Shumlin land deal gone sour could come to a headJuly 15,2013
By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau
MONTPELIER – The winding saga of Peter Shumlin and his land deal gone sour could reach its denouement as early as this week, when the embattled governor is expected to find out one way or another whether a resolution is finally in the offing.
It's been more than a month since Shumlin and Jeremy Dodge enlisted a pair of well-known lawyers to mediate a high-profile dispute over their now-infamous real estate transaction. Shumlin last fall bought for $58,000 an East Montpelier homestead later valued by town listers at $140,000; the terms of the deal fell under a microscope in May when Dodge went public with his seller's remorse.
Both sides have since gone quiet as lawyers for both men try to negotiate a resolution. Jerry Diamond, the former three-term attorney general hired by Shumlin to handle the dispute on his behalf, said that resolution could be arriving very soon.
"We have reviewed a number of options," Diamond said Monday. "And we should know something by the middle of this week as to whether any of those options are going to be acceptable."
Diamond wouldn't specify what those "options" included, other than to say both sides have put proposals on the table. Dodge's lawyer, Brady Toensing, a longtime political operative with close ties to Republicans both in Vermont and Washington, D.C., declined to comment for this story.
People close to the talks say one option would see Dodge reclaim ownership of his home, and a large portion of his land, without having to repay any of the approximately $30,000 Shumlin has paid out thus far.
Shumlin had previously offered to void the purchase-and-sale agreement only if Dodge agreed to repay the money over time.
Shumlin continues to defend the deal as a fair one for both buyer and seller. Dodge owed more than $17,000 in back taxes at the time of the sale, and Shumlin said he spared his neighbor from a looming tax sale at which the property could have been auctioned off for far less than what he was wiling to pay for it.
Critics, meanwhile, have the governor of exploiting a desperate neighbor for his own personal gain. Dodge' children say their father, 54, was mentally unfit to understand the terms of the deal offered by Shumlin. Dodge did not have a lawyer to represent him in the transaction, something for which Shumlin has come under especially pointed criticism.
Under the original purchase-and-sale agreement, Dodge was contractually obligated to be out of the property by July 15.
Diamond said Monday that the date has since been changed to Aug. 15. Diamond declined to speculate about what might happen next if the parties can't negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.

Woman sentenced for stealing identity of homicide victim
Police: Graville tortured, killed
A Fort Atkinson woman whose son was charged with killing his autistic half-brother has been sentenced to a year for using the victim's public assistance benefit.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported 49-year-old Laura Robar pleaded no contest to two counts of identity theft Monday.
She's accused of using a Quest card belonging to 27-year-old Matthew Graville within weeks of his death to buy groceries.
Prosecutors have accused Graville's half-brother Jeffrey Vogelsberg of regularly torturing and finally killing him in Mazomanie last July.
Robar wasn't related to Graville but helped with financial affairs.
Dane County Judge Julie Genovese said Robar's crime exceeded the misusing of benefit. She said Robar likely knew Graville was gone at the time.
Vogelsberg is due in court in May where Robar may testify.

Man makes fire !
Of all the fly fishermen and spectators going to visit the park this year, enjoying and viewing beautiful scenes of the smokey mountains "Nature's Sanctuary" , I rejoice in the opportunity and pleasure we still have in being able to take part in something so spectaculiar. But as beauty is quite prevalent, so is humanity. Although we might not rejoice in hearing that we are sometimes parasites to nature, laying down trash from our own inconvience and exhaustation of the moment, we debris the countryside for years to come in a matter of minutes. All I ask of the visitors in this moment when you are hiking that trail and have that plastic bottle or other forms of trash, tackle, food containers, is that you take that one moment of inconvience and be convienant to nature and DECIDE to take the time to put it in your pack or pocket, or hold on to it until you get to your vehicle. If you have ever been in a fraternity or a large group of people ... you know the power of numbers.... it astonishing. 1 leads to another, 1 leads to the solution to our problem. We may debris the grounds we spend time on, but unlike any other animal we have the ability , the intuition, to decide to pick this stuff back up, even if it's not our own trash, it is all our problems! Man makes fire, surely we could have the intuition to pick up alittle trash !
God bless, Phil

Re: Man makes fire !
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Re: Man makes fire !
Evidently, it dosen't work that way. I hiked into one of my favorite Tellico streams last fall, only to find a gazillion minature candy bar wrappers & the assorted beverage containers
I only have an high school education, here's my thought, aren't those containers/wrappers lighter after the contents have been removed, thus, they should be no problem to carry out if that person went to the trouble to carry them in :-/
Seriously, do they gain weight after the content's have been removed? I'd like to get my hands on them
Of course, i'm sure the folks that do this sort of thing never read these columns & we, as caring individuals for such pristine places will always be picking up after them & ranting/raving bout it on forums, yep, i'd like to get my hands on them
Re: Man makes fire !
I agree, there will always be that person that becomes lazy in the smokies, but to all the people that go every year, for the most part, I think the park is respected. It's just the powerful few that make there mark on nature. Let us not be discouraged that we have to pick up after them..... it's sad that they pollute the earth, but even I have the urge to litter, I just don't listen to that urge. Take the problem into your own hands, it's no big deal, just pick up the trash you see, call it your good deed for the day, call it whatever you want , whatever it takes to make you pick up that trash and make the place more beautiful, well put man, it stinks that people litter, but we still have the ability to pick the stuff up!
God bless, Phil

Vandals struck several targets in Melrose on July 18. A Melrose Police Department truck was one of the vehicles vandalized.
By Tonya Fennell: CNJ Staff Writer
Melrose is considering imposing a juvenile curfew in response to an overnight vandalism spree that targeted the vehicle of the town's high school principal and several of the town's emergency units.
Parents could be fined up to $500 if their children are unaccompanied by an adult in a public place after designated hours, according to an ordinance proposed at a July 13 Melrose Village Council.
The council will voted on the proposal at its August meeting.
The brunt of the $11,500 in damage reported July 18 was to a white 1995 model Chevrolet pickup truck owned by Melrose High School Principal James Widner. Widner said the vandals shattered every window and mirror on the truck and beat dents into the vehicle with two metal pipes he keeps in the bed of the pickup.
"There were over 70 hits to the truck," Widner said. "It's pretty obvious to me it was a violent crime."
Since the vehicle is only covered by liability insurance, Widner said he will have to take out a bank loan for repairs. The principal said the incident caused emotional stress to his wife and has left him feeling angry.
"It's not the pickup truck," Widner said, "it's the fact that someone could do this."
Melrose Chief of Police Mike Trammell said two juveniles were charged in connection with the vandalism, which occurred at about 4:30 a.m. The juveniles were released to their parents, Trammell said.
Melrose Mayor Lance Pyle said the small, close-knit community responded with fear and disgust to the incident.
"I got over 25 phone calls (regarding the vandalism)," Pyle said. "In light of recent events something had to be done."
The ordinance states parents will be responsible if a child, age 18 or under, is out from midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends or 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. weekdays.
"Parents have to be held accountable," Pyle said.
Pyle said he understands some parents may be upset by the ordinance.
"I have a job to do," he said, "so, I'm not worried because I am trying to improve this town."
Widner has lived in Melrose for 13 years and served as high school principal for nine years.
"I grew up here and I like it here," he said. "I think they (vandals) just don't understand the traditions and customs of our small town."
Trammell said the damage to Widner's vehicle was not a random act of violence.
"It was retribution," Trammell said, "when I looked at it (vehicle) I saw hatred."
Trammell said the vandals also broke several windows at local businesses, shattered the windows in a police unit, vandalized a residence and scarred the windshield of a fire truck.
Pyle has asked five residents to serve on a law enforcement committee to make recommendations to the Melrose Village Council regarding local issues.
"We (Melrose) are a family," Pyle said. "We want everyone to get involved."
The mayor has also hired an additional law enforcement officer and spearheaded a neighborhood watch program.
"This is a community problem," Pyle said, "and we want it stopped."

Essential oils enter the body in three ways. They can be:
Essential oils can be applied topically to the skin. Common examples include applying a blend that contains black pepper (Piper nigrum) or ginger (Zinziber officinalis) essential oil to reduce arthritis pain and improve flexibility, or applying German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) essential oil to treat eczema.
How does this work? Our skin is somewhat permeable. The active chemicals in essential oils are absorbed just like the ingredients in common pharmaceuticals such as hormone replacement therapy cream and nicotine patches.
Different factors can affect the absorption of essential oils through the skin. If you massage the area first, it will increase circulation to that area, thereby causing an increase in absorption of essential oils. Heat will likewise increase circulation and thus enhance absorption.
Some researchers report that essential oils may be more readily absorbed from skin locations with greater concentrations of sweat glands and hair follicles, such as the genitals, head, soles, palms, and armpits (Battaglia, 2003).
Another way that essential oils enter the body is inhalation through the nose or mouth. Common examples include inhaling eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globules, E. radiate, or E. smithii) essential oil when you have a cough or inhaling peppermint (Mentha piperita) essential oil to reduce fatigue or nausea. (Note: Often, essential oils are put into a diffuser for inhalation. The section How Do I Choose and Use Essential Oils? [1] describes this in more detail.)
The olfactory system includes all physical organs or cells relating to, or contributing to, the sense of smell. When we inhale through the nose, airborne molecules interact with the olfactory organs and, almost immediately, the brain.
Molecules inhaled through the nose or mouth are also carried to the lungs and interact with the respiratory system. Thus, inhaled essential oils can affect the body through several systems and pathways.
During inhalation, odor molecules travel through the nose and affect the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system, which is commonly referred to as the "emotional brain."
The limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance (Higley & Higley, 1998). This relationship helps explain why smells often trigger emotions. Knowing this, we can hypothesize how inhalation of essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects!
"Smell is a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived." Helen Keller
The third way that essential oils enter the body is by ingestion (swallowing). Oral ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended for the general public because a great deal of essential oils knowledge and expertise is necessary for safe practice.
The ingestion of essential oils is not common practice in the US. In France, it is more common, but only when specially trained physicians and pharmacists prescribe and dispense them. There are several reasons for caution, including the following:

Agenda Committee
Academics Revenue Possibilities: Draft for Discussion Don Bantz 11/11/02
(From Budget Information Packet handed out at the Faculty Retreat 2002)
1.Continuing Education
Historically, summer school generates annual net revenue equal to 1.8% of the Academics budget; total Summer '02 credit-hour count was about 17,000 (Summer '01, 16,000 credit hours). The best prospect for expanding summer school revenue is Continuing Education (CE) i.e., non-matriculating credit or non-credit courses. We appear to be the only 4-year college in Washington that does not offer CE. While it does stray from our core mission, it can provide a steady revenue stream to the college (cash cow is the term used by other colleges). There will be workload impacts on Registration, but they are receptive to adding CE. We need to find alternatives to narrative evaluations for CE coursework.
Examples of CE courses: >2-5 day intensive workshops on Photoshop, Premiere, Final Cut >Pro, etc., high school camps e.g., >a 2)2Youth Digital Media >camp, MPA certificate courses in management (could be a pilot CE program), Evergreen 101 for new staff, faculty, etc. Also, there appears to be a large market and high demand for MIT certification and endorsements; we hope to start in Summer '03. Teaching teachers is closely aligned with our mission and could be done, relatively seamlessly, within our current administrative structure. Realistically, with the scarcity of existing space e.g., competition with Conference Services, we anticipate modest expansion in Summer school '03 with greater expansion targeted for Summer '04 when SEM II is available.
2. Curricular Management
Our pedagogy- and classroom configurations- delimit seminar sizes no larger than 25. Yet, during the past two years, we have lost 9.5 faculty lines due to budget cuts; thus we know we must do a more efficient job of curriculum management by creating more credit hours per faculty line. Tom has already, out of necessity, taken several steps to do this. Continued budget pressure means that we need to continue to explore other options e.g.,
- Offer more Evening and Weekend classes that generate higher credit hours per faculty lines
- Give the graduate programs a mandate to be net revenue generators e.g., all expenses covered by each graduate program creating incentives for directors to manage their resources more efficiently. Revenues to include: State GF, Tuition (they can now raise it to maximum), Fund raising, Earned income. We have already met with the grad directors and they appear to be receptive to doing so.
3. Organizational re-configurations (cross-divisional work).
CE fits well with the structure of summer school but needs to be offered year round. Currently, we have two separate structures for Summer school and Evening and Weekend Studies (EWS). Some colleges combine these three (summer school, evening and weekend studies, and CE) under one administrative structure. CE could be run off-state budget to give it more flexibility, less constraints, and more entrepreneurial impetus. Should it be combined with Summer school as one entity to reduce overlap and redundancy
Cross-divisional re-configuration possibilities also need to be examined including better asset acquisition alternatives e.g., computers, vans, books, copying/printing etc.
4. Platinum Gold Conference Center. Arrange financing (through reserves, grants, private financing and or COP) to built a modest conference center on campus (how about the old soil reclamation site on Driftwood?) and, through charge backs, cover the mortgage and maintenance payments plus a profit. NOTE: SEM II is attempting to achieve a "Gold" rated building standard (with respect to "green" building design); Platinum is the ultimate green building standard.
5. Establish a for-profit corporation to a) purchase equipment and lease it back to the college
b) purchase real estate and get into the downtown real estate investment/asset accumulation business and c) pursue "Earned Income" activities e.g., providing media services, farm products etc. to the general community; and then there's that bottled water idea. Obvious risks, needs good management but most colleges have some version of this; too much might raise the "YMCA competing with private enterprise" issue.

- Abstract
- Successfully reproducing the galaxy luminosity function (LF) and the bimodality in the galaxy distribution requires a mechanism that can truncate star formation in massive haloes. Current models of galaxy formation consider two such truncation mechanisms: strangulation, which acts on satellite galaxies, and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback, which predominantly affects central galaxies. The efficiencies of these processes set the blue fraction of galaxies, fblue(L, M), as a function of galaxy luminosity, L, and halo mass, M. In this paper, we use a galaxy group catalogue extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to determine fblue(L, M). To demonstrate the potential power of these data as a benchmark for galaxy formation models, we compare the results to the semi-analytical model for galaxy formation of Croton et al. Although this model accurately fits the global statistics of the galaxy population, as well as the shape of the conditional LF, there are significant discrepancies when the blue fraction of galaxies as a function of mass and luminosity is compared between the observations and the model. In particular, the model predicts (i) too many faint satellites in massive haloes, (ii) a blue fraction of satellites that is much too low, and (iii) a blue fraction of centrals that is too high and with an inverted luminosity dependence. In the same order, we argue that these discrepancies owe to (i) the neglect of tidal stripping in the semi-analytical model, (ii) the oversimplified treatment of strangulation, and (iii) improper modelling of dust extinction and/or AGN feedback. The data presented here will prove useful to test and calibrate future models of galaxy formation and, in particular, to discriminate between various models for AGN feedback and other star formation truncation mechanisms.

2012: The English Wikipedia, Reddit and an estimated 7,000 other smaller websites coordinate a service blackout to raise awareness against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). The protests were based on concerns that the bills, intended to fight copyright infringement arising outside the United States, contained measures that could harm online freedom of speech, websites and Internet communities.
2011: Sargent Shriver, the husband of Eunice Kennedy Shriver who served in both the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson administrations, dies at the age of 95 in Bethesda, Maryland. Shriver was the driving force behind the creation of the Peace Corps and founded the Job Corps, Head Start and other programs as the architect of Johnson's "War on Poverty" in the 1960s. He also served as the United States Ambassador to France and was George McGovern's running mate in 1972 as the Democratic Party's nominee for vice president, replacing Thomas Eagleton, who had resigned from the ticket.
2010: Author Robert B. Parker, best known for his crime novels about private detective Spenser, dies of a heart attack at age 77 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Parker's Spenser novel series was developed into the television series "Spenser: For Hire" in the 1980s. He also created the character Jesse Stone, a troubled LAPD detective who becomes a police chief in a small New England town, who has been played by Tom Selleck in a series of TV movies.
2008: Georgia Frontiere, the majority owner and chairman of the NFL's St. Louis Rams and the most prominent female owner in a league historically dominated by men, dies of breast cancer at the age of 80 in Los Angeles, California. Frontiere had inherited a 70 percent ownership stake in the then Los Angeles Rams upon her husband's death in 1979. During her three decades in control of the team, she relocated it to her hometown of St. Louis in 1995 and saw the Rams win a Super Bowl title in 2000.
2005: The Airbus A380, the world's largest commercial jet, is unveiled at a ceremony in Toulouse, France.
1997: Boerge Ousland of Norway becomes the first person to cross Antarctica alone and unaided.
1996: Citing irreconcilable differences, Lisa Marie Presley files for divorce from Michael Jackson in New York after barely 20 months of being married.
1991: Eastern Airlines shuts down after 62 years in business due to financial problems.
1990: Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry is arrested for crack cocaine use and possession in a sting operation by the FBI and D.C. Police. Although he was charged with three felony counts of perjury, 10 counts of misdemeanor drug possession, and one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to possess cocaine, he would be convicted of only one of the drug possession charges. That summer he decided not to seek re-election and in October 1990 was sentenced to six months in federal prison.
1986: A cover version of "That's What Friends are For" recorded by Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder as a benefit for American Foundation for AIDS Research hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song would spend four weeks on top of the chart and make $3 million for the cause.
1983: The International Olympic Committee restores Jim Thorpe's Olympic gold medals to his family. Thorpe won the medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon at the 1912 games, but they were stripped after it was found he was paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics.
1980: Actor Jason Segel, known for his TV work in "How I Met Your Mother," "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared" and for movie roles in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "I Love You, Man" and "The Muppets," is born in Los Angeles.
1978: The roof structure of the Hartford Civic Center collapses after a heavy snowfall just hours after the University of Connecticut men's basketball team defeated the University of Massachusetts. Nobody was injured and the building was heavily renovated and re-opened on Jan. 17, 1980.
1977: Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control announce that they had sufficient laboratory evidence to implicate a previously unknown strain of bacteria as the cause of Legionnaire's Disease, now named Legionella pneumophila. An outbreak of the potentially fatal infectious disease in Philadelphia in 1976, largely among people attending a state convention of the American Legion, led to the name "Legionnaires' Disease." After the bacteria causing the illness was named, the name of the illness was changed to legionellosis.
1975: The TV sitcom "The Jeffersons," focusing on George and Louise Jefferson, an affluent black couple living in New York City played by Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford, premieres. The show was launched as a spin-off of "All in the Family," on which the Jeffersons had been the neighbors of Archie and Edith Bunker. The show would run through June 25, 1985, lasting 11 seasons and a total of 253 episodes.
1974: A Disengagement of Forces agreement is signed between the Israeli and Egyptian governments, ending conflict on the Egyptian front of the Yom Kippur War.
1974: The TV series "The Six Million Dollar Man," starring Lee Majors as Steve Austin, a former astronaut with bionic implants working as a secret agent, premieres. The show would run for five seasons, turning Majors into a pop culture icon of the 1970s and spawning a spin-off, "The Bionic Woman" with Lindsay Wagner, as well as several television movies featuring both eponymous characters.
1969: Wrestler, mixed martial artist and actor Dave Bautista is born in Washington, D.C. As a professional wrestler in the WWE, he wrestled under the ring name Batista and was a six-time world champion. He's appeared in the movies "The Man with the Iron Fists," "Riddick," "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Spectre."
1967: Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the "Boston Strangler," the murderer of 13 women in the Boston area, is convicted for a series of unrelated robberies and rapes and is sentenced to life imprisonment. DeSalvo's murder confessions have been disputed and there was no physical evidence linking him to the deaths, and since he was killed in prison in 1973, debate continues today regarding which crimes he actually committed.
1964: "I Want To Hold Your Hand" enters the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 45. The first Beatles' song to catch on in the U.S., it would hit No. 1 on Feb. 1 and hold that spot for seven weeks before being replaced by "She Loves You."
1961: Hockey Hall of Fame center Mark Messier, who played 25 years in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, and Vancouver Canucks, is born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He is second on the all-time career lists for regular season points (1,887), playoff points (295) and regular season games played (1,756), and won six Stanley Cups, five with the Oilers and one with the Rangers.
1958: Willie O'Ree, the first black player in the National Hockey League, makes his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins. The Canadian-born winger would also appear in two more games that year, and came back in 1961 to play 43 games, scoring four goals and 10 assists in his NHL career overall. O'Ree spent the majority of his professional hockey career in the minor leagues, winning two scoring titles in the Western Hockey League between 1961 and 1974, scoring 30 or more goals four times.
1957: Three Boeing B-52 Stratofortresses land at March Air Force Base near Riverside, California, becoming the first aircraft to circle the world nonstop. The bombers circled the globe in 45 hours and 19 minutes, using in-flight refueling to stay aloft.
1955: Actor and director Kevin Costner, best known for his roles in "The Untouchables," "Bull Durham," "Field of Dreams," "Dances with Wolves," "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "The Bodyguard," is born in Lynwood, California. Costner won two Academy Awards (Best Picture and Best Director) for "Dances with Wolves" and has also directed "The Postman" and "Open Range."
1954: English actor Sydney Greenstreet, best known for his Warner Bros. films with Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre, including "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca," dies of complications from diabetes at the age of 74 in Hollywood, California.
1952: Actor and comedian Curly Howard (right), best known as a member of the slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges, dies of a massive cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 48 in San Gabriel, California. Howard was born Jerome Lester Horwitz in 1903.
1938: Curt Flood, the All-Star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1960s who became a pioneering figure in the legal attack on baseball's reserve clause that foreshadowed the era of free agents, is born in Houston, Texas. He died at age 59 on Jan. 20, 1997, after developing pneumonia while being treated for throat cancer.
1936: British writer Rudyard Kipling, best known for works of fiction such as "The Jungle Book," "Just So Stories" and "Kim" as well as poems such as "Mandalay," "Gunga Din" and "The White Man's Burden," dies of a perforated duodenal ulcer at the age of 70 in London, England. In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and to date he remains its youngest recipient.

Senate committee charge: Protecting Vt. childrenBy JOSH O'GORMAN
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | March 13,2014MONTPELIER — A Senate panel will review state laws surrounding the protection of children following the alleged murder of a 2-year-old from Poultney.
Word of Dezirae Sheldon's death last month — allegedly at the hands of her stepfather, 31-year old Dennis Duby, who's facing a second-degree murder charge — shocked many across the state. But shock quickly turned to outrage when it was learned the girl's mother, 31-year-old Sandra Eastman, had been convicted of abusing the child in 2013, and the state Department for Children and Families had returned Sheldon to the home shortly before her death.
In response, Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell, D-Windsor, appointed a group of senators to a panel to look at how the state keeps children safe.
"We'd love to say this will never happen again, but I don't think that's the reality," Campbell said Wednesday to the panel, which was convening for the first time. "But, I think we can create policy where we can work to ensure the safety of every child."
The Sheldon case itself is being reviewed and Campbell told the panel its responsibility was not to look at this specific case, but to use it as a jumping-off point to review state policy.
The panel includes Rutland County's senate delegation — Republicans Peg Flory and Kevin Mullin, and Democrat Eldred French — as well as Democratic Sens. Ann Cummings, of Washington County, and Jane Kitchel, of Caledonia County. The panel is co-chaired by Democratic Sen. Richard Sears, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Democratic Sen. Claire Ayer, chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, who Campbell said has done a "tremendous amount of work" on the topic of child abuse.
In a brief statement before the panel, Douglas Racine, secretary of the Agency of Human Services, which includes the Department for Children and Families, appeared to welcome the review.
"There is no function of government that couldn't use more resources, but also, there's no function more important than to provide for the safety of children," Racine said.
Campbell suggested several lines of inquiry, such as learning more about the qualifications needed to be a caseworker for DCF, as well as looking at the high turnover rate of these caseworkers.
Campbell also raised the question of consistency in the way cases are investigated by DCF.
"Very similar cases might be treated differently from one office to another," Campbell said.
For Sears, the panel's charge echoes one given just a few years ago in the aftermath of the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett, of Brookfield, in 2008. In that case, the Senate panel traveled the state taking testimony from residents before proposing what became Act 1 of 2009, with a stated purpose to "increase child sexual abuse prevention efforts, enhance investigations and prosecutions of child sexual abuse, provide sentencing courts with the information necessary to devise appropriate sentences for sex offenders, and improve supervision of sex offenders."
The panel will meet Wednesdays through the end of the legislative session, with this first meeting laying out the groundwork and raising questions for future meetings.
Sears said he would like to discuss the different ways DCF reacts to physical abuse versus sexual abuse. Flory raised the question of confidentiality, and if it impedes the DCF's ability to work with other interested parties, such as schools.
Mullin said he would like to discuss who is allowed to give testimony before a judge during a hearing to determine if a child should be removed from a home.
"I've heard a lot of complaints from grandparents who say their voices aren't being heard," he said.

Does your child need glasses? Take a look at some signs that could mean your child should get his or her eyes examined.
Squinting: If your child is often squinting it could mean he or she is trying to over compensate for poor vision.
Sitting close to the TV or computer: Sitting too close to the television or computer screen, or moving books really close, can signal nearsightedness.
Losing his or her place while reading: If your child loses his or her place while reading, or skips lines, it can be a sign of an astigmatism.
Using a finger to point when reading: While using your finger or a pointer to read can be normal for some kids, especially as they are first learning, it can also signal a vision issue. It could signal amblyopia, which causes words or letters to crowd together.
Rubbing his or her eyes: If your child is often rubbing his or her eyes, this can signal eye fatigue. Eye fatigue can be caused by many things, so his or her eyes should be checked by a doctor to determine the cause.
Headaches: If your child is suffering from frequent headaches it can be a signal of vision issues. Your child could be using extra effort to see correctly to make up for any vision impairments.

Dallas McPherson, That's Why
Dallas McPherson makes a rehab appearance with Rancho Cucamonga in August 2005.
I've been slapping around Matt Hurst of the Riverside Press-Enteprise for losing his objectivity when writing about Ervin Santana, so I won't hesitate to call on the carpet another sportwriter for treating his readers as if they're stupid.
Los Angeles Times sportswriter Bill Plaschke writes in today's column that the Angels won't go to the World Series because they're basically a toothless wonder.
I, too, had been enamored all season with Angels baseball. But watching the Angels lose the first two games to the Boston Red Sox in this division series, it again became apparent that more is needed.
During the last three trade deadlines, more was needed. During this winter, more will be needed.
General Manager Bill Stoneman's resistance to deal for a slugger didn't stop them from winning a division title. But, once again, it's probably going to prevent them from winning a ring.
Once again, it became apparent that this gentle summer brand of Angels baseball is not necessarily the power brand of October baseball.
First off, let's remind Mr. Plaschke who won the World Series last year — the 82-79 St. Louis Cardinals.
The multi-tier playoffs are a crapshoot. This year's NL representative will be either Arizona (90-72) or Colorado (89-73). Many mediocre teams have gone to the World Series since MLB went to this format, and some have taken it all.
But let's specifically address Plaschke's theory that the Angels are on the brink now because they don't have a bunch of power hitters in the lineup.
Scioscia desperately pinch-hitting for his catcher in the middle of an at-bat because he knew of no other way to get the runner home from second base, that's not October baseball.
Vladimir Guerrero getting drilled on the shoulder by a kid who has not thrown one wild pitch in his 106 1/3 career innings but obviously figured no other Angels bat would make him pay, that is not October baseball.
Three extra-base hits in two games, nine runners stranded in scoring position with two outs, that's not October baseball.
The dramatics of David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, that's October baseball.
I wonder if Plaschke is watching the other playoff series, between the Indians and Yankees.
New York has the most powerful hitter in all of baseball, Alex Rodriguez. They also have Hideki Matsui, Bobby Abreu, Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada.
The Yankees were better than Boston in slugging percentage (.463 vs. 444), on-base percentage (.366 vs. .362) and runs scored (968 vs. 867).
Yet the Yankees are down 2-0 to Cleveland.
So much for power equating to "October baseball."
But let's get down to the bottom line, namely the ability to score runs.
Home runs are very pretty to watch, get people excited and make it easier for a sportswriter to find the lead for his story. But if your team hits three solo home runs and loses 4-3 to a team that scored four runs without a dinger, what does it matter? You still lost.
A couple years ago, I came up with a stat I called Run Efficiency. It's a simple concept — take the total number of plate appearances (TPA) by a team's offense in a year and divide it by the total number of runs scored (R). TPA/R = how many batters a team has to send to the plate to generate a run.
I compared the Red Sox this year to the Angels, and here's what I came up with:
Red Sox 7.41
Angels 7.54
That's a difference of .13 batters, hardly of significance.
So basically Boston had to send 7.4 batters to the plate to generate a run, while the Angels had to send 7.5 batters. The two offenses are pretty much equally productive.
Plaschke goes on to write:
You want postseason homers? Despite its reputation for purely smart baseball, that 2002 team also hit postseason homers.
Troy Glaus — why did they dump him again? — had seven homers. Salmon had four homers. Adam Kennedy, remember, had three homers in one game.
Why did the Angels "dump" Glaus?!
Dallas McPherson, that's why.
The Angels did not "dump" Glaus. He left via free agency after the 2004 season.
Waiting in the wings was the far more affordable McPherson, who'd just hit 40 homers between Double-A and Triple-A. He was named the Minor League Player of the Year by The Sporting News and Topps. At age 24, he seemed ready for the majors, while Glaus was coming off a string of injuries which suggested a long-term investment in him was not prudent.
Nobody on this planet has a crystal ball that works (even Mr. Plaschke), therefore no one could have foreseen the injuries that would befall Dallas.
In spring training 2005, he missed most of spring training due to back spasms and started the year at Salt Lake to play his way into shape. He returned to Anaheim but continued to suffer, and went on the disabled list July 8 with left hip inflammation. Dallas appeared in a rehab stint with Rancho Cucamonga in August, but realized he couldn't play through the pain so on August 30 he underwent surgery on his left hip. I recall reading an article that winter which said he was in a wheelchair for a month after that surgery, and had to learn how to walk all over again.
McPherson began 2006 at Triple-A Salt Lake to play his way into shape. The season was spent shuttling between Salt Lake and Anaheim, as lower back spasms would keep shutting him down. Dallas hit 17 homers in 56 games for the Bees, and got into 40 games for the Angels. Of his 30 big-league hits, 11 were for extra bases — seven homers and four doubles.
On January 22, 2007, Dallas underwent major surgery to have a central disk herniation removed from his lower back, and shaving of bone spurs. He's spent the year once again trying just to get into some semblance of physical shape.
McPherson played in his first game on September 21, during a fall instructional league game. He was in the lineup at third base, and played the first three innings. In two at-bats, he doubled and grounded out to drive in a run.
In his second game, Dallas homered, walked and singled. Click Here to watch Dallas' homer. (You need Windows Media Player and a high-speed Internet connection to watch the video.)
Instead of pretending Dallas McPherson doesn't exist, Plaschke could at least acknowledge the suffering and dedication it's taken Dallas to get to the point where he can even play competitively.
The Angels had a very good reason for not re-signing Glaus. Fate intervened.
The Yankees traded Wally Pipp after Lou Gehrig played his way into the lineup. If Gehrig's ALS had manifested itself not in 1939 but in 1926, the year after he replaced Pipp, would a time-travelling Plaschke pretend Gehrig never existed?
No doubt Yankees fans of that era would find Plaschke an insult to their intelligence if he had.
Will we ever see Dallas in a major league game again?
Who knows.
But you don't keep your subscribers by treating them as if they're stupid.

Just wanted to thank you for continuing to blog. Your blog posts are a breath of fresh air (in content and general attitude), a relief from the negativity that's all over sites like halosheaven.com and even the OC Register. I'm going to save myself some stress by focusing my baseball interest in reading sites more like this and John Sickels's blog. You guys are a reminder of what makes this sport so great.
Thank you for the compliment … I've never understood why some people think the Internet exists to serve as their own personal toilet. If I'm mad at the Angels, I don't feel the need to spew hatred to the world on some bulletin board. I just turn change the channel or go work on something else.
Having followed the Angels since 1966, I've seen the best and the worst. This is the best era in Angels history. Some people want us to believe it's the worst. Beats me why — which is why I pretty much avoid those fan sites now.
Enjoyed the McPherson video. I live in Utah and have been a fan of DMac since he made his AAA debut. I hope he has a monster spring training and proves all of his critics wrong in 2008!
Stephen: Well it looks like the devils team (how do you explain bad luck for alllll those years and now this!!!) will win the world series (it's not over till the last man's out) can you give us a Dallas update? Also I have been following the Arizona Fall League and the Angels players can you give us a rundown on where other Angels are playing and who their playing for this winter. Thanks for all the hard work!
So. Lake tahoe
I haven't heard anything more about Dallas in the instructs. What happens there isn't reported any place the public can access, unless you happen to be there (which I was).
As for Angels playing elsewhere, about all I can suggest is going to this link:
To be honest, I'm so busy right now trying to wrap up photos and video from this year that I haven't been paying attention to winter ball.
sign barry bonds if price is right Dallas will be back next year sign 1 good starter like Santana from twins and lets win it all

Breaking news: The Crest Gastropub is now baking artisanal pizzas in its wood-fired oven as a once-a-week special. Question: Did you just raise your eyebrows interestedly or shrug your shoulders dismissively? I'd understand either way.
See, since writing about the Crest last May, I've been collared by several Clintonville friends telling me about their experiences in this still buzzed-about establishment. As you might've guessed, the reviews from my pals have been mixed.
Since I hadn't eaten in the Crest for a while — I mostly pop in to sip hard-to-resist half-off happy hour beers — discovering it'd recently initiated nightly specials and rolled out a new menu full of cool-weather comforters, I figured it was time to check out some of these changes.
Among the new additions is the Crest's thick, rich, tomatoey and meatless Shagbark Chili made with a mix of Shagbark beans ($6; definitely recommended, even if my generous serving was missing its menu-promised corn chips). There are also great-reading entrees like a curry with "harvest vegetables," a "fall harvest squash casserole," a braised lamb shank and duck sausage cassoulet.
Another promising development is Monday-Thursday bargains like burgers with fries for $5 on Wednesdays, half-off snacks and appetizers on Mondays and "pie and pint" Tuesdays, when 8-inch handmade pizzas partnered with your brew of choice (so long as it's sold by the pint) are available from 9 p.m. to close for $10. I tried the latter special and can verify it's a damn good deal — and as of now, the only time the Crest serves pizzas.
Those pizzas eat almost as good as they look (in "beerless" form, they're $7 apiece). Mine arrived with attractively blistered, irregular thin crusts showing puffy and toasty edges. Upon closer inspection, those crusts were a tad too-soft in the center and should've been crisper on the bottom.
Of the two combos I tried (four are offered), the namesake Crest tasted great with lamby and zesty merguez sausage, crispy bacon bits, decent pepperoni and good cheeses. The garlicky margherita was also good eatin', even though the Crest's chronic problem — wrong and/or missing menu ingredients — reared its pesky head. Specifically, the promised smoked mozzarella was regular mozzarella and the "oven-dried" tomatoes were just sliced fresh tomatoes.
Service exhibited some similar, non-deal-breaking room for improvement. Specifically, it was personable and efficient until it went MIA for longish stretches.
Will I be back? Yeah, sure. Will the Crest still be a work-in-progress? I wouldn't be surprised.

Testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, "Leveraging Broadband to Help America's Small Businesses Grow"
Thank you, Chair Landrieu, Ranking Member Snowe and members of the Committee for inviting me to this important hearing. I'm honored to be here.
Broadband technology brings extraordinary opportunities to America's small businesses – regardless of industry, size, or geographic location. There are two critical facts to consider when it comes to broadband and small business.
- Small businesses would benefit from broadband being accessible and affordable.
- Better tools and training targeted for small businesses would help maximize broadband's potential.
The immediate challenge is relatively simple: Access to affordable broadband service is not yet available to all small business owners — especially those located in unserved and underserved parts of our country.
Julius Genachowski, talked earlier about the FCC's efforts to construct and implement the National Broadband Plan. The other witnesses from the first panel touched upon the Administration's continuing efforts to ensure that America's broadband infrastructure undergoes the improvements necessary to make it a model for the rest of the world.
Already, the Recovery Act has played an important role in moving us toward that goal. For example, USDA has rolled out a first round of broadband projects in rural areas totaling over $1 billion. Not only will it bring broadband to half-a-million homes, but also nearly 100,000 rural businesses in 31 states and 17 reservations.
We need to continue expanding access and driving down costs, including addressing the fact that small businesses pay over twice as much per employee than large firms for broadband due to magnitudes of scale.
Once they get access to affordable broadband, the challenge lies in adopting the technology and leveraging it to the fullest extent possible, which leads me to the second key area: Small businesses need better tools and training to maximize broadband's potential. This is where the SBA and its partners can play a role.
Consider that about three-fourths of small businesses already have a website, but only about one-fourth are using broadband for e-commerce. That's a big gap when you consider that 60 million Americans go online every day to buy something.
Our resource partners know that small businesses can't just expect to create a work email address or put up a website in order to increase sales. It takes a solid business plan with a comprehensive broadband strategy.
They need to understand how unique broadband innovations not only improve areas like marketing, but also that broadband has a direct impact on other areas such as productivity and operations – from Voice Over IP cell phones that allow them to seamlessly conduct business abroad to online software that allows transparent tracking of deliverables both for their workers and their customers.
That's just one reason why the SBA's resource partners are focusing on increasing digital literacy. We want to broaden the knowledge base of small business owners to include areas such as e-commerce, cloud computing, social media, and much more.
I'll give one recent example. We have a cadre of about 12,000 volunteers who are executives that actively counsel and mentor entrepreneurs and small business owners – SCORE. Earlier this month, SCORE announced a partnership with technology companies that will develop training materials to inform, educate and support small businesses interested in broadband. The SCORE leadership team is working to develop these train-the-trainer materials, and they've already brought on board another one of SBA's resource partners – our 110 Women's Business Centers.
SBA will continue working with all of our resource partners on similar efforts, including the possibility of delivering the products of these partnerships through the Small Business Training Network, using our agency's own broadband capacity.
Overall, small business owners are realizing that a strong broadband infrastructure is not just a good option, but a necessary investment. Partnerships like this can equip them for the future by giving them the right tools, the right information, and, most importantly, the right people to talk to.
As today's hearing clearly shows, broadband access, adoption and utilization can play a critical role in supporting the strongest engine of our economy – small business. SBA and our partners can help small business owners gain the knowledge and skills they need to harness the strength of this powerful new technology. If we can accomplish that, we know that small businesses will grow and create even more good American jobs that will lead us toward economic recovery.
Thank you for your leadership in this crucial area and for holding this important hearing today. I'm now happy to take your questions.

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Dystrophy
- Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
- Muscular Dystrophy, Landouzy Dejerine
General Discussion
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), also known as Landouzy-Dejerine muscular dystrophy, is a neuromuscular disorder. Symptom onset usually occurs in adolescence or early adulthood; however, less commonly, symptoms may become apparent as early as infancy or early childhood.
The disorder is typically initially characterized by weakness of facial, shoulder, and/or upper arm muscles. Associated abnormalities may include an impaired ability to completely close the eyes, limited movements of the lips, and difficulties raising the arms over the head. Affected individuals may also eventually develop weakness and associated wasting (atrophy) of muscles of the hips and thighs and/or involvement of lower leg muscles.
Although the disease course may be variable, FSHD is most typically characterized by relatively slow disease progression. Specific symptoms and findings may also vary in range and severity, including among affected members of the same family (kindred).
FSHD is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. However, in up to approximately 30 percent of affected individuals, there is no apparent family history of the disorder. In some of these cases, FSHD may be due to new genetic changes (mutations) that appear to occur spontaneously for unknown reasons (sporadically).

Many volunteers are ready quit because of feeling underappreciated and how the teachers are comparing their pay against each other.

Then we got into over the curriculum or lack there of when a child needs physical therapy as prescribed by a doctor that a student can do on their own during recess and during phys ed class. When no staff time is needed to assist these students.

Aw man…. you too?
File complaints to Gocomics and let them know your disappointment in the way they treat their paying creators….
Best of luck to you, Marty and Spud on your creative adventures. Wlll you be sharing a bit more info on M&S.com as to the catalyst for this change?
Just Lil Miesters, Marty and Spud are moving to another website. It's been fun hanging with you and your family. Thank you and good bye.
And Charmy's Army
Please understand that our moves were based upon the treatment received from administrators of Sherpa and Gocomics. We are doing what we feel is best for our creations. I am humbled by the fans that have followed me to my new home and understand my decision. If you are wondering why Matt can no longer reply to any of you, it is because Gocomics has decided to block him from posting on his own comic….. on a page that he PAYS to have. He simply reported being harassed by a reader (one I have witnessed many times) and Gocomic's answer to this was to block Matt from commenting on his own page….yet they still have no problem taking his money every month. I have had my own problems with the administration and more specifically the tech support through Sherpa….These are just a few of the problems here and because things just seem to be getting worse…..why give Gocomics our money and time when they treat us like dirt. I do not speak for Matt, I am just telling you what I know in case you are wondering why Matt is not responding to your posts.

Existing Home Sales Dipped In February, But Ran Well Above Pace Of Year Ago
By Mark Memmott • Mar 23, 2012
There was a 0.9 percent drop in sales of existing homes in February from January, the National Association of Realtors reports. But, at an annualized rate of 4.59 million they were still up 8.8 percent from February 2011.
"The market is trending up unevenly," NAR chief economist Lawarence Yun concludes in a statement from the association.
