A fifth man has been charged in connection with the Aug. 5 beating and robbery of a newspaper deliveryman in Waldorf, police reported.
Detectives with the Charles County Sheriff's Office arrested Kenneth Dionel Brawner, 21, of Waldorf without incident on Saturday. He is being held on $100,000 bail.
Brawner is the fifth man to be charged in the case. Andrew Lee Washam, 21, of Waldorf was arrested Aug. 17. Derrick Jamar Thompson, 20, of Waldorf and Jerrod Lamont Benson, 21, of Lexington Park were arrested the next day. Gregory Lee Boseman Jr., 19, of Waldorf was arrested Aug. 22.
All five have been charged with robbery, first- and second-degree assault, theft and motor vehicle theft.
Benson, Thompson and Boseman also had bail set at $100,000 while Washam is being held on $50,000 bail, according to online court records.
The victim, a 62-year-old Waldorf resident, was making newspaper deliveries around 2:40 a.m. Aug. 5 in the 3300 block of Ryon Court when he was assaulted by a group of men.
During the attack, one of the robbers stole the deliveryman�s driver�s license, money and cellphone and stripped him of his clothes.
The men continued punching and kicking the deliveryman before fleeing in his delivery van.
The deliveryman was able to crawl to the lobby of the sheriff�s office�s nearby District 3 station in Waldorf, where department and emergency personnel rendered aid. He then was taken to Civista Medical Center in La Plata with injuries that were severe but not life-threatening, police reported.
Officers located the van nearby in the 12100 block of Vivian Adams Drive.
Investigators canvassed the neighborhood. As part of the investigation, detectives handed out fliers and told residents how to contact Crime Solvers. The four men were identified as a result of citizen tips, police reported.
Detectives have also linked Thompson to the Aug. 2 robbery of a clerk at a convenience store on St. Ignatius Drive.
In that case, Thompson is accused of grabbing the clerk by the neck and stealing four packs of cigarettes. Investigators served an arrest warrant for Thompson on Wednesday charging him with robbery, second-degree assault and theft.
Anyone with additional information should call detective B. Buchanan at 301-609-6477, detective J. Austin at 301-609-6504 or Charles County Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS.

Charley's adopted mother is happy to report his last visit to the veterinarian went very well and there's nothing new to report medically. However, at home, Charley has become more demanding – he's barking when he wants goodies. He and the other dogs in the house love taking turns steeling the toys from each other and running all around. We are so glad Charley is living in a happy home. He is doing as well as can be expected considering the trouble he has walking and although it is difficult for Charley to get around, he is always in good spirits. He wags his tail when he receives attention and pretty much gets anything he wants when he flashes his puppy dog eyes – he's irresistible!

Lady Harmony
Dear Valued Friend,
North Shore Animal League America would like to take a moment to inform you of the passing of our adored feline friend, Lady Harmony. Â
Beautiful Lady Harmony joined the Animal League's Sponsor Program in 2008 at the age of 10 – 11 years old. She was diagnosed with diabetes and required daily insulin shots twice a day as well as monthly check-ups.Â
Animal League veterinarians suspected a previous history of urinary tract infections and possible pancreatitis. In addition to the diabetes, they found bladder stones. Lady Harmony had a cystotomy operation to remove the stones and made a full recovery.
It wasn't long before an associate of the Animal League's Alex Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center fell in love with the onyx-colored cat and brought her home to foster.
Though Lady Harmony often felt shy around her feline foster siblings, there was one special kitten who stole her heart. Lady Harmony cared for this little kitten as a mother would and we believe that this special relationship helped Lady Harmony to find peace and solitude.
The Animal League is so grateful to all our Sponsors and to Lady Harmony's foster mother for giving her the best quality of life possible. Without this unconditional love and devotion, we would not be able to give our special-needs pets the extraordinary care we so lovingly provide.
Though we will always miss Lady Harmony, we take solace in knowing that she had a wonderful loving home and that she was cherished. Our memories of her will melt our sadness and our affection for her will make us smile once again.
The Sponsor Team
We are happy to report that Ellie is doing well. She still has the energy of a puppy and gets very excited when she knows she is going out for a walk. However, her foster mom recently had a surgical procedure and wasn't feeling too well and Ellie nuzzled up with her for a little rest and relaxation to make her feel better. But, Ellie loves her time out in the yard and needed to sneak away for some lounging on her dog bed while the weather still permitted. Soon the snow will be falling and little Ellie will be stuck inside gazing out through the window.

Walk into Robert Kuchta's office, and the first thing you'll notice is a bookshelf filled with bins and bins of Legos. The opposite bookshelves hold yet more toys.
Like most professors, Kuchta also has plenty of books, but as a professor of practice, he doesn't do traditional academic research. Instead, he focuses on teaching and sharing his industry experience with students.
Kuchta spent 30 years working for AT&T, where he started at Bell Labs in research and development before moving into public relations and marketing. He has been teaching in the departments of marketing and management at Lehigh since 1999.
"I have much experience stumbling through and making mistakes," he explains. "When I share these lessons in class, students understand that I'm talking from the specifics of what I've done."
Kuchta's favorite aspect of teaching is the challenge of explaining class material to students in a way that is not only easy to understand, but also fun.
"It makes learning easier," he says. "If you ask preschoolers how many of them can dance or sing, every hand goes up. Ask college students, and few, if any, hands go up. What happened from preschool where you could do anything to today? I want to get you back to 'We can do it.' I try to find the common ground so everyone can understand what we're talking about, learn the principles and, in the end, enjoy it."
That's where the Legos come in. Kuchta incorporates exercises where student teams challenge each other in his classes, for example, when he teaches marketing in Bus 001, the introductory course that all first-year students in the College of Business and Economics must take.
"The essence of marketing is making a product different," he says. "So I give a container of play sand to student teams and give them 10 minutes to come up with ideas that differentiate the product."
"So far, the record is 129 ways: we can treat it so it doesn't stick, make it water-soluble, make it glow in the dark. That's a cool way to stimulate students' thinking. When we push them, they realize that 10 or 20 ideas aren't enough."
In addition to teaching management and marketing, Kuchta is the director of the business minor, a program designed to teach students in the university's other colleges about the fundamentals of business.
"Even for students in the arts and sciences and engineering colleges, their career advancement will depend on their understanding of business. The business minor gives them that knowledge," says Kuchta.
Students complete the minor with a game simulation where they compete to sell bicycles. They have to build a factory, price the bikes and figure out their marketing strategy.
"In the course of four semesters, they come to understand all these things about business," says Kuchta. "We find that when students apply for jobs, the business minor becomes the dealmaker."
In fact, preparing students to get jobs after graduation is another of Kuchta's objectives. He uses his industry contacts to connect students to opportunities, and his door is always open to help students polish their resumes or prepare for interviews.
"There's this kumbaya, if you will," he says. "Lehigh's strength is not just the learning in the classroom, but also the close relationships with the faculty and alumni. The Lehigh education has a lot of value beyond what you might find elsewhere."

LIMITS: A 1950 ordinance places no specific cap on small farm animals in city residences. But Shawna Goldammer, city zoning enforcement manager, applies a rule of four - birds not included.
PUSH FOR CHANGE: Goldammer wants the City Council to update the ordinance.

In a state where agriculture reigns supreme, Sioux Falls for decades has had a relatively lax attitude when it comes to residents keeping some types of farm animals.
The city's ordinances explicitly allow residents to keep fowl and other small animals, and some who promote urban agriculture are urging people to not only consider raising chickens but to plant more gardens.
But during the summer, city officials received complaints about one resident keeping two goats. In another instance, a family wanted to raise more than 25 chickens, said Shawna Goldammer, the city's zoning enforcement manager.
Now, Goldammer is asking the City Council to review the ordinances and to decide whether they need to be updated. The one authorizing fowl dates to 1950.
"That's exactly how it is in 2011 in our ordinance today," she told councilors.
"Nothing has changed, but our city certainly has changed since 1950."
Residents can keep the animals as long as they aren't for commercial use and as long as it's not on a scale that bothers neighbors, Goldammer said. There isn't a defined limit to the number of chickens a person can keep. But when it comes to dogs and cats, residents can have no more than four.
When conflicts arise, Goldammer said she has tried to apply that limit of four animals to chickens and small farm animals, although the ordinance exempts birds from the limit. Given the open-ended, subjective nature of the ordinance, she hopes the council will move to resolve those issues.
A lot of other communities are addressing the issue, Councilor Kenny Anderson Jr. said. "I think it's something we definitely need to take a look at."
Earlier this year in Rapid City, the council rejected a proposal that would have allowed residents to keep up to six chickens.
Jeff Lounsbery, the agriculture agent in the Lincoln County Extension Service office, said the average hen lives four to six years and will lay 500 to 700 eggs. A few hobby chickens could keep a family stocked with eggs. Chicks can be bought for as little as $1 each, their shelter can be something as easy as a dog house, and the birds will subsist by eating insects and grass.
"The thing about chickens, if you have a small flock like that, they're really cheap to get into," he said.
'Desire to grab hold of something stable'
Tim Olsen, executive director of Ground Works - formerly known as the Sioux Falls Urban Agriculture Initiative - said many communities are moving forward with laws that allow residents to raise chickens, particularly in the Upper Midwest.
"A lot of those venues are allowing limited amounts of poultry."
Olsen said the changing economy and uncertainty are key reasons for why interest in chickens, gardens, beekeeping and other forms of urban agriculture is growing in popularity.
"The economy is changing," he said. "I think there is a desire to grab hold of something that seems stable, something that seems secure."
Animal unfit for city, some residents say
Others have a different view.
"If they want chickens, they need to live outside the city of Sioux Falls," resident Char Wollan said.
Wollan lobbied city councilors to enact an immediate ban on chickens and other types of small farm animals. She fears that more and more people will begin keeping the animals, which will create health problems and noise. The city already has a problem with slums. Fowl will only create more, she predicted.
"There's a lot of chickens in this town - a lot of them," she said.
Olsen, however, said the animals are less odorous than traditional pets when properly cared for. He hopes Sioux Falls creates a structure that encourages greater urban agriculture rather than restricting it, and he said there are good models from other cities. Some cities, for example, prohibit roosters because of noise. Hens aren't nearly as noisy.
How noisy? Opinions vary
"Frankly," Olsen said, "they make a lot less noise than many dogs."
The city already has ordinances addressing animal odor and noise. Roosters almost certainly would violate the noise ordinance, Goldammer said.
Wyatt Urlacher, a Sioux Falls resident with six hens, said he talked with neighbors before buying his chickens. He agrees that the city could make rules to better define how people keep fowl. It doesn't help the cause when people have too many birds or are irresponsible. But with the recession, higher fossil fuel prices and a "conglomerated food system that leads to massive salmonella and E. coli outbreaks," Urlacher thinks it makes sense for cities to allow residents to provide for themselves.
"Is food sovereignty a fundamental right? I think so," he said. "And I don't think it should be restricted to those who have acreages in the country. I live in the city so I can walk to work, but I also enjoy producing my own food. It ties into the overall issue of sustainability and what that means for a community."
A small number of hens in a fenced backyard might never be noticed, even in the city, Lounsbery said.
"You could have a lot of situations where if you don't have a rooster, you'd never know they were there," he said.

Topsham elementary school nominated for national award
TOPSHAM — Williams-Cone Elementary School is one of three Maine schools nominated as a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School.
The Maine Department of Education announced the nominees – which also include Longfellow Elementary School in Portland and Yarmouth Elementary School – last week.
Williams-Cone was selected as a high-performing school, according to Principal Randa Rineer, since its achievement on the 2011 New England Common Assessment in math and reading by third- through fifth-graders scored in the top 15 percent among Maine schools.
"This nomination is a wonderful honor for the WCS staff," Rineer said in a December school newsletter. "It reflects not only the staff's hard work and commitment but it is also reflective of our outstanding student population, (School Administrative District 75), and the highly dedicated WCS community."
This is Rineer's first school year as principal, and she praised the work of the previous leadership – Otis Thompson and Steve Ciembroniewicz – in earning the nomination.
The U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School program honors public and private schools with students who achieve at significantly high levels or have made strong progress and closed gaps in achievement, particularly among minority and disadvantaged students.
Each nominated school has student achievement in Maine's top 15 percent for both math and reading. Winners will be announced in September 2013.

FIGURE 8.D.1 Life-cycle CO2emissions for nuclear power plants. These estimates were gathered from the open literature. The red bars represent the estimates of Fthnakis and Kim for nuclear power plants built and operated in the United States. The estimates below this range include European and Japanese estimates that assume that nearly all fuel enrichment is done via gas centrifuge; this would not be the case in the United States in the near future. The estimates above this range were from a single source (Storm van Leeuwen and Smith, 2007). The highest estimate includes lower-quality uranium ore than the committee judges is likely to be needed in the near future. In addition, for these three estimates, a different type of life-cycle analysis was used, which may not be directly comparable with other estimates (both for nuclear and other generating options). For comparison, traditional coal plants emit approximately 1000 g CO2equivalent per kWh of electricity produced.

Should we really call them "bad words" to our kids?
As Noah is getting older, he's starting to learn that there are certain words in the English language that he's gonna get a lecture about when and if he says them. I'll let you use your imagination as to what those words are.
Some people call them "bad words." And I have to wonder, is that really something healthy to teach our children? That some words are "bad?"
I for one, try not to swear too much, but sometimes I enjoy saying almost every word that I would tell my son is a "bad word." I like to put them into my writing sometimes to emphasize certain emotions or points; I like to use them to be funny during certain conversations and with the right people; And, as much as I'm working on it, there are times when they just slip out when I least expect it. Like when I see a cop's red and blues glaring in my rearview mirror.
I used to be married to his mom, and I know for a fact that she occasionally uses some of the "bad words," too. And, I'm 99% positive his stepdad uses the "bad words" sometimes as well. I know his grandparents do. I know some of his aunts and uncles do. In fact, there are very few adults I know who never say "bad words." Most of them, if anything, enjoy a good cuss word here and there. I think it's part of our human nature… to rebel against the norm when it won't hurt anybody.
So if most of the grown-ups use "bad words," what does that teach my kid? As he himself grows up, he's going to hear a lot of the people he loves use a lot of the words that he has been told his entire life are bad.
Now, I'm no Einstein, but I'm pretty sure that when you teach a child that something is "bad" and they see you doing it, they will then naturally think you are "bad" for doing it. And, due to the rate of "bad words" that will be slipping out of Noah's parent's and his grandparent's and his aunt's and uncle's and everybody else's mouths, he's gonna think he has a pretty damn bad family. Pardon my French.
When he gets older, he's gonna think his friends are "bad" as they experiment and push their boundaries. He's gonna think his siblings are "bad." And, he's gonna think he himself is "bad" when and if he decides that he wants to try those words out for himself.

Earnings for Grocery Stockers in the United States come in at around $9.36 per hour on average. Pay ranges from $7.66 per hour on the low end to $13.47 on the high end. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is geography, followed by experience level and the specific company. Although half have medical coverage and roughly a third have dental coverage, nearly one-half claim no health benefits at all. Most people on this career path report moderate levels of job satisfaction. Men make up the vast majority of Grocery Stockers (87 percent) who took the survey. The data for this snapshot was collected from individuals who took PayScale's salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Positions as grocery stockers are available at a variety of grocery stores, though the size of teams and available openings depend on the size of the employing store. Some grocery stockers may work in a relatively independent position, while others need to coordinate with other employees performing stocking duties. Most of the stocker's work consists of receiving and stocking items carried by the store, as well as performing tasks such as cleaning the store, ensuring prices are accurately displayed, removing expired products, and setting up displays.Read More...
Work hours for the position vary depending on the opening, but it is common to work weekends, evenings, and holidays in many cases. Grocery stockers work in an indoor environment, but exposure to outdoor shipping docks may be necessary; depending on the location of the store, exposure to hot or cold temperatures may also be expected. With safety protocols and procedures in place, safety and risk-related issues are generally minimal.
This position may require a high school diploma or equivalent. Experience is not usually required, but the ability to lift and handle products is important. In addition to this, basic math skills and superior customer service skills are also expected. Time-management skills, including not being late or wasting time on the clock, are required as well.
Many Grocery Stockers can be found at The Kroger Company, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, Food Lion, Publix Super Markets Inc, and Whole Foods Market, Inc., firms that are at the top of the field. Safeway, Inc. leads the field in terms of pay, with a median salary of $25K.
Food Lion offers the lowest pay in the field with a median salary of just $19K. There's also little variation in pay at the company, with pay ranging from $16K to $24K.
Survey takers who work as Grocery Stockers typically report just a few professional skills. Order Inventory and Customer Service are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Customer Service and Order Inventory are also commonly seen together.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $19K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $22K. For Grocery Stockers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $27K. Folks with more than two decades of experience actually report lower incomes overall; their average comes out to a mere $26K.

Been here many times for the food but if you get the wrong waiter watch out. They almost all rush you through your meal. My husband and I were finishing drinks after we paid and a waiter tried to clear a glass that was half full! Also, too noisy to come with a group it's hard enough to hear the person next to you.
Posted by Bob Zenhausern on 10/05/2012
The food was adequate if pricey, but the service was outrageous. I ordered a glass of wine and ordered a second different wine. When the waiter returned with the second glass, he just poured the old into the new. When I responded, his reaction was, "It all goes to the same place" And he kept arguing that what he did was fine. Never again.

Posted by DrDr on 10/10/2011
I've been to most of the highest rated steakhouses in NYC (and around the world) and this in one of, if not the best. The steak (porterhouse-a must) is incredibly tender and flavorful, awesome dirty Kettle One with blue cheese olives- All around a class ask. On a given night, you may even catch the owner there making sure everything is perfect (we did). Go here, get porterhouse and you won't be disappointed!

Terrific food BUT absolutely the noisiest restaurant I have ever been in with the poorest service I have ever experienced. This is the first time I have ever left $0.00 tip. There was NOTHING we asked for (including our entrees) that we did not have to ask for three times. The waiter(s) kept on banging the back of one guest's chair knocking grasped knife and other silverware across the table with never uttering an apology. The two maitre d's could care less or be less accommodating. The best responses they could utter to any complaint or request were: "If you think this is noisy you should try our Park Avenue restaurant" or "what do you expect, this is New York?" or "Thank you." I'm a New Yorker who appreciates good food. The food in our $425.78 bill for four would have been almost worth it were it not for the noise level and the completely horrid wait staff. Wolfgang's makes BLT Steak, well known for its high noise level, sound like a morgue. This restaurant should offer a discount for service or close shop!

If u want a good meal, this is the place. However this place is not for romantic quite type but I love it a lot. I go there at less one a month. This is for for new Yorkers. Love it this place.
Posted by JsT on 06/20/2011
from the moment i sat down i wanted to leave. When i mentioned it to a friend that i had eaten there before i could say another word he said "noisy right'. And he was talking about the Greenwich street location not the 54th street restaurant. It was almost impossible to hear my fellow diner who was sitting right next to me.When the waiters constantly bump into the back of your chair without one apology it is hard to find anything good about a restaurant and i didn't. I shall not return. Plenty of steak restaurants in New York.

Do you feel like you're not getting enough exercise? You're not alone.
In Hawai'i, about half of the adult population does not meet physical activity
If you think exercising costs too much time and money, consider this: Increasing
evidence shows that being unhealthy can cost more time and money in the long run.
Inactivity is costly for society as a whole, contributing to higher medical costs
and more sick days at work. That's because inactivity, along with an unhealthy
diet, can add up to gaining unwanted pounds, putting you at risk for chronic diseases
that are costly to treat. During the past 20 years, obesity rates among adults have
risen significantly in the U.S. Statistics show that about 34 percent of U.S. adults
are obese. In Hawai'i, about 20 percent of adults are obese.
Exercise provides many benefits to help you look and feel good. It also helps manage
health care costs. According to the Hawai'i Department of Health's Hawai'i
Physical Activity and Nutrition Surveillance Report 2008:
Nationally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says:
How much physical activity is beneficial to your health? Studies show that 30 minutes
of moderate exercise a day can lower your risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart
disease, stroke, and some cancers. Physical activity can help you avoid premature
death and feelings of depression and anxiety. It also helps maintain healthy bones,
muscles and joints.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
Well if soe would not have tried to screw their player base they would not be getting the extra hate now.
All one has to do is look at the downgrade in graphics that we got with gu57, and the total lack of communication from the dev team, other than to say. And I quote from rotty himself "Were not going to change anything if only one person is upest"
This after 57 pages of frustration with the gu, and 20 pages with nerfed spell graphic effects, a couple of hundred pages of upset folks about eq2 extended.
Yea lots of unhappy folks , and that has nothing to do with swg. Seams soe is trying to added EQ2 to the most hatted mmo list, and they want folks to try the extended version.
I have to laugh at that.
If it were not for the fact both me and the wife have 6 month subs just renewed before gu57 i don't think either of us would be playing it right now.
Yes the gu was that bad, it is to eq2 what the cu was to swg. Im just afraid what were fixing to get next is the nge. I keep reading what the devs are saying about standardized. That word brothers me.
It is no wonder the hate is pouring all over the place nowdays, soe has no clue what its customer base wants.

SOE 's biggest failure has been and still is it's utter lack of communication with it's customers. Right now, in the middle of the whole hacked/shutdown debacle one has to search out any info at all on what is going on and when things might even be turned back on. All of their websites still have an 'update' from 6 days ago and you have to dig for that, the main page is from 8 days ago. They tweeted (for those even looking at it) that 'The servers will not be up again today' at 10pm eastern on the 10th. Here it is middle of the day of the 11th and still no word or update. Only an email from last week that said 'your info probably got stolen.'
Seriously, when millions of people are awaiting word we get not a peep? In fact, they said FU to Congress and submitted a written Q&A even after being asked to come testify to what they hell was up. They ignore Congress, why wouldn't they ignore us, we are just the ones paying their salaries. This is beyond bad customer service, this is anti-customer service. It's a shame because I still like playing SWG and EQ2 and am holding out hope that they might someday fix the PC version of DCUO to be playable but this really might be the straw that breaks their back.

I think this thread might get a lot more posts if the feeling about SOE's sale of EU publishing rights to a German TV Media company spills over from the official SOE forums.

I...don't remember the last time that I was angry at anything, but the general lack of communication from SOE and this Alaplaya deal...
Many friends and guildies sold like cattle to a shady company? I don't approve.
I was looking forward to PS Vita, but I'm going to have to skip that. Since I'm now boycotting all Sony products.

My fears have been justified by the experiences of the poor DCUO players.
I didn't want to be like chicken-licken but the sky in SOE's world is really falling in and I'm happy to be out. Just need to find another game to sub to now.

It''s one thing to have a opinion, but enforcing one is unconstitutional.
I love it when people hate a company for wanting to make money. They wont have a business if they dont make money. Legendary items are part of them making money. If they let free accounts get these items whats the point in paying for the game. money isnt really all that important unless u want to lvl to max wit collections. Get over urselves SoE is no different then any other company in the F2P market

Thanks man. I needed that. I posted a well thought out critique of their latest nerf-fest and they deleted it from their forum, those baie-steeds! Here it is to fuel the flames! Guess they couldn't handle all the truth.

Open Letter to SOE (Everquest 2, Chains of Eternity)
Did you once consider that PL really isn't a help to anyone? If you have 10 95's, you need to do 10 epic quests,
Well, i could go on and describe in horrid detail all the ways in which they screwed over crafters, and exactly how it makes no sense to use experimentation the way it is now on certain items. But if you go find my posts with the same name as my handle here, you'll see it all. I'm strongly suspicious that the devs have regular accounts on the forum and fiercely defend their decisions on the SOE website. I don't think actual players really want to be destroying 1000plat worth of mats with experiments, only devs would think that was "fair."

This is such a cliche and i have read this 'listen to me or your game will die' on almost every MMO forum and yet no MMO has died because of this. Although MMOS have been shut down due to old age or the MMOS which were so niche that they couldn't get enough players had to close the doors.
When you start your critique with doom and gloom .... it is time to just lock it up and throw it in the bin.

Now you got to kill every mob in there before the end boss mob will pop. Now granted I though making the 30% kill item not available was crazy on the last boss, and I did not like them making me kill all the bosses to get to the end boss, I liked skipping those 2. I finally figured out the strat. You know I got 4 cloth wearing toons that can solo that entire instance and you complain you cant do it with a zerker. Something is wrong if you cant solo that zone with a tank. Just saying.

Formed in 1976, PIRA Energy Group is an international consulting firm that specializes in global energy market research and intelligence. PIRA offers a full range of services that provide in-depth and commercially relevant analysis and forecasts of key U.S. and international energy fundamentals and issues that impact the behavior and performance of the energy industry, global energy markets and its various sectors.
PIRA's Retainer Client Services keep companies updated on energy market developments, providing detailed analysis on supply/demand fundamentals, prices, and market movements. PIRA's fuel-specific packages include timely market reports and price forecasts, access to PIRA's comprehensive energy databases, attendance at PIRA's seminars and roundtables, and direct access to PIRA's senior consultants.
PIRA works with well over 500 companies in more than 60 countries, including major national, multinational and independent oil and gas companies, refiners, midstream and downstream companies, utilities, industrial end-users, financial institutions, energy funds, trading companies, and government institutions. PIRA provides key value to any entity that produces, consumes or trades energy.
As the Scenario Planning Service's (SPS) key deliverable, this in-depth report defines and tracks the critical assumptions behind our medium- and long-term views on worldwide oil and natural gas supply, demand, and price projections. It lays out the alternative scenarios around some of those key assumptions, detailing high and low boundary cases that reflect a plausible range of price uncertainty.
This year's Guidebook illustrates the importance of examining alternative scenarios, as the global oil market (along with and many international gas markets) has experienced a major price collapse, broadly in line with the low case scenario that we have put forward for the past several years. Changes to the North American gas outlook have been less dramatic, as Henry Hub prices are still awaiting the demand surge to match the increase in low cost supply.
The Guidebook and SPS's other features provide the insight necessary to manage your business in 2015 and beyond.
PIRA's Regulating Carbon: Impact of the EPA's Clean Power Plan Options provides an in-depth review of the implications of the proposed power sector regulations under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act. The study's expert analysis — delivered through a written report, webinar, and expansive database — offers an objective, unbiased view: it isn't done to support any particular stakeholder position, nor does it utilize the models used by EPA with EPA assumptions.
Outcomes can vary greatly given the flexibility the EPA is offering states in coming up with plans to comply with the rule. How they choose to comply — on a rate or mass basis; solo or through a multi-state program; covering all plants or just existing units; etc. — will be critical for power, gas, coal and renewables markets. Choices cannot be assessed in a vacuum, as the decision of neighboring states can significantly impact the incentives to reduce emissions, re-dispatch coal and gas generation, build new generation, and import/export power.

The Heat Is OFF!
Last Wednesday, the region received some showers and boomers as an introduction to a spell of hot and humid weather from last Thursday through yesterday. Today, we're getting wet as an introduction to a spell of mild and dry weather starting tonight and ending this Thursday afternoon.
This Snowstorm 'Will Make History'
Clearly this is not a storm to be taken lightly. If you have not already completed your storm preparations you should do so immediately.
Snowstorm May Be One Of Biggest In New England History
We are still expecting a widespread 18-to-24 inches or more from this storm, with some isolated areas possibly getting 30 inches.
2 Feet Of Snow, Blizzard Watch Forecast For Friday
This could turn out to be a top 5 snowstorm for Boston. There have only been 6 other storms (on record since 1892) when Boston has received 20+ inches of snow from one storm.
Snowstorm Friday Has Potential To Be Historic
The snowstorm Friday will be big, but will it be historic and rival some of the legendary storms of Boston's past? The short answer is it just might.
Friday Snow Could Be Biggest Storm In 2 Years
There will be no hype here, just the plain old facts as we see them right now, about 72 hours ahead of any sort of storm on Friday.
Downpours, Strong Winds Expected For AM Commute
We are in for one heck of a ride in the next 24-48 hours, the classic New England-style roller coaster complete with warnings signs and all.
Wind Chill Could Hit -20 In Some Towns Tonight
There will be a biting, gusty wind for most of tonight and again tomorrow night, producing wind chill values near 20 below in the northern and western burbs.
Several Inches Of Snow Could Fall On The Coast
At this point, two coastal spots seem most likely to be affected – first, the seacoast of southern New Hampshire down to Cape Ann and second, the South Shore down to Cape Cod
Morning Snow Just Enough To Cause Traffic Issues
By rush hour it should be snowing just about everywhere with a rain/snow mix along the immediate coastline.

Times Ignores Prison Non-Profit's Liberal Slant, Soros Ties
A think tank with ties to liberal financier George Soros was called simply as ŌĆ£nonprofitŌĆØ in a recent New York Times article on privatized prisons.
ŌĆ£The increasing privatization of immigration detention has its critics,ŌĆØ writer Meredith Kolodner noted in her July 19 story, citing unnamed ŌĆ£immigrant advocatesŌĆØ and the ŌĆ£nonprofit research group Justice Strategies.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Private prisons have unleashed an entrepreneurial spirit in this country that is unhealthy,ŌĆØ complained Judith Greene, the groupŌĆÖs director.
Kolodner left out that GreeneŌĆÖs group has a leftward bent and connections to liberal cause financier George Soros. According to the groupŌĆÖs Web site, Greene ŌĆ£has received a Soros Senior Justice Fellowship from the Open Society InstituteŌĆØ while her colleague Kevin Pranis is a former ŌĆ£Soros Justice Fellow.ŌĆØ
Greene was from a dispassionate researcher of American prisons. She claimed a ŌĆ£vengeful penal philosophy and harsh prison cultureŌĆØ in the United States has ŌĆ£led to a dreadful level of brutality and human rights abuses in our own prisons,ŌĆØ in an October 2004 publication for SorosŌĆÖs Open Society Foundation.
Among the clients Justice Strategies serves is the Drug Policy Alliance, a group whose Web site bills itself as ŌĆ£the nationŌĆÖs leading organization working to end the war on drugs.ŌĆØ

Pete DuPre's been playing the harmonica for 75 years. He says it's a gift worth sharing. "God's given me a good thing," Pete says, "because I could play for hours and just keep playing."
At 84 years old, Pete performs regularly for residents of the Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse in Pittsford. "Yes, we enjoy Pete," says Sister Catherine Teresa Martin. "He plays very rhythmic music and we enjoy it."
"I will play something like Edelweiss and I will see the words being formed and the awareness comes and the head starts coming up, and when I can see that,
you can't find that in the bank, that's the answer to your question, what's the reward? Change places with me and watch that happen and you'll understand what I'm talking about," Pete says.

Plattsburgh Guests are invited to a two-night viewing of the grand Egyptian Asp, the dinner will be hosted for its extravagance and mystery and possibly a murder.
The Curse of the Golden Asp Mystery Dinner Theater, hosted by the Woodman of the World chapters 462 and 1016, is a fundraiser for the Plattsburgh Relay for Life Survivor Committee. The event will take place at the Plattsburgh Elks Club, 56 Cumberland Ave. The two night performance will be held Nov. 8 and Nov. 9. Doors Open at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m.
This will be the third year WOW will host the theater group for their annual fundraiser and the second year they do it to raise money for the Relay for Life.
"They really grow every year so we extended it to two-nights," said Tim Gonyo, secretary of the WOW chapter. "We picked the Relay for Life group because they have a strong following and we wanted to collect a great group with a strong network of followers."
Last year the event was attended by over 134.
"It was a great turn out but it was very crowded, this year we moved the event and we added a second night," Tim said. "We hope to have at least 200 people come between both nights."
The dinner theater has been brought together by the Co Op Theater East (COTE) for the past four years. COTE has exclusively worked with WOW for the programs.
Robert Gonyo, one of the three founders and Tim's nephew, said the dinner theater isn't their normal routine.
"We wanted to do this as a way to give back to organizations like Relay For Life in a positive way," Rob said. "A different part of our mission as a theater company is being socially engaged in our work."

ALFRED, Maine (AP) - A judge says a Maine woman convicted of running a prostitution business out of a Zumba studio doesn't have to answer prosecutors' questions in the trial of an accused client.
Justice Roland Cole ruled Thursday after Alexis Wright's attorney argued that testimony could open her up to prosecution on new charges.
Prosecutors wanted Wright to testify in next week's trial of former Kennebunk High School hockey coach Donald Hill. Wright declined under oath to answer questions about him.
Wright is serving a 10-month sentence for prostitution and other charges. Hill is the first alleged client to go to trial.
So far, 68 people have been charged with paying for sex. At least 58 others have pleaded guilty.

And still more on the Research Works Act discussion
This issue continues to generate a great deal of debate, as well it should. You can find some more recent discussions by following the links below. Today Jennifer Howard reports in the Chronicle of Higher Ed that the Modern Language Association, among other professional associations, is also protesting the proposed legislation that 'will curb access to research'.
On January 13, Alison Mudditt, Director of the University of California Press, noted that the 'University of California Press differs from AAP on Research Works Act'.
Richard Poynder lists other good discussions on the issue:

WILLIAMSON - Williamson Fire Chief Jerry Mounts has taken offense to information provided to the Daily News while on scene at a fire last week in the East End of Williamson, in which a home was listed as a total loss.
Chief Mounts addressed information that he says was incorrect, concerning the request for back-up from the Chattaroy Volunteer Fire Department.
"As of 6 weeks ago, there is an automatic aid agreement between the Williamson and Chattaroy Departments," stated the chief. "This means that anytime the emergency tones are dropped for either department to respond to a fire or a vehicle accident, available crews from the other department will automatically be toned to respond as well."
"The false information concerning the reason Chattaroy was on the scene was not provided by me, and I am the only one allowed to issue a statement. It is not the responsibility of anyone in my department to do so, although I am sure it was done unintentionally," said Mounts. "In this case, the reasons for the Chattaroy firefighters and tanker truck being at the fire were not correct, but I do understand that in the chaos and heat of the moment incorrect facts may be delivered by someone who may not be aware of the new agreement."
"I want the community to be aware of the automatic aid agreement," commented the chief. "I don't want our residents to think our department is incapable of taking care of any emergency situation that happens within our city. We established this aid agreement simply to assist one another with man power and equipment. It's a win-win situation for both the Williamson and Chattaroy Fire Departments."
The chief explained that in the past a mutual aid agreement was in force, which meant that should one department need the other; a call had to be made by the chief or the commanding officer and request it before they would send help. Now, with the automatic aid agreement in place there is no time lost, they are dispatched to the scene at the same time.
Chief Mounts said that surprisingly, the water pressure at the E. 6th Avenue location was good, but the service of the Chattaroy water tanker was greatly appreciated.
"The automatic aid agreement allows us to assist one another, to lend a hand where it is needed," said the chief. "We take pride in our work, in our ability to protect the safety of those who reside within the City of Williamson, and we will continue the strong tradition of serving each of them."
The Daily News apologizes for accepting the information at the scene form anyone other than Chief Mounts, and regrets if those facts caused the public to misunderstand the presence of the Chattaroy F.D. at the East End Fire.

In a deal worth $1 million upfront, GK Films has acquired Little White Corvette, the Michael Diliberti script that has Emma Stone attached to star. Stone, who most recently completed The Amazing Spider-Man and who's got some Oscar buzz for her performance in The Help, had an open slot that had several studios buzzing. Shooting on this one will begin in late summer and Scott Aversano will produce with GK's Graham King and Tim Headington. Diliberti wrote the story with David Branson Smith. Stone and Diliberti will be exec producers.
Stone had been interested in the script since last summer. It's a two-hander about a nerdy guy and his wild older sister who travel to Miami to try and sell a million-dollar stash of '70s cocaine they found in the trunk of their late father's car. It's the third recent sale for Diliberti, who sold the pitch The Big Sayonara to Fox as a potential directing vehicle for John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, and an untitled pitch that Warner Bros bought for Todd Phillips to produce. Both Stone and Diliberti are repped by WME; Stone's managed by Anonymous Content and Diliberti by New School Media.
With her best-seller adaptation "The Help" hitting the box office this week, actress Emma Stone is attached to star in "Little White Corvette," a comedy directed by Michael Diliberti, according to TheWrap's sister website ItsontheGrid.com.
Reps for Stone denied the attachment, although one individual close to her conceded that the actress has read — and likes — the script.
"Corvette" is an independent film about a nerdy guy and his wild older sister who team up to sell $1 million of cocaine that they find in the trunk of their deceased father's sports car.
Diliberti wrote Columbia's "30 Minutes or Less," which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari.
The movie is being produced by Scott Aversano and Michael De Luca.
Stone is a compelling young star who'd be a great get for the comedy. In addition to "The Help," she's starred in this year's "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and "Friends With Benefits."
And she stars as Gwen Stacy in Sony's 2012 "The Amazing Spider-Man" and as Jean in Warner Bros.' 2013 film "The Gangster Squad."

Naughty nibbling
Puppies and kittens are curious by nature. Both use their senses to discover their surroundings. Just like babies they go through an oral phase in which everything they find goes into their mouths. Because they do not have hands, their mouths do all the exploring…is it hard or soft, is it heavy or light, what […] [Read More]
Breeder beware
There is no doubt that we are a nation in love with our pets. According to the 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 62% of U.S. households own a pet, meaning 71.4 million homes are looking after a four-legged member of the family. On top of that, an estimated $45.4 billion will be spent by the […] [Read More]

How much that doggie in the window really is
When you begin to think about getting a pet, the biggest concern for most prospective owners is the cost.

When everyone is still looking to cut back, often times our […] [Read More]

However, it is women who seem […] [Read More]
Stop yelling, solve problems
When you see your precious dog come wheeling around the corner with your most expensive shoe in his mouth, it is almost instinctual to yell "bad dog" at him and give him a small thump on the haunches.

Assessment of Integrative Learning
Students demonstrate integrative learning when they articulate how their beyond the classroom experiences relate to major theories and principles in their field and/or apply their learning to create solutions in new situations. We measure student success by evaluating student work, reflections, and creations.
Where to Begin
As you consider beyond the classroom experiences that would be beneficial to your students and engage students in a variety of experiences, consider how students will demonstrate what they have learned (e.g., that they can connect experiences to course/program concepts). This could be through papers, e-portfolio, application to solving problems, or other assignments. Then consider how you will assess this student work.
See a 10-step planning and assessment guide. Note that the first step in the guide is to be clear about the goals and/or learning outcomes that you want students to achieve.
The Learning Outcomes of USC Connect
USC Connect is leading the transformation of students' educational experiences through a university-wide focus on integrating learning within and beyond the classroom. The ultimate goal of USC Connect is for students to be thoroughly and deeply prepared with core knowledge, developed skills, and the dispositions to contribute and lead in home, community, and work settings.
The USC Connect learning outcomes are that:
Students will
- Provide examples of beyond the classroom experiences in which they have engaged and describe how one or more beyond the classroom experiences has contributed to their learning.
- Articulate examples of beyond the classroom experiences that illuminate concepts/theories/frameworks presented in their coursework including a clear description of elements of the beyond the classroom experience that are consistent with or contradictory to the identified concept.
- Thoughtfully connect examples, facts, and/or theories from more than one experience, field of study, and/or perspective such as describing the similarities and differences across experiences, fields of study, or perspectives.
- Pose solutions to problems (i.e., make recommendations) that incorporate learning from both beyond the classroom and within the classroom experiences, articulate how their decisions are supported by what they have learned through their experiences and content preparation, and implement those solutions (if appropriate).
Student progress in meeting these learning outcomes is measured by assessing student work produced at various points in time, such as students' initial integrative learning assignments in UNIV 101 (USC's first-year seminar) and culminating projects in students' senior year, such as e-portfolios integrating learning across courses and experiences.
USC Connect Integrative Learning Rubrics
Grading rubrics which articulate expectations for demonstrating learning can be applied to assess students' abilities to meet learning outcomes at various points in time.
Three examples of rubrics designed to assess the USC Connect Learning Outcomes follow:
- Rubric to assess learning outcomes 1 and 2 to be applied to student work samples from UNIV 101 (first-year experience). pdf)
- Sample rubric created by an individual instructor for assessing learning outcomes 1 and 2 and related course goals to be applied to first-year students e-portfolios. (pdf)
- Final year e-portfolio rubric assessing learning outcomes 1-4 (Designed to assess portfolios submitted in partial requirement for Graduation with Leadership Distinction).

U.S. Agency To Help Clean Up Lead From Joplin Tornado
Date: 19-Dec-11
Country: USA
Author: Kevin Murphy

The Environmental Projection Agency on Friday said it is giving $500,000 to the city of Joplin, Missouri to clean up property contaminated by lead in a devastating May 22 tornado.
The EF-5 tornado ripped through buildings containing lead and stirred up soil atop old lead mines, causing some 1,500 residential properties to become contaminated, city officials said in October. The mayor and city manager asked the EPA for help.
A sampling of 43 properties by the Jasper County Health Department found 19 had elevated lead levels. The tornado damaged or destroyed about 8,000 buildings and took 161 lives.
The EPA grant, derived from its Superfund program, will pay for two staff people to inspect and test soil and coordinate a plan, as well as pay for equipment. City officials estimated that cleaning up 1,500 properties could ultimately cost an average of $5,000 each or $7.5 million.
In the early 1990s, the EPA launched widespread cleanup in Joplin because of soils contaminated by lead and cadmium. Lead testing has long been required prior to building projects, but the cost of doing so exceeds the means of most residents, city officials said.

"Inspired by music and an amazing faculty."
Dan Parsley—Music
Like many talented musical souls, from Bach to Vivaldi, Dan Parsley followed his artistic passions to build a solid professional career at the same time. And Xavier provided him the stage. His major challenge these days— as a professional full-time director for three separate choruses and ensembles, plus completing a dual master's degree in conducting and ethno-musicology—is how to find enough time to pursue all his muses.
Surprisingly, Dan's first area of interest was not music, but pre-law. "Then I started taking music classes, realizing that is what I was excited to do when I got up every morning." So what was it that turned an aspiring lawyer into an inspiring vocal performer and conductor? "It was the music classes and the amazing faculty."
"The academic rigor of the courses and the overall comprehensive nature of the education you receive at Xavier really prepares you for a professional career in music." Dan also credits the core curriculum with helping to guide his way. "It's a very holistic view, not just focused on the music side of what I'm doing."
Just bring your dreams, and talents; Xavier will help you take it to the top. "The music faculty takes a truly vested interest in their students in a way that really draws them in and helps them realize their passions."
The Arts at Xavier
What is art? At Xavier, it's more than just paintings in a museum. It's the ability to tell a story. It's drama performed on the stage. It's poetry. It's the sound of music. In the 21st century world, it's also websites, blogs and tweets. We have a liberal view of the arts, which is fitting since, well, our history is as a liberal arts university.
Sure, we offer traditional art programs in all their forms - painting, ceramics, drawing, fibers, photography, sculpture. But art is more than just paint and clay here. We also offer art for the right side of the brain - art history and art education. What's more, students can audition for scholarships and grants in our music, art and performing arts programs.
Communication Arts
The world changes with each new technology, but one thing remains constant - the importance of communication. It's the one tool that employers value most. Learn the skill and how to apply it to a variety of media: advertising, public relations, radio, TV, video and web
Music Education
The world is filled with aspiring musicians clutching their recorders, awaiting direction. Lead them into musical literacy with this major.
All the world's a stage - and you should be a part of it! Majoring in Theatre at Xavier will give you a broad background in performance, production and more with Cincinnati's finest playhouses.

Adam Marriott is set to stay with City
Posted: January 31, 2013|
Adam Marriott looks set to remain a Cambridge City player after being told he has little future at Cambridge United.
The 21-year-old striker joined City on a short-term contract in October as the Evo-Stik League Southern outfit already had two United players in Luke Allen and James Brighton on temporary deals – FA rules do not allow more than two players from one club to be loaned to another club at the same time.
Marriott has been in fine form at City, scoring 11 goals and culminating in a hat-trick in Tuesday's 6-1 win at home to Kershaw League side Great Shelford in the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup in what was the last match of his deal, which runs out today.
But the forward has continued to train with United and it had been agreed prior to his City move that he could return to the R Costings Abbey.
Director of football Jez George said he had been in talks with Marriott and City to decide a way forward though, after admitting the player, who has made just two substitute appearances for United this season, was unlikely to get a look in.
He said: "We've spoken to Adam and we want to do what's right for him, but at the same time we need to look after Cambridge United.
"We're in discussions with City and we should have everything resolved by the time the window closes.
"Richard (Money, head coach) and I had a good chat with Adam at the end of last week and I met him again on Monday.
"I think he's at an age where it's important that he does what he feels is right for his career and we support him with that.
"He wants to be playing football regularly and that's something we can't guarantee him here.
"We've just said even if that's the decision, we want to help him the best we can because Adam has been here since he was 15 years old.
"He has got to make a decision and we've got to make sure it's right for him before he does it because once it's done, it's done."

Saddle Up for St. Jude raises $7,350
PEDRO, Ohio -- The Elkins Creek Horse Club raised more than $7,000 with its Saddle Up For St. Jude event on Oct. 13.
The club held the event, which raised a total of $7,350 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, at the Elkins Creek Horse Camp at Pedro, Ohio. The money will support the hospital's mission of finding cures and saving children from cancer and other deadly diseases.
A total of 107 horseman and horsewomen attended the event, which included the trail ride, a meal from Moe's Southwest Grill of Ashland, Ky., an auction and a live band. The money that was raised came from riders taking pledges and from the auction.
