Centennial, Committee Week on RVIA Agenda
June 7, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Centennial, Committee Week on RVIA Agenda
Representatives of the RV industry from across North America will converge on Elkhart, Ind., tonight for the official celebration of the RV centennial.
All 1,000 tickets for the once-in-a-century event were sold weeks ago, sponsor Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) reported.
The celebration comes during RVIA's annual Committee Week, which begins today.
Several Indiana state and natural political figures have been invited to the centennial event which begins at 6:30 p.m. at the RV/MH Heritage Museum on the city's northeast side. The event is on, rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, all outdoor events will be moved inside.
The RV Centennial Celebration will include a barbecue and outdoor reception featuring casual fare and a variety of entertaining booths, a Centennial Campfire surrounded by antique RVs and more. The outdoor reception will be followed by a special program honoring the industry's past. The fast-paced, one–hour program held inside the RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum will include entertaining videos and presentations saluting the industry's history and a cake-cutting ceremony. A rousing fireworks display will wrap up the evening.
RVIA previously announced important parking guidelines for those attending the event. Limited parking will be available on-site at the RV/MH Hall of Fame and Museum in Elkhart and at the neighboring RSM McGladrey accounting firm. In order for event attendees to park on-site, they must be participating in a carpool with at least three people per car.
For those unable to carpool, RVIA is offering shuttle buses that will take guests to and from the Century Center Marriott in South Bend and RV/MH Hall of Fame. RVIA will also offer nearby satellite parking with shuttle-bus service to the event. Companies that have large groups of attendees coming to the Centennial Celebration are urged to run their own buses to allow as many of their attendees as possible to travel together as a group in one vehicle.
The party comes at the start of RVIA's Committee Week, traditionally held in Washington, D.C. All Committee Week activities will be held at the Century Center in downtown South Bend, located 15 miles west of Elkhart.
Because Committee Week is being held in northern Indiana, the hub of the RV industry, the RVIA expects attendance at this week's meetings to be higher than normal, RVIA Vice President Mac Bryan said.
Committee Week meetings began at 8 a.m. today and conclude with the RVIA board of directors meeting scheduled for all day on Thursday.

By ,
Published November 20, 2014
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed for divorce from his wife of 16 years, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
The Journal News, citing Westchester County clerk records, said on its website that the filing occurred on May 12, three days before Kennedy's wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, was charged with drunken driving.
It said details, including any grounds cited for divorce, were not available.
Calls to Robert Kennedy and to Mary Kennedy's attorney were not immediately returned. The Journal News quoted Kennedy as saying, "I'm not going to talk to you about my personal life."
Kennedy, a prominent environmentalist, is the son of assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Mary Kennedy is his second wife. They have four children.
Kennedy had two children with his first wife, whom he divorced in 1994.
Mary Kennedy was arrested May 15 after a police officer reported seeing her drive her car over a curb near their home in Bedford, 45 miles north of New York City. Police said she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent; the legal limit is 0.08 percent.
Robert Kennedy did not appear at his wife's May 28 arraignment, when she pleaded not guilty and agreed to be evaluated to see if she needs treatment for alcohol abuse.
Police said they had responded to the Kennedy home twice in the week before her arrest but no crimes had been committed.
Lt. Jeff Dickan said that in one call, Mary Kennedy reported a dispute between children. He said the other visit resulted in a state domestic incident report but there were "no crimes committed, no report of assault, no arrests and no need for follow-up."

New Year Update 2013 – King Street Cultural Quarter
Happy New Year!
So 2013 has arrived and we've waved goodbye to 2012. Hope you had a wonderful festive season and ready for the year ahead.
Don't worry, despite 2012 being an incredibly memorable year, there's lots going on in 2013 so it should be a good year too.
|Thank You – King Street Question Time
First things first, a huge thank you to everyone who attended the King Street Question Time and most of all a huge thank you to the brave soles who volunteered to make up the question time panel – Dr. Stephen Johnson, Tim Williams, Superintendent Paul Sanford, Philip Hardy, Lesley Grahame, Alec Hartley and Nick Bond.
There are notes at the bottom of this email of the King Street Question Time and the quick AGM that took place just before, in case you weren't able to attend.
|Events Committee Meeting
Wednesday 16th January
First event of the year, or should we say gathering, is the Events Committee Meeting. Anyone who is interested in helping us organise the King Street Cultural Quarter, please come along to Jurnets Bar at Wensum Lodge, King Street, Norwich for 6.30pm on Wednesday 16th January.
Don't worry, by coming along you won't have to get involved, but it's a great chance to find out a little more about King Street Cultural Quarter and see whether you'd like to be involved.
King Street Winter Warmer
We'll send out details shortly, but please put in your diary that all members of the King Street Cultural Quarter are invited to join us for a Winter Warmer on Tuesday 12th February.
King Street Cultural Weekend
The team are working on plans for the King Street Cultural Weekend. We'll post lots of information on the website and social media shortly, plus posters etc will be distributed around the King Street area.The general idea of the event is to have a lot of smaller events all connecting together for that weekend, finishing with the Big Lunch on Sunday which was such a success last year.
If you are planning any events for that weekend and would like them included in the programme for the weekend, then please let us know. We are looking for anything cultural, from art exhibitions to concerts, demonstrations to food & drink events.
Logo suggestions for this event would be most welcome too.
King Street Question Time
After the success of 2012's Question Time, we've decided to repeat the event. Suggestions of question time panel members would be welcome and we'll be asking for questions nearer the event.

King Street Question Time
Held on Wednesday 14 November 2012 at the King's Centre
- Lesley Grahame LG (Norwich City Councillor)
- Nick Bond NB (Visit Norwich)
- Tim Williams TW (Development Editor, Archant Anglia)
- Dr Stephen Johnson SJ (Broads Authority)
- Philip Hardy PH (Norfolk County Councillor)
- Superintendent Paul Sandford PS (Norfolk Constabulary)
- Alec Hartley AH (Norwich Society)
- Jason Borthwick JB (King Street Cultural Quarter, Chair)
Members of the King Street Cultural Quarter, local residents and other interested parties were invited to submit questions to a panel at a Question Time event on the future of King Street.
The Chair, JB, gave a brief introduction to the event and the panellists went on to introduce themselves to the audience.
Question 1: Have we made the best use of the river?
- SJ – River Wensum is part of the Norfolk Broads – ambitions to become a National Park in its own right. Norwich is the only city with a river as part of the National Park family. We don't make the best use of our river – planning decisions have historically affected areas where there is no riverside access. Future benefits of the river could include boating, new punting scheme, leisure usage. Broads Authority planning department has control over the river itself but not the river bank which may be in the hands of several authorities or private ownership. Many opportunities for better use of the river, needs research into how people use the river and what the needs of the river itself are.
- AH – discussion paper by the Wensum River Parkway Project "Bringing Life Back to the River" published earlier this year (2012). End of industrial usage led to development opportunities. Obstacles – complications in planning process, people often don't know about the requirements for moorings, who has jurisdiction. The report recommends an integrated access policy, proper management, an ownership study, areas for houseboats, association of riverside businesses, need for integrated planning, consistent riverside walk, aim to complete the riverside walkway through the city. River becoming less navigable beyond the New Mills. Conflicts between environmental protection and navigation demands. People like living in Norwich because of assets such as the river, historic environment etc. Discussion paper available on Norwich Society website. Early 2013 – working party meeting to produce an integrated access strategy.
- LG – King Street and Riverside residents' associations should be consulted. King Street Cultural Weekend proposed theme of "Turning Our Faces to the River". Ambition to make the river corridor inhabited.
- TW – We don't make enough use of the river. Needs to be developed in tandem with people and the environment. Should make the river the centre point of our city – Norwich Business Improvement group is promoting tourism, linking the city with visitors to the Broads. Planners must take responsibility for mistakes of the past – such as building the Riverside complex.
Question 2 – Who has the remit for providing river access and moorings for residential houseboats?
- SJ – Many parties have claims on river and banks, City, County and District councils, Broads Authority, Environment Agency, private owners. No obligation to provide long term moorings for live-aboard boats. Free 24-hour moorings available in several places on the Broads – for leisure use not residential in most cases. No permanent moorings provided by Broads Authority – some spaces in private boatyards and marinas available. Permanent residential moorings need planning permission, proper servicing and facilities, emergency services access and waste disposal.
- AH – There appears to be no codified requirement or official policy for zones of occupation along the river. Important that consideration is given for permanent moorings. Popular, safe and financially viable in other cities – properly serviced, self-policing sites. Access to river – issues in King Street area with developers (PJ Livesey) appealing against City Council's decision to refuse retrospective planning permission to close off the access to the river at Read Mills.
Comments from the floor:
- Central government has issued instructions to local planning authorities to make better use of rivers. What about providing moorings on the opposite side of King Street from ABC Wharf next to Wherryman's Way path?
- Only 3 or 4 designated mooring sites on the whole Broads network, nobody is encouraged to offer mooring for live-aboards. Need for management policy developed with input from river residents themselves, which provides services, infrastructure and the will to change, resulting in better quality of boats and discouraging illegal mooring.
- Question about the overgrown old utilities site at the confluence of the Wensum and Yare backing on to Carey's Meadow. Could be developed as alternative to Whitlingham country and water park. AH responded that plans to redevelop this site had fallen through about 3 years ago. Nobody is certain who has responsibility for planning over these dead sites, including St Anne's Wharf, Targetfollow etc. Also disused marina on Thorpe Island.
- SJ – Thorpe Island is a conservation area with a basin at its West end, with permission for 12 boats, owner currently has 20 boats, Broads Authority looking at potential action and private development.
- LG – South City Centre report recommends a marina, access to the river along King Street. City Council officers are in discussions over possibilities at St Anne's Wharf.
Question 3 – Do the panel support the Rose Lane Community Garden and more green spaces in the area generally?
- Update on draft lease agreed for Rose Lane Community Garden with Norwich City Council.
- LG – Growing community and gardens. Example of Parmentergate Court garden – Residents wanting to grow food in hard times, improved communication between tenants in flats. Garden share scheme – matching up gardens and gardeners.
- NB – Green Spaces make a contribution to Norwich's offer to visitors and tourists.
- AH – Need for benches and stopping places in open areas like community gardens and riverside walks.
- PH – important to make best use of space in the city – residents need asking for views – mechanism for ideas to travel.
Comments from the floor:
- Residents are fed up with developers and property owners sitting on derelict land, non-owners have no ability to change the situation, example of areas near Dragon Hall – looks unsightly with litter and vandalism. We need green lungs in the city centre, more allotments.
- PH – Recommends Community Gardeners get in touch with Norwich in Bloom and the Grapes Hill Community Garden which recently won an award.
Question 4 – What is happening with the derelict brewery site at St Anne's Wharf and Howard House?
- PH – We need to sort out derelict sites in King Street area. Norfolk County Council has an ongoing bid for St Anne's Wharf site.
- AH – Brewery site has been vacant for 20 years, 3 different failed plans, site was divided up and all three parts went bust. Existing planning consents are valuable assets in their own right to the administrators. Debacle over Howard House – Grade 2* listed building on the Buildings At Risk Register for many years, the sole remaining house in Norwich with connection to the Dukes of Norfolk, historically and architecturally important. Norwich Preservation Trust has been talking to administrators about taking over Howard House – plans, finance, English Heritage grant all in place – project now on hold – sticking point was expansion of curtilage to provide garden and parking space affecting the existing planning permissions. City Council refuses to issue preservation orders or compulsory purchase.
Question 5 – Why have there been problems with tree planting schemes in the area?
- A DEFRA grant-funded project to plant trees in hard surface areas along King Street was blocked due to objections from CCTV operators and City Council.
- PS – The Police have had issues with trees on Prince of Wales Road and Bank Plain obscuring CCTV coverage which may have influenced the decision for King Street. Need for long term maintenance to trim back trees.
- TW – the issue is whether we value trees or CCTV?
- LG – need for joined up thinking, joint planning meetings.
- AH – maintenance costs – City Council is not able to take on any new costs incurred by such schemes.
- JB – Section 106 agreements cover costs of long term maintenance.
Comments from the floor:
- Trees are mostly outside the Waterfront venue, where there's greatest need for cameras. How many crimes have been solved in this area by CCTV footage?
- Residents at top end of street would prefer trees to cars outside their properties.
- City Council is always blamed – but where is the breakdown in communication?
- Neighbourhood action plan – can include issues such as car parking, tree planting, derelict sites. Action can be made by a Neighbourhood Forum – 21 residents of the area can draw up the action plan, doesn't have to go through Council if supported by neighbourhood. Document can become part of official policy, the Local Plan for the area.
- LG – Neighbourhood plans must comply with existing Local Plan, can influence planning criteria. Great degree of agreement in response to South City area consultation.
Question 6 – What is the plan to provide more low cost social housing in the area?
- LG – united view that derelict land could be used for housing – South City consultation is looking for funding to develop derelict areas, certain proportion has to be social housing.
- TW –Norwich City Council requires a higher percentage of social housing than elsewhere – developers dislike social housing and this can affect success of new projects.
- SJ – planning documents – City can only designate certain areas for specific usage – e.g. 30% social housing.
- AH – Housing standards were scrapped, size of rooms, building specs no longer tightly controlled.
Comments from the floor:
- Quality of housing – private developments are not well built – people in social housing deserve a good quality of life and housing, recent attempts have no gardens, no balconies, not integrated well into development – ghettoization. Plea for higher spec new builds.
- Music House Lane site – flagship housing plans have come to nothing.
- Planners can demand a certain spec for new housing.
Any Other Business?
- PS – news on changes to the Licensing Act – 24 hour drinking, pubs and clubs near King Street are open longer and later. New rules – Early morning restriction orders can be requested, give last time for serving alcohol. Police are presenting to the council on 27 November, public consultation – revised last orders in city: 3am Sunday-Thursday and 3-4am on Fridays and Saturdays. Aim to reduce noise and disorder in the area.
JB thanked the panel and the audience. Further information will be posted on www.kingst.co.uk and the King Street Cultural Quarter social media when available – www.facebook.com/KingStNorwich and www.twitter.com/KingStNorwich

Wednesday 14th November
7.15pm to 9pm
Conference Room 2, Kings Centre

Mid February
King Street Cultural Quarter plan to arrange three events each year.
The November Question Time is one, the Cultural Weekend is the second and the third is the Winter Warmer.
This event will happen in mid February, for Cultural Quarter members.
The idea is for neighbours and businesses to meet each other and warm up this cooler time of the year.
We'll let all the Cultural Quarter members know details in early January and post details on the website: www.kingst.co.uk
The consultants are working on the draft proposals at the moment, having had huge amounts of representation and input from both local residents and businesses.
They will shortly be announcing an exhibition to set out the proposals. That exhibition is likely to happen in early November, please watch the website for dates. They will contact people directly with details, if you've given them your contact information.
More information can be found on their website: www.norwichsouthcityarea.co.uk
The main way for us to communicate to our members is email and the website –

Please – We really need your help with distribution.
If you have an hour or 2 to spare in the next couple of weeks, we'd love your help distributing copies of this newsletter.
If you're interested and can help, then please do get in touch:

New Year Update 2012 – King Street Cultural Quarter
Happy New Year to everyone in the King Street Cultural Quarter. Hope you had
a good festive season and that 2012 has started well for you.
We thought it would be useful to send you an update on how the King Street
Cultural Quarter is progressing, let you know ways you can be involved and get
your thoughts on ideas.
There are plans for new walking signs along King Street and the Riverside, to
Signs around the City, including the Station, will signpost walkers to King
We'll let you know when the signs are likely to be installed.
Thank you to Kieran Yates from Norwich City Council who came along to go
A big thank you to Natasha and Brenda, without them the Cultural Quarter wouldn't have existed. They've been carrying out the organisational & secretarial side of the King Street Cultural Quarter, but sadly their contracts at Dragon Hall will finish in March. We wish them luck with new projects.
As such we need to find someone to help with the membership management. Perhaps you have some spare staff time or know someone who would like some part-time secretarial work.
Please get in touch with Jason, the Cultural Quarter Chair (firstname.lastname@example.com), and we can look at ways to fund a part-time position.
The development of the King Street Cultural Quarter is all about the members of the Quarter. The more people who join, the better the representation and chance of carrying out projects.
If you haven't already filled in the membership form online, please do. Membership is FREE, whether you are an individual or an organisation.
You can find the membership form at:
The more members, the more chance of funding, so please pass this onto your next door neighbours, your work colleagues and anyone else you think may be interested in the King Street Cultural Quarter!
The events committee have been looking at event possibilities for the Cultural Quarter.
Originally there was a suggestion that the King Street Festival should be started again. Whether that is wanted by the community will become clear over time, but there is definitely support for community events.
Events will only happen with good support, so if you can help please volunteer to be on the committee or to help out at events. Email: email@example.com
The King Street Cultural Quarter will only be as good as the people involved.
At the moment there is the main committee, which has gained the name of the Executive Committee, but this seems a little formal. Suggestions of a less formal name would be great.
There is also a sub committee which is concentrating on the Events, including some form of street celebration.
There have been suggestions of a residents association, which seems sensible. They could then discuss specific residents issues and report back to the main committee with recommendations and potential projects.
It's clear that none of the committees will succeed without committed members and a strong chair. We still need a chair for the events committee and if the residents committee is to go ahead then we need a chair for that too. Volunteers please contact:
The King Street Cultural Quarter won't work without business support. So we'd like to list all the organisations in the Cultural Quarter on the website: www.kingst.co.uk
If you'd like your organisation listed, please fill out the membership form on the website: www.kingst.co.uk/membership/
We'll then email you and request a logo, a couple photos and some blurb about your business, so we can get you listed on the website.
While the Cultural Quarter is developing this will be Free, so get in early!
Businesses would be very welcome on committees, so please do get involved – The Events committee and Executive definitely would like your input!
Any suggestions of places we can find funding?
The immediate need is to pay for some regular secretarial work to hold together the Cultural Quarter.
There will be funding needed for events and the projects that the members want to see happening.

With the help of the Norwich City Council Arboricultural officer and others, efforts are currently underway to plant some much needed trees along King Street.
Hopefully this will be funded through a King Street Cultural Quarter application for a Defra-funded grant under their Big Tree Plant initiative.
Once agreement has been reached within the Council, it is hoped that the application can be submitted in March 2012 with a view to planting the trees later in the year.
The team at Dragon Hall thought members of the King Street Cultural Quarter would enjoy a free tour of Dragon Hall.
The tour takes place on
To take part you will need to have filled out the membership form on the website www.kingst.co.uk and booked onto the tour by telephoning 01603 663922.
There will no doubt be many other tours and events to bring together the members of the King Street Cultural Quarter, so watch the website and these updates for more information.

The CEO Challenge: Top Marketplace and Management Issues 2001
- Authors:
Publication Date:
January 2001
When asked to rank their top marketplace challenges for 2001, chief executives chose changes in the type and level of competition, the impact of the internet, and industry consolidation. The closeness of the results for these three categories reveals how closely intertwined they are in the minds of the survey participants. There are, however, major regional differences. Respondents from North America rank shortage of key skills as their top concern, while executives in Europe select the impact of the internet. In Asia-Pacific, CEOs consider changes in the type and level of competition the number one challenge by an overwhelming margin.

This is the highest peak of Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. Here you can see the island is mostly surrounded by a lagoon and reef. There are some antennas at the highest point and a little shack for the power system. If you look toward the ground to the east you will see a concrete slab with the names of a local club. Also visible is part of the airport runway, and the location of the Aitutaki resort just south of the airport. Beautiful place!
Forever has always existed.In the mythology of Oceanic peoples, it's been there along with Darkness and the Sea.The Earth came from the efforts of Old Spider, who soared over the endless sea and found a giant clam. She opened it and crawled inside, finding a snail there to share the space with her. She set the snail in the west and made it into the Moon to shed some light into the darkness. Together they raised up the top of the clam shell to make the sky, pushing it until it was wide open.Then they pushed the bottom half of the clam shell in the other direction to make the ground. The earth was called Papa and the sky Ranga. These are the two first beings who created all the flowers, plants, trees and animals on the islands, and fish in the sea.They celebrated all their open space by making as many beautiful creatures as they could imagine, but they still remained separated by the work of the original Old Spider. Each night, Ranga weeps for his beloved Papa earth, and this is where the morning dew comes from.Polynesia means "many islands" and when you see these pictures, you will want to visit all of them. To make it simple, the islands sit in a triangle described by connecting Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island.There are over a thousand of these islands of surfer's paradise in the central and south Pacific Ocean. It's stunning. Look at the color of the water here! And the sunset... these speak for themselves. Could you be happy in this little house? How about some reef diving inside a lagoon?Put this one in full screen and don't come back. Love, 360.Text by Steve Smith.

Description: Sashimi Hocho are used for slicing the raw fish (Sashimi) traditionally served by the Japanese. Also suitable for fine slicing of other meats. Both the handle and the blade are created specifically for left-handed use. The knife is accompanied by a saya made specifically to the blade for a perfect fit. This ho wood sheath protects the blade for chefs on the go or while in the drawer.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Consequently, these knives can be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The professional level blade is forged using the Hon Kasumi technique -- a forging process which creates the misty appearance at the lamination line between the two kinds of metal. These blades are hand forged from a combination of hard Aogami Hagane 'blue steel' forge-welded to a piece of Jigane mild steel. The most exacting standards as well as considerable time are required for this type of forge work. After forging, each blade is individually tempered to Rockwell 61-63 (very hard!) leaving a razor edge that is very easy to keep sharp.

Type inference for APDT
The Aspect PHP Development Tools (APDT) project provides Eclipse platform based tool support for AOSD with PHPAspect. Our goal is to deliver a user experience that is consistent with the PHP Development Tools (PDT) when working with PHPAspect projects and resources. This plugin provides an integration layer between the PHPAspect weaver, runtime and Eclipse/PDT extension points.
Due to the highly dynamic nature of PHP, most of PHPAspect joinpoints can't be determined statically: PHPAspect weaves hooks in the source code in order to perform type checking at runtime. When a project is woven, a significant amount of hooks can be inserted in the source even though it be can statically analyzed that none of these hooks will trigger a code-advice: this is where type inference comes in.
APDT and PDT have both an integration layer with DLTK which as an experimental type inference framework used to improve code analysis on dynamic languages.
The type inference could be also used to improve APDT UI by providing aspect type information in the editor.

The size is 30.5cm X 17cm X 4 cm or 12X 7.75X 1.5 inch Total of 711 LEDs **Grow Light**
The RED LED Grow Light is convenient to use. You can twist it into any normal socket to replace any incandescent or halogen light bulbs. The LED light bulbs have a super long life that last for 100,000 hours. That would be more than 12 years of continuous operation. Since LED is in a solid state (no filament) it is almost indestructible (not if you intended to destroy it). LEDs are about 10 times the efficiency of a typical flashlight bulb, so you get more light and you can cut down your electric bill at the same time.
Why LEDs?
High Efficiency
The wavelengths of some LED are compatible with the absorption peak of the pigments involved in photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis. Only necessary light for those physiological functions can be irradiated.
Low Thermal Irradiation
LED in the visible light area contain little heat rays, allowing for short-distance irradiation.
Reduced Energy Consumption and Long Life
LED substantially reduce power consumption. Depending on the operating environment, an LED can provide thousands of hours of light.
Life Of LED
Since an LED emits light through a semiconductor device, its life is many times longer than that of other light sources (however, it can be affected by the operating environment).
Spectral Distribution Comparison
LED is developed to emit a specific color efficiently by adjusting the materials used in the semiconductor compounds. The wavelength of an LED is relatively fixed, but not as much as that of a laser beam. Another distinction, LED in the visible range contain little heat rays. Therefore, they radiate almost no heat in the direction of emission. Below are comparison of LED and other lamps' spectral Distribution:
lighting energy is used in an important photoreaction, the synthesis of carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds. The pigments called chlorophyll play a role in this reaction by absorbing light.
110V-130V AC 711pcs LED Panel Grow Light 30W=450W

Red LEDs are rated at 5000mcd
Super bright LEDs in series and parallel configuration

Good morning.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Bucknell University, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our 162nd Commencement.
And I want to extend a special welcome to our Commencement speaker, Ms. Quindlen.
My greetings are addressed to each constituency celebrating here today.
First, to the faculty, administration and staff — thank you.
Thank you for taking the inquisitive minds that arrived on this campus, many in the fall of 2008, and helping to mold them into those of young scholars. Bucknell's mission statement includes the objective to "educate men and women for a lifetime of critical thinking." You have accomplished this goal while they have been here.
Thank you also for the countless hours that you spent with these graduates responding to their questions, listening to their trepidations and inspiring their dreams.
Finally, thank you for nurturing the growth of a group of teenagers into a class of young women and men who have developed a strong affiliation with this University.
To the parents, family and friends of the graduates — revel.
Revel in this ceremony and the culmination of your efforts over the past 20-plus years to guide the development and growth of these young adults.
As a parent of one of today's graduates, I share the excitement, the pride and, yes, nostaglia that you are feeling, knowing that this stage of their lives has come to a conclusion.
Revel also in the knowledge that these graduates are prepared for the complex world that awaits them. They have matured and grown significantly while at Bucknell. Although they will always be only a text message away, they are ready to be on their own.
And to the graduates of the Class of 2012 — aspire.
Aspire to take your Bucknell education into the wider world to make a difference in whatever vocation or avocation you choose.
Since I was accepted to Bucknell off the wait list, I was especially grateful to attend this University. And I would often come to this very spot above Freas Hall, look out into the rolling hills and promise to "do good" with my education. I encourage each of you to reflect on how you will fully capitalize on the degree that you are about to receive to "do good."
Aspire also to maintain the many friendships that you have developed here and to keep these connections strong over the years ahead. Your Bucknell relationships will always be a great source of comfort and support.
Finally, aspire to use your time, talents and treasures to give back— to give back to this University and to your wider communities. You are among the most fortunate and you will play a critical role in helping others.
On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I extend congratulations for all of your successes and your best wishes as you go forth. Congratulations.
It is now my pleasure to introduce the 17th president of Bucknell University, Dr. John Bravman.

Great buckets for everthing, good quality. I use to bring water to small flock of chickens or to store smaller quantities of treats for them.
Bruce / Donna F from Maine
Would recommend to anyone who has sheep. It is very adaptable to any situation and should be part of everyones lambing kit
Robert P
We use this bucket and teat attachments to feed orphan goat kids. Very sturdy. Endures a lot of head "butting." We bottle feed our youngest kids, but when they're older, we turn them out with the herd. This sure beats bottle feeding them when they're older.

After months of arguments and deliberations, the Town of Smyrna has a budget for the fiscal year 2012. Following an evening full of debates,
After months of arguments and deliberations, the Town of Smyrna has a budget for the fiscal year 2012. Following an evening full of debates, Town Council voted 4-3 Monday in favor of approving the $22 million budget, which includes a 14.8 percent tax increase.
The property tax increase of 3.74-cents per $100 of assessed value puts the tax rate at 29 cents, up from 25.26 cents and ties Smyrna with Seaford for lowest tax rate among full service towns in Delaware.
Town Council met last week in a special meeting to discuss the budget but decided to postpone moving forward until they received the results of the arbitrator's report. Town Manager Dave Hugg announced the arbitrator voted in favor of the town, therefore, the proposed budget wasn't affected. If the arbitrator had voted in favor of the employees, Town Council could've faced significant cuts to the budget.
Yet, the approval of the budget didn't come without heated discussions over the possibility of a tax increase and at one point put Town Council in a deadlock causing Mayor Pat Stombaugh to say the town would have to cut another $380,000 from the budget if they couldn't come to terms on a balanced budget featuring a tax increase.
Councilman Jeff Flairty wasn't in attendance at the meeting but called in to participate in the meeting. Councilwoman Valerie White also had to join Flairty in the conference call until she was able to get to Town Hall for the meeting.
Could we use the rainy day fund?
At the special meeting, Councilwoman Regina Brown suggested the town borrow from the rainy day fund so council wouldn't have to raise taxes. "You have two choices – borrow from the rainy day fund or raise taxes," Brown said.
This suggestion didn't sit well with Councilman Anthony DeFeo and was eventually advised against by manager of accounting/business services Gary Stulir.
DeFeo said he was against the idea in case the town was actually hit by a disaster, citing Hurricane Irene and how the storm was originally predicted to cause major damage to the town.
"If Hurricane Irene had stayed on its proposed track, we wouldn't be discussing this now," DeFeo said.
Town Council would've had to amend the ordinance regarding the rainy day fund in order to borrow money but the motion was voted down 5-2.
Debating the budget
After originally voting down the proposed budget as is, which included a 3.74-cent tax increase, a few changes were made resulting in an approved budget with the suggested tax increase.
The tax increase pays for salary increases, however, the budget also had to pay for inflation.
It wasn't just a proposed tax increase that garnered debate but also what to include in the budget.
Eventually two items were cut from the budget – a new police car and equipment for in-house grass cutting – in order to add items into the budget. With the approval of the budget, council approved $45,000 to go towards part-time staff in town hall and the library. The staff at the library will allow for more hours. The council also approved $10,000 for park restoration and decided to move money from a line item for police interns back to be used for lifeguards at Lake Como.
Following the meeting, Mayor Stombaugh said she wasn't happy with the approval of the budget as she felt some council members pushed for their personal interests.
"I'm just very disappointed with council," she said.

POUGHKEEPSIE — Canadian utility company Fortis, which is acquiring Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp., agreed to provide an additional $30 million in customer benefits after three months of bargaining with the state.
POUGHKEEPSIE — Canadian utility company Fortis, which is acquiring Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp., agreed to provide an additional $30 million in customer benefits after three months of bargaining with the state.
Altogether, Central Hudson ratepayers will receive about $50 million in financial benefits, according to a settlement the company filed with the state Public Service Commission. Customers originally were slated to receive $20 million, but the commission said the figure should be closer to $95 million in a critique of the deal.
The date the acquisition is expected to close also has been extended. It was expected to be finalized before March 31, but that date has been pushed back to June 30. The commission still must OK the deal.
The settlement calls for all Central Hudson employees to stay on board at the company for two years. Central Hudson also will continue to have independent financial audits.
Much of the additional financial benefits come from Fortis agreeing to write off $22 million in expenses from the late fall snowstorm of 2011, Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Irene, which customers otherwise would have had to cover.
Fortis also is putting aside an additional $13 million that can go toward system improvements, deferring rate increases or other storm costs, said Central Hudson spokesman John Maserjian.
Some parts of the original customer benefit proposal are unchanged in the new settlement.
The settlement keeps in place a rate freeze that lasts until 2014 and is valued as a $17 million benefit to customers.
Central Hudson could have applied for rate increases that would have taken effect this summer.
Central Hudson still plans to set up a $5 million fund for economic development and low-income assistance programs.
The utility company also must meet twice per year with representatives from the counties in its service territory to discuss economic development and potential program improvements.
The settlement also increases sanctions Central Hudson will have to pay if it doesn't meet service standards, like responding to a gas odor complaint within a certain time period.

Theophany at the Saint Nicholas church in Zemun
His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch, served yesterday, on the feast of Theophany, the Divine Liturgy at the Saint Nicholas church in Zemun.
The Patriarch was concelebrated by the clergy of the Archbishopric of Belgrade-Karlovac with the choir of this church singing responses. Historians of Zemun noted that the Theophany procession was held from 18 century until the beginning of the Second World War, after which it was held in 1945 and 19946. The procession was restored in 1998 and since then it has been continued until today.
Lots of believers, among which there was president of the Municipality of Zemun with associates, as well as representatives of the Serbian Armed Forces and the police, attended the prayerful gathering. After the blessing of the Theophany waters Patriarch Irinej went with the people in the procession until the Zemun's quay where he blessed competitors who swam for the Precious Cross in the Danube.
During the Holy Liturgy, Serbian Patriarch Irinej presented the Order of Saint Sava of the Second Degree to Mr. Branislav Prostran, Director of Jugoimport, and Mr. Damir Kovacevic, the Vice President of the Assembly of the Municipality of Zemun, for their specific and comprehensive devotion and love for the Holy Mother Church, especially shown in the restoration and building new churches and other buildings in the municipality of Zemun.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Closing arguments are expected Monday in the trial of a man accused in the fatal shooting of Eastern Michigan University football player Demarius Reed.
Twenty-one-year-old Ed Thomas of Detroit faces open murder and robbery charges in the Oct. 18 death of the 20-year-old from Chicago's South Side.
Kristopher Pratt last week pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. The 20-year-old from Detroit admits he shot Reed in the body and head.
Pratt testified Thursday that he and Thomas followed Reed. Pratt says Thomas took Reed's iPhone and wallet before the shooting.
Lorne Brown, a lawyer representing Thomas, earlier told jurors that Pratt's testimony was ''bought and paid for.''
Carl Reed told The Ann Arbor News (http://bit.ly/1nAMi37 ) Thursday that the jury has enough information ''to make the right decision'' about his son's slaying.

Ukrainian-born Vera Andrushkiw, a retired University of Michigan and Wayne State University professor, helped pioneer free-market economics education in her homeland following its 1994 independence after the communist Soviet Union splintered.
Today, the Troy resident fears her work could be undone by whatever follows Russia's prospective annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.
Andrushkiw, whose family escaped Nazi worker camps during Germany's invasion of the USSR in World War II, emigrated to the U.S. in 1949.
She helped launch a business internship program between Wayne State and the Lviv Institute of Management in the Ukraine. The program, which ran from 1994 to 2000, brought 189 students to Detroit from the Ukraine to learn Western business practices.
"The first group came three weeks after Ukraine declared its independence," she said. "This was a very dramatic time for this type of program; we had these students learning about market economics and the capitalist system."
Wayne State business professors also taught at Lviv.
The program shaped Lviv's business curriculum, said Andrushkiw, who is vice president of foreign relations of the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.
"This was a boost in the arm and a real beginning for the Lviv Institute," she said. "They made courses very similar to the ones at Wayne State."
Now Andrushkiw worries for Ukraine's fate amid Russia's actions and whatever may come next.
She's spent the last week giving media interviews.
"The Ukrainian people, this in the demonstrations, have had enough of the corruption and have said they want to live under European values, which is a statement for democratic values and human dignity," she said. "This demonstration has been ongoing for three months, but now only the last week and half has the media been involved. There has to be violence before people pay attention, and I'm very concerned."

Malaysia Flight 370: Searchers race to try to trace sounds detected in ocean
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Search teams are racing to figure out if a number of underwater sounds detected in the southern Indian Ocean came from a flight recorder from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Time is against them, as the batteries powering the missing plane's devices that send out pings are expected to expire in the coming days.
The desperate efforts to trace the signals came as new details emerged about the missing plane's likely path on the night it vanished.
A senior Malaysian government source told CNN that Flight 370 flew around Indonesian airspace after it dropped off Malaysian military radar. The plane may have been intentionally taken along a route designed to avoid radar detection, the source said.
In the search for the plane in the Indian Ocean, the Chinese patrol ship Haixun 01 picked up two signals, one on Friday and another on Saturday, that were only 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) apart, authorities said.
"This is an important and encouraging lead, but one that I urge you to continue to treat carefully," Angus Houston, the head of the Australian agency coordinating search operations, said Sunday.
The electronic pulses were consistent with those emitted by pingers on an aircraft's flight data and voice recorders, he said, but haven't been verified as coming from Flight 370.
Sounds travel long distances underwater, he said, making it difficult to ascertain their sources. If detectors were near a pinger, they would pick up the signal for a more sustained period.
Houston also said that search authorities were informed Sunday that the Ocean Shield, an Australian naval vessel equipped with sophisticated listening equipment, has detected "an acoustic noise" in another area of the ocean.
The signals are the latest leads in a huge, multinational hunt for Flight 370, which disappeared almost a month ago over Southeast Asia with 239 people on board. Investigators have so far been unable to say why the plane flew far off course or where it ended up.
'Most promising lead'
HMS Echo, a British navy ship equipped with advanced detection gear, is on its way to the area where the Chinese ship picked up the signals, Houston said. It is likely to arrive in the early hours of Monday morning. Australian planes are also headed to the area.
The Ocean Shield, which has a high-tech pinger locator borrowed from the U.S. Navy, will continue to pursue the sound it heard. If that lead turns cold, it will move to the other detection area, a journey that will take at least a day, officials said.
Caution urged
Several analysts on CNN said the information from search officials gave cause for optimism.
"We've got to be a little careful about groupthink here, but right now the evidence seems to point towards the Chinese vessel's location," said Alan Diehl, a former accident investigator for the U.S. Air Force.
What's more, a number of white objects were spotted floating on the surface of the water about 90 kilometers (55 miles) from where the sounds were detected, authorities said.
But Houston warned that the latest discoveries could turn out to have no connection to the missing plane.
"In the days, weeks and possibly months ahead, there may be leads such as the one I'm reporting to you this morning on a regular basis," Houston said.
"I assure that we will follow up and exhaust every credible lead that we receive," he said.
The Chinese vessel detected the second signal for a total of 90 seconds on Saturday, according to authorities.
"It's not a continuous transmission," Houston said. "If you get close to the device, we should be receiving it for a longer period of time."
Plane said to have flown around Indonesia
Authorities say Flight 370 ended up flying south over the Indian Ocean after it dropped off military radar off the west coast of peninsular Malaysia on March 8. The conclusion is based on an expert analysis of satellite, radar and other available data.
More detail has been added to the flight path calculated by investigators, a senior Malaysian government source told CNN on Sunday.
After reviewing radar track data from neighboring countries, officials have concluded that the passenger jet curved north of Indonesia before turning south toward the southern Indian Ocean. Its path took it around Indonesian airspace.
Malaysian government officials have said previously that the plane appeared to have been deliberately diverted from its original course, which would have taken it north to Beijing.
"What's also interesting about this route … is it appears it goes to the designated waypoints that we (pilots) use (and air traffic control uses to give directions)," said CNN aviation analyst Miles O'Brien. "This particular route that is laid out happens to coincide with some of these named intersections. So what it shows is an experienced pilot somewhere in the mix on this."
O'Brien said that an experienced pilot who had flown in the region would know where radar coverage begins and ends and where radio communication handoffs occur.
He said he was not pointing to any particular individual, as there are several possible scenarios on what may have happened in the cockpit, including a hijacking by someone who knew how to fly a commercial jet.
Investigators haven't yet said who they think might have flown the plane off course or why. They also haven't ruled out mechanical problems as a possible cause of the plane's diversion.
Time running out
So far, no physical evidence of the plane's eventual whereabouts has been found, leaving many relatives of those on board trapped in uncertainty.
Weeks of searching — initially in the seas around Malaysia and Vietnam, where the plane lost contact with air traffic control, and then in the remote southern Indian Ocean — have turned up no traces.
A series of objects spotted in the ocean by satellites and flight crews have turned out to be bits of fishing gear or other things unrelated to Flight 370.
At the end of last week, the search expanded under the waves, as well. The batteries for the missing plane's pingers are expected to last around 30 days — a deadline that falls on Monday.
"We're running out of time in terms of the battery life," Houston said, noting that sometimes the batteries last for an additional eight to 10 days.

Financial planning is a year-round activity, but now is an ideal time to review your pension arrangements before the tax year-end deadline of 5 April.
Due to greater simplicity, choice and flexibility, pensions are an even more attractive choice for retirement savers than ever before. Moreover, the government rewards you for saving into a pension by giving you extra money in the form of tax relief.
Subject to certain limits, for every 80p you pay into a personal pension, the government adds 20p. However, higher rate taxpayers can claim extra tax relief through their annual tax return, meaning that a £1 contribution can effectively cost them just 60p.
There is a limit on the amount you can contribute to your pensions each tax year while receiving tax relief. This is based on your earnings and is capped at £40,000, although a lower limit may apply in certain circumstances.
However, provided the maximum contribution is paid by 5 April, you can go back and pay a contribution for any unused annual allowance you had in the previous three tax years. Substantial sums that qualify for tax relief can therefore be invested immediately without incurring a punitive tax charge for exceeding the annual allowance.
This year is the final chance for pension savers to use the allowance that was in place in 2014/15. If it is not used by 5 April 2018, it will be lost forever. To qualify, you must have held a pension in each of the years from which you carry forward, and you must earn at least the amount you wish to contribute in total this tax year.
It's also possible to pay up to £2,880 each tax year into a pension for a non-earning spouse, or child; that sum will be automatically increased to £3,600 through basic rate tax relief. This tax-saving opportunity is lost if it hasn't been used by 5 April.
Remember also that pension contributions help you to bring your taxable income to below certain thresholds. This means that you may be able to control tax to some extent and how much of your income is subject to the higher and additional tax rates.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.

OMSK, Russia, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- The director of a Polish circus said two elephants stranded in the Russian cold when a truck caught fire are back and rehearsing for their next show.
The Asian elephants, ages 45 and 48, were stranded at the side of a Siberian highway while traveling from Novokuznetsk to Omsk when the diesel engine heating the cargo section of the truck carrying the elephants caused some hay in the vehicle to catch fire, RIA Novosti reported Monday.
The elephants, which were made to jog at the side of the road to keep from freezing and were later given vodka in a heated garage, suffered minor frostbite to their ears in the minus 40 degree weather. Minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit equals minus 40 degrees Celsius.
The animals have now rejoined the circus in Omsk and are preparing for their next show.
"The elephants have arrived and started rehearsing. Their first performance is scheduled for Dec. 22," circus director Yelena Agafonova said.
