quote: Second, and more concerning, is the non-collegial tone. He makes it personal, saying "you two show EXACTLY why Sony is failing," instead of sticking to the substance and simply saying "I disagree because..." And let's please lose the gratuitous "audio/video purists/bigots" insult. There are certainly reasons why Sony is failing, but it's not because of what they are doing with the RX100; I would argue, by contrast, is that this is the sort of product that used to keep Sony on top.

STATE COLLEGE, Penn. - The Stetson men's soccer team (0-1-0) fell to Penn State by a score of 3-0 in the season-opener on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions (1-0-0) scored one goal in the first half and two more in the second half to claim the victory.
Penn State took advantage of possession and tempo of the game early, recording 12 shots and earning eight corner kicks in the frame. The Nittany Lions scored their first goal of the game in the 10th minute. After an offsides call against Stetson, Penn State goalkeeper Emmanuel Martin sent a long ball down the field towards the Stetson goal. After a couple bounces, Daniel Burnham headed the ball into the goal to take a 1-0 lead.
Penn State had a chance to take a 2-0 lead in the 35th minute, but a beautiful save from Stetson junior goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl prevented the score. Schnabl finished with five saves in the defeat.
The second half was when Stetson started to build some momentum and get into their tempo. Senior Jonathan Mendoza gave the Hatters their first shot of the game in the 48th minute, barely missing a game-tying goal. The midfielder received a long pass, and had a chance to get to the goal, but a Penn State defender pulled him down during his attempt at net.
All the momentum Stetson had built was taken away in the 64th minute when Penn State's John Gallagher sent a cross into the box and found Julian Cardona for a header. The score gave the Nittany Lions a 2-0 lead. Cardona added to the lead less than a minute later with an unassisted goal from 30 yards out.
"I felt we played some good soccer in spots, but it has to be more consistent if we want to beat a Big Ten team," Head Coach Logan Fleck said. "We were not in rhythm. They had the ball because we were not in position to control it. We got caught up in a north-south game, and that type of game benefits Penn State."
The 3-0 lead stood for the rest of the contest as Penn State handed Stetson a loss in the season-opener for both squads. The Nittany Lions outshot Stetson 19-2, and held the edge in corner kicks, 11-1. The Hatters are in back in action on Monday afternoon, as they will travel to Morgantown, West Virginia to take on the WVU Mountaineers at 1:00 p.m.

- Organizations Will Work Together to Support Myeloma Patients & Physicians in Korea
- IMF Adds to Its Growing Affiliations with Organizations around the World
North Hollywood, CA, June 11, 2014 – The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) – improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure – and the Korea Blood Cancer Association (KBCA) today announced an affiliation to serve myeloma patients in Korea. The IMF and KBCA signed an affiliate agreement on June 10th, during the IMF's 5th Annual International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Summit in Milan, Italy. The IMF and KBCA will share information and expertise to increase myeloma awareness, improve patient access to myeloma treatment, and collaborate on myeloma research.
The IMWG Summit, which brings together an extensive network of leading myeloma researchers and clinicians to share recent myeloma advances, also brings together representatives from myeloma patient groups around the world. The IMF has a long history of working collaboratively with international patient organizations to improve patients' lives and outcomes around the globe.
"The IMF's mission is to improve the lives of myeloma patients all around the world, and we believe this affiliation with KBCA will benefit myeloma patients in Korea," said Susie Novis, IMF President and Co-Founder. "IMF representatives attended KBCA's last two annual patient meetings, where they shared the IMF's expertise and learned about KBCA's work. This affiliation allows us to work closely together for the benefit of myeloma patients, physicians, and researchers in Korea."
The affiliation is "a very important moment for the Korean myeloma patient community," said Dr. Jae-Hoon Lee, a myeloma expert and IMWG member who attended the signing ceremony at the IMWG Summit in Milan. "Multiple myeloma is rapidly increasing in Asia and has doubled in Korea in the last 10 years. The affiliation with the IMF is KBCA's first step to getting involved with the global myeloma community to more effectively raise awareness and deal with treatment reimbursement issues."
In 2010, the IMF established the Asian Myeloma Network (AMN), comprised of myeloma experts from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The AMN has become a recognized source of expertise for myeloma in the Asian region. Myeloma is a growing health problem in Asia, with an incidence that is approaching that in western countries, but with a much larger population base. AMN's first project, the Asian Myeloma Data Base, with entries for some 4,000 patients, has provided a wealth of data about myeloma incidence and treatment in the region. It led to the 2013 publication of AMN treatment guidelines for Asia and has provided the impetus for the creation of an AMN Clinical Trials Network. Korean doctors play a leading role in the AMN and the affiliation with KBCA will enhance Korean involvement in this work.
"IMF is committed to doing all we can to address the growing problem of myeloma in Asia," said Dan Navid, IMF Vice President, Global Affairs. "We are confident that our affiliation with KBCA will enhance collaboration to support patients in Korea, and serve as a model for action in other Asian countries."
Arin Assero, IMF Vice President, Global Advocacy, said, "the formal affiliation follows nearly two years of a successful partnership with KBCA to give patients a stronger voice in their healthcare choices."
Celebrating its 23rd anniversary, the International Myeloma Foundation reaches more than 350,000 members in 120 countries worldwide. A non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE (2873). The global website is www.myeloma.org. Follow the IMF on Twitter @IMFmyeloma.

on February 20, 2013 - 7:54 PM
NORTH TONAWANDA – Mayor Robert Ortt will run for a second term in office, with a plan to focus on upgrading dilapidated housing stock, fixing roads and instituting more reforms and economic development projects such as the ones developed during his first four years on the job.
"It's a very fulfilling job. I know as a mayor I have an opportunity to do something great," he said Wednesday. "I don't do that every ay, but I have the opportunity every day."
Before he was elected, Ortt, 33, a Republican, had a career as a financial planner and was a member of the Army National Guard, serving for a year in Afghanistan. As mayor, he championed veterans' initiatives, such as a homebuilding project for a soldier who lost his legs. He also hired a new public works superintendent who developed a street repair plan, and negotiated the transfer of emergency dispatch workers to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office in Lockport. The dispatch department had cost the city about $440,000 a year.
Most of the other elected posts with terms expiring are held by people who intend to run for re-election, or for an elected post of some kind:
• City Attorney Shawn Nickerson will run for a third four-year term, Ortt said.
• Common Council President Richard Andres of the 2nd Ward, a North Tonawanda High School history teacher, said he was weighing his options and not ready to announce.
• Alderman Russ Rizzo, of the 1st Ward, a former county legislator and former owner of an office supply business, said he will seek re-election. An Independent who caucuses with Republicans, Rizzo served on the council from 2000 to 2009 before spending two years as a Niagara County legislator.
• Alderman Eric Zadzilka, of the 3rd Ward, who tests and screens patients for a Williamsville eye doctor, will run for a third term.
• Alderwoman-at-Large Nancy Donovan could not be reached to comment.

I believe a correlation exists between large-scale failures causing the water crises in the Charleston area harming more than 300,000 people and the small-scale failures of Philippi officials who refuse to enforce codes to the detriment of my sister and me.
I consider us all victims of self-serving politicians who ignore dangers to citizens while not holding accountable corporate or private perpetrators of malicious mischief. Where are communication, cooperation, and oversight among federal, state and local governments in the interests of all citizens?
In Philippi on Carter Avenue, at the edge of a creek and beside a double-wide mobile home with its porch sitting on public land, two storage buildings (one also partly on taxpayers' land) contain - what? Facts acknowledged by city officials are that the owner operates, parks, repairs and maintains his tractor-trailer truck using about 20 feet of city land in a residential zone.
In addition to truck equipment, the buildings may contain diesel fuel. The storage buildings may contain many huge truck tires. How many are too many? Is the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection powerless to check? If these tires were to burn, imagine the danger to his family and mobile home - as well as to all of his neighbors. Where is a fire marshal? Tires, also stacked against and beneath the buildings, may contain water-breeding mosquitoes and West Nile virus. Where is the Health Department?
Diesel fumes, identified by the Environmental Protection Agency and the World Health Organization as carcinogenic, often permeate our homes (both parents died of cancer and my sister suffers a neurological disease). Could the years of this idling truck's spewing diesel fumes have contributed to their illnesses? In seeking help, we were ridiculed by the Philippi mayor and Council. They scoffed about horrendous noises of the air-impact wrench and other tools, then passed a motion allowing such noises seven days a week, benefitting the trucker.
Where is the U.S. Postal Service? In a letter denying curbside mail delivery service to my sister and me, higher level Postal officials, without specifying, stated "safety issues" at the end of Carter Avenue need to be addressed before the decision can be revisited.
They did not, however, send a letter to the city, even though only the city can address this matter by taking back just a small portion (about seven feet under one storage building) of the public land on which the trucker squats to include it in a much-needed cul-de-sac for public use within the actual 45-foot right-of-way.
Where are proactive rather than reactive laws? Are legislators purposely passing ambiguous, weak laws lacking consequences?
Even existing, specific laws are conveniently misinterpreted by politicians who direct enforcement when, if and on whom they choose, thereby compromising police and regulatory officials' ability to perform their duties without fear of losing their jobs.
Some judges and magistrates are woefully unqualified or decide cases not in accordance with law or equal application thereof but according to prejudicial opinions and friendships, or even as directed by a mayor.

Sebastian Co. deputy dies after seriously injured in accident
Deputy Terry Johnson is in critical, but stable condition
A Sebastian County deputy that was seriously injured in a one-car accident Saturday morning has passed away.
The sheriff's office said Deputy Terry Johnson was in his assigned area on routine patrol in Lavaca on Highway 96 when the accident happened.
Sebastian County dispatch got a 911 call from a person who told them he heard a loud crash and saw a white vehicle on its side off the road.
Crews used the jaws of life to free Johnson from his cruiser.
Arkansas State Police are investigating the accident.
Johnson joined the Sebastian County sheriff's office in 1996 as a detention deputy, but was promoted to patrol deputy in 1999.

UT Southwestern doctor is lead individual defendant in Medicare fraud lawsuit, despite her bosses' public denials
UT Southwestern Medical Center accuses us in a letter of publishing an "unwarranted and prejudicial portrayal" of Dr. Karen Kowalske. As my colleague Miles Moffeit reported last week, she is resigning as a UTSW department chair while federal prosecutors work to settle a lawsuit accusing her and others of billing fraud.
"It is misleading to suggest that Dr. Kowalske or UT Southwestern is the focus of the allegations referred to in the article," says the letter, which was published today in The Dallas Morning News. But as you can see in the red box here, she is the lead individual defendant in the case. (And our story did not suggest that UTSW was the focus of anything, although we noted that all individual defendants are current or former UTSW faculty members. Click on the second link above.)
Here are examples of what the lawsuit accuses Kowalske of doing at Parkland Memorial Hospital, where she has long overseen physical medicine and rehabilitation in addition to her UTSW duties:
She "issued an executive directive for residents and fellows [doctors in UTSW training programs] to see all potential patients as early as possible during their Parkland inpatient stay, including while in the ICU." This "placed many medically unstable patients in jeopardy for further injury and serious harm."
The directive's purpose, according to the lawsuit, was to have the trainees "systematically be able to record on Parkland medical forms that a rehab consult was performed." The forms "would be used as support to cause false billings" to Medicare and other federal insurance programs.
None of the defendants have responded publicly to the lawsuit's allegations. And last week, UTSW's spokesman did not respond when asked whether Kowalske's departure was related to settlement negotiations.
Yet today's letter says: "The newspaper was informed of the facts before publication, but decided to publish a sensationalized and misleading article. Why the change in an academic department chair should be newsworthy is a mystery to us."
It was signed by Dr. Daniel Podolsky, UTSW's president; Dr. Greg Fitz, dean of UTSW's medical school; and Dr. Bruce Meyer, executive vice president for health system affairs.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — We had been traveling for hours — six by plane from Philadelphia to San Francisco, then nearly four more in a car through city, suburbs, farmland and forest — when we glimpsed our reward from a turnout in the mountain road.
The vista of Yosemite Valley stunned me: a majestic waterfall, soaring granite and a winding river flowing through an endless stretch of pine trees.
I smiled, feeling oddly vindicated by its Brigadoon-like appearance. Yosemite had been an unusual choice for a vacation; my husband and I usually opt for beach resorts when we want to escape Philly for a few days.
Now, after such a long journey, Yosemite already had left us with an indelible image — and we hadn't even checked into the lodge yet. In fact, we barely had gotten out of the car.
I had sold my skeptical spouse on the idea by calling it a beginner's visit to a national park, a nature trip for city people — we'd do the same stuff we do at home, like walking and biking, only with different scenery.
I had been to Yosemite twice before in the early 1980s. Then, as a 'tween growing up in Los Angeles, I didn't think it was all that special; it was just a forest a few hours away where everyone went camping. Big deal.
As an adult, Yosemite became simply the place in those ubiquitous Ansel Adams prints. But my interest was rekindled by recent family photos taken at the park, making me wonder if I should go back to see the gushing waterfalls, open meadows, towering rocks and rushing streams — and if it could be done without sleeping in a tent.
The answers were yes and yes.
We stayed at the centrally located Yosemite Lodge, which as park novices was probably the smartest thing we could have done. Not only did it have the comforts of home (Wi-Fi, cable and flat-screen TV, plus several on-site food options), we had to walk only about a city block for a spectacular view of Yosemite Falls.
An easy path led us to the bottom of the lower fall, which was impressive enough that we skipped the strenuous, hours-long hike to the top of the upper fall. We then took a short walk to get lunch in Yosemite Village, which features a museum, visitor center, gallery, post office, courthouse, deli and general store, not to mention great people-watching.
After lunch, we hopped on the park's free shuttle to the start of the Mist Trail. The 1.5-mile roundtrip hike to the bottom of Vernal Fall was more of a workout because it was partly uphill, but the view was worth it.
Still jet-lagged, we turned back without braving the additional 500 mist-drenched steps to the top. We shuttled back to the village for coffee and, at sunset, walked to a nearby meadow to take pictures of iconic Half Dome.
The next day, we drove to Merced Grove for a three-mile roundtrip trek to see giant sequoias, trees that are taller (and certainly older) than some urban high-rises. We later got sprayed by the water at Bridalveil Fall, an easy walk from the designated parking lot, and took a quick drive up to a scenic overlook called Tunnel View.
On our last day, we rented bikes and rode out to Mirror Lake. I had remembered being enchanted by its reflective nature as a fifth-grader, but now ... not so much. The lake has shrunk to pond size and is on its way to becoming a meadow. Still, the trail offered an impressive close-up of Half Dome, the park's iconic granite summit, and bike riding on dedicated paths among tall pines and flowing waterways was priceless.
After enjoying all that beauty, I shouldn't have been surprised to learn that Yosemite is the third-most visited national park. Actually, I could have guessed as much considering the array of tourists we saw on the trails — women in yoga pants and running shoes, seasoned hikers with backpacks and walking sticks, children wearing sandals and grandparents in collared shirts and sweaters.
And the park's popularity is why timing proves crucial. Summers at Yosemite are known for crowds and traffic jams, but the park seemed blessedly quiet during our mid-April trip.
That said, we had to book six months in advance for a room at the lodge, though there are other options inside and outside the park. Also, some waterfalls, scenic overlooks and roads are seasonal; Yosemite Falls, for example, is fed by snowmelt and tends to run dry in early fall.
A note for travelers coming from afar: We drove in on Route 120, which is a twisting, unlit mountain road that I wouldn't want to navigate at night. Consider an early flight or bookend the trip with overnight stays in San Francisco so that you can arrive at Yosemite during daylight hours.
That also will help ensure you'll enjoy the gorgeous views as you descend into the valley; there are plenty of vehicle turnouts, so keep your camera handy. The landscapes become even more breathtaking once you reach the valley floor, and a plethora of travel options — walking, shuttle bus, guided tour or bicycle — makes it impossible not to see something beautiful at every turn.
And, unlike Ansel Adams, you don't have to worry about running out of film.

�Hand-washing is a principle with us,� said Bari Wagner, an epidemiologist at the San Juan Basin Health Department. �Our WIC (Women Infant Children) program and Nurse Family Partnership educates moms about the importance of hand-washing after changing diapers or before preparing food.�
The department�s restaurant inspectors work with eateries on food safety, Wagner said. The agency�s monthly report on restaurant inspections published in The Durango Herald frequently announces violations for lack of hand-washing or bare-hand contact with food.
Wagner said hand-washing should occur before and sometimes after cooking, eating, using the bathroom, changing diapers, petting animals, putting out the garbage, changing a bandage or tending the sick.
The benefits of hand-washing are incorporated into the Durango School District 9-R curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade, said Sherrod Beale, director of the district�s coordinated school health services.
�Studies show that hand-washing has a direct effect on the number of days kids miss school,� Beale said.
�Hand-washing is the most effective way to reduce germs. You shouldn�t be obsessive/compulsive about it, but be aware.�
�Cover a cough, don�t bite your nails or put your fingers in your mouth or nose,� Beale said. �Wash your hands and get immunized.�
Hot water and soap is the best way to wash hands, Beale said. Sanitizers, which should contain at least 60 percent alcohol, do the job but not as well as soap and water.
Sanitizers aren�t effective if hands are visibly dirty, she said.
Alcohol gels have their place in hospitals, said Guy Walton, the infection prevention nurse at Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Gel is easily applied and is absorbed quickly, Walton said. Doctors can sanitize their hands from push-top dispensers in the hallway while walking from room to room, he said.
�Doctors also can sanitize their hands in the presence of the patient,� Walton said.
At old Mercy Medical Center in Durango, there were two patients to a room, Walton said. Doctors had to cleanse their hands when turning from one patient to the other.
�We started using gel there,� Walton said. �It was amazing how much gel we used.�
When washing with soap and water, 20 seconds should be spent lathering and rinsing the hands, Walton said. When teaching children the routine, he suggested a gimmick: Sing twice either �row, row, row your boat� or the �happy birthday� greeting; it takes about 20 seconds.
In some quarters, there is worry that hand sanitizers do more good than harm.
A group called the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics, an international nongovernmental organization dedicated to preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, says there is some evidence that infants and children who grow up in a biocide-laden environment may not develop as strong an immune response as they otherwise would.
Also, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has questioned the use of consumer antibacterial soap and hand sanitizers, saying no studies have showed a link between their use and a decline in infection rates.

Unemployment Benefits Extension Stalls in Senate
|Email Print
Update Oct. 18: The Senate has come to the decision to modify the House bill to include all states, not just ones with unemployment rates greater than 8.5%. The change will come in the form of S. Amndt. 2668 to the House Bill, H.R. 3548 according to Open Congress blogger Donny Shaw.
In normal times, unemployment benefits last twenty-six weeks after someone loses their job. In normal times, it takes newly unemployed people less than 26 weeks to find a job… until today. But we aren't in normal times. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this is the first time since 1948, when they started collecting this information, that the average time it takes to find a job is longer than the 26 weeks of state unemployment benefits.
The House of Representatives passed a bill last month (H.R. 3548) that would extend unemployment benefits in high-unemployment states by 13 weeks. The Senate is debating similar bills (S. 1699 was referred to committee) and the fight is over who gets benefits and how much.
S. 1699 would give an extra 13 weeks to states with unemployment rates higher than 8.5% funded by extending unemployment tax on employers.
These last few months emphasize how important it is to have an emergency fund. Standard unemployment benefits offer six months of income, if everyone had a six month emergency fund then it would matter less if the average time to find a job was longer than 26 weeks. People would still have money saved to pay for things.
Should we be taxing employers and giving the money to people without jobs? I'm not against helping people who are in trouble, we all should try to look out for each other, but this may be the wrong way to go about it. I think that companies they need to pay extra for the people they already hire, they probably will be hiring less. Fewer new jobs means longer employment periods and higher rates. Is this the right direction anyway?{ 90 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Unfortunately my warranty options are limited to just where I purchased it. I live in Australia and elected to purchase from an online retailer, based out of Hong Kong. So that wonderful 6 year warranty that is available in the states is not an option here. In fact, I'm not sure I'd even get that if I'd bought locally in Australia.If this second time doesn't result in a fix, I will go directly to Tamron and likely have to pay a servicing fee. I'd obviously like to avoid that but I'm running out of time. The lens was purchased in December of 2011.
But after using it a while and comparing photos taken with it, to my L series 24-105, I was routinely disappointed with the sharpness I was getting. I took a lot of outdoors, nature photos with it, often of birds and flowers/landscapes. Most of them were OK, but none of them really popped the way my other lens(es) did.

After learning of the theme "Magic in the Mountains" for the 76th Mountain State Forest Festival and meeting Maid Silvia Emily McKibbin Everson, dress designer and seamstress Miss Connie Linger felt the Disney urge for fantasy costuming.
Everson will descend coronation hill today wearing a classic ballgown style done up in forest green velvet. The gown's accent fabric is a burnt orange maple leaf jacquard. The bodice of her gown features a modest V-neckline.
This neckline sports yet another first for Linger: the wired ruff.

Scenes from the Mountain State Forest Festival
"I was excited to create this piece from a sheer green chiffon and edged with a 1-inch frayed-gold organza ruffle, then trimmed with gold-lame edging," she said.
The shoulders are draped with a simple flounce of the burnt orange, which has been embellished with copper and gold metallic couched yarns. Tiny golden oak leaf swirls are embroidered on it, and gold brocade maple leaves accent the center front. Swarovski crystals accent the flounce in clusters and among the leaves.
Everson's sleeves are fitted to the wrist, with an accent featuring a green chiffon flounce anchored to the sleeve by ruched and frayed gold organza with crystal-accented oak leaves at the wrist.

Maid Silvia LXXVI Emily McKibbin Everson receives her crown at 2 p.m. today during coronation ceremonies at the Davis &?Elkins College Amphitheater. Pre-coronation music begins at 1 p.m.
The deep V-cut waistline of the gown is accented by a peplum with couching and embroidery of swirls and leaves as the peplum flows from around the waist and asymmetrically across and down the front of the skirt to become a hem flounce of about 10 inches all the way around. The top edge of the flounce is accented by a gold brocade bias braid, which flows around the peplum and follows the line around and back up the front to meet the waist again. A gold organza rosette on her right and a matching carnation on her left are set off by ribbon leaves and velvet rosebuds in the color of the maids' brandy velvet. The entire peplum and hem flounce are embellished in layers, including metallic yarn couching overlayed by multiple leaf embroideries and finished with a final layer of small golden oak leaf swirls and gold brocade leaves.
Everson's green velvet train attaches in an unusual place, under the shoulder flounce. A band of gold brocade flows down the center of it and is surrounded completely by a burnt orange jacquard flounce to match the one on her gown. A "windblown" swirl of leaves makes its way asymmetrically across the lower portion of the brocade and finishes off in the orange jacquard, which flows over the bottom edge of the 12-foot train.
When not busy with her royal duties as part of the Mountain State Forest Festival, Everson, of Martinsburg, enjoys skiing, biking, swimming, playing volleyball and spending time with family, friends and her family's rescue dog, Bella.
She is a 2010 graduate of Martinsburg High School and enjoys participating on the West Virginia University club archery team. The WVU student is studying exercise physiology with an emphasis in health professions and aquatic therapy.

WHEELING - A consultant's report that would have reshaped the salary structure for higher education employees in West Virginia has come in "incomplete" and is "not usable," according to the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.
Minneapolis-based Fox Lawson & Associates was to be paid about $200,000 from state taxpayers to set new salary schedules for classified and non-classified employees and faculty at the state's colleges and universities, as required by West Virginia Senate Bill 330, passed in 2011. Higher Education Policy Commission spokeswoman Jessica Tice told the Sunday News-Register the report from Fox Lawson, received late last month, has a number of issues.
She said Fox Lawson provided salary surveys for 98 classified positions and also two- and four-year faculty that "are not usable because Fox Lawson did not create unique peer groups for each of our institutions as required by SB 330."
"The faculty salary data Fox Lawson has produced does not differentiate between, for example, (West Virginia University's) peers and any other West Virginia school's peers," she said. "The need to create unique peer groups for each of our institutions was an explicit element of the contract. Without the ability to distinguish between the faculty and non-classified salaries paid to the statutory peers for each of West Virginia's separate higher education institutions - as opposed to salaries paid by an amalgam of all of the public higher education institutions in West Virginia - the information Fox Lawson provided simply does not satisfy the requirements of SB 330.
"Other elements of the report are incomplete as well. As a result, (human resources) staff at the commission are working with the classified portion of the survey results provided to determine whether the 98 ... positions selected by Fox Lawson are appropriate to establish a new classified salary schedule."
The law tasks the commission with updating the salary structure for classified staff, non-classified staff and faculty at West Virginia's higher education institutions.
The HEPC hired Fox Lawson to complete the salary survey, with the first section dealing with "relative market equity" for classified staff - secretaries, electricians, vehicle maintenance and similar jobs.
Tice said commission staff had expressed concern to Fox Lawson about its work since last February. To date, Fox Lawson has been paid almost $100,000 for the salary survey, she said.
Now, the HEPC is being forced to ask another consultant, Mercer Consulting, to assist in revising the Fox Lawson classified data.
"... We are working with Mercer Consulting in an effort to have them review and to assess the results of Fox Lawson's work to determine whether it meets established professional standards and methodologies. In addition, we are hoping Mercer will be able ... to update the classified salary survey numbers to 2013 figures since Fox Lawson's work is based on 2012 data," she said. "With updated, validated classified salary data, we will be in a position to revise the classified salary schedule."
The classified salary structure in West Virginia has not been updated since 2001.
A call to Fox Lawson's offices in Minneapolis seeking comment on the report was not returned.
Sen. Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, the bill's lead sponsor, also did not return messages seeking comment.
One of the potential issues with getting an accurate report for SB 330 deals with the law's unique nature.
For example, faculty and staff representatives from WVU, along with others at West Liberty University, question the "relative market equity" concept. The relative market equity study from Fox Lawson was meant to determine the average pay scale for faculty, non-classified and classified staff at all state institutions, and then compare that scale to other HEPC-designated "peer institutions" and also similar jobs in the local community.
The law also requires "internal equity" at each school of 5 percent among the three employee classes. For example, if a school's faculty average pay is at 90 percent of its peers, and its classified and non-classified average pay is at 80 percent, the school would have to find a way to either bring the classified and non-classified average to 85 percent by increasing the salary scale, or lower the faculty pay to 85 percent.
That has led to concern from higher education officials throughout the state that a university such as WVU may not be able to recruit and retain faculty members.
Another issue is that no other state does a salary structure for higher education such as West Virginia is attempting to do through SB 330.
"We know of other states that employ market-driven methodologies for setting campus salaries. We do not know of any other states in which the salaries of different classes of employees within higher education institutions are linked together as they are by SB 330," Tice said.
WVU professor Roy Nutter opposes the law and its implementation. He said employees from all three classifications, along with human resources representatives, have been working hard to shed light on the matter.
"It appears we are making some progress in raising the caution flags here," he said in reference to the report.
As far as a timeline for implementation moving forward, Tice said "the law itself sets various deadlines and recurring reporting requirements far into the future."
"There are three primary components to SB 330: compensation, HR studies and reporting," she said. "The compensation elements of SB 330 are likely to take the longest to implement because they require that we engage an outside consultant to conduct the market studies. The HR studies element of SB 330 is ongoing. Some studies required by the law, such as how to treat grant-funded employees, may require legislative action before any recommendations can be implemented. Finally, the reporting requirements of SB 330 are recurring in nature and will be a permanent part of the HR duties of the commission."

On this particular evening, St. Wendelin graduate Cookie Geroski didn't have her shot going. She was only 2 of 8 from the floor in Capital's game at Heidelberg Wednesday night.
No matter. The junior guard found other ways to help the Crusaders to a 76-61 win.
Geroski had four points, a team-best eight rebounds, two assists and two steals as Capital improved to 13-5, 8-3 in the Ohio Athletic Conference.
"Cookie does more than just score," said Capital coach Dixie Jeffers. "Cookie can shoot it, but she also does just so many things. She takes care of the basketball, gets us in our offense, goes to the boards and rebounds. She's just a smart player."
It was something of a homecoming game for Geroski, a Fostoria native who had a large cheering section at Seiberling Gymnasium.
"It's a thrill," Geroski said. "Every time I come here, I never know who I'm going to see, so it's like a surprise for me almost. It's nice to go back home and know that all these people will come and support me."

Rebounds: Heidelberg 32 (Davis 12, Givner 6); Capital 31 (Niekamp 10).
Turnovers: Heidelberg 17; Capital 9.
Assists: Heidelberg 9; Capital 18.
For a time in the first half, it looked like those Capital fans were in for a disappointment. Heidelberg started shooting the ball well, and jumped out to a 17-10 lead after a Jordan Ickes jumper with 13:06 left in the half.
"Coach came at us and said we need to pick it up," Geroski said. "At the beginning we didn't really communicate that well, and after that timeout, we came out together and just started talking, getting more aggressive and just getting at it."
Capital went on a 6-0 run to cut the Student Princes' lead to one, then took a 21-20 lead when Kristen Thompson converted a three-point play with 7:41 left in the half.
Heidelberg's Erin Sims answered with a 3-pointer to put HU up 23-21, but the Crusaders responded with nine unanswered points to go up 30-23.
"Not that we had them on the ropes, because ... we played like five, six minutes of basketball. There's so much more to play," Heidelberg coach Marcie Alberts said. "But, when you give a team that's struggling chances to get back into the game by making layups, that's a lot easier than forcing them to take jumpers or contested shots, and we didn't do that. We didn't do that throughout the game."
Capital's top scorer was Stacy Timmerman, who made 10 of 15 baskets for 20 points to go with six rebounds.
"Timmerman's been hot. The last two weeks she's had 29 [points], 20, and I don't know what she had today," Jeffers said minutes after the win. "She's very, very hot and she's a go-to player."
Capital led 36-29 at the break, but Heidelberg battled back to make it close. As usual, the Student Princes were led - as usual - by Kathleen Phillips, who had 18 points. Phillips' jumper with 9:12 left in regulation cut the Crusaders' lead to 55-51. But less than a minute later, Phillips was called for her fourth foul and was on the bench for the next several minutes.
With HU's top threat off the court, Capital extended its lead, scoring the game's next five points. A Geroski layup put Capital up 60-51 with seven and a half minutes left.
Alberts said her defense really struggled Wednesday night.
"We go from Mount Union [Saturday] who shoots 34 3's against us in our zone, to (Capital), who picked it apart and got layups out of it," she said. "Again, a lot of them were in transition, but you can't do that. You can't beat teams giving up that many layups."
Many of Capital's transition opportunities came off HU turnovers. Heidelberg had 22 miscues, while the Crusaders had 13.
"Twenty-two, in the broad scheme of it you don't look at it and say that's a ton of turnovers," Alberts said. "But (Capital) had 17 steals. That means that 17 of our turnovers, we gave it to them to go down and get conversions."
Jeffers said her defense executed.
"Our defense is our trademark; it always has been our trademark," she said. "We're getting better and better at playing what we're doing, and we're peaking at the right time."
Jamie Caton had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds for the Crusaders, while Rebekah Will had eight points and seven rebounds.
Geroski said she thinks Capital can be a factor in the OAC, which includes nationally-ranked Ohio Northern and Mount Union.
"We should be right up there," she said. "Our team is all about one another. It's not a one-person or two-person team. If one person's off, everyone needs to fight back in and pick everyone up. I think we're at the top with everyone else - Mount Union, Ohio Northern. We just need to believe in it, believe in ourselves."
Heidelberg (5-13, 1-10) got eight points from Columbian graduate Megan Miller, and seven points each from Jordan Ickes and Page Ricketts. Ricketts also had nine rebounds.
The Student Princes shot 22 of 60 from the floor, but just 4 of 20 from 3-point range.
"We're 4 out of 20 from 3, we're 18 out of 40 from two," Alberts said. "You tell me what's the better shot."

Little things to big people are often big things to little people. You could probably find a life-lesson out of most ordinary things day to day if you take a moment. So, it's not too surprising that the weekly garbage pick-up brings me to reflection here this morning.
Our city's garbage trucks are the really cool kind that have the mechanical arm-thing that comes down and picks up the can, empties the contents in the truck, then sets it back down. Very fun for the boys to watch. We heard the truck this morning and the boys ran to watch from the playroom window. The garbage man is this rugged, rebel-Harley-type guy and he wears a camouflage cowboy hat. The boys were waving at him from the window, and I wasn't even sure he could see them, but he gave a smile and waved back from his big, cool truck- much to their excitement!
I bet most of us take our garbage man & truck for granted, and the majority of people probably dread having to take the garbage out, period. To my boys, it's an exciting part of their day to see this once-a-week event! Maybe the garbage man thought the same- he didn't have to wave or acknowledge my boys, but he did, and that made their day! It was a big deal to my little guys. Who knows, maybe it made his day, too?

Sterling Sharpe's booming voice carried across the driving range at The Golf Club at Gray's Crossing as he wrapped his arm around the shoulder of junior Truckee football player Blake Crosby.
Crosby, in stitches laughing along with a half-dozen Truckee football teammates and their coach, had little choice but to accept the good-natured ribbing aimed at him and his fellow Wolverines. His teammates, after all, had just endured similar bantering from the NFL Hall of Famer, who really just wanted to learn more about the three-time defending state champs.
"They're pretty relaxed around us, and they heard about our three-peat, so they want to hear more about that and talk to us and joke around a bit," said Truckee senior running back Tyler Curtis, referring to the numerous NFL greats who were tuning up before the start of the fourth annual Gene Upshaw Memorial Golf Classic on Monday.
Accompanied by their head coach, Bob Shaffer, the group of Truckee players volunteered to help out in the morning of the fundraising tournament. Another group of Truckee players replaced them for the afternoon shift.
"They're going to be talking about that all day at school probably," Shaffer said of the players' humorous exchange with Sharpe, a Green Bay Packers receiver from 1988 to 1994. "The way he got on them about not having names on the backs of their jerseys … he rode 'em pretty hard."
But it was all in good fun.
Sharpe — whose life-of-the-party kidding around with the Truckee players attracted former Washington Redskins running back Brian Mitchell to the circle — was joined in the memorial golf tournament by more than 20 former NFL players and coaches. In addition to Sharpe, they included Marcus Allen, Gene Washington, Willie Gault, Raymond Chester, Tom Flores and Herm Edwards, among others.
Now in its fourth year, the tournament is put on by Tahoe Forest Health System in Truckee to gain awareness and support for the new state-of-the-art Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center, which celebrated its grand opening Tuesday. In its first three years, the event raised nearly $350,000 of net profit to benefit Tahoe Forest Health System and its programs.
Gene Upshaw, a Hall of Fame lineman for the Oakland Raiders who also served as director of the Players Association, died at Tahoe Forest Hospital of pancreatic cancer on Aug. 21, 2008, at the age of 63.
"It's been a long, emotional journey, and it started when Gene passed away with the quality care that he received for the short time while he was in Tahoe Forest Hospital," said Terri Upshaw, Gene's widow. "I just felt that the community wrapped its hands around us as a family. And when the cancer center came into the picture, I felt like it would be a perfect match.
"This was Gene's place to go to get away and escape the pressures and stress of work, and we would spend good, quality time as a family. So we wanted to be able to leave his legacy with a community where we felt embraced."
The participating players and coaches said they cherished the opportunity to honor an old friend while also contributing to a good cause.
"I always look forward to it, especially because of the cause," said former Raiders teammate Marcus Allen, who has participated all four years of the tournament. "What you do for your fellow man is what really lasts. Those are the meaningful things. I always try to keep everything in perspective. Trophies are great, but they get old and they get rusty, so I think what you do for your fellow man is what really makes you feel good at the end of the day. So participating in this is certainly something special."
Tom Flores, who twice led the Raiders to Super Bowl victories after replacing John Madden as head coach in 1979, has attended three of the four memorial tournaments, skipping last year's because of a shoulder surgery. "We old football players are tough, but not that tough," he joked.
He, too, said he was honored to play in the tournament in memory of Upshaw, whom he best remembers as "a great leader" — he also recalls Upshaw helping to get the Raiders' locker room "on my side" after Madden's departure.
"Gene was a good friend. He was a great player and a great person, and he did a lot for football, so this is very befitting of him," Flores said. "All the work that they've done and the money they've raised for local charities is just tremendous."
Mitchell echoed the sentiment of Flores and Allen.
"As athletes we get invited to a lot of different things, and what's tough about showing up to a golf tournament? You're helping out a great cause and a great man who was always willing to help everybody else," Mitchell said. "So everything about this golf tournament, helping with the cancer center and all that, is unbelievable. I was thrilled that I was asked to come. I've always supported Gene and believed in him, so to see this legacy that he would be proud of, I'm happy to be a part of it."
