Ecigarette Tax Initiative In Massachusetts Scrapped
In Massachusetts, the ecigarette tax initiative has been scrapped by the aides of Governor Deval Patrick. The decision to drop this initiative occurred when they gauged the political appetite of lawmakers and found that there is only limited interest that lawmakers could provide. Testing The Waters Officials of Patrick's administration has been preoccupied during the previous weeks as they sought to determine if legislature members will approve or go along with the possibility of an ecigarette tax initiative.

USU's business school selects well-known UofU researcher for presidential chair position
The Herald Journal
The Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University has selected a University of Utah professor known for his research in workplace dynamics for one of its distinguished presidential chair positions.
Scott Schaefer, a professor of finance at the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business, began his professorship at USU this semester, the school of business announced in a news release Tuesday. He is teaching an undergraduate managerial economics class and leads several seminars for faculty and students.
"The decisive factors in selecting Dr. Schaefer were his pioneering research at the intersection of finance and economics, which is a great fit for our department, and his reputation as an engaging teacher," said Tyler Bowles, head of the economics and finance department.

By SHERILL SHAWContributing writer
When Forney, Texas resident Sarah Kathleen McCool and her husband Jesse traveled, they picked up postcards, just as many of us do. Later, when daughter Joann and grandson Johnson joined them in their travels, they picked up postcards too. After Jesse retired in 1974, the couple traveled in their motor home, acquiring more postcards, and trading some with other couples they met along the way. Soon they belonged to postcard trading clubs. Before they knew it, Sarah Kathleen and her family had amassed a postcard collection of over 14,000 cards.
After her mother passed away in 1989, Joann collected a few more postcards, and then took on the daunting task of organizing and archiving all those cards. She placed them all in plastic sleeves, sorted them and boxed them together. When Joann passed away in 1995, the collection was inherited by Johnson, his wife, Catherine, and son, Colin.
The young Knowles family moved into Joann's house and the cards sat in their boxes in various closets in the house until 2004 when Catherine Knowles found one old postcard of a mansion that is now a small library in Odessa, Del. She emailed them asking if they would like to have the card.
"They immediately accepted that card and all of Delaware," she said. "Then I discovered they had an entire wing devoted to DelMarVa which was a new word to me, but it gave me the opportunity to donate all my Delaware, Maryland and Virginia cards."
That was the beginning of something big. The family decided to donate the cards to various libraries and historical societies. Now they are donated, along with an extensive inventory list that Catherine painstakingly creates on the computer. When complimented on the lists she says "it makes the task so much more pleasurable since I've now learned they are of great value to researchers and scholars."
The cards have been donated far and wide, including to the College of Eastern Utah Library.
So far, the largest donations have been to the University of North Texas (all of Texas, except Dallas which went to the Dallas Historical Society, 1,274 and 177, respectively); Duke University (both NC and all the foreigns, exclusive of Great Britain, the latter 1,400 cards and former 134); New York Public Library (all New York City, 199 cards): New York Historical Society (rest of New York, 399 cards); Boston Public Library (all Massachusetts 497 cards); New England Historical Society (all New England except Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, 610 cards); Pennsylvania Historical Society (all Pennsylvania, 268). Others include Purdue University, the Chicago Public Library, the Nashville Public Library, the Detroit Public Library, the St. Louis Public Library, and several more.
This year alone the family has donated over 6,000 cards with plans to donate a similar number next year and the remaining cards in 2008.
And now the prestigious list includes the CEU Library. Catherine Knowles contacted Catherin Alaei in the library in November to ask if CEU would like the Utah cards - 72 in all. The collection, which includes cards from National Parks, Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo and others, range in age beginning in the early 1900's. One is a "folder" containing 22 early images of Utah and Colorado, four of them of Soldiers Summit and Castle Gate.
All the Knowles' ask for in return for the donation is a letter of acknowledgement from the various institutions to Colin, who is the only great-grandchild of the McCool's and the only grandchild of Joann. The letters are hung, for now, in the "Hall of Frame" in the Knowles home. Later, Catherine says she will place them in a scrapbook.
"My vision is to have a scrapbook of all the letters as Colin's legacy from his paternal grandmother and great-grandmother." She states, "Perhaps someday he can travel with his family to many of these institutions and show them their heritage that has positively impacted so many people."
When asked why CEU was selected over the other libraries in the state Catherine had a good reply.
"One of the things I've learned in my donation process is to look for a library or historical society that has direct email contact information for special collections," she stated. "Only 50 percent of institutions without direct email addresses respond, while almost 100 percent who have those contacts reply back."
She also credits CEU with having the quickest 'yes' response out of everyone she has offered a collection to.
The collection is the first of its kind at the CEU Library. It has been placed in an archival binder and will be housed in a locked cabinet in the Special Collections room.
"This is a wonderful piece of Utah history" says Barbara Steffee, CEU library director. "It gives us a different aspect of history than we've had in the library before. Some of the postcards show Salt Lake City without paved streets, another shows West High School as a new building. Checkerboard Mesa in Zion's Canyon is shown with an old 'woody' station wagon driving down the road. What a treasure this collection is."
Anyone wishing to see the collection can visit the library and ask at the front desk. Break hours vary, so call the library first at 613-5209 for hours.

Exelon/ComEd/United Way Stay in School Initiative shares results as program enters eighth year
CHICAGO — For the sixth consecutive year, public high school seniors who actively participated in an innovative afterschool program created by Exelon, ComEd and United Way of Metropolitan Chicago achieved a graduation rate of more than 90 percent, exceeding the 65 percent average for seniors in Chicago Public Schools.
Chicago high school students help kick off the eighth year of the Exelon/ComEd/United Way Stay in School program at the Museum of Science and Industry.
Students in the Exelon/ComEd/United Way Stay in School Initiative had grade promotion and graduation rates of 85 percent and 92 percent respectively in the 2012-2013 academic year. These and other successes were unveiled on Sept. 28, at the program's annual kickoff and report card presentation at the Museum of Science and Industry.
The 2013 report card captures data from the 331 core students who were most active in the Stay in School Initiative and tracks the program's progress and effectiveness in keeping students on the path to graduation. Other report card highlights include:• 90 percent of Stay in School students improved at least one letter grade in core courses (math, science and English), an 18 percent improvement from last year. • 78 percent of Stay in School students participated in postsecondary education activities (preparing for qualifying exams, such as the ACT).• 72 percent of Stay in School students participated in leadership-based activities (defined as non-violent conflict resolution and participation in out-of-school leadership programs).
Since its inception, the program has served approximately 15,000 students ages 13 to 20. It will serve more than 2,000 additional students during the 2013-2014 school year.
Two community-based afterschool agencies have been a part of the Stay in School Initiative since it began: B.U.I.L.D Inc., serving students from the Humboldt Park/West Town neighborhoods, and Youth Guidance, serving the Austin neighborhood. As a result of the program's success, four new afterschool agencies serving four different communities are joining the initiative this year: Corazon Community Services in Cicero, Gary Comer Youth Center in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, Project: Vision in Chinatown and Bridgeport, and Young Men's Educational Network in North Lawndale. These agencies were selected because students from these communities have some of the highest dropout and truancy rates in the city.
"One of the indicators we measure at United Way is if students feel like they have someone at school they care about and vice versa," said Mandee Polonsky, Director of Education at United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. "As students get older, it's important they have mentors and people in the community they know care about them. Through the Exelon-ComEd Stay in School Initiative, students are paired with mentors and tutors who fit their personalities and needs so they feel like they have a real partner on their path to success."
Exelon, its subsidiary ComEd and United Way created the Stay in School Initiative in 2005 to address the numerous issues preventing teens from graduating high school. In 2007, former U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez presented Exelon the "Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership" in recognition of the program. The Ron Brown Award is the only presidential award that honors companies "for the exemplary quality of their relationships with employees and their communities."
All six afterschool agencies provide a holistic suite of programs for students and their families that includes tutoring, social services, leadership and social engagement, skill-building and parental workshops. Employee volunteers from Exelon and ComEd provide one-on-one mentoring to the students during a seven-month long workshop series.
"The Stay in School Initiative has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment for my hard work and results in school," said Gladis Vejar, a junior from Hermosa who attends Lakeview High School. "Plus, the mentors from Exelon and ComEd allow us to gain real world experience and understand how success in the classroom will make us better prepared for life outside of high school."
"The data from this year's report card shows that with the right combination of afterschool activities and mentoring from our employees, students from at-risk communities can succeed," said Steve Solomon, vice president of corporate relations at Exelon. "Every year we look for new ways to evolve the partnership and keep the curriculum fresh. The expansion of the Stay in School Initiative this year allows us to increase the footprint of the program and continue to deliver services that are vital to the academic success of the next generation of students."
Stay in School leverages Exelon's cultural partnerships and sponsorships to provide participating students with various enrichment and recognition opportunities throughout the year. Exelon also runs a companion job skills development workshop series that will provide up to 15 paid summer internships at the end of this school year for participating students. The internships are divided among Exelon, ComEd, United Way and the afterschool agencies.
Exelon and ComEd have contributed more than $2.8 million to fund the Stay in School Initiative since its creation.

Requiem For A Rodeo Clown
In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Matt Drudge appeared on The Alex Jones Show, where he pushed bizarre conspiracies and falsehoods, and attacked Hillary Clinton as "old" and "sick." The Drudge Report is a big driver of traffic to Jones' Infowars website and the interview cemented their relationship, with Drudge and a "star-struck" Jones heavily praising each other.
Simon Conway, an Iowa conservative radio host who frequently hosts Republican presidential candidates, has consistently attacked and promoted falsehoods about Planned Parenthood in recent months following the release of heavily edited videos by an anti-abortion group.
Conservative media are distorting an answer given by Hillary Clinton during a debate in the 2008 Democratic primary to falsely claim that Clinton generally opposed the federal regulation of firearms during the 2008 race, but in a reversal now, favors such federal laws. In fact, in the 2008 debate answer cited by conservative media, Clinton was talking about one specific policy -- whether states should require or not require the registration of handguns -- and her current support for federal laws to improve background checks on gun sales and ban assault weapons are consistent with her campaign positions in 2008. Clinton's recent call to repeal the federal law that grants civil immunity to the gun industry is also consistent with her vote against the law as a U.S. Senator in 2005.
In the wake of the September 29 hearing by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on federal funding of Planned Parenthood, several Fox News hosts and conservative pundit Dana Loesch claimed that Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards testified that 86 percent of Planned Parenthood's revenue comes from providing abortion services. PunditFact examined Richards' testimony and rated that claim "false."

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Capt. Guy Adams, second in command at the Carbon County Sheriff's Department since 1999, has resigned. His resignation is effective Friday.
Adams, a 21-year veteran with the department, tendered his resignation to Sheriff James Cordova on Monday.
The captain is scheduled for arraignment in Salt Lake's Third District Court next Monday morning on three misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief. Two of the counts are Class A, the third is Class B.
The charges stem from the scratching of the hoods and doors of three vehicles parked in a fenced and gated lot behind a South Salt Lake auto repair shop on Jan. 5.
Adams and Cordova had been at the shop for repairs on a department vehicle that day.
According to information filed by the Salt Lake County Attorney's office on Feb. 15, surveillance video showed Adams walking and standing beside each vehicle near the places where each had been scratched.
South Salt Lake Police Detective Chad Leetham also stated that the video showed Adams making an "up and down motion" on the hood of a 2012 GMC Sierra where damage was later found.
The detective's statement added that Adams is the only person on the video seen next to the damaged vehicles.
The information also notes the statement of Sheriff Cordova to investigators, in which the sheriff said he confronted Adams about the damages and Adams replied, "I don't think I did...I don't remember."
Cordova also told investigators that he called the shop owner to discuss the matter, and that while he was on the phone Adams twice stated that he would pay the damages to make the charges go away. When told of the video, Adams again said he could not remember the incident.

It's important for people of all ages, especially seniors, to stay active. According to the Centers for Disease Control, being physically active can reduce your risk of dying from heart disease and decreases the risk for colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. Physical activity also helps control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints; relieves the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and can decrease the need for hospitalizations, physician visits and medications. Indeed, there's a lot riding on incorporating exercise into a lifestyle.
There's no better time than now to start exercising. Be sure to check with a doctor before increasing physical activity, especially if there is a chronic disease or family history of chronic disease, chest pain, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, blood clots, infections or fever, joint swelling, hip surgery or a hernia.
Here are some tips to help get started.
Don't just jump into a fitness routine. First, stretch the arms, legs and back. Start off slowly, gradually increasing the pace of the exercise. Don't do too much too soon or injury could result. For example, the AARP suggests starting with 10 minutes of walking before going to 20 and then 30 minutes. For a strength-training program using weights and machines, talk to a fitness instructor on how much weight to lift and how to use the machines properly.
Exercise should make a person feel better, not worse. A little soreness, discomfort or fatigue is normal. Listen to the body. If light headedness occurs, a shortness of breath, a sudden, severe headache, are sweating excessively, or have pains in the chest, stomach or anywhere else, exercising should be halted. If symptoms persist, contact a doctor.
If the person is on medication or has a condition that alters their heart rate, don't use the pulse as a judge of how fast the heart is or should be beating.
Wear the proper protective equipment for the activity. When biking, wear a helmet. If in-line skating is the choice, wear a helmet as well as knee and elbow pads. Protective gear should be of good quality and fit properly. It may be expensive, but it's an expense that is well worth it.
Watch out for the elements. If it's hot, exercise in the early morning or early evening when it's cooler, or stay in the shade and wear lightweight clothing. If it's cold, dress in layers, and be careful of ice and snow.
It's especially important to stay hydrated when engaged in exercise that makes you sweat. Drink before, during and after exercise to prevent dehydration.
A cool down is just as important as a warm up. Stretch the arms, legs and back to bring the heart rate back to its normal level.

Policy workshop in Upper Austria: Policies to foster the transformative power of service innovation – towards a common roadmap for Upper Austria Zveřejněno:: 11/04/2014, Poslední aktualizace: 13/05/2014
The regional work done in ESIC has reached the peer review phase. The aim of the ESIC activities carried out in all model demonstrator regions has been to assist regional policy-makers to test, update and improve their existing policies as well as to boost emerging industries by transformative service innovation. Via the expert analysis and regional self-assessment the summary assessment reports have been finalised by the ESIC consortium. The peer review phase, in turn, encourages policy learning and provides external input into the policy development of the region and leads eventually towards regional policy recommendations.
On the 25-26 February 2014 more than 15 regional stakeholders gathered for a 1.5-day lively workshop hosted by TMG Upper Austria to discuss how a common transformation through service innovation strategy or roadmap could be given shape. Participants included representatives from Industry, Academia and policy-making and policy agencies (such as the Austrian Federal Development and Financing Bank (AWS), the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), (Technologie- und Marketinggesellschaft m.b.H (TMG). Invited experts and peers from other regions, apart from the ESIC team, included Jochen Barth (Service Science Factory, NL), Irene Ek (Growth Analysis, Sweden) and Mette Abrahamsen (Service Cluster Denmark, Denmark). The main objective of the workshop was to identify how Upper Austria, as a heavily industrialised region, can benefit more from transformation through service innovation and to sketch the contours of the requested strategy. The programme contained three sections to arrive at input for such a joint strategy.
Upper Austria consistently ranks as Austria's most competitive region. Manufacturing is dominant in this region, and particularly the automotive, mechanical engineering, metal processing, chemicals, plastics, paper, wood and automation sectors. The region has invested for some years already in a process for bringing together various stakeholders including firms, academia and government institutes, to explore how services and service innovation can help to increase its industry's strengths. This process of 'large-scale experimentation' is now gaining momentum, there is a clear request in the new regional economic and research programme (Innovative Upper Austria 2020) launched 22 January 2014 to develop a service strategy or roadmap that could spur transformation in the manufacturing strongholds in Upper Austria. The activities of ESIC are aimed at supporting this transformation process in Upper Austria.
Dr. Michael Strugl, Minister of Economy State of Upper Austria, stated that "It is imperative for the transformation of the Upper Austrian manufacturing industries to develop more service-inclusive business models. The development of a service strategy as announced in new regional economic and research programme "Innovative Upper Austria" is exactly focused on facilitating this transformation. The whole ESIC exercise is very helpful in formulating this agenda, fuelling it with good ideas and suggestions and having people from industry, academia and policy working on this challenge together."
First best practices and challenges facing Upper Austria regarding transformation through service innovation where discussed in the peer review. It was evident that academia, industry and policymakers in Upper Austria see the need for a change and share the view that smart combinations of manufacturing and innovative services are key to the future fortune of the region and also see the need for a change. There is clearly an understanding that the key challenge is switching to a service inclusive business models (and having customers pay for services some of which they have received for free so far). The quite advanced thinking regarding transformation through service innovation is also reflected in policy actions, initiatives from industry and academia that are already running, but not necessarily in a coordinated way. However, it was also observed, as illustrated in the ESIC report, that the current rich policy mix is in need for a refocus and more coordination.
Secondly, best practices from other regions including Finland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands were presented and discussed including examples of manufacturing firms that have gone through transformation processes that local firms such as Rosenbauer (the manufacturer of firefighting equipment that presented its case as well) are experiencing right now. What was evident that these are lengthy processes. In terms of policy-making it was clear that it also makes sense to carefully refocus and reword existing policies and look for fruitful cooperation between the regional and national level.
A list of practical suggestions made by both experts and local stakeholders during the first day proved useful for kicking off the second day of the workshop where the contours of a type of practical actions needed for giving shape to a transformation through services strategy for Upper Austria were discussed. Starting point were six suggestions made in the ESIC report that were clearly recognised. To these were added the need for funding and awareness raising. A methodology for translating the resulting 8 categories of suggestion into practical actions was agreed upon and will form the basis for the ESIC policy report. There is no consensus yet on what actions are most needed and how to activate and coordinate local actors and initiatives best, although there seemed to be much support for the flagship proposal in the form of service factory for industrial renewal in combination with a refocus of the current policy mix. The Tobacco Factory in Linz is possible a good place to start such a flagship initiative where also the workshop ended with an inspiring guided visit to the Tobacco Factory. The discussion will continue with policy briefs.

Modeled after the U.S. Army Chinook, this is the remote controlled helicopter that flies easily even when a beginner is on the stick. Its exceptional stability is provided by two pairs of contra-rotating coaxial rotors that cancel the effects of angular momentum and provide gyroscopic in-air stability to keep the copter balanced during flight. Its three-channel 2.4 GHz remote provides digital proportional control of rotor speed for flights as high as 164'; trim controls provide further tuning for pitch and yaw. Faithfully depicting the iconic 1960s workhorse, its camouflage-pattern fuselage is detailed with four windows on each side and a turboshaft engine on either side of its rear rotor cowling. Its rechargeable battery provides five- to seven-minute flight times from a one-hour charge using its AC adapter. Requires four AA batteries. Ages 14 and up. 11" L x 3" W x 6 1/2" H. (3 oz.)

The Rangers spoiled Phoenix's lone appearance at MSG this season with a 5-2 victory with play reminiscent of the team's early season success.
From the special teams to defensive zone coverage, the Rangers were sharper and it showed throughout most of the game.
Opportunities were created offensively by harder play on the boards and more direct passing and shooting. Throughout the last couple games, the Rangers had gotten away from the "get the puck to the net" mentality that accounted for so many of their goals.
Artem Anisimov opened the scoring early for the Rangers with a slick spinning shot to the opposite post, playing on the fourth line alongside Donald Brashear and Brian Boyle.
Marian Gaborik then continued his hot streak with a power play goal from the far faceoff circle that left everyone shaking their heads in disbelief. Brandon Dubinsky made a cross ice pass to Gaborik who took a one timer and snuck the puck in just under the crossbar on the short side.
Perhaps the only four inches that goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov wasn't covering.
Gaborik tallied on the passing side as well, feeding Vinny Prospal who cut to the net and slipped the puck in five-hole on a give-and-go.
But the Slovokian winger wasn't done.
Midway through the second period, Gaborik would put home another power play goal for his second of the game and third point of the night.
A tense moment occurred as Gaborik left the ice late in the third period as he appeared to tweak his leg. No update on his status is available.
On the defensive side of the puck, the group stepped up as a whole and looked much cleaner at both ends of the rink as well.
While Henrik Lundqvist still had to face 30 shots, the bulk were from odd angles and generally well protected by the defense.
"I think tonight we were off to a really good start," said Lundqvist. "They are a fast team."
"They skate a lot and move the puck a
lot. We did a good job."
Matching Phoenix's speed and intensity would be a challenge for the Rangers, who lacked both of those qualities with inconsistent efforts against San Jose, New Jersey, and Montreal. Much of this relied on the consistent two-way play of the Rangers' defensemen.
During the three-game aberration, the Rangers defense was spotty at best and lost a lot of the two-way flow that made them a successful group early in the season. While their defensive zone play still needs sharpening, they regained much of that movement last night.
"We were better at it. I think we gave up 11 or 12
scoring chances but we were much better away from the puck," said Head Coach John Tortorella. " The second
goal was the one we got caught changing and a couple of people leaving the
zone…we were sloppy there but for the most part we were pretty good as far as
those types of situations."
The effort was not for a total of 60 minutes, it was more like 56 minutes as the Rangers fell asleep at a 4 - 0 lead nearing the end of the second period. Phoenix got a couple quick goals to make the third period interesting.
But they regrouped and played a calm and composed third period.
Enver Lisin put the game out of reach with a slap shot goal from just inside the blueline on former Ranger goaltender Jason LaBarbera.
One facet of the game did not necessarily improve for the Rangers: their penalties. The team took six penalties, a number a little higher than they would like.
The Rangers head to Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday night to face John Tavares and the Islanders for the first time this season.

It's been 30 years since Clark Griswold first gathered his family and set out on a driving vacation from Chicago to California, and long drives with your family have certainly improved since that time. How did families survive three days in the car together without iPhones and podcasts and DVD screens on backseats and zoned air conditioning and cruise control?
Fortunately you'll never have to experience that yourself, and instead we can all bask in our good fortune while laughing at the Griswold's bad luck.
So join us on our quest for fun down Holiday Roooaoaoaoaooaaad, where we're all guaranteed to end up whistling Zipadeedoodah out of our assholes! (Henri Mazza)

A top SUNY official says the board of trustees has considered, but not passed, a budget model that could strip SUNY Potsdam of more than one-fifth of its state funding.
Brian G. Hutzley, SUNY vice chancellor for financial services, said the board lacked a quorum last week to vote on a resolution accepting a new budget allocation model.
It made it through the finance committee, but it did not go to the full board, he said. Theyll be meeting shortly to sign off on a bunch of resolutions.
The new model, which emphasizes federally funded research and graduate programs, would be a body blow to SUNY Potsdam after it suffered a drop in graduate enrollment that caused a $600,000 deficit this school year.
The first resolution supports the model and the components of the model, Mr. Hutzley said. The board is not approving the numbers yet because they are not final.
According to recent estimates, in the 2013-14 budget, SUNY Potsdams state budget allocation would decrease from $12.65 million to $9.92 million, a $2.73 million or 21.6 percent reduction. Mr. Hutzley said the second resolution would help campuses such as SUNY Potsdam make the transition to the new model.
It is in support of transitional funds and a transition plan with campuses that sit down with SUNY to request three years, he said. The support is to help them get stronger – enrollment and efficiency type things.
SUNY campuses would submit plans to Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher for the strategic use of transition funds to address funding gaps by increasing their enrollment, the amount of federally funded research, or consolidated or shared administrative services. After a review, the chancellors office would distribute the funds.
It is what a system does and a board of trustees does make every campus stronger, Mr. Hutzley said.
In some cases, comprehensive and technical campuses might benefit from the transition because they finally will be able to access funds from the SUNY Research Foundation, Mr. Hutzley said.
That piece of the pie, theyll be able to compete for it, he said. In the end it will make the comprehensive and tech schools stronger in research.
State funding for state-operated campuses is $780 million, and $7.3 million of that would be diverted from comprehensive campuses such as SUNY Potsdam to university centers at Binghamton, Buffalo and Stony Brook. Technical colleges such as SUNY Canton would take a $2.7 million reduction, and almost $10 million would be taken from medical schools and the College of Environmental Science and Forestry to fund a $20 million increase for the university centers.
Mr. Hutzley said the new budget model was not an attempt to diminish SUNYs emphasis on its comprehensive and technical college campuses.
If you look at the details behind the changes, there are comprehensive campuses that are gaining, there are tech campuses that are gaining and there are university centers that are not gaining, he said. It all depends on what is happening on those individual campuses, their performance and changes over the past years.
Mr. Hutzley said that when other funding, such as receipts from tuition, is factored in, no campus will lose money under the new model.
Theres no reason there should be any loss of service or jobs, he said. Students pay tuition; that tuition goes to that campus. As one campus grows and another declines, the funding hasnt followed that. The money has to follow the students.
The SUNY board of trustees is scheduled to meet Jan. 14 and 15, but a special meeting could be called in the interim to vote on the resolutions.

Thailand has more than its fair share of scams, but most are easily avoided with a modicum of common sense.
More a nuisance than a danger, a common scam by touts, taxi drivers and tuk-tuk drivers in Thailand is to wait by important monuments and temples and waylay Western travelers, telling them that the site is closed for a Buddhist holiday, repairs or a similar reason.
The 'helpful' driver will then offer to take the traveler to another site, such as a market or store. Travelers who accept these offers will often end up at out-of-the-way markets with outrageous prices - and no way to get back to the center of town where they came from.
Always check at the front gate of the site you're visiting to make sure it's really closed.
Avoid any tuk-tuks in Bangkok. Tuk-tuk drivers might demand much higher price than agreed, or they might take you to a sex show, pretending they didn't understand the address (they get commissions from places).
For the same reason, avoid drivers who propose their services without being asked, especially near major tourist attractions.
Don't buy any sightseeing tours at the airport. If you do, they will phone several times to your hotel in order to remind you about the tour.
During the tour, you will be shortly taken to a small temple, without a guide, and then one shop after another (they get commission).
They might refuse to take you back home until you see all the shops.
On your way back, they pressure you to buy more tours.
Terrorism: National security is currently at the top of the agenda of countries around the world and Thailand is no exception. The insurgency in southern Thailand is limited to the country's three southernmost provinces and has thus showed no signs of having an effect on the capital.
Nonetheless, Thailand's tourist destinations are not entirely unlikely targets as they do host millions of international tourists each year.
Use whatever caution and common sense you would use a tourist destination in your home country.
Drugs: While the situation has lightened somewhat since the severe crackdown of the infamous 'war on drugs' in 2003, Thai authorities still draw a hard-line on drugs and possession of even a small amount of marijuana may result in a hefty fine or even jail time and/or deportation.
Foreigners caught trafficking drugs are likely to end up living a hellish existence at the infamous 'Bangkok Hilton', Bangkwang prison.
Do not be drawn into any suspicious deals, no matter how financially rewarding it may sound to a desperate soul. Furthermore, those offering drugs are not likely to provide guarantees of the content of those drugs and overdoses and adverse reactions to illegal narcotics consumed in Thailand are not uncommon.
Be smart and avoid getting involved in illegal drugs in Thailand.
Violence: Thais, on the whole, are passive people and manage to maintain a passive environment.
However, there is the odd occasion when alcohol fuelled fights break out and the aggressor will stop at nothing with his rage.
Thai men are proud and controlled, but some are known to get drunk easily and if their national or self pride is insulted by an insensitive foreigner they can really 'lose it'! Some men have also reported rather destructive jealousy-fueled tantrums from their Thai female companions which have left their hotel rooms trashed.
Politically motivated violence, an unfortunate consequence in Bangkok, is not directed in any way at foreigners.
While standing in between protesters and riot police to get some photos would not be safe idea, it is unlikely that foreigners would otherwise be injured in politically motivated violence.
Women alone: Thailand is generally a safe country for women to travel alone, but there have been a few cases of rape by taxi drivers or women lured by local men into fatal or fearsome situations, particular late at night on the beaches and islands.
As with all strange countries, keep your wits about you and be wary of befriending strangers too quickly.
Hustlers and touts: Pushy touts are likely to be among the first Thai people you meet upon landing in the Bangkok airport and you are likely to meet many more during your stay.
They will all want to cart you off to some destination or other, all the time with an eye on making a bit of extra money from someone unfamiliar with the city.
Relative to other tourist destinations in developing countries the Thai are generally quite polite and, apart from market vendors and tuk tuk or taxi drivers, they respect your privacy.
A firm 'Mai ow krap/ka' (not interested thanks!) will serve you well in most cases and if it does not simply ignoring the persistent pleas and continuing on your path will cause the tout to move on to the next person.
Motorcycles: Many consider motorcycle taxis so dangerous in Bangkok that there used only as a last resort when you need to beat the traffic.
They can be particularly dangerous for those who have much larger body types than Thai people.
Remember that a motorcycle driver is accustomed to having a thin-framed Thai person on the back of his bike and may at times not leave too much room to negotiate himself through a tight traffic squeeze, including while riding on sidewalks or into oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road.
Motorcyclists can also be a hazard to pedestrians.
Be careful when jaywalking as motorbikes drive quickly through lanes between cars and drive on sidewalks and the wrong side of the road.
Finally, it is extremely important never to open a taxi door without looking through the rear window to see if a motorbike is about to speed past, even if you are parked near the curb.
If you hit a motorbike with the taxi door you will be expected to pay damage to both the bike and the taxi as well as medical costs for the injured bike rider.
Buses: getting off and on the buses in Bangkok is not a simple matter.
You must be sure that it has come to a full stop, and as such it is best to get off with a group of people and be careful about doing so. Numerous terrible injuries occur every year due to people falling off buses.
Construction: Bangkok is one big ongoing construction project and much of the work that was abandoned after the 1997 financial crisis is now being finished off. Sidewalks are a particular hazard, full of holes and sometimes loose debris.
Safety laws in Thailand are rather loosely applied and falling masonry and collapsing walls and billboards are a hazard from time-to-time, but seldom cause any widespread casualty.
Scams: Tuk tuk drivers, especially those who congregate in tourist areas, are notorious for offering 'tours', even on occasion bringing you to the famous site of your choice for free, provided you stop off at look at a jeweler or suit shop along the way.
These scams are arranged with the owner of the shop and making purchases during such a trip is not a good idea as you will be paying far higher rates than you would normally and quite possibly receiving goods of dubious quality.
Also be aware of recommendations from taxi drivers when it comes to jewel shops, suits shops, bars and restaurants.
Gem scams are the most prolific and every week someone lodges a complaint about losing larges sums of money buying what they thought were cheap 'illegally smuggled' Burmese gems, only to discover the goods are fake and the shop gone when they return.
The solution to this one is simple; don't be greedy, and imagine you are scoring a bargain illicitly.
Furthermore, it is not uncommon in tourist areas for travelers to be approached by a clean cut, well dressed man who often will be toting a cell phone.
These scammers will start up polite conversation, showing interest in the unsuspecting tourist's background, family, or itinerary. Inevitably, the conversation will drift to the meat of the scam. This may be something as innocuous as over-priced tickets to a kantok meal and show, or as serious as Bangkok's infamous gem scam.
Once identified, the wary traveler should have no trouble picking out these scammers from a crowd. The tell-tale well pressed slacks and button down shirt, freshly cut hair of a conservative style, and late-model cell phone comprise their uniform.
Milling around tourist areas without any clear purpose for doing so, the careful traveler should have no difficulty detecting and avoiding these scammers.
Many visitors will encounter young Thai ladies armed with a clipboard and a smile enquiring as to their nationality, often with an aside along the lines of please help me to earn 30 baht.
The suggestion is that the visitor completes a tourism questionnaire (which includes supplying their hotel name and room number) with the incentive that they just might win a prize - the reality is that everyone gets a call to say that they are a winner, however the prize can only be collected by attending an arduous time-share presentation. Note that the lady with the clipboard doesn't get her 30 baht if you don't attend the presentation; also that only English-speaking nationalities are targeted.
Another recurrent scam involves foreigners - sometimes accompanied by small children - who claim to be on the last day of their vacation in Thailand, and having just packed all their belongings into one bag in preparation for their flight home, lost everything when that bag was stolen.
Now cash is urgently needed in order to get to the airport in a hurry and arrange a replacement ticket for his/her return flight in a few hours time.

Back in the summer, I posted that I would be teaching an Operating Systems course at the college I work for. Final exams were last night, and here's teh results:
2 new Linux addicts - both actually dumped Win XP off their machines and one installed Fedora the other went with Slackware.
2 Long time Mac users now understand DOS, Linux command line, and are starting to explore the BSD hiding underneath OS X.
Not bad, I think....

If you're like many who are caring for a loved one with dementia, the holiday season may not feel so merry. Memories of better times may surface as reminders of what you've lost or what has changed. At a time when you believe you should be happy, you may instead find that stress, disappointment and sadness prevail.
At the same time, you may think that you should live up to expectations of family traditions and how things ought to be. As a caregiver, it isn't realistic to think that you will have the time or the energy to participate in all of the holiday activities as you once did.
Yet, by adjusting your expectations and modifying some traditions, you can still find meaning and joy for you and your family. Here are some ideas.
