Subject: Term Appointments
The current work environment of continuing funding uncertainties, shifting project priorities, and emphasis on downsizing, presents management with multiple program and financial challenges as we strive to accomplish mission objectives while managing the workforce. With this is mind, it is necessary that management not only be aware of staffing alternatives that can provide them with the required flexibilities, but that in using them they do so appropriately. One available option, is that of term appointments. While it has been utilized quite a bit over the past decade, increased interest in it and the flexibilities the appointing authority presents, indicate a need to provide the following information to insure a clear understanding of it and its appropriate uses.
Time Limits
Term appointments must be made for an initial period of more than 1 year but cannot be made for more than a total of 4 years. In the past, term appointments initially made for less than 4 years, could be extended up to the maximum 4 year period without competition. However, current Career Transition Assistance Plan (CTAP) regulations issued by the Office of Human Resources Management (OPM) effective on July 9, 1997, require that extensions of temporary and term appointments for more than 120 days be advertised to allow for the application and consideration of displaced and surplus (as defined in the CTAP regulations) employees, unless the original announcement stated that such extensions could be made. This requirement to advertise prior to effecting an extension of appointment only applies if the initial term appointment was made on or after February 29, 1996. It is not necessary to clear the reemployment priority list when extending a term appointee as long as the employee has not gone off the rolls of the agency.
In addition, there is no authority to extend term appointments beyond 4 years. However, in rare circumstances, when it can be demonstrated that an appointee's services are needed for an additional period (generally 1 year or less) for reasons such as to complete a project, OPM may grant a variation to allow the employee to remain employed for the additional time period.
Appropriate Uses
Use of the term appointing authority is appropriate when there is project work to be conducted; an extraordinary workload due to reorganization; scheduled abolishment, or contracting out of a function; uncertainty of future funding; or the need to maintain permanent positions for placement of employees who would otherwise be displaced from other parts of the organization.
Inappropriate Uses
It is inappropriate to use the term appointing authority when it is known that the same or essentially similar work will continue to be performed indefinitely. Once a position has been filled by term appointment for a period of four years, and it appears that the same work will continue, management should utilize a permanent appointment or other nontemporary means to accomplish the continuing work unless conditions are present that warrant use of the term appointing authority. To do otherwise, would violate the spirit and intent of the appointing authority, likely negatively impact the morale of the employee incumbering the position, and raise a question of propriety in our use of this authority.
Other Limitations On Term Appointments
Unless within reach on an OPM certificate of eligibles or eligible for noncompetitive appointment (e.g. based on reinstatement, Veterans Readjustment Authority, or Peace Corps service), a term appointee can only be reassigned, promoted, or changed to a lower grade to other positions within the same project (either inside or outside of the employee's current duty station) which the agency has authority to fill by term appointment. Reassignments, promotions, and changes to lower grade of this nature, cannot exceed 4 years from the employee's initial term appointment effective date.
Selection of Term Appointees
Term appointments are generally made on a competitive basis from an OPM certificate of eligibles. Some exceptions to this are when the selectee previously attained Federal status, or possesses eligibility for appointment under a noncompetitive appointing authority.
Benefits and Rights
Term appointees are eligible to elect health and life insurance; earn sick and annual leave as long as they are on a full or part time work schedule; and are covered under the Federal retirement system and the Department's performance management system. They are tenure group 3 employees, and as such, have first round competition rights should there be a reduction-in-force (RIF). This means that during a RIF, term appointees compete with other tenure group 3 employees in their competitive area who are in positions essentially identical to theirs (same series, grade, and competitive level). While management is not required to offer round two (bump and retreat) rights to term employees, management has the discretion to extend bump rights to term employees within tenure group 3. Management also has the discretion to offer term employees who receive a RIF separation notice career transition outplacement services. In addition, after 1 year of continuous service, term appointees are entitled to adverse action procedures should conduct or performance issues arise.
Certification Procedures
As the individual with first hand knowledge of the position being filled, effective immediately, selecting officials are responsible for certifying that the use of the term appointing authority is appropriate and meets all requirements stipulated in 5 CFR 316, Subpart C (attached). The certification statement (attached) is required and should be included in the remarks section of FPPS when a request to recruit for or extend a term appointment is submitted to the SPO.
Any questions you may have regarding term appointments may be directed to your Servicing Human Resources Office.
I have read the rules in 5 CFR 316 relating to term appointments and certify that the proposed appointment meets the regulatory requirements. A term appointment is being made for the following reason:

Three people were arrested after two parents allegedly admitted to providing illegal drugs and alcohol to their underage children. Yavapai County Sheriff's detectives were made aware of safety concerns and abuse allegations at a home in the 400 block of Rio Trail. 32-year-old Aaron Foster, 33-year-old Elizabeth Lawson and 21-year-old Jacob Owens were arrested at the home on April 5. Foster is a level 2 registered sex offender and stepfather Lawson's four children, ages 13, 9, 7 and 5. Owens is a family friend who was at the home when the warrant was served.During a search of the home, YCSO say detectives found several marijuana and meth pipes in a bedroom where all four children sleep with their parents.The home was reportedly very messy with trash, debris and clothes strewn everywhere. YCSO says dog feces were found on the floor in the unused bedroom. Foster allegedly admitted to deputies that he has a meth addiction and to both giving and smoking pot with his 13-year-old stepdaughter.In addition, YCSO says the 9 and 7-year-old children told deputies they have smoked marijuana they got from Foster. Lawson allegedly told detectives she's given alcohol to her 13-year-old daughter and knew Foster was giving pot to her children.CPS has custody of all four children. YCSO says Owens was found with a marijuana pipe and marijuana. Several rounds of ammunition and two knives that YCSO say belong to Foster were seized and because he's had a felony conviction and is unable to possess the items, he will be charged for the violation. Foster was charged with involving a minor in a drug offense, possession of drug paraphernalia, misconduct involving weapons and failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements. He is in custody on a $50,000 bond. Lawson was charged with involving a minor in a drug offense and child abuse. She is in custody on a $7500 bond. Owens was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and was released.

mm VOLUME 51. ISSUE 77 MONDAY. APRIL 22. 1991 1L 1 E bIGNPO Weber State University Ogden, Utah C - t Faculty senate approves curriculum, tenure modifications By Colleen J. Olsen Staff writer of The Signpost A total rewriting of curriculum for the department of electrical engineering was approved by the WSU Faculty Senate Thursday.The Senate also approved sweeping changes in the foreign language department's curriculum, as well as expanding a non-tenure faculty position created last year. All the old courses in the electronic engineering technology department were deleted. Requirements for both two-year and four-year electronic technology degrees were changed and approved. "One thing that is a plus for students is they now have a lecture segment and a lab segment," said Judith Mitchell, chair of the curriculum and general education Changes make WSU foreign language department national 'model' for all others By Bemlce Brldenbecker Staff writ or of The Signpost A massive change to the department of foreign languages' curriculum was approved by the Faculty Senate Thursday, the last approval needed before implementing the changes next fall. The rationale behind the curriculum change is to move to proficiency-basod instruction, which emphasizes the student's ability to speak. Dr. Robert Bolka, chair of the department, said that Hunter College City University of New York is the only other school in the country on aproficiency-basod system, and its system is only implemented in one language. This curriculum change is across the board and covers all foreign languages taught at WSU. "We will be the model for all other foreign language departments in the country," Bclka said. Weber's curriculum takes up where Hunter College leaves (See FOREIGN page 6) committee. "Now labs won't come as a surprise for students." According to Mitchell, students already in the program won't be disadvantaged, but will be able to move into the new program with credit given for the classes they have already completed. Moving WSU closer to its goal on consensus in the general education plan, the Senate approved general education courses from the school of Arts and Humanities, with the exception of four courses from the art department, and one from literature. These courses will be sent back to the departments for restructuring. According to Mitchell, the curriculum and general education committee is almost finished with the processof changing the general education requirements. "Its been a lot of work, but I've had a hard working committee," she said. "The departments and schools have also done a superb job of designing courses that help students gain a foundation of knowledge.Richard Halley, chair of the appointment, promotion, academic freedom and tenure committee, proposed a change in a new nontenurable faculty position created last year. The new position is called a rolling appointment. Instead of a tenure position, this faculty member would be giving a rolling con- (See SENATE page 3) Some like if hot, but scientist calls center of Earth cool at core theory after reading an article in Continents Adrift magazine in 1972.

Christianson formulated his theory while working for the weapons acquisition policy department at the Pentagon. He retired from the Pentagon in 1988, and began writing up his theory. In 1990, he published his theory in book form. "I presented my theory to some science teachers at the national convention in Houston, Texas," Christianson said. "The teachers came right around to the theory." Christianson was invited to (See CORE page 6) By Shawn Peterson Staff writef of The Signpost According to Neil B.

His theory contradicts Des-carte's 350-year-old theory that the earth's inner core is made mostly of molten rock. Christianson contends that the earth's magnetic field could not exist with a hot core. He says planets were created by chemcial elements that form a cold hydrogen core.

May News editor of 7ih Signpost George Bush is politically "an 800-pound gorilla" that democrats and opponents fear to openly challenge, but the president should be concerned with making up the deficit of republicans in Congress more than his own re-election, said Washington Post political analyst David Broder Thursday. Broder, who spoke during Convocation, believes the 19 election will be "one of the biggest and wildest" in history. Despite' negative public sentiment and discussion of election reformations, Broder does not favor congressional term limitations or the abolition of political action committees. "We now have to see if (1992) is going to be a republican year or just a-George Bush year." David Broder, Washington Post Broder spoke in conjunction with the WSU Undergraduate Research Conference sponsored by the department of social sciences.Bush's approval rating has already fallen from close to 90 percent near the close of the Gulf War to about 78 percent last week, Broder said. He believes an improved economy will probably ensure a second term for Bush in 1992. "We now have to see if (1992) is going to be a republican year or just a George Bush year," he said. "When republicans run for president they act as though there is only one ballot for office." Acting out of greed for a decisive victory, "they leave the party out of the picture," he said. Republican presidents Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan all lost party seats in both houses of Congress in their second term of office.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Bonar, who currently resides in St. Paul, will be playing on Thursday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. in the Lion's Pause with opener A Night in the Box. St. Olaf is a logical venue for Bonar, since she signed on with St. Olaf 2007 alum Ian Anderson's burgeoning record label, Afternoon Records, in 2006. She recorded Lure the Fox prior to signing on with Anderson, though Anderson and Afternoon Records rereleased the album nationally in October of last year.
The album itself is boiled down - not that it's a bad thing - because Bonar's a master of the old adage, "Less is more." On four of the ten tracks on Lure she is virtually unaccompanied by any sort of rhythm section. For example, on "Us," "Captain, Captain" and "Blue Ridge Mountains," Bonar's beautifully lonely voice wavers over her acoustic guitar or piano, without any additional instrumental parts. The result is a series of stark and circular songs, tinged with remorse.
It's not surprising that Bonar listed Radiohead as one of her influences; her tracks have the same sort of haunting minor-key quality to them. Her lead track from Lure, "Fox and the Hound" sounds similar to "Exit Music (From a Film)" off of Radiohead's album OK Computer.
Yet the parallels end there; Bonar eschews Radiohead's dense guitar ambience in favor of lighter acoustic parts. At times she sounds like a less clean-cut version of Aimee Mann.
All comparisons aside, the level of songcraft and lyricism that Bonar incorporates into her songs is simply lovely. On Lure, Bonar perfected the hushed, intimate sound that she developed in her first album, The Size of Planets, which was released on local legend Alan Sparhawk's label, Chairkicker's Union. Even her more fast-paced, full tracks on Lure, like "Give it Up," retain that characteristic ambience.
Bonar is anticipating her performance at St. Olaf. "The last time I played in the Pause was last year, and we had a really fun show."
This year, she'll be playing with a brand new bassist, Jim Boquist, who joined up with the band a few weeks ago. The last six days have been a whirlwind of practices and fine tuning for Bonar and her band.
Bonar has also been working on her third album. It's tentatively scheduled to be released next March, now that Bonar and her band have finished recording. The album is currently being mixed by Chad Blake.
All the positive media attention that Bonar has received from regional media outlets is helping, too, though she tries to tune it out when she is writing and performing.
"It [the media attention] is always really nice, but that's not the reason why I play music - you have to put a filter on it, and keep it separate," Bonar said.
"If your record's good, and you feel good about it, then that's all that should really matter."
Bonar's opening act, A Night in the Box, is a bluegrass/rock get-up with some serious foot-stomping power. A Night in the Box, based out of Minneapolis, is also signed with Anderson's Afternoon Records. The band really does defy description; songs of their 2006 album, The Hustle, The Prayer, The Thief, is a mish-mash of "O Brother, Where Art Thou" bluegrass and White Stripe-style garage rock.
Despite its genre-defying sound, A Night in the Box has a certain degree of polished charm. For a band that got together in the spring of 2006, it's clear that they've been working hard to develop their talent.
Together, A Night in the Box and Haley Bonar should put together a pretty darn good show.

ASSE President Kathy Seabrook Congratulates New Labor Secretary on Confirmation
New Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez has been appointed and is on the job. You can find out more about Secretary Perez from the Department of Labor website at http://www.dol.gov/_sec/. ASSE responded with the following statement from President Kathy Seabrook on his confirmation by the Senate:
"The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) congratulates Thomas Perez on the confirmation of his appointment as the next Secretary of the Department of Labor. ASSE fully expects Mr. Perez' leadership will support continuing positive relationships with the Department and agencies under his direction with which ASSE members are most often engaged – the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
"ASSE is encouraged that the Administration has chosen someone with experience in leading a state occupational safety and health plan. The perspective Mr. Perez gained in that role, we trust, will help him in ensuring that OSHA and MSHA have the resources they need to help protect workers and that the measures these agencies take are fairly balanced between enforcement and cooperative efforts. ASSE is also confident that, from his experience, Mr. Perez recognizes the importance of seeking out the perspective of safety, health and environmental professionals on the front lines of protecting workers in any effort the Department undertakes to advance workplace safety and health. We look forward to working with Mr. Perez."

Very nicely said Paquita:)
I agree completely.
I feel that true artist should posses both- unique artistic personality and strong technique. Of course, both (especially artistic expression) sometimes take time and life experience to develop. Also competitions are tough on dancers, I'm sure that stage fright and pressure are obviously higher than normally.
I think that the most important thing is what Rex Harington said- with quality of dancing as it was in this competition, the future of ballet is secured.

There is much to envy about actress Beverly D'Angelo: ageless beauty, a Hollywood career of lasting duration, the fact that hunky Al Pacino parked his slippers at her front door for years and that she owns a 1920s Spanish-style gem of a house in Beverly Hills that has come on the market at $2,185,000.
Alan Ladd's wife: Saturday's Hot Property column gave the name of actor Alan Ladd's wife as Carol. The correct name is Sue Carol. —
The five-bedroom, 4 1/2 -bathroom, 4,045-square-foot house has a two-story entryway, arched doorways and hardwood floors.
There is a step-down formal living room with beamed ceilings, garden views and a detached studio with a porch, pool and courtyard.
D'Angelo, 57, has recurring roles as alpha-female Barbara "Babs" Miller in the HBO series "Entourage" and defense attorney Rebecca Balthus in " Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." She starred in several " National Lampoon" movies and, closer to home, played Kitty Menendez in "Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills" (1994).
Ginger Glass and Jessica Juyent, both of Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills, share the listing.
Genuine gold in Hollywood Hills
"Body of Lies" and "Fool's Gold" producer Donald De Line just shaved about $400,000 off the price of his Hollywood Hills home, now listed for $4.35 million.
The five-bedroom, 5 1/2 -bathroom 1936 villa has three fireplaces and a formal dining room-library. The public rooms overlook a soccer field-sized lawn. The 4,689-square-foot house features an outdoor pavilion with a fireplace near the pool and a guesthouse with a bathroom.
The property was listed in November at $4,750,000.
"Body of Lies" (2008) starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe; "Fool's Gold" (2008) featured Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson and Donald Sutherland.
De Line, past head of both Paramount and Touchstone studios, was also a producer of "The Italian Job" (2003), "The Stepford Wives" (2004) and "Without a Paddle" (2004).
Ernie Carswell of Teles Properties Inc., Beverly Hills, is the listing agent.
This one's coming out of its shell
First, there were John, Paul, George and Ringo. Then came Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello -- the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles created by Kevin Eastman. We can argue all day about which quartet will ultimately have the deepest impact on pop culture, but for now, Eastman has a house to sell.
The mastermind behind the concept of having four turtle mutants battle evil megalomaniacs from their home in a Manhattan sewer just lowered the price of his view home in Beverly Hills to $3,495,000 from $3,995,000.
It's been on the market since August.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom Mediterranean-style home has 5,458 square feet and is in a guard-gated community. The villa sits on a double lot, which could be split. In addition to the main house, there is a pool, spa, poolhouse (or guesthouse) and an additional detached structure that can be used as a studio, office or gym. The main house has high ceilings, hardwood floors and an attached garage.

If you want to track the conversions that happen on your PrestaShop store as a result of ads that you're running on Facebook, you can create a conversion tracking pixel to put on your store. Once you have the tracking pixel you need to embed it into your conversion page which is generally your Order Confirmation Page of PrestaShop. This can be done generally in two ways based on your technical skills and resources.
Method 1: Edit your theme file
If you are comfortable editing the PrestaShop theme files you can generally edit the header.tpl file and add the facebook tracking pixel code in the head tags. This might require some advanced programming effort since you need to make sure that the tracking pixel appears only on the header of the order confirmation page (your conversion page) and not on all the web pages on the website. This can become little tricky for non-programmers or one with limited programming skills. Further every time you need to change the pixel id you need to edit your theme files which could be cumbersome and time consuming.
Method 2: Add the code using a PrestaShop module
This method is pretty easy and does not require any programming skills. All you need to do is to download & install the module and configure it from your Prestashop backoffice. The nifty little module that helps you adding Facebook conversion tracking code on your PrestaShop store is called Facebook order conversion tracking code manager and is available for purchase & download on the PrestaShop Addons Market place.
Once you have installed the module all you need to do is to activate the module from the PrestaShop backoffice >> Modules section and, then just input the tracking pixel id by clicking the configure link on the module page. See below screenshots
Step 1
Step 2
With this module you now don't need to edit the theme files and you don't need any programming knowledge. Also you can change the tracking pixel id anytime in future without any hassles.

When Brandi Glanville got pissed drunk recently and showed the world her thong and nips, and pretended to make out with her book agent, she wasn't the only one who reaped the press benefits. Brandi's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, Taylor Armstrong, got in on the action, too. Taylor had faux-concerned words to say about Brandi. But instead of saying it to Brandi's face, like an actual friend would do, she talked to the media.
Taylor told InTouch: "Absolutely I am concerned about [Brandi]. I know what it's like to go through a challenging time and to make decisions that are not necessarily the best thing for you. She and I are not that close for me to be disseminating advice to her, but I know that she probably is not feeling great about things right now and that's a tough place to be."
Okay, I get that it might be weird for Taylor to ring up Brandi and tell her how it is if the two aren't close, but ... if they're not close, why is Taylor talking about Brandi's drunken night to a rag mag? That's weird. And it seems like a really disingenuous form of "advice".
Taylor, you need to be quiet about Brandi's alcohol-induced antics. Sure, it was hilarious and one of the more declasse things we've seen in a while, but come on, girl. Don't talk to the press under the auspice of concern. You're not fooling anyone.
What do you think of this?
Image via Bravo
Are you for real? If the press asked her for her opinion, what do you suppose she was to say? I think she answered it very well. Why are you accusing Taylor of running to the press or giving advice of any kind? The Stir is stirring it up.
First of ALL there is NOTHING Funny about someones life Spinning out of Control !!! and this Woman obviously has a problem with being able to Handle her Booze !! she doesn't know when to stop AND speaking as someone who use to Bartendar it is UP to the Establishments and their Bartenders to CUT people off and send them on their way when they are getting too DRUNK !! Not only for their own Good but also for the Establishment and the Bartender's for they are Responsible for said person's safety and everyone's safety ( they can be sued if anyone gets hurt @ least in the state that I am from that is the law... I personally have cut many people off My self)...It's the responsible thing to do when you see soeone out of Control....Now that I have that off My chest I see Nothing wrong with Taylor answering this question when asked by the press.. She gave a classy answer period....
Their cast mates and she's being asked a question by the media. What's the big deal?

What is the most important information I should know about carbamazepine (Tegretol)?
This medication may cause severe or life-threatening skin rash, especially in people of Asian ancestry. Your doctor may recommend a blood test before you start the medication to determine your risk of this skin reaction. Seek emergency medical attention if you have a fever, sore throat, headache and skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.
You should not take carbamazepine if you have a history of bone marrow suppression, if you are also taking nefazodone, or if you are allergic to an antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Vanatrip, Limbitrol), desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil), or nortriptyline (Pamelor).
Carbamazepine may cause harm to an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both the mother and the baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking carbamazepine for seizures. Do not start or stop taking carbamazepine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice.
Do not use carbamazepine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days.
Before you take carbamazepine, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver or kidney disease, glaucoma, a thyroid disorder, lupus, porphyria, or a history of mental illness or psychosis.
You may have thoughts about suicide while taking this medication. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits. Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, depression, anxiety, or if you feel agitated, hostile, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
There are many other drugs that can interact with carbamazepine. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.
Do not stop using carbamazepine without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. You may have increased seizures or unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if you stop using carbamazepine suddenly.

Sunset's boys' volleyball team knew it would have to trek the toughest possible path Tuesday if it wanted to repeat as GMAC champions.
The Knights proved themselves worthy again of being regarded state title contenders by defeating three of the county's best — Columbus, Palmetto and Southwest — to win their first county championship since 2007.
Sunset (22-2) capped the performance by surviving a hard-fought 25-22, 21-25, 15-11 match against Southwest in the final match.
Juan De La Hoz led the Knights with 13 kills, 12 digs and three aces. Alex Lazo and Junior Franklin each had six kills. Setter Everett La France had 27 assists.
"As the season has gone on, the kids have gotten more comfortable with each other on the court," Sunset coach Camilo Gaitan said. "I'm very happy overall with our execution. We just have to get over the speed bumps teams face on the road to state."
Sunset, last season's state runner-up, is attempting to win its first state championship. The Knights have already defeated Orlando Bishop Moore to win the Smoothie King Invitational in March in what was a rematch of last year's state final.
Sunset added three more impressive wins Tuesday.
The Eagles (19-5), who beat Miami Springs and Coral Reef to get to the final, were led by a strong effort from junior Ricky Reguera, who had several kills. Reguera helped Southwest force a decisive third set. But after pulling within a point at 8-7, De La Hoz helped the Knights pull away. Jose Morales had the match-clinching block.
Sunset also managed without libero Matt Kanakis, who injured his back this week in practice. Backup Zach Fernandez filled in and played well on the back row.
Sunset, which surpassed 400 wins for its program Monday, beat Columbus 25-18, 32-30 in the quarterfinals and beat Palmetto 25-18, 25-23 in the semifinals.
"I'm extremely proud of the hard work these guys have put in," Gaitan said. "It's been a long time since we won this tournament so it's a welcome victory."
GMAC quarterfinal — Palmetto d. Varela, 25-18, 25-23: Kory Schulz 7 kills, 9 digs; Devin Decker 6 kills, 6 digs; Tarek Saade 19 assists, 5 kills, 6 digs.

Imagine it is 2025, 150 years after what became known as Medaille College was founded as Sisters of St. Joseph to train teachers.
And then imagine how professors will teach and students will learn.
"It will probably be in a classroom without walls," said Illana Lane, Ph.D., dean of Medaille's School of Education. "I would assume that people would be carrying around small devices to communicate back and forth for instruction. Some of it probably would be done face-to-face, some would not necessarily be done face-to-face."
Dr. Lane envisions that the future of learning will be done online or on a virtual site.
"Or with avatars, which I'm sure will be old by that time," said Dr. Lane. "There will be something else new. When I say a wall without classrooms, I mean I could be taking a class in real time with students in another country, where we are engaging back and forth with something that we are doing."
Dr. Lane's view of the future of learning is very similar to those of several other people associated with Medaille. And not everyone is going to be celebrating the future.
"I have a fear of what it is going to look like," said Claudia Conway, clinical assistant professor and chair of the undergraduate education program. "I have a fear it is going all virtual. It is going to be all online. We are going to stop doing face-to-face learning and we're going to move to almost all online."
Conway noted that Medaille already offers an extensive list of online options.
"I think there are some programs where that would be okay," she said. "But in my field, my students need to see me teach. They need to see me model what a teacher does and what a teacher sounds like. It is not something you can learn online. We can do some of that but not exclusively. That's my fear. And that's what I see as we become more and more dependent on technology. I see that happening."
Raymond Bailey '06 teaches a psychology course at the College, and he sees education moving towards a more hands-on approach. He said the technology at Medaille has greatly improved in the last 10 years with the addition of SMART Boards and easy access to the Internet.
"It's very easy to access video clips and create interactive presentations which really interest the students," said Bailey. "In regards to my psychology class, it's one thing to try to discuss theories with students but to be able to interact with theories using technology makes more of an impact and it is fun for teachers to interact with students as well."
Bridget Brace-MacDonald came to Medaille in August as the director of the Center for Community-Based Learning. She realizes that the College will be educating minds in the future in a very different way than she experienced in college almost a decade ago.
"I think the college classroom of the future is not always going to be in a traditional classroom," said Brace-MacDonald. "I think there will be more experiential education opportunities out in the field, with professors delivering content in a classroom to some degree and then learning simultaneously taking place outside the classroom. There will be more diverse ideas of what a classroom can be."Things certainly have been revolutionized since 1875 when Medaille was founded as an educational institution training nuns to become educators.
But one thing remains the same: an emphasis on the traditional three Rs - reading, writing and 'rithmetic.
"The basic skill sets have not changed," said Dr. Lane. "You still need to read and write critically, effectively and grammatically correctly. But communication has clearly shifted in terms of how that is done."
"Everybody needs to be able to read and write," said Conway, who has been in education for more than 30 years. She noted that years ago skilled laborers could have a marketable trade and get by with minimal education to be competitive.
"It doesn't matter what job you are doing now, you have to have more education to be a better reader," Conway added. "The job force requires educated, literate candidates."
This includes plumbers and auto mechanics.
"Probably even more so because everything is computerized," remarked
Conway. "Everything has technical manuals. You have to be able to read and to make critical decisions."
Students also need to develop critical thinking skills, and that has become a problem area, said Brace-MacDonald.
"That's one of the things employers are really having a difficult time with," she said. "One of the things that a liberal arts education like the one Medaille provides is critical thinking skills... It makes you a more agile and competitive job seeker. It gives you more options."
Amber M. Dixon '90, who became the interim superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools last summer, agrees that critical thinking skills are in decline.
"I think we spend a lot of time reducing complex situations into their most simple forms," said Dixon. "And the more we do that I think we have less faith in people understanding the complexity of what we do. Complexity is my favorite word because so much is not simple. With social media, with the press, with the infusion of other people's thoughts into our daily world, it's hard to make an informed decision... So critical thinking and thoughtful dialogue is going to keep us as a society to be proud of. Quick thoughts, quick answers and sound bites are not the way to go."
Brace-MacDonald believes connecting students to the community where they are learning is the way to go.
"One of the core principles of an educational system is to hopefully graduate civic-minded students," said Brace-MacDonald. "A lot of colleges don't necessarily act to ensure that this principle is carried out. Medaille is pretty incredible. We're making sure that at multiple points undergraduate have access to some form of experiential learning so that they can connect with the local community and become more civically engaged."
Governmental policies and mandates like President Bush's No Child Left Behind in 2001 and President Obama's Race to the Top in 2009 have also influenced the way education has changed and will change.
"They have definitely influenced our practice in terms of training our students to become teachers," said Conway. "What the government has mandated for public schools influences how we prepare teachers. So certainly the government has had an impact."
Conway sees positives and negatives in the policies.
"I think we needed the reform," she said. "I've been a teacher since 1975 so I've gone from a time when there was little direction given to teachers. The practices we used were not research-based. They were what we always did and what we thought was right. The government's influence has caused us to be more aware of current and appropriate and relevant research in helping kids become proficient. So I think its input has been good. But I also think there is a bad side because we have to be careful that they don't dictate that, rather they guide."
Dr. Lane added there hasn't been enough time to know whether the government policies have been helpful or not.
"What we try to do is make sure we are preparing our teachers well enough to go out in the field so they are aware of all of those changes," said Dr. Lane.
Of course, the way students consume and are influenced by media has made educating them more complicated. Their reliance on and use of social networks like Facebook and Twitter can expand knowledge, but can also dramatically reduce attention spans and impact likelihood of student success. It can be helpful or hurtful.
"I think it is a combination of both," said Dr. Lane. "I think it is helpful because it is another medium and mode of communication. So it is a new way of engaging. You get information quickly, albeit not always correct information. Some of the negatives to it is putting it in perspective what is the best way to educate using those mediums. There is value in having enough time to digest information, reflect upon it, respond, have discussion and engage, dialogue versus being in an environment rooted in getting an immediate response all the time."
Not surprisingly, a more recent graduate like Bailey sees the positives in social networks and considers Twitter and YouTube "as education giants."
"You have news directly at your fingertips and for students who may not have access to television or newspapers, it's a way to stay in the loop. I see social networking as a positive for learning. It's a way to create new lesson plans with fresh up-to-date information. Even seeing what students at other colleges are working on using YouTube is a way to help students form their own opinions on topics covered in class. It also presents a challenge for educators as well to keep up with the ever-changing social media."
Dixon said she isn't sure yet whether the influence of social media is a positive or a negative.
"It can be a force for good or a force for evil," said Dixon. "I don't know if quick communication is always the way to go. If we reduce ourselves to sound bites, I don't think it is the communication we need in this society. I think it can be a tool, but I don't think it should be our primary tool."
Conway also sees the pluses and minuses.
"I think too much of anything is not good," she said. "It's how you use it. The fact that information is so available to us is great because we have instant access to everything. What I think is negative is that it is distracting to us at times."
"I like the fact people are talking to each other but I don't think it is the same kind of conversation that you can have face-to-face. Texting and these short little emails don't have expression or the inflection or tone. Because of that, you lose the message."
Everyone agrees that the influence of technology on education is an important component now more than ever.
"We have to integrate technology into our classroom and I think Medaille has done a really good job of that," said Conway.
Dr. Lane said that there is current research that indicates that children's brains are developing differently because of technology and teachers have to adapt.
"They are wired differently because they've been consistently in a digitized world," she said. "So they don't learn the same way we do. And they multi-task differently... They are multi-tasking on multiple forms of digital. And they are highly sensory. Children are waiting to be entertained.
"Everything is a little extra amplified. Sound effects, animation, loud noise. There actually are some children who can't learn when it is too quiet. So it is a shift in that way."
That shift affects teachers.
"You are talking about individuals teaching in ways they were not taught when they were in school," said Dr. Lane. She added that in the past teachers thought the way they learned is the way students should continue to learn. That has changed.
"In essence we are training and preparing students for jobs, careers that haven't been even invented yet because of how fast the needs are changing and how quickly," said Dr. Lane. "The mode we have to be in now, because we don't technically know what is on the horizon, is to give everybody a skill set that is transitional."
The job market certainly is in transition.
"Twenty years ago, people generally stayed in one job," said Dr. Lane. "They stayed in one area. The skill sets they had they were able to use without it being an issue. Clearly, that has changed. People have multiple jobs. They don't necessarily stay within a 5-10-15 mile radius of where they grew up. They need to have transferrable skills because there is not the same commitment either from employer or employee... So part of it is gearing up people so they are in the mode that it is important to have skill sets to be able to do multiple jobs."
In the past, Dr. Lane said someone who wanted to become a first grade teacher might be able to make that a lifelong career. Not anymore. "The odds you are able to teach the exact same grade are slim to none," said Dr. Lane.
She said that population changes and the changing needs of school districts may prevent teachers from staying in one job, which has led teachers to get multiple certifications.
"It is not a requirement, it is like a professional development stamp," said Dr. Lane. "You need it to be an effective instructor. To be a good teacher, you should have more than one certification."
Many of the teachers Medaille has trained since 1968 may have thought that was hard to imagine. But these days when it comes to the future of education, imaginations run wild.

text: content March 15, 2004 In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive: Prenatal choline supplements super-charge young brains Protocol: Age-associated mental impairment Featured Products of the Week: Alpha GPC Children's Formula Life Extension Mix Life Extension Magazine March 2004 issue Life Extension for the brain Life Extension Update Exclusive Prenatal choline supplements super-charge young brains Researchers from Duke University Medical Center and the Durham, North Carolina Veteran's Administration Medical Center have found that the B vitamin choline given to pregnant laboratory animals vastly improved the neurologic function of their offspring compared to normal young. The Duke scientists are part of a national team who are investigating the effects of prenatal supplementation with choline on memory and learning. The study will be published in the April 2004 issue of the Journal of Neurophysiology. The team, led by Duke University and Durham VA researcher Qiang Li, MD, fed pregnant rats extra choline during a critical period of their pregnancies and studied how the hippocampal neurons of their young differed from those of a control group. They discovered that the neurons were larger and had a greater number of dendrites, which are the spiny protuberances that enable nerve cells to communicate. Additionally, the cells fired electrical signals more rapidly and for longer periods of time, as well as rebounded more easily from their resting phase. Senior author and Duke University neuropsychologist Scott Swartzwelder, PhD, explained, "Having more dendrites means that a neuron has more surface area to receive incoming signals. This could make it easier to push the neuron to the threshold for firing its signal to another neuron." Research conducted at the University of North Carolina has shown that choline adds a methyl group to a gene that inhibits cell division process in the brain's memory centers, thereby switching the gene off. Other research has observed greater activation of two hippocampal proteins that participate in memory and learning in animals who received choline prenatally. The research has profound implications for humans, because it suggests that enhancing the diet of pregnant women with choline could have a lifelong benefit on their children's learning ability. Dr Li summarized, "Previous studies at Duke have shown that choline-supplemented animals are smarter and have a greater learning capacity, but we hadn't known until now whether the cells that make up memory-relevant brain circuits are changed by choline. Choline didn't just change the general environment of the brain, it changed the fundamental building blocks of brain circuits -- the cells themselves." Protocol Age-associated mental impairmentThe most commonly used memory-enhancing nutrients are precursors to the neurotransmitter "acetylcholine." Short-term memory function depends on acetylcholine acting as a signal to transmit messages between brain cells. Common acetylcholine precursors are various forms of choline and lecithin. Because acetylcholine helps brain cells to communicate with each other, it plays an important role in learning and memory. An extensive review concerning the multiple effects of glyceryl-phosphorylcholine (GPC) appeared in the journal Mechanisms of Ageing and Development (Parnetti et al. 2001). The analysis covered 13 published clinical trials, which examined 4054 patients with various forms of brain disorders, including adult-onset cognitive dysfunction; Alzheimer's disease; stroke; and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Overall, the consistent finding was that "administration of GPC significantly improved patient clinical condition." According to Parnetti et al. (2001), the effects of glyceryl-phosphorylcholine (GPC) were superior to the results observed in the placebo groups, especially with regard to cognitive disorders related to memory loss and attention deficit. They noted that the therapeutic benefits of GPC were superior to those of acetylcholine precursors used in the past, such as choline and lecithin. However, what most impressed the researchers were data indicating that GPC helps facilitate the functional recovery of patients who have experienced a stroke. Brain aging is partially characterized by neurotransmitter deficiency, along with a structural deterioration of neurons and their connective transmission lines (axons and dendrites). Because research indicates that GPC may be of benefit in helping to prevent these pathological events, it may thus be possible to protect against underlying causes of brain aging while partially restoring cognitive function. Although sold as a prescription drug in European countries, GPC is available in the United States as a dietary supplement. Typical daily doses of GPC range from 600-1200 mg. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-003.shtml Featured Products of the Week Alpha GPC Cognitive decline is an issue many will face with advancing age. In fact, many people, as early as in their late 30s, start to detect short-term memory loss. The brain relies on certain compounds to maintain neuronal function and structure. L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) readily converts to acetylcholine in the brain. GPC also helps maintain neuronal structural integrity. Found in the brain and peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine is a messenger molecule that plays an important role in memory, learning, and attention. Children's Formula Life Extension Mix The effect of more than RDA (depending on age) amounts of vitamins and nutrients for children are largely unknown. Children's Formula Life Extension Mix contains amounts which are suitable for children 1 1/2 years and older. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00124.html Life Extension Magazine March 2004 issue Life Extension for the brainCholine is now recognized as so important to cognitive function that the US government requires food manufacturers and processors to supply at least 55 mg per portion to claim "a good source of choline" on their labels. It should be noted, however, that the recommended daily allowance for choline is 550 mg for men, 425 mg for women, and 450 mg and 550 mg for pregnant and lactating women, respectively. Because the digestive system is inefficient and cannot absorb all of the nutrients available from food before they pass through the body, essential nutrients such as choline must be supplemented. Natural formulations containing choline in any of its many forms, along with other ingredients that support its circulation to and absorption by the brain, are a vital part of a healthy diet. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar2004_report_brain_01.htm If you have questions or comments concerning this issue or past issues of Life Extension Update, send them to email@example.com or call 954 766 8433 extension 7716.

Amarillo, TX - Holiday traffic, delayed flights, and icy roads are the biggest challenges most of us face trying to wrangle our families together - but others face a different challenge.
On a national scale, petty crimes like theft generally see an uptick in the holiday season - and that means bail bondsmen see more business.
But on a local scale, bondsmen actually see less traffic through their doors.
"Usually the week before, we kind of slow down," says Chris Konnecke of Freedom Bail Bonds in Amarillo. "Crime never slows down, but people calling us to get their loved ones out, because they're saving up for Christmas."
And finances are ever-more important in a sluggish economy when just about everyone is stretching their dollars as far as they can - which means more than a few minor offenders may be spending Christmas in a jail cell.
"If so-and-so gets arrested on traffic tickets, they're going to do what they can to get them out," explains Konnecke. "And then you've got the ones that are on a fixed income, and so what they can afford goes to food, rent, and some presents for the kids. That's probably not what anyone wants to hear, but it's the reality, at least right here in Amarillo. They don't want to bail anybody out if they're not contributing financially to the family; they may just be staying in jail."
The Potter County Jail echoed Konnecke's observations - they told me they'd only seen a handful of inmates get bonded out today (Dec. 24th).

Yes, Inauguration Day normally takes place on my birthday, January 20th. Technically, it still does. President Obama will be officially sworn in for his second term as President tomorrow at noon.
However, because January 20th falls on a Sunday this year, the ceremonial swearing-in of the President and Vice President, as well as all of the other inaugural activities, will take place on Monday. The postponement of inaugural activities because of the Sabbath has happened numerous times throughout history — both when Inaugural Day was originally March 4th: 1821 (James Monroe), 1849 (Zachary Taylor), 1877 (Rutherford B. Hayes), 1917 (Woodrow Wilson) and after it was switched to January 20th (in 1937): 1957 (Dwight D. Eisenhower), 1985 (Ronald Reagan), and, now, 2013 (Obama).
Random fun fact: That official swearing-in of Ronald Reagan for his second term on Sunday, January 20, 1985 is my first Presidential memory. Reagan had taken the official oath earlier that day and later did the coin-flip via satellite from the White House for the Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins.
