I am wondering where in Aiken I can find scrapple similar to what I used to find in Pennsylvania. It is wonderful for breakfast with eggs. It is a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour. Scrapple is commonly considered an ethnic food of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Mennonites and Amish. If anyone knows, please send in a TalkBack, as I am anxious to find it here.
Ten years from now
From 2000 to 2009, every school day, I traveled from College Acres, near Chukker Creek Elementary, to near Aiken Technical College. Using the bypass, in the morning, the trip started as being 18 minutes long. After nine years, the trip was 23 minutes long. The issue is not how much traffic is on the bypass today, but in another 10 years, how much traffic will be on the bypass?
Traffic flow
As far as the 118 bypass widening, it's all about traffic flow. I'm sure we've all experienced slow traffic on what is called a bypass. The word bypass means you are avoiding slow traffic as a convenience through downtown obstacles. Traffic lights already on the bypass are annoying and seem to benefit only people living in the vicinity of these lights. Fifteen to 20 cars will stop to let one car come out of a side street. The people that built houses along bypass must have known it would eventually be widened. I'm sure the DOT is being fair with their compensation offers. Let progress proceed, let the bypass be a bypass.
Same families
Did you ever notice it's the same families that show up year after year for the free meals and the free toys and the giveaways?

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - An expert economist has testified in the public school finance trial that Texas teacher quality in the state is dropping, largely because of low pay in a competitive market.
Duke University Professor Jacob Vigdor said Tuesday that teacher salaries in Texas are 30 percent lower than for other college graduates and has fallen behind those paid in neighboring states.
Vigdor said 32 other states pay higher salaries, which in Texas have not kept up with inflation since 2000.
He said state data schools have added 270,000 more students, but have 3,400 fewer teachers. He cited statistics from 2010.
Vigdor added that student achievement will likely drop as a result of lower quality teachers.
More than 600 school districts have sued the state over $5.4 billion in cuts to school funding.

Back to School?
Well I've made the decision with Harmonie that I'm interested in going back to school. I've been pondering this idea for quite some time, but today it really kicked in that I want to make it happen. In order for this to proceed, I need to work a couple of things out.
What Degree Should I Work Toward?
My family will especially understand why this is a difficult question. I was in college for a few years before joining the Air Force and I must have changed my major four times. Computer programming, website design, english, and accounting are the changes I can remember. These changes steered me away from taking very many normal core classes and I have a feeling I'm way behind.
So, what direction do I go in? With hopes of running my non-profit, do I go toward a business degree? Maybe back to website design so I can build the entire website on my own? Possibly a different direction? How about obtaining skills needed to be an inspirational speaker or a better veteran advocate?
I hope to choose the right program for me. The next decision may be even more difficult.
What College Do I Attend?
In choosing a college, I would need a school that would be willing to help me learn in the way I want to learn? I have taken online courses as well as "brick and mortar" classes. I learn much better when I'm able to be in the classroom itself. Unfortunately, I am severely limited in being able to commute to classes. I have a solution though! I hope the school I choose will work with me by allowing me to "attend" classes from home using a webcam in the classroom. This way I am still able to learn from the teacher and be able to ask questions as if I was in the class.
In addition to selecting the correct school, this school would need to be willing to allow me some concessions. My memory has been severely hindered due to a severe concussion and very strong pain medications. Being successful in school is important to me and failing is not an option. I may not be able to learn at the same pace as 18 year old kids fresh out of high school, but with the proper time allotted to me I have no doubt I could pass any course.
If anyone knows of a college who is very pro-veteran, please let me know. I want to start classes in the fall and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Chase in city ends in crashSeptember 02,2014Chase in city
ends in crash
An early morning car chase in Rutland City over the weekend ended with a crash into a home on Stratton Road, according to Rutland Police.
At about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, city police tried to stop a Audi sedan seen leaving what police described as a known drug location on Woodstock Avenue.
Rather than stop, the driver, who police say was Jason Davis, of Rutland, sped up, fleeing down East Street. Davis allegedly failed to stop at a number of stop signs on East Street and Jackson Avenue. The chase turned onto Stratton Road where Davis car allegedly went off the road while trying to traverse an intersection and crashed into a home and a tree at 172 Stratton Road.
Davis was uninjured in the crash, however police said passenger Carissa Redfield was taken by Regional Ambulance Service to Rutland Regional Medical Center where a spokeswoman said she was treated and released. Davis dog was also injured and was taken to the Rutland Veterinary Clinic, police said.
Davis, whose license was criminally suspended, was jailed on $15,000 bail.
He is scheduled to appear in Rutland criminal court today to answer to charges of eluding police, driving with a suspended license and gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

I like the look of this case (reminds me of the DLO Jam Jacket that I use) but having the entire top open is a deal breaker. Does anyne need to access their SIM card that often? I like how on the silicone cases you can use the buttons THRU the case. Keeps em safe.
Review: Case-Mate Smooth Case for iPhone 3G/3GS
You just got your new iPhone for Christmas and you may have been wondering what case you should purchase to protect your new gift. I'm here to tell you if you are in the market for a slider case the Case-Mate Smooth for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS [iMore Store Link - $27.95] is one to consider. For the full review follow me after the break!
Inside the package you obviously get the case itself but you also get a crystal clear screen protector along with a small microfiber cleaning cloth. I personally choose not to use them but it's a nice gesture that I'm sure some of you can take advantage of them. The Case-Mate Smooth feels as it's name describes - smooth. With it's soft to the touch matte finish and with very minimal bulk added, it feels great in the hand. Even better is that offers a decent amount of grip without the sticky finish. You don't have to worry about a ton of dust or having a hard time removing your iPhone from you pocket or purse.
Like a majority of other sliders the Case-Mate Smooth comes in two separate pieces that easily slide on your iPhone and lock securely together. The major difference I noticed was that this particular case is the installation, it is much easier to slide on and off than most other cases. In more or less words, it fits perfectly. It slides on easy enough that you do not have to worry about scratching the back of the phone or the chrome bezel.
On the negative front, some may feel the case simply does not cover enough area of the phone as the complete top of your phone is unprotected. I'm sure Case-Mate feels some would like access to the sim card tray but I am not one of them. All of the other ports you would expect to be accessible are. Things like the volume control, power button, and headphone jack are all can easily accessed.
Admittedly slider cases generally are my least favorite to use out of all of the various types on the market today. This really held true until I was given the chance to test out the Case-Mate Sooth case [iMore Store Link] and then my opinion changed. Sure there are a few minor annoyances but it's a very solid effort. All other slider case manufactures need to take note here follow Case-Mate's lead.

Review: Case-Mate Smooth Case for iPhone 3G/3GS
Facebook 3.1 out
I'll tell ya what. I bought a case from switch easy as my first case, the capsule neo. Great case but you really can't beat some of the chinese knockoffs on eBay with the apple logo. They fit better than switcheasy's case are more durable and look a lot better. There's no need to spend $30 on a case when you can get one off eBay for $3. Not that it matters to me because I just rediscovered how amazing my iPhone is by going naked with a screen protector. So much better than having a bulky case on it all the time.
I wouldn't say it give you a better grip, it just a film over the whole phone it doesn't leave much trace of finger prints or oil. It will help your screen from cracking and getting scratches but that depends on how it's dropped or smashed. The warranty only cover new film on phone if it's scratched or torn. It's not like a case that keeps the phone from major damage it's more for scratches.

The most difficult from this set are Vortex and Equa, which I personally think are in Top 3 of the most difficult Cast puzzles. Then follow Helix and Laby. The easiest is Ring II, then follow Spiral, Amour and Duet. Overall, I think this is a great set of diverse puzzles, each unique and wonderful. If you have enough time, then try Duet or H&H or Laby. If you are looking for a trick or logic, then try Ring II, Helix, Spiral or Amour. But if you have nerves, just and only then consider working with Equa or Vortex.

with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Small baby swaddled in creamy caramel blankets clutched to her chest, the woman in the supermarket line in front of me rattled on happily about the birth of her newest child, wondering that six weeks had already flown by. I smiled at her and exclaimed "and before you know it, 20 years will have elapsed" as I thought of my own babies, now grown men.
Each birthday is a time of reflection: where we have been, where we are now and where we are going. Wishes made as candles are blown out, eyes tightly shut, images of health, wealth and world peace flutter through our imagination; dreams float in and out and with each passing birthday, as we get older and the weeks and months between celebrations seem to grow shorter, we tick off our accomplishments on our fingers and make lists of what there is left to do; the years that once yawned before us seem numbered, our time now urgent and we wonder again if there will be enough time to get done all that we desire.
Yet that brief encounter at a place so banal as the supermarket, seeing one young woman's face light up as she showed off her new baby, made me think of my own and I wonder if this is not my greatest accomplishment. I remember a letter once written to my brother so long ago during a rather rough period of my life when I counted happiness in moments spent with my husband, enumerated each struggle I faced living in a new country, how my days went with two small, headstrong boys; I felt locked in and going crazy, totally out of control and, need I say, as if I was going nowhere fast. My brother, always so thoughtful, so wise, so supportive, wrote back a long missive listing my accomplishments, reminding me that an extremely shy, small-town girl had picked up and moved abroad with no money and no help, married a Frenchman and was raising two multi-cultural sons; he pointed out that I had learned two foreign languages that I juggled on a daily basis in order to survive and get even my basic needs and those of my family met; he went on and on listing my achievements and exploits, forcing me to stare hard in the mirror of my own life and admit that, after all, I wasn't a failure and that I had indeed done some pretty impressive things with the short number of years that had at the time so far been awarded me.
And years have flown by. Things have only gotten better; my husband and I now confront our troubles and worries as a team, encouraging each other, sharing, trying to understand the other's confusion, difficulties and joys. We have gotten more adventurous as the years have scudded by, made changes, moved countries and cities, changed jobs as we have seen fit, as the urge, need, desire has come upon us. Maybe we have grown braver in the face of my brother's illness and death, realizing that no one can be sure of how much time is left and that each and every moment should count, each new birthday a gift. Maybe as we have grown older and smarter we began to realize that we wanted to show our growing boys all that life can and should be, teach them the lesson that we can't be afraid to face up to our dreams and that if we work hard enough we can make anything happen.

Okay, so birthdays make me sentimental and just slightly maudlin, I do admit. And another birthday has rolled around as they inevitably do and here I sit and think about… my sons. As I revealed and clarified in a previous post, my men are shy of the spotlight and none too thrilled with being mentioned in my writing, yet here I must reflect once again on how they began as adorable bambini and have grown into tall, handsome, fine young men. Clem, always the happy, chortling, gregarious tot, who ran before he could walk, chattered on and on before he could form words, frivolous and adventurous, has grown into a smart, ambitious, creative young man. My little Simon, thoughtful and quiet as a baby and toddler, careful, patient, eerily capable of too many things and having a capacity to read adults like some dark angel, sensitive and moody throughout his boyhood has become an honest, intellectual, generous, searching young adult just on the brink of his life. Both are kind, funny and clever, interested in the world around them, knowledgeable and cultivated. Both have the talent to tease their mother while making sure she is happy and safe, the capacity to drive her absolutely bonkers or outright into a rage while looking out for her well-being, protecting her while running her in circles. And both have the ability, in their pranks and jokes, to make me roll on the floor with laughter.
My husband and I are both on the point of starting over, beginning new careers, daring to find our true selves and put our happiness and our own satisfaction first; we focus on ourselves yet, looking around us, are astonished to see what our sons have become, astounded that we had a hand in creating two young adults that we are truly proud of. And watching and listening to them, sitting and talking and laughing with them, we realize that life has become just a little bit more satisfying and easier.
our children teach us what life is all about.

He continues to cook and I to bake. A brief interlude from the sweets for one more savory: an Endive and Cancoillotte Gratin, a recipe that jumped off of the page out of our latest issue of French Saveurs magazine. Cancoillotte is a creamy, thick yet almost liquid, sticky and rather elastic cheese from the Franche-Comté region of France with a flavor that is impossible to describe (think the best cheese fondu you have ever eaten). Warm up this flavorful treasure and it becomes liquid gold, unctuous, luxurious like the finest French silk rippling, sliding down one's skin. Although thick and oh-so decadent, Cancoillotte is one of the least fatty of cheeses with only 2 to 8% fat. Heaven! This dairy product has a fascinating history: it was actually conceived by a cheese producer during the First World War when he had the idea to produce, sterilize and can cheese to be sent easily to the soldiers, les Poilus, on the front. 90% of the production of Cancoillotte still takes place in Franche-Comté. Not widely known, my husband introduced this treasure into our home many years ago and, I can easily say, once a spoon is dipped into the creamy cheese and lifted to the lips, once it is served melted on toast, an all-time favorite, it is impossible to stop until the last drop is licked clean from the pot.
JP twiddled a bit with the recipe and placed on the table before us this magnificent gratin, at once slightly bitter (braised endives), salty (chunks of smoked ham), garlicky and tangy with this marvelous cheese all at once, the pecans giving the gratin an earthy, satisfying bite. A decadent pleasure. I paired it with this month's Bake Together recipe by my talented friend Abby Dodge, a peasant boule, which I jazzed up with a cup of finely grate Parmesan cheese and a handful or two of mixed seeds – pine nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. The Peasant Boule is this month's Bake Together recipe: follow #baketogether on Twitter and find out how you, too, can bake together with us!
I would like to share this bread with Susan of Wild Yeast for her weekly celebration of yeast, Yeastspotting!
From Saveurs février 2012
6 – 9 endives, depending on quantity desired
1 small pot (250 g) cancoillotte for 6 endives (1 ½ pots for 9)
Handful cubed smoked lardoons or ham
2.3 – 2.6 oz (65 – 75 grams) coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
Finely minced clove of garlic
1 small bouillon cube, optional
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter
Remove the outer leaves of the endives and trim off the end; discard. Slice each endive in two lengthwise and either steam or braise in a small amount of water with about ½ a bouillon cube (if desired), for about 10 minutes until soft.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter the bottom and sides of a baking dish (terra cotta or glass/pyrex) large enough to snugly hold all of the prepared endives in one layer. Line up the braised or steamed endives in a row in the prepared baking dish.
Briefly sauté the smoked lardons until browned. Sauté the lardons in a small amount of butter if desired.
Evenly distribute the minced garlic, the browned lardons and the chopped pecans over the endives. Salt and pepper. Pour the cancoillotte all over the endives and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. The cheese should be bubbly and beginning to brown around the edges.
Serve immediately.
1 recipe peasant boule
1 cup finely grated Parmesan or Comté cheese
½ to 1 cup mixed seeds
Follow the directions for Abby's Bake Together peasant boule on her blog, blending the cheese and seeds in with the dry ingredients before forming into a dough.
The only changes I made were using salted butter for the bowl, the pan and the top of the bread. I brushed the surface of the dough twice: once before the second rising, as instructed, and once just before sprinkling more seeds on the top of the boule and baking.
I changed the size of the cake pan I baked the bread in; I believe this may have led to the top of the bread splitting during baking as well as that the center of the dough was underbaked. But we loved the bread even if not perfect and I will be baking this again very soon.

How are created or simulated gemstones different from natural gemstones? Natural gems are created by the forces of nature and must be discovered, usually by digging in the ground or sifting through a riverbed. When these stones are created in a laboratory, they are called created, simulated or synthetic gemstones.
The purpose of creating gemstones in a laboratory isn't necessarily to reduce the cost, but also to produce larger, more perfectly consistent stones. Created or simulated gems can be made of any material. Synthetic gems, however, share virtually all chemical, optical and physical characteristics of their natural mineral counterparts.
Austrian crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.
A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.
Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.

Wind: 0 mph
Local businesses and ski areas reported the busiest holiday period in many years.
A big storm down country blanketed Massachusetts and the New York metropolitan region, drawing many people north to Vermont.
Many local inns and lodges sported "No Vacancy" signs over the holiday
period and local eateries had bumper-to-bumper parking lots as well as
wall-to-wall diners inside the door. At The Common Man, a record number
of dinners were served in one night and the Hyde Away, The Den, Purple
Moon, The Pitcher Inn (and Tracks downstairs), Terra Rossa, Jay's and
Chez Henri were busy every night.
The newly opened Pine Tree Pub and nearby Mutha Stuffers were busy throughout the week as were Three Mountain Coffee, The Green Cup, The Warren Store and all local delis and eateries. The parking lots at Mehuron's and Shaw's supermarkets were full every afternoon starting at about 3 p.m. and the newly opened Mad Taco saw many happy new customers.
At Sugarbush, skiers and riders abounded with parking lots, slopes and lift chorales full throughout the holiday period.
The Monday after Christmas, December 27, brought winds high enough to derail chairlifts in Maine but not in The Valley where lifts went on wind hold for most of the day. The day's temperatures ranged from seven to nine degrees Fahrenheit, leading many visitors to local gyms and shops and the cross country ski touring centers.
Conditions at Sugarbush and Mad River Glen and the local cross country ski touring centers held for the week, diminishing only at the end of the week when the weather warmed up to spring skiing temps. At Mad River Glen, the parking lot was full on Christmas Day and after the big wind events. The warm weather at the end of the week resulted in Mad River Glen closing for a few days. The resort is slated to re-open with the Practice Slope this weekend - unless more snow falls before then.
"Despite the winds of Monday and Tuesday and the thaw over New Year's weekend, we had four excellent days during Christmas week. Thursday and Friday were extremely strong for this period, and on each of those days we saw about 7,500 skiers. We normally see those numbers during February vacation week but not this early in the season. And our ski school programs, located in our two new base lodges, had a record week," said Sugarbush president Win Smith.
Sugarbush hosted its first pet parade on Saturday, January 1, drawing 50 dogs and 150 participants. Sugarbush also reported record crowds for the holiday torchlight parade and fireworks.

The Center for Ecoliteracy has developed a framework for schooling for sustainability, which we call Smart by Nature™. Our book Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability features success stories, lessons learned, and "What You Can Do" suggestions for applying this framework.
The framework is based on four guiding principles:
Nature Is Our Teacher
To envision sustainable communities, we look to design principles evolved since the advent of life on Earth. We can shape human societies and institutions after the patterns found in sustainable ecosystems and learn from traditional societies that have thrived for centuries following these same patterns. Accepting nature as our teacher helps educators focus on basic ecological principles, apply systems thinking, and practice solving for pattern, and support healthy living.
Sustainability Is a Community Practice
The sustainability of a community depends on the health and inclusiveness of the network of relationships within it. Successful schools act as "apprentice communities" for learning the art of living in an interdependent world. Schools teach by how they act in the world, use resources, and relate to the larger communities of which they are a part.
The Real World Is the Optimal Learning Environment
Sustainability is best learned in the real world. Students experience nature's patterns and processes as they occur. They become engaged in actions that matter and participate with people where they live and work. They observe and try out skills needed by change agents, and discover that they can make a difference. School buildings and campuses provide opportunities to explore and demonstrate sustainable practices.
Sustainable Living Is Rooted in a Deep Knowledge of Place
Places known and loved deeply have the best chance to be protected and preserved, so that they will be cherished and cared for by future generations. Studying a place in depth helps create a sense of kinship. It allows students to see through the eyes of the people who call that place home and helps them imagine and contribute to locally based solutions.

After 13 years of successfully working together, Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) and Young Survival Coalition (YSC) have decided that the 2014 C4YW (Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer) will be the organizations' final collaborative conference.
This partnership has been extremely rewarding and gratifying. Most importantly, it has been an integral part of informing and supporting thousands of young women diagnosed with breast cancer. Both organizations remain dedicated to strategically moving forward with services that best meet the goals of their respective missions.
Since its founding in 1991, LBBC has provided services and programming designed for all women impacted by breast cancer. LBBC will continue this work to ensure fulfillment of its mission of connecting people with trusted breast cancer information and a community of support.
For more than fifteen years, YSC has been dedicated to identifying and meeting the unique needs of young women diagnosed with breast cancer. As a leader in the young adult oncology movement, YSC will continue to support, educate and empower young women affected by breast cancer and advocate for increased research and a greater focus on this population from healthcare communities.
As a supporter or participant in C4YW, you can expect to continue to hear news and developments from both LBBC and YSC. In the meantime, check back right here within the next few weeks to obtain written and/or audio transcripts of select C4YW 2014 sessions.

Real Racing 2 HD for iPad 2 to provide 1080p, full screen video out to TV
Am I missing something here. Surely they need to allow apps on the apple tv. Then bam. IPhone or iPad as a controller and no need for a physical cable. If they rebranded the apple tv as "apple gaming tv" or something snappier they could make a stance on the casual console market ?!?! No ? Maybe ? Maybe not ?
By the way, the guy sucked on the video. Lol they could have gotten someone else better to do that.
It looks really nice, but god this is just silly. Who, in the age of Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, wants to play a game tethered to their television - in the most awkward way possible - with the most uncomfortable controller imaginable?
Fun for the novelty (and press), but come on... who's going to actually sit in front of their TV like this?
If you are bored while on business out of town, you could hook it up to your hotel TV. Might be handy if the cable was long enough to sit on the couch/bed.
Pretty sure this is a "story" because of the technical capability, not because of the gameplay or user experience.
I have a beautiful 65" Mitsubishi TV in the family room just waiting for this update. My friend, I'm gonna place the Lazy Boy dead center and sit there, like a child, and play 'till my arms fall off.
I have no games console, and a HD projector instead of a TV which is right behind the couch, so no long dangling lead needed. So, sounds really great for me! Shame about the 4 week online iPad 2 wait in the UK but this will be the first thing I try when it arrives!
Real nice layout and wonderful subject material , hardly anything else we need : D.

We've attempted through myriad tactics and many generations to incite positive social change.
We've managed change through education, dissent, rebellion, passive resistance, war. In spite of so much change we've still managed to maintain a hierarchical system of power where the desires of a few trump not only those of the many, but also of our inalienable rights as individuals. We collude with this system everyday through our schools, our government, our jobs and lifestyles, and within our family structures. Many are still playing along though they've long known the "father knows best" system failed us ages ago.
As a system it's given us some great tools, technologies and even greater diversions. It's bred brilliance, but also a populace where overall folks care more about sports than politics, more about Hollywood than health, more about violence than harmony, more about producing than the planet.
In our Domination model it's enough to cite "our interests" to declare war, conquer nations, pillage, humiliate. We support prisons that don't repatriate, an educational system that is akin to brainwashing, an infrastructure that's collapsing from disrepair, a socioeconomic structure that leaves masses of our children hungry. We wonder why we can't bear to watch the news and need pills to sleep at night.
Could 2012 be the beginning of the age of a new global ethic? If you're attuned to reading between the lines, you'd say like me, "Oh Yes!"
In our current patriarchal, hierarchical cultural paradigm a conscientious observer might otherwise be inclined toward depression or despair, because he's been trained only to see what he can physically see. But the number of folks who can see solutions in the spaces between–between the lines, peoples, places, planets, times–is exploding.
Astrophysicist Nassim Haramein is on the cutting edge of space, spending his life studying the 99.99% of the known universe. He claims scientists have so far gotten it all wrong: it's not the trees, stars, planets, oceans, forests, bodies that will reveal the true nature of the universe, it's everything else between. In the space is held the key to not only the still evasive "unifying theory," but also to the perfect answer to the prevailing question of how to evolve consciousness and restructure the entire workings of the world.
What is the ultimate answer to no more war, no more starvation, no more domination? It begins with tapping into the universal source of unlimited free energy, and it's absolutely do-able. How does that sound for a New Year's resolution?!
From free energy the day will quickly dawn when a privileged few don't have power over the vast majority. Our very notion of POWER will shift dramatically so that our sociopolitical system will again become a Collaboration model, as in the long period before written history. Interestingly, it sounds a lot like true Democracy.
It's not called Utopia, it's called Pragmatopia (Riane Eisler) and it's not an illusion or ideology. We do have the power to start creating it now. There is definitely enough will and knowledge in the collective. There's really just one thing that must drastically shift: How we are relating to one another–the relational field–the space between us. What will it look like to no longer see others in terms of "haves" and "have nots"? How can we as individuals prepare for such a future?
I wish I had all the answers, or could see the biggest picture, or could simply snap my fingers to make it be, but I don't and I can't. I do feel very confident in the first step: Meditation. When we meditate we honor the space, we allow the space, we grow inside the space–then creativity begins to flourish again from its source and we nourish our abilities to envision that which does not yet exist and pioneer new paths toward its becoming.
From the collective unconscious will spring visions of Pragmatopia that will spread like vines through the world, connecting us all to the universal heart of possibility. The notion that war is the only way and aggression is too powerful a part of our nature to overcome will diffuse into the dust of the ancient past.
The last frontier isn't outer space, it's ALL the space between and it's calling to us all from within and without to connect.
Some great resources that are also espousing a resounding YES!

After losing badly to Stipe Miocic at UFC 161, Roy Nelson was believed to be on his way out of the UFC. It was the last fight of his contract, and while fans may love his portly shape and powerful right hand, there was obvious friction between Nelson and UFC president Dana White. Nelson received a new contract, a co-main event fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 166, but still continues to talk about how poorly the promotion has treated him. Via MMA Junkie:
Dana argued that the reason that the UFC hasn't given Nelson a title shot is his inability to win a fight that merits a title shot:"Roy has this belief that we won't give him a title shot," White said. "We just won't do it."
I think Dana is 100% correct. Nelson has been given multiple fights against proven contenders and has lost all of them. He was destroyed by Junior dos Santos, ragdolled by Frank Mir, and comprehensively beaten by Fabricio Werdum. Stipe Miocic is not considered a title contender and Nelson was dominated by him, too. And at age 37 with 27 pro fights and nine years of pro MMA under his belt, the odds of him -- yes, even in a division as thin as heavyweight -- reaching top contender status are just about slim and none.You've got to beat the guys to get a title (shot)," White said. "He's never beat the guys to get himself in line for a title shot."

Emergency NumbersPhone Book (Must be on-campus or have a valid network account)
Chapter 6: Chair Budget GuideIntroduction
The purpose of the department's budget is to support its ongoing activities. More fundamentally, departmental funds-which originate primarily from students' tuition dollars-are intended to support students' learning experiences. Therefore, one of the main responsibilities of a chair is to ensure accountability and proper management of the department's budget in a manner consistent with the colleges' mission and goals.General Information and Expectations
A department will have a primary account at one of the two business offices; however, because of student salary accounts, which, for men, are housed at Saint John's and, for women, at Saint Benedict's, and faculty salaries which are housed at the college which holds the faculty contract, departments will also have a second account. The second account will contain only relevant salary-related accounts. The campus on which the primary budget is housed, however, should not be confused with the funding source. The academic budget as a whole is funded by both colleges, with cost-sharing based on enrollment.
Each department chair can access current budget reports via the Cognos system on the business office websites. See the Budget Reports section at the end of this chapter for more information. The chair or department coordinator should examine these reports on a regular basis to track departmental spending, to effectively steward departmental resources, and to watch for mistaken entries. (The wrong number on an invoice or check request can impact your budget, so it is worthwhile to check if all charges are in the right places.)
The colleges' fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Every department budget is expected to conclude the fiscal year with a positive balance. In other words, any budget lines running a deficit must be balanced by lines with an equal or greater surplus. Because of their unique nature, transfers are not possible from capital, salary, student salary, fringe benefits, travel, assessment, and supply accounts. Otherwise, funds can be transferred from areas of low need to areas of high need, within limits of the overall budget. To transfer funds from one budget line to another, the chair completes a budget revision form available online from either business office. That form is forwarded to the associate academic dean for approval.
If certain budget lines perennially end the year with deficit balances whereas other budget lines end with surplus balances, the department chair should consult with the associate dean. If appropriate, the chair may request a budget reallocation from the associate dean.
If, due to unforeseen circumstances or insurmountable challenges, a department does not expect to balance its budget, the chair should contact the associate dean to discuss possible solutions as early as possible during the fiscal year. Because a positive balance at the departmental level is critical to a positive balance for the academic budget as a whole-and, by extension, a positive balance for both college budgets-Academic Affairs relies on the care of the chairs in maintaining the integrity of their budgets.
Each year, departments will be asked to submit budget requests for the next fiscal year. New money requests need to be documented with specific reference to our strategic plan.
Questions? Specific concerns regarding forms and the proper accounting of charges, transfers, reimbursements, etc. can be most expediently addressed with either the executive secretary in the Business Office at SJU or the accounting assistant in the Business Office at CSB. Questions regarding more general policy or procedure, suggestions for improvement in processes, etc. can be directed to the academic dean.
Notes on Budget LinesCompensation
Budget reports may show compensation (salary) lines for faculty and support staff. These lines are used for internal accounting purposes, and, under most circumstances, a chair is not expected to monitor them since they do not enter into the budgeting process at a departmental level.Student Salaries - General
Each department receives an allocation for student salaries. Departments are authorized to hire students within the limits of their salary allocation. Those allocations are reviewed annually by the student employment office to determine if funds should be shifted to better meet departmental hiring needs. If, for example, a department has not utilized all of its departmental funding for student employees for two years, the Director of Student Employment may reallocate some of the student employment funds to an academic department requesting additional student assistance.
Student salary funds can be transferred from CSB to SJU and vice-versa, so that departments can adjust the salary budgets to fit the gender balance of their student employees. However, student salary funds cannot be transferred to another budget line. This restriction is a formal safeguard to ensure that student employee funds do not compete for funding with other departmental priorities.Student Salaries - Research
There are several sources of funding for student research and scholarly/creative projects during the summer and throughout the year. The Director of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement oversees budgetary funds that support direct costs of student projects and student travel to present at meetings. The Honors Program supports student scholarship through the Honors Thesis Program and a small number of Summer Research Fellowships for juniors preparing to write an Honors Thesis. Some departments receive budgetary funding for Summer Research Fellowships through Financial Aid/Student Employment. Departments may contact the Financial Aid/Student Employment Office to inquire about the availability of/apply for student employment funds to support student or student/faculty collaborative projects during the summer. Faculty participating in summer work with students receive a small stipend. Departments should consult with the Director of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement and the academic dean regarding their needs for student research funding. Planning several years in advance for anticipated summer or academic year student research funding is strongly suggested.Travel
To support the efforts of faculty members to stay abreast of developments in their fields and engage with the larger scholarly community, a travel allowance of $750 is allocated for each full-time (greater than 3/6ths) member of the department. This allocation is made for faculty on sabbatical (but not on leave) and for faculty with term contracts, as well as for faculty with tenured and tenure-track appointments.
The travel allotment is primarily individual, and secondarily departmental. Each full-time faculty member should have access to at least $750. Understandably, some faculty members may not have need of their full allowance in a particular year, while others may have need of more. Therefore, the department may wish to allot unneeded funds to those members who request additional support. This action might be accomplished in several ways, including an application system at the beginning of each semester or through a process of ongoing requests. In sum, after meeting individual needs, travel funds should be shifted to best meet the needs of the department as a whole.
Unspent travel funds at the end of the fiscal year revert to the academic dean's faculty travel budget account for funding extraordinary travel needs. The faculty development committee, as well as the academic dean, may accept requests for extra funding in cases of international conferences or other needs in excess of departmental resources.
Travel funds are not to be transferred to other lines within a departmental budget. Because of the importance of professional development, funds dedicated to faculty travel should not be used to support other departmental functions.
The Business Offices request that charges to travel accounts be made in the fiscal year in which the activity occurs. Although pre-payments in June for a conference in August can be arranged, the departmental travel account will be charged for the payment in the fiscal year in which the conference takes place.Office Expense
The office expense line funds the purchase of routine office materials, and, in cases where there is not a separate line for duplicating, photocopy expenses are also charged to this line. Please note that expenses related to courses which charge fees should not registered in this line. As noted below, all materials related to fee-bearing courses should be charged to the line labeled "Supplies".Telephone
The charge for each telephone extension is $350 annually. Typically, telephone charges are assessed early in the fall of the year and an expense statement is sent to each department monthly. As a standard policy, faculty are expected to reimburse the department for long-distance calls of a personal nature. Department chairs receive a monthly long-distance telephone charges report. Any questions/reimbursements should be directed to the sender of those reports.
If the departmental budget has inadequate funds for telephones in the telephone budget line, chairs should project costs for the entire year and transfer sufficient funds from another budget line to cover the anticipated deficit. If a department anticipates a continuing need for additional funds in this budget line (staffing increases, etc.) this should be addressed in the annual departmental budget request. Departments are encouraged to steward this budget line by eliminating phones which are no longer needed or by sharing among neighboring departments fax and/or student worker lines.Supplies (course fees)
Fees may be added to courses/labs which involve heavy use of disposable materials or other course-specific items. Students pay fees in accord with the cost of those materials used during the course.
Ideally, the fee revenue collected from students should be matched by an allocation in the supply line of the departmental budget. But because of a few imbalances between fee revenue and supply budgets which remain embedded in the budgeting process, several departments will continue to receive more or less supply funding than they actually generate. Academic Affairs has worked closely with the Business Office to close the gaps and improve accountability to students. That effort will continue as budget adjustments are made each semester based on actual enrollments in fee-bearing courses. At the same time, it is important for departments to carefully monitor the expenses charged to the supplies budget lines.
Funds may not be transferred from the supplies line of the budget to other lines.
To ensure fees are being properly assessed, Academic Affairs requires that any modifications in course fees be proposed by the chair and approved by the associate academic dean before being printed in course registration materials. Proposals for modifications should include relevant information such as the course description, materials used in the course, enrollment projections, and needs unmet by the current supply budget.
To allow for review, proposals should be submitted to the associate academic dean by the first week of the semester prior to the offering of the course. Fees may not be added to a course after students have registered for that semester.Assessment
Each department has a budget line to support departmental assessment efforts. Unspent dollars in this budget line are carried forward to supplement this line in the following fiscal year. This allows departments to plan major assessment projects for a particular year and to build a fund to support that project. The director of Academic Review and Curricular Advancement also has available to departments some additional funds to supplement major assessment projects. Contact the director of Academic Review and Curricular Advancement to apply.Capital - Technology
Department chairs are notified early in the spring semester of the timeline for requesting desktop computing hardware, classroom/lab technology and academic software. Such requests are submitted on-line to the Committee on Academic Computing. Requests should include a brief description of the intended user(s), item descriptions and notes regarding each item requested. Because requests inevitably outstrip the capital funding available for technology-related purchases, full information about each item's importance to the department's courses, research opportunities, and general program will help the academic officers make well informed allocations. The Committee on Academic Computing completes its work and department chairs are notified before the end of the spring semester of funded CAC requests for the upcoming academic year.Capital - Other
Capital is understood to be durable equipment of significant value. As a general guideline, capital items are those which cost $1,000 or more. However, less expensive items needed for permanent laboratory or office equipment may be considered in departmental capital requests.
Capital request forms are sent to department chairs once each year, typically early in the fall semester. Departments requesting capital allocations will be asked to include a 5 year capital request plan and a brief justification and priority of requested items. Departments will be notified of provisionally approved allocations by April 15. Approved funds are made available after the 10th Day of Classes in the fall semester, and purchases should be made during the fiscal year.
After capital awards are made early in the fall, departments should purchase equipment as intended during the fiscal year. In special circumstances carryover may be arranged; for example, a back-ordered item or other justified reasons. Such an arrangement must be approved by the associate academic dean in advance of the close of the fiscal year.
Capital allocations are made for specific items requested by the department. If the department wishes to purchase equipment other than that specified in its request, the chair should contact the academic dean.Repair/Replacement
Funds in this line are intended for the maintenance of existing equipment and the replacement of minor tools and instruments. The purchase of new equipment worth more than $500 (i.e. capital) is not appropriate, unless specifically approved by the associate academic dean. Because carryover in this budget line is not possible, chairs should survey repair needs early in the year and develop a maintenance schedule to ensure that all repair funds are properly expended by year end.Allocation Lines
Departmental budget reports may also contain allocation lines. These lines represent internal charges which move funds between areas or between CSB and SJU. Allocation lines are not used for any kind of expenditure nor are they counted as part of the departmental budget.Program Review
The colleges rotate programs through a process of formal review. The academic dean administers the budget for this process and works closely with the chair throughout the review. Requests for support of departmental program review costs, typically the travel and stipend costs of external reviewers, should be made of the vice provost well before such costs are incurred.
Notes on Chair Responsibilities
In addition to reviewing actual departmental expenses versus budgeted amounts on a regular basis and making capital requests for technology-related and other items, department chairs are responsible for approving travel advance and expense reimbursement forms and check request forms generated by faculty in their department. In reviewing these forms, department chairs should be satisfied that such requests meet college requirements, are valid expenditures for the department, and are charged to the proper account. Department chairs may not approve their own travel advance and expense reimbursement forms and check request forms; rather, these forms should be submitted to the associate academic dean for approval.
Budget ReportsAccount number
The middle five digits of the account number are particular to each department. Numbers which begin with "6" denote an account housed at Saint John's; numbers which begin with "9" denote an account housed at Saint Benedict's. The last five digits are assigned to specific lines and are common across departments. The number "71201" for example is always for telephones.Budget Report Options
Departmental budget and actual expenditure reports can be accessed via the Cognos system. See the Finance Reporting Environment web page for a tutorial and the links to generate budget reports.
If a department chair or coordinator requires more detailed or specialized reporting capabilities, they can contact the business office that houses the department budget.
