McNeese State baseball coach Terry Burrows (American Press Archives)

By Alex Hickey / American Press
Last season, McNeese State had the pitching depth to become a contender for the first time in coach Terry Burrows' tenure. As it turned out, it was also the first time the Cowboys didn't have the hitting to do so.
McNeese (24-30, 17-16 Southland) finished with a winning record in conference play before going two-and-out in the SLC tournament.
"Everyone says pitching and defense wins games. There's no doubt about that," said Burrows, entering his sixth season as head coach. "But in this conference you have to be able to score runs."
With the bulk of last year's pitching back this season and some new arms tacked on, the Cowboys will try to continue improving in the runs allowed department in 2013.
The question mark will be the offense, but Burrows said he thinks a combination of new faces and more experienced returners will provide a positive answer, beginning with this weekend's season-opening series against Towson at Cowboy Diamond.
Burrows said a perceived lack of offensive punch is why McNeese was picked eighth in the 10-team conference by coaches and sports information directors.
"I don't think too many people recognize we can be pretty doggone good," Burrows said. "We pitched it well but couldn't score. I think we're going to surprise some people offensively."
The light-hitting perception was reality for last year's squad. The Cowboys were at the bottom of the league in just about every major offensive category: batting (.239), slugging (.319), on-base (.318), runs (202) and RBIs (170).
Burrows said he's counting on a pair of junior college transfers in the heart of the order to turn that around — designated hitter Lucas Quary and left fielder Jackson Gooch.
Gooch, a native of Ladner, British Columbia, hit .415 with 18 home runs and 72 RBIs using a wood bat for Lamar (Colo.) Community College.
"He's a special kid," Burrows said. "It'll be something to see. He's had some adjustments to make. Facing Division I pitching is definitely different. But he can hit with power."
Quary is expected to double up as the closer when he overcomes shoulder stiffness that kept him off the mound this week. In the meantime, LSU transfer and Rosepine native Sam Peterson will get the ball to finish games.
Setting the table atop the batting order are center fielder Andrew Guillotte and right fielder Skylar Barrentine.
Guillotte hit .210 last year, but Burrows has seen an improved approach from the sophomore this offseason.
"We wanted to lead him off last year, but being a freshman he kind of took his lumps," Burrows said. "He had a good fall and a good spring, so he's going to lead off. It's been a long time since we've had guys who can hit 1 and 2, and hopefully we have that if these guys can do what they're capable of doing."
Junior Taylor Drake returns as the starter at third, and Matt Henry will again get the call behind the plate.
Connor Lloyd will play shortstop full-time after splitting time at second base last year. Righty Michael Sullivan and lefty Chayse Merion might platoon at first, and Burrows said he plans on playing Tyler Klouser, Hans Ask and Phillip LeBleu at second base in the season's early going.
Burrows will see just how much depth he has in the starting pitching rotation during the season's first month.
Expected Friday night starter Michael Clemens is out until mid-March with a broken hand, moving Blake Ware and Jason Gibson up a day from their anticipated spots.
Burrows said Barbe High grad Bryce Kingsley and junior college transfer Michael Desabrais are his top two options to start on Sunday.

Weekend Snippets
It was pouring rain almost all weekend so I spent most of Friday indoors. I needed something to do on my breaks so I baked an apple pie. Totally makes sense.
I managed to squeeze in some down time after a morning photo session and did a bit of reading. I'm way behind on my goal of reading 30 books in 2012, mainly because that dang Sherlock Holmes book is taking forever.
We had a lot of oranges and tangerines piling up from our weekly CSA shares so The Boyfriend decided to make some freshly squeezed juice. And you know what I realized? That guy would make a phenomenal bartender. He kept topping off my juice glass all morning. It was like a never-ending fountain of vitamin C.
How was your weekend?
PS - Don't forget to enter my two giveaways here and here!!

I have almost 0 programming experience and exactly 0 art and networking experience and don't plan on learning anything other then the overall general basics I need to know to design a game within a budget I can spend. I know I know everyone has a idea and you will never beable to do this blah blah blah. I don't care. I believe strong enough in my ideas on game mechanics and revenue generation to spend the next year or two trying. So the main questions for right now before I even begin making a game design document are...
What do I need to learn before it even makes sense to make a game design document and where can I learn it? Keep in mind the budget for the game is not going to be known until after the document is done as I plan on using that to put the people and resources together to try to make this happen. I'm hoping based on nothing really that 250k is a bare minimium to make something close to what I want in terms of gameplay. If I just wanted to make a nintendo nes graphics level game with more advanced gameplay and mechanics and beable to handle 500 concurrent users in a persistant world do you think that would be enough money? Assuming I'm paying a normal wage for all or most work (could probably get some cheap or free art at this level of graphics)? If not how much would be needed and how much of that is paid labor for programming, art, networking vs licensing and hardware etc costs? How much do costs go up as the graphics improve? Think the exact same game but NES level to GTA 2 level graphics? What would the extra cost be in $ or multiples of the original art budget?
What is the cost breakdown of making a MMO? The massive multiplayer aspect is the most important part of this idea (other then my original ideas i'm not going to share). How much of the cost does this aspect account for in terms of both extra programming and servers and bandwidth needed? If I have a game that can handle 1000 concurrent users is that going to be significantly more costly then the same game that could handle only 100 users? Does the size of the ingame world drastically effect the amount of servers or size of servers needed? Does the maximum number of players that can be in a certain area at the same time or in the same "instance" of the game affect cost alot? Would having gameplay that "instances" off small teams of players in certain areas be more cost effective?
Are there any patents that I'm going to have to be careful of violating or that basically every MMO has to pay a fee for using? If so what is going to be the cost of licensing the basic patents to make a MMO?
I realize some of these questions are mostly unanswerable without knowing exactly what the game design is but I'm just looking for very rough estimates atm to determine what to plan for in the game design and business plan. Any examples of other sub $10 million MMO's and their production costs and features would be useful. Any questions you can answer or new questions you think I should ask myself or helpful links you can provide would be appreciated. I have no illusions of making a AAA graphic game and realize that getting any game done with little to no money out of pocket and 0 experience in the industry is completely unheard of so no need to make a negative post telling me that. Thanks

the NRA needs to get in there and turn up the heat--
Republicans Cave In - Senators near a deal on background checks for most private gun sales
February 24, 2013
Source: Washington Post
A bipartisan group of senators is on the verge of a deal that would expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions, but significant disagreements remain on the issue of keeping records of private gun sales, according to aides familiar with the talks.
An agreement would be a bold first step toward consideration of legislation to limit gun violence in the wake of the mass shootings at a Connecticut elementary school in December and comes as the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected this week to begin considering new proposals to limit gun violence.
The talks, led by two Democrats and two Republicans, are expected to earn more GOP support in the coming days and likely enough to move the bill through the Senate, according to senior aides of both parties who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
These negotiations are challenging, as youd expect on an issue as complicated as guns, the chief negotiator, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), said in a statement Saturday. But all of the senators involved are approaching this in good faith. We are all serious about wanting to get something done, and we are going to keep trying.
Full article here
Black Blade: As I have been saying, the Republican Party is dead. They are as useless as balls on a priest and tits on a nun . They won't even stand up on their hind legs and fight when they have a winning position against gun control. I wash my hands of them.

the NRA needs to get in there and turn up the heat--
I think i might be done with those jackwads. Even worse, there is a short blurb in that article that says the house is working on their own legislation apart from the senate. Sickening.
Does anybody notice that whenever Dems and Republicans work together it is alwasy worse for everybody else??? Just saying...

well it ain't rally democrats and republicans working together,
what it is is that Obamma held out a sack full of $$$ hoping there would be enough crooks in the rupea-ublican party stupid and greedy enough to grab the sack of $$ and run--
looks like greed wins one for the socialist -
-- Obamma is smart enough to use the republican weakness "greed" against us all.
Well either way they are just are just making decisions irregardless of what America really wants. Sure waving letters from school age kids looks good but trying to enforce issues pushed by people who DONT EVEN OWN GUNS, seems to be the knee jerk to both parties. Repubs caved on taxes, and will most ikely continue to cave lest they be potrayed as "unapproachable" or "extremists". This contry started to take a dive when our elected representatives started bending your morals in pursuit of self gain. Now is not the time for the party which proclaims it represents "The Moral of America" to start bending with the tide.

Talk about 'balls on a priest and tits on a nun'; Do you think that now that Ratzenburger is no longer pope, do you think he'll be tried for war crimes first? or pedophilia?
Where is the Repub who will stand up and say...Hell no we won't debate-we won't grandfather shit. Nothing will be changed!! Come after them and you WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!! You guys just don't get it! They get this...what's next?? These assholes will not stop! They hate us and want us dis-armed.
You're dead on Bill. There really isn't a Democratic and Republican party anymore. They are all just actors portraying what they are told by their puppetmaster(s) to do. They pretend to fight over an issue, just like television wrestlers do. The outcome is already known. The Republicans come to a "compromise" with the Democrats, and they institute some new law, rule, regulation, or whatever that was EXACTLY what they wanted all along. I am so freaking sick of this sham that is Washington Politics, it's not even funny. We are WAY past the point where our founding fathers would have been spurred into action.

Avis sur les autres logements de cet hôte
Tis is a beautiful apartment! Close to the metro and in a nice environment.
The hoste host was realy helpful.
We liked our stay!!!
Great accommodation, close to U-Bahn and close to the center. Karsten was very welcoming, showed us around the apartment and took the time to provide us with some local tips for bars and restaurants that tourists won't find.
The apartment itself is tastefully decorated in an artsy way. It's quite big (bigger than we expected from the pictures), especially the bedroom. The bedroom has blinds, so if you want to lay in, you won't be waken up by the sunlight. The apartment was clean on arrival.
We came by car. Parking is free on the street, but you have to be a bit lucky to find a spot.
This apartment in Mitte is very nice! Lovely interior.
Only 2 min walk from the tube. In the same street very good Italian to have lunch and around the corner a good place to have breakfast or lunch or dinner or take away, called la vita, this is in front of the tunestation.
The host of this apartment is very friendly, will help with anything.
I highly recommend this apartment.
Suuper Appartment in Mitte! Gross, sauber, ruhig...was will man mehr! Wenige Gehminuten von der U-Bahn Station. Auch zu Fuss ist alles sehr gut zu erreichen bsp Friedrichstraße oder Oranienburgerstrasse für Bars, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Würde ich jederzeit Weiterempfehlen!!!
El apartamento no es muy lujoso pero es muy acogedor y tiene de todo. Además está muy bien ubicado y en 4 paradas te pones en el centro de Berlín. Su propietario es muy amable y a la llegada nos explicó con todo detalle las distintas posibilidades para hacer. Sin dudarlo volveríamos a alojarnos en este apartamento de nuevo.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well, you are back to trying to figure out what the city water is offering to the tank.
However, when in doubt, dose more then do a large water change would normally be my suggestion. That way you know the plants are not deficient for the things that you can control.
ANY water change (no matter if the tap water is really stable from week to week or variable) will create changing levels of nutrients for the tank.
Given that your lights are getting old that might be another issue to address. If you are still seeing the light as 'OK', that does not mean that it is still OK through the whole spectrum. The plant specific wavelengths may have dropped off more than you think.
If you are having problems with the CO2, then I think that is more important than the fertilizers.
I would address things in this order:
Fix the lights (new bulbs)
Fix the CO2
Dose something like EI (no limiting ferts, no matter what the tap water is doing)
Remove algae by hand
Then monitor the tank for plant growth and algae.
Continue to record the variations in the tap water so you can figure out if you need to alter something. If you find something you want to alter, then do this before the water change, run the water into a barrel and do whatever changes you feel will help.
Another thing you can look into is reverse osmosis for the house. This will remove the 'variable tap water' from the puzzle.
Diana: Thank you for your input it is much appreciated I have my tank here ready to go in if boosting the nitrates and my other efforts do not work out. unfortunately it would seem my burkert 6011 is not functioning and stuck shut I'm looking into replacing/ repairing it now.
Tetra: OP? not following you. I have used this amount of light with no CO2 in an established and well planted tank before with little to no algae issues in different water. Please note although I have approximately 220 watts of light I've only been using half of this at 110 watts and since the first week of running the tank photo period has dropped to 9 hours. Furthermore these bulbs are a year old it is my opinion they have lost a lot of their intensity.
As far as under dosing, in the first week I had green water and was doing blackouts. Doesn't make sense to dose when GW is an issue to me. Soon after this was cleared the Filamentous and cyano started showing up. I guessed phosphates were my problem & addressed it with Phoslock. Didn't do much so now I'm dosing Nitrate to see how the tank reacts. I plan to begin dosing regular levels at regular intervals soon but I feel it is necessary to get a hold on the city water parameters before I begin dosing. Being in a new city with a new water supply means that the way I used to run my aquariums and the nutrient dosing I had previously used is not going to be exactly the same. I am still in the process of figuring it out, it has been about a month and I'd say I'm beginning to get a grasp.
I had a 40 gal with a 2 x 65 watt PC on a Tang tank before with Anubis java moss and java ferns on a 10 Hour photo period with no CO2 in my previous house and the only algae I ever dealt with was some green spot and a bit of green fuzz when I got lazy with water changes.
Anyways since maintaining N levels growth of the green filamentous algae has dropped and the cyano is starting to slow down a bit. I want to begin dosing P and K now but I'm not sure if this is the best plan since I'm still battling it out with cyano. any thoughts?
Hahahaah...the OP has all the answers. Why posting here? Yeah, is the city water. What? No CO2. 10 hours of light. 200w+ T5HO light in a 75g tank. Underdosing ferts. Surely, that can't be the algae farm I am trying so far to setup.
For the OP, let's get real. Anything you have told us so far are the perfect conditions to grow algae. The city water is the least you have to worry about. If you worry so much about the city water, go use RO water.
I would start with this:
Add pressurized CO2. Set a steady level, so it is really consistent. This might take a week or two. You want the CO2 to be fairly high, but do not gas the fish.
Decide what parameters you will aim for in the tank water.
Ammonia = 0 ppm
Nitrite = 0 ppm
Nitrate = between 5-20 ppm
...and so on. Set ranges that are suitable to your livestock.
Start a record. Test the tap water at least once a week and record:
Ammonia, NO2, NO3
All other tests you have.
When the water from the city looks the best, do as large a water change as you need to, and think about storing a barrel (perhaps a 50 gallon drum) of that 'best water' to be ready for another water change or 2.
When the water from the city is bad, but you absolutely have to do a water change then use as much RO as you can, and as little city water as you can. Add minerals to the RO water to make it match the GH etc. that you are aiming for.
Look into ways to pre-treat the city water to even it out and get rid of whatever things it has that you do not want in the tank.
|Happy water hunting.
|I believe it has lots to with the tap water, I agree the lighting might not be optimal but there is more going on than that. I'm told by the lfs manager who's been breeding Cichlids in this water or years told me anyone who has a non planted tank has cichlids or community on single tubes with low photo periods to prevent algae. He also said anyone with plants uses RO water because the city's water isn't good to grow them and the parameters fluctuate too much. I want to attempt to address this issue first, furthermore in the previous city that I lived in the water was much more stable and in tanks with more light than this and no CO2 including this one I had far less to no issues with algae as long as regular maintenance and proper nutrient levels were present.
|The silicates could have contributed to the "brown algae on glass" (diatoms)
|Well, the gist of the comments from everybody is it's your light, nothing to do with your tap water, silicates and what not. You need to lower your lights or add CO2, and add fertilizers including phosphates. Plants need them to live.
Haha that's quite true, however I always just assumed for florescent tubes the wpg rule could be used as a guideline, while for other methods like MH, SV, PC and LED it was obviously not functional. It's good to know its not really good for anything but the larger diameter Florescent's.
I contacted the city water lab today apparently they don't test P but got me a 2012 record of a test done by environment Canada reading 0.01 mg/L This means little to me though as obviously once a year test in a river is not a reliable number to go by.
I've been looking at silicates and algae growth and I remembered something about silicates in the water quality report I read earlier. Turns out Sodium Silicate is dosed and reads anywhere from 2.3-20.2 mg/L could this be my problem ?

Now try using the wpg rule on LED. You'll get scorched plants.

I just ordered a few more plants to help with nutrient uptake so I'm going to keep on track with a couple of things.
a) keep up with the removal of cyano
b) keep N above 5 mg/L
c) reduce photo period
d) add more plants
e) keep up with WC if anything do more
f) last resort add CO2
Now I'm dosing N should I be considering dosing K or P at this point as well, or maybe just K considering at this point I'm assuming the P levels are already moderate?
|Ah, the watts per gallon rule. Forget that rule for anything that's not a t-8 bulb.
I have a yearly water quality report from the city so I can see a lot of data but not a bunch there is a good amount of fluctuation from what I can see. TDS is not one of there listed readings but id imagine there is a good amount looking at the list of minerals present. I'm told the water here is perfect for Cichlids by many and that thats pretty much all people out here keep. I just did a WC yesterday so maybe my KH is a low reading I'll test again at the end of the week as well as GH.
I'm going to keep the nitrates up and see how that goes before I figure out if CO2 is really necessary to keep the algae at bay.
As far as the phoslock goes I only used it because of the initial green water blooms as a test to see how the tank would react to lower P levels.
I'm starting to feel If I reduce the photo period and keep N levels up as well as introduce some more plants I can combat this.
No, 1.4 wpg from T-5 HO is a lot of light. That much calls for pressurized CO2 on a tank that big.
5 ppm NO3 is the absolute lowest that I would let it get. Maintain the dosing for a week or so, and see how much the plants are using. Dose more as needed. In my low tech tanks I allow it to drop to 5 ppm because I know it is not going to hit 0 ppm too fast. In a high tech tank the plants can use 5 ppm in just a day.
Yes, P tests can be inaccurate, and there can still be enough P for the plants that are too low for the tests (hobby kits) to show. If you still want to use Phosorb use it when you are pre-treating the water for a water change. Do not allow it to hit 0 ppm, though. Plants seem to do well at any level from under 1 ppm to 5 or more ppm without triggering algae growth as long as other issues (like carbon) are under control.
Having rock that adds minerals to the water is helpful, but when you do a water change it takes a while to build up to that mineral level again. The tank goes through swings in mineral levels that are not good for the fish. Best is to alter the water before the water change, and use the rock as a way to fine tune the water between water changes.
A TDS meter might be of benefit here. When the tap water is questionable, or known to vary, this can give you more info about how variable it is.
It's only 1.4 wpg though it would still seem relativity low light at that to me no? Yeah dropping the photo period would probably help it already seems to have. I have a pressurized CO2 system but I'd really prefer to not use it if possible or excel for that matter. I've recently begun to dose N to 5 mg/L to see if things get any better with the cyano. I also did a P test but it read 0 not that I really trust it as I know P tests can be inaccurate.
I Think I'll see a rise in both KH and GH but I agree it could be harder. There's about 100 lbs of reef rock in the tank I actually just tested to see the Kh and it was at 7 so not great still but obviously the rock is helping the tap water.

The next day we decided to explore the other side of the Vltava river in Prague. We walked across the Charles Bridge and went up the funicular to see the views of the city. We also saw the John Lennon wall and took a boat ride on the river, even going down some canals to see Prague Venice (a tiny bit of Prague that looks like Venice). The city is very pretty and we got a whole new perspective of it by going on the river.

Was listening to the Sportscast on Toronto 6pm Supper Hour Cast and Lance Brown just said they had to take out "The Goose Lift" because it's now considered an illiegal lift.
First...Is it true they had to do this? If so, is it the no hands lift?
Was listening to the Sportscast on Toronto 6pm Supper Hour Cast and Lance Brown just said they had to take out "The Goose Lift" because it's now considered an illiegal lift.
First...Is it true they had to do this? If so, is it the no hands lift?
Yes, the "goose" is the no hands lift. I didn't hear that but only that Tessa had to change the dismount. It doesn't surprise me that something as difficult and spectacular would be deemed illegal especially in an olympic year. If this is true, I find it highly suspect.
That is odd since they have been competing with it all year and getting credit for it.
Yes, I heard that they had to change the dismount. Illegal. I think they are keeping the lift itself, though. It is odd that they've had no deduction for it thus far and now it is being termed illegal.
They've done it, what - 3 or 4 times so far? No illegal call, not once. I thought in GPF the dismount already looked a bit different. But I don't get what part of it is illegal. The landing?
Found an article:
Seems it "may" be viewed as illegal so they don't want to take chances with it. Apparently, the grey area is the dismount. It's too bad - it really was a "wow" move! I hope the altered version is still something unique.
Could then Davis & White be in trouble as well?
The only difference is that Meryl puts her hands on Charlie's shoulders when she jum.. I mean dismounts herself.
I wonder if the question is whether or not Tessa is allowed to land on one foot (I believe this was the intent although not always entirely successful) or if it's that she does a full rotation in the air before landing.
Meryl lands on two feet and IIRC only does half a rotation. So there may not be an issue of potential illegality with their lift, if in fact one of the issues I'm wondering about is correct.
We'll see what's been changed this weekend. I'm sure one of the Canadian commentators will remark on it at some point as well.
I found CoR and Nebelhorn, and looks like Meryl lands on 2 feet there too. I thought lifts are supposed to end 1-footed, but maybe I shouldn't blindly trust TAT's rants in 'Ice Age'.
What bothers me is the technical committee didn't make the call, it was more like they intimidated Scott and Tessa into dropping it, per the article. They said they were "looking into it". So they could continue to train it only to have the rug pulled out from under ... or drop it. It stinks to high heaven.
Meanwhile apparently the russian ISU technical controller personally assured Domnina and Shabalin that their belt moves and lifts were perfectly fine.
That's not a frickin gray area? Only the dismount is?
I don't think landing on two feet is an issue. Meryl lands/dismounts on two feet in all of their lifts in the free dance and at least on in the OD. I think that is fairly common.
Not sure why this is an issue for TAT.
Speaking of the belts, I thought I read somewhere that the ice dance tech committee was going to meet prior to Euros to discuss the belts and their legality. Has this happened?
Thanks to one and all for the answers and yes...This does indeed seem rather fishy.
I don't know why TAT always comments on that in "IA". She seems to think it should be that way. Well, obviously a two-feet landing is easier than a one-foot one. Why did Tessa do a perfectly clean one-foot landing in the 'Goose' last time? If it doesn't mean much in terms of goe. Maybe she's a perfectionist.
Too bad not so many posters on this board speak Russian. There's been a interesting discussion reg D/S's belt lifts in a TV program called "Free program".
Alla Shekhovtsova was a guest that day. She says the belts create an illusion of a flight, and flight symbolizes love. Her other comments (including the ones on the OD) are just as fascinating. She also says she reads the boards, but won't reveal her username.
Here's another article about it. I remember in 2002, when Averbukh had a solo jump in the FD. Commentators said dancers could do jumps, as long as they weren't more than one rotation. Not sure if the rules have changed since then.

Constrained budgets and a lack of action at the federal level are causing states, regions, and cities across the country to develop innovative infrastructure solutions, according to Infrastructure 2012: Spotlight on Leadership, released by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Ernst & Young LLP.
State and local governments are increasingly adopting creative funding strategies such as public ballot measures for sales or gas taxes, bond issues, and user fees such as tolls. Public-private partnerships and sources of private investment are also a growing part of the equation.
In some cases, advanced technology is the answer. San Francisco increased parking meter revenue by 20% in 2011 with the SFpark management system, which uses sensors to adjust meter prices based on demand and allows users to track meter availability via smartphones.
"Tough times have a way of helping reshape priorities," says ULI Senior Resident Fellow Maureen McAvey. "Local governments are stepping up to the plate, assuming more responsibilities, and leveraging many sources of funding to build the infrastructure to bolster flagging economies and position for the future."
The study highlights forward-thinking solutions of local and regional governments: multicounty funding for a regional transit system in North Carolina; bundled ballot measures for civic projects in Oklahoma City; a $40 billion ballot initiative for transportation investments in Los Angeles; a Chicago-area effort to secure future water supply; and a regional transit corridor in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The report stresses the United States still lags behind its global competitors in infrastructure funding. However, the gap may be closing as the global recession takes its toll on infrastructure spending in Europe, India, Brazil, and even China.
"In both the U.S. and Europe, the era of massive infrastructure investments may be over," says Ernst & Young LLP's Global Real Estate Leader Howard Roth. "Although local governments may have success in doing more with less, the overall state of the infrastructure in these nations will deteriorate unless the political will and funding to make the needed investments materializes."
|A deeper look at infrastructure challenges
In the most recent issue of its Insightmagazine, KPMG LLP addresses the complex and urgent challenges of infrastructure funding. Articles offer key insights into topics such as innovative financing and funding models, sharing risk and reducing costs, and the evolving infrastructure fund market.
The semiannual magazine features a series of interviews with industry leaders sharing their perspectives on key issues:

Butler County sits in southwestern Ohio on Interstate 75. Its population of 339,828 ranks it as the eighth largest county in the state, and its current expansion boom is expected to continue for decades to come. Facing such significant sustained growth, the Butler County Department of Environmental Services (BCDES) has its work cut out. Through innovative business and management practices, open communication, and adaptation of new technology, BCDES provides water and sewer service to its customers efficiently and cost-effectively.
One of the most notable projects the BCDES recently tackled demonstrated the department's commitment to employing the latest technology and encouraging widespread input. The Upper Mill Creek Water Reclamation Facility was built in 1980 with a 4-mgd capacity and a rotating biological contactor. Rapid growth in its service area necessitated expansion over the next two decades. By the end of the century, through the addition of oxidation ditches, the facility's capacity had been boosted to 16 mgd. However, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements for nitrite and nitrate—set to take effect Jan. 31, 2006—required further changes.
In 2003, the BCDES engaged a team of engineering consultants to craft a plan that would improve sludge handling, correct operational problems, install a new centrifuge, construct biological nutrient removal tanks, and add clarifiers to accommodate peak flow rates. The overall project—which will reach completion in the first quarter of 2006—cost $13 million, including design and construction management. Through process modeling, the design team determined the biological nutrient removal tanks could be decreased in sized, saving an estimated $750,000. In addition, BCDES personnel—in order to ensure the resulting design would meet department requirements—oversaw and consulted throughout the design process.
"The county believes in total involvement in the planning, design, and implementation of a project," said Michael J. Foley, chief engineer. "It is not just given to a consultant and the results accepted."
Soliciting input and communication is something that BCDES managers feel enhances results, and they encourage it at all levels in their day-to-day operations. "Our engineering team is special because they know and value the input from operations staff," said Susan E. Vance, director of BCDES. "Because of this, we have efficiently engineered plants, pumping stations, and other infrastructure that can be operated as designed."
BCDES also believes in open communication with its constituents, frequently inviting interested parties to focus groups. "Focus groups give us the opportunity to gain feedback on our rates, programs and services, and customer impressions," said MaryLynn Lodor, environmental department head. "By asking the tough questions, we can change or tweak our approach. We may not be able to lower rates, but we can communicate better so that the customers understand what they are paying for and how something will affect them."
BCDES also serves its constituents by forming close ties with utilities in surrounding communities. For example, the department has entered into water supply contracts with nearby cities Cincinnati and Hamilton, helping conserve a range of costs.
"BCDES purposefully identifies and develops regional partnerships with other utilities and entities that offer significant benefits over other alternatives," said Robert B. Leventry, deputy director. "Benefits accrue to customers both in terms of service levels, lower and more stable utility rates, and environmental quality. Capital investment, labor, energy, and chemical savings are also analyzed for each regional relationship. Since the benefits and costs must also be realized by BCDES's regional partner, savings and services are spread beyond the department's immediate customer base."
Also, when planning for the future, a top priority is to maximize the benefit to the agency's constituents. "By keeping apprised of upcoming water quality issues and concerns on either groundwater or surface water, we can be poised to respond appropriately if necessary," said Lodor. "When we do have a role to play, we often go through what the director calls the red-face test. 'Will this pass muster with our ratepayers? Is there a benefit to our customers and the bottom line?' By developing projects that are good for ratepayers as well as good for the county's economic development or environment, we can maximize the overall gain."
The agency's propensity for forward thinking is further illustrated in its numerous master plans. These models help managers analyze growth and project future needs. Earlier this year, the department completed its water master plan, which identifies and evaluates system improvements needed through 2022. Using its geographic information system, BCDES assigned each undeveloped parcel in the service area an expected development density and timeframe; analysts then translated the information into estimated water demand. Results will help the department craft plans for infrastructure improvements that anticipate future needs.

Former world heavyweight boxing champion and businessman George Foreman addressed the University of St. Thomas 2010 graduating class about "Success with Integrity," at the 60th Commencement Ceremony, held at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 15 at Reliant Arena, located at One Reliant Park. The ceremony celebrated the achievements of 305 undergraduates and 320 graduate students. Commencement was preceded by a Baccalaureate Mass held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 14 at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, 1111 Saint Joseph Pkwy. The Mass was followed by a reception held on the UST campus.
A charismatic personality in the world of boxing, a minister, entrepreneur, husband, father of ten, and rancher, Foreman was born in Marshall, and grew up in Houston. He learned to box in a U.S. Job Corps camp in California. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, he won the gold medal in the heavyweight boxing competition. Foreman first captured the professional heavyweight belt by knocking out Joe Frazier at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22, 1973. He had won all 40 of his professional bouts, including a sequence of 24 consecutive knockouts, when he fell to Muhammad Ali in eight rounds in the "Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Congo), on October 30, 1974. He retired from the ring in 1977. He was ordained a minister and began preaching in Houston. In 1984, he founded the George Foreman Youth and Community Center in Houston. In 1994, Foreman became, at 44, the oldest fighter ever to win the heavyweight crown. When not promoting Meineke mufflers or selling Lean Mean Grilling Machines, Foreman tends to his ministry and charitable work, including most recently his "Knock-Out Pediatric Cancer" initiative. He spends free time with his family on his ranch in Marshall.
Nicole Keith took the stage as the student commencement speaker. She is a communication major and theology minor from Pearland. Her speech, "A Generation of Possibility," encouraged students to go forth and "achieve your dreams, but never forget what you learned at St. Thomas." Keith participated in Campus Ministry, and has served as a Student Government Association senator, a Presidential Ambassador and Freshman Orientation vice-chair. She has worked at Guinan Residence Hall, and the offices of Student Activities and Academic Advising.
Honorary doctorates were given to David M. McClanahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of CenterPoint Energy, and Dr. Joseph McFadden, University of St. Thomas President Emeritus. McClanahan previously served as president and chief executive officer of Houston Lighting and Power and Reliant Energy Regulated Group.
He also served as Chairman of the UST Board of Directors from 1998-2002. McFadden served as President of the University from 1988 to 1997. Upon his retirement, he returned to the classroom at UST as a professor of American and Irish history. He is the Executive Director Emeritus of the International Council of Universities of St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Vincent J. Guinan Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Vincent D'Amico, class of 1952, for his continual volunteerism and tireless efforts to raise scholarship monies, recruit new students and promote the University to the community. A former teacher, he is a champion of education and educators. D'Amico's first endowed scholarship, in honor of his mother, benefits students in the music program. His second scholarship was established in honor of his father and benefits communication majors. D'Amico's third scholarship was established in honor of his hero Robert Frost to benefit education majors. He recently established his fourth endowed scholarship for UST's School of Nursing, currently in development, in honor of his mother, who always wanted to be a nurse.

Futures Down Slightly; Genworth & Chesapeake Rising, MasterCard & Time Warner Falling
Stock futures are down a fraction this morning, ahead of the start of May's trading.
Up in premarket trades are shares of Genworth Financial (GNW) and Cheseapeake Energy (CHK).
Genworth was up 4.5% after it reported that its first-quarter profit more than doubled and beat estimates. As Bloomberg reports:
Chief Executive Officer Tom McInerney, who took the top job this year, is benefiting as a recovering U.S. housing market bolsters the company's U.S. mortgage-insurance unit after losses mounted as home prices crashed. Genworth has reached a deal to sell its wealth-management business and is boosting prices for long-term-care coverage as McInerney works to add capital.
Chesapeake, announcing its first results since the ouster of CEO Aubrey McClendon, also rose about 4.5% after its adjusted profit of 30 cents and revenue of $3.42 billion handily beat forecasts of 25 cents a share profit on revenue of $2.85 billion. It also said it was raising its full-year oil production guidance by 1 million barrels.
Some stocks were falling post-earnings however, notably Time Warner (TWX) and MasterCard (MA), both down more than 2%.
Time Warner beat profit estimates, but revenue missed forecasts. As my colleague Johanna Bennett notes, revenue from the media company's network division, boosted by more domestic HBO subscribers and increased ad revenue from Turner's domestic networks, helped offset lower publishing, film and televisions entertainment revenue. The overall result was essentially flat year-on-year revenue.
MasterCard also beat profit estimates but lagged on revenue -- a common feature of this earnings season. As WSJ reports, revenue was hit by higher rebate and incentive payments:
Executives have previously cautioned that revenue and earnings growth could be below its three-year targets it set last year due to the sluggish global economic environment. The company is targeting a compound annual growth rate of 11% to 14% for net revenue and at least 20% for earnings per share from this year through 2015.

All joking aside, the drought and wildfires are no laughing matter. Texas is hurting badly, and we need all the white light, rain, and prayers you can offer. But on a lighter note --
The newspapers in TX have been keeping tabs on the extent of the drought. It's official. It is a very serious situation.
These facts regarding the water shortage have officially come to light:

The Baptists are now sprinkling.
The Methodists have adopted the use of Wet Wipes.
The Presbyterians are handing out rain checks.
The Catholics are praying that the wine be turned back into water.

Brandon Spalding is in his fourth season as the head men's cross country coach and assistant men's track & field coach at Washington and Lee University. In his first three seasons, the cross country team placed third at the ODAC Championship twice, and won the title in 2015. The win was the first for the porgram since 2007.
The Generals had two runners earn First Team All-ODAC accolades (Ian McDonald '17 & Mac Strehler '17) in 2015, and two made it on the second team (Levi Warring '16 & Alex Dolwick '19). Strehler was named the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Spalding was named the ODAC Coach of the Year. W&L went on to place sixth at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional, which marked the program's best finish since 2007. Strehler and Warring each earned all-region honors.
Along with a third-place finish in 2014, Spalding coached McDonald to ODAC Runner of the Year accolades for winning the individual ODAC title. McDonald became the first conference champion since 2005. Strehler also earned First Team All-ODAC honors, taking fourth, and Warring garnered Second Team All-ODAC laurels.
At the NCAA South/Southeast Regional, Warring finished seventh overall to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championship. He was the Generals' first qualifier since 2007. W&L finished seventh at the Regional, and had three all-region runners (Warring, Strehler and McDonald). Warring went on to place 222nd out of 280 competitors at the national championship.
In his first season, Spalding coached Strehler to First Team All-ODAC accolades, and Strehler was named the Rookie of the Year, W&L's first since 2004. The Generals took 12th at the NCAA South/Southeast Region Championship and had two runners (Strehler and Warring) garner all-region recognition.
During the 2014-15 track and field seasons, Spalding helped coach McDonald to All-America honors in the mile, when McDonald finished second (4:12.07) at the NCAA 2015 Indoor Track and Field Championship. The time set a new school and ODAC record.
Over his three years as an assistant track coach, Spalding has also coached two individuals and one relay to eight ODAC Championships -- Strehler in the indoor 5,000m (2014) and McDonald in the outdoor 1,500m (2014 & 2016), the indoor mile (2015 & 2016) and the indoor 3,000m (2015 & 2016). The distance medley relay, consisting of Hank Patrick '19, Albert Del Cristo '19, Jake Roberts '17 and Warring, claimed the title in 2016. McDonald was named the Athlete of the Meet at the indoor championship in 2015 and Strehler was named the Rookie of the Meet at the indoor championship in 2014.
Spalding came to W&L from Rhodes College, where he served as an assistant men's and women's cross country and assistant men's and women's track & field coach for the previous two years.
During his time at Rhodes, Spalding helped coach 10 cross country runners to all-conference accolades, while helping lead the women's cross country team to a second-place finish at the NCAA South/Southeast Region Championship and a berth to the NCAA National Championships in 2011. He also helped coach both the men's and women's track & field teams to a SAA Outdoor Championship this spring, while mentoring nine all-conference runners and three conference champions. Spalding has also helped coach his runners to a combined three school records over his two seasons.
Prior to arriving at Rhodes, Spalding served as the head men's and women's cross country coach and assistant track & field coach at Bethany College in West Virginia from 2010-11. In cross country, he helped coach a woman to the program's highest individual finish in five seasons, while also coaching the first men's all-conference runner in three years. In two seasons with the track & field programs, he assisted in producing three all-conference runners and two new school records, while also coaching an NCAA Provisional Qualifier in the 800 meters in 2011.
Spalding is a 2009 graduate of Bridgewater College, where he earned a bachelor of science in health and exercise science. He was a three-time First Team All-ODAC honoree on the cross country course, earning all-region honors three times, including in 2006 when he finished fifth overall at the NCAA South/Southeast Region Championships and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship meet. In track & field, he earned Second Team All-ODAC honors four times, doing so in the 5,000 meters and with the distance medley relay team.
Spalding holds a USA Track & Field Level 1 Coaching Certification and is also certified in First Aid and CPR/AED. He competed at the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon and the 2011 Boston Marathon.

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.
Good customer attention, wide common areas and rooms, good place to store mobile phones and card near head while asleep, well connected via public transport. Improvable mattress, absence of fridge for storing drinks and food in the room. Lockers are a little bit tricky to lock.

Wireless Emergency Alerts: a new way to get weather warnings
Tornadoes can happen anytime of year, but there are two tornado seasons in our region. The secondary season occurs in October and November. The primary season is March, April, and May.
The next time a tornado warning is issued for your area, you may get an alert on your cell phone, even if you have never signed up for the service.
The StormTrack 5 Team and WCYB.com offer customized severe weather alerts to your e-mail or cell phone. Click here for more information.
But now the U.S. Government may send an alert to your cell phone during certain types of severe weather. The system is called Wireless Emergency Alerts.
Anthony Cavallucci is the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service Office in Morristown, Tennessee.
Anthony tells us, "you will only receive a 'WEA' alert if you have that phone and it's a tornado warning, ice storm warning, blizzard warning, or flash flood warning."
Severe thunderstorm warnings are NOT broadcast through the 'WEA' system at this time, but you can sign up for those here at WCYB.com.
The Wireless Emergency Alerts are available through most providers, but only on compatible phones. You can see a list of compatible phones and participating carriers here. The 'WEA' alerts are free, and will be short, giving you just enough information telling you to take shelter or watch local media for more information.
Anthony tells us, "it just says a tornado warning for your area until whatever time, and that's when you should turn on your NOAA weather radio, which I highly recommend, or get some other source, tune into the television."
It's important to remember that this new system is not meant to replace other ways of getting severe weather alerts.
Anthony says, "redundancy is always a nice thing, especially when you want to protect your family, yourself, or your friends. If you have multiple ways of receiving information, the text alert is just one more way to receive the info."
The alerts are only sent out to those in the affected county. So if a tornado warning is issued for part of Greene County, all of the cell phone towers in Greene county will transmit the alert. That's a really nice feature for those traveling.
As always, you can stay with the StormTrack 5 Weather Team on-air, online, or on mobile.

In the White Mountains, the Sky is Limitless
Roundhouse Resort • Pinetop, AZ
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests in a Lodge Studio or Lodge One-Bedroom
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Far from the cacti-dotted deserts of southern Arizona, the White Mountains in the state's northern region are known for their blushing sandstone cliffs, ponderosa pines, and abundance of year-round outdoor activities. Hiking and mountain biking trails are plentiful here: The White Mountain Trail System offers more than 200 miles of protected pathways and the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest encompass more than 2.76 million acres of protected land.
The Digs
Nestled in the small town of Pinetop, about four hours from Phoenix, the Roundhouse Resort sits close to the expansive trails of the Apache-Sitgreaves. Drop your bags in your room—outfitted with TVs, a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, and original artwork—and then set out for the resort's heated indoor pool, Ping-Pong tables, or racquetball court. In the evening, dig into the prime rib or mesquite-broiled steak at Charlie Clark's Steakhouse.
"I was blown away by the great variety of the resort's recreational facilities—a large indoor pool, racquetball court, basketball court, table tennis, pool tables, and a workout room."-- TripAdvisor

This piece of fucking emu shit was the local Realtor association's president, too, an exemplar of his profession's ethics, as demonstrated in his stalking of the child:
'According to the report, on one occasion, Budek put sugar on the girl's face and licked it off in an attempt to kiss her. Budek said later his tongue hitting her mouth was an accident.
The girl, aged between 12 and 18 years, placed a controlled call to Budek on Dec. 10, in which he said he was sorry for touching her breasts, and he wouldn't do it again.
Budek was arrested on three counts of lewd and lascivious behavior on Dec. 20 and was released on $15,000 bond. He is required to wear a GPS monitor and refrain from contacting the victim or her family.'
Does anyone really doubt that America and its children wouldn't be safer if we impaled ALL the Realtors?

Academic BackgroundPh.D. Composition and Rhetoric, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, 2007.
Dissertation: IT Managers, Construction Marketers, and Emergency Medical Technicians: Professional Adult Learners in Higher Education (chair, Thomas Newkirk)
M.A.T. English Education, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, 1999.
B.A. English, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, 1996.
I joined the English Department at Rhode Island College in the fall of 2008, having completed my doctorate at the University of New Hampshire in English with a concentration in composition and rhetoric. Most of the courses I teach are writing courses, all of which focus on helping students develop as writers and some of which introduce students to research and scholarship about writing and rhetoric. I teach professional writing, digital and multimedia writing, first-year composition and a range of other writing courses. I also sometimes teach themed courses in which students write about food and eating and/or gender and masculinity.
My research frequently investigates the processes by which people learn to write. An early project focused on the experiences of adult students returning to school, learning or re-learning to produce academic forms of writing. A more recent project investigates the ways in which student-writing interns learn to write in new professional settings. I am also interested in the history of writing instruction in colleges and universities and towards these ends, I am currently working on a project focused on the development of writing instruction at my alma mater, the University of New Hampshire. Finally, because I frequently work with faculty in other disciplines on how to teach writing, I'm also interested in research in the area called Writing Across the Curriculum.
Outside of my teaching and service commitments to the English Department, a significant part of my work at the college comes in the form of my engagement with the RIC Writing Board. I have been chair of the board for several years and via this work I have taken on a professional identity as someone who supports other faculty as they learn to implement effective writing pedagogy. In my capacity as Writing Board chair, I offer seminars, workshops, and one-on-one guidance on how to teach writing in the disciplines. I am the founder and lead-facilitator of the annual Summer Seminar for the Teaching of Writing (SSTW) a weeklong intensive course for faculty on writing pedagogy. Working with faculty in other disciplines has become one of the significant pleasures of my work here at RIC.
Outside of work here at the college, I'm an active tennis player, swimmer, and runner. I have two children whose lives I have been documenting for many years via weblogs or "blogs." I enjoy cooking for and with family and friends. The beach is a place of special significance for me and I spend many hours at Rhode Island's beaches—swimming, walking the dog, or just playing with my kids in the sand.

Behind the Headlines: Could This Anti-Bullying Campaign Make It Worse?
Craig and Marc Kielburger | Posted 12.28.2012 | Canada
Read More: Girls on the Run, Shari Graydon, Bullying Prevention, Free the Children, Stomp Out Bullying, Kielburger, Erika Katz, Poll, Canada News
When we first learned that one beauty brand is joining the battle against bullying by donating to a fund that offers a teen help line for bully victims, our heads turned. There are others. An admirable message, all. But what about the medium? For us, campaigns like these raise more questions than answers. Can a cosmetics company make a sincere plea to stop bullying and plump up the customer's pout or zap a zit? Or are these token donations -- made by companies whose marketing strategies tend to reinforce teens' fixation with physical appearance -- suspect?

New Residence Hall
Groundbreaking for the New Residence Hall was held on May 17, 2006.
Pictured left to right (Steve Hughes, Joe Beretta, Jack Warner, Frank Caprio, John Nazarian, Michael Ryan, Sarah Courtemache, George Agostini, Rick Reuter, Orestes Monterecy, Gary Penfield, Ivy Locke, Teresa Brown)
The construction process for the new 125,500 square feet residence hall has
started. The first phase is the clearing of trees and preparing the site for
construction. This is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
project; so, a minimal number of trees are cut and it is the intent of the project
to minimally impact the surrounding environment. The general contractor is Bacon
Construction and the design architect is Robinson Green Beretta.
