L'Osservatore Romano via AP, file
The bedroom of the suite at the Vatican's Santa Martha hotel where Pope Francis is living even though renovations on the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace have been completed.
Pope Francis wants to stay for the time being in a simple Vatican residence instead of moving into the spacious and regal papal apartments, the Vatican said on Tuesday.
The former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina is still living in the Domus Santa Martha, a modern hotel-style residence inside the Vatican City where he stayed during the conclave that elected him on March 13.
Although the papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace - which consist of more than a dozen rooms as well as quarters for staff and a terrace - are available, he shows no desire to move in any time soon, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said.
In the past few days Francis has moved out of a single room in the residence, which has some 130 rooms, into a suite so he could have more space to work and to receive people, Lombardi said.
Francis has set a more austere tone for the papacy than his predecessor Benedict XVI, who gained a reputation for sumptuous costumes. Lombardi says the new pope enjoys the residence's community atmosphere where he lives alongside other clergy.

Pope Francis prays with Vatican employees before leading a mass at the Santa Martha chapel at the Vatican on March 23.
The pope says Mass in its chapel every morning and invites Vatican workers and other guests to attend.
"I can't make long-term predictions, but for now it seems he is experimenting with this type of simple co-habitation," Lombardi said.
"It is still a period of getting used to things, of experimentation. Certainly in this phase he has expressed the desire to stay where he is," he said.
Lombardi said the pope will be using the offices in the Apostolic Palace and its grand, frescoed reception rooms to meet heads of state and delegations, and will continue to appear each Sunday to deliver a blessing from the window of the papal apartments overlooking St. Peter's Square.

On June 20, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on the House version of the 2013 Farm Bill. It received a solid trouncing, going down in defeat, 195 to 234. Obviously, the House leadership is challenged with a House majority that defies being led and with an inability to build consensus. A dose of cluelessness, too, as both Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, Collin Peterson, (D-MN) were convinced they had the necessary votes for passage until the vote was actually underway. Blindsided by botched vote estimates, they were dumbfounded watching the best chance for a much anticipated 2013 Farm Bill go down the pipe.
Their big question now is whether to try to rally support (if that is even possible) and recycle it, or just re-up the currently extended 2008 Farm Bill when it expires on September 30. All concerned are licking their wounds and crafting poisonous rhetoric to hurl at each other. Sadly, in the U.S. House, this is what passes as business as usual.
Before the debate, Peterson prophesied the 2013 Farm Bill would be the last of its kind. Given current realities, the 2008 bill will likely hold that dubious distinction. The urban-rural, bi-partisan coalition that scratched each others' backs on food stamp and farm policy issues for several decades has come unraveled. For better or worse, consensus on comprehensive national farm legislation may now be out of reach in the U.S. House.
Small farm dairymen should lose little sleep over all this; the bill's dairy provision, the Dairy Security Act, was weighted heavily in favor of large factory-style dairy operations. U.S. dairymen need a stable, fairly calculated price for their milk, not a federally subsidized dairy margin insurance boondoggle that will merely cover losses.
Dairy margin insurance schemes, served up by the National Milk Producers Federation lobbying for large dairy co-operatives, are no solution for dairy farmers. They don't address the underlying root of the problem: a flawed USDA Milk Price Formula. The current formula relies on data collected on cheese transactions from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. There, less than 1% of total U.S. milk production sets prices for the remaining +99% in a process routinely manipulated to advantage by major milk buyers.
While milk processors should have some say in what they pay for milk, they should not have total say. Since the Reagan administration, U.S. dairy farmers have been systematically short changed on the value of their milk. Before then, when a consumer spent a dollar on dairy products 53 cents of that dollar went to the farmer; currently this has shrunk to about 25 cents, yet proportionately, it costs no more to process or retail dairy products.
A reformed Federal Milk Price Formula—indexed for current cost of production and reflecting prices paid by consumers—would be better for all concerned. Then USDA would referee and enforce carefully crafted rules designed to maintain a level price-discovery playing field between farmers and processors.
The nutritional value of dairy products to the national diet is essential. It is grossly unfair to expect dairy farm families to labor below minimum wage, often no wage at all, to keep dairy product prices low in supermarkets. Taxpayer money should not have to subsidize consumption; consumers pay enough for dairy products. The money is in the marketplace; it simply needs to be fairly distributed to reflect the essential contribution of dairy farmers.
Responsibility for economically priced dairy products calls for equal effort from all involved and should not be arbitrarily dumped on the nation's dairy farmers while dairy processors and grocery retailers continue to chuckle all the way to the bank.
[Wilson, 66, has retired from 40 years of dairy farming on a small hill farm in New York's Chautauqua County. He is a regular contributor to The Milkweed, a national dairy industry monthly.]

text: To prove that they were certifiably insane, three years ago Eric and Julie Comstock, two artists, decided to start their own company. They launched Cosmo Cricket in the summer of 2006 at the Craft and Hobby Association trade show. The idea was to have the best designed paper, really cool embellishments and a lot of fun. Things took off much faster than predicted and the first year was a scramble just trying to keep up. However, now, three years later, they are running like a well oiled machine that only has a few loose bolts.

In a mayoral debate Thursday on PBS, leading candidates for Honolulu Mayor duked it out over everything from rail to rubbish, but the subject of rail ruled the debate for nearly the entire hour.
"We can always build rail better and I'm looking to do exactly that," said Former Honolulu Managing Director Kirk Caldwell.
"Ben's option will keep those cars on the road and that will be catastrophic, so instead of just suffocating traffic it will be annihilating traffic," said Mayor Peter Carlisle.
"My question to the viewers is do you want to pay 5.2 billion dollars or seven billion for something that's going to reduce traffic congestion by 1.4 or 5 percent. Not me," said Former Governor Ben Cayetano.
Even as moderator Dan Boylan tried to move the discussion to the developments of Hoopili and Koa Ridge, or the homeless, Caldwell and Carlisle brought it right back to rail, even with Cayetano giving his stamp approval on the homeless issue.
"We can do better and I think with rail we can build affordable housing," said Caldwell.
"And we can do a good job putting people into the types of housing that they need, particularly with transit-oriented development," said Carlisle.
"Frankly, these guys got good homeless programs, and I can't disagree with them, but what's important is for the city and state to leverage their programs," said Cayetano.
Finally moving off rail, the candidates tried to separate themselves on what to do about a landfill, sewer problems, garbage pickup, and whether to combine EMS and Fire operations.
But allegations over illegal campaign spending by Cayetano in the past, brought about the night's most heated exchange -- Carlisle taking credit for changing the rules.
"The person who did ultimately stop it, you're looking at," said Carlisle.
"Bottom line is, it's not acceptable it's not ok," said Caldwell.
"Come on man," said Cayetano looking at Caldwell. "Look at me. Are you saying I did something wrong?"

Painting honors Bellaire viaduct
BELLAIRE – "Under the Arches" of the Great Stone Viaduct is the name given to the second in the series of watercolor prints of scenes of this historic structure commissioned by the Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society.
The watercolor artist is Joanne Cochran Sullivan, and Paul Cramer owns the post card used for the watercolor painting. Both are trustees of the society, which is sponsoring the watercolor series of prints. The 1910 post card is a photograph of how that area appeared.
One significant change from 1910 is on Union Street where the last pier was lowered to accommodate new reinforced steel girders not a part of the original bridge. The billboard on the arch in the foreground contains a notice of the showing of the movie, "The White Squaw," at the Columbia Theater located on 33rd Street in Bellaire.
This watercolor is free to all charter and sustaining members of the GSV Society, and these will be distributed to each member within the next two weeks. Others wishing to purchase the print should visit the GSV Society website at www.greatstoneviaduct.org where sizes and prices can be viewed before placing an order.
The first watercolor of the series titled, "The Last Train," is still available for those wishing to collect the entire series of watercolor prints and can be ordered online
The Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society is an Ohio non-profit corporation chartered in 2012, and its goal "is to promote the rich local history of the village of Bellaire and surrounding area, and to provide educational opportunities for others to learn and experience that history through a variety of activities sponsored by the society. The society has chosen the 'Great Stone Viaduct' for its name since this iconic stone arcade bridge structure is associated with Bellaire, Ohio, and the rich railroad history of the community."
The board of trustees consists of 12 members who have combined their talents and expertise to forge a solid commitment to meet the challenges, yet accomplish the educational and preservation goals of the society.
Serving on the current board of trustees are attorney Daniel Frizzi Jr., chairperson; Larry Siebieda, vice chairperson; James Cochran, treasurer; Lillian Siebieda, secretary, Paul Cramer, William Kasko, Erica Keller, Jack McKeever, Nancy Derry Merryman, Stanley Stewart, Joanne Sullivan and James Williams.

The 52-year-old Ruiz was vice president of the Three Rivers school board. He had been a board member for almost two decades. He served as vice president of the board for several years, and his three-year term as a school board member was set to expire in May 2015.
In discussing the vacant seat, the board had three options under the law – to appoint someone to it for the remainder of the existing term; to call for a November election to fill this seat (with the term of the winner expiring in May, and a new election then having to be held at that time for that seat); or to leave the seat vacant until the regular election in May.
The vacancy option exists because there is less than a year left on the term of Ruiz's seat, according to a statement issued by the district.
"The board unanimously chose to exercise the third option and leave the seat vacant until May 2015, at which time an election will be held to fill the vacancy," Three Rivers ISD Superintendent Kenneth Rohrbach announced in an email. "The board's rationale for doing this was to honor Gilbert and his dedication to this district and community. Ruiz's family will be presented a token of appreciation at a future board meeting for his years of selfless service on the board."
The trustees discussed this matter at length during their July 29 monthly meeting. Ruiz served on the board for more than 14 years, and he set a fantastic example of what a public servant should be, Rohrbach said.
"He saw his role as a trustee as being one to support the students and teachers of the district in any way possible," Rohrbach said.
During a recent telephone interview, Ruiz's wife, Patty, said her husband took great pride in serving on the school board and helping students.
"He was a very outgoing, friendly guy," Patty Ruiz said. "He did everything he could to help people with fundraisers. And he was always ready to help them cook."
She said anyone who wishes to express condolences to the Ruiz family is encouraged through her email address, email@example.com.

Economic Data Sources
Most of the data that Aaron Smith discussed in his article in this issue, "Which Economic Indicators Matter," can be accessed online, for no charge. Here is a list of the primary websites to visit.
U.S. Department of Labor
A table on the home page of the Labor Department's website lists key employment and inflation statistics. Clicking on any of these data points will call up a page with more detailed information.
The economic data is provided by two divisions within the Labor Department. The first is the Employment and Training Administration (www.ows.doleta.gov). This division has comprehensive data about initial jobless claims and publishes updated data weekly.
The second is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS (www.bls.gov), which publishes the monthly Employment Situation report. This report contains the unemployment rate, payroll employment (also known as nonfarm payrolls), and wages. Statistics on the size of the labor force and the number of discouraged workers can also be found.
The BLS also publishes monthly inflation reports, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Producer Price Index (PPI) and the U.S. Import Price Index. The division's quarterly reports include productivity and U.S. import prices.
Institute for Supply Management (ISM)
The ISM publishes two widely followed reports: the Manufacturing Report on Business (called the ISM manufacturing index) and the Non-Manufacturing Report on Business (called the ISM services index). Both are based on monthly surveys of purchasing and supply executives. Index values above 50 imply expansion in the manufacturing or services sectors and values below 50 suggest contraction.
U.S. Census Bureau
In addition to collecting population data, the U.S. Census Bureau also compiles a variety of economic statistics. This data is used in several monthly reports, including manufactured durable goods, new home sales, housing starts and building permits, retail sales, wholesale trade, construction spending, and manufacturing shipments and inventories.
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
This division of the Commerce Department tabulates quarterly changes in U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and the monthly changes in personal income and spending. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE), a statistic used by economists as a measure of inflation, can be found in both reports.
The BEA also publishes monthly trade deficit data and the quarterly current account deficit.
The Conference Board
The Conference Board's two most widely followed reports are a monthly consumer confidence survey and the monthly Leading Economic Index (LEI), also known as the Leading Indicators Index. The Conference Board also publishes a monthly Employment Trends Index and a quarterly survey of CEO confidence.
Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer confidence survey is published twice a month. The preliminary report is based on the initial responses to the monthly survey, while the final report includes all survey responses tabulated throughout the calendar month.

Jerry from AZ posted over 5 years ago:
I believe all of the above indicators and many more are sent by Jean Roth (firstname.lastname@example.com) daily to your email address for free.
H Stringer from TX posted over 3 years ago:

What is in this article?:
- Selling wheat at harvest not a bad strategy over time
- 10-year period
• The facts tell a different story: Most producers sell in the top one-half of the market.
More About:
Most wheat farmers sell in the bottom one-third of the market. This myth has been repeated often enough over the years that some producers believe it.
But the facts tell a different story: Most producers sell in the top one-half of the market.
Wade Brorsen (also of Oklahoma State University) and I, obtained wheat purchase data from three Oklahoma elevators: an elevator in southern Oklahoma, one in south central Oklahoma, and one in northern Oklahoma.
The elevators provided price information for every wheat purchase from producers for a nine-year period.
The data included date, price, storage, and farm name. The prices farmers received, minus storage and interest costs, were compared to the average price if the producer had sold one bushel every business day for the marketing year (average annual price) and to the harvest prices.
You can check current commodity prices now.
The daily prices were divided into thirds: top third, middle third, and bottom third.
The results showed that nearly 80 percent of the sales were in the upper two-thirds of the price ranges. Approximately 67 percent of the wheat sales were in the upper half of the price ranges. About 52 percent were in the upper one-third of the price ranges.
For these producers, which we believe are representative of all producers, you could say, "most producers sell wheat in the upper one-third of the market."
The 20 percent of sales in the bottom one-third came mostly from wheat that had been left in storage too long.
Current storage cost is about four cents per bushel per month and interest cost is about 3 cents per bushel. Costs to store wheat from June to January equal about 50 cents per bushel.
The University of Illinois conducted a study ("The Performance of Market Advisory Services in Wheat" — Scott Irwin and Darrell Good) comparing the average producer wheat price received to an average price received if producers had followed the advice of market advisory services.
The research was conducted for southwestern Kansas. Results showed the actual price received by southwest Kansas wheat producers was higher than the average of the market advisory services.

text: Hey there, I got my first pp period last week, after 6 months. My supply has gone down drastically! I've heard it will come back up on it's own after my period is done. Is that true? I don't want to run out and get a bunch of stuff to increase and end up not needing it. I'm pumping every 3 hours and drinking lot's of water. It doen't help that it co-incided with my twins increasing thier feed amounts by an ounce each. My goal is to get enough stored to get them to a year. It's so frustrating! I was really hoping to not even have AF back yet. Thanks for any insight!

2-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier with 760 Watts Max. Power
Built-in Crossover (80Hz, LPF)
Selectable Bass Boost (50Hz, 0/6/12dB)
Speaker Level Inputs
Suggested Price: $160.00
CEA2006 Specifications:
A really good amp doesn't just provide power. It also offers options for customizing the sound in your vehicle. The 2-channel GM-5300T provides a selectable 50Hz bass boost and a built-in crossover for fine-tuning your tunes. Plus, it comes with speaker level inputs for easy connection to an OEM headunit.
Selectable 50Hz Bass Boost
Bass boost gives you more control over how your music sounds. It lets you set the optimal bass level for each speaker/sub connected to the GM-5300T, so the tone controls from your headunit can do what they do best. And because this is selectable bass boost, you can set the level at 0dB, 6dB, or 12dB, whichever sounds best to you.
Built-In Crossover (80Hz Low-Pass Filter)
Built into the GM-5300T is a very smart crossover network. It works like a gateway, routing the big bass signals (80Hz or lower, at -12dB/octave) to the speaker that handles them best, filtering out higher-frequency signals to that speaker. This optimizes your system's efficiency and delivers the best possible sound quality.
Speaker Level Inputs
What, you DON'T own a Pioneer headunit? Well, we won't hold it against you. In fact we'll even help you build onto your system. The GM-5300T's speaker level inputs allow you to connect your OEM unit (or any unit that doesn't have the typical RCA-type inputs) without having to buy add-on adapters. S0, the install goes faster, you save money, and you've got a Pioneer amp in your vehicle.

Credit Suisse hires ex-head of sponsors at Barclays
Credit Suisse has hired the former head of sponsors in Europe at Barclays as a managing director in its leveraged finance and sponsors group, at a time when private equity firms have been rushing to dispose of assets.
Matthew Grinnell will be responsible for a number of the bank's most important private equity relationships and will report to Mathew Cestar and Didier Denat, co-heads of the leveraged finance and sponsors group in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, according to a memo seen by Financial News.
A spokeswoman for Credit Suisse confirmed the contents of the memo.
Grinnell joins Credit Suisse from Barclays where he was chairman of the financial sponsors group in Emea. He had previously run the financial sponsors business in Emea at the bank between 2009 and 2013 before being made chairman of the group in a reshuffle late last year.
Having started his career as a fund manager in Hong Kong, Grinnell first joined Lehman Brothers in New York where he worked as a telecoms industry banker. He rose to the role of co-head of the European financial sponsors team at Lehman Brothers, a position he held at the time when the bank went bankrupt in 2008.
Grinnell subsequently joined Barclays in 2009 following a short stint as co-head of the European financial sponsors at Nomura.
It has been a busy year for financial sponsors activity in Europe, with overall investment banking revenues from the sector reaching $2.9 billion for the year-to-date, up 16.2% on the same period in 2013. Credit Suisse is fifth in Dealogic's financial sponsor bank ranking for the region, having taken $195 million in fees.
In June, Anthony Diamandakis, who was a managing director in Credit Suisse's leveraged finance and financial sponsors group, left to join Citi as head of the US bank's alternative assets group which caters to the bank's private equity clients.
Barclays, meanwhile, has relocated Andrew Richards from Hong Kong to join its financial sponsors team in London and hired Marc Chowrimootoo from Bank of America Merrill Lynch as a managing director in its leveraged finance team.
UPDATE: This article has been updated to include Dealogic data on Credit Suisse's revenues from financial sponsors investment banking.

Robson Green stars as Dr. Owen Springer, an upstart English surgeon who finds a new job and lucks into the love of his life--who just happens to be his boss's wife--on Reckless, a deliciously romantic tale written by Paul Abbott (Cracker).
Francesca Annis plays Anna Fairley, the married woman who spurns Owen's every advance until he exposes a compromising secret involving her husband, Dr. Richard Crane, played with exquisite arrogance by Michael Kitchen. The plot thickens as Richard tries to find out who is at the bottom of his marital meltdown.
English critics were charmed by the steamy plot, which The Guardian hailed as "a drama without murder, psychopaths or psychiatrists stealing the scene, just people flinging their clothes off and going with the flow of messy passions."
On a more elevated note, The Sunday Times called it "a wonderfully made and performed modern version of a Georgian love story, with all the bits the Austen-Brontës never got to try because they lived in the country."
Robson Green is England's foremost television heartthrob, evoking auspicious comparison with the young Paul Newman. He's number one on the British pop music charts, too, in the group Robson & Jerome (with fellow actor Jerome Flynn), belting out such old standards as "Up on the Roof," which was a 1960s hit for The Drifters.
Masterpiece Theatre fans will remember Francesca Annis from two other adulterous roles: as Lillie Langtry in the wildly popular series Lillie; and in the title role of the Flaubert classic, Madame Bovary.
One of Britain's leading screen actors, Michael Kitchen, has done noteworthy turns on Masterpiece Theatre as well, appearing in To Play the King, The Buccaneers, Dandelion Dead, and last season's A Royal Scandal.
As the story unfolds, Manchester-bound Owen borrows a cell phone from fellow passenger Anna to call his ailing dad (David Bradley). He is moving in with the feisty old man to keep an eye on his incorrigible working-class ways. This means finding a new job, so Owen applies for a local surgical post and is horrified to learn that he must pass a personality assessment administered by a management consulting firm. Little does he know that the head of this outfit is Anna.
She rates him eminently unsuitable, but he gets the job anyway. His medical colleagues (Conor Mullen and Julian Rhind-Tutt) are convivial enough, but his new boss, Richard, is a pathologically ruthless super-doctor.
Meanwhile, Owen has been nursing a burgeoning crush on Anna--older and happily married to be sure, but the sexiest woman he has ever met. It seems a bit of a coincidence when she turns out to run the psyche-rating firm, but he is already deeply in love by the time he learns she is Richard's wife. No matter, he decides, and keeps chipping away at her crumbling defenses.
She is his at last when he discovers a secret liaison between Richard and an officious hospital administrator (Daniela Nardini). Anna learns the news through a cleverly designed trap, and the unfaithful Richard gets locked out of the house. Now it is his turn to crumble--into self-pity, blame-seeking, and a thirst to destroy his suspected rival...whoever he is.
"There could be trouble ahead," cautions The Sunday Times "and a lot of people will want to witness it."

Our Neurology Residency program offers six Neurology positions at each of the PGY-2 through PGY-4 levels. Preliminary PGY-1 positions in internal medicine (medical internship) are available in Worcester at both UMass-Memorial Medical Center and St. Vincent Hospital. We have 6 Neurology-Preliminary Medicine positions that we offer at UMassMemorial as an option as well. During the 36-month program of the Neurology residency, 21 months are devoted to clinical neurology through rotations on the inpatient neurology, vascular neurology, consultation and ambulatory services. The remaining 15 months are allotted to related disciplines and electives. We also offer in conjunction with our Psychiatry counterparts one Combined Neurology and Psychiatry residency position each year.
"I am impressed by how friendly the atmosphere is here at UMass. Fellow residents and attendings are extremely supportive. I've found that education is clearly the centerpiece of the residency experience, with protected time for lectures, support for individual research interests, and a constant emphasis on teaching in the busy clinical services."
We hold as central to our department's mission the education and nurturing of our residents' professional growth and maturation. The focus is on supporting each resident's individual educational needs and the achievement of these individual goals.
The clinical rotations provide a supervised, academic environment in which residents care for patients who have a wide range of neurological problems. Over the course of the three-year program, residents follow their own patients, not only during hospitalization on the neurology inpatient service, but also in the outpatient clinics over repeated visits. Residents also serve on the Stroke Service and as consultants to the medical and surgical services in the diagnosis and management of the neurological complications of systemic disease. Additional rotations in neuro-radiology, pediatric neurology, neuropathology and clinical neurophysiology, are an integral part of the curriculum. Advanced clinical training in subspecialty areas includes the care of patients with headache, dementia, movement disorders, epilepsy (including its surgical treatment), sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis and neuromuscular disorders. Supervised clinical electives in collaboration with neurosurgery and neuro-rehabilitation are also available.

July 2, 2012 —
District Attorney Jim Farrell announced that Lars Ryder, age 23, of Monticello, N.Y. was sentenced to 25 years in state prison and 5 years of post release supervision for the homicide of Elizabeth Mucci, 31, of Monticello and Hankins, N.Y.
Ryder had previously entered a plea of guilty to Manslaughter in the 1st Degree, a class B violent felony, in Sullivan County Court on April 27, 2012. Farrell, said that Ryder killed his girlfriend of nearly two years, Elizabeth Mucci, 31, of Monticello and Hankins, N.Y., on the evening of April 26, 2011, at the apartment they shared on Fraser Road in the Town of Thompson after a physical domestic dispute between them.
After the homicide Ryder attempted to conceal the homicide by putting Mucci's body in the woods and then trying to burn it. After that did not succeed, Ryder returned to the woods, the next day, and dismembered Mucci's body in order to hide it.
Police only recovered one of Mucci's legs and no cause of death was ever forensically established. Ryder admitted to acting under an extreme emotional disturbance at the time of the homicide which reduced the murder to manslaughter. Ryder was arrested on May 13, 2011, after an investigation by the New York State Police into the disappearance of Mucci.
"The New York State Police and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation worked hard to find out what happened to Elizabeth when she disappeared and searched miles of property in an attempt to find her body. Their investigation was thorough and resulted in the truth being revealed and Ryder being held responsible. While no sentence will replace the loss of this young woman to her family, who grieve her loss, the 25 year state prison sentence, is consistent with justice and all the facts discovered by the police investigation. In addition, Elizabeth's family, who knew Ryder and his family for nearly three decades, were in agreement with the plea and that was a significant factor in both my office and the court agreeing to the 25 year state prison sentence in this case", Farrell said.

Marcella (Marcy) Vancil, a teacher at Flossie Wiley
Elementary School in Urbana, Illinois, is this year's "Illinois
History Teacher of the Year," sponsored
by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and Preserve America.
Inaugurated in 2004, the National History Teacher of
the Year Award is designed to promote and celebrate the
teaching of American history in classrooms across the
United States. It honors one exceptional K-12 teacher
of American history from each state and U.S. territory.
The selection of the state winner is based upon several
criteria, including experience in teaching American history
for at least three years; a deep career commitment to
teaching American history; evidence of creativity and
imagination in the classroom; and close attention to
documents. "This award gives us the chance to recognize
great history teachers across the country," said
Lesley Herrmann, Executive Director of the Gilder Lehrman
Institute of American History. "It puts exceptional
educators front and center."
Vancil has been teaching
for 32 years (kindergarten through 4th grade) and has
taught at Wiley School for 16 years. Her past awards
include being named
to the 2005 All-USA Teacher Team by USA Today, a Disney Teacher of The Year
(1994), and a finalist for Illinois Teacher Of The Year by the Illinois State
Board of Education (2003). She is also a National Board Certified Teacher.
"Marcy Vancil is the kind of teacher who truly
enjoys what she does in the classroom each day and has
brought history to life for many, many students through
the years," said John Craig of the Illinois State
Board of Education, who participated in the selection
process on behalf of ISBE.
Vancil earned her bachelor's degree in elementary/early
childhood education from Southern Illinois University,
Carbondale, completed her student teaching assignment
in Scotland, earned a master's degree in curriculum
and instruction at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
and achieved National Board Certification in 1998.
Vancil has been the primary subject of eight doctoral
theses and is featured in several professional books.
Since 1996, she has been collecting data on how young
children construct understandings of history and how
to deepen these understandings. She immerses students
in yearlong thematic units of early America, incorporating
academic subjects, primary documents, artifacts, family
stories and first person interpretation. This year started
with students turning the classroom into a time machine
to travel to early America, where they will portray characters
from the Mayflower passenger list. They will eat hardtack
and dried beef on the voyage, become apprentices in Colonial
Williamsburg, as well as research and write journals
telling history from a first-person perspective.

The cultural program is divided into two sub-programs:
Archaeology (often refered to as "Cultural") and Paleontology
America's Heritage Resources
BLM identifies and manages a wide variety of cultural resources on Utah's public lands. The BLM conserves and protects scientific archaeological sites that chronicle the thousands of years of human-initiated land use in Utah.
Many historic and prehistoric interpretative sites are open to visitors. BLM strives to protect and preserve representative samples of the array of cultural resources on public lands for the benefit of present and future generations.
BLM Utah Archaeology Page
America's Fossil Resources
More kinds of fossils can be found on the BLM-managed public lands than under any other Federal or State agency's control, and all Americans share in this unique natural legacy. Fossils are the remains and traces of once-living organisms, preserved in rocks of the Earth's crust. They convey the story of origins and endings of extraordinary varieties of ocean-dwelling, fresh-water, and terrestrial creatures, played out over nearly 4 billion years of the Earth's 4.6 billion-year history.

Tips wrote the memoir in 1963 in preparation for Three Rivers' 50th anniversary at the request of local writer Viola Adlof who was assembling the anniversary's brochure. She used excerpts from the manuscript to assemble the brochure, but lost it afterwards.
Adlof later wrote that she lent the manuscript to a friend to read but couldn't remember who.
"She used bits and pieces from it and a neighbor asked to read the manuscript and they lost contact and it was lost for the next 50 years," Richard said.
"Richard was speechless because everyone had been looking for 50 years," Janis added. "Viola wrote that the manuscript was borrowed and couldn't remember who it was; to name that person would open a Pandora's box."
The manuscript was found while the Hudsons were doing research for their other book on this history of Live Oak County. They said they interviewed almost 100 families and spent three years researching for the Live Oak book and one of their interviews uncovered the manuscript.
"We understand why things like that happen, but in a small town it could be embarrassing," Richard said. "The lady had all these boxes...it remains a mystery who had it."
The Hudsons cross-referenced the found memoir with some typewritten pages provided by Tips' granddaughter Eugenia Cross-Thorn and excerpts from Adlof's brochure.
They said the memoir revealed a few unexpected surprises such as the root of the rivalry between Three Rivers and George West. The rivalry started basically when the towns were founded because Three Rivers had a one-year head start.
"One of the most amazing things to me was how mature men felt comfortable following him," Janis said. "His youth was not looked down on; they readily accepted the insight and ingenuity they recognized in him."
Another surprise for the Hudsons came from learning how the streets in Three Rivers got their names. Janis said she thought Church Street had its name because there were churches on it, but it actually spurred from a man named Church.
The first batch of 50 copies were sold as a special collectors edition on May 4 and the Hudsons said it went over so well that they decided to print more. Publication began about two weeks ago and copies are available at www.historyraven.com.
Although the Hudsons live in Keller, they often stay with Richard's cousin in George West continuing their work with local history. They said sale of the books funds their research.
"The very best friends I made in college were from Three Rivers. It was the most wonderful home I had known and these people are my lifetime friends. I had a love for this area even before I met Richard," Janis said.

Our season has not yet come.
With every Mets loss over the past two weeks, I still believed they would pull it together. When Johnny Maine nearly pitched a no-hitter on Saturday, and the boys spit out runs like they were sunflower seeds? I was so sure we'd bash out another win on Sunday and show those Phillies who they're dealing with. I just knew it.
But this year was not meant to be.
I hate that the Phils won the division. Hate it. The Phillies make me want to lift weights so I can punch something and actually have an impact. But I have every faith that next year our boys will come back strong. The Mets thrive as underdogs. They turn it up when there's something to prove. Now they've got a whole lot to prove, and I know they'll come back fighting hard next year.
We are underdogs again. And everyone involved with our team will make sure that 2008 will be ours. Omar will do whatever it takes to fill in the holes we may be missing. If I had to choose a Mets slogan for 2008? It'd be Game on.
I've still got loads of pics and snippets of SNY dialogue I never got around to posting, so stay tuned over the next few weeks to relive some of the fun and tender moments of 2007.
Our season will come.

I was at Safeco yesterday and kept a close eye on the scoreboard. Never thought I'd be cheering so hard for the Diamondbacks, a team that's barely a blip on my radar.
I felt the letdown 3,000 miles away. Hope to see you next year on our tour. We've had a few meetings with the Mets (and about ten other teams)about having the teams and a sponsor host our events in their ballparks. The Mets' Sr. VP of Marketing used to work in the NFL and was one of the brains behind NLF 101. A pretty enlighted group over there.
Take it easy on the off season. Now, who do you cheer for? I was born in Boston so I've got it easy. Not that it's always been that way…
I believed too, and as a mets fan living on the west coast I woke up at 8am Sunday because I was so excited for the game I couldn't sleep. By 10:30 I wanted to go back to bed and it never got better. In a way I'm glad it's over because my wife probably couldn't handle another day of me sulking around the hose as the Mets blew game after game. Here's to Spring Training and a new start in 08.
P.S. I was referred he by the amazing Billy Fabs.
Girl, I'm gonna cry. You are one of the special people who is now part of the Coop's summer family contingent. Although this year turned into such a disappointment, the people I've met this year made every minute of it worthwhile and so much fun. So many good memories. And I know whenever I am feeling down in the winter, I will just click on Will's video yelling – MARLON! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!!!
There will surely be a house cleaning and although many think Willie's gone, I don't think so. He has issues but he didn't throw one pitch this year. The players are the scapegoats here. Hopefully this tragedy provides motivation for 2008. Sad, just sad.
rough. Two years in a row I've been left itching for more. This year was very very premature. My first year as a blogger i was really looking forward to some postseason, and they've cut me short. The season still had it's moments…but..I can't wait until next year.
As I sit here writing this, I can't help but think that I should be at Shea right now. The collapse seemed to start the minute my playoff tickets arrived. I've been cursing the team since I left Shea on Sunday, saying I won't be buying my tickets next year. But, I know that's just not true. I've enjoyed reading your blog throughout the season, and look forward to your off-season entries. Hope to make it out to some Mets events, viewing parties, etc. next season.

A recently published report from Springboard Research. IBM and other SOA vendors were interviewed. Assessments were made on 261 CIOs and IT decision-makers' level of awareness, familiarity and a range of issues related to SOA deployment. Countries involved in the study were Australia, China, India and Singapore. Springboard has been kept up to date re our SOA solutions and strategy through various briefing sessions and through the recently concluded Analyst Insights event in New Delhi, India.
IBM is a clear leader in the Asia Pacific SOA market; among the 113 SOA users interviewed in the region, 47% said they have deployed a solution from IBM while 41% of these said they consider IBM as the market leader. IBM is a favourite with respondents planning to deploy SOA also as 49% of the 128 respondents interviewed by Springboard Research considered it best suited to help them migrate to SOA..."

"Forging a Climate Agreement That Works"
Op-Ed, PostGlobal, A Conversation on Global Issues with David Ignatius and Fareed Zakaria
December 17, 2007
Authors: Robert N. Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government; Member of the Board; Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements, Joseph E. Aldy, Faculty Affiliate, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Environment and Natural Resources; Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
Top climate negotiators from more than 180 countries convened in Bali, Indonesia last week to address one of the most pressing issues of our time: forging an international agreement on climate change. The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol—the governing agreement on the reduction of greenhouse gases—expires in 2012.
The Kyoto Protocol marked a first step to address the problem of climate change, but it should be viewed as just that—a first step. Now we need to take the second step.
Over the last year, the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements has solicited ideas from leading thinkers on this subject. We have collected six different climate proposals—not intended as an end in themselves, but as a starting point for further discussion.
The Bali conference comes at a time when public awareness and understanding of climate change is at an all-time high. The world's leading scientists agree that evidence of warming is abundant, and that humans are likely the cause. Al Gore's movie drove that point home to millions of Americans.
Yet despite a general agreement that "something must be done," there is little consensus on next steps to take. The world's first attempt to address the problem, the Kyoto Protocol, did many things right. It promoted fairness by placing the bulk of the burden for change on wealthy, industrialized countries, which are responsible for the majority of the greenhouse gases now in the atmosphere. Kyoto also relied on a market-based approach, creating the potential for cost-effective emissions reductions.
Even so, Kyoto has several glaring weaknesses that must be addressed in any future agreement on climate change. Four of the five largest emitters in the world will not have to undertake any action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions during Kyoto's 2008–2012 commitment period: the United States has not ratified the agreement, Russia received a very lax and effectively non-binding target, and China and India, with very fast rates of emissions growth, do not have emission commitments under the Protocol. By designing a system where some countries undertake emissions reductions and others do not, the world set itself up for "emissions leakage," whereby companies move their operations to countries where it is cheaper to operate (and emit greenhouse gases).
The reality is that meaningful reductions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions will be costly to achieve, particularly for the United States—approximately equivalent to the cost of complying with all other federal environmental regulations combined. That doesn't mean action should not be taken—indeed, the benefits may justify these costs—but it does mean that we should design effective and sensible policies to minimize the costs of mitigating climate change.
To that end, we have launched the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements, an effort to identify key design elements of a future international agreement on climate change, drawing upon the ideas of leading thinkers from academia, private industry, government, and advocacy organizations. The project aims to help develop ideas that are "scientifically sound, economically rational, and politically pragmatic."
Our biggest lesson so far: As the nations of the world consider the next international climate agreement, they should not be limited by starting-point bias. In other words, although they should possibly consider an agreement that resembles Kyoto, they should also consider a wide range of other ideas, some of which bear very little resemblance to Kyoto. This would mark a significant change from the international community's current approach.
There are a wide range of options available to us to build on Kyoto, ranging from centralized, top-down agreements, similar to Kyoto, to completely decentralized approaches.
Just a few of the ideas submitted so far:—To promote fairness among all countries, the world could set emissions targets based on mathematical formulas, which would take into account historic and current emissions, income per capita, population, and other factors. Developing countries could index their emissions targets to economic growth to avoid unexpectedly high costs. (Jeffrey Frankel, Harvard University)—We could develop our climate policy in the same way as our trade policy evolved: We could first form agreements among a small, critical group of countries, and expand it regionally as time went on. (David Victor, Stanford University)—To take into account the realities of the current world political system, we could make national action the centerpiece of an effective climate policy, not an internationally negotiated agreement. Countries would participate in a non-binding pledge-and-review process that provides a venue for countries to review others' commitments and lobby one another. (William Pizer, Resources for the Future).
There is widespread consensus about the pressing need for a credible international agreement that everyone—including the U.S., China and India—can sign on to. Promising options do exist. By putting our heads together, we can find one that will work.
Robert N. Stavins, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School, and Joseph Aldy, a fellow at Resources for the Future, are co-directors of the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements. They have recently edited a book on post-Kyoto climate policy, Architectures for Agreement.

I've noticed my breasts are much smaller these days and it's freaking me out a little. Weird for me 'cause I had such a huge oversupply when he was younger. My son is huge ,8.5 mo and over 23 pounds and he eats solids twice a day. Should I keep putting it in to maintain more milk?

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Okay i watched one piece due to recomendation soo i love it and i think its better than naruto as in well majority of stuff but naruto is good but to indivdual if u get me and one piece is all about every one is involved so what does everyone else think oh and the storyline well they are both good but naruto is all about sadness nowadays oh and saskue -_- and one piece has a really good stroyline oh and i love it when they gain new nakama oh and the comedy is uncomparable
OP naruto is becoming a bit dull for me lately but i still like it
I don't like how the characters are drawn in OP.
Naruto. ^^
I like Naruto better, but I still enjoy a good One Piece episode when they're on. I think One Piece is funnier too.
I choose Naruto because I have allways loved ninja's and never really cared much for pirates.

definitely Naruto.
The fights in One Peice suck.
I need an anime with epic fights like Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist and Bleach.
OP, it is funny but at the same time it is one of the most badass series I have ever watched.
Onepiece has the funniest and overpowering enemies that could beat all of naruto chararcters except for s06p
im big fan of one piece but
when it koms to reading a chapter i rather read naruto one piece can wait naruto is more destrubing my head when it komes to the story
One Piece for me too, Let's just say Naruto takes itself way too seriously.
One Piece has the right mixture between comedy, seriousness and emotional moments + The OP fillers are the best ('I'm taking about you useless flashback fillers')
Naruto for me. I don't like the plotline nor the artstyle of One Piece :/
Prefer Naruto, but prefer Oda. conflict...
Naruto has a better story but Op is fun to watch/read but yeah I prefer Naruto
one piece everyday.

Todd Deaver, current high school principal, said he accepted a principal position at the Poth school district junior high school.
Deaver said he was born in Kingsville, but all his family had moved up around San Antonio and Houston, and he said the move means he and his immediate family will be closer to all of the family.
Deaver added that he likes Thai food, and that fare is readily available in restaurants nearby.
Gonzales will take the duties of principal as of July 1.
Also after the closed meeting, trustees voted to appoint Christie Mascorro to take the school board single member district 4 position that Gary Wright vacated. Wright moved out of the voting district and had to resign his position.
Mascorro will complete Wright's unexpired term, to the May 2015 election.
In open session, trustees voted to elect Andy Rocha as the board's vice president. Wright also had been the board vice president.
Trustees also heard an overview of the districts lawsuit against three companies that installed the elementary school's foundation.
Superintendant Jack Gaskins said he was giving a deposition on the case in Austin on Tuesday, April 29.
Gaskins said the district has four experts who confirm that the wrong dirt was used to lay the foundation.
He said one of the experts, Rimkus engineering consultants, suggested that the solution would be to take the slab out and construct a suspended slab on piers.
Trustees also approved the purchase of food service software called "NutriKids."
The total package for the software, which totally will manage the district's food service, was $17,572. The money will come out of cafeteria money.
The software will help adjust lunch prices, including reduced priced lunches, make available online applications and help in overall management of the service.
Also to remain in compliance with USDA and TDA, meal prices were set for the 2014-15 year.
Elementary (K-5) prices increased from $1.35 to $1.50 for breakfast and $2.50 to $2.60 for lunches.
For grades six through 12, breakfast increased from $1.35 to $1.50. Lunch increased from $2.60 to $2.75.
Adults and staff breakfast increased from $1.75 to $2.25 for breakfast and $3.30 to $3.40 for lunch.
Trustees also recognized students during its "spotlight on excellence" portion of the meeting.
Students who were recognized included the following:
Kymberlee Dreyer, seventh grade; Michael Firova, sixth grade; Jordy Martinez, sixth grade; Phoebe Deaver, sixth grade; and Tyler Castellano, 11th grade.

Difficult for both sidesFebruary 24,2014
The recent report in The Times Argus (Feb. 21) about contract negotiations between Goddard College and the union representing the faculty contains a number of errors and omissions that I am obliged to correct, both to clarify this matter for readers, as well as to hopefully help reach an agreement.
Coming from a labor movement background, as the spouse of a union member, and having in the past negotiated several union labor contracts as a manager, I respect and understand the collective bargaining process. With the faculty (and separately the staff) having chosen to organize and be represented by a union, Goddard Colleges obligation is to negotiate with the designated representatives of that union, and not to engage in side negotiations or in debates in the press with people who are not on the bargaining team.
With Goddard facing real financial pressures, negotiating a contract is very difficult for both sides. Its a process that started quite a while ago and I need to outline the timeframe and process in order to correct some mischaracterizations and omissions. The article refers to an email faculty members recently received from their bargaining team. I have not seen that, nor any other communication the union bargaining team may have had with faculty since this process started many months ago. All I can say is that some significant facts, as reported in the article, are wrong.
The negotiation process started in spring 2013 for the fiscal year beginning last July. Because of Goddards financial situation, Goddard asked for significant compensation concessions from the union, obviously a very difficult proposal for the union to consider but also one that was hard for Goddards administration and board to put forward. At that time, a pay cut had already been put in place for all non-union employees administrative, supervisory and senior management staff, and Goddard asked the union to consider this as well.
Because it was clear that coming to an agreement would be difficult, Goddard proposed at the beginning of August 2013 that the parties agree to mediation. This request was rejected by the union negotiators. Goddard repeated the request to involve a mediator a number of times over the next few months, but the union did not agree to begin mediation until much more recently. From Goddards perspective, time was lost, and the finances tightened further over this time.
From the beginning, Goddards administration provided the union negotiators with detailed financial information and responded to numerous specific information requests and updates in order for faculty negotiators to understand why it was necessary to ask for contract concessions. Because so much time was passing, Goddard had to actually increase the amount of the concessions being asked for in order to achieve any savings in the current year.
At the end of the most recent mediation session, a compromise proposal was arrived at which the union negotiators agreed to put to a vote with a neutral recommendation (neither for nor against). Although we appreciate that this proposal was difficult for the union to accept, it was likewise a significant concession from where Goddard believed it needs to be. The proposal was a very significant step back from Goddards most recent proposals regarding pay and severance, and it was also a step back from what had initially been proposed back at the beginning of the process in spring 2013. In short, it was a compromise. So, while I fully understand that it is a difficult one for faculty members to consider, it was also a difficult and big compromise for the Goddard team to agree to.
Based on the comments by faculty members in The Times Argus report, its hard for me to tell what was being communicated from union negotiators to the faculty throughout this whole process. It was Goddard that was requesting mediation almost from the beginning. Goddard College has now stepped back meaningfully from past positions in order to avoid impasse and the consequences of that. I hope the faculty will ratify this contract for the remainder of the academic year, and I have recommended to Goddards Board of Trustees that they accept this if the faculty does as well.
