To enable overburdened communities to have full and meaningful access to the permitting process and to develop permits that address environmental justice issues to the greatest extent practicable under existing environmental laws.
Read the implementation plan on permitting (PDF) (20 pp, 804K).
Many federal environmental statutes rely heavily on permits to deliver the environmental protection results that are the goal of federal environmental laws. These permits play a key role in protecting public health and the environment in communities.
Building upon the Agency's efforts to incorporate environmental justice concerns in rules, Plan EJ 2014 calls upon EPA to consider environmental justice concerns during the permitting process. EPA will develop and implement tools to:
- Enhance the ability of overburdened communities to participate fully and meaningfully in the permitting process
- Assist permitting authorities to meaningfully address environmental justice issues in permitting decisions to the greatest extent practicable.
To achieve our goals, the Environmental Justice Permitting Initiative will "identify and develop tools to support the consideration of environmental justice during implementation of permitting programs" to reduce "exposures for those at the greatest risk." See the FY 2011-2015 EPA Strategic Plan, Cross-Cutting Fundamental Strategy: Working for Environmental Justice and Children's Health.
The Agency will first focus on EPA-issued permits that provide the best current opportunities for considering environmental justice concerns.
In this way, EPA can make short-term progress and gain valuable lessons for subsequent efforts. Long term, EPA will focus on permits issued according to federal environmental laws (i.e., federal, state, or tribal). Focusing on permitting enables the Agency to address the complex issue of cumulative impacts from exposure to multiple sources and existing conditions.
- Develop tools that will enhance the ability of overburdened communities to participate fully and meaningfully in the permitting process.
- Concurrently develop tools that assist permitting authorities in meaningfully addressing environmental justice in permitting decisions.
- Implement these tools at EPA and work with others to do the same.
EPA Activities to Promote Environmental Justice in the Permit Application Process (EPA Actions)
EPA Actions identifies activities and approaches to promote greater public involvement by overburdened communities in the permitting process, particularly for major permitted activities that may significantly impact these communities.
Regions are implementing plans to explain how they will encourage meaningful engagement of overburdened communities on EPA-issued permits. The plans will be updated as the regional offices gain experience using the plans to guide their outreach efforts in overburdened communities for priority permits.
EPA Actions describes general expectations for the regional implementation plans.

Promising Practices for Permit Applicants (Promising Practices)
Promising Practices encourage permit applicants operating, or proposing to operate, facilities in overburdened communities to strategically plan and conduct enhanced outreach during the permitting process. These promising practices include a number of good neighbor practices already employed by permit applicants across the country. By adopting promising practices, permit applicants can build trust, promote a better understanding in the community of the facility's environmental impact, and build strong relationships that will lead to better results for both the community and the permit applicant.

PAWTUCKET – Every two years, Smith & Street's SportsBusiness Journal releases its annual rankings of the top minor-league markets in the country.
According to the publication's 2013 findings that were unveiled earlier this week, the Providence/Pawtucket market weighed in at a solid 12th out of the 229 markets that were scrutinized and taken under advisement. Two cities that are home to International League clubs finished 1-2 in this year's compellation with Toledo, Ohio grabbing top honors followed by Rochester, N.Y., which boasts four minor-league operations.
"We combine the total attendance from all the teams in the market and index that total attendance number and changes in the attendance over a five-year period against economic factors over the same five-year span," explained SBJ Research Director David Broughton, who researched and wrote the article. "We get the unemployment rate, the total amount of wealth in the market and total population.
"If a market's population goes up, your attendance would go up a specific amount, too," Broughton continued. "It's the same with the other economic indicators. If your unemployment goes down, then there's hopefully more money to spend on sports and your attendance would go up."
While finishing ahead of notable markets such as Portland, Me. (13th), Hartford-New Britain (38th), Lehigh Valley, Pa. (65th), Norfolk, Va. (76th), Louisville (157th) and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (159th) may help place where Providence/Pawtucket was slotted in a better light, the survey's results are actually quite revealing.
When SBJ last performed this biennial exercise in 2011, the market where the only games in town are the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Providence Bruins was held in much higher stature. Right after Hershey-Harrisburg, Pa. and San Bernardino County, Calif. came the appearance of a familiar face – Providence/Pawtucket.
Two years later, SBJ decreed Hershey-Harrisburg as the third-most successful minor-league market in the country with San Bernardino County coming in at one spot behind.
Surely there has to be a sound and logical reason why the Providence/Pawtucket market went from bronze status to outside the top 10, no? From SBJ's perspective, did the Ocean State's connections to minor-league sports really lose that much luster to drop nine spots between ranking periods?
"Looking at the census data, Providence/Pawtucket's population over five years was basically flat. But in the last three years, the total attendance between the two teams has gone down 7.2 percent. That's definitely a negative when you start weighing (the main statistics)," states Broughton.
Pawtucket's paid attendance figure in 2008 was franchise-best 643,049. The numbers have gone down in each of the subsequent seasons as last season's total of 531,473 was the franchise's lowest since McCoy Stadium underwent renovations prior to the 1999 season.
With the Providence Bruins, the AHL club drew 244,276 fans to the Dunkin' Donuts Center in 2007-08. In 2011-12, the P-Bruins had 297,037 fans pass through the turnstiles. Providence actually saw its attendance increase during the five years SBJ took under advisement.
"Going into the (compilation of SBJ's 2013 survey), I was really curious going into this one more than any of the previous efforts to see how economics were going to really play a major part in the rankings," said Broughton. "The good news is that Providence/Pawtucket led all markets in attendance with 4.5 million. That's a top-three market. When you index that against being one of the biggest in terms of population – according to minor-league baseball, Pawtucket draws all the way up to Worcester, so it's a big market – that sort of works against the market's ranking.
"It's also got one of wealthiest markets. Only a handful have more money in minor-league sports than Providence/Pawtucket," added Broughton. "They've got some pretty big bars to hit."
SportsBusiness Journal has been conducting this particular survey since 2005. One thing that's been a constant is recognizing Providence/Pawtucket as one entity rather than separately.
"There's definitely a lot of geographic crossover as far as season-ticket base, but the market boundaries are set by (minor-league baseball and hockey)," says Broughton.
The figures calibrated by SBJ have no bearing on the on-field product. In fact, Broughton lauded the stability the PawSox and P-Bruins have brought to the state. The PawSox have been a Rhode Island treasure since late owner Ben Mondor rescued the sagging franchise in 1977, while the P-Bruins have been a wintertime treat since 1992.
"It's all how the fan responds in the face of or despite economic conditions," said Broughton. "You look at Toledo, which was ranked number one this year. Their economy is terrible, they continue to lose population and money within the market, but somehow (the International League's Mud Hens and ECHL's Walleye) have seen increases in attendance over the last five years."
Asked to weigh in on the ranking, PawSox President Mike Tamburro feels wholeheartedly that "the fans are just as great today if not better than they were in 2011. We all know what type of economic times we are going through, but we're starting to see good signs that growth is coming back.
"I don't want to make excuses. Our fans have been there for us year-in and year-out," expressed Tamburro. "We're just going to work hard to put on the best show we possibly can for our fans, and I think they appreciate it by coming out and showing support."

if there is not anything thing you need in the driectory ~/.xmms try deleting that - it may be configured to use a outplut pluggin that you do not use anymore.
XMMS won't start from the menu (MDK 9.0) so I tried to run it from CLI, when I do (either as a user or root) it get this error message:
** WARNING ** snd_mixer_attach: No such file or derectory
I can't find anything on the XMMS site or the MDK site.
Does anyone know what this file is, or should be, or what I should do to egt this working.
if there is not anything thing you need in the driectory ~/.xmms try deleting that - it may be configured to use a outplut pluggin that you do not use anymore.
No luck there unfortunately. I deleted ~.xmms and ran xmms again. I got the same error and ~.xmms was recreated.
Are you saying that if I have output plug ins installed that I don't need it might be causing it to fail?
If so how do I know which one I need? I installed all the xmms plug ins from the MDK disks so this could be it.
i am guessing xmms is looking for a lib associted with a sound server , e.g. arts or esd - since this is mandrake i am guessing arts. is sound working at all? if you type mpg321 name.mp3 do you get sound? xmms is configured to use sound servers most of the time.
mpg321 isn't installed. I just get command not found. I tried to find it on the instal disks but couldn't.
I have had sound from other apps though. Flash games running in Galeon have had sound with them.
Thanks for your help so far though.
hum... well if flash sounds are workking then i have to assume the rest are working.
at this point i would grab off the rpms from there -> http://www.xmms.org/download.html
tthe redhat rpm should be okay for you.
wasnt that mpg123 ??
no sir! under redhat and debian it it called mpg321 and mpg123 is a link to it.

Jefferson Community College has assembled a small task force of economic development, municipal and nonprofit officials to work out the details behind a proposed multipurpose facility at the college.
The team, headed by Dean of Continuing Education Jill M. Pippin, was formed in September and has met twice thus far to identify tasks associated with the research.
The college unveiled in February a feasibility study outlining the risks and rewards associated with building a $44.5 million multipurpose facility on the site where the shuttered Whispering Pines nursing home stands on Coffeen Street.
The proposed facility would include a $12.3 million higher education center, a $7 million field house and a $25 million events center, according to a statement released by the college.
It is not clear whether the facility would be contained within a single building or a complex of buildings.
According to the feasibility study, the field house would likely have retractable perimeter seating and flexible rectangular floor that can accommodate a variety of court sport activities; the higher education center would have flexible instruction space for JCC credit and non-credit coursework, particularly in the health sciences area; and the events center could host ticketed events, trade shows, private business functions and large-scale banquet functions.
Among the members of the task force are Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency CEO Donald C. Alexander, Jefferson County Director of Planning Donald A. Canfield, Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce CEO and President Lynn M. Pietroski, Watertown City Manager Sharon A. Addison and Watertown Family Y Executive Director Peter W. Schmitt.
The task force has an extensive list of assignments to be completed before its findings are to be presented to a larger group of community stakeholders, according to an email from Mrs. Pippin.
Were just trying to flush out what was originally brought to the table. ... Its really in its infancy stages, identifying where we need to dig deeper, Mrs. Pietroski said.
The county has already conducted research on a similar project in a nearby county, however.
On Sept. 5, a delegation of county representatives took a field trip to Onondaga Community College. There, JCC President Carole A. McCoy, Jefferson County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III, former Disabled Persons Action Organization Executive Director and CEO Joseph L. Rich, town of Watertown Supervisor Joel R. Bartlett, Watertown Family Y Branch Director Steve N. Rowell, Mr. Canfield and Mrs. Pietroski met with college officials to tour and learn about the SRC Arena, a 60,000-square-foot facility that was built recently on the OCC campus.
David W. Murphy, the senior vice president of College Affiliated Enterprises and Asset Management, was one of the OCC officials who met with the group.
Mr. Murphy was emphatic in his praise for the new arena, as well as for the renovation and expansion of an existing building and the installation of an athletic field at the college.
It was a necessary complement for our campus. It has served our community very, very well and served our students very, very well and thats what were here for, to serve those two constituencies, Mr. Murphy said.
The arena and the building expansion cost between $24 million and $25 million, according to Mr. Murphy. The field added an estimated $3 million to the cost of the overall project.
The projects were paid for with state grants, county funds and $3 million that the college raised on its own, according to Mr. Murphy.
The arena opened in December 2011 and a YMCA branch at the facility opened shortly thereafter, about January or February of 2012, Mr. Murphy said.
Roughly two-thirds of the events hosted at the arena and associated facilities are college and high school events, Mr. Murphy said. The arena has a 6 lane indoor track on the bottom floor and three multiuse courts on the infield of the track.
The college does charge rent for the use of its facilities, though the rate varies according to the organization and the type of event, he said.
The proposal to build the facility was included in the colleges capital plan several years ago, Mr. Murphy said.
JCC is building a 90,000-square-foot residence hall on campus, which is being funded by the Faculty Student Association through issuance of up to $25 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds. The facility is projected to cost $17.5 million.
The Jefferson County Board of Legislators approved a resolution last week to spend up to $7 million in county funds on a $14 million plan to build a study center and to renovate the library at the college.
The resolution will be forwarded to the State University of New York Construction Fund in Albany for evaluation. If the state approves the project, the county probably would borrow the $7 million over a period to be determined, according to Mr. Hagemann.
The county typically structures debt over 15-year periods, he said.
Mr. Murphy attributed the trend in large capital projects at community colleges to the desire that students have to live the kind of campus life that traditionally have been a part of four-year residential colleges.
As the cost of higher education continues to rise, community colleges are increasingly seen as a viable alternative to four-year schools, Mr. Murphy said.

Our government has established that 6 watts of vibration energy is the maximum sustainable operating condition a worker may be exposed to over a short period of time. In addition, OSHA has set 75 dB as the maximum noise level an operator can work in over a four-hour span. The truth is that these standards can be improved on to further ensure the health of workers and, potentially, to increase productivity at the same time.

The Future for Personal Noise DosimetersJuly 21, 2009 9:00 am | by Bob Selwyn, VP Sales & Marketing, Casella USA
Excessive workplace noise exposure is one of the major sources of industrial injuries in many industrialized countries. Noise is such a pervasive hazard that many of us become "used to" high levels and we forget that they can potentially impair our hearing. This will lead to social difficulties later in life if it is not identified and controlled as soon as possible.

New England now gets more than half its power from natural gas. Compare that to 10 years ago, when about 20 percent of the region's energy needs came from natural gas, and you get some idea of the huge paradigm shift that's occured due to the discovery of shale gas reserves in the U.S. Natural gas is cleaner, cheaper and more plentiful than sources like coal and oil. But with this increasing reliance on natural gas comes with some concerns: concerns that were expressed to Congress this week by Gordon van Welie. He's president and CEO of ISO New England, which operates the region's power grid, and gave testimony in Washington D.C. on Tuesday before a House subcommittee on energy. Van Welie explains the basis for his concerns in an interview with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.

handle screws kit/cup holder lug kit
Replacement screws kit for your phil&teds stroller handle.
This kit comes complete with all four nuts and bolts required to attach your handle to your buggy, plus cup holder attachment lug.
*This does not include the actual cup holder , which is sold separately.
Worst design ever
Written by: Ajs1
03. juni 20151/5
I have a Dash and there aren't cupholders made for it so Phil&teds have come up with this kit to make their existing cup holder fit. However the screws are too long so either you have a dangerous end of screw sticking out of your handle bar or you have a very loose cup holder hanging off the handle bar, which is therefore pointless. Terrible design

Information Security Expert Addresses Naval Academy Midshipmen on Cyber Threats
Posted on: January 16, 2014 08:00 EST by Jessica Clark
Hackers are getting more sophisticated and harder to combat.
That's likely the message most midshipmen took away with them after a lecture Jan. 14 by Kevin Mandia, founder and chief executive officer of the cybersecurity consulting firm Mandiant, which was recently acquired by FireEye, Inc.
A former Air Force intelligence officer, Mandia founded the company to help organizations detect and respond to computer intrusions.
Mandia's was just one in a series of lectures sponsored by the Naval Academy's Center for Cyber Security Studies, which works to enhance the education of midshipmen in all areas of cyber warfare. All midshipmen now take required classes in the basics of cybersecurity, and the academy introduced a new interdisciplinary cyber operations major last year.
Calling on more than 15 years of experience in the cybersecurity field, Mandia gave the midshipmen real-world examples of hacking activity to show them how it's done and, more importantly, how it's detected.
Cyber attacks are relatively easy to fall victim to, said Mandia, because e-mails sent by attackers look legitimate enough to convince recipients to open documents or links, launching malware that steals information from their systems. These systems then act as launching pads for hackers to infiltrate company networks.
"Right now if you're in any situation where you need to get information out of your country, you're going to use the internet to do it," said Mandia.
Which makes you vulnerable. Mandia's company has been tracking the ability to detect hackers since 1998 and found that it can take more than a year before a user realizes their system has been compromised.
"Imagine that. From the moment you've been compromised to the moment you're aware someone's been reading your e-mail and stealing your data, a whole year has gone by," he said. "That's a long time."
By that time the damage has already been done. These attacks are virtually undetectable by standard anti-virus programs so being compliant with your company's security policies and current on your system updates is no guarantee you won't be attacked.
While Mandia said these programs are still good for keeping your system running optimally, they're easily circumvented by hackers looking to steal information.
"Most of you, when your antivirus triggers, you probably think 'Thank God, antivirus prevented that intrusion.' Here's the reality: You've been compromised for eight months and the bad guys either a) used your machine to hack into other people or b) they've already taken whatever they wanted from your machine.
"It's just too easy to get an end user to do the wrong things on their computer," he added.
On the bright side, the more challenging it is to find combatants in cyber space, the more "fun" it is, said Mandia.
"That's why we're all sitting here," he told the midshipmen. "It's a lot more exciting to fight against this stuff on the frontlines than if it was easy."
Perhaps good news for midshipmen interested in a career in cyber security, the government remains the top detection mechanism for major breaches.
"That's just the way it is. It's an early warning system," said Mandia. "It doesn't mean they're spying on everyone all the time or that they know everything that's going on. It just so happens that they're locked into what other governments are doing when they hack our private sector, and they get to see it."
Which is just as well, since he also maintained that the next U.S. armed conflict will include a cyber component.
"This is here to stay," he said.

As Jaromir Jagr took apart the US during
this morning's IHF World Championship game, rumors circulated about a potential
NHL return for No. 68. The latest whispers are that the Penguins
reached out to Jagr to participate in an alumni golf tournament, and somehow
into a rumor that Jagr was considering joining Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin
with the Penguins next season. If Jagr does decide to return to
North America Pittsburgh is certainly a logical location, but there's been no
indication he's leaning towards an NHL return.
For all those of you wishing that Jagr would return to the
Rangers, don't hold your breath. New
York has made an obvious commitment to its
youngsters, and bringing Jagr back would be a pretty blatant clash of
philosophies. Don't get me wrong, if Jagr was willing to sign a
one-year deal he could still be very helpful for the Blueshirts. I
just don't think Rangers' brass would ever seriously consider it.
Jagr showed during the World Championships and the Winter
Olympics last year that he's still more than capable of playing against NHL
level competition. But it also must be noted that he always gives
his all during international tournaments when he represents the CzechRepublic,
but that wasn't always the case with the Rangers in the grueling NHL. At
his age and with so many miles on his legs, playing a full 82 game schedule
might be a lot to ask.
At 39-years-old, Jagr has undoubtedly lost a step. The
bigger international ice surface and less physical game are surely helping him
prolong his career. Jagr knows this, and if he truly intends to keep
playing for the foreseeable future, the safe money is on him staying
If Jagr does return to the NHL, he could certainly be
productive in a supporting role and on the power play, but he's not the player
he was. Of course, if he does end up joining Crosby in Pittsburgh, maybe he'll
pot 40 goals next year. Just don't expect to see him in blue.
- With the United States eliminated,
Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan, and Ryan McDonagh have played the last games of a
loooonnggg season. Particularly Stepan and McDonagh, who played deep
into last year during Wisconsin's run in the Frozen Four, then played in
Traverse City, training camp, preseason, the regular season, a playoff round, and
now the World Championships. That's a lot to ask from a couple of
rookies so here's hoping they take some significant time to rest up and heal in
the coming weeks and months.
- It's not a sure thing yet, but it certainly sounds like
the Islanders aren't going anywhere. The Isles revealed
a proposal for a new arena deal that would ensure they'll stay on Long
Island long-term. It's always fun to speculate on bringing
an NHL franchise back to Winnipegor Quebec, but I'm glad it's not going to be
the Islanders moving. The Rangers/Islanders rivalry is always
enjoyable and has plenty of history. I'm glad it's here to stay, especially
with both teams currently on the upswing.

The retirement world is largely focused on 401(k) and traditional defined benefit plans. But investors and financial advisers alike should be paying closer attention to something called a cash balance pension plan. Cash balance plans are the fastest-growing part of the defined-benefit pension universe and could become as numerous as 401(k) plans within the next few years, according to the trade publication Pension & Investments.
Consider: The number of such plans rose from 1,300 in 2000 to more than 7,600 in 2010, an average annual growth rate of around 20%, according to recent research from Sage Advisory Services. (See Sage Advisory's recent news release, "Cash balance plans challenge 401(k) supremacy.")
What's more, the number of participants nationwide in cash balance plans reached 11 million in 2011, and cash balance plan assets that year totaled $724 billion, according to the most recent Cash balance Research Report from the retirement-plan design firm Kravitz Inc. (Read a recent report from Kravitz, Cash Balance Retirement Plans Double Projected Growth Rate.")
What are cash balance plans, and what do you need to know about such plans should you have one or should one be in your future?

Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
Often misunderstood, the cash balance plan is becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. First, large firms are converting their defined benefit plans into cash balance plans as a way to cap their pension liabilities. Second, small- and midsize firms are starting to rely on these plans, which when used in combination with 401(k) plans, can help participants cut their current tax bill and sock away quite a bit of money for retirement.
Sage Advisory Services and others describe cash balance plans as hybrids of a defined benefit plan (think: a traditional pension) and a defined contribution plan such as a 401(k). Dan Kravitz, the president of Kravitz Inc. said cash balance plans combine the high contribution limits of a defined benefit plan (employers can contribute on behalf the employee an amount much greater than the maximum an employee can contribute to a 401(k) plan—which is $17,500) with the flexibility and portability of a 401(k) plan.
The Labor Department puts it this way: "A cash balance plan is a defined benefit plan that defines the benefit in terms that are more characteristic of a defined contribution plan. In other words, a cash balance plan defines the promised benefit in terms of a stated account balance." Read the department's FAQs About Cash balance Pension Plans.
As of 2011, the 10 largest cash balance plans belong to International Business Machines Corp IBM, -1.01% ., AT&T Inc. T, -0.24% , The Boeing Co. BA, -0.28% , Ford Motor Co. F, -0.27% , Alcatel Lucent USA Inc. ALU, -2.43% , 3M Co. MMM, -0.63% , Northrop Grumman Corp. NOC, -0.11% , United Technologies Corp. UTX, -1.21% , Honeywell International Inc. HON, -1.66% , and Citigroup Inc. C, -0.14% , according to Kravitz' 2013 Cash Balance Research Report. (IBM's plan has been frozen since 2008, but it remains the largest cash balance plan.)
Even states are trying to get in on the trend. The Arnold Foundation, which was founded by John Arnold, a former Enron executive, has partnered with Pew Center on the States to advocate for cash balance plans for state government employees. (In January, however, a Louisiana district court judge struck down as violating the state constitution a recent law there that aims to establish a cash balance plan for some employees in three of the state's pension funds.)
Offering a guaranteed return
With a cash balance plan, the plan sponsor contributes money into a hypothetical account for each employee based on a set interest crediting rate (for example, the U.S. 30-year Treasury bond rate) and a percentage of the employee's pay, according to Sage Advisor. That crediting rate essentially represents a guaranteed rate of growth for each employee's balance.
Kravitz said cash balance plans are IRS-qualified under ERISA, and must pass a range of IRS fairness testing requirements to make sure that the plans don't benefit owners at the expense of rank-and-file employees.
In the main, advisers and experts seem quite fond of these plans. "I am positive about cash balance plans," said Michael Angelucci of Angelucci Wealth Management. "It's a pretty good benefit in an environment where most employer plans are transferring all risk to the employee."
"I emphasize to participants that they are receiving an employer contribution to an account that is guaranteed to grow," said Angelucci. The value of your 401(k), by contrast, is likely to rise or fall based on market returns, your asset allocation, and your saving behavior.
Do understand, however, that your cash balance account is a notional account that is part of a larger pooled trust, said Alex Kuhel, a cash balance practice leader at actuarial consulting group Clarity in Numbers. But the vested balance is guaranteed.
No investment decisions for savers
Cash balance participants—unlike those in a 401(k) plan—don't have to worry about how to invest the money in their account. Participants have no investment discretion; such decisions are made by the plan's trustees, said Kuhel.
"On the accumulation front, there's not much a participant can do," said José Martin Jara, an ERISA managing director at the law firm Dentons. "As with traditional defined benefit plans, under a cash balance plan the employer is responsible for funding the plan and investments in the plan."

California State University Launches Bold Graduation Initiative to Increase Number of Students Earning Degrees
Effort also aimed at helping more underserved students complete college
CSU Aims to Increase Number of Students Earning Degrees
Claudia Keith (562) 951-4800
(January 26, 2010) –California State University will announce a long-term graduation initiative at tomorrow's Board of Trustees meeting with the goal of increasing the system's graduation rates and helping underrepresented students to complete college. The graduation initiative involves all 23 CSU campuses, and is expected to raise six-year graduation rates by eight percent by 2016, as well as cut in half the existing gap in degree attainment by CSU's underrepresented students.
"As the largest public university system in the country, it is our responsibility to ensure that we do everything possible to help our students be successful in earning their degree," said CSU Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer Jeri Echeverria. "The goal of this initiative is to not only increase the number of students who complete their degree, but to also help those from traditionally underrepresented communities who may need additional support to finish. After all, that is the end goal – a college degree."
Currently, CSU's overall six-year graduation rate is approximately 46 percent, and the goal of the graduation initiative is to bring it up to approximately 54 percent, which is the top quartile of national averages of similar institutions.
"The Obama Administration has set a goal for the United States to be the leader in college degree holders by the year 2020," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "The CSU graduates 90,000 students into the workforce each year, and we cannot reach this national goal without the CSU increasing the number of students that we graduate each year."
Each CSU campus will work on an individual plan with specific measures designed to reach their own graduation goal. Campuses already in the top quartile for graduation rates have committed to increasing an additional six percent, as well as cut in half the gap for underserved students' degree attainment.
While still being finalized, campus plans are expected to include a variety of creative solutions and best practices to help students including early start and summer bridge programs designed to prepare students for college level work before they enter college as freshmen; degree audits and early warning advising to ensure students take the correct courses and appropriate number of credits; online roadmaps to graduation, and other student support services.
Other actions could include mandating earlier declaration of a major, decreasing the number of general education courses, curtailing student withdrawals from classes, increased use of online learning and technology, block registration for all freshmen, and other remedies designed to help students stay on track.
"A big part of the challenge is that our student profile is not what most think of as a traditional college student," continued Echeverria. "The average age of our students is 24, about 70 percent of them work, and a third of our students are the first in their family to attend college. All of these factors play a part in the approach that we are taking and our ultimate success in supporting students to achieve their degree."
The graduation initiative will be heard as part of the Committee on Education Policy scheduled for Wednesday, January 27 beginning at 8 a.m. with the item expected to be heard at approximately 9 a.m.

CANTON - Dairylea Cooperatives board of directors voted Wednesday to merge with Dairy Farmers of America, a move expected to be well-received by about 150 farmers in the north country who are members of the Syracuse-based cooperative.
The decision to merge with the national cooperative based in Kansas City, Mo., will take effect April 1, if Dairyleas members vote to approve the plan during a special meeting in February. DFAs cooperative has more than 13,000 members across 48 states, while Dairylea has about 1,200 members across the Northeast.
Dairylea, a 105-year-old cooperative, has been a member cooperative of DFA since 2002. The merger is expected to provide members with access to expanding national and international milk markets, annual stock dividends based on milk production and tax benefits, according to a release.
Sackets Harbor dairy farmer Ronald C. Robbins, who attended Wednesdays meeting, said the merger will enable members to receive payments for their Dairylea stock, which will be rolled over to DFA. Farmers would receive a cash payment based on a portion of their Dairylea stock if the merger takes effect, he said.
The stock we contributed to Dairylea didnt have a lot of value its only value was the supply of milk its members brought to the side of the road every day, Mr. Robbins said. Our retained earnings will be rolled over into DFA, and the bulk of farms wont have to pay for deductions anymore to meet stock requirements.
Mr. Robbins said DFA paid a cash dividend of 7 cents per hundredweight last year to farms based on their annual milk production.
By contrast, we got nothing from Dairylea, he said.
If approved, the merger shouldnt have an immediate impact on milk prices for farmers, Mr. Robbins said. But it will provide them with more national and global opportunities to market their milk.
The number of exports for dairy products has grown substantially, and we wouldnt have the milk price where it is today without them, he said. So when a company like DFA takes the initiative to be a player in world markets, it helps all of us.
Cape Vincent dairy farmer Lyle J. Wood also attended Wednesdays meeting, though he is not a member of Dairylea. Woods Farm, a 950-cow dairy operation, ships milk directly to H.P. Hood in LaFargeville.
Mr. Wood predicted Dairyleas merger with DFA will attract members who now do business with other regional milk cooperatives, including Agri-Mark and Jefferson Bulk.
Dairylea doesnt own any processing plants, but DFA owns about 60 of their own and has much greater access for farmers, he said. Theyre the greatest shipper of milk in the U.S. and internationally known, so it gives members a huge advantage for marketing milk.
Dairylea and DFA already have a joint agreement with Great Lakes Cheese to supply milk to the Adams manufacturing plant.
Through the merger would consolidate Dairyleas operations, no employees will lose their jobs under the plan. Dairylea employs 300 people in the Syracuse area.
Six seats would be added to DFAs board of directors to represent its expanded Northeast membership. Its Northeast Area Council would operate under a structure similar to Dairyleas board of directors.
Before the cooperatives vote in 2014, a series of informational sessions will be hosted to provide its membership with an overview of the proposed merger.

Just 4 hours after our last "Which New Broadcast Show Will Be Canceled Next?" poll, both 666 Park Avenue and Last Resort were canceled by ABC. 666 Park Avenue was #2 in that poll, while Last Resort was #4. The season's dinner menu for the Cancellation Bear has also included Partners, Made In Jersey, Animal Practice, Private Practice, and Next Caller.
Which show will be next on the menu of the Cancellation Bear?
I've also added the "A show not on this list" option if you think a veteran show will be canceled next.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
Because comment thread lawyers are everywhere, let's be clear that for the purposes of this poll "canceled" means removed from its initially scheduled timeslot, either off the air entirely or rescheduled to a burn off timeslot, even if the network *claims* the show will return later (two seasons ago those who answered The Whole Truth in the "next to be canceled" poll ended up being correct, it was removed first among the shows noted and never returned, despite initial ABC claims to the contrary).
What's your guess?
Vote as many times as you want!

From Mexico to Canada on foot in 123 days
CRESWELL, Ore. - Noah Strycker walked from Mexico to Canada in 123 days.
"It seemed impossible when I started and when I finished, I looked back, and it still seemed impossible," said Strycker.
The 25-year-old South Eugene High School and Oregon State University graduate got started May 19 at the border with Mexico.
He arrived at the Canadian border on Sunday, Sept. 18.
Averaging 21.6 miles per day for the 2,660-mile Pacific Crest Trail, Strycker said he wore out five pairs of trail running shoes and a dozen pair of socks.
"It was an incredible journey, with many highs and lows literally and figuratively," he wrote to KVAL News, "from the Southern California desert through the snowy High Sierra, dusty Northern California wilderness, mosquito-thick Oregon, and lush and rugged Washington North Cascades.
"I ate countless thousands of calories of dehydrated food," he said, "had encounters with cougars and bears and rattlesnakes, forded raging frigid streams up to my chest, met a lot of characters and a few trail legends, routinely got lost and sunk in and fell down in the snow, and enjoyed every minute!"
He said 300 hikers started the trail this year. He estimated less than 50 would finish due to this year's deep snowpack.
"A lot of hikers are still out there, walking northward, hoping to reach the border before the snow falls," he said.
Strycker, an associate editor at "Birding" magazine and author of the book "Among Penguins: A Bird Man in Antarctica," said his next adventure is on the East Coast: he is headed for a field job on Metinic Island, Maine.
Maybe he'll hike the Appalachian Trail for an encore.
