About the School of Petroleum & Natural Gas
Lackawanna College identified the technical human resource needs of the oil and gas industry early in the development of the Marcellus Shale exploration in Pennsylvania. While the industry had typically financed and sponsored some oil and gas technology programs to meet industry needs in the western United States, the College forged ahead as a private institution to build a program from scratch, establishing the School of Petroleum & Natural Gas in 2009.
Beginning in Fall 2014, the School of Petroleum & Natural Gas will expand to offer four industry-focused degrees:
- Petroleum & Natural Gas Technology, PNGT
- Natural Gas Compression Technology, NGCT
- Petroleum & Natural Gas Measurement, PNGM
- Petroleum & Natural Gas Business Administration, PNGB
Thanks in part to a $2.5 million gift from Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation made in April 2014, the School of Petroleum & Natural Gas remains focused on its vision of becoming a nationally-recognized, first in class program in the field of petroleum and natural gas technology. The gift represents a $1 million endowment and $1.5 million dedicated to the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment, training, staff and faculty development, and student interactive experiences and internships.
Other major E & P and Midstream companies including Chesapeake Energy, EXCO Resources, Baker Hughes, Williams, DTE Energy, Exterran, TEAM Oil Tools, Linde Corporation, Ariel Corporation, and Mid-Con Energy Partners have made significant contributions.
Hallmarks of the school's vision include:
- A selective, competitive admissions process
- A curriculum built on petroleum, natural gas, measurement and controls, and compression engineering principles and industry direction
- To produce Petroleum Measurement and Compression Technologists and Technicians fulfilling the job market sector between typical Certificate and AAS Vo-tech programs and Petroleum Engineering Programs.
- A strong and aggressive internship and job placement program
- An administration and faculty with the academic credentials, previous industry experience, and skills to manage and support a program of the highest caliber
- High-quality and extensive lab facilities and equipment that enhance the learning experience and provide students with the hands-on practice and visual confirmation of calculations
- Prepare graduates to be effective employees from day one. 70% of our graduates are hired by major E & P, Midstream and Pipeline companies and those companies return to campus every year to hire our interns and graduates.
- To create a campus that is focused and dedicated to the oil and gas industry
- To provide industry-related activities like the student chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

BURLINGTON, ONTARIO - It's called "Magnetic Hill", a spot in Burlington, Ontario that has attracted many legends. Some say it is haunted, others say it's an optical illusion, but one thing is for sure, it has been the source of stories for generations.
The hill is on Kings Road, approaching the escarpment. Legend has it that you can put your car in neutral and be "pulled" up the hill. It is one of only a few places in Canada where the phenomenon occurs. There are also many places around the world with similar stories.
In most cases, it is merely an optical illusion. These "magnetic" spots are in a location where the horizon is obscured from view. Often times the landscape makes it look like you're rolling up hill, but in actuality you are rolling down hill.
In most cases though, the phenomenon is surrounded by stories of the paranormal. In Burlington, it is no different. There have been reports of drums and strange sounds in the distance, along with a large number of UFO sightings.
So the question remains, is this a case of the natural or the supernatural?

Hello Giuseppe, A good rule of thumb is to purchase doll that are in very good condition. Dolls that are wearing their original clothing, have original wigs, are free of cracks / splits with original facial painting are some examples. If there are any doll collecting clubs in your area check to see if they have someone you might talk with to see what dolls collectors are seeking there. Do a search on Worthopedia here to get an idea of what dolls are selling and the prices they are commanding.
Hope this helps.

HAMMOND The Board of Education president said Friday he is open to discussing a possible merger with Morristown Central School with fellow board members.
The Morristown Central School District board voted Wednesday against pursuing a tuitioning agreement with Heuvelton. Instead, the district has decided to send a letter of inquiry to Hammond Central School, asking it to discuss a possible merger.
Hammond board President Timothy W. Pitcher said Friday he has not yet seen the letter from the Morristown board, but he is open-minded about discussing a possible merger.
We will discuss all possibilities, Mr. Pitcher said. Its not like we havent talked about it before. It may come down the road. We have to be prepared.
Mr. Pitcher said Hammond is in good fiscal condition, but that might change if the state continues to cut funding.
We dont have to do anything right at this moment, Mr. Pitcher said. Right now, our main focus is trying to square away our new interim superintendent.
Morristown Vice President W. Darrell Merkel has said that a merger between the schools could end Hammonds search for a permanent superintendent, since there would need to be only one superintendent for the newly formed district.
In case of a merger, Mr. Pitcher said, the districts would have to build a new school because they are too small to accommodate the 800 students in the combined districts.
Hammond Central School is about 10 miles from Morristown. Another merger option for Hammond is Alexandria Central School, which is 21 miles away.
I dont think its something we should ignore. Education is changing, and we have to be open to that, Hammond school board member Bernard A. Martin said.
Mr. Martin declined to comment further until the board has discussed the issue.
The school board will meet at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8 in the Hammond Central School library.

The film 'The Men Who Stare at Goats', which is currently on general release, tells the story of a fictional division of 'psychic-warriors' within the United States (US) military.
Whilst clearly a tongue-in-cheek portrayal, it is evident from the original book that much of the film is based on actual happenings, such as the MK-ULTRA project, or the controversial recent involvement of US military psychologists in interrogation and torture.
Such military involvement in psychology is apparent even within classic social psychological studies such as Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment, which was funded by the US Office of Naval Research.
Whilst the 'feel-good' moral of the film is that belief is perhaps more important than any true abilities, such a suggestion can be seen as somewhat more questionable when human lives are at stake.
This is highlighted by the widespread use at military checkpoints within Iraq of a dubious explosives detection device that is accused of working solely "on the same principle as a Ouija board — the power of suggestion". Although this 'hi-tech dowsing-rod' apparently functions effectively for its usual operators, third-parties find themselves unable to replicate this.
Although explainable as a "lack of training", this can also be viewed as a consequence of 'expectation bias', a form of self-fulfilling prophecy. Within experimental psychology the dangers of such a phenomenon were clearly illustrated by Rosenthal, who found that researchers obtained different results for 'maze-bright' and 'maze-dull' rats, despite these labels having been randomly assigned.

Bird Brain!
Population control? Maybe, but if that is so, it is not only wasteful and unnecessary (God could just lessen the amount of eggs laid), but not part of what this text says at all. It says she crushes them because she is stupid! She can't help it. She is profoundly stupid. She just doesn't know any better! God intentionally created what would be the inspiration behind the reference, "bird brain." God gave those much needed IQ points that were supposed to go to the bird to us, so we could speak eloquent flatteries to God and remind him of how great he is. I'm sure, if the bird was smart enough to contemplate her short-changed situation, she'd pray for wisdom.
It is a known fact that if a manatee mother has two or more calves, she will often leave all but one behind because she is incapable of counting past the number one. Like his mother, that lost manatee calf may not be very smart, but I'm certain it experiences the same sense of horror and distress when it is deserted as one of our own children would getting lost in a mall or being sent to an orphanage.
Apologists are content to dilly-dally with what they consider to be new and improved versions of various philosophical arguments and biblical textual evidences that "prove" the God of the Bible's existence. What they should do instead is take a step backwards and deal with simple but inexcusable problem passages like this one!

The New York Rangers are currently seventh in the Eastern
Conference and trail the Tampa Bay Lightning by a single point. With four days in between their last match
against the Philadelphia Flyers, and their next game on Thursday against the
Lightning, who will be playing the second game of a back-to-back, the Rangers
should be very fresh.
They'll have to be, because the Lightning is one of the
hottest teams in hockey, and have won four straight and 11 of its last 16. Despite poor goaltending from Mike Smith and
Dan Ellis, Tampa Bay has managed to get by thanks to its
phenomenal special teams and high-octane offense. It all starts with Steven Stamkos, who became
the sixth-youngest player in NHL history to score 100 goals last night. He trails only Sidney Crosby in goals-scored
and points this season. Tampa Bay
has the top-ranked power play in the league thanks in large part to Stamkos,
who has 12 goals and 10 assists on the man-advantage this season, and Martin
St. Louis, who already has 19 power play assists. Tampa
Bay has also received
strong contributions from Teddy Purcell, Steve Downie, and Ryan Malone up front
while Vincent Lecavalier is just back from an injury. Despite being 28th in goals
against, the Lightning have been very strong on the penalty kill where it's
seventh overall. The Lightning is
winning even though both Smith and Ellis have been very poor. There is widespread speculation that the team
may look to add the just-returned Evgeni Nabokov to solidify its situation in
between the pipes, because Smith and Ellis aren't getting it done.
The Rangers are coming off one of their best weeks in recent
memory. Though Saturday's loss was
disappointing, the Rangers destroyed the Washington Capitals and then found a
way to beat another elite team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and another very good
team, the Phoenix Coyotes, all in a five day span. The loss to the Flyers was a let-down, but it
may have been good to give the team something to strive for and to keep them
working hard. It will be telling about
this team to see if it comes out fresh and hungry after just one loss, or if
the Rangers play lazy like they have in years past after winning a few games.
As always the Rangers must stay out of the box against the
unstoppable Tampa
Bay power play. If the Rangers play a disciplined game,
they'll be fine as whoever plays goal for Tampa Bay
is shaky at best. But if the Rangers are
sloppy defensively or let Stamkos and St.
Louis get to work on the power play, they'll be in for
a long night.

We are very satisfied with this practice. The doctors are knowledgeable and the staff is courteous. They have almost always accommodated our sick visits within a couple of hours of the call. The nurseline is good as well. I would highly recommend this practice

I like the doctors at Healthy Kids. The one big minus is that after 8 pm emergencies are handled be the nurse on call at St. Peter's Hospital in New Brunswick. I don't mind speaking to a nurse with routine questions but I would much rather speak to a doctor especially with an infant or toddler having an emergency.

Extremely knowledgeable and thorough doctor. I recommend him to all of my friends with children. As others have said, he really takes the time to listen to any and all questions/concerns no matter how big or small. I appreciate that he never makes me feel rushed. During one of my child's illnesses, he even called to check on her the following day. Not many doctors do that sort of thing anymore, and the personal touch proves to me how much he truly loves what he does.

Dr. Marcus is excellent. He listens to all your concerns and responds with thought and knowledge. He is very calm and will take his time with you. I highly recommend this Dr. He has a lot of pacience which is a must as I always have questions. A lot of parents that I know go this practice. The staff is also very polite and attentive.

Dr. Marcus is wonderful as are all of the doctors in this group. Dr. Marcus is a good listener and very calm person, which my baby responds well to. He is patient about listening to all of my concerns and answering all of my questions. He was also very proactive in suggesting that we switch my daughter to hypoallergenic formula when she was young. She had a dairy sensitivity and had been suffering for weeks on regular formula. I appreciated that he pushed us to switch because it made all the difference for her and was not something we would have thought to do on our own. I really have only had good experiences with the East Windsor Pediatric Group.

Dr. Marcus has been great. We've brought our child (who is turning 1 soon) to him since his birth. He always asks if we have any questions and doesn't make us feel dumb like some doctors can make you feel. Dr. Marcus takes time with you which is great and he listens to you. I would recommend him if you are looking for a new doctor for your child.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
While he was out surveying flood damage in his town Aug. 1, Helper Mayor Dean Armstrong did a little multitasking. Street by street, he jotted down the addresses where weeds had become an eyesore.
He pulled out that pocket-size memo pad at last Thursday's city council meeting and counted off the pages, "One, two, three..." and found seven pages worth of problem properties.
Some of the buildings are occupied, some are vacant, and all could be facing citations.
This is not something that will require new ordinances, the mayor said. There is already a law on the books for this, Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code to be exact. What's more, Armstrong said, absentee owners or foreclosed properties can't escape the fines any more because they are out of town. The city can put a lien on the property and encumber the title until the fines are paid.
"We're hitting the reset button" on municipal government and government services, the mayor declared. Weeds are just one item on the "to do" list.
The city has recently proposed an 86 percent hike in property tax rates. There is also a proposal for an increase in water rates, which would include monthly minimum fees for "dormant" connections - vacant homes or shops that still must have water service available.
There are places in town where tree roots have distended sidewalks, curbs and gutters. The city is liable for accidents that might occur as a result of uneven walkways.
If life in Helper does get more expensive as a result of all this, then "our citizens are justified in having high expectations of what they'll get," Armstrong stated. So if the city wants citizens to get out and chop weeds, city employees will have to do the same for municipal property.
Meanwhile, there is belt-tightening and bargaining for deals. While the city could use a tiny Bobcat loader to negotiate some of the tight spaces like tunnels it must maintain, there is not $4,000 in the budget to buy a used one. The council decided that it did have $2,500 and approved offering that much. If the offer isn't accepted, Helper will do without it.
Another case in point is the recent crash of the city's computer server. It was so old - five years - there will be a problem retrieving the data from its hard drive. That computer will have to be replaced, but the council will be exploring low-cost, long-term options for website hosting and secure data backup.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Labatt Blue Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament officials have cancelled all remaining hockey games at the Erie Basin Marina.
Officials say the rinks began to deteriorate Saturday, causing unsafe conditions for players.
All registered teams will receive a full refund. That includes teams who have already played.
Hockey players briefly took to the ice for the 6th Annual Labatt Blue Pond Hockey Tournament at Erie Basin Marina Saturday morning.
WEB EXTRA: View a photo gallery of the Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament
Late Friday and early Saturday morning snow and sleet fell on the nine rinks that were built earlier in the week which melted some of the surface.
Tournament organizers and crews worked overnight to fix what they could. In the end, only five rinks were ready to skate on.
Crews sprayed thin layers of water to try and form new ice, smoothed, and shoveled, and the first puck drop was at 11 a.m., two and a half hours after the scheduled start time.
Buffalo Police won their game against the Buffalo Fire Department.
The tournament was scheduled to end around 8:30 p.m.

BAR HARBOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Jesup Memorial Library has plenty of books about space, but on Thursday night it will introduce a new program that will put it's visitors up close and personal with the stars.
The Bar Harbor library will now offer a telescope for patrons to sign out as part of its new program called I Spy The Sky. The telescope will be available for anyone with a library card the same way a book would be. Jesup's Director, Ruth Eveland, says the telescope is part of the libraries efforts to put new technologies in the hands of its visitors.
"This is where you actually get to take this tool and use it the way it's intended to be used and learn something," said Eveland.
The telescope was paid for with a private grant and was provided by the Brunswick-based nonprofit, Cornerstones of Science as part of its Library Telescope Program. 28 libraries across Maine have benefited from the program. According to Cornerstones Executive Director, Cindy Randall, the goal is to give the public the opportunity to take advantage of the sciences while helping to make their ideas a reality.
"By personalizing the science experience anything is possible," said Randall.
Jesup Memorial Library will be unveiling the telescope to the public Thursday night at 7PM. There will also be Astronomy 101 classes for folks who want to learn more about the program as well as how to use the new piece of equipment.

LOUISVILLE The Town Council has awarded a contract for the construction of a new water district to Marcellus Construction, Adams, with work expected to begin in May.
Town Supervisor Larry R. Legault said the firms total bid of $6,286,740 also includes an alternate bid of $97,600 that will include connecting all of the projects laterals to the water main.
The bid also leaves the town with a contingency budget of $1,064,260, enough to bring water to the residents of Whalen and Patterson roads.
With that contingency, were also hoping to lay more pipe and include Whalen and Patterson roads, Mr. Legault said, adding the additional work isnt guaranteed and is pending the approval of the state Environmental Facilities Corp., the agency funding the project.
The way the bids came in, its looking pretty good for being able to continue the project, Mr. Legault said. Tim (Project Engineer Timothy Burley of C2AE, Canton) has checked with the funding agency, and they just need to look over the bid documents and give us the final approval.
Mr. Legault also said the town would seek its attorneys approval before modifying the project to include the additional roads.
Should the additional work be approved, he said roughly 85 percent of the town will have municipal water service.
I think our next goal will be to continue past Steves Stop & Shop onto Mein Road and into Chase Mills, where we could then come back down County Route 39 and complete the loop, he said.
The reason for being able to include additional work was the boards decision to use PVC pipe rather than ductal iron for the water mains.
If we would have used ductal iron, the contingency would have only been $484,075, he said, which is not enough to include Whalen and Patterson roads.
The fact PVC was cheaper wasnt the only factor that went into the decision.
The town board did their homework, Mr. Legault said. We researched ductal iron and PVC, and it was unanimous to go with PVC.
Among the benefits of PVC pipe are less friction through the pipe, easier installation, easier repair and lower price.
It is being used in a lot of new water projects, Mr. Legault said, adding Mr. Burley has said their firm has used it several times.
Mr. Legault said hes optimistic work will begin sometime in May, meaning some district residents will have municipal water service within the next four to five months.
If they get started in May, probably by mid-summer some people will start to see their water turned on, he said.
Mr. Legault said hes not sure where the contractor will begin once work gets started, but hes anticipating there will be multiple crews working each day.
I would imagine that with a project of this size there will be multiple starting points, but that hasnt been determined yet, he said.
Mr. Legault also said he realizes district residents have waited a long time for municipal water service.
They have been very patient, he said. Now they know we have a project to start and we can provide them with municipal water, which has been a long time coming for these people.
The original boundaries for the water district encompassed uncovered portions of Willard Road.

The national health care landscape is changing, and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is changing with it.
In order to remain on the forefront of innovative health care practices, we are shifting from traditional fee-for-service payment models to more innovative methods. Our models center on performance measurements, care coordination and provider incentives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring members receive quality, whole-person care.
Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) are coordinated health care providers who are accountable to patients and third-party payers for providing a care that is appropriate and efficient.
These organizations help keep health care costs lower by offering providers financial incentives for avoiding unnecessary tests and procedures. Providers also encourage patients to receive preventive care – ultimately resulting in healthier patients and fewer medical expenses.
ACO Providers are given an annual budget to cover all the patient's medical costs. The budget is based on the patient's medical history. If providers are under-budget, the leftover money may go back to the insurance company, the provider or even the patient – depending on the plan.
The goal of these programs is simple: Keeping a patient healthy in the long term rather than on solely treating instances of sickness will help reduce the long-term cost of health care and will increase coordination among a patient's providers.
Methodist Healthcare in Memphis is our flagship ACO. We plan to add one ACO per year.

Is a college degree worth going into debt?
EUGENE, Ore. - Vladimir Panchenko is working to pay off his degree.
"I saved up. I didn't really get any scholarships, so I just knew I had to work and pay my way through," he said. "I have a bunch of friends who will be in debt for like 6 or 7 years after they graduate, and I knew for a fact that I don't want to do that."
An Oregon resident graduating from the University of Oregon will have spent over $28,000 just on tuition and fees, said Phil Weiler, a spokesperson for the University of Oregon. He said the average college student graduates with almost $21,000 in debt.
"I think college students across the county are assuming more debt than they have in years past," Weiler said, "and that's a concern for everybody that's involved in higher education."
Especially students.
"It's really stressful, especially balancing work and school to try to pay off your loans," said Ashlyn Brand, a senior human physiology major at UO.
So is it worth it?
"Not having a college education - anymore in the United States being a knowledge economy, we're moving away from manufacturing, it's pretty difficult not to have a college education," said financial advisor Jenny Hector. "Not having a college degree, those are the people that are the first ones let go when there's a downturn, and they're the last ones hired."
The average American high school graduate earns a little over $31,200 a year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The average college graduate with a bachelor's degree earns $58,600.
Over your working life, the difference could be $1 million.
"In the past," UO"s Weiler said, "having a high school education allowed you to be able to go into the manufacturing sector, and you could raise a family be very successful and be very happy. Those jobs don't exist anymore."
But industry experts say a degree doesn't guarantee success. Some fields are already saturated with over qualified people.
"If there are just lots and lots of people have taken that degree option and there are lots of them out there looking for work," said Will Summers with the Employment Department, "then you're not going to have much success getting a job that pays well."


text: Lobby Day Resources What is a Lobby Day? A Lobby Day is a day for individuals to collectively make an organization's views known to their legislators. Nursing and perioperative nursing lobby days are usually organized by state nurses associations and/or AORN state coordinators and state councils. Why Lobby Day? Elected officials respond to mass numbers. When a group of people from a representative's district requests a meeting, the official will want to know that group's views. Personal meetings are one of the most effective ways of letting your representatives know AORN's and nursing's views on patient safety issues. If you would like help organizing a Lobby Day in your state, please contact AORN Government Affairs. Resources Tips for a successful lobby day

The Eclipse
Drama, Horror, Romance
Michael Farr is a widower living in a misty Irish seaside town who is struggling to adjust to his new role as the sole caretaker of his two children. Still reeling from the death of his wife, he has been plagued by terrifying apparitions. When he volunteers at a local literary festival, he finds he finds himself drawn to Lena Morelle, an empathetic author of supernatural fiction. While Lena tries to help Michael with the mystery of his nightmarish visions, she must contend with problems of her own -- she's being jealously pursued by a self-obsessed novelist, her one-time lover. As the three adults' lives converge, the turbulence of the phantom world will soon have nothing on that of the living.

Marissa Mayer Is Snobbish, One-Dimensional, and Out of Touch
Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer is the ultimate cool calculating corporate animal: Two weeks' worth of maternity leave, a nursery adjacent to her office (how soothing for baby!), and now she's banned telecommuting at Yahoo! While she might have the luxury of making such an arrangement somehow workable, she's thoroughly out of touch with the majority of her employees. Many dedicated workers rely on telecommuting for its family-friendly benefits: No commute, so you can make those unreasonable 5:30 daycare pickups on time. No one hovering over your desk, so maybe you can pop out at lunchtime to visit your kid at the playground or watch the school play without the questioning looks from your colleagues. With her draconian, snobbish decree, she's robbed women and men of their freedom. I thought it'd be informative to check out this popular article about the Top Five Regrets of the Dying, written by a palliative care nurse, and compare it against Mayer's philosophy.
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it."
Mayer is automatically asking people to either jump on the Yahoo! one-size-fits-all ship instead of being true to themselves. Employees who don't want to be in the office 40 hours per week should consider looking elsewhere for work. So much for people who might have fought hard for flexible work-life balance.
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
"This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."
This speaks for itself. Work is not going to care for you when you get old, visit you in your nursing home, or take you out for Tuesday night bingo.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
"Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result."
Is Mayer encouraging a dialogue about the benefits of working from home? No. She's simply banning it across the board, stifling the creativity, autonomy, and voices of her underlings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
"Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."
Who has time to stay in touch with friends when work is supposed to be first and foremost?
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
"This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."
Hopefully Yahoo!'s employees can financially afford to figure out what makes them happy and, if this policy doesn't fit their lifestyle, they can find a company that appreciates how multi-dimensional workers actually enhance, not diminish, a workplace.
Not everyone lives to work, as Mayer clearly does. She's a one-dimensional anti-role model for men and women. I'm sure she makes lots of money and has plenty of power. But, in my opinion, she doesn't have a very full life.
Updated to add: A large part of being a successful CEO, especially one at a company whose reputation is already foundering, is savvy PR. It's also about not polarizing your employees. Mayer has stumbled on both counts.

The research interests of Dr. Diana Thomas stretch across the globe.
A German native, she has published papers on the regulation of late medieval German beer markets, on informal property rights institutions among taxi cab drivers in Trujillo, Peru, and even on the Aggie Blue Bikes program at Utah State!
She was named Researcher of the Year at the Huntsman School last spring, and that has brought more attention to her work. An assistant professor of economics and finance, she was recognized for her work exploring the role political entrepreneurs play in changing the formal and informal rules that govern economic exchange and society more generally.
For example, she shows in one paper written with her Huntsman colleagues Tyler Brough and Ben Blau that the 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was an example of redistribution in favor of special interests; specifically, for every dollar a bank spent on lobbying in the five years prior to the bailout, that bank received roughly $500 more in TARP money.
Dr. Thomas earned her Diploma in Business Administration from Fachhochschule Aachen and her B.S. degree in finance from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. She returned to George Mason University to complete an M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics in 2005.

I need information about...
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. For this treatment, you will see a gynecologic oncologist, a gynecologist with specialty training in women's cancers or a medical oncologist, an internal medicine doctor with specialty training in the use of drugs to treat a large variety of cancers.
Many women who get chemotherapy for vaginal cancer have it combined with radiation. This is called radiosensitization or chemoradiation. This helps radiation work better. It also reduces the chance that the cancer will spread. It may be used by itself or before or after surgery.
The role of chemotherapy in women whose vaginal cancer has spread and cannot have radiation or surgery is somewhat controversial and large studies to demonstrate broad benefit have not been performed. However, it is often offered and individual patients have clearly benefited from it.
You may take these drugs by an IV (intravenously) into a vein or by a pill. In some cases, when vaginal cancer has not become invasive (it has not spread), chemotherapy drugs may be in a cream or lotion applied to the affected area of your body.
Chemotherapy given by IV or pill is a systemic treatment because the drugs travel all through the body in the bloodstream. Chemotherapy given as a cream or lotion is local treatment. Most women with vaginal cancer get chemotherapy in an outpatient part of the hospital, at the doctor's office, or at home. In some cases, depending on your health or the drugs you take, you may need to stay in the hospital during treatment.
You receive chemotherapy in cycles. This means you will be treated for a time with chemotherapy and then you will have a rest period. Each treatment and rest period make up 1 cycle. You'll likely have more than 1 cycle of treatment. Your doctor will explain what your treatment plan will be and what you can expect. The length of each treatment period differs, depending on the type of drug you take. With many types of chemotherapy, monthly treatments are common. Sometimes you will get chemotherapy more often.
These are chemotherapy drugs that have been used to treat vaginal cancer:
Adrucil or Efudex (fluorouracil, 5-FU)
Platinol (cisplatin)
Taxol (paclitaxel)
Taxotere (docetaxel)
If you receive chemotherapy and radiation together, you will likely have low doses of cisplatin or fluorouracil (5-FU), or both, with the radiation.

You may not think Microsoft Tag and food go together, but I bet I can change your mind. Tag can provide more information about the food you're buying, and it can be a fun way to personalize a dessert or other treat.
Meyer Natural Beef is a great example – it uses Tag to share more details about its products than the packaging can provide. If you download the free Microsoft Tag app and scan the Tag on the meat wrapper, you'll see a video showcasing the beef's natural origins.
This is a great way for food companies to relay information about their products to consumers concerned with what goes into their bodies. Personally, I'd love to see this go even farther to show the journey of the meat: where the cow was raised, what it was fed, where it was butchered, and how long it's been at the supermarket.
Another great example: What if you want to give people ideas on preparing your product? Eurofood Italy is one of that country's largest food importers and distributors, and wanted a new way to engage customers. So it turned to Tag to stimulate customers' creative cooking juices around its KV Nordic smoked salmon.
When customers scan the Tag on a KV Nordic package, they're taken to a robust mobile site featuring smoked salmon recipes from two famous Italian chefs, Bobo and Chicco Cerea. The recipes are gorgeously presented with full-color photos. Customers can even email the recipes to friends directly from their mobile phone.
Finally, finding out more about your food is important, but what about making Tags edible? I'm sure you noticed the photo of oh-so-delicious cupcakes topped off with an edible chocolate Tag cookie. These Tags are scannable and take you to a video on ways to use Tags. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating edible Tags.
If you have additional ideas on how to use Tags with food, give me a shout on Facebook and Twitter. I'd love to hear your ideas.

In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes that there are some General Managers who have a few regrets regarding last winter. Red Sox GM Ben Cherington wishes he had done more for the rotation. Angels GM Jerry Dipoto probably would have liked to boost the bullpen more during the team's spending frenzy which netted Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd was asked to assess his own mistakes and said, "How long is this article? Just kidding. We all have regrets. When you make the amount of decisions we do, you make mistakes. So this year [Jeremy] Guthrie was acquired to give us innings, but Coors [Field] got him and that hurt us. We had such a lack of experience everywhere else. There was no margin for error, and I screwed up." Here's more from today's column.
Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano would make a lot of sense for the Rays as a DH, especially since the Cubs would pick up the bulk of his final two years under contract. Soriano could also help the Blue Jays, Orioles, or Indians.

They wouldn't. A trade like that would be about how much of his salary Tampa was willing to eat, not what the Cubs got in return.

Yanks will slide a little bit; notch above .500 team.
Sox and Jays are a mess.

If they are in bent on trading Shields, you mite see him go to the Royals for Billy Butler.They need hitting, KC needs pitching, and that deal w/b great for both.In any event, the Rays w/b tough to beat just as they were this season.
Agree that Boston w/b improved and harder to beat but not yet a contender.Don't know about Toronto.
Expect NY to come back tough. They're the favorite in the AL East.

That's good advice you were given.
I'm wondering how/why you decided to do a documentary on this topic when you seem to know so little about it. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I had to ask.
Spend some time on the Venganza site and you'll start to get the spirit and flavor of this religion. You'll also see how sad much of the hate mail (mostly from God-loves-you Xians) is, and this in turn will clue you in on the different world views that find themselves at odds here. It will also point you to articles on FSM-inspired events, activities, art, protests and counter-protests.
And don't forget, we have a graph!
Oh, and be sure to let us know what you end up producing.

Could you please, please, please include interviews from people from the Kansas school board in this documentary? Check the responses from "The Letter". I think Bobby received a thank you/much needed letter from one of them.

I would love to interview some of those people, the only problem being that I live in Australia, and being a low budget film I can't fly over to get an interview or two.

|Beech Creek Bog could be a "unique wetland"
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 15 May 2007 05:33
Beech Creek Bog is now on the state's list for consideration as "unique wetlands."One of 33 properties on the list, the Bog was the focus of a preservation effort five years ago. By reclassifying the Bog as a "unique wetland," the site will receive additional protection. The Bog is 120 acres and has been preserved through the efforts of the Blue Ridge Rural Land Trust. Reclassification will be considered at hearings in Raleigh later this month.

Who cares where all the branches were. Tell us about the noncertificated pilot! What makes him noncertificated, etc...
100% with you, very poor report.
Well, at 7 miles, he had the field in sight. Now, when the cop went to investigate/look, he observed the beacon lit and rotating but no runway lights. Did they just shut off when he crashed, which had probably already happened by that time>
Some of those are turned on by plane (via radio), and will auto shutoff in a given period of time. 7 Miles Visibility seems like he should have made it, but lists fog... Sounds as though the entire report got too foggy.
I'll add some speculation. See BENEKOS post below about the location. He raises an interesting point.
Ok but did that mean for IFR flight or what? Doesnt say there is something left out of the report.
There isn't a flight on that day for N499SW, so it probably wasn't a full IFR flight even though the article mentions it being cleared for a GPS approach. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N499SW
Just kinda curious and I am in agreement that nothing was filed, but what about the NTSB report here that said he reported field in sight at 7 miles and CANCELLED HIS FLIGHT PLAN. I could understand one being closed, but CANCELLED. Did they close or did they just wipe it out completly. Obviously he got from Coolidge somehow????? Just curious
Looks like he actually was operating under an IFR flight plan, but under this ident and not his tail number:
[This poster has been suspended.]
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the pilot had been cleared for the GPS-A instrument approach procedure for the Libby Airport. The clearance had a crossing restriction of 10,700 feet at the PACCE intersection, which was the initial approach fix for the GPS-A approach. The pilot acknowledged that clearance at 2353. At 2359, the airplane target was about 7 miles south of the airport; the pilot reported the field in sight, and cancelled the IFR flight plan. Copy from the NTSB report. Once more CFIT i bet. I have known guys that have from 172's to one with a King Air 200 with no PPL or any at all. All of us with ATP's makes us sound cool. But it dont mean you can fly worth a S***. A lot of guys are CFI's and build the time but its hard to go from a 172 to a King air. Unless your Doug White N550DW he done it but with a lot of help. Poor man he got a good pilot and he died mid flight.
I just wish somebody would answer my question up above about the lights. Once pilot activated, do they timer off or do they have to be cut off. I haven't used that in years and honestly can't remember. I just wonder if they timer off or if his crash turned them off. Obviously he had activated them as he called the field but the cop said none were on.
[This poster has been suspended.]
I think 15 min is whats in the REG's on it. But it is on a timer. I dont think he had the field in sight at all. If he wanted to drop below the the MDA of 10,700 at PACCE. If he did not cancel his IFR flight plan he would have got a low alttued alert from ATC. Check out the IAP for that airport.I think he was still IMC and wanted to drop down to try and get in to land.
I am not sure what the regs say, but it depends on the airport. I think 15 is a minimum, but have seen some stay on for 30.
Yeah, and they continue to stay on if traffic is announcing on the CTAF.
Simmer down there old man, u don't want to blow an o ring, yours are out of production...
LOL, you know him too I see.
Preacher, pilot controlled lighting stays on approximately 15 minutes after being activated.
Yes, Pilot controlled lighting will time out after 15 minutes (standard according to AIM). You can "reset" the timer by clicking the mic again...3/5/7 times Low, med, high intensity lighting if the airport has the option. I usually will turn on the lights about 10-15 miles out so I can find the airport and then will reset the timer on final. In my experience, however, the lights will start to flash on and off for a few seconds before completely going dark. Also, "airport in sight" could have meant just the beacon and does not necessarily mean he had turned on the airport lights.
The lights do not flash, just simply turn off. Making an airfield flash would be hard on the regulators.
Well, I was wonderng that, if he just had the Beacon. Guess we won't know. Tks to all ya'll for the resonse on the lights. I was thinking timer but just wasn't sure.lol.
Found out thru a good friend who knew the guy see my reply Ijust posted. The runway lights were on and timed out. A fellow he knows at Libby saw them on he is a pilot who lives there. And he could not have had the field in sight as it was snowing heavy at the time. He passed over a service station at 300ft the person could hardly see the AC. He was on downwind when that happened.
He said he had the field in sight that could have been just the beacon which would always be on with or without the runway lights. Him crashing would have made no diffrence had the lights been on as when turned on they time out after a period of time dont know how long.
Ha found out about the pilot from a person who knew him from Libby, he never had any licence. His family had always had airplanes thats how he learned. A few years back he started to get one. Didnt get very far into it either. No instruction he also had a jet that he flew but always had a pilot with him. The runway lights were on for there period of time and timed out. He went over a service station several miles away in heavy snow at about 300ft. This was before he would have turned final so he never could have had the airport in sight due to weather. It was also reported that this was not unusual for him to do either. No old bold pilot here just a dead one that took someone with him. All of this was told to my friend who knows several people there and who are pilots too.
tks, man and below too.
So much conjecture. Amazing.
That's what makes this column go araound.lol
From what I understand the PIC held only a Student Pilot certificate. He had flown this same route many times and in IFR conditions before but had never held a Private Pilot Certificate or IFR or MEL rating. You can go to the Daily Interlake web page for more info.
The pilot reported rwy insight 7 miles SOUTH of the airport while the police officer reported him over the town that was NORTH of the filed turning to the airport. This means he did a go around and tried to return visually over unknown terrain with the fatal result.
Strange as it might have been, it could have been another plane. You wouldn't think so, that late and low but who knows.
Wow Mike Walsh...hope his passenger was informed of all that prior to this flight! Also...how did he get the keys?
No real info here. Not worth reading. Besides, as a 31 year professional I never state opinions on another pilots action in a situation that I was not involved in. In other words, you need to be there.
[This poster has been suspended.]
Try the ntsb report then. As a 33 year old pro lol. Seee my below post. And if you was ther to see you would be dead or since ur a pro may not have crashed thus all this is then BS and "Not worth reading"
I'm not 33 yo I am retired and flew for a major airline for 31 years. We keep our views about other pilots misfortunes under our hat. Never heard another pro pilot in my career speak about what other pilots should have done. Personally, I'm affected when any pilot augers in. That's what real pros do.
Too a degree I agree with you... However, there are times to speak up.
Might sound like a made up story, but was riding jump seat in a fully loaded 737-200 (-15 engines). Due to the fuel crunch we were taxing on one engine. Capt called for the FO to start the number one engine, he could not get air to it no matter what he said and being young and not wanting to say something, I saw that the Cross Bleed Valve was in the Closed Position (Older Boeing pilots know what I am talking about) and it should have been in the AUTO Position. F/O Touched the switch 4 times and never noticed. He told the Captain that he could not get air to number 1. Captain did the same thing, touched the valve switch and did not notice that it was in manual closed. I figured being in Sterile cockpit if he could not get it open, that I would point it out, and I did. Just at that time we are at the end of the runway and the controller called out #$%^^& 4321 (not giving the company name) cleared for immediate take off. We turned onto the runway, just starting to motor the number 1. Number 2 engine at full takeoff power rolling down the runway. Just as we rotate, Captain pumped fuel into number 1 and immediately brought the power up to full power... First (and only) time I was scared in a plane. I do not remember who the captain was, but he thanked me as I departed the plane.
He owned the company that owned the airplane.
All speculation is irrelevant if the guy didnt even have a pilots license!!!!!!
Griff...if what walsh says is true about the pilot, i dont see where opinions matter. Wow!!!
That's what I said. I have and feel I should have no opinion.
Was the passenger maybe a "certificated" pilot?? Maybe??
Not according to the latest info.
Did Boyd Butler approve this message? He is the Owner of Flight Aware apperently

|Wednesday, 29 June 2011 12:03
Appalachian State University women's soccer head coach Sarah Strickland announced the hiring of assistant coach Lindsey Morgan on Wednesday.Morgan spent the 2010 season at Stephen F. Austin, where she helped guide the squad to a 13-5-2 record and a second place in the Southland Conference.
Strickland noted, "I am excited to welcome Lindsey into the Appalachian State family. She is a very enthusiastic coach that is going to make an immediate impact on our team. Lindsey really impressed the players and staff on her visit to Appalachian and we cannot wait for her to begin working this summer."
Prior to serving at SFA, Morgan spent the 2009 season coaching her alma mater, Columbus State University, where she earned four letters. As an assistant, Morgan coached the Cougars to a 16-3-3 overall mark and 8-1-1 conference record.

Now, if you want to argue that's not worth it, then fine, do that. But to say that all you get is another tick of Renewing Mist is factually incorrect.
Now, if you want to argue that's not worth it, then fine, do that. But to say that all you get is another tick of Renewing Mist is factually incorrect.
Already below the GCD
Yes, SCK does go faster.
So, ok you get 2 things, 3 if you count soothing mist.
People will EVENTUALLY, maybe now or later, have to go for the 5400 breakpoint. The problem is that 1350 haste is absolutely nothing anymore! 2 epic items can easily provide that much haste. Thus players will have to decide between allowing their haste beyond 1350 being wasted, or striving to get to the next breakpoint. Now at what point it becomes more effective to switch, idk. It would be tricky to figure out and would likely take logs, and even then it could easily vary between fights. However, it is an obvious outcome.

1345 not 1350 (for the min/max crowd)
Small nerfs.. oh wait!
Hello nerfstick!! Boo Hoo ........
It was fun while it lasted, all the changes are meaningless with the HUGE exception on how ReM procs, ticks, and spreads. That change alone will make monks much less desirable raid healers and since we can't single target heal worth shit (which wasn't addressed at all) we likely are going to main swap back to whatever we were before. Luckily this is still beta/ptr junk so I can always hope it never makes it to live.
Whats this stupid bullshit that everythings costing more mana for mistweavers... are you mad we go oom quicker then any healer maybe with the exception of druids. mistweaver monks are gonnu end up ruined.
Seems like a fair "nerf" to me. And yes, my main is an MW.
Mana expending abilities get a small increase in mana cost (edit: 10%, ouch lol), but to counterbalance your crit is now a part of your mana regen which to me seems even and can make you consider using the mana pool increasing meta gem since the mana tea procs might allow you to use 2 stacks of mana tea on cd, maybe.
T30 talents get nerfed, but again, this is to counterbalance the breakpoint on when to use uplift instead of chi burst assuming the raid is stacked since you'll have less players with ReM.
ReM gets its effective healing reduced but it will tick every 2 seconds instead of every 3 meaning you'll have 9 ticks instead of 6 without mentioning that haste breakpoints on ReM will be easier to reach if they tick every 2 secs + the extra 50% haste you receive from gear with wise serpent stance active.
Overall, the only "real" or noticeable nerf is to the amount of targets ReM can spread to, it will reduce our burst healing when combined with TfT to get some uplifts on the go.
It's not the end of the world, far from it. We'll still be very powerful AoE healers, so I don't understand this hysteria. It's not even fun being OP in my honest opinion since other people devalue your performance because "your spec is too powerful".
Last edited by Luqt; 2012-11-03 at 02:32 AM.
"everything" costs 10% more. But Soothing Mists costs 33% less. Net gain is still a hefty reduction relative to live. And what are the other mana things? Expel Harm, Renewing Mists, Spinning Crane Kick, Crackling Jade Lightning, Surging Mists. I'm not going to cry over most of those. SCK is the only one that's even remotely rough, and that probably deserves to cost more given how much it heals. Surging Mists I use so infrequently as to not give a damn. Hell, most of the time when I do use it I'm Fistweaving, have five stacks of the tiger palm buff, and it's free.
Question: What are the haste breakpoints for Enveloping Mists?
There's only one spell they need to change to fix our abysmal tank healing, Surging Mist.
I think it's cost & healing done should be based around whether you're casting it or using it while channeling soothing mist, the cast version should heal for the current amount, but have it's mana cost decreased by about 10%~ and it's cast time should be increased to 2.5 (or 3?) seconds, the version cast while channeling SM will heal for 40-60% less but have it's mana cost cut down by 60%.
This will allow us to respond to burst damage better, either by throwing out a couple cheap, weak heals, or casting a long, expensive big heal right before the tank takes any burst damage.
I'm terrible with numbers and obviously these aren't the numbers that should be used, but you get the idea, we need a way to quickly respond to someone being low on health without burning half our mana pool.

Kellen Trujillo, right, goes into his slide towards home plate to score the game-winning run for the Carbon High Dinos in their 6-5 win over East High in eight innings on Friday, April 5 at the Carbon High Baseball Field. Trujillo scored on a single by Dino catcher Kayden Feichko in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Carbon High's Derek Young watches a pitch head toward the plate during the seventh inning of Carbon's 6-5 win over East High on Friday afternoon.
Carbon High senior Kayden Feichko provided the game-winning hit for the Dinos in the bottom of the eighth inning to help complete the 6-5 comeback win over East High on Friday afternoon.
After a rough start to Region 12 play losing their first two games to perennial powerhouse Spanish Fork, the Carbon High baseball team was looking for a spark to get them back on track.
Enter Kayden Feichko.
The senior provided the clutch hit in the bottom of the eighth inning that the Dinos were searching for in a 6-5 comeback win over 4A East High on Friday afternoon at home.
"He (Spanish Fork pitcher Kim Doane) threw me a fastball down the middle and I was just looking to put the ball into play," said Feichko after the game.
The win over East capped a turnaround week for the Dinos as they also went on the road and defeated 4A Olympus 14-2 on April 3.
Carbon High head coach Troy Moynier said the team still has many areas in need of improve but the win was a step in the right direction.
"We got some hits early in the game and we were finally able to get that hit from Kayden in the end to win it," said Moynier.
The momentum in the game shifted between both teams like weights on a pendulum. East opened the game with a four run first inning off Carbon starter Dakota Cisneros who struggled to find the strike zone and the defense behind picked up an early error allowing the runs to score.
The Dinos answered back in the bottom of the first with a two-out RBI double by Feichko scoring Bryce Blackburn.
In the bottom of the second inning, CHS third base coach Jeff Cisneros was tossed from the game after arguing about a base runner interference call with the home plate umpire.
The Dinos didn't let that faze them as they added two more runs in the inning on a error and an RBI single by Tyler Procarione to cut the East lead to 4-3.
Dakota Cisneros ran into trouble in the top of the third inning as East got a leadoff double and an error moved the runner over to third base. Cisneros struck out the next batter and got two ground outs to get out of the inning with no damage.
East broke through scoring a run on another Dino error in the top of the fifth inning to make it 5-3.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Dinos answered back with two runs on an RBI single by Derek Young and a sac fly by Cole Fossat to tie the game at 5-5.
In the sixth inning, Cisneros again escaped damage after allowing the first two batters to reach base. He came back with a strikeout against the next batter and induced an interesting double play as Blackburn scooped up a grounder to second and threw to Young at first for the out. The East base runner rounded third too far, possibly thinking the inning was over, and the Dinos took advantage by catching him in a rundown and tagging him out at home plate.
The Dinos were unable to capitalize on scoring chances in the sixth and seventh innings.
Young, who has become a top option in relief, once again was called on by Moynier to come in relief. Young answered with shutdown innings in the seventh and eighth keeping the East offense from generating any offense.
In the bottom of the eighth, Kellen Trujillo walked and a balk by East's Doane moved him to second base. Feichko responded with a single to right field as the Carbon High dugout emptied to celebrate the win on the field.
"I've been very pleased with his work coming in late in games and knowing that he can throw well," Moynier said of Young.
Young, who played catcher, first base and pitcher in the game, said he just wants to be out there with the team trying to get a win.
"As long as I'm out there on the field playing, I'm happy," he said.
With the tough start to the Region 12 season, Young said the team wanted to come back strong against 4A schools during a break in the region schedule.
"These were two big wins for us and it helped test the character of our team," he said.
While the team has struggled on offense over the start of the season, Young said he wasn't surprised that it was a key hit by Feichko that helped secure the victory.
"He got the big hit today and he's done that for us a lot this season," Young explained.
With the two wins, Carbon High (7-5 overall, 0-2 Region 12) will look to carry their momentum with them as they will travel to Delta on Tuesday, April 9 before returning home to host them on April 11 at the Carbon High Baseball Field at 3:30 p.m.
