Isaac Sanders, once East Stroudsburg University's chief fundraiser, received a glowing employee review plus a raise within a month of being placed on leave over allegations that he sexually harassed several male students.
Isaac Sanders, once East Stroudsburg University's chief fundraiser, received a glowing employee review plus a raise within a month of being placed on leave over allegations that he sexually harassed several male students.
Recently filed court documents in a pending federal court case against Sanders cast new light on developments leading up to and following his placement on administrative leave over the allegations.
One week after placing Sanders on leave with pay on July 1, 2008, ESU's then-President Robert Dillman completed a six-page, satisfactory review of Sanders' job performance, according to court files.
The review covers Sanders' employment at the university from July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, and was signed and dated by Dillman on July 8, 2008.
In August 2007, the first young man involved in the case against Sanders filed sexual harassment charges, which were investigated by, and later dismissed, by university officials.
Sanders, who was director of the East Stroudsburg University Foundation and vice president for advancement at the time, was placed on administrative leave after the Pocono Record reported several other students were making similar allegations against him.
On Aug. 8, 2008, Dillman sent a letter to Sanders' home notifying him he was eligible for a raise and would receive a $6,800 increase to his $136,006 annual base salary.
The raise was retroactive to July 1, 2008, the day Sanders was placed on administrative leave.
Sanders was eventually fired on Oct. 22, 2008, after the completion of an outside investigation.
Dillman, who did not immediately return a phone call Friday for comment, did address the review and pay increase in a Dec. 21, 2011, deposition recently made public in court filings.
He asserted it was up to PASSHE to determine which managers received raises, but PASSHE officials last week said otherwise.
"I didn't give him a merit increase," Dillman said in his deposition.
"The PASSHE system gave him merit increases, correct, or the (PASSHE Board of Governors)?" asked Albert Murray, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case.
"He got pay raises like everybody else, but I never gave him a merit raise, per se," Dillman said.
Every few years, when the money is available, the PASSHE Board of Governor's adopts a policy setting aside a percentage of each university's budget to be used for merit raises, PASSHE Vice Chancellor for External Relations Karen Ball said on Tuesday.
This policy ensures that nonunion employees receive raises, she said. But it is officials from the individual universities who are responsible for completing performance evaluations and determining which employees are eligible for a raise.
"The employees all must receive completed performance evaluations, and based on their rating in that evaluation, it tends to drive the scale of the percentage (raise) the employee gets," Ball said. "It goes back to the university to decide who gets a raise."
In addition to the $6,800 raise Sanders received to his base salary in July 2008, he was also awarded a $10,000 bonus from the board of directors of the foundation in February 2007.
The "State System of Higher Education Management Performance Appraisal and Development Form" is an employee evaluation undertaken every fiscal year, according to court documents.
Each year, the employee being reviewed and their supervisor sit down to set out various goals related to the employee's job, Dillman said, according to court files. Dillman was Sanders' direct superior and therefore the supervisor who would conduct the review and help Sanders choose his goals.
Sanders is scored in each category on a scale of 1-3, or "below expectations," "at or above expectations" and "significantly exceeds expectations."
Dillman's remarks in the review show just how important Sanders was to ESU's fundraising endeavors.
Sanders was successful in securing the "largest scholarship gift in history from an ESU alumni, Betty Baltz," for more than $1 million, Dillman said in the review.
Sanders also "secured the largest gift annuity in ESU history of $100,000," and surpassed that year's Comprehensive Campaign goal of $3 million by $155,831.
Sanders repeatedly scored high marks throughout the review, which doesn't make any mention of the original sexual harassment charge filed against him in August 2007, or the administrative leave he was placed on just one week before the review was signed and dated by Dillman.
"The evaluation was for the prior period. It was the beginning of an investigation and that investigation certainly wouldn't have been done in a week," Ball said.
Sanders is scored in areas including, "Health of the University," "Job Specific Performance Areas," and "Teamwork and Collaboration."
"The success of the advancement office in achieving and exceeding its financial goals has been due to the leadership of Isaac Sanders," Dillman wrote. "Isaac has worked to improve diversity in his office and around the campus. He has been a very important team player in the senior staff "� . One caveat is the need for stable staffing and new hires that bring expertise to the organization."
Dillman gave Sanders an overall performance rating of 2.8 out of 3.

Tuesday, 29 January 2013 08:04 AM
LONDON — Britain on Tuesday boosted its offer of aid to help France fight Islamist rebels in Mali, and pledged troops to help other African governments in the region counter a rising tide of Islamist radicalism.
Up to 240 British troops could be deployed as part of two missions to train African troops, 40 in Mali as part of a European Union mission, and a further 200 in anglophone West African countries, Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman said.
At least 70 more British personnel could be involved in logistical and support missions. "It is an African operation in support of the Malian government and we think that the right way to do this is for regionally led forces to take the lead," the spokesman said, adding Britons would take no combat role.
The increased logistical support for France includes a ferry to transport troops and equipment to Africa, and allowing France and its allies to use Britain for air-to-air refueling.
Britain has also offered to set up a "Combined Joint Logistics Headquarters" in Mali, but France believes such a facility is not needed, Cameron's spokesman said, adding it would be kept under review.
A decision on whether to send up to 200 British soldiers on West African training missions is expected to be taken soon after African Union-led discussions in Addis Ababa, while talks are taking place in Brussels over troops for Mali.

(AP)—The Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning parents to be careful with those little single-load liquid laundry packets.
The agency says some of the chemicals in the packets are toxic, so they need to be kept away from children. Adults need to be careful handling them, too, CPSC says.
This year alone, the commission says it's received reports from consumers and poison control centers of about 500 incidents involving children and adults who were injured by the product.
Children have required hospitalization from ingesting the chemicals in the packets—suffering loss of consciousness, excessive vomiting, drowsiness, throat swelling, and difficulty breathing.
The chemicals have splashed in eyes, too—also resulting in medical treatment, CPSC said.

I believe in gratitude. I am deeply grateful for my family, our good health and the fact that, by all accounts, we live an exceptionally privileged life with everything we need — more than we need, in fact. I take nothing for granted: I am grateful for clean water, our safety and all of the things we never have to worry about. We know that our problems are of the first-world nature, and we all work hard to keep one another's perspective in check.
It would seem that gratitude — the attitude and philosophy that's been marketed to women in magazines, daytime talk shows and social media as the cure-all for discontent — is a perspective for all occasions that would serve your emotional health and well-being no matter what. But I beg to differ: Wholesale gratitude can be detrimental and damaging in certain circumstances.
As an expert in revenue generation, I work with lots of women as a coach and consultant, helping them negotiate their worth. Many of my clients have never asked for a raise in their entire career. While there are many layers to the gender divide regarding negotiation, one component is excessive gratitude — and it can limit self-advocacy and compromise professional advancement.
Women will tell me they are just grateful to have a job or note that their boss is kind to them — even if they know they are earning less than their colleagues or less than market rate. In a workshop I conducted for female attorneys on asking for your worth, one participant raised her hand and said, "I'm really lucky because my manager appreciates me, and I'm so grateful to be treated with decency."
I find this response both sad and frustrating because it reflects a compromised standard and low self-worth. Decency shouldn't replace appropriate remuneration — it should be a given. Kindness and respect will not pay your mortgage, fill your children's bellies or take care of you in your old age. When we lower our standards and expect very little, it shouldn't be surprising that we get very little.
But it's this attitude that prohibits women from negotiating salary increases. It clouds their judgment. When you accept less because your boss is a nice guy and the company is a pleasant place to work, you are making a decision to earn less than you rightly deserve. Even entrepreneurs fall prey to excessive gratitude when they score a big client and are so happy to have a client at all that they underprice themselves. Too much gratitude can suggest that you don't believe you are worthy or deserving of something you've earned, and this belief system can hold you back.
It's good be grateful, but don't allow gratitude to replace an analysis of your value. Be grateful and don't be afraid to make a case for what you deserve. Go to salary negotiations with a solid communication plan with facts.
Know what your position commands in the open market, present a portfolio of your work, demonstrate that you know your value and ask questions about what information they need to achieve your target salary. Come in with a plan and notes. Keep your emotions in check and remember that your contributions, experience and talents deserve to be appropriately compensated.

WALTHAM, Mass. — Brandeis University rookie Evan Jastremski (Marshfield, Mass./Marshfield) scored his first collegiate goal 3:50 into overtime tonight to lift the 19th-ranked Judges men's soccer team to a 2-1 win over visiting MIT. With the win, Brandeis improves to 3-0 on the season, while MIT falls to 2-1.
For the second time this season and sixth time since the start of 2012, Brandeis came from behind to win. The Engineers got off to a flying start, getting two shots in the first 22 seconds and forcing Brandeis junior Joe Graffy (Concord, N.H./Concord) to make an early save. MIT scored on their next attempt, however. The visitors worked the ball around, and senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa./Abington) found sophomore Austin Freel (San Diego, Calif./Torrey Pines) at the top of the box. Freel ripped a left-footed shot inside the right goalpost and past a diving Graffy for his third goal in as many games this season.
Brandeis would get off four of the next five shots before scoring the equalizer off a free kick in the 29th minute. Senior Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) drew a foul just outside the 18-yard box as he went to net. Ocel feigned the initial free kick, and senior reserve forward Tudor Livadaru (Bronx, N.Y./Riverdale-Kingsbridge Acad.) followed with a left-footed strike into the upper-right netting. The goal was the fifth of Livadaru's career. Graffy and MIT sophomore Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y./Commack) each had one more save in the first half to keep the score even as the Judges owned a 7-5 advantage in shots.
Brandeis dominated possession in the second half, taking seven shots to one for MIT, including a 4-0 edge in shots on goal, but Amareno was up to the task. He stopped Ocel twice, including an 81st-minute exchange in which Livadaru hit the post and Ocel collected the rebound. In overtime, Graffy made another early save on Freel before the game-winner from Jastremski in the 94th minute. Livadaru sent a ball into the offensive zone, and Jastremksi was able to break in behind the defense, beating a defender and Amereno to the ball for the tally. The assist was Livadaru's sixth of his career and marked his first three-point game.
Amareno finished with five saves for MIT in the losing effort, while Graffy had three stops for the Judges.
This marked the second-straight overtime win for Brandeis in their series with MIT. The Judges are now 30-24-3 against the Engineers in their second-most-played rivalry. Up next for the NSCAA's #19 squad is their most-frequent foe, Babson College, on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. MIT takes on Wentworth Saturday at 2 p.m. in their home opener.

Top boxing talent set for Rockingham ParkBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 09. 2014 10:05PM
There will definitely be a connection between Salem's Rockingham Park and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday when New Hampshire hosts the first International Boxing Association (AIBA)-sanctioned amateur boxing event on American soil between the talented Cuba Domadores and the United States Knockouts.
"Boxing fans throughout the state and region will have an opportunity to watch some of the best amateurs in the world who will be competing for a gold medal in the 2016 Olympics," said 30-year boxing promoter Al Valenti.
Doors at Rockingham Park open at 6:30 p.m., the bouts begin at 8 p.m. and an hour later, Univision will televise the last two hours to 88 countries.
"When you consider there's a huge Hispanic base throughout the world, if I had to attach a number to it, they'll be millions of viewers watching the bouts at Rockingham Park Saturday," said Valenti. Highlighting the card are the heavyweight, light flyweight and lightweight division bouts.
Undefeated, World Series of Boxing (WSB) No. 1-rated light flyweight, Cuba's Yosbany Veitia (5-0), will battle unbeaten USA 108-pound Anthony Chacon (2-0, 1 KO), the WSB No. 5-rated boxer from Puerto Rico.
In the lightweight match, 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Yasner Toledo (3-1), the WSB No. 2-rated Cuban, meets USA 132-pound and WSB No. 5 ranked Carlos Adames. Toledo captured a gold medal at the 2011 Pan-Am champion and was a two-time silver medalist at the World Championships.
American heavyweight Joshua Temple (0-2) challenges undefeated, WSB No. 1 201-pound Erislandy Savon (5-0, 2 KOs). The 6-foot-4 Temple, of St. Louis, is a 2014 USA Boxing National champion. Savon's uncle is three-time Olympic gold medalist Felix Savon, who was also a Cuban heavyweight.
The 23-year-old left-handed Savon took a gold medal home to Cuba from the 2008 World Youth Amateur Boxing Championships and 2009 Pan-American Games.
"As for the rosters, one has to remember that today Cuba's boxing program is the most prominent powerhouse in the world," said Valenti. "Boxing is to Cuba what ice hockey is to Canada. Boxing is part of Cuba's culture. Because this event is in the United States, there's a great opportunity on Saturday for an American boxer to make a statement and beat one of the best Cuban boxers in the world. They have a chance to seize that moment because when the Olympics roll around in Brazil in two years, Cuba will be favored to win the medals."
Three USA New England boxing matches start at 8 p.m. Middleweight John Xafaris of Nashua will be featured against Brian Paulino of Providence, R.I. After the card is completed, Rockingham Park will show the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley pay-per-view fight live from Las Vegas on closed circuit screens. Saturday's fights are also sanctioned by the New Hampshire Boxing & Wrestling Commission, headed by chairman Bobby Stephen. Ticket prices at Rockingham Park are $50 for VIP reserved ringside (first two rows) and $20 for general admission.

New Law Says Creationism Is A-OK in Tennessee Public Schools
2012's Make America Magic campaign is going strong in Tennessee where, earlier this week, a bill permitting public school discussion of creationism alongside evolutionary-based explanations for the origins of life became law.
Republican Governor Bill Haslam had initially planned to sign the bill, but backed down when he received a 3,000-signature petition against the proposed legislation. It was able to become law without his signature, though (and could have gone through even if he'd vetoed it, thanks to a legislative simple majority), so everybody wins in the end.
Governor Haslam sort of but not really defended the bill on Tuesday, saying:
"I do not believe that this legislation changes the scientific standards that are taught in our schools or the curriculum. I also don't believe that it accomplishes anything."
Senate Bill 893 requires teachers to permit a discussion of "alternative theories" to issues like evolution and climate change in their classrooms. While educators are not allowed to raise the topic of these alternative theories themselves, they must explore them if a student brings them up, meanings kids all over Tennessee have a new way to stall classroom time indefinitely.
The bill also states that teachers cannot be punished for "helping students to understand, analyze, critique and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories."
Eighty-seven years ago, schoolteacher John Scopes was punished for teaching evolution in a public high school. That was in Tennessee too, which gives this whole monkey business a nice symmetry.
Said Jerry Winters, the director of government relations for the Tennessee Education Association, to Reuters:
"With all the emphasis now on science, math and technology, this seems like a real step backwards."
The American Civil Liberties Union and the Tennessee teachers union opposed this delicious blended Frappuccino of church and state.
Tennessee is the second state, after Louisiana, to adopt such a law.

Auburn has hired University of Minnesota deputy athletic director David Benedict as chief operating officer for the athletic department.
Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs announced the hiring Tuesday for the newly created position. Benedict will oversee the day-to-day operations of the department.
Jacobs says Benedict "is a proven, results-driven leader with outstanding credentials."
Jacobs announced the new position in July, along with plans to hire a chief marketing officer. Ward Swift filled the latter position.
He says the Auburn's operating budget for athletics has grown from $47 million to $102 million since he took over in 2004.
Benedict had been Minnesota's deputy athletic director since 2012 responsible for supervising sports and student-athlete welfare.

Kobe Bryant has led the Los Angeles Lakers back to the NBA finals. As a result, Bryant is once again the toast of the league. An article in the current issue of Sports Illustrated, for example, contends that no current NBA player can compare to Bryant and implies that the proper comparison is to Michael Jordan. As for Lebron James, the article quotes one NBA scout as follows: "The difference between Kobe and LeBron James is the difference between a Maserati and a Volvo."
However, a look at this year's regular season statistics suggests otherwise. I am not aware of statistics that meaningfully measure defensive performance (for what it's worth the two players' steals per game are identical and LeBron has more than twice as many blocked shots). But when it comes to statistics that measure offense and rebounding, LeBron clearly does not take a backseat to Kobe; if anything it may be the other way around.
Here are the numbers (minutes per game are nearly the same):
Points per game — LeBron 30.0; Kobe 28.3
Rebounds per game — LeBron 7.9; Kobe 6.3
Assists per game — LeBron 7.2; Kobe 5.4
Assist to turnover ratio — LeBron 2.11; Kobe 1.72
Two point shooting percentage — LeBron .531; Kobe .490
Three point shooting percentage — LeBron .315; Kobe .361
Blended shooting efficiency — LeBron .518; Kobe .503
Free throw shooting percentage — LeBron .713; Kobe .840
Made free throws per game — LeBron 7.3; Kobe 7.6
Thus, the only areas where Kobe has a significant advantage are three point shooting percentage and free throw percentage. But LeBron's superior two point shooting percentage more than offsets Kobe's edge from beyond the three point line. This is shown by the blended shooting efficiency number, which takes into account the extra value of the three point shot (in other words going 3 for 5 on two point shots becomes the equivalent of going 2 for 5 on three pointers because in both cases 5 shots produce six points). And Kobe's edge in accuracy from the free throw line is offset to a significant degree by the fact that LeBron gets to line 1.3 times per game more often than Kobe (10.3 attempts compared to 9.0 attempts).
To be sure, Kobe has led his team to the NBA finals. But LeBron did this last year. And this year, his team was a few bounces away from defeating the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. The Celtics have the best record in the NBA and will face the Lakers in the finals.
At age 23, LeBron has demonstrated that he can take a mediocre supporting cast deep into the playoffs. Kobe, when surrounded by a mediocre cast (about which he complained incessantly) during the three seasons before this one, missed the playoffs once and was eliminated in the first round twice, albeit in a tougher conference. Kobe may be better than LeBron, but I couldn't find objective evidence that shows this to be the case.

What annoys couples most when travelling together?
Few experiences are more romantic than laying on a warm, secluded beach with the person you love most, thousands of kilometres away from your worries.
Of course, a week of incredible closeness at a fab resort can quickly turn nightmarish for couples as those quirks you once tolerated in moderation at home – think loud snoring or tardiness – begin to peck away at any romantic vacation vibes.
According to a recent survey by online dating network Zoosk.com, 18% of Canadians say vacationing with their honey 24/7 was an "eye-opening experience" that revealed habits they wished remained hidden. Ten per cent of Canadians surveyed by Zoosk added travelling with their significant other was a frustrating experience, while another 5% said the trip was so bad, they couldn't wait to get home.
According to Canadian men surveyed by Zoosk, the most annoying habits of their female travel partners includes carrying too much luggage, being disorganized, being high maintenance and arriving late at the airport.
Women, meanwhile, say their male counterparts snore too loudly, are messy and are disorganized on vacation.
Both sexes worry about bothering each other after spending so much time together, with 5% of men admitting they worry their snoring will irritate their partner.
Shannon Tebb, certified Life Coach and Dating and Relationship Expert for Zoosk.com, says it's how you deal with annoyances that will save or break your relationship.
"If you're taking a trip together, you should already be at a point in your relationship where you are comfortable sharing your feelings and talking out problems," Tebb said in a press release. "If you feel like you're getting on each other's nerves, try and diffuse the situation with humor. Most things couples worry or stress about are not 'serious issues', so it helps to realize this and laugh about the situation together."
Zoosk.com surveyed 1,001 Canadians about their experiences travelling as a couple.

I don't know either core.async nor core.match very well. My best guess is a undesired interaction between the nonlocal control flow for backtracking and the core.async state machine.
Note that this is a version of core.async where http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/ASYNC-15 is fixed.
This is not a bug, it's not possible to use <! outside of go blocks.
Does that count as outside? Anyway, this should not be outside. Same problem.
(defn fails [] (go (let [m (<! (go ["qux" "foo"]))] (.log js/console (match m ["qux" "bar"] 1 ["qux" x] x)))))
(defn fails [] (go (let [m (<! (go ["qux" "foo"]))] (.log js/console (match m ["qux" "bar"] 1 ["qux" x] x)))))
Sorry missed the surrounding go! However note tickets about interaction between core.match and core.async are extremely low priority without more information about whether the bug is actually in ASYNC or in MATCH. I just don't have the bandwidth to do that sort of investigation at the moment.
Still, thanks for the report.
I see. I'm not so sure whether I should report this to ASYNC, any thoughts?
I'm not familiar with either library, but I'll try to investigate further when I have the time.
For now, I guess I'll do more stupid matching. It really is a shame, core.match is a perfect fit for dispatching on messages and channels coming from alts!. Anyways, thanks for your work!
Is this still a problem? I think core.async recently added better analysis of the dot form.
Hi, thanks for thinking about this. I got side tracked and did not look into it any further.
Unfortunately it still does not work.
Tested versions:

[org.clojure/core.async "0.1.242.0-44b1e3-alpha"]

Phoronix: Blender Game Engine Tech Demo
For several months the Blender and Crystal Space projects have been working together to develop an open-source game they hope will be of a professional quality and deliver an industry standard 3D gaming experience. This game, now called Yo Frankie, was supposed to be released at the end of August, but that deadline wasn't met. However, released now is the first technology demo for the Blender Game Engine. This tech demo is playable and includes a small level from Yo Frankie, but to be released soon will be a more game-oriented demo that includes additional characteristics and game-play options.

From Baghdad comes news of a popular uprising against al Qaeda:
A battle raged in west Baghdad on Thursday after residents rose up against al-Qaida and called for U.S. military help to end random gunfire that forced people to huddle indoors and threats that kept students from final exams, a member of the district council said.
U.S. forces backed by helicopter gunships clashed with suspected al- Qaida gunmen in western Baghdad's primarily Sunni Muslim Amariyah neighborhood in an engagement that lasted several hours, said the district councilman, who would not allow use of his name for fear of al-Qaida retribution.
[T]he councilman said the al-Qaida leader in the Amariyah district, known as Haji Hameed, was killed and 45 other fighters were detained.
Members of al-Qaida, who consider the district part of their so-called Islamic State of Iraq, were preventing students from attending final exams, shooting randomly and forcing residents to stay in their homes, the councilman said.
We have noted a number of similar stories over the past several years. No doubt a large majority of Iraqis have little sympathy for al Qaeda and other extremist groups, and want the violence to end. Whether that majority has been unable or unwilling to assert itself effectively, or whether there are simply too many Iraqis (albeit certainly a minority) who are content to perpetrate or condone violence, is hard to say. But it is very late in the day for the "silent majority" to make itself heard.
Another story out of Iraq is that American military commanders are talking to various insurgent groups about a cease-fire:
U.S. military commanders are talking with Iraqi militants about cease-fires and other arrangements to try to stop the violence, the No. 2 American commander said Thursday.
Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno said he has authorized commanders at all levels to reach out to militants, tribes, religious leaders and others in the country that has been gripped by violence from a range of fronts including insurgents, sectarian rivals and common criminals.
"We are talking about cease-fires, and maybe signing some things that say they won't conduct operations against the government of Iraq or against coalition forces," Odierno told Pentagon reporters in a video conference from Baghdad.
This, too, is another in a series of similar reports extending over a period of years. From time to time, various groups have been said to agree to lay down their arms. But it seems pretty clear that there are still more than enough Iraqis and foreigners who want to keep firing to frustrate such efforts, especially when the die-hard insurgents see the level of agitation for withdrawal here in the U.S.

Reassembly is in reverse order and takes only seconds.
Scout style. The barrel on BLR Takedown models is factory drilled and tapped for an optional Browning forward-mounted scout-style scope base to provide a rock-solid optics mounting platform, allowing you to remove the barrel for transportation and storage without losing your scope's zero.

Grand Trunk Railroad Grain Elevator, Portland, 1901Item 5856 info
Maine Historical Society
The growth of industry in mid nineteenth century Maine created a need for manpower, much of which was filled by immigrants.
Irish immigrants worked on ambitious engineering projects like the Grand Trunk Railroad and the Cumberland and Oxford Canal.
J.B. Brown's Portland Sugar House, Portland, ca. 1850Item 6673 info
Maine Historical Society
Portland's industry used the inexpensive labor of the Irish to further its interests.
John Bundy Brown's sugar factory, located adjacent to one of Portland's two large Irish neighborhoods, employed scores of the Irish, as did the Portland Company, which produced locomotives, railroad cars, and ship engines.
Gorham's Corner, Portland, ca. 1904Item 6674 info
Maine Historical Society
Prejudice against the Irish grew strong in the 1830s in Maine and elsewhere, in conjunction with the start of a large flood of Irish immigration.
Newspaper reports of the day described Irish sections of Maine cities, like Gorham's Corner in Portland and "Dublin" in Bangor, as filthy and unruly.
Third phase, burning of Old South Church, Bath, 1854Item 5208 info
Maine Historical Society
The Irish immigrants came at a time of economic and social change in the United States.
Competition for jobs between native-born Americans and immigrants, along with a rise in anti-Catholic sentiment, led to much ill will toward the Irish.
The political manifestation of this movement, called the American Party or "Nativists," used the Irish as scapegoats for society's problems and party activists created a volatile atmosphere in Maine.
In 1854, a Bath mob burned the building being used as the Catholic Church and ravaged the homes of Irish Catholics.
Portland Longshoremans Benevolent Society bylaws, 1881Item 6750 info
Maine Historical Society
In the face of such discrimination and difficult working conditions, people of Irish descent grouped together to pull themselves out of poverty.
They played active roles in organizations like trade unions. The largely Irish Portland Longshoreman's Benevolent Association formed in order to "insure their private as well as general interests and protect themselves from arbitrary employers."
McGlinchey's Brewery, Portland, ca. 1850Item 6677 info
Maine Historical Society
The Irish began to move into the middle classes in larger numbers, as Irish-owned businesses became more common.
McGlinchy's brewery in Portland was one of the last to be shut down before Prohibition.
Brothers James and Patrick McGlinchy owned two breweries, including one that is in what is now South Portland.
James McGlinchy (1822-1880) died with an estate valued at $200,000, making him by far the wealthiest Irishman in the area.
Freedom For Ireland, ca. 1900Item 6676 info
Maine Historical Society
The Fenian movement, which garnered financial support from Irish-Americans for an independent Ireland, expanded ties to the Irish motherland.
This secure psychological connection with Ireland helped to form strong bonds across class lines within the Irish-American community and aided in raising the fortunes of the community as a whole.
In the late 1860s, Portland had two "circles" of the Fenians, each led by a "centre." The Fenians planned to help the Irish cause by invading British-owned Canada, and there was much conflict in Eastport, but nothing really ever came of it.
Machine Shop employees of the Portland Company, 1887Item 5518 info
Maine Historical Society
Like most immigrant groups, the Irish began their American experience in the lower echelons of society.
Many were able to transcend the discrimination and economic adversity of nineteenth century Maine and make enormous contributions to the state's development.
By the close of the century, Irish Americans established themselves as a vital part of the state's social fabric.

Maine Historical Society
Bibliographic Essay:
Some of the best modern scholarship on the Irish in America comes from Kerby Miller. His essay "Class, Culture, and Immigrant Group Identity in the United States: The Case of Irish-American Ethnicity," provided the background for this story (in Virginia Yans-Mclaughlin Ed., Immigration Reconsidered, New York: Oxford University Press, 1990).
One book on the situation of Maine's Irish in the nineteenth century is James Mundy's Hard Times, Hard Men: Maine and the Irish 1830-1860 (Scarborough, Maine: Harp Publications, 1990).
The most recent book about the Irish in Maine is They change their sky: the Irish in Maine, edited by Michael C. Connolly (Orono, Maine: University of Maine Press, 2004.)

Sony goes inorganic for 'eye popping' OLED TV rival
'Crystal' set contains 6m LEDs
Sony is using the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to show off its answer to 55in OLED TVs from LG and Samsung. No, not another OLED, but a "crystal LED" set with a screen based on more traditional, inorganic LED tech.
The 55in, 1920 x 1080 telly contains more than six million "ultrafine" LEDs, three each of red, green and blue hue to create each of the full HD panel's 2m-odd pixels.
As Sony says, LED - whether organic or inorganic - "results in images with strikingly higher contrast in both light and dark environments, wider color gamut, superb video image response time, and wider viewing angles when compared to existing LCD and plasma displays".
So that's a 180deg; viewing angle, 100 per cent of NTSC colour range, and a brightness of 400cd/m² in the case of the Sony "revolutionary" screen.
Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer said it will "make your eyes pop, we hope".
The set consumes a lot less power too: under 70W in operation, compared to over 100W for an LED-backlit LCD.
Sony said it will "work conscientiously" to bring the crystal LED telly to market, so it can't yet say when this will be. It had better hurry - Samsung's 55in OLED TV will be out later this year.
Sony admitted it is continuing work on OLED panel development. Just in case, you understand... ®

Apple Tries Its Hand at Discounts, Refurbs
Nov 21, 2012 5:00 AM PT
This Friday marks the unofficial kickoff of the holiday season, as many stores open early to offer some of the best deals of the season, and this year, Apple is getting in on the fun.
Discounts are unusual for Apple, but it teased the Black Friday deals that only will be available Nov. 23, both online and in its retail stores. It did not say which products specifically would be discounted, or by how much. Last year, customers could save about US$40-60 on iPads and up to $101 on some laptop and desktop computers.
Apple also debuted its own eBay Apple store this week, full of refurbished goods, just in time for the busy shopping season.
Broken or touched up iPods, MacBooks and iPads have long been made available by third-party sellers on the discount online retail site, but this new Web storefront is run by Apple itself, 9 to 5 Mac reported.
The Apple products available for sale are given a tuneup that restores them to like-new condition, repackaged and sent through a quality inspection by Apple, according to the store page. They also come with a 14-day return policy.
Our Products, Our Profit
Apple is more widely known as an elite brand that can get away with slapping a premium price tag on its products, said e-commerce consultant Rob Abdul. So, it's a wise move by the company to acknowledge that its customers want the Apple-branded, quality products at a lower price, even if they are a generation behind.
"I think it is a very smart move that Apple has opened an eBay store," he told the E-Commerce Times. "After many years of manufacturing and multiple product lines such as the iPod, iPod nano, iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc., there now is an increasingly growing secondhand, refurbished market of Apple products. With the global markets recovering from an economic slowdown and austerity measures, disposable incomes are tight, however the desirability and appeal of the Apple brand remains sky-high."
Third-party sellers have already cornered that market on sites such as eBay and Amazon, so it's no surprise the company notorious for taking control would want in on the profits, too, Abdul noted.
"Apple recognizes that there is a buck or two to be made in this aftermarket and has taken the matter into its own hands to maximize takings," he pointed out. "This is a multichannel strategy by Apple."
Talking With Friends?
Old patent battles continue to plague the company. The U.S. International Trade Commission announced this week that it would review a decision that Apple had not violated a handful of Samsung patents pertaining to wireless technology and data transmission when it made its popular mobile devices.
The ITC made its preliminary decision about the case earlier this year, but decided to review the case rather than uphold the judge's decision. The court is expected to decide in January whether or not to overturn the ruling, which could possibly cause some of Apple's mobile devices to be banned for sale in the U.S.
The battle is part of the larger, worldwide patent battle between the two, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing. Apple might be reaching out to lessen the battle between one of its other chief rivals, however, as it agreed to explore arbitration options in its cases with Google's Motorola Mobility. The two industry leaders are in a court battle over standard-essential patents, with Apple arguing that Motorola was misusing those and claiming unfair royalties.
Earlier this month, Motorola raised the possibility of arbitration, and Apple said this week in a court filing it would be open to discussing the dispute between the two companies. They might not become fast friends or even work out a licensing deal, but the willingness to arbitrate could be a sign that the major players in the tech industry are sick of waging global patent battles, said Roman Tsibulevskiy, patent attorney at Goldstein Law Offices.
"I think the potential arbitration agreement means that some important people inside those companies currently believe that this patent war is unduly long, costly and tiresome without tangible material results," he told MacNewsWorld. "These may be signs that more practical view may be prevailing. Money spent on these wars is not spent on innovating but on trying to legally out maneuver each other. Perhaps with stock market down, some executives just want this to end to direct the money for something more productive."
Of course, that doesn't mean the company is giving up on making legal gains, he pointed out.
"From Apple's point of view, it may be that Apple is slowly ending these massive patent fights to focus more on Samsung," Tsibulevskiy noted, "since once Google's Motorola is taken care of, I think only Samsung remains."
Apple did not respond to our request to comment for this story.

GateHouse News ServiceEd McCaskey has lived with Parkinson�s disease for six years, and now he�s trying to help others like him mitigate some of their symptoms through exercise.
McCaskey, 59, was diagnosed with Parkinson�s in 2006. He lives in Roscoe, Ill., and he joined the Stateline Family YMCA Roscoe Branch the same year, and he typically works out five days a week.
Exercise has been found to help reduce some of the symptoms like shaking and tremors associated with Parkinson�s. That is why the YMCA of Greater Cleveland in Ohio developed a program called Pedaling for Parkinson�s with the help of Cleveland Clinic physician Dr. Jay L. Alberts, a staff member with the Biomedical Engineering Center for Neurological Restoration.
The program � in which participants exercise on indoor spin/cycling bikes and tandem bikes � launched earlier this year, and McCaskey read about it in a Parkinson�s newsletter and pitched it to his local YMCA. Research by Cleveland Clinic showed a 35 percent reduction in symptoms with the act of pedaling a bicycle at a rapid pace � optimally 80 to 90 revolutions per minute.
The YMCA staff in Roscoe, Ill., agreed, and the one-hour class will meet three days a week starting Sept. 24 through Nov. 16. It�s free to YMCA members and nonmembers alike.
Some class participants may need a relative or friend to drive them to the class, and McCaskey said YMCA officials will let those people use the Y facilities free of charge while they wait during the class.
More than 1 million people nationally are living with Parkinson�s disease, and nearly 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, according to the National Parkinson Foundation. Parkinson�s is a chronic degenerative disease that occurs when nerve cells in parts of the brain stem die or degenerate.
McCaskey recently traveled to Washington state and tried the Pedaling for Parkinson�s class there. It was pretty easy for the marathon runner and regular spin-class participant, but he said it�s a great opportunity for Parkinson�s patients to get moving and realize the benefits of exercise.
�I�m still pretty lucky because my symptoms are minimal,� McCaskey said. �After a good workout, a lot of those symptoms dissipate for a good part of the day. The exercise recommendation came from my doctor, but following up on it really reinforces what he says. I�m experiencing the positive benefits.�
Pedaling for Parkinson's: A workout that may help reduce shaking, tremors

O'Neill, Miller Notch 3 Points Each
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey, was critical of his team's inability to get shots to the net in last night's loss. Forty-nine shots and six goals later his No. 20 ranked Bulldogs came away with two points and a 6-2 win over Princeton before a sellout crowd at Ingalls Rink.
Six different Elis hit the net while Brian O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.) and Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) each had three points. Jeff Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alb.) stopped 23 of 25 shots and three of four man-advantages to earn the win between the pipes.
"I am really pleased with the way we played. We were winning races and we put the puck in the right places and went hard to the net," said Allain.
Yale brought the early heat on the Princeton goal, but the Tigers survived and notched the game's first tally at the other end. Marc Hagel, the beneficiary of a juicy rebound, sent the puck back from the high slot inside the right post at 8:31.
Before the drop of the puck on the ensuing faceoff, simultaneous Yale infractions resulted in a two-minute Princeton advantage. Yale seized the momentum by not allowing a shot on goal, and then it was Miller time. Miller had the puck in the left circle, wheeled around to create more space and avoid a defender, and fed Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ), who was moving toward the goal from the high slot. The pass allowed Agostino to unleash a low blast that zipped into the net low on the glove side of Mike Condon (43 saves) at 10:37.
The Elis made it two straight on an unassisted Trent Ruffolo (Coral Springs, Fla.) goal at 15:36 of a first period that had Yale with a 17-11 advantage in shots. Nicholas Weberg (Oslo, Norway) caused a turnover in the Princeton end along the boards with a hit. Ruffolo took it from the point and blasted a shot from the top of the slot for his second of the year.
Princeton came close to making it 2-2 with two grade-A chances early in the second, but a moment later Kevin Limbert (Fruitvale, BC) gave Yale a two-goal lead on a rebound put-back. Chad Ziegler (Spruce Grove, Alb.) had the initial shot and Limbert crashed the net and connected from the middle slot at 3:30 for his first of the year. Charles Brockett (Shaker Heights, Ohio) started the play by grabbing the puck at the point and getting it to his linemate. It was the only goal of a wild, hard-hitting second period in which the Elis had 16 of the 22 shots on target.
The home team used a great 4-on-3 power play midway through the second to pelt the Princeton net with rubber. Condon, who had 30 saves through 40 minutes, came up with four big saves to prevent a score, and his teammate, Andrew Calof, nearly scored a shorthander. Malcolm came up with a solid stop on the breakaway after the Blue mishandled a puck at the Princeton blueline.
Yale's fourth straight tally came off an O'Neill (11th goal) power-play, one-timer. The captain's blast from the top of the left circle was set up by another great Miller feed at 4:24 to make it 4-1.
"We got a lot of shots to the net tonight," said O'Neill. "Simplifying the game and getting pucks to the net is what we did. That means shooting quicker, and they don't have to be hard. Just getting simple pucks to the net."
Bob Prier, Princeton's first-year head coach, decided to pull his goalie when Yale was called for a penalty with 13:16 left in regulation. It took a minute and 57 seconds of the advantage, but the Tigers cut the lead in half. Derrick Pallis' low wrister from the top of the slot got past Malcolm at 8:40.
The teams were a combined 0-for-5 on the advantage heading into the third period; there were three power-play goals in the third. After all his great puck distribution, Miller got rewarded with his third goal of the season at 11:19. He followed up a nasty O'Neill shot to increase the lead to 5-2.
Condon was pulled again with just under six minutes left and his team up a man. This time it backfired when Ziegler (5th) flipped home a long shot from just inside the red line.
The Yale defense, which held its opposition to just 25 shots on goal for a second straight night, deserved a lot of credit for this victory.
"We certainly haven't given up many scoring chances over the last two games. We played good, solid, structured defense," said Allain.
The Brockett brothers were playing against each other tonight. Charles, the senior forward for Yale, was playing against Tucker, a freshman Tiger forward. Two seconds after the final buzzer sounded, they hugged at center ice… The 49 shots on goal tied for the second most by the Blue this year; the Elis had 53 against Sacred Heart and 49 against UConn… Yale's lineup was the same as Friday night… The Bulldogs came out of the locker room wearing their jerseys to sign posters for more than 400 kids as part of Yale Hockey Youth Day.

Poetry Dispatch No. 17 | October 20, 2005
Poem to Be Read at 3 a.m. by Donald Justice
Excepting the diner
On the outskirts
The town of Ladora
At 3 a.m.
Was dark but
For my headlights
And up in
One second-story room
A single light
Where someone
Was sick or
Perhaps reading
As I drove past
At seventy
Not thinking
This poem
Is for whoever
Had the light on
I have received a number of comments about the origin of the inscription above, as well as an occasional question concerning proper grammar (case). The line, for me, became one of those unforgettable lines of poetry which unknowingly takes permanent residence inside us, ready to be referenced at any time and place.
The poem where the line appeared (and still belongs in full measure) surfaced more than twenty-five years ago for me at a time when I was living an on-the road-writer's existence, Door County to Chicago (a pathway/lifeline of freelance writing I pursued for ten years), forever finding my way between two places, all hours of the day and night, passing through fields and small towns.
A kind of a dream state: city life, country life. Writing stories and poems in my head while speeding through rural landscapes, loving the light in barns early in the morning… slowing down through small towns in pitch dark…finding comfort in the window light from farmhouses hovering in the night air like blessings.

Smart ID Cards for Education
Secure the Campus While Providing Essential Services
From universities to primary schools, a revolution in technology is taking shape. The days when mundane tasks such as registration, book purchases, and meal programs required an army of administrators to manage piles of paperwork is but a digital page in today's history e-books. Twenty-first-century innovation is bringing automation— and a chance to improve security—to the campus.
With education costs skyrocketing, departments at all levels are looking for ways to do more with less—trimming expenses while maximizing staff productivity. Add the looming threats to campus security, and educators must make decisions that balance quality of education with protecting our students. In fact, the 2011 Campus Safety magazine's "How Safe Is Your Campus?" report revealed that 52 percent of faculty said their institutions fail to dedicate sufficient resources to campus safety and security.
The simple answer relies on the same technology that corporations use—secure smart ID cards. Embedded with "smart" features such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and tamper-resistant laminates, education campuses can realize a wide range of benefits, from tightening security, to streamlining admission, to improving paid services. Read on to find out how you can benefit from smart cards, and learn how your school district can do more with less.
