Summary of highlights of Highlands
and regional master plan as well as recently released documents and maps and
documents from Highlands meeting yesterday.
A session was held with all Morris County communities with 3 hours of
time where presentation and questions were asked. Memo distributed by Mr. Omland highlights the remarks of
Background given: In 2004 Gov. McGreevy established Highlands.
It became effective March 30, 2004 and was re-adopted December 06. The act directed NJDEP to prepare rules, which
were effective May 05. The Act also
created Highlands Commission. The Rules
require the Council to prepare a regional master plan for entire highlands
region (Preservation and Planning) and this draft was released and has already
had two time extensions. There are 88
municipalities in 6 counties with over 800,000 acres involved. The principal purpose: protect drinking water for over 4 million
people (half of the state).
There are two distinct areas in
Highlands. Map reviewed: The dark purple is preservation, and the
light purpose is preservation area. Montville
is split with about 70% planning and 30% preservation. Most of the Township is in the planning
area. There is no guidance on these
lands until the regional master plan released.
Preservation took place in 2004.
These are mandatory and governed by DEP. This board has no jurisdiction on it and this area is subject to
Objective tonight is discussion of
planning area and affects 2/3 of township and impacts to the township's master
plans and objectives. Politically act
was created to protect and preserve ½ state water preserve. Mr. Omland elaborated.
Area consists of a protection
zone, conservation and planned community zone.
There is no conservation zone within our borders. Conservation is farmland. The Highlands staff indicated that the light
green planning area has the same rules as the 'protection' zones have. These standards and objectives are
transferred to light green areas in Montville that have restrictive development
constraints. The lighter is purple
area: commercial/housing/retail. It is in these areas that Highlands say they
want to impose additional development constraints.
The Highlands in pressing forth
master plan has a scheduled closed public comment on March 2nd, and
has extended it to April 2nd.
This is because the public has been commenting on lack of mapping and
reports in order to grasp reports of new master plan.
How the act may impact our
community discussed: upon adoption of
this regional master plan which will happen in around 60-90 days, they will review
comments and/or may extend adoption.
After adoption, the Highlands protection area becomes rule of the lay of
the land. There have been statements in
documentation that opting in on behalf of municipalities will be
voluntary. It means we will embrace and
take their rules as our own, and will build them into our master plan and
ordinances. Opting in is
optional, and Highlands would want each town to opt in. There are two benefits: the State will support a municipality in a
land use case supporting enhanced validity and/or presumption of validity on
land use case defense if lost. The
other benefit would be funding that would be available to implement this
conformance process and that approx. 12M will be divided to respond to the
Highlands. These are two benefits of
opting in. If you feel strongly that we
have same objectives, we would opt in.
If we choose not to opt in because of mapping lines because we don't
believe in, you may 'opt out' and not participate in these rules and regs. The fear that Morris County has is that the
underlying stick or penalty is that Montville Township will not be consistent
with State plans (i.e. State Redevelopment/COAH/Highlands/Wastewater Management
Plan) and if not consistent, Montville may not be eligible for sewer/water
permits, so there is unknown factor that may have an impact on projects in
Montville should we not opt in. This is
the 'fear' that concerns us: What will
DEP/DOT do on projects that are outside Highlands but influenced by Highland's
Difficulty to our community is the
purple areas on the maps. These areas
should be able to be redeveloped. These
areas contain our existing corridors (Changebridge/Rt. 202/Rt. 46) and are
zoned for commercial/retail and for more intense uses. We are in a phase where there are some new
developments going on and we are also looking at upgrading zoning, anticipating
these properties to newer standards.
The fear is that this act will affect our ability to do this and/or
shape them in such a way that a good ratable may be impaired by the regulations
that are yet to come in within the purple area. Some purple properties may be better located in the green
area. The data that is available is
still not good nor is it easily accessible.
Omland Engineering prepared the displayed map that was developed using
County and Highland's mapping but this data is not enough to see what impacts
our community.
We must equate ourselves with the
Master Plan. Data layering doesn't
allow for good evaluations. There is
not enough cohesiveness to evaluate the mapping. We have to decide to opt in or opt out and watch
accordingly. Highland's commission gave
some thoughts. Some of the conclusions
are based on discussions with Highlands.
While they have funding for towns that opt in, and we will abide by
their rules, monies are available. What
they said was that all towns have to put out funds to make these evaluations,
and how do we know we want in: they
suggest we request 'discrepancy' funds without strings attached. Suggest:
in order to fully evaluate you need more mapping on a professional level
but we shouldn't endure funding on this.
Ask for these funds without strings attached. Regional Master Plan and mapping are not fully available.
We should also ask for an extension
of April 2nd since it will not allow us to have the time to evaluate
the Highlands mapping. We should
definitely suggest that Rt. 46, 202, Changebridge are ratables, make sure they
are in the purpose and make sure they are not excluded. We need to get these mapping changes into
Highlands indicated they wanted
input on where they may have made mistakes on mapping. A prime example given that day was Towaco
Center. The Highland Map currently
takes a lot of this area away. It was
felt the sooner we get in the data with mapping information, the better. We should get in before adoption of
Question raised: how do we feel about opting in, and how does
it affect home rule? NJ guard's home
rule and we want to decide our home boundaries, and we asked how they viewed
opting in vs home rule. At the
Highlands, representatives indicated they wouldn't change zoning, but they
would decide intensity – sewer and water would be their discretion. That will cut it down dramatically as to
what is available. They will strip us
of water and sewer allocation. They
will also strip us of our ability, if we opt in, of individually granting
relief from Highlands rules by way of waiver/variances, we won't have the
chance to grant it without going up to the Highlands.
Existing homes and impact to these
residences discussed. Mr. Omland
explained single-family homes built with CO issued prior to 2004 are exempt
from Highlands. No restrictions on any
zones in the Highlands with these structures.
Existing dwelling unit can have an addition. One lot is all that you are entitled to. No subdivisions would be considered.
Marie Kull: in the areas, if someone wants to develop a
portion of one for 88 and request more, this type of subdivision would be
turned down? If we don't opt in, are we
penalized? Mr. Omland elaborated again
that they might deny sewer and water permits and/or other type of DEP permits.
He continued: We have projects where we are inconsistent
with state programs. There are no
stated facts. One agency may approve
and another may not. The dark green
area is regulated now since 2004 and is banned from 2004. Haven't heard of many towns opting in.
When asked at the close of time,
how many towns are going to opt in, Highlands felt 75% will opt in. Ladis Karkowsky: what if they only get 25%?
Stan Omland, PE: There is no better grade than to see what voluntary
contribution is. Would be belief, but
realize the intent is for the rest of the state. We didn't talk about fiscal impact; didn't talk about tax
ratables; housing in NJ, this is one of those regulated documents that have a
ten-year impact. Have always said there
would be a water tax. Gov. Corizine
said no taxes being considered. This
would actually be called a user fee (water tax). They will need to pay this as a fee that will go to Highlands to
buy land for those that lost it and to fund township and to pay township's that
lost revenue. What percentage goes to
municipalities? Stan Omland, PE: large document but unknown number at this
Marie Kull: can township do a class action suit? Michael Carroll, Esq.: a town can file a suit. One county did file suit, and Morris is
thinking of joining this suit, see little percentage in a township getting
involved in a suit. Politics behind
this: only one legislator voted for this bill.
It was imposed by without and Mayor of West Orange was chief sponsor. The figures were fudged. Newark has a large watershed in area. City of Newark received monies for Highlands. Political powers to be: people running Highlands do not live in
Morris County and are outsiders. Most
of pressure for the Highland's came from outside. If you want to take land, buy it. Governor indicates 'no new monies' for open space/historical preservation,
and we will run out entirely this year.
At least 1/3 will go to urban areas if monies are extended. There are no monies in this program. Politics were heavily involved and a master
fraud was involved in this plan.
Art Daughtry: we have 30 days to make this important
decision; this is not a good thing. We
are better to be in the game up front, and get information to the Highlands on
boundary changes we need. People don't
understand that the Rt. 46 end of town is vulnerable. If anything you should take back this message: it is not just up in the northern section of
town affected.
Deborah Nielson: consultants recommended putting a motion to
Highlands for extension of comment period and put on the record that we object
to this short comment period. Second
comment: we should have mapping and
additional info sent to Highland's council prior to adoption of regional master
plan. We can't get this done within
current period, but if we spell these concerns out and contact legislators
perhaps we can turn up the heat for the Highlands to delay adopting policies.
Deborah Nielson: it was indicated by Highlands that there are
some funds available. We need proposals
from professionals to do this work immediately so we need to see what funding we
will need to do this work. We should
also make immediate request for the grant Highlands indicated was
available. Concerns noted that darker
purple area in preservation area is inconsistent with our municipal ordinances,
our ordinances nor do we have proposal to update our ordinances to be
consistent with preservation area, if in fact, this is law, then we need to
make this consistent. May be funding
available in Highlands to do this, then we should apply. Stan Omland, PE: know of no town that will consistent with Highlands. May not suggest that we expend large amounts
of monies for land studies at this time since right now there is no obligation
to do this. Suggest we make request for
discrepancy funds which Highlands representative clearly said to make the
request. Difficulty is the lack of
available mapping data in a form we can use since the data cannot be
overlaid. Struggling as to what this
may cost. Stan Omland, PE: discussed mapping areas. What may be appropriate is preparing a
document that has overlay of existing topo, input wetlands and floodplains, and
making sure what should be in is shown and delineated. We would also want to engage individual
property owners in this. Mr. Omland
notes that if township asks for mapping change, this is a monumental task.
Gary Lewis: he
indicated he took away with several points from yesterday's Highland's
presentation: heard what Stan Omland,
PE said, but also heard them say that although maps are based on outdated data,
that any changes to this map will need to be supported by science. That it won't be done politically. This is too large a township venture. Although he was originally enthusiastic
about opting out, he was left with clear impression that state policy decisions
regardless of municipal status will be made on same data that is in this
regional master plan regardless of whether we are in or out and a lot of this
will come down to water usage. Can't
believe they are looking to finalize this by April.
Steve Moscone: worried about how our state government is
run. How can you possibly fund all the
mapping and services and give it to them by this date. Gary Lewis:
worst is that developments that get approved thru this township's
process has undergone a thorough review, and that their statement is we won't
lose ratables since they will tell us where we can 'make up' ratables,
and this fact apparently didn't matter as to what the impact would be to our
municipality. They will tell us what we
can use as a ratable. Mr. Moscone
elaborated on concerns.
Deborah Nielson: moved to request that we write to Highland
to extend comment period beyond April.
Michael Carroll, Esq.: thought
that it would be a good idea to request your local legislators to propose a
resolution to the assembly asking that they enter a request to extend adoption
as 'one entity' in addition to the Township requesting this. Agreed, motion amended and seconded by: Jean
Discussion ensued as to how long
we should request extension to.
Different timetables discussed:
Stan Omland, PE: 30 days
dependent on realization of receipt of additional data by that time and/or If
the data isn't released, then we would need longer than 30 days. Ultimately, based on suggestion by Township
Administrator, Frank Bastone, Board moved to request the Highlands consider
delaying adoption of policies as follows:
to allow a 60 day comment period at the time all mapping data is in a
useable form and available to the general public. Roll call vote: unanimous
Board discussed requesting
discrepancy funds. Motion made by:
Deborah Nielson to request grant/funds in the amount of $200,000 to allow Montville to develop
response to Highlands legislation.
Seconded by: Mayor Daughtry.
Roll call vote: Unanimous
Ladis Karkowsky: controversial subject and Planning Board
will continue to discuss this in the future.
No public comments at this time.
Overview of COAH/affordable
housing regulations
Joseph Burgis: presented overview and will focus on core
areas. Historic overview given starting
with the Mt. Laurel lawsuit that required every township to provide for its
fair share of its affordable housing.
COAH was established in l985.
They had 18 months to prepare regulations and in l986 they released the
affordable housing numbers. Mr. Burgis
reviewed Montville's affordable numbers starting from 1987 thru current
years. Our initial numbers was 280 but
was recalculated to 161 (1987 to 1999 fair share). They did not factor in recessions. In early 90's, townships barely saw affordable housing units
being constructed. Then the second round came in, they re-examined issue, and
now came up with a new number going back to 1987. They doubled the timeframe and cut the numbers in half. Now we have a third round certification,
which was supposed to start in 99, but wasn't published till 2004. The delay was because they wanted to wait
till 2000 census. This did a number of
things: they will now make this a
10-year time to coincide with census data.
COAH also had the 2000 census data and re-evaluated numbers. Montville's 280 units had a recalculated
number to 161. Montville's fared well
in adjusted process and this is significant.
Fair share approach is way they calculate, noting there are 6 regions,
and will be required to provide by proportion (employment, growth area, vacant
land, percentage of region, etc.).
Under this second round process,
obligation of 161 units, recognize we did a lot to address affordable housing
needs. We had 494 credits, which
indicates 333 surplus credits under second round process. We filed third round and receive extension.
Under third round they changed
rules of games. They allow you to make
determination. He summarized various
ways this is done. Under these rules,
rehab share, remaining prior rounds obligation and growth share requirements
There are a number of formulas in
third round rules, but these text comes down to basic: for every 8 dwelling
units from 2004 to 2014, create one unit; and for 25 jobs, create one unit
Growth share discussed. He indicated you have to look at CO's
construction permits and demo permits and project towards 2014. You then make
determination as to which projects will be built in this community, and look at
all vacant and under developed sites which sites have potential to redevelop to
see which of these sites will occur within ten year period (historic
trends). 3rd round has no
rehab requirement and since in the second round we had 494 credits, our
obligation is fulfilled and we now have 301 surplus credits.
Everything changed though, since
in the third week of January, ruling from Appellant came down to alter
regulations. They affirmed: use of 'filtering' unsupported by record, requiring
reconsideration of need calculation; growth share methodology invalidated to
extent that it relies on un-issued data from State Planning Commission, permits
municipalities to dictate their obligation through restrictions on growth and
excludes growth resulting from rehab and redevelopment. Invalidated regulations permitting municipalities
to impose set-aside without offsetting benefits, and invalidated regulations
permitting municipality to age--restrict up to 50% of affordable housing
needs. It significantly confirmed
regional contribution (RCA) that allows township's to send to another willing
township up to 50% of growth share obligations. They affirmed credits/bonus and vacant land adjustments. They said value of certain units in state
dropped to meet affordable housing demands.
Court picked up on this. This
has significant affect on what our new number may be. They invalidated regulations permitting township to impose set
aside without offsetting benefits. We
won't find supporting data to indicate 25 jobs equate to a housing need. State refused to leave this info out. This was thrown out. COAH and state planning are now making
decision to revamp the process or give us the information to exam it. This is one of many things at issue. Appellant decision requires COAH to supply
new rules in 6 months. Mr. Burgis doesn't
feel this will happen.
What does this decision mean: We applied for substantiate certification
and we cannot be sued since this is stayed as well as builder's remedies.
Township is still protected from exclusionary lawsuits. Affordable housing obligation
from prior rounds along with 3rd round are likely to change due to
filtering issue, but given amount of affordable units actually constructed
pursuant to prior round plan components, likely the township's revised
obligation will already be fulfilled.
Growth share ordinance
discussed. Mr. Burgis recommended we
consider this fee and collect the monies until all of this is sorted out.
Under 3rd ground rules,
you can make monetary contribution in lieu of building housing. Process
requires that an ordinance be set on this fee.
COAH didn't offer what this fee should be, but others use as low as
35,000 per unit; others came up with their own assessment, which should be
based on what the cost of unit would be in that municipality. Costs could be upwards of 480,000 so we
had a large range of prices for the same unit.
It was suggested to COAH that we have a set fee on a region-by-region
basis. Each region can stand on its
own, but it was felt the fee should not be one fee statewide. Mr. Burgis gave examples of what you can do
with these monies: Can use monies for
offering low mortgage. Cannot use it to
pay for an RCA to transfer.
Gary Lewis: should we develop a development fee
ordinance that if you don't have a development fee ordinance, vs growth share
ordinance and how does it differ? ;
Development fee ordinance establishes within COAH regulations a set fee that
imposes 1% of assessed value. You can
impose this on all types on housing.
You can exempt certain fees from this fee.
Gary Lewis: if a 3-lot subdivision comes in today, are
they suspended from this? Mr.
Burgis: they will allow you to provide
a setaside. Court says 20% is
sufficient. Gary Lewis: if we have a surplus, what purpose would
this be. Mr. Burgis: Numbers will be adjusted. Secondly, this doesn't end with round
3. There will be future rounds. Recommend these fees be implemented as an
ordinance. You can apply it to
non-residential which is 2% factor.
Monies though can only be used for COAH projects, mortgages; development
fees can be used for RCA.
Deborah Nielson: although we may have large surplus numbers
but some of these restrictions and controls have sunset provisions, and we will
lose these units? What is our protection
in place to extend them or some other mechanism to protect this base? Mr. Burgis:
he indicated you could extend by blanket ordinances. He also explained that these units were
designed to meet certain obligations, so these numbers don't come back to
create a problem in the future, but noted some believe differently. This will be looked at in court case. He
explained some of the original towns had 20-year restrictions, and this is why
they looked at extending ordinance on restrictions (mentioned Mahwah).
Jim Sandham: absent sunset decision, have credit and
filtering which is about 120 units, and do you think we will be in danger of
not having access to these numbers? Mr.
Burgis: under third round rules, crediting
process allows you to get certain percentage of credit; rental bonus is not
given under third round. Haven't
evaluated the third round. Mr.
Sandham: if you have excess credits are
there any restrictions on monies you get from sale? Mr. Burgis: on RCA, these
are two separate tings. Some
municipalities want to sell excess.
Gary Lewis: have a problem with setting up fee ordinance
and voice concerns with the type of fee that would be required of the
township. Deborah Nielson: you can use monies to help moderate-income
families rehab housing; can have any percentage, and can also se this monies
for income-qualified families.
Art Daughtry: asked that the Planning Board continue to
investigate this subject. Motion to
unanimously adjourn this special joint meeting of Township Committee and
Planning Board made by Deborah Nielson, Seconded by: Marie Kull.

Departments at The University of Texas at Austin are responsible for following the policies and procedures developed by Records Management Services (RMS) to preserve and protect all records that the department maintains or which are created or stored for the department by a private contractor to the university. Managing departmental records includes systematically controlling the department's records from creation to final disposition, whether that means the record is destroyed or transferred to the archives. Departments must also ensure contracts to create, manage, or maintain university records have provisions for the contractor to comply with state records laws and university records management policy. In order to effectively manage records, departments must designate at least one departmental records management contact (DRMC) using the Organizational Hierarchy System (OHS). Large departments with specialized divisions may designate a DRMC for each division.

If you use the Google search engine (and I'm guessing that includes pretty much everyone) you may have noticed a text box appearing on the screen during the past couple weeks, imploring you to read Google's new privacy disclosures, along with the caveat "this stuff matters." That text box stopped appearing on March 1, when Google introduced its new privacy policy. According to Reuters, at the beginning of the year, Google began reporting that it was simplifying its privacy policy, consolidating 60 guidelines into a single policy that applies to all its services, including YouTube, Gmail and the social network Google+.
According to the title of a Washington Post article, the "New privacy policy lets Google watch you – everywhere." More specifically, the new policy allows Google to track users' activities by consolidating information it gathers on them across all of the company's platforms. Users cannot opt out of the new policy if they want to continue using Google's services. A company representative, Alma Whitten, noted that until now, the company has been restricted in their ability to combine YouTube search histories, for example, with other information on a user's account (email activity). Although the company claims that it does not sell or trade personally identifiable user information, it now shares usage habits and historical data across all platforms and uses the information to match ads to your online behavior . Moreover, the fact that Google is gathering so much user specific information on individuals creates the potential for additional privacy implications in the future.
The National Association of Attorneys General sent a letter to Google signed by 36 members expressing concern about the new policy. In part, the letter noted:
Consumers have diverse interests and concerns, and may want the information in their Web history to be kept separate from the information they exchange via Gmail. Likewise, consumers may be comfortable with Google knowing their search queries but not with it knowing their whereabouts, yet the new privacy policy appears to give them no choice in the matter, further invading their privacy.
EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding stated that data protection agencies in European countries have concluded that Google's new privacy policy is in breach of European law. Given the amount of attention the new privacy policy has generated, it appears as though it's only a matter of time before the company faces its first significant legal challenge to the policy. Until then, the digital footprint of all internet users will undoubtedly continue to grow.

Anna Monhartova was named
first-team All C-USA
for the third straight season
April 30, 2001
NEW ORLEANS, La. - - The Tulane women's tennis team had four players earn All-Conference USA recognition, while Green Wave head coach David Schumacher was named as the league's Coach of the Year, the C-USA office announced on Monday.
Anna Monhartova, Julie Morris, Joyce Bergman and Nancy Kockott were each named to the list of Conference USA postseason award winners. Tulane led all schools with four selections, while UAB was next with three honorees. The all-conference teams were selected in a vote of the league's 12 women's tennis head coaches.
The Conference USA awards come on the heels of Tulane's first-ever Conferece USA Women's Tennis title, which the Green Wave captured on April 22 in Hattiesburg, Miss., with a 4-0 triumph over No. 1 seed UAB.
"This is a great accomplishment for the women's tennis program at Tulane," Schumacher said. "I think this shows the depth of our team, which is obviously a key ingredient to winning championships. We have worked very hard to make Tulane one of the top programs in women's tennis and this is hopefully another step in that process. It is nice to have that effort recognized."
A senior from Plzen, Czech Republic, Monhartova was named first-team All-Conference USA for the third straight season. So far she has compiled an impressive 16-6 record in dual matches, playing at No. 1 singles. She has won six straight matches and 12 of her last 13. Currently ranked 24th by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), Monhartova has been ranked as high as ninth after having reached the semifinals of the ITA National Clay Court Championships this past fall. In addition, Monhartova was named as the Tulane Female Student-Athlete of the Year and was named to the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll.
Morris and Bergman each earned second-team All-Conference USA honors. Morris, a sophomore from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., has posted a 14-7 record this spring, including a 12-4 mark at the No. 2 singles spot. She compiled a 4-0 record against Conference USA opponents, including wins in both of her completed matches at the C-USA Tournament. Bergman, a junior from Pinehurst, N.C., was also undefeated at the C-USA Tournament, playing at the No. 3 singles position. Her most impressive win, however, came against South Alabama's Silvia Sosnorova, who was ranked 31st by the ITA at the time.
Kockott, a freshman from South Africa, was named third-team All-Conference USA. She has compiled a 12-7 overall record, but is 6-2 at her customary No. 4 spot. A versatile performer who has seen action at every spot except No. 1 singles, Kockott and teammate Olga Mikhailova won the clinching doubles point at No. 2 doubles in the C-USA Tournament championship match against UAB.
Schumacher, in his second season as the head coach of the Green Wave, was selected as the 2001 Conference USA Coach of the Year. He led the Wave to its first-ever Conference USA title last weekend in Hattiesburg, Miss., guaranteeing the team its second NCAA Tournament appearance in the last three seasons. After a tough early-season schedule which saw the Wace face nine nationally-ranked opponents, Schumacher has led Tulane to a 11-2 record in its last 13 matches.
"It is an honor to be named coach of the year, especially considering it was voted on by my peers" Schumacher said. "Hopefully we can use these accomplishments to continue our momentum as we head into the NCAA Tournament."
The Green Wave next see action in the NCAA Tournament, but must wait to learn the site and opponent of its first-round match.

Clumsy days and hazy nights
Haunting and bring me tears
I should stop perturbing
Whilst my heart still whipping
Wrath of nature is just reflection
Of my fragments that created imprints
Within my being that stands steadfast
Even in the darkest days of my existence.

Laying here ...
On the grass
Its such a peaceful night
Layin here ...
As I slowly inhale, exhale
Among the diamonds in the sky
I soon begin to visualize
Your perfect face,
your perfect smile
My mind quickly begins to rewind
To the days when you and I
were more than once upon a time.
I have but one regret in life
I let insecurities dictate how I walked the line
Hand in hand with ignorance and pride
So many feelings I held inside
The love of my life, I self denied
If only I had told u a long time ago
Your name is written on my heart,
Your silhouette imprinted within my soul
Maybe u would have never closed your door
on me ....
I cant get in.....
He changed the lock
And now she holds the key.
And here I am
Laying here ...
Wondering if she sees
You as I do now.

She walked through the woods
remembering his face
ashen and grey against the pillow.
He had been taken by
the sweeping sickness
that had engulfed her land
taken so swiftly
that she had not
had time to reach him.
The pain of her loss
had been unbearable
and she had roamed the house
striking out
in rage and grief
at anyone who came close.
The madness had left her eventually,
left her alone
bereft of her love.
That was many years ago now,
but still his face haunted her,
his eyes accusing
filled with
the horror of her absence
the terror
that he must face alone
the time of his death.
It never left her, this guilt she carried.
Many had consoled her, told her that she
was not blame,that it was not her fault.
She knew better,she remembered telling him one dreadful
storm filled night, that she would always be there.
She shook her head free of the memories,
she was old now and it was so long ago,
she would be welcomed when she left this earth.
Absolved of this guilt that had consumed her life.
She saw the tree as she entered the clearing.
His treee, his favorite place.
Whenever he was troubled or scared
she would find him there,curled up beneath the boughs.
It was his haven, his place of safe keeping.
Glancing around she felt again,as she always did
his presence near to her, tantalisingly close.
She walked to the tree and sat down,
resting her back against the trunk,
letting the sunlight warm her face.
Slowly as she sat there, eyes closed and silent.
He came to her as if in a dream,
or perhaps she was dreaming, she did not know
or care,she only knew he was before her,
that her love was with her once more .
Tears streamed from her eyes and her throat burned
as he touched her face,stroked her hair.
A smile touching his lips as he gazed into her eyes.
Slowly he knelt before her and lay back,
resting his head on her lap.
Happiness swept through her like fire,
he was forgiving her, letting her know
that it was not her fault that he had died alone.
Her hand traced the features she loved more than life
and her lips met his in an endless kiss.
The night was dark when the villagers found her.
She was sitting in a clearing, lying next to a tree.
The moonlight illuminated her in its silvery rays
and in its bathing light they saw what they had
not seen in decades. She was smiling, in death
she was smiling.

I miss the way you hugged me when I cried and how you told me how you loved me
every night but now you won't even look at me and you don't even talk to me
anymore and when I'm upset you just laugh and walk away........... All I want to
know is what did I do that was so bad that you treat me like a punching bag........ I
miss the way you kissed me but I guess you've moved on and I try boy do I try but
your all I dream about all I think about is you, you were my world and now your
gone I'm so lost without you I cry every night because someone will say your
name....... What I miss most of all is that I could tell you anything but now you won't
even listen.............. What kills me is you saying goodbye for good goodbye god
those words kill me every time good bye good bye good bye....

A yearn… simply something that you want or long for. As a yearn to finish, a yearn to achieve, a yearn for a like, a yearn for a smile is something that you drastically want, a desire. Something that you spend long hours, nights even day dreaming hours thinking about how you can earn that smile. What can you do…. or what can you say … things such as a conversation sparks, likes even dislikes, mostly anything that will crack a smile. These are things that truly show signs of something far greater than fame, sex, money, power. What is it? Something more than I have yet to find. So as I search for the answer I over shoot the entrance with rapid thinking of what she wants, her likes, her dislikes. But truly it will only be earned by who you are, what you want to be, yourself, your feelings your desires, your yearn. So when you yearn for that smile or that special something it can only be earned by being you, no one else. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and try to see past the makeup or tan or piercing and just look at yourself… then take that image and imprint it to yourself forever because to find happiness and your yearn can only be earned one way. Trying to watch her and she how she reacts to certain things just to make myself seem better when I finally open my mouth to her will only make you distant from that special someone. With me I personally see myself as buff pierced orange person, while trying to continue to follow the people who I look up to the most. So as you struggle and go through life's trials and tribulations always look at your yearn or what it once it what was. Think about how you felt when you failed or succeeded and try to make yourself a better person from it. Not by adding more glamour or appeal to yourself but by being closer to yourself. What you really are. Because only then can you truly say you earned your yearn of a smile or that special someone, even if there not with you, apart of them will be and that's the part they left. The part that made you better. More complete. So never forget your yearn of her..

People think they know you but truth is no one really knows the true you. People always say they know me but do they really? Know one knows the true real me only I know all my secrets and the things I hide and know when I am hiding my emotions. You look at some one and judge them just by the way they look or talk and dress, but do you really know what is going on? People judge me all the time for how I look, how I dress, how I talk, how I act towards people. You can't just judge some one when you first meet or see them. Why is it that people judge each other? If you just judge people and not get to see the real them you might just miss out on a nice person. Yes I judge people but I at least give them a chance to prove my judgment wrong.

Roses are red, Violets are blue,
Birds are still chirping and clouds are askew;
The sun is still shining as the flowers renew.
Leaving me breathless reveling the view,
I leisurely watch as though I'm wanted too.
Roses are dry, violets are tilting,
Shadows gloom over the barren and wilting;
I sit there and watch, my happiness jilting.
What once was so vibrant was now turned to grey,
Slowly but surely withering away.
Roses are dead, as violets are too,
Everything in sight now an ungodly hue;
My once a happy life was swallowed by truth.
Wondering why after all this time I've succumb,
I silently apologized as my body went numb.

Maybe she doesn't take the covers
Off her furniture because she
Doesn't want it to feel like home
Maybe she painted the walls black
Because her favourite colour was
Maybe she threw her vinyl records
Off the fourteenth floor because
She adored them so much
Maybe she drank whisky a little
Too much because it reminded
Her of her father's breath
Maybe she broke all the frames
On her shelf because they were
Her mother's favourites
Maybe she liked to stare at flames
And ashes because it resembled
Her childhood
And maybe that's why she returned
The flowers he gave her because she
Didn't want to ruin him too.

Now's the time to say good-bye...
And, no, I won't miss you,
And, No, I won't cry.
I've gotta move on, get outta this place,
I'm sick of your "stuff", tired of your face.
Once upon a time, our hearts were both pure,
But now, you're my nightmare,
And I'm just your whore.
Laughter and love no longer remain,
I know if I stay here you'll drive me insane,
With your goddamn attitude, your late night alibi's
All of your promises that turned into lies...
So I hesitate before I reach the door,
And take a look around once more.
You're staring at me with sadness in your eyes,
I know you too well, baby, it's just a disguise.
Now's the time to say good-bye...
And, YES, I will miss you,
And, YES, I will cry.

Mom I promised you I would do my best to help my brothers and sisters pass
life's test to remember how you were before you were laid to rest.
Mom I`m finding it really hard to do, my brothers don`t talk to each other they`re
playing a fool, my sisters can`t stop crying for you.
Mom I fill no matter what I do it`s not right, try finding peace in this family fight only
to find I did nothing by the end of night.
Mom I remember our last talk, you said no matter what you would be by while I
take this walk, mom I need your strength for my life they mock.
Mom I told you I`d be fine, that I was not blind, that at the end of this road peace I
would find,
Mom I fill I`m not the one, all this stress I`m not having fun`m stepping up while
the others run.
Mom I told you I promise, but it`s my family that suffers and it`s them I miss, so I
ask you please help me through this.
Mom I am doing what I said I would, while the others fail to do what they should,
Mom I did the best I could.
Mom,.... how come,.... you chose me to be the one?

I smoke this cigarette
One puff at a time
I smoke this cigarette
And wonder why I'm dying
My teeth are yellow
My lungs are black
All I do is hack and hack
My hair smells bad
My clothes stink too
Is that why you don't want me next to you
I can't walk up the steps
With out running out of breath
My chest feel tight
Its hard to sleep at night
I spend all my money
I could buy other thing
Hell with all I spend
I could buy diamond rings
For you or my kids that I'm going to leave behind
I can't believe I don't care that I'm dying

Waves of freezing emotions turning,
The cold, so powerful it feels like burning,
Uncontrollable flow of uncertainty,
Ice locking up efforts for comfort,
Feeling of urgency, of wasted chance for solution,
No safe place to run, no happy place to hide,
White snow outside, black clouds inside,
Covering frozen ground, distancing warming sun,
Back to an old ways, recollecting the old days,
Time lapse rushing and erasing,
Back to the old, lost in the flow,
Continuing, returning, same words repeating,
Days keep on turning,
No long term solutions,
Just same old confusions.

I know its the summer time because of how naturally
Your beauty compliments the caress of a summer breeze
As I watch the world from beneath a shady tree
I take in the delightful comfort of everything I see
But in the same breath I am holding up my hands
Lord will you please give me back the things I no longer have
They are even more a part of me now that they are gone
As the sun falls below where the horizon is still holding on
Somewhere between the falling light and a star lit night
Is a dream that last forever and will never say goodbye
As the wind gently blows through the brush and shakes the leaves
It begins to hum a melody that I want to sing
At that very moment I smile for all the joy I have
Its so uplifting for me to see melancholy dance
Soon the morning sun will rise and capture my eyes
As I watch the hand of God paint a brand new sky
With every stroke of color I swallow all my pride
And I find a new place to dream of endless times
If I should ever get to the place I left my broken heart
Only then will I believe this brand new day will start
Again Im reminded of why my heart beats so restlessly
Only the speed of thought and my soul beneath this tree

That dark night, I cried in the heavy rain,
And cold drops blended with my grave pain,
O, sorrow, thou shed down my live meadows,
What relief didst bear thy wary falling widows.
Lost deceived spirit from not love betrayed,
Cold in the dark, tyrannized silence swayed,
The splash of paradise glory cannot be seen,
And all agonized humour shade eyes' screen.
Night haunted thoughts, and my dejected soul
hovered in the chilly dreams of undying fall,
Frozen in mortality, knowing yet, there's more,
Of my future history to be told of my past lore.
Dark in the cold, deluded by paths of lies,
Paved by fatuous wisdom and falling rise;
Lost in legacy, impeded by hysterical ties
I obediently surrender to stream of eyes.
My father shed a tear before he calmly died,
A single shallow burn on skin swiftly dried.
And the morning lionized congruous rain,
How rigorous thou art, nature, when in pain.

Listen my love...
It's time to say
Since the day the
world came into
existence it has
been grim and cold!
Like a medicine
we'll have to take
sooner or later
Its taste in our
mouth bitterish
At this time tears
and promises will be
In an empty solace
we believe.
The curtains fall,
the film is over
The one we thought
would never end.
As you see we've got
nothing to talk
about anymore
Just sorrow in our
This is separation
what we had never
It's the twin sister
of death
I'm leaving! We'll
never see each other
This were our last
You'll start a new
life now
with your new
he'll kiss your
hands now
he'll whisper love
to your ear
Except for the
what a shame
...there'll be
nothing left of me
inside of you
put out your
cigarette we can get
up now
10 steps later our
paths have to split
Don't! No don't cry
And don't say
anything to me
Cause even when
you're breaking up
one should stand
I'm leaving..yes I'm
We'll never get to
see each other again
This were our last
You'll start a new
life now
him with your new

If I could turn back the hands of time,
To sight of green grass and colourful flowers nod together,
In warm, quiet and friendly whisper in the midday breeze,
The language I could clearly treasure and understand,
Under the verdant branches in the veldt where I used to play.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
To melancholy songs of the cuckoo birds,
To the bees murmuring, small birds chanting merrily,
To the sounds of water in raging rivers and streams,
And the heavy pattering rain on the zinc roof.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
To smells of steaks and chips in the passageways,
Delightful odours of plants so sweet and strong,
To home brewed beers in the over-brimming glasses,
And the golden apple green as the fridge swings open.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
And feel warm heater air caressing me in winter,
The soft touch of aircon in the sweltering atmosphere,
Sweet taste of coffee and cold drinks to relieve fatigue as the sun breaks,
That made me dream of the events before tomorrow!
I used to stretch my hands, dressed myself and went where I wanted,
But now , with my joints all aching, senses fading and eyes gradually growing dim,
I stretch out my hands and somebody dresses me up,
And leads me to where I do not want to go,
Yes, I cannot turn back the hands of time now!

Is this pain real or are we the ones who created it??
Did we create all the bad feelings or were they already created?
Are we the ones who opened the cage for it?
When did we surrender to pain, hate, cruelty and darkness?
Happy life has vanished from this world... We weep every time we feel sad....
Why can't we weep when we are happy?
Even though there are no happy moments
There's a story in our tears
There's a story in our fears
There's a story in our pictures
There's a story in our lives
Those story's will always be in our hearts
None of them will show on our faces...

You dont have to do the things that I like anymore
you can come home at what gour you want
you can stay awake on the street and never go home what do I care
Im tired of loving waiting worring and missing you
find yourself another hero I became history for you along time ago
I gave up daydreaming about you I burnt your photos I threw away your belongings
maybe it wasnt as eay as I thought but I have come to accept it
I gave up everything not just you everything that contains you

Does this darkness have a name?
Does this hatred and cruelty have no mercy?
Why do we make fun of those who look ugly..... What is happening to us judging others by their clothes and looks.... Who are we to judge?????
You think you have everything but you've got nothing if you kept judging others by their looks…... Have a heart for once... What are we doing..??? Have you ever asked yourself this question....??!! What am I doing..??!! We lost our humanity We are not humans anymore If we kept doing the same stupid (bullying) every day...??!! Don't call yourself human if you kept talking badly about others... Weak people are living in their own shadows We consumed all our breath creating the darkness for the weak people... Does this darkness have a name?! Is it your name ???? Is it my name ???? Is it humanity's name ???? Someone answer me ..!!?? Why are we harassing others ?????
Why don't we just avoid all this and live a happy life ?????
Sometimes I sit all alone,and remember all the promises we made together,than I see them fade away in the wind,kind like the petals of a flower, were feelings over come my fear,than I remember you had me on a spell,you deserve a round of applause,you had me fool, you always was embarrass of me,according to you I was the clown,were all the tears you gave me,were behind the jokes i made,and the smile I kept from fallen down,you deserve a round of applause,what's your next trick?,try to break my heart,or better yet,lie to me, make me fall back to your arms, what's the matter cat got your tongue,that's not suppost to happen to you, your like the best when it comes to magic, you once told me I was your light,trust me not the light of the dance floor,more like that old abandon light bulb in your closet door, you deserve a round of applause,you had me fool,I could swarn,that trick was real,you gave me so much to think about,and tears to deal, what's your next trick? Run away with someone else and forget about me? Do me a favor and erase my mind,and blind my eyes with more lies, you can't miss ,it works every time, for your last final trick, steal the show with your screams and hits,this time I'll know,I'm not to blame,you can hand cuff me,and rip my heart once again,don't you worry is just a stage,sometimes I sit here all alone as I turn the page,the rip pages of our love story,I finally came to the end,did you know she didn't love him cuz he wasn't cool,oh wow! you deserve a round of applause you had me fool.

Love don't paas me by because i'm sweet as honey freash as a
lily and i bloom just like a rose.
When you look into my eyes you can see the truth be told deep
within my soul.
Sweet love don't pass me by on this lonely night i cry.
I am as gentel as a feather i am as an angel who is always ther for
you to protect and comfort you,
i am as the sun that shines after a stormy day,
i am a rainbow of luck that'll make your days so swell.
Sweet love dont pass me by when i am here for you: rather you are rich
or poor, rather you are right or wrong ,rather you doubt me
or beleive me, just don't use me or abuse cause what I say is real and
true... true unto my heart and soul.
Sweet love don't pass me by on this lonely night i gaze into the moon and the
glisten stars that shines so bright in the mid-night sky
hoping and praying that this love we share just
don't pass me by.

Love, this is the home of craggy sorrow
Each bleak house hugs a solitary widow
Waiting more at a pale silent window
Which portends the dead empty path
This carry the northern cold winds
Of early mornings into the gloomy strath,
Folding time, impatience and wrath,
And all day long, become friends
Footsteps' echoes and pattering of little ones,
Nabbing illusions of joyful shades of tones,
And miserable hearts those endowed anxiety,
And eyes, lips and noses always ready to cry,
Yet how they are innocent, ignorant and pretty.
O love, how the untold words are never dry,
And never desert me like the green in a cedar
Everlasting homage to warmth of leaves
I doubt that my absence should less differ;
I believe when time rashly counts and leaves,
I should feel your waiting when I disappear
Holding close to my soul your rich serenity,
I should roam your world like a dead star;
Long ago vanished, yet glistens bright and clear
Like your sad eyes when full of precious tears
Those guard your peace and banish your fears.

At times I feel like I'm Judas
Who gave up and betrayed
I feel like I'm trapped in a cage,
Slaved and made ready for trade
I feel like I'm raped and abused
And all infected with aids
Paralysed and standing on the blood stained
Side of the blade
At times I feel like words,
Moments before they are erased
Determined to mean something
But deprived of praise, deserved
No wonder I choose to put on a smile,
While my soul dies inside
We all wearing masks,
And mine has a face called 'everything's aight'
At times I feel like a carcass,
Being sucked by flies
More like an infant that cries
After being circumsized
And my nights? Are all filled with hatred
My hearts' aching, I keep believing I might never make it
I deserve to hang naked,
On the balcony of hell
With six pieces of my flesh,
Locked up on a cell
Because I'm still a sinner,
I still drown in this mud of guilt
But I'll never keep my eyes off the church
Christ wants me to build

Please don't leave us,
We need you more than you ever know,
We love you Freddie,
And we do not want you to go.
Who would hug us?
And wipe our fears when we are in pain,
Hold us when we needed it the most,
For the past few years.
Forget about the others,
And think about your family for once,
You will be leaving us behind?
We will miss your sweet smiling face,
We will miss your happiness,
We will miss your hugs,
Please don't leave us,
But it won't make us love you any less.
If you chose to go,
Then we will wish you well,
Remeber all the stories you told me.
Memories stay locked in out minds forever,
And when you leave you still be in our hearts,
always and forever.

The Wildcat women's basketball team is showing something down the stretch that some were not expecting. Not only are they proving to be one of the most talented teams in the country, but Sunday's win over USC showed that this team has heart, and heart can carry you far in March!
Let's go back to the crumbling confines of the L.A. Sports Arena, where peanuts from past Clippers games still litter the hallways. Now this is the home of USC basketball, a proud place where a crowd of 1,000 brightens the mood about as much as a Valentine's Day card from Saddam Hussein. It was late in the first half when Arizona's star freshman, Shawntinice Polk, crumbled to the floor with a severe ankle injury, and at half time the Wildcats' 16-point lead was had been cut to just 5.
To the second half we go... The walking wounded were playing hard. Sophomore guard Dee-Dee Wheeler was stopping between dribbles to rub her injured wrists. Senior forward Krista Warren was bandaged on her shooting hand, and Aimee Grzyb was playing with all sorts of bumps and bruises. Things were not going well for this young M.A.S.H. unit. USC's Ebony Hoffman was lighting it up, and Arizona had fallen behind by 11 points at the halfway mark of the second period.
Then, it happened. Somewhere, out of the dim shadows of the ancient arena came Polkey. She was running to the bench, and a large gathering of fans from her hometown of Hanford California, began to hoop and holler. Polkey was back. Spirits lifted, and the game turned around.
After Polkey stepped onto the floor, Arizona out-scored USC by 25 points. It wasn't just about Polkey. Even with two bad wrists, Dee-Dee Wheeler made inhuman shots and was spectacular down the stretch. Senior Julie Brase was terrific, scoring 20 points and stealing the ball at crunch time, which took any air that was left out of the Trojans' balloon.
The Cats had done it! They had come back, on the road, with injuries, and beaten a red-hot USC team. This was cause for celebration! In the locker room after the game, the team celebrated not with champagne, but with ice and electrical therapy. But it didn't matter because Arizona had won, and in fine fashion.
Heart is difficult to define. But now, if anyone asks you to describe heart, tell him or her about the Wildcats at USC on February 16, 2003. That was heart!
See you on the radio!

Eastern European Topics at the Student Research Conference
Projects at November's Student Research Conference featured a topics that focused on Penn State Greater Allegheny's Teaching International theme of Eastern Europe. Videos and posters made by students working both individually and in groups from a variety of different fields and courses were on display in the Ostermayer Room on November 18. The following features just a sample of the Eastern European themed projects from the conference.
Students Caroline Burke and Carolyn Edwards from Dr. Breckinridge's Theatre 282 course presented a poster describing their Eastern Europe themed class objectives. The duo extracted the plots of some of the region's well known folk tales to develop into plays.
"We wrote the scripts, interviewed for parts and directed the students in their pantomiming," Caroline explained.
Folk tales like Hungary's "The Magic Doctor," Russia's "Baba-Yaga" and Poland's "The Dragon of Krakow" were passed down orally like many legends and fairy tales and, while they can seem exaggerated and fantasized, they reveal aspects of life in that part of the world.
"These stories are usually about the hierarchy. They were told from the peasants' point of view. They weren't meant to be told to children but, rather, around a fire," Carolyn said.
Dr. Kobylanski's Marketing 450w course was well represented as a number of students investigated the progress and impact of American companies in Eastern Europe. Clayton Delaney, Breanne Lilja, Anna Maksin and Zach Rowe noted the "green" efforts of UPS in Romania. The group explained that higher gas prices in Eastern Europe led the shipping company finding new alternatives to automobiles, including the use of bicycles, to deliver packages.
Matt Kiss examined the influence that Coca-Cola and Marlboro had on citizens in Poland. "Coke basically capitalized on their revamped economy" Matt said. "They reinvested in bottling companies in the country."
Yet another Marketing group comprised of Allison Haag, Kevin Hammerstrom, Shannon Kovac and Don Shulock indicated the differences in approach that fast food giant McDonald's takes in Poland compared to here in America.
"One thing we noticed was how differently they advertize there. They target different demographics." Allison said. "[The food] is a little more expensive in Poland. They have a few different menu items and appeal to local tastes, but McDonald's is still marketed as a fast food restaurant" Don added.
Dr. Brown displayed short documentary films made by students in her Marketing 310 class at the conference, too. Groups of four to five students worked to capture and upload video and edit footage down to three to four minute documentaries which kept within the themes of Eastern Europe and human rights.
One group, represented by Alyssa Lapinski, took an in-depth look at the Katyn Forest massacre. They interviewed Penn State Beaver professor and expert on the topic, Dr. Szymczak (some may recall his visit early in the Fall semester to lecture on the Katyn Forest massacre), and had the challenge of editing roughly forty-five minutes worth of footage down to less than five.
Other groups included Chris O'Neal's, which addressed the large numbers of domestic violence cases in Ukraine, and Breanne Lilja's group's look at the world of Russian "mail-order brides" complete with interviews with fellow students and faculty members on the topic.
A documentarian herself, Dr. Brown was pleased with the final products of her students. "It's very fulfilling as a faculty member to enlighten students through marketing concepts and to have them engage in film and video productions that brings light to human rights issues in Eastern Europe."

After 49 years of selling cars as a dealer here in upstate NY, I have found the car of my dreams. As many of you know of me in the collector hobby and world of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, hear this.
For 29 years I sold just Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars to folks all over the country. They were great cars but after a ride in a friend's new '95 Jaguar XJS I knew I wanted one for myself. Years passed and my searching around led me to the 23,000 mile '95 XJS and I bought it sight unseen. It had just won first place at The British Invasion at Stowe, VT. The fellow who had it was a collector who bought it from the original collector owner.
When it arrived it was simply "as new". One drive around Seneca Lake had me convinced. This is the car of my dreams, having owned Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Aston Martin cars, none can compare. The styling, the burled walnut, the smell. Having the bulletproof 4.0 six cyl was indeed a "plus". It is a true high speed touring car which is both stylish and comfortable, with a huge trunk.
The car of my dreams is here, and at 73 ready and to retire, I will enjoy this grand tourer for many years...

College Hockey:Parise Tricks Yale as No. 2 Sioux Win, 10-0
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — After No. 2 North Dakota's Friday night's 8-4 victory over Yale, Fighting Sioux coach Dean Blais said that one of his team's objectives Saturday night was to win the first period.
The Sioux not only won the first period against Yale 4-0, they also won the second period 4-0 and the third period 2-0 en route to a 10-0 thrashing of the Bulldogs. Zach Parise led the way with a hat trick and an assist.
Until Saturday night, UND had been outscored 5-1 in the first period during their first four games of the season,
"Last night, we didn't feel good about an 8-4 win," Blais said. "It wasn't the eight goals that we scored, it was the four that we gave up."
The second game against Yale was different from the start.
"From the get-go, we had good jump and puck movement. We weren't struggling in our own end, and that was key," Blais said.
It took the Sioux just 13 seconds to win the opening period and the game. Freshman forward Brady Murray scored his first goal of the season, which stood as the game winner. Junior wing Brandon Bochenski blocked Yale's clearing attempt and passed to Parise, who dished the puck to Murray, all alone in front of the net.
"I was very frustrated with my play in the first couple games because I was doing things that I don't usually do," Murray said.
"The last few games I've gotten back more to my style of play and I just feel much more comfortable out there."
Murray's quick goal opened the floodgates, as players who hadn't scored a goal yet this season tallied the next four UND goals. All four Sioux lines scored goals and 10 of 12 UND forwards picked up at least one point.
"That's the difference between this year's and last year's team," Parise said. "You can't shut down one line. We can throw four lines at you and everyone's a scoring threat.
"That's something we didn't have last year and it's something you need to win championships."
UND's first line — centered by Parise with Bochenski and Murray on the wings — gave Yale fits. Besides Parise, who scored his fourth career hat trick and added an assist for a four-point night, Murray also had four points with a goal and three assists while Bochenski added two assists.
"I got to sit back tonight and watch my line play," Bochenski said. "Brady and Zach played a hell of a game."
In addition to Murray's goal, the other Sioux first period goals were scored by Parise at 6:55, junior center Rory McMahon at 14:05 and junior forward Brian Canady at 14:29.
The UND onslaught continued in the second period with goals by freshman forward Chris Porter at 7:39, junior forward Quinn Fylling at 14:40, Parise at 17:16, and freshman forward Drew Stafford at 18:28.
At the start of the third period, Yale coach Tim Taylor replaced junior goalie Peter Cohen with sophomore Josh Gartner. Cohen stopped 23 of 31 shots he faced over 40:00 and Gartner stopped 14 of 16.
For UND, junior Jake Brandt started in goal and stopped all 10 shots he faced. At the 8:36 mark of the third period, he was replaced by freshman goalie Jordan Parise, who stopped both Yale shots on goal that he saw.
Sioux goals in the third period were scored by Zach Parise at 4:03 and Quinn Fylling at 18:52, giving the junior wing four goals for the weekend and five for the season.
Taylor described the series against the Sioux as "a humbling experience."
"It kind of knocks us down to ground zero. We know we have an awful lot of things to work on," the coach said.
"I like the character of our team. It was not an easy weekend to live through as a coach and certainly not as a player, but we'll be the stronger for it."
If there was any negative aspect for the Sioux, it was that they have yet to score on the power play this season. They went 0-for-2 Saturday and are now 0-for-26 on the season through six games.
UND improves to 5-1 and opens its WCHA conference schedule on Nov. 7-8 at home with a two-game series against No. 10 Minnesota. Yale is 0-2 and hosts No. 11 Cornell and Colgate next weekend.

Alan Uglow, "Hanging Standard # 4 (Green Gold)," 2006, acrylic on cotton, 48 x 60"
Alan Uglow, Untitled, 2008, acrylic on fiberglass, 45 x 60"
Alan Uglow, "Standard # 2 (Red Oxide)," 2002, acrylic on cottonRoberta Smith reports in the NY Times: "Alan Uglow, an abstract painter of light-filled geometries whose expansive fields, bordered with notched lines, reflected in part his passion for soccer, died on Jan. 20 in Manhattan, where he lived. He was 69. The cause was complications of lung cancer, said his wife, Elena Alexander. Mr. Uglow was what is often called a painter's painter, respected within the art world's precincts but not well known beyond them."
Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin
Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin
From the Galerie Nordenhake web page for Uglow:
"One major influence for Uglow's paintings comes from his lifelong fascination with football. It led to sculptures and photographs related to the spatial structure of the stadium, like his constructions "Sudcurve" (1993) or "Coach's Bench" (1997/98). On a few occasions this type of work has been exhibited together with a roaring soundtrack recorded in the stands of a crowded football stadium. But there are also clear links between the beautiful game and his paintings, for example in the stripes of his 1992 work "Stadium II" that evoke the white marking lines on the football field.
"He is interested in paintings ability to be timeless - there is no difference between a recent stadium painting and an early one. His paintings are pristine but do not lose their touch with reality. Their seriality and uniformity does in fact relate to the ordinary and the mundane, and also the choice of titles and colours point in this direction. Hotels and football stadiums are generic in their functions and general layout, colours chosen might relate to the colour of a passing car or to be taken off a colour chart. His spare, elegantly proportioned abstractions are not strictly minimal or formal, they do misbehave and are not painted with proclaimed primary colours such as in the recent work "Hanging Standard # 2 (Blue)" where white fields are bisected by light blue iridescent bands. In Uglow's practice the exploration of the essentials of painting is not an end in itself but a means to generate the sense of discovery and psychological confrontation. "

|What does the future hold for restricted patterns?
|MASS Colloquium
|Zvezdelina Stankova, Mills College
|Restricted patterns made their major debut into the math arena in the 80's, with the works of Simion, Schmidt, Wilf, Lovasz, Lothaire, Rotem, Richards and many others. In truth, they had already permeated mathematical research since the 60's via Robinson-Schensted's, Knuth's and Stanley's earlier results. In fact, any time you stumble upon the Catalan, Fibonacci or Stirling numbers, Dyck paths, Young diagrams, random matrices, generating trees or Chebychev or Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, restricted patterns are likely to appear in one incarnation or another. The more recent rebirth of the topic was initiated by West in 1992, and taken up by a number of researchers, including Bona, Albert, Arratia, Backelin, Babson, Mansour, Marcus and Tardos. Yet, the ever-tempting Wilf-classification of restricted patterns is still a wide open question. In this talk, we shall walk along several paths of pattern-exploration that originated at the Duluth REU in 1991-92, and discuss whether, among the array of generated ideas and methods, there is a "true'' way of approaching pattern-avoidance equivalence and ordering.

Cocosmom says:
My Osteopath got me thinking a few weeks ago (he does horses and people) and said a lot of his clients use gel pads now, not because their saddles dont fit, just becuase they add comfort and they have been really impressed with how their way of going has improved as result.
I mentioned this to the lady who keeps her ponies with Coco now and she offered me hers to try out for a couple of weeks to see what I thought. Due the rain I've not had chance to really push Coco in it in a schooling session but out hacking he seems to be going well in it but I guess the real test will be schooling and dressage as that is when he can get lazy. I know his saddle fits as I have it regularly checked and he wasn't having problems before I am literally trying it to see if it makes a difference but if it adds comfort I'm all for getting one for him.
Just wondered really if anyone on here uses them, why you started to use it, which one you use and if you know which ones are best? Also do you use saddle cloths underneath them? The one I am borrowing is a Gel-eze I think, black and is just over a cm thick. I am using a very thin saddle cloth underneath it as its not mine so want to keep it clean and I doubt they are machine washable! I like it but cant seem to find one like on websites so it may be quite old and no longer available.

i use a Stephens gel eze pad, underneath a saddlecloth, next to the skin. I like that it's really slim so doesnt add bulk or change the fit of the saddle.
It helps stop saddle slipping,and I think kind of massages back too? My horse is cold backed, Thats why I use one, and it definately makes him better.
To wash I just bung in washing machine, and comes out lovely and sticky again! Only dont drop it on the floor as every bit of grit available sticks to it!

I use the gel-eze gel pad, I started using it 2 yrs ago because my cob needed extra comfort as he had a bad back, it's helped him so much I even got another one for my Connie just for more comfort in general
I definitely recommend it for comfort !

I have the Stephens one Mel is talking about, I got it as a gift and I use it for Blair just when he's jumping to absorb any concussion on his back if there's a dodgy landing. I was given it as a present and want to keep it good, if they were cheaper I'd use it more often lol! For everyday use I have a sheepskin half pad (Griffin) and I don't think I'd ride Blair without something like that as he does get a bit sensitive and likes his tack a certain way, otherwise you get ragdolled.

i use an equigel one, or something like that. Find it very useful, use it every day on top of an ordinary numnah. I just find it makes Joel more comfortable and just absorbs some of the pressure for him :)

iv got a gel-eeze, its non slip too, and is all holey (the only way i can describe it) so it can go straight on her back (breathable) I put a numnah/pad on top, iv also worn used it on top of pads too. I do think they're useful to have and gives me piece of mind as its non slip too, so i dont worry going down hill (flick is a bit rotund sometimes) ... well worth owning one, for shock absorbing, comfort etc..
