Platone. Le teoria del sogno nel Teeteto. Edited by: Mazzara, Giuseppe; Napoli, Valerio; Brisson, Luc; Ferber, Rafael; Rossetti, Livio; Rowe, Christopher (2010). St. Augustin: Academia Verlag.
Image (JPEG) (Book Cover)
Theaetetus is certainly one of the most complex dialogues and one of the most difficult to read, and its terminal part perhaps constitutes its most enigmatic aspect, because we are not told who Plato is conversing with and why, regarding the "theory of the dream" expressed as follows: "science is a true opinion accompanied by logos" (201c9-d1); thethree definitions of logos given by Socrates all prove insufficient for defining science. The intent of the Conference whose Proceedings are published here was mainly to draw attention to two themes: one historical and the other more theoretical. From the historical point of view, on several occasions the name of Antisthenes has been mentioned, but not everyone was in agreement; from the theoretical point of view, one wonders what logos is able to define science and to what knowledge Socrates alludes, when at the end of the dialogue he invites Theodorus (and Theaetetus) to meet again the next morning to continue the search. But what search?

Christine Marie and Ensemble
Signaling Arcana / 4 TRAINSSep 11 2013 - Sep 15 2013
"4TRAINS' technical feat and sly humor make it an entertaining production, but the storytelling, sans dialogue, leaves the most lasting effect. Christine Marie evokes a nostalgia for the past, deftly using modern technology only to make the audience pine for the long-gone days of childhood." -Kristina Bravo
Director and inventor, Christine Marie pairs with composer Dan Cantrell to create an extremely unique immersive large- scale cinematic shadow theater spectacle. Set in the American wilderness as 19th century industrialization looms, this expressionist story explores the theme of the railroad as it relates to the destruction of the environment and the imagination. Three 20' screens capture the image of the train moving through lush landscapes as it crosses the continent. This innovative production includes select scenes with 3D stereoscopic effects creating the illusion of giant shadows "popping" out into the audience! A dynamic original live score featuring piano, cello and spacialized sound design will connect the antiquated railroad days with the mystical sounds of unchartered liminal space.
Through fourteen vignettes, the audience witnesses a young couple enjoying the last days of carefree frolic as structured time, toil and trade begin to intrude upon their solitude. As the surrounding landscape changes, their lives incur hardship as they come to terms with the loss of childhood and the destruction of natural resource. The production invites the audience to consider the current environmental crisis in a historical, universal and psychological context.

Passing through scenic Harlem Valley with its farms, wetlands, beaver ponds, woods, rolling pastures, and magnificent vistas is the Harlem Valley Rail Trail. This trail is through diverse rural landscape of the Columbia and Duchess Counties. Along the route a variety of bird species, animals and plant life may be observed in their natural habitat. One may see blue heron, beavers, coyotes, deer, foxes, hawks, owls, and turtles.
The trail follows old abandoned railroad right of way over 46 miles from Wassaic northward to Chatham NY. The 10' wide trail is paved asphalt built upon the old railroad bed through the Harlem Valley connecting New York City with Chatham. The trail is open all year for walking, running, bicycling, wheel chair users, and cross-country skiing.
Its route is though towns, villages, schools, public parks, and a county fairground. Communities include Amenia, Millerton and Copake Falls. Restaurants and shops may be visited in these communities along the way.
The trail has basic rules to make everyone's experience pleasant. Bikers and skaters should yield to walkers. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail. Dogs must be leashed and dropping removed by owner. Alcoholic beverages, camping, fires and hunting are prohibited. Everyone is requested to remove their litter. Please respect trail neighbors by remaining on the route preserving quiet near residences. Park only in designated parking areas.
Copake NY is a town of 3,615 named after a lake known to Natives Indians as Cook-pake, or Ack-kook-peek, meaning 'Snake Pond'. The town is north of Taconic State Park. Wassaic is a town in southeast New York State surrounded by the East and West Mountains along Tenmile River. Chatham is a town at the north end of Taconic State Parkway of 4,128 population. The town is at the intersection of route 66 and route 203.
New York and Harlem Railroad was one of the earliest railroads in the U.S. and perhaps the first street railway. It became the Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line, opening between 1832 and 1852 between Lower Manhattan to beyond Harlem.
The railroad discontinued its operation in 1976, with track removal from the rail bed in 1979. New York State purchased the right of way between Wassaic and Copake Falls in 1989 creating the first 22-mile section of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail. The trail opened in 1996 with additional sections of the trail completed over time until its current state in 2005.
Taconic State Park is composed of 14,400 contiguous acres of protected open space spanning three states. Within the area camping, hiking, bicycling, hunting, and winter cross-country skiing is permitted.
Copake NY is a 4:15 hour drive of 276 miles from Rochester NY. Drive I-90 east past Albany toward Massachusetts. Exit onto the Taconic Parkway before Chatham East driving south to route 23.
Here's one visitors comments on the trail.
"An easy ride for the whole family. The trail is flat, scenic, safe, and great for all types of riders/walkers."

This article from the Huffington Post is timely and important, particularly in the wake of the Aaron Swartz tragedy. It demonstrates a criminal justice system that has become completely void of justice. A system in which medical marijuana dispensaries and raw milk farms are raided by SWAT teams, but in which bankers that rob trillions with a pen face a slap on the wrist at worst and promotions to higher office at best. This kind of system, where federal prosecutors will target citizens just for publicity or because they know Washington D.C. doesn't like the person is more reminiscent or Nazi, Soviet or East German justice than traditional American justice. It is another symptom of a nation in rapid societal decline. From the Huffington Post:
Prosecutors have enormous power. Even investigations that don't result in any charges can ruin lives, ruin reputations, and drive their targets into bankruptcy. It has become an overtly political position — in general, but particularly at the federal level. If a prosecutor wants to ruin your life, he or she can. Even if you've done nothing wrong, there isn't a whole lot you can do about it.
But by most estimates, there are at least 4,000 separate criminal laws at the federal level, with another 10,000 to 300,000 regulations that can be enforced criminally. Just this year 400 new federal laws took effect, as did 29,000 new state laws. The civil libertarian and defense attorney Harvey Silverglate has argued that most Americans now unknowingly now commit about three felonies per day.
Worse, while we citizens can go to prison for unwittingly breaking laws of which we weren't aware, prosecutors and law enforcement officers who wrongly arrest, charge, and try citizens based on a misunderstanding of the law generally face no sanction or repercussions.
Prosecutors are protected by absolute immunity, which basically shields them from liability no matter how egregious their mistakes.
Once we have so many laws that it's likely we're all breaking at least one of them, the prosecutor's job is no longer about enforcing the laws, but about choosing which laws to enforce. It's then a short slide to the next step: Choosing what people need to be made into criminals, then simply picking the laws necessary to make that happen.
Take all of that with the massive total number of laws, and you get a system ripe for abuse. If a prosecutor has it out for you, he can probably find a law he can plausibly argue you've broken. Even if you're acquitted — in fact, even if the charge is dropped, or if you're investigated but never charged — you don't get compensated for the time, stress, and expense the whole affair cost you. In federal cases you're supposed to at least be reimbursed for you legal expenses, but that doesn't appear to happen much, either.
At the state level, prosecutors are reelected, move on to higher office, or win prestigious jobs at high-powered law firms for racking up large numbers of convictions — and for getting high-profile convictions.
USA Today recently found that federal prosecutors who commit misconduct en route to wrongful convictions are rarely if ever sanctioned. Other studies have come to similar conclusions about state prosecutors.
Too often, criticism of prosecutorial excesses isn't framed as this should never happen, but why isn't this happening to the people I don't like? Until that changes — until partisans are willing to condemn abuses even by their own, or committed against their political opponents or people they personally find unsavory — the problem is only going to get worse.
I'd suggest all of these factors (and probably a few I haven't thought of) have increasingly made us a nation ruled not by laws, but by politics (and by aspiring politicians). And once criminality is influenced primarily by politics, we're all just potential criminals.
Hopefully, Aaron's death can serve as a catalyst for positive change.

I think all motorcyclists are asked (by regular citizens), about the 'fear factor' of riding. Actually, to a seasoned biker, there is NO fear factor . . . it's therapy to their soul.
Motorcyclists that prefer riding quiet cruisers enjoy a peaceful open road to clear their heads, think through problems and settle anxieties. They can leave urban traffic, find little roads out in the boon-docks that few people travel and breathe clean air. If they're small, twisty roads . . . that's even better.
They enjoy leaning back in their saddles and letting their bikes rock them back and forth with each gentle turn in the road. Their subconscious picks up that peaceful feeling they got from their mothers when they were tiny. She did the same rocking; giving them needed comfort and an 'all is well' feeling. I must confess I've even fallen asleep while riding passenger on the back seat of this kind of ride.
Then there's another motorcycle breed that are called 'Bikers'. They enjoy wrapping their legs around loud, throbbing, powerful engines that can be called upon with a slight twist of the throttle. These 'twists' relax; boost testosterone levels and energy surges throughout their entire body. Yes . . . it's almost orgasmic.
Many bikers are ex-military that are dealing with PTSD and their riding experience is therapy. Loud pipes and thrust of the fierce engine (that obeys his bidding) costs less than a visit to the psychiatrist. Add the camaraderie of men with like experiences completes the therapy since they all have the 'No man left behind' mindset.
I've had the experience of riding from East coast to West coast and up into Canada, visiting majestic sites like Bamff, Canada. Seeing these sites from an open saddle is much different than seeing them from a closed in cage (auto). It's like the difference between seeing fish from a glass bottom boat and actually swimming among them.
So when I'm in the midst of a large gathering of motorcycles as their engines kick off; I literally feel the air molecules begin to dance . . . I can't help but lean my head back, throw my arms wide open and suck in huge gulps of those molecules. That's when my soul becomes part of the dance. Add the fact that Jesus and I are tight; one might hear me whoop "Yahoo Jesus!" But giving the fact of all the motorcycle revving, you probably wouldn't notice.
I guess that's another reason I enjoyed helping Country with his first book. His spun yarns of these experiences, weave word pictures that reveal the essence of an era gone by. Here's a snippet from Volume One of "Evolution of an Outlaw Biker".
In this particular story, we find Country hanging out with clubs in Nevada and California:
One big run we went on was in Kennedy Meadows, 57 Miles East of Sonora. There was at a big park nestled in the high mountains. Some of the men from California had killed some wild burros and had trash cans lined with a plastic bags full of burro steaks.
I found a big sheet of aluminum in the cold mountain stream. I scrubbed it with sand and put it on the hot coals of the camp fire. The steaks were put on it and marinated with wine we were drinking, while they cooked. They were delicious. If you put one next to a cow steak you would pick the burro steak every time.
We ate our steaks while our watermelons floated in the cold melted snow that pooled up close by. All in all – everything was mighty tasty.
There were 1500 Hells Angels on one side of a small volcanic mountain and 900 Hessians on the other. The park personnel were nervous but everything went off well.
Another run we went on was to Mount Shasta on the Oregon border. The Vegas chapter rode north across the desert and cut through Reno to Sacramento, CA. We waited on a levy outside of the city to hook up with the people coming up the center of the state, picking up chapters as they came. It was dusky dark when we began to hear the thunder of their Harley's.
I had heard about pioneers saying you could hear buffalo coming hours before you could see them . . . well, that's the way this was.
The bikes kept getting louder and louder. It sounded as if they would show any moment, but they just kept roaring louder. It was completely dark when the first headlight came into view . . . then the flood of lights came twisting around the mountains and kept on coming! What a powerful and invigorating sight for a biker to see!
We spent the night there and went on to Mount Shasta the next day. The campsite was way back in the forest and mountains, finally on gravel roads . . . a very beautiful place to be. Worth the trouble getting there and free of outsiders. We posted guards anyway. The leaders and many members were Vietnam veterans and knew their stuff.
To purchase Country's books, www.EvolutionOfAnOutlawBiker.com. Go to Amazon and Ebay or Amazon/Kindle for signed copies. Take a little time to read the comments of other readers. I like this comment the best:
Evolution of An Outlaw Bikers is a brilliant read for any Harley owner or biker. It's a hardcore story about life on the road as biker and member of various MC's (Motorcycle Clubs). However, this is not just about violence, booze, sex and drugs. It is a fascinating story about one man's life that that explains his thought process in making the decisions he made.
Country lived a latter day wild-west life . . . and his books are real page turners. He'll make you laugh one minute, then leave your mouth agape the next . . . and it's all the REAL deal.

Unit 6: THE TRINITY, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
Is it possible to say anything literal about God? Within a biblical (Semitic) perspective, one can make at least the following literal statements about God (without exhausting the magnificence of any Divine activity or attribute): God creates, loves, self-discloses, judges, forgives the penitent, empowers, redeems, and suitably protects and provides; as such, God is holy, glorious, awesome, majestic, personal, knowing, good, flawless, independent, incomparable, inexhaustible, gracious, just, merciful, purposeful, generous, invisible, everlasting, consistent, present, powerful, and sovereign. God is known by Gods acts. "... it is essential to realize that according to the Bible the knowledge of God is not reached by abstract speculation, as in Greek philosophy, but in the actual everyday business of living, of social relationships and of current historical events. God is not known by thinking out ideas about him, but by seeking and doing his will as made known to us by prophetic men and by our own consciousness of right and wrong." [from "God" in Richardson, A Theological Wordbook of the Bible (1960), p. 89]
Doctrines formulated within philosophical and theological perspectives heavily influenced by particular forms of Greek abstract thought deny that any literal statements about God are possible. Within this way of thinking, figurative uses of language, including metaphor (a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly: figurative language) and analogy (inference that if two or more things agree with one another in some respects they will probably agree in others), are believed to be the only suitable language about God. For example, the statement God is personal is regarded as a metaphor or analogy.
The Trinity
The doctrine of the Trinity, resulting from Greek philosophical influences in the early Church, is clearly figurative language that reveres God as Holy Trinity, even though the term Trinity does not appear in the Bible. The biblical uses of "Father," "Son," and "Holy Spirit" do not reflect a developed trinitarian doctrine. As far as we know, Trinity was first used by Theophilus of Antioch about 180 A.D. as an attempt to describe the fulness of God as revealed in Christ. The doctrine is also an imperfect attempt to develop a partial understanding of Gods inner life and being as a communion of persons.
More technically, and please be patient with this complex paragraph, the classical doctrine states that God exists as three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who are united in one substance. Persons is not used as in ordinary speech meaning three personalities, but as distinctions of mutual coinherence (i.e., co-involved in the essential, insepararable quality of the divine) in the Godhead. In the 4th century the doctrine was finally formulated in terms of the mysterious coequality of the persons of the Godhead. The Trinity may be understood on different levels: a uniquely Christian theological meaning of God; a conviction that attempts to gather up the Christian experience of the God of the Hebrew tradition; and, as speculation about the substance, essence, and inner dynamic being of ultimate reality.
One contemporary theologian has written:
The concept of Trinity is thus widely seen again as an essential and distinctive description of the fullness of God as revealed in Christ. That revelation involves a fundamental threefoldness, signified by the terms Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God confronts us in Jesus Christ; God is truly present as the Son or eternal Word. But God is also apprehended as the Father, who sends the Son and to whom the Son points. And God is known as the Holy Spirit, opening the hearts and minds of humans in faith. Yet it is the same God who is present throughout. The words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit refer to one and the same God, but the Christian cannot say who God is without pointing to the distinctive form and content of self-giving in Christ and the illumination of the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity is thus a summing up of the Gospel. [Claude Welch, Trinity in A New Handbook of Christian Theology (Abingdon, 1992), pp. 500 f.]
In more ordinary language we might reflect on the Trinity in this way: Our Triune God is the Father (loving creator of the universe), the Son (the Word who reveals New Covenant Life), and, the Holy Spirit (provider of strength, comfort, healing and inspiration). Furthermore, it is helpful to affirm the Trinity as a poetic symbol pointing to the God we worship, the God who cannot be completely explained in precise human categories.
Needless to say, the Christian experience of God in this threefold understanding has been interpreted in more than one way. Some views were judged unbalanced or inadequate and therefore ruled out by early Councils of the Church; other elaborated views of the Trinity compete for primacy to this very day.
It is also very important for us to keep foremost in our minds that interpretations of all human experiences are developed in the context of various historical periods, each with its own ways of thinking, its own emphases. We may expect the threefold Christian experience of God, labeled The Trinity, to undergo different explanations at diverse times and in varied cultures. None of the explanations is God or the actual experience! The reality of God remains firm as does the basic Christian experience of God. However, human formulations of that reality and of that common experience will continue to vary.
Whenever total theological clarity about the Trinity eludes us, as it always will, we might remember that we do not worship doctrines, anymore than we worship portraits of cherished persons. Our personal and corporate relationship with the God of Abraham and Jesus does not depend on a finalized blueprint of God's own self-existence. Nonetheless, we continue to attempt to avoid erroneous and misleading notions.
[See Reflections subsite and sermons for Trinity Sunday.]
The Holy Spirit
Having discussed God the Father in Unit 2 and God the Son in Unit 4, we must not forget The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.
Also called The Holy Ghost, a poetic term of a different historical period, the Holy Spirit is a Christian symbol of the Creators activity in the world. A central theme throughout the Bible is that God inspires, influences, empowers, and strengthens his people; God neither controls them like robots nor programs them like computers. This is a very important belief of the Christian Faith.
Nevertheless we meet Christians repeatedly who expect God to control of their lives, to control the wills of other individuals, and who pray that God will program themselves or others. The notion that God ever intervenes in such a way to control anyones will is utterly foreign to biblically based Christian views. God never makes anyone into a puppet, regardless of the persons intentions or actions! In fact, such controls are regarded as demonic in the Bible.
That the Holy Spirit is present in ones life is obviously a matter of trust. Something might happen in an individuals life such that the presence of the Holy Spirit is felt. But again, this is a matter of personal faith, personal witness, and never scientific or historical objectivity.
Some Christians claim to know with absolute certainty that they have special gifts from God through the Holy Spirit. Such people who parade their gifts in public frequently lack humility, love, and faith. However, others with great trust and love, celebrate and witness to their experiences of the Holy Spirit with personal humility and for the benefit of the Church.
The Holy Scriptures
Throughout this commentary we have frequently referred to the Bible. For Jews the Hebrew Scriptures (or what Christians call the Old Testament) constitute the whole Bible or in other words The Holy Scriptures. For Christians, The Holy Scriptures consist of the Old Testament and the New Testament, or in other words the Old (Ancient) Covenant and the New Covenant. Other books called the Apocrypha are included in the Bible by some Christians and not so by others.
The Prayer Book Catechism states: We understand the meaning of the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church in the true interpretation of the Scriptures. Many Christians would regard this as an overstatement, because holy and scholarly churchmen and women continue to differ on matters of interpretation. On many scriptural passages the Church as a whole does not have a singular understanding regarded by all informed faithful as absolutely true.
Amidst its many possible interpretations, however, the Bible provides the fundamental faith of who Christians are (each is a unique child of God) and what we are called to do (to love God, our neighbors, and ourselves). The sense of identity and vocation engrained in the Bible offers a meaning of life unique among the holy writings of the worlds religions and the philosophies originating in human speculation.
Most of the Hebrew Bible, which contains the evolving Covenant, was written in Hebrew; a small portion was written in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus. Its books were written over several hundred years. The Hebrew people selected particular documents as being authentic writings about their Covenant with God. They contain folklore, poems, stories, regulations, history, records, and other types of literature.
One of the major problems in interpreting the Bible is distinguishing among its various types of literature. For example, which passages are intended as history? How can we determine which writings are historical, which are legendary, and which are truth-bearing myths? Specialists in every generation study languages, documents, archaeology, and other resources, in order to make these distinctions and interpret these writings. (The sane general methods are used to understand ancient writings of every culture.)
Fundamentalists usually insist that every word in the Bible is to be taken literally with the exception of a certain amount of figurative language in biblical parables, poems, and music (e.g., the Psalms). These literalists are to be found among Jews (especially Orthodox Jews) and Christians. However, Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist and other Christian scholars are not (for the most part) literalists; they take a critical or analytical approach in order to discover the meanings of the various types of biblical literature. Yet, uninformed members of these traditions believe that biblical literalism is their only choice.
Non-specialists have resources on which they can rely whenever they want to know what is meant in a particular passage. The New Interpreters Bible, The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible, The Anchor Bible Dictionary are but three of the many fine reference works available. As new discoveries about language, history, and customs are discovered, revisions and new resources are published.
Why is the Bible called The Holy Bible? Holy means sacred, or specially related to God. Each community of faith (whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc.) decides for itself what its holy writings are. Each believes that their own scriptures are inspired, revealed, and/or enlightened. There is no objective method by which a religion can prove its own is the real thing. The designation of writings as holy results from the consensus of each religions leadership and people. What makes the Bible true and holy for Christians (the Hebrew Bible for Jews) is that it reflects and shapes their experiences; it speaks to their lives; it provides a comprehensive view within which Christians understand the meaning of the universe and their individual lives. For Christians, the Bible with its many literary forms is Gods Word (not Gods words) for humanity; it is a sacred collection of writings that reveal the Creators most important self-disclosures through Gods actions in human history - actions that communicate all that an individual needs to know in order to live in harmony with God, the universe, and others.

The Minnesota Wild scored three quick late in the first period to take a commanding, but the Edmonton Oilers scored before intermission and began chipping away.
With four minutes and 53 seconds remaining in the third period, Jordan Eberle skated around Ryan Suter a chipped a rebound off a dump-in over the glove of Darcy Kuemper to tie the game.
It was an all-around lazy play by the Wild. The forwards did not step up on Andrew Ference, who dumped the puck. Eberle, who joked after the game about possibly being offside, was given a clear path to the net by the defensemen. Darcy Kuemper couldn't handle the rebound and the game went to overtime.
Oilers coach Dallas Eakins gave his team a lot of credit, especially Ference for creating the scoring chances on both third period Oilers goals.
"(Ference) baited their goalie there," Eakins said about the game-tying goal. "The goalie thinks he is going to rim the puck and right at the last second he decides to put it on net. The goalie is a little off balance and suddenly there is a rebound."
The Wild (34-22-8) scored all three of their goals in a four minute and 16 second span in the first period. Zach Parise scored first off his own rebound on the power play. Jared Spurgeon continued the spree by sending a shot from the point off Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz's skate and into the net. Jason Pominville capped the scoring by one-timing a pass from Parise seconds after getting robbed by Viktor Fasth.
After that the Wild failed to put the Oilers away and paid the price by gaining only one point and losing ground in the standing to the Dallas Stars and Phoenix Coyotes - who both won on the night.
"We just didn't play with that same intensity as we needed to," Suter said. "Going into the third period you have to take it to them. I think we sat back and they were throwing pucks to the net.
No excuses, we sat back and they took it to us."
The Wild had opportunities to extend the lead in the second and third periods, including a two-man advantage nearing the midway point, and got a power play in the final 10 seconds of regulation that carried over into overtime.
"Oh, it could have been lights out," Eakins said about the 5-on-3 kill. "Then the one into overtime. Our killers did an amazing job. They executed really well. That's what it takes to win hockey games. Those big kills that keep the tap-in power play goals- 5-on-3, 4-on-3 - out of your net."
The Oilers (22-35-8) got the board with three minutes and five seconds when Jeff Petry fired a shot the front of the net and banked it into the net off Marco Scandella's skate. That got the Oilers going and kept them in the game.
"It would have been really easy to pack it in and call it a night and get on to the next game," Eakins said. "But, our guys refused to do it. They just kept scraping and clawing."
The Wild return to action Thursday against the New York Rangers at the Xcel Energy Center.

Converting cow manure into electricity pays off. See the October 13, 2011 Elsevier Health Sciences news release, "Does converting cow manure to electricity pay off?" The successful renewable energy project is detailed in the October 2011 issue of the Journal of Dairy Science. Studies have estimated that converting manure from the 95 million animal units in the United States would produce renewable energy equal to 8 billion gallons of gasoline, or 1% of the total energy consumption in the nation.
On the other hand, not related to the cow manure study, in other areas of the nation, people are afraid that liquid animal manure could be released into various water systems as other news reports discuss. See, "Cesspools of Shame - Natural Resources Defense Council." Because more and more farmers and communities are interested in generating renewable energy from farm waste, there is a growing need for information on the economic feasibility and sustainability of such programs.
Noteworthy, in a case study published in 2011 in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers at the University of Vermont and the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS) confirm that it is technically feasible to convert cow manure to electricity on farms. The economic returns depend highly on the base electricity price.
The premium paid for converted energy is the base electricity price. For example, financial supports from government and other agencies, and the ability to sell byproducts of the methane generation. On the other hand, The CVPS Cow Power program assists farms in planning and installing anaerobic digesters and generators to convert cow manure into electricity, and markets the resulting power to its customers.
Dairy farms apply for grants from CVPS, government agencies, and other organizations, and draw on their own funds and loans from local banks to install the necessary equipment. CVPS customers voluntarily participate in and agree to pay a premium of $0.04 per kWh for a proportion or all of their electricity use
"With more than 4,600 CVPS electricity customers voluntarily paying $470,000 in premiums per year, the Cow Power program represents a successful and locally sourced renewable energy project with many economic and environmental benefits," says lead author Dr. Qingbin Wang, a professor in the Department of Community Development and Applied Economics, University of Vermont, according to the news release. And check out, Renewable Energy From Cow Manure?
The study found that because of the huge initial investment of about $2 million for equipment per farm, grants and subsidies from government agencies have been necessary
Without them, few dairy farms are able to fund such a system. The price farmers received for their electricity and revenue from byproducts of the system were also critically important. Scenario analysis presented in the case study also suggests that relatively small changes in the premium price can have a significant impact on the cash flow of an average operation.
Also, waste heat from biogas combustion can be captured and used on the farm and byproducts from the digester, in the form of animal bedding and compost, contributed significantly to the cash flow of farms – up to 26% of the total revenues in 2008. Dr. Wang concludes, according to the press release, "For any community interested in a locally sourced renewable energy project like the CVPS Cow Power Program, the strong commitment and collaboration of utilities, dairy farmers, electric customers, and government agencies at the state and local level is essential."
The article is "Economic Feasibility of Converting Cow Manure to Electricity: A Case Study of the CVPS Cow Power Program in Vermont," by Q. Wang, E. Thompson, R. Parsons, G. Rogers, and D. Dunn. appearing in the Journal of Dairy Science, Vol. 94, Issue 10 (October 2011). It's published by Elsevier.

UC Davis specializes in teaching courses focused on green health through renewable energy
For example in the course, Building Efficiencies: Low Carbon and Renewable Energy, students examined the energy issue from the macro perspective of the built environment to the micro approach of how heat flows throughout a building. Using the "whole building" perspective, you will discover some of the natural and mechanical means of heating, cooling and ventilation for improved indoor air quality and cost savings.
In the course, Cogeneration and District Solutions, students learned about cogeneration system selection and sizing, preliminary feasibility study approaches, heat to power ratios, computer programs, economic and environmental issues, emerging technologies and regulations. UC Davis offers green health-oriented courses, workshops, and other learning experiences.
Green Health for the Human Body
What about building efficiencies for green health that focus on the human body? Can someone combine energy resource management of living spaces with energy resource management of the human body? That's what green health includes--managing the energy resource of your body.
Does green health include caloric restriction coupled with nutrient-dense foods? Will caloric restriction win or will nutrients from plants lead in the race to find anti-aging health benefits? Or is the race really between food and hormones or food, caloric restriction, and hormones, or food as medicine alone?
There seems to be an evolving controversy in science in the race to discover anti-aging drugs before researchers reveal anti-aging foods. Apparently, a gene's action may help explain why restricting diet lengthens life in animals, according to the August 18, 2010 news release, "Discovery may aid search for anti-aging drugs." You also may wish to check out the study, "Genes encoding longevity: from model organisms to humans."
Which will win here in Sacramento, anti-aging foods and food extracts or anti-aging drugs?
The race is heating up, with UC Davis in the Sacramento and Davis regional area focusing on studies of plants. For example, in the Sacramento area, UC Davis has been researching nutrition topics such as research with fruit and plant extracts for improving lifespan possibilities.
One example is the anti-aging properties of strawberries. A few years ago, UC Davis studied strawberries in relation to health at the UC Davis Nutrition Department. The University of California - Davis and Baylor College of Medicine also teamed up to study the effects of fresh vegetable juices on weight loss and lowering blood pressure.
Interestingly, there seems to be a 'race' of sorts between finding foods that play a role in anti-aging, helping to switch on genes that slow down aging, and at the same time in a variety of universities another 'race' to find an anti-aging drug based on experiments of restricting calories, but not nutrition in animals.
The potato study and health
Several years ago, UC Davis nutrition scientists also ran a 15-week study to test whether diets that contain potatoes would be useful in weight loss or maintaining current body weight and how these diets affect your blood sugar. The Potato Study took place a few years ago at the UC Davis Department of Nutrition.
According to the August 18, 2010 news release, "Discovery may aid search for anti-aging drugs," the news seems to focus on looking for a way to develop anti-aging drugs rather than foods based gene suppression. A team of University of Michigan scientists has found that suppressing a newly discovered gene lengthens the lifespan of roundworms.
Caloric restriction studies
The leap that science hoped to provide is to find out how this applies to humans, since there are some similar genes between roundworms and humans. The research focused on caloric restriction. Similarly, at UC Davis, the research also focused on not only caloric restriction, but the type of nutrition that's helpful in maintaining health.
Scientists who study aging have long known that significantly restricting food intake makes animals live longer. But the goal is to find less drastic ways to achieve the same effect in humans someday. The University of Michigan (U-M) results offer promising early evidence that scientists may succeed at finding targets for drugs that someday could allow people to live longer, healthier lives.
In a study in the August 2010 issue of Aging Cell, the study "drr-2 encodes an eIF4H that acts downstream of TOR in diet-restriction-induced longevity of C. elegans," looked at genes encoding longevity. The researchers found that dietary restriction (DR) results in a robust increase in lifespan while maintaining the physiology of much younger animals in a wide range of species.
Also see, "Genes encoding longevity: from model organisms to humans," U-M scientists found that a gene, drr-2, is an important component in a key cellular pathway, the TOR nutrient-sensing pathway, where many scientists are looking for potential drug targets. The U-M scientists then found that when they caused the drr-2 gene to be under- or over-expressed, they could lengthen or shorten lifespan in C. elegans, a worm widely used in research. Manipulating the drr-2 gene's action produced the same effects as reducing or increasing caloric intake.
"We showed that in C. elegans, drr-2 is one of the essential genes for the TOR pathway to modulate lifespan," says Ao-Lin Allen Hsu, Ph.D., according to the news release. Hsu is the study's senior author and a scientist at the U-M Geriatrics Center. He also is an assistant professor in internal medicine and molecular and integrative physiology at U-M. The study also found that drr-2 appears analogous to a human gene, eIF4H, that controls similar cell functions.
The idea is to find paths for developing future anti-aging drugs
Are anti-aging nutrients considered as green health solutions? What about anti-aging medicines? Isn't food better than drugs? How can farmers increase the nutrient value of green foods? To find possible avenues for future anti-aging drugs, many scientists around the world are focusing on signaling pathways in cells that sense nutrients.
The one Hsu examined, the target of rapamycin pathway or TOR pathway, is so named because its activity can be influenced by the drug rapamycin. Recent results from a large federal study being conducted at the University of Michigan (U-M) and elsewhere have shown that in mice, rapamycin is effective at mimicking the anti-aging effects of dietary restriction.
Why aren't more scientists looking for anti-aging foods rather than drugs?
Is it because you have to follow the money, and there's less money in anti-aging foods? Who would be interested in anti-aging foods other than consumers, farmers, and natural or organic grocery and produce food stores?
Research in the last 25 years has shown that animals, including mammals, live longer and have lower levels of certain measures of age-related decline when scientists have restricted their food intake. No one has been able to show yet that the same effect happens in humans, though some studies are under way. There are groups in Sacramento where people follow restricted calorie diets, raw food diets, vegetarian diets, and vegan diets, low-carb diets, and various types of diets. You'll find many of these groups online.
The Calorie Restriction Society
Nationally, you can look for information and see whether there's a local chapter of the Calorie Restriction Society in your local area. See the website, Help the Calorie Restriction Society Raise Research Funding.
Active members of the Calorie Restriction Society have had a positive influence on the degree and direction of calorie restriction (CR) research in humans for a number of years now, helping scientists who have demonstrated that fewer calories mean less age-related disease and quite probably more healthy life, according to the Calorie Restriction Society.
As is true of many of the best patient advocate and pro-research advocacy groups, the Calorie Restriction Society has close ties with the scientific community; members have stepped up to the plate to help human studies happen more rapidly. You can find links to a number of more recent results at the websites, The Longevity Meme, and also including these sites: Calorie Restriction and the Heart and The Evidence For Calorie Restriction.
Raising funds for more calorie restriction research
The Society raised funding for further CR research. This initiative plans to build upon existing relationships with talented, well known scientists to correlate gene expression and cell signaling indicators in human calorie restriction practitioners to clinical markers of health and aging.
In essence, this work will continue to raise the bar in proving beyond a doubt that CR in humans is very beneficial to healthy longevity. You can find more information about the researchers in a PDF format release at the society website.
If you're interested in the new calorie restriction study mentioned on the Calorie Restriction Society's website, a key aspect of the new study will be to build on the calorie restriction study reported by Dr. Fontana in 2004. The goal with research is to find out whether long-term calorie restriction with adequate nutrition results in the same metabolic, hormonal, and gene expression changes in humans that scientists have seen with caloric restriction in rodents.
According to the August 18, 2010 press release on the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor research, "Genes encoding longevity: from model organisms to humans," when calories or certain nutrients are restricted, scientists detect less oxidative damage in animal cells and a slower decline in DNA repair, a decline that normally occurs with age. It's thought that limiting oxidative damage and slowing the decline in DNA repair could help postpone or avoid many age-related diseases.
But scientists know relatively little about why reducing food intake causes these effects. In the last 10 years, they have made progress in identifying genes and associated proteins that are suppressed when diet is restricted. By learning more about the cell processes involved, they may be able to discover targets for future drugs that could delay aging without the need to restrict food intake.
Drugs tailored to block specific genes or proteins involved in nutrient-sensing pathways would have much more appeal than reducing what one eats. To achieve anti-aging benefits, it's thought that people would have to restrict food intake by 30 to 40 percent, a grim prospect. In addition, drugs might be designed to avoid other disadvantages of this level of dietary restriction, which include reduced fertility.
Why study caloric restriction in the roundworm? Its genes are found in other animals
C. elegans is a tiny roundworm, a nematode whose two-week lifespan is a great advantage for scientists studying aging. The 1-millimeter-long transparent worms have other advantages, too. C. elegans exhibits many age-associated changes observed in higher organisms.
"Many genes identified in C. elegans to control the speed of aging turned out to be evolutionarily conserved, meaning that you can find them in other animals, too. And many are very similar to those found in humans," Hsu says in the August 18, 2010 press release about the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor research, "Genes encoding longevity: from model organisms to humans,"
Research details
Hsu and his team created different mutant strains of roundworms, some with drr-2 genes silenced and others in which the gene was over-expressed. They wanted to learn whether inactivating drr-2 is essential for TOR to influence longevity, and found that it was. Other newly discovered genes may affect TOR signaling as well. But Hsu's team has found a promising lead for anti-aging drugs of the future: They were able to show that silencing drr-2's action alone was sufficient to make worms live longer than wild-type C. elegans used as controls.
"It is known that reduction of TOR signaling in response to a change in the environment or genetic manipulation triggers a cascade of cellular signals that alter cell growth, metabolism, and protein synthesis, and decrease the pace of aging," says Hsu, according to the news release. "Our recent studies have shown that drr-2 might play a pivotal role in the TOR signaling network to control protein synthesis as well as longevity."
The news release also mentioned additional University of Michigan (U-M) authors: Tsui-Ting Ching, Alisha B. Paal, Avni Mehta, and Linda Zhong, all of the Division of Geriatric Medicine, U-M Department of Internal Medicine Funding: Ellison Medical Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

The second season of the American version of "House of Cards" continues to be a hit, much like its first season which began February 1, 2013. For those lucky enough to afford Netflix, they were able to view the second season on Valentine's Day; where fans on the east coast curled up warm inside to watch, while the snow finally settled from the night before. As cold as the weather outside, the main character of the show, Congressman Francis Underwood, continued his chilling effect for retribution. Underwood is played by two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey.
The vindictive plot for audiences to follow is this –
Betrayed by the White House, Congressman Francis Underwood embarks on a ruthless rise to power by manipulating a young reporter and a miscreant colleague. His wife Claire is a willing accomplice until their uncommon marriage shows strain.
The adaptation of the series is based on the British original version of the same name made in 1990. The series is a trilogy; the second currently playing on Washington, D.C.'s WETA UK (PBS) called House of Cards: To Play the King. The last title of the trilogy is called The Final Cut. The trilogy is based on three novels by British conservative politician and author Michael Dobbs. House of Cards was written in 1989, To Play the King in 1992, and The Final Cut in 1994.
The first in the series was played on PBS station WETA only. Scottish actor Ian Richardson played the role that Spacey now plays. Richardson's character is Francis Urquhart, a fictional Chief Whip of the Conservative Party.
Richardson as Urquhart plays his character to the hilt. As Chief Whip and confidante to the Prime Minister (PM), he decides to destroy him due to the PM's picks for his new administration. Urquhart's suggestions were not approved due to the fact that the PM (who is new, played by actor David Lyon) already has his agenda in place. However he trusts his Chief Whip immensely, totally unaware that Urquhart is plotting against him for power.
The first episode exhibits the ruthlessness, cleverness, manipulation and backstabbing Urquhart possesses under a cool and calm demeanor. As the series carries on, he talks to his audience about what his approach will be and gives his synopsis of people he's dealing with. He knows his environment thoroughly and endorses it through blackmail, sex and murder.
Urquhart becomes sexually involved with a young, wide-eyed attractive reporter (though he's married and old enough to be her father). She first approaches him for a story, he finds her talented and appealing. As the sexual tension grows between them, she wants to call him "Daddy" (he agrees). Urquhart often used the phrase "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment" when questioned about something he cared not to answer.
Urquhart at the end of Series One got what he wanted in House of Cards – he leaked information out secretly that was leading to the dismissal of the PM, the person he blackmailed he murdered by putting a poisonous substance in his cocaine, he cleverly put his hat in the ring for Prime Minister with House of Commons approval, and the reporter he was sexing he murdered by throwing her off a high-level balcony. The balcony murder was the conclusion. How tragic! The reporter, Mattie Storin (played by actress Susannah Harker), had fallen in love with him. But Urquhart murdered Storin because she found out the evil deeds he had done; she questioned him, he didn't trust her anymore, so out she went.
Dailymail.co.uk commented on Ian Richardson's role as Francis Urquhart –
"House of Cards was just so much his own," Diamond said, reflecting on Richardson's role as the epitome of elegant evil in the BBC parliamentary trilogy.
His oleaginous aside as a Machiavellian politician - "You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment" - has entered the language as a perfect catchphrase for devious evasiveness.
An exceptional political thriller, one that you were waiting to see what would happen next.
Ian Richardson (7 April 1934 – 9 February 2007) won a BAFTA award in 1991 for the role. The trilogy is under the "100 Greatest British Television Programs."
The American House of Cards has received numerous awards including three Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe for actress Robin Wright. She received it this year for the category of Best Actress – Television Series Drama. Wright plays Claire Underwood, the scheming wife of Congressman Frank Underwood.
House of Cards has been renewed for a third season and is filmed in Baltimore, Md.

Three-time MVC Scholar-Athlete Brian Dixon
Nov. 5, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
ST. LOUIS. -- Saluki cross country earned seven Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete honors after sweeping both the men's and women's MVC Championships last weekend, the conference announced Tuesday.
In order to be named an MVC Scholar-Athlete, student-athletes must hold a cumulative GPA of 3.2, they must be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing, and they must finish among the top-20 runners at the conference meet.
Seven honorees are the most for cross country in school history. These accolades come off an historic performance at the MVC Championships last Saturday at Drake University, where SIU became the first school since Illinois State in 1989 to sweep both the men's and women's titles. The Saluki men won their second championship in as many years, and the Saluki women earned their first MVC crown since 1992. Head coach Matt Sparks became only the second head coach in the history of the conference to win both the men's and women's titles in the same season (John Kornelson, Wichita State, 1987).
Senior Brian Dixon (accounting, 3.93) was the lone honoree for the Saluki men. Dixon earned the honor for the third consecutive season after he narrowly missed out on his third consecutive All-MVC distinction with an 11th-place finish.
The Saluki women racked up the remaining six Saluki honors, including two of the four perfect 4.0 GPAs recognized by the conference. All six top-20 Saluki finishers were honored: Kristen Levi (biological science, 3.93), Sadie Darnell (elementary education, 4.0), Kelley Gallagher (exercise science, 3.22), Krista Menghini (exercise science, 3.37), Tori Parry (physical education, 3.39) and Lacey Gibson (physiology, 4.0) were each honored. Darnell, the 2013 outdoor track and field MVC Elite 18 recipient, was the lone repeat honoree for the Saluki women.
Southern will look to make their presence known on the national stage next Fri., Nov. 15, at the NCAA Regional hosted by Iowa State in Ames, Iowa.
Men's MVC Scholar-Athletes:
11. Brian Dixon - Accounting, 3.93
Women's MVC Scholar-Athletes:
3. Kristen Levi - Biological Science, 3.93
4. Sadie Darnell - Elementary Education, 4.0
5. Kelley Gallagher - Exercise Science - 3.22
12. Krista Menghini - Exercise Science, 3.37
19. Tori Parry - Physical Education, 3.39
20. Lacey Gibson - Physiology, 4.0

There's something fresh and mysterious about the new 40 Degrees North cocktail at Eat Street Social.

Mike Doyle: Legend remembered in pictures
- 22 November 2013 11:09
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
We announced on Thursday that Mike Doyle's 1969 FA Cup winner's medal has been inducted into the Stadium and Club tour.
It will form part of a month-long display in recognition of a true City legend who once claimed there were only two teams in Manchester – Manchester City and Manchester City reserves!
In tribute to the great man, we look back at ten photos of Mike in action for the Blues and reflect on an incredible career.

Though it may seem obvious the importance of drinking the correct amount of water in order for our bodies to function, cannot be understated. Still there is a bit of confusion of how much to drink and what liquids count in achieving the much desired eight glasses per day.
A simple way to know if you are properly hydrated is to take a look at your pee. Is it dark or is it the color of lemon juice? If your pee is light colored chances are you are drinking enough. If you have recently traversed the beverage isle you will not just find H20 but endless supplies of enhanced liquids.
Though nothing is a true substitute for good old water, here are a few alternatives that not just help to keep you hydrated but also promise to up your energy as well as provide a vitamin kick, all the while keeping sugar in check.
Honest Lemonades
Sometimes you just want a tall glass of refreshing lemonade but most are just filled with lots of sugar and very little juice. These are a little sweet and will remind you of what it was to have your first lemonade stand. Just add ice.
It may seem strange drinking watermelon juice in order to stay hydrated but this powerful drink not only boosts your electrolytes because it contains double the potassium of a single banana plus it is a great source for Vitamin C and Vitamin A.
Sparkling ICE
Great for helping you to kick the soda habit because it's carbonated with zero calories. It also contains B-Vitamins, Vitamin D and antioxidants.
This Negative Calorie Drink™ is said to help boost metabolism, reduces body fat, increases endurance and provides lasting energy.
Drink Marquis
Zero calories but no shortage of Vitamin B, Vitamin C, or Niacin if rumors are right this power drink should give you an energy kick that keeps you going.
As the name suggests these are meant to kick up your energy as well as improve focus and your body's ability to recover. Non-Carbonated and low calories the flavors are pretty tasty.

Marian McPartland: Threnody
Threnody (A Lament)
Marian McPartland (piano)
Marian McPartland Plays The Music Of Mary Lou Williams (Concord Jazz CCD-4605)
Marian McPartland (piano),
Bill Douglass (bass), Omar Clay (drums).
Composed by Marian McPartland.
Recorded: San Francisco. January 17-18 1994
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
True, she blazes bebop and swings steadier than Big Ben, but when Marian McPartland enfolds her hands around a ballad she molds it into an intricately carved and exquisite sonic sculpture, especially when it's her own piece. This crystalline composition is Marian's portrait of Mary Lou Williams, and her profound goodbye to her jazz comrade. She distinctly refers to Mary Lou in the modernistic melody and the voluptuous chords. The graceful power of Marian's playing is translucent in this waltz of mourning. Bill and Omar intuitively create a spacious environment for three of her most intimate and potent musical moments.

Being In Somebody Else's Dream
In what way do the stories in your new book form a whole?
This book crystallized when I found the illustration for the cover. Previously, the stories were scattered all over the place, some on the internet, some in books. I had not been able to clarify in my mind how I was going to turn them into a book. When I saw that picture, I said to myself, "This is it!"
How did the picture inspire you?
The picture on the cover conforms to the known rules of perspective. On the other hand the figure in the scene is stepping outside the frame, which is of course is an impossibility. The idea of a figure in a painting going outside the frame is very modern. At the same time there is something about it that reminds you it's a picture
What does that picture correspond to in you?
Shuttling back and forth between realizing and not realizing that one's characters are fictional is a notion that lies at the core of my writing. That's what I have concentrated on. And this book actually brings together the texts that best focus on that idea.
The things that happen to the three people for whom the book is named are described in sentences that are almost exactly the same, word for word. Why is that?
I tried to describe the basic human condition in that story. The reason I used the exact same words stems from the fact that I am pointing to the common human condition that is shared by different people.
There is also a "graphic story" in the book. Why did you want to do such a "joint" project? What sort of experience was it?
I love going from one art form to another. Sercan Şengün made the drawings for my book. I saw how my story was reflected in Sercan's eyes.
What was it like to take a Kafka story as your point of departure?
Kafka wrote about a specific dream that he had. And in my writing based on that I try to include myself in somebody else's dream, and to think about myself in the process.

13th Annual Diversity Summit offers a range of perspectives
By Allison Sylvest
For the past 12 years, the annual Diversity Summit, hosted by the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs (CACMA), has presented opportunities for the campus community to enhance their scope of diversity awareness by attending talks, panels, workshops and performances. The 13th annual Diversity Summit, themed "Learning from our past to build a better future," continues that tradition. This year's summit takes place in the UMC Feb. 18 through 20 and includes voices spanning several identities and experiences.
"This is the first year that the Diversity Summit has included all of the chancellor's advisory committees in speaker selection," said Mark Augustin, director of Employee Development and CACMA co-chair.
Judy Poynter, assistant to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and CACMA co-chair, also noted, "This is our first partnership with the Chancellor's Lecture Series in hosting keynote speaker Gerda Klein."
This additional participation reinforces the position that diversity includes ethnicity, gender, age, sexual identity, disability, creed and all other ways in which we identify and express both individuality and belonging. This year's summit highlights perspectives of those singled out and/or persecuted for their religion and ethnicity, sexual identity, and disabilities.
Monday, Feb. 18
From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Ballroom, CU alum Joseph C. Silva, University of California-Davis retired professor and psychologist, will give a talk, "Misunderstanding Psychological Disabilities" which explores how incidents such as the Virginia Tech shooting and the stabbing that occurred on the CU campus impact those with mental disabilities.
Interactive Theatre Project (ITP) actors and Co-Directors Rebecca Brown and Trenton Norman will host a reception from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Ballroom before the ITP presentation, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Each year ITP creates an interactive play based on the theme of the summit, and presents to the audience a unique opportunity to visualize and discuss issues that affect the campus community.
Tuesday, Feb. 19
Opening remarks will be given by Sallye McKee, vice chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement (ODECE), and Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson will introduce Chancellor's Lecture Series speaker Gerda Klein, who will give the summit keynote address. Klein is a Holocaust survivor whose presentation is based on "One Survivor Remembers," a 1995 Emmy- and Academy Award-winning documentary about her life.
From 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in UMC Room 235, Colorado State Senator Jennifer Veiga will address "The Challenges of Diversity in Politics." Veiga was outed during her campaign, and she will share how that experience impacted her personal and professional lives.
Wednesday, Feb. 20
All members of the campus community are strongly encouraged to attend the Diversity Summit. Supervisors are encouraged to allow staff to use administrative leave or release time to attend one or more of the sessions, and faculty are encouraged to bring their classes. All events are free and open to the public. Additional information about speakers and sessions can be found on the Diversity Summit website.
The 2008 Campus Diversity Summit is organized and funded by CACMA and ODECE, with additional support from the Leeds School of Business, Disability Services, the GLBT Resource Center, Interactive Theater Project, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and the Women's Resource Center.

The IAAF Convention will be held this Thursday through Sunday at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. At this convention, county fair officials can get ideas and book events for their 2011 fair.
A big part of this convention is the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant. Miss Fayette County Fair Queen Amy Pippin will compete for this title, along with 65 other contestants from throughout the state.
A municipal electoral board in St. Elmo will rule Friday on whether two candidates for alderman seats will be allowed to stay on the April ballot.
Larry Tish, St. Elmo's mayor and the chairman of the electoral board, made that announcement at the conclusion of a hearing on Wednesday evening that lasted about an hour.
At issue are objections filed to nominating petitions filed by incumbent Aldermen Lloyd Carson and Jayson Porter.
Jake Stewart and his brothers, Garret and Bailey, took advantage of the snow dumped on the area in Monday's winter storm by sledding down the hill east of Jefferson Primary School in Vandalia on Tuesday morning.
Two meetings are being held in Fayette County this week to educate local landowners, community leaders and business representatives about the proposed FutureGen 2.0 project.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the clean coal repowering program and carbon dioxide (CO2) storage network will bring 900 jobs to downstate Illinois and another 1,000 to suppliers across the state.
The first community assessment/informational meeting in Fayette County will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Phillips Building in St. Elmo.
In the process of going through this year's budget line item by line item, city officials have discovered what they believe might have been a significant error in budget preparation.
If it's determined that there is, in fact, an error, the city may be able to cut its budget deficit by close to 50 percent.
A third attempt to determine whether two candidates for alderman in St. Elmo can remain on the ballot was scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon.
The first hearing of a St. Elmo municipal electoral board, held last Tuesday evening, was brief, as the two candidates – Lloyd Carson and Jayson Porter – were given more time to challenge the objections filed on their nominating petitions.
The regular meeting of the Fayette County Board, scheduled for 7 o'clock tonight, has been postponed due to the weather.
The meeting has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. next Tuesday.
The continuation of the municipal electoral board in St. Elmo has now been rescheduled for 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
St. Elmo officials announced shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Monday that the electoral board hearing has been changed from 7 p.m. on Monday. The hearing will be held at the Phillips Building. The change was made due to an attorney's scheduling conflict.
Thursday, January 6

Benefit for Clifford Ray is Sunday
A benefit for Clifford Ray will be held from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. this Sunday at the Vandalia Moose Lodge.
A longtime employee of the city of Vandalia and a member of the Vandalia Volunteer Fire Department for 23 years, Ray has been diagnosed with multiple brain tumors and has been traveling to the Barnes-Siteman Center in St. Louis five days a week for treatments. He was airlifted to Barnes Hospital on Sunday because of a blood clot, and underwent surgery on Tuesday for the clot.
