Collateral damage(of Imperial intervention)comes to US embassy in Benghazi
The killing of US ambassador in Libya and 3 other State Dept. staff is a direct consequence of US and NATO's Imperial regime change policy. Last year, after NATO forces dropped thousands of bombs and shipped in tons of lethal weapons to aid the rebels, the Gaddafi regime was violently overthrown by a loose coalition of tribal militias, gangs of armed thugs, and openly-admitted al Qaeda elements. Untold thousands of Libyans were killed, and the already tribally-divided society quickly dissolved into destabilized enclaves, many of whom remain lawless armed camps with their own respective militants and still do not answer to the Western-installed central government. This is the hornet's nest that was predictably unleashed by the violent regime change policy of the US-led mad C.O.W.s(Coalition of Oilers & Warmongers).
Because the current Libyan governing council is fundamentally the product of outside foreign interests, not the outcome of a genuine citizens' alliance of democratic forces, the resultant chaos and bitter score-settling by various tribal groups is now the primary legacy of Western Imperialist intervention. This is the basic background of current instability in the aftermath of Gaddafi's demise. Thus, it is crystal clear that whichever Western "superpower" that instigated the violence against Tripoli last year is the primary culprit in today's Lawlessness. Hence, the latest killing of American representatives constitutes the unpredictable but inevitable "blowback" of Washington's aggressive and militant foreign policy objectives. However the White House chooses to blame the killings on "extreme elements," keen observers ocnclude that more violence and instability will continue to reign in this part of oil-rich North Africa.

The asinine criticism from GOP's Mitt Romney on Obama's handling of the Libyan consulate burning reveals more than the political desperation from the Romney camp. On a deeper level, it reflects the dilemma facing the ruling elite of a declining USA empire. In today's difficult days facing Washington--losing economic leverage and exhausting its so-called 'soft power' options all across the Planet, the military option(plus its related option of regime change destabilization policies)is now the only strong arm of US Imperialism. But as shown by the debacles in both Iraq and Afghanistan, even that Big Stick doesn't work anymore. So the Yankee Wall Street-Pentagon ruling elite is in a no-win conundrum: either accept the decline of the Evil Empire gracefully, or double down on more overseas miltary interventions, which can often result in unpredictable "blowbacks." Hence, the previous 5-decade-long unity between the Repugnicants and the Dim-o-craps on US foreign policy of attaining Full Spectrum Dominance has now given way to open bickering and infighting between the 2 corporate-bin-Laden parties, on how to reverse the rapidly declining fortunes of a moribund Capitalist "superpower." And so far the vicious dogfights are looking uglier by the week... Stay tuned.

The divine fire within -- Part 1
Episode 1: Episode 1: Our restless, insatiable spirit (27 min.)
"We humans are infinite spirits in a finite situation, and that's a sure formula for restlessness," Fr. Rolheiser tells interviewer Tom Fox. "You want to make love to the whole world, you want to consume the planet but you're confined to one person, one place. … These energies — this divine fire —make up our spirit. How we direct that spirit is spirituality. Our spirit is restless because it's divine and insatiable."

The divine fire within
Fr. Ronald Rolheiser — author, lecturer, retreat leader, columnist and spiritual guide — is one of the most influential voices in Catholic spirituality today. A member of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, he is president of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas. Rolheiser's books and lectures call Catholics to new ways of thinking about church for the 21st century. He is re-imagining and re-formulating Catholic doctrine and spirituality for a younger generation.
A transcript of this inteview is available here: Transcript [3]. Fox can be reached at: email@example.com [4]
Books by Ronald Rolheiser
Secularity and the Gospel: Being Missionaries to Our Children (Crossroad). Missionary work formerly meant bringing the Gospel to faraway places and other peoples. Today, even our own children know little about the Gospel. Fr. Ronald Rolheiser shows how Christian faith can thrive in a secular world.
Forgotten Among the Lilies: Learning to Love Beyond Our Fears (Doubleday). Rolheiser focuses on the obsessions that can dominate modern lives. "This book is for those who struggle to make this life, such as it is, enough." Rolheiser explores the debilitating obsessions that often dominate our lives and offers guidance for learning to leave our fears, anxieties, and guilt "forgotten among the lilies."
The Holy Longing: The Search for a Christian Spirituality (Doubleday). Rolheiser shows how to channel restlessness and deep desire into a healthy spirituality.
The Restless Heart: Finding our Spiritual Home in Times of Loneliness (Doubleday). Rolheiser addresses the problems of loneliness and isolation in the present age. He identifies different types of loneliness and discusses the dangers and opportunities they represent in our lives, offering a distinctively Christian approach to living an examined, involved life.
The Shattered Lantern: Rediscovering a Felt Presence of God (Crossroad). Faith, if not shattered, is shaken by secular culture. Rolheiser looks at the contemplative path in Christian spirituality.

Why is the value of Beretta's droping?
I was trying to sell my 96 and couldn't even get any nibbles. I have over $650 into it and nobody was even interested at $450.
What gives?

Why is the value of Beretta's droping?
I was trying to sell my 96 and couldn't even get any nibbles. I have over $650 into it and nobody was even interested at $450.
What gives?
I haven't noticed that the Beretta values were in decline. But I'll have to say that I haven't been shopping prices on used 92/96's either, so I may be completely overlooking that fact. I did notice that the PX4 asking prices have gone up by 15% or more in the last few months. I ordered mine in early November... the same place is asking $70 more today. I've seen quite a few examples of that.
One other observation... I think someone made this point on the other Beretta forum earlier this week... Beretta doesn't put the oomph in advertising like Springfield does. I've seen ALOT of XD fans with the "gotta have" attitude with the new XD-45 ACP. Of course, I'm not talking about a few folks... Springfield has created tremendous interest and momentum with their newest offering. I don't know that you could say that with any of the Beretta handguns right now.
I think that T company from S America is cutting sales of Beretta new and used. I have never found the full size Beretta's appealing my self . So I can't falut them in any way as I have no experiance with them .Other than holding at gun shop. Now smaller ones I do like.
I have noticed that new full size are readily available for less than $600.00. The Cheetah has not gone down at all. I have been looking and no one has any used and all new ones are about $475.00.
It's a tough sell. I paid $150 for a Bersa T380. My goal is to have a nice Beretta collection. I hopefully will add Cheetah to my collection this year, then go for a Tomcat.
I think the Cougar will be as big as I go for a while. Although a 92 or 96 will be added sooner than later.
Were I shop for Pistols the price of the 92/96 series is $309 for a used one & $549 for a NIB 96 INOX..
I believe these prices are a bit lower than in the rest of the country..
Originally Posted by Beretta92
It's down to $509 today. There was a $549 96 Inox witht the "United We Stand" signature, but the standard Inox, like I said, is at $509. And, my friend, you've just convinced me that the prices/values may indeed be dropping. That is an excellent deal for a new 96. It is, however, contrary to the price direction of the new PX4's, which are now north of $500 in most places.
At the Houston Reliant gun show 2 weeks ago, I saw new Bruniton 92 Berettas going for as low as $455. That's really not bad - My local shop charged around $550.
Do you guys think that maybe it has something to do with the military interest in a new .45? I've heard that dealers are seeing a declining interest in the 92, which is bringing the asking price down. I think it has a lot to do with the lack of advertising, as menthioned earlier. When you've got it, flaunt it!!!
I don't know why, but I heard that Beretta lowered the wholesale price of the various 92s. MAYBE to get rid of them, since they are coming out with that new monstrosity :P
As for the PX4 - it's just dealer gouging that constitutes that price increase. I still see those cheap if you know where to look.
With the prices dropping, looks like a good time to get a few new family members. Dont want my 96 to get lonely by itself in the gun rack :-D
96F/Cen Night Sights. Centurion
11-SHOTS, Used in very good condition. Includes 11-Round
If I needed another 96 I would be all over that

Say Cheese! Cheeseburger Pizza for lunch!Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
My family loves pizza and I love the challenge of coming up with different kinds of pizza! I make it a personal mission to come up with new, easy, fun and yummy family meals. I also work full time in Sales & Marketing and have 4 active children. My time is short and my energy level low at the end of the day so fast is a must! We all know once the snack cabinet is open while waiting for food, appetites for dinner will diminish!
I had this idea for a simple cheeseburger "stir fry" and it just evolved into pizza!
"Cheeseburger stir fry"
Spray your heated pan with cooking spray. Cook 1/4 cup of diced onions until translucent then add one pound of ground beef. Cook/scramble beef thoroughly draining off the grease when done. While mixture is hot stir in 3-5 tablespoons of ketchup and 1-2 tablespoons of dijon mustard. Taste the mixture and adjust to suite your taste.
Spread the cheeseburger mixture on your favorite pizza crust. I topped with american cheese but use whatever you like on your cheeseburger! You could also add cooked bacon (but I did not) for a bacon cheeseburger variety. Cook until crust is cooked/heated and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and add your favorite cheeseburger toppings such as pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard etc.
For a gluten-free version for my son I simply skipped the crust and stirred the cheese into the mixture. I served it to him as the original "stir fry" mixture I envisioned.
For lunch I packed a slice in my Easylunchboxes container and included:
- Mangos & blackberries
- Snyder's Gluten Free Pretzels

Our Students
The devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010 destroyed 70 percent of the country's schools.
While people from around the world have contributed to disaster relief funds, University of Virginia rising second-year student Ania Turnier, a native of Haiti, hopes to make a long-term impact by starting a student organization to improve the education of Haitian children.
"We've been suffering in terms of development for a long time," Turnier said. "Now Haiti needs more help than ever." (Read More)
Laura Nelson, a fourth-year political and social thought major in the University of Virginia's College of Arts & Sciences, has been awarded a Rhodes Scholarship.
She was one of 32 students nationwide to win a scholarship, and the 47th student from the University so honored since the Rhodes program was created in 1902. The scholarships, valued at between $50,000 to $175,000, fully fund two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England, and may allow funding in some instances for four years.
"This is a total surprise," said Nelson, 22, of Westwood, Mass. "I didn't really expect it to happen and I think I am still in a state of shock. I've always had a dream of studying literature at Oxford. I am beyond thrilled to meet my future classmates and dive into life at Oxford." (Read More)
Rhodes Scholar
Dan Michaelson has left his mark on the University of Virginia.
Michaelson, 21, of Alexandria, is graduating May 23 from UVA's School of Engineering and Applied Science with a bachelor of science in engineering science. He is one of the driving forces behind two of the University's most successful sustainability projects in recent years: the Observatory Hill food-waste composting program and Hereford College's organic garden.
The compost program sends about 2½ tons of food waste a week from Observatory Hill Dining Hall to Panorama Farms in Earlysville, where it is composted. The program received a silver medal in the 2010 Governor's Environmental Excellence Awards, which recognize significant environmental contributions from business, industry, government and individuals.

As a member of the Jewish Social Justice Council, University of Virginia degree candidate Julie Schiff visited nursing homes, served in soup kitchens, helped build houses and participated in "Sleepout for the Homeless."
The latter event annually brings together members of the University and local communities from all religions and backgrounds to camp on Grounds for a week, not only to increase awareness of homelessness in Charlottesville, but also to raise money. Over the past two years, the sleepout has generated more than $10,000 for local organizations that aid the homeless.
"While the sleepout's fundraising component is certainly important, as money has the power to bring about immediate and far-reaching change, the awareness element is what really makes the event so worthwhile," Schiff said. "By the end of the sleepout's seven days, participants have a much greater understanding of homelessness, in general, as well as a much better working knowledge of what they can do as community members to address such an issue, which is prevalent in Charlottesville's own backyard."

It's probably premature to declare any 21-year-old a polymath. But Rahul Gorawara is at least a budding polymath, having earned degrees from the University of Virginia in engineering, public policy and economics in four years by taking roughly double the typical class load, thereby demonstrating one quality common to polymaths – the ability to learn and accomplish far more than most people in a given amount of time.
A Jefferson and Rodman scholar, Gorawara earned his bachelor of science in engineering degree with highest distinction, with a triple major in electrical engineering, computer engineering and economics, in just three years.
He earned a 3.9 grade-point average while passing an average of 28 credits per semester, for a total of 168 credits (120 credits are required for a bachelor's degree) – the highest per-term average and the second-highest number of total credits amassed by any UVA undergraduate degree-earning student since 1985 (the first year of electronic records), University Registrar Carol Stanley said.
With his B.S. behind him, Gorawara then spent a fourth year earning a master's degree from the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, while completing enough accounting and business classes at the McIntire School of Commerce (24 credits total) to allow him to take the certified public accountant exam in his home state of Illinois.
Altogether, Gorawara earned 211 credits during his four years (not including the 62 he received for Advanced Placement classes and tests taken before college). (Read More)
This year's University of Virginia Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award recipients – undergraduates Courtney Mallow and Ben Chrisinger, and head swimming and diving coach Mark Bernardino – have contributed to the University community through tireless dedication, compassion for others and tremendous creativity. They will receive their awards at Valedictory Exercises on May 22.
Each year, the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation sponsors the presentation of awards at 54 colleges in the southeastern United States to individuals who have served others, their institutions and their wider communities.
Created in 1925, the awards are given to distinguished fourth-year students and members of the University community in memory of the award's namesake, a New York lawyer, businessman and philanthropist. The awards are intended to perpetuate the excellence of character and humanitarian service he epitomized.(Read More)
"I don't think it is exactly what we do that sets us apart. It is how we do it. I think these student-initiated projects and research opportunities are exciting, because they show UVA students forming and living their dreams. These four years of college aren't a waiting period for lives and careers to begin. They are the beginning. For many of us they are the first big break.
And these breaks don't happen only in academic contexts. An aspiring politician can learn what it's like to handle a huge budget and staff. The University has students mounting serious campaigns for influential positions. The Honor and Judiciary committees oversee serious disciplinary matters on Grounds. These are real governments. Studying politics is one thing. But any of the students who have run for office, sat on committees or deliberated on juries will tell you that actually being a decision-maker, wrestling with these issues, seeing the results of your work … this is a much different experience."
Rhodes Scholar
"Following the Hurricane Katrina disaster, I knew that I wanted to do something to help, but I wasn't sure how best to go about it. As a politics major, I wanted to better understand what really happened and how government at all levels managed to fail in a major U.S. city. Television reports can only tell you so much. I also wanted the chance to take abstract concepts from the classroom and make them real, and you can only do this by immersing yourself in the situation.
I signed up for a course listing for the 2006 January Term that involved studying the political and structural implications of Katrina, including a week of hands-on work in New Orleans. Working out of our base in a local high school gym, 24 students, joined by Pat Lampkin and Nicole Hurd, set out each day to work in devastated neighborhoods, attempting to recover personal possessions and mementos of people connected to that local school. Sifting through these homes, helping with demolition, and saving what we could, brought home the highly personal impact of Katrina beyond anything I could glean through study from a distance. We are often taught to think in terms of standard rules and guidelines to apply in a given case, but this experience made me question many of the tools we apply in decision-making. It remains one of the most significant experiences I have enjoyed at UVA"
"A wonderful aspect of the student experience at UVA is having the ability to take an idea, grow it through collaboration with other students, and then receive the support and backing of administrators and faculty to bring it to life. Project R.I.S.E. started as an idea that fellow second-year Reggie White and I had in spring 2006 for a peer counseling program designed to help de-stigmatize the idea of counseling among African-American students at the University and provide a peer-based resource and referral system. We saw many friends go through emotional struggles and realized that we weren't equipped to be an effective sounding board when they came to us for help. We vetted the idea and received valuable feedback from our peers and from administrators in the offices of African-American Affairs, the Dean of Students, and Counseling and Psychological Services. On January 22, we launched the Project R.I.S.E. (Resolving Issues through Support and Education) peer counseling pilot program to the African-American community at UVA, and we hope to ultimately expand it to other minority groups. Everyone in Student Affairs was willing to extend a hand to help us get started, and Project R.I.S.E. would not have gotten off the ground without their strong support. It was a real blessing."

Citation: Lin, J., Klein, P.E., Klein, R.R., Price, J.H., Mullet, J.E., Stelly, D.M. 2005. Chromosome identification and nomenclature of Sorghum bicolor. Genetics. 169:1169-1173. Interpretive Summary: Major advancements in science hinge on the development of new tools including a detailed understanding of the structure of chromosomes. Chromosomes are the structures found in cells that harbor genes, the tiny packets of genetic blueprint material that are found in all plants and animals and control all of the physical characteristics of these organisms. Our work focuses on improving major grain crops and, with detailed knowledge of chromosomes, the genetic blueprint will be visible and this information can make improving the plants more efficient. This study details a microscopic overview of all 10 sorghum chromosomes, and allows us to establish a unified nomenclature for each unique chromosome. By naming each sorghum chromosome and by establishing a unified nomenclature, the exchange of information between plant scientists will be made far simpler, and should therefore speed scientific progress. Information will be primarily used by fellow scientists but the work should ultimately result in better adapted, higher producing crop varieties available to American farmers.
Technical Abstract: Linkage group identities and homologies were determined for metaphase chromosomes of Sorghum bicolor by fluorescent in situ hybridization of bacterial artificial chromosome clones. Relative lengths of chromosomes in fluorescent in situ hybridization karyotyped metaphase spreads of the elite inbred BTx623 were used to estimate the molecular size of each chromosome and to establish a size based nomenclature for sorghum chromosomes and linkage groups. Lengths of arms were determined to orient linkage groups relative to a standard karyotypic layout with the short arms at top. The size based nomenclature for BTx623 seems to be a reasonable choice as the standard for a unified nomenclature for use by the sorghum research community.

(Kabul) – Afghan women activists are at risk of being sidelined at a key international conference on Afghanistan's future scheduled for December 5, 2011, in Germany, Human Rights Watch said today.
The Bonn Conference will take place on the 10th anniversary of the 2001 Bonn Conference, which marked the end of the Taliban era and the appointment of a transitional government headed by Hamid Karzai. The 2011 Bonn Conference will focus on three main issues: the transition of security forces as (...)
25 October 2011
Following last night's alarming look at life inside immigration detention centres on ABC TV's Four Corners, key health and mental health organisations and mental health advocates are demanding the Government urgently review the standards of mental health care in all immigration detention centres.
As Four Corners highlighted, this issue is urgent and action needs to be taken now. The mental health of immigration detainees can't wait until the political debate over the appropriateness of (...)
Navy SEALs "Take Out" 12 Year Old Afghan Girl
17 May 2011, by Matthew J. Nasuti (Former U.S. Air Force Captain)
Counter-insurgency requires patience. This process cannot be rushed. The key to victory is to make as few mistakes as possible.
On May 12, 2011, a U.S. Navy SEAL team killed a 12-year old Afghan girl named Nelofar Muhammed and then shot her uncle once in the chest, finishing him off with a shot to the head, execution-style. This is the same tactic used to kill Usama bin Laden. The SEALs then filed a false report with NATO/ISAF claiming that Nelofar was armed and fleeing and had to be (...)

Walk America 2007
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
Last year almost 13% of all babies born in North Central Florida counties were premature. While doctors are puzzled and numbers are going up, thousands of North Central Floridians are doing what they can. Getting research money and awareness into fast pace.
More than 6-thousand walkers came out this morning and participated in Walk America 2007. Which is A walk design to help raise money and awareness for premature births. Mostly all counties here in North Central Florida are above state and national premature averages.
So far this year Gainesville's March of Dimes has raised 900-thousand dollars.
If you weren't able to make it this morning, March of Dimes has four walks scheduled next month in Lake City, Palaka, Ocala, and Lake County.

Rams prepare for Thursday's NCAA tournament battle with Missouri
March 20, 2013
#RAMSMADNESS PAGE | TOURNAMENT CENTRAL | TWITTER: @CSUMensBball
by Stuart Buchanan, Athletics Media Relations
LEXINGTON, Ky.--The Rams spent most of Wednesday preparing for their showdown against the ninth-seeded Missouri Tigers, going through two practices, a full-session in the morning and a shoot-around at Rupp Arena in the early evening.
Following breakfast and morning meetings the team departed for its first practice. The hour-long session, which began at 11 a.m., was held in the Joe Craft Center, the on-campus practice facility for the University of Kentucky. Players went through a light warm up to keep their legs fresh and ran through some sets they'll likely see from Missouri on Thursday.
Later in the day Head Coach Larry Eustachy spoke highly of the performance Missouri guard Phil Pressey is capable of.
"When teams haven't (stayed in front of him) they've lost every time," Eustachy said. "So he's the key…we have to stay in front of him."
The team had lunch and a couple hours to rest before getting back on the bus and heading to Rupp Arena for the evening's public practice and interview session with local and national media.
Eustachy and seniors Colton Iverson and Wes Eikmeier had a 20-minute press conference in which they were asked about what they expect from Missouri, Pressey and the battle on the glass.
Eikmeier was asked about the difference coming into the NCAA tournament this year in comparison to last season.
"When we got here (last year) it was just a feat on its own," the senior guard said. "This year it's a different team, completely different feel and we're here to win."
Following the time with the media, the fans had a chance to see the Rams practice for the first time in Lexington. Eustachy had the team run through a couple drills that they do every day in practice then allowed them to have some fun.
With the encouragement of the fans, some Rams put on a dunking exhibition while center Iverson demonstrated his range, knocking down several three pointers. CSU concluded the public practice with half court shots.
The Rams will meet one more time Wednesday night and enjoy a team dinner before turning the page to game day. Tipoff versus the Tigers is set for approximately 7:20 p.m. (MT), following the evening session's first game between No. 1 seed Louisville and North Carolina A&T. The game will be televised on TBS.
New kicks: The team was given new shoes by Nike which the players have been breaking in over the past couple of days.
Incentive?: Rams point guard Dorian Green grew up in Lawrence, Kan., before coming to Colorado State. He was asked whether there is any extra incentive playing Missouri since he grew up a Jayhawk fan.
"Where I'm from you never want to lose to Missouri," Green said. "I don't know if that is any added incentive or not. You never like to lose to Mizzou, being from Kansas. I definitely want to win. A bunch of my friends are Jayhawks and go to KU and they texted me as soon as we got matched up saying, 'you can't lose to Missouri.' It is what it is, being from that part of the country."

Re "New Mormon church website has softer tone on gays" (Tribune, Dec. 6):
The Bible tells how certain Pharisees believed "that it was needful to circumcise" the adult male gentile converts in order for them to "keep the law."
The apostles disputed the matter until head apostle Peter said: "Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice … that the Gentiles … should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God... [gave] them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us. … Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke" of circumcision "upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?" (Acts 15:5-10)
If having the penis of an adult male snipped was something the ancient fathers would not be able to bear in the name of God, how much more would today's Mormon patriarchs not bear having their conjugal copulations permanently banned? Yet that's exactly what they require of gay men.
Mormons once criticized the permanent celibacy of Catholics; now, in the name of "compassion," they champion for others a thing they themselves would not bear.
Sounds like the church needs another revelation.

Fire on Woodlawn Avenue
Men Charged for Stealing,
Selling Auto Parts
State troopers say between November 30 and Wednesday they received reports from automotive businesses in Allegany, Hinsdale, Olean and Portville about the stolen parts that included numerous brake rotors. They also got a report of stolen aluminum gutters from another business. The total value of the stolen property is more than $4,000. While investigating at a scrap yard they were able to identify a couple of suspects.
Troopers say 27-year-old Joseph Vavrecan of Hinsdale admitted to conspiring with 22-year-old Michael Crawford to steal the items. Vavrecan is charged with two counts of grand larceny and four counts of petit larceny. Crawford is charged with one count each of grand larceny and petit larceny with additional charges pending. Both were released on their own recognizance.
Venango College Student Clubs
Visit Veterans in Local Nursing Home
The community-focused project started four years ago as the club's first project. Due to the popularity of this event, the club has now partnered with Venango Allies, Rehabilitative Services, and Criminal Justice Clubs to adopt three more Venango County nursing homes in order to support some 60 veterans receiving holiday visits and gifts from Venango College student-led organizations.
Pictured is Venango College Veterans Club member Sheri Symosko greeting Presbyterian Home resident Fay Durham, U.S.M.C. and Vietnam War Veteran. Symosko is a dual major in Criminology and Rehabilitative Sciences who also is an R.O.T.C. cadet at Clarion University. She is very active in the multiple projects that the club supports. In the past, the club has also co-sponsored the campus' Thanksgiving Dinner, BBQ with the Dean for students, spearheaded the Flags in Classrooms project, remembered veterans in nursing homes during Veterans Day and Easter, and serves as a team sponsor of the Tough Mudder, an event that benefits the Wounded Warrior project. The Venango College Veterans club sponsors larger programs with the support of other Venango College clubs, staff and faculty. Veterans club advisors are Mark Conrad, Venango College Coordinator of Career Services and Daly Fuller, Coordinator of Intramurals and Recreation.
Symosko commented, "I wanted to belong to a student group that helped other people, especially veterans, and the Venango College Veterans Club was the organization that impressed me the most. I'm the only female in the club and Ms. Dunham is the only female veteran at the Presbyterian Home so we had something in common when we first met. She is a true hero and I try to emulate people like her as my career will definitely be in the military and young soldiers need reminders of how much our older generation made sacrifices for us."
Allies, Rehabilitative Services and Criminal Justice Clubs also visited and offered gifts at the Caring Place, Sugarcreek Station and Golden Living this past week.
EPA Releases Update on
Ongoing Hydraulic Fracturing Study
Results of the study, which Congress requested EPA to complete, are expected to be released in a draft for public and peer review in 2014. The update provided today outlines work currently underway, including the status of research projects that will inform the final study. It is important to note that while this progress report outlines the framework for the final study, it does not draw conclusions about the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources, which will be made in the final study.
As the administration and EPA has made clear, natural gas has a central role to play in our energy future, and this important domestic fuel source has extensive economic, energy security, and environmental benefits. The study EPA is currently undertaking is part of EPA's focus to ensure that the Administration continues to work to expand production of this important domestic resource safely and responsibly.
Among the information released today are updates on 18 research projects and details on the agency's research approach as well as next steps for these ongoing projects and analyses. Today's update follows the public release, in November 2011, of the agency's final study plan, which underwent scientific peer review and public comment.
EPA has engaged stakeholders, including industry, to ensure that the study reflects current practices in hydraulic fracturing. EPA continues to request data and information from the public and stakeholders and has put out a formal request for information which can be accessed through the federal register at: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/11/09/2012-27452/request-for-information-to-inform-hydraulic-fracturing-research-related-to-drinking-water-resources.
EPA also expects to release a draft report of results from the study in late 2014. The study has been designated a Highly Influential Scientific Assessment, meaning it will receive the highest level of peer review in accordance with EPA's peer review handbook before it is finalized. The 2014 draft report will synthesize the results from the ongoing projects together with the scientific literature to answer the study's main research questions.
EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) is forming a panel of independent experts which will review and provide their individual input on the ongoing study to EPA. The SAB will provide an opportunity for the public to offer comments for consideration by the individual panel members. For more information on the SAB process, please visit: http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabpeople.nsf/WebCommittees/BOARD.

Agreement Will Keep Bills in Buffalo
The Agreement signed today by the Governor, the Buffalo Bills, and Erie County includes a commitment from the Bills to stay in Buffalo for at least the next seven years, and $130 million in upgrades to Ralph Wilson Stadium. The agreement also includes the creation of a New Stadium Working Group and Fund to explore the potential for constructing a future new professional sports stadium in Western New York.
"The Buffalo Bills are a central part of the cultural, economic, and of the entire Western part of New York State, and the state has never wavered in our commitment to keeping the Bills a thriving part of the Buffalo community," Governor Cuomo said. "With a fan-base as diverse, passionate, and energetic as any professional sports team in the nation, the Buffalo Bills account for hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact as well as hundreds of jobs in Western New York, and today is a major victory for our entire state. This agreement ensures the Bills stay where they belong right here in New York, while also protecting tax payer dollars and putting in place a longer-term vision for the team's continued presence in Buffalo. I commend the Bills leadership, our NFL partners, the ownership of the Stadium, and the County officials for their hard work in reaching this major agreement."
Terms of the agreement include:
•Commitment to Stay in Buffalo: Under the agreement, the Bills are legally committed to remain in their current location for at least seven years, regardless of ownership. •New Stadium Lease: The Bills will enter into a new 10 year lease at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
•Stadium Improvements: The agreement includes $130 million for upgrades to Ralph Wilson Stadium that will improve the fan experience. The Bills will contribute significantly - $35 million - to the capital improvements to the Stadium. The state will contribute $54 million and the county will contribute $41 million. Improvements throughout the stadium will include, but not be limited to, the following:
◦Implementation of new technology throughout the building to improve the overall fan experience. This will include new video display boards in the east end of the stadium.
◦Creation of a new west end plaza, inclusive of a new team store and enhanced gate entries.
◦Renovated and expanded concessions experience for all fans.
•New Stadium Working Group and Fund: The agreement establishes a New Stadium Working Group that will consist of representatives of the Bills, the County and the State to explore the potential for the construction of a new stadium in the future. The agreement also includes a fund to for future development and planning.
◦The County and the Erie County Stadium Corporation will continue current levels of support for certain stadium related expenses, annual capital improvements and working capital. The Stadium lease and other documents will be finalized over the coming weeks and submitted to the NFL for approval. The state and county funding must be approved through the legislative process. Stadium improvements will begin in 2013.
Russ Brandon, CEO of the Buffalo Bills, said, "We are here today because Mr. Wilson, Governor Cuomo and County Executive Poloncarz each, from day one, tasked their staffs to get this done. Additionally, Commissioner Goodell understands our community, feels the passion of our fans and worked with the Governor to help shape this deal. And today is another strong example of Mr. Wilson's dedication to the birthplace of this franchise. The investment, while significant, is modest in contrast to building a new stadium or engaging in a major retrofit, far less than what the interest alone would be on a new stadium over the term. We look forward to the opportunity to execute this plan and to join Governor Cuomo and County Executive Poloncarz as we work toward a shared vision for the future of the Buffalo Bills beyond the term of this deal."
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said, "From day one, a top priority of my administration has been to get the right lease negotiated for state and local taxpayers, the Bills, and their fans. Today I am proud to say we have accomplished that goal. On behalf of the entire Erie County negotiating team, my thanks to the Bills' organization and Mr. Wilson and Governor Cuomo and his team for all of their hard work in getting this lease done, and for being here to present this early Christmas gift to Bills fans everywhere. I especially want to thank Deputy County Executive Rich Tobe for the countless hours he put in as the lead negotiator for the County. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his efforts. This new lease ensures that the Bills continue to be a part of our community for the next decade and also prepares for the future of a new stadium to ensure the Bills remain in Buffalo for many years to come. Everyone understood the economic realities facing our community, and that's why we have developed a more affordable capital improvements plan to invest $130 million into Ralph Wilson stadium over the next several years, not the more than $200 million originally discussed, and that includes a $35 million investment from the Bills' organization. Additionally, the Bills will be showing our community the same loyalty that fans have shown them for over 50 years by agreeing to a binding non-relocation clause that demonstrates their commitment to staying here now and in the future. The Bills are not just a driver of our regional and bi-national economy, but are critical to the framework of our community. Again, my thanks to our partners in completing this agreement, and Happy Holidays to all."

AAA Offers Driving Tips for Ice & Snow
Nearly one-quarter of weather related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement, resulting in more than 1,300 deaths and 116,800 people injured annually, according to data from the Federal Highway Administration.
Drive Distraction Free
"It is especially important when driving in winter conditions to drive distraction-free," according to J.J. Miller, AAA Safety Advisor. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that looking away from the road for just two seconds doubles your risk of being in a crash "If you are with a passenger, enlist the their help to carry out activities that would otherwise distract you from driving safely," Miller added.
Do Not Use Cruise Control and Avoid Tailgating
Normal following distances of three to four seconds for dry pavement should be increased to eight to 10 seconds when driving on icy, slippery surfaces. This extra time will allow for extra braking distance should a sudden stop become necessary. If driving on a four-lane highway, stay in the clearest lane; avoid changing lanes and driving over built-up snow. Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery (wet, ice, snow, sand) surface; not using cruise control will allow you to respond instantly when you lift your foot off the accelerator.
Know When to Brake and When to Steer
Some driving situations require abrupt action to avoid a crash or collision and in winter conditions the decision to steer or brake can have very different outcomes. When travelling over 25 MPH, AAA recommends steering over braking to avoid a collision in wintery conditions, as less distance is required to steer around an object than to brake to a stop. In slick conditions, sudden braking can lead to loss of vehicle control.
However, sometimes steering is not an option. Braking on slippery surfaces requires you to look further head and increased following and stopping distances. Plan stopping distances as early as possible and always look 20-30 seconds ahead of your vehicle to ensure you have time and space to stop safely. Shaded spots, bridges, overpasses and intersections are areas where ice is likely to form first and will be the most slippery. It is important to adjust your braking habits as road conditions change.
Stay in Control Through a Skid
Even careful drivers can experience skids. When a vehicle begins to skid, it's important to not panic and follow these basic steps:
Continue to look and steer in the direction the car needs to go. Avoid slamming on the brakes as this will further upset the vehicle's balance and make it harder to control.
Additional Tips
Make sure windows are free of dirt and grime and keep your windshield wiper reservoir full at all times.
Clean your headlights so that you can see and be seen by others.
Inflate your tires to the manufacturer's specifications and be sure they have plenty of tread for proper traction.
Sit at least 10 inches away from your steering wheel so that you have plenty of room for emergency steering maneuvers and also to give the airbag room to inflate.
Wear your seat belt low across your hips and on your shoulders.
Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle at all times.

Hamlin Bank Contribution to Pitt-Bradford
Will Benefit High School Students
The contribution is made possible through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit program offered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. The funds will be distributed to Pitt-Bradford over a two-year period.
Dr. Livingston Alexander, president of Pitt-Bradford, said, "Our friends at Hamlin Bank are longtime supporters of Pitt-Bradford and its efforts to provide educational opportunities for students in our service region. This generous tax credit award will ensure that a significantly greater number of students in our region are able to get a head start in earning college credits, even as they complete their high school programs."
Twelve districts with 466 students currently participate in the College in the High School program: Austin Area, Bradford Area, Cameron County, Coudersport Area, Galeton Area, Northern Potter, Oswayo Valley, Otto-Eldred, Ridgway Area, Smethport Area and St. Marys Area. Sheffield Area Middle/High School is taking part for the first time this year.
Unlike the Advanced Placement exam, which requires that students make a final score on an AP test at the end of the semester or year, College in the High School students follow the same syllabus as the students at Pitt-Bradford, cover the same material and take the same final exam. Students have the added benefit of studying a semester's worth of college material over the course of an entire academic year.
Courses offered range from first-year math and composition to more specialized first-year courses such as petroleum technology, cinema, geography, Spanish, accounting, sociology and more.
The additional funding provided through Hamlin Bank and other local businesses has allowed Pitt-Bradford to reduce its cost to students from $125 to $25 this year for College in the High School. For the Bridges program, the regular cost of $1,594 has been reduced to $250 for the student, and his or her school district's portion has been eliminated.
Hamlin Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank and offers a variety of financial and trust services. Established in 1863, Hamlin Bank was the first bank to serve the communities of McKean County.
The bank made its contribution through a special state program that allows it to receive tax credits for its gift. Companies have to pre-qualify with the state on a strict schedule, as did Pitt-Bradford.
Interested businesses that must pay certain types of taxes in the state of Pennsylvania may qualify to redirect up to $300,000 of their PA tax liability to an approved Educational Improvement Organization such as Pitt-Bradford. The taxes include Corporate Net Income Tax, Capital Stock Franchise Tax, Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax, Title Insurance Company Shares Tax, Insurance Premiums Tax, Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax and some Subchapter S-corporations.
For more information on whether a business may qualify for the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, contact Rick Esch, vice president of business affairs at Pitt-Bradford, at (814)362-0992 or email@example.com.
Pictured, Dr. Livingston Alexander, president of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, thanks Martin Digel, president and chief executive officer of Hamlin Bank & Trust Co., for the bank's pledge of $200,000 in Educational Improvement Tax Credit to benefit the university's dual enrollment programs.

PSP: Austin Man Lied About Robbery, Assault
State troopers say they were called about a home invasion at the house of 26-year-olf Michael McNally at 2:40 this morning, and he told them that while he was cleaning a hunting rifle in his living room a man forced his way into the house, hit him, took the rifle and drove away.
Troopers later learned that there was no robbery or altercation.
McNally is charged with two counts of making false reports to law enforcement. He's free on $5,000 bail.
NYS Audit: Town of Olean Needs to
Adopt New Financial Policies
The ex-supervisor's sister was the town clerk and his son was a highway department employment. The payments totaled more than $17,000.
The state comptroller's office also says the board didn't adopt policies for the cash disbursement process and didn't establish an adequate system of internal controls for the town's sewer districts.
The office is recommending the town adopt policies to review payroll records during its annual audit, policies for the cash disbursement process and policies for the proper billing and collecting of sewer district usage.
The report released today covers the period from December 24, 2007, to May 3 of this year. You can read it here PDF
Rep. Causer Named Chairman of
House Game and Fisheries Committee
The House Game and Fisheries Committee is responsible for reviewing legislative proposals that impact hunters and anglers in the Commonwealth. The committee also receives and reviews annual reports from both the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
During the 2011-12 session, the committee worked on several bills that are now law, including:
Enhancements to the Mentored Youth Hunting Program, which is designed to help get more young people involved in hunting activities.
Improving access to military-specific hunting licenses by allowing them to be sold by all licensing agents rather than just at commission offices and county treasurers' offices.
Removing the requirement that sportsmen and sportswomen must wear back tags while hunting (Pennsylvania was one of only two states that still had the requirement).
Offering multi-year fishing licenses and permits.
According to the most recent study conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, participation in wildlife-related recreation (hunting, fishing and wildlife watching) nationwide increased from 87.5 million people in 2006 to more than 91 million in 2011. More than 1.1 million anglers and 775,000 hunters to took the waterways and the woods of the Commonwealth, spending nearly $1.6 billion in 2011. Pennsylvania also ranks in the top five in the nation for the most in-state hunters.
"Hunting and fishing are long-standing traditions for many Pennsylvania families, including my own," Causer said. "It is my goal to ensure those traditions continue."
This assignment is Causer's first as a committee chairman. He has served as representative for the 67th legislative district since 2003. During the prior legislative session, he was a member of the House Appropriations, Health, and Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness committees. He also served as chairman of the Subcommittee on Parks and Forests within the Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.
Causer invites area residents to visit www.RepCauser.com to sign up for periodic updates on hunting and fishing news. He also maintains a legislative Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/RepCauser.

Brewed this again last evening. Very fragrant and delicious – tastes mildly malty with bread and honey. This is naturally sweet and seems to get even sweeter with each re-steep; the fragrance is pure dark honey. So good with a bit of milk as well.
And, my husband who always says he doesn't really like tea, had a cup, said it was pretty good and even had a second cup when I offered. Nice!
Thank you Angel and Teavivre for this generous sample.

World Chefs: French childhoods re-created in adult kitchens
By Luciana Lopez
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ethel Brennan and Sara Remington had never met as children, but as adults they found they shared many childhood experiences that they brought together in a new book, "Paris to Provence: Childhood Memories of Food and France."
The combination travel memoir and cookbook is interspersed with photographs, not just of the recipes included, but of daily French life.
Both Brennan and Remington had spent their childhood summers in France with their parents, traveling the country and experiencing the delights of onion tarts, grilled sardines and truffled eggs.
Brennan spoke to Reuters about delving into her childhood memories of food and places and re-creating those experiences in the book.
Q: How does a person's individual experience of a place change their experience of the food or cuisine of a place?
A: Food and place are very tied together, as are all of our memories when it comes to childhood. And things just take you back or keep you there or remind you because food is so linked to all of our senses.
Q: How did going back to those memories as an adult change or affect your experience of them?
A: There were certain things I felt sad about when I discovered they actually are products of the past. For example, it used to be you would go to the beaches and all along the Mediterranean people would sell baskets of fresh-made cream-filled donuts and beignets. That doesn't exist anymore.

Hey… It's me again. The lady who likes to ask questions only you have the answer to. Tax season is here for some of us who work in the financial realm and postponed for all those waiting to splurge. Like you, I sometimes fall short, struggle and have the need to come up with cash quick. I know a lot of us hate saving and some don't really even know how to do it. Here's a few tips I been applying to my life. Perhaps they can work for you too.
1. Budget (Actually sitting down to write/type this out is annoying, but very beneficial) Be it utilities, entertainment, leisure, food, clothing, transportation, etc. It's a good practice to know how you are allocating your funds monthly. Once this is organized for you, you can review your expenses and determine what you need to spend less on. Basic laws of saving is to
2. Lifestyle (Once you budget you may find that you are living above your means) I've done this before. Small changes can make a difference and create savings. For example, those Poland Spring 3 for $10 water cases add up, allow a Brita pitchers to be your friend. Precut fruit platters are nice to look at but they cost more, buy whole fruit and prepare your own platter. These small changes add up, believe me before you know it, you'll have extra cash each month.
3. Credit Cards (Emergency Card, Gas Card) If you credit is ok, these are two minimums to have. Pay them off in full every time you use it, at least a few days before the due date. After a solid history of payments, consider asking for an increase if one isn't offered, it shows other creditors a solid pay history and it decreases your risk level.
4. Credit Union Accounts (With big banks swallowing your balances up with fees, and constantly overcharging you, credit unions offer a kind alternative) I have found the small credit unions to be really family oriented with great member incentives and great rates. I am not suggesting you abandon your big bank, but at least keep a savings with a credit union. Weekly – Monthly deposits yield great results. If you ever run into financial bind, they would approve a personal loan quicker and with less hassle than your average BOA, Wells, etc. The staff is never in a call center in India when you call, they have great hours and if there is EVER an issue they are more than willing to give you a "courtesy" this or that to resolve. They appreciate you and treat you like a person.
5. Customer Rewards/Loyalty Programs (Easiest way to save a % or $ off amount) I know carrying around a key chain full of these is annoying but if you like to spend often, the companies are looking to reward you. Be it by email or physical form, these memberships can get you coupons and discounts that reduce your cost, remember the goals is to reduce how much you spend so you can save.
Lastly, I am no expert, but I have learned in my 27 years how to not spend wastefully. It wouldn't be a post from me, if I didn't hit you with some questions:
Are you going to file that tax return and ball out or will you save some of that money for a rainy day? Are you going to allow that dude to claim your kids or will you put your foot down this year and tell him no? Are you going to give all your tax return money to your dude to flip or will you just give him less to use this go round and keep something for yourself? Are you going to catch up on all those bills or will you keep making the minimum payments? Are you going to finally get the work done on your car so the check engine light can go off or are you going to get the car detailed and some new speakers? Are you going to setup a vacation or holiday savings account with monthly withdrawal limits or are you going to just spend the refund completely? Are you going to keep sleeping on that futon or will you use that money to go buy a bedroom set? Are you going to buy one of those Best Buy crazy deal flat screens or will you finally put up some nice curtain rods and curtains in your apartment? No judgments here, just asking some questions maybe you want to think about. I live by each one teach one, and wanting for my brethren, what I want for myself. Go read @Yung_Flippa's tax season blog, he hit on additional ways to save and wise ways to spend too.
Peace and prosperity to you all

NAIA Surprises Osborne With Trophy Name
(AP) A small-college athletic association is renaming its national football championship trophy for Tom Osborne, the legendary former coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Osborne was in Kansas City on Wednesday to give the keynote address at the NAIA's Champions of Character Foundation awards luncheon. NAIA officials surprised him by announcing the football trophy will now be called the Tom Osborne National Championship Trophy.
NAIA president and CEO Jim Carr says Osborne embodies the association's commitment to balancing character and leadership development with athletics.
Osborne himself was a three-sport NAIA athlete at Hastings College.
Osborne retired in January 2013 as athletic director where he led the Huskers to three NCAA national titles and a record of 255-49-3 in 25 seasons as head coach.

Technology innovation and business disruption are changing the software market today. Cloud computing is blurring the line between applications and services, and smart solutions are combining hardware with software into new, purpose-engineered solutions. We are happy to announce that we have launched our Forrester Forrsights Software Survey, Q4 2010, to predict and quantify the future of the software market and help IT vendors to tap into the insights from approximately 2,500 IT decision-makers across North America and Western Europe.
The survey will provide insights on the strategic direction and spending plans of enterprises from very small businesses to global enterprises, segmented by industry and country. In comparison with last year's survey, we significantly boosted the sample size this year for the energy (oil and gas, utilities, and mining) and healthcare industries; we'll be able to provide an in-depth analysis for these industries along with retail, financial services, high tech, and other industries.
Key themes for this year's software survey include the following topics:

As someone who has worked in development teams, I take it for granted that not everyone on the team has the same needs and interests. A twenty-something Java developer, fresh out of college, is interested in questions like, "Which emerging framework might be worth learning?" The architect on the team may be interested in the same frameworks, but for entirely different reasons. Unlike the rank-and-file developer, the architect has decision-making power over which framework to adopt. The architect bears responsibility for the long-term consequences of this decision, while the rank-and-file developer is primarily concerned about delivering components written for whatever framework the team selects. Meanwhile, the development manager has to oversee the work of both the developer and architect, ensuring that, collectively, the developers and architects and testers and everyone else deliver their work product on time, at an acceptable level of quality.
Different roles, different questions -- not a hard principle to understand. When applied to developer support, it means that developer conferences, discussion forums, and other resources must tailor their content to a specific audience. Not surprisingly, the material interesting to developers might not be as interesting for architects, and vice-versa. (And if you're still not convinced that the two roles have different needs, take a look at the chart in this earlier blog post, which shows the sources of information and advice to which developers and architects turn.)
