There are thousands of self-help books, which is weird, because if their audience were capable of book learning, they wouldn't be trying to empowerify their lifestyles with the power of wishing really hard. Or using words like "empowerify." If an author's only marketable skill is talking positively to people even dumber than them, they shouldn't be your life coach unless you're a head-trauma nurse or running for election. The Crystal Experience should only empower you if you're trying to destroy the Enterprise.
When your problem-solving strategy is "shiny rocks," you're either a horny magpie or doomed.
They need the opposite of books, something that doesn't require people to make an effort or even be capable of independent thought. And lo, YouTube was born. Unfortunately, it took the "opposite of book" concept way too far by allowing those people to transmit as well as receive, and now it lowers the average intelligence of users instead of increasing it. The longer people spend there, the more they need help, and the comments section proves that anything up to and including flamethrowers can only make things better. Which is why I've selected four music videos with important lessons for the modern YouTube user.
4Be Confident
If you're putting something online, you'd better be ludicrously confident or unable to read. And the latter won't work, because YouTube commenter hatred transcends literacy. If we could bottle it, it would be powerful enough to dissolve the waste around Chernobyl, or at least make it look good by comparison. Some say that complete anonymity and immunity from physical violence turns everyone into assholes, but that's not true. It's having nothing better to do than being completely anonymous where no one can touch you that turns people who are already assholes into festering super-assholes. The only way to counter them is being immune to mockery, and one man has been swinging his hips right through criticism for 40 years.
Tom Jones is tanned confidence incarnate, and that's as in leather, not as in sunshine. When most music videos want to establish the singer as sexy, they fill a yacht with oiled models and pay them to remain smiling when he's nearby. When Tom Jones was told they needed to film a video about incredible sexiness, he said, "I'm already here. Start recording."
Tom Jones, Sony Music
And that background is nowhere near the whitest thing about his dancing.
That is his entire contribution to the video for "Sex Bomb," and it's not an ironic title. He knows that sex means sextuagenarian, crotch, his, stare at it, baby. The producers forced him to include some actual ladies, and he said, "OK, but keep them away from me so nobody gets distracted." In Tom's world, showing off willing women is like expecting compliments for wearing laundered clothes -- childish, unnecessary and revealing serious lacks in your lifestyle. In his life, sexy co-fun-havers are more easily available than tap water, because he doesn't have to go to the kitchen to get some.
Tom Jones, Sony Music
No, girls, YOU come over HERE because I'M TOM JONES.
The power of Jones' absolute immunity to mockery is demonstrated by the story of his chest hair insurance. Newspapers made fun of him for insanely insuring his hirsute pecs for $7 million, but when you find out what really happened, it reverses the polarity of that mockery. An insurance agent simply said that an anonymous person had requested a seven-figure chest hair policy, and the entire world said, "Someone's chest hair is worth $7 million? Obviously that's Tom Jones!" That's not mockery, that's a global award of manliness. And when the people mocking you are idiots only proving how wrong and jealous they are, you now know how to deal with YouTube commenters.
3Stop Wasting Time
Back in the Cathode Age, shows could hold us hostage for an hour and a half of stupid talking heads with 10 tit-seconds and one good explosion. Now we can watch clips the world's best both simultaneously.
Twin pinnacles of information technology
Which makes it stupid that some YouTubers are resurrecting this habit of waste. Ten-minute videos made of nine minutes of their face and one minute of what the title promised.
Source (who does actually use YouTube for Awesome)
At no point does this man explode
This is especially terrible when a quick Facebook link leads to the 4 a.m. realization that you've spent another irreplaceable day learning that while kittens fall over more hilariously than people, skateboarding concretovores are still the trump card of naturally selected comedy. Again. This video is the antidote, proving that every three minutes and 28 seconds of your life is precious.
That video introduces 19 different continuities before a movie would get to the title.
And they all kick ass
There are over 200,000 possible combinations, and it manages most of them in about 200 seconds.
When this happens it will make perfect sense, meaning this video may be the first electronic hallucinogen
It's also the only video on YouTube to differentiate people based on color that isn't made by hateful retards. Kousuke put more work into those three minutes than most webcam whiners put into their entire lives. Hell, there's more intelligence and planning in that video than in most countries. So the next time someone feels the need to explain what his video is about when you already read it -- that's why you clicked on the asshole -- refuse to let these chronomuggers steal your life force and click away.

Name: Stuart Ingle
Age: 60
Occupation: Farmer and rancher
Office: Senate District 27
Party affiliation: Republican
Elected offices held: Current District 27 Senator and Senate Minority Leader.
What type of economic development suits eastern New Mexico, and how could you as a legislator facilitate it?
Economic development for eastern New Mexico should:
A. Be able to train and hire local residents.
B. (Be) An industry or business that has secure financial history and will be here for many years — not many months.
C. Be an industry willing to spend some of its own dollars for site development. Our city and county government cannot pay for everything.
D. The New Mexico Legislature can help with training dollars, some road improvement and infrastructure.
E. Our city and county officials have done a great job with economic development.
How familiar are you with the Ute Water Project? What can the state Legislature do to move the project along?
The New Mexico Legislature has been very supporting of the Ute Water Project, $12.4 million (appropriated) since 2002 and only $3 million has been spent. (Water Trust Board projects 18, 40, 56, 84 and 108; Capital outlay projects 06-1161, 07-3237 and 08-3074).
What do you propose doing to help New Mexico schools? Is the current funding formula working?
New Mexico will be successful if parents support the teachers and if our local boards decide policy.
The current funding formula has been patched so much there are too many bits and pieces. The new formula is good. The Legislature must be sure we have the money ready to pay for the new funding formula.
Gov. Richardson has been pretty adamant about a health care plan, and has gone so far as to threaten a special session. How can health care be improved in the state?
Health care is a problem in all states. We have many programs available in the state. (The Clovis News Journal) advertised one about two weeks ago. We have to find the additional dollars before we have a special session to cover health care.
Regarding state infrastructure, what areas need the most improvement or repairs, and how can the state pay for such needs?
State infrastructure will always need more dollars. We in New Mexico are huge in area and small in population. New Mexico's roads need about $500 million in construction and repair. We have a project between Albuquerque and Santa Fe using this $500 million.
What is something you felt the Legislature has not adequately handled, and how would you approach it?
The Legislature needs to make sure state agencies do not make regulations that make little common sense or are difficult for New Mexico business.

Okay, I'm kidding. I'm not sure Esposo would be okay with me running away to marry one of the world's most talented makeup artists. He doesn't understand my love for all things Laura Mercier. I have yet to try a product that I didn't like. Everything that has graced my skin has been sheer…love. I received the Secret Camouflage ($34) and Tinted Moisturizer ($43) for review and they have permament residency in my Beauty Headquarters. AKA the bathroom.
I won't ramble too much about these in this post since I've done a video, but these products are fantastic. The Secret Camouflage has an oil-free formula that plays nicely even in this very hot weather.
While I think the shade I got is too dark (I have SC-7), it really does blend nicely to conceal any dark spots and the lighter shade works well under my eyes. However, I think for better coverage under the eyes, I should been aiming for the next shade down. This is okay because there are 8 shades to pick from. Because remember, Laura Mercier likes to put out shades for various skintones. And then there's the tinted moisturizer…
I feel like I've used this before (maybe in a former life) but wow wow. I am a lover of light coverage and this tinted moisturizer gives me that plus SPF 20. Pop on over to the video to get an idea of how I use these products and how nicely they work on my skin.
Have you tried anything from Laura Mercier? Any favorites?

A man in the United Kingdom said he didn't suspect that some of his recent stomach problems were the result of a plastic fork he swallowed 10 years ago, but doctors confirmed it.
The BBC reported that 40-year-old Lee Gardner, of Cudworth, Barnsley, was taken this week to a South Yorkshire hospital after complaining about severe stomach pains and blood in his vomit.
Doctors said after an initial exam didn't turn up a cause, they slid a medical camera into an opening in his stomach and spotted a 9-inch fork embedded in the lining.
According to reports, Gardner's surgeon, Hanis Shiwani, said the prongs of the fork had pressed on the stomach lining causing an ulcer that led to the bleeding.
"I can't believe it. I have never had any problems with my stomach except once a couple of years ago I remember thinking I felt like something had lodged when I bent over awkwardly," he told the BBC. "But the advice at the time was that it would just pass through my system, and as that was so many years before, I really didn't think it could be the fork."
Doctors said the fork was removed during a 45-minute surgery and that Gardner is doing well and should make a full recovery.
"If something does get lodged, then normally a patient would become ill almost immediately. This is why Lee's case is so uncharacteristic," Shiwani told the BBC. "The plastic had been exposed to stomach acid for 10 years but apart from it being black, there was no damage. It didn't melt it down or anything, which is remarkable."
It wasn't clear if doctors had performed an internal search of Gardner's body for any other utensils.

Progressive Mythology
In their book Science Left Behind: Feel-Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left, Alex Berezow and Hank Campbell counter allegations of a Republican war on science by pointing out how political progressives are equally anti-science. According to Berezow and Campbell, progressives hold opinions that are not based on physical reality, and claim that their beliefs are based on science even when they are not.
I try to stay out of politics, but anti-science attitudes should be discouraged wherever they are found, and the mythology of progressives as described by Berezow and Campbell is very much like the thinking of alternative medicine:
- Everything natural is good
- Everything unnatural is bad
- Unchecked science and progress will destroy us
- Science is only relative anyway


text: My 4 week old just began nursing with a nipple shield (we've been pumping because she refused the breast- even with a shield up until now) She's nursed three times, but two of these times have been very painful, and when she comes off, my nipple appears pinched! I take care to make sure the shield is centered, and I was fitted for my shield by an LC, but two different LCs gave me two different sizes! Any ideas on why it would be so painful??? I was so excited she's nursing (I'm sick of pumping), but now I'm worried we may not be able to keep it up. :( TIA!

text: There are days when I just want a thick warm down jacket like this one. But when I'm looking for a more versatile layering system for days that might include skin laps, bootpacking, and inbounds skiing, I use the the Apoc shell. It's made of Neoshell, the new extremely light and waterproof/breathable membrane from Polartec. The hang of the fabric is much lighter and quieter than my crinkly hardshells of old, which makes it easy and comfortable to move around in. Pit zips, pockets aplenty, and a thoughtfully-tailored fit round out this fully featured alpine shell. [$480; westcombcom] -Sam Bass, Editor

NGC 7674 (seen just above the center), also known as Markarian 533, is the brightest and largest member of the so-called Hickson 96 compact group of galaxies, consisting of four galaxies. This stunning Hubble image shows a spiral galaxy nearly face-on. The central bar-shaped structure is made up of stars. The shape of NGC 7674, including the long narrow streamers seen to the left of and below the galaxy can be accounted for by tidal interactions with its companions. NGC 7674 has a powerful active nucleus of the kind known as a type 2 Seyfert that is perhaps fed by gas drawn into the center through the interactions with the companions. NGC 7674 falls into the family of luminous infrared galaxies and is featured in Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as number 182. It is located in the constellation of Pegasus, the Winged Horse, about 400 million light-years away from Earth.
This image is part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released on the occasion of its 18th anniversary on 24th April 2008.

So you think you've got Iowa pegged? Well, some of the state's hidden gems, from art museums to a baseball diamond shaped from a field of corn, just may surprise you.
Whether you want to just get in a game of catch or emerge like a "ghost player" from the corn, a visit to the Field of Dream" movie site in Dyersville is sure to be a crowd pleaser. There are no organized events at this baseball diamond cut from a field of corn, just a chance to take in the site, buy a memento or two and repeat the catchphrase from the Kevin Costner film that was shot here, "If you build it, they will come."
When most people hear the name Amana, they most likely think of refrigerators. But those refrigerators got their start in the Amana Colonies, a group of seven historic villages founded by German immigrants just south of Cedar Rapids. Visitors to the area can purchase antiques, handwoven baskets, furniture and clocks, or taste locally-made wine and beer. Visiting the Amana Colonies is like stepping back in time to the 1850s, when the community got its start.
One of the most famous -- and longest -- scenic and historic drives in the United States, the Great River Road covers more than 3,000 miles of federal, state and county roads that generally follow the Mississippi River from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Iowa's portion of the route passes through national wildlife refuges, overlooks a series of locks and dams and takes visitors through some of the state's oldest, and most beautiful, communities.
Legend says that Father Paul Matthias Dobberstein promised to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary if he survived a near-fatal bout of pneumonia. Dobberstein kept to that vow, starting work on the Grotto of Redemption in the farmlands of northwest Iowa in 1912. For the next 42 years he used rocks and precious stones to create nine separate grottos, each portraying a scene in the life of Christ. What he also created was a site that has to be seen to be believed.
The renaissance of Davenport's riverfront downtown, which had struggled for decades, was anchored by the opening of a stunning glass box of a museum designed by British architect David Chipperfield. The Figge Museum stands in sharp contrast to the aging brick buildings around it. The museum draws major exhibits from around the world. While you are downtown, spin the roulette wheel on the Rhythm City riverboat casino, grab a bite at one of the downtown pubs and then take in a Quad City River Bandits minor league baseball game at the historic riverfront Modern Woodman stadium.

These Saturday morning arrests were spearheaded by George West Police Det. Sgt. Samantha Gray and Police Det. Libby Shelton and executed by all 11 of the department's officers, reports show.
The intelligence that led to the arrests came as part of "a general narcotics operation," Gray said.
Modesto Cruz Saldana, 51, was taken into custody at 209 Travis Street after an early Saturday warrant search during which authorities seized $700 in cash, 10 grams of cocaine, less than two ounces of marijuana and various drug packaging materials, Det. Sgt. Gray said.
The residence at which Saldana was alleged to have been selling is located two blocks from George West Primary School, 405 Travis Street, Gray said.
Saldana was arrested on suspicion of first-degree possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone; and three additional varying counts of possessions of a controlled substance, all third degree felonies.
Saldana also was arrested on suspicion of a fifth possession of a controlled substance charge, also a third degree felony, once jail officers found more narcotics on his person after he was booked into jail.
Saldana was released Sunday evening after making $120,000 bond, according to George West Jail Sgt. Laura R. Ramos. The phone number he listed in police reports has been disconnected, and he could not be reached to comment Monday.
Also arrested during the 209 Travis warrant search was Carol Lynn Martinez, 52, on suspicion of two, third-degree felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. She also was released Sunday after making $50,000 bond, Sgt. Ramos said.
Martinez did not answer the phone when a reporter tried to contact her for comment Monday.
George West Police Chief Rey Garcia said one of the most notable aspects of the Saldano case is that he is alleged to have told officers he sells marijuana to minors—with permission from the parents.
"It's interesting that he had the parents permission to sell it," the chief said.
The chief said he was told these parents would rather their children smoke marijuana than K-2, synthetic marijuana. Recently outlawed by the Texas Legislature, K-2 is believed to be more dangerous, more expensive and harder to prosecute.
Meanwhile, in the other Saturday morning arrest, Porfirio "Pilo" Garcia, 72, was apprehended at 107 Fannin Street after he was found to be in possession of 1.2 grams of cocaine, less than ounces of marijuana, some baggies and digital scales, reports show.
Garcia was arrested on suspicion of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, a second degree felony; unlawful possession of a firearm, a third degree felony; two counts of possession of a controlled substance, a state jail felony; and possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor.
Garcia was released Sunday after making $50,500 bond, jail records show.
A Monday phone call seeking comment from Garcia was unsuccessful. Someone picked up the phone on his end then hung it up again.

For Immediate Release
May 17, 2012
State Board of Education names Financial Oversight Panel for East St. Louis District 189
Community leaders to supervise finances in ESL District to help balance budget and better serve students
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced Thursday that it has named a Financial Oversight Panel (FOP) for East St. Louis School District 189 with Ranodore Foggs serving as the panel's chair. The FOP, with five ISBE-appointed volunteer members, will serve District 189 for at least three years in order to help the district achieve financial stability.
"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank these citizens for stepping up to offer their time and expertise in helping this district get back in good financial health," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Districts that are operating with a balanced budget are better able to serve students today and plan for the future."
The ISBE-appointed members of the FOP are:
- Karen Davis, Vice Chair of the Illinois Housing Development Board with a background in public and private financing. Ms. Davis lives in Maryville. Davis will serve on the panel until November of this year.
- Ranodore Foggs, a former East St. Louis Chief of Police and State Police officer and pastor of New Horizon Community Church in East St. Louis. Foggs lives in Fairview Heights and will serve as chairman of the FOP.
- Sister Julia Huiskamp, business manager of the East St. Louis Housing Authority. Sr. Huiskamp, with the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul, lives in East St. Louis.
- Jerome Jackson, Pastor, Southern Mission Baptist Church, former junior high social science teacher in District 189. Jackson lives in East St. Louis.
- Linda Matkowski, a financial advisor with Raymond James Public Finance Group in Chicago and past school board member for Carpentersville-based Community Unit School District 300. Matkowski lives in Glendale Heights.
- Judge Milton Wharton, a judge in the 20th Judicial Circuit in Belleville. Judge Wharton's term will begin in November.
The East St. Louis School District 189 serves more than 7,000 students and has been under ISBE oversight since last spring. The State Board will consider next month whether or not to remove the locally elected board and replace them with an independent authority. The district's failure to meet standards for nine years under the federal No Child Left Behind law (NCLB) triggered the state's intervention. The creation of the FOP will provide the district with a greater ability to meet the financial challenges the district is facing after years of deficit spending.

As you probably already know, the internet is a bit upset with David O. Russell and his casting of Mark Wahlberg as the lead in his Uncharted movie adaptation. Adam Sessler is not blind to your rage, so he decided to chime in and explain why he doesn't really care what happens with the Uncharted movie, despite his love of the video game series. So in this week's Soapbox, Adam takes on the subject of video game movies and why they always end up sucking so bad.
Warning: This episode of Soapbox contains some of Adam Sessler's explosive and controversial opinions, like Apocalypse Now is a bad movie, and J. R. R. Tolkien sucks. Proceed with caution.

CHICAGO -- Rana Khan has had the same group of students
for three years and could not be happier about it! At
O.A. Sexton Elementary School Kahn's class has "looped"
which means that as her students advanced a grade she
went right along with them. Therefore, her class is comprised
of students she taught in third grade, fourth grade, and
now fifth grade. The sense of continuity for her students
has made a real difference in their academic achievement.
According to Khan's principal, Ginger Bryant; "Every
single student in Rana's class scores are off the
charts, especially in math and reading. We see 2-3 year
growth in her kids."
Rana has only been teaching for six years but in those
six years she has continued learning right alongside her
students. Since she is determined to help every student
become successful, Rana makes a point to pursue workshops
and professional development opportunities that will equip
her to better help her students achieve their goals.
It is this determination and initiative that led the
Milken Family Foundation to select her as one of two Illinois
recipients of the prestigious Milken National Educator
The announcement came as a complete surprise to almost
everyone in the crowded auditorium at O.A. Sexton Elementary
School on Tuesday morning. Using the premise that Arne
Duncan was visiting the school, an assembly was put together.
The reality was something on a much bigger scale as local
dignitaries, politicians, members of the State Board of
Education, and of course, Arne Duncan, took their places.
Then Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the Milken
Family Foundation was introduced. A few people in the
audience recognized the name but the secret remained intact.
After a short speech about outstanding teachers and the
importance of education, Milken announced the real reason
for the assembly.
The prestigious award is given annually to teachers demonstrating
exemplary teaching skills and personal commitment to education.
Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation
that they may use in any manner.
Khan's dedication and passion for helping students
be all that they can be attracted the attention of the
Milken foundation and led them to Chicago. She's
a natural born leader who is happiest working directly
with students. Her colleagues frequently seek her out
with ideas or to ask for advice on reaching students that
are struggling. She embraces collaboration and is eager
to do whatever it takes to help students learn.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Milken National
Educator Awards. Approximately 100 teachers in 48 states
and the District of Columbia will receive Milken awards
this year. Since 1987, over $56 million has been awarded
to more than 2,200 educators. New recipients will join
the Milken Educator Network, a rich resource of educators
and other influential leaders accessible to fellow teachers,
legislators, school boards, and others who are shaping
the future of education. 102 Illinois teachers and principals
have received the Milken National Educator award since
its inception.

WAYNE COUNTY, PA — Now that Newfield Appalachia PA LLC and Hess Corporation have pulled out of their gas leases in Wayne County, it seems unlikely that there will be gas drilling in the county—or for that matter in the Upper Delaware River Valley—at any time in the near future.
Preventing gas drilling in the region has been the goal of various environmental groups since at least 2008. But are the groups responsible for preventing drilling long enough that this latest development became inevitable? Three local groups responded to that question.
Barbara Arrindell, the director of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS), said the environmental groups "absolutely" played a major role in delaying drilling. She said, "Before DCS members started going to meetings of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) no one at the DRBC recognized what was involved in this type of gas drilling."
The DRBC ultimately imposed a moratorium on drilling until it could come up with new regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing. The moratorium, Arrindell said, was sparked by DCS actions. She said, "The DRBC had to step in, after we presented paper after paper—a lot of them from industry—saying that damage is caused by these techniques. Grass roots activism had the impact that made the difference."
She continued, "We were told by those promoting drilling in the beginning of 2008, when we first formed, that drilling in the Delaware River Basin was going to proceed at the same development rate as the Susquehanna River Basin." The Susquehanna River Basin is now peppered with gas wells, while there are none in the Delaware River Basin.
Ramsay Adams, the executive director of Catskill Mountainkeeper, noted that while the companies said they pulled out of the leases because of the low price of gas, the environmental groups and everyone else can't be sure of the reasons for pulling out, because gas exploration companies are involved in complex financial transactions and guard information closely.
Having said that, he added, "There is absolutely no way that our efforts—the collective grass roots—didn't play a major role in this happening." He, too, said the groups forced the DRBC to take gas drilling off the table at least temporarily.
Bruce Ferguson, of Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, wrote in an email, "I'd like to think that Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy and the regional organizations played a role, but there were a number of factors, apart from community opposition, that contributed to Hess' decision. The DRBC still hasn't promulgated drilling regulations for the Delaware Basin, and a gas glut has driven the price of natural gas below the cost of production. And let's not forget that this decision was made after a number of test wells had been drilled in the area—I assume Hess found that Wayne County isn't likely to be profitable—if it were a sweet spot, I bet Hess would still be holding onto its leases."

Senior services draw attention
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – Belmont County commissioners answered several questions regarding senior services during their Wednesday meeting.
Commissioners motioned to authorize the senior services coordinator to advertise for candidates for the position of fiscal administrator for senior services under the commissioners. The board also authorized the interim director of the Department of Job and Family Services to abolish the recently vacated position of senior services unit support worker. Commissioners Ginny Favede and Charles R. Probst, Jr. voted in favor, with Commissioner Matt Coffland opposed.
Favede pointed out that the new senior services fiscal administrator position will cover the duties of the former senior services unit support worker post.
Guests also inquired about the future of senior services.
Among the guests was Richard Hord, who noted a prior statement from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services approving of the original plan to combine the two entities. He inquired about the state agency's view of the decision to create a separate entity under the commissioners.
Coffland agreed that the state viewed the combination favorably. He expressed reservations that the separation would end the sharing of employees, computers, equipment, materials and benefits from the combination.
Favede brought up the possibility that the computers may be donated, as is a common practice. She added that the seniors would probably put greater trust in the analysis of the commissioners, who are more familiar with the local operation.
Vince Gallagher, AARP chapter 2994 president, invited the new senior services coordinator to attend their meetings. They spoke about the upcoming senior services levy.
Hord inquired about a prior meeting's decision to approve a contract between DJFS and the Jefferson County Community Action Council, Inc. for administrative entity services for Workforce Investment Area 16 in the amount of $64,276.56. Coffland noted that the funds are paid back to the county for its fiscal work in the program.
John Henthorn of Barton again noted the need for repairs on culverts and sidewalks.
Commissioners held a subdivision hearing and motioned to grant the replat of lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 18 in Ohio Riverview Estates, Pultney Township.
Commissioners motioned to accept the proposal from Hamilton & Associates, Inc. for $1,050 for the survey of Lots 7 and 8 in Flushing to survey area intended for a new senior center.
Commissioners motioned to adopt the Preliminary Consent Legislation resolution empowering the engineer to enter into contracts with the director of the Ohio Department of Transportation to complete a project establishing a paved park and riding lot in the county off County Road 102 near the interchange of I-70 and State Route 800. This project will include drainage, curb, lighting and fence. The entire cost of the project will be borne by ODOT. Coffland added that a park and ride currently exists on 870, which will be upgraded and maintained by ODOT.
Commissioners motioned to accept and sign a revised Belmont County Prevention, Retention and Contingency Plan effective October 2013, as submitted by DJFS in coordination with the Belmont County Family Service Planning Committee. The program provides assistance to Children Services families and emancipated foster care youth with a child and to Ohio Works First OWF work required individuals.
The board's next regular meeting was moved to Tuesday, Oct. 8, 10 a.m.

Sanders praises filibuster compromiseStaff and Wire report | July 17,2013WASHINGTON Senate leaders reached a deal Tuesday to preserve the filibuster in exchange for Senate confirmation of President Barack Obamas long-sought first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well as most other stalled nominees.
The Senate then voted 71-29 to begin debate on the nomination of Richard Cordray, the acting director of the consumer bureau, which could last for up to eight hours before a final vote in which he would need only 51 supporters for approval.
The other nominees include Tom Perez to head the Labor Department and Gina McCarthy to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
Under the deal, the Senate put aside two nominees for the National Labor Relations Board whom the president appointed during a Senate recess, Richard Griffin and Sharon Block. But organized labor is to be allowed to recommend their replacement nominees, who will receive confirmation votes before the end of the month.
Obama had installed Cordray when the Senate was in recess, angering Republicans.
Sen. Bernard Sanders welcomed the agreement but warned that more must be done to end gridlock in a seriously dysfunctional Senate.
I am pleased that an agreement has been reached in which President Obama finally will get Senate confirmation votes on his nominees to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Labor and the Environmental Protection Agency. This agreement also provides that new nominees for the National Labor Relations Board will be rapidly confirmed, Sanders said.
While this addresses an immediate need for the president of the United States to have his Cabinet and other senior officials confirmed, we should be clear that the agreement only addresses one symptom of a seriously dysfunctional U.S. Senate, Sanders added.
The issue that now must be addressed is how we create a process in the Senate which allows us to respond to the very serious needs of the American people in a timely and effective way. The United States Senate cannot function with any degree of effectiveness if a super-majority of 60 votes is needed to pass virtually any piece of legislation and huge amounts of time are wasted eating up the clock with parliamentary tactics meant only to delay for delays sake. Now is the time for real Senate rules reform.
Historically, filibusters are extremely rare. The Senate operated under an understanding that only in unusual circumstances would a rule be invoked requiring 60 senators to cut off debate. Since Obama has been in the White House, however, filibusters have become commonplace.
Having once spoken on the Senate floor for more than eight hours against extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy, Sanders said he respects the rights of the minority.
In my view, if a senator or a group of senators are strenuously opposed to legislation they have the right and duty to come to the floor and, for as long as they want, engage in a talking filibuster by explaining to the American people the reasons for their objection. They should not, however, continue to have the right to abuse arcane Senate rules to block a majority of senators from acting on behalf of the American people, he said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed confidence that a broader deal was in fact within reach, even if it would leave open the possibility of future filibusters of Obamas executive nominees. Reid had been threatening to change the rules, to bar such filibusters.
Senators are not questioning the ability to keep using filibusters in which 41 of the 100 senators can block action on legislation and judicial nominees, who seek lifetime appointments.
It is a compromise, and I think we get what we want, they get what they want. Not a bad deal, Reid said on the Senate floor.
The developments unfolded the day after a closed-door meeting of nearly all 100 senators, eager to avoid a rules change that could poison relations between the two parties.
The deal marks a retreat by Reid from his insistence Monday that Republicans promise not to filibuster future executive nominees. Republican leader Mitch McConnell had privately offered to clear the way for the currently contested nominees providing Block and Griffin were replaced said officials in both parties. Thats largely the deal Democrats agreed to Tuesday.
Reid credited Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., with helping broker a breakthrough.
McCain told reporters it was probably the hardest thing Ive been involved in. Noting the Senate recently passed a bipartisan immigration bill, he said, Maybe we can show more momentum toward bipartisanship.
McCain said he spoke over several days with Democratic and Republican senators, and with Vice President Joe Biden and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. At least 10 times it came together and then fell apart because theres always some new wrinkle, McCain said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

3 years after Irene, new office complex risingAP Photo
A portion of the new state office complex is under renovation and construction Wednesday in Waterbury. Much of the original complex, at left, was made unusable by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene on Aug. 28, 2011. At right is a new office building. The $125 million project to renovate some of the buildings while replacing others is the largest building project in state history. Its on track for completion in late 2015.
WATERBURY Three years after flooding from Tropical Storm Irene made most of the state office complex in Waterbury unusable, its replacement is rising out of what was a sodden mess that reeked of the nearby Winooski River.
An 86,000-square-foot office building is being constructed above the level of any expected flooding, and many of the historic buildings that are being preserved are being flood-proofed by filling in what had been their lowest levels.
The $125 million project, the largest state building project in Vermont history, is on track for completion at the end of 2015, when the first of 800 Agency of Human Services employees who will work there are scheduled to move in. It will take about four months to move everyone in, state project manager Mike Stevens said.
The progress on-site is everything that we expected and then some, Stevens said. The project is progressing at a very rapid rate.
Besides the new office building taking shape on the river side of the complex, a 20,000-square-foot central plant is being built. Most of the historic buildings, about a quarter of a mile from the river, are being completely renovated.
Flooding from Tropical Storm Irene on Aug. 28, 2011, was the greatest natural disaster to hit Vermont in almost a century. The storm killed six people and did hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to roads, bridges and public and private buildings, including homes.
Much progress has been made in the recovery. Last year, on the storms second anniversary, Gov. Peter Shumlin marked the unofficial end to the recovery, but he made clear much remained to be done.
And part of that unfinished business was reconstructing the Waterbury complex, which had more than a dozen buildings.
While the buildings stood after the Irene floodwaters receded, much of the complex was made unusable. The only building substantially unchanged since the flood and still in use is the Public Safety building.
The complex had been home to the Vermont State Hospital. The patients were moved to other facilities during the flooding.
Last month the new Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital opened in Berlin as part of a revamped statewide mental health care network.
The loss of the hundreds of jobs hit the town of Waterbury, which itself suffered devastating flooding.
Now there are about 170 construction workers on the site every day, Stevens said. And theres the promise of more people to come.
Deputy Transportation Secretary Sue Minter, who spent time as the states chief Irene recovery officer, said Irene did more than just damage the state.
I continue to think about how much stronger we are, Minter said, not just in terms of the infrastructure weve built but the people who we are and the strength of our communities.wMORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.
