Everybody loves a comeback. Don't believe me? Go out and poll everyone in the world. See? Told ya. Anyway, here are four artists who soared and crashed, only to rise again.
At this point, I'd reference the phoenix from Greek mythology, who was reborn from the ashes, but then someone in the comments would call me a pretentious hipster, because the Internet is stupid and also doesn't know what "hipster" means, so, um, hey, look at this wicked awesome firebird and enjoy the article.
4 Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. started his career with a bang, joining the 1985 cast of Saturday Night Live at the age of 20. Of course, that was the worst year of SNL's existence, but it was a nice achievement nonetheless.
Highlight of the '85 season? Dennis Miller doing the news years before trading in his sense of humor for Bill O'Reilly's love. (The last time I saw a trade that bad, Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy were experiencing a brief splash of celluloid relevance, amirite, chi-chi?)
From there things only improved as he landed the role of the blue-haired wisecracker in Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School. Then Downey's role in Less Than Zero helped make him a temporary pinup, winning young Tiger Beat hearts like an '80s version of Justin Bieber (if Justin Bieber were an actor and had male genitalia).
And then came his Academy Award-nominated performance as Charlie Chaplin in Chaplin. His performance spans Chaplin's life from a youth to an old man, and he gets everything right: the accent, the humor, the pathos and the physical comedy.
And Then ...
Drugs. Lots of drugs. Downey was arrested a string of times from 1996 to 2001 and soon became a semi-blacklisted liability. He took work where he could find it, whether that be Ally McBeal, where he was fired due to more drug arrests, or Elton John videos.
But Then ...
With sobriety came success. First there was the criminally underrated Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and then ... Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes. Who knew that Tony Stark and the world's greatest detective were both so much like Robert Downey Jr.?
But I don't really mean that as a dig, because everyone loves the hell out of Downey in those roles. And his sobriety is the key -- not just because it removes the liability of employing an addict, but because it makes him safe for consumption. We all love to invite the life of the party to our happenings: They're charming and funny and a good time. At first. But we never ask them back, because by the end of the night they've vomited on the rug, dripped blood in our bathroom and stolen our grandmother's engagement ring to pawn for drugs.
A reformed Downey means that we get to see our favorite lovable bad boy again, knowing that he'll be a blast but does not require us to hide the good silver. And now that he's got enough money to do all the blow in the world and apparently isn't doing all the blow in the world, maybe he'll get a chance to make some great non-popcorn movies, too.
3 Neil Young
Oh man. Do you kids know Neil Young? No? Well, there were always two sides to ol' Neil: the Canadian folkie who wrote some classic acoustic stuff and occasionally hung with his buddies Crosby, Stills and Nash, and the rocking leader of Crazy Horse, whose music inspired Kurt Cobain and others to the point where he was called the Godfather of Grunge. If your parents hated you and didn't expose you to Neil or if you lived in a town with no classic rock radio station, or if you've just devoted the first part of your life to sucking so hard that there was no room for Neil Young, you should probably rectify that as soon as possible.
Some of his stuff probably slipped into your brain whether you wanted it to or not. Songs like "Old Man," "The Needle and the Damage Done" and "Like a Hurricane" are just constantly in the ether.
The Washington Post
Also, you might know him from his role as Cornelius in Planet of the Apes.
And Then ...
Around 1980, something went horribly wrong. Neil started making electric, synth-based music, and holy hell, was it awful. How awful? Kinda this awful:
But Then ...
The '80s drew to a close, and with the ousting of Republicans, our friend Neil came back to us. First with an album called Freedom that produced "Rockin' in the Free World" and "No More." A few years later, he set out to do a sequel to his classic 1972 album Harvest, entitled Harvest Moon. That's like making Sgt. Pepper 2, Darker Side of the Moon or Stevie (Tommy's Handi-Capable Younger Brother Who's Great at Pac-Man). And even though the bar was set impossibly high, Neil smoked it. Harvest Moon was a critical and commercial success, producing a string of instant rock radio favorites, including the title track.
Neil was making some of the most important music of his career while receiving the adulation of all the grunge rockers he inspired. Then Kurt Cobain got tired of having the brains on the inside of his head and shot himself, quoting a Neil Young lyric in his suicide note. (Incidentally, this was the worst thing Cobain had done to a great song since mangling the lyrics to Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" a year earlier.)
In response, Young released Sleeps With Angels, an album just as impressive as Harvest Moon, but reflecting his harder side. At 49, he released two of the strongest albums of his career, both completely distinct from each other and both perfect additions to his growing legend. Oh, yeah, and he was nominated for an Academy Award for "Philadelphia."

- Title
- A cost-effective strategy for intermediate data storage in scientific cloud workflow systems
- Author(s)
- Yuan, Dong; Yang, Yun; Liu, Xiao; Chen, Jinjun
- Abstract
- Many scientific workflows are data intensive where a large volume of intermediate data is generated during their execution. Some valuable intermediate data need to be stored for sharing or reuse. Traditionally, they are selectively stored according to the system storage capacity, determined manually. As doing science on cloud has become popular nowadays, more intermediate data can be stored in scientific cloud workflows based on a pay-for-use model. In this paper, we build an Intermediate data Dependency Graph (IDG) from the data provenances in scientific workflows. Based on the IDG, we develop a novel intermediate data storage strategy that can reduce the cost of the scientific cloud workflow system by automatically storing the most appropriate intermediate datasets in the cloud storage. We utilise Amazon's cost model and apply the strategy to an astrophysics pulsar searching scientific workflow for evaluation. The results show that our strategy can reduce the overall cost of scientific cloud workflow execution significantly.

On-Campus Recruiting
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) interviews are scheduled for full-time, internship, and summer opportunities. During this time, organizations representing a diverse range of career opportunities will schedule visits at SLU. Off-Campus interviews are scheduled at any time throughout the year.
All OCR interviews are held at Career Services, (Busch Student Center, Suite 331), unless otherwise noted. To apply for OCR opportunities, you must register in Handshake. Contact Career Services at 314-977-2828 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
On-Campus "No Show Policy"
If a student is scheduled for an interview and does not "decline interview" or "cancel sign-up" via Handshake, nor notify Career Services at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time as to why he/she cannot attend the interview, the student will be considered a "No Show" and will immediately be suspended from On-campus recruiting and blocked from the CareerLink database. The student must write a letter of apology to the company and submit a copy to Career Services. Once confirmation is received that the letter has been sent, the suspension will be lifted and the block removed.
Students who are invited for an interview and do not sign up nor elect to decline the interview through CareerLink will follow the above protocol.
Should a second offense take place, the student will be required to meet with the Director of Career Services. Disciplinary action will be discussed at that time.
Multiple Interviews Policy
In an effort for Career Services to maintain good standing with our employers, once you have accepted an internship or full-time job offer, you may not interview for other positions through Handshake.
A violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension from On-Campus Recruiting and the use of the Handshake database.
Remember, you not only represent yourself during On-Campus Recruiting, you represent Saint Louis University as a whole.

Lauren and Justin Shelton, of Jefferson City, Tenn., attended her sister's wedding in September 2011. At the time, regular things like buckling a seat belt were a struggle for them because of their size.
The weight started piling on for Lauren in high school. "I was an emotional eater and went to the comfort of food," she says. At her heaviest, she weighed 341 pounds.
A medical scare made Justin realize that losing weight was a "life or death situation." At his peak weight in February 2012, Justin weighed 592 pounds. Knowing how dangerous it was to be so heavy helped him stay motivated to make healthy choices until the habits to become second nature.
The couple dropped a combined 55 pounds in the first month of dieting and exercising. They tried to keep the weight loss at a steady but healthy rate from there, and their efforts continued to pay off. Lauren has lost 176 pounds, and Justin is down 362 pounds.
Exercising has become an huge part of their lives. "We love it. We get restless if we haven't gone to the gym and we're at home all day," Lauren said. They spend 45 minutes to two hours in the gym six days a week.
In August, the couple completed their first 5K race. They reached their goal of completing the race in under an hour. "One and a half years ago, if you told me that I should walk even a mile, I would've laughed in your face," Lauren said. "I got tired from just walking around the store and had to lie down the rest of the evening."

Thanks Kiya, yeah the Wizards are sadly a nothing team especially without Nene I remember watching the game vs them during Linsanity and honestly wondering who the hell all these players were.Smoke....nice "BOOM-BOOM" GT video....I like the part about the Washington Wizards lineup names "WTF"....damn! Wizards only won 14 games out of 50+ games....I hate to be the headcoach to give the Wizards their 15th win....Woody is not going to be that headcoach so we could move pass this Friday 13th game.
Thanks and no worries, everyone has different taste. If I decide to make another vid I'll certainly take suggestions for the music track.great vid but i dont like the music.

Maybe instead of getting rid of Woodson the GM should provide him with personnel that would fit well into his system? Let's be honest, Woodson is not out there playing and judging by his in-game reactions I can tell he's more than unhappy with how these Knicks are trying to implement his game plans. Players with non-existent defensive skills will never fit well into Woody's system. If you provide Woodson with players like Bargnani or Hardaway you can't expect it to work. As of now three out of five players in the starting lineup don't have the word "defense" in their dictionaries. We also don't have a reliable power forward and a backup center. Instead we have a 6'11 PF/C on a $20M/year contract with minutes restriction becuase he's got the knees of a 70 years old. We also have a soon to be 36 years old 6'9 PF who could contribute on the defensive end, but is also on minutes restriction. And last but not least we've got a 7' center who just grabbed one single rebound in 26 minutes of playing time. And now tell me how is this Woody's fault?
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I don't know how about K-Mart, but it wouldn't surprise me if Dolan was behind Amare's restriction. You don't pay a player $100M to watch most of the games from the bench... in street clothes. I also agree Woody isn't blameless here, but this whole situation is a more complicated issue IMO. Bad personnel decisions by Walsh/Grunwald, players underperforming, poor coaching. Everybody involved got his share of the Knicks current struggles. And what scares me the most is that there is no instant fix in place. It's not like Mills or Woody can change anything right away. We have to wait it out, if nothing changes after 20-25 games we should push the panic button where the most reasonable call would be to blow it all up. Let's see if Murry/Aldrich get some more PT, let's see how this team performs with Tyler in the lineup. How Amare/K-Mart will develop their games etc.

A start would not be switching on every single pick and screen. Clyde is constantly saying you cannot expect a guard to cover a 6-10 player and teams are exploiting our mismatches....As a coach you work with what you have and I 100% agree Woody is a tough situation......Felton should not be our starting PG.
Honestly, as much as i like Shump, Faried and Miller for him is a steal imo...Plus Miller is a real starting PG which we don't have now, as the 3 we have are sporadic....btw, how old is Miller, like 38
Woodson's system is a gimmick system if you guys haven't got it by now.
Sacrificing Shumpert for Woody's gimmick offense and lazy defense will haunt this franchise like all of the bad moves Isaiah made for us.
Think David Lee and Trevor Ariza. You don't trade good young players just like that.
Let Denver give us Fareid. It seems like whenever we make a deal with Denver, they end up getting their hands full of good players and we take trash in return, anyone remember the Nene/Camby for Antonio McD deal?
Woodson needs to be fired.
Everyone with a big contract has to be traded and we need to get draft picks and cap space via those trades.
Going the alternative route is a path to long term failure.
Let's avoid that.
He's gonna be fired as soon as Wednesday if we don't beat the Hawks. Dolan said the Knicks are gonna win that game, and if they aren't we all know how JD will react. It's not even a warning, it's a threat, Woody is now officially sitting on a hot seat. If the Knicks don't turn it around Woody's gone before the end of this week. I only don't know who would be a better fit for this team. I mean, no serious coach will ever work for a guy like Dolan.
What 5 man lineup does Woodson favor the most on the Knicks ???
Let me make this much easier .. we know what 5 man lineup the Championship Miami Heat favors the most bc they been playing that lineup for 3 straight seasons going into their 4th season using the same 5 Man lineup ....
In their first season (2010-11), I seen HC Spoe run this same 5 Man lineup for 12 to 14 straight minutes in every half.
Which pissed off Lebron James.
Woodson is a poor man coach who should be coaching the Bobcats .. u just dont do the foolishness Woodson does as a HC.
There's nothing Melo bout a 2-4 record, and a 1-3 Home record, when a bunch of "Old-Heads" gave u a 6-0 record, but all the chaotic-foolishness made the old-heads get out of their Knicks contract before the next season.
Hint: If the "Old-Heads" seen Woodson as a NBA contender HC all or half of them would still be with the Knicks.
Woodson's one and 1/2 season .. are still experimenting (trying) to find 4 players out of 14 players to fit into a lineup with ISO-Melo. Which means Woody has not finish his first homework assignment .. a starting 5 unit.
Whats wrong with this picture? It's not about the Knicks team .. its all bout Melo, Melo, Melo, for 48 minutes in each of the 82 game season.
When u have Dolan's big money to build a team .. u build a 2 unit team of 12 players out of 15 players, where half of ur 2nd unit players would be starters on the next team.
Felton/JR/Melo/K-Mart/Tyson - 6th man THJ or Murry
Prig/Shump/Meta/Amare/Barg - 6th man Aldrich
a two-unit lineup running the same plays to create chemistry at the start of the season.

Two winning Star players are being band from playing NBA B.Ball by HC Woodson, it seem o.k. with owner Dolan, and his Goldenboy ISO-Melo.
I recall in 2003-4, Knicks Allan Houston coming off of a surgery in the offseason were also restricted to playing alternating games, the big difference was Knicks HC Chamber let Allan Houston average 34 minutes, and 24 points per game while calling time-outs mainly for the sake of Allan Houston injury.
HC Chamber's favorite winning 5 man lineup was Mutombo/K.Thomas/KVH/Houston/Ward - 6th man F.Williams.
This is the first time in my 40 somethin years of watchin the NBA, that a injury restriction has got as low as 10 minutes of playingtime per game at the start of the season .. WTF could Lebron do for a team with just 10 min per gm?
A 10 minute player belong in REHAB! untill he is healthy enough to play 24 minutes of full contact b.ball.
Alternating back to back games is something we all understand for a 24 minute playingtime player who's playing through injury ....
BUTT .. alternating 10 minute per game star-players in every other game throughout the season (LMAO) are CRAZY, and TANKING TANKING TANKING .. the Knicks dont have any 2014 draft picks, so it leave no intentional motive to TANK the season .... call it a conspiracy-theory.
Dolan sold us out for the next two seasons .................
The Shump for Faried trade was up during September in other Knicks-Forums.
New HC Brian Shaw and Faried must not see eye to eye, then again, Iggy couldnt wait to get out of Denver.
Denver wouldnt have any problem taking Amare 2 year contract.
The Knicks would have problems explaining Amare new health in Denver playing 30 minutes in every game ala Camby.
I was a big fan of Kenneth Faried in college controlling the boards like Rodman.
u damn right I wanted Faried in the draft.
Iman Shumpert is the best SG we had since Spree & Houston. In the past decade it look like we had little interest in getting a starter SG .... we had a injury retired Penny Hardaway, a raw bad-decision making Crawford dribble-dribble shoot performance, then we had tiny Nate being our best SG, till rookie Landry Fields took the job. com'on
I know Shump is not a starter, yet.
Yes to trading Shumpert if we can get a decent 1st rounder in 2015 or multiple 2nd round picks in this year's draft.
I would look at bringing a guy like Terrence Williams in, it can't hurt us more than we are.
As i said, we have two huge problems: Woodson and Felton. Woodson would look better with a real point guard but Felton makes everything more difficult
I think right now there might be another problem, Players see that this coach is clueless and they stopped listenig to him. Thats why there is no effort on the defensive end. As a result, blowout losses at home.
Even Woody said after the game, when your shots are not falling, and you dont play with an effort on the defensive end, its a prescription for disaster.
Lets see how we come out on wednesday vs Hawks. If we are not ready to play again, Woody is a gonner.
Knicks, the only NBA franchise to pick up the HC's option and mull over firing him a month later.
It happened before though, I remember we exercised Billups' option in the offseason and amnestied him before the RS started.
How come Woddy can b fired after 2 games if both loose?
its too early for everything
but what we saw vs Bobcats @ MSG and SPurs answer is simply no D
Smith Felton MELO Andrea arent defenders
style of playing for Knicks is totaly opposite of Spurs
and i agree Woodson players arent fullfill his system.
hawks aint better than Knicks Rockets are 4-3 but still they got Harden parsons and D12 Lin is now bench player.
Barkley still in TNT?
A Huge night for Jeremy Lin last night ( I did not want to keep him at that money ) so it appears the perfect storm is developing for Mike Woodson. Based on the Knicks inability to defend and the constant switching I do not see how Bargani will guard Lin...haha..........
The only hope we have is that Felton can play with a chip on his shoulder and I imagine he will know Felton vs. Lin will be watched.......
Lin will most likely have a big game and Woody will be gone the next day.

My 3 week old is a long nurser. He takes at least 30-40 minutes to nurse. I'm trying to build up supply for night feedings so my husband can feed him and in the event I need someone to watch him when I run out.
I'm planning on letting him nurse as long as he wants on one breast, then I'm pumping the other breast afterwards for about 10 minutes. In those 10 minutes I get abou 1 oz to 1.5 oz. The next feeding starts on the side I pumped.
Initially, I was switching more often during feedings but felt like he wasn't getting my hindmilk.
Does anyone think this routine is bad? I see mixed things about switching breasts. What's wrong with givin him one breast at time to nurse on? Any advice? I don't want to start a bad habit...Thanks!

Just as striking as Zurbarán's color scheme are his rich, descriptive treatment of the drapery, and the solid masses of his figures. He has arranged the composition in an airy, oval sweep to reveal the subtle play of light and shade. The woman standing at the right in contemporary costume is believed to be a portrait of the donor because she gazes directly toward the spectator. The eggs in her basket allude to the purity of the Virgin and to the Resurrection.

The diet was devised by a Croatian man looking to shed a lot of weight. It worked for him, he lost some 160 pounds on the disgusting diet. The diet consists of garlic and onions on either a wheat biscuit or cracker with a side of carrot juice -- yum.
Combining the diet with exercise, the creator of the diet did manage to lose a lot of weight, but friends said his breath was "really rancid."
The rare dieters thinking about this diet should be sure to pick up a few gallons of mouthwash when they stock up on onions and garlic if they want to keep their friends and family close.
After all, what good is it to lose weight if nobody can stand being close enough you to notice?
No. 1: The My Pet Fat diet
The My Pet Fat diet isn't so much a diet as a ugly deterrent to eating altogether.
Inspired by the pet rock craze of the 1970s, the diet consists only of a chunk of synthetic fat designed to look like the leftovers from a liposuction.
The idea is to put the ugly blob on the kitchen counter or in the fridge. Simply spotting the ugly little blob supposedly gets dieters thinking about their own fat and skipping the next snack.
One wonders why dieters would spend money on something so gross when they could simply save money by not buying the sweets they're trying to avoid.
While there aren't any health concerns associated with My Pet Fat, but dieters might have to hide their new pet when company comes over.
In the case of this pet, there's a very thin line between healthy motivation and creeping out your house guests.

About This RodPossibly the lightest and most sensitive rods Shimano has ever produced, every element of the Cumulus Casting Rod Series was designed with low weight in mind. Even the new HM-1 blank material was developed especially for this rod series. Using a new graphite and resin blend, Shimano was able to reduce the overall weight of the Cumulus Rods without reducing their strength. Extremely sensitive, these pure lightweight rods are built for performance with the lightest Cumulus Casting Rod weighing in at only 2.7 oz.
Premium Fuji Titanium SiC Guides deliver durable performance, as well as, the strength to accommodate braided lines, and each rod also features a custom Shimano Reel Seat with all but the necessary material removed. Anywhere weight could be shaved and made sense, it was done. No butt cap, no aluminum appearance parts, no paint on the top section of the blank, etc., even the Cumulus name was etched into the EVA grip instead of painted onto the rod blank. Stealthy and simplistic - the ultra-light, super sensitive Shimano Cumulus Casting Rods were made to satisfy the needs of the serious angler.
Create the ultimate Shimano lightweight combo with the Cumulus Casting Rods and the Shimano Core 50MG Casting Reel.

Bulldozers and dump trucks -- two things you usually don't see along one of Oahu's most popular beaches.
But, these big machines are a sign of hope for some sunbathers and beach goers.
"It definitely needs something because the erosion is so severe, especially on that end," said Windward Oahu resident Tracy Connor.
The sand erosion from the winter swells have been so bad the majority of the pristine coastline near the Kailua Boat Ramp is gone.
Erosion threatened the ramp and the nearby parking lot. That is why the city Parks and Recreation Department filed an emergency permit with the U.S. Corps of Engineers to start restoring sand at Kailua Beach on Monday.
"In order to prevent the foundation from being washed out, we want to replace what sand was lost here from the sand that has been dredged by Kaelepulu Stream as well," said Jessie Paahana with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The city will dump about 3,000 cubic yards of sand along Kailua Beach. That equals out to 428 truck loads of sand.
The Kailua Boat Ramp and the nearby parking lot will be closed as crews work under a tight schedule set partly by Mother Nature. Officials hope to complete the project in two weeks.
"They are trying to work within the tide levels. This week they are in extreme low tide and they want to get as much sand as they can out there now as opposed to next week when the high tides are expected," said Paahana.
City Project Manager Jerome Fukuda says the big overhaul will bring the beach back to what it looked like before this past winter.
"I think it's good the city is paying attention to these things, but I think we lack a systemic look at the whole problem," said Windward Oahu resident Ted Ralston.

Scottsboro Woman Sentenced to 30 Months for Role in Pell Grant Fraud
BIRMINGHAM, AL — WANDA BELL GAITHER, 58, of Scottsboro, Alabama, was sentenced today by United States District Court Judge R. David Proctor to 30 months in federal prison for her managerial role in a scheme that defrauded the United States Department of Education of approximately $100,000.00. GAITHER was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $107,527.00. The sentence is announced today by United States Attorney Alice H. Martin and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General.
GAITHER was the owner of Gaither and Company Beauty School in Scottsboro, where the majority of students received Pell Grant awards to cover their tuition. GAITHER pled guilty in April to participating in and directing her employees to participate in a scheme in which Gaither and Company Beauty School submitted falsified Pell Grant applications to obtain Pell Grant funds for which students were not qualified.
"The Pell Grant program exists to help the neediest people in our society receive higher education and vocational training that they otherwise could not afford. When someone like Wanda Gaither steals from that program, she steals from those people who truly need those education dollars," said Alice H. Martin, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama.
"I am proud of the work of OIG Special Agents and their commitment to protecting the integrity of federal education funds," said Mary Mitchelson, Acting Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Education. "We will continue to work with our colleagues in law enforcement to aggressively pursue those who seek to defraud federal education programs at the expense of our nation's students.
This case was investigated by Special Agents of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorneys Melissa K. Atwood and William C. Athanas and Trial Attorney Nicola Mrazek of the United States Department of Justice Fraud Section prosecuted this matter on behalf of the United States.

Scholarship fund works to bring Haitians to campus
Posted on January 15, 2014
Now in its third year, a scholarship program that will help qualified students from Haiti enroll in Grand Valley nears the $20,000 mark.
Peter Wampler, associate professor of geology, and Mark Schaub, chief international officer, established the Empowering Haiti through Education Fund to give Haitians an opportunity to attend college with the understanding they would later return to their country to further its development.
Wampler said it's an also an opportunity for the campus community.
"I look at it as a long-term investment for long-term changes in Haiti," Wampler said, "but it will also make Grand Valley a better place because we're bringing Haitians here to enrich the university, and giving people an opportunity to get to know Haitians first hand, instead of seeing them only on the news."
Wampler began traveling to Haiti in 2007 to conduct research on water quality. After years of traveling and building relationships, Wampler said he realized that even if the country's water issues were solved, a deep socioeconomic divide would remain. "Haitians often have amazing drive and passion to learn, but lack the means to use the talents they possess," he said.
Two years ago, Wampler and Chris Hendree, from Admissions, traveled to Haiti to visit schools and lay the groundwork for the scholarship program.
He said the teachers and students the Grand Valley group met were excited about the possibility of a scholarship. "I still get frequent emails about it," Wampler said. "I would love to be able to tell the Haitians that we're getting closer. It would be amazing if Grand Valley was one of the first universities to offer a scholarship to help Haitians help themselves"
Empowering Haiti through Education Fund supporters and a student organization will host a fundraising banquet in February at The Connection. Visit www.gvsu.edu/haiti for updates on the banquet, and www.gvsu.edu/giveonline to donate to the fund.

So where does the legend of the equinox and eggs standing up come from? According to the excellent Bad Astronomy: Misconceptions and Misuses Revealed, from Astrology to the Moon Landing "Hoax" by Philip Plait, the myth's introduction to the Western world comes from a Life magazine article entitled "The Mystery of the Upright Eggs Dissolves War Tension in China" published on March 19, 1945.
The article states that the local Chinese believe eggs can stand up an hour before and after the start of Spring. However, traditional Asian Spring is not the same as solar/Western Spring. Traditional Asian Spring, Lichun, occurs around February 4th or 5th. Lichun is based on the sun's location in the sky, unlike Western spring which is based on the tilt of the Earth.
The myth remained little known until neopagan and artist/activist Donna Henes obtained media notice for her public egg balancing acts for "world peace." The event was soon picked up by educators and the public who did not know the truth.


text: Hi. I have a 1 mo daughter who consistantly grunts, groans, and squirms after many of her feedings (and she is usually asleep while doing the above). She eats, burps, and sleeps well, but the grunting etc. is driving both my husband and me crazy! Is this gas or is she a noisy sleeper? Any suggestions? I've tried gripe water (didn't work) and infant Mylicon (works sometimes, but she usually ends up grunting after about 15 minutes). I'd really like to be able to comfort her and get some sleep!

National History Day competition held in La Crosse
Hundreds of area middle and high school students brought history to life Wednesday.
More than 300 students from 17 area school districts shared their history projects during National History Day at UW-La Crosse. That included performances, posters, and websites, all fitting this year's theme of 'Turning Points.'
The event's regional director says it's a great opportunity to challenge the students to take on a higher level of research. "They need to come up with a thesis and they're arguing that thesis, so the turning point doesn't have to be rooted in American history, it has to be a historical turning point," said Patricia Stovey.
It was also a competition. Students who scored high enough will compete at the state level in Madison.

Re: Changing How We Treat Judicial Nominees
Date: January 5, 2011
As the Senate returns to Washington this week, it faces an opportunity for a fresh start on judicial nominations. Senate leaders would be wise to take it.
In the last session of Congress, the Senate's treatment of President Obama's judicial nominees was deeply disappointing. When the 111th Congress drew to a close, no fewer than 19 nominees were left waiting for votes. Many of those nominees had been pending for months, but none of them received an up or down vote on the Senate Floor.
This outcome was by no means an accident. It was the result of a concerted effort by Republican Senators to block the confirmation of President Obama's nominees through persistent misuse of procedural rules.
The GOP didn't have the ability to defeat a nominee on an up-or-down vote. Nor could it sustain a filibuster against any particular nominee. But by engaging in a campaign of unprecedented procedural abuse, the GOP managed to drastically limit the Senate's ability to evaluate and vote on nominees.
When even a single senator objects to a "unanimous consent" agreement, the Senate is forced to undergo an arduous procedural maneuver to bring a nominee to a vote. First, the Senate Majority Leader is forced to file a cloture petition to end debate (a debate which, in most cases, isn't even happening.) After cloture is filed it takes up to two days before Senate rules allow a vote on the petition. Then, Senate rules permit the Republicans to insist on up to 30 more hours of post-cloture "debate." That means even when only a small minority of Senators actually oppose cloture, they have the ability to chew up days of the Senate's time.
Even when nominees have broad support in the Senate, Republican leaders abused these rules to grind the Senate to a halt. For example, persistent Republican obstruction aimed at Barbara Keenan, President Obama's nominee to sit on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals forced Majority Leader Reid to file a cloture petition more than five months after she was nominated. Although throughout that time, Republicans blocked unanimous consent agreements, the final vote made clear that their opposition was purely political: she was confirmed 99-0.
Judge Keenan isn't the only nominee to be handily confirmed after months of delay. Beverly Martin, nominated to a seat on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, was approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee, only to be held up for 132 days, at which point she was finally confirmed 97-0.
Joseph A. Greenaway, Jr., whom president Obama nominated to a seat on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, also cleared committee unanimously. Greenaway was eventually confirmed 84-0, but not before waiting 131 days for a vote.
Of the 62 judges the Senate has confirmed over the last two years, the vast majority were confirmed months after they were first nominated for a vote on the floor, but only a few faced significant opposition when the time for voting finally arrived.
By building up a backlog of nominees for months, Republican Senators had successfully gamed the system by the end of the session. Since the Senate eventually ran out of time to go through the arduous procedure Republicans demanded, GOP leaders had an outsized ability to insist on which nominees could be confirmed and which would be sent back to the White House.
Luckily, Democrats don't have to fall into the trap again. By calling votes early and often, Senate leaders have the ability to ensure that every nominee gets a vote. Senators have every right to vote against nominees, but history shows that in most cases nominees will receive overwhelming approval.
To make sure the process works, though, Senate Democrats can't let any time go to waste. Senate Leahy has been exemplary in his willingness to ensure fair, thorough hearings in the judiciary committee while still making sure that the trains run on time. Other senators would do well to follow his example.

the daily news reported that the NY Knicks allowed JVG to talk with the rockets about a possible contract. also, the former sixers coach larry brown who resigned was mentioned, but it seems that he will take care of the olympics team
man i hope van gundy will get this job
No signature
yeah, but he rejected it, being more interested in a clevelend contract
that's understandable.. who wouldn't wanna coach Lebron?
if cleveland signs van gundy.. don't we get something? a pick.. a player...?
i mean he's still under a contract with us untill july
No signature
is cleveland that stupid to sign him in before his contract expires??
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
all JVG must do is sign the paper, and i'm pretty sure he misses his old jobRocket GM Carroll Dawson said on a Houston radio station yesterday, "It's definitely his if he wants it, yeah. If everything goes well, then there's a good chance he gets an offer."
The former Knick coach plans to visit Houston today to take a tour of the Rockets' practice facility, meet with team officials and check out schools, the city and housing.
yes, i'm with you, the article also mentiones about bringing his old staff there and maybe ewing to help ming
they'll rock next season 8)
No signature
I hope JVG knows what he's doing if he goes back to coaching. He's a lot less stressed as a commentator for TNT and the bags under his eyes have been long gone.
As I said on my board, the compensation is so insignificant and Layden would probably bumble the extra draft pick anyway. Whatever the Rockets give the Knicks as compensation may as well not exist from a Knick fan's standpoint.
If anybody thinks that a second round pick is worth anything to the Knicks, Michael Wright and Eric Chenowith would like to have a word with you.
Anyway, it looks like Van Gundy has taken the job with the Rockets. I truly hope he does well, but I think he's forgotten how well he's had it for the last couple of years without having to study game film until 4 AM every morning.
huh.. anything is better than nothing
anyway, i wish van gundy all the best and good luck with the rockets.
they'll probably grow much into defense and i'm sure they'll make the playoffs next year

Two lawyers spoke at length about the possibilities and risks of passing Article 14, a section of the new proposed zoning code that would prohibit gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing within the Town of Tusten at a meeting of the zoning re-write committee on October 27 at the town hall.
First Mark Sweeney, a land use attorney hired by the town, gave his assessment. He said the speakers at the various public hearings on the matter clearly preferred that Article 14 be included in the zoning rewrite and, therefore, it was possible that the town board could adopt it.
He also said it is possible that a ban on drilling would ultimately be upheld by the courts, because the treatment of gas extraction by the state is similar to the way mining is treated. Sweeney said, "Towns have restricted the operation of mines to certain areas or banned it altogether," and those actions have been upheld by the courts.
He repeated several times, however, that the adoption of Article 14 could result in litigation. He noted that two suits regarding similar bans in the towns of Dryden and Middlefield are currently being fought in court, and he said, "Large gas companies are putting a lot of resources into knocking the bans out."
He said, "The litigation that is underway was carefully selected, we believe, by the gas drilling industry to identify particular codes in areas that were particularly important to them. They could shop around because there are a number of towns that have adopted similar bans, and they were able to shop around and find the one that fit their case the best."
He noted the possibility that a lawyer or law firm may offer to defend such a suit for a municipality pro bono, but he said, "With the gas drilling industry putting the amount of resources that they are, into the effort to knock down bans and litigate these cases, it may very well overwhelm an individual attorney or others that are handling it pro bono."
On the other hand, Sweeney also cautioned that if the town waited to see the results of the other cases before enacting such a ban, it would face a different set of risks, specifically that a developer could gain a "vested right" to drill.
The other lawyer, David Slottje, executive director of the Community Environmental Defense Council, who has been advising the town on a pro bono basis, and who is working with the lawyers involved in the Dryden-Middleton cases, said "mainstream legal opinion is that the NYS Court of Appeals will agree that towns have the authority" to adopt zoning that bans drilling and fracking.
He spent a good deal of time explaining why it was imperative that if the town wanted to pass a ban it do so before the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) finalized the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement and began issuing permits in the town.
Slottje said as a matter of law, if the town waits to pass a ban until after a permit is issued, the possibility increases that the town will lose a "regulatory takings" lawsuit brought by someone who wants to drill.
He said that the outcomes of the two cases before the courts would likely not be known for two years, and he said it is quite likely that the DEC will begin issuing permits before then. DEC commissioner Joe Martens had said the previous day that it was difficult to say when permits would be issued, but, said Slottje, "DEC is doing everything possible to fast track this."
As to the possible cost of litigation, Slottje indicated that it might be limited. He noted that in the Dryden and Middleton cases, no damages were claimed or sought, and the only question being pursued was whether or not the towns have the authority to pass the bans.
Therefore, it is likely the only cost to the town with any possible litigation is the cost of legal representation, and he used a figure of $200,000 as a possibility. Like Sweeney before him, he then mentioned the possibility of pro bono work and referenced a letter to the town that he had been given before the meeting began. He said it was from a partner in a law firm in Manhattan who has been practicing litigation for 30 years, who offered to defend the town pro bono if a case arose because of the ban.
After the presentations, and a round of questions from the numerous residents in attendance, the eight members of the committee in attendance voted unanimously to recommend to the town board that it adopt Article 14, with some minor revisions. The yes votes included committee members Peg Harrison, the town supervisor, and Lisa Dowling, a member of the town board.
The board will consider the entire zoning update at the next town meeting on November 14.

Bugging Out in ArizonaHey folks, I'm out of town this week at the Invertebrates in Education and Conservation Conference in Tucson, Arizona. Forgive me for not providing you with your weekly dose of L.A. urban nature, hopefully the images I'll share of the insects we're finding here in Tucson will suffice!
The conference I'm attending with Shawna Joplin, our Coordinator of Animal Care and Education, is put on by the Sonoran Arthropod Studies Institute (SASI). SASI is a non-profit organization devoted to fostering awareness, knowledge and appreciation of all nature through the study and interpretation of the vital roles arthropods play in the Sonoran Desert ecosystem.
I go to this conference every year to meet up with other entomologists, invertebrate educators, and of course the USDA staff who give us permits to operate our Butterfly Pavilion, and Insect Zoo. The most fun part of the conference are the field...

BSC Beckley Campus Nursing Students Help RGH "Senior Friends"
CreatedThursday, October 25 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Beckley)—Bluefield State College Beckley Campus nursing students partnered with Raleigh General Hospital to provide several health-related services to the Hospital's Senior Friends' members. The first year students in the BSC Beckley Campus Associate Degree Nursing Program conducted glucometer and blood pressure screenings while also administering flu vaccines on October 17 at the Raleigh County Armory's Convention Center.
Each of the 28 first year students in the BSC Beckley ADN program rotated through all of the sites and gained experience in administering the screenings and vaccines. "This initiative gave the students an opportunity to increase their skills and strengthen their communication abilities while assisting a very worthy cause for the community," observed Debra Vest, Assistant Professor of Nursing.
Two nursing faculty from Beckley and a Master's degree nursing student being mentored by the BSC Beckley ADN faculty were also there to assist. "We received very positive feedback from attendees and organizers at the program," Vest continued. "The students enjoyed the experience and Senior Friends' representative Debbie Peyton has invited our students to be involved in future projects of this type." More than 125 flu vaccines were given during the activity.

Yackandandah stands in the foothills of Victoria's High Country not far from Albury-Wodonga. The local bush hospital now operates mainly as a nursing home and approached Tom Millar to direct a Community Arts Project associated with the building of the new Spiritual Garden. This involved one large panel mural and multiple tile works which were grouped around the gardens. Being a small town, many sections of the town community were involved in building and creating the art work, hospital residents, family members, staff, volunteers, inmates from Beechworth Prison and year 6 students from a local school.
Chroma Australia donated all Jo Sonja's medium, sealer, varnish and paints for the project. A tile retailer in Albury donated unglazed 300 x 300 mm floor tiles which were first sealed with a 1:1 mixture of Jo Sonja's All Purpose Sealer and Jo Sonja's Background Colours. The mural was painted on fiber cement for durability sealed in the same way.
Tom Milllar painted a double-sided mural at the entrance of the garden to draw visitors into it and screen an unsightly air-conditioning unit from view. The painted image represents two spirits travelling through life, be they swans, friends, or couple, the intertwined nature of the shape indicating the way that relationships can enhance life.
The theme of the garden is Monet's Waterlilies, the project being as much about reflection as about flowers and gardens. Whilst the subject matter delighted the elderly ladies it was more difficult for the primary school children. They produced a very diverse range of subject matter, from places and activities to cups of tea, and overt symbols of faith.
Tom Milllar helped and guided most residents, chatting about the subject matter, interpreting a memory, drawing a scene, and adding finishing touches. Finally the women were overjoyed when their memories took physical form. Over the course of the project, many participants dexterity improved noticeably although they had faced challenges with their eyes, hearing, memory, reach, or their hands. While only a single male resident would try painting, the prisoners from nearby Beechworth, all men, were inventive and carefree artists. They felt it was far better to be painting and contributing to the community by building the garden, than to be back at the prison.

Almost Over :(
I was just thinking about this: man, the season's almost over!! That's pretty sad for me. The offseason is always pretty depressing. Last year wasn't that bad because I had this blog to write about my woes on, but I'm starting to remember what happened last year. Trevor Hoffman's estranglement from the team, Jake Peavy trade talks, my stupid front office. I don't think this offseason is going to be as dramatic, but I'm not ready to be done with Padres baseball.
Over the last month or so, this team has changed dramatically. Jake Peavy was out, rookies were in. As players went on the DL, the kids were called up. And look at that – our future is playing right now. I think this is a glimpse of our future. We've got a ridiculous number of rookies on the team right now, and you know what, it's working. The team won six series in a row before the Diamondbacks broke the streak this week. They've been playing amazingly! They've been getting hits, rallying back, playing some great defense, stealing bases, playing hard. 2008's team was kind of laid back. They didn't play hard, they didn't fight. These guys are so much different than anything we've seen in the last few years. Sure, they've made mistakes, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.
This team has been so much fun to watch. I couldn't say that last year. We were stressing about not losing 100 games last year. Sure, we were in the cellar for a long time, but that didn't really matter because we were playing great baseball. We were beating great teams. We are playing spoiler really, really well.
This has been fun. I love this team. I love all the little rookies running around. I think this team has some legitimate Rookie of the Year candidates.
I just hope we can finish out the season well. It's been an up-and-down season, but I hope we can finish it on a good note. Overall, it's been a great season. We've got a wonderful glimpse of the future, and I think we're going to be a great team next year.
That's what I'm going to have to look forward to all offseason: My 2010 San Diego Padres!!
I got a special suprise in the mail this week:
A Heath Bell autographed ticket from our own Cat! It was sooo cool!! Thank you so much, Cat!!
Today the Padres will start their four game series against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Tim Stauffer is pitching tonight against Charlie Morton.
5 Comments
Kaybee, you are welcome. I will always look for Padres autographs for you. They are a nice group of guys. I know you are proud of them.
Thre is a posiblitly that I might go see my Dodgers at San Diego. I'll let you know if not I'll go the other route for ykw.
Kaybee: I love little rookies. They always provide a spark. Like my Cervelli the other day….I hope my Yankees go all the way this year, because then the offseason will be shorter. And I just want them to win🙂
Cat is the sweetest. I love her! -Virginia
Kaybee – it is so hard to believe that the season is almost over. When it began we all thought – it's okay – we can lose that one, it is early in the season. It's not so early in the season any more, is it? I know the Padres aren't in the playoff hunt – and that is tough. But your guys have had a good season. They have played with heart and a lot of soul. Good luck to them next season.

Melo for GM of the year. See the "Melo is better then Durrant" thread for my reasoning. But yes GG has done a good job in collecting talents of vast quantities for pittance and should be considered
Look I am of course biased towards anyone who is affiliated with The Knicks...but I am also realistic.
I mean as good a job as Woody has done coaching this year Tommy Tibbs, Karl and Spolestra all deserve the nod over him for Coach of The Year
Tyson has been pretty good defensively this year, yet I do not think he even came close to Defensive player of the year
But honestly I do not see anyone as doing a better job in the front office as Glen Grunwald.
At the start of the season this was Mitch Kupchick's award and Billy King was probably 2nd with Glen not even being thought of (outside of us oh so insightful Knick fans of course) but The Lakers have been...enough said!
and Brooklyn has been steady but with Damian Lillard emerging as a possible star and Gerald Wallace (who Portland traded away for the pick that nabbed Lillard) being over payed and out of the rotation, Kris Humphries too got a big contract and has been out of the rotation and neither of their self proclaimed "best backcourt in The NBA" being able to land a spot on The All Star Team, not to mention the firing of their coach just a month in it is hard to consider this a praise worthy front office job by King to say the least.
The Heat were thought to have made this huge splash...but Ray Allen and Lewis have been forgetful this year! The inability to sure up the Center position but rather chase more perimeter players is a head scratcher...now on the court The Heat have been fine, but that's from Pat the Rat's work 2 years ago! They got The Birdman, but Martin is looking like the far better option, plus Birdman still has an open case for Child abuse so he's not the most PR friendly player to have!
Now to Glenny.
In a year without any draft picks he still brought in 2 very solid rookies. not your conventional rookies, but that only further proves my point!
I thought Copeland was a meaningless signing as well as Pablo and both have been huge for us during this streak.
I thought we blew it with not getting Kmart at the start of the season only to nab him on the cheap and he's proving very effective..keeping him out of Mia was huge in terms of the balance in The East!
other off season moves are proving pretty good...I mean Camby did not pan out at all, Steve got a little more money than I am comfortable with but getting Kidd, huge! and regardless of what you feel about Felton, Lin not taking the league by storm and standing out as an elite PG (at least not yet for all you Lin supporters and/or Felton bashers) makes our front office look smart for not matching that tough offer sheet.
JR Smith will get paid this summer, as he absolutely should, but not overpaying last summer was also another smart move and dollar for dollar there has not been any better value from a bench player not on a rookie contract. And the same can be said for Felton; love or hate him, from a GM standpoint any non rookie player averaging more than 3x as many points as millions he's earning is a great value for a team!
Consider it has been as bad a year with injuries as any and we got 50 wins when a lesser put together squad would be fighting for a playoff spot right now.
Now some of the credit goes to Woody of course, but Glenn has set the squad up beautifully.
Thoughts? any possible GM of year I am forgetting?

Melo for GM of the year. See the "Melo is better then Durrant" thread for my reasoning. But yes GG has done a good job in collecting talents of vast quantities for pittance and should be considered
You have to consider Ujiri out in Denver and Gary Sacks of the Clippers. Glen did a great job with what he had to work with but Ujiri and Sacks have assembled teams that can compete for years while Grunny has at most a two year window.
lol at the Heat...so allen has made the heat bench scoring from a liability to a strenght...rashard lewis has been good the pass games...and if the heat get an injury the have deep till the 13 players...also the birdman has been better than kmart(for miamis need) i wanted kmart to the heat but seing the way anderson has played he is a better fit, becaue of his lenght...kmart is a better player but miami needed lenght...also pat riley did not win EOTY in 2010 nor 2011 so he is due to win this year just like spoalstra is due to win COTY, since everybody have been so hard on him, including me, he has done a fabolouse job in miami offense and the defense has been great the past 3 year...best record in the nba and have won games without the big 3...cant say the same about woodson...
^ You're in the wrong side of town homie.
A lot of pressure on Miami, so worry about your team and don't stress our 3pt shooting and JR's crossovers.
That don't even mean anything.
Miami played the Bobcats, 76ers, Bucks, Wizards, and Hornets. All lottery teams.
The win against a Ginobili-less spurs was decent.
in between that, a double digit loss to the Knicks.
Knicks been playing injured all season.
You better hope the Knicks stay injured or Miami's worst nightmare will become a reality. If Miami doesn't win a championship this year except big changes and a complete overhaul of the team.
Why would a Heat fan sign up for a Knicks forum?
Pat Riley admired Glen Grunwald offseason achievements of putting a ROSTER together to go 7 hard games in the 2012-13 postseason with the championship Miami Heat.
it was up to Woody & Melo (Dolan's Goldenboy) to get the ROSTER on the court ....
NO! the two didnt do a good job, although, the two gave the team some decent achievements ....
1) Winning Atlantic Division Title,
2) 50+ win season
3) JR top candidate 6th man award,
4) Melo challenging the 3 season scoring champ (Durant) down to the final games for the scorer title.
Grunwald did an award winning job for the 2012-13 Knicks season, its to bad Glen forgot it was the "LinSanity-Era" that got him a contract at the end of the season...
We had you down double digits every game this year and one time being right smack in the midst of that win streak...Woody is my man, but poor coaching lost that one game for us, you guys had/have nothing for a healthy Stat and that was showing in the game we lost to you but Woody pulled him way too early!
we also beat you without Melo and Amare, and Shump at home by 20...say what you want about you guys not playing your best ball at that point that type of loss should never occur with your talent level...that doesn't translate to your team being bad just shows that The Knicks aren't at all afraid to go toe to toe with Miami
But back to the point at hand...Pat Riley did not do anything special this off season...hey like Bron said at that press conference you can put just about any talent around that core (Wade Lebron Bosh) and they will be successful
Battier is the most valuable player outside of the Big 3, followed by Chalmers and Haslem...you did nothing this year that made you better than you already were...the dominance is that intense amount of talent gelling
You sign Andersen and not KMart? Say what you want about team needs...KMart is hands down the better player and polygraph Pat Riley (and anyone in your organization) and it will show they are lying if they said they'd rather Andersen! One is a role hustle role player one is a leader role player
Riley deserved GM of year 2010 but not even in conversation this year! Ray Allen and Mike Miller is tedious, why get Lewis when you have Battier again all this without a bonafied Center or backup PG (Cole is a undersized SG)
Building around your Big 3 could be done by just about anyone

New signings
Posted 05 January 2013 - 11:03 AM
Swinton have signed six players on dual registration from Warrington.
Brad Dwyer, Ryan Shaw, Danny Bridge, Gene Ormsby, Jordan Burke and Gavin Bennion will all make their debuts against Salford on Sunday at the Salford City Stadium (2pm).
"They are all quality players who have come through the ranks at Warrington and we are delighted to have them on board," said coach Steve McCormack.
Dwyer, 19, is a hooker who made nine appearances for Warrington's first team last season, eight as a substitute.
Shaw, 20, is a former England academy centre who has had spells at Castleford and Leigh.
Bridge, 20, is the brother of Warrington half-back Chris. He plays front or back row. He began his career at Waterhead before joining the Wigan academy in 2009 and represented England at both under-15 and under-18 levels.
Ormsby, 20, is a winger while full-back Jordan Burke, 21, skippered the Warrington Under-20s last season and made his first team debut in the Challenge Cup against Keighley.
Bennion, 20 is a front or back row forward who started out at Latchford Albion and played in England's Academy tour of Australia in August.
Brad Dwyer is the one that should really make us all smile and more importantly give us that fast scrum half we`ve all been hoping for.

We just need the application for Agecroft to be submitted to top it all off.First two weeks in January Paul Kidd said at the shirt launch.
To be frank, this is getting like the music hall joke: - "How do you keep an idiot in suspense? I'll tell you tomorrow!".
The Kidd version is: "How do you keep Swinton supporters in suspense? Tell them something big's going to happen on Agecroft in the next month or two."
This formula has been stuck to now for 7 years.

Shumlin to buy more East Montpelier landFile photo
Gov. Peter Shumlin
EAST MONTPELIER — In a complex land deal that he says is still under negotiation, Gov. Peter Shumlin is on the verge of expanding his real estate holdings in East Montpelier.
Shumlin on Tuesday afternoon said he plans to buy a 16-acre tract next to the 27 acres he purchased in June. But, as was the case with that previous purchase, the latest deal is anything but conventional.
"It's complicated, and I don't want to go into too much of (the seller's) personal finances," Shumlin said. "All I can tell you is we will work it out in the coming weeks."
Shumlin addressed the looming transaction after the Vermont Press Bureau on Tuesday uncovered a mortgage deed on file at the East Montpelier town office. In it, a man named Jeremy Dodge appears to sign over 16 acres and a house to Foster Road LLC — the same limited liability company that Shumlin used to purchase the 27-acre parcel June 11.
Shumlin said the deed doesn't sign over the property to his LLC but rather functions as a lien designed to safeguard the $23,000 that Shumlin said he loaned Dodge in anticipation of purchasing the land.
"My intention is to buy the property," Shumlin said. "If something fell apart, I'm protected because I have that claim against the property."
According to town records, Dodge's property had been scheduled to go up for tax sale following years of unpaid taxes. Shumlin said he gave Dodge the money he needed — $23,000 — to cover his taxes and other liabilities while the two men work out a deal for the entire property.
Shumlin said he entered into the transaction after Dodge came to him seeking help to avoid the tax sale. Town listers in East Montpelier have valued the Dodge property at $233,700.
"I'll be honest with you, I don't believe in buying things at tax sale," Shumlin said. "It's not something I like to do, because the homeowner … can get displaced from their home without getting any financial benefit."
Shumlin said the $23,000 will count toward the final purchase price. Though the mortgage deed on file in East Montpelier references a "purchase and sale agreement entered into by and between Jeremy Dodge and Foster Road LLC," Shumlin said they haven't actually settled on a purchase price.
"The details have to be finalized," Shumlin said. "The only thing I've done is paid the property taxes and have a mortgage against the house."
According to the mortgage deed, Shumlin's claim on the property will be rendered null and void if Dodge repays the $23,000. However, Shumlin said that's a moot provision, since he's going to buy the whole parcel anyway.
Shumlin said his loan to Dodge is interest free and that, despite the fact that he plans to close on the property within "the next six weeks," he is going to allow Dodge to remain in his house rent free until at least July.
"I'm not making any money off him, let's put it that way," Shumlin said.
Dodge, 52, appears to have had a tumultuous past year. In April 2011, he was charged with aggravated domestic assault and held for lack of $25,000 bail for allegedly attacking a woman at her residence.
He later pleaded guilty to felony trespass of an occupied residence and misdemeanor domestic assault. He was sentenced to one to three years in prison on the unlawful trespass charge and is currently on supervised release.
Shumlin said he was unaware of the specifics of Dodge's run-in with the law but that he's "aware he's had real challenges with drugs and alcohol."
"He has the struggles and challenges that many addicts face in Vermont," Shumlin said. "All I can tell you is that when he is sober, and I've never seen him not sober … he's a perfectly functional member of the community."
The Vermont Press Bureau was unable to find a contact number for Dodge on Tuesday.
Municipalities resort to tax sales as a means of recovering outstanding tax bills on properties. In a tax sale, the landowner's tax liability is assumed by the highest bidder, who in turn receives the deed on the property. The original landowner has one year to void the deed by paying off the tax debt, plus interest, to the winning bidder. But Shumlin said the financially struggling landowners often make out terribly in those deals.
"All the town wants is to get its taxes and penalties and interest they're owed," Shumlin said. "The property owner has a year to pay it off with interest, and then if they don't (pay it back) the person who purchased it gets the property for just the (unpaid) property taxes."
Shumlin said he felt it would be a better deal for both him and Dodge if they avoided the tax sale. If the property went to tax sale and Dodge "hadn't been able to redeem in the next year," Shumlin said, "he would have lost his house and not gotten a penny out of it."
"I didn't think that was a very fair situation for him," Shumlin said. "I didn't want to do that."
Shumlin's previous East Montpelier land deal became the subject of intense media scrutiny last week when municipal records revealed he had purchased for $35,000 a parcel that was later valued by town listers at $147,000. The governor is building a 2,200-square-foot home on that lot.
Shumlin said the favorable price was part of a win-win deal brokered between him and four close friends.
Shumlin said he initially wanted to buy the whole of a roughly 182-acre farm off a rural back road in East Montpelier and negotiated a purchase and sale agreement with the sellers, John and Ellen Riley, in anticipation of doing so.
When he showed his find to close friends visiting from out of state, Shumlin said, they were immediately taken with the farm.
He said they pleaded with him to give up the purchase and sale agreement and that they would in exchange "peel off a small piece of land and sell it to me, at a reasonable price, and that's how we got where we are."
The friends are contributors to Shumlin's re-election campaign.
"We were both given gifts," Shumlin said Thursday. "I chose not to buy the farm that I was planning to buy, at their pleading, and they sold me a piece of land at a very fair and reasonable rate. We all won."
