The Center for Research and Assessment is the division of The College of Global Studies focused on the generation and publication of research and assessment. Managed by the Director of Research and Assessment, the Center provides oversight of many curricular initiatives including Arcadia Atlas™, the Co-Curricular Learning Certificate and Life of the Mind. The Center works closely with the College's data center, which functions as the centralized clearinghouse for all active and historical data sets.
In 2012, The College of Global Studies launched the ATLAS initiative (Assessment of Teaching, Learning and Scholarship), which at its core seeks to introduce intentionality, assessment and planning in all aspects of education abroad. It has within it three tenets: (1) Program Review and Planning, (2) Student Learning and Development, and (3) Institutional Effectiveness. In 2012, the American Association of University Administrators (AAUA) recognized the ATLAS initiative with its Nikolai Khaladjan Award for innovation and achievement in international education.
The first phase of implementation of ATLAS focused on the Program Review and Planning tenet. Following the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) reaccreditation of Arcadia University in 2009, The College of Global Studies adopted a new model for program review adapting the fourteen standards of the Middle States review process to the education abroad context.
The College chose to align the review process with the Middle States Accreditation process in order to present international endeavors in a consistent and equivalent manner as other academic activities. The appropriate review of academic programming must be framed within the context of student learning and curricular quality and not weighted toward professional features that lack academic context.
The ATLAS program review model was piloted in the Fall Semester of 2011 with a review of The College's centers and programs in Spain. It has subsequently been the method employed in four additional reviews. Adjustments to the review process have been made in each iterative review, including altering the size of the review committee, re-focusing several of the review standards, expanding the level of information included in the self-study, and amending the in-country agenda to address topics of concern to the committee. Perhaps most significantly, in the Spring of 2013, the review process was more directly tied to planning throughout The College.
The process includes producing a self-study report addressing critical in-country themes as well as providing written evidence to address each program standard. The self-study is shared with the review committee which is charged with producing a report of findings and recommendations submitted to the leadership council of The College. Leadership council responds to the review committee's report resulting in a five-year development plan for the center.
The program review committee is comprised of 2-3 members of the Arcadia University administration and faculty, as well as 2-3 other external reviewers from other institutions. The College is scheduled to review each of its overseas centers within a five-year cycle, with the first cycle concluding in 2017.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Food banks all over the United States are suffering just at the time when they need the most donations with the holiday season coming up.
The economic downturn across the country, the fear concerning the stock market and jobs either having been lost or being lost all have led to a reduction in donations to vital food programs across America.
In the local area food banks often rely on local donations, in conjunction with food supplied from the Utah Food Bank to get through the holidays. A trip to the Carbon County food bank can tell one the whole story; plainly the center needs more food.
"We just had a food drive and the shelves over here look pretty good," said Jackie Butkovich director of the food bank as she pointed to the west side of the food bank warehouse. "But over here things are pretty scarce."
The east side of the warehouse was full of empty boxes as the leadership of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary posed for a photo with Butkovich as they presented her a check for $300.
"I will be getting turkeys for the holidays from the Utah Food Bank, but I don't know how many we will get. This money will help us to purchase more if we don't get enough."
Butkovich was most concerned a couple of weeks ago when the food bank ran out of soup.
"That's what we distribute the most of and we need that all the time," she said.
The center will take donations in either non-perishable food or money anytime. The supply on the shelves is backed up by the Utah Food Bank which is a private non-profit that distributes food to over three hundred agencies and programs statewide. Donations to the state bank come from community food drives, fund raisers, corporations and government surplus. Every month 73,000 Utahns benefit from food assistance.
The Carbon County food bank is located at 75 East 400 South in Price and is open in the afternoon on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Butkovich can be contacted at 637-9232.

During the Nixon administration the United States did the unthinkable and moved its currency off the gold standard. In the following decades, how we use money has continued to shift and change most notably with technology. The internet has made the world marketplace truly global and has made money again more abstract than tangible with wire transfers, online shopping, and faster payment authorizations with credit and debit cards.
This evolution of money exchange has continued with smartphones and apps. Which brings us to the pertinent launch at CES: moneto, the world's first multi-platform mobile platform mobile wallet. Brought to us by Device Fidelity and Spring Card Systems, this service will bring NFC capabilities to any Android device such as the Samsung Galaxy S 2, the Motorola Droid RAZR and the Sony Xperia in tandem with microSD card.
The specialized encrypted microSD card has both an NFC radio and antenna that bring MasterCard PayPass technology to the gambit of Android devices out on the market. This means the capability to pay on the go and add funds to prepaid accounts with direct deposit, ACH transfer, or third party money transfer services like Western Union or PayPal.
iPhone customers also have great moneto options available to them. There is a unique iPhone protective case that will bring this same capability to iOS users sans microSD card. It is now available to iPhone 3, 3GS, 4, 4S users and retails for $80. This does include $10 in pre-loaded funds for customers to begin their fast pay adventures.
For Google Android users, the microSD card will be available in two or three weeks and be a bit easier on the wallet at $30. To take advantage of this technology, pop in the encrypted card, slap on a small NFC sticker to the inside of your battery case (this boosts the NFC signal) and transfer funds to free yourself from credit cards and make mobile payments. For Android users this also means freedom to enhance mobility and turn their device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make devices functionally efficient and performance rich.

Draft Watch: Ryan Hollingshead
In-depth coverage leading up to the 2013 MLS SuperDraft.
Name: Ryan Hollingshead
Position: MID/FWD
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 180 lbs.
College: UCLA
Class: Senior
Citizenship: United States
Hollingshead is coming off his most prolific season in his four-year career at UCLA, scoring seven goals and assisting on eight more on his way to claiming Player of the Year honors for the Pac-12 Conference. In four years with the Bruins, the Granite Bay, Calif. native played in 81 games while starting 69 matches. Hollingshead leaves UCLA with 16 goals and 21 assists to his name.
Physically, Hollingshead is ready to play in MLS with his six-foot-one, 180-pound frame. Brian Bliss and Robert Warzycha have said that they would like to find a scoring threat in the SuperDraft, and the UCLA product certainly brings that component to the table. Able to play either up top or in the midfield, Hollingshead is a versatile option in the SuperDraft.
"Hollingshead has opted-out of the combine, which will kill his overall rating. He's committed to a service mission of some sort in Haiti. However, he is a good two-way midfielder who can play just about anywhere across the midfield. Good ball handling and always in motion, has the physical presence to compete in MLS."

Desiree Helleger: No Room on her own
Desiree Hellegers is Co-Director of the Center for Social and Environmental Justice, Associate Chair and Associate Professor of English at Washington State University, Vancouver. She is an active member of various advocacy organizations and her writing has appeared in such publications as Counterpunch.
Her book "No Room of Her Own- Women's Stories of Homelessness, Life, Death, and Resistance" is an oral history collection and brings together interviews with fifteen women who share the common experience of homelessness. All the interviews were conducted in Seattle, Washington between 1991 and 2008, but the women's stories zigzag across the country. The narrators recount stories of growing up in the south at the tail end of Jim Crow, of growing up gay and Black in the Pacific Northwest in the 1960s, and of surviving childhood molestation in Harlan, Kentucky in the 1970s. The stories illuminate the part that gender roles play in ensnaring women in cycles of domestic abuse and homelessness. They speak to the physical stresses of homelessness, and the toll it takes on bodies already weakened by high blood pressure, strokes, sickle cell anemia, and epilepsy and the routine threats of physical violence that homeless women in particular encounter on the street. At the same time, however, the stories challenge liberal myths about homeless people, and homeless women in particular, as vulnerable and dependent people worthy perhaps of sympathy but judged to be socially disorganized, disaffiliated and disempowered.

Knicks Targeting Sean Williams?
A source familiar with the Knicks' free-agency plans told ESPNNewYork.com that the team is considering signing forward-center Sean Williams, who was waived by the Rockets this week.
There has been some speculation that the Knicks are interested in unrestricted free agent Josh Howard, but according to the source, they are not into him. Instead, the team wants to add a big man — likely to serve as a backup to Amare Stoudemire on the depth chart. Currently, they don't have one.
Tommy DeeI've been a proponent of bringing Williams in for some time. It's hard not to appreciate what he does defensively, and was a player the Knicks could have used during the early days of D'Antoni.
Obviously, Williams needed to do some maturing mentally and as a player. That's what fans need to understand. Sometimes, players aren't prepared to handle the NBA. Thankfully for Williams he was able to do so in the D-League.

Presented by:Allan Spradling, Ph.D. Director, Department of Embryology Carnegie Institution for Science
Dr. Spradling's laboratory studies the biology of reproduction. By studying ovarian stem cells, they learn how cells maintain an undifferentiated state and how cell production is regulated by microenvironments known as niches. His lab has found that epithelial stem cells responsible for follicle cell production compete. Replacement of damaged stem cells may be a major mechanism that limits somatic mutation, and that mutations exist that confer the ability to replace wild type cells. Such mutations may be precursors to cellular aging and cancer.

It's a task almost everyone hates doing. But if it isn't done, some pretty drastic consequences can result.
That task is winterizing the swamp cooler that sits on top of most of the homes and businesses in Castle Valley.
Now that the warm weather is well past, and the temperatures are nearing freezing, it's time to at the least shut off the water to the coolers tank. And even more should be done than that too.
Since swamp coolers do all their work with water, any water in the tank could cause problems when the temperatures drop below 32 degrees. So the tank should be drained. If no drain is present, as much of the water as possible should be scooped out.
While most people do maintenance in the spring, getting swamp coolers ready for the warm weather, some others swear by the practice of doing it in the fall.
First, residents should heck the pump to see that it is functioning properly before the water is shut off.
If not, a maintenance person will know that it will need replacement in the spring before he or she climbs to the roof.
Next is pads. Many people replace pads every couple of years. Others do it every year.
There are advantages and disadvantages to changing pads in the fall.
The advantage is that, once the cover is removed from the cooler, it is pretty much ready to go.
The disadvantage is that even if the cooler is covered in the winter, dusts still settles in the pads and they will generally smell, whether new or used, in the spring.
With the increase in natural gas prices projected for the winter, fall may be the time that many people will want to do more than just cover the cooler with a canvas jacket.
Many people pack insulation around the cooler inside the cover or remove the grate from the cooler inside the home and stuff the vent with insulation.
This year might the time to do that if it hasn't been done before. But once that is done, the cooler and the fan can't be run until that insulation is removed.
While draining the water, there is also one other thing to remember. If the line that supplies the cooler can be exposed to the cold and has anywhere that water can stand in it, the line should be opened up and drained.
A good rule of thumb is to be sure that all areas of the line have a downhill slope toward the source of the water and that the line is disconnected in spots where water could sit, freeze and break the line.
Finally, the fall is a good time to check the electrical connections on the unit. Be sure the wiring is in good shape. Water, heat and cold take a toll on insulation. If insulation is bad it may be a good time to plan for repairs in the fall.

PAWTUCKET – PawSox skipper Gary DiSarcina found out that reliever Brandon Lyon had plans to make good on the opt-out in his contract while signing autographs on the concourse as part of poster night at McCoy Stadium Thursday.
"We knew his day was coming and he chose to take his out and see what opportunities are out there," said DiSarcina following his club's 6-2 loss to Norfolk on Thursday night at McCoy Stadium.
This marked Lyon's second go-around with the PawSox. His first one came 10 years ago this month. He was on a rehab assignment, knowing that it was only a matter of time before he rejoined the Red Sox.
Those circumstances were nowhere to be found on July 19 of this year, a day that saw Lyon ink a minor-league deal with Boston. Looking at the entire picture, Lyon was simply one name in a crowded field of bullpen reserves the PawSox presently sport.
One of those possible options, Jose Contreras, signed the same day as Lyon. There's also Clayton Mortensen, a player who began the season in Boston, and Anthony Carter, an International League All-Star. This week alone saw Franklin Morales and Alex Wilson down in Pawtucket on rehab assignments while Jose De La Torre rejoined Pawtucket Thursday.
Though he struggled in his second straight outing since coming off the disabled list, the Red Sox still think highly of lefty Ryan Rowland-Smith, who allowed three runs in 1 1/3 innings Thursday. DiSarcina mentioned that recently acquired Brayan Villarreal will serve as a late-game option once he comes off the disabled list.
"(Lyon) probably got a sense with Morales and Wilson down here that there are a lot of guys," said DiSarcina. "It was more about the lack of opportunity."
Lyon's final appearance for the PawSox came Tuesday night, a scoreless ninth inning that resulted in a save. All told he made four appearances and posted a 1.69 ERA in 5 1/3 innings. Lyon was with the New York Mets this season before getting released on July 9.

Longtime North Adams eatery Gringos reopens on Park Street in Adams to reunite with former regulars.
ADAMS, Mass. — Gringos owner David Nicholas did not advertise that he was reopening at the former Firehouse Cafe on Park Street in hopes to have a quiet time to work out any kinks. That did not happen.
"It was the talk to the town for about six months and when we opened it was mobbed. Absolutely mobbed," he said.
Gringos, a longtime North Adams staple, was forced to close four years ago when the city sold the North Adams Plaza. When the Firehouse Cafe closed, Nicholas and his friend Burton Kirk, owner of the firehouse that once housed the Adams Ambulance, teamed up to reopen. Despite being closed for four years, Gringos was not forgotten.
Gringos Owner David Nicholas is confident that a new Park Street location will be a success.
"I think it'll be successful. It'll make money," he said. "It's just been a great response."
The former Firehouse Cafe recently closed down because of a lack of business. Kirk was leasing it out but when the cafe closed, it seemed it would sit empty.
The building is filled with history and character, Nicholas said. It was built in 1890 and served as the town's first firehouse. The restaurant seats patrons where the trucks used to be. The only drawback, he said, is that it is smaller than the North Adams location.
The restaurant has a smaller but similar menu with mostly Mexican but also some American food. It is open Monday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m., and on Friday through Sunday, from 4 to 11 p.m.

Most People Would Rather Commit This Heinous Act Than Do Their Own Taxes!
April 11, 2011 10:26 AM
It's that time of year… tax season!
Even with a couple of extra days to file it can be a stressful time, especially if you do them yourself. Do you? I do my own taxes because I have nothing to write off. I'm a single girl living in an apartment and I can't even write off my two dogs, unfortunately. Although they eat more than I do… and wear more expensive clothes!
But Office Max just did a recent survey and half of Americans say they would rather do this than prepare their own taxes. What is it?

There's something about the phrase "body-conscious" that makes even the most secure woman cringe. Maybe the spandex revolution of the eighties/early nineties frightened you off the style and you fear that attempting it now will make you look like a Kelly Bundy manqué? (Uh, just a guess...) Well it's time to put away those fears and try the trend again. As illustrated by the fashion-forward figures above, it's possible to wear these bodysuit-like styles in a modern way.
Obviously this isn't the first time you've heard about the body-con look, as the tight silhouette made a big splash a few seasons back. We saw variations of this style on the spring runways (skinny little tops and dresses at Anna Molinari, fitted tucked-in tanks at DKNY) and assure you that it will still be a viable trend come fall. The tops in particular will look great with next season's full skirts and sky-high pumps.
We've noticed that many young celebrities are interpreting the runway look by opting for leotard-style tops and bodysuits. Emmy Rossum echoed the neat styles presented at DKNY when she tucked a formfitting cream top into a lipstick red pair of J & Company Beverly Jeans ($128). Rihanna chose a similarly sleek look for dinner at Da Silvano in New York. She paired a green Theory Simmons Bodysuit ($120) in Myrrh with her See by Chloe Patch Pocket Silk Mini($360). Lindsay Lohan is also suiting up as of late. She was spotted in American Apparel's Spandex Jersey Tank Thong ($22) in Lapis, faded black jeans, and white flats while out and about in Los Angeles last month.
In addition to the above-mentioned items, there are lots of body-conscious tops available now. If you'd like a classic dancer-style leotard, try Falke's Fine Cotton Bodysuit ($250) or ASOS's Ruched Front Strappy Bodysuit ($26). The BDG Double Scoop Tank ($18) is a great basic tank to have on hand and we also like Martin + Osa's Essential Tank ($15), which is available in eleven colors!
Simple form-fitting tops are certainly the most accessible way to try the look, but, if you've got a figure like Theodora Richards, by all means go for a body-con dress. Ms. Richards looked current and lovely in the American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-Neck Dress ($30) in Nude T she wore to a House of Campari party in New York. We also like the equally simple Riller & Fount Short Sleeve Jersey Dress ($115). Whatever body-con item you pick, we only ask that you keep your makeup minimal and your accessories modern!

Are you asking for someone to write a tutorial or if you should write one?
How about a tutoral on Web Radio stuff or a n00bies guide or anything.
Are you asking for someone to write a tutorial or if you should write one?
It isn't hard. Just take a look through your vast menu of applications (start with the Multimedia one, of course ), and try different apps for internet radio. You can also go to the sites of the stations (WBUR in Boston has an excellent stream, though I don't know if any of it will run on Linux). Does Real Player run on Linux? I think the choices are usually QT, or RP, or Windows. Possibly the Windows stream will work with Xine, like it would for video? Guess I should try it out in Linux and get back with you.
I just started useing amarok and gstream the new version of amarok works good from what i have seen so far.
Wenn Sie Spaß meines Englisch mich Willensfuckingtötung Sie bilden.
The two sites I use ALOT for streaming radion is www.DI.fm and shoutcase.com. Both sites stream music that XMMP will play, since that is about the easiers player to get working. Amarok is nice because it has a prepopulated list of streaming servers you can just drag and drop the one that you want.
Usually streams are a link directly to the stream like (http://321.321.321.321/stream) or it is a link to a .pls (playlist file). I will many times just download the .pls file (right click save-as) and save it somewhere so I can easily access it again later.

Xm radio is currently give a free three day trial of their "Online" Satelite music service. Its not bad. If you already have an XM subscription, its just 4 bucks more a month to add the online. For just the online its 7.99 a month.
Their documentation was fairly certain that it would work in windows (Which it does, as it uses WMP) and in Max osX with the Mac version of Media Player and not at all in Linux.
However, determined to get it working, I installed the mplayer-plugin for Firefox/Mozilla and I am proud to say that it works.... I may actually pony up the $8 a month for the service......
Cool. My truck stereo is XM ready, so was considering them at one point; especailly with the amount of traveling I do.

Cafédirect: A Fairtrade Pioneer
The philosophy is simple: Buy direct from disadvantaged, yet highly skilled, smallholder coffee growers in developing countries to enable them to bring their quality products to UK consumers.
Cafédirect is one of Fairtrade's longest standing partners and licensees. Founded in 1989 in response to the collapse of international coffee prices, cafédirect even preceded the FAIRTRADE Mark in the UK, which was introduced three years later.
More than 20 years on, the company still trades directly with their grower partners, but has expanded beyond coffee into tea and hot chocolate. They work with 39 grower organizations in 13 countries and have grown to be the UK's largest Fairtrade hot drinks company. Their visionary social engagement also led to them winning the Guardian Sustainable Business social impact award last month.
Cafédirect exemplifies the Fairtrade vision of enabling producers to take more control of their lives and determine their own future. As Head of Communications Jacquie Bance puts it: "It's about empowering the producers to decide for themselves what is needed, not us determining what is best for them".
To help achieve this, cafédirect partners with growers through the Cafédirect Producers' Foundation. Governed by producers and supported by funding from cafédirect, the Foundation provides each organization with funds to invest in their business and improve the livelihoods of grower communities. The growers make their own project plans with support from Foundation staff, who make regular field visits. More than 50 percent of cafedirect's profits have been invested in this programme to date. Typical projects include training, improving quality and investing in processing facilities.
The result: increased productivity, high-quality produce and empowered grower communities
The Mpanga Growers' Tea Factory in Uganda is one group that has benefited from cafédirect's approach. Both Fairtrade certified and a cafédirect partner for ten years, all 782 smallholder growers have benefited from the combination of Fairtrade Premium money and additional training and investment from cafédirect. Access roads, packing machines and latrines are just some of the projects the growers have funded through the Fairtrade Premium. Training on food safety and hazard analysis through Cafédirect funds have improved safety and helped improve productivity. Digital weighing scales ensure complete transparency for the tea farmers and speed up payment of invoices.
"The partnership with cafédirect has been very helpful to our business" says Rogers Siima, General Manager at Mpanga. "Cafédirect has been instrumental in assisting Mpanga obtain certifications such as hazard analysis of critical control points that ensures we produce a safe product for consumption. The Cafédirect Producers' Foundation has also funded management information system improvements which have greatly improved our business relationship with the farmers and the time taken to do reports".

Sunday, Nov. 28, 2010. Anger on Sunday over a Somali-born teen's failed plan to blow up a van full of explosives during Portland's Christmas tree lighting ceremony apparently erupted in arson on Sunday when a fire damaged the Islamic center once frequented by the suspect. Police don't know who started the blaze or exactly why, but they believe the mosque was targeted because terror suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, occasionally worshipped there.

Sharing Memories (Week 46): Ooey Gooey Squishy White Margarine!
If you are just joining us, please take a peek at over 150 earlier prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of Olive Tree Genealogy blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for ideas.
We're one day late with Sharing Memories this week. Yesterday being Remembrance/Veteran's Day, I wanted to honour the heroes in my family who have served their countries.
Today a change of pace - and I'm going to tell you about margarine! Yes. Who remembers the clear plastic bags of white margarine with the circle of yellow dye in the middle? The bags were similar to our one liter milk bags.
To get a nice yellow margarine you broke the circular seal with your thumb and then started squeezing and kneading that bag. It took forever to spread the yellow dye throughout! I used to help my mom by doing it but my hands would get very tired.
Once my brother-in-law and I were goofing around, taking turns squeezing the dye through. Well, we began tossing the bag to each other and of course we had to outdo every throw with a much better one! We tossed under our legs, turned backwards, long throw, short toss, high, low - we were having a great time.
My mom wasn't impressed and warned us we better not drop that bag. Of course we did - and SPLAT -the entire bag fell on the floor, broke open and margarine oozed out. We stood there quite horrified waiting for my mother's wrath. But all she did was tsk and shake her head, then she took a big spoon and scooped up every bit of margarine except what had touched the floor.
And that is what we ate for the next few weeks.
Anyone else remember margarine like that?

I remember that kind of margarine. I still prefer real butter.ReplyDelete
Oh, Lord, I remember the icky white margarine, where you had to mix in the yellow, proving once more that it wasn't really yellow and buttery but yukky and white.ReplyDelete
Also they told us in those days that margarine was good for us, better than butter. And then margarine turned out to be trans fats! Did not help our hearts one little bit. So now we all eat butter instead. There's always another medical discovery lurking just around the corner . . .
I remember squishing the tab to make the butter/margarine yellow, at my grandmother's home. I thought it was butter being mixed up though, I was only about 5 years old at the time so maybe I just assumed it was butter that I was mixing the color into. I never did it at home thogh, so I don't know what we usedReplyDelete

I have a distinct memory of squeezing the yellow and the margarine in the plastic bag, it seems like I was four or so. My mother insisted that that was impossible because they only did that during WW II. I was born in 1945. So I've recently been reading up on false memories and have been thinking that's what that memory was. But it seemed so real. I have been searching on the Iternet and discovered that Truman signed a law repealing the requirement that magarine had to be sold white. Unfortunately all my family of that generation are gone now. Does anyone know when they started selling yellow margarine in Connecticut?ReplyDelete
I was squeezing margarine after my sister was married (it was with her husband that we had the disaster) and after my dad died - and he died in 1960!ReplyDelete
So don't be sure your memory is wrong.
Anyone who wants more details of the Margarine Wars (the reasons it was sold white and the dates) might want to take a look at my latest post at Ancestors in Aprons. If you allow links, that is http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/01/oleomargarine-vs-butter-food-fight/ReplyDelete

CANTON A three-vehicle accident left one person slightly injured and briefly tied up traffic in the center of the village Wednesday afternoon.
Interim Police Chief Victor N. Rycroft said vehicles driven by Brian Nichols, 45, Baldwinsville, Kristen Maroney, 18, Potsdam, and Charles O. Barnard, 60, of Rockland, Maine, collided on the Main Street bridge over the Grasse River at 12:47 p.m. near the Cascade Restaurant.
Miss Maroney was driving a passenger car and the men were driving tractor-trailers.
All three vehicles were westbound on Main Street, with Mr. Nicholss rig stopped waiting to turn left onto Route 11 South. Miss Maroney was in the right-hand lane heading toward SUNY Canton. She was passing Mr. Nicholss stopped truck on the right when Mr. Barnard, who was in the left-hand lane, also attempted to pass the stopped truck vehicle on the right, Mr. Rycroft said.
Mr. Barnard failed to see Miss Maroneys vehicle, striking the car and causing it to spin 180 degrees. Ms. Maroneys vehicle came to rest wedged between both rigs, with the right rear corner of Mr. Nicholss trailer thrust about 12 inches into her right front passenger door
Miss Maroney suffered minor cuts to two fingers on her right hand caused by broken glass. She was treated at the scene by members of Canton Fire & Rescue.
Mr. Barnard was cited with making an unsafe lane change, returnable in Town Court.

Recycling is for old batteries and used motor oil, not failed economic ideas that should have been tossed long ago.
President Obama's State of the Union speech was filled with such big-government policy retreads that failed to jumpstart sluggish economies in the past, including a recycled attempt to force companies to pay higher wages for low-skilled workers.

New work published this week indicates that the human intestines may be home to over 5,600 different bacterial species and strains. Some of those species are harmful, some are harmless, some are essential to life -- and some are somewhat of a mystery, never before being cultured in the lab.
In this segment, we'll learn about new studies that take a census of just what lives inside your gut. We'll also hear about what happens when the gut bacterial community is hit with a dose of antibiotics. Writing in the journal PLOS Biology, a team of researchers reports that people being treated with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin may have the bacterial communities in their intestines altered for weeks or even months. We'll talk about why the researchers think that's significant.

Last Thursday, the night before the Dew Tour took over the streets of San Francisco, iconic skateboard photographer Bryce Kanights and FTC Skateshop presented a photo show of Kanights' 30-plus years behind the lens, titled "Renegades and Role Models." With classic photos from Thrasher magazine in the '80s to the concrete bowls of the Northwest, Kanights is one of skateboarding's living legends. With professional skater Tommy Guerrero spinning the tunes and today's greatest skateboarders in attendance, "Renegades and Role Models" was the perfect way to kick off the weekend.

STAR LAKE The Clifton-Fine Central School Board of Education handed walking papers to interim Principal Brian S. Buchanan and interim Superintendent Susan O. Shene, ostensibly because of an incident Mr. Buchanan had with a student, but some community members saw the contract terminations as vindictive.
Board President Michelle L. Durham did not return a phone call for comment and board members at the conclusion of a lengthy executive session Wednesday did not provide the roughly dozen spectators with a reason for the termination notices, but some speculated the board is using the incident with Mr. Buchanan as retaliation against Mrs. Shene and him for what happened in the superintendent search.
At this point, its very calculated and personal, Mr. Buchanan said. I seriously question the ethics of the majority of the board members.
At the end of the meeting, the board gave 30-day notices to Mr. Buchanan and Mrs. Shene, who is tenured and will return to her job as principal.
The board earlier this year failed to come to an agreement with Mrs. Shene on her becoming superintendent and Mr. Buchanan then turned down the job.
On March 25, Mr. Buchanan bear-hugged student Jeremy W. Blasko, then 15, who wanted to leave the school after being told he had to serve detention. The incident was captured on video but has no sound. According to witness Jaime D. Simmons, the teenager threatened to hit Mr. Buchanan in the face, used vulgarities and was upset.
State police reviewed the tape and determined Mr. Buchanans actions were justified and the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys office concurred. But the teenagers mother, Danelle M. Hillman, thought Mr. Buchanan should be punished.
Were not completely making my son blameless but the principal didnt have to put his hands on him, she said. Im glad the board took action. He could have seriously hurt a student.
Mr. Buchanan said he would have the same response if faced with a similar situation.
I was motivated by what was right for the kids in the building and the student involved, he said. I believe I did what was in the best interest of the school district.
Ms. Simmons said the school board never asked her about her impression of what happened even though she was there.
Jeremy was very upset. Mr. Buchanan was being quiet. I just saw Mr. Buchanan hug him and hold him, Ms. Simmons said. He was totally there to protect Jeremy. The board never once talked to me.
The termination of his contract will not hurt his future employment, Mr. Buchanan said. He will return to the Oneida City School District, where he will become Seneca Street Elementary School principal July 1.
Im fine. The only people this is going to hurt is the kids, he said. I feel very badly for Sue because she hasnt done anything wrong.
However, Mrs. Hillman said the version of events as told by Mr. Buchanan and Mrs. Shene keep changing.
I know theres a lot of politics, she said. Its a small town and everybodys trying to defend their own. Meanwhile, my son could have gotten hurt and nobody gave a crap.
Her son would like to move on, she said.
He kind of just wants it to be done and over with, she said. He didnt want to have issues.
Mrs. Hillman said she reviewed the tape of the incident with Mr. Buchanan and later with the board in an executive session April 8 after it hired Regina C. Yeo as superintendent, effective July 1. The board took no action that night.
They said they were going to look into it more, Mrs. Hillman said. I had no idea they were meeting a second time.
The board scheduled a special meeting for Saturday, then canceled it, and later set up Wednesdays meeting.
Mrs. Hillman said she is working at hiring a lawyer to obtain a copy of the tape.
In a prepared statement, Mrs. Shene wrote the boards action was ill-advised.
The decision to change administration prior to the end of the school year could disrupt teaching and learning. However, I am confident that I can, in my role as principal, continue Clifton-Fines tradition of successfully preparing our students for the future, she said. I urge all residents to exercise your right to vote on May 21, during the annual budget vote and school board elections for three three-year seats.
Mrs. Shene said Mrs. Durham told audience members at the meeting the board planned to hire an interim superintendent to fill the month-and-a-half-long gap before Mrs. Yeo arrives.
In her statement, Mrs. Shene referenced a Watertown Daily Times story Saturday that detailed the districts turbulent history with many of its superintendents.
Clifton-Fine has a history of instability at the administrative level and addressing this instability needs to be a priority for future board of education members, Mrs. Shene wrote.
At least eight people have picked up petitions to run for the school board seats held by Mrs. Durham, Richard W. Hitchman and Robert P. Tebo III.
Petitions are due Monday.
