(Sep 30, 2013) The Parliament of Burundi adopted a new Tax Procedure Code on September 6, 2013. (Jean Harahagazwe & Anapaula Trindade Marinho, Burundi: Tax Procedure Code enacted by Parliament (Sept. 26, 2013), International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation online subscription database; for a general guide to taxation in Burundi (with rates as of Nov. 2012), see Burundi, DELOITTE (last visited Sept. 26, 2013).)
According to Senator Fidès Sinankwa, the legislation was initiated as part of the effort to modernize Burundian tax law, by establishing procedures to ensure the effectiveness of the taxation work of the Burundi Revenue Authority (Office Burundais des Recettes, or OBR), protect the rights of the taxpayer, and strengthen mutual trust between taxpayers and the revenue authorities. In addition, she stated, taxation procedures were governed by a scattering of procedural rules in different legal texts, complicating their application. The legislation aims to correct these deficiencies by providing uniform procedures for each of the types of taxes managed by the OBR. (Senator Fidès Sinankwa, President, Standing Committee Responsible for Economic Affairs, Environment, Finance and Budget, Rapport sur le projet de loi relatif aux procédures fiscales [Report on the Draft Law on Tax Procedures], Burundi Senate website (last visited Sept. 26, 2013).)
The 12 chapters of the draft legislation included chapters on taxpayer registration requirements, tax audits, the procedures for rectifying a tax assessment, the tax litigation process, the rules of evidence, tax collection, and default interest and penalties. (
In terms of the appeals available to taxpayers under the new Code, it will now be possible to file an appeal of a proposed tax levy to the General Commissioner of the OBR. During the appeal process, payment of the disputed tax is suspended. Appeals of disputes arising after the imposition of the tax are to be addressed to the Ministry of Finance. Finally, in disputes involving cases in which the imposition of the tax is upheld, taxpayers have the right to appeal to a special committee that operates under conditions and modalities determined by the Ministry of Finance.

The short answer is yes BUT, I don't think that will be the case. Both of their seasons are progressing in a similar manner to when they were promoted to Frederick last year. They both struggled and then made the adjustments. The last month of the season they were both dominant and they were smokin in the playoffs.

I didn't address him because he's not signed yet and when he is he can't be traded until next summer.

Scouts from the Brewers and Orioles watched as Aaron Harang pitched in a minor league game today, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. Harang, who doesn't have a clear role on the Dodgers' pitching staff at this point, pitched three scoreless innings. The 34-year-old appears to be a likely trade candidate given his team's pitching depth.
Harang started 31 games for the Dodgers last year, posting a 3.61 ERA with 6.6 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 in 179 2/3 innings. The 34-year-old will earn $7MM in 2013 and his contract includes a $7MM mutual option with a $2MM buyout for 2014.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/03/b ... arang.html
Even though we have a pretty shaky top four starting pitchers, and we'd be able to get Harang for scraps, I would not be a fan of trade to acquire him.
- he posted career bests or near career bests in ERA, H/9, HR/9 at age 34
- he posted a career high walk rate and near career low strikeout rate last year
- a 1.403 WHIP, 4.14 FIP, and 4.95 xFIP suggest a mid 3 ERA is simply unsustainable
- he is expensive at $7mil this year and at least a $2mil buyout for 2014
- pitching in the national league, in two pitcher's parks, he suddenly posts respectable ERA's.
Aaron Harang is not much of an upgrade over Steve Johnson in my opinion. Chris Capuano is the more attractive piece.

For the first time in recent memory, hockey's biggest US market made the least splash on arguably the NHL's most decorated non-playoff day.
There were no major trades, salary dumps, veterans acquired for the playoff push. There were two depth moves to help the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack's injury situation and give the Rangers an emergency 7th defenseman, if necessary.
Instead of a Sheldon Souray or Tomas Kaberle, the Rangers acquired Kris Newbury and Anders Erikkson, both of whom will have little to no impact on the playoff chase in New York.
Following the 3 pm deadline, many throughout the Rangers fan base, blogosphere, and media were critical of the lack of player movement from GM Glen Sather. From what we've been told, Sather did try to make a move or two, but the price was simply too high.
It's easy to look at what should have been done, like moving out a big contract such as Wade Redden's. The debate raged on for weeks in regards to whether the Rangers were "buyers" or "sellers," but in reality they couldn't really be either.
In order to be a seller, you need to have a team willing to take on your bad, veteran, or expiring contracts in exchange for prospects and picks. No NHL team is going to reasonably take on a Redden or Michal Rozsival in an even swap. For a team, particularly at the deadline, to take on a contract like that, the Rangers would have to throw in a sweetener.
Rival GM's know this and are of the mindset, "We'll take your bad defensive contracts, but we also want Brandon Dubinsky or Marc Staal." Essentially, they have Sather in a corner. So then there becomes the discussion of whether losing an asset like Dubinsky is worth alleviating the cap hit and gaining whatever player you get back in return.
Ultimately, that's what happened. Sure, Sather could have swung a deal for a player like Ryan Whitney or Peter Mueller, but he would have had to sacrifice an integral piece to the Rangers puzzle.
Frankly, it wasn't worth it.
Aside from the cap situation, the Rangers honestly didn't have much to sell. Could a team have used a player like Vinny Prospal? Sure, but he is a major factor and leader on this team and they are still in the playoff hunt. No member of MSG Management is going to simply allow Sather to tank the last part of the season while they are so close. No member of Cablevision is going to say, "Glen, we brought in Marian Gaborik, but we're OK with rebuilding."
It's not reality.
Aside from Prospal, no team was going to take on Olli Jokinen for similar reasons as Redden and Rozsival. Who else on the roster has value to a contender? Chris Drury? Ryan Callahan? Of course, but Sather isn't going to move them.
Truth be told, when most fans and media talk about selling and rebuilding, they are referring to the contracts and Redden and Rozsival and the potential for a draft pick return for Prospal and possibly Erik Christensen.
That's it.
On the flip side, the Rangers couldn't be buyers either for the same reason. A perfect example is the trade of Mueller from Phoenix to Colorado in exchange for Wojtek Wolski. Which Ranger player is equivalent to Wolski? Callahan, maybe. Would you be willing to give up Callahan for Mueller? Didn't think so.
One player who we touted on Pucks on Broadway, Whitney, was moved and could have been a help for the Rangers. But, Anaheim received Lubomir Visnovsky in return from Edmonton. Is any Ranger defenseman in the same scoring category as Visnovsky? No. So, again, the Rangers would have had to sweeten the deal.
It just didn't make sense long term.
Criticize the Rangers for the right reasons: poor early round drafting, bad veteran contracts, and signing too many similar players. But on this trade deadline, Sather got it right. He had little to work with and he wasn't sacrificing the future for the sake of a half-assed playoff run.
Agree or disagree, the Rangers are far better today and the future for the lack of careless moves yesterday.
Thanks to all of those who joined us for our day-long live chat. Special thanks to Bruce Berlet of the Hartford Courant, Jess Rubenstein of Prospect Park, Jonathan Ragus of NYR Nation, and Blueshirt Bulletin Assistant Editor Greg Donahue for stopping in and sharing their toughts and analyses.

|More rain needed in High Country
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 04 June 2007 06:40
While water conservation methods and weekend rain have helped, the drought is still on for several counties in North Carolina, including Avery.While 83 counties are in drought, only 17, including Avery and Burke, are on the non-essential water use list. Residents of Avery are asked not to wash cars or use water for ornamental purposes. The drought conditions have affected over three fourths of the state. The mountains have been hit the hardest. According to the National Weather Service, the mountains received the smallest benefit from the weekend storms.

Karen D. Romeo, 51, Sackets Harbor, was charged by state police at 12:25 p.m. Thursday at 21800 Towne Center Drive with first-degree operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, reckless driving, speeding and unsafe lane change.
Ms. Romeo is the advertising manager for the Watertown Daily Times.
Karen has had a recent health issue and experienced a severe reaction to her medication, said Robert D. Gorman, managing editor of the Times. Fortunately, no one was injured.
State police said Ms. Romeos vehicle struck two unoccupied parked vehicles while backing out of a parking spot at the Walmart Supercenter, Route 3, about noon Thursday. She failed to stop at two stop signs in the parking lot and was observed failing to yield to oncoming traffic, police said.
A trooper stopped Ms. Romeo across the street in the Target parking lot at Towne Center plaza after her vehicle struck another car and other unidentified objects, state police said.
Surveillance video showed that she left the first parking lot without notifying the vehicles owners, police said.
She was given an appearance ticket for Watertown Town Court.

CANTON - Each school day, nearly 45 percent of high school juniors and seniors in St. Lawrence Countys public schools leave their home district to take classes at one of the career and technical centers operated by the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
The growing trend illustrates that regional high schools could work in the north country, according to some educators.
Weve already got transportation streams set up, said Thomas A. Burns, superintendent of St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES. In several of our districts, more than half their juniors and seniors are taking classes at our tech centers.
Faced with dwindling financial resources and declining student enrollments, many local school districts have been forced to cut elective classes, programs and teachers over the past several years.
As a result, Mr. Burns said, a growing number of districts are making up the shortfall by sending students to programs offered at one of the three BOCES technical centers. The districts have to pay tuition, but they get reimbursed for a portion of their costs through BOCES aid.
Because districts have been in tough financial situation they are cutting elective courses at the high school level, he said. The career and technical education options have become more viable.
This year, 43.19 percent of eligible students in the regions 18 public school districts are enrolled at one of BOCES three career and technical centers, commonly known as Seaway Tech, Norwood, Northwest Tech, Ogdensburg and Southwest Tech, Fowler.
Mr. Burns believes the percentage may be the highest out of all the states BOCES regions.
The percentage is higher than neighboring BOCES regions, such as Jefferson-Lewis, which reports about 27 percent, and Franklin-Essex, which has about 32 percent of its juniors and seniors at tech centers.
The student portion varies among the districts, ranging from a high of 64 percent at Harrisville Central to a low of 21 percent from Massena Central. (See chart on page A-4).
The three centers serve a total of 1,006 students this year, a number thats projected to climb next year, said Rachelle E. Romodo, BOCES supervisor of instruction. This years total compares to 994 during the 2011-12 school year.
She said the number of students in the allied health program, for example, is set to increase from 64 to 81 next year. Also, cosmetology is expected to increase from 99 to 124 students.
Besides traditional programs like cosmetology, automotive technology and construction trades, BOCES has expanded in recent years to offer more academically challenging programs such as allied health and pre-engineering, both one-year programs. Other BOCES offerings include culinary arts, criminal justice, early childhood education, building trades, metal working, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, environmental technology, electronics, graphic communications, computer and business technology, and health careers.
Next year, a pharmacy technician program may be offered in conjunction with Kinney Drugs Inc., Gouverneur. While most programs are for two years, expanding into one-year programs provides more options for high school seniors who may have more room in their schedules for BOCES classes.
We are in constant communication with our districts. We try to be responsive to what the districts are requesting, Ms. Romodo said.
Faced with a tough job market, more teenagers are receptive to the idea of learning a trade or technical skills that may help them land a job or continue their education.
Some students want to have a job skill so they can earn money while theyre attending college to help pay their tuition bills, Ms. Romodo said.
Using cosmetology as an example, she said some students want to make that field their career, while others see the income potential that can help them pursue other goals.
They may not be interested in being a cosmetologist for the rest of their life, but they want a solid income while theyre going to college, she said. Our programs provide skills that can provide a stable, good income.
The idea of creating regional high schools in St. Lawrence County was one option mentioned in a 2010 Regional Consolidation, Reorganization and Shared Services Feasibilty Study prepared by the Rural Schools Association. The state does not have legislation in place to authorize regional high schools, but supporters are pushing state officials to create the mechanism.
Concerns have been raised regarding the distances students would have to travel to reach a regional high school. Others are concerned that individual districts would lose their identity, traditions and their own sports teams. Depending on the model thats chosen, districts could retain their own elementary schools and middle schools.
Supporters argue that a regional high school would be able to offer more advanced placement classes, enhanced music and art programs and a more comprehensive academic program for students.

CANTON - A Maryland man faces up to 10 years in federal prison after being found guilty at trial Thursday of smuggling his nephew into the United States at Fort Covington.
Guillermo A. Suarez, 48, Gaithersburg, Md., was found guilty following a two-day trial in U.S. District Court, Albany, of alien smuggling, attempting to transport an illegal alien and inducing an alien to enter the United States illegally, according to the U.S. attorneys office.
Mr. Suarez, who prosecutors said is a lawful permanent U.S. resident, was charged Nov. 19 in Fort Covington after he helped his nephew Miguel Balsera-Dorronsoro, an undocumented alien, enter the United States from Canada outside a designated port of entry.
Prosecutors said Mr. Suarez dropped his nephew off on the Canadian side of the border and entered the United States by car through the Fort Covington port of entry. His nephew crossed the border on foot through the woods about 3 miles east of the port of entry.
During an inspection of Mr. Suarezs car, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officers found maps of the border and luggage belonging to Mr. Suarezs nephew.
According to court documents, Mr. Balsera-Dorronsoro was found by other officers near Burns-Holden Road in Fort Covington.
Mr. Suarez faces up to 10 years in prison on the alien smuggling count and up to five years in prison on the other two counts. Sentencing was set for Jan. 6.
Mr. Balsera-Dorronsoro pleaded guilty Dec. 20 to entering the United States without an inspection and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. Court documents show him listed as a witness against his uncle at trial.

Drafting a Sales Comp Plan? Halt.
Many executives make the mistake of drafting a comp plan around their existing sales team. Instead, stop and think about the kind of people that would help your company grow. Then create a sales compensation plan around those folks. Next step: go hire those people. Get them started on the plan.
What do you do about your existing sales team? "You may need to put something in place for them to work," says Scott Wintrip, of the Wintrip Consulting Group and StaffingU. But really it's a temporary measure. The idea here is to figure out what kind of people you need to accomplish certain goals. Compare these to your existing teams. This will tell you where you are now and what you need to do. Read: Gap analysis.
Google sales compensation plans and you get 26,900,000 results. But not all advice is equal. Attend Staffing Industry Analysts' Executive Forum in San Diego on March 20th where experts like Wintrip and Mark Donnolo of Sales Globe are joined by Act-I Group's Stacie Habegger and Conor Smith from The Boss Group to talk about how to compensate your sales folk the right way.
It's not just about the tactics that staffing executives need to employ. It's about strategies, turning conventional wisdom on its head and real life case studies. "It has to be simple to the point where a recruiter or salesperson has no problem calculating their commission," says Conor Smith. And they get motivated to do more — get bigger deals — as there is no ambiguity on how they are getting paid.
Having the right comp plan benefits your staff, your bottom line, and your clients. Here's how. A motivated, well-paid staff means they treat the clients well. Happy clients mean more business your way, more deals for the sales folks. It's the sales comp plan that keeps giving.

ORLEANS–Shaquille Urie scored arguably the prettiest goal of the season for Lake Region, heading the ball past Hazen's Murphy Simmons seven minutes into the second half to secure the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon.
Lake Region got off to the hot start, and if it wasn't for Simmons heroics in goal, the score would have been much more lopsided.
His first big save came against eventual goal scorer Urie.
Jeremy Dean had the ball deep in Hazen territory when he lofted a cross into the middle of the box.
Urie anticipated the move and was there for the header, but so was Simmons, and the score remained tied at 0-0.
What the Rangers did exceptionally well on Wednesday was controlling the middle of the field then transitioning the ball to the open wingers sprinting down the sides.
This tactic finally paid off with 12:11 left to play in the first half.
After repeated attempts to get the ball into the eighteen for shot, Anthony Wright succeeded, sending the ball from the far left side of the field to Billy Cashin
Cashin in turn, controlled the cross, juked the Hazen netminder to the ground and buried a low shot in the far right corner of the net.
The goal opened up the flood gates of offense.
Shot after shot peppered the Hazen net, but Simmons stood strong, keeping the nets empty for the remainder of the half.
As the first was winding down, Hazen was awarded a free kick close to the Ranger eighteen, but they could not get the ball past the wall, and it stayed 1-0 Lake Region after one.
The blue and white did not slack off as they started the second.
The offense kept coming, and subsequently cashed in Urie's second header attempt of the game.
Clint Provoncha was the architect on the the play, setting up Urie with a gorgeous feed near the six yard line.
Timing the ball perfectly Urie went up and knocked it home with 33:29 left to play in the second.
"I knew that once Clint got on the outside I could get a cross in the central if I was in the right spot and I had the ability to put it in the net," said Urie after the game.
Feeling secure with the two goal lead the Rangers started to coast a bit after the Urie goal.
"I thought we had controlled the pace of the match up until the second goal, " said Evans. "When we got up two nothing I thought we sat back and the long ball started coming into play and we were just kicking it out. That is not the style we want to play."
The Wildcats, led by their captain Walker McAllister sensed the shift in attitude and set about to the business of getting back into the game.
It would be McAllister setting up the lone Hazen goal in the twenty-first minute of the second half.
Blazing down the left side of the Ranger net, Walker sent the ball into the middle to Dimitri Vasiliadis.
Vasiliadis worked a little magic, using short dribbles and some nice cuts to weave his way through multiple Rangers until he was just about on top of LR's goalie Dennis Newland.
With about four feet in between the ball and the goal line, Dimitri left nothing to chance, blasting the ball with authority into the Ranger net.
"I wish we had come out with that kind of intensity in the first half," said Hazen coach Mike Noyes.
It was about this time that the Rangers came out of their relaxed state and got back into the game.
A more even contest commenced, with the two teams battling for control of the ball.
With six minutes left, the Wildcats really turned up the pressure, but the Ranger defense was even better.
Drew Gallup, Byron Burdick, along with Charlie Epinette and Alex Beauregard were impressive, repeatedly denying Hazen the opportunity to get to the Ranger net.
As precious time clicked off of the clock, every Wildcat run was thwarted with calm efficiency, and before too long, the horn sounded to announce the 2-1 Ranger victory.
Newland had five stops for the now 5-2 Rangers, while Simmons stopped eight for the Wildcats who drop to 2-3-1.
Next up is a trip to Oxbow on Saturday to take on the Olympians. Game time is 11:00 AM.

While millions of Americans celebrated the birth of the Prince of Peace, agents of the federal government were delivering death by remote control overseas.
On Friday, December 28, for example, five people were killed and three others injured in a U.S. drone attack on a house in the Mana Gurbaz area of the remote and mountainous Shawal Valley in Pakistan's North Waziristan Agency.
According to a report filed by Pakistan's The News International:
Official and tribal sources said the drone fired four missiles and pounded a house in the forest-covered Shawal Valley, sited 90 kilometres northwest of Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan.
Witnesses indicate that "it was for the first time that a drone carried out [a] missile attack in the cloudy and rainy weather in the volatile tribal region." Chances are it won't be the last.
One official reports that the death toll from the drone strike could increase if those victims wounded in the attack die as a result of their injuries. "There was heavy snowfall in Shawal [V]alley when the drone fired missiles and targeted a house," the unnamed official told The News International.
Given the callous and indiscriminate approach of the Obama administration to the names and numbers of those assassinated in the name of "national security," it is not surprising that "there was no immediate information about the identity of those killed in the drone attack."
Naturally, the White House promises that those targeted by the Predators are militants determined to harm Americans. But given the disregard for discrimination in the drone strikes, how many of those killed were innocent bystanders? How many of the actual "targets" were themselves innocent or at least had no demonstrable ties to terrorist organizations? This question will never be known with certainty because the president alone serves as judge, jury, and executioner — and does not believe he is obliged to provide evidence to the American people.

Screen Color Correction
You can fine tune the colors of the image based on a variation of
screen color - adjustments can be made from Normal and Greenboard,
as well as additional tuning for projecting onto any other colored
Dynamic Gamma
When you are projecting moving images with low contrast, the REALiS
WUX5000 can employ a Dynamic Gamma function to heighten contrasts.
It automatically brings up the bright areas and pushes down the dark
so the video can be seen more clearly. This function operates at
your choice, so if the original image is acceptable, there is no
need to employ Dynamic Gamma.
Memory Color Correction
This function emphasizes skin tones and blues in order to better
match most viewers memory of these shades. It works by shifting
colors in the skin-tone range and boosts the blue component. The
degree of brightness in R, G, B as well as C, M, Y can be adjusted
as set between low, medium and high.
Ambient Light Function
An advanced function which can be used to compensate for lighting
conditions for both the type of lighting (Tungsten, Fluorescent and
Fluorescent H) and intensity (Low, Medium or High), the ambient
light function is ideal for users displaying content and cannot
control the lighting conditions. This is useful for educators
speaking in classrooms or photographers showing their work in an art
museum/gallery or at a seminar.
Keystone Correction
A considerable range of adjustment is possible in the Keystone
Correction settings. They range in the vertical from ±20 degrees for
the Standard/ Telephoto lenses to ±13 degrees for the Wide-Angle
lens. Horizontally, -11 to +20 degrees are available for the
Standard lens and ±20 degrees for Telephoto/ Wide-Angle lenses.
Noise Reduction
In addition, users can utilize a new Noise Reduction feature that
allows the reduction of image noise to Off, Weak, Middle or Strong.

Volunteer in Todos Santos – Save Endangered Sea Turtles
June 21, 2009 by jim.pickell
Filed under Activities
Proyecto Todos Tortuguero has been operating since 2005 with a goal to protect the endangered sea turtles nesting on the shores of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The project participants conduct nightly egg rescue patrols during which it is possible to encounter adult leatherback turtles that can reach 10 feet in length and weigh up to 2,000 pounds. The group manages a hatchery (invernedero) where turtle eggs are buried a meter under the ground and the hatchlings will emerge approximately 70 days later. This is necessary to protect the eggs from poachers and low temperatures. The group also educates school children on environmental conservation. Volunteers are needed to run nightly patrols on ATV's, help identify nesting females and monitor temperatures in the invernadero October-April. Once nests begin hatching, further supervision of the invernadero is needed from mid-December until May. The project is currently recruiting volunteers for the 2009-2010 nesting season http://www.todostortugueros.org/.

This Is Snow Old!
Tired of this weather?
Want to swing into spring?
We've got news for you...
This forecast will sting.
So an ode to Maine winter.
We've not long to go
Though when spring arrives
We'll have mountains of snow.
Some people dig it
Others snow blow
Some drive too fast
Please, listen! Go slow!
It drives some people crazy
Some others scrape by
As flakes make skies hazy,
Bring kids' spirits high.
Now you may be pining
For days with sun shining
But winter will go
And so will the snow.
So here's to "fowl" weather
The cold winter's breeze
Can I come in now?
It's up to my knees!

Given the fact that im a big fan of Kurt Schwitters or Raumlabor it was impossible for me not to like this big size installation by Revok and Jim Darling.
via revok1
I first met JIM DARLING a few years ago in Miami when we were showing together in a group show. Jim is a super nice guy and his work blew me away and we stayed in contact every since. Jim recently visited me here in Detroit and we finally got to collaborate on something together. After cruising around for a bit we found this massive dead church and spent two days creating this really large installation inside using only materials already inside the church. It was fucking exhausting labor but well worth it since we had such a blast doing it.
We ended up carrying a massive organ up two flights of stairs, a piano, a TV, and a ton of other random shit to erect this gigantic monument.

In 2005, Flora Major was at a crossroads. Her husband Andrew had passed away and the time seemed right to explore new horizons and meet new people. "I needed a fundamental change in my life. I wanted to find a place where people are genuine and down to earth," she explains. While visiting a friend in Sarasota, she felt she had discovered just such a place. Flora spent a rainy day looking at apartments and found the perfect new home. "I made an offer that day and have never regretted it," she says.
A vibrant, friendly, and exuberant person, Flora set out to become involved in her new community and sought out organizations worthy of support. She and her husband had always been socially active in North Carolina and in New York City where they had worked and lived. They had also been philanthropic and had assisted organizations that they felt contributed to their community. Arts organizations were a special passion. Both art lovers and collectors, they traveled extensively and frequented museums around the world. "The arts always need support," says Flora. "They need all the help they can get."
Flora's interest in modern and contemporary art and her past service on the boards of the North Carolina Museum of Art and Duke University Museum of Art led Flora's neighbor, Dottie Baer Garner, to suggest that Flora look at becoming involved with Ringling College of Art and Design and the College's new Sarasota Museum of Art/SMOA. As a result, she met with Ringling College's president, Dr. Larry R. Thompson, and Wendy Surkis, the president of the SMOA board. She immediately became enamored!
The concept—to repurpose the historic Sarasota High School building into an art museum and visual arts education center—appealed to Flora immediately. "It's wonderful to preserve the building. I love combining the old and the new," she explains. She's excited about what SMOA and the Ringling College Visual Arts Education Center will bring to Sarasota, including world-acclaimed artists, thought-provoking art and educational opportunities. And she loves the people involved. "I have never seen anyone work as hard to rally the troops as Wendy Surkis," says Flora.
Flora joined the SMOA board and was among the first to make a significant donation. She hopes her contribution will "make a little bit of a difference," and is happy to see so many others join her in supporting the effort.
"Art is part of Sarasota's heritage as a cultural center," says Flora. "Having a modern and contemporary art museum and education center in our community will honor that heritage and be a great benefit for the community."
She adds, "SMOA is going to be fantastic!"

CHAUMONT Designs for the second phase of Lyme Central Schools capital project are 50 percent complete.
Michael J. Harris, an architect at Bernier, Carr & Associates, said the plans call for installation of an air conditioning unit for the library, an upgraded entryway near the schools parking lot, an umbrella Wi-Fi system and upgrades to various doors inside the building.
Were about 50 percent done with the design before its ready to be sent to the state Education Department, Mr. Harris said.
He said the plans should be ready to send out by January. If they are approved by May, construction could begin as early as August.
Its a really simple project, and the sooner we get the plans back, the sooner we can get it out to bid, Mr. Harris said. The sooner we have a bid, the sooner we can plan to start the work.
He said the easiest upgrade to implement is the Wi-Fi system, followed by the entryway.
Superintendent Karen M. Donahue said the project will be funded with money left over from the project residents approved in 2012 to replace the rotting roof.
Mr. Harris said he is confident that even with a $200,000 budget, he can get all of the projects completed.
The district voters are trusting us to be as frugal as possible to provide upgrades. ... That will save us money in the long run, Mrs. Donahue said.
The canopy, which will be built at the side entrance of the school near the parking lot, will wrap around the corner of the building and shield the doors from the wind. The slanted roof will allow runoff to flow down a pipe through a pillar and empty into the schools drainage system.
Water wont be running off and spraying people. It will protect them from the elements when they are coming into the school and will be a better experience for people coming to our school, Mrs. Donahue said.
School board member Deanna Lothrop said the new canopy will give the school a real entrance.
Implementing a Wi-Fi system would improve the Internet access throughout the building.
Right now we use a series of routers throughout the building, Mrs. Donahue said. So to get connected, you need the passwords to all of the routers, and I need to be connected everywhere when doing teacher evaluations.
Students will use the Wi-Fi with school laptops, iPads and other learning tools.
If there is extra money once the projects are completed, additional projects, such as adding lights to the student parking lot and security cameras to the district office, could be considered.

And now onto the GF Challenge with our lovely lady, Shannon:
How does the saying go? "The journey of a million miles begins with a single step." Or maybe it's a thousand miles. Either way, it's a lot of miles, and sometimes miles can seem waaaaaaaaay longer than they really are. And sometimes, those single steps are the scariest and hardest steps to take.
So my journey thus far has been eye opening, if nothing else. The simple diagnosis of Celiac was my first step, and I was taking it, no matter how hard it was. There were bumps in the road, difficult times eating out, thinking of foods I was able to eat, and eliminating ones that I couldn't. But never, ever, did I stop putting one foot in front of the other.
Part of the journey was to lose weight alongside being healthier. Last Friday, when I got on the scale for my weekly weigh in, I was down 20 pounds in total! 20! It was one of the most exciting and proudest moments I've ever experienced. 20 was my goal, and for the first time in my life, I set a weight loss goal and not only stuck to it, I accomplished it. When I started to lose the weight, I noticed that my clothes (that hadn't fit before) were getting more comfortable and I was able to wear work pants that buttoned! Don't get me wrong. I love the wide-waisted pique knit pants, but when I was heavier, that was all that would fit and they didn't look flattering. My shirts were too tight, and I refused to admit and succumb to buying a larger size. No way I needed a size large. I'm only 4'11"! I now have medium shirts that are too big. And those super comfy knit pants? They're literally falling off. I have so many pants that don't fit that I had to buy more.
So that's what I did tonight. My favorite store was having their "buy one, get one free" pants sale, so I figured, why not. Because of the cut, I had to get some of the pants in a 10, only one size down from where I was, but I'm pretty sure that I was more a 14 and I just stretched the HELL out of my size 12s. And I even bought some size 8 pants!!! Oh yeah, single digit pants! I did the thing in the dressing room. You know what I'm talking about. Ladies, we've all done it at least once. I reserved that thing for only the skinny girls, the girls who, no matter what they put on, look adorable. And damn it, I did the thing tonight. Yup, right there in the dressing room, in each and every pair of pants! I put them on, spun around, checked out all the angles, and then I proceeded to do the thing...the "holy crap, don't I look freaking adorable in these clothes" dance! I couldn't do it for the longest time because no matter what I bought, I felt like it looked beyond horrible. Not only did I buy pants, I bought them in a fun pattern, in a bright red and melon, and in tapered skinny ankle cuts. Pretty much everything I've been avoiding for years. And I stood in the dressing room, hair a mess (thank you, crappy, rainy Jersey day), no make-up on, and just plain tired from the day, and I thought, "Holy shit girl, those look super cute on you." I didn't feel frumpy or dumpy or huge and hideous. I may have even seen the girl that my husband met and fell in love with (I was actually five pounds heavier when we met than I am now).
Now the journey stays the same, but the results will change. I'm content with being a size 8/10. The scale doesn't need to define me, nor do my pants size. How I feel defines me. I've been slacking on the gym. I must get back into my routine before summer ends and school starts back up. I must schedule my workouts as if they were appointments with doctors. I must continue to practice yoga and learn to clear my mind, especially when school starts up. I must learn to let go of the negative, unless it's something that truly affects me personally. I need to keep working on me, because I am truly a work in progress, and if I ever feel that I'm "perfect" and can't push my journey in another direction, then I guess it must be my time to meet my maker. I don't want perfection. I want to be the best damned me I can be. And for that, the journey will never end and those miles will become infinitesimal. But I have proven that I can make it, every single step.

How large is the clock? Also, is the engraved plaque on the front or the back of the piece? Many "higher" end clock and gift manufacturers made models that could be adapted for employee awards and prizes. It is very possible that this clock was a prize for a key salesperson or business exec at the beer company. Perhaps it was given, or meant to be given, at an annual sales or awards dinner. If the plaque has additional engraving, that may shed some light on the purpose of the award. Or, if it otherwise blank, it could be an "extra" in an order (like they were awarding 11 people prizes, but had to buy a dozen clocks to meet some minimal order.) Bulova is a relatively prestigious brand and would make a a nice prize indeed.

Thank you very much for your knowledge. The engraved "Michelob" is on the top of the clock. It is 6.5 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches in thickness. I am curious what this clock could sell for as it works well and is a pretty cool item.
