Academic Flexibility:
The whole Santa Ana Colleg experience is one I won't forget. It has made me a better person on the basketball court and in the classroom. The classes are great. The professors are people you want to keep in touch with. My basketball coaches are awesome. The flexibility of the classes are easy, good amount of work and always have something useful to relate back to life.I transferred from another community college and transferring was a peice of cake. My coach helped me with every step of the way.The major fustration that I have is financial aid. I do qualitiy for it but I think I very deserving of it.
Overall Experience:
My favorite experience is of course being a student athlete and having the privilage to be put first. The priority registration helps so mich because I know I am on the right track, I get to have more connections with the staff, and it makes my life a little less of a hassle.One more favorite experience is that I met different people and shared didn't values, ideas and attitudes. One example is the women's basketball team. My teammates are very unique and outgoing. I learned so much from them from how to play basketball, how to better myself on the court and in the classroom, and of course knowing more people can help you in each other's futures. As well, the coaches staff are people I will not forget. They helped me very step of the way and I am so thankful. They truely care for you as a person and a basketball player.I would choose this school over my other community college from where I transferred from because I am honestly say there are providing me with more options in life, connections with great people and the people in general that I have met i consider my friends for life.
The unique qualities of Santa Ana College is going through college as an athlete. These athletes on campus including myself have first priority of classrooms because they have to make sure there is no intereference with their sport. We always have assistance all around us from, athletic trainer, Athletic directors, chairmen, coaches and professor(everyone).Also, I recently when to a seminar based on a professor talking about bullying of Lesbians and Gays. The professor himself was gay and very open about it which was great. He made the presentation very informational, caring and he definitely makes a difference. He told us students come up to him to tell them ther problems with their sexuality, bullying or just simply to vent. I wasnt aware of troubles on campus about that but I'm glad we have staff fixing it and trying to make it a fair campus.
Career Services:
I haven't looked too much into the post-grad service, alumni network and job prospects. I know I can always go to my coach for any help and connections to help with my education further down the road.
Student Body:
In all my classes, I had made a friend and still keep in contact when the class is done or transferred. The classmates I talked to were very determined and had big dreams. Some say the want to major in politics, biology and engineering. I met a girl who was once in my Statisitics class and she got accepted and transferred to CAL. I thought that was terrific because most of my extended family didn't go to college.The diversity of the student body is huge. I believe that all the student work well together even if you are asian, white, africa american,indian, etc because we all have the same goal which is to pass the class and be successful.There might be some challenges with communication issues but the students are polite and have patience to make it work.
Campus Resources:
I absolutely love the athletic centers. As I said before, i personally know the athletic trainers, the chairmen and many athletic coaches They are all very intelligent, polite, energentic and great people to know forever. They all care about their athletes and their personal lives.The libraries is a good size and has alot of resources. I go in their for study groups, use a computer or to do homework. Observing my surrounding, I see students renting lab tops, checking out books, printing and doing whatever they need to do with the library's assistance.The campus over all is growing. Santa Ana college has a small high school inside the campus so I think that is really interesting because the students already experience college at the same time. I even had a high school student in my Statistics class and he was talking six classes in high school and two college course. That was very impressive and great to see someone exceeding.The campus is changes in a postiive way. I always seen construction to fix older building, the parking lots or something for the high school. The campus is clean and well maintained. The is alwasy security all day and night which makes a student feel safe and protected.
Campus Resources:
Being in the library is very helpful. I get to have alone time to do work or set a time to be in a group room to study and do projects in an enclosed room.The printing and copying is easy and quick because of the printing cards. These cards you stick in a machine and allows you to print for only 10 cents. TThe network reliability is pretty good. Sometimes, i can get a singal but its not to hard to just move to another location and get it. It is not a huge problem at all.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I personally have not even walked into the financial aid office because I do not get it from my parent's income. So,dealing with school's tuition is okay because I have a great parents who pay for all my classes. However, it can be a little bit of struggle when we pay full amount of everything with no help. Basically, my only option is to do as many scholarships as I can to help them with the money part.I believe that students who have the grades to prove the are worthy of money should be able to have a little bit of help. Even if its only for a cost for a book.
Online Courses:
The online courses were very easy but made me learn alot. Since the professor is not phyiscal in front of you, a student can just wait for answers and be lazy. Of course you have to do all the homework independently, but you have the privilage to do it on your time. The professor always has time to answer her emails or avaliable on campus during office hours.The unique characteristic of online courses is that, in my opinion, makes you work a little harder than a lecture. It makes you research more and fully understand the concept.
Academic Experience:
Being a Kinesiology major, I have many opportunities and help around me. My basketball coach helps me with my class schedule. My athletic counselor answers all y questions. I have interviewed and met with the chairmen of Kinesiology and he has given me great advice and assistance.
Academic Experience:
Since I am an athlete(Women's basketball), priority registration is very easy and quick. I get all the classes I need to stay on track. Also, the professors are caring and helpful with avaliable office hours, studying strategies, tutoring times and other resources. As well, I know the athletic trainers very well and they give me tips and advice on what they did in their college lives and how their career are beneficial.Overall, spending my time at Santa Ana college for about 8 hours a day is very interesting, enjoyable and never a waste of time. Everything I need for school,eat and help is either on campus or walking distance.
Academic Flexibility:
If you have a legitimate excuse teachers are willing to work with you
Tuition & Financial Aid:
It's a community college so fees are pretty manageable, many students receive financial aide
Academic Experience:
In my experience I've had good teachers that are willing to help.Top fire tech and criminal justice departments
Academic Experience:
Great language departmentTop fire tech and criminal justice departmentshelpful teachers
Overall Experience:
i have made a lot of new friends at this college that helped me get through the years. But i would most likely look at more options to see what college can offer me more.
Online Courses:
i have only taken one online course and it was ok
Tuition & Financial Aid:
i wish that this colege could transfer units from here to others so i can get financial aid even if im not a full student at one
Campus Resources:
I wish there was more
Campus Resources:
there is alot of computers to work with
Academic Flexibility:
sometimes the schools conflict with my work and life schedule
Career Services:
if included in a program, then the counselors help you out alot and inform you of what you need to do to continue on.
Student Body:
they are not as outgoing as i have seen at other community colleges.
Academic Experience:
i wish there were more programs to choose from
Academic Experience:
the professors dont always explain the curriculum very well and they are very strict in the science classes.

"There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get children
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?"
~Ain't We Got Fun, 1921
The first news from the 2010 Census about poverty wasn't good. On Sept. 14, the Associated Press reported that 46.2 million Americans were living in poverty—nearly one in six people—and that the poverty rate had climbed in one year from 14.3 percent to 15.1 percent. Tennessee, according to the same report, fared even worse, with a 16.7 percent poverty rate. In human terms—out of every 100 Tennesseans, almost 17 are living below the poverty line.
The news got worse. AP reported on Nov. 3 that the nation's "poorest poor" now account for one in 15 people, or 20.5 million Americans. This means "an income of $5,570 for an individual and $11,157 for a family."
Then, on Nov. 20, a study commissioned by the New York Times chimed in with a newly coined term: the "near poor". The Census Bureau was using a new method of measuring poverty, called the Supplemental Poverty Measure, and this one showed that 51 million people have incomes less than 50 percent above the poverty line. This new tabulation was 76 percent higher than the figures released in September. "That places one in three Americans either in poverty or the fretful zone just above it," said the NYT.
But not here in Chattanooga and Hamilton County, right? Things are booming here, aren't they? Those statistics don't apply to us…do they?
Even before all the statistics mentioned were published, researchers at the Brookings Institute had released a report on Oct. 7, 2010 called "The Great Recession and Poverty in Metropolitan America" using data from the Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey. These numbers confirmed, "the worst U.S. economic downturn in decades exacerbated trends set in motion years before, by multiplying the ranks of America's poor.
"An analysis of poverty in the nation's 100 largest metro areas, based on recently released data from the 2009 American Community Survey, indicates that:
"Several metro areas saw city poverty rates increase by more than 5 percentage points, while many suburban areas experienced increases of 2 to 4 percentage points between 2007 and 2009. The city of Allentown, PA saw a 10.2 percentage-point increase in its poverty rate, followed by Chattanooga, TN with an increase of 8.0 percentage points." (Italics ours.)
This, taking into account that the old numbers, based on the 2000 census, were already bad enough: According to a presentation prepared by the City of Chattanooga Social Services Department in 2005:
"According to the 2000 Census, there were 26,843 individuals living in poverty in Chattanooga—17.9% of the total population—compared to 12.4% nationally.
"The poverty rate for children under 18 was 27% in Chattanooga—compared to 16.6% nationally.
"2002 data is only available at the county level. In Hamilton County, 12.9% of all individuals and 18.6% of all children were living in poverty."
"We are seeing a big increase in people who have never needed help before," says Al Tucker, a social services delivery manager for the Social Services Department. He estimated, depending on the month, that numbers are up between 25 and 35 percent this year.
But numbers don't have faces. Numbers are easy to ignore. The Pulse asked contributor Cody Maxwell to help tell the story of poverty in Chattanooga.
I was standing in line early one Saturday at St. Elmo's Amman Market with a dirty, barefoot 3 year old. Her baby belly was sticking out from under her favorite pink princess shirt, which stopped fitting her properly a year ago.
We'd been waiting all morning for mama to get in the shower. When we finally heard the water running. we snuck the keys out of her purse and ran out to the car. The plan was coming together. We'd whispered it the night before, in the dark just before going to sleep—tomorrow we'd sneak and go get chocolate.

- Untitled Review by Randy Rader
The Mysterium Croesus Sanp in Bead Rings both arrived in a very fast manner. I was surprised to see them in the mail so soon.
One did arrive with two stones missing, but a bit of super glue has them back in place, just like new. They are much lighter than I expected, which is nice. The snap in bead is much easier to put in than I thought it would be as well.
Overall, I'm very happy with them.

EIB supports upgrade of border crossing and water infrastructure in Armenia
- Release date: 07 August 2012
- Reference: 2012-109-EN
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing two loans to the Republic of Armenia:
- EUR 30.3 million to finance the construction and modernisation of three border crossings on the Armenian side of the border with Georgia and the related infrastructure
- EUR 6.5 million to support the rehabilitation of water supply, sewerage and sewage treatment facilities in small municipalities across Armenia.
The loan of EUR 30.3 million will support the development of the border crossings points in Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan and the improvement of the access roads in their vicinity and associated infrastructure, including a new bridge at Bagratashen and the reconstruction of the 7.4 km main road leading to the Gogavan crossing.
This will help to implement the Armenian Government's key priority of fostering the development of reliable transit routes of vital importance for the whole region. Once in operation, the project will contribute to the smoother flow of people, vehicles and goods between Armenia and Georgia.
The loan of EUR 6.5 million will finance the improvement of the drinking water supply and wastewater treatment for some 300 000 inhabitants of 17 smaller towns in Armenia. This will help to increase the quality of life by providing water services meeting international standards particularly for citizens with lower incomes living in the poorer areas of the country that will benefit most from this project.
Both projects, "Modernisation of Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan Border Crossing Points" and "Armenian Small Municipalities Water Project", are being co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF).
The signing of these loans almost triples total EIB lending in Armenia to EUR 57 million. The Bank has previously supported the rehabilitation of the metro in Yerevan (with a EUR 5 million loan) and provided a credit line of EUR 15 million to support SMEs in Armenia.

Dante delivers a no hassle, self configuring, true plug-and-play digital audio network that uses standard Internet Protocols over 100Mb and/or Gigabit Ethernet. Patent-pending Dante technology distributes digital audio plus integrated control data with sub millisecond latency, sample-accurate playback synchronization, extreme reliability and high channel counts.
Dante makes networking a true plug-and-play process with automatic device discovery and system configuration. Dante-enabled devices find each other on the network and will configure themselves, so you can skip those complicated, error-prone set-up procedures. Instead of "magic numbers," you label networked devices and their input and output signals with names that make sense to you. Dante is making signal distribution more flexible, cost-effective and user-friendly at some of the largest live events and most sophisticated installations worldwide.
Dante is built on global networking standards including Internet Protocols — not just Ethernet. With true IP routing, Dante technology works as an IT network capable of transporting professional quality audio and high definition video with no limits on your layout options. Dante delivers sample-accurate playback synchronization, even over multiple switch hops. Latency is extremely low whether you choose to run your Dante network with fixed latency or optimized latency. Dante makes it easy to set up robust, flexible digital audio networks with performance that scales with your network.
Dante runs on inexpensive off-the-shelf computer networking hardware, and does not require dedicated network infrastructure. Ethernet switches transmit Dante digital media streams alongside ordinary data traffic, so you can integrate professional media operations into properly designed pre-existing networks. And with Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), your Mac or Windows computer looks and acts like any other Dante-enabled device. Just plug in to the standard Ethernet port to use digital audio processing, recording or playback software on the network.
With Dante's Zero configuration protocol, you won't need a networking specialist to enter numerical IP or MAC addresses, or set up DNS or DHCP servers. Dante-enabled devices identify and configure themselves automatically as soon as you plug in Ethernet cables. You can label devices, inputs and outputs with descriptive names — and those names will stay with that device so you can plug and unplug or move devices at will. Dante lets you focus on what you are good at producing and delivering sound that gets people excited and not worry about the networking.

It's all about family at Biaggio's Pizzeria and Family Restaurant. Father-son duo Joseph and Salvatore Ruffino began serving their family's traditional Italian cuisine June 10 in South Whitehall Township's Crest Plaza shopping center.
"We want our guests to feel like they are part of our own family," said Salvatore Ruffino, who is also the front house manager. "And there's only one way to do that — with great quality food and great customer service."
The restaurant at 1526 N. Cedar Crest Blvd. (next to Cold Stone Creamery) replaces the previous family-owned Attilio's Italian Restaurant, which closed May 31 when the owners retired.
Joseph Ruffino, who is recovering from surgery, is no stranger to the restaurant industry. He operated Salvatore Ruffino's restaurant on Allen Street in Allentown for many years.

"Biaggio's is my father's vision," Salvatore Ruffino said. "He spent countless hours developing the menu and will be cooking at the restaurant once his health improves."
Diners may choose from a vast menu featuring everything from angus burgers, paninis and wraps to hot and cold hoagies and classic chicken and veal entrees. Of course, the eatery's main draw is its wide selection of pizzas, including gourmet specialty pizzas like "The Moby Dick" and "The Kitchen Sink."
"People really like our sauce because it's sweeter than most others," said Salvatore Ruffino. "We also serve dessert pizzas, including strawberry cheese and apple caramel cheese."
The pair, along with two helpers, spent seven days remodeling the kitchen and dining room. "It was like the TV show 'Restaurant Impossible,' but with four people, not 45," Salvatore Ruffino said. "We installed new flooring, wall paneling — everything."
Further proof of the business' family focus lies in family photos that will soon adorn the walls. There is also a glass case featuring homemade Middle Eastern dishes like tabouli, grape leaves, hummus and baba ghanoush. "My mom is from Syria, so that's her influence," Salvatore Ruffino said.
The restaurant, which is BYOB, offers discounts to employees of Parkland School District, South Whitehall Township and Crest Plaza. A grand opening celebration is planned for mid-July. Info: 610-395-7006.
A tip from Retail Watcher Marlene Burkey of Bethlehem helped me discover that a PetSmart is being constructed at the former Dan Schantz Greenhouse location in Bethlehem's Lehigh Shopping Center.
PetSmart confirmed the store's construction on West Union Boulevard and announced an anticipated opening date of Sept. 7. Trendy clothing store Citi Trends moved into part of the former greenhouse in 2011.
Further west on Union Boulevard, an Allentown business has been a bit of a mystery to some Retail Watchers. "Do you have any idea when the Fat Boys BBQ truck will be opening on Union Boulevard or if they will be there at all?" Susan Marek asks.
Fat Boys House of BBQ, which opened in 2011 but later closed, says it will not be open at 652 Union Blvd. (near Coca-Cola Park) this year, and it is booked for catering for the entire summer. Individuals craving the food truck's pulled pork, smoked sausage, baked beans and other menu items are advised to monitor the company's website, fatboyshouseofbbq.com, for future updates.
Where one food truck closes, another one opens. Sisters Lauren and Oliva Albright will hold a grand opening of their Sugar & Spice Pies food truck noon-5 p.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Creative Tile Imports at 826 Fenwick St. in Allentown. Pie samples will be served during the event.
The sisters, both graduates of Allentown Central Catholic High School, are excited to share their love of food in the place they love the most. Their menu features open pies (pie shells with overflowing fillings and toppings), hand pies (think Hot Pockets), pie bites (perfect size to pop in mouth) and single-serve sweets (personal pies).
As you may have guessed from the name, there are both sweet and savory selections, including "The Big Al," a pulled pork open pie with pickled onions and an apple, orange and cabbage slaw, and "The Liberty Bell," a personal brown butter caramel apple pie sprinkled with sea salt.
The sisters will operate their business, which is also available for catering, at various locations in the city. Info: 484-325-1758 or sugarandspicepies.com.
My colleagues Emily Opilo and Scott Kraus reported Tuesday that Sangria at 840 W. Hamilton St. in Allentown has allowed its liquor license to expire and begun serving only lunch. The fate of the downtown restaurant, which opened in August 2010, is now in question even as more than a half dozen new restaurants are proposed for the same corridor.
Another one of my colleagues, Samantha Marcus, reported Wednesday that the Lehigh County commissioners rejected tax financing for Hamilton Crossings, possibly closing the door to popular retailers Costco and Whole Foods in the Lehigh Valley.

Attended: Knife Skills (Adult)
This course was the fantastic. I learned a ton, it was simple and easy to follow and it moved along at a nice clip. The teacher was great, and there was a good amount of individual attention.
Attended: Knife Skills (Adult)
Great class! The instructor was very friendly and informative. She created a friendly, light atmosphere, but we also left feeling like we actually learned something- from knife care tips to of course chopping tips. Also, the chips and dips we got to eat in the end were delicious!
Attended: A Taste of Italy / BYOB
Yes, we would recommend. Good for beginners. We made a wonderful meal. Delicious chicken and eggplant parm, risotto, and garlic knots. We learned some cooking tips, knife tricks, etc. People in the class were friendly and fun. Chef and helpers were helpful and informative. There was plenty of food made and we were allowed to take home leftovers -- even better the next day. One suggestion is to have or make some kind of dessert as part of the menu-- Italian cookies, homemade pizzelle (simple and easy), or pastry.We were supposed to receive the recipes via email but we have not yet received. Please send recipes - would be appreciated. Thank you.
Attended: Pizza and Flatbread BYOB

Outdoor Recreation
There are few places that allow your business to flourish and your spirit to soar at the same time. From the world-class skiing of Snowshoe Mountain Resort and the trout fishing of Pocahontas County to the rolling hills and historic farms of Monroe County and the timeless elegance of The Greenbrier, one of the world's premier resorts located in Greenbrier County, the Greenbrier Valley offers you an opportunity to build your dream and live it too.
Higher Education
The Greenbrier Valley's colleges, universities and vocational schools educate the future workforce. The Greenbrier Valley prepares to meet the challenges of the future with a commitment to providing its residents with outstanding access to higher education opportunities. The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, New River Community College and Concord University offer courses designed to prepare students to provide significant economic returns to the state and its communities simply by virtue of their role as educators, employers, and procurers of goods and services.
Local economies compete in an ever widening marketplace with their success based on the collective value they offer the consumer. When that consumer is the CEO or site selector of a company or a local businessperson looking to expand their operation, the primary economic asset they seek is a qualified workforce or "human capital". Education is key to a successful local economic development program. Education has always been and will continue to be an important part of the success of the Greenbrier Valley. The Greenbrier Valley region makes the education of its students a high priority.
Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
All aboard! Take a trip back in time and experience the thrill of riding a steam-driven locomotive through the majestic West Virginia mountains. Cass Scenic Railroad State Park offers excursions that allow you to relive an era when steam-driven locomotives were an essential part of everyday life.
The Greenbrier
The Greenbrier is a world-renowned, award-winning resort nestled on 6,500 acres in the scenic Allegheny Mountains in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Greenbrier offers more than 50 activities, including three 18-hole championship golf courses, a new golf academy, a gallery of fine shops and a host of traditional amenities which have distinguished this resort for more than 200 years.
Snowshoe Mountain
Snowshoe Mountain is the number one mountain resort in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Located nearly a mile high in the Allegheny Mountains, Snowshoe's elevation means that the snow piles up early and stays late. With nearly 200" of snow annually, you can be assured of great conditions at just about any time of the season.
Watts Roost Vineyard, located just outside Lewisburg in Greenbrier County, is owned by Frank & Barbara Tuckwiller. They have 9,000 plants on nine acres producing a number of varietals. Established in 1998, the vines flourish at the foot of Muddy Creek Mountain. The French hybrid vines are nurtured by the early morning sun and warm rains on an eastern slope. Their wines have won a variety of awards including the 2012 Wines of the South (Gold - 2009 Chambourcin) and the 2012 West Virginia Commercial Wine Competition (Gold - Greenbrier White).

The Importance of Entrepreneurism and Economic Development in the Greenbrier Valley: Two Programs of the GVEDC Successfully Address the Issue
The GVEDC has made within all its economic development programming, a commitment to include programs and projects that promote business growth through entrepreneurism. The maturation of the process of promoting the development and sustainment of entrepreneurs has netted some recognition for the GVEDC. Two programs, the Entrepreneurial Development Project and the Local Food Initiative have garnered some recognition for their role in promoting business as a career opportunity.
The Entrepreneurial Development Project:
The purpose of this project is the development of an entrepreneurial education program imbedded in the local elementary junior high school curriculums while integrating other entrepreneurial awareness building into the overall economic development strategy of the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation (GVEDC), the multi-county local development organization responsible for the region's business growth and development.
The sixth graders in the Greenbrier County middle schools, where the project was initiated, were presented with an entrepreneurial "creative thinking" pilot project. The Communities in Schools program will be used to implement the first year. A job shadowing program would be implemented in the second year.
Other entrepreneurial programs targeting middle school students are also being evaluated. The Kauffman Foundation has permitted the use of the online site for its "All Terrain Brain" program as a resource in the development of this project.
The facilitator and program coordinator of this grant is Katie Ickes, who served as the Executive Director of the Greater Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce for seven years. Katie Ickes, working with New River Community and Technical College in association with Greenbrier Valley Economic Development, has partnered with Communities in the Schools to teach the Mindset for Success program at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School and Western Greenbrier Middle School.
A number of news outlets have done stories on this program and Katie has been invited to make presentations and join panel discussions about her project. The Mountain Messenger's article entitled "Mindset for Success Program Making a Difference at Middle Schools" highlighted this program. It stated, "Many students do not have a vision of their future and believe they are limited by their current circumstances. Lacking long term goals, they choose to live for the moment and often make unsafe and unhealthy choices. The Mindset for Success program is being presented at Eastern and Western Greenbrier Middle School to address this problem and to encourage innovative and creative entrepreneurial thinking. The program has some components of the All-Terrain Brain program from the Kauffman Foundation for Entrepreneurism. The All-Terrain Brain program and Kauffman's Icehouse program ascertain that having a vision for the future and working towards goals can lead to success and encourage choices that avoid detrimental behavior. An observing teacher noted, "The greatest aspect of this program is that it was that the students who normally struggle in core classes, excelled in this class. It brought students of different levels together as a team and it encouraged them to think outside the box."
In November, 2013, the Appalachian Regional Commission held a conference in Charleston highlighting the developing trend of encouraging and supporting entrepreneurship in Appalachia as a means by which to transform its economy. The conference was entitled "Toward Prosperity: Entrepreneurship; Transforming the Appalachian Economy". The ARC presented a series of case studies to the attendees entitled, "Entrepreneurial Appalachia: Case Studies in Evolving Economic Sectors." The featured sectors included energy, health, manufacturing and local food. The local foods case study featured the Greenbrier Valley and the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation's Local foods Initiative (GVLFI).
The Appalachian Regional Commission is a federal regional economic development organization created through a joint partnership of federal, state, and local government. Established by Congress in 1965, ARC works to promote sustainable community and economic development in Appalachia.
This report examines the trends fostering a change in the local economies of the region, demonstrating how these changes came about through the use of case studies. Each study examines a particular sector, those involved, how the change took place and the results to date. The reports overview states, "Throughout Appalachia, entrepreneurs are forging a new economic model — one based on local investment and local ownership — and their impact is already being felt in some of the Region's evolving economic sectors… Prompted in part by Appalachia's need for economic diversification, the ARC supported this research as a way to summarize entrepreneurial opportunities within these economic sectors and to examine innovative projects that demonstrate multiple benefits to rural and underserved communities."
The study notes the trends, opportunities and challenges facing the local food productions sectors in Appalachia, saying "The local food sector is particularly promising for the Appalachian Region. Appalachia possesses a variety of cultural assets supportive of local food system development… Appalachia is also home to some of the nation's most visionary leadership in the local food movement…"
The Greenbrier Valley, in southeastern West Virginia, is the watershed shared by Pocahontas, Greenbrier, and Monroe counties. While efforts in the local food economy have a long history, several related initiatives that have been operating since 2010 show great promise. These initiatives include: ¬ The Greenbrier Valley Local Foods Initiative (GVLFI): The initiative, a project of the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation, provides technical assistance and training for food and farm entrepreneurs; recently launched the "Greenbrier Valley Grown™" brand; and is exploring the feasibility of a processing, aggregation, and distribution facility for area farmers.
Collaboration between mainstream economic development institutions and grassroots organizations has been integral to the development of the Greenbrier Valley local food economy. The Greenbrier Valley Economic Development
Corporation (GVEDC) has helped area farmers markets access funding, acted as the fiscal sponsor for non-501(c)(3) organizations, and provided office space for start-up groups. In addition to providing local market outlets, grassroots organizations like the Monroe Farm Market, the Pocahontas County Farmers Market and the Greenbrier Valley Pasture Network also conduct community outreach and education, provide networking opportunities for growers and local food supporters, and help leverage additional resources for the continued development of the food economy. AmeriCorps VISTA positions have been used widely and successfully to increase the capacity of grassroots efforts and train the next generation of local food leaders.
The investments of local, regional, and national funders have also been critical to the development of West Virginia's local food economy. In 2012, West Virginia received 2 out of the 13 federally awarded Rural Jobs Accelerator
Grants offered through a partnership between the Economic Development Administration, the USDA Rural Community Development Initiative and the Appalachian Regional Commission. Also, since 2009, the Natural Capital Investment Fund, through its participation in the Central Appalachian Network (CAN), has provided critical startup funding and organizational development support to grassroots local food efforts.

GVEDC Annual Meeting and Dinner
GVEDC Annual Business Dinner creates local support
Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation held its annual meeting on June 19, 2013 at the Elk's Country Club 19th Hole Restaurant with special guest and keynote speaker Dr. L. Marshall Washington, President of New River Community and Technology College. Approximately 50 attendees enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by TLP and a great message from Dr. Washington.
Dr. Washington's message spoke of a multitude of educational opportunities for traditional and non-traditional students in the five NRCTC campuses. Dr. Washington also spoke about the many levels of partnerships NRCTC have with area businesses, non-profit s and individuals. These collaborative efforts have led to identifying the educational needs of the community and utilizing many available resources. One such effort has led to the One Room University in Marlinton, WV. It is great example of overcoming obstacles in rural areas. Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation, Greater Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce and New River Community and Technology College have partnered to present Entrepreneurial Cafes and plan to implement entrepreneurial educational programs in the Greenbrier County school system. Dr. Washington attended the last Entrepreneurial Café and was highly impressed with the presentations and local talent.
"The support of President Washington and New River has been crucial to the success of the Cafes. I appreciate his understanding of the importance of developing an entrepreneurial mindset through our student programming and supporting our present entrepreneurs to grow our local economy in the 21stcentury," stated Katie C. Ickes, Entrepreneurial Program Coordinator for GVEDC.
Stephen Weir, Executive Director of GVEDC, completed an overview of GVEDC's latest efforts with the GVEDC Food Program, creating new business in wood products and continued expansion with technology with ABB Appalachian Electronics and UTC.
Many of the attendees are very excited about GVEDC efforts. Lucy Bell, GED Instructor at NRCTC stated, "I came for the sole purpose of hearing Dr. Washington's speech but came back very enlightened with GVEDC and decided to become a member."
Other attendees were very excited about all efforts of both GVEDC and NRCTC. Janice Shelton, Manager of Workforce WV stated, "I came to hear Dr. Washington and was pleased to hear about the partnership with GVEDC and about the research that has been completed to determine our business needs in this community." John Tuggle, President of Pentree stated, "It was great to hear Dr. Washington's message about getting nonprofits involved in partnership with NRCTC to ultimately promote growth in this area."

Pennsylvania House Approves Axing Tax on Aircraft Maintenance, Parts
May 24, 2012 - The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted 179-19 this week in favor of PA House Bill 1100, which eliminates the 6 percent use tax on all aircraft parts, including maintenance and installation, on all aircraft. The state senate is expected to take up the measure in early June.
The effort involved several segments of the GA community, including EAA, AOPA, NBAA, and NATA. EAA issued two EAA Government Relations Notices asking state members for their support. Special thanks to Ben Armen, EAA 857265, and Robert Rockmaker, EAA 1024323, executive director of the aviation council of Pennsylvania, who were key players in the advocacy effort.
If passed by the state's Senate and signed by the governor, the bill will create an environment within Pennsylvania that will foster job growth and make aviation more affordable for all aircraft owners living and flying through Pennsylvania.

Washington, D.C. - House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks in the House chamber following the election of Congressman John Boehner of Ohio as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Below are the Leader's remarks as prepared for delivery.
"It is a high honor to welcome all Members of Congress and their families to the House of Representatives.
"To the new members and their families, let me offer a special welcome and congratulations.
"We all come here to represent our constituents; our respect for each other is rooted in our respect for the people we serve.
"This month we will observe the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's inauguration. As a student, I was there in the freezing cold and heard the stirring address which inspired generations of Americans to public service.
"In his 1962 State of the Union address, from this same dais, President Kennedy said to Congress, 'The Constitution makes us…all trustees for the American people, custodians of the American heritage.'
"Today, as we take the oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, we do so as trustees of America's best hopes and custodians of America's highest ideals.
"However we may differ, let us never lose sight of our common love for this exceptional nation and our shared obligation to light the way forward.
"Our families have always helped light the way forward for us.
"With a full and grateful heart, let me thank my family: my husband of 47 years, Paul; my children - Nancy Corinne, Christine, Jacqueline, Paul and Alexandra; and my grandchildren. I'm proud to come from a large family - the youngest of seven - and to acknowledge my brother, Thomas D'Alesandro III, former Mayor of Baltimore.
"Let me thank my constituents in San Francisco, whom I am proud to serve in the spirit of the anthem of our city, the Song of St. Francis.
"And I am grateful to my colleagues for their commitment to equality - which is both our heritage and our hope - giving me the historic honor of serving as the first woman Speaker of the House.
"And now more doors are wide open for all of America's daughters and granddaughters.
"I was also honored to serve as the first Italian-American Speaker. Like many Americans, my heritage is a source of great pride and a deeply engrained patriotism which summons us to build a stronger nation.
"We recognize that the proudest title we will ever hold is not accorded on this floor. It is the simple dignity of the title American, part of our great democracy that continues to be the greatest hope of liberty and progress for the entire world.
"When I was first elected Speaker, I called the House to order on behalf of America's children.
"As I now prepare to hand over the gavel, I know one thing above all else. Thanks to you, we have stood for those children and for their families--for their health, their education, the safety of the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the food they eat.
"Thanks to you, for those children and families, we:
- Made the largest-ever commitment to making college more affordable;
- Enacted Wall Street Reform with the greatest consumer protections in history;
- And passed a strong Patient's Bill of Rights.
"It means:
- Children with pre-existing conditions can get coverage;
- Young people can stay on their parents' plans until age 26;
- Pregnant women and breast and prostate cancer patients can no longer be thrown off the insurance rolls;
- Our seniors are paying less for needed prescription drugs.
- Taken together, this will save the taxpayers $1.3 trillion.
"Thanks to you, we advanced the defining American cause of equality for all, from the first days of the Congress with the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to the last days with the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'
"And thanks to you, we achieved more for America's veterans than at any time since the passage of the GI Bill of Rights in 1944. Because of our courageous troops and veterans, we will always be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
"Let us now salute our men and women in uniform.
"We must build a future worthy of their sacrifice, which includes good-paying jobs for them when they come home.
"It is not enough that we staved off a depression. Much more needs to be done to open up the American dream and lift up the American economy.
"The only acceptable outcome is to fully and finally restore a fair prosperity that good-paying jobs provide.
"Our most important job is to fight for American jobs - to make it in America. And so Democrats will judge what comes before Congress by whether it creates jobs, strengthens our middle class, and reduces the deficit - not burdening future generations with debt.
"When the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and the new Republican majority, come forward with solutions that address these American challenges, you will find in us a willing partner.
"As we congratulate Speaker Boehner and our Republican colleagues - as we wish them success - we must stand ready to find common ground, to solve problems, and to build a more secure future for all Americans. And as we take the oath of office today to support and defend the Constitution, we must be ever-mindful that it 'makes us…all trustees for the American people, custodians of the American heritage.'
"Thank you my colleagues for the honor of serving in that proud tradition as Speaker of the House.
"I congratulate the new majority in the House and the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner.
"Now the House will be led by a proud son of Ohio, a man of conviction, a public servant of resolve, and a legislator of skill. Speaker Boehner is a leader who has earned the confidence of his Conference and the respect of his colleagues in the House. He is a man of faith: faith in God, faith in his country, and faith in his family.
"As we congratulate him, we also congratulate and thank his wife Debbie, their two daughters Lindsay and Tricia, and the entire Boehner family.
"Recognizing our roles under the Constitution, united in our love of country, we now engage in a strong symbol of American democracy: the peaceful and respectful exchange of power.
"I will now pass on this gavel--and the sacred trust that goes with it - to the new Speaker.
"God bless you, Speaker Boehner.
"God bless this Congress.
"God bless America."

If you buy and then use certain software products from Microsoft, you agree (remember clicking that little "I agree" box?) to the license terms. The newest licenses have a new twist. If you buy and the software utterly stinks, you can't be part of a class action lawsuit.
At first blush this seems pretty bogus. But so do most class action lawsuits. These suits are designed to do one thing: make the lawyers rich. Plaintiffs are lucky enough to get a piece of Bazooka Joe out of the deal.
Looks like this may extend to all Microsoft products.
What is your take on all this? Don't tell it to the judge, tell it to me at email@example.com.

Hey, guess what, class action suits have a place! They keep big corporations honest! They keep companies honest. Maybe, all the individuals should sue independently and tie up the courts and corporations for years!!
They get away with it because the people let them. If the population of the USA stood up and forced their politicians to make reasonable laws then this never would have been possible.Meanwhile, at least Europe is keeping the big organisations honest. Why is it that the USA - once reputed to be "home of the brave and land of the free" has become home of the "let them do whatever they like - it is all too hard"?
To me this is a Symptom of Microsoft's long term attitude. While they have gotten slightly better on Monopoly (through court orders) and Security (by increasing focus) they are still struggling to "get it". In my opinion one of the reasons for failure of Windows Phone is that many are tired of Microsoft's ways. They want to see Apple do well, Google do well, etc... Having an 800 lb Gorilla limits choices. Windows is already somewhat entrenched so people stay with what they are comfortable with (to some degree anyway). Windows 8 could very well be make or break for MIcrosoft if they don't treat customers well with regard pricing, features, realiability(it IS an alternating version like Mellinium and Vista so it is probably that it will have bugs/problems). Sometimes Microsoft can be it's own worst enemy and they don't even realize it.
Like all sofware agreements, this will only hold true where it does not conflict with local law. Any guesses as to how many places this will hold true? My guess woule be 'not many'.
It would really depend on the circumstances, mat may still be able to sue.
Take a roller coaster ride for instance. Say I had one and made everybody sign a waiver before they go on saying that they cant sue. If someone rode the ride and threw up or lost their phone or something minor, the judge most likely wouldn't hear their case. But if I said I don't need to put oil on it cause they can't sue and the car goes off the tracks and kills people, i would bet the judge would hear the case regardless of any waiver.
