Assessment and Tax Rolls
Series documents the assessment of real and personal property, the determination of tax liability, and the collection of county taxes.

I went thru three Customer Managers for my region. The first two FORD Customer Manager listen to my concern but to me they did not hear me. They were there to earn their paycheck
( Sorry I have to say it ), but the third Ford Customer Service manager was totally different. I have been in Logistics and Customer service for over 45 years ( 23yrs in the NAVY-retired) and still currently working on the same field working for the government. You can tell
he is willing to help, understand your concern and will do all he can to satify the customer. I know he is also there for a pay check but not only that..You can tell from speaking to him That he's there to provide customer service to FORD owners. (
Thank You so much " DENNIS " for all your help, You have provided me with an outstanding " EPITOME of Excellence " In customer service
). There should be more of him, Ford should make him as a team leader. .
I apologized if I just now logged in to this site and give you guys an update about my Concerns on my 2012 Ford Focus.
..I can not believe it..DAY and night difference.
I was having fun again driving my Focus since the fix
. DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK 110 MILES A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK. I can not believe it.
No more rattling, vibration, smooth shifting, no more BRRRR!! between up shift and down shift... The second FORD dealer fixed my car. Today is the third day and so far so good no problem at all.
The first dealer that I took my car is like the only dealership in that small town.
The second dealer where I had a second opinion is more like in a big city and they do volume sales and rank number -1 with the word of mouth and they know what they are doing and has more than one mechanic..HA! HA! LOL!!!
They end up replacing my oil seal,clutch assembly,retainer bearing,bearing.
So far so good. Like Mr. Cassandra said. You also have to be pro-active..
I am so glad that I took "Dennis" offer for a second opinion.
I am very gratefull to all the Ford Customer Rep that helps every one on the website. ( You guy's Rock!!!!
Thank You for all your assistance
( MS. Crystal, Cory, Devvy) and all the regional FORD customer Service manager that made my 2012 FORD Focus whole again...
Thank You . HAPPY Holidays to all.
Thank you for your sympathy. I don't want rain on anybody's parade during this holidays. Just don't understand why I should be mad at them when we all should be happy during this holidays.
I guess when Dealer don't want to repair it for Second time they will say you IT'S NORMAL, I have same thing like first time, why it wasn't Normal then???:-))
Not like other strugglers on this forum I am even willing to split the cost for repairs. Cause Ford uses private contractors as trans guys. Maybe it was just my case.
Anyway YOUR Car IS NOT NORMAL, since you don't have rattling and shudder.:-)) From my dealers words.
My is shudders, grinds, rattling sound, wrong shift schedule IS NoRMAL.
Customer service did contact me, but seems we can't all agree to repair NEW NORMAL. I appreciate they putting effort to help me, but maybe they also have to help dealership too.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably.

UNDATED — Michael Phelps has rejoined the U.S. drug testing program, the strongest signal yet that he's planning a comeback for the Rio Olympics.
Phelps told The Associated Press that "nothing is set in stone" though clearly he has enjoyed getting back into shape — he's down about 15 pounds — and working out with his former team at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club.
"If I decide to keep going and swim again, then I'll compete," Phelps said.

Re: World Wrestling Entertainment - Reviving A Legacy
JAM's Review
First of all, I'd like to say that I liked this time period for Orton especially because the breakup of Legacy could've been done much better so I hope to see that happen. Not only was 2009 a good year for Orton, but I believe it was the last good year that WWE had, then it turned PG, in my eyes, that is. Well anyway, onto the review.
The opening segment started a little slow for me to be honest. I don't buy this fear thing that Orton is explaining to us which is the reason he lost to HHH at Wrestlemania. I think it would've been better to see a more pissed off Orton here. He sounded a bit face in this promo by the way. When Vince and HHH came out though, I thought that it would pick up and it did, but not by a whole lot. I think you should've had Vince announce the match and stipulation instead of HHH here, Vince sounded a bit inferior. I just think the opening didn't flow well, but it definitely wasn't bad. As for the match, it seemed a bit quick and the ending was not really the best. The segment after that made Orton seem whiny though. However, I do like that you're pushing Kofi though. I gotta say that you did nail the mannerisms of Orton here, so that shows you pay attention to detail, good job on that.
Not much to say about the divas but this could be interesting now that you have Santino involved. But I don't think a romantic storyline would be the one to go for here, not really sure but I hope you planned well for the Divas. Did like the appearances of Austin and Ron Simmons there, classic!
I liked this promo from Jericho referencing Flair to be the one who doesn't let go. Kind of random to have Hacksaw come down though but it wasn't bad. Jericho's a pretty good talker and I think you nailed him with all the words you had him said. Definitely promo of the night here. Hoping that you don't continue the legends angle with Jericho though. Have him put over someone, a young talent.
Definitely hoping for a Swagger push here, kid is good in the ring. Did like Swagger emphasizing his accolades allowing Lillian to share it with the world here. But ha, Swagger saying another wrestler has no personality? Really? Lol. This promo was kind of cheesy, didn't really flow for me. The promos so far have been sub-par in my opinion. But the commentary has been great. If only Cole would have stayed this way, he's actually pretty good in calling matches.
Seems like a little bit too much praise here from Cole? Either I'm thinking too hard about this or maybe Cole could leave the announce team and manage Miz? But anyway, that video package was....meh. But hey, it's the Dirt Sheet. I loved it when these two would host the show, I think that they have good chemistry together. But here's hoping that you have plans for both of them in the future. So maybe a big push for Miz here with Jericho lookin' to be in cahoots with him, should be interesting.
The draft, always a good show. Can't wait for that one.
Not much to say on Ziggler as I think this was still the year he was getting introduced right? So that's fine. But I expected a longer promo from Punk maybe teasing when he'll cash-in. Kane's a good worker but I'm tired of seeing Punk/Kane since it's been done as of late, but we'll see if you got some things planned out for this one.
Ha, brilliant! I love William Regal so I'm excited that you're gonna give him a chance at the IC Title. Regal is well versed in the ring and Rey is no slouch either, this sure will be a great feud. Definitely lookin' forward to this one, love it!
Well the ending was pretty good. I think that this was the Randy Orton that should've been present the whole time instead of just at the end of the show. Next week, HHH will be sure to exact some revenge so I can't wait for that. I'm pretty glad that you continued this feud as I think it shouldn't have ended at Wrestlemania. Maybe give it atleast one or two more PPVs before you end it.
Overall, it was an alright show man. There were some promos that just didn't flow well for me and some things seemed to be rushed. But the first shows are always the hardest ones to get out of the way, so you'll probably be better the next time around. I did like you pushin' some new guys like Kofi, Regal, and Miz. Can't wait for that one. Will be reading the next show.

Any Good From Evil?
James Dawes, professor of English and director of the Program in Human Rights and Humanitarianism at Macalester College in St. Paul, talks about what he learned about evil in a series of interviews with men convicted of war crimes during the Sino-Japanese War and asks whether there's anything of value to find in such studies or only sensationalism.
Excerpt: Evil Men by James Dawes (Harvard University Press, 2013)
Atrocity both requires and resists representation. The argument that we must bear witness to atrocity, that we must tell the stories, is the core of the catechism of the human rights movement. We gather testimony, we investigate and detail war crimes, because we are morally bound to do so. Our obligation is acutely urgent in cases where legal prosecution is a realistic possibility, but it is also powerful long after the call for trials has faded into history--especially when there is a robust practice of denial and historical revision, as there is in Japan. We are creating a collective moral archive of our time for future generations. We are making public history intelligible to survivors who have seen their deepest personal truths denied daily. And sometimes, as the soldiers I spoke to believed, we are using the safe-to-imagine past as a way of making visible what we are doing in the present.
In recent decades, Japanese government officials, scholars, and former military officers of all ranks have denied and downplayed the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan. In 1994, Minister of Justice Shigeto Nagano described the 1937 Nanking Massacre--in which an estimated 300,000 civilians were murdered--as a "fabrication." In the carefully worded apology that followed, he continually referred to the "Nanking Incident." In 2007, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe denied that Korean women were coerced into becoming military sex slaves. In 2001, the Ministry of Education approved for use a revisionist school history textbook that glossed over war crimes, including the Nanking Massacre, the widespread use of sex slaves, and experimentation with germ warfare on Chinese civilians. In 2005, a book by a Japanese scholar was translated into English (and personally sent to me by the publisher) that lambasted the late author Iris Chang for perpetuating "the myth of a massacre's having been perpetrated in Nanking." The list could go on. If Elie Wiesel is right in saying that to forget is to kill twice, then the Second Sino- Japanese War never ended. It just shifted to the landscape of memory.
So all of us--the photographer, the interpreter, and I--began this project with the same assumption: bearing witness to atrocity, in this case and in general, is a good unto itself. Whether it's telling the story of the crime as it's happening or collecting and sharing the testimony years later as we were doing, the struggle for human rights and the battle of memory requires a single clear moral position: either speak out or be silent, either resist or be complicit.
I am not so sure anymore.

" Released: 12 Nov 2012 / Label: Rise Above "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Being a right old fart and quite firmly living in the past, I hadn't heard of Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats until I saw them supporting Black Sabbath on Tour late last year.
Older and unwiser, I usually don't pay much attention to support bands at this time of life, but there was something striking and exceptional about this group that kept me out of the bar before the headliners came on.
They were a mass of hair and velour and flares, with a sound that was retrospective - but refreshing at the same time. There were no backdrops or pyros, just the minimum of lights and only identifiable by their logo on the bass drum - but they had a dark, heavy and mournful sound. They were a perfect opening for Sabbath, so as soon as I got home I was onto the computerised internet machine to find out more.
I'd had to borrow a friend's 16 year old to accompany me to the show as Baron Spanielmeister didn't attend because he has tinnitus (what a rock n roll couple we are). However on hearing my report back he liked the sound of these guys. YouTube was the first port of call, so himself and I sat round the laptop with a couple of bottles of wine and got better acquainted with the men from Uncle.
The band are a four piece from Cambridge (England) with a sound and sentiment of when the sixties began to go sour and when peace and love turned Helter Skelter. The themes of the songs included great metal staples: occultism, death, black magic etc. and while the album "Mind Control" is their latest release, tracks from the album "Blood Lust" seemed more prominent, so that was the one I ordered first.
It was released in 2011 and is the second of three album releases by the band. My CD copy was £7.18 from Play.com at the time, but I have noticed that the prices have gone up since. You can download it from Amazon for £7.11, but being old school I still like to have my music in my hand. I was even tempted to go really retro and buy it on vinyl but at £23.97 it was a bit too steep just for me to make a statement.
So pop-pickers, lets countdown the tracks and see what evil Uncle Acid has to offer.
Track 1 - I'll Cut You Down
With a montage of TV voice clips (I'm yet to work out what they all are and their significance) at the beginning, this is great opening track. Beginning with guitar, then developing bass and drums this song grows into a blasting solid hard rock track. Good start.
Track 2 - Death's Door
Slower and steadier, with a more repetitive sound and beat, there isn't as much going on in this track musically, but it does make you concentrate on the vocals more - Uncle Acid's understated voice make me think of a gloomy John Lennon and I love the way that by juxtaposing it with the rough under produced music a certain "lost" feeling is added.
Track 3 - Over and Over Again
Upbeat sounds this time, lively track, with the title line repeated - erm - over and over again. Really catchy sing-along in the car - except that the lyrics are the story of a witch being captured and burned, then casting a spell on her tormenters and drowning them all in a lake of blood!
Track 4 - Curse in the Trees
This track begins with a discordant, slow intro, the sound reminiscent of late Beatles' psychedelic - the breaks into a heavy rock sound typical of early Black Sabbath. The obvious influences work really well together to make an outstanding, dramatic track.
Track 5 - I'm Here to Kill You
This one is a more funky, groovy sound with a strong rhythmic bass throughout. It's actually a great one to dance about to while you're making the dinner if you're that way inclined - and of course sing along to the jolly line "I'm here to kill you and to take you away"!
Track 6 - 13 Candles
This is my favourite track, great rock riffs and guitar lead break in the middle. It was the first track that came up on YouTube when I started to research the band. It's since been taken off - not sure why - I suppose some copyright issue regarding the video that had slipped through the net until their profile grew and it got more views.
The lyrics read like a Roger Corman movie script - black magicians, sorceress of death, rituals of sin, the gang's all there - however I can't resist the temptation to sing the Two Ronnie's "Fork Handles" line throughout the chorus.
Not very gloomy or doomy of me, I know. Sorry Uncle.
Track 7 - Ritual Knife
Slow pace, hypnotic repetition, a spiralling sound here - quite different to the much of the rest of the album, but with the same dark themes. I do prefer the more traditional hard rock tracks, but this is still good as a bit of variation in the album.
Track 8 - Withered Hand of Evil
A great final track this, dramatic and growing to a climax as unsophisticated but expressive keyboards are eventually introduced giving it a great gloomy psychedelic sound.
Bonus Track - Down to the Fire
But wait - on my copy there's more. This is a cracking acoustic track with birdsong and burning wood sound effects and the vocal style of Uncle Acid is perfect for this folky sound. This is fantastic - while I love all the hard rock stuff I could listen to a whole album just of this stuff.
I'm a little disappointed in myself - but not at all surprised - that they have slipped through my radar, and that I'm only beginning to enjoy a new band because they happened to be supporting the oldies. I'm currently listening to album three "Mind Control" but have been unable as yet to find a copy of "Volume 1". I'd imagine it's extremely rare, but as the band's popularity and profile grows there might be the chance of a re-release.
Here's a great quote I found on the website "No Clean Singing" which I think sums up beautifully my opinions on Uncle Acid:
"Listeners of a certain advanced age, such as yours truly, will think they've entered a time warp and surfaced in the era when Led Zeppelin, Cream, and Neil Young were changing the face of rock. But where those bands were singing about climbing stairways to heaven, strange brew, and Southern men, Uncle Acid steep themselves in witchery, murder, and the ritual of sin."
My friend's 16 year old seems pretty impressed and I have had reports of some "dreadful deathly noise" coming from his room, for which I am apparently to blame, so I'm feeling quite encouraged. While I've been slow on the uptake hopefully it's not just the seniors listening in, but that there is a new generation morbid teenage doom merchants out there who as I type are drawing their curtains, painting their bedrooms black, and cranking up "Blood Lust".
Thanks for reading.
2012 might not have been the best of years when it came to new releases but there were a couple of gems and I'm sure more will come to my attention in 2013. Blood Lust is the band's first CD release, their first album Volume 1, released two years earlier and was only sold in limited vinyl form.
This cult band from Cambridge have a pretty strong following in the USA, perhaps more so than in the UK. Their horror-themed, doom or stoner metal seems to have caught on there. Initially noticing it a list of similar items to 'The Axeman Cometh' by Wicked Lady, a favourite of mine, I was lured in by the somewhat kitsch purple and black album cover.
Like a lot of bands in this genre, they tend to be given the unwarranted tag of 'Black Sabbath rip-off'. There are similarities but they are by no means an imitation. The relatively high vocals are usually covered with various kind of distortions and to some extent it reminds me of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, in fact the vocals sound like John Lennon and Noddy Holder drunk at a party. It takes a couple of listens to a song to really be able to decipher the lyrics.
"I'll Cut You Down" which comes with a novelty opening from a horror film is by far the catchiest of the tracks on the album, there are more vocals than in most tracks. On the contrary, clocking in at over 7 minutes long, "Death's Door", largely instrumental, is full of dark, heavy riffs as well as some classic guitar solos that will have you not wanting to leave the car, even though you've already parked.
"Over and Over Again" is a little repetitive, admittedly the main riffs are catchy but it's lacking something to put it into top gear. "13 Candles" is in a similar vein but has a bit more about it. The most hypnotic track is surely "Ritual Knife", the singing may be a little shrill for some but it seems to contrast the sludgy bass lines quite well.
The band's best song so far is a cover version of The Kinks - Wicked Annabella but it's neither on this album or its predecessor. It's a hard album to come about and is not always available, £16 may seem a bit steep but it's still worth buying.

Pulitzer Winner Likens Rush Limbaugh to Plantation Owner
One of the most damaging accusations you can level at opponent is call that individual a racist in one form or another. And that's the tactic MSNBC and others left-wing opponents of Rush Limbaugh are taking to thwart his bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams.
During a segment on MSNBC on Oct. 13, former Pulitzer Prize winner Karen Hunter appeared to voice her opposition to the Limbaugh's NFL bid. She made one of the most outrageous - likening Limbaugh's ownership of an NFL team to being a plantation owner, a metaphor that invokes the image of antebellum South during the 19th Century, when slavery was rampant.
"I can just see the visions of plantation grandeur dancing in his head as we speak," Hunter said. "Yeah, it doesn't make you a racist to want to own a team. But, it does kind of with all his history question his power position over these players who make millions of dollars and his ability to be able to move them around, deny them contracts and do whatever he wants willy-nilly. It's the ultimate power position to be an owner of an NFL team."
Hunter is the author of notable works of literature - "Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game," "Don't Blame It on Rio: The Real Deal Behind Why Men Go to Brazil for Sex"and "On the Down Low: A Journey Into the Lives of "Straight" Black Men Who Sleep With Men," which to MSNBC makes her uniquely qualified to comment on Limbaugh having an ownership stake in the NFL.
The journalism teacher also used to a highly questionable quote to further her charge against Limbaugh that he's a racist. According to a post on the Smash Mouth Politics blog (cited by Limbaugh on his Oct. 12 radio program and his Web site) there's evidence a quote frequently cited, which Limbaugh appears to show remorse for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassin, James Earl Ray, is completely fabricated.
In a related story, Media Research Center, the parent organization for CMI, challenged both MSNBC and CNN about another supposed Limbaugh quote. MRC President Brent Bozell today demanded that CNN and MSNBC prove that radio Limbaugh uttered a racist quote they have attributed to him as fact after Limbaugh publicly denied having ever said.
Hunter claimed the quote she used were available on the Internet. "The words you even put up - two of the statements that he said about the NFL looking like the Crips and the Bloods," Hunter said. "He even said that Dr. Martin Luther King, his killer, James Earl Ray should have a medal given to him, a medal of honor. He says, 'We miss you, James.' You can go online as to the top 10 Rush Limbaugh racist comments."
As Hunter says, "You can go online" and find them, which is in itself a remarkable admission for a Pulitzer-winning journalist to use as a source when making such a bold charge. But, based on this evidence that Hunter has apparently found online, she said the NFL should be done with Limbaugh. According to her, Limbaugh's ownership stake, which she maintains is the "ultimate power position" is only a minority stake and therefore, he's easily replaced.
"I'm surprised they haven't put this issue to bed already," Hunter continued. "They could very simply say Rush Limbaugh is off the table and keep it moving. They don't need him to own this team. He's a minority owner. And they could replace him tomorrow and not have any blip in the screen at all. It could continue to go. Why do they not say anything? That's the question. With their history and all the controversy they have with their players, they don't need this."

Hawley Meadows (SANG) is an important river floodplain site with a wet grassland habitat. It is one of the few sites in the Valley that shows what the landscape may have been like over 100 years ago. It serves as a natural flood defence with the fields often holding water after heavy rainfall so helping prevent the A331 and surrounding urban areas from flooding.
This traditional floodplain grazing meadow with areas of wet grassland and grazing marsh, has been the focus of extensive landscape and habitat improvement work. During the construction of the A331 much of the existing grassland flora was lost. Local conservation volunteers have worked to restore the grassland and the site is now flourishing.
The main car park is located off the northbound carriageway of the A331 between the M3 and the A30 opposite Watchmoor Business Park. It has recently been resurfaced and made to be a much more welcoming site.
The Blackwater Valley Path runs through the site. It can be accessed by parking in the car park off the A331 and crossing the river via the bridge. Alternatively follow the path from Frimley Business Park in the south or Blackwater Park in the north.
The River Blackwater flows through the site and the reasonable stocks of fish in the river here provide good sport. Cove Brook also joins the River Blackwater at Hawley Meadows.
The site is owned by Hampshire County Council and leased to Hartley Wintney Angling Society; members only, no day tickets available.

Hey - I love that you have a playlist. How cool are you?

Well, the vote is 2 to 0, so I guess I won't put the pictures up. They are neat, though. They look like a cave. The walls are nice and clean; nothing yucky on them.
While the nurse was prepping me for the exam, she asked several questions about meds that I'm taking. Except for the Wayfarin I said, "No", "No", "No"... She then asked why I was in such good health, and I said "I'm a runner."

Funnyrunner, I lived in Silver Spring for a year and College Park for another year. I understand why you used the indoor track! My hot summers are like being in an oven, the heat feels like its burning. Your summers are like a heat sink that pulls all your energy from your body.

Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics, and Painting February 14, 2013 – May 12, 2013 ATLANTA, Aug. 8, 2012 ― The High Museum of Art in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Ontario is organizing a major exhibition of work by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, the two central figures of Mexican Modernism. The exhibition "Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics, and Painting" will feature some of the best examples of Kahlo and Rivera's work with approximately 140 works primarily drawn from the collection of Mexico's Museo Dolores Olmedo, the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of Mexican Art, and the Galería Arvil. The exhibition will pair together works by Frida and Diego chronologically and according to themes, including maternity, Mexican identity, and portraiture. The High Museum of Art will be the only U.S. venue for this exhibition. Opening in Atlanta on Feb. 14, 2013, the exhibition will remain on view through May 12, 2013. The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue. "Frida & Diego" is particularly significant because it marks the first time important works by these two influential Mexican artists will be shown in the Southeast," said Michael E. Shapiro, Nancy and Holcombe T. Green Director of the High Museum of Art. "By working with Art Gallery of Ontario, the High Museum of Art continues its commitment to collaborative partnerships that bring great works of art from around the world to Atlanta." "Frida & Diego" positions the artists' work in the political and artistic contexts of their time. Few artists have captured the public's imagination with the force of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) and her husband, the Mexican painter and muralist Diego Rivera (1886 – 1957). The myths that surrounded them in their lifetime arose not only from their significant body of work, but also from their active participation in the historical happenings of their time. Their work speaks of a fierce loyalty to and pride in Mexico, the ideals of the 1910 Mexican revolution and their commitment to the conditions of the common man. "Most scholarship about Frida and Diego focuses on their tumultuous relationship as a couple rather than their shared ideas and ideals," said Elliott King, guest curator of the exhibition. "'Frida & Diego' instead focuses on how the artists influenced each other while learning from and sharing in each other's successes and failures. It considers both artists in a shared cultural and political context." Key works by Kahlo in the exhibition include:
Key works by Rivera in the exhibition include:
The Museo Dolores Olmedo houses the world's largest collection of works by Kahlo. The museum's collection also features numerous works by Rivera that helped establish the Mexican School of Painting, as well as his portraits, both of which are represented in "Frida & Diego." The exhibition also features works from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of Mexican Art, which comprises the largest private holding of 20th-century Mexican art, spanning works from the 1910s to the 1990s. Friends of Rivera and Kahlo, the Gelmans amassed a significant number of their works, including Kahlo's inventive self-portraits and Rivera's portrait of Natasha Gelman from 1943. Exhibition Organization and Support"Frida and Diego" is co-organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta) and the Museo Dolores Olmedo (Mexico City) in association with The Vergel Foundation, The Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of Mexican Art and Galería Arvil. Art Gallery of OntarioWith a permanent collection of more than 80,000 works of art, the Art Gallery of Ontario is among the most distinguished art museums in North America. In 2008, complete with a stunning new design by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the AGO opened its doors to the public amid international acclaim. Architectural highlights include Galleria Italia, a gleaming showcase made of wood and glass running the length of an entire city block, along the Gallery's facade; and the feature staircase, spiraling up through the roof of Walker Court and into the new contemporary galleries above. From the extensive Group of Seven collection to the dramatic African art gallery and from the cutting-edge works in the contemporary tower to Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece The Massacre of The Innocents, a highlight of the celebrated Thomson Collection, there is truly something for everyone at the Art Gallery of Ontario. The Art Gallery of Ontario is funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. Additional operating support is received from the City of Toronto, the Canada Council for the Arts and generous contributions from AGO members, donors and private-sector partners. High Museum of ArtFounded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the High is the leading art museum in the southeastern U.S. With more than 12,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum of Art has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists and is distinguished as the only major museum in North America to have a curatorial department specifically devoted to the field of folk and self-taught art. The High's media arts department produces acclaimed annual film series and festivals of foreign, independent and classic cinema. In November 2005 the High opened three new buildings by architect Renzo Piano that more than doubled the Museum's size, creating a vibrant "village for the arts" at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta. For more information about the High visit www.High.org. The Woodruff Arts CenterThe Woodruff Arts Center is ranked among the top four arts centers in the nation. The Woodruff is unique in that it combines four visual and performing arts divisions on one campus as one not-for-profit organization. Opened in 1968, the Woodruff Arts Center is home to the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the High Museum of Art and Young Audiences.

Healthy Steps Cheese Grater
A Better Way to Serve "Grate" Portions
The Problem:
People don't usually know how to portion their food in healthy amounts when cooking and serving. Cheese is frequently over used, adding extra calories and saturated fats to foods. Standard cheese graters are often cumbersome and messy, and the user can't immediately see the amount being grated.
Davison's Better Way:
The Healthy Steps Cheese Grater provides an easy way to grate and measure one serving at a time to help control portion sizes. The clear bin captures the cheese and allows you to easily view the amount inside. Simply fill the hopper to the first line for one serving of cheese, or fill it full of cheese for two servings, then lift the lid to dispense the cheese.

[This conference] is well-organized. It makes me want to learn more about BYU-Idaho.
Celebrating 50 Years of Exploring Frontiers BYU-IDAHO HOSTS THE WESTERN CONFERENCE OF THE ASSO CIATION OF
ASIAN STUDIES IN WEST YELLOWSTONE » By Abby Stevens
This year's Western Conference of the Association of Asian Studies (WCAAS) was unique in at least two ways: it was held in West Yellowstone, Montana, and it was hosted by BYU-Idaho. "Generally, BYU-Idaho doesn't host conferences, but the WCAAS board members were so impressed with our students at a previous conference that they asked us to host this year," said Michael Paul, an instructor in the Department of Languages and International Studies who primarily organized the October 11-13 event. "This was a way for BYUIdaho to engage in the greater academic community." Paul was joined by Jeremy Lamoreaux, an instructor in the Department of History, Geography, and Political Science, and Michael Allen, a BYU-Idaho student majoring in psychology, in organizing this year's WCAAS, which was also the fiftieth anniversary of the conference. Two years
of extensive planning and preparation went into the event to create panels and to organize transportation, food, and entertainment for the 100-plus attendees. "Having a background in Chinese studies, graphic design, and event management, I felt I could be of use to the organization," Allen said. "The result has been one of the most beneficial projects of my college career." Faculty from across the university presented research and chaired discussion panels at the conference. Areas represented included the Departments of Communication, Teacher Education, Religious Education, Business Management, Languages and International Studies, and History, Geography, and Political Science, as well as the David O. McKay Library. "Even though I haven't been to China, I help teach the Foundations course
about China on campus," said Brian Kinghorn, an instructor in the BYU-Idaho Department of Religious Education. "I talked about how teachers need to have a willingness to learn something new to teach their students." The students and professors who participated in the conference gathered not only from across the western United States, but also countries such as Turkey, Japan, and China. WCAAS participants discussed the frontiers of language, culture, and politics of Asia. "It was a fantastic array of people to make it a great event," Lamoreaux said. "It also helped that the conference topics and presenters were so diverse." "It was a good opportunity for students to learn how to organize a conference and get an eye-opening experience to see how graduate school works," said Lei Shen, an continued on page 5 N O V E M B E R 2 012
University News Briefs Math Department adds Statistics minor » By Spencer Allen
The Department of Mathematics is now offering Statistics as a minor. Instructors in the department are convinced this new addition will better prepare students for graduate school, the work place, or both. "With everything going on in the world and statistics often quoted, it's better to be informed. If we can teach our students and help them become more critical thinkers— even if they don't further their studies in statistics, just understanding how to interpret stats—that will be a great achievement for us," said Bonnie Moon, instructor in the department. To meet the requirements needed to offer the minor, the department added four statistically-based classes. The additional courses include Intermediate Statistics, Experimental Methods, Bayesian Statistics, and Applied Linear Regression. Incorporating these classes isn't the only thing the department has done to help students improve their understanding of statistics. The department recently supplemented SPSS, an older computer program, with a powerful statistics package called "R." One of the great benefits of "R" is not only that it was free, but also that it applies students' understanding of statistics with real-world applications. The exposure gained from this program will ease the transition to the job market or grad school. To date, seven students have enrolled in the minor. That number is expected to grow as the minor continues to gain exposure among other departments.
Health Center medical director honored » By Abby Stevens
Serving as a teacher and instructor to graduate students from Salus University, Dr. Andrew Bradbury, medical director of the BYU-Idaho Student Health Center, received the Preceptor of the Year award for the state of Idaho for "outstanding dedication and commitment to the training and education of the Physician Assistant Class of 2012" on October 4. "I'm really touched by it because I love teaching and precepting," Dr. Bradbury said. A preceptor is a medical expert who serves as an instructor and helps students gain experience. Dr. Bradbury served as preceptor for four students from Salus University. BYU-Idaho receives precepting students from Salus University's PA program, and in return, Salus University reserves four to six slots for BYU-Idaho students in its graduate program. Dr. Bradbury's Preceptor of the Year Award also speaks well of the BYU-Idaho Student Health Center. "The award reflects more on the Student Health Center than on me," Dr. Bradbury said. "It is in line with what we do at the Health Center, which is provide high quality medicine and health care, as well as teaching opportunities."

Former testing center renovated » By Abby Stevens
After relocating the testing center to the renovated Manwaring Center, the space used for the former testing center in the John L. Clarke Building has a new purpose in the works. The Department of Home and Family will use a portion of the space for a multipurpose learning lab. Part of the remodel will serve as a place parents can bring in their infants for student observation and learning. This will be the first time BYU-Idaho students will have the opportunity to observe infants. "It provides students with another age-range they can observe," said department chair Scott Gardner. "Rather than just having book knowledge, the students will also have hands-on experience." In infant labs, students will gain practical experience in working with parents and their infant child. "In a sense the infant sessions will serve as 'parent education,'" said instructor Mike Godfrey. The infant labs will have small groups of infants and their parents so students can observe infant development firsthand. The addition of first-hand infant study will better prepare and educated BYUIdaho students. "It's been a deficiency in our program because we haven't had anything with very young children," Godfrey said. "This will round-out the student curriculum nicely."
New chair named for Department of Music Diane Soelberg has been invited to serve as the new chair of the Department of Music. The assignment takes effect January 1, 2013. In announcing the new appointment, academic vice president Fenton Broadhead expressed his appreciation to the departing chairperson, Kevin Call, for the service he has given to the department and the university.
Department Spotlight: Construction Management » By Ben Burke
Last semester, students in the Department of Architecture and Construction stayed later than usual in the Austin Building doing work outside of their normally scheduled class assignments. In groups they have deliberated, brainstormed, and created. The reason for this sleep-depriving work? Experience.
would send over the specs of a project they wanted built, and each team would give their bid to the project in three phases. Once all bids were in, Parkway would come personally to judge the results. The competition provided a unique and challenging opportunity for students, "This is one of the hardest projects I've worked on in any of my classes, and this is all extra credit," said Helio Montero, a junior studying CM, "but it was well worth it." The competition also fostered opportunities for student to work with faculty as peers rather than a teacher to student relationship.
BYU-Idaho construction management (CM) students compete twice a year in two regional competitions. During the fall semester they compete at BYU in Provo; then during the winter semester in Reno, NV. Each competition is to improve skills as well as show competition sponsors, and actual construction companies, their skills 2/3 Wide Photo and abilities. with Caption "Many students walk away with jobs and internships based upon their performance at these competitions," says Shawn Jensen, a faculty member in the Department of Architecture and Construction.
During Winter Semester 2012, BYUIdaho took first place at BYU-Idaho construction management students compete twice a year in two regional competitions. the regional competition in Reno and several companies started to take notice. One of these companies was In phase one, each team or "company" Parkway Construction, located in Dallas. was asked to make a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). SOQs are comprised "After seeing what our students could of history of the company, past projects, do at the regional competition they wanted brief of team members qualifications, to give them even more experience so and letters of recommendations. A they could compete at a higher level at the special request was made by Parkway for competitions, and hopefully find student each team member to include his or her they could offer internships or jobs to," personal resume in the SOQs as well. Jensen says. Students only had a week before the Parkway approached the CM faculty SOQs were due. The companies were able with the idea of offering a mini, in-house, to breathe for a day before the four email competition just for BYU-Idaho students project proposal was sent over. The plans and the faculty jumped at the opportunity. were for a 1970s style Mexican restaurant The plan of the project was to have looking as if it had been added onto over Parkway act as a customer while students the years. Work began immediately on split up into seven teams and made their proposals which included timelines with own fictional CM companies. Parkway specific dates each phase would start and
end, budget of at least 200 items ranging from wood singles to plumbing tubes, detailed design and blue prints of each phase, and a building information model (BIM); a 3-D digital image of the finished building. The third phase occurred one short week after the proposals were due. The "companies" waited for Parkway to arrive and judge the results. The red carpet was laid out for Parkway. After they arrived and had a good night's rest, Thursday was spent meeting with faculty, getting a tour of campus, eating lunch, and judging each team's proposals. At the award ceremony Thursday night, Parkway awarded the winner of the competitions with breakfast the next morning. But breakfast dwarfed in comparison to the experience received from the competition, the opportunity to eat with professionals, and have an informal interview. This opportunity provided students to learn the trade and grow their skills and resumes. "I've never had this type of experience before," said Tommy Steinkuhler, a senior studying CM. "This has helped me immensely in my understanding of the flow of work and coordinating people." The competition proved successful. "We hope this will be an on going project for students, that this will become part of our curriculum and Parkway will continue to want to come and help us with it," says Jensen. When Parkway was asked why they took time in the first place to come out of a busy building season to put this whole competition on, visit a small city in Idaho, and to a relatively small university, they replied, "The spirit of giving back."
Faculty modern morality play puts a twist on classic stories » By Abby Stevens
"Wake up now." "Sleep in a little." "Yield for this pedestrian." "Make that girl wait on the curb for 30 more seconds." "Hold open the door for this man." "He can open the door himself." We each face multiple choices every day. Some clearly for good or evil, and some that fall into a grey area. Addressing the dual nature of humans, J. Omar Hansen, an instructor in the Department of Theatre wrote a modern morality play called Bielzy and Gottfried that presents common moral dilemmas. Bielzy and Gottfried is five plays in one. It is presented by Bielzy and Gottfried, two characters who represent evil and good, or the dual nature of life. "Each play present a dilemma, or a problem that human beings, and especially religious human beings, deal with," Hansen said. Hansen did not write the five plays together.
He wrote one of the five plays 25 years ago as a new teacher, and he wrote two more as separate works. "I love medieval plays, and I wondered what a modern one would look like, Hansen said. "Over a period of time I started to think, 'what if these plays presented the dual nature of life?'" Bielzy and Gottfried includes themes that members of the Church are familiar with, but with a different take on them. "There are a lot of Mormon themes in this play. It's Mormon in its theology, but Omar [Hansen] does things other members wouldn't think about, like making parallels between Adam and Eve and Pandora and Prometheus," said Jacob Chapman, who played two characters in the play. "It's a cool blend of Mormonism and mythology." The Bielzy and Gottfried cast enjoyed producing Hansen's work. "It's not often that we do an original work by
our own faculty, and it's also a modern morality play, which isn't produced much nowadays," said Justin Bates, director of Bielzy and Gottfried, and an instructor in the Department of Theatre. "It's a unique opportunity for our students." The students involved in Bielzy and Gottfried are able to talk with Hansen to understand the play better. "It's intriguing to have the faculty as a playwright on campus and to be able to ask him questions like why he wrote that line the way he did," said David Martinez, who portrayed Bielzy in the production. The play showed in the Snow Black Box Theatre October 24-27, and October 30-November 3. It was the first time Bielzy and Gottfried was officially put into production. "It's fabulous because it's the first time this production has had life breathed into it," Martinez said. "It's been hashed and rehashed, and now it's like a baby walking for the first time."
Faculty Fellowships for Fall Semester Each semester, BYU-Idaho provides opportunities for members of the faculty to take professional development leave to sharpen skills, revamp courses, and refocus their teaching efforts. Here is what some of our colleagues are doing this semester. Mark Bennion For many students in the English Department, writing for publication and presenting literary works are two important goals. To help students achieve these desires, Bennion will forge paths for students to better understand publication avenues, plan ways for students to present their work at conferences, study literature, develop teaching ideas and tools, and create a collection of poetry. Tom Rane To aid students in their pursuit of specialized degrees, Rane will meet with representatives at other universities to develop opportunities for BYU-Idaho students to take concurrent classes on our campus that will earn advanced credit at other universities, study prerequisite
courses for graduate courses to determine better preparation for our students, and research needed courses for students within the College of Education and Human Development. Reed Nielsen Teaching two classes in BYU's Construction Management program, Nielsen will spend this fellowship learning new teaching methods and new materials. Dana Johnson With almost 300 students enrolled online and on campus in Education 200: Philosophy and History of Education, Johnson will be using this semester to write a new textbook that will be free to students. Johnson will also be updating the online sections to align with the new text. Aaron Miller Pursing a Doctorate of Music degree at Northwestern University, Miller will spend the next two years studying double bass performance. His experience
will not only create more depth and a higher quality of education for students, but he will also network with many educators from different universities and professionals in the music industry. This will provide a greater network for BYUIdaho students wanting to further their education beyond their bachelor's degree. David Pigott Teaching two courses in Uganda at Muteesa I Royal University, Pigott is helping the Kingdom of Buganda to preserve the people's oral history and changes in culture that come from the influence of western cultural. Equipped with donated flash drives, books, digital audio recorders, and other supplies, Pigott is helping faculty there to break the norm of lecture, quiz, and test-based classes. The goal is to assist them in changing to a more research and experiential learning mode of instruction.

50 Years of Exploring Frontiers: Continued from page 1 instructor in the BYU-Idaho Department of Languages and International Studies. The keynote speaker was Theodore C. Bestor, President of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) and Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University. He was impressed with BYU-Idaho's ability to organize this year's WCAAS event. "[This conference] is well-organized. It makes me want to learn more about BYU-Idaho," Bestor said. He added that the conference had a very friendly
and intimate feel to it. During his year as President of the AAS, he visited half a dozen regional conferences, and he said, "This was the smallest, but also the most interesting in terms of the range of participants, including many highly motivated undergraduates." In addition to its 24 different panels, WCAAS also featured a dog sled kennel tour, live music entertainment from a Chinese-influenced folk group called "Matteo," and a Yellowstone tour provided by BYU-Idaho students.
"I was presented the opportunity to explain both the ecology and geography of Yellowstone, and how people and animals have affected the landscape to the guests in my van," said Camron Sego, a BYU-Idaho student majoring in wildlife biology who guided one of the Yellowstone tours. "It placed me in a great learning environment where I could get some great academic advice from them. It was a very positive experience for me." WCAAS guests were impressed by how efficiently and professionally BYU-Idaho hosted the conference. "The logistics of holding a conference with well over 100 presenters away from [the BYU-Idaho] campus with a two hour drive from the airport alone must have been a nightmare, not to mention overseeing all aspects of the conference and meeting the needs of the attendees," said Aki Hirota, professor emerita of modern and classical languages and literatures at California State University. "And yet, the conference was carried out smoothly, thanks to the intelligent and hard work of the organizers."
Organizers and presenters at WCAAS (from left to right): Jeremy Lamoreaux, Victoria Bestor, Lei Shen, Ted Bestor, Michael Paul, and Michael Allen.
The guests were also impressed with how well the BYU-Idaho students in attendance presented themselves. "We had four students present and they did a wonderful job. They represented themselves and BYU-Idaho so well," Kinghorn said. "Other professors were blown away and said, 'these guys are undergrads?'"

Since its transition from Ricks College in June 2000, BYU-Idaho has steadily seen an increase in student enrollment. This past fall was no different. Compared to Fall Semester 2011, this fall the student body population jumped 12 percent. To ease the transition for incoming students at BYU-Idaho and help the university's ability to help each individual, the Student Support programs have increased in activity.
Included within Student Support is the Student Representative Council (SRC), Get Connected, I-Night, Student Ambassadors, Student Associations, Involvement Council, and "Ask BYUI". Each plays a specific role in helping students make the most of their time at BYU-Idaho. Although all have enjoyed growth over the past few years, one program stands alone with year-over-year productivity. "Last year was a landmark year for 'Ask BYUI'," said Allen Jones, Director of Student Support. "We helped over 110,000 individuals by either answering their questions or by pointing them in the right direction. That momentum has carried on to this semester. During the beginning of the fall semester we were helping over 4,000 people a week and have already surpassed last year's total contacts."
Last year...we helped over 110,000 individuals by either answering their questions or by pointing them in the right direction.
Student Support originated in 1999 as New Student Orientation. It was primarily focused on helping freshmen and transfer students prepare and become more familiar with Ricks College. With many changes happening at BYU-Idaho in the near future, Student Support and its "Ask BYUI" service will be ready for any change.

Pathway helps students fulfill entrepreneurial goals » By Ben Burke
at a specific time each week wasn't feasible. Therefore help was sought from Brigham Taylor, a course and curriculum designer in Curriculum Development.
2/3 Wide Photo with Caption
Seeing the problem of getting students to engage spontaneously, Taylor went to work to find a video conferencing tool which would allow students to interact with their classmates despite the distance and time barrier. Taylor found YouSeeU, a company closely mimicking the format needed but it didn't have all the requirements.
Citlali Luna is a BYU-Idaho Pathway student from Mexico, where her family runs a sports clothing store.
The rooster crows and the dogs bark as the golden sunlight rises over the buildings. The temperature outside is already warm enough to make you perspire. Along the dirt streets cars, buses, and bikes take over as people try to get to their destinations. On one of these streets in Mexico a sports clothing store opens up for business. Citlali Luna, and her sister and husband, started their sports store to make a living for their family. "We are seeing a real demand for people that want to start a business but they either need training on how to get started or they need a certificate to demonstrate their new knowledge," says Jason Scott Earl, a faculty member in the Department of Business Management and instructor of the entrepreneurship classes. The question was, then, how do we get classes to these students domestically as well as internationally? Enter the Pathway Program. Pathway is a program allowing individuals an opportunity for higher education, without requiring them to come to campus. Enrolled students participate in the classes through online course work during the semester but they also meet together once a week with other Pathway students and full-time senior missionaries in their area. This community
provides a learning environment, which not only motivates, but also encourages students to work hard in their classes and gives them a sense of accountability. "I can find people who are prepared, and have the spirit, and that helps me stick with the program, be motivated and have faith in the program and in the Lord," Citali says of her experience. Opening more locations each semester, 14 online degrees are currently being offered. Starting this fall the business management degree is available. "In order to help our Pathway students to stay motivated, meet their needs, and help them get their degrees, we offer 'off ramps' along the way," says Rob Eaton, associate academic vice president of academic development. One of these "off ramp" stepping-stones on their way to a degree, is a certificate. Many people starting businesses around the world simply want the entrepreneurship certificate to get them started. This certificate, however, is just one of five offered within Pathway. "The entrepreneurship courses are exactly what students need if they are going to start a business," says Earl. The classes, however, use case studies, which is one aspect of spontaneity in the course that Earl didn't want to lose. But having all students from all around the world, meet
"I loved their tool and what they were doing but they didn't have exactly what we wanted so I called them and told them what I was looking for," Taylor said. "They were excited by our ideas and we started to work together to create a new version of their online conferencing specifically for case studies." At the end of June, Earl and Taylor traveled to Boston to participate at a Harvard forum where they were the presenters with other colleges in physical and remote attendance. "The reception was very good and many of the universities were excited about what we were doing," said Taylor. "It was interesting to attend Harvard and show our colleagues what's new and how we can all help future students," said Earl. The main reason for the visits, the new technology, and the creation of new programs is all to encourage and empower students like Citlali and her sister. Earl says, "This online opportunity and new technology is all a fulfillment of prophecy from President Clark when he said in his inaugural address, 'In a day not far from now, we will be able to break down the barriers of time and space and connect our students on internships or between semesters to the university and to each other and create outstanding, interactive educational experiences.'"
FamilySearch hires BYU-Idaho students
» By Spencer Allen
With the world's largest source of family trees and genealogy resources, FamilySearch has united individuals and families for over 100 years. Billions of names have been collected and can be accessed online or at any of their 4,500 family history centers worldwide. As the genealogy organization continues to adapt with the latest technology, they have turned to an unlikely bunch for help. Two weeks ago, four students studying computer science and electrical engineering at BYU-Idaho were hired to further develop software for the genealogy guru. The students will work on side projects that FamilySearch would like to do but simply doesn't have the resources in Utah. "Not only is this great for employment but this allows these students a chance to apply the very things they're learning in the classroom. It gives them incredible real-life experience," said Richard
Grimmett, instructor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Students who are fluent in foreign languages are also been sought after. At the moment, FamilySearch needs help transcribing records from Spanish, Italian, German, Korean, and Chinese into English. Before records are opened to the public, the multilingual students will translate and upload their work in classified search engines for genealogy researchers. As members of the Church continue to take pictures of family records throughout the world, the workload for the new hires of FamilySearch will continue to increase. The hope is to not only move the work of FamilySearch forward, but also invite individuals of all faiths to search and discover their families.

Displaying the various stages on the path to a final art product, David Belka, chair of the Department of Art, will exhibit his work in the Jacob Spori Gallery now through December 14.
"I think a couple challenges that teachers in secondary education face in art are budget and doing a lot of things really well," Belka said. "The idea is to show how to met these challenges."
"The display has artwork that is designed around how you would teach art to middle or high school students," Belka said.
Belka enjoyed the time he had to sharpen his skills while working on his exhibit.
Belka started working on this exhibit during his fellowship in the spring. Some of his pieces show how art instructors can teach and give students experience on a budget.
"It was fun to work on things I haven't done in a while," Belka said. "I like getting my hands dirty, focusing on my skills, and being able to create something."
I would like to thank all the fine people at BYU-Idaho and the Information Technology Department for the lovely flower bouquet, the many condolences, and well wishes with the passing of Kathey's mother. It is very much appreciated. Thank you. Paul and Kathey LaFollette
