University passes 22nd consecutive balance budget
Mount Allison University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Campbell.
SACKVILLE, N.B. – Tuition for full-time students is up $150 as Mount Allison's Board of Regents approved the university's 2013-14 operating budget at its spring meeting.
This is the 22nd consecutive balanced operating budget for Mount Allison.
"This budget was a challenging one, given the current economic climate and government operating grants remaining at the same levels as previous years," says Mount Allison University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Campbell. "We recognize the province's present financial situation. The entire Mount Allison community has worked together to remain fiscally-sound and debt-free, without negatively affecting the student experience and the academic mission of the university."
Tuition for full-time Canadian students will increase by $150, as per the cap suggested by the New Brunswick government ($7,245 for full-time Canadian students). A portion of this increase is being allocated to directly fund financial support for students.
"Mount Allison has one of the most generous scholarship and bursary programs, per capita, in the Maritimes with $2.6 million allocated to assist students this year," says Campbell. "While there will be challenges ahead, we are committed to maintaining quality programming in a sustainable manner, including one of the lowest student: teacher ratios in Canada."
Mount Allison has also been able to embark on many campus projects outside the operating budget with the completion of the JUMP Mount Allison fund raising campaign in 2012. The capital campaign raised over $96-million in just eight years and funded many projects on campus, including the Wallace McCain Student Centre, the Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies, and the Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts, currently under construction.
The university's 2013-14 Operating Budget is available online — http://www.mta.ca/administration/financial/budget.html

A Charleston development the size of a small city is hurtling toward realization with only a handful of people aware of what could be in store.
Cainhoy Plantation is a 9,000-acre tract of wooded land marbled with wetlands and overlooking the Wando River, Nowell Creek and the East Branch of the Cooper River. It is prized by conservationists and preservationists alike. Not only is it home to rare species of birds and to mature stands of the diminished longleaf pine tree, but it borders the historic St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish Church, and it still bears signs of the Road to Calais that traversed it in the early 19th century or before.
The Guggenheim family bought Cainhoy Plantation years ago as a place to hunt and entertain guests, who included Harry S. Truman.
On Nov. 20, the city of Charleston Planning Commission is scheduled to consider how that beautiful place could be transformed into a site with as many as 19,000 units of housing, plus light industrial, commercial and retail space.
But the master plan had not been finalized as of Friday, and it has therefore had precious little scrutiny by the public or the Planning Commission. The commission should defer consideration of the master plan and take it up only after the project's planners hold a series of public charettes to solicit input from the broader community, which would feel a significant impact.
Even with limited information about the plan, knowledgeable people like Coastal Conservation League director Dana Beach have serious reservations about it. For example, they question the plan's light industrial zoning for part of the property across narrow Cainhoy Road from the Francis Marion National Forest. It is near forest acreage which periodically requires controlled burning to protect its longleaf pines.
Critics contend further that the information provided so far is too little, too late to allow reasonable, helpful input.
Perhaps there are alternatives that the developer didn't consider. The Guggenheims obviously valued the rural beauty of Cainhoy Plantation. Perhaps the present owners — members of the family and Guggenheim Capital — would opt to keep it undeveloped if they were given an economically viable way to do so.
The Daniel Island Company, which is handling the planning process for the owners, held one public meeting on Oct. 13 where neighbors expressed concerns about traffic and access to family graveyards. Matt Sloan of the Daniel Island Company said adjustments have been made in light of their recommendations. Just think how much helpful input the company could get if it held well-advertised, convenient meetings where people with different perspectives could speak.
Owners of nearby historic properties have experience that should be of interest. Several corporations with a presence in the area have granted easements on most of their property to protect it in perpetuity. Historians could describe Cainhoy Plantation's significance to the rice culture and explain why the area around it was named a National Historic District.
Environmentalists could provide data about the native habitat and about how industrial uses too near the forest could be problematic.
Other developers could talk about how they planned for major projects like the one under consideration at Cainhoy and found alternate ways to build on the land without destroying its rural character. East Edisto is one example, and Poplar Grove is another.
At 9,000 acres, Cainhoy Plantation is similar in size to the Charleston peninsula from the Battery north to include Wagener Terrace. Of that, 5,000 acres are developable. The city approved nominal zoning for the property back in 1998.
The company is now ready to sell 100 acres for a Berkeley County high school, and to move forward on a major development. But no deal for the school property would justify rushing through the master planning process.
Now is the time to consider this mammoth project in context, and ensure that it is good for such a historic, rural area.

Dora R. Bertram
Washington University in Saint Louis - School of Law
July 15, 2010
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 10-08-03
For better or worse, the U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking of law schools is the most prominent and widely used ranking by all constituencies having an interest in legal education. The rankings have triggered impassioned responses and a significant body of commentary and analysis. This comprehensive annotated bibliography documents the wide variety of literature analyzing the rankings and explaining why the rankings are loved by some and hated by many. A brief history of the ranking of institutions of higher education, including law schools, provides background and puts today's debate in context. This study was commissioned as part of the work of the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, Special Committee on the U.S. News and World Report Rankings.

Milbank: Rolls-Royce of populists
Meet Willard Mitt Romney, champion of the common man.
"Do you realize over the last four years the median income in America has dropped every single year?" the candidate asked his supporters during a stop in Springfield, Va., last week. "At the same time," he added, "food prices are up; electric prices are up; gas prices have doubled. These are tough times for the American people."
But these are not tough times for a lot of Romney boosters, judging by the look of things.
Romney made this stand for the little guy in the heart of Fairfax County, which has the second-highest median household income in the nation (neighboring Loudoun is No. 1). Seemingly everyone in the 200-person crowd was fingering a smart phone, with the exception of the guy in the polo shirt in the second row reading the Wall Street Journal, and the guy in the eighth row in a linen blazer checking the Drudge Report on his iPad.
To get a better sense of the economic status of the invitation-only crowd, I strolled the parking lot -- and found a fleet of BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and Cadillac SUVs, and sports cars bearing the Jaguar, Audi, Lexus and BMW labels. Parked near the entrance: a black Rolls-Royce Silver Spur III with vanity plates saying "MY ROLLS" -- and a Romney bumper sticker.
When it comes to speaking up for the downtrodden, Romney isn't just another man of the people. He is the Rolls-Royce of populists. With evidence building that his prospects have been hurt by his dismissal of nearly half the country as moochers, Romney has been making it his job to worry about the 47 percent he said it wasn't his job to worry about.
But when such an appeal is attempted by a man who has painstakingly crafted for himself a public image combining Scrooge McDuck and Thurston Howell, there is bound to be a certain amount of awkwardness and inconsistency.
Consider, for example, his new ads showing him speaking in front of a sooty group of coal miners, as various miners in their Appalachian accents criticize Obama's coal policy. But the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported that the miners who appeared behind Romney in the ad had had their shifts canceled early -- and they weren't paid for the lost time while they stood on the stage behind Romney.
Why the Baron of Bain would be making a late appeal to the downtrodden is obvious. The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that Americans regarded Romney's "47 percent" remarks negatively, 54 percent to 32 percent.
But the outreach to the 47 percent he viewed as parasites furthers the impression that Romney is inauthentic -- an impression encouraged by the candidate's contrived delivery.
At a speech in an American Legion hall to a group of veterans, Romney, who didn't mention veterans in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention, built up the part of his usual stump speech where he promises to increase Pentagon spending (while also cutting taxes and the deficit).
Romney, champion of the little guy, then took his motorcade to downtown Washington for a $50,000-a-plate fundraising dinner.
Even a man of the people needs to eat.

Tuesday's District 10 softball highlights, April 22
The McDowell softball team overcame a four-run deficit to defeat Strong Vincent 13-8 in a Region 7 contest at Harding Elementary School on Tuesday.
The Colonels scored five runs in the second inning to take a 7-3 lead, but the Trojans began chipping away in the third when Kourtney Baker belted a solo home run.
The Trojans (5-1, 4-0) added a pair of runs in the fourth, then took advantage of some defensive miscues by Strong Vincent in the top of the sixth to take control.
With one out, Emma Timpano hit a long triple and scored on an overthrow. Crystal Flagg then reached base on an error, and was driven in by Jenna Pecar's triple. After Pecar scored to make it 9-7, Emily Lojewski added some insurance when her double drove in Bailey Burns, who was pinch-running.
The Trojans added three more runs in the seventh to ensure the win.
Pecar finished with four hits and four RBIs, while Lojewski went 3-for-5 for McDowell.
Lydia Jobczynski had four RBIs for Strong Vincent (4-4, 4-2).
- Corry 13, Meadville 0: At Corry, Shannon Baker threw a five-inning no-hitter to lead the Beavers (7-2, 4-0) over the Bulldogs (1-6, 0-4) in a Region 6 game.
Baker dazzled throughout her five innings of work as she struck out nine. An error prevented her from recording a perfect game.
Baker also contributed at the plate with three hits and three RBIs, and teammate Megan Prody chipped in with three hits.

WALKER -- No one was seriously hurt today after a two-car collision on Alpine Avenue NW sent one of the vehicles careening into a Taco Bell.
The restaurant had damage to the front facade after a Toyota car plowed into an arch, but no one inside was injured.
Walker police Sgt. Rob Shoemaker said a mini-van was going north on Alpine Avenue and the Toyota driver was going south, trying to make a left turn onto Center Drive NW with a flashing red light.
The Toyota driver did not see the mini-van and turned, crashing nearly head-on into the mini-van. The collision spun the Toyota 180-degrees, Shoemaker said, and the car then slipped into reverse and went over a curb and down a hill before hitting the restaurant.
The occupants of the vehicles had minor injuries. Shoemaker said the Toyota driver likely will be cited for disobeying a traffic signal.

Upper East Side 'Pool Party' Goes for Gold
And the gold medal for most inventive event we've been to so far this year goes to…Darcy Miller Nussbaum. She hosted a "pool party" in her Upper East Side apartment to celebrate Asphalt Green and its recent Olympian, the 17-year-old Brooklyn swimmer Lia Neal, who returned from London with the Bronze.
Ms. Miller Nussbaum has experience with this sort of thing. The editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings, she is a "celebrations expert," the kind of person who has a crafting room in her home with color-coordinated pens and markers. Meanwhile, her husband, Andy Nussbaum, an attorney, is the chairman of the board of Asphalt Green, a rare 50-meter pool in the area, which he joined when he first moved to New York City.
"We teach children who are 4 months old all the way up to older people how to get in the water," said Carol Tweedy, Asphalt Green's executive director. A program provides free swim lessons during the school day to over 5,000 kids a year, she added. "It's about developing a lifetime fitness habit, not just making sure they're drowning-safe."
Asphalt Green, said Mr. Nussbaum, was really the inspiration of one of the founding donors, Al Zesiger, who was at the cocktail party with his wife, Barrie. (Nancy Jarecki, Martha Stewart and Kate and Andy Spade were also guests.)
"It was Al's dream that there would be a pool and one day we'd send someone to the Olympics," Mr. Nussbaum said. "For Asphalt Green to send only the second woman of color on the U.S. swim team, that's a landmark achievement. It's years and years of work going into 50 seconds in the water. Those three minutes on the awards platform, that was such a signature moment."
So, of course, there would have to be a party. Mr. Nussbaum originally suggested something simple, like "wine and cheese," he said. "That's really the last I knew about it."
"Any party I do has to be personalized," said Ms. Miller Nussbaum, and so she began to plan when she and her husband returned home from the Olympics in August.
"I wanted to transform my apartment as much into a pool as I could," she said.
First thing that happened: The Nussbaums ran into Essie Weingarten at the Upper East Side restaurant Sette Mezzo. Ms. Weingarten sold her nail polish company, Essie, to L'Oréal in 2010.
"Essie said she loved watching the swimming and that she'd make a sea-foam kind of blue nail polish," Ms. Miller Nussbaum said.
"I said, 'Count me in,'" said Ms. Weingarten, who renamed an existing color "Asphalt Green for the Olympic Dream" and produced party favor bottles in 30 days. What was the color called before? "I can't tell you, you yenta!" Ms. Weingarten said.
Then Ms. Miller Nussbaum asked the cookie company Eleni's to make cookies in the shape of bathing suits. She called a downtown bakery named Shellco and asked if they could make blue petit fours and blue doughnuts. For the party, she lined the blue doughnuts along a big piece of Lucite over a blue piece of wrapping paper to make it look like a pool. Lanes were demarcated by whole punches of red and white paper.
Then there was the candy, which Ms. Miller Nussbaum ordered from places like Ohnuts.com and Candy.com, all in various grades of blues, from Jordan almonds to gummy dolphins. Her regular collaborator, Peter Callahan, who makes bite-size foods, helped on the hors d'oeuvres, which included smoothies, "relay bars," little smoked-salmon fish with wasabi eyes and caviar on crackers in the shape of life-savers.
Mr. Callahan brought trays that were meant to look like swimming pools, embellished by cutouts of swimmers Ms. Miller Nussbaum had designed and drawn. The production designer David Stark, meanwhile, helped embellish the underwater surroundings with seaglass blue vases.
When guests walked in, they were given medals that were actually chocolates, as well as pool whistles. Both were personalized for Asphalt Green. As for beverages, Ms. Miller Nussbaum conceived of a "shallow end" beverage (that was lemonade) and a "deep end" beverage (that had Stoli in it.) "They had different straws in them so people did not get confused," she explained. She also set up a makeshift photo booth with the help of an uptown portrait studio called Photo Op; photos were printed "backstage" in her crafting room.
"This is the classiest party I've ever been to," remarked Ms. Neal, who was wearing her own shade of celebratory blue nail polish. "Everything looks beautiful beyond what I could've imagined. Everyone looks very sharp."
Ms. Miller Nussbaum conceded that she didn't expect anyone having a pool party of their own to do all these things, "but even if you did one thing, like lining up the blue doughnuts to look like a pool, or getting whistles, it can be fun."
Actually, scratch that about the whistles, Ms. Miller Nussbaum said. "After I included those, I thought, Why did I give my three children whistles? It was the stupidest thing I've ever done."

Tom's of Maine deodorant, essential oils for the body, such as sandalwood and musk, Wen for the hair, for the face- the Origins counter at Macy's or Dillard's has a range of products.
P.S. you might not have these thing in Norway...
Ok, so I was wondering about skin care products for us men, because we all know women have the luxury of choosing lots and lots of products from the top shelf, even though some are bad and some are good.
I have been thinking alot about all the products i have been using for years, like perfume, deodorants, moisturizers (it gets cold in Norway ) and since I've stepped into the Primal program I have removed my usual deodorant, perfume is long gone (because my skins gets red-ish of the alcohol) and now I use coconut oil as deodorant and a body moisturizer.
What I would like to hear from the guys is what kinds of brands (of perfume, deodorants, oils etc..)you're using, and if so, would recommend it to us all? We gotta look good for the ladies, you know..

I'm not a man, but since I'm part of the demographic you're hoping to attract (single female), my thoughts might be worthwhile to you. I strongly prefer a man's clean, natural scent to any sort of perfume or deodorant. If you wish to use some kind of scent, keep it as light and natural as possible—and use one that enhances your natural scent, rather than covers it up.
My moisturizer of choice is coconut oil too—I get the plain, unrefined kind in the oils section of the grocery store and it works just fine. I don't think we really need all the additives that body lotions often have in there. It would be such a pleasant surprise to encounter a gent who smells lightly of coconut!
inquisitiveone: Hey, all suggestions, male and female, are welcomed with open arms.
eraserheadgirl: What I can't get here, I can get it somewhere else..
Coconut oil or nothing.

Essential oils man. All the big, long lasting, expensive scents typically are based on EOs. So just incorporate them into your body care routine and because they are all natural, you can experiment too.
Favorites are:
Sandalwood (but expensive right now, however it may be cheaper from where you are)
Tonka Bean
Black Pepper
You can add it to your deodorant too.
AS a woman (and a soapmaking business owner) I can tell you that women like earthy scents on men (80% of my sales to women, buying for their men were earthy scents), we like natural, we like you smelling like you were just outdoors chopping wood, working up a light sweat, muscles are twinging....
My top selling scent contains:
Italian Bergamot, Apple Wood and Tonka Bean to round out the darker, more sensuous Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Oakmoss. Cardamom, Vanilla Bourbon and allspice give it a spicy undertone.

Due to extreme multiple chemical sensitivity, I had to do extensive research on this subject because I was an absolute cosmetic/fragrance junkie, and I got very sick.
There are no non-toxic fragrances, except for true essential oils. A product that lists "Fragrance" on its label is usually an artificial toxic fragrance made in a lab. Colognes/Perfumes contain things like formaldehyde, toluene, etc. Stay AWAY from department store products. They are full of synthetic chemicals, and they lie all the time. The entire business is totally self-regulated, no FDA, etc., and it is one big pile of deception, even the so-called "natural" products. Don't be sucked in to their advertising, because you are paying for the branding - the "name" and the packaging. Most of the product "lines" are made in only a couple of factories, and contain the same exact base ingredients, just re-arranged on the package ingredient listing. Companies that claim they are natural and organic are owned by a few big companies like Estee Lauder and Lancome, etc. They drop in a few buzzwords like "organic" and put a drop of essential oil in their products, amidst a ton of chemicals, and then call them "natural."
Coconut oil, Almond oil, and Jojoba oil are great base moisturizers, and citrus-based essential oils, imo, are clean and fresh-smelling. You can buy small bottles of essential oils and put a few drops in a spray bottle with purified water, and use as a scented spritz, or put a few drops in a jar with a carrier oil, such as almond oil for a moisturizer. Pure Shea Butter is solid at room temperature and it is great for a lip balm and a hair styler. If you want it to be scented, you can add a bit of vanilla. A little bit of scent goes a long way, less is more, imo. I don't know if they ship to Norway, but Mountain Rose Herbs has everything you need and more.
There ARE non-toxic fragrances out there that are phalate free, and are made from blends of natural esters and EOs (which is what I use in my FO based soaps). The oils I use are also OILS and not alcohol based, which means that I can use them at such a TINY percentage compared to the big guys because they are looking for max bang for their buck (read-cheap). Companies using the statement "parfum" on their labels can also be using EOs as the label applies to both FO and EO use. There are no regulations on the word "natural" this is true. Technically speaking, everything on this planet is considered "natural", even my car. But there are safeguards in place for the industry to ensure that they are adhering to safeguards when it comes to B&B products. The fragrace makers are regulated to an extent, the reason why they do not have to list the ingredients in their blends is because they are considered proprietary, which is why the word "parfum" is a catch-all.
That said, the FDA considers B&B products to be a wash off product, so they can get away with a lot that makes me cringe. I'm not trying to defend big business, but AS a soapmaker, with a soapmaking business I attempt to make natural and ethically made products that I can not only feel safe using, but selling to other people.
A great website is www.cosmeticsdatabase.com, where you can plug in your products and see the story.
In MY opinion, the real problem is with the cleaners, room fresheners and other scented products, THEY have absolutely NO safeguards when it comes to scenting their products. They are everywhere, and are making us all very very sensitive to chemicals.
There are also TOXIC essential oils out there, and citrus can be especially difficult to work with. Just because it's from nature, doesn't mean it isn't dangerous or toxic. Jasmine can cause miscarriage, the citrus family can cause photo-sensitivity and can affect various medications, rosemary can lower blood pressure, lemongrass (phototoxin), verbena (irritant), Cinnamon (irritant), wintergreen (a mere 1/2 tsp can kill a child). I'm sure you get the picture.
Here in Canada I have to disclose ALL of my recipes to Health Canada, all of my soap/B&B recipes are sent into HC Compliance and I have to disclose to them in what percentages that I am using of every ingredient. Not everyone does though, which is a major irritant to me, because I play by the rules. We are also given a giant list of cosmetic ingredients that we have to abide by ie: peppermint useage at no more than 1.5% of the total formulation etc. I will put "parfum" on the label where I have a special blend of EOs in my formulation. I already have an issue with other B&B makers here trying to copy my product, I'll be dammed if I'll give them my blend secrets. And no, I cannot just put "essential oils" on the label. Its, list them with their proper INCI names in descending usage, or use the "catch all" label of Parfum.
WE ARE regulated.
There is one chick here that makes cinnamon EO soap. Cinnamon EO is a natural skin irritant and contains a chemical that is used in "plumping" products because it brings the blood to the skins surface. Fun times for the naughty bits. She makes me want to scream.

|Kristen Norris, 14, won honorable mention in youth short story for those 14 and younger. She is in the eighth grade at Kalamazoo Country Day School. She lives in Portage with her parents, Mary and Dave Norris.
By Kristen Norris
Thomas stood up horrified. Horrified by his mistake, horrified by his circumstance and horrified by the sound he heard. He stood there, dumbstruck. His wife, Kendall, rushed to his aid. She took his hand and led him through the sea of laughing faces to the restroom pavilion.
"Why don't you go in there," she pointed to the men's room door, "and wipe off as much paint as you can, while I go get the car. I'll pick you up right over there."
She gestured toward a circular gravel drive, waited for him to go in the restroom, and then headed back through the crowd toward the car. She was a few yards away from the outskirts of the crowd when she heard someone approaching her.
"Well, that was smooth." The crowd broke into laughter again while the voice chuckled at its own wit. Kendall recognized the voice of her boss, Matt Sinclare. Her muscles tensed at the snide comment aimed at her husband. She continued walking and rounded a corner to the parking lot. Matt followed her.
Matt jeered, "Does your husband usually sit on clearly labeled, freshly painted, wet picnic tables?"
Unable to control her rage at his cruelty, Kendall whirled around and slapped him across his cheek. Matt let out a shriek of pain and put his hand to his cheek. Kendall saw three drops of blood fall on the pavement. She took a few more strides toward her car and popped the trunk. She took out an old brown towel and closed the trunk.
After a couple seconds, Matt regained his usual calm and asked her, while taking a small step back to avoid another blow, "Are you going to answer me or not?"
Kendall finished spreading the towel on the passenger seat of her car, discreetly took a deep breath to steady her voice, and turned around.
She threw her hands up and asked, "What do you want me to say?" She noticed that Matt had three long, deep cuts on his cheek.
Kendall's usual warm chocolate-brown eyes had changed into icy, steel-plated vaults.
"Well, there has to be something going on because, although I don't consider your husband a rocket scientist, he's smart enough to not sit on ..."
Kendall interrupted, "he can't read."
Matt felt like he'd been slapped again. He managed to force out the words, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Kendall's icy eyes flared as she spun around, flung the car door open, got in the car and left to pick up Thomas.
It was one of the most torturous weekends Matt had ever experienced. He kept playing the scene in his mind, over and over and over again. His hand flew to his cheek every time she slapped him.
Matt decided he needed to apologize, somehow, to Thomas and Kendall. He sat in his living room for hours, trying to figure out what he was going to do. He racked his brains for some way he could make up for what he had done.
He walked into his room and got ready for bed. The comfortable, fuzzy blanket enveloped his body and his mind slipped into thinking that everything was good and peaceful in the world.
Matt was walking toward the center of Grenberry Park for the company picnic. It was a perfect day for a picnic, the sun was gracing the Earth with its cheerful presence, the birds were singing to anyone who would listen, and the grass was reaching up to the tranquil blue sky. He said "hi" to his friends and got in line for some food. He picked up some fruit, passed on some veggies, and got a hot dog with ketchup.
He waited for Kendall and her husband to finish getting their food and walked to the nearest picnic table. Matt saw a sign on the table that said something, but he couldn't read it. He brushed the thought aside and sat down anyway. He was shocked when something wet soaked through his pants . He stood back up slowly and slowly swiveled his head around to see picket-fence-white paint leering back at him.
Suddenly, an eruption of laugher shook his mind, and dozens of fingers pointed at him. Matt felt a rope appear on his neck. He looked down to see that it was attached to a sign; he turned it over to read it but was confused because all he saw were symbols, there weren't any letters!
He heard someone jeer, "He can't even read!"
Matt shot up out of the covers. He was hot and sweaty from his nightmare. He replayed his dream in fast-forward mode, cringing when he saw the paint.
Matt thought about the real company picnic, and how badly he had wounded Thomas and Kendall. He decided he would write them a letter saying how sorry he was.
While he was writing the letter he decided he would give it to Kendall so she could read it to Thomas. He got up, walked into the kitchen, and placed the letter on the counter so he would see it when he left for work. Matt clambered back into bed and immediately fell back into a truly peaceful sleep.
He awoke to a crisp morning. He readied himself for work, packed his briefcase, picked up the letter and drove to work.
Kendall was sitting in a bright yellow rolling chair, drinking an enormous cup of coffee. She swiveled to face him.
He held out the letter for her and said, "This is for your husband and you." She took the envelope cautiously, as if she expected it to contain anthrax. Matt walked back to his cubicle.
Kendall opted to put the letter in her purse and save it for later. She swiveled back to her desk, and continued working on a form that a colleague needed by lunch.
Two minutes later, she extracted the letter and called Thomas. She quickly explained the circumstances, opened the letter and began to read it to him:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Winthrop, I must begin by saying how sorry I am. I had no idea that I was causing you both so much pain. Please accept this as my apology. I am so very sorry for the grief I caused."
Kendall flipped to the next page of the letter, "Dear Sir, we currently have a maintenance position open at our company. We would like to extend an offer to you. If you choose to accept, you will be part of our dental and health plans, as well as our unique educational plan, allowing you to work part time with tuition benefits. Please contact my secretary and she will discuss terms with you. Sincerely, Matt Sinclare."

Combs sparks Fort LeBoeuf's comeback win over North East
WATERFORD -- Austin Combs is quickly becoming a household name in Waterford.
Combs scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns Friday as Fort LeBoeuf rallied for a thrilling 20-14 Region 4 win over North East in front of a Homecoming crowd of more than 500 at Carm Bonito Field.
"We just need to keep playing Bison football," Combs said. "We have to stay confident, and who knows, maybe we'll pull off a win next week."
Fort LeBoeuf improved to 4-1 overall and 4-0 in Region 4, setting up a showdown in Albion next week against Northwestern. The Wildcats beat Corry 42-7 on Friday to remain in a first-place tie with the Bison.
After rallying from a 14-point deficit, Fort LeBoeuf was able to drive down to the North East 20-yard line with 28.4 seconds left. With the game tied 14-14, the Bison lined up for a 30-yard field-goal attempt that had the distance but hooked just left of the goal post.
Instead of letting the miss deflate them, the Bison came up big on defense.
"I think Anthony Rivera stripped the ball, and I saw it lying on the ground," Combs said.
"I picked it up and was just thinking to run as hard as I could," Combs said.
Combs returned the fumble 20 yards for a touchdown to give the Bison an improbable comeback win.
Fort LeBoeuf was able to move the ball in the first half, but North East (2-3, 2-2) kept coming up with defensive stops and turnovers. Justin Galvin threw two interceptions in the first half, one that led to a Grapepickers touchdown on the ensuing drive. North East took a 14-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Galvin earned his payback in the second half. He led the Bison down the field to start the third quarter, and plowed in from 5 yards out, taking two tacklers with him, to cut the North East lead to 14-7.
The Bison defense, led by Nate Conti and Justin Kula, then came up with a huge defensive stop to force a punt late in the fourth quarter. The Bison front seven made itself at home in the North East backfield in the second half as the 'Pickers finished with just 190 yards of total offense.
With time running out and Fort LeBoeuf facing third-and-long on its 25-yard line, Galvin threw a 20-yard pass to Combs, who took off for the end zone.
"We knew time was running out and we wanted to get 15-20 yards," Fort LeBoeuf coach Jeff Nichols said about the 75-yard touchdown. "Austin was able to get behind the defense and Justin threw a great ball. We work on it all the time, and the kids worked hard to come back. They didn't quit, and that's been our motto all year, to play until the end."
Garrett Owens led North East with 74 yards on 19 carries, including a 25-yard touchdown, while Brendon Tinko hauled in a 26-yard touchdown pass and had an interception on defense.
Cy Carroll paced Fort LeBoeuf with 51 rushing yards, followed by 50 from Combs and 44 from Collin Fish.

SACE | Southern Alliance for Clean Energy
State Energy Overview
Georgia is blessed with the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the fertile soils of the southern piedmont and the rich diversity of the coastal plain. However, each of these regions is threatened by our ever-changing climate. And unstable water resources, a vulnerable coastline and little political leadership make for an even more dangerous combination in Georgia.
Although some local governments are showing leadership on climate and energy issues, concerned voices are mostly overshadowed by the influence of powerful electric utilities. Georgia's heavy reliance of fossil fuels contributes to climate change, and the state's reliance on nuclear and coal overburdens limited water resources. Many of the state's utilities show little sign of movement with large nuclear and coal plants under proposal.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is recognized to be the fastest, most cost effective, cleanest and most underutilized fuel at our disposal. According to a Georgia Tech study, full deployment of energy efficiency could offset the need to build more power plants in Georgia until 2020. Yet Georgia's electric utilities fall way short of tapping this rich resource. You can read more about energy efficiency in Georgia by visiting our Learn About page, here, and in our blogs on the 2013 Georgia Power Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) decision.
Georgia has gone from about 20 megawatts (MW) of solar in 2012, to what is anticipated to be over 1,000 MW by the end of 2016. This enormous growth crowned Georgia as the "fastest growing solar market" in the United States in 2013. The growth in solar comes from a combination of utility and Public Service Commission (PSC) leadership. First there was Georgia Power's Large-Scale Solar (LSS) Initiative which is supposed to add 49 MW of large-scale solar by 2015. Then came Georgia Power's proposed Advanced Solar Initiative (ASI) – approved in November 2012 and launched in early 2013 – whereby Georgia Power seeks to acquire 210 MW of solar (made up of 120 MW in utility-scale solar and 90 MW of distributed generation) by 2016. Although Georgia Power had no plans to include solar in their 2013 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), a motion by Commissioner Lauren "Bubba" McDonald required that Georgia Power add another 525 MW of new solar generation by 2016, in addition to and as an expansion on what is already slated in the Advanced Solar Initiative. On top of these programs, Georgia Power is slated to bring on at least 120 MW of solar for military bases, and the Cobb Electric Municipal Cooperative (Cobb EMC) plans to bring on 131 MW to diversify their energy mix.
At the end of 2014, Georgia had 161 MW of solar installed in the state. There will be major activity over the next couple years as Georgia works toward fulfilling it's targets and existing contracts. To add even further to this growth, a bill that would allow third-party financing in Georgia is steadily moving through the state legislature (as of March 2015), and if passed, would have the potential to significantly expand distributed solar development opportunities for electric customers in the state. You can learn more about solar by visiting our Learn About page, here.
State and local leaders are taking a closer look at Georgia's significant offshore wind potential as well as wind energy opportunities in the North Georgia mountains and coastal areas. Our analysis shows that wind energy in Georgia (predominantly offshore) offers the largest potential of any renewable resource in the state over the long term. Georgia Power recently announced it would be purchasing 250 megawatts of wind energy from Oklahoma, citing the low cost of the fuel-free resource. With these new wind turbines, over 8,000 megawatts (MW) of land-based wind potential currently exist in Georgia. Developing just one gigawatt of wind energy capacity (1,000 MW) in Georgia (one-eighth of Georgia's onshore potential) could power more than 255,500 homes a year! You can read more about wind by visiting our Learn About page, here.
Entrepreneurs are taking note of Georgia's abundant bioenergy resources,and independent power producers and utilities are looking at options to build projects. Our analysis shows Georgia has a significant amount of commercially available and sustainable biopower capacity. However, utilizing any of these resources will need to be done carefully and require thorough assessments of need, resource availability and other demands, water use, biodiversity, carbon, soil quality, air quality and other economic and environmental impacts. A project in Barnesville, Piedmont Green Power, and another in Macon are in their final stages of development. Many other projects have been proposed for the state, but the prospects for their development remain unclear, based on factors including resource availability, federal regulations and laws, financing and environmental impacts. You can read more about bioenergy by visiting our Learn About page, here.
There are currently 9 coal plants throughout the state, all owned primarily by Georgia Power (a Southern Company). Georgia Power received approval from the Public Service Commission (PSC) on March 20, 2012 to retire two coal-fired generating units at Plant Harllee Branch in Putnam County. In early 2013, the company announced plans to retire the remaining two units at Plant Branch, along with all three units at Plant Kraft in Savannah and five out of seven units at Plant Yates in Coweta County. The Public Service Commission approved the retirements on July 11, 2013. The remaining units at Plant Yates will be converted to burn natural gas, and Plant McIntosh will burn a different type of coal; Plant Mitchell is being considered for conversion to burn gas or biomass. As of 2008, Georgia Power spent a total of about $2.6 billion on coal annually. The state was at number 9 in the list of the top 15 states for coal health impacts; in 2010, the Clean Air Task Force estimated there were 396 hospitalizations, 728 heart attacks and 536 deaths related to pollution from coal plants in Georgia. Also in 2010, 53.3% of energy in Georgia came from coal. Even though dependence on coal has declined from 64.7% in 2000, it is still a dominant part of Georgia's energy mix. You can read more about coal by visiting our Learn About page, here.
In addition to creating air pollution, Georgia's power plants produce nearly 6.1 million tons of toxic coal ash every year. The ash is mostly dumped in unlined pits near waterways where it can pollute water used for drinking, fishing and recreation. Although it is one of the top coal ash generating states in the country, Georgia has some of the weakest coal ash disposal regulations in the United States.
Georgia is home to two nuclear plants, each with two reactors, operated by Southern Nuclear, a subsidiary of the Southern Company, Plant Hatch near Baxley along the Altamaha River and Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro along the Savannah River, with many more close by in neighboring states. Find a full overview of nuclear power facilities in and around Georgia here. Two Toshiba-Westinghouse AP1000 reactors are under construction at Plant Vogtle.
Nuclear power is expensive and risky. So much so that Wall Street won't finance new nuclear reactors. So instead, our utilities pass the costs on to the ratepayers to pay on monthly bills. In fact, some of us are already paying more in advance on our monthly power bills to finance the expensive new Vogtle reactors due to anti-consumer state legislation passed back in 2009.
Nuclear power is an extremely risky and expensive way to boil water to generate electricity. Though nuclear power plants do not release carbon dioxide like coal plants, they do release radioactive and hazardous materials, including long-lived, highly radioactive waste, that threaten our security, jeopardize our health and pollute our natural resources. The consequences of an accident or terrorist attack at a nuclear power plant could be devastating. Nuclear plants are also incredibly water-intensive, depleting limited and precious water resources. Building new nuclear generation is a waste of the valuable time and money needed to address global warming and a missed opportunity to invest in affordable energy efficiency measures and real renewable solutions, such as solar and wind, that can benefit our state's economy for generations to come.

Weld County commissioners are expected to pass a resolution on Monday that expresses their support of Second Amendment rights in light of President Barack Obama's mandates to control gun violence.
Coming less than a week after El Paso County commissioners passed the first resolution in Colorado that challenges Obama's executive orders, the Weld County resolution more broadly asserts commissioners' support for the right to bear arms.
The board of commissioners will meet and vote on the resolution at 9 a.m. Monday in the Weld County administration building, 1150 O St. in Greeley.
Weld County commissioner Sean Conway said the board also wished to support Weld County Sheriff John Cooke, who said two weeks ago that he won't enforce Obama's proposed gun restrictions.
The resolution states that "the vast majority of all lawfully owned firearms in the United States are not used in a crime," and "Americans are safer from violent crime than they have been at any time since the mid-1960s."
Commissioners in the resolution also urge Congress and state lawmakers to reject any international treaties or legislation that infringe on Second Amendment rights.

Trinity Medical Center should be allowed to build a new hospital in Irondale, an administrative law judge ruled this morning.
The case now goes before the Alabama Certificate of Need Review Board in May. Judge Michael Cole's ruling will not be binding but will serve as an advisory opinion.
Trinity, formerly Montclair Baptist Medical Center, has been working through the state approval process since the fall of 2006. Brookwood Medical Center opposed the $316 million project in December 2006, and Cole heard the case last fall.
Trinity's plans call for a 454-bed hospital on more than 100 acres off Interstate 459 at the Grants Mill Road exit, next to Pine Tree Country Club, Jefferson County's Dabbs technical school and the Shriners' Zamora Temple campus. The nine-story, 817,885-square-foot hospital would replace the current campus on Montclair Road in eastern Birmingham that opened in 1966. Trinity officials have said the hospital is outdated, in a difficult, hilly location to renovate and not conveniently located to the bulk of its patients.
Brookwood lawyers argued in the administrative hearing in October that Trinity's move would abandon needy patients in eastern Birmingham who could not travel to the new location in Irondale and would encroach on Brookwood's territory.

This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
The economic consequences of emigration on migrants' countries of origin have long been studied, yet the precise assessment of positive and negative impacts remains complex. This analysis finds that Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration when considering remittances and labor markets.
Texas has the second-largest number of English Language Learner (ELL) students in the nation. Using a unique longitudinal data set that tracks ELL and non-ELL students in Texas from first grade through high school, this report examines the trajectories and performance of individual groups.
This Transatlantic Council Statement examines both the challenge and opportunity for governments, in an era of skepticism about migration, to create a new definition of "we" based on a more inclusive idea of national identity and belonging, and to convince the broader society that investing in integration is an investment in shared futures.
The two sides of the debate on immigration and integration in Europe share an underlying assumption that the problem is cultural, while disagreeing on whether it is the result of too much or too little respect for cultural differences. This report contends that both get the issue wrong, calling attention to the inability of policies to ensure immigrants acquire and retain work.
For more than a decade, states have experimented with civic integration policies that require immigrants to learn the official language of their host country and acknowledge its basic norms and values—or risk losing social benefits and even residence permits. This report explores ways states can put forth smart policies that benefit natives and immigrants in host countries.
This report challenges the recent rhetoric and addresses the advancement of policy areas for countries, examining factors that impede or facilitate successful the implementation of multiculturalism. When these facilitating conditions are present, multiculturalism can be seen as a low-risk option, andhas worked well in such cases.
While policymakers are under increasing pressure to reduce illegal immigration, the estimated population of unauthorized immigrants in EU-15 countries has declined since 2002. European governments are collaborating on the management of their external borders, as this report details, discussing the detected and estimated scope of irregular migration in the European Union.

Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn, who grew up in the Mormon church, is talking openly about his decision to come out as gay.
Glenn came out to fans in Rolling Stone on Monday, and followed up with a Facebook post that details his relationship with music as a catalyst to go public.
"I'd be the 50-yr-old living with dogs hiding my relationships living on a beach somewhere. Maybe then I'd be comfortable with it," he writes. "But it was last summer, writing songs for the new album, being so fed up with 'hiding' and being so ready to be 'free' that I poured my heart out into music more than I'd ever had before."
"It was the moment I let myself write about the years spent in falling for my straight friend or the song I let myself write about thinking it was okay to be alone forever because it was better than explaining myself," Glenn, 30, writes.
"It was those truths that came out before I decided to. … But music never let me lie. Something always would come out in the songs."
Glenn said in the Rolling Stone interview that he began sharing his news with friends and family members last October as he was finishing songs for the group's new album, Pop Psychology.
Glenn, who grew up in Utah in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says he's found a way to embrace his sexuality and his spiritual beliefs.
"Come out as YOU. That's all I really can say," he writes to fans. "That's what I'd say to me at 21, the scared return[ed] Mormon missionary who knew this part of himself but loved God too. You can do both. Don't let anyone tell you you can't."

Featured Golf News
Amon Ware asks, How do you decide where to design the Sunday Pin location?
It's a factor of the green site, overall balance, course balance, hole balance, and wind. I prefer a nice mixture of "premium pin locations," ideally with each of the six possible premium pin locations featured twice, preferably one on each nine for ideal balance. Most single-target greens, by definition, have no premium pin locations; the green is so small that every pin is near the hazard and golfers aim to the middle. Likewise, many concept and conversation greens have no distinctly tougher pin locations.
The green site itself often dictates a green shape, which in turn dictates the Sunday Pin. For example, if the green site angles left, and also narrows as it goes back, it's easy to envision the back-left portion of the green as a small Sunday Pin target.
Relating the pin position to the wind is the key to creating the strategic dilemma. Golfers are most comfortable when their shot pattern keeps the ball over "safe ground" at all times. Their least desirable shot requires aiming over the hazard and "just missing" to hit the target. The chances for success diminish, and, consequently, more golfers play safely to the middle. Using the wind to help reach premium pin positions is an invitation for bold play. At the same time, it allows the golfer to "fudge" away from the hazards, making the middle of the green more inviting as well, thus increasing strategic choices and consequences.
Thus, if the prevailing winds blow left to right, suggesting a fade, I usually locate the premium pin somewhere on the right side of the green. A timid shot finds the middle of the green while an overplayed shot finds hazards, which golfers understand. If the Sunday Pin must be on the "upwind" side of the green, I enlarge the target area, or provide some assistance in reaching the pin through creative alternate routes.
There is more flexibility in premium pin locations on tailwind and headwind holes, but I like Sunday Pin locations at the back of the green on long (accentuating their length) and downwind holes to encourage aggressive play and at the front on short and headwind holes.
Tailwinds help golfers reach back pins through reduced club selection, reduced side spin, and in increased roll through reduced spin. A Sunday Pin at the front of a downwind hole may not be accessible, inducing conservative play, and reducing the golfer's dilemma.
On headwind holes, the wind reduces flight distance, but increases backspin, making carrying a hazard and stopping close to a front pin somewhat easier, thus encouraging aggressive play. Of course, you need an extra club to fight the wind, and the temptation when in doubt is to add too much to ensure clearing the hazard, thus increasing the dilemma.
However, there are some good exceptions, depending on individual green design. For example, Sunday Pins at the back of a long, headwind hole accentuate length, making long par-4s play long for longer hitters, while a Sunday Pin at the front of long, headwind holes can require maximum spin of a long iron, a good shot to test. And, on short holes, a back location on a short downwind hole, with a narrow green at the back might encourage a running shot to avoid lateral hazards.
It's impossible to follow any R.O.B.O.T. too closely, given that the natural qualities of green sites don't always perfectly fit our wind criteria. While the green will always sit comfortably (or uncomfortably) on its site, the wind doesn't always blow! So, the land should govern if all factors don't work together.
And some areas, like Texas, have four-season golf with diametrically opposed prevailing winds. Balancing difficult pin positions by designing for these winds on some holes may be preferable, or the course may be too difficult when winds don't follow the prevailing pattern.
Jeffrey D. Brauer and his firm, GolfScapes, have designed 40 golf courses and remodeled 80. Canterberry Golf Course in Parker, Colo., and Giants Ridge are rated among the best affordable public courses in the United States, while his Avocet Course at Wild Wing Plantation in Myrtle Beach, S.C., was a Golf Digest best new course winner, Champions Country Club is rated 5th in Nebraska and TangleRidge Golf Club is 12th in Texas. President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects during its 50th anniversary year in 1995-96, Brauer also designed Colbert Hills Golf Club at Kansas State, which opened in June 2000 as the cornerstone golf course for The First Tee program as well as the first collaboration between the PGA of America and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.

Sale of the Blues to Close Wednesday
It's been pretty tough to lift fans' spirits in the wake of the team's disappointing exit from the playoffs on Sunday afternoon. However, a recent report regarding the team's sale should make you smile. David Shoalts reports that the sale of the St. Louis Blues to the group lead by Tom Stillman has been completed. The sale just needs final approval before the sale officially closes on Wednesday. The team appears to finally have an owner.
Well that didn't take very long, did it? Sarcasm aside, the news comes at a time where St. Louis fans could use something to brighten their day.
I personally believed and hoped the sale of the Blues would be completed in the first half of the 2011-12 season. This would allow a new party to jump on board in time to make any necessary moves prior to the NHL trade deadline. The trade deadline came and went and the sale of the Blues lacked any serious information outside of rumors.
Rumors. Speculation. More rumors. This was the story all season long when it came down to the topic of what was going on with the sale of the Blues. Information was at a premium.
There was a concern that the unending saga of the team's fate off the ice might impact their play on it. Thankfully, this wasn't the case. The Blues surged through the regular season on a relatively small budget, making the club a better and better "buy-low" candidate with each passing win.
Tom Stillman, a name that should be pretty familiar to Blues fans, became a minority owner of the Blues back in March of 2007. He was believed to be forming a group to buy the Blues but was unable to reach an agreement with current majority owners TowerBrook Capitals Partners in a sale that would include not only the Blues but also the Peoria Rivermen and the lease to the Scottrade Center. Alleged deals sprang up only to be denied or to be lost to speculation.
A different name, Matthew Hulsizer of Chicago, popped into the mix. He quickly became the favorite to land the Blues. However, as quickly as his interest became known it was squashed when the NHL terminated a purchase agreement that Hulsizer had to buy the Blues.
Once again, Stillman's group appeared to be the favorite but they still had the obstacle of arriving at a price both sides could agree on. Meanwhile, the Blues continued to excel on the ice, making any contract seem like a brilliant one given the team's huge value on the ice that was fueled by mostly pennies.
Today, we finally have light at the end of the tunnel. Stillman's group has apparently closed on the Blues. The deal now goes before the NHL Governors and barring any unexpected surprised, should officially close on Wednesday.
Smile Blues fans. Your favorite team finally has some solid financial backing.

Publisher's Description
Her life began in the comparatively placid 1950s in Birmingham, Alabama, where black people lived in a segregated parallel universe to their white neighbors. She grew up during the violent and shocking 1960s, when bloodshed became a part of daily life in the South. Rices portrait of her parents, John and Angelena, highlights their ambitions and frustrations and shows how much they sacrificed to give their beloved only child the best chance for success. Rice also discusses the challenges of being a precocious child who was passionate about music, ice skating, history, and current affairs. Her memoir reveals with vivid clarity how her early experiences sowed the seeds of her political beliefs and helped her become a vibrant, successful woman.
Condoleezza Rice: A Memoir of My Extraordinary, Ordinary Parents and Me is a fascinating and inspirational story for young people. Includes a 16-page photo insert.

A Young Girl's Introduction to Poverty
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 01.07.02 | 12:44 AM ET
Lonnae O'Neale Parker's 7-year-old daughter, like a lot of American kids, was growing up measuring her worth by her collection of electronic gadgets, Powerpuff Girls and all things Barbie. "Look at these fragile children," Parker thought to herself, "with their underdeveloped sense of self-reliance and overdeveloped sense of entitlement." So she took her daughter, Sydney, on a month-long visit to Guatemala, in part "to dematerialize my material girl," she writes in a recent Washington Post story. Her touching account of their trip details Sydney's introduction to a way of life very different from their own. In one instance, a beggar asks Sydney for her Coke, and Parker wrestles with just how to explain the grinding poverty to her child. "I'm not sure I had the words to let a 7-year-old know how bad off you must be to beg for soda from tourists," Parker writes. "Some things, I decided, my child would have to process on her own."
2 Comments for A Young Girl's Introduction to Poverty
thats why us kids and in general those well-off should think twice before lamenting for things that unimportant, we should know that we are so much more luckier than those not able to eat 3 times a day!
wherecaniclub 07.11.08 | 9:14 PM ET
totally agree with you prayer, unfortunately kids now a days only think of what they have or better what they want to have, not taking into consideration the number of people dying for hunger and the malnutrition in the 3rd world countries!

Hugo Hernandez and his wife, Antonia, took over the compact space in February. "It was a little slow opening in winter, but things have really picked up." Hugo said. "I feel glad everything is going OK and just want to thank everybody for their support. Can I do that?" Hugo asked. Yes, I'll add that expression of gratitude.
After dropping in on a busy Saturday night, I experienced the support that Hugo was talking about. Spanish and English speaking families filled the handful of tables draped in pumpkin-colored cloths, while others stood in line for take-out that had been phoned in. There was plenty of wait staff scurrying around behind the counter and in front of the hot grill to keep orders punctual.
The menu consists of simply prepared Mexican items beginning with tacos, $6-$6.50 (beef tongue), and ending with tamales, $1.95, sopes, $7.25, combination platters, $8.75, and postres (desserts), $3.75-$4.50. And as slight as "al pastor" is mentioned on the menu, this "shepard-style" vertically grilled pork makes its presence known. The skewered, huge hunk of meat is slowly-cooked over an open grill (or spit). Hugo says he can put pieces of al pastor style pork in whatever you like, even if it's not listed on the menu.
American cheese slices held together smoky scribbles of al pastor cooked pork and grilled pineapple between grilled flour tortillas in an order of quesadillas, $6.95. I would have liked more substantial bites of the pork, instead of just a pinky finger taste interspersed with a complementing bit of sweetness from the fruit.
This withholding of larger pieces of meat was also evident in the fajitas, $12. Shoestring pieces of grilled beef and nuggets of chicken (yes, the chicken pieces were a little bit fatter) were intermingled among sauteed onions and sliced thin green peppers. The beef did not have much flavor.
Probably the most standout items on the plate were the warmed corn tortillas. Hugo says he travels at least once a week to El Sombrero Tortilla Factory in Avondale (I bet you thought they just produced mushrooms in that portion of the state) to get this quality of tortilla.
For the sopes, $7.25, however, Hernandez makes his own small round tortillas, the base to this bean- and beef-topped specialty. Refried beans also are made in house. Beans are spread down first, and then comes either grilled pieces of meat or the al pastor pork (I would go for the latter). Shredded lettuce, sour cream and dots of fresh Mexican cheese are showered over the meat. There are three open-faced tacos to an order.
If you want to boost the flavor of any meal, head to the condiment bar. Antonia makes a killer orange-colored sauce that snaps any ho-hum item to attention. There are milder sauces such as a creamy avocado sauce and a refreshing salsa of tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Jalapeno and radish slices and freshly chopped cilantro also are at the condiment table.
Chicken burrito, $7.50, doesn't need additional condiments. This pudgy tortilla bulged with rice, refried beans, chicken pieces, lettuce, cheese, tomato and sour cream. It was finger-licking and delicious.
Fried ice cream with an all bran and coconut coating is one of the house favorites, $4.50. Crunchy, yet with a soft interior, this ball of ice cream satisfies your sweet tooth.
Taco Shop Mexican Grill has found its southwestern niche along restaurant-heavy Paxton Street. The hard-working crew will be glad to accommodate any requests.

Students Travel from India to Complete Penn State Degree
Ten students from Mumbai, India are completing their information sciences and technology (IST) degrees at Penn State York thanks to the fulfillment of an agreement between Penn State and Vidyalankar School of Information Technology in India. The agreement signed two years ago allows Indian students to take part in a program that combines their first two years of university education in India with their final two years at Penn State York. This 2 + 2 program is a historic first step in preparing students to work in an international marketplace. The Vidyalankar School of Information Technology is affiliated with The University of Mumbai.
"The 10 students in York are just the beginning. This program will not only increase the number of international students at Penn State York, it will give our students the opportunity to work alongside future colleagues in the fields of information sciences and technology and to prepare themselves for careers in the global economy of the 21st century," said Joel M. Rodney, chancellor of Penn State York. "I'm looking forward to developing similar programs with universities in other countries."
Students are enrolled at Vidyalankar in a pre-approved series of courses which parallel Penn State's information sciences and technology curriculum. Satisfactory completion of this program enables students to apply, transfer to, and enroll at Penn State York for the completion of their bachelor of science degree in IST.
This is not Penn State York's first connection with India. Penn State York students, faculty, and staff traveled to India in May 2006. The India trip was an outgrowth of an information sciences and technology course (IST 440W) taught by Samir Shah, instructor in information sciences and technology at Penn State York. This collaborative class project was conducted between Penn State York students and The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, India, (M.S. University) students. The project was sponsored by Unisys - a worldwide information technology consulting services and solutions company and although the students were 9,000 miles apart, both universities completed real world projects for the company. In addition to the classroom work, students enjoyed many cultural experiences and became more familiar with customs and life in India.
Shah was recently appointed director of the Penn State India Initiative by John Romano, Penn State's vice president of commonwealth campuses. An expansion of this initial agreement is the establishment of a multi-campus, multi-cultural India initiative, which now includes Penn State Commonwealth Campuses: Schuylkill, Berks, Greater Allegheny, Lehigh Valley, Wilkes-Barre, Worthington Scranton, Hazleton, as well as York. Plans are under way to include more Indian universities in the initiative and to bring students from other Indian universities and colleges to study at the other partner campuses in the initiative within the next two years.
An additional 10 Vidyalankar students are expected to participate in the program next year in York, Shah said. Shah is also working on arrangements that would allow Penn State IST students to study at colleges and universities in India as well as to provide opportunities for faculty exchange.
Shantanu Rajadhyaksha, one of the students at York, said he is adjusting well to life here and to courses at Penn State.
"The program in India is definitely more rigid than the one at Penn State," he said. "Here, we have the opportunity to take courses outside of IST. That's something we couldn't have done there because the courses are already planned out when you enroll in the program … there's no such thing as making your own schedule."
As an arts lover, Rajadhyaksha said he particularly enjoys the music and theater courses he is taking this semester. He plans to finish his IST degree at Penn State and hopes to pursue a master of business administration.
"Everyone here has been very friendly and is always ready to help," said Krupali Desai, one of two female students in the group from India. A vegetarian, one of Desai's biggest adjustments to the area has been replacing the Indian food which she misses. Subway's "veggie delite" has become a staple in her diet.
Desai's favorite class is cognitive psychology. "I enjoy experimenting on other students for our projects and I also like being the subject for in-class experiments," she said.
In addition to her studies, Desai has become a member of the Student Activity Fee Committee on campus. "It is an honor to be a part of the committee. I feel like I am a treasurer and everyone has to ask my consent for getting money," she said with a laugh. "The committee is quite fair having members from all aspects of the campus. I am enjoying meeting new people and I like being involved."
In addition to Rajadhyaksha and Desai, other students in the program are Rohan Chitalia, Kashmeera Kundargi, Kiran Mody, Akshaya Naik, Akhil Rane, Ashish Rane, Sayur Shah, and Bhaskar Suryakumar.
