Glenn Davis, the 1946 Heisman Trophy winner who teamed with Doc Blanchard on the undefeated Army teams of the mid-1940's to form college football's most celebrated backfield pairing, died yesterday at his home in La Quinta, Calif. He was 80.
The cause was complications of prostate cancer, said his stepson, John Slack III.
Davis, a speedy and elusive halfback, was known as Mr. Outside. Blanchard, a bruising fullback who won the Heisman as college football's top player in 1945, was Mr. Inside. Each captured all-American honors three times, and they were pictured together on the covers of Time and Life magazines.
Davis scored 59 touchdowns (43 rushing, 14 receiving and 2 on punt returns) playing from 1943 to 1946. His career rushing average of 8.26 yards a carry (358 carries for 2,957 yards) remains a collegiate record, and he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1961.
"He had an elusiveness about him, a kind of fifth speed," Blanchard once said. "He'd get out and look like he was running wide open and then run faster."
Davis was perhaps the greatest all-around athlete in West Point history. He was a star center fielder on the baseball team, an outstanding sprinter, and he played basketball. He posted the highest score that had ever been attained on the academy's physical proficiency test.Continue reading the main story
During the World War II years, the exploits of Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside -- the nicknames bestowed by George Trevor, a sportswriter for The New York Sun -- were featured in homefront newsreels. "Surely, I don't think of myself as a hero, but maybe we made people feel better at just the right time," Davis told Bill Pennington in "The Heisman."
Glenn Woodward Davis, a native of Claremont, Calif., and the son of a bank manager, was a football star at Bonita High School in La Verne, near Los Angeles, playing alongside his twin, Ralph, who became an outstanding shot-putter at West Point.
As a plebe, or freshman, in 1943, Davis scored eight touchdowns and was seventh in the nation in total offense for an Army team that was 7-2-1. He was dismissed from the academy in December 1943 for failing mathematics, then gained readmission after several months of remedial work.
The Cadets, stockpiling talent under Coach Red Blaik when many colleges curtailed or dropped football because of the war, were 27-0-1 with Davis and Blanchard playing together from 1944 to 1946.
Davis scored a collegiate-record 20 touchdowns in 1944 and was runner-up to Les Horvath of Ohio State in the Heisman balloting as Army went 9-0, averaged 56 points a game and was voted the nation's No. 1 team. He scored 18 touchdowns in 1945 and finished second again in the Heisman vote, this time to Blanchard, as the Cadets were 9-0 once more and again the national champions. Davis had 13 touchdowns in 1946 for an Army team that went 9-0-1, a third straight undefeated season spoiled by a memorable 0-0 tie with Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium.
At 5 feet 9 inches and 170 pounds, Davis was brilliant in the open field. A favorite play was to have him start off right tackle, then cut to his left, go to the sideline and try to outrun everyone. Davis was also a passing threat and a safety on defense.
Davis and Blanchard played themselves in "Spirit of West Point," a Hollywood movie filmed in the summer of 1947 during their 60-day leave from military service.
Davis joined the National Football League's Los Angeles Rams in 1950 after serving in the infantry and was voted to the Pro Bowl.
But a knee injury incurred in the filming of "Spirit of West Point" hampered his mobility and ended his pro career after the 1951 season, when the Rams won the N.F.L. championship.
While on Army leave in 1948, Davis dated Elizabeth Taylor, and he married the actress Terry Moore in 1951. They were divorced two years later.
After leaving pro football, Davis was a longtime promotional executive for The Los Angeles Times.
Davis is survived by his third wife, Yvonne; his son, Ralph, of California; his stepson, John Slack III, of Baton Rouge, La., from his marriage to the former Harriet Slack, who died in 1995; a sister, Mary Gammons, of Pomona, Calif., and four grandchildren. Yvonne Davis, whom he married in 1996, was formerly the wife of Alan Ameche, the Wisconsin fullback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1954 and died in 1988. Glenn Davis's twin, Ralph, died in January 2005.
Blaik paid Davis a supreme compliment in his memoir "You Have to Pay the Price," written with Tim Cohane.
"Anybody who ever saw Davis carry the football must realize there could not have been a greater, more dangerous running back in the history of the game," Blaik said. "He was emphatically the greatest halfback I ever knew. He was not so much a dodger and sidestepper as a blazing runner who had a fourth, even fifth gear in reserve, could change direction at top speed, and fly away from tacklers as if jet-propelled."Continue reading the main story

Omaha 8 starting hands
A discussion on starting hand selection in Omaha High Low 8 or better Written by Jim Green
Basically, you get dealt 4 cards in Omaha and always have to use 2 of yours and 3 of the board cards to make your final hand. The rest of the game structure (betting rounds, dealer button, blinds, 3 card flop, 1 card turn turn, and 1 card river) is just like Holdem - except that the lowest hand at showdown (if it has 5 unpaired cards below 8) takes half the pot.

The Amherst House stood on the corner of Pleasant and Amity streets next to Merchants' Row in the center of Amherst, Masachusetts. That site had been the location of the Warner Tavern, Amherst's first, built around 1757. Elijah Boltwood took it over in 1806 and in 1821 he had a substantial three-story brick building erected there, with a colonnaded porch facing Pleasant Street. Boltwood ran it until 1838, when he sold it to Harvey Rockwood. He expanded it along Amity Street with an addition and also added a large basement facility with separate billiard, bar, and saloon rooms. Rockwood changed the name to "Amherst House." In 1843 he sold it to Albin P. Howe, who then issued this flyer announcing his arrival. Howe had owned a market in Amherst. He ran the Amherst House until 1867, and a succession of owners ran it until it burned to the ground in 1879.

Sandy Alderson said Philadelphia's stunning signing of Cliff Lee will have no great bearing or impact on his plans for putting together the Mets for 2011. Nor should it.
Alderson says the Mets can be competitive, but there's room for interpretation on what that means. Will the Mets make a run at the wild card or just play tight, close games they'll more often than not eventually lose? With the way the roster is compiled and limited spending to them, it is probably the latter.
The Mets talked bravely about the Phillies being better on paper, which is undoubtedly true, but they still have to play the games. That's the way to slip into cliche mode. Adding Chris Young or Jeff Francis isn't going to make a world of difference for the Mets. Fact is, with the Yankees losing out on Lee I can see them swooping down on Young to bring into camp. The $4 million he wants is chump change to the Yankees.
Alderson can't write off 2011 entirely because he still has tickets to sell and he needs to change the culture by improving the remaining product on the field. A panic signing now, with all that payroll coming off the books later, does the team no good.
Just get used to it. This will be a rough year, but it is the needed medicine to cure the ills of the previous regime.

Some neighborhoods have it all, and some neighborhoods have very little, but only one Chicago neighborhood, Greater Grand Crossing, has Stephanie Hart and her Brown Sugar Bakery.
There, every day you can get cupcakes the size of small children's heads and cakes that look like something out of their sweet dreams.
And on many evenings — such as this Thursday at 7 p.m. — you can also experience salonlike entertainment events featuring local poets and musicians.
"It is such a vibrant neighborhood filled with so many talented people," says Hart. "I started meeting them when they came in to buy things and just got to talking, and thought what a wonderful thing it would be to host live performances, to showcase them and this area."
A smart and ebullient personality, Hart holds forth at 328 E. 75th St. "This has been a great addition to the street," says Ald. Roderick Sawyer, 6th, a son of a Chicago mayor (Eugene), lifelong resident of the neighborhood and, to hear Hart tell it, an aficionado of the bakery's "carmel" cake.
"There are certain Chicago neighborhoods that unfairly have been given a bad image, and part of my job is to transform that image," says Sawyer, whose ward also includes the Park Manor, Chatham and West Chesterfield neighborhoods. "This street had been stagnant for so long, and this is all part of its reinvention. There is vitality here that is easy to see."
He is right. The 300 block of E. 75th St., for nearly 60 years home to Lem's Bar-B-Q ("BBQ as God meant it to be," commented one Zagat reviewer), has seen businesses come and go, but there is now a palpable and heartening sense of stability, a neighborhood binding through creativity, commerce and community.
"It is the street that drew me here," Hart says. "The history here. I was made to feel so welcome."
Hart was raised in Detroit, where her grandmother, a native of Mississippi, filled the family home with sweet smells and loaded the kitchen table with cobblers, egg custard pies, sweet potato pies and a variety of cakes. All were made from scratch.
"My grandmother (who died in 1997) could take anything and make it her own. She knew how to enliven the flavors with things so appreciated in our African-American history and heritage," Hart says.
Hart moved to the Chicago area in 1977 and worked for many years in the technology field, running her own business for two decades. "But I started to re-create many of my grandmother's recipes — she never wrote anything down — and got pretty good at it. I wanted to share."
In 2004, she opened the first BSB a few blocks to the east on 75th Street, moving into the current space in 2007. The items are chalked on a board behind the counter, and on any afternoon people arrive in a steady stream for enormous slices of such cakes as "carmel" (the store's best seller), coconut, yellow chocolate, double chocolate and the "Porgy & Bess," plus cupcakes, pies, cobblers, cookies, brownies, bread and banana puddings.
You can never be sure what will be available because everything is made by hand earlier in the day. But you can always order ahead at their website.
Frequently people pull off the Dan Ryan Expressway a few blocks west and get some cupcakes to go.
"I live up north but work far south," says Dan Davies, an accountant. "I just started to come here and thought I would get my two kids something special when they did something special. Problem is, I buy four cupcakes but wind up with only three by the time I get home."
The place has free Wi-Fi, so some people are tempted to settle in for a few hours in the room filled with chairs, couches, artwork and earth tones.
That's where I met Tanya Aboukier one afternoon. Her husband, Eddie Elkhatib, has owned one of the block's oldest businesses, A&S Wine and Spirits, at 308 E. 75th St., for more than 20 years (it's been there for 30). In its stylish decor and wide and sophisticated selection, A&S flies in the face of the shabby image many may have of South or West Side liquor stores. This shop would not seem at all out of place if it were plunked down at the tony corner of Halsted Street and Armitage Avenue.
"We think of ourselves as part of this vibrant and sophisticated community. We are not in the business of selling half-pints and candy bars," Aboukier says, adding that A&S hosts special events including wine tastings from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
Hart had been listening to Aboukier talk and was smiling. After advising a customer to get a "turtle" cupcake, topped with a swirl of caramel, chocolate icing and chopped pecans, she begins to mention all the other businesses on the block, gradually expanding her verbal tour a few blocks in each direction.
"There is Looks & Style right next door, and down the street is Soul Vegetarian East and …" she says.
She mentions many more places. I say go have a look, or a listen or a bite.

by LEN LEAR
Scissory-sharp George Reilly, 32, grew up in the East Midlands region of England, about two hours from London. His dream as a teenager was to become a great actor, and he appeared to be on his way when he was accepted into the prestigious Oxford School of Drama. After graduation, however, his road to success, like that of most young actors everywhere, was littered with potholes of stressful, time-consuming auditions with no payoff. Producers and directors began to look like the guy who tells you the bridge is out, and you'll have to spend the night with him.
After a few small roles, George figured his luck might be better in New York City, so he decided to take the plunge in New York's theatrical waters for two years, and if he came close to drowning during those two years, he would return to England, reconsider his options and maybe corkscrew into a different profession. (That was 12 years ago, and he's still here.) "I actually had more luck in New York," said George, "because my British accent was a benefit for getting Shakespearean roles."
After a while, though, George could no longer afford to live in New York, so he moved to the more affordable Philadelphia area, where he could still go to New York for auditions as well as in Philly. In fact, his last acting role was at the Bristol Riverside Theater in lower Bucks County, where he also met fellow actor Laura, whom he wound up marrying two months ago.
In England George had also worked in pubs and been a bar manager in country clubs. In addition, his mother's side of the family was in the Scotch distillery business, and his father's side of the family was in the restaurant and hotel business. And George also played the guitar and fell in love with blues music, which coils around him like a snake.
Those two elements, blues and the bar scene, as close as pack animals for George, eventually dragged him off the stage, apparently for good. "The pub scene is very friendly in England," explained George. "The social atmosphere is so different from here. There professional people might be drinking right next to the people who pick up their trash, and everybody has fun together. Here, though, at least in the big cities, it's much more image-conscious. So many people are more interested in making a certain impression than just having a good time. I was looking for a great blues club where I could hang out, and I could not find it on a reliable basis in Philadelphia."
So George traveled to the Mississippi Delta and Tennessee, where George found the elixir he was seeking — funky blues clubs with a friendly mix of races and social classes, nasty blues musicians and authentic barbecue dishes at affordable prices. "I loved the vibe at these places," said George, "and I decided that I would do everything possible to recreate that feeling in Philly. The social atmosphere, the blues musicians and the food."
Of course, finding a bank to fund such a dream these days is like finding a gold mine at Broad and Chestnut Streets, but fortunately for George, he has a family that supports his dream and is willing to walk out on a high wire with Euros and U.S. currency. (We recently met George's parents, Nick and Suzy, whose forebears come from Ireland and Scotland, respectively, but who currently live in Germany, where Nick works for General Motors. They are charming, delightful people.)
Thanks to his family, on July 30 of this year George opened The Twisted Tail at 509 S. 2nd St. in Headhouse Square, formerly occupied for three years by Kildare's. Divided into three main spaces, The Twisted Tail features a 4,000 square-foot downstairs bar and restaurant with seating for more than 60 people at tables and 25 at a central horseshoe-shaped bar; The Juke Joint, or live music venue on the second floor, with another full bar that runs the length of the room and a capacity of about 100 for performances with tables, a bar and an adjacent "club room," a lounge outfitted with couches, fireplaces, televisions and a shuffleboard.
During our visit last Thursday night, The Juke Joint was packed with a serious jambalaya of customers rockin' to the awesome harmonica-fueled blues band. "Man, this place is just what we need," said the 30-ish guy standing next to me. "I will definitely be back with my buddies! We'll be on regular rotation here."
Before checking out the music scene, four of us had dinner downstairs. Chef Michael Stevenson pushes the possibilities of cooking like a jockey whipping his mount down the homestretch. Most of the dishes we tasted, like the flatbread ($9), "primal chili" ($7), kettle chip-crusted crabcake ($12) and dry-aged cowboy steak ($29) were nirvana, and we were all over the housemade carrot cake and key lime ricotta cheesecake like a hanging curve. The only items less than stellar were a "VooDoo" cocktail and a "dueling ribs" appetizer, which need work. All grilled items are cooked over charcoal.
There is a huge selection of draft and bottled beers and bourbon whiskeys, and there is live music every Wednesday through Sunday night, as well as a blues jam Sundays, 5 to 9, where any musician can come in and play. For more information, call 215-558-2471 or visit www.thetwistedtail.com.

It's Product Review Friday. And we have another toy for your bum to tell you about. It came to us directly from the manufacturer, Nexus. This is the fourth and last of our review of these unique Nexus products.
You have been following all our Nexus reviews, right? If not, you're missing out. You can find them all HERE!
Dr Dick Review Crew members, Mick & Chuck, are here to tell you all about today's toy.
Titus by Nexus —— $62.70
Mick & Chuck
Mick: "We have an interesting prostate massager to tell you about today. It'd called Titus. It's a the slimmer cousin of the Nexus Excel, which was reviewed here earlier."
Chuck: "I wonder how they came up with that name. It's the name of a Roman emperor, ya know. What that has he to do with pleasuring your bung-hole is beyond me."
Mick: "Yeah, I thought it was an odd choice too, but maybe there's a method to their madness. Hey, maybe it's named after the guy who came up with the design; ya know like Titus O'Rilley, or Titus Kawalski. Whatever the reason for calling it Titus we oughtn't lose sight of it's curious, yet very effective, shape. It's curved, it's ribbed and it's slim enough for even a novice butt pirate to use with confidence."
Chuck: "Titus is made of medical grade polypropylene, which is a fancy word for 'hard plastic'. There also a stainless steel ball bearing on one side of the base. This ball bearing smacks ya right on your taint (perineum) when the Titus is lodged in your ass. The other side of the base is your handle. You use this for inserting and for maneuvering Titus into place."
Mick: "It kinda works like a butt plug, but it really doesn't stay in place as well as I would have liked it to. I mean, it's great if I'm sitting on it, but not if I'm standing up or moving around."
Chuck: " I liked the ergonomic shape and the ribbed surface on insertable stalk. The ribbing added some extra stimulation when inserting and removing it."
Mick: "The thing I like most is the dyno-mite orgasms I have with the Titus. I just insert this puppy, sit down on it, rock back and forth and pull my pud. In no time I'm bustin' a nut of cosmic proportion!"
Chuck: "Totally! Oh, and it's waterproof too. So you can lounge in the tub with thing in your hole. I mean come on; every guy winds up playin' with his willie while he's having a soak, right? So why not have something massaging your prostate at the same time."
Mick: "We should also mention that the hard plastic material is nonporous, phthalates-free, hypoallergenic and latex-free. And you can use any kind of lube you want with it. And by all means, do not forget the lube when you're stuffin' this, or anything else in your ass."
Chuck: "Being waterproof also makes it a snap to clean. Soap and warm water does just fine for everyday cleaning. But you can also wipe it down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution. There's a little tool that comes in the package for popping out the ball bearing for a sanitizing cleaning. This toy is made for sharing, so sanitizing is important. We've simply dropped the Titus in a pot of boiling water or popped it in the dishwasher for that total sanitizing effect."

Bats were flying creatures of the night that tended to roost in cave or dark forests.
In the First Age Thuringwethil was Sauron's messenger and took the form of a giant bat with great fingered wings. Lúthien would take her form when she and Beren journeyed to Thangorodrim.[1]
Bats were apparently quite common in the northern parts of Middle-earth. When Bilbo Baggins was walking alone in the tunnels of the Misty Mountains he hear the whirr of bats by his ears so often that it ceased to startle him.[2] As Bilbo and the dwarves marched through Mirkwood they gave up lighting fires at night because they attracted thousands of moths, followed by huge black bats.[3] Bilbo encountered yet another bat in Smaug's lair after the dragon had gone away. This creature, brushing Bilbo's face, caused the hobbit to stumble and his torch to go out (which brought the dwarves to his rescue with more torches).[4] Bats were most famous in Middle-earth for taking the part of the Goblins during the Battle of Five Armies, in which they flew together over the battlefield so densely no light could be seen between their wings.[5]
In Gnomish, one of Tolkien's early conceptions of an Elven language, the word for "bat (animal)" is cwildred.[6]
Other fiction
In the story Roverandom, the shadowbats are mentioned among the creatures living on the moon.[7]

- Description
Amron's 8890-100 Oxygen Treatment Hood Assembly (8891-01) with Trimmed Latex Neck Seal, Neck Ring with O-ring, Multipurpose Plug, Flex Tubing, Humidifier, Adapters, Tubing Support Hanger and Cable Tie is the leading oxygen hood on the market and easily sets the standard for all others. This product has been recently redesigned based directly on your feedback and is CE and FDA Registered.
Amron's Oxygen Treatment Hood was designed for clinical hyperbaric chambers with the patient's comfort in mind and its ease-of-use for the attendant. The hood is comprised of clear medical-grade vinyl with an optical quality, extra-large viewing window on the front. Cleaning this O2 hood is simpler for the attendant now that the hood is welded to the neck ring, reducing the risk of bacteria being trapped in between the neck ring and hood.
The oblong shaped neck ring is larger than its predecessor, making it much easier for the attendant to place the Amron hoods over the patient's head (essentially the larger neck ring now has a universal fit where one size fits most patients). The redesigned neck ring now has two square neck seal grooves on it, which provides for a more secure attachment of the neck seal to the neck ring. Amron's neck seals are supplied with accurate and easy-to-size trim lines that ensures proper patient fit every time.
An optional pneumatic entertainment system occupies patients during their treatments. They may listen to music or video sources in complete comfort. A patient-operated volume control and channel selector reduces interruptions to attending nurses or chamber operators. No electrical power is ever supplied directly to the hood, which ensures safe operation.
The neck ring was developed to withstand multiple cycles in an autoclave. The reusable neck ring has a conveniently located multipurpose plug port as well as supply and exhaust hose ports, with an accompanying O-ring seal for the vinyl hood attachment. The supply and exhaust locations allow oxygen to circulate easily through the hood at reduced noise levels. As a soft flow of gas helps to cool the patient, the optical-quality viewing window is continuously being defogged.
Note: The neck seal contains natural rubber latex which can cause allergic reactions. Please select the Medical Grade Silicone model if you believe the patient may have a latex sensitivity or allergy.
Caution: Federal law (USA) mandates that Amron can only sell this product to physicians and/or licensed clinical practitioners.
Note: U.S. Patent 9,931,482
Product FAQ's
What is your official recommended oxygen flow rate for the Amron patient hyperbaric oxygen treatment hood?
Adjust all the appropriate flow control devices between 25-50 liters per minute. As the hood inflates, adjust the supply and exhaust flow controls to stabilize the hood pressure.
NOTE: Excessive flow will overinflate the hood, and insufficient flow will collapse the hood. Flow rates will vary with chamber delivery systems, user lung volume, and breathing rate. Proper Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels should be verified within the hood through the multi-purpose port and the use of an Oxygen analyzer and Carbon Dioxide analyzer such as the Analox 1000 Oxygen Monitor and Analox 5001 Carbon Dioxide Monitor.
Can I purchase an Oxygen Treatment Hood for private use?No, Federal law (USA) mandates that Amron can only sell this device to physicians and/or licensed clinical practitioners.
What is the internal volume of the Oxygen Treatment Hood?1533.98 in³.
How many feet of flex tubing are included with the Oxygen Treatment Hood Assembly?20 feet.
The method of cleaning as stated in the general instructions does not suit our unit due to the clean area that would be required to drip dry the hoods. Is there any other approved method of cleaning?
We only have two methods approved for cleaning.
1) The first is spraying Sanizide and letting the hood sit for 10 minutes.
2) The second is gas sterilization using the method below:
- Low - 4 hours at 100 degrees Fahrenheit with an aeration time of 36 hours
- High - 1 hour at 130 degrees Fahrenheit with an aeration time of 12 hours
Using the gas sterilization will shorten the life of the hood but we have many customers that use it and are very happy with the results.
My 8891-005 Latex Neck Seal comes off my Oxygen Treatment Hood Ring really easily. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?There is most likely to much corn starch on the bottom ring of the latex neck seal. Amron recommends using a damp cloth to remove the corn starch from the bottom ring of the neck seal.

Ontario Graduate Schools For Public Administration
Some of the things students examine in Public Administration Graduate Schools include policy, economics, tactical planning, and management. Most public administration graduate programs take a close look at what leaders need to know and be able to do in public, governmental and nonprofit sector careers. Graduates may take away sharp decision skills that could make a positive impact on modern problems faced at different levels of the community.

Public Administration Graduate Schools: Overview
Public Administration Graduate Schools may offer certificates and confer degrees such as the MPA (Master of Public Administration) and DPA (Doctor of Public Administration). Programs may be housed in a university's business, public affairs, government or justice school, so make sure to review course lists and program objectives.
Masters in Public Administration programs sometimes target mid-career students though many programs are built for those who want to launch a career. A full-time student without work experience might complete their degree in about two years.
Doctoral degrees in Public Administration generally build on a prior graduate degree and might entail a devoted curiosity to research. Full-time students who enter with a masters degree may complete their degree in about four years.
3 Courses You Might Take
as a Public Administration Grad Student
One of the unique qualities of each public administration grad school is its course list. We have narrowed down three courses that students may come across. Use them as examples, then peer inside the curricula of the schools on your list or ask them for this information.
Foundations of Public Administration: Students might look at the major questions, answers and concerns that frame the discipline today and may examine theories from political, social and cultural contexts
Strategic Management in the Public Sector: Coursework might explore modern techniques and tools for using strategic management to handle current governmental issues
Public Sector Financial Analysis: May stretch the analytical mind with forecasting methods, performance measurement, activity-based costing and expenditure analysis techniques
1 - MPA- Master of Public Administration
An MPA is a professional masters degree. It is often thought of as the public-sector equivalent to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in that it aims to ready students with action-oriented leadership skills for modern times where leadership needs to be fiscally responsible and respectful of its diverse citizens.
In 2015-16 1,065 Doctorate Degrees in Public Administration were awarded. In the same period 46,751 people were awarded Masters Degrees in Public Administration.
Topics MPA Students Might Learn
Most MPA programs highlight accountability, transparency, ethics, privacy and community involvement. In tandem, students typically take courses that relate to the nitty-gritty of strategy and smart management when it comes to finance, public policy, governance and human resources. See a sample MPA course list below.
- Principles of Public Administration
- Public Sector and Non-Profit Organization Budget Processes
- Human Resource Management for Public and Non-Profit Organizations
- Strategic Communications
- Data Analytics and IT
- Human Diversity and Social Justice
- Public Policy and Law
MPA Requirements (General)
When it comes to MPA degree requirements, students may need to complete about 36 – 39 credit hours. This usually includes a solid core sequence which all participants take as well as a student-selected area of emphasis, research/internship and capstone. Thus, the MPA may be both flexible and highly-focused on all aspects of public management.
Graduates might also take away the ability to take part in and contribute to the policy process. Certain courses may be helpful to learn how to analyze, synthesize, think critically, solve problems, and make decisions. Others may improve one's ability to communicate and interact with diverse groups and in diverse settings.
Apply to MPA Schools
Want to apply to MPA Schools? Here are several things an applicant might need – along with completed form and fee.
- Bachelor's degree from any field from an accredited institution
- Personal statement
- Letters of recommendation
- Professional resume
Offered online or in a hybrid model (online and on-ground) at our Providence Campus. Special tracks in Health Care Administration and Public Management.
EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.
Pursue an MPA Degree in One of These Concentrations
Most Public Administration Graduate Schools offer areas of emphasis though these vary from place to place. We examine several possible choices below. Pursue an MPA in an area that lines up with professional plans and personal interests.
- Nonprofit Management – Explore elements such as fundraising and finance
- Emergency Management – Understand the specifics of leadership, risk and disaster response
- Global Affairs – Examine the structures, policies and management issues in international relations
- Public Policy – Add an element of analysis to assess problems and craft solutions
- Public Management – Study how to assess an organization's performance and employee relations
- Health Care Management – Look more deeply into
In some schools, each emphasis may entail about four courses.
2 - DPA - Doctor of Public Administration
A Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) is a terminal degree for practitioners. The themes of analysis, strategy, leadership and research methods are central to many DPA degree course plans.
DPA programs may ask students to evaluate modern theories and practices in public administration. Students usually conduct their own research and may work to develop an action-oriented approach to resolve a gap in the field. This may be presented in a final dissertation.
Topics DPA Students Might Learn
In terms of courses, doctoral students might hone their leadership style as they study topics such as public-sector policy analysis and various administrative processes. Some examples of topics are listed below. Make sure to scan course lists to see other requirements.
- Public Administration Strategic Accounting & Finance
- Operational Strategic Management and Planning
- Ethics in the Public Sector
- Organizational Leadership and Theory
- Survey of Research Methods
- Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
DPA courses may be delivered in-person as seminars with small class sizes to facilitate student-faculty interactions. To accommodate students' busy schedules, some graduate schools for Public Administration might offer courses on a cycle and/or on weekends.
While it is possible for this to vary, a Doctor of Public Administration could entail about 48 credits. The curriculum may largely be geared to at-work public administration professionals, senior-level public managers and prospective faculty.
Apply to DPA Schools
Want to apply to a DPA Program? Applicants may need to meet specific requirements, set by individual schools per their standards. The minimum educational requirement is a bachelors degree and a master's degree, from a regionally accredited college or university. Some schools may specify a background in a major such as public administration, public affairs, policy analysis, public health or nonprofit management.
Alternatively, one may be able to substitute their years of significant public management or related work experience. If this sounds like you, there may be some coursework to make up and plan out. Applicants may need to send completed form and fee with the following material.
- GRE Scores
- Letters of Reference
- Resume/Curriculum Vitae
3 - Graduate Certificate in Public Administration
Some Public Administration Graduate Schools may allow non-degree students to work towards a graduate certificate. A graduate certificate in public administration usually just targets a single theme – similar to a concentration in credit weight.
Students who want to build a fresh set of skills might find this useful, and it may be possible to transfer credit(s) towards a graduate degree later. These policies are set by individual schools as are admission requirements.
While not of the same academic weight, certificates entail a sequence of graduate-level courses which could provide both instruction and practical skills. For instance, students who want to understand persuasion and social influence might pursue a Certificate in Public Service Communication.
This type of program might ready graduates to create persuasive, effective, and ethical messages that reach diverse audiences in the nonprofit and public sectors. Graduates might take away a solid grasp of how to craft and deliver information in times of crisis or convey key points about new policies in the public sphere.
NASPAA Accreditation
Graduate schools for public administration may be regionally accredited. Regionally accredited Public Administration graduate schools may be members of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). NASPAA Accreditation is a peer review and quality assurance process for graduate-level, masters degree programs in public policy, affairs, and administration.
Why Pursue a Public Administration Graduate Degree on Campus?
Many Public Administration Graduate Schools aim to provide students with a personalized, practical, hands-on educational experience. Sometimes classes are described as 'small' which may mean students do not feel lost in the crowd, but rather encouraged to learn and grow.
There may be different levels of participation to look forward to both in and outside the classroom. In class, students might take part in team projects or learning experiences that add flavor to textbook theory. Outside of class, many universities offer robust co-curricular activities and student resources.
Plus, many of today's universities strive to attract at-work professionals and may offer courses in the evenings and weekends. Interested searchers could look for a local university or narrow down a specific city and state to study public administration there.

ACA website hearing takeaways
So now we know the contractors' side of the Obamacare website debacle: They did a great job, the bad decisions weren't their fault, and they're fixing it.
Thursday's standing-room-only hearing on the snakebit federal Obamacare enrollment website, HealthCare.gov, saw a parade of witnesses who weren't about to take responsibility for the disaster. We just do what the client asks, they said — and in this case, the client was the Obama administration.
Story Continued Below
But the hearing by the House Energy and Commerce Committee also showed that Republicans are capable of prying out some answers to the practical questions that most Americans want answered — though some of them can't stop themselves from airing their deep-seated antipathy to Obamacare in general. Democrats proved they're just mad enough about the website that they'll take a few whacks at the gang that built it, too.
And the witnesses proved that government contracting means never having to say you're sorry.
(WATCH: Website contractors grilled at Obamacare hearing)
Here are the top takeaways from the hearing:
Buck-passing bureaucrats
The main value of the hearing was to give the public a sense of who these contractors were. And what they saw was a group of self-praising, unapologetic corporate officials who talked in bureaucratic terms, passed the buck on the breakdowns — and said the website is getting better all the time.
Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president at CGI Federal, the main contractor that designed the website, said it wasn't her place to tell the Obama administration to delay the launch. That decision was up to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that oversees Obamacare, she said.
And why, she was asked, didn't she warn the committee when she testified in mid-September that there hadn't been any "end-to-end testing" of the entire website and all other systems that work with it? "It was not our area of responsibility to do end-to-end testing," she said.
( PODCAST: Questioning Obamacare glitches - who knew what, when?)
Campbell had a bit of trouble rising above technical and public relations talk. When asked why CGI didn't warn Congress in September that there were going to be problems, she replied: "We were not part of the end-to-end visibility throughout the system."
And don't worry, Campbell said — the website is getting better. Why? Because CGI has an "unwavering commitment to working collaboratively to improve the consumer experience."
That's pretty much how it went with the other contractors, too. Andrew Slavitt of Quality Software Services Inc., which built the "data hub" that pulls income levels and other eligbility information from federal agencies, says he told the Medicare agency about problems his firm discovered with the code for the main website before the launch — but he didn't say they should delay it.
( PHOTOS: Obamacare online glitches: 25 great quotes)
Lynn Spellecy of Equifax Workforce Solutions, which verifies people's incomes so they can get a subsidy, said "our solution was ready to go Oct. 1" because it had been completely tested. Later, when Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois said "I know you tested" the income verification system, she just laughed — as if to say, "Good, I'm safe."
And John Lau of Serco, which handles the paper applications, pointed out that his company had nothing to do with the website and relies on it just like everyone else. He got off easy in the questions, too.
No apologies
One word never uttered by any of the contractors: "Sorry."
The most any of them would say was that they're working hard to fix the problems with the $600 million-plus website — and that they're not proud of how the different parts of the website came together.
"We're not excited, nor are we pleased, by the product that we delivered on Oct. 1, but in principle it worked" because some people have been able to use it to sign up, Campbell said.
"We do accept that there are challenges. There's no question that there are problems, and we're working together to solve those problems," she said.
( Also on POLITICO: Contractors grilled on the Hill)
Over to you, Sebelius
Thanks to all the buck passing, the hearing ramps up the pressure on the two star administration witnesses who will testify at back-to-back hearings next week. On Tuesday, Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will be grilled by the House Ways and Means Committee — which is sure to ask her about all the decisions Campbell said were up to her agency.
And on Wednesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — Tavenner's boss and the administration official who's under the most fire over the breakdowns — is expected to give her side of the story to the Energy and Commerce panel.
Both are sure to be asked why the administration didn't call off the Oct. 1 launch after Slavitt's firm reported the code problems — especially given that the main contractors didn't think two weeks was enough time to conduct the end-to-end testing for such a massive IT project. That testing didn't take place until the last two weeks of September.
( PHOTOS: 10 Sebelius quotes about the Obamacare website)
"Months would have been nice," Slavitt said. Campbell agreed, saying, "we would have loved to have had months to do this."
Sebelius told CNN's Sanjay Gupta this week that the administration had to go ahead with the launch because "there are people in this country who have waited decades for affordable health coverage."
They're also likely to be asked why the administration asked CGI, two weeks before launch, to turn off the feature that would have let consumers browse health plans without setting up an account — a decision that led to huge bottlenecks in the system. Campbell said the website had been built with that feature, and "we would be more than happy to turn it on" if CMS asked.
It didn't take much prodding for Campbell to cough up other names of other CMS officials, either. When Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) asked her who made the decision to turn off the browsing feature, she said, "I don't have the exact name of the person. I would say – Henry Chao?" (He's the deputy chief information officer at the agency.)
Campbell also cited Michelle Snyder, the agency's chief operating officer, as another CMS official who made key decisions. Don't be surprised if they get hauled in front of one of the House committees, too — or at least get questioned behind closed doors.


text: We've Learned from our Forage Mistakes May 6, 2013 08:13 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor **Extended comments are highlighted in blue. Nick Vande Weerd Brookings, S.D. The Vande Weerd family is majority owner and manager of Pleasant Dutch Dairy, which milks 1,400 Holsteins. To maximize forage quality, we start with high-quality forage, then harvest and store it correctly. We have made mistakes such as harvesting at the wrong moisture and storing incorrectly, which turned quality forage into poor forage. Not only do we have a goal of delivering high-quality forage to our cows, but we also want to maximize income over feed costs. When we evaluate our rations and want to make a ration change to our main lactating herd, we try to only change one or two pens at first to see how the cows respond. There are times when harvesting high-quality forages correctly can be challenging. We experimented with harvesting balage two years ago. We used a square baler that processed the alfalfa with knives. The alfalfa was cut down to 4" to 6". We then wrapped the bales and let them ferment for a month. The bales broke up very well since they were pre-processed, but the bales on the high side of moisture did not turn out well. Due to an imminent rainstorm, we baled balage as high as 72% moisture. We discovered that it would have been better to let it rain on the alfalfa. The balage we did above 68% moisture didn't turn out. Harvesting alfalfa at 65% to 68% was variable, meaning some created great feed and some did not. We found the best, most consistent balage was made from alfalfa that ranged between 45% to 60% moisture. Harvesting forages at the correct moisture helps deliver quality forage to the cows, but if it was not stored correctly, it will not make a difference how it was harvested. We have had great success with reducing mold and spoilage by using oxygen barrier film in addition to regular 6 ml plastic when covering our silage piles. In most circumstances, the oxygen barrier film has reduced spoilage on the top of silage piles to the point that it has been undetectable to the naked eye. The maximum amount I have ever seen is 3" when proper coverage immediately after harvesting has been completed -- and that isn't very common. Besides delivering high-quality forage, we are also focused on maximizing our income over feed costs margins. When we want to introduce a new ration to our lactating cows, we first experiment with a couple of pens to see how they respond. Depending on how they respond, we either introduce the new ration to the rest of the lactating pens or continue with the current ration. We have found that sometimes a ration's performance on paper doesn't always translate to reality at the feed bunk. We would rather not switch the entire herd to a new ration that doesn't perform the way we think it should. In the end, in order to deliver high-quality forages to your cows, you will need to start with high-quality forages, then harvest and store them correctly. Also, sometimes cows forget to read the textbook and don't produce on a given ration like they are supposed to. So, we are cautious when switching to a new ration, feeding it to a small test group first and observing the results. In the end, in order to deliver high-quality forages to your cows, you will need to start with high quality forages. In addition, they must be harvested and stored correctly. Also, sometimes cows forget to read the textbook and don't produce on a given ration like they are supposed to. So, we are cautions when switching to a new ration.

Getting Started
Searching for a good software and not trash looking for writing sheet music in linux? LilyPond! Are you tired of pointing and clicking? LilyPond! Are you tired of having dual-boot systems so you could just write music? LilyPond! Are you tired of cracks and illegal software? LilyPond!
Torn between two operating systems.
My only barrier on deleting Windows from my hard disk was that i am an artist. I was searching for a good comercial software for writing sheet music. I was waiting for years on Sibelius Software to give a port for linux but like they didn't care. But due to their lack of interest i have found this amazing software that i could only dream off.
How to install?
For a quick start:
~# pacman -S lilypond
To see how this software realy works create a text file called 'test.ly' and enter:
~# cat > test.ly { c' e' g' e' }
and then hit Ctrl+D to save. To process 'test.ly', proceed as follows:
~# lilypond test.ly
It will create test.pdf and test.ps files. Open it with your favorite viewer.
Which editor to use?
- jEdit with lilyPondTools plugin.
~# pacman -S jedit
Open jEdit and go to Plugins -> Plugin Manager. Select Install tab and click on LilyPondTools. Hit the Install button.
- If you do not like Java, use Vim with the possibilities of compiling the code within the program along with syntax coloring tools and indenting. First install vim editor.
~# pacman -S vim
Go to this Lilypond website [1] and follow the instructions on how to enable the vim mode. The next thing you need to do is enable the syntaxses. To do so edit ~/.vimrc with your favorite editor and after editing your file should look like this:
~# nano ~/.vimrc set runtimepath+=/usr/share/lilypond/2.12.3/vim/ syntax on " Turn on colors filetype plugin on " Enables the ftplugin options set autoindent " Automaticaly indent while writing.
Now when you edit a *.ly file you can compile your code with <F5> button. Config file is in "/usr/share/lilypond/2.12.3/vim/ftplugin/lilypond.vim" and you can read your options there and edit it.
Speed up writing notes
One other thing that i discoverd is LilyComp [2]. Its purpose is to speed up writing notes. You need python and tk to use it. I had to edit two lines (67 and 68) in lilycomp.py to enable deutsch.ly dictionary for sharp and flat symbols. It uses absolute notation (\relative is not used.)
More usefull info
- For JEdit: Under plugins install LookAndFeel. You can find good stuff under Visual.
For better usability my settings are: under Global Options -> Docking put the Console and Error List to right and LilyPond PDF preview to bottom under Docking position. Then under View push Alternate docked window placement and Alternate tool bar placement buttons.
- For tutorial on how to use this software visit LilyPond [3] website.

Baseball Wins Series Opener in 13 Innings
Communications Sr. Associate
OXFORD, Miss. - Designated hitter Grant Dozar's RBI single in the top of the 13th inning Friday night lifted fourth-ranked LSU to a 4-3 win over No. 24 Ole Miss at Swayze Field.
LSU improved to 37-10 overall and 15-7 in the SEC. The Tigers are tied with South Carolina for first place in the overall league standings, and LSU has a four-game lead over Arkansas in the SEC Western Division. Ole Miss dropped to 30-17 overall and 10-12 in conference play.
The series resumes at 2 p.m. CT Saturday with sophomore right-hander Ryan Eades starting on the mound for LSU. Ole Miss will counter with sophomore right-hander Bobby Wahl.
Dozar was 2-for-5 on the night with a homer and two RBI. His solo blast with two outs in the top of the eighth tied the game at 3-3.
The Tigers finally broke the tie in the top of the 13th when Ole Miss reliever R.J. Hively issued a one-out walk to leftfielder Raph Rhymes, and Rhymes moved to third on a single by first baseman Tyler Moore. Dozar grounded a Hively pitch deep in the hole at shortstop, allowing Rhymes to score the go-ahead run.
Junior right-hander Nick Goody earned his ninth save, pitching around a one-out walk to preserve the win. Junior right-hander Joey Bourgeois (2-2), the fifth of six LSU pitchers, was credited with the win as he pitched a scoreless 12th inning, allowing one hit with two walks and a strikeout.
LSU is now 10-3 this season in SEC games decided by one run. The Tigers improved to 3-1 on the year in extra-inning games.
"This was a tremendous team victory," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "I thought our players showed great poise in a very difficult place to play. I'm so happy for Grant Dozar, a senior who means so much to our team. He delivered twice in clutch situations, and our pitching kept us in the game until Grant finally got us the big hit.
Hively (4-4) was charged with the loss, as he allowed two runs on four hits in six innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
LSU grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on a solo homer by first baseman Tyler Moore, his third dinger of the season.
The Tigers extended the advantage to 2-0 in the third when shortstop Austin Nola singled, moved to second on rightfielder Mason Katz's groudout and scored on a single by Rhymes.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – All 14 Tennessee Tech athletic teams comfortably exceeded the standard for the multi-year Athletic Progress Rate (APR), announced Tuesday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Five of Tech's 14 teams had perfect one-year rates of 1,000, and 10 of Tech's 14 teams ranked among the top five schools in the Ohio Valley Conference. Compared to all programs nationwide, the Golden Eagle football team ranks in the top 25 percent of all Division I football teams, the softball program is in the top five percent and the women's golf team ranks in the top one percent.
"These are extremely positive numbers," said Mark Wilson, Director of Athletics. "We take a great deal of pride in the academic success of all our teams, and these APR rates verify, once again, that we are successfully fulfilling our mission toward our student-athletes.
"Success in our APR numbers speaks to the diligence of our student-athletes," Wilson said. "Our students are coming in better prepared when they enter Tennessee Tech, and they are staying on track to earn their degrees."
The five Golden Eagle teams which achieved perfect scores for
the most recent year in the report, 2011-12, are men's cross
country and tennis, women's golf, soccer an volleyball.
In the multi-year rates, the women's golf team tied for the highest APR in the OVC at 1,000, matching Austin Peay and Eastern Illinois. The softball (997), men's basketball (966) and football (964) teams all ranked second in the OVC. Ranking fourth in the OVC were the soccer and baseball teams, while the tennis, volleyball, indoor track and outdoor track all ranked fifth among OVC schools.
"These kinds of APR numbers continue to point out that our student-athletes and our staff continue to take seriously our goal of stressing the importance of academic success," Wilson said. "Our coaches, our academic support system and personnel, and our student-athletes are doing a good job."
Student-athletes across Division I increased or maintained academic success across all sports, according to the latest NCAA Academic Progress Rates.
The most recent four-year Division I APR is 974, up one point over last year. The average four-year rate also rose two points in men's and women's basketball, while the rates held steady in baseball and football.
NCAA President Mark Emmert noted that 10 years after its creation, the APR continues to encourage student-athletes to succeed in the classroom and campuses to support them in their education.
"These are strong and meaningful academic standards, and we are pleased to witness the continued improvement of student-athletes' academic performance," Emmert said. "The NCAA and its member schools believe in supporting success both on and off the playing field. As educators, we must continue to embrace our role in providing the necessary skills to continue this high achievement."
Every Division I sports team calculates its APR each academic year, based on the eligibility, graduation and retention of each scholarship student-athlete. Teams scoring below certain thresholds can face consequences, such as practice restrictions and restrictions on postseason competition. Rates are based on the past four years' performance.
In the NCAA's high profile sports, the average four-year APR for men's basketball is 952, up two points from last year. Women's basketball is up two points to 972, while football and baseball remained steady at 949 and 965 respectively.
The number of student-athletes who left school while ineligible has decreased significantly each year since the APR began and is now at an all-time low. Over the past nine years, the rate of baseball, men's basketball and football student-athletes who have left campus while ineligible has been roughly cut in half. Only 2.1 percent of all student-athletes represented in the 2011-12 data left school while academically ineligible.
Further, more than 11,500 student-athletes have returned to campus and earned their degrees since the creation of APR. Of these student-athletes, approximately half competed in the high-profile sports of baseball, men's basketball, football and women's basketball.
"The former student-athletes who have returned to school and completed their degree are a powerful testament to the value of education," said Emmert. "Graduation is the goal, and I commend each and every one of these former athletes for celebrating the 'student' in 'student-athlete.'"

Just days after a mysterious incident in which she was reportedly attacked at a Newark motel by an ex-boyfriend, Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer said Tuesday that she has enrolled in a program to be treated for chemical dependency.
Lockyer, 40, the wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, said in a statement that she entered a "wellness and recovery center" last week for treatment of the unspecified chemical dependency and "my injuries from the assault."
She also said she was being treated for "chronic pain from a past debilitating car accident," without giving specifics.
"Alcoholism and addiction are diseases from which many of us suffer, and unfortunately I have not been spared," Nadia Lockyer said. "I understand that the public and the press have an interest in the health of their elected officials. That is why I am publicly disclosing my medical condition and that I am seeking treatment."
The statement did not say how long the treatment may take, only that she planned to continue "doing the work I was elected to do."
Few details have been released about the incident that apparently led Lockyer to enroll in the treatment center.
According to Newark police logs, a 911 call came in at 2:40 a.m. Feb. 3 from the Homewood Suites on Cedar Boulevard regarding an altercation involving a man and a woman.
"The male left prior to officers arriving," the log said. "The female suffered injuries to her head and neck. She was medically treated."
Bill Lockyer told us that he and his wife argued over the phone earlier in the evening, and that when Nadia Lockyer hung up, she headed off to the hotel to meet with a former boyfriend.
She portrayed the boyfriend as a troubled person and "thought he was having a crisis," said Bill Lockyer, who added that he and his wife had recently reunited after a separation. "She thought she could get him to calm down.
"He turned out to be angry … and she was violently assaulted by someone she was trying to help,'' Lockyer said. He said the ex-boyfriend "seems to have a long history of involvement with the criminal justice system."
No one has been arrested, but police handed the case over to the District Attorney Nancy O'Malley on Feb. 6. Since then, said O'Malley spokeswoman Teresa Drenick, prosecutors been "following up on the documents provided by Newark police."
Drenick declined to say whether Nadia Lockyer had been interviewed or whether the alleged attacker had been brought in for questioning, saying only that it was an "ongoing investigation."
Nadia Lockyer did not mention the incident in her statement, except to say that the account in our column Sunday was "generally true" and that it would take her "some time to heal" from her injuries.
The statement gave no indication of when Lockyer may return to work on the Board of Supervisors representing a district that includes Hayward, Newark, Union City and Fremont. Lockyer was elected to the board in 2010 with considerable help from her husband's stockpile of campaign cash.
"I know it is a fine line to walk between private and public life," she said in her statement. "But I hope everyone will understand where that line should be drawn so that I can heal myself and my family while continuing to do the work I was elected to do."
Colleagues on the board said they had noticed that Lockyer dropped a fair amount of weight in recent months. But "I didn't put a lot into it," as there was nothing abnormal about her overall behavior, said fellow Supervisor Keith Carson.
"At our recent retreat, she appeared fully engaged," Carson said.

Back to Main Page / Back to List of Rules
Rule 86. Plea of Privilege (1962)
A plea of privilege to be sued in the county of one's residence shall be in writing and sworn to, and shall state that the party claiming such privilege was not, at the institution of such suit, nor at the time of the service of process therein, nor at the time of filing such plea, a resident of the county in which suit was instituted, and shall state the county of his residence, and the post office address of himself or his attorney and that "no exception to exclusive venue in the county of one's residence provided by law exists in said cause."
A plea of privilege to be sued in a county other than the county of one's residence shall be in writing and sworn to and shall state that the party filing the plea is asserting venue under and by virtue of one or more specific statutory provisions which shall be clearly designated or indicated.
When a plea of privilege is filed in accordance with this rule, it shall be prima facie proof of the defendant's right to change of venue; provided that such plea shall not constitute a denial under oath of any allegations of plaintiff's petition required to be denied under oath by Rule 93 unless specifically alleged in such plea. A copy of such plea of privilege shall be served on the adverse party or his attorney of record by actual delivery in person to him or by mailing a copy of such pleading to him by registered mail return receipt requested; If such adverse party desires to controvert the plea of privilege, he shall within ten days after he or his attorney of record received the copy of the plea of privilege file a controverting plea under oath, setting out specifically the grounds relied upon to confer venue of such cause on the court where the cause is pending.
Amended by order of April 12, 1962, eff. Sept. 1, 1962: Requisites of plea of privilege to be sued in county other than the county of one's residence prescribed, and note regarding 1943 amendment rewritten.

(No. 48) Question: Is a plea of privilege wherein the defendant fails to "state ... the post office address of himself or his attorney" as required by Rules 86 and527, sufficient to require a controverting affidavit, in view of the provisions of Rule 87 providing that "such … hearing shall not be had until a copy of such controverting plea ... shall have been mailed by registered mail to the defendant o r his attorney at the post office address stated in such plea of privilege at least 10 days before the date set for the hearing"?
Answer: In our opinion the question should be answered in the affirmative, provided the plea of privilege states the county of the defendant's residence and has all the other requisites prescribed by Rule 86 and merely fails to state the post office address of the defendant or his attorney.
The provision of the rule which requires the plea of privilege to state the post office address of the defendant or his attorney does not relate to the sufficiency of the plea as to venue, but was merely inserted in order to facilitate the delivery to the defendant of the controverting affidavit. Therefore the failure to give such post office address might tend to excuse the plaintiff's failure to mail his controverting affidavit to the defendant, but it would not constitute such a fatal defect in the plea of privilege as to eliminate the necessity of the plaintiff's filing a controverting affidavit.
5 Tex. B.J. 287 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 20 (1945).
(No. 50) Question: Does the plaintiff show good cause in not filing his controverting affidavit within the ten days period (Rules 86 and 87) by proving that defendant failed to furnish him with a copy of the plea of privilege (Rules 72 and 73)? The question is stated in another form: After filing suit can the plaintiff disregard it until he is furnished with a copy of the plea of privilege?
Answer: Rule 72 providing for delivery or mailing to the adverse party or, his attorney of record of any pleading, plea, or motion "which is not by law or by these rules required to be served upon the adverse party" is a wholesome rule and ought to be, and we think will be, readily complied with by the attorneys because of its mutual advantage to them. Nevertheless, the Committee thinks that the Rule is directory and failure to deliver to the plaintiff a copy of the plea of privilege does not dispense with the necessity of the plaintiff's filing a controverting plea; but it may constitute grounds for an extension of the time within which plaintiff should file the controverting plea. Although attorneys have a duty to keep in touch with the developments in their cases, the extent to which they should inspect the records is naturally affected to some extent by Rule 72 requiring the delivery to them by their adversaries of copies of all pleadings, pleas or motions filed in the case.
Under Rule 5, which permits the enlargement of the time within which a specified act is required or allowed to be done, and the liberal construction required by Rule 1 to be given to all the rules in order to adjudicate "the rights of litigants under established principles of substantive law," a wide discretion is vested in the courts in dealing with questions of the character raised in your inquiry. We are of opinion that the courts have the power, upon consideration of all the facts and circumstances, and in the interest of justice, to permit a controverting affidavit to be filed after the expiration of ten days from appearance day upon compliance by the plaintiff with the provisions of Rule 5. When requests for enlargement are applied for under this Rule each case, must necessarily be determined by the court upon its own facts in accordance with the right of the case.
Ordinarily, where the plaintiff and his attorney have no notice or knowledge of the fact that a plea of privilege has been filed, and the defendant has failed to deliver a copy thereof as required by Rule 72, we would be inclined to feel that this would constitute good cause under Rule 5 for granting of an extension of time for the filing of a controverting plea. This would not render nugatory and void that part of Rule 86 quoted in correspondent's letter, as the filing of a controverting plea would still be a prerequisite to the overruling of a proper plea of privilege. It would merely have a bearing upon the time within which the controverting plea could be filed.
5 Tex. B.J. 426 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 24 (1945).
(No. 104) Question: Rule 86 of our civil practice provides for filing plea of privilege to be sued in the county of one's residence. What should be the contents of a plea where one is sued for land that is not situated in the county where the suit is brought, e.g. trespass to try title?
Answer: The jurisdiction of the courts and the venue of actions therein were not extended or limited by the adoption of the rules (Rule 816).
Subdivision 14 of the general venue statute (Article 1995) provides that suits for the recovery of lands or damages thereto "must be brought in the county in which the land, or a part thereof, may lie." While this requirement appears to be mandatory, it is settled that this subdivision prescribes the venue in such actions, that it does not relate to jurisdiction and may therefore be waived. South Texas Dev. Co. v. Williams, 130 Tex. 217, 107 S.W.2d 378 (1937).
If a suit in trespass to try title is not commenced in the county where the land or some part thereof lies, the defendant who prefers to try the case in the county where the land lies rather than in the county where the suit is brought may seasonably claim the right to have the case transferred to the county where the land lies. In such event the plea of privilege, sworn to and filed in due time, should allege that it appears from plaintiff's petition, if that be the case, or that, as a matter of fact, the suit is not brought in the county where the land or some part thereof lies as required by subdivision 14 of Article 1995 and that the cause should be transferred to that county. In this sense the statute is mandatory and the cause must be transferred. Rule 93 (a); Shell Petroleum Corp. v. Grays, 122 Tex. 491, 62 S.W.2d 113 (1933); South Texas Dev. Co. v. Williams, 130 Tex. 217, 107 S.W.2d 378 (1937). If, however, the defendant does not file a plea of privilege to be sued in the county where the land lies, answer should be filed within the time required by the rules in the county where the suit is brought and the trial should be there proceeded within due course.
The Supreme Court has held that a plea of privilege under Article 2007, which is substantially the same as Rule 86, is sufficient to cover all cases of personal privilege and all cases of mere venue as provided by the various provisions of Articles 1995 and 2390 relating to venue. Jeffries v. Dunklin, 131 Tex. 289, 115 S.W.2d 391 (1938).
Therefore, if the defendant resides out of the county in which the suit is pending so as to authorize the affidavit of nonresidence, the plea of privilege can follow the exact form outlined by Rule 86, and it will be sufficient to cover subdivision 14 of the Venue Statute without any express allegation concerning the location of the land. But, as hereinabove stated, an alternative form is authorized under the decisions, and the plea can omit allegations as to the defendant's residence and embody in lieu thereof the allegations as to the location of the land and the nature of the suit as above set out. Either form is sufficient under the rule as construed by the decisions.

California Department of Transportation
District 12 - Orange County
Tracey Lavelle – (949) 724-2031 - Caltrans
Joel Zlotnik - (714) 560-5713 - OCTA
June 14, 2010
Irvine – Caltrans and the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) broke ground today on the $323 million West County Connector Project, which will bring congestion relief where three major freeways (Interstate 405, Interstate 605, and State Route 22) converge. The project is partially funded ($49.5 million) by President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The remaining funding comes from Proposition 1B ($186 million), the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond championed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and by the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality program ($87 million).
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's team to ensure stimulus dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly to stimulate the economy, and in this instance – invest in the future of California's transportation infrastructure," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This two-phase project traverses the cities of Garden Grove, Westminster, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, and the community of Rossmoor. The project will reduce congestion by creating a seamless bus/carpool lanes link on the San Diego Freeway (I-405) with those on the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) and San Gabriel Freeway (I-605). The project is expected to be completed by summer 2014.
"This project will strengthen the region's economy with jobs and improve the quality of life by reducing traffic congestion for hundreds of thousands of commuters who use this route each day," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim.
"We are looking forward to seeing this vital transportation project bring congestion relief to drivers in Orange County and provide much-needed jobs for the construction sector," said OCTA Chairman Jerry Amante. "Creating employment opportunities through infrastructure projects like the West County Connector is a critical component in rebuilding our economy."
Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California leads the nation with $2.52 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 930 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.ca.gov/

***NOTE: I have had two comments now from confused readers regarding my use of the term of "Pilot." I use the term pilot to refer to a brewery's test system – the brewing equipment used to prepare small batches of beer. My use does not include the TTB's use in the "pilot brewery license," which is a license reserved for educational, scientific and research purposes. That license will not allow you to sell your beer. But using a "pilot-type" brewing system, you can obtain a normal Brewers Notice. That is my intent with this article. Hope that clears it up!
The past few months have been extremely exciting. My office has been inundated with calls from brewers ready to go commercial. I am very happy to announce that Reiser Legal's flat rate licensing packages have been uber successful – and as a result we have more beer being churned out. I only wish I could help more of you in other states (sorry guys and gals).
A trend is seriously starting to take shape – brewers are getting the TTB out of the way early on by licensing a pilot system. Whether it's a 10 gallon system, or its a 10 bbl commercial pilot, many are finally taking advantage of the fact that a Brewers Notice can be attained much earlier than you might have thought.
I have always taken the stance that the best thing a brewery can do is get licensing accomplished as soon as possible. Waiting until you have you found investors, ordered equipment, installed equipment, ordered materials, etc. – can cost you quite a bit of money in standstill operations. Remember, the TTB and state licensing processes can take several months to accomplish.
In the past few years, the TTB has become accustomed to the "nanobrewery." Regularly, the TTB licenses commercial brewing operations of no more than 10 gallons of production per batch. In some instances, I have seen anything from modified stovetop assemblies to standing burner setups get their TTB licenses and begin to churn out legally-salable beer.
The important things to remember are that the TTB will only license a bonafide commercial operation – which means finding zoned space capable of meeting local codes. Sometimes, it might be an industrial garage and sometimes it will be a small shed in your residential backyard. But, as long as you can meet the minimum standards, your dream of opening a microbrewery might be closer than you thought.
Knowing these things, many brewers are getting started earlier than they had hoped. By obtaining a suitable space and a reliable pilot brewing system, brewers are able to submit their application to the TTB and state licensing agencies. Once approved, they can grow organically and obtain change of locations, change of owners and other approvals required by the TTB.
Want an example? The photo above is my wife's brand spanking new pilot system. This system will be used to submit an application to get her brewing. With the licensing processes out of the way, she can begin producing and selling beer while raising the money to start a full scale production facility.
Don't delay the application process. Get brewing and grow organically.

Ithaca College offers a wide variety of housing options, including traditional residence halls and special-interest areas. We suggest that new students familiarize themselves with the types of rooms available in our Residence Halls, and with where traditional and special housing options are available prior to the selection process on HomerConnect.
New and returning students will select their own housing assignment on HomerConnect. Each student must complete a housing profile on HomerConnect prior to their selection date (selection timelines are published in the Residential Life Calendar).
Learning Communities and Substance Free housing require a separate application with approvals posted on HomerConnect. Eligibility for all Learning Communities is based upon an essay application available on HomerConnect. Participants are expected to be actively involved in the program. Please refer to the Specialty Housing Communities page for descriptions of each community.
Students may attempt to select together as roommates, but there is no guarantee a desired space will be available. In addition, Ithaca College only allows selection for roommates of the same biological sex (if you identify yourself as a transgendered student and would like to request housing not typically considered during the selection process, please refer to the transgender sidebar on the Special Accommodations page).
