Junk King joined the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce about two years ago when I first opened this business. Since then my membership has been wildly successful for me, and particularly successful for me has been the leads groups. Recently I performed the largest Junk Removal in Junk King history - a contract I was referred to through a Bethlehem Chamber leads group. I also rely on the professionals I have met through the chamber as my vendors and subcontractors for my business. The Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce is well worth my time and energy.

Doing business with people you know is better than with strangers. Since I became involved with the Chamber, I feel like I have a group of colleagues I can network with and talk to about business. Before that, I used to think of myself as an employee, but with the help of the Chamber I truly became a business owner. I realized how important it is to take the time to get away from my business to join in on Chamber events, and it has been time well spent.
Dennis O'Shaughnessy, Sr.

The Bethlehem Chamber has been a major source of networking for my business. Any dues paid have been returned many times over in the activities, support and events with which I've been involved as a member.
John Russum

My relationship with the Chamber has been invaluable to me in a very short time. I am a member of two networking groups where many relationships have been built. I value the opportunity to hear from and brainstorm with a varied group of business people who are gifted in different areas. All of this has helped me to see things differently, think more creatively, and utilize better business tools and strategies. Many thanks!"

I truly value my membership with the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce. It has presented many opportunities for me within the town and with other businesses. The networking opportunities are fabulous. I take advantage of the breakfast meetings and always leave with valuable information that I did not know before. I enjoy the annual golf outing and look forward to the annual dinner. The Bethlehem chamber hosts mixer events but also joins forces with other chambers broadening the networking opportunities and venues. I am also involved in one of the many leads groups. The Bethlehem Chamber encourages members to submit information for the monthly newsletter. They put great effort to promote the Chamber and its members and to be visible in the community. The Bethlehem Chamber is the only chamber I belong to and I am a proud and satisfied member. "
Heather Tangora
VP Tangora Technologies, Inc.
Any viable business community needs a strong network of people working together. The Bethlehem Chamber is the organization in town that allows us to share contacts and help each other out with leads, and offer each other help and advice individually in order to advance the community as a whole.
John Guastella
Our Towne Bethlehem
Since my Chamber Breakfast presentation on Social Media for the Local Business, I've received four leads. At least one of the leads could multiply if other people in their real estate office are interested in my services too. Even if only one of these leads turns into a paying client, it will cover my annual Chamber membership. If none of them turn into clients, I still benefit knowing four new business people in our community.
Leslie Trosset
Berkshire Bank –Delmar is very committed to help grow our small business and personal relationships in our Bethlehem community. I thank the Chamber for welcoming me to the area and helping support my branch. The networking groups are a wonderful way to meet other members and help grow your business!
Erica Hebler
Branch Officer
Berkshire Bank - Delmar Branch
We have a been a member of the Bethlehem chamber since 1999. Being a small business, we initially joined for the health insurance benefits. We then began to attend leads groups, mixers and other chamber events, which are all included with the low annual dues. Most of our referrals come from local businesses and local residents. Therefore, we would like to thank the chamber for being so instrumental in helping to grow and sustain our self-storage business.
Garo Derian, Glenmont Self Storage
As a new member, the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce has far exceeded my expectations. I have attended two Leads lunches and participated in both the Tuesday and Saturday Farmers Markets. We have had our activities highlighted in your weekly newsletter, and shared to the Chamber Facebook page. As a new organization, this kind of exposure is exactly what we need. Chamber membership has been a very positive experience and I greatly look forward to our continuing participation.

As the owner of a recently formed local business, one of the most beneficial choices I made was to join the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce.I was encouraged to attend the Leads Groups which has not only allowed me to meet many other motivated local business representatives, but has accomplished its goal of bringing business my way from the very first meeting!Terri Fish

If ever we needed confirmation that we have entered a strange, unpleasant era of hyper-irrationality, it comes in the form of peanut allergies. That at least is the inescapable conclusion from reading "This allergy is just nuts," by Nicholas A. Christakis, professor of medical sociology, Harvard Medical School, in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal.
The article was written in response to the increasingly nutty behavior by schools and parents over the threat from peanuts, which included the evacuation of a school bus full of 10-year olds after a single peanut was spotted on the floor, and the decision by the municipal school where Dr. Christakis' children attend to mandate collecting wrapped candy gifts, some of which contained sealed tins of nuts, from the loading dock rather than the classroom to prevent endangering the children.
Add to this the general banning of nuts and foods associated with nuts in schools and we have, according to Dr. Christakis, a case of "epidemic hysteria." The numbers, of course, tell a different story, he says:
"About 3.3 million Americans are allergic to nuts, and even more – 6.9 million – are allergic to seafood. However, all told, serious allergic reactions to foods cause just 2,000 hospitalisations a year (out of more than 30 million hospitalisations nationwide). And only 150 people (children and adults) die each year from all food allergies combined."
That's roughly in the ballpark of the number of people who die from lightning strikes (about 100) each year. Maybe we should build a really big umbrella or stay indoors for the entire spring and summer…

The NCAA has upheld penalties against the Saint Mary's College basketball program for recruiting violations, it was announced Monday.
Coach Randy Bennett will serve a five-game suspension at the start of West Coast Conference play and can't recruit off campus this season after the NCAA infractions appeals committee denied his appeal. Bennett claimed a procedural error was involved. An appeal by Saint Mary's on a two-year reduction of scholarships beginning in 2014-2015 also was denied.
"I'm disappointed with the decision by the NCAA Infractions Committee on my appeal of the penalties," Bennett said in a statement. "But it's time to move on and focus on success in our program. I'm proud of what we've achieved, and I think there is more we can do."
The findings of an NCAA investigation into the program were released in March, and Saint Mary's was hit with four years of probation for "a failure to monitor and a failure to promote an atmosphere for compliance" in its men's basketball program.
Bennett's five-game suspension includes the Gaels' Jan. 2 game against defending champion Gonzaga in Spokane as well as games at Pacific and Portland and at home against Santa Clara and nonconference opponent William Jessup.
During his suspension, a period of time that spans nearly two weeks, Bennett is banned from all Saint Mary's basketball-related activities, including practice. One of the Gaels' assistant coaches -- Adam Caporn, Marty Clarke or Eran Ganot -- will serve as acting head coach during Bennett's suspension.
Saint Mary's also faces a ban on preseason and in-season tournaments that the team is not already contractually obligated to attend, though the team is permitted to compete in the WCC and NCAA tournaments.
Staff writer Jeff Faraudo and wire services contributed to this report.

From Our Blog
By: Krystal Cabrera Reblog | Reading Partners
I have just begun my second year of service with Reading Partners. During my first year, I served in my home town as an AmeriCorps site coordinator at Hyde Leadership Charter School in the South Bronx. My role was to ensure that Reading Partners volunteers received continuous training and support in order to achieve educational success through literacy.
In the 2016-17 school year, Reading Partners will welcome over 360 AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA members to continue this work. ReadingPartners has been awarded more than $4.5 million in AmeriCorps funds across 14 cities in the US. These essential funds allow us to have more people serving in our communities than ever before—which translates to more students gaining the literacy skills they need to be successful. Since 2010, over 600 Reading Partners AmeriCorps members have supported 10,000 students with tutoring, coordinated 208 Reading Centers, and engaged with 13,000 community volunteers to improve student literacy rates.
In my second year of service I will serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA focusing on building a pipeline of partners for diversity recruitment. AmeriCorps VISTAs (Volunteers In Service To America) provide capacity building projects to nonprofit organizations. I want more people, like me, to serve in the communities they are from and make a difference to the students they once were. I will also have an opportunity to develop a Reading Partners AmeriCorps and VISTA alumni platform that will allow former members to engage with the organization after their service year (or two!) is complete.

Record-setting floodwaters have receded but the disaster continues for tens of thousands of southern Louisiana residents whose homes were inundated earlier this month. And, the corresponding need for help is overwhelming, according to federal officials and young volunteers from Central Washington who arrived this week to help out.
"The first thing I always see is front lawn covered with garbage and debris. You can actually see the water lines around the houses and know how deep it got," said 20-year-old Yakima resident Samuel Sanchez. "When you get inside, it's either (cleaned out) or there is lots of mold everywhere."
Sanchez, a Davis High School grad, has been going door-to-door asking homeowners if they need help.
"People are so glad to see us," he said, adding that while most people he has met are living with relatives whose homes were not impacted, others are stuck with no place to go but their damp, damaged homes.
His conversations are the first step toward enabling an army of young people — estimated at more than 500 from various AmeriCorps programs around the country — to help residents get back on their feet.
Leaders from the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), the natural resource and disaster response focused branch of AmeriCorps in the state, were the first to arrive last weekend to organize program efforts.
The WCC has a long history of responding to disasters including wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, and floods. This year alone, 61 WCC members responded to flooding in St. Louis this winter and two crews spent July in West Virgina running logistics to help local and visiting volunteers address devastating flooding that killed 24 people.

Over the last two weeks, all of us have watched the devastation caused by floods in Louisiana.

Wendy Rappels for Opioid Awareness
Last month, our CEO, Wendy Spencer, participated in an event with Shatterproof to bring awareness of the struggle individuals face in combating drug addiction. Her participation put a spotlight on national service programs that are helping communities and individuals address the growing problem. This week, Wendy will go to Kentucky, where AmeriCorps members serving through Operation UNITE are teaching drug prevention to thousands of Kentucky youth every year.
Operation UNITE Service Corps AmeriCorps members tutor at-risk students in math and teach students, parents, guardians, and school staff about drug awareness and prevention. AmeriCorps members are active in their local anti-drug coalitions, are liaisons between the community and school, and raise funds for UNITE Clubs, trainings, and school assemblies.
They partner with local organizations and faith-based groups to bring resources to schools. In the past year, members mentored 4,055 students. They tutored 1,935 students in math; 80 percent improved, with an average growth of 42 percent. Of the 2,463 students they engaged in "Too Good for Drugs," 86 percent had an average 30 percent increase in knowledge. Members recruited 2,538 volunteers who served 22,500 hours. Nineteen members are also trained and ready for deployment in the event of a disaster.
Thank you to Shatterproof for inviting our CEO to participate and increasing awareness of this important cause.

More than 150 years ago, American author and humorist Mark Twain wrote, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Sadly, some things never change.
Recently, a few bloggers took exception to the performance and salary of Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch. They wrote that his job entailed little more than "a hectic life of ribbon cuttings, fundraisers and lobbying meetings on Capitol Hill." Nothing could be further from the truth. As leaders on SEIA's board of directors, we felt it was important to correct the record.
Under Rhone's leadership, SEIA has helped our industry achieve an impressive list of policy successes, allowing solar to become one of the fastest-growing industries in America, as well as the fastest-growing source of renewable energy. Here are just a few of these major milestones:
- Created the 30% solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for both residential and commercial solar installations, later getting it extended twice by Congress
- Eliminated the $2,000 cap on residential solar power systems eligible to take the ITC
- Exempted the ITC from the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
- Created 17 separate programs in the American Recovery and Reinvestment ACT (ARRA), including the 1603 Treasury Grant Program and the solar Loan Guarantee Program
- Merged SEIA with the Solar Alliance, greatly expanding the industry's advocacy at the state level, resulting in:
- Expanded net energy metering (NEM) caps in multiple states
- Expanded and protected state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs across the U.S.
- Removed barriers to solar in many areas of the country, including reduced permitting costs and standardized interconnection
- Worked to expand FERC's fast track interconnection process
- Worked with both Republican and Democratic administrations to support solar through Department of Interior and Department of Energy programs
Here are some other facts conveniently missing from the attacks on Rhone. Since the ITC was first enacted in 2006, the number of American jobs in the solar industry has grown from fewer than 20,000 to 143,000 today. Cumulative installed solar in the U.S. has soared by nearly 20 times – from 694 MW to more than 13,000 MW. And nearly $50 billion has been invested nationwide to install solar.
SEIA's board-level compensation committee determines CEO pay through a review process that involves rigorous benchmarking of the CEO's compensation to the pay of CEOs of similar-sized organizations with similar missions. Compared to the CEOs of trade associations representing traditional energy industries, SEIA's CEO compensation is low. The compensation committee's recommendation is reviewed by the executive committee before being approved. In keeping with industry practices, the CEO's bonus is tied to performance against specific goals.
Rhone's 10-year leadership to the U.S. solar industry has been invaluable – and it's more important than ever as we head toward the ITC's 2016 expiration date. From our perspective, Rhone is an innovative, forward-looking leader with an outstanding record of achievement and is deeply committed to our industry's continued success. Rest assured, he is not compensated for ribbon cuttings and mundane meetings. He's compensated for getting results and growing solar nationwide.

Peabody Hall
Western Female Seminary Principal Helen Peabody, an outspoken opponent of coeducation, was especially protective of her students and always suspicious of the Miami men who occasionally, and not always innocently, wandered onto Western property. Ms. Peabody took her convictions to the grave, and it is not hard to imagine how she would have reacted to the sight of Miami men freely roaming the corridors of the Hall that now bears her name.
In fact, it appears that Ms. Peabody may have done far more than merely turn over in her grave. According to some witnesses, her spirit leaves the tomb occasionally to watch over the women of Peabody Hall and to haunt the men who now dare to walk its corridors. Those who have seen her claim that Helen Peabody remains in death, as she was in life, a very formidable woman.

Plants vs Zombies 2: Its About Time Review
When Plants vs Zombies first appeared in 2009, it became an instant hit. Winning over 30 awards, this zombie title bowled fans over. Yet I never really got as hooked as some of my friends. Don't get me wrong though, I loved the gameplay and it was great for a quick burst of gaming. Now in 2013 iOS owners are able to continue the fight as Plants vs Zombies 2: Its About Time has finally arrived. Time to plant some plants and destroy some Zombies, but will I get hooked the second time around?
Plants vs Zombies 2 follows the same format as the first – protect your lawn and home from the undead by planting flowers strategically to dismember the zombie hordes. Collecting the generated sun, converting it into currency to buy more plants – it was a simple yet addictive formula in the first game. It's all back, but with an added twist.
Dave the crazy neighbour's back, complete with his wacky humour. After you play through the tutorial, Dave enlightens you to his love for a taco! Unfortunately he's lost it, so thanks to the help of anime travelling camper van you're soon whisked back in time, ready to fight the undead hordes in various time periods. Your modern lawns are soon replaced with stone slabs from a pharaoh's tomb, pirate ship decking and the wild wild west.
Unique undead storm the different time periods; a walking sarcophagus with a mummified creature laying dormant inside, a pirate being carried aloft by a seagull and a pharaoh zombie that likes to nick the sun are to name but a few! These and more are ready to storm your lawns, with one thing on their minds – lunch with brains on the menu!
During the levels you'll also earn coins and ore treasures. Coins can be spent on using special powers, such as frying the hordes of undead with a streak of lightening! Use these powers cautiously though; they use a lot of your coins… I got a little carried away and went through over a thousand coins in just one level. This brings us nicely onto the free-to-play model the game incorporates. You can buy coins as in-app purchases as well as other goodies, including entry to the next level. To pass through time from Egypt to the wild west you can pay, or earn fifteen stars for the levels to unlock free of charge. How you progress is entirely up to you.
The game looks and feels like the original, yet there's something a little different. The animations and characters have that quirky feel i found the original to have, with a rather simple yet appealing charm. I can't quite put my finger on it… yet I soon found myself addicted. I've been travelling through the different time periods, taking on the different zombie hordes – unlocking more plants to plant. I soon realised that even in bed I couldn't put the damn game down.
Plants vs Zombies 2 brings back everything great about the original, yet with the addition of time travel and the variety of new levels makes things feel fresh and friendly, like seeing an old friend for the first time in years. Making it free-to-play was a stoke of genius as well, giving players an option of how to complete the game. With a great challenge and a huge amount of levels – this will keep you playing for months to come. It's a great game, which for free is a great addition to anyone's library.
- Time zones make it fresh
- Great animations
- In-app purchases can be steep

How our food gets to the table Mar 11 2013
This is a clip from Samsara, a 2011 film directed by Ron Fricke, who was the director of photography for Koyaanisqatsi. The chicken picker machine hoovering up chickens and depositing them into drawers is one of the most dystopian things I've ever seen.
The whole film doesn't look this depressing, but this short clip really gives full visual meaning to the mass production of food. (via @colossal)

The University of Maryland's Robert Smith School of Business has appointed Alexander Triantis as dean from September 1. Prof Triantis has been with the school for 17 years and will succeed Anand Anandalingam, who recently joined Imperial College Business School in London as dean.
In his new role, Professor Triantis will aim to build on the school's student experience, alumni engagement and connections with the corporate world. As chair of the department of finance from 2006-11, he launched the masters in finance programme at Smith and established the school's centre for financial policy, which connects faculty with Washington policy makers and is one of 10 specialist centres at the school.
"Our faculty do well on the research side of things but the question is how do we get that out to our community, especially the government community we have in our backyard," says Prof Triantis.
The new dean is also conscious of the impact of technology on business schools and is looking forward to restructuring programmes to embrace this, starting with an online MBA programme in January 2014. "We are at a point where there are some really exciting changes in business education due to technology," he says.
Prof Triantis's research analyses corporate financial strategies related to investment, financing and risk management.
Before joining Smith, Prof Triantis was an assistant and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin and a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management. He has also consulted and provided executive training for clients including Airbus Industrie, Ernst & Young, Morgan Stanley and the World Bank.
The Smith school is one of 12 colleges and schools at the University of Maryland. It teaches undergraduate, full-time and part-time MBAs, an executive MBA, and executive education programmes. It is ranked 50th in the FT Global MBA 2013 ranking.

China May Boost Hollywood Summer Sales
Films set to suck in audiences this summer in China include DreamWorks' animated "Madagascar 3," which opened in China over the weekend and Relativity Media's "Mirror Mirror," a remake of fairy tale "Snow White," featuring actress Julia Roberts.
Hollywood is looking for brighter days after several big-budget films, such as Warner Brothers' "Dark Shadows" and Disney's "John Carter," have fallen out with U.S. audiences, and China offers it a glimmer of hope.
Chinese movie-goers have already jolted sales for Marvel's "The Avengers," which came out in May and had hauled in more than $84 million out of roughly $800 million internationally, according to Box Office Mojo, an online box office reporting service. Despite having roughly three minutes of footage sliced out by the country's film censors, "Men in Black 3" from Sony/Columbia was also a hit, garnering nearly $22 million in its opening weekend in China versus $54.5 million in the U.S., says Box Office Mojo.
"Hollywood has shown increasing reliance on Chinese audiences because of the quick expansion of screens and the incredible market, and this will only grow in the summer blockbuster season," says Michael Berry, a Chinese film expert and professor of Chinese cultural studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Just last month, Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group Corp. agreed to acquire AMC Entertainment Holdings, the second-largest theater chain in the U.S. and Canada, in a deal valued around $2.6 billion.
But while China's booming movie market may boost the U.S. industry, its success could negatively affect the domestic market, Mr. Cain said.

I am searching for a company case study where cluster analysis and other multivariate analysis was used for business decision making. Any ideas?
Brian Greene
» Post to this Topic
Monday September 15, 2008 by David J. Mangen
This is a reply to: Multivariate Company Case
Are you looking for some published case studies to use in course work assignments? Your request is not terribly clear.
I can assure you that multivariate analysis techniques have been used a multitude of times to drive business decision making, and that the success of that effort is tied not only to the quality of the analysis but also the quality of the research design, and the quality of the strategic implementation post-research. These three components are of approximately equal importance, in my opinion.
I do this sort of work quite often for my clients, but I can say very little because my clients expect (rightfully so, I might add) that I respect the confidentiality of the information that I generate for them.

2005 Tintara Shiraz
(Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale)
In Redondo Beach LA for meetings and ate at Baleen in the Portofino hotel. Great meal and had the Tinara Shiraz in a flight of 4. This one was clearly the best with the Kobe steak. Love the chocolate nose with loads of espresso and burnt log. Great nose on this wine and very intriguing. The palate starts with lots of chocolate and spices, very nice. I like this wine a lot because it has some nice characteristics. Very soft wine for a shiraz and the tannins are on the softer side as well as allowing the flavors to come through. I highly suggest this wine. Great for the money at about 20 bucks a bottle. Give it a try.

Kuwait's Rapid Growth Could Make It A Money-Laundering Risk
Rapid growth in Kuwait's banking sector could make the country attractive to money launderers and terrorism financiers, the International Monetary Fund said Monday in a report.
The report, which was conducted during an on-site visit in late-October 2010, came at Kuwait's request, the state-run Kuwait News Agency reported Tuesday. It said that the country's anti-money laundering law introduced in 2002 contains many shortcomings that could pose a threat in the future.
"Although there is currently no evidence of significant [money-laundering in the country, Kuwait's financial sector is growing rapidly in terms of banking sector assets. This development has the potential of creating a suitable environment for money launderers and terrorist financers to exploit," the report said.
Among the law's shortcomings, according to the IMF report, is that it doesn't cover all "predicate offenses," nor does it cover terrorism financing. Further, the Kuwaiti financial intelligence unit only gets its power to analyze suspicious transaction reports regarding potential money laundering or terrorist financing from the central bank, an inadequate level of independence, the report said.
The report was done under the rubric of the Financial Action Task Force, an international group that guides countries to adopt legal frameworks to follow its 49 recommendations on preventing money laundering and terrorism financing.
Kuwait's anti-money laundering law also doesn't have a mechanism in place to implement United Nations Security Council Resolutions, the report said.
The IMF report said Kuwait doesn't have anything in place regarding politically-exposed people using financial institutions. Further, the regime in place to prevent the use of shell banks fails to meet the standards of the FATF, the report said.
The report comes weeks after a scandal erupted in the parliament over the bank accounts of members that led to a call for an emergency session. Kuwait posted a ranking of 53rd out of 178 countries in the latest edition of the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index.
Read the executive summary, and the full report, below:

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Arctic Cat announced today the Wildcat 1000 X, a new model in its lineup of "pure sport" side-by-sides. The OEM will begin shipping to dealers in March with an MSRP of $18,499.
The model features a claimed 90-plus horsepower as well as new drive and handling technologies.
"The Wildcat 1000 X reflects our strategy to enter new growth segments," said Claude Jordan, chairman and chief executive officer of Arctic Cat. "With its 90-plus horsepower, industry-leading 18 inches of rear travel suspension and 13 inches of ground clearance, the Wildcat X offers even greater acceleration and maneuverability to those seeking the best balance of power, suspension and handling in an off-road vehicle."
Powering the Wildcat 1000 X is a liquid-cooled SOHC 951cc V-twin combined with electronic fuel injection. The model also features a new drive and driven clutch, created in partnership with Team Industries. The model uses Arctic Cat's new sway bar for stability, in conjunction with new, heavy-duty Fox Podium shocks and Maxxis Bighorn tires.
The Wildcat 1000 X's automatic transmission has a park-in-gear shifter with reverse, neutral, and high and low gears. Riders use a dashboard switch to shift from two-wheel to four-wheel drive. An infinitely adjustable tilt steering wheel complements variable-assist electronic power steering.
The Wildcat 1000 X's full-perimeter exoskeleton chassis offers comfort and leg room. The interior has a locking glove box and cup holders, color-matched bucket seats with three-point seat belts, tube-frame doors with integrated nets, and front and rear sport bumpers.
The model will be available in Team Arctic Green and Vibrant Red Metallic colors.

LIGONIER, Pa. — A truck driver was hurt and hundreds of gallons of sticky, cherry-lime flavored drink syrup spilled, after his tractor-trailer overturned on a sharp curve near the bottom of a steep stretch of highway in western Pennsylvania.
Ligonier Township police have yet to release the name of the driver or the truck company involved, though Westmoreland County emergency officials believe a Newark, N.J. firm will have to pay for Tuesday evening's cleanup.
The truck was westbound on U.S. Route 30 in Ligonier Township when it rolled over about 6 p.m., spilling at least 23 55-gallon drums of the syrup on the highway. Crews couldn't hose it off for fear it might foul a nearby creek, so crews were working to soak it up.
The extent of the driver's injuries wasn't immediately clear Wednesday.

Students from Ms. Flynn's and Mr. Kuhn's kindergarten classes at Crossroads Elementary put on this play about the first Thanksgiving.
A feast followed for the kids, their parents and special guests.
Look for more photos by Mary Barczak from the event, as well as other community Thanksgiving photos and videos, in the multimedia section of www.pioneernews.net.
Sean Woods spent two hours answering 128 questions on the EXPLORE exam.
His test results place him in rare company. He is one of only two students in the last six years in Bullitt County to achieve a perfect score of 25 in all four subject areas (although many have come close).
"When taking the test last spring, I knew I was getting a lot of the answers right but I was not sure if it was going to be a perfect score," Sean said in a recent interview at Mt. Washington Middle School.
Recently, 36 students with the Mount Washington Middle School Band, under the direction of David Bretz, were selected to attend the Tri-State Middle School Honor Band, located at Morehead State University, on Nov. 23..
Students from Kentucky were joined by those from Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia.
Nine students were selected for the top ensemble.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - There had already been discussions over the past year about who should transport local students on field trips.
That discussion centered primarily on ways to help school system bus drivers instead of paying outside carriers.
But the most recent discussion by the Bullitt County Public School Board revolves around an injury accident which occurred recently on Interstate 64.
And that has led the county to suspend any business with Commonwealth Bus Service at this time.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The clock is still ticking as local officials put into place the mechanisms needed to get plans for a community college facility in the governor's next round of budget discussions.
At a special meeting of the Bullitt County Economic Development Authority, members learned that their organization did not have to be the agency which would borrow money to privately-build the actual college facility.
HILLVIEW - Two Bullitt County elementary schools are once again receiving substantial family resources thanks to the hiring of a new coordinator.
Tiffani Utterback was selected as the new Family Resource Center coordinator for Maryville and Overdale Elementary.
A Mount Washington resident, Utterback is a self-proclaimed "military brat" with family originally from the Louisville area.
CEDAR GROVE - The celebration of local veterans began earlier this year with two school events designed to honor and educate.
Cedar Grove and Lebanon Junction Elementary hosted Veterans Day programs with local veterans invited to participate. The programs were sponsored by the schools' Family Resource Centers.
Each event included training for 5th grade students provided by Rick Dickerson of Fort Knox, who is also a veteran of the Gulf War and the Cold War.
Bullitt County Schools Calendar of Events - November 2013. For more information call 869-8000 or visit www.bullittschools.org.
VETERANS DAY - Monday
CLERMONT - It was neither a dark nor stormy night, but the spooky tales being spun inside the Bernheim Middle library had students on the edge of their seats.
The library hosted Roberta Simpson Brown, a regional storyteller known as "Queen of the Cold-Blooded Tales."
Bernheim librarian Paula Clemons said this was Simpson Brown's fourth visit to the school.
"She is always invited to entertain students while also promoting storytelling as an art form," Clemons said.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Whether the county is successful in its bid to become certified as a Work Ready Community, positives have already been drawn from the process.
But, the county has cleared the first hurdle on what will be a three-year trek to earn that recognition.
Recently, the county was approved as a Work Ready Community in Progress.
That means the work will continue.

"Container lines are racing to initiate services to Iran following the nuclear accord... Some Asian lines — including Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), Hanjin Shipping, Yang Ming, Wan Hai and PIL — are ahead of the game, having already reinstated services that were mostly cut off as a result of Iranian sanctions in 2013... Wan Hai and Pacific International Lines (PIL) resumed calls at Bandar Abbas one year ago with their jointly operated China-to-Middle East service after a two-year absence." (TradeWinds, "Floodgates to open as lines jockey for position in Iran," 7/31/15)
"The Taiwanese shipping line Wan Hai berthed at Iran's Shahid Rajaee Port as EU sanctions against the country's shipping industry have been eased, the Fars news agency reported on July 22. Wan Hai container with 6,000 TEU capacity berthed at Shahid Rajaee Port in the southern province of Hormozgan neighboring the Persian Gulf on July 22. Before the easing of sanctions, ships had to unload cargoes at ports in Turkey, the UAE, Georgia, and Oman, and then the cargoes were transported to Iran. Direct shipment through Shahid Rajaee Port will decrease costs $40,000-100,000 per ton of cargo. Other ships from India, China, and South Korea are also scheduled to berth at Shahid Rajaee Port in the future, the IRNA news agency quoted Ali Jahandideh, the deputy director of the Ports and Maritime Organization of Iran as saying on July 21."

The company is reportedly ready to operate ships with capacity to carry 6,000 containers…Deputy director of Hormozagan province's Ports and Maritime Organization, Mojtaba Khoshniat, said that the port is becoming a key port in the region."

One administrator controls the entire hierarchy
Share to Developers, who can create and edit apps, or to Users, who can view only
Only one workspace is displayed to all employees
Share with all users of your primary email domain, across the globe
There will be only one verified administrator for an organization's workspace. With the single administrator for the entire organization's dashboard, the control of the entire hierarchy lies with this administrator, thus making the structure more of an organized file-system approach.
The administrator can grant other employees, access to the organizational dashboard, based on two levels of sharing; Developer and User. Developers can edit applications shared with him, and also create new ones. Users will be restricted to viewing shared applications. For instance, if an organization's webmaster is the administrator of the organization's workspace, he can grant Developer-Access to one member of each department. This developer, in turn, can create the required applications and share them with members of their respective departments.
The organization's workspace or dashboard is common to all employees of the organization. Any user who logs in will be seeing this dashboard that lists only those applications which have been shared with them. Only the administrator will be able to view all the created applications. Other users will see only those applications which have been shared with them. This removes clutter from the dashboard by listing applications that are relevant to that user.
Sharing an application or module to every employee in your organization can now be done without having to enter each email address individually. Share it to your company's registered domain, instead. For example, if you work for Zillium Inc, and your primary email address registered with Zoho is firstname.lastname@example.com, share your application with anyone across the globe who registers a zillium.com email address with Zoho. It is obvious that only Zillium's employees will have a zillium.com email address, so the job is done.
Use it forever, upgrade to a paid plan when needed.

The Benefits of Having a Business Raffle
Raffles and raffle tickets are not only for non-profit fundraisers! "Impact a Life" college scholarship essayist Sara Foster details some innovative ways to incorporate a raffle into your business marketing strategy. Good work and good luck Sara!
The benefits of any business having a fundraising raffle would be the amount of tickets that would be purchased. A business could host a raffle just to get the company off the ground and get consumers to buy purchase their products. They could also use the fundraiser to help out a local charity. People may not want the prize that is handed out, but they would still buy a ticket to give money for the charity.
Some businesses do raffles to attract people to their place of business. The raffle prize is often something the business sells. I assume they do this because if the raffle ticket winner likes what they have won they will eventually come back to that business and actually buy their products. They may also tell their peers about the business as well. This contributes to brand awareness.
Raffle fundraisers are also especially beneficial during the holiday seasons. For example, my neighborhood does a raffle every Thanksgiving. The winner of the raffle gets a free turkey to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day. If the prize is outstanding enough a person might also purchase multiple tickets to increase their chances of winning. If the prize is appealing enough and the business actually sells that product the people who did not win the raffle might just buy it from the business based on what they saw.
Raffles can also be used as promotional enhancers. I first experienced a raffle at the age of ten. The winning prize was a state of the art blender that the company was selling. My mother gave me money for my ticket. There were demonstrations on all the fantastic things that the blender could do. They had it make smoothies and salsa, passing it out to the audience afterwards. Every time they used the blender to make something it was handed out to more people who purchased a raffle ticket, and some even purchased more than one.
Another way raffle tickets are a help to businesses would be if there were 2nd and 3rd place winners allowed. There would be more people entering the raffle because there would be more prizes handed out. Food franchises can also use the raffle idea. If they offer the winner of the raffle a year supply of their food way more people would enter their raffle. This is especially so if the food franchise is already very successful.
Raffle promotions are also a good way to get loyal customers. For example, if a business does a specific raffle every year then the same people would enter that raffle and they would tell more people to increase awareness through word of mouth. Even if the prize changes and people leave, the loyal ones will stay. Raffles that have a specific theme and come at the same time every year have become traditions to some families. They have made it a tradition in that family to enter that raffle. I knew a family that entered the same raffle annually around Christmas. A raffle was held and the winner won a laptop. Each year everyone in that family entered, and when they had extended family over they entered as well.
The strongest benefits to holding a raffle are the word of mouth benefits that come along with the contest. With more people talking about the raffle, more prospects are looking at your business, and this is sure to bring a strong return on the investment for the prizes.

New boats for fire, police
Launching ceremony ends 5-year process
January 30, 2013
It took five years and nearly $600,000, but Marietta's new 25-foot custom-built fire and police boats arrived this week and were officially launched into the Ohio River during a public ceremony......
Money well spent by the joe matthews administration! Best marietta has ever had!

BTW, a new, decent, 24 foot open bow boat goes for about $60,000 now-a-days. A small cruiser goes for $100,000.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I read the article: The boat is outfitted with some of the latest technology for response on the water, including the ability to communicate with divers while they're submerged, structure sonar scanning, GPS and forward-looking infrared radar (FLIR) for navigation at night or during other low-vision situations. As far as how we got the cash, a condition for the city to receive the grant funding is that both boats would be available for response to major disasters anywhere within the Huntington Port-Tristate area. This also falls under the category of "the tax money is there so if we don't get it someone else does". I congratulate the person who went after the cash. Your tax dollars at work.

If this boat and the fire dept. save even just one life it will be money well spent. Our community is ON THE WATER!! It should not matter which side of the river the boat comes from! In fact, hopefully both sides have one!

I believe the quote" there is a sucker born every minute" applies here.

600k you think there might be a wee bit of a markup....
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Since the Ohio River falls under the jurisdiction of West Virginia and this was a federal grant for the Huntington Port, why is Marietta Ohio the city that purchased the boats? Is the City of Marietta paying the salaries of those manning the boats when they are used outside of the city limits?
I'm sure there are ways to justify this purchase but it seems like a duplication of efforts and services. But then what else is new? Ref: Health Department duplication of services.

Former Lighthouse boss backs de-listing opponents
Mr Rosengren, who left the firm last year and owns 15 per cent of the company, said the board owes it to shareholders to remain listed.
He said: "The board of directors of a business that has gone through the process of becoming quoted and, in doing so, sought external private and institutional investors owes it to those shareholders to continue to operate as a listed entity, or make a sensible cash offer for their shares."
The remarks follow proposals from the Lighthouse Group to de-list from Aim.
Paul Mumford, senior investment manager for Cavendish Asset Management, who has a 5 per cent holding in Lighthouse Group shares in his £17m Aim fund, who has been a vocal opponent of the de-listing, welcomed Mr Rosengren's intervention.
He said the Lighthouse Group should either maintain its listing or make shareholders a reasonable cash offer based on pre-announcement valuations.
Mr Mumford added: "The current management is looking ever more isolated in its stance that de-listing is in the best interests of the company."
Lighthouse sent a statement to shareholders this week in order to reassure them with regard to its proposed de-listing from the Aim.
Among other concessions to shareholders, the statement offers a matched bargain arrangement where to allow shareholders to dispense their ordinary shares. Lighthouse also denied rumours that its management team is using the move to buy out the company.
