Jeffrey has been a client of mine for seven years and in that time I have consulted with him on a variety of business and personal issues. I also have witnessed him assisting a number of other people who come into contact with me and my business. He exercises good judgment; provides sound advice and I would recommend him to a family member or friend without hesitation.

I waited almost 3 years for a SSD. Hearing, and he sends me in with a lawyer with 2 years experience. The lawyer said all but 2 words at the hearing, and I was denied benefits in less then a month. .
Thanks for wasting my time...

I grew up in Buffalo NY.
I was a child of the 50's and I attended all public schools.
I went to School #86 on St Lawrence Ave.
I attended Amherst Junior HS for 7th grade.
School #66 on Parkside Ave, for 8th grade and then to Bennett HS.
I did better than average in school, but studies never came easy.
The Buffalo public school system did a good job preparing me for college.
My family belonged to Temple Beth David on Starin Ave. and thats where I had my Bar Mitzvah when I was 13 years old. Today I am a member of Temple Beth Zion in Buffalo, NY.
Looking back, its funny what events come to mind.
I recall when Russia launched the sputnik. I remember the air aid drills when we were told if we sat quietly under our desks we would be ok in the event of a nuclear attack.
At school #86 we all gathered in the school auditorium to watch John Glenn's launch into space.
I also recall that terrible day when John Kennedy was killed in Dallas
My very first job was selling refreshments at the Buffalo zoo. I was 12 years old at the time. I recall riding my bike to work. If it rained there was no work and I would have to ride home with no pay.
My second job was when I was 13 or 14. I worked part time packing hot dog and hamburger rolls at Kaufman's Bakery. Kaufman's was owned by the Freedman and Rosenberg families. I always worked part time at the bakery and full time during the summer. When I was 16 years old I made deliveries for the bakery using a station wagon or a bakery truck.
I never made it to the Woodstock Music Festival in 1967 . I was working at the bakery and couldn't take off. However, a few weeks before Woodstock, the Atlantic City Rock Festival took place. Many of the Woodstock performers played that earlier concert. And I enjoyed the Atlantic City concert.
When I was 18 years old I went off to college and studied political science and international relations at the American University in Washington DC. Part of my college studies included a series of internships working for a Congressman, The DC Probation Dept. and for Neighborhood Legal Services.
I graduated from A.U. in 1972 and started law school in 1973 at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass.
I decided to go to law school because I wanted to do something that would enable me to help others.
In 1976 I graduated from law school and in 1977 I passed the NYS bar exam.
The Buffalo, NY law firm, Gannon and Gannon hired me as an associate in 1977. The firm was a true general practice. I was able to work on a wide variety of cases with terrific lawyers. The firm was a great place to work. A terrific place to learn the practice of law.
In 1977 I was appointed as a Trustee at the Bankruptcy in Buffalo NY. I served as a Trustee for 7-8 years. This position allowed me to learn everything about bankruptcy law.
In April 1, 1980 I formed my own law firm, Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys at Law.
In August 1981 I married the love of my life, Barbara Hamilton.
Initially I had a general practice firm. We handled a wide variety of civil and criminal matters. As time went on, my firm began to concentrate on bankruptcy, social security disability and personal injury law. We now also handle cases involving creditor harrassment under FDCPA, VA Disability and Long Term Disability Claims.

Yorkshire Bank is excited to announce its 'Giving Bat to You' campaign which gives cricket fans the chance to win a limited edition Gray-Nicolls cricket bat this summer.
The new title sponsor of the ECB's domestic 40-over competition has formed a partnership with one of the world's leading cricket manufacturers to give away 150 cricket bats between May 3 and September 21.
Yorkshire Bank will give away a Gray-Nicolls cricket bat every day throughout the Yorkshire Bank 40 season via its Facebook page. To be in with a chance of winning one of their top of the range bats, all you need to do is upload a photograph that illustrates what cricket means to you to the 'Giving Bat to You' campaign app on the Yorkshire Bank Cricket Facebook page.
It could be a photograph of you playing, celebrating with your team-mates, or a shot with your favourite player of all-time. If it shows us why you love cricket, then we want to see it!
"Yorkshire Bank's 'Giving Bat to You' campaign rewards fans for supporting cricket and aims to get more people picking up a bat and playing the sport in their communities this summer," said Alec Stewart, England's most-capped Test cricketer and Yorkshire Bank Cricket ambassador.
"As part of the campaign, Alastair Cook, Paul Collingwood and I will be hosting batting masterclasses across the country and helping the Bank demonstrate their care and support for local cricket."
Nick Wilton, brand manager at Gray-Nicolls, said: "Gray-Nicolls are excited to be part of such an excellent campaign. It's going to be a huge summer for cricket and I'm sure 'giving bat to cricket' will catch the eye of every cricket fan and player in England."
Cricket fans will also be able to win tickets to watch their favourite team in the Yorkshire Bank 40 competition.

I'm from Spokane! I went to Shadle Park High School. Go Highlanders!
I partly mean I dont know which school. But there is a part of me that doesnt want to go. Its a small part though.
You are only 15, you have time to ponder about your future , maybe you will be Karen Kwan's coaching assistant, or even Michelle Kwan's assistant :DOriginally posted by skatepixie
But there is a part of me that doesnt want to go.
BTW, pixie, never say never, the college gods, and skating gods work in mysterious ways.

Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with a move among many college age kids to work for a year or two after high school and then go on to college. As I said in my previous post, my first degree came from MassArt -- that's a school where only those who really want to learn go. At BU, I mainly took evening course -- same as MassArt, that's for people who really know what they want. However, when I took a couple of day classes at BU I was positively shocked -- many of those kids only went to college because their parents told them to either go there or get a job! They could see no connection between what they were doing and their futures, and only tried to get by enough to stay there. That, I think is not a good attitude for higher education.
I graduated from Marshall University in Huntington, WV with two degrees. My B.A. is in International Relations and my M.A. is in Political Science. If I had it to do over, then I'm certain that I would change my major.
Edited for mistakes.
Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario. BA in psychology.
thing is, my desire to learn isnt there. I only want to go because of money and because thats what you are supposted to do.
Lynn, why would you change your major if you had to do it all over again? Just curious. Is your current job related to your degrees?
At first, my degrees did not seem to be of much use. I was planning to go to law school and then decided against it. I was accepted to a doctoral program, but I could not afford it at the time. Now, they are proving useful in helping me to get promotions. I work for Uncle Sam. The pay isn't great, but the benefits package is excellent and I've started to reap some rewards after several years of service.
When I was a college student, there was a school on my campus for autistic children. I used to go by there quite often. I frequently considered changing my major to psychology, so that I could work with them.
I went to University of Vermont (UVM). I had a double major in Latin and Physics, MS in Solid State Physics. I am probably the only person ever to use a Latin TA to pay for my Physics/math courses. Minors in Ancient Greek and Math.
So what did I do at work mostly? Programming. Go Figure.
Doris, here is something that I always wanted to know. Is ancient Greek about the same as modern Greek, or is it much different? Would a twenty-first century Greek citizen be able to pick up Plato in the original and read it, or would it be like an English-speaking person trying to read Beowulf?
I am curious about this because when the Rosetta tone was discovered, and one of the languages was Greek, this immediately broke the code of Egypian hieroglyphics. So people must have had no problem with the Greek. Or was it just professional scholars who could read it by that time.
Also, question number two How do we know how Latin (I mean the Latin of Julius Caesar) was pronounced 2000 years ago? It is somewhat different from "Church Latin," which is the only living representative of the language. Was there a time in the past where the two versions split or drifted apart, and if so, how do we know what the old version sounded like?
Very curious about these things.
To SkatePixie: There are a million interesting things to learn about. Maybe you are not curious about Greek and Latin. But what about art, or music, or history, or literature, or psychology, or chemistry, or astronomy? Plan for college. You will find things there that you never dreamed of (Horatio)!
OK, I'm off my soapbox now.
I think for the first couple of years you can just take general courses and then eventually maybe you will think of what you love to do. They say find out what you really like to do and try to think of ways to make money doing it.
Grgranny, DEFINITELY!
Thing is, I know what I want to do.If I just want to learn on the side, I dont need to live in a dorm, take tests, take a bunch of general classes, write papers, exc. to enjoy learning. Which is why I most likely wont get a degree...
I'm going to go to Moorpark College for a year to get the gen. ed. requirements out of the way and am shooting high for UCLA or UC Berkeley with a major in archaeology or anthropology. Going to minor in classics, probably; or Russian!
I attended Rochester Institute of Technology - earned a BS in Computer Science with a minor in business. If I had to do it over, I should have majored in Business with a concentration in Information Technology. Majoring in CS is more for techie's who want to work for IBM or Microsoft, etc. I'm better at the organizational aspects and have always worked in a business environment (as opposed to R&D).
SKATEPIXIE: You are right - learning is a life long experience and all of it does not occur in a classroom - just don't think that college is an unneccessary evil. Since you haven't said what you want to do, can't offer much advice. I know many people who dropped out of college or never went to college who regret it. Some have even decided to earn their degrees years later when it is much harder to juggle work and family. Also, the best part of college was living with a lot of strangers. You meet all different kinds of people living in the dorms and it isn't just about parties. It's a nice way of transitioning from parents to the real world. It was definitely an experience I do not regret. I realize college isn't for everyone; I have many friends who are successful without degrees, too. Just try to be open minded about it. Also, many employers view a degree as a sign of accomplishment since it usually takes hard work to earn it.

If you're a serious gamer, these are exciting days. If you're not a serious gamer, you can be excused for wondering what the fuss is all about.
After a longer-than-usual product cycle, Microsoft and Sony have finally released new game machines. Their Xbox One and PlayStation 4, respectively, are much more powerful than their predecessors, offer some cool new features and, best of all, promise some great new game experiences.
But many of the consoles' new features are simply refinements of features already present on their predecessors. Unlike previous consoles, they don't offer much that's dramatically new or different. And, as is always the case with new game machines, they cost a lot of money and currently have few games available for them.
So, if you're not a serious gamer with more than $400 to burn, you're better off waiting.
The new consoles have been a long time coming. It has been seven years since Sony launched the PlayStation 3 and eight since Microsoft launched its Xbox 360.
As you might expect, the innards of the new machines got major upgrades. Both feature speedy new processors, super-powerful graphics chips, much more memory than their predecessors, and 500-gigabyte hard drives for storing games and game data. Both devices offer some new capabilities. The Xbox One can be used to watch live TV from a pay-TV service in place of a cable box. While the Xbox 360 could be used to watch TV from AT&T's Uverse service, the Xbox One can work with a wide range of TV providers. At least it's supposed to. In my brief test of the Xbox One, I couldn't get the feature to work.
Both consoles allow users to interact with them using their tablets, smartphones or other devices as second screens. Users can use those screens as controllers for the games or as remote controls to switch channels or fast-forward movies. Users who own both a PlayStation 4 and a PlayStation Vita handheld system will be able to play games on the Vita that are streamed from the PlayStation 4.
And both consoles promise to make it easier for users to take videos of their gameplay and instantly upload them to game video site Twitch. While that feature has been delayed on the Xbox One until next year, gamers will be able to use a feature called "snap" to watch game videos from Twitch as they are playing a particular game. That feature could be a big help for users stuck on a particular level or sequence.
Of course, the big thing for gamers is the games themselves. In this, Microsoft appears to have an early edge, with a greater number of games available at launch and a larger number of top-tier games, including exclusives such as Dead Rising 3.
To conclude, the new consoles don't seem as compelling as their predecessors. The PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 were the first machines to display high-definition games, and the PlayStation 3 was the first console with a built-in Blu-ray player. Nintendo's Wii pioneered and popularized motion-controlled gaming, and Microsoft's Kinect for the Xbox 360 introduced controllerless gaming. The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, by contrast, don't seem to offer anything on that level of innovation.

NASA: Hotter Summers Since 1980 Caused by Global Warming
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
The past 30 years has seen more "hot" (orange), "very hot" (red) and "extremely hot" (brown) summers, compared to a base period defined in this study from 1951 to 1980
(Source: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio)
Hotter summers have become the norm from 1980 to present compared to 1951 to 1980 (the base period)
NASA researchers have claimed to find new evidence for everyone's favorite topic:
global warming
James Hansen, study leader from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), as well as GISS researchers Makiko Sato and Reto Ruedy, have concluded that summer heat waves (mainly in the U.S. Midwest) have become the norm over the last 30 years compared to a base period 30 years before 1980 -- and it's because of global warming.
Their study works like this: the team collected mean summer temperatures from 1951 to 1980. This was considered the base period for the study. They then looked at the surface temperature data from the last 30 years (1980 until now) to determine whether
extreme heat events
were increasing.
From there, the team wanted to see how much heating and cooling occurred in both time periods. To do this, they used a bell curve, which is a common tool that places the middle ground at the top of the bell (for instance, if this were a grading curve, a "C" would be at the top while the next tier down on each side would be a "B" and a "D," and the bottom of the bell would be an "A" and an "F). In this case, the top of the bell would be mean temperature, the next tier down would be "cold" on one side and "hot" on the other, then "very cold" and "extremely cold" on one side moving down while "very hot" and "extremely hot" are moving down the bell on the other side.
Researchers then applied mean temperatures from 1980 until present, and found that 1980s, 1990s and 2000s fell more to the hot side than cold. The curve widened and flattened as well, which means there was a broader range of variability. This is important because Hansen once predicted that global warming's connection to extreme events would become more apparent in the decades from 1980 to present, but natural variability can play a role too and actually mask the trend. It was important to distinguish the two.
This wider curve created the new "extremely hot" category, which was barely there in the base period. However, hot has become considered normal in the last 30 years. To be more specific, 75 percent of land area on Earth had "hot" summers in the last decade alone, where only 33 percent had "hot" summers from 1951 to 1980 total.
According to the researchers, an "extremely hot" summer is considered a mean summer temperature that is experienced by less than one percent of Earth's land area during the base period. But since 2006 alone, approximately 10 percent of land area across the Northern Hemisphere had a summer like this.
"This summer, people are seeing extreme heat and agricultural impacts," said Hansen. "We're asserting that this is casually
connected to global warming
, and in this paper, we present the scientific evidence for that."
The study noted "extremely hot" summers in other areas besides just the U.S. Midwest, like Texas, Mexico and Oklahoma in 2011 and Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Middle East in 2010.
This study was published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Science Daily

RE: Is someone being paid to attack global warming articles on the internet?
Thanks Amos for taking the time to rebut the skeptics. I've been reading this site for many years, and DT is unusual in being a tech website where the commenters are fairly right-wing. Usually tech sites are populated with more moderate/left wing types, which reflects the higher education of such people. So while there are astroturf organizations that pay people to do such work, and some of them may be posting here, I don't think that most of them are. I think it's just the culture of this site to have a strong right-wing contingent.
I used to fight this battle, but it takes a lot of time and energy, and betw work and family, I've not been able to. Also, despite providing data based arguments, links, and analysis, the naysayers are so wedded to their ideas that it's like trying to convince a Muslim that God does not exist. No matter what evidence you introduce it will be dismissed as a conspiracy or incomplete or made up or whatever excuse they can gin up to discredit the evidence as unreliable or untrue.
I think in the end, many people just don't want to believe the life they grew up with and were taught was the right way to live is destroying the very foundation of that life. And when the effects do come to pass, they'll still deny its anthropomorphic origins and claim it was a natural event that was unavoidable. It doesn't help that the press which could help elucidate the truth is owned by megacorporations who have a vested interest in cheap energy and few regulations.
Good luck, and keep fighting!

We hope you will allow us the opportunity to express to the people of Amarillo our deepest and sincere appreciation for the work of the officers of the Amarillo Police Department and the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit in apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of the first-ever fatal drive-by shooting in our community.
We understand that in a community the size of Amarillo that murders are likely to be more common than they are in our small town.
But unlike some agencies in larger urban areas from whom we have had occasion to request assistance in the past, the Amarillo Police Department did not treat our request as an unwelcome burden. The department went above and beyond the call of duty, working long hours during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend this past year and producing for us not only the perpetrators, but critical evidence, including an interview of the shooter, who pleaded guilty to murder and three other felonies and received a 67-year prison sentence, without a trial.
We couldn't have done it without them. They do honor to the badges they wear and the people of Amarillo are lucky to have them.

Meg Loncharic: Dinner supports children in need
With alarming headlines about rising reports of child abuse in Erie and Crawford counties, it's good to know that Erie has a safe haven for victims.
It's a child-friendly facility in which interviews can take place.
Since the Children's Advocacy Center of Erie County Inc., a nonprofit organization, opened in June 2001, workers have logged countless hours in assisting children in need.
Executive director Michael Gaines, assisted by Michele Agnello-Peterson and April Rehberg, and local police and court officials are committed to careful handling of innocent victims.
"A guiding principle is to decrease the amount of trauma to child victims during the course of an investigation," Gaines said. "We also make sure they receive the services they need to recover."
The funds raised at the agency's annual dinner, which took place May 18 at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church social hall, 4376 West Lake Road, go a long way toward making all this possible in Erie County.
The event is organized by a hardworking host committee that assists in meal preparation and solicits donations for the auctions. Attended annually by 200 supporters and friends of the center, the event raises almost $75,000 every year.
Board member Dennis Ranalli and his wife, Mary, are assisted by a committee of friends, including Dr. Gary and Barbara Esper, Dr. William and Susie Esper, and Dr. Howard and Jane Levin. They donate their time and talents year after year in support of the fundraiser.
The event took on a "Springtime in Greece" theme with homemade Greek appetizers followed by a gourmet Greek feast.
The evening also included silent and live auctions, featuring 10 high-end packages, including a condo stay in Naples, Fla., a trip to Costa Rica, tickets to a Pittsburgh Steelers game and dinner for eight prepared by Three Sisters Catering.
Dr. Mark and Julie Minichelli came away with an authentic Greek dinner for eight donated by Maria Nacopoulos.
"Many of the same people attend the event every year, and they seem to enjoy this small, personal venue along with the homemade food we prepare," Dennis Ranalli said.

The Hollidaysburg Area YMCA's July 4 Race has long been an established community tradition.
Today, that tradition hits a milestone.
The 40th edition of the holiday race unfolds this morning, with the start of the 15K men's and women's races, the 5K men's and women's races, and the two-mile walk set to start at 8 a.m. on 12th Avenue, near the Mishler Theater.
The finish line for each event is located on 11th Avenue, near the Heritage Plaza.
The popularity of the July 4 races has been growing with time, according to Hollidaysburg Area YMCA Executive Director Tom Kopriva.
"The first year was 1973 [when the race was sponsored by the Altoona Area YMCA], and this will be the 40th year for the race,'' Kopriva said. "We believe it's the oldest race in the area, and last year, we eclipsed 1,000 participants for all the events. We expect to go over 1,000 again this year. This is a really big race.''
A.J. Kelly, 32, of Altoona, has competed in the 15K men's race 11 times since 2000, and he has won the event six times, including last year.
"It's a great race,'' Kelly said. "I look forward to doing it every year. It's a good community event.''
Familiarity with the 15K course is an asset for Kelly.
"I'm expecting good competition, but I'm still confident,'' he said. "I'm definitely familiar with the course, and I think that helps. Plus, living here the entire year-around, I do parts of my training on the course.''
Two years ago, the name of the Hollidaysburg Area YMCA July 4 Race was changed to the Angie Gioiosa Memorial Race. Gioiosa, a local distance runner and member of the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame, left an indelible mark on the area's running community.
Gioiosa, who passed away in 2011, was one of a small group of people who were instrumental in pitching the idea for the July 4 race to members of the Altoona Area YMCA and getting the first race off the ground back in 1973. The Hollidaysburg Area YMCA took over sponsorship of the race in 1993, after the Altoona Area YMCA had closed its doors.
"Angie, Jack Foreman, and Jack's son, John, were founders of this race,'' Kopriva said. "After Angie passed away a couple years ago, we felt that it was fitting to attach his name to this race because he was a running icon in Blair County.''
Along with the 15K and 5K races and two-mile walk, the July 4 races will again include what are called short Lollipop Races for children ages 3-7. The same-day race registration fee for the 15K, 5K and two-mile events today is $30, while there is no fee for the Lollipop Races, and the youngsters will be awarded treat bags at the conclusion of the event.
That's just another part of the fabulous community tradition of the holiday event.
"We've sort of made the July 4 Race the keystone of our Hollidaysburg YMCA Community Challenge Wellness Series of eight races,'' Kopriva said. "I think the running community in this area has grown, and this Wellness Series gives people a reason to keep on training.''

What are/is beta-blockers?
Answer: Beta blockers, also called beta-adrenergic blocking agents, treat a variety of conditions, such as big blood pressure, glaucoma and migraines. Find out more about this class of medication.
Beta blockers reduce blood pressure. Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also prearranged as adrenaline. As a result, the heart beats more slowly and with smaller number force, thereby reducing blood pressure. Beta blockers also help blood vessels relax and overt up to improve blood flow.
Beta blockers (sometimes written as β-blocker) are a class of drugs used for various indications, but extremely for the management of cardiac arrhythmias and cardioprotection after myocardial infarction. Whilst once first-line treatment for hypertension, their role was downgraded contained by June 2006 in the United Kingdom to fourth-line as they did not perform as very well as other drugs, particularly in the elderly next to erectile dysfunction and anal seepage, and there is increasing evidence that the most frequently used beta-blockers especially in combination near thiazide-type diuretics carry an unacceptable risk of provoking type 2 diabetes.[1] However, Forest Laboratories and Mylan Inc. announced on December 18, 2007 the innovative beta blocker Bystolic was approved by the FDA for treatment of hypertension. Beta blockers are a class of drugs that block beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent contained by the "sympathetic" portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system which controls many key organs and tissues in the body including the heart, blood vessels, and nouns passages in the lung.
By blocking the doings of the involuntary nervous system on the heart, beta blockers relieve stress on the heart. They slow the heart beat and lessen the force near which the heart muscle contracts. They also reduce the force with which muscles surrounding blood vessel contract surrounded by the heart, brain, and throughout the body. This reduces the pressure in the blood vessel and/or increases the flow of blood.
Beta blockers can serve to treat abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias). They are used specifically to prevent abnormally express heart rates (tachycardias) or irregular heart rhythms such as premature ventricular beats.
Beta blockers reduce the workload of the heart and thereby the constraint of the heart muscle for oxygen. Since the chest pain of angina pectoris occurs when the oxygen emergency of the heart exceeds the supply, beta blockers can be useful in treating angina by reducing the involve of the heart for oxygen. They also have become an important drug contained by improving survival after a person have had a heart attack.
Thanks to their effect on blood vessels, beta blockers can lower the blood pressure and be of importance in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
Other uses for beta blockers include the prevention of migraine headaches, stage fright (social phobia), and the treatment of guaranteed types of tremors (familial or hereditary essential tremors).
The beta blockers (with brand names) include:
acebutolol (Sectral),
bisoprolol (Zebeta),
metoprolol (Lopressor, Lopressor LA, Toprol XL),
nadolol (Corgard),
timolol (Blocadren) and
nebivolol (Bystolic).
Beta blockers are also available in combination beside a diuretic [for example, bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide (Ziac)].
Beta blockers reduce the pressure within the eye (the intraocular pressure), probably by reducing the production of the solution (aqueous humor) within the eye and so are used to lessen the risk of damage to the optic fortitude and loss of vision in glaucoma. Beta blocker preparations for this purpose include:
timolol ophthalmic solution (Timoptic), and
betaxolol hydrochloride (Betoptic, Betoptic S)..
I be prescribed Toporol. It works like a charm. I tried changing to a calcium blocker and my blood pressure go right back up. I guess it all depends on the problem. Good luck!

The Land Ethic Leaders Program
In A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold set forth his most enduring ideal: the "land ethic," a moral responsibility of humans to care for people and the land, and strengthen the connections between them. This ideal is extremely relevant in today's society, but it can be difficult to define, discuss, and implement.
To begin this monumental task, we need leaders who are deeply committed to rolling up their sleeves and building a land ethic at the grassroots level in communities everywhere. This kind of leadership requires an understanding of both the things that are hard, and the things that are hopeful about how we work to inspire and build a land ethic with others.
During the program, you will engage in meaningful discussions about the challenges to developing an environmental ethic, and the points of connection that may provide common ground for the way forward.
What is the Land Ethic Leaders?
The two-day Land Ethic Leaders program equips participants with tools to connect wider audiences to Leopold's land ethic, and to deepen their own understanding of and engagement with this idea through dialog about the meaning and value of conservation.
Our "Observe, Reflect, Participate" framework is based in Leopold's own method of building a land ethic with his family and students. That is, participants explore and deepen their land ethic during the program by observing the outdoors, participating in an environmental service project, discussing important conservation issues, and reflecting both on their learning in the training and what they feel called next to do.
Attendees come away with new relationships, tools, ideas, and facilitation skills for continuing to develop and articulate their own land ethic, bringing their values and ideas into action, and inspiring others back home to do the same.
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in building community and connection around conservation issues is welcome. Participants include natural resources professionals, conservation leaders, students, environmental educators, and engaged citizens.
What are the benefits?
1. By taking part in discussions about the big questions around conservation, we'll collectively explore the challenges and opportunities to developing and building an environmental ethic. Discussions are designed to help you come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of your own views as well as those that differ, a critical skill for engaging with your community back home.
2. Attendees also have a chance to co-lead discussions. In planning and leading your discussion, you will also build on listening and facilitation skills, which are also crucial components to leadership of any kind.
3. The "Observe, Participate, Reflect" model provides a framework to help you think about your approach to any challenge in a new and open way. The program will recharge you by building clarity, commitment and community around environmental values to help carry you forward in your work. It also gives you a set of tools to help spark dialogue about the land ethic in your community, including our EMMY® award-winning Green Fire documentary about Aldo Leopold (external link) and much more.
Schedule and meals:
A detailed agenda will be sent to participants prior to the program, but the rough agenda for all Land Ethic Leaders programs is as follows:
You must be able to attend the full two-day training. Partial attendance (e.g., one day only) is not possible.
Registration Fees:
The cost for the two-day Land Ethic Leaders workshop is $200. This includes most of your meals during the program and program materials, including a copy of the Green Fire film licensed for public screening (a $350 value). Travel and lodging is on your own. We have arrangements with a very affordable local hotel in Baraboo, and there are also great camping options nearby as well.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - William R. "Bill" Clark has been named the new executive director of the Region 9 Planning and Development Council.
He was unanimously approved at the council's meeting Monday in Berkeley Springs.
Clark is the executive director of the Morgan County Economic Development Authority and has served on the board of Region 9 for several years.
Article Photos
He has submitted his resignation from the Region 9 board effective Dec. 9, when he will officially become executive director of the council.
His starting salary will be $65,000. After six months, he will undergo a review and his salary could be increased at that time.
Clark replaces Carol Goolsby, who stepped down as executive director in late August.
Jennifer O'Brien, the council's grants and office coordinator, was named acting director while a search for a new director was underway.
Jefferson County Commissioner Patsy Noland is chair of the Region 9 personnel committee, which conducted interviews for the job.
She said Monday that the committee received 13 resumes from applicants for the position.
Four of them were interviewed twice and the committee unanimously found that Clark was the best applicant for the job.
"It's a different kind of frying pan," Clark joked after Monday's meeting.
He has been involved in Morgan County government for 28 years, including county planner, administrator and EDA director.
"I want to talk with other regional councils to see what they're doing right," Clark said. "And meet with the folks in Berkeley and Jefferson counties to get to know them better."
There are eight other regional councils across West Virginia. Region 9 encompasses Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties.
Clark said he wants to address the lower income levels in the region, especially in Berkeley and Morgan counties, which are below the state average.
"We need to put our arms around education and work force development to increase income levels," he said.
"There are some great institutions in the Eastern Panhandle."
Clark also in very interested in expanding broadband access regionally, he said.
Guy Avey, the council's treasurer commended O'Brien and the rest of the Region 9 staff for their efforts, while the council looked for a new director.
"The staff is full of incredible talent," Clark said.
Morgan County Commissioner Stacy Dugan, a Region 9 Council member, said Monday that the commission and EDA board have not decided yet how to fill the pending vacancy at the EDA's director position.
The council comprises both elected and appointed representatives from Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties and the municipalities of Berkeley Springs (Bath), Bolivar, Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Hedgesville, Martinsburg, Paw Paw, Ranson and Shepherdstown, according to its website.
Region 9 was formed by the Regional Planning and Development Act of 1971.
The regional councils assist local governments in resolving their common problems; engage in areawide comprehensive and functional planning; identify, apply for and administer certain federal and state grants; and provide a regional focus in regard to multiple programs undertaken on an areawide basis, according to the website.
The councils are funded through federal, state and local contributions.

Mini driver Nasser Al Attiyah of Qatar competes during Stage 9 of the Dakar Rally 2014 between Calama and Iquique, Chile, yesterday. Al Attiyah earlier won the eighth stage ahead of 11-time winner Stephane Peterhansel.
CALAMA, Chile: Qatari driver Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah, in a Mini, took the honours in the Dakar Rally's eighth stage which crossed through the Andes from Bolivia into Chile yesterday ahead of 11-time winner Stephane Peterhansel.
Carlos Sainz, winner of stages four and seven, took third in the 302km timed run from the Bolivian town of Uyuni to Calama.
Spanish driver Nani Roma was sixth and he retains a 24 minute advantage over Peterhansel with South African Giniel De Villiers placed third.
Al Attiyah, who won the race in 2011, is in fifth overall, 1hr 5min adrift, the bulk of that deficit coming from a one hour penalty he picked up for missing a waypoint on last week's fifth stage.
"I'm still a bit disappointed about the penalty," said Al Attiyah, who won a bronze medal in the men's skeet shooting at the 2012 London Olympics.
"But now we will try to push and make a really better time every day."
Peterhansel said he'd found it difficult to keep tabs during the stage with Al Attiyah and Sainz.
"That said, in the end it's not such a bad result at all, because Nani Roma had two punctures so we've gained some time back on him and have put some pressure on him," he added.
"It's never easy to be in the lead, I know all about it, and being in front for Nani is an extra bit of pressure. Behind him, we have nothing to lose..."
In the motorbike section France's Cyril Despres, a five time winner of the toughest challenge in motorsport, emerged the winner as the 2014 edition paid its first visit to Chile after stages in Argentina and Bolivia.
He was followed across the line by Spanish pair Joan Barreda and Marc Coma. Despite claiming this 499km stage the Yamaha rider and defending champion is still way off the pace in the overall standings, almost two and a half hours behind Coma.
Today's ninth stage takes the 2014 Dakar caravanserai from Calama across 150 kilometres of Chile's Atacama desert with a finish in Iquique. REUTERS

Town removing asbestos from schoolSeptember 07,2013WEATHERSFIELD Officials say about two-thirds of asbestos and other hazardous materials have been removed from an old school complex in Vermont.
Multiple wings in the old Weathersfield Elementary School in Perkinsville on Route 106 have been cleared of asbestos.

class program errors
hey guys I need some help with my program. I keep getting multiple errors and I can't figure them out. The main problem is my professor wrote the skeleton and wrote some ridiculous things. At line 10, I get multiple errors for incomplete brackets and I don't understand why. I don't know if copying and pasting the skeleton from word caused any compiling errors. The other errors are because I messed up my class implementation and I can't figure out whats wrong. Also I think I missed a bracket causing a fatal error if anybody sees the problem I would appreciate the help otherwise I can just check to make sure all the brackets are completed myself. I put :p where the compiler takes me when I hit the error.
#include <iostream>
Re: class program errors
I realized that MAXITEM shouldn't have a semicolon after it.
Re: class program errors
firstly remove the semicolon from "#define maxiten 10 " then run the program and tell me that how many errors he give mention each error or paste error. Then may be we can help you.

The New York Jets have reportedly come to terms with former Denver Bronco, Eric Decker. Decker visited with Gang Green on Wednesday in Florham Park, eventually deciding to stay. The 27-year old receiver was drafted in the third round out of the University of Minnesota by the Broncos in 2010. Since joining the Broncos, he has recorded 222 catches, 3,070 yards, and 33 touchdowns. Having increased his level of play each year has led him to back-to-back 1,000 yard and 10-plus touchdown seasons. Despite this success being linked to Peyton Manning, Decker's progression as a No.1 receiver is a tribute to his excellent receiving abilities.
The newly acquired receiver will be replacing Santonio Holmes as the team's top receiver. His 6-foot-3 215 pound frame is a solid target for second year quarterback Geno Smith to throw to. With a much needed upgrades at the skill position, the Jets' main priority was to sign at least one young, rising receiver in free agency and they got one in Decker. Decker has progressed since coming to the league in 2010. He has steadily increased his stats, recording more catches, yards, and touchdowns in each season. He has spent the past two years learning the complicated scheme that comes with having Manning as quarterback, so making the adjustment to a more balanced run to pass scheme will not be hard for Decker.
He will get more rest between plays as well, as the Jets do not stay in the no-huddle, fast-paced offense like the Broncos do. This is important because the much needed rest between plays and the less complicated playbook may benefit Decker by increasing his production.
Decker has good hands, being a very reliable target in the passing game. He does lack elite speed however, but his excellent route running and his quickness in and out of cuts are a good substitute in getting separation from defenders. Having such a favorable frame, Decker is durable. Durability has been an issue for New York's receiving corps, as the team's receivers never seemed to be healthy enough to stay on the field. He is also not afraid to get physical with receivers, as he blocks and is not afraid to run over the middle to make the catch in heavy traffic.
Signing the top-ranked receiver in this year's free agent frenzy has immediately improved the passing attack of the Jets' offense. He automatically fills the role of the No.1 receiver on the team, as well as becoming an instant leader for the young skills players. Being a veteran and having Super Bowl experience will be valuable for his new quarterback and his young offense. Decker was a great addition by GM John Idzik, as signing the fifth year receiver immediately poses a threat to opposing defenses.
