Take Action This Equal Pay Day
April 9th is Equal Pay Day, a chance to acknowledge the persistent income gap between men and women and to commit to doing something to close it. Each year, Equal Pay Day is celebrated on the date that marks how much longer a woman must work to earn the same pay a man earned, on average, during the previous year. In 2012, women in the U.S. would have had to work 15 months and nine days to receive a paycheck equal to what men doing the same job received in just 12 months.
Women who work full-time are paid just 77 cents for every dollar paid to men who do the same. Broken down by race, the gap is even larger. African American women and Latinas earn just 64 and 55 cents, respectively, for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. Elana S. came to LAS-ELC alleging that she was paid less than male supervisors performing similar duties in other departments at her workplace, a food processing company. The pay differential claimed was significant - about $400 per month. LAS-ELC represented Elana and filed a lawsuit on her behalf which resulted in a confidential settlement. But most women in her situation are not aware that their work is being devalued in this way, and so are not able to take action. Those who do know can be penalized for sharing that information.
2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, President Kennedy's attempt to fix this problem. The law requires employers to pay workers equal wages for equal work and expressly prohibits wage discrimination based on the employee's gender. But the wage gap persists, closing by less than half a cent per year. At this rate, it will take over 40 more years until women are paid equally for their work.
But there is something we can do to help speed the closing of this gap. The Paycheck Fairness Act, recently reintroduced in Congress, would make it harder for employers to hide pay discrimination, would penalize employers who retaliate against workers who share wage and salary information, and would reward employers that have good pay practices. Please take a minute to contact your member of Congress and urge them to support the Paycheck Fairness Act.
LAS-ELC's Gender Equity and LGBT Rights Program is committed to fighting for pay equity for women through education, advocacy, and direct representation. If you believe you have received unequal pay, benefits, or treatment at work because of your sex, pregnancy, race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, you can learn more about your rights by calling us at 415-864-8848.

Vermont Granite Museum making progressBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | April 07,2014BARRE The Vermont Granite Museum is still a work in progress, but organizers believe it can be a destination both indoors and out.
On Thursday the emphasis was on the outdoors as a collection of museum board members, city officials, community volunteers and river experts trudged through deep snow on a largely undeveloped 12.5-acre property that will be getting some grant-funded attention in coming months.
Credit Ann Smith, executive director of the Friends of the Winooski, for writing the application for the newly awarded $5,000 watersheds grant that will cover the cost of what she characterized as an ecological restoration master plan for a property that is blessed with roughly 5,000 feet of riverfront.
Smiths organization has put in a fair amount of work over the past few years removing invasive plant species from the disturbed, but undeveloped banks of the Stevens Branch of the Winooski River and planting native species in their place.
This has been a place weve long been interested in, Smith explained on a tour of the property that included Steve Libby of the Vermont River Conservancy.
This whole site to me is a very unique site, she said. Its the only large, open, publicly accessible piece of riparian land on the Barre-Montpelier Road and that to me makes it special.
However, Smith freely conceded, the industrial history of the expansive site poses some unique challenges from an ecological restoration standpoint.
Once home to Jones Brothers a company that openly boasted it was the largest monumental works in the world the site is underlain with granite that makes putting a shovel in the ground difficult.
The grant will finance plans to hire a restoration consultant to work with a committee, including many of those who toured the site on Thursday, to develop a comprehensive plan to restore the site and address issues associated with stormwater runoff.
With the museum pursuing plans to create a sculpture walk along an already plotted but yet-to-be-built section of bike path that will run from one end of the property to the other, the plan is viewed as a key component to successfully integrate the old Jones Brothers plant and its associated parking area with plans for the bike path segment, and the natural area that is located on the western half of the property. The restoration plan will focus primarily on that half of the property.
In addition to enlisting Smiths assistance, museum organizers have tapped Barre resident Ellen Sivret, a retired restoration specialist with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, who has taken a keen interest in the property that she views as a rare natural asset in an otherwise urban setting.
Thursdays site visit was the kickoff to a process that will lead to the selection of a consultant over the summer and should yield a comprehensive restoration plan by September, according to museum board member Patricia Merriam.
I think this has the potential to be a really special destination, said Merriam, who led Thursdays tour and described plans to eventually place 10 strategically located sculpture platforms on a property that she believes can be an important recreational and cultural asset to the city.

Great tool, but some limitations

Comments about
Beall Wood Buff System
I bought my Beall system about a year ago and use it regularly with excellent results. My only slightly negative comment is that you HAVE to use the bowl buffs in conjunction with it to finish the inside of most bowls. A design recommendation I would suggest is that the mandrel that the buffing pads are mounted on be made longer so you have more room between them to get inside of larger (over 6 - 7"diameter) bowls.
Overall, I like the tool quite a bit and would buy it again and recommend it to others.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Fantastic product
Ansonia, CT
About Me
If you're contemplating buying this system just do it...you won't be disappointed. I just used it for the first time. It couldn't be any easier, and the results were beautiful. I sanded my project to 400 grit then buffed the bare wood following the instructions and wow, what a finish! I'd be curious to try it next time with an oil finish before buffing as suggested in their directions. I also bought the 3" bowl buffs to go with the system and they worked perfectly as well.
sweet shine, some of the time...
Granbury, TX
I have used for many years a combination of fine sanding and buffing to achieve a high gloss polish on the bowls I produce. After listening to and watching more than a few videos featuring the Beall system, I become convinced that this would improve and speed my finishing.
The buffs are nice, even though they tend to shred constantly in use. Patience is required to achieve that "million dollar shine", just as it would be if I did NOT purchase this system.
If you make many natural edge bowls, note that pieces of the buff WILL end up caught in your bark.
Overall, if I knew what I know now, I would not purchase this system. Since I have this system in my shop, however, I will use it every time I am able.
This is an adequate tool for my toolbox.
The next field I am asked to enter is the "bottom line", or, would I recommend this to a friend, and that would depend on the projects my friend were undertaking in general. There will be times I would recommend this, there will be times I will suggest a different procedure...
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent product
Jon Murphy
Englishtown, NJ
As a wood turner I've been using a triple buffing system mounted on my lathe for some time (I don't have space for a separate buffing machine). I bought a knock-off of the triple Beale mount. After watching the use of the individual Beale buffers at a demo at my woodturning club I decided to get the real Beale - but didn't buy the triple lathe system.
I happen to have a 1 x 8 spindle mount designed for the Beale screw on wheels (I'd been using it with the "ball buffs"). It is not sold by Beale, and I've only seen it at Craft Supplies (Woodcraft, take note). It allows me to use my lathe as my buffer, and with the quick change the Beale screw mounting allows is more convenient than either the Beale or the PSI knockoff triple mount system (which requires the tail stock).
But the key to my pleasure with these wheels is the quality of the buffing. The unstitched wheels of differing materials are more effective, at least to my taste.
I left off a star only because of the lack of a simple quick change mount for the lathe. Using the lathe for buffing has the added advantage of variable speed over a wide range (I buff at about 1800 with an 8" wheel, and at about 2800 with a 4" wheel, and vary that further for the "bowl buffs". That mount is available (as noted above).
I recommend the Beale wheels, but with the caveat that I find them best used on the VS lathe with a spindle mount that screws to the head stock. At first I wanted to get a dedicated motor to mount the included attachment jig, then when I realized how easy it was to use my lathe with the mount I had, and the advantage of the variable speed, I retired the attachment jig.
Oh My Gosh - My Newest Favorite Tool
Dave Van
Otsego, Michigan
About Me
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I read about the Beall Woodbuff System in a magazine, then watched the video online, and thought "It can't be that easy and that effective." I was wrong. This is a fantastic tool. I am using it on turned projects and sculpted bandsaw boxes.
I went to a local industrial surplus outlet and picked up a used 3/4 HP 1725 RPM motor with a long shaft really cheap. Then I called my local Woodcraft Store in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Gary said they had one Beall Woodbuff System left in stock, so he brought it up to the counter to save it for me.
Back home, I wired a plug-in cord with a foot pedal to the used motor in about 15 minutes (had to reverse the black and red wires to make it run counterclockwise) then slipped the adapter onto the shaft, mounted the arbor, mounted the cloth buff, applied the Tripoli bar that came with the system, and I was buffing in about 20 minutes. Wow - I could not have imagined the fantastic hard shine the Beall Woodbuff System puts on my projects. I don't often get this enthusiastic, but I just love this tool.
Note: A cloud of cloth lint comes off the buffing wheels the first time, especially the White Diamond and Wax wheels, so it would be a good idea to rub a hardwood stick on the wheels and get someone to hold a shop vac up to the wheels the first time you turn on the motor. The instructions say that, but I ignored that part, and I had a lot of sweeping to do...
Good quality
I bought the MT#2 with the shaft extension even though some had commented on the run out. I added the #20 threaded rod through the lathe with a self turned bushing and nut. I have had no problems with run out.
Beall Wood Buff System
Big Daddy
Tazewell, TN
About Me
I do a considerable amount of lathe work in my shop, anything from minitures up to large projects. This particular system works as advertised on all projects ( the only exceptions would be the inside of bowls) and it delivers an outstanding finish. It's easy to use, just follow the directions. Make sure in the beginning when you are stripping the pads and getting ready for your fisrt use that you have a shop vac or a dust colecter hooked up you will need it.
Adam Baumgartner aka radambomb

I was a little dismayed when I first started using the Beall Buffing System. I was not getting the results I had hoped, but it turns out that I was applying way to much pressure. Re-watching the Beall woodcraft video really helped me to get the process down and now It seems to work like magic!
Make sure you have a low speed motor, and go easy on the white diamond and the wax.

I was about to give up searching for(in my place)a motor with a suitable pulley & proper mandrel in building my own buffing machine. Then I found a complete set ( Beall Wood Buff System)
It is a complete set for my case that do not own Lathe or proper Buffing machine. The machine shaft adapter is just nice for me who have an electric motor without the need to spend extra bucks to buy pulley and mandrel and most importantly it is easy to mount to the motor's shaft.
Overall - easy to mount easy to use - it's a fun project!

The career of Scott Haebich '78 has taken many twists and turns, including his most recent endeavor in co-owning and operating a glassblowing studio. For the past two years, Haebich has been working in a studio near Grand Rapids, MI, where he shapes his signature flowers, jewel-tone pumpkins and free-form bowls.
"I'm really attracted to the organic and abstract nature of this art form," Haebich says. "I've spent many years creating stained glass, which is much more structured and doesn't allow any improvising. With glassblowing, you're manipulating the shapes and colors as you go. Every day in the studio is an adventure."
His interest in glassblowing began 10 years ago, when friends introduced him to the art form. He later became "addicted," he says, and two years ago was able to join two fellow artists in setting up a studio. "It came at a time when I was transitioning out of publishing for the stained-glass industry."
Glassblowing intrigues Haebich because the process can produce unexpected results. Heating the raw material—clear, molten glass—takes about a day inside the furnace. Then, every piece begins with a simple bubble at the end of the pipe and the artist can incorporate more glass and the desired colors. "As you blow the piece, the colors interact with each other," Haebich explains.
Haebich didn't foresee a career in art when he graduated from North Central College with an individualized major in business communications. He moved to Indianapolis and took up a hobby creating stained-glass. He worked for a retail store that catered to stained-glass enthusiasts and then had the chance to manage—and later own—a store in Grand Rapids. Later, Haebich started publishing a quarterly newspaper called Stained Glass News. While it grew to a circulation of 100,000, he also started publishing stained-glass pattern books.
Haebich sold the store in 1996 and continued publishing until he started to focus on glassblowing. "Although I've always had interests in music and art, to end up with a career in the arts has come as a surprise," Haebich says. "But I really enjoy the marketing aspect, too, and my entire career has been a great mix of art and business."
He's still honing his marketing plan for his art, which is currently carried by seven galleries in Michigan and one in Indiana. He's especially pleased to have his work sold at Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, which provides steady sales. Yet art shows are also part of the marketing mix. "You can sell more at one art show than in all the galleries combined over a month."
Haebich adds, "I need to help cover the cost of the furnace running 24/7, which is not cheap. But if I can have fun and not lose money, I'm happy."
Haebich comes from a family of North Central graduates—father David '48, sister Sue Haebich '75 Fujiu and brother-in-law Dave Fujiu '74. Scott can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and his website www.HaebichGlass.com includes a schedule of upcoming shows.

Notable Books List
Winner Lists
Purpose: Since 1944, the goal of the Notable Books Council has been to make available to the nation's readers a list of 25 very good, very readable, and at times very important fiction, nonfiction, and poetry books for the adult reader.
History: The Notable Books List evolved from an activity sponsored by the Lending Round Table of the American Library Association (ALA) in 1944. Since then, the selection of a list of notable or outstanding books of the year has been carried out in a variety of ways, and under various auspices. For three years, the selection was known as Outstanding Books, and was prepared by the ALA Lending Section, with the assistance of membership votes. In 1947, the Division of Public Libraries assumed responsibility of producing the list, changing the name to Notable Books. In 1955, the Notable Books Committee was expanded to become a 12-member Council, and in 1958 was transferred to the Adult Services Division. In 1959, the RASD Board of Directors adopted a statement of purpose and a list of criteria for Notable Books. These documents codified the characteristic philosophy and methodology of Notable Books and remain guiding principles today. In 1966, the Council began a reconsideration of the purposes and procedures of the selection of the Notable Books, the first step being revision of the Manual. With the merger of RSD and ASD in 1972, the Notable Books Council became a committee of the Reference and Adult Services Division. (Condensed and updated from "The Notable Books Project, 1044-55; Summary by S. Janice Kee, prepared January 1956.")
Council Operations: The operations of the Council have undergone subtle changes during the 1990's. Meetings are now limited to regular ALA conference dates; the 12-member Council no longer relies upon participating libraries for input; a publicity subcommittee has been established in order to further recognition and use of the Notable Book designation; and, Literary Tastes, an author event and book signing that takes place at the ALA Annual Conference. The Council enjoys enthusiastic support of most major publishers in providing review copies of books for Council members.
In 1991 the Notable Books Council came under the aegis of Collection Development and Evaluation Section (CODES) following the restructuring of RASD (now RUSA). The Council reports to the Chair of CODES rather than directly to the Division President or RUSA Executive Director.
Submission: The Notable Books Council considers titles based on stellar reviews published in standard library reviewing sources and other authoritative sources. While unsolicited titles will be accepted, the committee is under no obligation to consider them. For further information, please contact the Committee Chair, Victoria Caplinger (email@example.com).

Maine Haaaaaa
If you're not reading my buddy Hot Foot during the off-season, then you're just plain missing out. It was by following his links that I found this sheer gem of a pic: Our beloved Johnny Maine looking like a fierce warrior…wig and all…while on a tour of Kyoto.
What, you say? This picture deserves cropping for even heightened enjoyment? Why, I couldn't agree more.
Is that a sword in your pocket, Johnny? Or you just happy to…
No, really. Maine deserves kudos for going above and beyond and taking full advantage of his trip to Japan. Another reason to love him!

Another overhyped acupuncture study misinterpreted
Perhaps the most heavily studied of "alternative medicine" modalities is acupuncture. Although it's hard to be sure as to the reason, I tend to speculate that part of the appeal to trying to do research in this area is because acupuncture is among the most popular of actual "alt-med" modalities, as opposed to science-based medical modalities co-opted by believers in alt-med and rebranded as "alternative" (diet and exercise, for instance, to which is all too often added the consumption of huge quantities of unproven nutritional supplments) or activities that make people feel better, whether they're healthy or ill (massage, for instance). In contrast, acupuncture involves actually sticking needles into the skin. Never mind that the rationale for acupuncture, namely "redirecting" the flow of the "life energy" known as qi when it is blocked by sticking needles in "meridians" like some electrodes in some imaginary qi battery, is pure bunkum, as we've pointed out here at SBM time and time again. Somehow the image of needles sticking out of the skin, apparently painlessly and making some extreme acupuncture practices resemble Pinhead from the Hellraiser movie series, seems "sexy" as far as "alternative" therapies go, particularly since it's "Eastern" as opposed to that reductionistically evil "Western medicine," and, as we all know at SBM, "Western" is bad and "Eastern" is good.
So the fascination with acupuncture remains, so much so that an inordinate amount of research dollars are spent on studying it. Unfortunately, that money is largely wasted. As Steve Novella has pointed out, in general in medicine (at least these days), the trajectory of research is usually from bench research to animal models to small scale, less rigorous, pilot studies in humans to large scale, rigorously designed studies using many subjects. True, this order doesn't always hold. For instance, if physicians make a compelling observation "at the bedside" of response to therapy or how a disease progresses, frequently, after making closer observations to confirm the initial observation, researchers will jump back to animal models and bench top research to try to figure out what's going on. For such a progression to be useful, though, scientists have to be sure that the phenomenon in human patients under study actually exists.
Unfortunately, in acupuncture, the evidence is still unconvincing that there is any "there" there in that acupuncture effects appear to be no greater than placebo effects. As larger, more well designed studies using real placebo or sham acupuncture techniques, have increasingly shown that acupuncture does not function any better than placebo in human beings (and sometimes even worse), acupuncturists and acupuncture believers have been reversing the usual order of things, doing smaller studies and "pragmatic" (i.e., uncontrolled) clinical trials, where the placebo effect is not controlled for. Never mind that it doesn't matter where the needles are placed (thus blowing the whole "meridian" idea out of the water) or even if the needles puncture the skin. Toothpicks work just as well as needles. Also never mind that the mythology of acupuncture as having been routinely practiced for over two thousand years (or, sometimes, four thousand years, is largely a creation of Chairman Mao, who elevated what was a marginal practice at the time to a modality that the state supported and promoted (1,2,3,4). Unfortunately, even the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) falls for this mythology.
Every so often, I'm amazed when an acupuncture study ends up in a high impact journal like Nature Neuroscience. Of course, when I read such articles, virtually inevitably I discover that what is being studied is not really "acupuncture" per se, but rather sticking needles into either people or animals. Sometimes, "electroacupuncture" (which is in reality not acupuncture at all, given that there was no source of electricity hundreds of years ago in China when acupuncture was supposedly invented) is misrepresented as acupuncture. Since a bunch of readers, both here and at my other blog, have deluged my mail box with this particular study, I felt obligated to have a look at it, even if Steve Novella has already weighed in with his excellent deconstruction. This particular study is especially annoying, because it's been hyped to the nth degree, and even some news sources where the reporters should know better have fallen for it.

Dear Editor,
I would like to start by saying that I am a Christian. As Christians, we are called to help others through the hard times of their lives. So we must help others even at the places where they work, and especially, where low wage workers are employed. The reign of God does not stop at the workplace door. Christians must stand with workers in their struggle for dignity on the job, a voice at work, and fair compensation for their labors.
The right of workers to organize a union is a fundamental human right. Sadly our country's laws provide little protection for workers' rights. Laws are frequently violated, penalties are minimal, and justice is often delayed, inadequate or non existent.
We as Christians are called to stand with workers and assist in God's vision, where all workers are treated with justice and dignity. We are called to support the standards that God is calling for, even if the laws are not there yet. Christians believe that every worker, even those receiving the lowest pay, are valued children of God, and deserve a fair share of the resources that God has provided us.
Some 60 million workers would like to form a union. There are millions of other people who know nothing about unions except the negative propaganda produced by the elite, of which most are not or never have been union members. Most people don't realize that every 17 minutes a worker is illegally fired or disciplined for legal union activity. Most don't realize that a National Labor Relations Board union election is more like an election in the former Soviet Union than in the United States of America.
The growing inequality and stagnant wages of the last 30 years have a number of causes, but the decline of union membership weakens the ability for the concerns of the lower and middle class to be heard. One fourth of American jobs pay poverty level wages, wages so low that a full time worker cannot support their family. One in every 6 people have no health insurance. One out of every ten people who want to work can't find a full time job. Half of all workers have no retirement security of any kind. Wage theft by employers is epidemic, as is the abuse of immigrant workers.
Unions and workers' rights are as important today as at any time in history. In the face of weak unenforced laws, hostile employers, an uninformed public, and a largely biased media, as a Christian it is critically important to assist my brothers and sisters, as we are all children of the same father.
Jesus was a low wage worker. Like Jesus, today's low wage workers are beloved and treasured sons and daughters of God.
God gave us a world of abundance, enough for all, a place where all of God's children are equal. Unions with the support of God are working to make that vision a reality.

Proteus syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Proteus syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by overgrowth of various tissues of the body. The cause of the disorder is a mosaic mutation in a gene called AKT1. Disproportionate, asymmetric overgrowth occurs in a mosaic pattern (i.e., a random "patchy" pattern of affected and unaffected areas). Affected individuals may experience a wide variety of complications that may include progressive skeletal malformations, benign and malignant tumors, malformations of blood vessels (vascular malformations), bullous pulmonary disease, and certain skin lesions. In some people, life-threatening conditions relating to abnormal blood clotting may develop including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Some consolidation in banking space inevitable: Chidambaram
"Finding new business models will inevitably lead to some consolidation ... We must create at least 2 or 3 world size banks. China has done it.
"And if India wants to be ... and it will be the third largest economy in the world ... we must also have one or two world size banks and some consolidation is inevitable," he said at Bancon-2012 meet here.
Unions have been opposing mergers and consolidations in the banking space.
"We should not fear consolidation. I know there is pride and identity, but ultimately some consolidation would have to take place in the banking system in this country," he said.
He further said that while consolidation takes place among top banks, there would be room for local area banks as well.
"In fact, I regret that the idea of the local area bank which was started in 1996 stopped after first three licences were given. I think there is place for a local area bank for serving people of the region, local area, drawing strength from those people and serving those people," he added.
There are 19 nationalised banks and scores of private and foreign banks in the country. In addition there is State Bank of India, which is the largest lender in the country. It has also five associate banks.
SBI has acquired board approval for the merger of the its remaining five associates with itself. It has already amalgamated two of its subsidiaries.
The Finance Ministry had recently asked large public sector banks to hand-hold smaller counterparts to improve the latter's functioning.

"It's fun here," said 11-year-old Aaron Kono-Yagi.
"I've made a lot of friends since the first time I came here. So, it's cool," he said, giving his stamp of approval.
He's been working on his kick-flip and happy to help out with A'ala Park's much needed face-lift.
"This hasn't been really painted since 2004 or 2005. Since then, it's pretty much been left alone," said George Kumpis, a skateboarder and mortgage broker.
"By cleaning up this park it shows we all care, and they can take pride in what they're doing," said Honolulu Police officer Gordon Gomes Jr.
The Honolulu Police Department's Community Policing Unit, Weed and Seed, city workers, lawmakers, and the skateboard community came together to clean up the popular skate park, give it a fresh coat of paint, and send a message to others.
"It's very popular and also very visible. We have some major thoroughfares going through here.
It has been with all the graffiti a blight on the community. Once it got to Major Caldwell it rose in his list of priorities," said Shawn Hamamoto, City & County of Honolulu community specialist.
In the 1970s, A'ala Park was used as a roller skating ring, but it didn't take long for the skateboarders to realize it was a fun place for them to be, too.
Over the years, they put a lot of time and effort into making it someplace fun for the community.
"It means a lot to us to be able to paint it and protect the park and make a place that's friendly for people to skateboard, said Kumpis.
"I like skateboarding, because it's fun and you get to be free and it's fun learning new things," said Kono-Yagi.

At a cost of nearly $11 million, station No. 43 in East Kapolei is the Honolulu Fire Department's newest. Although the state-of-the-art building has not been officially dedicated, an engine company has called it home for the past 18 months.
Fire department spokesman Capt. Terry Seelig said HFD deployed the engine ahead of schedule because of the difficulty in meeting the required response time of nine minutes in a suburban setting.
"This area is growing, everyone's seen that," said Seelig. "As it grows, we're going to need to have additional resources here."
In an ongoing effort to augment its resources, the fire department had planned on deploying a ladder company to the new firehouse sometime this year. However, that plan is now on hold after Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced a $20 million cost-cutting plan Wednesday for all but one city department. The mayor said the restrictions are needed to reel in a projected $26 million deficit to the city's $2.16 billion operating budget for the current fiscal year. The fire department is tasked with cutting $2.2 million, or about 2.4 percent of its total budget.
"Recommendations came back from the police, fire or EMS with what they could live with, what cuts they could do, and then we went forward," the mayor told KITV4 in an interview Wednesday. "People expect us to manage the cost of government, and this is about managing those costs to make sure that we do not run out of money."
Seelig said the earliest a ladder company could be deployed to the East Kapolei fire station is January. That means three platoons of fire fighters will have to wait before moving into their new quarters.
"So, the new ladder would've been 15 positions that we're not going to put here at this time," said Seelig. "However, we do expect that in the future we're going to be able to have the ladder present because this area is growing."
Seelig added East Kapolei residents should not be overly concerned about the delay in deploying the ladder company, since there are more than enough HFD resources to respond to an emergency. There are currently 15 ladder companies throughout Oahu, with a total of 73 companies at 43 fire stations.
"Presently, there is no lack of resources and there will be no diminishment of ability to respond to an emergency in this area," said Seelig. "So, they shouldn't be concerned with our ability to get to their emergency."
However, Honolulu residents may be troubled by the city's projected budget deficit for the next fiscal year, estimated to be as much as $156 million. The mayor said that's mainly due to fixed costs such as debt service and health and pension benefits for city workers.
However, the projected shortfall comes even before fire fighters receive an arbitration award after hearings were held in Honolulu March 11-15. In July, Honolulu police officers received a benefits package totaling $200 million over the next four years, which includes wage increases, standards of conduct pay and health benefits.
"We need to manage our government fiscally responsible, (and) look for cuts, be more efficient with our services," said Caldwell, "but, the cost of government never goes down, it only goes up."
There are nearly 2,000 police officers within the Honolulu Police Department, but with roughly 1,100 fire fighters, HFD is among the largest metropolitan fire departments in the country.
The starting pay for a fire recruit is about $44,700 per year, while police recruits are paid about $53,000 annually.
As part of the budget restriction, the fire department is also cutting its recruit class from 48 to 24 members, and delaying the start date from October to January.
"As long as that doesn't go on too long, it won't have any significant impact on our ability to sustain our staffing," said Seelig.

Yet another thing to keep in mind when filling out your bracket.
No. 1: Stay true to your school
Even if your school isn't seeded high this year, it's usually a good idea to fill out at least one bracket with your team advancing far.
This way you don't have to choose between rooting for your school or your bracket, and you can be excited if your team happens to pull an upset to advance into the late rounds.
The same can go for teams in your conference. If you can't decide between two schools, picking the squad that plays in your conference is a noble choice.
And never discount sentimentality. After all, a team sometimes needs to reach deep when it has to win six straight hotly contested games on the big stage to capture a national title.
So consider the "win one for coach" rallying cry. It worked wonders for North Carolina coach Roy Williams when he won his first title in 2005. Which team is going to get that extra burst this year? Could it be Bo Ryan in Wisconsin? John Thompson III with Georgetown? Mark Few with Gonzaga? Maybe San Diego State's Steve Fisher?
Only time will tell.

Fracking is already thriving in Sullivan County. Not the same controversial natural gas extraction method that makes headlines. No, this is community fracking, the social byproduct of the hydraulic fracturing debate, pumping tension through Sullivan County communities that face the possibility of gas wells dotting their landscape.
At a public meeting on October 17 to discuss fracking in Cochecton, it was clear that community fracking is flourishing. "It's tragic to see what this issue is doing to this community," said Robin McClernon. Farmer John Gorzynski declared from the podium, "To see the divisiveness that this has caused is heartbreaking for me."
The layers of the issue are similar to the layers of the earth. The fracking blade first cuts through the crust, for our purposes the federal government. Both presidential candidates support natural gas extraction, with President Obama boasting, "We still continue to open up new areas for drilling. We continue to make it a priority for us to go after natural gas. We've got potentially 600,000 jobs and a hundred years' worth of energy right beneath our feet with natural gas."
As the blade cuts deeper into the mantle, the issue gets passed to the state and the office of Governor Cuomo. Cuomo is awaiting Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulations and a health impact study before making a decision about fracking. Arguably, this is the level that has the greatest impact on the future of the region. At the center, like the earth, is the core, made up of tightly-knit communities whose residents now argue, put signs on their lawns and utilize social media to plead their case. The core nucleus is a hard-fast group of concerned residents who have made up their minds.
The passion, and the science surrounding the issue, is as diverse as the small town itself, where fifth-generation farmers share property lines with second-home freelance writers. Gorzynski, who bought his farm in 1979, walked stiffly to the podium after a long day in his fields planting garlic. "If there's a safe way to do this, I'm a land owner, I'd love to make a couple bucks the easy way. I've worked hard in my life." But his livelihood is on the line, he says, whether fracking proves toxic or not. "Customers at my market in New York City weekly ask me if they have allowed fracking yet in our area. They won't be customers of mine anymore when it's approved."
Lifelong resident Doug Johnson challenged the board. "We evolve or we die. Fracking has been happening for over 100 years. Fracking has evolved, too. You can choose to be a model and leader for other small towns who face a similar decision. If you have the power to ban fracking, you also have the power to nurture it and decide how, where and when it happens."
The medical industry was represented at the meeting, too. Quoting from the American Medical Journal, president of the Sullivan County Medical Society, Dr. Paul Salzburg, told a story of two girls who lived near wells in New Mexico.
Suffering from facial lesions, healing began only after they stopped drinking tap water at their homes. He concluded, "The Medical Society of the state of New York asks that fracking not be permitted until a health assessment can be authorized and completed."
Was that an isolated incident? Wayne Townsend thinks so. He is a Cochecton landowner, a graduate of the former Jeffersonville-Youngsville School District and petroleum engineer, who now lives amid 20,000 highly regulated wells in Farmington, NM. Life, he says, is good. "I come from an arid area and groundwater is a prized possession," he says, "My children have grown up there, I have grandkids and no issues." He believes gas can be extracted safely with stringent regulation. "I don't think it's the fracturing itself that creates the problem. I think there should be some concern about getting back the wastewater. And when you recover the fluids, you have to dispose of it safely."
The Cochecton Town Board seems equally diverse. Councilperson Richard Schulman announced he is for a moratorium, Larry Richardson is going to digest more information, while Edwin Grund and Anna Story reserved comment.
Supervisor Gary Maas is vocal about his neutrality, waiting for the regulations from the DEC. The November deadline for a decision from the governor is a big day, he says. "If they miss that November 29 deadline, that will require them, when they do put the regulations out, to hold a public hearing again. That would be to our benefit to miss that November deadline." It also gives the town time to study the regulations.
In the meantime, the drills of community fracturing will continue to rip through the area.

IRS gives extension for flood-loss claims
Coloradans affected by the flooding in September have six extra months to claim damage costs on their federal income tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service gave taxpayers in Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties – along with 16 other Colorado counties affected by the flood – until Oct. 15 to decide when to claim flood damage. They otherwise would have had to decide by April 15 whether to claim the losses on their 2013 or 2012 federal tax returns – a decision driven by the amount of tax savings they might receive. Those who miss the October deadline will still be permitted to claim flood-damage losses on their 2013 returns, but not their 2012 forms.

Study: State frack ban would cost GDP, jobs
BOULDER – A statewide ban on hydraulic fracturing would trim 93,000 jobs, $12 billion in lost gross domestic product and annual reduction of $985 million in tax revenue for local and state governments over 25 years, according to a new study from the University of Colorado. The 33-page study was done by researchers at the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business on behalf of a partnership between the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation, Denver South Economic Development Partnership and Commonsense Policy Roundtable, a nonprofit free-enterprise think tank that has a seven-member advisory board with three members who work in the oil and gas industry, according to its website.

I think we should have a "Hug Day." I would be lost if I didn't have hugs from friends and loved ones. Hugs make me happy. Hugs tell me someone likes me and that fills me with delight.
I feel it takes hugs for one's well-being. I read somewhere that husbands who hug their wives have a five-year longer life span than those who do not.
Many years of teaching little people brought hugs as far as they could reach. I hugged back at least 25 times a day. Guess what? My students have grown up and I get lots of hugs these days!
Many cats and dogs came with the rearing of our three boys. Even though the pets aggravated me sometimes, I must admit just a pat on the head sent a signal of love.
I'm sure pet trainers agree animals cannot be trained without meaningful touches.
My aunts in the rest home looked forward to my husband's hugs. I hugged Uncle Steve and left a kiss on the top of his head so the nurses could tease him about lipstick.
"Women are just attracted to me," he answered with laughs. Our hugs and kisses for my relatives added sparkle to their lonely days.
One day, when our granddaughter was 4, she wrapped her arms around herself. I asked her what she was doing. "I'm hugging Jesus. He lives in my heart you know."
Hugs can cheer you when you're down, soothe another's pain and bring sunshine to life again. A hug can mean more than flowers, cards or gifts. Meeting a friend on the street with a hug makes my day.
Hugging is one of the human ways to express affection. Special touches restore self-esteem as it did in Bible times: I have found many examples of hugs in the Bible:
• Laban embraced Jacob in Genesis 29:13.
• Esau ran and embraced Jacob in Genesis 33:4.
• Jacob embraced Joseph in Genesis 46:29.
• The father hugged the prodigal son in Luke 15:20.
I find security in Deuteronomy 33:27, "The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms, and he shall thrust out the enemy before thee."
I think God gave us arms to hug. When I receive hugs from others, I feel God is giving me a hug too. "God is love. Those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them" (1 John 4:16 NCV).
When I have trouble relaxing and falling asleep, I think of the "everlasting arms" of Jesus surrounding me and holding me tight. The next thing I know it is morning … another exciting day to hug and be hugged.
The next time you feel down or see someone else feeling down, give a little hug.
It will make you both feel better.
"It's wondrous what a hug can do,
Bringing blessings for both of you.
It lifts one up when feeling low
Say, "I want a hug before I go!"
Reach out today with a hug and see
How happy someone else will be."

A major is an organized collection of classes relating to a particular subject (ie., English), theme (Women's Studies) or professional field (i.e. Pre-Med, Pre-Law, Engineering, etc.) that will lead to the attainment of your degree from a particular college or university. By declaring a major, you decide upon a certain set of classes and/or work in an area you wish to focus on. Such an education, ideally, makes you well-rounded and prepares you for prospective employers and careers.
The answer is "no". While it is true that choosing the proper major early on can help you when deciding which classes to take, the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. If you think choosing a college major locks you into a specific career for the rest of your life, do not worry, that is not the case.
It depends on the college and the major. Most schools prefer that you start looking at a major at least by your sophomore year. Some schools actually require you to list a major choice on your college application. Fortunately, most schools will have "undecided" as one of your available options. Being "undecided" is not a terrible thing. You should take the time to consider your interests, which classes you will do the best in and explore the wide array of options available. Also, you should seek out the guidance of counselors on campus to help you prepare for certain majors you are considering. By doing so, you can find out if you are interested in a major that requires a lot of classes, or classes that are limited to students in that major, then you might have to declare earlier than usual (i.e. Fall semester of your sophomore year).
It is okay to change your major. But, remember that many majors require that you complete a certain set of courses over time. Be sure to seek the guidance of counselors who can help you understand the specific classes that prepare you and count toward completing a major. Making a decision early is sometime beneficial, but it is better to make the right decision, one that you will be happy with, rather than make a hasty decision. Taking the time to explore options, talk to academic counselor and think about your interests will help you know when it is right to change majors or make the best selection for you the first time you choose.
No one major is objectively better than any other, and different people are cut out for very different things. Meaning, your major does not determine your life. You do. Your values, personal ambitions, and dreams will ultimately be what propel you into the kind of life you desire. You may not know what career you want right now. But give some thought to the general sort of post-college life you want to build for yourself, and that, too, will help propel your decision on choosing a major.
As you deliberate on your major, take a minute or two and think about why you're going to college in the first place. You might be heading off to school just because it's the thing you do after high school without giving much thought to what you want to accomplish once you're there. Figuring out why you're going to college at all is a good first step in figuring out what your major should be.
Below is a list of common majors and areas of study in college. Be sure to check the college or university catalog or guide for a complete listing of majors, minors, and specialized degrees. You can actually find a lot more specialized and emerging majors, so know that this is not a complete list of what may be available to you.

Awesome wedge, spins on a dime! Good feel for half shots and chipping as well.
Ball checks and spins like a pro
covers all basis, especially high/consistant spin from any lie/distance
have an older cleveland wedge that is great but ordered this one from GG and it had a graphite shaft which made the swing weight to light for my taste.
Very good wedge, versatile. No weakness in its performance. for me face wear was a bit quick, but that is the only bad thing I can say about these wedges.

It was interesting to have Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan in to meet with our editorial board this week, on the same day in fact that a Wisconsin State Journal story appeared headlined "prospects brighten" for a new budget deal. Pocan quoted information he and his caucus-mates were getting from insiders who said the content of the talks did not match the optimism of the pronouncements from Budget Committee chairs Congressman Paul Ryan and Senator Patty Murray.
Pocan went on to tell us since the latest Congressional Budget Office numbers show three-quarters of the deficit is the result of un- and under-employment his focus will continue to be creating jobs and growing the economy. Easier said than done in this dysfunctional Congress.
But Pocan is trying, more than others in our view. His support for Ryan's immigration efforts, good working relationship with Republican colleague Reid Ribble, and membership in the bi-partisan Problem Solvers group are all genuine examples of reaching across the aisle to get things done. They position Pocan well for the day when some common sense returns to Washington, a day he and we believe will come.

Pro or con, do the tax researchMarch 22,2013
If you have picked up the paper recently, youve probably noticed a full-page ad with the headline, Theres no room in Vermont grocery carts for a beverage tax. The ad goes on: Prices on sodas, juice drinks, sweetened teas, and sports drinks will increase and possibly go up almost 50 percent.
The initial, overpowering impression is that legislators in Montpelier are, once again, about to drop a new tax on Vermonters, this time for everything we pour into a glass.
The bill the ad refers to is, in fact, an excise tax on sweetened (i.e. sweetener added) beverages only, written in response to a concern nationwide over the correlation between overconsumption of high-fructose corn syrup and beet/cane sugars, and obesity with early onset Type 2 diabetes.
Revenues from the tax will support an ongoing program for treatment and prevention of those diseases, in the same way revenues from taxes on tobacco products and cigarettes support the state health care resources fund.
Milk, fruit juices, maple syrup, infant formula, honey and plain bottled water are exempt. Alcoholic beverages are already taxed and not affected.
Back to the ad its subsidized by the American Beverage Association, a trade organization representing the U.S. industry whose members produce everything you see in the cornucopia of beverages below the fold. In 2010, the ABA spent close to $10 million lobbying against similar measures across the country.
High-fructose corn syrup and beet/cane sugars, richly subsidized by the federal government for many years, are what enable the members of the American Beverage Association to make and distribute their products so profitably.
Take a look at the bills as they stand and follow them as they move through the Legislature: H.234 and H.418. You can find them at www.leg.state.vt.us.
Read the bills yourself. Make up your own mind. Contact your legislators and communicate your support or opposition. Leave the histrionics to paid lobbyists.

Patient Love Potion, 1966
Harvey QuaytmanAmerican, 1937-2002
Oil on canvas
89-1/8 x 91-3/4 in. (226.4 x 233.0 cm)
Norton Simon Museum, Museum Purchase with funds donated by Mr. Duane E. Wilder
© Harvey Quaytman
Not on view
A graduate of the Boston Museum School and a recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, Harvey Quaytman paid scant attention to artistic movements, and his own work fell outside strict stylistic associations. In Patient Love Potion, the motif of a shaped field painted on canvas is
a harbinger of his critically acclaimed shaped paintings from the '70s and '80s, which some critics tied to Minimalism.
Quaytman combined a practice of staining with pictorial tailoring, literally sewing pieces of canvas together, to achieve a color shape that hovers between abstraction and geometry, stasis and dynamism. The eccentric U-shaped form carries calligraphic and even figurative connotations with its upward reach on the canvas and the soft exterior contours resulting from the staining technique. In contrast, the interior field appears strongly geometric due to the horizontal base that associates it with a triangle. To achieve this hard-edge line on the interior of an organic shape—considered radical at the time—Quaytman cut the canvas horizontally and separated it along the edge where the two colors meet to insure that the liquid pigment would not stain above the targeted line. Afterwards, he sewed the canvas together and glued a fabric patch to the back for stability. Over time, the adhesives in the patch darkened, leaving the discolored area of canvas seen today. Quaytman was nicknamed the "Bowery sage" on account of his knowledge of materials and abiding devotion to craft, so the inventiveness of his technique renders this painting all the more relevant.

General Discussion
Juvenile hemochromatosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of iron in various organs of the body. Symptoms usually become apparent before the age of 30. The specific symptoms and severity of juvenile hemochromatosis vary from one person to another. Common symptoms include absent or decreased function of the testes in males or ovaries in females (hypotrophic hypogonadism), heart (cardiac) disease, scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), joint disease, diabetes, and dark discoloration of patches of skin (hyperpigmentation). These symptoms are similar to those seen in classic hereditary hemochromatosis. However, the symptoms associated with juvenile hemochromatosis occur at an early age and are usually more severe. If untreated, juvenile hemochromatosis can potentially cause life-threatening complications. Juvenile hemochromatosis is caused by mutations of one of at least two genes (the HJV and HAMP genes). These mutations are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
Juvenile hemochromatosis is classified as an iron overload disorder. It is a separate, distinct disorder from classic hereditary hemochromatosis. Juvenile hemochromatosis is caused by mutations to different genes and generally has an earlier age of onset and more severe iron accumulation.
