Chang Weisberg Addresses Rock the Bells Cancellation, Confirms 2014 Return
Straight from the Guerilla Union founder's mouth.
Straight from the Guerilla Union founder's mouth.
Bad news East Coasters. Due to lack of ticket sales, Guerilla Union was forced to cancel the remaining dates of their Rock the Bells festival in Washington, DC (September 28 & 29) and New Jersey (October 4 & 5). Says Chang Weisberg, founder and owner of GU: First and foremost, it is with great sadness

In order to properly celebrate the Rock the Bells festival's tenth year in existence, you'd have to show that the hip hop culture is steadily running through your veins. Guerilla Union pulled out all the stops to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of Wu Tang Clan's formation complete with virtually-created holograms to honor
Guerilla Union recently announced the official line-up to this year's Rock the Bells festival. And while some artists come at no surprise (Wu-Tang Clan, Black Hippy, Immortal Technique, Tech N9ne, etc), a shocker came as it was revealed that there will be "original virtual performances" by both Ol' Dirty and Eazy-E. More holograms? According to
The rest of the Wu will be hitting the stage during Wu-Block's set at the New Jersey stop of Rock the Bells this weekend.

The 64th USBC Masters Championship will begin with qualifying rounds on Tuesday and wrap up with the live television finals (ESPN, 3 p.m.) on Sunday, Feb. 23.
One of the sport's four major championships, it actually predates the founding of the Professional Bowling Association Tour. It was – and still may be – bowling's premier event, open to all comers.
For followers of the Masters in Western New York it's been almost as frustrating as the Bills' Super Bowl runs in the 1990s. No Western New Yorker has won the Masters, but four men have come agonizingly close on seven occasions.
The first was the late Tom Harnisch, who was fourth in the 1966 tournament in Rochester. Harnisch collected $1,800 in a tournament won by Bob Strampe.
Local bowlers were out of the Masters picture until the 1980s, when a phenom from Black Rock, Tom Baker, made two runs at the title.
In 1981, at age 26, Baker finished third in a tournament won by Randy Lightfoot of St. Charles, Mo. Baker defeated Dave Soutar, 204-200, in the first match of the stepladder finals and then eliminated Wayne Webb of Tucson, Ariz., 215-181, before losing a close match to eventual champion Lightfoot, 217-213.
The next year, Baker was back challenging again, finishing fourth. This time he defeated Steve Fehr of Cincinnati, 222-200, in the opening match of the finals but fell to eventual runner-up Ted Hannahs of Zanesville, Ohio, 212-188. Joe Berardi of Brooklyn was the winner that year.
Seventeen years later, Baker finished fourth in the 1999 Masters won by Brian Boghosian, an amateur from New England.
Nobody has come closer to winning the Masters, though, than Jack Jurek of Lackawanna. He twice has been the runner-up in this milennium.
Jurek was the top qualifier in 2006, but lost to Doug Kent of Newark, 277-230, in the final match
"It's disappointing not to finish it off, but it's probably the best week I've ever had," said Jurek, who earned $50,000 for finishing second. "This is my biggest pay day, and no matter what happens from here, I'm going to have my biggest year."
Jurek was the top qualifier again in 2011. This time he ran into a hot bowler – an unsung regional pro named Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa – and some tough luck in the final match.
Jurek struck on six of his first seven shots and led by 22 pins before disaster struck, back to back splits in the eighth and ninth frames. Hess ended up winning, 225-214, for his first career win.
In between, in 2010, Ryan Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, only 23 at the time, qualified third for the Masters final. He defeated fourth seed Mike Scroggins, 246-229, in the opening match but lost to Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr., 258-224, in the next round.
Williams went on to win his second Masters and 47th tour title, defeating Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, 290-217, at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno.
Will another Western New Yorker figure in this year's Masters? Ciminelli, Jurek and Baker are entered. Brad Angelo of Lockport, John Szczerbinski of North Tonawanda, Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga and Frontier High senior Chad Mee also are in the field of 470 at the Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, N.J.
Defending champion is Jason Belmonte of Australia, who won the Tournament of Champions last month. Belmonte will be attempting to be the first repeat winner since Billy Welu in 1964 and '65.
Burgio takes charge
Joe Burgio of the Tonawandas Association was the top qualifier last Sunday in the 23rd Annual Tri-City Masters at Bowl-O-Drome Lanes in Niagara.
Burgio bowled 1,340 (223 average) in the six-game qualifying. Match play will be Sunday starting at 11 a.m.
It came down to a roll-off betwen Mark Doel and Rob Samborek for the final spot in the field of 24. Doel won, 257-244.
Former champions Mike Hanes, Mike DeMartinis, Mike Firzak, Mike Wozniak and Peter Maduri are among those who qualified for match play.
The top eight bowled 1,269 or better and earned a bye into the second round of match play. Matches are two-game total pinfall.

When dealing with Exit Signs and Emergency lighting it is important to be prepared for anything. Exit sign batteries and emergency light batteries are imperative to proper preparation and code compliant regulations. Back up batteries for Exit Signs and Emergency lighting are essential and necessary for building code compliancy as well. Exit sign batteries and emergency light batteries will give at least 90 minutes of back up illuminating energy.
Today most exit signs are dual powered. Two of the bulbs are always on at all times, using AC power. The second set of bulbs is powered by the internal back up battery. These are called the DC bulbs. The exit sign battery or emergency light battery will go into action if the AC power is cut for any reason. Exit Signs which have a back up battery have a small switch or a small button on the side or on the front of the Exit Sign. This is the test button. This test button will check the effectiveness of your back up battery by lighting up the DC bulbs. If after depressing this test button, the DC bulbs do not activate, you may need to replace your Exit Sign battery or your emergencly light battery.
The exit sign battery is usually located in a compartment right above the word "Exit". If you find that your Exit Sign is not lit or only halfway lit when connected to the normal AC power supply, you may need to replace your bulbs. You can access these bulbs through removal of the faceplate of your exit sign. You will see the AC bulbs which are the long screw-in types as well as the DC bulbs which are smaller and powered by the back up battery. These Exit Signs, bulbs, and back up batteries are available at Exit Sign Warehouse. Exit Sign Warehouse is always available to answer questions and give any information needed.Compare our prices and save.

1. Siemens USA, which one of the biggest manufacturers of turbines, electrical machinery, and new energy systems, has replicated the apprenticeship program it developed in Germany to train workers in the US. The company has directed its recruiters to start actively recruiting manufacturing professionals from competitors because the talent is not available in the US marketplace.
"There is a mismatch between the jobs available and the people we see out there," said Eric Spiegel, the Chief Executive of US Siemens business, recently quoted in the Financial Times.
2. Hiring is up. Manpower Group, one of the largest global staffing agencies, reported last month that hiring intentions are at the highest levels since 2008, with 20% of all employers planning to add staff in Q3 of this year. Yet skills shortages have become more acute, creating a growing mismatch between demand and supply.
Yet talent gaps have grown significantly. "Employers in India, the United States, China and Germany report the most dramatic talent shortage surges compared to last year. In India, the percentage of employers indicating difficulty filling positions jumped 51 percentage points. Nearly one in four employers say environmental/market factors play a major role in the talent shortage—employers simply aren't finding anyone available in their markets. Another 22% of employers say their applicants lack the technical competencies or "hard" skills needed for the job, while candidates' lack of business knowledge or formal qualifications is the main reason identified by 15% of employers."
"Approximately three-quarters of employers globally cite a lack of experience, skills or knowledge as the primary reason for the difficulty filling positions. However, only one in five employers is concentrating on training and development to fill the gap. A mere 6% of employers are working more closely with educational institutions to create curriculums that close knowledge gaps"
3. The talent-skills gap is forcing a change in HR strategy.
Our recent meetings with a wide variety of clients (Deloitte, Accenture, McKinsey as well as Network Appliance, Xerox, Kaiser Permanente, United Health Group, Cypress Semiconductor, Tata, and HP) all show that larger organizations are rethinking their talent strategy to deal with a world of skills imbalances. Some of the major trends we are studying this and next year include:
* The integration of the talent acquisition function with internal talent management, to dramatically improve internal talent mobility
* Reinvestment in core employee development programs (Deloitte just opened a brand new Corporate University) to enable the organization to hire younger, lower skilled workers
* Shift in strategy from formal training to a strategic focus on informal learning (including a strong focus on a peer-to-peer learning culture) to help share internal expertise with new employees much more quickly
* A reinvestment in learning technology and systems (L&D spending is up 11% this year, read our Corporate Learning Factbook for more details)
* A total re-thinking of talent acquisition strategies to deal with both social networking and the need to aggressively recruit passive, skilled candidates
* A shift in HR management policies to develop a strategic program for the management of contingent workers (consultants, part-time workers, alumni, contract specialists) so that deep skills can be acquired wherever they may be (we will be publishing more on this topic later in the year).
The talent management challenges of the next few years are going to be different - I encourage you to listen to my comments in the video link above so you can understand how the new "Borderless Workplace" will drive your HR and talent strategy for the year ahead.
PS - watch for some very exciting new product announcements coming next week as the national SHRM conference kicks off in Las Vegas. I will be blogging about several here in the coming days.

In an important blog post, IMF Chairman Dr. Brian Durie shares more information from Dr. Stephen Russell who, along with his team at the Mayo Clinic, treated a myeloma patient with a massive dose of engineered measles virus in a clinical trial. Many are wondering: if this virus is so strong that it can destroy myeloma, why isn't it causing a raging case of measles? CLICK HERE to read Dr. Durie's blog with the enlightening answer.
The IMF will host the 5th Annual International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Summit next week in Milan, Italy. New myeloma research will be front and center, and will be shared directly from Milan during the IMWG Conference Series, "Making Sense of Treatment," which will be live streamed on June 11th. Other key events will include the presentation of the Robert A. Kyle Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. Antonio Palumbo and the 2nd annual Global Myeloma Alliance (GMA) Summit. Follow news live from the IMWG Summit on Twitter using the hashtag #IMWG14 and stay tuned for next week's edition of the Myeloma Minute for more news from the Summit.
Congratulations to IMF Executive Board member Michael S. Katz, who won the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) 2014 Partners in Progress Award! It is awarded annually to a patient advocate who has made "significant contributions in the field of cancer care." Since he began volunteering with the IMF in 1990, the year he was diagnosed with myeloma, Mike has made countless contributions to the field of myeloma. Mike credits IMF President and Co-Founder Susie Novis for inspiring his start as a patient advocate. "She brought me in to help IMF set up its database and [introduced me to] the work the Foundation was doing with seminars for patients and their families. Being in a room with 200 patients with myeloma and informing them that [they] can live well with this disease over the long term is incredible," said Mike. READ MORE

Google's new search policy leaves free Internet advocates worried
Yesterday, Google announced that it will begin using copyright takedown notices to influence where sites show up in search results. The general idea behind it is that if a site has a lot of takedown notices (made under DMCA), it risks being demoted in search rankings. Obviously, this new decision has won the hearts of copyright advocates like the MPAA and the RIAA, but it's making those who would keep the Internet free and open a little uneasy.

Friday Photos: Autumn Splendor at Keswick Hall in Virginia
One of the best places for autumn leaf-peeping in the U.S. is-- without a doubt-- Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Just minutes from Thomas Jefferson's historic Monticello estate near Charlottesville, Keswick Hall overlooks some of the prettiest scenery on the East Coast. Come fall, the mountains are painted in firey reds and ochre yellows, and the hotel's 600-acre estate bursts into color. There are recreational activities galore-- from horseback riding to jogging the nature trails. And fall also means grape stomping in the vineyards! The resort invites guests to crush local grapes to make the hotel's Chardonnay and Petit Verdot wines. Enjoy farm-fresh meals and local wine tastings while soaking up the autumn splendor at Keswick Hall.

A new breath analyzer may be able to examine patients for diabetes, making it easy to screen large groups of at-risk populations.
The new method, described in an article in Diabetes Care (March 2009), measures the amount of exhaled carbon dioxide labeled with a short-lived isotope, carbon-13, after people drink a solution of glucose with the isotope.
To test the new method, Dr. Melinda Sheffield-Moore and her colleagues at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston collected blood and breath samples from 17 subjects every 30 minutes for 10 hours after they consumed a drink with the carbon-labeled glucose. The breath analyzer was able to detect marked differences between normal and pre-diabetic individuals within 60 minutes.

Teahouses can be found all over China, reflecting the importance of tea in Chinese culture. Tea drinking gained popularity in the Song Dynasty and before long, teahouses outnumbered restaurants in China. Often decorated with exquisite calligraphy, paintings and rare plants in order to attract clientele, teahouses prospered during the Ming and Qing dynasties and became an essential daily ritual for many Chinese people.
Teahouses remain popular places to socialize, relax and take time out while savoring the taste and aroma of a variety of teas. There are an overwhelming number of different teas available in China. Choose from an extensive menu of green, white, scented, black or Wulong tea in almost any teahouse.
Tea pouring and tasting is an art form that takes on a meditative quality. Emphasis is placed on the color, fragrance and flavor of the tea as well as the quality of the water and the tea set. Tea is never sipped after first being poured but instead tipped back into the pot in order to warm the cup and allow a further immersion of flavors.
Tea drinking is also viewed as a spiritual activity among the Chinese. The qualities of tea are believed to embody the best qualities in an individual and the savoring of tea is an opportunity to contemplate and reflect.
The best way to experience the importance of tea in Chinese culture is to visit a local teahouse and try some for yourself!

Sears Aces 358-Modified Futures Race
by NSSN Staff
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Tim Sears, Jr., debuted his No. 83x small block at the New York State Fairgrounds' Moody Mile with a win in Friday's DIRTcar 358-Modified Futures race.
Sears started at the pole in the 15-lap rookie race, and showed that he was taking to driving his 358-Modified on the Mile like a fish to water.
"It's a little different, not quite as much motor, but almost," Sears said of his new ride.
Sears placed 20th in time trials, putting him in the tenth starting spot for tonight's Twin 20 qualifier for Saturday's Gander Mountain 150.
Rounding out the top five in the DIRTcar 358-Modified Futures race are Jason Herrington in second, Brian Murphy in third, David Papineau in fourth, and Jeff Rockefeller in fifth.

NEW YORK - One of the art world's most recognizable images - Edvard Munch's The Scream - sold Wednesday for a record $119,922,500 at auction in New York City.
The 1895 artwork - a modern symbol of human anxiety - was sold at Sotheby's. The buyer's name was not released.
The image of a man holding his head and screaming under a streaked, blood-red sky is one of four versions by the Norwegian expressionist painter. The auctioned piece at Sotheby's is the only one left in private hands.
The previous record for an artwork sold at auction was $106.5 million for Picasso's Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust, sold by Christie's in 2010.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has named Joe Oliver as his new finance minister.
Oliver — who had been the natural resources minister — replaces Jim Flaherty, who has decided to resign from cabinet.
Junior minister Greg Rickford, meanwhile, has been promoted to take over the Natural Resources portfolio.
The 73-year-old Oliver — born and raised in Montreal — is widely respected within the Harper cabinet and among Conservatives, and is well known on Bay Street, having spent decades working there as an investment banker.
He went on to become executive director of the Ontario Securities Commission and then president of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.
But Oliver has a much different demeanour than Flaherty, and often appears gruff and highly partisan.

IT IS NOT breaking news that NASCAR is trying to appeal to younger racing fans. Fans who grew up watching Richard Petty, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and other stars from their era are aging and attending fewer races than before.
Dover International Speedway and Pocono Raceway, the venues for the next two Sprint Cup races, are among the tracks that are focusing on providing "entertainment experiences" for fans. Young fans aren't content to just watch races. They want big screens and audio enhancements.

I watch the news because Brian Williams makes me feel like someone is at the helm of all this crap. I know, he isn;'t, but he makes me feel that way. Nice 160, Brian!

It's strange, i've been close to a couple of (smallish) events that ended up on the news or in the paper. They never get the story right, in my experience. Multiply those errors by all the possible "events" and you have a lot of misinformation out there.

First of all I've been watching DOOL since it's start when I was in Kindergarten. No lie! lol As for the news, I find it disturbing that many people take it as gospel, that always bothers me as it changes alot sometimes. I think many people hear news stories and never think to disect it or use their best common sense.

I have delivered pigs, but never tried to put lipstick on one... so funny.
I notice Fireblossom watches Brian Williams too. If I watch the world news, he is my first choice. Mostly because he is so damn good-looking... ; )
Thanks for your visit today.

I do my best to avoid the news. Up here, eh, we get to watch both the US media as well as our own, and the difference in the perception of what is news is stunning to behold...they need more than lipstick to pretty them up!I think a lovely shade of "truth" rather than propaganda would really go a long way to bring out the inner beauty. :) Hope you are all having an awesome time, wish you all the very best of luck, and I'm wanting one of those postcards. Colour me envious and excited for you at the same time ~N

Only watch the news if you are feeling overly optimistic and need an overdose of dressed up tragedies and bent truths.

great job with 160 - and it's so sad but true that they seem to hold the keys to the kingdom - and grow more powerful every day!

I watch the news so that I can find out what not to believe.
- March 27, 2011 at 7:52 AM
- David Allen Waters said...
the news becomes more and more like a reality tv show than a serious news cast everyday ... well done my friend. case in point, less time spent broadcasting about the awful disaster in Japan and hrs upon hrs spent on charlie sheens breakdown...not seriously telling us he needs help, but making fun of him...lipstick on pigs indeed.
- March 27, 2011 at 7:56 AM
- clean and crazy said...
i watch the news today because i don't want to live my life with my head buried in the sand anymore like nothing else matters.
great advise about lipstick on the pig, thanks i will keep that in mind

Bwahahaha... Gone are those days forever, we hope. Lots of jobs for spin doctors... Hehehe, I enjoyed this - especially the last few lines...

I try to stay away from the news. I used to be a news junkie, but realized how slanted they are and of course how they thrive on sensationalism.
Nice poem to express all this.
Hope you're still having fun in my hometown. Enjoy.

- rhymetime(aka Pat) said...
Yeah the new is a bunch of crap
As somethings get a bad rap
Just to get people to watch
When really it's one big botch
As alot of it isn't true
But sure I don't need to tell you
For it's once again all about the dough
And now away I go

Brian, on the best day of your life, how did the world turn?

- Pheromone Girl said...
I think it's funny that people choose a station to watch because of the talking head on a given channel, like most of them even know how to write.
Politics are too much a part of anything "official" anymore. I get my news the old fashioned way - read enough and you get to the truth (at least YOUR truth).
Very nicely done. Aren't you supposed to be traveling???
- March 27, 2011 at 9:30 AM

It's no longer news being reported, it's opinions being spewed...lipstick or no. Great Sunday 160 and thanks for playing.

No two stations ever report the same issue the same way, goes from one extreme to another and Sirius radio is the same slant but I expect it from Sirius just not the major news stations.....one day the truth will survive the spin.....just have to believe that.
Hope your weekend is going well.

Great 160. You can't always depend on the news for truth. Especially if it's Fox. ;)

I don't watch the news...high blood pressure, you know. It is such a catch twenty-two...to be informed or not, but with the truth or not? It's too easy to see how biased news on the television or in print is. Someone always has their own agenda.
How did you evening in the spotlight go?

sorry - this one made me smile because my uncle used to have pigs and i just tried to picture how they would've looked with their lips painted...agh...but i also get the deeper meaning of this post...i do...

hahaha have you ever tried to put lipsticks on pigs? I can't help picturing you trying. Would the pig stand still? Must be quite a struggle to do.
ok so I assume this is an saying a don't know so I keep reading it literally. Too funny.

Yes, Brian..our media and how we are affected by it is quite thought provoking. Like why we spent days and days of air time on Charlie Sheen and startlets or linger on the death of Michael Jackson, while there are still soldiers losing limbs and life out there. Escapism?

About the closest thing I get to the news is listening to NPR in the morning on the way to work. That's enough for me. Fox, CNN, all the talk, talk, talk, news shows just tire me out...you said so much in so few words!

Great imagery in the first stanza. It made me laugh, though I know the commentary is a sad one. I wonder what America would be like if our news wasn't filled with fear-mongering? Hmmmmm... loved it, as always :)

I've never tried to put lipstick on a pig and I can't/I mean won't watch the news because it gives me nightmares. My real life is enough to deal with.
Powerful 160, as always, Brian.
I do hope that you and yours are happy and well. I miss you.

To deface a pig is a terrible thing to do. Yet, some of our so called great minds and leaders make light of such. I'd hate to be a pig, not because of the lipstick, but idea.

A former front desk clerk at Stowe's Ye Old England Inn is facing eight counts of embezzlement after fraudulent refunds were allegedly made to credit cards in his name. Stowe Police allege Jonathan Dissanayake (AKA Larose) created reservations under a false name and then canceled the transaction crediting his card for the false reservation. This is alleged to have happened nine times, on eight days, between September 8 and October 6. Dissanayake is alleged to have taken $8,566.54 with the transactions. According to Stowe Police officer Fred Whitcomb's affidavit, the crime was discovered when Union Bank employees noticed refunds made without an offsetting sale. Court documents show Dissanayake has previous arrests for petit larceny (for which he served 40 days) and passing bad checks (for which he received a four to 12 month suspended sentence in 2011).

Hey kids.
Nah, How Yoo Doin??
I hope you're doing well. I'm pretty sure I'm doing well, but I'm in the middle of a sugar coma right now, and there's not much that I'm certain of at this point. Example: I spelled "of" wrong, three different ways. You might not think it possible, but I found a way. It's my own fault. Since breaking the sweets fast at 1AM on Easter Sunday with a slice (or two) of Grapefruit Cheesecake, I've had
- 2 more slices of cheesecake
- 1 doughnut
- 2 1/2 cinnamon rolls
- 1 jelly bean
- 2 York Peppermint patties
- 1 heaping helping of chocolate cake
- thin mint icecream
- 2 chocolate bars
- 8 left-in-the-freezer-for-a-month chewy chocolate meringues
And that was just yesterday. I'm eating carrots right now, trying to find some sort of balance. It's not working.
Today, I bring you the Bird Cake (adapted from blissfully domestic), of which I've had a few nibbles, on top of my morning cinnamon roll and smoothie.
I'm going to try and do a food-bloggy thing, where you get some pictures, and a nice recipe to follow at the bottom. I don't know if it will work, I'm not really sure of what I'm doing. But by golly, it's Cake Week, and I'm going to give it my best shot!
The Players:
|Laying everything out, measured and ready, is called Mis en Place.
The pro's do it, because they're cool like that.
I do it so I only have to think at the beginning of the recipe.
The batter for this cake is actually cooked on the stove, which makes it pretty unique. I've never cooked cake batter before. Because it has
espresso powder instant coffee in it, and you do the whole chocolate part first, I nearly convinced myself to just drink it and disappear from bloggydom. That way you'd never know.
In case you get that feeling too, just move quickly to step 3. Pouring 2 cups of flour in something makes it look much less like something you'd enjoy drinking.
|This recipe only used a large saucepan, and a whisk.
I don't count the spoon, because I only used it to lick the bowl.
I also don't count the calories, because this was done before breakfast.
Don't judge.
Once the cake was baked & cooled, it was time for the extras. The filling is just a white icing, with chopped up chocolate chips in it. The topping is a chocolate ganache. I had a little trouble with the consistency of the ganache, but I was riding a wave of research-motivation, and was rushing to get to my office before said wave crashed.
NOTE: DO NOT USE COFFEE CREAMER. I thought it might be nice since the batter was all coffee-smelling. It's not. It's a bad choice. Don't be like me. Make good choices.
|The top, meh.
It's not too bad.
|The sides are an entirely different matter.
Whether your Monday is the cakewreck kind or not, I hope you find a way to enjoy it! Anything exciting happening for you?
(happily) Shaking from the sugar,

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Student Incidental Fees?
How do they show up on my bill?
What services are provided by the fee?
Can I opt out of certain fees I don't use?
How much is the fee?
Who decides how much the fee is?
How can I change or offer imput on how our fees are spent?
What are Student Incidental Fees?
- Student/Incidental Fees are fees paid by every student enrolled at OSU to support student-led organizations, student government, provide more opportunities for students to further their education, and provide services to the student community that would otherwise be unavailable or affordable.
How do they show up on my bill?
- Student Incidental Fees are collected by the OSU administration at the same time that tuition and other fees are assessed to your student account. They appear under the names "Incidental Fee" and "Health Fee".
What services are provided by the fee?
- The fees collected provide students with access to Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services, and RecSports (including Dixon Rec. Center and intramural sports); tickets to OSU football, basketball, baseball, and other university home games; various subsidies available through ASOSU, HSRC and Childcare; Cultural Resource Centers, and many other services not listed here.
Can I opt out of certain fees I don't use?
- Students cannot opt out of incidental fees. The entire student body paying into the pot makes it cheaper for everyone. If fees were optional it would cause a huge increase in the per-student fee and many services would likely have to be eliminated. Additionally, it is constitutional for this mandatory fee to be instituted, even if it funds activities that you disagree with. For more information, visit Southworth vs. University of Wisconsin Board of Regents for information on a series of legal battles that culminated in a Supreme Court ruling.
How much is the fee?
- For the 2016-2017 school year, each student enrolled full time pays $446.21 per term for Fall, Winter and Spring Terms. The Summer Term 2017 is $377.18
Who decides how much the fee is?
- The fee level is determined by the Student Incidental Fees Committee (SIFC) during winter term each year. The committee is made up of seven (7) voting members. These include six (6) At-Large committee members elected from the student body in the annual general election as well as the ASOSU president. A representative from each house of the ASOSU Congress also sits on the committee in a non-voting, ex-officio role. Fee levels set by the SIFC are also subsequently approved by both houses of the ASOSU Congress, and then sent to the University President for approval.
How can I change or offer input on how our fees are spent?
- The student fee is created and monitored by students attending the university. The simplest way to make sure your voice is heard is to attend the open budget presentations that occur during winter term. At that time that you can hear how each of these budgets is spent and the anticipated level of next year's fee. Then you can attend the SIFC Open Hearing and give your personal input to the committee before final decisions are made. The committee encourages any and all students to attend this meeting and express their ideas and concerns regarding the fee. The Open Hearing will be advertised in advance on this website and in the Daily Barometer.
- If you would like to have even more impact on the student fee, make sure you vote in the ASOSU general election held during the spring term. At that time the At-Large student members of SIFC are elected, as well as many ASOSU positions that have a significant impact on the committee and fee. If you would like to run for one of these elected positions, visit the ASOSU website for information on how to get on the ballot.

Curtis Hopkins was in a hurry.
He wasn't in a rush.
Hopkins took an inbounds pass with 2.2 seconds remaining in a 42-42 tie Friday night in the semifinals of the South Jersey Group 4 boys' basketball tournament.
He took two dribbles, rose up from beyond the top of the key, and splashed a three-point jumper that lifted Williamstown to a dramatic 45-42 victory over Lenape.
"I knew I had time," said Hopkins, a senior guard who scored eight of his 16 points in the fourth quarter. "I didn't want to rush. I knew I could take a dribble, make a move."

Being the most widely complained about disease the world over cutting across socio economic backgrounds, diabetes has become a household name these days. There are several causative factors that lead to an increase in blood glucose levels, which in turn in responsible for triggering diabetes.
However, did you know that this is one of those rare types of diseases, which can be completely controlled and even minimized if detected at the earliest? Eating the right type of foods and bringing about certain lifestyle change in your life are a couple of simple tricks you need to follow in order to keep this chronic disorder at bay.
A large number of people pay a visit to the doctor when the blood glucose levels have shot up at an alarming rate. Late diagnosis makes the disease condition more complicated. However, recognizing certain specific physical symptoms during the initial stages of the disease is extremely useful in helping you deal with the disease in a much better way.
Five Important Physical Symptoms of Diabetes
If you or your family member are vulnerable to diabetes attack, look out for the following physical symptoms:
In this condition, you could be suffering from extreme hunger. This occurs because the cells in your body do not get energy from glucose molecules. In healthy individuals, glucose molecules with the help of insulin are converted into energy and are supplied to cells and tissues all over your body.
When there is a decrease in insulin production or an increase in glucose molecule circulation without proper utilization, cells become devoid of energy, making them hungry. This will in turn make you hungry even if you have eaten a heavy meal.
Increased bouts of urination should never be neglected as nothing serious. An increased circulation of glucose molecules will make the blood highly concentrated.
In order to dilute this high saturation levels, kidneys will begin to draw out water molecules. This will automatically lead to increased urination.
If you feel extremely thirty all the time, you need to take notice of the signals that are being sent by your body to your brain. Extreme thirst is a direct result of excessive urination. The cells become parched and dehydrated at an alarmingly fast rate. This is one of the most easily observable physical symptoms that could indicate onset of diabetes.
Extreme Lethargy
If you are constantly feeling tired and worn out, its time you pay a visit to the doctor. Lethargy and tiredness is generally brushed aside as nothing serious or as a symptom of extreme workload and stress.
However, feeling tired could always indicate the presence of excess glucose molecules in your body. In diabetes, these molecules do not get converted into energy, in turn making you feel dull and lifeless.
If you experience frequent episodes of numbness where your hands and legs, especially in the extremities, become numb all of a sudden, you could be suffering from diabetes. Over time, an excess glucose circulation will damage the nerve extremities. This will lead to loss of sensation. A tingling sensation is also observed in some cases.
If you notice the aforementioned physical symptoms, paying a visit to the doctor at the earliest is highly recommended.

PHILADELPHIA - The civil case alleging that a Franciscan friar sexually abused students at a western Pennsylvania high school will go on despite the friar's suicide over the weekend, attorneys representing some of the accusers said Sunday.
Brother Stephen Baker, 62, was found dead of a self-inflicted knife wound at the St. Bernardine Monastery in Hollidaysburg on Saturday, according to Blair Township police. He had been named in recent legal settlements involving sexual abuse allegations Warren John F. Kennedy High School three decades ago, and the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese said it had received allegations of abuse at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown in the 1990s.
When Baker was the school's athletic trainer, 20 former students allege that he assaulted or molested students under the guise of providing therapeutic treatment or medical care for treatment of sports injuries, said Attorney Michael Parrish of Johnstown, who represents the accusers.
"Many of them did not realize until the stories began to break that what he was in fact doing to them was an assault or molestation, not actual therapeutic care," Parrish said of his clients, who ranged in age from 14 to 18 at the time. "He would treat these individuals for a hamstring injury and use that as an opportunity to physically grope them and do other things that constitutes a sexual assault under Pennsylvania law."
Attorney Richard Serbin said he represents about a dozen former students who told him they were typically instructed to strip and enter the whirlpool, and Baker would then give full body massages under the guise of stretching them, fondling them during that process.
"You could have any type of an injury, whether it was to the knee or the hand, and it would culminate in a full-body massage," he said.
Similar allegations were made this month by Cortland resident Michael Munno and 10 other former JFK students. They settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money with the Youngstown Diocese and the Third Order Regular Franciscans.
After Munno and another man announced the settlement, a half-dozen former JFK students made similar claims of abuse, according to Road to Recovery, a victims advocate group based in New Jersey.
''It's just a sad day,'' Michael Munno said on Saturday about Baker's death. ''Justice won't be served. I had so many thoughts in my head.''
Robert Hoatson, head of Road to Recovery, said he hopes the victims' healing can continue.
''They were in no way responsible for what happened in Pennsylvania," he said. "They must continue their healing.''
Parrish said he had contacted his clients about Baker's death, and many were shocked to hear about the suicide, while some were conflicted. Most needed time to digest the news, he said.
"This case from its inception has been a tragedy, and this is just another part of that tragedy," he said.
Serbin said he had decided to give his clients a few days to reflect on the development before contacting them, but he said he wouldn't be surprised if they want to discuss it and have "a lot of emotional reaction."
"Each individual has to reflect upon it and will deal in their own way with what happened," he said.
Parrish said Baker's death appeared to end the possibility of criminal charges, but he and Serbin said their civil cases would proceed. Parrish said he has only been investigating for 10 days and it was too early to talk about potential defendants.
"Certainly Brother Baker was a potential defendant, and anybody that had supervisory responsibility over Brother Baker and anyone who knew of Brother Baker's tendencies and put him in a position where he was able to do this," he said.
He later said that depending on what his investigation uncovers, potential defendants could include the school, the diocese and the Franciscan order. Serbin said there were also questions about the actions of the diocese in Youngstown given the allegations of earlier abuse at JFK.
"What did they know and what information did they provide to his order as well as the diocese of Altoona-Johnstown that allowed him to have physical access to children?" he asked.
Baker taught and coached at JFK from 1986 to the early 1990s and was at Bishop McCort from 1992 to 2000.
Parrish said he has been told that about 50 possible plaintiffs have contacted attorneys, and he expected that number to grow.
Bishop McCort hired an attorney to investigate after the allegations surfaced, and attorney Susan Williams said three former students had talked to her in detail about the alleged abuse.
In a brief statement released by the Youngstown Diocese, Bishop George Murry said, ''Let us continue to pray for all victims of abuse, for Brother Baker's family and the repose of his soul.''

Austrian designer Yvonne Diedrich created Eplica as a comprehensive series comprising three roman weights and one italic, all of which have an abundance of ligatured characters. All weights includes Small Caps fonts with additional old style numerals and ornaments, and the complete family provides an excellent tool for the most demanding of typographic requirements. Such has been the success of the Eplica series that Letraset have now added Medium and Bold Italic weights to the family. The style of Eplica has been influenced by the particular historical periods of serif typefaces. This is no more apparent than within its bilateral serif construction, in which one side reflects Old Face style and the other Modern Face style. The overall appearance, in which the letters have a strong vertical stress and pronounced contrast between lineweights, serves to evoke a clean cut style that is definitely 21st century. Yvonne Diedrich has used her extensive knowledge of all forms of roman typeface styles in order to fulfil her objective for Eplica which, in her words, "attempts to form a versatile symbiosis of classical elegance and high legibility with a contemporary calligraphic approach".

And then I got to thinking … I could make some buoys for next to nothing.
You see, in our new neighborhood people are always throwing out their old, unused junk the night before the trash runs. And I *might* be one of those people who stops and digs through other people's trash. Don't judge.
A few weeks go I was driving home and saw some perfectly beat up good 4 x 4's just sitting next to the trash in a neighbor's yard. So, I did what any smart, frugal, wood-working woman would do and I called my husband and told him to meet me at the top of the driveway in a couple of minutes. I got him to help me go rescue my new 4 x 4's. 🙂 (Note: The neighbor was outside and we did ask before the took the wood.)
I didn't really know what I would use them to make, and for the record, my hubby thinks I'm crazy. But turns out they make beautiful wooden buoys.
See what I mean?
How to go from this … to this …
First I cut the 4 x 4 into different sizes and cut the sides of the tops at an angle using my miter saw. A circular saw would have been much easier, but I don't have one … yet. I didn't measure the angled tops, I just eyeballed it and cut.
Then I drilled holes through the tops.
I painted them.
And then I printed numbers on my computer and traced them on to the buoys. I then just painted the numbers directly on to the buoys. I sanded them to make them look a little weathered, and then I added the sisal rope through the holes in the top. (You can find this rope at any home improvement store. I found mine at Lowe's.)
And there you have it! You're very own weathered beach buoys. And mine cost a total of $11 instead of $60 at Pottery Barn. I just bought the pink paint and the rope, and there is plenty of rope left for other DIY projects. I had all of the other paint leftover from painting the house or crafts.
Paint colors:
Pink – Hint of Cherry by Valspar
Light turquoise – Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore
Darker turquoise on the large buoy – Stratton Blue by Benjamin Moore
Yellow – Butter from Restoration Hardware
Brown – some brown craft paint I have laying around the house
What do you think of my homemade buoys?
{These buoys made an appearance in my summer, lake-themed mantel. Check it out HERE!)

Wimbledon Packages For Sale
Almost anyone would be thrilled to get a chance to be a spectator during the Wimbledon 2008 Matches, and to be a part of that, you may want to get Wimbledon Packages for yourself. But what are Wimbledon Packages anyway
Wimbledon Packages are a package deal for those who want more than just a ticket for the Wimbledon 2008 Matches to be arranged for them by the event organizer. The Wimbledon Packages may include arrangements for board and lodging for the day or days of the matches that you plan to attend, the mandatory ticket for a seat at a certain Wimbledon court and particular match, lounge passes, and other add-ons that aim to sweeten the deal for those clamoring to get a ticket to Wimbledon as a spectator.
Be forewarned though that Wimbledon Packages are very pricey, because they are often put together for Wimbledon fans who want the best deal they can get for this very prestigious tennis tourney. Pretty expensive but if you really want a good seat, then getting a Wimbledon ticket this way will be very convenient for you – especially since at such prices many may have to content themselves with simply watching the matches on TV or cable.
Sometimes, Wimbledon Packages may be a combo ticket package for the Semi Finals and Finals matches – these are the crème de la crème of the Wimbledon Packages. If you like to sit in the lap of luxury while you enjoy Wimbledon matches, then such Wimbledon Packages might be just for you. The popularity of the Wimbledon Matches is on the increase every year – it is estimated that every year around 450,000 spectators attend the matches and serve as the willing audience for the thrills, chills, tantrums, tirades, losses and triumphs of Wimbledon players from all over. If you have to attend at least one major tennis tournament this 2008, then why not Wimbledon
The 2008 Wimbledon Matches will last only 13 days so if you really want to take advantage of this opportunity to get the best ticket you can possibly get for these tennis matches, then maybe you should inquire already about the Wimbledon Packages this early. The early bird usually gets the best worm in the house, after all.

Berry Tramel on defense: "And there's no reason for it. The only major rotational differences from last season are Steven Adams playing backup center for Hasheem Thabeet, and Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones taking the minutes that went to Kevin Martin. Nothing there screams defensive alarm. It seems clear that the Thunder is coming out of the gate slow in terms of commitment to defense and intensity. It hasn't bitten the Thunder much. But over a course of a season, it most definitely will."
Steve Kerr: "Well I really like Steven Adams. I think he's going to be a big factor for their team. He's big and athletic and you can run a little offense through him because he's a good passer. And I think Reggie Jackson has made some strides, too. He's playing with a lot of confidence. I see Perry Jones getting a little bit of time. But I think Lamb is kind of the big question mark and he's under the spotlight this year because of the Kevin Martin departure. So I'm anxious to see him."
Chris Ryan of Grantland on the halfcourt shots: "Still, I have to ask, what is going on in OKC?! I asked native Oklahoman and Grantlander Brian Phillips, and he suggested a secret gym somewhere in Enid, Oklahoma, financed by a meth gang, where these people are just getting up 10,000 shots a day. It's basically a variation on the Kobe System. Whatever the reason, I would probably short the stock on MidFirst Bank. I'm not Jim Cramer or anything, but I don't see how a financial institution can stay solvent if it keeps having to pay out for these half-court shots. Because that's what caused the financial crisis. I should know, I watched that episode of Frontline."
The Thunder are one of the most expensive teams in the league for a family of four to attend a game.
Eric Maynor has fallen out of the Wizards' rotation.
Trey Kerby of NBA.com on jersey-gate: "See? He's a nice guy. You don't have to take the jersey off, you just probably should. Totally different. But I guess it just goes to show you — it's team jerseys or no jerseys when it comes to front row seats at a Thunder game. And while that might seem a little harsh, just remember that you probably still get a free t-shirt out of the deal, so you're actually coming out on top shirts-wise. And that's #smart"

God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
- Ecclesiastes 7:29
Not often, but too often, a story is reported that is a jolting reminder of the depths of depravity human beings are capable of reaching.
Such a story is that of a woman and two codefendants alleged to have imprisoned four mentally challenged adults in a fetid hole within a basement so they could steal their victims' monthly Social Security disability checks.
