Language Schools award master's and doctoral degrees
August 15, 2011
MIDDLEBURY, Vt.— The Middlebury Language Schools conferred 137 master's degrees and two doctoral degrees at its 97th commencement on August 12 in Mead Chapel.
The 16th president of Middlebury College, Ronald D. Liebowitz, and the directors of the Language Schools presented the Master of Arts degrees in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Mediterranean Studies, Russian, and Spanish, and Doctor of Modern Languages degrees to the two candidates who completed advanced study in two foreign languages.
Max Marmor, the president of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, delivered the commencement address and said his foundation has "long admired the Kathryn W. Davis Fellowships for Peace, which have meant so much to Middlebury and to the world. We Americans, alas, are not a nation of linguists. And a deep strain of American exceptionalism sometimes leads us to regard this as a virtue.
"Yet in our better moments, we know that we should be meeting the world half-way more frequently than we tend to do. I hope the Kress Fellowships at Middlebury will make at least a modest contribution to that cause." The Kress Fellowships for Language Study enable outstanding graduate students of art history to attend the French, German, Italian or Spanish Schools. Based on merit, the fellowships cover the cost of a summer's tuition, room and board to the Language Schools.
Marmor explained, "We at Kress can't claim to be advancing the cause of world peace. But we do seek through this and other funding programs to foster true dialogue across nations and cultures."
After his address, the College conferred academic degrees upon its newest graduates and an Honorary Doctor of Arts upon Marmor in recognition of his outstanding career as an art historian and librarian.
Marmor served in senior positions with the UCLA Art Library, the Avery Library at Columbia University and the NYU Institute of Fine Arts Library. From 1994 to 2001 he was director of the Yale Arts Library, and from 2001 until his appointment with Kress in 2007 he was director of collection development and a member of the ARTstor digital initiative group at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
President Liebowitz opened the ceremony by examining the history of Middlebury College and by acknowledging the contributions of five people in particular: Gamaliel Painter, one of the founding fathers of both the town and the college; Lilian Stroebe, who started the first language school at Middlebury, the German School, in 1915; Professor Stephen A. Freeman, who served the college and the Language Schools from 1925 to 1963; Betty Ashbury Jones, graduate of the French School, supporter of the Language Schools and trustee emerita of the college; and Kathryn Wasserman Davis, the 104-year-old philanthropist and renowned champion of international peace.
He said, "The sustained pursuit of foreign language study and culture, and an awareness of the fact that through such study we break down multiple barriers and increase intercultural understanding, has become a great distinguishing characteristic of this institution. The Language Schools have been a large part of this special claim that we at Middlebury College treasure and honor."
|Doctor of Modern Languages recipients Norma E. George and Michael D.S. Herrera
Michael E. Geisler, vice president for Language Schools, Schools Abroad and Graduate Programs, welcomed all to the ceremony. "This year over 1,500 students attended the Middlebury Language Schools here in Vermont and at our second site in California," he said, "with almost 1,000 of them coming not to earn a degree, but just to study language. To learn to talk like people from another culture, joke like people from another culture and even argue as people argue like people from another culture.
"In doing so each and every one of them, just as our graduates have done tonight, risks not just failure or embarrassment but far more. [Language Schools students] risk their identity; they risk their sense of self. . . . In no other academic discipline that I can think of do you put the very core of your being on the line, for yourself and for the world as you know it. For having the courage to do that, I salute you."
After two musical interludes presented by students and the presentation of awards for distinguished study in the four languages for which the college does not award graduate degrees (Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese and Portuguese), the ceremony concluded with the singing of "Gamaliel Painter's Cane," led by François Clemmons, the Twilight Artist in Residence.
Then the graduates and guests then rose and marched into the Vermont night, led by marshals Jacobo Sefamí and Antonio Vitti, directors of the Spanish and Italian Schools, respectively, as Emory Fanning, professor emeritus of music, played the recessional on the grand Mead Chapel organ.

Happy anniversary to Louie, who joined the DRC family in 2011. This handsome young man needed a forever home after being a victim of the oil spill in Louisiana. He was found on a beach, estimated to be around six to eight months old, covered in oil all alone. Given only a 5% chance of survival, Louie beat the odds and recovered. Deemed unreleasable by the government due to his age, he was "adopted..." by Aleta and Delta when he joined our family. Louie is an eager learner and loves to take part in cognitive games. He's one of the first dolphins to show up for play or enrichment sessions. We are so blessed to have Louie as a member of the Dolphin Research Center family. Happy anniversary Lou, we love you!

|This article is about races in GTA IV multiplayer. For the single player races in GTA IV see Brucie's Races.
- "Prove you're genetically different. Beat the rest of the players to the finish. Race to the finish, passing through each checkpoint in order. Hold (which-ever button described ingame) to respawn your vehicle on the last checkpoint passed."
- ―Ingame Description.
A Race is a competitive multiplayer game in Grand Theft Auto IV. The race is customizable to suit the player in control's wants.
(Italics means that the player can choose regardless if they are the one in control or not)
- Race Class (16 Vehicle Classes, Boats, Helicopters, Free Race or Cannonball Run)
- Vehicle
- Vehicle Color
- Race Track

Vehicle Class
The vehicles of the game are split into different classes. These are listed below with the fastest car of the class at the top, and the slowest at the bottom;
|2 Door
|4 Door
|People Carrier
The Lost and Damned
The following race classes are exclusive to the first episodic pack, The Lost and Damned.
Note: the three bike-based classes in The Lost and Damned arm players with a Baseball Bat, similar to the single player races.
|The Lost
|Angels of Death

The following race classes are exclusive to the second episodic pack, The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Note: all vehicles in The Ballad of Gay Tony's races are equipped with nitrous, similar to the single player Triathlon.
|Sports cars
|American Classic
|Sports bikes
Note: the APC class is only available if GTA Races is selected.
In a race, the player may not exit his/her vehicle and can respawn to the last checkpoint, except in Free Race or Cannonball Run.
GTA Race
- "Dominate competitors in an all out war to the finish. Race and fight your way through the checkpoints in order and then hit the finish. You can only hold one drive-by weapon at a time, hold (which-ever button described ingame)to drop your currently selected weapon when in an vehicle."
- ―Ingame Description
A GTA Race is essentially the same as a normal Race, but the competitors may use weapons to kill or slow down the competition. Players may also exit and enter other vehicles.
There are two additional features for a GTA Race, including which weapons will spawn on the track (All Weapons, Off, Health Only, Pistols, Shotguns, SMGs, All Guns or Guns & Grenades) and Auto-Aim (Allow or Disallow). The Rocket Launcher and Molotov Cocktails also appear, but only on the "All Weapons" setting.
If someone dies in a GTA Race, he/she will respawn at the last completed Checkpoint on a Faggio.
However, these races can be very cheap and turn into impromptu Deathmatches, as other players often block off the road near a weapon location and spawn kill many players, often getting more money than the winner of the race. Also, these players will be armed and protecting a checkpoint for a long period of time, interrupting everyone who would try to pass.

The Original Maraschino Cherry
Bringing cherries and maraschino back to Maraschino Cherries.
Wow, the Farmers Market was suddenly bursting with cherries today, which is very exciting for me since we just ran out of cherries for cocktails.
Traditionally, Maraschino Cherries were made by steeping marasca cherries, from the mountains of Croatia, in Maraschino liqueur, which was made from the very same marasca cherries, along with their leaves and pits. However, like many good things in the world of cocktails, the 20th century's fusion of progress and bureaucracy conspired to make them into the sucky near plastic concoction that we all know today.
Currently, Maraschino Cherries are officially defined by the Food and Drug Administration as "cherries which have been dyed red, impregnated with sugar and packed in a sugar sirup flavored with oil of bitter almonds or a similar flavor". Can't say I am a fan of eating anything that has been "Impregnated" and "Packed", but this definition came into usage in the 1940s when the FDA refined many of its rules. The process basically brines the cherries so that they become completely flavorless and colorless and then the flavor and color are added back in with dye, corn syrup and artificial flavoring.
As the cherries became less related to their original ingredients they also lost the thing that made their name make sense, being made from marasca cherries. Most people now pronounce them like mara-SHEE-no, which I guess is kind of appropriate for their sheeny plasticy quality, but since they were made from marasca cherries they are actually pronounced mara-SKEE-no. However be prepared to come off as an insufferable cocktail geek if you correct anyone in mixed company for saying it wrong.
So, back to the near infinite collection of cherries I just brought back from the farmers market, I decided to mix up a batch of traditional maraschino cherries. If you are lazy or can't find cherries or maraschino liqueur you can actually just buy good cherries pre-made here, but in the department of easy to make cocktail ingredients, this is one of the easiest if you have the ingredients.
You start by pitting a pint of cherries, sour cherries are most like marasca, but a sweeter cherry like a bing or a brooks will do just fine if you use the smaller cherries in the batch. Put the cherries in a bell jar or some sealable container, and then pour warmed maraschino liqueur over them until they are completely covered. You can warm the liqueur in a sauce pan on the stove over low heat for a minute or two so that it is just hot to the touch. Seal the jar up and put it in the refrigerator for a few days and then open and enjoy yourself a Manhattan or a properly made Old Fashioned.

Ogando confident he would have made difference
ARLINGTON -- Pitcher Alexi Ogando was asked if the Rangers would be in first place if he had been able to stay healthy all year.
"I don't know," Ogando said. "I tried but … I think so."
Ogando wasn't healthy all year. He was on the disabled list three times for biceps and shoulder inflammation and was able to make just 17 starts. Derek Holland made his 32nd start on Monday and Yu Darvish will make his 31st start Tuesday.
Ogando is showing lately what might have been in those 14-15 missing starts. He has allowed just one run in 18 innings over two starts and four relief appearances since coming off the disabled list at the beginning of September. He has allowed just five hits and three walks while striking out 14.
"Right now, I feel strong," Ogando said. "I feel comfortable. I worked hard for that."
Ogando is 7-4 with a 2.93 ERA over 98 1/3 innings, and opponents are hitting .218 against him. His 2.93 ERA would rank fifth best in the American League if Ogando had enough innings. Only two qualifying pitchers have held opponents to a lower batting average. Ogando threw seven scoreless innings on Sunday against the Royals.
"I'm just really encouraged," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "He has been outstanding, and he did it without a rehab assignment. He has been building up on the fly. I'm looking forward to his next start and beyond."

http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/images/size340/Pope_Francis_greets_the_crowd_at_Castel_Gandolfo_before_the_Sunday_Angelus_on_July_14_2013_Credit_Lauren_Cater_CNA_CNA_Catholic_News_7_15_13.jpgCaserta, Italy, Jul 28, 2014 / 04:27 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- During his visit Monday to an evangelical Christian community in Caserta, Pope Francis said the Holy Spirit creates diversity and unity in the Church, so that the Church lives a "reconciling diversity."
He suggested July 28 that the path to unity may be pursued by "going to peripheries and touching the flesh of Christ."
Pope Francis' second trip in three days to Caserta – punctuated by his return to Rome for Sunday's Angelus address – was meant to be a private meeting with his long term friend, evangelical pastor Giovanni Traettino and his Pentecostal Community of Reconciliation.
In his off the cuff address, which lasted about 30 minutes, Pope Francis asked forgiveness for the Catholics who, in the 1930s, contributed to the persecution of pentecostals under Mussolini and the Fascists.
"Among those who persecuted and denounced pentecostals … there were also Catholics. I am the shepherd of Catholics, and I ask you forgiveness for those Catholic brothers and sisters who have not understood, and have been temptated by the devil."
Pope Francis maintained that even for the Pope "there is the temptation of assessing: I am the Church, you are a sect. Jesus has prayed for unity. The Holy Spirit makes diversity in the Church. But the same Holy Spirit makes unity, and the Church is unity in diversity. A diversity reconciled through the Holy Spirit."
Pope Francis spoke at the conclusion of an ecumenical celebration, in which some 350 persons took part. The celebration included three testimonials of faith, a musical performance, and addresses by both Traettino and Pope Francis.
Prior to the celebration, Pope Francis spent some 50 minutes with Traettino at his home.
Traettino's reconciliation community was founded about 20 years ago, while Raffaele Nogaro was Bishop of Caserta.
Traettino and Bishop Nogaro soon became friends, which made the evangelical community's church a central point for ecumenical efforts in the city.
Pope Francis had learned of Caserta's ecumenical commitment from Traettino, who visited Argentina on business and with whom he had become friendly while Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
In his address, Traettino said that the Pope, "with but one gesture, overcame 'protocol' and got to the heart of human relations."
"You gave us a great, and unexpected gift … I can say on behalf of all of us, that we love you. You came to visit your brother where he is, as he is."
Pope Francis in turn stressed that "some may be surprised that the Pope has come to meet the evangelicals. I have come to visit the brethren."
Pope Francis' request of forgiveness dealt with religious persecution against evangelicals that took place in Italy under Fascism.
Pentecostals were excluded from the religious confessions admitted by a 1929 law, because they lacked a central governing body. Pentecostal worship was then forbidden in Italy in 1935.
After that time, their worship was denounced, including by some priests, and some pentecostal pastors were sent to prisons or concentration camps.
Pope Francis asked forgiveness for those Catholics who had behaved as did the 11 brothers of Joseph who, influenced by the devil and envious, sold him as a slave.
Following the celebration, he lunched with the evangelical community.
He was expected to visit the convent of nuns of Falciano, a Caserta suburb. The convent is home to five nuns who work with children, and a small crowd was waiting to see him in front of the enclosure.
But as his lunch with evangelicals lasted longer than expected, Pope Francis did not have time to visit the consecrated religious of Falciano.
Once the meal ended, he had time to meet two disabled children before returning to the Vatican.

Item condition:
Retail Price : $699.00
Your Price : $450.00
An homage to the golden days of guitar building with a Sitka spruce top, herringbone binding and TK40 preamp.
A new classic is born. The Takamine EG536SHB Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar pays homage to the Golden days of guitar building in a thoroughly modern package at an incredible price.
This herringbone dreadnought is built to perform. High grade Sitka spruce is chosen for the soundboard to create a voice that is powerful and dynamic with a broad tonal range. Match this with a rosewood back and sides for maximum projection and a Takamine TK40 Preamp pickup and preamp system and you have every performance situation well covered.
TK40 Preamp Features
The Takamine TK40 Preamp found on G-Series guitars features volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a Notch Filter, Tuner and a Mid Contour Switch. The preamp is switched on by plugging a standard 1/4″ mono instrument cable into the endpin strap pin/jack. These last four features are described in greater detail below:
EQ Bypass: This push button enables the user to engage or defeat the EQ section. When the switch is in the depressed position, the EQ is active. Return the switch to the "up" position and the EQ circuit is bypassed. The bypass of the EQ circuit is desirable in some studio or live environments where external EQ is preferable. The user can also use this defeat switch to quickly check the results of the EQ adjustments relative to the original sound.
Notch Filter: A Notch Filter is a very special kind of EQ, an extremely narrow and deep cut of an audio frequency band. The TK-4N has a "tunable" notch filter which empowers the user to select the specific frequency band that will be affected by the notch. With this tunable notch filter the user can "surgically" remove troublesome feedback frequencies that occur due to the natural resonance of the guitar and interaction with the environment.
The notch control provides control of the center frequency of the notch effect. When the monitor or stage levels are too high, and the user hears the guitar starting to feed back, the player can engage the notch circuitry by pushing the "In/Out" button under the "Notch Filter" knob, and simply tune the filter (actually changing the center frequency of the notch) by slowly rotating the notch control until the feedback is eliminated.
Mid Contour: By pushing (activating) the Mid Contour button, the user is selecting a pre-shape EQ that emphasizes the frequencies normally found to be "desirable" in an acoustic guitar (400 Hz). With the Mid Contour button is depressed, the mid EQ is effectively controlling "nasal" tone qualities while in the up position, the mid control can add punch in upper mids or help "round off" the attack present in this frequency spectrum. The user should experiment with the button and the "Middle" control to determine their sound preference.
Tuner: The tuner in the TK40 is fully chromatic and automatic. The battery drops into the top of the preamp under the battery cover. There are "+" and "-" markings at the bottom of the compartment. Press the tuner switch to activate it. The note played is shown in the digital display. Up and down arrows will appear, when both are on and not flashing, the note is in tune. If the "up" arrow is flashing the string must be tuned higher, and if the "down" arrow is flashing the string must be tuned lower. The slower the arrow flashes, the closer the string is to being in tune to the note displayed. The tuner does not mute the output and turns off automatically after one minute. It can't be turned off manually.
A replica of one of Takamine's Flatpickers series, the EG536SHB is an absolute cannon and tone monster in a more affordable price point.
- Dreadnought non-cutaway body
- High grade Sitka spruce
- Rosewood back and sides
- Classic herringbone binding
- TK40 Preamp
This guitar has been refurbished by MIRC. It is lightly stamped "used" on the back of the headstock and a new serial number applied to prevent the guitar from being sold as new factory stock. That being said, this guitar is about as close to new as 'used' can get! Everything works, plays, and sounds as it should. There have been no structural repairs. There is a scuff mark on the headstock face, and an imperfection in the top that can be seen in the pics. Other than that, this guitar is in fantastic condition and plays perfectly! You WON'T be disappointed!
Guitar retails for $699.00
Free shipping in continental US. All other locations will be charged $125 shipping unless a shipping quote is obtained by contacting us before purchasing.
Appropriate sales tax will be added for buyers in Iowa.
Thanks for looking!

Science fiction and fantasy can expand your mind and thrill your senses — but they can also make you laugh your head off. Some of the funniest books, movies and TV shows are science fiction. But what's the funniest fantasy or science fiction comedy ever?
As with yesterday's post about outer-space shows, we're trying a slightly different format this week, to determine the top 10 or 20 things in this category. The steps are:
1) Post only one comment per item. Please check to make sure someone else hasn't already posted it before you, or you will split the vote.
2) Don't just include a picture, include the name of the thing, so people can do a word search for it. But please also include a picture or clip.
3) Vote for the thing you think is the best, by starring the comment that contains it. Feel free to explain why this is the best in the category, by responding to that comment — we can get epic threads going about a lot of these shows/movies/books.
4) Please be nice. We all love to argue about what's the greatest thing, but there's no need to be mean.
5) Have fun!

Many people in Catalonia (Spain) think that archaeologists are only students or volunteers working with a lot of enthusiasm. But our passion is a professional way of life and that is the reason why three of us created Arkpadoc, a company specialized in commercial archaeology.
Today, a special day, we want to share with others the state of our projects. We work with new technologies, incorporating photogrametry in archaeological drawing. We also incorporate it in the analysis of structures and ancient buildings. It allows us to know the historical evolution of each one. Today we're working in a great project where Museum of Catalonian History is involved too. We're providing support to the documentation team of Escaladei's study and reconstruction. Escaladei is a Carthusian monastery located in the Montsant mountains (Priorat, Catalonia)
At the same time, we're cooperating in the catalogation of the typical rural constructions -called "masies"- in a little town, La Garriga, 30 km from Barcelona. Now, we're in the last episode of a huge work which includes documentation of each building, historical review, GIS applications, etc.
We're very proud of our job. Revealing our common heritage and promoting it are the reasons to work hard every day, not only this special "Day of Archaeology".
Thanks a lot!
Arkpadoc SC.

Healthy women who do not smoke cigarettes have almost no chance of having a severe side effect from taking oral contraceptives. For most women, more problems occur because of pregnancy than will occur from taking oral contraceptives. But for some women who have special health problems, oral contraceptives can cause some unwanted effects. Some of these unwanted effects include benign (not cancerous) liver tumors, liver cancer, or blood clots or related problems, such as a stroke. Although these effects are very rare, they can be serious enough to cause death. You may want to discuss these effects with your doctor.
Smoking cigarettes during the use of oral contraceptives has been found to greatly increase the chances of these serious side effects occurring. To reduce the risk of serious side effects, do not smoke cigarettes while you are taking oral contraceptives. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from oral contraceptive use. The risk increases with age and with heavy smoking (15 or more cigarettes per day) and is quite marked in women over 35 years of age.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
The following side effects may be caused by blood clots. Get emergency help immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Are the Jenners heading for a split?
Bruce Jenner is allegedly preparing to file for divorce from Kris Jenner.
The 63-year-old Olympic gold medallist is said to have consulted a lawyer after 21 years of marriage because he is fed up with Kris, 55 - who manages her entire family's careers - flirting with younger men and her increasingly large ego.
A source told the National Enquirer: "Bruce feels that Kris treats him like a doormat, and he's had enough.
"She constantly belittles his appearance and complains to mutual friends that he's a boring old fart. Then she has the gall to flaunt her relationships with younger guys in his face."
Bruce shares two biological children with Kris, daughters Kendall, 17, and Kylie, 15, but they both have four other children each from previous relationships, including her famous daughters Kim, 32, Kourtney, 33, and 28-year-old Khloe Kardashian.
"He hates it when cronies at the Country Club jokingly call him Bruce Kardashian. Kris is continually perceived as the money-maker and the one who wears the pants in the family, and he's sick and tired of the humiliation," the source said.
Bruce has reportedly already met with a lawyer to discuss a legal separation, which would involve dividing the couple's estimated $155 million fortune.
An insider said: "One of Bruce's pals, who's a sports entertainment lawyer, has helped Bruce value the assets of the Kardashian-Jenner empire if he moves forward with a split. He's also talked to a divorce attorney buddy about potential custody arrangements for his two girls with Kris."

Apparently Visalia is in California, and NOT in
The Visalia Oaks are the "Advanced-A" minor league team for the D-Rays. In the past, teams had B-teams, C-teams and even D-teams. Now there are "Advanced-A", "A", "Short-Season-A" and "Rookie League". Our report cards would have looked a lot better if schools followed the same sytem. The Oaks are managed by Stu Cole, who played nine games with the Kansas City Royals as a middle infielder.
Key players we will be keeping tabs on throughout the season
Reid Brignac, 20 years old, SS. Brignac was the second round pick of the D-Rays in the 2004 amateur draft. After a promising debut season in 2004, he struggled last season at
Christopher Mason, 21, RHP. Mason was the second pick of the D-Rays in the 2005 amateur draft, out of UNC-Greensboro, and possesses a 95 mph fastball. Used sparingly out of the bullpen last season, he posted strong numbers and will try to build on those in his first full professional season. Look for Mason to be in
Francisco Leandro, 25, OF. Leandro has only two years of professional ball under his belt and his numbers have been impressive. He spent the second half of 2005 in
Fernando Perez, 22, OF. Perez is considered one of the fastest players in all of baseball. He led the Midwest League last season with 58 stolen bases in 134 games and batted .289 with a .361 OBP.

CPD captain promoted to assistant chief as layoffs loom
Bailey is 25-year veteran
The Cincinnati Police Department is promoting one of its own to assistant chief.
Capt. David Bailey has been the head of the special investigation section, overseeing departments such as vice and narcotics.
"When (the ceremony) is over with, go back to work, roll up your sleeves and figure out how we make a good police department even better," Bailey said.
He's a 25-year Cincinnati police veteran, and as a lieutenant colonel, he will now be one of the assistant chiefs behind Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig.
"I'm proud of Dave. He really represents the continuing future of this police department," Craig said.
Craig is in the running to be the chief of police in Detroit, and it appears that he is very close to being offered the job.
Talk of police layoffs also loomed over Bailey's swearing-in ceremony Monday.
"Clearly, this is a financially challenging time for the Cincinnati Police Department, and anyone in a leadership role will feel that pressure," City Manager Milton Dohoney said.
Bailey said he was looking forward to his new role within the department.
"One of my challenges here, one of my roles, will be to make sure we minimize the impact of these layoffs if they occur and move the department forward," Bailey said.
Budget plans and layoffs are still not final but the police department could be losing as many as 66 officers.
Craig mentioned where officers would be cut.
"Our youth services -- the work we do with our youth, Explorers, the cadet program, our City camp -- those things will be shut off; our school resource officers; because our core priority is getting officers in the field to respond to calls for service," Craig said.
The city's budget deadline is June 1.
Public hearings are scheduled before a decision is made. The first will be Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Duke Energy Center.
In Detroit, The Detroit Free Press says the field of chief candidates is now down to Craig and one other person.

Conservation through Education
of Cranes (Gruiformes)
Cranes are one of the oldest of all living things dating back millions of years. In this WORLD, Cranes are represented
by three species, considered tallest and most beautiful of all cranes.
Common Name: West
African Crowned Crane
Genus/Species: Balearica
pavonina pavonina
Western Africa in the Sahel and Sudan savanna region of Africa, from Senegal and
Gambia on the Atlantic coast to the upper Nile River basin in Sudan and
Natural Habitat:
Open landscapes such as extensive marshy areas, low moors, rifts, bogs, along
the shores of lakes, ponds and grasslands near water.
Physical Appearance:
Physical appearance may slightly vary depending on geographic area. The
West African Crowned Crane is about 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and weighs 3.5 kg (7.7
lbs). Its body plumage is mainly
black. The wings are also
predominantly white, but contain feathers with a range of colours. The head has a crown of stiff golden
feathers. The sides of the face are
white with a red patch, and there is a bright red inflatable throat pouch. The bill is relatively short and
black, and the legs are black. The
sexes are similar, although males tend to be slightly larger. Young birds are greyer than adults,
with a feathered buff face.
The Breeding display involves dancing, bowing and jumping. It has a booming call which involves
inflation of the red gular sac. It
also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane
species. The 2 to 5 pale
bluish-green eggs are incubated for 28 to 31 days by both Female and Male in a
nest made of grass and other plants in tall wetland vegetation. Both parents
care for the young. Flight stage is
reached by the young after about 56 to 100 days depending on nutrition. Even
within large flocks, the birds can be seen to move about in pairs, suggesting a
prolonged pair bond. Within such
flocks, displays are not infrequent, and mutual preening, especially of the neck
feathers, has also been observed.
STATUS in Natural Habitat:
Threatened to endangered in most parts of its habitat due to drainage,
overgrazing and pesticide pollution.
Cool Fact:
One of the most beautiful of all cranes and the only crane which will roost in
trees. The spectacular dances
performed by the adults are not strictly connected with reproductive behavior
but are also an expression of joy.

Brewers played above .500 without Braun
NEW YORK -- The Brewers posted a winning record in the wake of Ryan Braun's season-ending suspension (33-32 after Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Mets) but they will be a better team when he returns, manager Ron Roenicke said.
Barring injuries, the Brewers project a solid 2014 starting lineup that begins with right fielder Norichika Aoki, shortstop Jean Segura, Braun, third baseman Aramis Ramirez, catcher Jonathan Lucroy and center fielder Carlos Gomez. Segura and Gomez were All-Stars in 2013, and Lucroy has had his best season of run production with 82 RBIs.
"There's going to be some things that happen with him, but it's a good thing [to get Braun back], a real good thing," Roenicke said. "If we get him back, and we get Aramis back healthy, we know we're good 3-4 [in the batting order]. 'Luc' fits in there because he's been hitting third all year, basically, since Braun has been out.
"To have those guys we know who can drive in runs, who are going to have good years, it's important for that consistency of being able to score runs. Not just one here, then six, then shut out. So if our pitching pitches the way we think they can, we should be in every game."
Braun is signed through at least 2020, and Ramirez was stating the obvious when he said a successful resurgence for Braun would be "important for him, for the team, for the franchise, for everybody. We need Brauny. He is the best player in here in this clubhouse. You need your best player to be out there."
Will Braun still be the Brewers' best player?
"I don't think there's a question," Ramirez said. "If you can play, you'll play," Ramirez said. "Obviously he made a mistake. He's going to have to prove he's good without it, but I think he's a good player. If you have talent, you're going to be a good player."

Art major Soe Yu Nwe, '13, adds to her string of undergraduate achievements with the Michigan Ceramic Art Association's 2012 Scholarship Award. The statewide competition, intended to encourage serious students of ceramics, included a $1,000 prize.
"I thought maybe I was the only one who applied," Nwe said modestly of her reaction to the news. "But this definitely gives me confidence in applying to graduate school. It feels nice that other people are appreciating my work, not just my professor."
Nwe said she will use the scholarship primarily for travel expenses. She plans to visit several ceramics graduate programs, including a top-ranked program at Alfred University in upstate New York.
"It's a stunning prize," commented art professor Lynne Chytilo, Nwe's adviser. "The applications came from all over the state. Joy has a remarkable talent."
An international student from Burma, Nwe knew nothing about ceramics before arriving at Albion College in 2009. She has since won other juried awards for her work, along with two grants from Albion College's Foundation for Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity.

Harwinton House restoration project receives boost from grants
HARWINTON >> The plan to rebuild the Harwinton House is getting a boost from two grants totaling $21,800.
First Selectman Michael Criss said the Connecticut Trust Preservation Group granted the project $10,900. A matching grant was given to the project by the non-profit organization Litchfield Preservation Trust.
The Harwinton House was built in 1795. In 1931, it was dismantled and rebuilt in New Canaan. Then, in 2011, it was saved from demolition and its 18th century components were stripepd from the house and taken to Harwinton, where they remain in storage. That was funded by a STEAP grant.
The grants will cover the cost of site planning, cost estimates, construction drawings and other architectural services, Criss said.
"With these funds the project can finally get moving forward and hopefully completed by early next year." said Criss, adding that about $300,000 is still needed to finish the project. In addition to the grants, the Harwinton Historical Society has already donated $25,000 it raised, meaning about $250,000 still has to be raised.
"Knowing we are trying to accomplish this project in the worst possible economic climate, these two grants are very significant," said Roger Plaskett, town historian and the chairman of the Harwinton House Building Committee. "The timing is perfect as the committee is well into the site planning and engineering phase."
According to information compiled by Plaskett, the house was originally located in a wooded area off of Route 72 and Blueberry Hill Road, in what is now the Bristol Water Company property. It was originally built by Stephen Graves, who was a Tory during the Revolutionary War, but later went on to be a selectman in Harwinton before his death in 1828. The house was passed along to numerous owners before it was moved to New Canaan.
Plaskett said in documents about the house that he learned about its existance in 2006 when then owner Randall Chilton contacted him about it.
The plan is to lease the rebuilt house to the Harwinton Historical Society to serve as a local history museum.
"This is a big step in completing this project and that without money like this the project may not have been able to move forward," Criss said.
Through the town's bidding process, an architectural engineering firm, Amaya Architects of Orange, has already been selected by the building committee.
Criss said he will continue to look for historical grants, but will not use infrastructure funds for the project.
"The Harwinton House Building Committee, I, and the Historical Society have been working very well together to move this project forward," Criss said. "The Harwinton House project is something I inherited when I got into office as the project was approved and voted on by the people of Harwinton It's what the people want. I vowed to complete the project as funds become available."
Donations can be made to Harwinton House Restoration at P.O. Box 66, Harwinton, CT, 06791

BROSSARD, Que. - The Montreal Canadiens will give struggling goaltender Carey Price a rest when they face the first-place team in the NHL's Eastern Conference.
Veteran backup Peter Budaj will get the start when the Canadiens try to stop a two-game losing run against the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
Coach Michel Therrien explained the move Tuesday by saying he has "two good goalies" and likes to use them both.
Budaj, who signed a two-year contract extension last week, is on a career-high seven-game winning streak.
Therrien admitted that Price is going through a rough patch at the moment, but so is the entire team. He said he has not lost confidence in his No. 1 goalie.
"Every player and every team has to overcome adversity at some point in a season," Therrien said. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's how you react to it that's important."
Price, who was not available to the media, was pulled from consecutive games for the first time in his career when he got the hook in a 5-1 loss Saturday in Toronto and in a 7-3 defeat on home ice to Philadelphia on Monday night.
He let in nine goals on 33 shots over the two games, including three on four shots against the Leafs and six on 29 against the Flyers.
Therrien had a meeting with the team before a one-hour workout at the team's practice facility. The Northeast Division-leading Canadiens (26-11-5) have not lost three straight games in regulation time this season.
But Therrien feels the team has let down its guard after clinching a playoff spot last week in Buffalo.
"At the start of the season we wanted to surprise people because not many people believed in us," he said. "We did that, and one reason was because we played with desperation.
"Since we clinched a playoff spot, we lost that sense of urgency. We've got to get it back. But I'm not worried because I know that when this team plays with desperation we are very competitive."
The Canadiens may also have some lineup changes.
Defenceman Yannick Weber skated in a pairing with Davis Drewiske, taking over from rookie Nathan Beaulieu. Weber has not played since he injured a knee March 7 in Carolina, but has been ready to return since March 27.
Another Swiss defenceman, Raphael Diaz, practised with the team for a second day in a row but in a no-contact jersey. He is on the mend from a concussion.
Physical winger Brandon Prust is expected to be back after sitting out one game to rest up minor injuries.
He was replaced against the Flyers by Ryan White, who had a meeting with the NHL disciplinary committee on Wednesday to explain his hit to the head that knocked out Philadelphia defenceman Kent Huskins.
Winger Michael Ryder didn't skate, but is expected to play.
The Canadiens lost their first two meetings this season with Pittsburgh, by 7-6 in overtime in Montreal on March 13 and 1-0 in Pittsbugh on March 26.
Price was in the net for both games.

Adele enjoyed another night in the spotlight at the British Music Awards Tuesday, but it wasn't her double win or powerful performance that proved to be the most memorable.
It was her middle finger, flipped at the show's host, on stage for all to see, that shone above all else.
"I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it was the suits that offended me," Adele said, explaining that her gesture was intended for host James Corden, who cut off her acceptance speech. "Thank you all very much and thanks to my fans. I don't want them to think I was swearing at them."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The 23-year-old, who swept the Grammys with six wins last week, added album of the year and best British female solo artist to her accolades at the UK awards show.
"It's been an amazing year," Adele said as she accepted her first award of the night from petite pop star Kylie Minogue.
It was her second acceptance speech that ultimately forced the songstress to later explain herself.
"Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year," she began. "I'm so proud to be British and to be flying the flag," she continued when Corden appeared on stage, and apologetically asked if he could cut her off.
"Are you about to cut me off?" she asked. "Can I just say then, goodbye and I'll see you next time 'round."
That's when the finger flew, the crowd applauded, and Corden introduced Blur, the next act up.
The show's broadcaster, ITV, later issued an apology—to Adele.
"We regret this happened and we send deepest apologies to Adele that her big moment was cut short tonight due to the live show over-running," an ITV statement said.
Corden later told ITV2 that he was upset he had to move her off stage.
"She's the biggest star in the world. I don't understand what happened but I'm upset about it," he said, according to NME. "Blur played for 11 minutes and she didn't get chance to say thank you once."
The songstress sang live for the second time since undergoing throat surgery last year. Her "Rolling in the Deep" performance won a standing ovation.
Other winners included Ed Sheeran who picked up best British solo male artist and best British breakthrough act. Bruno Mars won international male solo artist and Rihanna was picked best international female artist. Coldplay picked up its fourth award for best British group and the Foo Fighters were voted best international group.

Editor's note: Will Potter is a journalist and TED Fellow based in Washington. He is the author of "Green Is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege." The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- If "The Jungle" were published today, muckraking journalist Upton Sinclair would probably release photos from his undercover investigation of Chicago meatpacking plants on Flickr and upload video to YouTube. His work would be shared thousands of times on Facebook by outraged consumers. And all of this could land him in court, and even prison, under new laws being passed across the country today.
"Ag-gag" legislation -- so-called because it gags animal abuse whistle-blowers -- makes it illegal to photograph or videotape animal cruelty on factory farms and slaughterhouses. In the last few years, these laws have passed in Iowa, Utah, Missouri, and Idaho, and more may be on the way.
The legislation is the agriculture industry's response to undercover video investigations that exposed horrific animal cruelty. In Idaho, for instance, a group called Mercy for Animals filmed workers at Bettencourt Dairies punching and kicking cows in the face. The investigation resulted in criminal convictions for animal cruelty. But the dairy industry's response was not to clean up its act -- it was to outlaw the footage. The Idaho Dairymen's Association drafted Idaho's new "ag-gag" law in response to the Bettencourt investigation; undercover video, the group says, results in "media persecution" and "potential financial ruin."
One ag-gag supporter, industry group Protect the Harvest, has a website devoted to fighting "extremists like the Humane Society." In Idaho, lawmakers called undercover investigators terrorists and vigilantes. The bill's sponsor, state Sen. Jim Patrick, said the whistle-blowers are like "marauding invaders."
In Utah, Sen. David Hinkins said ag-gag was needed to stop "the vegetarian people" who are "trying to kill the animal industry." The co-owner of Iowa's MowMar Farms -- where workers were recorded beating pigs with metal pipe -- called the video "the 9/11 event of animal care in our industry." Rhetoric like this is meant to make people afraid of nonviolent undercover investigators and to distract us from the real issue.
The truth is that it doesn't matter if you are a meat eater or one of "the vegetarian people," ag-gag laws affect all of us. These laws are an attempt to keep consumers in the dark about what they are buying, and they do that by turning whistle-blowers and journalists into criminals.
I am a plaintiff in two lawsuits, in Utah and Idaho, challenging ag-gag laws as unconstitutional. I joined these lawsuits, as a journalist, because ag-gag directly puts both my sources and me at risk.
Sixteen professional journalism organizations have written an amicus brief to the court about concerns. The Society of Professional Journalists, NPR, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and others noted that ag-gag "poses a substantial risk of criminalizing lawful -- and constitutionally protected -- news gathering activity."
Ag-gag laws put journalists in the cross hairs in three ways:
They criminalize news gathering. Journalists have long gone undercover to get the story, dating back to Nellie Bly getting herself committed to the Women's Lunatic Asylum in New York around 1887 so she could expose neglect and abuse for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Today, Utah's ag-gag law targets anyone who accesses a farm under "false pretenses," and also anyone who "applies for employment at an agricultural operation with the intent to record an image of, or sound from, the agricultural operation."
Idaho's law has similar restrictions against photography and also says it's a crime if someone "obtains records of an agricultural production facility."
Ag-gag laws create harsher penalties for critics. In his best-selling book "Eating Animals," Jonathan Safran Foer admits entering a farm illegally to see conditions there after his requests to visit were repeatedly denied. He says undercover investigations "are one of the only meaningful windows the public has into the imperfect day-to-day running of factory farms and industrial slaughterhouses." Trespassing is against the law, and journalists aren't exempt from that. Under ag-gag, though, trespassing with the intent to expose wrongdoing results in stiffer penalties.
Ag-gag turns sources into criminals. Factory farm investigations have been reported by the top media outlets in the country, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN, but the journalists didn't do the investigations themselves -- nonprofit groups did.
Undercover animal abuse videos could soon be outlawed
As ag-gag becomes law, more and more investigators say they are afraid to talk to journalists about their work. Some ag-gag bills even require investigators to turn over all footage to police and make it illegal to give it to the press. These stories need to be told, but by telling them journalists put both themselves and their sources at risk.
Jane Velez-Mitchell: Factory meat, cruel and bad for us
If the industry has its way, the only insight into the agriculture industry will come from the industry itself. This industry needs more windows and more sunlight exposing its abuses. It's time to overturn ag-gag laws so we can have an informed and vibrant national discussion about modern industrial agriculture, one that, were Upton Sinclair around today, would make him proud.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
The Transportation Security Administration's recent decision to begin allowing pocketknives and other sporting gear on planes once again has been met with great concern from the American public. Pocketknives were banned from aircrafts following the September 11 attacks where they were used.
Tonight, Piers Morgan talks to Republican Senator John McCain about the TSA's decision and the public's reception.
"They're obviously not making the case to the American people in a way that Americans find satisfactory," he says.
Though McCain is not an expert on TSA stategy, the senator posits improvements that could be made to the entire operation:
"My beef with TSA, my friend, is that our security procedures have basically not changed in the last twelve years. They're still having to do invasive body searches, we still wait in long, long lines. Couldn't we have a fast lane? Couldn't we develop a technology where we could just walk people through?"
He suggests that the only way to make progress is for the TSA to explain their decision in front of a committee who asks the right questions.
Watch Morgan's full interview with McCain to hear more about the TSA's decision, as well as a discussion about Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law who was recently caught and brought to the U.S.

Hugo Chavez was popular in Venezuela and other central american countries. He was honest and did not tolerate corruption. Fortunately he used the oil profit to help his people instead of sharing it with the rich. Was this man evil for loving his people?
"did not tolerate corruption"...??
If you believe in democracy, a dictatorship is a corruption of power.
What does McCain know about security? That senile old trouble should just retire
Hi, good job! We used to learn that Sen. John McCain urgently asked President Obama for some check on the US border. But President Obama prefers speech to walking.
SOS-Corruption Scoop: When FBI lying to public and cover-up FACTS in a murder case = Corruption of Foreign Public Of-
ficials "voir-dire" World's Largest Security Breach. Senator John McCain have something to hide, if not please ORDER
SPECIAL Criminal Background Check AGAINTS Defendant's JANET NAPOLITANO Scandals and IMPOSTOR at DHS.GOV,

Good to see you, Senator John McCain! There're lots of countries which they didn't even have invasive body searches machines as advance as which American people could have, but I think that Sen. John McCain was not just blaming on the long lines.
Flight attendants do not like the ruling, neither do air marshalls. SO....................what happened to Piers' Facebook page? Couldn't stand the hate messages from gun advocates? That's what happens when you are an arrogant imbecile from a foreign country who has NO business preaching his anti American garbage.
If passengers are gonna be allowed to carry pocketknives, by all means we should ALL carry one. If terrorists or some nuts terrorize us on board, we can all gang up on them and stab them into submission.
Gun Shows and the Black Market are much alike
Annually gun shows sells 40% of firearms sold in the United Sates. On March 11, 2013 Piers Morgan from CNN had a guest who was an American journalist working as a foreign correspondent for the BBC world news network. She was a very sharp female journalist from Texas who went to a gun show and easily obtained an AR-15 assault rifle without being challenged on neither identification nor background check by a commercial gun dealer at the Gun Show. A private Gun Dealer is not required by law to ask for identification nor a background check to sell a firearm, but, a commercial Gun Dealer is required by law to do so. Both of these gun dealers are found on all gun shows. In her case, she approached the commercial gun dealer and showed interest in purchasing an AR-15 assault rifle where a price was quoted and agreed on. The dealer did not request for her driver's license so she pulled it out anyway and handed to him, and he just brushed it aside without interest, and also the dealer did not run a background check neither, and on top of that, the dealer refused to give her a receipt for the purchase, but, after a continuous request for a receipt, she did get one. It appears that Gun Shows are no different than an illegal Black Market for guns, so gun shows are gun runners and they should be illegal to operate anywhere in the states. Where are the federal agents who can close these illegal loopholes that are hurting our nation? After her report, she did return to the commercial dealer with her receipt and sold her AR-15 back to the dealer. The reporter did not say what the price difference was between the purchase price and return. Pierce Morgan seems to be on my "A" list at the present.
Poor Peirs; "I don't understand..." about why people want to carry a knife. I average using my knife about 2 to 10 times a day. Of course you don't understand, do you do anything for yourself? Do you understand why we have shoestrings? By the way a trained person will kill you quicker with a ball point pen than Peirs could cut a biscuit with a sharp knife.
Also, I for one will stand up and defend an aircrew. You act like the 4 inch knife makes alll the difference. Would you just sit in your seat while someone stabs you?? Do you TRY and understand opposing views??
CNN please get him off the air.

Despite relocation speculation, Sound Tigers remain committed to Bridgeport
Recommended Video:
The chosen new operators of Nassau Coliseum, the New York Islanders' home at least for the moment, are the operators of the Islanders' future home, the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Forest City Ratner was announced Thursday as the winning bidder to renovate and operate Nassau Coliseum, and their proposal for the old barn in Uniondale, N.Y., included a minor-league hockey tenant.
With operations of three arenas and two hockey teams now tightly intertwined, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers landed at the center of online speculation.
"We have a long-term contractual arrangement here. We're here another eight years," said Bridgeport Sound Tigers president Howard Saffan, whose Harbor Yard Sports and Entertainment also operates Bridgeport's Webster Bank Arena.
Saffan echoed what he has said every other time relocation rumors spring up.
"It's wonderful that A plus B equals C, but there's reality," Saffan said.
Nobody's going anywhere right away; Bridgeport's 13th home opener is Oct. 5, and the Islanders remain in Nassau County for at least one more season.
But if this isn't the Islanders' last year in Uniondale, the following season will be. The team and the Barclays Center already share personnel on the business side. The Islanders own the Sound Tigers and operate Webster Bank Arena. Shuffle the parts, goes the logic.
Harbor Yard Sports and Entertainment's 2011 agreement with the city to operate Webster Bank Arena, though, requires a professional hockey tenant in the building.
The Nassau deal still needs government approval. Chris Botta, a former Islanders executive now with the Sports Business Journal, noted on Twitter that runner-up Madison Square Garden announced in a statement that it plans to watch that process: "So MSG will put up a fight," Botta wrote.
Speculation about who'd succeed the Islanders in Bridgeport is almost as old as the Sound Tigers franchise. The New York Rangers' affiliate, the usual suspect, is beginning a new three-year lease at Hartford's XL Center, with the team reverting to its original Wolf Pack nickname.
Not that leases ever slow gossip in the AHL.
"It's wonderful that Barclays is the developer," Saffan said. "We wholeheartedly support that. We'll see what tomorrow brings."

Dec 07, 2012– Tokyo, Japan (Techreleased) – Toshiba Corporation today announced that Toshiba and Toshiba T&D Europe S.p.A. (TTDE), a subsidiary located in Genoa, Italy have won an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for a High Voltage and Direct Current (HVDC) power conversion system for an undersea power transmission line between Cepagatti, Italy, and Kotor, Montenegro. The project will deliver a maximum 1,000MW of power to Cepagatti and will contribute to the integration of the Southeastern Europe and EU power grids. Toshiba will initiate construction of the project in September 2013 and start delivery of equipment in April 2015. Conversion stations along the route are expected to start operation in September 2017.
Toshiba won the contract in cooperation with TTDE, the former Ansaldo Transmissione & Distribuzione S.p.A., an Italian transmission and distribution (T&D) engineering firm that Toshiba acquired in March 2011 and renamed in March this year. TTDE is charged with promoting Toshiba's pan-European T&D business. Both companies have strong capabilities in HVDC: Toshiba installed the world's first frequency conversion system in 1983 and has pioneered development of HVDC technologies and systems; TTDE constructed SACOI, the world's first HVDC multi-terminal interconnection system, linking Sardinia, Corsica and mainland Italy.
Parts of Europe suffer energy shortages, and long distance transmission systems allow them to import electricity from neighboring countries. The Cepagatti-Kotor HVDC system will extend over 400km, allowing imports from Montenegro. The HVDC contact was awarded to the Toshiba consortium after comprehensive evaluation of Toshiba's high performance technology and TTDE's extensive engineering experience. It will allow Toshiba Group to enter the European HVDC market ahead of other Japanese EPC contractors.
Demand for HVDC is expected to increase in Europe, Africa and South East Asia, most notably in Indonesia, in India and Brazil, all regions Toshiba is focusing on its HVDC system business. The company is also promoting its T&D business in the emerging economies of the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Brazil, India and Russia, all of which are expected to see demand growth. Going forward, Toshiba will expand its business globally by offering reliable, high performance equipment.

The finished product is a bit smaller than the given dimensions, 10" along the bottom and 7" for each side seam instead of the advertised 12x9". Nevertheless, the print quality is bright and sharp, and the pouches are constructed with a liner, a heavy-duty zipper, and no loose threads.

SUNY Canton Graduate Receives Officer CommissionMonday, December 23rd, 2013
A SUNY Canton graduate was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army during a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) ceremony in Potsdam Dec. 18.
Second Lt. Thomas C. Hamberger, from San Antonio, recently graduated with his bachelor's degree in Criminal Investigation. He will attend the military intelligence officer basic course at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.
"SUNY Canton professors have a wealth of knowledge and have prepared me well for my career," Hamberger said.
Hamberger's brother and mother, who attended the ceremony, are SUNY Canton alumni. Capt. Christopher W. Hamberger earned an associate degree in Criminal Justice in 2007 and a bachelor's degree in Criminal Investigation in 2009. Ruth E. Hamberger received an associate degree in Nursing in 2005.
Second Lt. Hamberger was among five cadets who were commissioned from the Golden Knight Battalion, which trains future Army leadership from the four universities of the Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley.
"Our military, veteran and ROTC students are a vital part of the SUNY Canton community," said SUNY Canton Acting President Joseph C. Hoffman. "Their work ethic and drive to succeed make them leaders in the classroom and beyond. Thomas Hamberger is no exception; we are extremely proud of all he has accomplished."
Earlier this year, SUNY Canton was recognized as a military-friendly College by G.I. Jobs magazine and was included in Military Advanced Education's 2014 Guide to Military Friendly Colleges and Universities. These exclusive lists honor the top colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success.
