[Student Code of Conduct]
Charges and Investigations
- Any member of the University community may file charges against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared in writing and directed to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. Any charge should be submitted as soon as possible after the event takes place, preferably within one month (28 days) of the knowledge of occurrence.
- Any judicial investigator, who has reason to believe that a violation of the Code of Student Conduct may have occurred, is authorized to begin an investigation in the same manner as if a written complaint had been received. The Office of Student Judicial Affairs may investigate and charge students or organizations with misconduct when that office has reason to believe that a violation may have occurred.
- A judicial Investigator or judicial body may issue a summons for a student or organization to appear for discussions about a case or for a hearing in a pending case. The summons may also include an order to produce records which may be helpful in the course of an investigation or in the prosecution of a case.
- The judicial investigator may conduct an investigation to determine if the charges have merit and/or if they can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the judicial investigator, subject to the approval of the judicial administrator. Such disposition shall be final and there shall be no subsequent proceedings.
- All charges shall be presented to the accused student in written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five nor more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been notified. Maximum time limits for scheduling of hearings may be extended at the discretion of the judicial administrator.
- Hearings shall be conducted by a judicial body according to the following guidelines. A
hearing officer shall exercise all the powers attributable to the chairperson of the judicial
body as described below. Student organizations shall have all the rights of students listed
herein, which shall be exercised by the president of the organization.
- Hearings normally shall be conducted in private. At the request of the accused student, and subject to the discretion of the chairperson of the judicial body, a representative of the student press may be admitted, but shall not have the privilege of participating in the hearing.
- Admission of any person to the hearing shall be at the discretion of the chairperson of the judicial body.
- In hearings involving more than one accused student, the chairperson of the judicial body, in his or her discretion, may permit the hearings concerning each student to be conducted separately.
- The accused has the right to be assisted by any advisor he/she may choose, at their own expense. The advisor may be an attorney. The accused is responsible for presenting his or her own case, and, therefore, advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate directly in any hearing before a Judicial Body.
- The judicial investigator and the accused shall have the privilege of presenting witnesses, subject to the right of cross-examination by the other party and by the Judicial Body.
- Pertinent records, exhibits, and written statements may be accepted as evidence for consideration by a judicial body at the discretion of the chairperson.
- All procedural questions are subject to the final decision of the chairperson of the judicial body.
- After the hearing, the judicial body shall deliberate in private and shall determine (by majority vote if the judicial body consists of more than one person) whether the student has violated the Code of Student Conduct as charged.
- The judicial body's determination shall be made on the basis of whether there is substantial evidence that the accused student violated the Code of Student Conduct.
- There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape recording, of all hearings before a judicial body. The record shall be the property of the University.
- Except in the case of a student charged with failing to obey the summons of a judicial body or University official, no student may be found to have violated the Code of Student Conduct solely because the student failed to appear before a judicial body. In all cases, the evidence in support of the charges shall be presented and considered.
- The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the Student
- Warning—a notice in writing to the student.
- Probation—a written reprimand for violation for specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to be violating any University regulation(s) during the probationary period.
- Loss of Privileges—denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
- Fines—previously established and published fines may be imposed.
- Restitution—compensation for loss, damage, or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement.
- Discretionary sanctions—work assignments, service to the University, or other related discretionary assignments (such assignments must have the prior approval of the judicial administrator).
- Residence hall suspension—separation of the student from the residence halls for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified.
- Residence hall expulsion—permanent separation of the student from the residence halls.
- University suspension—separation of the student from the University for a definite period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified.
- The following sanctions may be imposed upon any organization found to have violated the
Code of Student Conduct:
- Any of the sanctions listed in paragraphs 1(a) through 1(f) above.
- Loss of recognition as a registered student organization. The Office of the Dean of Students shall notify any national or regional governing body with which the organization is associated or which sponsors social, academic, or sports events when such suspension is imposed.
- More than one of the sanctions listed above may be imposed for any single violation.
- When a judicial body determines that a student has violated the Code of Student Conduct, the judicial body shall recommend a sanction to be imposed to the judicial administrator. The judicial administrator shall review the facts in the case, shall review any prior violations of the Code by the student, and shall determine the appropriate sanction to be imposed. The judicial administrator is not limited to sanctions recommended by the judicial body. The judicial administrator shall advise the student in writing of the sanction(s) imposed.
- A decision reached by the judicial body or a sanction imposed by the judicial administrator may be appealed by a student to an appellate board within five (5) school days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the judicial administrator or his or her designee.
- Except as required to explain the basis of new evidence, an appeal shall be limited to review
of the verbatim record of the initial hearing and supporting documents for one or more of
the following purposes:
- To determine whether the original hearing was conducted fairly in light of the charges and evidence presented, and in conformity with prescribed procedures giving the accused student a reasonable opportunity to prepare and to present a defense to the allegations of the misconduct.
- To determine whether the decision reached regarding the accused student was based on substantial evidence, that is, whether the facts in the case were sufficient to establish that a violation of the Code of Student Conduct occurred.
- To determine whether the sanction (s) imposed were appropriate for the violation of the Code of Student Conduct which the student was found to have committed.
- To consider new evidence, sufficient to alter a decision, or other relevant facts not brought out in the original hearing, because such evidence and/or acts were not known to the person appealing at the time of the original hearing.
- If an appeal is upheld by the appellate board, the matter shall be remanded to the original judicial body or the judicial administrator to allow reconsideration of the original determination.
- Review of the sanction by the appellate board may not result in more severe sanction(s) for the accused student or organization. Instead, following an appeal, the vice president of student affairs or other designee may, upon review of the case, reduce, but not increase, the sanctions imposed by the judicial administrator.
Disciplinary Records
Disciplinary sanctions shall not be made part of the student's permanent academic record, but shall become part of the student's confidential record. Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than University suspension shall be expunged from the student's confidential record seven years from the year in which the offense occurred.
Interim Suspension
In certain circumstances, the vice president for student affairs, or a designee, may impose a University or residence-hall suspension prior to the hearing before a judicial body.
- Interim suspension may be imposed only
- to ensure the safety and well-being of members of the University community or preservation of University property
- to ensure the student's own physical or emotional safety and well being
- if the student poses a definite threat of disruption of or interference with the normal operations of the University
- During an interim suspension, the student shall be denied access to the residence halls and/or to the campus (including classes) and/or all other University activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible, as the vice president for student affairs, or a designee, may determine to be appropriate.
- Upon a student's request, a review of the interim suspension shall be held by the vice president for student affairs or other designee, within three (3) working-days of the interim suspension to determine if the suspension should continue until a hearing by a judicial body on the charge of misconduct is held.
Interim Suspension of an Organization
- The vice president for student affairs or other designee may temporarily suspend the recognition of a student organization when the pending charges arise from a flagrant violation of this code, such as organizational conduct which is a violation of law and/or this Code, or when the conduct represents a flagrant disregard of the rights or property of persons in the University community, or when the conduct is in flagrant disregard of the property or authority of the University.
- During the interim suspension, the organization shall discontinue all activities.
- A hearing will be held by the vice president for student affairs or a designee, within three (3) working-days of the interim suspension to determine if the suspension should continue until a hearing by a judicial body on the charge of misconduct is held.

Reflex, I am also in the market for a new scope. I would be interested in what you purchase! Keep us updated. I am unsure on what to mount on a new Browning x-bolt 30-06 i recently purchased. Great Thread!
I usually go with Leupold, but might be looking for something new on this one. Have never had any issues with Leupold, very good scopes!
What is your budget and intended hunting use? Type of game? Type of country? Intended ranges? Time of day?
With that info I can put some thought into some suggestions for you.
I would like to stay within 2-400 dollar range...i think for the capabilities of this gun that is a fair price range...Western big game(elk, deer, etc.) I think the 30-06 out of the box is limited to 400 yds and under, 400 pushing it with alot of practice.
$400 will get you into some pretty nice glass.
The optical king of the heap at that price point is this:
If you want to shoot to 400 yards you are going to need to adjust your aim for the trajectory of the bullet. You can use a scope with a standard duplex style reticle, like the above scope, and adjust the elevation turret in the field; or you can get a scope with a BDC style reticle, or a scope with externally adjustable "tactical" or "target" turrets. You don't need a lot of magnification to shoot 400 yards and in.
Some scope options for you:
Any of those scopes would work well for you. BDC reticles are incredibly effective, if you put the time in to "tune" them in to your rifle and ammunition. I own a Zeiss Conquest and a Vortex Viper, and recommend both. The Vortex BDC is very "clean" and easy to use. The glass on the zeiss is fantastic. The Leupold VX-II will have a bit poorer glass than the others, but is still a good scope.
would you say that the Vortex offers a better product than Nikon or Leupold. Someone said they're warranty was better.
Vortex's warranty is the best there is, but Leupold's is pretty good too. As far as the products themselves, I think the Vortex is a better overall product than the Leupold VX-2 line, and more of a competitor in the more expensive Leupold VX-3 line. I think the Nikon Monarch and Viper are pretty much of equal quality. Nikon's Customer Service has been hit-or-miss for some people, but the products are pretty good. I like the fact that they are an Eastman's sponsor.
The best scope I listed is still the Zeiss, and it is one you should consider carefully.
If you are looking for an absolute barn-burning screaming deal, the 2-7X32 Viper is on sale for ridiculously low prices right now, although finding the BDC reticle is going to be hard with that one, as they are mostly sold out.
I have the 2-7X32 Viper with BDC on my backpacking rifle, and it is a dandy (And I paid much more than they are going for now).

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- You've got problems and we're getting you solutions.
Our WUSA 9 Call For Action team is at work helping to solve your consumer issues.
Michael in Greenbelt, Maryland bought a dishwasher from Sears that stopped working 9 days before the warranty expired. Technicians repaired it, but left him with a $370 bill saying that the warranty had expired. Well, he contacted the company which admitted he should not have been charged. It promised to refund his money. But five months later, he still hadn't received the check. He contacted our WUSA 9 Call For Action team. We called Sears and they did send Michael a check for $370.
Melissa in D.C. tried to solve her problem with Living Social on her own, but go nowhere. she purchased a $149 spa deal and scheduled her appointment several weeks in advance. But, the salon called just hours before her appointment to cancel. Melissa spent months calling and emailing the daily deal sit trying to get her money back. She reached out to WUSA 9 Call For Action, and within weeks Living Social offered her an apology, some extra Living Social bucks and refunded her $149.
And Mechanicsville, Maryland couple, Malcolm and Lily McGwire purchased a 3-piece sofa set from a local furniture store. But the sofa started peeling and cracking less than a year after they bought it. Well, after endless calls back and forth with the company, they contacted our team. And, just like the McGuires, the company gave us the runaround,too. But with persistence, WUSA 9 Call For Action got the company to ship the retired couple a brand new $800 sofa. Problem solved.
We want to solve your problems, too. Contact our WUSA 9 Call For Action team.
You can file a complaint online 24 hours a day on our website, wusa9.com, just click on the Call For Action link here.

Parents - Looking for a loan for your child?
It's important to explore your options. Click here to learn about the differences between the Sallie Mae Smart Option Student Loan® and the PLUS Loan for Parents.
Encouraging Responsible Borrowing
Sallie Mae has helped more than 34 million Americans pay for college since 1972. We encourage students and families to supplement their savings by exploring grants, scholarships, and federal and state student loans, and to consider the anticipated monthly payments on their total student loan debt and their expected future earnings before considering a private education loan.
This information is for borrowers attending degree-granting institutions only. You must attend a participating school or have attended one in an eligible prior enrollment period. You must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident or a Non-U.S. citizen borrower who is attending or has attended a school located in the U.S. applying with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) and required U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) documentation. U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled in eligible study abroad programs or who are attending or have attended schools located outside the U.S. are also eligible. Applications are subject to a requested minimum loan amount of $1,000. Current credit and other eligibility criteria apply.
1 Sallie Mae reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount than the school certified amount.
2 Borrowers and cosigners may receive their FICO® Score quarterly after the first disbursement of their loan. FICO® Scores are delivered only to borrowers and cosigners who have an available score, are based on data from TransUnion, and may be different from other credit scores. This benefit may change or end in the future. FICO® is a registered trademark of the Fair Isaac Corporation in the United States and other countries.
3 Interest rates for the Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options are higher than interest rates for the Interest Repayment Option. Variable rates may increase after consummation. Interest is charged while you are in school and during the 6-month separation period. Unpaid Interest will be added to the Current Principal when you enter principal and interest repayment.
4 This informational repayment example uses typical loan terms available to a freshman borrower who elects the Fixed Repayment Option and has a $10,000.00 loan with two disbursements and a 7.44% variable APR: 51 payments of $25 per month, 119 payments of $143.06, and one payment of $115.21, for a Total Loan Cost of $18,414.35.
5 Savings based on typical loan to a freshman.
6 Primary borrower must enroll in Upromise to be eligible to earn a reward into his or her active Upromise account of 2% of the Current Amount Due in each month it is paid on-time during the in-school and separation periods. If paid ahead, the reward will be based on the regularly scheduled monthly payment amount. The loan must remain current to be eligible for the reward. The Smart Reward Benefit and Upromise membership are subject to the terms and conditions of the Upromise service, as may be amended from time to time. Terms and conditions apply to the Upromise service. Participating companies, contribution levels and terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice. Go to Upromise.com to learn more. Upromise accounts are not FDIC insured, carry no bank guarantee and may lose value.
7 Either the borrower or cosigner (not both) must enroll in auto debit through Sallie Mae. The rate reduction benefit applies only during active repayment for as long as the Current Amount Due is successfully deducted from the designated bank account each month and is suspended during forbearances and certain deferments.
8 Based on a December 15, 2015 review of competitors' loan programs and repayment features.
9 Available for loans made to students attending a degree-granting institution. Graduated Repayment Period (GRP) allows interest-only payments for the initial 12-month period of repayment when the loan would normally begin requiring full principal and interest payments (which typically begins six months after graduation) or during the 12-month period after GRP request is granted, whichever is later. At the time of GRP request, the loan must be current and the borrower must have graduated with no interruption in enrollment and not be more than 30 days delinquent on any student loan. The borrower may request GRP only during the two billing periods immediately preceding and the two billing periods immediately after the loan would normally begin requiring full principal and interest payments. GRP does not extend the loan term. If approved for GRP, the Current Amount Due that is required to be paid each month after the GRP will be higher than it otherwise would have been without GRP, and the Total Loan Cost will increase.
10 Only the borrower may apply for cosigner release. Borrowers who meet the age of majority in their state may apply for cosigner release by providing proof of graduation (or completion of certification program), income, and U.S. citizenship or permanent residency (if your status has changed since you applied). In the last 12 months, the borrower must be current on all Sallie Mae serviced loans (including no hardship forbearances or modified repayment programs) and have paid ahead or made 12 on-time principal and interest payments on each loan requested for release. When the cosigner release application is processed, the borrower must demonstrate the ability to assume full responsibility of the loan(s) individually, and pass a credit review that demonstrates a satisfactory credit history including but not limited to no: open bankruptcy, open foreclosure, student loan(s) in default or 90 day delinquencies in the last 24 months. Requirements are subject to change.
Smart Option Student Loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank or a lender partner.

Le Mars (1-0) 5 Denison-Schleswig 1
(LE MARS) -- Senior Chris Eckstaine allowed just one hit through five innings and struck out eight to pitch the Le Mars Bulldogs to a 5-1 victory over Denison-Schleswig in the season-opener for both schools. Eckstaine survived a night that saw him walk six and three other Monarchs reached on hit-batsman. Denison-Schleswig stranded 13 base runners. The Bulldogs did most of their damage in the first inning, scoring three runs. Jacob Lamoreaux tripled into the right field corner to score Hunter Rowe from second base and then scored the second run on a wild pitch by freshman starter Sean Houston. Andy Heffner plated Kendall Candor with a RBI-single to cap the first inning uprising. Colin Borchers made it 4-0 in the second with a sacrifice fly and Hunter Rowe singled home the final Bulldog run in the fifth. Brady Thies broke up Eckstaine's no-hit bid with a RBI-double in the fifth. The Monarchs finished with four hits. Le Mars travels to Rock Rapids Thursday to play Central Lyon.

We are bumping our head on the upper limit of what Excel can handle in the old 97 Excel format, .xls.
We are providing the Domestic TPN Map in the old 97-Excel format as a common denominator, so that older versions of Excel will work. Folks have complaints about functionality when using the free Excel Reader.
Our current TPN Map now runs just under 9,000 records. In the old 97 Excel format, it is about 2.3 MB. In the newer .xlsx format, the same data requires about 900 KB.
There are two options available:
- For Excel 2010 users: just save the .xls file as a .xlsx file. Close Excel, then open the .xlsx version. This newer, smaller version will run fine.
- For Excel 97 users: delete the pages or tabs in the Excel that are not of immediate use - i.e. cut down the file size. Save the remaining data as an .xls. Close Excel then open the stripped-down .xls.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- Mitt Romney and Barack Obama both say their tax plans would benefit the middle class and spur job creation, and both are suggesting their opponent's plan would do the opposite.
Romney says cutting tax rates across the board would spur job growth. He says bringing rates down makes it easy for small businesses to keep more of their capital and hire more workers.
But Obama, who supports raising tax rates on upper incomes, says Romney's proposed tax cuts and his calls for increased military spending would add trillions to the federal debt.
Obama said to Romney, a former businessman, quote, "You wouldn't have taken such a sketchy deal."
He says the American people shouldn't accept that deal either.

MOREHEAD CITY � An employee of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has completed disciplinary action, but there is still no word on a possible criminal charge following a recent state audit that found he violated conflict of interest policies by contracting with his father-in-law�s trucking company to transport oyster shells for the division.
Clay Caroon was suspended for two weeks without pay by the division as disciplinary action due to the findings of the report. He reported back to work Dec. 10, according to the division.
There was no word as of Tuesday on whether Caroon will face charges for alleged violation of state law.
The N.C. Office of the Auditor initiated an investigative audit into the alleged activities after receiving a tip on its hotline.
A report was released last month that found that Caroon, a biology supervisor in the Oyster Rehabilitation Program, approved state contracts with New Bern-based B.F. Potter, a trucking company owned by his father-in-law, Denard T. Potter. Some work was subcontracted to Trans Gate, a company owned by Caroon�s wife.
The contracts to haul oyster shells, used for artificial reefs, totaled $209,000 during the last nine years, the report said.
The division noted in a news release, issued the day of the report�s release, that the use of Potter�s trucking company predated Caroon�s promotion into a contracting position.
The division has a conflict-of-interest policy and had already taken steps to correct problems identified in the report, according to the release.
The division did an internal review of transactions with Potter�s company and found there were not overpayments and that rates were competitive with those paid by other state agencies for comparable services, the release stated.
But a question remains about whether there will be a charge filed against Caroon for an alleged violation of state law.
State law says no public officer or employee who is involved in making or administering a contract on behalf of a public agency may derive a direct benefit except as allowed by law. According to the report, Potter said that he provided a $5,000 payment to Trans Gate to Caroon�s wife to pay for expenses for a family vacation to Disney World.
Caroon was required by the Division to repay the $5,000 and he has done so, the division said.
During the audit investigation, the Division of Marine Fisheries reported the alleged crime to the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources general counsel to report to the State Bureau of Investigation, division spokeswoman Patricia Smith said.
The division has not heard any more on this than what was release in the audit.
The auditor�s office has handed the report over to the N.C. State Attorney�s Office.
Page 2 of 2 - The Daily News contacted the state attorney general�s office about the possible charges and had not received a reply as of Tuesday.

Greensboro, NC -- In this week's career check, Joyce Richman tells you about preparing yourself for a job interview.
There are things you can do so you're ready to sit down across from a potential employer.
"Check your assumptions if you are telling yourself that you just can't do anything to prepare for an interview because there are lots of things you can do to prepare for an interview," said Richman.
"First of all, you can go online to check out the website where you are going to interview. That's got a lot of information there for you. Information that should spur questions you might have that you can ask on the interview. What's this research doing? Well, it's letting the interviewer know that you've done your homework, that you are self starting, that you're curious, that you go the extra step, the extra measure in everything that you do. You're sending that kind of a message. Now, what else can you do? You can practice for an interview. There are plenty of ways to get these interview questions. Once again, just go online and download them. That's where the interviewer is getting the questions for themselves. The more you practice, the more comfortable you are in your own skin. So when you get to the interview, you can really listen, ask great questions and you can be fully present. That's how you prepare," said Richman.
You can read Joyce Richman's career advice in Sunday's Triad career section of the News & Record.

I'm not sure of the actual numbers but we have plenty. We'd be happy to send ya a few more if you start to run low!
Well...I know when our state of Idaho started its much political mess of allowing us to hunt the bastards, the animal lovers were so concerned over the numbers here. They claimed we only had just under 1000 wolves in our state. They claimed there was less than 1500 in the Montana, Idaho, Wyoming area.
So after two seasons, this current one here not yet completed..... We have harvested to date 558 wolves.(legally reported kills of coarse)
I was wondering how many have been reported in your state?
Just curious to see what total number is being eliminated vs the total they tried so hard in court to pull over our eyes as actually existing.
I hunt because......
I'm not sure of the actual numbers but we have plenty. We'd be happy to send ya a few more if you start to run low!
Heck, had 3 confirmed by me 2 years ago (Illinois), and there aren't supposed to be any. Can't imagine how many there are in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan if they are wandering down here.
Okay, at the risk of losing any creditability, I saw a red wolf in Pontoon, Ar about two weeks ago. Good look and shock. I called a friend who works at G&F. I was told how to call it in at Ft Smith. I didnot. Since then some duck hunting guy are suposed to have SSS two.
Not sure they understood the last S. ;-)
They said they killed two of them
Our DNR estimates there are at least 3000 in MN. We just finished up our first wolf hunting/trapping season, and the quota of 400 wolves was met, with the majority killed by trappers. I applied for the late season, but failed to draw.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
I thought the last S was "shut up," not "said." lol
I applied for a Wisconsin preference point before they announced what NR licenses would cost -- Wisconsin is usually pretty kind to NRs. In this case, $500 for a wolf. Probably too rich for me.
I would not even condider paying, they should be paying.
Toooo many

CROFTON, Md. (WUSA9) -- Police say a group of teenagers stole a woman's credit card, used it at a movie theater and then took silly photos of themselves in a photo booth. Police are still looking for the teens.
Thursday, June 6, a woman reported that she had misplaced her credit card while shopping in the Crofton area, say police. Police later found that her credit card had been used on June 5 at the Regal Movie Theater at 1419 South Main Chapel Way.
Police say surveillance video from the theater shows teens buying tickets from a movie ticket kiosk. Then, according to police, the teens took photos in a photo booth inside the theater lobby.
In those photos, which are attached to this article, you see at least four teens making funny faces.* Two of the photos show a teen with what appears to be a credit card in his hand. One photo shows the word "VISA."
If anyone knows the identity of any of the teens, then please call Detective Golas at 410-222-6155.

Schumer: Nassau needs rebuilding plan
In Merrick, senator calls on HUD to fund project like Suffolk's
1 2 Next page >
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, the third-highest-ranking member of the Senate's Democratic majority, spoke at a news conference on Monday in the driveway of a south Merrick home, calling on the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement a comprehensive plan to protect Nassau County's coastline from future storms.
Schumer said that the plans developed after Hurricane Sandy to repair the county's barrier islands, such as Long Beach and Jones Beach, and make them more resilient "left everything here on the mainland" unprotected.
"Sandy impacted many, many communities throughout Nassau County, like this one, Merrick, Oceanside, Freeport, Lawrence," Schumer said. "We have to make sure there is a comprehensive plan in place, and then implement it, to make sure that when, God forbid, another storm occurs, or as a result of global warming sea levels rise, the South Shore of Nassau County is protected."
In Suffolk, the Fire Island-to-Montauk Point project, which received $700 million in funding through the federal Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, includes plans to elevate some 4,400 homes five to 10 feet, raise miles of coastal roads, protect critical facilities like hospitals and police stations from flooding, enlarge dunes with 8 million cubic yards of sand, and restore wildlife habitats and wetlands, among other projects, Newsday reported. The Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the project, still needs to clear several legal hurdles to proceed.
Schumer lamented the lack of an equivalent plan in Nassau. "Now Suffolk County will be protected, but what about Nassau County?" he said. "There was never a comprehensive plan in place, and if we were to ask the Army Corps to do it … it would take about five years and have to be approved by Congress, which is treacherous."
He stressed, however, that HUD could create a similar plan for Nassau using available Community Development Block Grant funding, without the need for further congressional approval.
"This is a different way to skin that cat," Schumer said. He set a goal for HUD of drafting a comprehensive plan for Nassau's South Shore by next spring and beginning construction in January 2015.

As along as the waters keep rising, all these efforts in the long run will prove ineffective. Eventually, all coastal dwellers will be forced by nature to seek higher ground. Truly, this is a losing battle. We can't hold back the sea.

Anything Schumer has his hands on, is suspect to me. I can just see it now....HUD is now in the business of development, design, planning, etc. I smell a rat, a big rat named Chuck! - Watch out, this is a bait and switch operation. He's up to no good, as usual.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Troy Brouwer had a goal and an assist in the second period of the Washington Capitals' 5-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night.
Jason Chimera added his first regular-season goal in nearly a year for the Capitals (12-15-1), who broke out of an offensive slump in which they had scored only seven times in five games - losing four.
Alex Ovechkin got the Capitals going with his 350th NHL goal, scored only 19 seconds in, and Marcus Johansson and Matthieu Perrault also had a goal and an assist each as Washington beat Buffalo at home for the seventh time in eight games.
Cody Hodgson scored twice for the Sabres (10-15-4), who have lost five straight road games and have won just once in seven games overall.

How to contact me
by Ken Pomeroy on Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Updated 2/22/2013
I get many e-mails. While I read each one that crosses my desk, I am not able to respond to all of them. Actually, I am able to, but in some cases it's better for the both of us if I didn't, since it would take away from doing other things that may serve humanity better. If you want to increase your odds of getting a response, proper salutations and punctuation help, especially if we do not have a previous relationship.
There's also a sweet spot in terms of length. E-mails of 1500 words describing your philosophy on every matter pertaining to offensive rebounding are unlikely to get a response. With messages of such length, it is time consuming to thoughtfully respond to each of your points, yet it would also be rude to respond with "I agree!" to such a long message.
On the other end, messages such as "are u insane?" or "do u predict totals?" are not likely to get a response, either.
Obviously, if you have a question about your subscription or are having issues logging in, I will do my best to respond promptly.
For media folks: I am more than willing to do interviews or help you with a story

Ana Ivanovic was spotted at the Linz baller party wearing a traditional Austrian dress (Sonja - if you're out there reading this post please confirm!)
I know I'll probably get shit for this one but, honestly, there's something about Ana that's really starting to annoy me. You could probably tell the Serb to do anything and she'll do it - Ana's like some smiley raven-haired robot.
Throw some traditional garb at her and trot her around like a prized puppy, throw on another gown and stick her in a pool, throw on some horrible adidas duds and have her pose like a z-level Shrieka, throw on some trashy bikinis and pose like a porn star for some lagging lad mag, and on and on and on.
Maybe if someone told her to act like a top lady baller and win a tourney she might actually do it. Ugh.

PHOTO OP: Anyone else getting annoyed by Ana?

On court, I'm not that fond of Ana - what with the body twirls and fists pumps. I find that kinda annoying.ReplyDelete
Off court, it does seem that she's still in that impressionable stage of life where she "tries on" everything and see if they fit her character. There doesn't seem much of a consistent thread in her activities off court. (Or maybe, I just don't follow her that much) Methinks Ana will eventually develop a solid personality of her own - well, hopefully =D
If you got paid as much as she does to do that stuff, you'd do it too.ReplyDelete
Rich: I think you're being a little hard on Ana. Aren't these things (player party with traditional Austrian garb and the pose in the pool) part of the WTA marketing machine? And as such I don't see a problem with that. Were other players at the party dressed similarly?ReplyDelete
But having said that I don't understand the FHM piece and that comes from her management. It doesn't seem like something she'd do given her quiet personality. Do I fault her for that? I'm not quite sure.
I don't find her on court 'personality' annoying. I'll take the first pumps over other players grunts/shrieks and theatrics.
Rich, I understand your frustration, but in this case, it was not only Ana wearing traditional Austrian dress at Linz player party. I suppose all the players wore them, as a proof, I saw the photo of Tamira Paszek.ReplyDelete

The only thing that annoys me is how people are trying to make her into the next big thing in women's tennis. That never works. The "big things" in tennis are usually a surprise. They put too much pressure on these girls to be players and spokeswomen. Some just aren't cut out for it and I don't think Ana is. She occasionally takes a pretty picture but I find her and her tennis bland.ReplyDelete
- CristinaOctober 22, 2008 at 10:54 AM
Oh Rich - Your my friend so I can forgive you for dissing Ana. In all seriousness, I can easily see why people find her personality or lack thereof somewhat annoying. I think its because she is young, sheltered and generally easy going and just goes with the flow most of the time.ReplyDelete
I think Lisa hit on it. Yes it's true I'm probably being harsh but if I think it's the whole "girl-next-door" trying to vamp it up and it all seems so forced.ReplyDelete
Maybe her team should just let her be and see what comes out...that might actually work.
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2008 at 11:36 AM
I am not usually a biased person, but Ana annoys the bejeezus out of me, but not necessarily for this particular reason. Could it be for her cheap, noisy rubber soles? Godawful on court demeanor? Or is it for her obvious attempt at feigning niceness off court, while she drips bitchiness on the inside? Frankly, I don't think she's even worth my musing. On to Verdasco...ReplyDelete
Clearly Ana is a pretty girl. But not all pretty girls can be transformed into Sharapovas of tennis. It looks forced because it is.ReplyDelete
Her on-court attires are just like the regular lady ballers, which is ridiculous given her status in women's tour.Her off court clothes are just as bad. She's one of those girls, that even with her undeniable good looks she just can't stand out.
Poor thing, even her tennis is not looking good at the moment.
- zoonkieOctober 22, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Thank you! I've always been rather unaffected by Ana and her game,but lately she's been annoying me too. Her first round match at Wimbledon saw me take a real dislike to her on-court demeanour and personality. She really is like the girl who tried too hard.ReplyDelete
While I understand the WTA trying to market her (and other lady ballers) like a commodity, I wish she'd employ the luxury of choice that she does wield as one of the top 10...like you'd ever see Shrieka deign to do a gown-in-pool shot.
I reckon her nice-girl act is thanks to the rave reviews she's gotten and it's starting to grate on my nerves. I wish she'd just be honest about her opinions and say what she means without dressing up like an idiot and embarrassing herself!
- Tennis ObserverOctober 22, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Funny, a couple of posts before the Williams sisters "played tennis" in gowns and high heels and it was "glamorous". Double standards?ReplyDelete
tennis observer: good point. but from my point of view, this type of marketing, because that's what it is, doesn't work on ana.ReplyDelete
the williams sisters were pioneers in this type of marketing because they can transcend the sport, like shrieka, and brought a fashionable edge to the court - for better and for worse. the execution isn't always the best but they have the game and personalities to pull this off.
ana hasn't shown that kind of ability to transcend tennis just yet. does she have potential? of course but it hasn't evolved yet and her team seems like they're trying to force it. my argument is let it be and see what comes out.
- MelanieOctober 22, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Oh lord, I praise you for this post. I've been preaching this to all my tennis friends around me, and they just don't see it. I agree with all points in this post :DReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2008 at 2:34 PM
Rich, I usually like your posts.. but I think now you just opened the door for Ana haters to hate on her.. and I find that a bit cheap.ReplyDelete
The girl has not done anything... maybe people around her have done it for her, trying to earn money on her expense.. but do you blame them? That's business...
Ana herself is a very quiet girl, who has a stronger personality than most people think. I read here in the comments someone saying that she fakes off court niceness. And that reminded me of a piece by Peter Brodo in Tennis Magazine, regarding some of this insinuations, saying people are seeing things where there isn't any. Ana is actually a very self concious person, giggly shy (according to Bodo, who, it seems, got to spend a lot of time with her during Indian Wells and Roland Garros).
She is incredibly talented.. but needs to mature.. Maturity on and off court.. something you can't really demand of a 20 year old who has always been very much protected from the world. Give her time..
Maybe her team is forcing a little, to sell her out.. but that's hardly her fault.
lbs: all your points are well taken. i think 2009 will be a very interesting year for her evolution.ReplyDelete
but she's already a grand slam champ and she's been no. 1 in the world now - it's time to pull the wool from her eyes and get on with it.
maybe it is the team she has around her that needs to be shaken up. if she's been so "protected from the world" as you say, where are her parents in this decision-making? i haven't heard of any complaints so the assumption is they're okay with her team dragging her this way and that.
and to your point about "Maybe her team is forcing a little, to sell her out.. but that's hardly her fault." - that's exactly my point. she needs to start taking control of these issues and not be a "smiley, raven-haired robot" as I said in my post. ultimately it's ana out there and it's her image that will or will not suffer and she will carry the responsibility - not her "team".
she does seem like a giggly, shy girl - so let her be that way.
I have to agree with anon@5:34 on the maturity part.ReplyDelete
For example, Masha was trained for all those media attention, interviews, fame and photo shoots by IMG since she was 11 years old. I remember seeing a tv interview with her when she was like 15 and already had some IMG agent around her at a photo shoot who along with her entire camp guided her. Now she is 21 and has all those things down to perfection.
Ana simply needs time to get used to all this. I like to say she's kinda of in her sophomore year now after her breakthrough/freshman year 2007. So to compare her to Shrieka, we have to compare her to Shrieka 2005, who already was more experienced but still did some odd photo shoots and apart from her Wimby title, screams and legs was often more seen as a another "pretty-but-not-quite-as-hot-as-Anna Kournikova-Russian-tennis player".
So, I say give Ana time to get used to all those people who try to influence her/to make money off her. I'm sure she will find out what she wants herself, because she seems like a girl with substance even though, looking at the FHM pics, you could think otherwise.
And trust me once she's figured that out she will be right up there with Shrieka, Rena & Vee!
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2008 at 3:44 PM
Ok Rich. I agree with you in some points. That's the reason I think she needs to mature. Maturity does not come at the same age for everyone. She trusts her team almost blindly, that seems obvious to me. Ana needs to get more involved in the decision making... maybe she doesn't feel secure enough and thinks that there are other people who know better. I do think that she is getting stronger and going more with her own opinions lately though. Sghe speaks out about the new rules.. she speaks out about the WTA.. I think she still needs some time, but she is moving foward.. just give her more time. Ana seems to be the type of person who needs to experience something, learn with it and about it, and then come back already dealing with it the best way.ReplyDelete
But anyway.. the only thing that you could say she was dragged to was the FHM photoshoot. I really can't see what's so bad about the pool shoot, there are a lot of people who take promotional pictures that has some relation with their background. Ana's swimming pool training story is probably the most repeated story in Tennis after Sharapova's and the Williams'. Those player parties always have these special outfits that most or all the players use.. and isn't that fun? To take part in the culture of the country they are in. The WTA photoshoots are in their contracts, we just have to remember all the fuss about Sharapova. Have you guys ever been a part of a photoshoot? Even Gisele Bunchen gets bossed around by the photographer.. The model is not the one choosing how she will pose.. She can definitely pose the way she wants but the photographer will be making the model pose the way he/she wants.
I've read people bashing her fashion sense on and off court. Unfortunately Ana's contract with Adidas does not make her the designer of her own clothes.. she wears whatever they have for the Edge Collection. She signed this contract way before she became a top player.. and her next one will probably be much much better. So, I don't understand the blaming her for what she uses on court. Like if she could demand something that isn't in her contract..
Then I see people criticizing her for her off court clothes. Well you can say that she does not have a good fashion sense... 100% agreed here. But people say that she lacks personality.. well she has enough personality to carry some hideous clothes, that she probably likes. It's her choice.. she does not seem to follow all the trends like a robot.
I can totally understand people who do not like her personality, or who do not like her game. She is probably very extreme both ways.. some will say she is too nice.. some will say all this niceness is impossible, she must be faking it.. some will say she is a brainless ballbasher.. Well.. everyone is entitled of their opinions..
But if she was bland, than people would not even notice the girl, and that is obvious not happening. She is getting more and more known, and I believe with time she will get more assured of her own opinions and will be able to get them out. I also think 2009 will be an interesting year.. not only for Ana's development but also about woman's tennis. There will be a lot of interesting stories for next year. Can Sharapova come back without getting injured again? Can JJ win a Slam? Can Ana mature as a player? There are plenty of stories to look out for..
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2008 at 3:51 PM
100% agreed Maja.ReplyDelete
Ana was not trained for all of this. Neither was her camp. They are all grouwing together somehow. We have to remember she did not grow in America, having IMG or Octagon as managers. These people train their protegees on how to behave since they are 10 years old. When they are 20, they are totally confortable with everything and know exactly what they are doing. Ana on the other hand, is incredibly thankfull for Dan Hollzman help in her early career that she took him as a manager. She is the first and only human being he manages. He probably didnt know anything about amanging a tennis player until 3-4 years ago. Give the girl some time.. she is still learning.

One last thing..ReplyDelete
Ana was supposed to use that horrible petal dress from Adidas and the orange special Barricade V. Well.. she didn't like it, and decided not to use it. So much for being bossed around like a robot.
I feel weird defending Ana that much.. I'm not even a die hard fan. But apart from the fact that she needs to mature, everything else seems way too hard on her to me.
- RafafanOctober 22, 2008 at 6:27 PM
Shrieka is only 21 for those who says Ana is young. At 20 the Williams sisters were not only winning majors but their personalities were already established and known. Not to say everyone liked them but they were known nevertherless.ReplyDelete
Ana is in the spotlight now.She is amazingly talented and she is gorgeous. I'm sure she knows that and her team definitely know that. They should have known all along a gorgeous and talented like her is gonna be fotographed a lot. They should have known she was gonna be expected to be the next glamour girl of tennis.She is 20.i don't know about y'all but that's mature in tennis.
So i really think she should shelve her pretty shy girl next door for now and take charge of decisions that concern her.
It's just tough love people.Im not hating on Ana as some pple suggested. I like her actually.(she has a long way b4 she catches up with the top tennis personalities like Vee, Rena and Shrieka)

About the pool picture, isn't that a photoshop job?ReplyDelete
I love Ana but I agree, she should stop doing all stupid off court stuff and concentrate on her tennis instead.
That said, I think she looks stunning in the Austrian outfit.
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2008 at 8:16 AM
I absolutely agree with the article. Ana is starting to be a non-tennis "model". Now when she's not winning, she's just trying to impress us with something...er, I mean, she always wears "cool" outfits and her appearance is killing me. Did anybody notice that she combines her Rolex watches with some elegant dresses? Yuck! What's this? Her fashion taste is surely cracking. Yeah, her hairstyle is also very "interesting". Has she ever heard of hairbrush? She looks like Samara with her face covered in hair. God, Ivanovic, stop being a "fake always smiling model" and go back to play tennis. Or you're injured with your thumb again...?ReplyDelete
LOL Rich I'm so proud I was officially mentioned in your post! :))ReplyDelete
It's correct, that's a traditional Austrian dress, it's called "Dirndl". I gotta say I've never worn such a thing in my entire life (maybe because I'm from Vienna, and those dresses are mainly a country kinda thing).
As for annoying Ana: She has already annoyed me before. The fist-pumping, the pseudo it-girl image and all... You're right, it seems really forced. But that's just me.
sonja: Yay! I knew you'd be able to let us know about this traditional Austrian dress Dirndl. It does look country like you said - no traditional Austrian dresses for city ladies like you?ReplyDelete
Pseudo it-girl image - that's hitting the nail on the head!!!
Thanks! ;)ReplyDelete
Actually not, strangely there's no traditional dressing in Vienna. Our city traditions are all about the food and the coffee LOL.
Wow - just like New York!ReplyDelete
Yeah kinda, only slower. ;-)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2008 at 11:24 PM
ana's main appeal is that she's different from sharapova and the williamses. i don't think her niceness is just for show because i know someone personally who has seen her several times in events and has nothing but kind words to say about her. team ivanovic should just let her be ana.ReplyDelete

Well, I guess someone "told Ivanovic" to win the Linz title, huh?ReplyDelete
As for the comparison to Maria... they shouldn't be compared at all - they have totally different personalities. Ana is sweet, shy... and on the other hand, Maria is selfconfident, witty... Maria is a blonde with a face of an angel, whereas Ana is a hot brunette... They are both great tennis players.
Btw I agree with tennis observer.
- AnonymousOctober 27, 2008 at 10:37 PM
This is absolutely rediculous. First of all, everybody at the Linz party wore an Austrian dress. Same thing in Beijing. So I guess all players trout around like prized puppies. Why you're crticising her for that is beyond me. Her pool shot? Can some one explain to me what is wrong with that one? And regarding the FHM pics, as an Ana fan I wasn't thrilled about the photoshoot but the pics weren't trashy. It sounds to me that somebody is trying to create reasons to hate Ana and you really seem to be reaching big time. Posing like a porn star? Give me a break.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 14, 2009 at 7:58 AM
Can you please stop the trash talk! omg the one's that hate ana for how she looks or act are really blind with all their envy. Because people that give up time to write this kind of stuff about a person that they don't even know, only from camara, it's obvious that they haven't got any good thing to do in life.ReplyDelete
can't you see that she is not pretending to be "nice". In fact she IS nice... im sure you haven't seen her before, cause if you have you'll see that she is purely beautiful not only in an obvious way, but also on her inside.
So please give her a break, and give your negative thoughts a break too. Maybe someday you'll realize that critizizing and disrespecting people down don't do you any good.

Your eyes are windows into your inner beauty. Show the world your true youth and vitality by minimizing fine lines and crow's feet with Janson Beckett Eye Products. They contain one special ingredient in particular: 10 percent argireline, a patented peptide complex which acts much like Botox when topically applied to the skin—without the surprising side-effects of Botox.
Many of us hold tension around our eyes, squinting or narrowing the eyes without even realizing it. Argireline works to relax tension wherever it comes into contact with skin, which in turn relaxes deep-set wrinkles to minimize their appearance. It took you many years to develop those wrinkles, but applying Janson Beckett eye products for a matter of weeks improves the appearance of eye wrinkles.
Though eye care products from Janson Beckett are carefully formulated to be extra-gentle around the sensitive eye area, any anti-aging eye cream may cause an allergic reaction in some users. Don't use Janson Beckett skincare products if you are sensitive to any of their ingredients, and please talk to a dermatologist if you have any concerns about eye wrinkles, dark circles or puffy eyes.
Get younger looking eyes with eye treatments formulated to restore firmness and elasticity. Janson Beckett eye products bring you cutting-edge skincare science and natural botanicals in balanced beauty products. Use in combination with the whole line of Janson Beckett cleansers, moisturizers, and anti-aging skin care treatments.
As you read the ingredients list for Janson Beckett OkuSil Intensive Eye Serum, you may find a lot of scientific-sounding words you can't pronounce. In cheap skincare products, that often means harsh chemicals and additives your body doesn't need—chemicals that may damage your skin through long-term use. Here's a brief "translation" for Janson Beckett eye serum.
Argireline gently relaxes skin muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Hydroxyethylcellulose is an amino acid that gives OkuSil Intensive Eye Serum its pleasant texture. DMAE Bitartrate firms loose and sagging skin. Soluble collagen is a protein that enhances your skin's own collagen supply. Hydrolyzed elastin and hydrolyzed soy protein firm skin and lock in moisture. Hyaluronic acid plumps skin cells and is a key ingredient in wrinkle filling injections.
As you can see, each ingredient is carefully chosen and tested to create the ultimate intensive eye cream. Keep in mind that any beauty product containing argireline may temporarily dry out the skin, which is why you should always follow your OkuSil intensive eye treatment with a Janson Beckett moisturizer gently applied with your fingertips. The skin around the eyes is quite thin and lacks oil-producing glands, so this extra hydration is absolutely necessary if you notice fine, dry lines around your eyes after using OkuSil Intensive Eye Serum.
