RUMFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Last month, the Maine Winter Sports Center announced they'd be closing the doors at Black Mountain ski area, but after significant donations and growing support, the non-profit organization will donate the 50-year old venue to the Rumford-based volunteer board.
In the three weeks since the Maine Winter Sports Center revealed their plans, more than $125,000 has been raised toward a goal of $200,000.
According to Maine Winter Sports Center , "The completion of the gift remains subject to the parties reaching agreement on terms of the transfer document. The gift, when completed, combined with demonstrated strong fundraising potential, and the support of partners like Bangor Savings Bank, Franklin Savings Bank and Sunday River Resort, will allow the mountain to open this season"
Black Mountain changed its business model radically last year, looking to make skiing more accessible and to reach profitability. It reduced day tickets to $15 and season passes to $150, added a new snowmaking system, website and retail shop and expanded the Last Run Lounge. It also added a new 1.5-mile intermediate trail, Allagash, which quickly became a major new attraction. The result was a dramatic increase in new skiers and revenue, which has put the mountain on a positive trajectory.
To help the new Black Mountain reach its fundraising goal, please visit: www.gofundme.com/3eyo8c. Donations will be matched on this site by Bangor Savings Bank until this online campaign reaches $50,000. You can also go to any Bangor Savings Bank branch with your donations.

It's not often, in these straitened times, that the Treasury think they can get some good headlines on tax. A reasonably good sign that this is the case is when the Chancellor steps in to front up the story – in the press release at least.
This was the case with last night's announcement of a deal with Switzerland to tackle evasion by UK taxpayers with money in Swiss bank accounts.
For those who have missed it so far the three main elements of the deal are:
1. UK taxpayers with money in Swiss bank accounts will have to pay a one-off charge of between 19 and 34 per cent of their account balance to the UK taxman in 2013. The payment will be deducted and made by the bank. Details of individual accounts will not be revealed but account holders will get certificates stating they have paid the charge. This levy can be avoided by the taxpayer making a full disclosure to HMRC and settling all taxes.
2. From 2013, a 'withholding tax' of 48 per cent of the interest they earn, 40% of dividends, 48% of other income or 27% of capital gains will be deducted automatically by the bank and sent to HMRC annually. Again, details of individual accounts will not be revealed but account holders will get certificates stating they have paid tax on the interest/dividends/capital gains from their deposits.
3. The UK Government will be able to request bank account details for up to 500 people a year from Swiss banks, who will be required to disclose the information.
Whether you regard this as a good deal really depends on whether you think the Government had any prospect of getting a better deal – in particular, whether there was any chance of getting Switzerland to abandon its long-cherished banking secrecy. Most observers, including the CIOT, have taken the view that the deal is a pragmatic trade-off and a significant step forward. Jaimie Kaffash at Accountancy Age calls it "an excellent deal" and an agreement "HMRC can rightly be proud of".
But at the other end of the spectrum, Richard Murphy of Tax Research UK calls the deal "sickening" and believes "Cameron and Osborne did the Swiss tax deal to support tax evasion - there's no other explanation". Christian Aid are also heavily critical, calling it "collusion with criminality". Exchequer Secretary David Gauke has been on the airwaves rebutting these claims, telling the BBC: "There was no prospect of the Swiss abandoning bank secrecy altogether."
The CIOT is highlighting that it is not just 'tax dodgers' who will be affected. Innocent taxpayers who have always properly reported their Swiss income are at risk too. They will need to make a further disclosure to avoid the deduction from their account balance in 2013.
The amounts raised by the deal will turn on one key question. The rate of withholding tax being charged is high. How many Swiss account holders will move their money to even more distant and inaccessible locations rather than let HMRC get their hands on any of it? Swiss banks and HMRC alike will be hoping this has all been pitched at the right level and this is only a very small number. Andrew Clark of The Times has his doubts.
Other coverage of the deal includes:Financial Times: Swiss tax deal to raise UK revenue (p1) and Bern and London's pragmatic compromise (p2)Daily Telegraph: Chancellor George Osborne launches £5bn tax raid on Swiss bank accountsAccountancy Age: Liechtenstein remains best option, say advisorsThe Guardian: Treasury strikes tax evasion deal with Switzerland to recoup unpaid cash

Some stories just keep on givin'….
This is my third installment on the developing story about the once honored Oregon Duck Jeremiah Masoli's fall from grace. As you may recall, Masoli transferred to Ole Priss—I mean, Ole Miss—after being relieved of duty after a pathetic pot possession charge. Of course, being caught with pot was his second offense; he first pleaded guilty to robbery charges.
In my last report, I acknowledged his achievement and thought his move to a graduate program commendable, especially because it allowed him to continue playing football, a sport that has no doubt been a positive influence on his life, despite his law-breaking handicap. However, the latest news put a damper on his plan. Apparently, the NCAA didn't find his move as honorable as I did; they have denied his request for a waiver, which makes him ineligible to play this upcoming season. Unless an appeal goes through, Masoli will not be able to play until the 2011 season.
The sports bloggers have been in frenzy ever since the word got out. There is a debate among them. Some agree with the NCAA who denied his appeal because they see his move to Ole Miss as a way of dodging the consequences of his actions rather than for purely academic purposes. In other words, they are attacking his intentions! They are presuming to know his mental states. They are doing almost the exact opposite of what Merrit, Effron and Monin (2010) found with regards to positive behavior. When people are seen as acting honorably in the past, they receive a "get out of jail free" card, so to speak, on future grievances. On the other hand, the NCAA, I believe, are letting the knowledge of Masoli's previous grievance behavior cloud their judgment.
We can assume of course—as the NCAA does—that Masoli made the move only so he could play football again, which may be his true intentions. But are the NCAA or we the Thought Police? Are we going to punish Masoli for his intentions or his actions? Masoli completed his undergraduate degree and is pursuing a graduate degree in a field not offered by the U-of-O (that's what we call the University of Oregon back home), which should be grounds for eligibility—period! This is the cold hard fact of the case. And while the little devil in me wants Masoli to sit-out a year for screwing-over the Ducks, and because of my newfound hatred for Ole Miss fans, my reasonable side thinks it is unfair and that he should be allowed to play. What do you think? Should Masoli continue to be punished for his passed sins or should the NCAA look at the application alone and stop making inferences about the man's true intentions or other mental states? What do you think?

Thoreau Among the Cranberries
It is hard to believe that any significant manuscript by Henry D. Thoreau could have remained unpublished all these years. Yet that is the case, or at least partly the case. Thoreau died of tuberculosis in 1862, at 44, and left his papers in good order, some of them tied into a neat bundle with string and carefully stored in a wooden chest. But the wooden chest eventually disappeared, and the manuscripts and notes went flittering hither and yon among friends and relatives.December 26, 1999 artsReview
Thoreau Retreat Now Draws Crowds
By 1 P.M., all 350 spaces in the parking lot were filled, and the cars were still coming. A park staff worker was directing traffic. "There are too many people," he said, shaking his head. This is Walden? This is the iconic pond in the woods where Henry David Thoreau retreated to a 10-by-15-foot cabin for two years and two months? There were nearly 74,000 visitors in the month of June alone.July 28, 1996 usNews
A New Thoreau Book, About Natural History
After existing in hundreds of scattered pages, some scrawled in his barely decipherable hand on the backs of letters and broadsides to save paper, Henry David Thoreau's last important research and writing project will be published on April 20. It is his first new book to appear in 125 years.February 16, 1993 artsNews
The Mysterious Thoreau
Of our classic American writers Henry David Thoreau is the supreme poet of doubleness, of evasion and mystery. Who is he? Where does he stand? Is he to be defined even by his own words, deliberately and fastidiously chosen as they are, and famously much revised? The facts of his life, available in any Thoreau chronology, seem more detached from the man himself than such facts commonly do. Thoreau warns us that the outward aspect of his life may be ''no more I than it is you.'' He boasts of having the capacity to stand as remote from himself as from another. He is both actor and spectator.May 1, 1988 artsNews
Workers Nearing Completion Of Walden Pond Restoration
State workers have nearly finished a $600,000 project to restore Walden Pond, which 130 years ago inspired Henry David Thoreau to write ''Walden,'' in which he described his philosophy and thoughts on life. He lived alone at the pond for two years.June 2, 1985 usNews

We know that New Mexico's two biggest public retirement systems are sliding toward insolvency. The Educational Retirement Board is looking into a $5.9 billion abyss between its assets and the benefits it will have to pay. The Public Employee Retirement Association faces an even bigger gap of $6.2 billion.
Those numbers will probably get bigger as new information comes out.
To find solutions, the Legislature in 2011 created the interim legislative Investments and Pensions Oversight Committee, chaired by Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup. It dutifully heard testimony and introduced bills, but there was little consensus. Curiously, the PERA didn't even offer a plan.
"I can't figure out why people don't want to fix the problem today instead of every single year kicking it down the road because at some point we're going to be in so much trouble. That's my biggest fight," Muñoz said during the last session.
Lately, we've seen a greater sense of urgency and real momentum. The news is that the committee and unions have approved plans from both the ERB and PERA.

J.P. Ricciardi signs a three-year contract extension with the Mets
J.P. Ricciardi has signed a three-year contract extension to remain a special assistant to Sandy Alderson, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Ricciardi joined the Mets as a special assistant to the GM in November 2010.
Last month, Ricciardi told Cafardo he would return to the Mets as a Special Assistant in 2013, though he would be interested in returning to being a GM at some point during his career.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
So, I wonder if this means he's the most likely person to take over for Alderson one day? If things go badly, I assume they'd all be asked to leave. But, if things are going well, and Alderson decides to step down, it's understandable that he and Ownership would want to hand the keys to someone from Sandy's team. Ricciardi did a very good job turning around Toronto's farm system, but was fired as GM before those parts and pieces got to the big leagues, which you're starting to see from the Blue Jays now. He gets good marks around the game for how he's changed protocol in the Mets minor league system, as well, and we will soon start to see how these first two drafts begin to pan out…

Recently, an uproar in the media erupted after J. Crew put out an online ad featuring Jenna Lyons and her young son. The picture portrays a loving mother and son smiling and caring on—they seem like a lovely pair. Some however, like Fox News contributor and hack psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, only saw the Devil in the details. Rather than seeing it for what it is—a warm expression of a happy family—all he could see is that the young lad has neon pink nail polish. Ablow, in his reaction to the piece stated that "it may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid—and maybe a little for others who'll be affect by your 'innocent' pleasure."
Boggling my mind the most is the fact that this ignorant statement comes from a psychiatrist, a professional who should be up on the literature of gender-role and LGBT socialization and their outcomes. Rather than getting in to the nuts and bolts of gender development (this is not an undergraduate development course), I do what to tackle his suggestion that a lack of strict adherence to sexual and gender roles lead to negative psychological outcomes. What he seems to have forgotten is that any negative outcomes associated with LGBT folks is not because of who they are, it is because of the lack of acceptance from their families and other ignorant fools who cannot seems to realize that their own beliefs are not shared by others. In fact, recent evidence presented by Doctors Ryan, Russell, Huebner, Diaz and Sanchez (2010) in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatirc Nursing, suggests that when LGBT youths are respected and accepted by their families, positive outcomes are predicted. They can expect to have higher self-esteem and general health. They are also less likely to experience depression, substance abuse and thoughts of suicide.
What is ironic about this whole thing is that the outcomes Dr. Ablow predicts come about because of intolerant behavior like Dr. Ablow's. God save the child that comes from Dr. Ablow's loins that happens to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered—hopefully he will have set aside money for their psychotherapy to un-warp any damage his intolerant behavior might cause.

"This is the fourth sisal rug I've purchased from Natural Area Rugs and, as always, the rug is definitely five stars. Their sisal rugs wear great, never fading in high traffic areas or unraveling around the seams. And with two active kids and a dog, wearing well is important. I've had one of their sisal rugs for over 10 years and it still looks as good as the one I just purchased."

Elliott coached at the high-school level for 12 years, producing a pair of All-Americans and several all-state athletes. During this time he also wrote The Competitive Edge: Mental Preparation for Distance Running, a book that Track and Field News magazine called "the best work on the subject" and "a modern classic."
Elliott then worked for many years in educational publishing as a textbook editor and technology producer. He returned to coaching from 2008 to 2010 to head the men's and women's cross country teams at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. He is now a freelance writer and editor.

|Rain hits 2 of the 3 Linville fires
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 13 June 2007 07:20
Good news for the approximately 300 firefighters in Linville- both the 500-acre Dobson Knob wildfire and the third blaze, 70 acres located near Cold Mountain in Avery County, had rain overnight.According to spokesman Terry Seyden, firefighters are busy completing control lines on those fires.
While the fires are not contained, they are well on their way, he said.
In the meantime, the 700 acre wildfire near Shortoff Mountain is still causing problems.
The dry soil and kindling, as well as the steep conditions, are making the fight difficult for ground crews.
So what's the plan?
According to Seyden, firefighters today will be establishing fire lines outside the wildfire's perimeter. Bulldozers will be employed. Depending on tomorrow's weather, back-burning may be the next step.Back-burning is where crews burn potential kindling to better establish containment lines. While firefighters do not have an estimate as to when the Shortoff fire will be contained, the Dobson Knob and Cold Mountain fires should be contained in the next few days. The forecast today calls for rain in the Shortoff area. Seyden, and the rest of the firefighters, hopes it holds true.
