When "Socialism" is so obviously misunderstood by the Extreme proper, why hassle even listening?
Question by cynical bugger: When "Socialism" is so obviously misunderstood by the Extreme right, why bother even listening?
When so many are so utterly blinded by Fox "News" to the exclusion of receiving, even for a moment, any other, less biased form of information without having to label it, "liberal" merely because it proposes to expose something that more closely resembles a truth, why even bother to argue? It is they who have partaken of the "Cool-Aid". Its' everybody else who must remain objective, render an honest opinion, question, answer, etc and continue to criticize our corporately led government, which, of course, in spite of the best intentions, we still suffer under.
Socialism is not the same as Communism. Socialism means taking care to some extent of your own people- it is a social agreement to support the meek against the powerful who already have command of their resources and to some extent abuse them to the detriment of society- if your merely looking for lower taxes, well, that's actually another story- tax the wealthy who have already gained so much at the cost of so many. I'm not for a moment suggesting that the workers take over the means of production- that is yet another, oft misunderstood and failed story. Why confuse the issue with false information?
The Republicans have been practicing socialism for the wealthy for decades yet barely anyone gets this. The pendulum has certainly swung too far- there is a sensible balance short of bankrupting ourselves, though it may already be too late.
Even intelligent people cling to these assumptions which is why it remains so utterly frustrating.
'Assumptions' being what I've already mentioned as the right wing agenda of mindlessly and endlessly hoarding what they could never have produced entirely on their own by any reasonable assumption.
I'd be happy if I could extract an honest answer from a single one of them.
Obviously I've arrived at the wrong door, here.
David I, thank you. I knew I wasn't insane, LOL. Pod people and all of that.

Cari Amici (Dear Friends),
I spent at least three hours per weekday now doing my first color copy of a plaster cast of a sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875). I am including two images that I was able to find of his work online. The cast that I am creating a copy of was cropped (the elaborate hair is too complicated for the intended purposes of this cast) and I wanted you to have a better idea of the kind of sculpture that Carpeaux created.
I am doing an exercise in subtlety, learning to paint with colors (yes, a simple palette), playing with tone, hue, and chroma. This first image shows you my basic Sight-Size setup. The Sight-Size Method refers to the process of setting up one's canvas in such a way that the model (in this case a plaster cast) will appear to be the same size on the final artwork. In some ways it is a much easier way to train one's eye/brain/hand coordination since mistakes will be more apparent.
I position myself, standing, about two meters away from my work. You may see the "scotch" (what we say here in Firenze for masking tape) on the floor where my right foot goes. I have also placed some scotch on the wall behind and below the easel to mark my "click-in point," which helps me remember exactly where I have lined up my body (eye) with the canvas so that I can repeat my vantage point when studying the subtleties of shape.
I start by deciding where the top of the cast is, and then the bottom. I take my steps forward and place a sketchy thin wash of paint onto my canvas. (I am still heavy handed with this, hmmm.) After that, I step back to my vantage point and decide how much correction I need either up or down. It is very unusual to place the mark perfectly the first time. Try it!
I have continued in this way, pacing back and forth, until I have sketched in a construct for the outer (large) shape. Next, I go in and determine what is shadow and what is light within that larger form. Note that the jaw appears too thin, but I have not actually drawn the shape of the head or the jaw. I have designed the shape of that large shadow that includes the jaw, ear, neck, and part of the chest. You can see that my drawing is not exact here – although I did not see it as so far off while I was doing it. [The two marks of paint that you see in the top right of the canvas were demonstrations of the extreme types of stroke one can make with a brush, depending on technique and how much paint is in the brush. For this stage I use VERY little paint and more of a dry brush.]
In this next image, you may see how I have developed the shapes. Because I have been working over several days, my paint had dried and thus, my work got sloppy as I painted darker when refining the shapes in the area of the ear. Note that background is added as needed to help me see the shape. We see in form or mass more than in lines.
Now, I add the background. I am not a very good painter and I have discovered that this project intimidates me because I want to do it right and yet I know the areas in which I am weak. This Carpeaux copy will test me and train me. However, the approaching spring and my missing marble carving is adding to my lack of focus and fear of failure on this project. My background colors are too cold, even as I began to apply them with my palette knife. (That was fun and I would enjoy learning to paint with a knife!)
In this last image, you may see a plaster cast of an eye from Michelangelo's "David" and a sight-size painting of it to the right (in "grisaille" – white and black). The artist working next to me must sit as he works, and rolls his chair over a carpet! [I am not sure why the carpet is needed because I would have thought that rolling over it would have been more difficult than the tiled, hard floor.] His lower vantage point gives us the ability to work in a closer space within the studio while working on different art projects.
Back to my Carpeaux: Once the background tone is in, I not only can start to determine the relative tones within the subject, but I can also clearly see that my sketch is too large! I had to laugh because when I walked into the studio that next morning, it was if I had experienced "stone expansion"! "Stone Expansion" is a term that carver Scott Owens coined to describe that feeling (rationalization – ha!) when the marble is cut away to satisfaction, but the next morning appears to have grown overnight! I was hoping (or more accurately, my ego was hoping) that the drawing expanded because I had not wanted to lose my lines as I applied the paint and only painted beyond them. However, once examining the work, I saw that many shapes were off. I am still refining these as I continue the process.
Yesterday, I was told that, "Painting is merely a matter of correcting mistakes." Hmmm, maybe living is too.

Women's lives are more at risk than men's because of climate change, according to IUCN. Climate change will affect all countries, but poor women in developing countries will be disproportionately affected. Despite this, most of the UNFCCC debate on climate so far has been gender-blind.
"Women are not just helpless victims – they are powerful agents of change, and their leadership is critical," says Lorena Aguilar, IUCN's Senior Gender Advisor. "We need to act now to make sure their voices are properly heard – here in Poznan and beyond."
Women are more likely than men to be killed by natural disasters such as cyclones, hurricanes, floods and heat waves, which are on the rise as a result of climate change. A sample of 141 countries from 1981 to 2002 found such disasters kill more women than men or kill women at an earlier age than men.
Girls and women are responsible for collecting water and fuelwood. In the poorest areas of the world, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, women and girls can spend three to four hours a day on these tasks.
Flooding, drought and desertification can extend these burdens geographically, forcing more girls in more communities to abandon their education. Of the 115 million children in the world who do not go to school, three-fifths are girls, and women constitute 75 percent of the world's illiterate population.
"Climate change talks focus almost completely on the science and policy with too little attention given to the impacts on the world's poorest citizens, most of them being women," adds Aguilar. "Governments in Poznan must tackle climate change and address the threat it poses to women across the world."
But women also hold the answers to climate change. Adapting to climate change will affect agriculture, food security and water management in rural areas, which are all traditionally women's tasks. In Africa, for example, 80 percent of food production is managed by women.
IUCN, as part of the Global Gender and Climate Alliance, has produced a training manual as a practical tool to help policy and decision makers to develop gender-responsive climate change policies and strategies.

Providing for your family in the event of your death is a fundamental of risk management. And life insurance benefits that replace your income may be one of the best ways to meet your family's ongoing financial needs. This calculator is designed to help you estimate the amount of life insurance you would need to produce a sufficient income stream for your family.
Ensuring that your family can maintain its current lifestyle in your absence is
the purpose of life insurance. The figure below shows the life insurance benefit
you would need to provide the income stream you specified for the desired number of years.
The information provided is not specific insurance advice, a guarantee of coverage, or a recommendation. The Life Insurance Calculator is a tool that can help you estimate your life insurance needs. The cost and availability of life insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of life insurance. Please consult your insurance professional to determine the coverage appropriate to your individual situation.
How will the income stream from your life insurance benefit be paid out? What will
the balance be year after year? The chart below shows the initial value of a life
insurance benefit, how the account balance would fluctuate year by year, and when
the benefit would be exhausted. Adjust your answers below and recalculate to see
how the new numbers will affect your life insurance benefit.
This hypothetical example is used for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary.
The information in this calculator is not intended as tax or legal advice, and it
may not be relied on for the purpose of avoiding any federal tax penalties. You
are encouraged to seek tax or legal advice from an independent professional advisor.

The Role of Indian Nationalists and Mahatma Gandhi in the Partition of the Indo Sub-Continent as a Hegelian Dialectic
Zahir Ebrahim | Project Humanbeingsfirst.org
Project Humanbeingsfirst.org commented to the article: Mahatma Gandhi – A Great Army Chief, January 31, 2014 at 11:07 pm
It is highly plausible that Gandhi-ji and other nationalist Hindu leaders were the necessary Hegelian Dialectic, the United India of the Hindus, to balance the demand for the engineered partition of India by the Muslims. The following is a brief analysis from the Muslim side by Project Humanbeingsfirst.
And the analysis suggests that the Hindu side was equally necessary, complicit, and participant, to foment the agitation by the Muslims and the concomitant engineered Hindu-Muslim communal riots for over 50 years, perhaps even since 1857, that eventually led to the justification for partition of the Indo-subcontinent on religion grounds.
Without the Hindu leadership's participation at the highest levels, perhaps wittingly, perhaps unwittingly, but nevertheless necessarily, in the Hegelian Dialectic of "United India" vs. "Partitioned India", no "revolutionary times" could have been engineered in the Indian sub-continent. And as the famous statement by David Ben-Gurion goes:
"What is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times; and if at this time the opportunity is missed and what is possible at such great hours is not carried out – a whole world is lost." — David Ben Gurion
The communal partition of the Indian sub-continent was arguably an absolute necessity for the British imperial interests during their retrenchment back to their tiny island — so that their famous "Jewel in the Crown" is never able to rise to its fullest potential as an independent sovereign nation-state. That abstraction, independent nation-state, being only a temporary staging process before the eventual transition to global governance. Well before the partition of Indian in 1947, that endgame was already being pursued by the Round Table interests; as is evidenced by the statement of the famous British historian Arnold Toynbee:
"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local nation states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited." — Arnold Toynbee, The Trend of International Affairs Since the War, International Affairs, November 1931, page 809
Not recognizing the methods of empire has been the greatest failing of the people of the sub-continent both pre and post partition, continuing to today. See for instance: Operation Gladio Yesterday and Worldwide Terrorism Today – Identifying the Enemy.
Just another way to look at the matter. If empire was so simplistic and reductionist in its methods of Divide et Imperia as the Pollyanish sense of this article that bespeaks of hero-worship suggests, the Indian sub-continent would have long been free of the yolk of colonialism, and would have also adroitly protected itself both from the partition, as well as from the subsequent faux freedom hoisted upon it by Western trained Hindu and Muslim lawyers on Western principles which were entirely foreign to the genius of its indigenous peoples.

Is Energy Independence Politically Safe?
This site plus numerous others show that the technologies exist to ease our dependence on foreign oil but what we (the US) lack is the political will to make this happen. Is this a result of our people not seeing or believing there is a problem or just too much inertia around the status quo.
We've recently launched a web site (www.ei2025.org) and will start informational advertising to to the American public in an attempt bring this issue center stage. Our goal is to garner enough names on a National Petition in order to make supporting Energy Independence - politically safe.

Is Energy Independence Politically Safe?
it's political inertia, but mainly basic cash inertia involving the key people working to flow energy into the country. they don't want their own cash flow to stop. "follow the cash" is that old saying. it's a true statement to understand why things work they way they do. it's a big lobby group!
imagine the impact to the country if ALL energy imports stopped? that involves alot of people...
it's like trying to put an end to income tax in favor of maybe a national sales tax. that throws A LOT of accountants out of business along with the IRS. certainly a huge negative impact!
~ as much as i'd like to see us more independant.
see ya
Is Energy Independence Politically Safe?
Terrific site, Chris, and bravo to you for taking the initiative and setting up your website and public awareness campaign. I truly believe that many Americans still don't comprehend how dependent we are on foreign oil supplies, and how close we are to a major worldwide oil crisis.
I think it helps that you're a self proclaimed Republican-leaning guy; saying that alternative energy is not just about politics, but about sustainability and good stewardship! So many conservative folks tune out when Democrats begin lecturing on alternative energy. I believe it's going to take this "regular guy driving a Prius and installing a solar panel on his home" mentality for people to see this is an issue for all Americans...across political, economic and religious lines.
I'll be signing your petition and reading more from your site in the future. (As an alternative energy aside, I'm in the middle of John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." A fascinating read about the oil industry, the World Bank and MAIN, and how Perkin's left this world to begin an alternative energy company and tell the truth about U.S. "corporatocracy." Great book.)
Best to you!

A team of archaeologists are excavating part of the Roman road at Ripley.
The newly discovered road cutting is on the Roman road from Ilkley to Aldborough (Margary 720b), where it passes through a man-made cutting in Hollybank Wood.
The team, comprising of mainly amateur archaeologists from the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, South Leeds Archaeology, 3D Archaeology and other societies, have revealed remains of the road itself and remains of the revetment structure of the cutting through which it ran 1,900 years ago.
It was previously believed that the course of the road ran past Hampsthwaite parish church and crossed the River Nidd where the current bridge stands, however as a result of the excavation, the team has revealed that the Roman bridge was probably a few hundred metres downstream.
This weekend, the team will conduct guided visits at hourly intervals - by kind permission of Sir Thomas Ingilby - from 11am until 4pm on Sunday, March 30, where visitors will be able to see the excavated remains of the road itself.
Assembly will be at a gate some distance along Hollybank Lane and will be well marked from Ripley Car Park.
The site is about a kilometre walk from Ripley and is in woodland, so stout footwear is recommended, ideally walking boots - there is no vehicular access and dogs will not be permitted.

Guidance for Using SQL Server BI Features in a SharePoint 2010 Farm
This topic summarizes feature availability based on the versions and editions of the software you are using. It also explains SharePoint 2010 installation requirements for using specific SQL Server features. For information related to SharePoint 2013, see Deployment Topologies for SQL Server BI Features in SharePoint.
In this topic:
Requirements and suggestions for running the SharePoint installation
General SharePoint 2010 Requirements
SharePoint 2010 products are 64-bit only. If you have a 32-bit installation of a previous version of SharePoint and Reporting Services installed in SharePoint integrated mode, you will not be able to upgrade to SharePoint 2010. For more information, review the SharePoint documentation.
Reporting Services includes an add-in for SharePoint products. Supported configurations for the add-in and report server are available at a more granular level than what is indicated here. For more information, see Supported Combinations of SharePoint and Reporting Services Server and Add-in (SQL Server 2014).
SharePoint developer tools only support a SharePoint standalone configuration. For more information, see the SharePoint documentation: Requirements for Developing SharePoint Solutions.
SharePoint Editions and BI Feature support
Some SQL Server 2014 Business Intelligence features are only supported on specific editions of SharePoint products.
|Supported Features
|SharePoint Product
|Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2014Reporting Services Add-in for MicrosoftSharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition.
Reporting Services Data Alerts.
|SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition.
|General Reporting Services report viewing and feature integration with SharePoint.
|SharePoint Server 2010 Standard and Enterprise Editions.
SharePoint Foundation 2010.
For more information, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012.
SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
It is recommended you update your SharePoint 2010 installation to SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1). SharePoint SP1 is required in the following cases:
You want use SQL Server 2012 version of the database engine for the SharePoint content databases or Reporting Services catalog databases.
You want to use PowerPivot and the PowerPivot configuration tool.
One of the primary reasons SP1 is required for SharePoint installations running with SQL Server 2012 is the database engine feature sp_dboption, that was deprecated in a previous release, is discontinued in the SQL Server 2012 release. For more information, see Discontinued Database Engine Functionality in SQL Server 2014
SharePoint 2010 SP1 Installation Guidance
Download SharePoint Server 2010 SP1 and apply it on all servers in the farm.
On an existing farm, you will need to use one of the following additional steps to complete the SharePoint SP1 upgrade. For more information, see Known issues when you install Office 2010 SP1 and SharePoint 2010 SP1 and Description of SharePoint Server 2010 SP1:
SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard: Run the wizard to complete the SP1 upgrade and configuration.
Complete the upgrade with psconfig: Run the command
psconfig -upgradeto complete the SP1 upgrade
For more information, see the "upgrade" section of (SharePoint Server 2010) and Resource center: Updates for SharePoint 2010 Products
SharePoint Installation with SQL Server BI Features
SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation Tool
The SharePoint Products Preparation Tool enables server roles in the operating system and installs other prerequisite software required by a SharePoint installation. The following table identifies additional steps to configure your server for SQL Server 2014.
|Reporting Services Add-in
|The SharePoint 2010 Products Preparation tool installs the SQL Server 2008 R2 version of the Reporting Services add-in. SQL Server 2014 includes a newer version of the add-in that is required for SQL Server 2014 features. The add-in can be installed using the SQL Server installation wizard as well as downloaded from MSDN. For more information on where to get the current version of the add-in and how to install it, see Where to find the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products and Install or Uninstall the Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013).
|Analysis Services OLE DB Provider (MSOLAP)
|SharePoint 2010 installs the SQL Server 2008 version of the OLE DB provider as part of an Excel Services deployment. This version does not support PowerPivot data access. You should install later versions of the provider on SharePoint servers that support PowerPivot data connections. For more information, see Install the Analysis Services OLE DB Provider on SharePoint Servers
|ADO.NET Services
|SharePoint 2010 lists ADO.NET services in the list of prerequisites, but the Prerequisite installer does not install it. To add ADO.NET services, you must install it manually. Installing ADO.NET services is required if you want to use SharePoint lists as data feeds to PowerPivot workbooks or Reporting Services reports. For instructions, see Install ADO.NET Data Services to support data feed exports of SharePoint lists.
Requirements and suggestions for running the SharePoint installation
Which SQL Server 2014 features you install and the installation order of those features will determine what levels of integration with SharePoint are possible. For example, while some level of feature integration is available through Reporting Services on a SharePoint server that uses a built-in database, most feature integration scenarios require a farm installation of SharePoint, because only a farm installation provides the infrastructure required for some BI features.
A SharePoint farm can be a single server or multiple servers. What sets a farm apart from a standalone installation is the presence of additional infrastructure, such as the Claims to Windows Token Service.
A farm is enabled when you choose the Server Farm option in SharePoint setup. You must have a farm installation if you want to use PowerPivot for SharePoint or Power View. The Standalone SharePoint installation is supported and common for development environments of Reporting Services. However a SharePoint farm installation is recommended for a production environment.
A complete server installation is also required for PowerPivot for SharePoint or the Reporting Services shared service.
The last page of the setup wizard prompts you to configure the farm and optionally configure a default web application and root site collection. Most setup users follow this installation path. If for some reason you do not configure the farm, you can use the farm configuration option in the PowerPivot Configuration Tool to configure the farm.
In previous releases, leaving the farm un-configured was recommended for installing PowerPivot because it reduced the steps needed when if you used SQL Server installation options to install PowerPivot for SharePoint in a ready-to-use state. In this release, it is no longer important. You can use the PowerPivot Configuration Tool to tune an existing farm so that it uses settings recommended for a PowerPivot for SharePoint installation.
Reporting Services can be installed into an existing SharePoint farm. You can install Reporting Services or SharePoint in any order, but the configuration of Reporting Services will vary depending on the order. For more information, see Add an Additional Report Server to a Farm (SSRS Scale-out) and Install Reporting Services SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2010

NEW YORK — An FBI agent told a jury Monday about the 2008 arrest of Bernard Madoff as the government began presenting evidence to try to prove that five of his former employees helped him carry out his multibillion-dollar fraud.
Agent Theodore Cacioppi said he was watching television at home on the evening of Dec. 10, 2008, when a supervisor contacted him saying Madoff "might be running the biggest Ponzi scheme in history."
He said he and three other agents went to Madoff's Manhattan apartment the next morning and interviewed him for an hour before arresting him. Madoff, 75, is serving a 150-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in 2009 to fraud charges.
Cacioppi was the author of the criminal complaint that was initially used to prosecute Madoff and to secure court orders to seize his businesses and assets. In the complaint, he had written that Madoff acknowledged he was "broke" and "insolvent" and that he had decided it "could not go on" and he expected to go to jail.
"After I stated, 'We're here to find out if there's an innocent explanation,' Madoff stated, 'There is no innocent explanation,'" the agent wrote.
Cacioppi was the first witness at a trial that is expected to last several months. In opening statements last week, defense lawyers said their clients could not have been expected to know what Madoff was up to when the former Nasdaq chairman managed to dupe federal regulators, sophisticated financial professionals and investors.
Cacioppi said he visited Madoff's midtown offices after arresting him, finding other agents already gathering evidence to show how Madoff managed to squander nearly $20 billion entrusted to him over more than four decades by thousands of investors, including close friends, charities, financial institutions and celebrities such as filmmaker Steven Spielberg and actor Kevin Bacon.
Several photographs introduced with Cacioppi on the witness stand captured what Madoff's offices looked like at the time of his arrest. A picture of the 17th floor offices of the private investment business where prosecutors say the fraud flourished included a snowman with a red scarf and gloves. A Santa Claus, candy canes and an empty stocking were on the walls.
Prosecutors used the trial's second witness, a 15-year Madoff employee who lost her job when the company closed in 2009, to introduce records that they say demonstrate how Madoff's workers lived large even as the company's days were numbered.
Financial records displayed for the jury demonstrated that one defendant, account manager JoAnn Crupi, spent thousands of dollars at a time on trips to Las Vegas and a wine store.
A lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission has said that from 2004 through 2008 Crupi accumulated $270,000 in expenses on the firm's credit card for which she never reimbursed the company.
The government said she also wired $2.25 million from the firm's main account to an outside account in late 2008 so she could purchase a beach house in New Jersey.
Others on trial are Madoff's longtime secretary, Annette Bongiorno, former director-of-operations Daniel Bonventre, and computer programmers Jerome O'Hara and George Perez. All have pleaded not guilty.

Troy, NY----The Sage Colleges Athletic Director, Dani Drews announced the selection of Caitlin Colfer (Baltimore, MD) to serve as the first full-time head coach of the Gators' women's soccer program.
"After an extensive national search, we are thrilled to bring home one of the Capital District's finest athletes to take the helm of our women's soccer program," said Drews.
Colfer, a two-time NSCAA/adidas All-American at nearby Colonie Central High School in 2003 and 2004, returns to her roots after excelling as a Division I scholarship performer at The Ohio State University from 2005-2009. During her outstanding collegiate career, she tallied 11 career assists and ranked 13th all-time for career assists for the program when she graduated. She earned four OSU Scholar-Athlete Awards, and in 2007 and 2008 she was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree, as well as a NSCAA/adidas Second Team All-Academic honoree in 2007.
Colfer said of her appointment, "I am extremely excited and grateful to Dani Drews, and the entire Sage athletic department for giving me this wonderful opportunity to lead the Sage's women's soccer program." Colfer added, "I am eager to reacquaint myself with many of the high school and premier coaches in the Capital District. It is clear that Sage is committed to taking this program to the next level, and I am confident in our future. I believe I can build on the great work that has already begun with the women's soccer program and guide the Gators to success."
Drews added, "Caitlin's playing accomplishments are outstanding, but equally impressive are her credentials as a young coach. She has already earned her "B" license and accolades from the USSF in just a few years since graduating from Ohio State. With her local ties and passion for the game, she is the perfect person to lead the Gators to the next level."
She was a member of the Region I Olympic Development Program (ODP) from 2000-2005. During this time, she represented the United States three times internationally in Ireland, Spain, and Portugal. She continued her playing career with the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) and served as the team captain for the 2006 and 2007 Adirondack Lynx, which garnered the Northeastern Division Championship title in 2006. In 2011, Colfer led the Baltimore, MD, ASA Chesapeake Charge to the Region I Championship. She was a two-time bronze medalist in the Empire State Games as a member of both the Adirondack Scholastic Girls and Women's Open soccer teams.
Colfer was the recipient of the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) Bob McNulty Award of Excellence in 2010 awarded to the most outstanding coaching candidate at the USSF National "C" Licensing School. Colfer recently completed her USSF National B License requirements in January 2012. Colfer comes to Sage after serving as the first assistant coach at Goucher College (Towson, MD) the past three years, where she was instrumental in the success and development of several players that earned numerous awards from the Landmark Conference and NSCAA All-Region honors.
An experienced youth coach, Colfer has been involved as a coach and staff member at camps held at The Ohio State University, University of Maryland, Loyola University (MD), and three USSC/Nike Soccer Camps at Goucher College. Locally she has been on the camp staffs at Siena, Skidmore and Hartwick.
Colfer attained her bachelor of science degree in human development and family science from The Ohio State University in 2009, and earned a master of education degree in athletic program leadership and administration from Goucher College in 2011. She inherits a program that earned nine consecutive post-season appearances, including five straight Skyline Conference Tournament berths. Colfer replaces Barry Balkwell, who served as part-time coach for the team for ten seasons and was 79-71-22 during that time. In addition to her duties as head women's soccer coach, Colfer will also serve as the assistant director of recreation at The Sage Colleges.

New Ameren Plan Won't Move Most Lake Homes
Report Raised Concern About 1,600 Properties At Lake Of The Ozarks
Ameren Missouri said Wednesday it has filed a management plan to ensure that most of the 1,600 homes along the Lake of the Ozarks shoreline in mid-Missouri are not threatened with removal.
Ameren's plan, filed this week with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, revises the shoreline boundary so that most of the homes are not on land that is part of Ameren's hydroelectric project. Concerns were raised in July when FERC ordered that structures may need to be removed if they encroach onto the project's land.
The plan confirms Ameren's proposal released in mid-December that calls for a lake-wide boundary at 662 feet above sea level for existing dwellings.
Ameren hosted two public hearings in January to get feedback from landowners. St. Louis-based Ameren's shoreline management supervisor, Jeff Green, said the utility received more than 400 comments on the proposal.
"We want to thank Lake of the Ozarks stakeholders, community leaders and the public for working with us in our development of this plan," he said.
FERC must still approve the plan, but there is no timetable for when that may occur.
Lake of the Ozarks was formed by construction of the dam in 1931. On paper, the existing boundary ranges from 665 to 670 feet. The project boundary is an elevated strip of land surrounding the sprawling lake's shoreline.
Ameren in 2008 filed a required shoreline management plan noting that many structures were built over time on land that appeared to belong to the utility's hydroelectric project, prompting FERC's order in July warning that homes may need to be removed. FERC has regulatory authority over hydroelectric projects.
That announcement led to widespread concerns at the lake and prompted both of Missouri's U.S. senators and eight members of Congress to weigh in.
In November, FERC issued a new order directing Ameren to instead submit a plan by June for redrawing the territory around the lake. The company submitted the plan four months ahead of that deadline.
The Ameren proposal does not change the way it handles permits for docks, seawalls, ramps and other facilities. Ameren retains existing guidelines for public access to shoreline areas. Property rights remain unchanged.
The plan also retains land for Ameren within the project boundary that is needed for things such as wetlands, public recreational areas and riparian habitat.

You know about Google Books, right? It's an ambitious project by Google to, essentially, scan and make publicly available every known book. I'm guessing the end goal is to put them all onto a chip implanted in Larry Page's brain so he can always beat anyone in an argument, forever. It's a grand, noble idea, and it's made possible via some amazing technical feats, such as scanning 1000 pages per hour via some elaborate scanning setup, which I'm picturing as having dozens of whirling, gleaming metal arms.
No matter what you think of Google, having access to all that literature and knowledge is a very good, enabling thing. And I think it's what's needed for people who love cars.
More specifically, people who love vintage cars. And, instead of books, there would be a vast collection of car parts, or more accurately, the 3D data that describes the parts. And, instead of reading books on some screen, these parts could be downloaded and made tangible via 3D printing technology.
I've used 3D printing services to make parts for art projects before, and it's amazing technology. The idea of using it to create parts for cars certainly isn't new, either— Jay Leno has been doing it for a while, it seems. What I'm suggesting is that it's time to start a very ambitious project: a freely-available database of scanned auto parts, so restorers and enthusiasts and curators of the future will be able to keep their babies running.
Even now, for most cars over 30 years old, parts availability is a huge issue. I have a friend very much into old AMCs and Ramblers who keeps a reserve of certain hard-to-find parts. I have an old Beetle that's due to turn 40 very soon, and parts are still plentiful for it, but that's the exception. Most interesting older cars, even ones with large fan bases, like BMW 2002s or Mustangs or whatever will become more and more niche markets as time goes on. For rare cars, the problem is even more intense. I also have a Reliant Scimitar, and getting anything for it, even in the UK, is a massive ordeal.
So I propose we start scanning and saving parts now. This, of course, is not trivial, as 3D scanners are still pretty expensive, but they are around. Most major art schools with Automotive Design departments, like Art Center in Pasadena, have one. And 3D printers are getting cheaper and more accessible every year. It's just a matter of time before they're everywhere. The parts would be printed in plastic, which may be fine for dash knobs and interior fittings, but they'd have to be cast in metal for heavier-duty use, which is a good thing from your local independent machinist's perspective.
Who has the money to get this going? I volunteer Google. They'll be done scanning the backlog of humanity's books around 2015, they say, so they'll want to keep those robots and monkeys they trained to scan stuff to some new use, right?
Who's with me? Maybe if everyone drops off their broken car parts by Google's service entrance we can help them get started. Keep the pile neat, though.
