Skip to comments.Man Charged After Corralling Suspected Vandals In Closet (arresting the victim)
Posted on 06/16/2013 8:28:41 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines
Clyde, N.Y. --- A Wayne County man is now facing four charges for Endangering the Welfare of a Child after he interrupted an act of vandalism at a home he was renovating for his father-in-law.
The incident unfolded around 9 p.m. Saturday when Jesse Daniels said he told his wife to call 911 after he heard loud noises coming from the home next door and saw an individual striking a wall with a hammer.
Daniels... ran next door and found four children, ages eight and ten, doing damage to the property. Daniels said he took a hammer from one of the kids and corralled them into a closet while he waited for police to arrive. Daniels estimated that the damage to his father-in-law's property exceeds $40,000...
Clyde Village Police took the children back to their parents and filed felony criminal charges of Burglary 2nd Degree and Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree. Those cases will be handled in Family Court and the results of each case is likely to remain sealed.
On Monday police returned to Daniels' home and arrested him on four counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.
The parents of the children insisted on the charges according to authorities. They claim that their children were shoved into the closet, that one was grabbed around the neck, and that Daniels' threatened them with the hammer.
Daniels was arraigned on those charges and is due back in court later this month. The maximum sentence on each charge is one year in county jail.
Wayne County District Attorney Richard Healy tells 13WHAM News that the entire incident is still under investigation and he is still gathering information. While Healy can decide not to prosecute he said he does not have enough information at this time to make that decision....
Paul Bowler lives not far from Daniels home and the home that was vandalized and he made no excuses for the actions of his boys and their two alleged accomplices when 13WHAM News confronted him....
Bowler said his two boys are traumatized by the incident and their mother showed 13WHAM News a picture of the incident that she says one of them drew. Bowler also provided 13WHAM News with a photo of the neck of one of his boys because he said Daniels grabbed his son by the neck and left a mark.
Oh they're traumatized, they haven't been to school they don't sleep until the sun comes up, said Bowler.
"I don't know why he didn't get more charges than just Endangering the Welfare of a Child because if you're asking me that's imprisonment, that's unlawfully dealing with a child, said Bowler.
"I would like to see them (the charges) dropped against me because I was just protecting my family and had the house torched it would've affected my home and everything, Daniels responded. "I hope the children learn a lesson, I don't want to see them grow up to be bad people. I mean they're intelligent kids. What happened\ happened and I just want to get it over with and not have any more problems that's all I want.
Penal Law § 260.10 Endangering the welfare of a child.
A person is guilty of endangering the welfare of a child when:
1. He or she knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child less than seventeen years old or directs or authorizes such child to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his or her life or health; or 2. Being a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than eighteen years old, he or she fails or refuses to exercise reasonable diligence in the control of such child to prevent him or her from becoming a..." a "juvenile delinquent" or a "person in need of supervision," ...
But, no, this Obama's America. We have to arrest the property owners and coddle the criminals.
And thank goodness Daniels hadn't gone over there with a gun. Even if he hadn't used it, he probably be in prison already.

We'll let you go if you promise to donate to the Democrat Party....
Don't these "parents" have any shame about what their kids were doing? The parents should be hauled up for arrest on charges of irresponsible treatment of children.
Oh they're traumatized, they haven't been to school they don't sleep until the sun comes up, said Bowler.
Hmmm- the poorl ittle arsonists criminals aere 'traumatized'? Just think how traumatized they are goign to be when they land in jeuvenile detention-
Daniles shoudl be claimign hte kids traumatized him- he should be drawign a picture of his father-in-law's house on fire and thjsoe kids standign i nthe roadway watchign it and laughing- he shoudl be suing the parents of the kids for endangerign their kids by allowign htem to go unsupervised late at night-
[["I don't know why he didn't get more charges than just Endangering the Welfare of a Child because if you're asking me that's imprisonment, that's unlawfully dealing with a child, said Bowler.]]
Funny Bowlers shoudl mention prison- becasue that's probably where he's goign to be makign visits to to see his sons some day- Since this dolt can't recognize that his children are thugs and criminals, he shoudl be held as an accomplice
[["I would like to see them (the charges) dropped against me because I was just protecting my family and had the house torched it would've affected my home and everything, Daniels responded. "I hope the children learn a lesson, I don't want to see them grow up to be bad people. I mean they're intelligent kids. What happened\ happened and I just want to get it over with and not have any more problems that's all I want.]]
Daniels can feel sorry for the kids if he wants, but they are simply products of their upbringing and it appears they are following in the footsteps of their irresponsible no good father-
Paul Bowler
typical sniveling Leftist "Victim"
a good ass whipping is in order...
poor little hoodlums.. they're traumatized.. 40K worth,,
The parents of each child should get 10K poorer too..
Sounds like the parents have some sway somewhere. I think child welfare should check in on them since the parents so poorly supervise their children.
They are traumatized because they got caught and now they're truants and night roaming zombies too.
If we only had their first names I'd bet we could determine who these hoodlums really are.
Had I done such a thing as a child, there would have been a whole truckload of trauma...but my parents would have been the ones bringing it...
I'd say it's about 100% certain that the "father" of the boys interviewed for the story is a strong Obama supporter. The only amazing thing is that he has not deserted the kids yet - maybe he lives on their mom's income.
I will contend that of all the things we have lost as a culture, shame is one of the most important.
Imagine what most of our parents would have done if we had been those kids. Many of us wouldn't have been sitting for a very long time!! And our parents would have made it very clear to us that we were not to bring shame to our families!!
And what kind of parent lets 8-10 year old kids out at night without supervision?
Someone might wait until this Boweler guy and his family are out of town and let the word be known among the local kids that everyone is going to his house to trash it.
But I don't think that will happen.
He's probably on welfare and doesn't leave home much.
The "victim" of this charge does not seem to fit the criteria of the statute.
" Being a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child"
I can't believe the damage that was done to that house! Something is very wrong with young children who are capable of that kind of destruction of personal property. Fortunately with the internet the father of the children will soon be sorry he ever went on the news trying to get more charges against the victim of the vandalism. Nobody can look at those pictures and for a second think the owner is in the wrong with his actions.
IMHO, if that DA goes ahead with prosecution of Mr Daniels his house should be vandalized by some 'kids'. Lets see how he feels then (he'd prolly file for Domestic Terrorism).
the little sh!ts KNEW better than to do that at home so they can't say they were just playing...
No,they don't have ANY shame because they don't even know how to spell the word!It's obvious that these kids are being brought up by parents who don't know right from wrong!!It's the parents who should be charged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No good deed goes unpunished.
in many cases (like this one), a court hearing on a charge needs to be conducted by a judge, B4 any formal charge and arrest
and only a formal criminal charge made on the judge's order
leaving a "plaintiff" only a civil suit if they care to try it, having already lost the criminal charge
Subsection 1 doesn't require the defendant be a parent, etc. Daniels was presumably charged with that subsection.
This law is constantly overused by cops in NYS. People have been charged with cursing in front of kids or arguing with their spouses. I know of one case where a landlord was threatened with it if he evicted a deadbeat family with children because that would "endanger" them.
It's NY's number one tool for criminalizing everyone.
Not in NY. In order to charge someone with endangering all that is required is that a police officer swear out a complaint.
The purpose of the Courts and law enforcement is to control whar are normal law abiding citizens while protecting crools and criminals. If an law abiding citizen happens to get murdered, robbed, or raped they could not care less. What is important to them is that the law abiding productive [taxpaying] citizen be kept in their place [on their knees begging their masters for "protection" from the criminal and not protecting themselves.
Trauma might not be a bad thing - anyone heard of "Scared Straight"?
Fourteenth Amendment explained / Eric Williams
First - forget everything you ever knew about the Fourteenth Amendment - then carefully read the below expose:
Take the Amendments opening clauses, All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state where in they reside...
Now, consider the same clauses with the central, explanatory clause removed, and it then reads: All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside...
Under the rules of English grammar and punctuation, the second clause, and under the jurisdiction thereof, is an explanatory clause. Explanatory clauses do not add to nor in any way change or alter the meaning of the writing in which they are included; their purpose is to explain. As it is self evident that naturalized persons volunteer into the jurisdiction of the United States as an inherent aspect of their voluntary naturalization, the explanatory obviously was not relevant thereto. Therefore the inclusion of this explanatory clause is to clarify that persons born in the
United States, in deference to the Thirteenth Amendment, do not become and are not, at the moment of their birth in the United States, automatically citizens thereof because such newborn persons are incapable of personally volunteering themselves into servitude. I contend that the inclusion of persons naturalized was somewhat obfuscatory.
Finish the article here:
14th Amendment:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside..."
RULE: Never accept a presentment without contesting it, but remember that the ONLY thing you want to contest is the "style of the case," i.e. the corruption of your Christian appellation into a corporate fiction form. To argue anything else in the pleading (even a contention that you are an ax murderer) instantly causes you to traverse into the opposition's jurisdiction-and you're dead!
The burden is upon them to prove that they have jurisdiction over you.
Did you 'knowingly and willingly' volunteer to become a US citizen?
Did you fully comprehend the fact that you were 'voluntarily' waving your constitutional rights to become a 14th amendment debt slave?
Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742, 748 (1970)
Waivers of Constitutional Rights not only must be voluntary, but must be knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and likely consequences.
================================================== ================================================== ============
17. Under the Federal and State Constitutions, "... We the People" did not surrender our individual sovereignty to either the State or Federal Government. Powers "delegated" do not equate to powers surrendered. This is a Republic, not a democracy, and the majority cannot impose its will upon the minority simply because some "law" is already set forth. Any individual can do anything he or she wishes to do, so long as it does not damage, injure or impair the same Right of another individual. The concept of a corpus delicti is relevant here, in order to prove some "crime" or civil damage.
18. The case law surrounding the 13th and 14th Amendments all rings with the same message: "These amendments did not change the status of Common Law Citizenship of the white Citizens of one of the several States of the Union" (now 50 in number).
19. This goes to the crux of the controversy because, under the so-called 14th Amendment, citizenship is a privilege and not a "Right". (See American and Ocean Ins. Co. v. Canter, 1 Pet. 511 (1828); Cook v. Tait, 265 U.S. 47 (1924).)
20. It was never the intent of the so-called 14th Amendment to change the status of the Common Law Citizens of the several States. (See People v. Washington, 36 C. 658, 661 (1869); French v. Barber, 181 U.S. 324 (1900); MacKenzie v. Hare, 60 L.Ed. 297). Intent is always decisive and conclusive on the courts.
21. However, over the years, the so-called 14th Amendment has been used to create a fiction and to destroy American freedom through administrative regulation. How is this possible? The answer is self-evident to anyone who understands the law, namely, a "privilege" can be regulated to any degree, including the alteration and even the revocation of that privilege.
22. Since the statutory status of "citizen of the United States, subject to the jurisdiction thereof" (1866 Civil Rights Act) is one of privilege and not of Right, and since the so called 14th Amendment mandates that both Congress and the several States take measures to protect these new "subjects", then both the Federal and State governments are mandated to protect the privileges and immunities of ONLY these "citizens of the United States".
(See Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 (1906).)
23. Of course, the amount of protection afforded has a price to pay, but the important fact is that the "privilege" of citizenship under the so-called 14th Amendment can be regulated or revoked because it is a "privilege" and not a RIGHT. It is here that the basic, fundamental concept of "self-government" turns into a King "governing his subjects".
Not in NY.
I was not speaking on what current law and practice is but what it ought to be, in my view.
I'm guessing that's a standard day in the life of these little punks.
if someone is on your property and tearing down your house in many states, I think you are within your rights to shoot them.... but in NY you cannot even corral them?
They haven't been to school?
summer school?
This state is so screwed up.
Hopefully Daniels's lawyer brings that up to Bowler. Let him do a little pokey time.
We had a similar incident some years ago with 2 neighborhood kids vandalizing one of our cars. The Fairfax County (VA) police (God bless 'em) pursued what might have appeared a trivial matter and found the two.
The parents' immediate reaction was "not MY son" which quickly changed to "mea culpa" when presented with evidence and the kids' acknowledgment of their wrongdoing. If their parents' reaction had been Bowlers, I'd have pursued the matter beyond a good lesson from FCPD.
It's Ithaca......
School just got out this weekend for much of NY. I wouldn't be surprised if some kids still have to go.
Depends how much time they lost for snowdays during the winter.
this is called counterpunch.
It is why we have no morality in this country.
This happens all the time. in lots of ways.
Not unless Ithaca has been uprooted and transported from Tompkins County to Wayne County without anyone noticing.
Would *Ithaca area* work then? I know it's a stretch.....
Yeah, I do know where Clyde is.
There used to be a natural/health food store up that way. Clear Eye.
Maybe there's something in the water there.
The schools are all serving meals all summer here, hardly anyone is going to go, what a waste of tax dollars
I would have made my sons clean EVERY BIT of their mess up.
These parents don't care about their children much. : {
They're pretty crowded here and it's almost all white kids. I would say half the families could somewhat use the assistance and the rest are there just for fun or for the parents' convenience. For some reason very few Hispanics go to the summer meals, although they eat the same food during the school year.
[[Wow...I tried to read that 4 times...Wow.]]
And you're a mchu better pesron for it today- You're welcoem
[[I would have made my sons clean EVERY BIT of their mess up.]]
And today we'd be charged swith child abuse if we made the kids actually obey us and hte law-
[[but in NY you cannot even corral them?]]
Apparently not- peopel are still allowed to 'own/' a gun, but they just aren't allwoed to use the gun- and appaently it's agaisnt hte law in NY to make citizens arrests or detain someoen until thel aw getrs there-
In other words, peopel MUST SOLELY rely on the police for everythign but as we see i nthsi case- the police were nowhere to be foudn whiel the kids destroyed the house— Just imagien if the kids had instead broken into the occupied hows of Daniels with guns- and Daniels had to wait for police to get there provuided he cousdl even manage to get to a phone while under attack- because heaven forbid he shoudl protect hismelf and family with deadly force in his own house-
[[In order to charge someone with endangering all that is required is that a police officer swear out a complaint. ]]
I beleive all that is necessary is if a cop sees marks on someone- which then gives the cop the 'right' to make the arrest regardless of how the incident actually went down- it's sort of liek the saying 'shoto first ask quesitons later' mentality- You see it a lot on the show cops- where a fight takes place, but only oen person has marks- the officers are 'required' to arrest the oen that doesn't have any marks regardless of who says they are the victim- (unless there are eyewitnesses that can explain that the one with marks received them while beign the aggressor and instigator)
You just can't make this up. Property rights. we don't need no stinkin property rights.

This is probably in my top-five all-time favorite metalcore albums, up there with Jane Doe and Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest. The depressive tone and spiteful aggression work really well together with the somewhat melodic instrumentation.
I've never been able to pick a favorite song in spite of more than a few attempts, but tracks like "Bloodwork", "Kenai", "With Nothing Underneath", and "Destroy the Map" have great replay value.

Training in Costa Rica
|Training in [[{{#explode:Training in Costa Rica| |2}} {{#explode:Training in Costa Rica| |3}} {{#explode:Training in Costa Rica| |4}}]]
|Pre-service training will probably be the most intense period of your Peace Corps service, as you will need to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully serve as a Volunteer in just 10 weeks. While the training period will be extremely busy, it should also be a time of excitement, discovery, and self-fulfillment. The effort and challenges of adapting to a new culture will draw on your reserves of patience and humor but will be handsomely rewarded with a sense of belonging among new friends.
|[[Image:Flag_of_{{#explode:Training in Costa Rica| |2}}.svg|50px|none]]}}

For information see Welcomebooks
Pre-service training, which follows a community-based training model, lasts for 11 weeks. Training communities are selected based on whether they meet certain safety and health requirements and allow trainees to carry out activities that help prepare them for their work. Approximately three to five trainees are placed in each of several communities around the capital city, San José, where they live with a host family. A language and cultural facilitator works closely with each group of trainees, providing formal language classes in trainees' homes or in another suitable space in the community and practice-based instruction outside of the classroom. Advanced or native Spanish speakers participate in an alternative program that accommodates their particular needs.
All trainees are assigned integrated training activities, to be completed independently or with assistance from the language and cultural facilitators or members of the community. Trainees are responsible for scheduling the activities and determining what kind of support and resources they need in order to complete them. This neighborhood-based, experiential training is complemented by classroom-based technical, cultural, and health and safety training. On Fridays and some Saturdays, all trainees and staff meet at the Peace Corps office for seminars on the particular training "theme" that serves as a framework for determining weekly activities and as a guide for language instruction.
The training program include a group field trip to observe functioning projects, a visit to a Volunteer's site, and one trip to trainees' future sites, during which trainees begin planning for their future assignments.
Technical Training
Technical training prepares you to work in Costa Rica by building on the skills you already have and helping you develop new skills in a manner appropriate to the needs of the country. The Peace Corps staff, Costa Rican experts, and current Volunteers conduct the training program. Training places great emphasis on learning how to transfer the skills you have to the community in which you will serve as a Volunteer. Training staff will observe your informal presentations to community groups as part of your preparation.
Technical training will include sessions on the general economic and political environment in Costa Rica and strategies for working within such a framework. You will review your technical sector's goals and will meet with the Costa Rican agencies and organizations that invited the Peace Corps to assist them. You will be supported and evaluated throughout the training to build the confidence and skills you need to undertake your project activities and be a productive member of your community.
Language Training
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will find that language skills are the key to personal and professional satisfaction during your service. These skills are critical to your job performance, they help you integrate into your host community, and they can ease your personal adaptation to the new surroundings.
Therefore, language training is the heart of the training program, and you must successfully meet minimum language requirements to complete training and be sworn-in as a Volunteer. Costa Rican language instructors teach formal language classes three or four mornings a week in small groups of three to five trainees. In the afternoons, trainees receive individual assistance and carry out activities in the community. The language facilitators rotate among trainee groups so that they receive instruction from different facilitators over the 11-week period.
The goal is to get you to a point of basic social communication skills so that you can practice and develop language skills further on your own. Prior to being sworn in as a Volunteer, you will work on strategies to continue language studies during your two years of service.
Cross-Cultural Training
The experience of living with a Costa Rican host family during training is designed to ease your transition to life at your site. Families go through an orientation conducted by Peace Corps staff to explain the purpose of pre-service training and to assist them in helping you adapt to living in Costa Rica. Many Volunteers form strong and lasting friendships with their host families.
Cross-cultural and community development training will help you improve your communication skills and understand your role as a facilitator of development. You will be exposed to topics such as community mobilization, conflict resolution, gender and development, nonformal and adult education strategies, cultural diversity, and political structures.
Health Training
During pre-service training, you will be given basic medical training and information. You will be expected to practice preventive healthcare and to take responsibility for your own health by adhering to all medical policies. Trainees are required to attend all medical sessions. The topics include preventive health measures and minor and major medical issues that you might encounter while in Costa Rica.
Nutrition, mental health, safety and security, setting up a safe living compound, and how to avoid HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are also covered.
Safety Training
During the safety training sessions, you will learn how to adopt a lifestyle that reduces risk in your home, at work, and during your travels. You will also learn appropriate, effective strategies for coping with unwanted attention and about your individual responsibility for promoting safety throughout your service.
Additional Trainings During Volunteer Service
In its commitment to institutionalize quality training, the Peace Corps has implemented a training system that provides Volunteers with continual opportunities to evaluate their commitment to Peace Corps service while increasing their technical and cross-cultural skills. During service, there are usually three training events. The titles and objectives for those trainings are as follows:
- In-service training: Provides an opportunity for Volunteers to upgrade their technical, language, and project development skills while sharing their experiences and reaffirming their commitment after serving for three months and again after serving for six months.
- Midterm conference: Assists Volunteers in reviewing their first year, reassessing their personal and project objectives, and planning for their second year of service.
- Close of service conference: Prepares Volunteers for the future after Peace Corps service and reviews their respective projects and personal experiences.
The number, length, and design of these trainings are adapted to country-specific needs and conditions. The key to the training system is that training events are integrated and interrelated, from the pre-departure orientation through the end of your service, and are planned, implemented, and evaluated cooperatively by the training staff, Peace Corps staff, and Volunteers.

History of the Peace Corps in Guyana
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
The Peace Corps first received a formal invitation from Guyana in 1966, the year of the country's independence. From 1966 until 1971, more than 160 Volunteers served in Guyana with the Peace Corps. At that time, education Volunteers broadened the school curricula to include technical and vocational subjects, including home economics, crafts, and manual arts. Technicians, architects, and engineers also assisted in developing and carrying out plans of Guyana's Ministry of Works and Hydraulics. The Guyana program was discontinued in 1971, after the government of Guyana requested all overseas voluntary agencies to leave.
In 1993, the Guyanese government, led by President Cheddi Jagan, approached the Peace Corps about the prospects for the Peace Corps to reopen its program in Guyana. In March 1995, the Peace Corps officially reopened a joint Peace Corps office for Suriname and Guyana. The first Volunteers arrived in 1995, serving in the areas of community health and youth development. In 1997, Peace Corps/Guyana and Peace Corps/ Suriname split to form two separate programs. Approximately 30 Volunteers arrive each year to work in the community health project and the education and community development project (which includes information technology). In total, more than 380 Volunteers have served in Guyana with the Peace Corps.
Volunteers serve at sites ranging from the capital city of Georgetown, with a population of 300,000, to small, remote villages with populations fewer than 300. They are affiliated with a variety of schools, nongovernmental agencies, and government health facilities. The work of Peace Corps Volunteers in Guyana is well-received by the people of the communities in which they serve.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in Guyana
Volunteers address educational, health, and technical concerns by providing community health education, literacy, life skills and academic training, and information technology in collaboration with relevant ministries and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). They assist existing efforts to facilitate community involvement, train service providers, and introduce new training and teaching methodologies. Today, there are nearly 50 Peace Corps Volunteers serving in Guyana in nine of the country's 10 regions.
Community Health Education Project
Under serious labor constraints, the Ministry of Health in Guyana is attempting to simultaneously strengthen and decentralize the country's health delivery system. Depressed wages and salaries, a declining economy, and the flight of skills to more lucrative labor markets have worsened the situation. Therefore, the need for healthcare providers at all levels is acute.
Peace Corps/Guyana's community health project seeks to support the Ministry of Health's primary healthcare program.
Health education Volunteers are usually assigned to work with local health centers. In collaboration with local staff, they address primary and preventive healthcare issues such as breastfeeding, diarrhea, worms, coughs and colds, nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, and sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Health education Volunteers also work with community leaders, groups, and organizations to facilitate community health assessments and campaigns, and to design and implement community projects. Volunteers placed in this sector are challenged to develop innovative ways of taking health education outreach programs to schools, community groups, and youth.
Education and Community Development Project
Guyana's process of nation-building is causing vast political, social, and economic changes. These changes are placing the nation's youth, which constitute nearly 60 percent of the population, at great risk.
Guyana's Ministry of Education has recognized an urgent need to refocus the country's education system by improving the literacy and numeracy of the country's youth and by enhancing teachers' skills in providing literacy education. In addition to ongoing projects focusing on training youth in life-skills development, Peace Corps/Guyana's community education project taps Volunteers to work directly with young students to improve their literacy skills and with teachers to promote literacy education.
Community Information Technology
In March 2000, the Ministry of Education invited Peace Corps/Guyana to play a role in the development of information technology (IT) as a curriculum subject within the school system. This ministry has introduced two educational development projects in some of the country's schools: the secondary school reform project and the Guyana education access project. It is hoped that the two projects will have a direct impact on promoting IT among the nation's young people.
Several Volunteers work directly in the schools, and all Volunteers are encouraged to assist informally with these projects in their area if possible. Activities include teaching students and teachers to use the technology, assisting with setting up computer labs, and interacting with the schools and community groups to ensure that the benefits of this technology reach the communities as well.
Future Programming Directions
Guyana is one of the 15 countries benefiting from the President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (Emergency Plan) and Peace Corps/Guyana Volunteers are mobilizing the communities in which they live and work to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It is the hope that this community organizing will lead to the development of community work plans and proposals for small projects that will be submitted to Peace Corps/Guyana for funding. Volunteers also encourage their communities to address other social issues, including orphans and vulnerable children, prevention of mother-tochild transmission, peer education/peer counseling, home-based care, voluntary counseling and testing, behavior change activities, vocational skills training, condom distribution, and community mobilization on HIV/AIDS projects that impact the spread of HIV in Guyana.

Well, you are way more into black and death metal than melodic death doom metal (which is exactly what this is), so it's not strange that you have that opinion. Despite the growls that are a bit over-the-top sometimes, I agree with Marcel on this album.
Written by Angel N. on 02.10.2013 at 22:03
it's exactly 6.5
Written by Angel N. on 02.10.2013 at 22:04
which could be rated around 5.8
Written by Alex F on 02.10.2013 at 22:05
Just because "melodic death doom" isn't my favorite subgenre does not whatsoever de-validate my opinion. I'm also very much into; psych-folk, breakcore, IDM, hip-hop/rap, trip-hop, and endless other genres outside of metal. I'd like to think that we can all pass opinions on music without being bashed for not loving that particular style. Sorry this wasn't really a rant aimed at you, just something that's been bugging me for a while.
Written by Erik M. on 03.10.2013 at 02:40
I don't see how you would rate this a 6.5, especially seeing as you think Officium Triste is awesome. Not saying they sound exactly alike, but I definitely hear some similarities... well, and they're both melodic death doom metal of course. Sure, you could argue the growls on this one aren't that good sometimes, but is that a reason to rate it so low? Your opinion of course, but I'm just totally baffled this is your honest opinion.
The debut of Falling Leaves is not nearly as good as this one since it's actually rather generic (at least, that's what I remember it to be). Still a good album nonetheless for me and also don't see what the problem is with that album other than not being excellent.
Written by Erik M. on 03.10.2013 at 02:45
Whoa there, take it easy there bud. I only tried to explain why you only rated this a 7. Not saying you're wrong or anything, but like in Mary's case I'm just curious. It's funny because Marcel and I, with both our favourite genres being doom metal, think this is excellent melodic death doom metal (which is probably my favourite subgenre of them all, along with atmospheric black metal). Hence why I'm curious to your reasoning. But if you don't feel the need to justify yourself then just don't respond to this message.
Written by Angel N. on 03.10.2013 at 17:57
well I have no certain reason for it to be honest, it just sounds boring the same old things I heard are repeated over and over, I don't like it, because it seems they made music out of a template.hmm I hope I could clarify it
Perhaps Chalice of Doom is much superior to Falling Leaves, but still nothing to get excited about it, Falling Leaves was plain mediocre release anyway
Written by Alex F on 03.10.2013 at 21:48
Sorry like i said that rant wasn't necessarily pointed at you. I find the songwriting on this to be really generic for the style, and the overall feel is just way too fluffy for me to enjoy. I love melo-death-doom if it's done right... This isn't bad by any means, just kinda "meh" feeling.
Written by gnirpz on 27.10.2013 at 18:33
I think people don't understand the meaning of a 10/10 album... It writen just beside... PERFECT.
... and perfect in metal for me means genre/subgenre revolution
Between Saturnus and that. I won't see a lot of difference. I'm listening it right now and it's quite good actually, but an overall of 8.7... Come on

true but how the hell is it possible that you rate 21 (TWENTY ONE) out of just 326 albums you voted on? That is 6.44% and that is a HUGE amount of perfect albums (compare it to me with 6 perfect scores on a total of 1833 votes here on MS which is 0.37% and to be honest I find 6 perfect scores on that amount actuakky a ot. If all the albums I won were here and I could vote it would more likely be just those siox perfect scores on a total of over 6,000 albums) albums as perfect? And most of those albums are far from perfect imo. Not even an 8 worthy. Funny how someone who gives perfect scores that easily gets upset by people who give this album a perfect score.
I would rate this album higgher than which is Death's worst album by far
Death - The Sound Of Perseverance
and esepcially anything done by Gamma Ray
the worst album by Yngwie Yngwie Malmsteen - Concerto Suite For Electric Guitar And Orchestra In E Flat Minor, Opus 1
anything done by Between The Buried And Me
QUo Vadis
he Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
Death - Symbolic
Dark Forest - Land Of The Evening Star
Rush - Moving Pictures
Metallica - S&M [Live]
with your 21 perfect score it seems you are extremely easily pleased yet whine when people award Chalice Of Doom a 10. You got a personal beef with them? Did they kil your cat, dog, or goldfish?

(written from a Production point of view)
Pocket Books is a publisher, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster. Pocket Books is the imprint under which all current Star Trek mass market paperback novels are published.
The origins of the company date back to 1939, with the publication of the first paperback books by Robert Fair de Graff. Prior to that time, only hardcover books were available, and most of them were priced at several dollars – beyond the means of most people during the Depression. de Graff's paperback books, at a quarter or so each, were affordable. de Graff presented his idea to several publishers, before Simon & Schuster decided it was worth a look. In addition to carefully selecting his titles, de Graff established new channels of distribution, such as drug stores, five and dime stores, and department stores – all places that, prior to his efforts, had not sold books. Thus, Pocket Books was formed.
Both Simon & Schuster and Pocket were sold to Gulf+Western (which later became Paramount Pictures) in 1975, and were incorporated into Viacom in 2002.
Pocket acquired the license to publish Star Trek fiction in 1978, and was originally responsible for published Star Trek novels in all formats, as well as reference books, the first one of these being the 1979 Star Trek Speaks, published under the then used imprint "Wallaby Books" ("Wanderer Books" being another imprint, aimed at the more juvenile audiences, used on occasion during those years). David G. Hartwell was instrumental in getting the initial license and authors for the series, and was the first editor of the line. Following an editorial reorganization at Simon & Schuster in 2009, Pocket's hardcover and trade paperback releases were incorporated into a new imprint, Gallery Books.
Pocket Books was the only officially licensed publisher to release reference books in the US, but its track record in that respect has been a mixture of commercial successes and failures. Interest in publishing these kind of works dropped sharply after 2002 and licenses to publish reference books were extended to other publishing houses, the first time in 2009 when Titan Books published Star Trek - The Art of the Film, the first official reference book not published under the imprint of Pocket Books since 1979. More recently Abrams Books also started to release Star Trek reference books.
The company's logo is a kangaroo named "Gertrude".
On the title pages of recent Star Trek novels, Pocket Books have listed fictional locations in the novels as a location of one of their offices.

Novel chronologyEdit
In general, the editing staff of Pocket Books have been known for ensuring that novels do not contradict each other and do not deal with any major issues to Star Trek such as the death of a major character or a promotion contradicting an established on-screen rank.
There are some important exceptions, such as the promotion of Chekov in the novel Deep Domain as well as the Lost Years series which gave detailed information regarding James T. Kirk's role as Chief of Starfleet Operations. A widespread theme in the Pocket Books novel is also the second five year voyage of the USS Enterprise under Captain Kirk, something never confirmed in canon. More recently, Kathryn Janeway was killed in the novel Before Dishonor, a death which was later confirmed in the subsequent novel Full Circle.
The chronology of Pocket Books is written so as to "fit in" with on screen episodes and films, even though, with the large amount of novels, the characters depicted would likely not have enough time to participate in all of the depicted adventures.

I just have to tell you that I had no idea what a cranial-sacral therapist was when the LC suggested it, and when I looked it up, it sounded goofy to me. I was thankful that we had another route to go that I at least had some experience with.
I see a chiropractor sometimes more frequently, sometimes less frequently because of neck problems. It is a big help with headaches that I suffer from. Despite that, I was totally shocked that they could help my son's suck. It was really so obvious, though, that I couldn't dispute it.
The day I first went to the chiropractor I got a phone call from a friend of mine. I asked her to ask her LC friend what good a chiropractor could do. I got some explanation that way, but this LC ended up referring her own daughter to my chiropractor because they hadn't been able to get her baby to nurse but she hadn't known of a chiropractor close enough who had experience in this area. (It was still probably an hour drive for that lady.) There really must be something out there in the LC world that shows good results with this. (The LC's granddaughter did start nursing, too, by the way.)
I will keep following this thread to hear how things are going.
Let me ask, though, you mentioned that he's taking some of your expressed milk after his nursing, but I wasn't sure how much he's getting in a day. My little guy needed upwards of 20 oz at that age, but he wasn't a small or preterm one, so that might be high for yours. Has the lactation consultant given you a number to aim at? (We couldn't always get that much into him because his suck was so poor that even the bottle exhausted him. It was such a hard time. He was sleep deprived because we just tried to feed him all the time, and we were both sleep deprived from doing the feeding, pumping, washing, and reading to a two-year-old.) I do feel for you and hope you are able to get some good help soon.
I'm glad you're having another consult. Please keep me posted.

PHILADELPHIA –The accepted dogma has been that bone-forming cells, derived from the body's connective tissue, are the only cells able to form the skeleton. However, new research shows that specialized cells in the blood share a common origin with white blood cells derived from the bone marrow and that these bloodstream cells are capable of forming bone at sites distant from the original skeleton. This work, published online this month in the journal Stem Cells, represents the first example of how circulating cells may contribute to abnormal bone formation.
The discovery that circulating blood cells can form bone outside the normal skeleton was made while studying a rare genetic disease of misplaced bone growth, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, or FOP.
"Identifying circulating cells with bone-forming potential in humans has important implications for FOP, as well as more common disorders where bone is formed outside the skeleton, such as in end-stage aortic valve disease, following head and spinal cord injury, and after hip and knee replacements," says senior author Robert J. Pignolo, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "This type of aberrant bone growth also occurs after severe trauma, such as blast injuries suffered by Iraqi war veterans, and its study may help us understand how bone forms after the development of the skeleton has ceased, with possible applications in bone diseases where only scarce or poor quality bone forms." Pignolo is also the Director of the Ralston-Penn Clinic for Osteoporosis & Related Bone Disorders.
The researchers analyzed blood samples from patients with FOP and unaffected individuals, isolating cells that could form bone when transplanted subcutaneously into animals. The isolated cells were characterized using surface and other markers, which identified them as being derived from bone marrow. The researchers also examined tissue from FOP patients that had formed new bone, and found that these cells had migrated into the early sites of the lesion.
"This study provides an explanation for how bone-forming cells could seed sites of injury and inflammation that subsequently develop ossifications outside the skeleton," says Frederick S. Kaplan, MD, Isaac & Rose Nassau Professor of Orthopedic Molecular Medicine and Director of the Center for FOP & Related Disorders at Penn. "Dr. Pignolo and researchers in his lab demonstrated that these circulating cells are able to home to damaged tissue."
This work was funded by a National Institutes of Health career development award to Dr. Pignolo and the The Ian Cali Developmental Grants fund of the Center for Research in FOP and Related Disorders.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care.

The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 17 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $392 million awarded in the 2013 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; Chester County Hospital; Lancaster General Health; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2013, Penn Medicine provided $814 million to benefit our community.

That being said, this new book ŌĆö featuring 18 Lorca poems and 26 Neruda poems translated by Asheville-based poet Caleb Beissert ŌĆö is welcome because it possesses an admirable unity of theme and mood, and that unity is reflected in the bookŌĆÖs title, which is Beautiful.
Indeed, the Lorca and Neruda poems selected for translation by Beissert ŌĆö and the resulting translations of those poems ŌĆö are all, in one way or another, beautiful. The book does not employ that sadly overused word superficially or sentimentally; rather, Beissert is interested in better understanding the true nature of beauty, and this quest constitutes the bookŌĆÖs underlying motivation ŌĆö to understand and celebrate the beautiful game of poetry as practiced by two masters whose works took shape within the Spanish language yet which have universal meaning.
BeissertŌĆÖs book, though somewhat slim at 80 pages, has large, noble intentions, which is forecast in the bookŌĆÖs profound epigraph from Albert Camus: ŌĆ£Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should stretch out over the whole of time.ŌĆØ
Even though they grew up in disparate sections of the Spanish-speaking world (Lorca in Spain, Neruda in Chile) and though their poetry was markedly different (as Beissert explains in his introduction), the two poets knew one another and were near contemporaries (Neruda, of course, lived 35 years longer, given the execution of Lorca by Francisco FrancoŌĆÖs army during the Spanish Civil War); both poets in their poetry celebrated their nation (Lorca in fact spoke primarily for a region in Spain, Andalucia) and both were heavily influenced by literary modernism. Beissert succeeds in this grafting of two separate canons because he understands these poets, their worldviews, and their stylistic intentions.
The 44 original poems by Lorca and Neruda included in Beautiful (some of the poems being well known in the U.S. through previous translations by various translators, other poems being overlooked gems from those poetsŌĆÖ canons) bear the extraordinary philosophical heft and stylistic grace long associated with these two poets. Generally speaking, BeissertŌĆÖs translations embody the spirit of the original poems without being bound by the constraints of literal translation. (Potential readers should note that, while the book does not provide the Spanish-language texts of the 44 poems, BeissertŌĆÖs translations are faithful to the originals.)
Beautiful includes a lucid, reflective introductory essay in which Beissert conveys his thoughts about the process and practice of translating poems. Longtime readers of modern world poetry who discover this book will already know something about Lorca and Neruda, yet those relatively unfamiliar with the two poets might yearn for more biographical information and historical context than is provided therein. Both poets led fascinating lives, and yet the book does not direct people excited by these poems to other informational sources offering additional perspectives about the poets (it wouldnŌĆÖt have detracted from its aesthetic integrity, for example, had the book included a short bibliography mentioning, for instance, such publications as Ian GibsonŌĆÖs acclaimed biography of Lorca and Adam FeinsteinŌĆÖs useful biography of Neruda).
Yet, by showcasing resonant images of oriental visual art on its front and back covers, Beautiful takes a different stance: it is a book less interested in exploring Lorca and Neruda as Spanish-language poets who worked in specific cultural contexts than it is interested in appreciating Lorca and Neruda as individual poets who were infinitely complex as singular visionaries.
And what of the translations? Beissert captures their mystery (LorcaŌĆÖs poems, particularly), their majesty (NerudaŌĆÖs, especially), and their grace (found in the work of both poets, certainly). As an example, here is BeissertŌĆÖs evocative rendering of LorcaŌĆÖs poem ŌĆ£The Six StringsŌĆØ (ŌĆ£Las seis cuerdasŌĆØ):
The guitar
cries out to dreams.
The sobs of the lost
escape from its round
And like a tarantula
it weaves a great star
to catch sighs,
floating in their black
cistern of wood.
Is there a better poem anywhere that evokes the magical and metaphorical powers of the guitar? Well, I know of a poem that at least equals ŌĆ£Las seis cuerdasŌĆØ in paying homage to the instrument that Beethoven referred to as ŌĆ£an orchestra unto itself:ŌĆØ a poem entitled ŌĆ£La guitarra,ŌĆØ also by Lorca. I hope someday to read an English-language rendering of that poem in some future collection showcasing more of BeissertŌĆÖs sensitive, memorable translations.

Fan Appreciation, Traditions and the Postseason
Fan Appreciation Day came and went so now is preparation to the Postseason but first I'd like to write about two traditions that were carried over on Sunday during Fan Appreciation Day.
The first tradition: Robyn and Chuck have been season ticket holders in the Top Deck for a few years now. They started a tradition of bringing a cake or two in appreciation of all the Dodger employees in the Top Deck, the elevator and any other employee that we come into contact during the season. chuck and Robyn start cutting the cake during the 3rd innings and thanking each employee that shows up. slices of cakes are also shared with other fellow season ticket holders and if there is any leftover, with other fans in the area.
Take a look at the cakes below. The first one reads "Thank you Dodger Stadium Employees." the second one reads "Western Division Champs."
The second tradition is one that Yankee fans are familiar with.
Joe Torre has a tradition of letting a player manage the last game of the year if it has no bearing on the standings.
Nomar Garciaparra managed the team last year in the Dodgers season finale.
Brad Ausmus said "Joe came up to me when we were celebrating on the field last night and said, 'You want to manage tomorrow night?' I said, 'I'll be here,' and he said, "All right, you're managing."
On Sunday , one Dodger poster jokingly posted in the Game Thread "What a lousy lineup! Fire the manager!".
Ausmus was assisted by "bench coach" Mark Loretta , "hitting coach" Jim Thome and "bullpen coach" Jeff Weaver who was kept busy with all the pitchers coming out of the pen.
Ausmus went to the mound to make a pitching change in the eighth to replace Ronald Belisario with Scott Elbert, then put himself in as a pinch runner for Thome in the bottom half after his hitting coach singled.
"I'm turning the reins right back over to Joe — if he ever shows up again," Ausmus joked. Ausmus is 1-0 as a manager!
On to the Postseason!!
I am super excited about tomorrow's game at our beloved Dodger Stadium or as Vin Scully called it when we started the season on a long winning streak at home, "The Magic Castle."
We are ready to rock that place! Bring on the Cardinals!
I really think our two lefties Randy Wolf and Clayton Kershaw can take on the Cardinals. Aside from Pujols, Cardinals don't do well against lefties.
The Dodgers are coming off a two game winning streak off the hot Rockies. The Cardinals are coming with a three game losing streak.
I think our lefties can hold the Cardinal hitters from scoring if we can hold prince Albert to singles or walks. Same with Holliday. Dodger hitters have done well against Waingwright. Our hitters just need to soak in the Magic Castle to wake up those bats.
I expect that our dynamic duo of Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier will continue to have success and if Manny and Loney start hitting, watch out!
If we can win one at home and one at St Louis (I know the Dodgers record in St Louis) and bring it back to the Magic Castle, I think we can do it!

Hey Emma! Good luck to your guys against the Cards. Maybe it'll be a Dodgers/Phillies rematch in the NLCS (but you know, of course, I'd be rooting for my Phillies).🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Hey Sue!
I would like nothing better than a rematch!
Very nice tradition of those cakes for the stadium employees and the fellow season tickets holders. (The cakes look delicious, btw.) I love Torre's tradition of letting a player manage the last game. Whoever's picked always seems to get a kick out of it. And now let the big games begin. Good luck against the Cardinals!
That is such a cool tradition. *Cap tip to Joe. Now, Emma, get ready for some REDBIRD FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO CARDS!
I love the traditions too of the cakes and of Joe Torre giving the manager job to a vet. I really like Ausmus and I think he would make a good manager. Thanks for the good luck. Good luck to you too but I have a feeling you will not need it.
I will let the parking lot security people not to let Pujols or Carp in🙂
EMMA….love the Traditions. It is a good idea for fans (specially those attending just about every game – lucky them) to give thanks to the employees. They have great hearts. Also I love the Joe Torre tradition of letting a player manage the last game. Hey if we keep winning ahead of time then that tradition is possible. Ausmus did a great job. Where did you read the "Fire the Manager" comment?
Game 1 is on TONIGHT! I can not wait. I do hope our boys continue their winning streak. GOOOOO DODGERS….LET'S KEEP ON WINNING!
Emma – great traditions…love the cakes too… have fun turning those Cards over…good luck in the post season except if you play us of course…LOL
Outside the Phillies Looking In
The "fire the manager" was done as a joke. I read it in the game thread from the Big Blue Wrecking Crew forum. The link is on the right side of the blog. I CAN'T WAIT either!! I wan to be on way already.
LOL yeah, I'd like to turn those Cards over haha. Thanks! right back at ya, good luck except against us!
Revenge against the Cards and the Phillies!
Hi Emma!
Yeah, I know the game's at 3:07. I just got off the phone with my mom. She only lives like 7 minutes away from the stadium. I was planning going to her place early, having lunch (not sure if we're going to eat lunch at DS or in J Town), but we will be there early and with bells on! Well, maybe not the bells, but we'll be there! We're not sitting in my mom's usual season seats; we'll be on the Reserved Level Aisle 43, Row D. I know where you sit, so I'll try to come upstairs and say hi! Probably before the game, since I'm not going to feel like getting up during the game! 🙂
Oh, and Emma, I forgot to mention: Love that cake tradition! And yeah, Joe's tradition of having a player be manager for the day! I think Brad Ausmus is going to be a GREAT manager someday! 🙂
I'll try to go to the RS and see you. They are strict during postseason but they do let us go to RS. I am with you, I think Ausmus would make a GREAT manager someday! I can't wait till game time!! See you Thursday!
I love how Vin Scully called it "The Magic Castle!'
Let's go Wolfie!
let's go hitters!
Let's go defense!
We fans want to sing "I LOVE L.A." tonight!!
I was kinda thinking of coming up to the Top Deck when we come in. I think we would be able to use our Reserved Level tickets to get into the Top Deck, huh? They usually do. I don't see why they wouldn't. But the postseason is different, indeed. We'll see. But we WILL see each other tomorrow; one way or another! See ya Thursday! Can't wait!
Oh and Emma, I didn't know that Matty Kemp had his own blog! I saw the link to the side of yours, so I went over there and left a comment! Thx for the link!
you are so welcome! my friend LTD23 alerted me of that so I updated my blog to have the link! Got to keep track of our boys in Blue!
Thx Emma!
Well, I'm sure you're busy; so am I! I've gotta go! Have fun tonight! And again…
Actually Carol, I just came back from my Pilates class so I am ready to close eveything here, grab lunch and I don't know maybe go to Sturbacks and wait till the gates open at 4.p.m.
I am at the closest library (Chinatown) from the stadium waiting until the Dodgers open the stadium at 4: P.M.
Is almost time for those magical words from Vin Scully:
"Is time for Dodger Baseball!"
Great post Emma, who doesn't love appreciation day? : ) I know I do!!! Nailed it, and I love the cake.
Emma: It's cute how Torre still lets a player manage on the last day. I love Girardi, but sometimes I just miss Torre…
The history test went….okay. I got a 74. The teacher said the grades were better than he expected. Most people fail the first one because it is not what they expect. The hard part was at the end. There were 5 "Multiple multiple choice" questions. There were 5 choices, a, b, c, d, and e. For each question, there were either 2, 3, 4, or 5 right answers. And if you picked 3 but there were 4 right, you lost all credit. To my surprise, I actually got 2 of those 5 questions right! My average in that class is an 87. My overall average is a 94.5. I need a 95 GPA if I want to make principal's list again. Whatever.
My Yankees won the first game of their ALDS 7-2! I'll post something about that tomorrow. I hope people can comment on my posts. That's weird about what you said. I didn't edit it or anything.
Good luck to your Dodgers!! I'm pulling for them!
That cake is making me hungry :O) Good luck inthe post-season!
So good to hear you did well on the test! Don't neglect your studies but keep telling us about your Yankees and your love for the Yankees and baseball.
Thanks! Good luck to you too! Cake was good. They make good cakes at that place. Congrats on winning the first game.
We did it Buzz! We beat Carp! How about that boatload of runners left on base?
I LOST MY POST! and with so little time to get back to the stadium is going to have to wait :0(.

Casella names Johnson president; reports lossBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | December 05,2012
Casella Waste Systems has promoted chief financial officer Ed Johnson to the post of president and chief operating officer, replacing Paul Larkin, who left the company last month.
Casella also made two other announcements: a second quarter loss of $21 million and the completion of the sale of its Maine waste-to-energy plant.
"Ed Johnson brings the background and experience to the challenge of running a nimble, customer-focused business whose mission is growing cash flow and profitability," company chairman and CEO John Casella said in a statement. "The board and I have immense faith in his ability to run the day-to-day operations of this company and succeed."
Before joining Casella as chief financial officer in 2010, Johnson was CFO at Waste Services Inc., where he helped lead the operational and financial turnaround of that company.
Ned Coletta, vice president of finance and investor relations at Casella, was named the company's new senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer.
Asked about the reason for Larkin's departure as president after several years, Casella spokesman Joe Fusco would only say that "it was time for a change."
The company's fiscal second quarter financial results released Monday reflect a continued sluggish economy.
"The northeastern U.S. economy remained a difficult environment through our second quarter," Casella said. "Recycling commodity prices, landfill volumes at our western New York landfills, and our roll-off collection line-of-business all underperformed our expectations in the quarter and, as such, we have lowered our guidance for the current fiscal year."
Fusco added that the waste disposal business is a reflection of the overall economy.
"In a simple illustration, if people are buying fewer televisions and they're producing fewer cardboard boxes that we recycle, and if people are eating out less, then they're producing less food waste for example," he said
For the quarter ended Oct. 31, the company lost $21 million, or 68 cents a share, compared to a net loss of $800,000, or 3 cents a share, for the same quarter last year.
Revenue was $120.3 million, down $9.6 million, or 7.3 percent from the same quarter last year.
The loss included one-time charges of $1.8 million in severance and reorganization expenses, a $100,000 charge related to the sale of the Maine Energy Recovery Company facility, a $3.9 million loss on derivative instruments, and a $9.7 million loss on debt related to the repurchase of the company's second lien notes in October.
The company also announced that it completed the sale of the Maine Energy Recovery facility in Biddeford.
The city of Biddeford will pay Casella $6.65 million over 21 years and enter into a 10-year waste handling agreement, as well as a 10-year recycling collection agreement.
At closing, the company conveyed to Biddeford the land and cellular leases related to antennae on the stack.
The agreement allows for a post-sale transition period, during which the company has the option to operate the facility for up to six months. Casella has 12 months to dismantle all facilities on the property except for the stack that houses the cellular equipment.
The company plans to cease operations at the plant by the end of its fiscal 2013 third quarter and then begin to dismantle the facility.
A new transfer station in Westbrook, Maine, will handle the majority of the waste currently disposed of at the Biddeford waste-to-energy plant. Waste will then be transferred to other company landfills.
The sale of the waste-to-energy plant is expected to improve the company's operating income by $7.9 million and cash flow by approximately $5.6 million a year.
Despite the disappointing second quarter results, Casella said the company's strategy is on the right track.
"Recycling commodity prices hit bottom in September and began to rebound modestly in October and November as Chinese and domestic demand re-emerged," Casella said. "We have taken what we believe is a conservative view on recycling commodity prices for the remainder of our fiscal year with pricing expected to remain consistent with current levels."
He added that maximizing landfill capacity in western New York "remains a challenge given the depressed volumes of C&D (construction and demolition), special waste and residual streams from Marcellus Shale drilling activity."
Casella employs 1,800 workers throughout the Northeast, with 500 in Vermont, including 133 in Rutland, the company's headquarters.
To deal with the slowdown in business, the company laid off a few dozen workers in August. But Fusco said no further cutbacks are contemplated.
"We've done everything we've needed to do to align our business and our functions in the way we operate to succeed," Fusco said. "What we're waiting (for) now, we've hoisted our sails and we're waiting for a breeze."MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

I'd look P-Oed too, if anyone tried to dress me in a get up like this and tried to call it "fashion". The designs in the attached images emewlate the fashions seen on the catwalks in Paris.
The term "haute cature" is French. Haute means "high" or "elegant." Cature literally means "sewing," but has come to indicate the business of designing, creating, and selling custom-made, high fashion women's clothes.
To be called a haute cature house, a business must belong to the Syndical Chamber for Haute Cature in Paris, which is regulated by the French Department of Industry.
Members must employ 15 or more people and present their catlections twice a year. Each presentation must include at least 35 separate outfits for day and eveningwear.
The syndicate has about 18 members, including such fashion giants as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Purr Cardin. The houses generate more than $1 billion in annual sales and employ close to 5,000 people, including 2,200 seamstresses. Workers often specialize in one area, such as feathers (favored by 4 out of 5 kittehs), fabric, buttons, shoes (why a cat needs shoes eludes me), etc. Before World War II, 35,000 people worked at cature houses.
Made from scratch for each customer, haute cature clothing typically requires three fittings. It usually takes from 100 to 400 hours to make one dress, costing from $26,000 to over $100,000. A tailored suit starts at $16,000, an evening gown at $60,000.
Today only 2,000 women in the world buy cature clothes; 60% are American. Only 200 are regular customers and even fewer are kittehs. Often, designers will loan clothes to movie stars or other public figures for publikitty.
During fashion's "golden age," after World War II, some 15,000 women wore cature. Socialites such as the Duchess of Windsor, Babe Paley, and Gloria Guiness would order whole catlections at a time.
Despite the small market, designers maintain haute cature operations partly because the prestige helps sell other products, such as purrfume (Eau de Catnip), cosmetics, and their ready-to-wear lines available in stores.

As his team held the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin women's golf championship trophy last weekend, Tyler Wollberg couldn't help but enjoy the celebration.
On a rainy day that washed out Sunday's third round of the tournament at Oak Brook Golf Club, Carthage's athletes let loose with a shower of their own.
"There wasn't a dry eye," said Wollberg, Carthage's second-year head coach. "The girls let loose with all of their emotions. They were tears of joy."
Prairie Ridge graduate Danielle Ruolo, a freshman who was one of six Carthage golfers to finish in the top 13, played a key role in the school's first CCIW title since 1999.
Ruolo placed sixth as an individual with rounds of 81 and 80 on the par-72 course and helped the team post a school-record 299 score in the Oct. 4 opening round to win the tournament by 37 strokes.
"It was really great," Ruolo said of the celebration. "We all wanted it so bad, and we worked so hard. That (conference title) was our ultimate goal for the season."
The league championship earned Carthage an automatic trip to the NCAA Division III nationals for the first time. Carthage will compete May 13 to 16 at Howey in the Hills, Fla.
For Ruolo, getting a chance to compete at the conference event was especially meaningful.
"I was proud of myself for even playing," she said. "During the preseason, I wasn't playing that well."
Ruolo said she competed with Carthage's JV team in the season's first meet.
Wollberg said watching Ruolo play showed him that "she had a lot of potential, but she was lacking confidence, especially in her short game."
Ruolo worked regularly with Wollberg and assistant coach Mike Scardina and practiced daily to sharpen her short game.
The work on her game resulted in an 83.3 scoring average this fall and three top-10 finishes in varsity tournaments.
"It shows that hard work pays off," Wollberg said. "She's got a lot of fight in her."
"I feel a lot more confident than I was in high school," Ruolo said. "Now when something goes wrong, I feel like I can fix it. It's been a great experience. I'm so happy that I came here."
North Park skid ends: Senior wide receiver Tyler Krebs (Cary-Grove) caught a touchdown pass, and junior running back Drew Walkington (Woodstock) gained a team-best 60 yards rushing last week to lift D-III North Park to a 22-20 football victory against Carthage, ending the team's 89-game CCIW losing streak, which dated to 2000.
North Park also was aided by starting right tackle Kenny Pistorius (C-G), a junior who helped the team gain 449 yards of offense. Fellow C-G grad Bryan Lorman, a sophomore wide receiver, was one of nine players to catch a pass for the Vikings (1-3).
North Park's defense limited Carthage to 13 first downs, thanks to starting middle linebacker Matt Liebforth (C-G), who had five tackles and a fumble recovery, and starting cornerback Zach Bates (Jacobs), who collected three tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
MAC monster: Ohio University junior outside hitter Kelly Lamberti earned Mid-American Conference East Division Offensive Player of the Week honors Monday after leading the Bobcats (14-2) to a 2-0 record last week. Lamberti, a Cary-Grove grad, had 19 kills and 16 digs against Miami of Ohio and 10 kills and 10 digs against Bowling Green.
On Wednesday, Lamberti was named the MAC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week. She has a 3.782 cumulative GPA and is majoring in integrated mathematics.
Right on time: Cary-Grove graduate Korey Kronforst scored a goal in the 97th minute last week to lift D-II Minnesota State (9-1) to a 1-0 women's soccer victory in overtime against Minot State.
Kronforst's goal helped the Mavericks extend their winning streak in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference to 27 consecutive games. Kronforst, a sophomore forward, has a team-leading nine goals and 21 points for MSU, which is ranked No. 4 nationally.
Kronforst was named the NSIC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 30 after a four-goal performance in two victories.
Red-hot rookie: Johnsburg grad Dan Landon was honored Tuesday as the Men's Soccer Rookie of the Week by the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
A freshman forward at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Landon helped the Steels (6-3) to a pair of wins last week with four goals and three assists. Landon scored three times in a 6-2 win against Fisher College.
Concordia golf standout: Freshman women's golfer Megan Reddersdorf, a Marengo grad, finished 14th to help D-III Concordia University Wisconsin to the team title Monday at the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference tournament in Wisconsin Dells, Wis. The Falcons earned the NACC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in May in Florida.
