Welcome to the new BuddyPress.org
Since 2008, BuddyPress.org has gone through several different transformations. What started as a simple support forum for the software evolved into us experimenting with BuddyPress to fit some of its functionality into our existing community.
Well… y'all spoke, and we listened.
The vast majority of the feedback we've received was that the site had become too complicated, too slow, and too difficult to navigate and use. Frankly, we agree, so we've been iterating on bbPress and BuddyPress to forge them both into easier to use, easier to understand pieces of software.
Last night we converted the +145k posts into using bbPress 2. We're also currently running the development versions of bbPress and BuddyPress, to help kick the tires and make sure the next major versions are as solid and stable as we can make them be.
Taking inspiration from the recently updated bbPress.org, we've stripped BuddyPress.org back down to the foundation of being a dedicated support forum for the project proper. Also… forum search is back, and our moderation team finally has the tools it's been waiting for to manage community content.
About 2 years ago, we introduced the idea of Plugin Groups. They were a fun experiment, but ended up fragmenting the support experience away from WordPress.org. Because of this, and because so much work is going into the WordPress.org forums, we've decided to sunset our implementation here.
If you're a plugin author, your old group forum and its content is still available. None of the data has been deleted or lost, we've just turned the group functionality off, and hope that you'll lean towards using the official WordPress.org support forums for your plugins going forward.
There are a few todo's:
Polish up user profiles.
Figure out what to do with activity streams.
Update the codex.
Update the i18n sites.
Update pages with missing content.
The todo's are easy to knock-out, I just ran out of time to get them finished by the morning. Thanks everyone for your patience, and I hope the new setup is easier to use for everyone.
- The topic 'Welcome to the new BuddyPress.org' is closed to new replies.

Grandmother killed when golf cart driven by 5-year-old grandson crashes into porch
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
NORTHFIELD — A 57-year-old grandmother was killed Monday in what police are calling a "freak accident" involving her grandchild and a golf cart, police said.
Sherry Isabelle of 34 Gifford Drive was riding in a small golf cart with her 5-year-old grandson at the wheel when the cart smashed into her house's porch.
"We think it's the kind of thing where the child might have hit the accelerator instead of the brake," Sgt. Michael Hutchinson said.
A third person in the small powered cart was not injured, he said.
Isabelle likely died in the crash, Hutchinson said. The child suffered minor facial injuries.
"We're not sure exactly what happened ... we think the child being smaller was a factor, because they both went under the porch," he said.
Police and rescue crews were called to Isabelle's home at 3:42 p.m. Isabelle's body was pulled from beneath the porch by rescue crews and neighbors; CPR was performed. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her grandson was taken to Franklin Regional Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.
Hutchinson said Isabelle was known and loved in her neighborhood.
"I really feel for the family, particularly the young grandson," he said.
No charges are expected to be filed, police said.
According to her Facebook page, Isabelle went to Winnisquam Regional High School and was a member of the Tilton Northfield United Methodist Church.
On Isabelle's Facebook page, a relative expressed sorrow: "My heart goes out to Grampa Bob, Robert Isabelle in the loss of his wife today in a tragic accident. We all loved her and will miss her. Remember all the good times and the family memories and remember she was doing something she loved with her grandchildren. Also my thoughts are with the rest of her family and all of her friends. Rest in peace Sherry Isabelle."
The case is still under investigation by local police, who are asking anyone with information to contact them at 286-8982.
"The Northfield Police Department would also like to ask all to take proper safety precautions when operating recreational vehicles, to include golf carts," police said in a news release.

Glad you had fun! Too bad we didn't (knowingly?) run into each other.
Although.. I remember walking past someone in line that had a fishing pole over their shoulder... hmmm...
- August 24, 2009 at 10:03 PM
- Occeleta said...
That someone in line was not me. I merely had a little cheap fishing pole from the game Let's go fishin'. I intended on bringing the game in with me as well and plop it down various places and start fishing but forgot the batteries.
Darr here said that when he was coming back from lunch he saw a gal' in a fishing outfit like mine but also had made the Kaluak fishing pole. So that's likely who you saw Syrana.
I wanted to meet her just because, well hell anyone else to show up in a fishing outfit just has to be cool, but sadly it was not meant to be.
- August 24, 2009 at 11:57 PM

Well, it's sorta comforting knowing it wasn't you, just because then it's not like it was a near miss! :)
There were definitely some interesting outfits. I kinda liked some of the "non-traditional" ones... like the fishing and various vendors.

Daily Mirror
Launched in 1903 by Alfred Harmsworth (of the Daily Mail - later Lord Northcliffe) as a newspaper for women by women, the penny Mirror had the first woman editor in Fleet Street. That, however, lasted just six months before a new editor fired all the women! Now carrying the masthead "A paper for men and women", it was the first in the world to print photographs: the illustrated front pages (no adverts!) are a remarkable pictorial record of the first third of 20th century.
In 1937, under Cecil King, the Mirror was restyled in the model of the New York tabloids, with a political stance firmly behind the Labour Party. By the late 40s, it was the UK's biggest-selling newspaper, peaking at 5million copies in the 60s during the Profumo tribulations of the MacMillan Government and the subsequent Labour victory under Harold Wilson. Despite its politics, the Mirror is mainly pacifist - unsympathetic to the Falklands War and consistently opposed the invasion of Iraq. Contributors include Cassandra (William Connor), Keith Waterhouse, Paul Foot and cartoonists Philip Zec and Reg Smythe (Andy Capp).

I've kinda gotten used to the fact that manga/anime use psychology as a means to push forward the story or introduce certain situations. Rarely is it realistic and credible but is based on myths and popular belief about the human mind.
@KLGChaos: Can you find me where the part about what SK originally planned for Yuki is mentioned please because I can't really believe that without proof.
Yuki acts a little out of proportion but if actual rape was the only option for Yuki not to look like a drama queen then I'd still choose the current state - I don't think I could've continued reading the series if it turned out she was actually raped. If that was the case "alternative Yuki" would be in an extreme emo and angst state she is now starting from chapter 1 , heck, she wouldn't even have the nerve to talk to Utsumi, not to mention proposing to counsel him about love.
To me GE would've just turned out to be another depressing series like Bitter Virgin, which I know many people really liked, but which I personally would never touch.

@Main heroine switching: The problem with it is, that the looong development of YukixUcchi would be nothing more than wasted space unless Yuki alone would get some salvation (in terms of generally be more bright-moodish" outwards) out of it.
As much as I love Shou-sama, her coming back would be "meh". SK gave her an epic farewell as a love rival and I fear that any more love-related appearances will only result in us seeing her crying (I hated it how she suffered in those chapters )

Here is Rainrir's original quote in reply to me on OM:
"It is highly likely that the original setting has a rape scenario involved. This is alluded towards in the character design notes, where Yuki was supposed to be a Kendo Club member (who feels secure only in her armor) instead and the statement that Yuki's past was supposed to be far darker. The editor shot that down (and suggested the Tennis club thing).
I once argued with another psychology student (on mangafox ironically) on how realistic is Yuki linking this associative trauma (her life being destroyed, loss of trust in everyone) with the action of sex is. The conclusion is that it is unlikely IRL, but possible (people make irrational associations all the time). I swear someone will call me a poser again for raising this point. However, my view is that the current events are a carry over from the original setting...Kei already intended for this to eventually happen since day one."
I believe someone may have posted them in the GE fanclub at one point. I'll see if I can find it.

It also makes sense that Yuki's current state and trauma level could derive from that initial concept of a "darker past" although I'm not sure Kei then had planned for Yuki to desperately overcome her trauma by having sex. That would make less sense than it does now (there is some reason behind it though)
Still, I'm glad her editor made Kei write GE conforming to "shounen standards" since I personally choose ShoRoms for a reason, which is their usually standardized light-heartedness whereas seinen series I choose very very carefully. I wouldn't have given a "seinen-GE" a snowball's chance in hell.
So despite some edges in writing here and there I'm happy I don't have to miss out on a still highly entertaining series.

i didnt find eri's behavior unexpected at all..irrational, illogical, "jumping the gun" etc...sounds perfectly normal for a emotional/easily angered teenage girl (and perfectly characteristic of Eri)
at that point, all eri (and her friends) knew was that her best friend, Yuki, was depressed about something. automatically they assume its about Utsumi, given past situations. they then hear he is at another girls apartment.
of course they will assume hes some sort of cheat that broke Yukis heart
clearly they are wrong, as it is ENTIRELY yuki's fault for the scenario.
her running away upon witnessing utsumi...eating with this other girl, just demonstrates how weak she is. shes unable to be confrontational about the situation b/c deep inside, she knows she brought it upon herself in a way. typical girl, typical teenager...
i still support a yuki ending, as it doesnt seem too logical to write anyone else into the story at this point... but that doesnt mean i dont really like her behavior at all thus far

/played only the Visual Novel
That's what I meant more or less . As long as some form of development - eg. be it a lesson-learnt-effect or someting else - is obtained by switching the main girl after relationship no. x did not work (let's disregard how possible this scenario actually would be), it will probably turn out fine.
In Yuki's case: Despite not being with Ucchi, she could obtain/re-obtain her cheerful-self + her trust in men in terms of dating
For Ucchi: A relationship requires each partner to maintain it + it's not always like in a fantasy
By now I don't really care with whom he ends with as long as both are geniunely happy (I'm that "oldfashioned") + the transition towards it is somewhat logical. I admit to have grown tired of Yuki, though despite of having felt with her when her past was finally revealed.

There's no way to keep everyone happy when switching heroines. So many people are attached to the first girl mentality that they always seem to overlook the flaws and get angry when someone better comes along (Suzuka is a perfect example). However, if done well, I think many people can be assuaged. The girl that is switched to must be given proper development, though, as much as the first girl if not more.
So far, I have not seen a manga do it successfully. Heck, I'm not even sure I've seen a manga even try. For an example of how NOT to handle a second love interest, look no further than KNIM. Though Asuka was obviously not going to be switched to in Seo's Ebaverse, her complete lack of development and loss of personality are a perfect representation of how to fail at handling a second relationship. The story would have been a lot more interesting if she was properly developed before being ceremoniously dumped as it wouldn't have been a predictable mess.

My girlfriend, after reading this chapter, she become sad...
damn...Utsumi look like the most unlucky person in the world....
the best thing at this time,Utsumi don't follow Yuki...because,Yuki's reaction to seeing Utsumi with another girl,shows that she loves him,but,if they come back together now, and she meet Thouru..probably, her reaction will be to dump Utsumi again..
maybe it's better that Yuki has a face to face with Thouru, only in this way, she understand if she come back with him, or understand, is Utsumi, the right person for her..Utsumi will do anything for her,but if before she not becomes clear with herself..what makes Utsumi ..will not work..
Anyway, I hope that Mei, take the Utsumi's defenses,because surely he, in this situation, will do nothing,Unfortunately, we all know Utsumi, and we know he has a weak character..for me,is time for him to become stronger,a man..but this author, just like to put Utsumi in situation like this....

While it's true that Utsumi needs to man up, he also needs to realize that what happened was by no means his fault, and I'm afraid that everyone else's reaction will convince him otherwise. The biggest problem here is that both Mei and Utsumi lack credibility in front of Eri and the others. From their pov, Utsumi an idiot and a cheater for hanging out with another girl. Mei only knows what Utsumi could have told him, and they already don't respect her anyways. The only way for them to truly realize Yuki's at fault is if Yuki's the one to tell them everything, and I doubt they'll get anything out of her because it's too painful for her and they'll just take pity and dislike Utsumi more, thinking he must've done something terrible. People can say Utsumi is weak all they want, but I tend to think that Yuki's even weaker, especially compared to what she made herself out to be in the beginning.

And yeath Utsu is a limp noodle compared to Haruto, but at the same time Haruto is much easier to hate though (or maybe because) he has more spine differently from Utsu (though cant say he is really manly like in that cooking for another guy who stole his girlfriend part).
But Utsu is like that kicked around little puppy with wide teary eyes - he gets a lot of love for always being hurt by others and staying innocent at the same time. And like an good obedient dog always crawls back begging for forgiveness just because he is such a kind pup.

Utsumi is a good guy, he know, a girl he likes... he tries to treat her as best he can, he tries to make her feel better, he can..but this girl, (Yuki).....
Haruto...hahaha...him is always like to 'start of the manga..,first he liked the girl who was in class with him, then after Eba, Eba dump Haruto .. and Haruto with Asuka ... and for what?Haruto and Asuka.. no development,then Eba returns, and Haruto dump Asuka...With these words : please, break up with me..i found the girl i like...hahaha...
Utsumi is a guy who cries and becomes unsafe for little, but is a good boy...is 1000 times better than Haruto.

For some people the male lead is most important, for some the female. Some want a decent plot, some just look for ecchi art. Many people want all of the mentioned aspects and even more. There are many reasons to like one of the series more than the other - none of the reasons, however, can be objectively indentified as better executed by one of them.
Personally I enjoy both series (the old-fashioned way, not the twisted hate-for-entertainment way). Sometimes GE is currently more enjoyable, sometimes KNIM is.

Though, I'll agree that Utsumi needs to man up a bit. He definitely has some issues. I still like him more than Haruto in the end because he doesn't treat everyone around him like dirt and so far, he's been shown to be a very honest person who actually listens to his friend's advice, even if it's something he may not want to hear, contrary to Haruto who sometimes seems to not be able to stop lying and sneaking around. Plus, Utsumi tends to learn and grow from his life experiences. Haruto is stuck in place and has been since chapter 1.

Taco Bell going on a health kick?
Taco Bell going on a health kick?
Taco Bell isn't putting down the chalupa just yet, but it's embarking on a push to shake its reputation as a purveyor of junk food.
The fast-food chain announced Wednesday that it's exploring ways to offer more balanced choices and transparency. That could mean new products and reformulations of existing offerings.
The move is likely to be met with skepticism in some corners, considering that Taco Bell is known for urging people to eat nachos as a "fourth meal" late at night.
But it shows just how much pressure the industry is under to recast its greasy-food image as people increasingly seek out options they feel are healthier.
Taco Bell is a unit of Yum Brands Inc., which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut.

Tweets to Facebook
One thing that I have learned since starting my own digital marketing consultancy, is that there is still much for folks to learn about social media marketing. It's why I've been inspired to create Dave's Social Media Tool Box, a series of posts with tips to help you.
How to post from Twitter to Facebook
I use a Facebook app called Selective Tweets to share my Twitter tweets on my Facebook profile. There are lots of other ways to do this too, but I've loved this free service since I started using it years ago.
I recommend using such a service, so you can choose which tweets you want to share with your Facebook friends. I'll tell you now that NONE of them want to see your @ replies, so avoid over-sharing.
To use Selective Tweets, just install the Facebook application. Then use #fb in your tweet to make it appear on Facebook. Easy.
Special thanks to Andy Young, who created Selective Tweets. You should tell him thanks too.

NEW YORK , June 8 (UPI) -- Film and television actor Bryan Cranston earned his first Tony Award Sunday for his portrayal of former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson in the political drama, All the Way.
The former Breaking Bad star won the prize for Best Lead Actor in a Play at the ceremony, which took place at New York's Radio City Music Hall and aired live on CBS.
"Oh, my goodness! Oh, dear lord! My first Broadway play was in 1977. I snuck into the second act of Hair and, to this day, I still haven't seen the first act. But they tell me the second act is better because there is more nudity, so I feel blessed. ...
"To all the fellow actors in this category, I am deeply honored to be in your company," he told his Tony rivals Samuel Barnett, Mark Rylance, Chris O'Dowd and Tony Shalhoub.
"Thank you so much for this," he addressed the crowd, cradling his trophy and referring to the script that helped him earn it as a "beautiful and important play."
Moments later, Robert Schenkkan's drama scored the Tony for Best Play.

We observed the Lord's Supper last Sunday as a part of our worship that included a sermon on apostasy from Jeremiah 18:13-23. In verse 15 the Lord summarizes Judah's apostate condition with this simple charge, "My people have forgotten Me." That succinct assessment is repeatedly made in the first 18 chapters of the book (Jeremiah 2:32, Jeremiah 3:21, Jeremiah 13:25). What an indictment it is! When those to whom the Lord has come forget Him they are doing something that goes against nature, is uncharacteristic of pagans with their gods, and which is spiritually suicidal (see the contexts of the verses listed above).
Forgetfulness is a common, yet deadly spiritual disease. That is why God's Word gives so much emphasis to calling us to remember. Much of the burden of Moses' message to the Israelites in Deuteronomy is warning them not to forget the Lord and exhorting them to remember Him and His salvation. David penned two psalms "to bring to remembrance" (Psalms 38 and Psalms 70).
This same emphasis is found in the New Testament as well. In the midst of their sufferings the Hebrew Christians had to be reminded that those whom the Lord loves, He disciplines (Hebrews 12:5). Peter exhorts his readers to "add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love." Then he explains that "he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins" (2 Peter 1:5-9).
The apostles saw it as part of their responsibility to remind the disciples of Christ of things that they already know. Paul explained to the Roman church, "I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you...." (Romans 15:15). He sent Timothy to Corinth in order to "remind" them of his ways in Christ (1 Corinthians 4:17). Peter plainly declared his purpose in writing to his fellow believers: "For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you... (2 Peter 1:12-13). In fact, he self-consciously wrote his letters in order to encourage his readers to remember truth long after he had died: "Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease" (2 Peter 1:15; see also 2 Peter 3:1).
Part of pastoral ministry is to be given over to reminding God's people of the Lord and His ways. Paul admonishes both Timothy and Titus to do just that (2 Timothy 2:14, Titus 3:1). He also encourages his young pastor friend to "remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel" (2 Timothy 2:8). Forget this and Gospel ministry becomes impossible.
All of these reminders are indictments on our tendency to forget. Which bring me back to the Lord's Supper. Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me." Isn't it amazing that we need to be reminded of the sacrificial death of our Savior? What a commentary on the power of remaining sin that resides within believers! What a testimony to the subtle strategies of the devil and the alluring deceptions of the world! It seems inconceivable, doesn't it, that people who have been rescued for the wrath of God and granted eternal salvation would ever forget the One who, at such great cost, brought it about. Yet, that is sadly our tendency. We forget.
That's why we sin. We forget the wickedness of our sin and what it cost our Savior to redeem us from it. That's why we complain and grumble. We forget the greatness of incomparable worth of all that is ours in Jesus Christ. That's why we hesitate to forgive. We forget that God in Christ has forgiven us. That's why we get depressed, lose hope, become joyless and settle into spiritual mediocrity. We forget Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, has conquered every one of our enemies and given us a sure future in heaven.
How gracious and kind and condescending of Christ to give us the ordinance of the Lord's Supper so that by it we will be dramatically called to remember Him on a regular basis! An obedient Christian (who submits to the command to "Do this") cannot long remain a forgetful Christian (because it is done in remembrance of Christ). Forgetfulness is a great enemy to a joyful, faithful Christian life. We must not underestimate our need for encouragement to remember Christ. And we must not neglect the very means that He Himself has given to us to do so.

The One Race Foundation is dedicated to fostering the skills and talents of our students and providing them with a foundation upon which to build a meaningful career in filmmaking, so we are always thrilled to be able to share personal updates from our amazing students with our dedicated supporters.
Here is one such letter from Suleiman Salem (Palestine, SII 2011):
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and that this reaches you in the best of health and tranquility.
I want to thank you and everyone involved in ORGFF for everything. I know I should have sent this earlier, but the impact of the entire trip just hit me.
When I came back from Dominican Republic, I switched one of my majors to Media & Information, Michigan State University's newest film major, with a concentration in TV, Cinema, and Radio. They invested x-million dollars into their new official "Media Sandbox". I never got an opportunity to work with any type of filming, television studios, etc. - and I had switched my majors thrice in the past because I liked and was skilled in so many fields (and I say this with utmost humility). So when ORGFF gave me that opportunity, I realized how much I loved the field and how useful it was for my future intentions. I discussed it with my family, some friends, a few directors with similar backgrounds to mine (Muslim American), and one whose film was actually chosen at Sundance Film Festival. I switched my major officially and enjoyed every class I took so far.
We covered camera basics that I had learned in DR, lighting, sound; we had small exercises to do with the cameras to focus on each element. Then for a final, we had to either make a music video or an interview-type film. I went around MSU campus interviewing different students about their thoughts on Islam and Muslims. The film went viral for a few hours, it was shared about 50 times on Facebook, then I took it down because of an audio issue that my professor later helped me fix. My group member lost points on the only thing I warned him about, lighting. I'm going to reupload the film again in a few days.
In the past 5 months, I've helped and worked with people in the community and distant friends with film editing, audio, and aftereffects. I haven't enjoyed anything in school as much as this and I have great plans for the future. I've already spoken to a father's friend who owns a tv studio that sells content to cable companies and might visit him at the end of the year for a winter internship. I've also taken 20 credits last semester and this semester and although I changed majors, I should be done in two more semesters if all goes according to plan. I've also been running my own businesses on the side, one individual and one with a close friend, and have been doing really well, so I've managed to focus on media and information and working simultaneously.
I feel like I've rambled a bit, but I just wanted to update you on how things were going with me. I really, really enjoyed everything ORGFF organized and - in regards to conflict-stricken countries - I've given a lot of people in the community a bit of a different insight on how we should think and act towards people opposing us. I give sermons and lead interfaith discussions with a crowd of about 700-1200 at times, again with all humility, and the topic of forgiveness has never meant more to me than after the 6-week program in DR.
I hope all is well with you and your loves ones and I'll try to stay in touch more often! I did intend to visit in the summer but I had to resolve some issues with university housing and didn't get the chance after the semester began. Hopefully soon!
Again, from the bottom of my heart - thank you for everything!

When Bethesda announced last week that "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" development team are moving on, as a whole, to the studios next big project; the developer stated that fans shouldn't expect anything other than minor updates for popular role-playing game in the future. Further clarifying exactly what was meant by minor updates, Bethesda's Pete Hines has now stated that no additional features will ever be included to "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."
Players originally hoped that content added outside of major DLC releases, such as Kinect Support and mounted combat, might be considered to be minor updates that fans could still look forward too. However, this isn't the case. Any gameplay feature that isn't currently part of "Skyrim" simply won't ever be added.
One of the greatest games of this generation. Glad Bethesda supported it so well and so long. Yes, they had some shortcomings with the PS3 version.
But whatever they achieved was simply phenomenal. The main game combined with the 3 DLCs can give you 400 hours of gameplay.
A world so massive, I wonder how they pulled it off on current gen consoles.
Great job Bethesda. I simply can't wait for Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls 6.
Skyrim ordered everything from the menu, couldn't finish the meal. The critics thought it was horseshoes and they scored points for an almost.
Agreed game runs great on my console, its a masterpiece of a game too, i still haven't finished or gotten halfway lol, its just so huge, and i get side tracked alot when im just roaming the world.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks turned higher after Congressional leaders reported progress in talks with President Barack Obama about cutting the U.S. government's budget deficit.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down as much as 71 points in late morning trading but turned higher after House Speaker John Boehner and other Congressional leaders said they had constructive talks with Obama's team.
The Dow was up 34 points shortly before noon at 12,576.
Other indexes also turned higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 2 points to 1,355 and the Nasdaq rose a point to 2,837.
Investors have worried that Obama and Congress won't reach a deal in time on the budget to avoid deep cuts in government spending and tax increases that are set to kick in at the beginning of next year.

PAXTON � Fire Chief Jay Conte recommended Monday night that the town not renew its contract for ambulance service with Spencer Rescue, which the Board of Selectmen took under advisement until next Monday.
In other business, with little discussion and no public comment, the board also approved a liquor license for Paxton Marketplace, which has had a beer and wine license for seven years.
In his recommendation about the ambulance service, Chief Conte said, "Although the relationship has remained strong for the better part of six years � there have been many issues in the past 10 months that have made the working relationship harder and has put EMS coverage in jeopardy for the town of Paxton." The recommendation was co-sponsored by Town Administrator Carol E. Riches.
Selectman John F. Malone, the chairman, and Selectman Peter Bogren Jr. said they would meet during the week separately with the chief and the administrator in preparation for making a decision next Monday.
Selectman Julia N. Pingitore, the third member of the board, recused herself because her husband, Michael, is a member of the fire department.
Spencer Rescue is a private organization that also provides service to Spencer. Its contract with Paxton, which expired June 30, calls for advance life support services from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and backup from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In response to the chief's recommendation, Gary Suter, executive director of Spencer Rescue, said he had been assured the contract would be renewed and was "blindsided" when he received an email Friday from Chief Conte.
"I felt like I had been hit between the eyes with a 2-by-4." He added that he was later shocked by an "obscenity-laden" email from the chief.
During the discussion, there were two references to problems � one involving a problem with a Spencer rescue worker, the other a quarrel over which department makes decisions on responses.
Mr. Suter assured the board that there would be no interruption of services.

Three Minnesota law firms have each received $118,600 checks from the state related to a lawsuit that led to new political maps.
The legal fees were distributed Friday and stem from a court order in the once-per-decade redistricting. The Legislature authorized the Minnesota Secretary of State's office to pay the combined $355,000.
The money went to Briggs and Morgan, which represented Republicans; Frederickson and Byron, the firm for the state Democratic Party; and Weinblatt and Gaylord, which also had Democratic clients.
Payments were capped at $115,000 but each also got interest that accrued since the prior summer's court order. That ruling offered less than half of the requested fees.
The Minnesota Supreme Court took over redistricting after Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed maps approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2011.

"Botany on Your Plate" and "Nourishing Choices": Resources for a Healthier Classroom
By Alyssa Casey
In the United States, the National Gardening Association educates students about the health benefits of eating plant-based food through a variety of publications written specifically for school communities. Resources such as Botany on Your Plate: Investigating the Plants We Eat and Nourishing Choices: Implementing Food Education in Classrooms, Cafeterias, and Schoolyards provide innovative plans and tools for bringing plant and nutrition education into the classroom, as well as connecting children to their local food economy.
Botany on Your Plate offers a series of life science classroom lessons targeted specifically at grades K-4. Each lesson studies a different category of plant, such as fruits or flowers, or a different plant part, such as roots or leaves, with the aim of helping children develop a well-rounded knowledge of many edible plants. Students work in pairs or groups studying, dissecting, and recording observations about the plants, while teachers explain the functions of each plant part as well as the nutritional benefits that the plants can offer. The lessons also suggest plant-based snack items to feed students, exposing them to foods they may never have tried.
Botany on Your Plate incorporates diverse educational subjects into its lessons. Students enhance language and writing skills by learning plant vocabulary and journaling about observations and tastings. They gain scientific understanding when learning plant parts or thinking about a plant's role in the ecosystem, and explore artistic skills when drawing and labeling plant diagrams. Each lesson offers step-by-step instructions and suggestions for tailoring activities to different skill levels. The book also contains a master list of supplies and produce for each lesson, a collection of plant diagrams and nutrition labels, and a glossary of terms that students can learn.
The second publication, Nourishing Choices, takes a broader approach, highlighting projects and procedures for bringing food, nutrition, and plant education into schools on a larger scale. From initial assessments, to the integration of food education into curricula, to the addition of healthier options in the lunchroom, the publication serves as a roadmap for schools and school districts. The abundance of ideas allows school communities to select programs that fit their size, scope, and needs. Profiles of successful projects around the country—including school garden programs, field trips to local farms, and even school food labs where students actually prepare lunch—offer ideas and advice to communities that are just beginning to implement food education programs.

Waimanalo Research Station to host Taro Field Day on FridayUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Extension agent, Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences
Frederika Bain, (808) 956-3092
Writer/editor, Communications, CTAHR
The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, will hold Taro Field Day at its Waimānalo Research Station on Friday, June 21, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The free and open-to-the-public event will showcase CTAHR's Taro Germplasm Collection and raise awareness of the statewide Taro Security and Purity Task Force.
Topics discussed will include the many taro varieties in Hawai'i and new and innovative techniques for growing taro, including dryland taro culture, organic taro production, phytosanitation, and apple snail infestation prevention. Participants will be able to tour CTAHR's organic taro collection and network with fellow farmers and Hawai'i's agricultural agencies. Waimānalo community members will also offer kalo-pounding demonstrations.
The collection is a way for CTAHR to safeguard the varieties grown at multiple locations across the state. For instance, if the crops in one location are threatened by a particular disease or pest, such as pigs or deer, the collection ensures that the particular taro strain is not wiped out. It also helps to celebrate and perpetuate the culture, tradition and value of taro in Hawai'i.
The Taro Security and Purity Task Force was established by Governor Linda Lingle in 2008 to help the state craft legislation to protect the future of taro in Hawai'i, taking into account economic, cultural, biosecurity, land and water issues. OHA is the task force's administrator and chief funder. Members are drawn from the state Department of Agriculture; state Department of Land and Natural Resources; UH Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources; Onipa'a Na Hui Kalo, a statewide organization of taro farmers; and the Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau Federation, as well as representatives from taro-farming communities on O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i and the Big Island, and a member representing botanical gardens or taro collections.
The most current list of members and more information can be found at the Task Force's website at http://tarotaskforcehi.shutterfly.com/aboutus.
The Waimānalo Research Station is located at 41-698 Ahiki Street. For more information, please call Jari Sugano at (808) 622-4185.

G2358, Reviewed October 1993
Sulfa products and other antibiotics have been widely used in Missouri's swine industry for promoting growth and for reducing disease problems and death in pigs. Table 1 shows a summary of experiments using antibiotics as growth promoters for young pigs. Improvements in performance have been consistent. Pork producers need to comply with regulations and avoid losing these tools in their production systems.
Table 1Comparison of antibiotics as growth promoters for young pigs
The benefits of antibiotics, including sulfa, are based on research trials. They are regulated through the amount you add to rations and through the levels inspectors accept as residues in meat tissue. In recent years, the pork industry and governmental agencies have become concerned about the number of hogs going to market with illegal levels of sulfa in their tissue.
The sulfa drugs, or sulfonamides, are one of the most commonly used drugs in pig feeds. The feed additive combinations that include sulfa are: Aureo-SP-250, Chlorachel-250, Tylan-sulfa and CSP-250. The recommended usage of these sulfa products and other additives and their withdrawal period is shown in Table 2.
Table 2Approved levels and withdrawal periods for feed additives used in swine feeds for improved growth rates and feed efficiency.1
The regulatory tolerance level for sulfa in pork tissues (liver, kidney or muscle is 0.1 ppm) as established by the FDA. During the early 1970s, the USDA initiated a national monitoring program. It found that about 15 percent of hog carcasses violated sulfa residue limits. In almost all the carcasses tested, the USDA found the sulfonamide sulfamethazine in the tissues.
Through a major effort initiated in 1977, the entire swine industry tried to solve the residue problem through research and educational programs. As the result of these programs, violative levels dropped to about 4 percent by 1981. Since then, however, levels have crept back up, and in 1986, violations were around 6 percent.
The industry fears that if this residue rate remains the same or continues to increase, the regulatory agencies will step up monitoring of the residues, which could lead to sulfonamide-use restrictions. Because many Missouri hogs have been fed sulfa at some time, it is evident such a ban, or even stricter inspections, would increase production costs for many of our producers.
What is the reason for the high incidence of sulfa residues, and why has it been so difficult to eliminate the problem? Initially, producers were blamed for not complying with the withdrawal period. However, it was later realized many violations occurred at farms where producers did follow proper withdrawal times.
In some cases, violations were being reported on farms where pigs had no access to sulfa medication.
Finally, research conducted at Iowa, Illinois and Kentucky shed new light on the problem. Researchers found that very small amounts of sulfamethazine in the feed would cause a residue problem in the tissue. An early study at Kentucky showed as little as 1 gram of sulfamethazine per ton of feed would cause a high incidence of residues in the liver. Table 3 illustrates data from a later study in which 2 grams of sulfamethazine per ton of feed was found to cause a violative residue in liver tissue. A higher level of sulfamethazine (8 grams per ton) was required before a violative level of sulfa occurred in the muscle.
Table 3Effects of form (sulfamethazine vs. sulfathiazole) and level of sulfa in finisher feed on sulfa residues in pork.1
Sulfathiazole is excreted more rapidly than sulfamethazine and, therefore, is less likely to cause residue problems. Table 3 shows that feed can be contaminated with up to 16 grams of sulfathiazole per ton before a residue occurs.
In addition to failure to withdraw at the proper time, other causes of residue may include manure or lagoon water recycling, contaminated manure packs, delivery errors and obtaining contaminated ingredients or feed from the feed supplier. The main problem, however, is cross-contamination of non-medicated withdrawal feed from on-farm mixing and handling. A study of Indiana farms indicated at least four major factors are strongly associated with cross-contamination. They are:
An Iowa study found that because bulk sulfamethazine powder is cheaper than granules, some producers illegally continue to use it instead of approved granulated products. The powder is extremely electrostatic and dusty, however, and the test results show it is practically impossible to use without a risk of carryover.
The use of higher-than-approved levels, which is illegal, also contributes greatly to carryover.
The more medicated feeds that go through the mixing and delivery systems, the greater the chances of mixing medicated feed with "clean" feed. This also reduces the number of flush feeds available. Just 20 pounds of medicated feed (100 grams of sulfamethazine per ton), mixed with one ton of non-medicated finishing feed, can cause violative tissue levels.
Essential to the overall cross-contamination picture of a given farm is the pattern of sequencing and flushing of the feeding system. Cleaning the delivery and mixing equipment following the use of sulfa is also important. Producers who keep good records and have a definite sequencing, flushing and cleaning plan have far less sulfa carryover into the finishing feed than those without the plan.
Generally, if the producer uses granular products at the approved level and has a conscientious sequencing, flushing and cleaning program, cross-contamination is not a problem. However, if feeds containing powdered sulfamethazine at higher-than-recommended levels are used, even an excellent sequencing and flushing routine is no guarantee that cross-contamination does not exist.
Producers found in violation of regulatory standards for sulfa residue face serious disruptions in their production and marketing activities. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service is responsible for enforcing sulfa residue regulations. The service assures meat is safe and wholesome and condemns meat with violative drug residues.
Prosecutions can occur for producers who misuse sulfa or other medications. USDA meat inspectors randomly sample pork carcasses at each slaughter plant for sulfa and other drug and chemical residues. If they find violative levels of sulfa, they notify the producer and a marketing embargo is placed on the farm until a sample of five hogs is tested and found to be free of sulfa residues. This can result in marketing delay of two to three weeks. The USDA is currently developing screening tests for use on the farm, at buying stations or in the plant. With the possibility of increased checking and testing for sulfa residues, producers may want to look at some of the new on-farm testing producers that are becoming available.
The present tolerance level, set by the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, is based on short-term toxicological studies with rats and dogs fed high levels of sulfonamides. Some of the animals in these studies developed thyroid toxicosis, which in one study progressed to thyroid carcinomas. The 0.1 ppm tolerance level, however, provides at least a 2,000-fold safety margin for humans.
Another concern is for the small percentage of humans hypersensitive to sulfa drugs. Hypersensitive people could have an allergic reaction to sulfa drugs even in small amounts — such as the amounts found in residue-containing meat. Sulfa also poses potential risks to people who continuously handle and mix medicated feed.
A study at Illinois indicates sulfa residues can occur when pigs have access to sulfa-containing manure. Swine housed on solid floors that allow accumulation of urine are more likely to experience recycling of sulfa than swine housed on slotted floors.
Following sulfa withdrawal, move pigs to a clean pen or thoroughly clean the pen at the time of withdrawal. These pens need to be cleaned daily for two to three days following withdrawal. Don't let pigs have access to manure in trucks or holding pens or places where other sulfa-treated hogs were kept. Avoid using pens where pools of urine are allowed to form.
Producers who mix their own feed on the farm must follow good feed mixing practices to ensure uniform dispersal of drugs and other micro-ingredients. They must use accurate scales and must calibrate volumetric mills often to ensure proper mixing. Producers must be certain to use only approved levels of drugs and approved combinations of drugs. Levels and combinations of drugs are regulated by the FDA and are published in the Feed Additive Compendium (Miller Publishing Co., Minneapolis, MN).
Producers should use a recording system to keep track of medicated feeds. (Table 4.) A good record system also will help you avoid mixing errors.

PARIS, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Success in Libya depends on continued support from international community, Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi said Tuesday.
Representatives from several countries met in Paris to discuss national security and the rule of law in Libya. Attending the meeting, Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi said his government was helping Tripoli with border security but stressed assistance was a global matter.
"We are profoundly convinced that the progress and success of the stabilization of Libya, and the establishment of a solid democracy, depend to a large extent on the level of international support," Terzi said in a statement.
The dictatorship of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi ended with his death during civil war in October 2011. National security and internal divisions have complicated Libya's post-war political progress, however.
Hanan Salah, a Libyan analyst for Human Rights Watch, said it's a "grave mistake" to state that security in the country will come without corresponding judicial reforms.
The Libyan government last week said it recognized there were shortfalls in its reform efforts but stated progress was possible.
"The situation on the ground is still considerably worrisome on the level of security but we and the other countries present at today's meeting are confident that it can be remedied in the coming months," Terzi said.

The CPU industy is working on 16nm chips to debut by around 2013, but how much smaller can it go? According to the smart guys, not much smaller, stating that at 11nm they hit a problem relating to a 'quanting tunneling' phenomena. So what's next? Yes, they can still add core after core, but this might reach a plato by around 2020. AMD's CTO predicts the 'core wars' will subside by 2020 (there seems to be life left in adding cores as Intel demonstrated a few days ago, the feasibility of a 1000 core processor.) A Silicon.com feature discusses some potential technologies that can enhance or supersede silicon.

Yesterday I noted Audrey Hudson's Washington Times story reporting that the Justice Department is "co-sponsoring" the ISNA convention starting later this week. At the Counterterrorism Blog, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross disputes Hudson's story. Gartenstein-Ross reports:
Both the headline and opening paragraph of the article state that the Justice Department is co-sponsoring the 2007 ISNA convention, which begins on Aug. 31. I spoke with a senior DOJ official who informs me that this is inaccurate. The Justice Department will in fact have a booth at the convention, but is not a co-sponsor. There will be about 500 booths at the bazaar-style event, including military recruiters, the FBI, and others who want to reach the Muslim community. The DOJ's civil rights division and community relations service attended the ISNA convention in years past, and are doing so again this year — but are not in fact a "co-sponsor," as the Times suggests.
The article goes on to assert that "Justice lawyers have objected to the affiliation with ISNA, fearing it will undermine the case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in Dallas." The DOJ official with whom I spoke reports that the national security division was in fact consulted before arrangements for the booth were made: "This was cleared with the national security division to make sure nothing would interfere with an ongoing prosecution. They were fully supportive of this."
UPDATE: I contacted Audrey Hudson this morning and reviewed the story with her. She stands by her story.
The Justice Department email now floating around notes that the Justice Department sections are "cosponsor[ing] an exhibit booth at the Islamic Society of North America convention in Rosemont, IL over Labor Day weekend." The various sponsorships available for the convention are listed here. It appears that a booth is part of a sponsorship package. In Hudson's story, the Justice Department did not deny sponsoring the conference.
The Justice Department appears to be backpedalling. How does one get a booth without a sponsorship? The Justice Department's current two-step appears to resemble the story reported by Isikoff and Hosenball earlier this month in "An unwelcome guest."

Court rejects appeal over secret IRA tapes
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned away an appeal that sought to keep interviews with former Irish Republican Army members from being turned over to police in Northern Ireland.
Monday's order from the high court leaves in place a lower court ruling that ordered Boston College to give the Justice Department portions of recorded interviews with convicted IRA car bomber Dolours Price. Federal officials want to forward the recordings to police investigating the IRA's 1972 killing of a Belfast woman.
Price, who died in January, and other former IRA members were interviewed between 2001 and 2006 as part of The Belfast Project — a resource for journalists, scholars and historians studying the long conflict in Northern Ireland.
In October, Justice Stephen Breyer temporarily blocked the interviews from being turned over.

Bagwell Hall of Fame reaction roundup
Bagwell himself:
"I never used [steroids], and I'll tell you exactly why: If I could hit between 30 and 40 home runs every year and drive in 120 runs, why did I need to do anything else? I was pretty happy with what I was doing, and that's the God's honest truth. All of a sudden guys were starting to hit 60 or 70 home runs and people were like, 'Dude, if you took [PEDs], you could do it too.' And I was like, 'I'm good where I'm at. I just want to do what I can do.'
"I wasn't trying to do anything crazy. I hit six homers in the minor leagues. Six home runs. I hit 15, 18 and 21 in Houston, and then I hit 39 in 1994 when I started working with Rudy Jaramillo and he helped me to understand my swing and I actually learned how to hit. And I was like, 'I don't need anything more. I'm good.' When I walked on the field I thought I was the best player on the field, and I didn't need anything more than that. It was never an ego thing with me, and I think at some point, it became ego to some people...
..."I'm so sick and tired of all the steroids crap, it's messed up my whole thinking on the subject. I hate to even use this word, but it's become almost like a 'buzz kill' for me. So much has gone on in the last eight or nine years, it's kind of taken some of the valor off it for me. If I ever do get to the Hall of Fame and there are 40 guys sitting behind me thinking, 'He took steroids,' then it's not even worth it to me. I don't know if that sounds stupid. But it's how I feel in a nutshell."
Jerry Crasnick:
Bagwell might have been a no-doubter for Hall induction if he had stayed healthy and tacked on two or three productive seasons at the end. But the relative brevity of his career and his 2,314 hits are likely to hurt his cause.
Still, for the voters who sift through the numbers and carefully measure his impact during 15 seasons in Houston, Bagwell merits a place in Cooperstown.
Joe Posnanski:
Bagwell, to me, looks like a first-ballot, slam-dunk, didn't-have-to-think-twice Hall of Famer. His rare combination of power and speed (he's the only first baseman to have a 30-homer, 30-stolen base season, and he did it twice) along with his solid defense (he won one Gold Glove, but was generally viewed year-in, year-out as a very good defender), along with his ability to get on base, along with his solid nature and spectacular peak makes him seem like the surest of sure things.
FanHouse's Dan Graziano:
No, I didn't vote for Jeff Bagwell for the Hall of Fame. Yes, it's for the reason everybody loves to hate. I don't know for sure that Bagwell took steroids or any other performance-enhancing drugs to help him attain his Hall of Fame-caliber numbers. I don't have evidence, like we do against Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro. But I'm suspicious...
...This isn't about whether I believe what Bagwell says. It's about suspicions I harbored long before he spoke out on the issue. It's about where he played and when he played and the teammates with whom he played and a whole bunch of circumstantial evidence that I readily admit wouldn't hold up in a court of law.
But this isn't a court of law. This is a Hall of Fame vote. I don't need proof beyond a reasonable doubt in order to cast a vote for any candidate in either direction. I could refuse to vote for someone because I didn't like him personally, though I think that would be wrong. I could refuse to vote for somebody based on racial or ethnic or religious grounds, though I think that would be despicable. I could withhold a vote because I don't want people in the Hall of Fame who have blue eyes, or owned cats, or ever played on a Texas team. It's my vote, and the only standards to which I am beholden are my own."
Jeff Pearlman:
Perhaps, as dozens upon dozens of his teammates turned to steroids and HGH throughout the 1990s and early 2000s (Reality: No two teams in baseball had more PED connections than the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros), Bagwell looked the other way and continued to pop his GNC-supplied Vitamin C tablets. Maybe, just maybe, that happened. But, as the game was being ruined in his very clubhouse, where was Bagwell's voice of protest? Where was Jeff Bagwell, one of the best players in baseball, when someone inside the game needed to speak out and demand accountability? Answer: Like nearly all of his peers, he was nowhere. He never uttered a word, never lifted a finger (Now, once he retired, he was more than willing to defend himself and speak up for the sport. Once he was retired).
This, to me, is why we are allowed to suspect Jeff Bagwell and, if we so choose, not vote for him.
(Note, Pearlman has a variety of call-and-response posts here). And he's right. If you're going to disagree with somebody, have some class. Don't be a douche. That extends here, too. Feel free to disagree with anything you read here, but don't be a complete sack of dog nuts about it.
Now, some reponse to Mr. Graziano, Mr. Pearlman, Mr. Knobler, and any other writer to won't vote for Bagwell based on their suspicions:
Again, starting with Joe Posnanski because, well, he deserves it:
I can't even begin to describe my disgust...it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. This is PRECISELY what I was talking about when I said how much I hate the character clause in the Hall of Fame voting. I think it encourages people to believe their own nonsense, to stand up on high and be judge and jury. It's something that my friend Bill James calls the "I see it in his eyes" tripe. Bill has finished a book on crime — it is, he says, actually about crime books as much as crime — and one thing he kept running into in his research was people who claimed that they could pinpoint the murderer because "it was in their eyes." Well, as Bill says, that's a whole lot of garbage. Eyes are eyes. Some people look guilty when they're innocent, and some people look innocent when they're guilty, and most people don't look innocent OR guilty except when we want to see that something in their eyes. Oh, but we love to believe we know. It's one of the flaws of humanity. And the Hall of Fame character clause gives voters carte blanche to judge the eyes and hearts and souls of players.
I think my e-migo Craig Calcaterra has made this point on Twitter, but I'd like to also make it as strongly as I can: I'd rather a hundred steroid users were mistakenly voted into the Hall of Fame over keeping one non-user out.
Amazin' Avenue's James Kannengeiser:
If you withhold voting Jeff Bagwell for the Hall of Fame solely on the chance that he used performance enhancing drugs, then you are a piece of sanctimonious dogsh*t. Seriously, you are. The time for civility has passed. If you are unwilling to afford another human being the basic "innocent until proven guilty" right because you are a holier-than-thou windbag, then you are human feces. Dan Graziano, this is you. I'm embarrassed to have graduated from the same university as you...
...Acting like these Hall of Fame voters should be treated as nice people who have earned their right to vote is a load of nonsense. This isn't about sabermetrics vs. wins and RBIZZZ. It's about treating other human beings with some f*cking respect. The intelligent cases have been presented before all of these voters time and time again. If you don't vote for Bagwell, or someone similar, because you think he might have useds PEDs (but have no proof!) you are human garbage. Flat out. That's all I have to say about that.
There is simply no way to sum it up any better than that.

If Bagwell was a Yankee, he would be elected on his first ballot. I'm so sick of the BS. Seriously, name 5 1st basemen all time that have better numbers than Bagwell. This is irritating me like no other.

I'm a little confused over Pearlman's comments. No ther team has more connections to PED's than the Astros? Whaaa? How about the A's? I don't remember anyone other than Bags being accused of juicing WHILE THEY WERE AN ASTRO. I can think of a few guys that were suspected AFTER they left, and a couple BEFORE they got here, but none during their tenure. I know it doesn't really matter, Pearlman's not a HOF voter, but still. How prevalent is his thinking?

Hey Joe...Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, Willie Stargell, and Eddie Murray. That's purty good company, and I had to go back a ways. That's just a few guys enshrined in that thing called the Hall of Fame, so to be clear, I AGREE with your point. For the record, I do not think Bags juiced.

@Nortexlefty: That also confused me. Aside from Caminiti, who admitted using, I can't think of anybody else (did Richard Hidalgo end up on a list? I can't remember). I don't think Pearlman's comments are very reflective of prevalent thinking.
The Rangers, on the other hand...

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson claims experience has taught him that young players have little chance of breaking into the Manchester City team.
Johnson spent two-and-a-half seasons at the Etihad Stadium before leaving in the summer after his first-team opportunities became limited to substitute appearances.
"Now, if I was a young lad, I wouldn't go to City," he told several morning newspapers. "It is excellent when a club like City come for you. Hard to turn down. But you don't actually play for the champions - you're a squad member, which is totally different."

Princeton Review 2009: Clarkson University One of Best Colleges
Clarkson University offers students a "demanding," "hands-on" and "absolutely innovative" academic environment according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features Clarkson in the new 2009 edition of its annual book, Best 368 Colleges. Only about 15% of America's 2, 500 four-year colleges and two Canadian colleges are selected for inclusion in the book.
In its profile on Clarkson, The Princeton Review quotes extensively from the Clarkson students surveyed for the book who describe themselves as "very smart," "hardworking" and "generally ambitious." Comments like "Companies love to hire future employees, here (at Clarkson)," and "We show so much school spirit, it's like the other team's fans aren't there!" highlight the school's track record for strong career preparation and placement, camaraderie among students and school spirit supporting Golden Knight athletic teams. Other comments referencing concrete buildings and the significance of life outdoors provide a backdrop for why the University is pursuing a new master plan to develop new learning and living facilities on campus and to reflect its proximity to the Adirondack Mountains. Clarkson was also given high marks in the review's new "Green Campus" ratings which recognize environmental practices, policies and course offerings. On a scale of 60 to 99, Clarkson achieved a 95.
Clarkson is consistently among the schools ranked well in both The Princeton Review's "Best Colleges" and U.S. News & World Report's annual issue of "Best Colleges," where Clarkson is listed as a top-tier national university. U.S. News also ranks the Clarkson School of Business Supply Chain Management Program as #11 in the nation and its engineering programs among the top 100 nationwide.
Defy Convention: Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park, Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed towards the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

"Marissa's Bag" is one of the most versatile purses you will ever find. First you will need a metal purse frame and then, just like an old-fashioned paper doll, you can dress the frame in one outfit after another. Translated that means you have several purses which all use the same metal purse frame - you just change the fabric purse body from one to another. The possibilities are endless! Since "Marissa" doesn't require a lot of fabric and is perfect for patchwork, it's so easy to combine coordinating odds and ends. You can make her plain and simple or dress her up with bits of lace and ribbon. Better yet - do both. You'll have so much fun it'll be like the famouse chip commercial - "you can't make just one!" Dressing the purse frame is a bit like hanging curtains on rods. You just slip the rod pocket over the curtain (purse) rod and it automatically is gathered and you're ready to go. Inside there's wall- to-wall pockets so you'll not only be beautiful - you'll be organized. We guarantee you'll love the look and will have tons of compliments when you carry your new "Marissa" bag. Dimensions: 11" wide x 7" high x 3.5" deep

Thursday, February 4th, 2010
President Obama just submitted a $3.8 trillion budget proposal, the largest federal budget ever, which will come with a "record amount of red ink." The projected deficit of that budget would be $1.6 trillion, yet the networks didn't criticize him for being spendy.
To put this in perspective: Obama is proposing a budget $700 billion larger than big spender Pres. George W. Bush's last budget. It's TWICE the size of Pres. Bill Clinton's last budget of $1.9 trillion, who was credited with generating a budget surplus.
Despite the "staggering" size of Obama's budget, which broadcast networks admitted was "dripping with red ink," the reports managed to paint him as a fiscal conservative and deficit slasher.
NBC's Savannah Guthrie portrayed all the excess spending as a way to get the economy back on track saying: "He's asking for $100 billion to spur job growth – things like tax cuts for small business, tax breaks to increase wages – and he's doing this knowing that it will drive up the deficit, certainly even more in the short term. But all economists agree the real way to get a chunk out of the deficit is to increase hiring."
But Guthrie was highlighting only a tiny fraction of the overall budget and failed to criticize the administration for not finding ways to cut more waste.
CBS's Bill Plante also agreed with Obama's spending priorities for the $3.8 trillion budget Feb. 1 when he said the president "needs" to spend right now.
"The president has a serious money problem. He needs to spend more money in the short-term to create jobs, but he desperately needs to spend a lot less over the long-term," Plante said on "The Early Show."
Obama began his budget announcement on Feb. 1 by once again passing the buck to "previous administrations." Clearly blaming Bush for what he termed a "decade of profligacy," Obama criticized the funding of two wars, prescription drug spending and tax cuts before presenting himself as a fiscal conservative.
ABC's David Muir must have bought it, because his Feb. 1 "World News" report echoed Obama. Muir pinned the record deficits on President Bush's tax cuts and war spending when he answered the question: "How did we get here?"
His timeline of the expanding federal deficit began with an image of Bush signing a bill and the words "Tax relief for America." This has long been the claim of the national news media. While Bush was certainly responsible for helping balloon the federal deficit, American's for Tax Reform's tax policy director Ryan Ellis told the Business & Media Institute the tax cuts weren't the problem, overspending was.
"The networks are stupid if they think tax cuts had anything to do with this," Ellis explained. Tax revenues were higher than the average when Bush took office, but fell before the tax cuts because of the dot-com bust and the 2001 recession.
"Federal tax revenues are much more dependent on the economy than they are on tax policy. Tax revenues ROSE as a percent of the economy in the years after the BTC (Bush Tax Cuts) became law. They only fell again when the economy imploded."
According to Ellis and others, the real problem is government spending. Even a budget expert with the liberal Brookings Institution told the Wall Street Journal that Obama's "proposals will still leave us with unsustainable deficits as far as the eye can see."
Yet, none of the broadcast network morning or evening news shows mentioned that Bush's last budget was $700 billion less than Obama's proposal for 2011 or that Clinton's last (nominal) budget was half its size.
A couple of those reports cited political dissatisfaction with Obama's budget but none actually criticized Obama for spending too much.
Obama the Fiscal Conservative
While it seems impossible that the media could paint the man proposing the largest federal budget in history as waste-cutting and fiscally responsible, that's exactly what they did.
NBC's "Nightly News" followed up its Feb. 1 budget report with a "Fleecing of America" report on waste in defense spending. Lisa Myers report highlighted one particular project that made Congress look bad and Obama look good the very same day he proposed massive spending increases.
"The C-17 cargo plane is the workhorse of the military. It carries troops and equipment to war zones, helps in a crisis like Haiti. Just about everyone agrees the C-17 is a terrific plane. But the Pentagon has said it has enough and wants to stop buying them. Still, Congress just voted to build 10 more planes. Cost: $2.5 billion. Today the president said this makes no sense," Myers said before cutting to video of Obama calling the project "waste, pure and simple."
An ABC report on Feb. 1 also made Obama out to be fiscally responsible. Jake Tapper reported, "On the same day President Obama introduced his massive budget, he acknowledged that government spending cannot continue at this pace."
Then he quoted Obama, who said, "The bottom line is this. We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money."
No one in that report suggested that was exactly what Obama's budget would do. Tapper quoted one Democrat and one Republican opposed to a piece of the budget, but did not consult anyone suggesting the budget as a whole is simply enormous and irresponsible.
Obama has requested $49.7 billion for the Dept. of Education, which appropriated $38.4 billion in 2000. He also plans to expand the budget for the Dept. of Energy to $28.4 billion. In 2000, that agency's budget was just under $15 billion according to historical tables on the OMB Web site.
Since Obama took office the networks have cheered for government spending on the stimulus package and bailouts, protected him from rising unemployment and now with the budget reports they've taken the spin to a whole new level by portraying the spendthrift as a cost-cutting champion.
Let the Administration Do the Talking
Network reports on Obama's budget favorably quoted administration officials (Obama, budget director Peter Orszag, press secretary Robert Gibbs) a number of times, but mostly ignored tax or economic experts critical of the budget.
All three networks' morning and evening newscasts reported the 2011 budget announcement on Feb. 1. In those reports, administration officials were quoted or interviewed seven times. Four other politicians were included in reports, but only a single economic expert was brought on. That was Robert Bixby of the Concord Coalition, a non-profit devoted to fiscal responsibility.
The networks should have consulted more budget and tax experts including Isabel Sawhill, a budget expert at the liberal Brookings Institution. The Wall Street Journal on Feb. 1 quoted her as saying, "'The pay-go rules will make it more difficult for Congress to dig the hole deeper but won't affect currently projected red ink; and the commission will likely be a paper tiger,' she wrote on Friday. 'In short, these proposals will still leave us with unsustainable deficits as far as the eye can see. It is depressing to discover that we can no longer even aspire to balance the budget once the recession is over.'"
Michael Pento, chief economist at Delta Global Advisors, called Obama's budget "so outrageously egregious that he had to hold a special press conference on Monday just to spin the news."
Pento warned that the massive federal deficits, which are projected to be between $700 billion and $1 trillion through 2002, will push the U.S. economy "over the cliff."
The Heritage Foundation examined the administration's budget proposals projecting the fiscal situation for 2010-2019 and found the budget would "permanently expand the federal government by nearly 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) over 2007 pre-recession levels."
Projections Often Miss the Mark by Billions
If you think a $3.8 trillion budget is bad, just wait and see what the government actually spends. The problem with budgets is that they are based on assumptions of revenue and spending and often, those don't come true.
CATO's Chris Edwards provided an example in the National Review online at CATO's Web site Feb. 1. He explained that in his first budget, Bush proposed to increase spending "at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011."
The problem? Despite Bush's projections federal spending actually rose even faster, hitting $3 trillion by 2008. If you exclude $112 billion for Obama's stimulus, Edwards said "the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had originally planned."
"The lesson from all this is that an administration's promised spending beyond the first year is meaningless," Edwards wrote.
Obama's budget also has plenty of assumptions in it that might not come true. Health care reform, which ABC's Jake Tapper described as on "life support" is figured into the budget, but potential costs of cap-and-trade are not. NBC proved its support for ObamaCare by saying that without its passage it would "tack on" another $150 billion to the deficit, since the 2011 budget assumes its cost savings.
According to Ellis, the budget also assumes an economic growth rate of 3 percent per year plus inflation. That he said is "rosy," given the fact that real GDP has averaged 2.89 percent since 1980.
University of Maryland economic professor Peter Morici was also skeptical: "If your staff economist tells you that [growth rates assumed in the budget] is realistic, fire him."
The network budget reports didn't provide that viewpoint.

Connecticut adds $16 million to boost school security after Newtown
Connecticut has released $16 million to boost school security, nearly a year after 26 people were massacred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Connecticut on Tuesday released an additional $16 million in state funding toward boosting security at school buildings, nearly a year after a gunman massacred 26 people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The funding follows an initial release of $5 million in September to pay for additions including bulletproof glass, panic alarms, surveillance cameras and other technology. Most of the initial funds were meant for Hartford, the state capital city and Bridgeport, its largest city.
"This allows us to continue to get resources out to the cities and towns that have begun work to modernize their security infrastructure and ramp up safety procedures at school buildings in the wake of the horrific events on December 14th," Governor Dannel Malloy at a gathering in the town of Farmington focused on school security.
"We must do everything possible to ensure that our students and teachers are safe," he added.
Malloy said the new funds, some generated through issuing state bonds, would be made available to 435 schools in 75 school districts, bringing the total number of schools with state security funding to 604 schools in 111 districts.
The leafy suburb of Newtown was shaken on December 14, 2012, when a gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire, killing 20 young children and six faculty and staff before turning his gun on himself.
The mass killing prompted Connecticut, as well as neighboring New York and nearby New Jersey, to pass laws tightening their already restrictive rules on gun ownership. An attempt to pass stiffer federal laws died in Congress, with gun-rights advocates saying tighter restrictions would penalize law-abiding gun owners while doing little to deter crime.
After the funding announcement, Malloy told reporters he was frustrated that state police officials had not yet released their report on the shooting, seen by some in the community as an important step toward closure.
"I am deeply frustrated that the report has not yet been finished, and can only hope that it is released later this week or by next week at the latest," Malloy said. "But they (the state police) don't work for me on this. If they did, this report would have been issued long ago. This is a discussion and situation that must come to an end."
The United States experienced another mass shooting in September, when a gunman at the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard killed a dozen workers having breakfast before police shot him dead.
