New Source Review (NSR) Permitting
Fact Sheet -- New Source Review Program: Aggregation, Debottlenecking, and Project Netting - Final Rule
On January 12, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing a final rule that modifies the New Source Review Programs policy on the term aggregation. Aggregation groups together multiple, related physical or operational changes into a single project for evaluating requirements under EPAs New Source Review (NSR) program. EPA proposed this action as one part of a September 2006 Federal Register proposal for three aspects of the NSR programaggregation, debottlenecking and project netting.
- The purpose of the proposed rule was to clarify and improve for sources and permitting authorities which emissions increases and decreases should be counted in determining major NSR applicability for modified sources.
- This notice retains the existing rules and explains that source owners and permitting authorities should combine emissions when changes are substantially related either from an economic or technical standpoint. Furthermore, this final rule specifies that:
- a source can not group changes based on timing alone,
- to be aggregated, changes are required to have more in common than just supporting the plant's overall basic function, and
- sources and permitting authorities can presume that plant modifications that are separated by three or more years are not substantially related, unless they can prove otherwise.
- With respect to the other two components of the originally proposed rule, EPA is withdrawing the proposed rule options for "debottlenecking" and is taking no action on the proposed rule for "project netting."
- This final action will become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
- Congress established the NSR program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments and modified it in the 1990 Amendments. NSR is a preconstruction permitting program that serves two important purposes.
- First, it ensures the maintenance of air quality standards when factories, industrial boilers and power plants are modified or added. In areas that do not meet the national air quality standards, NSR ensures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas that meet the standards, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR ensures that new emissions fall within protective air quality standards.
- Second, the NSR program ensures that state of the art control technology is installed at new plants or at existing plants that are undergoing a major modification.
- This final action will improve the implementation of the NSR program by clarifying a key area of confusion and by streamlining the decision for whether NSR applies to related projects. This improvement was included in the final set of recommendations from EPA's 2002 Report to the president on NSR. In that report, EPA, in consultation with other federal agencies, recommended a series of clarifications to the NSR program to improve investment in utility and refinery capacity.
- EPA does not expect this action to affect air quality because, while it is intended to clarify the process for making aggregation decisions, it will not significantly alter the outcome of these decisions compared to decisions that would have been made under the existing policy.
- Interested parties can download information on the final action from EPA's Web site at: www.epa.gov/nsr.
- Today's final action and other background information are also available either electronically in www.regulations.gov, EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, or in hard copy at EPA's Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0064). The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center is (202) 566-1742.

Viral Pneumonia
Viral Pneumonia Overview
Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation of the lungs. It can be in just one part of the lungs, or it can involve many parts. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. The severity of pneumonia depends on which organism is causing the infection and the immune response of the individual to that infection. Viral pneumonias are usually not very serious, but they can be life-threatening in very old and very young patients and in people whose immune systems are weak.
Two of the most publicized viral infections causing pneumonia are SARS and H1N1 swine flu. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which is caused by a virus in the coronavirus family, had a major outbreak in 2003 with an estimated 8,000 cases and 750 deaths. For the latest information on this illness, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site.
Swine flu (H1N1) was associated with an outbreak of pneumonia in 2009. Early reports came from cases in Mexico, with a very high mortality. Many cases were also reported in the U.S. However, early identification and treatment helped reduce the death rate significantly.

POTSDAM After suffering a budget shortfall this school year because of declining graduate enrollment, SUNY Potsdam officials are confident they will right the ship.
College President John F. Schwaller sounded an optimistic tone at Fridays College Council meeting.
On graduate students, were having our best spring in three years, he said. Right now our graduate applications are trending up.
In the fall, Mr. Schwaller told the council that graduate enrollment had dropped by 50 students, causing a $600,000 deficit. College Council members were concerned the decline could cost the school even more funding as the SUNY system implements a new budget model to allocate state funds among its campuses.
In just five months, the school appears to be reversing that trend, Mr. Schwaller said.
We have really amped up in areas of recruitment and organizing, he said.
Mr. Schwaller outlined some ways the university is improving its graduate recruitment efforts.
Were taking a multifaceted approach, he said, explaining that SUNY Potsdam is engaged in more aggressive marketing efforts and has increased its recruitment efforts in Canada and enhanced its masters degree offerings in Watertown.
In addition, the school has hired two full-time graduate admissions counselors
Newly hired Director of Graduate Studies Joshua J. LaFave, a Norwood native, said the reversal is as much about improving student experiences as it is getting them on campus.
Enrollment management in general is from beginning to end, he said. By improving services for the student experience and keeping them engaged with alumni, you create a reciprocal life span.
That life span not only retains the graduate students already enrolled, but attracts legacy students, Mr. LaFave said.
Graduate students are working professionals, adult learners; their needs are different, he said. The office has to be able to support every student every step of the way.
Mr. LaFave, who graduated from SUNY Potsdam in 2003, said the most important component is improving communication among his office, the schools almost 300 graduate students and the rest of the campus, and preparing graduate students for their careers.
SUNY Potsdam also is attempting to expand its graduate degree offerings. It now offers 15 graduate programs, most related to education. The school is looking into business and community health programs.
We hope, within a year, to have some of these new programs online, Mr. Schwaller said.
Mr. LaFave said the school will expand to meet the needs of the surrounding community.
I have seen opportunities that we could seize by diversifying our offerings and designing programs that meet the needs of the industry they will serve, whether it is in community health or in business, he said. Folks are looking at which programs are needed to serve our area that match with the strength that SUNY Potsdam has a as a campus.
Provost Margaret E. Madden said officials at SUNY Central and the state Education Department will have to approve any additional graduate programs.
Depending on the type of program, it can be even more complicated, she said. It can take several years to get something through.

Learn More About African Wild Dogs
Lycaon pictus are members of the Canidae family, and the most endagered relative of the domestic dog in the wild. They are not to be confused with Hyenas, which are actually more closely related to mongooses and meerkats than dogs, and are in a completely different biological family, Feliformia, which also includes cats.
African Wild Dogs are lean, 35 – 80 lbs, and tall about 30 inches at the shoulder and 40 long with another foot of tail. They have a special coat, each unique to its owner, in a disruptive pattern that makes a group of dogs look much larger than they really are and confuses prey.
They have an unusual social structure in which males help raise the pack's cubs and there is very little aggression among pack members. If young dogs are present at a kill, adults will even allow them to eat first, unlike any ather pack arrangement, like lions or wolves.
They are among the most efficient hunters in the world, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the ecosystem's balance. They work together to bring down a wide range of prey, calling to each other (they sounds like birds) and directing each other's movement with their large ears.

Drake Upsets Men's Basketball, 74-69
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Creighton overcame a 44-28 halftime deficit to take a second-half lead, but it wasn't enough as Drake held on for a 74-69 win at Drake Knapp Center on Wednesday evening.
Drake improved to 9-10 (3-5 MVC) with the victory, while #17/12 Creighton lost its second straight and dropped to 17-3 (6-2 MVC).
The Bulldogs were led by Richard Carter, who tied a career-high with 20 points.
Drake got a Jordan Clarke basket on its first possession before Creighton unleashed a flurry of points. The Jays would score on six of its next eight trips, including four baskets by Doug McDermott, and take a 12-5 lead before Drake called timeout. The timeout paid dividends, as the Bulldogs answered with a 7-0 run to knot the score at 12-all on a Ben Simons jumper from the top of the key.
The Bulldog crowd erupted when DU took a 25-20 lead after consecutive three-pointers from the left corner by Carter. The Bulldogs closed the first half on a 12-0 run to go ahead 44-28 at the break, including three-pointers by Jeremy Jeffers and Chris Hines.
McDermott led Creighton with 17 points at the break, while Grant Gibbs had four steals. The Jays were outscored 24-5 in the seven minutes without Gibbs. Drake's first half was paced by 14 points from Carter, while Daddy Ugbede had a career-best eight points in nine first half minutes. DU outrebounded CU 22-13 in the half and owned a 25-2 edge in bench points.
Creighton came out with renewed vigor and intensity to start the second half. Scoreless in the first half, Gibbs had six points during a 10-3 run that prompted another DU timeout as the Jays chipped away its deficit to just nine points. Two scores from Will Artino and a three-pointer by Gibbs trimmed the deficit to two (53-51) with 11:48 to go.
The Jays got within one point before consecutive treys by Jeremy Jeffers, but CU's Ethan Wragge's answered with a corner trey and Austin Chatman followed two minutes later with a three-pointer of his own to make it 61-60.
The Jays took their first lead since the early minutes when Artino fed McDermott for the All-American's first points of the second half at 62-61 with 7:11 left. But Drake tied it on a Micah Mason free throw and went back ahead on a Simons jumper from the left wing.
Down by three in the closing minutes, the Jays had a pair of chances to tie it but were off the mark on three-point attempts by Ethan Wragge and Jahenns Manigat. Carter's floater with 51.0 left rolled in to give Drake a five-point lead.
Gibbs put in a three-point play with 32.0 seconds left to make it a two-point game, and CU got a steal and called its final timeout with 25.3 left. Gibbs once again drove the lane, but this time his attempt rattled out. Drake's Carter was immediately fouled with 9.2 left.
He made 1-of-2 shots to make it a 3-point lead. Creighton never got an attempt up, as Simons came up with a steal and was hacked with 0.5 left. Students would storm the court, only to be sent back to their seats. Simons made his two foul shots, and the students returned to the court in jubilation.
McDermott finished with 19 points while Gibbs had all 18 of his points after intermission. Creighton shot 5-of-21 from three-point range and 45.0 percent from the floor.
Drake was paced by Carter's 20 points, while Jeffers (13) and Ugbede (12) also had double-figure nights off the bench. Drake shot 44.4 percent for the game.
Creighton returns to the court on Sunday for a 7 pm game at Southern Illinois.
NOTES: Tonight was the 605th straight game that Creighton has played at least one Iowa native, a streak that dates to February of 1994 ...Creighton has started 17-3 or better through 20 games for the fourth time in the last 11 seasons ...Doug McDermott's MVC-leading streak of 17 straight games with a three-pointer was snapped, as he went 0-for-6 from deep ...Doug McDermott moved from ninth to eighth in CU history and now owns 710 career rebounds ....Gregory Echenique moved into a tie for 14th in MVC history for career blocked shots with Bradley's Patrick O'Bryant (147) with two swats ...None of Creighton's past 10 trips to Des Moines have been decided by more than 11 points ...Drake outscored Creighton's bench, 43-14.

The History of Love: A Novelby Nicole Krauss
Staff Pick
In this brilliant work on love and loss, two stories, past and present, merge. With compassion and humor, Nicole Krauss writes a beautiful and incredibly imaginative novel, delivering readers through twists and turns to arrive at a wholly satisfying conclusion. Few more endearing characters can be found in literature today.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A long-lost book reappears, mysteriously connecting an old man searching for his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed mother's loneliness.
Leo Gursky is just about surviving, tapping his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbor know he's still alive. But life wasn't always like this: sixty years ago, in the Polish village where he was born, Leo fell in love and wrote a book. And though Leo doesn't know it, that book survived, inspiring fabulous circumstances, even love. Fourteen-year-old Alma was named after a character in that very book. And although she has her hands full — keeping track of her brother, Bird (who thinks he might be the Messiah), and taking copious notes on How to Survive in the Wild — she undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family.
With consummate, spellbinding skill, Nicole Krauss gradually draws together their stories. This extraordinary book was inspired by the author's four grandparents and by a pantheon of authors whose work is haunted by loss — Bruno Schulz, Franz Kafka, Isaac Babel, and more. It is truly a history of love: a tale brimming with laughter, irony, passion, and soaring imaginative power.
"The last words of this haunting novel resonate like a pealing bell. 'He fell in love. It was his life.' This is the unofficial obituary of octogenarian Leo Gursky, a character whose mordant wit, gallows humor and searching heart create an unforgettable portrait. Born in Poland and a WWII refugee in New York, Leo has become invisible to the world. When he leaves his tiny apartment, he deliberately draws attention to himself to be sure he exists. What's really missing in his life is the woman he has always loved, the son who doesn't know that Leo is his father, and his lost novel, called The History of Love, which, unbeknownst to Leo, was published years ago in Chile under a different man's name. Another family in New York has also been truncated by loss. Teenager Alma Singer, who was named after the heroine of The History of Love, is trying to ease the loneliness of her widowed mother, Charlotte. When a stranger asks Charlotte to translate The History of Love from Spanish for an exorbitant sum, the mysteries deepen. Krauss (Man Walks into a Room) ties these and other plot strands together with surprising twists and turns, chronicling the survival of the human spirit against all odds. Writing with tenderness about eccentric characters, she uses earthy humor to mask pain and to question the universe. Her distinctive voice is both plangent and wry, and her imagination encompasses many worlds." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] brilliant novel....A most unusual and original piece of fiction — and not to be missed." Kirkus Reviews
"[I]ngenious and coherent....Krauss has created a crazy spiderweb of associations and missed connections. Miraculously, she actually manages to make all the delicate filaments not only hold together but support the weight of the enormously ambitious narrative. (Grade: A-)" Entertainment Weekly
"While there are times when Ms. Krauss's gamesmanship risks overpowering her larger purpose, her book's resolution pulls everything that precedes it into sharp focus. It has been headed for this moment of truth all along." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Even in moments of startling peculiarity, [Krauss] touches the most common elements of the heart....In the final pages, the fractured stories of The History of Love fall together like a desperate embrace." Washington Post
"An achievement of extraordinary depth and beauty. What might have been a dirge has been transformed into a triumphant anthem." Newsweek
"[The novel] zips through such webs of mystification that reading it alternates between astonished pleasure and a decoding so laborious as to make you suspect that the message, plain, is less remarkable than the devices used to obscure it." Los Angeles Times
"Venturing into Paul Auster territory in her graceful inquiry into the interplay between life and literature, Krauss is winsome, funny, and affecting." Booklist
"Krauss' novel abounds with myriad literary documents — journal entries, letters, lists, translations, excerpts from an autobiography — penned by her characters, and done so in cleverly distinctive styles that spark each personality to life." San Francisco Chronicle
"Only 30 years old, Krauss is a writer of astonishing breadth. Her first novel...was well-received. This book, too, is headed for accolades. With luck, Krauss has many decades ahead of sculpting deliciously witty, complicated novels." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"[O]ne fine work....As in the best novels, many questions are raised and no easy answers provided. The characters are compelling and true, and the reader will come through the book not just caring about but wanting to heal them." Denver Post
With consummate, spellbinding skill, Nicole Krauss gradually draws together the stories of Leo Gursky and 14-year-old Alma. This extraordinary book was inspired by the author's four grandparents and by a pantheon of authors whose work is haunted by loss — Bruno Schulz, Franz Kafka, Isaac Babel, and more. It is truly a history of love: a tale brimming with laughter, irony, passion, and soaring imaginative power.
At least as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.Brilliant. An achievement of extraordinary depth and beauty.The novel's achievement is precisely, and not negligibly, this: to have made a new fiction—alternately delightful and hilarious and deeply affecting.Moving and virtuosic.Luminous prose. . . . Krauss is a masterful storyteller . . . a writer of astonishing breadth.Ingenious.A significant novel, genuinely one of the year's best. Emotionally wrenching yet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible characters and true suspense.

The illuminating national bestseller: "Vertiginously exciting...vibrantly imagined....[Krauss is] a prodigious talent."--Janet Maslin, New York Times
A profoundly moving, deliciously suspenseful novel about an American grandfather and a newly orphaned boy racing across the Norwegian wilderness, fleeing demons both real and imagined.
ONE OF THE MOST LOVED NOVELS OF THE DECADE. A long-lost book reappears, mysteriously connecting an old man searching for his son and a girl seeking a cure for her widowed mother's loneliness.
A lost book reappears, drawing together the lives of the irrepressible Leo Gursky who has arrived at the end of his life, a locksmith searching for the son who's never known him, and young Alma Singer, desperate to find her namesake and a cure for her mother's loneliness. Gradually their stories merge into a single triumph of the imagination over loss.
Crime Writers Association John Creasey Dagger Award winner
An ECONOMIST TOP FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR
A luminous novel, a police thriller, and the funniest book about war crimes and dementia you are likely to read
Sheldon Horowitz—widowed, impatient, impertinent—has grudgingly agreed to leave New York and move in with his granddaughter, Rhea, and her new husband, Lars, in Norway: a country of blue and ice with one thousand Jews, not one of them a former Marine sniper in the Korean War turned watch repairman, who failed his only son by sending him to Vietnam to die. Not until now, anyway.
Home alone one morning, Sheldon witnesses a dispute between the woman who lives upstairs and an aggressive stranger. When events turn dire, Sheldon seizes and shields the neighbors young son from the violence, and they flee the scene. But old age and circumstances are altering Sheldons experience of time and memory. He is haunted by dreams of his son Sauls life and by guilt over his death. As Sheldon and the boy look for a haven in an alien world, reality and fantasy, past and present, weave together, forcing them ever forward to a wrenching moment of truth.
Norwegian by Night introduces an ensemble of unforgettable characters—Sheldon and the boy, Rhea and Lars, a Balkan war criminal named Enver, and Sigrid and Petter, the brilliantly dry-witted investigating officers—as they chase one another, and their own demons, through the wilderness at the end of the world.

Utah's number of nonfarm wage and salaried jobs for April grew by 4.5 percent over the past year. Employment growth has held steady at this level throughout 2007.
Utah's current growth remains well above the state's long-term average of 3.3 percent per year since 1950. Approximately 54,000 new jobs have been created in the Utah economy over the past year, raising total wage and salary employment in Utah to 1,247,800. This increase translates to around 4,500 new jobs created monthly in Utah over the past year.
Utah's other primary indicator of current labor market conditions, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, measures 2.5 percent for April, down 0.6 percentage points from the unemployment rate of 3.1 percent registered a year ago in April, 2006. Approximately 33,700 Utahns were unemployed in April 2007 as compared to 40,000 in April 2006. The United States' unemployment rate registered 4.5 percent in April.
"Utah is riding a sustained period of employment growth," said Mark Knold, chief economist for the Department of Workforce Services. "It began in late 2003 and is rolling on into its fourth year. During that time we became one of the better performing state economies in the nation, but generally trailed Nevada and Arizona for top billing. But from what I can ascertain now looking at recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data measuring all the states, we are now the best-performing state economy in the nation. Nevada and Arizona have slowed just enough to allow Utah to move ahead. Our neighbors are still doing well, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada, but right now, we stand at the top."
Since April 2006, the United States' economy has added 1.9 million new jobs, a growth rate of 1.4 percent. The approximately 54,000 new jobs in Utah represent about 2.8 percent of all the new jobs added in the U.S. over the past year, this from a state that comprises less than one percent of all U.S.jobs.
There is current irony in the relationship between the Utah economy and the greater U.S. economy. Intuition would imply that Utah would benefit from a stronger U.S. economy, the thinking being that a rising sea lifts all ships. But currently Utah is actually in a better position from a weaker U.S. economy than if the country as a whole would find more solid footing and grow at a faster pace, employing more workers. With an unemployment rate as low as ours, Utah needs the excess labor that other parts of the U.S. provides. That excess labor pool would dry up if the countrys economy became stronger and workers from other parts of the country decided to stay put and find jobs where they are.
That very situation actually happened to Utah in the late 1990s. As the U.S. economy strengthened, Utah's weakened. The state lost our labor inflow, and Utah's then strong employment growth lost its fuel. As it stands now, pockets of weakness throughout the U.S. seem to be sufficient to supply Utah with the additional labor that it needs. This domestic inflow is especially beneficial to the higher-paying, knowledge-based jobs that Utah is producing and that an economy needs to enhance its earnings and wealth. International labor flows, though potentially controversial to mention, are providing Utah with a supply of lesser-skilled labor that might otherwise be an area of labor shortfall in a hyper-low unemployment environment like Utah's.
Employment growth remains strong in all sectors, with the exception of the information sector, which actually recorded a small employment loss over the past year. This is the first month in several years where we are actually seeing a year-over job loss in an industrial sector. But even that area's loss is tempered, as it is really more of an accounting loss than an actual job loss. For instance, America Online (AOL) in Ogden closed, but Teleperformance absorbed most of its workers. In reality, little if any jobs were lost in Utah because of this. Yet on paper, those jobs were lost in the information sector, only to be transferred to the professional and business services sector.
Still, with the information sector going negative with the loss of merely 400 jobs, it does unveil the overall weakness in that sector. It is dominated by the telecommunications industry, and that industry is still struggling to revive itself after the tech-bubble bust earlier in the decade.
Other than this anomaly, all other industries are growing and doing well in Utah. Construction continues as the strongest employment growth area, far outdistancing all other industries. With its three-years-and-counting strong growth pace, construction will once again be Utah's strongest employment-growth industry this year.
There is a subtle change underway in the fundamentals of the construction industry. Residential construction permit activity began to surge in early 2003, culminating in an historic high in mid-2006. Since then, that peak has passed, and permit authorizations, though still historically high, are noticeably trending downward. But nonresidential activity has stepped in to fill any void. A surge in nonresidential construction usually lags a surge in residential construction by roughly two years. First houses are constructed, then the churches and retail establishments follow. Utah nonresidential construction valuation began its surge in early 2005 and is still in the process of developing and climbing to its peak. This suggests that whatever construction layoffs that the residential building industry may incur because of fewer building permits will be easily absorbed and employed by the surging nonresidential industry. Residential construction is more labor intensive than nonresidential, but with all the commercial and industrial construction underway in Utah, the net effect is continued construction employment growth in Utah through this year and into next.

Hi All,
I would like to know how i could install more linux fonts to be used on gvim, have been trying it for a long time now but unsuccessfully.. Anyone help please
mine takes any system font i have installed...
I just select what i want from the pull down menu and any system font available is listed.
telnet mtrek.game-host.org 1701
oh yea - when i did install extra fonts i followed these steps:
True Type fonts:
* Open Firefox. Go to http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...a-fc5.html#ttf and download (save to disk) http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/fi...0-1.noarch.rpm. This should save the file to your home folder. If it saves the file to your desktop instead go to your desktop and drag the file into your "Home" folder. (Left mouse click on the file and drag it on top of your "Home" folder while holding the left mouse button down. Then release the mouse button.)
* Click on the terminal icon. This will open the terminal. Type:
Hit enter, type your root password and hit enter. (This gives you root privileges in the terminal even though you are still in the default user's home directory.)
* Type:
Hit enter. This will list the contents of your home directory so you can see if the file you just saved is there.
* Type:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
Hit enter. Wait for the installation to complete.
* Type:
rm *.rpm
Hit enter. Type "y" and hit enter. (This deletes the downloaded RPM file in your home directory, however the program is already installed into your system.) Close the terminal. Log out and log back in.

Here is an interview I did with Liam Ó Maonlaí for my site The Celtic Music Fan. I enjoyed this piece and of course along with the fact that I am a fan of The Hothouse Flowers.

Here is an interview I did with Liam Ó Maonlaí for my site The Celtic Music Fan. I enjoyed this piece and of course along with the fact that I am a fan of The Hothouse Flowers.

I will be publishing my interview with Meav soon so I will keep you all posted,.

Meav read this interview and this is what she said in her email:

I loved your recent interview with Liam O Maonlaoi! He attended Coláiste Eoin ( high school) with my brother and had a cult following in my school which was next door!

Liam Ó Maonlaí talks about his project Rian, working with Glen Hansard and beyond.

Born is the first album I listened to from Hothouse Flowers, a band fronted by my special guest Liam Ó Maonlaí. The part of me that loved(and still does) U2, The Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor and a whole bunch of Irish rock artists warmed up to this album. Born featured Wayne Sheehy on drums and Rob Malone on bass guitar. This album contained extensive songwriting contributions from O'Toole( who stepped out of his bass responsibilities to showcase his multi instrumental abilities). The album featured mostly guitar, bouzouki and keyboards on the recording. This is one of their complex records as the music also incorporated more elements of electronic loops, synthesizers and studio effects.

I believe that an artist grows with his listeners. Somewhere in the mid 200os Liam Ó Maonlaí supported traditional Irish music. His humanitarian efforts are notable and they continue to this time. He admitted in interviews that as a child, he was mostly influenced by traditional Irish music and Gaeilge was spoken as the main language. He even went as far as releasing a recording called Learn Irish with Liam O Maonlai.With Rian and other projects on the way, the bard joins us in this amazing interview!

Since Hothouse Flowers and then your project with ALT (and also acting on the side), what are the driving forces that keep you in shape and give you the drive to continue in this artistic journey?

With Hothouse Flowers

 Mostly I respond to what comes my way and within that I find inspiration. I spend a lot of time looking at the world, our history and our present. What worked ,what works and what might work. For some people on Earth, these are terrible times and I see us as one. Music always drives me.
I am one of those who got a copy of Learn Irish Project and it is an amazing work. Are you planning to launch another Irish Language course soon?

I would like to and I do intend to…. I need to make sure I get it right.

 You are amazing both in Sean Nos singing and also in lending your voice/talent to other projects. What are your other Irish based projects that we should hear about?

I have been involved with a project called Rian . It is a collaboration with Michael Keegan- Dolan and his company, Fabulous Beast dance theatre. Rian involves eight dancers and five musicians. The music is mostly traditional …the dances are newly created. It has been travelling the world to standing ovations. Next stop Singapore. Rian has been to Norwich, London, Dublin, Cork, New York , Sydney, Hong Kong ,Umea, Wiesbaden , Lyon and Paris. ..sell out shows mostly.

That sounds fantastic! You also do acting on the side. One of them is The Busker(2006). Do you find difficulty switching from your musical side to acting? Or is it as easy as counting 1 2 3.
 …My mother said to me once that what I do with the Hothouse Flowers is acting . I think in a way she is right.

 You are a great Bodhran player. What are the things we should know about playing this instrument that other probably don't know about yet.

Not to forget that it is a drum and that the drum has a voice and that is powerful. The player mostly listen and feel the music that is being played . A steady beat is a great thing.

Your video Sadhbh Ni Bhruinneallaigh has been getting a lot of views on youtube. Do you have plans of making another epic performance like this soon in shows like Highland Sessions or Live Trad?

… I hope so. The Highland Sessions and the Trans Atlantic Sessions were great projects .

You worked on a project with Glen Hansard. How was the experience and care to share a bit about that one?

Yes…Glen is full of enthusiasm and energy. He and Marketa helped finance my last solo cd To Be Touched. They were there as a force of encouragement and a lot of fun as well. He is an eager worker… not afraid to sweat. He tuned in to my way of working in a great way.

You are currently on tour with the Rian project. How's it going?
 It is going really well. It is a great show with a great team. We love performing it and I believe that comes across. We have been to Paris, Hong Kong, New York, London, Dublin, Cork, Carlow, Longford, Sydney, Wiesbaden, St Polten, Lyon, and Norwich. I may have left out some as well..

You are composing a soundtrack for forthcoming John Carney film. Can you give us a heads up about this one?

That film has been made and I handed over the composition because he was looking for a different style. I would love to work with john and we are talking about possibilities now.

 What's your message to your fans?

Thank you for taking the time to hear my work. It gives me great healing and pleasure.

Last question:How can one deal with change both spiritually and artistically?

Well… Art is a great boat to take on the sea of change. Art is an observer and responds in an uncalculated way at its essence to all things. If you can be true to yourself with your art then your art will have meaning. Trying to be or work like someone else will only bring about second rate work.

Well said!

GRAND LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police charged Michael D. Slavin, 60,of 38 Bridges Ave., Massena, with fourth-degree grand larceny at 1:04 a.m. Wednesday. He reported stole a female friends purse, which contained her credit card. He was additionally charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon after police found a .22 calibre pellet gun and a .22 calibre rifle at his residence when they were investigating the domestic dispute complaint that culminated with the purse theft. Slavin, a convicted felon, is not allowed to possess weapons. He had sentenced to two to four years in state prison in December 2011 for a second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument conviction. The state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website says Slavin was last released from prison in October 2012.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT -MASSENA - Village police charged Richard Clookey, 46, of 44 Bishop Ave., Massena, with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at 1:12 a.m. Wednesday on Park Place. Police said an allegedly intoxicated Clookey entered Rays Place and was asked to leave for reportedly starting problems with other customers. He then failed to comply with police when they responded to the bar and struggled when police attempted to take him into custody.
PETIT LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police charged Andrew R. Post, 35, of Massena with two counts of petit larceny Tuesday afternoon stemming from the unauthorized use of an acquaintances debit card on two occasions. He was released on an appearance ticket.
He allegedly withdrew $200 out of Rhonda R. Lundermans account without her permission on June 22 from a Seacomm account and another $142 from that same account at Rays Place on June 23.
According to court documents, Lunderman and Misty Timmons took a third woman Saturday to Burlington, Vt., where the unidentified womans husband was being treated at the Fletcher-Allen Medical Center.
Ms. Lunderman said when she reached Rouses Point she realized she had left her wallet at home. She said she was unsuccessful in locating friends or family to assist her, and Ms. Timmons had suggested Post would be willing to assist her. Misty called Andy, and he said he would be willing to help us out, she noted in her statement to police.
She said she told Post how to get into her residence, the location of her wallet and the code he would need to use to withdraw money from her account on her debit card. She said she asked Post to withdraw $240 from her account and wire it to her. She indicated that transaction was completed.
But she said when she returned home she discovered the balance in her account was over $300 lower than she anticipated and noticed the two unauthorized withdrawals.
Ms. Lunderman said Ms. Timmons called Post and confronted him about the missing money. Andy admitted taking money from me. He told her he would pay me back this week, Ms. Lunderman told police.
She said she also talked briefly with Post during that phone call. He told me that he was sorry and that he was wrong, she said.
UNNECESSARY NOISE - MASSENA - Village police ticketed Bryan Gravelin, 27, of 50 Beech St., Massena, for a violation of the villages noise ordinance at 11:08 a.m. Tuesday after responding to a neighbors complaint alleging the Massena mans music was to loud.

CSU Partners with PIQE to Involve Parents in Education
Contact: Clara Potes-Fellow, 562) 951-4800, firstname.lastname@example.com
(February 1, 2006)—The California State University and the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE), announced today a partnership to strengthen parent involvement in the education of elementary and middle school students to improve children's preparation for higher education.
"The CSU partnership with PIQE is significant since it adds to many other efforts to help improve the public school system," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "Improving the state's public K-12 schools is critical to the future of California and quality of the Cal State system, since we expect that many of those students ultimately enroll at a CSU campus."
CSU Chancellor Reed will provide $575,000 in funding for CSU campuses
to partner with local schools to bring the PIQE program to their areas.
PIQE will be responsible to raise the same amount in matching funds. The
mission of the project is to bring schools, parents, and community together
as equal partners in the education of targeted and under-served California
Dr. Vahac Mardirosian, PIQE founder said that the Parent Institute has its genesis in the Los Angeles student walkouts of 1968 and in more than thirty years of dedicated work by many individuals in the community committed to a quality education for all students.
"PIQE has developed and widely implemented a model for increasing parent involvement in K-12 where parent participation has been difficult to achieve. The barriers that discourage immigrant parents from participating in schools are not insurmountable," Mardirosian said.
David Valladolid, president and chief executive officer of PIQE, said that the offer of a CSU college ID card will enhance the success of PIQE's recruitment of parent and will send families the profound message that a spot awaits for their children in college if they study hard and meet the admission requirements. "PIQE will fully inform parents of these admission requirements," Valladolid said.
Since its inception in 1987, PIQE has graduated over 350,000 parents and guardians. It has developed and widely implemented a model for increasing parent involvement in K-12 where parent participation has been difficult to achieve.
The California State University is the largest system of senior higher education in the country, with 23 campuses, 405,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. Since the system was created in 1961, it has awarded about 2 million degrees, about 84,000 annually. The CSU is renowned for the quality of its teaching and for the job-ready graduates it produces. Its mission is to provide high-quality, affordable education to meet the ever-changing needs of the people of California. With its commitment to excellence, diversity and innovation, the CSU is the university system that is working for California. See www.calstate.edu
The Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) is a statewide research-based and comprehensive parent involvement program in California. PIQE offers a nine-week series of classes on parent involvement, a four-month "Coaches" follow-up program and a six-hour teacher workshop on parent involvement. Since its founding in 1987, PIQE has graduated more than 350,000 from its nine-week classes, 75,000 from the follow-up program and more than 750 teachers from the six-hour workshops. PIQE's goal is to graduate 1,000,000 parents by 2015 and this historic partnership with the CSU will expedite the program's expansion in California and beyond. See www.piqe.org
