More than 30,000 retired city employees will have to shell out as much as $4,440 more a year while waiting for the courts to decide whether Mayor Rahm Emanuel has the right to phase out the city's 55 percent subsidy for retiree health care.
A federal appeals court recently denied the retirees' request for an injunction blocking the increases from taking effect until the merits of the case are decided.
It was the latest of several rapid-fire defeats for the retirees. They initially filed their lawsuit in state court, only to be told it belonged in federal court, where a new lawsuit was filed that same day.
When U.S. District Judge James Holderman was asked for an accelerated decision, Holderman ruled "within an hour" that health care benefits were not meant to be protected by the 1970 Illinois Constitution, according to Clinton Krislov, an attorney for the retirees.
"That's a view that no one else has voiced," Krislov said.
The retirees' class-action lawsuit argues that the Illinois Constitution guarantees that municipal pension membership benefits are an "enforceable contractual relationship which may not be diminished or impaired."
The lawsuit further contends that retirees "have a property right to a lifetime health care plan" from the city "unreduced from the best terms" during their participation. Anything less would be a "depreciation of property rights" guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution," the lawsuit states.
Krislov said it's "unfortunate" that retirees on fixed incomes will have to "bear the out-of-pocket expense" until the case wends its way through the courts.
But he said it's "like the second inning of a game that has dragged on for 27 years." An upcoming Illinois Supreme Court ruling in a case filed by state retirees whose health care benefits were cut could be pivotal, he said.
"If the Supreme Court were to declare health benefits are not protected across the board, that would obviously hurt us," Krislov said.
"In the state case, retirees' claims rest on an employment statute. They get the benefit because they're former employees. The city case is different. We get it because we're participants in one of four [pension funds]. Our claim is stronger because it explicitly comes through retirement system."
Law Department spokesman Roderick Drew and Kelley Quinn, a spokeswoman for the city's Office of Budget and Management, could not be reached for comment on the case.
Emanuel is counting on saving $23 million this year by forging ahead with a three-year phase-out of the 55 percent retiree health care subsidy. That would reduce the annual tab for retiree health care from a projected $108.7 million to $85 million.
Out-of-pocket increases will depend on when employees retired, whether they are Medicare-eligible, are married and have children.
But the increases will range from $37 more a month for the 7,018 non-married employees who are Medicare-eligible and retired between 1989 and 2005 to $370 more a month for the 95 non-Medicare families with children.
Increases that fall between those highs and lows include $151 more for 1,717 non-Medicare singles who retired after 2005 with 20 years of service, a $131 increase for a Medicare-eligible couple with kids that retired between 1989 and 2005 and a $353 hike for a non-Medicare family led by someone who retired after 2005 with 20 years of service.
One category of retirees will see their monthly premiums drop by $9. They are Medicare-eligible singles who retired with less than 10 years of service.

The NOVA Camporee will be August 8th, 9th and 10th on the grounds on the GE Healthcare Institute in Waukesha, WI. We will be camping on the grounds with access to their building, classrooms and labs. This event is open to all registered Scouts and Venturers. All of the challenges being planned are to earn the Scout or Venturer their NOVA Award. In addition to the challenges, we will have multiple demonstrations, including two or more 3D printers in operation, an MRI demonstration and robotics demonstrations. A fun and challenging time for all! Register online at www.ThreeHarborsScouting.org/NOVACamporee Early registration cost is $24.00 per Scout/Venturer and $12.00 per Adult (late registration after July 1st is $29.00 per Scout/Venturer). Register soon as space will be limited! Looking to see all of our council's budding scientists and engineers there!
The Boy Scouts of America's NOVA Awards program incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers. The goal is that the requirements and activities for earning these awards stimulate youth interest in STEM-related fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and show how these disciplines apply to everyday living and the world around them. Counselors and mentors help bring this engaging, contemporary and fun program to life for youth members.

2014 Summer Camp
It's not too late to sign up and attend one of our four summer camps! Visit www.ThreeHarborsScouting.org/camping to sign your child up for one of our exciting programs. Here is a brief synopsis of our camps:
LeFeber Northwoods Camps (LNC) – While three camps make up the property, the summer programs for Camp Baird and Camp Neidhoefer are conducted through one central staff. Whether your unit chooses a Baird or Neidhoefer campsite, you'll enjoy adventure, aquatics, field sports, nature, handicraft and Scoutcraft activities along with a full complement of related merit badge offerings. LNC is a patrol cooking camp; each patrol checks out its food from the Baird Commissary/Administration Building prior to each meal, and prepares it to their liking back at their campsite. Sunday dinner is a camp-wide meal prepared by the staff and served in the Rendezvous Area.
Robert S. Lyle Scout Reservation – Robert S. Lyle offers open merit badge programming that is second to none. A boy can work on as many or as few merit badges as he desires. One of the unique program aspects is patrol cooking. All food is provided to the campers, but the boys themselves must cook the food in their campsites utilizing dutch ovens, campfires and other outdoor cooking techniques. Patrol cooking is one of the best ways for young men to apply the skills they've learned in the Scouting program.
Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta – This summer you will find that we want to BUILD boys at our LEt's GO summer day camps. We will have a fast-paced fun and exciting camping experience from our 4-Day day camps to the new 5-Day day camp: you will be putting the blocks of learning to good use.
Indian Mound Scout Reservation – All new and exciting this summer are 4-Day day camps and a new resident camping experience. Come join us for a once-in-a-lifetime camp experience as a pirate or as a space ranger. Our camp is nationally accredited and is a great place for your child to spend the summer.
Check out our four camps and sign your child up for the adventure of a lifetime at http://www.ThreeHarborsCamps.org/
Only a very select group of people have spent almost their entire adult lives helping other people. Three Harbors Council (and the legacy Southeast Wisconsin and Milwaukee County Councils) can boast that we have a huge cadre of individuals who have done just that!
These individuals serve in a variety of leadership and support positions in our Council. Some are volunteers, some are paid staff…and many occupy both chairs! The common ground is: thousands of lives have been positively affected by their efforts.
I am proud to announce that two of these servant leaders have retired from Three Harbors Council. Both will be sorely missed and their contributions to our community will be long remembered.
Pat Majchrowitz, the longtime face of the Service Center in Racine and now Kenosha, has retired after nine years of helping others. Her friendly smile, gracious nature and commitment to serve have delighted volunteers for many years. How many thousands of young boys were able to wear their first blue uniform because of Pat? How many leaders, in a mad dash to buy patches for that night's Blue and Gold Banquet, were quickly and expertly served by her?
Terri Best, the Council's registrar, has retired after 32 years of glorious service. During her tenure, she took us from quills & ink and typewriters to computers for the registration process! Thousands of Eagle Scouts would not have received their medals without Terri's direct involvement in the process. Hundreds of thousands of youth and adults were ushered into the BSA through her keystrokes. While all this was going on, she was an incredibly effective volunteer in the Order of the Arrow. She will continue this role in the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in congratulating Pat and Terri for their distinguished careers…and for their servant leadership. They both go the next phase of their lives knowing that they have helped families and youth and have done the Lord's work.
Yours in Scouting,
Summer is upon us, and that means lots of great activities for packs, troops and crews in Three Harbors Council. While there are opportunities all year round, the summer months are when your unit can really put the "outing" in Scouting. As Scouting's founder Robert Baden-Powell remarked, "A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room." This is true at all levels of Scouting.
For packs, there is a large variety of camping activities at either Indian Mound Reservation or Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta. Troops and crews go to long term camps and High Adventure Bases. Packs, troops and crews should be making every effort to get all Scouts to camp this summer. To see what our council camps have to offer, check out www.threeharborscamps.org. Camping provides the best opportunities for Scouts to learn and advance. Then, when you throw in events like Brewers Scout Day on July 21st and Camp Ammon at the State Fair, as well as several district events, I can see where Scouts can end up with a very busy summer.
This should be a busy time for commissioners as well. Contact with units and unit leaders should not stop over the summer months. Some commissioners may be able to check in with their assigned units at camp and others may want to see what preparations units are making for their summer outings. The biggest opportunity for commissioners, however, might be to assist their units with their annual program planning. In the middle of all of the great summer Scouting opportunities, unit leaders should be preparing their annual program plan to kick off the next Scout year and build on the great experiences gained during the summer.
I hope each unit in Three Harbors Council has a very successful summer filled with great Scouting experiences. Let's make sure every Scout gets to experience the Promise of Scouting.
Dick Kroll
Council Commissioner
With this Scouting year winding down, many units are looking forward to the next year of Scouting and will be going through the annual program planning process. Some units have already started. Find help on this process, including Program Conference Planning guides for packs and troops, at this site: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/boyscouts/programplanningtools.aspx
Units looking to earn the Journey to Excellence (JTE) recognition will be reviewing these criteria while doing their planning to make sure their unit is doing everything they can to be successful. The JTE criteria cover most items that characterize a successful pack, troop or crew. These include such items as membership, program, training, finances and the nuts and bolts of running a unit. Most of you are familiar with the JTE requirements, but there are a few changes for 2014. In the criteria for membership (called "Building Cub Scouting," "Building Boy Scouting" or "Building Venturing"), there is now a requirement at all levels for the unit have a membership growth plan. This plan does not need to be elaborate, but it should be written down and shared with your unit so that all leaders and parents understand the importance of membership growth.
Another change affecting all units involves logging the hours for service projects. The number of projects your unit needs to attain a Bronze, Silver or Gold level has not changed, but now units are asked to also enter the service hours and other data for their projects on the JTE Service Hours website, located here: https://servicehours.scouting.org/UI/Security/Login.aspx. Documenting these numbers helps the council and districts get a better understanding of all of the service being done by our units, and now it has become a JTE requirement.
In the Webelos-to-Scout-Transition criteria for packs and troops, a change in the Gold level now requires packs to have at least one Den Chief, and for troops to supply at least one Den Chief. Finally, in the criteria for the Annual Charter Renewal process, the Gold level now includes a requirement that units invite a commissioner and their chartered organizational representative to at least one meeting.
All of the JTE information is available at www.scouting.org/JTE. This includes the score sheets and tools to help units keep track of information as well as links to the Service Hours website. The key to having a successful troop is planning: having a plan, writing it down and sharing it with all involved. Setting a goal of earning the Journey to Excellence award and "going for the gold" helps leaders focus on what it takes to be a successful unit.

Bill Schmitz's Talking Dog
This is a story told to me by Bill "Wildchild" Schmitz. He tells me this is a true story that happened to him last summer while he was cruising on his Harley in the northern reaches of Wisconsin. Since Bill never lies, I have no reason to doubt the story, so I'll pass it on to you as he told it to me.
I was cruising along on a dusty back road when I shoot past a farm house with a road sign that reads, "Talking Dog for Sale." Wow, what's this about? I turn around and knock on the door. This old guy comes out and says, "Yes, I have a talking dog. Come around to the back and I'll show him to you." In the back there is a fenced-in yard. I look over the fence and there is an old Labrador Retriever. "So, you are a talking dog," I said sarcastically. "Yep, that's me," said the dog. After picking myself up, I said, "How long have you been talking?"
"Well, I discovered my talents when I was just a pup. I wanted to help the government so I called the CIA. After some tough training they had me jetting from country to country. I sat in with spies and terrorists gathering information because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of the most successful agents they had for eight years running. I received all kinds of awards and medals. I finally got tired of jetting around. I wanted to slow down. I took a job at the Chicago airport doing some undercover work. I would wander near suspicious characters and listen in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals."
"That's an incredible dog," I said. "How much do you want for it"?
"Ten dollars," said Bill.
"Wow, did you buy it?"
"No, I found out the dog was a damn liar; he had never been out of the yard."
My Veteran's Cap
A few day ago, a friend from high school sent me a Vietnam Veteran cap. He had served there and I was proud that he thought enough of me to send it. Yesterday, I wore it when I went to Wal-Mart. There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world's largest retailer, but since I retired, trips to Wally World to look at the Walmartians is always good for some comic relief. Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent the establishment. But, I digress....enough of my psychological fixations.
While standing in the checkout line, the guy in front of me, probably in his late twenties, asked, "Are you a Vietnam Vet?"
"No," I replied.
"Then why are you wearing that cap?"
"Because I couldn't find one that said War of 1812." I thought it was a pretty snappy retort.
"The War of 1812? Never heard of it, when was that?"
Forgive me, but I couldn't pass on such an opportunity. "1936," I answered, as straight-faced as possible.
He pondered that for a moment and responded, "Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1936?"
"It was a special top secret Op force. No one is supposed to know about it." I said.
"Tell anyone and I'll have to have you eliminated," holding my forefinger across my lips.
"Cool, dude, I'll never mention this to a soul, I promise. This is seriously awesome."
When he checked out, the lady behind me was about to have a heart attack she was laughing so hard. I just grinned at her.
What a great time! Tomorrow I'm going back with a Homeland Security cap. Then the next day I'm going to wear a Border Patrol hat and see how long it takes to clear out the store.
Whoever said retirement is boring just needs to wear the right cap.

The Silver Beaver Award is the highest award our council can bestow upon a volunteer for their years of dedicated and selfless service to our youth. For 2013, the Silver Beaver Selection Committee selected eight outstanding volunteers to receive this honor. They were officially recognized at the Scouters' Recognition Dinner on Thursday, March 26, 2014 at the Clarion Hotel Airport.
2013's Silver Beaver Award recipients are: Mike Barczak, Iron Horse District; Brian Boehm, Gateway District; Dennis Carney, Southshore District; Bob Gross, Venturing; Christopher Layden, Executive Board; James Lousier, Lighthouse District; John Marshall, Root River District; and Guenter Wiedemann, Lighthouse District.
If you wish to submit a nomination form for an individual you think is worthy of this award for 2014, please go to our website www.ThreeHarborsScouting.org later this year. Nomination forms are traditionally due to the council by November 15th.
If you have any questions regarding the Silver Beaver process, please contact Suzanne Duchaine at email@example.com or 414-443-2876.
This year's Scouting for Food Campaign resulted in 161,250 pounds of food collected that was distributed to the needy in our communities by local food pantries and Feeding America.
Of the total, 140,761 pounds of food were picked up during the collection day by Scouts. The remaining 20,489 pounds of food were dropped off at Pick N' Save Stores.
The need this year was greater than ever because of the cold winter and high heating bills that families faced. This increased the usage of the local food pantries. When we started the morning at the Shalom Center in Trevor, WI, the shelves were almost bare. By the end of the morning, the shelves were full, plus some more supplies in boxes that could not fit. This is why this "Good Turn" is so important for the Scouts and Leaders to participate in each spring. As Feeding America employees commented on collection day, "The Boy Scouts are the largest one-day food drive that supports Feeding America. The Scouts bring in more food in one day then any of our other partners do in the entire year."
Special thanks goes out to the local food pantries, Feeding America, Roundy's Pick N' Save, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Schneider National and, of course, the thousands of Scouts and their leaders who distributed bags and picked them up.
Plan on participating in next year's Scouting for Food campaign.
Feast your eyes on the new requirements for the Cooking Merit Badge!
The sound of the kitchen timer can only mean one thing: the new Cooking merit badge requirements are done.
For the new Cooking Merit Badge, which becomes Eagle-required on January 1, 2014, Scouts will prepare meals using the MyPlate food guide, understand and explain food allergies and learn about cooking food indoors.
This is important: there are two big, separate changes to the Cooking Merit Badge as you know it. The first is that the Cooking Merit Badge will become Eagle-required beginning January 1, 2014. The second is the new requirements, found below, which become mandatory for Scouts who begin the Merit Badge on or after January 1, 2015.
The new Cooking pamphlets hit the shelves of Scout Shops in January 2014. From now until Dec. 31, 2014, a Scout may use the old or new requirements — his choice. All Scouts beginning the Cooking merit badge on or after January 1, 2015 must use the new requirements.
Let me break it down:
• Scouts who already started Cooking MB using old requirements: they're fine and may finish with the old requirements. They will not need to re-earn the Merit Badge with the new requirements, but they may switch to the new ones if they choose. There is no time limit between starting and completing a badge, although a counselor may determine so much time has passed since any effort took place that the new requirements must be used.
• Scouts who already earned Cooking MB: they may purchase or be presented with the new, silver-bordered Cooking MB patch (regardless which requirements were involved). They don't need to re-earn it now that it's Eagle-required. But they can't wear both the green- and the silver-bordered versions.
• Scouts who begin Cooking MB in 2013 or 2014: they may use the old or new requirements — their choice.
• Scouts who begin Cooking MB in 2015 or beyond: they must use the new requirements.
Make sense? Think of 2014 as a transition period for the merit badge. During this time, you'll find both pamphlets in Scout Shops, and a boy may choose which to use. It's easy to tell them apart.
Boy Scouts and Venturers: Due to the severe winter weather we had this year, some school districts have changed their schedules and are adding days into the summer. To better accommodate Scouts and Venturers who cannot attend the standard NYLT course in June, we are going to offer a two weekend fall course later this year. This course will be run by the same highly qualified youth staff, under the supervision of adult advisers, and will teach participants the concepts of what a leader must BE, what a leader must KNOW and what a leader must DO. Participants will learn and practice valuable leadership skills they can use in Scouting and beyond.
• The course will take place the weekends of Sept 26-28 at Indian Mound Reservation, and Oct 10-12 and Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta.
• We need a minimum of 16 participants to run this course, so if you are interested, please contact Gina Hannemann with registration info ASAP.
• There will be a pre-course meeting on September 7, at Wheaton Franciscan in Franklin to prepare the Scouts and Venturers as well as their parents.

As of May 2014, there is a totally revamped Venturing program. Created by the National Committee on Venturing, this effort is the product of years of volunteer and professional staff partnerships at the National level. Although we do not have all of the details of this newly designed program, our goal is to have training designed and ready for volunteers by August. We also hope to roll out all of the program changes to all of the District Roundtables this fall. Please bear with us as we await all of the details and changes being handed down from the National BSA. As soon as we have concrete details we will share them with the entirety of Three Harbors Council.
If you are attending summer camp at LeFeber Northwoods Camps or Robert S. Lyle this summer, you can attend training and finish both Scout Leader Specific training and Introduction to Outdoor Skills. The training takes place each morning, and by the end of the week you can be completely trained. This training schedule stills leaves you time to spend with your unit in the afternoon and evening. The trainers will cover some of the Leader Specific course and some of the Introduction to Outdoor skills each day to make the morning more interesting. You do need to attend all five days in order to be completely trained by the end of the week.
Smell the popcorn, taste the hot dogs, hear the crack of Lucroy's bat and join more than 4,000 other Scouters at Miller Park on July 21st when the Milwaukee Brewers salute the Scouting program before the Brewers take on the Reds. Every Scout and leader in attendance and in uniform will be able to have their unit parade around the warning track and have their unit listed on the scoreboard. All Scouts and their families can score big savings on ticket prices.
The event impacts both the Scouts and the public. The Scouts realize they are part of a larger group than themselves or their troop or pack who have similar interests and values. The public realizes that Scouting is alive and relevant. It is truly memorable experience to see the stands filled with Scouting uniforms.
Registration Flyer:

Hi, my name is Nikki Moseby. When I first began working for the council, I was working in the Scoutreach program as a Youth Leader. After a short period of time I was promoted to a Product Sales Specialist working with the fundraising department for the Traditional Scouting program. Recently, I accepted the position of Learning for Life/Exploring Executive for Three Harbors Council. In this position, my responsibilities will include: membership expansion, fundraising and program delivery.
I look forward to serving the needs of our youth through character education and career awareness programs in Three Harbors Council, Boy Scouts of America.
2014 Character Camp was a blast for many of the Learning for Life students who participated in the Learning for Life character education program. Approximately 2,980 students registered for the one-day camp experience. Evaluations from various teachers were an indication that activities centered around character building, teamwork, discipline, perseverance, effective communication and respect were well-received by students, teachers and volunteers. The Learning for Life team, Character Camp committee members and Three Harbors Council staff are constantly brainstorming on innovative ideas to ensure our Learning for Life students have the experience of a lifetime.
The Learning for Life team did an exceptional job in creating an atmosphere conducive to learning in a number of schools throughout the city of Milwaukee. Sessions and specialized assemblies were designed to educate and expose students to the effects of bullying. Community leaders from a variety of backgrounds agreed to provide "real-life" scenarios regarding this issue. Statistics show that 1 out of 3 students will experience some form of bullying, cyber bullying and domestic abuse in their lifetime. Presenters provided students a forum to express their views regarding the epidemic. The presenters encouraged students to seek help from adults if they felt they were being bullied in school, home or through the internet.
Some signs that may point to bullying are:
• Unexplainable injuries
• Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics or jewelry
• Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
• Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. Kids may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork or not wanting to go to school
• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
• Feelings of helplessness or decreased self-esteem
• Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves or talking about suicide
If you know someone in serious distress or danger, don't ignore the problem. Get help right away.
The team is very excited about this year's opportunity to provide quality service to our Learning for Life and Exploring youth. Every year we have a unique opportunity to meet with our Learning for Life and Exploring leaders to renew and recharter annual paperwork. Also, during the time of renewing paperwork we have a chance to discuss ways to enhance the Learning for Life and Exploring program. In order to ensure efficient and proficient services, your help is very much appreciated. Below are some basic steps to ensure your Learning for Life group, Career Club and Explorer Post renew properly.
On-Time Rechartering:
• New youth MUST complete new youth applications and sign their own application.
• Parent or guardian must sign off on application.
• Signature of POST Leader must sign youth application.
• Signature of Organization Officer is required.
• Fees collected and turned in.
• New Adult Leadership MUST complete adult leadership application.
• Adult leader must complete application by including social security number and driver's license number. Application will not be processed without it, unless the leader is considered to be an employee of the government.
• YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING MUST BE COMPLETED FOR ALL ADULT LEADERS within 30 days of submitting an application.
Basic steps to remember when completing Learning for Life renewal paperwork:
• Learning for Life paperwork completed by Executive Officer
• Demographics/Ethnicity breakdown

The sooner we can get your renewal paperwork completed and processed the sooner we can start program planning!
The Learning for Life Corporation offers seven programs designed to support schools and community based organizations in their efforts to prepare youth to successfully handle the complexities of contemporary society and to enhance their self-confidence, motivation and self-esteem. The seven programs focus on character education and career education. Learning for Life programs help youth develop social and life skills, assist in character development and help youth formulate positive personal values. It prepares youth to make ethical decisions that will help them achieve their full potential. There are two program methods. We have six school-based programs and one worksite-based program. At a time when drugs and gangs are ravaging many of our schools and communities, Learning for Life programs can be a catalyst to help stop this trend. The program uses age-appropriate, grade-specific lesson plans to give youth skills and information that will help them cope with the complexities of today's society. Learning for Life makes academic learning fun and relevant to real-life situations in age-appropriate and grade-specific material. As a result, the positive character traits and skills learned by participation in Learning for Life not only make students more confident and capable, but also give them an invaluable understanding of how things work in the real world. School and community demands for character education and career education programs have greatly influenced the dramatic growth of Learning for Life. Learning for Life has been adopted by more than 17,000 schools and organizations nationwide, serving over 1.5 million youth.
Exploring is Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15 through 20 years old. Adults are selected by the participating organization for involvement in the program. Color, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, economic status and citizenship are not criteria for participation.
Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.
Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate an Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow and develop. Explorer posts can specialize in a variety of career skills. Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education and leadership experience.

Well control operations would begin Thursday morning, Coast Guard Capt. Peter Gautier, captain of the port for the New Orleans sector, said in a news release Wednesday.
The statement said less than 840 gallons of oil a day is coming from the well owned by Swift Energy Co. of Houston.
Crews began surrounding the wellhead with containment boom Tuesday night, after it was hit, said Swift Energy President Bruce Vincent. By Wednesday morning, he said, it was intermittently burping oily water, probably from a damaged valve.
He said containment boom also was set out along marshland about a mile from the wellhead, and two skimmer boats were at work.
The Coast Guard said the accident occurred in Lake Grande Ecaille Bay, 9 miles southwest of Port Sulphur.
The well was shut in about five years ago as a weak producer and the company planned to plug it this year, Vincent said. Enough natural gas pressure had built up over five years to push out water mixed with a small amount of oil, he said.
"It flows for a while, then stops flowing until it builds up some pressure and flows again," he said.
Nobody was injured on the crewboat Sea Raider, also owned by Swift, Vincent said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Carlos Vega said the accident happened about 8 p.
A statement from Swift said the well in January 2008 was shut. Its last production test, shortly before that, showed 18 barrels—756 gallons—of oil, 3 barrels of water and 59 thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day, the company said.
The site is about 50 miles west of where the BP-leased drilling rig Deepwater Horizon was drilling at the Macondo well when it exploded in April 2010, killing 11 workers on the rig and setting off the nation's worst offshore oil disaster.
Capping the BP well was hampered by the force of oil and gas pushing out of the well—an estimated 200 million gallons of oil eventually escaped—and because the well was about a mile under the Gulf surface. It took months for engineers to stop oil from flowing into the Gulf.
A trial to determine responsibility for the BP spill is going on in U.S. District Court New Orleans, about 70 miles north of the Swift wellhead.

Salt Lake City — First Wind, an independent U.S.-based renewable energy company, has finalized seven 20-year power purchase agreements with Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp. As part of the purchase agreements, Rocky Mountain Power will buy the output of the planned 20-megawatt "Seven Sisters" projects under its obligation from the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, or PURPA. First Wind, which successfully developed, built and now operates the 306 megawatt Milford Wind project, celebrated this project milestone during the 2014 Utah Governor's Energy Development Summit.
The Seven Sisters portfolio includes seven separate solar photovoltaic projects, four of which are to be sited in Beaver County and three to be located in Iron County. With the start of major construction slated to begin in late 2014 and a target completion date of July 2015, the projects are planned to use more than 73,000, 300-watt solar panels. Six of the seven projects will be 3 megawatt (AC), and the seventh will be 2 megawatt (AC). Once complete, the combined generating capacity of all seven projects will be 40,000 megawatt-hours per year, or equivalent to the electricity use of more than 4,000 Utah homes per year.
"We are excited to announce this milestone for the Seven Sisters solar portfolio as part of the 2014 Summit, which builds on First Wind's renewable energy leadership in Utah," said Pete Sullivan, director of business development at First Wind. "The long-term contracts with Rocky Mountain Power are a significant achievement for these solar projects, which will deliver clean energy to Utah ratepayers once they achieve commercial operations next year.
The projects are the first in Utah to be developed by First Wind's new solar division, First Wind Solar Group, which was established to explore solar energy opportunities near the company's wind projects in the West, Hawaii and the Northeast. First Wind Solar Group recently completed construction on its Massachusetts-based 3 megawatt Millbury Solar project.

A Multi-Radio 802.11 Mesh Network Architecture
Routers equipped with multiple 802.11 radios can alleviate capacity problems in wireless mesh networks. However, a practical, complete system architecture that can realize the benefits of multiple radios does not exist. The focus of the work is to offer such an architecture. The architecture provides solutions to challenges in three key areas. The first is the construction of a Split Wireless Router that enables modular wireless mesh routers to be constructed from commodity hardware. A split wireless router alleviates the interference that can occur between commodity radios within a single piece of hardware.

Jurisdictional Services
Jurisdictional Services
On average, ISU RC tests nearly 30,000 urine and blood samples each year. US industry average for positive calls is 0.45% (2006-2010); ISU RC positive rate is 72% higher during that same time period at 0.62%. In 2011, our positive call rate was 0.90%.
Within ISU RC, the goal is to always provide the client (jurisdiction) with meaningful quality testing at an affordable price. Recently, testing was reviewed to determine any testing duplications, and if so, what duplications could be eliminated. Cost control is essential with the reality of limited jurisdictional budgets and, in turn controlling costs within the laboratory.
Supply Services to the Jurisdiction
ISU RC will furnish sample jars, blood tube supplies, needles, needle holders, evidence tape, shipping container seals (security tags), as well as any other supplies necessary for sample collection.
See pictures of security coolers and other supplies currently in use here.
Supply Services for Testing of Samples
Chain of Custody/Testing & Handling Protocol
The Racing Chemistry Laboratory is vitally concerned about the chain of evidence and laboratory documentation supporting it.
We work closely with our jurisdictions to ensure a solid chain of custody from sample collection, transport, lab receipt, and subsequent testing within ISU RC.
ISU RC will not release any information considered confidential This is in standing with all other current and past regulatory authority requirements.

I agree, agree, agree. I guess I was just shocked. BTW, who is DeAndre Jordan and where did he come from? That guy is a monster. He's big, quick, and ferocious. I would hate to see him dunk on Brandon Wright.

yesterday game, besides apparent apathy of our players, was a stigma on smart's coaching - curry on gordon is wrong, ellis on baron as well. should've switched. curry could guard slower baron better than quick gordon, where he doesn't need to rely on athleticism, but smarts. he killed curry's confidence, plus sitting him for so long, it seems that curry is not being floor general in smarts system. sadly.
secondly, udoh was a plus in our little run. should have used him more. at least try him on blake griffin.
our bigs are out of offense for most time. high picks after high picks, no rolls whatsoever. lee, at least, seems really underused.
we are not and cannot be defensive team. simply too soft. without offensive rhythm and creativity for mismatches, there's no way we can do anything.
this is not a defensive roster matching straight up. especially with big teams like clippers, who are big at every position.
this game was lost in general headquarters before it really took place.
i hope for more activity and other game plan on our next meeting, otherwise, the result will be quite the same.

I pretty much agree with you. Simply put, our bigs are not very atheltic. Their bigs jump quicker, faster, and higher than our bigs. Yes Udoh and Wright should have played more to help counter act the athleticism.

Terex agrees to pay $8 million to settle fraud charges by SEC, admits no wrongdoing
Posted By Equipment World Staff On August 13, 2009 @ 9:24 am In Construction News | No Comments
The Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday charged Westport, Conn.-based heavy equipment manufacturer Terex Corp. with accounting fraud for making material misstatements in its own financial reports to investors, as well as aiding and abetting a fraudulent accounting scheme at United Rentals, Inc. (URI), another Connecticut-based public company.
Terex has agreed to settle the SEC's charges and pay a penalty of $8 million. The SEC previously charged URI with fraud as well as officers of URI and Terex.
"Terex is being charged with helping United Rentals pull off a sophisticated accounting scheme," said Fredric D. Firestone, Associate Director in the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "These two public companies inflated year-end results in order to mislead investors during a period of industry recession."
Here are the details from the SEC press release:
The SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleges that Terex aided and abetted the fraudulent accounting by URI for two year-end transactions that were undertaken to allow URI to meet its earnings forecasts. These fraudulent transactions also allowed Terex to prematurely recognize revenue from its sales to URI. The fraud occurred through URI's sales of used equipment to a financing company and its lease-back of that equipment for a short period. As part of the scheme, Terex agreed to sell the equipment at the end of the lease period and guarantee the financing company against any losses. URI separately guaranteed Terex against losses it might incur under the guarantee it had extended to the financing company.
The SEC's complaint also alleges that from 2000 through June 2004, Terex's accounting staff failed to resolve imbalances arising from certain intercompany transactions. Instead of investigating and correcting the imbalances, Terex offset the imbalances with unsupported and improper entries. As a result, costs were not recorded as expenses, and, on a consolidated basis, Terex appeared to be more profitable than it was.
Without admitting or denying the SEC's charges, Terex agreed to settle the Commission's action by consenting to be permanently enjoined from violating the antifraud, reporting, books and records and internal control provisions of the federal securities laws and by paying the $8 million penalty. The settlement is subject to court approval.

Photographer Steve Barker adjusts studio lights during a photo shoot for the Walter Drake catalog at Miles Kimball's headquarters at City Center in Oshkosh. The company announced Tuesday that it has changed its name to Silver Star Brands.
Miles Kimball Co. on Tuesday announced it has changed its name to Silver Star Brands in a move designed to better represent its expanding products and services.
In a press release, President Vicki Updike said company management sought a new name that better represents the Oshkosh mail-order company's evolution into a "diversified brand management company offering a wide variety of products."
The company's brands include As We Change health and well-being products for women ages 40 and up, Easy Comforts an independent living product line, Walter Drake household, health, gift and stationary products, Exposures photographic display and storage products and the Miles Kimball line of kitchenware, household, seasonal, food products and personalized gifts.
Miles Kimball will remain the company's flagship brand, but the change to Silver Star Brands is in response to the growing demand for product diversity, and multi-channel marketing, including direct mail, radio, TV, e-commerce and catalog, the company said. The company reaches 120 million households through its catalogs and more through other media.
The company employs 500 people year-round and each year hires more than 500 during the holiday season.
"We are a growth company with many exciting opportunities across the different disciplines, not restricted to only marketing and merchandising. We hope to add employees as we continue to expand our family of brands," Updike said.
Silver Star Brands is owned by Blyth Inc. a publicly held company headquartered in Greenwich Connecticut.
Rob Goergen, Chief Operating Officer of Blyth said Silver Star Brands will remain headquartered in Oshkosh.

ERP systems refer to software tools which ensure that a business can run as efficiently as possible. These systems are designed to deal with all the basic functions of a specific venture, regardless of how that business is organized or what it produces. Add-on modules designed to handle almost any unique need a business may have can be purchased separately; these are then included to the basic system acquired, and the whole package is integrated into a business' existing software. So many varied systems and modules exist, in fact, that at the moment, non-manufacturing businesses, non-profit organizations, and even government agencies are all able to utilize enterprise resource planning management systems.

The $4 Billion Man
It's not every day you get to meet someone who runs a $4 billion business with 800 employees -- especially someone who heads the largest and fastest-growing independent media agency in the world. When you see his Who's Who client list, with companies like Geico, Capital One, and United Networks, you'll know this is the ultimate advertising mind, and a brain you'd like to pick. Meet Bill Koenigsberg.
Why would a man like Bill Koenigsberg, founder, president, and CEO of Horizon Media, agree to be the co-chair at a radio conference like Radio Ink's Forecast? Answer: He loves radio. He's one of radio's biggest advertisers, and our success is in his clients' best interest. And you can be sure he has some strong feelings about radio, media, digital media, and where you need to be headed.
What do the Forecast co-chairs do? Bill and the other co-chair, Bob Pittman, have shaped the agenda of the conference and suggested speakers and panelists. Between the two of them, they've created the strongest Forecast yet, heavily focused on advertising and helping radio understand the needs of advertisers. Bill and Bob have attracted a star-studded list of speakers. Here is a sampling of some of the agency executives you'll meet this year at Forecast.
David Verklin is a marketing consultant who has served for the last three years as CEO of Canoe Ventures. Before joining Canoe, he was CEO of Aegis Media Americas, and one of the pioneers of the free-standing media agency business. He brought the Carat agency to North and South America, and reinvented the agency model with Carat Fusion and Carat USA, integrating on- and offline marketing services. His 2007 book Watch This, Listen Up, Click Here, about understanding the new media landscape, is still being used as a college textbook.
Douglas Ray is president of Carat USA, overseeing strategy and operations for the agency during a period of fast growth that included more than $2 billion in client wins. As Carat's EVP/Managing Director, he oversaw and directed work on such brands as Procter & Gamble, Diageo, and the J.M. Smucker Co. Before joining Carat, Ray was a partner at DiMassimo Brand Advertising.
Tim Spengler is worldwide CEO of MagnaGlobal, an Interpublic Group firm responsible for leveraging relationships with global media clients to maximize value for Interpublic clients. Before running MagnaGlobal, Spengler was President/North America for Initiative, one of Interpublic's two worldwide media networks; while under his leadership, Initiative added more than 30 new clients, including MillerCoors and Merck.
Brian Terkelson is CEO of MediaVest USA, guiding leading marketers including Coca-Cola, Kraft, and Microsoft. Before joining MediaVest, he served as Global President of LiquidThread, SMG's digitally led content creation unit; SMG was recently awarded a Gold Cannes Lion in Branded Entertainment. Under Terkelsen's leadership LiquidThread delivered such award-winning programs as Cover Girl's involvement in America's Next Top Model.
Radio Ink's Forecast is the conference to see where radio is going for the coming year so you can plan strategy. It offers you the strongest data points for informed decisions and is radio's top networking event, attended by most radio group heads, as well as station owners, CEOs, CFOs, radio investors, radio managers, brokers, and Wall Street analysts. We cap the event with an elegant reception, included in your registration, honoring the "40 Most Powerful People in Radio," most of whom will be in attendance.
Forecast is selling faster than any year in history, and we expect to sell out all 200 seats. Remember to register early, because Forecast is early this year -- November 28, the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.

HARLAN, Ky. (WYMT) - A Harlan County man is behind bars for assaulting his own mother.
Tina Britt says it all started as an argument on Friday, but she is now left with a broken arm.
"An argument ensued over who had possession of what and who was going to live where," said Harlan Police Chief, Mike Thomas.
The argument with her son, 20 year old Chris Ashton Britt, was over a stereo, which he then used against her.
"He turned around and slung the stereo and it hit me in the back of the head," said Britt.
She was sent to the Harlan ARH for trauma to the head and a broken arm.
Police say they later found her son hiding on the roof.
Police believe Ashton had to climb outside of a window in the apartment complex in order to get to the roof.
Yet, Britt says her son has already apologized.
"He's calling me now, I love you mommy. He's crying, you know, are you hurt are you ok. Did I hurt you, its like he's gone from one to another. He's bipolar," said Britt.
She says his emotional problems caused the attack and she forgives him.
"I love my son very much and I'm going to back him all the way," said Britt.
Ashton is in the Harlan County Detention Center for assault charges and evading police.
Britt says she is planning on dropping the charges against her son.

Antwoine Smith scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds in Mansfield Senior's 65-57 win over Sandusky on Saturday. / Daniel Melograna/ News Journal
Bigger isn't always better. Sometimes bigger is just bigger.
Even by its own lofty standards, Mansfield Senior has reached unprecedented heights the past two seasons with talented -- albeit undersized -- guards. The Tygers were a combined 46-4 with two outright Ohio Cardinal Conference championships, two district titles and a Final Four appearance.
It's still too early to tell if the 2006-2007 Tygers can match the success of those teams, but this much we know. Mansfield Senior is bigger than it has been during its sensational two-year stretch.
Mansfield Senior's opening-day lineup featured 6-foot-3 Antwoine Smith, 6-3 Tre'Vonn Lucas and 6-3 Di'Nero Ramseur in the frontcourt and 6-2 T.J. Lindsay and 6-1 Lonnie Eatmon in the backcourt.
"Our main goal this year," Smith said after scoring 15 points in Saturday's 65-57 win over Sandusky, "is to get the ball to the rim."
Ramseur had a double-double in his first varsity start, scoring 11 points and grabbing 11 rebounds as the Tygers pounded the Blue Streaks on the glass (43-29). Lucas had 13 points and 10 boards.
"I love Di'Nero's game," Lucas said. "That's my boy. He's athletic and he works hard."
Head coach Gregg Collins' biggest concerns going into the season were his team's ability to score from the perimeter and handle the ball. Mansfield Senior was 2-of-6 from beyond the 3-point arc against Sandusky and turned the ball over 19 times.
"We've got to take better care of the ball," Smith said. "We can't win with 20 turnovers. I think some of it was first-game jitters, but we've got to execute better."
Another concern for Collins was his team's depth. In Saturday's opener, all five starters logged more than 22 minutes.
"I think we had some people come off the bench and step up," Collins said. "(Sophomore) Jacob Owens came on and knocked down a big 3-pointer and Demetrius Newbern played awfully well for us. I thought (6-5 junior) Brendon Bonham was very active when he got in there."
The Tygers will find out where they stand Saturday when they visit traditional powerhouse Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary.
"There's no question we'll have our hands full," Collins said. "They are big, fast and extremely talented."
Depth could also go a long way in determining Madison's fortunes this winter. The starting five scored all 83 points in a season-opening win over Shelby on Friday. Zach Maxey dropped a career-high 35 points and Matt Brown added 19, all in the second half.
The Whippets bounced back from the loss to Madison with a 61-55 win at Olentangy Liberty on Saturday. Chris Dudics, who torched Madison for 28 points Friday, had 19 more in the win. Parker Grove, who struggled in the opener, added 17.
Teams ready to write off Willard will do so at their own risk. The Flashes pushed North Central Conference heavyweight Ontario to triple overtime before falling 88-85.
Darrien Douglas scored 26 points and Matt Steinmetz added 20 in the loss.
Jake Mochoskay, a 6-5 junior, led four Warriors in double figures with 28 points.
A couple of Mid-Buckeye Conference hopefuls got out of the gate quickly over the weekend. Fredericktown picked up a pair of wins, while Loudonville roughed up Hillsdale on Saturday. Loudonville's dynamic guard tandem of Logan Scott and Caleb Orchard combined for 45 points.
