Message from the Director
The demand for physician assistants continues to increase in both primary care and in specialty areas. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Employment of physician assistants is expected to grow by 39 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. Projected rapid job growth reflects the expansion of healthcare industries and an emphasis on cost containment, which results in increasing use of PAs by healthcare establishments."
In 2002, the American Academy of Family Practice (AAFP) began a research project that resulted in the 'New Model' of family practice which states: "Patient care in the New Model will be provided through a multidisciplinary team approach and will be dependent on a deep understanding of the population served by the practice. In addition to the usual clerical and nursing personnel, staffing will typically include physician assistants …."
One of the original goals of the PA profession was to help increase primary care providers. The 2008 Consensus Report from the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) shows that 37% of respondents practice in a primary care field. Of the 30,000 PAs working in primary care, about 20% work in community health centers, certified rural health clinics and in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), both urban and rural.
With that and the clear need for Physician Assistants in a new model for healthcare in our country, the faculty of the University of Bridgeport Physician Assistant Institute designed a curriculum that would respond to the needs of our patients, our healthcare system, and our profession.
Our 28 month curriculum will provide the graduate with a solid foundation in the basic and clinical sciences, integrative medicine and a global health perspective. Our obligation is to educate our students to develop their confidence, knowledge and skills to enter the practice of medicine as a Physician Assistant. Finally, Our Motto: Adiuvare, Mederi, Communiter (To Help, To Heal, Together) is our commitment to you, your education and your future patients.
We look forward to your application.
Dr. Daniel Cervonka, PA-C, DHSc.

The Hard Man of Damascus

With Syrian troops encircling the city of Hama, the Obama administration and its European counterparts continue to hold out hope that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can be coaxed into accepting a peaceful transition to democracy. Instead of joining the protesters in demanding Assad's resignation, the U.S. envoy to Damascus, Robert Ford, is encouraging prominent dissidents to hold a dialogue with the regime.

Ultimate Warrior Sends A Video Message To Undisclosed Hard Rock Bands
by Amish Patel - November 07, 2011
Ultimate Warrior has teamed up with Sumerian Records to produce a new reality television series. Sumerian Records released a video message from Warrior regarding the project, which includes the following statement:
The Ultimate Warrior was recently sighted in Los Angeles initiating recruits for the One Warrior Nation. As of now, we've been told that these new recruits are influential and controversial artists from today's hard rock scene. These new recruits have had the courage and intensity to sign away all liability rights for injuries, paralyzations and even death as a result from enlisting.
Nova Entertainment, a professional film/tv crew, caught all of these extreme mind/body/soul training sessions on camera. Civilian witnesses on set have been seen on social networking sites referring to the sessions as "epic life changing events that the word intensity doesn't begin to describe." We have been told…The O.W.N. Revolution will be televised.
The following message from Warrior was reportedly sent to the rock targets prior to his arrival in Los Angeles…

A 46-year-old Youngs-town woman who said she was manhandled and disrespected by Youngstown police has filed a complaint with the department's internal-affairs division.
Vonda Motton, her daughter Shay-Yana Motton, 26, and two grandchildren went to an East Side restaurant for barbecue Monday afternoon, but a 10-minute interaction with Youngstown police left them too shaken to enjoy the meal.
Vonda Motton sat in the car while her daughter entered the McGuffey Road restaurant to pick up the family's food order. As the woman sat in the parking lot, her car was blocked by a Youngstown cruiser, she said.
Vonda said an officer asked for her identification, but before she could retrieve the material, she was taken out of her car, placed face down on the back of the car, handcuffed and taken to the nearby cruiser.
"There was no explanation for anything; [they] just took me to the car, and that is where [I was] made to sit," she said. "I was concerned for the safety of my grandkids and wanted to know what I was being arrested for. I asked him several times, and he just ignored me."
Vonda Motton, who said she has never been in trouble with the law and whose name does not appear in city or county criminal court records, said she felt overwhelmed during the interaction and began to have an asthma attack.
When she asked the officers to retrieve her medication from her car, she said she was ignored.
Shay-Yana Motton came out of the restaurant in time to see her mother in the back of the cruiser asking for her medication. Shay-Yana Motton said the officers told her to stay away from the car as she went to get her children, age 4 and 7.
"I was mad, upset, just hysterical. ... The kids were upset. ... The 4-year-old was crying," she said.
When the officers were informed they had the wrong person, Vonda Motton was freed. She said the officers just drove off without an apology or an explanation.
"I just stood there in the middle of the street in shock," she said. "I have never had anything like that happen before. I want clarity on what happened."
The officers in question have not been charged, and the internal-affairs department is just starting its investigation, police said.
Shay-Yana Motton took pictures of the officers involved and their cruiser. She and her mother went to the police department Thursday and filed a report.
Vonda Motton said the complaint and investigation could have been avoided with simple courtesy from the officers involved.
"You should at least get an apology. I know mistakes happen, but I got none of that. They wouldn't even talk to me," she said.
It would be nice to hear both sides of the story. If the police were looking for someone they could have explained that to her but without hearing both sides we don't know.
If the police thought she was somoene they were looking for, removing her from the car may have been warranted. They may have wanted to make sure she didn't drive off with the children in the car and start a high speed pursuit.
It would be wrong to judge the situation based on one side of the story.
Once again, DwightK is the voice of reason.
It is true we cannot understand what really happened by hearing only one side of this story. However, I wonder if the derf person above would be so flip if something like this happened to him.
She had an asthma attack and was denied her medicine.Sounds fishy to me.
How would anyone reading the story want to be treated in this situation? AN apology was warranted and was not given. The very young children were witness to their grandmother handcuffed and detained for no reason. The victim was restrained and denied medical attention. Not a good way to build a trust relationship with law abiding members of the community.
You have no more rights in this country..the police are free to do anything they want now and they know it..the constitution and bill of rights have been stripped in the last years..no cause needed..no hab corpus ..no speech..was lucky she wasn't view as an enemy combatant and held indefinately without charges..ndaa just most recent law enacted ..maybe soon they will just take us out with a. Drone..oh. wait..they've down that twice to Americans already..wake up people..

India: 350kW rooftop project signed07. January 2013 | Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends | By: Shamsiah Ali-Oettinger
Inspira Martifer Solar, a subsidiary of Martifer Solar will install its first rooftop project in Mahabaleshwar, India.
The 350kW project will be installed on Mapro's food processing factory located in Wai, in the city of Mahabaleshwar.1,210 modules will be installed on flat structures and construction is expected to be completed in February. A total of 50 workers will be employed for the project.
With a capacity to produce 580 MWh/year, the equivalent of the average consumption of 400 families, the installation will prevent the emission of more than 500 tons of carbon dioxide per year into the atmosphere. With a capacity to produce 580 MWh/year, the equivalent of the average consumption of 400 families, the installation will prevent the emission of more than 500 tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere.
"This contract with Mapro Foods confirms two facts: firstly, it proves the competitiveness of photovoltaic solar power in the Indian market, facing other renewable and non-renewable sources. Moreover, it endorses our aim to take a leading position on the rooftops segment, for which we count with the bet of other industrial and commercial sectors in the near future," said Shrirang Bhandiwad, CEO of Inspira Martifer Solar.

09' Team has talent, but 08' Team had more Heart!
Re: 09' Team has talent, but 08' Team had more Heart!
posted at 12/7/2009 11:01 AM ESTIn Response to 09' Team has talent, but 08' Team had more Heart!:How did we have a better team last year with Cassel at Qb. and Hobbs and O'Neal at CB...?!?!? You have to admit the 08 team was less talented..but I wished we had as much heart as this teamI think it all comes down to some bad drafts. 2006-07 especially. In the past several years we have lost Willie, Phifer, Hamilton, Colvin, Johnson, Ty, Dick Seymour, Rodney, Bruschi, and Vrabel. We really haven't done a good job replacing them until 2008-09 drafts. So there is an huge gap with only Wilfork,Warren, and Green (and I guess Banta Cain) carrying the torch from 2003-04. We can't expect the heart to just catch on like an infectious disease. And D-lineman aren't really the excitable types that spark a team like Tedy and Rodney.The cure? We need to bring in guys at leadership positions on D (LB and safety) that, and here is the key, can also MAKE PLAYS. Look how it worked for the Saints (Darren Sharper). Jason Taylor would be great. Peppers would be nice, though not sure he is a leader. Heck, I'd take Joey Porter at this point.

Producer John Scott Tynes gives us a brief look at what the team did in their beta for Halloween and shows off four screenshots of the event itself.
| Our closed beta test has been underway since December of 2005. By the time we launch our beta will have been going for a year and a half, which means we are getting lots of terrific real-world feedback and solving lots of problems. Betas are a lot of work for players and developers alike.
But betas are also fun. Since it was Halloween, we decided to do something a little bit special and celebrate the holiday in style!
Our content lead, Jess Lebow, led the charge. He recruited artists and mission designers to work up some neat stuff and in just two days, we were ready to go. I'll run down the list of nifty things we did in the four new-player towns of Marsh Harbour (pirate), Jenny Bay (British), Barilla (Spanish), and Tampa (French).

LOS ANGELES— "The Iceman" recounts the true story of hit man Richard Kuklinski and the disturbing details of his secret life as a contract killer working for the mob. He was married with two daughters who say they knew nothing about his connections with the mafia or that he was a serial murderer until his arrest in 1986.
Before his death, Kuklinski confessed to killing at least 100 men.
In a gritty and gripping retelling of his life, Israel-born director Ariel Vromen portrays the events leading up to Kuklinski's apprehension, with an all-star cast playing richly detailed characters.
Michael Shannon gives a brilliant performance as the inexorable sociopath who successfully leads a double life as a devoted family man and cold-blooded killer. An almost unrecognizable Chris Evans takes on the role of a mass murderer, who at one point teams up with Kuklinski to kill. Winona Ryder plays the exemplary Catholic girl who marries Kuklinski not knowing who he truly was.
Vromen's film, which opens May 3, was screened opening night at the Sonoma International Film Festival and was met with a positive response despite the gruesome subject matter.
The director sat down with ARTINFO at the event to discuss his movie.
What drew you to do this project?
I didn't know anything about Richard Kuklinski before I saw the documentary on HBO. I was very intrigued by the character. I think the next morning after I saw it I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was captivating. I could not let it go.
What I found so intriguing but disturbing was that he was so detached from murdering people. He looked at killing people like it was just a normal job. Did he really see it that way?
That's what was so fascinating about the character. He was an extreme sociopath. He could not fear, react, [or] feel. He does not have any conscious.
How do you think he hid this life from his family? They honestly didn't know until he was caught?
That's their claim and I choose to believe them. I guess it was easier to kill back then. There was no forensics or CSI. There was no DNA so I think for the world of crime it was easier to hide. I think for his family — you're talking about the '60s and '70s, so the male role of the family was much more of a provider. I think there was an understanding of don't ask don't tell. His wife said in the first documentary that he used to leave the house in the middle of the night and he was claiming that it was part of the job. In the beginning, when he worked at the porn lab, he was under the disguise that he worked for Disney. That was a good cover because they could have had to do prints in the morning. Then later on when he worked as a currency exchange trader, he used to say he had to go into the office to talk to China or to Germany. I think he had the excuse of needing to do international business to leave the house. He never brought it back home. He kept the two worlds separate.
Do you think he was capable of loving his family?
In his own fantasy world, yeah. I don't think he understood what love is really about because he never felt love as a child. I think if you really love someone then you cannot lie to them. So the answer is maybe. I don't know. I never talked to the guy, but from what I've seen, there are emotions coming out of him when he talks about his family. I think it's a hidden compartment in his own soul. I don't know if it's a true love or it's something that's part of his fantasy of having love, family, and security.
Did you ever talk to his wife or daughters?
His daughters, yeah. I text with his wife.
How do they feel about you making the movie?
Well, in the beginning we didn't have contact because they didn't want to be any part of it. Now they just saw the movie and they responded amazingly. Obviously there is a truth and other stories that I don't know and they won't tell. There are also things that to them look differently from what I portrayed, but they really support the film and they are all going to come to the premiere.
What are his daughters like?
His older daughter — her true name is Merrick — is a lovely girl. She's working as a magazine editor in New York and seems like the nicest girl. She's in her 40s now. His younger daughter is more reserved. Christin is her real life name and she lives with her mother. She was more affected by her mother's agony and destruction. I think the older daughter was closer to Kuklinski and she had the strength to move out and move on. She has a family of her own.
There has always been a lot of violence depicted in movies. Given the subject matter of the film, you could have shown several gruesome scenes, but opted not to do so. Talk about your decision to go that route.
I didn't want to glorify violence. I didn't want to glorify him being a sophisticated hit man. That didn't interest me. We've seen so much violence in cinema and there are so many other ways to portray violence in society. Other movies are just body counts and some people look at that and are excited to see a brain explode. I didn't see it helping the movie and that's why we chose not to. The movie is violent by its own accord. It's a true story and there's so much you want to digest. I would think at one point as an audience member you'd lose it.
What I also found interesting about the movie is that you touched upon the fact that he was abused as a child, but you didn't go into a lot of detail about it. Why?
I can tell you many drafts of the script started with his childhood. I had 10 to 15 minutes to deal with it. He was not only abused by his parents, but he was an outsider. It's a famous story, but this guy Johnny was harassing him and bullying him. That was his first murder. He took the closet pole and went downstairs to wait for him. He knocked him down and hit him 48 times.
How old was Richard at the time?
He was 16. I think that would have been a whole different story going from his dad beating him to his first murder. That's a prequel for "The Iceman." I don't think it made it into the movie because it's a statement that I was very afraid to take. I was afraid taking the statement of abuse leads to murder. If it was a story about an abused child that learned how to deal with his abuse and grew up to be an inspiration for an audience…. I would maybe portray it, but because this is an abuse that led into destruction, [I didn't.] The connection between the two of them and making the focus on that abuse I found too disturbing. It was too dangerous of a statement.
The movie takes place over the span of three decades. As a filmmaker, is that challenging for you to shoot?
Yes, it was very challenging especially when you're shooting stuff from the '60s, '70s, and '80s. The terrain is so different than where we live right now. So far I caught two places that are inaccurate in the film. I'm sure they're going to create a website for that. There's a scene where this guy is walking and he's wearing a brand new watch and Oakley sunglasses. When you have 50 to 60 extras and you have to take care of every detail, it's really challenging.
You have assembled an incredible cast, but there were a few surprises like David Schwimmer as a gangster. Talk about casting him and how that came about.
He really wanted to do this film and I was really against it. He kept on calling me and finally I told him, "If you send me a test of what you're going to look like and what you're going to bring to this role, I'll look at it." He's a good theater actor, but in a movie like this he's got to blow people away. He looked great and actually did a great audition. So I said, "OK, I'll take my chances, but I'm telling you right now that I'm going to be asked about that choice for the duration of my life." Quentin Tarantino does it in his movies. It's cool to take risks on actors. As long as you're not hurting the film and I don't think he hurt the film because he had that kind of insecurity that actually David has carried with him since "Friends" that worked for the character. If you cast him as Iceman that would be a different question, but I think for this wannabe gangster Jew it worked.

The Poor Nobodys: Traveling with a band is like herding cats
Photo via artist
Minneapolis bandThe Poor Nobodys tap into that old-timey sound you might find at an outdoor Parisian café on their new album, Ink No Ink. Arriving in the form of pieces that transcend time, the songs feature accordions and upright bass to bring in the old-world flavor, yet has traces of bluegrass in them.
The band is currently touring through Europe, but took the time during a stay in Berlin to talk to Gimme Noise about the origins of their sound and why traveling with so many people is like trying to milk chickens.
Band Members: Chris Hepola (piano), Eric Struve (upright bass), Albert Perez (electric guitar), Christa Schneider (cello, vocals), Aaron Cantine (acoustic guitar, banjo), Chris Duba (mandolin), Jenna Wyse (vocals, accordion)
Gimme Noise: You play what I would deem folk music, but it has so many different inflections. Where do you think these influences came from?
Chris Hepola: We draw on many musical traditions -- both traditional and abstract. I love using acoustic instruments in surprising and unusual ways.
Christa Schneider: Exactly. We like to think outside of the box to try to push the familiar into new territories, and we also try to push our musical abilities into areas that are challenging for us. Blending classical instruments together with folk instruments, I think it just is natural that the sensibilities and ways of playing those. Along with our combined musical experiences, makes these instruments come together to create a varied style of music.
Tracks like "Reality Distortion Field" and "Hologram," -- and a lot of your music -- brings to mind old time Europe. Have you spent a lot of time there? The band is going there to tour with this album as a pre-release. Why did you decide to do it this way? Do you have a big following overseas?
Chris Hepola: I have always loved European folk music, especially Roma and French café music.
Eric Struve: The timing of the European tour and the album release is a coincidence and it amounted to a healthy workload.
Jenna Wyse: Yeah, somehow everything we've been working on happened to wrap up in the same month. We figured we could consider our European tour a "pre-release" and really celebrate the release and our homecoming at the Cedar.
Chris Hepola: We have been touring the U.S. with Poor Nobodys and other bands for over a decade. It seemed exciting to do what we have always done, across the ocean. We love adventure! Europe seems like the next frontier.
Gimme Noise: Have you been to Europe before? What are you most looking forward to seeing?
Chris Hepola: Some of us have been. I love the ancient architecture and street culture.
Eric Struve: Yeah, I am interested in seeing cities, music, streets and buildings.
Christa Schneider: I've been to Europe a number of times and really enjoy seeing the different ways that people live life, whether in the city or in the country. It's always fun to step into a whole culture's everyday life, and on this trip we are going to be stepping into five. I've never been in Amsterdam and Paris, and am excited to experience those cities. My German is getting a workout right now!
Jenna Wyse: This is my first time in Europe! Already we've met quite a few musicians at the clubs and hostels we've been to. I guess I'm most excited about that- meeting like-minded folks and playing the music -- and trying out the languages.
Gimme Noise: What's it like traveling with so many people? Is it difficult coordinating that many people even in town?
Chris Hepola: It is like herding cats or stuffing chicken wire into a burlap sack.
Albert Perez: Or milking chickens.
Jenna Wyse: Yes, it is difficult! Scheduling, making decisions and trying to still be democratic about it. The group has a good energy, though and can improvise in any given situation. Already, we've had to do some troubleshooting here in Berlin.
Chris Hepola: It can get confusing, but it works because we want it to.
Gimme Noise: With so much work that goes into this band, what makes it rewarding to you to work within this particular group of people?
Eric Struve: It's rewarding to be a part of a band that is interested in creating music that I find adventurous and exploratory.
Chris Hepola: We are very open about changing the arrangements and working together for a good outcome. We don't worry about a genre; we care very much about creating our own musical sound and vocabulary.
Jenna Wyse: Yes, we all view this band as an outlet, I think. The music is so our own. Also, not musically speaking, I can't think of other people l'd want to run around Europe with.
Gimme Noise: There are some tracks with no lyrics. How do you know when to keep a track purely instrumental? Is it easier or more difficult to tell a story without lyrics?
Albert Perez: We've been writing a lot of music for film over the past few years.
Chris Hepola: Some of our music is specifically meant to be instrumental and written for film, while other songs are vocally driven from the start.
Jenna Wyse: Sometimes the idea for a song takes shape pretty quickly and it can be difficult to create a vocal line on top of it. We all run into that obstacle, though. Trying to figure out where to fit and leaving enough space for everyone else works the best for us. Even the lyrics don't add much to the story that is already there in the song -- it ends up being just another instrument.
Gimme Noise: What is your favorite track off the new album?
Chris Hepola: "Dark Fast Walt," I wanted to write an epic build like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but vocally driven with many interlocking melodies.
Jenna Wyse: I am excited to hear this whole album on vinyl. Like Chris said, some of these songs really take their time and the two-sides you get with vinyl helps that flow. We have a song like "Dark Fast Walt" and then something quirky and light like "Amusements." I love "Waking Still Asleep" because it's got that throw-back feel and I get to sing with our cellist, Christa.
Gimme Noise: What can we expect to see at the album release show at the Cedar?
Chris Hepola: We will be performing live with projections of abstract films by local filmmakers. We hope to create an open atmosphere that allows people to get what they want out of the music. We are also collaborating with local artists to create a feeling of being surrounded by art, film, music and creative energy.
The Poor Nobodys will release Ink No Ink at the Cedar Cultural Center on Saturday, May 31, 2014 with the Murder of Crows and Anonymous Choir.

South African Court Rejects Attempt To Stop Work At Tronox Fairbreeze Mine
South Africa, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tronox Limited (NYSE: TROX) today announced that the Durban High Court "dismissed with costs" an application filed by the Mtunzini Conservancy for an injunction to halt early-phase construction at the company's Fairbreeze mine project in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051118/TRONOXLOGO-a)The point of law under inspection by the court related to whether the Fairbreeze mine had lawfully commenced mining related operations in light of provisions contained in the Town Planning Ordinance 27 of 1949. In its judgment, the High Court affirmed Tronox's legal position that the South African Minerals Act 50 of 1991 governed mining at the commencement of the Fairbreeze project and trumped all other legislation (barring specific other national legislation) prevailing at the time. The High Court found that 1991 Minerals Act provides sufficient legislative checks and balances for government administrators to regulate the industry and that additional regulation under the Town Planning Ordinance of 1949 was not required. The High Court also ruled that the Mtunzini Conservancy must pay legal costs of Tronox which included costs of counsel in responding to the application. As a result of the judgment, Tronox continues with early-phase construction of the Fairbreeze mine. This phase entails site establishment of the platforms for the primary wet plant site as well as temporary and permanent access roads. Tronox must still obtain its Water Use License before ramping up to full-scale construction and mine operation. Once in operation the Fairbreeze mine is expected to yield 190,000 metric tons of titanium dioxide ore and 60,000 metric tons of zircon over a 12-year period. The Fairbreeze mine will preserve more than 1,000 permanent and contractor positions and create an additional 1,000 indirect jobs during the construction phase of the project. Approximately ZAR530 million will be spent annually on services and products, with more than half spent with black economic empowerment (BEE) companies. Tronox is committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability in all aspects of its business operations. The company has included environmental sustainability considerations in its plan for Fairbreeze and has begun the rehabilitation of its Hillendale mine, which Fairbreeze is designed to replace.

New Berlin - Developer MSP Real Estate has inquired about what it has to do to make its newly proposed 75-unit apartment in the New Berlin City Center acceptable to the Plan Commission, which last week turned down the plan on a split vote.
MSP has contacted city staff, but whether the firm is willing to alter its proposal isn't certain.
"Will they tweak it? I don't know," Mayor Jack Chiovatero said Monday.
The city's concerns were more definitive, though not unanimous.
The MSP proposal was denied on a 4-2 vote, with Chiovatero and commissioners Marta Broge, Jenalyn Groeschel and Mark Mattes voting to deny and Brian Felda and Robert Rafel voting for the plan.
Trafficking concerns
Commissioners expressed concerns about several aspects of the plan for 14900 W. Library Lane, in the City Center neighborhood off National Avenue. Traffic was one key concern.
Some officials expressed their disappointment that all the traffic from the proposed apartments would be funneled to Michelle Witmer Way, adding to a concern that the apartments in general would generate a lot of traffic.
Chiovatero said after the meeting that he voted to deny because he wanted the building's two parking lots connected so that cars could get directly onto National Avenue from the driveway at the more easterly lot behind the building. Under the current building plan, all cars would have to take Library Lane to Michelle Witmer and then out to National Avenue.
But the mayor said he didn't agree with others who were shocked at all the traffic the 75 apartments would add.
Broge was one of those who is concerned.
"It's a nightmare now on National Avenue and we're going to add 1,300 trips a day," Broge said, noting it's hard to get out of neighboring Culver's restaurant now.
Another commissioner concurred, stating he doesn't even go to that Culver's because of the traffic.
But a traffic study shows the intersection of National and Witmer can handle the additional traffic from all five buildings, said planner Jessica Titel.
"One commissioner also noted that Deer Creek Parkway ends at what would be the east parking lot of the proposed building, meaning the street would never go through to National Avenue to bring better access to the City Center.
Currently, there are three entrances and a fourth circuitous one on Wilbur Drive. Groeschel pointed out that two more roads had been planned to go through to National - Deer Creek Parkway and Howard Avenue. But it's doubtful that either will go through, Chiovatero said.
Squeezed space?
Some also were unhappy that the proposed apartments would be so close to the National Avenue edge of the City Center in an area where city officials hoped stores could be built to promote interest in the entire center. One commissioner even wondered if the lots that would be left on National Avenue would be large enough for stores.
Groeschel also noted that it's too bad the apartments are planned so close to National Avenue.
But that cannot be part of the Plan Commission considerations because zoning allows multi-family housing, advised city attorney Mark Blum.
The 75-unit apartment building is the second phase of MSP's Deer Creek development. The first phase was the controversial project consisting of three 34-unit buildings of workforce development apartments for lower-income residents and one 34-unit senior citizen building. Controversy over workforce housing landed the city and developer in court.
The proposed 75-unit building would have 15 workforce apartments. The rest would have rents at the market value.

Oklahoma football recruiting: Sooners close strong with DB Zack Sanchez
When the Sooners lost cornerback commitments De'Vante Harris and Kevin Peterson in the final weeks before signing day, recruiting in the secondary over the final moments before singing day was at a premium.
Zack Sanchez, out of Keller, Texas, wound up being a big part of Oklahoma's strong close at the position.
Sanchez had wanted and offer from the Sooners for awhile but when it didn't look like it was coming, he committed to Baylor in July.
But when things started opening back up in January — and with some changes on the OU coaching staff — the Sooners made a final run at Sanchez.
After a visit last weekend, Sanchez made his switch official on Monday with an announcement on Twitter.
Sanchez (6-foot-0, 172 pounds) was borderline to pick up an offer from Baylor over the summer but after strong performances in camps, was offered by the Bears and committed shortly afterward.
He continued to improve as a senior, as a two-way standout. Sanchez had 41 catches for 944 yards and 15 total touchdowns this year. He picked off nine passes, returning two for touchdowns, had 30 tackles and broke up eight passes during the regular season.
He also helped Central to the UIL playoffs for the first time.

Alright SSFG, I'm feeling the need. The want. The yearning for another project.
The problem, however, is that I have two bikes that serve the same purpose, essentially.
Exhibit A---Commuter/lock up bike
Exhibit B---My "Go fast" bike
Run them at different ratios, but I'm feeling the urge for a MTB, or city bike. Another commuter, of sorts. With racks and a rigid frame, but no cantilever brakes. There's no need in my area.
I have the option to take hold of a free NEXT frame---Boxstore brand---minus wheels and it has rusted components. But I have enough parts to make it come to fruition.
I'm conflicted. And the CL in the area offers no hope. One page goes all the way back to Dec. All pretty much the same frame.

Light distortion pedal?
Hey guys, I need your help. I got a BOSS Metalcore which is cool for everything metal, which I play the most. I joined a church band (lol), and sometimes we use distortion, but this thing is too powerful for that, and if you just turn down the gain you get a thin crappy sound, and even then it sounds too agressive.
SO, good pedals for this kind of job? Was thinking in a BOSS Blues Driver or a Wylde Overdrive. Thanks in advance :peace:
maybe too low of gain but i love my zendrive. if you want more, you want a timmy.
+311 to cath
Wampler Ecstasy Drive? Think it is now called Euphoria.
(yes i am that jackass here), but you would probably be best off with an amp upgrade at some point in time. i would save for a new amp and try to get by without the OD.
what channel are you planning to run the pedal through?
I agree with the amp upgrade, but if you think your amp is decent enough I've been loving this yellow guy lately.
I totally agree with you.
But I have to point out, I love how all of us in GG&A pressure everyone into a new amp. :D
Next thread we'll see will be asking for a good quality lead and we'll recommend them a Mark V. :p:
Btw, what amp are you running?
It is the right thing to do. Go to Jemsite, you'll see people running J Custom Ibanez into Marshall MGs. Absolutely crushing!
Also TS, what amp?
been very happy with my signa drive. now using it moreso as a boost and its still great with a tube amp for that.
for like 135 its really hard to beat.
i have liked their demos. may pick up a used price at some point if i am looking for another OD.
I owned a Wylde OD and I have only good things to say about it. It does the tube-y low gain blues crunch sound wonderfully and then if you crank the gain you can coax some decently heavy Marshall-esque tones out of it. Nothing too over the top like you get from your Metalcore but keep in mind that on top of your amps overdrive, this pedal can scream. I'd say its comparable to a Boss SD-1 but much more transparent. It doesn't color your amp at all like the Boss.
And if price is not an issue, you could always go with what I consider the holy grail of OD's. The BB Preamp. :D
I really liked the Xotic RC Booster.
Lovepedal OD11 is a very nice and budget friendly one as well.
But with that Marshall MG you're better off getting a new amp.
I am not sure if the amp was ever mentioned???
I'd suggest one of the multi-level overdrives so you can dial in more than one channel and switch between them. Somethink like a Sansamp TRI-AC, Tech21 Double Drive 3X, Marshall Jackhammer, Marshall Guv'nor, H&K Tubeman, Blackstar HT-Dual.
If it is a tube amp you can probably just get away with a mild overdrive, something along the lines of a Blues Driver or a TS clone. I like the Voodoolab Sparkle Drive in that category.
His profile says MG.
Either the Boss Blues Driver or the Zakk Wylde overdrive will suffice, but a new amp would be optimal. I've heard a guy use an MG for church(ish) stuff. He was using a metalzone for distortion and it sounded epic (not). Any overdrive pedal suggested up to this point will be better than the metalcore pedal, but ultimately be about the same. I was like you. I thought my solid state amp was awesome sauce...then I heard it through in-ear monitors....disgusting...
My amp is a Marshall MG 30 DFX (yeah, pretty lame), but I usually connect the guitar directly to the mixer (Sounds ok for the job). Trust me, connecting the amp using the headphone output is even worse... So that's why the metalcore sounds so dull. Also, I sure want a new amp, but I'm poor and can't get a job :(
Just get a Line6 POD or a Vox Tonelab or something....for less than the cost of a good OD pedal you could dial up pretty much any tone you want.

Google Investors Might Take Another Look At The Motorola Mobility Deal
NEW YORK, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Investor Uprising, the individual investor's no-nonsense resource for global business trends and investment ideas, has published a news story analyzing the investor outlook for Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI). After Google announced the deal to buy Motorola Mobility last summer, its stock price suffered because of fears the large acquisition would squeeze profit margins. Since then, Google shares have rebounded, reflecting apparent optimism that the deal would not permanently change Google.However, Investor Uprising Editor in Chief R. Scott Raynovich points out that the deal could be transformative in nature, turning Google into a lower-margin hardware company with many execution risks. "A closer look reveals that Google shares may not actually reflect the most negative scenario," writes Raynovich in his IU blog. Analysts and investors still appear worried that the sizable transaction could drag down Google's margins and cause the company to deviate from its core software focus, though shares may not actually reflect these risks. Although the deal has received regulatory approval from the federal government, several other regulatory decisions are still pending. The deal is expected to close in the next few months.

PucamayoProspective for: Gold/Silver
In March 2015 a Declarión de Impacto Ambiental, or a "DIA", was received from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for the Pucamayo East project. The DIA permits the Company or assignee to complete up to 20 drillholes at Pucamayo East. With the receipt of the DIA, the Company is actively considering its strategic options to advance the Pucamayo East project.
In early 2015, the Company acquired by staking a 3 km by 1 km concession, named Anta Rumi 101, located south of, and contiguous to, the southern border of the Pucaymayo 14 concession (Pucamayo East). This concession is of strategic value as earlier rock geochem sampling on the southern border of Pucamayo 14 had produced strongly anomalous gold and silver results.
The 54 sq km Pucamayo project is located 180 km SE of Lima at an elevation of 3800 to 4200 m, in the Department of Ica, and in the Tertiary volcanic belt hosting several major epithermal gold deposits in Peru. Pucamayo is about 56kms south-south west of the Corihuarmi gold-silver mine of Minera IRL Limited, and about 25 kms east of the Cerro Lindo lead-zinc-copper mine of Compañía Minera Milpo S.A.A.
85% interest in 36 sq km where the vendor holds a 1% net smelter returns royalty, and a 15% interest carried to commercial production. Condor has the right to purchase the royalty at any time for US$2 million. The property vendor's interest is fully-carried and non-contributing until the completion of a feasibility study, at which time the property vendor will receive an additional 1 million shares. All costs incurred by Condor on behalf of the property vendor following completion of the feasibility study will be recouped with interest from the property vendor's 15% share of production proceeds.
Three concessions (18 sq km total) at Pucamayo East were acquired by staking and are held 100% by Condor.
Previous Work:
• A new discovery by Condor geologists in late 2009, highlighted by two distinct zones.
• High grade 'bonanza-style' gold-silver mineralization with channel samples up to 86.6 (g/t) Au over 3 meters (m) and 5.85 g/t Au over 10m in the West Zone.
• In the East Zone, channel samples up to 0.95 g/t Au and 343 g/t Ag over 5m.
• The size of the targets and the extensive anomalous gold and silver mineralization suggest potential for the discovery of one or more economic gold-silver deposits.
• Phase 1 drill program at Pucamayo West was completed in March -- April of 2011.
• Highlights of the drill program included values of 340.9g/t Ag, 0.62g/t Au, 1.80% Cu, 1.77% Pb, and 2.27% Zn over 2.2 m in hole PUC-004.
• The majority of the drill holes successfully intersected the quartz-carbonate veins surrounded on the hangingwall and footwall by silicification with quartz-sulphide veinlets.
• The mineralization at Pucamayo West remains open along strike as well as at depth, and below fluvioglacial cover.
The property covers two epithermal precious metals targets: the West Zone, a low to intermediate sulphidation, 'bonanza-potential' multi-phase vein system within an area covering approximately 4 sq km, and 8km to the northeast, the East Zone, an intermediate to high sulphidation potential disseminated bulk tonnage target measuring 1.2 km long by 200m to 700m in width.
West Zone
The West Zone comprises a total of five NW and NE trending multi-phase quartz-carbonate replacement veins, the largest of which has been traced for 1500m along strike with an average width of 15m to 25m. Much of the area is covered by recent unconsolidated sediments and gravel, but where exposed, channel samples have returned values of up to 86.6 g/t Au and 84.8 g/t Ag over 3m, 5.85 g/t Au and 1.69 g/t Ag over 10m, 2.0 g/t Au and 85.1 g/t Ag over 3m, 3.1 g/t Au and 7.31 g/t Ag over 2m and 2.9 g/t Au and 21 g/t Ag over 3m. These results are typical of 'bonanza style' gold and silver systems which host potential for very high grades such as at the multi-million ounce El Penon gold-silver deposit in northern Chile and the Orcopampa district in Southern Peru. Surface sampling at varying topographic elevations suggests that grades increase at lower elevations, considered a positive indicator for higher subsurface grades in these bonanza epithermal vein systems. All veins are open for extension along strike and down-dip.
East Zone
The East Zone is located 8km northeast of the West Zone, and is characterized by an erosion window which has partially exposed a high sulphidation epithermal system with disseminated precious metals mineralization covering an area approximately 1.2 km long by 200m to 700m in width and a surrounding series of at least seven epithermal quartz veins. The East Zone remains open in all directions. Part of this target is comprised of a quartz vein stockwork and hydrothermal breccias with vuggy silica and silicified fissures or ledges with pervasive disseminated secondary iron oxides. The hydrothermal breccias are exposed in outcrop over an area of 350m by 100m and continue below recent glacial fluvial sediments. A total of 119 chip and channel samples were collected over the East Zone and results range from negligible to a high of 0.96 g/t gold and 554 g/t silver. Channel samples within the breccias returned values of up to 0.95 g/t Au and 343 g/t Ag over 5m, 0.93 g/t Au and 394 g/t Ag over 5m, and 0.53 g/t Au and 216 g/t Ag over 4m. A 1m channel sample across one of the banded quartz-carbonate veins returned 0.36 g/t Au, 554 g/t Ag, 1.40% Cu, 29.20% Pb and 21.20% Zn.

I was temporarily entranced by its simple beauty, which is how I came within striking distance of one extremely unsociable rattlesnake. The hissing of a hyperactive rattle burst into my consciousness, and I jumped back when I saw the diamond-shaped head cocked and ready to strike. As usual, that was too close. The intolerant creature glared balefully at me from the side of the trail, then turned and slinked down into the brush, giving its tail one last violent shake before it disappeared. Well, I didnt know there were rattlesnakes in Yosemite National Park, but I do now.

Apprenticeship program says 'you're hired!'
August 28, 2009
By Don Robbins, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Public Affairs
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - Career-oriented students met at the Teen Center, here, to obtain information about an innovative apprenticeship program offering not only real-life work experience, but paid jobs to local teens, Aug. 10-14.
The Child, Youth and School Services (CYS2) program "Hired!" provides teens ages 15-18 with meaningful, professionally managed career-exploration opportunities within U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii (USAG-HI) Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) operations along with paid work experience and training.
Vicky Agbayani, workforce preparation specialist, met with students at Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, and Aliamanu and Helemano Military reservations to introduce the "Hired!" candidates to the program and the jobs available.
Leilehua High School student Darius Lindsey, 16, attended a brief looking for an avenue for achieving his goals and possibly to find a job.
"It's a good program. If you're looking to become a more mature teenager, you should take a look at it," said Lindsey. "My goal is to learn about being on my own, to live responsibly, take care of myself and be an adult."
His mother, Spc. Sheena Smith, told Lindsey about the program in hopes that it would increase his confidence when looking for a job.
Lindsey, who likes basketball and football, said he would like to pursue a career in military intelligence.
"I'm a sports guy," he said, telling Agbayani that he would like to obtain an apprenticeship in sports or some field working in the outdoors.
High school students accepted into the apprenticeship are placed in 12-week positions within FMWR under the guidance of a dedicated on-site mentor.
Through the program, teen apprentices are also encouraged to participate in college-level workshops through CYS2.
Some of the fields the apprentices can explore are education, marketing, graphic design, library and information science, and sports management.
Positions are offered at the bowling center, in the FMWR marketing office, at the golf course, outdoor recreation and other facilities.
Victoria Maghanoy, 16, is another student who met with Agbayani about the "Hired!" program.
"I want to become a pastry chef and go to a four-year college," said the Leilehua High School 11th-grader. She hopes to be hired as an apprentice at the Nehelani Banquet and Conference Center at Schofield Barracks.
During the 12-week apprenticeship, Maghanoy wants to learn how to prepare food for parties. Her ultimate goal is to open her own business as a pastry chef.
Maghanoy attended a filming of the Food Network show "Ace of Cakes" at Schofield Barracks, earlier this year, where the cast created a Black Hawk helicopter cake for Soldiers and their families.
"They signed my rolling pin," Maghanoy said.
"Hired!" and another FMWR-partnered program called "Edge" (Experience, Develop, Grow and Excel) are under the umbrella of a larger program called "Venturepoint," Agbayani explained.
The programs assist the garrison by bridging the gap between homeschool, private and public school students, she said.
They also allow all on-base tools to be used, maximizing resources, added Agbayani.
Venturepoint is designed to increase child and youth participation, enhance program experiences for Army families and to support the commitments outlined in the Army Family Covenant - a pledge recognizing the increasing sacrifices that Army families are making and a commitment to provide Soldiers and families a quality of life that is commensurate with their service.
The deadline for Term 1 apprenticeship applications for the "Hired!" program is Aug. 31. For more information, call Vicky Agbayani at 655-0445 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
