Seat belt compliance hits record high in Minnesota
ST. PAUL – While $105 seat belt required tickets continue to be issued by local law enforcement, Minnesota motorists and passengers are buckling up at record high rates, according to a Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) survey.
Results from a June 2013 DPS seat belt use survey showed a 94.8 percent seat belt use rate. The figure is a 15 percent increase since 2003 and up from 93.6 percent use in 2012.
DPS officials attribute the continued increase in seat belt use to public awareness and enforcement of the state's primary seat belt law, which became effective in June 2009.
OTS officials note a correlation between increased seat belt use and the decline of unbelted deaths.
"More than 100 unbelted motorists and passengers are killed annually on Minnesota roads," said Donna Berger, OTS director. "We ask everyone to do their part to reduce these preventable tragedies by buckling up, every ride, every time."
New Ulm Police Chief Myron Wieland said extra police and deputies are used at specific times on certain days and nights for state-funded Safe & Sober projects throughout the county.
"The latest seat belt statistics are very good, but there's always room for improvement," Wieland said. "We'd like to see everyone comply with laws."
Minnesota passed its first seat belt law in 1986. Belt compliance was 20 percent that year with 280 unbelted deaths. In 2003, belt compliance was 79.4 percent with 257 unbelted deaths. In 2008, belt use was 86.7 percent, 150 unbelted deaths. Last year, belt use was 93.6 percent, 116 unbelted deaths, according to the DPS.
Other OTS highlights:
Belt use was above 90 percent in all vehicles except pickups, which are historically low, but improved to 86.8 percent in June, up from 76 percent in 2008, according to the OTS.
Females used seat belts 97.5 percent of the time, compared to 92.6 percent for males. Both rates are up from 2012 that saw 95.6 percent females and 91.9 percent males using seat belts.
Belt use rates vary with age-99.4 percent ages up to 10, 99.2 percent ages 11 to 15, 92.8 percent 16 to 29, 95.4 percent 30 to 64, and 93.7 percent, age 65 and older.
Seat belt use data was collected at 240 sites in 43 counties based on where 85 percent of the state's road deaths occurred on average from 2007 through 2009. In June, 16,436 front seat occupants were observed.
The OTS projects 410 traffic deaths in 2013, up from 395 in 2012.
On Aug. 26, OTS issued the 2012 Minnesota Impaired Driving Facts report, citing 104 drunk driving deaths for the year, down from 111 in 2011, and representing 100 fewer drunk driving deaths from a decade ago.

About the Author: Susanna Connaughton is the Executive Director of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. She attended UNESCO's Youth@the Crossroads symposium, which occurred in Manama, Bahrain from June 15-17, 2008.
The work began in earnest on Monday morning. On the way to the Plenary room, I walked down entry hall, named the "Partners' Forum," lined with displays from programs from around the world that provide constructive alternatives for young people. I spoke with the talented young artists drawing at the Bahraini Ministry of Education table and moved on to learn about the Croatian Youth Network, a national umbrella of over 50 youth organizations, from its dedicated President, Emina Buzinkic. The plenary room was packed and in a few minutes it became standing-room only. Seated in the front rows were the dignitaries---Bahraini ministers and parliamentary members, senior officials from UNESCO and its member states, including U.S. Education Assistant Secretary Kerri Briggs, and Health and Human Services Principal Associate Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill. The television lights brightened the room, as the 200 attendees — a range of ages, nationalities, and professions (NGOs, foundations, community and national leaders) — took their seats.
Chairperson Joseph Jabbra, president of the Lebanese American University, opened the session with passion and energy – you could tell that he cares deeply for young people and cares deeply about ending violent exploitation. He put forth a charge for the next two days: "sharing, concluding, and implementing." Throughout the morning, we heard from speakers in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish, including a charismatic address by Andres Pastrana Arango, former President of Colombia, and also a former kidnap victim.
The middle of the morning brought us to a poignant portion of the symposium. Projected on the big screen was a video statement from Vince, a former member of a Washington, DC gang. He told his story of joining and then ultimately escaping this violent group. He described the strength he has gained from being an active participant in City Year DC, an NGO that offers selected youth a year of full-time, community work in schools, after-school programs, and neighborhoods, and the opportunity to become a role model to young people. We also heard an audio recording from Ahmed, a Bahraini youth who grew up surrounded by those he said, "…Use their fists instead of their minds." He said that he had avoided this path by taking advantage of the critical thinking education and tangible skill programs offered in Bahrain.
Chairman Jabbra commented most eloquently: "Though they come from different parts of the world, they share similarities. Both were at that stage in their adolescence in which young people instinctively search for a distinct identity and a sense of belonging. Both were surrounded by violent extremist groups seeking to exploit this impressionable age group for their own criminal purposes. Ultimately, both young men found alternative outlets…They have each developed a strong sense of self-esteem, competence, and found constructive outlets for their self-expression."
In the afternoon, the symposium adjourned to a series of six breakout sessions. The breakout sessions allowed for presentations and small group discussions on a broad range of topics. Charles Davenport of the National Civilian Community Corps*AmeriCorps led a session on "Building Confidence, Competence, & Leadership Skills through Community Action." Arief Rachman, of the Indonesian Ministry of Education addressed "Youth Development Perspectives." Gary Knell, President of the Sesame Workshop, chaired a session on "Information & Media." Amal al-Dossari, head of the Bahrain General Organization of Youth & Sports, spoke about "Employability and Job Skills." The breakout sessions were filled to capacity, and even after two hours, the participants still had questions to ask and ideas to share.
You can access the entire list of organizations that participated in the conference in the Compendium of Projects section of UNESCO's website: www.unesco.org/en/youthcrossroads.
Russell in South Carolina writes:
Learning to use one's mind instead of one's fist is such a simple concept at a glance. When you actually apply it, that's when you begin to appreciate the true depth this lesson contains within.
This lesson should be taught to children at a young age and positively supported throughout adulthood. There would be less of a need for security in schools because there would be fewer fights. The racism that thrives here in the South would be almost unheard of. The national sense of homophobia wouldn't be in news headlines. The tragic battles that are taking place even now would be on a much smaller scale had this lesson been taught to all participants at an early age. True strength comes from using one's mind. In using my mind I've learned to listen first and speak second. Not everything is as it seems on the surface. Differences between individuals or circumstances that I don't understand aren't inherently a threat to my well being. Learning to use one's mind instead of one's fist is a powerful message.
We do not live in a perfect world but teaching and learning this simple lesson early in life will bring us one step closer to it.

Minds over Fists.....Excellent idea...
The USG should be the leader in thinking and talking with the world on ways to resolve differences. In the Drug rehabiltation field, there has been a long-term concept; If a person's hands are busy working, writing, and their minds and mouths are thinking and talking; there is no room for drugs or guns....
"what's in your hands?""what's on your mind?"

Topic: Problems using Periodically_call_remote
I'm looking for help/advice on using 'periodically_call_remote', in order to perform a simple regular refresh of a page. AFAIK it is not user in Rails 3 but the system I am using is Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.3. I can't seem to find any documentation about it, as all docs now point towards Rails 3. From the examples I've found I thought it wold simply be a matter of putting ...
<%= periodically_call_remote(:url => { })
When that didn't work I expanded it to ...
<%=javascript_include_tag 'application'%>
<%=javascript_include_tag 'prototype'%>
<%= periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'new' }, :frequency => 20) %>
But still no joy. Can anyone please offer some advice/help? Thanks in advance.

Information & Resources
In this section, you will find the latest, ever growing, information on pet pig health care, behavior, training, adoption, housing, diet, and more. The links on the left have valuable information and resources for caring for and training your pot belly pig.
Our FAQ's and information page is a constantly growing work. The information presented here is the result of our many years of living and taking care of our own potbelly pigs, and information we have gathered from other pot belly pig Mom's, Dad's, animal rescue and sanctuary owners around the world.
PLEASE: Do your homework BEFORE getting one. Don't be stubborn or worse, ignorant. Know the facts before you get into unexpected problems."
Richard Slayton - Proud pot belly pig Dad.
In the future we hope to include more papers and reports from veterinarians that have treated potbellied pigs and have become local pig pet experts.
If your vet has had experiences with pot belly pigs, we would like to hear about their approaches and treatments. In this way, other vets and you will have a source of sound and proven information.
Please understand: We are not veterinarians. The information presented here is for educational purposes only. Any health related information presented below should always be checked out with your personal veterinarian.
Potbellied pigs (PBPs) are clean, highly intelligent and loving creatures. In fact, pigs in general are the fourth smartest animal in the world. Pot-bellied pigs require extra patience and lots of love, but more than make up for it with their personality.
Care of potbellied pigs is simple, if you have the proper knowledge before you start.
Abandoned Pigs
Every year hundreds, if not thousands, of pot bellied pigs are abandoned, "thrown away", or die due to lack of information and knowledge. Many are abandoned because the humans had unrealistic expectations, or were given the wrong facts (like the ridiculous statement: "a pot belly pig will stay small if you feed it less", a favorite of many unscrupulous breeders!). This is why we strongly suggest you adopt a pig, or adopt any pet.
How About Adopting
There are many wonderful animals in rescue centers and animal sanctuaries. If you want to adopt pet pigs, check our Adoption page, or Links page.
Many potbelly pigs die due to wrong medication, wrong anesthesia, etc. We lost our first little boy this way many years ago. The reason for this is much of the information being used to treat potbelly pigs comes from treating farm swine. In many cases, this type of treatment is deadly. You will need to make sure you have a vet in your area that is willing to learn about, handle and treat your PBP.
Pigs and Dogs - A Bad Combination
Potbelly pigs and dogs are not a good combination. Pigs are prey to dogs, which are predators. If you get a pet pig and have a dog, NEVER leave them alone together. We have heard way to many stories about pigs being attacked by the family dog and being severely injured, or killed. Many times these are animals that have lived together for years. Normally it will be the pig that starts the problem by going after the dogs food, toys, etc.
Yes, there are exceptions to everything but do not take the chance. Pot belly pig care, and pet pig care in general, requires different treatments and approaches than other exotic animals or more common pets, like cats and dogs. We suggest you go through our FAQ's links to the left. There is a great deal of information here and many of your questions will be answered there.
Sponsor a Pet Pig
If, after you have read through these pages, you decide a pig is not for you, you can still sponsor a pig at many sanctuaries around the country.

In short: welcome to the ultra family. Run as far as you like in the time. Brilliant event.Date of review: May 18, 2015
In short: A great race - well done Deal TriIn full: these guys put on a professional race. Great event. Date of review: May 15, 2012
In short: gently undulating but fast course - superbly organised race.In full: Thanet have marshals to die for - simply the best. Jelly babies and smiling faces everywhere and race organisation that was phenomenal. Well done to the RD and the support team around him. Great job. Fantastic goodie bag - technical T and medal and food and special offers.... Race HQ in a warm and try school hall. Public bogs across the road as well as portaloos. Parking (free) everywhere. How good does it get... Even the rain held off for most of the race....Date of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Considering I PB'ed by 11 mins despite tough (headwind) conditions I can only praise this race. Excellent. Date of review: February 15, 2009
In short: mud, dykes, mud, scenery, mud, brilliant marshalls - did I mention the mud!In full: Another extraordinary TRRAC race. Not a normal event... a few miles along the seafront then onto the bike and 9ish miles of the most challenging muddy, energy sapping, cycling that I have ever done. It took an hour to clean my bike which gives some measure of how filthy the course was! Running was quicker than cycling, but jumping through 10' wide dykes slowed the run leg down to a crawl at points! I was filthy from head to toe and grinning like a fool at the end. this was a bloody hard race, but great fun! Defo one to repeat in the future - it's pretty hardcore this early in the season. As with all TRRAC races, the marshalling and organisation were spot on - everyone was friendly and encouraging and supportive. Great Sweatshirt at the end. 10/10.Date of review: January 7, 2008
In short: a challenging race and I took 10 mins off my PB.In full: this is a big race with some big names in it... for middle of the field runners it is a treat to be alongside the elite runners and in this race you can. The hills are a bit testing, but there are some good downs too (albeit one or two of them are a tad steep down). Organisation was excellent, fantastic parking, signage etc was spot on.. the whole thing worked well. Will defo do it again and will encourage others to do the same.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Redefines WindyIn full: As ever a brilliantly organised race by the TRAC team. Marshalls superb/friendly... free Jelly Babies at the 5 mile point (thanks Corridore), excellent drinks stations with some fantastic kids picking up cups... all this despite some mean weather!10/10 (again) for the Thanet Road Runners - I'll be back next year!Date of review: December 3, 2006
In short: Excellent organisation, brilliant having major roads closed, good support, fast course, loved it!Date of review: October 8, 2006
In short: This years race had all of the correct ingredients - pre-race organisation excellent, marshalls brilliant, drink stations (plus sweets etc) fantastic. Well done TRAC!!In full: This was a first half for me (although I've watched/attended many) and I was a little daunted by the forum chat of hills etc. The hills are not extreme - one or two long up sections (but you run down them too). There was a great atmosphere about this race from the forum build up through to the start and all round the course. Great end too (Good T shirt/medal and some nice touches like the sports drink/banana/flapjack/water at the end.As a first race I was assured a PB but had no intention of running it just over the 2 hour mark - my training pointed more at 2 1/2 hour time so I was thrilled. It was a tad windy, but we can't hold the organisers responsible for that!! A massive well done to the them... I will definitely return in future years...Date of review: September 5, 2006

Well, it's Tuesday again, and that means IBM announcements! Today we had a major launch, with so many products, services and offerings that I can't fit them all into a single post, so I will split them up into several posts to give the attention they deserve. So, in this post, I will focus on just the networking gear.
- IBM Converged Switch B32
The "Converged" part of this switch refers to Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), which is just a lossless Ethernet that meets certain standards to allow Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) that are still being discussed between Brocade and Cisco. Thankfully, IBM demanded both Brocade and Cisco stick to open agreed-upon standards, and the rest of the world gets to benefit from IBM's leadership in keeping everything as open and non-proprietary as possible.
The B32 ("B" because it was made by Brocade) starts with 24 10Gb Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) ports, and then you can add eight Fibre Channel ports, for a total of 32 ports, hence the name B32. These are designed to be Top-of-Rack (TOR) switches. Basically, instead of having expensive optical cables for Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel out of each server, you have cheap twinax copper cables connecting the server's Converged Network Adapters (CNA) to this TOR switch, and then you can have the 10Gb Ethernet go to your regular Ethernet LAN, and your 8Gbps FC traffic go to your regular FC SAN. In other words, the CNA serves both the role of an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) as well as a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) card.
(You might see 8Gbps Fibre Channel represented as 8/4/2 or 2/4/8, this is just to remind you that these 8Gb FC ports can auto-negotiate down to 2Gbps and 4Gbps legacy hardware, but not 1Gbps. If you are still using 1Gbps FC, you need 4Gpbs SFP transceivers instead, shown often as 1/2/4 or 4/2/1.)
Here is the IBM [Press Release].
- New SSN-16 module for Cisco directors and switches
When I present SAN gear to sales reps, I often get the question, "What is the difference between a switch and a director?" My quick and simple answer is that switches have fixed ports, but directors have slots that you can slide in different blades or expansion modules. The Cisco MDS9500 series are directors with slots, the three models provide a hint to their capacity. The last two digits represent the number of total slots, but the first two slots are already taken. In other words, model 9513 has 11 slots, model 9509 has seven slots, and model 9506 has four slots. You can have a 48-port blade in a slot, so in theory, you can have a maximum of 528 ports on the biggest model 9513.
However, if you want FCIP for disaster recovery, or I/O Acceleration (IOA) for remote e-vaulting tape libraries, you need a special 18/4 blade. This has 18 FC ports, four 1GbE ports and a special service processor that speaks FCIP or IOA. If you wanted two service processors for FCIP and two for IOA, you would need four of these blades, and that takes up slots that could have been used for 48-port blades instead. The solution? The new SSN-16 has sixteen 1GbE ports and four service processors, so with one slot, you can handle the FCIP and IOA processing that you previously used four cards, giving you three slots back to use with higher port-density cards.
Even better, you can put this new SSN-16 in the Cisco 9222i. The model 9222i is a "hybrid" switch with 22 fixed ports (18 FC ports, four fixed 1GbE ports, and a service processor, so basically the fixed port version of the 18/4 blade above), but it also has one slot! That one slot can be used for the SSN-16 to give you added FCIP or IOA capability.
Here are the IBM press releases for the [2054 models], and for the [2062 models].
- FICON package for Cisco 9513 directors
For our mainframe clients, the FICON package includes four 24-port FICON blades and 96 SFP 4Gbps transceivers to fully populate them. Here is the IBM [Press Release].
- Cisco Nexus 5000 series for IBM System Storage
The Cisco Nexus 5000 series is Cisco's entry into the Converged Enhanced Ethernet world, although Cisco sometimes refers to this as Data Center Ethernet (DCE), IBM will continue to use CEE when referring to either Brocade and Cisco gear. These are also Top-of-Rack aggregators that support CNA connections over cheaper twinax copper wires. Model 5010 has 10 ports that can be configured for either 1GbE or 10Gb CEE, 10 ports that are 10Gb CEE, and a slot for an expansion module. The Model 5020 has basically twice as much of everything, including two slots instead of one. Since 10Gb Ethernet does not auto-negotiate down to 1GbE, half the ports can be configured to run 1GbE instead. Frankly, that can be seen as wasting your precious Nexus ports with 1GbE connections, so you might find a 1GbE-to-10GbE aggregator that combines a dozen or more 1GbE to a few 10GbE links instead.
Today's announcement is that in addition to 10GbE and 4Gbps FC expansion modules, there is now an expansion module that supports 8Gbps Fibre Channel. Here is the IBM [Press Release].
Whether you choose Brocade or Cisco, nearly all of IBM System Storage disk and tape products can work today with Converged Enhanced Ethernet environments, either directly using iSCSI, NFS or CIFS, or using the FCoE methodology.
As you can see, it took me a whole post just to cover just our networking gear announcements, and I haven't even covered our disk, tape and cloud storage offerings. I'll get to these in later posts.

Rhubarb crumble has to be one of my favourite desserts. It's just about impossible to get it wrong. Unfortunately my husband doesn't like rhubarb so making any dessert to share is just a waste of time. What I do instead is make a big bowl of stewed rhubarb with cinnamon, which keeps in the fridge for a few days and then just eat it when I feel like it. Often Nigella-style I just eat a few spoonfuls straight out of the fridge. Sometimes I mix it with plain yoghurt. Sometimes I heat some of it again in the microwave. Because it's just for me I don't tend to do anything too adventurous with it. In fact, I would say that making an individual-sized crumble is about as adventurous as it gets for me and rhubarb. As a crumble is usually made in a big dish to share It also feels nicely indulgent to make a crumble just for yourself, but if you do have people to share your rhubarb with, the ingredients could easily be increased to serve more people. Personally, there are some things I am quite happy not to share, and this is one of them.
I am linking this to How to Cook Good Food and Working London Mummy's One Ingredient challenge which this month is rhubarb.
Ingredients – Serves 1
2 tbsp stewed rhubarb
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp porridge oats
1/4 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tbsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp soft brown sugar
1 tbsp roughly chopped pecans
How to Make Rhubarb Crumble
1. Grease the sides of a ramekin. Put the rhubarb in the bottom.
2. To make the crumble topping, rub all the ingredients, except the pecans and soft brown sugar, between your fingers so it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the pecans and then put on top of the rhubarb. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top.
3. Bake in the oven at about 180C for approximately 25 minutes or until the topping has browned.
4. Serve with yoghurt, custard, ice cream or cream.

City resident cries foul on chicken law
GLOVERSVILLE – City resident Jodi Stevens spoke to the Common Council on Tuesday night, questioning the city code's classification of chickens as farm animals. The code prohibits farm animals on properties smaller than five acres, which excludes most residential plots.
Stevens was sporting chicken fingernails and a chicken purse during her address to the council and told officials in today's economy chickens can be a valuable resource for families that would like to have them for providing fresh eggs.
She also addressed the misconception that chickens are loud animals, pointing out that while roosters can crow loudly, hens tend to be quiet. Many legal house pets are louder than hens, she said.
Stevens told The Leader-Herald she doesn't have any chickens now but would like to have them if the council would change the definition of farm animal in the city code.
"I want chickens, but because of the rules in the city, I can't have them," Stevens said.
She said a neighbor in Connecticut had chickens, and her family fell in love with the animals.
In the cities of Gloversville and Johnstown, chickens are not explicitly banned, but for all intents and purposes, they are not allowed.
State law says anyone buying baby chicks must buy them in batches of six or more at a time, because they are animals that thrive in groups.
Members of the Common Council said on Friday they will look at and discuss the code further before making any decision about whether to allow city residents to have the birds on properties smaller than five acres.
Second Ward Councilman Arthur Simonds said he isn't sure if the council would actually change the code, because he didn't hear anything from other members wanting to address the issue.
"I think people had some concerns about livestock in the city and some of the issues that have transpired in other cities," Simonds said. "I think the council would like to research that process and see what happened there before we did something. It will be well thought out before it is ever granted because of the impact it could have on the community. Nothing is going to happen right now, anyway – that's for sure."
"I think it is something we need to think seriously about before any decisions are made," 1st Ward Councilwoman Robin Wentworth said. "I don't know if it is in the best interest of the city to allow farm animals."
While the sight of chickens strutting around the yard is associated with rural life, more and more cities and suburban municipalities are allowing residents to keep small broods of hens.
Residents of several Capital Region communities have been fighting their municipal governments to get permission for keeping hens in small numbers. Roosters are not welcome in densely populated areas, where their ear-piercing crowing tends to upset neighbors.
In Schenectady County, Niskayuna town officials took a couple to court for keeping chickens, and they were ordered to give up their birds. Now, John and Brenda Helm are circulating a petition calling for the town to allow "micro-farming" in certain residential areas of the town. (For more information, see www.niskayunachickens.com.)
Gloversville Police Chief Donald VanDeusen said his only concern with the farm animals issue is if the chickens were confined in a way that would create a noise complaint. He said in the event of such a complaint, his department would have to issue a ticket for disorderly conduct.
About 3 percent of U.S. homeowners have chickens, according to an April 2012 marketing survey conducted for farm-and-garden retailer Tractor Supply Company, which has stores in Fulton and Montgomery counties.
In other meeting news: The Common Council scheduled a public hearing for April 9 on the subject of allowing Walmart to run an underground electrical line under city property to the sign that will be illuminated by the front entrance of the Fulton County Teachers Federal Credit Union and the new Walmart Supercenter.
The meeting will start at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall.

SUNY Oswego makes list of 'Best Value Colleges'
The Princeton Review and USA Today have named SUNY Oswego to their 2012 list of 150 "best value" colleges and universities in the nation.
The list of 75 public and 75 private institutions appears in the book "The Best Value Colleges: 2012 Edition," released Feb. 7 by Random House and Princeton Review, as well as on USA Today's website at http://bestvaluecolleges.usatoday.com.
Robert Franek of the Princeton Review said all the colleges on the list maintain excellent academic programs while also holding costs down or offering generous aid to students with financial need.
In its profile of SUNY Oswego, Princeton Review cites the college's unique Oswego Guarantee, which promises undergraduates that their on-campus room and board costs will not increase during their four years of study.
"We do all we can to help make this experience affordable for students," said Mark Humbert, Oswego's director of financial aid. "We really are committed to that."
The profile praises the college situated on the shore of Lake Ontario for its "picturesque setting" along with its "strong honors program," "excellent study-abroad options," and "wonderful connection to alumni" who help students find their way into careers.
Dan Griffin of Oswego's Admissions Office said, "Of course, I believe SUNY Oswego's wide range of academic and extracurricular choices, accomplished faculty, and spectacular lakeside setting make us one of the best institutions in the Northeast—having the Princeton Review agree is icing on the cake."
The editors of the Princeton Review quote Oswego students they surveyed who described the college as "a great education for the money," "friendly" and "helpful," a place where everyone finds acceptance in the variety of student clubs and opportunities for involvement. As one Oswego student told them, "The greatest strengths are the extracurricular activities around campus. Very diverse and popular."
According to the Princeton Review, it selected "Best Value Colleges" based on institutional data and student opinion surveys collected from 650 colleges and universities that it regards as the nation's academically best undergraduate institutions. Criteria included the quality of academics, cost of attendance, financial aid, percentage of graduating seniors who borrowed from any loan program and the average dollar amount of debt those students had at graduation.
Oswego is one of 15 New York colleges on the list including seven SUNY institutions: four of the public university system's doctoral-granting campuses and two other master's level colleges like Oswego—Geneseo and New Paltz.
Celebrating its 150th anniversary during this academic year, Oswego offers more than 100 programs of study in its four academic units—the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, the School of Communication, Media and the Arts, and the School of Education.
The Princeton Review is a Massachusetts-based education services company known for its college rankings. SUNY Oswego has appeared in every edition of the company's "The Best Northeastern Colleges," and Oswego's School of Business appears each year in its "Best Business Schools."

About the Author: Tau Shanklin Roberts serves in the Public Affairs Section of U.S. Embassy Pretoria in South Africa.
On June 24, 2010, Former President Clinton delivered a speech at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, where he urged the country to take on a day of public service in the name of Mandela's birthday.
Putting action to his words, the Pickering Fellow summer interns (Christina Hardaway, Shailaja Bista, and Tau Shanklin Roberts) at the U.S. Embassy Pretoria organized several volunteer events and a donation drive for mission's Nelson Mandela International Day efforts. This endeavor was particularly momentous, because it was the first time the embassy community had offered a day of service to commemorate Mandela's birthday. In addition, this day would serve as an opportunity for mission employees to engage in productive ways with the local community and particularly with projects that have been supported by U.S. Government funds and staff.
I caught up with one of the volunteers, Courtland Freeman, a Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy Pretoria, to hear his take on Mandela Day and the embassy's efforts:
Why is Mandela Day significant? It allows us the opportunity to take some time out of our busy schedules to reflect on exactly what it is Mandela sacrificed so much for, not only for the people of South Africa but for all of humanity. It encourages people to do what they can to give back to those who are less fortunate.
Why is it important that the embassy participates in an event like Mandela Day? I think it is extremely important for the United States to support such an important day and give back to the local community. It is important that we demonstrate to the South Africans that we are behind them 100 percent in continuing their efforts to ensure South Africa becomes the type of country that Mandela and those who sacrificed alongside him envisioned.
What was your contribution to the embassy's efforts? I visited the Moepathutse Children's Center with a group of volunteers from the embassy. We participated with the children in their extracurricular activities including sports, arts and culture, and homework. We also provided supplies that the children can use in their day to day lives. It was a great experiencing getting a chance to interact with the children and to try and ensure that they were having fun.
What was the highlight of the day for you? The highlight for me was trying to learn the Sarafina dance with the children at the Moepathutse Children's Center. I think the kids got a kick out of my poor dancing skills. Moepathutse Children's Center is a great organization, and one that I hope to stay in touch with in the future.

Ripley Faces Tuition Vote
RIPLEY – Like many area school districts, Ripley Central School is facing the problems of falling enrollment, reduced state aid and a 2 percent tax levy cap.
In the face of having to make more than $485,000 in cuts to programs, the school board is asking residents for another option.
On Tuesday, residents in the Ripley school district will be able to vote whether to allow the Board of Education the power to tuition seventh- through 12th-grade students to Chautauqua Lake Central School.
This vote is not the first of its kind, but has inspired many questions from residents on what the consequences of the vote will be.
In November 1992 Ripley and Westfield held a straw vote for annexation; Westfield approved, Ripley didn't.
In December 1992 the vote was held in both districts with similar results.
Two years later, Ripley and Westfield again held an annexation vote which again failed in Ripley and passed in Westfield.
In 1996 there was a vote for centralization of the Ripley and Sherman school districts. This passed in Ripley but failed in Sherman.
Most recently, in 2009, there was a straw vote for a merger between Westfield and Ripley. This time Ripley passed but Westfield didn't.
Robert Bentley, Ripley Board of Education president, has been on the board for 23 years and explained the current situation is similar to that in the past when these votes were held, with one exception – the 2 percent tax levy cap.
"The same thing prompted those (votes) as prompted this one with the … state funding, the 2 percent cap. … The rules in the game have changed and we are getting to the point where we can't stand alone and on top of that we have declining enrollment. … It's the same things, the fact of the tax rate, it's the fact that we are cutting programs to keep the taxes where they are at or sustain some level of accountability on the costs in the district. … It comes down to money and numbers," he explained.
Bentley explained, although the choice of Chautauqua Lake as a receiving district may seem strange, it was a natural direction after the board's involvement in the ASSET group.
"We had established a relationship with their administration and their board and it was a natural conversation that happened," he said.
He explained when discussing a regional high school, tuitioning came up as another option for the board to explore.
"We formed the ASSET group … and we went into a regional high school direction after the unsuccessful mergers and annexations. Part of the problem with the annexation/merger process is it was so difficult to get through … We still have hopes of a regional high school but also Chautauqua Lake hasn't experienced the cuts some other districts have. The fact that Chautauqua Lake had been picked to be the site of the regional high school when we were discussing it, it was a natural tendency to head in the direction of Chautauqua Lake at that point.
"We were in discussions with them, they were part of the ASSET group and that's when (it was proposed) if regionalism doesn't go, would we be open to something else like tuition. … That's why we have stayed in the direction of Chautauqua (Lake) and besides they have some 40 programs we don't have and the extracurriculars that we have had to cut over the years," he explained.
A poll of RCS sixth- through 11th-grade students found a majority against tuitioning to Chautauqua Lake and students thought a larger student population would not be beneficial.
However the poll also revealed a majority of students would like to take classes that are not offered at RCS.
Many questions have also been raised by residents on what CLCS has to offer which students cannot get at RCS.
An impact study put forward by Superintendent Karen Krause at the Jan. 17 board of education meeting listed the courses offered by both districts.
According to the student poll, they would like to take but are not offered at RCS include advanced-placement classes, drama, French, woodshop, computer classes, German, photography, Chinese and journalism.
According to the handout, CLCS offers AP classes in English, environmental science and U.S. history as well as honors classes in English and chemistry.
CLCS also offers French as an alternative to Spanish, where RCS only offers Spanish. According to the list neither district offers German or Chinese.
Drama and photography are also offered at CLCS along with other art and English offerings like debate, yearbook, ceramics and painting. However, it does not offer journalism and lacks the Shakespeare class offered at RCS.
CLCS also does not offer some of the computer classes offered at RCS, however it boasts Project Lead the Way or pre-engineering classes including introduction to engineering, principles of engineering and architectural drawing/ civil engineering.
Another difference between the schools is CLCS uses block scheduling for some of its classes, which doubles the 40-minute class periods to which RCS students are accustomed.
This year seven students are participating in a pilot program for tuitioning by attending Chautauqua Lake. Bentley said they have reported to the board on their experience and have adjusted well.
"We have an agreement with Chautauqua Lake where their kids could come to Ripley or our kids could go there based on what programs we don't offer, what programs they would like to receive and I believe we have seven students in the freshman class that opted over there.
"The kids that went agreed to come to the board three times this year and talk about what they liked, what their dislikes were, what worked, what didn't and they have done that once already … The results in the overview have been good, there is always transition changes, especially at that age, there's the bus and things but the students seem to have gotten used to everything and at this point I would say their overall experience is very good there. It was great that we had the option to let the kids do it," he said.
If tuitioning to Chautauqua Lake becomes a reality there is expected to be a reduction in staff to the tune of 12.5 teachers, one administrator, one clerk, one teaching assistant, one professional support staff, three teacher aides, 10 advisers, 15 coaches and a reduction in time for cafeteria and maintenance staff.
It has also been noted transportation costs will rise as a result of tuitioning where one to two bus drivers or monitors will need to be hired, three more buses are estimated to be needed as well as increased fuel costs. It is estimated the students will have a 45-minute bus ride to Chautauqua Lake and a separate elementary bus run may need to be configured.
Bentley said exploring tuitioning is not just about savings.
"Originally we were hoping for a cost savings. I think everybody involved thought there would be one but the reason we have to look at change right now is first and foremost declining enrollment. We are down to 285 children pre-K through 12 in the building, we have an $8.5 million budget and we graduate 22 kids a year. You can do the math on that; it's extremely expensive … We have had a drop of 200 kids since 1996, it took 11 years to lose the first 100 and it took six years to lose the next 100," he said.
Bentley explained declining enrollment has effects on the budget and what the school is able to offer students. He added even the increased state aid proposed in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget will not help the district with its enrollment troubles.
"We are facing a declining enrollment issue first, then we add the tax cap to that which means we can only raise expenditures by 2 percent. That affects the fact that teacher retirement, health care, all the set costs are much higher and by the time you figure it out we have a budget deficit, a budget gap, of $485,000 predicted. So between the tax cap, a decline of state aid over the past few years – we will see what happens this year, that was a surprise for everybody – between those two items we can't run the building anymore without continuing to cut educational programs. We may get a little relief on the aid than we projected but we still can't stop the continued decline of enrollment," he said.
Bentley said the board of education is skeptical of the amount of state aid in Cuomo's proposal, which would total a $418,183 increase over last year.
"Those numbers came out after our public presentation. I need to point out that it's a proposal from the governor, it has not been approved. We don't know the increase in aid will happen. We don't know we'll get the number that was in the (news)paper. Honestly, we ran our numbers and our opinion is we are going to get less than what is proposed. By the time you run through all the formulas I believe it's about $170,000 not over $400,000. It's very common. The governor's going to be running for re-election in two years. He's going to put this money out and try to buy the election, that's normal of any governor," he added.
Bentley explained a "yes" vote does not necessarily mean tuitioning to Chautauqua Lake will occur. A "yes" vote gives the board of education the authority to explore the option and gives them the flexibility so if a deal cannot be reached with Chautauqua Lake, the board can look to other districts as options.
"The group of parents (who put forward the petition) specifically asked us to look into Chautauqua Lake. … The way we have to write the resolution, it doesn't name Chautauqua Lake. It gives us the option of talking to other neighbors if we can't reach an agreement on the cost. We could talk to Westfield or we could talk to Sherman. That is controlled by the state, our lawyer said we could not name a district but the nice thing is it gives us flexibility with the contract," he said.
He also added a "yes" vote still does not mean tuitioning is a sure thing.
"If we can't reach a financial agreement with a neighboring district then we don't have to tuition," he said.
Bentley explained without a "yes" vote, the board will have to go forward with a budget plan which involves cuts to programs.
"We did lay out what the district would look like if we don't do that, because with the tax cap and state aid picture at that time and some other things. I think the district residents know where we will have to go with our cuts to meet our budget gap but we will see how that works out at that point," he said.
Bentley explained by looking into tuitioning, the board is doing its due diligence for students and taxpayers.
"The board is fulfilling its obligation to look into these options and part of the obligation was to look at this process and to get a positive vote so we can look at these options. The board does give opinions as we go through this and people can tell how we think and what we feel but the obligation is to continue looking for better education and that's what we're doing. We can't afford to give our kids what other districts are giving their kids and then our kids have to leave Ripley and compete against the kids that are ahead of them," he said.
"If it's a 'no' vote the we will go ahead with our plans to run the district for another year or two and we will continue look at whether mergers or tuition or a regional high school, whatever our options are. We are so small with our limited resources we will continue to look at every option we have, that is the obligation of the board," he added.
Bentley said he hopes residents get informed and get out to vote Tuesday.
"I hope everybody becomes informed of the facts and gets out to vote the way they think is best for the district and their children and the other children of the district," he said.
The vote will be held Tuesday from noon to 8 p.m. in the distance-learning room.

Cajun Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya
- 2 pounds mild smoked pork sausage, or any lean high-quality smoked pork sausage, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thigh meat
- 1 1/2 pounds onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
- 1 pound tasso, cubed
- 3/4 tablespoon whole fresh thyme leaves
- 3/4 tablespoon chopped fresh sweet basil leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon white pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1/3 gallon chicken stock
- 1 1/4 pounds long-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped curly parsley leaves
*Cook's Note: This recipe has been scaled down from its original version so that it can more easily made.
The most important thing is to use the right equipment and I would suggest the following: a 2-gallon cast iron Dutch oven, a high BTU gas stove, and a large stainless steel chef's spoon.
Use high heat to preheat the Dutch oven and add the sausage. Using a chef's spoon or large spoon, constantly move the sausage from the bottom of the pot. Be careful not to burn the meat. (Normally I use Manda's sausage because it has little fat, however at this point you may want to drain off all of the excess grease to reduce the fat content from the dish.)
Add the thigh meat and brown the chicken on all sides. Again use the spoon to scrape the meat from sticking and burning to the bottom of the pot. Browning the sausage and chicken meats should take 20 minutes. Be careful not to over cook the thigh meat to the point that it shreds.
Lower the heat to medium and add the onions and garlic; saute for about 15 minutes or until the onions are very limp and "clear". Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove all the "graton". This is where the jambalaya gets its distinct brown color and taste.
Add the tasso, thyme, basil and black and white pepper. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. This will give the seasonings time to release their oils and flavors.
At this point the jambalaya concentrate can be transferred to smaller containers, cooled to room temperature, covered and refrigerated for future use. (This is what we do commercially; it allows the seasonings to marry.)
When you are ready to cook the jambalaya, add the stock to the concentrate and bring to a rolling boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to medium and gently break up the rice. Using the stainless steel paddle, continue to insure that the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot; this is very important!
After about 5 minutes, fold in the parsley. Continue to scrape the pot to insure that no rice sticks to the bottom. When the jambalaya returns to a boil, reduce heat to the lowest possible setting and simmer, covered, for at least 25 minutes. Do not remove the cover while the rice is steaming.
If Manda's brand sausage is not available, any lean smoked sausage can be substituted. You may have to remove any excess grease from the pot after frying down an unknown sausage.
For a richer jambalaya substitute turkey stock for the chicken stock called for above.
If no stocks are available, then chicken soup base can be used. Be careful with your seasoning, as bases are usually full of salt.
The jambalaya is best when served directly out of the cast iron pot. While the rice is steaming, the sausage and meat will have a tendency to float to the surface of the jambalaya. Therefore, after the rice has steamed for 25 minutes, use the paddle to gently fold in the meat and seasonings into the cooked rice. This should only be done once or twice, the rice will loose a lot of heat and the rice will break apart.
Also note, I do not add salt to my jambalaya. This is because I like to use herbs, tasso and seasonings to satisfy the need for salt. I would suggest having the table set with salt shakers and a selection of hot pepper sauces.

Tuesdays With Rita: Favorite Toys
4 comments:
Oh Rita.ReplyDelete
Your post tugs at my heart.
My siblings are all still here, but the layer above me: parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles -- they're mostly gone. There are times I wish I could ask them things. My own parents made sure to tell me lots about their own lives. My mom actually wrote ON photos so we'd know who was whom and when it happened; still I wonder about some things.
I see photos sometimes in antique shops, piles of them discarded in a heap, and I look at those happy faces and wonder how it is that someone gave them away to a store and didn't treasure them anymore. How lucky your sister is that you care about that photo and want to know the answers to the questions.
What a nice picture! But it makes me sad too that you can't get your answers anymore. So many questions... I have lots of pictures like that, mostly from my husbands side of the family. One day his aunt came over (only living relatives) and she told us who everyone is, as best as she could. I really need to do that with my mom and dad and all the pictures they have. Thanks for the reminder Rita. I hope you remember the dogs name!ReplyDelete
Don't you love how the cars always overwhelm the little characters in those pictures? Obviously someone was very proud of the car... She sure did get a lot of presents, unless she got to pick all her toys for the picture, to celebrate the new car?ReplyDelete
That you have the photos is wonderful. I have the opposite problem - my grandmother came to live at our house when I was in high school as she had early onset dementia. She told the stories over and over and over. All of us, myself and my 3 younger siblings can start one of the stories about her dog Mutt, and when one starts the telling all chime in with the chant "...and the dog's brother Jeff went to live with our cousins so they still got to see each other..."ReplyDelete
With my Mom's passing last November we have two aunts of that generation left. Sammy, the last of my dad's sisters and Barbara, my mother's sister, with our family e-mail round robin we are pumping those two aunties, as well as our older cousins. I have started a spreadsheet to turn into a family journal. It will be loose leaf and color coded so that my siblings will have our family and then they can add pages for the husband and wife family trees and the younger (now 2) generations can add pages as that happens too.
Thanks Rita for the memory prompt. Lori from sketchbook

Season dates
9-1-2014 to 10-31-2014
- Nonresident permits: No
- Resident permits: 2
- Total permits: 2
The Wildlife Board establishes timeframes for hunting on CWMUs. Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes
Type: CWMU
Species: Buck deer

Scofield West
DescriptionThe Scofield West Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is a long narrow CWMU located west, northwest and southwest of Scofield Reservoir. It is basically a series of higher elevations cut by canyons running west to east. In the north the higher elevations are around 8100 feet, in the middle elevations reach 8500 feet and in the south elevations rise to 9300 feet. In the north Starvation Creek cuts the Unit ranging from 7200 feet to 8000 feet. Moving south Bear Creek cuts the unit ranging between 7600 feet and 7700 feet. Fish Creek only cuts the Unit for a short distance around 7600 feet elevation. Tucker Canyon also cuts the Unit a short distance, ranging from 7900 feet to 8400 feet. The next three canyons are long canyons and cut the Unit for a short distance of their total length, Woods Canyon (7900 feet to 8400 feet), Winter Quarters Canyon (7900 feet to 8300 feet), and Green Canyon (8300 feet to 9200 feet). The most common elevation is 8100 feet but ranges from 7300 feet to 9600 feet with an elevation difference of 2300 feet. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 8000 feet and 8800 feet an elevation difference of 800 feet.
A good forty percent (40%) of the Scofield West Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is covered with Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Over twenty-five percent (25%) is occupied by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). With the addition of Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41), over eighty-four (84%) of the CWMU is accounted for.
One of the Scofield West Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, SCOFIELD DAM (427724), is 4.2 km east of the east edge of the CWMU. SCOFIELD DAM has forty-three (43) years of records, 1948 - 1991. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.48 inches, but it can be as high as 6.98 inches or as low as 0.76 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 17 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 10 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 17.2 inches but can be as high as 61.5 inches. FALL temperature at SCOFIELD DAM averages 40.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 86.0 degrees F. or as low as -22.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 67 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.
