For a full bio of Coach Procaccio, including awards won by her and the Villanova student-athletes during her tenure, click here.
During her prolific career, Gina Procaccio has achieved success at the highest levels as both a coach and an athlete herself. She is in her 15th season as head coach of the women's cross country and track & field teams in 2014-15 and previously spent a total of five seasons as an assistant coach with the program.
The list of accomplishments for the Wildcats during Procaccio's tenure is staggering. Since taking over as head coach in the fall of 2000, Procaccio has guided Villanova to two national championships in cross country and a combined seven BIG EAST team titles. In addition she has mentored nine individual national champions, 86 All-Americans and 125 individual BIG EAST champions while also leading the Wildcats to seven Championship of America titles at the Penn Relays. Procaccio is a two-time National Coach of the Year and a seven-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year.
Villanova has enjoyed an incredible run of success over the past several years and the 2013-14 academic year was an especially good one. Procaccio led the Wildcats to the team title at the BIG EAST Championships both indoors and outdoors, marking the first time since 2000 that Villanova swept the two conference meets. From an individual standpoint senior Emily Lipari became the Wildcats latest distance runner to win a national championship under Procaccio's watch. Lipari won the Mile indoors at the NCAA Championships and finished her career as a 10-time All-American. Meanwhile, Nicky Akande was a first team All-American in the 800 meters and Villanova received a total of eight All-America honors at the indoor NCAA meet.
At the outdoor BIG EAST Championships the Wildcats set meet records for highest team score and largest margin of victory in the team standings. Villanova won six events and both the indoor and outdoor meets and extended its all-time league records by winning the indoor title for the 12th time and the outdoor championship for the ninth time. Junior Alexandra Wasik won the pole vault title both indoors and outdoors and the Wildcats also won the 4x800 meter relay at each meet. Villanova has now been the conference champion in the 4x800 relay for five straight years indoors and three consecutive years outdoors. During the indoor conference meet Lipari became the first athlete in conference history to be a three-time champion in the 1000 meters and also the first BIG EAST athlete in 20 years to be a repeat winner of the Most Outstanding Track Performer award.
Lipari enjoyed a remarkable run which saw her rack up a national championship, eight All-America honors and nine BIG EAST titles just in her final two years of competition. During the 2013 cross country season she came in fifth at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America honors for the second straight year. She was also the individual champion at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, where she and Akande finished first and second in a virtual dead heat to lead Villanova to the team title. Lipari wrapped up her stellar career with a fourth place finish and first team All-America honors in the 1500 meters at the 2014 outdoor NCAA Championships.
Over the past three years (2012-14) the Wildcats have made history at the Penn Relays, most recently by sweeping the Championship of America distance relays in 2014. Lipari anchored Villanova to repeat titles in both the distance medley relay and the 4x800 meter relay, while also leading the Wildcats to their first 4x1500 meter relay title since 2000. This marked the first time since 1997 that Villanova swept the three distance relays, while Lipari became the third woman in program history to anchor three winning relays in a single year. She is now the only woman in Wildcats history to have anchored five relay wins in her career, while both Lipari and Akande have racked up six Penn Relays titles in the past three years. Lipari was named the 2014 Women's Athlete of the Meet for the relay events and received the award for the second straight year.
At the 2013 Penn Relays the Wildcats set an all-time collegiate record in the 4x800 meter relay with a winning time of 8:17.45. That performance came just two days after the team repeated as champions of the distance medley relay. Lipari anchored both of those relays and was selected as the Women's Athlete of the Meet for the relay events. Lipari won four All-America honors and five BIG EAST titles during 2012-13 and her first place finish at the conference championships in cross country gave Villanova the individual BIG EAST champion for a fourth consecutive year.
Procaccio has continued the Wildcats legacy as the most successful women's cross country program in NCAA history. She led Villanova to consecutive team titles at the national championships in 2009 and 2010, giving the Wildcats nine all-time team titles and four more than any other team has won. Procaccio also coached Sheila Reid to consecutive individual national titles in 2010 and 2011. Just six women have ever won multiple individual titles in cross country but Reid became the third Villanovan to accomplish the feat. At the BIG EAST level Procaccio led the Wildcats to four straight team titles (2008-11) and has coached six individual conference champions.
During the 2011-12 academic year Reid wrapped up a sensational collegiate career which included five national championships, 12 All-America honors and 13 BIG EAST titles. Reid anchored Villanova to the Championship of America crown in the distance medley relay at the Penn Relays, giving the Wildcats their first Penn Relays crown since 2006. Reid began the 2011-12 campaign by winning the BIG EAST cross country championship for the third straight season and then successfully defended her individual national title. She wrapped up the campaign with an All-American performance in the 5000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and then went on to represent her native Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Reid was already established on the national scene when she broke through in a big way in 2010-11. She became the sixth Villanova runner to win at least one cross country national championship and it marked the seventh time in school history that the Wildcats won both the team and individual titles in cross country. During the 2011 indoor track & field season Reid anchored Villanova to a national championship in the distance medley relay, where she headlined a team that also included Emily Lipari, Ariann Neutts and Christie Verdier. The best performance of the year was yet to come, however, as Reid went on to win national titles outdoors in both the 1500 meters and the 5000 meters. She remains the only woman in history to win championships in each of those events outdoors in the same year. Reid was presented with the prestigious Honda Award for cross country in both 2010 and 2011, while also receiving the 2011 award for track & field. That same year she was chosen as one of three finalists for the Honda-Broderick Cup, which is presented annually to the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.
The run that the Wildcats are currently gained steam during the 2009-10 academic year, when Procaccio led the cross country team to its eighth national title. Villanova surged into the NCAA Championships with team victories at the BIG EAST Championships and the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional before capturing the national title by a wide margin. All five scoring runners for the Wildcats earned All-America honors and it marked the first ever that Villanova placed all five of its scoring runners in the top 30. On the track side, the Wildcats won the team title at the indoor BIG EAST Championships.
In celebration of the 2009 national title Villanova joined more than 30 other team national champions in a reception at the White House. The team was also recognized with a state resolution from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recognizing the success of the national champion cross country and football teams from Villanova during the 2009 season.
Success for Villanova student-athletes has gone far beyond athletic competition during Procaccio's time as head coach. When the cross country team won its national championships in 2009 and 2010 the Wildcats were also named the Scholar Team of the Year by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Sheila Reid was the Cross Country Scholar-Athlete of the Year for cross country in both 2010 and 2011, as well as the Track Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2011.
Other academic awards for Villanova have also been plentiful. Reid was a two-time Capital One Academic All-American during her time at Villanova and was selected as the BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete of the Year in cross country in both 2010 and 2011. Nicole Schappert, who was a three-time All-American and a two-time BIG EAST champion for the Wildcats, was selected as the Villanova Female Senior Student-Athlete of the Year in 2009-10 for the combination for athletic accomplishments and academic success. Reid went on to win the same award a year later.
Perhaps the biggest testament to the Wildcats academic success, however, is not the major awards won but the constant stream of successful student-athletes. In her time as head coach Procaccio has seen her student-athletes be named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team a total of 355 times, while the women's track & field team has consistently received public recognition from the NCAA for ranking in the top 10 percent of its sport in multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores.
It comes as no surprise that Procaccio has returned the Villanova to a program that is perennially in the national spotlight. Procaccio was an NCAA champion and a U.S. national champion during her own racing career. The same passion which allowed her to compete at such a high level also led her into coaching.
Even before the highlights of the past few years Procaccio had already established her Wildcats as a team that consistently made its mark at the national level. During the 2008-09 academic year the cross country team won a BIG EAST championship and Frances Koons was the individual champion at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, as well as the Mid-Atlantic Region Athlete of the Year. Koons was also an All-American in 2009 in the 5000 meters both indoors and outdoors, giving her a total of nine All-America honors during her career.
The 2008 track & field seasons produced one individual BIG EAST title indoors and four more outdoors. Koons was among the four Wildcats who advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships and she went on to reach the semifinals of the 1,500 meters in her first appearance at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
In addition to achieving success at the highest levels of collegiate competition, Procaccio has also seen her student-athletes go on to make their mark internationally. Sheila Reid (Canada) and Marina Muncan (Serbia) each competed at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, marking seven consecutive Summer Olympics dating back to 1988 that the Villanova women's track & field program has been represented by at least one athlete. Procaccio has had terrific success preparing her student-athletes for competition in the USA Track & Field ranks. Most recently, current team member Kelsey Margey won a silver medal for Team USA in the 1500 meters at the 2013 Pan-American Junior Championships. Earlier in the year she has been the champion of the 1500 meters at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Procaccio is a 1987 graduate of Villanova who made her mark on the school's women's track record book despite having only one year of eligibility left after transferring from Florida. In her senior season on the Main Line, Procaccio ran the leadoff leg of the 4x800 meter relay that won an NCAA Championship and set a world, American and collegiate record with a time of 8:24.77.
In addition to being part of a world record team in the 4x800 meter relay, Procaccio also achieved individual success at the 1988 NCAA Championships. She placed fifth at the meet in the 1000 meters to earn individual All-America honors with a time of 2:42.68 which remains the current school record. During the 1988 campaign, Procaccio also was a part of relay teams that set collegiate, American and World records in the distance medley relay (11:00.76).
Following the end of her Villanova career, Procaccio continued to enjoy success as a runner in national and international competition. She participated in three World Championships meets and qualified for the finals of the 5000 meters at the 1995 World Championships, the same year she was the U.S. champion in the event.
Procaccio also qualified for four U.S. Olympic Trials and finished as high as third in the U.S. National Cross Country Championships. During her racing career, she won six individual Penn Relays watches to go with the distance medley relay crown she won while at Villanova. Procaccio had her most successful season in 1995, in which she won her first national title and finished the year ranked first in the nation in the 3000 meters, second in the 5000 meters and fifth in the 1500 meters.
It was then that Procaccio's career was cut short by injury, however, the year before the 1996 Olympics, when she would have had her best chance at becoming an Olympian following a fifth-place finish in the 1500 meters at the 1992 Olympic Trials. Procaccio views the lessons learned from her trials and tribulations of dealing with her setback as powerful coaching tools when it comes to helping her student-athletes achieve their ultimate success.
Procaccio enjoyed a great deal of success during her two stints as a Villanova assistant coach (1994-97, 1998-00) before taking over as head coach June 7, 2000. She was part of a coaching staff that saw the Wildcats win 10 individual national titles from 1994-00, including a national champion in cross country, five indoor national championships and four outdoor national titles. In 1999, Carrie Tollefson became the first woman ever to win outdoor titles in both the 3000 meters and the 5000 meters in the same year at the NCAA Championships. Tollefson also won indoor titles in the 3000 meters in consecutive years (1999-00) and Carmen Douma was an indoor national champion in the Mile in 2000. During Procaccio's first stint as a Wildcats assistant, Jen Rhines was the individual national champion in cross country in 1994, when Villanova won its sixth straight team title. Rhines captured national championships in the 5000 meters both indoors and outdoors in 1995, and repeated as the outdoor champion in 1996. Overall, Procaccio coached 40 All-Americans while serving as a Wildcats assistant coach.
Villanova also furthered its winning tradition at the Penn Relays during Procaccio's years as an assistant coach. The Wildcats swept the Championship of America distance relays (distance medley relay, 4x1500 meter relay, 4x800 meter relay) in both 1995 and 1997, with the 1997 squad also winning the 4x400 meter relay title. Villanova added another championship in the 4x1500 meter relay in 2000.
Prior to joining the Wildcats coaching staff, Procaccio spent one year as a graduate assistant at Tennessee in 1987-88 and one year as an assistant coach at Georgetown in 1990-91.
Procaccio and her husband, Steve Santaniello, make their home in Wayne, Pa.

One of our greatest casualties in the purge of the old forums was losing the TWGOK art thread. Unfortunately, everything more recent than two months old was lost. However, this is a great chance to start anew and I call upon everyone to help restore this thread to its former glory. NakaYasumi, if you're out there, we've never needed you more than we do now.
Let us start off with this old archive circa 8/3/10, nearly two months ago. It was complete on that date. It contains much of the bonus artwork from Wakaki's website, every illustration from the first light novel, and all of the exclusive art from tankobons 1 through 9. It's all meticulously organized into various folders. Enjoy:

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Hundreds of helpers achieved the miracle of Kitzbühel. It had snowed all night, but with combined strength they succeed in preparing a slope on which a race was possible. Due to bad view, the start had to be taken down to the Alte Schneise. Joachim Puchner, who was the 5th racer, spent a long time in the red leader's box; his final 4th place is his best downhill result, "I am very happy about this result, especially at a mega-event like in Kitzbühel. If I hadn't had the trouble with the ski pole, a place on the podium would have been likely." The ATOMIC Young Guns proved their talents on the shortened Streif. US athlete Travis Ganong (23) achieved his best World Cup result, place 12, in his second Kitzbühel performance. Max Franz (13th) was in lead until the second interim time, but then made a mistake at the Hausbergkante, "It's amazing to race in front of an enthusiastic crowd. It was quite a wild ride. I'm looking forward to next time." Hirscher remains overall World Cup leader ATOMIC star Marcel Hirscher passed some slalom training in Oberndorf with Benni Raich and other colleagues and will participate in the slalom on Ganslernhang on Sunday with a overall World Cup lead of 30 points.

The soon-to-be released climate disaster resilience index was developed by experts at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) after mapping five of the city's worst-hit slum pockets. Human and social dimensions, mainly community involvement, contributed most to people's resilience, notching scores of 0.60 and 0.47 on the index of 1.0. Worryingly, the slum settlements scored a poor 0.36 on most other factors owing to the absence of disaster warning systems, poor infrastructure and inaccessibility of areas to rescue services such as fire brigades and ambulances.
As another monsoon approaches, the index underlines the under-preparedness of the city to deal with another 26/7 deluge. The findings are of concern as nearly 70 lakh of the city's 1.2 crore population is estimated to be living in slums.

|Postsecondary InstitutionsCommunity/Technical Colleges
Community and technical colleges support several social and economic missions. The most prominent community college mission is providing open-access pathways for recent high school graduates and adults to pursue postsecondary study. Two-year institutions also support economic and workforce development initiatives, provide general education for students pursuing baccalaureate degrees and award applied associate degrees that produce family-sustaining wages.
Recently, community colleges have received more attention from state and federal policymakers, who view these institutions as increasingly important in achieving college completion goals. The greater demands placed on two-year colleges have magnified the challenges that administrators face.
State lawmakers are beginning to leverage community and technical colleges as laboratories of workforce innovation. Customized employer training adapts current curricula to the skill needs that the private sector demands. In many cases, these programs increase public-private collaboration while also providing institutions with an additional revenue stream for improving programs.
Overall, policymakers have recognized the importance of community and technical colleges both to the completion agenda and to economic viability.

|Library gets "high" and "low"
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Sunday, 08 July 2007 17:59
Ashe County Library is taking steps to promote literacy in a unique way.According to reference librarian Laurie Baumgardner, a high percentage of adults in Ashe are taking literacy classes- but the only things on their level currently at the library are children's books. That's about to change. 35 titles are being purchased with a $500 grant from Friends of the Library. The books, covering a variety of subjects, are alike in one big way.
They are "high and low books," meaning high interest, low-reading level.
Some are romance-themed, others are westerns, she said- and all help adults appreciate literacy.
Baumgardner hopes to add to the collection thanks donations. To contribute or get more information on the books being purchased, call the library at 336-846-2041.

In five short seasons, Chip Kelly has threatened to redefine the 116-year history of football at the University of Oregon.
It started in 2007 in his first year as the Ducks' offensive coordinator and has carried through his third season as the University's head coach. Throughout the duration has been the emergence of a program among the nation's elite behind the architect of one of the most prolific offenses in the country that has transformed the standard of college football.
No other coach in school history has guided the football team to three consecutive undisputed conference championships - a feat surpassed only twice in league history. And although nine coaches have accumulated more league titles than the Manchester, N.H. native, only USC's John Robinson succeeded in doing so as a first-year head coach.
In the process of accumulating a 34-6 ledger in his three seasons at the helm, the two-time conference coach of the year sandwiched a pair of Rose Bowl appearances around the 2011 BCS National Championship Game.
Accentuating the success was last year's 45-38 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin.
In addition to accumulating a mark of 25-2 in league play, his .850 overall winning percentage is the highest in school history and his .926 percentage in conference play is the best in league annals.
Meteoric offenses have become synonymous with Kelly's Oregon coaching tenure as he has led the Ducks to their only two 12-win campaigns in school history (2010 and 2011). His teams have averaged 43.1 points, 489.4 yards of total offense and 273.1 rushing yards per game in the three seasons under his watchful eye, surpassing 40 points in 28 of 40 games. Since becoming associated with the Oregon offense five years ago, his teams have not ranked lower than sixth in the country in rushing, and have placed out of the nation's top-10 in scoring and total offense only once.
The Pac-10 Conference's first unbeaten regular-season champion in five years and a berth in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game rates among the program's historical highlights as Kelly was a near-unanimous national coach-of-the-year recipient in only his second season as a head coach.
Named Oregon's 30th head football coach in March 2009, Kelly has adopted a philosophy that was successful in eight seasons on the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision front (formerly Division I-AA) and has demonstrated few signs of slowing down at the top level of collegiate competition.
In 2009, Kelly proved that his explosive offense had yet to be figured out by opposing defensive coordinators. The Ducks ranked No. 8 in the nation in scoring and sixth in rushing.
A season later, Oregon improved those numbers behind first-year starting quarterback Darron Thomas, leading the country in scoring (47.0 ppg) and total offense (530.7 avg.), while finishing fourth nationally in rushing (286.2 avg.).
Oregon's up-tempo aggression on offense also has carried over to the defensive side of the ball as well.
A year ago, the Ducks ranked fifth in the country in quarterback sacks. In 2010, they ranked seventh nationally in pass efficiency defense, 12th in scoring defense (18.7), 27th in rushing defense (128.1) and 34th in total defense (346.0). In Pac-10 play, the Ducks ranked among the top two in rushing defense and scoring defense each of his first two years, and led the conference in pass efficiency defense in 2010.
Under Kelly's watch, LaMichael James became the school's first Doak Walker Award winner in 2010, awarded to college football's best running back. The nation's two-time rushing leader, who would become Oregon's first unanimous All-American and a Heisman Trophy finalist during his sophomore season, ran for a school-record 1,731 yards that season before returning to eclipse that mark with 1,805 yards last year.
Thirteen Ducks have earned first-team all-conference accolades and two - James in 2009 and De'Anthony Thomas in 2011 - were named the conference's Offensive Freshman of the Year during the Kelly head coaching era.
The former New Hampshire offensive coordinator arrived at Oregon in 2007 and promptly solidified his position in UO lore by producing the highest scoring team and most yards of total offense in school history.
Under his guidance in '08, the Ducks were the Pac-10's best at running the ball (280.1 yards per game) for the third year in a row, scoring (41.9 points per game), and moving the football downfield (484.9 ypg total offense). UO ranked second nationally in rushing and was seventh in the country in two other offensive benchmarks. Three of the league's top 10 rushers wore green and yellow, including a tandem of 1,000-yard runners in Jeremiah Johnson and LeGarrette Blount.
That squad eclipsed 300 rushing yards in eight of 13 games, including one of 400-plus, while Kelly's offenses surpassed 50 points 14 times during his first three years. Included was an attack that produced an Oregon Pac-10 single-game record 694 yards of total offense in the 2008 Civil War victory over Oregon State. UO's 65 points that day against the Beavers were the most ever scored by the Ducks, or allowed by OSU, in a Pac-10 game.
Also during his second year in Eugene, the Ducks established school standards for touchdowns (71) and rushing touchdowns (47) on their way to a No. 9 (USA Today) national ranking. Oregon capped its top-10 run with a 42-31 win over No. 13 Oklahoma State in the Holiday Bowl - UO's second bowl victory in as many years with Kelly at the offensive controls.
Kelly's schemes on offense have been instrumental in highlighting the talents of a pair of Heisman Trophy candidates in quarterback Dennis Dixon in 2007 and running back LaMichael James in 2010.
Among the most impressive aspects of his Oregon success has been the staggering offensive numbers that have been produced by a different cast of headliners. In 2007, it was Dixon, running back Jonathan Stewart, wide receiver Jaison Williams and tight end Ed Dickson. In '08, dual running threats in Johnson and Blount complemented the talents of quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and four receivers who each caught more than 35 passes for 400 yards. In '09, it was Masoli and redshirt freshman LaMichael James who provided the highlights on offense. Two years ago, the return of James was aided by running mate Kenjon Barner, wide receiver Jeff Maehl, as well as a first-year starting quarterback in Darron Thomas. David Paulson and De'Anthony Thomas joined James, Barner and the elder Thomas to provide the spark in 2011.
The program's recent plug-and-play success can be traced to Kelly's first season in Eugene, when Oregon was forced to start four different quarterbacks over the final four games due to injury in 2007. Kelly, then serving in dual roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, tutored the final signal caller of that bunch, redshirt freshman Justin Roper, who turned in a near flawless performance in guiding the Ducks to a 56-21 Sun Bowl win over favored South Florida.
The 48-year-old Kelly served as New Hampshire's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 1999 through 2006, where his offenses averaged better than 400 yards of total offense in seven of his eight seasons and more than 30 points a game in his final four years. As a result, three Wildcat players received first-team All-America acclaim each of his last two seasons in the Granite State.
He was named the College Assistant Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston following the 2005 season in addition to being selected as "one of college football's hottest coaches" by American Football Monthly.
Kelly was elevated to offensive coordinator following two years as the Wildcats' offensive line coach (1997-98) and three seasons coaching the school's running backs (1994-96).
One of Kelly's pupils, quarterback Ricky Santos, was the recipient of the Walter Payton Award (awarded annually to the best offensive player in Division I-AA) in 2006 after finishing second in 2005.
While his acclaim may have resulted from his offensive prowess, Kelly also has three seasons of experience coaching on the defensive side of the football. Included was a one-year stint as defensive coordinator at Johns Hopkins (1993) between tenures at his alma mater.
The 1990 New Hampshire graduate (B.S. degree in physical education) broke into the coaching ranks that same year at Columbia University, where he served as freshman secondary and special teams coach. He assumed responsibility for the Lions' varsity outside linebackers and strong safeties the following year before returning to New Hampshire as running backs coach in 1992.

Wellington fire fighters pour water on the smoking remains of a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo that swerved off Old Wellington Road near Cemetery Road Wednesday afternoon. The driver, 46-year-old Emmett Adair of Wellington, was alone in the car. He was able to escape without serious injury before the car was completely engulfed in fire and destroyed.
Lt. Tory Christiansen of the Carbon County Sheriff's Department said that Adair was arrested and booked for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Environmental Permit - Notification of Change to Prescribed Process
What is an Environmental Permit
The City Council is responsible for the regulation of certain industrial processes that have the potential to cause air pollution. We currently regulate approximately 260 processes across the city ranging from petrol service stations, vehicle refinishers, foundries, manufacturers of timber and rubber products through to car manufacturing plants. Officers in the Pollution Control Team work closely with industry to help improve environmental performance and to ensure compliance with the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2010.
Who needs a Permit
If you are in control of, operate or propose operating any premises identified in the above regulations then you must apply for and obtain a permit from the city council.

PROVIDENCE – Cumberland Rep. Karen MacBeth (D-Dist. 52, Cumberland), a member of the House Government Oversight Committee that is currently investigating the 38 Studios debacle, says she wants the panel to issue subpoenas to learn how the Economic Development Corporation's (EDC) loan guarantee program went so wrong.
"We can follow the money a lot more closely than we are able to with the documents we have," MacBeth told The Times Friday. "Who was on the payroll? People made lots of money on this business, I believe, fully knowing that it wasn't going to make it.
"That is the information I want to find out," she said. "Who made the money and who knew about it? Lots of people made money on it and the taxpayers are the ones on the hook."
"Instead of asking a staff member from the Statehouse what their thoughts are on something, we can certainly get members of the EDC and the former governor (Donald Carcieri, who initiated the 38 Studios deal) to answer questions. And if they choose not to answer those questions, then we have that on the record."
MacBeth said she plans to make a motion to issue subpoenas at the committee's next meeting, which is yet to be scheduled. She said she is confident her motion will get a second, and therefore will come to a vote, but she is unsure what the outcome of the vote will be.
The committee chairman, Rep. Michael Marcello of Scituate, said in a telephone interview Friday that the idea of issuing subpoenas is "way premature" and "a waste of time" because it would likely result in the panel receiving the same "thousands of pages" of documents it has already obtained from the EDC.
"It is pretty easy to tell when there are missing documents," Marcello said. "There is no basis in fact to suggest that they haven't given us all the documents" that the committee has asked for.
To the extent there is a problem, Marcello said, it is that "the real story is that there is a lack of documents, which tells you there is a lack of oversight. Even a subpoena can't produce a document that doesn't exist."
There are two types of subpoenas, Marcello explained: a records subpoena, which demands the production of documents, and a witness subpoena, which compels a person to testify before the committee.
"I haven't even asked, without a subpoena, for anyone to come before the committee," the chairman said. "I intend to do so once I'm convinced that our review of the records is thorough and we have a basis to ask these individuals questions. I'd prefer to ask for a voluntary appearance before the committee and give them an opportunity to come and if they refuse to come or don't want to come, then I think we have to seriously look at the issue of a witness subpoena.
"Just because you the authority to do it (subpoena witnesses) doesn't mean you have to use it. There are other ways to get people before the committee. I fully expect that some people, maybe not all, when I ask voluntarily that they will appear. It's just a common courtesy. Why force a subpoena on an individual when it may not be needed, when they are willing to appear voluntarily?"
Even if the committee votes to issue subpoenas, the request would have to be approved by House Speaker Gordon Fox. Asked whether Fox would give his approval, Fox spokesman Larry Berman used the same word Marcello did in reference to subpoenas: "Speaker Fox believes it is premature to be talking about subpoenas because the House Oversight Committee is still in the process of reviewing the thousands of pages of documents supplied by the EDC," he said in an e-mail. "Chairman Marcello and the committee members need to have the opportunity to read the material and discuss it before they seek additional tools. He would like to see the ongoing investigations, including a civil suit, take their course."
The watchdog group RI Taxpayers backed MacBeth's call for subpoenas.
"Rep MacBeth is absolutely correct that the committee needs this power," RI Taxpayers' President Larry Girouard said in a written statement. "Already, the committee has limited the scope of its hearing to documents only and has called no witnesses so far. Why does the chairman wish to further narrow the information reviewed by the committee? Rhode Islanders have the right to answers about the 38 Studios loan fiasco."
Noting that Fox must sign off on a committee's request for subpoena power, Girouard said, "Speaker Fox's repeated claim that he did not know that 38 Studios would receive a $75 million taxpayer-backed loan guarantee has strained credulity. Additionally, a friend of Speaker Fox, Attorney Michael Corso, represented 38 Studios and stood to also receive substantial fees from the state tax credits that he attempted to obtain for 38 Studios."
"Rhode Islanders are paying the price for our state officials' disastrous handling of the 38 Studios loan guarantee," Girouard asserted. "So they absolutely have the right to learn the truth in this matter. Is the chairman attempting to run interference for those state officials by limiting the scope of the hearing?"

Over at Daveart, there are pictures of the mask's created for Lundqvist and Steve Valiquette.
…These are very cool. Very cool and historical design on them.
…Lundqvist's has one side being a replica of former goalie John Davidson's (JD!) mask. With the other side being what is at right.
Valley's mask bears a resemblance to Mike Richters.
Richter still has my favorite goalie mask ever.

Product Details
Q128 Clip (8000728) by Yakima®. Clips give your Q Tower a secure, glove-like, snug as a bugish, peas in a podesque, custom fit to your doorframe.
- Sold in pairs
- Designed specifically for your vehicle and essential to mounting Q Towers on your vehicle's roof
- Cannot be used with the tube top adapter
- Cannot be used on RV's, motor homes or trailers
Most modern vehicles have smooth, "naked" roof lines for aerodynamic styling that is attractive and creates less drag for improved fuel economy. However, these featureless roofs create a problem when trying to mount a roof rack system. Yakima roof rack systems allow you to transport cargo on top of your vehicle that would otherwise take up a lot of room in the cabin. And with your gear stowed on top, there's room for friends or more gear inside your vehicle. To allow a roof rack to be installed on such vehicles, Yakima designed the Q Tower crossbar supports. These towers rest on the roof on pads that won't harm your vehicle's finish, and they're firmly attached to the door frames with custom, vehicle specific Q Clips.
But the secret to the Q Tower's fit is the 4-way movement of the die-cast metal ball and socket mechanism that attaches to the Q Clip. The Q in Q Tower stands for quadruple, and it's this 4-way, quadruple movement that enables the Q Tower to fit virtually any vehicle roof contour. You can be assured that Q Towers will fit perfectly and securely on your vehicle, with a quick and simple installation process. Constructed with a powder coated steel superstructure and glass reinforced nylon shell, Q Towers are designed to support Yakima round crossbars (not included). Q Towers can be locked to prevent theft with the purchase of optional SKS lock cores and keys.43.00Brand: Yakima Part Number: 8000728 UPC: 736745007287
Yakima® Products, of Beaverton, Oregon is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cargo and recreational equipment carrying solutions. Founded 40 years ago in its namesake city, Yakima's guiding principle is that gear should be carried on the outside of the vehicle to make room for more friends inside. To achieve that goal the company makes roof rack systems for any style roof, and an array of roof rack, receiver hitch, trunk lid and hatch, and trailer mounted carriers. Yakima's designers and engineers are outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travelers just like you, and they listen and learn what other enthusiasts need and want while participating in those activities. The combination of their own personal experience with that of other enthusiasts enables them to create the finest carriers and accessories for bicycles, watercraft, skis & snowboards, and cargo & camping. Yakima products are manufactured using the highest quality materials and the best engineering practices, and Yakima is so confident that you'll be completely satisfied with your purchase that they're backed by a "Love It Till You Leave It" lifetime warranty.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Like you, I have a guilty pleasure: blaming the media.
Last week, I slammed the Wall Street media for its failure to reform itself after the financial crisis. As you can imagine, the reaction to the piece was overwhelmingly positive. Most readers heartily agreed the financial press needed to be more responsible. Read about Wall Street's "Blizzard of Garbage."
But what about you as a news consumer?
It could be you're blaming the messenger just a little too much.
My colleague at Dow Jones, Al Lewis, passed along this nugget: A Gallup poll released Monday found that journalists are considered less honest and ethical than many other professionals including college teachers, psychiatrists and chiropractors.
That's OK with me. I'd probably agree. But get this, Gallup also found that journalists rank just below bankers for honesty and ethics. Thirty percent of respondents had a low or very low opinion of journalists' honesty and ethics compared to 28% for bankers. Only 24% had a favorable view for journalists, compared to 28% for bankers. See Gallup study.
OK. First, I don't care about which profession finished slightly ahead or behind statistically. The bottom line is that journalists aren't viewed as much better or worse than bankers. To me, that's the takeaway. We're equally slimy in your eyes.
I know an insult when I see one.
Second, the list also includes stockbrokers. They finished closer to the bottom of the list, near HMO managers and advertisers.
Third, I recognize that the media, especially on Wall Street, can be irresponsible. We deserve the skepticism.
SEC chief delayed rule over legacy concerns
SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro delayed a rule potentially affecting hundreds of billions of dollars of private offerings by companies in part because of concerns about her personal legacy. Jean Eaglesham has details on Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.
But if you, the reader, really do think journalists are as bad as bankers, you're not looking at the facts. For all of the stupid mistakes journalists make: the sensationalism, the pandering, the inaccuracy, the bias (real or imagined), the bad ideas and poor advice — for all that — at least our only interest is in drawing your attention to ourselves and our work.
It may come as a surprise to some of you, but just a tiny minority of us — maybe a TV star or two — is getting rich doing this.
Many bankers, by contrast, are all about getting rich. They nickel and dime you with finance charges and fees. They have sold you mortgages you can't afford and allowed hedge funds to bet on their failure. Then, they "robo-signed" your foreclosure to get you out of your home faster.
Bankers took $1.3 trillion in taxpayer bailout funds and guarantees and foreclosed on 13.5 million homeowners. They've given better rates and offerings to whites than minorities. See how banks treat white customers better than minorities.

DanaHairLight BrownCurly HairWorks Great, Smells Even BetterFirst off, I have naturally wavy/curly hair that tends to be flat in some places and wildly fluffy in others. This spray defines my curls and brings texture to the flatter parts, making them curly/wavy. It also cuts down on frizz. I spray it on dry hair and run my fingers through to separate the curls. I'm not sure how it would work on naturally straight hair, but it is very lightweight so it wouldn't look heavy or greasy. This stuff also smells awesome, I would say a little fruity/beachy. Other than the high price, I have nothing bad to say about this stuff! Get it on sale and you will not be sorry!

MelCambridge, MAHairNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairSo-soI like the smell of this product, but it doesn't create as consistent of a curl/wave as I was hoping. My hair is partially wavy, so I need some help in the non-wavy sections, so I purchased this hoping it would help. Unfortunately, it didn't really do too much. I think it's probably great if you have wavy hair all over, but doesn't do anything for those with inconsistent waves. If you have the same issue, I find Aveda's Be Curly to be a better bet.

The update presented here shows improved PFS with the addition of the bcl-2 antisense compound, G3139, to DTIC in patients with advanced MM. Importantly, a subset of patients, namely those with normal LDH, were found to have improved OS with the addition of G3139. It is important to note that this subset analysis is valid, given the fact that the patients were stratified for LDH level prior to randomization. The benefit of G3139 was seen at multiple timepoints, including 12 and 18 months. Further follow-up is needed to see if this difference holds up. It is reasonable to consider the addition of G3139 to DTIC in patients with MM with normal LDH levels. Given these results, further studies will likely focus on the use of G3139 in melanoma patients with earlier stage disease. Although these results are promising, the overall outcome of these patients remains poor, and research into alternative combinations including G3139 are needed.

"Diamonds" is the first single from Rihanna's upcoming album "Unapologetic." The music video just dropped, and some believe it's a nod to her tumultuous relationship with on/off ex, Chris Brown.
The music video opens with the Barbadian beauty rolling papers filled with diamonds, and plays with notions of finding light and escaping darkness throughout. There are shots that reference her relationship with Chris: her hands reach out to a man with a tattoo sleeve like Brown's, and she is seen running at night with car headlights behind her -- a recreation of their now-infamous night, perhaps?
The video ends with Rihanna floating in a water completely serene. Could it be interpreted she's found peace? And with whom? Herself? Chris?
Our guess is as good as yours. Check out "Diamonds" above and tell us what you think its message is below!

Welcome to the Amtrak Customer Advisory Committee (ACAC), a volunteer organization that represents the needs and concerns of the traveling public to Amtrak management.
Established in 1997, the committee's purpose is to:
Whether the issue is safety, service or travel for passengers with disabilities, the ACAC is structured to give immediate, informed feedback from the customer's perspective to management.
The ACAC comprises a group of 25 volunteers that represent the diversity of Amtrak customers from every corner of the United States. The committee acts as a customer service and product focus group meeting several times a year with Amtrak senior management to ensure that the voice of the customer is heard.
Amtrak Customer Advisory Committee members are among the most active of the railroad's passengers. Members are frequent Amtrak riders who commute daily between major cities on Amtrak and/or travel across country several times a year. During each trip, members gather input from passengers about their experiences with Amtrak. In addition, each member serves on regional service committees that focus on specific issues or markets.
Because the work of the Advisory Committee is just that, advisory, the work of the group is accomplished in close collaboration with Amtrak management.
Notable accomplishments resulting from the partnership between ACAC members and Amtrak include: The Quiet Car; The Customer Service Employee Recognition Award; audio, video and live presentations to enhance employee customer service and sensitivity training; daily internal Customer Service Tips of the Day; Accessible station recommendations; Food and Beverage Options; Late Train and Bus Substitution Protocol; and recycling initiatives.
ACAC members participate in community outreach activities including Train Day, State Fairs, Great American Station Conferences, Student Fairs and AARP Conventions.
Current projects support the Amtrak goals of Safer, Greener, Healthier and a more connected transportation system.
Amtrak customers who wish to submit an employee or service commendation or request a refund may call 1-800-USA-RAIL and ask to speak with the Customer Relations department.

Papel Amate, or Bark Paper, is a form of traditional Mexican paper with pre-Hispanic origins. Traditional bark paper was considered a specialty of the village Shaman and was used for special rituals. The Nahua and Otomi tribes eventually began using bark paper as a canvas for traditional paintings. Typically, the Otomi of Puebla painstakingly craft the paper out of fig or mulberry tree bark, then sell it to the Nahua of Guerrero for painting. These bark paintings, known as Papel Amate, are an art form unique to the indigenous tribes of Mexico, yet will add depth and culture to almost any home decor.

MASSENA - The villages Board of Trustees has at last settled on a plan to fund a water improvement project near Highland Road.
At its meeting Tuesday, Trustee Timothy Ahlfeld introduced a motion that would split the costs of a nearly half million dollar water improvement project between village ratepayers and the residents in the Highland Road area. The motion passed by a 3-2 vote, with trustees Francis J. Carvel and Albert C. Herb Deshaies voting against it.
Weve been trying to come up the best fix for an issue thats been plaguing the village for years, Mayor James F. Hidy said. Theres compromise in this plan, and we feel its the best win-win for the village (and the ratepayers near Highland Road).
Under the plan, village homeowners will be billed $15.50 per year for a five-year period, while the homeowners who utilize that system will be billed $109.13 for the replacement of pipes in that area. In addition, there will be a permanent maintenance fee which will cost village residents $1.64 per month and residents in the Highland Road $11.30 per month.
The plan was the work of Mr. Ahlfeld and Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad. They prepared a zero to 100 percent chart for the villages contribution to the repairs. At 100 percent village cost, the homeowners near Highland Road would be charged the same amount as homeowners within the village limits. At zero percent, the costs fell entirely on those homeowners near Highland Road.
In December, the village board considered this latter option, though over a 10-year period, which would have totaled more than $5,000 per household.
Ratepayers along that pipe on Old Orchard and Leslie roads are billed a monthly village water bill, but their homes lie nearly a mile outside the village limits. A half-century old agreement brought village water to that section of the town.
It is infrastructure outside the village. We do have a responsibility to the people inside the village, Trustee Patricia K. Trish Wilson said. I think this is an equitable way to (fund the maintenance costs).
Mr. Ahlfeld noted the five-year payment plan, as opposed to the 10-year plan, will save on the cost of interest.
Mr. Carvel and Mr. Deshaies both expressed a dissatisfaction with the amount the plan charged the homeowners near Highland Roa, in arguing their case against the plan.
The village took over ownership of those lines. The village has responsibility (to fund maintenance), Mr. Carvel said.
He stressed he felt the new maintenance fee was unnecessary. Why are we adding another maintenance fee? he asked, suggesting the new revenue would simply be dumped into the water fund. Its for forever. Everybody already pays a maintenance fee.
But Mr. Ahlfeld countered the maintenance fee made good sense. The town expressed concern the 10-inch line i going to fail. Were hedging our bet, he suggested.
Residents near the pipes dead-end began experiencing rusty water a couple of years ago. The water was still drinkable but looked bad and was problematic for laundry. In the meantime, the Department of Public Works has allowed the end of the pipe to leak to prevent the homeowners from receiving rusty water. Mr. Fayad has estimated the pipe could be losing over 200,000 gallons a month.
Theres the loss of revenue, the risk of (the pipes) icing up, and weve had complaints from (one property owner) that theres water ponding up in his property, Mr. Fayad said.
Mr. Fayad had set aside $100,000 in his 2012-13 budget to repair the line, a cost which would have fallen to all village ratepayers. But village board members told him after budget workshops earlier this year to come up with other options to pay for it.
Replacing that line and looping it another 2,300 feet to eliminate the dead-end would cost $475,000, or $350 per year per household. The previously proposed resolution would have put both these costs and a $155 maintenance fee on those ratepayers, totalling $505 per year per household for a 10-year period.
That proposal was panned by town officials and ratepayers in that area who attended the village board meeting last month when the proposal was discussed and later tabled. Many feel that because the village has sold water to those ratepayers for more than 50 years, it is obligated to foot the bill.
We have been paying for any (pipe maintenance) along any street in the village of Massena through our water rates, Elizabeth Kaneb, administrator for the Highland Nursing Home, said at that meeting. If you want to form a water district youre going to have to figure out how much weve paid, then allocate appropriately.
Mr. Fayad said homeowners near Highland Road were billed a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) on water from the 1960s until 1998, when Alcoa began to utilize those village water pipes. The revenue from those PILOT bills went toward the village water fund, which included pipe maintenance and lowering water rates for homeowners. Since 1998, the homeowners near Highland Road have been billed a PILOT for sewer pipes, but not for water, Mr. Fayad said.
Ms. Kaneb argued that when the PILOT was discontinued, their water rates increased to cover the costs.
You cant say to me the village eliminated our maintenance fees when they increased our water rates, she said. They increased our water rates in 1997 to cover the costs of what I would have been paying with the PILOT.
Mr. Fayad denied that the water rates were raised after the PILOT was discontinued, and the two have often cited different years in which the PILOT was discontinued.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray was a vocal critic of the previous plan and of any proposal that would have put the maintenance costs on town residents, as Highland Road homeowners have been paying into the towns water district.
I think we need to start at square one and get the pipes fixed and not let the burden fall on town residents. I dont think (that would be) fair, Mr. Gray said previously.
Mr. Gray called the plan an improvement over the previous proposal, saying he was glad the village was acknowledging a responsiblity to spread those maintenance costs over other users on the system. But he said he would prefer a plan that charges the Highland Road homeowners the same as those within the village.

Include what you will be wearing so we can get the full skin-out view. What are your socks made of? What is the length of your trip? I am sure you know this but a scale will be very useful for you. What is your goal? Are you wanting the lightest possible gear? And is cost a factor? Are the Santa Cruz Mountains the ones in California, between San Fransisco and San Jose? Has the weather there been abnormally wet like in the North West? Sorry for all the questions and no advice. I am sure the advice will come :)

Yes, they are the mountains south of San Francisco by San Jose. It does rain quite a bit, not too windy though. Weekend length trip. I want a light pack, but I don't have a ton of money to spend on gear. I will wear a tank top undershirt with a button-up polyester shirt over it, short sleeved. I will wear some sort of light shorts. I don't have socks that I like yet, I will be wearing running shoes. I will also be wearing a wide brimmed hat for sun/rain. Thanks
I lived in Gilroy ( south of San Jose ) about 7 years ago when the effects of El Niño were particularly bad. Houses were sliding down the hills. I am personally very fond of wool, it is very adaptable and is quite odor resistant compared to other fabrics. I use the ultralight cycling socks from Smartwool. They weight 1.4 oz in size large. I take 2 pair. One to hike in, the other to sleep in. On longer trips I will alternate my socks every other night, washing the ones I hiked in. For sleeping in colder weather the Possum Down socks are sure tempting, though I haven't used them. Smartwool also makes heavier socks that I wear in the winter here in Colorado. May I recomend a wool Zip-T instead of the tank top undershirt and polyester shirt? It might even save you from having to bring a Thermal top if your insulation is good enough. I am not familiar with the Mec jacket. It was many years ago but, I used a 3 mil clear plastic tarp on an 8 day trip in the Uintas in Utah. It worked, but condensation, noise, and privacy can be a problem. I noticed on your list a pot, cup and bowl. I use a 28 fluid oz titanium pot (3 oz) for all three if it is just me and I am cooking. If there are others I also bring an Orikaso bowl (1.1 oz) or just the Orikaso bowl if I am not cooking. The Orikaso bowl is amazing. Its a bowl, a cup, a plate, and you can lick it clean. Is your quilt the No Snivler? I just got 1 for Christmas and won one in a drawing (thanks Jack and Jack!) and can't wait to try them. My No Snivler Long weights 22 oz. Let me know how yours works. It is not a must, but a bivy would be great under a tarp with a quilt. Some sort of soap or hand sanitizer is good, especially if you are cooking. I didn't see toilette paper or wet wipes. I like to carry a backup Photon light. I have been lurking here for months. I hope you don't mind my coming out, as it were, with your post.

The only thing I would add to the above, is using the smartwool mid-weight shirt and leggings instead of the fleece/other layers. These should offer much better thermalregulation to weight ratio and last for many years. The only hitch is that the pair could put you in the $150 range.
I just notice one more thing. I now use Aqua Mira for water treatment.
I really like all the merino going around, but it is still a little too expensive for me. Thanks a lot for the sock advice. Thin socks are better then thick ones I infer?Hand Sanitizer and Tp are a must. I do have the No-Sniveller, and I too recieved it for Christmas. I have used it in my backyard in the rain under a tarp. I was very comfortable in underwear on this 40 degree night. I also use it as a quilt on my bed; it's great for that. Bivy sacks seem like a great option. I looked at the one from titanium goat. Any experiences with it, or comments on the double top version? With a bivy I could leave my groudsheet behind, and I would be a little warmer.What about those Thermolite bivys, or something similar?
Edited by noshroud on 01/28/2006 12:39:00 MST.
Countryman where are you going hiking at? Big Basin, Castle Rock? Your gear looks good. Considering that weather is quite predictable in this mountain range (I'm a San Jose native) I don't think weather will be a concern, just watch the weather report. I'd loose the bug net for the head, there are relatively no bugs during this time of the year. I would just carry one pair of socks to hike in, and one to sleep in. Other than that, looks good. Expect a trip report from this too!
oh and bivies, if you're looking for a bivy without spending too much cash, either look at Equinox or Titanium Goat. Both are quite well built and in-expensive. Oh and Light!
I actually meant to remove the bug net on that last edit. I plan on going to big basin for a couple nights.
On the cost of wool. It does cost more up front. I have found that it lasts longer and is more functional than other choices which makes it worth it for me. I wear Smartwool socks and Ibex wool briefs every day, and have done so for more than a year now, and they are still going strong. Did I say I was fond of wool :)I like the thin socks because they are easier to clean and dry, and of course they weigh less. You have to balance that with keeping your feet warm. When I ski, I wear Smartwool ski socks that are a little thicker and go up to my knees. For three season use the wool cycling socks are best for me. Thin also works for me because I don't need the padding that thicker socks provide. This may be a personal thing. My experience with bivys is limited. I have an Equinox bivy (6.5 oz) that I use in a tent or hammock mainly to keep my pad under me, and the drafts out. I have not used one with a tarp. When I mentioned it in my post above it was based on all I have read in these forums. Also based on reading and not experience, I will say that with the Thermolite, condensation might be a problem. Hopefully someone with more experience will post on this.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Click and Clack will sound scratchy for another month or two, as will Doug Fabrizio, Carl Kasell, Peter Sagal and the rest of the KUER/NPR voices heard in Price.
The problem local listeners have noticed in their reception of the University of Utah station is being caused by another higher education station, KCEU at USU-CEU in Price. As reported earlier in the Sun Advocate, KCEU has become 20,000 times stronger, jumping all the way from 1/40 of a watt to 500 watts of broadcast power.
At 89.7 on the FM spectrum, it's right next door to KUER's translated frequency of 89.5. That's close enough to cause interference in the Price area.
As it turns out, KUER is the station that will have to relocate to another spot on the dial. KUER staff engineer Lewis Downey explained that KUER comes to Carbon County by way of a low-power translator at Ford Ridge. That makes it a secondary service according to Federal Communications Commission rules.
KCEU, on the other hand, is a primary server and has the right to stay put.
Downey explained that switching frequencies will take some time. First, the station has to hire a consultant to search for available frequencies. When that's done, it will be a matter of getting permission from the FCC to make the move. Then comes the technical process of physically changing the frequency at Ford Ridge.
"We'll probably use snow machines to get up there," Downey said, adding that this is something his station wants to get done quickly.

Chantel Hall, Shayla Winder, and Chantelle Mott enjoy lunch outside the CEU student center earlier this semester. Students come to CEU from all over the country and even from foreign lands.
In a spot of good news that has eluded the College of Eastern Utah (CEU) in the last couple of years, the school's student enrollment for the fall 2009 semester increased 91 students over last year's third week report.
More importantly, the Full Time Equivalents (FTE) increased 174 over last year, which is an increase of over 12.9 percent.
This figure is important because funding decisions in higher education are often determined by FTE rather than head count. The FTE is calculated by dividing the total number of credit hours taken at a college by 15, which is an average class load for an undergraduate student.
Other positive news from the enrollment picture for CEU is the reported enrollment includes only budget related and self support figures. About one third of CEU's enrollment comes from its workforce education division and is not included in this report. These students are enrolled in classes, which were formerly part of the Southeast Utah College of Applied Technology that merged with CEU in 2007.
Last fall, workforce education students totaled over 800 for the fall semester and will be included in the end-of-term count. End of term is the official enrollment report.
Also not included in the third week report are a number of distance delivered and concurrent enrollment classes, which were not available until after the third week deadline for the report.
This second year of significant student growth comes on top of an unexpected 17 percent budget cut coming from the 2009 legislative session. Last year CEU was directed to cut $3.2 million from its budget. One-time federal stimulus funds were given to fill approximately half of the mandated cut. Without the stimulus money this year the remaining $1.5 million will have to be eliminated from the budget.
"We are excited to see the significant growth in our student population," said interim college president Mike King. "This year that excitement is tempered by the reality of budget cuts that will result in the loss of jobs and programs at CEU. The fat is long gone, along with some of the muscle. Future cuts will be from the bone."
Enrollments are increasing rapidly throughout the Utah system of higher education. Bill Sederburg, commissioner of higher education for the system noted that not only are there more students on campuses, but they are taking larger course loads.
"We hope that these figures drive home the critical point to state leaders that higher education is the lifeblood to our state," said Sederburg. "Our campuses provide a valuable opportunity for those impacted by today's tough economic climate, highlighting the critical role higher education plays in the economy of our state."
The College of Eastern Utah's service region includes three counties in southeast Utah. This region of the state traditionally has higher than average unemployment rates, but unlike most of the state, the three county area has actually bucked the state and national trends this past year. From July of 2008 to July of 2009 the three counties added over 500 non-farm jobs, which increased non-farm employment by just over 3 percent.
Utah's unemployment figures for the period of July 2008 to July of 2009 increased by 4.2 percent. Usually, growth in unemployment and college enrollment is highly correlated. The College of Eastern Utah seems to be the exception this year.

The story of the Quahog Republic started with a chance meeting of native Cape Codder Erik Bevans and wash-ashore Tom Hughes, as they dug for quahogs in Popponesset Bay. Noticing the wash-ashore's full basket, Erik began chatting with Tom. Though impressed by his quahog-digging abilities, Erik couldn't help but cringe every time Tom said the word "Quahog." He sure could dig them, but he certainly couldn't pronounce them correctly.
What started as one kid impressed by another's full basket of quahogs turned into a lasting friendship—two great friends growing up fishing, quahogging, boating and swimming together on the beaches and waters off Cape Cod and learning to live, give and relax in their everyday lives.
Their friendship has evolved from two kids living the Cape Cod dream to what has now become the Quahog Republic.
Close your eyes and remember when YOU lived the Cape Cod dream. When you escaped for even an instant. Let the Quahog Republic bring you back to that special place. Let the Quahog Republic remind you how to "Live, Give and RELAX."

PROVIDENCE – Dan Hurley spent time under the same roof as one of his former high school players Thursday night. In his private moments, the URI head coach was probably thrilled that Sidiki Johnson was sitting on Providence's bench wearing a sharp black suit rather than basketball attire.
The connection between Hurley and Johnson dates back the 2009-10 season at St. Benedict's Prep. At the time, Johnson was a junior and had already announced his intentions to play college ball at Arizona, while Hurley was on the verge of capping what was a successful nine-year run at the Newark, N.J. school. Hurley left for Wagner (N.Y.) University in the spring of 2010, a move that coincided with another domino falling – that of Johnson leaving to finish high school elsewhere.
Ultimately, the Harlem, N.Y. native moved on to Oak Hill (Va.) Academy and New York's Wadleigh High School before continuing the next phase of his hoops journey out west.
"If I had stayed at St. Benedict's for his senior year, he would have stayed," Hurley feels. "I think me going to Wagner set the stage to not have that stability and I think another year at St. Benedict's – in the school and with our program – would have served him well."
Recalling his dealings with Hurley, Johnson mentioned that the coach spoke to him more about off-the-court matters than about actual basketball.
"(Coach Hurley) made me mentally strong. He told me that a lot of the game is mental and to always be tough and strong," Johnson offered.
Hurley was arguably the only person on hand at the Dunkin' Donuts Center who could vividly recall seeing Johnson get after it in a competitive environment. The first opportunity for PC fans to see what Hurley already knows about the 6-foot-10, 240-pound Johnson will come Dec. 18 against Colgate.
"Real rugged rebounder and an aggressive guy around the basket. He really played hard," was how Hurley remembered Johnson at St. Benedict's. "He was a highly touted top 50 kid with Arizona and Texas after him hard."
As Hurley settled into his new post at Wagner, Johnson breezed in and out of Arizona. The latter left the Pac-12 school with four games, nine minutes and two missed field goal attempts on his résumé, one that would eventually include Ed Cooley and the Friars under the section "basketball experience."
"Everything was good. I just wanted to get closer to home and to a place where my family members could come to games," said Johnson when asked for his interpretation regarding how he felt everything played out at Arizona. "Everything has been a process, but it's all going well. I just can't wait to play basketball."
Upon officially relocating to PC last January, Cooley opted to keep Johnson on ice from a practice standpoint. Here was a young man who dating back to the beginning of the 2009 season had been in the hallways of three high schools and now two colleges. From Cooley's vantage point, Johnson needed a chance to catch his breath and get acclimated to his new surroundings without the pressures of basketball hovering over him.
"When you look at guys who transfer, you do your homework," says Cooley. "Some kids chose a school because of the name or tradition and maybe not understand how that particular school could change their life."
Continuing, Cooley remarked that Johnson "has come a long way."
Asked to compare his high school mentor Hurley to his current college coach, Johnson smiled before saying, "Both are real tough on you, making sure you're staying on top of your game and classroom stuff. Sometimes you need that."
PC officials clung to the hope that Johnson would have been cleared by the NCAA prior to the conclusion of the first semester, but such a scenario never came to fruition. At a recent practice at Alumni Hall, Johnson was grouped with the Friars' first string – a telltale sign that Cooley is going to waste little time in throwing his newest big man into the fray.
From afar, Hurley will no doubt be following with interest.
"I think Ed will be really good for him," said Hurley. "If Ed can't bring him the stability that he needs, then I'm not sure who can."

ATLASerials Oxford campus users only; ATLA Religion Database available to all users.
A comprehensive reference database designed to support religious and theological scholarship. It contains more than one million citations from 1,400+ international journal titles and 14,000 multi-author works and book reviews related to religious studies. The database also includes full-text access to more than 238,000 articles, book reviews and essays from major religion and theology journals.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.
