There seems to be no limit to the voracious appetite for pork in New Jersey. In recent days, an exhibition of how it's been prepared and served in the past surfaced during the trial of former State Senator Wayne Bryant (D-Camden) reminding us of how adept some legislators are in their efforts to bypass transparent appropriations processes to provide bacon to those they favor.
A legislative aide revealed just how monies in a fund, The Property Tax Assistance and Community Development Grants Program--intended to give tax assistance to towns--was actually allocated. During the McGreevey and Codey administrations, Senate and House Democrats directed millions in taxpayer dollars through "grants" to pet projects, providing no oversight and asking for no accountability. The program was ended by Jon Corzine when he became governor in 2006--in response to a constitutional challenge--but a promised review by the governor has, evidently, not been done.
U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie is conducting his own review as part of his sweeping, ongoing, inquiry into pork, New Jersey style, so what we are hearing in the Bryant trial is not going to be the end of it. Nor should it be.
The more we learn, the more dispiriting it becomes. The slush fund amounted to $100,000,000 for Democratic lawmakers to dispense over the course of two budget years, 2005 and 2006, implicating quite a few folks, who might otherwise be counted to be on the side of "transparency." First up, Senator Richard Codey (D-Essex) who, for example, had exclusive control over $12 million in 2005. That's what State Treasurer David Rousseau testified to on Tuesday. And, he said that Wayne Bryant and Bernard Kenny, Jr.(D-Hudson), respectively chair of the appropriations committee and majority leader, each controlled $4,000,000 from the fund. The remaining $20,000,000 was dispensed by Assembly members. Their pet projects were subject to little scrutiny as folks in Treasury believed they had "very little" discretion.
Codey, Kenny and Bryant, according to Rousseau, had free rein in selecting recipients for the shares of the fund they had been allocated. The unedited list of grants was forwarded from Treasury to the Legislature's Joint Budget Oversight Committee, which, at the time, had Bryant and Kenny among the three senators on the joint committee! How's that for democracy in action!
It gets worse. In testimony the following day, James Davy, Human Services commissioner at the time, testified that he needed the chairman of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee to be his ally in order to garner support to improve the state's failing child welfare system and so he agreed to provide $2.3 million--out of the child welfare funds--to support an Institute that Bryant insisted receive funding. And, he also insisted that permission be granted to the Institute to carry over funds from a previous year--$600,000--against departmental rules.
Are we to understand that the interests and needs of children were held hostage for pork? That agency heads were intimidated to secure it? How low can we go?
Pork is noxious no matter how it's served up. Not only because dispensing it can lead to conflicts of interest and to allocating resources that are neither rational, constructive or decided by methods that reflect the public interest but also because they generate activities that force institutions and organizations, small and large, to invest in lobbying and "public relations" activities in order to secure the pork thus diverting funds from strapped budgets for these purposes when they could be more productively spent on what the organizations and institutions need.
And more. The trading that goes on in the legislature leads to carrots and sticks to buy votes for other measures that may also lack majority support for good reason: they fail on the merits!
Need I also mention that these dollars could be spent on genuine needs and public purposes, determined by processes designed to implement the public interest, or, in the rare times of surplus, set aside for the inevitable rainy day? Monies for pet projects come from the same pot that all appropriations come from; to the extent that we reduce that pot for pork, we have less resources to meet public needs. To say otherwise, is pure hogwash.
Pork is wasteful and it makes a mockery of conflict of interest rules, not to mention that it violates the public trust and, in some cases, the state's laws. There is no way to reform this practice; it is malignant at its core.
The political parties are feuding, now, over this particular fund, with Republicans accusing the Democrats of using public money as their own personal ATM machine and Democrats reciting a list of grants for pet projects that Republicans secured during the years they controlled the Statehouse.
Come on. Both parties do it, both parties can find something in common--and generate some public regard--by joining together to end it. Do it now! Trust in government is low enough as it is.

In short "Why is Celebrity tarnishing its image by keeping this bucket of bolts in their fleet?"
We had cabin 1217 on the top level of the ship.
Air conditioning in our cabin didn't work from the moment we got there. Maintenance guy eventually just removed the cover to the fan and told us there wasn't anything else he could do. Took a couple days but it finally started working on day 3. Was not a lot of fun getting ready for formal night in the sweltering hot cabin.
No Hot water in our cabin. This ended up being a blessing since the AC didn't work LOL This was fixed sometime in the evening of the first day.
Noxious fumes were coming from the AC one day. I had a cold and didn't notice but started feeling sick. My wife woke up from her nap and the first thing she said was "It smells like gas fumes in here!" I went out on deck and immediately started feeling better with a little fresh air. SCARY! When I told guest services they sent some people to smell around but were not going to do anything until Joseph the room attendant spoke up and said he had smelt the gas smell all afternoon in other cabins too and one other passenger had also complained about a funny smell coming from the bathroom and the vents. Not sure what they did but when we came back from Dinner it didn't smell anymore.
Broken lights, Broken TV, Broken Toilet, I could go on and on but I think you get the point.
Don't get me wrong overall this was still a good cruise. But this ship needs to be retired. It is old and tired and showing it.
We found out during the cruise that the ship had just come out of drydock the previous week and many of the staff was new to the ship so I am going to cut them a break on the lack of service. But Celebrity is hurting its image by pillaging the experienced service oriented staff for the new Solstice class ships and by continuing to sail Century.
Certainly not what I would call a Celebrity experience this time around.

Digital Library State Network of Educators
The State Network of Educators (SNE) is a team of educators from Smarter Balanced member states trained to contribute and review instructional and professional learning resources for inclusion in the Smarter Balanced Digital Library. Members of the SNE are K–12 and higher education professionals with expertise in the Common Core State Standards, formative assessment tools and practices, and teaching one or more of the following student groups: general education; gifted and talented; English learners; and students with disabilities.
The Smarter Balanced Digital Library
The Digital Library is an online collection of more than 2,700 formative assessment resources that support K–12 teachers in their use of formative assessment processes to adjust teaching and improve student learning. Every resource in the Digital Library addresses at least one of the four attributes of the formative assessment process: clarify intended learning, elicit evidence, interpret evidence, and act on evidence.
The Important Role of the SNE
While the Digital Library includes a number of commissioned modules, the majority of resources in the Digital Library are contributed by SNE members. Members of the SNE create, submit, and review resources for the Digital Library. Every resource submitted by an SNE member goes through extensive review before being posted to the Digital Library. Submissions must pass through an initial screening process for foundational requirements before being moved on for further review. When the initial screening criteria are met, each resource is then reviewed by three different SNE members using quality criteria developed by Smarter Balanced for the vetting process. In addition to their resource development and review activities, members of the SNE provide important insight that helps guide enhancements to the Digital Library.

Less clutter, more convenience at forefront of real estate trends
Remember when small closets were standard and people simply put their offseason wardrobes into storage?
Every year, builders look at the emerging preferences of homebuyers, hoping to stay ahead of changes in the way we live.
These days, clutter equals stress, said Jill Waage, an editorial director for Better Homes and Gardens.
"Storage took on another level of importance when the economy started its downturn and people became more conscious of themselves," Waage said. The sentiment, she said, was: "My stuff is stressing me out."
Among the solutions being added to new and existing homes are built-in storage at entrances such as shelving around the front door, under-stairway offices, storage drawers in shower benches and using the depth in two-sided walls for cabinets and shallow shelves. "There's no more dead space," she said.
Here are five design trends:
1 People are staying in their homes longer.
2 Houses are growing. Five years ago, the average new home had about 2,500 square feet of living space; in 2012 it had more than 2,500.
3 Casual spaces rule. Flex space is popular, and formal rooms are out with the exception of the foyer. The lifestyle triangle -- kitchen, family room and casual dining area -- enables unified living.
4 Buyers want their lives to be easier. The laundry room, for example, is moving closer to the dirty clothes. Recent designs are attaching the laundry room to the master closet.
5 Specialized spaces are growing in popularity. Pet rooms, snore rooms and designs for multigenerational households are on the rise.

Football team falls hard in season opener against Chelan Goats
The long haul over the mountains to Lake Chelan must have played havoc with the Vashon football team's ability to hold on to the ball as Vashon's nine turnovers helped Chelan bury the Pirates, 35-7, last Friday night in the season opener.
"Obviously, we need to do a better job protecting the ball," commented head coach Clay Eastly after the game. After the plethora of fumbles and interceptions, Eastly had one thing to say to his offense: "Hold on to the ball; that's my quote for the week."
Despite the lopsided score, Eastly sees great strength in this year's Pirate squad and believes the team will bounce back quickly to show their true colors. "Just look at the game stats," he emphasized. "Take away those turnovers, and it's clear that we can play with this team (Chelan); we can beat them."
Indeed, the Goats, who advanced to the Division 1-A semifinals in the state championship last year, scored most of their points off of the Pirate turnovers, and discounting those turnovers, their defense never really stopped a Vashon offensive drive.
The Pirates racked up 315 total yards to Chelan's 307, and Vashon notched 17 first downs to the Goats' nine. Adrian Arceo finished the night with 23 carries for 133 yards and one touchdown. He also grabbed six receptions for 55 yards. Nick Fox-Edele grabbed four passes for 51 yards, and Hamzah Griffin notched four receptions for 30 yards. Quarterback Jeff Rauma completed 16 passes for 148 yards.
The Pirates put together a long, sustained drive on their first possession of the game, but a fumble on the Goat 30 yard line, a portent of things to come, was picked up by Chelan and returned for a touchdown. Soon thereafter, Chelan picked off a Pirate pass in Vashon territory and scored again four plays later. Late in the first period, the Pirate offense put together another great drive, which resulted in a touchdown on an eight-yard sweep by Adrian Arceo. Nick Fox-Edele connected on the PAT, and the quarter ended with the Goats up 14-7.
The second quarter opened with Vashon moving the ball from its own 30 to the Chelan 45, but another fumble was recovered by the Goats. Two plays later Chelan found a hole and popped a run right up the middle for a 55-yard touchdown. The PAT was good, and the Goats were up 20-7.
Six plays into Vashon's next possession, the Pirates fumbled again, giving the ball back to Chelan at midfield. The Goats picked up a first down on a fourth and two with an 11-yard run, and three plays later scored on a 10-yard run. The two-point conversion was good, and Chelan was up 28-7 at the half.
The third quarter saw neither team score. The Goats had four possessions, but the Pirate defense held firm and forced Chelan's only turnover of the game, a fumble the Pirates recovered deep in their own territory near the end of the period. For its part, Vashon also had four offensive chances. In the story of the game, however, the Pirates gave the ball away on three of those possessions and were forced to punt on the other.
A Chelan touchdown pass from the Vashon 25 with about five minutes left in the game concluded the scoring.
— Steve Edee is the father of Nick Fox-Edele.

Startup of a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor
Application ID: 1858
The hydrolysis of propylene oxide into propylene glycol is an important chemical process with 400,000 metric tons produced worldwide each year. Propylene glycol finds wide application as a moisturizer in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
In this example, the startup phase of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) used to produce propylene glycol is investigated. The non-isothermal process is described by a set of coupled mass and energy balances that you easily set up and solve.

Corfu's unique polyphony results from the juxtaposition of an imaginative biography of the Australian actor and writer Kester Berwick and the fictitious memoirs of an anonymous narrator who, like Berwick, is an actor hailing from the Australian city of Adelaide. On his way home, the narrator unaccountably winds up in Corfu, where he rents the house of Kester Berwick, for whom Corfu has become home. Paradoxically, although the narrator never meets Berwick, he comes to know him intimately. Initially, the pair hold "a disembodied sort of conversation" (8) on the telephone. Finally, identically attired, similar suitcase in hand, they stand facing one another through glass doors at the ferry terminal, passing when the sliding …

They didn't know one another. Dallas tended her marijuana plants in the rocky soil of Owsley County, the 19th poorest in America. Yusef smoked and sold crack 600 miles away in barren rowhouses on Lindenwood Street.

NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Auburn OLB Dee Ford
|04.18.14 at 9:30 am ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Outside linebacker
School: Auburn
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 252 pounds
Achievements: 2014 Senior Bowl MVP, 2013 first-team All-SEC
What he brings: Ford is a great athlete who plays hard, possessing great speed and burst for the outside linebacker position. Scouts consider him a speed rusher, as he relies on his speed to get to the quarterback. While he has shown some power, scouts fear he lacks the strength to go against NFL tackles, especially when it comes to setting the edge for the running game. While the 23-year-old had experience dropping into coverage at Auburn, scouts fear his speed is too average for the NFL.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 1-2
Notes: In 2013 Ford had 8.5 sacks and 26 tackles in the regular season, adding two sacks and three tackles in the BCS national championship game against Florida State. … He missed the first two games of 2013 with a left knee sprain. He missed all but three games in 2011 due to a back injury. The back injury was an issue at the NFL combine and left Ford unable to participate in any of the drills.

My Life, as I See Itby Dionne Warwick David F Wooley
Dionne Warwick made her singing debut in church at the request of her grandfather, the Reverend Elzae Warrick, when she was six years old. No one knew then that she would become an international music legend, but what she knew--as words of wisdom passed down from her grandfather--was that "if you can think it, you can do it." And she did it. Dionne released the first of more than fifty-six charted hits in 1962 with "Don't Make Me Over," followed by "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Walk On By," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Alfie," and "A House Is Not a Home," to name a few. She received her first Grammy in 1968 for "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" and later recorded the classic hit "That's What Friends Are For." She was considered the voice of Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions, and the rest is here, in her first autobiography. Dionne tells the stories of her life from her childhood in East Orange, New Jersey, in a two-family home with her parents, brother, and sister, to now, as she celebrates her fiftieth year in show business. She came by her musical gifts honestly. Her mother, Lee Drinkard Warrick, was a founding member of the legendary Drinkard Jubilairs, which included her mother's siblings Cissy, Marie, Annie, Nick, and Larry. Cissy went on to become a celebrated recording artist in her own right; she lived in the Warrick household, got married, and later gave birth to one of the most popular singers of our time, Whitney Houston. Dionne went on to start her own gospel group with her sister, Dee Dee, called the Gospelaires. Her father, once a Pullman porter, became an accountant, went on to promote gospel records for Hob Records, and wrote a book on gospel music. She attributes her strong family, who are faithful and industrious Christians, for keeping her grounded and giving her the fortitude, as well as the talent, to earn her place among world-class performing artists without losing herself or her soul.

When properly brewed for their second and third, even fourth, round (depending on the type of leaf)you will find that the flavor profile changes and new nuances come out... it's NOT just a weaker version of the same flavor.
Multiple brewings of the premium whole leaf teas is very traditional.
It's the way I have always done it...
And the way recommended to me by my friend who's close friends go to select premium tea from farms themselves (owners of Teance in SF)
I don't think that you are hurting anything by doing that... and as long as you are extracting flavor, you are certainly extracting some good chemical compounds IMO.

Updated at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, with new voting totals with all Saginaw County precincts now reporting.
SAGINAW, MI — Though portions of Saginaw County skew toward politically conservative, county voters have, in recent history, chosen Democrats for the nation's highest office.
Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2012, was no exception.
Of the 98,279 votes cast in the presidential race in Saginaw County, 54,372 (55.32 percent) were for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
Another 42,716 votes (43.46 percent) were cast for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In Saginaw County, there were 1,191 votes (1.2 percent of the total) cast for third-party and write-in presidential candidates.
With Brant Township and three Saginaw precincts still to be counted, Saginaw County's results look very similar to presidential voting numbers over the last 12 years. Over that time period, the Democratic candidate for president tends to bring 53-58 percent of the votes in Saginaw County, while Republican presidential candidates typically garner 40-46 percent of the vote.
In the 2008 general election, 57.8 percent of the 104,283 votes cast in Saginaw County for the presidential race were for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. Republican candidate John McCain took 40.49 percent of county votes.

EU, Africa Leaders Stress Action on Climate Change
4 April 2014: Delegates at the 4th European Union (EU)-Africa Summit adopted a Declaration that outlines commitments on peace and security, prosperity and people, including action on climate change. Leaders also agreed on a EU-Africa Ministerial Statement on Climate Change at a ministerial climate seminar, which took place in advance of the Summit.
The 4th EU-Africa Summit took place in Brussels, Belgium, on 2-3 April 2014. It brought together African and EU leaders, as well as the leaders of EU and African Union (AU) institutions. Opening the Summit, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described climate change as "the defining issue of our time." He emphasized the importance of raising ambition in 2014 to reach a meaningful climate agreement in 2015 and called on leaders to bring "bold announcements and actions" to his 2014 Climate Summit.
In the Declaration, leaders state their determination to adopt a "fair, equitable and legally binding agreement" under the UNFCC with a more efficient and universal scope to produce results on mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer, capacity building and transparency.
The Declaration describes several areas in which the EU will support Africa on climate change, including on: domestic preparations for nationally determined contributions towards the 2015 agreement; and preparing regional and national climate-resilient and low-emission development strategies, particularly in the agriculture and energy sectors and within the context of the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative (SE4ALL). The EU committed to provide more than €28 billion to Africa through bilateral cooperation at the meeting.
The Statement confirms action on climate change as "a central area of the Africa-EU Partnership." It also: calls for raising global pre-2020 ambition; highlights the importance of climate finance; and stresses the need to operationalize the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as soon as possible.
The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the European Commission (EC) signed a new Cooperation Arrangement at the meeting. The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation on development work and will deepen activities in priority areas, including on climate resilience, energy and infrastructure and capacity building.
Over 60 EU and African leaders attended the Summit, which convened under the theme 'Investing in People, Prosperity and Peace.' The ministerial climate seminar took place on 1 April in Brussels.

The fact that the Canfield High School wrestling team came into the season ready to wrestle really doesn't sound like groundbreaking news to most.
Cardinals coach Dean Conley begs to differ. Conley, in his 14th year at Canfield, said it's rare to have a wrestler enter the season conditioned to the point where he can complete a whole match. It's just as unusual for an athlete to be fundamentally sound with his moves at the outset of the season.
So, when the majority of the Canfield team came into practice polished and in shape, Conley was a bit surprised.
"This is the first time that has ever happened," he said. "We've always had a few kids in wrestling shape, but the whole team was ready to start working hard in October."
Conley says Canfield's dedication in the offseason is why they're so well prepared, and it's also the main reason they're off to an 11-2 start. The Cardinals dominated the competition in most of the 11 victories, and their only two losses were against St. Paris Graham, the 12-time Division II state champs, and Richmond (Mich.), which has won the last three Division III state titles in Michigan.
The Cardinals' wins were resounding, with lopsided victories over Austintown Fitch, Boardman, Beaver Local and Southeast - all of which are well-respected wrestling programs - just to name a few. They also toppled Poland, 42-24, in what was their closest victory of the season.
Conley wouldn't go as far as calling this is best team, but he's aware of their potential. The freshmen class was part of a junior high team that won the Ohio Athletic Committee, White Division dual-meet state title last year, and they've joined an experienced group of juniors and seniors - three who advanced to the district tournament last year - to form one of the stronger teams in the area. He said the biggest reason for their early success isn't necessarily talent, it's sticking with the sport throughout the summer.
"What's been nice is that our coaching staff teaches greco Roman and freestyle during the offseason," he said. "That stuff has a little different feel, so there's no pressure or practice scenario when they're there. It's important to get kids to understand that it isn't necessarily your wins and losses in the offseason, but just getting on the mat and trying new things."
The Cardinals' success has come without their top wrestlers, junior Korey Frost, who's been sidelined with a knee injury all season.
"He's been accelerating his elliptical and bike time," Conley said. "We think he'll probably go to the doctor on Friday, and we'll get an idea when he can return."
The Cardinals are at the Pin City Wrestling Tournament at Perry High School n Jan. 4-5 before a huge showdown with Howland. The victor will be a heavy favorite to win the Eastern Ohio Wrestling League dual-meet title in Division I.
EAGLES STARTING TO SOAR: Third-year Hubbard coach Donnie Newell admitted he expected a slow start to the season. The majority of the Eagles' roster is young and vastly inexperienced, so a few growing pains were inevitable.
Hubbard endured a few rough matches in the first few weeks, but the Eagles turned things around in a big way on Dec. 19 against Liberty. Hubbard came into a hostile environment against the returning Division III EOWL dual-meet champions and walked out with a huge, 56-24, victory.
"They had a Blackout Night and there was a bunch of stuff going on there," said Newell of the atmosphere, which included a spotlight over the mat. "They were excited and pumped up. That's our rival, so it was big for our guys. But we can't live off that."
Newell said he's slowly bringing along a team that is still learning the many facets of the sport. The Eagles will participate in their first individual tournament Jan. 4-5 at the Chippewa Invitational. He said several of his wrestlers have never taken part in a high school tournament.
"With a young team, there's so much for them to learn in a short period of time, so you can't overwhelm them with all aspects of the sport," he said. "They're a little nervous because they don't really know what to expect. The kids have to understand where they're at. But I'm happy so far with what's going on - better than what we expected."

Rep. Brian Bilbray is winning praise from the solar industry for casting the sole Republican vote this week against efforts to dismantle the federal loan guarantee program for clean energy linked to the Solyndra debacle.
In the run-up to fall elections, many Republicans in Congress have embraced the "No More Solyndras Act," which would go beyond implementing safeguards to improve loan guarantees and dismantle the program altogether.
California-based solar panel manufacturer Solyndra received a half-billion dollar federal loan guarantee before filing for bankruptcy protection last year.

Area in danger of losing rural lifestyle
Our local community is at a crossroads. There are many big decisions to be made regarding growth and our local environment. This area is on the verge of large scale development and in danger of losing the rural lifestyle most of us came here for. I have lived here 19 years and have gradually seen our rivers and forests decreasing in quality. I believe now is the time to decide what we value. Now is the time to let our elected officials know that we want sound growth management plans with the environment kept in mind.
We have all seen what unrestricted growth in other cities has caused and it would not be a pretty picture here. I am not against development, but I believe all people's interests should be included in planning. This includes leaving open spaces, protecting our forests and taking into account the future and not always the present.
We have a chance to be a model community where everyone's ideas are included and a quality plan for the future is developed. We must get involved and let it be known we want some protections for the future. Our children will not have the luxury of deciding what we have the opportunity to decide. They will receive whatever we give them, whether good or bad. It is possible to retain our rural setting without upsetting our economies. I hope that all sides can come together and compromise to make a difference.

Councillors are calling for urgent action to make safe an accident blackspot on the A614 at Kirkburn.
Over recent months there has been a succession of accidents, some resulting in serious injuries to road users.
East Riding of Yorkshire ward councillor Felicity Temple sid: "The A614 through Kirkburn is rapidly becoming a serious accident blackspot. We have been working with both the Kirkburn Parish Council and the local landowner to see what can be done to try to improve the situation. Many of the accidents are going un-reported so are not really known about by the ERYC Highway Officers, but the locals certainly know about them and are frequently on scene helping those involved. Officers are telling us that one of the causes is diesel spillages on the road surface."
Coun Symon Fraser said "This stretch of road at Kirkburn is due to be surface dressed in June in the Councils usual summer surface dressing programme. We are asking for this to be brought forward and for it to be done as soon as possible. The number of motorists who are losing control of their vehicles on the bends is worrying, it's a 50 mph limit but even this speed is too high for the bends. We are also asking Highway Officers to consider any other measures which might help drivers to appreciate the hazards."
Coun Barbara Hall said: "This road is very important to Driffield, it's one of the main feeder roads for the town used by a great number of Driffield residents and businesses, we urge the Council to do whatever it is able to do to make sure that it is fit for purpose. Every time there is a serious accident local families are in danger of being affected. Each time the roadway is closed by an accident local businesses are disrupted and delayed. It is important that improvements are put in place."

Man fair after accident
Rockford resident was pinned by backhoe at his home
A 66-year-old Rockford man has been upgraded to fair condition after being pinned by a backhoe at his home Tuesday morning,
Ronald Frahm, 2850 state Route 707, was operating a backhoe implement attached to his farm tractor shortly after 9 a.m. when the arm came up too far and pinned him against the roll bar, according to Mercer County Sheriff's Office reports.
Several people helping with the storm drainage project came to Frahm's aid. When initial attempts to free him failed, they cut hydraulic lines to lower the arm.
"Thankfully, people were there with him," Capt. Martin Emerine of the sheriff's office said this morning. "The quick action of the people at the scene certainly made a difference."
The 911 call, which initially went to the Van Wert County Sheriff's Office, indicated Frahm was not breathing at the time. Mercer County Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene.
He was taken to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater and transferred to Parkview Memorial Hospital in Fort Wayne, Ind.

It was truly an overwhelming experience to celebrating the IMF's decade of support of the myeloma community. The crowd provided a resounding bravo to an organization that has beaten the odds, having begun with little more than a typewriter, a lawn chair and high hopes. Fueled by the passion of its founders and the growing community of people it has helped, the IMF has had a remarkable impact on the quality of life for myeloma patients while working towards a cure. It is truly the "Little Engine That Could."
After spending the afternoon at his day job, changing into his tuxedo and hustling his Unknown Spouse to the Waldorf, the Unknown Patient joined attendees at a small reception to thank some of the folks who made the evening possible. After welcoming remarks by IMF President Susie Novis and IMF Chairman of the Board Prof. Brian Durie, a representative from Mayor Guliani's office welcomed the IMF to New York. Myeloma patient Marlene Zimmerman presented an original sculpture symbolizing the struggle for a cure to the evening's guest of honor, Charles Osgood. The Unknown Patient must confess to being a bit star-struck meeting Robin Leach, of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," the evening's emcee. Robin has a dear friend who is fighting myeloma and graciously donated his services in his honor. IMF board member Mark DiCicilia surprised Susie Novis and Prof. Durie, presenting them with a beautiful crystal eagle, poignantly missing one wing symbolizing the loss of Brian Novis, one of the founders of the
As he sipped his soft drink and struggled to keep up with his spouse as she conducted her inimitable social blitz through the reception, the Unknown Patient couldn't help but reflect on ten wonderful years. The IMF is all about people helping people. Mingling with the crowd during the reception that opened the Gala, it was truly heartening to see so many familiar faces, gathered from near and far, all there to salute the IMF – an organization that has helped fund so much promising research and whose name has been synonymous with caring and patient empowerment.
There were many new friends in the room, brought to the IMF by patients, their families and business associates. He was also happy to see young investigators who had received IMF grants to fund their research as well as more seasoned myeloma experts and their characteristically Unseen spouses. The Unknown patient was particularly gratified to be fully dressed in his tuxedo, talking to these docs with a drink in his hand versus looking up from a table at the wrong end of a bone marrow biopsy needle.
Unfortunately, there was also a clear sense of who wasn't in the room. So many people who helped make the IMF a reality and worked tirelessly to deliver on its promise are no longer with us. These were people like Brian Novis, who, together with Susie Novis and Brian Durie, founded the IMF. Others like Francesca Thompson, Sharon Rudolph, June Brazil, Bill Solomon, Joe Feurey and Aki Horinouchi were also sorely missed. Each helped the IMF in their own special way. As the Unknown Patient has often heard his good friend and IMF board member Michael Katz say, "We must reach out a helping hand to those that follow us to give them the support that we got when we needed it most." These folks embodied that noble sentiment and the Unknown Patient knows that they were with us in spirit.
Sufficiently doused with soft drinks, stuffed with hors d'oeuvres and having exhausted his tongue jabbering with the ebullient throng, the Unknown Patient hunted down his spouse and made his way to his table. Tablemates included Michael Katz and his lovely wife Susan, along with Michael Scott and his better half Ilona. Mike Scott is an IMF board member who, among other things, helped the Unknown Patient develop the original IMF web site.
Michael Katz was soon plucked from our table to join Prof. Brian Durie and Susie Novis onstage for the formal program. Robin Leach introduced Brian and Susie, who spoke about the Foundation's humble beginnings at a meeting between a patient (Brian Novis), his wife (Susie Novis) and their doctor (Brian Durie) in a coffee shop in London in November of 1989. Next, Susie and Brian recognized recipients of the Francesca Thompson Outstanding Service Award. Francesca was an active patient advocate for the IMF who epitomized the ideal of helping fellow patients and caregivers. Francesca Thompson Award Recipients in attendance at the gala included Charles Briscoe, Dean Gallea (on behalf of June Brazil), Michael Katz, Chuck and Sharon Newman, Irv Skolnick (on behalf of Sharon Rudolph), and Don Springer.
Next up was Michael Katz, who drew a huge round of applause when he introduced himself as a myeloma survivor diagnosed over ten years ago. The Unknown Patient prays for the day when every myeloma patient can easily reach the ten year mark and well beyond. Mike presented the IMF's first ever Quality of Life Awards (see this page). He commended
Prof. Herbert Fleisch and John Seaman – the folks who helped make Aredia® (Pamidronate) available to the myeloma community. They have saved so many people from the unspeakable and unnecessary agony of broken bones. Then Mike explained how John Jackson, the CEO of Celgene Corporation, had brought new options to people who previously would have been sent home to die by bringing Thalomid® (Thalidomide) to market.
The first ever IMF Courage Award was presented to Beth Wolmer-Jacobson, a caregiver who had identified thalidomide as an option for her husband, a myeloma patient. She was able to convince his doctor, IMF Scientific Advisor Bart Barlogie, to seek approval to test the drug with two myeloma patients. Beth's husband, unfortunately, did not respond and subsequently died. However, the second patient had a dramatic response and the rest is history.
The Unknown Patient was thrilled to see these people recognized because they have truly made a world of difference. He was more than thrilled to see Werner Osterwalder, a long time supporter of IMF Patient & Family Seminars worldwide, recognized for his dedication to patient empowerment through education. The Unknown Patient has been to many IMF Patient & Family Seminars sponsored by Novartis through Werner's efforts. He knows how much they help patients and caregivers take control of their situation and end the horrible loneliness and fear that so often accompanies a diagnosis of myeloma.
The delicious Waldorf-catered dinner was accompanied by great music provided by myeloma survivor Lee Grayson and his band. Our Unknown attendee was ecstatic as Robin Leach helped run a live auction for all sorts of neat stuff. It began on a light note as Robin auctioned off bow ties being worn by Charles Osgood and Brian Durie. Bidding was brisk as Robin was doing an incredible job of marketing the goods while reminding the crowd how wonderful a cause they were helping. His exuberance and sincerity were incredible, born of a profound understanding of what myeloma can do and how important it is to do everything possible to help those who have it now and ultimately find a cure. We are grateful to him for donating his services and for the wonderful job that he did. It was so much fun to watch and so wonderful to see all that money being raised so quickly!
There's so much more on the Unknown Patient's mind about that night it's hard to squeeze it into these pages. Let us just say that our Unknown Author has never felt so proud to be a part of the IMF and wants to thank the dinner chairs, Marcy Bernstein and Carol Klein, along with all of the wonderful people who worked behind the scenes to solicit contributions, organize the event and donate time, money and merchandise. It was a truly magnificent team effort and a huge outpouring of passion for "Making A World Of Difference." Thank you! Thank you!
Thank You!

When asked about a contract agreement with lefthanded reliever Dennys Reyes on the final day of the winter meetings last week, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. would not comment.
The Phillies' policy is that no deal is done until the player has signed on the dotted line.
In Reyes' case, the team's caution proved prudent, because the deal did not get done.
"We were not able to finish it off," Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said Friday.
The Phillies and Reyes had agreed at the winter meetings to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million, with a second-year option, that sent the veteran to the bullpen as a replacement for J.C. Romero.

AUSTIN Chase Schulte twice hit miracle buzzer-beating shots to force a pair of overtimes and the Nazareth Swifts were the last team standing, outlasting Oakwood, 69-60, Thursday morning in a thrilling three overtimes for the Class 1A Division II basketball state championship.
The title was the Swifts second in a row and came after Nazareth scored only 11 first-half points and trailed by 10 at intermission. But a second-half comeback and some clutch shooting by Schulte and Eric Schilling gave the Swifts a win in a classic contest that opened the UIL state tournament.
No way was the plan for me to shoot either of the last shots. We were looking to Eric the whole way, but it just kind of worked out, Schulte said.
Worked out might be a bit of an understatement as the senior first hit a twisting in-the-lane three-footer with .3 seconds remaining in regulation to force the first overtime. He then hit a long-distance 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at the end of the first overtime.
The victory was in doubt early in the game as Schilling, Nazareths all-state post, picked up two fouls in less than four minutes of the first quarter. He left the game with Nazareth trailing 4-2 with 4:17 left in the first quarter. When Schilling returned at the start of the second quarter, Nazareth trailed 17-4.
Man that was shock to get two fouls so quick. I really was out of my game until midway through the second half, but then we got it going, said Schilling, who led the Swifts with 21 points and 16 rebounds.
Oakwood (24-8), an East Texas hamlet with 87 students, used a patient inside attack with the powerful Owens cousins, Carlious and R.E., combining for 53 of the Panthers 60 points. Oakwood came within a pair of Schulte shots from a state title after winning only four games last season and seven in the previous three seasons combined.
We played our hardest. We thought we had it a couple of times, but they wouldnt quit, said Carlious Owens, who finished with 29 points and 13 rebounds.
The Swifts (27-6) played Oakwood on even terms in the second quarter but still barely cracked double digits in the first half, trailing 21-11.
Nazareth 69, Oakwood 60
Records: Nazareth improved to 27-6, while Oakwood ends its season at 24-8.
Impact: The Swifts win their second consecutive 1A Division II state title.
Key Stat: Nazareths Chase Schulte hit two clutch baskets a short jumper in the lane with .3 seconds left in regulation, and a three-pointer at the buzzer in the first overtime to prevent the Swifts from losing.
Nazareth, however, got unhinged after intermission. Tyson Schulte hit a 3-pointer to open the third quarter. Jordy Rowland connected on a 10-foot jumper and added a NBA-range 3-pointer as the Swifts closed within 23-19.
Oakwood took a 32-27 lead into the fourth quarter, but R.E. and Carlious Owens hit back-to-back baskets for a 36-27 lead. Schillings five points were part a a 9-2 run as Naz closed within 38-36.
Nazareths Adam Acker stole an Oakwood inbound pass and scored the tying basket with 4:13 left. Schilling hit a jumper near the top of the key to give Naz the lead at 40-38 with 3:43 remaining.
The two teams traded points that had the game tied at 48-48 with 1:08 remaining. Oakwood ran the clock down to 21 seconds. Carlious Owens then lobbed a pass underneath to a cutting Joseph Guster, who scored to give the Panthers a 50-48 lead with 21.7 seconds left.
Chase Schulte hit a twisting lay-up at the buzzer to tie the game at 50-50 and force the first overtime. Rowland gave Nazareth the lead with the first basket of the overtime, but consecutive baskets by the Owens cousins gave Oakwood a 54-52 lead with 44 seconds left.
Nazareth missed three shots in the final 20 seconds, but Oakwood was unable to convert the front end of two one-and-one free throws. Carlious Owens put the Panthers ahead 55-52 with a free throw with eight seconds left, but Chase Schulte buried a 22-foot three-pointer as time expired to send the contest into a second overtime.
Overtime No. 2 saw Jordy Rowland score five points and the Owens cousins match that, three by R.E. and two by Carlious. Tied at 60-60, it appeared that the Panthers ran out of gas as all five starters played all but the final 43 seconds of the third overtime.
Schilling hit a lay-up as the Swifts took the lead for good at 62-60.
Schilling hit two free throws, and then Chase Schulte closed out the game with three free throws for the final margin.
Nazareth will meet Tenaha (25-7) at 9 a.m. Saturday for Class 1As Texas Cup. The exhibition game matches the two division winners. Tenaha defeated Lipan, 72-55, Thursday for the Division I title.
