Political Science-the study of government and politics-deals with the perennial issues of power, authority, freedom, and order in societies and on the international scene. Just as the ancient Greeks used the word "idiot" to refer to one who took no interest in the affairs of the state, we believe that the study of political science is an essential part of the educational process.
The purpose of the program is to provide a liberal arts education with an emphasis in the study of political science. The program prepares students for a wide variety of careers as well as for active and discerning roles in the community.
Students majoring in political science can choose among five degree options, of which four are designed to further specific vocational objectives:
The department offers a wide variety of courses out of which all majors choose a "core curriculum" of nine hours. Depending on the option selected, further specialized courses are taken in political science and related areas. There are a variety of options for off-campus study, including internships and the Washington Semester. Students can work with faculty on a one-to-one basis in independent studies or directed readings and are encouraged to master basic career skills-writing, research methods, problem-solving, and the ability to analyze problems. Culminating the major is a required senior project which includes a significant advanced study which includes either an experiential or a written research component. Student organizations foster learning and interaction among students and faculty outside the classroom; these include a pre-law chapter of Phi Alpha Delta for pre-law students, the OCU delegation to the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL), Pi Sigma Alpha; the national political science honorary society, the College Republicans, and the Young Democrats.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Jamie Lynn Spears
- 1990s
Showbiz Blood
The Spears women – mother Lynne, aspiring performer Britney and baby sister Jamie Lynn (left) – move to New York so Britney can get closer to the casting action. Lynne's husband, Jamie, a building contractor, and her eldest child, Bryan, stay behind in their native Kentwood, La. After landing in an Off-Broadway play, Britney decides she wants to go back home. Shortly after their return, the elder Spears sister gets cast in The New Mickey Mouse Club, where she performs with future boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
- 1998
Big Sis Brit Undresses
Britney's debut music video, "...Baby One More Time," causes a media firestorm for its sexual nature – the 17-year-old budding pop star is outfitted in a schoolgirl's uniform, revealing her midriff. Although she becomes pop's favorite Lolita, Britney (inset) is a down-home girl, who loves her seven-year-old baby sister (right, pictured with Lynne). "I like to take care of her. She's really, really sweet," Britney tells the Orlando Sentinel. "One time she had my CD in her stereo and was just singing away. She doesn't know any of the words – was just making them up."
- 2002
Jamie Lynn's All That
Jamie Lynn joins Nickelodeon in the kid network's sketch series, All That (pictured in a scene with her sister's boyfriend Justin Timberlake). "Of course I'm biased, but I definitely think Jamie Lynn has that 'It' quality," Britney tells USA Today. "She shines, and I'm proud of her." But Lynne gives her a relatively normal upbringing, keeping her in school at Kentwood's private Park Lane Academy and letting her shoot with Nickelodeon during her summer breaks.
A Spears Sister Act
At the 2002 Teen Choice Awards, Jamie Lynn, who has developed a tween following, makes an appearance with Britney. "She's the little star at school right now," Britney tells PEOPLE. "She's just 'Miss Everything' and lovin' every minute of it." But Jamie Lynn makes sure she's not just seen as Brit's little sister: "I'm me, she's her, let's get over it," she tells USA Today. "But it doesn't bother me, because I'm not here to be a huge person. It's not about proving to people how famous I am."
- 2005
Nick Springboard: Zoey 101
Jamie Lynn, 13, is given her own Nickelodeon series, Zoey 101 (pictured with costar Alexa Nikolas). She plays Zoey Brooks, a student at a newly coed boarding school. The series eventually becomes the second highest-rated show with tweens, just behind American Idol, and Jamie Lynn wins a Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Teen Actress. Dan Schneider, who created the show for Jamie Lynn, credits her appeal to her not realizing she's beautiful, famous and talented. "The net result is you have this real girl talking to you, sort of like the girl next door," he tells the AP.
- 2007
Separating from Britney
On the set of Jamie Lynn's Zoey 101, Britney hands her mother a letter that asks Lynne to stay away from her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Jamie Lynn, who lives with Lynne, is caught in the middle of the rift between her mother and sister, according to a family friend. The falling out stems from the family's involvement with Britney's rocky stint in rehab last February, after she exhibited bizarre behavior, including shaving her head.
Jamie Lynn Defends Britney
With a custody battle raging between Britney and Federline, the Spears women finally reunite. "Poor Jamie Lynn had to balance those two sides, her mom and her sister," a source tells PEOPLE. Days later, Jamie Lynn jumps to Britney's defense when a woman yells for Britney to move out of the neighborhood. Jamie Lynn gets between the woman and her sister, yelling a few choice words of her own (left).
Jamie Lynn Pregnant at 16
Jamie Lynn announces she's 12 weeks pregnant on the cover of OK!. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he," the teen star says of her pregnancy with boyfriend (right) Casey Aldridge's baby. Her mother Lynne adds, "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious...I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby." Her pregnancy also raises questions about her future with Nickelodeon.
- 2008
Jaime Lynn Gets Engaged & Has Baby
Days before her 17th birthday, Jaime Lynn sports a diamond ring from 18-year-old Aldridge. The newly engaged mom-to-be also buys a home in Louisiana. On June 19, with Aldridge, Britney, her parents and brother Bryan at her side, she welcomes daughter Maddie Briann.
- 2010
Moving Out and On
Jamie Lynn splits with boyfriend Casey Aldridge and moves out of their Liberty, Miss., house, with their 19-month-old daughter, Maddie. "She did a lot of growing up but he didn't," a source tells PEOPLE. "I think she put up with more than she cared to put up with." The 18-year-old single mom also finds a new man, businessman James Watson, 28.

on February 16, 2013 - 9:57 PM

The last local gap in the recreational trail along the Erie Canal will be filled in over the next few years, state officials said last week.
Construction bids for filling in the gap will be sought in October, according to Shane Mahar, deputy communications director for the state Canal Corp.
Work will begin in 2014, with a completion target date of September 2015, Mahar said.
The Canalway Trail parallels the canal, in some cases using the route of the original 19th century towpath. Today, instead of mules pulling packet boats, joggers and bicyclists fill the route in good weather.
But for many years, the idea of a nonstop path along the canal has been frustrated by an eight-mile gap between Amherst and Lockport, most of it in the Niagara County Town of Pendleton.
"There have been some issues in regard to rights of way," said Frances Gotcsik, spokeswoman for Parks & Trails New York. "All of the issues have been worked out now."
She said the project was expected to be built in the middle of the last decade, but a "funding reallocation" blocked it. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced last July, while riding in the annual "Cycling the Erie Canal" event, that funding had been restored for the Amherst-to-Lockport segment.
Pendleton Supervisor James A. Riester said the other major problem was the route through his town, which was supposed to use a lot of privately owned land.
"Some of the owners didn't like the path they had," Riester said. "Now, it will run on state property. … If they build it on state property, they can do anything they want."
The gap begins along Tonawanda Creek Road near the Amherst Museum and extends to the foot of Prospect Street in Lockport, just west of the canal locks there.
"This will be a 10-foot-wide trail. It will be asphalt," Gotcsik said. "There will be a pedestrian bridge over Tonawanda Creek and, at Prospect Street, directional signage to get the users to Locks 34 and 35."
Mahar said he didn't want to disclose the cost estimate for the job for fear of influencing the bidders for the project, but said it will cost "several million dollars."
"Once this is done, there will be 134 miles of continuous trail from Buffalo to the Village of Lyons in Wayne County," Gotcsik said.
"It's going to be huge," said David R. Kinyon, Town of Lockport economic development director and chairman of the Lockport Locks Heritage District. "The Tonawandas section of the Canalway Trail has been identified as having the highest utilization of any section of the Canalway Trail in the state. We want to open up access to the Lockport market for those hikers and bikers."
Mahar said more than three-quarters of what is supposed to be a 361-mile trail from Buffalo to Albany has been completed.
There are five other gaps in the trail. Seven miles are under construction – six miles between Newark and Lyons and one mile in Little Falls – with completion expected this year.

How a Movie from the '90s Predicted the 2012 Election
Before the first vote was cast in the 2012 presidential election, everyone was already sick of talking about the 2012 presidential election. It's almost statistically impossible that you're not sick of it at this point, when there are so many other stories to dominate the news. (Kate Middleton is having Chris Brown's neck tattoo! I think. I really only know things about movies and presidents.)
Jun Sato / Getty
People still talk about Will Smith, right? You know what? Let's just move on.
But I wanted to write this piece now, because it involves looking back on the election, and it's way more effective to understand something after it happens, not while it's happening. My goal is to put the 2012 election into context, but not historical context -- movie context. If you're anything like me, you don't understand anything unless it's pushed through the lens of pop culture (I see all of my friends as analogues of characters from either The Breakfast Club or Jurassic Park, and when I go to restaurants, I order food by saying things like "Bring me a macaroni and cheese that looks as good as the one that Kevin made but frustratingly never ate in Home Alone"). So, I'm going to tell you the story of this election via movies.
It will be weird.
Act I: Mitt Romney is the Nominee in a Wacky Fish-Out-of-Water Comedy!
See: Coming to America, The Terminal
The media's version of Romney when he first received the nomination was your classic foreign fish-out-of-water story. In movies like Coming to America, or in the Saturday Night Live "Wild and Crazy Guy" sketches, the fun comes from the fact that you've got this outsider with all of his weird and wacky customs trying to fit in in America. He talks different. His clothes are different. He doesn't understand basic human social cues. Comedy! The fun comes from watching him struggle to adjust as he misunderstands and misuses common local customs that are utterly foreign to him.
In the case of the 2012 election, Romney wasn't a foreign fish out of water; he was a robot fish.
Or alien fish.
Either way, you've got a guy so clearly out of touch with the mainstream that he barely knows how to dress like us.
"Hey y'all, what ... what are ... y'all ... doing?"
We loved his constant inability to connect to or bond with other people. We loved pouncing on his interviews and speeches, because he spoke with the kind of practiced, formal intensity of an alien trying desperately to fit in with our hu-man language -- like in November of 2011, when he strapped on the ole' mom jeans and attended one of those fake events designed to look like a casual town hall meeting with real Americans. The whole goal of these things is to affect an informal, "Hey I'm a cool substitute teacher; let me rap atcha" vibe, but it was full of Romney saying things like "Your story about dust regulation captures my interest," which, yes, is a direct quote, in an event designed to make Romney seem accessible and human. Just Google "Mitt Romney robot" and waste the rest of your afternoon questioning whether or not he actually is one. The evidence is ... fairly compelling
And that was the story for a while, in the media and among pundits and comedians. Let's watch while Mitt Romney adorably struggles to adjust to our hu-man lifestyle. But that wasn't the whole story. That was just the first act.
Gage Skidmore
And there was almost no face-hugging involved.
Act II: Mitt Romney Builds Steam in the Inspiring Underdog Sports Movie
See: Rocky, Rocky II, Rudy
There's not a whole lot of mileage to be had out of a fish-out-of-water story, and the election cycle is long, so about half way through, the media needed to change things up. They spent all of Act I beating Romney down and making fun of how silly and ridiculous and robotic he was just so they could dramatize his spectacular rise to glory in Act II, the Inspiring Sports Movie. President Obama was the seemingly unstoppable powerhouse of politics, and Romney was your scrappy, up-and-coming underdog, which is the only time that's ever been true of a middle-aged white guy who owns somewhere between three and a dozen homes.
That was the story when Romney and Obama debated for the first time, and everyone in the media was talking about how Romney surprised everyone and demolished Obama.
Fox News
"We literally ran out of cigarettes after this one."
This was the who-saw-it-coming come-from-behind victory-in-the-making that serves as the DNA for all of the best underdog sports movies. Win or lose, Romney was going to lift himself up from obscurity, overcome impossible odds and end the day as a hero. Like Rudy. Like Rocky. Like the Little Giants.
In the end, of course, it couldn't be any of those movies, because those movies didn't reflect what actually happened.
What actually happened was that Obama was always going to win this race. For starters, 51 percent of Americans liked Obama personally and his policies, and 30 percent liked him even if they didn't like his policies. Also, it's really hard to unseat an incumbent; of the 43 presidents (or 44 presidencies) we've had, the incumbent lost only 10 times. To bring things even closer to home, our own David Wong, who monitors election polls closer than anyone I've ever met, pointed out that even after a $3 billion campaign was waged, and even after Romney's "horrible 47 percent gaffe," and even after Obama's "lackluster debate performance," in two years, the polls almost never changed. Obama was the favorite to win this back in 2010, and after two years, the polls moved more in his favor by only a point and a half. Obama had this. Always.
Immediately, people are going to disagree with that concept (which is silly, because Obama did win). While there was always a chance that the president would commit some colossal blunder or mismanage a disaster or punt a baby or do anything else that might cost him the election, going strictly by polling numbers (and by listening to the guys who analyze polling data and draw conclusions professionally, who are very good at it), the president had this one in the bag. That's why a year ago the GOP was trotting out Herman Cain and Rick Perry and that other clown car of lunatics as possible candidates instead of any of the actual serious contenders. Guys like Governor Chris Christie or Jeb Bush weren't going to even pretend to run in 2012; losing to Obama meant not getting a shot to run in 2016, when they actually might have a chance of winning (depending on who the Democrats run, or if the world ends in some apocalyptic firestorm of socialized marriage and mandatory gayness by then).
That's how a guy like Mitt Romney, an inaccessible, uncharismatic, inconsistent smile-robot, gets taken seriously as a candidate. But that's a boring story, and a boring presidential election story is absolutely poisonous to political blogs and 24-hour news channels. In the way that retail stores rely on Christmas shopping to make the majority of their profits for the year, political blogs and analysts and news networks put a ton of eggs in the election basket. They need people to pay attention to them during election season, but an election that's in the bag -- an election with no inherent story -- isn't worth talking about or watching. So what do you do? You invent the story. You create a narrative. You tell the American people that a done deal is a nail-biting horse race, and you pray that they believe you. You lie.
That's why the media invented and started pushing the Rudy or Rocky narrative, the story about the goofy underdog who surprised everyone by defying the odds and becoming a real contender. Even though Rocky lost in Rocky, that still doesn't make it the perfect analogue for this election, because at least Rocky had a shot, and Romney never did. It's a great boxing movie, but it's not this election.

WHEELING - President Barack Obama wants to launch at least three more manufacturing "hubs" to spur technology innovation in business, and local lawmakers want him to know the Ohio Valley has many vacant properties available for use.
Obama said in his State of the Union address that he wants to expand his National Network for Manufacturing Innovation project, based on the success of the pilot center in Youngstown. Plans to expand include placing hubs in other communities.
"Absolutely we're looking at that" for West Virginia, said U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. "We think we have some prime locations that might be able to help now that he is wanting to expand.
"Now that they've had the success, I want to go look at what they've done in Youngstown - that's close to us, as you know - and perhaps show some sites in West Virginia," he continued. "Especially in the Wheeling area, there's Wheeling-Pitt (offices) downtown. I'm telling you there are are some prime targets. We will be doing everything we can to bring their attention to this."
Nearly one year ago, Obama announced the formation of the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, with up to 15 institutes for manufacturing innovation expected to be located around the country. The National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute was opened in August in Youngstown as the pilot center for the program.
The pilot center is focused on additive production, which is sometimes called 3-D printing. The process allows a three-dimensional, solid object of virtually any shape to be created - layer by layer - from a digital model.
A 3-D "printer" deposits thin layers of metals, plastics, ceramics or other materials precisely as directed by the digital model. It could have applications in industries such as defense, medical, aerospace, automotive and metals manufacturing. The process could allow parts to be customized on site rather than ordered and shipped to the site where they are needed.
"A once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering the 3-D printing that has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything," Obama said. "There's no reason this can't happen in other towns."
Rep. David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, expects there will be a lot of jockeying from politicians and communities hoping to land the next hub.
"What I like ... what they did in Youngstown ... they took an abandoned warehouse and brought it back to life," McKinley said. "That's exactly what has been happening in Wheeling and across the nation for years - reusing old buildings. I'm hoping that maybe we can participate.
"We understand the value. There's not a better way to look at great design and energy savings than looking at existing buildings rather than starting from scratch," he added. "Could that happen in Wheeling? Yes, it's just a matter of getting it in front of the president. I hope he will look at West Virginia and the impact he could have on this."
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said he will introduce legislation to create more of the innovation manufacturing hubs. His measure would establish public-private institutes to help "bridge the gap between basic research and product development" while leveraging investment dollars.

Despite the plethora of attention Penryn received
over the last few weeks, Intel's newest roadmaps put the processor launch
for Q1'08. This indicates the launch has not necessarily accelerated even
though the initial
tape-out proved extremely successful.
On the other hand, Intel's 2008 roadmap shows every segment simultaneously
deploying 45nm products. Like AMD's recent 65nm Brisbane
launch, Intel guidance notes the processors will start shipping Q4'07
but the actual launch will come as a coordinated 2008 event.
The first Intel 45nm treatments will come from the quad-core Yorkfield and
dual-core Wolfdale desktop processors. Wolfdale has two
physical cores on a single die and up to 6MB of L2 cache. Yorkfield is then two Wolfdale dice on a single package. Also worth
noting: Wolfdale ships with a 1333MHz front-side bus and Yorkfield ships
with a 1066MHz front-side bus. Chipset support will largely come from Bearlake-family
that was previously
disclosed on DailyTech.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about these two processors is the return of
Hyper-Threading. This, however, does not mean that Yorkfield will
appear as eight logical cores, nor does it mean Wolfdale will appear as
four logical cores. Intel's internal guidance on the subject specifically
claims the processor will ship with Hyper-Threading, but will only utilize 4
threads. On every Intel roadmap in the past, Hyper-Threading doubles the
amount of listed threads in the guidance documentation. Clearly, there is
more of a mystery here still. (Update: Please read the retraction below.)
"The official company policy is that our engineers have left the door open
for Hyper-Threading, but we cannot confirm or deny any future plans for the
technology," adds Intel Public Relations Manager Dan Snyder.
All Penryn cores also include Intel TXT, previously known as Intel LaGrande Technology. TXT stands for Trusted Execution Technology and refers to the collection of devices. The Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, is one component. DMA page protection is another.
Alas, even if 2008 seems like a long time away for the 45nm platform, it's
important to note that all Intel platforms will have 45nm SKUs in Q1'08. Penryn,
the family name for Intel's first generation 45nm consumer CPUs, also refers
specifically to the 45nm dual-core mobile CPU. Intel's current roadmap
claims this processor will lead the Q1'08 mobile push with several low voltage
models coming one quarter later.
For servers, Wolfdale will make an appearance as a dual and single
socket Xeon. It's been long-standing Intel policy to separate desktop,
mobile and server chipsets into different products; Conroe was the Core
2 desktop CPU and Woodcrest, though physically nearly identical, was the
Xeon counterpart. Wolfdale as a server and a desktop CPU indicates
the chips are electrically identical -- though each will likely receive
different packaging for the different sockets.
Yorkfield will not receive the same codenaming treatment as Wolfdale on
the server. Instead, Harpertown will be the quad-core Xeon for two
socket servers. Yorkfield will still be the company's single-socket
quad-core Xeon offering.
quote: One of the nice things about HT is that it can help hide slow memory, provided you've got enough cache
quote: HT lets you fill in unused issue width with OPs from another thread. So if you stall waiting on a cache miss (or even a cache hit) you can continue to work on another thread rather then letting the CPU grind to a halt for 10-100 clock cycles
quote: True...and in a single core environment this would (and is) usually a very good thing. But the scheduler (and apps) sees the HT virtual core as just another core. So if you are running 2 simultaneous threads, there is no method by which you can direct them to the actual core instead of the virtual core.
quote: I'm sure that you'd agree that only using a single core efficiently instead of splitting the work between 2 cores kind of defeats the purpose of dual (or more significantly quad) core chips.
quote: Ht is useful. Anybody who is computer science in knows that processor parallelism has always been the best road to take when developing a computer
quote: Problem was, Windows didn't know core 1 and core 2 were technically on the same core. So instead of assigning threads to a different core like Core 1 Core 3 THEN core 2 for HT, it crammed in two threads on a loaded processor leaving one unused
quote: To take advantage of this performance opportunity, the scheduler in the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP has been modified to identify HT processors and to favor dispatching threads onto inactive physical processors wherever possible.
quote: On a multicore chip, I can't see HT doing very much for performance until CSI and Nehalem is released in 2008/9 (remember that the bottleneck nere is the FSB).
quote: Backup what you are saying.
quote: State how much bandwidth cache coherency traffic takes up on the FSB.
quote: Ummmm....This is K8L we're talking about, not some fanciful chip that's always five years away
quote: where in the article is empirical evidence that the FSB has become saturated or is a bottleneck?
Answer: There isn't any, it's all conjecture
quote: Yeah, prove a negative, that will work
quote: Please point me to this scientific evidence you speak about.
quote: Even though I'm not the one making the statements (you are)
quote: Using Intel analysis tools, running business applications, I see FSB utilization in the 15% percent area on a dual core HP system. Running the same on a quad bumps the utilization to 18%-20%. Business applications run out of cpu long before then run out of FSB bandwidth.

Businessmen were unanimous in their support Tuesday of a proposal to redefine the traffic pattern on Delaware Avenue in the Village of Kenmore – particularly the inclusion of a turning lane in the heart of the business district.
Several of them stepped to the podium to say so during a public hearing at what turned out to be an unusually long Village Board meeting of a little more than 30 minutes.
"We're for it," said Bob Bolt, owner of Mike's Subs and president of the Kenmore Merchants Association.
The proposal, by the state Department of Transportation, calls for restriping the approximately one-mile stretch on Delaware Avenue in the village to clearly identify two 11-foot travel lanes; a 12-foot, two-way, center turn lane; and two 8-foot parking lanes.
The road, officially known as State Route 384, was designed for one travel lane in each direction within the village, but motorists often travel two abreast in the same direction.
While the DOT has asked the Village Board to adopt a resolution in order for the work to proceed, no action was taken Tuesday night.
"We could do it as early as May," said Thomas S. Messana, the regional traffic engineer for the DOT. If the change proves troublesome, he said the old pattern could be restored during the resurfacing of Delaware Avenue tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2014.
While the DOT's traffic model for the proposal takes into account current parking restrictions, Messana said some on-street parking would be lost at both ends of Delaware Avenue to accommodate the transition from two lanes of travel in each direction to one.
At the north end, parking would be eliminated on the west side of Delaware, between Eiseman and North End avenues. To the south, it would be on the east side, between East Hazeltine and Parkwood avenues.
More importantly, "The addition of the center turn lane would allow for left turns at all of the intersections," said Messana. In addition, vehicles entering Delaware Avenue from side streets could use the turning lanes to enter the flow of traffic, he said.
Mayor Patrick Mang said the inaccessibility of public parking lots behind Delaware Avenue businesses was the reason he contacted the DOT last year.
"It drove me nuts that I couldn't turn left on Lincoln [Avenue] and use free parking," he said. Noting the abundance of new businesses opening nearby, he added: "I think this will be a great addition to what has been happening in Kenmore."
A local civic group has some safety and traffic concerns, however.
"In terms of safety, what is the impact on people opening and shutting car doors?" asked Dean Pavlakis of the Kenmore Village Improvement Society.
Most vehicles are 6 feet wide, Messana responded, adding that people would need to exercise caution when opening their doors into the traffic lane.
Pavlakis also asked about bicycle traffic, which Messana said would have to share the traffic lane with motor vehicles. "Share the road" signs would be installed as part of the plan.
According to Messana, the number of vehicles traveling on Delaware Avenue during peak drive times averages less than 900 an hour. The capacity is between 1,100 and 1,200, he said.

GAVERS -Three people are dead and eight people injured following a head-on collision involving two SUVs that occurred Sunday morning on state Route 518 in Wayne Township, just west of state Route 164.
Dead are James D. Nign, 39, of East Liverpool, and his wife Meghann Nign, 27, and Addisyn Benzel, 11, of Minerva, who were among the passengers in the Chevrolet Equinox being driven by Mr. Nign.
The accident occurred about a half mile west of Gavers at 10:54 a.m. Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Joseph Dragovich said Mr. Nign was driving west on the two-lane road when his SUV was struck head-on by a Jeep Grand Cherokee operated by Rachel K. Lindesmith, 31, of Hanoverton, who went left of center.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers and lab officials record the details of a fatal crash with multiple injuries on state Route 518, just west of state Route 164 in Gavers Sunday. Three people in the 2006 Chevrolet Equinox were pronounced dead at the scene following the head-on accident, which involved two SUVs. Eight others were taken to Salem, Akron Children's and Canton hospitals and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Youngstown, with four of those being flown by STAT MedEvac to UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. Franklin Township, Salineville and West Point fire departments responded to the scene along with North Star, Tri-County and KLG Ambulances. (Photo by Patti Schaeffer)
In the back seat of Lindesmith's Grand Cherokee was her 9-month-old son Austin, who was in a car seat. Both Lindesmith and her son were taken by ambulance to the Salem Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Lindesmith, who was wearing a seat belt, was later transferred to St. Elizabeth Trauma Center in Youngstown.
There were six other passengers in the Equinox besides the Nigns and Benzel: McKenna N. Nign, 11; McKayla E. Howard, 11; Savanah D. Nign, 6; Chase D. Nign, 4; Brody B. Nign, 1; and Payslee R. Nign, 9 months old.
According to Dragovich, the Nigns were occupying the front seats, which are separated by a console, and sitting on Mrs. Nign's lap was Savanah. In the backseat in carseats were Chase, Brody and Payslee.
Riding in the cargo area of the Equinox, besides Benzel, were McKenna and Howard. The force of the impact resulted in Benzel being ejected from vehicle.
Taken by ambulance to Aultman Hospital in Canton was Howard, while McKenna was taken to Akron Children's Hospital. Flown by helicopter to UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh were Savanah, Chase, Brody and Payslee Nign.
Dragovich said the only ones in the Equinox using any restraints/seat belts were the children in the carseats.
The Equinox was heading to a family party at a roller skating rink in Minerva. Dragovich said troopers and Minerva police were dispatched to the rink to notify any of the victims' parents or relatives who might have arrived.
The stretch of road was closed until about 5 p.m. while first responders extricated the living and dead from the mangled vehicles, and assisted ambulance crews and helped set up landing zones for the three helicopters.
Assisting at the scene were the Franklin Township, Salineville and West Point fire departments. The Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency also responded and brought its incident command truck for first responders to warm themselves during the six hours they were there.
Mr. and Mrs. Nign were both members of the Calcutta Volunteer Fire Department, where Chief Scott Smith said firefighters gathered yesterday afternoon to mourn their passing and discuss plans to host a ceremony honoring their comrades.
"We're sitting just around and talking," he said, when contacted. "This is a terrible thing, to lose two people like this."
The Nigns joined the department two years ago. "They would help with anything and do anything," he said, adding that firefighters take it hard anytime one of their own dies, especially under these circumstances.
"We're like family. It's like losing a brother or sister," Smith said.
While Dragovich said they do not know at this point why the SUV went left of center, the tragic accident should serve as a reminder of the importance of wearing seat belts and the need to be alert at all times while driving, especially on the county's hilly and windy roads.

State has recovered more than 99 percent of jobs lost in national recession
BALTIMORE, MD (July 18, 2013) The U.S. Department of Labors
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released state jobs and
unemployment data earlier today. According to the preliminary
survey data, Maryland gained 4,300 total jobs in June. Marylands
private sector added 6,200 jobsthe highest private sector
job level for June since 2008. Working together, weve recovered
more than 99 percent of the jobs lost in the national recession.
Five out of six months in 2013 have posted over-the-month
job gains. With BLS revision, Marylands May jobs numbers
were revised upward to reflect a gain of 6,500 jobs.
According to the BLS, Marylands preliminary June unemployment rate increased 0.3 percentage points over-the-month
to 7 percent. With revision, Marylands May unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.7 percent.
The fact that Maryland has recovered nearly all of the jobs lost during the recession proves that the
OMalley-Brown Administration is making better choices that are delivering better results for Marylands
middle class families, said Maryland Labor Secretary Leonard Howie. The Maryland Department of Labor supports
this mission with programs like EARN Maryland, which is designed to create formal career paths to good jobs,
reduce barriers to employment and sustain growing middle class jobs.
In the private sector, the Leisure & Hospitality sector added 3,200 jobs. The Education, Health Care
& Social Assistance sector added 1,600 jobs. The Professional & Business Services sector grew by 400 jobs.
In response to the accidental release of the preliminary employment statistics for June 2013,
Secretary Leonard Howie will brief the media on the June 2013 jobs report during a conference call this evening at
5:30 p.m. Call-in number: 1-(877)-274-9107.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers,
protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of
Maryland's dynamic economy. For updates and information, follow DLLR on

Florence contains an exceptional artistic patrimony, glorious testimony to its secular civilization. Cimabue and Giotto, the fathers of Italian painting, lived here, along with Arnolfo and Andrea Pisano, reformists of architecture and sculpture, Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio, founders of the Renaissance, Della Robbia and Ghiberti, Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi; Botticelli and Uccello, the universal genius Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Their work, as well as those of many generations of artists up to the masters of this century, are in museums.
In Florence, thanks to Dante, was born on the Italian language is affirmed literary studies with Petrarca and Boccaccio; revived the ideals of humanism and the philosophy and values of classical civilization, with Machiavelli modern political science was born, with Guicciardini, historical prose, and with Galileo, modern experimental science.
Since the days of Charlemagne, Florence was a university town. Today it includes many specialized institutes and is an international cultural center. Academies, art schools, scientific institutes and cultural centers all contribute to the busy city.

Esther was lovely and made our arrival very easy, meeting us on the street and showing us the apartment. Unfortunately we found the bed extremely uncomfortable, we could feel the springs through the mattress which made for a disrupted sleep (we stayed for 3 nights). Esther provided yoghurt, cereal and croissants for breakfast which was a nice touch. The apartment could have done with a better clean.
Our stay was very nice, the apartment was clean and nice and Esther was very helpful and gave us a lot of tips for our jouney! The busses take 15min to the center but they arrive very often! Thank you for everything!! :)
Esther is a very lovely and kind person. The apartment has all the basics you need. The area is close to the city, a 20-25 min walk.
Esther is a very kind host and the room is clean, spacious and calm. It's not in the centre but really easy to get there with many different bus lines. Moreover, she has a very funny cat, Takkie, who made us laugh a lot. Would definitely come back.
Esther is an excellent host! She was very informative and received us with a warm welcome. The apartment is clean and the room was great. The location was good since you have the market and shopping center just 5 minutes away and the connection to the city center is just around the corner. She also recommended a couple of restaurants that were great! Definitely would come back and stay here again.
Our trip to Florence was great. Esther (who is a great person by the way) hosted us very well and the room was great for us. Our host can talk Dutch, French , English an German so don't be afraid about communication. The room, kitchen and bathroom was clean. There was enough space for us two and the bed was comfortable.
Besides, Florece is such a beautiful place that you won't spend much time in the apartment.
Esther is a nice person, had a relaxed time spending in Florence and in her flat. Without her good valued offer my time in florence would have been much shorter. You can reach the city center within 25 minutes on foot or just get a cheap bus-ticket in the shop right next to you leaving the doorstep. The bus stop back to her flat is right in the city center near the dome. I always started my days with a coffee and a decent breakfast which Esther has provided and a tomcat saying "buongiorno". Esther answers your questions patiently and I was able to use her oven for my last days dinner. Gracie molto!
Esther is a nice girl, the room she has for guests is fine and she gives all the explanations that you can need.
She lets you use the kitchen and the washing machine.
But the apartment is old and far from the city center.
First day the breakfast was very poor. Second day, there was no breakfast.
Esther is an anticipated hostess. You will be warm welcomed and introduced in all possibilities before and during your stay in her rooms and in Florence. She speaks English and German and of course Dutch and Italian fluenty.
The Room is some minutes away from train station S.M.N. You can go by bus or walk this distance in 15-25min- depends on your speed. Going by bus isn´t that expensive and you can buy tickets everywhere.
Her flat is clean and tidied up- great!
She has a lovely and funny tomcat.
All in one Esther and her studio is more than recommendable!!

If you left it on 24/7 how would you know it failed? Anyway the answer to your question: There are two ways to power the BlacX up or down.
1.) The cheap and simple way is to yank the power plug out of the wall plug or reinstall it.
2.) The more elegant way, but will cost you a couple of dollars, is that GE makes a small gizmo that you plug into the wall plug and then plug the BlacX into that. The GE gizmo has a small standard wall switch built into it.
You don't need the switch as far as I know. If it fails off (open), you'll know. If it fails on, you'll not see anything different happen that would lead you to believe the switch is broken.

The stimulus bill has finally passed to the tune of $789 billion. An astronomical sum certainly, which maybe even includes some much needed help on determining how high a stack of trillion $1 bills would reach into outer space or around the globe (the answer will be revealed after the next election).
More to the point, however, and perhaps of interest to the readers of this blog, the House of Representatives, approved its own version of the stimulus bill two weeks ago, and the Senate did too after a lot of back and forth. Finally, the two got put together in a compromise bill for President Obama's approval, and we'll have a look at what did make the cut and what didn't.
Overall, scientists expressed relief that the Senate did not approve a proposal that would have removed all stimulus financing for the NSF and the Office of Science in the Energy Department. Both agencies are considered crucial to basic research, which leads to technological breakthroughs.
According to an analysis by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Senate version would spend $17.8 billion on science and technology research and development, of which $10.4 billion would go to biomedical research at the NIH. The House bill, which passed two weeks ago, allocated $13.2 billion for research, of which $3.9 billion would go to the NIH.
Now let's look at what did get cut and remember, this represents a pairing down of both sides of the bill, House and Senate. Specifically, let's evaluate science funding that did get the ax in the compromise compared to the original House and Senate bills: $70 million for research into technologies with high-growth potential (who wants high growth potential anyways!); construction or renovation of science facilities worth $57 million (shameless belated lobbying: "my lab is old!"); NASA science research is down $100 million, but NASA aeronautics is up $100 million (breakeven for NASA— yay); and funding for the construction of high-monetary—sorry—high-energy physics labs got slashed by $1.54 billion, sad but not surprising in the days after the Large Hadron Collider got shut down just after it was built.
Now here is the kicker, the NSF is down $1.5 billion from the Senate version to the final version, not to mention that NSF educational activities are down another $50 million as well, according to reporting from the Wall Street Journal.
Some other items cut were $2.325 billion for broadband, $1 billion in headstart, $3.63 billion in military hospital renovations (not necessary—it's not like we are in a war), $6 billion in health prevention, $3.5 billion for higher education construction, $16 billion for school construction, and some $40 billion for state fiscal stabilization, which includes $7.5 billion of state incentive grants.
Not all is lost, though, and I particularly am heartened by the increase (yes, you read that right) in biomedical funding of the NIH—$2.7 billion for cancer, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and so forth. Then on top of that, there is an additional $6.5 billion for research in general at the NIH.
All in all I think science funding got off easy (NSF notwithstanding), but sadly I think education—both K12 and higher ed—did not, which is at odds with Obama's vision of keeping America competitive through grooming the next generation of great inventors, scientists, doctors, and businessmen.

I've long contended that the most obnoxious and indefensible manifestation of Massachusetts' nanny state tendencies came from municipal boards of health.� Most people think of the board of health as the branch of government responsible for restaurant inspections and septic system enforcement – if they think of them at all.� Board of health members – some of them, at least – think they are in charge of policing citizens' lifestyle choices and the decisions of local businesses.
Hence, the Ashland Board of Health has decided to replace the state Legislature.� Tuesday, they voted to raise the age to purchase cigarettes from 18 to 21.
There may be good reasons for raising the age. But that decision should be made by officials elected by a broad swath of the citizenry and charged with legislating.� The Ashland Board of Health is elected by a tiny percentage of the citizenry. Their charge is to enforce reasonable regulations, not determine the limits of individual freedom.

The conversation about the Gala has already started in the Schedule thread, but I thought I would start a thread specifically for the gala, and perhaps some of the mods could move those messages in here.
Although the Gala was largely restricted to those teams that finished on the overall WTT podium (i.e. America, Canada and Japan), it was a very enjoyable gala.
Firstly, I say "largely" because Peng and Zhang performed (for coming 3rd in Pairs), and Denis Ten was also invited along to the gala, and did 2 routines. In the first half, he did his current gala routine - "Singing In the Rain", while in the second half, he did his "Per Te" gala routine from last season.
The American and Japanese teams both did a group performance, and to be honest, I don't really think they worked.
Mao did her "Mary Poppins" routine, and it was as impressive as it was the rest of the season. I just wish she could have put on a similar performance in the actual competition (and in the SP at Worlds...)
Ashley got her see-through dress out again, but this time she was doing a routine to "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. To be honest, much as I like Annie Lennox, I don't really think it is a great song for a figure skating routine.
The second half started with a performance by local wee girl Kaori Sakamoto. Now, am I imagining things, or did we see her in a gala before? Because both the girl and her name were very familiar!
She was followed by a local wee fella called Sota Yamamoto. Now, I never thought I would see somebody doing a figure skating routine in an International Rescue uniform! (Suffice to say, he was skating to the "Thunderbirds" theme tune) But the biggest surprise was that it really worked as a routine! I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Before they came out on ice, the Reeds did a short speech to the crowd in Japanese. Well, Cathy did most of the speaking, with Chris getting a sentence in here and there! But, it was really cute when the pair of them spoke at the same time a couple of times. Their voices really complimented each other, and I couldnt help wondering if they could sing, as they would be good at harmonising!
Akiko was absolutely brilliant, and looked like she was really enjoying herself. After a mixed season, she is definitely back on form! Im really going to miss her when she retires!
Daisuke Takahashi finished off the second half. And I really liked the way that the encore (his 2010/11 SP) was melded into the finale. The finale started with a skate-off between him and Denis Ten, and then the rest of the cast came in.
At the end of the finale, Daisuke gave a speech, and then the cast did their bows. But before they went on their lap of honour, they all collected baskets of stuff, and started throwing the contents into the audience during the lap of honour. I have no idea what was in the baskets (sweeties?), but it was a lovely touch.
Overall, it was an enjoyable gala, and a great way to finish a really enjoyable championships.
But I still would have preferred if Adelina was there as well (Im biased as I absolutely LOVE her Burlesque gala routine). She did win the Short, after all

Danielle Fishel: Married Life is 'Awesome!'
"I keep calling him 'my husband,' " she tells PEOPLE of newlywed life. "It's awesome!"
Fishel, 32, also shared one of her favorite (and private) moments from the big day on Oct. 19.
"Tim and I went into the reception room before all the guests were let in," she says. "When I saw how beautiful it was and all the hard work I had put into it, my breath was taken away. Tim and I danced alone on the dance floor for a few minutes. We took it all in."
And the actress couldn't help but shed a few tears before the ceremony.
"I started to cry when I first started walking down the aisle," Fishel says. "It's hard to prepare yourself for the amount of love you feel in that room. I felt beautiful."
The reception was held at LA's Vibiana – decked out in Old Hollywood style – and Fishel was reunited with Boy Meets World costar Ben Savage and Home Improvement's Jonathan Taylor Thomas, with his date Emily Craft.
The happily married Fishel (who will use Belusko personally), is ecstatic about her new journey. "This is my family now," she says. "We're in this together."

HEBRON - Successful cross country runners are never satisfied.
"I'm just really frustrated," said South Range senior Tim Nichols, who finished 12th in the Division III state cross country meet in becoming the first Raider boy to stand on the podium three years.
Senior Nate Boyer also had tears in his eyes after placing 16th in Division II - the highest finish ever by an East Liverpool boy.

"I wanted it to be the best race of my life," Boyer said. "If you're not on top, it's not the best race of your life."
West Branch senior Drake Lohnes had his worst showing at state in three years, placing 42nd in Division II.
"It was a poor performance," Lohnes said. "I don't know why. I didn't run well and didn't perform well."
Fact Box
Meet notes
Even with the rain from the remnants of Hurricane Sandy this week, the course and parking lots held up.
"The course was in decent shape," Boyer said. "It had a little wear and tear from the race before."
Boyer was 10 seconds off his personal best of 16:01.
"You really can't compare courses," Thornberry said. "That's why we emphasis place over time in cross country."
It is the third state appearance for all three area standouts and they know it is all part of the game for distance runners.
"Anything can happen in this type of race," East Liverpool coach Scott Thornberry said. "At this level of competition, in any sport, the average person doesn't know what you are facing."
Boyer grabbed the 16th and final spot on the podium in Division II, completing the 3.1-mile course at National Trail Raceway in 16 minutes, 11 seconds.
He was in better spirits after stepping off the podium with a medal.
"A little bit," Boyer said.
"I could sense it was harder on him because there were people up there he's beat," Thornberry said.
Boyer was in seventh place after the opening mile before slipping back.
"I think I got trapped behind (at the start) a little bit," Boyer said. "I wanted to try to draft off the leaders and save something to try to catch them.
"I usually take it to them and they took it to me today."
Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary senior Mick Iacofano topped the 150-runner field in 15:32, knocking over a minute off his 23rd-place time last year. Defiance senior Abel Flores was the runner-up for the second straight year.
"Everyone was on top of their game today," Boyer said. "Everyone had the same game plan."
The previous best finish by an East Liverpool boy was by Mark Montgomery, who was 39th in Division I in 2002.
"He'll understand that more later on," Thornberry said.
Boyer said Saturday's race will motivate him during track season.
"I'll be back and I'll attack harder," Boyer said.
Lohnes, who nipped Boyer to win the Boardman regional meet last weekend, was 42nd in 16:37.
"I'm happy made it here, but I didn't perform today," Lohnes said. "It's pretty disappointing."
He never was able to get close to the front.
"Warming up, I kept telling myself, 'I'm fine. This is what I've put all the time this week training for,'" Lohnes said. "The start didn't go well. It didn't happen today.
"I didn't want it to end like this, but it did."
Like the others, Nichols is one of the top runners to come out of his school. He placed 12th out of 143 Division III boys runners on Saturday in 16:04, his best time in three state appearances.
"I wasn't happy with it," he said. "I had a really bad start and got boxed in."
Nichols was 11th as a junior and 15th as a sophomore.
Versailles senior Samuel Prakel repeated as the Division III state champion in 15:16, finishing 4 seconds ahead of Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas senior Cory Glines.

Bids are opened for University Hospital's vertical expansion project, including Golisano Children's Hospital
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Bids for three of the four construction contracts for University Hospital's vertical expansion project, which includes the Golisano Children's Hospital, have been opened by the State University Construction Fund (SUCF). The SUCF, the state agency responsible for the construction of the vertical expansion project, oversees construction activities at all of SUNY's non-community college campuses.
The contract for vertical expansion interior work will be bid this fall.
Before a contract is awarded, bids are subject to a due diligence review by the SUCF and the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the Office of the State Comptroller.
"We are pleased with the number of bids we have received for this key project," said Phillip S. Schaengold, JD, MBA, chief executive officer of University Hospital. "While we expected some increases in construction costs, due particularly to increases in construction materials and fuel since planning for this project began, the bids that have been opened over the last several weeks will enable this project to move forward."
Schaengold applauded the efforts of many employees who have worked on this project. "The planning that has brought us to this point has involved many employees from all across campus," he said. "I am grateful to everyone for their hard work and determination, and we are all eager to move on to the next step." Schaengold said he is confident the bid review process will go smoothly and that work on the vertical expansion could begin by September.
The state health department has approved a total project cost for the vertical expansion of $118.9 million to cover all aspects of the project, including construction management fees and equipment costs. Total cost of the project can only be ascertained after the final bid is awarded. Should the contracts and other costs exceed $118.9 million, the hospital would submit a revised budget to the state health department for approval.
The state legislature has granted University Hospital the authority to finance the construction through bonding. In addition, $21.5 million was raised during a capital campaign to help build the children's hospital portion of the vertical expansion.
The vertical expansion will be a six-story addition to be built atop University Hospital's east wing. It includes patient care floors for oncology, neurology and cardiology services and the two-story Golisano Children's Hospital of Central New York.
The low bid for the core and shell contract (the building exterior) was submitted by LeChase Construction LLC, based in Rochester, N.Y., $37,665,000. An additional bid was submitted by Northland Associates, Liverpool, N.Y., $45,755,000. Prior to bid, officials estimated the cost of core and shell at $38,117,000.
The low bid for mechanical work (plumbing, fire protection, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems) was submitted by North Central Mechanical, Victor, N.Y., $27,961,000. Additional bids were submitted by Bell Constructors, Rochester, N.Y., $29,857,000; Burns Brothers Construction, Syracuse, N.Y., $31,905,000. Prior to bid, officials estimated the cost of mechanical work at $26,949,000.
The low bid for electrical work was submitted by Ridley Electric Co. Inc., Syracuse, N.Y., $13,570,000. Additional bids were submitted by Huen New York Inc., East Syracuse, N.Y., $15,596,000; O'Connell Electric Co., doing business as Syracuse Merit Electric, East Syracuse, N.Y., $16,661,500. Prior to bid, officials estimated cost of electrical work at $11,433,000.

Politics and the IRS longtime bedfellows, says USU prof
Editor's note: Research into IRS audit patterns done by Huntsman Professor William F. Shughart II, has attracted the attention of two local newspapers The Ogden-Standard Examiner and the Salt Lake Tribune. Shughart, who is the J. Fish Smith Professor in Public Choice at USU, says his research has shown that political considerations have long influenced IRS policy, a case he made in a column published recently in Investor's Business Daily.
Salt Lake Tribune
By Lindsay Whitehurst
For one Utah State University professor, the admission that IRS agents gave extra scrutiny to groups associated with the Tea Party is no surprise.
In fact, professor William Shughart says it fits into a pattern of politics influencing the agency's practices. Shughart did a study more than a decade ago that found people were significantly less likely to be audited if they lived in a battlefield state or if their congress member was a member of the IRS oversight committee.

NEWELL-If the Homer Laughlin China Co.'s semiannual Tent Sale is any indication, Fiesta's place on America's dinner tables is secure.
People came from as far away as Texas, Nebraska and Michigan on Thursday for the opening day of the fall Tent Sale, which saw approximately 1,000 people queue up for deep discounts on Fiesta dinnerware.
"It's all I use," said Nancy McDaniel, of New Boston, Texas. "I have other dishes, but I use the Fiesta. ... We like all the pretty colors."

McDaniel and her husband, David, come to just about every Tent Sale-in June and October-and usually take away enough stuff to fill a 30-foot trailer. On Thursday, they left with $10,000 worth of Fiesta, first- and second-quality, in their pickup truck.
Like so many Tent Sale regulars, the McDaniels don't think twice about traveling long distances to get half off, or more, on their favorite Fiesta colors and shapes.
"That's the main reason we come," Nancy McDaniel said. "You find a wide variety-and sometimes something unusual."
McDaniel said the Tent Sale also is a time to see old friends-other regulars who come from Florida, Connecticut, Tennessee, Alabama and elsewhere. "It's kind of fun to come back and talk to them and visit with them," she said.
The McDaniels have been coming to the Tent Sale since 1999, although their use of Fiesta dates back to 1986, the year Homer Laughlin reintroduced the popular design with contemporary colors.
Carmen Steffen, 42, of Hartington, Neb., a newcomer to the Tent Sale, had that glazed look in her eyes on Thursday as she sorted through dinner plates and filled up another plastic crate. "It's amazing," she said, jockeying for position among the other shoppers.
Steffen said she learned about the Tent Sale from friends in Toronto, Ohio, whom she visited this week. She has a couple Fiesta pieces at home and was hoping to get a good deal on some place settings.
Amy Hogan, of Lake Orion, Mich., came with her mother, Mary Jo Donofrio, on Thursday for her third Tent Sale, partly to replace a Fiesta butter dish broken by her Great Dane.
"I'm buying Christmas presents," Hogan said. "Plus some people in my office asked me to pick up some pieces, so I'm stocking up. I always like to get the new colors that come out."
Hogan said her latest favorite color is Peacock, a bright blue introduced in 2005. "Who needs china when you can have Fiesta?" she said.
For Homer Laughlin, one of largest employers in the tri-state area, the three-day Tent Sale is a form of controlled chaos that pays dividends beyond the extra cash registers needed.
Community good will is generated when charities benefit from the Fiesta gift basket raffle, said Dan Williams, Homer Laughlin director of marketing. This year, the charities are: the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northern West Virginia, Court Appointed Special Advocates, and the Hancock County Animal Shelter.
Raffle tickets are $5 apiece, and the prize is a $500 gift basket of Fiesta dinnerware. Proceeds from the raffle will be split evenly three ways, Williams said.
Homer Laughlin also donates money to churches and other non-profit organizations that provide volunteer labor for the Tent Sale, in addition to employing college students over those three days.
Nathan Schonhut, 26, of East Liverpool, spent about 12 hours on Thursday collecting milk crates, packing crates and helping customers. "We do a little bit of everything-whatever they ask us to do," he said. "It's crazy."
Schonhut is studying computer technology at the East Liverpool campus of Kent State University and learned about the job opportunity from a bulletin board notice.
Bargain hunters started arriving for this year's fall sale as early as Monday, camping out at Clarke Field. Shoppers form a line near the end of Fiesta Drive, many of them equipped with dollies or wagons. Each is given a ticket, which helps "preserve a sense of order" and provides Homer Laughlin with an accurate count, Williams said.
Seventy-five people are permitted to approach the tent at a time. A gatekeeper then takes the tickets, spacing out the shoppers so that the tent doesn't get too crowded.
"It works out for a lot of folks that come to the Tent Sale because they're able to get these items that normally would go for much higher prices," Williams said.
The Tent Sale was founded about 20 years ago by Pat Shreve, manager of the Outlet Store, as a way to dispose of second-quality Fiesta dinnerware, Williams said. Originally attached to the Clay Festival in Newell, it now is a much-anticipated, stand-alone event.
"What we do at the Tent Sale is clear out all the items that don't meet first-quality standards," Williams said. "If there is so much as a discoloration at the bottom of a cup, that won't meet our quality standards. ... A lot of folks take a look at our seconds and say, 'I don't see anything wrong with this at all.' "
Some try, though. Many shoppers can be seen wearing gloves as they handle the dinnerware, looking for flaws.
From 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, children will be able to participate in a Paint-a-Plate event in which they decorate a piece of pottery and have it fired at the Homer Laughlin plant.
