By ROBBIE NEISWANGER
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard BJ Young went to LSU expecting a bounce back performance after going 0-for-8 from the field in last Saturday's loss at Florida.
The sophomore didn't go without a field goal once again Wednesday night.
But he didn't exactly snap out of his slump during Arkansas' 65-60 loss.
Young was held well below his season average of 15.3 points, scoring four points on 2 of 11 shooting in the Maravich Assembly Center. The guard started Wednesday's game on the bench for a change of pace, but he failed to reach double figures for the third straight game and eighth time this season.
Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said Wednesday it's clear Young's confidence has been jolted as the Razorbacks (17-11, 8-7 in Southeastern Conference) prepare for Saturday's game against Kentucky (20-8, 11-4 in SEC) in Bud Walton Arena. He has scored 7 points on 2 of 19 shooting the past two games.
"BJ puts a lot more pressure on himself than he needs to," Anderson said. "That's part of it. And as a coach, you try to take away those pressures and just let him go out and be a kid. He's 19 years old. Go out and play basketball and have fun. That's been my mindset with him from day one through last year, through this year. It will be the same. Hopefully he gets back to being BJ, the happy go-lucky kid."
Young explored the NBA Draft after averaging 15.3 points a game as a freshman, but opted to return to Arkansas. His sophomore season hasn't been a smooth ride.
There have been big moments. Young scored 25 in a home win against Tennessee and Arkansas' only road win at Auburn. He also turned in game-winning plays down the stretch against Missouri and Georgia, leading the Razorbacks to two-point wins.
But Young also has been plagued all year by poor shooting.
Young is making 44.4 percent from the field (157 of 354) and 21.9 percent (21 of 96 from behind the 3-point line. It comes a year after he made 50.4 percent (177 of 351) of his shots and 41.3 percent (50 of 121) from 3-point range as a freshman.
Arkansas players weren't available for comment Thursday, but Young said earlier this week the shooting struggles are "frustrating." Especially when the Hogs lose.
"If we would have won, I would have been just fine," Young said Monday. "But we lost, so yeah, it's frustrating. But it's not something I'm going to dwell on, because I really can't change it. I've just got to move on to the next game."
Anderson said Young was hesitant pulling the trigger at LSU, going 0-for-4 from behind the 3-point line. He is 0-for-10 from long range the past three games with defenses geared to give him those open looks because of his shooting struggles.
"He's got to be able to knock shots down," Anderson said. "That, to me, is different than last year. Last year he shot over 40 percent from 3-point land and this year has hasn't shot near as good as he is capable of shooting."
Young also has had some decision-making issues to compound the shooting woes, pressing too much with the ball. He has opted to take on opponents with defenders swarming him and it has resulted in turnovers and other mistakes.
Young committed a season-high tying six turnovers at LSU and has nine in the past two games. He has just three assists during the same stretch.
"People are targeting him," Anderson said about the difference this season. "That's a big part of it too. As they target you, that's where you have to trust in your teammates and those other teammates have got to make plays as well."
Young's play will continue to be an important factor in Arkansas' success the final three regular season game and in the NCAA Tournament. He leads the Hogs in points (15.3), minutes (28.5), free throws made (77) and assists (3.7) a game.
The production is enough to make Young take another long look at the NBA Draft after the season. But Anderson hopes the guard can snap out of his shooting slump and help the Razorbacks win games — beginning Saturday against Kentucky — first.
"He's hearing a lot of different stuff from different people," Anderson said about Young's future. "You've got to try to keep him grounded and stay in the now. I think you've got to stay in the now. Right now. You can't worry about the future because it may not even come. Just try to be the best player you can be."
Why No Bell?
Arkansas guard Anthlon Bell scored 31 points in consecutive games against Georgia and Florida, showing off his long-range shooting abilities. But the freshman — who Anderson proclaimed was ready to play now after early-season struggles — mysteriously sat on the bench throughout most of the LSU loss.
Bell was scoreless, getting off just one shot, in three minutes Wednesday night.
Anderson placed the blame on himself for failing to turn to Bell more.
"I probably screwed that up more than anything else," Anderson said. "He's been playing with a lot of confidence. We had some guys that were knocking some shots down early for us, Kikko (Haydar) was knocking some shots down early for us. Anthlon got out there, and I think it was a period where, boy, they just bombarded us. A lead that went from maybe nine points up to almost 18, 20 points."
Anderson said that will change when the Razorbacks play Kentucky on Saturday.
"You'll see him," Anderson said. "You'll see him in the lineup. You'll see him playing."
Sellout Crowd
Arkansas will play in front of a sellout crowd in Bud Walton Arena for the second time this season. The 73-71 win against Missouri also was sold out.
Anderson expects a great atmosphere even though Arkansas has lost two straight.
"We've been pretty good at home," said Anderson, whose team is 15-1 in Bud Walton Arena. "Fans have been great at home. Our kids have played well at home and we'll see how we respond. I think our guys are excited about playing."

Hey, buddy: The NSA just friended you
The latest revelation from the Edward Snowden leaks is eye-popping. The National Security Agency collects 250 million email address books a year plus half a million chat and email buddy lists a day, The Washington Post reported this week. Those contact lists can include phone numbers, addresses, personal information and at least partial texts of messages. And the NSA has swept up many, perhaps tens of millions, Americans in this data collection operation.
Defenders of such collections say we are supposed to trust that the government will use the information properly at all times. That is what we were told about the phone and email records, even as it was revealed that at least a dozen NSA employees used their positions to spy on lovers, exes, etc. We were supposed to trust the IRS not to play politics with taxpayer information, too.
The First Amendment guarantees Americans the freedom of association. But how strong is that guarantee when the government can access your communications records (despite the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches) to build and maintain a database that details all of your associations?

Take Five: Top 5 games of the OSU season
- Written by Rick Reed
1. UofM (November 24th, Noon)
ALWAYS the biggest game of OSU's season, this season takes on even bigger meaning as UofM snapped the Buckeyes 7 game winning streak in 2011. OSU wants to prove that game to be a fluke and retake control of college football's greatest rivalry. The upper hand in recruiting battles and a chance for the Buckeyes to ruin the Wolverines season hangs in the balance.
2. @ Wisconsin (November 17th, TBA)
It's hard for Buckeye fans to loathe an opposing coach more than Brady Hoke at UofM, but Wisconsin's Bret Beilema about makes it possible. Wisconsin, coming off back to back Rose Bowl seasons, figures to again be a preseason Big 10 favorite. Camp Randall stadium can be one of the loudest venues in America, not to mention the projectiles thrown from Badger faithful. This is the Buckeyes toughest road test of the season.
3. @ Michigan State (September 29th, TBA)
Former Buckeye defensive coordinator Mark Dantonio has built a top 25 program in East Lansing. The Spartans enter 2012 riding a 4 game winning streak vs. their in-state rival UofM, and defeated the Buckeyes in 2011 for the first time since 1999. MSU boasts a whopping 29 Ohio players on their roster.
4. California (September 15th, Noon)
In many seasons, this game may be considered a pedestrian out of conference tune up. In 2012 it should serve at Urban Meyer's first test as the head coach at Ohio State. The Golden Bears are coming off a 7-6 season in the Pac 12, but will field a roster with more talent than Miami or Central Florida (Ohio State's week 1 and 2 opponents). The rest of the NCAA will be watching to see the new look Buckeyes.
5. Nebraska (October 6th, 8 pm)
Ohio State players are sure to remember the blown 21 point lead vs. the Cornhuskers a year ago. A result that would have never happened had an injured Braxton Miller not left the game to the trembling hands of Joe Bauserman. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez is the key to the Cornhusker season. As bad as he was in the first half of the 2011 game, he was that good in the comeback second half.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Homeless men and women huddle on street corners amid Budapest's majestic domed palaces, shivering under old blankets and cardboard boxes in frigid winter weather.
It's an image that critics say Prime Minister Viktor Orban doesn't want the world to see. And if he has his way, the homeless could be fined and even jailed for sleeping outside — even though some of the country's homeless shelters are already overflowing and short of beds.
Orban's punitive ideas for the homeless have set him up for his latest clash with the constitutional court and civil rights groups as he tries to reshape the country in a conservative image by centralizing power. Since winning power in 2010, Orban and his party have undermined independent institutions and democratic standards in a nation that was once an icon of democratic struggle for throwing off communism in 1989.
Now Orban is carrying out an informal referendum at town hall meetings around the country to gauge support for a constitutional amendment that would enshrine punishments for the homeless in the charter itself.
Hungary's homeless policy has revived accusations by human rights groups that Orban's ruling Fidesz party cares little about the country's disadvantaged. In just one recent controversy, one of the party's founding members, journalist Zsolt Bayer wrote in a newspaper column that many of the country's Gypsies, or Roma — an impoverished minority that faces entrenched discrimination — "are animals" and "unfit for coexistence."
Fidesz refused to distance itself from the column, saying it understood citizens' anger about crimes committed by Roma and called on those demanding Bayer's expulsion from the party "to refrain from standing on the side of the criminals."
The homeless issue has been brewing for several years. At the end of 2011, Orban's ruling right-wing Fidesz party used its overwhelming parliamentary majority to make the punitive regulations first introduced earlier that year by the Fidesz-backed mayor of Budapest — including fines of up to $650 for repeat offenders and the threat of up to 60 days in jail — applicable nationwide.
"This is a method to demoralize or intimidate us," said Gyula Balog, 53, who has been homeless for nearly 20 years. "No one was jailed but quite a few had to pay fines. It's frivolous to fine those who have nothing."
At the time, even the United Nations expressed concerns, saying the obligation to provide shelter "cannot serve as an excuse for the criminalization or forced detention of homeless persons."
"By a wave of the legislative pen, the Hungarian Parliament has labeled tens of thousands of homeless people in Hungary as potential criminals," said a statement from two U.N. human rights experts. "Moreover, the law has a discriminatory impact on those living in poverty."
At least 1,500 homeless are believed to be currently living rough in Budapest, even as temperatures are expected to remain below freezing in coming days and dozens of homeless are found frozen to death each year on the streets.
In the winter, many head to the warmest spots they can find, usually the entrance halls of subway stations, sometimes quietly holding out a paper cup for money from passersby or by selling street newspapers.
Authorities recently inaugurated two more shelters in the capital and the government spent 8.5 billion forints ($38.4 million, €28.9 billion) on the homeless in 2012, with a similar figure planned this year. But some of the most popular refuges, like the "Heated Street" run by the Hungarian Evangelical Brotherhood, are full far beyond capacity, with many people sleeping on mats on the floor.
The issue of the fines re-emerged in November when the constitutional court struck down the punishments, saying homelessness was a social issue that should not be handled as a criminal matter.
There are no exact figures on the number of homeless in Hungary, but the U.N. last year put the figure at between 30,000 and 35,000. A survey carried out each year on Feb. 3 in Budapest and the larger Hungarian cities by NGOs, counted 8,641 in 2012, up from 7,199 in 2011.
Many cities across the United States also ban activities such as "urban camping," panhandling, "lodging" outdoors and similar actions, often resulting in fines or jail time for offenders.
The Hungarian government argues that it is simply acting out of concern for the dozens of homeless people who freeze to death every year, implying that fines are meant to push the displaced to seek refuge in warm shelters.
"There are more places in heated shelters than there are homeless living in Hungary," Orban said last month in Parliament. "So no one ... is forced to survive winter under the open sky."
But social workers and the homeless themselves accuse the government of caring only about the country's image.
"They simply want to clean up the areas frequented by tourists," said Balog, speaking outside the department store where he sold Commodore 64 computers during communism, before losing his job and family because of his alcoholism.

The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute assisted in a section of this article, drawn from Jason Berry's Render Unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church, to be published June 7 by Crown.
On May 1, Pope Benedict XVI will beatify his predecessor, John Paul II, at a huge ceremony in St. Peter's Square in Rome. Beatification, the final step before canonization, or sainthood, ennobles the deceased as "blessed," or worthy of veneration. Authorities have prepared for a million visitors to the weekend events.
Most beatification cases are decided decades after the person dies—a sign of Vatican probity on whether a life achievement, nominated by religious colleagues, merits a path to sainthood. The timetable is at the pope's discretion. In this case, Benedict's decision to fast-track John Paul's case has drawn a chorus of criticism from prominent Catholics and survivors of sexual abuse by clergy.
Should a pope who turned his back on the worst crisis in modern Catholic history be exalted as a saint? Lawsuits by victims, numerous prosecutions and news coverage of bishops who enabled abuse are the shadow story of John Paul's twenty-six-year pontificate, during which time he responded to continuing allegations of clergy abuse with denial and inertia. American dioceses and religious orders alone have spent nearly $2 billion on legal actions and treatment of sex offenders, an aching scandal at incalculable cost to the church's stature.
John Paul II has been widely hailed as a commanding figure on the global stage, a catalyst in the fall of Soviet Communism and a champion of human rights. His stirring homilies on freedom in his first papal trip back to Poland in 1979 galvanized the Solidarity union movement. On his 1987 trip to Chile, during the Pinochet dictatorship, John Paul said Mass for a vast throng and "presented speaker after speaker who complained of censorship, torture, and political murder," wrote Jonathan Kwitny in his 1997 biography Man of the Century. John Paul's trip was a turning point in Chile's transition to democracy. On the other hand, the pope looked askance at liberation theology, believing the Latin American grassroots movement to be an extension of the Marxism that had subjugated Poland. And he was conflicted on the role of progressive Latin American clergy who were allied with the poor and resisted persecution by death squads.
Moreover, on the greatest internal crisis facing the church, the pope failed, time and again, to take decisive action in response to clear evidence of a criminal underground in the priesthood, a subculture that sexually traumatized tens of thousands of youngsters. Despite a 1984 warning memo from the Rev. Thomas Doyle, then a canon lawyer in the Vatican Embassy in Washington, and a ninety-three-page report on the problem co-written by Doyle in 1985, which was sent to every American bishop, John Paul ordered no outreach to victims, no binding policy to rid the priesthood of deviants. In 1989 the US conference of bishops sent experts in canon law to Rome, seeking a streamlined process for defrocking child molesters rather than waiting for the byzantine Vatican bureaucracy and final word from the pope. John Paul refused. Litigation and prosecutions spread, but the pope remained passive.

Now those are some pants.
Jennifer Aniston arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday (and later surfaced in Paris) sporting a menswear-inspired ensemble of a blazer, white tee and sneakers, finishing the look with what can only be described as drop-crotch cuffed boyfriend jeans (Vivienne Westwood's "Anglomania + Lee" men's trousers, $210, to be exact), held up with a belt.
The jeans — much baggier than the denim pants Aniston's beau Justin Theroux was sporting — called to mind Jennifer Lopez's loose, sparkly pants worn on the season finale of American Idol last month. Could this silhouette — gasp — be a new trend? Tell us: Would you wear jeans like these? Vote in our poll!

A lot of people dear to me are going through some difficult waters right now. Some are in physical pain, some in emotional pain and some in financial pain. Sometimes even the most sold out followers of Jesus want to raise their face to the heavens and scream.
"WHY God? WHAT are you doing? HOW can you let this continue?"
A song by Josh Wilsonresonated on the daily walk and is the basis for today's iPod Devotional. The song is called "I Fall Apart".
Why in the world did I think I could
Only get to know you when my life was good?
When everything just falls in place
The easiest thing is to give you praise
Now it all seems upside down
I wish that wasn't true. I wish I was mature enough to recognize God's blessings every day and praise Him without ceasing in my normal life of comfort or when things go off course. The truth is that I have a righteous new nature housed in a decidedly unrighteous body of flesh. The conflict is constant and real. Paul talked a lot about the conflict in his letter to the Church in Rome. His words are just as relevant today.
I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God's law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin. (Romans 7, NLT)
Pretty depressing. That has been much of my Christian journey. I want to know Him better but on my terms. I want to trust God fully but I also want Him to answer my prayers and keep the blessings flowing freely. I want to make a difference for God but I inevitably default to safety. I feel guilty and sad. Frustrated. Unworthy. And then I read the next words from Paul.
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. (Romans 8, NLT)
No condemnation. I have the power within me to overcome sin. Not perfectly to be sure. But I no longer have to sin. The work of Christ is complete. I am forgiven. Changed. I have a new identity. I bring nothing to the dance other than my trust and submission. That is a hard thing for an American achiever. I want to do something. I want to prove myself worthy of Christ. I cannot. I bring nothing. Only when I recognize my need to trust Him fully can I begin to know Him better. That clarity does not come out of prosperity, health, green lights and blue skies. That clarity comes most often out of darkness, deep valleys and scars.
Blessed are the ones who understand
They've got nothing to bring but empty hands
Nothing to hide and nothing to prove
Our heartbreak brings us back to you
Henri Nouwen wrote beautifully about the purpose and value of suffering. "We fail to see the place of suffering in the broader scheme of things. We fail to see that suffering is an inevitable dimension of life. Because we have lost perspective, we fail to see that unless one is willing to accept suffering properly, he or she is really refusing to continue in the quest for maturity. To refuse suffering is to refuse personal growth. Jesus says, "Cry over your pains, and you will discover that I'm right there in your tears, and you will be grateful for my presence in your weakness." Ministry means to help people become grateful for life even with pain. That gratitude can send into the world precisely to the places where people are in pain. The minister, the disciple of Jesus, goes where there is pain not because he is a masochist or she is a sadist, but because God is hidden in the pain. Henri Nouwen – The Nouwen Center
Wow. Think of your seasons of growth. I would venture that most of them came out of adversity, pain and struggle.
Maybe this is how it starts
I find you when I fall apart
I don't know how long this will last
I'm praying for the pain to pass
But maybe this is the best thing that has ever happened to me
'Cause my whole world is caving in
But I feel you now more than I did then
How can I come to the end of me
But somehow still have all I need?
God I want to know you more
Maybe this is how it starts
Maybe this is how it starts. Today I pray for the comfort for my suffering friends and family. I pray for healing. But I also pray that they (and I) will find God hidden in that pain. That all of us will trust a God who is trustworthy even as we agonize. I pray that we will find that His grace is sufficient. And I pray that all of us embrace the truth that brokenness and pain is how a loving Father must sometimes get our attention.
I find you when--
You will find me when--
I fall apart
This journey is not and never will be easy. But there is one promise from Jesus that I hold onto.
"Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

Hi guys,
This is not a cop-out to me doing my own research but I am just wondering what your thoughts might be. My Epson Photo 825 recently died on me.
I am aware of all of the problems Epsons have with clogged heads. I know HP builds their heads into the cartridges (which is nice) but I just cannot justify going with HP when their ink costs $40-60 to replace the cartridges. I am planning on doing a lot of printing...
I am starting a business where I will be printing quite a few full color pages (brochures, CD labels, etc), probably 15-20 full-color, full-page prints a week. This is why I am leaning toward Epson or maybe Canon.
In the past I have bought all my ink from printpal.com. It is generic ink but I have never had a single problem with it and it's very inexpensive for Epson and Canon ink. There is very little savings with HP ink.
I have never used a canon but have heard a lot about the pixma printers. I don't know anything about their ink usage though.
I would be interested in a printer that has individual inks for each color (CMY and Black) but some of the HPs have 6 cartridges... thats overkill, it seems, to have to keep all of those stocked on your shelf. 3 individual color cartridges would not be bad because I will be printing a lot and may use one color more often than another, in which case it would be more cost-effective (I think) to replace just that one single color instead of the entire cartridge... but then again, a single individual color cartridge usually costs close to the price of a multi-color cartridge.
Here are my requirements:
Possible Printer/Scanner all-in-one.
DPI - 5700x720 My previous printer had this, I don't think I need anything more than that.
Size, speed, noise levels are not as important as price.
Under $100. I know this is low... can I get what I am looking for, for this price? I would be willing to buy refurbished from Epson or even new on ebay.
My biggest concern is the ink-usage. Everything I have read has led me to believe that Epson uses ink more sparingly than HP. Is this true? Because I will be printing so much with it I would rather a printer that has very inexpensive cartridges than an inexpensive printer.
Thank you for any ideas you can give.

31 Dec 2011
The beauty of baseball is that you just never know what will happen. Entering the 2011 season, almost everyone predicted that the Red Sox and Phillies would meet in the World Series and that the Cardinals were not going to do much after losing their ace to injury. Yet, the Cardinals walked away with the hardware in 2011, giving the National League its first consecutive titles since 1982.
Some fans view the 2011 Yankees as failures, but I don't. Perhaps it was the fact that I came of age in the fallow period of Yankee history, but anytime the Yankees win the division, I view it as a successful season. Brian Cashman gambled on a suspect pitching staff and he drew an inside straight. I never thought we would see another Aaron Small-type season, but Bartolo Colon's 2011 came close. And while Colon faded down the stretch and the starting pitching wasn't much behind Sabathia and Nova, it's worth remembering that in the end the offense cost the Yankees a chance to move on.
And what will 2012 bring to Yankees' fans? It's foolish to try and predict things when the roster is still in flux, but one thing I can almost guarantee is to expect lots of surprises. Cashman has stood by this offseason and watched the top free agents (except for Fielder) come off the board and the top pitchers in the trade market go elsewhere. It seems that it is all part of his plan to make the Yankees younger and less expensive, but I wouldn't mistake his inactivity for complacency. If I had to guess, here are five moves we might see occur in 2012.
1- Yankees trade a bunch of prospects for a premium starter. This is hardly going out on a limb, but it remains the most obvious need.
2- Russel Martin get signed to a three-year deal. Again, not a shocker, except for the length of the deal. But, the Yankees have become a very statistically-oriented team and Martin's defense is superb. Throw in a better than average bat for a catcher and I think they keep him around while they try and develop Montero into a catcher.
3- The closer torch is passed to David Robertson. You read the reported quotes about Mariano wanting to play until he is 50, but I don't buy it. I think Mo is far too smart to hang around and let age rob him of his abilities and he is also a man who has lots of interests outside of baseball. I think 2012 will be it for him.
4- The Yankees make a trade for a young outfielder. I love Nick Swisher, but let's face it, he isn't going to be a Yankee in 2013. The Swisher trade could go down as Brian Cashman's greatest coup. He got one of the best rightfielders in the game for Wilson Betemit, Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez. But, he is 31 and has Scott Boras as an agent. He will be seeking a big deal in the offseason and the Yankees won't give it to him. The Yankees don't have an obvious in-house candidate to replace him in 2013, so I think they go outside the organization and find a replacement.
5- Derek Jeter hits 8th in 2012. I don't think it will happen right away, but at some point in 2012 it is inevitable in my mind that Jeter drops from the top of the lineup. I would bet that the Yankees start the year with Jeter only leading off against lefties, like they did in 2011, but start moving him down against righties by May.
Those are my five, how about yours?
Finally a big thanks to all the readers out there for a wonderful 2011. It's all of you that make this a fun endeavor. I hope you all have a Happy New Year and please come back in 2012!

Evolution safe in Michigan
At its October 10, 2006, meeting, the Michigan state board of education voted unanimously to approve a set of content expectations for the new high school graduation requirements in science in which evolution is appropriately treated. Previously, in September, the board voted to defer considering the content expectations for a month, at the behest of antievolution legislators who apparently sought to lobby for the weakening of evolution. But in the end, the Detroit Free Press (October 11, 2006) reported [Link broken], it was "clear which concept won the debate between evolution and intelligent design." A press release issued on October 10, 2006, by the Michigan Department of Education emphasized, "In approving the Science content expectations, the State Board also solidified its strong support for Evolution."
The treatment of evolution in the content expectations was in fact slightly improved, thanks to the testimony of concerned citizens, including the Michigan Science Teachers Association and Robert T. Pennock and Gregory Forbes of Michigan Citizens for Science. The Grand Rapids Press (October 11, 2006) reported [Link broken], "Kids in biology will now have to 'Explain how a new species or variety originates (rather than "may originate") through the natural process of evolution.' They also will be asked to show how fossil records, comparative anatomy and other evidence [support] the theory of evolution rather than 'may' support it." These revisions are especially striking, since antievolutionist legislators were reportedly [Link broken] pushing to have "may" replaced with "may or may not" (Detroit Free Press, September 14, 2006).
Members of the board of education were outspoken about their support for the integrity of evolution education. The board's vice president, John C. Austin, was quoted in the Michigan Department of Education's press release as explaining, "We do not want to create any uncertainty in the Board's support of Evolution ... We need to send a clear statement that there is no ambiguity on the part of the Board that Evolution is good science." Board member Reginald Turner agreed, "Science supports Evolution in the way it's set forth in the content expectations before us," adding, "The word 'may' clouds the science of Evolution after decades of scientific evidence, and is inconsistent with what we know about Evolution today."

DINWIDDIE, Va.—A bull-running event inspired by the traditional Spanish spectacle is making its U.S. debut.
The Great Bull Run held its first of several events Saturday at a drag-racing strip in Virginia.
Organizers said about 12,000 attended the event, including spectators, and that one minor injury occurred on the final run.
The event is inspired by the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Some have criticized the treatment of bulls in the runs. Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States says he's attending the Virginia event to ensure there's no mistreatment.
Organizers have said they're partnering with ranches who supply the bulls and veterinarians to monitor their health.
Later events are planned for Texas, Florida, California, Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

Leonard Nimoy, who was coaxed out of retirement for "Star Trek" and then lingered in order to portray the mysterious William Bell on "Fringe," says it may be the logical time to say farewell to acting for good — especially since the Bell role hasn't been a compelling one for him.
"I have such a great life," the 78-year-old actor said at his home last week. "I'm not looking for work."
Nimoy had invited me over to talk about his Halloween night photography exhibit at the Santa Monica Museum of Art (watch for a full story on that event and his photography career here tomorrow), which is just one of the many pursuits that Nimoy would rather focus on these days. "As an actor you're always wondering when you're going to work again, who you're going to work with, what it will be. I don't have that consuming drive," he said. Then he nodded toward an image that will be on display at the exhibit. "This is my creative outlet. This is what I do."
Nimoy was fresh from a trip to the Vancouver set of "Fringe," where he had shot an upcoming episode. He made it sound as if it might have been his final one in the role of Bell, a rarely seen character on the show but one that is, by all appearances, at the very core of the series' mythology.
"I've done three appearances for them. I don't know if I will do a fourth…"
"They've asked me to do more, but we have to talk about where the character is going. So far my character, William Bell, and my appearances have been used to lay in information about this alternate universe and the experience of being in this other world. And that's OK, but I don't know yet what plans they have for really developing a dramatic story for the character. I'm waiting for a conversation about that."
Nimoy said that conversation will be "some with J.J. Abrams" but more so with show runner Jeff Pinkner and series creators Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the same tandem that came up with the script for "Star Trek," which was good enough to coax Nimoy back into Starfleet service despite his initial resistance to the idea. Nimoy said Orci and Kurtzman are "just terrific, very talented and very smart" but it was quite clear that the actor's goodwill posture toward "Fringe" was earned entirely by the "Trek" experience and that it has its limitations.
"I think they're talking amongst themselves now so they can present some kind of plan, a story arc of some kind."
The sci-fi icon surprised me when he said he signed up for the "Fringe" first-season finale without much knowledge of the series at all.
"I never paid much attention until I was asked to work on it and even then I didn't know a lot. I got the [home video] collection of the first season and [my wife] Susan and I were up in Lake Tahoe and last week we sat there about four or five hours at a time and watched them. And, wow, that show is something. They do a great production job. They have great story hooks, terrific production values and very interesting performances."
He mentioned in particular the work of John Noble, who portrays the wonderfully eccentric Walter Bishop, Bell's onetime colleague in the business of mad science.
"We just met for the first time and it was very enjoyable," Nimoy said, although he was careful not to say whether that encounter was on-screen or off.
For those of you in Southern California, you have a chance to meet Nimoy yourself and even have him shoot your portrait during a photo session. On Halloween, the Santa Monica Museum of Art will be displaying selected works from Nimoy's project "Who Do You Think You Are?" (which will be an exhibit at Mass MoCA next summer); the collection is a series of portraits where Nimoy asked strangers to reveal their secret selves. That "secret self" theme will carry into a costume contest at the Oct. 31 event and there a different price-level tickets. For more details on the event and the possibility of a photo shoot with Nimoy, go right here.

Professor Matt Bodie was quoted by Yahoo Finance concerning a fired Google employee's case about his removal from the company.
William C. Wefel Center for Employment Law
Drawing on its outstanding and nationally recognized faculty in this field, the School of Law established the Center for Employment Law in 1987. The Center is one of the first and few programs to offer students the opportunity to specialize in this area and to obtain a Concentration in Employment Law.
The Center's extensive curriculum offers a broad range of courses addressing the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, including the prohibition of discrimination; establishment of collective bargaining relationships in the private and public sector; regulation of employee benefits, health and safety in the workplace; and arbitration and mediation of labor and employment disputes.
To obtain a Concentration in Employment Law, students complete 11 hours of approved coursework in the employment field and write a paper of publishable quality on an employment law topic in addition to receiving a J.D. degree. All students in the Concentration program take the basic law labor course.
The Center has demonstrated its commitment to the promotion of academic scholarship as well as to serving the needs of the practicing bar by presenting conferences which explore current significant issues in labor and employment law. Many of the nationally known speakers at these conferences have also published articles in the Saint Louis University Law Journal and in the Public Law Review.
The conferences are held at the law school, thereby offering students who attend these programs the opportunity to learn about current critical issues in labor and employment law as well as the opportunity to meet and exchange views with prominent academics and leading members of the practicing bar. Programs of this nature also serve as a means of introducing students to prospective employers.
Every year, the Center and the student-sponsored Employment Law Association offer a variety of extra-curricular programs for students that address new legal developments, career opportunities and employment law practice.

On May 1 the nationwide boycott billed as "A Day Without Immigrants" was all over the evening news. ABC's World News Tonight reported that "more than a million people took to the streets in thirty cities," part of "a new wave of protests against legislation that would increase the penalties for being in the US illegally." On CBS, "they left their jobs and took to the streets to show us what America would be like without millions of immigrant workers." On Fox, "illegal immigrants and their allies took to streets across America…in an effort to show their economic importance to the country."
But on CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, it was a different story. "Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters today failed in their attempt to shut down most of our cities to support amnesty for all illegal aliens," the network's 6 pm news anchor reported that evening. Dobbs elaborated in his online column: "It is no accident that they chose May 1 as their day of demonstration and boycott. It is the worldwide day of commemorative demonstrations by various socialist, communist and even anarchic organizations…. No matter which flag demonstrators and protesters carry today, their leadership is showing its true colors to all who will see."
You might expect that sort of McCarthyesque description from Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh or some other famously right-wing provocateur on Fox or talk-radio. But Lou Dobbs, on CNN? These days, the network once pilloried by conservatives as a leading voice of the "liberal media" is offering an expansive platform to the nation's leading spokesman for anti-immigration hardliners. Night after night, under the rousing headline "Broken Borders," the distinguished-looking 61-year-old instructs his growing audience that illegal immigrants import deadly diseases, rampant crime and international terrorism; they live off welfare, destroy public schools and burden hospitals; what's more, most haven't even learned to speak English. Add that they're foot soldiers sent by the Mexican government to "reconquer" the Southwest, and by the end of the hour, we have seen the enemy–and he's a Spanish-speaking immigrant. Despite the grave threat, Dobbs declares, our lawmakers are doing nothing about it. Thus Dobbs branded the recent bipartisan Senate reform bill, designed to allow more immigrants to work here legally while also securing the borders, "The Amnesty Agenda"–a "pathetic sham" that would make a "mockery" of the American people.
Dobbs's hysteria and jingoism are now notorious. He's been ridiculed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show for calling for the abolition of "ethnocentric" holidays that involve waving other nations' flags (thus eliminating St. Patrick's Day); by Andy Borowitz, who wrote in Newsweek that President Bush had decided to move Dobbs to the Mexican border instead of 6,000 National Guard troops; and by the hosts of a Los Angeles radio show, who recently offered a cash prize to the first illegal immigrant mother to name her baby Lou Dobbs.

Bedford police chief stresses crime prevention
BEDFORD - Despite high-profile crimes, the town of Bedford says it is continuing to make crime prevention a top priority, and the police department's Community Policing Program is at the heart of it.
Chief John Bryfonski, who formalized the program about a year ago, said that while his department has to be good at solving crimes, it should also be able to thwart them whenever possible.
"We should be focused on preventing crime," Bryfonski said, "and to do that, we have to engage the community in the process."
The Community Policing Program is based on meeting the needs of residents in four groups, said Bryfonski - the elderly, children, businesses and neighborhood groups, with a crime prevention piece for each one.
"It focuses on four groups that should really touch on every citizen in Bedford," he said.
Town Manager Jessie Levine said the program provides an important connection between residents and the department.
"In addition to crime prevention, I like the idea that our residents and businesses will get to know the men and women who work for our police department," she said. "I think it helps a community feel smaller when we can interact on a more personal level."
For seniors, the Are You OK? program is one of the ways the elderly can have regular contact with the department. A computer-generated call is made to a registered residence, and if the phone is not answered, police pay a visit to the home.
"This gives a sense of security not only to the participants, but also to their families," Bryfonski said.
Bryfonski said the department also provides seminars on issues that may be important to Bedford's seniors, including scams that target the elderly.
"We've done a lot of talks with seniors, they're really well-received and our officers love doing it," Bryfonski said.
Children and youth can expect to see Bedford Police officers in their school communities as well.
From reading stories to elementary students about strangers to joining older students at after-school sports programs, Bryfonski stressed the importance of kids having positive contact with his staff.
"It allows them to interact on a different level," he said, adding that the casual atmosphere lends itself to more openness and engagement on the part of the students, and allows officers to be seen as role models.
Police also work with businesses on issues such as shoplifting and robbery, as well as parking lot safety.
An area that is seeing growth in terms of community policing is the Neighborhood Watch program, Bryfonski said.
"The neighborhood watches have really taken off," he said. "It's been wonderful to see."
Neighbors can meet with officers to get tips on safeguarding themselves and their properties.
"We want them to 'harden their targets,' " Bryfonski said, by implementing safety measures such as deadbolts, motion sensor lights and securing window air conditioners.
"A vast amount of the housing stock in Bedford is secluded," Bryfonski said, with many houses set back far from the road.
"People don't always think of ways burglars can get into their houses," he said.
With many residents working during the day, Bryfonski said most break-ins occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and residents should report anything that appears suspicious to the department immediately.
Many people don't make a call when they see something suspicious because they don't want to bother the department, Bryfonski said.
"But that is precisely what folks need to call us about," he said.
Bryfonski said the department saw a slight spike in calls regarding suspicious activity after a home invasion on Proclamation Court in November that left an anesthesiologist and his wife seriously injured, but when the department rolled out its "See something, say something" campaign in early 2012, those calls tripled.
"That's exactly what we want to see," he said.
Levine said she appreciates the enthusiasm with which the patrol officers have embraced the neighborhood watch program and their eagerness to develop and embrace it.
Bryfonski has also introduced a Meet the Chief program, which will be held the second Tuesday of each month, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bedford Safety Complex.
"I want folks to feel like they can contact any one of us any time," he said. "It's what we're here for - our first duty is to be public servants."

When Dan and Margo Duesterhaus moved into their Ellicott City home 12 years ago, the solar power movement was still more concept than reality. But the couple had always been environmentally conscious, and they put their ideals into action.
Starting in 2007, the couple had 32 solar panels installed on three sections of the roof, two additional panels for their solar water heater and another smaller panel for a solar attic fan. They added solar daylight tubes at three locations on the main floor of their rancher, two small heat pumps and large windows with extensive insulation.
Over five years, the Duesterhauses transformed their 1950s-era home into a model of energy-efficiency.
"It was a long-term desire," said Margo Duesterhaus, an IT consultant for the Baltimore-Washington firm Triple TeQ. "We were interested in the long-term cost savings, and obviously we had a concern for the environment."
This weekend, the Duesterhaus home is one of the stops on the Metropolitan Washington Tour of Solar and Green Homes, which features 50 solar-powered homes in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia. The Duesterhauses expected to greet at least 25 visitors when they opened their house Saturday; other houses in the area will be open Sunday as well.
"People want to know about cost," said Dan Duesterhaus. "In addition, they want to know which companies we worked with, and the federal and state tax credits."
Many of the homes on the tour — part of the larger American Solar Energy Society National Tour — are located along the Interstate 95 corridor between Baltimore and Washington, but the tour includes homes in Reisterstown, Glen Burnie, Owings Mills and White Marsh. The complete tour guide can be downloaded at http://www.solartour.org.
"We started with maybe a dozen homes in the D.C. metro area, but within five years we had grown to 35," said Chip Gribben, an organizer of the metropolitan tour. "Five years ago, we were up to 75 homes, but have since cut it back to 50 in order to better manage the event."
At a time when going green is considered pragmatic as well as environmentally conscious, the weekend event attempts to educate people about solar energy and the benefits of putting the technology in their homes.
"One of the great things about the tour is that you get to talk to the homeowners," Margo Duesterhaus said. "You're not talking to someone who is trying to sell you something."
The solar-energy industry has grown considerably in the past two decades. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, there were 3,645 solar panels shipped at a cost of $2.90 per square foot in 1990. By 2009, the number of panels shipped had risen to 10,511, while the price per square foot fell to $1.94.
The increasing popularity of solar energy is evident in Maryland, which was named a "Top 10 Solar State" by the Solar Energy Industries Association. The industry also provides a considerable number of jobs. In 2012, more than 2,000 people worked for about 100 solar companies in Maryland.
"Solar should be mainstream," Gribben said. "We're encouraging people to go for cleaner energy. When you see panels on a house, it should be normal."
The initial investment in solar energy can be large.
Three years ago, Frank Smith of Glen Burnie spent more than $44,000 installing solar power at his home, which was built in 1957. But significantly lower energy costs and tax credits from the state have helped offset that expenditure.
"I pay no electric bill whatsoever," said Smith, whose house is on the tour for the first time this year. "I will recoup my entire investment in just seven to 10 years. Now I'm also looking to put solar panels on the garage behind the house."
When Smith bought his Cape Cod-style home in 1985, solar energy wasn't an option. He's pleased that the concept has caught on.
"The lack of an electric bill was a primary factor, but we also wanted to reduce our carbon footprint," said Smith, who also owns an electric car. "You can't just throw panels on an old, leaky house. We also replaced appliances and light bulbs, and added 11/2 inches of Styrofoam insulation."
The cost savings was also an important part of the Duesterhauses' decision to renovate their home.
"The first year that we had the panels, our total electric bill was about $120. That was about a 90 percent savings," said Margo Duesterhaus, whose Toyota Prius hybrid sports a bumper sticker that reads "Fossil fuels are so last century."
The family's environmental awareness didn't stop with their house. The Duesterhauses, whose home is on the tour for the third time, installed solar sidewalk lights, two rain gardens, and a food forest — a form of woodlands gardening — on their property.
They also spread the conservation message in other ways, especially to their college-age children, Colin and Laura.
"I've been involved with our Boy Scout troop for about 11 years, and one of the principles that they espouse is 'leave no trace.'" said Dan Duesterhaus, who works for the NSA. "When we went camping, we could give that really important message to the Scouts, that we are all stewards" of the environment.
Thanks to this weekend's tours, many inquiring visitors could become converts to solar power.
"My next-door neighbor and one of my best friends got [solar energy] on my recommendation," Smith said. "It's the greatest investment we've ever made."
This year's Metropolitan Washington Tour of Solar and Green Homes is being held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-6. Guidebooks listing the homes on the tour, including a map and addresses, are available at area MOM (Mom's Organic Market) stores for $5 or can be downloaded for free at solartour.org.

Expect IT consolidation, cost cutting during Obama's second term
CIOs hope to trim costs through smarter contracts, shared services and cloud.
Expanding the Office of Management and Budget's PortfolioStat process for reviewing agencies' informational technology spending will be one focus of the second Obama term, Deputy Federal Chief Information Officer Lisa Schlosser said Wednesday.
Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel launched PortfolioStat in March focused mainly on reducing what agencies were paying for commodity IT such as wireless services and new desktop and laptop computer orders. The program was patterned after TechStat, a series of adapt-or-perish reviews created by VanRoekel's predecessor Vivek Kundra for IT projects that are over budget and past deadline.
Officials plan to expand PortfolioStat during the second term to help cut costs for projects that are unique to agencies' missions, Schlosser said. She was speaking at a lunch event focused on federal IT priorities during President Obama's second term hosted by the Association for Federal Information Resources Management, a government-industry group.
Enlarging PortfolioStat is one of several measures the administration hopes will pare back legacy IT spending during the second term, panelists at the event said. Others included increasing cooperation between IT and procurement officers, offering more shared services across agencies and expanding the government's reliance on more nimble cloud computing.
The General Services Administration has accrued some savings by using an IT spending tracker that's part of an internal social network powered by Salesforce.com, GSA CIO Casey Coleman said.
"Any spending on IT goes through that now," she said. "That visibility helps us to understand the totality of all the dollars going into this function and we start to see how we can do things differently."
Discuss the future of Federal IT with experts, innovators and your peers on Dec. 3 in Washington at Nextgov Prime, the defining event in the federal technology landscape. Learn more at nextgov.com/prime.

Two Pillars of CIU Remembered
February 28, 2014
On Feb. 22, the day the CIU family gathered at The First Presbyterian in Columbia to remember Dr. Bill Larkin's 38 years of service in the classroom, we learned that Dr. Terry Hulbert passed away. Hulbert served at CIU for 40 years as an administrator and professor. Between them were nearly eight decades of impact on students and evangelical scholarship.
The State newspaper of Columbia memorialized the men in this article:

In a 2015 blog post, the Open Philanthropy Project contrasted several strategies for coordinating Good Ventures' donations with those of smaller donors. One was 'splitting,' in which a large donor commits to funding only a fixed percentage of a funding gap (between two thresholds of efficacy) in a given year. The advantage of this is said to be that a $1 marginal donation by a small donor will increase funding to the recipient charity by $1, in contrast to 'funging' where the large donor reduces its donation in response to the small donor, so that funding to the recipient charity increases by substantially less than $1. However, this distinction does not hold when funding gaps can substantially carry over from year to year. In the limit of perfect carryover, funging of small donors could approach 100%. With substantial stochastic carryover funging could be likewise substantial, while 'one-time' opportunities may suffer minimal funging. I suggest that some accounting for carryover across periods must accompany 'splitting' to avoid donor illusion.

Creating a donor-advised fund lottery
Summary: In a previous post I discussed the construction of charity lotteries, which let donors who think that the effectiveness of their donations has increasing returns to scale convert small donations into a small chance of donations large enough to exploit scale economies. However, transaction and coordination costs pose a barrier to individual users: there are scale economies to setting up charity lotteries. Effective altruists looking for projects could set up a charity lottery with low transaction costs using a donor-advised fund to provide easy access to small donors.

The age distribution of GiveWell recommended charities
Summary: GiveWell's list of top and standout charities is identical to that of 2014, although with special emphasis on the Against Malaria Foundation. Giving What We Can's recommendations have been static for several years. To estimate what rate of churn we should expect, I examine the age distribution of GiveWell (and Giving What We Can) recommended charities. For top international aid charities, typical age is a decade or less, possibly a result of focus on smaller organizations narrowly focused on interventions with recent funding gaps.

Various functional forms for brain-weighting wild insects and farmed land animals favor the former
Summary: Some people have offered guesses or intuitions that when comparing animals with very different nervous system scales, they should be weighted by the logarithm or square root of neural capacity, while also taking the view that the impacts of animal agriculture on wild insects are not much greater than the impacts on farmed land animals. Considering these functional forms, and linear weighting with number of neurons, it appears they assign a much greater total weight to wild insect populations affected by agricultural land use than to the land animals being farmed. This suggests a revision of some combination of the weighting schemes and evaluations of agricultural impacts.

Some considerations for prioritization within animal agriculture
Summary: Conflicting rationales have been offered to prioritize reduction of particular sectors of factory farming and animal agriculture, and I review a selection of these. Cattle make the largest contribution to climate change, and cattle raised for meat create the greatest demand for agricultural land use. Smaller chickens and farmed fish are much more numerous. Taking still more numerous wild animals into account would suggest that cattle farming has the largest impact, positive or negative. Taking neural capacity into account favors attention to large farmed animals, but this measure is still dominated by wild animals. Mental abilities such as learning and social intelligence do not seem to have strong implications between chickens and cattle. An alternative perspective is that focus should be on changes in human attitudes, efforts, and organizations, as these contribute to further change.

Trends in farmed animal life-years per kg and per human in the United States
Summary: Selective breeding, drugs, and altered diets have greatly increased the quantity of milk, meat, and eggs produced per year of farmed animal life for multiple species, creating side effects that lowered the quality of life of farmed animals, and increasing consumption through lower prices. In the United States it appears that for some agricultural industries productivity increases since 1950 might have reduced farmed animal-years enough to outweigh the effect of falling prices. These include dairy, beef, and eggs. However, total animal-years of chickens raised for meat, the most populous farmed land animal, increased dramatically in total and per capita, despite a severalfold reduction in chicken-years per kg of meat sold. Increases in production efficiency may reduce demand for farmed animal-years in some mature developed country markets, while increasing demand in larger emerging markets. Further analysis using detailed income and price elasticity information, as well as welfare effects of overbreeding, could estimate net effects of technological change on animal welfare.

In November 2005 Bexar County citizens approved a $450 million bond package to construct new Alamo College facilities and renovate existing buildings in order to accommodate student growth. Â Nearly four years later, 24 new buildings totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet, plus countless renovations, are the results of the bond issue.
The money funded improvements at the district's four colleges, build a new northeast college and implemented information technology improvements. At that time, Alamo's enrollment had grown 41 percent from 38,000 credit students in fall 1998 to 52,000 in Spring 2005. In September 2009 enrollment surpassed 60,000 credit students.
The bond issue was overseen by a Citizens Bond Oversight Committee established to ensure that planned bond expenditures were approved and carried out in accordance with Board recommendations.
A 2009 snapshot shows construction completed on time and under budget. Renovation projects that were part of the CIP bond issue are ongoing.

Gilford Middle School's principal set to retireBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
January 16. 2014 8:58PM
GILFORD — Marcia Ross is glad she went into education 40 years ago. But now it's time for something completely different.
Ross, the principal at Gilford Middle School, has announced her retirement after 40 years as a school administrator and teacher in Gilford, Durham, Wolfeboro and Barnstead. Her contract is up at the end of this year.
After engaging students for decades about the need for structure in life, she's opting for a simpler life in retirement.
"I'm looking forward to the more unstructured times now," Ross said with a laugh. "I also want to go out while I'm still relevant."
Ross said she grew up thinking about this career.
"I wanted to be a teacher from the time I was child," she said. "Now, I believe I made the right choice."
She is a 1973 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, where she received a bachelor's degree in history and a minor in political science. She went on to receive a master's in education degree from UNH.
She came to Gilford from Oyster River High School in Durham, where she was assistant principal for 13 years. She also spent seven years teaching in the former Gilford Middle-High School and was a social studies teacher at Barnstead Elementary School. Her first teaching post was at Kingswood Middle School, where she taught social studies.
In Gilford, she is credited by school officials with helping to improve the school's curriculum and technology.
"I feel really glad and privileged that I was able to finish up my career in Gilford. I work with really great people here; it's a great school and it's exciting work. It was great having the support of so many people," she said.
Now, though, it's on to better things in retirement.
"It's really hard to believe it's been 40 years," she said. "But 40 years, that's pretty amazing."

For Release: Thursday, April 26, 2012
Pollution Prevention Institute to Help NY Companies Use Green Technologies
to Create Green Jobs and Be More Competitive
Initiative Will Market Green Products and Create Green Manufacturing Supply Chains
Rochester-Based Complemar is First Company Enrolled in Program
The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) at Rochester Institute of Technology today launched its Green Initiative to provide a sustainable road map for New York businesses, state Department of Environment Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens and NYSP2I Director Anahita Williamson announced. The Green Initiative programs will propel nascent green technologies and products to the next step in commercialization and provide expertise in developing more sustainable manufacturing supply chains.
The Green Initiative will foster a new era of manufacturing competitiveness by creating opportunities for innovation, environmental stewardship and production efficiency. The effort is divided into two components, the Green Technology Accelerator Center, or GTAC, and the Sustainable Supply Chain and Technology Program. Both components of the two-year program were developed to increase the availability of green jobs and generate additional revenue for New York state businesses.
"P2I is once again promoting sustainability by helping New York businesses use more environmentally friendly practices that have the potential to increase their bottom lines," Martens said. "P2I's Green Initiative is proving that what is good for the environment is also good for the economy. DEC is proud to fund P2I's efforts to lessen the environmental footprint of New York's business sector."
"NYSP2I is excited to launch the Green Initiative," said Williamson. "Both the Green Technology Accelerator Center and Sustainable Supply Chain & Technology Programs align with New York State's mission to continue to grow jobs. These programs will fill the gaps and provide technical assistance to incubators and existing companies wanting to develop, accelerate and compete in current and emerging markets."
NYSP2I's GTAC will help three to six companies market green technologies and products. Through the program, NYSP2I, university partners and technology incubators will provide technical development assistance and support to both startup and established companies to develop and commercialize green technology concepts. Products may include sustainable building materials, green chemicals, water and energy efficiency technologies, toxin replacement and substitution, material recycling and remanufacturing.
The Sustainable Supply Chain and Technology Program will help eight New York state manufacturers take advantage of global sustainable manufacturing and green supply chain opportunities. It will enable manufacturers to enter into new and existing green markets by helping them identify and comply with voluntary green standards and certification requirements. NYSP2I will also provide technical assistance to manufacturers in sustainable practices and help New York state suppliers market products that meet sustainability standards.
Complemar Partners Inc., the first company to utilize the GTAC program, manufactures equipment that uses Ultraviolet light technology for cider pasteurization. The company will use the GTAC program to conduct a case study to validate and quantify its product's performance using a NYSP2I partner university as a technical resource.
Complemar Vice President of Operation and Client Solutions Ann Wood said, "The GTAC initiative provides Complemar the opportunity to utilize the expertise of NYSP2I and the RIT team to accelerate the growth of Complemar's Food Processing Equipment Division. Our CiderSure equipment, with its low energy consumption, provides an economic solution to the apple industry. The GTAC project fast tracks our products into larger markets creating new opportunities for employment in the Rochester community."
Businesses interested in learning more about the programs should contact NYSP2I at (585) 475-2512 or email@example.com.
NYSP2I is housed at the Rochester Institute of Technology and provides statewide, comprehensive and integrated programming in technology research, development and diffusion, training, and education aimed at making New York State more sustainable for workers, the public, the environment and the economy. The Institute was created in 2008 through a grant from the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Additional partners include Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Clarkson University, the State University of New York at Buffalo and New York's 10 Regional Technology Development Centers.
ESD President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams said, "Facilitating business growth and opportunity is a top priority for Governor Cuomo and Empire State Development. The Green Initiative launched by P2I is yet another tool now available to help our start-up companies and existing businesses move their innovative green technologies and products into the marketplace. We're proud to partner with our state's premier research and development institutions like the Rochester Institute of Technology in attracting critical private sector investment in our emerging high technology fields and creating the green jobs of the future."
State Senator Mark Grisanti said, "I am pleased that the NYSP21 right here in Rochester will be helping companies utilize green technologies to develop and commercialize green products. All of New York State will become more competitive if it finds ways for manufacturers to pool resources when it comes to making practices more environmentally friendly throughout the making and distribution of products. The Green Initiative should help generate both revenue and green jobs for New York. This is the kind of project DEC should continue to support."
"As chair of the assembly's Environmental Conservation Committee, I see the overwhelming value this green initiative will have on businesses that enroll in the program," said Assemblyman Robert Sweeney. "Companies like Complemar will be able to take advantage of the Green Technology Acceleration Center to incorporate real-world economic solutions utilizing green technology."
"I applaud the Rochester Institute of Technology, the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute, and the partnership of 16 research technological laboratories across the state whose goal is to make New York State more sustainable for workers, the public, the environment and the economy through reductions in toxic chemical use, the efficient use of raw materials, energy and water with the reduction in emissions to the environment and waste generation," added Assemblymember Harry B. Bronson. "Through the adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices, the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute is attaining the goals of enhanced environmental quality and increased economic competitiveness for our state's industry and providing a greener planet for our children."
"RIT is leading the way by developing a blueprint for job growth in which economic and environmental interests complement rather than compete with each other," said Assemblyman Joseph D. Morelle. "This is the key to developing a sustainable and successful economy, and I am proud to support this great institution and the work it's doing to provide new opportunity and prosperity for our region and state."
The Business Council of New York State, President and CEO Heather Briccetti said, "The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute has become a facilitator of innovation, practicality and sustainability, resulting in technology that is greener and more cost efficient. Today's announcement provides opportunity for more businesses in this state to draw upon the resources of the institute; helping them to utilize green technologies. This is a true contribution to the long-term sustainability of New York's economy."
"It's great to know that New York state businesses have a resource in the NYSP2I," said Paul MacEnroe, President of the Mohawk Valley Applied Technology Corp, "Businesses should take advantage of these new programs that aid in green technology and its advancement in New York."
