I think instilling positive body image, especially in girls, has to be our goal as parents. And in our society it's certainly not the easiest task.
Very sweet photo of little Ivy. :)
exactly the same thing I hope my little girl always knows.ReplyDelete

She might. My mom did a phenomenal job of convincing me that I am beautiful and intelligent. I was well into my 20s before it ever occurred to me that I might not be. And by the time you're that age? It's just not as big a deal. So keep faith; little Ivy might always know she's lovely after all =)ReplyDelete

The One Man GangPhoto courtesy: WWE
By Kevin Hunsperger
@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
When I was young and watching World Class Championship Wrestling, I remember very vividly a mountain of a man hailing from Halsted Street in Chicago. He had a mohawk with skull tattoos on either side of his head. He wore black ring attire with skulls on the shoulders, a denim vest, and a long chain. He was the One Man Gang.
Gang was a member of Skandar Akbar's Devastation Incorporated as well as Gary Hart's dynasty. At more than 400 pounds, he squashed many of his competitors. But it wasn't always a walk in the park for him. I remember his struggles against my favorites, like Kerry Von Erich (who slammed the big man and pinned him in order to shave Gary Hart's head) and King Kong Bruiser Brody. As you might imagine, a huge brawl ensued between the two beasts.
Gang eventually moved on to the UWF and picked up that company's heavyweight title. He had classic matches with the likes of Terry Gordy and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Once he prepared to jump ship and head north to the WWF, Gang dropped the title to Big Bubba Rogers (his future tag team partner in the Twin Towers).
The Gang in the WWFPhoto Courtesy: WWE
Gang fit in immediately in the WWF. He was a mammoth among men. It didn't take long for him to get a shot at Hulk Hogan's WWF title. Although he came up short, I was impressed that someone from little ol' WCCW was hanging with the best the WWF had to offer. He squashed "Superstar" Billy Graham, forcing him to retire. Gang also feuded with Don Muraco and earned a spot in the WWF Title Tournament at Wrestlemania IV. He was disqualified in his match against the eventual winner "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
With Slick by his side, One Man Gang seemed nearly unstoppable. But in the fall of 1988, he underwent an awkward transformation and became known as Akeem the African Dream. I'll share about my thoughts on that in a future post.
Gang & Sullivan 1991Photo courtesy: WWE
Today, I wanted to focus on the beast known as the OMG, who eventually resurfaced again after his WWF tenure ended. In WCW he and Kevin Sullivan ran rough shot over the competition. This was a throwback to the Gang of old, the joke of Akeem was long in the past. Even though that tenure didn't last long, OMG did return again in 1995 and won the U.S. Title. He held it for a short time before dropping it to Konnan.
Gang has made sporadic appearances since then, including a mark out moment for me when he teamed with Demolition at Chikara's King of Trios tournament in 2008. Even though they didn't make it out of the first round, it was great to see some blasts from the past join forces in the wacky world of Chikara.

Doctor guilty in 3 babies' deaths
May 14, 2013
PHILADELPHIA — An abortion doctor was convicted Monday of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his......
This man should be executed, his life for the lives of those he killed.

I hope the jurors will be able to erase the images and words from their minds so they don't have to live with this brutality the rest of their lives.

Hearing the description of the crimes this guy is accused of committing is enough to make me positively sick. How could this Doctor contend that what he was doing was legal? For all of the "Pro-Choice" advocates out there, should these women that sought out Gosnell knowing he would perform late term abortions be charged as well?

Now, the highly anticipated movie adaptation of his latest novel, The Fault in our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, is rocking the box office as it hurtles toward a whopping $60 million opening weekend, according to early estimates.
Here are five things you need to know about America's hottest author.
1. His roots grow books.
Green set three of his novels in locations where he was raised. The author was born in Indianapolis – TFIOS takes place there – and later lived in Amsterdam, where the movie was filmed. He also grew up in Orlando, the setting for Paper Towns, and attended Indian Springs School in Alabama – the boarding school that inspired Looking for Alaska's Culver Creek.
2. He's easily moved to tears.
"I'm an emotional guy. I cried almost every day on the set," Green tells PEOPLE. "I cried because it was so overwhelming that all of these really talented people are bringing so much passion and so much talent to the story that I've written and giving it a new life. I was overwhelmed with gratitude the whole time."
James Bridges / 20th Century FOX / AP
In 2007, Green and his brother Hank created the YouTube channel VlogBrothers, which now has over 2.1 million subscribers. They later founded Vid Con, which became the largest video convention in the world. Hank also won a 2012 Emmy for original interactive program for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
4. There are more movies in his future.
Paper Towns was picked up by Fox 2000 studio and will star TFIOS' Nat Wolff. The screenplay is being written by TFIOS scribes Mike Weber and Scott Neustadter.
5. He asked President Obama to name his second child.
Four months before Green's daughter Alice was born last year, Google+ hosted a "Fire-side Hangout" session to discuss President Obama's most recent State of the Union address. During the chat, Green's wife, Sarah, asked the president if he preferred the name Eleanor or Alice. The president opted to remain neutral in support of whatever name the couple chose.

A Grand Island man stands accused of terrorizing several elderly women who live alone on the island during break-ins over the last several months, Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard Tuesday.
Justin W. Slaiman, 30, of Baseline Road, faces Town Court proceedings today. He has been arrested on multiple felony charges and is under investigation for other burglary cases dating back to March, the sheriff said.
Sheriff's detectives accused Slaiman of terrorizing an elderly Grand Island woman by repeatedly and methodically stealing sentimental and valuable items from her home and pawning them at local pawn shops.
In mid-August, Howard said, Slaiman brazenly smiled at the elderly woman as he placed a ladder near her laundry room window, but fled in haste, leaving his burglary tools for sheriff's deputies, who arrived to find the trembling woman after a 911 call. Slaiman had broken into the home by using a 12-inch blade to slash through a screen in the woman's laundry room, deputies reported.
Slaiman was taken into custody Tuesday near his home by detectives and road patrol deputies. Among the items he is accused of stealing from the elderly woman, and pawning with limited success, include military memorabilia of her loved ones, various types of scrap metal he stole in other break-ins and sentimental artifacts, Howard said.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
On May 13, 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved VELCADE� (bortezomib) injection (Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients who have received at least two prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.
The FDA reviewed the application for VELCADE in less than four months. VELCADE is the first in a new class of anticancer agents known as proteasome inhibitors. It was approved under the accellerated approval program. The program helps make promising products for serious or life threatening diseases available earlier in the development process by allowing approval to be based on a promising effect of the drug, such as tumor shrinkage, before there is actual evidence of improved survival or other clinical benefit. The drug�s commercial sponsor worked closely with the FDA to define the studies that would be conducted. The following is excerpted from the Millennium press release announcing the FDA approval of VELCADE:
Cambridge, Mass., May 13, 2003 Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market VELCADE for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients who have received at least two prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy. The effectiveness of VELCADE is based on response rates. There are no controlled trials demonstrating a clinical benefit such as an improvement in survival. VELCADE, the first of a new class of medicines called proteasome inhibitors, is the first treatment in more than a decade to be approved for patients with multiple myeloma - a cancer of the blood.
"The FDA approval of VELCADE represents a major advance in our fight against multiple myeloma," said Kenneth Anderson, M.D., from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Mass. "With its new and unique mechanism of action of inhibiting the proteasome, VELCADE is different from traditional chemotherapies and represents a new treatment option for patients."
"Millennium was established with the goal of using innovative science to develop novel products that would address the unmet medical needs of patients," said Mark Levin, chief executive officer and chairperson of Millennium. "Our success in bringing VELCADE to patients so rapidly reflects the high level of collaboration among many partners, both internally and externally. Moving forward, Millennium will continue its mission of developing breakthrough products that make a difference in patients' lives."
VELCADE and proteasome inhibition represent a completely new approach to treating multiple myeloma. The development of this product is based on the Company's deep understanding of cancer disease pathways and the effect of proteasome inhibition on those pathways. The proteasome is an enzyme complex that exists in all cells and plays an important role in degrading proteins that control the cell cycle and cellular processes. By blocking the proteasome, VELCADE disrupts numerous biologic pathways, including those related to the growth and survival of cancer cells.
To learn about the development of Velcade�, read the interview with the doctor who discovered the drug, Julian Adams, PhD.

Security challenges and solutions in respect of mobility
Today, mobility is the new desktop: More and more companies offer several options for employees to work outside their regular offices, namely to work on portable devices like laptops, smartphones, tablets and the like. This is not only true for big companies, but also for mid-size and smaller companies. In Germany, every fifth company takes extensive advantage of mobility and 50% of their staff is at least one day in the week not in front of their pc, meaning they are on the road. As a matter of fact, mobility is the fastest growing industry in the history of IT. With the help of mobility solutions, executives, for example, have access to reporting at a fingertip, so that the constant nagging of middle management becomes almost superfluous.Mehr

There are approximately 30 STIs that are now identified. STIs are more common than colds and flu. It is estimated that approximately 9 million teens and young adults ages 15 to 24 will be newly infected with an STI this year. Compared to adults, sexually active teens and young adults are at a higher risk for getting STIs, mostly due to what they do, how their bodies function and the pressure that is put on them to be sexually active (Source: CDC, Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance, 2006)
An STI is an infectious condition that is passed from one person to another person during sexual activity. This includes anal, oral, and vaginal sex, and in some cases intimate skin-to-skin contact.
Bacterial STDs/STIs are curable if properly diagnosed and treated by a doctor. People with curable STIs may not receive the proper medical treatment because they don't know they are infected.
Viral STDs/STIs cannot be cured, but sometimes the symptoms can be treated. Viral STIs can be transmitted during sexual activity even if no symptoms of disease are present.
What are the possible results of an STD/STI?
- Pain
- Damage to organs
- Damage to unborn babies
- Infertility
- Cancer
- Embarrassment
- Miscarriages
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
What is the difference between an STI and an STD?
When we hear the term STD and STI, they are often used interchangeably. STI is a sexually transmitted infection. Bacteria, viruses, and other parasites can enter the body during sexual contact with another person who carries these germs (also known as pathogens). People can pass on these pathogens without even knowing it because in many cases there are no symptoms. These pathogens (germs) get into the body and multiply in numbers but they do not cause any visible symptoms. In other words, a person may be totally unaware that they have an infection.
Over time, depending on the strain of the bacteria, virus, or protozoa, these infections can cause visible damage or symptoms and this is then known as a disease. Most people with an STD (sexually transmitted disease) will know it because symptoms show up.
Not all STIs (sexually transmitted infections) cause STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). But an STD came from an STI. (Source: The Medical Institute for Sexual Health, Nov. 2011)

It's monkeys riding on dogs! Come on, who wouldn't want to watch that?
Few things represent minor league baseball hi-jinx more than the Cowboy Monkeys, the awesomely unique show that performed Monday night at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
Yes, the dogs and monkeys do have names. The dogs are Dot, Shot, Bob and Rocker, and the monkeys are Sam, Bubba and Meglynn.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
One of the Cowboy Monkeys herds sheep between innings of Monday's Curve doubleheader.
No, the monkeys are not tied onto the dogs, which makes it pretty impressive that they're able to hang on as they perform their show of herding sheep.
We've seen a lot of goofy traveling entertainment acts visit Curve games over the years, and while most are funny, over time, the been there, done that feeling sets in watching them.
But everyone loves dogs. And everyone loves little monkeys.
Talk about a golden idea.
The Cowboy Monkeys performed two brief skits during Monday's doubleheader, then put on their main show after the games ended - at about 11 p.m.
A good portion of the crowd of 4,117 stuck around to watch the show, including hundreds of kids. A number of Curve players and coaches also stayed in the dugout to watch the show, and the cutest moment occurred when one of the monkeys gave a little kiss to second baseman Jarek Cunningham's 13-month-old toddler.
Strangely enough, when Cowboy Monkeys owner and on-field narrator Tim Lepard was first approached to perform at a minor league game six years ago, he said no. Now, he's doing more than 120 shows a year (32 in the minors this year), and one of his NFL stops will be at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh later this year to perform during a Steelers game.
"I had no idea it would be like this," Lepard said of his show's incredible popularity.
A&E is filming a documentary about the Cowboy Monkeys that will air later this year. In an industry where furry mascots try to make people laugh at ballgames, all it took was a guy who's been doing rodeos for 36 years to come up with a refreshing, genuinely unique show.
"I know the animals are very popular, and I take care of my animals," said Lepard, who makes his home in Pontotoc, Miss., although he's rarely there because of the demand for his shows. "This is a blessing from God because of what I do out here and the people I see."
Lepard's 8-year-old daughter, Lakelynn, travels with him doing shows throughout the summer, and their father-daughter bond is really the best story about the Cowboy Monkeys.
The little girl has a big Southern drawl and is the sweetest child. I was spending a few minutes talking to her dad beyond the right field wall Monday, and out of nowhere she brought me a chair so I could sit down. How many 8-year-olds would do that for a complete stranger?
"She thinks about other people more than she does herself," Tim said, beaming with pride.
Lakelynn gets to see the country, visiting places like the Grand Canyon, DisneyWorld and Mall of America, but make no mistake, she understands her daddy is working hard traveling so much to bring joy to so many.
"He's really in pain," the little girl said, "and it cheers him up and he doesn't hurt no more when the crowd starts cheering."
Tim Lepard doesn't know how much longer he can handle traveling so much and doing so many shows. He's making good money with the Cowboy Monkeys, you can be sure (popular traveling acts in the minor leagues can command several thousand dollars a night), but his body is sore and he misses not being home much.
His eyes sparkle, though, when talking about getting to spend all this valuable time with his daughter and showing her the country.
"This girl has learned from experience," Tim said. "In school she got the citizenship award, and only two kids got it. She was on honor roll. She does so well adapting to the people, and it has helped her tremendously being out here on the road. What a learning experience."
Lakelynn took the field with her dad during Monday's show, and when given the microphone, she proclaimed that her dream is to grow up and be a veterinarian.
"I never thought that my dad was going to do this," she said of their show. "It's really fun. I'm lucky to be me."
Seeing monkeys riding on dogs is pretty cool. But there's always more going on behind the scenes than the public gets to see, and in the case of the Cowboy Monkeys, it's a man who has a tougher personal life than most people realize, but one who's thankful he has his little girl along for the ride to enjoy it.

A Jackson County judge has ordered a man to spend seven years in prison for hitting a hay wagon with his truck.
The wagon was loaded with people on a hayride when Kaylon Childers struck it in Oak Grove in 2011. Two children suffered critical injuries and several other people were hurt.
Childers was driving with a revoked license at the time of the crash. Police said he was drunk at the time of the wreck and had four previous drunken driving convictions.
The judge ordered Childers to serve seven years in prison on each of four counts of assault, but said the sentences could run concurrently.

Little Grayson Clamp's eyes widened with excitement as the 3-year-old listened to the words his father has yearned for him to hear since he and wife Nicole adopted him as a baby.
"Daddy loves you," Grayson's father, Len Clamp, said sweetly as the Charlotte, N.C., toddler pointed and gasped in awe.
The words came as clinicians at the University of North Carolina tested out the auditory brain stem implant they inserted in Grayson last month. He is the first child in the U.S. to receive the implant, which required brain surgery and is part of an FDA investigational device trial.
"I've never seen a look like that today," an exuberant Len Clamp told WRAL of Charlotte after the successful test.
"He looked deep into my eyes and he was hearing my voice for the first time. It was phenomenal," said the dad, "to see him take that sound in and try to figure out 'What in the world is this, I've never had this sensation before.' "
Yet it's a sensation his parents hoped he would experience ever since they took Grayson home from the hospital, first as his foster parents – after they decided to foster medically fragile children – and soon as his forever family.
"We got Grayson, took him home from the hospital, and he belonged. He was ours, I think, from day one," Len Clamp told Charlotte station WBTV.
Today, Grayson's microchip still needs fine-tuning, and his family is still not entirely sure what he hears and what he doesn't, but they are grateful for the strides he has already made and delighted in his initial reactions to his new hearing world.
"He likes sound. He enjoys the stimulus, the input," his mom, Nicole, told WBTV. "He definitely enjoys it."

It isn't all doom and gloom like some think it is. Will there be growing pains this season? Most certainly. But the Wings are still a team that will make the playoffs. With the right moves along the way, anything can happen. There is a long summer ahead of us yet.
Sure we need some luck on our side. But we are by no means on the way out. Go for an above average shut down defenseman, and trade for a high end top 6 winger, and we'll be fine. Healthy seasons from Eaves, Cleary, and Sammy can possibly each get the Wings 20+ goals. Give Smith a chance to log 20+ minutes and let him grow. Other teams give their kids a chance and it pays off. Why can't it for us? Quincey will be better starting with us right from camp. Ericsson will be better. Kronwall has been known to step it up in Lidstroms absence, so he'll need to be great for us to. Sure a lot of things need to go right, but it isn;t the end of the world. Kronwall/Smith/White will be on the PP. Let E/Quincey/Sammy duel it out for that final PP point man. Focus on the PK for now. MAybe the Monster will settle in nicely and have a breakout year in the NHL. IF not, a healthy Howard playing like the first half of last year will steal us games. I like our tandem there.
Tootoo as a wreckingball will rub off on guys like Abby, Ericsson and Eaves. It will make us tougher to play aginst. Has the team gotten worse than last season? Yes. But we'll be a different team. And as long as they are tougher to play against, things can work out fine.
If guys stay healthy, we'll have a lot more depth up front than last season. The D did take an obvious hit. With Suter they wouldn't fully recover from that. The focus now should be one guy who can log a lot of PK minutes to improve us there. Landing a Nash or a Ryan will make us deadly up front. A couple moves and we'll have no trouble being in the playoff picture. Wait until the trade deadline to pick up that defenseman to put them over the top.
There is a lot of talent on this team, and a lot of pride. They will not just roll over and die. Kronwall, Filppula, Ericsson, Nyquist, Eaves, Cleary, and Smith will all need to have bigger impacts this coming season. And there is also a whole lot of summer to go yet.
Look at LA. they were barely in it all season long, made a couple moves at the deadline, and cruised their way to the cup. I'm never gonna give up on the Wings. And I am confident that come the end of the season, the pieces will be in place to make a decent run of it. Sure a lot of things need to go their way. But this is the Detroitf****** Red Wings we're talking about here. End rant.
While I agree with a chunk of points I will say this, if the wings do trade for a Ryan or a Nash all those points about the depth producing will be moot because we'll have traded them to get one the big name forwards. (especially Nash).
Plus finding an above average defenseman is a lot easier said than done. If there was an above average ufa dman available I'm pretty sure kh would have signed him today. If they try to get one via trade that's just more depth heading the other way. It's a tough position right now for the wings and I'm not sure there is a clear answer out there to get this team where we all want them to be. Just my opinion tho

Withdrawing from Courses | Holds | Class Attendance | Credit/No Credit Option | Directed Studies | Auditing Courses | Academic Load | Graduation | Academic Advising | General Information
One credit hour is given for one 50-minute class per week for 14 weeks or equivalent. Most courses at the college vary from 2 to 4 credit hours.
Certain courses at the college have prerequisites. The prerequisites for a course are listed in the academic catalog, the class schedule, and the course syllabus. Students are permitted to pre-register for a course that has prerequisites provided the prerequisite coursework is in progress at the time of the registration session. Only grades of C- or better are considered to satisfy prerequisite requirements. Students are responsible for making sure they have met prerequisites and grade standards prior to the beginning of each semester. The college reserves the right to withdraw a student from any course for which prerequisites and grade standards have not been met.
For Fall and Spring registration, students are registered in order of class standing at the time the registration session begins. Registration for May/Summer is on a first come, first served basis. Students are notified by postcard what their class standing is and their dates to register. Registrations are accepted via the college's web system (WebAdvisor) or in person.
Registration for Fall Semester occurs in March.
Registration for Spring Semester occurs in October.
Registration for May/Summer Terms occurs in February.
May term is offered for undergraduate students during the month of May as a short, interim term between Spring and Summer semesters. May term is designed to help students fulfill upper division elective requirements, as well as to offer unique courses where students can gain in-depth knowledge of interesting topics in classes which are not offered during a regular semester. May term also gives instructors the opportunity to teach courses that devote focused attention to a subject that emphasizes their areas of expertise. May term classes are typically two credits, and meet for six hours in class each week.
In addition to regular course offerings, we also offer several international and domestic study tours each May term under the direction of Westminster faculty. May term trips have taken Westminster students to places such as southern Utah, California, New York, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China, and many countries in Europe. The cost of these trips is not included in May term tuition.
Students can apply their earned May term credits to either the May term or to the Summer semester. Payment of full-time tuition for Fall and/or Spring semesters earns two hours each, for a possible total of four hours. To apply 2 earned hours to the Summer semester, students must register for a minimum of three total credit hours. To apply 4 earned hours, students must register for 6 or more credit hours.
Students may register until the end of the first full week of classes. Specific dates are listed in the Academic Calendar. Beginning with the first day of classes, students must obtain instructor permission to enroll in any classes by obtaining the instructor's signature on an Add Card.
Students can check their schedule and print a confirmation at any time via the web using WebAdvisor, or they may come to the Registrar's Office during office hours to receive a copy. Students are expected to check these confirmations carefully and report discrepancies to the Registrar's Office. The computerized confirmation reflects the courses for which the student is actually registered.
Once a class has closed, a student has the option of being put on a wait list for that class. As space becomes available, students are added in the class automatically by the Registrar's Office during the pre-registration period. Once classes begin, a student must turn in an add card with the instructor's signature in order to be officially enrolled in the class. Although many students get into their classes from the wait list, students are encouraged to choose alternate courses whenever possible.
Students may add courses until the end of the first full week of classes. Specific dates are listed in the Academic Calendar. Beginning the first day of classes, students must obtain instructor permission before adding and can no longer add courses via the Web (WebAdvisor).
Students may withdraw from classes without penalty before the second full week of classes. Students may still withdraw from classes through the eleventh week of class and receive a W, which does not affect a student's GPA. Students who withdraw after these dates receive a grade of WF, which is calculated as an F in the GPA.
Specific withdrawal deadlines are listed in the Academic Calendar. In case of illness or injury, family members may complete the student withdrawal from the college. In case of duress or special need, an administrative withdrawal may be initiated by the Dean of Students.
Students who fail to withdraw from courses they have not attended are liable for all tuition and interest charged to their accounts. Grades of F are assigned at the end of the semester for any classes that students fail to drop.
Students who are unable to complete a semester due to serious health problems and who are not eligible for grades of incomplete may request a medical withdrawal. Students seeking a medical withdrawal should contact the Dean of Students. Written verification from a physician or licensed mental health professional will be required. A medical withdrawal usually constitutes withdrawal from all courses for the semester, and withdrawals are made retroactive only to the last date of attendance. Requests for medical withdrawals must be submitted within six weeks after the end of the semester in question. If a medical withdrawal is granted, reevaluation by the student's physician or counselor may be required prior to re-registration.
The college may place administrative holds for students with outstanding financial obligations, overdue library books, library fines, bad checks, or other obligations to the college. Once a hold has been placed, students may be prevented from registering or obtaining diplomas or official transcripts until the obligation is met. Unofficial informational transcripts are available in the Registrar's Office and on the campus web site (WebAdvisor).
Students are expected to attend all sessions of each class. Specific attendance requirements are established by each instructor, and such requirements are enforced by the college. Students who do not attend class during the first week may be considered "no-shows" and dropped from the course by the instructor to make room for students on wait lists; however, it cannot be assumed that all instructors will do so. Students are ultimately responsible for making sure they have dropped courses that they do not plan to attend.
Students must elect the credit/no credit (CR/NC) option by the deadline posted in the Academic Calendar, approximately nine weeks after classes begin. The credit-no credit option may not be changed after the deadline. Courses taken CR/NC may not be applied to the major or the minor. Students who later declare a major or minor that includes a course they took CR/NC may be required by the program to repeat the course. See Credit/No Credit Option under the Grading and Academic Standards section of this catalog for details.
A completed Application for Permission to take a Directed Studies Course form, signed by the instructor and School Dean, must be submitted to the Registrar's Office. (Undergraduate directed studies courses are numbered 401; Graduate Program directed studies courses are listed in the Academic Catalog.)
Students may elect to audit courses at Westminster according to the guidelines listed below. Courses that are entered on students' permanent records as audited (AU) earn no credit and fulfill no requirements.
Students may register for a regular audit (one-half of credit tuition) according to the following guidelines:
Students who graduated from Westminster and who are not currently pursuing a degree may register for an Alumni Audit ($100 per class, plus a $50 technology fee for Fall or Spring semesters) according to the following guidelines:
|Full time
|Half time
|Less than half time
|5 or fewer
|Maximum for students on probation
|Full time for students with financial assistance
|Full time for students with veterans' benefits
|Minimum for international students
|Full time
|Maximum number of hours
|Full time
(Financial Aid requires 12 hours for full-time status.)
|Maximum recommended number of hours
Graduate Students
|Full time
|7 or more
|Half time
|Less than half time
|3 or fewer
Students who wish to register for more than the maximum number of hours must have at least a 3.0 GPA. Students who wish to take more than 20 credit hours in a regular semester (fall or spring) must also have the permission of their academic advisor and the dean of the appropriate school.
Candidates for graduation should apply to the Registrar's Office two regular semesters prior to their planned completion date. Students can apply for December, May, or August graduation dates. Application deadlines are posted in the Academic Calendar in the fall semester.
To apply for graduation, students must obtain degree audits for all academic programs, including the honors program. Graduation applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Students are expected to meet with their academic advisors to review and sign all required paperwork. Paperwork that is unsigned or incomplete will be returned to the student. Candidates are notified of remaining degree requirements and their status within four weeks after applying for graduation.
To be eligible for a bachelor's degree, students must satisfy the following conditions:
Note: Only letter grades of C- or better may be presented to satisfy major, minor, or LE requirements (with the exception of Nursing, which requires a grade of C or better; and Education, which requires a grade of C+ or better in all education classes).
The final responsibility for being informed about, and adhering to, graduation requirements rests with the individual student.
A minimum of one hundred twenty-four (124) credit hours of college work is required for graduation. Forty (40) hours of this number must be earned in upper division courses (courses numbered 300 and above). Although some lower division transfer coursework from two-year institutions may be accepted as meeting upper division major requirements, these hours will not be counted toward the 40 upper division hours required for graduation. Students with 123.51 or more hours have completed the quantity standard for graduation.
Students must present a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all work completed at the college. Students must present a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.3 in their major unless otherwise specified in the major program. Students should check their major programs for grade point average requirements.
Honors are awarded to undergraduate students only upon graduation and are determined as follows:
Summa Cum Laude 3.85 cumulative grade point average or higher
Magna Cum Laude 3.75 cumulative grade point average (up to but not including 3.85)
Cum Laude 3.50 cumulative grade point average (up to but not including 3.75)
Important note: Grade point averages are not rounded in order to achieve honors. If a student has a final cumulative grade point average of 3.499, Westminster College will not award honors upon graduation. Similarly, if a student qualifies for honors and has a 3.849 cumulative grade point average, they will be awarded Magna Cum Laude and will not have their GPA rounded up to achieve Summa Cum Laude status.
Honors noted in the Commencement program are based upon the grade point average at the end of the spring semester. Honors designations noted in the program are subject to change based on the calculation of final grade point averages for students attending May and Summer terms.
Completing 60 hours of coursework at Westminster with letter grades and achieving a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.50 or higher (as noted above).
Transferring in with a transfer cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or above and completing 35 hours of coursework with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above at Westminster. Note: The Registrar will re-calculate grade point averages from all institutions and will include any recently taken coursework to determine your final transfer grade point average.
Westminster College does not rank its students.
The Dean's List is an academic honor list computed after fall and spring semesters. To qualify for the list, students must complete at least 12 graded credit hours and achieve a 3.5 GPA or higher for the term. Courses graded credit/no credit are not counted toward the 12 hours.
The commencement ceremony is held in late May or early June. All students who complete requirements for graduation and are entitled to receive degrees are required to be present at the commencement exercises. Students who, due to extenuating circumstances, are unable to attend must request that they be excused. Requests must be made in writing to the Registrar's Office.
December and April graduates will receive their diplomas following the ceremony. Students attending May term will receive diplomas mid-June. August graduates completing their degree requirements during the summer term may attend the preceding spring ceremony but will not receive diplomas until mid-August.
Academic advising is crucial to Westminster College's student-centered mission. It is a developmental process during which advisors (faculty, staff, and peer) work with individual students to create curricular choices designed to match the student's life and career goals. In partnership with students, advisors will:
All first-year and new transfer students receive individualized academic advising in the START Center after admission to Westminster. All freshmen participate in a unique educational development program called Pathfinder, designed to help them make the transition to college. Each May, new students meet with advisors to learn about college and departmental resources, program requirements, explore educational alternatives and select courses.
Continuing students receive academic advising in the START Center or choose a faculty advisor. By the junior year, students must formally declare a major and meet with a faculty advisor in their academic programs. Faculty advisors work with students to map out remaining requirements and plan course sequencing to graduation. These advising sessions generally:
During Fall and Spring semesters, final exams take place during the final week of the semester. A schedule listing the dates and times of exams can be found on the Registrar's Office website at http://www.westminstercollege.edu/registrar/. Students are responsible for knowing the correct day and time a final exam will be offered. Students with conflicting exams are also responsible for talking to their instructors to create an alternate schedule.
Students can use WebAdvisor to search and register for classes, view and print class schedules, print unofficial transcripts, print degree audits, change their address, and pay tuition. WebAdvisor requires a login name and password, which can be obtained through the Information Services department.
ANGEL is Westminster's online learning management system. It includes online tools such as syllabi, discussion boards, electronic reserves and more. Students and faculty are automatically loaded into their ANGEL courses at the start a semester.
Each student is provided with a GroupWise e-mail account when they are accepted as a student. This campus e-mail system provides the e-mail address of all the students, staff, and faculty at Westminster. We encourage students to check their campus e-mail frequently because important information is sent to students via e-mail, such as registration deadlines, campus events and activities, or general school announcements. Instructors also use GroupWise to contact students with specific class information. For instructions on how to check your student e-mail, please refer to the Help Desk in the garden level of the Giovale Library or call the IT Support Phone at 801-832-2023.
Student ID cards are available in the Health, Wellness and Athletics Center. The card gives access to the fitness center and acts as a library card (giving access to all academic libraries in Utah), a meal card, an activity card, and official college identification. A semester sticker on the back of the card indicates that the card has been validated through the term indicated. Identification cards must be validated each semester. Replacement cost is $10.
Students may obtain parking stickers and bus passes at the cashier's window in Bamberger Hall. To get a parking sticker, students must provide their driver's license and car registration. Parking stickers are free. To get a bus pass, students must bring their Westminster ID card. Bus passes are good for one academic year. The cost of bus passes is currently $15; however, the cost will vary depending on UTA's fees.

WAILUKU - The Maui County Council on Monday advanced the Maui Island Plan on first reading by a 7-2 vote, but not before making amendments to add in and to remove certain lands from the plan's directed growth boundaries.
The challenge of getting any changes through was heightened by the fact that three council members announced that they would not be proposing or voting for any changes, saying the plan had been tweaked enough as is.
"We have altered, changed, added and deleted. I think enough is enough," said Council Member Bob Carroll, who along with Council Members Gladys Baisa and Mike White voted against all amendments proposed Monday. "This plan needs to be OK'd, and it needs to go back to the communities."

With public testimony closed at Monday's resumed County Council meeting on the Maui Island Plan, some gave "silent testimony" with homemade signs in opposition to proposed developments in Olowalu and Makena. Others, like Maui Tomorrow Foundation Executive Director Irene Bowie (left), encouraged the council to balance urban growth designations with greenways and protected open space in the Maui Island Plan.
The Maui News / NANEA KALANI photo
Baisa, who chaired the General Plan Committee, added: "We all came to agreement in order to present what is before us. Therefore, I am satisfied. If changes are made at the community plan level, then so be it, because we have said that we will support that."
Still, some council members were successful in getting a few significant changes through before the bill was passed.
That included a motion by Council Member Elle Cochran to adjust the growth boundaries in Olowalu to prevent any development makai of Honoapiilani Highway.
Wailuku development firm Frampton & Ward had proposed building Olowalu Town as a 1,500-unit development on 600 acres both mauka and makai of the highway.
Throughout the General Plan process, dozens of testifiers urged the council to reverse its decision to protect the reef and coastline along Olowalu as well as to prevent negative traffic impacts along the highway.
Marine biologists, ocean researchers, snorkel tour operators and boat captains have argued that the development will cause detrimental harm to the reef, while at least one family from the area has championed the project as a means to bring much-needed infrastructure to Olowalu.
The council's 5-4 vote to delete the makai lands was met with cheers and sighs of relief from some in the council gallery, many holding handmade signs that read "Protect Olowalu Reef," "Save Olowalu" and "No Olowalu."
Voting in favor were Cochran, Riki Hokama, Council Chairman Danny Mateo, Vice Chairman Joe Pontanilla and Mike Victorino.
Mark Deakos, executive director and chief scientist with the Hawaii Association for Marine Education and Research, has repeatedly testified against any development in Olowalu. Deakos, who has said the Olowalu reef is the largest and healthiest coral reef system remaining in Maui waters, called Monday's vote "bittersweet."
"I definitely don't agree with Olowalu being urbanized," he said after the meeting. "There's still the potential of 4,000 people living uphill from the reef. But, we potentially have a small buffer of land to protect that precious reef as well as help preserve the plans for the Pali to Puamana Parkway. It's a small victory."
Deakos said he's been working with the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to try to create a marine-protected area in Olowalu.
Developer Bill Frampton said after the meeting that the decision was still a "step in a positive direction for Olowalu Town."
"The vision for Olowalu is based upon our commitment to build a small town community where Maui's residents can afford to live and raise families, a community that opposes the idea of injection wells and makes protection of our reefs a priority, a community that reflects Maui's values," he said.
An earlier motion by Cochran to remove all development boundaries in Olowalu failed.
In urging support from her colleagues, Cochran referred to urbanizing the area as a massacre, citing Native Hawaiian cultural sites, heiau and burials.
"It's just a huge, huge decision on our behalf to urbanize an entire ahupuaa at Olowalu based on one specific project and one particular developer," she said. "Who's to say once this gets converted - this ag into urban - another proposal that's more enticing for the landowner isn't going to be taking over? . . . I am not going to be a part of some kind of desecration and massacre of this area."
That motion failed 6-3, with Cochran, Hokama and Pontanilla in support.
In Central Maui, the council supported a motion by Pontanilla to include within the growth boundaries approximately 285 acres of land in Pulehunui owned by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
State officials have proposed developing the land off of Mokulele Highway near the old Puunene airport and National Guard Armory for light industrial, business and commercial activities as well as a new jail.
"An urban designation for this land will enable the state to generate revenues to fund important state programs including forest fire prevention and endangered species recovery programs," Pontanilla said in making the motion.
The motion passed 5-4, with Pontanilla, Cochran, Hokama, Mateo and Victorino in support.
Nearby, the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands had proposed similar commercial and industrial developments on a 185-acre parcel to help generate revenue for its beneficiaries. But the council voted against a motion by Pontanilla to include those lands on the regulatory maps.
Some council members had previously expressed opposition to working with DHHL because of back taxes owed to the county for years of unpaid property taxes assessed on Hawaiian Home Lands homesteads.
After the motion failed, Pontanilla noted that the federal Hawaiian Homes Commission Act authorizes the state Hawaiian Homes Commission to determine how its lands are to be used.
"Although it didn't pass at this level, it doesn't mean that Hawaiian Home Lands just goes away," he said.
A DHHL official said after the meeting that the department is still hopeful that it can work with the county as it moves forward with the project.
"The department has to use its resources to benefit its beneficiaries. We have to move forward," said Norman Sakamoto, land development special assistant for DHHL. "It would have made it easier to have the land be included in a more formal way with the Maui Island Plan. We remain optimistic that our commission can work with Maui County, the administration and the council."
In South Maui, an attempt by Council Member Don Couch to remove 390 acres surrounding Makena Resort's golf course failed by a 6-3 vote, with Couch, Cochran and Hokama voting for the amendment.
Irene Bowie, executive director of the Maui Tomorrow Foundation, said the Makena decision was disappointing.
"The South Maui community clearly did not want that," Bowie said. "Certainly, the owners have enough to build and prove themselves over the next 20 years with the acres they already have. They have yet to prove if they'll be a good neighbor," she said, noting that the property already holds development entitlements for about 1,000 acres and 2,000 housing units.
She said she also was disappointed that no amendments were made to restore greenways and scenic corridors in the plan.
The second and final vote on the Maui Island Plan is set for Dec. 21.

LEWISTOWN - The Lewistown Borough Council took around 20 minutes to consider writing ordinances in relation to the sewage systems at its monthly meeting on Tuesday.
The board approved a motion to draft an ordinance to increase and create tapping fees. The new increase is to $2000.
When the board started to discuss sewage rates, a few council members were not happy, Larry Searer and John Adams in particular.
Searer said he was against having to raise the rates and wanted money to come from other sources. Adams said that, as a homeowner, having to come up with the money to pay ever-rising bills, is increasingly difficult and implored the board not to raise the sewer rates.
Russ Rager, council vice president, explained that there was no choice but to raise the rates so the borough can pay the bills. Rager said the borough cannot obtain the money from anywhere else.
The increase in question would raise rates 15 percent. Connie Lucas, borough manager, explained that the increase would be on average $15 a quarter, or $60 per household per year. The council said was not happy with the idea of raising sewage rates but ultimately said there was no choice.
The vote was not unanimous but a motion to draft an ordinance to increase sewage rates passed.
The board approved these motions to draft ordinances which means the ordinance have not happened yet and they will discuss the idea of making them actual ordinances at a future meeting.
Mayor Deb Bargo wanted to publicly thank the efforts of Lewistown Police Department Officer William Roberts with his involvement in the arrest of a stolen pickup that occurred in late October. Bargo said she is very proud of LPD's officers.
The board approved a motion to suspend tickets from Nov. 19 to April 1 on all roads except Chestnut Street, Five Points to Logan Street, Market Street, Juniata Street to Five Points, Valley Street, Five Points to Third Street, Academy Hill and Tire Lane, with a vote against from Matt Moore.
In other business, the council:
Approved the schedule of bills.
Approved the financial report.
Approved to accept the tax collector report
Approved the report of parking violations, police citations and fines.
Approved a motion to move forward with Ordinance 2012-9, Mutual Aid Agreement with a vote against from Larry Searer.
Approved the Wastewater Treatment Plan Nutrient Reduction Upgrade Project, monthly contractor requests for payments.
Approved signing a Waiver of Conflict because of concurrent representation by Eckert Seamans of Lewistown Borough and MCRPD.
Approved 2010 CDBG sub-recipient agreement with Mifflin Juniata Dental Clinic for allocation of $8,272 for equipment purchases.
Approved suspension of citations for no parking/overnight parking regulations for holiday/winter periods from Nov. 19 to March 31.
Authorized for the president/vice president and secretary to execute the 2012 CDBG Grant Agreement and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Sub-recipient Data Sheet for the CDBG grant with DCED.
Approved Resolution 2012-31: Review of the arrangement letter to consider appointing Boyer and Ritter as auditors for the regular municipal audit for 2012.
Approved closing borough offices on Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving, giving borough employees the option of working or taking a vacation day.
Approved facility use request for Festival of Ice, Kiwanis Pancake Festival on Dec. 1, Kiwanis Christmas Parade on Nov. 30 and for Stephen Dalton to sell Christmas trees on S. Main Street.
Approved an agreement with the Mifflin County Planning and Development Department.
Approved a request for a refund of Borough Tax in the amount of $172.36 to Jeffrey N. Millhouse, Parcel No. 01-07-116 for a portion of the 2012 tax year, due to property being owned previously by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.
Moving forward with consideration of installing new wiring for the computer systems $6,736 (General Borough $2,237.03, Refuse $1690.06, WCS $1690.06, WWTP $1,118.85)
Approved a request from Rodney Hobbs to be paid for 144 vacation hours, which is more than the allowed six weeks of carryover time.
Approved a request for incentive time for Mike Dippery for two and a half hours for high flow conditions during the recent storm.
Approved sewer exoneration request for the Rec Park pool due to water being used to fill the pool and not entering the sewer system.
Approved sewer exoneration request for Thomas Baker due to watering of new plants and a leaky outside faucet and water not entering the sewer system.
Lewistown Borough Council normally meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at the Lewistown Municipal Building, in Lewistown.

Other projects/programs
A cascade of flowers and greenery on Telegraph Hill, the garden was created by former resident Grace Marchant in a 30-year labor of love.
For over six years, TPL worked in collaboration with the city of Oakland and the Friends of Bella Vista Park to transform this bleak asphalt playground into a beautiful green park.
Until recently, West Oakland's Bertha Port Park featured only a quarter-acre sandy lot, a single tree, and a forlorn blue statue of a dolphin.
It's called "the cornfield" because crops grew there in the 19th century. More recently, this 32-acre property on the edge of LA's downtown and Chinatown was an abandoned railyard slated for a one-million-square-foot industrial development.
Located along the west bank of the Los Angeles River in southeast Los Angeles County, the city of Maywood houses numerous abandoned factory sites but only two small public parks.
Our Los Angeles Program concentrates on the health and well-being of the region's nearly 10 million residents, working from the mountains to the ocean, and from inner city to wilderness.
A two-acre ribbon of mini-parks that stretches through the heart of Visitacion Valley and includes a community and native plant garden, gathering plaza, and children's playground.
Hayes Valley Playground is a quarter-acre inner city playground and clubhouse located in a diverse, dynamic San Francisco neighborhood with a strong sense of community.
Boeddeker Park is located in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood that hosts the highest concentration of people in the city, but which suffers from a critical lack of open space.
The 25-acre Balboa Park is located in the Excelsior neighborhood, a community with the highest concentration of children in San Francisco. For nearly a century, the park has been a much loved, heavily-used neighborhood resource-and work in progress.

Very sad about this. They have been extremely underrated for years IMHO; so I thought the "threepeat" was going to be great for them.
Very sad to hear this!!! I really like them!
This is terrible news! I feel so bad for them. To train so hard and have such high hopes and success only to be stopped in their tracks by injury is devastating. They're one of my favorite teams. Best wishes for a full recovery to Fabian. Don't come back too early like Alissa seems to have done. Best to be healthy for the Olympics.
Sheesh another injury. Get well soon Fabian.
They will be missed at Euros for sure.
Interesting, Caron & Jones have just posted a photo on their Facebook page with Igor Shpilband.
The photo is titled 'Ready to go to the European Championships in Zagreb !' with the location Novi Ice Arena, Michigan.

I'm so sorry to hear this.
This is a terrible, terrible situation. I hope Fabian can recover by Worlds
That's so sad and rotten timing. Well we can wish for some good competition from the Italians and the Russians!
From Pechalat/Bourzat's Facebook page today:
"Watching Short Dance !
so weird to be seated in the audience... when is it time to warm up ? where are my skates ? WHERE IS MY PARTNER ??!"
Hard to tell whether she was trying to see some humor in the weirdness. I hope so, although her disorientation and frustration are completely understandable.
On the other hand, I was never suggesting any kind of excessive, worrisome disorientation. And I was using the word figuratively, not in a clinical or literal sense.
I was merely agreeing with her that attending Euros without being in full competition mode must feel extremely strange -- especially because they are veterans who have been major players at Euros year after year.
I have plenty of respect for Pechalat's mental toughness (after she broke her nose last year, for example).
But you make it sound rather easy to "move on" from regret over their withdrawal from Euros -- even as she is on the ground in Zagreb in the middle of all the excitement as team captain. I cannot read her mind, but you cannot either.
Just sayin' that if I were her, it would not be so easy for me. Behind any joking around would be a longing to compete (and win) again with my partner at my side where he belongs. YMMV.
As I indicated in my previous post, I hope that she is finding a little humor in her unfamiliar situation this year. And I wish P/B all the best for a strong return at Worlds.

FB post from last week makes it pretty clear that while it is disappointing, P/B are looking ahead at this point, not sitting around and moping. They know what they need to do to succeed.
She sounds bummed she isnt skating. And she is sharing what her mind is going through. I don't see anything negative about what she posted. She is making light of a bad situation.
Yikes, I never would have dreamed that for some people the innocent word "disorientation" would be loaded with some sort of evil connotation.
As I have tried to explain above, my original usage of it was intended to be a supportive reference to Pechalat's Facebook message.
I never said or implied that she was moping. I never said anything critical or judgmental about her at all -- because I have nothing but admiration for P/B.
And I find it very endearing that she misses her partner. (Lest there be any confusion: that comment is a compliment to the strong bonds between Pechalat and Bourzat. Please do not try to twist it into something negative.)
[As for accuracy of interpretation, Buttercup, one thing I can say with complete certainty is that your posts show that you twice have badly misinterpreted me. ]

As the storms roll in off the northern Pacific and we are experiencing the shortest days of the year, finding productive places to fish can be problematic.
Yes, there are places to fish, but sometimes putting our rods aside for a bit can make fishing new again when we return.
Notice that all sports are seasonal. Would you really want football to go all 12 months of the year?
In the last few years, I have returned to cross country skiing, having dabbled in it during the time I lived in Truckee during the late 1970s. A large part of the allure of fishing is being outdoors. The maxim "Trout don't live in ugly places" comes to mind.
Cross country gets you outside in some of the most beautiful environments nature has to offer. The learning curve is moderate, the cost is modest, and we live so close to the snow that not finding a way to play there in the winter is an opportunity lost.
When I chose to get back into recreating on the snow, I looked for the local Nordic skiing club that I heard existed in the area. I just showed up at a meeting and was welcomed.
I had picked up used gear for less than $100, and what I wanted was information on places to go as well as people to go with and learn from. The Nordic Skiers of Nevada County fill that bill quite nicely.
This season we have had great snow conditions at low elevations. The closest place to get out for a couple of hours is the Alpha-Omega Scenic Overlook 17 miles above town on Highway 20.
At just over 5,000 feet of elevation, this ridge top can be barren of snow when the "Pineapple Express" storm track comes from the south. Currently, there are a couple of feet of snow on the ground and more on the way.
In the 1980s, the Nordic Club, in conjunction with the Forest Service, marked a ski/snowshoe trail east from the parking lot that extends along the ridge top toward the head waters of Steep Hollow Creek.
The ski trail is designated with blue squares nailed to the trees a dozen feet above the ground. The same trail is marked with brown plastic posts in the ground for summer hiking and bicycle users.
The trail rises gently as you head east without any major hills. This is an ideal place to go for beginners. On the weekends, you will see numerous others on the trail with snowshoes and skis. Closer to the parking area is a great snow play area for kids.
On weekdays you can have it almost to yourself. I have been up three time so far this year. It is my "get back into the sport" warm-up spot.
I am not much for exercise for its own sake. I do not do push-ups at home. I prefer exercise as incidental to other activities, such as fishing a river, rowing my boat trolling on a lake or skiing to be outside on the snow.
Once you get the rhythm of Nordic skiing, it is easier than walking. You get a bit of glide with each step, and going down a slight slope is like coasting on a bike.
I like to get my workout outdoors rather than in. It does not seem so much work this way. Given where we live, we owe it to ourselves to enjoy winter.

After decades of watching jobs vanish – sometimes in dribs and drabs, sometimes in a torrent of misfortune – it isn't easy to sit quietly because the architects of our latest economic cure-all say it will take years for the medicine they've come up with to work.
We want results, and we want them now. After all, this is a crisis that's affecting our very lives. Our kids are moving away. Our paychecks aren't growing; they're just keeping pace with inflation. And unlike cool cities, like Portland, Ore., that have become magnets for those same young people who are fleeing Western New York, nobody thinks of Buffalo as a hip, up-and-coming place where all kinds of really neat things are happening.
But the people charged with parceling out the Buffalo Billion that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has promised us to help get the Buffalo Niagara region back on its feet, thankfully, aren't thinking about quick fixes. They've spent the last year looking for things that Western New York can do better – and cheaper – than other places, and trying to figure out ways to take advantage of those strengths.
"If we can make strategic choices, fact-based decisions, we can make progress. But I caution people that we're not going to look like Portland, Ore., in 2013 or 2014," said developer Howard Zemsky, who is co-chairman of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council.
Their vision will take years to pan out, and if it does, the Buffalo Niagara region will be a hotbed of life sciences research – a place where talented scientists want to be, simply because there are lots of talented scientists already here doing really neat, cutting-edge work.
For the less scientifically inclined, it will be a place where regular people, with the proper skills acquired from a souped-up job training system, can get jobs at sophisticated factories, making products that are too complex to be made by just anyone, and certainly not by a $2-a-day laborer in the Third World.
"We have people who are looking for jobs and jobs that are looking for people, and the two don't always match up," Zemsky said.
We might even come up with more ways to entertain our tourists, who now pop in for a few hours to gawk at Niagara Falls, make a quick bet in the casino and shake their heads at how a place blessed with such a spectacular natural attraction that attracts visitors by the millions can offer so little else.
"We've had many decades of population decline and job loss," Zemsky said. "Unless we are successful in implementing these strategies, we will have continued decline."
Maybe that's why we've been intrigued by all these silver bullet projects over the past three decades, from the Ghermezian Brothers' mega-mall project in Niagara Falls, to the Adelphia office tower downtown, to Eddy Cogan's tantalizing vision to bring a new vibrancy to downtown Niagara Falls.
But the one thing those projects – and a handful of others – all have in common is that they all ended up shooting way wide of the target.
Cogan's proposal went beyond being a disappointment because it turned into a millstone around the region's neck. That's because we drank the Kool-Aid and handed over a huge parcel of prime Niagara Falls property to developers (it's now in the hands of Manhattan developer Howard Millstein) who haven't done a thing for more than a decade. (Keep that in mind the next time the starry-eyed backers of the retractable-roof waterfront stadium and convention center project say they need control of a prime parcel of lakeside property.)
The council's long-term approach began in the fall of 2011, when the state awarded more than $100 million in funding to 96 different projects that met the agency's newly developed vision.
The vast majority of those projects (85 percent) remain on track, but more than a year later, many of them are just starting to ramp up. A total of nine projects, with a combined value of about $4 million, have fallen through, many involving job training grants that later were declined by recipients.
"When they applied for the funds, I don't think they realized the requirements that were associated with the funds," said Christina Orsi, Empire State Development's regional director in Buffalo. The money from those scrapped projects will be reallocated to other projects that are funneled through the council.
Another project, a $2 million venture for an automotive maintenance training facility on Buffalo's East Side, is in limbo while one of its key partners, Erie Community College, rethinks its overall approach to job training, Orsi said.
And a tiny project, to put up new signs along the Niagara Wine Trail, is being held up in the state Legislature. The project originally involved only signs in Niagara County, but its backers want to expand the initiative into Orleans and Monroe counties. Only they can't because that would require approval from the state Legislature, and the Assembly has balked.
Yet other projects that were given high priority by the council are moving forward, albeit slowly. The Rosewell Park Cancer Institute Genome Consortium hired its first 28 employees last year and finished setting up the facility.
Other projects, from the Jacobs Institute Center for Innovation in Medicine to the Hauuptman Woodward Crystallization Laboratory, are on pace to purchase lab equipment during the first half of this year. But the Hauptman Woodward lab won't be completed until the end of next year, while another high-tech project, a high temperature materials lab at Alfred University, won't be ready until the end of 2015.
Down the road, the council plans to back what Zemsky bills as "the world's biggest start-up competition," which would offer up to $500,000 in financing to as many as 10 winners in a contest for the best business ideas in healthcare, manufacturing, technology, social entrepreneurship and for minority and women-owned businesses.
"We don't have enough business startups," Zemsky said. "If we don't have a lot of startup companies, that speaks poorly to our future prospects."
That's why the $5 million competition isn't enough to make the Buffalo Niagara region a magnet for entrepreneurs. Supplement that with a regional investment fund of $50 million or so to help promising firms get started here, or get established, and now you've got something.
