UCLA Celebrates Title IX
In 10 years, Dan Guerrero has clearly established a pattern of "image and substance" that few in his profession can match. UCLA teams have won a nations' best 22 NCAA championships since his appointment, finished second 19 times and have enjoyed an additional 38 Top Five finishes. Overall, UCLA teams have won 108 NCAA Championships, a figure unmatched by any institution in the nation.
More than 80% of UCLA teams have qualified for NCAA post-season competition since 2002. The football team has appeared in eight bowl games and the men's basketball team advanced to consecutive Final Fours from 2006-08. The program has also won 51 conference championships in 15 different sports, produced nearly 500 All-Americans and featured four Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.
Furthermore, during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, 32 Bruins participated as athletes or coaches, representing the United States and eight other nations. They won nine medals, including six gold.
In the last 10 years, UCLA has finished second three times (2007-08, 2006-07 and 2005-06), third three times (2004-05, 2003-04 and 2011-12), fourth (2009-10), sixth (2002-03), 11th (2010-11) and 16th (2008-09) in the race for the Leerfield Sports Directors' Cup. In 2011-12, UCLA was the only school in the nation to finish in the Top 3 in both men's and women's sports in the Capital One Cup.
This past year in NCAA competition, UCLA won its 108th NCAA title in women's volleyball, and nine teams finished among the Top 5 nationally. Men's water polo and women's tennis finished second, men's soccer, women's gymnastics, men's tennis and women's water polo captured third place, and men's golf and baseball each placed fifth. Bruin teams also won conference titles in men's soccer, women's gymnastics, baseball and men's and women's water polo. Also, 80 student-athletes earned All-America honors and 89 were selected to various all-conference teams.
Since 2002-03, the Bruins have won 22 national championships: six in women's water polo, three each in women's softball and women's gymnastics, two in women's golf, and one each in women's tennis, men's tennis, men's volleyball, women's volleyball, men's water polo, men's golf, men's soccer and women's outdoor track. In addition, the Bruins have recorded 27 national podium finishes in that span.
Over the past decade, Guerrero has earned numerous honors. In May 2010, he was honored by the Black Coaches and Administrators organization as the Dr. Myles Brand BCA Administrator of the Year. In April 2010, he was honored by CORO Southern California, a non-profit organization that trains civic leaders.
In June of 2010, Guerrero completed a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee. As the chair in 2009-10, he was involved with the negotiation of the new $10.8 billion, 14-year NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament television package, as well as the decision to expand the Tournament to 68 teams.
In June of 2007, he was named the NACDA Division I West Region Athletic Director of the Year. His other honors include 2002 UCLA Latino Alumnus of the Year (October 2002); Cal State Dominguez Hills' Alumnus of the Year (March 2003); and 2003 "Father of the Year" by the Father's Day Council of the American Diabetes Association. On September 10, 2002, the Los Angeles City Council honored him with Dan Guerrero Day. He also became the first athlete in any sport at Banning (Wilmington, CA) High School to have his jersey (#8 in baseball) retired in 2003.
Guerrero was named one of the nation's 100 Most Influential Hispanics by Hispanic Business Magazine (October 2004) and the May 5, 2003 issue of Sports Illustrated listed him #28 among the 101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports. He was one of 28 people whose photo was featured on that issue's cover.
In addition to unparalleled success in the playing arena, his decade at the helm has also produced unmatched success in academics. In Guerrero's 10 years (30 quarters), student-athletes have earned 6,567 spots on the Director's Honor Roll (3.0 or higher grade-point average for a quarter). In 2011-12, 140 UCLA student-athletes earned all-conference academic acclaim. Finally, community service activities for the program are at an all-time high.
Resource development has always been one of Guerrero's strong points. Last year, a tremendous seven-year, multi-million dollar extension with adidas, equipment provider for all of UCLA's 24 sports, took effect. In 2004-05, he completed a new multi-million dollar agreement with ISP Sports (now IMG College), a premier national collegiate sports marketing organization.
Guerrero also led the negotiations that solidified the relationship between UCLA and the Rose Bowl, resulting in more than $150 million in renovations and restoration. He also reorganized the External Relations area, in anticipation of major revenue generating initiatives designed to address capital project needs, operational support and program endowments.
Under Guerrero's guidance, UCLA continues to aggressively enhance its athletic facilities, including the completion of the Bud Knapp Football wing of the Acosta Center. In the same complex, the sports medicine and athletic performance centers were renovated and redesigned, and the Olympic sports locker rooms were added on a third level. A new golf practice facility and the Easton Softball Stadium renovation were completed during the 2004-05 season. Spieker Aquatic Center was completed in the summer of 2009.
Improvements to Spaulding Field, the Bruins football practice facility, continue to take place, including the installation of natural turf this Summer. Finally, the $136-million renovation of Pauley Pavilion was completed in October, on time and under budget.
Guerrero has extensive experience in committee work at both the NCAA and conference level. In addition to his service on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, he also served on the "College Basketball Partnership," a group that included many of the most influential people in the sport. He has served as Chair of both the Pac-10 Athletic Directors Committee and the Budget and Finance Committee, and has served on several other conference committees. He has also served on other NCAA committees, including the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee and the Baseball Academic Enhancement Committee. He is currently a member of the Pac-12 Revenue Sharing, the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament, the Pac-12 Rose Bowl Management, the Pac-12 Bowls and the Pac-12 Nominating committees. In addition, he is the Pac-12 AD Liaison to Men's Basketball Coaches. Finally, he was president of the NACDA (2011-12) and is a member of the BCS Athletic Directors Advisory Group.
Guerrero came to UCLA from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI's fifth permanent Director of Athletics for 10 years (1992-2002). During his tenure, the program accumulated conference championships, garnered national rankings, featured graduation rates among the nation's best, and won numerous post-season honors for its student-athletes. In June of 2002 while still at UC Irvine, he was named the 2001-02 Division I-AA/I-AAA West Region NACDA Athletic Director of the Year.
Resulting from Guerrero's resourcefulness and creativity, UCI experienced unprecedented activity in the area of athletic facilities development. In his final five years, Guerrero was the driving force behind $38 million of newly constructed or renovated facilities. These projects included a newly renovated track and soccer complex, a new 64-meter competitive swimming pool, a new baseball stadium and the Anteater Recreation Center, one of the premier recreation centers in the country.
Prior to arriving at UC Irvine, Guerrero worked at Cal State Dominguez Hills, where he led that program to national prominence while serving as Athletic Director for five years (1988-92).
Guerrero received his Bachelor's degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base for the Bruins for four years. His three-year batting average in Pacific-8 Conference games was .343. Guerrero, known as "Warrior" during his playing career, was inducted into the UCLA Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. The Bruin Athletic Director earned a Master's degree in Public Administration in 1982 from Cal State Dominguez Hills and was named to the Pi Alpha Alpha Honor Society for Public Affairs and Public Policy that same year.
Guerrero, 60, was raised in Wilmington, CA. He is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two grown daughters.

Opening session of the Diplomatic days 2013
Opening session of the Diplomatic days 2013
"Europe is facing fundamental choices now"
Mr. Didier Reynders, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and European Affairs.
Brussels, February 4th 2013
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
It is no coincidence that we chose "The state of the European Union" as the main reflection theme for these diplomatic days. It is an issue that has kept us busy over the last few years. Globalisation, loss of jobs, the Eurozone crisis, street protests in Athens and elsewhere, cuts and restructuring programmes; culminating with a long awaited speech by Prime Minister Cameron; newspaper columns and pamphlets on European politics with the most diverse messages have succeeded, often expressing some despair and criticism. Those still clinging to the notion that Europe is a distant concept that leaves the citizen untouched, must be living on another planet.
By way of introduction to the discussions and information sessions that will be presented to you this week, I would like to share my belief that the debate on reforming the Eurozone will oblige us to develop a completely new governance model in the coming years for those matters that the Member States and their citizens have entrusted to the European level.
In 2012, an impressive package of reform measures was adopted regarding European economic governance. I am just recalling the most important ones :
- On 2 March, the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance - the "fiscal compact" - was signed; on 1 January of this year, the Treaty came into force for those Member States that had already approved it;
- During the European Council of June 2012, the Pact for Growth and Employment was adopted;
- On 27 September 2012, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) came into force;
- In the autumn of 2012, the general framework of a single supervisory mechanism for European banks and financial institutions was decided;
- Regarding budgetary coordination, the discussions on the so-called Two-pack made good progress and the negotiations are almost completed.
In other words, a great deal of important work has been carried out. But the job is not finished yet. It is not yet time for leniency, even though the financial markets are undeniably calming down and financing costs for Member States have been reduced significantly, even to historic depths, as e.g. for Belgium.
At the European Council of December 2012, a road map towards further deepening of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) was adopted. This road map was based on proposals from the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy. In his opinion a robust, stable and sustainable monetary union should be built on four building bricks:
- a banking union;
- a budgetary union;
- an economic union;
- an adequate system of democratic legitimacy and accountability.
In December 2012, the heads of government also agreed to elaborate in the first half of 2013 a number of specific elements of this total package, such as
- the drafting of "Contractual agreements for competitiveness and growth" as well as mechanisms of solidarity destined at encouraging their adoption,
- the social dimension of the EMU,
- a better ex ante policy coordination by the Member States.
They are expected to make initial decisions on these items in June. Until then, exploratory discussions and consultations will take place with the various Council formations involved.
As you can see, much hard work is being done on all these issues. I am nevertheless expecting some difficult discussions on all these thorny subjects. Furthermore, the financial situation of a number of Member States remains rather precarious, despite some real improvements.
In time, all these initiatives must together lead to a true economic union, which must form a necessary and essential complement to the monetary union. This was in fact originally provided for at the moment of the creation of the euro in the Treaty of Maastricht. The road ahead is still a long and difficult one, but at least we now have a more precise idea of what it looks like.
Thus far the reinforcement of the European budgetary and economic coordination has included 27 Member States when possible, but sometimes 17, and in a few cases even a smaller (Fiscal compact) or a larger number (growth Pact). This increasingly complex diversification was nevertheless always founded on the idea that all Member States would at some point enter into this economic governance model and that the door would remain open for everyone, at least provided the required conditions were fulfilled.
The past year has also seen a growing insight that a tight economic and financial integration must be accompanied by a reinforcement of the control and democratic legitimation mechanisms. I quote form Herman Van Rompuy's report of June 26, 2012 : " Moving towards more integrated fiscal and economic decision-making between countries will therefore require strong mechanisms for legitimate and accountable joint decision making. Building public support for European-wide decisions with a far-reaching impact on the everyday lives of citizens is essential."
How can we have the various levels of competence interact with one another while at the same time respecting the democratic and transparent character of all decisions made on all levels? The ministers of European affairs devoted a very interesting informal meeting to the subject in Dublin in January 2013.
Federal states are already familiar with this demanding working method: over the years, they have learned to work with a multi-layered decision-making model: the local, regional and national level, mostly with real legislative and parliamentary authority at both the regional and the national level. For these Member States, such as Germany, Belgium, Italy and Spain, the European governance layer is in essence not much more than an additional layer in which every component must gradually find its place.
And so we unavoidably come, through the crisis in the Eurozone, to the heart of the debate on the future of Europe. What institutions are necessary in order for the Union to function better? How can the operations of these institutions be made more efficient? How can they achieve more participation from citizens or from national politicians? How can the diversity of opinions be translated into coherent and efficient decisions? Quite naturally, these questions also have an external dimension: how can the European Union have its voice heard better and more efficiently in the world?
Last year, I had the great pleasure to discuss all these questions intensively with 10 other like-minded Ministers for Foreign Affairs in a group that was brought together at the initiative of the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Guido Westerwelle.
Since 23 January of this year, the debate on Europe's future has taken on a new turn. I'm speaking of course about "the speech", given by Prime Minister Cameron in which he indicated how he wants to see the European Union evolve in the coming years and where he confirms his intention to submit these changes to the British citizens in an "in or out" referendum by the end of 2017. Providing of course that the Conservative Party remains in power after the parliamentary elections in 2015.
The British Prime Minister wants an EU that is more, maybe even chiefly, focused on free trade and competitiveness. An EU that, in his vision, should focus on helping the business world rather than making its life more difficult with unnecessarily burdensome regulations. For the rest, the Member States must be able to decide freely which powers they want or do not want to share with one another.
David Cameron's speech certainly contained a number of interesting aspects and points for attention when it concerns the EU's competitiveness. I share his concerns on several of this issues.
The problem however is that we require much more from the EU than this minimum programme. A common agricultural policy, a solidary regional development and cohesion policy, internal security, a foreign and defence policy, cultural and educational exchanges, a common area of freedom of circulation for our employees and employers, a common currency are just a few of the important policy areas on which we, Belgium, have been working ever more closely with 26 other Member States, and a few new Member States soon, for many years now. We do this because we believe that our united efforts will lead to more results, increase the prosperity and well-being of our citizens and companies and because these policies strengthen Europe's position in the rapidly globalising world. We are therefore not opting for a minimum programme, but for the "full option" model.
I respect Prime Minister Cameron's questions and the method that he chose; that is his choice and the British voters will be able to voice their opinions in this matter. I would nevertheless like to emphasise clearly at this point that the UK's departure from the EU would most of all represent a major loss for the UK itself. But it would of course also be a great blow to the EU: I subscribe to the opinion expressed by many observers who consider that the particular mindset of the United Kingdom, which Prime Minister Cameron himself so aptly described in his speech, has always enriched the EU. But I have to be equally clear that the unravelling of the European working context, the "European menu, would constitute a serious problem for Belgium.
Belgium is by no means against a differentiated policy: the treaties mention the different techniques for differentiation and we apply them in a number of important areas, not least being the use of the euro. But I would like to make a fundamental distinction here: everybody advancing to their own speed in new policy areas is one thing (and is allowed according to the treaties), but selectively withdrawing from established and often very successful policy areas is a completely different matter and in our opinion questionable.
After all, who would prevent other Member States from making their own calculation of unpopular directives or regulations or policy measures that have long been contested or which for example have been the subject of condemnations by the European Court of Justice? The treaty does indeed provide for an opt-out rule for the UK concerning Justice and Home Affairs issues (Protocol 36 annexed to the Treaty of Lisbon). But what about the other domains?
Always patiently seeking a compromise on which all Member States and the European Parliament can agree, while taking into account the general European interest, belongs to the very essence of life in the European Union. The underlying premise has always been that "sacrifices" are always compensated for with advantages and that the final balance is generally positive for all Member States. If this is not the case, a large and differentiated Union with 27 and soon more Member States will not be able to operate. After all, the Union is much more than the simple sum of 27 individual interests.
All of this does not prevent a fundamental reflection on the future of our Union from being perfectly legitimate, or even necessary. We sometimes hear the same questions of Prime Minister Cameron's speech being asked in Belgium, and we also have, just like he does, an ideal image of the EU in our minds...
This is why I am convinced that the (possible) referendum debate in the UK would quickly result in all Member States doing some soul searching on the question: what kind of Union do we actually want?
Do we want to pursue our ideal of a political union, with a common currency, a common trade policy, a common space of freedom, fundamental rights and migration, an industrial policy, a foreign and security policy? Where everything is arranged at the European level because this allows us to organise our societies in the most efficient and influential way, internally but also in the larger world, where the EU now represents less than 7% of the population? A Union which includes federal and democratic structures that allow for a fair distribution of power with respect for the authority and prerogatives of the national States, according to the highest standards of the rule of law and of fundamental human rights?
Or do we want, like the British government, to pull out of a few core domains and build up rather loose coalitions that meet the interests of the moment? And in doing so, returning to a basic package that is constructed around the internal market and its four classic freedoms?
David Cameron's questions are in fact everyone's questions.
Belgium chooses the "full option" model, with the rights and obligations, with areas that strongly appeal to us, but also with those that suit us sometimes less; we are prepared to relinquish - or better: to share (cfr. the euro) - our sovereignty over certain competences if this is paired with a model of government that rests on a true responsibility that is democratically controlled and that opens the door to real European solidarity.
In order to organise this in an efficient, legally proper and democratically responsible way, we want to go as far as possible in strengthening the EMU, as described above, and within the boundaries of the existing treaties. There will however come a time when our constitutional texts - the treaties - must be amended, but this question will only be addressed after the EP elections in 2014.
As I said earlier, we must primarily focus in 2013 on the major EMU reform plans that President Van Rompuy has proposed.
But fairly soon after that, the unavoidably more fundamental questions will have to be addressed:
- should the Commission not be further developed into a true government? With a president who is the top candidate of the political group of the European Parliament that emerges as the winner of the European elections? And supported by a political majority in the European parliament? In time, should the size of the Commission not be reduced so that the European interest of its proposals and operations can be expressed even better?
- shouldn't the current two legislative branches, the European parliament and the Council, develop into two representative chambers, one for the citizens (which is already the European Parliament now) and one for the Member States? A true majority/minority system must arise within the European parliament, and the European parliament (and possibly the Chamber of the States as well) should receive a right of legislative initiative.
- national or regional parliaments must, much more than is now the case, follow up on the European governance dimension, with even more intense procedures of exchange of information or dialogue; it will however always be the responsibility of the Member States to develop the appropriate modalities for this.
- The Europe of the future will need a more ambitious budget than is the case now, preferably financed for a large part with own and autonomous resources. This budget will primarily serve two purposes: on the one hand, help the convergence between Member States, not only for the new or poorer Member States but also to assist the older or richer Member States who need punctual support to absorb economic shocks or to restructure vital sectors such as the car and steel industries; on the other hand, improve the competitiveness of our industrial and economic fabric by providing sufficient financial means to develop industrial sectors with a high technological potential for the future such as aeronautic, energy, biotechnology etc…
Allow me, finally, to say a few words about the other great challenge of this year as well as for the years to come: the reinforcement of the common foreign and security policy.
The European Council of December 2013 has foreseen a substantial debate about the orientations that will have to be given to the European defence policy. All along this year, our experts, members of parliament and ministers will look into this subject. Let us seize this opportunity to launch a new dynamic in this policy that is crucial for the credibility and for the influence of the European Union in the world. We should learn from our experiences in e.g. Libya, Mali and the Indian Ocean. Let us be ambitious but realistic at the same time and accept to draw some inspiration from the systematic method which, even if too slow at times, has been successfully adopted for developing the EMU. Every year, we should see real and concrete progress on the road to more common coordination and planning of our defence policies, such as a better integration of our forces, the pooling and sharing of our means or the development of a strategic vision.
Another big topic this year will be review of the European external action service (EEAS). We also have to take this opportunity to reinforce this service which is crucial for the projection of our interests and values throughout the world. Some reforms such as improving the daily interaction between Member States and the EEAS or concerning the internal functioning of the service can be carried out within the actual legislative framework. Other, more important reforms, like its interaction with the European Commission or the question about political deputies to the High Representative can certainly be discussed in 2013 but their realization - if at least these projects are approved in principle- will have to take into account the organization of the new college of the Commission in 2014. In our opinion, we will also need to look at some time into the financial means of the EEAS; the actual tight budgetary framework reduces considerably its autonomy for quick action on the ground or makes the enlargement of its tasks into useful areas, such as certain aspects of consular policy, difficult.
Without addressing more in detail the different on-going CSDP operations or the important issues of international diplomacy such as the MEPP, Iran or the Sahel region, I can confirm that Belgium will always follow in these debates a voluntary, European and ambitious approach, together with the other "positive forces" of the Union, such as the Benelux or any other Member State that shares our vision and our interest.
Dear Ministers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The few challenges I have briefly described above need many answers, clarification and attention: this is again a project that will mobilize a whole generation of politicians, lawyers and diplomats. I wish all of you inspiring and productive moments of debate and exchange this week.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Grafting Fruit Trees (page 2 of 3)
by Nan Sterman
Finding and Storing Scion Wood
We started collecting scion wood -- new, vigorous growth trimmed from desirable trees -- in late winter for early spring grafting. Though early spring is the best time to graft deciduous fruit trees like apples and stone fruits, tropical fruit trees like avocado and citrus can be grafted later in the year. The best scion wood is no more than one year old and 1/4-to 1/2-inch in diameter. We were careful to avoid wood from diseased trees.
Most of our scion wood came from an exchange sponsored by the local chapter of California Rare Fruit Growers, but scion wood exchanges take place around the country -- even among neighbors. (Our scion wood included prunings from my parents' nectarine tree.)
If you collect your own scion wood, cut it into 12-inch lengths, and be sure to keep track of the "top" or growing end, and "bottom" or root end of the scions. Experienced grafters showed us how to mark the top with a diagonal cut and the bottom with a square cut. Then label each length with the variety name. We bundled our scions and labeled each bundle with masking tape and waterproof markers. Next, we wadded damp (not wet) paper towels around the cut ends of the scions, and placed them in large plastic bags. Finally, we sealed each bag with rubber bands and put the bags in the refrigerator. Our goal was to keep the wood moist and cool to maintain its dormancy until we were ready to graft. Scion wood can keep like this for up to six months in the refrigerator, as long as it doesn't freeze.
No matter where you live, collect scion wood from deciduous trees before the buds start to grow. Cut scions when temperatures are at or above freezing, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun is up and causes the sap to flow. If you live in a frost-free region of the country, you can graft at any time before new bud growth begins.
Care and Maintenance of Grafted Trees
After we grafted our trees, we waited, impatiently, for three or four weeks. Then one day, we noticed that the first graft had developed tiny green buds. Over the next few weeks, more than 30 of our 40 grafts developed buds. Within two months of grafting, all the successful grafts had started, though four or five that had appeared to take later withered. The withered grafts had sprouted using only their own energy, rather than forming a true union (called a callus) with the rootstock. Soon, however, we had substantial new growth from about two-thirds of our grafts. If you decide to try grafting, use at least 10 scions of each variety to ensure that some will take.

Community Wide Planning Overview
Many communities have consciously implemented strategies to protect their downtowns, village centers or rural areas. Some of the most common are described at the end of this page..
In 2006, the NH Preservation Alliance published a handbook, Preserving Community Character: A Preservation Planning Handbook for New Hampshire. This was designed to meet the need for information about the preservation and planning tools and techniques available to municipalities. While often spearheaded by the local heritage or historic district commission, these strategies can be evaluated and implemented by citizen petition or other arms of local government. These tools offer an array of opportunities to protect and preserve the cultural, historical, or even natural resources of the community. Each has a different purpose and effect on the preservation of a community's character. Some can be implemented independently, while others are designed to be used in tandem. In any event, for these strategies and methods to be effective, they require support and commitment from within the community. (Note: Links are excerpts from the published handbook, which is available on CD-Rom in our bookstore.)

Heritage Commissions
One of the first things a community can do is establish a Heritage Commission. This appointed body works much like a conservation commission. It is not regulatory (which requires an established Historic District and rules governing changes to the structures within that area). Rather, it is advisory to the board of selectmen or city council, and can work on behalf of preservation, own property and accept gifts of money to rehabilitate those structures. Many of the tools listed below are appropriate for Heritage Commissions. Other activities include offering educational programs, creating a recognition program of historic plaques or signs, or submitting a regular column about historic resources to the local newspaper or town website.
Historical Resource Survey
A priority task for the heritage commission is to have a comprehensive understanding of what the community's historical resources are. This is generally accomplished by undertaking a survey or inventory of historical buildings, structures, and sites. A historical resource survey can aid in understanding the community's historic character and assist in determining which resources take preservation priority and why. It provides ready access to accurate, useable information whenever needed. With accurate data, a municipality can make an informed decision quickly. The historical resource survey also plays a major role in creating a preservation chapter for the community's master plan.
Detailed information on conducting a historical resource survey can be found at http://www.nh.gov/nhdhr/programs/survey.htm.
Historic Districts
When it comes to recognizing or protecting historic character in a specific area of the community, municipalities have three options, each of which is distinctively different: (1) National Register historic districts, (2) locally designated historic districts, and (3) neighborhood heritage districts. The districts can be separate designations or can overlap with each other. The town's historical resources survey will identify areas within the community where a particular type of district might be appropriate.
Detailed information on the various kinds of historic districts may be obtained by consulting the NH Division of Historical Resources www.nh.gov/nhdhr
Master Plan Chapter
Advocates for preservation can make an immediate contribution to preservation planning by working with town government to include a chapter on Historic and Cultural Resources, an optional component of the state-required municipal Master Plan. A master plan, sometimes called a comprehensive community plan, combines descriptive information, analysis of local trends, technical data and annotated maps. This material forms the basis for policies used by the community to manage and direct municipal growth, development and change. The historical and cultural resources chapter of the master plan should provide an overview of the history of the town or city; identify significant resources and historic areas that illustrate its history; and offer goals and action items to manage future change that might impact those resources. If there is a heritage commission, they should take an active role in writing this chapter, but volunteers can also come together to compile this information. Once their work is complete, their next project might be to propose that the town form a heritage commission.
* Merrimack completed a comprehensive chapter on historical resources in its 2002 master plan, which is on their website: http://www.merrimacknh.gov/
Demolition Review Ordinance
Several of New Hampshire's heritage commissions have spearheaded demolition review ordinances for their community. While the ordinance does not prevent demolition of a historic building, it does bring it to the attention of the heritage commission and the general public. Through discussion, education and exploration of alternative approaches, communities with a demolition review ordinance have successfully saved a number of buildings from the wrecking ball, while keeping property on the tax rolls and spurring creative new development. Click here for a PowerPoint on Demo Review.
The Certified Local Government Program (CLG)
The CLG program is a partnership between municipal governments and the state historic preservation program, to encourage and expand local involvement in preservation-related activities. It is administered through the NH Division of Historical Resources, and municipal governments must apply for admission to the program. The Division of Historical Resources (DHR) designates at least 10 percent of its annual Historic Preservation Fund allocation from the Department of the Interior to local governments that have become Certified Local Governments.
To be eligible, a local government must have established a historic preservation review commission, which may be either a historic district commission or a heritage commission with historic district responsibilities. In addition to its other responsibilities, the historic district commission or heritage commission serves as an advisory body to the municipal government and to the land use boards (planning board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and conservation commission). In that role, it becomes the coordinating body for municipal preservation activities. It prepares reports on National Register of Historic Places nominations, for all properties within the community (not just those within a historic district), sponsors public information programs on historic preservation, and prepares applications for matching grants from the CLG share of the state's annual Historic Preservation Fund allocation, if the community chooses to apply for grant funds. The DHR provides training for the CLG commission on its CLG responsibilities and offers ongoing technical assistance to help the community and the commission conduct historic preservation projects, address preservation issues and opportunities, and resolve concerns relating to federally-assisted activities that may affect historic properties.
Matching grants to municipalities that have become Certified Local Governments can be used to fund community preservation activities such as historic resource surveys, National Register nominations, preservation planning, and educational projects. In some years, grants are also available for architectural plans and specifications, engineering reports, and even "bricks and mortar" work on National Register properties.
Heritage fund
* RSA 674:44-d
One of the innovations of the heritage commission legislation is that it allows a municipality to establish a non-lapsing heritage fund, which the heritage commission can use for activities. The fund can receive public or private monies and accumulate from year to year. The commission can expend money from the fund without approval from the local legislative body, as long as the expenditure is for an activity allowed under the heritage commission ordinance. If the money is to be used to purchase an interest in real property, the commission must first hold a public hearing. Furthermore, to protect private property rights, neither the municipality nor the commission can use the fund to condemn property. This is equivalent to the provisions of a conservation fund, which have been used successfully by conservation commissions for over thirty years.
Public and municipal education
A key purpose of the heritage commission is to illustrate the public benefit of preserving a community's historical and cultural resources. There are multiple ways to raise awareness, including plaques highlighting important historic events or buildings; walking tours showcasing architectural and historic attributes of the community; exhibits on local history and distinctive citizens; school presentations; preservation awards program; website; publicizing the historical resource survey on the web site; and publishing a series of newspaper articles.
* The Troy Heritage Commission produced a walking tour that can be viewed online at http://www.troy-nh.us/walktour.html
* Hollis has a particularly informative web site on local history: http://www.hollis.nh.us/windowsonhollispast/
Real property acquisition
* RSA 674:44-b-II
The heritage commission can acquire real property in the name of the town or city and subject to the approval of the local governing body. The acquisition can be by gift, purchase, grant, bequest, devise, lease, or otherwise, and in the form of a fee or lesser interest, development rights, covenant, or other contractual right, including conveyances with conditions, limitations, or reversions. This mechanism was put into place as a means to maintain, improve, protect, limit the future use of, or otherwise conserve and properly use the historical and cultural resources of the city or town. With acquisition, the heritage commission is responsible for managing and controlling the property.
Historic barn easements
In 2002 the State of New Hampshire passed legislation to encourage preservation of historic agricultural structures by allowing discretionary preservation easements under a new tax incentive mechanism. The statute defines agricultural structures to include barns, silos, corn cribs, ice houses and other outbuildings.
*In the first couple of years of the program, nearly 200 New Hampshire barns and other agricultural buildings in forty-eight towns were protected through barn easements.
In essence, the program provides property tax relief for owners of historic barns who agree to maintain the structures in keeping with their historic integrity and character for a minimum of ten years. Using statewide eligibility criteria and guidelines, the local governing body considers applications for the program, and if approved, grants tax relief within a range of a 25% to 75% reduction of the structure's full assessed value for as long as the easement is in effect. In order for an easement to become effective in the coming tax year, the local governing body must receive the application no later than April 15..
The town's heritage commission is ideally suited to identify, promote, and advise the local governing body on this program, as well as assist in implementing it. Some suggestions follow:
Encourage use: First and foremost, a heritage commission can help publicize the new tax incentive mechanism among owners of historic agricultural structures, other townspeople, and relevant local bodies such as the board of selectmen and planning board.
Support applicants: The heritage commission can help property owners research the history of their barns, locate old photographs, and identify significant features. The commission can also provide valuable help at the required public hearings and contribute a letter of support.
Assist busy boards of selectmen: The board of selectmen or council can delegate responsibility to the heritage commission for initial review of an easement application, a site visit, and recommendation for the tax reduction. If a reduction is granted, the commission can help local officials with the annual monitoring to ensure the terms of the easement are maintained.
* The Concord Heritage Commission developed a form in conjunction with the city assessor to evaluate barn easement applications.
Spread the good word: Particularly when preservation easements are already in place, the heritage commission can encourage local newspaper coverage on how the program is working to help preserve an important part of the community's heritage.
Take stock: To get a better understanding of the number and types of historic agricultural buildings which remain in town, as well as those which have been lost, the heritage commission is encouraged to conduct a community-wide survey of these structures and to directly involve their owners in such work. These surveys are invaluable both for the data they contain and as an advocacy tool for preserving historical buildings, open space and agricultural landscapes. The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources has developed a Farm Reconnaissance Inventory Form for such surveys, available at http://www.nh.gov/nhdhr/programs/barn_survey.html
* Charlestown, Deerfield and Francestown have completed town-wide surveys of their barns.

We've all been there. We have a bar or club in mind that we want to go to that night, but we're curious how crowded (or not crowded) the place is beforehand.
Andrew Duke, owner and president of MyCrowdCam.com, is hoping he can help.
MyCrowdCam.com has web cams installed in the corners of area bars around Central Florida uploading a snapshot of the bar every five minutes to the website.
"There are two groups of people that we are targeting with these snapshots," says Duke in a press release. "There will be people on any given night looking for more of a laid back environment, something quiet. Maybe they're taking their significant other out for a drink and don't want to have to yell back and forth to hear each other. Then, of course, you've got another group of people that are looking for a place to go with more of a crowd scene."
Right now, there aren't a lot of bars signed up with the site. Currently you can check in on Baby Grand's Dueling Piano Bar, Froggers in Oviedo, Pretzels Bar & Grill, Shakers Lounge, Stix Billiards & Darts, Shotski's Food and Drink, and JC360 SportsGrille.
The picture quality is pretty clear and when the bar or club is closed the logo appears with a message stating they are not currently open — instead of a snapshot.
The links on the site are a bit slippery. You have to be quick to click on which bar you want, it will easily open another by accident. They just need a bit more spacing between links. Each bar link includes an address and phone number.
Besides a snap shot of what's happening, there is also a Twitter feed on the site to get regular updates from the bars and clubs on drink specials and events.
If you decide to out to one of the bars listed, show them the logo from MyCrowdCam and get a free beer or soda during the month of August.

There were over 500 murders in Chicago last year. Since Chicago is, like the schools the highly publicized shootings occur in, a victim disarmament zone; why don't each of those murders become an international story?
A few years ago there was a highly publicized shooting at the University of Alabama, Huntsville campus. A crazy woman (who had by the way murdered her brother years before, and got away with it) methodically walked around a table full of people, shooting them in the head with a pistol.
What the hell is wrong with people? Are we really that cowed down by the government and its laws on every possible human activity? I really believe that in that situation, assuming I even obeyed the asinine disarmament law (which is by no means a foregone conclusion), I would have been making myself a very difficult target by trying my absolute best to bash her head in with my chair!
I say this with a fair amount of certainty because I have had guns pointed at me, and I didn't freeze.
Instead of going down the list of objects they were looking for an excuse to ban, if the government really feels it needs to "do something," how about creating crisis survival/self defense classes in public schools instead of teaching students to cower and wait for the "proper authorities" to arrive?

- Stretchy rib knit fits close to the body
- Reinforced seams
- Approx. 27" long
- Machine wash and dry

- Made in the USA
Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 51 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sunset Rose Cool Cotton Hot Summer I was looking for loose fitting lightweight cotton small strapped t-shirts for hot, hot summer days. I've purchased them in the past for a few dollars each and I'd hoped to find more, but locating them has been impossible. I decided to try these and since receiving them they appear to be well made. I also read these ran small and on me that is a true assessment. The shirts are also a heavier weave/fabric than I was looking for. And, there is the price, but this store is expensive to begin with. I'll use them anyway and keep looking. June 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sick chick Nice, soft cami This is a lovely cami made of quality material. I didn't have any problem with the size. I measured myself and followed the chart. The cami fits perfectly. However, if you are a large busted woman this cami will not substitute for a bra. It does not provide support. But if you want a soft, fine material next to your skin, you can't go wrong with this cami. March 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MamaBear1935 Comfortable fitting product made in USA I have purchased these a number of times. March 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Happy long-time customer Comfortable, well-fitting These ribbed cotton camisoles fit comfortably close to the body without any tightness. The straps don't slip either. The cotton is absorbent but never gets soggy. A great underlayer or even bra substitute for those unable to wear them- just be aware they don't have support, just coverage and comfort. March 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Votes for Women Quality and Made in the USA! I bought the undershirts before and knew I would like these camisoles too. They are all cotton and so comfortable. I learned on my first order to buy a size larger than usual, since cotton tends to shrink. I try to avoid wearing a bra whenever possible, so these give me modesty, as well as comfort. February 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MATH77 Perfect fit and comfort under a cashmere sweater I bought a package of these shirts a few weeks ago and have found them to be wonderful. They add just the right touch of warmth and coverage. I have washed them and did not put them in the dryer. They dry very quickly on their own. The straps do not slip which makes them perfect. I am ordering another package. February 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Joy to the world Radiation treatments easier one the skin. Taking radiation treatments for breast cancer it was recommended that I wear 100% cotton camisoles, these are not always easy to find. I ordered from your company and was very pleased with your product. Fit was as stated and cotton very soft. I am very pleased with your product . February 1, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by TLStod TOO Thin I have worn this type of "undershirt" since a young girl. It is a wardrobe essential for me. It is harder & harder to find. Was thrilled to find it here 8 years ago. Was a little disappointed then but overall satisfied. The fabric a little too thin. Now, 8 years later, I've re-ordered & am now VERY disappointed. The fabric is now way TOO thin - half as thick it was/needs to be. Would really love a more substantial cotton undershirt. January 3, 2016

"Our fees are lower than the coasts. That's a reason so many people fly here for surgery."—Dr. Renato Saltz
A second spring
Elizabeth (not her real name) doesn't fit the Utah mommy makeover mold in some ways. She's from the Mormon culture, but older—near retirement age. But she has had a dozen or so children and decided recently that she wanted her body to match they way she felt physically. A slim blonde, Elizabeth swims two miles a day between a busy schedule of work and community involvement.
"I didn't have surgery because I was unhappy with myself or trying to appear to be something I'm not," she says. "I have a healthy body, and it has served me beautifully. But when you bear that many children, there is a price that is paid on the body. I didn't want to change myself—I wanted to put myself back together. My body didn't match up with how I felt about myself. If my body is not congruent with my health, then I'm distorted."
Though Elizabeth says she is not ashamed of the surgery, she comes from a generation that doesn't openly discuss medical issues in general. "It's a private matter. I don't dress differently. I don't behave differently," she says. "After the surgery I felt fresh. It felt good. It was like springtime again. Now, I feel I'm all one. I'm 40 years old again."
'It's for me'
Strong says that within her family and circle of friends, no stigma is attached to cosmetic surgery; she's even discussed it with her daughters. "A lot of girls are worried about people knowing about it," she says. "But I'm more open than that."
She doesn't go around bragging about her cosmetic work, but when she receives compliments from other women at races who are amazed by the body of the mother of three, Strong is honest. "When they say things like, 'I wish I could look like you,' I want them to know it's not just a matter of my exercising and eating well," she says. "I tell them I had some help."
So far, Strong says eight women from her circle of friends and family have gone to Yates for similar motherhood restoration surgeries. "He comes highly recommended around here."
Talking husbands into it
Another surprising reality of Utah plastic surgery is that women aren't undergoing it to please their husbands, let alone at their spouse's urging.
"The majority of women have it done for themselves," Strong says. "It's not for their husbands—although they obviously benefit. It has a huge impact on your self-esteem, I don't care who you are."
In fact, one of the biggest hurdles of getting a mommy makeover for many Utah women is that their husbands don't want to pay for cosmetic surgeries—which are not covered by health insurance.
"It's a big chunk of money," Strong says. "But I tell my girlfriends, 'Maybe you should ask your husband if his penis shrunk every time you had a child, would he be fine with that?'
"I know it's really blunt, but they giggle and laugh. I guess I'm rotten."
Strong says, for Utah mommies, it boils down to the rule of moderation in all things: "You can have some nips and tucks and fix some problems left over from having babies, but you don't need to go over the top."

Princeton Falls At Second-Ranked Trinity, Will Enter Howe Cup As Fifth Seed
The Princeton women's squash team will enter next weekend's Howe Cup national team championships as the fifth seed after falling short of an upset bid at second-ranked Trinity Saturday afternoon. The Tigers claimed only one match against the Bantams, who will be looking to make their second straight appearance in the finals.
The loss means that Princeton will have defeated all the teams ranked below them in the most recent rankings, and it will have lost to the four teams ranked higher. The Tigers lost to the top three teams in the latest poll (Harvard, Trinity and Penn), though all four of those losses came on the road.
If they get one more chance at any of the three, it will come at much friendlier confines. The Howe Cup begins Friday morning at the Jadwin Squash Courts, where Princeton is 5-1 in its last two Howe Cups. That stretch included a national championship in 2008 as the second seed, as well as a third-place finish in 2011 as the fifth seed.
Trinity took control of Saturday's match early, sweeping the first shift to open a 3-0 lead. Both Nicole Bunyan (3) and Tara Harrington (9) fell in four games, while junior Hallie Dewey was pushed to five games at the No. 6 spot. Dewey had been undefeated during the regular season, but Natalie Babjukova was able to control the final game for an 11-5 win.
The Bantams were actually able to clinch the team win early in the second shift, sweeping 3-0 matches at both the No. 2 and No. 8 positions. Princeton junior Alex Lunt was able to grab a 2-1 lead at the fifth position, but Ashley Tidman won the final two games to open a 6-0 lead.
Reigning CSA individual finalist Kanzy El Defrawy topped Princeton freshman Maria Elena Ubina 3-0 at the No. 1 spot, but senior co-captain Alex Sawin made sure Princeton got on the board with a 3-0 win at No. 7. She won two close games over Sachika Balvani, and then carried the momentum into the third game for an 11-2 win.
Trinity closed the match with a 3-0 win at the No. 4 spot.
Princeton will face Yale in the 4-5 quarterfinal Friday, and it will look to avenge a tight 5-4 loss to the Bulldogs at Jadwin earlier this month. All times for the tournament will be announced in the Howe Cup preview on GoPrincetonTigers.com later this week.
1. Kanzy El Defrawy (T) d. Maria Elena Ubina, 11-4, 11-4, 11-8
2. Catalina Pelaez (T) d. Libby Eyre, 11-3, 11-2, 11-6
3. Wee Nee Low (T) d. Nicole Bunyan, 11-9, 5-11, 11-1, 11-5
4. Anna Kimberley (T) d. Rachel Leizman, 11-7, 11-7, 11-5
5. Ashley Tidman (T) d. Alex Lunt, 7-11, 11-7, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8
6. Natalie Babjukova (T) d. Hallie Dewey, 8-11, 7-11, 11-6, 11-6, 11-5
7. Alex Sawin (P) d. Sachika Balvani, 11-8, 11-9, 11-2
8. Jennifer Pelletier (T) d. Alexandra Toth, 11-8, 11-4, 11-9
9. Chanel Erasmus (T) d. Tara Harrington, 11-6, 11-6, 5-11, 11-9

Here are solutions to some common problems with installing Windows.
If you don't have a product key to type during the installation process, you must buy a new product key and activate Windows within 30 days after installation.
Where do I find my Windows product key?
Get a new Windows product key
Activating Windows: frequently asked questions
Installation might stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:
Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then begin the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you might need to replace it. For more information, go to How to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware on the Microsoft website.
Your CD or DVD drive is not working properly, or the disc might be vibrating too much for the laser to accurately read the data. For more information about this problem, consult your hardware documentation, or contact the CD or DVD drive manufacturer.
If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer might be trying to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not being used, disable the drives that you aren't using. Otherwise, try inserting the disc into a different drive, and then start the installation again.
There is a virus on your computer. Run an antivirus program to scan your system and identify needed repairs. Be sure to disable the antivirus program before beginning the installation again.
For information about starting Windows from a CD or DVD, see Start Windows from a CD or DVD.
This is usually caused by hardware or software that is incompatible with Windows Vista. If you have this problem, follow these steps:
Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Watch the hard disk indicator (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard disk is running) to see if there is any activity. If your hard disk appears to be working, the installation should be in progress. If your hard disk does not appear to be working, go to step 2.
Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.
If the installation fails again, there might be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows Vista.
If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary hardware. Remove universal serial bus (USB) devices; remove or disable network adapters, sound cards, and serial cards; and then restart the installation.
If the computer still stops responding during installation, contact your computer manufacturer or retailer.
If you see an error message during installation, read it carefully and follow any instructions it contains to help you resolve the problem. If you need more information, go to the list of error messages you might see when upgrading to Windows Vista
It's best to get important updates for installation at the beginning of the installation process. These updates include security updates and hardware driver updates that might resolve the error. To get installation updates, you need a working Internet connection during installation. If you do not have an Internet connection, you can still install Windows, but you won't be able to get the installation updates.
You can try running a troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common problems with hardware and devices.
Click this button:
Fix this problem
In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
You can also try reinstalling the program or device. If that doesn't solve the problem, check with the manufacturer for a newer version of the program or device—one that is designed to work with Windows Vista. For more information, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly.
For detailed information about installing and upgrading 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, go to Installation choices for Windows Vista (32-bit)
or Installation choices for Windows Vista (64-bit)
If your computer loses power during installation, Windows will attempt to revert to your current operating system. You can continue to use your current version of Windows, but some features might not work.
Before you try to install Windows again, troubleshoot and eliminate the problems that might have caused your computer to lose power. Check power cables and power strips and replace any faulty parts. When you have done this, try installing Windows Vista again. Back up your files and then perform a clean installation (an installation that automatically replaces your existing version of Windows, including all of your files, settings, and programs). You must manually reinstall your programs and restore the files you backed up when the installation is completed.
Make sure that the monitor cable connections are tight and that the video card is correctly installed in the computer. If the monitor image flickers, you might need to change the monitor resolution. For more information, see Correct monitor flicker (refresh rate).
It's a good idea to check your monitor software and video card. For more information, see Troubleshoot monitor and video card problems. You might also need to get the latest driver for your video card or monitor. For more information, see Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly.
Try running a troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common sound playback issues.
For detailed information about upgrading from language versions of Windows XP to Windows Vista, go to You cannot upgrade certain language versions of Windows XP to Windows Vista
To look for more solutions, go to the Windows Vista Solution Center
on the Microsoft website.

The Red Clay Board of Education voted unanimously to name the new elementary school to be built off Graves Road after longtime Red Clay educator William 'Buzzy' Cooke toward the end of its monthly meeting held Wednesday at Warner Elementary School.
The new school in Hockessin now bears the name William Cooke Jr. Elementary School thanks to the board action.
Cook, who was known for his personable style as an educator, spent the last 10 years of his career as principal of the popular Brandywine Springs School, a very hard school to choice into. The name William Cooke Jr. Elementary School beat out two others that fit the criteria set out by the committee – Alice Coleman Elementary and Piedmont Elementary, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ted Amman had said. Two more names did not make the cut – Joe Biden Elementary, and Graves Road Elementary, he said.
The audience of Red Clay administrators, teachers, parents and school board candidates applauded the board's 7-0 vote.

A really interesting organization launched last night called the Freedom of the Press Foundation, with a slew of prominent individuals involved. For one, there is Glenn Greenwald, one of my favorite journalists active today who used to work for Salon and now writes for the UK's Guardian. Also on the board is Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame; John Perry Barlow a co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation; Xeni Jardin of the Web site Boing Boing; and actor John Cusack. The idea behind the organization is to support and fund unbiased journalism, particularly the kind that governments and intelligence organizations around the world may not like. What really bothered all of the founders involved and served as a call to action was the way WikiLeaks was systematically cut off from the financial system. The Huffington Post writes:
NEW YORK — Not long after WikiLeaks began publishing leaked diplomatic cables in November 2010, the anti-secrecy organization ran into trouble raising money.
Increased government scrutiny and criticism from lawmakers prompted several companies, including MasterCard, Visa and PayPal, to stop processing donations to the non-profit organization. WikiLeaks eventually suspended publication due to the "bank blockade."

Hey guys. After some digging around I found this site and it looks cool and there seems to be alot of people who know what they are talking about when it comes to Myers masks. I have to admit I know absolutely nothing about the different kind of masks and their history and quality. I mainly collect 1/6 figures and statues but I have bought 2 Myers masks so far and need some help. Well the first one I bought it says is a St. Nick and it looks pretty good to me.....I'm pretty sure its nowhere near as good as some of the top of the line ones but the 2nd one I bought is called the Psychopath2 and I like the face and details on the mask, but the hair is a problem. There seems to be patches of hair missing from certain spots....unlike on the St. Nick where the hair is nice and full. Can you tell me if I can just get some hair and try to fill in the spots myself or if I have to have all the hair replaced with a new kind. If I can do it then what type of hair is this. Its pretty thin and stringy feeling.Thanks for any help.
