Alumni to Assist Admissions on New-Student Tele-A-Thon07/14/2009

Alumni who would like to join this effort, please contact George Aiken at email@example.com.
Alumni Scholarships Awarded to Saybrook Students Erica Hamilton and Les Ernst07/14/2009
Two 2009 Alumni Scholarships of $8,000 Each Have Been Awarded to Essay or Candidate Level Students Erica Hamilton and Les Ernst
From Erica Hamilton:
Women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) are often caught on a "medical merry-go-round" of diagnosis, referral, and treatments that may or may not be effective. My dissertation study will be the development of a grounded theory on coping among women with CPP. This research will serve as the foundation for the development of a multi-dimensional model of CPP in women, one that addresses critical factors related to the physical health, mental health, and spiritual health of women with CPP. I intend for this study's findings to be used to help women with CPP step off of the medical merry-go-round and onto new healing paths that actualize their healing capacities. I plan to apply this scholarship award towards the tuition at Saybrook so that I can afford my dissertation research expenses. I am very grateful to the Saybrook Alumni Association and Council for the opportunity to receive this scholarship award. It will enable me to complete my dissertation by next spring.
From Les Ernst:
I would like to express my heart felt appreciation to the Saybrook Alumni Association for awarding me the Saybrook Alumni Association Scholarship. I intend to apply this award toward the cost of tuition and research involved in completing my dissertation, "The Use of Discernment as a Means to Authenticate Spiritual Experiences in Christian Spiritual Direction" My research will require me to conduct interviews of spiritual directors in the U.S. Without this scholarship it would not be possible for me to conduct this research or to finish my doctoral program. Thanks to the Alumni Association, I will now be able to finish my program. I anticipate completing my dissertation by the end of Spring semester. I would also like to thank the Saybrook Alumni Council, committee members, and Saybrook Alumni who have contributed gifts to make this award possible for students in need. I will endeavor to write a dissertation worthy of the gift that has been so graciously awarded to me.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Les Ernst

After Having a Breast Does Moderate Weight Gain and Loss Occur Proportionately (10/15lbs)
Weight Gain/Loss After Breast Augmentation
Doctor Answers 9
Weight Changes After Breast Augmentation
A ten lbs weight fluctuance should not have much impact on your breast appearance and shape. However, if you lose significant amount of weight, then sure you could see some changes.
Weight Gain and Weight Loss After Breast Augmentation
After breast augmentation a large portion of the breast size is made up by the silicone or saline implant. Therefore if you gain weight, a portion of your breast will gain weight, but they end up looking smaller. If you loose weight, a portion of your breast will loose weight, but they end up looking bigger. The answer to your question is that it is not exactly "proportional". From El Paso.

Weight gain or loss after breast augmentatiaon
Unless you are a small frame lady, a 10 pound weight loss or gain is not going to substantially affect your result or proportions. However, larger weight gain will result in proportional decrease in breast size and larger weight loss will result in proportional increase in breast size.
Web reference: http://www.drpaulgill.com
Weight Gain/Loss After Breast Augmentation
Regarding: "Weight Gain/Loss After Breast Augmentation
After Having a Breast Does Moderate Weight Gain and Loss Occur Proportionately (10/15lbs)"
Fortunately or unfortunately, the breasts do not undergo large volume changes with minor weight fluctuations. As a privileged site they will increase and decrease in volume but not nearly as much as other areas such as the abdomen. Having a Breast Augmentation will NOT change this response.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Changes in weight after breast surgery?
I'm not sure what you are actually asking. If it is whether you will gain weight after breast augmentation, the answer is no. This procedure does not cause weight gain. But if you are asking whether your breast weight/size will fluctuate over time the answer is yes.
Most women will experience some degree of changes in the size and volume of their breasts over time and some more than others. But actually just having the surgery should not have any effect on weight gain.
I hope that helps!
Web reference: http://www.beautybybuford.com/services/breast/augmentation-denver-colorado/
Weight Change after Augmentation Proportionate
Some women have "depot fat", which changes in relation to body weight, and some do not. If your breasts currently change with your body weight, then you can expect them to change proportionately after augmentation. If they do not pro-op, they likely will not post-op.
Breast augmenatation
Certainly with weight gain or weight loss, your breasts may change because there is a fat component to the breast as well.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Weight gain followng breast augmentation
If you are asking if your breasts will grow symmetrically and proporitonately with weight gain and loss.

This summer, Gonzaga Law 2L Jessica Placensia will be one of a very select group of students participating in the first-ever partnership institute between the Hispanic National Bar Association and Microsoft. The six-day immersive HNBA/Microsoft IP Law Institute will be given the chance to see Intellectual Property law in action in the nation's capital.
Discovering A Legal Passion
Placensia did not come to law school expecting to work in Intellectual Property law. She started Gonzaga Law with thoughts of starting in Family Law. After her first year of classes, Criminal Law and Intellectual Property law both got added to the list of potential directions for her legal career.
With such varied interests, Placensia decided to spend the summer between her 1L and 2L years exploring her options. "At the time I applied, I told them that I was presently torn between the three fields. I told them that I have my internship with the Public defender during the summer that will introduce me to criminal law; I told them that I have just completed Court Appointed Special Advocates training that would introduce me to a small aspect of family law, specifically, Child Advocacy; and I told them that I was searching for an opportunity to gain experience in IP law."
Giving Back To The Community
Being chosen as one of the top 25 applicants is an even bigger honor for Placensia, as she had originally not intended on applying because she was "just" a 1L. After encouragement from IP Professor Jessica Keiser, though, she put in her application. "I believe that they picked me because I was honest about what my intentions were. I believe they picked me because above all other things I am tied to my community. I know where I came from, I will never forget it, and I will always do my best to give back and help others. "

Request for comments/volunteers for the Aristotle Metadata Registry
This is a request for comments and volunteers for an open source ISO 11179 metadata registry I have been working on called the Aristotle Metadata Registry (Aristotle-MDR). Aristotle-MDR is a Django/Python application that provides an authoring environment for a wide variety of 11179 compliant metadata objects with a focus to being multilingual. As such, I'm hoping to raise interest around bug checkers, translators, experienced HTML and Python programmers and data modelers for mapping of ISO 11179 to DDI3.2 (and potentially other formats).
For the eager:
- The github – https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-metadata-registry/
- The demo/dev instance – http://aristotle.pythonanywhere.com/
- Screenshots – https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-metadata-registry/wiki/Screenshots
Aristotle-MDR is based on the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's METeOR Registry, an ISO 11179 compliant authoring tool that manages several thousand metadata items for tracking health, community services, hospital and primary care statistics. I have undertaken the Aristotle-MDR project to build upon the ideas behind Meteor, and extend it to improve compliance with 11179, but to also allow for access and discovery using other standards, including DDI and GSIM.
Aristotle-MDR is build on a number of existing open source frameworks, including Django, Haystack, Bootstrap and jQuery which allows it to easily scale from mobile to desktop on the client side, and scale from small shared hosting to full-scale enterprise environments on the server side. Along with the in-built authoring suite is the Haystack search platform which allows for a range of searching solutions from enterprise search such as Solr or Elastisearch, to smaller scale search engines.
The goal of the Aristotle-MDR is to conform to the ISO/IEC 11179 standard as closely as possible, so while it has a limited range of metadata objects, much like the 11179 standard it allows for the easy extension and inclusion of additional items. Among those already available, are extensions for:
- health indicators: https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/comet-indicator-registry
- datasets: https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-dataset-extensions
- glossaries: https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-glossary
Information on how to create custom objects can be found in the documentation: http://aristotle-metadata-registry.readthedocs.org/en/latest/extensions/index.html
Due to the wide variety of needs for users to access information, there is a download extension API that allows for the creation of a wide variety of download formats. Included is the ability to generate PDF versions of content from simple HTML templates, but an additional module allows for the creation of DDI3.2 (at the moment this supports a small number of objects only): https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-ddi-utils
As mentioned, this is a call for comments and volunteers. First and foremost I'd appreciate as much help as possible with my mapping of 11179 objects in DDI3.2 (or earlier versions), but also with the translations for the user interface – which is currently available in English and Swedish (thanks to Olof Olsson). Partial translations into other languages are available thanks to translations in the Django source code, but additional translations around technical terms would be appreciated. More information on how to contribute to translating is available on the wiki: https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-metadata-registry/wiki/Providing-translations.
To aid with this I've added a few blank translation files in common languages. Once the repository is forked, it should be relatively straightforward to edit these in Github and send a pull request back without having to pull down the entire codebase. These are listed by ISO 639-1 code, and if you don't see your own listed let me know and I can quickly pop a boilerplate translation file in.
If you find bugs or identify areas of work, feel free to raise them either by emailing me or by raising a bug on Github: https://github.com/aristotle-mdr/aristotle-metadata-registry/issues

Seeing Through Illusions: Making Sense of the Senses

Visual illusions have the capacity to both puzzle and delight: whether the swirling colours and vibrations that appear from simple concentric patterns, or surreal tricks of perspective, or the ephemeral shapes that appear as we stare into a random scattering of dots. They remind us that, contrary to the experience of everyday life, what we perceive isnt always true. In "Seeing Through Illusion" renowned neuropsychologist Richard Gregory explores what visual illusions can tell us about how our brains perceive the world. Looking at optical tricks and many other extraordinary phenomena, Gregory explains how scientists use them to peel back the normal processes of perception, and to reveal how the brain performs the remarkable feat of representing the real world with the kind of richness and success which we experience every day and take for granted. And these visual illusions can not only tell us about how our brain works, but they can also reveal its past. For as our nervous systems evolved, so the ways in which they perceived the visual world grew more sophisticated, moving from simple stimuli of light and darkness to the complex levels of cognition we have today. Traces of earlier stages remain buried within our brains like stratified layers, laid down through evolutionary time, and we learn how the study of different kinds of illusions helps us to glimpse these layers. Interweaving science with reflections on art and philosophy, fascinating psychological case-studies, and some amazing visual phenomena, this book reveals that we really can see through illusions.

Customize you home screen with Madonna Widget.About MadonnaMadonna directed her second feature film, W.E., a biographical film about the affair between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson; it was co-written with Alek Keshishian. The film premiered out of the main competition at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, where it received mixed reviews. Critical response to the film has been overwhelmingly negative, as reflected at 'Rotten Tomatoes.' Madonna also contributed the ballad "Masterpiece" for the film's soundtrack, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.Madonna released the Material Girl clothing line, which she designed with her daughter, Lourdes. The 1980s inspired clothing line, borrowed from Madonna's punk-girl style when she rose to fame in the 1980s, was released under the Macy's label. Madonna also opened a series of fitness centers around the world named Hard Candy Fitness.The gyms are a partnership between Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary and Mark Mastrov, the founder and CEO of 24 Hour Fitness. The first of the gyms was opened at Mexico City in November 2010, as Madonna believed that the city served as "a great test market before bringing the gyms to cities around the world." In November 2011, Madonna and MG Icon announced the release of a second fashion brand called Truth or Dare by Madonna to include footwear, underclothing, and accessories. The brand represents a second partnership between MG Icon and Macy's.INSTRUCTIONS:To add a widget, go to widgets menu, choose widget to add widget, hold and drag to empty space.* Legal / Credits: *The Comic book/Comic book name, images, characters, logo and other details are not created by us but by their respective owners.* Advertising *We include a monetization platform to keep this app 100% FREE*Ads Agreement.*Creating an app takes time and money, In order to keep creating great (and free!) apps, we are using a new search service to monetize our apps.

The Buffalo Sabres already are banged up and they got even more bad news today, as coach Lindy Ruff said center Ville Leino will miss "weeks" with a lower-body injury suffered in Tuesday's game against Ottawa.
Leino played 14:49 against the Senators, but just one shift, totaling 56 seconds, in the final 9:25 of the game.
Matt Ellis skated in Leino's place today at practice.
The Sabres already are missing forwards Brad Boyes, Nathan Gerbe, Jochen Hecht, Patrick Kaleta and Corey Tropp.
The only good news is defenseman Tyler Myers, who hasn't played since Nov. 19 due to a broken wrist, told reporters he hopes to return sometime around the holiday break.

Here are ten things you should remember to save yourself from a plumbing crisis: Learn where to shut off the water – You can stop the main water supply to your home from the meter. There are separate valves to turn it off and on, so learn where they are and how they are operated. […]

Monday marked the closure deadline provided by US Attorney John Walsh to Colorado collectives located within 1,000 feet of schools.. All 25 collectives complied and either relocated or closed for good.
This was Walsh's second round of warning letters to collectives, and some were confused to find that they were included on the list. Three collectives that received letters were located close to the University of Colorado Boulder campus, which only adult learners, not children, attend. In addition, the first round of letters targeted a number of collectives near the University of Denver and Regis.
In the past, Walsh explained that his motivation was to protect the children in their communities. However, his spokesman, Jeff Dorschner, has now clarified that Walsh wants to protect all students; both children in K-12 schools as well as adults in college settings. Dorschner explained, "Universities are considered schools. This is part of the definition of the Drug Free School Zone Act." The Act that Dorschner refers to details punishment for drug-offenses within 1,000 feet of a school.
ARTICLE: US Attorney Tells 25 More Colorado Collectives to Move or Close
Dorschner added, "The US Attorney's goal from the beginning was to essentially enforce the enhanced penalties regarding the distribution and manufacture of marijuana in or near schools or colleges– and the purpose of that is to protect students from marijuana stores."
US Attorney Walsh has promised that a third round of letters will be coming, though he hasn't specified when they will go out or who exactly they will target. In a response letter to Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett, who opposes the crackdowns, Walsh explained that the crackdowns will continue "until all marijuana dispensaries in Colorado operating within 1,000 feet of a school have been warned and ceased operation."
It should be noted that Walsh seems to be operating at his own directive. In the same letter to Garnett, Walsh wrote that the program, "is not at the direction of Washington, DC, but at my direction as US Attorney and as a Coloradoan."

Prep girls' basketball: Desert Hills looks for elusive state title
The Desert Hills girls' basketball team is in a familiar position heading into the Class 3A playoffs.
State runners-up the last two years, the Thunder are again among the contenders for the title after finishing the season with just one loss and the Region 9 title.
So could this finally be their year?
Coach Chris Allred said the Thunder have several players who've played in each of the last two playoff runs, and he's hoping that experience will finally get them over the hump.
"There's some motivation there," Allred said. "They have a great perspective of what it takes to be successful at the state tournament. They don't want to squander an opportunity."
Region 10 champion Morgan will challenge the Thunder, however. The Trojans also finished with just one loss to Timpview, the same team that beat Desert Hills and blew out the majority of their competition.
Allred said those two teams, as well as Juan Diego, which finished second in Region 10, will be the favorites to take state. But region champions Bear River and North Sanpete also are looming.
"I'd say that as you look at it, those are probably the three [teams] to look for," he said. "But there are always crazy things that happen. Whoever can get hot can win it."
While the Class 3A tournament appears to be controlled by three teams, the Class 2A tournament is up for grabs.
Emery coach Dean Stilson said he could see any team in the field ending up with the trophy. Top teams include region champions Emery, South Summit, Delta and Rowland Hall.
"It's a great atmosphere for everyone to be in," Stilson said. "You've got a great opportunity and you hope things go your way. You might see some games go down to the wire."
Two teams appear to have the inside track to the title in Class 1A. Panguitch finished the season undefeated, including a 12-0 mark in Region 20. Meanwhile defending state champion St. Joseph lost just one game, its season opener.
The Bobcats and the Jayhawks are on opposite sides of the bracket, meaning they could meet up in Saturday's championship game.
The other remaining top-seeded team in Class 1A is Rich, the winner Region 17. Monticello, the Region 19 champ, was unexpectedly routed 55-30 by Bryce Valley in Wednesday's first round.

Officials in southern Kentucky plan to sign a petition requesting a traffic light at a busy intersection.
The intersection at Kentucky 192 and the Hal Rogers Parkway in Laurel County was the site of a deadly accident earlier this month.
The Times-Tribune reports the Laurel County Fiscal Court agreed to sign a petition urging the installation of a traffic signal at the sight.
Officials say the proposed light would replace flashing caution lights .

In conjuring up the title of this blog post, I was struck by how much it reads like a magazine headline—the kind you see while on the supermarket check-out line. As sensationalistic as it sounds, it comprises the main takeaway from Dell's nationwide workshops, "How to Bolster the Role of the CIO"—in a time of increasing business and economic change, the role of the CIO is changing in exciting ways. Leveraging that change requires starting with a conversation that CIOs, CEOs and other members of the C-suite should be having, but aren't.
First, the background: Dell hosted a series of workshops attended by more than 130 CIOs who contributed more than 700 hours debating the future role of the CIO. The basis of that conversation was around the renewed movement towards the decentralization of IT in favor of business-unit delivery of information technology. We discovered this via some original research done with Harvard Business Review and the Economist Intelligence Unit, as well as by observing the commentary of industry thought leaders and exemplars. Factoring in the growing reliance on externally delivered cloud-based technologies and the increasing emphasis on services and OPEX versus CAPEX and products, it has become clear that CIOs must adapt or risk being marginalized. Increasingly, the CIO and IT must be seen less as merely developing and deploying technology, and more as a source of innovation and transformation that delivers business value, leveraging technology instead of directly delivering it. In the end, the CIO must be responsible if technology enables, facilitates or accelerates competition that the C-suite didn't see coming, or allows the enterprise to miss opportunities because the C-suite did not understand the possibilities technology offered.
This changing image starts in the C-suite. Currently, CIOs are not engaged in the strategic decision-making that goes on at the executive level. Only 46 percent of CEOs think their CIOs understand the business. To be fair to the CIO, CEOs have created this problem by emphasizing efficiency and cost-cutting over value creation. However, time and time again, statistics show that CIO and C-suite alignment drives financial success. Economic performance for organizations whose CIOs were part of the overall development of strategy outpaced that of other organizations by a scale of two to one. It is clear that CIOs must lead their organization in providing balance between efficiency and efficacy.
CIOs must be an integral and vocal part of conversations on new ventures and resource allocation. The role and effect of technology should be a part of conversations on business decisions, and the CIO should have a pertinent and relevant point of view. In this way, the role of the CIO must be strategic instead of tactical.
Every time the C-suite decides to start a new venture—whether it's business- or IT-related—a CIO needs to ask three major questions:
If the answer to all of these questions is "no," you shouldn't be doing it. It's that simple.
Once these questions are answered, executives can develop an affirmative strategy that involves identifying old behaviors to give up, new behaviors to take up, and what to do differently. That strategy will be shaped by four trends or forces that are rapidly changing our world, or, as we call them, "the 2.0s" (Enterprise, Management, Economics and Capitalism, and IT.)
These next steps make up the major takeaways from the roundtable discussions at our workshops, which I will be detailing in future blog posts. We will also be continuing the dialogue at the CIO Leadership Event, May 5-7, 2013 in Boca Raton, FL. Join us.
Please stay tuned and contribute your thoughts to the discussion. We look forward to talking more with you.

Psychophysiology is a cutting edge method for media research that uses physiological responses, like heart rate, to measure psychological processes, like paying attention. Psychophysiologists have done the dirty work that enables media researchers like myself to use validated physiological responses to measure for instance how much mental effort individuals invest in processing different kinds of media content. Thanks to the work of psychophysiologists I can conduct experiments in the PRIME LAB using measures like heart rate, skin conductance (how much your palm sweats) and facial EMG (measurement of facial muscles involved in expressing emotion) and draw conclusions about how specific features of media content (e.g. writing style of news stories, highly emotional video content, graphics, etc.) affect emotional responses, attention, and memory.
So, how does this play out in generating insight into effective media content? In a study presented at the annual meeting of the International Communication Association in 2006, MU Journalism Alum Katie Roehrick and I used psychophysiology to index attention paid to televised political ads. The ads varied in production pacing (number of cuts and edits) and whether they were attack or non-attack ads. Contrary to our expectations we found that slow-paced, non-attack ads were most attention grabbing due to slower heart rate observed during exposure to those ads. This made us scratch our heads, wondering why, so we went back and looked at our slow-paced, non-attack ads. We noticed that most of them simply featured a candidate talking directly into the camera. Guess what, it turns out our brains are hard-wired to pay attention when it seems someone is talking directly to us even in the "media world." In my opinion it would be nice if politicians would tune into this study because it suggests that an effective advertising strategy could be simply looking into the camera and telling your constituents your views and what you intend to do. Wouldn't that be a nice change in our political dialogue for the upcoming election?...but I digress.
I've had an incredible adventure using psychophysiology for the past 17 years to study how the brain processes media. This knowledge is being put to the test in exciting ways during my Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellowship. I'm exploring how redesigning online news and advertising to better reflect how the brain is structured to process information can ultimately lead to journalism that does a better job of informing the public while also economically thriving. As I've said in earlier posts, I invite you to join in following this adventure. I welcome any contact you want to have with me through RJI. I will also be looking for news industry partners willing to experiment by redesigning aspects of their websites starting this January. The process of writing my book on psychophysiology sparked the ideas behind my fellowship. I hope you will join me in developing ideas that will hopefully help promote great journalism!

Fresh from its recent success at the Le Mans 24 Hours, Aston Martin has pulled the covers off another racy addition to its evergreen V8 Vantage line-up.
Following on from the N400 and N420 special editions, the Aston Martin Vantage N430 adds a number of motorsport-inspired touches to the exterior, an even more luxurious interior, a lower kerbweight and the beefier engine from the range-topping Vantage S.
The changes to the body are easy to spot, and run to graphite grey forged-alloy wheels, plenty of gloss-black detailing and distinctive contrasting colour stripes for the front grille surround and roof pillars. Inside, the N430 is enhanced by the addition of carbon fibre inlays for the sills and gear-lever surround, plus carbon/Kevlar seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara and embroidered with the N430 logo.
Step inside, and styling upgrades include the addition of graphite grey, forged-alloy, 10-spoke wheels, plus gloss-black detailing and colour stripes for the grille surround and roof pillars. Step inside, and the carbon and Kevlar seats are trimmed in leather and Alcantara and embossed with the N430 logo.
Despite the luxurious cabin finish, Aston has managed to shave 20kg from the V8 Vantage's kerbweight. In combination with the brawnier 430bhp 4.7-litre V8 engine, this results in a claimed 0-62mph time of only 4.8 seconds and a heady 190mph top speed.
As with the standard car, the N430 has a long throttle pedal travel and the powerplant responds lazily at low revs. However, once the rev counter needle swings past 3,500rpm, the acceleration becomes much more urgent and is accompanied by a spine-tingling bark from the exhausts.
Aston has constantly evolved the Vantage since its debut in 2005, but the two-seater is starting to show its age. Plenty of muscle is required for the steering, manual gearshift and clutch pedal, meaning cross-town commutes can become a chore, while the cabin design looks a little dated.
Yet on the open road the N430 comes alive. Its balanced rear-wheel-drive handling, strong grip and characterful V8 make every journey something to savour.
"Step inside, and styling upgrades include the addition of graphite grey, forged-alloy, 10-spoke wheels, plus gloss-black detailing and colour stripes for the grille surround"
Aston have got a bit of a problem if the wheels are on the inside.
I think Aston have a problem - full stop, I do wish them all the best for the future. Unfortunately I cannot help as my budget only stretches to a 2009 Focus :)
Gorgeous. *Goes to empty piggy bank*

Document Number: 9304Bitter Pill, Better Formula: Toward a Single, Fair and Equitable Formula for ESEA Title I, Part A - Federal policymakers and education officials, aware of the potential ferocity of a "formula fight" tread with care when it comes to revising the way Title I, Part A of ESEA distributes funds. But the authors feel the formula driving Title I-A grants require a major overhaul because, in short, they favor wealthy states and enormous school districts. Many schools serving high concentrations of poor students are being shortchanged. (Center for American Progress, February 2010)...

Freeport Area School Board considers drilling proposal
The Freeport Area School District is set to allow drilling for natural gas on vacant land that it owns.
The school board on Wednesday night heard a proposal by Renee Anderson of the Tucker Arensberg law firm dealing with an undeveloped, 30-acre plot of land adjacent to the South Buffalo Elementary School that "has the potential of being leased."
MDS Energy would drill the wells and the school district would be in line for royalty payments of 15.5 percent should natural gas be found.
No drilling would be done on the elementary school property.
But if a Marcellus shale well is drilled, horizontal fracking as far as a mile below the surface could go under the elementary school. The company also may decide to drill a conventional gas well instead.
Anderson cautioned that gas wells drilled in that area have come up empty.
"It's a fairly good royalty since it's a dry well area," Anderson said.
School district Business Manager Ryan Manzer said the school board plans to vote in June.
Such moves to extract natural gas from beneath public land have been controversial. Many protested Allegheny County's decision this month to allow gas to be extracted from beneath Deer Lakes Park in Frazer and West Deer.
• The school board thanked student representative Hayley Davis for her two years of service as a liaison between the school board and the student body.

Inter-Lakes proposal to retain unspent funds is a scary idea
Published DateTo the editor,
A conundrum has arisen in the Inter-Lakes School District that I just can't figure out, no matter how many meetings I attend or questions I ask. In full disclosure, however, I admit that I'm not great with numbers and formulas.
The proposed budget, if everything is passed at the Annual District meeting on Wednesday, March 6, includes $138,609 for the Support Staff agreement, $562,761 of operating budget increases and $499,319 of operating revenue decreases, for a net assessment increase of $1,200,689. No, that's not even the conundrum — when has the school budget ever not included big increases, despite declining enrollment?
What has me most bothered right now is the page in the packet entitled, "WHAT DOES THIS BUDGET MEAN FOR MY TAX BILL?" Evidently, it is projected, that for every $250,000 of property value owned in Meredith, the school taxes will increase by $197.24. For the same property in Center Harbor, the tax bill will go down by $27.57 and folks in Sandwich will see a decrease of $124.95 for every $250,000 assessment.
In looking through the last 15 years of annual reports, I can't find a time when the residents of only one town paid for all of the increases — there have been various combinations of two towns paying up and one getting a decrease, but the burden has never been put on one town. You're welcome, Sandwich and Center Harbor! This begs the questions, "Why?" and "If there is a surplus returned to the towns at the end of the year, will it all go to Meredith?" I bet not.
Also, a big concern is Article 7 on the School District Warrant: "To see if the District will vote to authorize, indefinitely until rescinded, to retain year-end unassigned general funds ...at 2.5 percent of the current fiscal year's net assessment..." This means that if there is a surplus, this year more than $400,000, it can be put into a fund balance, collected indefinitely and used in the future to pay for emergencies or reduce the tax rate.
I think that is one scary idea. it would probably be fine if we were a one town district, because towns retain general funds all the time, but it could create a real unfair balance within a school cooperative, especially for the timing of future returned money to reduce a tax rate. The Inter-Lakes School District has Expendable Trust Funds already in place for emergencies, wish list encumbrances already come out of end of year surplus funds, and usually something left over has annually been given back to taxpayers. We don't need Article 7.
Please come to the meeting on March 6 at 7 p.m. in the I-LHS gym for information and voting, and also to welcome our new superintendent and say goodbye to long time board member Jack Carty!

Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Financeby Nouriel Roubini

Publisher Comments:
and#147;The next financial collapse will resembleand#160;nothing in history. . . . Deciding uponand#160;the best course to follow will requireand#160;comprehending a minefield of risks, whileand#160;poised at a crossroads, pondering theand#160;death of the dollar.and#8221;
The international monetary system has collapsed threeand#160;times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971.and#160;Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: war,and#160;civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of theand#160;global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimedand#160;author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapseand#160;is rapidly approachingand#151;and why this time, nothing lessand#160;than the institution of money itself is at risk.
The American dollar has been the global reserveand#160;currency since the end of the Second World War. If theand#160;dollar fails, the entire international monetary system willand#160;fail with it. No other currency has the deep, liquid poolsand#160;of assets needed to do the job.
Optimists have always said, in essence, that thereand#8217;sand#160;nothing to worry aboutand#151;that confidence in the dollarand#160;will never truly be shaken, no matter how high ourand#160;national debt or how dysfunctional our government. Butand#160;in the last few years, the risks have become too big toand#160;ignore. While Washington is gridlocked and unable toand#160;make progress on our long-term problems, our biggestand#160;economic competitorsand#151;China, Russia, and the oilproducingand#160;nations of the Middle Eastand#151;are doing everythingand#160;possible to end U.S. monetary hegemony. Theand#160;potential results: Financial warfare. Deflation. Hyperinflation.and#160;Market collapse. Chaos.
Rickards offers a bracing analysis of these andand#160;other threats to the dollar. The fundamental problem isand#160;that money and wealth have become more and moreand#160;detached. Money is transitory and ephemeral, and it mayand#160;soon be worthless if central bankers and politicians continueand#160;on their current path. But true wealth is permanentand#160;and tangible, and it has real value worldwide.
The author shows how everyday citizens who saveand#160;and invest have become guinea pigs in the centraland#160;bankersand#8217; laboratory. The worldand#8217;s major financial playersand#151;national governments, big banks, multilateraland#160;institutionsand#151;will always muddle through by patchingand#160;together new rules of the
game. The real victims of theand#160;next crisis will be small investors who assumed that whatand#160;worked for decades will keep working.
Fortunately, itand#8217;s not too late to prepare for the comingand#160;death of money. Rickards explains the power ofand#160;converting unreliable money into real wealth: gold, land,and#160;fine art, and other long-term stores of value. As he writes:and#160;and#147;The coming collapse of the dollar and the internationaland#160;monetary system is entirely foreseeable. . . . Only nationsand#160;and individuals who make provision today will surviveand#160;the maelstrom to come.and#8221;
"Roubini (Bailouts or Bail-ins), a professor of economics at NYU, was greeted with skepticism when he warned a 2006 meeting of the IMF that a deep recession was imminent. Along with economics historian Mihm, (A Nation of Counterfeiters) Roubini provides an in-depth analysis of the role of crises in capitalist economies from a historical perspective. With thumbnail sketches of nineteenth and twentieth century economic thought from Smith, Keynes, and others, they provide a context for understanding financial markets and the ways in which bankers and politicians relate to them. The authors also offer a theoretical context for understanding the current economic crisis and for using it as 'an object lesson... in how to foresee them, prevent them, weather them, and clean up after them.' Dismissing the 'quaint beliefs' that markets are 'self-regulating,' they take issue with the simplistic populist assumption that the present crisis was caused by greed or something 'as inconsequential as subprime mortgages.' They blame Alan Greenspan's refusal to use the power of the Fed to dampen unbridled speculation, choosing instead to pump 'vast quantities of easy money into the economy and keep it there for too long.' This will be a useful guide for readers attempting to get a handle on the present crisis." Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
The sequel to national bestseller Currency Wars predicts the next collapse of theand#160;monetary system and shows investors how to survive it
The international monetary system collapsed three times in the past hundred yearsand#151;in 1914, 1939, and 1971and#151;and the next collapse is already in sight. This time the dollar wonand#8217;t save us. In fact, the dollar itself will be the cause of the crisis.
Central bankers and the head of the IMF candidly admit that monetary policy is in unchartered waters. The world is witnessing no less than a global money experiment. Savers, investors, and everyday citizens are the guinea pigs in the central bankersand#8217; laboratory.
Bestselling author James Rickards explains why money and wealth have now become separated. Money is transitory, ephemeral, and may soon be worthless if central bankers continue on their current path. Wealth is permanent, tangible, and has real value worldwide. Gold, fine art, and land are forms of wealth. Investors who convert paper money into real wealth will survive the coming monetary maelstrom. But those who do not will lose what they have.

"A succinct, lucid and compelling account . . . Essential reading." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini electrified the financial community by predicting the current crisis before others in his field saw it coming. This myth-shattering book reveals the methods he used to foretell the current crisis and shows how those methods can help us make sense of the present and prepare for the future. Using an unconventional blend of historical analysis with masterful knowledge of global economics, Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm, a journalist and professor of economic history, present a vital and timeless book that proves calamities to be not only predictable but also preventable and, with the right medicine, curable.

Maritime Centre Newcastle -
After more than two centuries of operation, the Port of Newcastle remains a globally recognised hub.
Explore the rich maritime history of Newcastle and the Hunter River, and learn about the Port's importance to the development of Australia from the early days of European settlement to the present time.
Since 1972, the Newcastle Maritime Museum has collected interesting artefacts, while at historic Fort Scratchley. Now relocated in the beautifully restored heritage harbour front wharf building, this innovative, world-class Maritime Centre with the port as its backdrop, will transport you via a series of interactive exhibits into the story of this harbour and the people and events associated with it. Meanwhile, outside on the water the working life of this dynamic port continues.


text: Just thought I would post my mini review of this esc. I had bought a Carboncore X500 quad frame for a smaller ship just to fly around but was having a hard time finding a way to install everything clean. Ordered one of these and it fit perfect between the top and bottom plate with plenty of wire lead to reach the motors with the wires ran through the arms. Had its maiden flight this evening and I have to say it works great and makes for a clean install on smaller quads no need for distribution board. I'm running Ipower 2217Q and the motors and the esc barely got warm after flying a 4000mah 3s pack. Naza controller. I am no way affiliated with any of the above just a happy user.

I seem to be having problems getting the Routing/Unlimited Swiftlet to load properly the first time deployed or on router startup. Instead the 'single connection' variant seems to load.
If I 'un'deploy the switflet and redeploy it in a running router, the proper swiftlet then loads.
I am using the default router1 config provided with the SwiftMQ Router (v4.6.0) install. Is there some configuration item I should adjust to affect the load behavior on startup?

A&E launches the single greatest reality series about an aikido champion/actor turned cop this Wednesday with Steven Seagal: Lawman (aka Fat Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans). For those not in the know, Steven Seagal has volunteered with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department for the past 20 years. This show chronicles his main duties giving martial arts training to the officers as well as assisting with arrests. It's almost just like COPS, the only difference being the perps are arrested by the man on the poster they have framed in their living rooms.
Have a look at an earlier preview or check out the brand new, extended preview below. I'm looking forward to the cliffhanger season finale when Seagal's rogue tactics require that he hand over his badge, never ending donut bowl, and gun.

We have a winner!
So, who won the YEAR OF YARN (ever-so-kindly donated by Natalie)?? I know you've all been on the edges of your seats, biting your fingernails to the nub, so I'll put you out of your misery….
The winner is Isobel Murdock!
When we gave her the good news, she was overjoyed. Sobbing into the phone, she started to thank all the people who had helped her on the difficult journey to where she is today, almost too emotional to speak… Well, that's not quite true, but she did say, "WOW! I'm shocked! I don't often win anything. Usually I'm one of those people who buys raffle tickets but rarely wins anything, or when I do the choice is down to the naff things at the bottom of the pile!"
So congratulations Isobel, hope you enjoy it and send us some pics of what you turn the new stash 😉

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate writer
There comes a time in every government entity's annual schedule that it must undergo a financial audit. On Sept. 14 the Recreation Transportation Special Service District (RTSSD) was presented its audit by Smuin, Rich and Marsing (SRM) accounting out of Price.
Despite the district's recent expenditures and numerous projects, it appears to be in good overall health with a general fund balance of about $6.4 million. This money represents 2008 as a year and although the district does carry debts, SRM indicated that they are being managed appropriately.
"This board is definitely moving in the right direction," said the presenting SRM accountant.
According to SRM's report the district increased its assets by $3 million for the year. This figure however does not take into account some of the district's more recent expenditures such as one of the issues surrounding a $150,000 change order for electrical equipment at the new senior citizens center.
The change order, which was brought to the attention of the board during a previous meeting by member Neil Breinholt, was again discussed because the issue could result with the center having a sub-par audio visual system. This technology has advanced rapidly over the last two years and the board wants to make sure the center has the latest system available, but would like to avoid a $150,000 charge by simply updating the specs. This item however, was still unclear and a solution will only come after more specifics can be gathered.
There have also been a few sub-contractor issues with the center because some of the bids for electrical work have been low. Certain district members question how reasonable those bids are. One contractor in particular was under question because they had around seven infractions in the state of Utah.
"We're not asking anyone to change the bids," said member Bill Krompel. "(however) If it's legal I prefer we go with our local contractors because we have confidence in them."
Attorney Nick Sampinos advised the board to hold an executive session at a later date with the architect so that some better details of what should be done can be hammered out. Although the complications were numerous, according to Krompel the project is thus far under budget and even if the change order must be accepted, he said it would be better than fixing things post construction.
Regardless, the center is moving forward with foundations being dug and holes being drilled for geothermal heating.
Another pressing problem facing the district is the Nine Mile Road dust suppressant plan. This dust has been a subject of controversy since the road borders historic ancient Indian artifacts. The plan for the district is currently to support the 6.5 miles of graveling of the road as well as spend $67,000 to suppress dust on another 13 miles of the passage.
"I drove up there this weekend and there are some dusty spots," said Krompel.
Lastly Tom King, manager of the Carbon Golf Course, presented the club's overall situation reporting that while play is down, he is working on promotions to entice golfers to enjoy the final weeks of the course's operation. King also said that the course intends to fix its parking lot, which is in some state of disrepair. That effort will cost $11,000, with the Carbon Country Club chipping in 30 percent of the cost.

Scott Horton Interviews Victor Navasky
Victor Navasky discusses his new book Mission Accomplished: Or How We Won the War in Iraq, how all of the "experts," including John McCain, got it all wrong on the Iraq invasion, the war's dozens of "turning points" according to the White House and it's pundits and how the same propaganda tactics are being used against Iran.
MP3 here. (36:06)
Victor Navasky is the publisher emeritus of The Nation and the President or CEO of the Institute for Expertology.
7 Responses to "Victor Navasky"
They (the neocons) knew what was going to happen in Iraq. It was an old Israeli plan from 1982 Oded Yinon. The whole point was to drive Iraq into warring factions which they knew damn well would happen. The point of the war is not to "win" as in end the violence, the point of war is to prolong violence as long as possible. They wrote it all out, why they wanted a war and how they would do it. BEFORE PNAC were the Israeli Clean break papers and the Oded plan, written and read by the same people as PNAC.
I don't understand the glorification of Colin Powell either. He aways was an idiot they act like he just made one mistake at the end of his career. Bullshit he was always an idiot. The "experts" all did what they are supposed to do they did the same thing about Frum's speech the "axis of evil" which Bush read and right afterward even Democrats were saying things like that was brilliant (because the MSM told them it was) and the line was well Bush is an idiot but the people around him are really smart. News flash yeh Bush is an idiot but the people around him don't live in bizzaro world. Absolute nut cases and Bush's father knew that.
ps The French were right. (again)
My point is that for all the junk the neocons said they knew it was not true. They are not as stupid as they sound. They know its crap and they know that the propaganda will work well enough to allow them to continue it.
Chilling end, Scott. Great work as always.
They know that Iran will be a complete disaster too and they don't care. Israel is first second and third for them. They don't believe the stuff they are saying about Iran, they are just searching for things to say. We know they knew they were lying about Iraq based on the forges signatures and the re-vamp old Israeli intel that they went back over in the MSM from the 1990s to be used in the 2001-2003 to justify invasion. CHemicals under the palaces (1993) mobile labs (1997) anthrax (1990s) nukes (1998) they just re-used the same lies only thins time post 911 with a willing media and a president ready to go from the day he got into office. Hell Bush had bombed Iraq 27 days after swearing into office (Feb 2001) and that was before 911. Of course 911 had nothing to do with Iraq notr did it allow the war. American people have been dumb and willing enough to go along with wars for our whole TV era history. Bush's father invaded 3 countries Iraq, Somalia, Panama, and CLinton had his wars too. Nothing changed really. Just more people hate Bush because of the Internet more people are now aware of what is ALWAYS going on.
I agree with you about that. They know they are full of it. Heck, Gareth Porter has been debunking the "Iran is killing our guys in Iraq" lie approx once a week for a year and a half straight. The major media voices who continue to ignore his work are as complicit in the next war as everyone now finally understands they were in the war we have now.
iran is in the same no win situation as iraq was if iran complied with every un or us mandate they would still be bombed it does not matter what iran does or does not do they can not avoid a us-israeli attack
