CSU Faculty Leading the Way in Digital Innovation Get a Boost from Sony Electronics
November 20, 2012
The California State University and Sony Electronics, in partnership with Intel Corporation, presented the Sony Electronics Faculty Award for Innovative Instruction with Technology to four early career faculty members. The award consists of a VAIO laptop computer, tablet, camera, and accessories.
The award acknowledges innovative use of technology in delivering quality and affordable education to students and encourages continued achievements in teaching. Faculty from four CSU campuses are selected annually to receive the award. This year, the campuses are Long Beach, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino and Stanislaus.
- Eric Haas-Stapleton, CSU Long Beach assistant professor in Biological Sciences, is helping students design their self-motivating learning experiences with rich multimedia and a dynamic teaching approach.
- Kate Lockwood, CSU Monterey Bay assistant professor in Information Technology and Communications Design, is helping students develop more advanced skills by "flipping the classroom" — allowing students to familiarize themselves with subjects through technology followed by practical skills application in class.
- Mihaela Popescu, CSU San Bernardino assistant professor in Communication Studies, is helping students produce authentic, multimedia narratives for effective communications with digital media.
- S. Steve Arounsack, CSU Stanislaus assistant professor in Anthropology, Geography, and Ethnic Studies, is helping students explore local and global cultural connections, leveraging digital media and ethnography.
This is only the third year of awards, but Sony Electronics has already provided eight CSU faculty members with technology packages valued at $2,300 each. Additionally, 92 CSU students have received awards valued at $1,200 each.
The CSU Board of Trustees recognized this year's four outstanding faculty members and thanked Sony Electronics, Inc. for its generosity on Nov. 13.

Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure
Monumental is the story of America's beginnings. Presented, produced, and starring Kirk Cameron, the 90-minute true story follows this father of six across Europe and the U.S. as he seeks to discover America's true "national treasure" -- the people, places, and principles that made America the freest, most prosperous and generous nation the world has ever known. Long regarded as "the land of opportunity," there's no question the tiny band of religious outcasts who founded this country hit upon a formula for success that went way beyond what they could have imagined. How else can you explain the fact that they established a nation that has become the best example of civil, economic and religious liberty the world has ever known? What formula did they discover? What motivated them to come here in the first place? More importantly, how can we apply these same foundational truths today?

LEBANON, Tennessee (WSMV) --A sport-utility vehicle smashed into a jewelry store in Lebanon, Tennessee on Thursday morning, causing substantial damage.
The vehicle crashed into the front glass windows at The Jewelers.
The business is located in a Kroger shopping center. It's unclear what caused the driver to careen into the business.
The store owner said he thinks the driver had a medical emergency, causing the wreck.
The owner had left the business a few minutes before the wreck, otherwise he said he would have been in the path of the vehicle.
"I adopted a puppy today and I had just finished the paperwork in my office and was headed home," said store owner Shawn Smith. "It was literally just two minutes before. My puppy saved my life.

Friday Notes

Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
- Rumblings surrounding Maggette-to-Denver are surfacing again, this time for J.R. Smith, who torched the Clips last night. Baylor seems willing to stand pat unless he gets full value for Corey, which this proposal clearly doesn't offer. Why would the Clippers trade a freaky, athletic slasher who can get hot behind the arc but who's turnover-prone and can't rotate for shit for...uh...a freaky athlete who can slash, get hot from three but turns the ball over too much and is a cipher on defense?
- According to Ron Artest, Elton Brand is one of the three best rappers in the NBA. Listen to the Artest interview with AOL Sportsbloggers Live here. [Hat tip: Henry Abbott]
- Reports out of PHX are that Leandro Barbosa may be replacing Boris Diaw in the starting lineup, which would mean a Nash-Barbosa-
Diaw-Bell-Marion-Thomas starting five. It's interesting to think about how that would color Saturday night's matchup. It would certainly make life more difficult for Sam Cassell. I still insist that the best way to neutralize PHX's rabbits is to have a shot blocking presence in the paint. If the Suns go with Barbosa, it may be the night to start Corey alongside Q to provide a little more speed in the defensive transition. Though Corey can't rotate in the half-court, he's very effective in getting back in transition - particularly if he's hanging out on the perimeter on the offensive end.

You eyed Fluttershy's tight pussy and curvy flank, drooling with pleasure, face flushed with arousal. With your cock throbbing like no other, you immediately place your hands and grab Fluttershy's hind legs and without hesitation or care, you ram your raging boner into her nice, delicate vagina. She lets out a small welp as you started going in and out slowly, but picked up the pace and starting ramming her with all your strength. Her sweet, tender pussy lips felt so good on your hard dick that it made her insides feel all the more satisfying. You love every second of it. Her velvety inner walls felt like heaven and you let out a few small moans to signify the immense pleasure you were receiving off of the hotness that was Fluttershy. You then suddenly pulled out, your hard cock still excited after the nice thrashing it gave to the yellow pegasus. Flipping Fluttershy on her back and without hesitation or care, you plunged deep inside her again, Fluttershy's whelps and moans never ceasing. Your cock shoved into her hard, you felt your climax approaching as you braced for the real pleasure. After a few minutes of continuous ramming and pounding her velvety vagina, you finally let it all out as you ejaculated hot seed deep inside her, filling her up with each blast of semen you could let out, all with Fluttershy letting out a loving moan from the hot session just enacted.

This biography of Oliver Cromwell recalls the political and religious struggles of 17th century England. Cromwell (Richard Harris) is the Anglican religious fanatic who fights corruption and Catholicism with equal zeal, while King Charles (Alec Guinness) is the vacillating monarch who believes his crown gives him a direct pipeline to the wisdom of God. Also starring Robert Morley and Timothy Dalton, Cromwell won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design and was nominated for Best Original Score.~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

The Ostrich Chair products are unique, versatile and practical! The most popular of all, the 3N1 Beach Chair is what the compoany calls "Definitely not the beach chair you grew up with"! With original features such as patented face cavity with horseshoe cushion, arm slots, pillow and adjustable leg rests, these beach chairs and chaise loungers make a one-of-a-kind beach/poolside accessory! Many of the Ostrich Chair items are patented and quite unique to the industry. The most important priority is to ensure that the overall quality of products is consistent throughout…utilizing the finest materials and workmanship available in the industry. Dedicated to making the best beach chairs possible while maintaining a sensible, competitive pricing structure, Ostrich Chairs' products are a great soluction for everyone! The Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair was selected at this convention as 1 of only 5 products to be featured on "Fox News". "Good Morning America" also selected the Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair to be featured on their program the following month. Robin Roberts (host) called it "The PerfectBeach Chair". Sales of the 3N1 chairs were so brisk on the day it was featured that most retailers completely sold out. In May, 2006, the Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair made another appearance at the National Hardware / Lawn and Garden Convention in Las Vegas. The interest level was similar to the IHA Convention, with buyers still intrigued with the versatility and uniqueness of the chair. This show was very gratifying as there were many beach chair manufacturers, from all over the world, displaying their products. The consensus of the attendees was that the Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair was more than just a beach chair, and that the open and closable face cavity and arm slots separated it from the other chairs in the same price range. In late 2007, an economically priced Ostrich Folding Beach Chaise was added to the line which also utilizes the open / closeable face cushion and arm slots. For the 2008 season, we made significant improvements to our already popular Ostrich 3N1 model, including a comfortable pillow, doing away the Velcro, adding a 1 piece horseshoe cushion, adding 2.5" to the overall length…and adding 2 new colors (blue and pink). Additionally, we have added a line of European manufactured Sling Chaise Lounges for both the resort and pool / spa market individual pool owners. One of our models utilizes our patented face cushion and arm slots for ease of reading while on your stomach and / or just plain tanning.

Attendance and Notification of Absence
All university employees are expected to maintain a good record of attendance. However, absence from work is sometimes unavoidable. When you are delayed or absent from work, your manager or designee must be notified. Each department or work unit communicates its notification procedure, so check with your manager for procedures specific to your department. Failure to report an absence in accordance with your department's notification procedure may result in your being denied paid sick leave, being subject to disciplinary action, or both.
If you are appointed on a 100 percent annual full-time equivalency (FTE) contract, you earn 22 work days of paid vacation per year. If you are appointed to work less than 100 percent annual FTE, but more than 50 percent annual FTE, you earn pro-rated vacation time. Vacation time is accrued at a rate of 14.67 hours or 1.83 days per calendar month, based on 100 percent FTE. Full-time employees who have more than 24 years of Ohio public service credit accrue vacation at a rate of 16.67 hours per calendar month. Unclassified staff who are appointed to less than full-time positions earn pro-rated vacation time.
Prior Ohio public service is credited toward longevity for vacation accrual.
The use of vacation leave requires the prior approval of your manager, except in the case of family and medical leaves. You must have your vacation approved by submitting a completed Sick Leave/Vacation Request Form to your manager, showing the number of vacation hours requested. Vacation time requested cannot exceed current earned vacation time balances.
On August 31 of each year, vacation balances are reviewed by the university. Any excess of the maximum amount you may earn in two years (44 days or 352 hours for a full-time employee) is deleted at that time.
Designated holidays will not be charged to vacation leave.
You will be paid for earned, but unused, vacation leave upon separation from the university or upon retirement up to a maximum of 352 hours. The maximum cash payment for those terminating employees who worked less than 100 percent FTE is determined on a prorated basis and cannot exceed that amount of vacation time that could have been earned in a two-year period.
Vacation payment upon separation from the university does not apply if you are an employee on a special contract.
Human Resources issues a University Holiday Schedule each year, summarizing holiday observances. You are granted 10 holidays per year. They currently are:
|Name of Holiday
|Date of Holiday
|New Year's Day
|January 1
|Martin Luther King Day*
|January (third Monday)
|Presidents' Day*
|February (third Monday)
|Memorial Day
|May (last Monday)
|Independence Day
|July 4
|Labor Day
|September (first Monday)
|Columbus Day*
|October (second Monday)
|Veterans' Day
|November 11
|Thanksgiving Day
|November (fourth Thursday)
|Christmas Day
|December 25
*State law allows the university to move the observance of three holidays--Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day, and Columbus Day--to dates other than the actual holiday. Changes are noted in the annual University Holiday Schedule.
Holidays that fall on a Saturday are observed the preceding Friday. Holidays that fall on a Sunday are observed the following Monday.
You are not eligible for holiday pay when:
- you have an unexcused, unpaid absence on the day before the holiday(s).
- you are on a leave of absence without pay or on a layoff, or you are receiving Workers' Compensation total disability benefits.
Sick Leave
Paid sick leave is earned and accrued by all unclassified employees. The rate of accrual for full-time unclassified staff is 10 hours, or 1.25 days, per calendar month when you are in active status. Part-time unclassified employees accrue sick leave on a pro-rated basis.
Sick leave with pay may be requested only for leave already earned. Your manager has the right to approve or not approve sick leave. The university may require you to provide a physician's certificate after three consecutive days of absence, or when a physician has seen you, or in cases of patterned or excessive use. The physician's certificate should include the reason why you are or were unable to work.
You may transfer accrued sick leave from one state agency to another, provided the time between separation and reappointment does not exceed 10 years.
You can use approved, accrued sick leave for absences due to:
- a personal illness/injury or the illness/injury of a member of your immediate family who requires your care
- pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions
- a personal medical, dental, vision, or psychological examination or the examination of a member of your immediate family who requires your care
- treatment and exposure to contagious disease
- serious illness or death in your immediate family
Your immediate family is defined as including your spouse, parents, children, grandparents, siblings, grandchildren, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, legal guardian or other person who stands in place of a parent, and a registered domestic partner.
With 10 years of state service and upon retirement or death, you or your estate will receive a cash settlement equivalent to one-fourth of the value of accrued but unused sick leave, up to a maximum of 240 hours. Payment is based upon your rate of compensation at the time of retirement or death. This payment eliminates all of your sick leave credit. If you retire, a cash payment will be made to you one time only. If you return to state service after a cash payment has been made, you can accrue and use sick leave as before, but cannot receive a cash settlement for the unused sick leave at the time of a second retirement.

A reflection for World Food Day
October 16 is World Food Day, a worldwide event designed to increase awareness, understanding and informed, year-round action to alleviate hunger.
As we remember the over one billion men, women and children who do not get enough to eat each day, we would like to share this reflection from author Julia Alvarez. Alvarez generously agreed to be the honorary chair of this year's Addison County CROP Hunger Walk, in Middlebury, Vermont. In her remarks that day, she concluded with the following story--a story that could change the world, if we would but listen and respond. Said Alvarez:
I want to finish by telling you the story I tell myself from time to time, a story that reminds me of how generosity of spirit can transform the kind of world we live in.
Some followers go to their rabbi.
"Rabbi," they ask, "what is heaven like?"
"In heaven," answers the rabbi, "they sit at a table with all sorts of delicacies and good things. The only problem is their arms do not bend."
"And what is hell like?"
"In hell they sit at a table with all sorts of delicacies and good things. The only problem is their arms do not bend."
"Then, Rabbi, what is the difference between heaven and hell?"
"Ah, my children," said the rabbi, "in Heaven they feed each other."
This story reminds me of why we are walking today. Participating in creating a different kind of world, a world where we feed each other... We save ourselves by saving each one another. We are walking because they walk.

Tuesday the voters of Carbon County spoke and in turn they elected some incumbents and some new people to mayoral and council seats in towns around the area.
While Price Mayor Joe Piccolo was unopposed (he received 391 votes, while 27 people placed write in candidates on the ballot) some other towns had heated elections for the top man in their governmental operations.
In East Carbon incumbent Orlando LaFontaine won with over 55 percent of the vote, 227-174 over councilman Andy Urbanik. Eight people registered write-in votes for that office.
In Wellington Ben Blackburn got over 70 percent of the vote as he defeated Ed Chavez 219 to 88. Blackburn will replace present Mayor Karl Houskeeper, who did not run for office again.
Helper, where Mayor Mike Dalpiaz, who has served in two different decades in that job decided not to run again, Dean Armstrong came in the winner with over 65 percent of the vote over long time councilman Kirk Mascaro 348-178.
In Sunnyside, Doug Parson won the race for mayor 55-25 over Tracy Lee Stratton. Present and long term Mayor Bruce Andrews did not run again.
In contested city council races Wellington, Helper and East Carbon all have some new and old faces that will be meeting at their respective cities meetings.
In Wellington, Kirt Tatton (165 votes) and Amber Adair (162 votes) defeated Rory Bradley (153 votes) and Ray Reddington (110 votes) for the two council seats open there.
In Helper the four year council race was won by Chris Pugliese (347 votes) and Gary Harwood (314 votes). Eliminated from the race was Orlando Ochoa who got 297 votes. In the two year race, Brandon Wise (363 votes) and Robert Bradley (337 votes) beat out Donald Mortensen (218 votes) for those two openings.
East Carbon elected Darrell Valdez (253 votes) and Cheryl McFarland (205 votes) for the four years council seats. The defeated candidates included incumbent Darlene Ann Kuhns (190 votes) and challenger David Fryer (140 votes). In the one year race James Wayman (229 votes) defeated Gabriel K. Hunt (164) for the two year seat.
Unopposed candidates in various towns included councilwomen Kathy Hanna Smith (402 votes) and Jeanne McEvoy (396 votes) in Price, Michael Erkkila, Scofield mayor (10 votes) and Nola Porter (72 votes) for Sunnyside City council.
In the only race non-incorporated county residents could vote in, Keith Cox (243 votes) defeated Tom Matthews (109 votes) for the open seat on the Price River Water Improvement District board.
The overall turnout for the election was very light according to Alexis Horsley, the Carbon County deputy clerk.

BUFFALO, NY - The family attorney for Richard Metcalf, Jr. is responding with photos to the county sheriff who says deputies were not at fault for Metcalf's death in December of last year.
Metcalf, 35, died of a heart attack after being in the Erie County Holding Center. A medical examiner made the determination at the time, but experts still needed more information to classify his death.
This decision has now been made and it's been ruled a homicide.
Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard says that Metcalf brought on his own death through erratic behavior. Thomas Casey, the attorney and spokesperson for the Metcalf family has a different take.
"I believe his death was brought about because of the actions of the deputies that were responding to that cell that evening," said Casey.
The night began in Depew, with police there arresting the Casey on burglary charges. Officers say they couldn't get Metcalf under control, so they had to tase him. He was taken to ECMC for an evaluation and then went back to Depew, then to the County Holding Center.
Casey has released a new photo to 2 On Your Side that he says was taken of Metcalf when he was booked at the holding center. Metcalf appears to have some bruises, but no major injuries to his face.
But, after many hours in the holding cell, sheriff deputies say that Metcalf snapped and began spewing blood all over it while using a fork to cut himself.
Howard tells 2 On Your Side that officers couldn't allow Metcalf to hurt himself and that they had to subdue him, which resulted in a struggle between Metcalf and at least nine guards.
"The inmate was engaging in self-destructive behavior. Our staff responded to prevent that," said Howard on Tuesday.
But the Metcalf's disagree and think that the deputies beat him so badly that he ended up with a black eye, multiple facial injuries and bruises all over his body. Casey says Metcalf had three broken ribs and that an autopsy shows all the other injuries.
Casey tells 2 On Your Side that the family is devastated and want the truth to come out in their son's homicide case.
"This is how they remember their son," said Casey while holding up a gruesome photo of Metcalf, "this is what they have to live with everyday, the mom and the dad, they have been overwhelmed with emotion."
After the struggle, Metcalf was taken to Buffalo General and quickly transferred to ECMC, where he died.
In addition to injuring Metcalf, the family and their attorney suspect deputies didn't follow the right protocol during the struggle in the cell.
The sheriff told 2 On Your Side's Claudine Ewing Tuesday that nothing was done wrong by his staff.
Erie County's DA, Frank Sedita is re-examining the case and State Police are investigating whether charges should be brought.
The family still has a civil case against all the agencies involved, which include ECMC, Erie County and Depew Police.

BFA St. Albans 4, No. Country 3 OT
Brandon Streeter's second goal of the night sealed the Falcons fate as BFA came from behind to win their third straight overtime contest at the Collins-Perley Sports Complex against North Country.
"BFA has a lot of depth and they are a tough team to beat, especially in their own barn," said head coach Andrew Roy.
After weathering a barrage of shots in the first five minutes, things settled down for the Falcons, and after one, the boys were up 2-1 on goals by Logan Fortier and Kody Halikas.
Said Roy on the early going, "Chris (Bronson) really kept us in there. They had a lot of traffic in front of him, so he had a tough time seeing the puck."
Halikas tallied again in the second, and after two it was North Country on top 3-2.
"We got some very good work out of Kody on Saturday," said Roy. "Andrew Gonyaw also gave us a lot of quality shifts and is developing nicely."
With 2:20 remaining in the third, Peter Dukas tied the game for BFA, setting up Streeter's heroics in overtime.
Chris Bronson stopped 28 shots for the now 7-2 Falcons, while BFA moves to .500 at 4-4-1.
Next up the boy's will back-end a hockey doubleheader in Jay when they host Colchester, who NCU defeated 5-4 earlier this season.
Puck drops at 7:00.
No. Country 5, Hartford 0
HARTFORD–Whitney Bernier had three goals to lead the North Country girl's hockey team past Division I Hartford (3-6-1) on Thursday night.
"This was our most complete game of the year," said head coach Claude Paul.
"We set the tone early and kept the pace, rolling three lines all game long."
Bernier had two goals in the opening period, including a power-play tally on a five on three advantage.
Savannah Alberghini-Giroux had the other score in the first.
Whitney completed the hat-trick in the third, with Taylor Morley scoring as well.
Said Paul, "This is the way I want the team to play, getting quick goals early and having an all-around team effort."
Mikaella Doran stopped ten shots to earn shut-out number five.
The win moves the Falcons ahead of Harwood by one index point, placing them in the top spot in the Lake Division with a 7-2-1 record.
The team will travel to Brattleboro today for an afternoon contest at 2:45.
Rice 40, No. Country 25
SO. BURLINGTON–North Country's girl's basketball team dropped to 4-3 on Friday, losing to undefeated Rice (9-0) 40-25.
"It was a check in how hard we have to work to compete in this division," said coach Christiane Brown. "We started to show up in the second. We picked up our D, started to get some steals, which helped to create our offense."
The was not much offense for the Falcons in the first three quarters, as Rice held them to six in the first, none in the second, and two in the third.
In the fourth they were able create some scoring, breaking out for seventeen points in the final eight minutes.
"We were patient in the fourth. The team never gave up because they are a bunch of fighters, which will help them out as they go through life," said Brown.
Nicole Therrien led the team with eight points, while Mykayla Tanguay was right behind her with seven.
Morgan Greene and Michaela Stanley each had six rebounds, and Therrien five.
Things get a little easier for the girls on Tuesday as they will head down the interstate to St. Johnsbury to face the 2-6 Hilltoppers.
Tip-off is at 6:30.
Hazen 48, Lake Region 43
ORLEANS–The Rangers let an early double-digit lead slip away as the Hazen Wildcats came storming back to defeat Lake Region in girls hoops on Friday night.
The blue and white got off to a very balanced start, getting scoring from six different players in the first.
Drew Neal had a three and a pair from the line to pace the home team with five points, and it was 16-9 LRU after one.
The Rangers would muster only five points in the second to Hazen's 11, and at the break, just one point separated the two teams at 21-20.
Just like against Lamoille, the third quarter really hurt Lake Region.
Ashley Locked had four points, Tyrah Urie two, but that was all the scoring the team could get.
The Wildcats doubled up on their opponents with twelve, and they were ahead going into the fourth.
Offensively speaking, the final quarter was the best for both teams as they combined to score thirty-four points in the eight minutes.
Lake Region had eighteen of those points, with Urie's six leading the way.
But the sixteen points scored by Hazen were just enough to earn the two-point win.
6-2 Hazen's Alyssa Whitney led all scorers with fifteen points, while Urie's eleven were tops for 5-2 LRU.
The girls are really into the meat of their schedule now, and they get right back to work tonight, hosting Lyndon Institute at 7:00.
Mid-VT 46, UCA 40
WHITE RIVER JCT–The two good quarters, two bad quarters plagued the UCA girls on Saturday as they lost to Mid-Vermont Christian to move to 3-7 on the year.
"We played great in the first and in the fourth, but we need to be more consistent when it comes to playing a full game," said coach Molly Smith. "We were trailing by seventeen in fourth, cut it to six, but just ran out of time."
Laura Libby's 15 points led the way for the Crusaders in the contest, and her effort was well received by her coach.
"She was very aggressive and took control of the game in the fourth," Smith said. "She really needed a game like this and it was nice to see her go out and have one."
Smith also noted the strong defensive work by Olivia Foster and Christina Maxwell as part of the reason UCA had success in the fourth.
Hannah Piette had nine points, while Maxwell added eight.
UCA was slated to play this Tuesday, but the game has been cancelled, so they will be back in action on the 23rd at Canaan.
Rice 77, No. Country 60
NEWPORT–Despite showing improvement, the Falcon boys still had a tough time against the number two-seeded Rice Green Knights (8-1) on Friday, falling to 1-9 on the season.
Rice's Casey Tipson led all scorers with 20 points, while Keenan Warner topped out at twelve points for NCU.
Two other Falcons were in double digits as Jason Hatin added eleven and Kendrick Gray had ten.
Things will continue to be challenging for North Country as they get to face top seeded St. Johnsbury on Thursday on the road.
Tip is at 6:30.
Mid-VT 40, UCA 29
WHITE RIVER JCT–Mid-Vermont Christian handed the Crusader their worst loss of the season on Saturday afternoon.
Said head coach Tony DeLaBruere on the loss, "We struggled with our game offensively, both outside and inside, which eventually made us tentative on the defensive side.
"When those areas are affected in a negative manner, one would expect to be on the losing side of a score like this."
Only three players were able to find the bottom of the net for the Crusaders, led by Paul Saaman's game-high seventeen points.
Chris DeLaBruere added seven, and Marquel Taylor-Webster had five.
"We need more than three guys to score in order to have a successful outcome and today we didn't get that," said DeLaBruere. "Paul kept us in it nearly all the way with 17 pts., but they finished the game with a couple baskets at the end to seal it. We will learn from this and look forward to our next game on Wednesday in Canaan."
The loss puts UCA at 8-2, right in the mix of the top three in D IV, while Mid-VT now stands at 7-4.

Crime and water treatment were top agenda items at the Feb. 24 East Carbon City Council meeting.
The quarterly law enforcement report showed notable trends in the city's crime, while water project discussions had the council moving at top speed to get culinary treatment ready for spring demand.
"We are currently only running on one treatment tank," said Terry Harrison, the councilmember charged with caring for the treatment facility. "That way we can use the second tank when back-flushing of the primary tank is needed."
The East Carbon systems supplies water to its host city as well as Sunnyside and the Columbia subdivision.
While one unit is sufficient for the time being, spring water demand will dictate that the cities get at least three units ready for peak water usage in the summer, according to the officials.
Harrison reported via telephone on Wednesday that a complete overhaul has begun on units three and four at the plant on Feb. 25 as remaining snow is removed and East Carbon's camel truck will begin siphoning media from the tanks.
"These Trident 210 A units can produce 300 gallons per minute of EPA standard culinary water," explained the East Carbon councilmember. "However, if we can't finish this project by the time demand increases we are going to fall short on supply."
The city had Siemens engineers examine the units earlier in the winter. The engineers indicated that not only had unit three failed, but its sister unit four had most likely done the same.
"They weren't 100 percent positive that unit four had completely failed but we are going to operate as if it has, we know the media is damaged so we are going to replace the whole unit," stated Harrison. "That way we have all four units functioning at full capacity and our citizens will be taken care of."
The process is extensive and will cost the east county towns "53,075 for parts, labor and oversight to complete the project.
The cost will be split by East Carbon and Sunnyside per the cities' current interlocal agreement, said the councilmember.
More than six tons of media will be taken from each unit, explained Harrison. At that point, the eight filters will be removed.
Next, individuals working for East Carbon, Sunnyside and an independent contractor will clean the tank down to the epoxy. The workers will re-primer and re-epoxy the unit as needed.
Finally, Siemens engineers will be called back to the facility to inspect the installation of the new filters and seals before overseeing the installation of the new media.
"Installing the media will be a two day job," commented Harrison. "The specialist has informed us that only a certain amount can be added to the tank before it is back-flushed in order to protect the unit."
Additionally at the council meeting, East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard provided officials and city personnel with a detailed list of all crime in the local area.
The table showed that, after responding to 1009 reported events, East Carbon officers dealt with 998 actual events and made 79 arrests in the two city area.
Following the crime data report, Leonard addressed issues that had been brought to the police department's attention by local citizens.
There has been repeated complaints by some Sunnyside citizens that they were not getting adequate patrol time, noted the police chief. However, Leonard assured everyone in attendance at the meeting that Sunnyside was patrolled as much as East Carbon and more than the Columbia subdivision in some cases.
"Our force is split between the two cities," said Leonard. "We have two officers living in East Carbon and two living in Sunnyside and both cities are adequately patrolled."
Leonard also cautioned citizens to lock their doors as crime statistics have risen in the county if not necessarily in East Carbon.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Tuesday's snow storm officially made this an above average year for Lewiston Public Works, becoming the 17th "winter event" of the season.
Public Works records an "event" when crews treat the roads for snow, ice, and other forms of precipitation.
Over the last decade, Lewiston Public Works has averaged 16.25 winter events per season.
"It started off slow, but it's going out with a bang, that's for sure," said Matt Pelletier, plowing through his late-night shift with Lewiston Public Works Tuesday.
Pelletier expected to work a 16 hour shift, finishing his Lewiston run by mid-Wednesday morning.
He said the February blizzard was the worst event of the year due to high winds and zero visibility.
Pelletier said events like Tuesday's are difficult because of traffic during morning and evening commutes.
"People try to get in between us, people try to pass us," he said. "Definitely makes the night go by good if people stay at home."

North country agencies will use $900,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help eradicate and prevent homelessness.
The federal grant was made to the Continua of Care housing coalitions in Franklin, Essex, Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Lewis counties to continue funding projects. A bulk of the funds, $748,795, went to the Jefferson County Department of Social Services.
We spend it all, said Laura C. Cerow, Jefferson County DSS commissioner. In fact, weve overspent. When we got the Shelter Plus Care grant, we had far less people showing up at our door with emergency homeless needs.
Shelter Plus Care is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development program designed to provide housing and case management for homeless people and their families. The case management component is important, Mrs. Cerow said, because if people dont have a permanent home, theyre not likely to make medical appointments or perform other personal necessities.
The department will work with the disabled population because theyre very transient in housing, Mrs. Cerow said. For people to receive those services, they must agree to case management.
Part of the DSS money includes help for people to remain in their homes, in order to prevent homelessness.
According to a news release from the North Country Behavioral Healthcare Network, a Saranac Lake agency that helped coordinate and complete the grant application, the federal money will be used to support emergency, transitional and permanent supportive housing for the homeless and homelessness prevention efforts for those at-risk of becoming homeless.
At the Mental Health Association in Jefferson County, a $74,000 award will help people who are mentally ill with transitional housing. Executive Director Theodore R. Stiles Jr. said the agency has three apartments in back of the agency, 724 State St., specifically for the homeless prevention program. Case managers will work with clients on finding a job, offering advocacy and finding permanent housing.
Mr. Stiles said clients have one year to complete all of that.
We wouldnt be able to maintain the program, he said. This is a major issue for people with mental illness. To provide them a safe place to live, a job, advocacy work thats a major link this community didnt have before the grant.
About $50,000 will be spent in Franklin and Essex counties, while about $26,000 will be spent on funding for HUDs Homeless Management Information System database, which aims to help agencies keep accurate records of homeless people.
An additional $482,000 in HUD funding to support new, related projects in those counties may be announced as early as May or June.

I know a couple of people that lost a bundle in the stock market like that.
I know a guy that wasted his money on a fortune teller when he was having trouble with his girl friend.
I know of people that go to 'mediums' to talk to their dead loved ones.
I know of a group of people that condemn decent people that are homosexuals and used to defend slavery because a book of near eastern myths supports it.

Hi l-n-g,
I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor. I hope we can keep corresponding with a sense of humor.

Atheists do have a great sense of humor.
Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao and the whole gang of dialectical materialists loved to laugh at their victims.
And look at George O'Connor over at Red State Rabble laughing about the thought of Kent Hovind getting raped in prison.

Hi readers,
what Emanuel has done is called "generally" a part to whole comparison fallacy. There are some others in there too, so I thought I'd take a minute to exercise my hobby of analyzing arguments in real time to show how irrelevant Emanuels trollish comment to be.
As a side note, my use of 'trollish comment' is called 'loaded language' and is a staple in rhetoric to attempt to instill a negative bias against him.
In the first place I question his presumption that all these names Laughed at their victims,
that would be an equivocation of the context of the sense of humor implied by my comment to l-n-g
He has assumed that those names, including O'connor, are typically representative of atheists in general. I don't know about the rest of my counterparts here or in general, but I don't have the power and influence they did and I would say that in general power corrupts whether you are Mao, or Hovind or Haggard, etc.
Hovind got himself into prison, by doing illegal things that you wouldn't expect out of a christian with the spirit indwelling, O'Connor probably would mock him anyway, so that should come as no surprise that he mocked Hovind in this case either.
Hovind has done more than just cheated the government, he has created a con which stolen and redirected money to build a YEC empire that could have gone to other places such as the 'make a wish' foundation.
In my cold atheist heart, I do not have a lot of sympathy for Hovind, I think he got what he deserved through due process, but I do wish your god would bust up his empire. His 'company' just opened a new museum in kentucky. It was profiled in the New York Times.
Meanwhile, the problem of evil continues with guys like Hovind, Haggard, Roberts (pat and oral), Swaggart, and the Bakers corrupted by their power, bilking the gullible out of billions of dollars. Not to mention the christian media industry that pulls in billions each year, that goes to support a belief in the undetectable, unmeasurable, undefined, controversial god. And can you tell me what is the point of a 'crystal cathedral'?
If you can't tell the crooks from the christians or atheists, what good is christianity?
The Holy Spirit is not doing its Job!
So Judge not lest ye be judged!

Apr 11
Fort Worth, TX (April 9, 2011) – After a heartbreaking week in Martinsville, Casey Mears and the GEICO team eagerly anticipated their weekend in Texas. A week ago, Mears drove the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry to the front of the field before a tire issue, followed by a transmission problem, dashed the hopes of the Germain Racing team.
In the interest of moving forward, Mears climbed into the #13 GEICO Camry in Texas on Thursday for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' opening practice session and promptly took control of the 'go or go home' field. The Gecko sat 28th on the speed chart and was the fastest 'go or go home' car, giving the GEICO team hope as they prepared for Friday's qualifying session.
Mears would not fail to impress and would navigate the 1.5-mile quad-oval of Texas Motor Speedway in just 28.933 seconds, at a rate of speed of 186.638 miles per hour. Mears' effort landed the #13 GEICO Camry 22nd on Saturday's Samsung Mobile 500 starting grid.
Amid heavy winds and 80-degree temperatures, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series field took the green flag for 334 laps of racing. Rolling off the starting grid from the 22nd position, Mears fell backwards as he began to immediately battle a loose condition.
Mears would free-fall to 31st before the event's first caution flag of the day was displayed on Lap 9. After bringing the #13 GEICO Camry down pit road for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment, Mears started to head north on the scoring chart. By Lap 57, he was riding in 26th and on the rear bumpers of Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne. Eight laps later, Mears would pilot the #13 GEICO Camry around Kahne and Brian Vickers and move into the 24th position.
Following a scheduled green flag pit stop on Lap 95, Mears began to report a loose condition in the #13 GEICO Camry. Casey radioed to crew chief Bootie Barker: "I'm way loose. I'm sideways out here. The back end is terrible." Barker assured his driver that the necessary adjustments would be made during the next pit stop.
The caution Mears so badly needed came out on Lap 113 when Ken Schrader cut down a tire. Running in the 30th position, Mears brought his #13 GEICO Camry to the attention of his Germain Racing pit crew, who outfitted Mears with four fresh tires, a full tank of fuel and adjustments.
Mears had moved into 29th when he found himself narrowly avoiding peril when a Lap 215 crash involving Martin Truex, Jr., Mark Martin and Regan Smith occurred just in front of the #13 GEICO Camry. Mears carefully maneuvered through the carnage and began his march to the Top 25.
When the checkered flag waved under a Texas night sky, Mears had hustled to a 26th place finish. His effort returned GEICO and the Germain Racing team to the Top 35, ensuring they will be in the field next week in Talladega.
"Of course we want to be better, but we were able to work hard tonight, get a 26th place finish and get back in the Top 35," Mears said after climbing from his #13 GEICO Camry. "It certainly makes a difference when you can show up each week and be guaranteed a starting spot, so obviously our top priority is being in the Top 35 and we were able to make that happen tonight. The crew worked hard during our pit stops and we were able to be persistent and achieve our goal."
While Mears' weekend ended on a good note, getting back in the Top 35 was not the only exciting thing that happened. Mears' new GEICO commercial began airing this weekend. The commercial features the GEICO driver as a 'golfer' and he appears to be 'driving' a golf ball during the spot.
Mears and the GEICO team will next travel to Talladega, Alabama, for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' second restrictor-plate race of the 2011 season.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry will hit the 2.66-mile tri-oval of Talladega Superspeedway for the opening practice session at 2:00 PM (EDT) on Friday, April 15th. Qualifying will follow on Saturday, April 16th at 11:35 AM (EDT).
The Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, April 17th and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

(DETROIT FREE PRESS) - The Detroit Tigers have signed former closer Jose Valverde to a minor league contract, according to Fox Sports Detroit analyst Mario Impemba.
Valverde lost his job late last season and hasn't been able to latch on with a new team via free agency.
The Tigers entered this season with a "closer-by-committee" plan. Phil Coke blew a save at Minnesota on Wednesday.
"There are no major league commitments to the deal," general manager Dave Dombrowski said today. "He is going to join our club in Lakeland -- our extended (spring training) program -- and throw to some hitters, then ... join our Toledo affiliate. There is no specific time frame on that. But he's been throwing 40 to 60 pitches, bullpenwise, over the last time period.
"So in talking to (agent) Scott Boras, he said he's ready to go and face some hitters. So we figured we would sign him. Scott has talked to me extensively through the last few months. We were willing to take a look at him and see what happens."
When did the deal come together?
"Within an hour," Dombrowski said. "Actually, (Boras) sent me a text in the middle of last night. I didn't respond to it because I was sleeping. But I will say it's not the first time we've corresponded. He's talked to me many times about this situation.
"We actually had somebody take a look at Papa Grande last (Saturday). One of our scouts in the Dominican went and looked at him. He threw on the side. Velocity was solid. He threw some splits. But we figured, at this point, it was a situation where we had nothing to lose, and he's open-minded ... at this time.
"He was in the low to touching mid-90s. He had thrown some splits on a much more consistent basis. There is no question he has lost more weight, but that really was not a concern of ours last year, because we thought he was in decent shape. But he has lost another 15 points, they say. Our guys verified he was in very good shape."
Where could this lead?
"Well, he could come back and pitch for our big-league club," Dombrowski said. "We're not signing him just as a favor. The arrangement is we would have the opportunity to add him to our big-league club if we felt it was merited."
Valverde can opt out of the minor league deal if the Tigers haven't called him up in one month (by May 5).
"We're not looking to drag this out for an extended period. It would be more a matter of him throwing to a couple of hitters in an extended program -- a couple of times probably -- if we needed a game in Lakeland, he could do that. And then we would send him to Toledo and take a look at him there."
As for how Valverde and Rondon will coexist in the Toledo bullpen, Dombrowski said, "I haven't even thought of that."

Tin primary
Local rider has run a Shovel in a 57 straight leg frame for ever. i never thought about it before but he has a tin primary on that looks great. Since all Shovels were electric start from the factory and that would require the use of a cast primary how would any of you go about running a stamped primary? I already thought about the Pan bottom with a Shovel top idea. Somehow that doesn't seem quite right for this bike. I could be wrong. It is an early flat side motor but seems to me some of those still look beter than the "nose cone" motors that came later. Thanks in advance. I am sure some one here will know.
