Led by the expressively exacting conductor Charles Dutoit, the San Francisco Symphony this week is performing two colossal religious works for orchestra and chorus. One turns out to be sensuous, warm-hearted, light as air: a pious souffle. It's by Poulenc. The other is ponderous, weighty, straining for effect: a reverential meat dish. Like a bulging roast, spilling off its platter, it's by Berlioz.
Poulenc's "Stabat Mater" and Berlioz's "Te Deum" are "big-deal pieces," as James M. Keller, the orchestra's program annotator, put it in a preconcert talk Wednesday at Davies Symphony Hall. Neither is performed all that much, however. Poulenc's work, from 1951, has taken a back seat to his better-known "Gloria." Likewise, Berlioz's colossus, from 1849, is overshadowed by his Requiem. At Wednesday's program, which repeats through Sunday, the contrast between these two French evocations of religious ideals couldn't have been greater.
Clocking in at around half an hour -- with Swiss-born Dutoit maintaining a sensuous pulse even through its slowest and (so they say) most sorrowful movements -- Poulenc's opus was delectable. That adjective may seem inappropriate, is a reference to Mary mourning her crucified son. It's just that with this piece (prompted by the sudden death in 1949 of Poulenc's friend, fashion illustrator Christian Berard), sorrow seems such a pleasure.
Abetted by the 124-voice San Francisco Symphony Chorus, directed by Ragnar Bohlin, the opening "Stabat Mater dolorosa" was lush and jazzy. The chorus took the full measure of the composer's five-part writing; a satiny blend, weighted toward darker colors. Then the piece went skipping through its 12 brief movements.
"O quam tristis" sported an angel-sheen mingling of voices above harps, flutes and Poulenc's float-you-away melodic turns. (Even the word "afflicta" was gorgeous.) "Quae moerebat" offered more chiffon textures, cheerily -- and with a mellow Nelson Riddle ending. In "Vidit suum," soprano soloist Erin Wall sang of the dying and forsaken Jesus; her voice glowed with warm and delicate color. Her sighing words conveyed heavenly sentiment, for sure, but again with sensuous fullness.
There were a few hitches -- attacks that didn't quite line up -- but overall, this was a marvelous performance of a glorious piece. Here and there in the score, the low strings strike notes of anguish: jagged passages evoking sword thrusts at Jesus on the cross. But Poulenc can't help himself; one imagines him lingering over chord sequences, making them just a little bit more sleek and stunning. Even his flames of hell emit a toasty afterglow.
Berlioz, by contrast, is too bulked up: bring out the roast, the pullets and the rest of the oversized menu. Aiming "Te Deum" at the throngs attending the 1855 Universal Exhibition in Paris, the composer assembled some 900 singers and instrumentalists for the work's premiere. He recently had seen a 6,500-voice children's chorus in London, and was putting on a show with this work, scored for pipe organ, two mixed choruses, children's chorus, tenor soloist and very large orchestra.
"Te Deum laudamus," the opening hymn, begins with monumental chords alternating between organ and orchestra. But for all the work's concoctions -- six-part textures, raging fugues, rattling pedal tones (organist Jonathan Dimmock was excellent) and effects that evoke everything from wafting incense to tolling cathedral bells -- "Te Deum" is not one of Berlioz's prime works. Across six movements, for a good 50 minutes, he strains for impact, while missing his typical vivacity and charm.
The performers -- including the ebullient, 55-voice Pacific Boychoir, directed by Kevin Fox -- did all they could to bring it off. But "Te Deum" is like arena rock that falls flat.
With one exception. Berlioz was a master of the unexpected, and his fifth movement, out of the blue, segues into a solo for tenor voice that sounds like something ripped off from Rossini. (Actually, Berlioz ripped it off from something he himself had composed 25 years earlier.) Tenor Paul Groves was the lusty, pleading supplicant in this prayer cum aria, in which Berlioz throws off pretensions and pierces the heart.

Searching for jobs
Do you have tips for using the job search tool?
Create a narrow search or cast a wide net
- You can enter criteria in several fields to request a list of jobs that meet all of your requirements or only enter your top requirements and potentially increase your search results. Each term and filter you add will narrow down the list of results.
For best results
- Be sure to enter information into the Keyword field or other search fields before clicking any of the filters on the left. If you apply filters before entering and submitting search field criteria, the filters will be removed and the displayed list of search results will not include the filters you previously applied.
- We recommend using a targeted search: For example, if you want to work in Accounting, select "Accounting" within the Job Family filter category — or, to do a broader search, enter "account*" in the Keyword search field to capture "accountant" and "accounting" (see the "Search Tips" linked from the main Job Search page), then use filters to narrow by location if you have a geographic preference for where you work.
- You may enter search field criteria without applying any filters, or apply one or more filters without entering any search field criteria.
- Filters within a given category are not multi-select: they must be clicked individually.
- Only the top 150 results (sorted by posted date) will be displayed if your search yields more results than that, and you will receive a message advising you to further narrow your search. (Note also that before applying any search criteria, you will see an initial set of 150 jobs, randomly selected, and sorted by posted date.)
Understand the search fields
- Keywords. You can narrow your search by using keywords that match those in the job title, job description, or qualifications.
- Job Opening ID. This is an identification number assigned to each job posting. If you sign up to receive email notifications of jobs matching criteria you specify, the emails will contain Job Opening IDs for those jobs.
- Desired Pay (under More Options). Jobs are included in your search results if the amount you enter is within the job's pay range. Although jobs within the job's pay range are shown as results, the pay range will not show in text on the main Job Search page or the Job Description page.
- Telecommute Option (under More Options). Some jobs can be performed remotely or from any location. If you check the Telecommute Option checkbox, you will only see jobs for which this is an option. Definitions of this option will vary, and the absence of this designation may not rule out the possibility of working remotely. Any details regarding this option will be determined at the time of hire, and are subject to change.
Understand the filters
- Filters show a snapshot of how many jobs are available in a given category; use filters to quickly narrow the field of jobs.
- You may apply multiple filter categories to a search (e.g. State and Job Family), but within any filter category, you can only apply one option (e.g., only Indiana, only Accounting).
- Location. There are three location filter categories: State, Region, and City. You do not have to select a state or region before selecting a city; however, due to the large number of cities in which Wells Fargo has job openings, we recommend that you filter by state first and then find your city of interest. You can select a filter from each location filter category individually, or combine two or more location filter categories.
- Notes:
- Whenever you click any of the Location filters, the filter values refresh automatically to show all of the state, region, and city values that are available on those job openings in your search results. For example, if you select North Carolina as the state, you will see all of the job openings where North Carolina is a location — and you will also see state, region, and city locations outside of North Carolina if there happen to be other matching locations on the list of job openings.
- If the Location shown for a job listing is "Multiple," hiring for that job is being conducted in more than one location. See the Job Description page for details about the specific locations available on the Job Opening.
- Notes:
- Jobs Posted In. This filter lets you search jobs posted by year and month. Click the year first, then select a month (note: 01 = January, 02 = February, etc.).
- Job Family. The select list displays Wells Fargo's job categories; if no Job Family filter is applied; all job families are searched by default.
- Full/Part Time Status. This allows you to search job openings by different statuses: full-time, part-time, or flexible.
- Numbers in parentheses next to filter categories — e.g., "California (43)" — indicate how many job openings from your search results are in each filter category.
I used a common job title in the keyword search but didn't find the jobs I expected. How can I find them?
Our job titles sometimes contain abbreviations or acronyms. You may want to search again using a Job Family filter instead, such as Customer Service, or keywords that are likely to be in the job description.
How do I save a job or a job search?
To save a job or a job search, you first will need to sign on to your profile or create a profile if you have not already done so.
Saving a Job
To save a job after you are signed on, conduct a search and click the star icon at the far right of the job listing; you can also click the job title link and then click the star icon in the upper right of the Job Description page.
- The job remains in the My Favorite Jobs section (found in the navigation links at the top of most pages) until you remove it — even if you apply for it, the posting for it expires, or it is filled. If a job in your My Favorite Jobs is later filled, its status will be displayed as Filled, and if you attempt to apply for it, a message will inform you that the position is no longer available.
- To apply for a job in your My Favorite Jobs list, click the checkbox next to the job title and click Apply for Selected Job (or click the job title link and click Apply on the Job Description page). To delete jobs from your My Favorite Jobs list, click the checkbox next to the job title, click Remove Selected Jobs, then click OK.
Saving a job search (job agents)
Saving a search allows you to use your search criteria again without re-entering each search term. At the time you save a search, you can also set it up as a job agent, which will email job postings alerts to you based on your saved search criteria.
What a job agent does:
- A job agent runs your search automatically every Monday through Friday evening for a 90-day period. If the search finds any new jobs that meet your criteria, you will receive an email and a message in the My Notifications page accessible through a link at the top of most pages. The next time the agent searches for you, it checks for new jobs added since your last email (you will not receive duplicate emails). The email lists up to 20 new job titles and will tell you if more jobs were found. To retrieve the job descriptions:
- Click on the job title link in the job agent email you receive; you may also go to the Jobs tool and search for the job by entering its Job Opening ID (shown in the email); or
- Run your saved search again to retrieve the links to all the matching jobs. The link to your saved search appears in the My Saved Searches page.
To save a search or set up a job agent, start on the main Job Search page.
- Enter your criteria (including filters), then:
- Click Save Search/Job Agent; or
- If you want to complete a search first before saving the criteria, click Search. Then click Save Search/Job Agent when you are ready to save the search.
- On the Save Search page, name your search.
- To use this search as a job agent, click the Job Agent: Notify me when new jobs meet my criteria checkbox if it is not already selected. Notifications default to the email on your profile, but you can change the email address where you would like to receive the alerts. (This will not affect your contact information.)
- Click Save Search.
- You will be taken to the My Saved Searches page, with your new search listed. Each saved search has an icon to edit the search, an icon to delete it, and a button to run the search.
Return to your saved searches anytime by clicking the My Saved Searches link at the top of most pages.
To stop receiving job agent notifications, go to the My Saved Searches page and click the pencil icon under Edit. On the edit search page, clear the checkbox Notify me when new jobs meet my criteria and click Save Search/Job Agent.
To delete a saved search, go to the My Saved Searches page and click the trash icon under Delete.
To change any part of what you saved, go to the My Saved Searches page and click the pencil icon under Edit. Enter the new criteria (including a new name for your saved search, if you wish) and click Save Search/Job Agent. A new saved search will be created, and your original saved search still will be available under My Saved Searches.
If I sign up for job agent email notifications, will I receive the same job more than once?
No. You will only receive new job postings with each notification.
How can I find out the status of my application?
The application status displayed on your My Activities page (after you are signed on) is the most current information available. Team members at the Human Resources Services Center do not have access to more information than is available on this page, and they do not have information about why an applicant has been declined for a position. We cannot tell you the name of the hiring manager or put you in touch with the recruiter for the job you applied for.
What is the difference between an application and a profile?
An application is a version of your profile that is linked to a job; it is stored as a separate version of your profile. Once you submit an application, you can't change it. A profile contains the same information, without any association to a job. You can edit this.
If I include my resume with my application and/or profile, do I need to enter my work history, education, and other information in the fields?
No, it's not required, but entering your information directly into those fields is the best way to ensure that your information is searchable by recruiters (in addition to including your resume). It's particularly important to enter your information directly for two fields: Work Experience and Licenses and Certifications. Recruiters are only able to find your work experience through search when you enter that information directly in the Work Experience field. For the rest of the qualifications fields, you can opt to attach a resume or enter information in the fields, or both.
Can I apply for more than one job using a single application?
No, you'll need to apply separately to each job.
How can I tell if my application was submitted successfully?
You will receive an email informing you that it was successfully received by Wells Fargo and you can confirm this by signing on and going to the My Activities page, where you can view your status in the job opening to which you applied.
I have a Draft application, but I don't want to apply for that job anymore. How do I delete the draft application?
From the My Activities page (accessible from the navigation links at the top of the page when you are signed in), click the Withdraw button next to the draft application, then click OK in the message that pops up. You'll be returned to the My Activities page, and the job(s) you've withdrawn from will no longer be displayed. You can still apply for that job later as long as the position is still posted.
I submitted my application for a job, but no longer want that job anymore. How do I delete my application?
From the My Activities page (accessible from the navigation links at the top of the page when you are signed in), click the Withdraw button next to the application of the job you applied for, then click OK in the message that pops up to confirm your intention to withdraw. On the next pop up screen, select the reason you are withdrawing your application, and click Submit. You'll be returned to the My Activities page, and the job(s) you're no longer applying for will now have a status of "Withdrawn." To reapply to a withdrawn job, you must contact the recruiter to request your status to be changed. You cannot apply again for this position if you withdraw this application.
When is a job screening assessment required?
Wells Fargo requires job screening assessments for a small number of job types, to determine whether candidates have the appropriate skills, abilities and other characteristics important to success on the job. If you apply for a job that requires an assessment, you must follow the on-screen prompts and/or instructions provided in the assessment related e-mails. Even if you have applied to a similar job previously, it is important that you follow the directions provided for the individual job you are applying to at that time. Screening assessments are hosted by other companies on behalf of Wells Fargo.
- Specific only to a Teller or Personal Banker 1 job that requires an assessment:
- You will be taken to the Employment Screening page of the Find a Job site. Immediately after you submit your application.
- Submitting your application also triggers two emails, both sent to the address in your profile. One email confirms receipt of your application and includes a reminder to complete your screening. The other email contains your customized assessment link - use this link to initiate your screening.
- You can view your screening requirements and outcomes in the Find a Job tool on the Employment Screening page after you complete the assessment. You can view your assessment outcome anytime on the Employment Screening page, by going to the main Find a Job Search page and clicking View Screening> (Note: You will see the View Screening link only if you have applied to a Teller and/or Personal Banker 1 position in your application history.
I applied for a job and was directed to another site for a job screening assessment and was subsequently notified that I am no longer being considered. Can I reapply for the job and take the test again?
- You cannot re-apply to the same job opening.
- You can apply to different job openings, even with the same job code and title. However, an assessment outcome is valid for a specific period of time, generally six months. Any job opening that has the same assessment will utilize the existing outcome for that period of time.
- You can also apply to other jobs, either non-assessed or jobs that utilize a different assessment.
- If you applied to a Teller or Personal Banker 1 job, you can check the valid through date by clicking the View Screening in the navigation links at the top of the page when you are signed in to your profile.
During the application process, I received an onscreen notice and an email telling me that I was ineligible to apply for this position. Can I reapply to this job?
- If the job is still posted and your eligibility has changed, you can request to be reconsidered by completing and submitting the online form. Be sure to include the Job ID number and the reason you are asking for reconsideration. If you know the recruiter or hiring manager, you can also make this request directly to either of them.
After submitting my application, I received an email telling me that I was declined for a position. Can I reapply?
- No, you cannot reapply for a position if you have been declined for it. Before submitting your application for a position, be sure that you have accurately answered all of the questions in the application process.
Why do I need to register?
You can search for jobs without signing on, but you must register and sign on to:
- Apply for jobs
- Create and update a profile
- Save jobs to My Saved Jobs
- Use the Save Search feature
- Receive notifications
You may want to register and set up a profile even before starting your search so that you can make your information searchable by Wells Fargo recruiters.
Note: Our secure servers have a time limit. To avoid losing information, be sure to save your information as you work by clicking one of the two buttons below at least once every 20 minutes.
- Save for Later. Saves entries on the current page but does not go to the next page.
- Next. Saves entries on the current page and goes to the next page.
Clicking Exit clears your entries on the current page only (your entries on previous page were already saved). If you click Exit while applying, your entries on the current page will not be saved, but any previously saved pages in the application will be stored on the My Activities page and the application will display the Draft status.
If I submit my profile and a job matching my skills opens up later, can I expect to hear from
Wells Fargo?
If your profile is searchable, a recruiter can discover your profile when searching the job seeker database for matches to the job qualifications. However, recruiters use a variety of methods to fill jobs. It's best to apply for the jobs that interest you, rather than relying on recruiters to contact you. (To confirm that your profile is searchable, go to the My Account Information page and check your Profile Status at the bottom.)
If my profile is searchable, does that mean if I have a job screening assessment outcome, it is visible to anyone who views my profile?
No, your assessment outcome is only visible in association with the job to which you applied and only by recruiters and the hiring team associated with that job.
Am I required to disclose any information in the Self-Identification sections?
No, it is voluntary to share your disability status, veteran status, gender, and race/ethnicity when applying for a position. Wells Fargo is required to request this information of every job seeker as part of our regulatory obligations.
When job seekers share this information with us, it helps us assess how we are doing with our ongoing compliance and regulatory activities in addition to our diversity and inclusion efforts, which are core values at Wells Fargo.
In the Disability section, you may either select from one of the three options within the federally mandated form, or click Next to proceed. In the Veteran section, select an option or click Next if none of the categories apply to you. In the Gender/Race & Ethnicity section, select from the Gender menu, select the Race/Ethnicity that applies to you. Click Yes or No for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit questions.
Neither the hiring manager nor the recruiter for the position sees your individual responses and your responses do not affect your eligibility or consideration for the position.
Why does Wells Fargo ask job seekers for the information in the Self-Identification sections, and why does Wells Fargo ask on multiple occasions?
As part of our regulatory obligations, Wells Fargo is required by law to ask every job seeker to disclose their disability status, veteran status, gender, and race/ethnicity.
In particular, the disability form in the Self-Identification section that requests job seekers to select one of three options comes directly from the federal government. The U.S. Department of Labor, via enforcement of a variety of federal regulations, requires that all covered employers include this disability self-identification form during the pre- and post-offer stages of their application process, and for those who are hired, over the course of employment. As a result, if you apply and are hired by the company you may be asked on more than one occasion to provide this information. You are not required to share the information, but we hope you will choose to answer or validate the information, even if your answer has not changed.
Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. You also may change or deselect prior choices to this question at any time. Information you submit will be treated as confidential. Disclosure and usage will be limited to: (i) supervisors and managers who need to know if you can benefit from work accommodation(s); (ii) first aid and safety personnel when necessary; (iii) government officials auditing compliance with applicable laws; (iv) disclosure where otherwise required by law; and (v) in support of Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity regulations and Wells Fargo Diversity programs.
While you are not required to disclose that you have a disability as part of the Self Identification request process, you will be asked to disclose information about your medical limitations if you are seeking an accommodation.
Will recruiters or hiring managers be able to see my self-identification information if I choose to disclose it?
Recruiters and hiring managers do not see your name associated with any self-identification information you disclose. This information is used in the aggregate to help us assess the effectiveness of our compliance and regulatory obligations, in addition to Wells Fargo's diversity and inclusion efforts.
If you need accessibility or accommodation assistance in the job application or interview process, please contact our Accommodations Management team by telephone at 1-877-255-1606 (voice) or 1-800-988-0161 (TTY), or by submitting an online request using the Accommodations Request Form (PDF). If you are assisting a person with a disability to apply for a job, please complete the Third-Party Accommodations Request Form (PDF).
Can I change my responses in the Self-Identification sections?
Yes, as long as you have not yet submitted your application. After you click Submit, you no longer will be able to change your responses in that application. If you are offered the position, Wells Fargo is required to provide you with an opportunity to confirm or update the responses you submitted at the time of your application to the position.
In addition, you may change your self-identification responses in your job seeker Profile at any time or when applying to a new job opening. These updated responses will appear the next time you apply for an open position with Wells Fargo, and you will have the chance to confirm or update them.
Accommodations assistance
I am a job seeker with a disability. How can I request assistance in applying for a job?
If you are a person with a disability who requires assistance in applying for a job, Wells Fargo provides accessibility assistance and accommodations to help you through this process. While you are not required to disclose that you have a disability as part of the Self Identification request process, you will be asked to disclose information about your medical limitations if you are seeking an accommodation.
To request assistance, please contact our Accommodations Management team by telephone at 1-877-255-1606 (voice) or 1-800-988-0161 (TTY), or by submitting an online request using the Accommodations Request Form (PDF).

So that we may appropriately assist you with your request, be sure to specify the assistance needed in order to access our Careers site and apply for open positions.
Note: Accessibility or accommodations assistance is reserved for job seekers with disabilities or persons assisting them. Requests that do not involve assisting an individual with a disability, such as solely to follow up on a job application or assistance with non-disability related technical issues, will not receive a response.
I am a job seeker with a disability and have been selected to move forward in the interview process. How can I request assistance in the interview process?
You can inform the Wells Fargo representative contacting you of your specific needs. Or if you prefer, you can contact the Accommodations Management team for assistance by telephone at 1-877-255-1606 (voice) or 1-800-988-0161 (TTY), or by submitting an online request using the Accommodations Request Form (PDF).

Technical issues
The system timed out while I was applying. Did I lose all my work?
If you don't see the application listed on the My Activities page, you'll have to select the job again and click Apply. To avoid system timeouts, click any activity button (a spinning clock will display) at least once every 20 minutes.
How do I change my password or account information?
Sign on using your original username and password. Click My Account Information at the top of the page. From there you can click Change Password or scroll down to change your email address.

Teen Health
Teens Safer Behind Wheel, but Too Many Texting
June 7, 2012 -- Teens have become safer drivers over the past 20 years, though now they have new distractions that put them at high risk on the road: their iPhones and other tech devices.
That's one of the major conclusions of the CDC's 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which was released today. The report lists many types of risky behaviors teens engage in, but this was the first time the federal health agency has collected statistics on the hazards of texting and emailing while behind the wheel.
Technology presents new risks, the CDC's Howell Wechsler, EdD, MPH, told reporters during a news conference. An estimated 1 in 3 teens reported texting or emailing while driving.
"Concern about the risks had been widespread, and this data confirms it," Wechsler said. "Texting is particularly dangerous."
This news comes a day after a Massachusetts 18-year-old was sentenced to one year in prison for causing a deadly accident while texting and driving, showing both the risk and the consequence of the behavior.
On the encouraging side though, the vast majority of students now wear seat belts, and the number of teens who report either driving drunk or riding with a drunk driver has dropped dramatically. That has contributed to a 44% reduction in car-related teen deaths over the past decade, says Wechsler.
However, car crashes still kill more teens each year than any other cause. According to the report, 1 in 3 teen deaths occurs on the road.
Distraction is a key contributor to these deaths, and, says Wechsler, drivers under 20 are at increased risk.
"They have the highest proportion of distraction-related crashes."
Driving is not the only activity where new tech puts kids at risk. Wechsler says that 1 in 6 teens reports being bullied via text and email, in chatrooms, and through other electronic media at some point in the 12 months before taking the survey. Girls were bullied more than twice as often as boys.

Arlington CVB unveils new brand and logo
The Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau just unveiled a new look and brand that drops the CVB part of the name.
The 40-year-old non-profit is going with a New Age name "Experience Arlington" to continue to promote the city as a leisure, business and convention destination.
A new logo, designed by the bureau's marketing director Ryan Callison, features images of the Cowboys Stadium, Rangers Ballpark and Six Flags Over Texas in a retro design. There's also a new website and new mobile site.
It's all part of a strategy to broaden Arlington's marketing reach.
"Tourism and CVBs are evolving," Experience Arlington president Jay Burress said in a statement. "We want to make sure we're evolving with them. Tourism is about the experience."

LOS GATOS -- Carrying signs demanding "No Guns in Los Gatos" and "Protect Our Children," about 30 people picketed a new Los Gatos sporting goods store that sells firearms Saturday, the day it was supposed to open.
Former Los Gatos Mayor Sandy Decker said it appeared that Templar Sports opened briefly, but then closed in the face of the protest. No one answered the phone at the new store on University Avenue, which also offers fishing equipment.
The protest took place eight days after the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Twenty children and seven adults died.
"The timing of it is so poor after Newtown," said Shannon Susick, a real estate appraiser who helped organize the protest. "Kids walk right by the store on their way to school. It's a safety concern."
City officials have said their hands were tied over allowing the store because the area is zoned for light industrial, including retail. However, Decker said there should have been public notification.
"Whether we could have stopped it or not, they could have had a dialogue about it," she said.

While instructors at LCI may utilize a variety of different approaches to teaching, the communicative approach with content-based syllabi still dominates our philosophy. The communicative approach is based on the idea that people learn languages primarily because they want to communicate with others. As such, we seek to increase our students' ability to produce English that is adequate for academic situations.

BUCKHANNON - A Buckhannon man who was arrested last week on drug trafficking charges will be placed on home confinement if he makes bond, Upshur County Circuit Court Judge Kurt Hall ruled Thursday.
Hall granted, in part, a defense motion to modify bond in the case of Ryan Keith Gillum, 36, who was arrested Oct. 17 on three felony counts of delivery of marijuana, a controlled substance. The arrest came after after deputies with the Upshur County Sheriff's Department allegedly seized 8 pounds of marijuana, $4,000, six firearms, three cellphones and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia from Gillum over a period of several months, Upshur County Sheriff David Coffman said at a press conference last week.
During Thursday's bond reduction hearing in Upshur County Circuit Court, Hall changed Gillum's bond from $75,000 cash-only and $75,000 corporate surety to $5,000 cash-only and $75,000 cash, property or surety.
His new bond totals $80,000, reduced by $70,000 from his original $150,000 bond.
Gillum is to immediately be placed on home confinement if he makes bond and will be required to undergo random drug and alcohol screenings through the Lewis-Upshur-Braxton Community Corrections program. Hall said Gillum must adhere to standard bond terms and conditions by refraining from drinking alcohol or ingesting any illegal drugs. Hall also said Gillum "is not to call or harass" any of the prosecution's potential witnesses, including family members.
Gillum appeared with his attorney, James Hawkins, for the 3 p.m. hearing after Lewis County Magistrate Roger Clem denied a motion to modify bond earlier in the afternoon in Upshur County Magistrate Court.
"Our position is this bond ($75,000 cash-only and $75,000 corporate surety) is excessive, is oppressive and merely serves as no bail," Hawkins told Hall. "Unless it's a capital offense, (state code) requires reasonable bail to be set pretrial."
Hawkins argued Gillum - who breeds dogs and owns rental units he is in the midst of refurbishing - has "significant roots to this community."
"He has no prior felony convictions, absolutely none," Hawkins said, "and no prior drug convictions. In full disclosure to the court, he has a conviction of battery and domestic
Hawkins said one of those convictions occurred at least a decade ago.
"This is not the type of case that cries out for such a bail, and I challenge anyone to present evidence showing he poses a risk to the community," he added.
Hawkins asked the judge to modify bond to $15,000 cash, property or surety.
Upshur County Prosecuting Attorney Jake Reger countered that Gillum's case was "not an ordinary type of delivery case." He said confidential informants working with the sheriff's department had managed to purchase 5 pounds of marijuana from Gillum "with thousands of dollars involved" during three alleged transactions in October.
"There are also (federal) allegations of Mr. Gillum being involved in receiving a shipment of 100 pounds of marijuana," Reger said. "I do have a concern for the safety of the community. I am concerned about there being retribution as it relates to government witnesses cooperating with the
Hall said he agreed with Hawkins "in principle."
"For a magistrate to set a $75,000 cash-only bond is a denial of bond," Hall said. "I don't see how anyone could in good conscience rule any other way."
But Hall also rejected Hawkins' suggestion of a $15,000 cash-property-surety bond, calling it "wholly insufficient."
"I'm going to craft a new bond, and $5,000 of it will be cash-only and $75,00 will be cash, corporate surety and the surety can also be property," Hall said.
Hawkins requested that Gillum be permitted to leave home for work purposes - specifically to maintain rental units he owns - but the judge denied the request.
"I think he can find somebody to manage those properties for him," the judge said.
As of presstime, Gillum remained incarcerated in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Alumni, students and advocates of the University of South Carolina and its eight regional campuses are heading to the Statehouse to advocate on behalf of public higher education.
The Carolina Alumni Association is hosting the 10th annual Carolina Day at the Statehouse on Wednesday.
Association president Jack Claypoole says alumni have volunteered to meet with lawmakers to discuss legislation that might affect the state's colleges and universities.
Students and faculty are also hosting a display in the Statehouse to highlight university research and how its outreach programs affect communities across the state.
University President Harris Pastides is slated to address the group at a lunch at the Capital City Club following the Statehouse meetings.

Dogs need their rest too. If they spend too much time sleeping on the floor, or other head surfaces, the dog can develop callouses or sores. A luxury dog bed is designed with your dog's needs in mind, and provides the support needed while the dog sleeps or rests. An orthopedic luxury dog beds are also designed to specifically support older dogs with arthritic problems.
Think of purchasing a designer dog bed as if it is an investment. You are going to be living with your dog for many years, so you should purchase a bed that is going to stand the test of time. Cheap average generic pet store dog beds are not made of high quality materials and are not as long lasting as a designer dog bed. Cheap dog beds are not going to comfort the dog nearly as much and they will wear out in a fraction of the time; they will need to be replaced several times over before your luxury dog bed wears out.
Luxury dog beds are not only a great solution to keep your dog well rested, they are also more aesthetically pleasing than the average generic dog bed. Choosing a dog bed should be like choosing another piece of furniture for your home. With a designer dog bed, you can choose a bed made from fine materials that will match the décor of your home effortlessly. Designer dog beds provide a wide variety of choices, or you could choose one that is personalized for you or your dog's preferences.
A designer dog bed is going to be a valuable long lasting addition to your home. Your dog will be pampered and find comfort in their special luxury dog bed, making them feel secure and loved. If they have a special bed to go to, they will be less likely to climb onto your furniture, and your furniture will see less pet fur and wear and tear, ultimately lasting longer. A designer dog bed is a smart purchase for your dog as well as for yourself.

hey, whats everyones motivation when all the haters tell you your not good enough, your not big enough, your not fast enough, etc.
My motivation would just be to prove them all wrong
i used hear a lot of it when i was 8.i kept on practicing trying to get better everyday.my motivation is to be better than nba legends and when people say i cant do something i try to prove them wrong.just play your game dont matter what people say.keep on practicing and prove everybody wrong.
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy
Well, with me, my school has a lot of point guards. And they think they're great but they're not. Honestly, if they gave me more of a chance, I'd be in the top 3 or so. I realized this last night. see my dad was always telling me I'm as good as anyone out there but I just couldn't believe him. But last night i played a game with my 2 bros against a couple other kids. I was just like d rose. so my motivation is proving all of those people who say i'm not good enough and the ones that say I suck, just to prove it to them one day.
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."-Michael Jordan
yea, i hear ya'll its just hard too stay positive when everyone wants you too fail you know?
let ur playing do the talking. if u say something to them or behind their back it gives u more pressure to go and back up what u said. the extra pressure generally makes u do worse
My motivation is when the people closest to me like my parents, friends and relatives tell me I wont make it. That makes me work even harder to prove them wrong
yeah man. I hate it when people are trying to see you have to go to reality. even when it's possible.

yea, personally for me when people tell me that my dream isnt realistic that doesnt bother me because basketball players usually dont think like that, or else they wouldnt be trying too make the nba in the first place
I love when people downgrade me, or don't think I'm up to par. It makes me want to work harder, which I do. It's even better when they say you can't shoot, and you work on it, and hit several threes on them and have them coming up to you after the game asking how you got so much better & how can they do that. lol, I laugh at those people haha
Proving them wrong and making it to the NBA is my motivation. Remember that haters say your bad because they know your better than them.
be optimistic enough . just ignore them. my motivation is to beat my friends who are better than me and to surpass my NBA idols
haters just set themselves up for a big upset - u can't exceed a target if nothing was identified. but haters give you a target, a target to beat. so go get them!
I love critisism it makes me feel good. Critisism makes me feel like the greatest player in the game. When i get critisized i just laugh and play like it is th last game of the season,like when i play my life is on line.

What will you put up with for a good storyline?
Posted on 28th Jan 2010 at 11:57 by Mark Mackay with 33 comments
After finishing my new gaming rig recently, I installed a few games that I've been meaning to get through. Mass Effect and Fallout 3 were amongst those titles. I'd dabbled in both before but found that the slow pace and masses of dialogue weren't really what I was looking for at that time. This is a pair of games that focus heavily on storyline. However, I always had the nagging feeling that I was missing out on some great games and so, with my new rig purring away, wanted to give them another shot.

Tech Tip 11
Capacitor Switching Can Trip Ground Fault Interrupters
- Nuisance ground fault interrupter trips (may occur at regular intervals)
- GFI monitors neutral-to-ground bond
- GFI set with no time delay
- Nearby switched, grounded-wye capacitor
- Capacitor switching transient causes current surge in customer neutral-to-ground bond
- Coordinate GFI with transient current
- Use GFI that monitors phase and neutral conductors for ground faults
An industrial customer called his local utility representative to report nuisance trips of his ground fault interrupter (GFI) on his main panel. The customer initially had his GFI set for trip at 200 amps with no time delay. To reduce the nuisance trips, the customer had decreased the GFI sensitivity to 400 amp trip with 18 cycle (0.3 second) delay. He had no GFI trips at this level but requested assistance in locating the cause for earlier nuisance shutdowns.
GFIs are used at the main panel of many industrial and commercial systems to protect against ground faults. They should not be confused with ground fault circuit interrupters which are often used on 120 volt circuits.
GFIs usually protect for ground faults using one of two methods. One method is to monitor all three phase conductors and neutral to detect ground fault current. Another is to monitor the neutral-to-ground bond for ground current surges at the customer main panel. Monitoring the neutral-to-ground bond can make the GFI susceptible to neutral current surges.
Since this customer has a GFI that watches current in the neutral-to-ground bond, a disturbance analyzer was used to monitor the bond. Steady-state current in the neutral-to-ground bond was low. However, the disturbance analyzer recorded a 5 millisecond (1/3 cycle) current surge when switching a nearby 12.47 kV capacitor bank. Figure 1 shows the current in the neutral-to-ground bond as each phase of the capacitor energized.
Figure 1: Current Surge in Neutral-Ground Bond
Consider Figure 2, a simplified model of the system. Random closing of the capacitor switches causes a transient current imbalance and surge in neutral current. Some of the surge current will flow through the service transformer and the customer main GFI.
Figure 2: Surge Current Path Thru GFI
Adding at least three cycles time delay should be sufficient to eliminate nuisance trips on GFIs that monitor current in the neutral-to-ground bond. In this case, moving the GFI setting back to 200 amp trip and 6 cycles delay (the next shortest delay) improved ground fault sensitivity without suffering nuisance trips.

This was The Beatles' 10th performance at St John's Hall on Snaefell Avenue in Tuebrook, Liverpool.
Mona Best, mother of Pete and owner of the Casbah Coffee Club, also ran some nights at St John's Hall. The venue shouldn't be confused with a hall in Bootle of the same name where The Beatles also performed.
The Beatles played at Liverpool's St John's Hall on 11 occasions. The other dates were 17 February; 10 March; 13, 20 and 27 July; 3, 10, 17 and 24 August; and 8 September 1961.
