During the last decade, the paperboard industry has seen sustainable practices go from occasional application to the industry standard, achieving new benchmarks in packaging innovation. As beauty and other companies deliver on the broader promises of sustainability, the paperboard packaging industry is manufacturing packages that help reduce the product-to-package weight ratio, increase shipping efficiencies and introduce new more environmentally friendly materials.
True sustainability is a balance between environmental and social stewardship and economic practicality. Cost, performance, and environmental and social impacts must all be managed, beginning with packaging design and specifications, moving to manufacturing and distribution, and then the end-of-life of a material.
Discussing sustainability and packaging trends in this Q&A, PaperWorks Industries' corporate sustainability directory Kyla Fisher shed some light on what the environment for paperboard packaging looks like now.
Q: Are you seeing an increased demand for certain types of sustainable materials?
Kyla Fisher: Absolutely. Our customers are asking for higher percentages of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in paperboard than ever before. Many of the Fortune 1000 have set the goal of increasing PCR content in their material and are looking for suppliers that can help them achieve a gradual increase over the next decade. In addition, some customers are looking for completely plastic-free and additive-free packaging solutions to address consumer concerns around estrogenic compounds leaching into food and beverage products as well as at end-of-life disposal.
We [also] are seeing more requests for biodegradable film in windows on cartons and in blister packs. However, the [packaging] industry is still exploring the limits of biodegradable materials, looking to see how these materials will be handled in the recycling stream, and if our current collection and waste systems are adequately set up to handle degradable materials.
Brands are also interested in sustainable package coatings and printing. PaperWorks' Holobrite, for example, replaces printing directly on foil or holographic board while still providing the reflective nature of these materials. Typically, holographic effects render packaging non-recyclable, [but this] process maintains the packaging's recyclability by micro-embossing a reflective coating onto CRB [coated recycled boxboard].
Q: What issues are currently on the materials regulatory front? Is there anything new on the horizon?
KF: One issue on the radar is in the European Union, where there is growing sensitivity over chemical use in consumer products. Recently, there has been concern regarding the potential risks associated with mineral oil in food packaging. It has been argued that mineral oil saturate hydrocarbons (MOSH), which may be found in recycled packaging, are migrating out of the paperboard into other products. Concern over MOSH is a relatively new development that is still being addressed; however, the science behind the claims is being contested. The E.U. has deferred regulating MOSH until they have developed a more comprehensive process to assess the true impact of chemicals in packaging.

The San Francisco 49ers are back in the Super Bowl. This must still come as a shock to the Atlanta Falcons, who could have sworn they were up 17-0 on the 49ers last time they looked at the scoreboard. But it should come as no surprise to Bay Area sports fans, who have spent the last year partying like it's 1989.
The Golden State Warriors looking like a playoff team? Check.
The Giants and A's, both playoff teams? Check, and check.
The 49ers among the NFL's elite? Check mate.
The last time the sports stars lined up like this in the Bay Area was 1989, when the A's and Giants made the World Series the Bay Bridge Series, and the 49ers were on their way to a fourth Super Bowl title.
Coach Jim Harbaugh's immediate transformation of the 49ers, a franchise with a rich history of five Super Bowl titles, but one that had fallen into mediocrity for years, is nothing short of remarkable.
The 49ers' ascendancy is exciting in its own right, but when one considers the bigger picture, it should make the Bay Area downright giddy.
The Giants have won baseball's world championship two of the last three seasons after spending 52 seasons in the Bay Area without a single World Series title.
The A's last season rose from relative obscurity and mediocrity to fashion a truly improbable and dramatic win of the American League's West Division crown.
Meanwhile, the Warriors have begun to take on the look of a serious player in the National Basketball Association after years of frustrations for the team's loyal fans. And the San Jose Sharks again have the look of a top contending team in the lockout-shortened season in the National Hockey League.
That is quite a turnaround for the local professional sports scene. Before the Giants' 2010 championship, the landscape here had been barren for a while. We don't mind telling you that we enjoy seeing the local fan base energized.
As for the Super Bowl, the NFL's championship, already one of the most hyped events on the planet, received a hype infusion Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens also won -- setting up the first Super Bowl to pit head coaches who are brothers against each other. We have no doubt that much more will be said about that in the coming days.
Aside from this Super Bowl being what has already been dubbed the Har-Bowl because the Harbaugh brothers are playing each other, there are plenty of compelling stories surrounding it. From the emergence of a near-rookie quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, for the 49ers to the anticipated retirement of Ravens' megastar Ray Lewis, we are sure that sports writers will have plenty to write about in the remaining days leading to the Super Bowl.
Of course, the writers have always managed to find plenty of stories to fill time between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl. Not to mention bombarding us with every statistic known to man about the two teams.
But this year, most of us will likely pay much closer attention to it all now that the 49ers appear to have regained the luster of bygone years. We know that we will.

Denny HairAffiliation:
Thunder/Clinician/Master Drum Instructor Firehouse Music
Artist's BiographyDenny has been playing drums for quite a few years now. He started playing in 1965 and was playing professionally before he left high school. He studied under Joe Raynor for a number of years. He enjoyed Big Band Jazz Drumming and studied under Hal Tennyson's Young Jazz Artist. In the 1970's he was a Drum Instructor for H & H Music. He was a Music Major at San Jacinto Jr. College and the University of Houston. Denny has always been known as a showman and gained national recognition for his Drum Exhibitions and extended drum solos. At one time, Denny was a member of the National Association of Rudimental Drummers (NARD) and is a member of the Percussive Arts Society (PAS). Denny is a skilled rudimental drummer and learned back sticking from Mitch Markovitch. He traveled with Operation Morale during the last part of the Vietnam War and entertained troops in Texas and California. Denny played in many bands during his professional career. These bands included The Bone Garden, Street Corner Society, Texas Hot Shots, and The Wayward Gap. From 1971 through 1975 Denny led his own band called Southbound. The Jazz/Rock format of Southbound would go to form the concept for Thunder, the band he currently leads and arranges for. In 1975 Denny went on the road and played with Vince Vance and the Valiants. He continued his road tour with Full House and Four by Four. Denny was a member of the Houston Police Concert Band and Orchestra.
Denny title at the Firehouse music stores is Master Instructor of Drumming. He will not teach a student unless they are willing to learn to read music, learn the rudiments. He has a waiting list of students and schedules new ones only when an opening occurs. He is a competent Praise and Worship Drummer and is called upon to play at area churches when their drummer is out. He is the drummer on call at Ace Music Theater which specializes in Broadway Production put on in Houston. These require precision reading and impromptu percussion ad-libs when sound effects are called for. Denny leads his own band, Thunder, which is a 13 piece band that plays all styles of music. Denny is published and writes drum related articles on a national level. One such article appeared in the Not So Modern Drum Magazine, Volume 13 #2 2nd Quarter Summer Fall 2004 "The 1941 Gene Krupa Armature Swing Drummer Contest" Denny has also written several drum solo pieces that are performed annually at his Drum Recital held each year in Tomball, Texas. Denny gives area clinics on drum history, technique and style, rudimental drumming, coordinated independence and a variety of drum styles. Denny is kidded by his friends as the "Ludwig Drummer" because of his playing of Ludwig drums all his life. Denny said at a clinic in Tomball, "When I was 12 years old and wanted a set of drums, my father looked into what was considered the best drums made. As he could afford them, I got my first set of Ludwigs. I still have that set and teach on it four days a week. I could buy any set I want today but play Ludwig. I know their history, how they are made, who played them and love their sound. I own Ludwig drums dating back to the 1920's and my collections continue through the 1990's. I believe in the drums, the way they are constructed and having played them for 40 years, I see no reason to ever switch to another brand. As a hobby I have restored quit a few Ludwig drum sets from the 1960's and 70's. In fact, two of the sets I play out are Ludwig sets I restored back to their original condition. I sometimes give clinics on them. One of my prize drums is a modern Black Beauty Snare drum that John Aldridge engraved for me. It doesn't set of the shelf…it is played! " Denny plays Zildjian Cymbals as well and still has his first set.

Its a tradition that when Warner Bros. and DC put out a new animated film they hold twin screening events at the Paley Centers for Media in New York and Beverly Hills. Ive had the pleasure of attending those for Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (read our story HERE) as well as Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (read the story HERE). This time around, the creative team embarked on a truly monumental challenge: to bring the classic All-Star Superman story to animated form! The film releases on DVD, Blu-ray, and more on February 22nd. Read on to learn about the West Coast premiere!
Red Carpet
As was the case with previous premieres, this event took place at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills. The few fans who were able to sign up for tickets waited eagerly outside while those of us in the press corps headed into the lobby. Set up around the room were posters for the film featuring the box art of Superman flying in the sun. One by one the members of the cast and crew filed by, posing for photos and getting interviewed.
First up was Sam Liu, director of All-Star Superman (as well as the previous Justice League film and lots of others). In relation to the other animated DC Universe stories, he said Its not like the others where its all about a big event, and there are fewer fight scenes. But the story is full of human elements. Its my favorite so far. I asked Sam how they tackled the iconic visual style of Frank Quitelys art in the original All-Star Superman comic. There was a lot of input from Bruce Timm [Executive Producer]. We went through three or four artists who kept getting closer but it wasnt quite there. Finally we looked at Jon Suzuki who really nailed it; he became the character designer for the film. The original telling of All-Star Superman spanned 12 issues that were each a tale unto themselves, which then fit together into a whole. I asked Sam how the film presented that episodic story. Basically, the comic book and animated films are two totally different mediums. The comic came out in issues, or chapters, but we couldnt have a series of cliffhangers throughout the film. As written the story was pretty disjointed and non-chronological; thats not the way we made the movie. In the writing we needed to transition through the chapters.
Next up in the press line was Bruce Timm, Executive Producer of All-Star Superman and creator of just about every DC animated project since Batman: the Animated Series. Regarding the biggest challenges in bringing this story to the screen, Timm recalled two specific areas: condensing the script to 70 minutes without losing the heart of it, and getting the art to look like Quitelys. I asked Bruce about the more balanced interplay of action and drama in this and he admitted that its not just a slugfest, like some of our other films. But the action scenes do have a point. Its really a personal story about Superman. Timm further revealed that All-Star Superman is one of his favorite stories of all time, and that it was very hard to make cuts to the story to fit the film (especially the Bizarro sequence). In other news, Grant Morrison saw the movie and loved it, but Frank Quitely hasnt seen it yet.
One of the main driving forces behind the film is of course its writer Dwayne McDuffie. While talking to the press line he revealed that he made a small change to the end of the film, adding a brief scene that he felt really tied into the theme and the story. He lamented not being able to include the iconic scene from the comic in which Superman takes a moment to save a girl about to commit suicide; there just wasnt a place he could fit it in. I asked Dwayne what scene was the hardest to write, but he replied none of them really, but the prison scene was technically demanding getting the timing and pacing right with all of the action. And the easiest? Lois paranoia when she visits the Fortress of Solitude was very fun to write. With regard to new viewers, Dwayne felt that the film doesnt get in the way of getting into the story. Its definitely accessible. I couldnt help but chat with McDuffie about one of his other big writing projects, Ben 10. One of the best shows on television, Ben 10 according to Dwayne has plenty more on the way.
Next up was Andrea Romano, queen of animated dialogue (seriously, check out her credits on IMDB). She only had a moment, but was eager to talk to me. All-Star Superman featured several actors new to animation. To bring them in and get the best performances out of them, Andrea said its all about trust. We show them the characters and get them comfortable in the environment. They all did great. I asked about the amazing array of secondary characters in the story, and which ones were her favorite. Dr. Quintum, played by Buffy and Angels Alexis Denisof, was really fun; hes an odd guy. Then we had the amazing Obba Babatunde as the World Court Judge and the Bibliobot. And of course Ed Asner (playing Perry White) is always great.
Also on hand in the press line were actors James Denton (above - Superman) and Matthew Gray Gubler (Jimmy Olsen), but there wasnt enough time to talk to everyone.
The Film
What you think of All-Star Superman may very well depend on whether or not youve read the comic series. Lets get this out of the way; if you read comics and/or like Superman, you owe it to yourself to read All-Star Superman. The story is an ode to the character, essentially summing up his life and its meaning set against the backdrop of his final adventures. At the same time, its a look into the psyches of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they live in the shadow of Superman. In 12 issues Grant Morrison captured the spirit of Superman as he struggles with his own mortality and his impact on Earth and those around him. Its a very emotional journey as Superman accomplishes one great feat after another in his final days. These dont always involve combat, and the story is just as noteworthy for its relatively few action scenes. Beyond the fantastic story is the stunning art by Frank Quitely. With its truly unique style and representation of familiar characters, the visuals propel the work onto a whole different level. Superman is larger than life, but not hugely muscled or matinee idol-handsome. Lex Luthor spends as much time working out his body as he does his mind, sporting a tough, lean physique. Emotions are plain as day on the faces of the heroes and villains, pulling you through the same wringer that theyre experiencing. Add to that a couple years of growing fame and a series of awards including an Eisner and youve got one of the most beloved stories in recent years. To say that it was a challenge turning All-Star Superman into an animated feature is an understatement.
The film version stays very faithful to the original story, capturing the final days of Superman and his heroic exploits. Dwayne McDuffie boiled down the crucial elements from the 12 issue series including Supermans initial rescue in the sun and subsequent poisoning, his date with Lois Lane, Kents prison interview with Lex, the arrival of Kryptonian astronauts on Earth, and the final battles with Solaris and Lex. Within that framework there are also plenty of the little moments that make All-Star so enjoyable. Theres also a great balance between the heavy emotions and comedy and action. In addition to the overall story, the film adapts plenty of dialogue directly out of the book, and youll no doubt re-live your initial reading of it as the characters speak the words that were so powerful on the page.
On the other hand, not every panel of a 12 issue series can fit into a 70 minute film, and so there were cuts. Those who have read the original will notice the lack of some of the larger plot elements (notably the Bizarro sequence and Kent Farm flashback). As the films creators discussed in the Q&As, it was a matter of staying true to the heart of the story. While Superman is noble and clever in the Bizarro story, its exclusion doesnt significantly reduce the character, his motivations, or how you feel about them. In turn, McDuffie added one element to the ending of the film, a sort of postscript send off that ties together loose ends in a new and compact way. Only those who have read the comic will realize it, and it truly fits with the themes and arc of the films story.
From the artwork on the DVD/Blu-ray cover, you can tell that much work was put into staying faithful to the style of Quitely as well. In this the crew at DC and Warner Bros. did a great job. The art style is very different from what weve seen before in the animated features, with particular effort put toward perfecting the main characters. Superman is powerful yet engaging and vulnerable while contrasting Lois petite beauty. Clark is adorably frumpy in his over-large clothing and ill-fitting glasses, especially as compared to Lexs palpable hunger. Vistas and backgrounds are subtly shaded with the same pastel palette from the book, vibrant and alive. Even with the intricacies of the characters and their surroundings, the action scenes are powerful and dynamic.
Despite most of the cast being new to animation, the voice acting is really good. Just as Superman isnt the fighting powerhouse seen in other stories, Dentons depiction really does bring a softer, more introspective side to the hero. In fact, all of the main characters are nicely faceted and multi-dimensional as they deal with the triumphs and tragedies of Supermans final days. Anthony LaPaglias Lex Luthor is viciously brilliant, a man obsessed with what could have been. And yet in his final moments, the turn to empathy and understanding is brutally true. Christina Hendricks Lois Lane is alternatively full of wonder at being a part of Supermans world, tough as nails when it comes to her job and protecting her hero, and hopeful beyond measure even when things are at their most bleak. The nuanced performances are truly a testament to the skills of both the actors and Andrea Romano. Finally, even the more minor characters really come to life with great voice performances, especially Gublers Olsen and Denisofs Quintum.
While it may not have the same level of frenetic action as most of the others, All-Star Superman has by far the most developed and complex story of the DC animated films. The evolution and development of the characters is completely real, as are their emotional reactions to the events of the story. Best of all, the movie works on several levels. If youve never read All-Star, youll find a great story of the Man of Steel and the highest and lowest moments of his life. If you have read it, the film will remind you of the excellent story and beautiful art in a whole new vivid way. Either way, fans of Superman and the DC Universe owe it to themselves to check this out.
Panel Discussion
After the film, moderator Gary Miereanu introduced the cast and crew in attendance who then sat for a Q&A session. Gary started things off by asking how the creators went about adapting All-Star Superman, and especially how they decided what to cut and what to keep. Timm joked that he dumped it on Dwayne and told him to make it work, but that they really hashed out an outline over a weekend. McDuffie called the original story episodic but with a strong core of mortality leading into the final battle. He focused on the scenes that told that story, and then added secondary and tertiary ones where possible.
While that covered adapting the story, what about the art? Timm called that the hardest job Ive had in 20 years. He described Quitelys art as unique, with a huge appeal in the comics. It was hard to translate that into animation, to boil it down to its essence and then have Korean animators do it. It took us weeks on the designs, but finally we ended up with Jon Suzuki. Liu added that they went through 3 or 4 designers and that they felt an obligation to get it perfect.
Gary then switched gears and asked about the voice performances, especially since All-Star Superman has animation novices in most of the lead roles. Romano described how she makes a comfortable, trusting environment for them to explore. Denton likened the experience to going to a new specialist who really knows what shes doing. Gubler then talked a bit about the give and take between actors in a scene, and how in regular acting the person off-screen doesnt usually emote very much. In contrast, Andrea acts out every other part and reads you in, making it much more natural.
When asked about the difference between writing a film and seeing it McDuffie called watching it 1,000 times better. The actors are so much better than what I had in my head. Its really my favorite thing, to see what they do with what I write.
James Denton is probably best known for his work on Desperate Housewives. Gary asked him how he went from that to playing the Man of Steel. Denton recalls not really realizing the magnitude of his new role until he was driving to the studio. They had offered me the part and I automatically said yes. Then I got to thinking about how iconic the character is, all the fans, and of course the specific All-Star Superman story. It was a big challenge for me, because usually I play me.
Gary then asked the entire panel to pick out their favorite scenes to watch, and to put together. Timm admitted to being a softie and always tearing up at the goodbye scene with Ma Kent which he called subtle. Romano agreed, choosing the specific shot in which Superman lays his hand on Pas tombstone and very gently strokes it with his thumb. Timm jumped back in to describe one particular problematic scene, the big battle between Superman and Solaris. When we watched it Sam felt it fell flat, but I told him to wait until we had the score in place. Now its epic. McDuffies favorite is the opening of the film with the decisive voiceover Doomed Planet. Kindly Couple... He also really liked the Ma goodbye scene, and felt it was good enough to offset the loss of Krypto in the film. Liu preferred Supermans last goodbye to Lois and discussed the hard work in perfecting the Man of Steels disintegrating appearance. Romano liked the goodbyes as well, including Superman setting off to take care of Kandor. Gubler appreciated the messages of humanity, love, and forgiveness. Denton too liked the Fortress scene with Lois.
At that point Gary opened up the questions to the audience. The first person wanted to know about the casting process. Romano described looking at the source material, then brainstorming as a group. Then I look at my wish list where I keep names of people who I would love to cast. As we choose people I also have to consider who would work well with the other voices to make a good ensemble. Timm chimed in, adding that the biggest concern was obviously the voice of Superman. He called All-Star Superman a cross between King Arthur and Jesus. Hes innately good and a source of inspiration for all. Hes not just a badass, but hes nice too. James [Denton] really brought that likeability.
One fan of the comic series appreciated the inclusion of Superman saving a man from falling bridge debris early in the film. McDuffie recalled wanting more than just the pure story, and the book is full of moments like that. Its really the best scene of Superman helping others while disguised as Clark Kent.
When asked about the differences between this type of story and one like Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, Romano joked that All-Star Superman had fewer characters. Timm called Crisis their normal type of movie and explained that his team came up with the action and comedy mix from the Justice League show template. All-Star Superman was totally different. McDuffie agreed, noting that this film has a 20 minute date scene!
The next fan wanted to know if there were audience reactions that the cast and crew didnt expect. Timm recalled their first film, Superman: Doomsday, in which they actively tried for a more adult tone. Near the beginning Doomsday kills a deer, and the audience cheered! McDuffie was very concerned about the camp level in All-Star Superman, saying that they never really know how its going to play until its done.
Denton was asked about playing such an iconic role, and the actor called it daunting. I tried to stay above it. Something that helped me understand the character was what Grant Morrison said about Superman: hes actually three characters in one. Theres Superman the hero and Clark Kent the bumbling reporter, but those are both just facades for the real Clark Kent who grew up in Smallville with the Kents values. Gubler really felt he was in something momentous when his dad got excited. At first he thought about searching out and reading/watching a bunch of source material, but then decided to just be sincere in his own interpretation of the character.
A longtime Superman reader asked about how the filmmakers created the Fortress of Solitude. Timm described the biggest challenge of adapting Quitelys art: the backgrounds are really spare. We modeled our Daily Planet exactly on the art and then realized we needed to add background elements or it wouldnt look right. Just so with the Fortress; we tried to honor the comic with the palette and main painted elements, then we added details.
How is voice acting different? asked the next audience member. Gubler called voice work the truest acting. Theres a stark element to it; its very exciting. Denton added that its crucial you trust the director.
Another fan of the comic asked how many times the cast and crew had read the comic, and what they thought was the most important part of it. Romano admitted to reading it just once, and focused on the romance in balance. McDuffie, who had read it many times, felt strongly about the humanism. Superman represents hope and all of the emotions were ashamed of, the ones called soft. Timm had read the series during its release, then when it came out in the trades, but not again until he got the script. Liu had read it twice.
When asked about the difference between adapting a story and creating an original one, Timm called the two practices totally different. McDuffie recalled being the new guy while working on Justice League, but learned quickly to go to the essence or idea of a character and then cherry pick the stories that embody it. It was the same here, but within 12 issues. Liu said that adapting can be easier or harder depending on the subject. When its original you dont have to follow whats already been done and accepted by fans, which can be limiting.
The final questioner asked about the future of DC animated films and what fans can expect in the future. Romano proudly declared that well keep getting better and better. Liu described All-Star Superman as something different, something new. If this is successful well be able to do more varied stories, with more personal and dramatic elements. Denton added that hed be willing to do anything asked of him.
And with that, the event was finished. Go out and your copy of All-Star Superman now!

Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame To Welcome Two New Members
ATHENS, Texas — Two men have been selected as the 2006 inductees into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, and their background and achievements make them perfect complements to each other.
Albert S. ("Buddy") Bradley of Dallas devoted much of his life to the study of largemouth bass and how to fish for them, helping to popularize bass fishing by giving how-to-fish presentations across the nation.
Richard M. ("Dick") Hart of Dallas has spent much of the last several years raising funds to help preserve the tradition of fishing so ably developed and promoted by Bradley and others. His crowning achievement was a successful effort to secure private funding for a $2 million structure to be built at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. Included in those funds was a $650,000 matching gift from Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris. Construction is due to start this year.
Hart and Bradley will be inducted into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Athens at a banquet on June 3.
Bradley began studying the behavior of largemouth bass as a teenager in the 1940s, conducting experiments that showed that bass could distinguish between colors and revealing that fish use their hearing to find moving objects in dark or murky water. His studies on the strike reflex of bass taught anglers that varying the speed of their retrieve could tempt a fish to bite. He earned money for college by working as a licensed guide on Possum Kingdom Reservoir. Later he worked with B.A.S.S. founder Ray Scott in the early years of that organization, giving seminars on bass fishing with Roland Martin, John Powell, Ray Murski and others. Bradley served as an advisor to the Shakespeare and Bomber Bait companies for many years. He was an early proponent of catch-and-release fishing and still gives fishing presentations as time allows.
Dick Hart coupled a successful business career with a long record of volunteer service in the Dallas area. He is the retired chairman of the trust committee for Bank One and currently serves on the board of directors of Exxon Asset Management Company, Exxon Project Management Company, Dallas Advisory Board of Oncor Electric, Circle Ten Council of Boy Scouts of America Foundation, Baylor Oral Health Foundation and the Friends of the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. He has served on numerous civic boards in the Dallas area.
Following a visit to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, Hart became involved with efforts to increase the ability of TFFC to educate youngsters about fishing, conservation and the environment. Hart took on the job of raising funds for a new educational facility that was far beyond the capability of state government to build. Three years later the Friends of the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center had $2 million in the bank and the plans for a new facility that will be used to teach future generations about fishing and wildlife conservation.
Hart's interest in fishing is very personal. He is the holder of two IGFA fly fishing world records and has fished in 20 states and six foreign countries. As a child Hart was introduced to fishing by a neighbor, and he has made a life-long practice of passing on that kindness. One of the youths he mentored was Alton Jones of Waco, who has since gone on to be a professional bass angler, nine-time BassMaster Classic qualifier and MegaBucks champion. Hart has also long maintained a relationship with youth through involvement with the Circle Ten Council of Boy Scouts of America. He was awarded the Silver Beaver Award in recognition of the highest level of service to the Boy Scouts.
The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is proud to add the names of these two distinguished anglers, mentors and educators to the list of those honored in the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. Prior inductees include Floyd Mabry, Jackie Hewlett, R.D. Hull, Bob Kemp, Nick Crème, Charlie Inman, Sugar Ferris, Leonard Ranne, Earl Golding, Kathy Magers, the Sabine River Authority, Skeeter Boats, Michael ("Shorty") Powers and Ray Murski.

Mettler Toledo has introduced a dedicated thermogravimetric analyzer, the TGA 1. The sensitive instrument facilitates the characterization of plastics, elastomers, thermosets, and other materials, and can measure up to 50 million resolution points continuously down to 0.1 ug for a 5-g sample weight. The instrument requires no weight range change when switching between small and large sample sizes.
The heart of the TGA 1 is its weighing cell. Internal calibration ring weights built into precise micro and ultramicro balance allow users to perform measurements with a high degree of accuracy. Its modular design increases flexibility and ease of use. Efficient automation for sample handling and a variety of furnace/crucible sizes help broaden its application range. Results are analyzed using STAR software.
To further ensure accuracy, the TGA 1 has a precisely defined furnace atmosphere. A horizontal furnace design minimizes possible turbulence caused by thermal buoyancy and purge gas, while a gas-tight cell that can be purged with a defined gas atmosphere offers unambiguous information and quality results.

1993 Toyota Pickup - Weekend Warrior: Part 7 (Body Drop 3), Clutch
Body-Drop It Part III
For the final installment of the Weekend Warrior Toyota body-drop, we wanted to focus on dealing with the pesky clutch problem. Rather than just do the normal magazine-style overview, we knew it would be more beneficial to show you the in-depth process of relocating the clutch master cylinder to clear the bigger wheels. And, on top of all that, we've thrown in some tips as a body-drop survival guide, which will help you get through the arduous process and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, go body-drop your truck. (Yes, Steve, this one's for you!)
Body-drop Survival Guide
1. First and foremost, when planning to bodydrop your truck, the very first step is to make sure it lays flat frame. All crossmembers must be addressed and the entire frame needs to lie flat on the ground-before you even think about that body-drop.
2. Once the truck is completely laid out, the next thing is to make a plan and size everything up. This includes knowing what wheel size you will run and exactly how low you want to go: to the pinch, to the rocker, to the door, and so on.
3. For the smoothest body-drop possible, do everything else first. Meaning: drop your motor, relocate the suspension, get all of the other issues worked out, and then you can cut your floor and lay her flat out.
3. For the smoothest body-drop possible, do everything else first. Meaning: drop your motor, relocate the suspension, get all of the other issues worked out, and then you can cut your floor and lay her flat out.
4. Planning ahead and making a body-drop checklist is the safest way to ensure you don't run into any unforeseen problems. Decide right away if you want to keep your A/C, heat, and other amenities. You need to know right away what route you want to take, such as stock-floor, traditional, channel, and so on.
Body-drop Checklist
-Lays full frame all the way around
-Lays full frame all the way around
-Suspension, four-link, everything else is done and ready to go. If not, finish all the suspension work before messing with the body-drop.
-Wheel size (Total O.D. with tire) =
A/C: Yes or No
A/C: Yes or No
-Total Body-drop (in inches) =
-To make things easier, disassemble-pull the dash, drop the motor, and so on-do everything possible before setting the truck up for the body-drop.
-When getting started, set the truck up on level surface, not the floor!
-Measure, measure, measure! Measure out the body-drop before you start cutting.
-Many things will have to be relocated and it's different for every truck. When relocating and rewiring, it's best to save the stock grommets by cutting them out on the firewall so they can be relocated and rewelded.
-With the wires cut out and ready to relocate, the firewall can be tubbed for wheel clearance.
-Before cutting the cab, lay 2x4s across the level surface so the cab has something to rest on when dropping it.
-With the cab dropped, you can now plate the floor. Depending on the truck, you might need to build a bigger tranny tunnel. When plating the floor, it's best to channel it or angle the plate so it's not such a steep stepup. Make sure everything is welded up water-tight, so water can't get into the cab at any angle.
-With the cab set, you can move to the front and drop the front frame horns. Generally, this is the same amount as the body-drop.
-If you've already dropped the motor and relocated everything under the hood, then you can move on to the bed. If not, relocate, rewire, and set up the motor.
-The bed is the last piece of the puzzle, and the easiest. Depending on your air setup, you can over body-drop the bed to make some room.
-Time to wrap up all of the loose ends, wire everything, and get the truck back together!
-Last, but not least, take it for a cruise and see how much closer you come to being able to touch the ground out the driver's window!

Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection, Interview with Ruth Elias
Collection Title:
Claude Lanzmann Shoah Collection
Event Date:
US Holocaust Memorial Museum & Yad Vashem & State of Israel
Lanzmann's original transcript
Ruth Elias was a Czech Jew who was sent with her family to Theresienstadt, where she became pregnant. She managed to hide her condition in Auschwitz but was eventually discovered and she and her baby were experimented upon by Mengele. She speaks of these experiences and of her solidarity with other women prisoners.
FILM ID 3112 -- Camera Rolls #1-2 -- 01:00:13 to 01:14:46
Ruth Elias tells of her early life growing up in Czechoslovakia. She describes the Germans entering Czechoslovakia in 1939. The foreman of her father's factory immediately seized it from him and the family lost their flat. Her father avoided being sent to Nisko and they lived in hiding in the countryside. On 4 April 1942 they were caught and sent to Theresienstadt, where she was housed in a large room in the Hamburger Kaserne with many other women.
FILM ID 3113 -- Camera Rolls #3-4 -- 02:00:13 to 02:10:53
[CLIP 1 BEGINS] Seven days after arrival her entire family was summoned for a transport but she became ill and could not go. Her father insisted that she go, so she married her boyfriend in order to stay. The rest of her family went on the transport and she never saw them again [CLIP 1 ENDS].
FILM ID 3114 -- Camera Rolls #5-9A -- 03:00:12 to 03:33:50
She became a trainee nurse and her husband joined the Ghettowache. Lanzmann asks her about the experience of the elderly in Theresienstadt. She received a card from her father saying that her mother had been shot before his eyes. She was hungry all the time and decided to leave nursing to become a cook so that she could be near food. She and the others sang in the kitchen as they worked.
FILM ID 3115 -- Camera Roll #10 -- 04:00:14 to 04:11:15
She demonstrates for Lanzmann one of the songs they used to sing, and accompanies herself on the accordian. [CLIP 2 BEGINS] She says that she was able to live with her husband and another couple and in the summer of 1943 she became pregnant. She tried to have an abortion but it had recently been officially forbidden by the Germans [CLIP 2 ENDS].
FILM ID 3116 -- Camera Rolls #11-12 -- 05:00:06 to 05:19:10
[CLIP 3 BEGINS] She and her husband were deported to Auschwitz in December 1943. She describes the rail journey, arrival at Auschwitz, the work and the food. She and her husband were in the Czech Familienlager. They learned from other prisoners that people were being killed at Auschwitz but they didn't want to believe it. In March 1944 an entire transport of people was removed from the Familienlager and gassed. She talks about the orchestra in Block 6 [CLIP 3 ENDS].
FILM ID 3117 -- Camera Rolls #13-15 -- 06:00:16 to 06:33:43
[CLIP 4 BEGINS] She was transported from the Familienlager to the Frauenlager, and when she was eight months pregnant managed to survive a selection by Mengele by hiding behind other girls. She was sent to Hamburg to work cleaning debris at a bombed oil refinery. When it was discovered that she was pregnant she was sent to Ravensbrueck. She and another pregnant woman were then sent back to Auschwitz [CLIP 4 ENDS] [CLIP 5 BEGINS] but they manage to remove the yellow triangles from their clothing and pose as Czech political prisoners upon their return to the camp. The two pregnant women come to the attention of Mengele. Elias describes Mengele as an attractive and polite man, of whom she was very frightened. Once her baby girl is born he orders that her breasts be bound to prevent her from breastfeeding, so that he can see how long a baby can live without food. Her baby cried and became weaker for several days until Mengele came and told her that the next day he would come for both of them. She knew she was to be gassed [CLIP 5 ENDS].
FILM ID 3118 -- Camera Rolls #16-18 -- 07:00:10 to 07:36:56
[CLIP 6 BEGINS] A woman doctor brought her a needle filled with morphine and told her to inject the baby with it, thinking that if the baby died Elias would be allowed to live. She injected the baby and Mengele sent her on the next transport to forced labor near Leipzig. At this camp she manages to consistently steal bread for herself and the other women. In early 1945 the Lagerfuehrer discovers that she can sing and orders her to organize a variety program in order to take the Germans' minds off the constant Allied bombing. It was during the rehearsals for this program that Ruth met her current husband, Kurt Elias [CLIP 6 ENDS]. [CLIP 7 BEGINS] They were liberated by the Americans and after the war she returned to Czechoslovakia and discoverd that none of her family members survived. She went into a deep depression and spent time in a sanatorium but eventually regained the will to live. In 1965 she located the woman who saved her life, the Jewish doctor who gave her the injection for her child. She remains very close to this woman today. She says that when her first boy was born she panicked when they came to take him away, thinking they would kill him. Nobody understood or wanted to understand what the survivors had been through at that time [CLIP 7 ENDS]. She ends the interview by talking about her love for Israel.

Biography / History:
Ruth (Huppert) Elias (October 6, 1922 - October 2008) was born in Moravska Ostrava, Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic) to Fritz and Malvine Ringer Huppert.
Claude Lanzmann spent more than ten years searching for survivors, perpetrators, and eyewitnesses for his nine and a half hour film "Shoah" released in 1985. Without archival footage or dramatic enactment, "Shoah" weaves together extraordinary testimonies to render the step-by-step machinery of the destruction of European Jewry. Critics have called it "a masterpiece" and a "monument against forgetting."

Recruiting Software Builds in Social Capabilities
Over the past several months, software vendors across the industry have announced social-recruiting releases and acquisitions.
Recruiters aren't the only ones who see the business benefit of social media. Human resources software vendors are rapidly building or buying social-recruiting tools to take advantage of this burgeoning talent trend.
Over the past several months, software vendors across the industry have announced social recruiting releases and acquisitions. Among the software giants, Oracle Corp. announced plans to acquire SelectMinds, a cloud-based social recruiting system that finds talent by tapping into employee and alumni social connections; and IBM Corp. acquired Kenexa Corp., an HR software and services company that has a "candidate relationship management" tool that focuses on social recruiting.
At the same time, Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., SumTotal Systems Inc. and startup Ovation Technologies added new social-recruiting tools and features to their own offerings to help companies scan internal and external social networks for candidates, target specific candidate types in different networks, and make it easier for employees to refer candidates in their networks.
"Social recruiting has become a key part of talent management, and these tools help tie them back to the talent management process," says Ray Wang, principal analyst and CEO of Constellation Research Inc.
Normally when you search for candidates on job boards, through LinkedIn, or via employee referrals, they are disconnected recruiting steps, he says. By adding social-recruiting features to the broader talent management systems, social recruiting becomes part of the broader process.
Wang says social recruiting functionality will soon be a competitive driver for human capital management software vendors, and he encourages companies to look for the features that best meets their needs—regardless of which vendor is offering them.
"Most innovation will come from the smaller vendors, but they will be acquired by the bigger players soon enough," he says. "So don't be afraid to try someone new."

WOODSTOCK, N.Y. -- The town has received $5,000 in drug forfeiture money from the Ulster Regional Enforcement Narcotics Team.
The URGENT money, covering a seven-year period, was formally accepted during a Town Board meeting on Tuesday. Ulster County Undersheriff Frank Faluotico said at the meeting that there are restrictions about how the town can spend the money.
"What that will allow you to do is to use (the money) for police overtime for narcotic investigations and gang investigations," Faluotico said. "It cannot be intermingled with the general funds."
The undersheriff said the money should help the town acquire items not covered by the police department budget.
"This can be used for police equipment and cannot be used to offset ... your police budget," Faluotico said. "So it will allow you to get equipment that you weren't allowed to put into the budget."
County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum last month said contracts for financial settlements covering the period Jan. 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2012, had been sent to eight municipalities that provide officers to URGENT.
Other amounts were $15,000 for the town of Saugerties, $25,000 for Plattekill, $8,700 for Lloyd, $5,000 for the town of New Paltz, $5,000 for Shandaken, $5,000 for the town of Ulster and $25,000 for the city of Kingston.
The distribution of URGENT forfeiture money comes five months after county Comptroller Elliott Auerbach froze about $200,000 in task force money until an agreement could be reached with the county attorney to determine a distribution protocol for seized assets.
Auerbach noted a memorandum of understanding had called for 35 percent of seized cash assets to be used for URGENT's operating expenses and 45 percent to be distributed equally among participating municipalities but that the agreement wasn't followed.
Going forward, Faluotico said, there will be meetings about four times per year to determine further distribution of funds.
"The executive board that oversees URGENT will meet again with the towns as money comes in so we can disburse further," he said. "It will probably be yearly disbursement because we like to keep enough to keep URGENT operational as far as the 'buy' funds go ... and you can't really project that until you get into your investigations."
"Buy" funds are the amounts of money URGENT members use to make undercover drug purchases from dealers.

Next - tons of photos - what more can I say?
These three circles I appliqued onto the quilt backing before I sandwiched it all together. A simple zig-zag stitch did the trick.
The following photos I snapped yesterday on my lunch break. Its been quite dreary in Ohio this week, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to take any outdoor pics. My hands were frozen but I can deal with it.
Now listed in my Etsy shop... I'd love to add even more quilts to sell *sigh* but when? Before baby arrives, hopefully! Hmm speaking of baby, I plan on starting his quilt first thing in January!
So this was another UFO to cross of my list.... how is your list coming? Only about 3 more weeks for the "Joy in the New Year Challenge!" I think I'll get 8 out of my 9 done for sure.

Laryngitis is swelling of the voice box, including the vocal cords. Vocal cords normally create sounds by opening and closing. Swelling makes movement of the vocal cords difficult which makes you sound hoarse or prevents sounds at all.
Laryngitis is caused by irritation, overuse, or infection of the voice box.
Less often laryngitis may be caused by certain medical conditions, such as:
Factors that may increase your chance of laryngitis include:
Laryngitis may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Most laryngitis can be diagnosed by your symptoms and history. Your doctor may recommend further tests if you have:
You may be referred to a specialist, if your laryngitis does not have an easily identified cause or cure.
Your voice box may be examined with a flexible, lighted scope. Other tests may also be done to evaluate swallowing or other processes related to normal voice.
Laryngitis will often go away on its own once the underlying cause is managed. Underlying causes may require medication, treatment, or simply time.
Swelling and discomfort of the vocal cords can be managed with home care, such as:
Other steps will depend on the cause of laryngitis, for example:
Voice therapy may be needed to treat some voice problems such as regular vocal overuse or chronic laryngitis. Voice therapy consists of:

In response to
Whose SWAT was it?
The number of Sheriff's Department take-home vehicles has increased from 582 to 617 since 2011. Sheriff Gore remarked, "I know this is looked at as a benefit or a perk, but the hostage negotiator who's called out at 3 or 4 in the morning doesn't quite look at it that way." It would be interesting to know how many times the hostage negotiator has been called out after hours, how many hostage negotiators are trained, whether they provide 24/7 coverage, and whether they are paid overtime when they are called out after hours, or change their shift and clock regular time. The sheriff also notes that a San Diego officer driving a take-home car, and who had his tactical gear with him, was one of the first officers on the scene last September when two sheriff's deputies were shot in Lakeside. That officer was a San Diego police department SWAT officer, not a member of the sheriff's alternative custody unit (which monitors former inmates) or the analysis-driven law enforcement team (which investigates cyber crimes).

Who's closer?
I would ask Sheriff Gore to advise the taxpayers of San Diego County how many times in the past year the 90 employees who reside in Imperial, Riverside, or Orange counties were called out in emergency situations that required the use of county vehicles.
In most emergency situations arising within San Diego County, wouldn't employees residing within the county generally be closer to an emergency situation than would a Sheriff's Department employee residing outside our boundaries?

MALVERN Help for Heroes held a special dinner at Worcestershire Golf Club to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
The 69 guests attending included Sir Tony Baldry, MP for North Oxfordshire and his wife Lady Pippa, and Lieutenant General Timothy Evans, commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, which is based in Gloucester.
Guests were informed and entertained by three presentations on different aspects of the First World War. David Craig, who lives at Clevelode and is a regular speaker at Malvern events, talked about the outbreak of the war in political and military terms, while Patrick Kidwell from the Defence Academy spoke about the ups and downs of the British Army preparing the US Expeditionary Force for entry into the war in 1917. Then Chantel Summerfield from Malvern and in the final year of her PhD in 20th Century conflict archaeology and anthropology at the University of Bristol, gave a presentation on the use of tree carvings by WW1 veterans to represent their recollections of combat.
The dinner raised £1,740 for Help for Heroes, which will go directly to supporting the rehabilitation of injured service men and women. Organiser Tim Kidwell said: "Metcalfe catering was hugely generous in providing excellent catering at very much reduced rates while Deep Secure and QinetiQ both provided sponsorship. Worcestershire Golf Club captain Roger Brierly has adopted Help for Heroes as his charity of the year and waived the usual fees for the venue hire. Severn Printing and Helen Kidwell Graphics contributed the printing and design of the tickets and programmes."
Malvern Help for Heroes is holding its Malvern Hills Challenge on Saturday, September 13 (information at events4h4h.org.uk) and is planning another dinner next year to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

A typical 2017 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Street Rod contains many rotate kinds of information, often located in specialized parts or sections. Even unexpected 2017 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Street Rod sham several exchange operations: introducing the argument, analyzing data, raising counterarguments, concluding. Introductions and conclusions have unadulterated places, but other parts don't. Counterargument, for example, may appear within a paragraph, as a free-standing section, as allowance of the beginning, or in the past the ending. Background material (historical context or biographical information, a harley-davidson 1130 street rod vrscr usata summary of relevant theory or criticism, the definition of a key term) often appears at the coming on of the essay, amid the foundation and the first analytical section, but might also appear near the arrival of the specific section to which it's relevant.
It's long-suffering to think of the substitute 2017 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Street Rod sections as answering a series of questions your reader might ask similar to encountering your thesis. (Readers should have questions. If they don't, your thesis is most likely simply an observation of fact, not an arguable claim.)

How does the foundation of new materiala additional way of looking at the evidence, another set of sourcesaffect the harley davidson street rod custom parts claims you're making? Typically, an essay will tally at least one "how" section. (Call it "complication" previously yo u're responding to a reader's complicating questions.)

Bringing its total U.S. inventments to US$5.2-billion since 2009, Chrysler recently said its latest investment in its Toledo Machining Plant is an effort to increase manufacturing capacity.
With the boost, the plant is expected to provide enough capacity to build torque converters for the company's upcoming nine-speed transmission, according to Autoblog.
The transmission itself will be manufactured in its Kokomo, Ind., facilities, which saw a US$374-million investment announced earlier this year.
The nine-speed gearbox is expected to be in the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.

Felix allows two runs early, then fans nine in eight
Ace reaches 11 wins before the break for the first time in his career
SEATTLE -- After the A's proved Felix Hernandez was human in the first inning Friday night, the Mariners ace went about proving he's also one of the best pitchers on the planet these days as Seattle topped Oakland, 3-2, at Safeco Field.
Hernandez reached 11 wins before the All-Star break for the first time in his 10-year career and seems a strong bet to be named the American League starter in Tuesday's Midsummer Classic after finishing up his first half with an 11-2 record and 2.12 ERA.
"That would be an honor," acknowledged the five-time All-Star. "I would love to do it. We'll see."
After giving up a pair of runs in the first, Hernandez slammed the door on the division-rival A's as the Mariners snapped a three-game losing streak while handing Oakland starter Jeff Samardzija his first loss with his new club.
"Felix did a great job of limiting the damage that first inning and keeping it that way throughout the whole game," said catcher Mike Zunino. "It just shows what type of pitcher he is. He hits a little bump in the road and just turns it up another gear."
Robinson Cano drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth with an RBI double after Seattle slowly crawled back from its early deficit.
"This is one of those games, especially with that kind of crowd tonight, you want to come through in that situation," Cano said. "You want to be able to show the fans you're here ready to play and you want to win."
Hernandez wound up with just the two runs on six hits over eight innings, with two walks and nine strikeouts. He has now pitched 11 straight games of seven-plus innings with two or fewer runs, the longest such streak by an American League pitcher since Gaylord Perry did the same in 1974.
The Mariners improved to 50-43, eight games back of Oakland in the American League West, but a game and a half ahead of Toronto in positioning for the final Wild Card spot. It's the fifth time in franchise history the Mariners have reached 50 wins by the All-Star break and first since 2003.
On a night the usual King's Court in left field was expanded to include a "High Court" with a large section of upper-deck fans joining in Hernandez's yellow-clad cheering section, Hernandez gave up a first-inning home run to Stephen Vogt and an RBI single to Jed Lowrie.
"After that, I was locked in," Hernandez said. "I threw a lot of strikes and my fastball was pretty good. The crowd was unbelievable, so that was exciting. It was awesome. I loved it. It should be like that every day."
The home run was just the second long ball the Mariners ace has surrendered in his last 15 starts and just the sixth (out of 150 home runs) in his career on an 0-2 count. But after giving up two more singles and a run that inning, Hernandez buckled down against the team with the best record in the Majors at 58-35.
"I think what Felix did today spoke to how he's been able to pitch and adjust all year," Zunino said after the A's came out aggressive early. "We obviously knew we'd have to throw the offspeed and changeup a little more, just to have them take a pitch. He was able to do that and work ahead. He was able to throw those pitches for strikes and I think that was the key. And he was able to keep the fastball down and get some quick outs."
Logan Morrison got a run back for Seattle with a leadoff home run in the second, Endy Chavez tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the third and the Mariners took the lead at 3-2 on back-to-back doubles by James Jones and Cano in the sixth.
Cano's double just inside the left-field line was just Seattle's third hit with a runner in scoring position in its last 36 at-bats, dating back to July 5.
"We've hit a lot of balls hard that didn't find holes," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "It nice to see one of those fall in. We're certainly due for a few of those."
Hernandez's 2.12 ERA breaks Randy Johnson's club record of 2.20, set in 1997, for the lowest mark by a starter at the All-Star break. Over his last 11 starts, Hernandez has gone 7-1 with a 1.48 ERA.
Closer Fernando Rodney came on for the ninth and picked up his league-leading 27th save, though he had to strand Derek Norris at third base for the final out on a high, called third strike to Nick Punto.
Punto slammed down his helmet and was ejected, as was A's manager Bob Melvin as the crowd of 32,971 celebrated.
Rodney had no doubt that he'd nailed Punto with his full-count, 96 mph fastball.
"All my pitches are strikes," said Rodney.

HARRISBURG – It used to be that the names of the finalists for the highest-paid job in Pennsylvania state government – chancellor of the State System of Higher Education – were made public.
Not anymore.
In the coming days, the board of the 14-university system is expected to announce its pick for the next chancellor after keeping the names of three finalists a secret.
Such secrecy is said to be an emerging trend in searches for executives in higher education as would-be candidates might fear reprisal if their current employer found out that they were job hunting.
So, on Jan. 11, the state system's board member met and voted unanimously to make the entire search process confidential. The search is supposed to bar contact with a candidate's current employer to ensure that confidentiality – except, it seems, in the case of one candidate.
One of the board members voting for that policy was Gov. Tom Corbett's then-secretary of education, Ronald Tomalis, who also apparently is a finalist in a process in which Corbett has substantial input.
Since the Patriot-News of Harrisburg first reported it July 25, citing people speaking anonymously, nobody – not Tomalis, Corbett or state system officials – has disputed it. Tomalis on Friday turned down requests from the Associated Press to discuss it.
Tomalis' last day as Corbett's education secretary was May 31. By law, the secretary of education sits on the state system's board. At the time, Tomalis turned down interviews to explain why he was leaving the post, but he kept the nearly $150,000-a-year salary to take a newly created post as an adviser on higher education issues to Corbett, a Republican.
If Tomalis is hired as chancellor, it would represent a departure from the first three chancellors of the 31-year-old state system. All three – James McCormick, Judith Hample and John Cavanaugh – had a background in university administration and a doctoral degree. Tomalis, 51, has a bachelor's degree and no background in university administration, but for much of the last 18 years he has held top-level positions in both the federal and state Departments of Education.
Pennsylvania's state system, with about 115,000 students, is the nation's 13th-largest public university system. The previous chancellor, Cavanaugh, left in February. At the time his salary was $327,500.
A spokesman for the state system, Kenn Marshall, said Friday that he expects the selection to be made at a yet-to-be-announced public meeting, perhaps in the next two weeks.
Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat, is among those calling for the names of the finalists to be made public before then.
So far, the search committee has shared the secret of who the finalists are among the 17 state system board members. The members include four state lawmakers, Corbett, his new education secretary and 11 gubernatorial appointments, including five who were last appointed by Corbett's Democratic predecessor, Ed Rendell.
In addition to Corbett and the trustees, others were offered the opportunity in late July to meet with the three finalists: leaders of the unions that represent university employees, university presidents, representatives of state system university trustee councils and a handful of "business and community leaders," Marshall said.
Marshall said he was unable to immediately identify them, but one person contacted by the Associated Press confirmed meeting with the finalists. David Patti, the president and CEO of the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Business Council, said those who were there signed confidentiality agreements.
"We can't talk about anything," said Patti, who has been a supporter of Corbett's.
In recent years, some of the nation's largest public university systems, such as in New York and North Carolina, did not announce finalists before their boards approved a candidate. Others, such as California, Texas and Georgia, announced a sole finalist a week or two before the candidate was approved.
In 2011, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities announced two finalists two days before selecting one. Also in 2011, the University of Maine System announced four finalists two months before picking one.
Michael Poliakoff, the vice president of policy for the Washington, D.C.-based American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a group that pushes for strong trustee leadership, said the secrecy may be appropriate in some circumstances that encourage thinking outside the box.
"But it is something that institutions need to watch carefully," Poliakoff said, "especially public institutions that need to benefit from robust public input."

Better than Ephedrine + Caffeine!
Yes, theres a supplement thats even better than caffeine plus ephedrine! And you dont have to wait years while scientists tinker with it. Why? Because you can buy it now! Supposedly, there is no better thermogenic than the vaunted combination of ephedrine plus caffeine. Heck, ephedrine and caffeine is up there with the best duos including Batman and Robin, Sonny and Cher, The Green Hornet and Kato, and well, you get the picture.
Whats the supplement that burns fat faster than an ice cube melts in the Sahara? Meltdown® mi amigo! In a study presented at the June 2008 International Society of Sports Nutrition Conference in the beautiful Red Rock Hotel, researchers discovered that this fat-blasting supplement jacked up metabolic rate so much so that it left scientists scratching their heads as to how it compared to other popular thermogenics (see graph). And in fact, what theyve found is that Meltdown is over 300% better than ephedrine and 67% better than the caffeine plus ephedrine combo when it comes to a thermogenic effect! Thats a finding of tsunamic proportions.1
What does this mean? Think about it. If you take Meltdown before training, your metabolic rate will go through the roof faster than Anderson Silva can put you in an arm bar! Youll lose fat faster and youll get that lean physique youve always wanted.
The R & D group at VPX has more ground-breaking science coming down the pike this year. So buckle your chinstraps and get ready for the ride of your thermogenic life!

Thermogenic effect of an acute ingestion of a weight loss supplement.
Hoffman JR, Kang J, Ratamess NA, Rashti S, Tranchina C, Kelly N, and Faigenbaum AD. Department of Health and Exercise Science, The College of New Jersey, Ewing, NJ 08628-0718, USA. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effect of a weight loss supplement on resting oxygen uptake (VO2), respiratory quotient (RQ), caloric expenditure (kcal), heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP) in healthy and physically active individuals.
Ten subjects (5 male, 5 female; 20.2 ± 1.2y; 172.2 ± 8.9 cm; 71.5 ± 17.2 kg; 17.3 ± 2.6% body fat) underwent two testing sessions administered in a randomized and double-blind fashion. During each session, subjects reported to the Human Performance Laboratory after at least 3-h post-absorptive state and were provided either 3 capsules of the weight loss supplement (S), commercially marketed as Meltdown® or 3 capsules of a placebo (P). Subjects then rested in a semi-recumbent position for three hours. VO2 and HR were determined every 5 min during the first 30 min and every 10 min during the next 150 min. BP was determined every 15 min during the first 30 min and every 30 min thereafter. The profile of mood states was determined every 30 minutes. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis was computed for VO2, whereas a 3 hour average and an average for each hour was calculated for RQ, kcal from carbohydrate, kcal from fat, total kcal, HR and BP.
AUC analysis revealed a significant 28.9% difference in VO2 between S and P for the three hour study period. In addition, a significant difference in energy expenditure was also seen between S (1.28 ± 0.33 kcal?min-1) and P (1.00 ± 0.32 kcal?min-1) during the entire three hour study. A trend (p = 0.06) towards a greater utilization of stored fat as an energy source was also demonstrated (0.78 ± 0.23 kcal?min-1 and 0.50 ± 0.38 kcal?min-1 in S and P, respectively). Significant elevations in heart rate were seen during hour 3 of the study, and significantly higher systolic blood pressures were observed between S (118.0 ± 7.3 mmHg) and P (111.4 ± 8.2 mmHg). No significant differences were seen in diastolic blood pressure at any time point. Analysis of mood states indicated a significant increase in tension during the supplement period compared to placebo.
Results indicate a significant increase in energy expenditure in young, healthy individuals following an acute ingestion of a weight loss supplement. In addition, ingestion of this supplement appears to stimulate increases in heart rate and blood pressure for three hours following ingestion.

Volstad aims to contribute as reliever
SALT LAKE CITY -- The lack of willingness to attack the strike zone with his power sinker was a criticism of right-handed pitcher Chris Volstad as he pitched below his potential as a starter with the Marlins and Cubs. But it appears the Rockies' decision to move him to the bullpen has enhanced him.
Volstad signed a Minor League contract with the Rockies to compete for a starting rotation spot, but was converted to relief at mid-camp.
"He really embraced it," Weiss said. "I wouldn't say he transformed himself, but he changed his approach and geared it toward that role, did everything we asked of him.
"I think he feels a lot more comfortable in that role. You've seen his velocity go up. You've seen him attack hitters, throw that hard two-seamer at the bottom of the zone. He did everything we asked of him. It was nice telling him he made our club."
Volstad joins right-handers Adam Ottavino and Edmer Escalona in a three-man middle relief rotation. Those pitchers will work on a rotation and will be responsible for getting the game to the back end of the bullpen. It's the positive that came out of last year's four-man rotation experiment. Those relievers, known back then as "piggy-backers," pitched well, especially Ottavino (5-1, 4.56 ERA in 53 games).
"Ottavino's a big-arm guy, his stuff is real good. He's got to be in good counts, like everybody else," Weiss said. "He's had success for us out of the bullpen before. Escalona is another big-arm guy that's got electric stuff. Those guys are going to be important for us to bridge that gap between starter and back end of the bullpen. I feel good about handing the ball off to those guys."
