Local teacher-artists win grant supportProvided Photo
Brian Boyes is one of two local teachers who received arts grants recently.
Two area teachers have been awarded grants from the Vermont Community Foundation to further pursue their professional fields in the arts.
Kerrin McCadden, 46, an English teacher at Montpelier High School, says the grant is not only a welcome recognition of the support local artists and writers need but also satisfies the "business side" of the profession that artists so often struggle with.
The other recipient is Brian Boyes, 39, of the Cabot School.
The foundation is a public charity that distributes and invests money given by organizations, businesses, individuals and families. McCadden and Boyes are receiving $1,000 and $2,500, respectively, from the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund.
Twelve artists received a share of the fund this year.
McCadden has been teaching at Montpelier High School for 21 years, but she didn't seriously pursue her writing career until more recently, when, at the urging of the students in her creative writing course, she submitted some of her work and got into Middlebury College's Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.
"It was a disassembling and reassembling process. This was what the world of writing was outside of my brain. It was a really powerful experience," she said.
McCadden has since participated a couple more times and teaches the Young Writers' Conference there.
"There's something to be said for putting yourself out there. You are forced to really look at your work and hold it to a higher standard. You try to work toward the caliber of work that you yourself would read," she said.
She published her first poem six years ago and has been successfully submitting work regularly since then, including a piece in the 2012 edition of "Best American Poetry." This was the first grant she had sought. A second grant she was awarded will be announced in the coming weeks, and though she can't talk about it, she said it is very exciting.
"A piece of what is so important about this is schools supporting teachers who are pursuing their professions. Every time I've asked Montpelier High School for money for professional development they've said yes. ... I never would have gotten to this point without that support," she said.
Boyes, whose instrument of choice is the trumpet, has been playing professionally in Vermont for about 20 years. Part of that time was spent touring regionally and across the country, and he began to slowly overlap his professional playing with teaching, spurred by a grant from the Vermont Arts Council for a jazz program at Cabot School. Eventually he went from a full-time professional musician to a full-time music teacher.
Of all the professional groups he played with, a septet called Tala was the only one more focused on original compositions. After guest conducting for the Winooski Valley District Jazz Festival — a sort of all-star jazz band for area high schools — two years ago, he realized it was the first time he had taken his original work and applied it to a large jazz ensemble. "That's when it hit me, 'Wow, there's a lot of unexplored potential here,' and I wanted to pursue it in a professional capacity," Boyes said.
And so was born the Saturn People's Sound Collective, a 20-piece ensemble with the slogan "Imagine Sun Ra, Steve Reich and Sonic Youth met up on the Silk Road with Maria Schneider along for the ride."
According to Boyes, Ra was a big-band leader who claimed to be from the planet Saturn. An African-American who grew up in Alabama in the 1930s, he saw music as a vehicle to transcend the racism and hatred of the time. He played what he called "joyful outer-space music" — "Joyful noise," said Boyes.
Reich is a minimalist composer who extensively influenced 20th-century music with his experiments with phasing patterns and focus on slowly mutating sound themes (like the clapping of hands).
Sonic Youth was an alternative rock band from the 1980s and 1990s at the forefront of the alternative- and indie-rock scene. And Maria Schneider is an American composer, arranger and big-band leader.
"I'm harnessing the creative spirit of jazz with orchestral and world music elements, basically infusing a lot of my influences into one cohesive sound," Boyes added.
Dec. 7 is the premiere at Goddard College's Haybarn Theatre as part of the Goddard College Concert Series with WGDR/WGDH, the college's radio station.
"In the last two years Goddard has done an amazing job of promoting and encouraging the artistic presence to the public," said Boyes.
Among those efforts is Local Spotlight, a program that will allow local acts like the Saturn People's Sound Collective to perform in the same space that usually hosts nationally and internationally recognized groups.
"Local Spotlight is an incubator for the arts. It's a great opportunity that Goddard is providing for local arts," he said. He added that the grant has allowed him to reach what he said is a balance of teaching, giving back and being creative.
Every year the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund awards area artists and arts organizations up to $5,000 to support the creation and production of new work, as well as technical assistance for arts organizations. The fund awarded a total of $38,500 to artists and arts organizations in 2012, in support of work ranging from documentary filming to the commission of pieces by Vermont composers.
The grant, established in 1990, requires applicants to describe in detail how their proposed work will contribute to their communities in new and innovative ways, and submit a project budget and sample pieces of previous work. The quality of work and the artist's ability to carry out the plan and ensure public presentation of the work are among the criteria.
Both McCadden and Boyes said the state and region are great for supporting the arts.

- Abstract
- Hydroxyapatite/ethylene-vinyl acetate (HA/EVA) composites were prepared by injection molding and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and attenuated total multiple reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The nonisothermal crystallization behavior of HA/EVA composites at different cooling rates and with different HA content were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results exhibit the occurrence of interaction between HA and EVA, and the HA particles in EVA matrix act as effective nucleation agent. The addition of HA influences the mechanism of nucleation and growth of EVA crystallites. HA particles, as nucleus, are efficient to promote EVA crystallization at early stage but prevent EVA crystal growth in the late stage. The EVA crystallization in the composite is mainly through heterogeneous nucleation.

Luckily there are plenty of options on the NHS if people don't wish to pay thousands of pounds to a private clinic. I had amazing results from a free NHS inpatient programme run by the Pain Clinic at my hospital - I spent three weeks doing intensive physio and hydrotherapy amongst other things. An advantage of this was that I was checked by a qualified spinal surgeon rather than just by the physiotherapists.
If anyone is in a lot of pain I can really recommend getting referred to a Pain Clinic in the first instance, and take it from there. They are run by doctors who are specialised in pain management and have more options for pain relief than the GPs can offer.

All natural, suitable for vegetarians, will keep you warm in winter with adding no extra calories! This is a must have at my kitchen - I add it to soups and main dishes, brings great flavor to the dish. But i also like it just as is - by adding hot water you will have a great broth, and, for instance adding boiled quinoa, you'll have a great, super-tasty and low-cal soup! so when you are home in the evening and there is no cooked meal - no need to order delivery, this herbal bouillon will help you - just add some vegetables or quinoa or noodles and voila - great home-cooked meal, healthy, warming and light is on the table in 10 mins! Love it! See also my other reviews of the best products on Iherb.

A Bit of Clay on the Skin: New Ceramic Jewellery explores the appeal of ceramics, especially porcelain, in jewellery. Organized by the Fondation d'Entreprise Bernardaud and curated by the renowned German-born goldsmith and jewellery artist Monika Brugger, the exhibition showcases the versatility and allure of the medium, which can be modeled or cast, used alone or with metal, wood, and stone, and vary in color and texture.
The exhibition presents 140 works and features the work of 20 cutting-edge jewellery artists, including creations by such notables as Peter Hoogeboom (The Netherlands), Ted Noten (The Netherlands), Gésine Hackenberg (Germany), Marie Pendariès (Spain), and Shu-Lin Wu (Taiwan). While some make reference to traditional jewellery in materials and symbolism, others altogether redefine it in substance, form, and matter.

At the invitation of First Lady Laura Bush, State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee is attending the White House Summit on Early Childhood Cognitive Development July 26 and 27.
The First Lady is hosting the summit as part of her Ready to Read, Ready to Learn Initiative. The summit is co-chaired by U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige and U.S. Health and human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson. It is being held on the campus of Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
The Summit brings together leaders, advocates and policymakers involved in Early Childhood Cognitive Development in order to share the latest research on the subject and to exchange ideas on successful early childhood programs.
"I am delighted and honored to be a part of the summit," McGee said. "The high priority placed on early learning by President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush closely matches that of the State Board of Education and Governor George Ryan.
"The success of our education system depends on the strong foundation we build in the early years," McGee said. Research clearly shows the benefit of quality early childhood programs and this summit should spur even greater efforts to strengthen early learning throughout the nation.
"I commend the President and First Lady for convening this summit to place a high-level focus on building early successes for students."

Hi All,
I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with their experiences with/ opinions of different breast pumps.
I have the Lansinoh Double Electric Pump and I find it really difficult to use. It is hard to keep the seal around the shields and the suction part of the pump does not seem to seal right. Also, it takes forever and the suction seems weak. I am new to pumping and am just pumping as I need to be away from home for about 3/4 hours 3 days a week. My baby is a month old and we have been breastfeeding well from the beginning.
I am not sure whether purchasing aereola stimulator from Lansinoh will help.
I am considering purchasing a Medela pump either the Pump in style, freestyle, or swing. I don't want to spend a fortune. I already bought one pump but it isn't working out, so...
Any suggestions?

By Helena Rodriguez, PNT Staff Writer
A Chinese exchange student from Eastern New Mexico University wrote in a e-mail she was only home 15 minutes when a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck China on May 12.
In her e-mail to Jason Paulk, director of choral activities, and to Kayla Paulk a vocal coach and accompanist at Eastern, Xinrui Li — known at Eastern by her adopted American name of Sherry Li — writes, "I had just taken a shower … just got a towel in my hand … I felt the building was shaking a lot … my house in 12th floor … so that I was so scared. I didn't know what was going on. My mother asked me to run until we got outside. I still saw the buildings around were shaking."
Although Li's family and friends were OK, she wrote that a few towns around were all gone.
ENMU participates in a 1-2-1 programs in which students study one year in China, two in the U.S., and their final year in China.
All of Eastern's Chinese exchange students and their immediate families were reported safe following the earthquake in Sichuan Province, according to ENMU officials.
Some ENMU students, however, have had to have their airplane flights diverted to Beijing or delayed and are still uneasy about the well-being of their families in China amidst fears of more possible aftershocks and mudslides.
Another ENMU student, Liang Qing, known here as Esther, at first had problems getting a hold of her family in her home state of Sichuan, in southwest China, which is about 200 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake. She was finally able to talk to them and relieved they are fine, although they had to leave their home for a few days for fear of aftershocks. She said her family continues to sleep outdoors at night in fear of another earthquake or aftershocks.
"My mother told me on the telephone, 'You're so lucky because you're in the United States,'" said Qing, a 21-year-old business administration major at ENMU who does not plan to go back home to China until May of 2009.
She added that she feels helpless here, saying, "All I can do here is worry."
According to the Associated Press, officials in China expect the final death toll of the China disaster to exceed 50,000. Qing said there are not usually earthquakes in the Sichuan province, noting that one of this magnitude has not hit in at least 30 years.

Challenger Marge Carpenter, R-Waynesville, and Rep. Phil Haire, D-Sylva, also criticize the other for voting the party line.
Haire points to Carpenter's "extremely conservative right-wing agenda," and Carpenter calls out Haire as an incumbent whose seniority has been used more to support embattled Democratic House Speaker Jim Black than to support his district.
"I would never vote for anything that took money away from people in the west," Carpenter said. "A big difference is Phil does."
Carpenter referenced the new state lottery as an example of Haire voting in favor of legislation that failed to give the region its fair share. The legislation distributes lottery funds for education based on county tax rates. Western district counties have some of the lowest tax rates in the state. Consequently, lottery funds are unequally dispersed and largely favor the Piedmont.
"It's grossly unfair," Carpenter said. "It doesn't matter if you disagree or agree with the lottery, but how the funds are spent should be equal, not based on some formula that the Democratic bureaucracy decided would be better."
Haire countered that the lottery bill was written to help raise education funds for the entire state.
"We have to look after all of our neighbors and friends in the state of North Carolina," he said.
The legislation as it was originally proposed set aside money for low-wealth, high-tax counties. "Somewhere in the night," Haire said, the low-wealth part was dropped. Haire said that the lottery was so new and with it being an election year, the last thing he wanted to do was try to manipulate the bill.
Rather, when the legislature reconvenes in January, Haire said he plans to lobby for change so that the western district isn't penalized. The lottery will have been in effect for less than a year, there will be a bit of history as to how well it is operating, and it won't be an election year, Haire said.
"Of course it's going to be a heck of a fight, I understand that," he said.
Pushing for redistribution will require "coalition building" between the western and eastern parts of the state, which both have lower tax rates but escalating property values.
Coalition building is an idea Carpenter also recommended in terms of western representatives banding together to work for the region as a whole. While serving in the state House — Carpenter and Haire served together in 2000 before redistricting drew a line across Haywood County and consequently in 2002 put Carpenter up against Ray Rapp, D-Mars Hill, to whom she lost the election — Carpenter said she worked with local Democratic representation to pass the Clean Smoke Stacks Bill, which aimed to improve air quality in the western mountains. Carpenter said the region's representatives need to "have the backbone to stand up for their county and not just do what Jimmy Black tells them to do."
Regardless of party lines, Haire said that Black was one of the region's strongest proponents following hurricanes Ivan and Frances in 2004. Black supported the allocation of funds to the region, saying that the state stepped up for the East following Floyd and the same should be done for the West, Haire said. In turn, Haire was one of the primary sponsors of the bill that secured more than $400 million for recovery, the largest amount that the state has appropriated for any area as a result of a natural disaster.
Haire said Republicans are using Black — who has been accused but not convicted of campaign finance violations — as a campaign issue because they have little else to run on.
"Number one, I'm running my race, Black's running his race," Haire said. "Number two, Black's not been indicted for anything. That's the only issue that Republicans have to run on is anti-Jim Black."
Haire credited the legislature — with Democrats as the moving force — for raising the minimum wage, capping the gas tax, cutting sales tax, prohibiting illegal immigrants from getting a driver's license, raising teachers' salaries, capping county portions of Medicaid reimbursements, giving state employees the largest raise in 16 years, and adopting strong sexual predator and domestic violence bills.
"I think that these things we did are consistent with what the majority of the people wanted in North Carolina," Haire said.
Despite these achievements, Carpenter said there are two specific issues that are at the top of her legislative agenda — making healthcare more affordable and preventing illegal immigration. Haire has said both of these are national rather than state issues.
Carpenter said that she would like to see the state put caps on malpractice awards, as the state is losing doctors due to the high price of malpractice insurance. Carpenter tied Haire's hesitancy to address malpractice caps and healthcare reform to his profession as a lawyer, noting his support from trial lawyer political action committees.
Also, Carpenter said the state should look into changing the law so that during trial medical costs that have been paid by a third party such as an insurance company may be disclosed. As it is, a patient may claim to have $300,000 in medical costs during trial without disclosing that part of those costs already were paid, sometimes prompting overly high damage awards, Carpenter said.
"To say it's not a state issue, I believe it's irresponsible and it's passing the buck," Carpenter said of medical reform. "Rep. Haire, with his comments of it being a national issue, makes me think that it's not important to him."
Haire said that the state already is working to address the issue and that the governor just approved a new plan called North Carolina Rx that raises the financial limits to qualify for prescription benefits. Also, small businesses may receive tax credits for contributions to employee health insurance savings plans.
However, Haire reiterated that health care is bigger than state legislation.
"It's basically a national problem," he said. "It's the insurance companies that are driving it and the drug companies that are driving it and the Medicaid and the federal government that are driving it."
Haire said that personally he had never seen a case where malpractice caps had positively affected the doctor's insurance costs, nor read of any case where medical providers have in turn reduced costs to patients due to lower insurance prices. Rather than instituting caps, Haire proposed a system similar to social security in which residents paid a tax into a state pool to offset medical costs.
Carpenter also quoted Haire as saying that illegal immigration is a national issue, a standpoint she disagrees with.
"We've got a huge drain on your pocketbook and my pocketbook because illegal immigration hasn't been taken care of," she said.
Carpenter gave credit to an idea proposed by Republican Jackson County commissioner candidate Geoff Higginbotham to institute a county ordinance that would fine landlords who were found to be renting property to illegal immigrants.
"If that's something that's worked, then I believe that we need to address some of those alternative ways of helping," Carpenter said of the plan and the idea that individual counties might work to combat the problem rather than pass the buck. "That's so awesome."
Carpenter favors giving local law enforcement the power to deal with illegal immigration issues — an idea that has been debated largely due to questions about whether local law enforcement has the time and resources to tackle what is now a federal task. Carpenter said that if such legislation were to be passed, she would support making funds available to law enforcement.
"One thing that I'm totally against is unfunded mandates," she said.
Haire, however, said that illegal immigration is and should remain a federal issue, although a current Republican proposal to construct a border fence between the United States and Mexico "is absolutely ridiculous," he said.

Wake Up to These 2 Opportunities
When I asked him why he'd say, "It helps me fall asleep." When I became a teenager I learned what that gold-colored liquid was that Grandpa used it for his nightly insomnia. My personal struggles with sleep are different than Grandpa's. I can fall asleep without much assistance, but I have trouble staying asleep.
My doctor diagnosed me with a "sleep-disordered breathing" condition and suggested that I try a bi-level, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. Now I can't sleep without it.
One of the machines I've used and benefited from is made by ResMed (RMD) , and I've since learned it's an industry-leading company with lots of positive momentum.
RMD is a profitable developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and other respiratory disorders. The company's Web site declares the company is "...dedicated to developing innovative products to improve the lives of those who suffer from these conditions and to increasing awareness among patients and healthcare professionals of the potentially serious health consequences of untreated sleep-disordered breathing."
Millions suffer from SBD and, as ResMed's Web site states emphatically , "SDB affects around 20% of the adult population, making it as widespread as diabetes or asthma. However, awareness is low and we believe that about 90% of people who have OSA remain undiagnosed and untreated."
This is a very serious, life-threatening challenge, and SBD is most commonly related with a condition called "sleep apnea." RMD's Web site explains the opportunities: "Along with an increasing understanding of the morbidity and mortality caused by SDB, this discrepancy has created one of the fastest growing segments of the respiratory industry. ResMed is positioned to meet the growing challenges of this under-penetrated market."
This may help explain why RMD's year-over-year quarterly earnings growth was a remarkable 41%. The stock, which closed on Tuesday, at $40.86, is selling for less than 18 times forward (one-year earnings). Yet, its price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio (five-year expected) is only 1.06. This indicates shares are still undervalued.Take a look at the one-year price chart with its skyrocketing diluted EPS growth rate. RMD data by YCharts
Analysts' consensus one-year target price for RMD is currently just above the 52-week high of $42.30. There's room for, and the possibility of, upward earnings guidance and thus a higher price target. Shares dipped to $38.08 on Nov. 16 after it paid its quarterly dividend of 17 cents.
The current annual dividend provides a yield-to-price of 1.7%. If you're fortunate enough to pick up some shares on a price correction to $38.50, that yield-to-price rises to nearly 1.8%. You might want to watch the stock's movement for the next few days while doing your own due diligence about RMD.

Merlin T. Doyle
Merlin T. Doyle
CHELSEA Merlin Thomas Tuffy Doyle, 88, died Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2014, at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph, Vt.
He was born July 5, 1925, in Chelsea, the son of John and Bertha E. (Bowen) Doyle. He attended school in Chelsea and worked on farms in Chelsea and Barre, before moving to Guilford, Conn., where he lived and worked for a short time.
He served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Korea. After serving his country, he came back to Chelsea, where he worked at various jobs and started his first dairy herd.
On Oct. 15, 1949, he married Alice M. Taplin, of Chelsea. In 1953, Tuffy and Alice purchased a farm, which they worked together for over 40 years. In 1995 their son Jim took over managing the farm. While Tuffy was farming, he and his brother Wayne Doyle also ran Doyles Gas Service in Chelsea.
He played town team baseball when he was younger and worked at the Tunbridge Fair for many years. He enjoyed deer and raccoon hunting, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, bowling on the Masonic team, playing pinochle with family, dancing and fiddle music, fireworks, watching the Vermont Mountaineers and the Red Sox play baseball, supporting and watching the Chelsea school ball games, and visiting with his many friends.
He was a member of the George Washington Lodge 51 F&AM of Chelsea, where he was a past master; he was a member of the Lady Washington Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 86 of Chelsea, Coburn-Eastman Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8451 of Chelsea and VFW Post 792 of Montpelier, Vt. He served as VFW Vermont state commander from 1997 to 1998. He was a member of the Knights Templar of Barre, Vt., Sons of Union Veterans HEK Hall Camp 28 of Chelsea for 65 years, Orange County Farm Bureau, and Chelsea Fish & Game Club, where he helped with the ski tow and fishing derby.
He was a lister for the town of Chelsea from 1966-1983, and also served as justice of the peace, fence viewer and on the Board of Civil Authority. He also served as a Masonic representative to the Veterans Administration Hospital in White River Junction, Vt. He was a charter member of the advisory board of the Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery, located in Randolph Center; and on the board of directors of Upper Valley Services. For many years, Tuffy coordinated the annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day programs. He and his wife placed American flags on the graves of veterans and were responsible for the flags up and down Main Street in Chelsea. Patriotism was important to Tuffy, and he was instrumental in helping his fellow Masons place the new flag pole on the town green in Chelsea.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Alice Doyle, of Chelsea; two sons, Jim Doyle and Andy Doyle, both of Chelsea; two daughters, Teresa Doyle, of East Montpelier, Vt., and Sandy Doyle, of East Barre, Vt.; four grandchildren and four great-grandsons; a sister, Julia DeGoosh, of Riverton, Vt.; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by a grandson, Adam Doyle, in 2008; four brothers, Leo, Walter, John Jr. and Wayne Doyle; and three sisters, June Prescott, Gertrude Lyford and Doris Crum.
Calling hours will be held Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Boardway & Cilley Funeral Home, 300 Vermont Route 110, Chelsea, VT 05038. A funeral service will be held Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014, at 3 p.m. at the United Church of Chelsea in Chelsea, Vt., with Pastor Tom Harty officiating. A Masonic burial service will be held later this spring in the Highland Cemetery in Chelsea, with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to either: First Branch Ambulance Inc., P.O. Box 74, Chelsea, VT 05038; or Chelsea Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 264, Chelsea, VT 05038; or the United Church of Chelsea, P.O. Box 98, Chelsea, VT 05038.

How to get rid of scars
Published On: Nov 08 2012 11:31:20 AM PST Updated On: Nov 20 2012 12:08:35 PM PST
Do you have a scar from a previous surgery or injury that you hate looking at? Or is your scar obvious and unsightly? There are ways to minimize these scars.
Scar revision surgery can minimize the scar so it's more consistent with your skin tone and texture near the scar.
Scar revisions can be performed on people of all ages.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, you might be a candidate for scar revision treatments if: you are bothered by a scar, you are healthy, you don't smoke, you have realistic goals for your surgery, and you don't have acne or other skin diseases in the area that is going to be treated.

CDA man sentenced for animal cruelty
A judge in northern Idaho has sentenced a Coeur d'Alene man to at least 30 days in jail for seriously injuring his ex-girlfriend's miniature schnauzer last summer.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reports that Michael Dobler, 27, was sentenced on the misdemeanor animal cruelty charge by Judge Penny Friedlander Monday. Prosecutors said Dobler offered to walk the three-year-old dog named Shaylee last year but returned the mini schnauzer with serious injuries. A vet testified that the animal had injuries consistent with being kicked and dragged behind a vehicle.
Dobler never admitting harming the dog, but entered a modified guilty plea agreeing that there was enough evidence to convict him.

Bob Pittman had no intention of putting lipstick on a pig. The native Southerner and C-suite veteran, who was semi-retired a few years ago and overseeing private equity firm Pilot Group, was looking for a canny investment, a hidden gem with undiscovered value and untapped potential. He didn't want a flabby firm that he'd need to dress up to hide its inherent flaws.
So Pittman ended up staking $5 million into radio behemoth Clear Channel, with its 850 local stations around the country—including top-rated KIIS-FM in Los Angeles and Z100 in New York—as well as a global outdoor advertising division and digital properties.
That investment turned out to be the first step in yet another phase of his long and distinguished media career. Pittman went from investor to consultant—as in, "I told them I'd help out part-time"—to chairman and CEO of Clear Channel Communications. The move came as a surprise to many industry watchers but was a homecoming of sorts for Pittman, who, at 15, started his long media career as a small-town radio announcer in Mississippi.
"I wasn't going to do this again," Pittman—who this year was selected as the first ever Adweek Hot List Media Visionary—says of his 2011 return to a top corporate gig. "But I just thought, Oh my God, look at these assets. Think of what you can do with all that."
It didn't matter that Clear Channel, syndicated home to right-wing commentators Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, suffered from an image problem and had none of the sex appeal of music streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. In fact, that was a major draw to Pittman, a media pioneer who, in his 20s, led the original team that launched MTV. He later spearheaded turnarounds at Century 21 real estate and Six Flags theme parks before becoming COO at the ill-fated AOL Time Warner. That exotic résumé prompted his former MTV colleague Tom Freston to describe him as a "jack of all trades" who's been "reincarnated so many times he's like Buddha."
Since radio in general and Clear Channel in particular have been contented "to sit at the kid's table for no good reason," Pittman says he felt it was high time to lead the charge, becoming a cheerleader for a medium that was vital at its core but rough around the edges. "Many businesses have a better reputation than the facts would suggest," Pittman argues. "Clear Channel had better facts than reputation. I love a business like this."
Evangelism came with the territory and, coincidentally, has always come easily for Pittman, the smooth-talking son of a Methodist minister. Lately he's been spreading the radio gospel at trade conferences, tech gatherings and investor groups, hammering home its value as an advertising tool and trying to snag a bigger share of marketers' budgets. Calling it "the last real-time, mass-market medium" and "America's companion," Pittman preaches about radio's reach (92 percent of Americans listen to the radio, the same as in 1970), its return on investment (which he calls "spectacular") and its future (hint: it's multiplatform).
Even Clear Channel's $20 billion debt load, from a leveraged buyout in 2008, didn't dissuade him. The company, which generated $6.3 billion in revenue in 2013, recently negotiated a multiyear extension on its debt payments.
One of Pittman's lieutenants, John Sykes, says the energy at Clear Channel these days is familiar to him, but from a completely different context. "I feel the same spirit, the same drive to carve out a brand-new business as I did with him at MTV 34 years ago," explains Sykes, brought in by Pittman to run the newly created Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises. "Only this time, it's on top of a very old, traditional one, an incredibly powerful medium."
They had no wind at their backs at MTV, Sykes remembers, still they fervently believed the music channel would catch on. Clear Channel's advantage is its scope and reach. Its owned stations cover 100 cities, and Premiere Radio Networks blankets 100 more on some 5,000 stations. Talent like Ryan Seacrest and Elvis Duran draw millions. Its rapidly growing iHeartRadio audio service, free app, live events and TV business all expand the audience. "Bob has said, 'Don't think of it as 850 radio stations, towers and transmitters—think of it as 240 million consumers a month,'" says Sykes.

It's January 6th, the luckiest day of the year, hopefully the Knicks aren't going to need it. After some woeful performances, including this week on Wednesday against the Bobcats, we gotta come out playing as an NBA team, a good one at that. We can't let wizardry and luckiness defeat us.
Starting Line-ups:
Washington Wizards
PG-John Wall
SG-Nick Young
SF-Rashard Lewis
PF-Andray Blatche
C-JaVale McGee
New York Knicks
PG-Iman Shumpert
SG-Landry Fields
SF-Carmelo Anthony
PF-Amar'e Stoudemire
C-Tyson Chandler
RunningJumper's opinion of the starting line-up:
- I think Balkman should be starting instead of Amar'e. I know once Amar'e gets rolling he should be in the starting line-up, but he simply doesn't deserve to be a starter over Balkman when Balkman plays defense and does other hustle plays. Amar'e has played like a rookie this season. He needs to prove why he should be paid for his contract. Don't let the whole superstar label and image fool you into thinking that's why he should start tonight.
- Shumpert should start as PG. So far he's shown to be more of a SG, but we're short-handed, and well, we need good play from our starting PG, even if if he's been playing more as a SG. Douglas has not done that. Fields stays in the starting line-up over Douglas because Shumpert will provide what we need while Fields will do all the off-the-ball plays and rebound, we can't have Douglas jacking up shots starting. Mike D'Antoni said there's a possibly he could be starting after being impressed by his 18 point game against the Bobcats.
Key match-up
If Shumpert is the defender he's said to be, which so far he hasn't led us to believe he's not, then he is going to be a big part of defending Wall, and possibly the biggest part of winning the game. Wall is a bullet, no pun intended, in the fastbreak, good thing for us, Shumpert has great speed, vertical, and strength to match. Last season Wall has shown he needs to work on finishing near the rim. Did he improve this season significantly? Well if he did, it didn't equate to wins. Still, he's a threat on the fastbreak and near the basket.
After seeing this lay-up at :27, the thought of our rookie possessing John Wall speed with his other offensive and defensive abilities, made me look forward to him even more. This makes for an interesting, and maybe exciting match-up.
Sadly, Ronny Turiaf won't be playing tonight for the Wizards because of a broken left hand, same injury Manu Ginobli got this week.
At least we got the bearded ones (Baron) on the suit team tonight!
In The Hotseat
D'Antoni has left many fans unhappy, including fans at the Garden who let it be known there and many posters who let it be known here. This might be his biggest game going against a 0-6 team with a Knicks core that should be enough to get a victory. If he wants to keep Dolan and Grunwald from being that disgruntled this early on, we must win.
New York Knicks Scene Girl of the night
I wonder if any exists...I hope.
Go Knicks!

nice thread homie
we lose this and im gonna start a belltower shooting lol
Jared Jefferies
Some say that he once threw a rock in the air.......and missed
This starting lineup is one of the best we can present right now. I reckon it should be Bibby that starts with Shumpert at the 2. Bibby needs to get some proper minutes as the possibility of him reaching even 1/3 of his potential is far better than anything Douglas can produce at PG. Knicks need a PG, and they need him now.
Why am I not confident about this game...
I'll Be There In Section 121 Right Behind The Knicks Bench!!! Look For Me On Tv Guys!! I'll Be Wearing A Knicks Fitted!!! Screaming Fire D'amphony The Whole Game!!!!
The Wizards have the talent to beat us. They just need to figure it out.
McGee = Chandler
STAT = Blatche Both are bigs who love the jumper.
Melo > Lewis
Fields < Young
Douglas < Wall
We could very well lose this one.
who ever bench performs the best will win this game
Doesn`t it just go to prove how bad things are when you feel like beating the Wizards might be tricky and if we win it would be a relief.
This is the Wizards we are talking about. There should be no doubt about us winning but hear we all are feeling apprehensive about playing them.
sack No D-Toni now before it`s too late.
3 straight home losses to Toronto, Charlotte, and Washington may actually be enough to even open Dolan's eyes to the MDA situation.
That said, my prediction is that the Knicks will get it together tonight and much to the dismay of much of this forum, the efforts of Shump and the other usual suspects will take the heat off MDA for at least another night.
Also, benching a guy like STAT, who went 25 and 12 on Wednesday night, even if his defense is some of the worst in the league, for a guy like Balkman who is a defensive specialist who actually doesn't play too much game changing defense (if you watch him play all that closely) is a move that would greatly expedite the demise of this team in more ways than one imho.
I don't mind Amar'e starting though, but if he doesn't get his act together within the next two or three games, then I rather have Balkman start over him. His eyes need to be opened to effort and hustle.

Nice game thread running jumper...are u a westcoast homie? I only ask that because those look like westcoast rappers in the songs u posted, i know at least yukmouth is.
That scene girl of the night looks sorta gothic and young...bro im gonna need to see some proof that this girl is 18. That must be the younger sister of somebody that posts on here. JPZ's gonna be mad when he sees his little sis
All jokes aside, im pissed that Antoni pulled ShuMPVert (double entendre) (meaning MVP which obvious, and vert because he has a very high vertical jump) from the starting lineup. He should learn how to bench Melo or Amare half way through the 1st and bring then back in late. I would sit Amare at 6 minutes in then bring him back between 2 and 3 minutes left, rest Shumpert and then at the start of 2nd quarter bring shump back in while u rest Melo. Either Melo or shumpert should be on the floor at all times. Having Amare out there with just fields and Douglas could mean problems. Walker too, or whoever. And play Balkman more minutes, his defense and energy are amazing.
My predicition.. Maurice Evans 35pts, 7rebs, 13 ast

Returns are in: It's a hit
September 20, 2012 —
Big Eddy Film Festival is 'a winner'
By FRITZ MAYER
NARROWSBURG, NY — The first annual Big Eddy Film Festival, which was held in Narrowsburg on September 14 through 16, was successful enough that the organizers will probably bring it back next year. That's according to Elaine Giguere executive director of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA), which organized the festival with the newly-formed Catskill Film Commission.
At the opening reception on Friday evening she was already feeling optimistic because the first film, "For Ellen," had advance sales of about two thirds of the 150 seat Tusten Theater. At the screening, only three seats remained unsold.
During the rest of the weekend, the feature films were all nearly sold out, while the documentaries played to about half-full houses.
Giguere said for a long time members of the DVAA were hesitant to launch an event called a film festival because of the negative memories area residents have over the Narrowsburg International Independent Film Festival founded by Jocelyn and Richard Castellano in 1999, which ended with bounced checks and arrests, and a year-long jail sentence for Richard.
The DVAA was, however, involved with moving images through its DIGit and CineArt Film Series programs, and this year they decided enough time had elapsed since the previous festival that they could launch the current one.
Tina Spangler, communications director with DVAA and part of the team that selected the films, said there were local connections to some of them. The first feature, "For Ellen," was written and directed by So Yong Kim and produced by her husband Bradley Rust Gray. The couple recently moved to Lackawaxen, PA, and was on hand for a question and answer session after the screening.
Another feature called "Fat Kid Rules the World" was based on the novel by KL Going, who lives in Glen Spey. She, too, was available for the question and answer.
Spangler said people in this community are smart and engaged and the question and answer sessions were well received and engaging.
Giguere said the festival is a good fit with the area, which has grown steadily as having a reputation for attracting artists. First, visual artists moved to the area, because they can work alone. Then, a wave of writers moved in. Now, she said, some actors are settling in the Upper Delaware Valley.
She said not all endeavors undertaken by DVAA are as successful as the Big Eddy Film Festival. She said, "This one seemed to generate real excitement from the community, so it's a winner."

Wow! I visit up to 10 different Knick-Forums per week, and I notice this Knick 2007-8 Season alot of members just dropped out mainly because of this Knicks poor losing season.
Which has started numerous debates and drawn out arguments that leads into physical altercation if face to face. WHY?
What else is there to write about in a Knick Forum when your angry at Dolan, Isiah, the players, for another Knick LOSS.
So we take it out on each other.
We all want our teams to WIN more games than they lose.
This Knick poor season is noticible when you go to the Garden and dont see the regular old fans there.
Alot of my co-workers that has been Knick-fans for years stop going to the Garden or even watching the Knicks this season.
When you go to realgm site you dont see half of the members they had on their during Larry Brown tour with the Knicks.

QUOTE (jamescolin @ Dec 4 2009, 05:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I know there are some unfortunates but they are not all they seem. Reguarly in the paper shop I am behind unemployed people who buy forty fags and spend Ł20 on the lottery. Further I have also seen lots of former Featherstone supporters both employed and unemployed in the pubs watching Sky on television. That is another avenue that is open to them. I still think it is a matter of choice. Having been extremely poor myself and unemployed I have every sympathy for disabled people in any form. I also have personal experience of that. I am simply saying that people have their priorities and it is a matter of choice. I get better value watching Sky than I do BBC. Now if you were advocating a reduction in the BBC licence fee I would be right behind you. People might not be able to afford Sky because they have put other things before it in their list of how they spend their money. It is still a matter of choice. Don't think Robin that I haven't got some thoughts that follow your line of thinking. I still believe that facilities for workers such as canteens and playing fields provided by employers are only provided bercause a happy worker, works harder and makes more brass for the boss. See You, Col.
Well done Robin on having the patience to reply to the above post. For me there are far to many generalisations and stereo-types to be bothered with.

TV's most religious family?
The enormous popularity of The Simpsons, now in its 12th television season, suggests that religious people have a sense of humor—contrary to the usual wisdom in Hollywood. The program takes more satirical jabs at spiritual matters than any other TV show, yet the erratic cartoon family has an appreciative audience among many people of faith and among many analysts of religion.

First responders in coastal regions will help people prepare for the worst during National Hurricane Preparedness Week May 25 through June 3.
This year's Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1st through November 30. The Eastern Pacific season is May 15th through November 30. The National Weather Service has already compiled a list of names for hurricanes and tropical storms anticipated for this season.
Based on records dating to 1950, a typical season has 12 tropical storms; about seven of those become raging hurricanes. Tropical storms have sustained winds of 39 mph or higher, becoming hurricanes when those winds reach 74 mph, producing enough power to wreck houses and flood neighborhoods.
USA Today reports that even the best forecasts can be wrong. In 2012, more than twice as many hurricanes formed than were predicted. The results were devastating for many U.S. homes and businesses.
The National Weather Service says prepare early for hurricane season,and prepare well:
"Everyone needs to be prepared for the unexpected. Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe? You may have to evacuate or be confined to your home. What will you do if water, gas, electricity or phone services are shut off?"
The best advice includes acquiring an emergency preparedness kit containing items to help you and your family during a hurricane or tropical storm. Consider having more than one kit and storing those in different locations at your home or office. In addition, the National Weather Service advises:
Emergency Plans
• Protect yourself and family with a Family Emergency Plan for your residence
• Consider an Emergency Plan if you are away from home, such as at work
• Business owners should create a Workplace Emergency Plan
• Make sure that schools and daycare centers your children attend have School Emergency Plans
• Pet owners should plan to care for their animals with a special pet survival kit
• If you own a boat, prepare it for a coming storm or move it away from the coastal area
Be alert for evacuation guidelines from local authorities. It's smart to keep a contact list of local resources including emergency management agencies, law enforcement, local hospitals and the American Red Cross.
The first ten names that the National Weather Service has chosen for 2014 hurricanes and tropical storms are: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias and Josephine.
Be prepared for any of them!

Freedom New Mexico
KINGSVILLE, Texas — Two errors led to two unearned runs for Texas A&M-Kingsville in the bottom of the seventh on Friday, and the Javelinas completed a Lone Star Conference South Division softball sweep of Eastern New Mexico University with a 3-2 victory.
Kingsville took the opener 3-0. The teams complete their three-game series with a noon (MST) single game today.
ENMU senior Kristen Cruickshank was working on a six-hitter when the Javelinas' Dalia Marroquin reached on an error by first baseman Taylor Howard leading off the bottom of the seventh. Kingsville (8-11, 2-0 LSC) then bunted twice and both turned into singles to load the bases.
After Ariel Lichtenberger flied to center, ENMU shortstop Melissa Williams fielded Lindsey Brown's grounder and threw wildly, allowing the tying and winning runs to score.
The Javelinas scored on Lichtenberger's one-out RBI triple in the first. ENMU tied it in the third on Cruickshank's RBI fielder's choice, but left the bases loaded.
The Zias (6-16, 0-2) took the lead in the fifth when right fielder Alex Mayo Otis, who went 4-for-4, singled and scored when catcher Michelle Anderson grounded into a double play.
In the opener, Brown tossed a two-hit shutout and keyed a three-run fourth with an RBI double
Brown (6-6) gave up singles to Mayo Otis and Rebecca Quinones to start the game, then retired 21 of the final 22 hitters. She left runners stranded in scoring position in the first, but the only other ENMU baserunner was Howard, who reached on Lichtenberger's one-out error at shortstop in the fifth.
ENMU senior right-hander Kimberly Crouse (2-6) pitched a complete-game six-hitter, but four of the hits came in the fourth inning. Lichtenberger singled to left-center with one out, then scored on Brown's double to center field.
Amanda Arriaga hit a run-scoring single later in the inning, while Jessica Schneider drove in the third run with a groundout to second.

New Signage and Directories the Latest Campus Enhancement Projects at BSC
The installation of new signage and directories on Bluefield State College's Bluefield campus mark the latest in a series of campus enhancement projects at the institution. The directory and map, located next to the Rt. 52 entrance to the campus, includes a parking space adjacent to the directory, so motorists visiting the College may view the directory without leaving their vehicles. Signs adjacent to each building on BSC's Bluefield campus note the academic programs, offices, and services available within that building. Additionally, BSC is finalizing projects in a campus enhancement program. Already, the program has seen a major improvement in BSC walkways and sidewalks, campus lighting, historical markers, two patios, flowers and shrubs, and the installation of increased lighting throughout the campus. Construction personnel are concluding installation of an elevator in Conley Hall, the BSC administration building.

Woman found dead in rural Rock County shed
Man flown to UW Hospital
A woman in her late 50s was found shot to death in a shed in rural Rock County Wednesday morning, according to the Rock County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies and a SWAT team responded to 6707 West Stuart Road in Plymouth Township at 8:18 a.m. for a report of a shooting. A perimeter was set up around the home.
Investigators said they found a man in his 70s who they believe to be a suspect in the shooting in another shed on the property. They said he had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was taken by MedFlight to University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison.
Detectives said it appeared there might have been some altercation. They believe the man and woman are acquainted but they're not sure to what extent they are acquainted.
The Rock County Sheriff's Office said the man, who is the lone suspect, is in custody at UW Hospital and listed in critical condition.
Sheriff's officials said the scene is secure and there's no reason for residents to be fearful for their safety.
The Rock County sheriff will hold a news conference Thursday morning to release more information.

I am new to this and i have a question
i went back to work about 6 weeks ago and have been pumping only 2 times a day for about 20 minutes each time (once in morning and once in afternoon). Now my employer tells me that I have to punch out to pump.... shouldnt they have told me this in the beginning. If another coworker complained about it, should I be the one to pay? I live in Ohio, and they told me because they are under 25 employees they do not have to abide by employement laws....b/s i think.
thanks for all answers.

RNC Co-Chair shares vision for party during La Crosse visit
Renew, grow, win. That's the new Republican theme after a second straight loss in the race for the White House.
And it's that message they're hoping to spread across the nation as the party re-focuses for the next set of elections. The Republican National Committee Co-Chair made a stop in La Crosse Thursday night.
She says the party has the right ideals for the country and more than enough support.
It's just a matter of spreading the word and finding more voters. "We all understand what is important to us and to our families, good education for our children, safety for our country, to live within our means as a nation, and when you look at those things, you just need more messengers in the communities to get out and talk about it," said Sharon Day.
Day says the biggest change will be a return to grassroots efforts to successfully rebuild the party.

ITS announcement: Expanded Wireless Coverage at Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Aug 30/11
Following a successful pilot of a new high density wireless technology, ITS would like to announce expansion of wireless capability in several locations:
Odeon - All Floors
Science Building - Atrium
3rd Floor Bricker Academic Building and some areas adjacent
Peters Building - All Floors
Schlegel Building - All Floors
Fred Nichols Campus Centre - Cafeteria and 3rd Floor
255 King - 3rd and 4th Floors
While some are already complete, all of the locations listed above will be complete by the end of September. The Dining Hall (including Paul Martin Centre/Senate and Board Chamber) was completed in Spring 2011 with the successful close of the pilot project.
The technology being deployed is a high density Wi-Fi solution comprised of "arrays" - each of which has the capability to act as 4, 8, 12 or 16 of the traditional "access points" coupled with other components that improve reliability, security and manageability.
As a result, the devices provide much more range, coverage and bandwidth, while supporting higher numbers of simultaneous connections - in a manner that also supports "spikes" in traffic demand as people move and congregate. Members of the Laurier community will enjoy a much more reliable and consistently performing wireless solution as a result.
Some of this work has been made possible as a result of generous funding contributions from WLUSU and PRISM. ITS wishes to extend an important thank you to these groups for their partnership in bringing reliable wireless capability to more areas of campus than would otherwise possible at this point in time.

June 11, 2010—North Central College is showing its commitment to sustainability by using a new line of eco-friendly graduation wear made from 100 percent, post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
With millions of plastic bottles ending up in landfills daily and remaining there for generations, the academic apparel manufacturer Oak Hall introduced its new GreenWeaver line, which uses 23 bottles per gown. To date, the company says it has deferred 3.5 million plastic bottles from landfills.
In addition, bottles of water that each graduate receives during Commencement will be fully utilized. Any leftover water will be poured into a rain barrel and used to water the campus garden. All empty bottles will be recycled, and it's possible that next year's graduates may be wearing them as they cross the stage.
North Central College is committed to reducing waste and energy consumption. Visit http://northcentralcollege.edu/content/sustainability-central to learn more about sustainability at North Central College.
The College's 145th graduation exercise gets underway at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 12, at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium. For more information about Commencement activities, visit www.northcentralcollege.edu/commencement or contact the North Central College Office of Alumni Relations at 630-637-5200.
Founded in 1861, North Central College is an independent, comprehensive college of the liberal arts and sciences that offers more than 55 undergraduate majors and graduate programming in six areas. Located in Naperville, Ill., North Central is recognized as one of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report, which cites it as one of the top six schools in the Midwest for "Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching"; as "a college for high-achieving students" by Peterson's Competitive Colleges; and as one of "America's Best Colleges" by Forbes.
