Rick Wright about Syd
I walked into the studio at Abbey Road, Roger was sitting, mixing at the desk, and I saw this big bald guy sitting on the couch behind. About 16 stone: huge, bald, fat guy. And I didn't think anything of it. In those days it was quite normal for strangers to wander into our sessions. I thought, 'He looks a bit…strange' Anyway, so I sat down with Roger at the desk and we worked for about ten minutes, and this guy kept on getting up and brushing his teeth and then sitting, doing really weird things, but keeping quiet. And I said to Roger, 'Who is he?' and Roger said 'I don't know.' and I said 'Well, I assumed he was a friend of yours,' and he said 'No, I don't know who he is.' Anyway, it took me a long time, and then suddenly I realized it was Syd, after maybe 45 minutes. He came in as we were doing the vocals for 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond,' which was basically about Syd. He just for some incredible reason picked the very day that we were doing a song which was about him. It was a huge shock, because I hadn't seen him for about six years. He kept standing up and brushing his teeth, putting his toothbrush away and sitting down. Then at one point he stood up and said, 'Right, when do I put my guitar on?' And of course he didn't have a guitar with him. And we said, 'Sorry Syd, the guitar's all done'. That's what's so incredibly…weird about this guy. And a bit disturbing, as well, particularly when you see a guy and you don't recognize him. And then for him to pick the very day we start putting vocals on a song about him. Very strange.

No matter how many years pass, the memories, both good and bad, of children never fade.
On Sunday, families gathered to remember, honor and celebrate the lives of children gone too soon at a memorial service hosted by Day by Day, a grief support group for bereaved parents and family members.
The recreation center at CrossPoint Church was full of family members who shared stories of heartbreak and loss.
Some held tissues in one hand and their memorial candles in the other.
But it wasn't all tears and sorrow. Laughs also could be heard as stories and memories were shared and smiles spread across faces as pictures of loved ones showed on two large projection screens.
Some were newly bereaved, having lost their loved one just months ago, and others have grieved for 40 years or more.
Day to Day is about healing and hope. Events like Sunday's service are good for that, Norman Hargett, a leader of the Day to Day group, told the crowd.
"There are four words that are heard at each of our meetings," said Hargett, who honored his son, Robert, during the memorial service. "You will get better."
The lights in the large room were shut off, the darkness likely resembled the feelings many of the families felt in the days, weeks, months and maybe years that followed the death of their loved one. But as names of lost children were called and messages and memories shared, small flickers of light from candles being lit began to illuminate the room again.
As the dozens and dozens of names were called the room got brighter and brighter.
It was almost a metaphor for families traveling out of the darkness of loss into the light of hope.
Nancy Sanford, who honored her brother, Clay Meeks, during the memorial, read a passage, titled "Tears are the Proof of Life," to illustrate that journey.
"But the thing to remember is not only that the pain will last, but the blessed memories as well," she read. "Tears are the proof of life. The more love, the more tears."

Whether it's baked, drizzled, melted or covered in-Paula's got a chocolate recipe that's decadent and delectable. With Ice Cream Balls, Caramelized Brownies, Savannah Chocolate Cake w/ hot fudge sauce & a Chocolate Toffee Trifle.
Chewy Caramel Brownies
- Paula recommends following the instructions for baking a "chewy" brownie when making your packaged brownies from a mix.
- When making your ice cream balls, form them quickly using just your hands to make them soft enough for the nuts to stick to easily.
Savannah Chocolate Cake
- Make sure to whack your baking pan full of cake batter on the counter a couple of times before you bake it, so that you get all the air bubbles out for a smooth chocolate cake.
- When making the hot fudge sauce to top your cake, always add the vanilla extract at the last second, so that it doesnt evaporate out of the sauce while its sitting in the heat.
Chocolate Trifle
- A good way to know whether or not your cake is done is to check to see if the sides of the cake pull away from the baking dish.
- You can use the same hot fudge sauce from the chocolate cake when making this trifle.
Paula's Tips
- Feel free to personalize everyones bowl of ice cream with different candy toppings when serving the brownies to family or friends, like cookies, peppermint or even cookie dough.
- Try sprinkling sweetened cocoa on your breakfast cereal to flavor it a bit.

Bed very comfortable, pool, staff nice
Too noisy because of the monorail outside, location far from bellagio
nice and clean, very big room
a little bit far away from the strip
Smoking in casino
The burger joint down stairs was geat!!
The bath room smelled like urine. And the beds were rock hard.
all around
Nothing ro was too loud nowhere to eat nothing for the kids and had to change rooms three times to get one to accommodate us two beds and no smoke ing
Everything see above
Off the strip and mono rail stop running at 3am makes it feel like you have a curfew in a city that never sleep
Room was out of date, little amenities. Room smelled bad, bed was poor. Elevators are confusing. Casino is small and old.
proximity to LV convention center
a bit outdated, even in the newly renovated rooms.
Our room looked like a bad 1980's movie with a kureg inside. It smelled horrible, there was hair in our sink. There is no reason rooms in 2014 should feel like a cheap hostel.
Did you renovate the rooms? I love the nonsmoking rooms. It's was so comfortable and luxurious!!
I hate the people standing by the elevator soliciting, but I know you're a resort. It's just annoying
Nice rooms, comfortable beds
Old, small casino. Not on strip. Resort fee was as much as room rate
Customer service was excellent
Wish the beds would've been bigger for the queen size and needs more complimentary items in the room
everything you need, rock vault show is one of the best, great food, sports screens, everything's clean, helpful staff
Not far from the strip Nice hotel
Keys had to be reissued twice Wouldn't open the room door Irritating to us to have to go to the lobby Oh well, we survived.
The location gives you easy access to everywhere in Las Vegas, wether you have your own vehicle or not.
I asked for a non-smoking room but it had a strong smell of cigar. Upon check-in, they were not clear of what I would get with the resort fee (extra $18) they charged. The hotel and the facilities inside it seemed a little abandoned.
The room was nicely cozy and comfortable.
There was a long line at check in (Saturday eve at 7 pm) though they have quite some staff. It is very inefficient though. They assigned us a room and when we got there it was dirty, towels on the floor - not cleaned up after the last guest. Mind it, at 7 pm. We asked for another room and it took 25 more minutes that we finally got it. Free complimentary internet connection - for 1 device per room. Maybe the management should check the calendar - it's 2014. Luckily we were there only one night.
The room size and comfort. The distance to the main street is close by car. They have a train station for the ones without car.
Service Desk Restaurants expensive and not good Additional fees for internet Sales people pushing you everyday in front of elevators to buy shows and tourist packages The parking lots very far from elevators.
The hotel is very nice and the location is excellent .. and comfortable, clean and quiet
extra resort fee internet costs 14.- a day
Restaurants, location, rooms were perfect .
Their billing system is awful. Duplicate payments, unfriendly staff. But hotel managers were eager to solve problems.
the room is very big an the bath room is big. the people in the lobby is very nice an friendly. it have a lot of shopping store their.
the thing i don't like is that they change you to much off the resort fee is to high.an they change you for a coffee. the beds are to short. you can hear people close their doors.
Very often my room was not done when I came back at night, The restaurant were closed between 4 p.m and 8 p.m, staff at the reception not very friendly, when I left they charged me 2 nights at a different Price tan agreed and in spite of my many mails I did not receive an answer. Will certainly not recommend this hotel
Especially the price but in general I like the hotel

Rule number one: No matter how fast a car is, there will always be someone who wants to go even faster. Rule number two: If you want to go faster, there will always be a tuner ready to oblige.
Call it indulgence, excess or a sheer ego trip, but considering most people who own highly modified cars never use them to their full potential, the sole motivation has to be individual expression, one-upsmanship-or both.
This is certainly the case with the Scuderia, as near perfect a sports car as Ferrari has ever made. Unlike its Lamborghini Superleggera rival from down the road, which only really bests its Gallardo brother when you plumb the last 15 percent of its capabilities, the Scuderia feels more finely honed all around than the F430 F1 from the word go.
With its better engine breathing and lower weight out of the box, it's the perfect base for Novitec Rosso to create an even faster and more spectacular version of the well-regarded F430 Bi-Kompressor conversion. Here on the stretch of autobahn running outside Novitec Rosso's Stetten base towards Munich, I discovered that the 717-hp, twin-supercharged demo car would not reach the advertised 348 km/h (217.5 mph) top speed. This isn't because the car runs out of puff, but because at 204 mph it hits peak revs with the factory gearing. If top speed is your thing, you definitely need the optional taller final drive.
A top speed past 200 mph is academic, anyway. Where the car really delights on a more frequent basis is slicing down challenging cross-country roads where its steering, chassis and power deliver the kind of visceral driving experience that pumps raw adrenalin straight to your senses.
At any speed, the directness of the Scuderia's controls, the feel of mechanical parts meshing with other mechanical parts, and the seemingly direct connection of the loud pedal with forward motion are a revelation, the fact that Ferrari has been able to imbue so much of a racecar sensation despite the continued presence of electronic assistance systems. This is especially so with the power steering and e-gas throttle, and ironic that countless hours have been spent trying to restore the kind of feel and feedback that used to come as standard.
While larger wheels and tires offer more mechanical grip, and indeed are de rigueur with this level of power, they can also corrupt steering feel and introduce unpleasant side effects like tram-lining and camber chasing. Novitec's development team was very rigorous in its task of ensuring that the uprated suspension and wider rubber had minimal negative impact.
While it would be irresponsible to test the high cornering limits of such a car on public roads, it's not a problem to dip into the boosted Scuderia's stupendous straight-line performance.
One of the areas of Scuderia superiority over the F430 F1 is in the speed of its gear selection. In Race mode, the paddle shift gearbox now opens and closes the clutch so fast, the irritating jerk on upshift is significantly minimized. It's not as smooth as the PDK in Porsche's new 911, but slick enough to make you look forward to rather than bracing for the next selection.
The great thing about the Ferrari V8 is its smoothness and high revving capability. In stock form, it has plenty of power at the top end, but with just 4,305cc and over-square bore and stroke dimensions, it needs revs to wind up its cavallini. With the twin blowers supporting it down low, the engine feels like it has gained displacement.
The greater torque means you don't need to use as many revs, and you can effectively drive one gear higher than the standard car in any given situation. On fast country roads I mainly used fourth and fifth gear, saving the lower ratios for trickling through villages.
The superchargers have very low pumping losses, and so impose relatively little drag on the motor so its throttle response and overall feel remains unsullied. What does change dramatically though is the resultant push in the back, which goes from strong to very strong.
"Enhancing the stock power and torque curves without changing their shape is fundamental to the overall balance and character of this car," explains Novitec boss, Wolfgang Hagidorn. "It would be easy to generate a lot of low-speed torque, but this would create traction problems and put a lot of stress on the drivetrain.
"Also, a fat low-end torque curve does not fit the nature of the mid-engine V8 Ferraris, which are more racecar and high-revving than a front-engine V12. That's why we were adamant that the shape of the power and torque curves should remain unchanged."
If you think the original 636-hp F430 Bi-Kompressor was fast, the Scuderia is on a different planet. An additional 81 hp and 55 lb-ft equate to just over 12 percent extra grunt, and the much faster gearbox shift program also helps in-gear performance. With flat-on-the-floor shifting pegged at just 0.6 milliseconds in Race mode, 62 mph now takes just 3.5 seconds.
As with the F430 Bi-Kompressor and Race versions, the factory suspension is replaced with a bespoke coil-over set-up made for Novitec Rosso by KW. This is adjustable for ride height as well as bounce and rebound. Despite firmer suspension settings and 20-inch wheels, ride quality doesn't lose the factory car's basic compliance.
Like the F430 Race, the Scuderia wears 8.5 and 12.0x20-inch versions of Novitec's classic five-spoke design, shod with 235/30 and 325/25 Pirellis. These were painted satin black with yellow color matching on the outer lips. The larger wheels also lend a better view of the massive Brembo brakes. The 380mm (14.96-inch) ceramic discs and six-pot calipers save 45 pounds over the equivalent steel brakes. They're stunningly effective in both bite and retardation, which is just as well because 717 hp really shrinks the straight bits between the bends. Increasing the throttle past the apex, you find the g-forces piling on. By the time the car comes straight, you're carrying immense speed toward the next corner, and it's time to use those awesome brakes again.
If this is enough to give you sweaty palms, Novitec's latest steering wheel has Alcantara between the carbon-fiber top and bottom sections to help you keep a firm grip. Enlarged carbon paddles aid shifting when you have the steering wheel cranked over in a tight bend.
The new front bumper spoiler, rear valence and flaps for the sill panels are also made from carbon fiber, as is the engine cover. Unlike the normal Bi-Kompressor, the Race and Scuderia versions do without a rear wing.
In the cabin, Novitec Rosso has picked out the shapes on the lightweight sport seats, doors, dashboard, center console, handbrake gaiter and rear bulkhead with yellow stitching on grey Alcantara or leather. The carbon trim on the door casings, dashboard ends and center console are standard on the Scuderia. It's all topped off by Novitec's alloy pedal set and passenger footwell toe-board.
The tuning and customization industry has thrived on the fact that true enthusiasts express themselves through their cars. And the wealthier you are, the better equipped you are to underline that individuality.
A stock F430, especially in red, risks blending in-especially at a club meeting. The Novitec Rosso Scuderia, however, makes a clear statement that you're a predator, not one of the herd.

MANKATO, MN (WTAQ) - Two goals in the first period by senior Brianna Decker got the Wisconsin women's hockey team off to a strong start Saturday at Mankato, Minnesota.
But, it was three freshmen working together who scored the winner in a 3-2 victory over Minnesota State.
Video review negated two other possible Badger scores.
Decker's pair of goals had the Badgers up 2-1 going into the final frame. Freshmen Erika Sowchuk, Molly Doner and Kim Drake worked together around the net, with Drake pushing what would be the eventual winner across.
Wisconsin outshot Minnesota State 39-18 and emerged with a record of 1-0-1. UW travels to Lindenwood for two games next weekend.

GREELEY, Colo. - The University of Northern Colorado women's basketball team had Colorado State by the horns on Wednesday night at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion but could not pull off the win, falling 59-48.
With the shot clock winding down, freshman guard Sara Hemmings drained a clutch 3-pointer to pull the Bears to within three points of the lead at 42-39 with 7:26 left in the game. But two quick turnovers by Northern Colorado helped CSU to a 50-39 lead with 4:13 left to play, giving the Rams just enough horsepower to pull it out.
Northern Colorado (2-6) got off to a quick start against Colorado State in the early parts of the game, as sophomore guard Whitley Cox used her pesky quickness to sink a trey and a layup to score five of her final 11 points and help put the Bears up 13-8 with seven and a half minutes into the game. Senior forward Heather Barbour's trifecta with 10:18 remaining in the first half gave the Bears their largest lead of the game at 19-12.
Helped by cold shooting and bad luck ball handling by Northern Colorado, Colorado State (3-5) used a 10-0 run over the next seven minutes to charge back at the Bears and take a 22-19 lead. Northern Colorado was able to keep the Rams from running wild however, going into halftime trailing only 28-23.
CSU rambled out the gates at the start of the second half, running up its lead to 42-29 with 11:37 left in the game. However, Northern Colorado immediately clawed back by going on a 10-0 run over the next four minutes, but it wasn't enough to coral the Rams.
Hemmings led the Bears down the stretch with crucial baskets and finished with 10 points, including two 3-pointers in 15 minutes of action off the bench. Barbour scored in double-figures for the 22nd time in the last 25 games, finishing with 10 points. She also tied freshman forward Tina Fox with a team-high seven rebounds.
Colorado State was led in scoring by Kelly Jo Mulaney, who dropped 19 points. Marilyn Moulton pulled down 10 rebounds.
The Bears will return to action on Saturday, as they travel to Fullerton, Calif., to take on the Cal State Fullerton Titans at 2 p.m. mountain time. The game will be broadcast on 1310-AM KFKA and can be accessed free of charge on UNCBears.com.

For every kg of water evaporated from a cold water humidifier, 0.68kW of cooling is provided to the atmosphere. As cold water humidifiers can operate on as little as 0.5kW while delivering hundreds of litres of water per hour, their potential for low cost cooling is great.
Traditional compressor driven air conditioning systems have relatively high energy requirements. Evaporative cooling can't always replace the need for compressor driven cooling as it's effectiveness depends on the conditions of the supply air. However, it can offer a low cost alternative and significantly reduce the load on chillers when conditions allow.
It is particularly effective when used alongside free air cooling systems, which use high volumes of outside fresh air to cool an internal atmosphere, such as those used in modern data centres.
There are two types of evaporative cooling using cold water humidifiers direct and indirect. Direct evaporative cooling sees the humidifier providing moisture to the incoming air, increasing its humidity while decreasing its temperature.
Indirect evaporative cooling is when the humidifier operates on the exhaust air. Before being expelled, the air is humidified and cooled, then passed through a heat recovery unit to transfer the cool thermal energy to the incoming air. This cools the incoming air without adding any additional moisture.
The main types of cold water humidifiers used in evaporative cooling systems are either spray or evaporative humidifiers.
Spray humidifiers can deliver cooling either directly to a room's atmosphere or as part of an air handling system. They include compressed air and water spray humidifiers such as the JetSpray or high pressure spray humidifiers, such as the Condair HP.
Evaporative humidifiers, such as the HumEvap MC3 , are located inside a duct or AHU.

Whether you've seen the announcement fliers, glanced at a Facebook event or glimpsed at the lettered apparel, the thought of going Greek has certainly crossed your mind. Nearly every female college student ponders whether to rush.
Certainly, joining a sorority is no trivial matter as your Greek experience will be forever embedded in your college memories. You will have to decide if a sisterhood is for you.
Community service: Sorority life means participating in major charity events, which not only add to your resume but also expose you to philanthropy organizations. Simmy Bhargava, a senior at Rutgers University and president of its Kappa Phi Gamma chapter, said her sorority raises about $1,000 for the Children's Leukemia Foundation annually.
Life-long friendships: A sisterhood fosters strong bonds between members; each sorority has its own specific theme and value system that bring sorority members closer together. Elle Fowler, a fashion expert featured in Teen Vogue, said, "I met Britney, who is now one of my best friends for life, through my sorority. We lived together in college for three years." Bhargava added that in a sorority, "you really become yourselves around a group of girls you normally may not have opened up to."
Multi-dimensional growth: The ideal college experience is a multi-faceted one that encompasses all aspects of personal growth. One of the biggest advantages of a sorority is that the experience aids girls in developing social skills, leadership qualities and moral values. Fowler believes that sororities "are a great way to become well-rounded. You have the charity aspect, the social aspect, the sisterhood."
Time commitment: Fowler admits that "there are lots of parties involved. You have a really packed schedule outside of classes. It is very time-consuming." Besides the parties, socialization in a sorority comes with many unofficial events such as dinner dates and movie nights.
Pressure: A study done at Lafayette College, researchers studied the effects of sorority membership on behaviors like eating disorders and self-objectification. The researchers found that sorority girls were more likely than non-sorority girls to have anorexia or bulimia. The study also found that sorority members were more likely to have negative body images and judge themselves on physical appearance.
Substance abuse: In September 2005, a survey done by National Institute of Drug Abuse showed that illegal substance use was more common among sorority members than non-sorority women. Furthermore, sorority members had higher rates of alcohol, marijuana and cigarette use. This correlation is generally attributed to the peer pressure prevalent in Greek life.
So, if you're a student contemplating whether to rush or not, there are some questions you may want to ask yourself. Are you someone who can balance homework and social events? Do you prefer a regimen instead of a flexible schedule? Are you someone who can effectively deal with peer pressure? If you answered yes to all these questions, then you may find Greek life is well worth the drawbacks.

How, exactly, are we supposed to reestablish intimacy when the one thing it's not really going to be is intimate?
Yep, it's as sexy as it sounds. After a several-week postpartum hiatus, I am about to make my grand reentrance into the world of what my Gramma likes to call "intimate relations." My Return to Romance Tour, if you will.
As depressing and lame as scheduled sex is, I have to admit it was pretty smart of my husband to make me commit to an actual appointment. This is because I pride myself on being an outrageously responsible person, and thus do not like to miss or even be late for appointments. Clearly he was aware that by holding me to an actual time slot, I'd be loathe to back out.
Really, he's been so super-humanly patient with me. I've been a little iffy -- to put it mildly -- about getting back into the world of whoopee, an iffiness I attribute at least in part to the insane fact that I JUST PUSHED A HUGE HUMAN BABY OUT OF ME. Plus, caring for an infant can make a person feel physically depleted. "Try having a baby draped over your engorged breasts!!" I once shrew-ily screeched at my husband when he attempted to make out with me. Poor guy. But maybe only women can truly and fully understand this feeling. When someone is sucking and clawing at your nipples all the livelong day, the idea of another body pressed against your body -- no matter how attracted you are to that body -- can make you want to shoot yourself in the knees.
But those issues aren't even the biggest ones for me. I'm even relatively nonplussed about the possibility that rogue jet streams of milk could squirt from my nipples during foreplay (nothing sexier!). Frankly, my way bigger distress is over the new DYNAMIC. I mean, our apartment is "space-challenged" and bebe sleeps in our room. So it's just hard for me to envision exactly how this is going to work moving forward. Like, is she going to watch us? With her little pervy eyes? Because this strikes me as possibly very creepy. What if I'm distracted by her presence forevermore and never fully enjoy sex again? I suppose the idea is that eventually I'll forget she's there. I guess? I kind of doubt it though. I have trouble enough having sex in front of my cat. And even if I manage to acclimate to the new threesome, who's to say the baby isn't going to be scarred by what she sees? After all, they say that as babies sleep, they download the experiences they've had during the day. I don't want her taking mental snapshots that, decades down the line, will emerge from within the depths of her repressed memory and make her profoundly disturbed and/or want to vomit.
This seems like a tricky business. How, exactly, are we supposed to reestablish intimacy when the one thing it's not really going to be is intimate?
I guess I've got plenty of time to ponder this. Meanwhile, the sex appointment stands. It is on the books and, thus, I will be there. On time. And I plan to bring a good attitude. Because it could be great. And let's face it: No matter what, it'll be refreshing to connect with my husband in a capacity that does not involve analyzing the texture of our baby's stools and/or shouting rhymes in high-pitched, singsongy squeals.
And, who knows, maybe we'll end up discovering that our little lady doesn't even want to watch. Maybe she'll think we're a total snoozefest in the sack. Like she just won't find us compelling enough to bother with. That is a distinct possibility I have yet to actually consider. And now that I think about it, I do hope that won't be the case. That could be kind of insulting.
|Meredith Hoffa's first-person writing has appeared in The New York Times, Boston Globe Magazine, Fit Pregnancy, Business Traveler, and the new anthology, "Rejected" (Villard/Random House, 2009). She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter.
Why not just do it elsewhere in the apartment? Away from baby's prying eyes…
Sex was the last thing on my mind after my daughters were born. A scheduled "date" is probably a good idea.
I had a c-section with my first, VBAC with my second. Oddly, despite the un-godly amount of stitches with the VBAC, sex was more painful after the birth of my first daughter.
Beware of the "milk squirts" though. No one filled me in on that fact.
There's nothing wrong with doing it with the baby in the room. Shoot, me and my DH do it with the baby in the bed. She sleeps right through it !
It's not like they will remember it lol.
What are you thinking? just go ahead an d have some fun. The playmates have a lot to catch up on.
I love threesomes!! (:
A "several week postpartum hiatus" … like are you talking only 3 weeks there? Because if you are, that's INSANE! And if you're into it that early, then man, your hubby better NEVER leave you! : )

Where do you fit in at WSC? Take a look at life at Weber in the Signature section, starting on page 8. Friday, January 18, 1985 Weber State College 45 No.24 1 Pres. Brady Opts For New VP: Search Is Underway by Rae Dawn Olbert Managing Editor WSC President Rodney H. Brady has announced the addition of a new vice president for student affairs to the administration. Brady chose to create a new vice president after considering several proposals from various campus groups and organizations. One of the proposals was to consolidate student affairs under the direction of Academic Vice President Robert Smith. As the student affairs office now stands, many of the various student services come under the administration of Smith, with Dr. Jerald Storey, vice president for business affairs and Dean Hurst, vice president for college relations, directing the remaining services. In a memo to WSC faculty and staff, Brady said he had consulted with a number of his colleague presidents throughout the nation in making his decision. He- said, "The basic reason for the change is I want to get closer to the students and have the advantage of having an independent voice of the students expressed in the top councils of the college." The student affairs office includes student government, student organizaton, activities, student housing, food service, the counseling center, student discipline, student health services, career placement and counseling and services for special student groups such as international students, the physically challenged and re-entry students. The new vice president will oversee each of these. Smith said he does not feel strongly one way or the other about the new position. He said he realizes the president had a broader range of issues, such as off-campus relations, to consider when making his decision, whereas Smith had fewer factors to consider. Smith said, "It is incumbent upon me to work with the new vice president to see that we get the student services we need." He feels one of his and the new vice president's major goals is "better integration of the (student services) program." He said that the success of the new vice president will depend on who is chosen. Brady looks to fill the position from a campus source before considering off-campus applicants. Applicants for the position will be evaluated on: personal integrity, skill in leading, managing and motivating other people, ability to function with peer executives, skill in assisting students to visualize and achieve their greatest potential and a demonstrated comprehension of, and commitment to, student affairs functions, to name a few. Brady said he hopes to fill the position by July 1, 1985. - I 4 Stgnposl photoMatthew Brown Larry Linville came to Wcbcr State yesterday as part of "Festivention," a theater program being hosted by WSC's Theater Department. M A S H Star Delights Record Crowd by Chris Larsen Entertainment Editor A record crowd of over 1500 students, faculty and community members attended a special convocation yesterday afternoon with guest speaker Larry Linville. Larry Linville, better known to the world as Major Frank 'ferret face' Burns of the hit television series MASH, spoke in the Browning Center to the near-capacity crowd as part of the "Festivention" program, hosted by the WSC Theater Department. The actor delighted the crowd when he did his well-known Frank Burns laugh. Linville spoke about his life and the events that led him to perform the character Major Frank Burns. Linville said that by speaking about his life story he could "give an example of decision-making and the results of those decisions." Linville explained why he left the hit series MASH. "I was burned out. Five years of my life were gone." Linville said he had done an equivalent of 32 full-legnth movies in his time with MA SH. He said he had gone through two divorces in four see "Linville" on page 5. Regents Convene: WSC On Agenda Editor's Note: For the benefit of our readers, the Signpost will publish a series of articles examining certain influential groups and committees that affect Weber State College in some way. Following is an article explaining what the Utah State Board of Regents is and how it affects Weber State College. Future issues will examine the Institutional Council, faculty senate and area councils. by Scot Parry Staff Reporter "The Board of Regents is the governing board for all higher education in the state of Utah," said Dr. Rodney H. Brady, president of Weber State College. "As such, they have the constitutional authority to exercise all powers, with respect to the institutions of higher education." The board consists of 15 businessmen and women, the lieutenant governor and a student representative. The student representative for this academic year is Brad Howell, former ASWSC president.The state senate must approve everyone except the student member, who serves a one-year term. Regents are appointed for six-year terms, which are staggered so that one third of the board is replaced every two years. This replacement takes place on the odd year, usually in the month of July. A regent may be reappointed to his position. One of the duties of the Regents is to select presidents for the state's colleges and universities. On Friday, Jan. 18, the Utah State Board of Regents will hold its monthly meeting at Utah Technical College in Salt Lake. Standing committee meetings will begin at 9 a.m. and the general meeting will run from 10-12:30 p.m. see "Regents" on page 3.

|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.

Homophobia ruled at the spring gathering of the Republican National Committee this week in Los Angeles as the group approved — with no debate — yet another resolution affirming the party's steadfast opposition to gay marriage.
A simple resolution approved in a voice vote by the 157 members of the RNC said:
"The Republican National Committee affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America."
The resolution flies in the face of a trend of an increasing number of Republicans who are changing their positions on gay marriage but showcases that the party is still controled by a rabid right-wing element.
Conservatives worked up the resolution to try and quiet conservatives who say the party is becoming too mainstream and too in step with a majority of Americans. They want the GOP to keep the party in a bygone era of intolerance that includes homophobia, racism and bigotry.
Two GOP Senators — Rob Portman of Ohio and Mark Kirk of Illinois — have gone public with their support of gay marriage — a concept that virtually all Democrats in the Senate support but the RNC move shows the party of the elephants is still mired in the past.
How strong was the conservative backlash? The RNC also approved a resolution that supports "core values" of virtually unlimited gun ownership and use, marriage only between a man and woman, draconian border security and the standard hardcore opposition to abortion.
"The more things change, the more the Republican party stays the same," longtime GOP activist Josh Samuelson told Capitol Hill Blue. Samuelson said he will be working for Democrats in upcoming elections.
The RNC also passed a resolution honoring former GOP Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the maverick right-winger who ran for President three times (once as a Libertarian, twice as a Republican) and lost overwhelmingly each time. Paul retired from Congress this year after a muddled career that included publication of a strongly racist newsletter, oddball stands on financial matters and many failed attempts to eliminate the Federal Reserve.
"It's interesting," says Joanna Kingston, another longtime but now disaffected Republican. "Nowadays, the only thing the Republicans can honor are failed ideas and failed elected officials."
11 Responses to "Republicans reaffirm homophobic stand on gay marriage, honor perennial loser Ron Paul"
Ron Paul ran a newsletter for decades and only during the period when he left the House and was back in TX w the newsletter published in DC did 10 articles out of decades of newsletter have some bad stuff. Contemporaneously he gave speeches on racist bias of drug war, and throughout medical practice gave free and discount med service, turning none away for inability to pay, never taking medicare/caid, many of these patients were members of minority groups. Choosing to push disprovable smears taints your image of…. um, lack of bias?
And Ron Paul's opinion on gay marriage is that the govt has no business in marriage at all, which should be decided between individuals and religious organizations, where applicable.
KJ, you are correct about how Congressman Ron Paul views social issues. But, he was prochoice when he ran as a Libertarian and then an Independent.
The RNC (Republican National Committee) knows that the bath they took in the last election will permanently scar them unless they change course and stay firmly in the pocket of the religious right. As a Catholic, his personal preferences will always come from the Vatican but his respect for the Constitution allows him to leave personal, social choices to the individual.
One only has to read the words of Pat Robertson to understand the focus from the GOP since the end of WW2. In 1999, there was a group of LP members and the leaders of the GOP who decided to soften up the GOP and blend it with the LP. I was at that conference and I became aware of how to run a campaign as a Republican but lean firmly into the LP. The group was called the Republican Liberty Caucus but it had little emphasis in the GOP.
When the GOP House managed to Impeach Clinton, they began to lean into the words of Robertson and the other Theocrats. I was very sorry to learn that the GOP won that battle. I was a Republican at that time but very embarrassed at the words and actions of a party that had been mine since Ike.
I stayed a Ron Paul supporter all those years because I understood his keeping his personal opinions away from his political votes.
Dr. Paul will not run again but he may be too old (he's younger than me) to stand up to an abrasive group of ugly theocrats.
My many years of supporting the GOP was based on the Separation of Church and State. This was erased by President Bush "W" and added to many of his actions kept me out of the GOP from then on.p
There is no more Republican Party for many of us. For Dr. Paul to balance his politics has caused a great deal of trouble. I simply packed up and ripped up my voter registration card.
We never seem to let losers die a dignified death and I'm certain Ron Paul will be picked to death to give someone the last word.
It's sad to watch CHB fall for the politics of division.
Nothing could be better for America than to have both political parities swing in the Ron (and Rand) Paul direction and embrace Libertarianism. Our party system is tainted and confused. True "Liberals" believe in individual freedom. The Democrats in America call themselves "Liberal" but are conservatively backing government as the best thing since sliced bread. The Republicans are generally called "conservative" but often want drastic change and sadly would use government as well to back socially conservative ideas. Both parties enjoy the good life in DC with our money and obey only the Lobbyists will.
All this "anti-gay marriage" prejudice now being spouted by GOP homophobes is simply one more "nail in the coffin" of the Republican Party.
Clearly, the far-right Christian bigots who are now firmly in control of the Republican Party are increasingly finding themselves farther and farther outside the mainstream of America.
Yet they STILL don't have the faintest clue as to why they aren't attracting more like-thinking, rabid followers.
Fortunately, the GOP's homophobic bigotry is also now signaling a corresponding rise in the popularity of so-called "third parties"…such as the Libertarians and others who want to return fiscal responsibility to our Government while at the same time getting the Government's nose out of our bedrooms.
I say, bring them on……

The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) is excited to announce its 2014 International Conference, The Exchange, taking place August 13-16, 2014 in Austin, Texas at the Austin Hilton. This year's theme, The Exchange, highlights the process at the very core of what we do as designers. Through the innovative processes of design, something of value is given and something of value is received, advancing a current condition or experience to a new, expanded state.
Designers know that the exchange between designers and developers, researchers and users, people and products, educators and students, and ideas and actions, is the dynamic space in which we operate. At a high level, this conference serves as a vibrant gathering place in which design and industry professionals, design educators and students can exchange knowledge, information, ideas and stories regarding the many facets of the product development and design profession.
Building on the fantastic conferences in Boston and Chicago, The Exchange will focus on compelling content, engaging presentations and plenty of opportunities for people to experience meaningful exchanges in six key areas: context, community, value, culture, interpersonal, and education. We will bring back the un-conference format as exchange pods, with updates that further enrich the experience. We will also host another social impact session where attendees use design thinking to give back to the community. Other conference events include the Education Symposium, the unveiling of the Best in Show winner at the IDEA 2014 Ceremony, portfolio reviews and a silent auction.
Of course, the conference won't be all work and no play! We are planning more opportunities for conference attendees to experience the local Austin culture and design scene. And, of course, the International Conference opening and closing parties are legendary and sure to be highlights of the experience once again.
Take a moment to mark your calendars for next August 13 through the 16 and be sure to join us in Austin for The Exchange!

How is the United Way of Southwest New Mexico different from other nonprofit organizations?
The UWSWNM exists for one reason – to help us come together as a community to identify and address the issues that take all of us working together to solve. Issues like making sure children enter school ready to learn and that all people have access to primary healthcare, issues that can only be addressed with a collective community focus and action.
What is the focus on the United Way of Southwest New Mexico's work?
The UWSWNM works to assess community needs to address education, income, health and community/family building. These are the building blocks for a better life for every individual and in turn, a strong and vibrant community – quality education for children, self-sufficient families, access to primary health care and supportive relationships. Our goal is to tackle today's tough issues to ensure that our community thrives both now and in the future.
What is LIVE UNITED?
It takes our entire community to make a difference – no single shelter, meal program or child care center can solve the challenges we face in southwest New Mexico. However, each one of us can do something to change our world. We need you, we need each other. To LIVE UNITED is to be a part of the change. We invite you to be a part of these changes and together, UNITED, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better community today!
How do people get help from the United Way of Southwest New Mexico?
The UWSWNM supports more than 43 agencies and programs working throughout the communities of southwest New Mexico every day. While the UWSWNM does not provide direct services to individuals and families, it does operate the Community Connect program, which works to connect individuals within our community to the programs and services they need! To find programs and services, access the UWSWNM Community Connect Program online at www.liveunitedswnm.org or call the UWSWNM Office at (575) 524-7561!
What else does the United Way of Southwest New Mexico do besides fund nonprofit organizations?
The UWSWNM works within southwest New Mexico to galvanize communities around critical issues and helps to provide support in areas that are not currently being met by other agencies through Community Connect Impact Programming.
We assess community needs to address education, income, health and community/family building. We invest resources in the community through partnerships with area nonprofit organizations throughout our five-count service area to build holistic solutions to solve complex and long-term term issues. We work to strengthen everyday systems for those who need help today while also looking down the road to the future so that fewer people will need help tomorrow!
The UWSWNM also works to encourage volunteerism and build a network of support by matching people in our community with specific interests, skills and expertise with volunteer opportunities where they can make the most direct and immediate impact!
How can young professionals get involved with the United Way of Southwest New Mexico?
Research conducted by the United Way Worldwide and other philanthropic study centers, shows that young professionals are more interested in exercising personal philanthropy through volunteerism than through financial gifts. There is also a preference among this group to be engaged by nonprofit organizations in skill-based volunteer opportunities that help them develop leadership experience.
We currently offer workshops and networking opportunities to engage young professionals in our community and help them learn about the opportunities available to work with nonprofit organizations in our area, match them with agencies who are looking for individuals with their specific skills and educate them to become effective members of nonprofit boards.
The UWSWNM is currently using a variety of social media outlets and real life meet-ups to stay in touch with the next generation of philanthropists!
How do the troubles at other United Ways affect the United Way of Southwest New Mexico?
Simply put, they don't. Each one of the more than 1,400 affiliate United Ways throughout the nation are autonomous and managed by local staff and volunteers. The United Way of Southwest New Mexico is governed by a board of directors comprised of skilled and engaged members of our community who oversee every detail of the UWSWNM operations and includes local volunteers in all activities from fundraising to community investment!
Does the UWSWNM support the Boy Scouts?
Yes. Each of the 1,400 affiliate United Ways throughout the nation decides for itself whether to support each program based on their community's specific needs. Additionally, an individual may make their charitable contributions through the UWSWNM to any 501(c)3 organization of their choice. This year the local Boy Scouting council (the Yucca Council) will receive $1,475.66 from the UWSWNM.
Why should I support the UWSWNM?
Giving through the UWSWNM is the most effective way to invest your contribution in the community. We work together with our members of the community to get to the heart of our community's specific problems and create solutions that are tailored to our community's needs. We are the only place where individuals and companies can work together to make a lasting change now and for the future. The UWSWNM is working to ensure that children and youth achieve their potential, that individuals and families are financially self-sufficient, that people are healthy and that we are building strong community relationships to support one another.
Here are some advantages of giving through the United Way:
How can you expect me to give when the economy is so unstable?
When the economy is distressed, many more people are in need of assistance. Your contribution is even more critical during these challenging economic times. The decision to give may have been easier in years past, but has never been more important. As you consider the choices available to you and your family, we hope that you will remember how much help your contribution to the UWSWNM provides to our community.
The UWSWNM is focused on the basic pillars that support and sustain the best possible quality of life in our community: education, income, health and community/family building. Our actions today determine the reality for tomorrow, a tomorrow that will come regardless of the economy's condition.
Additionally, there is no gift to small – it is the power of consolidation and targeted community investment that is the strength of the UWSWNM and every single contribution matters!
Why choose the Community Action Fund?
The Community Action Fund is a powerful way to make an immediate and lasting impact on the issues that are most pressing in our community. The Community Action Fund is a unique option in philanthropy that allows you to join with thousands of other contributors to focus resources and solve the big issues facing our community by providing much needed financial support to local programs that are proven to strengthen our community and help people to live better lives.
Decisions regarding the allocation of the Community Action Fund are made by a committee of local volunteers from throughout our community, from business leaders and public officials to teachers and stay-at-home moms. The committee works together to determine priorities, review application and make all decisions regarding fund allocation. This unparalleled approach to community investment ensures that the Community Impact Fund is truly effective for our community!
In addition, the Community Action Fund provide support and visibility to smaller, lesser known nonprofit organizations in our community that are doing important work.
Can I give directly to my favorite issue area within the Community Action Fund?
The short answer is Yes! The UWSWNM is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income, health and community/family building. These are the building blocks for a good life – a quality education that leads to stable employment, enough income to support a family through retirement, good health and overall well being. Every contributor has the option to designate to one or any combination of these areas within the Community Action Fund on their pledge card.
Can I give directly to my favorite nonprofit organization?
Yes! Through the Restricted Contribution option on the pledge card a contributor may designate their contribution to any 501(c)3 organization in the world without restriction. A contributor may also choose to exclude any nonprofit agency from receiving a portion of their contribution should when giving to the Community Action Fund by checking the Restricted Contribution option on the pledge card and including writing "Exclude" and indicating specific organization's name.
How much of the money raised by the UWSWNM is used for administrative purposes?
Approximately 18 cents of every dollar raised by the UWSWNM is used for administrative and fundraising costs. We are constantly working to minimize overhead expenses and ensure that the greatest possible community impact is achieved for every dollar raised.

Keeneland officials announced Wednesday that 3,908 yearlings have been cataloged for its reformatted 2013 September Yearling Sale, to be held September 9-21.
The September Sale is globally acknowledged as the Thoroughbred yearling auction, and the primary barometer for the health of the horse industry.
Clientele from nearly every U.S. state and more than 50 countries include the world's major owners, many of the nation's leading trainers and a number of prominent juvenile sale consignors.
Keeneland is recognized worldwide as the premier Thoroughbred auction house, selling more champions and stakes winners than any other sales company.
Seven of the past nine Triple Crown races have been won by September Sale graduates (Animal Kingdom, Shackleford, Ruler On Ice, I'll Have Another, Oxbow and Palace Malice).
To date, 76 September Sale graduates have won 104 graded/group stakes, headlined by 19 Grade/Group 1 stakes winners, including Verrazano (William Hill Haskell Invitational and Wood Memorial), Palace Malice (Belmont Stakes), Oxbow (Preakness Stakes), champion Animal Kingdom (Dubai World Cup), champion Elusive Kate (Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes and Prix Rothschild), Game On Dude (Santa Anita Handicap and Hollywood Gold Cup), Marketing Mix (Gamely Stakes), champion Beholder (Las Virgenes Stakes and Santa Anita Oaks), Centralinteligence (Triple Bend Handicap), Graydar (Donn Handicap), Starship Truffles (Princess Rooney Handicap), Stephanie's Kitten (Longines Just A Game Stakes), Last Full Measure (Madison Stakes), Overanalyze (Arkansas Derby), California Memory (Standard Chartered Champions and Chater Cup), Reynaldothewizard (Dubai Golden Shaheen), and Swagger Jack (Carter Handicap).
"The September Sale is the one sale that shapes the sport," said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Walt Robertson. "September Sale graduates have competed in 42 of the 47 Grade 1 stakes held in North America so far this year. Buyers who want to compete at the highest levels shop the September Sale."
The two-week September Sale has been reformatted for 2013 to reflect three distinct market segments – week 1, the weekend, and week 2 – in an effort to better meet the current needs of consignors and buyers.
The 2013 format will be as follows:
Week 1 (Book 1) – Monday-Thursday, September 9-12; sessions begin at 12 p.m. ET daily.
The premier Book 1 catalog will span the entire opening week with a total of 875 yearlings cataloged alphabetically by dam over the four-day period.
Friday, September 13 – The traditional "dark day;" no sale will be conducted.
Weekend (Book 2) – Saturday-Sunday, September 14-15; sessions begin at 10 a.m.
Week 2 (Books 3-5) – Monday–Friday, September 16-21; sessions begin at 10 a.m.
"We strive to continually adapt the September Sale to meet the current needs of our consignors, and to facilitate the sales process so that we engage buyers from beginning to end," said Keeneland Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell. "We believe these changes will aid consignors in marketing their horses to their fullest potential, and allow buyers to better navigate today's competitive marketplace."
Yearlings representing 239 of the world's leading sires have been cataloged, among them being Arch, Awesome Again, Curlin, Distorted Humor, Duke of Marmalade (IRE), Dynaformer, Elusive Quality, Fastnet Rock (AUS), Galileo (IRE), Ghostzapper, Giant's Causeway, Hard Spun, Harlan's Holiday, Henrythenavigator, High Chaparral (IRE), Iffraaj (GB), Indian Charlie, Invincible Spirit (IRE), Kitten's Joy, Lemon Drop Kid, Majestic Warrior, Malibu Moon, Medaglia d'Oro, Midnight Lute, More Than Ready, Pulpit, Raven's Pass, Scat Daddy, Sea The Stars (IRE), Sky Mesa, Speightstown, Stormy Atlantic, Street Cry (IRE), Street Sense, Tale of the Cat, Tapit, Tiznow, Unbridled's Song, and War Front.

(FOX 11 / CNS) A 22 year-old man was in jail today on suspicion of killing his 55-year-old mother, police said.
Freddy Sanchez was booked in the stabbing death of Matilda Sanchez at his home in Sylmar Tuesday afternoon, and was being held in lieu of $1 million bail, Los Angeles police officials said.
Matilda Sanchez was stabbed multiple times, LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said. It happened about 4:20 p.m. in the 13900 block of Herron Street, and several calls to police were made at that time, Vernon said.
The son may have made one of those calls "to implicate his mother as the aggressor,'' Vernon said. When police arrived, they found the mother lying on the living room floor. She was declared dead at the scene, Vernon said.
"We have interviewed a witness, an uncle who lives in the home, who confirmed his nephew stabbed the woman,'' Vernon said. "It is especially tragic to deal with a scene where someone kills one's parent. This is the third such murder in Sylmar in two years.''
Detectives interviewed Freddy Sanchez and two other men in the home at the time of the stabbing, Vernon said.
Police responded to the home recently after reports of the son kicking doors and setting fires, he said.
"The history of activity at the home will give us more insight as to what's behind this tragic murder,'' Vernon said.
Detectives searched the home after obtaining a warrant and found a large, bloody butcher knife near the mother's body.

Replacement windows come in two flavors: insert, or "pocket," windows (which I discussed in a previous article, "Quick Wood Replacement Windows," April/07) and full-frame units. Where to specify each type is something every remodeling contractor should know. We often replace windows less than 20 years old that have failed due to poor quality, improper installation, or both. On this particular job, a developer had converted a vintage YMCA structure into 35 condo units around 1990. The off-brand wood windows he installed were doomed to failure from the start, thanks to the manufacturer's liberal use of untreated, finger-jointed pine, and the...

The phrase "one-off" has been popularly used in the auto industry these days with plenty of automakers building one-off models for their popular line of vehicles.
The latest to do so is British luxury car maker Rolls Royce . Sure, they're not known for one-off customizations like this one, but for a special client in Qatar, they went the extra mile, building a unique Rolls Royce Ghost with a two-tone English White and Ensign Red finish. The Ensign Red color, in particular, appears to be something Rolls Royce cooked up in their shops, accounting for a great chunk of the luxury car's characterized phrase of one-off exclusivity.
Inside, there are also plenty of upgrades, highlighted by an interior trim that's unmistakably Rolls-Royce: Seashell with Consort Red leather and an Elm Cluster veneer. Adding touches of panache to the leather and veneer, Rolls also added Consort Red accents that extend all the way to the dashboard, the steering wheel, and even the lower section of the floor.
For a one-off model, Rolls Royce did this Ghost some justice. Some people may be flippish on it, but from our end, it looks pretty good.
Heck, it's even better when you account for its 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 563 horsepower, a 0-62 mph time of 4.7 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph.

Over the weekend, a worker from Owensboro, 45-year-old Bobby Felty, died in a fall at Tell City's Waupaca Foundry.
Bob Dittmer with the Indiana Department of Labor says Stewart Industrial and Waupaca are working with I-OSHA to determine what happened.
State police and the Perry County Coroner's Office say Felty lost his footing while standing on some scaffolding at the foundry and was not wearing any kind of fall protection gear.
In a joint-statement from Waupaca and Stewart Industrial on Monday, Stewart says Felty participated in a pre-job safety meeting on July 3 and that the meeting included specific instruction on fall protection.
Waupaca also added that all contractors who work in the plant must meet specific safety requirements, before starting work, and that Felty was approved.
Dittmer says 'fall protection' varies from one job site to the next, so there will be several things for investigators to consider.
"What that fall protection is, depends greatly upon what they're doing. The rules can vary a little bit between manufacturing and construction. We know very little about what has happened in this particular circumstance right now. So, I really couldn't be in a good position to comment on what the employee should or should not have been using," Dittmer said.
Dittmer says this type of investigation normally lasts for two to three months.
Below is the entire statement from Waupaca and Stewart Industrial:
Representatives of Stewart Industrial and Waupaca Foundry are distressed by this weekend's fatal incident at the Tell City, IN plant. Bobby E. Felty, 45, of Owensboro, Ky., was an employee of Stewart Industrial and died Saturday after a fall in the foundry.
"Our deepest condolences go out to the Felty family. Bobby's family, friends and the Ironworker Local 103 are in our thoughts and prayers," said Allan Stewart, owner of Stewart Industrial.
According to representatives of Stewart Industrial, Felty was a member of a work crew doing maintenance on the plant. Felty attended a pre-job safety meeting on Wednesday, July 3 before starting work at the plant; that meeting included specific instruction on fall protection.
A joint investigation between Waupaca Foundry, Stewart Industrial and OSHA is underway to determine the cause. Felty was not wearing fall protection equipment at the time of the incident.
Waupaca Foundry has a comprehensive safety program in place and all contractors who work in the plant must meet specific requirements to be an approved contractor. Each contractor is reviewed annually and every project requires pre-job safety reviews. Bruce Tesch, plant manager for Waupaca Foundry, confirms that Felty and other crew members from Stewart Industrial attended all pre-job safety meetings prior to working in the plant.
"Our hearts go out to the entire Stewart Industrial family, " said Tesch. "They have been a valuable partner to Waupaca Foundry for many years."
Waupaca Foundry has an occupational health and safety management system, and is registered in all six of its foundries to be consistent with OHSAS 18001. Additionally, Waupaca Foundry provided a grief counselor to meet with Stewart Industrial employees and foundry employees following Saturday's accident.
Stewart Industrial has a comprehensive safety program that includes training and provides all employees with the tools and the equipment necessary to do the job safely.
Stewart Industrial has been working at Waupaca Foundry for several years and was contracted to provide maintenance during the foundry's holiday shutdown.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's top oil regulator says producers will increasingly ship more crude by rail to take advantage of better prices at markets not served by pipelines.
State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms told the Legislature's Government Finance Committee on Thursday that he expects as much as 90 percent of the state's crude will move by rail in 2014. Rail shipments now account for about 60 percent of crude produced in North Dakota.
North Dakota's oil production is nearing 1 million barrels daily.
Helms says oil prices have been slipping since July. He says it costs more to ship oil by rail than by pipeline, but producers are able net about $24 more per barrel by sending it on trains to U.S. refineries, where premium prices are fetched.

Following a National Inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, the Bringing them home report was tabled in the Australian Federal Parliament on 26 May 1997.
In response to the Bringing them home report, a National Sorry Day Committee was formed in 1997. During the next year, similar committees were formed in each of the states and territories. There is a national website: http://www.nsdc.org.au/that reports on activities around the country.
In the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the Canberra Sorry Day Network was formed. In 2002 the group was incorporated as Jouney of Healing (ACT) Inc.
The first National Sorry Day was held on 26 May 1998, a year after tabling of the Bringing them home report. Since then, commemorative events have been held around Australia to observe Sorry Day on 26 May each year.The Journey of Healing was launched nationally in 2000, and was the theme of National Sorry Day in 2005.On the 13 February 2008 the Government made a formal apology to members of the Stolen Generations.

MIAMI (AP) - Freshman Danielle Ballard scored a career-high 25 points as LSU knocked off No. 12 West Virginia 71-63 Friday night, handing the Mountaineers their first loss of the season.
After 12 ties and 10 lead changes, the Mountaineers got within 65-63 with 1:42 left. The Lady Tigers (2-2), coming off back-to-back losses at Hampton and Georgetown, held them scoreless the rest of the way.
Ballard made a layup and Theresa Plaisance was 4 for 4 from the free-throw line to seal the win in the FIU Thanksgiving Classic.
Leading 38-36 with 18:08 left, the Lady Tigers went cold, failing to score for more than 4 minutes. However, West Virginia (3-1) scored only six points during that span, and LSU quickly regained the lead.
West Virginia, which came in holding opponents to 49.7 points per game, was led by Taylor Palmer with 15 points. Ayana Dunning, who transferred from LSU, scored 11.

Special Circumstances
Although the process of determining a student's eligibility for Federal student aid is basically the same for all applicants, there is some flexibility.
In some cases it is necessary to take into account circumstances that might affect the amount you and your family are expected to contribute toward your education. These circumstances could include the death of a parent or spouse, extended unemployment, retirement of a parent, loss of income such as social security, or a family's unusual out-of-pocket medical expenses or private school tuition expenses.
If such conditions apply to you or your family please come by our department and meet with a counselor to ensure your special circumstances qualify for consideration and attain the required paperwork to be reviewed for this process. If you are out of town, you may also contact our office by phone or email email@example.com and if your circumstances qualify the form will be mailed to you. Be sure to include the Student ID or social security number in your email.
