Bluefield State College
Board of Governors
February 17, 2005
Members Present: Mr. John Barnes, Dr. Louis Aikens, Dr. Frank Ball, Mr. Daniel Frost, Mr.. Jack Caffrey, Mr. Edward Knight, Mr. Jack Stafford, Mr. Kevin Pruitt
Members Absent: The Reverend Garry Moore, Dr. Lyn Guy, Mr. Norris, Mr. Jeff Forlines Mr. Norris Kantor
Guests/Staff: Dr. Albert Walker, Ms. Shelia Johnson, Mr. John Cardwell, Dr. Tom Blevins, Mr. Jim Nelson, Dr. Mindy Maher, Dr. Shekhar Pradhan, Dr. Don Smith, Mr. Lionel Craddock, and Dr. Jim Voelker and students.
Board Chairman Mr. John Barnes called the meeting to order at 6:55 p.m.
Approval of December 16 and February 4 Minutes
Mr. Barnes asked for any additions or corrections to the minutes of the December 16 and February 4 Board of Governors meetings. Dr. Frank Ball indicated that he was listed as both present and absent on the December 16 minutes. A motion was made and seconded (LAikens/KPruitt) to approve the minutes with corrections. Motion carried.
Mr. Stafford added that he did not attend the February 4 BOG meeting but would like the record to state that he supported the resolution regarding residential housing.
Financial and Administrative Affairs
Ms. Shelia Johnson reported that the purchase of property in Summersville using bond money is complete. She indicated that a request has been made for a refund on the release.
Ms. Johnson also referred to a handout with information on proposed legislation regarding the division of assets with NRCTC. Next months meeting will address some of these issues. Mr. Barnes requested to discuss this issue beforehand due to some unused property in Greenbrier County. Mr. Frost asked whether the Summersville property would remain with BSC, and Ms. Johnson responded that this property was purchased primarily from bond money from the state, not BSC. Ms. Johnson also explained that the Greenbrier campus was funded by multiple sources, including the BSC and Greenbrier Foundations. Ms. Johnson indicated that she would obtain more information on the decision-making process beyond HEPC and CTCC. Dr. Ball suggested that the BOG should schedule a separate meeting to discuss this issue.
Finally, Ms. Johnson referred to a handout with information regarding Governor Manchins budget for fiscal year 2006.
Presentation of Audit Report
Ms. Shelia Johnson introduced Chris Dewiss of Suttle & Stalnaker, CPA. Mr. Dewiss reviewed key aspects of BSCs audited financial statement, including the following:
1. BSC received an unqualified opinion from its independent audit report.
2. Due to new standards required by GASB, the Foundation was included in the audit.
3. In comparison to the previous year, BSC has increased tuition and fees, contracts and grants, and operating costs.
4. In comparison to the previous year, BSC has increased total liabilities and total assets.
5. Another change for next year will be the split with NRCTC.
6. There were no findings on compliance or internal control.
Mr. Frost asked how much money the College made. Mr. Dewitt indicated that on page 17, the report states that BSCs net assets were approximately 1.2 million, which was an increase over the prior year.
Dr. Aikens asked Mr. Dewitt to comment on the recommendations made by Suttle and Stalnaker. Mr. Dewitt stated that they are required to provide recommendation on how to improve operations. He reviewed these recommendation from his letter dated November 17.
New River Community & Technical College
Dr. Walker stated that Dr. Blanks is ill and was not able to attend the meeting. Mr. Knight was asked to report for NRCTC. Mr. Knight stated that NRCTCs advisory board has been abolished according to law and that they are waiting for approval by the Secretary of State of its appointed members to the governing board. Mr. Knight clarified that Mr. Barnes will serve on NRCTCs board as a non-voting member, just as Mr. Knight will serve on BSCs board as a non-voting member.
Enrollment Management
Mr. Cardwell explained that BSC is approximately 20 students ahead of last spring. He is working with marketing students to develop brochures and marketing ideas to expand recruiting. He emphasized the need for strategic enrollment growth and the need to increase the number of upperclassmen, which would allow for growth without many additional resources.
Mr. Cardwell stated that BSC experienced a 6.8% increase in enrollment over the past fall and that BSCs retention rate is 64% from Fall 2003 to Fall 2004, which is an increase over the prior year. Mr. Cardwell reported that he is working on a required freshman orientation class.
Mr. Frost inquired about how we could accommodate more students without increasing the number of courses offered and the number of faculty. Dr. Walker responded that we would need to increase the number of faculty and investigate more weekend and electronically offered classes. He also stated that our largest need will be in the General Education core courses. Mr. Cardwell re-stated the desire to draw more upperclassmen and transfer students.
Mr. Cardwell also reported that we enrolled 175 first-time freshmen in Fall 2004. Our entering students ACT scores had increased to an average of 19.4 and the high school GPA average was 3.26. Additionally, BSCs default rate has decreased to 8.7%.
Presidents Report
Dr. Walker referred to an article from the Bluefield Daily Telegraph on Senate Bill 169, which would allow BSC to provide graduate courses. Mr. Stafford asked why the board had previously discussed the addition of an MBA program, if we dont have authority to offer graduate courses. Dr. Walker explained that we are only in the planning phase with the MBA program. Dr. Walker further explained that BSC is showing its support for this legislation.
Dr. Walker delivered a PowerPoint presentation on the activities and events that had taken place at BSC since the last meeting of the Board.
Mr. Barnes invited BOG members to attend a meeting to finalize the agreement on the Greenbrier library project. Mr. Stafford and other board members questioned why they did not receive specific information on the prior meeting in order to attend. Mr. Barnes explained that it was his understanding that all BOG members would be invited and provided with information on the meeting. He further explained that another meeting of the sub-committee would be scheduled to discuss the contract and that he would like the board members to attend.
Dr. Aikens requested a clarification of the relationship between BSC and its Foundation. Mr. Barnes explained that the Foundation is an independently functioning, tax exempt body. Dr. Walker further explained that the development of the Foundation is also one of our Title III activities. Although the Foundation has no employees, Title III and the Research and Development Corporation does have college employees which assist with the development of the Foundation.
Executive Session
A motion was made and seconded (Laikens/KPruitt) to go into Executive Session.
Mr. Barnes asked if there was any further business. Dr. Walker stated that President Bush is recommending an increase in Title III funding and in research funds for small four-year colleges.
Next meeting date
The next meeting of the Board of Governors will take place at 6:45 p.m., March 17, 2005.
A motion was made and seconded (LAikens/DFrost) to adjourn the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

June 29, 2011 —
BRADFORD AND SUSQUEHANNA COUNTIES, PA — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it will undertake "case studies" regarding hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as it carries out its congressionally mandated review of the process over the next several years.
One of the areas that will be studied for what has already occurred is Bradford and Susquehanna counties in Northeast PA. Dimock Township, PA, the area where gas drilling is believed to be the cause of the contamination of about 14 wells, and where a group of residents is suing Cabot Oil and Gas over the contamination, is located in Susquehanna County.
A spokesperson for the EPA did not return an email about whether any of the Dimock wells will be part of the study. But Julie Sautner, who lives in one of the homes with the contaminated wells, said Dimock will be included.
A page labeled "Case Study Locations for Hydraulic Fracturing Study" says key issues to be investigated in the counties include, "ground water and drinking water well contamination, suspected surface water contamination from a spill of fracturing fluids, methane contamination of multiple drinking water wells, determine if drinking water wells are contaminated."
Other counties in Texas, North Dakota and Colorado will also be studied for "suspected drinking water aquifer contamination," as well as water well contamination and other problems.
Two prospective case studies, where EPA will monitor key aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process at future drilling sites, are located in Washington County, PA and Desoto Parish, LA. There investigators will be looking for signs of water contamination and stray gas in wells as the fracking process moves through the "full life cycle."
Some of the case studies will begin this summer.
Paul Anastas, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Research and Development, said, "We've met with community members, state experts and industry and environmental leaders to choose these case studies. This is about using the best possible science to do what the American people expect the EPA to do: ensure that the health of their communities and families are protected."
PA Senator Bob Casey, who had requested that the Pennsylvania counties be included, said, "These studies will help provide the science needed to assure that natural gas drilling is conducted in a safe and responsible manner," said Casey. "Natural gas drilling offers Pennsylvania tremendous economic opportunities if we do it right. However, we must protect against potential repercussions that could harm the environment, put people at risk and ultimately hurt businesses and Pennsylvania's economy."
Casey has introduced three fracking-related bills in the senate. The Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act would repeal a Bush administration exemption provided for the oil and gas industry and would require companies to disclose the chemicals they use in their hydraulic fracturing processes; the Marcellus Shale On-the-Job Training Act would authorize grants to strengthen training programs to help ensure natural gas drilling jobs go to Pennsylvanians and not workers from out of state; and the Faster Action Safety Team Emergency Response (FASTER) Act would provide the Occupational Safety and Health Administration with the ability to enhance emergency response procedures at oil and gas wells.

Good things come in small packages
Since I could not say it better, I'll let the gallery's words state the obvious, while adding that gallery director Rocky Pinciotti went above and beyond while hanging this exhibit, since I found it stunning to look at from any angle. Undoubtedly, Pinciotti had plenty of assistance and I tip my hat to all. The Lilliputian display runs through December and while I give it a (big) thumbs-up, don't take my word for it, but go see for yourself. Since all of the work is also for sale, it could be a perfect opportunity for holiday shopping.
If it's true that bigger is indeed better, then the BrookHouse Gallery (www.brookhousegallery.com) in Barryville should be another artful destination, since one of the goals of the gallery is to make art accessible (and affordable) to everyone, according to artist-in-residence David Bush, who strolled through the gorgeous space with me, pointing out works by various artists, including pottery by Carolyn Duke, who is featured in "The Autumn Show," on exhibit through December 10.
As I commented that the variety of artistic expression was stimulating and well priced, Bush stated that "by showcasing local artists whose work is outstanding, if folks couldn't afford to take it home, the gallery would be a museum, rather than a destination to discover pieces that can be taken home and enjoyed by anyone." Along with Duke's unique pots, BrookHouse is currently showing the paintings of Bush, James Hawley's jewelry, the "Felt Artistry" of Laurie Stuart, Ellany Gable's ceramics and the sculptures (both large and small) of Janet Rutkowski, Walter Kenul and Tom Holmes.
Observing sales taking place at the opening reception, Bush's motivation seems to be playing out and the admirable concept of "shop local" appears to be in full swing everywhere I travel through the various counties that I haunt on a regular basis. While art is subjective, it's clear that it comes in all sizes and is all around us, in joyous abundance!

Project ID:2003NH21B
Title: Water Quality and the Landscape: Long-term monitoring of rapidly developing suburban watersheds
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 03/01/2006
End Date: 02/28/2007
Congressional District: NH01
Focus Categories: Non Point Pollution, Surface Water, Nutrients
Principal Investigator: William H. McDowell
Federal Funds: $100
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 11,087
Abstract: The proposed work will continue documentation of long-term changes to water quality in response to changing land use and management practices as a result of population growth. There are several components to this project, drawing from the efforts of local watershed monitoring groups, the UNH Office of Sustainability, as well as on-going research projects by UNH staff and students, all leading to long-term datasets of water quality in New Hampshire. These datasets can be used to assess the impacts of human development, land use changes and management practices in rapidly growing areas of the state and New England. Further, these data could be used to test and refine water quality models and aid in the development of best management practices and restoration efforts across the state and region.

D'Antoni plays run and gun where anyone and everyone can shoot
the Spurs and us play uptempo where we look for good shots with the PG controlling the ball and running pick n rolls and our secondary options are Duncan post ups and Carmelo isolations
I just finished watching the Lakers lose to the Magic on league pass. Wow, the Lakers were terrible.
It looks like Dumbphoney is already having an effect on them though. No interior D. No energy, no passion, no commitment. And Dumbphoney on the sidelines clapping his hands and shouting "Lets go, lets go" whilst the Lakers are collapsing on the court. And Dwight shooting threes? lol
"Just do what you do." - Mike D'Antoni
In my opinion, D'Antoni's philosophy of SSOL will never work because the best way to get out and score in seven seconds or less on the shot clock is to play good defense and get out in transition. He's missing the underlying logic that would make his system work.
...plus all the 3 pointers. Good 3 point shooting teams are successful because they play inside-out. They post first and then swing the ball to find the open man. Another thing D'Antoni will never grasp.
D'Ant is a joke of a coach, he also lost to Houston yesterday. Lin only had 4pts and 3 dimes. The kicker is T.Douglas lead all of Houston players with 22 point. The same dude D'Ant let rot on the bench during his time with the Knicks. glad this coach is no longer our problem.
So pleased that Toney Douglas scored the way he did against Dumbphoney. I remember when Dumbphoney slagged Toney off to the press and kind of joked about him which was totally unprofessional and uncalled for.
I wonder how long it will be before Lakers fans want him out?

Resurrecting Papi and Lester
As some of you may have noticed, I have been absent from the blogosphere as of late. Once again you can blame this on exams– yes, more exams. After my AP exam, two weeks later, I had final exams in all of my other classes. My absence from the blogosphere wasn't really by choice, just like David Ortiz's absence from his normal torrential bat is not by choice, or perhaps the same way that Jon Lester's continual one-bad-inning frustrations aren't by choice.
s are the most evident.
12 Comments
Welcome back! Everyone, including me, missed you. I think you did a fantastic job on your exams. Screw Manny. He does not deserve to be in fourth place and I totally agree with Joe Torre. Love the conversations. I tend to have one with David Eckstein and Jake Peavy as well! Have a great time with Julia in Boston🙂
I've missed your posts too, Elizabeth, but I'm so glad you'll be going to Boston, hanging out with Julia and seeing your Red Sox. Maybe you'll be able to corner Ortiz and have a face-to-face with him about his hitting. I bet he'll fall right under your spell and do whatever you tell him!
I stopped voting for Manny since the suspension. Regarding the Pierre-wood, that is just street vendors selling those t-shirts. Have fun at the game! Enjoy the whole atmosphere!
Elizabeth – I can't wait for you to come to Boston! Okay – I might not be able to take you to Cheers like Scott😉 but there will be plenty to do! Well Big Papi got a double today and Lester is looking great!!! I think your talks worked! And Manny – well you know what I said on my blog – the man does not deserve it!
I'd say that Lester is the most likely to ressurrect. He just looked nasty today against the Jays. I bet the guy still wins 15 games.
Ortiz hasn't been 'locked in' all season. He has to himself out of the quicksand right now. He is swinging at "Pitchers pitches" a lot right now.
Ya, that grinds my gears too! I wish players could make the All-Star team on merit, and not popularity. More often it is the latter. Manny had a good start to the season, but with the suspension, there will be many players more deserving. It is a shame/sham.
Welcome back! I am slowly making my return to the blogs as well, but I'm sure another absence will be in order soon, with finals coming up next week.
But anyway, I couldn't agree more as far as Manny is concerned. The All-Star game is a popularity contest now, so all we can hope for is enough of us to vote for the clean and honest players.
P.S.: The quote from your English class…I love that book. Good choice!
Yet another life rule is that: "There will always be idiots." They are the ones who think American Pie: Band Camp is a good movie and now they are voting for Manny.
Nice blog. If you vote for Manny, you're being extremely stupid. I mean, he is a good player. If he was using steroids, then he doesn't deserve to be playing. But if he's not playing right now, he doesn't deserve to be voted for the all star game.
It's pretty unfortunate that people are voting for Manny. It kind of says that a baseball fan doesn't care about steroids, which, as we know, isn't true. Either way, it's a lose/lose for fans and a win/win for Manny. If he gets in, he'll play and if he gets in and chooses not to play everyone who voted will be like, "oh yes, Manny he's so great, he took the high road in this ordeal." BS. Anyway, I think it's about time I had a talk with Big Papi and Lester too, Ortiz is a little more of a concern to me. I don't like this difficulty-swinging-the-bat route that he's decided to take…
Hey, Elizabeth! Cool to hear that you and Julia will meet up! I hope to catch your photos and summary of the trip! I've said it before: Papi is reminding me too much of when we got him from Minnesota! He got his mechanics straightened out at that time. This time, I'm not sure that will solve the problem! GO SOX!
I have no idea what is wrong with Ortiz. Maybe he is hurt somehow and he is not telling anyone. Or maybe there is something wrong mentally.
Nice post. I finally came out with another one, even though it's rather short.

Apprenticeship Records for Family Historians
In this talk, Mark Pearsall, The National Archives' family history specialist, focuses on the apprenticeship system and how it worked in practice, and covers those records that survive in The National Archives, in particular the Apprenticeship Books in record series IR 1. It also suggests where to look for surviving apprenticeship records in other archives and record offices, as well as other useful sources for tracing apprentices where details of the apprenticeship indentures have not survived.
The Metropolitan Police: An Introduction to Records of Service 1829-1958
This talk provides a basic outline of the surviving records of service for Metropolitan Police officers, with examples from the records, and an overview of the origins of the service. This will be of primary interest to those with ancestors in the Metropolitan Police, and those who have not used the records before. Chris Heather has worked at The National Archives for 25 years and is a Senior Reader Adviser in the Advice and Records Knowledge department. He has a particular interest in records of the Metropolitan Police, prisoners and transportation.

I'm new on board and hoping you can help me with a problem. I've got an html table populated by a php foreach routine. One field in this table is an Input type=checkbox. The goal is to run a javascript function when the user checks the checkbox. But, since the checkbox is in a table populated by a foreach routine, I'm having some problems. Below is the applicable code for my table:
Code: Select all
foreach($results as $row)
$bk_owner = $row['BookOwner'];
$addrss_owner = $row['AddressOwner'];
$f_name = $row['FName'];
$l_name = $row['LName'];
$email = $row['EmailAddress'];
$d_phone = $row['DeskPhone'];
$ext = $row['Ext'];
$cell = $row['CellPhone'];
$title = $row['Title'];
echo "
";
echo "".$l_name ."	";
echo "".$f_name ."	";
echo "".$email ."	";
echo "".$d_phone ."	";
echo "".$ext."	";
echo "".$cell."	";
echo "".$title."	";
echo "<input type='checkbox' id='chk_Bx' value=". $addrss_owner. " onClick='selectFunction()'></input>	";
echo "
";
Specifically, note this line:
Code: Select all
echo "<input type='checkbox' id='chk_Bx' value=". $addrss_owner. " onClick='selectFunction()'></input>	";
the value is set to $address_owner. This value is a primary key value and will allow me to run routines related to the record chosen when the checkbox is checked.
Following is the javascript code for selectFunction():
Code: Select all
function selectFunction(){
var check = document.getElementById("chk_Bx").checked;
var val = document.getElementById("chk_Bx").value;
At this point the javascript is very simple. All I'm trying to do is pick up applicable values for the record selected. But - I believe because the table is populated through a foreach loop, the javascript alert is returning the same primary key value for every record checked (or unchecked).
Also, if I alert out check, it continually returns false, even if I've checked the box and it should read true. I am assuming this is also related to the foreach table presentation.
How do I grab ONLY the primary key value, or checked true/false for the applicable record?
Thanks in advance:

Dicke College of Business Administration at Ohio Northern University honors three with Pinnacle Awards
The Dicke College of Business Adminis tration at Ohio NorthernUniversity honored three individuals with Pinnacle Awards at a b an quet held March 14.
This prestigious award, which honors individuals who have made the highest commitment to the business college, was given to Eugene A. Beeler (posthumously), Joanne Griffith Lipski, and Mark J. Palmer.
"We wanted an avenue to publicly say 'thank you' to the people who have made significant and sustained gifts to the college," said Jim Fenton, dean of the Dicke College of Business Administration. "Through their generosity, they've had a tremendous and transformative impact on our students and the business college generally."
Beeler served as a member of the 379th Infantry Regiment, 95th Infantry Division, during World War II. After graduating from ONU in 1949 with a Bachelor of Arts in accounting, he became a certified public accountant and founding partner of Howard & Beeler in Lima, Ohio, (now known as Lentol, Violet, Kienitz and Company). In 1997, Beeler established The Eugene A. Beeler, Herman and Nettie Beeler, and Leota Beeler Endowment Fund at Ohio Northern to honor his parents and sister. This endowment fund created a scholarship for accounting students in the College of Business Administration. At Beeler's passing in October 2006, he added to this fund by bequest. His foresight and gift planning in establishing the Beeler Scholarship have helped countless students attend his alma mater.
Lipski, a 1972 graduate of Ohio Northern University, is a certified public accountant who resides in Perrysburg, Ohio. She currently is a trustee of ONU and has served in that role for more than 30 years. In past years, she has served as chair or vice-chair of the Committee on Admissions, Enrollment and Financial Aid; the Academic Affairs Committee; the Audit Committee; and Honorary Degree Committee of the Board of Trustees. In 2011, she was honored with The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration Outstanding Service Award. In 2012, she received a Distinguished Alumni Award from ONU's Alumni Association.
Lipski is active in the community and has served as co-chair for Relay for Life in Perrysburg, co-chaired several school levy campaign committees and served as an officer in the League of Women Voters. She also is active in the First United Methodist Church in Perrysburg. At ONU, Lipski was a member of Delta Zeta, Alpha Lambda Delta and Aurora.
Palmer graduated from Ohio Northern University in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science in both business administration and economics. An active student while at ONU, Palmer was student body president, a three-time letter-winner in football, a resident assistant, a member of the Phi Kappa Theta social fraternity, and a member of several academic fraternities and honoraries.
After graduating from ONU, Palmer went on to earn his Juris Doctor in 1982 from Rutgers University. He practiced law in Columbus as an associate with Chester Saxbe Hoffman & Willcox and then with Bricker & Eckler, where he was made a partner. In 1999, he co-founded The Joseph Group Capital Management, an investment advisory firm, with his brother. Today, Palmer is the chief executive officer of The Joseph Group.
In 2011, Gov. John Kasich appointed Palmer to the Board of Directors of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. He was reappointed to the board last year, and he serves as chair of the board's Investment Committee. Palmer has served the Ohio Northern Board of Trustees for more than 25 years, first as student representative, then as president of the Alumni Association, and finally as a full member of the board, a position that he holds today.
The names of this year's honorees will be added to a fabricated sculpture on the ground floor of James F. Dicke Hall. The contemporary display, constructed of copper, aluminum and stainless steel, stands as a public and enduring testament to the individuals who have reached a pinnacle in their generosity and service to the college.

Josh Kelley
Petrillo Music Shell – Chicago, IL
Josh Kelley was nothing like what I had expected from a singer/songwriter type of guy. I was expecting him to be just like all the other singer/songwriter guys that play guitar while singing about girls and love. But to my pleasant surprise, he stuck out from all of the rest! I laughed out loud multiple times during his commentary between songs. This guy is FUNNY and is not afraid to make fun of himself in front of thousands of people. No wonder Katherine Heigl married the man. I would too if he was available (and I somehow ended up dating him). I didn't know any of Josh's music before his show. It was a first for me to see him live in concert.
The first thing I noticed while up in the photo pit waiting for Josh to come on stage was the keyboard. It was positioned right next to his microphone and guitar pedals, so I knew it had to be for him. Another photographer even asked ME if he played piano – like I would know. I guess nobody knew because we were all shooting Josh for the first time and were under the impression that he just stood, played guitar, and sang. I mean, I knew he sang and played guitar (simultaneously of course!). But I had no clue the guy could play the piano as well and that just made me respect him so much more. I am a sucker for guys who rock out on the piano. He played electric and acoustic guitar during his set too (as you can see in my photos).
After I took my pictures, I watched the rest of Josh's set and waited for that one song of his that I would recognize as his big hit – the one on commercial radio. Sure enough, right before his one song encore, he played it and I instantly remembered hearing it multiple times before and NEVER knowing who sang it. For those of you who are in the same position as I was, that song is called Amazing and if you take a listen, you too will have a lightbulb moment when everything comes together.
Josh and his band also played a song that was recently chosen to be played for the Summer Beijing Olympics. The guys had never played the song for an audience before. And in fact, they had never played the song the whole way through before. Chicago's show last night was the world premiere. Don't ask me what it was called. I am so bad at remembering song titles from concerts. I can only remember the melody and hum it back to you. Obviously that's a little hard to do in a blog. Oh well. Once the Summer Beijing Olympics start up with their commercials and promo materials, everybody and their mother will hear that Josh Kelley song. Be waiting for it!

"My Luis and Clark is the best viola I've ever played, and I can't put it down. Clear and clean and strong, it allows me much more room for expression than my wooden violas. It has been really liberating, not a Viola, but something beyond."
– Andrew Bacon
Finally, after centuries, there has been an innovation to the design of the viola, which eliminates the need to have the instrument be as long as the violist can handle. The corniceless design of the Luis and Clark viola has brought about an instrument that is light, easy to handle and has an astonishing sound.
The viola has an amazingly beautiful, dark, yet vibrant resonance. It sings out effortlessly and powerfully. Weighing only 1 pound 4 ounces, the viola is much kinder to the body than traditional violas. It is 9/32 of an inch narrower on the A string shoulder, making it easier to play in the upper positions. We have an in-house, 5' 2" thirteen year old, who finds it much easier to play than her 3/4 sized wooden counterpart, which weighs twice as much.
The lower registers are rich, the upper register has luxurious warmth and there is an evenness of sound across the strings. The overall tone is one of depth, power, beauty and resonance that has to be heard to be believed. This has the potential to eliminate viola jokes once and for all.

The idea of tapping the gas created in the capped landfill in Monticello has been broached in the past, but this time around, the proposal is proposed as a part of a larger plan to transform the acreage around the landfill and the adjacent abandoned Apollo Plaza shopping mall into a use that can produce revenue for the county.
At a meeting at the government center on January 20, Don McCormick, president of Carbon Harvest Energy, said that his company would not only build a small power plant that would turn the gas created in the landfill into heat and electricity, but he also said that some part of that energy would be used to run a year-round 25- acre greenhouse and a 250,000 gallon aquaculture installation at the site.
The greenhouse would be used to raise 6700 tons of crops such as organic tomatoes and potatoes each year, and the aquaculture would be used to raise 150 tons of tilapia fish. The effluent from the fish operation, which is often treated as waste to be disposed of in other operations, would be used as fertilizer for the vegetables, and also used to create a type of algae-based fish food.
But perhaps the most interesting element of the project, from the point of view of the local agrarian economy, is that it would create a distribution hub for not only the products raised at the site, but also for produce and farm products created by small producers in the region.
Lawmaker David Sager asked if the operation specifically would benefit small farms in Sullivan County. Jeff Jones, the general manager o Vermont Hydroponic, which will partner with Carbon Harvest, said yes. He said the market created by the greenhouse will have a demand that will far exceed the amount the greenhouse will be able to deliver.
Carbon Harvest is already operating a similar facility in Brattleboro VT, and the one proposed for here is expected to result in 110 full time greenhouse "livable" jobs with benefits.
Moreover, said McCormick, there would be enough excess energy from the landfill to provide energy for other projects at the site, and the energy, which would qualify as 100 percent renewable, would be an attractive incentive for possible investors.
The general reaction among lawmakers to the proposal was positive, but there are significant questions to be answered before it could go forward.
To renovate or start from scratch
The power plant, greenhouse and aquaculture facility would be a small part of a larger development of the site, which by all accounts would feature large expanses of retail, and perhaps some entertainment elements such as a movie theater.
The two developers pursuing that part of the plan have both indicated that they would be glad to work with Carbon Harvest, but they have offered dramatically differing views about the best use of the overall site. Michael Kaplan, the developer who created, among other things, the Monticello Motor Club, said that his plan involves luring one or more big box stores, such as Sam's Club or Costco to the site, and ultimately to create more than $750,000 square feet of retail.
Kaplan said the large retailers are interested in the site because of the new exit ramp being constructed from Route 17B, the future I-86, which will exit right in front of the abandoned plaza. Kaplan was emphatic, however, that the big retailers would not be interested in the site unless the existing mall, which has been empty for more than five years, is demolished. Kaplan said, "I can't attract any retailer with the existing building there."
Lawyer Jacob Billig, representing the Resnick Supermarket Equipment Corporation, on the other hand said the best way to proceed with developing the site is to renovate the existing building and turn it into "top shelf space." He said the benefit with his proposal was that because the building is an existing structure, work could begin almost immediately. Conversely, if the building were to be demolished and all new ones built, numerous environmental hurdles would have to be surmounted and the process could take several years. (Kaplan said it might take 18 months.)
Resnick had earlier also proposed building a truck stop and motel at the site, but that would be put off to the future, and would not be included if lawmakers objected.
The presentations by Billig and Kaplan suggested that the two developers were not inclined to work with each other in developing the site. But lawmaker Leni Binder said the site is a big one, and perhaps the two organizations will yet find away to accommodate both visions for its futur

"How It Went Down"
TIME Cover: Inside Story of Bin Laden's Last Days
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Time
May 7, 2012
Author: Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
"'I can only speak with authority through Feb. 15, 2009,' said Michael Hayden, who was George W. Bush's last CIA director. 'But at that point, when people would ask "When's the last time you really knew where he was?" my answer was Tora Bora in 2001.'
Obama's first order to his new CIA Director Leon Panetta in 2009 was to 'make the killing or capture of OBL the top priority of the war against al-Qaeda.' That order grew out of a controversial Obama campaign pledge that 'if we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take him out, then we have to act and we will take him out...'
While journalists have provided a number of histories of the events that led to bin Laden's death, the purpose of this analysis is to examine White House decisionmaking for lessons that can be applied to future foreign policy challenges."

Freedom Newspapers
In an authoritarian nation, individual freedom is subordinate to the state's authority. Dissenters risk their lives and personal fortunes.
In the People's Republic of China, those risks are ongoing. As the U.S. State Department noted for 2006, China's "human-rights record remained poor, and, in certain areas, deteriorated. There were an increased number of high-profile cases involving the monitoring, harassment, detention, arrest and imprisonment of journalists, writers, activists and defense lawyers, many of whom were seeking to exercise their rights under law."
But reportedly, freedom-seeking risk-takers increasingly are aided and perhaps emboldened by Internet communications. Take for example, Zhang Zilin, of the Web-based China Pan-Blue Alliance seeking re-unification with Taiwan. Zhang recently spread details of a bloody clash between 20,000 farmers and police armed with batons in central China. Farmers had protested a bus-fare increase.
In another day and time, crushing such a protest might have gone largely unnoticed by the rest of China or the world. But Zhang, The Associated Press reported, "is a part of a burgeoning breed of activists … eager for social justice and linked by the Internet."
After World War II, China's autocratic socialist system imposed repressive controls over everyday life at the cost of tens of millions of lives. After 1978, China's leaders turned to market-oriented economic development. By 2000, output quadrupled, according to the CIA World Fact Book. For many, living standards improved dramatically, yet political controls remain tight.
As New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof has noted, "(P)olice can arrest people and torture or kill them with impunity, even if they are trying to do
nothing more than worship God."
Fellow New York Times columnist A.M. Rosenthal described China as "the world's biggest dictatorship, one particularly devoted to religious persecution."
The Voice of the Martyrs, a ministry to persecuted Christians worldwide, says China's government "is ramping up persecution against Christians as the 2008 Olympic Games approach."
China is proof there is more to freedom than free markets. Yet among the fruits of China's market reform has been "a huge expansion in computer Internet use, with more than 100 million users at the end of 2005," according to the CIA World Fact Book.
Will increasing freedom of communication spurred by the Internet ultimately transform this authoritarian nation?
That's our hope.

Questions For Heath Bell
Sometime this week I'm going to be emailing Heath Bell (technically his assistant) a few questions that I have for him. I already sent an email once, asking if it was okay to send some questions for Heath to answer. The response was from Heath's assistant, Mike, who assured me that if I sent along some questions, Heath Bell would answer them when he could.
I already have my set of questions ready to go. But before I send them along, I was wondering if anyone reading this had any questions for the Padre's closer. Just leave a comment with your question(s) in the next couple of days, and I might send it along with mine for Heath to answer.
Check back next week for the answers. (I'm hoping next week, but it may take longer or shorter, depending on Heath's schedule.)
2 Comments
I have never heard this question asked of a closer, and perhaps it is a stupid question, you decide:
Do closers think of themselves as having failed, because they can't be starters? Yes, there are a hundred famous closers, and the term itself implies a foretaste of doom for the enemy, so there's a "Fear the Reaper" cachet to the job. To be a good closer, they have to face the world with bravado and awesome stuff — but don't they feel a bit like the freaks of a baseball team? Is that why so many of them act like freaks?
I don't find that as a stupid question. I hadn't even thought of asking that. I'll send it along with mine. THANKS for contributing!

Europol is based in The Hague, the Netherlands, and has legal personality.
Europol has competence in situations where two or more Member States are in need of a common approach to tackle organised crime, terrorism and other forms of serious crime. These also include related criminal offences.
Tasks of Europol
The main tasks of Europol are to:
- collect, store, process, analyse and exchange information;
- notify Member States of any connections between criminal offences concerning them;
- assist Member States in investigations and provide intelligence and analytical support;
- request Member States to initiate, conduct or coordinate investigations in specific cases and suggest the setting up of joint investigation teams;
- draft threat assessments and other reports.
Based on Decision 2005/511/JHA on protecting the euro against counterfeiting , Europol is also designated as the central office to combat counterfeiting of the euro.
In matters where Europol has competence, its staff may participate in joint investigation teams. However, they may act only in a supportive capacity and may not take any coercive measures. The staff may provide information processed by Europol directly to the members of joint investigation teams.
National units
Each Member State is to designate a national unit to act as the sole liaison body between the competent authorities of its Member State and Europol. Only under conditions determined by the Member State in question may direct contact be permitted. Each national unit is to second at least one liaison officer to Europol, who will make up a national liaison bureau. These officers are to represent the interests of their national units and facilitate information exchanges between these units and Europol.
Information processing systems
Europol may process information and intelligence, including personal data, for the purpose of carrying out its tasks. To this end, a Europol Information System and analysis work files are established. Data entered into the system may concern persons who either have committed or are suspected of planning a criminal offence. It may consist of data relating directly to the person (name, nationality, social security number, etc.) and the offence committed. National units, liaison officers and Europol staff may input and retrieve data directly from the system. The designated competent authorities of Member States may merely search the system to ascertain that the data which they are requesting is available. Analysis work files may be opened by Europol to assemble, process and use data needed to assist in criminal investigations. In addition to the data on persons who have committed or are suspected of committing an offence, the files may contain data on witnesses, victims as well as contacts and associates of the offender.
Personal data
Any personal data retrieved from Europol may only be used by the competent authorities of Member States for the purpose of preventing and combating crimes. Europol may only use personal data to carry out its tasks. A Member State or third country or body may lay down further restrictions to the use of certain types of data it has communicated.
Europol may only hold data in data files for as long as is necessary for the performance of its tasks. Three years after input at the latest, the necessity for storing the data is reviewed. A data protection officer will ensure that personal data is processed lawfully.
Any person has the right to request a check of or access to personal data concerning him/her. In case the data is incorrect, the data subject has the right to request that it be corrected or deleted.
A national supervisory body in each Member State monitors that the input, retrieval and communication of personal data by its Member State is lawful. The joint supervisory body ensures the lawfulness of the storage, processing, use and transmission of personal data by Europol.
Relations with partners
Europol may cooperate with other European Union (EU) or Community institutions, bodies, offices and agencies when carrying out its tasks, in particular with Eurojust, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), the European External Borders Agency (Frontex), the European Police College (CEPOL), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).
As determined by the Council, Europol may also cooperate with third countries and organisations, including the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol).
The management board is the decision-making body of Europol. It consists of one representative from each Member State and one representative from the Commission, with each member having one vote. The director, who is the legal representative of Europol, is in charge of the organisation's daily management. S/he is appointed by the Council for a period of four years, extendable once.
Europol is financed from the general budget of the EU.
Europol was originally established on the basis of the Europol Convention of 1995. In order to simplify the administration of Europol and to reform it when necessary, a proposal was adopted in 2006 to replace the convention by this decision.
Entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Official Journal
Decision 2009/371/JHA
1.1.2010 (4.6.2009 for the second subparagraph of Article 57(2) and Articles 59, 60 and 61)
OJ L 121 of 15.5.2009
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Training (Europol) and repealing Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2005/681/JHA. [ COM(2013)173 final of 27.3.2013].
The proposal seeks to bring Europol's legal framework in line with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union whereby the co-legislators establish procedures for the scrutiny of Europol's activities by the European Parliament, together with national Parliaments and, in so doing, enhance the agency's effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
The proposal aims to:
- strengthen Europol's role as EU hub for the exchange of criminal information and to boost the agency's analytical capability: the proposal strengthens and clarifies the obligations for Member States to supply data to Europol, and introduces a one-month deadline for Member States to react to a request, by Europol, to initiate a criminal investigation. In addition, a new concept for data management, without pre-defined data bases and systems is geared towards allowing Europol to better identify links between sets of data, thereby building a more accurate picture of criminal realities and trends;
- ensure a comprehensive, tailor-made and extremely robust data protection regime. The proposal seeks to further reinforce Europol's data protection by including all applicable rules within the proposal; introducing additional safeguards and assigning the role of external supervisor to the European Data Protection Supervisor (instead of the current Joint Supervisory Body (JSB)), in cooperation with national supervisory authorities;
- change the framework of Europol's relations with partners and, in particular, the circumstances under which Europol can transfer personal data to Union Bodies and third countries. Europol will no longer be able to conclude international agreements with third countries and will, instead, have to rely on a Commission adequacy decision or an EU international agreement in order to be able to send personal data to a law enforcement authority;
- improve Europol's governance arrangements in line with the content of the Common Approach on decentralized agencies endorsed by the Commission, Parliament and the Council in July 2012;
- achieve synergies and efficiency gains by merging Europol and the European Police College (Cepol) and entrusting Europol with the new task of training, through the creation of a new department called Europol Academy.

Brett Easton Ellis: "I Kind Of Agree With Paris Hilton" About Grindr Gays
American Psycho scribe Brett Easton Ellis took to Twitter this weekend to voice his support for Paris Hilton's comments about gay men who use Grindr being "disgusting" and that "most of them probably have AIDS."
"I kind of agree with Paris Hilton," the onetime literary wunderkind tweeted Saturday night.
Last week, RadarOnline.com reported the whorish heiress was taped discussing Grindr with a gay friend in the back of a cab: "Eww, gay guys are the horniest people in the world…they're disgusting," she opined. "Dude, most of them probably have AIDS…I would be so scared if I was a gay guy…you'll like, die of AIDS."
Just last month, Ellis got in hot water on Twitter by suggesting audiences wouldn't buy Matt Bomer as Christian, the male lead in 50 Shades of Grey. now that the White Collar star has come out as gay.
Just to make sure his 343,000+ followers didn't miss this most recent pearl of wisdom, Ellis, 48, later tweeted Sunday morning, "As someone who has used Grindr? Paris Hilton isn't that far off."
A quick skim of Ellis' other tweets this week see him repeatedly slamming the late writer David Foster Wallace as untalented, and waxing cute about a 26-year-old who was apparently dragging him off to bed.
Well, we have to agree with Ellis about one particular Grindr gay being "disgusting": Him.
Could someone let me know what "Grindr" is? I don't really understand.
And was he agreeing to the whole AIDS and gay guys thing or just specifically to the people on Grindr?
Suddenly I just realized it really doesn't matter.
Ellis, 48, later tweeted Sunday morning, "As someone who has used Grindr? Paris Hilton isn't that far off.""
So just so I'm clear, did Ellis just come out as being HIV Positive?
@Ragmatical: Grindr is an app that people get for their phones or devices like an ipod/itouch.
Using Grindr gay guys meet other gay guys to chat, exchange photos, and potentially find friends, dates or sex.
It's competition is Scruff and Mister.
Paris Hilton may be idiots but there is some truth here.
I see myself many guys on the hook up apps and also Craiglist and Adam for Adam putting out offers for condomless sex.
HIV rates are still high and a LOT of gay porn has given up on condoms in porn and I think that has a subconscious influence on the sex habits of gay men – especially young gay men who do not get LGBT inclusive sex ed in schools.
Does this mean all gay men have unsafe sex or are promiscuous or have HIV? NO. But let's not pretend that many do.
Forget Paris Hilton. Where's the outrage over the glorifiers and profiteers of condomless sex?
What is it with these snarky nasty gay guys who think they speak for all other gay people? Just because you're a horrible person doesn't mean that all gay guys are.
@jeff4justice…way to perpetuate the notion that gays are the "other". Condomless sex is not just a problem in the gay community…"Teen Mom" has relevance to MTV viewership for a reason. Ever read the classifieds on Craigslist for m4f or f4m? Just as reckless and or raunchy. Where's the outrage over the fact that all of what Hilton and Ellis cite as endemic to the gay community are also endemic to the straight community as well? Get off of your high horse and stop excusing people for painting us in different colors as them.
@Michael: Except HIV prevalence among gay men in the US is way, way, way higher than among straights. So no. Two straight teens having unprotected sex out in an Indiana farm (or wherever it is they find the teen moms of Teen Mom) is not as "reckless and raunchy" as two gay men who met on Grindr barebacking. Seems like at this stage in the game, people would know that already.
Headline: Faded Gay Hag Kinda Agrees with Faded Straight Hag.
Sounds like this guy Ellis is not comfortable with his own sexuality. I'm sure that has a lot to do with his religious beliefs. These gay men are the ones that feed into the homophobic atmosphere. They can't come to terms with their own sexuality so they take it out on the gay community. Then they spoon feed their homophobic rants to ignorant people like Paris Hilton. I would like to know if Paris Hiltons Gay friend is still friends with her or if he set her straight on the facts, otherwise he is just as bad as Ellis and Hilton and should be ashamed of himself.
It is such a shame that such pathetic people say stupid things and then the media makes them represent a community. Ellis, in his self-loathing and community bashing, joins lots of others like Kramer, Signorelli, Savage, Drudge, Sullivan and not a few contributors here, in making assumptions and judgements about what they see on craigs, grindr or wherever, that because they SEE raunchy ads that that means dangerous sex is happening. It may, it probably does, but our comunity is certaily not to be singled out. It is so counter productive, biased and hate provoking to paint everyone with this hot button assumption. It is also ignoring that a basic, if not the most basic tenet of a human society and a democracy is the freedom of adults to control their lives and to make decisions for themselves. Further, these aforementioned people are also mostly against free and frequent sex, communing physically with lots of others, which they call promiscuous or non-monogamous sex, but which is something that is the natural way of sex, how sex was practiced for most of human history and the one greatest element of liberation that the gay community could contribute to our uptight society, that we could bring to topple the hateful and hypocritical religious denigration of sexuality –instead we have sold out to assimilate. It is hilarious this week as the religionists reel with the concept that their Jesus might have been married –was not too pure for sex! It is painfully evident that many prudes, biased and brainwashed are also sadly gay! The ones with the greatest stds are not those with AIDS or other afflictions, but those with small, vindictive and closed minds who are disrespectful of others and can't see the greater horizon that sex offers for their own petty property, paternity, and public mind control, not to mention a good dose of ignorance, fear and plain out jealousy. Obviously to be gay is not necessarily to be free, liberal, progressive, sensitive, respectful, imaginative, understanding or even intelligent.
@ChiChi Man: She's bisexual….Oh yeah, and so is he :)
And what did he take out of his mouth before he said this?
I feel as if I'm asking to get flamed here, but I'm not trying to stir anything up or singling anyone out. Really. However, I have wondered for years if I'm the only one who finds it astounding that gay men still use feminine pronouns ("she," "her," and so on) to describe other gay men whom they wish to degrade. I'm not someone who would describe himself as a feminist per se, but have we really become so blind to misogyny and sexism that we don't recognize it? As a group maligned, in essence, because of sexism and misogny (i.e. there's nothing worse than a "man who acts like a woman" with other men), it's bizarre that we'd still be perpetuating it among ourselves.
Send him back to Iran!…..lol!
Send him back to Iran!…..lol! Opps! Wrong Hag….
Can we send him with Mahmoud back to Iran
as a parting gift??…..
I guess this stuff is way over my head since I am an old married lady. I lived through the AIDS crisis in S.F. during the 80s. So love with no glove is alien to me. How soon they forget…..OH YES !!! I remember now. !!! We were young, and immortal… NOT !!! I am sure that you know this but really don't want to. People in Africa who have HIV. think that if they have sex with a child who is clean. They too shall become clean. I ain't making this stuff up!!! Check it out bitches!!! Also there are some genotypes of HIV that DO NOT respond to treatment. The voice of age and science. Be afraid,be very afraid !!! You M.F.s have already rained on my parade… Now it is my turn. SORRY !
@Michael: My comment was based on the context of this post. You're comment appears to be in the context of excessive nitpicking and worrying that everything any LGBT person does must be some perfect reflection of the LGBT community or we're all doomed.
Are you going to lecture me about how not every gay person has online access or can even afford a smart phone with gay meet up apps?
"American Psycho", those two words tell you all your need
to know about Brett Easton Ellis (or insert any other 3-word
Ivy League name)
I guess his literature isn't bitter and angry enough. He's made a new career of incendiary statements about gay people and, subsequently, himself. Oh well, there are less damaged people to whom to pay attention.
As a promiscuous bi-male, who hasn't used GRINDER but have friends who have, I can't argue factually with much of Mr. Ellis' tweets on the subject. Safe to say that–as a group–gay males have much more sex with many more partners than the general population. If you find those facts uncomfortable, maybe that's your issue to explore. (That being said, I'm no fan of Mr. Ellis' art or life, & find Ms. Hilton a living, breathing indictment of Western Civilization!)

State employees injured by carnival trailer wreck
WESTMINSTER An East Calais woman was one of two state employees injured Tuesday afternoon when a box truck hauling a carnival cotton candy trailer jackknifed on Interstate 91 and hit their car.
Vermont State Police said Patricia Ethier, 44, was driving the state Department of Labor car and Aaron Lewis, 38, no address given, was her passenger. Both were taken to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. According to a state employee directory, both work for the Department of Labor in Montpelier.
A spokeswoman at the hospital said she could not confirm whether either was a patient there.
Police said both were wearing their seat belts.
Police said a box truck driven by Karl Blanton, of Lenoir, N.C., was southbound on Interstate 91 at about 1:45 p.m. when it left the road.
Both northbound and southbound traffic was reduced to one lane until the two state employees were freed from their vehicle, a Ford Fusion.
