IN THE WAKE OF news that the school district's financial woes have deepened, Mayor Nutter on Tuesday renewed his call for City Council to approve his budget plan, which would change the way the city calculates property taxes and provide $90 million more to the schools.
"Last year, we as a city provided additional funding. Support for our schools is no less important this year," Nutter said after the school district announced a $218 million deficit in the coming fiscal year, which would grow if Nutter's budget doesn't get the Council's OK.

Hi Everyone, This is not my trip report. This is a friend's trip report.
I wake up bright and early on May 30, 2002. After eating some AirTran pretzels, LOL, my mom flew in the night before from BOS where I saw the plane I would take to MEM which was terminated overnight, we headed for GPT once again.
At GPT, I was already checked in using NWA.com Check-In. All I had to check was my suitcase. I went up to screening, already excited about going on more DC-9's, said bye to my mom, and proceeded through to await boarding at Gate 1A. This is whats so exciting about flying on Airlines. Boarding commenced shortly, and I walked the jetway once again.
Northwest Airlines Flight 472
Service to Memphis, TN (MEM)
I boarded the DC-9 and took Seat 5A, bulkhead row. I was tired and excited. Today I would see the Northwest World Gateway. The jetway was disconnected and we were pushing back. We taxied to runway 14 (14/32) and were airborne south over the beaches. We make a quick turn back towards Gulfport and headed north to Memphis. I had a cup of Apple Juice and a double pack of Biscoff Cookies. The flight route took us over Hattiesburg, Jackson, then over to Tunica, and into Memphis. We arrived at Gate B23 ontime. In MEM, I ran over to the "A" concourse and got a cinnabon. I then ran to B40 for boarding to DTW. This was exciting.
Northwest Airlines Flight 286
Service to Detroit, MI (DTW)
The same flight crew from GPT were also joining me on this flight! So the F/A said "Welcome Back" as I trampled into the plane. I took my seat, 9F. I consumed my Cinnabon and we taxied away for DTW. Once aloft, I got a can of Pepsi and Biscoff cookies. Our route took us over Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and into Michigan. There is no difference in the DC-9-50's interior.
We taxied for eternity, and finally reached the glorious new World Gateway. It was beautiful! The cool terminal air blew into the jetway as I deplaned. I emerged into what is the most beautiful terminal structure I have ever seen. The clocks stood on their own magnificent poles, and the tram rode quietly overhead. The hushed atmosphere was relaxing. Oh, what a relief from Davey!!!!!!! I was finally here, the NW hub! I dreamed of this place. I connected via the train to A64. I was the last to board, so I got searched.
Northwest Airlines Flight 1577
Service to Green Bay, WI (GRB)
Well this was it! Last flight of my traveling day. I boarded and took my seat in the very back, a pleasant engine seat on the F row (window). We taxied away past the old Davey Terminal where I laughed and laughed. We took off and headed over Lansing, Ludington, Lake Michigan, and into Green Bay. I got a can of Pepsi on this flight, with Spinzels (Little bradied pretzel sticks). We landed and had to wait, because the runway was being worked on. We soon taxied to B7. I took some interior pictures of the plane, including the Cabin, and Crew, and then deplaned.
I wake up early again on June 6, 2002. I am truly excited about today, which would include a SAAB-340 (First time on one!) and a DC-10 (Last time I flew on one, it was with horrible AA in 88), then of course, the DC-9 to GPT, which turned out to be more than a typical departure. I got to GRB, checked my bag (I used NWA.com checkin again) and said bye to my sister and kids. Before heading to Security, I took my sisters kids to a downstairs 1950's era Gate. They could see a DC-9 at B5. I went through security, and awaited boarding at B8. Our SAAB was not here yet. I chatted it up with a "Ramp Rat" or Ramp Agent about 727's and 747's. The SAAB arrived from MSP, everyone deplaned, we boarded, and in tradition of flying on planes without jetways, I waved from the top of the stairs, getting a photo taken by the same ramp agent, he handed me the camera and said "Good Luck, and have a safe trip home".
Mesaba Airlines Flight 3094
Service to Twin Cities, (MSP)
I stepped into the Cabin and took Seat 2D. What? No window at all! I moved to 8A an exit seat. Much better. We quickly departed and took off. The SAAB rocks. It has an awesome takeoff, with the engines roaring like h***. The plane vibrates like a tin can, and then we shoot forward and into the air. I love it! The flight is quiet, and smooth. Cassey, our sweet F/A passed out Spinzels (2 packs) and I got a 7Up. The flight was enjoyable, and really cool when we descended. Flying into MSP, we dropped like rocks over the city itself. We made quick turns this way and that. I was having the time of my life. We landed in MSP ontime, and taxied to a new gate with jetways! The F/A didn't know whether we would use the Farm or a Jetway, but it was a jetway on B Concourse. I took a crew pic, and got off. The new MSP commuter terminal is nice, a heck of alot better than ASA in ATL, or Comair in CVG. I went to a cool tunnel with light displays, and got to another new commuter concourse, A. We had to take a bus to C Concourse, because the tram was not completed. In C, I went to F10 for boarding to MEM, which was the DC-10.
Northwest Airlines Flight 454
Service to Memphis, TN (MEM)
I boarded this beast and it was cool! The cabin was spacious. I took seat 34-E. We had more than 5 F/A's. We sat at the Gate forever, and finally departed. It takes forever to load a DC-10. Our beast of a plane quirked and groaned as we taxied. We took off, using almost every inch of the runway. Inflight, our F/A's worked like crazy to serve us! Unlike Delta with Fastbreak, we got a full beverage service which is standard on NW. I had a can of Apple Juice and Spinzels. I walked around our plane, taking photos and complimenting our hard working crew, and complimenting the plane. It was like an old reunion. Before long, we descended into Memphis, landing ontime, using almost 75% of the runway. We arrived at Gate B38 next to a KLM MD-11. Memphis was fun, I took photos of the Airlink Gates and NW Gates, and headed to B14 for a departure to GPT.
Northwest Airlines Flight 1853
Service to Gulfport, MS (GPT)
I was not ready to come home, I HATE Mississippi. But I got my wish! Onboard, they told us we were delayed because of a wheel problem, (Aw Shucks) and made us taxi back to B14. Whooopie! I wished for a night in Elvis Land. I walked around MEM some more, and Ken, the guy I met working B3, said "Colin, did you miss your flight?". I said no, but it was delayed. I went over to C Concourse to chat with Mesaba employees. The agent told me it would be best to remain around B14. I started back, and on the moving walkways, and then the agent comes screaming "DROP EVERYTHING, AND RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN, I'LL GET YOUR BAGS". I sprinted across the empty NW hub and almost ran over the agent at B14. I got my bags from the nice Airlink agent, and boarded. Talk about nice service with Northwest! We taxied out, and took off for GPT Inflight, I had a Ginger Ale and Spinzels. We arrived in GPT on runway 14 (14/32) and taxied into 1A. I walked off the plane and looked at it one last time, the end of a great trip.
Northwest was great, I will continue flying them.

Procedure, Substance, and Erie
Jay Tidmarsh
Notre Dame Law School
November 12, 2010
Vanderbilt Law Review, Vol. 64, p. 877, 2011
Notre Dame Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 11-36
This Article examines the relationship between procedure and substance, and the way in which that relationship affects Erie questions. It first suggests that "procedure" should be understood in terms of process - in other words, in terms of the way that it changes the substance of the law and the value of legal claims. It then argues that the traditional view that the definitions of "procedure" and "substance change with the context - a pillar on which present Erie analysis is based - is wrong. Finally, it suggests a single process-based principle that reconciles all of the Supreme Court's "procedural Erie" cases: that federal courts can apply their own rules to process a claim as long as, in a costless and outcome-neutral world, those rules do not affect the ex ante value of a claim at the time of its filing.

—To determine whether situations involving multiple options can paradoxically influence people to choose an option that would have been declined if fewer options were available.
—Mailed survey containing medical scenarios formulated in one of two versions.
—Two groups of physicians: members of the Ontario College of Family Physicians (response rate=77%; n=287) and neurologists and neurosurgeons affiliated with the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (response rate=84%; n=352). One group of legislators belonging to the Ontario Provincial Parliament (response rate=32%; n=41).
—The basic version of each scenario presented a choice between two options. The expanded version presented three options: the original two plus a third. The two versions otherwise contained identical information and were randomly assigned.
Outcome Measures.
—Participants' treatment recommendations.
—In one scenario involving a patient with osteoarthritis, family physicians were less likely to prescribe a medication when deciding between two medications than when deciding about only one medication (53% vs 72%; P<.005). Apparently, the difficulty in deciding between the two medications led some physicians to recommend not starting either. Similar discrepancies were found in decisions made by neurologists and neurosurgeons concerning carotid artery surgery and by legislators concerning hospital closures.
—The introduction of additional options can increase decision difficulty and, hence, the tendency to choose a distinctive option or maintain the status quo. Awareness of this cognitive bias may lead to improved decision making in complex medical situations.(JAMA. 1995;273:302-305)

Lil' Kim has a skeleton in her closet. The provocative rapper known I for her renegade, logo-laden fashion sense admits that two years ago she picked up a pair of jeans at Kmart. "They were really cute," she says. "My style hasn't changed. My taste just gets more and more expensive."
Her shopping sprees are positively P-Diddian, in fact. "Shopping really is her luxury," says designer Kimora Lee Simmons, a pal. Kim's closet has expanded to fit over 100 furs, including her prized full-length, hooded chinchilla coat. (She wore it with a matching bikini in her "Came Back for You" video because, she says, "I wanted to look like a poodle.") Then there's the bling bling, including a $60,000 diamond-encrusted bee pendant and chain. Says Kim, 28, who is creating her own clothing line when she's not promoting her new hit album La Bella Mafia: "If I feel sexy in it, I wear it."
Of course "it" is often not much—like her revealing pantsuit (designed by stylist Misa Hylton-Brim) at the '99 MTV Video Music Awards, which inspired Diana Ross to touch Kim's pasty-covered breast. "She told me she loved it," says Kim, who comes up with ideas for her custom-made outfits by watching fashion shows and looking through magazines. "It was just funny." As for her critics, she says, "I don't talk to those people. I laugh."
Growing up in Brooklyn, the 4'11" Kim was retail-trained by her mother, Ruby Mae Jones, 56, a former department-store clerk who is divorced from Kim's father, Linwood, 62, a bus driver. "My mom was very into fashion," says Kim. Though nowadays, "sometimes my mom will be like, 'Girl, what the hell do you have on?' " Mom, at least, can rest assured about Kim's undergarments. "I like to buy lingerie because it makes you feel sexy," she says, laughing. "Unless I am sick or my doctor comes to visit—then I have on those big, huge bloomer panties."

Across the bridge,
I bring flowers, and sit on the ground with them
They talk to me without speaking – no judgment, nothing wanting.
I listen, and hear the past, and remember how it was when they were here, and how they helped me just by being here;
I would watch TV with them, and they would argue over who was in what show: "Was that Eddie Albert or Van Johnson?"
They would ask me,"No big plans?"
It was enough.
I sat like that then, and I sit like this now – no big plans, and it is enough.
Good visit, M and D.

Soccer Falls At Central Michigan, 1-0
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - The Ball State soccer team suffered a hard fought 1-0 loss to defending Mid-American Conference Tournament champion Central Michigan Sunday afternoon at the CMU Soccer Complex.
Despite the loss, the Cardinals clinched their ninth berth all-time into the MAC Tournament and their first since 2008 after losses by Akron and Eastern Michigan. Ball State currently sits in sixth place in the MAC with 14 total points with a 4-4-2 league record with just one regular season game remaining on the schedule.
Central Michigan (13-2-3, 7-1-2 MAC) controlled play in the first half with a 9-2 edge in shots. Junior goalkeeper Aubrey Buehler (Waukesha, Wis./UT Martin) posted four saves in the first half to keep the game scoreless.
The Cardinals' best scoring chance came in the 40th minute off of a corner kick. Junior Amanda Dreyfus (Grove City, Ohio/Grove City) sent the ball into the box where junior defender Brigit Reder (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) was able to find her way on the end of the cross. Reder's header was aimed for the corner of the goal, but CMU goalkeeper Grace Labrecque was able to make the save to keep the game scoreless.
Central Michigan, which ran its home unbeaten streak to 33 straight, got the game's lone goal in the 74th minute as it took advantage of a set piece. Claire Horton scored her first goal of the season after Liesel Toth flicked the ball on to her from the free kick.
The Cardinals were out-shot for just the third time in MAC play as CMU held a 15-2 edge, including all six shots in the second half. Buehler posted five saves in the loss for the Cardinals who fall to 9-7-3 overall on the year.
Ball State closes out the regular season Thursday afternoon as it travels to MAC leader Toledo. The first round of the MAC Tournament is set for next Sunday with the top four seeds hosting first round contests.

MUSKEGON — Muskegon city commissioners have unanimously approved a $775,000 mediated settlement with the estate of a suspect who died in police custody after being pepper sprayed.
The settlement is between the city's pooled insurance carrier, Michigan Municipal Risk Management, and the plaintiff of a civil rights lawsuit brought last September in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids against the city and seven of its police officers, according to court records.
Jimmie Lee Jamerson is the successor and personal representative of the estate of William P. Griffin. The 47-year-old Griffin, of Muskegon Heights, died in police custody Oct. 1, 2007, after being arrested for resisting officers and eventually being found with three outstanding warrants.
In arresting Griffin, Muskegon police officers used pepper spray to subdue him, according to court documents. He complained of having trouble breathing — a common complaint from those hit by pepper spray, police say — and died in the Muskegon Police Department parking lot while being taken to the Muskegon County Jail, the lawsuit indicates.
Besides the city, the officers named as defendants were Michelle Gebben, Trevor Gerlach, Jeremy Velik, Mike Haug, Tim Thompson, Kate Strauss and Casey Bringedahl. Of those officers, only Gebben is no longer employed by the city, according to city officials.
Muskegon City Manager Bryon Mazade and Public Safety Director Tony Kleibecker declined to comment on the settlement. After the investigation of the incident, Kleibecker said there was no misconduct by the city's officers.
City officials said the settlement has no immediate effect on the city's budget but it is unknown what effect such a settlement might have on city insurance costs in the future.
The Chronicle was unsuccessful in getting comments on the settlement from the attorneys for the city's insurance carrier and the individual officers. Grand Rapids attorney Stephen Drew represented Griffin's estate.
"We always felt this was a situation (that) with proper procedures he would have lived," Drew said of Griffin. "The family just wants to put this behind them. They hope this changes how a person is taken into custody and is given medical attention that is needed."
The Sept. 25, 2009, lawsuit against the city and the seven officers alleged six offenses: excessive force, denial of medical attention, failure to adequately train and supervise the police officers, gross negligence, assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The city's and its officers' actions led to Griffin's death, the lawsuit claims. The city and its officers violated Griffin's Fourth Amendment and 14th Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution for unreasonable and excessive force and unequal protection under the law, the plaintiff charges. Griffin was African-American.
"Plaintiff alleges that the defendants acted in a deliberate, grossly negligent and/or reckless manner when they improperly used and maintained (pepper spray) on decedent William Griffin," according to court documents. "This resulted in injury to the decedent including, but not limited to, causing him serious breathing difficulty, which led to his death."
In response to the lawsuit by Griffin's estate, the city's insurance carrier denied the charges.
"Defendants deny any use of excessive force," the city and its insurance carrier responded in a Nov. 18, 2009, answer to the lawsuit.
"These defendants admit that they used reasonable force to restrain and handcuff Mr. Griffin and that this force was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances," the insurance company's defense attorney wrote. "The decedent on several occasions had given the officers false names ... although, he denied having warrants outstanding for his arrest, the truth is that Mr. Griffin had multiple warrants outstanding for his arrest. Further, he had physically resisted and opposed the officers' effort to arrest him and engaged in an escalating physical confrontation with both officers."
An autopsy report on Griffin's death listed the cause as "accident." The Muskegon County medical examiner found the death was due to pepper spray in a combination with Griffin's chronic drug and alcohol abuse. At the time of his death, Griffin's blood contained alcohol and traces of cocaine, among other drugs, the medical examiner found.
At the time of the medical examiner's report on Griffin's death, Kleibecker told The Chronicle that all his officers acted appropriately.
"I don't see any level of misconduct on their part," Kleibecker said in October 2007. "We feel for the family, but I see no misconduct. I see nothing they did wrong. It's just a sad situation."
Besides the actions of the officers on the scene and at the Muskegon police station, the lawsuit by Griffin's estate accused the city of "insufficient supervision, training, placement and/or discipline" of officers.
The lawsuit went on to say: "Defendant city of Muskegon's policy and practice of failing to hire minorities as police officers of the Muskegon Police Department has resulted in desperate impact in the street practices of said officers, in violation of the rights of Griffin and/or other African-Americans."
The city and its insurance carrier had "no response" in its answer to those allegations.
The $775,000 settlement came after all parties attended an Aug. 26 "voluntary facilitated mediation" session, according to court documents.
Griffin's estate will receive $500,976.46 of the final settlement, court records show. The remainder will pay the plaintiff attorney's cost of litigation of $23,535.34 and the attorney's fee of $250,488.20 — one third of the settlement — according to court documents.

So glad your stressors have gone Pebbles, im sure it won't be long till you are a fat burning beast again :)
Chris I will give up on the pork for now, but it tastes sooo good LOL. But its not anything spectacular, so not eating it will not deprive me of anything. Its just weird that I can eat bacon without feeling sick though. I am so happy I can add eggs back in though.
I cook my bone broth in the slow cooker on low for at least 24 hours , sometimes longer.
Jenn that is awesome, you are doing so well :) I too feel skinnier every day LOL, its weird, the scale hasn't moved that much yet, but things still seem to be shifting. Its weird, but good.
I too occasionally miss energy drinks (V, 24g carb in one can, crazy!). Having a small amount of sweet potato occasionally wouldn't put you over. Does it make you want more starch though?
HB if you are losing, then you are probably getting enough, but maybe track for a couple of days just to see?
YAY for another loss Tomi. Yes sorry I realised after I posted I read your post wrong ;) Interesting that your body feels better on just a little carbs over none, thats great you realised. Some days I have 0 and feel fine, but I am learning to listen to my body now, so it seems to tell me if I need some.
UF it could be the BP coffee. I have one every morning, but I am still unsure about it. Although I am losing still. But it is a large amount of fat (1/2 my intake), so can be tricky to get the rest in if you still need to eat more (I eat one other meal).
Following those macros posted, should help :)

Oh I know for sure. I was just trying to come up with an excuse...we Texas folk have to stick together...hahah
Thanks BHWF, I appreciate you coming to my defense. Worst threaad ever? Maybe, but at least nobody flamed me personally, so at least that's a positive. LOL.
I was really more interested in if anyone had seen him play yet this preseason. I've heard so much about everyone else on the team, but nothing at all about Homer. If he's about where he was at the end of last season then probably he'll be with the big club. Just curious if maybe he's experienced any type of decline in his play over the summer. Usually you see articles about everyone on the whole team by now, the lack of a single one about Homer is just plain wierd to me.

LANSING, MI – Wyoming City Attorney Jack Sluiter faced sharp questioning by the Michigan Supreme Court as the city seeks to enforce its ordinance regulating medical marijuana use.
The city is asking the court to overturn the appeals court decision that found the city's zoning ordinance prohibiting marijuana production in nearly all cases ran against the voter-approved medical marijuana act that allowed limited production and use of marijuana.
Sluiter argued before the justices that the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act makes no specific provision saying it overrules local zoning ordinances and therefore, cities can enforce rules that regulate marijuana.
Sluiter argued that what the city of Wyoming was doing did not constitute a ban, but instead was simply enforcing zoning.
"This is not a ban," Sluiter said. "That word gets used over and over again and it is simply not true."
But some justices pointed to language in the act that specifically says that the MMMA preempts all local acts or parts of acts.
"How else can you interpret that?" asked Chief Justice Robert Young. "I don't know how else you make it any clearer."
Justice Mary Beth Kelly proposed that it could be argued that Wyoming's ordinance directly conflicts with the state act.
But Sluiter said the ordinance could have addressed zoning specifically, but failed to do so.
"We have to use magic words?" Young asked referring to Sluiter's contention that zoning was not mentioned in the MMMA.
"Yes, we do," Sluiter said.
Sluiter said that the growth of marijuana could pose issues that affect the health and safety of citizens.
Justices Young and Stephen Markman said the city can still address specific nuisance issues but they asked Sluiter to make his argument about how potential issues justified the city's ordinance.
ACLU attorney Daniel Korobkin said little about whether Wyoming's ordinance conflicted with state law saying the plain language of the act makes it clear that it does, but he argued at length about Wyoming's contention that the city was complying with the federal law which still prohibits any marijuana use.
Korobkin said that the MMMA does not affect the federal government because the feds can still enforce their laws as if the act does not exist. However, on Aug. 29, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memo that it would not generally interfere with state laws regarding marijuana.
Korobkin said it would be ironic if Wyoming's ordinance was upheld due to federal law even though the feds say they won't interfere.
Markman asked if the MMMA doesn't come into conflict with the federal government's intention to reduce marijuana use because the likely result of the state act would be increased use of marijuana.
Kororbkin said the state or city cannot actively encourage acts prohibited by federal law, but the state does not have to enforce federal law.
The court has until July to issue a ruling in the case that began in November of 2010.
Godfrey-Lee School Board member John Ter Beek filed a lawsuit in Kent County Circuit Court challenging the city's marijuana ordinance.
Ter Beek said the city violated the tenants of the Medical Marijuana Act, which was passed by 63 percent of voters statewide and by 59 percent of voters in the city of Wyoming in 2008. His lawsuit was joined by the ACLU.
In 2011, Kent County Circuit Court Judge Dennis Leiber ruled that the federal law against marijuana use trumps the state's medical marijuana act.
But last year, the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed Leiber's ruling and the city appealed to the State Supreme Court.

Leoni Township's new $30 million wastewater treatment plant and the sprawling sewer lines that extend from it are by no means a simple system.
Its problems aren't simple, either.
This month, Liberty Township threatened to seek court action if Leoni did not separate sewer bonds from a checking account that includes funds for Leoni's Department of Public Works.
The downturn in the economy also has stifled growth that officials once expected. The sewer plant, which opened in June, isn't connecting as many new users as anticipated, and that could leave current customers saddled with higher costs.
The accounting dispute is the immediate issue. With all the money rolled into one account, Liberty Township officials say they can't tell how much has been paid and where the money is being spent.
That problem was clear in a financial analysis of the system requested by the Leoni Regional Utility Authority, which represents communities connected to it.
Payments on bonds for one sewer line that serves south Jackson County communities, the analysis said, exceeded the amount of cash collected to pay the debt. The difference was about $700,000, said Leoni Township Clerk Michele Manke.
Leoni leaders say the township is complying with its own rules and state codes in keeping the money in one account, but they are willing to work on counting the bonds separately.
Meanwhile, officials had rosy expectations when they charted out growth in communities the system serves. They must pay off $34 million in bonds on the new plant before 2030.
That growth never materialized. According to early estimates, about 13,590 residential equivalent units — a figure that mixes in homes and businesses — were expected to connect to the Leoni system by 2010. That number was to grow to 16,831 by 2029.
Instead, about 12,180 residential equivalent units are currently billed, and officials now expect that number to rise only to about 13,300 by 2029.
"Grass Lake was getting 80 new homes a year then; now we're lucky to have three or four," said Grass Lake Township Supervisor Jim Stormont, who also chairs the Leoni Regional Utility Authority.
"If things turn around and we start getting growth like we had, the problem will go away, but if it doesn't, we could be short on revenue to make the bonds."
Officials said they are not sure what the financial impact will be, but rates could go up if municipal leaders cannot find new users to fill the gap.
Sewer users are charged $17.45 per month for the service and to help pay off the bond. That amount was already expected to increase to $18.20 in 2017. Those amounts do not include other fees that vary by community.
One bright spot is that construction of the new sewer plant came in under budget by at least $1 million. That lowers the amount that must be paid on the bond and provides some cushion to make up for the lack of development, said Napoleon Township Clerk Dan Wymer.
Community leaders also hope they can find new customers who have septic systems to connect to the plant.
"It's by no means a hopeless situation," said Wymer, who conducted the financial analysis of the system. "It's just a very complex situation that got away from people and now we're trying to get it under control."
Manke acknowledged some issues must be resolved. She and other members of the utility authority hope the system's new manager, John Zang, can help.
Zang, who started last week and will make about $52,000 annually, is charged with helping to get the new plant up and running smoothly — and with sorting out the system's tangled finances.
"The township wants to make improvements in the way they do things, and I'm confident I can help them solve a lot of their problems," Zang said. "This is an important business, and we're going to run it like that."

Oh look, double post. It's not really a huge deal on this forum....
Ghirahim moveset
B Move: Dagger Shot- Ghirahim starts levitating a dagger in front of him. Tapping B will cause him to throw just one (the dagger moves horizontally and is not affected by gravity). But holding down B causes him to gather more daggers, stacking them on top of each other. There can be up to six daggers, and the more there are, the greater vertical area they can hit. One dagger does not do very much damage, but if a lot of them hit something it will really hurt them. Ghirahim can levitate the daggers as long as he wants; this can be useful because they can protect him from projectiles. They do vanish on contact, tho.
Side B: Barrier Slasher- Ghirahim moves forward very quickly at fast speed. It's very similar to Ike's side B, only, when this attack hits, Ghirahim will attempt to slash his target many times very quickly. It also breaks any shield on the first hit, hence the name.
It also has no charge time, unlike Ike's. But it can cause Ghirahim to go flying off the edge of a stage. Thankfully, pressing B will stop it immediately.
Down B: Diamond Tornado- Ghirahim raises his palm into the air. After a brief moment, a black tornado about his height will erupt from it. It is black with diamond sparkles. Anyone above Ghirahim that is caught in this attack will be stuck in falling mode (the mode most characters go into after using their Up B, aka helpless). Taking your finger off B will quickly cause Ghirahim to cease using the attack so he can attack the helpless victim.
Up B: Demon Jump- Ghirahim leaps into the air. The height is about the same as Dedede's Up B. Tapping B at any time during this will cause him to teleport in a burst of diamonds. Moving the control stick will decide where he reappears; he reappears after about 2 seconds. Immediately after reappearing he dives downward with his sword pointing where he is moving. He slashes through any characters in his way. Since you have little horizontal control during this decent, you can cancel the attack with B, putting Ghirahim is helpless mode but allowing him to maneuver better.
Just a note: not using the teleport will result in him not being put in helpless mode. The teleport distance is also about the same as Meta Knights.
Final Smash:
Warning: Skyward Sword Spoilers!
Spoiler Alert!
The Imprisoned: Ghirahim does a weird dance, and summons the Imprisoned from the ground in the center of the stage. The Imprisoned stomps around and can even levitate. It is completely immune to all attacks, and touching it will deal damage to anyone that's not Ghirahim. One of Ghirahim's taunts is a weird dance; using it will cause the Imprisoned to go to his current location. The Imprisoned disappears after about the same time as the Landmaster.

On Friday November 9th, two traditional powers will meet on the hardwood on the USS Yorktown. The Ohio State Buckeyes reached the Final Four last season after finishing in a three-way tie atop the Big Ten regular season standings. Marquette advanced to the Sweet Sixteen and finished second in the 16-team Big East Conference.
Both teams have lost arguably their two top players from 2011-12, with Ohio State losing Jared Sullinger and William Buford, while Marquette's Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom departed. Nonetheless, both teams have high expectations for 2012-13. Ohio State is a top five team depending on the poll you look at, while Marquette is a fringe top 25 team.
The following article previews each team's starting lineups, so that we can better look at who has the advantage in each matchup. Either way, it should be an entertaining contest, not only because of the uniqueness of playing on an aircraft carrier, but also because it should be a close game throughout.

Sebastian Bach
It seems like every time Sebastian Bach releases new music, the first thought that comes to my mind is "this dude comes off like a douchebag ALOT in interviews, but he just kicks ass musically." Amazing how that comes back around. Baz is back, and he's been saying some interesting things in recent interviews. Yet, just ignoring that silliness and digging into his latest, GIVE 'EM HELL, he hits the proverbial musical home run. Easily the best release of his solo career and only topped in my eyes by SLAVE TO THE GRIND from his era of Skid Row, GIVE 'EM HELL is a blistering yet surprisingly melodic hard rock/heavy metal release. Not that I'm surprised since I pretty much loved ANGEL DOWN and KICKING AND SCREAMING, but this is still about five steps beyond those releases. Fans of Bach are sure to be VERY well entertained.
What's most surprising about GIVE 'EM HELL is the songwriting strength. Not that Baz has ever been a great songwriter, but he's always found a way to create catchy, memorable songs since leaving Skid Row. I read all the nonsense that he wasn't a writer and couldn't write for years, and yet songs like "By Your Side" from ANGEL DOWN are as good as anything that Skid Row came up with when it comes to ballads. While there's not in the way of softer ballads on GIVE 'EM HELL, "Push Away" has a dark edge to it that's powered by Bach's crazy range as a vocalist.
For the most part though, GIVE 'EM HELL just rocks...hard. First single "Temptation" is just an ass kicking rocker in the vein of "Mudkicker" from the Skid Row years, but with a bit more melody and a lot more of an addictive guitar line in the song. Other songs, like the disc's best track "Taking Back Tomorrow", just sizzle with white heat. This one has a touch more of a modern radio metal feel to it, but it slams just the same. Bach's voice has degraded a touch since the glory days, but he still sounds damn good; especially when compared to so many of his contemporaries from the same era. Hearing him bring the goods on songs like "Disengaged" or the nasty "Dominator", you can't help but know that Sebastian Bach is about as good at making hard rock as he ever has been. Certainly, he's the best he's ever been as a solo artist.
PITRIFF RATING - 97/100 - I know I didn't mention it, but Bach has a world class band on this release as well. Duff McKagan, Bobby Jarzombek, Steve Stevens, John 5 and Devin Bronson all lend their considerable talents to this release, which only makes the sound that much better. For GIVE 'EM HELL though, it's really all about Bach, and he delivers the best of his solo career. A must have for any fan of Bach, Skid Row's past, or the 80s hard rock and hair metal scene.

For the third year in a row, Hain Celestial Group has been named to "Fortune's" 100 Fastest-Growing Companies in America list for 2015. "Fortune" cited Hain Celestial as a "Packaged-food company—brands include Almond Dream, Terra, and Celestial Seasonings—keeps riding the trend toward products with a 'natural' aura." In conjunction with this year's list, Irwin D. Simon, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, was recently interviewed by Leigh Gallagher, Assistant Managing Editor and Host of Fortune Live, available at Fortune.com.
"Fortune's" methodology includes companies that have posted an annualized growth in revenue and earnings per share of at least 15 percent annually over the three years ended on or before April 30, 2015. Companies that meet these criteria are ranked by revenue growth rate; EPS growth rate; and three-year annualized total return for the period ended June 30, 2015. Hain Celestial's three-year annual growth rate for EPS was 23 percent and revenue was 26 percent, with a total return of 34 percent.
"Once again Hain Celestial's growth has merited ranking as one of "Fortune's" 100 Fastest Growing Companies, now for the third year in a row. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the Company and well-deserved recognition as a "Fortune" 1000 company," said Irwin D. Simon, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hain Celestial. "I am grateful to have the opportunity to share this with our supportive employees and shareholders."

Weapons are swapped by scrolling the mouse wheel. Ammo is replenished from crates found throughout the city.
On foot, APB feels very much like Grand Theft Auto - that is, like GTA, APB is a third-person shooting game set in a contemporary fictional city. Mouse control makes aiming a breeze, but headshots are difficult. In classic online shooter fashion, most players strafe left and right as they try to keep their targeting reticule aimed, hopefully, at enemy heads. When you do die - and you will, often - you respawn nearby. I spend a lot of time sprinting back to the action. But then, I am an APB virgin.
The Financial District is a twisting, turning, vertical jungle of towering concrete and advertisements. Driving will only get you so far - but it does so quickly. More often than not you'll get as close as possible to your objective marker, then get out and sprint the rest of the way. The F button is used to vault fences, smash open doors, climb up ladders to rooftops and activate all the context sensitive actions in the game, such as pouring petrol on cars. Much of my time is spent climbing and running about, trying to find sneaky routes back to areas I know Enforcers have assaulted. Remember, these are real people you're shooting at. And real people shoot back good and proper.
Occasionally I hear player voices, and they're not from my team mates. That's because APB has what Realtime Worlds calls "locational-based VOIP". If you talk through your headset, nearby players will hear your voice whether they're in your team or not. So, when you scream a profanity after getting killed, be aware that you're doing so in a public space.
In another mission, we're charged with stealing four suitcases full of cash from four separate locations and returning them to a safe point. As in the burning cars mission, we drive toward the objectives in a stolen car. This time, though, I drive. APB's cars seem hard to control at first. The drift-oriented driving model is grounded in reality, but it's clearly been designed to lend the game a dramatic, action feel. It's pretty much essential to use the space bar to handbrake around corners, for example. But you soon get used to it. Driving never gets easy - it always requires careful attention, particularly as a Criminal who's trying to escape pursuing Enforcers - but it's not frustrating. The potential is clear: bumper to bumper car chases and lots of shooting.
Soon enough, an APB is sent out, and a group of Enforcers is hot on our tail. With the suitcases stolen, the mission progresses to a second stage: to defend an area for three minutes. We drive towards the objective and hole up behind cover up on higher ground, waiting for the Enforcers to arrive. When they do, all hell breaks loose. There is a lot of shooting, a lot of dying, a lot of respawning, and more dying. Somewhat inevitably, we fail the mission. The Enforcers have won, and are rewarded with loads of cash. Bah.
You'll be able to sell items you've created on APB's auction house for Realtime Worlds Points, which can in turn be used to buy game time.
What's great about APB, and indeed what sets it apart from most MMOs, is that progression is entirely skill based. Let's be honest, if you put loads of time into most MMOs you'll end up with a powerful character. If you go up against another player who's of a lower level than you, 99 per cent of the time you'll kick his arse, even if you're using your nose to press the hotkeys. In APB, however, your chance to shoot someone in the face is determined by your skill with a mouse, not a dice roll. Really, if you're good at shooters, you'll probably be good at APB. Even though I'd only played the game for half an hour, I felt I had a chance against the schooled beta testing Enforcers. I felt I had a chance not because my gun did 330 more points of damage than my opponent's, but because I know how to headshot.
What this means is that APB is not just another MMO. It's not trying to dethrone World of Warcraft. It's not got orks or elves or flaming swords. It's not, even, a GTA MMO. APB is a massively multiplayer online game of cops and robbers that busts a gut to strip away all the boring stuff you normally find in MMOs. This is why APB has a chance of being something special, and this is why you should care.
APB: All Points Bulletin is scheduled for release on July 2 for PC.

This is really cool! Francine Toukou does this in her books and web site. She made it in steel colored yarn. It looks like stainless steel and is called the steel beanie. The she did a hat like this also called the aviator hat. You did great!
Thank you. I will have to check hers out.
Pattern please please?
I will give you a youtube video of the basic hat with earflaps which is all I did here and then added and extra flap on the front using your personal judgement on how big you want it and fastened it up with some buttons.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IaN5_gBQZw&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL1BB8FE6E96A1A22D . basically all i did for the flap was attached the yarn right infront of the right earflap and continued across to the other side, chained 3 ( i used a ds for the hat) turned my work and went back and forth a few times until i though it looked good. made sure the sides where even and attached some little buttons.

Norah Jones: Grammy winner to sing Ted song at 2013 Oscar ceremony
Norah Jones, the Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, will perform Walter Murphy and Seth MacFarlane's "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from the movie Ted at the Oscar 2013 ceremony, telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced yesterday. That will mark Norah Jones' first time performing on an Oscar show. (Image: Norah Jones.)
Norah Jones' music and movie career
Norah Jones' breakthrough hit was her 2002 album "Come Away with Me," which sold more than 10 million copies and earned Jones no less than five Grammy Awards. Jones' subsequent solo albums include "Feels Like Home" (2004), "Not Too Late" (2007), "The Fall" (2009), and "Little Broken Hearts," which came out last year. She also took part in two albums with her country collective, The Little Willies, while in the 2010 compilation "…Featuring Norah Jones" she's heard singing alongside the likes of Herbie Hancock, Willie Nelson, Outkast, and Foo Fighters.
Additionally, Norah Jones' songs have been featured on the soundtrack of numerous movie and television shows, ranging from Maid in Manhattan, Two Weeks Notice, and Love Actually to Dawson's Creek, Sesame Street, and French and Saunders. Jones herself made her feature-film acting debut in Wong Kar Wai's international effort My Blueberry Nights (2007), which features an extensive cast that includes Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, and David Strathairn. Since then, she has acted in only one other feature, Ben Chace and Sam Fleischner's Wah Do Dem (2009), in which she has a supporting role.
Directed by Seth MacFarlane, and written by MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin, and Wellesley Wild, Ted stars Mark Wahlberg as a man whose best friend is a talking Teddy bear. Mila Kunis co-stars in the worldwide box office hit.
The 2013 Oscar ceremony will be held on Sunday, Feb. 24, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, located in (in one of) the heart(s) of Hollywood. "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" lyricist and Oscar nominee Seth MacFarlane will host the Oscar show.

Targeting Iowa Judges To Send A Message To the Supreme Court
Following in the wake of Judge Vaughan Walker's ruling in the Prop 8 case, Chuck Colson declared that the Religious Right must prevent the Supreme Court from ever ruling in favor of gay marriage by building a groundswell of opposition in order to convince the Court that any ruling recognizing the right to marriage equality will not be accepted by the people.
Today, the National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brown was on "Wallbuilders Live" with David Barton and Rick Green and explained that the effort to unseat three judges in Iowa was part of an effort to send just that sort of signal to the Supreme Court:
Barton: I guarantee you, if these judges can be thrown off in Iowa, you watch as state after state after state as people start going and saying "time for accountability, time to get our government back." I'm loving it, it's going to be fun.
Green: It's great, this is really opening the flood gate in a very positive way.
Brown: Many people that have commented on what we're going through right now, especially with the Proposition 8 case in California, are looking at the Iowa judicial retention election - and even though there are many important elections about the country - they're actually saying this is the most important election because it will send a clear signal to the Supreme Court and other judges that they don't have the right to make up the law out of thin air. Their job is to interpret the law, it is not to be out robed masters and judicial activists imposing their will on the rest of us.
And so if the people of Iowa do what I think they'll do and stand up and remove these judges, there will be reverberations throughout the country all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
And just in case you were operating under the delusion that the Religious Right would actually accept any Supreme Court in favor of marriage equality, rest assured that they most certainly will not:
Brown: Ultimately if this Perry vs Schwarzenegger case out of California goes to the Supreme Court - and I'm confident that we will win at the Supreme Court - but if we were to lose and if the Supreme Court was to force same-sex marriage on, for example, Texas or Alabama or states that have voted by something like seventy-five percent to support marriage as a union of a man and woman and you have the US Supreme Court throwing out the vote of these states, I think you're going to have a strong movement for a federal marriage amendment. And that would also be a very clear sign to the courts that they are bound by the law and they don't have the right to simply put into law their own personal preferences.
You also have under Article III in the Constitution the idea that Congress could limit the appellate jurisdiction of some of these federal courts, so that's another way in which, that's already in our law, that Congress could limit the ability of the federal courts to force same-sex marriage on the rest of the country, or any other issue on which the court's overstepping its bounds.

Cupid's Chokehold
|"Cupid's Chokehold"
|Single by Gym Class Heroes featuring Patrick Stump
|from the album The Papercut Chronicles and As Cruel as School Children
|March 2005 (See release history)
|September–October 2004
|Platinum (RIAA)
|Gym Class Heroes singles chronology
"Cupid's Chokehold" is a single performed by Gym Class Heroes, featuring Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. The song relies heavily on the music and chorus from Supertramp's hit song "Breakfast in America" written by Roger Hodgson. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 radio chart, #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and #3 on the Canadian Hot 100. It was first released in 2005 on The Papercut Chronicles, and re-recorded for their album As Cruel as School Children (which was re-released on November 4, 2006 with "Cupid's Chokehold" as an additional track). There are two music videos for this song, one for each version. The second version includes female backing vocals which are not included in version one. The second version of the video does contain the backing vocals of the first video. However, the female voice is integrated into the chorus behind Patrick Stump's vocals. The song has been featured on Discover and Download and Total Request Live.
Several versions were produced. The most common one features slow tempo and female backing vocals while the other one has a quicker tempo and Patrick Stump does backing vocals, along with Rand Bellavia (of Ookla the Mok).
The song won an ASCAP award on April 9, 2008 for being one of the most played songs in ASCAPs repertory from the 4th Quarter 2006 through the 4th Quarter 2007.
As of September 2011, the song has sold 1,936,000 digital downloads.[1]
Music videos[edit]
The Papercut Chronicles version[edit]
The first version of the "Cupid's Chokehold" video directed by Andrew Paul Bowser for the album The Papercut Chronicles features MC Travis McCoy working at a toy factory. While working, he stumbles upon a "prototype toy" which turns out to be a life-size doll. The doll acts as McCoy's girlfriend in the video and fulfills his every wish.
However, she eventually becomes tired of being exploited and expresses this in a humorous scene where the two are playing Scrabble (she spells out the words 'krush', 'kill', and 'destroy'). The doll then begins to malfunction, and McCoy has no choice but to destroy her. He pushes her off a bridge, and she appears to be dead. At the end of the video, she is awakened by Patrick Stump, who also appears to be a robot. The two fall in love and walk down the road together. Musically, this version has the word Girlfriend repeated constantly in the background not found in other versions of the song exclusive to the video.
As Cruel as School Children version[edit]
The second version of the "Cupid's Chokehold" is the official video directed by Alan Ferguson for the album As Cruel as School Children and is a more literal interpretation of the lyrics of the song. The second version is more widely recognized because music networks such as MTV and VH1 play this version instead of the original, and because the original does not appear on iTunes. The video begins with a dancing Cupid who shoots McCoy with a love arrow as he passes a girl, portrayed by actress, singer Porscha Coleman. Patrick Stump can be seen watching from behind a newspaper as this happens. The two are madly in love at first, but as the video moves forward, the two begin fighting, and their relationship meets its end when McCoy's girlfriend walks in on him and his friends gambling. Cupid tries a second time to get McCoy into a relationship. This time, McCoy's girlfriend is more romantically involved with McCoy, but she becomes increasingly angry when he invites his friends to a party her parents are hosting. The relationship ends when McCoy comes home to find his girlfriend on top of a masked man in a compromising position. He proceeds to beat up the guy. McCoy's final relationship is with one of his fans in the audience at one of the band's performances (played by McCoy's then-girlfriend, Katy Perry). Initially, she went up to him when they were at a bar. This time the relationship works out, and Cupid does not have to shoot McCoy with an arrow even though he is prepared to at first. However, Cupid himself gets shot with an arrow by a female Cupid, and the video closes with the two of them dancing together with McCoy & Perry watching from in front. (Cupid also dances several times before the ending).
In this version of the music video, when McCoy and his friends are interrupting his girlfriend's party, McCoy raps a small part of "Wejusfreestylin Pt. 2" from The Papercut Chronicles.

The effects of peripheral cold exposure on myocardial perfusion and function were studied in 13 patients with scleroderma without clinically evident myocardial disease. Ten patients had at least one transient, cold-induced, myocardial perfusion defect visualized by thallium-201 scintigraphy, and 12 had reversible, cold-induced, segmental left ventricular hypokinesis by two-dimensional echocardiography. The 10 patients with transient perfusion defects all had anatomically corresponding ventricular wall motion abnormalities. No one in either of two control groups (9 normal volunteers and 7 patients with chest pain and normal coronary arteriograms) had cold-induced abnormalities. This study is the first to show the simultaneous occurrence of cold-induced abnormalities in myocardial perfusion and function in patients with scleroderma. The results suggest that cold exposure in such patients may elicit transient reflex coronary vasoconstriction resulting in reversible myocardial ischemia and dysfunction. Chronic recurrent episodes of coronary spasm may lead to focal myocardial fibrosis.

As his country continued to rise up against his leadership Friday, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak asked his Cabinet to resign and promised to name a new government "tomorrow."
Egypt's military enforced a curfew in Cairo as frustrated residents continued fierce street riots against the local government.
Appearing on television for the first time since the protests began, Mubarak expressed no intention of stepping down as president. He also defended the security crackdown on protestors and vowed to press ahead with social, economic and political reforms. Click here to watch Mubarak's comments and video of the protests in Cairo.
Click play to watch earlier coverage of the unrest in Egypt, followed by analysis from CBN News' George Thomas, Gary Lane, and Erick Stakelbeck.
CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell also spoke more about the affect Egypt's protests could have on Israel. Click here for his comments.
Throughout the day, protestors clashed with authorities and set the ruling party headquarters in Cairo ablaze along with police cars.
The government also shut off phones and the Internet early Friday morning in anticipation of a new round of massive protests against the president.
Mubarak said the anti-government protests are part of plot to destabilize Egypt and destroy legitimacy.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appealed to Egyptian authorities to respect the rights of their citizens amid the crackdown.
"We are deeply concerned about the use of violence by Egyptian police and security forces against protestors. We call on the Egyptian government to do everything in its power to restrain security forces," Clinton said. "At the same time, protesters should also refrain from violence and express themselves peacefully."
"We support the universal human rights of the Egyptian people, including freedom of expression, association and of assembly," she added. "We urge the Egyptian authorities to allow peaceful protests and to reverse the unprecedented steps it has taken to cut off communications."
The Internet black out came on the day anti-government demonstrations are expected to be the biggest yet in Egypt.
"I wish we didn't have to go to the street to impress on the regime that they need to change," said Mohamed ElBaradei, Egyptian pro-democracy advocate and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. "We tried signatures. We tried boycotting the elections. Nothing worked."
ElBaradei is now under house arrest after being attacked by police in the protests.
For three decades, Mubarak has held power. He hasn't said if he will run for office again this year and he hasn't been seen or heard from since the protests began Tuesday.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama urged Egypt's government to exercise caution in its attempts to reign in the protests, noting the nation has been an important U.S. ally in the Middle East peace process and in fighting terrorism.
"Egypt's been an ally of ours on a lot of critical issues," Obama said.
"The government has to be careful about not resorting to violence and the people on the streets have to be careful about not resorting to violence," he added

The Department of Geology relies on a variety of tools to periodically assess its undergraduate program.
- Student Evaluations
The standardized USU course evaluation form is provided to all students in all courses taught by Geology faculty to allow the students an opportunity to evaluate both the course and the instructor. Geology faculty commonly lead the College of Science in these university-wide teaching evaluations and the Department was awarded the first USU Department Teaching Excellence Award in 2003.
- Senior Interviews
Towards the end of spring semester, the department hosts a "feed and feedback" reception for graduating students. After a brief social, the group disperses into one or more groups of four to six students and two to three faculty to discuss student perceptions of major courses, skills acquired, interrelationships between courses and concepts, etc. Each faculty team records information without identifying students and submits the report to the department head for compilation. Results are discussed at a faculty meeting and it often results in programmatic changes. This format has been found to be more effective than a brief experiment with "oral" content exams for graduating seniors. We now find that students are more relaxed, feel less threatened and are very responsive.
- Geology Department Questionnaire
Geology faculty have implemented an assessment tool originally devised by the geology faculty at Illinois State University. It consists of a written questionnaire which is given on entry into the program and then again prior to graduation. We have modified this questionnaire to make it more appropriate for our program. It is given first to students entering Geol 3550 Sedimentation and Stratigraphy, generally the first upper-division geology course taken by majors, and then is given again at the conclusion of Geol 5200 Geology Field Camp, our program's capstone experience.
Results of the "before" and "after" versions are then compared to get a sense of "value added" assessment; i.e., skills learned or improved over that transition. Geol 5200 has been taught many times since we implemented this questionnaire, so we now have a sufficient population to make the results statistically valid. The results demonstrate that there is measurable accomplishment in the transition between these two courses.
- College of Science Interviews and Questionnaire
Each year, the Dean of the College of Science interviews a number of majors from each department in the college. In addition, every student applying for graduation in the College of Science is given a questionnaire to complete. These collectively provide information on general student satisfaction with the degree program, courses, faculty and facilities. This information is collected anonymously and then returned to the department in the summer following graduation.
- Alumni Surveys
Periodically, the department solicits information from its alumni regarding current undergraduate degree requirements. The alumni are asked to: 1) comment on the importance of topic areas and courses, 2) indicate which topics or courses have assisted them most in their careers, 3) indicate which courses they wished they would have taken or which we should require, and 4) with respect to using computers in their professional activities, recommend specialized software that we should be using with students today.
- Advisory Board
In April 2003, the department formed an advisory board that meets annually to provide input and advice on the evolution and strategic directions of the department. The advisory board consists of members drawn from a variety of professional backgrounds, including alumni of the department and non-alumni who have an interest in the department's direction.
- Self Study and External Review
The Department of Geology regularly conducts a Regents-mandated department self study and external review. The self study allows the faculty to reassess the program and its direction as well as its goals and objectives. The recommendations made by the external review team are used to modify and improve the program.
- Faculty Program Assessment
Assessment information from these various sources is discussed and reviewed by all faculty and used to "tune up" or modify program objectives, course content and degree requirements. The single most important department activity for reviewing assessment as well as all other aspects of the program is the fall faculty retreat. This two-day meeting, prior to the start of fall semester, provides a period of reflection on the past year; an opportunity to make changes and/or modifications to requirements, policies and procedures; and a forum for planning the coming academic year.

IN THE PAST few years, numerous reports have appeared in the literature concerning the etiology and significance of the hemorrhagic intestinal lesion in Escherichia coli endotoxin shock in dogs.1-3 These reports, as well as previous studies from our laboratory, have stimulated further investigation of this lesion. It has been shown, for example, that treatment with hyperbaric oxygen alone,4 or in combination with low molecular weight dextran,5 prolongs survival in animals subjected to E coli endotoxin. It was observed that in these animals, the prolongation of survival was consistently paralleled by a delay in onset of the classic intestinal lesion (Fig 1). In studies by Alican,6 Lillehei,7,8 and others, using hydrocortisone, phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline), or chlorpromazine, improved survival has been noted, and in these reports, an associated protection of the small intestine occurred. In experiments recently reported, enterectomy was shown to improve survival statistics.9 In these

Resveratrol, Resveratrol Supplements, Antioxidant Vitamins - Life Extension
This is the article from the Life Extension magazine that ironically I just read on my Kindle a couple days ago. A lengthy but highly informative read.
So much so that I bought some today (organic, trans, grape skins only..no knotweed) it was expensive but I'm going to give it a try.
I take a resveratrol supplement drink that tastes pretty good. It is made by Genesis Today and uses a variety of grape products and Japanese knotwood. I'm relatively new to primal eating, and I consider it a way of hedging my bets against high cholesterol just in case sat fat does increase this after all. I figure worst case scenario I lose some money and get no benefits, but it looks like it is completely safe as long you don't have headache problems and I have none. Only drawback of a liquid supplement is it is inevitably pasteurized.
Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, grapes- all organic if possible - even peanuts! contain resveratrol in good amounts. And - according to a food programme which I heard on radio 4 (BBC) Argentinian Malbec has more than any other wine! Followed by Eastern European organic red wines.
So - lunch has berries, evening meals are accompanied with Malbec!
I've heard organic Australian Pinot noir works too. Might have to look into that for pleasure (more fun than capsules, no doubt).
I take it and have noticed it helping with my blood pressure. Can not say it would help with weightloss though. I know I could drink a glass of red wine, but I really don't drink

Who knew Katy Perry and Russell Brand could be so traditional? The couple celebrated their new status – engaged! – with family and friends at Il Cielo in Beverly Hills. About 50 guests, including the singer's mom, Mary Hudson, came out for cocktails and cake at the couple's special bash, which, according to a source, was decorated with candles and red roses."They had a lovely soiree," a source says. For dessert there was a white chocolate cake adorned with fresh roses and a sweet message: "Katy [Heart] Russell."
Rumor patrol: Adam Lambert was spotted chatting up ex Drake LaBry at the Mr. Black party at nightspot Bardot Hollywood, where the Idol runner-up set up shop on the patio and sipped vodka. There was "some heavy flirting going on," an onlooker tells us. But, another source assures us, they're just good friends. "They're not back together," the source says, "but they are still very close. Adam cares for him a lot."
Britney Spears must have been really happy with her new purchase! The singer popped into an American Eagle Outfitters store in San Fernando Valley's Topanga Plaza mall and bought a pair of AE Artist jeans – then wore them out of the store. Spears also picked out some plaid shirts, sunglasses and a light pink bracelet.
Maggie Gyllenhaal treated her 3-year-old daughter Ramona to a cupcake – well, half a cupcake – at M Café Melrose in L.A. The actress asked the cashier to cut the dessert in half, before giving a piece to Ramona to eat on the spot. Gyllenhaal also picked up a chopped salad and some dinner specials to-go. Earlier that day, Glee stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron ordered sushi and deli salads, and even took some photos with two customers before leaving.
Rachel Bilson recently stopped into the Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood for some highlights. The starlet's colorist Denis De Souza tells us she wanted a "beachy look."

"Out of Hitler's Reach: The Scattergood Hostel for European Refugees, 1939-43"
From 1939 to 1943, 185 refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe found safe
haven at Scattergood Hostel, a refugee center run by Quaker farmers and college students in what had been an abandoned Friends boarding school in Iowa. This little-known "Schindler's List on the Prairie"--an amazing story of goodness and light in an era of evil and darkness--has been preserved in the book "Out of Hitler's Reach" and in a Public-Television-produced documentary.
The author of the book (who's featured in the PBS video), Michael Luick-Thrams will be bringing the Scattergood Hostel legacy to audiences in the United States from September 2000 through mid-February 2001. Depending on the needs of sponsoring institutions, the presentations will range in length from 45 minutes to a weekend workshop. The standard venue includes the showing of the PBS video and/or slides of black-and-white photos taken mostly by refugees at the hostel who had been professional photographers in Europe; in some cases surviving refugees and former SH staff will speak at select presentations. More in-depth engagements include relevant printed materials (e.g., articles about SH and biographies of specific refugees or staff) to be used before as well as during and after Michael's visit, plus possible contact with survivors or further reading, panel discussions, fieldtrips, etc.
If you or some institution you know (schools or universities, churches
or meetings or synogogues, historical societies or archives, Holocaust centers, libraries, peace, civic or women's groups, etc.) might be interested in sponsoring this unique presentation, please contact Sally Campbell for more information at the address, phone, or email, listed below, or Monday PM through Wednesday AM at:

Copies are still available, however, from the author.
