Will to Create, Will to Live: The Culture of Terezín is generously supported by The Rita Allen Foundation; and The Harold W. and Ida L. Goldstein Lecture Fund through the Estate of Sanford Goldstein.
Additional support is provided by anonymous donors; Suzi and Martin J. Oppenheimer; UJA-Federation of New York; the Austrian Cultural Forum; the Czech Center New York; and the Consulate General of Israel in New York.
The Nazi transition camp/ghetto Terezín [pronounced tehr-eh-ZEEN], also known as Theresienstadt [pronounced tehr-AY-zee-enn-shtadt], was established in 1941 to hold Jews from occupied Bohemia* before their deportation to the death camps. It is widely known as the site of the staged performances that the Nazis used to deceive Red Cross visitors in 1944 and subsequently exploited for a propaganda film.
But that is only one chapter in a much larger story.
From Jan 9 to Feb 16, 92nd Street Y presents a multi-disciplinary series that explores the cultural significance of Terezín, where 144,000 Jews were sent and 88,000 deported to extermination camps; the series illuminates their art and the legacy of their spirit, which endure.
Despite Nazi terror and the desperate conditions common to the ghetto, the Terezín internees produced for themselves a rich and creative cultural community, full of great music, art and educational activity. Eventually, the Nazis exploited this haven of the human spirit for their own self-serving purposes and propaganda, which has obscured the remarkable and inspirational legacy of Terezín.
In exploring the range of Terezín life, 92Y's Will to Create, Will to Live: The Culture of Terezín draws from 92Y's myriad specialties. The cornerstone of the program is a four-concert series with the Nash Ensemble of London, baritone Wolfgang Holzmair and pianists Shai Wosner and Russell Ryan performing music primarily played and written in Terezín itself.
In addition to the concert series, 92Y offers a number of panel discussions, including one with Terezín survivors; a day-long lecture series at 92YTribeca modeled after lectures given at Terezín; film screenings; dance presentations; literary readings; educational outreach to K-3 public school students through 92Y's music-education program; and an exhibit of art and artifacts from Terezín.
* Bohemia is the region now generally identified as the western part of the Czech Republic.

In a recent edition of the Energy Insight series, Elayne Crain recommends an article by David Spence. Crain writes: "[w]hile some Lonestar State policymakers are quick to point the finger at the EPA's new power plant emission rules as the reason behind the shortages, Professor David Spence finds that Texas's electricity supply woes have much more to do with the state's own need to incentivize gas-fired power plants than any sinister EPA regulatory specter. Read more about Texas electricity supply constraints, as well as the history behind the new EPA rules, in "Before You Blame EPA for Texas Electricity Supply Problems, Consider This…," the newest EMIC Energy Brief.
Former lobbyist Jack Abramoff spoke on May 2, 2012 at the AT&T Conference Center about his recent efforts to reform politics and the lobbying system. Abramoff served four years in prison after being sentenced for fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials. Business, Government & Society Interim Chair Robert Prentice and Communications and Dr. Minette Drumwright of the College of Communication moderated the event. The event was sponsored by the Bates Family Foundation, the Deloitte Foundation, the Distinguished Speaker Series Committee, Austin Young Chamber of Commerce, and the McCombs School of Business
In an April 23 Bates Family Fund Lecture, Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability of the United States Treasury Timothy Massad spoke to a McCombs audience about his administration of the TARP program. TARP involved using massive federal funding during the economic downturn to prop up more than 700 banks, the U.S. auto industry, insurance giant AIG, and other entities. Massad's message was that TARP was a bipartisan measure that succeeded in what it was supposed to do and came in under budget. He predicted that when TARP is finally wrapped up, the federal government will lose very little of its "investment," and might even turn a small profit.
The Alcalde recently published an article on their website about Jack Abramoff's visit to the McCombs School of Business. The article discusses Abramoff's visit, why he spoke at UT, and why schools bring disgraced speakers to teach our current students lessons on ethics and leadership. "Jack Abramoff has made some mistakes that I hope our students will never make. If they can learn from him how he made those [mistakes], they can keep their ethical antennae up and hopefully avoid some of the errors that he made," says Robert Prentice, chair of the Department of Business, Government and Society and a moderator for the event.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Jon Wellinghoff and EPA Region 6 Administrator Al Armendariz were among the participants in the Second Annual Austin Electricity Conference, held at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center on April 4th and 5th. The conference is an invitation-only affair, bringing together scholars, industry representatives and policymakers each spring to address cutting edge issues in the energy industry. Professor David Spence of the Business, Government & Society department participated as a panelist for the conference.
The BGS Department is pleased to announce the hiring of two assistant professors who will join McCombs next year.
Tim Werner, who has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, will leave his post at Grinnell College to join McCombs. His research and teaching interests include the policy making process, business and government relations, and campaign finance reform. Cambridge University Press will soon publish Professor Werner's book, "Public Forces and Private Politics in American Big Business."
Brian Richter, who has a Ph.D. from UCLA, will come to McCombs from one of Canada's leading business schools, the Ivey School at the University of Western Ontario. Professor Richter's research focuses on firms' interactions with governments and other non-market actors, on the institutional settings in which firms operate, and on firm-level international financial and economic linkages. His interdisciplinary interests span fields including political economy, strategy (particularly non-market & international), finance (particularly corporate & international), political science, law, international/development economics, applied microeconomics, and industrial organization.
A key goal of the BGS Department is to contribute to public debates about the proper role of government regulation in business activity. When SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar issued a statement on facilitating small business capital formation in November, he cited research by BGS professors Frank Cross and Robert Prentice. Prentice has also recently been quoted in The New York Times (regarding the impact of government regulation on business activity), the CNN Wire (regarding government regulation and rogue traders), and the Voice of America (about government protection for whistle blowers in the financial industry).
"One of my teaching duties at The University of Texas' McCombs School of Business is to help oil company executives learn how to develop positive, productive relationships with "external stakeholders" -- governments, NGOs, neighbors, etc. A key lesson in that work is that the company's relationship with elected government officials is particularly fraught with risk. Business people can never fully trust an elected politician, no matter how close an ally he or she seems to be, because when the politician's electoral interests diverge from shared policy goals, the former almost always trump the latter."

BGS 's new MBA concentrations in "Public and Governmental Affairs" and "Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility" helped McCombs for the first time in several years land in the top third of 100 ranked schools in Beyond Grey Pinstripes' global full-time MBA rankings. McCombs ranked #28 overall (and #22 among public schools) in preparing students for social, ethical and environmental stewardship.
Each fall and spring, the full-time Texas MBA students recognize stellar faculty with their MBA Applause Awards. Based on classroom activity last spring, some McCombs faculty were recognized including BGS faculty members Robert Prentice, David Spence, and Christopher Meakin.
Associate Professor David Spence spoke to Austin's KUT News at the McCombs Energy Management and Innovation Center about the economic impact of the oil and gas industry and its impact on Perry's campaign. "As the price of oil goes up, that increases employment in the industry, and as you know, a lot of oil and gas employment for the world is centered in Texas," Spence told KUT News. The full-length interview is available on KUT's website.

HA! Jenna Jameson Responds to Lefty Haters With "Your Mom" Quips
When it comes to responding to despicable left-wing trolls on Twitter, Jenna Jameson certainly knows how to deal with them. : Yesterday, Jameson, a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur, simply tweeted that former President George W. Bush didn't destroy her industry. Well, that caused a conniption fit on the left. : With a torrent of hate tweets directed at her, she simply responded with a litany of "your mom" quips. : It was genius and: Twitchy, as always, reported on the incident.
She doesn't stop there. : She asked a couple of proggie trolls what the inimitable Barack Obama has done for the country in the past four years. : The responses were interesting.
One thing most folks seem to forget is that Ms. Jameson can hold her own in these political exchanges. : Does anyone remember her invitation to debate if pornography was harmful at the Oxford Union? : Many forecasted her to sink in the deep end, but, her argument won 204 to 27! : Talk about a Dewey vs. Truman moment. : While I'm sure Twitter isn't nearly as an incisive or respectable forum for debate in the likes of the Oxford Union, it just shows that Jameson can easily fend off the proggie drivel. : This usually happens when facts are on your side. : Therefore, these trolls should just stop embarrassing themselves. : Oh and November is coming!

"But I Don't Wanna Be a LOLstro… Waa Waa Waa"
Yeah, Roy, I don't blame ya. You get no run support. Your team owner has laughable baseball sense. Ed Wade is but a slave to the errant desires of said laughable baseball sense. Yeah. I wouldn't wanna be a LOLstro either. But if I were in your position, you sure wouldn't hear me cryin' about it.
Believe that.
Unlike Roy Halladay's situation of a year ago, when he quietly went to his GM requesting a trade — a request that the Blue Jays inherently blew out of proportion and blabbed to the media thus causing a tailspin of rumors that hurt everyone involved — Roy Oswalt's recent proclamation via his agent to the press is more than just a bit off-putting.
Look, I know I have the reputation of bein' old school. I don't like interleague. I don't like the DH. I don't like players wearing the long pants. And in this case, I don't like prima donna pitchers placing themselves above all others (even if performance warrants some discretionary leeway).
On the sandlots of Quincy, IL, if you took your ball and went home, we didn't give a sh!t. We just got a new ball. We didn't have time for whining, complaining, crying. And if you tried to come back and cause problems, you might go home with a few less teeth… and no ball.
Do you think Bob Gibson would ever cry to the media about being on a losing team? Koufax? Seaver? Hell, even recent phenoms like Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez. Those men were men. Okay. Your team isn't playing well. It happens. Deal with it. You're making millions of dollars playing the greatest game in the land, you're the envy of every 30-something sitting behind a desk (me), and all you want to do is complain about it?
I understand that it sucks playing for a losing team… that being in an organization as backwards as the Astros have been the last few years must take a damaging toll on one's psyche… but to b^tch and complain about it to the press rather than take it behind closed doors like a respectable ballplayer… that just rubs me the wrong way…. it even causes me to be lazy and use tired cliches (see this run-on sentence).
Take your ball and go home, Roy.
Unless you want to sign with the Cardinals, then, by all means, come on over, grab a jersey and let's go. I'll even give ya a hug!
Hate me 'cuz I'm old-school, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
P.S. Rumor has it the Cubs have an eye on Oswalt… to bring him in and make him a set-up man.
9 Comments
Ha ha. I loved this post. Waa Waa. That's the way I felt in April. All of us like to win, I suppose even the players. The Dodgers are probably seriously looking at Oswalt. We need a fifth pitcher or heaven forbid, we try Ramon Ortiz again. Then the opposing players will get 10 runs again.
I don't think someone taking cortisone injections should be ruining his team's best chance of brokering a decent deal for him. Sign of the times Bro …he who cries the loudest gets heard. And why did the suckiest kids always have all the best equipment?
Jeff-can't hate ya for being old school, 'cuz I'm right there with you. He needs to just man up and throw the ball. The days of the tough unselfish athlete are coming to an end.
You add to the paycheck the fact that they get all their work clothes and gear supplied too… it's frikin hilarious when they whine about anything…..
Love the post Jeff! You are so right, in the days of Bob Gibson, Sandy and Drysdale, the men were real men!.
I too don't like inter-league but loved seeing Sparky Anderson at the game yesterday! Take a look at the pic of Torre, Sparky and Leyland! Too bad Vinny was not at the game yesterday since it was one of the FOX game of the week.
Going for the sweep against the Tigers today!
Cat — I agree. They need Oswalt more than anyone else. We'll soon see!
Mike (BTB) — Meanwhile, my grand dad and an entire multi-generation crew are rolling around in their graves. Ugh.
Mike (MiB) — Agreed. It's a sad thing to watch, but hopefully we'll adjust. I don't know how yet… but we will.
Peter — Food, travel, uniform, everything. I'd like to see what their per diems are like.
Emma — Go for the sweep gal! Win, win, win!
I hear the Nats want him. Ha, Ha…poor nasties. No one wants to go there… and no one wants to STAY in Houston. At this time we have to pay the fiddler for previous sins, but we'll be back on track in a couple of years. It's gonna hurt. I'm not ready to throw on that Cardinals jersey…yet😉 (that was even hard to joke about.) Seriously, we've really enjoyed playing the Redtards this year. Bud feels right at home at Busch stadium, who knew?? Maybe we should change Minute Maid Park to Cerveza Field. I'll work on that.
Jeff, I'm still trying to find the humor in LOLstro. I don't get it.😉
true that. I like Roy Oswalt as a pitcher. He sure knows how to shut em out. This sure isn't the right way to go about things though. Talk about a slap in the face to the organization that took care of ya for a long time. Not a classy move😦
I like interleague. It gives us a chance to see teams you rarely don't see. For example Uhh…. y'all took two from us grrr!
Austin — Oh, you see the humor in it. This I know…🙂
Mimi — Take care of him… they gave him a bulldozer! Haha! Now that's a gift.

- Title
- Void formation and spatial distribution in plasma sprayed Nd-Fe-B coatings
- Author(s)
- Gan, Jo Ann; Berndt, C. C.; Wong, Yat Choy; Wang, James
- Abstract
- Formation of voids is inevitable in plasma sprayed coatings and the role of voids on coating properties has long been established. In fact, the void content within coatings is adjusted by optimizing the process parameters to obtain coatings with desirable performance. Quantification of voids via image analysis allows determination of not only the void content within a coating, but also the spatial distribution of the voids. Void content in plasma sprayed neodymium iron boron (Nd-Fe-B) coatings was adjusted by changing the standoff distance, and was found to vary from 1.8 to 8.2%. Spatial distribution parameters, which include nearest neighbor distance (d min), mean near neighbor distance (d mean), and nearest neighbor angle (θn), were determined via the Dirichlet tessellation method. Coefficient of variation (COV) values of d min and d mean allow determination of inhomogeneity and degree of clustering of the voids within a coating. The θn values reveal the anisotropic behavior of voids within plasma sprayed coatings. The influence of void content and its spatial distribution within the coatings on the microhardness and elastic modulus of coatings was determined.

Warm Weather Hi-Viz Jacketby Brian - verified purchaser
See me? Double take...yes! Pros: Hi Viz and reflective styling make this jacket a must buy for the visibility factor alone. It gets noticed by drivers for sure. So, when deciding on a jacket, you have to weigh hi viz versus structural integrity, ie textile vs. leather. Flows plenty of air and gets quite cool under 60 F, but a windbreaker worn underneath and the chill is gone. Still, waiting to see how cool it is for summer riding, but can imagine it will be nice. CE arm and shoulder armor. A little loose, but even when moving around seem to cover the vital areas.Overall, real comfortable. Cons: No zipper or pant attachment. The waist is loose and feel if slid on it would ride right up and expose your body to a nice sanding so I plan on having some sort of attachment sewn in to solve this. Inner liner does not do much to block airflow, so remove that and wear a lightweight windbreaker. Typical foam back protector gives little confidence. I wear a Stryker vest and removed the foam. Price jump-you pay more for high viz...Thanks a lot Icon. If this jacket had leather arms and shoulders, pant attachment, a real wind resistant liner and proper CE back armor it would be hard to beat on many levels...take note Icon. But, for what it is and the category it falls under is why I'm giving it 4 1/2 stars because nothing in it's category of high viz textiles matches it in looks and features. Size medium. 155lbs, 40 inch chest 31" waist. Fits perfect

Wolf Pack Update: Mollie's Pack
Since the return of the wolf to Yellowstone in 1995, there has been no lack of interesting dynamics to observe and study. From pack rivalries, to changing territories, and the significant fluctuation of wolf population numbers, the Yellowstone wolves are always fascinating to watch.
This year, one of the most interesting stories to follow is that of the Mollie's Pack. Over the winter, the pack shifted their movements to the Lamar Valley and adjacent areas of the Northern Range. For the time being, they have assumed a similar territory once occupied by their reintroduced Canadian ancestors upon release from their acclimation pen south of Slough Creek in 1995.
Although the Mollie's Pack has made annual trips to the Northern Range in previous years, they usually only stayed for a few days each visit. This year marks their greatest presence in more than 16 years; as of early May 2012, they have occupied the area for a combined total of 100 days.
This Lamar Valley territory was inhabited until recently by the legendary – and now defunct – Druid Peak Pack, which had battled for and won the Lamar territory from the Crystal Creek Pack, now renamed Mollie's Pack*, in 1996. The Crystal Creek alpha male was killed during that battle, forcing the pack to retreat. The Crystal Creek/Mollies eventually settled into the interior of the park, with the core of their territory the Pelican Valley. During their occasional visits back up to the Northern Range, there were times when they fought with the Druid wolves.
"In the years after the 1996 battle, I often wondered if there would come a time when the descendants of the Crystal Creek/Mollie's Pack might return to the Northern Range and attempt to reclaim their ancestral territory," said Rick McIntyre, biological technician for the Yellowstone Wolf Project.
It remains to be seen, says McIntyre, whether the Mollies will stay on the Northern Range long-term, or whether they will return to the Pelican Valley once prey starts to come back this summer.
The Northern Range is considered prime wolf habitat, with ample herds of prey, and less snowfall than the interior of the park. If they decide to stay, because the Mollie's Pack is currently the largest in the park, the other Northern Range packs will find it challenging to cope with their presence.
"Wolves aggressively defend their families and territories, frequently being killed in the process. The Yellowstone Wolf Project has found that the most common cause of death for adult wolves living in the park is being killed by other wolves. This is a major factor that controls the number of wolves here in Yellowstone," added McIntyre.
There are currently around 85 wolves, in ten packs, in Yellowstone. The Mollie's Pack has 17 members, five of which are collared.

Big Questions
What causes the sun to vary?
We live in the extended atmosphere of a magnetic variable star that drives our solar system and sustains life on Earth. Our Sun varies in every way we can observe it. The Sun gives off light in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and at x-ray energies, and it gives off magnetic field, bulk plasma (the solar wind) and energetic particles moving up to nearly the speed of light, and all of these emissions vary.
How do the Earth and Heliosphere respond?
Our planet is immersed in this seemingly invisible yet exotic and inherently dangerous environment. Above the protective cocoon of Earth's lower atmosphere is a plasma soup composed of electrified and magnetized matter entwined with penetrating radiation and energetic particles.
What are the impacts on humanity?
Modern society depends heavily on a variety of technologies that are susceptible to the extremes of space weather — severe disturbances of the upper atmosphere and of the near-Earth space environment that are driven by the magnetic activity of the Sun. Strong electrical currents driven in the Earth's surface during auroral events can disrupt and damage modern electric power grids and may contribute to the corrosion of oil and gas pipelines.

Proverbs 10:8-9
Last we left off, I had been telling you about Logan.* My diary has this really disorderly feel to it at this point. I barely mentioned the break up, and instead wrote about memorable times with my friends, getting grounded, and my lifelong kryptonite... boys. Lots more moaning about my bangs... you know, important stuff. It was very end of the 80's- and my graduating class of 1990 was ready to take on the world- in spandex. Reading the pages is interesting but, because I wrote so sporadically, and because I was clearly neurotic, they're a bit chaotic-y. Here's a fun entry:
The next entry, Just bullet points:Saturday, November 11, 1989 10:17 pmToday I started training as a waitress at EJ's. I really like it. I don't even want to hostess anymore. Today also marked an amazing moment in history. The Berlin is being destroyed as I write! Just think! The next generation will be reading about this in textbooks!

- I have a date with DS tomorrow
- Logan rode in my car. strange.
- Pen's out of ink, guess I'm done here.
Yesterday, I looked in the mirror at work and saw an adult... i'm scared....About this time I started to start figuring out what to do about college. Sadly, I didn't have a lot of direction. I applied halfheartedly for a few campuses, but didn't really feel that strong desire to move one way or another. I floundered around with little ambition for the future, only lofty dreams of making it big in show biz but never really knew which way to turn. As per the theme of my teen years, I tried over and over to just map my own route instead of taking it to any kind of prayer.
According to my journal, early that year, I had noticed a boy sitting across a classroom that I found so distracting, I actually had a teacher keep me after class to try to talk some sense into me- "If you spend as much time on your school work, as you do trying to get Shawn* to notice you," he warned "you could really be something special." I'm sad to say, I passed him off as old and me as misunderstood and went on my merry way. Entire pages of my diary are just Shawn's name, with no stories or anecdotes, just hearts and scribbles.
My next journal entry is very symbolic of the exact spot I was on the path:
I have changed so much this past year. I tried to
That's it. The rest of the page is completely blank. I had gotten so far off the path that God designed for me I couldn't even see which way to go.
In the spirit of maintaining honesty and transparency with some semblance of dignity, I am going to fast forward a bit through period of time, painting only the rough details of the picture. The truth is that I wasn't writing anymore because I had become a ridiculous human being. Prior to this period, the worst thing on earth that I could imagine happening would be for some boy to find out my true feelings. Now, I completely lost my mind- I became forward and bold. I pursued Shawn with absolutely no shame at all. It wasn't pretty. A better phrase would be, um.. oh! Oh I know! Total And Complete Train Wreck.
The affections were not returned. I can't imagine what was not attractive about a quirky teenage girl with lame bangs and who awkwardly insists on proposing marriage (okay, I'm not sure I actually proposed... but you just never know) but somehow he was able to resist all my "charms" all the way up to spring break. I remember giving him my phone number on the last day of school before the holiday break with some sort of cool and subtle note asking him to call me, and then I waited...
What happens next? Why even tell this part of the tale? I'm so glad to announce that my story is about to take a dramatic turn, get a little better, then a little worse, and then PHENOMENALLY BETTER and I couldn't get to that part without at least mentioning this part. How on earth will the miracle of what God has done be understood for how amazing it was if you don't have a clear picture of how pathetic my heart had become?
The perspective from my current spot in the path is such a cool place to be- because I can now see what God was doing here- even though it completely alluded me in the moment. I can't even a little bit wait to tell you the next part of the story- I'm so so so excited about the timing of where we are now, and where we are headed. If everything works the way I think, we will have the ending of the Paths series this Sunday. I hope ya'll will stick with me :)

How many times have you driven down a street, only to see somebody's sprinkler system going full blast ? in a rainstorm? Little things do make a difference to our planet. Just by being aware of what we do (or don't do) can help us take a big strain off our environment. Here are 10 simple things you can do to help save money, resources, and give your planet a breather.
Most people leave their computers running all the time. If you switch yours off, you can save an extra $75 a year in electricity bills. While you're at it, switch off your lights when you leave the room for another big savings.
Deep, infrequent waterings keep your lawn and garden healthy, as long as you do it in the early morning. Running your sprinkler on a hot afternoon is throwing money away into thin air, since much of it simply evaporates.
Bringing reusable bags with you to the grocery store can keep trash out of landfills. Plastic molecules hardly break down, so the less we use, the better off we all are.
Composting is easy, and great for your garden. Just add some yard waste, some vegetable table scraps, a little dirt and water, and you're set. You'll have great organic amendments for your garden, and you'll keep stuff out of your local landfill.
Deck planking made of old milk jugs, insulation made from jeans, lawn products that contain recycled newspapers. There are plenty of everyday items on the market that use recycled materials. The more we buy them, the greater the market will be, and the less waste we'll have to deal with.
The stuff that's grown, baked, or built down the road from you didn't have to travel thousands of miles to reach you. Buying them saves a lot of energy. Also, you'll be helping to give people close by a chance to succeed in life.
There's nothing like the smell of laundry dried in the sun. Drying your clothes outside can save you a couple of dollars' worth of electricity by staying away from the dryer. If every household in the country did that, we would save enough electricity to mothball every one of our nuclear power plants.
You don't need a warm or cool house when you're not in it. And when you are, shave off a degree or two. By dialing down in the winter and up in the summer, you'll save big bucks and big kilowatts.
Keep your tires inflated to save gas. If you drop your speed to 60 from 65, you'll save 5% on your fuel. From 75 mph, you'll save 20%. Also put in a clean air filter and save up to another 10%. If your car is properly tuned up, you can save a whopping 44%.
Running toilets and dripping faucets can waste thousands of gallons a year. Tighten them up, and keep more money n your pocket. Mother Earth will thank you, too.
You probably have some good tips for conserving resources and keeping things natural. Why not share them? Just jot your thoughts down in our blog forum here.

In 1877 , Wm. J. Parks, Co., published a history of Madison, Dane Co, and the surrounding villages and towns in Dane Co., Wisconsin. Contributors from the various locales provided information, pictures, and maps for the book. My great-great grandfather James P. McPherson wrote the portion about the history of Springdale (p. 806, Dane County Towns, Springdale). Because of its length, the Springdale history will be published on this blog in several parts. Part 2, as follows, tells of the early settlers in Springdale and how they established their governing bodies.
By James P. McPherson, Esq
Part 2 Springdale and Early Settlers
The town was settled in 1844 or 45, the first settler being Mr. John Harlow, who built the first house with inn the limits of the town. That house is still standing on the farm of Mr. Patrick Casey, on section one.
In 1845, Messrs, Michael Jacket, Wyatt Perkins, Perry Nunger, Tomas Bently and others, settled in the northeast part of the town and commensed the improvement of their lands. Mr. Perkins built a dam and saw mill on a small branch of Sugar River. These were regarded by some of Mr. Perkins' neighbors, as hindrances rather than improvements, and let to litigation, with resulted in the removal of the dam and mill, and also Mr. Perkins, who sought a new location for his mechanical industry.
In 1846, Messrs. Thomas B. Miles, Axium Malone, Hawley Childs, N. H. Dryden, Thore T. Spaanem, Morgan L. Curtis, John S. Berge, Henry Boland, Martin Nash, Michael Johnson and others, moved in and occupied land in other parts of town. In 1850 John Mitchell and James P. McPherson settled on section 24 and 25.
The town was organized in 1848, the first election for town officers being held on the second Tuesday of April in that year. Twenty votes were cast, and twenty-one offices were filled, and the following named persons were elected, viz.,: Chairman, Martin Nash; Supervisors, Wyatt Perkins and Thomas Bentley; Town Clerk, Robert N. Ashmore; Treasurer, Morgan L. Curtis: Collector, Axium Malone; Justices, Martin Nash and Morgan L. Curtis; Commissioners of Highways, Thomas Bentley, N. H. Dryden, and Robert N. Ashmore; School Commissioners, Hawley Childs, Thos. B. Miles and Wyatt Perkins'; Assessors, Perry Munger and Thos. B. Miles; Fence Viewers, Michael Jacket and Hawley Childs; constables, Axium Malone and John I. Berge; Sealer of Weights and Measures, Wm A. Dryden.
Of the twenty-one officers then elected, there are four of them yet residents of the town, viz., Messrs. N. H. Dryden, Thos. B. Miles, Michael Jacket and John I Berge.
It was determined that no town tax should be levied, and that the officers should receive no pay for their services for that year, but shortly after the election, a special town meeting was quietly convened by the incumbents interested, and a small town tax, sufficient to satisfy the office -holders of those early days, was levied and in due time collected.
From 1848 to 1852, the population of the town was largely increased by the immigration, and nearly all the land was then entered and occupied by settlers from the Eastern and Middle States, and from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and Norway, who have devoted their attention and labor to the cultivation of the soil. The natural facilities for manufactures of any description are but limited, and agriculture has therefore been the occupation of the people and will likely remains so.

August Top Notch Teacher
HOUSTON, Minn. -- With back to school shopping in full swing, kids and teachers are starting to think about the upcoming school year.
The high school social studies teacher at Houston School District is being recognized for doing more than just teaching a good history lesson.
Ms. Mathers does more than just teach history facts. "I can talk to her about anything and walking into her classroom every day makes me smile," said Samantha Becker, Freshman. Houston High School junior, Mitchell Beckman said, "She knows everyone on a personal level and she's just a friend along with a teacher."
This relationship, which Ms. Mathers has created with her students, is a part of her teaching style. "My goal is to get to know them. Ask them questions establish a relationship and then I feel like once that relationship is established, that connection is built, then I can really teach them," said Ms. Mathers.
And how she teaches them depends on who they are and how they learn. "My American government students and international geography students this year, that particular class was very hands on. So, I did more projects than I had in previous years. The first year I taught it that class was more into debate and discussion so we did a lot more of that."
In this social studies class, made up of mostly boys, Ms. Mathers may use a few more games to add a little competition into learning which studies have shown is an effective teaching technique for many boys. Her students say the variety of teaching styles she uses in the classroom works.
"I've never not been confident on one of the tests that I've taken for her in the past, because I know that if I do the study guide, if I paid attention enough, I know what i need to know," said Becker. "When she has the curriculum she makes it easier for us to learn things at a more basic level and then she works her way up. She doesn't leave any students behind or guessing," said Beckman.
But if students do need extra help, the relationship they've built with Ms. Mathers helps them feel comfortable enough to ask. "They respect me. They respect my classroom. They feel safe here. They feel like they can say anything here. And they know my door is always open," said Ms. Mathers.
Superintendent of Houston Public Schools, Jean Broadwater said, "If you don't have a relationship with the children, nothing else will take place. Teachers need to take the time to build relationships with kids before they do anything else. There's not going to be any learning or no engagement, and the kids need to know that you care about them. And she definitely cares about kids.
Which is why being named August's Top Notch Teacher is such an honor to her. "I try very hard to recognize my students and award them and I try really hard to acknowledge them. It's kind of my goal every day to at least tell one kid in every class something that I'm proud of that they've done. So when I got that kind of recognition.... it was special," said Ms. Mathers.
"She's more than a teacher, she's a great friend and person overall," said Becker. "It's a nice thing to feel that you've made a difference," said Ms. Mathers.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
In Stock
Wine Specs
Vintage 2008
Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation Napa Valley
Alcohol % 13.5
Wine Enthusiast 93
Wine Profile
Ratings "A terrific Cabernet so balanced and elegant it's Classic Napa Valley. Rich in blackberries, black currents, herbs and ceder, with a perfect touch of smoky oak, and so smooth and complex, you keep returning for a second and third glass. Long Meadow Ranch is a winery that constantly overdelivers." Editors' Choice - S.H - Wine Enthusiast Dec 31, 2011
Vineyard Notes The 2008 harvest was a year of extremes. We entered the season with a 30 percent reduction of annual rainfall and frosty conditions through March and April. The summer continued to be cooler than average, with erratic temperatures through our Indian summer, resulting in low yields from small clusters and small grapes at moderate sugars. But, the cool weather also extended harvest which gave us longer hang time to produce high quality red wines with great balance and flavors.
Winemaker Notes "This vintage expresses the full potential of the early growing season and beautiful fruit maturity. The nose has layers of forward fruit (blackberries, black cherries and dried plums), varietal earthiness (anise, black tea, dried briar patch), and well integrated oak (cedar, vanilla and milk chocolate). Approachable from the first sip, the smooth, rich tannins lend structure and length to the persistent, sappy fruit. Last impressions of clean, mouthwatering fruit linger without any infringement from excess alcohol, overripe prune/raisin or overpowering tannins. Enjoy the balance and youthfulness of this blend upon release o for years to come!" - Ashley Heisey
Food Pairing Notes Perfect with LMR Grass-fed Highland beef, with lamb, or with roasted game.
Production 2,615 cases

This article is the best news I've heard about a Pope since John Paul II announced that evolution was a fact. Which was on October 23, 1996 …
September 19, 2013 | The New York Times, Laurie Goodstein-- Pope Francis, in the first extensive interview of his six-month-old papacy, said that the Roman Catholic Church had grown "obsessed" with preaching about abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he has chosen not to speak of those issues despite recriminations from some critics.
In remarkably blunt language, Francis sought to set a new tone for the church, saying it should be a "home for all" and not a "small chapel" focused on doctrine, orthodoxy and a limited agenda of moral teachings.
"It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time," the pope told the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, a fellow Jesuit and editor in chief of La Civiltà Cattolica, the Italian Jesuit journal whose content is routinely approved by the Vatican. "The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.
"We have to find a new balance," the pope continued, "otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel."
The interview was conducted in Italian during three meetings in August in the pope's spartan quarters in Casa Santa Marta, the Vatican guesthouse, and translated into English by a team of translators. Francis has chosen to live at Casa Santa Marta rather than in what he said were more isolated quarters at the Apostolic Palace, home to many of his predecessors.
The interview was released simultaneously on Thursday morning by 16 Jesuit journals around the world, and includes the pope's lengthy reflections on his identity as a Jesuit. Pope Francis personally reviewed the transcript in Italian, said the Rev. James Martin, an editor-at-large of America, the Jesuit magazine in New York. America and La Civiltà Cattolica together had asked Francis to grant the interview, which America is READ FULL ARTICLE

Saluting The Disappearing Warriors
Bob Hodkinson still has shrapnel in his shoulder from the Korean War.
"It's a regular weather vane. I can tell when storms are coming," he said.
If you get a chance to talk to a veteran of Korea or World War II, listen closely.
They are disappearing fast.
Watertown VFW Post 1400 has lost a half dozen of them so far this year.
"So naturally there's few and fewer all the time and the younger people these days are not really joining these organizations," said Nic Luciani, a Vietnam veteran.
In fact, about 75 percent of the remaining members of the post are 75 years old or older.
"We get new young people in, thank God, but our numbers will get smaller," said Jerry Tighe, Post 1400 commander.
The newer generation of warriors has organizations of its own - not to say the younger soldiers have forgotten their older brethren.
"there's a sense of awe and reverence, but there's also a sense of kindredship and brotherhood because they are my brothers in arms," said Lieutenant Colonel Michael Oeschger, 10th Mountain Division.
But, as time marches on, the ranks will get thinner and thinner.
"You wonder when your number is coming up," said Hodkinson.
Making it harder and harder for some time-honored traditions to stay alive.

More must be done to protect W.Va. infants
On Christmas Day, a day when we West Virginians lavish our love on children, including the tiniest, some babies in our state were in agony caused by their mothers.
It is impossible to say how many infants have been born addicted to illegal drugs and/or alcohol during the past week or so – but we know beyond any reasonable doubt the number is substantial. It may well be in the double digits.
As incredible as it may seem to the overwhelming majority of pregnant women and mothers in the Mountain State, some of those carrying babies in their wombs continue to use dangerous, often illegal, drugs or alcohol. When their babies are born, they come into the world addicted.
Health care professionals who, in increasing numbers, must care for those babies report that many suffer terribly from withdrawal symptoms. The word "agony," sometimes overused, is precisely correct in this situation.
Babies born to mothers who used alcohol or a variety of drugs during pregnancy also are at risk for many health problems, including delayed development.
This is not the first time we have written of this terrible problem. We began focusing on it about five years ago, when the state of West Virginia conducted a study to determine how many babies are born with certain drugs and/or alcohol in their systems.
An excellent technique, testing of blood from newborn babies' umbilical cords, was used for the study. Eight hospitals from throughout the state, including Wheeling Hospital, participated.
Of the 759 babies whose blood was tested, nearly 20 percent had harmful drugs and/or alcohol in their systems. In Wheeling, 12 percent of the 65 newborns tested had drugs in their bloodstreams. Fifteen percent tested positive for alcohol.
At the time, researchers said the problem had been increasing. We have every reason to believe it is even worse now.
State officials should conduct another investigation, similar to that in 2007, to provide more information about the shameful, horrible epidemic. That may help West Virginians devise some strategy to combat it.
These are our babies, for God's sake. We are not doing enough to help them. That needs to change.

October 2, 2013 —
LOUDONVILLE, NY — According to a new poll from Siena College, New York voter support for Proposition One, which would allow for the creation of a limited number of casinos in the state, will be influenced by the language of the proposition.
A press release from Siena says that when New York voters are asked if they, "support or oppose passing an amendment to the state constitution to allow non-Indian, Las Vegas style casinos to be built in New York," they are just about evenly divided on the question at 46% pro, 46% con, which is a decrease in support from last month.
But when the language of the proposition is used and voters are asked if they would vote to, "allow the legislature to authorize up to seven casinos in New York State for the legislated purposes of promoting job growth, increasing aid to schools, and permitting local governments to lower property taxes through revenues generated," the numbers change rather dramatically with 55% saying they would vote yes and 42% saying they would vote no.
The poll result tends to buttress the complaint by gaming opponents that the wording of the proposition was deliberately manipulated by Albany officials to get the result they desire: a yes vote on Proposition One.
A majority of voters, 51 percent, says the language on the ballot for the proposed amendment is fair—"it describes the amendment, highlighting the benefits for New Yorkers"—while 43 percent say it is unfair—"it only includes arguments in support, ignoring arguments in opposition."
"Clearly, the wording on the ballot for the casino amendment matters. When voters are asked a generic casino gambling amendment question they are evenly divided, with New York City voters opposed and downstate suburban voters and upstaters mildly supportive. However, when voters were provided the specific wording they will see on the ballot, a majority of voters from every region and from every party say 'yes,' they would approve the casino amendment," said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.
Largest plurality ever says no to fracking
In the same poll, the results of which were released on September 30, voters were asked about support for hydraulic fracturing or fracking.
Greenberg said, "45% of voters oppose fracking and 37% support it, up from 42-41% opposition last month, the largest anti-fracking sentiment ever in a Siena College poll." He added, "A majority of upstaters and Democrats, and a plurality of independents and New York City voters oppose fracking, which is supported by a plurality of Republicans and downstate suburbanites. Men narrowly support it; women more strongly oppose it."
Environmental groups took the opportunity to repeat their messages. Katherine Nadeau, policy director of Environmental Advocates of New York, issued this statement: "No matter how much money the industry funnels through its propaganda machine, upstate New Yorkers cannot be manipulated into believing that fracking is some sort of silver bullet. By one of the widest margins yet, upstate residents oppose fracking by a lopsided 52-34 percent. The fracking industry has attempted to bully and coerce the state into fracking every step of the way, but their tactics have alienated the very people who would be impacted by their drilling."

Editors Interim Superintendent Randy Dunn will
be available to media today, Monday, September 20 at 1:00
p.m. in the ISBE Board Room, 4th Floor, 100 N. First Street,
Springfield. The call-in number will be 1-866-297-6315.
B-Roll and video details will be sent shortly.
SPRINGFIELD The Illinois State Board of Education
today appointed Dr. Randy J. Dunn of Chester, Illinois
to the position of Interim State Superintendent of Education.
Dunn, a former K-12 educator and faculty member at Southern
Illinois University at Carbondale, was appointed at the
Boards first meeting since Gov. Blagojevich appointed
seven new members last week. Dunn was the Governors
proposed candidate for the position.
Today is a new day at the Illinois State Board
of Education, said Jesse Ruiz, Chairman of the Illinois
State Board of Education. We are excited about our
new roles as board members and we are pleased that Dr.
Dunn has accepted the opportunity to join us as we move
Illinois education in a new direction. As an educator
with experience on many levels, Dr. Dunn is the right
person to step in immediately to manage the agency.
Dunn began his education career as a fourth grade teacher
in Gibson City, Illinois. He later moved into administration,
serving as principal for two schools in central Illinois
and later as Superintendent of the Argenta-Oreana Community
and Chester Community School Districts. Dunns education
background includes a Bachelors Degree in Elementary
Education with an emphasis on Reading and a Masters
in Education. He began his studies in broadcasting and
later switched to elementary education. He has made teaching
children to read a focus of his career ever since. Dunn
is on leave from SIUC as Chair of the department of Education
Administration and Higher Education.
Education is my passion, said Dunn. I
cant think of a better way or a better time to serve
Illinois school children in yet another capacity. This
is a historic time for education in Illinois. I look forward
to working with the Governor Blagojevich, the new board
and agency staff.
This was the first Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) meeting for Ruiz, Dr. Andrea Brown of Goreville,
Dr. David Fields of Danville, Ed Geppert of Belleville,
Dr. Vinni Hall of Chicago, Brenda Holmes of Springfield
and Dr. Chris Ward of Lockport. The seven new members
were joined by the two continuing members on the state
board, Dean Clark of Glen Ellyn and Joyce Karon of Barrington.
The new members appointments require confirmation
by the Illinois Senate, but statute allows them to begin
work immediately.
After accepting the position, Dr. Dunn made several key
staffing appointments. Dunn appointed Mark Kolaz to the
position of Assistant Superintendent for Operations. Kolaz
has over 20 years of state government experience. More
recently he served as Senior Advisor to Governor Blagojevich
for Legislative Affairs and as Deputy Director of Agriculture.
In the capacity of Deputy Director of Agriculture, Kolaz
managed the Illinois State Fair.
Dunn appointed Jonathan Furr to the position of General
Counsel. Furr has served as the General Counsel for the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources since April 2003.
Prior to that, Furr worked in the Governmental Practice
Group at Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw in Chicago.
The changes at ISBE follow the Governors signing
of Senate Bill 3000 last week. The new law allowed the
Governor to appoint seven new members to the State Board
and also instills new accountability at the agency. At
the Governors direction the new board and interim
superintendent will focus its attention on four areas.
The board will immediately:

West Virginia Wesleyan College has Grammy connections
An artist can go through his or her entire life and never be recognized for their talent. However, there is something to be said for an artist who can not only find a place in which to showcase their talent, but also be acknowledged for it. A Grammy nomination, for instance, is a perfect example; just ask two of West Virginia Wesleyan College's own.
Sherezade Panthaki, a 1999 alumna of the college, and Dr. James Moore, assistant professor of music, both have had the opportunity to be a part of two Grammy-nominated groups this year.
Panthaki is nominated for Best Choral Performance with the Trinity Church Wall Street Choir on their performance of Handel's "Israel in Egypt." Moore, along with other members of the Bob Mintzer Big Band, is nominated for Best Large Jazz Ensemble for their work on Mintzer's album "For the Moment."
Panthaki has been busy building her repertoire as an opera and oratorio soloist since her time at the College. Upon the completion of her Master's degrees in Vocal Performance from the University of Illinois and Yale University, Panthaki has appeared with several ensembles, including the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the Clarion Music Ensemble. Her accolades are numerous, and her work with the Trinity Church Wall Street Choir has now placed her in the prestigious category of Grammy-nominated musicians.
"The Choir and Orchestra of Trinity Wall Street is one of the premier, if not the premier, organization for Baroque music in New York City," Panthaki said. "I got to know about the organization while I was a graduate student at Yale University. Trinity Wall Street held auditions for a selected group of singers since they were looking for soloists/choristers for their upcoming season, and I was one of those invited to audition."
Panthaki was chosen to collaborate with the Choir after her successful audition that showcased her skills.
"My first collaboration with them took place within a couple of months, with the recording of Handel's famous work, "Israel in Egypt" – this is the one which was nominated for a Grammy last month," said Panthaki. "One of their regular sopranos was unable to sing the recording because of a last-minute emergency, and they needed someone with very good sight-reading skills and a thorough knowledge of Baroque musical style to fill the position on very short notice, with essentially no rehearsal time."
Panthaki's skills that landed her this gig were undoubtedly built on the solid foundation West Virginia Wesleyan gave her.
"My musical experiences at West Virginia Wesleyan were absolutely crucial in preparing me for a successful career in music," state Panthaki. "Dr. Larry Parsons gave me several solo opportunities. There is no substitute for practical solo experience in front of an audience, and this was a really valuable part of my education. Dr. Parsons and Dr. Melody Meadows both set a very high, uncompromising standard of musical excellence that I was eager to try to achieve."
Moore, professor and Department Chair at Wesleyan, came to the college in 2006. He is the director of Bands and Jazz Ensembles at the college and is also the brass studies coordinator. Aside from his work at Wesleyan, Moore also plays an active role in the Pittsburgh Jazz scene and as a guest clinician around the extended area.
Moore's involvement in the Bob Mintzer Big Band stemmed from his work with Pittsburgh's Manchester Craftsman's Guild, a non-profit organization that hosts a cultural center in the city. Minzter contacted the record label, MCG Jazz, looking for a few musicians to fill spots for his album.
"The music I played on Mintzer's album was some of the most difficult I have seen," stated Moore. "The album was recorded live over a two-day show after one rehearsal, which is not uncommon in the music world. All of us knew that the music and project was something really special, even before the album was released."
Moore understood the role he was asked to fill, and he knew this was an opportunity he could not pass up.
"I was just a cog in a wheel with 17 other guys, so I do not want to misrepresent the role I played," Moore said. "I just got a call for a gig, and I showed up. It was unreal to sit there and be a part of something like that, and all I did was play third trumpet."
A cog, however, is a very important part of the operation, and without it, the wheel would not move. Moore was grateful to play that small but important role in Mintzer's album because West Virginia Wesleyan is reaping the benefits.
"I was able to get tickets to the show for some students for the educational experience," stated Moore. "I know my role here at the college is to bring students as many educational experiences as I can. And now our students have a tangible connection to Mintzer and his music, and that is more important than anything. I wanted to make a connection from which the xollege could benefit."
The Grammys are celebrating their 55th year with the awards show scheduled for Feb. 10 on CBS.

Due to an infection my up to then healthy triplets were born at a gestational age of 24+3 weeks. My daughter and younger son died during NICU time and only the "eldest" (but with 690g smallest) survived with almost every complication that can occur in premature birth. I won't write about my grief and don't ask for condolences, it all hurts too much and so I am concentrating on what there is to do right now.
The hospital was not supporting breastfeeding, so I could try to latch him on for the first time around 36 weeks gestational age all on my own. He did not drink anything for weeks but then seemed to slowly get the hang of it. After the last operation that relieved him from a lot of pain, he was finally discharged from hospital at 48+1 and became way more peaceful but at the same time ceased drinking almost completely. Today he is 49+4 weeks of gestational age.
On a finger he can suck strongly but he never sucked well on the breast and at the moment seems to not suck at all. Nurses and physiotherapists are completely happy with his ability to suck when they put a finger to his palate. The LC was happy with how latching and breastfeeding looked. We tried breast shield, SNS and bottle but it all did not work/help. He is still fed through a gavage tube, which is a sad, wrong thing and some kind of vicious circle to us.
Sometimes, he seems to dislike drinking although he made clear signs before (searching, stretching out tongue, smacking). For example when I am trying to feed him on one breast and pump on the other one or I feel the let down of milk (so I can be sure some milk is flowing), he gets off the breast after maybe one minute and seems like he just wants to be pacified and not drink anything. (I don't have problems with milk supply and since 40+0 he is fed exclusively with breastmilk and gaining well - 5,5kg [12lbs] now.)
Another problem is that he does not cry and rarely wakes up when he is hungry and usually sleeps during the tube feeding.
Unfortunately there was no one in the hospital who had expertise or experience with breastfeeding extremely premature children, so I am happy to have found this forum at last - it seems that here are some breastfeeding parents to extremely prematurely born children - so I hope for to get some ideas on what else we might try or improve and for experience from other parents.
Two specific questions are:
How can I make him suck well on the breast like he does on a finger?
How can we help him "realize and verbalize" his appetite/hunger?
But if you have any ideas that might help us, please tell us.
(I apologize for my poor English, obviously I am no native speaker.)

Dr. Dennis Killian
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Jan. 6, 2014) - Dr. Dennis Killian, pharmacy director at Salisbury's Peninsula Regional Medical Center, has accepted an offer from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore to be interim dean of its pharmacy school.
"I'm humbled by this exceptional honor of being asked to join and collaboratively work with the academic leaders and the dedicated students of its pharmacy school to ensure the continued success and growth of this outstanding program during this period of transition," Killian said.
He takes over management of UMES' pharmacy program from Dr. Nicholas R. Blanchard, who announced in late November he will become dean of pharmacy at West Coast University in Los Angeles this spring.
Blanchard's last day at UMES is Jan. 24. He was hired in 2008 to launch the School of Pharmacy, which enrolled its first class in August 2010.
Killian, who in addition to his job at PRMC also is a UMES professor, moves into his new administrative duties today. He'll continue to hold positions at both institutions while UMES conducts a national search for a new dean.
"We're fortunate to have a professional of Dr. Killian's caliber and experience in our midst to help us through this leadership transition," UMES President Juliette B. Bell said.
Bell said Killian's appointment as interim dean underscores the cooperation between the university and PRMC, which provides requisite field experience training required of pharmacy students. That collaborative relationship was an important factor in UMES' pharmacy program earning national accreditation in June 2013 just a month after its inaugural class graduated.
UMES is among a handful of universities that offer an accelerated, year-round curriculum enabling students to earn doctorates in three years.
Peninsula Regional hired Killian in 2004 and a year later named him its pharmacy operations coordinator. He is responsible for a department with nearly five dozen fulltime employees who provide pharmaceutical service to the medical center's patients.
Prior to joining PRMC, Killian worked at Shore Health System in Cambridge, Md. and Upper Chesapeake Health System in Havre de Grace, Md.
He earned a Pharm.D. and a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical science from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in Baltimore, where he graduated with honors. At UMES, he has taught pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical calculations and pharmacy automation, where he has special interest.
"His colleagues here at the university and I'm told at Peninsula Regional Medical Center hold him in high regard," said Dr. Ronald Nykiel, UMES' chief academic policymaker. "We're confident his reputation as an educator-leader will translate into a positive experience for our students and our program going forward."
Approximately 180 students are enrolled in pharmacy studies at UMES.

Megan caught something better than beads at yesterday's Mardi Gras parade.
Her now fiance, Joel, gave her the surprise of a lifetime by arranging one of the parade floats to carry a banner over the railing that said "Megan will you marry me? Love Joel."
Megan immediately got weak in the knees for her beau and said yes, while clad in her mardi gras gear. Family in the crowd immediately cheered for the happy couple.
Hopefully not too many other women named Megan were disappointed yesterday.
Congratulations to the happy couple and Happy Fat Tuesday folks. Watch live coverage of today's festivities and more here at Carnival Central.

Get into position.
The Arione Tri 2 K1 with 7x9 Braided Rails is the lightest tri-specific saddle from Fi'zi:k. Its shape is optimized for the TT/tri position in order to provide support and comfort in the most powerful riding position.
Fi'zi:k's Arione Tri 2 K1 uses a flexible thermoplastic composite Wing Flex shell that ensures that the sit bones are properly supported. However, where Wing Flex differs from the competition is that it does this without inhibiting pedal stroke or causing inner-thigh irritation. That theme continues to the wide and flat nose as well, where shape plays a comfort role along with the cover. Furthering the elimination of abrasion, Fi'zi:k's Microtex cover, a synthetic leather akin to microfiber, lacks seams where saddle position adjustments commonly occur. This way, both hot-spots and inhibited movements are prevented.
The cover material is not only durable for the extensive miles that the Arione Tri 2 K1 will endure, but it's also easy to clean. Underneath the saddle, Fi'zi:k employs its light and strong carbon braided rails. For added strength and tuned vibration dampening, the weave is filled with unidirectional carbon fibers. And while this adds to the level of comfort, it also enabled Fi'zi:k to keep the Arione Tri 2 K1 under 200g.
The Fi'zi:k Arione Tri 2 K1 with 7x9 Braided Rails is 132mm wide and available in the color Gummy White/white.

Student receives scholarship
West Virginia Wesleyan College junior biology major Kaitlyn Noe has received the first Bly Family Scholarship for International Studies.
The Bly Family Scholarship Fund was established in 1991 by Suzan E. Bly, a WVWC graduate from 1968, in honor of her parents, Margaret and Shirley Bly, of Winchester, Va. In 2012, the scholarship was amended to support overseas travel. The Bly Family Scholarship for International Studies is a permanently endowed scholarship fund intended to foster a global perspective.
Noe will take part in a 25-day excursion to South Africa that will give her hands-on experience working in wildlife conservation. She will be completing research at Kruger National Park rehabilitating rescued, orphaned or injured wild animals at Enkosini Wildlife Sanctuary and having hands-on encounters with game animals. Noe will collect data for ongoing conservation research and experience firsthand how a game reserve functions.
"I believe the best way to describe my thoughts on this opportunity is John Green's quotation, 'What is the point of being alive if you do not at least try to do something remarkable?'" Noe said in a news release.
Recipients must be of full-time status while showing need and merit, be involved in campus activities, demonstrate leadership skills and show potential for achievement.

I've pulled that off more than once on the same night back in college.ReplyCancel
I think Vartan is French born. So if Butlerr is out for foreign born, Vartan is too.
I did love him in both Alias and Never been Kissed.ReplyCancel
@all lace yup, French born.

Dermot still has a career. It's not Butler, he's book through 2016. I think it's Vartan. Vartan may be foreign born but I don't think he's thought of that way. And his imdb page is dead. D-e-d. Dead.ReplyCancel
@Bee Haven
Do you enjoy old Hollywood films, Bee? The 1930's were the golden era for romantic comedies (and there was crossover with screwball comedy, e.g. Preston Sturges work). Especially the work of the director Ernst Lubitsch. My absolute favourite is a 1932 film called 'Trouble in Paradise', it is pure gold.
