About 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a biopsy. Dr. Gholami was very reassuring, and sympathetic, in answering all my questions and discussing all of the options. We agreed the best plan of attack would be surgery and complete removal. As nervous as I was, Dr. Gholami and his team walked me through every step, explaining what to expect, and continued to answer all my questions and concerns. The surgery went exactly as they had described and recovery was equally uneventful. Now, 18 months later, with each follow-up visit, the office staff remembers me and sincerely wants to know how I'm doing. They greet me as family and Dr. Gholami continues to spend the time during the visit to be sure my questions are fully answered. I have complete confidence in Dr. Gholami, his team and office staff, and would (and have) recommend him to anyone facing this difficult decision.

I am just grateful the surgery went well because between the lack of information that was given to me on his part and the constant billing errors by their accounting staff, I will NOT recommend him to family and friends.

(January 24, 2005) - Hagerstown Community College engineering students recently tested waterwheels they built for the Introduction to Engineering course. The students worked in teams of four and were responsible for developing a waterwheel that would lift a minimum of 100 grams a minimum distance of 10 cm. The waterwheel had maximum dimensions of 53 cm x 40 cm x 35 cm tall. The only power source they could use was 1.4 liters of water. The students developed mathematical models to predict how much mass they could lift and how high they could lift it based on their design.
The Introduction to Engineering course at HCC is fully approved for transfer credit with the Clark School of Engineering at University of Maryland, College Park and the School of Engineering at UMBC. Please contact Tanya Mayer at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 301-790-2800, ext. 202, for more details.


text: How have I manged to get to nearly the end of my fifties and not get stung by a bee? Actually, many years ago I stepped on a dead bee, and it stung me, and although that story relates so beautifully to a running joke in the movie To Have and Have Not (Hemingway via Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart), I never counted it as a real bee sting. Still today when I was weeding right next to the rose bushes in their second bloom and the butterfly bushes, which attract a lot of bees, and I felt a sharp prick under my arm, I knew that was no mosquito. So what was the first thing I did about it? Tweet. Lo and behold, someone was actually reading my Twitter. "Are you allergic?" asked Kareem Johnson, a nice young man I know through my social media contacts who is trying to find a journalism job in NYC. (I've added him to the list of talented, nice, smart young people to whom the so-called stars of Jersey Shore should donate their salaries.) Having never had a "real" bee sting, I had no idea. I was breathing normally, however, and the spot under my arm, though sore and swollen, felt OK after an hour or so. I did have some tingling and numbness, but those who know me know that I don't get especially worked up over bumps and bruises or coughs and colds. How nice though, to return to my computer this evening and find this tweet: Thanks Kareem. Thanks Twitter.

Bisping inks 2-yr analyst deal with Fox (Fuel TV) - Mixed Martial Arts News
I just left my manager's office and I just signed the contract. I'll be a regularly featured analyst on Fuel TV. There's a lot of down time in between fights, so this allows me to be productive. I had a really great time last week and the producers liked me, so they offered me a contract. I think the next time I'm due back is in three or four weeks. I'm not sure how often I'll be on, but it should be pretty regularly, because I'm close to L.A.
When asked if this signified that his active fighting career might be winding down, he was adamant in rejecting that notion, stating,
Absolutely not. This does not mean any interference with my fighting career. I've still got a lot of time left in me. I just turned 34 last week, and I see myself going for another eight years, until I'm 42.
I've got a decent head on my shoulders and I'm comfortable in front of a camera, so this is a good fit for me, and I guess, in a sense, it will help set me up for my post fight career, but first and foremost, I'm a fighter, and that will always come first.

Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
Although we do not really know the agreement they shared re: songwriting/publishing on various songs, if it's not written down, it's not valid. Perhaps he was promised points on various songs.
I think that drummers need to account for what they bring to a song re: groove, "direction", feel, etc. Is the groove or drum part to a song as important as a melody and lyric? In todays pop market, I think it's 50/50.
In general, if you are being paid to do a session, you are being paid to create a part for a song, much like a guitar player doing a part or solo. If the artist already has a groove and direction they want you to play, that's one thing. If they say "what do you think the groove/feel/direction should be on this song?", then you are being asked to contribute to the writing of that song, in my opinion, and a "point" or royalty of that song should be negotiated. If the artist starts the song as a shuffle, and you change it to an up tempo funk groove, and they like it, and it's a hit, then you've created a very important part of what makes that song work.
I will be following this closely, as I think we all should, as it may open up new avenues for us "behind the scenes" musicians!

Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
Everyone who records thinks that their part is valuable to the song's musical or commercial success, but nothing in the contract means nothing in the bank.

Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
Good for him!
If he was with him for 30 years and wasn't paid royalties for 10, then he must be due something equivalent to the 20 years prior.
I hate this kind of stuff. I was in an original band for 10 years and fully participated in the writing of every song. When it came time to get copyrights, the guitarist and the bass player (brothers) went ahead and got them in their names and left me out of the loop. I demanded that they pay me as a per-session drummer for hire and was subsequently fired.
They never found a better drummer to replace me and regret it to this day.
Why is it that boozed up, drug induced artists feel the need to fire drummers to fulfill their egos when they get bruised? Are we all such easy targets in this business?
Billy Joel being sued...
by.. former drummer Liberty Devitto.
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
Which is why serious bands need to have contracts vis a vis each other. If not, you are a hired hand paid by the gig. Or a sessions player.
As a sessions player if you happen to make a huge contribution towards the groove or the shape that a tune takes in that particular session, I'm afraid you cant ask to be paid differently. The artist/music company has paid for your time and your music, regardless of the size of your contribution.
Some of my work is in this area ( music production ) and I constantly deal with session player A for example, who charges x by the hour versus player B who might charge double that. Therefore what I'm paying for is your particular musicality on your instrument, whatever that may be.
In some sessions drummers have suggested chord changes, different horn parts, little changes in melody, which made a huge difference to the outcome but were paid as per the original agreement. For their time. Not necessarily for their time on the 'drums'.
Is it fair? No. But there is not better way as yet. My suggestion in all situations would be to ensure 3 things: clarity, clarity, clarity.
So what happens if you have the same set of 'hired hands' playing many tours/recording dates, and 'appear' or seem to be bands? Sting for example, has a profit sharing arrangement with his guitarist Dominique Miller which is contractual and unique. Works beautifully for them. So far.
Make sure your understanding with allother parties involved is upfront & clear, preferably contractually. The reason U2 is a very rich AND a very happy band is because they have left nothing open to a 'what if' situation in the future. Everything and everyone is covered by contracts.
On this one I dont know. Was Billy a solo artist or was it his band? I know that he has been through lots of twists and turns with UA, Colombia, with people buying out his earlier contracts, royalty agreements etc, so it's kinda messy. Poor Lib's probably got caught up in it, got dumped and was frustrated enough to sue him.
Ya, would be interesting to see where this comes out.

Re: Billy Joel being sued...
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
I think Liberty clearly had an influence on the groove of the songs he played such as "Stiletto" or "Pressure" just to name a couple. I can't imagine those songs turning out the same way with a different drummer.
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
I was in a band where I was a hired gun, played an interesting part I created that shaped the vibe, then it came into a small hit. No money [apart from the session]. It made a national advert [tv]; no money. Felt like fighting it, but didn't for personal reasons. I think as drummers and side men, when we become part of a ''hit'' band etc we may not gain by royalties right away, but do gain with more work in future as people like the looks of success' no matter how stupid it really is. Work by association. Liberty could in all seriousness be potentially screwing his name up if he plays this wrong. The one problem that arrises when in the 'creative' moment is talking about money, a sure way to kill the vibe. Tricky terrain for sure, but best done when the ship is still in port.
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
The lesson here is to get everything in writing for the protection of both "sideman" and artist. In my opinion, Liberty does not have a case.
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
This happens from time to time. I remember it happened with the members of Creedance Clearwater Revival. It is a sad comment on the music business, esp in situations like this where there is a lot of money going around.
I have learned that you should never walk away from a paying gig without a fight. Liberty probably had a strong wrongful termination suit. I think the statute on that is one year. You can't fire a guy because he was your drinking Buddy, which is what Joel said, anymore than you can fire a person for "saying something." any more than you can fire someone because you :"feel like it." You have to show good cause. In a jazz situation that is different because normally a new band plays new repertoire. But BJ's been playing the same hits for thirty years.
Obviously, if he has not seen any royalties in 10 years there is a problem. He is on those recordings and they do get a lot of airplay. I think that it is a good point that musicians should be aware of these things. I met a woman many years ago who had been on the original Jesus Christ Superstar recordings. She was offered a percentage or 100 pounds. She took the 100 pounds. It probably paid her rent. Her percentage would have made her a millionaire. It's only money. What was that guy's name, Andrew Lloyd Webber or something like that?
Ken Marino Drum Teacher "It's not worth keeping score. You win some. You lose some, you let it go"
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
As has been said really depends what deal is signed at the time.
Mitch Mitchell died pretty much broke, he didn't earn a dime from royalties from Hendrix albums as he was a hired gun. That is the deal he negotiated at the time, I guess with hindsight!!
Someone like Oasis fight like cat and dog because one entity of the band is earning four or five times what they are (Noel).......
This topic killed The Police. Copeland and Summers egos crushed the golden goose with Sting.
Mike Joyce (thinks that's his name) probably the best example. The drummer from The Smiths. He succesfully sued Marr and Morrissey in court several years back.
I wouldn't hold out much hope for Lib De Vitto, all he'll ensure is that he'll never play with Billy Joel again!!

Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
Thanks Pat!!! This thread raises some really good points and some that are a little confused. Some of the issues raised are near and dear to the heart of many in the business and some are starting to be addressed right now! At the risk of writing a short novel I would like to try to clarify some points and address some others.
First you have to recognize that the real money in this business is in songwriting and in songwriting royalties. The payment of such royalties is tied to what under current law you can copyright. Copyright is reserved for only the lyrics and melody and, therefore, except under very rare circumstances does not include the contribution of the drummer. In some cases, drummers or sidemen have litigated this issue and tried to argue that their part is integral to the song and contributes to the overall work in such a manner as to warrant a royalty payment. Most of these claims have been unsuccessful.
In regard to Liberty's claim we don't yet know enough concerning the evidence of agreements between Liberty and Billy Joel to really address the merits of his claim. As someone who deals with similar issues, however, we all should applaud him for taking a stand and maybe this will help bring the issue to the fore. In regard to the post which mentioned Liberty has a wrongful termination suit, i very much doubt it. Most states in the US (and I don't know which state's law would apply to Liberty's claim) are "employment at will" states: this means that any employee can be fired for a good reason, a bad reason or no reason at all (unless that reason violates public policy - eg. you can't be fired because you are African-American). Furthermore, it is unlikely that Liberty was ever an "employee" and was more likely an independent contractor and Billy Joel is free to contract or not contract with whomever he wants.
The traditional way around the lack of a royalty payment to the sideman/woman is to agree with the songwriter that the part you wrote is worthy of a writing credit for the song as a whole. This will provide you with a piece of the pie but, make sure that this Agreement is written down!! In many cases, however, this is simply impossible to do as the songwriter has no desire to relinquish his or her rights or any part of them and currently their is no legal basis to make such a claim in the courts. Unfortunately, a drummer who insists on such an arrangement may find themselves being replaced. Prior posts which mention U2 and the Police are good examples of the differing approach to this issue. U2 share all royalties while the Police did not! In the case of a session player - who, remember, is often retained because of their ability to play quickly and accurately - they are simply paid a flat fee which may be scale or, depending on the fame and or notoriety of the player, may be higher (or for the non-union guys out there, may be lower). This system, most often, also applies to the big name guys and even though they may have a signature part still only earn a work-for-hire fee and take no part of the royalties. Gadd, for example, received no songwriting credit for Aja or for 50 ways, whereas many of us on this site would argue that he would have a good claim to do so.
In the band context, some bands have been very creative in addressing this issue. In the case of Chicago, an agreement was reached among the band members that a percentage of all songwriting royalties would be put into trust and split among the non -songwriting members of the band who played on that tune. This provides residual payment to those musicians who are no longer with the band and often amounts to a higher royalty payment than is paid for simple sales. This approach is also less onerous for the "songwriter" as he or she still reatins a higher percentage than if the credit was simply shared.
Perhaps the most unfair issue, especially for drummers, relates to the use of sampling. Often it is the distinctive drum part to a song which is sampled and used on a newly released record. There is, of course, a royalty payment made for use of the sample but it goes to the songwriter who owns the copyright. This is the case even if the sample is ONLY the drum part and the melody and lyrics of the song are never included in the new version. There is an Ashford and Simpson song which has a drum intro played by Jonathan Moffett. This intro has been sampled more than 500 times and Jonathan has never received any money for it above what he was paid for the session. The part was written by him and, arguably, it made the song. The part is certainly distinctive enough to recognize the song just from the drum intro. Under current copyright law, he has no claim. It is this particular unfairness which we are trying to address and which has many, many of the top players out there recognizing this fundamental unfairness.
Having congress change the copyright law to address unfairness to drummers is unlikely to obtain very much priority among our representatives. This has led to many discussions and attempts to resolve this issue in other ways. One potential solution is an agreement to be executed by the artist and the sideman/woman which concerns sampling of their individual parts and a share of the royalty payments for the same. This is extremely complicated and fraught with problems associated with policing the source of the royalty payment. Another solution is to use the musicians' union but in some states (such as Florida) there can be no closed shop and so the union has more limited power. We will, however, keep working on behalf of musicians and drummers to make sure that the system becomes more fair.
In the meantime I would suggest listening to Pat. All agreements should be in writing and nothing should be done in the absence of an agreement (and that includes agreements between band members); never sign anything except an autograph without having a lawyer look at it first and never sign an autograph at the bottom right hand side of a blank 8 x11 piece of paper!
I have already written about 10x the information that most will read. Hopefully, however, you can tell that this is an issue which is dear to my heart. I am interested to hear your thoughts.
Re: Lib DeVitto Sues Billy Joel.
I only read about 10% of your post; but what I did read was very interesting. :)
The legal merits of the Liberty De Vitto case are unknown, but I think you are very correct in stating that this is an example of a high profile musician doing something that needs to be addressed on a broader scale, and the examples you gave like 50 Ways are really great indications of the problem. There are some great grooves out there, and in many contexts the groove not only adds something unique to the song, but also sells the song from the get go. There are examples of where the groove writes the song. Take Five is one.
I think that this is a larger scale problem in the music industry. Many musicians up front sign away a lot of their royalty rights. In the book confessions of the Record Producer, Moses Avalon talks about this. He states the the record companies best asset is the young green kid who has been told his whole life he has no talent. When the record company signs him to a three record deal, he is just so happy to be making music his life, he signs away all his royalties.So one always needs to be clear.
I think we as musicians ourselves have a lot of biases about making music. We want it to be something special,. It is nice to talk to people who don't have those types of biases and see what they say about the business of making music your livelihood. There is really nothing 'special' about it.

John Wayne Childers was back in Jones County Superior Court Nov. 15 to address probation violations, which are the result of his most recent arrest for burglary and battery.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Goodrich told the court that Childers pled guilty to two counts of aggravated assault April 4, 2004, and received 15 years. In 2006 he pled guilty to terroristic threats and criminal interference with government property and received five years on each charge for a total of 10 years.
Goodrich said Childers was arrested Sept. 7, 2012, on charges of burglary and simple battery. She said he went to a home on Greene Settlement Road and demanded pills. When he did not get them, the victim was hit and her purse stolen.
Childers pled guilty to the new charges and received nine years for count 1, burglary, and 12 months on count 2, simple battery. The counts will run concurrent for a total of nine years. Upon service of six years, the remainder of that sentence may be served on probation.
Chief Judge William Prior ordered the balance of Childers' previous probated sentences revoked to prison. Those sentences have end dates of Feb. 25, 2017, and Dec. 26, 2018.

As expected, the Green Wave softball team finished the 2013 season highly ranked in the South Carolina Class AAAA Coaches Softball Poll.
The final softball poll of the year was recently released and 2013 State Champion Boiling Spirings is the top ranked Class AAAA for the state. Summerville, which fell to Boiling Springs in the championship series, is ranked second for the class. Byrnes is ranked third while Clover is ranked fourth and Bluffton finishes the season ranked fifth. Rounding out the Top 10 are Hillcrest, Wando, Blythewood, White Knoll and Carolina Forest, respectively.
Summerville should be a contender for a state championship next season as it only loses one player. Kayla Branton graduated Memorial Day weekend, but all 12 of the other varsity lettermen from the 2013 season should return next year. All of the team's starters should return.
The bad news for Summerville fans is competition in Region 8-AAAA will likely be stiff next season. The region includes Bluffton, which split its region games with the Wave this year to grab Co-Region Champion honors. Summerville also split its region games with Fort Dorchester and Ashley Ridge this Spring.
Fort Dorchester graduated seven seniors from its team, but Ashley Ridge only lost four seniors. Both those teams are expected to have talent next season.
However, Summerville did play its best ball toward the end of the 2013 season and avenged all three of its losses in the region coming down the home stretch. The Wave should have good leadership next season as it stands to have four returning seniors and four returning juniors.
In the other classifications: DW Daniel and Union County took the top two spots in the Class AAA Softball Poll; Crescent and Waccamaw took the top spots for Class AA; and East Clarendon and Dixie took the top spots for Class A.
No Lowcountry teams finished the year ranked in the 3-A, 2-A or Single-A poll.

It is with great respect for journalists that I ask to submit corrections to a November 29 article by Lisa Loomis, "Toxics Action Center takes aim at Moretown Landfill." The article contains an inaccurate quote from the Toxics Center's published report that added Moretown Landfill to the list of the 12 most egregious polluters. In addition, my opinion is, the reasons for the Agency of Natural Resources' delay in granting recertification of MLI's Cell 3 lacked some important clarifications.
With regard to groundwater contamination, to date the monitoring wells at MLI for groundwater do not show a conclusively clear trend either way across all wells. There is not data to support the inference from Tom Badowski's statement of "significant reduction in groundwater contamination." Those remarks leave the impression that there is overall improvement. Please consider the inclusion of the words "some of the elevated levels" in the statement. When all of the monitoring wells are considered, the trends are not conclusive either way and warrant further evaluation.
I have read the Toxics Action Center report and the correct quote is, "Cell 3 of this landfill currently operates without an updated landfill certification, and has done so for more then two years." The Valley Reporter article quotes the Toxics Action Center report as containing, "the landfill's current cell does not have a current permit." To understand more about why the award was given to the landfill please read the full report which is available on the Toxics Action Center website: toxicsaction.org. The report can be located by selecting the Dirty Dozen article from November 27.
A letter from Ben Gauthier, ANR, dated October 1, 2012, and issued to Moretown Landfill states, "As you know, the Cell 3 re-certification is currently technically incomplete; a decision cannot be issued until Moretown Landfill sufficiently demonstrates compliance with groundwater protection and odor control criteria." This is the reason that the ANR cannot make a decision. It is correct that the landfill had complied with the requirements of the recertification process by submitting their application prior to their current certification's expiration. By doing so the landfill is allowed to continue operations while the recertification is evaluated and a determination is made. It is true that laws went into place before a final recertification was issued that made groundwater a public trust. This created a situation requiring further review of the recertification application. The groundwater has shown levels of contamination, at least in part from the prior unlined landfill, and the determination was made that further cleanup is required before a recertification can be issued. In addition offsite odors have come to the attention of the ANR and are under current examination as well.
No final determination has been made by the ANR with regard to the recertification, but to make a determination at this time could force denial of the recertification under the Solid Waste Management Rules. The ANR has allowed significant time for MLI to come into compliance. Please don't mistake this situation as the ANR somehow hampering the landfill from receiving a deserved recertification.
Further complicating the Cell 3 recertification is that recently MLI submitted a supplement to the application requesting the re-opening of Cell 2. There is settling in that cell which allows room for them to work within the previously permitted Cell 2 air space. That cell has been permanently capped and no provision was previously made for uncapping and re-opening it so this matter needs to be put out for public comment and is subject to further review by the ANR.
A simple fact that can be verified through research and public documents that are available through the ANR is that their inability to make a decision for recertification at this time, and therefore leaving the old certification as valid for operation, is the landfill's inability to demonstrate compliance with both groundwater and off-site odor standards.

It occurred to me this past May, after a visit with my now 19-month-old granddaughter who is being held hostage by her parents in the far off land of Oregon, that if I wanted to spend more time with her, I'd have to be unemployed to do it.
So there you have it. I need more baby time.
And writing time. So when I'm not offering up words of wisdom on the raising up of my grandchild, I'll be writing. Probably about the grandchild.
So this is it. My last week of newspapering.
My career has been a long and wonderful ride. And it was never work from the first minute as a teenager.
One of my favorite photos of the Hubster is one I took when I was 17. The photo was for the Palmetto Leaf, the Camden High School newspaper. (He was actually the staff photographer, so he developed the film.)
That was nearly 50 years ago. It's been a love affair — both with newspapers and the guy I was photographing that day.
I occasionally call it a bad habit that I can't get over. From my time at The State newspaper in Columbia, to my first job at The Journal Scene – hired by now-mayor Bill Collins – where I covered schools and any concert I could talk my way into, it's been more than a job. A lifestyle.
From there I went on to edit The Goose Creek Gazette before moving on to The Post and Courier where I was, of all things, the fashion editor, They must have been crazy. I didn't know the difference between Valentino and Versace when I started, but I'm forever thankful for that opportunity. I eventually became the features editor for The Post and Courier and had the great fortune to cover some of the 200th anniversary celebrations for that most venerable of publications.
When I had the chance to return to community journalism as the executive editor for The Journal Scene, The Gazette and The Berkeley Independent, I jumped at the chance.
I've had more fun at my job than almost anyone I can think of. Probably because it was never a job, but just what I was meant to do. I've written stories that tell the tales of the various communities in which I've worked. I've laughed with folks who had something fun to tell, commiserated with those who were victims of some outrageous fortune.
And the photographs: of smiling children, wise senior citizens, ordinary folks engaged in life. My days have been filled with car wrecks, business features, bits of local history, and winners and losers in everything from beauty pageants and political races to ribbons for the best camellias at the fair. I've shot photos at concerts, have roamed the sidelines at football games shooting the game when there was no one else to do it. (For the record, I still know next to nothing about football.)
It's been my good fortune to work with folks whose primary job is to tell stories. To work among other writers has been an honor.
And now the question I get multiple times a day: "What are you going to do now?"
Newspapering is all I've done for so long, I'm not 100 percent sure how I'll redefine my time, myself.
The likely answer will be simply "writer."
I plan to get up every morning, see the Hubster off to work, then take the wiener dogs for a walk – both they, and I, need it. I'll come back, have a little breakfast, grab a mug of coffee and head to my little in-home office to write for a few hours. Or edit the books that are collections of the columns I've written off and on for 25 years. I figure I have about 900 columns, half of which are in hard copy only, meaning there will be a whole lot of transcribing going on. About 100 or so already have found their way into collections, the first of which, "Living with Wieners… and Guys, too" will get it's first public airing at the Author! Author! event at next week's Third Thursday.
I have gardening to do, something I've always enjoyed but have had little time for in recent years. Digging in the dirt and watching things grow from almost nothing is pure joy.
And there's the artwork. I'm pretty awful at it but there was a time when I painted canvases all day every day. Another joy that I'm ready to revisit.
Then there are all the people I've neglected while I've been putting out newspapers. My sisters, my friends – my husband, children and only grandchild.
Watch out folks.
Here I come, ready or not. Judy with time on her hands. A completely new experience.
For those who need to reach me in the future, my new email is firstname.lastname@example.com. I have a Facebook page under the same name. And the books will have fan pages once I figure out what the heck that is.
Although I will be gone from the building, I'll likely write the occasional Watts Line for our community's newspaper to let everyone know what's going on with Surfer Dude, Manchild #2 and the Hubster.
I wouldn't trade my life — both at work and at home — with anyone elses.
It's been great fun everyone.

Thunder in the Vicinity

The Waitsfield Town Office Task Force wants to hear from the public about which of two locations should be the site of the town's new offices.
The task force is holding a public meeting to consider two options for a new town office on December 11 at the Waitsfield Elementary School at 7 p.m.
Appointed by the Waitsfield Select Board in 2010, the Task Force was charged with evaluating locations for a new town office and to bring a recommendation to the select board. The existing office space, located in the basement of the Joslin Memorial Library, has long been identified as deficient to serve the town's needs. Alternative locations have been studied beginning in the early 1980s, and relocating or expanding the office has been in the town's capital budget for the past 20 years.
After analyzing space needs and evaluating several sites in Irasville and Waitsfield Village – and holding several public meetings and reaching out to citizens and area landowners – the town allocated funds in 2011 to select an appropriate site. With the help of William Maclay Architects and Planners and with extensive input from town residents, the Task Force narrowed the options down to four sites in Waitsfield Village.
After lengthy discussion at this year's Town Meeting, Waitsfield voters appropriated additional funds to select a site and prepare a development proposal to present to the voters. Several competitive bids to assist with this work were received and the town selected Maclay Architects.
After additional public meetings and site visits, the town entered into an option to purchase the 0.85-acre Farm Stand parcel from Wrenn Compere.
According to Brian Shupe, spokesperson for the committee, the site was selected for several reasons:
The cost of development – due to its development potential and price, it was determined that building on this site would be more cost effective than other options, including building on the town-owned Wait House Parcel;
Its development suitability, including ample septic capacity and the ability to design a building to meet today's needs with plenty of future expansion potential;
Its central, accessible location in Waitsfield Village, and the potential to strengthen the village streetscape and pedestrian character; and
Its proximity to the adjacent town-owned "polo field," and the ability to enhance public use and enjoyment of that property through improved access, parking, restrooms and related amenities.
"As part of the process of preparing preliminary development plans for the building, some town residents expressed concern that the former Methodist Church (Luminosity building) should have been given greater consideration. The Task Force agreed, and efforts began to study the feasibility of purchasing that building and converting it to a town office. Arguments in favor of that building include the opportunity to renovate an attractive historic structure its proximity to Bridge Street and overall central location in the Waitsfield Village, and enough interior space to accommodate large public meetings and future expansion needs," Shupe explained.
The Task Force will make a recommendation on final site selection to the select board based on input gathered at this and previous public meetings, as well as the results of the investigation carried out by Maclay Architects. This recommendation may lead to a bond vote at the March Town Meeting to establish funding for the final design and construction of a new town office facility.
The Task Force is soliciting advice from town residents and landowners at the December 11 meeting. At that meeting, preliminary building and site designs and cost estimates will be presented for discussion. Costs for the church building have come in at an estimated $2,435,224, while costs for the Flemer Farm Stand parcel are estimated at $1,612,588.
Members of the Town Office Task Force include Sandra Gallup, Charlie Hosford, Jennifer Peterson, John Reilly, Brian Shupe and Brian Voigt.

About the EEO-1 Survey
Who Needs to File the EEO-1
Getting Started with the EEO-1
Completing the EEO-1
Types of Reports
Returning Filers
Multi-establishment Companies
Warning Messages
1. What is the EEO-1 Report?
A. The EEO-1 Report is a compliance survey mandated by federal statute and regulations. The survey requires company employment data to be categorized by race/ethnicity, gender and job category. A sample copy of the EEO-1 form and instructions are available here.
2. Is EEO-1 data confidential?
A. Yes, The EEOC is prohibited by federal statute, i.e. Section 709(e) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, from making public the employment data derived from any of its compliance surveys. However, many years ago the courts ruled that the prohibition against disclosure in Title VII does not apply to federal government prime contractors or first-tier subcontractors. However, requests for employment data for federal government prime contractors/first-tier subcontractors must be directed to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) in the U.S. Department of Labor.
3. How do the EEOC and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) use EEO-1 survey data?
A. Both the EEOC and OFCCP have used EEO-1 data since 1966. The EEOC uses EEO-1 data to support civil rights enforcement and to analyze employment patterns, such as the representation of female and minority workers within companies, industries or regions. The OFCCP uses EEO-1 data to determine which company establishments to select for compliance reviews. OFCCP's system uses statistical assessment of EEO-1 data to select facilities where the likelihood of systematic discrimination is the greatest.
1. What companies are required to file the EEO-1 report?
A. All companies that meet the following criteria are required to file the EEO-1 report annually:
2. Do I need to file if my company has fewer than 50 employees but does have a federal government contract worth $50,000 or more?
A. No, your company must meet both requirements of 50 employees and the government contract worth $50,000 or more.
3. Do State and Local Governments and Elementary-Secondary School Districts/Systems need to file an EEO-1 report?
A. No. State and Local Governments are required to file the EEO-4 Reports only. School districts are only required to file the EEO-5 report.
4. If my company sells Medicaid does that mean that we are a federal government contractor?
A. No. Selling Medicaid is not a federal government contract.
1. What is the annual EEO-1 filing deadline?
A. All EEO-1 reports must be submitted and certified no later than September 30th, annually.
2. My company is required to file the EEO-1 report for the first time. How do I obtain an EEO-1 Login ID and Password?
A. Register the company online at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey. Click "click here to register" and follow the online instructions. After submitting the Registration Form, print the next screen as that gives the Login ID and Password.
3. If I am a new company and registered online but didn't receive a login ID and password on the screen, do I need to register again?
A. No, do not register again. You must contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can look up your login information.
4. Are there alternate EEO-1 Reporting Formats?
A. The preferred and most efficient method of submitting EEO-1 reports is through the EEO-1 Online Filing Application or as an electronically transmitted data file (ASCII/TEXT file). The EEOC-approved specifications for creating an EEO-1 data file are available at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey.
5. Can EEO-1 Reports still be filed by paper?
A. The EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee prefers that employers file their EEO-1 report by using the on-line filing application or the data file upload method. If you have any concerns or questions regarding this please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
6. Do I report locations that are outside of the U.S.?
A. You cannot include locations that are outside of the United States. This excludes all locations outside the 50 states and the District of Columbia, also excluding American Protectorates.
7. What is the difference between a single-establishment and a multi-establishment company?
A. A single-establishment company does business at only one physical address. A multi-establishment company does business at two or more physical addresses. Single-establishment companies are only required to submit one EEO-1 data record/report. Multi-establishment companies are required to submit a separate EEO-1 data record/report for the headquarters establishment and each remaining establishment of the company, including establishments employing fewer than 50 employees (see the section "Types of Reports" in FAQ for more detail).
1. From what time period must companies use to extract EEO-1 employment data?
A. Employment data must be pulled from one pay period in July, August, or September of the current survey year.
2. If I think I know an employee's ethnicity, can I just write that in on the report?
A. No. The preferred method of identification is self-identification. Employers need to provide employees the opportunity to self-identify their own ethnicity. If an employee then refuses to do so, employment records or visual observation must be used.
3. Do I include part-time employees?
A. Yes. Part-time employees are included in EEO-1 reporting, and are reported just as full-time employees are.
4. Does the EEO-1 report require applicant data?
A. No. The EEO-1 report requires employment data only.
5. How should employees who telework, i.e. work from home, be reported on the EEO-1 report?
A. Employees who telework, i.e. work from home, must be included in the EEO-1 report for the location to which they report. DO NOT indicate home addresses for these employees.
6. What happens if I do not hit the "certify report" button?
A. Without clicking the "certify report" button, the EEOC will not receive your report. You will receive an EEO-1 violation notice and appear on our non-respondent list even if the rest of the report is completed.
1. How many EEO-1 data records/reports is a single-establishment company required to submit?
A. A single-establishment company is required to submit only one EEO-1 data report - a Type/Status 1 EEO-1 Report.
2. How many EEO-1 data records/reports is a multi-establishment company required to submit?
A. Multi-establishment companies are required to submit the following types of EEO-1 data reports:
NOTE: If you choose to create a Type 6 data record/report for each establishment employing fewer than 50 employees, you MUST manually enter data categorized by race, gender and job category to the Type 2 - Consolidated Report to include all company employees. If you choose to create a Type 8 report for each establishment employing fewer than 50 employees, you must enter employment data categorized by race, gender and job category for each Type 8 report. The employment data entered for each such establishment will automatically populate the Type 2 - Consolidated Report.
3. Are companies allowed to record zero employees in any other reports besides the headquarters report?
A. No. The headquarters report is the only report that can indicate zero employees, and only under certain circumstances.
1. What happens if I do not hit the "certify report" button?
A. Without certification, the EEOC will not receive the report. You will receive an EEO-1 violation notice and appear on our non-respondent list even if the rest of the report is completed.
2. If my company has previously filed type 6 reports, can I switch to type 8 or vice versa? (Note that this question only applies to multi-establishment companies.)
A. Absolutely. If you feel that using a different type of report would better serve your company, please contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee. For example, multi-establishment companies with relatively few locations (under 20) may find it easier to utilize type 8 reports, while those with many locations with under 50 employees may find it much easier to use type 6 reports.
Use whichever report type is easiest for your company. Keep in mind that with the type 6 reports, you must manually enter employment data categorized by race, gender, and job category into the Consolidated Report to include all company employees.
If you want to change the type of report for establishments with fewer than 50 employees, you may send an email requesting the change to email@example.com. Please include your company name and login ID.
3. How can I obtain my company's EEO-1 Login ID and Password?
A. If you are your company's designated EEO-1 contact person or Certifying Official for the company's previous year's EEO-1 report, send an email request to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are the company's new designated EEO-1 contact person, contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 866-286-6440 (Toll-free).
4. How can I view our company's prior years' reports?
A. Log into the company's database, click "VIEW REPORTS," then click the down arrow under the 'Year,' select the desired year and click the "Refresh Screen" button.
5. Our Company has moved. How do we change our address for filing the EEO-1?
A. Log into the company's EEO-1 online database and update the address and any other contact information that may have changed (i.e., phone number) in Step No. 2 for single-establishment companies and the Type 2 - Consolidated Report for multi-establishment companies.
6. My company has filed for bankruptcy. Are we still required to file the EEO-1 report?
A. If your company has filed for bankruptcy prior to July 1st in the current year, then you must contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee at 1-866-286-6440 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com attaching documentation that your company is now out of business. The company will be removed from the mailing list.
7. Are companies able to correct employment information provided in prior years' reports?
A. No.
8. My company has experienced an acquisition, merger, or spin-off since the last survey reporting period. How should these changes be reflected in this year's survey report?
A. If your company has experienced an acquisition or merger since the last survey period, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. If your company has experienced a spin-off since the last survey reporting period, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your company's name and the name of the company that your company was spun off from.
9. If my company acquired the assets of another company, does that mean that we acquired the company?
A. No. It basically means that your company may have acquired just the equipment of another company.
10. If I am a PEO (Private Employer Organization) and acquired clients that already filed EEO-1 reports in the past, how do I get their unit numbers moved under the PEO database?
A. If you acquire a client as a PEO, you must contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee before you start entering any EEO-1 data for that company.
1. Our company has several locations. Can we report our entire workforce on the Headquarters Report?
A. Absolutely not! Employment data must be entered separately for each location of the company. You must provide employment data by each location.
2. What if I have zero employees at a location? Does it get a Type 6 or 8 filed for it as well?
A. The only location with zero employees that is included on any EEO-1 reports is a headquarters (type 3 only). No other location with zero employees should be included on any EEO-1 documents. Further, locations that previously had employees but no longer have them must be deleted. If employees appear at these locations later, assigned unit numbers that were deleted may be retrieved.
3. If I have used type 6 reports and enter all company employees into the Consolidated Report but do not get the "certify report" button at the top of the screen, what went wrong?
A. This means that there is a data entry error and/or your total employees from the Consolidated Report do not match your total employees from all of your Type 6 reports. You will see negative values in the matrix in the Reconciliation Report to show where the error(s) were made. To certify your EEO-1 Survey, correct these errors, ensure that the data is correct, and when the totals match, the "certify report" button that you must click on will appear at the top of the screen.
4. What is the Reconciliation Report?
A. The Reconciliation Report is there to acknowledge any data entry errors/conflicts in the survey. It is a detailed summary report where errors are identified.
1. If an address is repeated more than once is that okay for EEO-1 reporting?
A. If an address is reported more than once, a pop-up will appear on the screen asking you to verify.
2. I deleted several establishments and received the following message:
"You deleted 25% or more of your company's establishment. You must contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee immediately at 866.286.6440 (Toll-free) or email@example.com!".
What does this message mean? What should I do?
A. You will not be able to certify your report if you have deleted 25% or more of your company's locations. In this instance, you must contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee at 866.286.6440 (Toll free) for assistance.
3. I tried to file for a location in a U.S. Protectorate but I received a warning message. What went wrong?
A. The EEO-1 is only collected for those companies and locations in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Attempting to register a location outside of the United States will lead to you receiving a pop-up warning.
4. If a location has 1,000 or more employees reported on the EEO-1 report would that be a red flag?
A. Yes. There will be a pop-up message asking if there are really 1,000 or more employees at this address alone. If there are, then click yes and proceed. If all 1,000 employees do not work at this one address, you must click on the "add location" button.
1. Are companies able to file for previous years if it was required but we failed to do so?
A. No. There is no way to file for previous years when the deadline has already passed. The EEO-1 online application does not allow employers to file for previous years. Once our database is closed, no more data can be entered for that time interval.
2. Which NAICS code do I use?
A. We have developed a crosswalk between the 2007 and the 2012 NAICS codes if that is how you would like to classify your main business. You can access it here or through the survey's homepage in a plain text version as well.

I had the very same list you have, and carried it in my heart, struggling with our decision, for almost 5 years. Even the thought of another pregnancy literally sent me in to panic attacks. After Emma was born at 32 weeks, we had our healthy baby girl. She will be 5 in November. While it's not an easy decision to come to, I understand your feelings completely, but also wanted to share my story with you. I don't want you to feel as though I'm being pushy or rude etc, this is just how things have turned out for us thus far. After making the decision to be a one and done family, I was going to make it so I could not conceive anymore children. At the time, this was over 3 years ago, so forgive me because I can't remember the specifics, but there was a type of birth control that had the same effects as a tubal ligation, without the surgery. (Again, I can't remember what it was, it may have been experimental, etc, just suggested by our doctor if we were sure we were done and did not want to conceive again.) Anyhow, something in me just didn't feel right about the decision. It took another three years to understand why we didn't feel right about either a vasectomy or tubal ligation/the permanent birth control method. We decided to try for another baby. Fingers crossed, all is going well at 23w5d. I am very thankful that we didn't do anything that would have prevented us from getting pregnant again, and were very careful in our birth control methods. I would just really hate for you to make a decision on surgery, etc (which I know you didn't say) but I felt like I had to share our story with you--It took a LONG time for us to be ready again after p/e..but it happened for us (kind of out of the blue!). I really hope I'm not stepping over the line here, but I had the same exact list not so long ago, and would have been awfully upset with myself had I done something to make our then decision more permanent.
God Bless

Science-fiction double feature: Ohio Theatre pairs 'Repo!' with 'Rocky Horror'Written by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
On April 25, 2009, Director Crystal Coon brought "Repo! The Genetic Opera" to the Ohio Theatre. A few months later, that year's Halloween show was one of the last before the theater closed for nearly four years.
The show, paired with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as a double feature, will return for the first time since the theater reopened as a multipurpose space under new management and with a new name, the Ohio Theatre and Events Center (OTEC).
Coon said returning to OTEC, at 3114 Lagrange St., is a "historical" process.
"That's where we started. It's a place we're familiar with," Coon said. "The atmosphere at the Ohio has always been wonderful."
Coon was introduced to "Repo!" in November 2008 when she went to a showing with friends in Jackson, Mich. Coon said she instantly wanted to be part of a theatrical version. They later had a meeting at IHOP and discussed the likelihood of pulling off the show.
"I'm sure we entertained our wait staff," Coon said.
Five months later, the first show was performed at the Ohio Theatre.
"From the moment we started watching the movie, we were very much involved with it already," Coon said.
The cast has been performing the two shows at the Collingwood Arts Center while the Lagrange Street theater was closed.
"We really did enjoy being on that stage too, but Ohio Theatre has always been our home and we've been looking forward to coming back," Coon said. "When we left the Ohio … we were under the understanding that it was going to open up again. So, we knew Collingwood was going to be a temporary home."
"Repo!" which Coon said is the "new 'Rocky Horror'," is a 2008 film starring Alexa Vega, Paul Sorvino and Paris Hilton. The rock opera musical film is from the producers of "Saw" and takes place in the year 2056, when an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet and causes organ transplants to be become regular occurances. The film follows Repo Men, skilled assassins who repossess organs from clients who have missed payments.
"Repo!" is performed by stage actors as the film is screened behind them. Audience participation is vital, as it is during performances of the 1975 movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
"Without the audience participation, these shows don't work," Coon said.
The audience is encouraged to use props, if they wish to bring them, like playing cards to be thrown at the end of "Rocky Horror" when Dr. Frank-N-Furter sings the line "… cards of sorrow …" A list of props can be found at www.rockyhorror.com/participation/proplist. Coon asks that there be no tomatoes, prunes or hot dogs used during the production.
A cast of 25 will perform "Repo!" and 20 for "Rocky Horror" on Oct. 26 with doors opening at 8 p.m. Because of suggestive content, the show is for ages 16 and older unless accompanied by an adult. "Repo!" will begin at 9 p.m. and "Rocky Horror" at midnight.
Each show costs $10 and attendees can purchase tickets for both shows for $20. Tickets are available at the door.
Coon directs both shows and plays Blind Mag in "Repo." She said she likes the sophistication of the character. She also said the smaller role is a perfect fit considering her directorial duties.
"She was a very, very well-developed character," she said.
Coon said the show will include a surprise guest who will take on the role of Eddie in "Rocky Horror." Even the cast members will not know who the mystery guest is until the day of the production.
"It will work out for the cast, it will work out for the audience, it will be absolutely beautiful," Coon said.
There is also be an optional costume contest, which will award prizes to the best and worst costume. It will take place between the two productions so both audiences can participate, Coon said. Costumes do not have to be in theme with the show; any costume will do.
V.I.P. seating is available on a first come, first serve basis for $25. This seating puts the audience on the stage, giving actors immediate access to them during scenes. VIP seats are limited to 30 and only are for those who are staying for both shows.
"For us, the really great thing is, we're bringing this group back, which started here," said OTEC Theatre Manager Jamie Leigh Sampson. "We're reconnecting with the community that already loves the theater."
OTEC was purchased in 2009 by the community development corporation United North to prevent it from being torn down or turned into an X-rated theater, Sampson said.
"They had to close it for a few years to figure out how to do fundraising and how to open it in the best possible way," Sampson said.
A projector was recently installed in the theater, which will be used for "Repo!" and "Rocky Horror." The theater underwent other renovations such as painting and lighting installations on the front of the building and construction on the roof. The theater's marquee was struck by lightning and destroyed in 2004.
"I am loving what I'm seeing," she said. "[With] the things that have been done so far, I am looking forward to what else is going to be happening."

Best Uses
This looked pretty simple and straightforward on the website. When the box arrived, I eagerly opened it and got ready to install in my raised bed. My cucumbers were waiting... Well, the instructions were incomplete, a loose green part was in the box which I figured out what it was for later. The screws are impossible to twist to attach the 2 sides. The website did not provide the little detail that I would need to find a way to secure this into the soil. I was expecting (foolish me) it to have stakes into the ground.

Does anyone know of a free host that has:
- unlimited bandwidth
- remote linking
- php support
- no ads
- ftp/browser upload
- subdomain
It's really hard to find one.
[ home page ] [ tumblr blog ] [ deviantART ]
cjb.net is too a webhost! You have to make files on your comp (such as "index.html") and then load them onto cjb.net, but that still constitutes as a host! I reccomend 1asphost.
I need a host for my IPB with no ads...
It's not if I see the ad or not, it's the visitors. And I don't like hosts that require forum hosts actually.
Yes I do, there are many. I've seen them before but I lost the link. :/
But I hate when forum posts are required.
Ones that require forum posting are sad IMHO. They should offer it for free... << Free as in not requiring any more energy than to send account details.
Yeah I know, I mean seriously, hosts that require posts must be like, "OOO!!! I got da most popular forums it's my scheme lololol!". heh
Or their forums are dead enough after buying that big vB that they have to get it back somehow.
I'd host someone if they contacted me and had a preview of their site up btw.
*Tries to hold back going crazy*
Yes, really =o
I can even give CPanel. XD
Oh lol you're right, funpic doesn't require forum posts. XD I'll be using them.
well I WISHED there was a site that hosted free domains names for FREE
wow this place really dropped off in activity huh.
:OOriginally Posted by JKaizer
Aw, seriously . . .
Eh, too late, I bought my own already . . . fudge sticks.
Unfortunately, that person can't edit the first post anymore.what about putting all the free host suggestions by the members in the first post
this would make finding one much easier
[ home page ] [ tumblr blog ] [ deviantART ]
It would be nice if you could give us a little info about your hosting^^Originally Posted by JKaizer
Don't worry, free domain names are usually free XDOriginally Posted by RandomCharizard
well, some admin/smod could do it then...Originally Posted by aNiMeAzNgUrLLH
Okay, I am updating my last suggestion. http://8thsin.com has stopped hosting for free >.< So, there is no point in you trying to host there, unless you want to buy it.
just ask me... I normally give a person 100 MB space, 6 GB bandwidth...Originally Posted by pika2000
Are there any free hosts that doesn't have ads and can b applied by children?
