IntroductionAthens (ăthˈĭnz) [key], Gr. Athínai, city (1991 pop. 2,907,179; 1991 urban agglomeration pop. 3,072,922), capital of Greece, E central Greece, on the plain of Attica, between the Kifisós and Ilissus rivers, near the Saronic Gulf. Mt. Aigáleos (1,534 ft/468 m), Mt. Parnis (4,633 ft/1,412 m), Mt. Pendelikón (3,638 ft/1,109 m), and Mt. Hymettus (3,370 ft/1,027 m) rise in a semicircle around the city. The capital of Attica prefecture, Athens is Greece's largest city and its administrative, economic, and cultural center. Greater Athens, which includes the port of Piraiévs and numerous suburbs, accounts for most of Greece's industrial output. Manufactures include silk, wool, and cotton textiles, machine tools, steel, ships, food products, beverages, chemicals, pottery, printed materials, and carpets. Greater Athens is a transportation hub, served by rail lines, major roads, airlines, and oceangoing vessels. There is a large tourist industry. Water for the city is supplied by the Marathón reservoir (1931), formed by a dam made of Pentelic marble.
The main landmark of Athens is the acropolis (412 ft/126 m high), which dominates the city and on which stand the remains of the Parthenon, the propylaea, and the Erechtheum. Occupying the southern part of Athens, the Acropolis is ringed by the other chief landmarks of the ancient city—the Pnyx, where the citizens' assemblies were held; the Areopagus; the Theseum of Hephaesteum, a well-preserved Doric temple of the 5th cent. B.C.; the old Agora and the Roman forum; the temple of Zeus or Olympieum (begun under Pisistratus in the 6th cent. B.C. and completed in the 2d cent. A.D. under Hadrian, whose arch stands nearby); the theatre of Dionysius (the oldest in Greece); and the Odeum of Herodes Atticus.
There are many Roman remains in the "new" quarter, built east of the original city walls by Emperor Hadrian (1st cent. A.D.); there the modern royal palace and gardens also stand. The stadium is E of the Ilissus River. Parts of the ancient city walls are still visible, particularly at the Dipylon, the sacred gate on the road to Eleusis; however, the Long Walls connecting Athens and Piraiévs have almost entirely disappeared. The most noteworthy Byzantine structures are the churches of St. Theodora and of the Holy Apostles, both built in the 12th cent. Athens is the see of an archbishop who presides over the Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church. The city is the seat of the National and Capodistrian Univ. (1837), a polytechnic institute, an academy of sciences, several schools of archaeology, and many museums and libraries. A nuclear research center is nearby, at Aghia Paraskevi.

We've come a long way.
Thanks to Lisa Gensheimer, president of Main Street Media, and Kim Young, journalism instructor at Penn State University, Behrend College and public affairs program host at WQLN-FM radio, for calling my attention to all the women who won public office Nov. 6. Women candidates rolled in Senate races.
In Missouri, Democrat Claire McCaskill, in an AP photo, defeated Republican Todd Akin, notorious for using the term "legitimate" rape.
In Massachusetts, Democrat and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, in an AP picture with her husband, defeated Scott Brown.
In Wisconsin, Democrat Tammy Baldwin won against Tommy Thompson. She will be the first openly gay member of the Senate.
In Nebraska, Republican Deb Fischer beat former governor Bob Kerrey.
In North Dakota Democrat Heidi Heitkamp holds a narrow lead over Republican Rick Berg in a race that will probably have a recount.
In Indiana, Republican Richard Mourdock, notorious for his comments on rape, lost the Senate race.
There are many more women who won races, but these caught our attention. Congratulations to all the women who had the courage to run for public office.
Pam Parker is the editor of Lake Erie LifeStyle, Her Times and House to Home at the Erie Times-News in Erie, Pa.

Pretty shoes, but...
"I wanted to love these shoes because it goes well with my dress. They are pretty at the first glance. But upon closer inspection I noticed the beads were sewn in an awkward way. They were not lined nicely. But the deal breaker was the lack of footbed support. It hurts so bad after an hour of wearing around the house. Back to the store they go."

Canada and Russia face off for just the third time on Saturday, with both sides looking to bounce back from heavy losses last week.
Canada and Russia face off for just the third time at Parc Eirias in Wales on Saturday with both sides looking to bounce back from heavy losses last week.
Canada were given a severe hiding last week by a rampant Samoan side that raced to a 42-0 lead before two late tries saved some pride for the North Americans.
Russia's game against the USA was a similar story as the Eagles totally dominated the opening hour before taking the foot off the gas and letting the Bears finish with 14-point deficit at 40-26.
Cadana lie seven places higher than Russia in the IRB World Rankings and have been reinforced by the arrival of Stormers flank Jebb Sinclair from South Africa, making them clear favourites.
Team Manager Gareth Rees praised his side for the strong finish against Samoa last week.
"They (Samoa) had so much of the ball during the first twenty minutes, we were going to give away penalties through being so tired at having to make so many tackles, while in attack we were wasting bodies at the clean-out," Rees told the official Rugby Canada website
"They were well beaten but they didn't quit. They showed they could score some tries, so they are quite positive. The overall feeling is that there was no lack of desire, just that they could may be have been a little more ruthless.
"I think Chauncey O'Toole was outstanding, on both sides of the ball. Connor Braid in attack had some good runs from ten. Then the subs went on, they made an impact. I know that the game had changed by that point, but Ryan Hamilton, Jeff Hassler and Nick Blevins all looked solid when they went on.
"Russia…were much improved in the second half. They are a good side, and we have been breaking them down on video. An eight day week this week gives us time to prepare for the game on Saturday."
Wing Matt Evans has been forced to return home for treatment on his injured quad along with Sean White who has a thumb injury.

Competition and Regulation Policy in Antipodean Government-Funded Ultrafast Fibre Broadband Markets
Bronwyn E. Howell
Victoria University of Wellington - School of Management
March 29, 2012
Both the Australian and New Zealand governments have committed to spend substantial sums in order to bring forward the nationwide deployment of ultra-fast fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband networks. With deployment proceeding apace, two significant questions have arisen regarding the economic, commercial and political rationale for the Australian and New Zealand governments' decisions. The first is why the respective governments are assuming a central role in the design, financing, deployment and (in Australia's case) operation of a nationwide network of a specific technology type, given that such intervention is at significant variance with both recent international industry policy and practice advocated by international agencies such as the OECD and the ITU, and the recent policy and regulatory history in both countries. The second is how these new Government-funded networks will affect the nature of competitive interaction in the telecommunications (broadband) industry in their respective countries.
This paper addresses these questions. First it traces the development of the Australian and New Zealand fibre investment policies in the context of international competition policy orthodoxy. It then examines the competition and regulation policies that will govern the insertion of the respective government-funded fibre networks into environments where both legacy policies and technological developments have shaped, and will continue to shape, the evolution of the respective telecommunications sectors. The analysis finds that political, rather than economic imperatives have dominated the government investment decision in both countries. The Australian investment has been accompanied by a comprehensive set of competition and regulation policies aligned with maximising the likelihood of fibre uptake, but both the up-front costs and political risks are high. The New Zealand initiative is lower-cost initially, but lacks clear over-arching competition and regulation policy objectives to guide sector development. The result is a fragmented regulatory regime and a range of contradictory and confusing incentives for all sector participants that will inevitably increase the economic costs of the project and lead to delays in fibre network uptake.
Consequently, the Antipodean 'experiments' in government funding of fibre networks are unlikely to offer good models of either policy or process for other jurisdictions.

And just like that, we are in the second to last month of this NHL regular season. It will be a busy month for the Buffalo Sabres who will play 15 games in 30 days. Although this month does feature the longest break between games the club will have with the truncated schedule.
After a March 12th contest with the New York Rangers, Buffalo won't play again until four days later when Ottawa comes to town.
The Sabres will play just six of their 15 games this month on the First Niagara Center Ice. The nine road games include a stretch of four straight this week with games against the Rangers, Carolina, New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Speaking of the Devils and Rangers, they are the last two conference opponents Buffalo has yet to play this season.
The Sabres had a little break from back to back sets of games but they return this month with the first coming this weekend. The next is the 16th and 17th when they host Ottawa, and then travel to Washington. The third back to back will take place on the 30th and 31st but there isn't any travel involved since the Sabres will entertain Washington and Boston those two days.
The Sabres also requested some afternoon games with the back to back sets so the team could get a few extra hours in between. In addition to today's game, which will be followed by a seven o'clock start at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, the Sabres will have a three o'clock faceoff with Ottawa on the 16th and play at seven the next night.
Buffalo had four back to backs in January and February. They went 2-2 in the first game and 1-3 in the second.

The Utah Community Impact Board has approved an emergency grant to conduct a hydrologic study on the water seeping into Skyline coal mine.
In the board's latest funding actions, the CIB panel allocated $594,000 to the Carbon County Municipal Building Authority.
The emergency grant monies are specifically earmarked for completing a hydrologic study to determine the size of the aquifer located below the local coal mining operation.
The municipal building authority received the CIB funding on behalf of Carbon, Emery and Sanpete counties. The aquifer is located in parts of the three counties.
The hydrologic study will also determine if water from the nearby Electric Lake reservoir is seeping into the aquifer below the Skyline mine.
Carbon municipal building authority officials indicate that the results of the hydrologic study will help set the course of economic development for the three-county area, whether through water development or expanded coal mining activity.
In addition to allocating the emergency funding to Carbon's building authority, the CIB granted Moroni City $53,500 in the preparation of a master plan for wastewater collection and treatment.
The Sanpete County city's wastewater treatment plant was issued a notice of violation by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
The master plan will help with steps to bring the facility in compliance with state regulations.
The community impact board is a program of the Utah Division of Community Development.
The CIB helps state and local agencies and entities directly or indirectly impacted by mineral resource development on nearby federal lands and the exclusion of the public parcels from the local tax base.
The board provides assistance through grants and low-interest loans for the planning, construction and maintenance of public facilities.
The funds also help community agencies provide public services.

So far, the answer has been one that most people spend money trying to avoid in real life: sweat. Since the Xbox 360 launched, your average video game character has started perspiring like a nerd on a date. Yet aside from taking us ever deeper into the uncanny valley, the next generation's literally slick visuals haven't done much other than say "Damn, it's hot in here."

Great walking sandal
"I've worn this type of sandal for several years. Merrill also makes this type but these Colombia's are the most comfortable I have found yet-from the first moment I put them on. Great support For all day wear. It's as if they were molded just for my foot. Highly recommend. I'm looking for another color now."

Comfortable for walking
"These sandals are surprisingly comfortable for walking. I like that they are sporty, yet still nice to look at. I was a little worried that they wouldn't stay on very well or would be too "floppy" (I tend to walk quickly and flip flops slow me down), but actually the traction is good and they don't move around too much on the foot. I wore them for the first time for a long walk in NYC and they performed very well. Unfortunately, I could feel blisters forming on the side/instep and between my toes where the loop hits so I had to give them a rest after one wear. I would have preferred a softer material between the toe. Hopefully they won't take too long to break in. Note that they rrun a least one full size too big, so size down. DSW's price on clearance couldn't be beat. I got a pair for mom, too."

Learning from Promising Models and Leaders in the North Star State
In my position as Under Secretary, I occasionally travel the country to meet with, and learn from, some of the many partners who administer and leverage the USDA's 15 nutrition assistance programs. These programs—from school meals to SNAP (formerly food stamps)—currently touch the lives of one in four Americans.
During a whirlwind visit to Minnesota in March, I had the opportunity to meet with a variety of individuals and organizations directly or indirectly involved with one or more of our nutrition programs. For starters, I participated in a terrific roundtable at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health hosted by national nutrition expert Dr. Mary Story, a strong supporter of healthy school meals. Minnesota Senator Al Franken joined me to hear from local organizations and agencies that administer nutrition assistance programs, promote good nutrition or even work with farmers markets. I was impressed with the accomplishments being realized and the creative approaches employed by local partners to improve nutrition, eliminate hunger, support children and families, and connect farmers to local markets.

Vita Grow Water Conditioner1 Quart.Add 1/3 to 1/2 tsp. to 1 gallon water and then add fertilizer. Helpful hints at the info button. Great stuff. Really makes plants grow! A must for any water source!!All water should be treated with this product. It makes the plants grow so much better. The secret is in its ability to chelate the minerals in your water and plant food and reduce harmful chlorine. This keeps minerals from combining with other minerals and dropping out of solution. Plants cannot feed on the minerals unless the minerals are in solution, so keeping them in solution is very important. This is very important in hydroponics. Keeping minerals in solution when passing through electromagnetic fields such as pumps may also create a problem. The water conditioner will help here too. The Water Conditioner will also help keep the soil from becoming toxic. Now that Im thinking of it let me make an important note: If you are growing in soil, you must allow at least 25% of the water or plant food that you are feeding the plant with to exit the pot and not allowed to touch the pot or its soil ever again. Do not capture this run off and feed it back to the plant. Do not water or feed the potted plant from the bottom. (An occasional bottom watering to help saturate the soil if the soil dries completely out is OK) Try not feed the plants plant food every watering. Water the plants in-between feedings. Use the Water Conditioner. This will help to keep the plant food from building up in the pot and making the soil toxic. Plants roots feed by the process called osmosis. This is where the juices inside the roots bring in minerals and other soluble compounds into the plant through the root skin or membranes. This happens because the juices in the roots have more soluble minerals in them than those that are soluble in the soil. If the soil has more minerals in it than the roots, the plants osmotic process will be disrupted and the plant cannot feed. This problem can be traced to 50% of our customers plant health complaints. Toxic media symptoms would include: Curling of leaves, leaves that will crumble when grasped as if they were under watered, signs of nutrient deficiency when plenty of nutrients have been made available and plants that will not thrive or grow as expected. Now that that has been said, try the Water Conditioner. Youll be happy!

Montana State opened the game with back-to-back threes by Jackie Elliott and Kalli Durham while the Thunderbirds missed their first five shots from the field to trail 6-0 early on. The Bobcats continued their hot shooting from the outside as Ashley Brumwell dropped in another 3-pointer and Margaret Barhoum later added a fourth to push the margin to 14-8. MSU hit each of its first five attempts from the behind the arc to eventually pull ahead, 26-10.
A quick 6-0 run helped to narrow the gap for Southern Utah, and successful trips to the foul line for seniors Carli Moreland and Andrea Jones had the T-Birds back within seven with just under five minutes left in the opening period.
The Thundebirds would cut the difference down to four with a layup by Jones late in the half, but nine-straight free throws for MSU in the final two minutes had the home team back up by eight with the score at 46-38 at halftime.
Montana State protected its lead throughout the first eight minutes out of the break until seven straight points by the T-Birds brought SUU back within three. Jones and Marquelle Funk dropped in back-to-back layups before Ashleigh Munns drained a three to set the count at 66-63 halfway through the period.
Southern Utah continued to chip away until a pair of free throws by Lori Parkinson made it a one-point game with less than four minutes remaining. A basket from Mandelko on the next possession would give SUU its first lead of the night at 75-74.
MSU forward Jasime Hommes tied the score at 75-75 with a foul shot, but Mandeko dropped in two more threes in the closing moments and senior Maylinn Smith added four free throws in the final seconds to seal the 87-81 win for Southern Utah.
After hitting seven threes in the first 20 minutes, the Montana State offense was held just 1-5 shooting from the outside in the second half while the Thunderbirds closed out the game hitting four of their last nine attemptes from beyond the arc. SUU went 41.3 percent from the field overall, just behind the Bobcats' shooting mark of 41.9 percent. Southern Utah posted a 47-35 rebounding advantage and finished 31-37 at the foul line.
Mandelko's 22 points marked the second-highest total by a Thunderbird this season. Moreland recorded her team-leading fifth double-double with 19 points and a season-high 15 rebounds and Jones turned in 15 points for her best scoring performance of the year so far. Hommes scored a career-high 24 points for the Bobcats and Jackie Elliot put up 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Southern Utah finishes out the week with another road contest this Saturday at the University of Montana. Tip-off between the Thunderbirds and Grizzlies is set for 2:00 p.m. with game coverage available online at www.suutbirds.com.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff Writer
Emery County Historical Society heard a presentation on Scandinavian Humor of early pioneers who came to Sanpete County and then over to Emery County. Edward Geary entertained the large group of members with a collection of stories about these settlers that came to Utah in the 1850s.
Evelyn Huntsman is the 2012 president, vice president is Susan Brasher, Laurie Ann Larsen as secretary and Dixie Swasey was chosen to be treasurer. Huntsman made a presentation to Dottie Grimes with appreciation for her dedication and service to the historical society.
Geary started his lecture by saying that when he gave this talk at the Scandinavian Festival in Ephraim last May he began with an apology for coming in as an outsider to tell Sanpete people about Sanpete Humor. "As it turns out, what I had to say was news to nearly everyone in the audience. One man could remember his father telling stories. A tradition that was once very vital in that area has now almost passed on from human memory. I am talking about an almost lost art," said Geary.
"The claim that Ephraim was America's funniest town seems to date from the 1930s. That decade of the Great Depression was also a time of awakened interest in the American landscape and regional sub-cultures. There were book series published on American folkways, American trails, American lakes, American rivers. Encouraged and supported by government public-works programs, a multitude of writers, artists, folklorists, historians, and interested citizens worked to collect, catalogue, celebrate, and exploit particular places, occupational groups, and distinctive lifeways. Somehow, out of this cultural ferment, a story spread that there was a town in central Utah where everybody went by a funny nickname and where they regaled one another endlessly with amusing stories told in Scandinavian-accented English.
"Nicknames, frequently an indispensable component of the humor, while not exclusive to Ephraim, were especially prevalent here as were the conditions that generated them. Not only did nine out of 10 Ephraim residents have Scandinavian surnames (most of them derived from -sen/-son patronymics) but the range of given names was also limited. During the 1870s, more than half of the males shared just six names: Jens, Christian, Hans, Niels, Andrew, and Peter. The nicknames that were deployed to distinguish among all of the Jens Jensens and Peter Petersens became established identity tags that could extend through several generations. When Royal Madsen presented a 'roll-call' of 232 nicknames at an Ephraim reunion in Salt Lake City in 1945, there were several instances in which no one in attendance could recall the actual family name of individuals whose nicknames they knew well. There were occupational nicknames, including 'Charlie Welldriver' Iverson, 'Painter' Hansen, 'Hat Steenie,' 'Salt Peter' (who peddled Redmond rock salt, Dixie sorghum, and Castle Valley honey), 'Pete Pigkiller,' 'Chris Dobemaker,' and 'Flying Carpenter' Christensen. Some nicknames derived from physical characteristics: 'Scottie Water-eye,' 'Red Whiskers' Olsen, 'Perty Pete' Larsen (the druggist, who, in the view of his fellow-townsmen, devoted too much attention to his personal grooming.
"The reliance on the nickname for identification is well illustrated by the often-repeated story of the stranger who approached the idlers sitting on the 'wise bench' and asked whether any of them knew Jacob Jensen. No one did.
"The stranger was determined. He said, 'There's got to be a man by that name in this town. I've been told right where he lives. He lives in the South Ward four blocks east of Main Street. Are you sure you don't know Jacob Jensen?' Then Jake Butcher, one of the old-timers, scratched his head and said, 'Hell, that's me.'
"A taste for folk humor apparently dates from the earliest days of the community. The original immigrants dealt with the trials of pioneer life by laughing at them and delighted in making fun of their own and their neighbors' efforts to adapt to a new language and the expectations of Latter-day Saint society. The difficulties of the first generation were seized upon gleefully by their children, who developed a cycle of dialect jokes in which 'they mimicked the strange dialect and malapropisms resulting from their parents' attempts to speak English.' As Lucille Butler notes, 'In almost every household, there was at least one of the younger generation who could, and would, oblige at the drop of a hat with a perfect reproduction of an altercation between father and the bishop, a wedding ceremony, or some neighbor's indiscretion. They knew how to deal out misery.'
"As Ephraim's humorous reputation spread, in the 1930s, scholars from several universities and foundations visited the town in an effort to collect the tales. Most of these efforts ended in failure. As Lucille J. Butler puts it, Ephraimites observe 'an element of true sportsmanship-you can't laugh at the other fellow's grandpa unless you are willing to let him laugh at yours.'
"Petie Bishop threw back his head and mimicked an exchange between a concerned father and his son: 'You know, Lars Peter, I vould not marry dat girl if I vas you, even if de vedding date is already set. I hear she has been displaying her trousseau to half of de boys in Salina.'
"'Hell, Dad, Salina ain't a very big town.'
"This opened the floodgates, and Butler was able to record two hours of stories that evening. She repeated the process at a gathering of former Ephraimites in Salt Lake City and collected a total of 140 stories.
"Pres. Heber J. Grant is giving one of his sermons on the Word of Wisdom, and finally Sister Hansen grows somewhat uncomfortable: 'Vell, Hat Steenie, maybe ve should stop drinking de coffee.'
"'I don't know,' the other replies doubtfully. 'I don't know.'
"'Maybe ve could change to de kind dat has de bad stuff, de caffeine, taken out.' "'I don't know,' says Hat Steenie. 'I tink Pres. Grant vould still say dat is a sin, and if I am going to sin I vould radder sin vit de Hills Brodders.'
"Another of Thomson's stories presents Lead Pencil Peterson praying for rain in a Church meeting during a severe drought. It is interesting to note that folklorists have found versions of this story, in which a folk character attempts to negotiate with God through prayer, in many other regions of the United States. Still, an Ephraim storyteller knew how to give this migrating story a local habitation in Sanpete County:
"'Lord, as you can see if you vill look down upon us, ve haf a very bad drought-de vurst vun dat I can remember. De crops in Cane Walley is already burnt up. Dere is no vater in Gobblefield Ditch; Andrew Kinnikinick's potatoes are vilting right down, so how can he feed his tvelf children? Even Mud Lane is so dried up dat de cows come home vitout mud caked on dere udders. Now Lord, ve do vant you to send us rain. But ve vant it to be a yentle rain-a long, yentle rain. Ve do not vant a cloudburst dat vill bring a flood out of de canyon to put mud and boulders in our gardens and fields. And, Lord, ve do not vant a big hail storm like de vun you sent last year dat knocked all de heads off de veat yost vhen it vas ripening. Ve vant a nice, yentle rain. And, Lord, ve know dat if you vill tink of it, you vill see de reasonableness of vhat ve ask, and how it vill be an advantage to bote us and to you. Because if ve do not get the yentle rain dat vill safe de crops, neither vill you get your tithing.'
"An entire cycle of stories revolves around Bishop Anderson, who presided over the North Ward for a quarter of a century. The good bishop was faithful much loved for his kindness, but he never quite mastered the English language and was frequently caught unaware by events. One classic story has the bishop speaking of his many blessings: 'My brudders and sisters, I vant to bear you my testimony of de goodness of de Lord. He has blessed me abungelegen. Vhen I first come to dis country I vas so poor. I didn't haf a ting. I vas yust as poor as a churchmouse. Und now I haf tree vives, tree cows, tree sows, and a barrel of molasses-und de Lord's had his hand in it.'
"Woodruff Thomson's grandfather, Andrew, served as a counselor to Bishop Anderson. (Andrew Thomson's chief claim to fame is that he snored so loud in church that he woke up the bishop.)
"Woodruff Thomson relates, 'One time after conference or meeting, Bishop Anderson was over at my grandfather's place for dinner. Grandma invited Bishop Anderson to eat with them, and my grandmother was famous for her mustard. There was none of this namby-pamby stuff you get out of the Libby jar. It was just the whole mustard seed ground up, and you mix it with some cream to make a nice cream sauce. And it was, it was really strong. You take a little touch of that and it was about as strong as horseradish. Well, Bishop Anderson apparently didn't know the virtues of Grandma's mustard and so he had a piece of meat and he took a great big gob of mustard and put it on the meat and put it in his mouth and said, 'Oh! O Das, O Lord! Lord, save my eyes.My nose is gone already.'
"One morning the bishop discovered that his bull had broken out of the corral. Seeing some young girls standing on the corner, he approached to ask them whether they had seen it. However, he couldn't bring himself to use the word bull in front of young ladies, so he said, 'Has any vun of you girls seen a big red cow goin' past here?' One of the girls answered, 'No, but a big red bull came 'round the corner a few minutes ago.' 'Yah, yah, dat's her all right.'
"Bishop Anderson was naturally concerned about the morals of his ward members, but also somewhat uncomfortable in approaching a delicate subject. On one occasion, he felt obligated to counsel the young women: 'De report has come to me dat a lot of you liddle girls are running out effry night of de year vit de boys, and you play run-sheep and run-sheep and hide and seek and hide and seek. Now, girls, dat is an innocent liddle game, but unless you are very careful and quit playing run-sheep, run-sheep and hide-seek, hide-seek effry night vit de boys, dere is going to be a lot of liddle lambs running around next spring.'
"Bishop Anderson often became exasperated at the behavior of the boys in his ward. He lamented, 'Vats can ve do vit dem? Here dey are. Dey stand on de corner. Dey drink de hellfire vater, smoke de cigarettes, and holler hurrah. Vat scall ve do vit dem? Scall ve burn dem or scall ve gif dem anodder chance?'
"The traveling salesman, or 'drummer,' presented a notorious threat to small-town morals. One night Bishop Anderson interrupted a church dance and declared, 'Brudders and Sisters, dere are dose among us who are not of us. Dere are drummers in our midst.' He was then seen in earnest conversation with some men in a corner of the hall, after which he stopped the music again to announce, in relieved tones, 'It's all right, Brodders and Sisters. Don't vorry-dey are ZCMI drummers.'
"Among the members of Bishop Anderson's ward was 'Mormon Preacher' Nielson, who had earned his nickname by gathering groups of boys on the street corners for impromptu gospel lessons. In one church talk, Mormon Preacher declared, 'Brudders and Sisters, I know de gospel is true, and if ve liff its principles ve can all be togedder in de Celestial Kingdom. I know dis yust as surely as I know I am going to svat dis fly dat is sitting on de pulpit. Oh, I missed him.' On another occasion, Mormon Preacher was delivering an impassioned discourse on the end of the world: 'Brudders and Sisters, in de last days, vhen de sun is darkened and de stars fall out of de heavens and de moon is turned to blood, vhere vill you be? I tell you vhere I vill be. I vill be vit de ten virgins.'
"The most effective humor often arises from the serious concerns of human existence, the same concerns that can also lead to tragedy. In order to provide for as many Saints as possible, farmland was developed in Sanpete County in excess of the dependable water supply. The spring runoff was usually sufficient, but as the streams dwindled through the summer there were frequent disputes over water rights. Virginia Sorensen's short story 'Where Nothing Is Long Ago' tells of a Sanpete water thief who is killed by an angry neighbor. But humor can be almost as effective, and a good deal safer, as a means of dealing with such threats to the social fabric. One Ephraim resident was brought before the justice of the peace on the complaint of his neighbors: 'Brother Hansen,' said the justice, 'you are accused of stealing water.'
"'Who says so?'
"'Swensen says he was only 50 yards away when you stole that water, and he seen you. Larsen was only 60 yards away and he says he seen you.'
"'Dey are bot liars. Dey vas 200 yards avay vhen I steal dat vater.'
"Asked by the bishop to open a meeting with prayer, one brother took advantage of the opportunity to lay his complaint before the Heavenly Powers. He concluded, '. . . and bless dis congregation, each and every vun. Dat is, every vun except Brodder Christensen. Now I don't mean Brodder Chris Christensen. I mean dat scalivag down on de ditch dat svipes my vater turn and dat is now sitting up dere in de choir.'
"The 'peculiar institution' of plural marriage provided ample material for humor. When one of Ephraim's most prominent polygamists, Soren Peter, passed away, his neighbor Shimmy Soren called on the first wife, Stena, to express his condolences. After assuring her that it was all the will of the Lord and that she would be with Soren in the next world, he took his hat and was about to depart when he asked: 'By de vay, Sister, did Soren leave you very much?'
"'Yah, all too much,' said Stena. 'Nearly effry night he left me for one of de younger vives.'
"During the period known in Mormon history as 'the Raid,' many polygamists went into hiding to avoid arrest. One story tells of a deputy U.S. marshal who had searched in vain for a particular man and finally stepped inside the meetinghouse to rest for a few minutes. The meeting was just concluding, and one of the brethren was pronouncing a lengthy benediction on various and sundry church officials. He concluded, 'And oh, bless Brodder Peterson, and conceal him from his enemies. You know vhich vun I mean. Brodder Peterson who is hiding out in Brodder Yensen's potato cellar.'
"When Lead Pencil Peterson was apprehended by the law officers, he attempted the same ruse employed in ancient times by Abraham.The marshals found him out working in his field and said, 'Are you Brother Peterson?'
"'Well, we've got a warrant for your arrest for having more than one wife.'
"'Oh, dere is some mistake because my second vife, she is my sister.'
"In later years, when someone asked him where he learned to write in such a neat hand, Lead Pencil replied, 'Oh, oh, goot hell, it vas vhen I vas in de pen, in de pen. Ve had it so goot, so goot. I sat right across de table from President George Q. Cannon.'
"William A. Wilson has observed that a major theme of Mormon folklore is 'the great struggle to overcome self. The Mormon church demanded a perfection of its members that few, if any, ever reached. Thus, many of the stories treat humorously the failures of human beings to do what they know to be right.' 'Wheat Sack' Olsen acquired his nickname after the bishop approached him for a donation to the building fund. He replied that he was so broke he could not afford to give even a penny.
"'But, Brother Olsen,' the bishop said, 'you have raised more wheat this year than anyone else in town and sold it at a good price.'
"'Yah, dat's yust de trouble. Yust tink what all of dose wheat sacks cost me.'"
"One of Petie Bishop's best known stories relates a dream-vision of the hereafter, sent as a warning to the sinner to repent: 'I dreamt I vent up to St. Peter, or Yens Peter, vich vun is it now? And he said to me, 'You can't come in here. You go down dere on de left side. You been on dat side all your life.' Vell, I vent down de stairs and opened de door and vent in. You can say vateffer you care to, but if dat vasn't heaven I neffer expect to experience it again. Dere vas effry friend I effer had and not von enemy. Vhat a celebration ve had. I neffer saw time go so qvick. Vhen de red light come on for me to come back up, I neffer vas so sorry I vasn't dead. Of course, it vas a little bit hot down dere, but who cares about de vedder if you can be vit your friends?'
"Word of Wisdom stories abound in Sanpete humor, with a particular emphasis on the difficulty experienced by the Danes in giving up coffee. Two Danish Mormon converts had come from the same village, crossed the ocean on the same ship, and settled, one in Ephraim and the other in Moroni. They visited frequently back and forth, and on each occasion talked of old times over a good cup of coffee. On one visit, the Ephraimite arrived in Moroni during church time and entered the meetinghouse for the remainder of the service. He discovered that his friend was speaking on the assigned topic of the Word of Wisdom. Following the usual denunciations of strong drink, tobacco, and tea, the speaker had just declared, 'I do not drink coffee . . .' when he caught sight of his old friend seated at the back of the hall.
"'Vell,' the speaker conceded, 'I do take a cup of coffee vonce in a vhile. But it don't boil.'
"Petie Bishop borrowed a story from the J. Golden Kimball cycle, telling how the quick-witted church official, staying in the home of the stake president during an assigned visit to Ephraim, awoke on Sunday morning feeling somewhat under the weather.
"So grandmother said, 'Well, Brother Golden, is there anything we can do to help you, to make you feel better?'
"'Well,' he said, 'I tell you, Sister Peterson, I would like a good cup of coffee.' So she made some coffee and served three cups to Brother Kimball and he seemed to perk right up.
"He went to the stake Sunday School convention, and the stake Sunday School president announced, 'Brothers and Sisters, the theme of this convention is the Word of Wisdom. I think it would be a good idea to have a vote and have all those arise who haven't had coffee or tea this morning. Will you please arise.'
"He turned around and Brother Kimball was sitting down. He said, 'Stand up, Brother Golden.'
"'I can count them just as easy sitting down.'
"The perennial battle of the sexes provides another rich source for humor. Sanpete County women were proverbial for their resilience and industriousness in the face of hard times, as reflected in a saying widely repeated in Utah in the early days: 'Every man ought to marry a wife from Sanpete County because whatever happens, she's seen worse.' Occasionally one of these long-suffering women would find herself yoked with a lazy husband. Woodruff Thomson tells of Sister Poulsen, who honored her husband's patriarchal authority: 'Many is de time dat Pol vould vaken me very yently and tell me, 'Dortea, it's time to milk de cows.' And ven I got de chores done he vould meet me at de door yust like a Patriarch and gif me his blessing before I make de breakfast. Ve haf tirteen children. Pol he belief in dat part of de Gospel dat say to multiply and blemish de eart.'
Another story of this relationship, told by Lulu Peterson Sargeant, pushes the satire further: 'And I neffer vill forget de day I vas out pitching hay, and I run de pitchfork yust tru my thumb, and I come in and how dey hurt. And dere vas Papa right in dat rocking chair so handy. He yumped up qvick and grabbed my hand and say, 'Mama, vat is it?' And he said, 'Get de goose oil and a clean rag and pillow slip.' Den he wrapped it up, and oh, he patted my hand and kissed it. He said it vas such a pretty hand.
"'And so I sat down for a little vhile and den I got up and said, 'Vell, Papa, I tink I better go out and finish vit de hay.'
"'And he stands up yust like de patriarch dat he vas. 'No sir, Mama, you don't need to go out today. Dat hay can vait until tomorrow.'
"The counterpart to the oppressed wife with a lazy husband is the beleaguered husband with a nagging wife. Sanpete humor captures this situation in a series of death jokes. A friend who had just returned to Ephraim after an extended absence said to Yappafoot Frandsen, 'I was sorry to learn that you had buried your wife.' 'Vell,' Yappa replied, 've had to. She vas dead.' When Brother Frandsen remarried less than three months after his wife's passing, one of his friends said, 'Vell, Yappa, how is it dat you marry so soon?' And he says, 'Vell, I am not one who holds a grudge.'
"The local undertaker in Ephraim for many years was Otto G. When he first acquired a motor hearse to replace his horse-drawn hearse, he hurried in and said excitedly to his wife, 'Come out. I vant you should be de first vun to ride in de new hearse.' On another occasion, Otto G. remarked to the postmaster, 'I don't vish any harm to anyvun. I only vish business vould pick up a little.'
"This wish was amply rewarded during the Spanish Flu epidemic that followed World War I, leading Otto G. to yet another thought-provoking observation: 'You know, Don, dere are people dying now dat have neffer died before,'" concluded Geary.

About NDOT gives you a little history of our Department and shows you how we are organized regionally within the great State of Nevada. We hope to assist you when you need to contact us or request information about our department and we hope to make your travels in Nevada easier and more pleasant.Employment Information and a Comments Form are also available in this section.
NDOT was established in 1917 under the name of the Nevada Department of Highways. Until 1917, the state did not participate in any road improvements. The 1917 Legislature gave the state engineer general supervision of road work which was performed by convict labor. An appropriation of $20,000 was made, but the funds were quickly exhausted and all work ceased later that same year.When the 1917 Legislature passed the State Highway Law, Nevada began an active roadway program, which has grown to approximately $600,000,000/per year of capital outlays to maintain and improve Nevada's highways.The mission of the Nevada Department of Transportation is to provide a better transportation system for Nevada through unified and dedicated efforts.
The department is responsible for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the 5,400 miles of highway and over 1,000 bridges which make up the state highway system. The department is divided into three districts, with a district engineer and assistant engineers in each. The districts are responsible for supervising all state transportation activities within their local areas. NDOT's headquarters building is located in Carson City, with the three main district offices located in Las Vegas, Reno and Elko. Major maintenance stations are in Ely, Tonopah and Winnemucca. NDOT is overseen by a seven-member Board of Directors and directed by Senior Staff. Transportation no longer means highways alone, but rather an integration of travel by rail, bike, air or bus. The department also oversees various allied projects from the Adopt-a-Highway program to the maintenance of State Historical Markers.
Our Mission:Providing a better transportation system for Nevada through our unified and dedicated efforts.Our Vision:The nation's leader in delivering transportation solutions, improving Nevada's quality of life.Our Core Values:
Our Goals:As one NDOT, our employees are key to successfully accomplishing our mission.

Counseling & Psychological Services
Emergency Guide - Faculty & Staff
Keeping Appointments
We ask that you please contact the Wellness Center in advance to cancel appointments you are unable to attend, so that the appointment might be made available for another student.
Resources for Parents
General Information for Parents
An important part of the challenge facing parents is negotiating the balance between continuing to support and parent your student while simultaneously letting go enough for them to establish their independence and autonomy. For instance, parents and students often have to reestablish house rules reflective of students' growing independence.
This process often involves renegotiating the relationship you have with your son or daughter in an ongoing manner to meet their evolving needs as they develop.
Just as your student is living through a normal process of growth, development, and change, so will your family during this period.
Consultation Service for Parents
Although we cannot disclose private information about students in counseling due to confidentiality laws, we listen to parents' concerns, and offer information and guidance.
If you have a concern about your student, please contact CPS at 856-256-4333.
About Parents' Needs
Having your son or daughter attend the university is reflective of your success as a parent. Be proud of yourselves!
About your Student's Needs
It can be very helpful to negotiate realistic expectations with your son or daughter regarding finances. Be specific about your plans for paying for tuition, fees, books, room, board, and other expenses. Establish a clear understanding of who is to be responsible for which expenses, and then follow through and expect your student to do likewise. If you are realistic and clear about expectations at the outset you may be able to avoid future misunderstandings.
Establish realistic expectations about grades as well. It is not unusual for a student to do poorly academically their first semester as they adjust to the very different experiences and responsibilities of the University education and life. It is also important for many students to explore some of the various academic options and offerings of the university before choosing a major.
If you do develop a concern about your son or daughter's emotional well being while they are at Rowan, encourage them to contact us here at Counseling & Psychological Services. CPS provides counseling free of charge to currently enrolled Rowan students. CPS records are confidential and do not become part of a student's educational records. No information, including whether a student has sought counseling is revealed to anyone outside CPS, including parents, without the written consent of the student.

Poor quality
"These were my favorite work pumps for two months, but I had noticed they were starting to stretch out quite a bit and were becoming uncomfortable to wear because of the flopping. Then one of the straps broke, and at that point they became unwearable. While I was out of town, on business. Had to find somewhere to buy replacements after working a 14-hour day in an unfamiliar city."

And indeed Zombies are a really popular theme for libraries particular for orientations. Libraries both academic and public libraries are using this theme to add some entertainment into traditionally boring orientations.
You can have a feel of how popular such a theme is with libraries by just looking at the following Flickr search.
It's unclear to me how much effort it would take to do some orientations, but here's an interesting Prezi by Central Methodist Libraries that talks about how to engage students using pop culture and mentions specifically "big games" which apparently is the term used for such events.
I looked around and here are some interesting library uses of the zombie theme that I found.
1. Zombie Guide to Miller Library!
Fun lively comic. Students and a librarian are attacked by Zombies and they need to find needed information as fast as possible on how to save themselves in the library. Do they know enough of the library classification system to quickly find what they need?
2. RMIT Library Amazing Race Zombie Edition Orientation
Above is a very amusing video on the event held Feb 27 at RMIT University Library. I believe this library has been doing zombie editions for at least 2 years?
Beyond that I don't have much details about the actual physical event held , though you can see some photos on their facebook page and a infographic showing that 190 did the physical game and 717 did the online version.
Here's the clever online version
A fun way to introduce users to various sites by the library, the short online game leads the user to various online sites by the library including libguides, youtube videos, Facebook/Twitter pages & library discovery system to find clues needed to complete the quiz to save themselves.
3. Marston Feed Your Brains, University of Florida Libraries.
Another intriguing zombie themed information literacy session by University of Florida. Much of it centered around the Zombie Survival LibGuide created by the library in 2010.
A full paper "The Library is Undead: Information Seeking During the Zombie Apocalypse" describing what they did and the reaction of users is available. More information is also available via a slideshare and podcast.
4. Lupton Library, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga - Nightmare On Vine Street
"Designed as a companion piece to an iPod-based building tour, the basic concept for the project was a horror-themed "escape the room" game. The entire group brainstormed the creepy scenario for the game: a student wakes up late at night in a study room on the top floor of the library and has to navigate their way out of the building by appeasing various librarian zombies encountered along the way." -- source
5. Zombies in the Library Calendar Tea Tree Gully Libraries
2011 calendar Zombies in the Library.
Librarians dress up as zombies to create a calendar.
"Zombies invaded a south Auckland library yesterday, all in the name of literacy." goes the local news report.
I don't have much details, but it seems to be the typical, survivors race to find information to protect themselves from zombies idea.
The event made local tv and there is an interactive text "choose your own adventure" type game using a wiki plus a Zombie apocalypse reading list.
7. Locating a Book (Brains on Books) - Western Illinois University Libraries.
Searching Youtube with zombie libraries, finds quite a few videos on the subject. Leaving aside the Thriller spoofs, many are simply marketing videos explaining why you need the library (for information on what to do with a outbreak of course), some are fairly well done but nothing in my opinion particularly interesting. but the above one by Western Illinois University Libraries manages to sneak in library instruction....
8. Others
There are many many other libraries using the zombie theme. Eg Zombie and Vampire themed Trek using SCVNGR game by Ohlone College,
A quick search of libguides show that there are easily a 20+ libguides about zombies created by various libraries.
Typically named "Zombie Survival guide" or similar, some are merely using the theme, to inject interest into the topic of information literacy, eg. How to access information remotely in case of a zombie quarantine etc, coupled with fun listings of zombie related literature such as The Zombie survival guide, including typically works like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , tongue in check academic articles to semi-serious The zombie survival guide : complete protection from the living dead.
Others are similar to the University of Florida attached to a physical game of some sort, typically Humans vs. Zombies games. e.g Webster University
Another simple idea is just to have a "Zombie week" and book displays etc.
One thing it seems is that libraries that engage in using the zombie theme, tend to attract media attention due to the coolness factor. But this will wear off. Some of the events have only a very small traditional library information literacy component. There are other benefits of course, engaging users, and even raising the morale of library staff who get to let their hair down, but is it worth the effort?
How does one measure cost-benefit?
Have you done such zombie themes at your library? How did it go?
