Pam Lins, "Charles the VI layout and fog," 2011, oil on panel, 18 x 14"
Austin Thomas is helping Scot Cohen organize "Pop-up Gallery Portraits" at 430 Warren Street in Hudson, NY. The exhibition opens on July 30 and will coincide with NADA Hudson, a large-scale exhibition featuring projects by galleries like Jeff Bailey, Canada, DCKT, Dodge, Derek Eller, Feature, Rachel Uffner and Regina Rex. Located in an office space on the main street, Thomas and Cohen's pop-up exhibition will feature 18 artists whose portraits in photography, sculpture, painting, drawing, collage and abstraction address notions of literal and symbolic personal representation. One of my new paintings will be in the show, along with work by Sascha Braunig, Roz Chast, David Dupuis, Andre Ethier, Dan Fischer, General Idea, Maira Kalman, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Kristen Jensen, Pam Lins, Keith Mayerson, Jen Mazza, Matthew Miller, Judith Page, Alex Prager, Adam Simon, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Peter Stichbury and Austin Thomas.

Andre Ethier, Untitled, oil on panel, around 30 x 24"
A two-hour train ride up the river from Manhattan, Hudson has attracted international artists like Marina Abromovic and Jason Middlebrook and is home to numerous galleries (including John Davis). The organizers say NADA Hudson isn't an art fair (admission is free) but rather a site-specific project that will showcase contemporary sculpture, installation and performance in an old 8000 square-foot foundry and 10,000 square-feet of outdoor space on the waterfront. Sounds like a great day trip.
"A Pop-up Portrait Show," Scot Cohen Realty, 430 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534. For more information, contact (518) 822-1191. July 30 through September 3, 2011. Stop by the opening reception Saturday, July 30th from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.

Student-Centered Resources, Facilities, and ActivitiesUniversity Libraries
Serving the diverse needs of graduate students and faculty, the University Libraries are integral to the research and instructional programs of Wright State University. Besides the traditional collections and services, the libraries use the latest technology to provide access to information. The on-line library system provides information about local library collections and, through OhioLINK, provides access to the major academic collections throughout the state of Ohio. Computer work-stations, located in the reference areas of both libraries, provide access to numerous electronic journal indexes, research databases, and Internet resources in a wide range of subject areas. Reference librarians are available seven days a week to help students and faculty in the use of collections and on-line resources. Both libraries also offer group instruction sessions on various topics every quarter. Through a variety of cooperative agreements, Wright State users can borrow materials directly from many academic libraries in the local and statewide area.
The Paul Laurence Dunbar Library
The Dunbar Library collections, among the largest in the Dayton area, include over 688,000 bound volumes, 1.3 million microforms, 425,000 U.S. and Ohio documents, 3,800 current periodical subscriptions, and 31,000 musical scores and sound recordings. The library building is open 90 hours per week. The facilities include study tables and carrels for group and individual study, current periodicals/microforms/media reading & viewing rooms, and photocopiers on each floor. Staff at the information desk on the second floor assist users with brief factual or directional questions, while professional librarians provide in-depth assistance at the research consultation office. Staff in the Student Technology Assistance Center (STAC) on the second floor offer instruction on various multimedia tools for use on class assignments and in future employment.
Special collections of note include one of the world's largest depositories of information about the Wright brothers. More than 6,000 items include manuscripts, records, and books, as well as 4,000 photographs made from the Wrights' own negatives. Other materials and collections relating to local and regional history draw researchers from afar. A collection of materials relating to the history and culture of African Americans is maintained in a reading room on the second floor.
Other services include library orientation tours, classroom instructional sessions and demonstrations, course reserves, and interlibrary loan for materials unavailable locally or through the OhioLINK system.SOCHE
Wright State students also have hundreds of additional classes available to them through the university's membership in the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE), a consortium that includes many colleges and universities in the area. Full-time students at Wright State may cross-register for credit at SOCHE member schools at Wright State's tuition rates as long as class space is available, they have their advisor's consent, and the course isn't available at Wright State. They must also meet the course and host college prerequisites.
The consortium also offers cooperative library privileges to students at all member institutions. These library holdings total more than a million volumes.The Center for Teaching and Learning
The Center for Teaching and Learning provides comprehensive development and instructional support services for students and faculty. The center conducts numerous workshops for the professional development of faculty and teaching assistants in areas including improving instructional skills and developing an appreciation of, and the ability to apply, both traditional and evolving technologies to the instructional process. Distributed learning encourages faculty to engage in new modes of instruction for students far removed from traditional campus classrooms. Additionally, the center provides a wide variety of support services to the entire campus community.
The center's production services include a full range of photographic services, graphic design and production, audio and video services, multimedia and web development. The center's technical service units provide for the selection, delivery, setup, and operation of media and computer equipment in classrooms and for other campus activities and events.
For more information, see the center's Web site at http://www.wright.edu/ctl/.Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS)
Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS) provides service and support for university telephones, campus networking, Internet access, and administrative and student computing resources. WSU students are encouraged to use these resources to enhance their learning experience. CaTS maintains computer labs (most open 24 hours) with computers networked to international resources, laser printers, and numerous software applications to complement students' classroom activities. The computers in these labs not only provide desktop applications, but also provide access to larger computing platforms, such as the University Libraries' databases and other Internet resources. WSU has a strong commitment to provide accessibility to all of its students. In support of this commitment, a variety of adaptive technologies are available to provide computer access to students with physical disabilities.
All students should obtain a CaTS CAMPUS account. The CAMPUS account provides them with the account name and password necessary to access the Internet, e-mail, personal and class disk space on network file servers, and other computing resources. Student accounts remain active only as long as they are enrolled in classes. Account owners are responsible for any improper or illegal activity that occurs on their accounts. CAMPUS accounts can be picked up at the Help Desk in 025 Library Annex. The CaTS Help Desk is the single point of contact for university computing questions, problems, and requests. Analysts are available to help seven days a week.

WINGS Resource Center
Bolinga Cultural Resources Center
The Bolinga Cultural Resources Center opened on January 15, 1971, as a tribute to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The word bolinga means love in Lingala, an African language, and the center promotes cultural pluralism on campus through programs, lectures, and seminars. The center's programs consist of a minority scholars speakers series, community speakers series, and film series. Moreover, it has two important resources: the African American Collection, comprising over 3,000 books and periodicals relating to the African American experience (located in the university's main library), and the Peer Supportive Services Program, a program of advising, mentoring, and tutoring services.Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center
The Asian/Hispanic/Native American Center was created in October 1997 to support the academic, social, and cultural needs of Asian, Hispanic, and Native American students, faculty, and staff at the university. It also serves as an informational resource center regarding the Asian, Hispanic, Native American experience and creates an appreciation and understanding of the diverse Asian, Hispanic, and Native American cultures represented within the community. The center's programs consist of guest speakers, workshops, film series, and celebrations of the Hispanic, Native American, and Asian Heritage Months.Women's Center
The Women's Center serves as an information clearinghouse on women's issues and services, fostering greater ties between women at Wright State and women in the community. The center promotes gender equity through educational programs and activities that honor the roles, contributions, and experiences of all women. The center also provides resource support for the Women's Studies program and accommodates meetings, workshops, and other small group gatherings that address the concerns and interests of women on campus.International Programs
The University Center for International Education Office offers assistance to more than 650 international students from 70 countries around the world with immigration and cultural adjustment issues. It also coordinates an international exchange program for student interested in studying abroad. Short term programs are offered each summer and winter. Quarter or year-long study abroad opportunities are offered in Australia, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell: Provides extreme breathability along with durable waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather, high-aerobic activities. It combines a lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane, with fine denier performance textiles to deliver a streamlined three-layer construction. New for Spring '12, this brings a never-before-seen level of comfort performance to waterproof apparel.
GORE-TEX® Paclite®: Combining extreme breathability and durable wind and waterproof protection with minimum weight and pack volume, GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells use a specific membrane with a protective internal layer made of an oil-hating/carbon hybrid – eliminating the need for a separate lining, making this lighter, smaller, and easier to pack away.
GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.

EAGLE Freeware
EAGLE Freeware is CadSoft's gift to the electronics engineer world. Perfect for small, simple designs and to evaluate the basics of EAGLE, this non-commercial license is free for all. Freeware has not restrictions from EAGLE's full functionality, although it does have sheet, board size and layer limitations. If you need more power than the Freeware version provides, our EAGLE Make Portfolio could be of interest to you.
The EAGLE Light Edition can be used for free!
How do I get it?
Follow these steps to install the free EAGLE Light Edition on your system:
- Go to the Download area and get the file that contains the EAGLE program installation data for your operating system (Linux, Windows or Mac).
- Install the file you have downloaded onto your system.
- When you first start EAGLE, you will be asked whether you have a personalized license disk, or whether you want to run EAGLE as Freeware. To use the Freeware license select the "Run as freeware" button.
The following limitations apply to the EAGLE Light Edition in general:
- The useable board area is limited to 100 x 80 mm (4 x 3.2 inches).
- Only two signal layers can be used (Top and Bottom).
- The schematic editor can only create two sheets.
Apart from these three limitations the EAGLE Light Edition can do anything the Professional Edition can do. You can even load, view and print drawings that exceed these limits!
The Freeware version of EAGLE Light adds these limitations:
- Support is only available via email or through our forum (no fax or phone support).
- Use is limited to non-profit applications or evaluation purposes.
What does "non-profit" mean?
The definition of non-profit is fairly simple and straightforward:
If you earn (or save) money by using the Freeware version of EAGLE Light, you have to register it.
This allows anybody who wishes to use EAGLE Light for their private hobby projects to do so. Also students can use this version for any educational projects. It is even ok to use this version in a commercial environment, as long as you just want to evaluate the program. As soon as you start using it for commercial projects, you will have to register it. As an exception to this, board manufacturers may use the Freeware Light Edition to generate production data (e.g. Gerber files) from board files they have received from EAGLE users.
Is it really useful?
Maybe you think the limitations of EAGLE Light won't allow you to do anything meaningful? Well, take a look at this 68HC12 board, which does not exceed the capabilities of EAGLE Light (in fact you can do even bigger boards than the one shown there).
How can I register/upgrade?
If your application exceeds the non-profit domain, or if you prefer to have access to full support via phone or fax, you can register your program copy and receive your own, personalized license file. Any files you have created with the Freeware version of EAGLE Light can be used with any registered version of EAGLE Light, Standard or Professional. So if your project exceeds the limits of EAGLE Light, you can always go to a higher level (and you only have to pay the difference between what you have and what you are upgrading to).
If you need more power than the Freeware version provides, maybe our EAGLE Hobbyist can be of interest to you.
Redistributing EAGLE
The Freeware version of EAGLE may be redistributed with Linux distributions, software collections or project CD-ROMs.
Here's how you can do it:
- Download the form that contains some questions regarding where and how you are planning to include the EAGLE Freeware (if you can't handle ODF files, here it is as a DOC file).
- Fill out the form and send it to us by fax (+49-8635-698940) or email (email@example.com).
- Once we have approved your application, we will send you a letter describing the terms and conditions under which you may redistribute the EAGLE Freeware (if you can't handle ODF files, here it is as a DOC file).
- Read that letter carefully and make sure you fully understand and agree with it.
- Sign the letter and mail it back to us (postal mail is required, no fax or email).

Multiple intruders suspected in Tabor City killing
Published: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 3:11 p.m.
A Chadbourn man was killed and a Tabor City man injured during a home invasion Tuesday on Shug Norris Road in Tabor City, according to the Columbus County Sheriff's Office.
Just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to 332 Shug Norris Road, east of Tabor City, where they discovered the body of Lee Travis Wright, 20, of 16331 Peacock Road in Chadbourn, according to Capt. David Nobles.
Johnathan Elgin Long, 25, also was found. Nobles said Long was shot multiple times and was taken to Loris Hospital. His condition was not released. Long lives at the home.
Nobles said evidence at the scene suggests multiple intruders entered Long's home and Wright was there visiting.
An autopsy Wednesday determined Wright was shot once in the chest, Nobles said.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 30 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jwln2009 The Sophia chair is above & beyond my expectations! We ordered 4 of the dinning chairs and 2 of the counter stools in the Sophia express to replace older chairs that were too heavy and falling apart. I cannot believe how light and comfortable the Sophia chairs are. Our two young boys, now call them the comfy chairs! I will be ordering at least 2 more counter stools and feel very good about ordering more items from World Market and having my expectations met! These are the best chairs for the price. January 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smellstheroses Sturdy, Classic, Versatile - A Great Chair! I've been looking for the perfect dining chair for a while now and was making do with old chairs until I felt I found the perfect chair. This is it. The leather is dark and beautiful. The wood stain is lovely. The chair is comfortable, easy to clean and holds up nicely. I added some felt floor pegs to the bottom of the legs so the legs don't scrape the floor. My friend even said they were the most comfortable chair she has sat in for a while and she's pretty picky. If you are looking for a classic, clean lined chair that will hold the test of time, this is it. April 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vail2014 Great Chair!!! Great quality, nice leather, looks great with my table and in the room. If you like a mountain contemporary elegance feel with the right amount of casual and the right amount of luxury, these chairs are for you. Love these chairs! July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SaraAusSD Good chairs My boyfriend and I were looking for fairly inexpensive chairs but we also needed sturdy as we have had some furniture break when larger friends were over. So far, it's been over a year and there are no signs of falling quality. The padding is holding up, the leather still looks great and the frame is showing no signs of wear. Not to mention they are comfortable enough to sit for hours chatting over dinner with friends. We're very happy with them! March 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by quiqui Very happy with our purchase! These chairs are perfect for the dark color of our dinning table! Not only did they meet our expectations, but they are also very comfortable. December 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryB Excellent for the Price We have had four Sophia espresso leather chairs for several years. They are still comfortable, still sturdy. But the leather is peeling. So we are going to replace them with four new ones. To buy these chairs with top-grain leather, as opposed to bonded leather, would cost three or four times as much. With this chair, we spread the cost over a longer period of time, and have the option to change our minds if we get tired of the style or color. October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CBM3 simple, elegant, comfy! We looked for so long to find the perfect brown leather chairs. These chairs are not only affordable but look great and are quite comfortable. We are very happy with this purchase. September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by a2sarah Not tall I went to my local store today and sat on a Sophia chair... And sure enough, my feet were not touching the floor... BUT... I was sitting on the Sophia counter chair, not the regular chair. There is a counter, a bar and a regular chair. The regular chair was just the right height, and I am only 5'4". Just thought I would clear that up for people. June 1, 2013

With a career spanning over a decade that includes three albums on Ninja Tune/Big Dada and a reputation for energetic performances the world over, Ty is no stranger to this music 'ish. A native of London with Nigerian roots, his music speaks diversity as he shines on production, lyric content, and London-inflected hip-hop delivery. Ty continues this tradition on his latest effort Special Kind Of Fool with the help of some very special guests including Anthony Mills, Carroll Thompson, Corey Mwamba, D-Cross, Erik Rico, Finn Peters, Leo Ihenacho, Robin Mullarkey, Roses Gabor, Sarina Leah, Shaun Escoffery, Soweto Kinch, Sway, Terri Walker, Vula Malinga, and Wreh-Asha.
On this album, Ty transforms his emotions into a palatable listening experience that we all can feel, and reminds us "You can dumb down the music and make everybody dance but you can't take the pain away." In addition to offering his listeners glimpses into his personal motivations behind the music, Ty is also effective in articulating societal pressures as he speaks on contemporary culture, employment, race, class, youth, mortality and the desire and effort to overcome the harshness that can sometimes consume us.
Here he is explaining why it was important for him to make this album as well as where he was emotionally during the process:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/-UOJ0H6Gohk" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
You may already be familiar with his production on "Supernova", the single from Joy Jones' debut album, Godchild, released on Future Soul Records (and a Giant Step favorite!). He continues to show his versatility on this latest project, with sample and synth driven tracks, polyrhythms, and even flips the time signature on the title track, proving this isn't your standard backbeat 4/4 hip-hop. Highlights include: "Don't Cry," "Wait," "Something Big," "Emotions," "Me," "Falling," and the beautiful instrumental "Endtro."
Stay tuned for a 2010 tour.

I know this is a bit off and random bt most of you know lupe is a big otaku and so am i, so what are your favorite anime/manga series? And what do you think lu is into right now? FNF up!!
Forum category:
I am a 100% certfied Otaku
I am a 100% certfied Otaku my fav anime: - Naruto - Fairy Tail - Angel Beats! - K-On! and K-On!! - Zero no Tsukaima - Toradora! - Shugo Chara - Shakugan no Shana - Boku wa Tomoachi ga Sukunai - Oreimo - Lucky Star - Clannad - Hyouka - Vocaloid (but vocaloid isnt an anime :P) - etc.
Naruto is the only anime I watch. I kinda given up on all the other anime because I'm too far behind. I don't feel like catching up. Then again, I watch kekkashi. That's a pretty dope show.
ONE PIECE, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN, BLEACH, SAMURAI CHAPLOON, FMA, DBZ, DEATH NOTE, SOUL EATER, Rurouni Kenshin, MUCH MORE
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]" NIANJA909 - You seem well versed in otaku shit, just like you assume niggas feel Lu to feel better about themselves, I assume you talk shit to make your life seem brighter. Anyway enough of that, you feed a troll once they keep following you. Naruto, but fuck a dub, FMA and Kenshin ftw.
"YOU'RE still a broke ass nerd living in your mothers basement" But yo... I don't watch anime. So it's all good still.
Ayo Ian YOU'RE still a broke ass nerd living in your mothers basement, hoping people will bite and respond.
btw, to answer the question. I used to watch DBZ occasionally. That's about it as far as Japanese animated shows though.
And don't lie, you know you watch Hentai as your main source of pornography as well. How come I don't see that in any of the responses lol.
And by the way, all the geek wear like calc watches n gay s*** like that is just fashion these days bro. To appeal to the nerdy audience that never used to be targeted, now you get to be sheep too. Congratulations. A bunch of niggas wear crosses, doesn't mean they are legitimately religious now does it? He really doesn't care about your depressing little world that much bruh. Get over it.
"your an idiot lu said it him self that he is a big otaku, its a culture and lifestyle in half his songs he makes anime references dumb fuck, for god sakes he used to walk around with a wii ninja hanging from his belt loop, and he has a gold calculator watch so stfu!!!" lulz, Big Business & Marketing > Your Feeble Mind. Lu himself said he is big on Otaku eh, he makes references in his songs n such. Well okay then, I guess I gotta believe him now. I mean, it's not like there are any rappers that exaggerate their criminal background. And, I'm sure all the rappers who've spoken about guns and drug dealing, MUST have done those things since they've referenced them in their music. Anyways, Lu's got money, you're still a broke ass nerd living in your mothers basement. Whether he likes anime or not (which I'll tell you right now, he does not like it as much as your geek ass. Wearing a Wii Ninja hardly means he spends hours at his computer with his inhaler looking up collectible toys and cartoon box collections like you.) he has other means of securing his position as NOT a loser, unlike you. I'm sure the idea of nerd stuff like "Otaku" is great when you're rich and do other cewl stuff. But when you're just plain nerd and uninteresting, it just means you fail @ life.
"I'm cool as fuck and I love anime, so you're fine kid." Lmao, this dude straight up in denial. And your Icon doesn't make any arguments for you either. You look like a faggot douche frat boy there as well.
Mine would have to be Neon Genesis Evangelion tied with Cowboy Bebop Tekkon Kinkreet and Lupin the Third are definitely up there though! Bebop was very Lupin-inspired.
what's so pathetic about liking animes? *rolls eyes* like shh for once. i like rurouni kenshin, best anime ever! :]
Lupe Steals like Lupin the 3rd! haha I'm also a HUGE Otaku, but more closet than anything haha. And that Ninja kid's a douche, don't listen to him. I'm cool as fuck and I love anime, so you're fine kid.
Contrary to what you might think, Lupe is not as big a nerd as you are. You're still a mega geek who also happens to be a virgin (How original), and trying to associate yourself with Lupe so people don't think you're so pathetic isn't going to change this.

Macaw Bio-centric Development
This thesis uses the Tambopata Macaw Project (TMP) as a case study to explore an approach I call "bio-centric development."2 Rather than making humans the object of development, as do current approaches covered in the literature, the purpose of the biocentric approach is to improve the health and well-being of non-human species, their habitats, and larger environmental entities like ecosystems. In addition to its alternative objectives and outcomes, the bio-centric approach is also different in its ecocentric grounding. This orientation grants equal importance both to humankind and to non-human species, and emphasizes non-material human gain and qualitative change rather than quantitative economic growth.

Happy Thanksgiving from Antarctica!

Our visit to the Adelie Penguin Colony was cut short by white conditions with 40 knots per hour winds. All passengers were on the island which was a ten minute helicopter ride from the icebreaker. After one hour on shore, the wind and snow flurries increased until the icebreaker was no longer visible from shore. By that time, we were spread out over a one mile stretch of beach. We hurried back to the three tents at base camp for warmth until the helicopters were able to return to the island to pick us up for our safe return to the ship. After returning to the ship we all were thankful for our brief but real Antarctica experience!

Hi all
Of course, I still have to do all the hard work, but the NXT mixes the ice cream for me while in the freezer. I can control the speed of the robot from the brick and see the actual speed on it.
Last try was vanilla and orio's cookies! came out not bad at all.
The real problem here is that the price of the batteries isn't worth the ice cream it makes...

|Silver & Goldspys Handed Out
MOSCOW, Idaho—The University of Idaho celebrated its 2013-14 athletic achievements Saturday night, during the fifth annual Silver & Goldspy Award Show, presented by Pepsi and Sodexo.
The event is organized by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and each award is voted upon by the student-athletes, coaches and staff. In its fifth year of existence, the event showcased Vandal highlights from the year, featured comedic video presentations and several individual and team honors from the season.
Junior Stacey Barr beat out a strong list of candidates for Female Athlete of the Year. Barr added to her list of honors in 2014 which already include Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year and WAC Tournament MVP.
Barr, averaged 18.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 34 games for Idaho. She scored in double figures in 31 of her 34 games, posting 20 or more points in 16 contests. The Melbourne, Australia native, netted 620 points in 2013-14, good enough for fourth on Idaho's all-time single season scoring list. Barr scored a career-high 35 points against Chicago State in the WAC Tournament and finished the season with 13 double-doubles.
Senior Stephen Madison took home the Male Athlete of the Year honor.
Madison averaged team-bests of 20.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks per game in 2013-14 and finished his career as Idaho's second all-time leading scorer with 1,624 points. His 684 points in 2013-14 are the fourth best in a single-season in Idaho history and his 20.1 scoring average ranked 24th in the nation. Madison was a first team All-Western Athletic Conference and WAC all-tournament team selection, and earned a league-record five WAC Player of the Week honors during the season.
Track & Field swept the Freshman of the Year categories with Arphaxad Carroll and Meghan Palesch winning Male and Female honors, respectively. Carroll was also awarded the Most Clutch Athlete of the Year.
Carroll hit a season-best mark in the long jump with a leap of 23-9.5 (7.25m) at the Cougar Indoor. He also ran a season-best time of 6.90 in the 60m at the Western Athletic Conference Championships meet and earned a WAC title in the triple jump with a season-best mark of 49-2.5 (15.00m). In addition, Carroll also received the WAC Freshman of the Year award.
Palesch ran a season-best time in the 60m at the Idaho Open finishing second overall. She also hit a season-best time in the 400m at the Husky classic with a time of 57.33, her time of 8.82 in the 60m hurdles at the Idaho Collegiate also was a season-best mark over the indoor season. At the WAC championships, Palesch placed fourth in the finals of the 60m hurdles and was also on the fourth-place 4x400 relay team.
The Biggest Upset of the Year award was handed out to the men's cross country team. In 2013 the men's long distance runners took second at the WAC Championships, their best finish since 2007. Individually, Idaho's Nicholas Boersma became the Vandals' first individual conference champion since Vic Dyrgall won the Pacific Coast Conference title in 1941. Cody Helbling and Santos Vargas completed the individual podium, finishing second and third.
The 2013-14 Team of the Year was full of stiff competition. Women's basketball and women's cross country both won their respective WAC titles over the course of the season. Ultimately cross country's completion of their four-peat won out as they were awarded Team of the Year.
Idaho's women claimed the top spot just ahead of Seattle U by a 23 point margin. Senior Hannah Kiser won her second-straight Western Athletic Conference title and was voted WAC Cross Country Athlete of the Year of the second year in a row.
The Best Moment of 2013-14 was handed out the 2014 WAC Men's Indoor Track & Field Champions. Idaho men's track claimed the 2014 Indoor WAC title in a dramatic meet that came down to one point. The meet, hosted by Idaho, came down the final jumps in the triple jump. Idaho led with 157 points followed closely by Grand Canyon with 152. Carroll came up big for Idaho with a career-best jump of 49-2.5 (15.00m) that secured the win for the Vandals. It was the Vandals' first indoor title since 2012.
Idaho's 2013-14 Coach of the Year was handed out to Wayne Phipps. Phipps was the 2013 Women's Cross Country and the 2014 Men's Indoor Coach of the Year. Phipps produced the 2013 WAC Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year and the Men's Indoor Freshman of the Year.
Rounding out the awards for the night were Mr. and Ms. Congeniality. Seniors Colin Briggs, men's track & field, and Alyssa Charlston, women's basketball, earned the respective honors. This year is the first for the award that recognizes the athletes that show good sportsmanship on the field and are well known off the field for their outgoing and kind personalities.

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments.
That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently.
It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year.
The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise.
Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board.
Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.)
Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said.
But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help.
School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including:
• assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation);
• capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually;
• increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15;
• requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable);
• grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program.
"We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program."
Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said.
The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month.

Authorities say two men have been arrested on charges of stealing thousands of dollars in copper from farm irrigation pivots in Mississippi and selling it in Arkansas.
Curtis Tigues and Ernest Calvin were indicted last month in U.S. District Court in Greenville and arrested Tuesday.
A news release from U.S. Attorney Felicia Adams says Tigues, 29, is from Inverness. Calvin, 31, if from Belzoni.
The indictments say that Tigues and Calvin each sold more than 300 pounds of copper for scrap in Lake Village, Ark., in December 2010.

|Reg Carolan
Reg Carolan was a multi-talented star for the Vandals from 1957-62. As a two-sport athlete, Carolan stood out for Idaho in both basketball and football. Carolan was a tight end and punter for the Vandal football squad. In 1960, Carolan averaged an impressive 40.6 yards per punt, caught a team-leading 33 passes for 488 yards and three touchdowns and led the team with 20 points scored. In 1961, he led the Vandals in receiving again with 21 catches for 225 yards and one touchdown with a long of 43 yards. He helped the Vandals to a 32-42 record in his three years on the court from 1958-61. After his college career ended, he got a call from the San Diego Chargers in the 17th round of the 1961 American Football League Draft. It didn't take him long to have an impact, as he earned a spot on the 1962 AFL All-Star game. His professional career spanned seven years and included a 1966 AFL title with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Just trying to think ahead a bit here. I've collected many 45" parts over the years, so much so that I'm more or less in a position to build what I've always wanted to build, a 45" flat track/bobber style bike. I have a frame, engine,gearbox, clutch etc etc. The one thing I don't have is springer legs, I have springs and rockers etc ,I'm not sold on buying from India, I don't know what the quality would be like. So I wanted to find out if anyone has experience of fitting a telescopic front end?, and if so from what bike?. I'm concerned also about the rake/trail, I read the 45 stock frame is quite shallow 23 degrees , I think that may be too little for road riding, so am I committed to springing for springers?.
No rush because I'm still in the middle of my long time owned stock WLC tidy up

Football team could defuse controversy with name change
Published: Friday, June 20, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 11:18 a.m.
A term that one person finds endearing may be offensive to someone else. That truism continues to play out in the ongoing debate about the nickname of Washington's professional football team. The latest action took place Wednesday, when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled the Redskins' trademark protections should be cancelled. The decision only affected trademarks issued between 1967 and 1990, so the current rendition isn't involved. The team immediately appealed, so a final decision could be years away.
However, a quicker resolution could occur if team owner Daniel Snyder made a decision that more and more people seek: change the team's nickname and logo. Sports teams change nicknames for numerous reasons, sometimes due to offensive terms. Another Washington team, the NBA's Wizards, dropped Bullets due to concern about gun violence. However, Snyder has remained resolute that he won't change the name.
Many Davidson County residents have more than a passing interest in the controversy. Before the Carolina Panthers came into existence, many residents rooted for either Washington or Atlanta, since those cities had the closest NFL teams. A good number of Native Americans also call the county home. The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians remains the only federally recognized tribe in North Carolina, although many other tribes have a presence in the state.
Some people could make a legitimate argument that the nation has more important concerns than the nickname of a professional football team; even U.S. senators have weighed in on this issue. Yet sports plays a major role in the nation, right or wrong. Americans pay attention to teams and players. So a change involving a team's nickname can have ramifications in the way average folks view terms and issues.
Indian terms aren't the only ones that can cause offense to some people. Confederate nicknames, for example, also came under fire when integration of schools occurred in the 1960s. A few holdouts remain in that area as well. Fans of these teams cite tradition and deep-seated allegiance to the nickname as a reason not to change.
But all of us should be concerned with avoiding terms that others find offensive, even if we don't fully understand the reason. Enough people have raised concerns about Washington's nickname that the team should seriously consider a change. While it might be giving up its legacy, it would also see a spike in merchandise sales with a switch. Ultimately, the bottom line sometimes speaks louder than doing the right thing. So perhaps that argument will win over Snyder even if the sensitivity concern doesn't.

Set in a kiva, "Mesa Verde" unfolds as two sisters converse and work back toward the roots of their lifelong conflicts and try to resolve difficult questions about their past.
While this sounds like a recipe for a draining afternoon, it makes for a terrific play, and emerges as a deeply affecting, riveting performance that should strike a chord with nearly anyone who sees it. Regardless if your family is more Norman Rockwell than Jerry Springer, virtually no one sees their parents or siblings as ideal. This is just one of the many topics that this 70-minute, three-person emotional tsunami of a play rolls through.
Plan B Theatre Company, which is celebrating its 20th Anniversary season, is to be commended for its patience and foresight as playwright in residence Matthew Ivan Bennett shepherded the production from a 10-minute SLAM entry in 2006 through its appearance in the 2007 Script-In-Hand Series to its present-day full-blown realization.
The emotion - peppered with insightful, revealing dialogue and merciful blasts of humor - evoked from the two sisters Tabitha and Tamara never lets up but is enjoyable nonetheless. Hats off to April Fossen who plays the practical, frustrated and ailing Tabitha and Christie Summerhays who plays the cranky environmentalist Tamara. A special kudo should also go to Teresa Sanderson who plays the "Goddess," which morphs into the Tamara and Tabitha's mother, as well as both of their beaus.
Bennett's play easily engages the viewers from the opening scene and never lets up. Not many tickets are left for the showings, which continue through March 6. Don't miss it.

Valley Forge FAQs
Why was the famous picture of George Washington unfinished?
Q.Why was the famous picture of George Washington that can be found hanging in old school rooms unfinished?
Terri Roberts from Hooker, Oklahoma
A.The painting that you are referring to is by Gilbert Stuart. It is the portrait that is the basis for the picture you can find on the dollar bill. The artist painted George Washington on many different occasions. This particular portrait had originally been commissioned by Martha Washington along with a companion portrait of herself to hang by its side. In the course of painting, George Washington passed away and the Martha portrait was never even begun. Stuart found he could make more money "knocking" out copies of his portraits and selling those.

|Professional music organizations around the world strongly advocate the inclusion of world musics at all levels of instruction. Scholars and practitioners in the field recognize the profound benefits of a multicultural music education, and policies and practices on behalf of such education have been adopted in numerous countries. One of the greatest challenges teachers face in implementing a multicultural curriculum is finding good quality materials.; To evaluate the quantity and quality of the material from the Argentine musical culture available to music educators, the author elected to investigate a range of resources published by the International Society for Music Education, the American National Association for Music Education, and four popular American elementary music series textbooks (Share the Music, 1995, 2000; The Music Connection, 1995; Making Music, 2008). The results of this preliminary survey indicated very few examples of Argentine music in these publications, many of which were marred by flaws.; Taking into consideration the need for quality resources that would make it possible for teachers to include Argentine music in their children s choral programs, the purpose of this study was to provide arrangements of nine songs representative of the Argentine musical culture for the children s choir. In preparation towards achieving that goal, the following research areas were investigated: 1. Characteristics of the children s choir sound; 2. Potential and limitations of the child voice; 3. Suitability for performance by the children s choir; 4. Criteria for the selection of choral compositions for the children s choir; 5. Recommendations by experts for arranging music for the children s choir; 6. Contemporary educational expectations and considerations for presenting and teaching world musics.; A review of the literature relevant to these questions was conducted, as well as an analysis of repertoire recommended by a number of experts in the field, for the beginning, intermediate, and advanced children's choirs. The results of the analysis and the recommendations from the reviewed literature guided the author in the arrangement of the songs, the preparation of accompanying cultural and musical information, and the production of an audio recording of the spoken pronunciation followed by a vocal demonstration of the songs.

(From left) Dr. Carline Jean-Baptiste, Michele Klau, Odette Argant, and Mel Schmid, members of Cambridge Health Alliance's Haitian Mental Health Team, accepted the Schwartz Center Compassionate Caregiver Award on November 16th at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Cambridge, MA...Cambridge Health Alliance's Haitian Mental Health Team, a multidisciplinary team of caregivers who treat Haitian and Haitian-American patients in more than a half dozen communities in eastern Massachusetts, is the winner of the prestigious Schwartz Center Compassionate Caregiver Award, given by the Boston-based Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare.
Now in its twelfth year, the award recognizes the caregiver or caregiving team in Massachusetts that best personifies the mission of the Schwartz Center to "advance compassionate health care in which caregivers, patients and their families relate to one another in a way that provides hope to the patient, support to caregivers, and sustenance to the healing process."
For the past 25 years, the Haitian Mental Health Team has provided comprehensive linguistically and culturally competent mental health services to the Haitian-Creole speaking populations of Cambridge, Somerville, and surrounding communities, including individual therapy to children and adults, family therapy, psychopharmacology, and crisis intervention.
"The Haitian Mental Health Team is an extraordinary group of caregivers who have earned a reputation for creating a safe, nurturing, and compassionate space where painful stories are listened to, suffering is relieved, and psyches are healed," said Schwartz Center Executive Director Julie Rosen. "Their patients have suffered from trauma many of us can barely contemplate: dire poverty, despotic governments, torture, and the terrible earthquake of last January. We are so pleased to honor them."
"The members of the Haitian Mental Health Team completely embody our institution's commitment to caring for the most vulnerable and underserved communities," said Dennis Keefe, Cambridge Health Alliance's Chief Executive Officer. "The compassion, support, and selflessness that the team demonstrated in the aftermath of the earthquake in mobilizing support and forums for all to share their emotions exemplify what they do everyday for their patients and colleagues."
The members of the Haitian Mental Health Team are:
* Team Leader Mel Schmid, M.Div., LICSW
* Administrative Assistant Odette Argant
* Psychiatrist Astride Desrosiers, MD, MPH
* Psychologist Carline Jean-Baptiste, PhD
* Psychotherapist/Psychopharmacologist Michele Klau, RNCS
The award was presented in front of over 2000 attendees at the Schwartz Center's annual dinner on November 16th at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Approximately 100 healthcare workers were nominated for this year's award.
The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, established in 1996, is an autonomous, not-for-profit organization, which supports compassionate health care and seeks to strengthen the relationship between patients and caregivers. The Center achieves its goals through education, training and support programs. A statewide review committee composed of physicians, nurses, social workers, community health workers, and patient advocates reviewed the nominations for the award.

10 December, International Human Rights Day: Belgium's contribution
On the occasion of the International Human Rights Day on 10 December, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders emphasises Belgium's efforts for the promotion and protection of human rights. Points for attention in Belgium continue to be children's and women's rights, the fight against indemnity, the death penalty, and all forms of intolerance and discrimination, including those based on sexual orientation. A recent example of the Belgian commitment is the conference on "Children's rights and business principles" that took place at the Egmont Palace on 3 December.
Minister Reynders is also very pleased that the Third Committee of the General Assembly accepted by consensus two weeks ago the Belgian-Slovenian resolution on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Minister Reynders is also very satisfied with the other positive developments in the Third Committee such as the increased support for the resolution on the moratorium on the use of the death penalty.
"On the one hand, I realise that too many people are still having to pay a heavy price for the expression of their rights and freedoms, which we take for granted in our society," says Minister Reynders, who points out that Belgium has played a key role as a member of the Human Rights Council for the past three years.
Just because the Belgian membership in the Human Rights Council ends on 31 December 2012, this does not mean that Belgium will look on from the sidelines from now on. Quite the contrary, because Belgium will also continue to play an active role in the Council as an observer and will also continue to advocate for the universalisation of human rights. As it so happens, Belgium is being considered for a new mandate in the Human Rights Council for the 2016-2018 period. In addition, Belgium will remain an active member of the NGO Committee and the Commission on the Status of Women, which will start digging into the issue of violence against women in March 2013.
Belgium will also continue to advocate for the promotion and protection of children's and women's rights, particularly in the context of conflict and post-conflict situations. For example, in February 2012, Minister Reynders took part in an open debate on sexual violence during conflicts in the Security Council meeting. He also expressed his support for the campaign by Doctor Mukwege, a pioneer of women's rights in the afflicted Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
In closing, Minister Reynders brought up the fact that the European Union adopted a Strategic Framework and Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy on 25 June 2012. Belgium will also put its efforts into implementing at least 97 actions in the action plan.
