November 28, 2012 —
From Bethel Woods Center for the Arts to the Discovery Center, nonprofit organizations play a large role in Sullivan County, and all of the nonprofits were invited to the first annual Sullivan Nonprofit Summit in March 2011.
The response was greater than organizers expected with about 150 individuals turning out. In March 2012, at the second summit, 165 people attended representing 78 organizations from "the arts, education, museums, healthcare, human services, agriculture and the environment.
To build in that success, the 2013 summit organizers have arranged to have a contest with a $5,000 award going to the nonprofit that best demonstrates "innovation in the areas of collaboration, marketing, organizational operations and programs."
At a news conference to unveil the award at the government center in Monticello on November 20, Amanda Langseder, a co-chair of the Nonprofit Leadership Summit, said tough economic times are bringing change to the nonprofit sector. She said, "What we are beginning to see with resources becoming slimmer, some nonprofits are choosing to become catalysts of change and innovation. It is this new energy that we are looking to feature and honor with the Nonprofit Innovation Award."
Glenn Pontier, a vice-chair of the steering committee, said applications for the award are being accepted through January 15, and the applicants will be narrowed to a final three, who will then be asked to give presentations at the third nonprofit summit at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on March 6, 2013.
To participate, an organization must be based in, or offer services in, Sullivan County. Nonprofit experts from outside the county will determine the winner, and the two runners up will receive prizes of $500 each.
County chair Scott Samuelson was also at the press conference and said nonprofits often provide services that government cannot. Of the award, he said, "The idea that one of the nonprofits will come up with an idea that will help consolidate services, or that will help streamline all of the work that the nonprofits do—I can't imagine a better goal or focus."

Fines and penalties.........Christmas for NASCAR?!?
Jeff Gordon, driver of the #24 car, was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) altercation with another competitor on the race track during the race and has been fined $100,000, docked 25 championship driver points and put on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Rick Hendrick, owner of the #24 car, has also been penalized with the loss of 25 championship owner points. Alan Gustafson, crew chief of the #24 car, also was found to be in violation of Section 9-4A (at all events, crew chief assumes responsibility of his driver, car owner and team members) and has been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
Brian Pattie, crew chief of the #15 car, violated Sections 12-1 and 9-4A and has been fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31.
Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 car, has been fined $25,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31 for violating Sections 12-1 and 20-6.7A (cars and drivers will not be permitted to carry onboard computers, automated electronic recording devices, electronically actuated devices, power distribution modules, power conditioners, micro-processors, recording devices, electronic digital memory chips, traction control devices, digital readout gauges and the like, even if inoperable or incomplete) driver had a cell phone in his possession onboard the race car. All of these violations occurred during the Nov. 11 event at PIR.
Statement From Robin Pemberton, NASCAR Vice President of Competition: "Following a thorough analysis of the actions that took place during Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway, we have issued penalties based upon our review. The decisions announced today cover NASCAR's full assessment of penalties for the incidents that occurred. There's no doubt that a unique set of circumstances combined with a championship battle on the line resulted in raw emotions coming into play. We consider the penalties appropriate and those involved understand our decision and we expect them to abide by them."(NASCAR)(11-12-2012)*]
Well this is certainly is interesting............
I agree with the points reduction, but 100,000.00 is pocket change for Jeff!
As for the $ 25,000.00 to Brad for tweeting during the race....... Were the drivers told not to tweet during a race? Come on NASCAR get a life......tweeting while driving NO! But during a red flag situation........that's what everyone does! It's called free publicity! Look at all the new fans that came to NASCAR when JP hit the jet drier!!

Florida – The Sunshine State?
Rain interrupted another South Florida game last night. Is Florida the sunshine state or the rainstorm state? It is hard to tell which at this point. So the Phillies and the Marlins will have to reschedule the called game and start from scratch. Oddly enough, the only reason this week was supposed to be a four game series, instead of three, is because MLB rescheduled the 9/21 game to this past Thursday after the NFL announced that the Miami Dolphins would be hosting a Monday night football game on 9/21. You would think the NFL would have respected the already in place MLB schedule, but that is not how it turned out.
And now the rained out game will likely have to be played that same week in September as it is the only time the Phillies will be returning to South Florida this year. No official plans have been announced, but expect a doubleheader, probably on 9/22.
As for today, the two teams will try once again to get a game in without Mother Nature throwing a wrench into the situation. Friday's game featured a 1 hour and 18 minute rain delay and the game took 4 hours and 12 innings to play; yesterday, the game was rained out after just over one inning. And today? Scheduled for a 1:10pm start time, keep your fingers crossed for dry skies in Miami. JA Happ takes his 6-0 record to the mound and is planning on a Fish Fry. Best of luck to him!

I really am surprised that the Marlins don't have a domed stadium. It really does rain everyday in Florida during the summer.
I think if you play in Florida – Domes should be manditory! Just given the heat, humidity, storms and wind that they can get. Hope they can find some way to make up the game.
Right now, we're the rainy state. Followed by the nasty humidity state. And then the mid-90s state.
Today it has been raining all day. The sun should peak out in a little while, to be followed by some cloudiness. It isn't bad for playing golf–sometimes the rain keeps the temps down, espcially if you get to the course right after a downpour–but it is bad for outdoor baseball.
That's why the Marlins are building a retractable roof stadium and the Rays are asking for one (they're in a dome now, but they want retractable for the next one).
So there's some useless info on our current Florida weather situation. Play ball! (eventually)

The debut of the Affordable Care Act health insurance exchanges has been anything but smooth.
Nearly a month after the exchanges opened, Americans are still having a tough time signing onto the insurance exchange websites. And once they manage to get in, many aren't so happy with what they're finding.
As Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies about the problems on Capitol Hill, check out some of the major complaints from CNNMoney readers:
1. I can't log in
Many people are still having trouble signing onto healthcare.gov, the federal exchange that's handling enrollment for 36 states. While the site no longer leaves applicants hanging with a hold screen, many are still receiving error messages when they try to log in.
2. My info's not right
Some insurers are saying the applications they're getting from the exchanges are riddled with errors. Some forms are missing full names or numbers. Others contain duplicates, with the same person signing up for different plans.
3. The costs are too high
Many who were uninsured before are feeling forced to buy pricey insurance they don't want. Others who had bare-bones individual plans are seeing the premium prices soar because the "Obamacare" plans are more comprehensive. Be sure to check if you're eligible for federal subsidies to lower the cost.
4. My employer is raising my premiums because of "Obamacare"
Several readers with employer-sponsored insurance say their premiums are going up for 2014, and are blaming the Affordable Care Act. While it's true that health reform is contributing to higher premiums and plan changes, experts say "Obamacare" is not the driving factor. Health care costs are rising because the economy is improving so people are going to the doctor more.

Dummy Medicine, Dummy Doctors, and a Dummy Degree, Part 2.0: Harvard Medical School and the Curious Case of Ted Kaptchuk, OMD
The recent albuterol vs. placebo trial reported in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that experimental subjects with asthma experienced substantial, measured improvements in lung function after inhaling albuterol, but not after inhaling placebo, undergoing sham acupuncture, or "no treatment." It also found that the same subjects reported having felt substantially improved after either albuterol or each of the two sham treatments, but not after "no treatment." Anthropologist Daniel Moerman, in an accompanying editorial, wrote, "the authors conclude that the patient reports were 'unreliable,' since they reported improvement when there was none"—precisely as any rational clinician or biomedical scientist would have concluded.
In Part 1 of this blog we saw that Moerman took issue with that conclusion. He argued, with just a bit of hedging, that the subjects' perceptions of improvement were more important than objective measures of their lung function. I wondered how the NEJM editors had chosen someone whose bibliography predicted such an anti-medical opinion. I doubted that Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Drazen, an expert in the pathophysiology of asthma, had ever heard of Moerman. I suggested, in a way that probably appeared facetious, that Ted Kaptchuk, the senior author of the asthma report, might have recommended him. (more…)

Best Enjoyed Cold:
Absolut Elyx heads to The Snow Lodge
Even among the celebrity buzz and movie premieres at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the place to be during the weekend was the pop-up lounge, The Snow Lodge. Created when The Surf Lodge team in Montauk paired up with the chic Evenleigh from LA, the blink-and- you-miss-it hotspot attracted celebs and hipsterati from both coasts.
Each night some of the biggest names in Hollywood came through for a variety of parties. Gwyneth Paltrow came to the Young Ones dinner, and Aaron Paul, the Hellion Dinner. Willem Dafoe, Rachel McAdams, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Anton Corbijn also got together at the The Most Wanted Man dinner. Elizabeth Olsen and Boyd Holbrook were at the Little Accidents party, Anne Hathaway and Lilly Mcdowell joined for The One I Love party, and Jason Swartzman mingled at the Listen Up, Phillip cocktail party. At each event Absolut Elyx took center stage at the bar.
While summer in the Hamptons may be months away, for just these few events, The Surf Lodge team gave everyone a reminder of their days relaxing on Ditch Plains Beach and nights meeting new friends under the glow of hanging lights. Summer can't come soon enough.

Former legislator drops hiring lawsuit
A former state lawmaker has dropped a federal lawsuit claiming she wasn't hired for a legislative job because she's a Republican.
Sheryl Albers alleged her civil rights were violated when a Democrat, Mark Pocan didn't hire her for a non-partisan job as clerk of the Joint Finance Committee in 2009.
State attorneys argued that Albers wasn't hired because, as a legislator, she had a history of partisanship. Albers' lawyer, Jeff Olson, told the State Journal a recent ruling by a federal judge in Madison made his client's case more difficult to prove. Judge Barbara Crabb ruled a government employer can consider a job applicant's history of partisan activity in making a hiring decision.
Albers also agreed to withdraw her complaints before the state Equal Rights Division and the federal Equal Employment Opportunities Commission.

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Journalist
At St. James' Park
Newcastle United 2 (Ba 48, Ameobi 86)
Tottenham Hotspur 2 (Van Der Vaart 40, Defoe 68)
Shola Ameobi's late strike salvaged a point for Newcastle as they drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur at St. James' Park on Sunday.
The substitute fired a left-footed shot past Brad Friedel in the 86th minute as United twice came from behind to keep their unbeaten start to the campaign in tact.
Rafael Van Der Vaart had given Spurs a first half lead from the penalty spot, after Steven Taylor was adjudged to have fouled Emmanuel Adebayor inside the area, but Demba Ba levelled from close range minutes after the restart.
Jermain Defoe's strike looked to have won the contest for the visitors, but Ameobi had the last laugh, netting his first goal of the season for a share of the spoils.
Tottenham dominated the opening exchanges, but had no real clear cut openings to show for their possession.
With just a couple of minutes on the clock, Benoit Assou-Ekotto's low cut-back from the left flank was dummied by Adebayor, allowing Van Der Vaart to race on to it. The Dutchman's first touch took him into the area, but Ryan Taylor was on hand to clear the danger before he could pull the trigger.
And in the 11th minute, midfielder Jake Livermore met Van Der Vaart's corner but was unable to get enough power on his header to test Tim Krul.
Newcastle began to grow into the contest and carved out their first chance on 24 minutes when captain Fabricio Coloccini chipped into the box and Demba Ba rose above the visiting defence.
The striker connected, but planted a firm header straight at Brad Friedel, when anything either side of the veteran keeper could have caused him a big problem.
Tottenham suffered a blow on the half hour mark when captain Ledley King hobbled off, to be replaced by Sebastien Bassong, with the former Newcastle defender receving a less-than-warm welcome from the St. James' Park faithful.
Yohan Cabaye was next to try his luck for the hosts with a 25-yard effort after good work from Cheik Tiote, but the midfielder was well off target.
United were slowly getting on top but Spurs took the lead from the penalty spot with five minutes of the first half remaining. Cabaye lost possession in the middle of the park, and when Adebayor strode into the box he went down under the challenge of Steven Taylor.
Referee Lee Probert seemed to take an age to make his decision before awarding a penalty, and Van Der Vaart stepped up to plant the ball into the right corner of the net, sending Krul the wrong way in the process.
The Magpies responded and Ba thumped a header over the top from Cabaye's right-wing corner but they were unable to force an equaliser before the break.
Clearly hurt by conceding, Newcastle came roaring out of the traps at the start of the second period and were level within three minutes. Jonas Gutierrez weaved his way down the left touchline before dinking a cross to the far post where Ba was racing in.
And the front man prodded home his fifth goal of the season from inside the six yard box, despite the best efforts of Friedel, who got something on it but just failed to stop the ball crossing the line.
Spurs could, and maybe should, have been back in front on 52 minutes. Luka Modric threaded a pass through the home defence and Adebayor's shot across the face of goal was inches the wrong side of the upright.
Gabriel Obertan wasn't too far away at the other end minutes later, latching on to a loose ball before driving forward and striking a low 25-yard effort just wide of the far post.
By this point the game was really opening up, with both sides exchanging scoring chances, and Van Der Vaart was only denied a second by Krul, who did well to hold on to his sidefooted effort, after Modric had pulled the ball back from the byline.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp replaced his goalscorer Van Der Vaart with Jermain Defoe in the 64th minute, and within four minutes the switch had paid dividends as the visitors regained the lead.
Some neat interplay between Modric and Scott Parker created space for Spurs, and when the latter knocked the ball into the path of Defoe just outside the box, the substitute took a touch, turned a left-footed shot past the grasp of Krul.
Magpies boss Alan Pardew responded with a double change, bringing on Hatem Ben Arfa and Shola Ameobi for Demba Ba and Leon Best in a bid to freshen up his attack. And summer signing Davide Santon was then introduced in the 77th minute for his Newcastle debut, after signing from Inter Milan at the end of August.
And the home side looked bright again, with Tiote forcing Friedel to tip his 30-yard shot over the top after good work from Gutierrez and Obertan had fashioned the chance.
On 82 minutes Ryan Taylor set up a 25-yard free-kick well within his raqnge, but Friedel was equal to the effort, which curled around the wall but not past the stopper's fingertips.
But Friedel was finally beaten again four minutes from time. As Tottenham failed to clear some heavy home pressure, the ball found its way to Ameobi on the left-hand side of the area. The big striker had a lot to do but flashed a drive into the far corner to send St. James' Park into raptures.
There was still time for further chances though, and Krul made an outstanding point-blank save to deny Defoe his second. Then, at the other end, Coloccini somehow skewed wide from close range as Spurs failed to clear their lines, while Friedel held on to Gutierrez's low shot which turned out to be the final moment of a thrilling contest.
Newcastle United (4-4-2): Tim Krul; Danny Simpson (Davide Santon 77), Steven Taylor, Fabricio Coloccini (c), Ryan Taylor; Gabriel Obertan, Yohan Cabaye, Cheik Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez; Leon Best (Shola Ameobi 71), Demba Ba (Hatem Ben Arfa 71)

Dogs help ease stress at Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 29/13
As exam season opens at Laurier, students will have no shortage of furry friends to help ease their stress.
Two Laurier organizations will be bringing dogs to the Waterloo campus next week in an attempt to help curb the anxiety that can come along with exams.
On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the Aboriginal Students Association invites students to get some puppy loving from the pugs they will be bringing to the Aboriginal Student Centre at 187 Albert St. from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for their Hug a Pug event.
Meanwhile, the Keffer Chapel at the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary (WLS) will also play host to a group of canine stress relievers. In an event sponsored by the Delton Glebe Centre, students can visit the Keffer Chapel between 10 a.m. and noon Dec. 3-6 to play with a dog and enjoy some complimentary cider.
Kristine Lund, assistant principal, associate professor, and director of Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy at the WLS, noted that research has shown that dogs can have many positive effects on a persons physical and mental state.
Empirical research has demonstrated that interaction with dogs is beneficial for reducing anxiety, blood pressure and increasing a greater sense of calm and well-being, said Lund, who helped set up the event at the Keffer Chapel.
Both events are free of charge and open to all students.
On Nov. 27, the Wilfrid Laurier University Students Union brought Chuck, the Therapy Dog for a visit to Lauriers Brantford campus.

I think the Knicks will actually win this game.
Caron Butler will probably not play, Arenas is out of course, so I think the Knicks will pull out a W in this game. Good thread by the way, but remember this the little guys, as in the mediocre players always play well against the Knicks, remember that.
The poll came down to Artest and the Package from Denver for Z Bo. I picked the package, but I think a sign and trade might be the the way the Knicks will plan things during the offseason.

American Julia Mancuso won the first medal in alpine skiing for the U.S. at the Sochi Winter Olympics, taking bronze in the super combined.
Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch matched her gold from 2010 to repeat as champion and Austria's Nicole Hosp won silver.
The event combines skiers' times from one downhill run and one slalom run.
Mancuso won the downhill portion with a time of 1 minute, 42.68 seconds, putting her 0.86 seconds ahead of the field, but finished 13th in the slalom portion with a time of 52.47.
Mancuso's bronze gives her the fourth medal of her Olympic career. The 29-year-old Squaw Valley, Calif., native won giant slalom gold in Turin, Italy, in 2006 and silver medals in both the super combined and downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
No other female American alpine skier has won more than two Olympic medals.
Mancuso's performance also helps fill a void created for U.S. alpine skiing fans when gold medal favorite Lindsey Vonn pulled out of the Sochi Games due to a knee injury.
Vonn originally tore her knee ligaments at the world championships nearly a year ago. The four-time World Cup overall champion underwent reconstructive surgery but aggravated the problem in a crash during training in November.
Four years ago, Mancuso finished second in the Olympics downhill behind Vonn at Whistler. Last March, she took third place at the world championships in the Super-G race where Vonn earlier crashed and hurt her knee.
After a difficult start to the 2013-14 World Cup season, Mancuso took a break from the slopes. After returning in mid-January, she scored her first three top-10 finishes of the season (two in the downhill and one in the Super-G), securing her spot for her fourth Olympic Games.
Of the other American skiers in the field, Laurenne Ross and Stacey Cook were both eliminated after failing to complete the downhill course. Fellow American Leanne Smith stood in 20th place after the downhill, but was disqualified for missing a gate in the slalom.

LO is 6 months and 1 week. The last few days, he has been REFUSING the "dinner time" nursing.
Last night, he was so tired, I just put him to bed assuming he would wake up later to eat. That was at 7 pm. He didn't wake up until 4 am.
Today, he's nursed VERY well at all the regular times:
4 am
7 am
11 am
2 pm
Then, when I figured he'd be ready to eat at 5 pm, he refused. And not just distracted. I'm talking YELLED at me refused.
I kept trying.
I didn't want him to go that long without any food, and I thought maybe it was because of my slow letdown in the evenings. So, we gave him some sweet potato (he loves them) and he ate that like crazy.
Usually, he'd do a 5 pm or 530, then solids, then another "night cap" before sleeping at 7. Tonight, he wouldn't do any of the nursings and actually acted really angry when I even suggested that my breast would offer him anything.
I don't use a bottle ever (maybe once in the last 3 months).
He plays with a cup, but not enough to make this an issue, I don't think.
Is he dropping a feeding?
My mom suggested that I drop the 2 pm feeding so that he'll nurse at 5. She nursed all 5 of us kids, so I generally listen to her, but I'm just not sure.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Being Canucks we don't try to annex territory to get promoted we just wait politely for others to implode.
I'm not sure Russia lost enough to be demoted.

From the OED2:
Also Kanuck, etc. [App. f. the first syllable of Canada.]
1. A Canadian; spec. a French Canadian.
2. A Canadian horse or pony.
3. The French-Canadian patois. B. adj. Of or pertaining to Canada or its inhabitants.
In U.S. usage, gen. derogatory.
1835 H. C. Todd Notes upon Canada 92 Jonathan distinguishes a Dutch or French Canadian, by the term Kanuk.
Same source:
Also Yankey, Yanky, pl. Yankies. [Source unascertained.
The two earliest statements as to its origin were published in 1789: Thomas Anburey, a British officer who served under Burgoyne in the War of Independence, in his Travels II. 50 derives Yankee from Cherokee eankke slave, coward, which he says was applied to the inhabitants of New England by the Virginians for not assisiting them in a war with the Cherokees; William Gordon in Hist. Amer. War states that it was a favourite word with farmer Jonathan Hastings of Cambridge, Mass., c 1713, who used it in the sense of excellent. Appearing next in order of date (1822) is the statement which has been most widely accepted, viz. that the word has been evolved from North American Indian corruptions of the word English through Yengees to Yankees (Heckewelder, Indian Nations iii. ed. 1876, p. 77); cf. Yengees.
Perhaps the most plausible conjecture is that it comes from Du. Janke, dim. of Jan John, applied as a derisive nickname by either Dutch or English in the New England states (J. N. A. Thierry, 1838, in Life of Ticknor, 1876, II. vii. 124).
Hence "Yankee v. (rare1), trans. to deal cunningly with like a Yankee, to cheat [ ]
1837 Fraser's Mag. XVI. 683 [They] are considered capable of *Yankeeing the more simple-minded Canadians.
Not that Id want to stir up old wars or anything but

With the introduction of solids, how much is yor baby nursing? Has the frequency changed? Maddie is eating a bottle of BM ( about 4 oz.) in the mid-morning and having a solid lunch. (she eats an entire stage 1 Gerber) She then will have another bottle of BM (about 4 0z.) around 1:00. She then nurses when I get home around 4. She then gets another solid for late dinner around 8:00. She then nurses to sleep and then about every 3-4 hours until she gets up for the day. (these night nurses are sometimes quick back to sleep, sometimes not)
I am not concerned about weight issues. (she's 17 pounds), but I want her major intake to be BM....Do you think she is getting enough???

My dear, dead, neighbor used this word(adjective) to describe an ultra-conservative, boorish, gluttonous, self-centered, lazy, neighbor, of certain European descent.
Is this a real word or did Jack just spit out pidgion German sounds?
Phonetically it sounded: off'-ish-kiten......(add a country here)

You doubled the original post, maybe you did not notice.
Aufschiessen, opschieten, means :" move on or hurry up". Could be sort of German or Dutch you heard. It's usually written in small fonts or characters.

The word is too far off any real Dutch or German word to make anything out of it, Scriveyn. It comes closest to 'opschieten '
which means, as said to move on or to hurry up.

I always thought "scheisse" was a "bad" word in German; one of those scatological ones... The online translator came up with "up-sh*t" for "aufscheissen". Not sure what that means, but it looks "bad" to me! If this was an insult, that would make sense...

Okay, German isn't my strong suit, so please set me straight! Isn't "schiessen" pronounced (give a break here; more or less:) "shee-sen", and "scheissen" as "shy-sen"? That's a big difference, and from R. Eastcourt's phonetic description "-kiten" as opposed to "-keeten", it "sounds" like a long i to me. That would necessitate a "ei" combination, as in "scheissen". Okay, have at me!!! ;0)

Offeskeiten isn't German. It might could be some Germanic language; not sure I'd bet on it considering who it came from but I don't think we can draw any conclusions about what the vowel sequence would be in any German cognate even if it is a legitimate word in some Germanic language

The Beeville Cemetery Association would like to thank Lindsey Green, Robert Beck and Beck Bros., Scott Lawson, Randy Walls, Allen Dunn and the many volunteers who assisted in installing the new water system for Glenwood Cemetery. We are appreciative of all the planning, laying of pipe, covering of ditches, installing power poles, meters, fabricating new faucets and the time invested in this huge project.
The water is now on, and we are ready to water under the guidelines established by the City of Beeville. The BCA is hopeful of drilling a well, installing a storage tank and putting in a pumping system for future water needs, but for now, we are hooked into the city for water, and the water is turned on according to the watering schedule.
Again, a heartfelt thanks to all who participated in making this project a reality.
The Beeville Cemetery Association
Aleene Green, President

Mary Switzer Research Fellowships
NIDILRR Now Part of HHS
Program Office: National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR)
CFDA Number: 84.133F
Program Type: Fellowships
Also Known As: Research Fellowships
Program Description
The Switzer Research Fellowships Program was established to build rehabilitation capacity by providing support to qualified individuals to engage in scientific research relating to the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities. The fellowships are available on an annual competitive basis on two levels:
Distinguished Fellowships
Distinguished Fellowships ($75,000) are awarded to individuals with a doctorate, other terminal degree, or comparable academic qualifications who have seven or more years of research experience in subject areas, methods or techniques directly relevant to rehabilitation research.
Merit Fellowships
Merit Fellowships ($75,000) are awarded to individuals with advanced professional training or research experience in independent study in appropriate areas that are directly pertinent to disability and rehabilitation, but who are in earlier stages of their research career, with less than the required seven years' experience, or who do not have a doctorate.
Fellows must conduct original research in an area authorized by Section 204 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The fellowships cover a 12-month period, and provide a stipend for research-related expenses. Awards are made to individuals only, not institutions. These fellowships require a full-time commitment (defined as 40 hours per week). The Fellow must work principally on the fellowship research during the year.
Types of Projects
The topics of Switzer research over the last twenty years include, but are not limited to, issues in medical rehabilitation; rehabilitation service financing, delivery, and utilization; vocational rehabilitation, rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology; rehabilitation psychology and psychiatric rehabilitation; disability policy/rights; rehabilitation measurement; and special education.
A few specific examples are described below.
- Dr. David Braddock,
Executive Director ofthe Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities and Associate Vice-President for Research, both at the University of Colorado
Dr. Braddock was a Switzer Distinguished Fellow in 1988-1989 at the midpoint of his career and then again ten years later. Braddock's first study involved the expansion of his analysis of public spending for developmental disabilities to include public spending for mental health services. Braddock took up the topic again in a second Switzer Fellowship, developing a methodology for the analysis of state spending for developmental, mental and physical disabilities. The resulting monograph (Disability at the Dawn of the 21st Century and State of the States) has become the single most important metric to gauge the extent to which the Olmstead Act is being implemented in the states.
- Dr. Mindy L. Aisen,
Former Deputy ChiefResearch and Development Officer (CRADO), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Dr. Aisen was a Switzer Merit Fellow in 1985-1986. Aisen's Switzer research on the assessment of tremor in multiple sclerosis resulted in published journal articles, primitive assessment devices, and further federal funding. The collaborative relationships that she established during her Switzer research resulted in the establishment of a Fellowship program at MIT and Cornell/Burke Rehabilitation in Rehabilitation Medicine/Rehabilitation Engineering and in a robotics collaborative between the same institutions. For the latter, Aisen and colleagues extended the measurement of tremor to the population of those with head injury. The outgrowth of Aisen's Switzer research has been a significant contribution to the literature that has, and continues to have, a profound effect on clinical treatment.
- Dr. Alan M. Jette,
Dean, Sargent College ofHealth and Rehabilitation Sciences, Boston University
Dr. Jette was a Switzer Distinguished Fellow in 1988-1989. He conducted his fellowship research in the early stages of his career, and the title of his study was "Longitudinal Analyses of Impairments and Disability." Jette's reports that his Switzer epidemiology study (involving analyses of longitudinal data re: disabilities) was published and prepared him to successfully compete for NIH funding. He states that it was very difficult to secure funding for this topic at the time, and NIDILRR's willingness to do so was the catalyst for a career in rehabilitation research with a public health emphasis that has been the hallmark of his work since the Switzer Fellowship.
Additional Information
Note: This is one of several NIDILRR grant programs. Congress provides an appropriation for NIDILRR as a whole; see the main entry for NIDILRR, CFDA # 84.133. The amounts listed here are a portion of the NIDILRR appropriation.

You can't ask for well-thought-out changes off day 1, week 1, or mostly even month 1 play...and that's when the game is out and everyone's in the lab.
I was thinking about that too. Since I'm not American can anybody please link me to list of states' abbrevations?Instead of just country, people should be putting their states too. No one wants to deal with EC vs. WC. =/

Instead of Dwelling, let's evaluate
The Red Sox lost their game to the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday (2/26) 3-2, and they lost today's game to the Rays 10-4. Their record may be 0-3, but instead of dwelling on the losses, at this point, it's probably better to analyze why the Red Sox lost.
15 Comments
Elizabeth, on the face yeah, the scores look "bad" – but I agree with you. The players we knew would do well did do well. As for the others – they did as expected. And as expected they need more experience. I am not nervous. I'm just happy that they are playing!
Spring Training is just fun I have decided. The Indians aren't doing too great either but our starters are doing well and our relievers are working stuff out. It is fun to watch guys go out there and work through real game situations that don't actually mean anything. Have a great time at Fort Meyers tomorrow. I am jealous. I want to go to Spring Training so bad!
Julia: Yes, that's exactly what this is all about!!
Melissa: It's like practices, that's exactly what it is, and exactly what they need to get back in the routine. And thanks!
Sounds fun! I'm feeling a win tomorrow! Spring Training doesn't reflect the Red Sox stats because Dice-K and other guys will training for the WBC.
Bob, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Bob: Plus, we're giving all the minor leaguers a chance and everyone is rusty. It's still fun.
If you see Rocco signing, go on down, he is always loves to sign for women.
By the way, the game today was a bit better than the score. Bowden just had a few pitches up in the zone and got rocked. That happens in the first couple of innings. That is why the teams put the prospects up against the big boys early in camp. It gives them a barometer of how they handle pressure and can play against great competition.
Gonzalez is just a guy who needs to use the corners more, but he is also a good budding pitcher. The first two weeks of games are basically the teams feeling out some of the young guys before the first rounds of cuts and reassignments to the minor league camp.
Nothing to worry about yet.
Rays Renegade
They will win tomorrow and you will get an autograph. Just believe and it will be done!
Look on the bright side: these games are just to see where everyone's at after the offseason, and when the real season starts the Sox will be in usual form.
Yeah – I never put any merit in Spring Training. Everyone is just practicing. And April is a bit of a warm up, too for that matter.
Have FUN tomorrow!! Can't wait to see your pix.
Rays Renegade: I didn't see Rocco😦, but I saw plenty of others. Ah, now I see what happened with Bowden and Gonzalez. I wish I could see the games live.
Aaron: YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!! More on that tomorrow
Caroline: Yup, you're right, and to filter out the guys from AAA, AA and A.
Jen: Indeed it is, and I'd be happy to e-mail you the pics.
OK. I take back what I said. Buchholz pitched two scoreless innings?! Suddenly, Spring Training does matter – just a little bit more to me. LOL!
I giggled at the thought Red Sox lose to Pirates, but it it preseason. Go O's!!
Jen: LOL. It matters but it doesn't! Crazy right?
Orangebird: We were leading 2-0 until the ninth inning, but all is well. I hope your O's do well, just not tomorrow :p. I really want to see them! They play in Ft. Lauderdale which is like 30 min from my house.
The Sox should give George Kottaras some legit AB's in ST to show his stuff, because this kid can flat out hit! Saw him play in the 2004 Athens Olympics, and knew he was going to be great. I think he should be the "Catcher of the Future". He's the 4th Greek to play for the Sox, along with Harry Agganis (1B), Gus Niarhos (C), and Bob Chakales (P). Did I mention he's Spartan?
Chris: I saw a bit of him yesterday, he did alright– but I'd like to see more of him. Did you see him live?? Wow, I didn't know that those guys were Greek. Pretty cool. Being a Spartan give 'em an edge.

Obama's messy wordsSeptember 03,2014There are things that you think and things that you say.
Theres what you reckon with
privately and what you utter publicly.
There are discussions suitable for a lecture hall and those that befit the bully pulpit.
These sets overlap but arent the same. Has President Barack Obama lost sight of that?
Its a question fairly asked after his statement last week that we dont have a strategy yet for dealing with Islamic extremists in Syria. Not having a strategy, at least a fixed, definitive one, is understandable. The options arent great, the answers arent easy and the stakes are enormous.
But announcing as much? Its hard to see any percentage in that. It gives no comfort to Americans. It puts no fear in our enemies.
Just as curious was what Obama followed that up with.
Speaking at a fundraiser Friday, he told donors, If you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart. He had that much right.
But it wasnt the whole of his message. In a statement of the obvious, he also said, The world has always been messy. And he coupled that with a needless comparison, advising Americans to bear in mind that the rise of the Islamic State, the rapacity of Putin, the bedlam in Libya and the rest of it were not something that is comparable to the challenges we faced during the Cold War.
Set aside the question of how germane the example of the Cold War is. When the gut-twisting image stuck in your head is of a masked madman holding a crude knife to the neck of an American on his knees in the desert, when youre reading about crucifixions in the 21st century, when youre hearing about women sold by jihadists as sex slaves, and when British leaders have just raised the threat level in their country to severe, the last thing that you want to be told is that its par for the historical course, all a matter of perspective and not so cosmically dire.
Wheres the reassurance or the sense of urgency in that?
And maybe the second-to-last thing that you want to be told is that technology and social media amplify peril in a new way and may be the reason youre feeling especially on edge. Obama said something along those lines, too. Its not the terror, folks. Its the tweets.
Is the president consoling us or himself? Its as if hes taken his interior monologue and wired it to speakers in the town square. And its rattling.
When he came along, many of us were fed up with misinformation and Mission Accomplished theatrics and bluster. America had paid a price for them in young lives.
And we were tired and leery of an oversimplified, Hollywood version of world affairs, of the Manichaean lexicon of evil empire and axis of evil. We longed for something less rash and more nuanced.
But theres plenty of territory between the bloated and bellicose rhetoric of then and what Obama is giving us now. Hes adopted a strange language of self-effacement, with notes of defeatism, reminding us that America, as the most powerful country on earth, still does not control everything; that we must be content at times with singles and doubles in lieu of home runs; that not doing stupid stuff is its own accomplishment.
This is all true. Its in tune with our awareness of our limits. And it reflects a prudent disinclination to repeat past mistakes and overreach.
But that doesnt make it the right message for the worlds lone superpower (whether we like it or not) to articulate and disseminate. That doesnt make it savvy, constructive PR. And the low marks that Americans currently give the president, especially for foreign policy, suggest that its not exactly what we were after.
In The Washington Post on Sunday, Karen DeYoung and Dan Balz observed that while Obamas no-strategy remark may have had the virtue of candor, it in no way projected an image of presidential resolve or decisiveness at a time of international turmoil.
And no matter what Obama ultimately elects to do, such an image is vital. But in its place are oratorical shrugs and an aura of hesitancy, even evasion, as he and John Kerry broadcast that the United States shouldnt be expected to act on its own. Isnt that better whispered to our allies and negotiated behind closed doors?
Echoing Hillary Clinton to some degree, Sen. Dianne Feinstein just complained that Obama was perhaps too cautious.
Not in what he says, hes not. Not when he draws and then erases red lines. Not with his recent adjectives.
Messy is my kitchen at the end of a long weekend. Whats happening in much of Syria and Iraq is monstrous.

5) http://corespinalfitness.com/downloads/res...inscoliosis.pdf Measured resistance torso rotation exercises to stabilise or improve scoliotic curves, does it work? The sample is small, so one has to be very carefull to draw conclusions. Still, the theoretical background and the priciples behind the approach are fascinating, worth reading just for that.

City Hall
Moore City Hall originated in the 1940's at 117 E. Main Street. A long narrow red brick building with a one-bay garage that housed one fire truck. City Hall itself was two rooms, about the size of a garage.
Sometime between 1965 and 1970, an addition was built on the east side of the existing City Hall. This addition had a place for council meetings and more citizens began to attend. In a year or two, the original building was razed and a two-story fire and police office building was added. A formal council chamber/court room was built on the second floor.
About 1972 or 1973, a metal addition that is now the east wing of that structure was built. After a few years, once again the city hall building was not big enough. In 1983 the property at 301 N. Broadway was bought and a city hall was designed. In March of 1986, Moore City Hall was moved into the new building at 301 N. Broadway.

A Kentucky man is drawing international attention for his decidedly "raw" diet.
Derek Nance claims he's eaten nothing but raw meat for the past five years, and only from animals he's slaughtered himself.
The 30-year-old told The Huffington Post he adopted the strictly carnivorous diet after battling an ongoing digestive issue that made him drop weight from constant vomiting.
After attempting to go grain-free, trying a Mediterranean diet and then going Paleo without results, he went all-in for raw meat only.
"I've physically gotten stronger and more physically robust," Nance told The Huffington Post.
He consumes the entire carcass of animals he kills, fat and innards included, and while he prefers lamb, he'll eat just about any form of meat.
Even rotting meat is OK because Nance believes it has probiotic qualities, according to Vice.com.
So would he ever go back to a more conventional diet?
"If they haul me away, kicking and screaming," Nance told Vice. "Then maybe."

Chairman Barnes asked for a motion to extend a long term lease to the Greenbrier County Library through the City of Lewisburg, which would allow that organization to raise money for the project. He said an agreement cannot be signed prior to obtaining bond counsel approval. Chairman Barnes again asked for a motion for a long term lease, noting that this is pending the direction of bond counsel. Mr. Frost commented that we should wait until we get an answer from the bond counsel and we should table this action. Dr. Aikens questioned what this bond issue has to do with leasing of property. Mr. Kantor responded that the money to build the library is coming from bond money earmarked for this school. Dr. Aikens said this appears to him to be two different issues—the bond issue and the lease to the land to which we hold the deed. Dr. Aikens made a motion to lease the property to the city of Lewisburg for $1 a year for 99 years. Senator Guills indicated that this was a $2.6 million project and that $1.6 million will come from the City of Lewisburg. He indicated that the $1 million coming from the bond issue, because of this the library is going to be a huge benefit to NRCTC. Senator Guills said there would not be any problem in leasing that property subject to satisfaction of bond counsel, adding that this in no way jeopardizes or anyway creates a problem for Bluefield State College. He encouraged the BOG to approve the lease of land for the library. Anne Crowe indicated that if the bond counsel says that we cannot do that, and we go ahead with this that we may have a liability if we go to the next step. After further discussion a motion was made and seconded (LAikens/JForlines) to extend a long-term lease for the Greenbrier County Library with the conditions that the opinion of bond counsel does not preclude the transaction and that the $1 million from the bond issue can be used and if the library board does not continue with the project that the lease would be terminated. There were six votes for the motion, Anne Crowe voted against the motion, and Daniel Frost abstained from voting on the motion. Motion carried.
Highway Department Property
Mr. Barnes indicated that this building was an excellent facility except that the roof needed to be repaired. Dr. Perkins mentioned that this building would help accommodate the overflow of students at the current NRCTC building. Mr. Kantor mentioned that the cost of the roof would be NRCTC's responsibility and not the responsibility of Bluefield State College. Dr. Perkins said that condition was included in their report. A motion was made and seconded (DFrost/KPruitt) to accept the highway department property. Motion carried.
Executive Session
A motion was made and seconded (DFrost/KPruitt) to go into executive session at 8:05 P.M.
A motion was made and seconded (NKantor/LAikens) to go back into regular session at 8:20 P. M.
A motion was made and seconded (DFrost/NKantor) to change the Human Resource Director position from classified to non-classified. Motion carried.
Academic/Student Affairs
Dr. Eaves announced the following:
1. The ABET accreditation site visit has been completed. There were a few concerns and Mr. Hart and faculty will respond to the concerns within ten days. However, the College will not be notified of the final ABET decision until July, 2005;

6. The Student Support Services program at BSC has applied for re-funding for the next four years. The grant was submitted on August 30 and he commended Ms. Carolyn Kirby,Interim Director for her outstanding job in completing and submitting the grant;
7. He had hoped to present academic programs to the Board at this evening's meeting. He said the deans and faculty are working diligently--looking at areas for academic concentrations and the feasibility of those being in degree majors, looking at different academic minors and creating new majors. He said he hopes to have this information for presentation at the Board's November meeting, and;
8. Dr. Eaves reviewed a summary of comparison of majors and minors, as well as a summary of evening programs.
There was a lengthy discussion concerning the different accreditation visits. Dr. Frank Ball was concerned because the School of Business and the Education program have both lost faculty and the accrediting team will look at this. Dr. Walker said the College is at that minimum range and is not in danger of losing accreditation.
Enrollment Management
Mr. John Cardwell distributed a one-page enrollment report. The enrollment census date is October 1 and the final year end date is November 1. There still exist numerous public relations challenges for the College, seeking to counter the news related to, and rumors arising from, the 2004 legislative session.

President's Report

The main topic concerned student housing. Dr. Walker asked Mr. Kantor to give a summary of a recent visit to Huntington to look at student housing there.

It was suggested that a short presentation or summary proposal for that project is needed.

With no other business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
