And now the game turns, as Stanford starts to pick up yardage on the ground for the first time since the game's opening drives. This drive, however, Stanford's success is not coming because of a lack of Wisconsin familiarity, but rather due to too much Wisconsin familiarity entirely – Stanford's big bodies up front have leaned on the Badgers for long enough that the Big Ten's finest are starting to bend. All of a sudden, Kevin Hogan has time for his passes and the opportunity to benefit from good starting field position on the drive, courtesy a kick-catch interference call on the Badgers.
Starting at his 44, Taylor starts the drive with runs for nine and then two. Hogan finds Ertz for nine and then Montgomery for six, though that play is called back for an illegal block downfield on Kevin Danser. Hogan converts the resulting second and five with a 12-yard scamper, before Taylor runs for eight, and then one. Then, after Taylor's thunder, it's time for lightning on third and one from the Wisconsin 19. Anthony Wilkerson gets to the left corner for eight yards, and we're under six minutes with a fresh set of Stanford downs in the red zone. Taylor loses a yard before gaining seven, and now we're under five minutes left with third and not-quite goal from the Stanford five. Hogan has Toilolo open, and not too many things are too tall for the 6-foot-8 Toilolo, but Hogan's ball is one of them. Still, a 22-yard Williamson kick is good and Stanford just went 66 yards in 12 plays over 6:22. Wisconsin's margin for error is quickly evaporating, though the door is still open.
Stanford 20, Wisconsin 14, 4:23 left
After a Stanford touchback, Melvin Gordon, the No. 3 guy, bounces off a defender to get to the left sideline for 11 yards. Ball follows with four yards to pull the Badgers to their 40 with 3:30 to go. It's Gordon again for five as the clock ticks near three minutes and Wisconsin faces third and one at their 45. Even if they do move the chains, time is going to become an issue soon. Sure enough, Wisconsin does convert, but only after picking up a yard up the middle, as the clock will be near 2:30 come the next snap.
At their 46, Wisconsin is now starting to pass out of necessity, but a five-yard dumpoff stays in bounds and keeps the clock moving. Then comes the dagger. Usua Amanam jumps an underneath dig route for the game's first interception. Phillips telegraphed the throw, never saw Amanam, and had Trent Murphy fast closing out on him. Stanford now has to run out 2:03 and two Wisconsin timeouts.
Stanford 20, Wisconsin 14, 2:03 left
Taylor picks up two as Wisconsin elects to let the clock tick under 1:20. On second and eight, Taylor meets contact four yards after the line but keeps chugging for another three, pulling Stanford to a third and one with a minute left. As the Badgers only have one timeout left, a first down here – one measly yard – will win Stanford the Rose Bowl!
Fittingly, Stanford ran a derivative of power on the final contested snap of the 2013 Rose Bowl. A lineman pulled right to left, and needing one yard, Stepfan Taylor burst through a loaded front to find himself with five before he fell down, both hands on the ball.
The clock counts down to zero in a now-dark Pasadena and cheers erupt as that final mark ticks off the scoreboard. Confetti flies. Camera flashes go off and giant Stanford flags wave near midfield. The dollies and cheerleaders dance as a spirited Stanford band plays "All Right Now" behind the Cardinal end zone. Never have the Stanford fans sung along so vociferously; never has the simple chant of "Five, six, seven, eight" reverberated with such life through the stadium's every last section.
Wisconsin fans have cleared out and the confetti has settled, but chants of "Let's Go Stanford" continue to ring out, 50,000 strong. For the first time in 40 years, your Stanford Cardinal have won the Rose Bowl.

Friendship Across the Miles
Manchester's Turkish community celebrates friendship
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | October 15. 2013 8:48PM
Eyup Sener, left, president of the Turkish Cultural Center of New Hampshire, talks with media award winner Joseph McQuaid, publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, during the Turkish Cultural Center of Manchester's awards dinner, held at the Radisson Hotel, on Tuesday, in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
The Turkish community in New Hampshire is not large, members said. Nor is it like many immigrant groups, who come to the United States to escape political oppression or economic hardship.
But the Cultural Center does teach the Turkish language to children, and it provides opportunities to come together for religious feasts and social events.
"All you hear about is radical Muslim groups," Peterson said. "I had no clue what to expect. They were the nicest people: friendly, kind."

Dance academy 'blanket' hurricane victims with care, warmth
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | December 04. 2012 8:42PM
Members of Operation Miles to Smiles visited an emergency shelter at Breezy Point, N.Y., as part of a relief effort last month. The group will return next week with more than 150 fleece blankets they've collected. From left, Cathy Linden of Concord, Melissa Hoffman of Hudson, New York shelter directors Anne-Marie and Bob, Sandi Duncan of Hudson and J.R. Linden of Concord. (Courtesy)
Sandi Duncan, a dance instructor at Melissa Hoffman Dance Center, said she'd been following reports of the coming October hurricane on the news, but hearing about the storm's immense damage in the Rockaway and Breezy Point sections of New York made her realize the seriousness of the situation.
"It hit my heart deeply," the Hudson resident said. Always trying to keep their students in sync with the surrounding community, members of the dance studio usually make handmade blankets for distribution to area nursing homes, hospitals and shelters during the Christmas season.
This year, those efforts started somewhat earlier, with school founder and Londonderry resident Melissa Hoffman and friends Cathy and J.R. Linden of Concord joining forces with Duncan to form Operation Miles to Smiles, a collective drive to bring handmade fleece blankets, toiletry items and cleaning supplies to the hardest-hit areas of New York.
Almost immediately, the team gathered 65 blankets towards the cause, with the Lindens, who work with the Shaker Road School in Concord, pitching in with 22 more blankets. By Nov. 9, the four-member team was packing up their cars and bound for New York.
"We spread the word through Facebook and within three days we had over 1,000 toiletry items and cleaning supplies," J.R. Linden said. The overall experience affected Duncan greatly. "We were pretty shocked by what we saw there and vowed to return," she added.
"The devastation at Rockaway Beach in particular really prompted us into action."
Qord quickly traveled and other Granite State dance studios and organizations soon jumped on board. Another trip brought another 90 blankets to the Big Apple, along with more cleaning and school supplies.
Operation Miles to Smiles is planning a third trip on Dec. 13, with another 150 blanket to be delivered to their new owners. "The dance community is so generous: we've had donations come from as far away as Florida," said Duncan. They'll depart around 5 a.m. that morning, driving straight into Breezy Point: the plan is to spend the day, visiting with hurricane victims and spreading a bit of joy.
"We'll give them our love and support," said Duncan. She's hoping to bring some of her students along during a fourth trip being planned over the holiday vacation, when they'll deliver their usual items along with plenty of toy and gift items in time for Christmas.
"I think we'll have to rent a box truck for that one," Duncan said with a laugh.
Those wishing to assist Operation Miles to Smiles may bring donations of school supplies, cleaning items, handmade fleece blankets and unwrapped, new toys to Melissa Hoffman Dance Center, located at 210 Robinson Road in Hudson, during regular business hours.
The center is open Monday through Thursday from 4-8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon. For more information call 886-7909 or visit the "Operation Miles to Smiles" Facebook page.

Was wondering if any of you lovely people could give me some advice. I'm currently trying to find employment at a private language school in Korea using various different recruitment agencies.
A recruitment agency called etik/atop - atopesl.com - contacted me with some positions and now i have an interview with one of their schools. This is strange because i have never contacted this company before so i don't know how they got my details!
Anyway.... has anyone heard of this agency before? anyone ever used them? i've heard some horror stories of people ending up at schools that don't fulfill the agreed contract, don't pay you on time, change the working hours without notice etc etc.
I just wanted to find out if anyone has ever heard of this company before? i want a job in Korea ASAP but i don't want to go all the way out there just for them to screw me!
Any info would be much appreciated.

Tree stumps to step over and drum circles to join. Slate easels to draw on and animals to meet. Hollow logs to climb through and dirt to dig in.
What kid wouldn't love it here?
Image courtesy Irvine Nature Center/Facebook
The Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills, Md., has joined a growing list of nature-inspired organizations that encourage kids to explore, respect and protect the environment. Thanks to a growing body of research that supports the benefits of unstructured play and child-nature interaction, places like the Irvine Center—with its trails, garden and outdoor classroom—are popping up all over, getting kids to play in fields and forests instead of on plastic and asphalt.
The idea? When given the chance to roam and run in natural places, kids will learn about and come to love the outdoors, becoming curious environmentalists and new stewards of our watershed.

The Irvine Center's exhibit hall, green building and 116 acres of woods and meadows are open to the public; the Irvine Center's outdoor classroom is open to members and to those who participate in the organization's programs.

I really like the design; I think it's an interesting take on the Derby theme to use the recycling symbol itself as the design element instead of building a narrative around something related to recycling. To me, that makes this a "dressier" shirt, but also one with real visual interest. Very interesting idea, really well-executed!

Luke Bryan
In the early fall of 2001, Bryan pulled up stakes and relocated to Nashville, where his heartfelt songs of country life earned him a contract with one of the city's many publishing houses. In his free time, Bryan continued to perform at local clubs, and after an A&R man from Capitol Records saw him perform a set of his original material, he was given a record deal. Capitol released Bryan's first widely distributed album, I'll Stay Me, in the summer of 2007, following it with Doin' My Thing in 2009. Doin' My Thing peaked at number two on the country charts -- and at number six on the Top 200 -- and it spawned two number one singles: "Rain Is a Good Thing" and "Someone Else Calling You Baby" (while "Do I" hit number two). Bryan returned with his third album, Tailgates & Tanlines, in the summer of 2011, its release preceded by the single "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)." That song was the first of four Top Five country singles pulled from the album: "I Don't Want This Night to End" and "Drunk on You" both hit number one, while "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" peaked at number three. This success kept Tailgates & Tanlines in the charts well into 2012, and Bryan supported the record with steady touring.
Early in 2013, Bryan compiled his four Spring Break-themed EPs since 2009 as the album Spring Break...Here to Party; it promptly became his first number one album on the pop charts. Bryan solidified his standing in country music by winning ACM's prestigious Entertainer of the Year award in June. That August, he released his fourth studio album, Crash My Party, which hit number one on the country charts and the pop charts. Each of the first four singles from the album -- the title track, "That's My Kind of Night," "Drink a Beer," and "Play It Again" -- steadily climbed to number one on the country charts during 2013 and 2014. Bryan chose to close out his series of Spring Break EPs in 2015 with the release of the aptly titled Spring Break...Checkin' Out; the collection went to number one on the Billboard country charts and three on the Billboard 200. Next up was Bryan's fifth full-length album, Kill the Lights, which appeared in 2015 as well. Another number one hit on the Billboard 200, it saw Bryan once again working with producer Jeff Stevens (Jody Stevens was also brought aboard as a co-producer), but unlike Crash My Party, the record saw a heavy dose of originals from Luke: he received writing credits on roughly half of the album's 13 songs. Kill the Lights debuted at number one and was eventually certified platinum, partially on the strength of the hit singles "Kick the Dust Up," "Strip It Down," "Home Alone," "Huntin', Lovin' and Fishin' Every Day," and "Move." In the autumn of 2016, Bryan embarked on his third Farm Tour and released the EP Farm Tour: Here's to the Farmer to commemorate the occasion. The following February, he sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. ~ Mark Deming

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 20, 2013.
I agree with you.
Why trade for Melo when they can just sign him? He said he's willing to take less $$.
He's probably hoping and praying that he has options. The sign of a true leader.
Carmelo Anthony will probably have some better suitors than Detroit. We would have to show that we are one Carmelo away from being a contender. Which we are not. I mean, it is certainly worth a shot.
We signed Josh Smith and Molly Jennings last year. What more do they have to do to show they're ready to win now?
Nice one Ernie, lol! Now let's try this: Imagine you are Carmelo Anthony, you have played in Denver and New York and failed to achieve the ultimate goal. your choices in the table are: Join forces with Lebron, Bosh and Wade. Join forces with D.Howard and Harden. Join forces with Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis. Join forces with Kobe and some other free agent Join forces with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah Join forces with ..... Jennings, Smith and Drummond. What is the most logical choice that you would made? Please, be serious.
If it ain't rough it ain't right sj. Det all the way.
[quote the Slow Adult, post: 340072, member: 218"]Why trade for Melo when they can just sign him? He said he's willing to take less $$.[/quote] La La won't let her hubby move to or sign with Detroit. ..unless she plans on being in a bunch of Transformer or Batman vs Superman sequels
La La won't let her hubby move to or sign with Detroit. ..unless she plans on being in a bunch of Transformer or Batman vs Superman sequels[/quote] If Melo and La La see this video clip...I'm thinking they just might be heading to Detroit:
"Look honey, they've got a farmers market right there in the city!"
You offer reality...This is the time of year I prefer to dream....last 6 years, anyways... NBA's 8 Deadliest 3-Point Shooters of All Time A shooter would be nice...like somebody on this list.
Interesting to see that the big three will get salary increases next season. Each is scheduled to make 1.5 million more per season. Plus...many salaries go off their books this coming year. HoopsHype - NBA Salaries - Miami Heat LeBron: No paycut without roster upgrade - Yahoo Sports
The one that offers to most money. I am dead serious.
Nah. The difference between 19 million and 19.5 million isn't that great, especially once you include taxes. Melo want to compete
To be brutally honest, I've never seen Melo interested in competing. He's interested in scoring a lot, but I don't think he really understands what it means to be competitive.
I have always thought the opposite. Every time I watch the Knicks I see him hustling his heart out and the rest of his team being disinterested and lazy.
It was two facets of one thing.

"The only hard part about making these labels was having to choose from so many beautiful options! They were easy to customize and the finished label looked just like I designed it. Love them!"
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"

Pandemic and Communicable Disease Emergency Policy
The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 10/17/08
UNC Pandemic and Communicable Disease Emergency Policy
The purpose of this policy is to outline provisions covering the following human resource areas in case of (1) a communicable disease or (2) other serious public health threat that is declared by the public health officials to be a public health emergency:
I. Purpose:
a) Designation of mandatory employees
b) Compensation for mandatory employees
c) Accounting for absences
d) Emergency lay-off provisions
This policy applies to University of North Carolina non-faculty employees who are exempt from the State Personnel Act (EPA).
II. Definitions:
Epidemic: A disease occurring suddenly in a community, region or country in numbers clearly in excess of normal. This includes the occurrence of several cases of a disease associated with a common source.
Pandemic: The worldwide outbreak of a serious communicable disease in numbers clearly In excess of normal.
Incubation Period: The time, usually in days, between exposure to an illness and the onset of symptoms.
Isolation: [Authority: G.S. 130A-2(3a)] Restriction of movement and/or action of individuals infected with a communicable disease to reduce the chance of spreading disease.
Quarantine [Authority: (G.S. 130A-2(7a)] Restriction of movement and/or action of individuals who are known to have been exposed to or may reasonably be suspected to have been exposed to a communicable disease and who do not yet show signs or symptoms of infection.
Mandatory Employees: Employees who are required to work during a public health emergency because their positions have been designated by their agencies as mandatory to agency operations during the emergency.
Social Distancing: Actions taken to reduce the opportunities for close contact between people in order to limit the spread of a disease.
The University: The University of North Carolina or any of its constituent institutions or affiliated entities.
III. Responsibility:
In case of a public health emergency, the Governor has broad powers to issue an emergency order to protect the public health. In accordance with General Statute 166A-6, the Governor may close all schools, community colleges, universities, childcare and adult day care facilities and order that no public events shall be held where large numbers of people are gathered in one physical location. The Governor may also close all non-mandatory State services and order mandatory services to remain operational.
In case of a public health emergency, while awaiting a decision by the Governor or State or Local Public Health Director, the President of the University of North Carolina has the authority to make emergency closing decisions he/she deems appropriate for the University. (For employees subject to the State Personnel Act (SPA), see the policy on Communicable Disease Emergency in the State Personnel Manual.) He/she may delegate such authority to the chancellors of constituent institutions and the heads of university affiliated entities. If circumstances permit, the University President or Chancellor shall confer with local/State public health officials to determine the severity of the individual situation and to determine what actions shall be taken (including closure of the University). However, each University campus shall adhere to any communicable disease orders of the State or local public health agencies to prevent transmission of a communicable disease. All closings shall be reported to the State Personnel Director and the Governor within five days after the occurrence.
If the President of the University, or one of his designees, issues an emergency closing decision, the University shall notify public health officials as soon as reasonably possible. Management shall inform employees and employees shall inform management of any evidence of a communicable disease that could seriously endanger the health of others in the workplace. Management shall immediately notify the local health department. Each constituent institution shall define this protocol within their continuity of operations plan guidelines.
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 130A-145, the State Health Director and local health director are empowered to exercise quarantine and isolation authority. Quarantine and isolation authority shall be exercised only when and so long as the public health is endangered, all other reasonable means for correcting the problem have been exhausted, and no less restrictive alternative exists.
Note: The most recent list of reportable diseases as compiled by the State Health Commission is found in the Administrative Code 10A NCAC 41A.0101. The list is constantly updated as new diseases emerge.
IV. Possible Actions During a Pandemic:
During a communicable disease outbreak, any of the following may occur:
a) Closing of one or more universities or parts of a university by order of the Governor;
b) Closing of one or more universities or parts of a university or affiliate as authorized by the University President or the Chancellor, while awaiting a decision by the Governor or State or Local Public Health Director;
c) Closing of a university or parts of a university by agreement between Public Health officials and a University authority or by order of Public Health officials;
d) Concurrence by Public Health officials and/or the university authority that an employee(s) should be excluded from the workplace;
e) Isolation of an ill or symptomatic employee(s) by Public Health officials; or
f) Quarantine of an exposed or potentially ill employee(s) by Public Health officials.
V. Social Distancing:
In order to minimize transmission from person to person, the Pandemic and Communicable Emergency Plan for each constituent institution or affiliate should have in place social distancing provisions to implement immediately upon orders from the Governor and/or Public Health officials.
A constituent institution or affiliate may choose to practice social distancing by use of alternate worksites or teleworking. The University President or Chancellor is authorized to establish immediate telework arrangements, bypassing the normal requirements, as outlined in the University internal teleworking policy and procedures, during the declared emergency. Employees required to work under social distancing provisions shall receive regular pay.
Social distancing is designed to limit the spread of a disease by reducing the opportunities for close contact between people. It can be accomplished by administrative and engineering controls. Examples include:
a) reducing face-to-face exposure by using conference calls and video conferencing;
b) avoiding unnecessary travel;
c) canceling meetings, workshops, training sessions and scheduled events;
d) requiring employees to work from home to reduce exposure in the workplace;
e) establishing flexible working hours to avoid mass transportation, at least during peak hours;
f) installing protective barriers between work stations or increasing space between workers;
g) reinforcing hand washing and requiring the use of protective equipment such as hand sanitizers and masks (provided by the agency);
h) scheduling employees in shifts;
i) controlling access to buildings; and
j) requiring asymptomatic individuals traveling to affected countries/areas not to return to work until one incubation period has passed after returning home.
VI. Mandatory Employees:
The University President and Chancellor shall predetermine and designate mandatory operations in case of a pandemic emergency or communicable disease, and designate the employees to staff these operations.
The University shall maintain a list of mandatory employees by position, including current employee name and contact information. The University President and Chancellor shall develop an alternative plan for personnel in case the designated personnel are quarantined or ill. Alternative workers may include current employees who are not designated as mandatory but who possess the skills to fill in for mandatory employees, retirees, contract workers, or other temporary employees. This will be especially important in a pandemic that may last for several weeks or months.
Employees designated as mandatory personnel shall be notified of such designation and the requirement to report for, or remain at, work in emergency situations, and receive appropriate information and training as may be needed. If mandatory personnel are required to remain at the worksite for an extended period of time, the University will provide adequate housing and food.
VII. Compensation of Mandatory Employees:
When management determines that only mandatory employees are required to report to work, subject to the availability of funds, all permanent EPA non-faculty employees shall be granted time and one-half pay for all hours worked with the exception of the following:
1) Faculty
2) Senior officers of the University of North Carolina who are subject to the provisions of Section II of the policy on Senior Academic and Administrative Officers (The UNC Policy Manual: 300.1.1)
3) Associate and assistant vice chancellors
4) Associate and assistant provosts
5) Associate and assistant deans
However, at the discretion of the President or Chancellor, employees in positions listed above may be eligible for pay at time and one-half, or may be granted compensatory time in lieu of time and one-half pay, following the emergency event.
Only eligible EPA non-faculty employees who are required to work on-site at their regular work location or at an assigned work location, other than the employee's home, shall be eligible for time and one-half pay. This compensation provision applies to employees who are exempt and non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It does not include temporary employees under any circumstances unless they are deemed mandatory for purposes of this policy. In that event, the leave and compensation policies shall not apply.
When necessary and available, payment of salaries normally funded from non-State funds may be made from State funds. Administrators shall aggressively pursue reimbursement from other funding sources where possible.
VIII. Leave:
Employees will not be penalized for using leave, in order to encourage those with symptoms associated with a communicable disease to stay home so that they do not infect other employees, and to allow employees with ill family members to stay home to care for them.
a) Quarantined by a Public Health official: When an employee is quarantined, the employee shall be granted paid administrative leave until the specified period of time ends or the employee becomes ill with the communicable disease, whichever comes first.
b) Employee is required by the University to stay home: If the university administration believes that an employee has symptoms associated with a communicable disease, the constituent institution or affiliate may require the employee not to report to work and to use compensatory leave, sick leave, vacation leave, or bonus leave.
c) If the University is closed: Although all efforts should be made to allow non-mandatory employees to work from an alternative location, it may not always be possible. When a University is closed or when the university administration determines that only mandatory employees are required to report to work, the non-mandatory employees who are not required to work shall, at the discretion of the University President or Chancellor, be granted paid administrative leave (i.e., not charging leave) for up to 30 calendar days. The employee's pay shall continue at the same rate the employee would have received had the employee been working (including any premium pay normally received). If adjustments need to be made, they shall be made in the next paycheck after returning to work.
d) If an employee becomes ill: If the employee becomes ill and it is determined to be work related (exposure is greater than that of the general public) in accordance with the Workers' Compensation Act, the Workers' Compensation Policy applies. If the employee is isolated or becomes ill as a result of off-the-job exposure, the Sick Leave Policy applies. The provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Policy and the Family Illness Leave Policy shall also apply.
e) Advisory Note: Should an employee not have sufficient sick leave available, the University may work with the employee to advance a reasonable amount of leave or make arrangements for the employee to make up the time if the University determines that the work situation will allow it.
IX. Verification:
Employees who have symptoms of a communicable disease and are required to stay home or who are ill with the communicable disease should be cautioned not to return to work until they are sure they are fully recovered.
The University may require certification of fitness to work from a health care provider.
If quarantined, it is the employee's responsibility to provide the University with a written verification of his or her status from a Public Health official.
X. Day care or public and private school closings/Elder Care:
When the University is open but an employee who is a parent (or guardian) is required to stay home with a child (as defined in the FMLA) because of the closure of a day care facility or a public or private school, the non-mandatory employee may, with approval of the supervisor, be allowed to work at home or elect to:
a) use vacation leave,
b) use bonus leave,
c) use sick leave,
d) use compensatory leave,
e) take leave without pay, or
f) make up time in accordance with the parameters for making up time during adverse weather. The University may extend the make-up time to 24 months if necessary.
These provisions also apply for eldercare.
The University has the right to request appropriate documentation to substantiate need.
XI. Review of Policy Provisions:
In the event this policy is triggered, the President or Chancellor must review the compensation and leave provisions every thirty (30) days and, as appropriate, take any of the following steps:
a) Renew the compensation and leave provisions for another 30 days.
b) Revise the compensation and leave provisions for up to another 30 days.
c) Terminate the compensation and leave provisions if the public health emergency has ended.
Any changes in the compensation and leave provisions must be communicated to employees in a timely manner. Pending a renewal or revision, the employee may be allowed to take leave (compensatory, sick, vacation, bonus) until a decision is made.
XII. Emergency Furlough:
An emergency furlough (temporary lay-off from which employees are expected to be recalled) may be declared if the constituent institution or affiliate remains totally closed or partially closed for an indefinite period of time.
During an emergency furlough, employees who are furloughed are entitled to participate in the State Health Plan. The University shall continue paying the employer contribution on behalf of the employee. The University also may pay the employee contribution for the pay period following the furlough, with the provision that the employee shall repay the State for any contribution made on his or her behalf.
An employee will continue to accrue vacation and sick leave while on emergency furlough.
An employee will continue to receive total State service while on emergency furlough.
An employee may be eligible for unemployment benefits through the North Carolina Employment Security Commission while on emergency furlough. Employees should contact the North Carolina Employment Security Commission for further details. If, at the end of the emergency furlough period it is determined that the University no longer requires the services of these employees, normal University lay-off provisions would apply.
XIII. Other Provisions:
Hiring: During the communicable disease emergency, if new hires are needed to cover emergency operations, the University President or Chancellor is authorized to execute the immediate hiring of an individual who is determined to be qualified and able to do the work by:
i) waiving the posting policy,
ii) waiving the minimum qualifications policy, and
iii) waiving the hiring of relatives (nepotism) policy.
Employees hired under these conditions should be given a temporary or time-limited permanent appointment.
The University President or Chancellor is also authorized to offer competitive salaries for the duration of the emergency.

Hey guys,
My father-in-law has been in town for the last two weeks, he brought his former Brother-in-law (still good pals) and tried a little fly-fishing around this corner of Maine. Now, Ernie is from the UK and has never shot a firearm. So, I introduced him to my small collection (Armory) and he was dumbfounded that I could maintain this in my home. Anyway, he was very attracted to the M1 Carbine. Every firearm has a story with me so it takes a while. I explained the Carbine was an intermediate weapon issued to truck drivers, officers and certain MOS's where a pistol was not the best choice and it was harder to teach a soldier pistol mastery versus riflemanship and so on. I offered for him to pick out five or so and we can go shooting. We took a few rifles, the carbine and a black powder musket.
You could not wipe the grin off his face especially after taking several short video clips with my M-16, streams of brass in the air and impacts down range. BUT he was most impressed with the replica 1853 3 band 58 caliber rifled musket. Something about the character of that musket...
Two days later, I was working the midnight shift and dropped in on them around 6 AM. I informed Ernie that I was in need of a nitrocellulose fix and invited him to go shooting again instead of fishing that morning. I met him an hour later when I got off duty. This time we had an Enfield No 4, a Glock 22C, Ruger GP100 and Beretta 96D. As we shot the 100 year newer design rifle first(from the 1853 Musket). Then starting at 10 yards with 38 Spcl wadcutters for initial training, shooting a full size silhouette target. He starts out very well, then we try standard 38 Spcl loads then some old 38 Spcl +P Silver Tips, we had moved back maybe another five yards and the groups started opening up to most of the target. No problem, remember he is maybe five minutes into shooting a handgun. We walk back to the truck to get more ammo and I'm telling him about full power 357 Magnum loads. He wants to give it a try-at 50 yards no less. OK. The first round with magnum concussion flat out ruins the rest of the revolver session. Now he is closing his eyes and flinching. I had set up steel targets all across the berm where the target was planted and dropped 12, 12" plates in rapid succession but had to explain I have thirty someodd years of handgun training and I hunt with a Ruger Redhawk... A little shooting of the other pistols and thinking back to the story behind the Carbine, Ernie proclaimed he was a rifleman .

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is great, but many of our enterprise clients want those cloud services and values delivered on premise, behind their firewall, which may feel more comfortable for protecting their intellectual property (even if it isn't). AWS isn't very interested in providing an on-premise version of its solution (and I don't blame them). Today's partnership announcement with Eucalyptus Systems doesn't address this customer demand but does give some degree of assurance that your private cloud can be AWS compatible.
This partnership is a key value for organizations who have already seen significant adoption of AWS by their developers, as those empowered employees have established programmatic best practices for using these cloud services — procedures that call AWS' APIs directly. Getting them to switch to your private cloud (or use both) would mean a significant change for them. And winning over your developers to use your cloud is key to a successful private cloud strategy. It also could double your work to design and deploy cloud management solutions that span the two environments.

Laura Harvey was full of praise for her side after Arsenal bounced back from defeat against Everton to beat Lincoln 4-0 at Meadow Park on Thursday.
The Gunners put in a impressive display against the Lady Imps with goals from Julie Fleeting, Danielle Carter and a brace from Kim Little doing the damage.
"It was important to bounce back strongly after what happened at the weekend," Harvey told Arsenal.com.
"It hurts to lose to Everton and we wanted to put it right, which we did. We needed a reaction from the players and we got it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Springfield, Ohio — The Ohio Historic Preservation Advisory Board has recommended that Wittenberg University be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was announced today following a meeting of the board in Columbus.
"We are pleased that our campus received this recommendation, as it is a testament to our ongoing efforts to preserve Wittenberg's history and historic ties to Springfield," said Rob Munson, vice president for finance and administration.
The board has recommended to Ohio's State Historic Preservation Officer, Burt Logan, that Wittenberg's nomination be forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for consideration. The process for being officially listed on the register may take three to four months.
The proposed Wittenberg University Historic District encompasses much of the Wittenberg campus and 28 buildings on it, 24 of which are considered to contribute to the significance of the proposed district. One building, Myers Hall, is already listed on the National Register, having been added to it in 1975.
The proposed historic district would add the campus itself and many campus landmarks to the National Register, among them Recitation Hall, Zimmerman Hall, Carnegie Hall, Blair Hall, Koch Hall, Woodlawn Hall, Weaver Chapel and Weaver Observatory.
The 17-member board is appointed by the governor to advise the Ohio Historical Society and the state on historic preservation matters. It includes professionals in history, architecture, archaeology and other historic preservation related disciplines as well as citizen members. The board meets four times each year to consider proposed Ohio nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and conduct other business.
A nationally ranked university for the liberal arts and sciences affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Wittenberg University has repeatedly been ranked throughout the years by the Princeton Review for the quality of its teaching and faculty, including 11th in the nation for "Best Classroom Experience" and 15th in the category "Professors Get High Marks" in the 2011 edition of Princeton's annual Best Colleges guide. Most recently, Wittenberg earned the No. 4 spot in the category of "Most Accessible Professors."
Additionally, The Chronicle of Higher Education named Wittenberg one of the nation's top producers of Fulbright Scholars among bachelor degree-granting institutions in 2010. The university has also been recognized nationally for excellence in service and athletics.

Eartha Steward: The raw milk movement
October 24, 2012
Dear Eartha,
My friend just moved to Vermont and was telling me about "raw milk" the other day. What makes milk raw?
– Michaela, Summit Cove
Nothing makes me happier than sitting down to a big glass of milk and some cookies, especially if it is raw milk! Dairy is a huge part of the American diet yet most of us have no understanding of the process except that it must involve a cow at some point or another. It wasn't until Mr. Stewart and I took the kiddies on a raw milk dairy tour last summer that we began our journey to understand the political, economic and health issues that are all stirred up in a simple glass of milk.
Raw milk is produced by raising healthy and sustainable animals. A typical day in the life of these animals starts off with a morning milking followed by plenty of outdoor access. Milk is then poured through what looks like a coffee filter and chilled. Simple as that!
Each state has their own legislation pertaining to raw milk sales. Some states outlaw advertisement, some only allow for on-farm sales, and others require labels such as "for animal consumption only."
The funny thing is, the raw milk process used to be how everyone got their milk. However, since the late 1800s the process has changed. Pasteurization and homogenization took the place of healthy cows and quality control.
Pasteurization is a band-aid that "fixes" the surface issues that have developed in our industrial dairy system. Pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization are processes of heating milk to temperatures between 161-275 degrees to kill bad bacteria that are bound to develop in CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) and in animals fed an unnatural diet (i.e. corn and slaughterhouse byproducts). Unfortunately, this kills the good bacteria (lactobacillus) which promotes healthy digestion; something raw milk has plenty of.
After pasteurization, milk is homogenized to keep the cream from separating as it does in raw milk. This allows us to go into the grocery store and pick from whole milk, 2 percent, 1 percent or skim. Non-homogenized milk, or raw milk, lets the cream rise to the surface where it can be removed and made into butter, ice cream and more!
Dairy choices give us, the consumers, a vote every time we go to a grocery store, farmers market or ranch. There are resources for raw milk in Colorado but they must be purchased as a "share" of the animal in order to keep it legal.
Take a peek at http://www.localsustainability.net to find the Rocky Mountain Growers Directory and sources for raw dairy and other sustainable goodies. It's been difficult to find raw milk near our home up here in the mountains so when we are able to get raw milk, we do, and we celebrate! Otherwise I try to get whole organic milk that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized.
Kolona Super Natural dairy products are my second favorite right behind some freshly chilled raw milk. They buy from only sustainable (grass fed, no hormones, and no chemicals) farms with average herd sizes of 35 cows to keep up quality care and processing control. There is no homogenization and they keep the pasteurization process as minimal as possible.
We have the power to tell the industrial food system that we want real food, from real farms, grown by real people. Whether it is milk, meat, veggies, or fruits, it's you dollar that shows the corporations what we really want.
To read more about the raw milk movement nationwide and here in Colorado, check out http://www.rawmilkcolorado.org. Better yet! Contact the High Country Conservation Center and sign up for its dairy processing class on Monday, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Colorado Mountain College culinary kitchen in Breckenridge. It is a great opportunity to hear about the differences between raw milk and industrial milk. You can also learn how to make fantastic dairy products at home such as yogurt, soft cheeses, kefir and more. Hope to see you all there!

Mountain Law: What is the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act?
October 30, 2012
President Obama touted at one of the recent debates his accomplishment of signing into law the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. What is the act and what does it do?To provide some background, Ledbetter was employed by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company from 1979 until 1998. After retiring in 1998, she filed a claim against Goodyear under Title VII (the federal discrimination statute) alleging that she had been denied pay raises a number of times during her employment because of sexual discrimination. As a result, she was earning significantly less than her male counterparts at the end of her time with the company. At trial, the jury found in Ledbetter's favor and awarded her back pay and other damages. Goodyear then appealed the case on the basis that Title VII requires claims to be made within a few months after alleged discrimination occurs and Ledbetter did not show that any discrimination occurred during this period before she made her claim. In response, Ledbetter argued that each lower paycheck she received was discriminatory because it reflected the company's past discriminatory actions. The case ultimately reached the Supreme Court, which found in a four to five decision in 2007 that Ledbetter's claim was untimely under Title VII. In reaching this decision, the court focused on when the discrimination itself occurred, not when the impact was felt. It found that a person must show that discrimination itself occurred during the few months allowed for a Title VII claim, not just that the impact of the discrimination occurred during that period (e.g. in the form of lower paychecks). Otherwise, Ledbetter could make a claim in 1998 for Goodyear's discrimination in 1979 because the impact was felt in 1998. The court concluded that, when Congress imposed the strict Title VII claims period, it did not intend to allow claims for actions occurring outside the claims period.Congress did not agree with the Supreme Court's interpretation of Title VII, so it passed the act in direct response to, and for the purpose of reversing, the Supreme Court's decision. The act specifically expressed Congress's belief that the decision "unduly restrict[ed] the time period in which victims of discrimination can challenge and recover for discriminatory compensation decisions or other practices, contrary to the intent of Congress." As a result, the act amended Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 so that the time for an employee to make a claim against an employer for illegal practices resulting in unequal pay or benefits under any of those laws can run from when the employee receives the unequal pay or benefits. The act would allow Ledbetter to make a claim against Goodyear for discrimination resulting in unequal pay so long as she made the claim within a few months after receiving her last paycheck with the unequal pay. The act is retroactive to May 28, 2007, meaning it would include any illegal employment practice that occurred before May 2007 if it resulted in lower pay or poorer benefits the employee was still receiving as of May 28, 2007.Proponents of the act trumpet that it greatly expands the time in which employees can make claims for pay discrimination, which is necessary given the difficulty of discovering pay disparity. In contrast, critics of the law bemoan that it overturns longstanding Supreme Court precedent and will expose employers to stale claims that may be difficult to defend given the passage of time. As with many laws, where people stand may depend on where they sit. Noah Klug is principal of The Klug Law Firm, LLC, located in Summit County.

Love it!
The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes on the floor with the paw prints are yours and contain your food.
The other dishes are mine and contain my food.
Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate does not mean that is suddenly your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the top of the stairs is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this.
Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space that you are taking up, is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
(1) They live here....you don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
(7) don't smoke or drink,
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.....
One for us pet lovers, Thanks CJ.. [IMG][/IMG]
Epic, sell their children, what a novel idea...
$ 2,000.00 + on X-rays, radiologists' reports and a visit to a canine neurologist.
$ 5,500.00 on surgery to replace his right rear elbow with a new titanium one.
$ 2,200.00 on a MRI of his spine because he was still having problems.
$10,000.00 lost income because I had to take time off from work to nurse him back to health (he was too wounded to go to the kennel, come to work with me, or be left home alone.)
He is fine now, but all the doctor's failed him at one point or another. The anti-seizure medication he was on was causing "ataxia" (spelling?), a weakness of the hind quarters. That weakness caused the odd gait he developed and resulted in the destroyed elbow. The MRI came back negative, so the diagnosis was nerve degeneration.
We switched from the anti-seizure meds he was taking to another one. All the weakness (ataxia) disappeared. The diagnosis from the MRI was then judged to be erroneous.
He is moving fine, seems fine, and is happy. I think he's good to go the distance. But anytime anyone says that dogs don't cost much clearly has not had my experiences. (My Doberman Pincher was similarly expensive.)
From a non-dog owner's point of view, for $19,000.00 you could easily have bought 10 new dogs. Doesn't work for a dog owner, however.
Other than that point, an amusing tale.
...the point was that dogs don't ask for money, children do. Glad your dog is all right.From a non-dog owner's point of view, for $19,000.00 you could easily have bought 10 new dogs. Doesn't work for a dog owner, however.
Other than that point, an amusing tale.
Actually have this on my refrigerator, and yes, it's at dog height. Can't count the amount of times people bend over to read the whole thing. I always point out that the magnets holding it there are easily removed and replace due to their opposable thumbs. Then I point and laugh at them.
I used to give the dog one each night.
One day a friend came over and when I was not looking he took one of the "bran muffins" and started eating it.
"Interesting," he said after the first bite.
"I guess it takes some getting used to," he commented after the second bite.
"Those are dog muffins," I said.
"Hmm. Not bad for dog muffins, but I've had better." (He stopped eating the rest of the muffin.)
Love it...thanks for the post and the smiles.....just brought a new one home from the shelter and I will have her read it.............JJ

Arguably one of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a manmade wonder. Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited, with over 25 million guests per year.
Set in the middle of bustling Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe haven, not only for athletes, daydreamers, musicians, and strollers, but also for teems of migratory birds each year. One can spend an entire peaceful day roaming its grounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges and arches.
With recreational facilities abounding, the more energetic won't have a problem finding a spot to skate, pedal, row, dribble, or climb to his or her heart's delight. Although Central Park has 21 official playgrounds, we like to think of it as one gigantic jungle gym in its peak season.
150 years' worth of visitors have enjoyed and recommended Central Park; don't you think it's time for your turn?

The curse of the classics
Reading fiction is not a rationalistic act of enlightenment. Like life itself, reading novels has no definite final outcome, except The End. We are always changing throughout this campaign of page turning and our literary memories shapeshift too. Every book we read in some way nudges our stubborn psychological DNA into reaction and affects our impressions of the book we read before and the one we shall read after.
I have an aversion to being told what I should like or dislike so I abandoned reviews, critical consensus and the judgment of others long ago. For my answers I go where I always have - to second- hand bookshops. Meandering, you browse free of any concepts of canons and frantic opinions; the novels are refreshingly free of any order and the browser is exposed to a book display of random chance rather than of cultural weight, media promotion or the latest fad. The full variety and the exhilaration of all that humanity has written down can be right there. Or just Harold Robbins' complete works and 13 copies of Goldfinger. It is up to each of us to conclude which books we should not be reading. We might be missing out on something important, so we cannot trust anyone but ourselves. Let us not say we should celebrate a few select books. I say: profusion, abundance, read more, more, more!
--Alan Warner, The Curse of the Classics

On the annual Gay Pride parade in Budapest, eight foot high metal fences cordoned off Andrassy ut, the central street in and out of Budapest. Neither pedestrians nor traffic could pass the street, and a constant stream of ambulances, army cars, and riot police patrolled up and down. Helicopters swarmed overhead, adding an ominous drone to the sirens, whistles and hushed strained violence according to a Budapest Sun reporter. The Budapest gay pride parade was scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m but by 3:00 p.m. police had confied onlookers to individual blocks of sidewalks.Dozens of black clad men and women stood behind the barriers or restlessly paced on the sidewalk. A few moments before the parade there was the angry sound of chanting and yelling from the crowd.
The parade of gay men and women began as five armored cars preceded them down the street. "The violence trapped in the crowd exploded into action. A roar of outrage rippled up each side of the barrier, tomatoes flew through the air, left arms rose" as the neo-Nazi crowd displayed their true feelings. Three dozen police followed the parade dressed in riot gear and prepared for action.
According to the Budapest Sun reporter, "both sides will claim a victory. The nationalists made their statement against immorality and police control: the homosexuals and their sympathizers expressed themselves despite considerable adversity."
Hopefully, some day men and women will be allowed to express their sexual feelings and beliefs without fear of violence. That day has yet to come to Budapest.
