A combination of academic and voluntary programs such as internships assure students in our Donald S. Maine College of Business and College of Technology are prepared for their career.
The process to begin an internship program is simple:
Provide Career Services with a position description
Once the position is approved for credit, Career Services will provide you with an internship site agreement form, introduce you to your faculty supervisor and post your position provide qualified students to consider
Assist you with interview space, if needed
Prepare the student for success in the work place
Many employers work with Career Services to maintain on-going or semester-to-semester internship opportunities to keep a consistent flow of interns working in their organizations. We can also assist you with posting non-credit internships that meet the Bureau of Labor and Statistics federal internship guidelines. If your organization is currently running a successful internship program, please consider posting your opportunities in DUCareerNET.
Internships are required for the majority of our College of Health Professions programs. These practicums prepare students to enter their fast paced careers with confidence and experience.
Job Shadow
Our job shadow program provides students an opportunity to visit with an employer for a few hours and learn from professionals in their academic field. This learning experience may include touring facilities, conducting informational interviews, or meeting others in the department.
Informational Interviews
Many organizations partner with us to help our students begin to form their professional education plan. The first step in this process is to choose a major. By offering time to conduct a short 30-45 minute interview with a student about your industry, career, and the positions that are possible in your area of expertise, you can help students make informed decisions about their majors and professional future.
Contact Career Services for more information about our internship and job shadow processes.

INDIO >> Love was in the air at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on Friday as at least one couple was caught getting engaged on festival grounds.
A Los Angeles News Group photographer caught Richie Martinez, 29, proposing to Nora Mora, 28, at the Lightweaver art installation near the entrance of the festival.
"I wanted to do it somewhere artistic and special," Martinez said of the proposal. "When we walked in, I knew it was just perfect."
The San Diego couple met in Los Angeles five years ago at a dance event — Martinez is a break dancer and Mora is a house dancer. Since then, they've attended the desert music festival twice together.
Martinez had been thinking of popping the question for about three months and packed the custom engagement ring with him to Coachella, though he was nervous Mora would see if he had to take it out during the security check point at the festival gates.
"I wasn't expecting it at all," Mora said, adding that she instantly started crying when she realized what was happening.
"It has to be the most amazing feeling I've ever had. To have this happen here was just perfect, especially because we're both music and dance junkies."

The July 29, 1944 issue of the Chicago Defender carried this photo of Fisk student, Miss Helen Hortense Tildon of Tuskegee, Alabama.
Miss Tildon is the daughter of Lt. Col. Touissant T. and Margaret Tildon. The family is from Tuskegee, where this picture was taken, where I find 4 year old Helen H. enumerated with parents and brother Touissant Jr.
Her father is enumerated as a physician and was born in Texas. He was a pyschiatrist and graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1923 and would spend most of his career in Tuskegee. [Black Psychiatrists and American Psychiatry]. Harvard has an online resource called Against All Odds that includes a biographical sketch about her father – click on the "Part Two: Biographical Sketches" to find it. It appears though that the family last name may have been Tilden.

This is the fifth article in a continuing monthly series chronicling the growth path of Genevolve Vision Diagnostics, a life sciences startup based in Albuquerque, NM that is commercializing cutting edge genetic research to develop new diagnostic tests and gene therapies for colour blindness.
By Francis Moran and Leo Valiquette
It's been a busy couple of months for Matt Lemelin, CEO of Genevolve Vision Diagnostics, as he hustles across the U.S. to raise Genevolve's profile and, ideally, its bank account.
A year ago he made the mistake of letting his fundraising efforts lose steam after he secured a short-term investor. But those funds quickly ran out and he found himself scrambling without any fresh prospects in the pipeline. In our last post, we also talked about how Genevolve's plans for a big launch at the annual meeting of the American Academy for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus in March had been derailed by delays in the lab.

1. Garlic Scapes. This crazy, curly stalk grows up from the garlic bulb. It's removed to allow the bulb to continue to grow. The flavor is somewhere near garlic cloves, a scallion's greens and chive. I love using these in place of regular garlic for a lighter hit of this strong aromatic.
2. Long Beans and Mystery greens. What's the best thing at the farmers market that you've never tried? It just might be the things that have no name in English. At my favorite market there is a Thai family who grows and sells a lot of their native varieties of basil, eggplant, chilies and greens. When I inquire what certain new leafy items are, the youngest daughter smiles, shrugs and just explains there is no name in English, or "It goes well with fish." She's always a bit surprised when I nod my head and buy each new item. This edible culture lesson has its rewards. The "fish greens" were sweet and earthy and paired fantastic with grilled halibut. Other "new" greens that folks have been eating for centuries include sweet potato leaves (NOT potato leaves which are toxic), and amaranth. Long beans are a type of Asian green bean, about 10 inches long, with a delicate flavor.
3. Purple Hull Peas. If you've only had canned or dried beans, you'll find the texture and flavor of the fresh variety well worth shelling yourself. If you shell them into a pot and there happens to be a ham hock and some fresh herbs in there, all the better.
4. Pea Shoots. Eats shoots and leaves. And enjoys it. I'll confess that I never loved canned peas as a kid. Far from it. I figured out that peas, fresh shelled, actually taste good. The pea shoots with delicate leaves and curling tendrils are even better. They work great as a salad green for early spring.
5. Love the lovage? I'd never even tried it until last season. Same goes for chervil, borage, lemon verbena, and a lot of others. There's just not a whole lot of rack space in that little herb section at the grocery store. Plus at two dollars a package, it costs less to just buy the plant and grow as much as you need, when you need it. Try mixing herbs in with salad greens. Borage can be a bit prickly, but when chopped fine, the flavor — like a tart, tangy cucumber — is perfect with greens and goat cheese.
For more unique produce that you can only find local, you can read this post at Eat Local Challenge. Or, of course, you could just head to your local farmers market and try a few for yourself.

The Association of Scientists, which represents scientists in the National Institutes of Health and others receiving federal research grants, said the law will put its members at risk for identity theft and will drive top scholars to the private sector, where they can have more privacy. The organization said the requirements that were in effect prior to the April 4 signing of the STOCK Act are sufficient, and the new provisions are creating superfluous administrative tasks that take away from accomplishing real work.
The group wrote a letter Monday to the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee -- Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, respectively -- to voice its concerns.
"The Assembly of Scientists supports the STOCK Act's stand against insider trading, which is illegal and immoral," the group wrote in the letter. "But we are very concerned that the STOCK Act creates burdens that we believe are deleterious to the ability of NIH and other U.S. institutions of science to best accomplish their missions."
The organization argued existing federal law prohibits its 600 members from regulating, consulting with and making public policy for private industry. The disclosures, they argued, therefore are unnecessary.
The Senior Executives Association also has voiced opposition to these STOCK Act provisions.

There's a lot to look forward to in the car world. What future feature gets you excited?
I, for one, am looking forward to Active Steering and Active Emergency Braking. Nissan has working prototypes of the systems now that keep confused old drivers or texting teens from running over babies in the road or crashing into trees on windy roads.
In short, I don't trust any other driver on the road, and I couldn't be happier to see a computer take the wheel away from them.
What feature are you looking forward to?

Christie Administration Advances Regulations to Implement Statewide Educator Evaluation Systems Provided for in Landmark Tenure Reform Law
Statewide Implementation of the New System – AchieveNJ – Will Begin in the 2013-2014 School Year
|For Immediate Release
|Contact: Barbara Morgan
Rich Vespucci
|Date: March 6, 2013
Trenton, NJ – Taking another critical step to implement the Christie Administration's bold education reform agenda and ensure all New Jersey schools have the most effective educators as possible, the Department of Education today proposed regulations outlining the requirements of the new statewide educator evaluation systems, known as AchieveNJ. Upon State Board approval, the proposed regulations will allow the statewide adoption of this new evaluation system to take effect in the 2013-2014 school year. The statewide evaluations system is provided for in the Administration's historic tenure reform law, the Teacher Effectiveness and Accountability for the Children of New Jersey (TEACHNJ) Act, which was passed unanimously by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Christie on August 6, 2012.
"We are committed to developing an educator evaluation system that honors our educators' achievements and ensures that they have the tools they need to continuously improve and help all of our students succeed," said Commissioner Cerf. "Achieve NJ is based on three years of research, piloting, and engagement with thousands of educators, and we believe the proposed regulations reflect the professionalism of our educators and ultimately will contribute to improved learning outcomes for students."
TEACHNJ requires the new evaluation system to include four annual rating categories – Highly Effective, Effective, Partially Effective and Ineffective – based on multiple measures of student learning and instructional practice. The proposed regulations define the specific components of those measures for all districts across the state. Districts are required to submit their evaluation systems to the Commissioner for review and approval on an annual basis and are not subject to collective bargaining. The Commissioner will annually establish parameters, including specific component weights, for approving the systems.
AchieveNJ is structured around several guiding principles:
"The regulations proposed today are among the most important rules the State Board of Education will consider this year. Therefore, it is paramount that we fulfill our obligation to fully evaluate the proposal through our multi-level review process, which includes two opportunities for public testimony and ample time to receive comments," said Arcelio Aponte, State Board President. "I look forward to working with my fellow State Board members, Commissioner Cerf, Department staff, educators, advocates and parents to ensure the final rules will achieve the desired goal of every classroom being led by an effective teacher with improved outcomes for all students."
Consistent with TEACHNJ's focus on multiple measures, teachers and principals will be evaluated on the basis of both evidence of improved student learning and observations of instructional practice.
Student Learning
Student learning will be evaluated through a variety of measures, including both traditional assessments and portfolios of student work, and will never be based on a single test score alone. Teacher evaluations will be assessed on two different student growth indicators – Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs), which are based on the NJ ASK test, and Student Growth Objectives (SGOs), which educators set with approval from their supervisors, and track over the course of a school year. For example, an SGO for a 2nd Grade Reading teacher might be to have 80% of students increase one proficiency level in reading as measured by the Text Reading and Comprehension (TRC) Assessment. Similarly, principals will be measured on school-wide SGP scores, the aggregate SGO scores of teachers in their schools, and Administrator Goals, which are measurable goals of school-based student performance that the principal sets with his or her superintendent – such as graduation rates or scores on AP courses.
Instructional Practice
Observations of instructional practice will be conducted according to teacher and principal evaluation instruments selected by districts. Observations of teachers will be conducted by principals or other supervisors who have been appropriately trained on the evaluation instrument, and all teachers will have at least three observations. New teachers and those in need of extra support will also benefit from multiple observers. In evaluating a principal's instructional practice, observations will be conducted by the superintendent or his designee and may include a school walk-through, observations of staff or parent meetings, or observations of assemblies.
Principals will also be evaluated on an Evaluation Leadership Rubric as an additional measure of practice. The Leadership Rubric measures how well the principal implements the new teacher evaluation system in his or her school and is intended to foster collaboration throughout schools and districts.
Relative Weights of Evidence of Student Learning & Instructional Practice
The TEACHNJ Act delegates to the Department of Education and Commissioner the authority to set the standards for evaluation systems, including the relative weights given to the components of educator evaluations. For teachers, the proposed regulations differentiate between teachers of tested and non-tested grades and subjects. Each year, the Department will post the weights for the next school year by April 15. For the 2013-2014 school year, the following weights will apply:
Teachers in tested grades include 4th-8th grade Language Arts Literacy (LAL) and/or Mathematics teachers, a group that constitutes approximately 20% of teachers across the state. In order to ensure fairness in attributing student learning to any given teacher, students must be enrolled in a teacher's class for at least 60 percent of the year and a teacher must have SGP scores for at least 20 students. Because 3rd grade is the first testing year of NJ ASK, there is no baseline data to create an SGP for students and teachers in that grade level. When available, multiple years of data, will be used.
Additional information on and detailed definitions of the weights and measures are outlined in the guide released by the Department today: http://www.nj.gov/education/AchieveNJ/intro/guide.pdf
The Department will continue to learn from implementation successes and challenges, research, best practices and feedback from educators and may propose additional regulatory changes as appropriate in future years.
Professional Growth & Tenure
The primary goal of these new evaluation systems is to create professional development opportunities that are uniquely tailored to educators. This will occur both during the school year, through more frequent feedback from observations and tracking of student learning data, and through the traditional summary conference at the end of the year which will serve to inform the educator's next individual professional development plan.
As in the past, each educator will participate in a summary conference at the end of the school year to discuss his or her evaluation rating. Additionally, any educator rated Partially Effective or Ineffective will develop, in conjunction with his or her supervisor, a Corrective Action Plan to provide additional targeted support to address areas of need.
Educator evaluations will also be used to inform employment status as it relates to tenure. For the first time in New Jersey, the process of earning and maintaining tenure will be linked to educator effectiveness, rather than time served. In accordance with the TEACHNJ Act, any teachers, principals, assistant principals, or vice-principals hired after August 6, 2012 must be employed for four years and receive a rating of Effective or Highly Effective in two of three evaluations in order to earn tenure. Further, upon acquiring tenure, educators who fail to achieve a rating of Effective or Highly Effective over multiple consecutive years will be in jeopardy of losing their tenure.
Educator Involvement
Teachers and principals have engaged directly in all steps of the planning and implementation of AchieveNJ. The decisions outlined today were largely developed collaboratively with educators over a two-year pilot program across the state. In addition to the Evaluation Pilot Advisory Committee (EPAC), which has guided state evaluation policy development, all districts across the state have formed local advisory committees and all schools have formed School Improvement Panels as required by law. These groups are intended to ensure educators have a voice in shaping and conducting evaluations in their schools.
Continued Outreach
To communicate details of AchieveNJ for the 2013-14 school year, the Department announced a series of regional presentations and launched an updated website, which includes a host of resources for school communities about the evaluation system:

BRISTOL — On Feb. 10, a public meeting will be held in Bristol to discuss the town's application to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation for two variances concerning the operation of its Pine Street landfill.
According to Town Administrator Bill Bryant, the state has changed the way in which it interprets its regulations regarding the operations of municipal landfills. The new interpretation would require the town of Bristol to build enough money into the budget to cover closure fund obligations — an amount that nears $1 million, Bryant said.

This morning I woke up to an email telling me that my Nexus7 that I had ordered 3 weeks ago was… "out for delivery".
I couldn't contain my excitement. I sat patiently waiting by my door. Finally 11 o'clock rolls around and there is a knock. I'm handed a brown parcel and hand over the obligatory signature. I close the door behind me and carefully place the box on the desk. I contemplate teasing myself and seeing how long I can hold out before opening it.

The Allen-Lane Company Collection contains the records of a Boston, Massachusetts, firm of wholesale wool commission merchants from 1853 to 1941. The collection contains payroll records of individual textile mills controlled by the firm, including Georges River Mills at Warren, Maine; Devonshire Mills, Goff's Falls, New Hampshire; Monadnock Blanket Mills, Marlboro, New Hampshire; Rockfall Woolen Company, Middletown, Connecticut; and the Walker Mills in Wilton, Maine.Records also include stock and dividend records as well as Lane Family materials including correspondence, Benjamin C. Lane's 1917 will establishing a trust for his wife, Florence, and information on church and civic matters, including the West Roxbury Citizens' Association in the 1920s and 1930s. The Allen-Lane Company sent yarn out to dry goods stores across northern New England, to be knitted into socks and mittens. The collection includes several folders of "Knitting Statements," letters to accompany or announce finished goods, or to request more yarn. In a letter addressed to "Messrs. Allen, Lane, Co.," T. Tufts & Co. wrote on December 5, 1873, during a very serious economic downturn:
We are sorry to hear that we need not expect any more yarn this winter. Money is scarce in this country and our knitters want and need work, and it would be charitable to say the least to furnish them work. We allow our knitters the same price per doz. that you pay us, and make but a small profit on our goods, we don't see how some poor widows will get through this long cold winter without work.If you will give us half or two thirds of the amount of yarn we have been having we will place it among the most needy, and if you are intending to make up a lot of mitts for the trade of next fall would it not be better to keep knitters at work this winter and if the mitts accumulate too fast shorten us next summer or fall. It takes time to bring things around. We hope you will conclude to furnish us with yarn through this winter will supply the best knitters and try and do the work satisfactorily.

According to Bloomberg, the Fed stimulus helped in pushing the S&P 500 up as much as 153% from its March 2009 low, as better-than-estimated corporate earnings also fueled equity gains. Of the 483 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported quarterly earnings this period, 71% surpassed profit estimates.
On Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell 0.6% to the lowest level since July 8 as minutes from the Federal Reserve's July meeting showed officials support stimulus cuts this year if the economy improves. In this way, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index extended its decline to 3.9% since closing at its latest record on August 2.
Despite this decline, yesterday, U.S. stocks rose on data showing improvement in global manufacturing and the American labor market. The S&P 500 index gained 0.9% and climbed to 1,656.96.
Will they keep rallying? Let's take a closer look at the charts to find out what the current situation in the general stock market is (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).
Click to enlarge.
On this week's long-term S&P 500 chart we see that the situation hasn't changed much.
The correction is still shallow from the long-term perspective, and the S&P 500 Index reached the rising support line based on the November 2012 and January 2013 lows (in terms of weekly closing prices).
Please note that there is another rising support line based on the November 2012 -January 2013 lows (on an intraday basis), which may stop a correction even if the current support doesn't hold. Therefore, the downside seems limited.

The Tempest by William Shakespeare. Directed by Tony Simotes.
Reviewed by J. Peter Bergman
"The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs. . ."
A beautiful production of a classic play can turn what is normally pleasant and familiar into something strangely beautiful and romantically sweeping. The new production of "The Tempest" starring Olympia Dukakis as Prospera - the female version of Shakespeare's Prospero - at Lenox, MA's Shakespeare and Company is just such a production and it turns out to be revelatory as well. What was once a gentlemanly resource in the language of the leading actor turns into the softer side of a female protagonist while his darker spoken words are delivered with the virago-like courage of a woman scorned and beaten who will not bear the brunt of such indignation. Remarkably, the transition works to the benefit of both the character and the play.
Choreographed by Barbara Allen and with new vocal settings for the songs composed by Scott Killian, the production itself with its beautiful costumes designed by Deborah Brothers, its magical set created by Sandra Goldmark and its deft and defining lighting designed by Matthew E. Adelson is a remarkable feat of theater magic. All of these elements coalesce as if my literal magic and a three-quarter thrust stage opens up into a world not easily conceived off the pages of the play.
Add to this the cast of dreams. In addition to the Greek Goddess Dukakis there is Merritt Janson as her daughter Miranda, Ryan Winkles as her soon-to-be husband Ferdinand, Rocco Sisto as the monster Caliban, Kristin Wold as the fairy Ariel, Jonathan Epstein as the drunken Stephano, James Read as the Duke of Milan (Prospera's hateful brother), Apollo Dukakis as the faithful friend Gonzalo, David Joseph as the plotter Sebastian and Thomas L. Rindge as Alonso, King of Naples. These and the other members of the company comprise a seamless ensemble of players who move through this play, set on a Mediterranean island at about 1939. The alteration of time only affects the costumes for the men, however. Everything else is as it always has been and so it has little to do with the actual playing of the play.
Director Tony Simotes has made bold and radical choices. For Dukakis he has left her with the strengths of a man and the heart of a woman. She emerges fatally female while staying feverishly feminine. Her tempers and her tantrums are contained in the magic that she and her servant Ariel can perform without attracting attention. She conducts the opening storm with a sense of understatement that is only seen a few times thereafter, but her voice - sometimes too gentle for this theater - holds emotional shades that are rarely heard in this role. It becomes an interesting and unanswered question here whether or not it was her delving into magic, into witchcraft, that caused her to be deposed as Duchess and deserted on this island.
As her daughter, Miranda, who has never seen an actual man before, the ingenuousness brought to the play by Merritt Janson is a delicious and physically devastating set of choices. She and Simotes bring out every comic element of her attraction to Ferdinand - the equal of her melodramatic repulsion to Caliban - even to the effect of a kiss on her maiden's lips.
Winkles is quickly turning into the new swain of this company's performances. His romantic youngster in this play is the equal of anything else he has achieved here in the past. What was once an odd facade has turned into an antic romantic, a face and body that appeal to women and to men. He is the perfect human foil for the slightly magical Miranda.
Jonathan Epstein who has never been my favorite actor in this company is changing into a delightful comedy player whose work is so much more appealing. Here, as Stephano, he reaches a new highpoint in his transition into the comedy of the classics. Sober or drunk, Epstein's version of this butler is just one perfect choice after another. The work is more than adequate to turn a foe into a fan and this fan was never a foe, just much less impressed with the range of his talents than is now evinced. His scenes alone are worth the cost of a ticket to this show.
He is ably aided by Timothy Douglas as Trinculo, a jester from Jamaica, whose attack on the homebrew that Stephano provides is as funny as his reaction to Caliban's presence on the island.
Caliban is a triumph in the highly talented hands, feet, face and voice of Rocco Sisto. Played as a peroxide blonde, this monster is a triumph for the actor who roars with feeble grace, rampages with monumental sweetness and presents a renewed vision of what makes a monster out of a man denied his birthright. Sisto's Caliban has strengths that cannot be denied and an ugliness that can only be viewed, ultimately, as beautiful in its difference. Pity poor Caliban who may finally get what he has always wanted but for which he must relent and give over his rages as Sisto proves in the final scenes.
James Read and David Joseph are handsome plotters who are forever foiled. Rindge is an attractive elder statesman, very Congressional actually, as the King and Apollo Dukakis impresses with his genuineness, particularly in the second half of the play. Embraced by Olympia's Prospera, one feels the enormity of the double edged appearances here.
What Tony Simotes has created may be limited in its impact as the Dukakises move on to other theaters and other roles, but this is a production that should be brought back often and in particular in the school year so that students may learn firsthand the magic of theater and the beauty of language. What he has created here is nothing short of genius, the best production this company has offered in a very long while and there have been other great shows here. Perfection, though, is hard to achieve and in "The Tempest" there is a teapot of flavor, heat, strength and determined grace that cannot be ignored or overlooked or missed. When something is this well made you have to take a long, sweet, succulent sip as often as possible.
The Tempest has a limited run, ending on August 19. It plays at the Tina Packer Playhouse at Shakespeare and Company's Lenox, MA campus, located at 70 Kemble Street. For information or tickets call the box office at 413-637-3353 or go on line at www.shakespeare.org.

The Power Line Forum has turned out to be very popular, but not quite in the way that we'd envisioned. We thought most people would make their way to the Forum via the News site by clicking on a "discuss" button to comment on a news story or blog post. Some do that, but most go straight to the Forum and start a topic on whatever they're interested in at the moment. So what happened was that most of the action in the Forum was taking place in a somewhat chaotic "Miscellaneous" section.
We've now reorganized the layout of the main Forum page to correspond better to how people are using the site. We've added more general subject categories; you can now begin discussion threads in Media Bias; Election 2006 (soon to become Election 2008); the Global War on Terror (including, of course, Iraq); Academic Absurdities; the Judiciary (we may come up with a catchier name at some point); Illegal Immigration; Family and Community; and Patsy's (no, I'm not going to explain, you have to go look. But it has to do with culture commentary.) There are also still forums to discuss Power Line posts as well as posts by the Blog of the Week and the other sites that we feature on Power Line News. And there is still a "General" category for the pigeons that don't fit into one of the other holes.
We think this organization will make the forum site more fun and easier to navigate. Over the next 24 hours, we will move some of the threads in the current "General" section to new homes; we'd appreciate it if, going forward, posters try to start topic threads in the appropriate space.
If you haven't already checked out the Forum, you should. If you want to post, go here to register; it takes only a few seconds.

NY transit impostor gets 2 1/2 to 5 years in prison for stealing Trailways bus
NEW YORK – A New York City man who has been arrested 29 times for transit crimes has been sentenced to 2 1/2 to 5 years in prison for his latest caper.
Darius McCollum was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to stealing a Trailways bus in 2010. He was caught behind the wheel on the highway leading to Kennedy Airport.
McCollum's lawyer says his problems are the result of uncontrolled impulses. Both prosecutors and his lawyer say it's a byproduct of what was until recently called Asperger's syndrome but is now considered an autism spectrum disorder.
McCollum has volunteered to undergo therapy to try to break the cycle. He is hoping he will be paroled.
At age 15, McCollum piloted a subway train six stops without anyone noticing.

Ex-Penn State president found guilty of 1 count of child endangerment for handling of Sandusky scandal
Former Penn State President Graham Spanier was convicted on the first count of child endangerment, not guilty on a second count of child endangerment, and not guilty of conspiracy over his handling of the Sandusky accusations.
Jurors deliberated for around 10 hours in the child endangerment trial Spanier asked to rehear excerpts from the transcript of testimony earlier Friday.
The panel on Friday reheard the testimony of Jack Raykovitz, who headed the charity for at-risk children founded by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Raykovitz said then-athletic director Tim Curley told him a 2001 complaint about Sandusky showering with a boy was investigated and no wrongdoing was found, but Sandusky was told he couldn't bring children to university athletic facilities any longer.
Spanier was accused of one count of conspiracy and two counts of child endangerment, all felonies, for his handling of the complaint. Curley pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and testified for the prosecution.

Taylor Swift Sparkles When Picking Up Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award [PHOTO]
Taylor Swift won the 2013 Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International. She sparkled and shone in a short ensemble, which she wore when she attended the ceremony and pocketed her trophy this weekend (Oct. 13).
It was the sixth time Swift has won the award – that's more than any other artist. The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer wore a gorgeous silvery mini by Houghton to the event, which she paired with Louboutin heels. She only showed skin with her bare arms and legs, and with the cutout on the side, so the dress was subtle in its sexiness.
Since Swift was picking up a prestigious award, she reminded us of just how classy she is by how she presented herself, from a fashion standpoint.
We're so glad she's ditched some of her more dowdy ensembles in favor of gems like this! She was perfectly retro at a film premiere recently. Here, she was goddess-like and glam, thanks to her shorter, wavier hair, her smoky eye makeup and pink-slicked lips.

SEOUL — North Korea, reiterating that it considered the Korean Peninsula back in ''a state of war,'' threatened Saturday to shut down a factory complex it jointly operates with South Korea that stands as the last significant symbol of cooperation.
The industrial park, the eight-year-old Kaesong complex in the North Korean border town of the same name, is a crucial source of badly needed cash for the heavily sanctioned North. It funnels more than $92 million a year in wages for 53,400 North Koreans employed there, and its operation has survived despite years of military tensions.
The latest threat to close down Kaesong came amid a torrent of bellicose statements by the North in recent days, widely seen as a strategy to increase pressure on South Korea and the United States to soften their policies on the North.
Although South Korean officials reasserted that they were ready to retaliate if the North committed any military provocations, they said they saw no imminent sign of any such attacks. On Saturday, cross-border traffic operated as normal, allowing hundreds of South Koreans to travel to and from Kaesong.
Over 300 South Koreans remained in the complex, where 123 South Korean textile and other labor-intensive factories employ the North Korean workers, at an average monthly wage of $144.
The fate of Kaesong is seen as a crucial test of how far North Korea is willing to take its recent threats against the South. Its continued operation was often seen as a sign that Pyongyang's verbal militancy was not necessarily matched by its actions.
"The South Korean puppet forces are left with no face to make complaint even though we ban the South side's personnel's entry into the zone and close it,'' North Korea said Saturday in a statement carried by its official Korean Central News Agency. It said its dignity was insulted by South Korean news reports that suggested the North kept the complex open to obtain hard currency.
In Washington, the White House said the United States is taking seriously the new threats but also noted Pyongyang's history of ''bellicose rhetoric.''
In another development, some of the North's main government-run websites were disabled Saturday in what news media reports said were cyberattacks.
The disabled sites included those of Naenara, the government's official Web portal; Air Koryo, the state-run airline; and Voice of Korea, Pyongyang's international broadcast outlet.
North Korea Tech, a website that monitors Internet activities on the Korean Peninsula, said the problems appeared ''to be part of a loosely coordinated effort by hackers to target North Korean sites.'' By late Saturday afternoon, North Korean officials had not confirmed any attacks on government-run websites.
The problems come as some analysts suspect that cyberattacks have become an increasingly frequent weapon in the intensified sparring between the Koreas, although each side denies hacking the other.
South Korean officials suspect that North Korea was behind cyberattacks on March 20 against three banks and the country's two largest broadcasters. The attacks came five days after North Korea blamed the South and the United States for cyberattacks that temporarily shut down some of its official websites, and warned of ''consequences.''
North Korea has been angry ever since South Korea and the United States started a joint military exercise in early March. Its bellicosity further escalated when the United Nations imposed more sanctions against it after its Feb. 12 nuclear test.
The North has since declared an ''all-out action'' against Washington and Seoul and said that the armistice that stopped the Korean War in 1953, as well as all nonaggression agreements with the South, were nullified.
Last week, it cut the last remaining military hot lines with Seoul. Its leader, Kim Jong Un, ordered all his missile units to be on standby and if provoked, attack the United States and South Korea with nuclear-tipped long-range missiles, although most analysts doubt the North has them.
A statement by South Korea's military said that although the North Korean threats were not new, they ''are unacceptable and harm the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula.''

Camouflaged by 30 acres of lush coffee plantations and pleasantly tucked away from the main road, this homestay is a haven for those looking to be in the middle of green and peaceful environs. Almost a century old typical Hindu Kerala house, renovated into a comfortable stay, still maintains its old world charm with large verandahs called 'Charupadi', wooden flooring, 'poochi pura or cat house', a creeper covered door to the garden (Padipura) and original colourful tiles. Neema and Rajesh have maintained the aesthetic appeal of the place with blending the homestay aptly between its earthy surroundings, also meaning 'of the forest'. A narrow road with plantations on either side leads upto the gate which further ushers you into a sunny garden before the home.
Simple yet spacious suites and rooms make for a quiet stay, except for the chirping of birds in the mornings. Though, to really plunge into the beautiful Nilgiris, one must opt for the cottage by the valley. It stands right at the edge of the property, looking down at the verdant area below.
A common area with a thatched roof and an old wooden aquarium is great to catch up with fellow travellers. The food is made under Neema's supervision and is a must for Kerala delicacies. Rajesh, a photography enthusiast himself is full of stories from the wild. He is also keenly interested in organic farming and spends quite a lot of time in researching the topic.
The afternoon warmth hangs still in the air with only the sounds of the forest - perfect to catch up on a good book or just soak in the peace.
Pets are not allowed as the couple have their own dog.
Non-vegetarian food cannot be eaten in the main house but can be brought to the common area.

Neither of my high school friends let me in on their secret: they planned to commit suicide. They succeeded.
Not at the same time. And by then we were miles and years apart. But it still shook me to the core when I heard the news. "Death by suicide." My friends, they were, at least for some fun years. Football. Friday night school dances. Parties. Cruising. Hanging out.
Tipping Point: The critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development.
We're all going to die!
Well, that's true, but just not today.
We are now halfway through the 2010 General Assembly Session and while the House of Representatives continues to labor, as constitutionally required, on a budget proposal, the Senate's work, while on a smaller scale, is no less important. Both House and Senate Appropriations and Revenue chairmen are in close consultation so that when the House budget proposal is finalized and moves to the Senate, we can hit the ground running.

I'm an outdoor guy. I enjoy the warm, sunny days that come along with baseball season, and even the cooler days that bring the college and NFL football seasons.
That's why even I have been surprised to find myself enjoying the winter Olympics so much this year. Other than basketball and hockey, I'd rather be playing an outdoor sport, or even watching one played outdoors. That's just me. But this whole winter Olympics thing has found me sitting in my chair with, well, let's say, other events on the TV.
Dear Editor,
What a wonderful and welcoming facility we have in our Washington County Library.
As soon as you enter, people are at the computers, others choosing a video, while some are deciding which book they want, or just sitting at a table reading. If you need help finding anything...no worry...a smiling face will be right there for you. Need a copy or two run, they'll do that also.
To the magistrates of Washington County
I am writing to you in reference to your recent vote that eliminated the yearly county cleanup program. While I realize that no one enjoys being told they have made a mistake, I believe it is my duty to inform you that your vote to discontinue this program was indeed a HUGE mistake!
I owned three pairs of shoes when this story began.
A pair of shoes showed up at my house a few years back. That's not all that unusual, except these showed up by themselves, with no one attached.
I was coming up the drive to the garage one day when I saw a plastic Wal-Mart bag with something in it lying against the house. There's always something laying around our house, mostly kids, so my curiosity wasn't peaked until a couple of days later. The bag was still there.
Some winter, huh?
Did you ever think about the positive side really bad weather brings?
It's rest and being with your family.
Sounds funny doesn't it? But sometimes the weather gets so bad that life slows down to a crawl. You can't go anywhere because the roads are snowed in. Even if you could go somewhere, everything is pretty much shut down.
So what happens?
You stay home and bundle up for a day or two. Maybe play in the snow, watch television, play cards, or get out some old board games.
Numbers don't lie, but they can be deceiving. That was the case in an article published in the Jan. 27 issue of The Springfield Sun about the salaries of bus drivers in Washington and surrounding counties, and it's only appropriate to clear those numbers up and paint the picture as clearly as possible.
After bus drivers approached the local school board requesting pay raises, I wrote an article that explained how salaries for drivers in Washington County compared to those in surrounding counties, including Marion, Mercer and Nelson counties.
Over the past couple of years, too many Americans, including officials in high places, have criticized the United States for actions resulting in terrorism. Blame has been placed at our own feet for heinous attacks visited upon our citizens and soil. Interpretation of American "transgression" has even been stated as coming from an enemy that lacks acceptance of, and is against our founding principles: liberty and freedom. An honest review of history argues against that theme.
What was I thinking?
It's been my experience in life that you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear. No, if you start with a pig's ear, you're pretty much going to end up with a pig's ear. That's just the way it is.
The earthquake that has devastated the capital city of Haiti is an unbelievably cruel disaster for a country that is already one of the poorest and neglected countries in the world. The thousands of lives that have been lost and the devastation that has been left behind are almost too mind-boggling to comprehend.
But it's real.
It may be thousands of miles away from us, but there is a simple way we can help the starving people of Haiti who, we might add, have been starving long before this disaster occurred.
On Jan. 12, I attended a girls' high school basketball game that Washington County played against Nelson County. This game was a very close game until the end.
During the last nine or 10 years, we as Americans have become victims of political correctness by our government. We have continued to argue about the process of how to handle those that have been captured and where they are to be housed. We have been told that these attacks are nothing more than man caused disasters, and we cannot even use the word terrorist as it may create problems with the culture of hate and those responsible. Apparently we have not learned anything from history. It is important to look at history because it may give us some clues to the future.
At a time when our state and country face a lot of important issues, it seems some of our government officials are finding more ways to concern themselves with things besides our government.
In looking through area newspapers recently, I discovered just how unimportant some of the business is that is being addressed by our legislators.
Did you know some lawmakers made a motion recently in Kentucky's General Assembly to enshrine former UK basketball coach Joe B. Hall in the Basketball Hall of Fame?
My high school days saw a lot of bad choices. Most concerned my clothing or my hair.

June is traditionally the month for marriages. This ain't June, but I'm so tired of freezing my . . . hands off in the cold weather that all I do is think about June. Global warming, my Aunt Franny! What a gullible bunch of people we are. I'm cold!
Anyway, I love big weddings.

Osage County schools and communities marked the Veterans Day holiday with events throughout the weekend with meals, plays, assemblies and other events.
"Veterans Day is more than an assembly at school," said Carbondale Attendance Center Principal Michael Flax Friday afternoon. "It's a day to honor our veterans that served this country and those that serve today."
Guest speaker at the Carbondale assembly was retired Chief Master Sargent Mac Criger, who honored those in attendance who served, including veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield and Afghanistan.
"Each of those folks fought gallantly and did their jobs," Criger said.
Criger went on discuss patriotism, not only in those that served in the military, but those that serve their community – from his father to the handyman down the street.
"If you work hard for your fellow Americans, support your community and family, I guarantee you, you're a patriot," Criger said.
At Scranton Attendance Center, retired Sargent Harry W. Bryant spoke to the third- and fourth-grade classes, along with visiting guests and veterans. Bryant asked those in attendance to respect the flag and what it stands for.
"Always, to remember what veterans have done for you," Bryant said. "I ask every one of you to make a tiny sacrifice. When the National Anthem is played, stand rigid, face the flag, remove your caps and show respect."
Ceremonies at both locations closed with a trumpet performance of Taps, honoring the veterans that didn't make it home.
Additional Veterans Day lunches and assemblies were held in Burlingame, Lyndon, Osage City and Quenemo.

text: Business success — you may think it's all about the bottom line, but savvy CEOs like those at Apple, Starbucks and IKEA know otherwise. Although profits play a big role, it's also important for companies to be socially responsible by considering their impact on the environment, their local economy and their customers. One way that companies can practice corporate social responsibility (CSR) is by incorporating it into company events.

SMOOSH blankets are hand crafted from hundreds of yards of hand spun marshmallow soft Merino wool....not unspun wool..often, unspun wool can shed a little too much for the softness, durability, and carefree enjoyment necessary for a treasured heirloom
This lovely wool is processed by a family-run mill using restored vintage equipment with a strong emphasis on little or no environmental impact. We use only ethical and cruelty-free mills for your wool sources!
This lightly spun Merino is a naturally strong, breathable fiber, stronger than either silk or cotton, and is exceptionally soft....much like cashmere in feel.
THIS IS STOCKINETTE STITCH...The last picture shows the reverse side..(my favorite)
Content: Pure Merino Wool
Size: 50x70 inches (96x152cm)
Color: Natural Candle White
Dry Clean only
While we try to accurately portray the colors as closely as possible, there will be some color differences due to monitor calibrations and displays. Wool is a natural product and its natural color is unbleached, and because it is organic, it is a gentle off-white.
Large scale knitting is extremely moveable and can be morphed into about any look you desire, which makes it the perfect accent for that special spot. The knitting will actually grow a little with use. Shipping measurements are taken with items lying flat, slightly open. Some patterns compress more than others, but all will contain the number of square inches specified.

We don't send you wool that is simply repackaged from a wool mill - our original SMOOSH Pure Merino yarn is truly unique in that we take the time to process and lightly spin it into a real yarn product. This is why SMOOSH yarn can take a little extra time to receive.Smoosh Yarns and Blankets are more durable, shed less, last longer and our blankets are not made with plain wool roving. Please read the rest of our FAQ's for more about why your SMOOSH Yarn™ Or SMOOSH Blanket™ Is truly one of a kind!
We are sorry, but we can not be held responsible, or refund, stolen or packages not picked after attempted delivery. If you require your package to be delivered with a signature confirmation please contact us so we may note your order.
We use 100% merino wool for all our products. Dry cleaning is best. Gentle spot cleaning if necessary. Do not machine wash or dry.
All of our wool is lightly processed with an all natural, lightly scented wool wash. This scent (A natural fresh clean scent) will completely disappear within hours of receiving, and your blanket (or yarn) will quickly settle into your home!
Large quantity bulk orders are available at a reduced rate.
Large scale knitting is extremely moveable. All sizing is done laid flat, not stretched. Due to the nature of the fabric, the sizing is very changeable and can vary... Each item is measured before shipping and will be at least the size advertised, but can 'grow' with use.
My product is a spun, lightly felted yarn, not the plain wool roving you can find other places, which provides strength, durability and 95% less shedding... our yarn has been made this way for many years and has lasted the test of time! My process allows for the same giant size, but eliminates the problems with using roving ... Roving breaks and tears, sheds like crazy and creates a very heavy Item! SMOOSH yarn is giant, airy, light and easy to work with! On Etsy since early 2013 and In local markets and boutiques prior, well before the 'chunky craze' hit the world, my process has been developed over many years of trial and error, to find the perfect mix of spin, felting,and sizing, to make a beautiful, yet durable blanket or project!
We recommend our giant size 120 needles for best results with our yarn. Anything smaller such US size 50's and below will create a more dense heavier fabric, and require more yarn.
SMOOSH blankets are made with our SMOOSH Pure Merino Wool Yarn, and not plain raw wool roving seen in other shops or websites. The process of lightly spinning and felting the wool to create our yarn provides strength, durability, and reduces shedding and tearing by 95% ... Using this yarn to create our SMOOSH blankets means your blanket will be lighter, fluffier and softer than any other! We have been selling our blankets and yarn on Etsy for many years, and in local boutiques and markets well before that - our blankets have withstood the test of time!
Our pattern booklet (in English ) is provided with all knit kits and yarn purchase. It includes 5 style blanket patterns, and 2-3 small project bonus patterns. It also has some tips and tricks for large scale knitting and sizing details with cast on information. It is not a basic knitting tutorial however, and some basic knitting knowledge, while not needed, is helpful. All patterns are beginner level and require only basic knowledge of cast on, knit and purl techniques.
