Police: Report of man with rifle near Vt schools was falseThe Associated Press | February 16,2013COLCHESTER Police say a report of a man with a rifle near two schools in Colchester turned out to be a false alarm.
Police received information Thursday afternoon about two students who said they saw a man holding what appeared to be a rifle in the woods near the Mallets Bay School.
Police put that school and Colchester Middle School on lockdown while they searched the area.
They later found a man surveying property near the area. He was wearing clothing similar to what the students described and was carrying surveying tools that may have been mistaken for a firearm. He had no weapons.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Tonya Garner: Freedom Newspapers
Perched on the front lawn of the Clovis Community College, the spy plane looked strikingly similar to a praying mantis.
Produced by Boeing, the unmanned aerial vehicle known as the ScanEagle was brought to Clovis in preparation for training classes scheduled to begin today at the college.
Boeing, the world's leading aerospace company and the largest combined manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft, will use CCC classrooms to train company personnel to operate and maintain the 4-foot robotic airplane, according to Boeing spokesman Chick Ramey.
Flight training will be held at the Melrose Bombing Range.
Ramey said Boeing will train 12 individuals in a two-month course with new classes beginning every 30 days. Ramey said the initial group of trainees will be made up of Boeing employees, but as military customers purchase the ScanEagle system, service men and women will join the training program as well.
Clovis Community College President John Neibling said he was excited about the new training program.
"This is a great opportunity to partner with a great company (Boeing)," Neibling said. "Anything like this just adds to our (CCC) opportunities."
The president said the college has been working closely with Boeing to ensure the facilities meet classroom requirements associated with UAV training.
Clovis banker Randy Harris played an integral role in the new partnership between the college and Boeing, according to CCC officials. Harris said discussions regarding a new training site began with Boeing 10 months ago.
Although Boeing will be sharing air space at the Melrose Bombing Range with the Air Force Special Operations 16th Wing, Harris said he foresees no problems between the trainees and military personnel.
"Air space will not be a problem because the Boeing trainees will only need a few hours," Harris said.
According to Harris, the program is "starting off slow" but could eventually grow to classes of 200.
Boeing Training Systems and Services Vice President Keith Hertzenberg said Clovis is an ideal training location for the new robotic airplane.
"The site has everything we need to accomplish efficient ScanEagle training, and in turn, we expect our presence will result in a positive economic impact to the community."
Ramey said Clovis was chosen as a testing site due to its airspace access, weather, infrastructure and affordability.
"This endeavor complements the military," Harris said, "and there will be many more to come."
The ScanEagle is currently used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. The unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with an infrared camera, located in the nose of the drone, which is capable of providing 15 real-time hours of data. While capable of flying 16,000 feet, the ScanEagle is most commonly flown at 1,600 feet.
ScanEagle is launched autonomously via a pneumatic catapult launcher. It is retrieved using a patented "Skyhook" system in which the UAV catches a rope hanging from a 50-foot pole. The system is runway independent and can be operated from moving vehicles and ships.

Re: Progress on Judicial Confirmations (But Not Enough)
Last night, the Senate confirmed three more of President Obama's judicial nominees, bringing the number of judges confirmed in this Congress to 10. Although these confirmations represent marked improvement over the glacial pace of judicial confirmations that persisted through the last Congress, they still fall short of what we need to address the ongoing judicial vacancy crisis.
Currently, almost 100 seats on the federal judiciary sit empty, and that number is expected to grow as judges continue to retire. In 41 of those instances, the vacancies have been declared "Judicial Emergencies" by the Administrative Office of the Courts. Although these emergencies rarely gain much public attention, lack of judges on the federal bench has significantly slowed the administration of justice in the judicial branch. While the long delays might not cause lasting harm to deep pocketed corporations who can afford to wait years for cases to be resolved, they can be devastating for individuals and small businesses who need their day in court.
The Senate needs to make headway towards easing the vacancy crisis by confirming President Obama's nominees in a timely manner. The regular consideration of nominations by the Senate in the 112th Congress is clearly an improvement over the last Congress, but for courts struggling under the weight of enormous caseloads, the pace is far from enough. Yet GOP senators continue to slow walk the confirmation process and prevent qualified nominees from taking their seats.
Of the ten nominees who have already been confirmed, not a single vote was cast against the confirmation of any of them—neither in the Judiciary Committee nor on the floor.
Steve Jones (Northern District of Georgia)
Amy Totenberg (Northern District of Georgia)
unanimous consent
James Graves (Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals)
unanimous consent
Edward Davila (Northern District of California)
Diana Saldana (Southern District of Texas)
Paul Holmes (Western District of Arkansas)
Marco Hernandez (Oregon)
unanimous consent
Sue Myerscough (Central District of Illinois)
unanimous consent
James Shadid (Central District of Illinois)
Anthony Battaglia (Southern District of California)
Yet despite this broad support, these nominees ended up waiting an average of more than two and a half months after first being reported by the Judiciary Committee before being voted on by the full Senate.
In the first two years of the Bush administration, the President's nominees faced significantly shorter delays—an average of only 26 days for Circuit Court nominees, and 25 days for District Court.
All of the nominees confirmed this year suffered long delays due to the GOP obstruction that dominated the last Congress, and it's important that the Senate not allow a similar backlog of judicial nominees to develop as the President continues to send nominees to the Senate. At the beginning of the week, nine judicial nominees were pending on the Senate calendar. Even with the three confirmations this week, that number will increase to 12 by week's end: Senator Leahy announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee was on the verge of approving six more nominees.
While the Senate has made some steps towards fixing the broken confirmation process, there is still a long way left to go to make sure every American has access to a judicial system that works.

Honor student Hadiya Pendleton urged her friends to stay away from gangs.
"It is your job as students to say no to gangs and yes to a great future," she told her peers in a 2008 Web video.
The 15-year-old was remembered Saturday as a victim of gang gun violence at a funeral attended by first lady Michelle Obama.
Hadiya was killed January 29, just a week after she performed at President Barack Obama's second inauguration. She was killed in the Hyde Park neighborhood near Obama's Chicago home. Her murder was the 42nd in the city this year.
A handwritten note from President Barack Obama to Hadiya's parents was published on the funeral program: "Dear Cleopatra and Nathaniel, Michelle and I just wanted you to know how heartbroken we are to have heard about Hadiya's passing.
"We know that no words from us can soothe the pain, but rest assured that we are praying for you, and that we will continue to work as hard as we can to end this senseless violence. God Bless, Barack Obama."
She "marched by me and the president and the rest of you on Inauguration Day, leading with pride and promise her high school band," Vice President Joe Biden told Democratic members of Congress this week.
"This was no ordinary child," he said. "She was a child who had used social media, urging her friends to speak out -- don't join gangs. And now she's gone."
The Obama administration has focused on reducing gun violence since 20 children and six adults were shot and killed December 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The president has proposed gun legislation and signed executives orders aimed at reducing gun violence. His plan includes a ban on assault weapon sales, restrictions on the capacity of gun magazines and background checks for every gun sale.
The first lady, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett -- all Chicagoans -- attended the funeral. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. also attended.
Hundreds of family, friends and classmates paid their respects. Members of Hadiya's Crystal Elegance Majorette squad walked down the church aisle in their black and yellow warm-up suits.
Nathaniel Pendleton, Hadiya's father, said on CNN's "Early Start" that his daughter was excited to meet the president and be part of inauguration. He said her death should be part of the national dialogue on preventing gun violence.
"When we talked about this as a family, we recognized the implications of Hadiya's death in this debate," he said. "We believe that this debate, it should be a multifaceted approach. ... It shouldn't be a Democratic approach; it shouldn't be a Republican approach.
"Gun laws should be, somehow, created in a way that's going to make it harder for the bad guys to get guns and make it easier for the law-abiding citizens who want to have them," he said.
More than 500 people were killed in Chicago last year.
"We have a responsibility to see a stop to this," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.
A CNN/ORC poll conducted in December found that 58% of adults favor banning large ammunition magazines and 56% favor a ban on semiautomatic weapons.

Welcome to Old Street Tool
To our customers:
We've been fortunate to have the best customers any business could hope for. We value this and sincerely thank every one. Most who would be interested in ordering know we have a large back order list and getting planes from us often involves an unreasonable wait.
As we face the uncertainties of growing older we've begun looking at our back order list with concern. The large list makes it impossible to predict delivery dates. We also face an untenable disconnect between quoted prices and ever increasing material and overhead costs. Because of this we've suspended accepting any new orders for hand planes until current orders are filled. Orders for DVDs will still be gratefully accepted.
It will take several years to work through our backorders. Then we'll reassess how we want to proceed, but we intend to continue working in some fashion as long as we can. We want to remain accessible and feel our list of planes is instructive regarding the system of essential planes required in hand tool informed woodworking. For these reasons we'll keep our web site live but have removed prices from the list of planes.
Thank you,
Larry Williams
Don McConnell
Old Street Tool, Inc.
We now have four DVDs. These are packed with the information one needs to make, tune, maintain and use traditional side escapement planes.

I still haven't figured out how to get anything done around the house. I've tried different carriers so I can do my chores, but she usually only last about 10 minutes. During the day, if she naps, she wakes up if I put her down. Sometimes I can sit her down to watch a baby Einstein video but I feel bad for doing it. She screams if anyone holds her besides me :eek: which rules out having Dad take care of her while I do chores. I'm losing my mind. I love my little girl, but I can't keep myself sane.

Students spreading love to less fortunate in community
Students at Evergreen Elementary School are spreading the love to those who are less fortunate in our community as they hand packaged enough food Tuesday to serve 10,000 people through Second Harvest Food Bank.
Think of them as meals ready to eat. A little rice, soy, some dried vegetables and vitamins.
"The idea behind them is to feed as many people as you can," Tina Heimbigner at Evergreen Elementary said. "[It] helps them to have a balanced meal even though it isn't a lot of food."
"They're just awesome kids. They're very invested in this project," Heimbigner said.
The food will be donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank and given to those less fortunate. The message this gesture sends wasn't lost on even the youngest helpers who were packaging the food Tuesday.
Jeremy Affeldt's non-profit Generation Alive made this act of kindness possible as they paid for the food.
"They actually make the meals, they're involved in the process, they get to feel what its like to help someone, and we're hoping to really change their hearts so they begin to see that living outside of themselves is even more fun than a video game," Darrin Duty, executive director of Generation Alive, said.
In the end, it wasn't about making a big donation to Second Harvest Food Bank. It was about teaching the kids.

My DH has become very interested in wanting to give our baby who is 12 1/2 weeks old "tastes" of our food. He wants to put things like milkshake, frosting, ect. on his finger and see if the baby likes it.
I know nothing about solid feeding...considering our son is only 12 1/2 weeks old. SO, I was wondering what your thoughts/experiences were with this. IS it possible that letting the baby "taste" things will make him sick? Or hurt him in some way?

Spring in the Catskills is off the hook!
Barbara and I sampled hors d'oeuvres and sipped cocktails (featuring Bootlegger 21 Vodka) before joining the throngs waiting to have their portraits taken during an authentic 1920s film noir photo session with ND Pro Media's Nuby DeLeon. The shots (developed on the spot) came out ultra-cool, and Nuby, along with the chamber, created memories for us all that will last a lifetime. Between the baconstuffed scallops, the salmon canapés and the filet mignon, I barely had room for the cream puffs, cannolis and eclairs that followed, but Dharma had sampled the honey glazed ham and grilled vegetables, too, so dessert was out of the question for her. Between fishing, dancing, wining and dining, my weekend in the Catskills was delightful, delicious and totally off the hook!

For Your Consideration
As we look over the baseball season and all the stories that emerged, we also start putting the pieces together, trying to see what parts of the story are most important. This process often leads to discussions of who deserves which award and even when it's a clear-cut race, that doesn't mean that people won't still yell long and hard about who they think should win.
So let me jump into the fray early on and start campaigning for a couple of my choices.
Let's start with the American League where the manager of the year is obviously Jimmy
Leyland. Despite the whole "losing the division his team led for five
months on the last day of the regular season" thing, you have to admit
that it's pretty impressive that he was even able to remain standing
for 162 games. Seriously, his lungs are like little tar flavored
prunes. If he's an organ donor, the only person who could use his lungs
is a researcher at the Kingsford charcoal company trying to figure out
how to pack even more carbon into every little bricquet.
And on the NL side there are many people who think that Albert Pujols should win the MVP award. And despite his team's ignominious crash out of the first round of the playoffs, the argument is a strong one. However, let me suggest another possibility. Rinku Singh. Ok, so he technically isn't really eligible since he didn't even play in the majors this season. But, think of this. In a nation of nearly 1.2 billion people, he is the first one of them to win a professional baseball game. That's one small step for a man but one giant leap for, uh, India, I guess. And as if that wasn't enough, he's also the only reason that most Americans even realize the Pirates still play baseball. Those are pretty strong credentials, my friends.
So as you start debating the relative merits of the possible winners of this years' awards, take a second and consider the RSBS inspired ticket of Leyland and Singh. They may not be winners in baseball but they sure are winners in life.
Happy Friday!

I agree with Jimmy leyland being manager of the year. He has done a sensational job with those Tigers.
This is a joke. Scioscia. No contest whatsoever.
Jimmy may not live to accept it. I still love the shirtless photo you had of him. Hilarious.
That was funny as sh*t, Allen…especially the Leland/Lung(lol)/Kingsford bit…LMAO!
All that, AND the ingredients for a bad Singh/Pirates/Outsourcing/Tech Support/"Hi, my name is 'Brandon'…" joke to boot!

Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
The U.S. Government supports the Philippine Government's efforts to promote good governance and sustained inclusive growth in the Philippines. These efforts, which are consistent with the Partnership for Growth (PFG) between the U.S. and Philippine Governments, focus on addressing the binding constraints to sustained, more inclusive economic growth in the Philippines.
Good morning. It is my great pleasure to be here today on behalf of the United States Agency for International Development! I bring you greetings from the U.S. Ambassador to Zambia, Mr. Eric Schultz, and thank the Honorable Given Lubinda, Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, for opening this important two-day event. And I am delighted to note that the important innovations developed over the last four years through this program are the result of cooperative efforts between international and Zambian scientists, working together, in Zambia, to help the Zambian people.
USAID established the Philippine-American Fund - or the Phil-Am Fund - just over a year ago. It is a $24 million grant facility and to date, we have awarded grants to twelve deserving Filipino civil society organizations.
Days ago the United Nations agreed on a Post-2015 Development Agenda with 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Two weeks earlier, agreement was reached on the Addis Ababa Action Agenda for financing those inspiring and very ambitious goals. In many ways, Vietnam has become a model for the MDGs and it did so in collaboration with important development partners, including the US, and with the support of many international NGOs, including many based in the US. Today we should celebrate how that came to be, so that we can do even better on our new shared agenda.
Our Power Africa initiative has been leveraging private capital to invest in electrification all across the continent. And our preliminary goal was 10,000 megawatts; now we're looking at 30,000 megawatts, and we're well on our way.
According to recent data from the International Monetary Fund, women's full economic participation would add as much as 13 percent to India's per capita income. When women are guaranteed access to education and opportunity, they are able to make better choices for themselves and their families; their children are healthier; they live longer; and they are accepted and participate as full members of their communities. When women are empowered to move forward, they bring the rest of society with them.
On behalf of the U.S. Government, I would like to congratulate The Mind Museum for the launch of "A Glass of the Sea": An exhibition on the Coral Triangle.
We are here at a pivotal moment in history. The world today faces increasingly complex challenges, from the worst refugee crisis since World War II to a changing climate. These challenges span across borders, and impact all sectors… They are too complex for traditional approaches… They are too enormous for any single funding stream to address alone, especially given our limited resources... And, the world's population is projected to grow to 9 billion by 2050, putting an even greater strain on those resources. So, as we begin down our path to meet the future sustainable development goals, we must seek solutions that help us catalyze further investment, and make the most out of every single resource available to us.
Yesterday, I had the honor of joining Commissioner Mimica and Secretary Lew as they signed our joint commitment to supporting Africa's power sector, which included an impressive financial commitment of $2.8 billion in grants for sustainable energy activities over the next five years. And, later today, Director-General Petri Gornitzka and I will sign a memorandum of understanding that solidifies Sweden's commitment to catalyze more than $1 billion in investments to support Power Africa. These commitments will make our partnerships with the European Union and Sweden even stronger. And, they will keep us on a path toward achieving Power Africa's goals of adding 30,000 megawatts of additional power capacity and bringing electricity to 60 million households and businesses across sub-Saharan Africa.
The United States shares the African Union's strong commitment to agricultural development and global food security, and we are proud to stand with you as partners in this important work. That is because we know what supporting agriculture and nutrition can do for a country and its people. Growth in the agricultural sector is at least twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors. So, when President Obama called on leaders around the world to end global hunger and poverty, he emphasized agriculture as the best path to reach that goal. This is the idea behind the program—Feed the Future. Inspired by the African Union's work through CAADP, Feed the Future promotes country-owned approaches and supports new opportunities and technologies for small-holder farmers.

Expert Q & A Answers About genital pimples
Is this a pimple or do I have herpes?
Can you get a pimple on your outer vaginal area? My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex for more than three years, but I get tested every year and I haven't tested positive for anything so far. Recently, when he inserted his penis, I felt some discomfort...not inside, but when his penis hit the outside. Then I found this bump, very sore to the touch and looks like a pimple. Once I popped it, it didn't hurt as much and it's slowly going away. Should I be concerned about herpes?

Librarys Food for Fines program supports the Laurier Student Food Bank
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 26/13
For the seventh year running, the Laurier Library is sponsoring the Food for Fines program. Both the Waterloo and Kitchener campuses are participating this year.
Between Nov. 19 and Dec. 16, you can help support the Laurier Student Food Bank and reduce your Laurier Library fines by donating non-perishable, non-expired food items at the Library Services and Help Desk (or the Kitchener main desk).
Since 2005, well over 5,000 lbs of food have been donated to local food banks through this program. This year, for the first time, Library fines will be reduced by $3 for each non-perishable, non-expired food item that is brought in, with a maximum of a $15 reduction.
The Laurier Student Food Bank opened in October 2006 to help students in need to meet their basic nutritional needs. The service, which is completely anonymous, is run by students and is part of the Food Bank of Waterloo Region network.

April 2, 2008: The core of the spectacular globular cluster Omega Centauri glitters with the combined light of 2 million stars. The entire cluster contains 10 million stars, and is among the biggest and most massive of some 200 globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way Galaxy. Omega Centauri lies 17,000 light-years from Earth. Astronomers at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany and the University of Texas at Austin have reported on the possible detection of an intermediate-mass black hole in the core of Omega Centauri.
The result is primarily based on spectroscopic measurements obtained with the Gemini South observatory in Chile which suggest the stars are moving around the central core of the cluster at higher than expected velocities. Among the possible explanations for these speedy stars -- and the one favored by their study -- is that an intermediate-mass black hole of approximately 40,000 solar masses resides at the center of Omega Centauri. Its powerful gravitational field speeds up the motions of stars near the core. Hubble images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys were used in key areas in support of this study: to help pinpoint the center of the cluster, as well as to measure the amount of starlight at the cluster center. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Paranal, Chile, team members Eva Noyola and Karl Gebhardt are planning to obtain follow-up observations to help confirm the existence of an intermediate-mass black hole. The Hubble images were taken in June 2002.See the rest:

Fools say Politics and Religion have no place on Relic and Treasure hunting forums. Usually those that say this are lap dogs for our current failed President. But putting that aside, most are ignorant of the fact that just like everything in life, Politics & Religion are two of the most important factors in any topic, but especially when it comes to Relic and Treasure Hunting.
Being ignorant of politics and the effect politics today have on our relic and treasure hobby and industry is just plain foolishness, and those that don't see what is happening to this hobby and industry because of poltiics are just ignorant fools. The government owned lands in this country far out number the number of acres in private hands. They will tell you it is for the "environment" or the "natural wonders" this nation is graced with, but in reality these lands attempt to tie up outlaw caches or history of this nation's land that the people of this nation can not even touch, discover, dig up and tell its story. Why would one cent of debt or taxes need to be paid if only these lands would be put back into the hands of private ownership? It has been proven over and over again that private ownership of land is actually best for the "environment" and preservation of "natural wonders" than government mismanagement. My opinion on the subject insists that no land but the land set aside in the Constitution be owned by our Government. Even parks should be held in a public trust rather than mismanaged by government agencies.
You may disagree, and if you do, that is great, but open your mouth and discuss why you would think such a nutty thing. Then prepare to be taken to school and held accountable for your failed understanding. It is in these arguments that we truly find our greatness.
It is not in compromise but instead in the best argument being victorious that keeps our nation strong and keeps the silly -ism's that now rule unable to take root.
Religion is another topic that they don't want you to talk or discuss. This is utter stupidity of the highest level. It is our faith and religion that define us not only as relic and treasure hunters but also human beings. Some have no faith, or try to sell us on this facade. Even those that claim to have no religion just replace Christ for deities they worship such as "science" and "reason" that all essentially can be boiled down to leaps of faith if they were honest in their discipline.
Let's not forget that each and every relic and treasure we recover or chase was lost or cached by someone that had faith and most had a religion they held dear. To understand the method to the cache madness, you must know what religion they held as most clues will be related to their faith. After all, they relied upon their faith to protect their cached wealth so that it could be retrieved later.
Many of us rely upon our faith to find, recover and tell the stories we dig up and all these stories have a political and religious importance in finding the accurate story. Many feel guided to find their amazing finds. Others rely upon their metal detectors to beep, replacing faith with what they perceive is science.
Personally, I have a faith in Christ, a Norwegian Pietist Lutheran religion that was passed down to me through my heritage that is also intertwined with politics that believed and still do in the exceptionalism and "In God we trust" nature of our Freedom and Liberty in the pursuit of happiness, this American Dream found with the unrelenting Pioneer Spirit.
For any relic and treasure hunter to set aside politics or religion is a fools game. Simply by our hobby, industry and this temerity we can not. There is no way we can do what we do each and every day without standing firm to our beliefs and ideals.

Not on view
A native of Arezzo in the region of Tuscany, Spinello was likely born in the mid-fourteenth century. He is recorded as working in Lucca, Pisa and Siena in addition to his birthplace, and the fact that he received numerous commissions shows that his artistic skills were clearly valued. In Florence he worked on an important polyptych for the Church of Santa FelicitĂ , one of the oldest early Christian churches in the city.
Spinello's characterization of each of the four saints here is both lively and specific to their personalities. The striding motion of Christopher, patron saint of travelers, who digs his staff into a stream—cleverly indicated by flowing lines of white pigment—conveys a physicality distinct from the self-contained and static pose of the elderly Anthony the Abbot, the founder of monasticism. A similar individualization characterizes the two female saints: Catherine, who stands on a wheel, the symbol of her martyrdom, and the martyred Lucy, whose name means "light."

Has anyone tried this pump? Avent claims it is the most natural pump you can use and women have gotten excellent results. I understand it operates like the Isis hand pump and then the electric motor takes over.
I used an Ameda Purely Yours for a year with my son. I suffered from serious supply issues and my pump had to be replaced once becuase the motor wore out. I DO NOT want to stuggle this time like I did before. (22 weeks !!)
If anyone has any advice-- I am thinking it might be best to rent this time but the rentals pumps are so large and heavy!!!!
If the new Avent pump is as great as they claim, maybe its worth the money?

that does give some good perspective!
there is a holiday party planned for my work, middle of the day. my first thought was "can i bring my kids?" when i asked i was told that since it was the middle of the day and i would have been working anyway they didn't see why i would so i am not going, i took the day off. no one at work gets it, i actually think some people are upset.
here is my point of view though: if i am not really needed at work i want to be with my kids or have my kids with my dh, not with a caretaker. my lo is in dc and my older son is in an after school program. i want to be with them, not watching people have drinks and mingle. not that there is anything wrong with drinking any mingling, but i want to be with my kids. so much of my time is spent away from them that i want to be with them if i can. the people around me do not understand that. its frustrating.

Teachers and administrators across the state are dealing with a new way of evaluating teacher performance this year; it involves more testing of students and more visits by administrators into classrooms.
As part of the process, the New York State Department of Education has approved 107 different rubrics, or sets of standards, for evaluating teacher performance. Education consultant Kim Marshall designed one such rubric, which is being used by Sullivan West and Eldred central school districts. On October 5 Marshall visited Sullivan West High School in Lake Huntington to address teachers and administrators from the two schools and some from the Monticello School District, to explain the new teacher evaluation process.
Marshall said the way teachers have been evaluated for the past 40 years involved a pre-observation conference, a full lesson observation, a write-up and a post-observation conference, and he said that method was not effective.
He said a study, done several years ago, found that teacher evaluations showed that 99% of teachers in the country were excellent or satisfactory "and when this came out in papers people laughed at us, they scoffed at educators, they said, whatever you're using is totally bogus, because human beings aren't built that way."
What is new now is that administrators are trying to identify four levels of teaching: level four is exceptional teaching; level three is what Marshall called "good, solid teaching;" level two is mediocre teaching; and level one is where the teacher may need to find a new profession.
Marshall said there is not a lot of level-one teaching in schools, but there is quite a bit of level-two teaching that he observes as he walks around unannounced into classrooms with principals around the state. He said because of mediocre teaching, "What's happening in many schools—not in the best schools and not in the best classes—but there is a widening achievement gap especially by race and social class and by learning disability."
He listed several examples of mediocre teaching, such as a teacher reading emails while the students work on a task, a teacher lecturing with students not paying attention and teachers calling only on students who already know the answer.
In an instant survey of about 100 of the educators in the room, conducted with electronic clickers Marshall handed out, more than half of those responding indicated that some of those practices happen at the local schools in Sullivan County. He said it's the job of administrators to deal with that kind of behavior, and the way to do that is not with the traditional method of teacher evaluations but with the new method.
The new method involves administrators making surprise visits into classrooms. He told a story of a teacher who prepared a lesson for an evaluation day. The principal cancelled the visit, and the lesson was withdrawn. Another principal came to the evaluation later, and the teacher brought out the lesson. The principal was critical of the lesson and the teacher said, "But the last three principals loved this lesson."
Another part of the evaluation is that student performance must be figured in, which means more tests for students at the beginning of the year to determine their level of knowledge about the subjects being taught.
Marshall said, "The goal of New York State is to get good teaching in every classroom every day, every year."

Spring 2015 - 61425 - PA397C - Advanced Empirical Methods for Policy Analysis
Multivariate Analysis for Policy Research
| Wilson, Robert H.
|Unique Number:
|Day & Time:
|W 9:00 am -12:00 pm
|Waitlist Information:
|For LBJ Students: UT Waitlist Information
|Final Exam Information:
|May 14, 2015 - 9:00am - 12:00pm SRH 3.122
Course Overview
In addition to the Introduction to Empirical Methods course in the common core, MPAff students are required to take another three-hour course in quantitative analysis, selected from among a set of courses focusing on the application of quantitative theory and techniques to policy analysis. Topics offered vary from year to year but include econometrics, demographic techniques, systems analysis, simulation modeling, and quantitative indicator methods. As the second course in the two-course MPAff quantitative sequence, this course is intended to provide students with an in-depth understanding and hands-on experience with a specific quantitative method useful in policy analysis. This course is usually taken during the second semester of the first year.
Section Description
This course examines the application of advanced statistical techniques to public policy analysis. The use of empirical techniques in developing an understanding of a policy issue, in analytical modeling, in making forecasts and in evaluating policies and programs will be covered. The limitations of empirical techniques in policy analysis will also be addressed. The course will cover the basics of multivariate regression analysis, use of categorical variables as independent and dependent variables, problems in regression analysis, forecasting, time series and panel data modeling, hierarchical modeling and simultaneous equations models. The course is cast in an applications mode rather than a theoretical or mathematical mode. Students will also become familiar with the STATA statistical package through several applications exercises.
Student progress will be evaluated on three types of work: (1) four problem sets (20% of the final grade) are designed to demonstrate competency over fundamentals and to provide practice in the application of econometric methods to policy issues; (2) two in-class exams (each accounting for 25% of the final grade; mid-term exam and a final exam scheduled during finals week); and (3) a term paper (30% of the final grade).

Intellectual Freedom Syllabi
United States and Canadian Library Schools
Rutgers University: Censorship, the Internet, Intellectual Freedom, and Youth
State University of New York at Buffalo: "An investigation into the ideal of freedom as it relates to human thought and communication and the effect on library and information resources and services. The effects of censorship, pressure-tactics, cultural pluralism, personal bias of the professional practitioner, the 'ism' problem, and the very utilization of the physical location for library and information are examined for the effect on equal access to materials. Professional librarian and information specialist concerns are examined and practical applications of principles are discussed in problem solving sessions."
University of Alberta: "Examines the central concepts of intellectual freedom and social responsibility and the range of related issues impacting different types of libraries."
University of North Carolina at Greensboro: "The course will address a range of issues dealing with intellectual freedom and libraries. The first section will examine the historical background and foundations of the concept of intellectual freedom in the United States, followed by a segment that looks at the question of the ownership of information. Traditional issues of censorship and pornography will be studied in depth. The problems surrounding of intellectual property, especially in the changing electronic environment will be considered in another section. Finally, access and privacy concerns will be approached in both their traditional and electronic format aspects. Ethical and legal frameworks will be used to consider the classic dilemma of democracy: that of where the individual's rights conflict with society as a whole."
University of Rhode Island: "LSC 513 Intellectual Freedom and Censorship (I or II, 3) Historical development andcurrent status of the concept of intellectual freedom and the restraints that past and present societies have imposed on it. Special attention given to the librarian's role in defense of intellectual freedom."
University of Washington: "Analysis of issues related to intellectual freedom with particular attention to implications for libraries and librarians. Includes consideration of the current legal climate, conformity vs. freedom in the modern world, the librarian as censor, social responsibility and individual freedom, the intellectual freedom of children, prospects for the future."

Judge dismisses defamation case against townBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | February 12,2013FAIR HAVEN — A defamation case against the chairman of the Fair Haven Select Board was dismissed by a Rutland judge this week.
According to Judge William Cohen a statement Christopher Cole made during a public meeting back in April 2011 about Nicholas Michael was not defamatory as a matter of law, effectively dismissing the case.
Michael, an attorney in Fair Haven, was appointed to the planning commission in March 2009. He sought reappointment to the board in April 2011, but when it came to the vote, Michael was not reappointed by the Select Board despite having the support of George Stannard, planning commission chairman.
Court records show that during a Select Board meeting April 5, 2011, Cole, who at the time was not chairman of the board, stated on the record that Michael "was not a person that he wanted to represent Fair Haven on the town Planning Commission."
In public minutes of the meeting, a motion to appoint Michael failed for a lack of a second. Eventually Roy Eckler was appointed to the position. Court records show that in a tape recording of the meeting, Cole is on the record with that statement.
In his complaint, Michael said the statement made by Cole during the meeting was the basis of the defamation claim. He said the slanderous and libelous actions by the board discredited his reputation in the community and his law practiced suffered.
"The actions of the (board members) were intentional acts used to discredit (my) reputation in the community and were meant to injure that reputation in the community through the spoken and written word," Michael wrote in the complaint.
He sought $50,000 in damages.
According to court records, the Fair Haven town attorney argued that Cole stated his opinion as part of his duties as a selectman and that his statement was "not intended or understood as statements of fact, are impossible to prove or disprove, and are therefore not actionable as libelous."
Judge Cohen agreed stating in his decision that "no reasonable observer could interpret Mr. Cole's statements as conveying true facts about Mr. Michael."
He continued: "Rather, the only reasonable interpretation is that the statement expressed Mr. Cole's subjective opinion that Mr. Michael should not be reappointed to the Planning Commission. As there is no way to measure whether Mr. Cole's personal opinion was 'true,' his statement is not actionable."

As you know, these are concerning times. It's hard to comprehend that the government of the United States of America has been closed for business for nearly a week now. Recently, I had occasion to meet with colleagues in three different settings to discuss common and pressing concerns. The day before the shutdown, I met with the advisory board to the director of the Clinical Center at the NIH. A few days earlier, I met with the board of the Association of Academic Health Centers and before that with a collective of CEOs of major health-related organizations. All of us are deeply concerned about what awaits with respect to federal funding for research, the Affordable Care Act, Health Care Exchanges and more. I imagine these topics are top of mind for you, as well.
Notably, at present, our Health System is in an enviable position, given that most of my colleagues said that their hospitals are seeing a drop in census to 60 percent or less, as well as decreasing revenue. We, on the other hand, grapple with challenges of high demand and have markedly recovered from the financial challenges of last year. This isn't by happenstance or luck. Our high census is because of our excellent reputation and the outstanding care we provide. And our current financial stability is because of your deliberate and conscientious efforts to see more patients, control resources and improve workflow – all while improving patient satisfaction scores to their highest levels ever. We should take great pride in this, but, at the same time, we must continue to be diligent and focused as we navigate ongoing challenges, such as the current government shutdown and sequestration.
This weekend, I shared our concerns in the Detroit Free Press about the $1.5 billion cut to National Institute of Health funding because of sequestration, along with the shutdown (Article). We continue to monitor the impact on our Health System now and in the long term. While current grants have been safe, researchers preparing to submit applications for new grants — including a large number who expected to submit applications in time for a major October 5 deadline – are on hold until the shutdown ends. This may lead to delays in obtaining funding and starting research. Clinical trials already under way at UMHS are continuing, though there may be some slowing in cases where federal agencies process experimental drugs. Some research funded by federal contracts has stopped or may need to, including that of a seven-person team analyzing data from the 2009 pandemic H1N1 flu outbreak for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This group has been told to cease all activities on this project when flu season is right around the corner.
But even without these new threats, it has already been difficult for scientists to get crucial funding for new discoveries. In fiscal year 2013, despite overall growth in federal research funding, NIH funding to U-M fell 1.8 percent. That represents a $9.6 million cut, a significant reduction for those hoping to discover new cures and treatments.
This is a problematic trend. NIH is by far the university's largest research sponsor, amounting to $509.7 million last year, or more than 38 percent of the total research budget at U-M. And it's the research conducted on campuses like ours that develops the people and ideas that drive the creation of new products and services, new companies and new industries.
With research funding at risk, research itself is at risk, as is our standing as a global leader in medical innovation. While the rest of the world increases spending for crucial biomedical research — spending is up 20 percent in China and India and 10 percent in Japan and Brazil — U. S. funding has dropped 5 percent. We are falling behind in research spending, and the impact is potentially devastating for our nation's physical and economic health.
It's important to note that medical research is a major economic driver, too. The U.S. government invested $3.8 billion in the Human Genome Project and achieved an estimated return on investment of $141 for every dollar spent. That work laid the foundation for significant advances in molecular medicine, energy, bioarchaeology, DNA forensics and even agriculture. According to Robert Wood Johnson Foundation studies, preventing just 5 percent of new cases of chronic conditions would reduce Medicare and Medicaid spending by nearly $5.5 billion each year by 2030. The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation estimates that the impact of sequestration on research will be a loss of up to $200 billion in our GDP over several years.
When we stop investing in research, we're saying that we as a nation are no longer committed to leading the world in discovery and being on the cutting edge of medical science. We're saying that we are okay with the fact that our nation — a nation built on pioneering innovation — will no longer be in the lead. We're saying that we are comfortable becoming increasingly reliant on other nations to develop and produce new drugs, therapies and treatments, even if those nations have different and potentially less stringent regulatory requirements. We're saying that we are okay with discouraging some of our most prolific and innovative minds from pursuing careers in science and biomedical research because we have decided against funding this work.
Science moves the world forward and medical research offers limitless potential to improve lives and communities. Academic health centers and research institutions like ours are where life-changing science happens. Like you, I take immense pride in being part of the University of Michigan Health System because it means being part of a passionate commitment to making the world a better place, one discovery, one encounter, one family and one patient at a time.

Body Pillows
At some point in your second trimester, you'll probably notice that sleep doesn't come to you as easily as it used to. Popping in and out of bed to go to the bathroom doesn't help. Neither does the fact that it's somewhere between difficult and impossible to get comfortable at night.
There is very little you can do about the reduced capacity of your bladder that doesn't involve dehydration and suffering of another sort, but there is one simple thing you can do to help yourself get comfortable in bed, and it will cost you relatively little. Go to a bed and bath store, or pick up a catalog that sells bedding, and you'll probably find a body pillow. Body pillows are long, skinny pillows filled with down, or cotton, or any number of less expensive synthetics. When you get into bed at night, position your body pillow in between your breasts, around your stomach, and in between your thighs. This will give your body the support it needs, and will finally allow all of your muscles to relax.
When looking for a body pillow, know that there should be one within every price range, and that you will regret anything but a washable cover. Know too, that with your body pillow in place, your significant other may become lonely and jealous, so make sure to pay attention!

Yeah, no doubt. Bargs will come off the bench if we want to win games. Metta and Amar'e are better options
Mike Breen asked Clyde a couple times during games "What did he think of Bargnani". Clyde said he was sporadic. Sporadic he was in the preseason, not the shooter his rep said he was, terrible from 3 pt range and a so so jump shot and no post game to speak of. Best part of his game was putting it on the floor and drawing fouls, he is a terrific FT shooter. Terrible rebounder and will never get better, has no explosion going up for the ball and even an explosive wing is going to beat him to a rebound even though he's 7 ft. He did use his size to block some shots and that's the best part of his defense.
We got a good look at him in the preseason and his play to me is more fitted to an off the bench role player than the starting PF. I would rather start Melo at the 4 and MWP rather than having Bargs start. Bargs as a starter? other lineups?
Yeah, no doubt. Bargs will come off the bench if we want to win games. Metta and Amar'e are better options
Hate to break news to all here but Amar'e and K-Mart will be on a 10min max game limit alternating games, if we play so many in such nights. I mean that's how sad things are at this point and explains why Aldrich made the team.
We're not going to have a good season. We're too thin in our front court, we do not have a tough team, our back court is going to get ate alive as the league clearly has gotten better all the way across at the guard positions. Unless we totally change our style of play we're going to be discussing roster overhaul more and more.
What is he good at? Average shooter. Everything else is below average. He'll be out of the NBA in 3-4 seasons.
I figured Amar'e was on a 15-20 min mandate....and yes, no back to backs....and yes, the way the team is now, we're gone in the first or second round
in truth the only team we won't compete well against is the Pacers because they truly are one of the last teams in the NBA that boast a legitimate front court. with that being said we almost beat them last year if we didn't forget how to make open jump shots the heat won the championship last year with bosh as their pf avg 6.6 Reb a game and no center. the spurs starting center of splitter made it to finals avg less rebounds than that with Duncan as their only low post presence. point is the league is different. I think we will fare well with melo bargs amare metta and k mart shifting at the pf with chandler at center. that's honestly better than alot of winning teams it you map it all out on paper.
people seemingly forget that we didn't lose to the Pacers last year because of our front court. we lost because we couldn't make 20+ some what wide open jump shots every single game after going up 3-0 on the Celts. we shot approximately 30% from the field.

The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
You essentially hung yourself with your own rope with this post.
If you think that's the main reason we lost then maybe you need go back and re-watch the series. Usually teams that "live by the jump shot die by the jump shot". We died! If we try it again we'll die sooner
In NBA History It's Proven....teams that "can't rebound and can't defend" lose in the playoffs. We had no answer for guys like Hibbert/West/Stephenson and Paul George most of the time looked other worldly
I'll never drive on the bridge you're trying to sell here and I think even the greater portion of homeristic Knick fans wouldn't either.
Mike Woodson reiterated on Saturday that he plans to alternate using Stoudemire and Martin when the Knicks play consecutive games. So if Stoudemire plays the first game of a back-to-back, you can expect to see Martin in the second game.
But Woodson took the plan a step further on Saturday, suggesting for the first time that Martin and Stoudemire could be alternating games throughout the season, depending on how many days off the Knicks have between games.
"I'm really considering alternating them from game to game. If there is a game and there's three or four days between the next game, then we can play them both. But if there's four in five nights, we'll probably alternate each guy," Woodson said.
The Knicks have taken a cautious approach with both players in the preseason.
Stoudemire underwent a knee procedure over the summer -- his third operation in the past 12 months -- and was limited to just 29 games in the regular season last season due to knee ailments.
Martin is still feeling the effects of an ankle injury he suffered last April.
That's why Woodson and the Knicks' medical staff have recommended giving both regular rest during the season.
"We can kind of manage the season that way [so] they're not being lost [to injury] because I pounded them for too many games in a row and they weren't ready for it," Woodson said. "So we're just going to take it a day at a time, a week at a time, and a month at a time, and see if we can grow with those two guys. I think we can."
Both Stoudemire and Martin have practiced sparingly during the preseason and training camp. The veteran forwards made their preseason debuts Friday night against Charlotte after sitting out the first six games of the exhibition season.
Woodson said both Stoudemire, 30, and Martin, 35, will start with a minutes limit of 10 per game this season. But the coach is hopeful that the limit can increase as the season goes along.
"We're going to see where it takes us," Woodson said.
The Knicks expect to have both Stoudemire and Martin in the season opener on Wednesday, but both players have to get through practice on Monday and Tuesday before they can be declared ready for the game against Milwaukee.
"I'm very optimistic that everything's going to be fine," Woodson said.
Unless Melo and Smith go 30/30 every night with high efficiency we have no shot this year. Watch and see how much the rest of the league has improved.
Do we have to give D.League-Bargani playingtime this season?
The Knicks Front-Office is the HC of the Knicks providing fans with lies lies lies about Amare and K-Mart injuries.
I have not seen Amare or K-Mart get injured in any game to limp off the court in a Knicks jersey.
Lastseason when Tyson returned from missing 18 games with injury, Knicks front-office announce K-Mart was injured (RED-FLAG). Coincidence
Once the Bargani trade was official, and 6.11 Jeremy Tyler was a force in SLG, a week later the Knicks front-office release some suprise news from their medical-staff about the Knicks $100M player will be limited to 20 minutes per game. Coincidence
When the Meta World Peace signing became official, days later the Knicks front-office release some more suprise-suprise news about their $100M player having a suprise surgery 2 months earlier on his career injured Knee.
Coincidence .. To many LIES.
In the final preseason game on 25 Oct., Amare & K-Mart were givin playingtime only in the first half of the game to outscore Knicks oponents by 13 points by halftime. The next day on the 26 Oct. the Knicks-Brass had some clown from their front-office announce that Amare & K-Mart will alternate games in the reg-season LOL .. 7-8 start .. quote-me
Amare & K-Mart are the two-BIGS we want in a lineup together to have more wins than losses .. the two are meshing-bigs not "one on one" bigs like Tyson & Melo.
The three best career chemistry players on the Knicks roster are Amare, K-Mart, and Meta.
We should want these 3 players in a lineup in our opening-game on 30 Oct. at MSG.
The trio of Amare, K-Mart, and Meta in a frontcourt lineup for 10 straight games will produce team-chemistry.
how did.I hang.myself. I said their front court dominated ours but ultimately the Pacers front court dominated the heats as well. it.took ray Allen. battier and chalmers to make.the shots that smith Felton and Pablo couldn't. our role.players need to make shots.

For the record...
Do you want to compare FGA between role players from both squads Heat and Knicks? Do you want to compare how many 3pt FGA were generated by both squads Heat and Knicks
Listen the Heat won because they run a high percentage offense ran by the best player in basketball. He's a helluva great scorer and the most efficient player in the league. Last but not least he shares the basketball as a habit, not conditionally, or when he decides it's convenient to do so. Oh and their team plays ELITE level defense when it needs to.
Unfortunately for us we run a low percentage offense, with one of the more inefficient top scorers in the league, who's hella selfish. We don't defend nor rebound well and we have a coach who caters only to certain players on the team.
Like Wade tried to told us last year in February/March....
"I hate that I really value efficiency. Because I look around the league sometimes andI see a guy shooting 41, 42 percentfrom the field and I'm like, 'Wow, they're just hoisting up shots and they don't care.' I guess that's that freedom, but I don't have that mindset. I want to be as efficient as possible."
The reason you think we lost to the Pacers is unequivocally not the reason we lost to the Pacers.
I'm also getting a kick of how now the Pacers have become this focal point standard from which to measure ourselves.
Ummmm!!!!!!! ......We didn't trade for Carmelo and all of our future assets so we could try to figure out how to beat the Pacers(who mind weren't in the picture when this 2010 Pipe Dream began) which goes to show how flawed our approach has been. We put this team together to essentially beat Lebron and you could say the Rose/Bulls looking back at it's inception.
Stop blaming the roles players too, it's not attractive at all.
When the so-called based player on the team attempts 25.8/FGA with an extreme high usage rate and only shoots 40.6PACENT during winning time, is pure garbage
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
when a defense can focus all their attention on the one guy who is a threat. others must step up. when they don't. you lose. Shane battier was unconscious some games when lebron was off forcing the other teams coach to game plan to stop them essentially opening things up for lebron to take over. melo never had that chance because guys were not a threat. Jason Kidd didn't make a shot lol.

My thing is all you here around here is melo, melo melo should do this melo should do that, we'd be better off without him. Well for the people who imply that well then who are we better with then? Nobody, because he's a special talent. You take melo off the team then we're certainly a lottery team. No one ever brings up tyson getting horsed by indys bigs, felton getting out played but hill and kidd and jr just missing shots. Melo has done way more good for us then harm. Is he flawed? Yes but he's not a cancerous player, he's not a loser. I don't even like melo but he means so much to our team and he gets sh**ed daily around here it's sad. Hell yeah we lost cuz of our role players. Melo did exactly what he did the whole season his counterparts did not

Sightseeing on the Delaware; May the Fort be with you!
June 26, 2013 —
For years now, I've driven past it, making a mental note to stop by "sometime" and check it out—the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History. I have a keen interest in the rich historical significance of the early settlers' lives here in the Upper Delaware River Valley, but until a few weeks ago, hadn't pulled into the lot. Unwilling to let another summer go by without paying a visit, I made my way to Narrowsburg, NY and toured the Fort, chatted with museum director Debra Conway and left impressed that this historical gem is glittering so close to home, welcoming visitors with an entertaining and educational glimpse of the past.
Before my trip, a quick glance online revealed that "Fort Delaware is an authentic depiction of the life of the Delaware Company pioneers who settled in the Upper Delaware Valley in 1754. A tour of the facilities includes demonstrations of early settlers' lifestyles and craft-making. A gift shop, vending area and picnicking facilities are located on the grounds. Each spring, the Fort is host to over 1,000 students who participate in the Student Days program." (www.co.sullivan.ny.us). While this was a decent overview, Conway was most helpful in filling in some of the blanks. "There is a misconception that the original settlement was actually built on this site," she said, "but in reality, this replica was built by James W. Burbank in 1957 as a roadside attraction, during the sightseeing boom of the '50s."
Faithful in all details, the complex that we see now recreates what was once part of the "Cushetunk Settlement" where early settlers befriended members of the native Lenape Tribe and secured a deed to some of the land in 1754. With no written language, the native word 'Cushetunk" was at some point interpreted as "Cochecton," which lingers to this day. "In reality, there was no such thing as 'Fort Delaware,'" Conway said, "but the Cushetunk settlement served as a site where 28 families within a 30-mile radius could take refuge if they felt threatened during the height of the French and Indian War. Lots of visitors think that the 'Lower Fort' saw action during the conflict, but Burbank actually came up with the name on his own, in his attempt to create the tourist attraction."

"You all got raises!" Czerwinski exclaimed, and received a prolonged round of applause.
CFO Ron Wilson said teachers already on staff will receive a raise this year of $1,345 above what they made last year, while new teachers will get a raise of $1,335 above what they normally make.
"You have the school board to thank for that," Superintendent Dr. Paul Clore said. "That's who approved those raises."
The new starting salary for a Gregory-Portland instructor will be $46,289 per year. Non-teaching employees received a 3 percent raise, while the school's minimum wage rate of $7.36 per hour was raised to $7.60 per hour, Czerwinski said.
The district hired 66 new staff members - including 54 new teachers - for the upcoming school year. Czerwinski noted that the majority of those employees come with a considerable amount of experience.
"Of the 66 new professional employees, they had 437 years of experience," she said. "Only 10 (teachers) are new to the teaching field. We hired our new hires because we were passionate about them, and they were passionate during their interviews."
The increased pay and staff come at a time when the district is experiencing a period of growth.
"With our student growth exceeding our expectations, we're trying to keep up with the community's growth," school board President Randy Eulenfeld said.
Noting the many accommodating changes being made to the district, Eulenfeld cited that the school has several projects under construction - including the new sports complex, the addition to Stephen F. Austin Elementary School, and the new East Cliff Elementary School - and drove his point home by continually singing the lyrics to Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin.'"
Staff recognized Melissa Franco de Gonzales for her Parents as Partners work. Franco de Gonzales is involved with the Parent Teacher Organization program, and is on the district's science decision-making team. She said the school's teachers, coaches, administrators and school board make her proud to be a Wildcat.
"You all are with our children the majority of the day," Franco de Gonzales said. "Parents are counting on you to make responsible citizens out of our kids. But, there are parents out there who are willing to help. Being a PTO member, I can tell you parental involvement is key."
Franco de Gonzales implored staff to work with the PTO to get parents more involved with volunteering at activities throughout the year, keep the school's website updated with lesson plans, and make parents feel like they are part of the team.
Staff recognized the district's Secondary Teacher of the Year, Lori Wilson. The district's Intermediate Teacher of the Year, Amber Bright, recently left the school to accept a teaching position near her hometown.
"I accept this award on behalf of all the incredible teachers I've known along the way," Wilson said. "Working with G-P is working with the best."
Wilson said she has worked with junior high students for 23 years.
"It can be tricky business," she said. "Good or bad, it's how you look at things. Set high expectations, and go above and beyond for our students."
Wilson works with a diverse group of students, including those in her adapted physical education class, which is for students with special needs. She said she recently taught a special needs student who had trouble hitting the ball off a tee.
"When she finally hit the ball, and it dribbled off the tee, teachers and students went wild," Wilson said. "It was just like a walk-off home run."

In a bid to reverse the agreement with CVS over the traffic patterns at the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets, council member Bob Jennings moved to reject the agreement.
That agreement was dated December 19 and was signed by council president F.J. Monaghan and Michael W. Buckless, vice president of Pennsylvania CVS Pharmacy.
The agreement said that "within 14 days" CVS must submit to the borough revised traffic plans for the intersection. As of January 11, 23 days had passed since the agreement was signed.
Because of this, Jennings moved to reject the contract totally. When put to a vote at the borough meeting on January 14, Jennings' motion was defeated 4 to 3. Voting with Jennings were Juanita Pisano and Harry DeVrieze. Voting against the motion were Monaghan and council members Jim Brennan, Michael Slish and Scott Smith.
In a second motion, Jennings moved that the borough take the company to court over its failure to meet the agreement's deadline. His motion failed to get a second and it died. The contract with CVS stands.
In a special meeting on the CVS plan held on Monday, January 21, further discussion was held among council members concerning the same intersection, specifically about a wide turn, called a radius turn, that may be necessary for long semi-trucks. The board discussed five comments made by the borough's traffic engineer, Mary Bogart of Bogart Engineering, having to do with several issues at the intersection.
"We took no action, but only addressed Bogart's points to be sure we were in agreement with state regulations," said Monaghan. "We then sent our comments to CVS."
The CVS proposal has been the subject to much debate among council members.
In other council action, the ordinance against overnight winter parking on the streets was modified. Up to now, it has been forbidden for any car to park on any street between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and that ban still applies when there is a snow emergency, which is called by Mayor Ed Langendoerfer. When there is no snow emergency, it will now be permitted to park on most side streets. However, overnight parking on 23 designated streets (largely those going north and south) will still be prohibited.
"We are changing it in order to give people who live in apartments a chance to park their cars on the street," Brennan said. "What many do now is park on lawns and other undesirable places."
The law took effect immediately.
In other board action, the board accepted a grant of $16,800 from U.S. Senator Pat Toomey's office to purchase a new police vehicle. The source of the funding is the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The grant came from the efforts by Councilwoman Juanita Pisano, who is the head of the grants department.
