Utah women's volleyball coach Beth Launiere, entering her 24th season, knew her young team would take some knocks when the Utes transitioned to the Pac-12. And the past two seasons proved her right, as they finished ninth in the high-powered conference.
The Pac-12 preseason poll placed Utah once again at No. 9.

But as the Utes — along with BYU, Utah State, Weber State, Southern Utah and Utah Valley — prepare for Friday's season opener, two things stand out.
Launiere's freshmen and sophomores are now experienced juniors and seniors.
Additionally, the team now moves full time into the Huntsman Center. Utah was 189-64 inside cozy Crimson Court. In a dry run, the Utes played Stanford last season in the Huntsman Center, losing a tight four-game match.
"We're totally 100 percent ready for it," Launiere said as the Utes prepare for the two-day Utah Classic, which includes Utah State, Northern Iowa and Fairfield. "[The move] fits the level of our program and Pac-12 volleyball. It was actually difficult to play in Crimson Court and then play in [larger] arenas on the road."
Launiere believes Utah, which finished 14-19 in 2012 — 5-15 in Pac-12 competition — will improve. Last year, her team lost five five-set matches. Experience, she says, can help the Utes win those matches and move into the Pac-12's top tier and a NCAA Tournament berth, the first since 2008.
Offseason competition is another reason to expect improvement. Senior outside hitter Morgan Odale and junior outside hitter Chelsey Schofield started for the USA A2 team during its tournament. Then there is junior right side Shelby Dalton, who had a breakout competition during the Pac-12's All-Star tour of China. She was the team's second-leading scorer.
To that list, add senior middle blocker Erin Redd-Brandon, one of six returning starters.
"There was huge difference in confidence when they came back from those [competitions]," Launiere said. "They came back with some swag."
BYU also enters 2013 with some swagger. The Cougars, who advanced to the regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament, return four starters from a team that finished last season 28-4 — 13-3 in the West Coast Conference — and was ranked 12th nationally.
BYU opens against No. 25 Creighton on Friday at Bowling Green's Hampton Inn Invitational.
The Cougars do take one hit as 6-foot-8 opposite Jennifer Hansom decided to redshirt, concentrating on basketball. But BYU returns senior middle blocker Kathryn LeChemiant, who also played for USA Volleyball this summer.
"There is no doubt that our conference will be stronger than it was last year," BYU coach Shawn Olmstead said. "But our preparation is the same as it always is."
Utah State made its last year in the WAC one for the ages. The Aggies return four starters who went 21-9 and captured the league's regular-season championship.
This season, USU enters the Mountain West and a whole new set of challenges.
"It's just an unknown going into this new conference," USU coach Grayson DuBose said. "We think we're going to be pretty good overall. We're returning a nice core group of kids."
This includes senior middle blocker Alyssa Everett, who didn't play last year due to a torn ACL. Junior middle blocker Kaitlyn VanHoff and sophomore opposite Elle Brainard were second team All-WAC selections in 2012.

I put them in the dishwasher. Every so often I spray them with Clorox Clean-up
I sure could use some help with this one. Does anyone have tips on how to clean the cuttings boards? Mine are stained and I do wash after each use.
Any help would be appreciated.
I put them in the dishwasher. Every so often I spray them with Clorox Clean-up
Soaking them in bleach water works pretty well.
I pour a bit of bleach directly onto them, they look like new, for a period of time till I use and stain them up again.
I put them in the dishwasher and when they are stained I use Soft Scrub with bleach--brush it on with the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush and then let it sit awhile til the stains fade.
Thanks for the tips. I just tried the bleach and it looks great. Not to mention the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush looks better also.
Thanks again for the help!!
My kitchen brush goes in the dishwasher every few cycles.
If they get real stained and cut up you can take an electric sander to them and make them look brand new. Use extra fine sandpaper for one minute on each side. I've done this with the old one's several times. I haven't needed to do it with the new one. But when I do I'll need to use caution around the grey edges.
I thought about doing that today after I got the stains out. I do put my cutting board and kitchen brush in the dishwasher but sometimes not all of the stains will come out. Nice to know that the bleach works.
Mine get bleached any time raw chicken touches them.

It's no secret that opposites attract. It can be very hot and sexy and steamy to date someone who is totally different than you in thought and background and attitude. Still, there always has to be a base, right? You don't want to date someone whose background is so different or whose values are so opposite that it causes a problem, right?
For one woman who wrote into the Washington Post, dating a blue collar worker who doesn't have a college level education is too much for her mom. Her mother has been downright mean to her daughter and told her that being around them disgusts her. She even made her poor boyfriend cry. In her letter to the Post, the daughter says:
I love Tom and could see us getting engaged in a year or two. However, I'm actually thinking about breaking up with him over this, although I know evil shouldn't triumph.
She's right. And she's wrong.
There is no doubt that this mom sounds like a nightmare. And personally, if I were the daughter, I would stop speaking to a mom who treated me with such disrespect. However, the mom's actions and cruelty aside, the actual structure of what she is saying isn't without merit.
The fact is, education and career path matter.
Of course there are "blue collar" workers who value education and who just didn't finish college because they really loved what they were doing. Or there are those who value education and who are 24 (like the people in the letter) who plan to go back to school later when they have more money. But even that represents a major difference in values. For many, a 4-year college after high school is simply a given. They don't live in a world where there are other options.
For many, it would have been hard to imagine dating a man without a graduate level education, let alone a Bachelor's. It isn't to say people with more education are "better," but as far as raising children is concerned, for some, education is as important to me as religion is to many. For them, marrying a man who thinks it's OK to not go to school would be akin to being a devout Christian married to an Orthodox Jew. It wouldn't work.
This mother may be going about it all wrong, but she is right about one thing. Marrying someone whose education is lower and whose prospects are limited could be a major mistake. And the fact is, the daughter herself has her mother's values, too. At the end of the letter, she says:
But I feel like he's on one side, and on the other side is my relationship with my mom AND my parents' relationship AND the potential to have it all if I meet a college-educated suitor. (I feel like a horrible person saying this.)
Clearly, she will always be wondering if she could have done better. And that is the kiss of death in any relationship.
Do you think people can overcome differences in education?

Yes, they most certaintly can! I have a B.S. in Business and a J.D. I went to college directly out of high school and then law school directly after college. My husband went to college for a semester and dropped out. And truthfully, he has always made more money than I did when I worked. He's a freelance programmer. He makes his own schedule and works where he wants. He picks and chooses his clients and turns people away regularly because he's too busy. I'm now a SAHM. We're still paying my loans off. I personally think he did the better thing! No school for him was the right answer. For me, it would have been wrong, as my family placed great importance on education. But I wish I had never gone to law school. My parents have never said a thing about his lack of education - at least not around me.
Wow, so not having a college education means you don't care about education? You don't care if your child goes to school or not? This is an extremely rude post. The mother sounds pretty horrendous but you don't sound much better. I'd rather date a wonderful, kind, loving person who makes me happy and happens to work at a blue collar job than a jerk with a college degree because in the end what matters is how I feel about the person I'm dating.
You know, if you replaced "has no college degree" with "is black", you'd be singing a completely different tune, wouldn't you? You'd be accusing that mother of being bigoted, hateful, racist, intolerant, etc. But because this guy knows what he wants, and it happens to be "work with his hands without a college degree", it's ok to discriminate and say that his "prospects are limited"?
I know a guy who has a Master's Degree, and yet he cannot support his family because he simply isn't motivated to find and keep a decent job. And I know a bunch of "blue collar" guys who have no education beyond their high school diploma (from a small-town school at that) who are doing just fine, own their own businesses, and are well able to support their wives and children.
I thought a relationship was about love, trust, caring and loyalty....not how many degrees your partner has managed to rack up.
I would rather someone to find a job that they love doing than to go to college and get a fancy degree and let the degree either go to waste or get stuck using it and hating that job.
Having a college education is great for those who want one but those who don't have one shouldn't be looked down on.

Author writes book he always soughtBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | May 07,2013
MONTPELIER The story Adam McCullough was searching for was not out there, so he decided to write it himself.
McCullough, of Montpelier, published a book last month titled The Cost of Haven. Its a fantasy set in medieval times, centering on a knight who gets fired from his job and the adventures that follow.
The novel, which McCullough plans to be the first in a three-part series, is partly autobiographical. McCullough said he started writing the book after he had been fired from a job working with youth at risk two years ago. He said there was a disagreement about how he should do his job.
It was cathartic for me, because in the book Im able to have the characters that fire me get shot by arrows, he said, laughing.
McCullough said it was challenging to write some parts of the story. In one scene, the fired knight has to give back his warhorse. McCullough said the horse represents the class he worked with at his job. Putting into words how much he cared about them and the loss he felt was difficult, he said.
Other parts of the book also draw on parts of McCulloughs life, as he said the dragons are based on his dog and the way the friends interact with each other resembles how he interacts with many of his own friends.
McCullough said he has been a fantasy novel reader since he was a child, and his father would read him The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia as bedtime stories. McCullough said he could tell that his father really enjoyed reading him the stories.
My dad passed a lot of that passion to me, he said, adding that he has been enamored of the fantasy genre ever since.
But something was missing.
As a fantasy fan, when I go to the bookstore and Im looking for a fantasy novel to buy, this (book) is what I was really looking for the whole time. It just wasnt written yet, he said.
McCullough also played Dungeons and Dragons, a role-playing board game. Playing the game helped him develop his storytelling ability, as he said he would always play the Dungeon Master the player who controls what takes place in the game.
McCullough wrote the book under the pen name F.F. McCulligan. He said he chose that name because it falls in line with the long tradition of fantasy writers using initials, such as George R.R. Martin, who wrote Game of Thrones, and J.R.R. Tolkien. McCullough said his F.F. stands for firefighter, because he is a Montpelier firefighter. McCullough said he also chose a pen name because he doesnt care for his own name.
When I meet other people named Adam I feel bad for them because its such a dumb name, he said.
McCullough has no formal training in writing or English, having earned a bachelors in conservation ecology from Sterling College. But he said he has always had a knack for spelling and grammar, and that writing has always come easy for him.
There is nothing like a blank page to me. I see a blank page, I have a pen in my hand and its a really exciting vision for me. Anything can happen. I can create whatever I want, he said.
McCullough said writing is the one thing he can do all day and not get bored.
A lot of people think of writing a book as a long, boring process, but to me its not boring at all. Its really exciting, he said. Sometimes I just ... type for hours.
The Cost of Haven can be found at Bear Pond Books and Rivendell Books in Montpelier, as well as most book retailers online and as an ebook.

Two people found shot to death in a car appear to have been killed in a murder-suicide, detectives in the Keys said Wednesday.
Jim Ovecka, 49, and Michelle Chapman, 54, were found dead Monday by a Monroe County Mosquito Control employee. Their bodies were in a running 2004 Honda Element in a wooded area of Big Pine Key.
Monroe detectives said Ovecka shot Chapman in the head before shooting himself. A hose was taped to the tailpipe and run into the car from a back window, detectives said.
The couple were from Arizona, according to their driver's licenses. Keys deputies said Ovecka and Chapman owned a restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas, and had been arrested on theft charges.
The former owners of Two Georges' Seafood Restaurant in Corpus Christi were arrested in February in Tucson on charges of defrauding customers of tens of thousands of dollars according to KRISTV.com in Texas. They were accused of making more than $200,000 in charges on diners' credit cards, according to Caller.com.

About Carolyn Nelson
We have been going to Port A for years bringing our children to the coast to enjoy the ocean environment. This is such a peaceful place to renew yourself. We wanted to be able to have a place here in Port A for our children to bring their children to experience all we have shared together.
Carolyn Nelson purchased this condo in 2011
Why Carolyn Nelson chose Port Aransas
This house is close to the beach with a tremendous view. You cannot walk to the beach from our house but these days by the time you gather your cooler, beach bags, chairs, umbrella or tent, and kids, you need a car to haul your stuff. This house has security, privacy, and beauty. It's got it all!
What makes this condo unique
You can sit on a deck on every floor in the house. You can grill the fish you caught that day! You can sit on the roof deck with a beverage and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the ocean. It doesn't get much better than this!

A little late in posting, but last weekend's Saturday Night Live was not very kind to Congressional Republicans and their opposition to the economic stimulus package.
But it does raise a couple of questions:
The first: Is Dan Ackroyd better as John Boehner than he was as Bob Dole back in the 1980s?
The second: Most of the characters being spoofed by men are recognizable figures, but who might the woman being played by Kristen Wiig be — possibly someone close to home?
And sorry about making you sit through the commercials, but this embed comes from the official NBC site.

- Wednesday, July 21, 2004
It took less than a month for every United Seven States of America and international government agency to concede that Los Angeles was not fixable. Initially the various heads and undersecretaries pointed at each other, insisting that one or another must act first before their own experts could wade in. As the foliage withered and services—particularly medical—shut down for lack of water in any form, eventually everyone reluctantly pulled out.
It was hard for the public to imagine life without water. Nothing to drink. Hardly anything to eat. Toilets wouldn't flush. People couldn't bathe. Anything and everything that in any way relied upon H2O became worthless. Thousands died. The rest, reluctantly but fast losing hope, slowly migrated elsewhere. The largest city in the world, by landmass, became a barren ghost town.
Except for people of faith. The underground became the sparse populace that had the run of the place. The endless miles of freeway pavement, once the crippled cars of the judged were moves aside, became a playground for the formerly oppressed. They had running water. Their bottles were full. Their machines had fluids and lubrication. And when they assumed control of the dead vehicle of a banished victim, it sprang back to life.
Unable to explain such a catastrophe to the populace, the government resorted to threatening to obliterate life in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. This was met with a furious outcry. What about the landmarks, the homes, the office buildings? If a cure were ever found, what would there be to return to? Was this not admitting that the majority had lost to the minority?
Worse, there were those who—given the poverty of the government's ability to explain, let alone rectify, the situation—suggested that the claim of the rebels must be true: God had sent this plague on Los Angeles because of the slaughter of innocents. And should the government compound its culpability by attempting to wipe out the rest of them, what would stop Him from expanding the scope of the disaster?
This proved the greatest nightmare for the government since religion had been banned internationally more than three and a half decades prior. The year 38 P.3. [which would have been known as 2047] was shaping up to become the year of the underground, of the rebels, of the resistance. All across the USSA, underground factions seemed to take heart from what had transpired in L.A. It was as if God had had enough of the carnage, the persecution. Secret believers came to hope that He would not abandon them, that they might grow bolder and be able to count on His protection, even His vengeance against their pursuers.
In Columbia—formerly the nation's capital—people found bearing the flat, smooth, white stone that identified them as believers were suddenly feared. While the NPO had a mandate to round them up and prosecute them—the sentence, death—private citizens suddenly quit turning them in. Rather, the populace looked the other way when they happened upon a rebel planting literature in a public place. Some even risked stealing a glance at the printed material, though none dared being caught with it on their person.
In Atlantica, where the underground carried ailanthus leaves that marked them, some in the office buildings of New York City were bold enough to establish hybrid groups made of some from one cell and the rest from others.
In Gulfland, medallions depicting the Bible were left at scenes of what otherwise might have appeared industrial sabotage. Yet officials refused to follow leads that might have pointed them to the resistance.
In Heartland, particularly in Chicago, bold rebels were actually seen wearing crown-shaped pins on their lapels in public. Yet not one was followed to a gathering place of believers.

check out this awesome Death Battle btw this isn't the full death battle it was a preview for advantage members
i think that was awesome
@Sonata: Yh its not a good sign.
Superman is gonna go sun-dip.
I think Goku should be given his Other-world body to balance it. Sun-dip is way more powerful and useful than a Senzu bean.
Senzu Bean is only useful, when your at a near death state or extremely low on energy. Goku was neither of these when he used it, but oh well.
Sun-dip and Other-world body are equal in a sense to me, considering they give Superman MORE POWER and Goku MORE RESERVES of ENERGY.
Edit: By the way that Kamehameha Goku fired at Superman in the video should have destroyed the planet. Due the angle at which it was being fired.Not if he didn't charge it up to do so (ie holding back). Controlled blasts too or the city would've been nuked with the first ki ball. Also it appears to be DC Earth. Nothing destroys DC Earth. You try. Supes knocked Bizzaro through the planet. Nothing happens. DC, along with Marvel Earth, is utterly indestructible via Plot Device.

GREAT TRUCK by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/29/2011. Trim: 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X2, Owned 4 years.
Pros: have owned this truck since new. came with the lifetime powertrain warranty. well i have 95000 miles on this 2007 slt and other than one set of tires and oil changes i have done nothing else and it runs as good or better than the day i drove it off the lot. just remembered front speakers went out, i brought it to dealer and within 30 minutes was out of there with new speakers. gas mileage could be better but it is not that mcuh worse than other brands. can easily fit 6 adults with comfort. can drive all day without feeling uncomfortable, most of all the price was really good at time of sale. getting my money worth by not having repair cost. a/c really works well.
Cons: i can honestly say i can't think of any cons on this truck.
Overall review: good overall truck that looks nice

MY Killer Dodge Ram 1500 HEMI by EvliSapper86 on 06/30/2011. Trim: 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X4, Owned 2 years.
Pros: I believe Dodge Rams are the best looking trucks on the road today, Hemi(NO Brainer) MY hemi churns out 425hp/500lbs tq, of course thats after a lil bit of money of course, but all in all I love this truck!! MOPar or no car!!!!!!!!
Cons: .....The tires that come stock,,the goodyears they put on are junk.
Overall review: I love the truck and dont ever plan to part wit it. and i love the MDS!!..lol

Awesome truck by Big Dog on 02/23/2011. Trim: 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X2, Owned 4 years.
Pros: I bought my 07 Ram new and i now have 48,000 miles on it and so far its been trouble free. I would recommend anyone buying one.
Cons: Only wish it had chrome wheels. Has alittle road noise but some of that is my rain vents i had installed.
Overall review: I would reccommend it to anyone.

itsahemi by big durbs canada on 11/28/2010. Trim: 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Quad Cab 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: very roomy inside great styling outside
Cons: poor gas mileage but i knew that with the hemi so shouldnt complain
Overall review: great truck would highly recommend
Review ID: #549854 Is this review offensive?
2007 Dodge Ram owner's review by Mark from Warsaw, Indiana on 09/25/2010. Trim: 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4X4, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Good power off the line or towing. Great paint quality. Quality trim emblems. Nice sound system.
Cons: Brake rotors wrarp eaisily. Power is mostly low end, so the large displacement is not fully utilized, and fuel economy is poor. Front ball joints are weak and mine needed replaced at only 8000 miles. There are no grease fittings on any of the steering and suspention parts.The 20 in. tires are great for dry road, useless in snow. My truck did not come equiped with antilock front brakes.
Overall review: Nice paint, interior, good handling if you put all season truck tires on it, otherwise good on dry road with the street tread Goodyear it comes with. I really like the looks of this model and if you can afford to feed it gas, the HEMI engine has good power. I put Bridgestone Duelers and some premium dimpled, slotted rotors on my Ram, and now I am happy with it. I think the newer Ram now has a little more power and a better front suspention and antilock front brakes. I bought my truck new from a Dodge dealer at the end of the model year for 30% off sticker...$26,000. So that's a great deal on a new fully equiped 4x4 in anyones book.

Lissy Trullie stripped down at Le Bain
This Wednesday the downtown 'it' girl, Lissy Trullie, will be gracing us with a special stripped down performance on the rooftop at Le Bain. This is a summer Wednesday night performance that you do not want to miss!
The event starts at 9 PM, arrive early and enjoy the free performance and some free Havaianas. Stay late and dance to the sounds of Jaime Biden, Alexandra Richards along with our weekly record player, Paul Sevigny. Expect to hear rock n roll music in every shape and form possible.
Adam Green w/ Paul Sevigny at My Favorite Party
American Singer/songwriter Adam Green is known for his stint with the Moldy Peaches, but in the new millennium he also did the solo thing. His music is a sophisticated indie-folk mix, showcasing an appealing peculiarity similar to the likes of Leonard Cohen. He's known as the "Jewish James Dean." The singer found himself with a bit more mainstream attention thanks to his duet with fellow-Moldy Peach Kimya Dawson, "Anyone Else But You," featured on the hit film Juno.
Adam will be performing this Wednesday, July 27th, at Le Bain, at The Standard, New York for our Havainas Summer Wednesdays Series. Music will be curated by Paul Sevigny, Alexandra Richards and Jaime Biden.
Party starts at 9pm. Stay tuned for upcoming performance this summer…

This is no doubt an important point, and well worth thinking what I can do about it, maybe use soya milk. One questions comes to mind, what level and in what circumstnaces does Lord Krishna protect us from sinful reactions? Yes, I guess we could al live without milk, infact I hardly drunk it before I joined the movement, but that means we also have to stop using ALL by products from milk. We are all shopping at supermakrets which sell so much meat, which means we are supporting them, in fact everywhere we shop, we are helping karmis make more money, so why sto at the milk issue? Unless and until we have sufficient communities to support our congregations, what are we to do?

Kitchens Under the Stairs
Small kitchens that work well sometimes take some design ingenuity. These kitchens under stairs are no exception:
Fitting a kitchen in under the stairs introduces a whole new layer of complexity when laying out its functions. What goes under the lowest part of the stair? What needs the coveted space with the most generous headroom?
Fitting it all in as if an intricate puzzle makes it oh so fun to study the examples above. We particularly admire the first image. The linear kitchen under the stairs has the dishwasher located at the lowest spot on the stair - an appliance at which you're generally leaning over to load/unload.
Do you see a kitchen under the stair as a great way to squeeze into an underused space or do you see it as rendering the kitchen unusable? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

My aunt and uncle have an ancient house in Milwaukee that used to have a cabinet with a secret passageway and staircase (!!!!) inside it under the stairs. As a kid, it was the coolest thing I had ever seen in a house. Sadly, they did some remodeling and had to seal it up. But it was epic in its day.
#7 (bottom center) is Thom Filicia's lake house kitchen - since it's only attributed to some random blog I thought I would point that out. I recognized it right away from a spread in Domino.
The first picture is the Federal Café in Barcelona! Love the café, one of the loveliest, most creative cafés in the city.
I think it's a neat look. I hope there's no way for floor debris to fall into the kitchen from the stairs past the landing in #7, though....
In a situation like #2 and #5, I'm worried about stove ventilation. I much prefer examples like #8 that place the stove and range hood on a full wall. Great ideas!
Lepidoptry, I lived in a four-plex with a similar design to #7, and even though I never noticed dirt from the "open" risers falling onto table or other surfaces, it still always bothered me... Lived in that apt. for two years...

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Since Judge William Coleman declared that Hattiesburg will have to hold special election for the mayoral's race, more people have registered to vote.
"We've had about 100 a day come in, they're registering," said Forrest County Circuit Clerk Lou Ellen Adams says they've been very busy.
"They come in here and they fill out the application," she said.
One of those applicants Tuesday was Austin Hembree.
"I've previously been registered in Jackson County," he said.
Hembree said there's one main reason why he's changing his voter registration now.
"The special election," he said.
Judge William Coleman declared a do-over in the mayoral election, after a mistrial.
"Since it's such short notice, it's such a narrow window for them to register," Adams said.
Anyone who wants to vote this time around must be registered 30 days before the election.
"That's state law and that's for every election," she said.
Since election day is set for September 24, Hattiesburg residents have until Monday, August 26 to register.
Adams says if you had a problem at the polls on June 4, you should also stop by the courthouse to get your information updated so that won't happen this time around.
Even though here's been a influx of people registering, that doesn't mean that they will all show up on Election Day. According to records from the June 4 election, about 26,000 people were registered to vote and only about 34 percent of people did.

Public Enforcement Letter 00-3
In the Matter of Senator Edward J. Clancy
November 14, 2000
Senator Edward J. Clancy
c/o Haskell A. Kassler, Esq.
Casner & Edwards, LLP
One Federal Street
Boston, MA 02110
Dear Senator Clancy:
As you know, the State Ethics Commission has conducted a
preliminary inquiry concerning whether you violated the state
conflict of interest law, G.L. c. 268A, by, in July 1998, as state
senator, improperly meeting with the chairman and vice chairman of
the state Board of Registration of Chiropractors ("the Board") and
seeking to influence the outcome of an adjudicatory proceeding then
pending before the Board concerning one of your constituents, a
chiropractor. Based upon the preliminary inquiry, the Commission
voted on May 22, 2000, to find that there is reasonable cause to
believe that you violated G.L. c. 268A, s.23(b)(2).
The Commission has determined that the public interest would
be best served by sending you this public enforcement letter
bringing to your attention, and to the attention of your colleagues
and the public at large, the facts revealed by the preliminary
inquiry and explaining the application of the law to those facts.
The Commission expects that this letter will ensure your
understanding of and future compliance with the conflict of
interest law. The Commission and you have agreed that there will be
no formal action against you in this matter, and you have chosen
not to exercise your right to a hearing before the Commission. By
agreeing to this public letter as a final resolution of this
matter, you do not admit to the facts and law discussed below.
I. Facts
1. You are a state senator representing the First Essex
District. You have been a state senator since 1995 and were
previously a state representative for the Tenth Essex District for
two terms. You are also an attorney and have been a sole
practitioner in Lynn for over twenty years.
2. The Board is responsible for licensing chiropractors,
regulating their professional conduct, and taking disciplinary
action against those chiropractors who fail to meet the regulatory
standards. Board disciplinary action sometimes includes an
adjudicatory proceeding to determine whether to suspend or revoke
a chiropractor's license to practice. The Board meets periodically
in Boston.
3. In September 1997, the Board, by an Order to Show Cause,
initiated an adjudicatory proceeding against a Swampscott
chiropractor for alleged violations of Board regulations. In
October 1997, the chiropractor filed an Answer to the Order to Show
Cause denying its allegations. In May 1998, the Board issued an
Amended Order to Show Cause against the chiropractor. On June 3,
1998, the prosecution moved for summary decision against the
chiropractor. On June 12, 1998, the chiropractor filed his
opposition to the motion for summary decision and moved for oral
argument on the motion and opposition. The Board scheduled the
hearing on the motion and opposition for July 29, 1998.
4. In 1998, the Board's chairman was Edward J. Barowsky and
the Board's vice-chairman was Joseph Boyle. Chairman Barowsky and
Vice Chairman Boyle were to participate in any Board decision in
the adjudicatory proceeding concerning the chiropractor.
5. Your senatorial district includes Swampscott. In late May
or early June 1998, a Swampscott businessman, whom you have known
as a fellow Lynn YMCA member for many years, told you about the
chiropractor's situation. The businessman, who told you he was good
friends with the chiropractor's parents, asked you if there was
anything you could do. You agreed to look into the situation.
Subsequently, on June 2, 199-85 the businessman sent you a copy of
the Board's Order to Show Cause concerning the chiropractor,
together with a copy of the chiropractor's resume and a handwritten
note stating in relevant part,
I realize this is short notice; however the Chiropractic board
is having a prelimenary [sic] meeting on [sic] 2:30 6/3/98
Wednesday regarding this matter. [The chiropractor] is
scheduled for adjudicatory hearing before the board on Friday
June 5, at 9:00 a.m. ... [1] [The chiropractor's] attorney is
trying to resolve this matter prior to a hearing. Any effort
on your part (i.e. telephone call or letter to the board &
members involved) will deeply be appreciated by [the
chiropractor] & myself.
6. You testified that, within two days of your first learning
of the chiropractor's situation, he telephoned you at your Lynn law
office.[2] The chiropractor told you in detail about his problem
before the Board. In short, the chiropractor told you that he had
worked for another chiropractor who was under criminal
investigation for Medicare fraud or some other fraudulent activity
involving overbilling accounts, and that the chiropractor's
signature stamp had been used in this activity. As a result, the
chiropractor had been brought in front of the Board and was facing
possible suspension or revocation of his license. You spoke with
the chiropractor by telephone on more than one occasion and you, as
you put it, "came to the conclusion that [the chiropractor] was a
sincere upright kid... [who] had just started out and got himself
into a bad situation."[3]
7. After your initial telephone conversation with the
chiropractor, you asked one of your Senate office staffers to find
out what the Board "was all about." You also had one of your Senate
staff members look in the state agency directory and obtain the
names and addresses of the Board's members. In addition, on June
23, 1998, the chiropractor faxed you a list of the Board's eight
members' names and addresses.
8. You decided that you wanted to discuss the chiropractor's
case with Board Chairman Barowsky and Vice Chairman Boyle in order
to attempt to save the chiropractor's professional career by
convincing Boyle and Barowsky that the chiropractor deserved the
Board's leniency in the pending adjudicatory proceeding. At the 984
time, you did not know either Boyle or Barowsky. Because both
Barowsky and Boyle had addresses in the Springfield area, you
decided to ask state Senator Linda Melconian, whose senatorial
district includes that area, if she knew them and, if she did, to
ask her to introduce you to Barowsky and Boyle so that you would
not have to make "cold calls" to them.
9. On or about June 25, 1998, you spoke with Melconian at the
State House and, after confirming that she knew Boyle and Barowsky,
you told her you needed to talk with Boyle and Barowsky and wanted
to meet with them. You did not tell Melconian why you wanted to
speak with Boyle and Barowsky, except to say that a constituent
matter was involved.
10. Melconian offered to set up a meeting between you and
Barowsky and Boyle. She also offered her Senate office conference
room for the meeting. According to Melconian, it is her normal
practice to set up such meetings for her Senate colleagues.
11. In late June 1998, Barowsky and Boyle each received a
telephone call from either Melconian or an aide to Melconian
requesting that they meet with Melconian and you (referred to as
"Senator Clancy'). The subject matter of the meeting was neither
inquired about nor identified. Barowsky and Boyle testified that
they assumed the meeting would relate generally to chiropractors
and insurance issues. According to their testimony, had Boyle and
Barowsky known that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss an
adjudicatory proceeding pending before the Board, they would have
declined to meet with you. Boyle and Barowsky were each told that
the other had also been invited to the meeting. Both Boyle and
Barowsky agreed to the meeting, which was arranged for noon on July
9, 1998, to fall immediately after a scheduled Board meeting for
which they would be in Boston.
12. On July 9,1998, you met Boyle and Barowsky in the
reception area of Melconian's Senate office suite, and introduced
yourself as "Senator Clancy." Neither Boyle nor Barowsky were
familiar with you. You, Boyle and Barowsky engaged in "small talk"
for a few minutes while waiting for Melconian. There was no
discussion concerning the chiropractor at this time.
13. Melconian soon entered the reception area and asked you,
Boyle and Barowsky to come into the conference room of her office
suite. Melconian thanked Boyle and Barowsky for coming, introduced
you as a "good friend" of hers, and indicated that you wanted to
talk to them. Melconian then left the conference room and did not
14. After Melconian's departure, Boyle asked, "What can we do
for you, Senator?" You then made what you called your "pitch," the
substance of which was the following:
You told Boyle and Barowsky that the chiropractor and his family
were constituents of yours and that you were anxious to have the
opportunity "to put a human face on" the chiropractor's problem
with the Board. You indicated how exemplary the chiropractor's
background was and stated that the chiropractor's parents had mad
a huge financial sacrifice to get him through school, an( that the
chiropractor still had a large amount of student loans to repay.
You stated that the chiropractor was naive and that his employer
was a "bad guy" who had clearly taken advantage of him. Finally,
you said that you hope( that the chiropractor's professional life
would not be ruined, and you asked Barowsky and Boyle to "show
mercy and not justice" and to "please not crucify" the
15. According to Boyle and Barowsky, they cut you off before
you had finished speaking on behalf of the chiropractor and
expressed to you that they could not discuss the chiropractor's
matter with you because it was pending before the Board. The
meeting then terminated.
16. You testified that neither Boyle nor Barowsky cut off your
"pitch" and that you were able to say all that you had planned to
17. On July 29, 1998, the chiropractor's matter came before
the Board for oral argument on summary judgment. At the hearing,
Barowsky and Boyle read aloud written disclosures they had made to
the governor (their appointing authority) on July 28, 1998,
concerning their meeting with you. Thereupon, the chiropractor's
attorney sought their refusal. After consulting with legal counsel,
Boyle and Barowsky did not recuse themselves. The chiropractor's
matter was ultimately resolved by a consent agreement in 1999. The
Commission is not aware of any evidence that your "pitch" to Boyle
and Barowsky had any effect upon the outcome of the chiropractor's
18. You cooperated fully with the Commission's investigation
of this matter.
II. Discussion
Legislators are often called upon by their constituents to
assist them in their dealings with state agencies. Service to
constituents to resolve difficulties in dealing with state agencies
is, in general, a legitimate and time-honored activity of
legislators. But not every service to a constituent is lawful. In
this matter, the Commission has found that there is reasonable
cause to believe that your above-described "constituent service"
for the chiropractor, your "pitch" to the Board on his behalf,
violated the conflict of interest law.
As a state senator, you are a state employee. As such, you are
subject to the conflict of interest law, G.L. c. 268A. Your
above-described actions on behalf of the chiropractor appear to
have violated s.23 of G.L. c. 268A, the "code of conduct" section
of the conflict of interest law.
Section 23(b)(2) prohibits a state employee, including a
legislator, from knowingly or with reason to know using or
attempting to use his official position to secure for himself or
others unwarranted privileges or exemptions of substantial value
which are not properly available to similarly situated
As set forth in detail above, you used your official position
to secure a private meeting with two of the future decision-makers
in the chiropractor's case in order to attempt to influence their
actions in the pending adjudicatory proceeding in a manner
favorable to the chiropractor. Thus, as a state senator, you
obtained a meeting with Boyle and Barowsky through your Senate
colleague Melconian. In addition, the meeting with Boyle and
Barowsky was set up with you as "Senator Clancy." Finally, you met
with Boyle and Barowsky and made your "pitch" to them for the
chiropractor as a state senator.
In meeting privately with Boyle and Barowsky and attempting to
influence the outcome of the adjudicatory proceeding, you went
beyond assistance that you could properly have provided to your
constituent; for example, testifying at the adjudicatory proceeding
as a character witness or providing the chiropractor with a written
character reference for submission to the Board as part of the
defense case. Instead, your private "pitch" to Boyle and Barowsky
on the chiropractor's behalf was an improper ex parte communication
concerning a pending adjudicatory proceeding. That is, while you
spoke for the chiropractor, the prosecuting counsel was neither
present nor invited to attend to advocate for the prosecution.
As an attorney, you are aware that it is fundamental to due
process that an adjudicatory proceeding be decided based upon
evidence that is offered and made part of the record of the
proceeding in the presence of the parties to the proceeding (or
their representatives), and that ex parte communications concerning
a pending adjudicatory proceeding are prohibited. Thus, the
Standard Adjudicatory Rules of Practice and Procedure, which the
Board (like many state agencies) follows, prohibit Board members
from receiving any ex parte communication concerning a Board
adjudicatory proceeding. 801 CMR s. 1.03(6)(a), formerly 801 CMR s.
1.03(10) (revised 12/25/98). Accordingly, Boyle and Barowsky would
not have met with you had they known your purpose was to make a
"pitch" in order to influence the outcome of the adjudicatory
proceeding. Nor would they have listened to your ex parte "pitch"
on the chiropractor's behalf had they known it was coming. Neither
could they nor any other Board member have properly met privately
with or listened privately to any other person wishing to make an
Page 985
ex parte "pitch" in order to influence the outcome of any
adjudicatory proceeding pending before the Board. Thus, your
"pitch" for the chiropractor, at an ex parte meeting with Boyle and
Barowsky which you obtained through the use of your position as a
state senator, was an unwarranted privilege which was not properly
available to similarly-situated persons.
Given that the chiropractor's professional license was at
stake in the adjudicatory proceeding before the Board, your effort
to influence the outcome of the proceeding was of substantial value
for the chiropractor. See In re Burke, 1985 SEC 248, 251 (access to
executives to make an insurance sales pitch was of substantial
value because it makes sales more likely). It is likely that, were
such meetings not prohibited, almost every adjudicatory proceeding
subject would seek an ex parte meeting with the decision-makers to
argue the subject's position on the merits of the case in the hopes
of influencing the outcome in the subject's favor. Thus, by making
your "pitch" for the chiropractor at an ex parte meeting with Boyle
and Barowsky, you secured for the chiropractor an unwarranted
privilege of substantial value.[6]
Accordingly, there is substantial evidence to warrant the
conclusion that you, knowingly or with reason to know, used your
position as a state senator to secure for the chiropractor an
unwarranted privilege of substantial value which was not properly
available to similarly-situated persons. Thus, there is reasonable
cause to believe that you violated s.23(b)(2).[7]
III. Disposition
Your attempt to influence the Board in the pending
adjudicatory proceeding concerning the chiropractor through an ex
parte communication posed a substantial threat to the Board's
ability to fairly and impartially resolve that case, in short to do
justice in the case. Had your "pitch" succeeded, the adjudicatory
process would have been subverted. Rather than being decided on the
merits of the evidence presented by both prosecution and defense in
a public proceeding, the case would have been decided based upon
the persuasiveness of an ex parte plea of a high ranking public
official. This was only averted by the conscientiousness of
Barowsky and Boyle.
Therefore, the facts warrant a public resolution. The
Commission decided to resolve this case with a public enforcement
letter, however, rather than imposing a fine, because there may be
some good faith confusion as to where the line is drawn between
properly zealous advocacy on behalf of a constituent and improper
communications when it comes to administrative agency adjudicatory
proceedings. The Commission has not previously addressed how s.23
applies to a legislator's efforts to assist a constituent with a
state agency adjudicatory proceeding. Section 23's application to
such constituent services should now be clear.
Based upon its review of this matter, the Commission has
determined that this public letter should be sufficient to ensure
your understanding of and future compliance with the conflict of
interest law. This matter is now closed.
[1] The June 1998 proceedings were later rescheduled.
[2] In your dealings with both the businessman and the
chiropractor you were acting in your capacity as a state senator,
and not as a private attorney. You were not compensated by either
the businessman or the chiropractor for your efforts to help the
chiropractor with the Board. You testified that you considered your
efforts on behalf of the chiropractor to be consistent with your
role as a legislator.
[3] You testified that, as of June 1998 you were familiar with
the chiropractor's family's name, but had never met the
chiropractor or his parents. You did not meet the chiropractor in
person until some time in late 1998.
[4] You testified that your version of the meeting is
supported by your daily planner, which has an entry for the meeting
marked with a check mark. According to you, the check mark means
that the meeting was routine and that had you been cut off or badly
received there would be no check mark but instead a verbal notation
such as "ouch".
[5] Although under some circumstances s.4 of G.L. c. 268A
permits legislators to appear in matters before state boards or
agencies, it does not permit them in appearing before such
agencies, to violate s.2-3(b)(2).
[6] This is true, even in the absence of any evidence that
your "pitch" in any way actually helped the chiropractor, because
the unwarranted privilege of making an ex parte argument on behalf
of the chiropractor was itself of substantial value regardless of
its ineffectiveness.
[7] It should be noted that even if circumstances had fully
prevented you from making your "pitch" on behalf of the
chiropractor at the meeting with Boyle and Barowsky, it would still
be concluded that there was reasonable cause to believe that you
violated s.23(b)(2). This is because s.23(b)(2) applies to attempts
to use one's official position to secure an unwarranted privilege
as well as to actual use. Thus, your use of your official position
to obtain the meeting with the Board meeting was sufficient, given
your intent to thereby attempt to influence the outcome of the
chiropractor's case, to place you in apparent violation of s.23

Boehner, Ryan and the art of selling out for nothin'
When future historians write of America's economic collapse and the crumbling of western civilization, the budget that just passed the House – if it is noticed at all – will be noted for marking the fourth straight decade in which Republicans agreed to increase present spending on the promise of future cuts. As we view phrenologists and witchdoctors, the future will view 21st century Republicans. Paul Ryan and John Boehner will likely be forgotten entirely. Though the names of heroes and villains often survive the centuries, charlatans, dupes and shriveled, orange, whimpering leprechauns are never remembered.
