Technical Committees
The Emergency Management Committee's mission is to provide APWA members with resources and a forum for exchanging and developing ideas, knowledge, and technologies for minimizing the impact and consequences for disasters. It also intends to foster recognition of public works' important role(s) in emergency management, including its strong involvement in mitigation and recovery, as well as to influence public policies that will strengthen the ability of government at all levels to better address disaster management.
A Message from Mike Sutherland, Emergency Management Technical Committee Chairperson, 2015-2016
Changes occur rapidly in the world of Public Works, particularly in the roles we play in our planning, preparation, response and recovery for and from disasters. Each year the extraordinary events that happen change significantly, from the types of disasters to the shifting patterns of geographical locations. Droughts were devastating broad regions from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians last year, and now are baking large areas of California. Flood damage shifts from region to region, and this year hurricanes batter the Hawaiian Islands and leave the East Coast untouched. Unexpected landslides have hit Washington and Colorado, leaving unimaginable death and destruction behind, while coastal communities, regions and states are formulating plans for rising sea levels.
As has been stated before in many ways,
change is the only constant
. True resilience comes only from a perennial ability to adapt to evolving environmental and man-made challenges of immense proportions. As Public Works organizations we need to evolve continuously, train extensively and collaborate repeatedly with many disciplines and agencies that a decade or so ago we may have only interacted with occasionally, or from afar.
Today, as recognized First Responders, we are an integral part of the "All-Hazards" and "Whole Community" approach to both emergency management and homeland security. It's no coincidence that many states are beginning to combine homeland security and emergency management into a unified division or department, with Minnesota and Colorado as two examples. Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) are more frequently including staffing and subject matter expertise from Public Works engineering and operations professionals. State and regional intelligence fusion centers are beginning to realize the value of our industry experiences and knowledge, and inviting us to participate, appreciating us as force multipliers in their efforts.
Your Emergency Management Technical Committee and subcommittee members are dedicated to representing our association in ways never envisioned only a few years ago. Contributions from individuals across the United States and Canada are building credibility, relationships and learning opportunities that elevate our industry status among emergency services peers. As individuals and leaders, each of us is called to action in furthering education, training, exercising, and preparedness throughout all Public Works agencies.
Collaboration between APWA and FEMA/EMI led to the creation of four public works-centric online courses, available as independent study programs. Compliance with National Incident Management System (NIMS) requires that all agency responders complete IS-100, IS-200, IS-700 and IS-800 online courses. Together with the following four, a well-rounded training base is available to all organization staff—at no cost, other than the commitment of time.
IS-552 The Public Works Role in Emergency Management
IS-554 Emergency Planning for Public Works
IS-556 Damage Assessment for Public Works
IS-558 Public Works and Disaster Recovery
In addition to system training, the Emergency Management Committee recommends that agencies enhance continuity of operations plans (COOP) by maintaining current resource lists, and "typing" of all equipment using FEMA standards. Also, when possible brainstorm on contingency planning for various extraordinary events that may threaten your community, and envision effects of supply chain disruptions that might hamper a department's ability to respond to your full capabilities.
In 2014 the Ebola Virus was in the news on a regular basis. APWA has collected information and resources which might be useful to public works professionals. The information is listed in the APWA Resource Center under
Ebola: Public Works Preparing and Responding
Finally, we urge your teams to take a lead in using community and special events as training and process opportunities with the Incident Command System (ICS).
If you would like to be involved in the work of the Emergency Management Committee or one of the subcommittees, please contact me (
) or any of the other committee members.

CD-adapco TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES
November 2013
Computational Dynamics Limited ("CD") located in the United Kingdom, and Analysis & Design Application Co. Ltd. ("adapco") located in the United States, and their subsidiaries (collectively, "CD-adapco") develop and globally market computer aided engineering software, technologies and services. Given the nature of our business, intellectual property is our most important asset and we aggressively protect it. CD-adapco has developed these Guidelines for the proper use of our valuable trademarks and service marks (collectively, "CD-adapco Trademarks"). These Trademark Usage Guidelines apply to CD-adapco personnel as well as to third parties including, without limitation, channel partners, customers, writers and publishers.
1. Referential Use Only. Third parties may use CD-adapco Trademarks (word marks only, not logos) solely to reference CD-adapco's software, technologies and services. Referential use is prohibited if such use would defame or disparage CD-adapco, its products or services, or any other person or entity.
2. Referential Use Must Be Accurate. Third party use of CD-adapco Trademarks must accurately portray the relationship between CD-adapco and the third party (e.g., it should not imply sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of another company or its products, unless otherwise agreed upon by CD-adapco) and must not create confusion about who owns the CD-adapco Trademarks.
Incorrect: Developments in CD-adapco® Software Conference
Correct: ABC Distributor's Conference on developments in CD-adapco® Software
3. Only CD-adapco Has Rights In Its Trademarks. Third parties must not seek, or suggest that they have, any rights in any CD-adapco Trademarks. Further, third parties should not market products or services using CD-adapco Trademarks or trademarks that are confusingly similar. For instance, an engineering simulation software development company should not market its product as "SEE-D dapco" or "SPEEDY", etc".
4. CD-adapco Logos Cannot Be Used Without Written Permission. Do not use any CD-adapco logos unless you have a specific written agreement with CD-adapco allowing you to do so. To be clear, this means that you cannot cut logos from the CD-adapco website and use them in your materials – even in materials only intended for internal or personal use – if you do not have a written agreement. To obtain permission, contact the CD-adapco Marketing Department using the contact information for CD-adapco corporate headquarters at http://www.cd-adapco.com.
5. Mark The CD-adapco Trademarks Appropriately. Use the appropriate superscript legal symbol – ®or ™ - as set forth on the current CD-adapco Trademarks List when a CD-adapco Trademark first appears in each independent text. For instance, in a magazine, the appropriate legal symbol should be used with the first mention of the trademark in each article. Similarly, on a website, the first use on each web page should be marked. It is not necessary to place the legal symbol in headlines and titles if it greatly disrupts the appearance of an article, so long as the first use in text is appropriately marked.
6. Use a Trademark Legend. Documents referencing CD-adapco Trademarks should contain a trademark legend which is typically listed along with other legal information at the bottom of a webpage, at the end of a document, or on the copyright page of a book. The CD-adapco standard trademark legend is:
*Insert CD-adapco Trademark name* and any and all CD-adapco brand, product, service and feature names, logos and slogans are registered trademarks or trademarks of CD-adapco in the United States or other countries. All other brand, product, service and feature names or trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
7. Do Not Alter The CD-adapco Trademarks. Use the CD-adapco Trademark exactly as it is written in the current CD-adapco Trademarks List (e.g., do not use different capitalization, shorten the mark, or create acronyms).
Incorrect: CD-adapco™ star-ccm+™
Correct: CD-adapco® STAR-CCM+®
Incorrect: CD-adapco® SPD™ (abbrevi)
Correct: CD-adapco® SPEED™
Incorrect: CD-adapco® SCD ™ (acronym)
Correct: CD-adapco® STAR-CD®
8. Use CD-adapco Trademarks As Modifiers. A trademark should modify another word. Use CD-adapco Trademarks to limit or qualify the meaning of another word or word group. Do not use a CD-adapco Trademark as a noun or a verb or verb form.
Incorrect: CD-adapco® STAR-CCM+® has an array of features . . .
Correct: CD-adapco® STAR-CCM+® software has an array of features . . .
Incorrect: The engineering staff at ABC Company es-aftertreated™ the . . .
Correct: The engineering staff at ABC Company relied on CD-adapco® es-aftertreatment™ software to. . .. . .
Incorrect: CD-adapco® es-ice™ allows the user to . . .
Correct: CD-adapco® es-ice™ technology allows the user to . . .
Incorrect: CD-adapco®STAR-CD's® array of features . . .
Correct: CD-adapco® STAR-CD® software has an array of features . . .
9. Using CD-adapco As A Trade Name. When referring to the company CD-adapco or one of its subsidiaries, you are using CD-adapco or the subsidiary name as a trade name, not a trademark. Trade names may be used as nouns or in the possessive form and no trademark legal symbol should be used.
Incorrect: CD-adapco® is headquartered in Melville, New York.
Correct: CD-adapco is headquartered in Melville, New York.
Incorrect: Analysis & Design Application Co. Ltd.™ is a US entity.
Correct: Analysis & Design Application Co. Ltd. is a US entity.
10. Do Not Incorporate Into Third-Party Names. Do not incorporate CD-adapco Trademarks into third-party product names or logos unless you have specific written agreement with CD-adapco allowing you to do so. However, if true, you may state that your product or service is "for use with", "for", or "compatible with" CD-adapco's products and services.
Incorrect: ABC High performance CD-adapco® compute platform
Correct: ABC High performance compute platform for CD-adapco® software products
11. Do not Incorporate Into Second Level Domain Names. Do not incorporate any CD-adapco Trademarks into your second level domain name or register such a domain name unless you have a specific written agreement with CD-adapco allowing you to do so. In accordance with the foregoing, see the following example in the case of a channel partner named "XYZ Corporation" which distributes CD-adapco products.
Incorrect: www.CD-adapcosxyzcorporation.com
Correct: www.xyzcorporation.com/CD-adapco
12. Use Of Trademark In Title Of Third Party Publications. The use of a CD-adapco Trademark in the title of a publication may be appropriate under certain circumstances. However, these Guidelines must be followed and the publisher must place a conspicuous disclaimer on the copyright page of the publication stating that it is not endorsed or sponsored by CD-adapco.
13. Third Party Name And Logo Most Prominent. In any third party materials, the company name, logo and trademarks of the third party should be the most prominent in appearance as compared to CD-adapco Trademarks.
14. Trade Dress. Do not mimic CD-adapco trade dress. Trade dress is how CD-adapco's products and packaging look, including their distinctive graphics, icons and color combinations (e.g., the appearance of the GUI, the design of the CD-adapco website).
15. Suspected Infringement. If you suspect that CD-adapco Trademarks, trade dress or other intellectual property such as copyrighted material are being infringed, or if you believe CD-adapco is infringing on another's intellectual property, please contact the CD-adapco Legal Department using the contact information for CD-adapco corporate headquarters at http://www.cd-adapco.com.
16. Additional Information. No licenses or rights are granted by these Trademark Usage Guidelines, except those expressly set forth herein. These Trademark Usage Guidelines are not intended to be a definitive or comprehensive list of the proper usage of CD-adapco Trademarks. Without limiting any right or relief to which CD-adapco may be entitled by law or in equity, CD-adapco reserves the right to (i) require a third party to submit its proposed use of a CD-adapco Trademark for CD-adapco approval prior to such use, (ii) object to any use of its trademarks, and (iii) revoke use of its trademarks by any third party. CD-adapco reserves the right to modify these Trademark Usage Guidelines from time to time without notice. If you have questions about these Trademark Usage Guidelines, please contact the CD-adapco Legal Department using the contact information for CD-adapco corporate headquarters at http://www.cd-adapco.com.

Hey, have you guys ever heard of Bakuman? It's relatively new but it's quite unique and the art's great too cos it's from the guy who did Death Note.
never heard of it maybe because its new....nut is it good though?
It's about two students trying to make a manga because one of them wants to fulfill a promise to a girl he likes. It's cool because it shows what the manga industry is like without being too educational. You should check it out at Onemanga or the website Yakuro told us about. It's one of my favorites. Hunters Erase Any Demonic Presence Haunting Old Native Execution Sites

For those of you who don't know, Viz announced at San Diego Comic Con that they have aquired the rights to produce and publish an English translated version of Bakuman and they have plans to serialize it in their Shonen Jump magazine starting next year. Its big news and I just about jumped out of my seat when I heard the news.

Thursday, May 2, 2013
About 100 citizens crammed into a Goose Creek room Tuesday night to hear three First Congressional District candidates speak exactly a week before the special election.
Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, Green Party candidate Eugene Platt and Republican (and former Gov.) Mark Sanford appeared in that order to present their platform and answer audience questions. Summerville, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and Mt. Pleasant residents submitted questions.
The standing-room-only crowd gathered at the Berkeley Electric Cooperative building off Springhall Drive for the "First Congressional District Political Forum" sponsored by the Goose Creek National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"Voting is the most important part of the political process," Goose Creek NAACP President David Cakley said.
Colbert Busch arrived at about 7:10 p.m. and told the audience she is a fiscally-conservative Democrat. "I'm not a tax and spend liberal."
She said her job at Clemson University is based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education. She said the Charleston area is known as "Silicon Harbor" because of information technology jobs.
"Education is the key to keeping and attracting new businesses to South Carolina," she said.
Colbert Busch does not support the school voucher system and is a proud parent of public school students, she said. "We have to make sure we're supporting public education."
Answering an audience question in regard to the National Labor Relations Board at Boeing, Colbert Busch said, "The NLRB has no business telling a company where they can locate.
"I'm an independent businesswoman who understands how business works."
Colbert Busch said she supports the 2nd Amendment, adding that background checks need to be expanded for all commercial sales.
Another audience questions asked about term limits.
"Every single person in this room is the term limit," she said. "If you don't do a good job you get voted out."
She said she plans to open constituent service offices in the tri-county and in the Beaufort area.
Each candidate appeared to enter and exit the building without crossing paths. They never stood together at the podium.
"My opponents seem to be unaware of my existence," Platt said.
Regarding healthcare, he said he is the only candidate with the real solution – a single-payer system.
"It works reasonably well in Canada. It would not be that hard to change the broken system we have now to single-payer."
Platt, an Army Airborne veteran, said the country should be prepared for attacks but should not invade sovereign countries. He said the billions of dollars and thousands of lives spent in Iraq and Afghanistan could be better spent building schools, roads and bridges that would create jobs.
"The Green Party is on the cutting edge of abolishing the death penalty . . . most civilized countries have abolished it.
"To approach it from a point of view of faith, one of the 10 Commandments says thou shall not kill . . . we can punish, but not kill."
Platt read a poem he wrote inspired by his daughter titled "New Priorities." His son Paul Platt sat beside him at the front table by the podium.
Answering audience questions, he said he is a product of the public school system and salaries for educators need to be competitive with other states. He said higher education should be more financially possible for high school students.
Platt said he supports the 2nd Amendment but added hunters don't need machine guns or bazookas to kill deer.
Another audience questions asked for his abortion stance.
"My answer will not please many people. I support the right of a woman to make such a decision. Personally I think it's morally wrong, but it should not be illegal."
Sanford asked the audience, made up of many African-Americans, to think of what the NAACP has meant. He said Rosa Parks, a seamstress, had a single act of courage that changed the course of the nation.
He said a few months ago his phone lines lit up with people encouraging him to run for office. "I'm doing what I think I should be doing right now."
He said as governor he met with the NAACP often.
"The notion of extended dialogue is part of the American way," he said. "There has not been another governorship with more African Americans in the cabinet than ours."
Sanford said he and the NAACP did not always agree, but added he does not always agree with his siblings.
"Think about how God arranged it. A man and a wife – not to say that every marriage works out (audience laughter) – that notion of a man and a wife together with two different viewpoints is fundamental to coming up with better solutions than one viewpoint.
"Some people love me, some people hate me, but they've never accused me of not leading."
Sanford said he does not support the Affordable Healthcare Act because it will cost $6.4 trillion in the next 10 years. "It requires each citizen to buy a product – we've never gone there before."
A resident asked Sanford to answer yes or no about if he would vote to protect civil rights of gay South Carolinians and their right to marry.
"I hate yes or no," Sanford said after a pause. "If you asked how I would vote on a bill if it were to come up tomorrow in Congress, I'd vote no."
He said is not against anybody and supports federalism. He said sensitive issues need to be decided by citizens.
During closing remarks S.C. NAACP President Lonnie Randolph encouraged citizens to vote, citing that the state ranks 47th in voter participation. He said the state is often first in being last and last in being first.
"All the problems we have in this country and state can be solved," Randolph said. "Let's make South Carolina and this country the place it should be."

I see that in the time it took me to make my comment several other anti Rockefeller comments have been made. I'm willing to bet that not one of you can name what his voting record is. What bills he has introduced. What position he holds in the senate. How about the fact that he received NO PAY while in office as Gov. of WV. You have NO IDEA what you are flapping you jaws about.

I spent over an hour the other night organizing all of my knit-wares and filled a bag with all sorts of scrap yarn that I have no idea what I'll ever do with but I keep them anyway. I had actually been planning to finally knit myself some fingerless gloves (you know I've made so many for everyone else but myself?) and I was going to just use random mis-matched fibers but then I found myself shopping online for new clothes for Ivy and not finding any dresses I really liked so maybe I'll just have to make my own. I'm only using scrap yarns, pulling from the bag by chance, with some of the strands not even long enough for one row. But I think it will give it a cool effect. Or it could turn out looking like throw up.
You'll know how it turns out if I end up posting a photo or not.

Belington Mayor Jody Haller said Thursday he did not plan to resign despite a resident filing a complaint about his having recently moved outside Belington city limits.
Haller gave each Belington City Council member a copy of the complaint during Thursday's council meeting.
The complaint, filed by Richard L. Chambers, pastor of the Belington Church of the Nazarene, insists that Haller resign or be removed by City Council because of his change in residency.
Article Photos
"According to the Belington city charter, the mayor must resign," Richard L. Chambers, pastor of the Belington Church of the Nazarene, told The Inter-Mountain Thursday afternoon. "He moved out of Belington two weeks ago and it did not become apparent until last Monday that he had moved."
Haller told The Inter-Mountain before Thursday's meeting that he planned to move back to Belington as soon as possible.
"For personal reasons I am temporarily, and temporarily only, living in a location out of town at this point," Haller said. "My intentions are to move back into Belington so that I can hold the mayor's position."
Haller said the situation is no different than if his house burned down and he had to find another place to reside.
"I am looking for a place in Belington and will move back when I find one," Haller said. "I have talked with each council member about my situation. I feel communication is key."
During Thursday's meeting, Haller briefly addressed the issue while distributing copies of the complaint to council members.
"Council are all aware of this and it is a personnel issue," councilwoman Suzanna Skidmore said during the meeting. "Council is aware of this complaint."
There was no further discussion of the matter during the meeting, which Chambers did not attend.
Earlier Thursday, Chambers said if Haller did not resign, or was not removed by council, he would seek legal action.
"I have already talked to the West Virginia Secretary of State's office and Barbour County Circuit Court," Chambers said. "If they (Haller and the city council) do not take action, it will be forwarded to Circuit Court.
"He (Haller) can't say he didn't know about the requirements of the charter because when he became mayor, he swore to uphold the requirements of the charter," Chambers said.
Chambers pointed to Section 7, page 5 of the Belington City Charter as evidence that Haller was no longer eligible to be mayor.
The passage reads, "No person shall be eligible to the office of mayor or councilman, unless at the time of his election he is legally entitled to vote in the city election for member of the common council, and was for the preceding year assessed with taxes upon real or personal property within the said city... ."

"You're pretty much a reflection of me," Bates said that day in early 2008, according to Johnson. He placed his hands on the shoulders of her petite 5-foot-5 frame.
Then Bates slipped his fingers underneath her scooped-neck top and began to fondle her breasts, Johnson said.

INWOOD - What better captures the wonder of Christmas than Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker?
Since the ballet premiered in 1882 at St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, it has become a beloved Christmas classic in both Christendom and lands afar, heralded as a hallmark of the holiday season, but especially a timeless representation of the human spirit.
Now in its 21st season, the Inwood Dance Company will perform the famous ballet on Saturday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 9, at 3 p.m., at Musselman High School. Dance company owner and professional ballerina Denna Smith will direct more than 100 performers, ages four to adult, who will adorn the stage to tell the magical tale of Clara's journey to the Land of Sweets.
Article Photos
Journal Photo by Ron Agnir
Nutcracker (Kennedy Haas) and Clara (Rebecca Fogleman) in the Snow Forest in the Inwood Dance Company's presentation of the Nutcracker.
We've heard the story before, but a testament to The Nutcracker's genius, the child-like spirit that thrives inside us never tires of hearing it again.
Shortly after falling asleep beside the nutcracker, a gift to Clara from Herr Drusselmeyer, the nutcracker begins to move from its perch on the mantle above the fireplace, where it has been placed by the children's father for safekeeping.
The nutcracker slowly comes to life, at which time so do as well toy soldiers, gingerbread men and an army of mice, who begin a harrowing battle.
With intentions toward destroying the nutcracker, Clara intercepts a blow from the Mouse King and saves the now living toy from imminent death, at which time the nutcracker transforms into a handsome prince.
Clara and The Prince then begin a journey to the Land of Sweets, a magical place that is ruled by the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy and the Snow King.
Seasonal delicacies from the four corners of the world dance to everyone's delight - Spanish chocolate, Russian candy canes, Arabic coffee and Asian tea. Everyone is happy, everything is beautiful.
And then, suddenly, the fantasy is over. Clara awakens in the room in which she fell asleep. Was it a dream? If it were, Clara wants to go back to it. She lays her head back onto the pillow.
As do most human beings, though Clara lives in this world, she dreams of another.
And so, the timeless quality of The Nutcracker.
Smith said her students began practicing to perform this eternal, Christmas classic which defines human nature for 15 hours per week in mid-September, adding choreography changes this year have given her Nutcracker a new look.
Newly incorporated into the performance this year will be featured guest artists, Boulder Ballet male principal dancer Matthew Helms, who will perform the parts of the prince and snow king; former principal dancer for the Orlando Ballet, Israel Rodriguez, who will perform as the Dew Drop Fairy's courtier in Waltz of the Flowers; and Jaime Orrego, a student at Shenandoah University.
Smith said incorporating male dancers into the performance has given her group an opportunity to experience what it is like to dance with a professional troupe, adding most classical ballet companies support a two to one ratio of female to male dancers.
Smith said Clara will have a new throne in the second act and also Waltz of the Flowers has been revised to include the three male guest dancers.
As well, three female guest artists will appear from Shenandoah University: lead flower characters will be performed by dancers Lindsay Watkins, Katie Rose and Hannah Franz.
Smith said the most difficult moves that will be performed by her students for the ballet are 16 "floutte" turns by the Sugarplum Fairy, which Smith explained are continuous turns on one leg. The star role will be performed by Musselman High School senior Cami Coulter, 17, and Lily McCrossin, 16.
"This requires ultimate both all-over body strength and coordination," Smith said, adding professional ballerinas typically perform 32 to 63 continuous rounds.
Smith said many of her students have trained to perform the "saut de chat," a split leap in mid-air, a move that Smith said requires especially great speed for the jump that leads into the move, in order for it to appear effortless.
Dance students Grace Piepenbrink and Rebecca Fogleman, both 13, will perform the part of Clara; Adam Venham-Carter and Niklas Flood, both 9, will perform the part of Clara's brother, Franz; and Nicolette White, 16, will perform the Dew Drop Fairy.
Smith said the two-and-a-half hour ballet also will include guest performances by many of her students' parents, who she said have volunteered for the parts of mice, tin soldiers and gingerbread men in Act One's battle scene.
As well, faculty member and assistant director Susan Banks, a former soloist with the Houston Ballet, will perform the part of "Grandma."
Smith said Banks performed last year the parts of the wicked queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," and Dr. Coppelius in "Coppelia," the latter of which was written by author E.T.A. Hoffman, who also wrote the novella on which The Nutcracker ballet is based.
"Susan is a wonderful character artist and performed beautifully in many roles in numerous ballets," Smith said.
Before returning to Inwood, where Smith said she established her dance company on land that once comprised a portion of her parents' farm, the professional ballerina now dance instructor studied professionally at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, England.
Smith is a graduate of Musselman High School, and Shenandoah and American universities, where she earned a bachelor of science in biology and a master's in dance, respectively.
Tickets for The Nutcracker performance are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For information please call 304-229-3209.

Occupy Wall Street Poster Robert S Halper OSW Financier
Robert S. Halper is a successful retired multi-millionaire oil trader. He was the former Vice Chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NY Merc) - the US commodity-trading market place located in Lower Manhattan. Profiled in the New York Times because of the contributions Halper made to the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, he has also made token contributions to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a front runner in the GOP Presidential nomination race. The Times quoted him as saying:
"My giving is a little A.D.D. — like me," he said, referring to what he described as his hyperactivity and wandering attention.
Brooklyn-born Halper came from modest economic circumstances. His father ran a liquor store on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Reared in the East New York section of Brooklyn, the family ultimately settled in Woodmere, a heavily Jewish community in Long Island's Nassau County. Halper, a graduate of the State University of New York went to work in the trading pits at the NY Merc in 1983 and rose to the top of the oil trading game. He retired in 2007 and lives with his wife and family on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Halper is the epitome of what many of the protesters camped out in squalid Zucotti Park in lower Manhattan rail against. He is one of their hated One Per Centers. However Halper has felt their pain. The Times indicated that Halper comes down to Zucotti Park in lower Manhattan every day to contemplate what many of us deem the madness of this disparate crowd. A crowd allegedly composed of both extreme leftist and right wing elements. The Times quotes him as saying:
"The whole thing is very surreal to me — the fact that I spent my whole career right across the street," he said in an interview last week on a marble bench near the park. "It makes me a little anxious, to tell you the truth. It could go anywhere. I just pray that it ends peaceful."
Halper is a bit feckless. Note this comment about a poll taken of OWS protesters from a Contentions blog post by Alana Goodman:
Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen?finally gives us some statistical insight into what OWS actually believes, with a must-read column today in the Wall Street Journal.
Schoen's polling firm interviewed 200 activists in Zuccotti Park last week:
Our research shows clearly that the movement doesn't represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence. Half (52 percent) have participated in a political movement before, virtually all (98 percent) say they would support civil disobedience to achieve their goals, and nearly one-third (31 percent) would support violence to advance their agenda.
According to the Times profile, Halper had contributed $20,000 to the Canadian anti-consumerist and pro-ecological magazine Adbusters founded by Kalle Lasn. Note this Washington Post interview with Lasn. That money helped to kick start the OWS movement. Lasn pitched him on the OWS at a dinner two months ago likening it to a revolution modeled on the Arab Spring. Apparently, Halper has had a long term relationship with Lasn, as he has given Adbusters more than $75,000 over two decades. Adbusters founder, Kalle Lasn, an Estonian German Refugee as a child during WWII who eventually made his way to Canada from Australia, is not above engaging in some of the classic antisemitic Jewish conspiracy rhetoric. Lasn has a history of perpetuating conspiracy theories that say the Jews control America's foreign policies.
Israel Today reported disturbing Antisemitic canards captured on videos of protesters in New York, Los Angeles and on Neo-Nazi websites:
Last week, we reported on a lone protestor at the Wall Street sit-in who insisted that America's economic woes could all be traced back to "the Jews."
Since then that message has been picked up by others at "Occupy Wall St." demonstrations around the country.
In Los Angeles, California, protestor Patricia McAllister, who identified herself as an employee of the Los Angeles Unified School District (we can only hope she is not an educator), had this to say:
"I think that the Zionist Jews, who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government… they need to be run out of this country."
On the American Nazi Party website, leader Rocky Suhayda voiced support for "Occupy Wall St." and asked, "Who hold the wealth and power in this country? The Judeo-Capitalists. Who is therefore the #1 enemy who makes this filth happen? The Judeo-Capitalists.".
Back in New York, another protestor insisted that "a small ethnic group constitutes almost all of the hedge fund managers and bankers on Wall St. They are all Jewish. There is a conspiracy in this country where Jews control the media, finances… They have pooled their money together in order to take control of America."
What is most disturbing is that Halper hasn't been outraged by elements of antisemitism captured in several videos taken of protesters in both New York and Los Angeles. Videos that now have been compiled by a conservative group the Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI) seeking funds to put ads up on cable TV. Watch the ECI video ad.
The ADL in a press release on Monday noted:
While we believe that these expressions are not representative of the larger views of the OWS movement, it is still critical for organizers, participants and supporters of these rallies to condemn such bigoted statements clearly and forcefully.
There is no evidence that these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are representative of the larger movement or that they are gaining traction with other participants. However, history demonstrates time and again how economic downturns can embolden anti-Semites to spread malicious conspiracy theories and promote stereotypes about Jews and money. As a consequence, these statements must not be left unchallenged.
Problem is the OWS movement is leaderless. Alana Goodman of the Contentions blog commented:
. . . if there are no leaders of the movement, who is even in the position to condemn the anti-Semitism at the rallies? The movement claims to have no official leaders, no official platform, no official aims. In an environment like that, it may not even make a difference if a few members speak out against the anti-Semites – they have no "legitimacy" as leaders in the eyes of the protesters.
Rabbi Aryeh Spero, spokesperson for The National Conference on Jewish Affairs, took a different approach in the group's press release today:
"In light of the accelerated and vociferous anti-Semitic and anti-Israel pronouncements emanating from the Occupied Wall Street groups – at times urging the expulsion of Zionists and Jews from the United States – we urge President Obama to publicly denounce these remarks.
"Furthermore, we ask David Axelrod and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, and other fellow Jews enthusiastically tied to the protests, to remember that the scape-goating that results from class warfare rhetoric has historically made Jews a target and endangered our community.
Will any of this weigh in on Robert S. Halper? He is a target of those roiling protesters in Zuccotti Park across the way from the NY Merc that was the engine of his personal financial success and wealth. Probably not. Pity. His estimated annual $100,000 giving might be put to better use, underwriting the ECI's video ad campaign combating OWS antisemitism.

days the climate change debate seems to have devolved into a scene
from the movie Dumb
and Dumber.
Everyone seeming has an agenda and an axe to grind.
Unfortunately many involved in the debate on both sides seem to see
little need to conduct themselves with integrity, commonly resorting
to hyperbole and fakery.The latest controversy is that a
leading report touted by climate change skeptics has been found to be
partially plagiarized. Rep. Joe Barton (R., Texas), a leading
climate change skeptic in Congress, had requested the report in 2006
to counter assertions that man was causing climate change. Rep.
Barton contracted George Mason University statistician Edward Wegman
to produce a report looking at the research for flaws.The
result was a report that attacked leading Paleoclimatologist Michael
Mann's so-called
"hockey-stick graph" that showed temperatures over
the last thousand years. The "hockey-stick" model was
used in the UN International Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2001
report.Despite acknowledging that the report by Professor
Wegman correctly identified flaws in Professor Mann's study, the
National Research Council concluded in 2006 that its criticisms were
irrelevant due to the fact that more reliable later studies confirmed
its conclusions.Now Professor Wegman's report has been dealt
another setback.In a
report in USA
three leading plagiarism experts -- Cornell's Paul Ginsparg, Ohio
State's Robert Coleman, and Virginia Tech' Skip Garner concluded that
significant passages in the "study" were lifted from
"textbooks, Wikipedia and the writings of one of the scientists
criticized in the report" without proper citation. They
call the academic misconduct, "actually fairly shocking,"
"inappropriate," and "fairly obvious".Others
have also noticed and complained about the plagiarism.
According to USA
March, climate scientist Raymond Bradley of the University of
Massachusetts asked GMU, based in Fairfax, Va., to investigate "clear
plagiarism" of one of his textbooks.Bradley says he
learned of the copying on the Deep Climate website and through a now
year-long analysis of the Wegman report made by retired computer
scientist John Mashey of Portola Valley, Calif. Mashey's analysis
concludes that 35 of the report's 91 pages "are mostly
plagiarized text, but often injected with errors, bias and changes of
meaning." Copying others' text or ideas without crediting them
violates universities' standards, according to Liz Wager of the
London-based Committee on Publication Ethics.
Mason University is investigating the charges. In the past
Professor Wegman had responded to rumors that part of the report
might have been plagiarized, calling them "wild conclusions that
have nothing to do with reality." Rep. Barton also appears
to be standing behind the report.Of course the plagiarism
does not invalidate the report's criticisms, it just showcases the
bias and incompetence that's marring the arguments of both sides of
the climate debate. It also represents a major black mark on
the record of Professor Wegman.Proponents of the theory that
man is causing climate changes were recently caught up in a similar
debacle when emails
leaked from the Climate Research Unit in England.
While those emails seemingly implicated CRU
director Phil Jones, Professor
Mann, and others in clear and blatant academic misconduct and
subversion of the peer review process, subsequent
investigations largely
exonerated those involved. Professor Jones and
Professor Mann were among those chastised, though, by various panels
for their indiscretions in the scandal. And they're lucky they
didn't get worse -- given the seemingly damning nature of the emails,
one has to wonder whether a bias wasn't involved in those
exonerations.At the end of the day the CRU scandal and the
new scandal surrounding the Wegman report show off the embarrassing
and disturbing state of climate research today. Understanding
and reacting to the Earth's climate is absolutely critical and is a
worthy topic of research. However, with impassioned observers
on both sides of the climate change debate seemingly willing to
compromise their integrity to fallaciously promote their point of
view, one has to wonder how this critical, yet broken field of
research can be fixed and restored to honor.
quote: readings for June and July 2010 for Lake Michigan showed crazy temperatures off the scale ranging in the low to mid hundreds - with some parts of the Wisconsin area apparently reaching 612 F. With an increasing number of further errors now coming to light the discredited NOAA removed the entire set from public view. But just removing them from sight is not the same as addressing the implications of this gross statistical debacle
quote: New Zealand Government Abandons 'Official' Climate Record The NZCSC story reports that the NZ authorities, "formally stated that, in their opinion, they are not required to use the best available information nor to apply the best scientific practices and techniques available at any given time. They don't think that forms any part of their statutory obligation to pursue "excellence." NIWA now denies there was any such thing as an "official" NZ Temperature Record, although there was an official acronym for it (NZTR). However, the position now taken by the NZ government is that all such records are now to be deemed as unofficial and strictly for internal research purposes. The article urges that if the government will not affirm that their temperature reconstruction is official then, "Nobody else should rely on it."

The Amherst Town Board has refused to pay one of its vendors for more than $60,000 worth of material dating back to late summer because of improper purchasing practices by the Highway Department.
Highway Superintendent Robert Anderson was grilled by board members at Monday night's Town Board meeting about half a dozen invoices for paving material the town purchased from Municipal Milling and Maintenance.
The Highway Department had low-bid contracts with both Municipal Milling and All American Paving for a variety of paving materials. In a series of instances, the department purchased paving materials from Municipal Milling even though All American Paving carried the low bid, a violation of state law.
Anderson said All American Paving was initially asked to provide the materials, but the company stated it was unable to do so for three weeks, an unacceptable delay during the summer paving months.
"Do we have documentation of their refusal to do the work?" asked Council Member Steven Sanders.
"No," responded Anderson. "We don't send out letters. This was all done by phone calls."
Both Sanders and Council Member Guy Marlette then asked why Anderson didn't inform the Town Board that the low bidder was unable to perform and why he didn't seek approval to award a contract to Municipal Milling for the necessary work.
Anderson said he didn't know what his general foreman had done until he was told by the town comptroller late last year.
Supervisor Barry Weinstein, who also serves as the town's interim purchasing director, tried to resolve the matter by submitting a resolution authorizing him to sign a contract with Municipal Milling that was backdated to Aug. 6, 2012. The same resolution asked the board to authorize the comptroller to pay all outstanding invoices to Municipal Milling.
Weinstein and Council Members Mark Manna and Barbara Nuchereno voted in favor of the resolution, while Sanders and Marlette voted against. The resolution failed despite the 3-2 vote in favor because Council Member Richard "Jay" Anderson was absent, and a four-vote majority is required to pass any resolution.
"You're actually punishing the innocent vendor here," Manna said.
Weinstein said after the meeting that Municipal Milling can either sue the town for payment or wait until the next regular Town Board meeting in three weeks to see if payment authorization receives the necessary four votes.
In other business Monday, the Town Board:
• Voted, 4-1, to approve a property tax settlement reducing the $15 million assessment on the Walmart on Sheridan Drive to $13.3 million. Manna voted no.
• Did not vote on a resolution by Weinstein seeking proposals for at least one new hotel on the Northtown Center ice rink property, which the town owns. Several board members said they would vote against the resolution, so Weinstein withdrew it.

A girl with blonde hair, a flat face, chest, and ass. Thinks everybody's in love with her, where in reality everyone wants to take a hammer to the back of her head. Little by little people are getting fed up with her shit and she will soon be alone. She looks like KWOZIMOTO.
"Do you see that girl over there thats really ugly?"
"Yeah, shes totally a Brooke Gilligan."

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Céline Dion
- 1978
Little Girl, Big Voice
At age 10, Céline Dion, the youngest of 14 children, persuades her parents, butcher Adhémar and housewife Thérèse, to let her perform in the piano bar they open just outside of Montreal. "She'd say, 'I'm going to go out on tour and be the biggest singer in the world,'" her brother Jacques recalls to PEOPLE two decades later of his sister's big dream.
- 1980
'Dream' Weaver
Dion records her first song, "It Was Only a Dream" (penned by her brother Jacques and her mom Thérèse), which Jacques sends to René Angélil, a local manager-producer. Angélil calls the 12-year-old singer in for an audition. "While I was singing he started to cry. I knew then I had done a good job," Dion tells PEOPLE of her fateful meeting with Angélil, who mortgages his house to fund her 1981 debut album, La Voix du Bon Dieu.
- 1985
Make Me Over
Now famous in Canada and France, the French-language singer, who quits school to focus on her career, has her sights set on becoming a star Stateside. With Angélil's encouragement, Dion learns English and refines her look, including capping her teeth. It was, as Dion's mother later tells PEOPLE, "her transformation from adolescence to a young woman."
- 1988
Sealed with a Kiss
With eight French-language albums under her belt, Dion wins the coveted Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, Ireland. The event proves fateful in more ways than one: It fast-tracks an English-language record deal for Dion, and marks the turning point in the 20-year-old singer's relationship with the twice-divorced Angélil, 46. "My whole body shook for half an hour," Dion tells PEOPLE of her first kiss with Angélil. "Then he called me and said, 'Are you okay? I'm sorry.' I said, 'No! No! Are you kidding?' It was magic."
- 1990
Hit Parade
Dion releases her English-language debut Unison in America, where her single "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" hits the top 10. But the budding star truly goes global with her 1992 duet with Peabo Bryson on "Beauty and the Beast" – the theme to the Disney film – which wins her both an Oscar and a Grammy.
- 1993
Crazy in Love
Dion's secret romance with Angélil goes public when she professes her love in the liner notes of The Colour of My Love. "When you're in love," she explains to PEOPLE, "you want to scream it to the world.'' On Dec. 17, Dion, 26, marries Angélil, 52, in a lavish fairy-tale wedding at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica. "Keeping her happy is my job," the groom says of his wife and client.
- 1996
'Falling' For Céline
Dion's album Falling Into You – bolstered by the single "Because You Loved Me" – goes on to sell a staggering 10.8 million copies and earns Dion her second and third Grammys for best pop album and album of the year.
- 1997
A 'Titanic' Year
Titanic director James Cameron didn't initially want a ballad for his disaster-romance, but after hearing Dion's demo of "My Heart Will Go On," he changes his mind. The Grammy- and Oscar-winning track shoots to No. 1, appearing on both her multi-platinum solo CD Let's Talk About Love as well as the Titanic album. "I must be doing something right," Dion deadpans to PEOPLE in 1990, a time when industry insiders estimate her fortune at more than $200 million.
- 2000
Family First
When Angélil is diagnosed with throat cancer, Dion takes a career hiatus. "René needed me with what he's been through, and I felt good about it," she later tells PEOPLE. "I can do something good, not only through music, but…I can be his wife. I can make a difference in his life." During Angélil's treatment, Dion simultaneously undergoes fertility procedures, including in vitro fertilization. After 38 rounds of chemo, Angélil gets a clean bill of health, while Dion announces she's having a baby.
- 2001
Special Delivery
At age 32, Dion fulfills a lifelong dream, becoming a mother to son René-Charles, who the new mom says, "is the extension of the love (René and I) have for each other ...René-Charles is everything that we have accomplished together." The singer chronicles the highs and lows of her fertility journey in her best-selling memoir, Céline Dion: My Story, My Dream.

Nova: Japan's Killer Quake
Wednesday, February 27 at 9:00 p.m.
In its worst crisis since World War II, Japan faces disaster on an epic scale: a death toll in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear-reactor meltdowns.
The facts and figures are astonishing. The March 11, 2011 earthquake was the world's fourth-largest earthquake since record keeping began in 1900 and the worst ever to shake Japan. The seismic shock wave released more than 4,000 times the energy of the largest nuclear test ever conducted; it shifted the earth's axis by six inches and shortened the day by a few millionths of a second.
The tsunami slammed Japan's coast with 30-feet-high waves that traveled six miles inland, obliterating entire towns in a matter of minutes. "Japan's Killer Quake" combines authoritative on-the-spot reporting, personal stories of tragedy and survival, compelling eyewitness videos, explanatory graphics and exclusive helicopter footage for a unique look at the science behind the catastrophe.

Firefighters rescue horse trapped in tire
June 19, 2013
Some people hate Mondays, and now perhaps at least one horse in Barbour County does to....
It's all fun and games 'til someone gets stuck in a tire...Also I can send some plans for a water trough, simple yet effective design can be accomplished after school or on the weekend. Old bath tubs work real good and the city of Buckhannon is trying to enhance it's image. Maybe someone from Buckhannon who works over this way could haul an old wash tub over. Or I would be willing to meet you half way and deliver it. If ya'll let me drive that forklift for a little bit.

Yes Magic man, thanks for the real life experience, and insight into the mind of a horse. You missed your calling...but does pose a fair question to the journalist. For the love of God, give us closure, how did this story end?

NIAGARA FALLS – A woman and a man are accused of attacking a Niagara Falls man during an argument outside Honey's Pizza on Niagara Falls Boulevard just after 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Jacqueline R. Cochran, 35, of 72nd Street and Shane P. Damon, 35, of the same address, were charged each with third-degree assault.
The victim, 50, told police he was punched and kicked while trying to break up a fight among several people in the parking lot of the business. Police said an ambulance was called for the victim, who appeared to have a broken nose.

With a smile and the briefest of comments that she is feeling "much better," a fragile-looking Duchess of Cambridge left the hospital Thursday morning.
An expectant Kate walked out of King Edward VII hospital with husband William at around 10:45 a.m.
Just before she stepped into her waiting car, Kate – in a navy checked overcoat and light blue scarf and clutching a bouquet of yellow roses – softly answered questions from the ranks of media crews about how she was doing.
She and William then headed to their cottage home in the grounds of Kensington Palace where she will continue to rest.
Kate, 30, had spent three nights and nearly four days at the clinic after suffering severe morning sickness in what is said by the palace to be the "very early stages" of her pregnancy.
In a short statement released by their spokesman as she left, the couple thanked the hospital for her care.
"The Duchess of Cambridge has been discharged from the King Edward VII Hospital and will now head to Kensington Palace for a period of rest," the statement read. "Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment The Duchess has received."
William has been at the hospital every day throughout his wife's stay. On Wednesday, she had a visit from her sister Pippa, brother James and mother Carole.
"For the majority of women who have severe vomiting, things will get much better after about 12 weeks," Dr. Dagni Rajasingam, spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians, tells PEOPLE. "The important thing is to keep hydrated – small quantities regularly throughout the day. If [an expectant mother] needs intravenous rehydration, they will require admission [to the hospital]. In this case, we hope it isn't as severe or prolonged as it could be."
Earlier this week, as news broke that Kate was in the hospital, a close friend told PEOPLE: "She's in the right place, in the right hands."
"God bless her," the friend said. "She is such a lovely person, and I hope everything is absolutely fine for her."

Walden doctoral and master's students from the School of Management report key takeaways from global leaders in government, business, and economics.
Posted by Jerry Sweitzer
Posted on Friday, November 22, 2013
Walden students, faculty and staff at
World Business Forum
Eight doctoral and master's students from Walden's School of Management were selected to attend the 2013 World Business Forum Oct. 1–2 in New York City at Radio City Music Hall. The students had the opportunity to hear global leaders in government, business, and economics discuss the latest business trends and the biggest challenges in today's global marketplace. Among the world-renowned speakers at the World Business Forum were Gordon Brown, former prime minister of the United Kingdom; Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida; Clayton Christensen, professor in the Harvard Business School; and Jack Welch, former chair and CEO of General Electric.
Several Walden students shared their insights and key takeaways from their experience with Spotlight on Walden.
"My experience as an attendee of the World Business Forum completely altered my perspective on leadership, the future of business, and innovation. Clayton Christensen's talk on disruptive innovation had a profound impact on my professional growth and the very way I go about conducting business every day. The differentiation between causality and correlation has changed my understanding of my customers and seeking solutions. New knowledge that the customer should not be the unit of analysis, but instead to seek the answers focusing on causality—why they do what they do—has allowed me to analyze my past success and revisit the challenges to learn, grow, and better predict future market trends."
Melissa Graham, Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA), medical surgical account executive, Ecolab, from Shrewsbury, Mass.
>"The human focus on business was evident to me from listening to some of the world's greatest leaders and speakers. Hearing firsthand that organizational leaders with strong values can drive business success provided reinforcement for me to keep value-based leadership as a key priority in business."

"To hear each speaker's story, their take on economic issues, business approaches, and their optimism on how struggling economies could still overcome today's turmoil, was absolutely inspiring. I noticed that at one point in their lives each one had an idea, each one felt the need to make a difference, and even though there was doubt and insecurity in their minds, they still pursued their dream no matter what the obstacles. I have felt the same way many times. I could tell that some of them were afraid of failure, just like I have been; and I realized that it is perfectly OK to feel that way, so long as we believe that fear is just a small feeling we must face and defeat."

"I noticed a couple of recurring themes throughout the conference. Every speaker discussed the importance of education in being successful and for improving the world in which we live; as individuals, as organizations, and as a nation. I found this very satisfying, being a student of Walden University. If there was one message that I would like to convey to anyone, young or old, it would be the importance of lifelong learning. I was also pleased with the genuine attention that all the speakers gave to the online learning environment."
