Sometimes it pays off not to know too much. That was the case Sunday, although I was sprayed for my over confidence and could have left my 96-year-old father and Marge, his companion, in an untenable situation.
Marge told me the plastic knob to the hot water faucet on the guest bathtub snapped off a couple of weeks ago. I promised Marge, who is 89, that I would see what I could do when I visited.
"Nelson," who mows the lawn and closes the house for the winter, "took a look at it. He didn't think there was anything we could do."
Such a challenge didn't go unnoticed and had me wondering if she knew what she was doing. I suspect that was the case now, although at the time I was more intrigued with the possibility of fixing something that even a plumber had written off. Apart from knowing his yard machines and being skilled with a chain saw, Nelson also could get cranky oil burners to work and pull apart radiators that leaked and left stains on hardwood floors. If he believed the faucet was a goner, then who was I to question?
The faucet was the last thing on my mind during my all too quick weekend visit. We sat around the kitchen table, watched a couple of movies and invited friends over for drinks and mini egg rolls Marge heated in the toaster oven. With the chill of autumn fresh in the air and the oil burner being cranky again, I lit a fire in the living room fireplace. It made a cozy atmosphere for conversation long after the sunset.
By the following morning, everything was burnt and only the charred end of a split log lay in a bed of white ashes, looking like a black witch's cap. There were no glowing embers. The fireplace was cold.
Before heading back to Rhode Island, I wanted to set up another fire that would need only the strike of a match to start. I made a trip to the cellar and returned with the wood to discover Marge had set out Saran-wrapped pieces of apple and pecan pie to bring home, if they made it that far. With the fire set, I gathered up my stuff, heading for the back door.
Then Marge reminded me of the faucet.
How difficult could this be, I thought. Surely the faucet had been logically designed and this couldn't be the first time a stem had snapped. Fortunately, the faucet had broken in the "off" position. The knurled plastic handle sat in the corner, between the tub and the tiled wall of the enclosure. A silver cylinder, with a ribbed end, extended from the wall, designed to be grasped with pliers.
Just as I thought, someone foresaw such a problem. All I need to do is unscrew the cylinder and remove the plastic shaft. Then, when I returned in a couple of weeks, I would have the replacement and put everything back together.
The cylinder came off, leaving a gaping hole in the tub wall. I was gratified by what I found. Just as I thought, there was a plastic shaft and it had snapped.
I pocketed the shaft and the knob and headed out of the bathroom. Then I heard a pop that was followed by a jet of hot water. Without the cylinder to hold everything in place, the water pressure shot the valve out. The water sprayed the opposite wall of the tub enclosure and then cascaded into the tub and down the drain in a remarkable display of force.
The second realization that I didn't know what I was doing came when I tried to shut down the geyser. I removed a wall panel to find the pipes but there were no shutoff valves there. A trip to the cellar was no more helpful. There were rows of pipes running the length of the house like railroad tracks. There were intercepting pipes wrapped in insulation that protruded brass valves. Some had black handles. Others were red. I was looking at both the heating and water systems.
Marge called down from the kitchen.
"Shall I call Nelson?"
Fortunately, Nelson isn't all that far away.
"I can't shut it off completely," he said, grasping the wheel of a valve that looked like it had come off a submarine. He cranked it and, slowly, the gushing subsided. The draining of the bathtub stopped.
I reassembled the tub valve, a trickle coming from the tub faucet. Nelson cranked the water back on. Everything was holding. Nelson left and I was ready to follow when his truck pulled back into the drive.
"I was thinking, maybe that piece you took out needs to be there for it not to leak."
I was wondering the same thing. With my confidence already tested, I didn't give it a second thought.
"Let's be sure," I said.
He went to the cellar to shut off the water. I went upstairs with the pliers.
I stood in the tub and unscrewed the cylinder. It came off easily but as soon as it did, the remaining pressure shot water out the valve. I took a good dose of water and humility.
Had I learned anything?
Well, yes.
Would it stop me from stepping beyond my knowledge again? Certainly not; that would be no fun at all.

Liberty wins sixth straight Big South men's track title
The Liberty men's track team collected its sixth consecutive team title at the 2012 Big South Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Coastal Carolina University near Myrtle Beach, S.C, this past weekend. The Lady Flames placed second.
The men's victories were highlighted by three individual events on the meet's final day, including a 1-2-3-4 sweep of the pole vault. The Flames scored a perfect 29 points in the event for the first time since 2000.
Liberty also fashioned an impressive 1-2-4 finish in the men's discus.
The Flames' final victory of the day came in the men's 400-meter dash, where freshman Leonard Robbins won in 47.37 seconds. Robbins, who also claimed the Big South indoor 400-meter crown in February, became Liberty's first outdoor men's 400-meter champion since Chad Wilson in 2002. Additionally, his time was the fastest by a Liberty Flame in the 400 since 2005.
The Lady Flames' second-place standing included wins by Jennifer Klugh in the women's 1,500 and 5K finals.

Post subject: archlinux discussion
fascinating thread. person makes a remarkable, and thoughtful, suggestion about a possible future for Puppy. In fact, I believe it should be required reading for any developer involved. Thread wanders around from useful, to old venom, to perceived insult... is almost derailed, yet stays on the tracks and all the input remains worth reading. The forum in a nutshell.
I think that somewhere between the visions of mikeslr and amigo lies a successful long-term future of puppy. Should Puppy exist as a reflection of the larger world of linux distributions, or maintain a separate repository? Or can both ideas be merged into a third more resilient base from which Puppy can move forward?
For me as a user, and that's all I am, the worrying thing is simply what will puppy 5.5 or 6.0 be, and will it be able to speak, in any real way, to the data (or the savefile) I have in 5.2. Should I be betting, right now, on spup, or upup, or dpup? What dog should I have in the fight? Is there really a fight?
You were lucky, mikeslr, to pull playdayz into the thread. From my reading of the forum, he seems to have the best handle on woof of any person outside BK, and I think he may have the best mental roadmap of a future for Puppy along the lines you mention. Whether he has the time, or the inclination, to suffer the slings and arrow required to realize that path is another matter entirely.
ADDED: Arch is quite interesting. At first glance, as a poster mentioned, their wiki and website are full of information and...well...quite focused. Arch lays out, right up front, both what it is, and more importantly, what it is not. It seems that Arch is lead by a team leader, assisted by a team. They know what Arch will look like in a month, and in five years. Regarding package management, one developer on the team, had this to say "... I run ArchLinux since 0.4 and since then i never had to reinstall the OS on this laptop. Besides no need to reinstall it, i have always the latest versions of software i need." taken from here:
All that said, I remain a Puppy lover. It is an remarkable and singular achievement. It is elastic and useful. Like all acolytes, I have moments of doubt. For example, just this week, I see two other efforts on this forum to create new, additional wikis about Puppy rather than working on the existing effort. Just another example of enlightened design-by-chaos? Or an indicator that Puppy, like Bilbo, sometimes becomes like butter, spread over too much bread?
ADDED: as always, simply my worthless dos centavos. I thank everyone on the thread for some great food for thought.

Post subject: New Version of ArchLive for Devs to Consider
Subject description: CTKArchLive 0.7
Hi all,
Rest assured that I remain a loyal Puppy devotee. But from time to time I wonder what others are doing.
IMHO, it seems Ubuntu has somehow fallen under a spell, repeating to itself "bloat is good, bloat is good" until it was believed. Which raises the question "If woof is to be of value, woof what?"
There, of course, remains debian which many, myself included, believed was the best distro for Puppy commensalism. But, as I still like Arch Linux's ability to perform a live upgrade of both its core (operating system) and applications, I just checked.
Seems someone named Calimero has developed a new live version. The thread begins @
, with more documentation @
Perhaps someone who understands both woof and Linux in general will find it useful.

Post subject: Apologies -- should have re-read thread before posting
Hi Again,
I got to mulling around, found link on an Archlinux blog back to this thread and decided to re-read it. Something I should have done before posting. But maybe not.
In re-reading, this time I took notice of Jemimah's mention of Amigo's src2pkg, and Amigo's post @
. src2pkg --hadn't realized it existed, probably because I've never tried to compile anything.
But what a great idea. And I'll add that I think Amigo has presented a strong argument why Puppy should not be concentrating on retro-fitting other distros' apps.
Unless I've misunderstood, what src2pkg does --or facilities-- is the creating of a package from source via scripts; sometimes no "human intervention" is needed, but frequently the "script" will provide a modifiable framework that makes package creation easier than starting "from scratch."
Part of the idea behind Woof was to lessen the need for storage and bandwidth. Surely, a script applicable to the source maintained elsewhere requires less of both than the finished app. And I've seen, fairly frequently, where someone engaged in compiling has asked for assistance.
So, how about a repository of scripts? And a forum thread to discuss what modifications to each may be necessary when something fundamental, like a new kernel, requires changes. On second thought, a repository may not always be necessary, as the script could be attached as a compressed file to a post.
If the foregoing makes any sense, perhaps someone who understands compiling might suggest it to the appropriate forum moderators.
p.s., will someone please email me instructions regarding how to link to a post rather than just the webpage of the thread its on. ('

Cool that you did test CTK ARch. I wish I knew how to boot that one in frugal install on NTFS. Maybe it need to be on a USB. But what grub2 bootcode does it need?
Sorry for derailing your thread. Arch seems tempting but as always. Puppy devs are in it for the fun of it so if they have not make an Arch version yet then something with arch are not enough fun for them.

Arch has a huge loyal fan base to defend them.
I don't expect that Puppy will be on the top for long. It is too different.
I think we all should be happy over that we are so high up. Compare to other os with small iso like Slitaz and TinyCore. Them are way lower and them are no bad linux set ups at all.

Subject description: Woof and Arch
Sorry to be so late to the party, and I think I might be one of the forum members mentioned in the first post working on a Woof-Arch build. Short story: I decided to drop the effort. To answer one of the questions, I don't believe Arch is a good canidate for a Woof build. What I was finding is that the Woof scripts required a lot of modification to accomodate Arch, mainly because Arch changed the compression scheme for their packages after Woof was written. There were also a couple of other structural items in the format of the repository database files that required modification of the Woof scripts. I think I had gotten around those problems however (or at least the ones I'd found).
Barry of course keeps updating Woof, which then required me to continually merge my changes in the scripts into his updated scripts. The other thing I found is that some package names changed from what they were originally called. Last reason I dropped it is that I really don't know BASH all that well and it was very slow going through all of the scripts and support files trying to find and fix problems.
For those reasons I decided to actually install Arch on my computer, and I found I really love it. Whoever said "learing curve" was correct, but once you are there it is a great system.
One thing I'd like to add to the first post is the comment about upgrading Arch. The simple pacman command given will indeed update all installed packages on your system. Sometimes however that is not the end of the story. Some upgrades will install new config files which then have to be merged into your existing files, and this step has to be done manually, file by file. Once you know how it is not difficult, but I'm not sure it could be automated.
Anyway I've now moved over to trying and create an Arch system that can boot from USB and save and load user files like a Puppy. If I actually get anywhere (don't anyone hold your breath) I'll post the results here.
Best to everyone..

What do you mean, "once you know how"? Is there somewhere that tells you "how"? Does it somehow avoid overwriting the old config files, so you actually still have them to merge with the new ones?

For example, if you already have the configuration file /etc/someconfig.conf, and the package wants to install a new one, the new one will be installed as /etc/someconfig.conf.pacnew. It will then tell you that it was installed as such. It is up to you to compare them and figure out what you want to do about it.
It's usually pretty easy to deal with. The new config files will usually just have a new option or a renamed option or trivial stuff like that. So the process is normally to just update your copy accordingly, or else add your desired settings to the new (vanilla) version and move it over the old one.
I like to use "vimdiff" for that, personally.

I guess them are into grub2? What about making that Arch thing of yours
truly Puppy like in that it can boot on NTFS internal HDD in frugal install
using grub4dos? That would be cool!
Even TinyCore can do that now so why not Arch.

Your question touches on something I've been pondering: what is it that makes Puppy a Puppy, or for that matter what makes any distro what it is. In my own mind I've come to the conslusion that it really boils down to the startup scripts, and to a lesser extent the shutdown scripts. Seems to me everything in between can be found in some form or another in any distribution.
If it is the startup and shutdown scripts that define a distro then I doubt what I'm working on will be a true Puppy. I'm planning to use as much of the Arch stuff as possible since the kernel, xorg, scripts and all the other things come from their repos and are built to operate together. My Woof attempts with the kernel from Lucid, packages from Arch, and a few PETs from T2 were, not surprisingly, a disaster in that nothing wanted to play with anything else.
A frual install is something I would work towards (mainly because I'd use it), but it will be down the road a bit. I don't think that where I'm trying to go will be a true Puppy, more like a FrankenPup.
Pizzasgood - thanks for answering that question for me. I use Meld for the diffs, probably very similar to vimdiff I expect.

Linton and Gina Hopkins: Marriage and Family is the Main Course
Generally speaking, the relationship between the front of the house of a restaurant and the kitchen isn't always a love fest. Chefs yell at servers to pick up food, servers yell at cooks to hurry up or bring criticism from customers. But the passion that fuels these fights also spurred something different between Chef Linton and Gina Hopkins, owners of Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta, Georgia. The two met at Washington's DC Coast Restaurant. Gina is a sommelier who has built a career in her own right. Linton had started out Pre-med at Emory University with a major in anthropology but was drawn to the kitchen by his love of food and memories of being in the kitchen with his grandfather, Eugene. He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and followed a culinary path through some of the most prestigious restaurants in New Orleans before ending up in Washington, DC and discovering a new dream – to own a restaurant in Atlanta with Gina. The two opened Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta and have just opened Holman and Fitch Public House.
Gina and Linton balance the business endeavors with raising their two children and being extremely active in their community. Hopkins has joined forces with 11 other parents to participate on the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) Local School Wellness Council. Through his involvement, he has done everything from attending meetings and workshops to bringing locally contributed produce to schools to educate children about different types of fresh fruits and vegetables. Gina complements this work as a member of the Atlanta Chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier. The organization's Green Table Initiative is designed to inform children about how food gets from the farm to their table, a concept close to her and Hopkins' heart, especially considering the relationships they have with local growers. "That food comes from somewhere; it comes from someone in a sustainable way, and we need to teach that to our children. That's a big part of what we're trying to do," Hopkins noted.
In addition to other food-centric associations, such as the Slow Food Movement and the Southern Foodways Alliance, Hopkins devotes time to working with the March of Dimes and cancer research organizations. After surviving Hodgkin's disease at the age of 29, Hopkins is grateful to be able to use his notoriety in the food industry to bring awareness to such a wide array of important causes. Linton told North Points Magazine, "We believe in charitable works, and as a business, you're really able to be much more of a champion for these causes, more so than as a private citizen," he commented. "It makes you much more effective because people will listen to you. It's been one of those great added benefits."
The honors are another added benefit. Restaurant Eugene won the Wine Spectator "Award of Excellence" in 2005, 2006, and 2007. The list of awards for the restaurant and Hopkins is as long as your arm. Gourmet magazine called Restaurant Eugene "A Place to Eat Now" in 2005, and Hopkins was chosen as a challenger on Iron Chef and is nominated for a 2008 James Beard Award.
And the awards are justly deserved. The menu at Restaurant Eugene balances decadence of foie gras with seasonal, locally grown produce, meats, as well as fresh seafood. He offers a "Tasting of Local Vegetables" that includes: Anson Mill's Grits, Pole Beans, Sunchokes, Swiss Chard, Fennel, Crystal Organics' Baby Peppers, Golden Nugget Fingerlings, Arugula and Baby Greens. Restaurant Eugene also has an exceptional cheese list and offers monthly tastings called "Cheese Eugene." Gina's wine list is phenomenal. And the "Sunday Supper" with a choice of Fried Chicken, Benton Bacon Wrapped Trout or Osso Bucco is the place to be on Sunday night in Atlanta.
Linton and Gina Hopkins are as down to earth as the vegetables they serve, eat, and educate children about. They are striving to improve their community and the ones beyond. The best summary of who they are comes from a letter by Gina about their philosophy on www.restauranteugene.com:
Linton and I moved to Atlanta specifically to open Restaurant Eugene. When we met at DC Coast Restaurant in Washington, DC, we knew that someday we too would become restaurateurs. It is in our blood. There are so many things we love about the restaurant business it is hard to pinpoint one or even just a few things that we offer. The food is exceptional. Linton has such talent for putting the right things together: just thinking about his gnocchi with shitake mushrooms and English peas or a heirloom tomato tart with caramelized Vidalia onions makes my mouth water. I am so excited about the freshness and quality of the food we are serving. The décor is also special. We worked with Ed Seiber and his team at Seiber Design, Inc. We had a great connection with them right from the start and loved the process of designing the restaurant: layering great architecture with warm fabrics and inviting art. One thing that we really want the community and our guests to know is that we are here for the long term. We love people, and it is our foremost priority to ensure that our guests are well cared for and embraced with southern hospitality. We look forward to seeing you.
Best wishes,
Gina Hopkins
Enough said.

Five Year Gap?

This is very true. One of my GGFs "disappeared" for a census year and my GGM was living with her parents and daughter. Later on he was back. Where did he go? Apparently he went to Alaska for the gold rush, struck a little rich and returned to his wife and child. He had a gold nugget he made into a ring and gave it to my GGM.ReplyDelete
Today's 'Tip' highlights an interesting and important fact about life in the the US during the 19th and early 20th centuries: people moved around a lot more than I (at least) previously recognized. And migration wasn't consistently in a westward direction. If you limit yourself to the 10-year census intervals in tracking your ancestors' residences, you might well overlook some really intriguing aspects of their lives. For instance, my 3-great grandfather was born in eastern Ohio in 1818. The census shows that he made an interim move a few miles west to Coshocton County, Ohio before he and his wife purchased the farm in Licking County (about 30 miles further west) where they raised their 10 children and lived out their lives. For many years I was confident that that progression was the whole story. But last year, with the help of a cousin, we learned almost by accident that our ancestor had made a brief detour through Osage county, Kansas during the late 1840s. The Kansas venture never showed up on the census, and it was startling to us. It raises lots of intriguing questions, and suggests that our ancestor probably had a far greater spirit of adventure than we had previously realized!ReplyDelete

Age was no barrier to all this moving around. I have an ancestor who was born in Ohio in 1838, and we found him in the 1900 census ranching in Idaho near Yellowstone! By 1920 he was home for good in Ohio, still farming. This was in addition to marching all over Tennessee and Kentucky during the Civil War. Wonder where I got MY wandering feet?ReplyDelete

At 4:20 p.m., Andres Goodman took a hit from his enormous blunt -- in unison with thousands of fellow pot smokers -- and the sky above the University of Colorado's Norlin Quad turned hazy.
So did many of the 4/20 participants.
"I grew it myself," declared Goodman, 24, before generously passing the marijuana-packed cigar along to friends.
The university estimates that 8,000 people showed up for Tuesday's unofficial smoke-out, about the same number as last year, said Bronson Hilliard, spokesman for the Boulder campus. Police officers took the rough crowd measurement while standing on a top floor in Norlin Library so they could get a bird's-eye view of the quad, he said.
But Alex Douglas, executive director of the CU chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, estimates there were at least 15,000 people assembled on the quad.
"I've never seen the field so full," he said. "I think CU is trying to downplay it."
Douglas said he was pleased with the event, except for the CU Police Department's decision this year to ticket people before the smoke-out. Police issued a dozen tickets before 4 p.m., 11 of which were for possession of marijuana, police spokeswoman Molly Bosley said. Last year, police only issued two possession tickets on 4/20.
Goodman, of Westminster, snubbed a similar smoke-out in Denver to come to Boulder.
"You get higher at higher elevations," he said, in between coughs.
CU: Weather, security put damper on crowds
Leading up to 4/20, CU's NORML chapter had expected that 15,000 to 20,000 people would show for the event --partly a protest advocating the loosening of marijuana laws and partly a celebration of cannabis culture. Smoke-outs at 4:20 p.m. are said to have grown from a northern California pot-smoking tradition.
CU's NORML chapter expected a boom in medical marijuana to give extra momentum to the event.
A partly rainy afternoon, coupled with strict parking security, were likely behind the lower turnout, Hilliard said, but students said many stayed away until the clock struck 4:20 p.m. because of police crackdowns.
CU sophomore Renny Ratliff said he secured a medical marijuana license because he has an ankle injury, joint pain and attention-deficit disorder.
"Legalizing marijuana would be a big change for the better, and we're here to support that but mainly just to enjoy," he said.
But police said holding a medical marijuana license was not a "get-out-of-jail-free card" for public pot smokers. Bosley said at least one ticket was issued to a license holder for smoking in public, an offense not covered by the possession of a license.
Over the years, CU has changed its enforcement tactics at the 4/20 rallies -- turning the sprinklers on pot smokers one year when the crowd was smaller and gathered on Farrand Field. Another year, police posted pictures of pot smokers online and offered cash rewards to people who could make identifications.
After a few years of issuing few tickets, CU sent an e-mail last week to students warning that they could be ticketed if they were busted smoking marijuana before, or after, the 4:20 p.m. event. Campus officials acknowledged it would be too difficult to issue tickets when the crowd reached thousands.
Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is a petty offense that carries a maximum $100 fine -- which means participants could get hit with a bigger fine for littering their Doritos bags than puffing from a pipe.
'Best day ever'
Many attendees dressed up for the event, wearing necklaces made of plastic marijuana leaves or green Mardi Gras beads. One man wore a scuba mask, another donned a T-shirt that said "4:30: Better late than never" and a teenager made sure she matched her purple and pink earrings with her glass pipe.
"This is like a second spring break for us," said Stefan Visty, a freshman from CU's Colorado Springs campus who lounged on the quad. "It's a chance to relax and enjoy before finals and all that."
Abdul Dashbi, 21, said he traveled all the way from Kuwait for a weeklong visit and to partake in Boulder's 4/20 smoke-out.
"Best day ever," he said, then started surveying Boulder residents about whether Tuesday afternoon was like a normal day on the campus.
Metropolitan State College of Denver student Marshall Tugman, 18, spent the afternoon filming high people walking through the crowds. The footage is for his friend's mockumentary project, which will morph the people into zombies, he said.
Chris Bartsch, a 31-year-old musician with a medical marijuana license, described the gathering at CU as "surreal."
"I work in apartment maintenance, and that's a really stressful job," Bartsch said. "I smoke pot. It makes me calm down."
He said he attended in the spirit of "peace, love and freedom." Bartsch said he believes marijuana is on the cusp of becoming legal.
People began to disperse after 4:20 p.m., but smokers could be overheard philosophizing. (Grandiose ideas included turning the Norlin Quad into a dog park and de-legalizing cigarettes).
By 5 p.m., the quad had nearly emptied out, and police officers politely asked people to pick up their trash and go home.

Locals can learn about updated federal plans to build the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system and air their views at a meeting later this month.
Locals can learn about updated federal plans to build the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane protection system and air their views at a meeting later this month.
Morganza is a system of levees, floodgates and a lock on the Houma Navigation Canal designed to protect Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes from storm flooding.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a draft plan for construction of the federal levee system.
The report updated the project with more-strict post-Hurricane Katrina construction standards and increased its price from a projected $886 million in 2007 to $12.9 billion. State and local officials must come up with 35 percent of that cost, as much as $4.5 billion.
A forum to provide an overview of the report and take public comments is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Jan. 31 at the Houma Municipal Auditorium, 880 Verret St.
"If there is one single thing that is going to affect the future of this parish, it's Morganza-to-the-Gulf," said Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet.
The study, launched after Congress authorized the project in 2007, was necessary because Morganza was going to exceed its then-projected cost by more than 20 percent. In addition, the project needed to be updated with newer levee-design standards enacted after 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
Aside from the higher price tag, big changes also were made to the path of the levee system to protect more communities from storm surge.
The updated project adds 36 additional miles of levees, extending the levee from U.S. 90 in Gibson to La. 1 in Lockport. Morganza will now include 98 miles of levees, a lock on the Houma Navigation Canal, 19 floodgates and 23 water-control structures.
The western extension would follow the south side of Bayou Black Drive to Gibson. There also would be a new floodgate on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
The eastern extension will connect with south Lafourche's Larose-to-Golden Meadow levee system below Cut Off. It would follow the path of that levee system to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, where a second floodgate would be built. The levee would then follow the eastern side of the Lafourche ridge up to Lockport. The community of Gheens would be left outside the system.
Levees will be built up to 26.5 feet high, and flood-protection and water-control structures would be built up to 33 feet high, according to the report. Levee widths will range from 282 feet to 725 feet.
Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre said it's important for residents to understand the federal Morganza project and why it has changed. Understanding the changes shows why it was important for residents to pass a half-cent sales tax that will pay to build 10-foot levees and 18-foot floodgates along Morganza's projected path. That won't protect Terrebonne residents from all storms but would have prevented the flooding experienced during hurricanes Rita and Ike.
"The project has changed in price over 1,000 percent since it was authorized five short years ago," Dupre said. "Overall it shows we did make the right choice moving forward."
Local officials have said the project's massive price tag makes it unlikely it will be built anytime soon, if at all.
The current report is a draft version, Dupre said. Public comments will be considered before the corps issues a final version of the report, which should be finished this summer.
That final report will be submitted to corps headquarters in Washington, D.C., where it must be approved by leadership. It must then be authorized by Congress.
Dupre said the word from Washington is that there is interest in bringing a water projects bill before Congress this year. U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told The Courier and Daily Comet earlier this month that his goal is to have Morganza included in that bill, called the Water Resources Development Act. Vitter is the top Republican on the Senate's environmental committee that will oversee that bill.
If Morganza is authorized, Congress must then approve the money to get the levee system built.
Dupre said state and local officials are looking at other options to get work done on at least part of the levee project.
He said the state is interested in moving ahead with work on a large lock planned for the Houma Navigation Canal. The Levee District also would like the corps to approve work on a replacement for the Humble Canal floodgate, one of the most-frequently used floodgates in the parish.
The state and the Levee District are exploring alternate means of paying for the projects, including oil spill fines and offshore revenue that will be paid back to the state for restoration projects beginning in 2017.
If you can't make it to the meeting, written comments also can be submitted to Nathan Dayan, environmental manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, P.O. Box 60267, New Orleans, La., 70160-0267 or by email to email@example.com.
They can also be made by phone to 504-862-2530 or by fax to 504-862-2088. Comments will be accepted until Feb. 18.
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Green Policy
Sustainability and Efficiency are at our very core ... since 1984.
We started hand-building our unique convertible sofabeds, right here in the USA back in 1984 - and, although "green" was not a buzz word at the time, it was always our way. Sustainability and efficiency have always been at our very core - from product design to production.
RenewableWe use only 100% solid, clear, beautiful and naturally strong hardwood, itself a renewable resource. All the wood we use comes from FSC ( Forest Steward Council) CERTIFIED MILLS and is FSC controlled.This means the wood comes from slow-growth, sustainably managed forests.
EfficientFrom the furniture design itself to the production method that is designed to build the furniture - Nikita, the designer of JustLeanBack LLC has always kept efficiency at the core. And efficiency is green. Efficient design means less material usage. Efficient production means less shop space to maintain. Our shop is small and hyper-efficient. And yes, we use efficient lighting.
Zero Waste FacilityWe use only high-grade hardwoods, classified as "select and better" and yet, because we can use "shorts" we are, infact beginning with "industry leftovers". When these boards come to our shop, we cut for maximum yield, leaving very little waste wood. That small amount of wood left over is used for heating during the winter in our high-efficiency wood stoves. The remaining sawdust is picked up by local farmers and used for animal bedding. That makes for TOTAL EFFICIENCY and ZERO WASTE.
Hand-made in USA
We have been hand-building in the USA - ever since Nikita got the very first US patent on Futon SofaBeds in 1984. During the 80's and 90's, when most companies were importing from China and Malaysia - we stayed right here - in the USA - designing and making the best convertible sofabed frames on the planet. These were tough times, we admit - as, it seemed, almost everyone became accustomed to underpriced, poor quality imports - many of which have ended up in our American landfills. But now the tide is turning. Today, there is a greater appreciation for quality craftsmanship, durability and good design. We, at JustLeanBack, thank you for being one of those people who recognize and appreciate GOODesign MADE IN THE USA.
Hand-Made in USA
We hand-make our box cushions and custom covers and pillows using the finest fibers and fabrics. All the fabric left-overs and discontinued display swatches are sent to various local craft groups, including the art department at a local college and support groups at a local hospital. We've seen many a beautiful tote bag created from these fine fabric leftovers. Even the leftover foam and Dacron is chopped up for future bean bag chairs. This makes for TOTAL EFFICIENCY AND ZERO WASTE.

text: No Clear Winner in Dairy Bills April 9, 2013 01:08 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Analysis of the two competing Farm Bill dairy titles shows no clear economic winner. Sometimes the Dairy Security Act (DSA), which includes a market stabilization program, provides more net revenue. Other times, the so-called Goodlatte/Scott amendment (G/S) which contains no market stabilization program, provides more. The analysis is presented by Marin Bozic, a University of Minnesota dairy economist. But the work was done in collaboration with Michigan State, Ohio State and the University of Wisconsin. The analysis was based on March 15, 2015 futures prices. The economists assumed 75% participation in both programs. For a 150-cow dairy, the returns under DSA range from $59/cow to $82 depending on the level of supplemental margin insurance selected. Under G/S, they range from $64 to $98. The DSA analysis includes a $24/cow market stabilization cost and a $19/cow price boost due to the cutback in milk supplies. Under DSA, there could be a "free rider" problem because those who do not participate in the program would still benefit from the market rise from those who cut back production. For a 3,000-cow dairy, the returns under DSA range from $41/cow to $96 depending on the level of supplemental margin insurance selected. Under G/S, they range from $36 to $76. If either program had been in place in 2013, there was a high likelihood of premiums being paid under the program and a 30% probability that the market stabilization program would have been triggered, adds John Newton, a Ph. D. candidate in ag economics at Ohio State. Both Bozic and Newton spoke at the National Dairy Producer Conference here in Indianapolis this week. Bozic presented only the DSA analysis at the conference. His work on the Goodlatte/Scott amendment was presented last week in Minnesota. The programs are effective against protecting against catastrophic risk, he says, and they pay the most when farms need it the most. The team of ag economists are developing an on-line decision tool that will allow dairy farmers to plug in their own on-farm numbers to determine if participation is economic for their farms. It will also help them determine which level of supplemental insurance would be most likely to provide a benefit. Back to news

We open to Marc Bergevin's new office on the 7th floor of the Bell Centre. The camera focuses on a simple desk, a series of chairs, a small lamp and a dartboard with Scott Gomez's picture stapled to it.
Sitting around a table stationed at the far corner of the room are the members of new "Habs Brain Trust" consisting of Scott Mellanby, Rick Dudley, Larry Carriere, Patrice Brisebois, Martin Lapointe and of course, Marc Bergevin.
They appear to be engaged in intense and rapid conversation…let's have a listen.
Marc Bergevin: And then he says "Don't hire Larry Robinson"
All: *Laughter*
Marc Bergevin: He was serious.
Martin Lapointe: Wait…what?
Marc Bergevin: You know he signed in San Jose last week right? I don't even know why I'm telling you all this story. Don't you have phones? TVs?
Scott Mellanby: Yeah but I spend all of my time playing Draw Something and watching Storage Wars.
Marc Bergevin: You guys know you have jobs right?
Rick Dudley: Oh I know I have a job. Right now I'm planning to kidnap the Prime Minister's daughter and hold her for ransom!
Marc Bergevin: That's….not leg-
Rick Dudley: And then I'm going to make her fall in love with me!
Marc Bergevin: Does Harper even have a daugh-
Rick Dudley: And then, after she inevitably spurns my advances, I'm going to tie her up and leave her on railroad tracks! *he fingers his moustache* Nyehehehe!
The Brain Trust stares at Dudley blankly.
Marc Bergevin: Are you high?
Rick Dudley: As a kite!
Marc Bergevin: So you don't actually think you're an old timey villain?
Rick Dudley: Oh I most certainly do!
Scott Mellanby: I heard about this from Burke at the draft. Just ignore him until he comes back to earth.
Patrice Brisebois: Like Georges Laraque?
Scott Mellanby: Exactly.
Marc Bergevin: Alright, on to business then. As you may or may not have heard, I'm awesome.
Larry Carriere: Who said that?
Marc Bergevin: Doesn't matter. The point is that we're well on our way to recovering from the dark ages and I think that we're making good headway into establishing ourselves as a legitimate organization within the NHL again.
Larry Carriere: I have to admit that things are a lot better since he who must not be named was fired.
Marc Bergevin: You're right. And you know what that reminds me, why won't you say Pier-
Larry Carriere: NO! Please don't say his name. It's not that a won't say it…it's more like I can't say it.
Marc Bergevin: Why not?
Larry Carriere: I maybe kind of most definitely have developed a conditioned reflex to that name.
Marc Bergevin: Because he made your life a living hell for a year.
Larry Carriere: Yes. So I would really appreciate you not saying his name.
Marc Bergevin: Ok.
Martin Lapointe: PIERRE GAUTHIER!
Without warning, Carriere jumps across the table and punches Lapointe in the face.
Patrice Brisebois: Jesus!
Larry Carriere: I'm sorry, I warned him.
Marc Bergevin: You should probably see a shrink about that.
Larry Carriere: I've been to four. Two are pressing charges.
Marc Bergevin: Tabled?
Scott Mellanby: Tabled.
Patrice Brisebois: Tabled.
Rick Dudley: Tabled mmmyesssss!
Marc Bergevin: Anyways, As I was saying: Our image is improving but it's still not up to where I want it to be. We've been trying to get our name out there in the media world but we haven't been very successful.
Scott Mellanby: Family Feud was a disaster.
*The scene cuts to several members of the Canadiens on the hit TV gameshow Family Feud*
Steve Harvey: Well congratulations Brian, you did fantastic in the first round of Fast Money earning 170 points! It's now up to you, Tomas, to get at least 30 points to win 50,000 for your charity!
Tomas Kaberle: I am ready Steve!
Steve Harvey: Alright, to go over the rules one more time, I will tell you a survey question and if you-
Tomas Kaberle: I watched this show all the time as a kid. I know the rules Steve.
Steve Harvey: Alright a pro! Here we go folks! 70 seconds on the clock! Name somewhere you drive to…
Tomas Kaberle:…..Pass.
Brian Gionta: Crap.
*Cut back to the office*
Patrice Brisebois: And we all know sending Desharnais to the Children's hospital was a terrible idea.
*Cut to the Montreal Children's Hospital*
David Desharnais:*being restrained by orderlies* I'M NOT A PATIENT! I'M TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME! CALL MARC BERGEVIN!!! CALL MARC BERGEVIIIIIIN!!!
*Cut back to the office*
Larry Carriere: And getting Emelin to work that kid's birthday party was not smart.
*Cut to birthday party*
Alexei Emelin: Who want see dead body?!*
*Cut back to the office*
Marc Bergevin: So I think we can all agree that we should slow it down with the public appearances but I think we still need to tell the world that the old regime is over and that we're back to the old Habs who love to win and be all in your face about it. Scott, what's Twitter saying about us?
Scott Mellanby: Well, they want you to sign a top 6 forward.
Marc Bergevin: What? There were like none available!
Larry Carriere: What? There tons!
Marc Bergevin: No.
Scott Mellanby: Jagr, Whitney, Parenteau-

Don't miss The Politburo's deconstruction of the New York Times' reporting on civilian casualties in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the Arab News breathlessly repeated the Times' tissue of speculation and fabrication as though it were authoritative. I can't link to their article, however, as it seems to have disappeared from Arab News' site. Maybe Arab News was embarrassed to be linked to a far-left publication like the Times. Or maybe they read The Politburo and suffered pangs of conscience.

The 1970s
The 1970s are remembered as one of the most turbulent periods in United States History. The social unrest that began in the 1960s peaked in the 1970s. Terrorism, both domestic and international, was a significant problem for police around the world. Terrorists and even national governments adopted hostage taking as a preferred tool for pressing their causes, and criminals quickly adopted this terrifying tactic for their own purposes. The domestic and international turmoil caused other disruptions, as well. The first oil embargo resulted in long lines at gas pumps, alternate day restrictions on the purchase of gasoline and reduced speed limits. The reduced speed limits and need to conserve gasoline produced major speed enforcement initiatives and had the unexpected benefit of significantly reducing traffic fatalities.
The oil embargo also triggered serious economic problems. Inflation soared and employment fell. Shortages of such diverse products as beef and toilet paper plagued the country, resulting in increased criminal activity such as truck hijacking. The price of gold and silver skyrocketed, and burglars looking for antique silverware and gold jewelry increased their illegal activities across the State. Illegal drug trafficking and violent crime increased drastically.
The New York State Police was confronted with dealing with these escalating crime rates and social turmoil during a time of declining resources. During the 1970s, "doing more with less" was the watchword for New York State Government. In four of the ten years, the Division did not hire any members to replace those who retired or resigned. The State Police increasingly relied on the application of technology to improve efficiency and maintain law enforcement services for the citizens they were sworn to serve. Major efforts were likewise begun to increase citizen involvement and support of the Division's law enforcement efforts.
Continued Reorganization
The reorganization and modernization of the New York State Police that began during the 1960s continued into the early 1970s. In 1970 the New York State Police Academy was finally completed and the first class of 98 recruit Troopers was admitted in May. In 1971, the new headquarters for Troop K was completed. More specialized units were established as criminals became more sophisticated. In 1970 the New York City Drug Enforcement Task Force teamed State Police personnel with Federal drug enforcement agents and New York City Police Department personnel to have a major impact on illegal drug trafficking in the New York City metropolitan area. The rise of organized crime resulted in the formation of an Organized Crime Task Force, with New York State Police Investigators assigned to work with the Attorney General's Office. Special hazardous device units were formed and members trained to deal with bombs and other explosive devices in response to the rise in terrorism and bombings across the State.
A New Superintendent - Expansion Resumes
Superintendent William Kirwan retired in 1975, and was replaced by William Connelie, a career officer with the New York City Police Department. Superintendent Connelie rose through the ranks of the NYCPD from patrolman to assistant chief inspector, and was cited 13 times for bravery during his 30 years with the NYCPD. As the State began to recover from the economic difficulties caused by the energy crisis in the first half of the decade, the Division was able to continue the expansion program begun under Superintendent Cornelius.
A program of Laboratory expansion was begun in order to provide better service to the State Police members and local law enforcement agencies dependent on the State Police Crime Laboratory for evidence analysis. In 1978, the Mid-Hudson Regional Crime Laboratory opened in Newburgh.
Satellite offices were established in 1977 in order to save fuel and allow Troopers to spend more time on patrol by stationing them closer to their posts. The program was initiated with 34 Satellite Offices. This number increased to 60 by the end of the decade. In 1977, the first recruit class in two years was authorized and 229 recruit Troopers were hired.
Technology - Communications
Communications improvements continued in the 1970s. A shift to high band radios was initiated to alleviate interference problems in Troops B, D and G in 1970 and extended throughout the Division during the remainder of the decade. At the same time, hand held radios were introduced, providing Troopers who were operating away from their patrol vehicles with critically needed communications. High speed, video equipped terminals were introduced in 1974 and installed statewide in 1975. These terminals provided on-screen message formats and transmitted messages twelve to sixteen times faster than the terminals they replaced. In 1976, the Division added a statewide channel to allow intertroop radio communications. The following year, Division radios were installed in all Thruway cars, to link Troopers patrolling the Thruway to Division cars and installations across the State.
In 1970, a new computer was acquired to upgrade communications and information management and expand communications services to local police departments. As a result, the New York Statewide Police Information System began operating in 1971.
In 1972, the State Police computer system was interfaced with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Service's computerized missing and wanted persons files. The following year the State Police computers were linked with the Department of Motor Vehicles computerized drivers' license and motor vehicle registration files. This provided direct access to these files to conduct immediate checks in response to radio requests from Troopers in the field.
The added computer capacity allowed computerization of field and administrative information management. This evolved into the current Management Information Network. Early applications included maintenance of personnel records, compilation of arrest statistics and recording of time and activity reports.
Highway Safety Technology
A major victory in the war against drunk driving was achieved in 1971. The New York State Court of Appeals upheld the validity of the Breathalyzer for determining the blood alcohol content of intoxicated drivers. This judicial recognition eliminated the need to have scientists from the State Police Crime Laboratory testify to the scientific validity of the procedure at every drunk driving trial involving use of the Breathalyzer. This was a particularly timely decision because Troopers made more than 10,000 DWI arrests in a single year for the first time in 1972.
The use of VASCAR for speed enforcement expanded when 200 units were acquired in 1971. This number was doubled in 1972. In 1975, the State Police acquired its first radar units capable of operating while the Troop car was in motion.
Illegal Drugs
The serious problems of illegal drug use and trafficking that emerged during the 1960s grew to epidemic proportions in the 1970s. The Division was forced to repeatedly increase the resources dedicated to combating illegal drugs. The number of illegal drug arrests made by Division members increased 35% in 1970, 25% in 1971 and 31% in 1972. The Crime Laboratory was inundated with drug cases, not only from the increased number of State Police arrests, but also due to increased arrests by local law enforcement agencies for whom the State Police provides crime laboratory services. By 1972, the Crime Laboratory had a massive backlog of drug cases.
In 1973 the Division received a Federal grant that allowed them to hire fourteen scientists to deal with the drug backlog. By early 1974, the Laboratory was working two shifts in order to deal with the drug case load. New instrumentation was also acquired, including a gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer, an instrument that can indisputably identify drugs and other chemical substances; the State Police was one of the first forensic laboratories in the nation to have this sophisticated capability.
One of the toughest drug laws in the nation, mandating life in prison for serious drug crimes, took effect at the end of 1973. As a result, drug dealers began to shift their operations to adjacent states with less stringent laws. When undercover State Police Investigators made a deal to buy a pound of cocaine, the dealers insisted that they take delivery in Vermont because the dealers did not want to risk the severe penalties for drug sales in New York State. Drug arrests declined 16.7% in 1974.
Highway Safety
Highway safety and traffic enforcement received renewed attention. In an effort to conserve gasoline, speed limits were reduced to a maximum of 55 m.p.h. This had an unexpected benefit, as noted by Superintendent Kirwan in the 1973 Annual Report, "Shortage of gasoline has had a wholesome impact on traffic. The lower speed limits...and the reduction in travel were the main factors accounting for a decline of 16% in accidents investigated in November and 28% in December."
Federal grant money was obtained to establish dedicated highway safety task forces. Federal money was also obtained to greatly expand the use of VASCAR, with 400 units placed in service between 1971 and 1972. The attention to traffic enforcement resulted in a 9.6% decline in accidents in 1974 and a 27% decrease in fatal accidents, a trend that continued through the rest of the decade.
Riots and Social Unrest
In its first decade, the State Police earned the respect and admiration of the public for its efficient and effective response to labor and prison riots. In the 1970s, they repeated their previous performance. Troopers were called repeatedly to restore order at prison riots at Auburn in 1970 and Attica in 1971. In 1979, prison guards went on strike and the State Police worked twelve hour shifts for 16 days as 25% of the force provided perimeter security, traffic control and monitored picket lines and the balance of the Division maintained State Police services across the State.
Prisons were not the only places that where Troopers had to deal with public disturbances. In 1970, 600 students blocked the New York State Thruway at exit 24 to protest the entrance of United States troops into Cambodia. And in 1971, a riot ignited by racial bias broke out on the campus of the State University at Cobleskill. In 1974, Troopers were called to maintain order when a group of Mohawk Indians occupied a girl's camp on Moss Lake. This was the beginning of a three year duty, and presaged more serious incidents involving Native Americans that would occupy a significant portion of the Division's attention and resources in the coming years.
Public Service
Throughout the turmoil and difficulties of the 1970s, one thing remained constant for the State Police: whenever disaster struck anywhere in New York, the victims could count on the State Police to be there with assistance. In 1972, the Southern Tier was ravaged by some of the most serious flooding in State History. Water raged 25 feet deep in the City of Corning. The State Police evacuated hundreds of people and provided emergency communications as all normal communications were knocked out. In 1977, a three day blizzard paralyzed the State. Troopers struggled through twenty foot drifts and zero visibility to rescue stranded motorists and bring medical assistance and emergency supplies to snowbound residents.
Troopers provided a wide range of public services in addition to natural disaster relief. In 1973, a rock concert in Watkins Glen attracted 600,000 fans, three times the number that attended the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Troopers provided traffic control, emergency assistance and police protection without serious incident, once again earning praise for their effectiveness. In 1976, 225 State Police members provided security for the U.S. Olympic Team as it practiced in Plattsburgh prior to the Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada. Their experience was valuable in preparation for policing the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.
The Division reached out to underprivileged youngsters when Superintendent Connelie initiated the State Police Summer Program in 1976. Children from economically disadvantaged urban neighborhoods were provided the opportunity to spend a week at the State Police Academy, experiencing some of the simple pleasures of childhood and forming friendships with Troopers in a relaxed setting.
Throughout the decade, the State Police maintained and enhanced its reputation as a source of service and assistance to people in need, as well as being an effective, efficient law enforcement agency.

My non supportive response to "All Biology is Computational Biology"
2 comments:
I think you are missing the point of a phrase like "all biology is computational biology" -- it is not saying that nobody should do experiments but rather that no project should be done without a computational side. The obvious reference is to the famous "all biology is molecular biology" which was controversial at the time but has been vindicated by history.ReplyDeleteReplies
Whatever the reference is and whether serious or controversial I (1) disagree with the statement and (2) disagree with much of what is in the text of the article. And for that matter, I disagree that "all biology is molecular biology" too.Delete

Oregon Hybrid Graduate Programs in Public Affairs & Social Sciences
If you can't make it full-time to a campus program and are not ready to sacrifice in person interaction, you might prefer Hybrid Social Sciences and Public Affairs Graduate Programs. Busy schedules, long work hours and family duties are the reality for many of today's graduate students. That's why some universities offer flexible schedules, online learning and off-campus locations to potentially put a public affairs and social sciences graduate degree within your grasp.
Why Consider a Hybrid Social Sciences and Public Affairs Graduate Degree?
Hybrid Social Sciences and Public Affairs graduate programs may help students gain knowledge and practical skills in a wide range of fields through a convenient format. Usually this means a blend of online and in-person delivery options that may fit the needs of a busy timetable. In fact, some hybrid graduate degrees in public affairs and social sciences might even place you abroad in summer for some credits, then at your home desk for the remainder of your courses.
Hybrid Format and Structure
Aside from topics specific to your content area, your Hybrid Public Affairs and Social Sciences graduate program may provide coursework in professional development, research methods and best practices. You might take courses in the evening at a local campus, or enroll in a non-local program with easy to manage residencies. The rest of the time, you could study independently through web-based courses. And, stay connected to your school, faculty and classmates through digital tools such as video conferences, chatrooms and email. Of course, formats and structure of a blended program could vary between universities. So contact schools for details.
What are Public Affairs and Social Sciences?
For certain, hybrid Public Affairs and Social Sciences graduate programs span many categories. Public affairs graduate
programs study the relationships between organizations and their stakeholders. Emergency management, public policy and health communications are some examples. By comparison, social sciences degrees take a deeper look at human behavior within society. Psychology, economics, anthropology and sociology are some of the academic disciplines included in the social sciences. If your aim is to earn a graduate degree in any of these majors, you might find the low-residency and flexible format to be a great match.
In terms of skills, Public Affairs Specialists need to be able to listen and grasp ideas that are presented orally.i The Social Scientist needs to be able to grasp information presented in written documents.ii
Hybrid Public Affairs and Social Sciences Graduate Degree Essentials
The three main types of Hybrid Public Affairs and Social Sciences graduate programs are certificates, masters and doctorate degrees. Most programs at these levels presume the applicant has earned a bachelors degree from an accredited institution. Other requirements are likely to vary a great deal between schools and areas of study.
Hybrid Graduate Certificates in Public Affairs and Social Sciences
In general, Graduate Certificates in Public Affairs and Social Sciences are academic programs that could add onto, or help prepare for, a graduate degree. Some programs might entail about four or five courses. These programs could take less than a year to complete. Other programs, might entail more credits and coursework, so make sure to read through requirements. Sample hybrid certificate options are listed below.
Hybrid Postgraduate Certificates in Social Work: Social workers and recent graduates who hope to refine practical skills within a dedicated field such as substance abuse or trauma might pursue a hybrid postgraduate certificate in social work. Some certificates of this type could help students meet the clock hour educational requirements for specific credentials. For instance, an Addictions Postgraduate Certificate program might help some master's level professionals in social work prepare to apply for the NYS OASAS credential in Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counseling (CASAC-T). If this is your goal, make sure to check with your school and local state board to confirm expectations.
Hybrid Applied Psychology Certificate: Some Master of Science in Applied Psychology (MSAP) programs may provide twelve credit certificates in areas of emphasis that can later be applied to the masters degree as a concentration area. For example, you might choose a focus in Industrial-Organizational Psychology to explore how people work in groups and organizations.
Hybrid Masters Degrees in Public Affairs and Social Sciences
Hybrid masters degrees in Public Affairs and Social Sciences might be found as Master of Arts, Master of Science, and professional masters degrees such as the Master of Public Administration (MPA) or Master of Social Work (MSW). Some programs entail about two years of full-time study. Graduate students could study various research methods and develop a grasp of how to interpret and assess data. Also, some programs may help to build managerial and professional communication skills. Consider some of the following.
The Master of Science in Gerontology may help you prepare to better grasp some of the complexities of aging, health and social structures. Topics you could study include the biological and psychological aspects of the aging body and how it is affected be disease, stress and change. Other courses could prepare students to conduct research and work independently on a practical project.
Master of Science in Unmanned Systems: A non-engineering degree, a MS in Unmanned Systems might explore policy design, ethics and systems management. Students could work in independent and team settings to develop their ability to collaborate and lead. Also, a variety of concentrations (e.g. Aeronautics and Design, Aviation research, Safety) might help tailor the program to individual goals and interests.
Master of Arts in International Trade and Economic Diplomacy students may gain a deep grasp of policy analysis and trade negotiations.
Master of Science in Organizational Psychology degree programs may highlight the behavior of individuals in businesses and organizations in order to develop strategies to improve performance and productivity. Coursework could delve into tests and measures, research design, leadership, human resources management and more.
Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling programs may help students prepare for clinical work, licensure and future doctoral study. Some low-residency models begin with a brief on-campus residency which offers seminars, the chance to meet with advisors, and connect with others. Students then continue to take courses in psychopathology, lifespan, cognition and counseling theory through their school's web-based platform.
Master of Public Administration (MPA): A MPA degree could examine topics such as accountability, transparency, ethics, privacy and participation. In some of their courses, students might analyze public policy and could learn how to find solutions to critical social issues. Other courses might focus on management areas such as finance and budget, personnel, and operations.
Master of Arts in Global Development and Social Justice programs could explore best practices and leadership in global development. Coursework could provide an in-depth look at economics, sustainable food and water sources, media strategy and more.
Hybrid Doctorate Degrees in Public Affairs and Social Sciences
Hybrid Doctorate Degrees in Public Affairs and Social Sciences provide the highest level of graduate degree in one's technical field. Candidates might choose a research-focused Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), or a practice-focused professional doctorate such as a Doctor of Education in Sport Psychology. PhD programs entail advanced courses, research methods and may expect students to contribute new insight to their field of inquiry. Professional Doctorates may lean towards the development of refined practical skills, and the application of theory to a current challenge in one's field. Program lengths vary but typically add several years of study post-masters.
Doctor of Education in Sport and Performance Psychology: An EdD in Sport and Performance Psychology could blend coursework in cognition, motivation and counseling. Students in an EdDSPP program often examine theories and methods designed to foster wellness, mental focus, and optimal sport performance. For instance, courses may explore how to help clients set goals, overcome roadblocks and develop confidence.
PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies: Candidates who pursue a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies might study a variety of ideas and practices. Some programs might explore a combination of leadership, public policy, social change, ethics, creativity, innovation, and other areas in the humanities.

The Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) reserves its highest award, called the Gold Pulaski, for those the board feels truly worthy. Jerry Cain of Lincoln, Montana has been "treasurer and director extraordinaire" since the RAF was formed, says RAF President John McKenna. Jerry flies a Husky A1-A and has steadfastly tracked all donations made since day one. "Even though Jerry officially stepped down December 31, 2011 as treasurer, I haven't noticed any difference in the effort he puts forth," noted McKenna at an RAF briefing at the recent Montana Aviation Conference in Bozeman.
Past recipients of the Gold Pulaski have been:
- Chuck Jarecki – for his work at RYAN FIELD
- Craig Fuller, AOPA President – for his promotion of the RAF
- Dan Prill – for his work on the Russian Flat airfield
- Gordon Rock – for his support of the RAF
- Tim Robertson – for his companies support and building of Russian Flat.
The Pulaski is the tool of choice to get much work done by a single individual.

Depending on the type of job and the organization, most open government positions are posted on the agency's website as well as advertised in local news media. Many positions are also posted with professional organizations. Some union contracts may require that open positions be posted internally for a period of time before they can be announced to the general public.Do all government agencies have a Human Resources Department?
All levels of government have an office that carries out the functions of a Human Resources Department. In smaller organizations, the Human Resources function may be fulfilled by the chief executive's office. At the state level of government, the Human Resources Department is often one division within a Department of Administrative Services. The federal agency responsible for Human Resources functions is the Office of Personnel Management.Will the Human Resources Department help citizens find jobs in the private sector?
Human Resources Departments generally focus on the staffing and personnel management of a government agency and do not provide job search assistance to the general public. Assistance in job searches can often be obtained by contacting the Department of Labor or the Workforce Development agency.
