There is no shortage of organizations that would like to have Stephen R. Covey on their team.
When Dr. Covey brings his vision, his passion, his talent and his experience to the table, great things begin to happen.
Faculty, staff and students were able to see that first-hand when Dr. Covey came to speak at a Dean's Convocation at USU on Feb. 24, just one week after his appointment was announced.
In anticipation of the announcement event in February, Cass Matheus, a Huntsman Master's of Science in management information systems student, purchased "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and red it in three days. He said he loved the book and was grateful for the opportunity to meet and talk with the author himself. (Photo by Casey McFarland)
"There is a real crisis of trust in the business community and in the world, yet there are also powerful examples of leaders with great character and competence who live their lives by timeless principles of enduring success," Dr. Covey said. "Many of these ethical leaders are our co-workers, our friends and members of our alumni community. Working with them, we can have a tremendous amount of influence in shaping our future."
In reference to a concept he calls "a trim tab" — the small rudder that turns the big rudder on an ocean liner — Dr. Covey said: "We have an opportunity to revolutionize teaching and instill the importance of principles in this next generation of leaders. We can be a "trim tab" for them, and they can be a trim tab for positive influence in the world."
"The Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University will produce a leader that is equal to the greatest challenges of our day," Dr. Covey said. "In a world where trust is becoming scarcer, we have the opportunity and responsibility to produce the kind of leaders who will not be swayed, but instead will become positive forces in their communities."
Dean Douglas D. Anderson echoed Dr. Covey's call for positive moral leadership in business.
"Today when people think of military science and leadership, they think first of West Point or Annapolis," Dean Anderson said. "I look forward to the day when those who think of commerce and leadership will think first of the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. It will become recognized as the premier place for those who want to master the art of principle-centered leadership."
Dean Anderson said the launching of the Stephen R. Covey Center for Leadership is an opportunity for the school, its alumni and friends to be a part of something great. The Huntsman School of Business has launched an initial campaign, with Dr. Covey's help, to raise $10 million to fund the new center.
"We are enormously grateful to Stephen for his personal commitment and for his example in helping raise the funds to establish a Center for Leadership that will become a powerful transformational agent in the lives of our students and generations to come," Dean Anderson said. "His teachings and his personal moral authority have a timeless and universal appeal. Long after we are gone, the principles he has espoused and his lifetime of service will go on illuminating and lifting others who will study and teach through the Covey Center for Leadership at Utah State University."
Dean Anderson said the Huntsman School is wasting no time in taking steps to integrate Dr. Covey's principles into the culture of the school and the curriculum.
"We believe that in order to train great leaders, we all need not only to be aware of these principles, but to practice them," Dean Anderson said. "We believe the U.S. Army has it right when it says, 'There is no lesson learned, unless a behavior is changed.' We intend that the principles Dr. Covey has articulated will have a lasting impact on our students, our faculty and our staff as the new Stephen R. Covey Center for Leadership becomes a reality. I'm hoping that those who share our vision, including our alumni and friends, will step forward now, when it really matters, to make personal contributions and help us raise funds for this great new center."

|Feb. 19, 1948, ch. 65, §§ 2(a), 9 (clause (b)), 62 Stat. 21, 24.
|41:158 (last 5 words of clause (b)).
In subsection (a), the words "all property named in subsection (b), and all services" are substituted for the words "for supplies or services". The words "(each being hereinafter called the agency)", are omitted, since the revised sections of this chapter make specific reference to the agencies named in this revised section. The words "United States" before the words "Coast Guard" are omitted, since they are not a part of the official name of the Coast Guard under section 1 of title 14.
In subsection (b), the introductory clause is substituted for the word "supplies". Throughout the revised chapter reference is made to "property or services covered by this chapter", instead of "supplies", since the word "supplies" is defined in section 101 (26) of this title in its usual and narrower sense, rather than the sense of the source statute for this revised chapter. It is desirable to avoid a usage which conflicts with the definition in section 101 (26) of this title. The word "ships" and the words "of every character, type, and description", after the word "vessels", are omitted as covered by the definition of "vessel" in section 1 of title 1.

Subsecs. (b), (c). Pub. L. 98–369, § 2722(b)(2), (3), redesignatedsubsec. (c) as (b). Former subsec. (b), which had provided that this chapter did not cover land but did cover public works, buildings, facilities, vessels, floating equipment, aircraft, parts, accessories, equipment, and machine tools, was struck out.
1958—Subsec. (a)(5). Pub. L. 85–568substituted "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration" for "The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics".
Effective Date of 1984 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 98–369applicable with respect to any solicitation for bids or proposals issued after Mar. 31, 1985, see section 2751 ofPub. L. 98–369, set out as a note under section 2302 of this title.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The good news coming out of McCoy Stadium on Thursday afternoon was that rehabbing Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, who had struggled at the plate in his first five games with the Pawtucket Red Sox, smacked a home run leading off the sixth inning of the PawSoxŌĆÖs game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
But aside from that, and a four-run rally in that inning by the PawSox that tied the contest at 5-5, there wasnŌĆÖt much else to smile about on the homefront.
No. 9 batter Tyson GilliesŌĆÖs three-run homer with two outs in the top of the seventh broke the tie, and a six-run uprising two innings later helped lead the visiting IronPigs to a 14-5 victory and a split of their four-game series with the PawSox at McCoy Stadium.
While the game was an entertaining one for the 5,717 on hand, the buzz around the park was OrtizŌĆÖs home run, which came on a 1-0 pitch ŌĆō a 90-mph fastball by reliever Michael Stutes ŌĆō and hit the scoreboard in right field just over the IronPigsŌĆÖ bullpen.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been getting more comfortable, more comfortable,ŌĆØ said Ortiz, who had gone 10 at-bats without a hit, ŌĆ£and thatŌĆÖs me when IŌĆÖm comfortable.ŌĆØ
Prior to that blast, Ortiz was in a rut, going 3-for-17 in his rehab stint with six strikeouts and no extra-base hits or walks. He whiffed twice swinging in his first two at-bats against southpaw prospect Adam Morgan, who fanned Ortiz with a 94-mph fastball in the first inning and a 95-mph heater in the third.
ŌĆ£He threw hard,ŌĆØ added PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina. ŌĆ£He commanded his fastball down in the zone. He went right after (Ortiz) in his first at-bat. He threw a 1-0 change-up and got him to swing through that. He threw really well. He kept us off-balanced and he threw strikes.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£He threw the ball pretty good,ŌĆØ Ortiz said of Morgan. ŌĆ£There were some times (during the rehab stint) when I could have walked, but my idea was to try to put the ball in play so I could run and see how this feels. I got the chance to taste that and swing a bat and it felt good.ŌĆØ
All signs point to the Red Sox activating Ortiz, who was placed on the disabled list with his ailing heels, today in time for their series opener against the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park. To make room for him, rookie outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is expected to be sent down to either the PawSox or Double-A Portland.
Still, some questions were surrounding Ortiz as he left the PawSoxŌĆÖs clubhouse after the top of the ninth inning. Does he feel like heŌĆÖs ready to return to Major League action for the first time in eight months? And does he feel like he can play on a daily basis?
ŌĆ£Yeah, I think so,ŌĆØ he replied. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm old enough to know what I need to do, and my main key was to make sure that my feet were fine. ŌĆ" I may need a day off once in a while, but hopefully, it doesnŌĆÖt have to be that way all year. Hopefully, at one point, IŌĆÖll say, ŌĆśOkay, IŌĆÖm 100 percent now, so letŌĆÖs get going.ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I was sitting next to him on the bench and I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was feeling fine,ŌĆØ said DiSarcina. ŌĆ£His main concerns are his lower legs, but heŌĆÖll be fine. The best part of the whole time having him down here is that he left healthy.ŌĆØ
Luckily for Ortiz, he will be heading back to a team that entered ThursdayŌĆÖs night series finale in Cleveland against the Indians with a 10-4 mark and the top spot in the A.L. East standings, not one that is struggling and in dire need of an impact bat in its lineup.
ŌĆ£I love it,ŌĆØ he said, before adding with a smile, ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs less pressure for me. Now I know I can take my time to do my thing and not try to do too much and carry the team on my back. The team is playing well, and hopefully, it continues so that will make it easier on me.ŌĆØ
While OrtizŌĆÖs homer was one of the stories of the afternoon, so was the solid pitching of Morgan, who was tabbed by Baseball America as the No. 5 prospect in the Philadelphia PhilliesŌĆÖ organization.
Morgan, who has a 1.42 ERA in three starts and won the International League Pitcher of the Week honors last week, worked five innings, striking out four batters, walking three, and allowing a pair of fourth-inning hits and a third-inning run on a groundout by Jeremy Hazelbaker.
Unfortunately for Morgan, he threw 100 pitches during his five innings and was forced to give way to Stutes, who promptly surrendered OrtizŌĆÖs home run and four straight hits that allowed the PawSox to knot the score.
Brandon Snyder followed Ortiz with a ringing double to right, and after a single to left by Mark Hamilton put runners on the corners, Mitch Maier knocked in Snyder with a hustle double into the gap in right-center and Hamilton raced home a few pitches later on a wild pitch.
Jose Iglesias then tied the contest with a line double to left-center, but surprisingly for the PawSox, that would be their last hit of the contest. Stutes, Joe Savery, and Jake Diekman teamed up to retire 12 of the hostsŌĆÖ last 13 batters, allowing only a walk to Jonathan Diaz leading off the ninth.
Another story was Rubby De La RosaŌĆÖs third start of the season, which certainly wasnŌĆÖt the charm for him or the PawSox. The prized prospect, who was acquired in last AugustŌĆÖs megatrade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, only lasted two innings and departed after a shaky second inning left the PawSox down by a 4-0 score.
De La Rosa cruised through his first inning of work, retiring the side on a dozen pitches and striking out No. 3 batter Cody Asche with a 94 mph cutter, but after retiring his first batter in the second on a long flyout to center, things began to unravel for the righthander.
He issued a four-pitch walk to Cody Overbeck, and after a fielderŌĆÖs choice grounder by Pete Orr erased Overbeck for the second out, Orr stole second and Steve Susdorf slapped an opposite-field double down the left-field line to score Orr with the dayŌĆÖs first run.
De La Rosa then walked the bottom two batters in the lineup, Steven Lerud and Gillies to load the bases for Jermaine Mitchell, who ripped a 1-2 offering down the right-field line and into the corner for a bases-clearing triple and a 4-0 command.
ŌĆ£He looks like heŌĆÖs just throwing out there,ŌĆØ DiSarcina said of De La Rosa, who threw just 24 of his 46 pitches for strikes and owns an inflated 13.50 ERA in 6 2/3 innings of work. ŌĆ£I think he needs to get to the point where his mindset is more pitching. You can throw 96 mph, but these guys are going to hit it, and [Lehigh Valley] has a pretty good hitting team over there at the Triple-A level.
ŌĆ£I just think he needs to be a little more efficient with his pitches. Talking with (pitching coach) Richie (Sauveur), he needs to be down in the zone a little bit more and pitch, not get out there and throw. But heŌĆÖll learn. HeŌĆÖs kind of been repeating the same mistakes, and now itŌĆÖs time for him to adjust and pitch.ŌĆØ
After De La Rosa exited the game, Jeremy Kehrt worked the third inning, but he didnŌĆÖt fare any better. He gave up singles to three of the first five batters he faced, including a two-out base hit to left by Susdorf that drove in Asche and made it a 5-0 game.
The PawSox eventually tied the score, but the IronPigs untied it on GillesŌĆÖ home run and broke the game open with their ninth-inning rally. The big blast of the inning was a grand slam home run by Overbeck.
ŌĆ£We know what theyŌĆÖre all about,ŌĆØ said DiSarcina. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs a very good team. They have good speed and good power, and theyŌĆÖve gotten some really good pitching the last couple of nights. TheyŌĆÖre tough to play against.ŌĆØ
The PawSox will be on the road for their next eight games before returning to McCoy on April 27 to kick off an eight-game homestand. The first stop on their road trip is a four-game stop in Rochester against the Red Wings that begins tonight at 7:05 p.m.

Frederic Remington Art Museum Education Specialist Lauren V. Gilmour kept the Kids Place open on Martin Luther King Day for children in the community who needed a creative outlet.
The Kids Place is open whenever schools are closed for a holiday or a break from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Ms. Gilmour said, to provide a safe place for free expression.
There are always materials on hand, Ms. Gilmour said, gesturing at the roomful of art supplies.
On Martin Luther King Day, brother and sister Cooper and Lexi Stuntz were brought to Kids Place by their father, Conrad.
After seeing paper towel tubes, Cooper was inspired to construct cardboard towers reminiscent of the Middle Ages. By midday he was working on his second tower – a more ambitious construction complete with a large, green roof.
His sister was likewise inspired by the paper towel tubes, but in an entirely different way.
Lexi, with a healthy dose of purple and yellow paint, turned hers into a tropical bird, complete with feathers found in the Kids Place artistic arsenal. In addition to the normal winter operational hours of 3 to 5 p.m. Fridays and 1 to 4 p.m. on weekend days, Kids Place will have several more opportunities for the communitys children to be artistically inspired.
Kids Place will be open with special school holiday hours on Feb. 18 and 22, March 15 and 29, April 1 through 5 and May 27. For each of these days, Kids Place is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There is no admission fee.

Submission Study of homework copying in MIT->
Equating speedy answers with copying, the team concluded that about 10 percent of the students copied more than half of their homework, about 40 percent copied 10 to 50 percent of their homework, and about half the students copied less than 10 percent of their homework. By the end of the semester, students who copied 50 percent or more homework earned almost two letter grades below students who didn't copy very much, the team found. Heavy copiers were also three times more likely to fail the course.
They also report that certain change in course formatting and self-reporting academic dishonesty survey has reduced copying by factor of 4.

City of Dark Magicby Magnus Flyte
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Cosmically fast-paced, wildly imaginative, and with City of Lost Dreams—the bewitching sequel—on shelves now, City of Dark Magic is the perfect potion of magic and suspense
Once a city of enormous wealth and culture, Prague was home to emperors, alchemists, astronomers, and, as its whispered, hell portals. When music student Sarah Weston lands a summer job at Prague Castle cataloging Beethovens manuscripts, she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to become. Prague is a threshold, Sarah is warned, and it is steeped in blood.
Soon after Sarah arrives, strange things begin to happen. She learns that her mentor, who was working at the castle, may not have committed suicide after all. Could his cryptic notes be warnings? As Sarah parses his clues about Beethovens Immortal Beloved," she manages to get arrested, to have tantric sex in a public fountain, and to discover a time-warping drug. She also catches the attention of a four-hundred-year-old dwarf, the handsome Prince Max, and a powerful U.S. senator with secrets she will do anything to hide.
And the story continues in City of Lost Dreams, the mesmerizing sequel, which finds Sarah in the heart of Vienna, embroiled in a new web of mystical secrets and treacherous lies.
"Cleverly combining time travel, murder, history, and musical lore, this is a breezy, lighthearted novel. Sarah Weston is researching her Ph.D. in neurological musicology in Boston when a letter arrives summoning her to Prague. Maximilian Lobkowicz, the heir to the ancient Lobkowicz fortune, is planning to turn the family palace, located within the Prague Castle complex, into a museum; Sarah's job will be to establish the relationship between one of the first Lobkowicz princes and Ludwig von Beethoven. Sarah is warned that Prague is 'a threshold' to 'dark magic,' passion and violence, and she suspects that mysteries await. And how. A little person gives Sarah a pill shaped like one of Beethoven's toenails that allows her to move through time, encapsulating many centuries. She not only sees Beethoven but also several of the dead Lobkowicz princes; Tycho Brahe, the 16th-century alchemist; and also Nico, who was at that time called Jepp and is now 400 years old. Plucky, impulsive, and reckless, Sarah is determined to discover the identity of Beethoven's Immortal Beloved, and time and again she's a hair's breath from death in dangerous situations. Tensions rise when Sarah's Boston violin pupil, 11-year-old blind musical prodigy Pollina, arrives in Prague and warns Sarah about forces conspiring against her. Complicating an already tangled plot, an evil senator from Virginia with the U. S. presidency in her sights schemes to kill anyone between her and some incriminating letters she wrote to her erstwhile lover, a KGB officer, while she was CIA. In a story that abounds in mysterious portents, wild coincidences, violent death, and furtive but lusty sexual congress, Flyte (the pseudonym for TV writer Christina Lynch and Meg Howrey, author of Cranes Dance) also offers a veritable guide to Prague that includes such historical references as Rabbi Loew's golem, the Golden Fleece, the Holy Infant of Prague, and a vault under St. Vitus Cathedral, where Sarah and Max find themselves in a tense denouement that promises a sequel." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
The exhilarating, genre-bending sequel to the sensational New York Times bestseller City of Dark Magic
In this action-packed sequel to City of Dark Magic, we find musicologist Sarah Weston in Vienna in search of a cure for her friend Pollina, who is now gravely ill and who may not have much time left. Meanwhile, Nicolas Pertusato, in London in search of an ancient alchemical cure for the girl, discovers an old enemy is one step ahead of him. In Prague, Prince Max tries to unravel the strange reappearance of a long dead saint while being pursued by a seductive red-headed historian with dark motives of her own.
In the city of Beethoven, Mozart, and Freud, Sarah becomes the target in a deadly web of intrigue that involves a scientist on the run, stolen art, seductive pastries, a few surprises from long-dead alchemists, a distractingly attractive horseman whos more than a little bloodthirsty, and a trail of secrets and lies. But nothing will be more dangerous than the brilliant and vindictive villain who seeks to bend time itself. Sarah must travel deep into an ancient mystery to save the people she loves.

- Financial or in-kind support of public health programs
- Allocation of funds, property, services or other resources that contribute to community health care needs
- Donation of funds, property, services or other resources which promote or support a healthier community
- Health education and prevention activities, or services to a vulnerable population
- Support of medical research and education

The law mandates that all healthcare charitable trusts with fund balances exceeding $100,000 must develop a needs assessment, a community plan, and a summary of accomplishments and submit a comprehensive report on the above to the Attorney General, Director of Charitable Trusts. This includes several Elliot Health System entities.
For more information, or to comment on our community needs assessment, plans for the future or past accomplishments, contact 663-8407.

Rutherford et al 2005 highlights
The claims of McIntyre and McKitrick regarding the Mann et al (1998) temperature reconstruction have recently been discredited by the following peer-reviewed article to appear in the American Meteorological Society journal, "Journal of Climate":
Rutherford, S., Mann, M.E., Osborn, T.J., Bradley, R.S., Briffa, K.R., Hughes, M.K., Jones, P.D., Proxy-based Northern Hemisphere Surface Temperature Reconstructions: Sensitivity to Methodology, Predictor Network, Target Season and Target Domain, Journal of Climate, in press (2005).
Key excerpts from the article are provided below:
1. page 13, 2nd paragraph (through top of page 14)
It should be noted that some falsely reported putative errors in the Mann et al.(1998) proxy data claimed by McIntyre and McKitrick (2003) are an artifact of (a) the use by these latter authors of an incorrect version of the Mann et al. (1998) proxy indicator dataset, and (b) their misunderstanding of the methodology used by Mann et al. (1998) to calculate PC series of proxy networks over progressively longer time intervals. In the Mann et al. (1998) implementation, the PCs are computed over different time steps so that the maximum amount of data can be used in the reconstruction.
For example, if a tree-ring network comprises 50 individual chronologies that extend back to AD 1600 and only 10 of those 50 extend to AD 1400 then calculating one set of PCs from 1400 to 1980 (the end of the Mann et al. (1998) calibration period) would require the elimination of 40 of the 50 chronologies available back to AD 1600. By calculating PCs for two different intervals in this example (1400-1980 and 1600-1980) and performing the reconstruction in a stepwise fashion, PCs of all 50 series that extend back to AD 1600 can be used in the reconstruction back to AD 1600 with PCs of the remaining 10 chronologies used to reconstruct the period from 1400-1600. The latter misunderstanding led McIntyre and McKitrick (2003) to eliminate roughly 70% of the proxy data used by Mann et al. (1998) prior to AD 1600, including 77 of the 95 proxy series used by Mann et al. (1998) prior to AD 1500. This elimination of data gave rise to spurious, anomalous warmth during the 15th century in their reconstruction, sharply at odds with virtually all other empirical and model-based estimates of hemispheric temperature trends in past centuries (see e.g. Jones and Mann, 2004).
2. page 32, beginning 2nd sentence, 3rd paragraph:
We compared the RegEM reconstruction with the Mann et al. (1998) surface temperature reconstruction employing the same predictor network, the same calendar annual target season, and same global target region as Mann et al. (1998). We eliminated the infilled values from AD 1400-1403 used by MBH98 to complete one of the Jacoby and D'Arrigo (1989) 'Northern Treeline' series back to AD 1400. This is easily done in the RegEM method by treating those values as missing, something that could not have been done in MBH98. We terminated the calibration period in 1971 to address the criticism by McIntyre and McKitrick (2003) of the use by MBH98 of a modest number of infilled missing proxy values in the PC/Multiproxy network between 1971 and 1980.

IRASBURG – Lea Cook has learned things are not always what they seem to be.
Two weeks ago, Cook received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the "Windows Program." The caller said she wanted to show Cook things that hackers did and made her type in a remote access code.
"They had my name, they had my number and they knew I ran a Windows program," said Cook. "It sounded fairly legitimate."
The caller kept Cook on the line for about a half-hour.
"I kept trying to do the things they asked me to do, knowing in the back of my head that there is something that sounds crazy about this whole thing," said Cook. "But I never gave them anything beyond what they already had for information."
The caller, who had an Indian or Pakistan accent, spoke fast as if it was an extremely urgent matter. Cook said the caller lead her to believe that she had a dangerous situation.
The caller offered to remove the damage the fictitious hackers had done to Cook's computer if Cook purchased a $99 program.
When Cook questioned the charge, the caller told her she did not have to pay for it immediately. Cook told the caller she would speak to her son first, but the person did not want her to hang-up the phone. Instead, the caller told Cook to call her son on her cell phone and to keep her computer on.
That was when Cook hung up and called her son, who told her to turn off her computer. Within five minutes, the caller called Cook again and insisted she needed to work on her computer and that the hackers damaged her hard drive and software.
"They were very insistent that I keep my computer online," said Cook. "I said, 'How I do know you're not the hackers?'" To that question, the caller said, "You don't understand, we're trying to help you."
Cook hung up the phone for a second time but the calls continued for about two weeks.
Cook said her computer repair technician, Donovan Quarmby from PC Med, did not think the caller did any damage, in part because she did not give the caller any information like credit card numbers.
Cook is concerned about other people who are not computer savvy being easily taken in.
"It's extremely unnerving," said Cook. "Most of the people I know are very trusting."
Microsoft, the company that produces the Windows Operating System, does not call people on the phone, Quarmby said. "There is no such company as Windows," he said. "It's the latest scam and it's convincing."
Quarmby believes the caller randomly picks numbers in the phone book. He also said people in doubt should contact a computer specialists like a professional repairperson.
"Our advice is simple: treat callers as you would treat strangers in the street – do not disclose personal or sensitive information to anyone you do not know," stated a Microsoft spokesperson through an E-mail. "Unfortunately, this is not the first scam of its kind and it's unlikely to be the last. The best way to avoid becoming a victim is by being aware of the threat. Consumers should also ensure the copy of Windows they are running is genuine and fully up to date, while ensuring they have installed legitimate software will guard against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
When Express Staff attempted to contact the number the caller gave to Cook, a message said the person isn't available. But according to Quarmby, Microsoft would not have such a message. Several online blogs report the same problems that Cook experienced.

The employees of Hansen Surfboards have been putting in extra hours—but it's more than summertime uptick that's got them busy.
They've spent the past several days baking cupcakes, muffins, cookies, cakes and all other things delightful for Saturday bake sale will help raise money to feed hungry children.
Proceeds from the event—which will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the store parking lot—will benefitShare Our Strength, a nonprofit working toward eradicating childhood hunger in the US by 2015.
The idea came about when Hansen Surfboards employee Patty Bolton, an avid baker, learned about the effort while watching TV one night.
"I was watching the Cooking Channel when I saw a special about the Share Our Strength and it said that one in five children in America struggle with hunger every day. I decided to take my love of baking and do something good for kids in need," explained Bolton.
So she approached Josh Hansen, and soon, the whole staff was on board.
When the owners of Channel Islands Surfboards caught wind of the fundraiser, they donated aTaylor Knox autographed surfboard for an opportunity drawing—as did the owners of LOST Surfboards.
Already, Bolton and the Hansen Surfboards staff have raised slightly more than $600 for Share Our Strength, just $900 shy of the goal to raise $1,500.

POTSDAM Financial aid officials at north country colleges are hoping for a turnaround from Congress as they prepare for the consequences of doubling student loan interest rates.
The rate for federally subsidized Stafford loans jumped from 3.4 to 6.8 percent Monday as Congress failed to stop the rise.
These loans, which are awarded to students with financial need and do not accrue interest while a student is in school, make up about a quarter of all student loans nationwide.
The financial aid offices of area colleges have been expecting the increase since last summer, but are still hoping that rates will be lowered once again when Congress returns.
At SUNY Potsdam, students were told to expect a 6.8 percent interest rate.
If legislation passes, reducing the rate from 6.8 percent, it will be good news for our students, but they will have planned for and expected the higher rate when signing for the loans, said Susan C. Merchant, SUNY Potsdams director of financial aid.
SUNY Potsdam disbursed more than 5,100 subsidized Stafford loans in the 2012-13 school year.
SUNY Cantons financial aid director, Kerrie L. Cooper, said she remains optimistic.
Im trying to keep positive, she said. The longer it goes, the more worried Ill be.
More than 70 percent of SUNY Canton students receive subsidized Stafford loans.
If students are saddled with higher interest, they wont have to worry about it while they are attending school, but once they graduate they will have more to pay off. The increase does not affect loans already disbursed, so those who have graduated have no need to worry.
At a time when some graduates are having a difficult time finding employment, this is kind of a piling on of their challenges, said Jeffrey B. Rickey, vice president of admissions and financial aid for St. Lawrence University, Canton. Congresss infighting and lack of cooperation has resulted in this extra burden to students.
For now, college officials are educating students while playing the waiting game, uncertain what Congress will do. Its a game they are used to, said Clarkson Universitys financial aid director, Pamela A.V. Nichols.
Uncertainty in laws and regulations governing federal financial aid programs is not new nor uncommon. Over the past several years, Congress has made many last-minute changes that impact the financial aid community and students, she said in an email.
All four financial aid directors agreed that Congress should roll the rate back.
At this point, were still hoping that they come to an agreement very soon, Ms. Cooper said. Because they dont want students to be paying higher interest rates. She said parents and students should urge Congress to take action.
I would tell them to write to their Congress people. We have found it very effective in the past to get the word out, she said.

Quercetin is already widely used a dietary supplement ingredient, although it's rarely used just by itself. More commonly, quercetin is combined with other complementary supplements or as part of a multi-ingredient formulas that target a specific health condition or factor. For example, one popular quercetin combination marketed by many supplement brands combines quercetin with the pineapple enzyme bromelain in a popular formula for allergy-like symptoms. You'll also see quercetin in prostate formulas and products for vascular health, too. A new human quercetin study is bound to attract much more interest in quercetin since it shows beneficial effects on both blood pressure and harmful LDL cholesterol. And these effects were demonstrated in people with metabolic syndrome, who are already at high risk for hypertension and cholesterol imbalances. Better, yet, quercetin is inexpensive, natural, safe and very well-tolerated with none of the side-effects of either blood pressure or cholesterol drugs.

As August wanes slowly into September, one can hear the school bells ringing in the distance, beckoning fresh pens, note books, and clothes for all the children readying themselves for another school year. This time of year not only signifies preparation for school, but an ideal- if not momentous time frame to make significant gains in your lawn. Yes, it's back to school for your grass too! Fall has huge advantages over spring in terms of aeration, seeding, renovations (large and small), liming, potassium, and various blends of fertilizer. Fall is "Christmas" when it comes to strategically improving your urban or suburban lawn through a host of treatments in a short period of time- 1 to 2 months in most cases. Why all the fuss? Why all the clatter- what could be the matter? I will tell you so please read on!
Your grass likely took a pounding this summer with the unusually high heat, dry periods, weed invasions of all kinds that crawl or stand upright. People, this is war and if you don't make your move- the enemy will win- you will lose ground. Fall is the perfect time to fight back- but why you say? The soil is warm with cool nights making ideal seed germination conditions. Annual weeds like crabgrass- spurge and other villains are dying- on their way out which means minimal completion for light, nutrients, and space. Indeed, fall has many benefits similar to late spring without the mud, cold soil, and upcoming competition of those aforementioned annual weeds. Simply put, if you love or even like your lawn- if you dabble in applying a little fertilizer here or there- this is the time to do it. Deep down, you know you should act- but how?
If you hire a company like mine- all of the details will be handled for you. However, should you take on this roll yourself- you must plan out what you want to accomplish because the timing and sequence of events are important for maximum results. After all, working for no results is not much fun- like eating out at a restaurant with no food- fun for a few minutes but quickly becomes a waste of time and energy.
Aeration and over-seeding rank #1 and #2 in our top 6 turf list of beneficial things to do. I will not go into detail as to why these services are so important- you can check out my earlier blog posts for that- but rather I will rate the treatments in terms of overall importance. http://mrgrass.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/think-aeration-overseeding-this-fall/
Coming in at #3 is lime, especially high calcium lime- again- check out my post and link below which explains why lime is so important, especially around seeding. http://mrgrass.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/lime-in-the-key-to-any-successful-lawn-care-program/
Sea Kelp, a natural bio-stimulant, soil enhancer, and organic matter delight comes in at #4 in our top 6 list of lawn treatments. If your lawn is new, sandy, weak, or has soil that was best left in a landfill or Walmart parking lot- this product is for you! The best part about Sea Kelp is how wonderful it is to improving the soil and root zone environment for your grass. You may have a hard time finding some fresh Sea Kelp, but it is worth the time finding it. http://mrgrass.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/sea-kelp-a-multivitamin-for-your-lawn-soil/. Lets just say Sea Kelp is one of my favorite overall treatments. The only reason Kelp ranks 4th is it can be done any time of year! If you have not had a treatment, now is the time- don't wait until spring.
Rolling in at #5 is a balanced fertilizer treatment (1-3 visits) depending upon your exposure, grass types, and how early you start the series of treatments (Aug vs Oct).
The #6 treatment is potassium and can be done in late September to early November depending upon your geographic location. For more information on this treatment, click on this link. http://mrgrass.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/give-your-lawn-a-banana-potassium/
In an ideal situation, you would want to complete the entire list. However, budget restraining- I have numbered them in order of priority in terms of benefit to your lawn this fall. So while you are out clothes shopping for your kids and just found that perfect backpack or stapler- don't forget to prepare your lawn for school as well! Rent that aerator, buy that seed, shop for lime and fertilizer. Best of luck and I wish that the grass may always be greener on your side of the fence!

(Rachel Lorraine, Rachel Swimmer)Tasha Reign is a California girl from the Laguna beach area and she has lived there all of her life. She has blonde hair, green eyes and lovely 34D tits which highlights the rest of her slim sexy body too. When she was in high school she was cast on the MTV reality series "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." She attended Santa Monica College and enrolled later in UCLA where she took women's studies. Tasha began stripping in 2008 and also appeared as a nude model in several men's magazines including Playboy. One of her first adult movie appearances was in the film "Barely Legal 111" from Hustler Video released in late 2010. She has a solo masturbation scene in the film which has her oiling up her entire sexy body. She then proceeds to masturbate with her fingers and finally using a couple of different sex toys before the scene ends. While not a terribly noteworthy scene, it definitely served to make her familiar with the entire process of filming an adult movie and performing as well. Tasha performed in "North Pole 93" in 2012 and it marks the first time that Peter North has even ejaculated inside of a girl instead of all over her face. He was quoted in an industry article as saying, "Tasha Reign gave me an unforgettable orgasm. It was my first cream pie scene, and I couldn't hold back. We have amazing chemistry together! I love her rack and body - simply delicious." Ms. Reign received the honor of gracing the DVD box cover with her lovely naked body. Tasha Reign has performed in more than 70 films so far in her career and has more than 143,500 followers on her official Twitter account. She has earned several adult industry award nominations during her still short career which include the AVN Crossover Star of the Year and most recently the 2013 XBIZ Female Performer of the Year. She has no retirement plans and is still very much an active pornstar.

A town of Rutland woman was sentenced Friday in Jefferson County Court to up to three years in state prison for failing to return a rental car.
Jacqueline J. Burdick, 51, of 30050 Middle Road, was sentenced to 1� to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty Nov. 9 to fourth-degree grand larceny. She admitted that on March 12, she rented a 2003 Saturn from Affordable Rent-A-Car, 342 Factory St., and never returned it.
She also was sentenced to a concurrent 1�-year term for a probation violation. At the time of her larceny plea, she admitted violating probation by continuing to use crack cocaine while under supervision and by being discharged from a substance abuse treatment program before completing it. She was serving five years probation imposed in June 2011 for a fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance conviction. She was sentenced Friday as a second-felony offender based on the drug sale conviction.
In other court activity:
Leb W. Farless, 42, of 6267 Pine Grove Road, Glenfield, was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and three years probation after pleading guilty in November 2010 to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
He admitted that he drove while intoxicated in August 2010 on Route 12 in the town of Rutland while his drivers license was suspended or revoked for a prior alcohol-related offense.
He also was fined $1,000, had his drivers license revoked and was ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns or operates. His probation supervision will be transferred to Lewis County.
Tyler J. Fisk, 23, of 324 Merrick St., Clayton, was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty Aug. 31 to fourth-degree criminal mischief.
He admitted damaging property at a town of Clayton residence on July 2. He also was ordered to pay $1,546 in restitution for the damage.
Nicholas Vanzelf, 20, Watertown, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted robbery. He admitted that on Nov. 7, with two others, he tried to steal money and a wallet from a 15-year-old boy at Maywood Terrace.
He is expected to be sentenced Feb. 8 to time served at the PSB and five years probation.
Jesse R. Davis, 17, and Cody L. Davis, 18, both of Watertown, also face indictments in the matter, in which a pellet gun allegedly was displayed.
William M. Payne, 26, of 617 Boyd St., pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and third-degree perjury. He admitted that, with others, he caused injury to Paul E. LaDuke, including a broken tooth, June 7 on Boyd Street. Police said at the time of the incident that Mr. LaDuke was knocked to the ground and $150 was forcibly taken from him.
Mr. Payne is expected to sentenced Feb. 22 to time served at the PSB and five years probation.
Jeffrey R. Smith, 25, of 936 Summer St., pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal contempt as a result of one incident, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property as a result of a second incident and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree criminal mischief stemming from a third incident.
He admitted that on April 21, he damaged items belonging to Tiffani C. LaBarge during a domestic dispute and that he possessed a four-pointed throwing-star knife the same day. It was illegal for him to have the knife because of a prior conviction for attempted grand larceny.
He also admitted that on April 28 in the town of Watertown, he possessed a stolen debit card. He further admitted that on Sept. 20, he violated an order of protection held by Ms. LaBarge by having unwanted physical contact with her. He is expected to be sentenced Feb. 19 to time served at the PSB and five years probation.
Katrina M. Limon, 20, of 214 Flower Ave. E., pleaded guilty to felony aggravated DWI with a child as a passenger. She admitted that she drove while intoxicated Sept. 14 on Keyes Avenue with a 14-year-old girl as a passenger. She is expected to be sentenced Feb. 13 to no worse than five years probation, be fined $1,500, have her drivers license revoked and be subject to the ignition interlock provision.

|Ladd Still On The Lam
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 25 September 2012 06:09
James Ladd is still on the lam this morning, and prison officials say he could be hundreds of miles away—or in their back yard. There's no indication that Ladd might return to Yadkin County, where he killed two men in 1981and was sentenced to three life terms.
Ladd, 51, was serving the three consecutive life sentences in connection with robbery and shooting deaths of the two men on a Yadkin County farm when he escaped Sunday while working outside Tillery Correctional Center in Halifax County, a farm bordered on one side by the Roanoke River. But Interstate 95 runs through the middle of Halifax County, and with some luck, Ladd could be several states away—at least. Prison officials say that others who have tried escape from the farm have drowned in the Roanoke. Ladd had been operating a tractor on the prison farm Sunday morning, and that tractor was found abandoned on the farm just before noon. NC DOC spokesman Keith Acree said Ladd became eligible for parole last year, after serving 30 years in prison, but he was denied parole in January 2011 and is scheduled for his next parole review in 2014. His prison behavior included only minor infractions, most recently for unauthorized tobacco use, and had won Ladd assignment to the farm which allowed him to work outside of the prison's walls. Acree said Ladd is now considered dangerous and should not be approached. Acree described Ladd as a white male with graying hair and a beard, which he may have shaved since his escape. He's 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds, has blue eyes, and was last seen wearing green pants and a white t-shirt, but may also have a pair of black pants. Anyone who spots the inmate is instead asked to contact local authorities.

"I have Nigel Swift's photo" boasts Texan metal detectorist Dick Stout. "Paul Barford, I will not post your photo (at least not yet) out of concern for your family" he adds.
"I have photos of him (Paul Barford) and of his sidekick (Nigel Swift)" chips in well-known English metal detectorist and author, John Howland. "I'm anxious to let anybody who wants them, have them. In fact, some already have Swifty's pic. As I've said before, if he (Paul Barford) is frightened for his own safety, or that of his family, he should have considered his actions and obnoxious posts before insulting all and sundry. Throw the shyster to the dogs, in the same way he'd throw our hobby, if he could, in the trash can. You've got him by the balls, don't let him off the hook!"
The issue, as they demonstrate they know very well, is that both Paul and I and our families have been threatened several times by metal detectorists who object to our view that metal detecting shouldn't be banned but should be conducted in a far less damaging fashion. The fact that our view is shared by the whole of The Archaeological Establishment but that they daren't say so publicly and are even silent about those who threaten us says all that needs to be said about Britain's current disfunctional stewardship of its portable antiquities.
Update 22 December 2012 by Nigel Swift
Mr Howland has now published (on Mr Stout's website) where he believes I live. It seems (to me) there is now ample evidence of reckless or deliberate behaviour, perhaps with the connivance of others, that could put me or my family at risk and that there is no scope whatsoever for convincing denials. Consequently I have taken the appropriate action.
Update 4 January 2013 by Nigel Swift
Last night I had a very unpleasant phone call containing an implied but clear threat, repeated six times, from a very well-known detectorist (the same one that last year posted on our Facebook page "hope you all DIE soon"). Once again I have taken the appropriate action.
["Bill" has now posted on Mr Stout's site, (18 Jan 2013)….."To add a bit of twist along the same lines…..I went to Nigel's Swift's Heritage Action site and spotted his comments about you and John Howland having pictures of him and Paul Barford that you were handing out. I was laughing so hard I couldn't possibly post anything coherent or lucid at the time".
Had Bill or Mr Stout had late night telephone death threats from professional detectorists, as I have, perhaps they'd laugh less. However, since Mr Stout has failed to acknowledge both of my messages he may have been hoping to rely, if needed, on the "I wasn't told there was a problem officer" defence and by posting that on Mr Stout's website Bill has obligingly deprived him of that possibility. So for that at least I'm grateful to him.]
23 and 25th January 2013 …..
Mr Stout has at last replied to me. He states that he has finally removed the material in question and that "it is not, and never has been my intention to cause any harm". I think I can be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Indeed, even now he is displaying two (alleged) unclear pictures of Paul Barford with the threatening words "Small wonder Barford hides his face. For the moment… at least….!!!"
Perhaps any fair-minded detectorists, such as those who have left comments or written to me will monitor the site and let me know if there is anything now or in future that I or the authorities ought to know about. Thanks.
20 Feb 2013…. Despite the above assurances ("it is not, and never has been my intention to cause any harm") Mr Stout has just allowed Mr Howland to publicise what is said to be my location yet again – and has even commended the article to his readers. I have sent him the following message: Mr Stout you have hosted another instance (18 Feb 2013) of Mr Howland attempting to bring harm upon me and my family by publishing what he believes is my location. This has been added to the police details. In the event that he is successful I have asked others to ensure your personal complicity is widely publicised.
(The required deletions have now been made, without comment – but not to the screenshots in the possession of West Mercia Police. I was alerted to this by a respectable detectorist. Perhaps others could do the same if necessary in future.)
26 April 2013….. Mr John Howland's campaign to ensure as many violent people as possible know my address and are therefore able to threaten me and my family has continued and has borne fruit. One Steve Taylor has publicly written: "I don't expect we will hear much from him [Nigel Swift] as he only lives a 40 minute drive away, just a little bit too close for comfort, and I would hate to have to squash his nose!" He has now been warned by the police and removed the threat.
I have asked Dr Bland of the PAS to condemn the threat 4 times but he has failed to do so. The fact the police have taken it seriously but PAS still refuses to says it all.
Update 10 August 2013 by Nigel Swift
Mr Howland persists. He has posted on a detecting forum that people should write to me and that they can find my address on a particular named website. Whether he thinks presenting the information in that way makes his action "deniable" I don't know but if he does I am confident he is mistaken. Given all that has gone before I think he would find it very hard to argue that it wasn't his way of tipping off one of those detectorists he knows full well have repeatedly threatened me with violence.
Update 28 September 2013 by Nigel Swift
Another artefact hunter of similar ilk, a Mr Taylor, (who has been spoken to by the police for openly publishing threats to come to my house and attack me), has taken to impersonating us so if you see any obscene or otherwise objectionable comments in the name of Heritage Action or similar or any of it's members they won't have come from us. This also applies to a "false blog" in my name which Mr Taylor is preparing. Of course, disagreeable though all this may be it doesn't make our criticism of the British system of legalised but unregulated metal detecting any less valid.
Updated 20 Feb 2014 by Nigel Swift
Mr Howland today published my address yet again (on the blog of detectorist Andy Baines) and then, having let it stand, sent a further message saying "Will you now delete the address of Nigel Swift from my post, as publication will cause him concern" – thus causing harm and then acknowledging he was aware of it. He then offered the following denial: "Neither I nor you would want to be responsible for anyone pestering him or his family." I hope I can be forgiven for suggesting that was a lie. (I understand 2 days ago he tried to post Paul Barford's address elsewhere too).
Update 26 December 2014 by Nigel Swift
Mr Howland has given a detailed description of me on Mr Stout's blog, clearly intended to be used by those metal detecting thugs who have threatened me with violence (what other purpose could there be?) Now removed, following my message to the hapless (or knowing) Mr Stout (but noted no doubt).
