Interviews for town administrator set
Selectmen will spend the better part of next week interviewing the remaining three candidates for the town administrator's position. Interviews are set for Wednesday, Dec. 1 and Thursday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m., as well as Saturday, Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. It is expected that Pamela Nolan, current town administrator of Truro, will interview on Saturday due to the distance she needs to travel.
The search committee narrowed the field of 59 applicants down to six. From the six, the remaining three were unanimously determined. They are Carol Riches, current administrative assistant to the Paxton Board of Selectmen and town administrator; Edward Macdonald, current town administrator for the Town of Chester, and Nolan.
"I wish to thank the members of the search committee who put in tremendous personal time working evenings and weekends to make sure that these candidates were chosen in a timely manner. I, for one, am extremely thankful," said selectmen Peter Bogren Jr.
"I would also like to express my appreciation from the town for the timeliness in getting these candidates to us. It is greatly appreciated by me and the town," chairman of the selectmen, Fred Goodrich, said.
The interviews will be held in public session and all are welcome to attend.
In other business, selectmen determined that they would likely be bringing a debt exclusion request to the special town meeting for the repair of the Paxton Center School roof. Paxton's cost will be $489,000 after a 52 percent reimbursement from the state.
"I have trouble with a debt exclusion. We can bring it to the town, but I am not in favor," Bogren Jr. said.
The special town meeting is scheduled for Jan. 24.
At the Nov. 22 Wachusett Regional School District Committee meeting, Superintendent of Schools Thomas Pandiscio made a proposal to have one project manager oversee three separate school building projects, including the Paxton Center School, Thomas Prince and Naquag Elementary schools. The committee unanimously approved the request, so the district will now pick up the cost of hiring a project manager.
The Massachusetts School Building Authority, the agency that is overseeing school building projects, approved the request with the condition that one single building committee service the combined projects.
The building committee will consist of the administrator from each town, (a representative designee from Rutland), the superintendent and district business manager Peter Brennan.
Pandiscio told school committee members, "The time line is aggressive; all money must be spent by next year." He said the sequence of events will be to hire the project manager, do a feasibility study (which should take about 3-4 weeks), and the towns will hire their own project designer from a list of designers.
Town administrator Charlie Blanchard told selectmen to give more thought to the project.
"If the board isn't behind this project, maybe you shouldn't go forward," said Town Administrator Charlie Blanchard.
"We will present a united front if the vote goes that way," Bogren Jr. said.

I'll be in Munich this year for the first three days of Octoberfest (9/17, 9/18, 9/19, flying out the morning of 9/20). Do any Octoberfest veterans out there have any suggestions? Any tents I should visit or reserve now?

I can't suggest anything, but as a additional info: I've been planning on getting out there soon and was wondering, if you'd allow me, what kind of arrangements did you/do you have to make? What would an "average" trip to Munich for a week during Oktoberfest cost - assuming a moderately priced hotel/flight/etc.?

The flight was about $600 from the east coast, which I felt was a really good deal. Orbitz & Travelocity wanted $700 or $800, Expedia came through with a cheap flight in Swissair. Flights are more expensive in July and August than in September.
I'll be hiking in Bavaria for a week before Oktoberfest (a pre-emptive strike on the calories I intend to consume), so I splurged a bit on the hotel, $250 per night for the room, shared between two people ($125 per person per night). You could go cheaper if you wanted. The hotels seem to fill up fast for Oktoberfest, you need to reserve about 6 months in advance.
The last time I was in Germany, entrance to museums, castles, etc. seemed to either be free or over $20, so you'd probably want to budget a decent amount of money for entrance fees.

which you probably already visited has info on tents etc. i think you need 10 persons to book a table, no?
We were there in 2003 and willbe again this year but not until 9/26. Personally, I like the Augustiner tent the most which is favored by the locals. We had great weather last time and sat outside. We asked a waitress to find us a spot and she squeezed us in to one of the long picnic tables. the people at our table were all germans (mostly bavarians) and we had a great time with them. in fact, we made friends and we are staying with some of them this year in munich and others in the dusseldorf area.
you will be there at a very busy time (opening weekend) so it will be packed. get there early each day. you will probably want to hang onto a spot for dear life when you get one. on monday it should be a little less crowded and you can roam around to more tents. we go during the week since it is a little less crowded. we stopped in most of the big tents and a couple of small ones. i think the descriptions of the tents on the website above are pretty accurate. also, near the augusiner tent is a smaller beer garten which seems to always have seating during the day. it is not a place to really party but to have something good to eat and relax with a beer - sort of get away from the madness for a bit. prost!

I recommend the Augustiner Br�u Festhalle or the Hacker-Festzelt during the day and either the Armbrustschützenzelt or the L�wenbr�u tent at night.

Ditto Augustiner Braeu (nice touch with the umlaut Jeffery) and Hacker...the Hacker Festzelt is generally very crazy by early afternoon.
Munich weather has a huge effect on crowd turnout. Last time I was at O'fest (2003) it was sunny and about 75 F. At 10:00 a.m. every table inside and outside every tent was full. And they won't serve you beer unless you are sitting down....when we got back home to Stuttgart the news said something like an extra 50,000 people were there that day.
I'll also be there sometime between the 24th and 30th this year. We're staying in a suburb with a nice Gasthaus within crawling distance of the S-Bahn stop.

Can I paint my walls? I just rented an apartment in Guyton. Anyone know if its ok to paint the walls? I'm not looking to paint it any crazy colors.
Link to this answeryoubelonginthe20s2+ weeks old
I would run it by the landlord first before you do anything like this. You could also look at your contract and see if it says anything about that. If it doesn't say anything about it you should definitely ask your landlord. If you show him the color and it is something neutral then it shouldn't be an issue and he may let you.

Along with the news that Sir Paul McCartney is making music for Bungie's upcoming "Destiny" series of games, the company is offering you the chance to "Drape yourself in an enigma from our future release" in the form of the t-shirt you see above. You can purchase it on the Bungie Store, and be the first person in your neighborhood to hype whatever Bungie is trying to hype with these tees.
We have no info on what this future release is, or what the letters "FWC" stand for, but we're working hard on compiling a list of potential phrases that Bungie is teasing. The leading candidate is "Fart Wet Coconuts."
Feel free to add your own interpretation in our comment section below.

Look, Hollywood, we understand that film is a different medium than comic books. We realize that changes must be made, storylines streamlined, art design massaged. The inner nerd in us can even forgive annoying details like Peter Parker developing webbing rather than inventing it.
But, there are some films that we cannot forgive. These strike at the very core of the comic, and take everything we loved and beat them into submission with a club made of crappy CG, crappier screenplays and a whole lot of greed and apathy.
7The Hulk
Ang Lee, the man who brought you the tender, soul-searching gay cowboy movie and the tender, romantic epic about how Chinese people can fly thought he'd be a perfect fit for a movie version of a story about a simple, inarticulate brute who punches tanks.
He wasn't.
The comic:
Bruce Banner gets blown up by a gamma bomb, and spends each issue turning into the Hulk and beating the shit out of military personnel and supervillains. Sometimes, he becomes king of a planet by beating the shit out of aliens.
The movie:
The movie spends an inordinate amount of time developing the character of the Hulk's dad (David Banner) and in general plods along for an hour before the Hulk appears and punches stuff. David Banner winds up as both the film's main villain and the second-craziest public appearance ever turned in by Nick Nolte.
David Banner's dangerous experiments on himself, combined with Bruce's being bombarded with gamma radiation and some nanobots thrown in for good measure (read: "no reason") result in his turning into The Hulk.
Why did they change it?
There seemed to be a real effort to make this comic book movie psychologically cogent and scientifically realistic (The Hulk is now the result of some kind of genetic nanobot tampering). The award-winning Ang Lee apparently saw a comic with Hulk body slamming a 747, screaming "HULK SMASH" and decided this would be a good vehicle to delve into psychological themes about what it means to be human.
Did it work?
It almost worked, until a the giant mutant dogs showed up. Sure, they gave the Shrek-like CGI Hulk something more fake-looking then himself to fight, but that didn't stop them from being totally and pointlessly retarded.
Word-of-mouth for the movie was so awful that it holds a record for biggest drop in ticket sales after the opening weekend. That's the Hollywood equivalent of running in a touchdown on the first play of the Super Bowl, and then having your pants fall down on every subsequent play.
But, if nothing else, the movie should be credited for pioneering that wicked picture-in-picture technique that has since been used in a number of comic book films. And it helped administer the final deathblow to Nick Nolte's film career, freeing him up for much more entertaining activities. But, nothing will ever make up for those retarded mutant dogs.
6Judge Dredd
Sylvester Stallone plays Judge Joe Dredd, sociopathic administrator of future justice who must face mutants, lawless citizens, a crazy cloned brother, corrupt officials, owning only one outfit (which has a gold eagle's head on the right shoulder), and having a ridiculous accent. He faces these things by shooting them.
The comic:
Comic book Judge Dredd was an abstract figure, a Dirty Harry-esque symbol that allowed his (British) creators to lampoon and analyze totalitarianism, fascism, complex legal issues and ironically dissect the archetypal violent American action hero.
The movie:
Stallone, famous for roles where he beats people unconscious and kills them with hunting knives, predictably focused more on the "archetypal violent American action hero" part, and left out the irony.
The character in the comic is never unmasked (emphasizing the "abstract figure" thing) but, when producers are paying $10 million to get Sylvester Stallone in their movie, they're going to want to see that piercing gaze and gorgeous saggy lip of his in all its glory, so the mask came off. That gives you an idea that this was no a Judge Dredd movie and was in fact a Sylvester Stallone movie.
Why did they change it?
In 1995, the ratio of Sylvester Stallone fans to Judge Dredd comic fans was about 1 million to 0. So, Judge Dredd simply became a costume for Sly to wear.
Did it work?
Judge Dredd's original comic, 2000 AD, and his huge catalog of subsequent comic series, spinoffs and trade paperbacks are complex and influential enough that he's still brought up in Britain during debates about issues like police states and rule of law. In America, Judge Dredd is usually only brought up when you and your roommates are bored on a Wednesday night and keen to invent a new drinking game. Here's a good one: Drink every time Dredd says, "How do you plead?" "I knew you'd say that" or screeches the word "law" while spit flies from his distended mouth. You'll all be getting your stomachs pumped within 20 minutes.
The story behind the comics, as it turns out, doesn't work after you strip out every element except for the name of the character. The movie cost $90 million to make and grossed $35 million in the United States.

Robert Warzycha has been part of the Columbus Crew for 18 seasons, the past five as its coach. The former midfielder is the team's longest-tenured employee and, arguably, the face of pro soccer in Columbus.
But yesterday, three days removed from the Crew's sixth loss in seven games, Warzycha declined to discuss a potential parting with the team that likely will, one day, induct him into its Circle of Honor.
"If the team is not winning, then management is going to seek why the team is not winning," Warzycha said. "If they make the decision that I am the problem, that I am not coaching the team the right way and I am not getting from the players what I can get and what they think I can get, then there is going to be a change.
"I don't think it matters how I feel. ... It is what it is for me. It doesn't really matter."
Warzycha won a Supporters' Shield regular-season championship in his first season, but he has presided over a three-year slide that has seen the Crew fall to 6-11-5 and eighth place in the Eastern Conference in 2013, well on its way to missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the third time in franchise history.
Warzycha is in the final year of his contract. The purchase of the Crew by Anthony Precourt and San Francisco-based Precourt Sports Ventures was completed last week. It is a team that seems ripe for change, and the rumblings of a portion of the fan base unhappy with Warzycha's performance have reached a crescendo in recent weeks.
"The simple thing is that we are not winning for some reason or reasons," Warzycha said. "Some people are not going to realize what those reasons are and some people are going to say, 'OK, the coach is the one that should be blamed for it.'"
Key injuries – including season-ending knee surgeries for Eddie Gaven and Glauber – and subpar performances have hampered the Crew, which has struggled defensively and has not clicked with its talented playmaker, Federico Higuain.
"There has to be some kind of decision made because we have to get better," Warzycha said. "With the injuries we have and other clubs getting better, we have to get something that will make this team play better."
General manager Mark McCullers said Precourt will return to Columbus tonight, meet with front office and technical staff during the following three days and undergo "total immersion" in the operation.
The Crew won't make an international acquisition before the close of the transfer window on Thursday, but McCullers said there is hope despite minuscule playoff chances.
"I know we're in a tough spot but I'm not ready to give up," McCullers said.
Since Precourt took over, the team has operated as it did under Dallas-based Hunt Sports Group, although Precourt last week indicated that former Chicago Fire president Dave Greeley would become involved with the team.
McCullers, who has held the title of team president since 2008 and is under contract through 2014, said he expects to remain.
"That's part of the attraction in purchasing the team, the continuity we've had among our senior staff," McCullers said. "I've been around Columbus a long time and have made a lot of relationships and I want to continue to use those to try to help this club succeed."

Spokane County Sheriff's deputies are combing through cold cases looking for any link to serial killer Israel Keyes.
Before killing himself in an Alaska jail, Keyes confessed to killing people across the country, including four people in Washington. He lived in Colville in the 1990's.
Two major crimes detectives will sit down and look through 45 cold case homicides and missing person files to see if any overlap with the time Keyes was in this area.
"We will look at the time frame when he was on our area, look at any unsolved cases in that same time frame and see if anything overlays with each other," Spokane County Deputy Craig Chamberlin said.
Detectives are looking at both cold case homicides and missing persons to see if there are any connections.
"Those missing people could very well turn into homicide victims," Chamberlin said.
As of now, the sheriff's office doesn't have a criminal link between Keyes and the Spokane area. Detectives just found out about the alleged Washington victim and are starting to work on a timeline of when Keyes may have been in the area.
Chamberlin said this is a team effort and that surrounding agencies will be working together and talking to each other as they look to see if any of their cases could be connected to Keyes.

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Wisconsin wide receiver Jared Abbrederis left the No. 13 Badgers' loss to Oregon State on Saturday with a chest injury after a big hit.
Abbrederis was hurt in the second quarter of the 10-7 loss to the Beavers. He was injured when he got sandwiched by Oregon State's Rueben Robinson and Feti Taumoepeau on a crossing route. Abbrederis initially got up and started to jog off the field, but took a few steps and went down to the turf. He was taken back to the locker room and about 20 minutes later walked under his own power to an ambulance.
Abbrederis was transferred to a hospital for evaluation. Coach Bret Bielema didn't have details on his injury after the game, but said Abbrederis was expected to accompany the team on its flight back to Wisconsin.
Abbrederis had one catch for 26 yards in the first half. He had two touchdown catches last week against Northern Iowa.

text: Fire Mitigation Bureau of Land Management Looks at New Fire Managment Plan By Tucker Hampson • Aug 8, 2014 The Bureau of Land Management is finalizing an updated fire management plan for the Front Range. KRCC's Tucker Hampson reports. The Royal Gorge office has divided the Front Range into Northeast and Royal Gorge planning areas, with the latter including Las Animas, Pueblo, and Fremont Counties. Changes to the fire management plan include more thinning, seeding and controlled burns. Ed Skerjanec is the Fire Mitigation and Education Specialist for the Bureau. He says the new plan looks to be more flexible and widespread: Wildfire Mitigation Grants Available By Tucker Hampson • Jun 24, 2014 clipart The Colorado Department of Natural Resources is offering $3.9 million in grants to help reduce the risk of wildfire. KRCC's Tucker Hampson reports. This is the third round of funds awarded to groups like non-profits and utilities that strive to reduce the effects of wildfire on communities. The program is focused on mitigation projects that help protect infrastructure, water supplies, and property, according to Lisa Dale with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. A Sense of Place, Episode 4: The Fire Isn't Over By Sarah Stockdale • Jun 4, 2014 Sarah Stockdale "The fire isn't over until restoration is complete" is a catch-phrase that has been floating around Colorado Springs ever since our two most recent fires in 2012 and 2013. But what exactly is "restoration"? When will it be complete? And what is our role in the fight to mitigate future fires? In this episode of "A Sense of Place," producer Sarah Stockdale takes us on a journey up highway 24 to the Waldo Canyon burn scar, to speak with Theresa Springer of the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, and Eric Perramond, associate professor of Southwest Studies at Colorado College.

Fifteen Division I players, including nine in the senior class, return from a team that finished 16-2. It's two losses were by a combined three goals. Goalie Dan Fowler (Duke) and Virginia-bound attackman Ryan Lukacovic (62 points) are top players.
2. St. Anthony's (N.Y.)
Nineteen Division I players, including 14 in the senior class, return from a team that won the CHSAA championship last season. The Friars lost two games to Chaminade in the regular season, but toppled the Flyers in the championship.
3. West Islip (N.Y.)
Senior Nick Aponte (Penn State) returns fresh off a three-goal, four-assist performance in a state championship win over Ithaca. Ryan Wieczorek (Delaware), who also played well in the final, gives the Lions an awesome 1-2 punch at midfield.
4. Garden City (N.Y.) 1-0
Following a remarkable 22-0 cruise to the Class B crown, Garden City lost All-Americans Devin Dwyer, Dan Marino (goalie) and Patric Berkery. An underrated factor in Garden City's favor: Faceoff master James Sullivan returns. The Trojans opened the season with a win over Syosset.
5. Ithaca (N.Y.)
The Little Red came up a little bit short against West Islip but lost just one other game. Ithaca boasts the Hartford-bound duo of Doug Biondi (three goals in the state final) and Jaedon Henderson, but needs to solve faceoff woes in big games.
6. Jamesville-Dewitt (N.Y.)
The Red Rams went 16-4 despite a new-look defense. Their final three losses came by a combined six goals. Griffin Feiner (Hartford) will spark the offense. Syracuse-bound All-American Jordan Evans also packs a punch.
7. Smithtown West (N.Y.)
The Bulls return 13 Division I-bound players from a team that finished 16-2 last season. A playoff loss to Ward Melville ended their season. Look for junior Ryan Keenan (Penn State) to lead the offense along with junior midfielder Christian Zawadzki.
8. Niskayuna (N.Y.)
The Silver Warriors lost just two games last season, both to state champions, and allowed just five goals per game. North Carolina-bound Luke Goldstock (144 points), Lucas Maloney (Penn State) and goalie Evan Quinn (Hartford) return.
9. Darien (Conn.)
The Blue Wave reasserted itself in Connecticut with its seventh state title in eight years. Darien lost a ton, including consensus No. 1 recruit Case Matheis, but Peter Lindley (UMass) will be back to help cushion the blow.
10. Duxbury (Mass.)
Led by CJ Loconte (Army) and Jay Walsh (Fairfield), the Dragons could again run the table in Massachusetts. Garden City was the only team to reach double figures against Duxbury.
News and Notes
Greenwich's Youth Now Experienced
A year older and a year wiser, Greenwich (Conn.) is ready to fly.
The Greenwich Cardinals had a fairly young team last year and the squad learned a lot during its 9-9 season. Head coach Scott Bulkley is optimistic as the Cardinals begin their first practices this week.
"We started a lot of sophomores and freshman. That experience will be very important for this year's team and how we prepare for each game," Bulkley said. "The offseason was spent working on the little things that make you better. I am very happy with all of the work my guys did this offseason."
Those little things included watching game tape, working out in the weight room and stick work.
The Cardinals have a deep midfield unit led by two of the strongest players in the state in Alex Moeser (Hofstra) and Kyle Foote (Loyola). Ryan Flippin, Kelly Jay, Sam Saleeby will be key contributors on midfield. Decker Curran (Michigan) and Will Gibian lead the attack unit.
The Greenwich defense should have the two qualities every coach wants -- youth and experience. Three out of the four have started since their freshman year. Starting at close defense is 6-foot-3, 208 pound Jack Harrington (Duke), followed by Jack Nail, Cole Perry, and Griffin Tiedy.
Graham Savio who many believe is one of the top-3 faceoff men in the Tri-State area.
The 2013 schedule includes the usual slate of Connecticut Class L opponents, but also Darien and Wilton from Class M. Two teams from the Empire State also highlight the schedule — Lakeland-Panas and Chaminade.
"The only way to take your game to the next level is to go out and play the best possible competition. We respect all of our opponents but we fear no one," Bulkley said. "We are going to use the regular season to get ourselves ready for the playoffs. We have a lot of work to do and my guys are ready to do what it takes to take that next step."
Putting Maine on the Map
Lacrosse keeps growing and one high school program in a little town on southern coast of Maine is doing just that.
The Scarborough (Maine) lacrosse team is coming off its third-straight state championship and expects to have between 65-75 students playing, including 60-plus playing lacrosse in the middle school.
Maine currently has 42 high school lacrosse programs in the state, according to Laxpower.com.
Joe Hezlep is entering his sixth year as head coach of the Red Storm. He is the president of the Maine Chapter for US Lacrosse and is pleased with the growth of the sport in Maine.
"Lacrosse has traditionally been in the prep schools and in the greater Portland area," Hezlep said. "Next year Waterville, two hours north of Portland, will field a varsity team and Bangor has a club program started. Lacrosse in Maine is growing very rapidly."
Hezlep is trying to branch out with his team and Maine lacrosse to the rest of the country and in doing so he is starting to schedule tough out of state teams.
Last season the Red Storm opened against Gould Academy from New England. This year Scarborough opens against Mercer Island (Wash.).
"This will be a very big test for us, they are already 2-0 and will have played six more games by the time we see them," Hezlep said. "For us, it will come down to making plays and being able to execute simple concepts very effectively. Mercer Island is used to playing very big out of state games and have even played a Maine team before (Cape Elizabeth)."
The Red Storm lost 14 seniors, including six of the eight top scorers and three-time All Conference LSM Andrew Jones, from last year's team that went 14-1.
This year's team will need to fill those roles very quickly. Scarborough only returns four starters from last season's squad.
The Red Storm does return US Lacrosse All-American John Wheeler (Bentley). Wheeler is a two-time First Team All-Conference attackman that lead the team in scoring for the third year in a row with 84 points (51 goals, 33 assists).
Also returning is Second Team All-Conference senior Dalton Finley. Finley has started at defensive midfield for Scarborough since his sophomore season. Senior Goalie David Pearson returns for his third season between the pipes after posting a 77 percent save percentage and 3.27 GAA in 2012.
Junior Brendon Smith anchors the defense with fellow junior Cam Loiselle, who is the leading returning scorer on the midfield.
This year's focus for the Red Storm is to build on the foundation that has been laid by the previous teams at Scarborough.
Hezlep and the Red Storm begin practice on March 25 and are eager to get the season started.
"We will work relentlessly to get better everyday," Hezlep said.
Check back to LaxMagazine.com every other Wednesday throughout the high school season for updates to the Nike/US Lacrosse Regional Boys' Top 10 rankings and the Nike/US Lacrosse National Boys' Top 25.

After nearly seven years of debate and political dustups and setbacks along the way, it appears that a farm policy and nutrition bill will become law by the end of the week.
The House of Representatives passed the bill last week on a 251-166 vote and the Senate passed the bill Tuesday (Feb. 4.) President Obama was expected to sign the bill on Friday.
Now two years overdue, the final piece of legislation allocates nearly $1 trillion through 2018 to fund farm and nutrition programs.
Provisions of the 2008 farm bill expired in 2012 and a one-year extension of that policy expired in December of 2013.
The 949-page Agricultural Act of 2014 saves nearly $23 billion over that 10-year period, a third of which comes from the nutrition title that funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – food stamps.
The measure features the elimination of the direct payment program to farmers – itself a vestige of an earlier flawed farm program – and elimination of traditional dairy support programs and the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program in favor of a government-subsidized margin insurance program for dairy producers.
The Senate passed the measure that was worked out in a conference committee on a 68-32 vote.
Wisconsin's Senators split on the vote. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, voted for the package. Republican Ron Johnson voted against the measure, saying he opposed the spending that was approved for the food stamp program.
"Our strong agricultural tradition is a driver of economic growth and the Farm Bill is an opportunity to boost our agriculture economy, which puts over 350,000 people in Wisconsin to work," Baldwin said in a statement after the vote.
"This compromise isn't perfect but it is bipartisan legislation that makes important investments in our rural communities and will help ensure that our agriculture sector continues to fuel our state's economy."
She said she supported the bill because it included provisions to invest in agriculture and rural America including export programs for farm commodities and research into agricultural innovations as well as providing the long-term certainty farmers need.
The bipartisan legislation, she said, makes the most significant reforms to farm programs in decades, ending subsidies like direct payments, eliminating duplication, and streamlining programs for savings of more than $23 billion.
Johnson said, in a statement that the farm bill should be called the "Food Stamp Act of 2014" because food stamp spending makes up 79 percent or $756 billion of the $956 billion 10-year total spending.
He said throughout debate on the farm bill that farm programs should be separated from nutrition spending.
"Like most programs rooted in the New Deal and the Great Society, the food stamp program has experienced exponential growth. In the 1970s, when food stamps and agriculture subsidies became unfortunately linked, only 5 percent of Americans received food benefits. In 2000, approximately 6 percent, or 17 million people, were on food stamps," Johnson said.
"Participation rates vary based on economic conditions, but over the last two decades, they ranged between 6 and 10 percent of Americans. Today, 15 percent of the U.S. population (nearly 48 million people) are dependent on food stamps."
For cash crop producers, the bill includes a choice between a revenue program that covers both price and yield losses with county and farm level options, and a price support program, which allows the optional purchase of insurance coverage under a Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO).
The measure eliminates direct payments while maintaining decoupled farm support programs. The aim was to minimize the possibility of planting and production distortions that could trigger new challenges from the World Trade Organization.
In addition to the risk management framework, the bill also secures several other priorities of crop growers - agricultural research programs, including the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) and the new Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR); export promotion done under the Foreign Market Development (FMD) and Market Access Program (MAP.)
Soybean growers were especially happy about that portion of the bill since their crop is the nation's number one farm export and those exports depend heavily on those programs.
In a statement, the National Corn Growers Association said its 40,000 members were happy to see that the linkage between the farm and nutrition programs continued. That linkage that has been essential in enacting every farm bill since 1974, the organization said.
Both corn and soybean grower associations were pleased to see that the bill consolidates 23 previous conservation programs into 13, while focusing conservation efforts on working lands.
The dairy title is a reflection of some political wrangling and years of work. Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of National Milk Producers Federation, a coalition of dairy cooperatives, said the road to a new farm bill has been "long and torturous" and said Congress "didn't wind up precisely where we wanted in terms of the dairy program, but the milk glass is more than half-full."
The new farm bill replaces three outmoded programs intended to help farmers – but that often failed in that effort, he said.
"In their place is a new, more modern, and more comprehensive margin protection program offering dairy producers a far better and more effective safety net. Because it is designed to protect against periods of both low milk prices as well as high feed costs, margin insurance is a better risk management tool."
Members of NMPF have worked tirelessly since the devastating milk margins of 2009 toward establishment of a better safety net for dairy farmers.
"The farm bill's margin protection program is a tribute to their dedication and commitment," Mulhern said.

Jenna Lyons, Iris Apfel, Pamela Love, and More at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Party
Lyons discussed the award recipients' forthcoming collaborations with J.Crew.
Last night, J.Crew's Jenna Lyons hosted a party for the 2011 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award recipients, which included winner Joseph Altuzarra and runners-up Pamela Love and Creatures of the Wind's Shane Gabier and Chris Peters. Just as they did last year, all honorees have designed their own collaborative collections with J.Crew, which Lyons says will launch next week. "What's been amazing is that they all had the same brief and they all did different things," she said of the three labels. "We gave them the same materials to work with, we gave them the same kind of timeline, the same criteria — and they all did such different things, and in the end it all feels completely individual." Apparently the collaboration's concept forced jewelry designer Pamela Love to branch into clothing, which should be exciting to see.
Lyons also talked about her current apartment, which she's renting while she looks for a new place to buy. "It's the interior of the original American Express building, were they used to bring the carriages. So I have these huge doors and street entry, which is kind of cool," she said. She's looking forward to finding a place of her own, though: "I'm excited to do it again. I really don't tire of doing interiors." We also chatted with party guests Iris Apfel, Steven Kolb, Mickey Drexler, and Derek Lam — see more in our slideshow.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

Cooler Master V8
The second cooler from Cooler Master has also recently joined the best air coolers. It is called Cooler Master V8:
It is made of four independent heatsink arrays, 8 copper nickel-plated heatpipes and a 120-mm fan with PWM rotation speed control. We used the LGA1366 retention kit from Cooler Master V10 that was a perfect fit. As a result, it produced a very good thermal compound imprint on the cooler base:
Cooler Master V8 is comparatively compact when installed into a system case.
Nothing can prevent you from installing it any way you want with the airflow sent in any direction. As it turned out during our test session, when the cooler is installed with the heatpipes going across the processor heat-spreader and the airflow directed towards the back of the case (and not towards the top, as you see on the photos above), the cooling efficiency increases by 3-4°C. Therefore, we decided to run all the tests with the cooler installed in this particular way.

The college kids today must have a lot of pent-up aggression. Maybe it's all that money the NCAA is making off of them.
You figure out how angry they are when you start looking for the best dunks of the last 10 years. Guys keep throwing down harder and harder as time goes by.
It's not easy to pick 10, so I apologize if (insert your favorite dunker on your favorite team) did not make it. Hundreds of dunks were in consideration. These 10 from the last 10 seasons either had more creativity or degree of difficulty than the rest.
Enjoy the rim hate.

As America's economic challenges continue, Fresno Area Express (FAX) has joined with other public transportation systems nationwide to participate in the fourth annual National Dump the Pump Day on June 18th. Sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the 2009 National Dump the Pump Day encourages people to ride public transportation to save money, protect the environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and improve our quality of life.
"America is facing a number of significant economic challenges right now," said Ken Hamm, Director of Transportation. "People that use public transportation are helping to answer those challenges for themselves and for their country. That's why we're asking people to join us and dump the pump on June 18th."
"Public transportation also has an important role to play in the energy and environmental debate," said Ken Hamm. "If you leave your car behind to take public transportation, you will be helping to reduce America's dependence on foreign energy and combat climate change.
"By participating in Dump the Pump Day, we hope people who have never used FAX will decide to give us a try instead of driving their car," said Ken Hamm. "We'll be welcoming new riders and thanking our regular riders on National Dump the Pump Day.
For more information, the public may call 621-RIDE.

Anti-Aging Secrets1 of 7
We can't think of one person who doesn't want younger looking skin. Thankfully ELLE's Emily Hebert rounded up some top skin experts to get their advice on keeping that youthful radiance. -Glo
Do Double Duty2 of 7
Teenage Twi-Hards with blemishes are likely already on an anti-aging skin care regimen, says Jeffrey Dover, M.D., president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and author of The Youth Equation: Take 10 Years Off Your Face: "Prescription retinoid creams were originally developed as acne treatments, but subsequently it was discovered that they also helped reverse sun damage and skin aging."
Pack On Antioxidants3 of 7
Vitamins A and C are known for their steadfast plumping and brightening (Dover calls them the best of all the vitamins). But other antioxidants — think green tea and pomegranate — can be great anti-aging allies too. Model Agyness Deyn sees esthetician Christine Chin twice a month for facial sessions, which culminate with a green tea mask.
ON ELLE: Brighten Up Your Eyes
Get On It Early4 of 7
Dermatologist Cheryl Burgess, M.D., recommends women get neuromodulator injections (think Botox and Dysport) in expressive areas of the face before etchings in the skin actually occur. "People can tell in their 20s and 30s if they have strong lines of expression," she explains. "Neuromodulators delay the appearance of creases by relaxing muscles so that they don't contract as forcefully when expressions are made."
Find Inner Peace5 of 7
In between workouts with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel stays relaxed and toned with yoga sessions. And according to yoga master Tara Stiles, who appears in the ELLE Make Better Workout Yoga DVD, de-stressing through yoga is also great for the skin. "It revs up circulation and is believed to rejuvenate cells," she revealed to ELLE earlier this year.

Reveal Brighter Skin6 of 7
Dull skin can be a major downer. To keep your complexion bright and youthful, Downie says it's important to exfoliate regularly so that fresh skin cells can surface — something that model Gisele Bündchen is well aware of. When she's in NYC, Bündchen books microdermabrasion sessions with Chin. "It removes all the stars in the sky and leaves me with just the planets," says Chin about the treatment. "Afterward, your skin looks rejuvenated."
Get Beauty Sleep7 of 7
Rihanna has said that getting enough rest is imperative to her skin looking good — which makes sense, given that nighttime is when skin cells regenerate and are more receptive to anti-aging creams. "There are circadian rhythms that happen in nature and also with the skin," explains Burgess.

The social entrepreneurship idea behind Think Act Vote was the desire by Amisha Ghadiali to empower people to choose their own futures through the power of democracy. The simple question behind the project was to ask people to visualize the world that they would like to live in, and this simple idea generated a lot of excitement around the project.
Given Amisha's previous projects as the associate director for the Ethical Fashion Forum, she felt the need to incorporate a fashion element into her new project. So she decided to launch a T-shirt design competition and create a line of environmentally-themed T-shirts in a partnership with eco-fashion design company Komodo. She managed to get some leading fashion designers to participate with custom pieces made from recycled materials and then hosted an interactive photo-booth event where people were filmed wearing the fashion designs and talking about their ideas for a better world.

A Statistical Survey of Dioxin-Like Compounds in U.S. Pork Fat
The purpose of this paper is to report on the results of a joint survey of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the rate of occurrence and concentration of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs), chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs), and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the fat of U.S. pork animals. This survey, conducted in 1997, was the first statistically designed national survey of levels of CDDs/CDFs/PCBs in pork animals in the U.S. It was prompted by EPA's Reassessment of Dioxin-Like Compounds and funded from EPA's Dioxin Exposure Initiative. It is the second joint USDA/EPA effort of its kind, the first being a survey of beef back fat.

Lebanon: Hezbollah's way
Mohamad Bazzi says Lebanon's southern frontier with Israel is the most volatile border in the Middle East today.
Mohamad Bazzi says Lebanon's southern frontier with Israel is the most volatile border in the Middle East today.
Lebanon faces new sectarian violence, and tensions along its border with Israel threaten to boil over. CFR's Mohamad Bazzi says to help avert conflict, Washington must eventually engage with the most powerful force in Lebanon: Hezbollah.
See more in Israel; Lebanon; Politics and Strategy
This Contingency Planning Memorandum assesses scenarios and warning signs of renewed Israel-Hezbollah conflict and recommends U.S. action to prevent a "Third Lebanon War."
See more in Conflict Prevention; Lebanon
Mohamad Bazzi comments on the death of Shiite cleric Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah.
Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevenson argue that demilitarizing Hezbollah is crucial to rolling back Iranian influence in the Middle East and shaping an environment more conducive to Arab-Israeli accomodation.
See more in Iran; Lebanon; Terrorist Organizations and Networks
Elliott Abrams argues that if indeed Syria is supplying Hezbollah with SCUD missiles, Israel's right to self defense as well as the relevant UN resolutions allow military action against this threat--and the United States should make this clear.
See more in Lebanon; Syria; Arms Industries and Trade
Mohamad Bazzi writes that the U.S. and Europe must ensure that the most volatile border in the Middle East--Lebanon's southern frontier with Israel--stays under control.
Although Lebanon has a new U.S.-backed Prime Minister, Hezbollah remains the dominant military and political force and it holds the key to both domestic and external stability, writes Mohamad Bazzi.
See more in Lebanon; Israel; Conflict Prevention
CFR's Mohamad Bazzi says while a new unity government in Lebanon after months of political uncertainty is welcomed by Washington, inclusion of Hezbollah poses potential challenges.
See more in Political Movements and Protests; Lebanon; Culture and Foreign Policy; Diplomacy and Statecraft
Deep seated sectarian differences are the root of political instability in Lebanon, writes Mohamad Bazzi.
See more in Lebanon; Politics and Strategy
"What is wrong with Lebanon and why is it so hard for elected politicians to form a government?" asks Mohamad Bazzi, citing an obsolete political system as a reason for government instability.
See more in Ethnicity, Minorities, and National Identity; Lebanon; Politics and Strategy
Mohamad Bazzi reviews The Media Relations Department of Hizbollah Wishes You a Happy Birthday, by Neil MacFarquhar.
Elliott Abrams argues that Lebanon's recent elections can be considered "free," while Iran's elections should not.
See more in Lebanon; Democratization; Iran
Following the Lebanon's parliamentary elections, CFR's Mohamad Bazzi says a crucial question for the new government is whether it can operate without allowing Hezbollah and its allies to retain their veto power in the cabinet.
A pro-Western coalition appears to have defeated Hezbollah in Lebanon's parliamentary vote, but analysts say the group will likely continue to be a power broker in Lebanese politics.
Lebanon's upcoming parliamentary elections, pitting pro-Western political elements against a coalition led by Hezbollah, will test the country's ability to manage political change among many factions.
In this New York Times Op-Ed Tzipi Livni, a former vice prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Israel, writes about Lebanon's upcoming parliamentary elections and comments that voting alone does not constitute democracy, but rather the values of participating parties must also be taken into account.
Listen to CFR experts Mohamad Bazzi and Steven Cook discuss the June 7, 2009 parliamentary elections and the future of Lebanon.

In this teleconference with Steven A. Cook, Mohamad Bazzi provides an overview of the upcoming elections in Lebanon, and puts forward several post-election scenarios.

A Bad Breakdown for CopperBy Jeff Clark
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Copper and the S&P 500 usually run together.
But they've been going in different directions since February.
And this week, copper has broken down badly...
Take a look at this one-year chart of copper...
The next level of support for the metal comes in around $3.30. But it could get even worse than that. The breakdown on the longer-term chart below looks even more ominous...
Copper has broken down from a long-term consolidating-triangle pattern. The measured move out of this type of pattern usually equals the height at the beginning of the triangle. Since the bottom of the triangle is at $3.10 and the top is near $3.90, the height of the triangle is $0.80.
Copper broke down from the pattern at about the $3.60 level. So subtracting $0.80 from the breakdown point gives us a measured target of $2.80. That approximately lines up with the low from the summer of 2010.
Copper has initial support at $3.30 and then again at $3.10. The metal could bounce briefly off both of those levels. But over time, copper should decline toward the $2.80 level.
We looked at the relationship between copper and the stock market last August. Stocks were moving higher and copper was lagging behind. At the time, I suggested one of the charts was lying... Either copper had to start rallying to catch up with the gains in the stock market, or stocks had to start falling to come back in line with the action in copper. Back then, copper played "catch up" and the stock market rally continued.
Today, we have a similar situation. Only this time, the chart of copper looks more "bad" than the chart of the S&P 500 looks "good."
Best regards and good trading,
Jeff Clark

river ganges dreaming
Dozing to the sounds of the sacred river lapping against your boat and seeing the city of Varanasi coming into view are just some of the incredible real life experiences that you can expect on India's River Ganges. Kate Gates found her journey so extraordinary that she had to ask herself, was it real or an amazing dream…
"I sank back onto the cushions covering the floor of our little boat as we slipped off down the Ganges. We heard only faint watery sounds and the occasional distant cow or village bell breaking the silence.
There were three boats for twelve Intrepid travellers, plus one extra for food and camping gear. At lunchtime all the boats were lashed together as we continued to float downstream. Exotic platters of delicious food were passed from boat to boat, all magically produced by an elderly man squatting over a one-burner contraption in the fourth boat. Most of us fell asleep after that, waking only when we felt a gentle bump as we pulled into the bank.
That night the boat skippers set up a large tent for meals and several small sleeping tents. The boat cushions were now in use as mattresses. We sat around the campfire getting to know one another and looking up at the unfamiliar stars. At midnight we toasted the New Year. It was the best New Year's celebration ever.
After more blissful floating, heavenly eating and lazy chat, our destination came into view. It looked like a medieval town looming through the mist, with fires burning along the ghats and the fading sun bathing the tumbledown buildings in a ghostly light. Was this a dream or were we really gliding into the fabled Varanasi?"

Keith Avery helps schools, leads research in bullying prevention
Keith Avery
, counselor/educator and licensed clinical psychologist in the Dyson Wellness Center, is conducting research with a Chicago area school district to assess bullying issues, school climate and the social and emotional development of students in grades K-12. Working with administrators at Kenilworth School District 38 in Illinois, he is assessing 400 K-8th grade students and the staff and faculty regarding bullying behavior, school climate issues, and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as required by Illinois State Law Public Act 93-0495. The law requires schools to assess and track SEL development and implement a program as part of their regular curriculum, just as they do with math, reading and other state learning standards. Avery has developed the SEL School to help administrators and teachers be compliant with state standards and have a comprehensive bullying prevention program. It involves needs assessment, consultation, curriculum advice and tracking. Bullying and school climate issues can be traced back to unattained SEL objectives. With the help of computer science major Russell Christiansen '02/M '06, the SEL School utilizes a web-based software program—the first electronic and data-driven student bullying and school climate tracking program. It allows students, teachers, parents and bus drivers to participate in the process. The research data and survey results track those involved in bullying, what happened, and when and where an incident took place. This information gives school administration personnel an opportunity to become proactive, rather than reactive when it comes to student behaviors and school climate issues. The information is also critical because the majority of issues do not reach the attention of adults in the school. Background for this effort began in 2000, when Avery formed a community-business partnership with two schools in the Naperville Community Unit School District 203, Kennedy Junior High and Maplebrook Elementary schools. This partnership provided the means to assist students, provide monthly parenting seminars and numerous project development challenges.

Wall Street Protester Struggles to Explain, Well, Anything (Video)
I had every intention of going down to the Occupy Kansas City hippie village and conducting interviews, but the water pump on the Green Monster, aka my 1998 Forest Green Chevrolet Malibu, had different plans and began throwing coolant like Linda Blair throws pea soup.
But that's neither here nor there, and really far to graphic.
In my mind, I imagined every interview down there going exactly like this one:
Let me sum this up for you:
Wall Street Protester: I think this.
British Dude: Here. Have some facts.
Wall Street Protester: *Recoils like a vampire near garlic.*
These guys have no idea what they are doing down there. They haven't thought past step one. Here's their plan:
Step One: Go protest.
Step Two: ??
Step Three: ??
Step Four: Collectivist Utopia.
I thinking showering may be step three, but from what I've seen, it's possibly one of the things to be purged in the New America.

Welcome to Maths Our World
We hope your visit to Maths Our World brings you a greater love of mathematics, both for its beauty and its power to help solve everyday problems. To improve the maths learning experience of you or your child, it might be wise to consider retaining the services of a maths tutor. There are several factors that you should keep in mind when choosing the right tutor: Formal Education, Experience, Training, Location, Availability, Pratice & Testing, and also pricing. You also have to consider the Student-Teacher Ratio; as many academic studies have documented that students learn best when they have more attention to their individual needs. Thus, smaller classroom sizes, or even one-on-one learning, are advisable to maximize the benefits of the math tutoring.
