Articulation helps DCB grads earn CIS bachelor's from VCSU
Mar 13th, 2012 @ 10:23 am | Author:
Valley City State University and Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) recently completed an articulation agreement that allows students who have completed an Associate in Applied Science degree in Information Technology from DCB to earn a Bachelor's degree with a major in Computer Information Systems (CIS) from VCSU.
Dr. Steve Shirley, president of VCSU, said, "DCB students have a solid foundation in general education and introductory CIS courses. This agreement provides these students with a direct path to a Bachelor's degree in CIS from VCSU."
DCB awards Associate in Science degrees in Computer Information Systems which involve several introductory courses in CIS as well as several general education courses. The agreement identifies a set of DCB's general education and CIS courses that will directly transfer to VCSU and apply towards a bachelor's degree in CIS from VCSU. This allows DCB students to plan their A.S. degree program with confidence that their coursework will apply towards a bachelor's degree and allow them to transfer to VCSU with Junior year standing.
The agreement also identifies the VCSU courses that these students need to complete in their Junior and Senior years in order to earn their bachelor's degree in CIS from VCSU. Students may elect to complete their Junior year without leaving Bottineau but are required to attend courses on the VCSU campus for the final two semesters of study.
VCSU's CIS majors graduate with a combination of business and information technology skills specifically designed to meet the needs of today's information-driven businesses. The curriculum meets standards defined by IS 2010 and emphasizes hands-on experience with technologies from leading vendors including SAP, Oracle, Adobe and Microsoft.
The CIS articulation joins other collaborative arrangements between the two campuses including opportunities for students to earn DCB Associate degrees or nursing titles (Practical Nurse or Associate Degree in Nursing) by taking classes at the VCSU campus.
Valley City State University (VCSU) prepares people for life through visionary leadership and exemplary practices in teaching, learning and service. VCSU is nationally acclaimed for attracting and retaining talented individuals who advance quality learning opportunities and economic growth through technology and innovation.

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. (9/18/10) – Senior Jay Gwaltney rushed for over 100 yards and added a 54-yard touchdown reception and junior Jamahl Williams had a pair of interceptions to lead the Kean University football team to a 27-9 win over Morrisville State College in New Jersey Athletic Conference action.
After falling to NJAC preseason favorite SUNY Cortland a week ago to open the season, the Cougars (1-1. 1-1 NJAC) rebounded by jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Mustangs (0-2, 0-1 NJAC) scored nine points in the third quarter to pull within 17-9, however Kean closed out the win with 10 points in the final stanza.
Junior quarterback Thomas D'Ambrisi opened the scoring on the Cougars' first drive of the game, scampering for the nine-yard touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead six minutes into the game. After getting the ball at their own 40-yard line to open the game when the opening kickoff went out-of-bounds, D'Ambrisi completed 3-of-4 passes for 37 yards, including a 20-yard strike to junior Chris Suozzo, and Gwaltney carried the ball six times for 19 yards, before D'Ambrisi finished the drive with the touchdown run
Late in the quarter, Willliams made his first interception of the year count, returning the ball 32-yards for the touchdown with 27 seconds remaining in the quarter, as the Cougars extended the lead to 14-0 following the extra point.
After a scoreless second quarter of play, the Mustangs got on the board in the third quarter when punter Peter Mars pinned the Cougars at their own two-yard line and sophomore linebacker Enrique Robinson tackled Gwaltney in the end zone on the first play of the drive for the two-point safety.
On the ensuing Morrisville State drive, Kean senior cornerback Chris Lauda intercepted the ball in Kean territory and the Cougars would score on the subsequent possession, as kicker Billy Daniels booted the 29-yard field goal to extend the lead to 17-2 with 6:50 remaining in the quarter.
Morrisville State answered right back after the kickoff went out-of-bounds, giving the Mustangs excellent field position at their own 40-yard line. The Mustangs then took advantage of three Kean penalties, the last of which set-up first and goal at the one-yard line, and after the Cougars held on first down, senior Joe Shue completed the one-yard pass to senior fullback Sean Barrett and the Mustangs pulled to within 17-9 with 3:27 left in the quarter after the extra point.
The Mustangs then caught a break on the Cougars' next possession, when defensive tackle David Williams forced the fumble on the Cougars' first play of the drive and junior Anthony Brown recovered the ball. After a Mustang penalty moved the ball back across midfield and into Morrisville State territory, the Mustangs moved the ball down to the Kean 25-yard line before turning the ball over on downs on fourth-and-8 with 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Kean opened the fourth quarter with a scoring drive, as back-up quarterback Anthony Giordano completed 3-of-5 passes for 18 yards and Gwaltney carried the ball five times for 39 yards before Daniels kicked his second field goal of the day, this time good from 32-yards out for the 20-9 lead with 9:49 left in the game.
The two teams traded turnovers on each of their next possessions and the Cougars forced the Mustangs into a three-and-out to set up the final scoring drive of the game. Opening the drive on their own 43-yard line, Giordano and Gwaltney connected on the 54-yard touchdown on the third play of the drive to extend the lead to 27-9 following the extra point.
Gwaltney carried the ball 25 times for 108 yards rushing, while also adding three receptions for 59 yards and one touchdown. Suozzo made a team-high five receptions for 47 yards and completed one pass for 34 yards.
D'Ambrisi completed 8-of-14 passes for 67 yards in the first half, while Giordano finished with six completions for 91 yards.
Defensively, rookie linebacker Jerelle Peay led the Cougars in tackles for the second straight game, finishing with seven tackles, including 1.5 tackles for a seven yard loss. The Cougars made five interceptions in the game, as Williams picked off the Mustangs twice and Lauda, junior Bekim Bujari and senior Andre Dozier each added interceptions.
For the Mustangs, Shue completed 11-of-26 passes fpr 96 yards, as Kyle Gordon and Maurice Mitchell each had three receptions.
Brown made a game-high 12 tackles and recovered one fumble, while Robinson added eight tackles, two tackles for a loss and one fumble recovery.
The Cougars remain on the road in New York, taking on Buffalo State College on Saturday, September 25, at Noon.

Moving Away at the NID Gandhinagar, partly presented in Hangzhou (China) with the same title, and thereafter at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) Delhi, brings diverse Bauhaus genealogies together in an exhibition for the first time. Through a series of case studies it becomes possible to compare different responses to the Bauhaus, filtered through cultural translation and grounded in the conditions of a particular locality. This exhibition includes material from the NID archives, exhibited for the first time, to illuminate the story of design education and its pedagogy in India. These historical roots are important to visit at a time when design education in the country is growing at a fast pace.

Starbucks Tea Lattes are made from a soothing combination of steamed milk and Tazo tea and are available in three new varieties:
Black Tea Latte, a bold, invigorating combination of black tea and freshly steamed milk;
Vanilla Rooibos Latte, a naturally caffeine-free infusion of botanicals that unites South African rooibos (ROY'-bus), Tahitian vanilla, sweet spices and freshly steamed milk;
London Fog Latte, an intriguing blend of black tea, citrusy bergamot, French lavender, vanilla and freshly steamed milk.
Customers seeking a calcium boost can enjoy a new tea latte this winter, as a tall size offering contains 20 percent of the recommended daily calcium intake.
Starbucks Tazo Tea Infusions are the perfect winter pick-me-up. A handcrafted combination of premium Tazo black chai tea lightly steamed with fruit juices, these non-dairy beverages are available in two varieties:
Berry Chai Infusion, a blend of aronia berry and black currant juices steamed with black tea and sweet, exotic spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves;
Apple Chai Infusion, a blend of apple juice steamed with black tea and sweet spices.

Monday Deadliest Day in Chicago Since 2003: Report
Paper's analysis of police data shows the beginning of the week had most recorded homicides in more than a decade
Nineteen people were shot, including 10-year-old Tavon Tanner, in Chicago on Monday, making it the deadliest single day in a little more than a decade according to the Chicago Tribune.
The paper reported the first day of the week held the most homicides, nine, in a single day since July 5, 2003, which saw 10 homicides.
Authorities say Tavon was with his mother and aunt around 10:15 p.m. Monday outside their home in the 3900 block of West Polk in the city's Garfield Park neighborhood when at least five gunshots rang out, and he was struck in the lower back.
U.S. & World
The boy's mother, Mellanie Washington, told NBC 5 she knew Chicago had a problem with gun violence, but she never thought a bullet would hit her child.
"All I saw was Tavon hit the floor," Washington said.
He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, according to police.
On Tuesday morning Washington said her son was out of surgery and recovering after one bullet tore through his kidney, pancreas, intestines and spleen.
Doctors say he has a long road ahead, but the family is trying to stay strong for Tavon, who was set to be entering the fifth grade. No one is in custody as police continue to investigate the shooting.
The Tribune reported that before Tavon was shot, it was still light out, and his family heard gun shots down the street. A man in his 20s at a basketball court Tavon was reportedly not allowed to play was shot in the head, and two hours later another man was shot to death about four blocks away.
Tavon was shot less than an hour later, the Tribune reported.
Tribune data shows more than 2,500 people shot in Chicago this year with 426 homicides, a level of violence the paper says was unparalleled since the 1990s.
While Tavon's family waited outside Mount Sinai where he underwent almost four hours of surgery, another shooting victim's family was also grieving just down the street, the paper reported.

Chapter 4 - Safe Driving Rules & RegulationsAdded March 26, 2009MOVE OVER FOR STATIONARY EMERGENCY AND OTHER SERVICE VEHICLESAs of January 27, 2009, New Jersey's "Move Over" law requires that all motorists approaching a stationary, authorized emergency vehicle, tow truck, highway maintenance or other emergency service vehicle that is displaying a flashing, blinking or alternating red, blue, amber or yellow light or, any configuration of lights containing one of these colors, must change lanes, safety and traffic conditions permitting, into a lane not adjacent to the authorized vehicle. If a lane change is impossible, prohibited by law or unsafe, the motorist must reduce the speed of his/her vehicle to a reasonable and proper speed that is lower than the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop, if necessary. Motorists who violate this law face a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500. (C.39:4-92.2 and 39:3-84.6)
Governor Signs Move Over Law
Governor Jon Corzine signed the Move Over bill, S-180, on January 27th and it became P.L.2009, c.5. This law requires motor vehicle operators to reduce the speed of their vehicles and change lanes when approaching an authorized emergency vehicle, that is displaying flashing, blinking, or alternating red and/or blue emergency lights. Drivers can be fined up to $500 if they don't veer away from police and other emergency vehicles on the shoulder of roadways. New Jersey joins more then 40 states in enacting the law.
You should consider posting messages on the announcement board outside your Station. Delaware has signs that read, "Move Over or Reduce Speed for Stopped Emergency or Maintenance Vehicles." Another suggestion, "Move over, slow down, pass by us cautiously." Possible add, "It's the Law.

The name Bonamassa apparently means 'good oracle, the shape of things to come'. Well, at least to some etymology geek I Googled.
And I think that quite neatly sums up this affable and unassuming New Yorker who, clad in orange suit, shirt, tie and sunglasses, looked more like an extra in Duran Duran's Rio video than the best rock/blues guitarist in the world he arguably is.
FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD: For a free Joe Bonamassa album download, latest news, tour dates, tickets and more visit jbonamassa.com.
Despite being on the UK scene for some time, he is mainly adored by his ardent followers and is not exactly a household name - a fact highlighted by an audience occupying probably only a third of the city's largest concert venue.
But by this showing I think that could soon change. Just like his oft-compared peers, the late Gary Moore and the legendary Eric Clapton, not only is this 39-year-old a fretboard genius, but he has a good voice to boot.
And many of his most recent songs have an edginess to them, with unexpected and delightful chord and harmony structures. It is this move from traditional blues which could propel Bonamassa to greater appeal and acclaim in my opinion.
Having said all that, here is a Bona-fida guitar god. It is often indiscernible where this man's fingers end and the guitar begins. Every stretched and vibrato-caressed string, each feedback-controlled nuance, every on-and-off hammered note is imbued with a feeling and passion unashamedly betrayed by his quivering and tortured facial expressions.
Nevertheless every band member is given the chance to show off their fine pedigrees, with Joe magnanimously disappearing into the shadows as his line-up - Michael Rhodes on bass, Anton Fig on drums, Reese Wynans on keys, trumpeter Lee Thornburg , saxophonist Paulie Cerra and backing singers Jade Macrae and Mahalia Barnes - enjoy their moment in the spotlight.
An excellent set, featuring mostly self-penned compositions, but some covers thrown in including Led Zep's Boogie with Stu and rock classic Hummingbird, made for a fantastic evening's entertainment.
The stage moving considerably farther back into the Arena will surely be the shape of things to come when Joe Bonamassa's back in town.

Elementary school children who perform acts of kindness are happier and more likely to be accepted by their peers, according to a new study by researchers at the University of British Columbia and the University of California-Riverside.
The four-week study looked at 400 students aged 9 to 11 from Vancouver elementary schools, half of whom were asked by their teacher to perform three acts of kindness such as sharing their lunch and hugging their mothers. The other half were asked to keep track of pleasant places they visited. Both groups then rated their own happiness level and were asked to pick out other students they would like to work with on a school activity.
Both groups reported that their happiness levels increased over four weeks. However, those who performed acts of kindness were more likely to be chosen to participate in a peer activity group than those who simply visited happy places.
The study suggests that children who are kind to others, rather than bullies, may be more popular in school and are more likely to be accepted by their peers, the researchers said.
BOTTOM LINE: Elementary school children who perform acts of kindness are happier and more likely to be accepted by their peers.
CAUTIONS: The study looked at a group of students in one city so the results may not apply to a wider group of children.

US cancer screening rates dropped over last decade, study finds
Fewer Americans are getting screened for cancer, and it may be due to confusion over conflicting cancer screening recommendations among different organizations, a new study suggests.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, analyzed data from the US National Health Interview Survey of nearly 175,000 Americans between 1997 and 2010 who were screened for colorectal, breast, cervical, and prostate cancers. Nearly 7,500 of the participants were cancer survivors.
Besides colorectal cancer screenings, most Americans, including cancer survivors, did not meet the recommended cancer screening goals set by the US government's national disease prevention initiative "Healthy People 2010," the study found.
In general, cancer survivors had higher screening rates than the general population. However, the study found that the number of screenings among cancer survivors dropped over the last three years, and cervical cancer screening rates among survivors dropped 78 percent over the decade.
Recommendations differ among different groups including the American Cancer Society and the US Preventative Task Force in terms of the frequency of screenings and the appropriate age for routine tests, which may confuse many people about whether they should undergo screening at all, the researchers said.
BOTTOM LINE: Fewer Americans are getting screened for cancer, and it may be due to confusion over conflicting cancer screening recommendations among different organizations.
CAUTIONS: The study relied on responses from a survey rather than medical records to confirm actual screening frequency. As a result, the findings may overestimate or underestimate the rate of cancer screenings.

The best drinks for preschoolers — and for kids of all ages — are milk and water. Whenever possible, discourage your kids from drinking soda and other sugary, calorie-dense drinks as thirst-quenchers because water or milk will do the job just as well.
Preschoolers should have 2 to 21/2 cups (480-360 milliliters) of low-fat or nonfat milk (or equivalent dairy products) every day.
Now is the time to get kids into the habit of drinking milk so they can get bone-building calcium and vitamin D and other important nutrients they need. Limit flavored milks, but if you do serve it, avoid premixed chocolate or strawberry drinks, which often contain considerably more calories, sugar, and fat than milk you flavor yourself. For kids who don't drink milk, calcium-fortified soy milk is a good alternative.
Avoid juice drinks and limit 100% juice — which has a significant amount of sugar — to no more than one serving, about 4-6 ounces (120-180 milliliters) a day. Too much juice can contribute to excess weight gain, diarrhea, and tooth decay.
Many kids like cola and other soft drinks, but these have no nutritional value and are high in sugar. One study found that more than 1 out of 3 preschoolers drank soda on the day before the survey. On average, the kids drank over 8 ounces of soda or sugar-sweetened fruit drink, but only drank 12 ounces of milk, which is less than the recommended 16-20 ounces a day.
Kids may be less likely to drink enough milk if soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages are available. Besides calcium, milk offers other important nutrients, including vitamin D, potassium, and protein.
Drinking soda and other sugary beverages has been linked to excessive weight gain and other problems, including tooth decay. And kids tend to drink increasing amounts as they get older.
In addition to calories and sugar, soda often contains caffeine, which can have negative effects on kids. Most parents wouldn't dream of giving a preschooler a cup of coffee, but might routinely serve cola and other drinks containing caffeine. For kids, the effects of caffeine are similar to those seen in adults.
Too much caffeine can cause:
To avoid giving kids too much caffeine, read nutrition labels on food and drinks. And don't forget about the caffeine found in chocolate, coffee ice cream, and iced tea drinks.
Although the United States has not adopted guidelines for caffeine consumption in kids, Canadian guidelines recommend that preschoolers have no more than 45 milligrams of caffeine a day. This is the average amount in a 12-ounce (360-milliliter) can of cola or a 6-ounce (45-gram) milk chocolate bar.
Water is a caffeine-free, zero-calorie thirst quencher and milk has nutrients to help kids grow up strong. Limit the empty calorie drinks you serve, and teach your kids that water and milk are the best drinks for them.

Alternating current (ac) loop impedance testing, a testing procedure long-established in Europe, is only recently beginning to find its way into U.S. practice. Best known as "loop testing," it addresses the rapidly expanding development and deployment of increasingly sophisticated electronic equipment, which places greater demands on instrumentation and testing capabilities.
Loop testing is a quick, convenient, and highly specific method of evaluating an electrical circuit for its ability to engage protective devices (circuit breakers, fuses, GFCIs). It has been mandated in Europe but overlooked in the United States because it isn't required.
A "loop" is not the same as a circuit. A circuit conforms to a design, whereas a loop may define itself by including unsuspected elements where current has found parallel paths to ground. Because a ground loop determines the effectiveness of protective devices, it is crucial to be able to measure it, in order to detect and correct problems.
Picture a ground-fault loop as follows: A fault occurs, current travels through the grounding conductor back to the service, then down the ground connector to the ground rod or grid, and into the soil. Parallel paths then exist through the soil and the grounded neutral conductor back to the supply transformer; the transformer winding and phase conductor back to the point of the fault complete the loop (Fig. 1). In order for protective devices to function properly, this loop must be of sufficiently low impedance to allow enough current to flow to activate the devices. High impedance can render protective devices useless by reducing current flow to less than is required to activate the fuse or breaker. The faulty circuit will remain energized, resulting in damage, fire, and even fatal shocks.
Various codes have set requirements without specifically mandating a test procedure. The National Electric Code, Section 250-51, requires the ground path to be sufficient to facilitate the operation of protective devices. This is most commonly implemented by use of calculations, such as point-to-point or unit methods.
Calculations are time-consuming, rare-ly performed by non-engineers, and can be done incorrectly. It becomes simpler to take shortcuts by merely assigning a circuit design that has worked in the past. Even when faithfully employed, calculations are subject to inherent errors. It is difficult to consider the entire circuit length, including branch and feeder, to the transformer. And two return paths exist in parallel between the facility and the transformer: utility neutral and earth return from the ground electrode at the service entrance. Accurate calculation of these parallel paths is difficult, and typically not done.
Yet these paths may contribute significantly to the total current in an actual fault condition. Even conductors sized according to NEC Table 250-95, while affording basic protection, can develop excessive impedance in a long circuit-and not accommodate protective devices.
The ready solution for avoiding these potential errors is to perform an impedance test. New technology permits the reading of total impedance in a given circuit exactly. U.S. Electrical workers are already familiar with the correlative concept of voltage drop. NEC Section 210-19 recommends no more than a 5% voltage drop due to impedance on a given circuit. Unsuspected parallel grounds, in addition to increasing fault currents, can reduce voltage drop on the circuit and mask high impedance. Various methods, both specific and jury-rigged, are used to determine voltage drop. But loop testers are the most accurate means of measuring impedance because they include actual circuit conditions, taking into account temperature and lost currents traveling in parallel paths.
A loop impedance tester is a marked advancement over more time-consuming and error-prone methods. In a few seconds, it gives an accurate measurement that assesses all factors that contribute to actual performance of protective devices in a fault condition. It does this by simulating a fault from "hot" to ground (ground fault) or from hot to neutral (short circuit). The tester first measures the unloaded voltage, then connects a known resistance between the conductors, thereby simulating a fault. The voltage drop is measured across the known resistor, in series with the loop, and the proportion of the supply voltage that appears across the resistor will be dependent on the impedance of the loop (Fig. 2). Speed is the key to a successful measurement. The tester completes the measurement in two half-cycles of the main supply (16 milliseconds at 60 Hz), in which protective devices do not have time to react.
An indispensable corollary measurement also performed by a loop tester is that of Prospective Short Circuit Current (PSCC). This is the maximum short circuit current that could flow in event of a fault. It is necessary information for the correct sizing of protective devices, according to NEC Sections 110-9 and 110-10, so that they are not dangerously sacrificed when called on line. The maximum point of test for PSCC is at the service entrance, while impedance is best tested at the farthest point from the incoming supply. A quick table reference indicates if impedance is sufficiently low (see Table 1), and sizes the breaker (see Table 2).
Loop impedance testing reduces a complex process, fraught with uncertainty, to a reliable task completed in minutes.

Missing 14-year-old returned home
Three days after a 14-year-old Beaumont Independent School District student was reported missing from the Ozen High School campus, her mother reports the child is now home.
Shavoner Wilson told The Examiner she found her daughter, 14-year-old daughter, Marchelle Washington, Friday, Nov. 30, with the help of a neighborhood informant. Washington had been missing since Nov. 27.
The BISD Police Department was the sole agency investigating the girl's vanishing because the child was last seen at the school, although the district did not admit responsibility for the teen absconding. BISD spokesman Ron Reynolds acknowledged that the BISD PD was looking for Wilson's daughter, but could offer no further details at the time.
"The Beaumont Independent School District is concerned for the safety of all students and staff," Reynolds said. "BISD's police department is taking steps and working with other law enforcement agencies to help ensure the safe return of this student who has been reported missing."
Reynolds said he could offer no further information as to how the student left BISD's supervision. A report filed at the BISD PD at noon on Tuesday only states, "The student left Ozen and never went home."

It's here! The day has come when I have to put together my post to audition for the Graphic 45 Design Team 2012! I have been on the team for two years, and you would think I'd not be nervous! I love being on this team! It's one of the best experiences I've ever had as part of a design team. Honest. I'm not just saying that! I don't want to leave! Ever!
The current team was told that starting this year, we could only apply for two years in a row. The fact that Graphic 45 is allowing Jane and me to apply for a third year, as a courtesy, is mind blowing! I am anxious and....well...
Here is my submission for the 2012 team!
This is the layout that I submitted to Spellbinders last year as my final 2011 design team contest project. I emailed them today and asked (begged) to be allowed to share it on my blog. I used all Graphic 45 papers and love how the layout turned out. It's never been shown before, but Spellbinders has given me permission to show it on my blog.
I love all the layers and textures of this project. I am very proud of it and am pleased to share it today! Below are a few close-ups.
The layout was part of an ensemble, so here is a photo of the matching card.
The next layout was one I made for Summer CHA, using An ABC Primer papers. I love the photo of my mother-in-law and think this layout displays the photo perfectly.
I made this mini and altered box for Summer CHA. I've also done a tutorial for making it. Check my tutorials tab at the top of the blog.
I created this project to show how to alter Graphic 45 Metal Staples. It now sits on a shelf in my entry way. Love it! Love it lots!
I created this next frame for Hampton Art Stamps, Winter 2012 CHA. I hand colored and cut all those little bottles. (Olde Curiosity Shoppe stamps) My family loved this frame and were sad when I had to mail it off to CHA!
Last, but not least...cards! It was hard to pick the cards I wanted to showcase here. I've done so many! There are some I love so much. There were a few I could not show since they are for upcoming Graphic 45 Blog posts, a few use items that I cannot promote due to another design contract...so these are the cards I chose...
I know you've seen this one a few times here on the blog. But it remains one of my favorite cards, ever. I love everything about it!
I also wanted to show some things I had done with Graphic 45 stamps, Decades inks, and Copic Markers. I am pretty versatile, and wanted to remind the "voting committee" of that! {grin}
I created this card for Winter 2012 CHA, for a demo board I made.
And last, this is a tag I made last winter. I ended up recreating (in a more simple style) it for all Archivers stores!
Well, that's my submission! I hope it's enough to show that I love Graphic 45 papers...and I know how to use them!

Aspen Fashion Week canceled; Denver business plans 2014 shows
Denver talent agent Brooke Fogg said Thursday she is starting Aspen International Fashion Week, with the first run of the event set for Feb. 27-March 2, 2014.
Fogg's announcement comes on the heels of the cancellation of Aspen Fashion Week, which was scheduled for this week. Directed for the previous four years by Lisa Johnson of Aspen, the event featured parties, retail events and après-ski fashion shows from such companies as Sport Obermeyer, Kjus, Skea, Neve and Snowsports Industries America. Presenting partners, according the the Aspen Fashion Week website, included Bentley as well as the Wall Street Journal and Stoli vodka. (The website has a "save the date" message for March 10-13, but doesn't appear to have been updated for many months, nor have its Facebook page or Twitter accounts).
Fogg said that Johnson last year booked 19 Wilhelmina Denver models to walk in four days of shows but never paid for the talent. The agency is owed more than $30,000 in fees, Fogg says, adding that she has filed a lawsuit against Johnson in Pitkin Country District Court but has been unable to collect the money.
Fogg's lawyer Michael P. Barry, of ALG Attorneys in Denver, said he filed a breach-of-contract suit against Johnson for unpaid services in October, "but it turned out to be difficult to serve her with papers." Process servers and investigators were unable to find Johnson, Barry said, despite the fact that "we've been thorough in our search."
Johnson "has essentially abandoned the event as well as her related business entities," Fogg stated in her press release. Johnson could not be reached for comment.
While Fogg hasn't been able to recover her expenses, she said the idea of winter fashion shows in the upscale resort town remains viable. She wants to add an international twist by attracting more European designers. "The event itself should not be tarnished by the poor business practices she showed," Fogg said in a phone interview.
"I've done national events marketing and have produced events for large national brands. That has always been in my wheelhouse, and now with the combination of Wilhelmina and my marketing agency, I feel it should go on," Fogg said. "I hope we can take a negative situation and have it benefit the talent and the town of Aspen."
The 2014 event will feature fashion shows and parties as well as "musical, tech industry, food, sustainability and healthy lifestyle tie-ins," she said.
Paul and Williams, a public relations agency that has represented Aspen Fashion Week, did not respond to e-mails and telephone calls for information Thursday and Friday. The Aspen Daily News on Feb. 19 reported that a spokesperson for Paul and Williams confirmed that the event would not occur this year and referred questions to Johnson. The Daily News said an auto-reply on Johnson's e-mail says "she is on maternity leave 'with very limited availability.'"

When we debuted a completely redesigned Scouting magazine last summer, we wanted readers to notice the easier-to-use design and more accessible content.
A year later, we're happy to learn that readers weren't the only ones who noticed our new look.
Scouting magazine was recognized with seven awards in a variety of categories. If you don't mind us tooting our own horn for a second, here's a look at the winners:
Association of Educational Publishers Distinguished Achievement Awards
"Fat Chance," the eye-opening story about obesity in our September-October issue, won two awards: Article Design and Feature Article. You can read the story, written by Mary Jacobs, on our Web site. But to see the design in its original form, you'll want to find your September-October 2009 issue and turn to Page 45.
We also won the award for Most Improved in recognition of our cover-to-cover redesign.
Association Media and Publishing Excel Awards
Scouting magazine picked up Gold awards for Most Improved: Whole Magazine and Feature Story Design for "Fat Chance." We were also honored with a Silver award for General Excellence among magazines with a circulation over 100,000.
Western Publishing Association Maggie Awards
At this ceremony, we won for Best Special Interest/Trade publication.
Congratulations to the entire Scouting magazine editorial, design, photography, and production team for their hard work that led to these awards.

The Chestnut Hill Community Association board has unanimously adopted the community development agreement for the former Magarity Ford site at 8200 Germantown Ave. that was created after negotiations between Bowman Properties, the developer, and a "negotiating subcommittee" led by Joyce Lenhardt, vice president of the CHCA's physical division. That agreement, formally titled the "Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions," is a carefully crafted, binding legal document that took months to produce. The board approved and ratified the CHCA's entry into the agreement with Bowman Properties at its May 24 meeting. A complete copy of the agreement was made available to board members but not the public.
The new agreement includes a number of negotiated concessions, including an enhanced setback from Hartwell Lane, an increased setback of upper residential stories from the Avenue and others regarding parking, hours of operation and design elements of a row of homes on Shawnee Street. It also includes language that will allow nearby residents to form an organization to enforce the agreement in the event that the CHCA does not. A number of nearby residents promised to challenge Bowman and the City of Philadelphia over special zoning legislation the developer received for the parcel. Those neighbors agreed not to file suit under the new agreement.
One question was posed by new board member Tom Cullen, who asked Snowden about a reference to the "Adjacent Neighbors Association," which is referred to under the Enforcement of Rights section of the covenant. "Does this association exist?" he asked.
"It's sort of like Brigadoon, it only exists for this project," Snowden said, referring to the titular mythical town from the Lerner and Loewe musical.
Snowden identified the group of neighbors as the same group that retained counsel last fall during the initial project approval process. He said Bowman has come to an agreement with the Adjacent Neighbors Association and that the members of that group have signed on to the agreement. Snowden said the adjacent neighbors had concerns that transcended the original conversations with the CHCA board, and that all concerns have now been ironed out and the compromises incorporated into the covenant. Cullen expressed his concern that the language of the covenant excluded future organizations from having a say about the project because of a clause in the agreement that seemed to require neighbor associations to "register in writing with the association identifying its members within 90 days after the effective date of the agreement." "Doesn't this limit to a 90-day window the ability of the neighbors to have a say in the project?" Cullen asked.
"I think it refers to the neighbors association that we settled with," Snowden said. "You can't stop people from forming organizations."
Pat Pregmon, counsel for the CHCA, was asked by board member Mark Keintz what the CHCA's responsibilities were. Pregmon told him that it was up to the CHCA to act with "reasonable prudence" in reviewing the two submissions that Bowman properties will submit.
One is the land development plan now under review by the Land Use Planning and Zoning committee and another submission will follow later this year. After the vote, Snowden thanked the board for the consideration that it has given the project.
New CHCA president Jane Piotrowski, president of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, ended her one-year term Thursday night with a tearful farewell address in which she thanked board members and community association staff for their continued service.
Incoming president Brien Tilley thanked Piotrowski for "all that she's done and all that she'll continue to do," as well as the board for their vote of confidence in him. Tilley said that rather than talk about change, he hopes that his tenure as community association president will see issues addressed with the same "dignity and grace" that has become the standard operating procedure of the board. He added that he would like more residents of Chestnut Hill to know about the community association and all of its good work.
"I'd like to make it a point to focus our efforts to create a real brand awareness," he said. "[The people of Chestnut Hill] need to know the good work that gets done."
Tilley also promised to preside over "efficient, respectful meetings" and proposed moving the start time of board meetings to 7:30 p.m. instead of 7.
Board member Mike Chomentowski responded with some skepticism, saying the Library would not remain available for meetings past the current closing time of 9 p.m. He questioned whether the board could dispense with all necessary business in 90 minutes. Tilley responded that less time would motivate the board to complete business more efficiently. To that end, the board approved a provisional change in start time to 7:30 p.m. Other actions
• Piotrowski welcomed new board members Tom Cullen, Michelle Lordi, Laura Lucas, and Tony Reilly.
• A hearing has been scheduled before the Philadelphia City Planning Commission on June 12 regarding the issue of "registered community organizations" (or RCOs) and how the inclusion of language in the new zoning code will impact the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Physical Division committees and their review process for new projects. Joyce Lenhardt, John Landis, and Larry McEwen will represent the CHCA at this meeting, which is scheduled for 1 p.m. on the 18th floor Conference Room of the One Parkway Building at 1515 Arch St. The hearing is open to the public.
• Community Manager Celeste Hardester reported that membership in the community association is up and now stands at 1,655 members. She also said renovations to the first floor of Town Hall are nearly complete.

Danny, here! Have you noticed how we, as a nation, increasingly talk past each other? So, hang with me here while I make my case for why.
We are trying to accommodate two fundamentally incompatible and opposite moral codes: a Judeo-Christian code and a Marxist-Progressive code. We on the Judeo-Christian side of the equation make the mistaken assumption, when we appeal to terms such as "good", "evil", "right", "wrong", that these words mean the same thing to our audience. For many (most?), they don't. Unfortunately, the Marxist-Progressive code has been ascendant in the U.S. since the late 19th Century (even among conservatives), whereas the Judeo-Christian code has been in decline. Most people today flounder to resolve their world perceptions in the penumbra between these two completely different and opposite moral codes: hence, the confusion. So we need to understand the "why" of this divide.
The Judeo-Christian code, buttressed by deep roots into Ancient Greek moral philosophy, is an ethos that emphasizes the singular worth of every individual and accountability to a higher power (God). This person-centered moral code views each individual as an agent of their own destiny with the capacity and responsibility to choose between right and wrong and to suffer consequences of their actions. We may or may not buy into this individually, but this ethos still defines much of our national character.
The Marxist-Progressive code, which began in the 1700s, rejects Judeo-Christian definitions of "good" or "evil", "right" and "wrong", "virtue" and "character": in the Marxist-Progressive world view, such term are largely meaningless. Instead, their moral code breaks down as follows:
Materialism: there is a militant emphasis on wealth and power. Right and wrong, despair and happiness are usually defined by the degree of people's access to "stuff". What matters not is how much stuff one has, but how much one has relative to others. Witness their approach to poverty: whereas Judeo-Christians emphasize the virtues of thrift and industry and decry materialism, Marxist-Progressive solutions to society's ills (think social justice) inevitably revolve around reapportioning stuff from disfavored groups to others. Ditto for foreign affairs.
Collectivism: Their code defines humanity not as individuals but in terms of group memberships. Individuals are no longer held responsible for their individual decisions but are forever fated by their group identities. These groups are arranged hierarchically of easy-to-apply labels, such as religion, race, ethnicity and wealth. For example, if you are black, you are by definition poor and oppressed by white people. Thus does the Ivy League-degreed daughter of a wealthy black dentist in Washington, DC trump victimhood status over the GRE-holding son of an out-of-work, Appalachian coal miner. Heck, even Oprah Winfrey can still claim victimhood status. But not if you are a white cop trying to preserve law and order in a black community. Collectivist labels don't work, of course. When labels overlap and conflict, great confusion: witness the hilarious force-fit of terms like "white Hispanic" in the Trayvon Martin affair.
Power structure: Finally, this code arranges society into three different umbrella classes: the oppressed, the oppressors and (wait for it…tad da!) The Champions of the Oppressed…let's call them COOPs. The COOPs represent a self-anointed Brahmin class that encompasses the Liberal-Progressive elites. Membership in the COOP class is cheap: whereas oppressors and the oppressed easily fit under the collectivist labels described above, all one needs to do to qualify as a COOP is to publicly espouse the Marxist-Progressive Creed and donate to the right party. Understand, one doesn't have to live the Creed or actually sacrifice any thing…one needs only to talk the talk. COOP membership serves as a writ of absolution for all individual actions and consequences. Thus, one can be filthy rich, drug-addicted, slum lording, environment polluting, capitalist, vicious, immoral, exploitative or otherwise parasitical, but it doesn't matter. Being a COOP gets you a free pass and (bonus!) a self-anointed moral plane among your peers, well above the rest of us social riff-raff. We Judeo-Christians may wish to refer to all this as cheap-Grace hypocrisy, but that's irrelevant. They don't care. It's not within their moral lexicon or world vision to comprehend.
Most Americans, I suggest, don't fall on one side or the other, but flounder within the confused middle trying to accommodate both value systems. This floundering affects our worldviews. On a domestic level, this confusion is bad enough…as, for example, believing that the solutions to social ills involve throwing money at them. On an international level, it could prove fatal. I recall after the 9/11 attacks, one of my parish priests tried to convince me that the solution to Islamic terrorists (collective label) was to send them aid (materialism) to show that we, the West (oppressor), could resolved their (oppressed) needs in a peaceful manner. So, the solution was to send material aid to Saudi Arabian islamists. Really!
Putative conservatives are also subject to such confusion. I recall the moment when I relinquished my hope that Colin Powell could ever qualify to be our first black President. It was during the aftermath of the Iraqi evacuation of Kuwait, when our A-10s and choppers were wreaking havoc on the retreating elements of the Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard. In the minds of Powell and President Bush-I (COOPS), the evacuees were transformed by our air power from evil incarnate (oppressors, to be destroyed, like the SS in WWII) into the oppressed (victims), so the attacks were halted. As the Talmud advises us, "kindness to the cruel is cruelty to the kind". The Republican Guard went on to slaughter 100,000-plus Shiites, when they rose in rebellion against Hussein…thereby setting the stage for the next conflict and all of its sad, bloody consequences today. Bush and Powell's decision showed me that their moral confusion would cause them to choke when asked to make hard moral and strategic decisions between "bad" and "worse".
But, of course, that's a Judeo-Christian value judgment.
So, try it…apply this Marxist-Progressive model world view to the news and opinions we share and debate in the Bookworm Room. See how well it helps you to the "other".

Oil prices gain above $98 on US economic outlook
The price of oil edged up above $98 a barrel Tuesday after strong U.S. factory data and an apparent easing in tensions over Ukraine.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for April delivery was up 23 cents to $98.31 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Monday, the Nymex contract fell 81 cents to close at $98.08.
Brent crude, used to set prices for international varieties of crude, was up 21 cents to $106.45 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Data from the Federal Reserve showed that U.S. factory output in February rose at its fastest clip in six months after disruptions from severe winter weather. That bodes well for demand for oil in the world's largest economy.
Oil prices were also underpinned by the narrow scope of U.S and European Union sanctions against Russia for its intervention in Crimea. On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty to annex Crimea but suggested his country was not seeking to take over other parts of Ukraine.
Continued risk factors include Libya's ongoing struggle to normalize its oil production and exports, which have been hampered by conflicts between the government and rebel groups seeking autonomy for the country's eastern region.
On Monday, U.S. Navy SEALs seized an oil tanker near Cyprus, stopping an attempt by a Libyan militia to sell the shipload of crude in defiance of the Libyan government.
Investors are also awaiting fresh information on U.S. stockpiles of crude and refined products.
Statistics for the week ending March 14 are expected to show a build of 2.6 million barrels in crude oil stocks and a draw of 1.6 million barrels in gasoline stocks, according to a survey of analysts by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.
The American Petroleum Institute will release its report on oil stocks later Tuesday, while the report from the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration — the market benchmark — will be out on Wednesday.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline inched up 0.32 cent to $2.8763 a gallon.
— Heating oil gained 0.63 cent to $2.8847 a gallon.
— Natural gas fell 3.3 cents to $4.503 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The wind was on in full force today in Pointe Magnin, Noumea. Riders pumped up their smallest kites, mostly 7m for the competition today.#
The mandatory riders meeting started at 10:00 am at the beach with a lot of local riders making up the large number of professional athletes that registered for the event. The first round saw most of the local riders taking on each other for a chance at going into the second round against the top seeded players. In the first round of men's heats, Julien Kerneur (Takoon, FRA) defeated Enzo Todiello (Ozone, FRA) leading him into the second round against Brazilian rider Reno Romeu (North, BRA). Romeu eliminated Kerneur in the second round and will also move on to the third round of heats tomorrow against Youri Zoon (Slingshot, NED). Zoon was on top of his game today defeating Torrin Bright (Ozone, NZL) in the second round due to his intense riding style. Alexandre Bournay (Naish, ESP) defeated Michael Siret (Slingshot, FRA) in the first round of heats however was eliminated in the second round by local hero Tom Hebert (Airush, NCL) who was more than comfortable on his home turf. Hebert will move on to the third round against one of the PKRA world title contenders, Alex Pastor (Airush, ESP) who defeated Australian competitor Simon Whichterman (Airush, AUS) in the second round moving him up the ladder.

Mario Rodwald (North, GER) defeated Forrest Bakker (Flexifoil, FRA) in the second round today and will move on to compete against the current PKRA tour leader Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS). It was an exciting final men's single elimination heat today as rider Michael Dinclaux (Takoon, FRA) gave Yates a run for his money. Dinclaux rode with intense power, great executions and style however crashed into Yates causing him to be disqualified enabling Yates to move on to the third round which will commence tomorrow.
In the women's freestyle single elimination division, Bruna Kajiya (Flexifoil, BRA) kicked off the womens series by defeating local rider Noemie Le Bouteipper (Ozone, FRA) leading her into the third round against Karolina Winkowska (Slingshot, POL). The second women's heat of the day was United Kingdom beauty Johara Sykes-Davies (Flexifoil, GBR) against local rider Nina Cavalie (Liquid Force, FRA). Sykes-Davies defeated Cavalie in the second round and will move on to the third round tomorrow against the current tour leader Gisela Pulido (Airush, ESP).

In 1983, The Black Agenda
was reorganized around
"The United Independent
Compensatory Code/System/Concept," simply referred to as
This major reorganization
reflected the changing attitudes and growing sophistication of non-white people,
specifically Black people.
The Black Agenda has evolved into a pro-active system of
thought, speech and action designed to focus on all areas of human activity, against the
global system of white supremacy (often incorrectly referred to as "racism").
The intended
result of this educational process is to produce a critical mass of "codified" people, capable of moving Black people beyond the point of concern for
self-determination, to a broader concern for the global family and the establishment and
maintenance of a global justice.
Educating Black People for Social, Political, Economic,
Cultural, Scientific
& Technological Development.

Break Housing
Because the residence halls are closed during the winter (Christmas) break between the end of Fall Semester exams and the beginning of January, it is necessary for students to find alternative housing. Plan ahead and don't wait until December! You have several options:
Friends and Family
If you have friends or family in the United States who have welcomed you into their home, you may consider visiting and staying with them over breaks and vacation periods when Wilson housing is closed.
Christmas International House
Housing information is available at www.christmasih.org. Quoting from their website: Christmas International House is a Christian ministry designed to offer hospitality to students during the Christmas Holidays. Through the hospitality of churches and civic groups, we witness to the reality that, behind diverse manners of dress, religious affiliations and political ideologies, everyone stands together as one human family. This is a peacemaking program. It gives students an opportunity to visit in an American home and to become acquainted with different areas of the country. It gives them a chance to express their feelings about the United States and find explanations for cultural differences they have observed.
You do not need to be Christian to participate in this program. International students are able to stay with a host family or at a church hall during the holiday break. You must pay a $125 registration fee (if you apply before October 15, higher later) and obtain transportation to your location. There aren't other costs. Some Wilson students have participated in this program and have enjoyed it. They experienced living in an American family in a different part of the country. There is a list of states and cities to choose from, so you could spend your Christmas in Florida, California, Nebraska, or many other places!
The program runs from December 20, 2014 to January 2, 2015. You can apply from September 15 but no later than November 15. The earlier you apply, the more likely you are to get your choice of location and the lower the application fees.
Local Host Families
There are a few limited options for students who want to stay in the Chambersburg area with a host family during Wilson College breaks. International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) may be able to direct you to some willing families. Please inform ISSS far in advance if you are interested in this option.
