I love the back-to-back columns on the Bush tax cuts and fiscal responsibility that Clive Crook of the Financial Times wrote earlier this month. He really tells it like it is: we simply can't afford to permanently extend even the so-called "middle-class" portions of the Bush tax cuts–for several reasons.
His first column ("Obama must break his tax promise") points out the hypocrisy of the Obama Administration in adopting the Bush tax cuts as the centerpiece of their own tax policy agenda (my emphasis added):
What a commentary on the US approach to tax policy. The tax cuts are due to expire in the first place only because the Bush administration was cooking the books. The idea was to disguise the cuts' long-term cost, which is colossal. Making them permanent would cost nearly $4,000bn over 10 years. The Republicans always wanted the changes to be permanent. The sunset provision was just a feint to make them look affordable.
Democrats deplored the tax cuts as reckless – which they were – yet want mostly to preserve them. The middle-class part of the tax cuts, which they like, account for roughly three-quarters of the forgone revenue. Talk about having it both ways. Barack Obama organised his election campaign around this position. He complained of fiscal irresponsibility with one breath, then promised even lower taxes for most Americans – households making less than $250,000 a year, some 97 per cent of the total – with the next.
To the Republicans, fiscal responsibility is a fantasy sunset provision. To the Democrats, it is a tax increase confined to a sliver of the undeserving rich.
And he makes it clear that raising revenue to reduce the deficit doesn't have to involve trading off economic efficiency and growth–but pursuing such fiscally-responsible but economically-wise tax policy does require the President to break his troublesome campaign promise:
So broken is the US tax system – especially the federal income tax – that raising more revenue without increasing rates of tax is technically, though not politically, easy. The income tax base has been whittled away since the last big reform in 1986. Rates are not low by international standards, and their structure is already quite progressive; yet because they are applied to a slender base, the US income tax raises barely 8 per cent of gross domestic product. A broader base with lower, flatter rates could easily raise more revenue.
In addition, new taxes such as a value added tax and/or a carbon tax would be needed to bridge the remaining fiscal gap. These would make sense in their own right as part of the mix, even if there were no revenue shortfall. But the politics is so poisonous that these can barely even be mentioned. Instead, the debate is stuck in the mud of class warfare. All anybody cares about is whether the rich are paying their share. More than their share, say conservatives. Not nearly their share, say liberals. It is like Britain in the 1970s – not a good model.
The leadership that Mr Obama could provide on this is desperately needed. No doubt he understands what ought to be done, but the promise he made in 2008 has tied his hands. He will have to break that promise, and the sooner he does it the better.
And then by the next week, apparently Clive had gotten harassed by readers with arguments that I am well-familiar with ("but why would we raise taxes while the economy's still weak?"…"but the problem is spending is too high, not taxes are too low"), so that his next column clarified that "Obama has to cut–and raise taxes":
Last week I argued that sooner or later Barack Obama will have to break his election promise and raise taxes on the US middle class. It would be better not to renege just yet, I said: a double-dip US recession remains a distinct possibility and fiscal policy needs to stay loose for the time being. However, before much longer, restoring fiscal control is going to require higher taxes – and not just for the rich.
Many readers took issue with the article and they often started the same way: "What about public spending? You didn't say a word about spending."
No, and I should have. To control borrowing without ever-rising rates of taxation, Congress will have to curb currently projected spending. But that will not be enough by itself. It is delusional to think the US can get from here to a sustainable fiscal balance with spending cuts alone.
The problem with plans to reduce the deficit by spending-side changes alone? Clive explains there's just not enough spending to cut unless you really go after the big (dare-I-say) "entitlement" programs of Medicare and Social Security. The only plan out there that very clearly follows that strategy is Paul Ryan's "Roadmap" plan. But no one is really willing to live with such large cuts to Medicare as implied by the Ryan plan, not even Ryan's fellow Republicans:
What about Medicare? The recent healthcare reform includes some payment-system experiments intended to curb costs, though it would be rash to expect very much from these. Mr Ryan's plan is far more radical. Again he calls for privatisation. He wants to replace the government-run insurance scheme with vouchers, which recipients would use to buy private insurance. The plan then imposes a far slower rate of increase in the vouchers' value than in projected healthcare costs.
After many years, this wedge would drive Medicare spending way down – but unless costs fell commensurately, the vouchers would buy fewer treatments. No doubt, in this world, patients would force doctors and hospitals to supply services more economically. It is hard to believe that this could curb spending as sharply as Mr Ryan expects with no loss of healthcare quality.
In a way, Mr Ryan is right: dismantling Medicare and social security is what it takes if you rely on spending cuts alone. Can it be done? No. Republicans remember what happened to the Bush plan for social security and do not intend a rerun. During the healthcare debate, they furiously opposed cuts in Medicare. Do not trust Democrats to honour these government promises, the party says. So much for Mr Ryan's plan.
And Clive concludes his second column with a simple reminder that the fiscal math is simple but the choices hard:
You cannot hold Medicare and social security unscathed, oppose all tax increases and close the fiscal gap. The big entitlements plus defence and interest amount to some 80 per cent of federal spending. With those off the table, there is not enough left to cut.
That ain't no jive, Clive!

I didn't install the Apache mod, I just use it like it, directly from PHP using their pure PHP module. Anyway, using it with ISPConfig doesn't seem to work. I guess it's for some restriction reasons, because when I run it on my server's www root (where ISPConfig didn't modify anything, accessed directly from my server's IP), it works just like it should. But when I use it in a website's folder it totally screws the output. I don't get any error message, but I can clearly see something went wrong. The output is wrong and incomplete. I can't seem to find any information about this on the web, am I the only with this issue ? Before you suggest it though, I do not want to install the mod for Apache, I just want it to run from a folder. I never had problems before (using CPanel as my hosting panel, or using it locally). Thank you for your suggestions

Democrat Jerry Brown has moved into a narrow lead over Republican Meg Whitman in their fractious contest for governor, while his party colleague Barbara Boxer has opened a wider margin over GOP nominee Carly Fiorina in the race for U.S. Senate, a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll has found.
The Democratic candidates were benefiting from their party's dominance in California and the continued popularity here of President Obama, who has retained most of his strength in the state even as he has weakened in other parts of the country. Support for Obama may play a key role in the Senate contest, one of a handful nationally that could determine which party wins control of the chamber.
At the same time, the survey showed, Republicans Whitman and Fiorina have yet to convince crucial groups of voters that their business backgrounds will translate into government success.
Brown, the former governor and current attorney general, held a 49%-44% advantage among likely voters over Whitman, the billionaire former chief executive at EBay.

Is leaving a child in a car unattended a form of child abuse? Could you be guilty of neglect and not know it? If the spotlight of suspicion is cast on you, how should you react? Dr. Phil explores what happens and what to do when allegations of child abuse spiral out of control.
Abusive Parent?
Treffly is a mom of three who never thought she would be accused of breaking the law. But that's exactly what happened when she left her 2-year-old daughter alone in the car for a few minutes to run an errand just 30 feet away. She was handcuffed, fingerprinted and booked for child endangerment. The case sparked a flurry of opinions across the country.
The heated debate continues on Dr. Phil's stage.
Falsely Accused and Convicted
Lynn says her biggest regret in life is leaving her 13-year-old daughter home alone the night she was strangled to death. Not only was she grief stricken, Lynn was wrongly convicted of the crime and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. She says she was portrayed as a monster during her trial and called a baby-killer behind bars.
"It's like taking your hand, and just grabbing inside my chest and ripping my heart out."
Rebuilding the Bond
Although Lynn's conviction was overturned, and she was freed, life outside prison has been difficult. Her son, Ed, says he was yanked out of his mother's arms after his sister was killed, and he lived a difficult life in the foster care system. How can this mother and son reestablish their relationship?
Learn how you can help a child in foster care.
If You're Falsely Accused …
Would you know what to do if you were accused of a crime you didn't commit? It can happen to anyone at any time, so you need to be prepared.

There's a transformation a person undergoes when traveling to far less privileged places in the world, especially when those travels expose you to the untenable conditions in which so many children live and force you to think about ways you can make a difference.
Students in Pavani Ram's public health courses have the opportunity to undergo such a change through learning about public health issues in low- and middle-income countries and, in some cases, actually doing field research in these locales.
"What I want to do is inculcate a sense of purpose and passion among the students," says Ram, who teaches courses in global health and epidemiology of infectious disease in addition to mentoring master's and doctoral students at UB and other universities.
Through her teaching, Ram is able to open students' eyes to parts of the world that lack infrastructure, such as access to safe water and sanitation, critical to ensuring public health. Ram's research has taken her to Africa and South Asia, among others.
"There's a whole constellation of reasons why people in Africa and South Asia have these tremendous health concerns," she says. "It's not a lack of ability or capability, but a complex set of conditions that set up the inequities that exist for public health in our world."
Ram relishes talking to students when they return from their field research journeys. "They come back with a new sense of purpose, a vigor for the work that we undertake," Ram says. "To me, one of the most precious times I have with students is the day they come back. To teach students who demonstrate intellectual curiosity is a joy for me."
One such student is Emily Fiore, who as an undergraduate recently took Ram's graduate level Global Health class. Fiore says Ram has been instrumental in her success as a student. "She is extremely knowledgeable and provided me with a comprehensive introduction to the health issues that plague low-income countries, as well as the successes and failures of the public health sector in combating these issues," says Fiore, who just finished the fourth year of a five-year dual degree program in biology and anthropology.
After graduating, Fiore wants to go to medical school to work in the global health sector. "Dr. Ram's class helped foster this passion by exposing me to the issues in a scientific fashion," Fiore says, adding that Ram has continued to mentor her.
"Despite her involvement with current public health projects, Dr. Ram has still found the time to serve as my faculty adviser for an independent research project I am conducting on the burden of disease of landmines in a post-conflict setting. She has found time to discuss with me my future plans, and has always been sure to remind me of my value as a woman in science."
While there's great satisfaction in helping to address major public health problems around the world, Ram says she most enjoys the interactions she has with students. "Teaching, both in the classroom and in one-on-one mentoring relationships, rewards me tremendously, both professionally and personally," Ram says.
We want to hear about what you are doing in the field of global health. UB faculty, staff, and students, please send us articles highlighting your work!

Mobile retailing has been added to your bookmarks.
Mobile retailing
Are you ready for radical change?
Can a retailer afford not to think about the ways that mobile technologies are changing the how, when, and what of selling? According to Deloitte research, by 2016, smartphones, used as part of a shopping experience, could impact 17-21 percent of retail sales—a whopping $627-$752 billion. If you are not preparing for that today, you are already behind the curve.
Mobile technology is making possible the constantly connected consumer, and that is already impacting many parts of a retailer's business: from operating models to cross-channel integration, from talent recruitment and compensation to IT investment, and from data mining to inventory management.
When it comes to taking advantage of the mobile revolution, there is no "one size fits all" solution. However, there are several implications of mobile retailing that are emerging as universal:
- When customers know more, they buy more
- Data analytics is a "must have" capability
- Instant gratification is the retailer's best friend
- The boundaries between social media and retail apps are blurring
- Mobile payments are more efficient for everyone
- Mobile-empowered associates may deliver better service to shoppers
- An app alone will not do it…

Shelton Developer released from prison
SHELTON -- A Shelton developer convicted of buying city officials' approval for his multimillion-dollar Bridgeport Avenue project is out of federal prison and in a halfway house.
James A. Botti, 51, formerly of Maple Avenue, was released from the federal correctional institution in Morgantown, W.Va., to a halfway house on Aug. 26, according to Victoria Joseph, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
Joseph said Botti will remain in the facility until about Feb. 19, at which point he will be free to return to Shelton. At that time he begins a three-year term of supervision by the U.S. Probation Department.
Joseph would not disclose the location of the halfway house where Botti is now.
In Connecticut, the federal prison bureau has contracts with the Chase Center in Waterbury, where former state Sen. Ernest Newton of Bridgeport completed his federal prison term, and the Watkinson House in Hartford where former Bridgeport Mayor Joseph P. Ganim finished his sentence.
At the halfway house, Botti, a divorced father of three boys, will be slowly transitioned back into society. He will be required to perform daily chores, find a job and pay for room and board while living there. He will be allowed to keep $40 a week, but must deposit whatever remaining salary he has in a bank account.
Rooms are shared, but residents can have their own television, compact disc player or radio.
Books, television shows and reading material are screened by the staff, which prohibits items that are sexually explicit, promote hatred or glorify violence.
After several weeks of good behavior, residents can become eligible for a daytime home pass and later for a full-day home pass. Some are transferred to home confinement to complete the final weeks of their sentence.
Botti was targeted as part of an eight-year-long probe into alleged municipal corruption here.
The investigation led to the convictions of Peter Botti -- Botti's father; Elliot Wilson, the city's building official; and Robert Scinto, another well-heeled and well-respected developer.
Peter Botti was sentenced to a year's probation and fined $3,000 for helping his son hide cash transactions.
Wilson received a five-month prison term followed by five-months home confinement in 2011 for lying to a federal grand jury about gifts he received from Scinto and James Botti.
Scinto was sentenced to six months in prison for making false statements to the FBI.
Federal prosecutors had alleged that James Botti and Scinto provided Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti with gifts over the years. However, they never charged Lauretti with any crime and the mayor repeatedly denied the allegations..
Botti was convicted in two separate federal trials before Senior U.S. District Judge Charles W. Haight Jr.
In 2009, a jury found him guilty of structuring cash transactions in amounts under $10,000 to avoid having them reported to the IRS.
The following year, Botti was convicted of mail fraud by denying Shelton residents the right to honest service by their government officials.
That charge stemmed from his providing gifts and services to some members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, who were considering approval for his 828 Bridgeport Ave. project.
That development houses a TD Bank branch, a hotel and a Chili's and Longhorn restaurants.

30 in 30: Goal production is Coyotes' prime questionby Tal Pinchevsky
Long a picture of consistency, the Phoenix Coyotes took an unexpected step backward last season. A year after advancing to the Western Conference Final, the Coyotes missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2009 after posting a 21-18-9 record.
They started 2-4-2, and a seven-game losing streak in March effectively undid their season. Throw in nagging injuries to goaltender Mike Smith and a serious second-half scoring drought from young forward Mikkel Boedker, and the Coyotes were unable to find their stride.
The summer was highlighted by the addition offensive-minded forwards, Mike Ribeiro through free agency and Max Domi at the 2013 NHL Draft. But the 2013-14 Coyotes likely will display the solid two-way play that has been a team signature since coach Dave Tippett took over in 2009.
If the Coyotes hope to return to the postseason, they'll need to answer these six questions:
1. Can Mike Ribeiro shine under coach Dave Tippett? -- Ribeiro enjoyed the best run of his career when he played for Tippett with the Dallas Stars. In their two seasons before Tippett was fired by the Stars in 2009, Ribeiro had 83 points and 78 points, collecting a career-high 56 assists each seasons.
It's part of the reason Tippett sold general manager Don Maloney on signing the 33-year-old as a free agent after he had 49 points in 48 games last season with the Washington Capitals.
"The big move was signing Mike Ribeiro. He gives us a legitimate top center," Tippett said. "He understands the game very well. I think his skill level is something we didn't have and needed to add to our group. I've had some real good experience with him. I think he'll be a great fit for our team."
If Ribeiro is able to recapture the flair he had playing under Tippett in Dallas, the Coyotes could have a legitimate playmaking center for the first time since the high-flying teams of the mid-1990s that featured Keith Tkachuk and Jeremy Roenick.
2. Will Mike Smith rebound? -- In 2011-12, Smith's first season with the Coyotes, the goaltender posted career highs in wins, shutouts, save percentage and minutes. Last season he took a step back, struggling with some nagging injuries and failing to make the plays that established him as a franchise goaltender. His wins dropped from 38 to 15 and his goals-against average increased from 2.21 to 2.58.
Despite a difficult 2012-13 season, the Coyotes showed their commitment to Smith by signing him to a six-year, $34 million contract.
"Mike Smith over the past two years has shown us he can play at an elite level," Maloney told NHL.com. "Last year we believe there were a lot of factors that led to him having what we would consider an average season. Between the short season, his injuries, his contract, we just felt that year was hard on a lot of goaltenders. We believe Mike can be one of the best goaltenders in the game. We believe we have the style and infrastructure that can put him in that category. That includes our style of play and [goaltending coach] Sean Burke's tutelage."
3. Who will step up offensively? -- With their franchise goaltender signed to a long-term extension and a veteran blue line, the Coyotes' defense should continue to be a strong suit -- especially under Tippett's coaching system, which preaches defensive responsibility. But the offense continues to be a point of concern.
In previous seasons, Phoenix's offense ranked around the middle of the League, providing just enough scoring to keep a defensively sound squad moving along. But that offense took a dip in 2012-13 to 21st in the League, a troubling statistic magnified by the worst power play in the Western Conference. Ribeiro will help with the power play and overall scoring, but it's clear someone else will have to step up to provide additional punch.
Maloney and Tippett have mentioned they will look to a strong incoming rookie class to help, but it's clear some veterans will have to ramp up their offensive contributions. Which leads perfectly into the next big question for the Coyotes ...
4. Will Mikkel Boedker break out? -- Since being drafted No. 8 by Phoenix in 2008, Boedker has been looked to as a potential source of scoring from the wing. His 2011-12 season gave the impression the Dane was poised to break out. Boedker tied a career high with 11 goals before getting eight points and two game-winning goals in the Coyotes' run to the conference final.
With five points in his first five games last season, Boedker looked as if he would take the next step. Boedker had 16 points through 21 games but struggled in the second half; in his final 27 games he had three goals and 10 points, including a final 10 games that saw him get two assists with a minus-3 rating.
5. How much younger will the Coyotes get? -- For the past few seasons the Coyotes have relied on a smart, veteran core headed by Shane Doan, who over the years has established himself as one of the best captains in hockey. During that time, Phoenix was able to stockpile a collection of prospects that ranks among the best in the game. After the team missed the playoffs last season, the time of waiting for those prospects to develop appears to be over.
"I think there are some guys who are going to come in and really push for jobs," Tippett said. "We've got some young players there who are ready to push. This will be the most competitive training camp in my four years in Phoenix. We're really looking forward to see the levels these young players can get to."
The team firmly has established which players will make up the third and fourth forward lines, so it's likely that a number of prospects will get a long look toward getting time on one of the top two scoring lines. Despite being 18, Domi will get a good look in training camp, along with a number of top-flight prospects, including Lucas Lessio and Chris Brown, each coming off an outstanding season.
The Phoenix back end is firmly established, but Tippett and Maloney said they are open to adding a rookie or two to that mix.
6. How much will the loss of Boyd Gordon hurt? -- In the summer of 2012, Phoenix's leading scorer, Ray Whitney, left to sign a two-year contract with the Dallas Stars. At the time, that was a glaring loss for a Coyotes team that struggled to score goals without the veteran forward. This summer the Coyotes again lost an important piece, although it wasn't nearly as big a name.
Forward Boyd Gordon's three-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers didn't make major news across the hockey world, but he could prove to be a costly loss in Phoenix, where he spent the previous two seasons.
Gordon never put up huge offensive numbers for the Coyotes, although he did score a career-high eight goals in 2011-12. However, he was the embodiment of Tippett's system, a responsible defensive forward who consistently could win faceoffs and battles while displaying a very strong hockey IQ. He also was a key contributor on the penalty kill. The Coyotes were sad to see Gordon go, and they'll need to see if another veteran (Kyle Chipchura) or perhaps a newer player (Rob Klinkhammer) can fill the void.
"Gordon is a player we didn't want to lose," Tippett said. "But Chipchura had a very good season for us last year so we feel he can fit that role on the fourth line."For all 30 in 30 stories go to NHL.com/30in30stories and for the full 30 in 30 schedule visit NHL.com/30in30.

Previous owners can do some wild things. PO of my sickle mower had a stack of several washers on that shaft. Perhaps not quite as thick as a pulley, but pretty close. Without pics, it's a shot in the dark on figuring out his problem. I agree that most likely something else is off kilter.

HAPPY CAMP – An elderly Happy Camp resident sustained injuries when a fire ignited at her Park Lane home on Wednesday morning. The house was rendered a complete loss, stated Happy Camp Fire Chief Tom Mopas.
Happy Camp fire crews were the first to arrive on scene, followed by units from Klamath River Fire Company and the US Forest Service as well as a Mutual Aid Unit from Yreka Fire Department.
"When crews arrived, the fire was fully involved and it had vented out the front," Mopas said.
The resident, who was alone at the 800-square-foot home, sustained burns to her face and shoulders. She was transported to Fairchild Medical Center for treatment for her injuries.
"From what I understand she is doing fine," commented Mopas.
He said the investigation revealed that the fire was ignited as a result of an unattended cooking pan in the kitchen.
It took crews 45 minutes to extinguish the blaze. Mopas said the main fire was contained in the kitchen but the entire house sustained smoke and water damage.
Mopas added that the fire did not spread to adjacent structures or vegetation.

I think of you as fellow travelers. We are, after all, living our lives in sync, reading the same news, reacting to the same events. We turn the same calendar pages, and our history will be a common record of these days. I think of you as fellow travelers as well because I have shared so much of my life with you on this page. And so, you are invited along on this journey Down Under.
To travel or not to travel; for many folks, it's a real dilemma. You don't have to think too long to find reasons not to go: terrorist threats, tsunamis, earthquakes and crime are just the big-ticket items. Then there are the airports, no fun anymore, and the strange food and the expense. And, of course, there are the health issues, both real (New Delhi street food) and imagined.
My husband and I have had our share of health issues, but a long time ago we decided that we either were going to live within a block of a major hospital or we were going to see the world. We chose plan B.
In that spirit, we planned this adventure one year ago, when I was finishing treatment for breast cancer. My husband pushed me to make plans, and here we are, despite my fears that it would never come to pass. I offer this to those of you going through "stuff": Better days lie ahead. Fight your dragons as best you can. Adventures await.
Speaking of which . . .
We took four boats this morning from our ship, the Seabourn Odyssey, to get to Komodo Island, our first stop in Indonesia since leaving Bali. First was the ship's tender, then each vessel was smaller than the last until we were just six people in a boat. Not that many people from the ship chose this outing.
We carried backpacks, hats and water, and were told to use lots of bug spray. We were off to see the wild Komodo dragons that live only on this uninhabited island in the Pacific. The literature described them as "weighing in at more than 300 pounds, menacing creatures, with sharp, saw-like teeth — surprisingly agile over short distances." We could go ashore only with a local ranger.
We were told not to go if we had any wounds or if we were menstruating. They said the dragons are aggressive, and they can smell blood a mile away (remember that part).

- We had a UDS session on LightDM which also gave some good feedback. The outcome is that I plan to make LightDM easily installable in Ubuntu 11.04 as an alternative display manager.

Little Giants Split Sunday Games with Wilmingtonby Brent Harris • March 20, 2011 Share:
Wabash took three out of four games in its weekend baseball series against Wilmington College. The Little Giants won Sunday's first game 11-5 before falling in extra innings 10-8. Wabash won both of Saturday's games against the Quakers.
The hits continued in game one for the Little Giants at the brand new Wabash Ballpark. The team produced 16 total hits in the first game Sunday, starting with five in the first inning to score four runs. After two quick outs, John Holm opened up the hit parade with a double to center. He scored on a Montana Timmons single to right field. Timmons (left) moved to second on a single by Chris Deig, then scored on a single by Tanner Coggins. David Seibel brought home two more runs with a bases clearing double.
The Quakers tied the game with four runs of their own in the second. Wabash added two more runs in the second to retake the lead when John Pennington launched a two-run homer — his first of the season. Joe Johnson and Craig Shipley both singled in the third inning just before Brian Lares hit his first homer of the season to drive in three runs and blow the game open for Wabash with a 9-4 lead.
Wilmington and Wabash traded runs in the fourth. The Little Giants scored when Coggins doubled with two outs, then scored on a RBI single by Seibel. Seibel added another RBI with a sacrifice fly to score Deig in the sixth inning.
Sophomore Chris Widup earned the victory for Wabash to move to 2-3 for the season. He worked five innings as the starter. He scattered 11 hits and gave up five runs with two walks and two strikeouts. Luke Holm pitched the final two innings, throwing just 18 pitches to six batters. He had one strikeout and hit one batter.
Wabash fell behind early in game two, trailing 1-0 after the first and 4-0 through 3-1/2 innings. The Little Giants rallied for two runs in the bottom of the fourth on a solo homer by Timmons and an RBI single by PJ Tyson. After trading runs in the fifth inning thank to an RBI single by Timmons, Wabash tied the game with two more in the sixth. Joe Johnson singled home Seibel after the senior reached on a double. Holm singled home another run to even the score at 5-5.
Wilmington (4-7) exploded for three more runs in the seventh, but Wabash rallied for three of its own in the bottom half of the inning. A two-run double by Seibel (right) and an RBI single by Lares forced extra innings, but the Quakers did all the scoring damage with two runs in the eighth. Wabash put two runners on base in the bottom of the eighth, but could not bring the tying run home.
Eric Foust took the loss, giving up one run in 2/3 of an inning. Luke Zinsmaster started the game, working five innings with five runs scoring on a nine hits. He walked one and struck out one. Nate Adams threw 1-1/3 innings of relief with two hits and three runs allowed. He walked two and posted two strikeouts. JT Miller and Luke Holm each worked a portion of the extra inning. Holm gave up one hit, while Miller surrendered one run on a walk and wild pitch.
Seibel finished the day with six total RBI, giving him a team-best 26 through 17 games. He had four hits total in two games, as did Timmons and Coggins.
Wabash (6-11) heads into a busy week of baseball over the next seven days. The Little Giants play host to Dominican University on Tuesday afternoon at Wabash Ballpark, then travel to Purdue University on Wednesday afternoon. Wabash opens North Coast Athletic Conference play on Saturday when the College of Wooster travels to Crawfordsville for two seven-inning games. Wittenberg will come to Crawfordsville for two NCAC games on Sunday afternoon.

Dachshund Mini AKC Chocolate Smooth Male (#1) $800.00 07/17/2015
Ready to go 09/11/2015
English Cream Male born 05/09/2015
$200 deposit holds your puppy
Check out our website for more information and pictures of parents.
They will get to be about 9 - 11 pounds. They have a wonderful personality, love to cuddle and can be placed with other animals, children or by themselves. They love to play and are so fun to watch them run around. They have multiple Champions in their background from both sides. We have both AKC parents on the premises, and their parents have wonderful dispositions. The puppies are sold as pet only. We are a small breeder and each of our dogs is a part of our family. We have been breeding for over 15 years and have made many wonderful friends throughout the years, which we still keep in contact with.
We strive to breed excellent quality Miniature Dachshund puppies by owning what we consider to be the best quality dogs we can find. Our Dachshund puppies are home raised, well socialized, come with a one year health guarantee and have their first set of shots and wormed. Much thought and consideration has gone into finding dogs that not only come from proven bloodlines but also display other vital aspects such as long-term generational health, temperament and conformation.
My goal as a Dachshund breeder is to produce superior puppies that are excellent representations of the Dachshund breed. I aim to produce healthy, wonderfully adjusted family companions, a dachshund their owners would be proud to own and can enjoy for years to come.
The Long hair is what I call maintenance free as you dont need to take them to the groomers or brush them. Their hair is very soft but not very long. The Silky Wire hair is very soft and grows, some like to keep it long and others a little shorter. The Smooth or short hair is very sleek and tight to the body.

Art theft is an ancient and complicated criminal activity. When you take a look at the some of the most well-known cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that include art dealerships, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and countless dollars. Here you can check out some of the most famous cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:
The very first recorded case of art theft was in 1473, when 2 panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were stolen. While the triptych was being carried by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was attacked by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is revealed at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was just recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
The Most Famous Theft:
The most well-known story of art theft includes one of the most well-known paintings in the world and one of the most popular artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen out of the Louver. Quickly after, Pablo Picasso was arrested and questioned by the authorities, however was launched rapidly.
It turned out that the 30 × 21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum workers by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who simply carried it concealed under his coat. The criminal activity was thoroughly conducted by a notorious con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent out by an art faker who intended to make copies and offer them as if they were the initial painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was hectic developing copies for the popular work of art, Mona Lisa was still concealed at Peruggias home. After 2 years where Peruggia did not speak with Chaudron, he attempted to make the finest out of his stolen good. Eventually, Peruggia was caught by the cops while aiming to offer the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was gone back to the Louver in 1913.
The Most significant Theft in the U.S.A:
The most significant art theft in United States occurred at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of thieves using authorities uniforms broke into the museum and took thirteen paintings whose cumulative value was approximated Kurt Criter Denver at around 300 million dollars. The thieves took 2 paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, in addition to a French and a Chinese artifact.
As of yet, none of the paintings have actually been discovered and the case is still unsolved. Inning accordance with recent rumors, the FBI are examining the possibility that the Boston Mob along with French art dealers are connected to the crime.
The Scream:
The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is most likely the most sought after painting by art thieves in history. It has actually been stolen two times and was only just recently recovered. In 1994, throughout the https://www.quora.com/profile/Kurt-Criter Winter Season Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, The Scream was taken from an Oslo gallery by 2 thieves who broke through an open window, triggered the alarm and left a note saying: thanks for the bad security.
Three months later, the holders of the painting approached the Norwegian Government with an offer: 1 million dollars ransom for Edvard Munchs The Scream. The Government declined the offer, however the Norwegian police teamed up with the British Cops and the Getty Museum to organize a sting operation that restored the painting to where it belongs.
While Museum officials waiting for the burglars to demand ransom loan, rumors declared that both paintings were burned to conceal proof. Ultimately, the Norwegian cops found the 2 paintings on August 31, 2006 however the realities on how they were recovered are not known.
When you look at the some of the most popular cases of art thefts in history, you see completely prepared operations that include art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. The most famous story of art theft involves one of the most popular paintings in the world and one of the most popular artists in history as a suspect. The criminal activity was carefully conducted by a notorious con male, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent out by an art faker who meant to make copies and sell them as if they were the initial Kurt Criter Denver painting.
Ultimately, Peruggia was caught by the cops while attempting to offer the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is probably the most looked for after painting by art thieves in history.

Concentration in French
The French Concentration (26 credits) provides students with the basic lexical and grammatical foundations for reading, writing, speaking and understanding the spoken word in French. It also incorporates the study of culture in the Francophone world. Francophone literature is also introduced at the upper division level. Students have the opportunity to travel and study abroad for a summer or a semester. Teaching certification for French in grades K-12 may be earned.
The goals of the program are to provide a quality language-learning experience so that the student is capable of communicating with native speakers and to provide a body of cultural knowledge so that the student is able to relate cross-culturally to the native speaker. The French program at Evangel is designed to take the student from the novice to the lower-advanced level. A student who has studied French in high school may enter the program at a higher level of instruction in college and therefore earn the concentration or minor more quickly. Proficiency in French, rather than credit hours earned, determines a student's placement. Proficiency is evaluated by an examination and an interview. Summer and regular-semester study-abroad opportunities reinforce the classroom experience, making the French language and culture come alive.
Program Plan (pdf)
|Want to see exactly what classes you will take? The Program Plan (sometimes called a degree sheet) includes all specific requirements - including University proficiencies, Frameworks courses and degree requirements.

In World Series, riveting matchups to keep eye on
The 2013 World Series features two iconic baseball teams. Both the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals boast some of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans in the game. High expectations come with the territory.

The 2013 World Series features two iconic baseball teams. Both the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals boast some of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans in the game. High expectations come with the territory.
There are a few matchups in the days ahead that could tip the balance of the series. There are a few potential team contrasts that intrigue me.View Full Game Coverage
From a scouting perspective, I'll be looking at how well Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina handles the running game of the Red Sox. Especially Jacoby Ellsbury.
During the regular season, Ellsbury stole 52 bases while being caught stealing only four times. He sets the table for the heart of the batting order by getting on base and stealing second. The antidote for Ellsbury's poison pill could be Molina. He threw out an outstanding 43 percent of runners trying to steal this past season. Molina has a career average of 45 percent over his 10 Major League seasons.
Much will depend upon whether the Cards' pitching staff can keep Ellsbury from getting too great a lead on his stolen-base attempts.
A slow pitcher will get the ball to home plate in 1.5 seconds or more from the time his hands separate in his stretch. To nail a runner like Ellsbury, three things have to occur: The pitcher must keep him close to first base, the pitch must reach the catcher's glove in 1.2 to 1.3 seconds at the most, and the catcher must get the ball to second base in less than 2.0 seconds. If any of those three factors are not realized, Ellsbury should be standing on second, the base stolen.
I'm also intrigued at how well David Ortiz will hit against Adam Wainwright and Michael Wacha.
Ortiz is the hitter in the Red Sox's lineup who can do the most damage. Ask the Detroit Tigers.
Left-handed batters hit .242 against Wainwright this past season. That was less than the .254 produced by right-handed batters. He issued only 10 walks, while striking out 111 right-handed hitters. The ratio was good against lefties as well. Wainwright struck out 108 left-handed hitters, while walking 25.
Ortiz hit .339 against right-handed pitching. He struck out only 54 times in 384 plate appearances. Ortiz also hit 23 home runs.
How Wainwright and Wacha in particular handle Ortiz could be telling. If the World Series goes seven games, the slugger might see both those pitchers twice.
Finally, I think the closers for both clubs will play crucial roles in this series. They are extremely different in their approach.
Boston closer Koji Uehara has an elastic arm. I believe he could pitch every day if needed. Uehara is the type of pitcher who can get warm in the bullpen quickly, needing little time to prepare to enter a game.
Uehara has outstanding command and control of two pitches. He throws a devastating split-finger pitch at 81 mph and an 89 mph fastball. But everything moves. And Uehara throws strikes.
Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal's fastball sits at 98-99 mph, with an occasional 100 mph for good measure. He also throws an 89 mph changeup along with an 82 mph curveball that changes the balance and the eye levels of the hitters. But Rosenthal can tend to lose control at times.
While the closers couldn't be more different in their approaches, they have one thing in common. They can both slam the door shut on the opposition by making great pitches under pressure.
Those are some of the things I'll be watching as the World Series unfolds.

Furry Friends Friday 4/23/10April 23, 2010 at 00:34 | Posted in Carnival of Genealogy, Furry Friends Friday, memories | Leave a comment
Tags: Carnival of Genealogy, famiglia, family, memories, pets
Life has been hectic and filled with sad endings as well as happy new beginnings.
One of the sad occasions was the farewell we had to give our beloved English Bulldog Contessa Bue (Countess Bull for the non-Italian speakers) – or as we called her, Baby. She was with us for ten joyful and love filled years. One of my sons bought her as a new pup and she immediately became the dowager of the family! She controlled and trained us well! Horribly she was the product of a disreputable breeder and pet store – so disreputable, the animal control and licensing folks shut the store down. In spite of her disabilities, she was playful almost to the end and positively gentle and loving. Where I went, she followed. My son claimed I spoiled her rotten and I have to admit I did. What Baby wanted, she got always! What she wanted was tons of affection and her back to be scratched – both easy chores for us! When it was obvious she was suffering too much, we made our final goodbyes. My heart broke watching her suffer and I wanted to spare her any additional pain. Letting her pass quietly at home was no longer an option. She is at peace now but she will always be part of our family and memories!
My dear sons realized I was aching so they took it upon themselves to research a dog breed that would live a long life if properly cared for. We had also lost an English Springer about 3 years previously so I was afraid to lose another pampered pet Sir Bramble Patch also had a long life (ten years) and was a member of the family so we knew we would not want another loss too soon. We love the concepts behind Rescue Pets so that was our first choice to find a new little one. Soon enough my sons found a beautiful 10 week old Rat Terrier pup through one of the local organizations. She is spayed and micro-chipped already and is housebroken. Within moments she was ours as she snuggled with first me and then Valentino. By the first morning she decided it is her job to wake everyone so she makes the rounds from room to room to gently lick faces good morning!
If you have never considered a Rescue Pet, please do so. Some are abused, some were given up because owners could no longer care for them, and some are puppies or kittens that need a good home. Often Rescue Organizations will rescue abandoned animals from kill shelters when they are in danger of being euthanized. Please consider this instead of encouraging puppy mills that subject their "breeder moms" to horrendous conditions. Those pups will often suffer as a result of congenital problems. Most Rescue Organizations try to care for the animals in home settings so they are aware of not only health conditions but also any personality quirks.
Our new little one was one of those special ones as her mama was found in a dumpster with her pups. We are grateful someone took the time to rescue them because we cannot imagine life without her already!
Meet Sophia – named for a famous Italian Sophia, of course!

By Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - In its first appearance in the Pilgrim Lacrosse League Tournament since 2001, the No. 3 seeded MIT men's lacrosse team fell to No. 2 Wheaton College, 14-7, on Wednesday. Ryan Ballentine led the Engineers (7-8) with two goals and two assists as Dylan Roden posted two goals, an assist, and four groundballs. Neil Zimmerman tallied one goal and five groundballs while Corey Garvey and Eric Zuk each contributed four groundballs. Patrick Shannon added five groundballs as Garth Grove collected 11 saves.
Warren Garceau provided the hosts with a 1-0 lead not even three minutes into the contest, connecting on a feed from Ben Cederberg at 12:04. The first quarter's final two goals came in a 10-second span. Ballentine found Zimmerman for a game-tying score at 1:10, but at the one-minute mark, Cederberg assisted Chris Landers, giving the Lyons a 2-1 edge heading into the second period.
After the two teams exchanged goals to start the second, Wheaton scored the next two over 2:59, including Landers' second tally at 2:47, to make the score 5-2. With 12 ticks on the clock, Ballentine brought the Engineers to within two on a pass from Roden.
Roden kept the pressure on by scoring 55 seconds into the third and narrowing MIT's deficit to 5-4 before the Lyons gained control. Wheaton went on a 5-0, period-ending run to secure a comfortable 10-4 advantage. Landers began the flurry by picking up the hat trick at 9:33 before eventually capping the stretch with his fourth goal at the 11-second mark. Cederberg, Garceau and Conor Finn also found the back of the net during the run.
The hosts stayed on the attack to begin the fourth, as the nation's eighth-best man-up offense converted at 14:09, with Cederberg assisting Billy McNamara for an 11-4 Lyon advantage. The Engineers narrowed the gap with a three-goal spurt that spanned almost four minutes. Shannon started the run by setting up Ballentine, which was followed by an unassisted goal from Roden. Ballentine then found Ernie Park for a man-up strike to cap the run. Wheaton countered with three goals of its own, including the last two on man-up opportunities. McNamara had back-to-back tallies in a 1:50 span, while Landers wrapped up the scoring at 2:54.

Montville holds off Waterford behind Crowley's six TDs
Montville — His team had just won its fourth straight game Friday night, scored 41 points and tied Ledyard for the lead in the Medium Division of the Eastern Connecticut Conference.
And yet Tanner Grove, the coach at Montville High School, commenced with a rather monumental spleen venter in the postgame state of the union, railing about every detail of his team's 41-37 win over Waterford.
"Outside of six running plays," Grove said, alluding to Jeremiah Crowley's six touchdown runs, "I didn't like a thing we did. We didn't do anything right on defense or in the kicking game. That's my fault. I didn't have everyone as locked in this week as maybe they needed to be.
"I think the kids got caught up looking down the road. We had put up a few wins and they overlooked a quality Waterford team. I know as well as the kids that Waterford might not have had the athletic matchups in this game, but we played as poorly as we could."
Notable exception: Crowley. His 27 carries and 346 yards included scoring runs of 16, 79, 1, 14, 8 and 51 yards. The 51-yarder came moments after Crowley took a cleat to the throat and was momentarily gasping for breath on the field. The TD gave Montville a 41-23 lead at the time.
Turns out the Indians (4-2, 2-0) needed it. Waterford (2-4, 1-3) rallied late. Waterford coach Mike Ellis, whose team amassed 413 total yards, was far more satisfied with his team's effort than his counterpart.
"I think when you take a look at years past, Montville expects to beat Waterford and I don't think Montville expects it to be a close game," Ellis said. "I think they thought they should have put us away and we hung in there."
Indeed. Quarterback Seth Hoagland hit Isaiah Jones and Dan Martin with late touchdown passes to pull the Lancers close. Hoagland finished 8-for-17 for 211 yards and three touchdowns, the third of which went to senior Donny Craig earlier in the game.
Waterford fullback Joe Gustafson ran 21 times for 166 yards.
But every time the Lancers got close, they were unable to slow Crowley, who has already eclipsed 1,000 yards for the season.
"He has a low center of gravity and is very patient," Ellis said. "He sits behind blockers and as soon as you close in, he's very good at feeling contact and spinning out of it. And because he stays low to the ground, he remains in a power position. A couple of times we hit him pretty good and he kept going."
Grove: "My most favorite part of him is that he might be the only kid I've met in my career who wants to win as much as I do. A fierce competitor."

WESTFIELD, Mass. – Senior quarterback Matthew Rende (Augusta, Maine) rushed for 151 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns to lead Maine Maritime Academy to a 36-34 double overtime victory over Westfield State University in a New England Football Conference Bogan Division game on Saturday, Oct. 8.
The Mariners, who rallied from a 14-0 deficit, improved to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the Bogan Divison. The Owls dropped to 2-4 and 1-2. It was the second overtime setback in three weeks for Westfield, who lost at home to Worcester State in triple overtime, 42-40, on Sept. 24.
Rende turned in the biggest play of the game with 10:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. He ripped off a 74-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-one situation from the Mariners' 26-yard line. Rende broke thru the Owls' goal line defense and cut to his left, outracing a Westfield defender down the left sideline.
Rende's long run made the score 21-19 as the Mariners had an extra point blocked by Owl defensive end Chris Walker in the third quarter. Maine Maritime knotted the score at 21-all when fullback Tom Marcisso (Scarborough, Maine) rushed for the two-point conversion.
Maine Maritime had an opportunity to win the game in regulation but Michael Brennan's (Manchester, Maine) 36-yard field goal attempt was wide right with 4:53 remaining.
In the first overtime, the Owls took a 28-21 lead on a three-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Steve Guercio to tight end Jake Storey in the back of the end zone. Kennan Startzell remained perfect in PATs this season by splitting the uprights.
Maine Maritime tied the score at 28-28 on its first possession when Rende lofted a pass in the right flat to running back Nick Bourassa (Jay, Maine) for a 24-yard touchdown.
The Mariners had the first possession in the second overtime and scored on the first play when Rende scampered 25 yards, breaking several tackles, for a touchdown. In the all-important conversion attempt, the Mariners opted to go for two points. Marcisso bulled his way across the goal line from three yards out to make the score 36-28.
Westfield responded by scoring a touchdown on a 12-yard pass, rifled thru two defenders, from Guercio to Storey. The Owls were unable to convert the two-point conversion and Guercio lofted a pass to Justin Karrat in the right corner of the end zone that glanced off his fingertips.
The Owls started strongly, stopping the Mariners dangerous triple option while the Westfield offensive line opened huge holes for the running backs. Westfield opened the scoring on its first drive on a 51-yard touchdown run by freshman Michael Mercadante, who rushed for a game-high 186 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns.
Westfield took a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 12-play, 55-yard scoring drive that was set up by a fumble recovery by defensive tackle Cam Green. Sophomore running back Brian Beauchemin, who finished with 65 yards rushing on 19 carries, scored from the two-yard line to make it 14-0.
Maine Maritime finally got its option clicking in the second quarter. Pinned inside their own one-yard line after Joey Shisler downed a Dan Dowling punt, the Mariners marched 99 yards in 18 plays, scoring on Bourassa's three-yard plunge with 3:57 left in the first half.
The Mariners scored midway through the third period when Bourassa capped a 10-play, 58-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown run. The scoring drive started after Westfield just missed moving the sticks on a fake punt attempt and the Mariners took over on downs. Walker blocked the PAT as Westfield remained ahead, 14-13.
The Owls took a 21-13 lead late in the third quarter on a one-yard TD run by Mercadante. The seven-play 32-yard drive was set up by Erik Wellhoff's 13-yard interception return.
Westfield had its best rushing attack of the season, with 259 yards on 50 carries. Guercio completed 10 of 17 passes for 86 yards and two scores in his first collegiate start.
The Mariners racked up 359 yards rushing on 67 carries. Ian Champeon (Dover-Foxcroft, Maine) rushed for 116 yards on 26 carries and Bourassa had 75 yards on 15 totes.
Brock Lawrence (Benton, Maine) led the Mariners defensively with 10 tackles and an interception that thwarted an Owl scoring threat late in the first half. Alex Hermes (Fallsington, Pa.) also had 10 tackles. Westfield linebacker Justin Ehrhardt posted a game-high 12 tackles and strong safety Ryan O'Connell had nine tackles and an interception.
Maine Maritime returns to action next Saturday against Framingham State.

Goals from Ched Evans, Chris Porter and Stephen Quinn gave Sheffield United a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Colchester.
Evans was quick off the mark, scoring from close-range in the third minute when he was left unmarked following a corner.
After being left exposed again following another defensive lapse, Colchester keeper Mark Cousins was beaten by Porter's 12th-minute chip.
Colchester's Anthony Wordsworth twice went close in the first-half, putting a free-kick just over and then seeing his low shot turned wide by Steve Simonsen.
Simonsen also kept out Andrew Bond, who was through on goal, but it was the Colchester goal which was most under threat. A header from Evans came back off the bar while Porter and Quinn had efforts which went close before the interval.
The woodwork twice came to Colchester's rescue in the second half, from Porter and Matt Lowton, before Quinn wrapped up the win after 71 minutes following Evans' lay-off.

Enjoy yourselves, and as always, check Groupon for even more great things to do in DC. Evita at the Kennedy Center Opera House Foggy Bottom | Through October 19 Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony-winning musical about Argentina's beloved Eva Peron closes this week after a critically acclaimed stop on its national tour. Washingtonian theater critic Jane Horwitz applauds Caroline Bowman's turn as Ms. Peron, saying the star ''plays the difficult, vocally challenging role with skill and precision.'' (2700 F St. NW; $39; buy tickets here) Family Hike at Little Bennett Regional Park Clarksburg, MD | Saturday, October 11 Families meet at Wilson Mill parking lot on Clarksburg Road before taking a guided tour of the park to learn about local wildlife and native trees dressed in fall colors. During the morning tour, guides will add their own insights regarding the ways area wildlife changes and adapts during the arrival of autumn. (23701 Frederick Rd., Clarksburg, MD; $10, free for kids; buy tickets here) Taste of DC on Pennsylvania Avenue National Mall | Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12 More than 40 restaurants will turn Pennsylvania Avenue into an open-air festival, setting up stalls to dispense lobster rolls, crepes, cuban sandwiches, and more. Between bites, guests can sip one of 50+ samples at the Stella Artois Beer Garden or the Wine Walk, or take in tunes from house musician Joe Maye and acoustic rockers the Dan McGuire Band. (Pennsylvania Ave., 9th–14th Sts. NW; $10; buy tickets here) Masters of Illusion at Warner Theatre Penn Quarter | Thursday, October 16 Based on the CW show, Masters of Illusion doubles up on the magic by taking time-tested tricks and making them more mind-bendingly crazy. For example, the magicians saw a woman in half, but this time, she's in a transparent box. During another trick, the performers make their participants float, and then levitate right alongside them. Expect more twists on the classic escape trick, and lots and lots of fire. (13th and E St. NW; $27.50; buy tickets here) Washington Wizards Preseason Game at the Verizon Center Chinatown | Friday, October 17 Building on last year's momentum—the Wizards blew past the Chicago Bulls in the second round of the playoffs—the same core team returns to the Verizon Center this season.

Eight individuals affiliated with Niagara University's ROTC program, including six cadets, spent a week in June assisting the American Legion Boys State program at SUNY Morrisville.
Cadets Jake Cary (of Victory), Brandon Forjone (Clifton Spring), Kyle Gelnett (Cleveland, New York), Aaron McCarroll (Sidney), Jacob Streb (York) and Trevor Wilson (Tonawanda) served as assistant county counselors, mentoring the county's 90 citizens. Meanwhile, 2nd Lt. Kit Burdick, Class of 2014, and Sean Donohue, recruiting operations officer at NU, acted as city counselors.
The American Legion's Boys State program is based on an idea that young men should be offered a better perspective of the practical operation of government, and that an individual is an integral part and responsible for the character and success of government.
The first Boys State of New York was held in 1938 at the Syracuse Fairgrounds.
Boys State is now held at SUNY Morrisville, with more than 900 young men attending the seven-day program each year.
The American Legion selects high school juniors from across the state to participate in the program. Only students who exhibit strong leadership skills, possess good personality traits and demonstrate honesty are selected to attend.
These young citizens direct state, county and municipal governments by electing and appointing their own officers. Boys State citizens are divided into two parties bearing arbitrary names, traditionally Federalists and Nationalists. The citizens, upon arrival, are assigned to one of the political parties, a county and a city. Each boy runs for the office to which he aspires. Throughout his term of office, each official is shown the same respect that his office demands in a real-life situation. Conventions, caucuses and elections conform to the actual procedure in state government.
Throughout the week, the participants listen to presentations by special guests from the community, professional leaders and governmental officials. In addition, Boys State alumni speak about their experiences and how the program helped make them successful.
Cadets acting as assistant county counselors answer questions about life as a college student and member of the Army ROTC program.
Meanwhile, city counselors are directly responsible for 30-35 students. They oversee the daily communication with students, address any issues that arise (including illnesses), and keep the county counselor apprised of each student's progression.
Niagara University's Army ROTC program is consistently ranked among the best in the country, previously garnering the No. 1 standing in the U.S. for recruitment, retention and quality of training in 2004; being named the No. 1 program in the Northeast in 2008; and achieving the highest average National Active Duty Accessions Board ranking in the Northeast for fiscal year 2013. In March, the Purple Eagle Battalion was one of eight nationwide to receive the MacArthur Award.
Military alumni of Niagara include two Medal of Honor recipients, Gen. William Donovan and Lt. John Bobo, and a humanitarian nominated for sainthood, Father Nelson Baker. Being in close proximity to Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station and the regional Military Entrance Processing Station, NU is responsive to the unique needs of military students, veterans and dependents.
Niagara University participates in the Department of Veterans Affairs GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008.
For more information on Niagara University's ROTC program, visit http://purple.niagara.edu/rotc. To learn more about services that NU offers for veterans, go to www.niagara.edu/veterans.

Santa Maria, Brazil (CNN) — The teacher who lost four students. The mother whose son died, while another clings to life. The photographer who survived but is haunted by guilt.
As the southern Brazilian city of Santa Maria began to buzz again Tuesday with cars and people, a somber mood still ruled the streets, where a nightclub fire Sunday claimed 235 lives.
Just about at every corner you could hear angry voices raised in talk about who is to blame for the massive blaze at the Kiss nightclub. Protesters rallied, demanding justice for those killed and tighter enforcement of regulations.
In addition to the deaths, 74 people remain hospitalized in critical condition, Brazil's health ministry said.
In Santa Maria alone, 100 of the dead were buried Monday in three different cemeteries.
That night, the streets were filled with thousands of mourners who marched to the burned-out club.
The shouts of grief and prayers were overtaken only by the wailing of mothers who stood before the building. One woman shouted: "My son, why did you have to die here?"
Police have questioned about two dozen people, including four individuals they arrested — the two owners of Kiss, a member of the band Gurizada Fandangueira and a promoter.
Police identified the club owners as Mauro Hoffman and Elissandro Spohr. Band vocalist Marcelo de Jesus dos Santos and show producer Luciano Bonilha were also in custody.
Kiss was filled well beyond its legal capacity, when a crowd of 2,000 people packed the club to hear the band play.
About 20 minutes into the concert, the musicians ended a song with pyrotechnic effects. The ceiling caught fire, state officials said. It spread fast.
The crowd panicked, breaking into a stampede, and it hit a bottleneck — the only exit was the front door, down a dark, narrow hallway.
It clogged quickly.
A firework set off in the club was not made for inside use and the band, which purchased it, knew that, said Marcelo Arigony, with the Santa Maria police. He accused the band of intentionally purchasing the firework made for use outdoors because it was cheaper.
He also said investigators have found evidence of faulty and fake fire extinguishers at the club, which had expired fire and municipal licenses. The club's original license permitted just 691 people inside.
While the investigation centers on the pyrotechnics used, Gurizada Fandangueira's guitarist told the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo that it was not clear yet what may have caused the fire.
"There were many wires on the ceiling, and there could have been a short circuit," he said.
More stories emerge
For residents of Santa Maria like Vinicius Serafim, the tragedy that unfolded at the club was unthinkable, even as the first reports began to come in.
"Most of us were thinking, 'OK, there is a fire, people got out and that was it," he said. "In the morning, where they started saying 40 dead, 50 dead, then we started noticing and really knowing (what happened)."
Serafim, an English teacher, lost four students in the blaze, and others are in intensive care units.
"Everybody is completely destroyed because they were young people, people that we knew. We worked with them for at least one year," he said.
One survivor, 24-year-old Mariana Magalhaes, told Brazil's state-run Agencia Brasil news agency, that she witnessed the band's singer unsuccessfully trying to put out the fire with an extinguisher.
She was working as a photographer at Kiss, and had already been to 15 funerals when she spoke to Agencia Brasil.
Magalhaes was one of the first to exit the building, and admits that she felt she was overreacting at first by screaming and running out. Only later did she realize her panic saved her life.
"No one could imagine the seriousness (of the fire)," she said. One danger was that the club's sound insulation was made of styrofoam, which releases toxic fumes when burned.
"It was a very silent enemy," she said. "People were exiting fine and walking, when from one moment to the next they started to fall, to have convulsions, to vomit."
Magalhaes escaped with five friends, but in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy she was filled with guilt, too.
"You can count five people on one hand," she said. "We don't feel fortunate for surviving because there are mothers who won't be able to hug their sons. My mom is hugging me, but at the same time I felt lucky and guilty."
On a Brazilian television program, one mother lamented the death of her son and the injuries to a another son.
Elaine Goncalves was able to locate her injured son as he was being transferred to a hospital, but she could not accompany him because she had to go claim the body of her other son.
"It's terrible, very sad," she said. "My sons left the house looking nice, happy, playful, the two brothers together. My son left to go to a party and now he is here, inside a box. I demand justice."
Brazil's minister of health, Alexandre Padilha, said the most serious cases involve patients who require permanent dialysis, medications to maintain blood pressure, and assistance breathing.
Many of the injured were transferred to hospitals in bigger cities, while others were kept in Santa Maria.
"The transfer was for patients with serious burns because our specialized centers are in the city of Porto Alegre and also in order to free up beds in the intensive care unit here in Santa Maria," Padilha said.
Some were in such critical condition that it was not believed they could survive the trip to another facility.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff honored the victims during a meeting with newly elected mayors on Monday.
"The pain which I witnessed is indescribable," Rousseff said. "I speak of that pain to remind us all about our responsibility, the executive branch, with our population. In the face of this tragedy, we must make a commitment to ensure that it will never happen again."
