November 28, 2012 —
The Damascus Board of Supervisors passed the township's 2013 budget at its meeting on November 19. Budgets in Pennsylvania must be passed by December 31. There will be no cuts in services or cuts in personnel in this budget, as happened last year.
The millage will remain the same as last year at 1.55 mills. The millage for road machinery is .40 and the fire tax millage is .20.
The total income of the budget is $1,117,254.06. The total expense is $1,053,206.42.
"We had no real changes from last year except that the state lowered what it gives us by about five or six percent," said Jeff Dexter, chairman of the supervisors. "We were able to shift some things around to make up for it."
Property taxes brought in $520,000; the machinery tax was $127,000; the fire tax brought in $64,000; an occupational tax was $5,000; a per capita tax was $10,300; and transfer tax was $30,000 with a grand total tax of $756,300. Other revenue comes from fees and the state and federal government.
There was no indication in the budget of expected income from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, since the county did not establish a threshold for Hurricane Sandy or any other event in 2013 that would trigger the inflow of federal money.
In other matters, the supervisors discussed and approved a measure that would allow one member to communicate by telephone conference if his absence at the supervisors' meeting was unavoidable. If the absent member is the chairman, the deputy chairman would run the meeting.
The supervisors agreed to a contract with Brian Kelly and Associates to perform a township audit for 2013.
Fifty-eight families were aided by the township pantry in October. Holiday meals will be provided for 25 families.

Haertig said she had always wanted to be able to volunteer in a disaster situation and Oklahoma was her chance.
It was a three-day weekend, and she had nothing to do.
She called her sister on Wednesday to make sure she was on board, and the planning began. Prather said shortly after the phone call her sister phoned again trying to back out, but Prather said, "I posted it on Facebook. It's set in stone."
She smiles about the Facebook post now. That one post changed the whole scope of her trip. There was an immediate response to the post, "What can I do to help" and "What do you need," from dozens of people.
The original plan was to take Haertig's two-door car, but soon the donations had outgrown the car so they borrowed a truck from their dad, and when the donations out-grew the truck, they borrowed a trailer to pull behind the truck, and finally they had enough room.
Both of the sisters' companies also donated money to the trip. Refugio County Farm Bureau donated $1,000 plus $100 towards gas, and Vantage Bank donated $500 plus $200 towards gas.
The sisters were set and left at about 2:30 on Friday afternoon. The first day, they drove 10 hours and stopped in Ardmore, Okla. for the night. On Saturday morning, they drove first to New Castle to drop off supplies before driving on to Moore.
Prather said the most shocking thing about Moore was the size.
"In our heads, it was the size of Woodsboro," she said.
In reality, Moore has a population of more than 50,000, and though only a portion of the town was effected, the effected part was hit hard. It has been reported that more than 2,400 homes were damaged by the storm.
Once in Moore, they turned off on a street in a neighborhood that was damaged and proceeded to look for a way to help. They had tried to find an organization with which to volunteer prior to the trip but had no luck.
So their plan was to park along a damaged street, get out and walk until they found someone needing help. Their plan worked.
It wasn't long before a woman wondered up to them looking for food. They gave the woman food and then asked how they could help her.
The woman was trying to go through the ruble of a house that was owned by a woman that helped raise her.
Haertig said only one wall of the home was left standing.
For hours they helped the lady move pieces of the house to the curb and search for belongings and mementos. They were able to find the deed to the house and a few other items that seemed special to her.
After that, they walked the neighborhood looking in awe at the destruction.
"It looked like someone had gone through with a bulldozer," Haertig said.
That night, they drove to Norman, Okla., to stay the night.
When they were leaving the hotel the next morning, they saw a man sitting in a lawn chair outside a hotel room. Himself, his three kids and his wife were living in that hotel room. He told them he had lost everything in the storm.
Feeling a pang in their heart for the man and his family, the sisters gave him some money from the $1,500 in donations they had received.
Good deed done, they returned to Moore for day two of helping.
They found another random neighborhood and went in to help.
"There was an old man with a cane looking for his fire box," Prater said.
The sister searched until they found the box, having to move a refrigerator at one point so they could keep searching.
After the fire box was found, they drove around the neighborhood looking for home owners to give the rest of the donation money to.
Prather said to some people they gave $50, and to others they gave more. If there was a sign that it was a family with children or an elderly person, they tended to give more.
"We wanted to help as many people as we could," she said.
Though she knows their donation wasn't life-changing, it was something for people who suddenly had nothing.
Sunday afternoon, they started the long drive back to Woodsboro.
"I am glad we went," Haertig said.
"I drove off thinking we didn't make dent, not even a small one, but we made a difference," Prather said.

Adoboli case reveals the City's human side
The thing that most struck me about the trading floor on which I spent a morning last week, was how like a newsroom it was. Sure, the watches were (much) more expensive and the shirts somewhat better tailored; there were fewer women and far more computer screens. But the similarities vastly outweighed the differences.
Here was a group of people assimilating and filtering information so as to sort the important from the inconsequential. It looked a lot like what journalists do.
At the morning meeting they even discussed what the main "stories" of the day were: the bank's views on particular stocks and sectors. They then set about the business of disseminating those stories (though, of course, they did this on the phone and in meetings rather than publishing them in newspapers or online).
But in truth, I think most white-collar professionals would see more that is familiar than alien on a bank trading floor. Indeed, there was even something of the production line about it: an ideas factory with analysts creating the product that the strategists packaged in broader contexts and which the sales people then flogged.
Why is this even worth mentioning? Everybody who works in finance already knows that a trading floor is much like any other office. But the fact remains that there is still a mystique and much misunderstanding about these nerve centres of the financial markets.
For many people, they conjure up images of traders in stripy jackets shouting into several phones at the same time; plenty imagine them stuffed full of criminals.
Some of those stereotypes will have been reinforced over the past two months as, thanks to the trial of Kweku Adoboli, the whole world got a glimpse of life on a trading desk.
But there is also, perhaps, the possibility some people's preconceived notions will have been overturned.
Last week, the rogue trader was found guilty of two counts of fraud (though cleared of four counts of false accounting) and sentenced to seven years in prison for the trades that inflicted a $2.3bn loss on the Swiss bank.
The formidable prosecution barrister Sasha Wass painted Adoboli as a reckless, greedy, conniving gambler.
But the body of evidence produced a more nuanced portrait. He was greedy but he was generous. He connived but he was also a solid friend and loving family member. He was reckless but he also displayed real trading talent (a high risk tolerance is a sought-after trait in the City).
He engaged in some pretty dodgy Star Wars-themed banter – but let he whose inbox is without sin cast the first stone.
The trial, in other words, showed that traders, far from being a monstrous breed apart, actually bear a remarkable resemblance to the rest of us.
That's not to say that everyone in Adoboli's position would have done what he did. He has been convicted of fraud and will serve jail time for it. But it is important to note that he – much like his antecedents Jérôme Kerviel and Nick Leeson – did not personally benefit from his crimes.
And while there will be those who point out that he would have been paid a bigger bonus if his reckless punts had paid off, it's equally hard to disagree strongly with Adoboli's belief that he probably wouldn't have lost his job, let alone been arrested, had that been the case.
It looks a lot like a penchant for gambling combined with a series of mistakes just spiralled out of control.
Not everyone would have done what he did; but how many of us can honestly say with cast-iron certainty that, in a similar situation, we definitely wouldn't have either?
The Adoboli trial will have confirmed many people's worst prejudices about the City. But, for the few that listened attentively enough, this was just an immensely sad, and very human, tale.

Star Trek Know Your Spock T-Shirt - Navy
The navy Star Trek t-shirt - Know Your Spock is the ultimate gift for Spock fans because it shows two sides of the character. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) is the Vulcan crew member on the Starship Enterprise, and his nasty side is represented here with a bearded face while his good side is clean shaven. The Star Trek TV show shirt, which warns you to know your Spock, sends the message that one of these things is not like the other, because one Spock is good and one is evil.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(112)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(119)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(116)
Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is quickly gaining pre-release notoriety as a center of controversy. First, there was the "No dedicated servers for PC users" flap (although, truth be told, that's more of an inside-gamer thing, not likely to be of interest to the larger culture), then the leaked video that showed that, for at least one level, you inhabit the body of someone taking part in a terroristic bloodbath in an airport. Today, there's a "viral" style promo video for Modern Warfare 2 that is, at best, in questionable taste.
The video was posted on YouTube over the weekend and stars a digitized version of Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels delivering a mock-PSA about "grenade spam." The ad ends with the phrase "random grenades are for p*ssies." It is followed with a credit message saying the PSA was brought to you by "Fight Against Grenade Spam." You can figure out why the fake organization's name is offensive for yourself.
Infinity Ward pulled the video, and community Manager Robert Bowling tweeted that the ad was "more of a social commentary joke of that stereotype than it was a fist-bump of acceptance to it." Right. So Infinity Ward says it was just mocking the people who hold homophobic views as opposed to actually being homophobic... except I've seen the video, and there's nothing in it to indicate this is the case.
Usually, I leave the soapbox to Adam Sessler, but this time, I'm going to weigh in by pointing out that I spent the weekend playing The Ballad of Gay Tony and was pleased and surprised by the positive relationship between Luis Lopez and Gay Tony, and the respect shown to the homosexual community as a whole in that game, so this Modern Warfare 2 thing is doubly disappointing in contrast -- shouldn't we be past this kind of casual, backyard slur in the game community? If not from the players, at least from the professionals? Judging from the discourse on public channels of the last COD, Infinity Ward should are the last people who should be encouraging slurs against gay people; there's enough of it without the company's tacit approval. Besides, isn't that a violation of their own Terms of Service?
Sessler and I have much the same views on this kind of thing; check it out:

Gender, economic gaps seen in school scoresBy Josh OGorman
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | February 07,2014BARRE Annual test results for students across the state show gender and financial gaps, as some schools prepare to undergo a new form of assessment.
Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe visited Barre City Elementary and Middle School on Thursday to unveil the latest and last test results from the New England Common Assessment Program, also known as NECAP.
Since 2005, Vermont students in grades 3 through 11 as well as students in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island have taken the annual test, which measures students skills across a number of subjects, including reading and writing. Test results are combined to give a measurement for each school, and for students across the state.
Overall, 71 percent of students scored proficient or better in reading, while 67 percent of students were considered proficient or better in math.
The NECAP results show a gap between students from different economic backgrounds, determined by students who receive free lunch versus those who do not. The disparity is striking, with students who receive free lunch scoring 14 points lower in reading, and 25 points lower in math.
When looking solely at gender, girls across the state scored 12 points higher in reading than boys, while the math scores were nearly equal. When combining gender and household income, the gap is even wider, with girls who do not receive free lunch scoring 36 points higher in reading than boys who receive free lunch. By that same measurement, girls scored 28 points higher in math than boys.
No matter where we look, we see this persistent challenge in getting students from low-income backgrounds to reach the same levels of achievement as students from higher-income backgrounds, Holcombe said. Overall, were not really closing that gap and its going to continue to be a challenge for educators as we move forward.
One way to close that gap is to provide universal pre-K education, Holcombe said. And while she declined to speculate on the gender gap, she did offer a warning of what this gap will mean for young men entering the workforce.
When we think about which jobs are disappearing the fastest, they are the well-paying jobs for people of low skills that, typically, boys used to take, Holcombe said.
Barre City elementary pupils are among students from 27 schools that did not take the NECAP in the fall. In the spring, they will take a new test, called the SBAC or Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium test, which will be used by 25 states across the country, as well as all of Vermont starting next year.
Other locations that will take the SBAC this spring include schools in Hartland, Proctor, Windsor and Woodstock.
Unlike the pencil-and-paper NECAP, the SBAC will be administered on computer. Recognizing that few schools have enough computers for every student to take the test at the same time, the Agency of Education has scheduled the test to be taken over the course of four months.
Barre City Elementary students have been taking practice SBAC tests, including sixth-grader Julian Lopez, 12.
The SBAC questions are a lot more detailed, Lopez, when asked to compare SBAC to NECAP. You have to take a lot more time. Its a little more challenging.

World-famous beaches, historic cities and fantastic cuisine can be enjoyed in the Algarve.
The Algarve region offers more than any one city can. Beautiful beaches, a rugged coastline, culture-filled city breaks, and much, much more. Choose your area wisely and you'll have the holiday of a lifetime.
Since the 1960s the central Algarve has been a resort-friendly destination, very popular during the summer months. But beyond the tourists fighting over sun-loungers, you'll find a culturally diverse region, with great food, superb wine and a welcoming populace. Discover Albufeira, whose fishing history is laid bare in the traditional taverns serving delectable oil-drizzled sardines. Or make your way to the lagoons of Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, before stopping at Sagres to see the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Head into wine country, to the north of Portimao and Lagoa, to sample some of the finest Portuguese wines. Each area has its own hidden delights that will make you come back time and again, so why not book your flights to the Algarve now?
As the gateway to the Algarve, and its capital, Faro is more than just an airport. Full of history, plenty of lively students, superb restaurants, and a beautiful old town, it deserves to be explored thoroughly. Take a trip to one of the beaches around the stunning Ria Formosa National Park, just on the doorstep. Further to the west, you will find the affluent Almancil – home to world-class golf resorts and luxury hotels. The Quinta do Logo is ideal for golf enthusiasts, boasting seven courses.
This ancient town was a small fishing village until the 60s, when the tourism boom hit the Algarve. Parts of it still retain this village charm, but it is now a bustling seaside getaway and probably the most popular in the region. The neon-lit bars and lively beaches of 'the strip' will entice those in the party spirit. While the old town, with its narrow cobbled lanes and charismatic taverns, is ideal for those who wish for a quieter time.
As one of the biggest private resorts in Europe, its purpose-built shores offer something for everyone. Sailing is a big pastime here, with the 1000-berth marina playing host to the rich and famous. Vilamoura also has some of the best golf in Portugal, with several championship-level courses for your pleasure, but be warned a few of them will ask for handicap certificates so plan ahead. Great bars and restaurants also add to this areas appeal.
The largest town on the western Algarve, Portimão is the place to go for shopping. With everything from monthly markets and flea markets to high-end shops and boutiques selling designer goods, you will find it here. There are also some wonderful golden beaches and superb fish restaurants to add to the attraction. In contrast to Portimão's abundance of shops, is the sleepy family holiday village of Carvoeiro. Beaches, bars and great restaurants populate the cliff front, alongside the stunning Vale D'Oliveiras Quinta Resort.
A wonderful town steeped in history and culture, dating back 4000 years. Lagos became the base for Henry the Navigator's Age of Discovery, during the 15th century. This can be seen in the cobbled streets and elegant medieval architecture that dots the town. As in any beachfront town, there are great beaches and spectacular views across rocky bluffs to the Atlantic. Lagos is great for surfing too, with beginner-sized waves and friendly instructors, this is the place to learn.
Tavira is an elegant town east of Faro, near the Spanish border. It had kept the traditional style and sleepy atmosphere of a bygone era until the Algarve's tourism boom. Described as the Algarve's most charming town, there are probably more churches than hotels. There is also a captivatingly slow pace in Tavira, and exploring its cobbled streets may take some time. Wander through the old churches, sip coffee at one of the wonderful plazas, and take a few moments to reflect. Stay at the nearby Praia Verde, a stylish design hotel to complete this relaxing trip.
The most south-westerly village in Europe, Sagres sits on a rugged coastline facing down the power of the Atlantic Ocean. Henry the Navigator built his famous school of navigation here in the 15th century for this very reason. Glorious beaches are protected by craggy cliffs, and surfers and kite-surfers flock to Sagres for its great surf opportunities. Overall, it is a quiet town with quaint cafes and bars offering delicious traditional Portuguese cuisine to its friendly citizens and visitors alike. Stay at the stunning Martinhal Beach Resort to get the most of a family holiday.
Hidden along the road to Sagres, head south and you'll find this secret gem. An unspoilt and beautiful village with a few bars and restaurants, the real draw is the stunning beach which is Blue Flag certified and perfect for swimming. It also has one of the best sunsets in the Algarve, and after the sun has gone down you have a beautiful array of stars above you. It is difficult to distinguish the fishing boats' lights from the stars as there is so little light pollution.

How not to report about vaccine safety issues, Toronto Star edition
I remember it well, because several of my readers forwarded it to me not long after it appeared on the website of the Toronto Star: An eye-catching headline proclaiming a "wonder drug's dark side," that "wonder drug" being Gardasil, one of two vaccines against the human papilloma virus (HPV) designed to prevent cervical cancer by preventing infection with the HPV virus. The story's caption blared:
Hundreds of thousands of teen girls in Canada have safely taken Gardasil, a vaccine shown to prevent HPV. But a Star investigation has found that since 2008 at least 60 Canadians have experienced debilitating illnesses after inoculation. Patients and parents say the incidents point to the importance of full disclosure of risks.
There was even a video that would have been right at home on a variety of antivaccine websites, such as Age of Autism, SafeMinds, or VaxTruth:
Indeed, the video above reminded me more than anything else, of a segment from the antivaccine "documentary" that functions as antivaccine propaganda, The Greater Good, which portrays as one of its vaccine "victims" Gabi Swank, a girl whose story is not unlike that of Kaitlyn Armstrong, the teen profiled by the Star. Both girls had a deterioration of their health that appears to have happened sometime after receiving Gardasil. Both attribute their health issues to Gardasil. Neither story was examined with even a modicum of skepticism or critical thinking. In fact, part of the reason I recognized immediately how bad the Star story was derives from my previous experience examining similar stories promoted by the particularly vociferous wing of the antivaccine movement that focuses on the perceived "evils" of Gardasil. That's something we expect from an antivaccine propaganda film like The Greater Good. We expect better from investigative journalists like David Bruser and Jesse McLean. We don't get it.
I had meant to blog about this incident because the Star story was such a horrendously bad story from a scientific perspective, but, blogging being what it is, other topics intruded and for some reason I never got back to this topic. Over the last 11 days, however, the criticism and inept responses kept percolating along, as you will see, involving a clueless editor who lashed out at critics, a public editor who just didn't "get it," and a newspaper that took far too long to admit that it had screwed up epically and only then after sliming its critics. Fortunately, an excellent analysis in the Los Angeles Times by Michael Hiltzik provided me with an "in" to do the post I had wanted to do before. How the Toronto Star wrote the story is an object lesson in how not to do a vaccine safety story, and how it responded to reasonable criticism was an even more pointed lesson in how not to deal with scientific critics.

Wis. prosecutors add unborn homicide count in fire
Prosecutors have charged a southwestern Wisconsin father with killing his unborn child in a fire he allegedly set to wipe out his family.
According to court documents, Armin Wand III and his brother, Jeremy Wand, set a fire in Armin Wand's Argyle home in September in hopes of killing Armin Wand's pregnant wife and their four children.
Armin Wand's three sons perished in the fire. His wife managed to rescue their 2-year-old daughter but suffered injuries that family members said killed her unborn child.
The brothers face a host of charges, including multiple homicide counts and arson. State Justice Department attorneys added a count of first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child against both of them on Nov. 15.
They're set to be arraigned Wednesday.

Penelope Cruz Shows Off Sexy Post-Baby Body At 'Counselor' Screening, Co-Star Dishes On 'Awkward' Sex Scene
Penelope Cruz killed it in a black lace dress at a special screening of "The Counselor" in London on Thursday. She gave birth to her second child, daughter Luna, in July.
The actress made headlines last month after she was photographed topless during a vacation in the French island of Corsica.
The Spanish star appeared unphased by the paparazzi as she removed her top to swim in the Mediterranean Sea with her husband Javier Bardem and their two-year-old son, Leo.
Her "Counselor" co-star Michael Fassbender recently told the BBC that he was uncomfortable shooting sex scenes with the Spanish siren because Bardem also starred in the film and was on set.
"Those scenes are always kind of awkward to be honest so it's not a threat to Javier, I'm sure he is very comfortable with his marriage," Fassbender explained.
The film centers on a lawyer who gets involved in the drug business, leading him into a life of betrayal, murder and mayhem. It hits theaters on Oct. 25.

Here are a couple of recipes I had laying around and thought I'd post up. These are not my recipes, I came across them a while back somewhere.
I personally consider 5% BA to be a bit much since BA is mainly for antibacterial purposes and I don't expect to store it longer than a cycle . I would go with no more than 2% BA maybe even 1% for shot term storage.
Primobolan Enanthate Conversion Recipes
50 Ml for 200mg/ml
10 grams Primobolan E Powder (7.5ml)
1ml BA (2%)
7.5ml BB (15%)
17ml Grapeseed Oil
17ml Ethyl Oleate
25ml for 200mg/ml
5 grams Methenolone enanthate (3.75ml)
16.25 ml Grapeseed Oil
1.25ml benzyl alcohol = 5%
3.75ml benzyl benzoate = 15%

Reefer Madness
There are home runs and then there are home runs. When a guy like Ryan Howard hits one off the sweet spot, chances are it's going to travel a longs ways. However, when someone like Scott Podsednik gets one out of the park, you assume that there must have been a strong gust of wind somewhere around the end of its ride.
Similarly, there are drugs and then there are drugs. Now I don't want to say that some drugs are all right because it's true that most have some sort of side effect. But even implying that PED's and a drug like marijuana have the same kind of effect on sports and the players or that they should be punished the same way is pretty ignorant.
That's why I'm curious about this Geovany Soto admission. I don't think it's any secret that a lot of professional athletes enjoy a little visit with Steve Green every now and again and it has become even more prevalent and less stigmatized among the younger generation. But, MLB under Bud Selig has often shown a tin ear when it comes to these sorts of things. Their response to Soto's test will show a lot about what direction they plan to head.
If it was up to me, I'd hand out the minimum. A slap on the wrist, some drug counseling or something along those lines. But you never know when and where reefer madness is going to strike and my guess is that they'll come down disproportionately hard on Soto after screwing the pooch with the PED debacle. Hopefully they'll see it my way but if it turns out that Soto is also growing a little on the side, maybe even mixed in with the ivy in the outfield, well, then all bets are off.

But Allen – people who have to live and work in the real world? They can get fired for testing positive for Pot.
If anything, the Cubs should be the ones to decide Geo's fate. I mean, have you seen his numbers this season? Clearly pot is not a PED.
Drug abuse is drug abuse. Julia is right he should still get max punishment.
Drug abuse is drug abuse. Julia is right he should still get max punishment.
Drug abuse is drug abuse. Julia is right he should still get max punishment.
I agree with you, Allen. But this comes down to simply me believing marijuana is less risky than alcohol. So that is a whole nuther topic 🙂
Marijuana is not a PED. But it is still wrong to use it and Geo should get the minimum punishment if anything.
The only real side effect of "drugs" has nothing to do with the munchies and everything to do with the disastrous unintended consequences of this futile "war on drugs" in the US. It seems that no one ever thinks about these things. How many lives have been lost to gangs & cartels who continue to be funded by through-the-roof profit margins…margins that would disappear if drugs were just made…*GASP*…legal?!? I'm not even going to get started on the laundry list of other unintended consequences…did we learn nothing from alcohol prohibition? Apparently not, since our Nanny-State is in the process of making tobacco illegal too…the drug cartels must be drooling over the prospect of black market tobacco profits!
Oh, and the Rangers won last night. :^)
I agree with Jonestein… and Joe… still, a Geo Soto punishment might help the Cubs more than anything… like Erin said, "have you seen his numbers this season?"
If he's been growing it in the ivy at Wrigley, we could be talking about a giant cartel!

May 1, 2013 —
BUSHVILLE, NY — Delaware Highlands Conservancy marked a milestone recently, having protected more than 14,000 acres of land since it was established. Here are the stories of two recent projects.
Mongaup River Forest
One of the things Susanne Hand will remember most about her father, Nathan Hand, is the family cabin and bungalow colony he built by hand on their property in Bushville. It was one of two prime Sullivan County properties inherited from her father and donated outright to the Delaware Highlands Conservancy in 2012 by Susanne and her sons, Rafe and Alex.
"I still marvel at how handy he was," says Susanne in reflecting on her father, who died in late 2012 at the age of 103. "He loved the country and was a great outdoorsman." A respected lawyer, Nathan moved to the Catskills in the late 1940s, married Frances Rosen in 1949 and built a small cabin and nine bungalows, opening "Hands' Bungalows: For Happy Summers and Lifelong Friendships" in Bushville.
The couple ran the bungalow colony from 1950 to '57. Born in 1950, Susanne remembers summer days at the colony as pleasant, simple times with lots of children around. After careful consideration of options for the future of the family land, Susanne contacted a local land trust advisor in New Jersey to discuss donating the properties. She was directed to Delaware Highlands Conservancy and the rest is history.
"We were glad to hear about Delaware Highlands Conservancy, and pleased to know that good conservation work is happening in that part of the world," said Susanne.
After completing a conservation easement, the conservancy will resell both properties and use the funds to support the organization's conservation work. Located on the Mongaup River in the Town of Thompson, next to Catskill Regional Medical Center, the properties provide scenic views from the highway and substantial wildlife habitat.
Mitchell Pond Brook
When conservancy founder Barbara Yeaman began talking about establishing a land trust in the Upper Delaware region 18 years ago, one of the first people to come knocking was Tom Raleigh. Nearly two decades later, Tom's beloved land i n Cochecton, NY, Mitchell Pond Brook, has been protected wit h a conservation easement and purchased by Helen Beichel, who likewise has fallen for the beautiful waterway that meanders along the 23-acre property near the Delaware River.
Tom had acquired the land in 1965 and lived there in a small cottage, enjoying the forest and the splashing music of the small creek that crosses in front of the cottage. He passed away in 2009 and never got to see his land protected, but laid the groundwork in his will. "Tom left the conservancy a generous bequest and left the land to his niece, Mimi Raleigh," explains Barbara. "Although the easement didn't come together during his lifetime, Tom talked with us for years and shared that desire with Mimi," who visited Tom and his woods often.
Mimi's love for the place grew over the years. "Ever since I was a child, I hoped one day the property would come to me," she says. When that happened, Mimi thought long and hard about the future of the land.
After careful consideration, she decided to fulfill more than his wishes by donating the property outright to the conservancy, which protected it first with a conservation easement before seeking a conservation-minded buyer.
Motivated to begin searching for an escape from the noise pollution of her New York City residence, Helen Beichel came across the property online and made plans to visit. She connected with Yeaman and camped at her property along the Delaware River before walking the Sullivan County land that would become hers in December 2012.
Right away, she began to connect with the place. "I really liked the way the cottage was tucked in; the creek was beautiful and there were small red salamanders everywhere," she says. "Later, I learned that the red-spotted newt is common, but is also a good indicator of healthy habitat."
Because the cottage has become structurally unsound, Helen is planning to replace it with "as passive a house as possible," with features such as passive solar and possibly straw bale construction.

BSC Technology Update
Bluefield State College has generated a report detailing the institution's progress and aspirations in the area of technology. The report notes Bluefield State College has developed technology on three fronts--computer services, instructional technology, and distance learning.
Computer Services--The BSC computer services function includes approximately 500 microcomputers, networked across three campuses. BSC also has 13 computer labs and 380 computers dedicated to student use.
Students receive training in utilizing the WorldWide Web and, upon request, students receive Internet accounts. Two student computer laboratories have Windows and WordPerfect for Windows. Lotus, dBase, and WordPerfect are available on our network, as is computer-assisted instructional software for various divisions.
Future Plans for Computer Services--BSC will be upgrading its campus computer network to install Category 5 wire in campus buildings to place Windows on desktop in new hard drive machines, the first group of which will be purchased this summer. BSC will also establish a new, upgraded computer network at the renovated facility into which its Greenbrier Community College Center will relocate by the Fall Semester, 1997. This facility will be a test site for changes to be made later on the Bluefield campus of BSC. The College is also exploring the possibility of leasing or purchasing 300 new PCs for College use, beginning this summer.
Instructional Technology--This service is provided from BSC's Instructional Technology Center, where the institution maintains computer laboratories (Macintosh and IBM) for student and faculty use, multimedia stations with laserdisc and CD-ROM (in both Macintosh and IBM), and audio-visual production facilities.
Bluefield State College conducts workshops, available for faculty and staff, on Windows, WordPerfect for Windows, IPSI, and PowerPoint. The College also presents WorldWide Web and Internet workshops for faculty, staff, and students.
Future Plans for Instructional Technology--BSC will offer more workshops to train students, faculty, and staff in the use of WorldWide Web and PowerPoint. It is also proceeding with plans to create an electronic teaching classroom in each of the institution's academic buildings, beginning with the Physical Education Building in 1997.
Distance Learning--BSC significantly augmented its distance learning capabilities with the opening of the June Oblinger Shott Center for Extended Learning during the 1996-97 academic year. We are currently running 17 interactive video system courses for students at our campuses in Bluefield, Lewisburg, and/or Beckley. This semester, BSC offers 12 instructional television courses through WSWP-TV and PBS. Bluefield State College has also originated three SATNET courses and have offered three additional courses for college credit.
Future Plans for Distance Learning--Plans for the immediate future call for conducting distance learning workshops to train faculty and professional staff in the design and delivery of distance learning courses. The institution's goal is to strengthen our distance learning infrastructure by installing a new interactive video classroom at its Beckley (Harper Industrial Park) campus. BSC will also upgrade our Greenbrier Community College Center electronic classroom to full production capability. BSC is awaiting news on the status of grants that seek funding assistance for installing electronic classrooms in Welch and in Pocahontas County.

The Shechinah Oracle
a Journey of the Divine Feminine
by Rabbi Rayzel Raphael
Shechinah is the name of the Divine Feminine in the Jewish
wisdom tradition. Rabbi Rayzel Raphael has researched and crafted a deck of Shechinah Oracle Cards based on the ancient teachings in Bible, Talmud and Zohar. The Shechinah Oracle is a deck of divination. Used similarly to a Tarot deck, the images on the cards are a wonderful tool to unlock the inner world of the psyche. The pictures on the cards were inspired by ancient Jewish texts about the Shechinah, the feminine Divine presence.
Rabbi Rayzel will lead us in a song-filled morning with meditation and the legends of Shechinah, the Feminine Divine

Departments Collaborate on Publication
A recent research and teaching collaboration among students, alumni, and faculty from the College's Biology Department, School of Arts and Sciences, and the Wegmans School of Pharmacy has led to an article being accepted for publication in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education.
Tia Lum, a Pharm.D. candidate graduating this May, was mentored by Dr. Jill Lavigne, and Amber Barnello '12, a recently Biology graduate was mentored by Dr. Kristin Picardo. Dr. Theresa Westbay and Lynn Fine, Ph.D., MPH, a University of Rochester collaborator also worked on the project.
The article, "Self-screening for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization as a component of hand hygiene education," will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal.
Barnello's primary role was to execute the bench research and analyze data, while Lum took the lead on writing the paper.

Local High School Students Spend a Day Discovering at Fisher
On Monday, August 12, St. John Fisher College and the Buffalo Bills hosted "Discover at Fisher" day for 50 local high school students from the East Rochester School District, the "Safe to be Smart" program, and the Rochester City School District's "Horizons" summer camp program. The students spent the day on campus discovering a variety of career options and more – all in an effort to encourage them to keep literacy a priority in their lives.
After a welcome from President Donald Bain and his wife, Meg, the students participated in seven interactive sessions with Fisher faculty, staff, and students, as well as Buffalo Bills staff. Sessions were designed to encourage the students to celebrate literacy, while also giving them a chance to experience the feel of a college campus.
Jennifer Granger from Fisher's Athletic Department co-presented "Discover Nutrition" with local fitness coach Wanda Miller and Lackmann Culinary Services' Executive Chef, Joel Kraft. They shared interesting facts about healthy eating habits for both athletes and non-athletes, and led the students through an exercise. Students also sampled healthy snacks, and even learned how to make them, leaving with a recipe book.
Cecil Felton, Media Center Coordinator and Cardinal TV Advisor at Fisher, presented the "Discover TV Production" session in the campus TV studio. Students learned about different career paths they could take in the communication field, and had a chance to shoot video and use the Fisher News TV set.
Dr. Fang Zhao, Associate Professor in the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, presented "Discover Healthy Habits." Working in Fisher's state-of-the-art pharmacy laboratory, students learned how to make their own sunscreen.
Andy Major, Buffalo Bills' Vice President, Event Operations and Guest Experience, presented "Discover Careers in Sports: Chalk Talk," where he talked about all of the career opportunities that exist with sports teams – for both minor and major leagues.
Education students Kelsey Murphy, Stephanie Sweeney, and Tracey Bayer led the "Discover through Reading" session. The students learned how to use Google Earth to research authors and books, and also had a chance to choose a book to bring home.
Teresa Brache, CCRN, Director of the Learning Resource Lab, Wegmans School of Nursing, hosted the "Discover Nursing" session in one of the School of Nursing's cutting-edge simulation labs. There, students had an opportunity to learn CPR, how to take blood pressure, and work with the interactive simulation robots, putting them in a real-life emergency room scenario.
In addition, Yantee Slobert, Director of Fisher's Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs, shared his story with the students and gave an overview of the diversity programs offered at the College.
Students also participated in a calisthenics session lead by some of Fisher's top athletes. At the end of the day, they were treated as VIPs at the Buffalo Bills' Community Relations tent, where they took in the afternoon practice. This was the sixth year for the event.

"Each year the Crops Committee plans and coordinates this event to highlight agricultural production and provide timely information to the growers and agri-businesses in the area," said Michael Donalson, extension agent for Refugio County. "The production, storage, and marketing of agricultural commodities plays an enormous role in the local economy, and the crop tour provides the culture in which producers and consumers can come together to share this heritage."
Educational programs will be presented by Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Department of Agriculture, USDA Farm Service Agency, USDA Natural Resource and Conservation Service and the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Program.
The morning program kicks off at 7 a.m. with registration and breakfast at Canales Café in Tivoli.
The afternoon program gets underway at 4 p.m. with registration at the Bonnie View Park and concludes with a barbecue dinner and social following a tour of the test plots.
The Crop Tour Programs will provide continuing education units towards re-certification of pesticide applicator licenses. Three CEU's will be offered for each tour.
There is a $10 "suggested" registration fee for CEU's to offset program costs and assist with partial cost recovery program.
The Refugio County Crops Committee, with the financial support of numerous sponsors, will host both the breakfast and the barbecue meal.
"The public is invited to join in the fellowship and education scheduled for this year's crop tour," Donalson said.

Bathory - Octagon
BATHORY " Octagon" BMLP 666-11 RE-MASTERED!!!
From the thrashing opening track to the KISS cover, this album is merciless.
The 9 tracks nonetheless ranges from powerful heaviness to breakneck speed. A trip into the mind of the serial killer or a view of this time and place like youve never seen it before,
Octagon offers an odd and still much debated side of the pioneers and masters, BATHORY!!!

Also, breast size is not an indicator of production ability. It *can* be an indicator of how much milk you can store, but that's not always the case. Mom's with a smaller storage capacity tend to need to feed their babies more often, because they won't get quite as much milk as they would if mom had a larger storage capacity. The more often the breast is emptied, the more milk it makes (so, as a small-chested momma you could easily produce more milk in a 24 hour period than a large chested momma!).
Regardless, breastmilk is so easily digested that babies tummies empty pretty quickly. That's why BF babies eat more often than FF babies. Formula takes longer to digest, thus keeping them "full" for longer. The more often baby's tummy is empty, the more often he eats. The more often the breast is drained, the more milk is produced. Thus, mother's supply is determined by the baby's demand.

What's spinning, January 9 editionTuesday, January 9th, 2007
Seems like I'm working on a bunch of new music right now; my listening is spread thin and on all this stuff I just have some quick first impressions:
- Aghora - Formless: I liked their self-titled debut, and this one seems like more of the same, maybe a little more polished. All the songs kind of fly by in a haze, but hopefully they'll become more distinctive with closer listening.
- Bassdrumbone - The Line Up: These guys are coming to Baltimore next month, so I downloaded their latest album from eMusic. I think I'm going to really like this one. Avant-jazz that really swings.
- Blops - Blops (3CD box set): Folksy Chilean group from the early 70s; their folk stuff is solid but it's the third album that really makes an impression, when they started doing a kind of jazzy psych-rock fusion.
- Cardboard Amanda - Cardboard Amanda: I'm having a hard time getting around the vocals, which I currently find intensely annoying. Need to work on this one.
- Elliott Brood - Ambassador: More "death country"; I like pretty much everything I've heard from this little subgenre and this is no exception.
- Loreena McKennitt - An Ancient Muse: It's been nearly a decade since her last studio album, but believe it or not, this one sounds almost exactly like the last three. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
- Steve Swell's Nation of We - Live at the Bowery Poetry Club: I love Swell's work as a sideman (with Tim Berne's Caos Totale band, on El-P's High Water, etc), but have never heard him as a leader. This big-band effort seems like a pretty good start; one of Ayler Records' download-only releases.
- Uzva - Uoma: None of this band's albums ever really grab me at first listen. I like this one well enough, especially "Arabian Ran-Ta," but it's yet to completely suck me in.
- Jack Wright & Bob Marsh - Birds in the Hand: Got this free-improv album a while ago as a promo, but never actually noticed it til now. I saw Wright live last year in one of the most head-spinningly avant-garde shows I've ever seen. This CD is a little more accessible; mostly quiet, contemplative improvs involving sax, cello and voice.
- Yügen - Labirinto d'Acqua: Twitchy avant-prog that lots of RIO types are really loving. It takes me a while to get my head around this kind of thing. I'm pretty sure that when all is said and done, I'll like this one, but not love it.

Las Vegas is one of the crown jewels of the U.S. tourism industry. Its glitz, glamour and attractions, coupled with an unrelenting invitation to go for the jackpot, stay out late and live extravagantly, make it an international tourist destination. But as with most cities that host major tourist attractions, the polished facade hides a world of crime, drug addiction and other social ills. There's a reason why it has earned the moniker Sin City.
There is no certain way to eliminate crime from society, but Nevada officials are hoping to at least remove a few offenders from the cycle of crime and incarceration that has helped fuel a nearly 70 percent recidivism rate among the state's prisoners.
About three miles away from the famous Las Vegas Strip — a four-mile stretch of casinos and other attractions popular with tourists — a new nondescript building in an industrial part of town is attracting a different crowd.

"The Casa Grande concept is a very highly structured emergence back into society with gradual increases in freedom to residents," says Rich Worthington, president of Molasky Group, the firm that developed the facility.
Attack of the NIMBYs
When the study was conducted, the state was processing about 4,000 inmates both in and out of its facilities annually. Offenders that finished their sentences were given $25 and released with their prison clothes.
"The study pointed out through numerous testimonies that we were lacking in programs and more importantly, transitional services," Crawford says. "We knew that, but we felt like it needed to be documented."
Furniture was supplied by Nevada Department of Corrections prison industries.
"We were basically thrown out of each of the cities," Worthington says. "Nobody really wanted this project in their backyard."
An appropriate location was eventually found in unincorporated Clark County, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. The industrial area is home to several companies that could benefit from the DOC's goal to find employment for offenders in transition. Manufacturers, laundry services, a service station and several companies that provide services for businesses on the Strip are all located in the area.
Although, this is the first correctional facility project Molasky has been involved with, Crawford credits the company's experience and community ties with successfully landing the site.
A kitchen at the facility provides meals for up to 400 inmates.
Working on a Solution
Despite all the potential pitfalls that Las Vegas has to offer an offender on the road to rehabilitation, it has at least one benefit — lots of entry-level jobs.
"One of the challenges that we have in Vegas, because we have such a dynamic economy — gaming makes about $9 billion and conventions bring in about $6 billion — we are almost at full employment here," Worthington says. "It is very difficult to find a good supply of disciplined entry-level workers that are willing to work at just above minimum wage. Casa Grande is very appealing to a lot of employers that are trying to find help that is in the lower salary price range."
The program is straightforward: Only inmates without a history of sex offenses who have not been charged with a violent crime within the last five years need apply. Offenders who are accepted to the program arrive at the facility about three months before their sentence is complete. They must find employment and once they have a job they have a two-hour time limit to return to the facility before they are considered escapees.

Which is good thing, according to Howard Skolnik, deputy director of prison industries, since the facility is being partially funded by daily payments of $17 from each offender. Worthington says the payment system saves the state about $3 million annually.
The method is financially beneficial for the state, according to Skolnik, but it sometimes means that offenders get a little too much freedom before they are ready for it.
"We push them out to get jobs, so they can pay rent, perhaps faster than we should," Skolnik says.
With all the lures back into a criminal lifestyle that Vegas has to offer — the party atmosphere, gambling, vulnerable tourists, drugs — wouldn't that make offenders more likely to fail? Not necessarily, according to Skolnik.
"The primary problems that we have with our offenders are drugs and alcohol and that is found in almost every community within the United States," Skolnik says. "We have guys that are working in those casinos and they're doing great. I think either you want to succeed and therefore when the temptation goes by you ignore it, or you don't get it, in which case you are going to go back to prison."
The Payoff
Although it will take several years for a comprehensive study to be completed on Casa Grande's effect on Nevada's recidivism rate, so far, the facility's results look promising. During the first six months of operation, about 400 inmates were housed at the facility and 225 inmates completed the program successfully. Twenty-eight inmates walked out of the facility, but 26 were recaptured. There were about 100 inmates who were returned to prison because they could not secure employment or they failed a drug test.
Facility Name: Casa Grande Transitional Housing Facility
Type: two-story dorms, single-story administration building; concrete tilt-up with steel, structure and single-ply roof
Construction Budget: $11.6 million
Number of Beds: 400
Area: 79,540 square feet
Start Date: Dec. 8, 2005
Completion Date: Dec. 19, 2006
Crawford, the former Nevada DOC director, says she thinks that Casa Grande can serve as a bellwether for re-entry centers, which in the past have typically been designed on a much smaller scale.
"This is the largest, but I think we may have set a trend for people to be bold in their planning," Crawford says.
And, those large facilities could be the product of the Molasky Group.
"We've very proud of this and we hope to bring it to other states," Worthington says. "We are currently looking at California and other western states."

From tuition hikes, to secret research the issues that have drawn passionate public testimony before the regents over the years have run the gamut.
"This is going to cost our family $40,000," said one testifer in a previous meeting about tuition.
"You never even listened," another told board members during a another hearing about a research contract with the military.
But those voices could get muted under a recommendation buried in report presented before the regents Thursday.
"Everything is not perfect," said Lawrence Rodriguez, a volunteer with a task group charged with reviewing board policies and practices.
He told members that generally, UH is in step with other universities although he did cite governance issues and a need to establish a whistleblowers program.
But a short section in the draft report includes a recommendation to boost efficiency that some find alarming.
It notes: "Establish a prescribed total amount of time for public input."
Public interest watchdog groups are wary of a suggestion made in the interest of efficiency, not the public good.
"It is the people's university. We pay for it with our tax dollars. It the public is entitled to be very much of decision-making," said Chris Connybeare, of the Hawaii Media Council.
J. N. Musto, the head of university's faculty union is a regular at board meetings. He said any such move would essentially limit public input on a first-come first served basis.
Connybear agrees.
"First come, first served, so that means the people who are on top of this and who are may be a lobbyist or who have a professional interest will be the ones who get their names on the agenda and how does the average person know when these things happen?" said Connybeare.
University spokeswoman Lynne Waters said the recommendation would only limit testimony at full board meetings. She said the report also suggests more committee meetings which would allow for unlimited public comment.
But at Thursday's three committee meetings, no one signed up to testify.
The big question is whether the Board of Regents will act on the recommendation. Some critics of the board suspect the move may be a way to silence them, and they plan to show up at next week's board meeting.
