Though he honed his artistic skills in traditional media, Church currently does almost all of his artwork digitally: "I do keep a sketchbook though and I'd love to get back into traditional media for personal projects (when there's more time!). For me digital artwork is faster and much more flexible and allows you to be far more experimental with illustrations. You almost never have to fight the media like you do with traditional paintings. Sitting at a fast computer with a large monitor and a large tablet running a good program is as close as I've ever gotten to the seamless transmission of my mind's idea to the page."
Church admits that digital media does have its drawbacks: "I doubt the computer will ever have the ability or finesse to truly capture some of the specific joys of traditional painting: the feel of brush on canvas, stuff like that. Printing and display technology can't quite generate a permanent and substantial finished product yet, compared to a nicely framed large oil painting. But a different kind of joy comes from the ability to so quickly and limitlessly create on the computer."
"It's really important to remember that a computer is just another tool for creating images", adds Church. "It won't help you be a better painter, although it can get you there quicker. Drawing and painting skills are learned through tons of practice. A knowledge of perspective, composition, color, and material indication are essential for any artist no matter what tools they use."
Church is passionate about the industry he is a part of: "This is a great industry to be in. It continues to grow and reward those with talent and good ideas. One of the great things about it is that it's so competitive, with many great ways to do things and create images. The advice I always give is to practice all the time, learn the fundamentals, and recognize your bad habits or weaknesses and try and address them as soon as possible. There's so much great artwork out there it's easy to judge your skill level."
Church in conjunction with The Gnomon Workshop will release a series of five training DVDs in January 2004. Each of the DVDs will have two hours of real-time demonstration and discussion of techniques that Church developed and uses on the job on a daily basis, from setting up the digital workspace to design, composition, perspective, drama, and everything else that goes into the creation of a production illustration. "The lessons show how to bring traditional skills to the computer as well as lots of methods to exploit the tremendous advantages of working digitally", adds Church. "They are for anyone who wants to learn the way I work and to gain insight into the process."

Blimpcity (Top Right): "This personal piece is an example of a typical 'establishing shot' type of painting that is meant to show off a designed environment. Putting a vehicle in there adds some context and serves as a center of interest. I guess it's kind of the point of the painting, too. It's getting tougher to come up with fresh concepts for cityscapes, so in this case I started with the idea of 'upside down architecture' and ran with it which results in a fresh if not very realistic idea. It's suitable for a movie reality and it's an environment with plenty of built in dramatic potential. It's definitely an idea I intend to explore more fully in future illustrations."

Photography showcase to be on display at Peters Twp. Library
Once again, the Peters Township Public Library will be the venue used to display the photography gallery produced by media class members to display their photos.
Partnered with the library and Margaret Deitzer, head of the reference department, the photography classes at Peters Township High School will assemble the showcase Feb. 21 in time for the open house that night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the lobby of the Peters Township Public Library. The display will last through March 7 when the photographs are taken down after school.
Erin Boni, a high school media teacher, said about 100 students are taking part in the showcase this year. The word showcase was chosen because none of the photos will be offered for sale, and no prizes will be awarded to the students.
Holding the showcase at the library is a great place to display the pictures, Boni said.
Most of the photographs, all taken by the high school students, will be in the lobby, with some hanging on the stairway.
"It's a great space for us so we can leave it up and it won't be destroyed, like it could be in the school," Boni said. "People go to the library and they like to look around and observe. It's really a great partnership."
This is the seventh year the photo gallery has been display in the library, Boni said.
Pier Lee, library director, said the photography showcase is a good mix for the library and the school.
"The library is, as we are all aware, is not just books," Lee said. "A community partnership is very, very important for the library today. We sponsor a lot of things."
The display used to be held at the end of May, but was moved to the end of February when there is less competition for time.
Six officers in the Photography Club picked the pictures to be displayed.

Changes to two additional construction phases of a Canton Township residential development came before the township planning commission Wednesday night.
Developer Angelo Quarture presented the revised plans to the commission and addressed concerns from residents of Brick Ridge Estates.
Currently, there are 16 residential units, a combination of single-family homes and duplexes, in the housing development off Jefferson Avenue. Quarture purchased the property from Mike Williamson, who developed the first phase.
Quarture wants to build 10 structures that would contain four units each instead of the single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes previously approved for another 12 acres.
The other change he is requesting is permission to build a second entrance to the property. Residents were in favor of the second entrance but opposed to having the four-unit structures.
Commission member Del Walker could not recall that triplexes were approved by the township when the development was first proposed in 2006 by Williamson.
Engineer James Harshman noted the township's ordinance for a planned unit residential development, or PURD, does allow for up to three units but questioned if those could be added now.
Walker's motion to decline Quarture's application because it violates the sales agreement with Williamson did not pass. Chairwoman Helena Brand and member Blair Stoker said they want to first have Harshman complete his review of the application.
Others questioned if the number of units would bring their property values down.
"What I'm offering is to finish the development, landscape it, add infrastructure and put equity in Canton Township to do more parks and more development and fix what looks like a failed development," Quarture said. "It doesn't make sense to me how you think a finished development is going to devalue your homes."
Quarture said the brick units will sell for between $225,000 and $275,000. Existing units have sold between $197,000 and $318,000.
Harshman recommended Quarture come to the next meeting with the support of the existing homeowners "because it takes a lot of the issues off the table."
The PURD was the subject of a conditional-use hearing before the board of supervisors which was continued to Tuesday.

CORAOPOLIS – With a sparkling 90-7 career record coming into Saturday's Section 4-AAA Individual Wrestling Tournament, Canon-McMillan's Solomon Chishko is accustomed to having his hand raised at the end of matches.
But few of those victories have felt as good as the three Chishsko registered here at Moon High School.
The wins were the first of his junior season for Chishko, a talented 145-pounder, as he missed more than three months of action after suffering a fractured elbow just prior to the start of the high school season.
"It feels good after sitting out the whole season," Chishko said after winning the 145-pound championship with a pin of West Allegheny's Nathan Hall in the final.
"I'm a little tired right now. I'm not used to it after cutting weight, but I'll get used it."
According to Chishko, he got as heavy as 168 pounds during his inactivity, forcing him to not only work on rehabbing his right elbow, but also to start working hard to cut the weight once he knew he was close to returning to the mat.
"I got pretty fat," said Chishko, a returning WPIAL champion and third-place PIAA placewinner.
"My grandma was feeding me a lot of food. So I had to strip that fat off in a short period of time."
He didn't show any ill effects Saturday, pinning Chartiers Valley's Regan Smith in his first match, dispatching Waynesburg's Shane Piper, 16-6, in his second, and handing Hall just his second loss of the season in the final.
Chishko admitted to being a little nervous heading into the day.
"There's always a little bit of that," he said. "I'm not where I'd be if I had been wrestling all season. But I still feel pretty confident in myself."
That confidence won't be hurt by what he did in this tournament.
"Those were good kids he beat," said Canon-McMillan coach Chris Mary, who was named Section 4-AAA Coach of the Year for the 12th consecutive time. "But he's just such a smart wrestler.
"He looked comfortable and powerful out there. We'll keep working to prepare him to get ready for Thursday."
That day is when the WPIAL Championships begin at Norwin High School, where Chishko figures to be the top seed at 145 pounds, despite his 3-0 record.
The thought of another WPIAL title and making a run at a PIAA championship – he's finished third twice – fueled Chishko's return. Along the way, it was difficult watching his teammates roll to a fourth consecutive WPIAL team championship and second straight PIAA team title.
"I was really nervous," Chishko admitted. "I didn't want to be the reason why we lost. It's a team thing. But they pulled it off. It turned out OK."
The section tournament turned out OK for the Big Macs as well.
Canon-McMillan had nine individual champions and will send 12 wrestlers to the WPIAL tournament. The top five placewinners here advanced.
"We had nine champs out of 11 that wrestled in the finals," said Mary. "I couldn't ask for more than that. They've still got that fire, even after a state championship."
Joining Chishko at the top of the awards podium were teammates Brendan Price (106), Dalton Macri (120), Connor Schram (126), William Pihiou (152), Sammy Minor (160), Cody Wiercioch (170), Alex Campbell (220) and Angelo Broglia (heavyweight).
They were joined by A.C. Headlee of Waynesburg (113), Hopewell's Filippo Crivelli (132), Chartiers Valley's Clayton Sakel (138) and McGuffey's Brent Blacharzyk (182) and Zac Herrle (195) as individual champions.
Waynesburg finished with nine WPIAL qualifiers, Trinity eight and McGuffey six.

I'm interested, but the plot synopsis parallels the anime Gunbuster, which I've grown up with. So, I'm not thinking that this story is going to be anything groundbreaking
Here's a more thorough synopsis write up, courtesy of Badass Digest (that first word will probably be bleeped out on these boards):
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankinds last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Oscar® nominee Guillermo del Toro (Pans Labyrinth) is directing Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham (Clash of the Titans). Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TVs Sons of Anarchy), Idris Elba (Thor), Rinko Kikuchi (The Brothers Bloom), Charlie Day (Horrible Bosses), and Ron Perlman (the Hellboy films). The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.

Young and cynical
Zane Fischer's column, "Who sets the table?", strongly resonated with me—particularly his desire to see young, creative types call Santa Fe home. I am 26. In 2007, I studied screenwriting at the New Mexico Filmmakers Intensive, which was held at the College of Santa Fe.
The year I spent at NMFI was fascinating. It was a magnet for creatively vigorous people focusing on the art of cinema—exactly the kind of thing I want to be around. And now what is it? A Facebook group where we can keep in touch. It seems strange to me that nobody in Santa Fe or the state government is willing to make a substantive financial commitment to keeping a vibrant art school alive in a town that bills itself as artsy.
I'm too cynical to be disgusted by all of this. Spineless ineptitude is what I've come to expect from leaders; CSF's implosion seems to prove a sad rule.
I'll be moving away shortly to pursue an MFA in screenwriting from a major film school. It's an idea that would never have crossed my mind had it not been for CSF and its NMFI affiliate.

Badda bing
It's very important to make a clear distinction between the duties of commissioned art and the duties of those who commission it. It's never been the responsibility of any artist entering a commercial design contest to design around a marketing message that hasn't first been meticulously considered, crafted, then totally supported by the jurying committee responsible for the commission. If the design submissions for the City of Santa Fe poster contest were off the mark, expected, boring or lacked vision, the fault ultimately lies not with the submissions but with The Santa Fe Arts Commission.
Artists somehow always end up getting the fuzzy end of the paintbrush. When they create a successful image for a commercial purpose, the public is traditionally polite but passive. After all, all those successful creative solutions out there on billboards, in stores, on the web, everywhere are so darn simple, eh? But miss the mark or design around misguided marketing direction and badda bing, suddenly everyone becomes Tony Soprano, the art critic…ready to crank up the Uzi and let 'er rip. Hey, everyone knows it's a no-brainer how to make something more communicative. More hip. More real. More Santa Fe. You know, "Better!" Right?
I get that the focus of your critique was directed not just at the artists, but at the "predictability" and "blandness" of the Arts Commission's choices. I would have appreciated your article far more, however, if you had, well…put a dab of your own creativity where your mouth is. You know, a counter-blandness suggestion or two. I don't believe that anyone has the moral prerogative to criticize anything "creative" in the commercial arena unless [he/she] can offer up a better alternative. No one. Ever. Take a shot. If it's not one of the hardest things you've ever done, I owe you dinner.
How about another article studded with marketing gems that'll help guide the Arts Commission and future poster entrants toward making Santa Fe the hottest, coolest 21st Century destination ever. Ka-ching!

I want to thank the Native Americans behind the plan to rid Santa Fe of the blight of trees at the Indian School that had blocked out the sky for so long. It's now a pleasure to drive along Cerrillos and be able to see the sun and the mountains where previously only leaves and limbs, spewing their toxins into the air, had been. And not to be accused of half measures, you didn't leave one of those suckers standing.
It was very courageous of you not to get into a debate with the other members of the community who may not have had the foresight to see the danger posed to future generations.
I'm sure you'll be equally as caring when it comes to the dust the wind is sure to whip up from the property and pave over the entire area so that not so much as a speck of dirt escapes.
Clearly Santa Fe will be greatly enhanced by the museums, concert halls and theaters you will no doubt be constructing to better the cultural and spiritual life of our shared city.

If you are looking for specific information about hysterectomy in Elizabeth, NJ, this page will provide added resources for your quest. Read on for specific local information about hysterectomy, surgery options, doctors, hospitals, patient testimonies and more from HysterSisters.com members.
What is a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, otherwise known as the womb. Rarely is a hysterectomy an emergency surgery. There is usually considerable time to research and explore options for discussions with your personal surgeon.
Read more about hysterectomy.
Most importantly, if you have been told you need a hysterectomy and you have explored the alternative treatments for your diagnosis, there is important information you need to know.
Different types of hysterectomy are tailored to a specific set of health needs and surgeon skills. With today's advancing technology and experienced surgeons, most women are candidates for minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery typically allows for faster recovery and fewer complications. Vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, and robotic hysterectomy are examples of minimally invasive hysterectomy options.
Ask your surgeon: Am I a candidate for minimally invasive hysterectomy? If the answer is no, ask "Why not?". Seek a second opinion of a specialized GYN surgeon for additional surgery options.
Read more about the different hysterectomy types:
Vaginal Hysterectomy
Laparscopic Hysterectomy
da Vinci¨ Hysterectomy
LESS Hysterectomy
Open Incision - Abdominal Hysterectomy
HysterSisters recommends that you get more than one opinion when your doctor suggests a hysterectomy. You may have a trustful long-standing history with your doctor and feel horrified that we suggest such a thing! This isn't a slap in the face for your personal physician but a smart thing for every patient to do.
Set up an appointment with a different surgeon in a different practice and even perhaps in a different town. Take your records with you but also ask for an exam. Ask if the first recommendation is appropriate. Ask for alternative suggestions.
Get a third opinion. You might find the third suggests an even less invasive solution or an alternative treatment to completely avoid surgery.
The key is for you, the patient, to get all the information you can before you agree to surgery. You cannot change your mind once the surgery is done. There are no money back guarantees if the surgery is not the cure for your problem. Be smart. Do your homework.
Read more about getting a second opinion: Give Me A Second.

Medium Wavy Casual Hairstyle - Dark Brunette (Auburn) Hair Color
Description(Added: 10th May 2012 )
- Hair Category: Casual
- Hair Length: Medium
- Hair Elasticity: Wavy
- Gender: Women
- Face Shape: Oval, Oblong, Square, and Diamond
- Hair Density: Thin/Medium
- Hair Texture: Fine/Medium
- Age: Under 21, 21 - 30, 31 - 40, 41 - 50, and 51 - 60
- Height: Any
- Weight: Thin/Average/Large
- Glasses: Without glasses suits best
- Styling Time: 30 minutes
- Products: Mousse, Wax, Smoothing Shine, and Hair Spray
- Styling Tip: Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce fly-aways.
Styling Steps
1 . Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
2 . Scrunch Dry Hair with a Blow-dryer and Fingers
Use your hand to scrunch the hair as you blow-dry. Remember to keep the blow-dryer on a low speed and heat setting and to leave some moisture in your hair.
3 . Use a Large Curling Iron
A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.
4 . Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron
Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
5 . Piece the Ends Using Wax
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
6 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
7 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

Camshafts, Rocker Arms & Valve TrainThe Mustang camshaft is one of the most important components of the engine. In fact, some have referred to the Mustang camshaft as the mechanical computer in the engine, since it controls the valve in the Mustang intake manifold and exhaust valves. The Mustang camshaft is responsible for telling these valves when to open, how long to stay open, how far to stay open, when to close and how fast to close, making the Mustang camshaft vital to the functionality and performance of the Mustang engine.
Because the Mustang camshaft controls those valves, which control the flow of air and fuel to your engine, it's very important that your Mustang camshaft is working and timed properly so the valves are opening and closing at the right point in the stroke of the piston. To help manage the timing, every Mustang camshaft is attached to the Mustang crankshaft, either directly through gears, or indirectly via the timing belt or chain, so it's timing is correct every time.
Because of the variety of Mustang engines, there are many different Mustang camshaft options available. Originally, through 1996, the Mustang came with a single Mustang camshaft in each of the overhead valve (OHV) engines available. In 1996, the new 4.6L V8 was introduced, which started as a single overhead camshaft (SOHC) system, then was expanded to dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) in 2005. The new Coyote 5.0 V8 maintains this Mustang camshaft configuration. For 'V' configuration engines, each engine with a SOHC setup will have two camshafts, one per cylinder bank, and DOHC engines will have four camshafts, two per cylinder bank.
Replacing a Mustang camshaft isn't for the feint of heart, and should only be done by an expert in automotive repair. However, CJ Pony Parts sells many options for replacing or upgrading your Mustang camshaft and can even install it for you at CJ Pony Service.

I struggled to tie my shoes as a kid but it really is an important skill to learn. This article is one of the best "how to" articles I have found.
I'm glad to see some reporting on the biological effects on individuals especially students in school. There is substantial evidence of serious harm from radiation emanating from routers and other devices; business appears only interested in marketing these devices for schools but has been negligent as far as safety or even educational value. Currently, there is a ballot initiative (current petition 15-33) to create an expert commission to evaluate and address health and safety risks--this needs support to move forward (see www.meetup.com/healove). The site had additional materials available to help address the issue.
Dr Karl Maret discusses the health risks of Wi-Fi exposure in schools (a radiation monitor worn by an electrohypersensitive child showed he was overexposed in school): https://vimeo.com/132039697
Thank you, Mr. Spero and Ms. Rees for this article! Ashland Public Schools has adopted Best Practices for Mobile Devices to start putting distance between students/staff and the devices/routers/access points in our schools. Senator Karen Spilka has introduced MA S.1222: An Act creating a special commission to study the health impacts of electromagnetic fields. While it may take a while for an outcome from the State, there is much you can do to keep your loved ones safe right now as Ms. Rees explains. I have taken those precautions myself in our home to limit radiation exposure. Those wishing to know more are welcome to look at the in-depth research I've gathered: https://sites.google.com/site/understandingemfs/home. Thank you!

Merry Xmas, Give Me Some Money: In what may be a case of fiscally responsible fiscal irresponsibility, the City of Santa Fe's annual employee holiday party will be held this year at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, approximately 14 miles north of City Hall. The city's Employee Benefits Committee made the decision.
Santa Fe City Councilor Miguel Chavez raised concerns about the choice of venue at an Oct. 5 meeting of the Finance Committee. Chavez suggested the new Santa Fe Community Convention Center—which the city bankrolled and is far from breaking even on—might have been a better choice.
Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive Director Keith Toler tells SFR the Employee Benefits Committee did approach him about using the convention center for the party, but decided to go for the casino for reasons that remain somewhat mysterious. "We offered them use of the convention center at no charge, but they still said it was less expensive for them to use Buffalo Thunder," Toler tells SFR. "I think the [Santa Fe] County and police Christmas party is also that night, so there's an economy of scale."
SFR was unable to reach anyone from the Employee Benefits Committee by presstime.
Party's Over: As reported last week by The Santa Fe New Mexican, the board of the nonprofit organization Santa Fe City Councilors charged with organizing the 400th anniversary celebrations laid off its executive director, Libby Dover, and other employees in an effort to trim overhead. The news came days after SFR reported on its blog, in a post that drew mild outrage, that Dover made a whopping $10,000 a month.
Writer Gregory Pleshaw commented: "[T]he entire operation was blue smoke and mirrors from the get go." Artist Joan Fenicle wrote, "People are living on the streets…Santa Fe really has become the city indifferent."
Police Enforce Law: After SFR pointed out a pattern in which local police failed to enforce orders of protection against domestic abusers, Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano said he had tightened his office policies and reminded his officers to make the effort to actually arrest domestic violence offenders when the law requires it.
Several recent arrest reports suggest Solano and his officers are making good on that pledge. For instance, after a woman called police to say she found her ex-boyfriend, Jesus Compos-Perez, sleeping at her place despite her having obtained a court protection order, he allegedly threatened "to come back with a gun to kill her" and fled on foot. According to his Oct. 18 report, Deputy Nathan Segura quickly tracked down Compos-Perez and took him to jail after he admitted to having been at his ex-girlfriend's place.

USC announces 16 retirements at the end of the school year
Upper St. Clair School District Superintendent Patrick O'Toole said that the district may save more than $750,000 through the retirement this year of 15 teachers and one principal, but it will make a significant impact on the culture of the district due to the loss of many long term employees.
"There are a significant number of retirements of very significant people," he told the school board March 11, when the school board got its first public look at projected numbers for the 2013-14 budget. Boyce Middle School Principal Karen Brown will retire at the end of this school year.
O'Toole said last month that administrators negotiated with the unions to extend the deadline to announce retirement plans from Feb. 1 to March 1. The extension was arranged because the state's retirement plan board recently announced a change in the calculations for retirement payments for employees electing spousal benefits that will reduce monthly payments between $100-200. O'Toole said this would require more consideration from employees, and he did not feel they had adequate warning to make the decision by Feb. 1.
The 16 pending retirements would save the district an average of $50,000 each.
O'Toole said at this point in the budget process, they are planning to replace all 16 employees, but he said they will be looking at reconfiguring teaching assignments in order to potentially not replace all the positions and realize more savings.
A chart was shown indicating three retirements at the high school, two at Fort Couch Middle School, three at Boyce Middle School, four at Eisenhower Elementary, one at Baker Elementary and two at Streams Elementary.
Frosina Cordisco, director of business and finance, showed the school board a proposed 2013-14 budget totalling $66,313,986. This budget shows a shortfall of $1,991,674.
Cordisco said that the board planned for a two-year cycle last year by raising taxes by 1.618 mills after receiving exceptions from the state to raise taxes higher than the inflation rate for 2012-13. This means that a projected surplus of $1,773,075 in the 2012-13 budget can be used to offset the deficit for the next budget year – which leaves a combined shortfall of $218,599 for 2013-14 the budget.
O'Toole said savings from the refinancing of up to $12 million in 2007 bonds that was approved by the board Feb. 25 could be used for some capital expenses anticipated in the 2013-14 budget, thus addressing the shortfall. The district is expected to save more than $900,000 through the refinancing, which is expected to take place in April.
"We're trying to get that $218,599 erased," he said. "There are a lot of things impacting our budget. We're trying to put the airplane together while it is flying."
"The federal sequestration thing is anybody's guess," O'Toole continued. "I hear better news from Harrisburg than I do from Washington."
Cordisco is currently planning on nearly half a million dollars less in federal funding in the 2013-14 budget due to the sequestration law that has taken effect.
She said the district may see a $100,000 reduction in a federal repayment of bond interest as soon as next month, unless there is action taken to reverse the current law automatically reducing federal spending.
Cordisco said the district is hoping the board will approve a proposed final budget for 2013-14 at its April 22 meeting, and a final budget at the May 28 meeting.
This is a month ahead of deadlines set by the state for adoption of the proposed and final budgets. The state requires the proposed final budget to be adopted by May 31 and the final budget be adopted by June 30.
In other business March 11, the board heard a report from David McLean, of Graves and McLean Architects, regarding the status of the district's application for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver designation for the district's two middle school renovation projects. He said certification for Boyce Middle School could come as early as August 2013 – the design submission process is complete and the construction submission is underway. Certification for Fort Couch Middle School could come as early as October 2013. McLean said the design submission process is "in process" and the construction submission process is pending.

I get paid to cover high school basketball – go to games, keep stats, interview people, write stories, the whole deal. It's one heck of a gig, too.
Especially now because I sure wouldn't want to make sense of this mess, to be a WPIAL official and have to seed teams based on what has transpired over the past few months.
Or, put another way, to separate a bunch of teams that have yet to separate themselves.
The WPIAL Basketball Tournament Pairings Meeting will be held tonight at the Green Tree DoubleTree, and I doubt it will be as eventful as the football draw, where South Fayette, Washington and Monessen were rewarded with favorable seeds.
Not that we care any less, though, right?
With that in mind, let's take a look at what to expect, starting with the boys bracket.
Canon-McMillan punched its ticket with a win over Peters Township Friday night. The Big Macs finished 6-8 in Section 4-AAAA, one of four of our boys basketball teams to make the tournament despite a losing section record.
Beth-Center and Jefferson-Morgan, both 6-8, made it. So did 3-7 Mapletown.
The Big Macs will be seeded somewhere between 13th and 16th, meaning a first-round matchup with someone like New Castle, Central Catholic or Upper St. Clair.
OK, that sounds less fun than putting together brackets.
I like South Fayette in Class AAA for this reason: The Lions have gone out and played people. An ugly win-loss record? Maybe. But it'll pay off here.
At Montour last week, I watched a fan come up to a South Fayette assistant and compliment him on how the Lions play – and for good reason.
Balanced South Fayette has three scorers in Evan Bonnaure, C.J. Rudisill and Zach Challingsworth. All can shoot from the outside. Nice mix of driving and rebounding, too.
Last year, the Lions were upset in the first round, but I think this year might be different. They'll be a scary No. 7-10 seed.
What to make of Wash High, California and Charleroi, our top Class AA teams?
With a 67-43 win at South Fayette Jan. 28, Wash High proved it could play with anyone. And with losses to Perry and Burgettstown, as well as a near-loss to Peters Township's backups, the Prexies just might lose to anyone, too.
Dupree Jenkins has given Wash High some added offense, around nine points per game. And they'll need it – as well as strong post play from Jordan Drew and Rikwon Moore – to make a run.
California has a pair of veteran guards in Tanner Huffman and Brian Fisher – never a bad thing this time of year – but the non-section slate was soft: wins over Chartiers-Houston, Mapletown and Belle Vernon, three teams with a combined record of 15-48. Losses were at Monessen and Steel Valley. Still, the Trojans will nab the fourth, fifth or sixth seed. What they do with it? Great question.
Charleroi and Brownsville, the two teams below California in Section 5-AA, could surprise some people as lower seeds.
Monessen, which finished 7-3 in Section 3-A, might get a relatively favorable seed, based on the Greyhounds' past success. Carmichaels will be around 12th, 13th or 14th, while Mapletown figures to engage in a heated battle for the No. 16 seed – with 3-7 Rochester, 4-6 Quigley Catholic and 4-6 St. Joseph.
I'm all for ample opportunity, but this everybody-makes-it-mentality has gotten a little out of hand, don't you think?
While 10 of our 21 boys basketball teams made the playoffs, 12 of 21 made it on the girls side.
Nobody in Class AAAA. South Fayette and Ringgold highlight the Class AAA crowd, with the Lions, the WPIAL's walking wounded, possibly trotting out an ideal lineup for the first time all season.
The real intrigue, to me, is in Class AA, where McGuffey, Charleroi, Wash High and Chartiers-Houston made it.
McGuffey has battered nearly everyone this season, winning 16 straight before losing a non-section game to Chartiers-Houston last night. The Highlanders have an elite player (Sammie Weiss) and should receive a favorable seed.
But do they have enough to compete within what's undoubtedly the WPIAL's strongest classification, loaded with powerhouses such as Seton-La Salle, Bishop Canevin and Jeannette?
My sleeper here is Chartiers-Houston, a team that plays in that absurd section that includes Seton-La Salle, Bishop Canevin and Steel Valley.
Ignore the 6-6 section record. Those were meaningful losses, if such a thing exists. Just look at the McGuffey win.
If you can make sense of Section 3-A, let me know. Avella won it, though the Eagles also lost to Carmichaels … which lost to Jefferson-Morgan. The Eagles' top player, Olivia English, would be returning from back/neck injuries – if at all.
Carmichaels could surprise some teams, given Morgan Berardi's ability to take over a game, the improved shooting of Caroline Cree and the inside presence of center Amanda Brown.
Look for Avella to receive a middle-of-the-road seed, if that, and Carmichaels not far behind. California and West Greene figure to be among the bottom four.
Monessen is a mystery: eight-game losing streak to start the season, winners of five straight entering last night's non-section game at Thomas Jefferson. Seed should be OK, given Monessen's mystique. And my gut says the Greyhounds, coached by one of the best in Gina Naccarato, make a little bit of a run.
The tournament could begin as early as Friday. With any luck – and if tonight goes well – let's hope it doesn't end shortly thereafter. Wouldn't mind covering some more basketball.

Chelsea Apke made eight of 11 shots and scored 20 points Wednesday night to lead Washington & Jefferson to a 62-44 victory over host Geneva in a Presidents' Athletic Conference women's basketball game.
The win by W&J (12-5, 17-7), combined with Waynesburg's loss at Saint Vincent, clinched the No. 3 seed in next week's PAC tournament for the Presidents.
Geneva (1-16, 3-21) led 22-17 in the first half before W&J took control with a 19-5 run. Apke scored 11 points during the run.
Valerie Dunlap scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds for W&J, which defeated Geneva for the fifth consecutive time.
Heidi Mann scored 17 points for Geneva.
IUP 59, California 51, OT:
Indiana held visiting California to one point in overtime and defeated the Vulcans 59-51 in a key PSAC West Division game.
The win moved third-place IUP (13-5, 18-6) two games ahead of Cal (11-7, 15-7) in the division.
Cal forced overtime when Ryah Gadson made a three-pointer with 45 seconds left in regulation that tied the score at 50-50. After IUP missed a three-pointer, Gadson had two potential game-winning shots in the final five seconds but neither fell through the basket, sending the game to OT.
The Vulcans then went 0-for-7 from the field, and 1-for-3 at the free-throw line, in overtime. Cal's lone point in the extra five minutes came on a free throw by Stephanie Michael with 3:41 remaining. Cal was 2-for-7 at the free-throw line in the game compared to 20-for-26 for IUP.
Lindsay Stamp led IUP with 16 points, and Ashley Stoner had 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Ashley Hines, with 12 points, was the only player to score in double figures for Cal.
Saint Vincent 71, Waynesburg 58: Saint Vincent overcame a halftime deficit and broke open a close with a 19-7 run midway through the second half to defeat visiting Waynesburg 71-58 in a key PAC game.
The loss dropped Waynesburg (11-6, 12-12) out of a third-place tie and into the fourth spot in the PAC. The Yellow Jackets will host a first-round game in the conference tournament Tuesday. Saint Vincent (15-2, 19-5) has clinched the No. 2 seed in the tournament.
Waynesburg used a basket by Brittany Spencer with two seconds to play in the first half to take a 29-27 lead. The game remained tight until Saint Vincent's big run in the second half opened a 64-48 lead for the Bearcats.
Saint Vincent put four players in double figures, led by Devin McGrath's 14 points. McGrath had six consecutive points during the key stretch of the second half. Elle Collins, Melissa Schmidt and Taylor Mathers each scored 11 points.
Gina Rievel paced Waynesburg with 13 points. Elaine Hasek had 12 points and Paige Pearce grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds.
Men's results
Geneva 64, Wash & Jeff 59: Matt Lorello scored 23 points, including a go-ahead three-pointer with 2:13 remaining, as Geneva upset visiting Washington & Jefferson 64-59 in a PAC game.
Lorello, who made 10 of 12 shots, gave Geneva (3-12, 4-20) a 57-55 lead. The Golden Tornadoes increased their advantage to five points on a three-pointer by Jordan Harbison with 48 seconds left. W&J (6-9, 8-16) then used a three-pointer by Zach Bellhy, who scored a game-high 22 points, and a free throw by Mike Resnick to draw to within 60-59 with 24 seconds to play.
Geneva, however, made four consecutive free throws in the final 17 seconds to secure the win.
Harbison scored half of his 10 points in the final minute, and Kenyon Jackson also had 10 points for Geneva.
Nate Bellhy scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for W&J. Ben Cecchini had 11 points.
Saint Vincent 67, Waynesburg 59: Saint Vincent saw most of an 11-point second-half lead disappear, but the Bearcats responded with a pivotal 9-0 run and went on to defeat visiting Waynesburg 67-59 to remain tied for first place in the PAC.
Saint Vincent (14-1, 19-5) is tied with Thomas More for the conference lead, and the Bearcats and Saints will meet in the regular-season finale Saturday in Latrobe.
Upset-minded Waynesburg (4-12, 9-16) trailed by 11 points early in the second half but used a 9-0 run, capped by Kenny Klase's three-pointer, to pull to within 53-51 with five minutes left. Saint Vincent never did lose the lead as the Bearcats responded by scoring the next six points.
Isaac Turne had 21 points to pace SV. Sean Kett scored 14 points and Edmond Wright had 10.
Thomas Ellis came off the bench to score a team-high 16 for Waynesburg. Nate Labishak had 12 and B.J. Durham 10.
Indiana 70, California 53: Anthony Wells scored 24 points, including five three-point field goals, and Indiana remained in sole possession of first place in the PSAC's West Division with a 70-53 victory over visiting California.
Marcell Souberbielle added 15 points for IUP (14-3, 18-3) and Mathias Keita and Josh Wiegand each had 10.
Chris Williams paced Cal (8-9, 9-12) with 15 points and was followed by Tynell Fortune with 11.

Whether it was his portly appearance or his affable nature, Reuben Wasler made quite an impression on many people. That must be why so many Observer-Reporter readers were able to identify the Washington police officer in last week's Mystery Photo.
Wasler, who served on the city force from 1941 into the early 1950s, lived at 42 W. Walnut St. and was neighbor to at least some of the young women in the photo.
Vicki Ferrell-Law called us to identify her mother, Ruth Merritt, who is in the front row, third from left. "She taught school in Washington for 27 years," she said.
Mrs. Merritt, who is now 93 and living in a nursing home, began teaching at Third Ward School in 1955 and moved to Clark School in 1963 to teach one of Washington's first integrated classrooms. She retired from Washington Elementary Education Park in 1983.
Ferrell-Law, who has lived in Washington all her life, was also able to identify some of the other women, including Nelva Thomas, first row, far right; Maureen Jackson, second row, third from left; and Mary Louise Martin, second row, fourth from left.
"I think the group may have been the Patrician Club, which my mother used to talk about quite a bit," Ferrell-Law said.
There were a number of Patrician clubs around the country at the time, the purpose of which was "to advance the moral, social, physical and intellectual welfare of its members."
Deloris Lacey called to identify the "jolly" Patrolman Wasler, and also to identify the woman standing next to him as Jane Leftwich.
John Campbell of Washington was able to identify Elizabeth Wheeler, Sis Martin and Nelva Thomas, fourth, fifth and sixth in the first row, respectively.
Unfortunately, no one was able to precisely date the photo, which looks to be from the late 1940s. Nor was anyone able to identify the orchestra or the place where this July 4 event was being held.
Here's one more remembrance of Wasler (whose first name was spelled several ways in the Washington City Directory) from Joyce Neff Hough of Annapolis, Md.:
"Mr. Ruben Wasler was my family's next-door neighbor on West Walnut Street for many years. He lived there with his two sisters, who also were not married. If I remember correctly, they were both schoolteachers, Miss Anna and Miss Laura Wasler. They were precious people and very proud of their beautiful backyard. As a child I would sing to him the song, 'Rueben, Rueben, I've been thinking, what a grand world this would be,' and he would sing back the refrain to me. Thank you for the fond memories."

Four men remain in the Washington County jail following a raid Friday night at a Marianna bar that had been the subject of many complaints from residents living in the area.
A search warrant was executed at the J & J Hotel and Bar, 1959 Lone Pine Road. The warrant was obtained as a result of a joint investigation by the Washington County Distict Attorney's Drug Task Force, state police, adult probation from Washington and Greene counties, state parole agents and state police liquor control enforcement. The bar was padlocked and closed as a nuissance under a temporary injunction issued Friday in Washington County court. The owner, James Durilla, faces a hearing Wednesday on the temporary injunction.
Eugene S. Sanders, 56, of Marianna, and David Brown, 37, of California. were taken into custody during the raid on drug charges. Also taken into custody on parole detainers were Victor Jones, 51, and David Housel, 37, both of Marianna. A fifth man, who was not immediately identified, was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
In a release issued Saturday, District Attorney Eugene A. Vittone said the bar had been the subject of numerous complaints which led to the undercover operation.
Undercover detectives from the task force as well as state police started making buys in and around the bar.
"Once the detectives were working in the bar, it became clear that this bar was a base for drug sales in the Marianna area," Vittone said, adding controlled buys were made over a period of several months.
Vittone said it was gratifying for investigators to hear the thanks from the residents Friday night.
"It was clear that the people in the small community of Marianna had enough of the drug activity that was occurring in this bar," Vittone added.
Sanders and Brown were each arraigned before District Judge Curtis Thompson. Sanders is charged by state police with posession with intent to deliver, possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed in jail on $200,000 bond. Brown is charged by state police with three counts of possession with intent to deliver. He was placed in jail on $350,000 bond. Both men are scheduled for a preliminary hearing Dec. 4 before Thompson.
Anyone with additional information about the J & J Hotel and Bar or any illegal drug activity in the county is asked to call the toll-free tip line at 1-800-281-0070.

Larry Maggi, Washington County Commission chairman and lifelong local guy, has nothing against concrete. If it's in the right places.
"We have country charm going for us," he said, referring to the county's rich rural fabric that endures today. "We have not 'concreted' over our green and that is an attraction. People also come here because of lower taxes.
"We're trying to keep our country charm and our taxes low to help continue driving our economy."
Maggi and fellow commissioners Diana Irey Vaughan and Harlan Shober Jr. addressed a number of issues and answered audience questions Thursday during the monthly Washington County Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting. The event drew 200-plus people to Southpointe Golf Club.
But for the most part, economic development was the subject du jour. And it was a glorious subject, for economic development boomed in Washington County in 2012. There were 73 new projects accounting for more than $346 million in capital investment.
The county also invested $7.7 million last year to leverage $25.8 million in public/private job-creation projects.
Tourism, an ever-burgeoning industry here, also experienced a large boost. Direct visitor spending increased 15 percent from 2011 to $669.2 million.
And talk about being an attraction … 66 companies either moved into the county or started projects here in 2012. Four of those firms undertook multiple projects.
Energy is frequently regarded as the main source of the county's recent prosperity, thanks largely to development in Marcellus Shale. "Washington County has earned the moniker 'The Energy Capital of the East,'" said chamber President Jeff Kotula, the meeting emcee.
Yet he and the commissioners acknowledged that technology, manufacturing and tourism were local economic forces as well.
Maggi said the economic development projects and capital investment last year will result in 2,530 new jobs. He also lauded manufacturing growth here, citing a Dun & Bradstreet report stating that Washington County has 280 companies that are "involved in manufacturing alone."
The county, Maggi also pointed out, was first in the Pittsburgh region in natural gas wells drilled and drilling permits issued in 2012, and fourth and second in the state, respectively, in those categories.
Irey Vaughan, co-chairman of the commissioners, touted tourism's growth. The $669.2 million in direct visitor spending last year, she noted, was a 15 percent jump from 2011 and more than twice what it was in 2006 – $333 million.
"This was prior to the full development of such tourism assets as The Meadows Racetrack & Casino, Tanger Outlets and the tremendous influx of workers in the natural gas field," she said. "You can clearly see the positive impact these assets have on our economy."
Shober said he is impressed by the positive impact the county Local Share Account program has had. The LSA, started in 2008, is funded by gross revenues from The Meadows Racetrack & Casino.
"The LSA has invested in over $52.2 million in new economic, community and industrial development projects," Shober said. "However, more impressive is the leverage that we have been able to realize from these investments. We have been able to match the $52.2 million in LSA funds with over $121.2 million in federal, state and local monies."
Marcellus' presence may be a fortuitous phenomenon for Washington County, but Kotula said the region's growth is largely attributable to gallons of blood, sweat and tears.
"The successes we are experiencing are not accidental," he said. "They are the result of years of strategic planning by the county commissioners, business community and our economic development organizations to anticipate future growth and be proactive in developing site-ready business parks."
