There are seven new players on the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business team and they are all starters.
These professors have all had experience teaching and have earned top marks from their students. They have been published in national journals and their research has been quoted by other scholars.
Three of these professors were hired to strengthen our entrepreneurial focus. One professor will join our Department of Economics and another will become part of the School of Accountancy. The other two professors will be heading to the Department of Management Information Systems.
They each bring some remarkable strengths to the table and all have expressed strong support for the direction the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is going. Dean Douglas D. Anderson said they will play a key role in the progress of the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business .
"Much of our future is riding on their shoulders," he said.
Jon M. Huntsman School of Business students will soon be offered a chance to sit on a board of directors.
They won't really have any corporate control, however. They will just need to test their ability to learn and teach each other if they take a class from Chris Skousen, a new professor joining the School of Accountancy.
Dr. Skousen said that he asks his students to act is if they are on the board of directors of a company and says it is their job to ask questions if they don't understand something. The approach must work. For the three years Skousen was at the University of Texas at Arlington he was among the top-rated teachers at the school. The first year he was eligible for the award, he was named teacher of the year. The university has a policy that the same teacher can't be named teacher of the year two years in a row or he might have taken the top honor again.
Skousen will bring more than just teaching skills to the university. At a time when the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is emphasizing the importance of ethical leadership, Skousen's area of research will come in handy. He has studied executive decision making, focusing on the attributes certain kinds of leaders bring to the job and how those attributes affect the kinds of decisions they make.
Carrie Belsito
It doesn't sound like Carrie Belsito will have a lot of trouble adjusting to life at USU.
She said that she went into her job interviews here with the usual sense of trepidation that accompanies such experiences but left with a different feeling.
"When I left that interview," she said. "I had the warmest, most positive, comfortable feeling. I really enjoyed the people I met there."
It's likely the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is feeling the same way about her. She comes to USU with teaching experience at Texas A&M where, at press time, she was working on her Ph.D. in management. She's pent time investigating the role human resources executives play in an organization, based on the kind of discretion they exercise. Her work has also led her to consider how an entire organization can become stigmatized and gain an unwanted reputation because of unethical decisions made by its leaders.
It's all work that fits in well with the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business emphasis on ethical leadership. It's no wonder Belsito feels like she's found the right place to work.
It doesn't take much imagination to figure out why the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business has hired Christopher Reutzel.
He said he's been studying the impact certain strategies can have on leaders and their career paths. Dr. Reutzel is particularly interested in understanding these dynamics within entrepreneurial settings.
With the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business putting increased emphasis on ethical leadership and entrepreneurship, the fit seems obvious.
Dr. Reutzel also comes to USU with a passion for teaching and impressive credentials. He earned the dean's award for outstanding teaching by a doctoral student at Texas A&M University. He graduated magna cum laude from Southern Utah University with a double major in finance and accounting. He was the recipient of the Fash Research Fellowship at the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University.
Dr. Reutzel said he feels like he's going home by coming to Utah State University to work. He used to come to Logan during the summer to visit his grandparents. He said he's also impressed with what he's learned about the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business .
"It just seemed like a place that is going somewhere and I wanted to be a part of that," he said of the college.
Katherine Chudoba
When Katherine Chudoba talks about virtual work that's not just code for imaginary work.
Dr. Chudoba, who is joining our Management Information Systems Department, is a nationally-known expert when it comes to virtual work and virtual teams.
As the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business puts increased emphasis on preparing students for the global marketplace, having someone around who has studied how people work when they aren't in an office but are connected electronically, could prove quite helpful.
Dr. Chudoba has been published in top journals in her field such as MIS Quarterly. Her work has been widely quoted by other researchers.
She was an assistant professor of MIS at Florida State University and said she is excited to be able to contribute to the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business and its efforts to better prepare students to lead in the new global economy.
"That's one of the things that made me really excited about the opportunity of coming to Utah State," she said. "I have this sense that the college is really on the cusp of making all kinds of inroads and steps forward."
Dan Holland won't have to import speakers to give his students relevant insight into what is happening in the workplace.
He can draw from his 12 years of experience working as a senior business analyst and a marketing director. He's worked for Novell, for Iomega and for Zero Manufacturing. He's evaluated business plans while working for Novell and has taken an interest in studying what keeps entrepreneurs going in the face of adversity.
"I want to study persistence," he said. "Why do some entrepreneurs continue when things are looking really bad and why do others give up?"
He says he'll draw from his experience in teaching. At the Kelly School of Business in Indiana where he's been working on his Ph.D., he's received high marks as an instructor, earning a ranking of 6.7 on a scale of one to seven.
"I think it can really benefit the students when I am able to share some real world experiences that I've had and use those experiences to demonstrate theoretical and practical principles in entrepreneurship," Holland said.
Holland said that he believes helping students adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and helping them see how to work within the global marketplace is important.
"Even within existing corporations entrepreneurship is critical, and I believe that entrepreneurship is the lifeblood of the economy," he said.
Frank Caliendo
Frank Caliendo may know why most people don't start saving until they are 50 years old.
While the answer may seem intuitive, he's come up with some unique mathematical ways to analyze and explain the pattern. People save less now than they did in the 1980s and Caliendo has also done research to find out why that is.
He said that most households begin spending less at age 50, and he has attempted to use macroeconomic theory to help people better understand why and how the spending patterns change.
Two of his papers have been published in the top journals in his field, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control and in Economic Theory. One of the reasons Dr. Caliendo decided to come to the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is that he said he shares a number of common research interests with the faculty here. He comes to USU from Colorado State University with impressive credentials.
He received the Honors Faculty Teaching Award and was named the Ralph M. Bilby Researcher of the Year in 2004 at Northern Arizona University. He graduated with his Ph.D. in economics from Utah State University with an overall GPA of 4.0.
When John Johnson, head of the Management Information Systems Department, heard that Kelly Fadel was about to be interviewed by the BottomLine he had an editorial suggestion.
The story should be, "Star Returns," Johnson said.
It's obvious that Dr. Johnson is happy that Dr. Fadel will be joining his department. Dr. Fadel, who majored in business administration and minored in business information systems and finance, was the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business valedictorian at USU in 2002.
Dr. Fadel has continued to excel academically as he worked on his doctorate at the University of Arizona.
He was the recipient of the "Best Paper Award" at the ACM SIGMIS Computer Personal Research Conference and at the Americas Conference on Information Systems in 2005. His teaching effectiveness rating at the University of Arizona was 4.7 on a scale of one to five.
Fadel said he likes the direction the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business is heading.
"It really resonated with me," he said. "I think tomorrow's business world is going to increasingly require global thinking and a global vision and also very proactive creativity to deal with these shifting and expanding challenges that are constantly coming onto the scene. I also feel that ethical leadership is essential. In order to survive in this cutthroat environment, you need to establish unassailable trust and that comes by adhering to ethical principles."

"Regardless of what happens, we need more education about how to safely prescribe these drugs and identify people who are safe candidates and prescribe less," he said. "At the same time, we need a national campaign that informs the public and people who are receiving the medications that it's dangerous to have leftover medications and that they need to find ways to dispose of their medications or not accept a prescription."
An FDA spokesman said the advisory panel would most likely vote on the issue Friday afternoon.

March 3, 2014 - The Great Recession and slow recovery have taken a toll on state and local government revenues. Many states and municipalities have cut services and operations in response, but they've also significantly ramped up tax enforcement activities in an effort to secure more revenue, relying heavily on simple technology tools to automate and expedite enforcement processes.
While governments are putting technology to work for tax enforcement purposes, many small businesses have been slower to follow suit on the tax compliance side, living under the false premise that compliance technology is expensive, difficult to use, and relegated only to those large enterprises that have armies of technical and accounting staff who master the expertise to use these tools. This misperception leaves them vulnerable and at a significant disadvantage. It's not that business leaders don't want to leverage the best technology tools to ensure compliance: Often it's a case of small business leaders not realizing the scope of their obligations and the many pitfalls associated with compliance, even for company leaders who have the best of intentions, and more important, that modern technologies are readily available to businesses of all sides, that are not difficult to implement and not expensive to use.

Nick at Nite, Nickelodeon's prime-time and overnight block, gained more than 400,000 viewers during the second quarter. The ratings rebound, according to this article, is in no small part due to programming decisions at the channel that have replaced golden oldies such as "I Love Lucy" with more contemporary offerings such as "The George Lopez Show." The New York Times (7/29)
Building on the success of "The George Lopez Show," Nick at Nite is adding more original programs to attract viewers whose parents were weaned on Nickelodeon. Among the new shows is "Glenn Martin D.D.S.," an animated family comedy show about a dentist who takes his family on a cross-country trip.
MGM has launched THIS TV network, a 24/7 ad supported linear channel designed for the US broadcast marketplace and available to local broadcasters as a turn-key solution for generating revenue in the digital arena.

Cox Communications said that triple-play subscribers were up 17% in the second quarter of this year and that HD customers had risen almost 50%, compared with the same period a year earlier.

"It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give." (The Dispossessed, Ursula K Le Guin)
I find this news to be very heartbreaking, and wishing hard that the people would realize that depression is a serious problem and not something that can be passed off as a mood swing. I've linked the available international suicide crisis hotline websites here on Wikipedia.
When I graduated from high school in the mid 2000s, there was a teen couple from another nearby high school, Burnaby Mountain Secondary, that committed a double suicide just before their June convocations. The younger girlfriend had transferred to our school just a few months earlier, and the boyfriend was a classmate and friends with my friends at his highschool. When I went to their graduation ceremony, everyone was wearing black robes in memory of him. My other online friends at the other high schools in district also shared the news that several of their classmates died just before graduation, one of them jumping off a bridge and another reported "missing."
I think we take human suffering for granted too much in our every day lives. I know that I've met people who died in accidents, as the results of disease, or of the gradual progression of old age, and the people whose lives they've affected by their death. Every time a death occurs to someone we know, or didn't know, I think it's one of the aspects of our humanity to recognize the strength and fragilty of the human spirit.
Below is an excerpt from the article –
"Aaron Swartz, a wizardly programmer who as a teenager helped develop code that delivered ever-changing Web content to users and later became a steadfast crusader to make that information freely available, was found dead on Friday in his New York apartment.
At 14, Mr. Swartz helped create RSS, the nearly ubiquitous tool that allows users to subscribe to online information. He later became an Internet folk hero, pushing to make many Web files free and open to the public. But in July 2011, he was indicted on federal charges of gaining illegal access to JSTOR, a subscription-only service for distributing scientific and literary journals, and downloading 4.8 million articles and documents, nearly the entire library.
"Aaron built surprising new things that changed the flow of information around the world," said Susan Crawford, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law in New York who served in the Obama administration as a technology adviser. She called Mr. Swartz "a complicated prodigy" and said "graybeards approached him with awe."
Mr. Wolf said he would remember his nephew as a young man who "looked at the world, and had a certain logic in his brain, and the world didn't necessarily fit in with that logic, and that was sometimes difficult.

Dennis Dunn, For The Tribune/ Medora senior Ashley Lambert prepares to dribble down the court during Friday's home game against Irvington Prep Academy.
Dennis Dunn, For The Tribune/ Medora sophomore Kylee King (11) moves the ball in transition during Friday's home game against Irvington Prep Academy.
Through the first two games of the season, the Medora girls basketball team didn't score more than 22 points.
But on Friday night in the their final pool play game of the Henryville Tip-Off Tournament, they doubled their scoring output.
That wasn't enough, however, for the Hornets to claim their first win as Irvington Prep Academy walked away with the 74-49 win.

INDIA-THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Nearly a month and a half after the Protection of Women against Domestic Violence Act (DVA) came into effect, the authorities are still dithering on its implementation.
The Act has been welcomed by women's rights organisations as a law which, for the first time, clearly defines domestic violence as a human rights violation that need not necessarily be associated only with marriage and dowry demands.
However, the euphoria seems to have been short-lived. In many districts, victims of domestic violence who approach the courts seeking protection under the new Act are being turned away by courts, saying that the State has not put the regulatory mechanisms in place to implement the Act.
"Till the State appoints the regulatory authorities - Protection Officers (POs) and NGOs as service providers - women cannot seek protection under the new DVA. The local police now wash their hands of any complaint of domestic violence saying that under the new Act, complaints should be filed with the magistrate. Unless the Government takes urgent measures to appoint POs, this Act too will become another worthless legislation," says Maria, advocate.
Women's rights activists report that at the moment, it is the decision of the individual judges whether they should accept a case under the Act. In Kottayam and Ernakulam, many judges have accepted cases even in the absence of POs, while in Thiruvananthapuram, victims are being turned away.
Women's rights organisations have also rejected a suggestion from the authorities that women circle inspectors or probationary officers of the Social Welfare Department be given the additional charge of POs.
"We see this as another attempt to weaken the implementation of DVA. Surveys have shown that over 40 per cent of women in the State have faced domestic violence at least at some point in their family life. Domestic violence is a serious social issue and a PO should be a full-time official who can deal with emergency situations," a women's rights activist in the city says.
The Act calls for civil remedies such as protection of women victims, relief and custody orders for children. It avoids police mediation.
The court should take cognisance of the complaint, institute a hearing within the next three days and dispose of the case within 60 days of the first hearing."One should not lose sight of the positive aspects of the new Act, which, for the first time, acknowledges sexual, verbal, psychological and economic abuses as acts of domestic violence. It provides for the victim's protection, protects her right to live in the matrimonial home and her property rights. But the Act's effectiveness is dependent on the key implementing officials," says J. Sandhya of Human Rights Law Network.

Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney said Friday that Americans want fewer firefighters, police and teachers, and a surrogate confirmed Monday that this was not a gaffe, but a statement of policy.
"There are municipalities, there are states where there is flight of population, and as the population goes down, you need fewer teachers. As technology contributes to community security and dealing with issues that firefighters have to issue, you would hope that you can as a taxpayer see the benefits of the efficiency in personnel you can get out of that," said former N.H. Gov. John Sununu, one of the Romney campaign's top surrogates, in an interview with MSNBC. Though he said he was speaking "as a taxpayer," Sununu echoed a speech Romney gave in Salt Lake City on Friday, hitting President Barack Obama for supporting federal aid to states and local governments.
"[Obama] says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers," said Romney. "Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."
Romney was referring to the recent recall election in Wisconsin, where Republican Gov. Scott Walker survived an attempt to remove him from office. The Democrats did succeed in gaining control of the Wisconsin Senate.
While Romney claimed that Wisconsin gave him a mandate to cut government services, even Walker backed away from that analysis. In an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," Walker said, "I know in my state our reforms allowed us to protect firefighters, police officers and teachers. That's not what I think of when I think of big government."
The Obama campaign hit back hard at Romney's opposition to front-line government workers. The campaign said in a tweet on its Twitter feed, "The last thing our country needs is to have fewer teachers in our schools." It also hit back with a web ad decrying Romney's position.
But Sununu, at least, stood strongly by Romney's statement.
"You have cities in this country in which the school population peaked ten, fifteen years ago, and yet the number of teachers they have maintained has not changed," Sununu said. "I think this is a real issue and people ought to stop jumping on it as as gaffe and understand there's wisdom in the comments."

"Grow up people and do some math, government at all levels must be cut."
Speaking of "sheer mental laziness." The world just isn't this black and white, the cognitive functioning of adolescents on Perry's stages. There are more possibilities than simply cutting essential services like police, fire and teachers.
We might begin by revoking the corporate welfare given large businesses from agribusiness to oil companies. We might continue by requiring the wealthiest members of our society who pay a relatively miniscule share of the costs of their own wealth production to pay their fair share.
Cutting expenditures is always only half of any debt reduction plan. Increasing revenues is the other. And so long as that remains off the table, we will be hamstrung in our efforts to reach fiscal solvency. Funny, I rarely hear the working poor making these arguments.
Let your voice be heard-VOTE
It sure does.
"Lets Cut Teachers, Firefighters, Police", yes, let have less of those who teach our children, instead of, you know, making sure that they themselves are properly taught. Lets have less firefighters so that fires can run rampage and the ones that we do keep are over worked, underpaid and stressed out. Lets have less police, the ones who are to protect and serve, as a whole, instead of getting rid of those that are corrupt and find wholesome and trustworthy replacements, so that crime can run rampant through the streets. (There was Sarcasm in there, in case you couldn't taste it.)
I foresee America falling more and more away from the "Land of the American Dreams" that not so long ago we were seen as by much of the world, and towards a land of under-educated criminals and families members and personal items lost to fires.
To Annelies,
I thought your comment was humerous..."Most Americans don't know how to pronounce my name correctly, but so far the only ones who so "cleverly" tried to butcher my name the way you did, have all been "good christian republicans". Go figure.....
I have been showing your name to a bunch of young, democrat, non-christians here on campus and none of them have been getting it right either...
And what did you mean by "good christian republicans"...I didn't know there was such a thing...most "good" christians I know are not republican and consider the rebublicans and democrats to be of the same elitest families (don't they all, dems and repubs, go to the Bohemian Grove, together, and offer up their little sacrifices to the Great Owl...)...
Charles T: Oh,it will be slashed alright, but it won't be accross the board... As usual, the military and big business will get greater and greater subsidies, the super rich will get bigger and bigger tax breaks, and the rest of us will be exploited to an ignominious early death, as will our Commons.

One of the few constants on Care2 is the really poor quality of the debate any debate.
We have Max M's usual drivel, name calling and all. The rants by most here about repugs or whatever DNC directive re: titles for those who dare disagree with the approved lines. The sheer mental laziness of many who think Dems are thrifty, incorruptible, fiscally responsible etc. What we seldom have is an actual argument/debate on points and that is too bad.
Address the issue people, the majority of states/localities are broke or damn near it. The Federal government of course isn't "broke" b/c the just print more paper and drive down the worth of any assets/savings we have with inflation and not a single fiscal issue has been dealt with by any Dems anywhere in the nation except for Rhode Island which has actually forced cuts in their pension/pay systems to the point of making the state solvent again. The Repubs despite your horrified editorials/opinions are so scared of being demonized that at best they've put forward some very weak plans to balance the budget in 20 years...
Grow up people and do some math, government at all levels must be cut. If it's not trimmed now, it'll be slashed soon and it will across the board.
In November we women will remember, and so will our husbands, boyfriends, fathers, and sons.

Bangkok's Night Scene in review
For More
Bangkok, 01 January 2003
William R. Morledge
MIDNITE HOUR presents the Bangkok Night Scene 'history-in-the-making' for the month ending 31 December, 2002 :
The December Crack-down
Sounding like deja-vu all over again, MIDNITE HOUR decided to check the archives on when Bangkok's Night Entertainment Areas had been raided in the past.
Going back to late December, 1996, a crack-down in the Surawong - Patpong II area caught two of Patpong II's long-standing venues by surprise. The Pink Panther was not only using the copyrighted name but the logo as well. They were able to open for business once they changed their name to Bar & Pub The Pink. They kept the logo almost intact, changing its name to "Pantera". Likewise, the Playboy Topless bar was 'hit', and they quickly dropped the Playboy part of their sign, becoming the Topless.
Again, in late December 1998, authorities swept Patpongs I & II. Once again, playing the name game; all those not using their registered names were told to get the proper signs up or close. Some of the names being dragged out of the closet and dusted off were familiar from times past, others were entirely unfamiliar - those bars had never used their real names. Who among us knew the Kiss was really the Dear Nat, or that Gold Finger's was really Erotica? Or that SuperStar was really PP Super?
Not one to believe in coincidences, December seems like the best month for bar and lounge owners to get their houses in order. As MIDNITE HOUR covers the individual changes for Soi Cowboy this last month, we will attempt to report just the observable, and leave speculation to others.
The Long Gun Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ , whose sign has read, Long Gun - Lucky Star since it opened (you had to read the fine print), has changed its name back to the original (pre-July 1994) Lucky Star. It was invited to close for two weeks, and reopened just in time for the New Year's Eve celebrations. Welcome back.
Its sister-in-arms next door, the Raw Hide Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was also carrying a second sign reading Long Gun II. That sign has disappeared, and they also were asked to close their doors for two weeks. They have also reopened in time to celebrate the New Year.
The Toy Bar Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was closed for two weeks. No indication of a name change, however. Likewise, they are back in action for 2003.
Joy's Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was also locked up tight during the two-week December crack-down, however they have not reopened. Coincidentally, it looks like a truck backed into their sign (!?) We will let you know if and when they reopen..
The Shadow Bar Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was not asked to close down, however it immediately removed its sign. The new sign, Cocktail Club, was up and shining brightly before the New Year.
The After Skool bar was closed down for two weeks, and now also sports a brand new Sunshine Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ sign. The Sunshine name however, is not new; it was originally one of the "Soi 16" bars in the mid-70's (actually it closer to Soi 14). Moving to Soi Cowboy when Sukhumvit widened, it later became the Sunshine Dee Ja. It has gone through a few names (and owners) over the years, starting with "Bumble Bee" in July of 1994, Welcome back on the block.
The Apache Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was closed for two weeks, however no indication that a name change is in the offing. By New Year's Eve they were back to rocking and rolling.
Likewise, the Five Star Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ was asked to take a fortnight break; a sign in front redirecting all willing traffic to the Five Star II, a couple of doors down. Seeing two bars with the same name, one suspected that at least one of them would undergo a name change, but, no, they are both back in action for the New Year.
Not all was bad news on Soi Cowboy, however. The Shark squeaked by just in time with a couple of new, very large signs reading (in Thai) The New A-Go-Go Duck Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ , the name of its 'predecessor'. It has kept its pink neon Shark, however, so it will be easy to spot.
Tony's, which had been closed for a few months -and had a 'for sale' sign up- is back open, again as Tony's Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ . Welcome back to the fray.
As planned, the Cowboy II Ģ SOI COWBOY Ģ reopened in December, and business looks brisk. Some of you will remember that the old Cowboy II (Pizzeria) became the Wet Lips in May of '99... Welcome back; the new digs are an improvement.
Welcome to the Funny Bar Ģ COWBOY ANNEX Ģ , which has opened in the old Luc's Bar location. They have promised that a new sign would be up for the world to see by the end of January. Bar beer is the format. Wish them luck as they toss their hat in the ring.
The '527' bar has been taken over by the Titano people. It is now called Titano Asoke Bar Ģ COWBOY ANNEX Ģ . This is Titano's 3rd bar to carry its name, the other two are at Sukhumvit Square. Welcome to the Annex .
In the 8-Pak Ģ COWBOY ANNEX Ģ , the Oasis 1 has changed names again. This incarnation is the Unit Bar, or will be, once it gets its sign put up. Bar beer is the format, as are all the bars in the 8-Pak . Welcome to the toil.
The Fantasy Thailand Ģ COWBOY ANNEX Ģ bar beer in the 4-Pak has called it an evening - Christmas lights unplugged, barstools upturned on the bar. --A forlorn magic-marker 'For Sale' sign tells the tale.
The Fire Cat, which revolutionized the "upstairs bar" concept in the '80s has reverted to its original Wild Cat Ģ PATPONG I Ģ appellation of 15 years ago. Some of you may remember during the crack-down of December '99 that it had briefly reverted to its old name until the heat was off, then switched back to the more familiar Fire Cat tag. With the severity of recent crack-downs, we might likely expect the Wild Cat moniker to be with us for a long time to come.
Also on The Ramp, the Dome Juniority Club Ģ PATPONG II Ģ , closed last month, has reopened this December. Hope they enjoyed their holiday.
One of the long-standing denizens on The Ramp, Royal Salute Ģ PATPONG II Ģ appears to have made its mind up to stay open.
The new, unnamed lounge Ģ PATPONG II Ģ next to the Thai Room is still playing at being "open". Unless and until the customers can expect it to be open the next time they drop around, there is not much likelihood of building a customer base....
Bua Luang has karaoke venues on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors above Cosmos Club. It has recently renamed its 4th floor place Baan Bua Luang Cafe Ģ PATPONG II Ģ , but the format is still "plaeng chiwit". (Mostly Thai clientele.)
Likewise, its next door neighbor, the OB-1 Bar Ģ QUEENS PARK PLAZA Ģ bar beer has lights out - barstools stored off-campus.
Next door again is the One More Bar Ģ QUEENS PARK PLAZA Ģ bar beer. It too, has seemed to have winked out of existence.
The Maxx Ģ QUEENS PARK PLAZA Ģ , which showed such promise as the Plaza's first big-screen sports bar has called it an evening - windblown leaves decorate its abandoned doorstep.
The Lee Lee Bar Ģ QUEENS PARK PLAZA Ģ has replaced the Laguna Restaurant. Bar beer remains the format. Welcome to the melee.
The Top Down Grill has disappeared from the rear of Bill's Coffee Shop Ģ CLINTON PLAZA Ģ . Along with it went a good recipe for American-style pizza.
The bar beer You & Me Ģ CLINTON PLAZA Ģ has also finally called it an evening. They are now swallowed up in the "Danger - Restricted Area" of the Plaza.
The Happy Prosper Ģ CLINTON PLAZA Ģ has similarly winked out, having seen happier and more prosperous times, it has finally fallen into the black hole of history.
Following suit, Janny Bar Beer Ģ CLINTON PLAZA Ģ has pulled down its blinking Christmas lights and taken its barstools home.
Lek's Boozer, after having battled the powers-that-be for the last 2 years, both in Clinton Plaza and next door at the old Thermae location, has finally pulled up stakes and moved on down the highway - to who-knows-where.
Titano has added its new Titano Soi 10 Bar Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ to its inventory. Bar beer the format. Welcome to the party.
Welcome Bar Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ also joined the fray this December. Bar beer the format. Another big welcome.
Likewise, Counter 7 Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ has drug out its best chrome barstools and switched on the colored lights. Everyone welcome.
Little Shinjuku Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ would be a bar beer but they have windowed it in and air-conditioned it. They reopened in December, but it looks like the only reason they did was so they could illuminate the new For Sale sign taped to the inside of the window.
A tiny bar beer has opened for business in the center section Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ ; no sign - it looks like it is still in the process of converting from a brick-a-brack shop. Lets wait to see what happens on this one...
The long awaited opening of Studio 54 A-Go-Go finally took place Christmas Eve, 2002. If one buys into all the rumors, it is supposed to be the first of several A-Go-Go bars to open in Sukhumvit Square. Originally planning to open the end of October, then again at the end of November, they finally got it together. Welcome to the circus. The front area is pool tables - with so many pool tables available in so many pool bars, something is going to have to give - Bangkok is either going to have to get a lot more pool players, or some of these pool bars are going to have to rethink their business plan...
At last we are seeing some serious construction activity inside the 77 Sunset area Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ , The biggest of the new venues to open within is The Loaded Dice. This is a brand-new "format" for Bangkok night venues; reminiscent -at least to some of our staff- of a 'gaming room' built in the back of Steven's Gay Nineties Restaurant in Saigon in the early '70s. It is a windowless 'inside' venue with air-conditioning. The game plan, -at least for starters- is the customers may sit around the outside of an oblong bar, while the hostesses sit Thai-style on cushions on the raised portion within. Games of chance are played using the roll of the dice. Winners will have their drinks bought by the girls. Losers will buy the girls a drink. But remember the name of this unusual lounge... One wonders whether or not the authorities will consider this a form of illegal gaming... Wish them all the best as they cast their lot with the rest.
Also within the 77 Sunset area is a small bar beer called Made In Heaven Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ . The owner was a former manager at the Soi Cowboy Jet -Set Lounge, and is only now trying to make a go of it for herself. Welcome to the melee, and lots of luck.
While still under 77 Sunset's roof, the Lucky Milk Bar Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ has also "opened its doors" to the public. Here's to prosperity for the New Year.
Still 'inside' the 77 Sunset area, the Check Inn 69 Ģ SUKHUMVIT SQ Ģ has opened in December, casting its lot with the others. Welcome to the grind.
The Athena Massage has also opened downstairs in the Peep Inn Ģ SOI DEAD ARTISTS Ģ compound. Can't say much for the location; they will have to depend on the Japanese trade from within, as there is no foot traffic past its door. Best of luck, you will probably need it.
The "33" Ģ SOI DEAD ARTISTS Ģ in the compound of the same name has called it a night - shadows dance in their doorway and only darkness shines from their windows.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) is a public body funded by central government whose purpose is to distribute compensation, which exceeds £200 million every year, to the victims of violent crime. Sums paid are intended to cover pain and suffering and loss of amenity for the injury itself and in certain circumstances other losses and expenses to a maximum compensatory award of £500,000.
Our specialist criminal injury compensation solicitors provide advice and representation to victims of violent assault who suffer from physical and/or psychological injuries arising from :-
Our criminal injury compensation solicitors are members of both the Law Society panel of personal injury experts and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).
We offer free initial advice on CICA applications and will review your potential claim and advise on its value. We deal with CICA claims using no win no fee arrangements which means that if you don't get paid then neither do we. We ask for no upfront payments and your claim is totally risk free. If the claim is refused or the award is inadequate in appropriate cases we will appeal the decision to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeal Panel (CICAP).
With the exception of some offences of sexual abuse, applications for criminal injury compensation must be made within 2 years of the offence. The victims behaviour before, during and after the violent incident is taken into account including all 'unspent' criminal convictions. It is not necessary for there to be an arrest, prosecution or conviction for an award to be made however the victim must report the incident to the police at the first possible opportunity. The victim must co-operate in any subsequent prosecution which may mean attending court as a witness.
Awards by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority are based on a tariff scheme whereby all potential injuries are assigned a value within a tariff band ranging from £1,000 to £250,000. If the victim suffers more than one injury then the three most severe are taken into account with the lesser injuries being discounted within the bands by 15% and 30% before aggregation of all three to produce the amount of the award. To qualify for an award the injury must have lasted at least 6 weeks and have required at least 2 attendances on a medical practitioner.

welfare fraud counts.
U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld said Tuesday that 29-year-old

Her daughter Aliayah (uh LEE uh) Lunsford vanished Sept. 24.

Lovely lady (attractive, petite, professional) aged 34, looking for a pretty, fit, attractive woman ages 30 to 45 to help my Daddy discipline me. I would love someone who can be both loving and stern, just like him. Is it you? This would include bondage, spanking, anal punishment, corner time, plus anything else you and Daddy feel I may need. Our plan would be for you to participate. Interested in lots of different role playing as well (headmaster/teacher with student, doctor/nurse with patient, etc.). No professionals please. Serious replies only, please put "Mother" in the subject line so we know you aren't spam. We are educated white collar professionals, real people, drama and d/d free...you be too. Safety and discretion is important to us. e-mail first, then meet up for drinks, then see. Pictures will be exchanged if Daddy says it is ok.

Denver won the opening face off, but Lehigh scored first with a goal by junior attackman Gabe Osorio. Osorio followed with another goal less than one minute later to give Lehigh a 2-0 lead. Law opened the scoring for Denver with a unassisted goal 8:36 into the first. Lehigh answered back with the first of three goals by senior attackman Mark Okrent. Denver ended the first quarter scoring with a goal by sophomore midfielder Mike Kenlay assisted by sophomore attackman Adam Stifel with 11 seconds left.
Twenty-five seconds into the second quarter Lehigh extended its lead 4-2, with a extra man goal by senior midfielder Brandon Wenk. DU answered with its own extra man goal scored by Law at 6:31 into the second. The score remained 4-3 until Lehigh junior attackman Matt Testa scored their fifth and final goal of the half with 3:55 remaining. Lehigh defensemen Tim Gosser dropped the ball into his own goal when attempting to clear it. The goal was credited to DU attackmen Alex Stanton, making the score 5-4 Lehigh at the half.
Denver opened the scoring in the second half with an extra man goal scored by sophomore attackman MacAdory Lipscomb 1:38 into the quarter. The next seven minutes belonged to Lehigh. They scored three goals, including two by junior attackman Christian Castellani. With the score 8-5, DU needed to turn it up to remain in the game. With a very boisterous crowd behind them, DU scored the next six goals. Travis Taylor started the scoring with a feed from Law with 4:23 left in the third. Long stick midfielder Kenny Crowley ripped one from the top of the box, pulling the Pioneers within one. Law struck again picking the upper right corner with :18 seconds remaining to knot the score at eight.
Denver continued to roll beginning the fourth with 2 more goals by Law and one by Taylor. Lehigh finally stopped DU's run with a goal 5:48 into the fourth. Denver extended its lead to 13-9 with a extra man goal by Stifel and an unassisted goal by junior attackman Chad Wittman. With five minutes remaining it seemed that Denver's lead was insurmountable, but Lehigh wasn't about to lay down. They scored three of the next four goals closing to within two goals, 14-12. Time was not on their side today as the game ended before Lehigh could come up with two more goals. Despite the loss, Lehigh looked to be a team that could easily be a contender. Lehigh will be looking to even up their record with a win over Air Force tomorrow.

Hospital Auxiliary
The Sullivan Hospital Auxiliary, or more commonly known as the "Pink Ladies" organized three days after the hospital opened. A meeting was advertised in the paper to "Organize Volunteer Help at the new Sullivan Community Hospital" on March 29, 1962 at 7:30 PM. Men and Women from the surrounding communities were asked to come to this initial meeting and become charter members of the organization. Records show that by the end of March, there were 96 individuals that joined the Auxiliary and paid their annual dues of $2.00. The first elected president of the Auxiliary was Vesta Schuler. The purpose of the Auxiliary was to assist the Hospital in any way possible. Programs and services the Auxiliary offers include: local Red Cross blood drives four times a year, staff and operate the Gift Shop in the lobby and deliver the flowers and plants that are sent to patients. They work to help make a patient's stay in the hospital as pleasant as possible.
The Auxiliary has been a major contributor toward hospital equipment and community benefit programs over the years. Since 1962 the Auxiliary has purchased over $263,164.00 in hospital equipment. They contributed toward an ambulance in 1972 and a maintenance truck in 1998 as well as purchased a treadmill for Physical Therapy, numerous wheel chairs as well as other medical equipment items. Over just the last 24-years, the Auxiliary has given over $26,456.00 toward patient and staff gifts. They have supplied patient handbooks, "The First Baby of the Year" gifts as well as other baby gifts, Doctor and Nurse Day gifts, fruit baskets for patients at Christmas, poinsettias for the hospital departments and gifts for the Children's Easter Egg Hunt. The Auxiliary has helped numerous students pursuing medical careers through scholarships. To date, they have awarded over $167,956.00 in scholarships. The first nursing scholarship was awarded to Carmen Arechederra of Bourbon on September 11, 1963. Current assistance in the Community has been through financial support to Relay for Life and Meramec Community Mission Food and Toy Drives. Just since 1999, the Auxiliary's contributions to these programs have exceeded $12,751.00.
The Auxiliary provides funding to all areas of the hospital to support the purchase of medical equipment and health education programs for the benefit our patients.

The Picture House, in Colwyn Bay, has gained recognition from its local Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch members.
The Abercolwyn CAMRA branch has voted the north Wales pub as 'Pub of the Season' for spring 2010.
The pub, which regularly serves a selection of beers from nearby Conwy Brewery, is a great supporter of CAMRA LocAle – the new accreditation scheme to promote pubs which sell locally brewed real ale, reducing the number of 'beer miles' and supporting your local breweries.
Located just seven miles west of the pub, in Conwy, its ales includes Rampart (4.5% ABV premium bitter), Telford Porter (5.6% ABV Victorian- style porter) and Welsh Pride (4.0% ABV copper- coloured bitter).
As well as the company's two annual beer festivals, The Picture House also stages a Welsh beer festival where ales from all over Wales are showcased, including those from Cardiff-based SA Brain & Co.
Steve Bland, pub manager at The Picture House, said: "We are thrilled to have been selected as best pub in the area for spring 2010, ahead of numerous other excellent outlets."
Abercolwyn CAMRA branch's chairman, Ian Saunders (pictured right presenting Steve with his certificate), said: "I would like to praise Steve and his staff for keeping the real ale in excellent form at The Picture House."

The Extraordinary Tide: New Poetry by American Womenby Erin Belieu
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A collection of nearly 400 poems by more than 100 different writers, The Extraordinary Tide synthesizes and celebrates an entire era of poetry by women in America. Long overdue, the anthology includes America's most recognized poets as well as those emerging as exciting new artists of contemporary verse.
Featuring recent work by poets as aesthetically diverse as Ai, Jane Kenyon, Ann Lauterbach, Carolyn Forch?, and Leslie Scalapino, the collection is the most complete map now available of a vastly underexplored landscape in American writing. Also included are poems by Julia Alvarez, Lucille Clifton, Alice Fulton, Tess Gallagher, Amy Gerstler, Jane Hirschfield, Heather McHugh, Alice Notley, Lucia Perillo, Marie Ponsot, Mary Jo Salter, Ellen Bryant Voigt, C. D. Wright, and many others.
The delights of this anthology are in its plurality, its collection of such a rich and varied sampling of that tide flooding American shores. — from the Foreword by Eleanor Wilner, author of Otherwise and Sarah's Choice
"The Extraordinary Tide is an extraordinary and important anthology that anyone interested in contemporary American poetry will want to read and cherish. The voices in this book are diverse; the kinds of poems gathered here are various in style and subject. But the one assumption that underlies and animates every line of every poem is that inclusiveness, intellectual and imaginative restlessness, impurity and radical play are the life blood of our language and our literature, renewing the very conventions and traditions they resist. Contemporary American women poets have given a great gift to all students of poetry, to all of us who go to poetry for news of what it means to be a human being at this moment in our history." Alan Shapiro, University of North Carolina
"Reluctant as American poetry has been to embrace its own majority, the almost inestimable variety, abundance, and accomplishment of this anthology makes one shudder to think how half-hearted our national literature would be without the voices that are gathered here. It's as if, at last, Eurydice had cleared the vast silence of the underworld, and in so doing she has fashioned a music that enlarges the voice in all of us." Sherod Santos, author of The Pilot Star Elegies
"Stunning in its accomplishment and breathtaking in scope, The Extraordinary Tide is an anthology like no other: rather than merely defining some very particular territory, the work of the women writers gathered herein in fact gorgeously illuminates all of contemporary American letters....Utterly necessary reading for all of us, who have learned from the likes of Dickinson and Bishop, whose distinguished company is joined by these diverse and essential writers of our time." Rafael Campo, author of Diva and What the Body Told
A collection of nearly 400 poems by more than 100 different writers, "The Extraordinary Tide" synthesizes and celebrates an entire era of poetry by women in America. Long overdue, the anthology includes America's most recognized poets as well as those emerging as exciting new artists of contemporary verse. With a provocative foreword by Eleanor Wilner and short biographies of all the poets, this anthology stakes out an authoritative space for poetry written by American women and will help to define new poetic terrain for readers and writers of contemporary verse.

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 oz small shallots (about 8), quartered and peeled, leaving root ends intact

Dag score was rated as the seventh most important trait in the Ovita Traits Prioritisation process. Dags predispose sheep to flystrike and require additional crutching costs. A 10% improvement in dag scores is estimated to be worth $21.7 million annually.
Currently dag scores are collected by breeders and entered into SIL to generate their own dag index. The majority of this information comes from WormFEC breeders. Seventeen of these breeders were recruited into an AgResearch study on flystrike and dags.
Initial analyses of the flystrike/dag dataset have been carried out and genetic parameters such as heritabilities and genetic correlations between traits and with other traits determined. For breeders recording this trait, the most immediate result will be better SIL breeding values for dagginess and flystrike.
Genomic breeding values (gBVs) for dags are expected to be developed for release in 2012.
How can you help?
To develop gBVs for dags we need more sire DNA from Romney, Perendale, Coopworth and especially Texel and composite breeders that are recording dagginess. Any breeders interested in contributing please contact John McEwan firstname.lastname@example.com or Lucie Archer email@example.com.
There are currently no specific genetic tests for dags.
