Follow these guidelines to minimize your exposure to allergens outdoors and to avoid bringing them home By: Danielle Blundell
Stop the sniffles this season
While many of us eagerly await spring, for the 60 million Americans suffering from allergies, April-with its mold-friendly moisture and pollen-bearing blossoms-is one of the toughest times of the year. Experiencing sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy, watery eyes? Follow these guidelines to minimize your exposure to allergens outdoors and to avoid bringing them home.
Garden Smartly. Pollen levels peak between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., so save yard work for later in the day. Keep grass cut short, and consider wearing an air-filtering mask, goggles, and gloves while mowing the lawn. Avoid planting high-pollen-producing flowers such as amaranthus, juniper, and peonies, especially near windows or doors.
Clean Your Gear. Don't hang fresh laundry out to dry, and shake out clothes after they've been worn outside. Shower as soon as possible after spending time outdoors. Pets

The ferry-ride across the sound is enjoyable. You just kind of list and float along with plenty of time to periodically return to the food counter. And consider it's chowder and hermetically sealed muffins. A side note, seagulls like blueberry muffins. Anyway, the counter was also home to a cauldron of suspicious looking sausage soup. While sausage is like an international guarantee (everything with sausage in it tastes good, right) this stuff was green and yellow like snot. - Daniel

"We were supposed to meet at Zeitgeist for coffee before getting on the ferry. The Portlanders were staying at Aaron's, who apparently was only just-living after a nasty bout with food poisoning. The morning was slipping away and my wife managed to need me repeatedly for a number of things. Ferry's don't wait and now I'm stressed. I should ride to the ferry of course but my wife bribes me with the car if I help with one last thing. We hit every red light from Capitol hill to the water. I start doing math. 30-45 seconds per light X 6 lights = missed ferry. I think about whether it is faster to assemble the bike and ride from the middle of town. None of this is helping my marriage.
As we skid into the tollbooth I jump out and build my bike to the sound of the last call horn. Our car is still shuddering and I've already soloed, into a headwind, the four hundred yards of empty parking lots to the boat ramp and the boat. I feel disdain and hate radiating from the mirrored windows on the second deck. I made it." - Hahn

UK Judge Frees Somali Women Guilty of Vicious Assault
The negative fruits of multiculturalism were on display in the UK's court system this week.
A British judge set free a gang of Somali women who had severely beaten a white woman in full view of a surveillance camera. Meanwhile, a group of magistrates jailed a white woman — supposedly for her own safety — after she unbosomed an expletive-laced anti-immigrant tirade on a tram.
Report: 3,000 Honor Crimes In Britain in 2010

Frenchwoman in Doghouse for Ad Advising Muslims of Her ("Unclean") Dog
Another French actress has landed in hot water with government authorities in connection with the country's Muslims — this time well-known singer and actress Marie Laforêt (as seen in 1973, left). Her trouble began when she advised potential Muslim employees that she had a dog that might offend them should they work for her.
British Will Crack Down on "Asian" Muslim Sex Slavers

And those 100,000, London's Daily Mail reported, signed the petition in less than a week.
British Housing Manager Demoted for Opposing Homosexual Marriage
A housing manager in Britain has been demoted for speaking out against homosexual marriage. So now, aside from not being able to speak about the danger of Islam, Britons may not mention any problems with the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name.

While the early to mid 70s were bustling with popular Canadian acts, things had slowed down by the late-70s. There were perhaps three reasons for this. The first was that, while the rest of the world became swept up in disco fever, Canadian artists remained aloof from this genre of music with the odd exception like Patsy Gallant or the T.H.P. Orchestra. Coinciding with this was the decline in popularity of folk music, the style that had been Canada's specialty. Furthermore, the big names in music were sliding into retirement. Things were to pick up and surpass previous prominence of Canuck music, however, in the 1980s, which saw the first Canadian album to be certified diamond.
The late-70s were in fact a crossroads of artists retiring and new ones emerging who didn't skyrocket to prominence until the following decade. One of these was the rock band Rush. Though their debut came in 1974, they didn't score a major hit until 1978′s "Closer to the Heart" and steadily rose to notoriety in the early 80s. Rush is one of the longest-lived and most popular Canadian rock bands. Though never scoring a lot of radio-played hit singles, they have remained a highly successful album-oriented act, as 13 of their studio albums have gone platinum. They are considered the fifth best-selling rock band in history internationally after The Beatles, Rolling Stones, KISS, and Aeorsmith respectively.
A band that often worked and co-wrote songs with Rush was Max Webster. They managed a Platinum album in 1979. In the 80s, member Kim Mitchell embarked on a solo career and did much better.
In terms of bands that scored hits, Vancouver's Trooper was king in this period with ten Top 40 hits (3 more after 1979). Their album Hot Shots was the first Canadian album to go 4x Platinum in Canada. Toronto's Triumph didn't do as well, as their popularity remained mostly in eastern Canada where they scored the 1979 hit "Hold On" and "Magic Power" in 1981. But, unlike Trooper, they have managed to become inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Prism arguably faired better than Triumph with six platinum albums, two major hits ("Night to Remember" and "Young & Restless"), and Juno Award for Group of the Year in 1981. Regina's Streetheart rose to fame with their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb". Randy Bachman, after his departure from B.T.O., formed a new band, Ironhorse. They released only two albums and scored one Top 30 hit: "Sweet Lui Louise".
Other bands in this period were Harlequin and the new wave outfit Saga who managed several minor radio hits. Canada was heading into more progressive electronic rock thanks to Nash the Slash and FM.
Because they started out in Canada, it is worth mentioning the American band Heart. Sweeney Todd released the huge hit "Roxy Roller" but disbanded quickly, two of their members going solo. The first, Nick Gilder, scored a couple of huge hits, one being the biggest of the late-70s, but faded into obscurity after. The second, Bryan Adams, did not see success come as easily, but once he found his signature formula, he became the biggest Canadian solo artist of all-time. We will profile him in the 80s.
The biggest solo artist of the late-70s was former Guess Who front man Burton Cummings. His first hit was "Stand Tall" in 1976. Success came for Angèle Arsenault in 1977 with the multi-platinum album, Libre.
Though he debuted in 1970, folk-pop singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn's big breakthrough came in 1979 thanks to "Wondering Where the Lions Are". Paul Piché's solo album went platinum the same year. Martin Stevens' single "Love is in the Air" went gold while Claudja Barry's "Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes" went Platinum. Respected guitarist Pat Travers churned out some his best material during the late 70s. (Jerry) Doucette's debut release, Mama Let Him Play, earned platinum status. Bells' former pianist Frank Mills released his "Music Box Dancer" instrumental, the sheet music of which has sold in excess of 3 million copies. Diane Tell and Véronique Béliveau both released debut albums in 1977. They became highly successful in the 80s, and we will take a look at them later.
Number One singles in the late 70s were Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", Burton Cummings' "Stand Tall", Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch", Anne Murray's "You Needed Me" and "I Just Fall in Love Again", and Gino Vannelli's "I Just Wanna Stop". Nick Gilder departed from Sweeny Todd after their Number One smash "Roxy Roller", and came out with the biggest Canadian song of the late-70s: "Hot Child in the City", 7th biggest song of the year 1978 according to CHUM FM. "The Theme from S.W.A.T." by the T.H.P. Orchestra, which earned them the Most Promising Group of the Year Juno in 1977, was also a number one single. Patsy Gallant's "Sugar Daddy" won the Song of the Year Juno in 1978. Pianist André Gagnon took home the Album of the Year Juno in 1978 for his Neiges, breaking B.T.O.'s three-year streak in the category.
Outside the realm of pop, some big names at this time: celebrated jazz trombonist Rob McConnell, classical pianist and composer André Gagnon, Nova Scotian female country singer Carroll Baker, earthy folk singer Stan Rogers, and hugely successful children's music trio Sharon, Lois & Bram.
In 1979, due to the Juno Awards' lack of attention to fracophone artists, Quebec launched the Felix Awards. For more on this, click HERE.
Below are mini-profiles on Heart, Streetheart, Sweeney Todd, and Nick Gilder.
Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson who have hitherto sold over 30 million albums worldwide, started out in Vancouver, Canada, so we will take a brief look at them here.
In 1967, Roger Fisher formed a Seattle-based band called The Army that went through a number of personnel and name changes. In late-1970, Ann Wilson joined. Roger's brother, Mike, was set to be recruited, against his will, into the army to fight in Vietnam. When he failed to show up for duty, American authorities raided his home. He jumped out of a rear window and escaped to freedom in Canada. The Americans labeled him a "Vietnam War Draft Dodger".
One day in 1971, Mike snuck across the border back to the U.S. to visit family. There he met Ann Wilson and the two fell in love. This prompted Ann to follow Mike back into Canada. This led other band members to follow suit. They reformed in Vancouver, and changed their name to Heart. Ann's sister Nancy joined in 1974 and began a love affair with Roger.
The band, augmented by some Canadian studio musicians (one of whom permanently joined the band as their drummer) released Dreamboat Annie on Vancouver's Mushroom Records label. Singles "Crazy on You" and "Magic Man" helped the album to eventually sell over a million copies.
In 1977, The American government returned to policies more in keeping with democracy and granted amnesty to Vietnam draft evaders. This led the band to break its contract with Mushroom and move back to Seattle.
This band from Regina, formed in 1977, is best known for their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb" as well as "Action", "What Kind of Love is This", and "One More Time". Four of their albums attained platinum status, one going multi-platinum. In 1980, they received the Juno Award for Most Promising Group of the Year. They disbanded in 1983.
Sweeney Todd / Nick Gilder
This glam rock band that formed in Vancouver in 1975, with Nick Gilder on vocals, scored the #1 hit "Roxy Roller" winning them a Juno Award for Best Single in 1977. Gilder quickly left the band after its success to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by Clark Perry, an arrangement that was short-lived, and Bryan Adams, then only 15 years old, took over on vocals. The band's second album was finally released but was unsuccessful, resulting in Adams' departure. Chris Booth took over on vocals but Sweeney Todd had, by then, run out of steam and disbanded before recording any further albums.
In the meantime, Nick Gilder, born in London, England in 1951, was enjoying a hugely successful solo career. His "Hot Child in the City" topped the charts for weeks and won the 1979 Juno for Single of the Year. It was the 7th biggest song of 1978 according to Toronto's CHUM Radio. It performed equally well in the American Charts. Gilder's "Here Comes the Night" made the Top 30 and "You Really Rock Me" the Top 40. In 1980, "Wild Ones (Feeling Electric)" and "Catch 22″ made the Top 30, but further success proved unattainable. He began composing for other artists, most notably Patty Smyth, Bette Midler, Joe Cocker, and Pat Benatar. In 1984, he co-wrote the song "The Warrior" for the band Scandal, which made the Top 10 in the U.S.

Americans' appetite for cheap clothes led to a manufacturing boom in Bangladesh, and the race to add capacity set the stage for the series of horrific accidents. Ann Zimmerman reports. Photo: AP.
Labels inside the clothing at the fast-fashion chain showed that it came from around the globe, including from Bangladesh, the site of a spate of deadly textile-factory fires and a recent building collapse that has killed more than 1,100 garment workers.

That surprised Ms. Brooks, a 41-year-old software saleswoman who shops at Zara "more than I should," she said. "It just goes to show you that we are not paying attention to that."
Americans' appetite for cheap clothes is one of the strongest of the economic forces that led to a boom in Bangladesh, with the resulting race to add manufacturing capacity setting the stage for the series of horrific accidents.
U.S. consumers have become accustomed to spending relatively little on clothing compared with other items—and getting a lot for their money. Americans last year devoted just 3% of their annual spending to clothing and footwear, compared with around 7% in 1970 and about 13% in 1945, according to Commerce Department data.
One reason Americans now spend so little is that U.S. clothing prices have fallen significantly over the past two decades, after rising in the 1950s, 1960s and especially in the 1970s.

Since 1990, clothing prices in the U.S. have risen just 10% compared with an 82% jump in food prices during the same period, according to Jessica Tenvose, an economist with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which compiles the Consumer Price Index.
If adjusted for inflation, clothing prices would show a decline.
That may be changing a bit. Apparel prices rose about 2% in December 2012 from a year earlier, following a jump of almost 5% in the previous year when cotton prices spiked.
But with consumers so used to paying so little, retailers and apparel manufacturers are reluctant to raise prices and have become even more eager to find low-cost countries to produce their goods in, economists say.
The sluggish U.S. economy and stagnant wage growth add to the pressure on retailers by capping consumers' disposable income, but the desire to shop for trendy new outfits remains strong.
Meanwhile, labor costs in China—long the world's low-cost factory floor—have been rising rapidly.
So retailers and apparel producers are switching to lower-cost alternatives like India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh, where the entry-level wage for garment workers is shy of $40 a month.
On Sunday, Bangladesh's textile minister said he will soon start talks with labor groups and factory owners to agree on a new minimum wage for the industry.
Depending on the size of the wage increase, Western retailers might pull business away from Bangladesh, though wages there would have to quadruple to top those in China.
In the short run, brands might absorb the rise, as many did in 2011, when cotton prices spiked.
The rush to Bangladesh began in earnest in 2005, when an international trade quota system called the Multi Fiber Arrangement expired, lifting the strict limit on the amount of textiles and garments developing countries could export to developed countries.
"Manufacturers saw that it was cheaper to manufacture in Bangladesh and places like Cambodia than China, especially to those manufacturers in Europe, where transportation was cheaper than from China," says Katie Quan, associate chair of the University of California, Berkeley, Center for Labor Research and Education.
Inexpensive clothing allows consumers to buy more. "When I was a little kid in 1950, clothes weren't so cheap, and I remember we only had three or four dresses and that was plenty for a middle-class girl," Ms. Quan said. "Now I have three closets full, and it's not enough."
Yet when shifts in global labor costs and production occur abruptly, they can put enormous pressure on economies.
In Bangladesh's case, major factories became overbooked and so subcontracted more work to smaller outfits. Such subcontracting, and the increasing role of middlemen, have made it easier for retailers to lose track of which factories are producing their goods—and, many critics say, to avoid taking responsibility for poor factory conditions.
The upshot: Bangladesh has quickly become among the world's largest exporters of clothing, and has suffered one of the worst industrial accidents ever.
"If wages rise quickly elsewhere, and producers all flee to the same place, you obviously can overwhelm an economy, and there seems to be a bit of that" in Bangladesh, says Robert Frank, an economics professor at Cornell University. "The influx of manufacturing there was so quick that there was very little time to adjust to it."
Zara's clothes were found in the latest factory fire last week. Inditex SA, Zara's parent company, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

More and more Americans are concerned about the situation in civil-war ravaged Syria, according to a new national survey.
But the CNN/ORC International poll, released Monday, also indicates the public remains cautious over charges that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against its citizens.
According to the survey, 36% of Americans are very concerned about the current situation in Syria, with 43% saying they are somewhat concerned and nearly one in five not concerned. The 36% who are concerned is up seven percentage points from a CNN poll conducted last August.
There seems to be a generational divide, with 47% of those age 50 and older very concerned. That number drops to 28% for those under 50.
The poll's release comes as the United Nations human rights commissioner said Monday that the war in Syria has deteriorated to an "intolerable affront to the human conscience."
And the survey's release also comes on the same day that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was scheduled to meet in Paris regarding Syria with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. For months during the Syrian war, Russia appeared to be supporting the country's president, Bashar al-Assad. But that tide seems to be turning, at least gaining some wiggle room for the Russians to help broker an end to the violence.
The U.N. estimates that more than 70,000 Syrians have been killed since anti-government protests in March 2011 led to a fierce government crackdown, an armed uprising and a bloody civil war. The war has uprooted a quarter of the country's 22 million civilians.
Those who want al-Assad gone claim that the president has ordered his forces to slay families and indiscriminately shell neighborhoods across the country, which is about the size of Washington state. Al-Assad says his forces are trying to save the country from "terrorists."
The poll indicates that two-thirds of Americans think it is likely that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons, but only 16% are certain that this has happened. By contrast, in 2003, 56% of Americans were certain that Saddam Hussein had biological or chemical weapons.
"Americans -- possibly remembering that Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were never found -- express caution over the charges that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons against its citizens," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
If the U.S. had evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, two-thirds of Americans believe that military action would be justified.
"That's a pretty high number, but also stands in contrast to the 85% in 2003 who felt that U.S. military action against Iraq was justified if that country had biological or chemical weapons," adds Holland.
The survey was conducted by ORC International, with 923 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The poll's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

The Gulf Breeze High School Dolphins baseball team got only one more hit than did the Navarre Raiders squad on March 16.
So...how did the Dolphins win 10-0, via the mercy rule, in six innings?
Coach Mickey O'Quinn tried to put it into concise words.
"What can you say?" offered O'Quinn. "We didn't field it, didn't catch it, and didn't knock it in. It's hard to pitch when the plays aren't being made behind you."
Navarre made two official errors. However, throw in a passed ball, a few Dolphins' infield hits that could have been turned into outs with good defensive plays, a few timely hits by Gulf Breeze, and seven walks by three Raiders pitchers - and the Dolphins' 10 runs on 8 hits start to make sense.
For more on this story, see the March 25 issue of the Navarre Press or subscribe online.

Oladokun, O.; Aina, L. (Athabasca University Press, www.aupress.ca, NaN, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: Open and distance learning (ODL) has created room for the emergence of virtual education. Not only are students found everywhere and anywhere undertaking their studies and earning their degrees, but geographical boundaries between nations no longer appear to have much relevance. As the new education paradigm irretrievably alters the way teaching and learning is conducted, the application of modern educational ICTs has a major role to play. With students of transnational or cross-border education dispersed into various nooks and crannies of Botswana, many others enlist for the "home-baked" distance learning programmes from their diverse locations. Like the face-to-face conventional students, distance learners also have information needs which have to be met. But blocking the distance learners' realization of their information needs is the digital divide, which further marginalizes the underclass of "info-poor." The survey method was used, and a questionnaire administered to 519 students of four tertiary level distance teaching institutions that met the criteria set for the study yielded a 70.1% response rate. The results showed that while the Government of Botswana has made considerable effort to ensure country-wide access to ICT, which now constitutes an effective instrument for meeting information needs, a number of problems still exist. The factors impeding easy access are unearthed. The findings of an empirical study portraying some learners as information-rich and others as information-poor, and the consequence of distance learners studying on both sides of the digital divide, are discussed. Suggestions on bridging the digital divide are offered. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/971 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: As a result of the affiliation of the colleges of education (COE)in Botswana to the University of Botswana, the libraries attached to the colleges were assessed with a view to finding out if they met the standards recommended for college libraries. Thus, the guidelines recommended in "College Library Standards, 1995 edition" were used in assessing the the six colleges surveyed. The main factors used in assessing the libraries were: mission statement, collection, staffing, budget, technical services/materials organisation, library services, library administration and facilities. The findings revealed that most of the factors enumerated above were found to be inadequate in the six college libraries surveyed. Recommendations were made to all stakeholders to ensure that the libraries were considerably improved to enable them to perform the functions for which they were established.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A new food truck mall has opened in downtown Colorado Springs.
Wednesday Curbside Cuisine welcomed hungry customers.
"I had the burger from The Local. It is amazing!" said one customer.
The idea for Curbside Cuisine was cooked up by some downtown advocates who are hoping the dining destination will bring a bite and a boost to the downtown area.
"I think it would be great if there were lines all summer long," Aaron Briggs, member of the Colorado Springs Urban Intervention, said. "Just talking to people they're loving it, they're loving that we've got something like this in the Springs."
"It's really cool. I feel like we're in a city or something," Keri Byerts, another customer, said.
"I think it's good for the trucks because they don't have to worry about finding a place to park and driving around and wasting gas and whatnot and it's good for people because they can go to the same place, all the people who work down here can come to the same place, and get a variety," Briggs said.
Curbside Cuisine said food trucks will be selected for their fresh, not fried, options priced under $10.
The new mall is located at the corner of Nevada and Platte Avenue across from Palmer High School.

Passengers might have been catching a catnap, reading a book or daydreaming as they gazed out the window into southern Canada. They may have recently hopped on the train or boarded many hours ago as far back as New York.
Whatever their origin, wherever they were sitting, wherever they were going -- perhaps to the last stop of Toronto -- these travelers wouldn't have expected the terror that Canadian and U.S. authorities detailed this week, a plot they alleged was backed by al Qaeda elements half a world away.
According to a U.S. intelligence official and another government official, the plan was to plant explosives on a trestle -- a type of bridge over which trains often pass -- and detonate them after a northbound train crossed from the United States into Canada. Specifically, another U.S. official said, the New York-to-Toronto line that runs through Buffalo was targeted.
Once the explosives went off, two of the officials said, the train would have careered off its tracks, causing untold death and destruction.
The attack never happened. Instead, the two men who Canadian authorities say planned the alleged terror plot are behind bars.
On Tuesday, a day after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced the arrests, 35-year-old Raed Jaser appeared in Old City Hall Court in Toronto, the city he calls home. Asked whether he understood the legal proceeding, Jaser said, "It's very clear."
But his lawyer, John Norris, afterward said that his client -- whom he described as a permanent resident in Canada, where he has lived the past 20 years -- is "in a state of shock and disbelief."
"He is anxious to see the evidence that the crown says that it has against him," Norris said outside the courtroom.
After waiving the reading of his charges, Jaser returned to the Canadian federal facility where he's being held. Bail was not considered Tuesday in his case.
His alleged co-conspirator -- 30-year-old Chiheb Esseghaier, who was taken to Montreal for a jurisdiction hearing so that a justice can decide whether he'll be transferred to the province of Ontario -- is expected to be in a Toronto courtroom Wednesday for a similar proceeding, said Norris.
According to court documents, both Jaser and Esseghaier face charges of conspiring "to murder persons unknown ... for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group."
Suspects not citizens but have roots in Canada
So who are these two suspects, and what were they doing?
Authorities have not released much detail about the men, including their nationalities or how long they'd been in Canada, beyond that they weren't Canadian citizens.
University of Quebec spokeswoman Julie Martineau said that, since 2010, Esseghaier has been a doctoral student at the National Institute of Scientific Research at that school.
He was conducting research on nanosensors, which are used primarily for medical treatments or to build other nanoproducts, such as computer chips, she said.
"He seemed like a normal student," said Martineau.
Authorities allege that Esseghaier and Jaser watched "trains and railways in the greater Toronto area" and intended to derail a passenger train, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Superintendent Jennifer Strachan.
"We are alleging these two individuals took steps and conducted activities to conduct a terrorist attack," she said.
Muhammad Robert Heft, a Muslim community leader in Toronto, told CNN that a tip from a local imam led to the investigation. Heft, president of the Muslim social services organization Paradise Forever, cited the Canadian police, which he said revealed the information during a briefing on Monday with local Muslim leaders.
"We are supportive and thankful that the RCMP did the investigation and was able to apprehend the individuals before anything happened," Heft said. "We are pleased that they took us in and explained what was going on."
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp., quoting "highly placed sources," reported that Esseghaier and Jaser had been under surveillance for more than a year. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the FBI worked with its law enforcement counterparts in Canada, its close ally, during the investigation.
The terror plot -- which a RCMP official said on condition of anonymity wasn't linked to last week's deadly Boston Marathon bombings -- was in its planning stages and not imminent, Canadian authorities said.
Still, the outlines are reminiscent of those found in a document seized during the raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden. This document indicated that al Qaeda members discussed as early as 2010 a plan to derail trains in the United States by placing obstructions on tracks over bridges and in valleys, though no specific rail system was identified, a law enforcement official told CNN in late 2011.

This years Student Govern-ment Association (S.G.A.) has cut the 1977/78 Budget by $50,000 because of an overestimated enrollment figure. This move was made to avoid the type of overexpen-diture which occured in last year's budget. Last years Student Govern-ment expected to collect $465,000 and the 1976/77 budget was planned according to this figure. Because of miscalculated enrollment figures only $400,000 was collected. In a letter to Mr. Frank Dellaquila (Faculty Student Association Treasurer), Marc Sanders (last years Student Government President) stated, '^we did not find out what we had collected as an activity fee until April 22,1977, because of this we were unaware of the fact that we did not have enough money to cover our budgets. This not only presented us with financial constraints for summer operations (we havte been forced to postpone two enormous renovation projects for the building indefinitely), but we have also had to review already approved budgets for 1977/78 and cut out an additional $50,000. If we had been made aware of the financial situation back in January 1977 we would have been able to decrease our spring activities and propose budgets for next year without them having to be reviewed after they were approved.** Marc Sanders also accused F.S.A. of not fulfilling the requirements of the contract between the two organizations. He claims that only four financial statements were received even though they arc supposed to send one out every month. He also said line items and trust accounts were permitted to be overdrawn without advance notice, certain checks were delayed more than two weeks, some deposits were not acknowledged with deposit slips and check cashing service to students was not made readily available. In response to these charges, Mr. Frank Dellaquila, stated Last Years S.G.A. Executive Board ( L toP,fVlarc Sanders, Pres., Phil Linde, Vice Pres.,& Joe Tumbarrello I Places Blame For Financial Trouble On F.S.A.. that if a line item is overdrawn it is Kathy Farrell*s (S.G.A. Administrative Assistant) responsibility to know about it. F.S.A. just keeps the books. He also said that no checks were delayed two weeks in F.S.A. Each check is signed by two to six people and a delay could have occured during the time it took for all these signatures to appear. He also claimed that check cashing was made available to the students but sometimes F.S.A. would run out of cash. If Marc Sanders would have notified the Faculty Student Association of the problem when he found out about it instead of waiting until June to say anything, the amount of cash on hand could have been increased sooner. Mr. Dellaquila admitted that they may not have sent out all of the financial statements they should have. He said although F.S.A. is not perfect, S.G.A.*s money problems were not caused by F.S.A. They are only the bookkeeper for the Senate, they did not plan the budget nor did they approve it.

A recent Wall Street Journal article pointed out the strength of U.S. manufacturing when it comes to--get ready for the technical jargon--"big stuff." By that the Journal reporter meant mining equipment and heavy machinery.
Economist Chris Kuehl pointed out this fact in a recent edition of Fabrinonics, an e-newsletter from the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl. Both Kuehl and the Journal article brought up the benefits of "clusters," a group of like companies in highly collaborative supply chains. Taiwan has it for semiconductors. We've got it for extremely heavy equipment, like mining trucks.

Watch Teen Shows Online
Featured Teen Shows
Can't imagine a world without Tyler Blackburn (who plays Caleb) on Pretty Little Liars? We sure can't - since he is obviously the hottest fellow on that show by a mile. Therefore, it's pretty much mandatory to follow him on over to Ravenswood, the Pretty Little Liars spinoff about strangers whose lives become intertwined by a deadly curse. Yes, that curse is in a town called Ravenswood (yeah, that's why they've been town-dropping Ravenswood on PLL so frequently), and no, "A" isn't coming along as well, thank goodness.
The Tomorrow People
The CW has brought back this classic UK seriesabout some hot young people with some special abilities. Did we mention the Tomorrow People were hot? Naturally, there's also a bad guy chasing down the powerful hotties of tomorrow, who just happens to be the uncle of one of said hotties, Stephen (played by Robbie Amell, cousin of Stephen Amell from The CW's Arrow). Thanksgiving's going to be awkward, eh?
The Carrie Diaries
We were actually quite charmed by the low-rated first season of this Sex and the City prequel starring AnnaSophia Robb. Does AnnaSophia Robb look at all like Sarah Jessica Parker or make for a believable Carrie-in-the-80s? Not so much, although the show still stands on its own as an entertaining coming of age series with awesome 80s clothes and hair to boot. To make the SATC connection more convincing, Season 2 - premiering on Friday 10/25 on The CW - will introduce the character of Samantha Jones.
