|Tax Money: Hard to Get, Hard to Give Back
|Written by Gary Childers/Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 06 December 2011 06:52
In these days of tight local government budgets, how hard is it to return tax money—like $33,292. The Ashe Board of Commissioners found that very hard last night, as Leviton Manufacturing Company officials came to ask for a refund during Monday's meeting. There was some dissention in taking action, Commissioner Gerald Price's first motion to deny the request
failing to garner a second and not making it to a vote. Commissioner William Sands told Teresa Bates, representing Leviton, that the county wanted to be sure before taking action. Then, painfully, Gary Roark made the motion to reimburse Leviton, and it was approved 3 to 1., Bate explained that during a recent comprehensive inventory the company discovered that their inventory was inaccurate and they had listed a greater amount of equipment assets than actually existed at the plant over a period of several years. Their request was for the return of the tax money they had overpaid up to what the statute of limitations would allow which was the past five years.

Maybe you're familiar with the term "brand." And if you're like a lot of people, you're saying: "I hear a lot about branding and building my brand. But I'm a small or mid-sized resort, hotel or rental property. I don't have a brand."
First things first: everyone who does business has a brand. A brand is the common impression that exists in the minds of every customer who has ever stayed with you, talked with you on the phone, seen you online or heard about you from someone else. And maintaining a good brand is much different in today's online world than it used to be. More than ever, a good healthy brand is your key to long-term success.
This is actually good news. Part of the beauty of online media is that, unlike TV, radio, outdoor or print, your website can – and should – be involved at every step in a customer's decision-making process. Here's how you can be more aware of, and take care of, your online brand.

M. Penny Sharrow has announced her independent candidacy for Ogdensburg City Council, running on the Want To Know Party line.
Mrs. Sharrow, of 625 Jay St., said her goals and issues are basically all intertwined as she launches her candidacy.
I am concerned about the future of Ogdensburg, as are a number of people, particularly with the possible loss of jobs at the (St. Lawrence) psychiatric center, she said. I have had a number of conversations with fellow citizens in regards to a number of issues in the city with a broad range of concerns from debris pickup to riverfront development. I think our opinions need not only be heard but our ideas implemented if possible and reasonable.
Mrs. Sharrow concedes that she will have a learning curve before her if she is elected.
I want to be more familiar with the other departments, she said Friday. I want to learn what the City Councils role actually is in the decision-making process of the city government and their departments. I feel there needs to be more accountability for some of the expenditures in various departments and random spending scrutinized a little closer.
Mrs. Sharrow said that her initial job as a councilor will be to ask questions.
I, or shall I say we, want to know the answers to a number of questions, express our concerns and offer or listen to possible solutions, she said. I think the citizens of the city need to be utilized more in the brainstorming procedures for the development of the riverfront by canvassing for volunteers to join committees. These committees need to be a good mix of old and young tapping on the knowledge and experience of the older residents and utilizing the youthful exuberance to come up with creative, innovative ideas. I feel the city council needs to have members on various city committees that seek funding from the city budget so we have a better idea of their utilization of funds and we could make more educated decisions on their funding.
When initially considering running for City Council, Mrs. Sharrow said she asked for a copy of the responsibilities or a job description.
I was told there wasnt one, she said. I do believe there needs to be a definitive outline for the expectations of a city councilors responsibilities and duties. How do you do a job to the best of your abilities if you have no guidelines and know your limitations within city codes and regulations before you even take the step to run?
Mrs. Sharrow has lived in Ogdensburg for 40 years. She taught and coached at Ogdensburg Free Academy for 33 years and worked for the citys summer programs through the Parks and Recreation Department for 27 years as beach director, day camp director and pool director.
Having worked with the Recreation Department with five different directors, I am obviously most familiar with that department and its functions, she said. I look forward to familiarizing myself with the other departments in the city so I have a good concept of their protocols and procedures. I also worked at the psychiatric center for two-and-a-half years after I retired from the school district. As my children were growing up and now with my grandchildren, I have also been involved in a number of youth athletic activities in the city.
She said she doesnt expect to work miracles if elected, but she hopes to at least provide city residents with more insight into council decisions and expenditures.
Ideally, I would like to see Ogdensburg thrive again, she said. I believe teamwork and shared services would help tremendously. We dont need to be in a survival mode, but more of a get it done right mode so we grow again and attract young people back with hopes of jobs and a future here in the north country.
There are five candidates for three council seats up for grabs in the November election.
Incumbents running for re-election are Republican-Conservative Michael D. Morley and Democrat-Conservative Daniel E. Skamperle. Also running besides Mrs. Sharrow are Republicans Brian R. Mitchell and James R. Amo.
Republican Councilor R. Storm Cilley is not running for re-election.

Educating the Slow Food Way
11 Mar 13
Slow Food believes that by understanding more about our food and where it comes from, we will learn to combine pleasure and responsibility in our daily choices, better appreciate the cultural and social importance of food and generally, make the world a better place. Since its early days, the association has been fostering an approach to food and taste education, with pleasure and community values at its core, through the evolution of many projects: from local activities to national programs and international events. More than 20 years down the track, these ideas and experience have been summarized in a Slow Food Education Manifesto and elaborated on in a handbook with descriptions of activities and games for schools, children and adults, taken from some of the best examples from the Slow Food network around the world
The handbook bridges Slow Food's philosophy with the practical, building a platform of advice, ideas and organizational tools that aim to bring good, clean and fair food into reality. The Education Manifesto embraces slowness, pleasure, diversity and community. Put into practice, this means activities that engage people's senses, mind and passion in discovering 'real' food - from taste test games, to planting school gardens or organizing cooking lessons - as this is one of the strongest opportunities we have to improve our food systems. Without creating the desire for "something else", the industrial food system will always have a captive audience.
The examples included in the handbook were collected from education projects around the world but can be recontextualized to fit different geographic areas. For example, the Rio de Janeiro Convivium describes a six-phase course for children under 15 to learn about the huge variety of climates, geography and geology of their country, and the different foods that represent this diversity. The lessons include group discussions, group presentations, creating a cookbook and tastings that could be used as the foundation for a similar program in another part of the world.
Slow Food hopes that the handbook will allow any motivated person to start or enrich an education activity or program: choosing a topic and approach, creating the right conditions and organizing initiatives not only as way to educate, but also strengthen a community. As we believe that education can happen everywhere and at all times, this manual can even help add another dimension to any activity carried out in groups, including those that are not, strictly speaking, educational activities, such the meetings, celebrations, and communal meals, among others.

By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
On Sept. 26, Price officials conducted two meetings open to the public to review the city's general plan and allow citizens to offer input on how to update it.
The public meetings were sparsely attended.
Many of the people present were officials, while private citizens were interspersed around the table.
The city's general plan was adopted in April 2004 by the members of the Price council.
Price officials indicated that the plan was developed to give city leaders a "road map" for growth, development, recreation and infrastructure into the middle of the current century.
The 2004 road map for the city was developed by the JUB Planning Group based on input and surveys from citizens.
The update in September represented an ongoing process that Price leaders felt the city must undergo to keep the plan current with the times and with the needs of the local residents.
Last month, many issues raised before concerning the community were brought up again and new matters also surfaced at the meetings as well.
One of the major issues involved quality of life and attracting people to the area.
When families plan to move to Price, the men are usually thrilled because of the recreation possibilities, pointed out a Carbon County native who recently returned to the local community with her husband and family. But the women tend to look around and wonder what there is to do in the county.
Attracting younger families to the local area should be of prime importance to the city, continued the Price native. Achieving the goal may include such things as a library expansion or a recreation center development project.
Price community manager Nick Tatton stated that, as with all things, people need to have realistic expectations about what can be done.
"Much of it has to do with the capacity of the community and the needs we have," said Tatton.
Enhancing the community's image with outsiders was also a topic of discussion.
Bringing people to Price and the Carbon County area to spend time and add economic stimulus to the community was a second primary issue raised at the public meetings.
Some attendees at the meetings felt that the area already has many excellent attributes and the good things need to be marketed better.
Getting traffic to exit off U.S. Highway 6 and travel into town was one of the issues that came up during the meetings.
"It is important that significant traffic patterns that exist now be broken so more people come into our town," pointed out Price Mayor Joe Piccolo. "But we also need to decide where we want that traffic pattern to be."
The mayor's comments led to discussions concerning the local economy, jobs and property values.
Piccolo said one of the main things that needs to be done in the town is to expand first line employment opportunities for young people so they will stay in Carbon County.
One of the issues that arose was real estate and the number of older homes that are on the market right now.
Based on the 2000 census Price has about 2,100 owner occupied housing units with 80 percent of those being single family homes. Almost 60 percent of those homes were built before 1970. With new houses going up in parts of the city and the county, some of the older homes are being left empty as families move to the more modern dwellings.
A question about the general plan arose concerning the income sources that will be available in the future to fund the city. There were also some questions about how realistic the goals are, based on the monetary realities of the area.
Infrastructure was also a point of discussion. City officials say they are constantly reviewing the situation with streets, water/sewer systems and electrical distribution. But as with many cities, as the outlying areas grow new sections to those systems are added there, while in the older neighborhoods, system continue to age. However, city officials say that the towns roads and systems are constantly under review and as residents know, construction projects often occur during the summer to repair and replace sections of road or pipe that need it.
The suggestions and input gathered at the meetings will be examined more closely by the city and their consultants to see what kinds of changes may need to be made to the plan based on that information.

How do you get a whale carcass off a beach?
FLORENCE, Ore. - How do you get a whale carcass off from a frequently visited beach?
Monday morning, Oregon State Park officials were trying to find the answer to that question.
Visitors along the Central Oregon coast didn't expect to see snow, or a dead whale on the beach, but that's just what they got.
"I'm from Texas and we've never seen anything this big along the Texas coast- obviously," said Charlie LeCompt, a Houston resident.
The fin whale is endangered and the second largest species of whale. The mammal measures in at 40-feet-long and weighs several tons, leaving a heavy task for clean up crews.
"We were looking at initially, if maybe the waves would take it out, you know naturally," said Clay Courtright, Oregon State Parks Ranger.
But because the tide wasn't strong enough, Plan A quickly sank.
Back in 1970, another whale was found dead on a beach near Florence, and crews thought the best way to get rid of it was to blow the whale up. After blubber flew all over the beach, and even damaged cars, state officials learned and quickly changed their removal strategy.
So, on to Plan B.
"I'm going to bring a dozer up, and probably try to roll it. Probably try to get the dozer hooked on behind it, pushing on it," said Gary Rose, Owner of Leisure Excavating.
Rose was contacted, with the goal of burying the giant whale.
"I seen it on your news program and I kind of figured they'd be calling sometime today, and they did," said Rose.
Starting off with a test hole, workers scooped up the sand to make sure their machinery could break deep enough through the rocky beach.
While onlookers watched in awe, a final measurement confirmed the whale of a job was possible.
"What a massive animal! I still have a lot of questions I'm trying to get answers for," said Rose.
Excavators were forced to cut up the whale to fit into the hole.
Meanwhile, biologists said Monday they were still trying to determine what caused the whale's death. They said there were no signs of a ship-strike or entanglement, but the whale appeared to be malnourished.

PACT for Individuals With Serious Mental Illness (SMI-PACT)

- How to Read a Study Record
People with serious mental illness have difficulty making good use of primary care, and die, on average, years earlier than others in the population. The greatest contributors to this premature mortality are medical illnesses, especially cardiovascular disease and cancer. The Patient Centered Medical Home is a model for reorganizing primary care practice so that healthcare is more effective, efficient, and user-friendly. It is being implemented across VA as the, "Patient Aligned Care Team" (PACT). It is unclear, however, how this PACT model applies to people whose predominant illness is treated by specialists. This is the case for people with serious mental illness (SMI), many of whom require ongoing treatment at mental health clinics. To achieve optimal health outcomes in the population with SMI, it may be necessary to adapt the PACT model so that it includes approaches that have proven to improve healthcare in this population. This project implements an adapted "SMI-PACT" model at two VA healthcare centers, and evaluates its effect on veterans with SMI.

Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model to address the physical healthcare needs for individuals with serious mental illness
Other: Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT)
A integrated healthcare model to coordinate and address physical health needs. The PACT model to be implemented here will be specially designed for individuals with serious mental illness.
Other Name: SMI-PACT
No Intervention: Usual Care
Primary Care
Detailed Description:
People with serious mental illness (SMI) die, on average, many years prematurely, with rates of premature mortality 2 to 3 times greater than the general population. Over 60% of premature deaths in this population are due to "natural causes," especially poorly treated cardiovascular, respiratory, and infectious diseases. Although the VA is a centrally organized, comprehensive healthcare system, veterans with SMI still have difficulty navigating the system, and are at substantially elevated risk for premature death. Too often, they do not attend scheduled appointments or fail to engage in primary care treatment, and consequently do not get valuable preventive and primary care services.
Primary care in VA has undergone significant transformation under the Patent Aligned Care Team (PACT) model, which is based on the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) concept. PACT has the goal of improving the quality, efficiency, and patient-centeredness of primary care. But it remains unclear how PACT will impact the large populations of veterans who get the majority of their care in specialty settings, such as people with SMI. Research can inform efforts to apply the PACT model in specialty settings. For example, while people with SMI do poorly with usual primary care arrangements, there is now substantial evidence that integrated care and medical care management approaches can improve medical treatment and outcomes, and reduce treatment costs, in people with SMI.
Using available evidence, we propose to implement and evaluate a specialized PACT model that meets the needs of individuals with SMI ("SMI-PACT").
This project will partner with leadership at two medical centers to implement SMI-PACT, with the goal of improving healthcare and outcomes among people with SMI, while reducing unnecessary use of emergency and hospital services. Evidence-based quality improvement strategies will be used to reorganize processes of care. In a site-level controlled trial, this project will evaluate the effect, relative to usual care, of SMI-PACT implementation on (a) provision of appropriate preventive and medical treatments; (b) patient health-related quality of life and satisfaction with care; and (c) medical and mental health treatment utilization and costs. The project includes a mixed methods formative evaluation of usual care and SMI-PACT implementation to strengthen the intervention, and assess barriers and facilitators to its implementation. Mixed methods will also be used to investigate the relationships between organizational context, intervention factors, and patient and provider outcomes; and identify patient factors related to successful patient outcomes.
This project's approach to SMI-PACT is consistent with the VA PACT model, and with efforts in VA to improve care for veterans with psychiatric disorders. This will be one of the first projects to systematically implement and evaluate the PCMH and PACT concepts beyond primary care. Should SMI-PACT be demonstrated to be feasible and effective, the model could be used more broadly to improve the quality and efficiency of care for veterans with serious mental illness. Findings regarding PACT in specialty mental health may also inform efforts to improve care in other specialty healthcare settings.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patient subjects and all staff subjects will be currently enrolled in care at one of the 4 sites for this study (which are yet to be named).
- All patient subjects will be veterans.
Patient subjects:
- We will enroll a random sample of 1000 patients who have diagnoses of schizophrenia
- schizoaffective disorder
- bipolar disorder
- or recurrent major depression with psychosis (500 intervention, 500 control).
Staff subjects:
- We will enroll approximately 15 staff per site.
At each site this will include:
- 3 members of PACT
- 4 members of SMI-PACT (intervention site) or mental health integration (control site)
- 4 providers from the mental health clinic
- 2 administrators who oversee the mental health clinic (e.g., psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, clerks)
- and 2 administrators who oversee primary care.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients will not be excluded based on comorbid mental or medical diagnoses.
- However, there is a subset of individuals at mental health clinics who are psychiatrically stable and advanced enough in their recovery that they do not require enhanced supports to make effective use of PC.
- This will be assessed at baseline by each patient's clinician, using the Milestones of Recovery Scale (MORS)69 scale.
- This scale rates an individual's ability to self-manage their care.
- Patients who rate at "early recovery" or "advanced recovery" on this scale will remain with standard PACT, and are not eligible for SMI-PACT.

I'm talking about knowing an area of computer science or a language, and then forgetting it over the years. As I approach the 20 year mark, I'm finding myself realizing that I've forgotten more than I currently know. Is this bad? Is this good? Is there a way to solve this? And if not, which things are worth memorizing?
For instance, we all know (I think) that Quicksort provides O(n*log n) in average cases, and we know it can balloon to O(N^2) when fed with the wrong inputs. How many of us, if asked without notice, could write a functioning Quicksort on the whiteboard or in their code editor of choice, without blinking? Is this useful? And if we can do it, does it count if it's a naive implementation, and not the optimized version that was engineered by Bentley & Company?
I give that as an example, but it could be anything. C++ has many dark corners, that if not used for some length of time, can be easily forgotten. And let's face it, there are many dark corners in C++ that one prefers to steer clear of.

John Christian Rommereim
Professor of Music
Blanche Johnson Professor of Music
The professorship was established in 1997 by Harold B. Johnson Jr. in memory of his aunt, Blanche Johnson, who was a small town piano teacher, educated at the Chicago Conservatory of Music. It was previously held by Jonathan Chenette.
Professor Rommereim came to Grinnell College to direct the choral programs in 1988, as an assistant professor. He received tenure in 1994 and was promoted to full professor in 2006. His M. Mus. is in composition, while his D.M.A. is in choral conducting, and although the core of his work at Grinnell has long been the latter, recently he has returned to composition with considerable success. His scholarship consists of a mixture of research, performance, and composition, following a pattern of versatility not uncommon among fine arts faculty at Grinnell.
His performance includes individual vocal recitals and appearances as a baritone soloist, as well as directing the College's two choral ensembles, the Grinnell Oratorio Society (the name is a revival of an earlier ensemble; this town-gown ensemble was more recently known as the Community Chorus) and the Grinnell Singers. The Singers tour extensively, not only in the Midwest but nationally (including a concert in New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine) and internationally. The Singers have given a number of American or world premieres, in some cases of works by Professor Rommereim himself, in others music by colleagues in the music department, and still others of works by outside composers specially commissioned. This gives students the opportunity to participate directly in the production of a new work of art, and the challenges of the encounter are more than compensated for by the richness and depth of musical insight and experience gained. The Singers have recorded their performance of Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil and a collection of Russian sacred music, Na zemli mir, giving them experience with the exacting standards of recorded music. His results with his choruses are passionate, engaged, and unfailingly musical.
Professor Rommereim's research before coming to Grinnell College and during his first years here focused on choral performance practice, particularly in the Russian sacred repertoire. His translation and study of an important treatise by the Russian church composer Pavel Chesnokov has been published as The Choir and How to Direct It (2010). In recent years he has returned to his earlier work in composition; several of his choral compositions have been published. His compositions are beginning to be performed around the country, receiving praise for the craftsmanship of his work and the immediate communication of his musical language.
Professor Rommereim has served three terms as chair of the music department, and two as chair of the Russian, Central and Eastern European Studies concentration. He has also served on a range of standing faculty committees. Outside the College (in addition to the good-will generated by his extensive performance schedule with the Grinnell Singers), he has served on the Grinnell Arts Council, as an adjudicator at the Des Moines Children's Choir Festival, and as organist and choirmaster at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Grinnell, as well as guest conducting other choruses and ensembles and spending 2008-2009 as composer in residence with The Rose Ensemble.

NORFOLK, Va. - In a tightly contest game that saw 10 ties and six lead changes, the William and Mary women's basketball team fell at Old Dominion, 75-64, on Thursday night at the Ted Constant Center. With 11:08 left to play in regulation, senior Janine Aldridge's fast-break bucket knotted the affair up at 50. However, the Monarchs scored 10 of the next 14 points as it fended off a tenacious Tribe squad for the Colonial Athletic Association victory. The setback drops W&M to 6-19 overall and 4-10 in CAA play, while Old Dominion improves to 18-9 on the year and 9-6 in league action.
Senior Emily Correal paced the Green and Gold with 26 points and eight rebounds. The Venetia, Pa., native has now posted 17 20-point performances in her career, which is tied for fourth all-time in school history. Sophomore Kyla Kerstetter filled up the stat sheet with 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists, while Aldridge finished the contest with nine points, eight rebounds and four assists. Senior Taylor Hilton rounded out the Tribe effort with seven points and five rebounds.
The Green and Gold finished the night shooting 45.6 percent (26-of-57) from the floor and 20 percent (3-of-15) from 3-point range. Once again, W&M got a solid effort from its bench in the way of 15 points. The Tribe finished the contest with 36 points in the paint and 20 points off of 20 Old Dominion turnovers.
In first half action, the Monarch's jumped out to an early advantage as Shae Kelley's conventional 3-point play gave ODU an 11-4 advantage at the 15.24 mark. Senior Chanel Murchison's lay up off an assist from sophomore Anna Kestler cut the deficit to four, 18-14, at the 9:37 juncture. Murchison finished the night with four points on 2-of-2 shooting from the field, while Kestler ended the contest with two rebounds.
With Old Dominion holding onto a 27-21 lead, the Tribe exploded an a quick 8-0 burst as senior Jaclyn McKenna's layup gave the Tribe a 29-27 lead with 3:44 left to play in the half. The run was ignited by two Correal free-throws at the 4:59 mark, while Hilton and sophomore Jazmen Boone netted buckets during the stretch. With 26 seconds left in the half, Boone's jumper proved to be the final points of the stanza, but Old Dominion held the slim halftime lead, 35-33.
The Green and Gold started the final 20 minutes of action on a tear as it took a four-point advantage, 39-35, at the 17:32 mark courtesy of six unanswered points. Fueling the burst was an unyielding defensive effort along with well executed buckets from Correal and Hilton. Correal scored the frame's opening four points, while Hilton's layup gave the Green and Gold the four-point margin.
After the two squads traded buckets, it was Old Dominion who held a 48-43 lead with 13:00 left to play. On the Tribe's next possession, Aldridge's trifecta got W&M to within 48-46 with 12:30 remaining. After another defensive stop, the Massapequa, N.Y., native tied the tilt, 48-48, for the ninth time with a coast-to-coast lay up at the 11:50 mark.
Mairi Buchan's bucket at the 11:36 mark gave ODU the two-point edge, 50-48. However, as it had done all night, the Tribe responded on its ensuing possession. Aldridge tied the contest for the 10th and final time at 50 as the College's all-time leader in 3-pointers made (295) connected on another fast-break layup. The Monarch's seized control of the contest as it scored 10 of the next 14 points, and with 6:01 left in regulation, ODU owned a 60-54 lead.
Correal's bucket inside the paint at the 5:54 mark cut the deficit to four, 60-56, but that's as close as W&M got to over taking the ODU advantage. Her 26th point of the night got the Tribe to within 67-62 with 2:32 left to go but ODU put the contest out of reach with a 6-0 spurt.
Jackie Cook led ODU with 21 points on 6-of-14 shooting from the floor, while Shae Kelley finished the contest with 17 points and 10 rebounds. For the game, Old Dominion shot 24-of-52 (46.2 percent) from the floor and 8-of-19 (42.1 percent) from 3-point range.
The Tribe returns to action on Sunday, Feb. 24, as it travels to Drexel for a CAA match-up slated for 2 p.m. Fans can follow the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live stats.

Pre-MOT to MOT Admission Information
Occupational therapy is a rewarding and satisfying career that requires a high level of skill and expertise. See the list of Essential Functions for Coursework & Fieldwork that details the performance abilities and characteristics necessary to successfully complete the requirements of the MOT program.
Pre-Master in Occupational Therapy Admission
Pre-MOT students apply through the Center for Adult and Part-Time Students.
- Phone: 513-745-3355
- E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The following must be submitted to the CAPS office:
- A completed pre-MOT application
- Official copies of all college transcripts
Human Occupation Studies Concentration (HOCS)
Admission to the HOCS courses is open to all Xavier students, but enrollment is limited. Registration for the HOCS courses is approved by the department of occupational therapy and is normally determined by the following criteria:
- Evidence of completion or in progress of all semester hours for BLA degree or a non-OT Bachelor's degree with a minimum final grade point average as reported on the official transcript of 3.0 (on a 4.0) scale.
- Completion of all 40 of the 40 HOCS required hours of volunteer/work experience prior to the first day of classes (hours must be documented on approved form as described below).
- Evidence of meeting with a representative of the occupational therapy department. Information sessions will be held on Monday, April 20th and Friday, May 15th. Please contact Diane Burton in Admissions to schedule a visit, 513-745-2940.
- Completion of criminal background check by end of first HOCS semester.
Documented exposure to the field of occupational therapy is accomplished through volunteer or paid work experience in an occupational therapy practice setting. Completion of 20 hours at one site and an additional 20 hours at a different site for a total of 40 hours is required prior to entrance to HOCS courses. Documentation must be on the Recommendation and Verification of Volunteer/Work Experience in Occupational Therapy Clinic or Work Setting forms. Only two forms will be accepted; additional forms will not be considered. These forms must be completed by a fully credentialed occupational therapy practitioner who supervised the student and must be submitted on the original forms. The supervisor may not be a relative, personal friend or acquaintance of the student. Photocopies of completed forms will not be accepted. Original forms must be sent directly to the Department of Occupational Therapy.
- Notice: For Fall 2015, all HOCS slots are filled and a wait list has been activated by ranked GPA. Any student who begins the HOCS and/or MOCT courses and does not continue sequentially will be placed at the bottom of a wait list should one occur at time of placement. If slots are limited, ranked undergraduate degree-end GPA will determine continuation. Students are allowed only one such instance of "dropping back" one cohort year.
Master in Occupational Therapy Admission
Meeting the following criteria offers annually 40 students admission into the MOT program. If more than 40 qualified applicants apply to the MOT Program, applicants are ranked by their end-point undergraduate degree GPA. Students who dropped back a year will be permitted into the graduate program only if there are fewer than 40 qualified applicants from the original HOCS-entry cohort class. Qualified applicants not accepted into the program may re-apply the following year.
All criteria must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Services (513-745-3360; firstname.lastname@example.com). Applications are due June 1 following completion of the first year of HOCS courses.
- Graduate program admission form.
- Official transcripts of all previous college or university work.
- Evidence of completion or in progress of all semester hours for the BLA degree with a minimum final grade point average as reported on the official transcript of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale).
- Evidence of successful completion (grade of "C" or higher) or in progress of all prerequisite courses with no more than two "C"s (Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Rhetoric, Statistics I and II, Physics, Developmental Psychology, Bioethics, Kinesiology, Neuroscience, and all HOCS courses). All pre-requisities must be taken at Xavier University.
- Official test scores on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with a minimum average of 33 percent across all GRE sections (verbal reasoning, quantitative and analytical writing).
- Personal statement related to the 40 hours of volunteer experience.
- Personal interview, evaluation and completion of on-site writing sample may be required.
Other Requirements
Upon acceptance into the MOT program, students are required to complete all graduate courses (MOCT courses) with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Student membership in The American Occupation Therapy Association (AOTA) is also required. The mission of the AOTA "advances the quality, availability, use and support of occupational therapy through standard-setting, advocacy, education and research on behalf of its members and the public" (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2000).
Prior to beginning Level I and Level II Fieldwork, students must show evidence of malpractice liability insurance ($2,000,000/$4,000,000). Liability insurance is mandatory, and provided by the University, and the University has negotiated a favorable group rate for occupational therapy students. Students are billed through the University when they register for courses that include a fieldwork or community experience. All students also must have current CPR certification; hepatitis B immunization; measles, mumps and rubella immunizations; an annual two step (or blood) tuberculosis test; annual seasonal influenza immunization; annual history and physical exam; annual Universal Precautions and HIPAA training; and criminal background check in order to participate in all fieldwork experiences. The inability to comply with any of the required immunizations may restrict or prohibit Level I and/or Level II Fieldwork placements and subsequent program progression. Level II Fieldwork courses must be completed within 12 months of the academic coursework on campus. Additionally, a drug screen prior to participation in a specific fieldwork site may be required.
Note: A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the certification examination or attain state licensure.

Nick's Six Picks: Touchdown, Touchdown, Touchdown
6. Deep Six Tricks: Darron Thomas ties Joey Harrington (who did it twice) and Danny O'Neill for the Oregon single-game record for touchdowns thrown with 6 against Nevada.
5. Easy as 123 Points: The highest scoring high school football game Friday came at South Salem as the Thurston Colts beat the Saxons 64-59. Quarterback Chad Olson threw for 460 yards while Trevor Westover amassed 350 all-purpose yards.
4. Walk the Plank: One of the best games on Friday night came from North Eugene. Marshfield's Josh Osborne returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the Pirates into the lead as they hung on to beat the Highlanders, 42-40.
3. Jump Around: Not many highlights came out of the Beavers trip to Camp Randall, but Jordan Bishop made a nice leaping catch and absorbed a couple of hits to hand on the first down.
2. Two for the Price of One: A pair of #1 teams went down on Friday night as the Elmira Falcons kicked the Douglas Trojans (4A) out of their nest by 30 points and the Sheldon Irish delivered a 52-37 smack-down on Jesuit (6A). The new prep polls will be released Monday.
1. LaMike's Hat Trick: A rushing score and receiving TD for LaMichael James but nothing was finer on Saturday in the Autzen opener than the junior tailbacks balancing act to remain upright and return a punt for 58-yards and another score.
Tune in each Sunday night for KVAL News at 6:30 to see who and what lands where in Nick's Six Picks, counting down the top plays and achievements from the week that was in your local world of sports.

fairy lamp cleaning question
Bought a glass fairy lamp at a resale shop . 1 small chip, other than that it is in perfect condition.
It is frosted yellow pineapple 2 pc. like in this photo of one on this sites archives.
Vintage Glass Fairy Lamp Frosted Yellow Pineapple (06/05/2011)
Only issue, these shops use a heavy black marker that sometimes soak into the object making cleaning tough.
I have had success soaking these items in soapy for a few days. 50/50 soap/water. No harm on these items. But with the glow of the yellow in this fairy lamp, will a long soak affect its' brilliant color?
Need some opinions on this please,
Thank you,

True frosted glass is etched and the color goes right through the glass, Glass is highly inert and non porous, nothing should be able to penetrated the surface of it. Wiping it with alcohol should work to remove the marker, if it does not, try acetone (nail polish remover) .

UBS today announced that John F. Bradley will join UBS as Group head of Human Resources (HR) based in Zurich with immediate effect.

The Bulli has proven to be a conversation-provoking concept in Geneva this year. Not all are impressed with it, something we suspect is due to fond memories of the MicroBus concept from 2001 and the fact that it references the original microbus in a more conscious and obvious manner than the previous SpaceUp! Concept.
Nevertheless, this is yet another impressive Up! platform variant, and – perhaps most excitingly from the consumer's perspective – appears to be 85 percent production ready. The pressings, door cards, secondary lamp units that provide mandatory illumination for when the tailgate is lifted at night, and the mouldings and seals all speak real road more than show stand.
Surfacing impresses – note how the outer surface runs out of the flipped hockey-stick graphic inside the taillamp
One aspect that deeply impresses is the simple, elegantly resolved tailgate surfaces you can see in the picture above. A beautiful, undercut bevel surface which marks the colourway division and runs continuously around the car also impresses, yet it creates the biggest design detraction as it runs into the DRG.
The issue is caused by this bevel line turning down to form the edge of a positive surface between the lamps, on which sits a huge VW logo. The overall impression of the DRG references the original Microbus, but looks oddly aggressive. The problem is that, as the bevel surface turns from horizontal to vertical, it overcuts above the lamps, turning the Bulli's DRG expression into a scowl.
Bevel surface (seen running at the junction of the colour ways, runs around the car but turns down at the inner edge of the lights, creating a scowl
It's an appearance that's completely at odds with the ethos of the rest of the car, which features a show-stoppingly cool interior, complete with iPad interface and two rows of three-abreast bench seats, which fold out to create a double bed. It's a lovely reference to the past, but more importantly, this too appears close to production – it's similar to the system used in the bigger California.
(Top) iPad slots into a on the IP, which swivels on an arm that – iconically – seems similar to the one used in the previous generation iMac. (Bottom) Owen Ready of Car Design News helps put the Bulli's interior into its double bed configuration
If this car does make production relatively intact, VW could have a huge hit on its hands. It's easy and obvious to see how vehicle this would appeal to the empty-nesting baby boomer generation who remember the original with such fondness. Yet it's also easy to see it tugging at the at-once emotional and rational-thinking Gen-Y, that's otherwise falling out of love with the car and also to young families looking for space and practicality without sacrificing style. But what really sets the Bulli apart is a sense of light-hearted fun and freedom of movement, that's straight from the copy book of the original. As a riposte to the current atmosphere of austerity, it is a perfect antidote and a real breath of fresh air.
