GOP try to repeal Colo. expanded background checks
DENVER - Colorado Republicans and gun rights advocates will argue for a repeal of expanded background checks on firearms that passed in the aftermath of recent mass shootings.
A Republican Senate bill is expected to draw a big crowd when it is heard in committee Monday afternoon. However, repeal supporters face long odds because Democrats have the votes to defeat the legislation.
Last year, Democrats passed gun-control laws that included limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and requiring background checks for private and online sales.
Pueblo Republican Sen. George Rivera is sponsoring the bill to repeal the new background check requirements.
Two Democratic senators lost their jobs as a result through subsequent recall elections, and a third resigned under pressure when a recall effort was underway.
Rivera replaced one of the recalled lawmakers.

Flamboyant makeovers were Donald Grant Sunderland's signature when he was a resident interior designer on television show Changing Rooms.
So guests and visitors who are familiar with the show often get quite a surprise when they first step into Sunderland House, the boutique B&B he runs with wife Kathy.
"A lot of people say, 'Oh, this isn't like Changing Rooms'," laughs Donald, who has gone for a classic, elegant look throughout the three-level home to create a restful and luxurious environment for guests.
The replica villa was purpose-built as a B&B 10 years ago when Donald and Kathy bought the land from a developer who had already gained consent to build a house in keeping with the surrounding homes.
"The footprint was done by the developer but we changed the layout," says Donald, who points out that the configuration would work just as well for a family.
Kathy says the idea to build and run a B&B came about because the couple loves entertaining.
"We started doing it because we would run into people in a hotel somewhere and get talking and we'd say, 'If you're ever in Auckland, you must come and have a meal with us'," she says.
Guests stay on the top level, where there is a kitchenette on the landing and three bedrooms, all with en suites. Although the look is classic and restrained throughout these rooms, the wow factor is still delivered through Donald's choice of colours, fabrics, light fittings, tapware, furniture and artworks.
Donald, who still works in interior design, points out that the furniture and artworks have been "gathered on life's journey".
"I didn't want to theme the house," he says. "I don't like things to be matchy-matchy; I much prefer that eclectic look."
The Premier Suite features a beautiful stand-alone clawfoot bath framed with railways tiles in one corner. Through a door is a bathroom with shower, and his and hers wardrobes sit behind and either side of the bulkhead of the bed. A balcony enjoys views back to the city.
The other bedrooms on this level - The Green Room and The Red Room - also have railway tiles in their en suites that complement the colour schemes of the respective rooms.
On the middle level is Donald and Kathy's bedroom, with an en suite and laundry. Their space occupies a corner of the house so that it can be shut off from the living areas.
Across the hallway is a formal lounge with gas fire and built-in bookshelves.
This level also opens out to a veranda overlooking the street.
At one end of the lounge is what the couple call their "folly" - a space they created to look like a built-in veranda that connects to the kitchen at the back of the house.
Designed for entertaining, the country-style kitchen has vast expanses of Corian benches, a wine fridge, three DishDrawers, two ovens and lots of open shelving to accommodate everything from pots and pans to platters.
"This kitchen will be very hard to leave behind," says Donald, who bakes daily for guests.
Kitchen and dining room are part of an open-plan space, with a partial wall shielding "the snug" at the western end. A series of French doors along the rear of the house open it out to a covered deck surrounded by a subtropical garden.
Another favourite spot is the media room on the lower level, where they can shut themselves away to watch a movie.
Although the couple has loved playing host to visitors from far and wide, they now want to downsize and take things a bit easier. In fact, they have been so good at welcoming guests that Sunderland House is now rated number one B&B in Auckland City on tripadvisor.com - something that has made it even busier.
Donald exclaims, "We never thought it would be so successful!"

Steve Ellis serves as Secretary of the National HoneyBee Advisory Board and is a large scale bee-farmer
He placed 1,312 of his hives Minnesota in his normal bee-yard territory. A nearby farm planted corn a few days later and the dust - presumably clothianidin (used on 90%+ of American corn as seed treatment) blew around and contaminated willows and other plants the bees were foraging on. The kill started on May 7th and Steve is still waiting results of tests. He is certain it was the neonics in the corn planted dust.
I asked him how many of the 1,312 hives were affected and he said 'all of them'.
Doesn't yet know ho many of the contaminated hives will collapse completely but he says it is already a 'massive depopulation' event. He wrote:
"1,312 hives were on that location, all were affected. Impossible to estimate % of population of each hive killed as yet. Suffice to say it was a severe depopulation event."
From: Steve Ellis
Date: 15 May 2013 22:57:29 GMT+01:00
Dear All,
Below is a video link to a short You Tube piece which my newly hired bee keeper in training-photographer spliced together, showing the bee injury associated with corn planting of neo nics.
The Minnesota Dept of Agriculture, Bayer, Bee Informed Partnership, and Penn State are all currently working on getting samples analyzed for chemical residues.
Picture is worth a thousand words. James did a nice job of filming and editing. Voice is mine.

Thanks for your help!!


text: Brian - I made a great impromptu pasta salad last week that you might enjoy. I used farfalle (bow tie pasta) - cook as you normally would. Then I cut up asparagus spears into 1+ inch pieces and briefly blanched them so that they were still al dente (prep and drop in salted boiling water - boil for about 2 minutes and drop into ice water bath to stop cooking). For a sauce to pull it all together I made a basil walnut pesto - about 2 cups of walnuts, 4 cups of basil leaves, salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil that I infused with a few garlic cloves (amount of oil TBD based on how much you need to make a good paste) - whirl in food processor, add to pasta and asparagus, and serve at room temperature. You could also add chopped hard boiled egg if you like or grated cheese, but I made mine without cheese and didn't miss it. You could also try kale chips - very easy to make, tasty and very good for you. If you try those and like them, you could try making them just a little less crisp, then slicing them up and tossing them with a tahini dressing and some nuts.

text: I hand quilt and use many different color threads in a single quilt quite often. Doing it now as a matter of fact. I agree with the others to not do SITD. If you're taking the time to hand quilt, then let those stitches show! You'll have consistent stitches in no time. If you're wanting to do 'waves' in the water - which I think is a great idea, btw - try looking in the scrapbooking section of JoAnns or other craft stores for a wavy edge ruler. Makes that process easier and more consistent (if that's what you're looking for). Or find shapes or whatever from coloring books, etc. and just make yourself a cardboard template of the outline for your quilting design.

Let's get back to the truth about the Willits Environmental Center, shall we?
An individual in our community, Dave Oncale, has recently written several caustic letters to this newspaper concerning the WEC. However, all Mr. Oncale has accomplished is to wreck the facts themselves. It seems as if he is less concerned with discussing reality than he is with pursuing a personal vendetta.
More on this in a moment.
First I would like to say that I do find his colorful, stream-of-consciousness writing style to be absolutely wondrous. It shows amazing creative talent that the man can tumble from one issue to another faster than the speed of light. What a ride it always is!
But now let's look at his allegations against the WEC and then compare them with the truths:
Allegation: WEC is using taxpayer money for the lawsuit against the bypass and will profit from it.
The truth: The lawsuit has been entirely funded by private donations. It has come out of the pockets of everyday people who care.
Almost all lawsuits on any issue in this country contain a provision by which the plaintiffs and the defendants ask the court to grant the winning side reimbursement for the attorney costs and Court fees. Only where one side or the other is found by the judge to have egregiously violated law will the Judge issue such an order. But win or lose, there is no chance, nor request for, the WEC or its directors to gain a single dollar. The WEC and its personnel have never received any monies as a result of any lawsuit.
It was with great reluctance that the WEC and the other four organizations sued over the bypass. It is not an easy thing to go up against Goliath. The fact remains that everyone in all these five groups are taxpayers, too. But if we can end up with something smaller and less damaging, maybe we can save the public some significant money.
Allegation: WEC has sued the Willits Horseman's Association over the new riding arena.
The truth: Absolutely not so. Neither lawsuit, nor complaint, nor opposition to the new arena exists in reality.
Apparently, when CalTrans gave the WHA the property for the arena (in compensation for the taking of the old one) it neglected to inform the WHA that the land was designated as seasonal floodplain. When the Army Corps of Engineers noted the grading and filling that occurred during construction, the Corps itself called for the WHA to retroactively obtain the necessary permitting, as required by law.
The WEC appreciates the service the WHA provides to the community and has said so in a letter to it.
Allegation: that the WEC is about to sue to stop the new Howard Memorial Hospital.
The truth: The WEC, along with many others in the community, went on-board in 2006 with full support for the new hospital. In cooperation with the Howard Hospital Foundation, the WEC sent out a letter to its entire mailing list asking those on it to contribute to the fundraising effort to build a locally owned facility.
You can check this out with Margie Handley. (Note to Bruce Burton: you also should have done this before you tried to spread the same falsehood in your first article in midsummer.)
Allegation: WEC is friendly with and silent on the pollution caused by marijuana-growing.
The truth: The WEC sponsored a packed-house forum at Willits City Hall about four years ago on the illegal water diversions, pollution, and the damage done to our public lands, especially the Mendocino National Forest, by marijuana gardens. This forum brought together the Sheriff's Office, the USFS Special Agent on Law Enforcement from San Francisco, and the Department of Fish and Game, among others. At that time the Forest Service was dragging its feet about tackling the problem.
Sheriff Allman's successful "Full Court Press" grew out of that forum.
The WEC then held several meetings with Mike Thompson and his staff to initiate ways that funds could be uncovered to deal with the problem. As a result, the WEC for several years has organized volunteers for the cleanup and eradication of former MNF grow sites, and has acted as pass-through agency for funds granted by the Forest Resource Advisory Committee to do so.
You could check this out with Tom Allman, John Pinches, or Mike Thompson.
Allegation: WEC is somehow aligned with the notorious River Watch group out of Sonoma County.
The truth: Back in 2001, River Watch, headed by attorney Jack Silver, latched onto an obscure portion of the Clean Water Act that enabled him to essentially shake down municipalities for "remediation fees" simply for suing them over technical water quality violations that were already in the process of being resolved. When River Watch sued Willits, the city attorney came to the WEC and asked it neutrally chair a private settlement meeting between him and Silver.
The WEC agreed, but after just one meeting it was obvious River Watch was not interested in anything less than a financial payoff of about $90,000. At that point, the WEC dropped out of the process.
In a March 12, 2001, article in the Press-Democrat, WEC board member David Drell is quoted lambasting River Watch for its profiteering and the damage its actions had done to legitimate environmental advocacy groups, such as the WEC.
You could look up that article, or you could just ask Ross Walker, former Willits city attorney and manager.
Allegation: WEC and other environmental groups are following a "left-wing agenda" to bring ruin to the country.
The truth: This is not about politics. Even people on the far-right are agreed the most dangerous illegal activity of all is when government itself violates the laws of the land. And people all across the spectrum are opposed to superfluous waste of taxpayer money for boondoggle projects when there are cheaper, more effective alternatives.
It is true and deep patriotism to defend America the Beautiful, this land that we love, from shining seas to purple mountains majesty, against those who would needlessly despoil her, even if that despoiler is an arm of government.
Check that out with Thomas Jefferson.
How very odd that some people have come to believe that patriotism means the exact opposite.
Willits is a community of fair-minded people who always welcome healthy, respectful, accurate, and civil discourse.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gary W. Owen is a Willits resident and businessman since 1979.

FDA Approves Fluad Seasonal Influenza Vaccine »

Quadrivalent (Influenza Vaccine Live) Intranasal Spray
FluMist Quadrivalent (Influenza Vaccine Live, Intranasal) is a live quadrivalent vaccine for administration by intranasal spray. FluMist Quadrivalent contains four vaccine virus strains: an A/H1N1 strain, an A/H3N2 strain and two B strains. FluMist Quadrivalent contains B strains from both the B/Yamagata/16/88 and the B/Victoria/2/87 lineages. FluMist Quadrivalent is manufactured according to the same process as FluMist.
The influenza virus strains in FluMist Quadrivalent are (a) cold-adapted (ca) (i.e., they replicate efficiently at 25°C, a temperature that is restrictive for replication of many wild-type influenza viruses); (b) temperature-sensitive (ts) (i.e., they are restricted in replication at 37°C (Type B strains) or 39°C (Type A strains), temperatures at which many wild-type influenza viruses grow efficiently); and (c) attenuated (att) (i.e., they do not produce classic influenza-like illness in the ferret model of human influenza infection).
No evidence of reversion has been observed in the recovered vaccine strains that have been tested (135 of possible 250 recovered isolates) using FluMist [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. For each of the four reassortant strains in FluMist Quadrivalent, the six internal gene segments responsible for ca, ts, and att phenotypes are derived from a master donor virus (MDV), and the two segments that encode the two surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), are derived from the corresponding antigenically relevant wild-type influenza viruses. Thus, the four viruses contained in FluMist Quadrivalent maintain the replication characteristics and phenotypic properties of the MDV and express the HA and NA of wild-type viruses. For the Type A MDV, at least five geneYeah. It hatic loci in three different internal gene segments contribute to the ts and att phenotypes. For the Type B MDV, at least three genetic loci in two different internal gene segments contribute to both the ts and att properties; five genetic loci in three gene segments control the ca property.
Each of the reassortant strains in FluMist Quadrivalent express the HA and NA of wild- type viruses that are related to strains expected to circulate during the 2016-2017 influenza season. Three of the viruses (A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and one B strain) have been recommended by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) for inclusion in the annual trivalent and quadrivalent influenza vaccine formulations. An additional B strain has been recommended by the USPHS for inclusion in the quadrivalent influenza vaccine formulation.
Specific pathogen-free (SPF) eggs are inoculated with each of the reassortant strains and incubated to allow vaccine virus replication. The allantoic fluid of these eggs is harvested, pooled, and then clarified by filtration. The virus is concentrated by ultracentrifugation and diluted with stabilizing buffer to obtain the final sucrose and potassium phosphate concentrations. The viral harvests are then sterile filtered to produce the monovalent bulks. Each lot is tested for ca, ts, and att phenotypes and is also tested extensively by in vitro and in vivo methods to detect adventitious agents. Monovalent bulks from the four strains are subsequently blended and diluted as required to attain the desired potency with stabilizing buffers to produce the quadrivalent bulk vaccine. The bulk vaccine is then filled directly into individual sprayers for nasal administration.
Each pre-filled refrigerated FluMist Quadrivalent sprayer contains a single 0.2 mL dose. Each 0.2 mL dose contains 106.5-7.5 FFU (fluorescent focus units) of live attenuated influenza virus reassortants of each of the four strains: A/Bolivia/559/2013 (H1N1) (an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus), A/New Caledonia/71/2014 (H3N2) (an A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus), B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata/16/88 lineage), and B/Brisbane/60/2008 (B/Victoria/2/87 lineage). Each 0.2 mL dose also contains 0.188 mg/dose monosodium glutamate, 2.00 mg/dose hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, 2.42 mg/dose arginine, 13.68 mg/dose sucrose, 2.26 mg/dose dibasic potassium phosphate, and 0.96 mg/dose monobasic potassium phosphate. Each dose contains residual amounts of ovalbumin ( < 0.24 mcg/dose), and may also contain residual amounts of gentamicin sulfate ( < 0.015 mcg/mL), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) ( < 0.37 mcg/dose). FluMist Quadrivalent contains no preservatives.
The tip attached to the sprayer is equipped with a nozzle that produces a fine mist that is primarily deposited in the nose and nasopharynx. FluMist Quadrivalent is a colorless to pale yellow suspension and is clear to slightly cloudy.
What are the possible side effects of influenza virus nasal vaccine (FluMist 2012-2013)?
Nasal influenza virus (live virus) vaccine may cause you to have mild flu-like symptoms. However, you may have flu-like symptoms at any time during flu season that may be caused by strains of influenza virus that are not contained in the vaccine.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first dose.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. If you ever need to receive another nasal influenza virus vaccine in the future, you will need to tell the doctor if the...

Hello Fello Warréors,
I made an unwise box removal in early fall, and put it back on the hive after killing much brood by chilling. There was lots of nectar in it, and minimal honey.
All that to say that I've been feeding this hive honey from another colony in my yard.
I've seen first hand the robbing that can take place when using a boardman feeder in the entrance. No more.
I still use my boardman feeder, but now it's inside the quilt box instead of the entrance.
I used a knife to cut a slit that penetrated both the quilt cloth and the top cloth. You don't have to orient the cut parallel to the topbars, but I think it's easier. Also, the cut doesn't have to be between top bars. Wherever you think you can pull up both cloths and do the least damage. Mine was lightly propolized to the top bars.
Now, pull up one side of the incision and slip the ledge of the boardman feeder underneath both cloth layers.
The jar is easy to monitor and replace without opening the hive, and the bees get the feed in the spot that most helps them.
You do need to make sure that your quilt box is taller than your jar, or otherwise make arrangements for clearance. I found it easiest to remove all of the shavings before making the incision, and replacing them after the feeder was installed. My shavings hold together so that when I remove an empty jar the jar shaped cavity remains making it easy to load a fresh jar of feed.
I have no idea whether they're eating it straight away or simply taking it down and storing it.
Doubt I'm the first to cobble this type of top feeder together, but I'm sure loving it.

Can I give my bees brood builder patties right now. To stimulate them. Also is it a good Idea to feed them HFCS right now? And where can I buy Corn syrup bulk in Oregon/Washington
Can I give my bees brood builder patties right now. To stimulate them. Also is it a good Idea to feed them HFCS right now? And where can I buy Corn syrup bulk in Oregon/Washington
Feeding bees the right pollen sub will give you stronger hives next spring assuming you got young queens and mites knocked down.
Call this # and ask for syrup in Portland. 1-888-553-8393
You could also try Mann lake. They have syrup in Kent I believe.
But Can I feed them pollen patties so they will get stronger right now? and where do you recommend to get the patties or what the recipe
You can buy a box of protein patties from Mann Lake, though I question why you woul;d want to. Seems like there aught to be pollen coming in from the environment. I don't know if it is a good idea to do that now. You may not get the results that you are hoping for. It's not that instantaneous.
I think you may be trying to control something you don't need to. Bees make better beekeepers than beekeepers make bees.
Mark Berninghausen
Cam Bishop
Nutra Bee
Too which I would add that you need to plan what you are going to do with all those bees in the spring if you start now feeding sub, because they are likely to be very populous and prone to swarm if you don't plan to split or something first. That has been my experience, but it's a way better problem to have than weak sickly hives with small clusters.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
They only sell syrup in 50,000 gallon tanks
Or 5 gallon buckets. Isn't that available in the catalogs? BetterBee sells it that way.
Mark Berninghausen
If you show up with your totes and barrels they will fill them up for you.
Mann lake charges 37 cents per pound i found 55 gallon barrels for 19 cents a pound
It certainly will not hurt to feed protein, but don't feed more than they can use. Check to see how much pollen they are hauling in and how much is in the hive -- there must be a fair amount this time of year as the winter dearth will be starting and if they don't have enough, you get weak bees.
Our climate here is different, but we've had good luck with a pound per hive of pollen supplement in September, fed in smaller amounts (hive beetles love it too). Nice fat bees make for nice clusters and plenty of resources for making winter brood and hence large, strong hives in spring.
Does Mann lakes pro health help right now?
Pro health increases robbing but also increases syrup intake. Any weak hives could easily get robbed to death. I use it in my sub and syrup.
Some people believe in it while others dont. Ever since I started using it hives never had nosema.
My nucs are still drawing comb while being fed both Pro Health and syrup. Wouldn't do that without it.

text: Trying queen rearing this year, probably will use a four frame medium for the mating nuc, other than putting in a frame of honey and pollen, does it help to put in a little brood also? If so, does it matter whether it's sealed brood or open brood? About how many bees can I get by with when I stock the nuc? After stocking nuc but before inserting queen cell, should the bees be screened in for a day? What about after the cell is put in, can you confine them for a couple days to make sure they stay. Thanks, John.

To the Editors:
Henry Petroski's Engineering column "Tappan Zee Bridge" in the May–June issue states that the Tappan Zee Bridge has a lifetime of only 50 years and that it is going to be replaced. But as Petroski mentions in the article, there are other bridges such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, and the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City that are more than 100 years old. Nobody talks about these structures having reached the end of their useful life. In Europe there are bridges built 2,000 years ago by the Romans that still function well, even under modern traffic. Why do modern U. S. bridges have such short life spans?
Philipp KornreichElectrical Engineering & Computer Science DepartmentSyracuse UniversitySyracuse, NY
Dr. Petroski responds:
The difference in lifetime among bridges across different eras and designs may be explained at least in part by four interrelated factors: materials, money, maintenance, and mathematics. Stone is generally more durable than steel, which needs to be protected against corrosion. Stone construction, however, is much more time-consuming and hence expensive, and so is not considered practical for modern bridge projects. The long 14-year construction time for the Brooklyn Bridge was due in part to the building of its masonry towers. Still, that bridge might have collapsed long ago had engineers not discovered that inferior steel wire, provided by an unscrupulous supplier, had been incorporated into its main suspension cables. It was only because a greater quantity of high-quality wire was added at the time of construction than was originally planned, and because the cables were properly protected against corrosion, that they have lasted as long as they have. The lifetime of the Brooklyn Bridge has been extended further by restricting its use to automobiles.
After over a half-century of use, parts of the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges became badly corroded, a condition created by some design decisions that proved to be unwise, and hastened by maintenance being deferred during the 1970s because of poor fiscal conditions in New York City at the time. It was only the extensive rehabilitation of the bridges performed after the fiscal crisis was over that obviated the need for replacement bridges.
Ancient bridges were designed and built using rules learned by trial and error, which incorporated a great deal of conservatism. Early 20th-century suspension bridges such as the Manhattan were designed with the aid of mathematical theories that gave engineers increased confidence that they were calculating stress distributions more accurately than previously possible. This advance, coupled later with computer modeling, resulted in lighter structures with lower factors of safety, not only for suspension bridges but also for truss bridges such as the Tappan Zee. The lower cost of lighter-weight bridges is understandably attractive to government agencies paying for them, but these structures necessarily come with a limited lifetime, determined at the outset on the basis of how many cars and trucks, and of what weight, are projected to be using a bridge year after year. The structural deterioration of lightweight bridges was hastened when political rather than technical considerations prevailed in allowing heavier and heavier truck traffic on the roads that the bridges carried.

Brett Atkinson explores the craft beer pubs of Perth and Fremantle.
Hops-laden, assertive and downright tasty craft beers are surging in popularity in New Zealand, but two decades before that, Kiwi beer drinkers were exposed to well-named beers and breweries from Western Australia. Now a new generation of WA brewers are keeping the hoppy dream alive.
Here are six essential stops for the travelling beer buff:
* Sail and Anchor
64 South Terrace, Fremantle
This corner pub in Fremantle was actually the first incarnation of Matilda Bay Brewing in 1984, and while the brewery's original brands are now owned by multinational SABMiller, the Sail and Anchor's still one of Australia's finest beer destinations. With 43 taps, there is plenty of scope for the pub's own brews and a dazzling array of international guest beers.
* The Monk Brewery and Kitchen
33 South Terrace, Fremantle
Across the road, The Monk's a relative newcomer, but is already renowned for seasonal brews linked to beer festivals.
It's a top spot for Oktoberfest or grab an outdoor table and a pint of The Chief, an India pale ale.
* Little Creatures
40 Mews Rd, Fremantle
Back in 2000, Little Creatures kicked off Antipodean interest in hoppy American pale ales. Little Creatures is now owned by Lion, but the harbourfront brewhouse is still one of Freo's hippest spots. White Rabbit White and Dark Ale are on tap, and on Firkin Thursdays, special one-off beers are tapped.
* Feral Brewing Company
152 Haddrill Rd, Baskerville, Swan Valley
Feral is an essential destination in the Swan Valley. Up to 16 beers are on tap. Cool down with Watermelon Warhead, a sour German wheat beer, or Raging Flem, a massive 8.5 per cent alcohol Belgian-style IPA.
* Mash Brewing
10250 West Swan Rd, Henley Brook, Swan Valley
Like Feral, Mash Brewing also features a sleek and modern bistro. Weekends are busy, so try and visit mid-week for beers including Freo Doctor Pale Lager, West Coast Wheat Beer and experimental beers, such as Tussle in Brussels, a pale ale with a Belgian accent.
* The Old Brewery
173 Mounts Bay Rd, Perth,
From 1879, refreshing Swan and Emu beers were brewed here, but now this restored building on the riverfront houses a microbrewery and steak restaurant, serving beers like Eliza's Saison, a Belgian farmhouse ale.

Doug Herzog, '81
President of Viacom Entertainment Group
Q. What are you currently working on?
I am running three cable networks: TV Land, Spike TV, and Comedy Central. On TV Land, we are about to launch a new comedy entitled Retired at 35, a show we are very excited about. And we are working on evolving the brand of Spike TV, which will be challenging and engaging. Finally, we are introducing our first comedy awards show on Comedy Central.
Q. Was there one person at Emerson who shifted the course of your career?
Eddie Madison '79 (media production executive) who I met my freshman year. He got me involved in campus television at Emerson and was a great friend and an early mentor. He ultimately hired me and gave me my first job. He was a producer of a new show on CNN, which had just launched. He hired me to be an associate producer of a live talk show that aired every night at 10:00 pm. This was in the nascent days of cable and I was 20 years old.
Q. Are you professionally connected to other Emersonians? Could you share an example or two?
I run into so many of the friends I went to school with who are working in the cable, television, and film business today. In my companies, we also have a constant influx of Emerson students as interns, whom I enjoy meeting as well. So I have my established Emerson network and then this new network of younger Emersonians who are entering the ranks every year. It is great.
Q. What's the single most important piece of advice you'd like to give to prospective or current Emerson students about how to make the best use of what Emerson offers?
If you are already at Emerson College, then you're already on your way. If the Emerson culture feels right to you, and you are successful as a student, use those instincts, that creativity, and those time management skills to help you get to where you want to be. That's why you went to Emerson in the first place. You have a leg up. Emerson prepares you better than any other college for careers in communication and the arts. There is a tremendous Emerson network out there, with a proud history of mentoring newcomers and pointing fellow alumni in the right direction.

Inspector General's Message to Congress
The mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to promote the efficient and effective use of taxpayer dollars in support of American education. This Office takes justifiable pride in a record of accomplishment written in billions of taxpayer dollars recommended for recovery or better use since the inception of our Office in May 1980, and in programmatic and administrative improvements that have helped Education Department (ED) programs work better and at less cost.
The last several months have brought new challenges to the government as a whole, and to the Department of Education and the Office of Inspector General in particular. During this semiannual reporting period, we have made major changes in both work processes and organizational structure. These actions have been necessary accommodations to the profound changes in management philosophy and practice that have commanded the attention of managers throughout government, notably that of Offices of Inspector General; and to fiscal constraints and uncertainties that have forced us to reevaluate the ways in which we can best direct limited resources.
The Changing Nature of Our Work
We have responded to the challenges presented by changes in management theory and practice by experimenting with new approaches to our work that reflect a renewed commitment to the best in teamwork and customer service. Examples of our efforts this period follow.
Cooperative initiatives with other ED offices
The OIG is currently working on a series of audits that are intended to assist Department managers and Congress in the upcoming reauthorization of the Rehabilitation Act. These audits were developed collaboratively with program officials during a comprehensive program survey.
In conducting the survey, we interviewed representatives of consumer advocacy groups, officials of State agencies and clients, and Congressional staff. OIG staff believe that their ability to work closely with program officials and other interested parties has enabled them to gain valuable insights that will assist them in developing the most useful information and recommendations for the reauthorization.
During the implementation of direct lending, the Department has sought to protect the interest of students and taxpayers as the volume of Federal Family Education Loan program (FFEL) loans diminishes, and the role of guaranty agencies changes. OIG staff have worked and continue to work on teams with Departmental personnel to assess the condition of the guaranty agencies and to assure the protection of approximately $1.7 billion of Federal reserve funds the agencies hold.
This period a new, streamlined approach, developed in cooperation with the Depart- ment, was implemented for reviewing and processing non-Federal audit reports. Effective July 1, 1995, most non-Federal audit reports are being sent directly to the Department (or its designate) by grantees. This new approach results in program officials receiving the reports sooner, thus enabling more timely action on the reports.
The OIG's investigative staff has also participated in cooperative efforts with other ED offices to help improve the quality of Department programs and operations. This period, OIG investigators met with colleagues from the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to discuss ways of improving OCR's investigative process to assure the quality of OCR reviews and the comprehensiveness of OCR investigations. We will continue to be available for advice and assistance as this initiative progresses and expect that this cooperative endeavor will be of value to OIG as well as to OCR.
Cooperative audit resolution
With the passage of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, the Improving America's Schools Act, and the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, the Department will be overseeing programs that provide for greater flexibility and autonomy than in the past. Unresolved audit findings based on noncompliance with more restrictive legislation may hamper the ability of grantees to take full advantage of this increased flexibility.
Because building effective partnerships is critical to effective audit resolution and fun damental to improving education for the nation's students, we are working closely with the Department and States to consider alternative approaches to resolving audits in a more efficient and effective manner and rethinking how audit oversight can work better to help solve recurring problems. These efforts have resulted in the Cooperative Audit Resolution and Oversight Initiative.
Under this initiative, the Department, with significant participation by State and local education agencies, is currently redesigning its audit, monitoring and technical assistance processes. The OIG, in conjunction with other Department offices and State and local officials, plans to complete a major revision of the "Compliance Supplement for Education Programs" (used by non-Federal auditors when conducting comprehensive financial and compliance audits, known as single audits), and to conduct training sessions for program officials and non-Federal auditors, by spring 1996. The OIG, together with the Department, has discussed with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the possibility of expanding the initiative's concepts to other Federal agencies whose customers are State and local agencies.
Other cooperative efforts with the audit and education communities
Because single audits, conducted under the Single Audit Act and OMB circulars, are an important part of the Department's monitoring system, the OIG has worked collaboratively with the Office of Management and Budget and the General Accounting Office (GAO) in revising OMB guidance and Single Audit Act legislation, respectively. Teams of OIG and Departmental personnel, in collaboration with the audit community, continue to work on audit guidance for student financial aid programs. This period, the program-specific audit guide, "Compliance Audits (Attestation Engagements) of Federal Student Financial Assistance Programs at Participating Institutions," was issued.
Refocusing investigative resources
To obtain the greatest advantage from our limited investigative resources, the OIG has focused its investigative efforts increasingly on complex, high-impact criminal and civil cases. These efforts have resulted in major recoveries, asset forfeitures, settlements and fines against institutions schools, lenders, servicers whose owners and officials are taking taxpayer dollars meant to help students become productive citizens, and using those dollars to unjustly enrich themselves, at the expense of those who are least equipped to deal with the financial and personal costs.
Evolution of a New Organizational Structure
In seeking ways to most effectively implement these new approaches, OIG managers and staff developed a reorganization plan that makes optimum use of personnel and budgetary resources. The plan established an organizational structure that completely redefines reporting relationships. Once an organization with numerous levels of supervisory review and more than 20 regional and headquarters offices (a structure common to many Federal agencies), the OIG is moving purposefully toward a "flattened" management structure of four multi-State areas in which staff will operate in teams that will report to an area management team. In addition to reducing administrative layers, this organizational design uses teams in order to fully utilize the diverse skills and strengths of OIG staff members.
Examples of OIG Effectiveness
We have already begun to see the fruits of these dynamic changes in both the nature of our work and our organizational structure, as described in the preceding pages. Examples are set forth below.
Investigative results
In the last year, three investigations involving a truck-driver training school in Texas, a Boston trade school official, and the owner of a business college in Puerto Rico resulted in a total of more than $2.4 million dollars in criminal and civil seizures. Another case, involving a training corporation in Florida, resulted this period in summary judgments totaling $13 million.
In addition to sentencings, restitutions and forfeitures, schools whose owners have been convicted of defrauding the student aid programs have in many cases closed to the benefit of taxpayers, students, and the financial integrity of the programs.
Audit results
In audit, our focus on providing timely, critical advice to address high-risk, highpriority areas yielded recommendations for improved financial systems, ideas for revamped gatekeeping (the process through which the Department determines the suitability of schools to participate in the student aid programs), and safeguards to minimize potential monetary losses.
This period we successfully completed the transition of responsibility for auditing the FFEL program's financial statements from the GAO to the OIG by completing the fiscal year 1994 audit. (The two prior audits had been performed jointly with GAO or by.GAO with OIG assistance.) Our current audit reported that continued improvements are necessary to ensure that the financial statements and other management reports are reliable.
The gatekeeping process is crucial to the Department's student aid program adminis- tration because schools that make it through the screening process then have annual access, collectively, to billions of dollars in Federal grants and loans. If problem schools can be prevented from gaining access to the programs and funds, significant fraud and abuse can be avoided.
In the gatekeeping area, we recommended a risk-based approach to school recertification to help the Department meet an impending statutory deadline for recertifying all 8,200 institutions that have access to Federal grants and loans. Because the activities of accrediting agencies are a key gatekeeping component, our review of selected agencies' performance-based systems recommended improved Departmental oversight to assure that the required standard setting and measurement spur improvements in educational quality.
Our observations on the design of the PLUS Loan program led to the conclusions that legislative changes in 1992 extending repayment periods and removing fixed dollar limits will lead to higher loan losses and be very costly to the Department and taxpayers. We found that some parents borrowed from $40,000 to $100,000 during 1994 and that, with more than one child in college, parents could easily accumulate a debt of more than $200,000. Our recommendations focused on adding safeguards without unduly restricting student access.
In the area of elementary and secondary education, our recommendations to the Department for modifying the Impact Aid application process were designed to reduce the thousands of hours spent on child counts by parents, school district personnel, and ED employees.
Challenges to OIG Effectiveness
These successes are threatened by budgetary reductions on the one hand and increased responsibilities on the other. This period, confronted with the grim possibility of expected Congressional action to fund the Department at less than 1995 levels, we learned that OIG will have to absorb the full cost of law enforcement availability pay in FY 1996, as well as the government-wide two-percent-plus pay raise and the Department-wide audit requirement of the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, for which we have not received additional funding. These unfunded mandates imperil the efficacy, indeed the viability, of OIG efforts to prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse across a broad spectrum of ED programs and operations.
Asset forfeiture: an untapped source
Program fraud is about financial gain, and perpetrators of fraud against the Federal student aid programs invariably use the funds illegally obtained through their schemes to purchase real estate, cars, boats, jewelry, and other personal assets. Recognizing the potential to recoup these ill-gotten gains, we have begun using asset forfeiture laws in the investigation and prosecution of our cases, with excellent results, as the examples summarized on the previous page (and described in greater detail in the "Significant Prosecutive Actions" section of this and our previous Semiannual Report) demonstrate.
While we have had considerable success in using asset forfeiture laws to effect the return of fraudulently obtained assets to the government, the OIG, in contrast to a number of Federal, State and local investigative agencies, cannot share in the proceeds from such forfeited assets.
Under current law, the Departments of Justice and the Treasury and the U.S. Postal Service have asset forfeiture authority under which they forfeit, manage and dispose of assets, with the proceeds of these dispositions going into the agencies' respective asset forfeiture funds. Current law also authorizes these agencies to give a share of the forfeited proceeds to other Federal law enforcement agencies that have the authority to receive them, as well as to State and local investigative agencies that participated in the particular case that resulted in the forfeiture. The share that each investigative agency receives is based on the amount of investigative effort expended by the agency on the case, and is referred to as the agency's "equitable share."
Because we do not have the authority under current law to receive an equitable share of forfeited proceeds, the OIG is in a less advantageous position than a similarly situated State agency, which could and usually does receive an equitable share. Particularly in these difficult and uncertain times, having the authority to receive an equitable share would allow the OIG to continue to work these cases effectively, and help take the profit out of the crimes committed against ED programs.
Challenges Facing the Department of EducationIn a paper prepared this period for the Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations of the House Committee on Governmental Reform and Oversight, the OIG identified what we found, based on our extensive experience, to be the three most significant problems facing the Department. These are: 1) the absence of performance standards for ED programs and operations; 2) weaknesses in the design and operation of the Department's student financial assistance programs; and 3) weaknesses in Departmental financial management systems.
The Department has initiated efforts through its strategic planning process to address the lack of program performance standards, but the absence of clear performance expectations in some program statutes makes this process difficult at best. Although the Department has taken corrective action in many other areas, our suggestions, for various reasons, have not always led to adoption of the needed corrective measures. The OIG has suggested legislative, programmatic and administrative changes to address these problems.
We will continue to press for needed changes in laws and regulations and, where appropriate, in the performance of program participants, to enhance the effectiveness of Department programs and to protect taxpayer dollars and the students who depend on the programs they fund from fraud, waste and abuse. To achieve these goals, we will be relying upon the cooperation, assistance and good faith of our legislative and executive colleagues. The OIG looks forward to working with you in the coming months, as we seek to achieve resolution of these and other issues of significant concern to the nation's students and taxpayers.
John P. Higgins, Jr.
Acting Inspector General

The Maori Council has filed an appeal against this week's High Court dismissal of its legal bid to delay the sale of Mighty River Power shares.
Maori Council lawyer Felix Geiringer last night confirmed on Twitter that court papers had been filed yesterday.
Mr Geiringer indicated that the council had filed papers with the Court of Appeal but the Crown had asked for the case to go directly to the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case it would go to the Court of Appeal on January 31, he said.
The Government intends selling up to 49 per cent of Mighty River some time between March and June in the opening move of its partial asset sales or "mixed ownership model" programme which it hopes will raise as much as $7 billion.
Treasury Deputy Secretary John Crawford has said all appeals challenging the sale would have to be completed by February 18 in order to meet the Government's preferred timetable or by March 11 to have any chance of selling Mighty River shares before the end of June. Any delay would create a big hole in the Government's expected revenues and result in increased debt.
In a judgement released early this week the High Court's Justice Ronald Young comprehensively dismissed arguments from the Maori Council and the Waikato River and Dams Claims Trust that the sale would affect the Crown's ability to provide redress for Maori claims to a proprietary interest in fresh water and geothermal resources.
