Voters change hiring of Harpswell treasurer
HARPSWELL — Town treasurer will become an appointed position next year after the town's only referendum question narrowly passed with 53 percent of the vote, 1,760 to 1,534.
"I'm glad they saw the advantage of an appointed town treasurer" for the management of town finances, Selectman Jim Henderson said Wednesday.
The referendum question asked voters if they wanted to change hiring of the treasurer, which has traditionally been an election position, to one appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
Henderson said passage would protect the town from electing an under-qualified candidate. Current state law only requires an elected treasurer to be 18 years old, a Maine resident and a U.S. citizen.
"When considering someone to be responsible for more than $15 million, including the town's budget and borrowings and the Harpswell share of both the county and (school) budgets, the state requirements are just totally inadequate,"the Board of Selectmen's rationale for supporting the measure said. "Having an appointed treasurer will allow the town to establish qualifications for the position when it becomes vacant. It will permit the town to check references and to take all the normal steps that any prudent business operator would take in an effort to assure the employment of someone equal to the task."
Some residents still asked why a major constitutional change like this wasn't held for discussion until the annual Town Meeting next March.
"I think what's wrong with doing it, in this vote at this time, is that it goes before the largest electorate the town has at the time of the presidential election," former Selectman Gordon Weil told selectmen last month. "A vast majority of those people voting, I daresay and from experience, don't follow town affairs closely."
Weil said he was concerned about how independent the treasurer would remain, about the legal conditions for the treasurer's removal from office, and how the change would impact the town budget.
The treasurer's responsibilities would remain the same when it becomes an appointed position, the town responded in bulletin, although some of the logistics will be determined by Town Meeting.
"We will have a proposal that will accommodate issues of pay and so forth at the Town Meeting," Henderson said.

The 24-year-old was named in Roy Hodgson's squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Chile and Germany along with Saints team-mates Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert.
Rodriguez admitted he was stunned when told the news by Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino at the club's training ground on Thursday morning.
"Words can't describe it - I'm obviously still shocked," Rodriguez told the Southampton website. "It's a bit surreal.
"It's a dream come true, really. I couldn't believe it when I was told, and I haven't stopped smiling all day.
"It's been important for me to concentrate on my football and improving as a player, and hopefully this will improve me massively.
"I've been focused on my club games and my performances there, so I had to keep my feet on the ground and keep working on that. Now I just can't wait to get among the lads and be a part of it."
Lambert made his England debut in August and will be bidding for his fifth cap against Chile next week, while Lallana has yet to feature although he was on the bench for the clash with Ukraine last year.
"It's unbelievable for the club," Rodriguez added. "It just shows the direction we're going in and the ambition and vision we've got.
"We have so many international players now, so it's a really good place to be and a good thing to be part of.
"It's always nice if you know someone there, but Rickie has said before that the lads make you welcome there. It's something to look forward to and I'm just excited to get started.
"The most important thing at the moment is the game on Saturday, so we've got to keep our heads on for that and keep concentrating - but this is a dream come true, so you obviously can't help thinking about that.
"It's a really good feeling, but I still feel I've got a lot to improve on in my game - and that's what I want to do.
"I'll keep my head down, work hard and I'll keep taking on these challenges."

I normally don't write negative reviews (I just avoid going back) but hopefully someone in management will read this. I decided to give L'Artusi a second chance after my last over-salted dinner because a friend was dying to try it. Last night, our two pasta dishes and chicken dish were unbearably salty. Octopus dish and olive oil cake and the service (amazing bartender/server) made up for it but the someone in the kitchen had a HEAVY hand of salt with the other dishes.

Food at this place was very good...pastas were fresh and tasty, wine list extensive but pricey...service was ver poor...waiter was rude, and inattentive...would try again, but not for another few months.

My boyfriend Monty and I wanted to hit a few jazz clubs in the village, and were looking for a good restaurant in the area. The menu outside looked reasonable and had a wonderful selection. However, it did not indicate the portions were miniature size. How could they possibly justify charging $18.00 for three tablespoons of pasta?! The tuna was delicious and approximately two ounces in size. Even if you spend well over $100 as we did, you will go away hungry. Very overpriced and disappointing.
Posted by eastsider on 01/01/2010
one of the very best meals i have ever had!! great food, service and atmosphere. YOU MUST GO!!
Posted by hitherehello on 06/20/2009
Went to L'Artusi tonight with my family. The atmosphere of the place was great, very warm. In the beginning the waitress seemed knowledgeable and friendly, but she suggested we order 3-4 plates per person. At around $15-18 a pop, that is a bit crazy for what it was. We ordered 2 main things each and shared cheese and other small plates. All of the food, with the exception of the veal, was spectacular. Fresh, nicely prepared and presented well. My main gripe: the waitress. First she was angry we didn't order 4 plates per person and then who knows what was bothering her, because she kept talking about us and other diners in plain sight. She was outright rude and unpleasant at the end. My advice would be to try L'Artusi and cross your fingers that this waitress doesn't serve you...

I've heard so much about this restaurant so decided to give it a try and couldn't be happier that I did. Two of us went on a Sunday night and the restaurant was cute, had great service and excellent food. My bf started off with the Salumi platter which was delicious and I started off with the endive salad which was a large portion, fresh and refreshing. I had the branzino which was simply prepared as noted on the menu and very good and my bf had both the tagliatelle and pasta with white ragu which were both fantastic. We had a side of the sunchokes which you absolutely MUST get. We'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
Posted by Mrs. Foodie on 01/26/2009
I had heard so much about this place, so I went there with high expectations. The food was good, but everything was way too salty. One item that did stand out on the positive side was the octopus appetizer, which I highly recommend. Other reviewers said this place had a great atmosphere, but I can't say that I would agree. Very dull and un-impressive appearance. Seating was also a quite cramped. We were opposite the bar, about five inches away from the table next to us. Cautious note on the "affordable" prices: they are small plates. So you might think, hey $18 for an "entree" isn't too bad. Our bill for two people, including wine and tip, was a little over $200. The good: great wine selection, very attentive and friendly wait staff and bus boys, and some delicious appetizers (notably the octopus). The bad: food was too salty.

Don't sell off water reserves
We are in a drought. Facing water restrictions because of low reserves.
Then a city water department person comes up with an idea to sell water to someone. He says this will be a moneymaker for city.
Well, guess what, we are buying water from Lake Texana, and are planning to buy more from somewhere else. So let's see, buy water we need for our citizens that we foot the increasing bills for, and then turn around and sell it to someone somewhere else.
Does this make sense to anyone? If we need it we should have it for us only, and not for sale. We will not have increased reserves until we have a storm and a lot of rainfall.
Desalt, desalt, desalt.

Gar story didn't deserve hate mail
It appears that David Sikes received a "fair amount of hate mail and dissent" on his recent Sunday article on a monster gar catch at Lake Corpus Christi.
Gar fish, locally called alligator gar, are heavily armored fish with a long snout filled with sharp teeth. They are voracious predators that feed on smaller fish and crabs.
Mr. Crawford, a resident of the lake, took the beast out with a well placed arrow. If I remember correctly the gar was eight feet long and it took a forklift to hang it up for a photo. After the photo, the fish was filleted and the meat was shared by friends and family.
I would rather see a fish like this taken out of the food chain; it was a monster. How many game and forage fish was this beast eating every day? My guess is a bunch!
Did David and Mr. Crawford deserve hate mail for sharing his experience of catching such a large fish. NO! It was a great story and I enjoyed it very much.
I have been a fan of David's outdoors columns for years and if anything, he should be recognized for his positive contributions to the fish and game management programs of the Coastal Bend.
As far as Mr. Crawford is concerned, I am sure all the nice cute little fish in the lake are grateful for him taking out this dinosaur fish from the past — nice shot, sir!

Neglect is the word
Driving down SPID every other day can be depressing! Not only is the road condition appalling but the medians are so neglected they really show how little this city cares about maintenance.
Where is the beautification committee? What are they doing? What projects are the garden clubs working on?
If the city cares enough to plant these areas why can't they be maintained?
Grasses are high, palms are half dead, trash is blowing in the breeze. What a terrific sight!
Spending millions to redo Shoreline Boulevard is a joke. No money to fix roads or keep medians from complete neglect is so obvious. How can they maintain Ocean Drive parks and all the paraphernalia they propose? What eyesores will all the lovely new homes along the shore be subjected to?
Parts of downtown are rife with abandoned properties which resemble a slum.
Where is the pride of ownership? Visitors have very few areas to please the eye. The city should be ashamed of all the neglect.
Corpus Christi should be a little paradise. If only the council and city fathers would take their thumbs out of their noses and promote major beautification. For shame!
Ava Eller
Thank you for help and support
On behalf of my mother and all the residents of Coastal Haven Senior Citizens apartment complex, I wish to thank everyone who donated clothing and household supplies to help recover from their devastating fire.
Your generosity was very much appreciated!

Braves righthander Tim Hudson and Rangers DH Vladimir Guerrero are Sporting News' 2010 comeback players of the year, as selected by a panel of 326 Major League Baseball players.
In his first full season since Tommy John surgery, Hudson went 17-9 with a 2.83 ERA in 34 starts for Atlanta this season. After going 2-1 with a 3.61 ERA in seven starts last September and October, Hudson signed a three-year, $28 million extension with a $9 million team option for 2013 this offseason.
"My confidence was primarily based on knowing Tim's makeup, how dedicated to coming back he was," Braves general manager Frank Wren told Sporting News about the decision to ink Hudson to an extension. "Seeing him return to pitching in September last year, we felt that as he progressed and got (further) from the Tommy John surgery, he was only going to be that much better. And what we've seen this year is the old Tim Hudson. He's bounced back to become one of the best starters in the National League."
Guerrero, coming off the worst statistical season (15 homers, 50 RBIs) of his career in 2009, bounced back to hit .300 with 29 homers and 115 RBIs this season. This past offseason, he signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with a $9 million mutual option for 2011 to play for the Rangers.
"Our scouts felt a big part of the reason his numbers were down a little last year were injuries When we met with him in January, it was obvious he'd been working hard on his body," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels told Sporting News. "You kind of got the sense that he knew some people were doubting him. I don't want to say that he needed that to motivate him -- he's been a self-motivated guy all his career -- but from our perspective it certainly didn't hurt. We felt he was healthy, and we felt he might have a little bit of additional motivation. ... (Manager) Ron Washington was really instrumental in selling Vlad on the club and the opportunity. "

Grey's Anatomy
Can Babies Develop Outside the Uterus IRL (as Seen on Grey's Anatomy)?
Can a baby really come to term outside the uterus? Yes, as Grey's medical consultant Meg Marinis attests. Lebo had an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when the movement of the egg along the fallopian tube is disrupted for some reason and the egg begins to develop in the ovary, cervix, or stomach area. Abdominal pregnancies such as Lebo's can be hard to diagnose without an MRI, and the baby rarely survives to term. If the pregnancy should rupture, like Lebo's did, the mother could suffer from severe bleeding and hemorrhagic shock, and surgery is necessitated.
Now, what about the man with the tree growing inside his lung? That's based on a true story: a 28-year-old Russian man had a two-inch fir tree surgically removed from his lung. There has since been a flurry of academic skepticism about how such a tree could grow without soil and sunlight, but others argue that a tree at that size could not be inhaled into the lung. In any case, it's pretty freaky. And it's almost too bad "I Am a Tree" was already the name of a Grey's episode.

By: M.L. JOHNSON, Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) - U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is leading a fight against proposed cuts to Medicare reimbursements for rural hospitals, including Essentia Health St. Mary's Hospital Superior, that she says will reduce access to health care and weaken rural economies across the nation.
The Wisconsin Democrat and 19 other senators sent a letter dated Thursday to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus and Sen. Orrin Hatch, the ranking member on the committee, protesting changes to how Medicare classifies and pays critical access hospitals, or CAHs. The facilities provide services in rural areas that have few other health care options and generally receive higher Medicare reimbursements.
Baldwin discussed the issue with hospital officials during a visit to Superior Thursday. "We need to make sure that health care -- high quality, affordable health care -- is available to all Americans, that means even in areas where rural access is important," she said.
President Barack Obama's administration has proposed removing the CAH designation for any hospital within 10 miles of another and reducing the rate of reimbursement from 101 percent to 100 percent of reasonable costs in the 2014 fiscal year budget. The Office of Management and Budget estimates that would save more than $2 billion over 10 years, with some $690 million of that coming from eliminating the CAH designation for hospitals that are close to others.
Baldwin's office says at least eight hospitals in Wisconsin and 71 nationwide would lose CAH status under those changes.
"If enacted, these policies would compromise access to health care and weaken rural economies in Wisconsin and across the country. I fear that these proposals could even force many rural Wisconsin hospitals to shut their doors - causing a ripple effect on our economy and leaving many without access to care," Baldwin said in a statement Friday.
There are more than 1,300 CAHs in the United States, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General. They provide care to about 2.3 million Medicare beneficiaries in 2011 at a cost of about $8.5 billion.
Hospital groups, including the National Rural Health Association, note this represents only about 5 percent of the Medicare hospital budget and the agency spends less per patient in rural areas than urban ones.
Obama's plan would affect CAHs that have been deemed necessary providers. CAHs must be in rural areas and more than 35 miles from the nearest hospital, or more than a 15-mile drive in mountainous terrain. Before Jan. 1, 2006, states could exempt hospitals from the distance requirement by designating them as necessary providers. Most states did this with hospitals in areas with few health care providers or high unemployment or poverty rates.
Baldwin also expressed concern about an Office of the Inspector General report last week that would go even further than the president's plan.
Medicare generally has verified that hospitals meet the CAH distance requirement when they enroll, but not after. If it did, about 850 of the more than 1,300 CAHs would no longer qualify for that designation, the report said. It estimated Medicare would have saved an average of about $860,000 per decertified CAH in 2011.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association has said such a change would affect 53 of the 58 CAHs in Wisconsin and could lead to many rural hospitals closing.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Records Management Unit
Information Awareness Month 2012
The Australian Society of Archivists is running a free seminar in Hobart on the 23rd of May as part of Information Awareness Month for 2012. The seminar will include two speeches discussing information risk management and the use of social media in the workplace.
Information Awareness Month (IAM) is a collaborative event between various bodies within the records, archives, library and information management community. The theme for 2012 is Information on Demand: 'a theme that covers a wide range of topics, such as social media in the workplace, information risk management and the expansion of working in the cloud'. For more information, see the Information Awareness Month website.
Ms Allegra Huxtable, the manager of government recordkeeping at the Tasmanian Archive & Heritage Office, will give a presentation on the 'Information Challenges of Social Media', discussing the benefits and risks resulting from the significant uptake and innovative functionality of social media and some strategies for addressing these risks.
Dr Jill Abell, the Director Information Services at the Hutchins School, will talk about 'Building Resilience in Information Risk Management through Business Continuity Planning', a case study of The Hutchins School IT team's development and implementation of a Disaster Recovery Plan.
The seminar will be held from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm on Wednesday the 23rd of May, 2012, in the Elizabeth Street Conference Room (behind the Town Hall, entrance off Elizabeth St, through the car park). Attendance is free and afternoon tea is provided. RSVP to Nicki Ottavi on (03) 6214 4894 by the 16th of May.

When Illinois Democrats nominated Tony Rezko's banker, Alexi Giannoulias, for the senate seat once held by Barack Obama, some thought they might have made a mistake. It seems to have, at the very least, complicated the Democrats' efforts to hold what in normal years would be a safe Blue seat. The Chicago Tribune reports:
The clock is ticking, and the real estate deals gone south are piling up, at Broadway Bank, the lending institution owned by the family of U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias. . . . Broadway's struggles have put Giannoulias on the defensive as Republicans eyeing Barack Obama's old Senate seat question what role he played in the bank's problems. Giannoulias, a friend of Obama's who is facing U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk, the GOP nominee, in the November race, has repeatedly said he hasn't worked at the bank in four years.
Still, the situation could become more politically harmful and provide more ammunition for the GOP if the family-owned bank is taken over by the federal government before Election Day.
Broadway's chief executive, Demetris Giannoulias, Alexi Giannoulias' older brother, told the Tribune the family must raise at least $85 million by the end of April to stave off government seizure.
Giannoulias has already taken heat for the banks' mob-connected clients. And the Tribune reminds voters:
Since 2007, Broadway Bank has filed dozens of foreclosures on various properties, including several to Michael Giorango, a convicted bookmaker and prostitution ring promoter who has become a political albatross in Alexi Giannoulias' campaigns.During Alexi Giannoulias' tenure at Broadway, the bank approved loans to Giorango for various real estate deals. Alexi Giannoulias has acknowledged he serviced some Giorango loans and went to Miami to inspect Giorango property the bank financed.
If the themes for many Republicans are going to be "the culture of corruption" and the Democrats' fiscal mismanagement, they must be licking their chops over this race. At the very least, Democrats will have to spend considerable time and money defending the seat, in a year in which they'd probably not have Giannoulias as one of the poster boys for what's wrong with the Democratic machine-style politics.

Help with Windows 7 and Bootcamp
Hi guys, so I think I just made my macbook useless
I switched to mac like...2 months ago and I was very happy and stuff, but I wanted to run some applications (like FL studio) that mac doesnt support.
I took my copy of windows 7 and started the bootcamp assistant.
Now the real problem. After selecting my partition, lenguage, etc a window appeared that said:
Copying Windows Files
Expanding Windows Files
Installing stuff
Stuff *final step*
When it reached the final step it said "Setup will continue after restart". But after restart nothing happened...I get a black screen for hours and nothing else happens. Now...my windows cd still there and I cant find the way to restart and go to mac. Everytime I restart a white screen appears and then a black screen appears and nothing else.
what to do? Is there something like a manual cd ejection? Or I am plain screwed?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
(Sorry for my grammar-bad english)
EDIT: And yes, I just read that "Bootcamp (save yourself hours....)" thread and yes, I totally deserve this.
You could hold the D key when it boots up to boot from the internal drive to see what happens.
There should be an eject button on your keyboard but if it does not eject I think you can hold down the mouse button and it will work.
Ok I managed to install windows but now everytime I start my macbook windows starts...what to do? I have been told to hold tab key but that doesnt seem to work.
If you hold down "Option" when powering on, it should opt for which partition (OS X or Windows) to boot from.
In Windows the Boot Camp control panel applet can control the default OS, and OS X has a similar utility.

MMA News
Nevada Secretary Of State Retires From MMA With Unblemished Record | MMA NEWS
There goes that dream division matchup between Jon "Bones" Jones, the face of the UFC, and Miller, 1-0.
"I'm one and done," Miller said. "Competing in an MMA event was on my bucket list. Now that I've got it done, I've got a day job and an important election coming up." The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Miller won his MMA debut/swan song, one of 10 amateur fights Saturday held by the World Fighting Championship (WFC) at the Montbleu Theater in South Lake Tahoe.
Miller's fight, the co-main event, was with Jamal Williams, a former high school wrestler and brawler. Miller's walkout music was "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, a reference to his father, former Nevada Gov. Bob Miller. Reno Police Chief Steve Pitts, who often trains with Miller, walked the secretary of state into the octagon.
The fight was stopped in the second round after Miller delivered a body kick and a hard right hand that dropped Williams. The ref called it with Miller in ground-and-pound mode. Miller got the promoter's word that Miller's appearance would not be promoted to avoid a media circus.
Miller's cornermen and a fan section were all wearing T-shirts that read: "My secretary of state can armbar your secretary of state."
A former McDonald's All-American basketball nominee for Nevada while at Bishop Gorman, Miller got into MMA and has been working out in the basement gym of UFC headquarters with some fighters and trainers. It became a passion and it explains why he recently showed up in public with a black eye.
"I got a broken nose in training and, yes, a black eye," Miller said during a phone interview from Reno on his way to seeing "ParaNorman" with his daughters Cameron, 6, and Geneva, 4. Overhearing her father's conversation, Cameron said, "Daddy, you get a black eye a lot."
He's switching from an MMA octagon to becoming a referee in the often-nasty infighting of politics. As secretary of state, he's Nevada's chief election officer. He'll have his hands full with what's shaping up as a rough campaign season. Miller said MMA "requires incredible mental strength and resilience and that's what I love most about it. Your mind will try to give you a million reasons to quit but you've got to push through."

who cares? lol gud for him now go suck corporate ding dong
Which corporation would he be sucking off exactly? Don't you think its good for MMA that there are people who have careers such as this man does, who are pro MMA? You sound jealous of him.
This article is obviously posted to show ignorant people that MMA is not as barbaric as it used to be.
I have a very good friend who used to train with me who fought twice in one night and won his first fight by sub and lost his second by Dec.
He went on to teach math, is working on his phd and is at the moment making 6 figures being a financial advisor.
This is a sport for everyone. Why be disparaging towards people who take interest in it.
Obviously you care, you took the time to read the article and comment on it
Miller who? great article,…..
Best record in MMA!
It doesnt even mention the guys name. Great journalism.

ExOfficio Quick-Dry Boxer Briefs 87 87
Worth the cost I got these for my husband for a trip he liked them so much that they are the only ones he wears now. We live in Florida now and they are wounderful on the hot humid days. They are a little expensive but they do hold up well and the comfort is worth it. May 6, 2015
Traveling essential Had them before will buy them again. Easy to wash dry and wear. No odor and they last forever. Worth their price. April 17, 2015
Travel wardrobe Light weight and easy to clean. Just rinse with soapy water, rinse with clean water, squeeze out excess water. Roll in a bath or face towel and walk on towel to absorb moisture. Hang on towel bar and you are ready for the next day. Very comfortable. March 19, 2015
great product My husband questioned the price for just one pair of boxer briefs, until he tried wearing them before an upcoming trip. He likes them so well, he is considering purchasing more and wearing them for everyday use when we return. They really do dry in a short period of time. August 11, 2012
excellent excellent product; purchased and pleased for years March 25, 2015
Less space For the long trips and minimal luggage space it is always nice to have quick drying washable briefs. You hardly know you have them on. March 18, 2015
This is the only underwear that I use.It is the best. March 11, 2015
I finally found my favorite underwear product. These are the best underwear I've ever found. Comfortable, functional, moisture wicking, light, breathable, and just plain great. Alright... Maybe they're a bit expensive, but to me: totally worth it. I doubt I'll ever buy another kind of boxer briefs. I'm a distance runner and traveller, and I was delighted to find they are even good for running! Just couldn't be happier. Wash em in the sink and go! Bought the V-neck shirt as well... Just ordered my second set. VIVA EX-OFFICIO! (And yes, that was the most resounding positive review I could muster. And no - they didn't pay me.) July 16, 2010

text: Sure, you've got options when it comes to keeping track of your meandering canine, but Mel Barker of the Norwich prison is turning the tables on who gets called master. Aside from the ridiculous amount of gadget theft (and subsequent injuries) already occurring in the UK, the smuggling of cellphones behind closed bars is apparently quite an epidemic. With transport vehicles ranging from hollowed out cheese wheels to underhanded cops, Barker resorted to training a 15-month old English Springer Spaniel (Murphy) to hunt down illicit mobiles before the wrong (or right, depending on perspective) people received an unexpected call. The pup has his work cut out for him, however, as over 60 phones have been confiscated from prisoners during the past year, and the demand is presumably still on the rise -- but considering his uncanny ability to detect "scents unique to mobile phones," we're sure Murphy will have it all sniffed out real soon.[Via Textually]

UDC is Site of 'Mail Escape' Performance
Artist Wilmer Wilson IV presented the first in a series of performances reenacting Henry "Box" Brown's successful escape from slavery. Brown, a 19th-century Virginia slave, encased himself in a wooden crate and arranged to have himself mailed to abolitionists in Philadelphia in 1849.
Wilson's performance consists of the artist affixing postage stamps to his entire body. He then walks to a local post office and asks to have himself mailed to freedom. He then returns to the performance site and removes the postage stamps.
Commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities as part of the 5X5 Temporary Public Art Initiative, Wilson's performance will next appear at the Lincoln Theater (1215 U St., NW) on April 9th then at the Old Post Office Pavilion (1100 Pennsylvania Ave, NW) on April 13th.

They kick off on Tuesday, April 4, with the opening of the Clothesline Project, a visual display of T-shirts created by local residents — women, children and men — who've been affected by violence, and concludes with a presentation about manhood and violence against women.
TTU's Clothesline Project, patterned after the National Clothesline Project which began in 1990, will be exhibited in the Tech Pride Room of the Roaden University Center from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4.
"An area will be set up at the back of the room for individuals who are moved by the display to make their own shirts telling their personal stories of violence," said Gretta Stanger, director of TTU's Women's Center. "Already, we have more than 200 shirts — it's literally a maze of shirts when the display is complete — and our collection grows each year."
TTU's Clothesline Project began about seven years ago, and when the display is exhibited each year, offers are often made to purchase one or more of the shirts, Stanger said.
"These are individual creations in a continuing collection, however, so none of the shirts are for sale — but whenever anyone asks, I know that something depicted by the display has moved that person on a very personal level," she said.
The shirts are coded into five color categories: white, for women who've died from violence; yellow or beige, for women who have been battered or assaulted; red, pink or orange, for women who've been raped or sexually assaulted; blue or green, for women survivors of incest or child sexual abuse; and purple or lavender, for women attack because of their sexual orientation.
According to statistics from the National Victims Center, one out of every two women will be in a violent relationship at some point in their lives.
But Sexual Assault Awareness Month isn't just for women, and a TTU discussion by Jackson Katz, one of America's leading anti-sexist activists, will present it from a male perspective.
His presentation, titled "More than a Few Good Men: A Lecture on American Manhood and Violence Against Women," is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4, in Derryberry Hall Auditorium and is a Center Stage event.
In 1993, Katz founded the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program at Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. It's the first large-scale attempt to enlist high school, collegiate and professional athletes to take a stand against rape and all other forms of men's violence against women.
He is also the creator of several award-winning educational videos for college and high school students, and his expertise has led him to appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America and other national television programs.
TTU's Sexual Assault Awareness Month events culminate with the "Take Back the Night" rally, march and candlelight vigil beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, April 17, from the front steps of the Roaden University Center.
To present this event, TTU's Women's Center joins with the Tech Ladies Coalition, the Commission on the Status of Women and Lori Maxwell's gender and politics class.
A worldwide community action initiative to end domestic and sexual violence and abuse, "Take Back the Night" efforts provide an organized platform for communities to proclaim their refusal to tolerate continued violence and abuse and promotes healing for survivors.
The keynote speaker of this year's "Take Back the Night" will be Vali Forrister, director of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center's Communication and Outreach Center and co-founder of Nashville's Actors Bridge Ensemble, a theater company devoted to social justice.
Forrister's talk will kick off the event at 7:30 p.m. on the front steps of the RUC.
All events are free and open to the public. For more information about TTU's Sexual Assault Awareness Month events, call the university Women's Center at 931/372-3850.

Employee Resources: U-M Student Temporary Employment - Ann Arbor Campus
Step One: Getting Organized
- Complete or update the Student Employment Application
To work on campus, you must be a matriculated U-M student AND complete the Student Employment Application located in Wolverine Access: Student Business. If it has been more than 6 months since you've completed the application, be sure to update your information and make it current. Use the Student Employment Application Step by Step Assistance document to assist you in completing the application.
- Search for jobs
Go to the Student Employment Website to search for available jobs. You may also reference the Jobs for University of Michigan Students (PDF) brochure, which provides an overview of what you need to know about student employment at U-M. Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. (For a free download go to http://www.adobe.com)
Step Two: Getting Hired
- Apply, Interview and Complete Paperwork
Once you have decided on the job(s) you would like to apply for, follow the instructions within the job posting to complete the application process. After your interview is complete and the hiring department has extended a job offer, be prepared to complete all of the required employment forms. Reference the Complete Employment Paperwork section for required information.
- Complete Employment Paperwork
- Federal Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form
Everyone in the United States, not just students, must complete this federal form when beginning a job with a new employer.
Although the form itself is easy to fill out, you must also present an original document or documents that establish your identity and employment eligibility. Review Page 9 of 9 of the New Form I-9 for a listing of acceptable documents.
- Criminal Background History Consent Form
You may be asked to complete a consent form at the time of your hire. The information you will need to complete this form are your name, date of birth, race, sex and drivers license or state ID number. View the Criminal Records Consent form HERE
Step 3: Getting Paid
- Direct Deposit Authorization
Direct Deposit is the University's recommended method for delivering your paycheck. It's easy and convenient because your paycheck is deposited directly to your bank account, and you can access your pay stubs from any computer using Wolverine Access: Student Business
- W4 Tax Forms (Federal and Michigan Tax Withholding)
Upon hire, the University assumes a Federal and Michigan tax filing status of "single with no exemptions". If your filing or exemption status is different from this, please update that information in Wolverine Access: Student Business. Look for the Federal and Michigan W4 links after you access Student Business.
In most instances, you may update your Federal W-4 information using Wolverine Access. First, follow the steps to view your W-4 information. Then, you can make changes to your Federal W-4 information and submit them. The ?HELP menu option on the "Federal W-4 Tax Information" webpage provides detailed information about making and submitting changes.
If you are not a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident, you cannot update your Federal W-4 information using the web, and you must complete a hardcopy form. Both forms are available for printing from the W-4 page on Wolverine Access.
- Alien Certificate – Form 9835
The University makes various types of payments to non-resident aliens. These payments which may be non-taxable for United States and State of Michigan income tax purposes if:
- There is a tax treaty in effect with their country of residence and
- Specific articles under the tax treaty grant the exemption.
- Salaries paid to teachers and researchers
- Form G/G-2 payments for independent services
- Fellowship/Scholarship payments
- Wages paid to students
Income tax withholding rules for salary/wages paid to non-resident aliens require withholding at the graduated tax rates. Fellowship/scholarship payments to non-resident aliens are taxed at a 14% rate and Form G/G-2 payments at a 30% rate.
Upon entry to the U.S., all non-resident aliens should complete an "Alien Certificate - Form 9835" to ensure proper taxation for Federal, Social Security and State taxes. The form can be found at
- Social Security
Students who do not have a Social Security or T.I.N. number must obtain one immediately after they're hired. Visit the Social Security Administration web site for details on how to apply.
- Work Study Information
Work-Study Employment is a financial aid program that is awarded to students who have financial need. The program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses. Work-Study employers pay only a percentage of the student's wages, while the federal or state government will pay the remaining amount. Refer to the Office of Financial Aid website for additional information on the Work Study program.
- Ending your Temporary Appointment
Should you decide to leave your temporary job for any reason, it is important to communicate your plans to your supervisor. A two week notice is generally customary when terminating any professional relationship.

Scout Role: US Army leaders expect Apaches to be part of the mix of platforms performing the aerial scout mission.
- Filed Under
Leaders in the Army say they can meet "about 80 percent" of the aerial scout mission over the next several years by using a mix of Apache helicopters teamed with a variety of unmanned aircraft, while retiring the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior, which has traditionally performed that role.
In 2010, the service conducted an analysis of alternatives that looked at options for the scout mission and found the best choice to be a mix of AH-64E Apache helicopters, teamed with unmanned systems.
But at the time, "we didn't have enough money to fund all the AH-64s necessary" to meet requirements, said Maj. Gen. ...

The LA premiere of The Back-Up Plan isn't until next week, but Jennifer Lopez is already rocking the red carpet for her film. Lady Louboutins donned her finest animal print for a screening of the film in Miami last night, joined by husband Marc Anthony and a handful of local celebs (hey, it's Miami). The film is actually earning some modest praise from early critics—and by "modest praise" we mean it's a rom-com and no one's scratched their eyes out yet. Will this be the comeback J. Lo needs? See more photos of her in the gallery below.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - - The University of Louisville men's golf team is ready to take the next step. With a veteran group returning for head coach Mark Crabtree, the Cardinals are poised to continue their upward trajectory after a solid fall.
Crabtree doesn't have a senior on the roster, but is bringing back a solid group of players, who saw a lot of competitive action last spring and this past fall. However, Crabtree, who is entering his 16th season as head coach, needs to see improvement and more consistency this spring.
"I want to continue to look for solid improvement from each player," Crabtree said. "We saw that this past fall and that is our most important objective. We need to continue to be coachable to make the necessary changes which will lead to more consistency and improved scoring."
The Cardinals win their own tournament in the fall and also had a second-place finish, but at times showed they weren't ready to compete at the highest level.
"This team is very capable, although a young team in terms of collegiate experience, they have played a lot of golf. I like their commitment and I believe we can build on the success of this past fall. We want to find ourselves at the NCAA Championship Finals in late May."
The Cardinals will open the spring season this weekend at the Hayt Invitational in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. A 14-team field awaits the Cardinals, but Crabtree is focused on what his team needs to do to be successful.
Junior Max Walz is one of the more experienced players for Crabtree, but must show more consistency in his game. He enters the spring after an 11th-place finish in Hawaii in the last event of the fall
"Max was an all-conference performer from last year," Crabtree said. "We will call on his leadership this year. He is a very dedicated and passionate player, who is capable of becoming more consistent player."
Junior Trevor Sluman is another upperclassman, who can help the Cardinals get better if he can continue to add contributions. He played sparingly in the fall, but did post a second-place finish at the Pinetree Intercollegiate and was tied for 12th at Western Kentucky.
A player who made tremendous contributions to the team last season was junior Antoine LeSaux . Over the last two seasons, LeSaux posted seven top 10 finishes, including a second-place finish at the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate last year. He led the squad with rounds under par in the fall.
"LeSaux is the emotional leader of the team," Crabtree said. "He has great ambition. He's full of energy and heart to be his very best. Antoine is a fighter in everything he does."
The most consistent player last season was sophomore Robin Sciot-Siegrist who qualified as an individual to the NCAA Regionals. He earned All-BIG EAST accolades with a seventh-place finish at the BIG EAST championships. He also tied for the tournament title at Purdue last spring. This fall, Sciot-Siegrist posted a sixth-place finish at the Brickyard Intercollegiate.
"Robin was an NCAA selection and an all-conference player as a freshman," Crabtree said. "He picked up first collegiate victory last spring at Purdue and kept getting better. He is an excellent ball striker and is a very focused and determined player. He put the lowest scores of the team on the board in the fall."
Sophomore Gus Lundquist is ready to make a bigger contribution after playing just two events in the fall. Lundquist was a solid contributor during his true freshman season. Appearing in eight events, Lundquist was third on the team in stroke average at 74.8, which included a career-best seventh-place finish at the BIG EAST championships.
"Gus was an all-conference player as a freshman," Crabtree said. "He loves the game and is a very hard worker. He made solid contributions in first year and I look for the same in sophomore season. He is capable of shooting low numbers, but needs to continue to prove that on the course."
Crabtree recruited three talented freshmen and that was evident by the way they competed in the fall. Robert Geibel made an immediate impact. He finished sixth at the Cardinal Intercollegiate and closed the fall by winning the Warrior Wave Invitational by shooting a school record 201.
"Robert was our most consistent player day to day," Crabtree said. "He has a wonderful repetitive golf swing and has a great attitude and demeanor for the game. Robert is a gutty performer. He picked up his first collegiate victory in Hawaii this past fall and has all the tools to become an even better player."
J.D. Lehman will look to earn a bigger role this season and has the talent to crack the lineup. He played in four events and showed an ability to compete, but will look to expand his role this spring.
"Lehman is a highly motivated player," Crabtree said. "He owns a very solid golf swing with good fundamentals and will make big impact for us. J.D. is a good learner who picks up necessary changes quickly. He has a strong vision for what he wants to accomplish."
Ben Montgomery is a talented youngster from Christian Academy in Louisville, who appeared in two events last fall. He tied for 47th in his first collegiate event, but Crabtree likes his potential.
"Ben is one of the best young players from the state of Kentucky," Crabtree said. "He is fundamentally sound and owns a lot of confidence. He loves to play the game and is capable of having a big season."
The Cardinals are also capable of a big season as a team and it gets underway on Sunday at the Hayt Invitational in Florida.

'American Pickers' features back roads, hidden treasures and compelling storiesWritten by Keith Bergman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Think of any one-of-a-kind piece of history at an antique shop. Now imagine that same object, forgotten and cobwebbed in some barn or attic. How did it get to the store shelf? Chances are, it was rescued by a picker.
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are inarguably the two most famous pickers in America. Their reality show, "American Pickers," debuted last year on the History cable station, quickly amassing 3-5 million viewers per episode. Wolfe and Fritz travel the back roads in their trusty van, knocking on doors, interacting with real folks far outside the realm of blow-dried TV glitterati, haggling with them over the worth of everything from rusty bicycles to old signs to jukeboxes. It's addictive and successful — after a ten-show first season, History renewed "American Pickers" for a whopping 26 episodes.
Wolfe and Fritz, friends since eighth grade, have been scavenging and dealing since childhood, turning their hobby into a career as adults.
"Frank and I would run ads in these small towns, put up flyers, and no one would ever call us," Wolfe recalled in a recent interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "So we started hitting gravel roads and knocking on doors. 'Got any old bicycles? Got any old motorcycles?' It just kinda snowballed from there into a business."
Wolfe continued, "We'd come across these people with incredible stories, and their connection with the piece. And the way we were finding things was different from what anyone else was doing … I'd come home with all these stories, and my friends would tell me 'you really need to start documenting some of this stuff.' I started filming myself, traveling around and digging in barns, and when Frank and I would travel together, we'd film each other. Say I was on a back road, buying something from someone, I'd give them the camera and have them filming me talking about the item. Believe me, I got some really weird reactions!"
While the show is popular, some take exception to the duo and their tactics, accusing them of preying on elderly victims for their heirlooms.
"I think the biggest criticism is that we're out deliberately searching for old people," Wolfe said. "We're not searching for old people, we're searching for old stuff, and the thing is, we want to discover the back roads of America and these stories. The older people in this country — they're a wealth of knowledge … when you can actually talk to somebody like that, and have [their] stories unfold, it makes me wonder sometimes if [the critics are] watching the same show that we are. Another thing people should be aware of is that when we go to someone's property, a lot of times there are other family members there, there's nine people in our crew there … it's not as intimate as it looks on television."
Fritz chimed in: "Nobody sells anything they don't want to. We don't strong-arm anybody. A lot of these people have stuff that's just going to waste. They don't know where to get rid of it, they don't have the customer base, don't know what it's worth … a lot of times, we're recycling things, we're putting things back into people's hands — they're living a new life."
Wolfe's goal for the show, beyond the day-to-day search for the next great pick, is the celebration of collecting, of forgotten objects, unsung people and their stories.
"Some of the stuff we buy is dirty and rusty, but the people at the swap meets where we grew up, the people who taught us what we know, that was the kind of stuff they were buying and selling, and making a living at," he said. "Everything that's antique doesn't have to be Victorian. You don't have to have a blue blazer and ten cats to be an antique dealer. [People] need to know that antiques are fun, and cool and an adventure. I think that's what young people like about the show, is that these places still exist, and these items still exist. These stories are still there. Get out of your own door sometime and take a look around you, and you'll be amazed at some of the things you can find."
Season 2 of "American Pickers" began June 7 on History. Want to let the American Pickers know about your barn full of "rusty gold"? Drop their team a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
