Main Street Mall renovation awaits approval from city
May 17, 2013
Plans to redevelop the Main Street Mall, one of the largest buildings on the street, have been on the drawing board for years. But the property, valued at nearly $6.2 million, according to the Summit County Assessor's office, has changed owners delaying any sort of development on the high-profile location on the 300 block of Main Street. But the new owner is ready to move forward.
The owner of the property is listed as AG-WIP 333 Main Street Owner, LLC, according to Summit County property records. Angelo Gordon and Company, a law firm based out of New York City is representing the unnamed, out-of-state owners, who hired Elliott Workgroup Architecture to carry out construction.
According to Craig Elliott, principal architect at the local firm, who is working with the current owner, more than paint, will be used during redevelopment, but construction isn't going to start tomorrow. Applications have recently been submitted by the firm to the Park City Planning Department. Once the revitalization plans are reviewed and accepted by the city – construction will commence.
"The plan is to start building by the end of the summer," Elliott said during an interview. "The existing zoning on the building is designed for commercial use. Since we are putting in residential areas, the process takes a little bit longer. As soon as we get the thumbs up from the city we are ready to get to work."
The 333 Main Street Project includes two applications that have been submitted to the city, according to Senior Planner Kirsten Whetstone at the Park City Planning Department.
The first application is a request to modify the approved Historic District Design Review on Main Street, which includes exterior changes on the Park Avenue side of the building's roof top gardens, patios/terraces and additional landscaping.

"Our goal is to knit the street together," Elliott said. "The way this property worked in the past as an interior mall was all wrong. Main Street is the mall, and we want to keep it that way."
Elliott, who has lived in the area for over 20 years, said he is excited to see the project move forward and agrees the redevelopment has been a long time coming.
"Approval has already been made to change the retail front on Main Street to match the rest of the street," Whetstone said. "This will allow store fronts to reach the sidewalk on the street, keeping the consistency with the rest of the Main Street businesses. The remaining portion of the project should be decided on soon."
The second is a request to change the non-conforming use for the HR2 portion of the existing building, modifying the second and third floors from commercial to residential areas. The HCB zoned portion of these floors will now house residential condominium units. A penthouse unit is also proposed to be constructed on the Main Street side on the fourth floor.
Total number of residential units will be 15, ranging in size from 1,346 to 3,559 square feet. Total commercial floor area is 36,283 square feet on the first floor.
"Residential parking is already taken care of through an agreement with the city tied to the construction of the China Bridge parking structure," Whetstone said.
There will be 56 spaces inside the parking structure, along with 10 spaces accessed from Swede Alley at one of the tunnel locations for residents, added Whetstone.
But for now the lights are off, the doors are shut and the last business has packed up shop in the vacant four-story building, leaving other Main Street business owners like Doug Hollinger, of Park City Clothing Company, nervous the vacant stretch will be bad for everybody.
"A coat of paint would do something," Hollinger said. "We really need to get this project rolling. Even if they would have started yesterday, I don't think they would be done this year. This closed area is making the whole town look bad."
The building has lost tenants over the years – mostly because of leasing agreement changes made by past owners said Hollinger, who moved his business to 558 Main Street.
The store opened for business in 1994 and was originally located inside of the mall, until property leases were cut to 90-day contracts, an agreement Hollinger who orders product sold in the store a year in advance says he couldn't agree to nearly four years ago.
"We didn't leave the mall because business was bad," Hollinger said. "You can't do business month-to-month in retail. When our lease came up, so did this property. Once in a while you get a royal flush and we really lucked out the way things fell together for us."
Not all of the businesses located strategically across from the Egyptian Theater were so lucky. Stores for clothing, art and jewelry, along with Shabu, an Asian fusion restaurant located on the second floor and Café Brilliant, have been forced to leave.
According to Elliott, contracts will not be signed with prospective retail and restaurant clients that will fill the first floor until the applications have been approved by the city.
"It's not good for anybody having all this empty space, except maybe the pigeons," Hollinger said. "The overhaul will be accepted and I hope the new owners can pull this off. It's exciting to see three years of indecision come to an end."

text: OK here is go... This is my first post i'm not a troll and i'm not looking for a fight to start. I see that this is a very open minded board and maybe prius owners have test drove the volt and a few have bought them. Here is where I'm at. I own a 2005 Subaru Baja i'm getting 23-25 MPG spending about 70 a week on gas right now. I love the truck and do burn wood so i have used the trucklet for moving fire wood and the like. I'm a firefighter who lives 52 miles one way from the station I work at mostly highway miles I do a 24 hour shift so I would be able to plug in. The rest of my travels are under 16 miles one way My wife has a brand new Traverse which is nice because we have a new baby and a 10 year old so having that room is a must. Now here is the deal The Volt $42,000 , $1000 from our gm card and what ever we have to put down and the trade in of my Baja figuring about 30K on the loan. makes a payment of about 500 a month and i would not get the car till December so I could use the tax brake at the cars payment for the first year or so. Also I would get a trailer for behind the Wife's truck for yard work and the like. The Prius figuring I'd get one of the base models $25000 I could get it sooner and if i wanted to get a small truck (new even) for $22000. Now the type of driver I am normally i do like to get on her and go but lately I've really try to get the most out of my MPG. in my wife's truck she get 16.9 out of the instant MPG (i know it's horrendous) but I've gotten 21.9 when I've taken it to work (once). SO here I am.. I believe I can get where i'm going mostly on the volt battery and have no problem using very little gas. BUT I'll have to wait or I can get the Pruis hyper mileage the sucker and get my savings now.. I'm not sure what to do and the Volt boards are SOOOOO slow there is hardly any posting on them. Also those who have the Volt how do you like them and are there any problems you have seen. Thank you. Please no catching on fire jokes and the like just looking for a fresh opinion

Thua Thien-Hue province has sold its 50 percent stake in the Hue Brewery Company to Carlsberg, making the Danish beer giant the 100 percent owner.
The deal is valued a total of 1.8 trillion VND (93 million USD) for its two breweries and the Huda Hue brand name.
The provincial government decided to sell its stake because it did not have the money to invest in boosting production and increasing the company's market share.
Hue Brewery was established in 1990 and became a joint venture with Carlsberg Group four years later with the two sides' stakes valued at 9 million USD each.
The company, with an annual output of 200 million litres, has an 8 percent market share of the Vietnam beer market, and is one of the top four brewers in the country along with Sabeco, Habeco and Vietnam Beer.
It hopes to expand its market share to 15 percent by 2015 and the deal, its general director Nguyen Mau Chi explained, is to help the company fulfill its strategy since the provincial government could not find the required financial resources.
An additional investment of 2.5 trillion VND (119 million USD) would be needed, he said.
The chairman of the Thua Thien-Hue People's Committee, Nguyen Van Cao, said Carlsberg has committed to increase the company's capacity to 350 million litres a year by 2015.
Hue Brewery has been the biggest source of revenue for the provincial government budget, providing a third or even half of total collections.
Last year it contributed 850 billion VND (40.5 million USD) and that is expected to rise to 900 billion VND this year.
The sales notwithstanding, Cao said the deal would help strengthen the Huda Hue brand.

Hawker Beechcraft recently changed its product support policy and will now charge legacy aircraft operators for support that has heretofore been free. Broadly speaking, the new program–called Class (classic legacy aircraft service & support)–targets aircraft that have been out of production for 10 or more years, and operators of those aircraft will be charged $125 per hour for technical support.
While some operators understand the applicability to ancient aircraft such as the Twin Bonanza, their sympathy abruptly ends when it comes to various King Air models, including some low-serial-number 200s and 300s. The company also noted that "future updates to this program may include additional serial numbers."
According to Hawker Beech-craft, "Many of the airplanes operating in this fleet have been resold numerous times and have seen service all over the world. Some of these models were delivered more than 40 years ago. We receive inquiries regularly for services and information such as researching original configurations of old aircraft, looking up part numbers or technical information already in our publications, searching for material specifications, and sending out maintenance manual pages that are missing or sections of manuals for airplanes AOG at a non-HBC-rated facility. At the same time, our new fleets continue to grow and the demands for technical support on these expanded fleets and newer models continue to escalate."
Under its global customer service and support program, Hawker Beechcraft says it has been providing free support and technical assistance for more than 38,000 airplanes regardless of age.
No Pricing Changes Planned at Other OEMs
Spokesmen for Cessna Aircraft and Dassault Falcon said the respective companies have no plans to do anything similar at this point. Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream product support, said there is no charge for routine telephone support; however, the company does assess a fee for "value-added services" such as engineering-drawing research to support modification.
Andy Nureddin, v-p customer services and support for Bombardier Aerospace Business Aircraft, said the company previously had a "classic aircraft" rate card but has canceled the program.
In a letter to Learjet 20/30/55 and Challenger 600/601 customers, Bombardier said, "Fol- lowing customer feedback we want to highlight to all our Learjet 20/30/55 and Challenger 600/601 operators that the same quality of service at the same price is available to you as [to operators of our] current production aircraft. In other words, whether you contact Bombardier for AOG, engineering or manual support, our support levels and fee structure will be consistent with those charges for production aircraft.
"There will be no additional charges for field service, customer response center and customer support account management support. Regardless of the type of Learjet, Challenger or Global aircraft you operate, our support commitment remains the same, and as such the previous classic aircraft support rate card has been rescinded."
Now that Hawker Beechcraft has opened the door, the question is bound to arise, "If they can do it, why can't we?" but for the time being the other OEMs have no plans for such changes.

Accurso's bid to get out of Charbonneau dismissed by Supreme Court
OTTAWA – The Supreme Court of Canada says it won't hear from a former Quebec construction magnate who is trying to get out of testifying at the province's corruption inquiry.
Tony Accurso was hoping to avoid having to testify before the Charbonneau Commission, which is studying the construction industry and the awarding and management of public contracts.
READ MORE: More than 900 charges against Accurso and his construction companies
The former construction boss, whose name has surfaced repeatedly in previous testimony, was trying to get the summons annulled which would have him begin testifying on Sept. 2.
Accurso fears testifying at the inquiry would bring to light evidence that would be used in pending criminal proceedings and jeopardize his right to a fair trial in those unresolved criminal cases.
Quebec Superior Court and the Quebec Court of Appeal have already ruled against Accurso, who was asking the highest court in the land to hear his case.
As is the high court's custom, no reason was given for its decision.

Make a product that people want, keep an eye on the competition and always watch out for new technology and new markets. That's the secret to successful capitalism.
Successful crime, too.
In the early '30s, for example, the Bondurant boys of Virginia had a great product — moonshine. And in a very competitive field, they were still constantly expanding their market share.
Until they faced some real government regulation — in the shape of a psycho special deputy.
The way the Bondurants met that challenge, however — with brass knuckles, public beatings, shotguns and one very nasty bit of improvised surgery — isn't taught in any MBA class.
Their sort-of true, sort-of tall-tale story unfolds in "Lawless," a particularly bloody film from John Hillcoat, a director with a tendency to wallow in the muck and mire.
It's not a pretty film — it's a bit like "Scarface," dipped in pig slop — but it's an occasionally entertaining one.
Most of that comes from two smart, and smartly oppositional performances by Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce. They're the protagonist and antagonist of the piece — and their acting styles are just as conflicting.
Hardy, for example — free, finally, of Bain's crablike mask — stays deep inside bootlegger Forrest Bondurant. He keeps his emotions as close to his vest as a poker player's inside straight; he doesn't so much speak as snort, like a horse fighting the bridle.
As the "citified" lawman sent to break him, though, Guy Pearce is all show, a quivering collection of tics. He fastidiously pulls off a blood-stained glove, carefully reapplies the pomade in his hair. He's a mix of old-time Chicago thug and modern Eurotrash.
Neither feels very much like a real person, but both are great fun to watch, thanks to the actors.
The other actors, though, try to play real people and are less successful, because Nick Cave's script doesn't truly give them real people to play — just barely believable, thinly written figures.
Shia LaBeouf is the Michael Corleone of the Bondurants, the kid who doesn't belong in the business — until he does. Mia Wasikowska is the preacher's daughter he chases; Jessica Chastain the mysterious Woman With a Past who Forrest inevitably falls for.
But LaBeouf never emerges as the important character he's supposed to be, and the actresses are badly served by a story that requires them to do some rather improbable things.
But then Cave and Hillcoat — who also worked together on the bloody Australian western, "The Proposition" — are less interested in romance, or even women, than in getting onto the next bloody bit of man-on-man violence.
True, Hillcoat stages these awful scenes well — at least the movie doesn't have the glum pretension of his last film, the apocalyptic "The Road." And, as a former music-video director, he brings some wit to the sound track, having bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley cover Lou Reed's "White Light/White Heat."
But ultimately, "Lawless" is just another gangster movie, and not a very good one — a pale imitation of Robert Mitchum's corn-likker classic "Thunder Road" — and a Prohibition placeholder for the new episodes of "Boardwalk Empire," just around the corner.
Ratings note: The film contains gore, brutal violence, strong language, nudity, sexual situations and alcohol abuse.
(R) Weinstein (110 min.)
Directed by John Hillcoat. With Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska. Now playing in New Jersey.

Former Syracuse star John Galloway ready to defend the Friars
Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:59:31 GMT —
Former Syracuse Lacrosse goalie John Galloway will be very busy this summer as he takes on the job as the new defensive coordinator of the Providence College Friars.
"I couldn't be more excited," says Galloway, "especially at my age to have this opportunity, a full time position with a division one program in the Big East, and I think we can be competitive as well."
The All-American joins brand new head coach Chris Gabrielli, who was the recruiting coordinator and assistant coach for Duke last season. Galloway was a volunteer assistant goalie coach for the Blue Devils, and learned from Gabrielli every step of the way.
"I'm really lucky in the fact that Coach Gabrielli is also a defensive coach," admits Galloway, "he was the defensive coordinator at Duke. It's a chance for me to be able to walk not run, and I'll have him to lean on at all times. You have to rely on your insticts as well. I've been involved in lacrosse for upwards of 17 and 18 years, so it's not like this is my first rodeo watching defense, so I feel comfortable in my lacrosse IQ, and I feel confident I can lead."
a four-year starter at SU, helping to lead the Orange to National Championships in his freshman and sophomore seasons. He set school records in his junior and senior years for goals against average. He played his high school lacrosse for the legendary West Genesee high school lacrosse team.

The national office of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, is making preparations for the tabulation of returns of its national membership campaign, just concluded. Hadassah chapters in forty states have been notified to complete their local tabulations by December 31, from which date the national count will begin.
"Chanukah Gelt" campaign will be conducted during the week of December 18 to 25, specially designated as "School Luncheons" week. In the 300 cities where Hadassah chapters function, rabbis or Hadassah speakers will address children in Sunday, religious schools and Talmud Torahs on the importance of Hadassah's work in feeding school children in Palestine. Throughout the week contributions will be collected for this special Hadassah activity. At the end of the campaign a banner will be given to the school that contributes the largest sum of money. Mrs. Rebecca Shulman, of Far Rockaway, L. I., is the national chairman of he Palestine School Luncheons Committee, and is directing the December drive.
Hadassah's school luncheons work in Palestine is one of the important phases of preventive work in the Hadassah health system. At present more than 4,000 school children are given daily hot luncheons. For many children the Hadassah meal is the only nutritious one they receive for the entire day.

The new version of Trapeze eliminates these extra steps, providing a significantly faster and easier workflow for the annotation and signing process.
Onstream Systems used the CoSign Signature Local API to easily add digital signatures to Trapeze Desktop. The CoSign family of APIs is designed to help developers quickly add the benefits and power of digital signature technology to their applications without requiring them to learn about the underlying cryptographic techniques.
Were delighted that Onstream Systems decided to add the flexible CoSign digital signature engine to their leading imaging product, Trapeze Desktop, commented Ilan Patashnik, ARX COO. This is an ideal solution for customers seeking to seamlessly combine the benefits of our two systems advanced imaging and annotation together with digital signatures.
Trapeze Desktop, including support for CoSign digital signatures, can be easily integrated with HP Records Manager (HP Trim), Objective, TechnologyOne, SharePoint, OpenText eDOCS (Hummingbird), OpenText Enterprise Connect, and other document management systems.
Extending Trapeze to include support for CoSign digital signatures enables our customers to significantly improve their productivity, commented Glyn Williams, Onstream Systems CEO. With the new version of Trapeze, our customers can easily achieve full digital transformation of their business processes, including signatures, all in one product.
After consulting with customers to gauge their needs, Onstream Systems and TME Digital Signature worked together to propose, design and test the integration. TME Digital Signature is an ARX partner and digital signature consulting company serving the Australian and New Zealand markets.
Trapeze Desktop version 9.5 is planned for release in June 2014.

'Smart' Table Can Identify Different Types Of Baked Goods In One Second [Video]
A visual recognition system on trial at a Tokyo bakery can tell the different types of pastries they sell and automatically calculates the price.
A new system developed by Brain Corporation in collaboration with the University of Hyogo is able to identify different kinds of baked goods on a tray, in just one second. The technology, which was trialled recently at a bakery in Tokyo, improves efficiency as new and part-time staff don't need to learn all the various pastry names and prices. The machine automatically gives them the knowledge they need to assist customers and calculates the price, cutting down on serving time.
The items are placed on a light table at the counter and identified by a camera. A green outline on the screen confirms that an item has been identified correctly. If there's any doubt, a yellow outline is shown, and item names can be selected from a list of possibilities. Repeating this process makes the system even smarter. The developer's next move is to use the visual recognition system for other items that can be distinguished by shape and color, like vegetables and medicine. You can see it in action in DigInfo's video below:

So, you're in the process of having a new website designed and the discussion turns to content management systems. Which platform will your website use? There are many to choose from but probably the most popular are Drupal and Wordpress. While both are open-source publishing platforms, much debate and discussion surrounds which one is better, how they compare, and which one to choose.
Drupal has its roots in content management for websites and Wordpress built its reputation first as a blogging platform. At a basic level -- for publishing articles, text, images -- you can accomplish the same with either platform. However, there are some differences you'll want to consider before making your selection between Drupal and Wordpress.
Comparing Drupal and Wordpress
Hundreds of articles have been written on the similarities and differences between Drupal and Wordpress. We've read many of them and have summarized our findings below:
What's the same?
What's different?
Certainly there are many more similarities and differences that we haven't covered here but these should start to give you a good idea as to which platform will be best for your needs.
So… where do we stand on the Drupal vs. Wordpress issue?
In a nutshell, for basic needs and for people who desire ease-of-use above all else, we would choose Wordpress. For more complex websites or for people who want to start small and grow, we'd choose Drupal.
In reality, there are many factors that go into deciding which platform is best for you. We work with both and encourage you to request a meeting to discuss your specific project.

Tom Zutaut, former Geffen Records A&R executive who was responsible for signing GUNS N' ROSES to the label, has reportedly responded to The New York Times article entitled "Success, excess and a music industry phantom" about GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album, which was dubbed by the paper "probably the most expensive recording never released."According to the New York Times article, years after he left the label, Zutaut returned in 2001 to try to coax Axl Rose, the band's magnetic leader and by then its only original member, into completing one of the most highly anticipated albums in the industry. The deadline for turning in the album had passed two years earlier. "I really thought I could get him to deliver the record," Zutaut, who spent nine months trying, was quoted as saying in the article. "And we got close." Like everyone else who had tried, or has tried since, Zutaut came away empty-handed. Zutaut's letter to The New York Times reads as follows: "Axl Rose was one of the only artists I ever worked with who was never motivated by money. He consistently put the quality of his artistic output above all. Whether you consider him to be a musical genius on hold, a poster child for the misunderstood, or a narcissist, all of his actions are motivated by a pure desire to make every recording count as a true reflection of his own high standards. "In a sea of musical mediocrity and generic voices processed into greatness by computers, Axl Rose achieved the American dream in music without compromising his integrity for the sake of fame or fortune. I am sure that Axl's new GUNS N' ROSES will impact popular culture with the same vigor and vitality that made 'Appetite for Destruction' a part of musical history." (Thanks: Sp1at.com)

text: Here is a wonderful photograph that demonstrates the transition between the 1840s and early 1850s. The short-waisted bodice and stitched-down sleeves with the puffy "bells" above the cuff are typically 1840s. The main difference is in the width of the skirt, which places the gown in the 1850s. Perhaps this lady just kept the old-fashioned bodice style a bit longer. I am not sure, since I've never seen this sleeve and bodice style used so late. Very interesting! If you'd like to make a reproduction of this gown, there is a good pattern available from Past Patterns. It's called the "Lowell Mill Dress."

text: Preparing for your appointment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor if you think you have a bleeding problem. But in some cases when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding disorders (hematologist). If you're in the middle of a severe bleeding episode, your doctor may recommend immediate medical care. Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, including what to expect from the doctor. What you can do Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, ask if you need to do anything in advance. You may need to follow dietary restrictions or fast for eight to 10 hours if blood tests are scheduled. List any bleeding signs or symptoms you've had, including how often, its severity and for how long. For example, your doctor will want to know if you had a history of nosebleeds or easy bruising since childhood or — for women — if your periods have been extended and heavy since you first started menstruating. List key personal information, including any major stresses or recent changes — both positive and negative — in your life. Include a short description of your typical daily diet. Also mention any contact sports you've played and whether you ever developed excessive bruising after playing. Make a list of your key medical information, including other medical problems for which you're being treated. Be sure to mention if any close relatives have a history of easy bleeding. Also list any medications, vitamins or supplements you're taking, including aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox). If possible, bring all your medications with you in their original containers. Take a family member or friend along. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all of the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot. List questions to ask your doctor. For von Willebrand disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include: What's the most likely reason for my symptoms? What treatment do you recommend, and how will you monitor whether it's working? What are the possible side effects of the medications you're prescribing? Does this condition increase my risk of any other medical problems? What steps will I need to take to prevent problems from surgery or dental procedures? Does this condition increase my risk of health problems during pregnancy and childbirth? Are treatment options available to reduce that risk? Are my children or other close relatives at increased risk of this condition? Do I need to avoid certain physical activities or types of exercise? I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage these conditions together? What to expect from your doctorYour doctor may ask: When did you first begin having episodes of prolonged or heavy bleeding? How often do you have an episode of heavy or prolonged bleeding, and how long do these episodes typically last? Do you bruise easily or have recurrent nosebleeds? Did these symptoms begin in childhood? Have you ever had bleeding from a small wound that lasted more than 15 minutes or recurred during the week following the wound? Have you ever had a nosebleed that lasted more than 10 minutes or needed medical attention? For women, for how many days do your menstrual periods last? How often do you have to change your tampon or sanitary pad during a period? Do you ever notice blood clots in your menstrual flow? Have you ever had blood in your stool that wasn't explained by a known medical problem, such as a stomach ulcer or colon polyp? Have you ever needed medical attention for a bleeding problem during or after surgery, dental procedures, childbirth or injury? Have you ever had anemia or needed a blood transfusion? Have you been diagnosed or treated for other medical problems, including liver or kidney disease, a blood or bone marrow disorder, or an abnormal blood platelet count? Do you take pain relievers, such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen? What about blood-thinning medications, such as clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin) or heparin? Do you take an antidepressant, such as citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), paroxetine (Paxil, Paxil CR, Pexeva, others) or sertraline (Zoloft)? Does anyone in your family have a history of bleeding problems? What you can do in the meantimeWhile you wait for your appointment, avoid pain relievers that may increase your risk of bleeding episodes, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. If you need relief for routine aches and pains, try acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) instead. Steer clear of contact sports associated with a high risk of bruising or injury, such as football and hockey. If you have any medical or dental procedures scheduled, tell your doctor or dentist about your history of heavy bleeding from minor injuries. If a scheduled procedure is not urgent, reschedule it until after you've been evaluated for a possible underlying bleeding disorder.

If recent trends hold true, most of the 3 million freshmen starting at U.S. colleges this fall will choose majors that prepare them for careers rather than majors in the liberal arts. Education Department data show that students are opting for engineering, education or criminology instead of more traditional majors such as history, philosophy or even mathematics. Part of the trend can be explained by students seeking degrees that will allow them to step into jobs upon graduating. But that is only part of the reason for the eclipse of the liberal arts.
Liberal arts scholars are mourning the shift. In her book Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities, University of Chicago philosopher Martha Nussbaum argues that pondering Plato, Shakespeare and Darwin cultivates "citizens who can think for themselves, criticize tradition and understand the significance of another person's suffering and achievements."
That may be true. But in visiting university classes across the country, we were appalled at how the humanities and social sciences — even pure sciences — were being taught. If students are staying away from those classes, it's not necessarily because they prefer practical training. Many times it's because professors have subverted the subjects that once held pride of place on most campuses.
The liberal arts have been radically altered, both in format and function. The catalog labels are still recognizable: psychology, comparative literature, English and the like. But what is being taught is no longer attuned to undergraduates looking for a broader and deeper understanding of the world.
Consider Yale's description of a course it offered that dealt with how disabilities are depicted in fiction: "We will examine how characters serve as figures of otherness, transcendence, physicality or abjection. Later may come examination questions on regulative discourse, performativity and frameworks of intelligibility."
Classes like these suggest that professors are using the curriculum as their personal playgrounds. Harvard's Harvey Mansfield worries that too many professors take the approach that "what they're doing research on is exactly what students need to know." As a result, freshmen are often addressed as if they were novitiate doctoral candidates, eager to imbibe the esoterica of academic disciplines. Courses should be created for the benefit of students, not as vehicles for faculty careers.
In our own teaching, we've found that students arrive at college interested in the economy, their society and its culture. They are not incurious, as many academics complain. Nor do we agree with Charles Murray, who argues we are sending too many young people to college. On the contrary, we believe that every undergraduate, even those now basically majoring in beer, would benefit from giving a seminar paper on Jane Austen's Persuasion.
In less discipline-bound days, professors conversed with their students as they did with larger audiences. The late Allan Bloom mesmerized generations of undergraduates as he paced puffing a Gauloise while holding forth on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile. He was a philosopher by training, but he believed that students should be exposed to the broad sweep of great literature and big thoughts.
Cornell's Robert Frank was speaking about the discipline of economics when he worried that today's introductory courses are "tailored not for the majority of students for whom it will be their only economics course, but for the negligible fraction who will go on to become professional economists." But much the same can be said of sociology, psychology and political science as they are taught in today's institutions of higher learning.
Amherst once had a college-wide course called "evolution of the earth and man," team-taught by faculty members from geology through genetics. It was exactly the sort of thing that drew people into the sciences. However, that offering no longer exists. Such classes don't earn points for the professors who plan them. Instead, they are expected to be doing research that will lead to tenure or higher ranks, which often means they are concentrating on ever more obscure topics.
An American Mathematical Society study of introductory courses found that only 11 percent were taught by regular faculty members. Professors making their mark in "orbit structure of diffeomorphims of manifolds" feel their talents would be wasted teaching Math 101. But they might mull Albert Einstein's words to young researchers: "You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother."
As high school students and their parents consider college options, they might want to take a careful look at catalogs and course descriptions. In higher education these days, it's buyer beware.

From its humble beginnings in Pincher Creek to recent national recognition, Lethbridge College's Wind Turbine Technician program is poised to become an international wind-energy academy.
Overcoming Canada's dependency on petroleum has become a towering challenge, one in which Lethbridge College has become a central player in the last four years. Since it set up its initial Wind Turbine Technician training program in 2005, the college has gained international recognition, both for the quality of its curriculum and its leadership in the field.
"The wind industry is amazed at what we have here," says Suzanne Flannigan, Lethbridge College's dean in the Centre for Applied Management. "We were a best-kept secret, but now we're endeavouring to let everyone know what we can provide.
We have committed and passionate people involved who have galvanized the entire area."
One of the committed is John Vermeer (Renewable Resource Management '77), the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board's 2003 choice as best instructor in southern Alberta. Vermeer and colleague Mike Wehrwein became early poster boys for Lethbridge College's wind turbine program.
Trained in Germany as instructors to BZEE certification, they made the college the first in North America to offer a program recognized as meeting world standards.
BZEE, or Bildungszentrum für Erneuerbare Energien e.V., is the German organization formed by major wind power industry players in the country and is recognized as the Rolls Royce of training in the wind turbine industry. Train to BZEE standards, and you can work anywhere in the world.
"Manufacturers and wind farm developers are happy with us because our curriculum is industry-driven" says Vermeer. "Most colleges in the U.S. have never talked to industry and have no equipment on which to train."
Lethbridge College bought nine nacels (the actual guts of the equipment), five towers and three blades from a decommissioned wind farm to use for hands-on training. It was a strategic move, because such items are now impossible to locate.
The college began the program as a cost-recovery venture rather than a credit program, and while that is changing, the financial possibilities still exist: a plan is in the works to ship one complete nacel to a college in Michigan, an institute that would pay to deliver the "made in southern Alberta" course to American students. Talks are also under way with colleges in
Saskatchewan, Ontario, British Columbia and Texas.
Employment in the wind-power industry is expected to grow rapidly; a chunk of the jobs it will create are centred on installation and repair, specialized training Lethbridge College delivers to some 32 students per course, twice a year. The 26-week course this fall and the first intake for 2010 were filled months ago.
Once taught in the college's animal husbandry facility on the Jail Road, the course hopes to move into the Trades Wing on campus, but space and trained instructors still limit student numbers. A third instructor has been hired and will be sent to Germany for BZEE training. "We're trying to grow in step with industry needs," says Vermeer.

Greek Peak survives - buyer still sought
Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:06:33 GMT —
hile Greek Peak's ski season is booming this winter, things weren't so good for the Cortland County resort last year after it filed for bankruptcy. Six months ago the resort was looking at closing for good. This would have left roughly one-thousand people out of a job. Greek Peak filed for bankruptcy partly due to the mild winter we had last season. The bank handling the loan went bankrupt last year. This forced the FDIC to step in and take over Greek Peak's debt and pump an additional 1.6 million dollars into the resort to keep in afloat. The resorts President cautioned that Greek Peak might not open without those funds.
Senator Schumer was at the resort today and spoke out for the community to find a buyer. Schumer said, "We're calling on the FDIC to continue to work with Al and Greek Peak to navigate the sale process quickly and thoroughly."
Schumer went on to say, "We are here to celebrate that nearly all of Greek Peak's trails have thus far this season been buzzing with skiers. Its chair lifts are running. Its doors are open to thousands of guests from around the country."
A celebration was certainly in order. Jessica Sloma is the Director of Marketing and Sales at Greek Peak, she told CNYCentral's Alex Resila, "We are up from last year and 2010 was a great year for us and we are up slightly over 2010."
Greek Peak received and additional four-hundred thousand dollars from the FDIC last month to keep them moving swiftly through the winter season.

Werner considered for interim county manager
March 25, 2014
Commissioners plan to offer former Carson City Manager Larry Werner an interim position as Douglas County manager while they search for a replacement for Steve Mokrohisky.
Werner, who served as Douglas County public works director in 1992-93, indicated he would be happy to take the job.
"I would be honored to serve as interim county manager, and to help steer Douglas County on the course set by the Board of Commissioners, residents and staff," Werner said.
"I've had the opportunity to work with commissioners, senior staff and elected officials over the last several years, and I would be proud to serve as an integral part of the organization during this important transition period," he added.
Werner and his wife have roots in Douglas County that go back to the 1800s. They have been residents of Douglas County since 1997.
The interim county manager will serve over the next several months during the recruitment process for a new county manager.

Mokrohisky, whose last day in office is April 11, accepted a position as Lane County (Ore.) county administrator.
The board discussed several options for interim management at its meeting Thursday, including appointment of qualified individuals from within and outside the organization.
Commissioners complimented the leadership and work of current county staff, and expressed a desire to not disrupt progress on the fiscal year 2014-15 budget, construction and operation of the new Community and Senior Center, and Main Street revitalization efforts.
Commissioners also expressed a desire to appoint an interim county manager who is not a candidate for the permanent position, thereby allowing qualified individuals within and outside of the organization to compete for the permanent position.
Werner served as the Carson City manager for five years and was instrumental in developing several regional partnerships between Douglas County and Carson City, including public and environmental health, street light maintenance, regional water services and Geographic Information Services.
Prior to serving as Carson City manager, Werner served as development services director/city engineer for Carson City, as well as a principal engineer for Lumos and Associates in Minden.
The board noted that Carson City operates very similarly to Douglas County, with a five-member Board of Supervisors, five elected offices including sheriff, treasurer, assessor, clerk/recorder and district attorney, and seven appointed departments including finance, human resources, information technology, health and human services, parks and recreation, public works and fire. Carson City has 560 employees, a general fund operating budget of approximately $55 million, and a total budget of approximate $120 million.
"Larry has the skills and experience to serve as our interim manager, and will be a great fit to work with our board, staff and community to continue positive progress over the next several months," said Commission Chair Doug Johnson.
An additional action item will be brought to the board at a future meeting to formally appoint the Interim County Manager.
On Thursday, the Board of Commissioners also approved moving forward with a competitive recruitment process to hire a permanent county manager.

Vendée Globe LIVE TV interviews: " Similar routes so far "
Mike Golding (GBR, Gamesa):
it is quite settled at last, had quite an interesting day with some pretty big squalls which spooked me for a while and I sailed around with a reef in for quite a while. I had 40 knot squalls which was a bit out of the blue and I wasn't expecting it but right now it is really settled, nice waves to surf and we are making very good progress towards the gate.
I've been able to catch up with Jean a little bit, which is always nice but I think Dominique and I are waiting for this next system to come forward and hope that that can kind of shove us a little bit more towards him [Le Cam]. Obviously we are both operating in the same system, Jean is on one side of it and we are on the other and it is just a case of extending and compressing.
I got a good dousing today, the boat went charging off on a wave when we had the big, big squall and I got completely soaked, top to bottom, so I used that as an opportunity in my backed off state to have a shave and clean myself up and change all my clothes, so hopefully I do, but everything is soaking wet! A complete set of clothes!
Crossing the antemeridian will be great, it a sign we're getting closer to our goal. I was speaking to my wife Andrea a few days ago and she was saying, 'ten days to Cape Horn'. It is really dawning us that we are munching through the race course and only ten more days potentially in the South, so the anti meridian means we are actually starting to get back, we are completely at the opposite end of the scale time wise and once we cross the antimeridian we start to unwind that and unwind ourselves, so it definitely feels like we are on the climb homewards.
We have been at sea six weeks now and you do lose track of time, you don't mark time in the same way you would ashore, you don't have any barriers to mark those sort of things. So consequently it does creep up on you and you suddenly realise how far through this race you have got.
I do get frustrated, I did get frustrated in particular about the speed differential, it was a bit disappointing. It was a bit of a bitter pill in the build up to a race and I suppose you kind of fool yourself when you are working on a project like this you don't always know what your opposition are doing. And it is a bit of a bitter bill to get on the racecourse and find that there is a such a different speed differential, but I did get very, very frustrated about that. But in general, working around the boat, the boat is working well, I have got my problems like everyone else but we are on top of them and we are managing them and so long as I am managing them, my temperament remains reasonably even I think.
Armel Le Cléac'h (FRA, Banque Populaire) :
The sun is rising, it's been the shortest night since the beginning of the race, I barely saw any darkness.
It looks like François and I just can't stay away from each other, the gaps are tiny, we've had quite similar routes so far. It' been a great fight pretty much since the start of the race and because there aren't that many different options possible because of the weather, we should stay close to each other for a while, unless something unexpected happens.
There's been very few possibilities for us to make choices, except maybe for one gate, but strategy hasn't been that decisive because of that. But we still have another month to go, so maybe we'll have more opportunities at one point.
The fight has been intense since the Indian Ocean, we've actually seen each other while passing the last gate. It was nice to get to see François, to ave a visual contact, and it's a interesting point of comparison when it comes to speed and all, because our boats are quite similar.
Dominique Wavre (SUI, Mirabaud):
The weather's nice here, I'm waiting for the right time to gybe. The moon is beautiful but the sea is quite agitated. Mirabaud is doing great, and so is her skipper! I had time to check the boat, and everything's working fine, except maybe for a few bolts to screw tighter, nothing more. It's a very pleasant feeling.
I'm out of champagne for when I sail across the antimeridian, but I have coffee, and that's what keeps me going!
I saw dolphins south of New Zealand, it was the first time I saw dolphins like those, they were amazing, dancing around the boat, they wanted to play, I felt very close to them. And because the sun was shining, it was even nicer!
I'm getting closer to Mike Golding, and my southern route may help me to catch up with him, I'm very excited, it makes the situation even more interesting. It's going to be a tough fight once we round Cape Horn and sail in the Atlantic. It's great to have someone so close to compete against!
Jean Le Cam (FRA, SynerCiel):
There's a huge depression here, and there were 37 knots of wind, it's very tricky because there's always a risk of doing something wrong. It was worth it, you can go really fast, but you can also break something. And I'm on the edge of it, I can't even imagine what it would be like to be in the center of it.
Crossing the antimeridian line means a lot to me, it means I'm going home now, I'm not sailing away from Les Sables anymore, I'm going back home.
Jean-Pierre Dick (FRA, Virbac Paprec 3, taped):
The night has just fallen, the sky is gray but, oddly enough, quite clear, there's a lot of light thanks to the moon. But it's going to get darker as the front comes closer, which is going to bring strong winds. Right now I have a 28-32-knot wind but I know it's going to go up to 40 knots so I'm ready to go out there and adapt my sails to the future situation. There's so much noise on the boat! Right now my speed is 19-20 knots, it's pretty good. But the waves are quite rough.
It's tough but it's still better than yesterday, when the wind was much slower than the weather files had predicted. I'm glad things changed and I think Gabart and Le Cléac'h will slow down so hopefully I can catch up with them a bit in the next few days.
You have to deal with whatever the situation is, because whether you're catching up with the leaders or they're sailing away, you can't really change anything, usually. You need a little luck with the weather, and some talent too! You have to do with what fate and luck give you, sometimes you have to be resigned, too.
I'm glad I had serious physical preparation and training before the race, it's good to know I'm less likely to get injured if the boat crashes into a wave or something. I worked on my body balance and my muscles and it's really helping.
Stewart Hosford (GBR, Alex Thomson Racing General Manager):
We're in touch with Alex Thomson, he checks in every day by email, too, it's our crisis routine. We're on pretty regular contact to talk about fixing his hydrogenerator. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been great so Alex is mostly preparing for the repair. It's all about making sure we understand what went wrong and how we can fix it, more than actually working on it.
Given the circumstances, Alex is doing well, especially since neither Alex not his boat had gone so far in the Vendée Globe before. So we're delighted with where he is. He's lost miles but he's still in reasonable touch with Jean-Pierre Dick.
Alex is a passionate sports guy. Of course his mood can go up and down depending on what's going on and how he and the boat are doing. And restricted communications have been difficult for him, too. But he's absolutely determined and very focused. He has days when it's tough and he's not enjoying it so much but then he also has days when he's just loving it. I think generally, he's very happy to be out there.

A month ago, after her Woodland girls volleyball team's straight-set loss to Davis, Kelly Newsom highlighted two areas in which the Wolves were unsuccessful.
"Inconsistent passing, and not being able to put the ball away," said coach Newsom on Sept. 7.
The first problem seems to be solved, but the Wolves still had trouble with the second issue in their four-set loss to Yuba City High School on Tuesday.
Woodland (2-6, 2-1 TCC) was defeated 25-18, 25-16, 23-25, 25-21 by the Honkers (6-6, 2-1 TCC) at Woodland High.
"Our passing was good, it's just (that) we couldn't find the court with our hitting," libero Kaylee Davis said.
Davis sat out the first set because of team rules, since she missed practice for a traveling softball team obligation. After Yuba City won convincingly in that first set, the Wolves took a lead early in the second. But Woodland errors on three spikes contributed to a nine-point Yuba City run to close out the set.
"We're able to pass it up, (setter Kelly Campos) is able to get it to the hitters, and it's what we do with it that's really killing us," Newsom said.
Campos finished the night with 28 assists, helping on all but four of Woodland's kills. However, the Wolves made 39 hitting errors.
"You're just never going to win (like that)," Newsom said. "Whenever our hitting is off, there is just no way we can fight back."
Despite losing the first two sets, Woodland fought back in the third set. The Wolves led by as many as eight points before the Honkers clawed back to within 24-23, creating what Katie Baker called "tension" on the court.
"It's hard when you're so far ahead and they make their way back," said Baker, who led Woodland with nine kills.
The tension eased when Natalie Butterfield spiked the set-clinching kill. Woodland didn't continue the comeback in the fourth set, however, holding on to an 11-11 tie before being downed 25-21.
"In the third and fourth sets (we) were all over the court, digging balls left and right," Newsom said. "That's 110 percent (effort). Those things tell me that (we) have a lot of heart, so we just have to work on the skill."
Butterfield had 16 digs and Campos tallied 18 digs. Eleanor Harlan earned eight kills, while Kailee Goyet had five.
Baker thought the Wolves lost in part because of their mentality.
"The fact that we beat (Yuba City) this weekend in the tournament kind of affected our game," she said. "We thought, 'They're an easy win.'"
Woodland played the Honkers on Saturday at the Roseville Varsity Tournament, winning 25-21, 15-25, 15-10. Newsom noted better serving by Yuba City on Tuesday. Even still, she was not entirely dissatisfied with the defeat.
"I'm not happy that we lost but I'm not unhappy with the way that we played," Newsom said. "There's obviously room for improvement. (But) that was a fantastic game. I loved watching that, it wasn't just a one-kill rally."
The Wolves host River Valley on Thursday, and Baker hopes for a return to form.
"If we come back the team that we were last week, we'll be OK," she said.
