Cornishman helms Orbital's new video
Posted: March 16, 2012|
A FILM-MAKER from Cornwall has made the new video for dance legends Orbital's first single for eight years.
Ian Bucknole was commissioned to make the promo film for New France, a brooding, atmospheric track, featuring electronic musician Zola Jesus.
The brilliant, heart-tugging video follows a lion-like creature rebelling against his little owner and escaping for a night on the town in Truro with his mates (one of whom is Cornish actor Dan Harvey).
But is freedom all it's cracked up to be?
The impressive Jim Henson-style puppet was created in just a few days by another talented Cornish film-maker, Hana Backland.
Ian, who comes from St Agnes, attended Truro College and film school in London, said: "It was quite a daunting task but very exciting. One of their videos, The Box, which starred Tilda Swinton, was a big influence on me, so I felt a bit intimidated.
"As soon as I heard the music though I could visualise it on film.
"Orbital have been really supportive and just let me get on with it. Though they did say, 'don't make it look like Flat Eric'."
Ian is already making a name for himself in the music video world – his bittersweet film for Ruarri Joseph's Severed Dreams, featuring the singer and his childhood robot friend, won best short at last year's Cornwall Film Festival.
As a result, Ruarri's management company asked him to make a video for another of their artists, John Smith. The superb one-take video featuring Smith as a baleful magician was another hit.
Mondo Management – which happens to be run by another Cornishman, Chris Norton – then commissioned Ian to make the Orbital film.
Ian added: "I like to think of my videos as handmade blockbusters stuck together with tape. There are no computer effects, everything is done by hand.
"There are enough talented people in Cornwall to make the films looks spectacular."
He mentions the new Doghouse film production space at Discovery Quay, Falmouth – a sustainable and profitable enterprise for film in Cornwall – and his director of photography Joseph Henderson as just two of those pushing film forward in the county.
Ian, who has just made a striking video for Rosie Vanier's new single Neon Nightmare, said: "I like to see this as the first chapter for me. There is renewed energy in the film world down here – I would like to see us all come together to form a Cornish film collective, so we can pitch together as one to record and film companies.
"Recent films like Weekend Retreat and Happy Christmas show that we have the whole package of talent in Cornwall."
The duo's comeback album Wonky is released on April 1.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor warned Democrats that the GOP "will not grant their request for a debt limit increase" without major spending cuts or budget process reforms.
This strikes me as a wise strategy. Republicans are in a stronger position to get their way in the debt-limit debate than they were in government shutdown showdown. For one thing, a government shutdown would not be not nearly as damaging to the nation as the effects of not raising the debt ceiling. The president knows this; he cannot, and he will not, allow the country to default on its obligations. Doing so would imperil what Obama cares about most, his reelection. That is the central fact Republicans must bear in mind during negotiations.
In addition, much of the public is against raising the debt ceiling; if we have to do it, as we must, it certainly makes sense to link that act to major spending cuts or budget reforms. There's an intuitive connection the public will make between Obama's profligacy and having to raise the debt ceiling.
It doesn't hurt, of course, that in 2006 then-Senator Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling and blamed having to do so on a failure of presidential leadership. Obama's recent mea culpa won't work; what he said was a matter of public record. His own credibility on this matter is badly damaged.
If one believes, as most Republicans do, that our deficit and debt are survival-level threats caused by out-of-control spending, then it makes perfect sense to use the debt-limit moment to leverage spending cuts and budget process reforms. (Insisting on a vote on a balanced budget amendment would be a mistake; it's a symbolic vote which doesn't have a chance of becoming law any time soon. It's much better to force concessions that can be put into effect immediately.)
The negotiations will be tough; the attacks on the GOP will be ferocious and demagogic. No matter; Republicans should hold shape. They have the arguments on their side and a president who knows, at the end of the day, he has to raise the debt limit. And he will. But he will do so on Republican terms. Because in 2010, Republicans won.

Fancy a headphone party by the Vienna State Opera?
On June 30th, 2012, students and staff moseyed into the shadows of the Vienna State Opera, iPhones in hand. A cue from three student DJs set the entire TGS community into dance mode simultaneously. The mix was an audio project for the three students in newMedia Lab, a weekly time block for grades 9 and 10 that supports the development of new media skills. The experience was a memorable one for all, including the unaware Viennese passers-by.
An engaging look at Nazi Germany with Dr. Pearson
While conducting school in Berlin, Germany, THINK Global School received a visit from Dr. Joseph Pearson, a Cambridge historian, writer, and resident of Germany's capital. In one of his many enlightening lectures, Dr. Pearson had the students analyze whether they believe an individual or the collective can change history.
Students inquire about the Holocaust with Dr. Joseph Pearson
THINK Global School faculty and students had the privilege of receiving Cambridge historian Dr. Joseph Pearson as a visiting lecturer in Berlin. In the following videos, Dr. Pearson discusses with our students some perplexing realities of concentration camps during the Holocaust.
Germany's Creative Arts curriculum & the Berlin Biennale
Cécile B. Evans–a Berlin-based artist and the Creative Arts teacher for Germany–explains this term's curriculum and the students' final project at the Berlin Biennale. In this video, students visit the exhibition and express their impressions of various works. The culminating assessment of Creative Arts in Germany is the creation of audio guides, written and recorded by TGS students, that visitors to the Biennale can use to experience this politically-charged exhibition.
Students prepare for Model United Nations at the Baltic Sea
In March of this year, students transformed into delegates at the Model United Nations assembly in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This activity was a first for TGS, one widely heralded as a worthwhile experience. This month, 19 of our students returned to the action at the BALMUN (Baltic MUN) conference in Rostock, Germany. Four other students acted as TGS press and documented the experience with articles, photography, and film. The following are their published works from the first half of the conference.

A caesarean section, or c-section, is an operation in which a baby is born through a cut made in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. A caesarean section may be planned (elective) if there are signs that a vaginal birth is risky, or unplanned (emergency) if there are problems during labour.
A caesarean section (c-section or 'caesarean') is a surgical procedure in which a baby is born through an incision (cut) made in the mother's abdominal wall and the wall of the uterus (womb). Your baby will need to be delivered by caesarean section if there are serious problems that prevent the baby being born by a normal vaginal birth.
A caesarean section may be planned (elective) if there are signs that a vaginal birth is risky, or unplanned (emergency) if there are problems during labour.
If you have no serious problems with your pregnancy or labour a vaginal birth is the safest way for your baby to be born. Most women have vaginal births (about three in four).
You have a right to be involved in and to make decisions about your care. A caesarean can only be performed if you give your written permission. Your partner or next of kin can give written permission if you are not able.
Reasons for a planned caesarean section
There are several reasons why you and your obstetrician might decide on a planned (elective) caesarean birth. Not all women have or need to have caesareans in these circumstances. The decision will be based on a combination of your particular situation and, in some cases, your preferences. They include:
- You have previously had a caesarean section
- Your baby is positioned bottom or feet first and can't be turned (breech)
- Your cervix (opening to the womb) is blocked by the placenta (placenta previa)
- Your baby is lying sideways (transverse) and is not able to be turned by the doctor
- You have a twin pregnancy, with your first baby positioned bottom or feet first
- You are having three or more babies.
Reasons for an unplanned caesarean section
Some of the reasons for an unplanned (emergency) caesarean birth include:
- Your baby's head does not move down or 'fit' through your pelvis during labour
- Your labour does not progress – your contractions are not strong enough and your cervix opens too slowly or not at all
- Your baby shows signs of distress or their health is being compromised
- The umbilical cord, which provides important nutrients and oxygenated blood to your baby, has fallen down (prolapsed) through the cervix and into the vagina after your waters have broken
- A health problem, such as high blood pressure, may make labour riskier for you and your baby.
Things to consider before having a caesarean section
Before you have a caesarean section, you should talk to your doctor or obstetrician about:
- Your general health, including any health problems, as some things may affect your doctor's decisions about surgery and anaesthetics
- Possible risks and complications
- Any bleeding problems and whether you bruise easily
- Any allergies you may have or any medications you are taking
- Tests you need to have – these include blood tests to check if you are anaemic and to make sure there is some blood available in case you need it during or after the caesarean section.
Anaesthetic for a caesarean section
There are three types of anaesthetic you may be given so that you do not feel any pain during your operation:
- Spinal anaesthetic – the most common anaesthetic for a planned caesarean. A needle will be inserted between the bones in your spine and local anaesthetic will be injected though the needle. This will block the pain from your chest downwards. You will be awake and able to breathe normally. As your baby is being born, you may feel tugging and pulling sensations, but no pain.
- Epidural anaesthetic – often used to lessen the pain of labour. If you have already been given an epidural during labour, and it is working well, the epidural can be topped up for an emergency caesarean. The epidural is a plastic tube which will be inserted into a space around the lining of your spine. Local anaesthetic will be injected through the tube, which will block any pain sensation from your waist down. You will be awake and able to breathe normally. As your baby is being born you may feel tugging and pulling sensations, but no pain.
- General anaesthetic – only to be given if for some reason you can't have a spinal or epidural anaesthetic. A general anaesthetic might also be given if your baby needs to be born very quickly. You will breathe oxygen through a mask and you will be given medicine though a drip, which will make you drowsy and put you to sleep. You will sleep through your baby's birth.
Types of caesarean sections
The only difference between caesareans is where the cuts (incisions) are made to the uterus. After your caesarean, ask the obstetrician what kinds of cuts were made. This will be useful information when you are making decisions about future births.
The two types of cuts that can be used when you have a caesarean section are:
- A lower segment incision – will be used wherever possible. This is a horizontal (across) cut through the abdomen (stomach) and a horizontal cut through the lower part of the uterus, sometimes known as a 'bikini line' incision. These cuts heal better, are less visible and are less likely to cause problems in future pregnancies.
- A classical incision – refers to a vertical cut on the uterus. The cut on the abdomen may be horizontal or vertical. This type of incision is usually only used for extreme emergencies or in specific situations, such as if the placenta is lying very low, if your baby is lying sideways or if your baby is very small. It can increase the chance of having problems in later pregnancies and births.
Preparing for a caesarean section
To prepare for your caesarean:
- You will need to fast – no food or drink, including water – for six hours before a planned caesarean. If it is an emergency caesarean, the doctor will ask you when you last had any food or drink so they know how to proceed with your operation.
- You will have blood tests taken.
- You may have a support person with you, unless there are serious complications or you need a general anaesthetic. It is generally possible for someone to take photos of your baby being born, so ask your support person to bring a camera if they have one.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions or to tell the doctors or midwives if you are feeling worried. If you have any special preferences, please talk to your doctor or midwife beforehand, so they can try to support your choices.
- If the doctor believes you are at increased risk of blood clots, you may be measured for compression stockings to wear during the operation.
- The theatre team will clean your abdomen with antiseptic and cover it with sterile cloths to reduce the risk of infection. In many hospitals, the hair around the area to be cut is shaved so that it is easier to clean. You will have a catheter (plastic tube) inserted into your bladder so that it remains empty during the operation.
During a caesarean section
The actual operation usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. It will involve:
- The doctor will make a cut in your abdomen and your uterus (both about 10 cm long).
- Your baby will be lifted out through the cut. Sometimes the doctor may use forceps to help lift out your baby's head.
- Your baby will be carefully checked.
- You will be able to hold your baby soon afterwards. Skin-to-skin contact can strengthen your early bond with your baby and make breastfeeding easier.
- If you cannot hold your baby in the operating theatre, your support person will most likely be able to hold your baby instead.
- The umbilical cord will be cut and your placenta removed.
- An injection will usually be given to make your uterus contract and to minimise bleeding.
- Antibiotics will be given to reduce the risk of infection.
- The layers of muscle, fat and skin will be stitched back together and a dressing will be applied over the wound.
After a caesarean section
A number of things will occur after you have a caesarean, including:
- You will be cared for in the recovery room until you are ready to go to the ward.
- If you have had a general anaesthetic, you will most likely wake up in the recovery room. You should be able to see your baby once you are awake.
- You will be encouraged to breastfeed. The earlier you start to breastfeed, the easier it is likely to be for both you and your baby. Having a caesarean can make breastfeeding harder to start, so ask for all the support you need. Breastfeeding is the best possible food to help your baby grow healthy and strong, and the midwives are there to help you. Some hospitals encourage women to breastfeed their baby in the recovery room if there is a midwife to assist.
- Tell your midwife or doctor when you are feeling pain so they can give you something to ease it. Pain relief medication may make you a little drowsy.
- You may have a drip for the first 24 hours or so, until you have recovered from the anaesthetic.
- You can start to drink after any nausea has passed.
- The midwife or doctor will tell you when it's okay to eat again.
- Your catheter will stay in until the anaesthetic has worn off and you have normal sensation in your legs to walk safely to the toilet. This might not be until the next day.
- Walking around can help with recovery. It can also stop blood clots and swelling in your legs. A midwife will help you the first time you get out of bed.
- You may also have an injection to stop blood clots.
- You may need antibiotics after the operation.
- You may have trouble with bowel movements for a short time after the operation. It should help to drink plenty of water and eat high-fibre food. The doctor or midwife can give you more advice.
- When your dressing is taken off, you will be instructed to keep the wound clean and dry. This will help it to heal faster and reduce the risk of infection.
Special care for your baby after a caesarean section
After a caesarean, your baby is more likely to have breathing problems and be admitted to the special care nursery for a period of time (although they are usually ready to go home when you are). About 35 in every 1000 babies have breathing problems after a caesarean birth (compared with 5 in 1000 babies following a vaginal birth).
If your baby is premature or unwell, they may also need to go to the special care nursery. Your partner or support person can usually go with the baby. When you are well enough, and as soon as it is possible, the midwife or nurse will help you to see your baby. The midwives or nurses can help you with expressing breast milk for your baby.
Risks and complications of a caesarean section
In Australia, a caesarean is a common and relatively safe surgical procedure, but it is still major surgery. As with all surgical procedures, there are risks for both you and your baby.
Some of the more common risks and complications include:
- Above-average blood loss
- Blood clots in the legs
- Infection in the lining of the uterus
- A longer stay in hospital (three to five days, or 72 to 120 hours, on average)
- Pain around the wound (you will be given pain relief)
- Problems with future attempts at vaginal birth
- A need for a caesarean section for future births
- Complications from the anaesthetic.
Some problems you should look out for include:
- Pain in your abdomen or wound that is getting worse and that doesn't go away after you take pain killers
- Ongoing or new back pain, especially where you had the epidural or spinal injection (muscular aches and pains are normal)
- Pain or burning when you pass urine
- Leaking urine
- Constipation
- Increased vaginal blood loss or bad-smelling discharge from the vagina
- Coughing or shortness of breath
- Swelling or pain in your calf (lower leg)
- Wound edges pulling apart or looking infected.
Going home and the first six weeks after a caesarean section
After a caesarean, women usually stay in hospital for about three to five days. This can vary between hospitals or if there are problems with your recovery. In some hospitals you can choose to go home early and have your follow-up care at home. Ask the nurse or midwife about what your hospital offers.
Tips to help with recovery in the first six weeks include:
- Get as much rest as you can. Ask family or friends to help, or organise paid help if you can afford it. If you feel you need extra support at home, talk with the doctor or midwife or maternal and child health nurse.
- Do not lift any weight that is heavier than your baby. Be careful of your back when you lift and don't lift anything that causes you pain.
- Take a gentle walk every day. This can have physical and emotional health benefits. Hospital physiotherapists can help with appropriate exercise ideas as you start to recover.
- Eat a healthy, high-fibre diet and drink plenty of water. Do this every day to avoid constipation.
- Use warmth on your wound. Warmth can have a soothing effect. Try a wheat bag or hot water bottle.
- Take pain relievers regularly to begin with to prevent pain. If you are breastfeeding, check that any medication you are using is safe for your baby too.
- Keep your wound clean and dry. Wear loose clothing and look for signs of infection (such as redness, pain, swelling of the wound or bad-smelling discharge). Report these to the doctor or midwife.
- Avoid sex until you feel comfortable. It is quite normal to for it to take weeks, even months, before you are ready to have sex.
- Numbness or itching around the scar is normal. This can last a long time for some women.
- Join a new mother's group. Talking with other mums who have had a similar experience to you can be very helpful.
Some women feel very positive about having a caesarean while others feel disappointed or sad. It can be very helpful to talk through any feelings of disappointment with your partner, family, friends and carers. The nurse or midwife can also refer you for counselling if you are feeling very low.
Looking after a new baby is hard for all women, but it can be harder when you are recovering from a caesarean. Be kind to yourself. It may take a few weeks or even longer to recover, particularly if you have had complications.
You should not drive a car until your wound has healed (usually about six weeks). Talk with your doctor about when they think would be a safe time to start driving again.
Long-term health outlook after a caesarean section
It is unlikely that you will have the same problem again with future pregnancies or births. However, the fact that you have had a caesarean can cause different problems for future pregnancies or births. If you become pregnant again, you will need to talk to your doctor about whether your next birth will be a caesarean or a vaginal birth.
Vaginal birth after caesarean section
Many women who have previously had a caesarean section can safely give birth vaginally. This is commonly referred to as 'vaginal birth after caesarean section' or VBAC.
The benefits of VBAC are:
- lower risk of developing complications than with repeat elective caesarean section
- avoiding other risks associated with surgical procedures (infections, deep vein thrombosis, less blood loss)
- faster recovery
- generally less risk for the baby (for example, there is a decreased risk of your baby being admitted to a special care nursery for respiratory problems).
One of the risks associated with VBAC is rupture of the uterine scar. About one in every 200 VBACs attempted results in rupture of the uterine scar. For those women who do have a uterine rupture, there is an increased risk of hysterectomy and stillbirth.
If you have had a previous caesarean section, to make an informed decision it is recommended that you:
- obtain the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) patient information pamphlet entitled Vaginal birth after caesarean section
- discuss and clarify the information with your doctor or midwife and ask what types of care and support your hospital offers for women choosing VBAC.

Things to remember
- A caesarean section is a surgical procedure in which a baby is born through a cut made in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus.
- A baby will need to be born by caesarean section if there are serious problems that prevent the baby being born by a normal vaginal birth.
- Caesarean section is a relatively safe operation; however, possible complications include infection, damage to your internal organs, an increased risk of respiratory distress for your baby and complications with future pregnancies.

A caesarean section, or c-section, is an operation in which a baby is born through a cut made in the mother's abdominal wall and uterus. A caesarean section may be planned (elective) if there are signs that a vaginal birth is risky, or unplanned (emergency) if there are problems during labour.

SNELLVILLE - Shiloh Elementary School's PTA plans to file an insurance claim to recoup some money stolen from the group, but a gift from an Atlanta woman has boosted spirits in the school's community.The school received a $100 check for the Parent Teacher Association, along with a note from the mother of an Atlanta Public Schools student who expressed her sympathy about the news that the group's former treasurer had been arrested on charges of theft by taking, officials said. Holly Melton, the co-president of the Gwinnett County Council of PTAs, said she was excited to hear about the check. "I hope this person reaps a lot of benefits for their good will," she said. The PTA will not be able to process a claim with the liability insurance until the police report is complete, Melton said. Neither police nor PTA officials have confirmed how much money was lost. The group's former treasurer, Cheryl Dixon, turned herself in last month to authorities on two charges of theft by taking. Dixon resigned from the PTA at the beginning of this school year, Melton said. Dixon's employer, Hands On Atlanta, is aware of the arrest and plans to "monitor the situation very closely," said Tracy Hoover, the nonprofit's chief executive officer. Hoover said Dixon is a "well-respected member of the community" who has worked with nonprofit organizations for more than 20 years. "We're hopeful that this matter will resolve favorably," Hoover said. The PTA's former co-president, who now works for Shiloh Elementary, is also under investigation. The school district's human resources division is looking into the incident, but district spokeswoman Sloan Roach said that investigation is hinging on the Police Department's findings. Roach said Shiloh Elementary has always had a strong PTA, and she said the check was a sign that people recognize the good work the organization has done. "I think it goes to show that people realize the importance of the PTA in supporting schools," Roach said.

Former Peruvian President Returns to USF
AS FORMER PERUVIAN President Alejandro Toledo sees it, the conventional wisdom that economic growth and increases in income will reduce poverty and inequality is flawed. While growth is important, he said, it alone will not eliminate poverty in Latin America.
"Economic growth is indispensable, but insufficient to deal with poverty," said Toledo, a 1970 graduate of the University of San Francisco and noted economist, during a Jan. 31 talk presented by the USF Center for the Pacific Rim.
Toledo discussed the intricate links between democracy, economic growth, and poverty, saying research shows that even as a nation experiences economic growth, the number of people living in poverty does not necessarily decrease. For its part, he said, a democratically elected government does not instantly translate to a lessening of poverty.
Yet for both economic growth and democracy to be sustained in places such as Latin America, Toledo said, poverty must be dealt with. To accomplish this, Toledo suggests an approach he calls social democracy—ensuring the poor have access to quality education and healthcare. Without that access, democracy will remain unstable and economic growth unsustainable.
"I've always believed that healthcare and education are the most powerful weapons to fight poverty," Toledo said.
Toledo was elected president of Peru in 2001 and served until 2006. He is currently a Hoover Institution Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Stanford University and credits USF as being the first educational institution to give him the chance to pursue his dreams.
Throughout his speech, Toledo mentioned that his success and subsequent rise to the presidency were statistical flukes given the conditions of his native country. In Peru, 48 percent of the population live below the poverty line. Eighteen percent live below the extreme poverty line.
Born into a poor Andean Indian family of 16 children, Toledo shined shoes as a boy to help support his family. A chance encounter with two Peace Corps volunteers led him to USF where he earned a partial soccer scholarship and also worked part-time pumping gas to pay for his schooling. He went on to earn two master's degrees and a doctorate from Stanford University.
As USF President Stephen A. Privett, S.J. said in introducing Toledo: "He is the Andean version of the mythical American dream."
During the five years of Toledo's presidency, the Peruvian economy grew at an average of 6 percent, one of the fastest growing economies in the Americas. Inflation fell to an average of 1.5 percent and the deficit went as low as 1.5 percent. Markets in China and Thailand opened and Toledo started free trade agreements with Chile, Mexico, and the United States.

Confidence earns national Blue Ribbon
Superintendent of Schools Chuck Hatfield proudly announced today that Confidence Elementary School has been named a National School of Excellence and will be awarded the Blue Ribbon at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., in November.
Confidence was one of 219 public schools nationwide to be named a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on Friday.
Confidence is being recognized for overall outstanding academic excellence and student achievement. Their students consistently lead the state in assessment scores and show no achievement gap between student subgroups.
"This award is well-deserved," states Superintendent Hatfield. "That Confidence is able to offer a world-class education in spite of the challenges [they faced in the old facility and with nearly 40% low SES rate] is proof that all students can achieve to high levels. It is the staff that makes the difference," he says.
Principal Colleen Huston is quick to share praise, "Confidence is a family," she says, "and every member contributes to our success."
Students and staff have much to celebrate this year. The Blue Ribbon designation will grace their new state-of-the-art facility that opened in August.

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University volleyball team, paced by senior Maria Scocca (Melrose, Mass.)'s eight kills and .667 attack percentage, earned its first Northeast Conference win in a commanding fashion Wednesday night, taking a 3-0 victory over Quinnipiac in the Bulldogs' 2011 home conference opener.
The win came on the back of an impressive 25-10 closing set, in which the Bulldogs (6-11, 1-2 NEC) took an 8-1 lead and never looked back, scoring in droves for the three-frame sweep after 25-20 and 25-16 victories in the opening two stanzas.
It was sophomore Alexandria Clyburn (Cartersville, Ga.) who paced Bryant on the kill, recording a match-best nine with an ace and a match-high two blocks on the night. Tanner Celestin's seven kills led the Bobcats (1-14, 0-2).
Freshman libero Elena Lohr (Loveland, Ohio) matched her career high with 21 digs in the affair, also dishing out an ace and an assist, while sophomore Kendall Gaffney (Colorado Springs, Colo.) picked up 12 digs to compliment eight kills on the evening.
Senior co-captain Jazmin Stoner (Durango, Colo.) chipped in eight kills and a block, while sophomore Leigh Fishback (Edmonds, Wash.) paced the contest with a trio of service aces and added another 11 assists. Jadith Lorenzo (Lawrence, Mass.) led the match with 19 helpers.
On the night, the Bulldogs outkilled their opponents, 41-24, and outblocked the Bobcats, 6-5. Quinnipiac libero Tracy Wright's 22 digs were a match best, while Krista Bennett added 18 more for the visitors.
The Black and Gold remain in Smithfield for a pair of weekend matches and will host Sacred Heart and St. Francis (NY) in Northeast Conference matchups at the Chace Athletic Center Saturday, Oct. 1 (1 p.m.) and Sunday, Oct. 2 (1 p.m.).

Creative Writing
In the Creative Writing Department, students study novels, short fiction, poems, drama, nonfiction and films. They discuss and analyze texts, then apply that knowledge to their own writing. Students write almost every day and are given exercises that encourage both imaginative and technically skilled work. During class and the more structured workshop sessions, they receive feedback from peers, instructors and visiting artists toward revision of their work. Grounded in the belief that the qualities of good writing remain consistent regardless of literary form, faculty teach all aspects of the curriculum. They also rotate instruction among all of the classes so that students have the benefit of receiving a variety of approaches, while instructors remain involved with all of the students in the department.
Audition Expectations: Because of the academic nature of the Creative Writing program, successful students usually have high reading scores on standardized tests (85 percent or above), high grade-point averages (3.0 or above), and demonstrate superior reading comprehension. As part of their application, auditioning students are expected to present an original work of creative writing (poem or short story), a list of books read over the past three months, a creative work (poem or short story) that describes what you see outside a window in your house, and an essay discussing a poem, short story or novel you read that influenced you as a writer. Students invited to audition must bring an additional writing portfolio consisting of 10 pages of original creative writing (poetry or short fiction).
Students currently in 8-11th grades are eligible to apply.Download the Full Guide

I found this really tasty and a great alternative to normal bread! The only mistake I made was to cook the above recipe for just the two of us and we got a little sick of it after day two! Would definitely advise to cook it for big family meal or for a large number to ensure it's eaten when really fresh.

Summerville has hired its first Events and Media Coordinator, Town officials said last week.
Tiffany Norton, of Summerville, has been selected to fill the new position and will begin work March 17, according to Town Director of Administrative Services Lisa Wallace.
The Events and Media Coordinator will be responsible for managing events and creating a public communication program, which will include developing social media, managing the website and serving as the point of contact for the news media.
As outlined in the job description, the position requires a bachelors degree in public relations or a related field and five or more years of related work experience at a managerial level.
Wallace said Norton has a background in marketing, website design and social media.
The Town received 134 applicants for the position, she said, and selected nine to interview. Each interviewee was scored on displayed skills in event planning, social media, marketing and public relations.
The starting salary range is $42,228 - $50,673, depending on qualifications, according to the job description. The Town has budgeted $75,000 for the position $50,000 in salary and $25,000 in benefits since the 2013 budget.
Mayor Bill Collins announced at the Town budget retreat in August 2013 he wanted to pursue filling the position this year. The idea was met with support then, and now.
Its a position weve needed for a long time, the mayor said. We are ready to put her to work!

He was protecting the 35 children at the Faraja Orphanage, which is run by his mother. Though he and the children survived the attack, they were terrified, knowing it would likely happen again.
TheLake posted the incident on Reddit, asking for $2000 to complete a cement and barbed wire wall around the orphanage. According to the posts, the orphanage had already been invaded twice during the week. On the night he was attacked, Omari was awakened by heavy footsteps. He grabbed the hammer he had stowed under his bed and threw it at the first one who entered his room. His aim was accurate, and the thieves fled. Three of them returned the next night and attacked Omari.
$65,000 in 24 hours
As soon as the story appeared on Reddit, donations began pouring in. The community responded with over $65,000 in 24 hours. The fence will be strong and high, and extra funds will increase security and buy the plot of land the home is on.
Reddit is the wild west of social media sites, a sprawling, no-frills site founded in 2005 by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman. AppAppeal calls it "a dated experience." Paul Goodman writes on his HubPages site, "The Reddit audience tends to be young and seeking a short burst of entertainment…" The Reddit Facebook page says its mission is "to help you waste time while you should be working — maybe even learn a thing or two."
Wherever anyone lands on the Reddit-review scale, there is no denying this incident shows the power of social media. That online community is scattered and diverse. With so many subreddits it is easy to get lost, but enough can rally around a cause to make a mighty difference.

The new Tempe-based 9th District would be a competitive race for both parties. While a host of locals on both sides are sure to take a long look at the contest, the Arizona Republic notes that one ideal candidate for Democrats could be former Democratic Rep. Harry Mitchell. His former chief of staff slyly tweeted on Monday, "Harry Mitchell for Congress? Don't rule it out folks." The map also shores up Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' Tucson district, which would be numbered the 2nd District. President Obama narrowly won this redrawn district, taking around 50 percent. Giffords, who's still recovering from near-fatal January assassination attempt, hasn't decided yet whether she'll run for reelection, but if she does, it's hard to imagine Republicans contesting the seat. But if she doesn't run or seeks higher office later, it could become competitive. Democratic Rep. Ed Pastor's newly-numbered 7th District would become the most Democratic in the state. And after a close race in 2010, Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva would see his now-3rd District also get slightly safer by picking up more Hispanic areas. Republican Trent Franks, who would be in the 8th District, is still in a solidly GOP seat. And while Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., is vacating his Mesa-based seat, now labeled the 5th District, to run for Senate. One of the several Republicans who have already lined up to replace him will be his all-but-certain successor.

New Clients
Prospective new clients are screened by clinic administrative personnel for an initial determination of whether the client meets the income, issue and amount in controversy guidelines as well as any obvious conflict of interest prior to being assigned to student attorneys. During the initial screening, an Intake Form is completed and a search of AMICUS is conducted to determine whether there is any potential conflict of interest. It there is no apparent conflict of interest, the prospective client is sent a Power of Attorney (POA) to sign and return and an Initial Contact Questionnaire to complete and return. The initial conflict is performed by utilizing the AMICUS tool under People – Action – Check Conflict. See the discussion of what further conflict inquiry you should make.
When the prospective client returns those documents, one of the clinic directors reviews the documents and assigns the case to a student attorney. In some instances, the case will be assigned to a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) for preliminary matters before the case is assigned to a student attorney.
A. Tax Assessment Matter
A GRA may send the taxpayer a letter confirming what information and documents the client should send in prior to assignment to a student attorney.
B. Collection Matters
A GRA may ask the taxpayer to file outstanding returns. If necessary, the GRA will print off the Wage and Income Information for the years for which a return was due and provide that to the client with a cover letter setting a due date for filing the returns and entering that date in the Task section of AMICUS and including the clinic directors and the administrative coordinator.
A GRA may mail the cover letter, a blank Form 433 and the OIC checklist to the taxpayer setting a due date entering that date in the Task section of AMICUS listing the clinic directors.
The GRAs are not expected to work all cases assigned to them, but limit their work on some cases to gathering the information and documents or ensuring that returns are filed. As part of their duties, the GRAs will file the POA before the case is assigned to a student attorney and within 3 days print off the Transcripts, Wage and Income information for each year at issue.
The GRAs will maintain these cases in a drawer designated in their office for ease of access. The GRAs will, as part of their duties each day, keep track of the status of the inquiry due dates for that day.
Once the information, documents or returns are received, the GRA will give the file to one of the clinic directors, with a note in AMICUS that all the information has been provided and the case is ready for assignment to a student attorney.
The Initial Telephone Call and In-Depth Client Interview
At the time a new case is assigned to a student attorney, an Intake Sheet that has been completed by Clinic personnel during the prospective client's first telephone call to the Clinic, a Power of Attorney, Form 2848 ("POA") executed by the prospective client, a copy of a Pacer and Accurint reports, and a completed Initial Contact Questionnaire will be given to the student attorney for the client. At that time the student attorney will execute and have the Clinic Directors execute the POA and fax it to the CAF Unit with the authorization forms (See 'Your First Week' sub-tab on website).
Approximately 3 days after submitting the POA to the CAF Unit the student attorney will be authorized to access and print information regarding the taxpayer from e-Services. As soon as possible print the Wage and Income information and Account Transcripts for all years at issue from e-Services. Next, make the initial telephone call to the Taxpayer, following the steps outlined the Initial Interview To-Do List. The initial telephone call should be made within 7 working days of assignment.
If the prospective client speaks Spanish only (hereinafter referred to as "Spanish Only"), his case file and Amicus file will be marked "Spanish Only," and the Initial Contact questionnaire will be bilingual. The Clinic's Administrative Coordinator provides Spanish translation services for these clients. Translation services are often used by practicing attorneys, and the effective use of such services is a skill we strive to develop in Clinic students. No part of the initial telephone call or in-depth interview shall be conducted in writing or by any means other than real-time oral translation with the student attorney present.
The student attorney should handle cases involving Spanish only clients in the same manner as English speaking clients, following the same case handling procedures on this website for New Clients and for Existing Clients. Student attorneys should prepare for and conduct the initial telephone call and in-depth interview in the same manner for Spanish only clients as for English speaking clients. The only difference is that the Clinic's Administrative Coordinator will provide real-time translation services in Spanish Only cases.
The student attorney will speak, then pause for the Administrative Coordinator to translate. After asking a question, then pausing for the translation, the client will answer in Spanish. The Administrative Coordinator will then translate the client's answer in English so that the student attorney can formulate his follow-up questioning. In every instance the Administrative Coordinator will translate as close to verbatim as possible, including any expressions of confusion on the part of the client, allowing the student attorney to formulate any response and explanation. The student attorney is wholly responsible for the formulation of all explanations, clarifications and follow up. The student attorney may not rely upon the Administrative Coordinator for anything other than verbatim oral translations.
The Initial Telephone Call
The main objectives of the initial telephone call are to introduce yourself and obtain information to determine whether the Clinic will accept or decline representation. During this conversation, you should also obtain information about the Taxpayer's federal income tax issue, financial status, and possible conflicts of interest. In connection with the latter inquire about whether both spouses signed the tax return and POA and only one wants representation prior to engagement by an interested party to the matter as a client. All questions of possible conflict of interest must be raised to the Clinic Director, Assistant or Associate Director prior to accepting any client. Refer to the Initial Telephone Call and In-Depth Interview To-Do List prior to and during your initial telephone call to the prospective client for particular items you should discuss. For a Spanish Only client, the student attorney should telephone the client with the Administrative Coordinator present at the student attorney's desk.
Do Not Promise Clinic Representation
Even if you feel the case is an appropriate one for the Clinic to handle, you should not promise representation. You must advise the Taxpayer that the telephone call does not mean the Clinic has agreed to accept the Taxpayer's case. The Clinic Director or Associate Director must review the case before that decision is made. You should advise the Taxpayer that you will call within ten days to advise whether her case is accepted.
Accepting or Declining a Taxpayer for Representation
The decision to accept or decline a client will always be made by the Director or Associate Director. You should obtain sufficient information to make a recommendation as early in the process as possible. Frequently, you should obtain enough information through the initial phone call with the client to make this determination. This is particularly true where the Taxpayer's case is found to be an inappropriate one for the Clinic to handle.
Make a Recommendation
If you feel you have enough information to make a recommendation to accept a client, then you should prepare a Recommendation Memo for the Associate Director immediately after the initial telephone call. This memo should include a brief summary of the facts of the case, the action already taken by the IRS and the Taxpayer, the issues that will be addressed, the amount in controversy, information as to the financial status of the taxpayer and any possible conflict of interest. Be sure to review and utilize the Taxpayer Eligibility Guidelines in making your recommendation. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Associate Director receives and acts on the recommendation promptly. Try to limit your recommendation memo to one page. A paper copy should be included in the Taxpayer's file and also saved on the "i" or "T" drive, which is linked to the Taxpayer's Amicus file. (This is the procedure you are to follow with all documents you prepare).
Defer Recommendation
If you do not feel you have enough information to make a recommendation after the initial phone call, then you may defer making the recommendation until after you have had the in-depth interview and had the opportunity to review the Taxpayer's documents. You should prepare your recommendation immediately after the in-depth interview, but you should never make a recommendation to accept a case on inadequate information. If you are unable to obtain sufficient information on which to make an informed decision, you should probably recommend that the Clinic decline the case. Discuss this with the Clinic Director, Associate Director or Supervising Attorney.
Services Offered: Engagement Letter
If the case is accepted, mail to the Taxpayer an Engagement Letter for his signature, along with an extra copy to keep for his records. Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope so that the Taxpayer may easily return the signed letter to the Clinic
Services Declined
If a case is declined, you should send the Taxpayer a Letter of Declination within 24 hours of being notified of the decision to decline. If the case involves a statutory notice, the declination letter and any supporting documents received from the Taxpayer should be returned to the taxpayer by United Parcel Service (UPS) or certified mail. Furthermore, you should complete a Case Closing Form and place the file along with that form in the Associate Director's tray for his review and approval.
The In-Depth Client Interview
One of your main objectives during the in-depth interview is to motivate your client to participate in all aspects of the case. Please refer to the Initial Telephone Call and In-Depth Interview To-Do List for particular matters you should address. Following is a more thorough discussion of those issues and the manner in which you should conduct the in-depth interview.
For Spanish Only clients, the student attorney will confirm the availability of the Administrative Coordinator and include her in the scheduling of the meeting. The Administrative Coordinator will attend the meetings with the student attorney and Spanish Only clients, providing verbatim translation services. The student attorney is wholly responsible for conducting and leading the interview of Spanish Only clients, pausing to allow the Administrative Coordinator to translate. All components of the in-depth interview as outlined on this website should be part of a Spanish Only interview, including the development of rapport and allays of fears.
Be on Time for the Interview and Dress Appropriately
Prepare to arrive for the interview at least 15 minutes prior to its start time to ensure you are not late. Wear professional attire at this interview and any other meetings with potential clients or any representative of the IRS. If the Taxpayer is late for the appointment, it is the policy of the Clinic for you to wait for thirty minutes before giving up on his appearance.
If the Taxpayer does not appear for the interview, then you should try to contact him immediately by phone or by mail if he cannot be reached by phone. If the Taxpayer does not respond within ten days after mailing a letter, the student may assume that the Taxpayer does not wish to participate in the Clinic. After consulting the Director, Associate Director or Supervising Attorney, a closing memo should be drafted and a Case Closing Letter sent to the Taxpayer.
Develop Rapport and Allay Fears
You should begin the in-depth interview by describing what the Clinic is and what your role is. Do not begin an interview with questions. Effective client interviewing is one of the important skills that any attorney must develop. A good rapport with the client must exist if the attorney expects to acquire all the information needed to adequately represent the client and to have the client's trust. A client who is afraid, intimidated or distrustful could impede representation. It is the student attorney's responsibility to ensure that the client feels as comfortable as possible during the interview. The student attorney must assuage concerns and dispel any distrust the client may have.
Most people are uncomfortable revealing private matters to someone they do not know. This may be especially true for clients who are eligible for this program. They may be embarrassed by their financial circumstances and by the problems they are having with the IRS. Individuals with such limited resources frequently feel powerless to defend themselves against so formidable an adversary as the IRS.
It is very important that you are sensitive to fears and anxieties of our clients. You must make it clear during the initial interview that the Clinic is not part of the IRS. You also must not only be concerned for your client, but must make every effort to show your concern. At the outset of the interview, you should be dressed appropriately, initiate a personal conversation with the client, establishing something you have in common or showing particular interest in something about the client. This can be an effective way of gaining the client's trust and dispelling his fears.
You must also gain the client's confidence in your ability to provide assistance. You must always remember that even if you do not know at first how to handle a situation, the Clinic has resources available to you. However, tax advice should not be given at the initial interview. You should never be embarrassed about lack of knowledge related to a particular issue. Even tax experts do not apologize for saying: "I will research it for you." Most people are aware that the tax law is in a constant state of flux and are understanding of the need to research a particular issue.
No Leading Questions
You are to conduct the interview in a question and answer style that requires a narrative response. Ask open-ended questions. Do not ask leading questions that first inform taxpayers what the law is and then ask them whether they comply with the law. Taxpayers should not be tempted to construct their response to fit the applicable law.
Obtain All Needed Documents
Taxpayers may fail to bring all the requested information, and it is not uncommon for the interview to reveal additional needed documents. If either of these situations occurs, you should conduct as much of the interview as possible without the information. You should also give the Taxpayer one of the Student Attorney Clinic business cards and a self-addressed envelope for the Taxpayer to mail copies of the needed documents to the Clinic. You should review all of the documents that the Taxpayer has brought or mailed in and make copies of them before returning them to the Taxpayer. Remember to copy both sides of the documents.
Obtain Accurate Client Information
To avoid mistakes in recording important client information such as name, address, telephone number and social security number, students should verify the information in the Initial Contact Questionnaire with the Taxpayer. If the information was recorded in an initial contact by telephone, ensure that you have the client review any previously recorded information in the initial interview and have the client verify the information by initialing the correct entries, or by correcting any inaccuracies and initialing the corrections. Be sensitive to the possibility that the Taxpayer may be illiterate.
It is imperative during the initial interview that you determine whether the Taxpayer has filed a bankruptcy petition (under chapter 7, 11 or 13), and if so, a copy of the bankruptcy petition or discharge should be obtained. Once a bankruptcy petition has been filed, there is an automatic stay imposed under Bankruptcy Code §362 that prohibits any action to enforce the collection of a debt and that prohibits taking any steps that would affect the bankruptcy estate without permission of the Bankruptcy Court. The automatic stay precludes the commencement or continuation of a case docketed in Tax Court. Moreover, actions taken by the IRS in violation of the automatic stay are void. Further, if the stay is willfully violated, punitive sanctions may be imposed or equitable relief in the form of an injunction or declaratory judgment may be granted.
There are also statute of limitation implications and other consequences that result from filing a bankruptcy petition. Filing a bankruptcy petition stops (tolls) the running of the statute of limitation for assessment and collection of tax. Assessment is suspended while the automatic stay is in effect and for a 60-day period after the stay terminates. The period during which the IRS can collect a non-dischargeable tax liability is suspended while the stay is in effect and six months after the stay is lifted.
Because of the foregoing issues and other tax consequences of filing bankruptcy, you must determine if the taxpayer filed bankruptcy and must determine whether the automatic stay is in effect. Above all, you must bring this matter to the attention of the Clinic Director, Associate Director or Supervising Attorney as soon as possible.
Marital Status
You must also ascertain during the interview whether the Taxpayer was legally married at the end of the tax year in question. The Taxpayer's marital status has a bearing on filing status, personal exemptions and earned income credit. You also must ascertain whether the Taxpayer was estranged or legally separated or divorced from his spouse. Consult Code § 7703 for the meaning of "marital status" for federal income tax purposes.
Fact Verification
Gathering accurate facts is one of the most important duties of a lawyer. The initial interview is merely the first step in the fact gathering process. You must carefully verify the information provided during the interview before relying on it to prepare documents or correspondence to the IRS and other third parties.
Taxpayer's Tax History
After the Taxpayer has explained his current tax controversy during the initial interview, you must thoroughly review the Tax History section of the Initial Contact Questionnaire completed by the Taxpayer. This form is to be retained in the Taxpayer's file and it is an important source of information on which you future actions will rely. You need to be aware of the Taxpayer's previous tax disputes or of his failure to file tax returns. You do not want to hear about a year in controversy for the first time from an IRS representative. You need to have the total tax picture of a client before you begin negotiating on behalf of the client. An IRS representative may raise an issue or a matter relating to a different tax year during a conference, and you will want to be as knowledgeable as possible. If the submission of an Offer in Compromise is a possibility, you must always submit an offer that encompasses all of the client's tax deficiencies.
Before reviewing and asking questions concerning the Taxpayer's Tax History, remind him that the Clinic is independent of the IRS and that the information he or she gives will be used to advance his or her case or otherwise to remain confidential. Explain, however, that you can be effective as his tax representative only if you know what the taxpayer has previously done or failed to do as it pertains to federal income taxes. You need to impress upon the Taxpayer that, as his representative, you can help resolve the tax dispute only if you are thoroughly informed. Include the Taxpayer's explanations next to the answers on the Tax History section of the Initial Contact Questionnaire. What the Taxpayer tells you should be compared with the information you obtain from the IRS e-Service system.
Ensure that information concerning whether the client has filed a bankruptcy petition within the last five years appears in the correct space in the Tax History.
