Homeland Security�s New $3.9 Billion Headquarters: "For Meetings"
By Devin Leonard | Bloomberg BusinessWeek President Barack Obama is trying to solve big problems in his proposed 2014 budget. His efforts to curtail entitlement spending have gotten most of the headlines. But he also seems determined to complete the U.S. Department of Homeland Security�s new headquarters, the largest federal construction project since the Pentagon rose in the 1940s. The cost: $3.9 billion.
The project would unite at a single location nearly all DHS�s 22 divisions devoted to thwarting terrorists and safeguarding the populace from natural and manmade disasters. The site is the campus of St. Elizabeth Hospital, a former federal asylum that was once the home of poet Ezra Pound and John Hinckley, Ronald Reagan�s would-be assassin. There would be 4.5 million square feet of workspace in the new facility and ample employee parking.

Latest Ruling Against Cigarette Warnings is Not Surprising – Still Wrong on the Law and the Science
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following is a statement of Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080918/CFTFKLOGO) Today’s ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon blocking implementation of new, graphic cigarette warning labels is not surprising given his earlier decision to issue a preliminary injunction against the warnings. Today’s ruling is again wrong on the science and the law. It is incomprehensible that Judge Leon would conclude that the warnings are “neither factual nor accurate” when they unequivocally tell the truth about cigarette smoking – that it is addictive, harms children, causes fatal lung disease, cancer, strokes and heart disease, and can kill you. What isn’t factual or accurate about these warnings? Not even the tobacco industry disputes these facts.
We’re pleased that the U.S. Department of Justice has already appealed the earlier ruling and is working to preserve this critical requirement of the landmark 2009 law giving the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco products. If allowed to stand, Judge Leon’s rulings would make it impossible to implement any effective warning labels.
It is obvious why tobacco companies filed this suit. They continue to spend billions of dollars to play down the health risks of smoking and glamorize tobacco use. These new warnings will tell the truth about how deadly and unglamorous cigarette smoking truly is. Research has found that pack-a-day smokers could be exposed to cigarette health warnings more than 7,000 times per year. The new warnings provide a powerful incentive for smokers to take the life-saving step of quitting and for kids never to try that first cigarette.
Judge Leon’s rulings ignore the overwhelming scientific evidence about the need for the new cigarette warnings and their effectiveness. They also ignore decades of First Amendment precedent that support the right of the government to require strong warning labels to protect the public health. Given the overwhelming evidence of the need for these warnings and the tobacco industry’s own admission of the factual accuracy of the warning statements, we are confident that this decision will not be the last word on the new warnings. It is but one decision in a long legal battle that could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, and another federal judge has already upheld the law’s requirement for large, graphic cigarette warnings. Studies around the world and evidence presented to the FDA have repeatedly shown that large, graphic warnings, like those adopted by the FDA, are most effective at informing consumers about the health risks of smoking, discouraging children and other nonsmokers from starting to smoke, and motivating smokers to quit (see our fact sheet summarizing the evidence at: http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/research/factsheets/pdf/0325.pdf). Because of that evidence, at least 43 other countries now require large, graphic cigarette warnings.
Legally, these rulings ignore the extensive record established by Congress showing that the warnings are consistent with the First Amendment – a record that led another federal judge to uphold the warnings requirement. In January 2010, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph H. McKinley in Bowling Green, Kentucky, relied on a wealth of scientific studies and legal precedent. Noting that the labels accurately convey the health risks of smoking, Judge McKinley said: “The government’s message is objective and has not been controversial for decades.” He ruled that the new warning labels are legal because they are “sufficiently tailored” to meet the government’s substantial interest in effectively alerting the public to the dangers of smoking.
The graphic warnings were mandated by a large, bipartisan majority of Congress. Lawmakers relied on an extensive record showing that the current, text-only warnings – which are printed on the side of cigarette packs and haven’t been updated since 1984 – are unnoticed and stale. The new warnings serve the compelling goal of reducing the death and disease caused by tobacco use, which kills more than 400,000 Americans and costs the nation $96 billion in health care expenditures each year.

This newsletter is brought to you through the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. March, 2008 Distributed by the Global Marine Initiative All New Reef Resilience Website!
We are thrilled to announce that the first in a series of major renovations at http://www.reefresilience.org/ has been completed and has just gone LIVE! There are many new features on the site including a discussion forum where users can post and answer questions, an archive of past issues of this newsletter, and access to other marine conservation toolkits that have been recently developed. On the homepage you will find a variety of resources including case studies, resilience training materials, MPA publications and resources (including summaries of many peer-reviewed journal papers), and a variety of partner resources with direct links to most of them. We will be updating this site on a quarterly basis, so if you have resources you would like to share – please send them to [email protected]. We hope that you will have a look and let us know what you think about the new site. We are always open to suggestions! For those that want a closer look, we will be hosting some conference calls to walk you through the new site in March– please contact us if you are interested in participating. This is your place to exchange information and learn what is new so please check out the site! R2 Toolkit Update: Work has begun to revise the Reef Resilience Toolkit based on feedback from the survey last year. We will be adding new case studies and updating the science and recommendations in order to incorporate what has been learned during the past four years. The next version will be launched at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona in October. The new toolkit will be available via the web and in CD-ROM. Back to top » Florida Reef Resilience Program Conference
How will coral reefs, and the people who depend upon them, adapt to global climate change? How will reef managers respond to changing reef conditions and changes in the ways that people use reefs? Join the Florida Reef Resilience Program (FRRP) partners and interested individuals from around the world to explore these and other questions about the current status and potential future of coral reefs in Key Largo, Florida, on April 22-24, 2008. For more information please visit the FRRP website. Contact Shirley Gun for information about fee waiver eligibility. FRRP Background: The Florida Reef Resilience Program (FRRP) is a multi-year effort to develop management approaches and tools to better cope with climate change impacts and other stresses to south Florida’s coral reefs. The program started in 2004 after creation of a Memorandum of Agreement to facilitate sharing knowledge and best practices for resilience-based management among the State of Florida, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. The program is designed to improve understanding of reef health in the region and to identify factors that influence the long-term resilience of corals, reefs and the entire marine ecosystem. With this knowledge in hand, coral reef managers and users can work toward resilience-based management strategies that maximize the benefits of healthy reefs while seeking to improve the condition of those that are less healthy. Ultimately the FRRP seeks to improve ecological conditions of Florida’s reefs, economic sustainability of reef-dependent commercial enterprises and continued recreational use of reef resources. For additional information please check out the Florida Keys Case Study. Back to top » Spotlight on Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Case Study Lyndon DeVantier, Kirino Olpet, Eugene Joseph, Emre Turak pick sites at And Atoll during the Pohnpei REA. Photo: Louise Goggin An excerpt from the case study: Currently the FSM core team is incorporating the principles of resilience into guidance for state partners as they develop state protected areas networks and work toward achieving the goals of the Micronesia Challenge (MC), an ambitious initiative by the jurisdictions of Micronesia to effectively conserve at least 30% of their nearshore marine resources and 20% of their terrestrial resources by 2020. With the help of the core team, the states are also working toward a standardized monitoring program to measure some key regional indicators to assess broad trends in the country and track progress toward achieving the goals of the MC. Also as part of the MC, a communications campaign is being developed by a communications working group that will incorporate the principles of resilience (currently in draft form, but can be shared when finalized).

Data Center Outsourcing Market 2009-2013 A Data Center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components (such as network equipment and storage systems). Also called a server farm, it includes supporting equipment, such as backup power supplies, data communication connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression), rack infrastructure for collocation, and security devices. Data Center Outsourcing refers to the outsourcing of Data Center services to enable an organization reduce the amount of internal resources required to manage Data Center operation.
The demand for Data Centers has grown exponentially in the recent years due to the increase in demand of data to be stored by the organizations. However, building and managing a new Data Center is a highly complex task, and requires huge capital expenditure. Further, technological innovation leads to fast obsolescence of many hardware and software products. These factors are compelling organizations to outsource all, or part of their Data Center activities to vendors. Reduction in the operational cost, availing Cloud computing service, and access to latest technology outside expertise are some of the major drivers for the growth of the Data Center Outsourcing market.
Unlike in the past, organizations are now engaging multiple vendors for their Data Center Outsourcing related activities. This provides more bargaining power to the organizations, and reduces their dependability on a single vendor. Further, in certain geographic regions, most of the Data Center Outsourcing related contracts are being signed with domestic vendors. For example, in North America, most of the Data Center Outsourcing related activities are being performed by the American companies. Though many of these activities are being performed at offshore locations like India, organizations are preferring to deal with domestic outsourcing partners.
At present, well-established Data Center Outsourcing vendors have built a highly experienced talent pool with high level of expertise in managing Data Centers. However, for the non-IT organizations, it is highly difficult to develop the same kind of expertise in managing Data Center operations. This is compelling many organization to focus on their core competency and outsource their Data Center related operations to specialized third-party vendors.
This report by TechNavio Insights highlights the current and future market potential of the Data Centre Outsourcing market. Further it d

The RFU's Core Values Task Group
The RFU Management Board established the Core Values Task Group in 2007 to evaluate what the game stood for and what it should represent in the future.
The group, chaired by RFU Past President Bob Rogers, was set up in response to a perception that standards of behaviour were changing as more people became involved in rugby.
Examples included parents shouting and acting aggressively towards referees and opponents; the hostile behaviour of some spectators at elite matches; and players adopting a less respectful attitude towards match officials.
The group’s terms of reference were to determine the behaviours and define the core values that shape the ethos and culture of the game; to determine the factors and behaviours that undermine those core values; to determine strategies that will promote and monitor the defined core values and how they should be presented; and to review existing codes of conduct for all participants and see how they could be extended to the whole game.
Consulting all parts of the game
The task group undertook a major consultation exercise, examining oral and written evidence as well as existing research. A broad range of people – including elite and amateur players, spectators and the media – were engaged in 13 focus groups and 2,722 took part in an online survey.
As a result, the core values were defined as teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship and the group commented in their interim report: “The game has, through its values, a uniting force. It helps to build characters. The social aspects of the game must not be understated and these have great benefits for local communities and society in general. The game is a way of life.”
The group also concluded: “There is little doubt that maintenance and promotion of the core values will increase the attractiveness of the sport to new participants. Positive strategies will need to be developed to promote these unique values.”
Rogers said: “We have a healthy, enjoyable and inclusive sport and wanted to have a simple reminder of that for all participants. It’s good news.
“The vast majority of people we've spoken to are totally supportive of those values and very pleased that we've defined them.
“It was important that we produced a positive statement of our core values. We believe we’ve done that and I'm sure people will want to live up to them.”

Charlestown Town Council grants continuance to Copar
CATHERINE M. HEWITT Quarry protest3.jpg [1] Residents protest Copar's presence in Bradford this past winter.
CHARLESTOWN — Despite protests from town residents, the Charlestown Town Council decided to continue the Copar Quarries and Westerly Granite Company (WGC) hearing until the council’s September meeting. On Tuesday’s night’s council agenda was the discussion and potential action of a resolution that would ask the Rhode Island Attorney General to look into whether WGC is in compliance with state laws. In anticipation of the WGC hearing, about 25 town residents, who live near Copar Quarries, attended the meeting in order to report on their experiences of the quarry’s alleged violations, including excessive noise from explosions and stone-crushing, dissipation of silicon dust, pollution of potable water supplies, damage to residential structures, as well as illegally obtained permits among other issues. Before explaining that the hearing was to be continued, Town Council President Thomas B. Gentz read aloud a letter from Copar’s legal counsel stating that WGC had only received notice of the hearing the day before the hearing’s scheduled date.
“It is clear that the late notice provided on the eve of the holiday weekend is little more than a thinly veiled attempt on the part of the town to deprive WGC of certain basic due processes including, without limitation, prior advance notice of the so-called August 13 hearing date,” Gentz read. “One can only draw one inescapable conclusion: namely that the town has departed from accepted procedure, breached protocol, and denied WGC basic due process as regards the alleged issues. Simply the intent of the town is to deprive WGC the opportunity to prepare for and address any purported issues in a meaningful and effective fashion."
The town council’s agenda, which included the WGC hearing, was filed on Aug. 8, with the Rhode Island Secretary of State, according to www.sos.ri.gov/openmeeting [2]. WGC’s legal counsel stated that it had received the notice, dated Aug. 9, on Aug.12. The letter went on to state that the WGC’s legal counsel was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict on Aug. 13, and to request a continuance of the hearing to the council’s September meeting.

The apple orchard within Lot 3 was predominantly planted in the 1960s with a programme of re-planting half of the orchard over the past 20 years. The farm is interspersed with pockets of amenity woodland, well placed to maximise its sporting potential.The majority of the land is accessed from public roads or well maintained internal tracks. The land has been under drained where necessary and the arable fields are of a commercial size suited to modern farming techniques.The soils are classified as grade 3 on the Land Classification Soil Series of England and Wales being a mix of fine and in places slightly coarser loamy clayey soils. The farm has been sympathetically farmed by the current owners with a 3 year arable rotation of predominantly cereals, with occasional winter beans. The pasture land was originally grazed by 1,500 ewes. This number has been reduced in recent years, there now is a small flock of 150 head of ewes grazed the land, reduced in the autumn of 2011 from 250.SPORTING AND WOODLANDThe sporting rights have been let on an annual basis and the shoot has been run as a small syndicate, utilising the woodland along with a number of game covers. The syndicate currently holds a small number of days a year with an average bag of 70 birds, over the farm and adjoining let woodland.AccommodationINTRODUCTIONThe sale of Court Lodge Farm presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a productive and attractive commercial farming unit in a location where such opportunities are rarely available on the open market.This mixed arable and livestock unit has been sympathetically farmed in-hand by the current owners since it was purchased in 1973.SITUATIONOverlooking the Rother Valley and Bodiam Castle to the north, the farm sits in an elevated position surrounding the sought after village of Ewhurst Green enjoying superb views over classic Wealden countryside.

Eight years for Victoire Ingabire | Radio Netherlands Worldwide 101_6_SIG
Map Kigali, Rwanda Kigali, Rwanda Eight years for Victoire Ingabire
Published on : 30 October 2012 - 3:50pm | By ((C)AFP) More about: Hutu
Rwandan genocide
Victoire Ingabire
Rwandan opposition politician Victoire Ingabire has been sentenced to eight years in prison by the Rwandan High Court, according to local journalists in Kigali. This is seen as a relatively mild sentence as the prosecutor was demanding life imprisonment. Ingabire's British lawyer Iain Edwards said she will lodge an appeal.
By Sophie van Leeuwen and Saskia Houttuin
Ingabire, the president of UDF-Inkingi, has been found guilty of treason and genocide denial. She was convicted of financing a terrorist group, the FDLR rebels in eastern DRC, but cleared on several other charges.
What her daughter has to say
The verdict has clearly been influenced by the international pressure on the Rwandan government, says Ingabire’s daughter Raissa.
“Without that, my mother’s situation would be worse, much worse,” she says. Raissa, who lives and goes to school in the Netherlands, is not happy with the eight-year sentence and continues to insist her mother is innocent. In Rwanda, the vice-president of UDF-Inkingi, Boniface Twagirimana, is not satisfied either. Ingabire deserves to be a free woman, he says. “Just like all political opponents in this country who have been accused of similar crimes,” he notes.
President of Rwanda
After spending years in exile in the Netherlands, Ingabire, who is part of the Hutu community, returned to Rwanda with the intention of running in the 2010 presidential elections. When she arrived in Kigali, as chairman of the Unified Democratic Forces (UDF), she called for the prosecution of those responsible for crimes against Hutus. Shortly after making her statement, she was placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, incumbent President Paul Kagame, a Tutsi and leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was re-elected.
Ingabire was arrested in her Kigali home on 14 October 2010 for allegedly collaborating with a terrorist organization, dividing the people of Rwanda and denying the 1994 genocide, during which an estimated 800,000 mostly ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed over a roughly 100-day period.
Fair trial?
Detained in a prison in the Rwandan capital, Ingabire had boycotted her trial since April of this year. The opposition leader and her supporters accuse Kagame of trying to eliminate all political opponents.
Human rights activists and foreign politicians have expressed doubts as to whether Ingabire was given a fair trial. Rwandan minister of Justice Tharcisse Karugarama told RNW: "It’s after the trial that we should be able to say whether it was fair or transparent."
Dutch MPs have also repeatedly raised questions about the rule of law in Rwanda. Dutch authorities have assisted the Rwandan government several times by authorizing searches of her home near Rotterdam and dispatching documents to be used in evidence at the trial in Kigali. Rwanda and the Netherlands have a judicial assistance agreement. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in documents published in 2011, wrote that it had no reason to doubt that Ingabire was being given a fair trial. "There is no clear and solid ground to reject Rwanda's request for assistance in the trial of Victoire Ingabire," wrote the Ministry.

-A A +A By Cindy Simpson Friday, November 16, 2007 at 1:00 am Racial slurs painted on the walkways outside the main entrance to Oliver Springs High School are being investigated by local authorities and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The anti-Hispanic comments were aimed at a school administrator. “It was several different racial slurs,” Oliver Springs High School resource officer Steve Sanders said.
About eight different places were defaced by blue painted words, in some cases including the last name of the administrator.
One included a reference to the California penal code for murder.

Starlet (2012)
In another time and another place, "Starlet" could have inspired a short story by Chekhov or O. Henry — a story about two women, one 22, the other 85, who are linked by one of those accidental plot twists explaining why they come together. Indeed, for almost an hour, the story is all the movie is about: That, and performances so effective they're enough all by themselves, even while we know next to nothing about the characters.
Jane (Dree Hemingway) is a leggy blonde, the type who causes people to observe, "she'd be a real beauty, if only she did something with herself." She dresses carelessly, does little with her hair and makeup, lives with two roommates in an apartment building in the San Fernando Valley that you could hardly describe if you had to. She sleeps late, has the first of two or three cigarettes for the day, and takes her pet Chihuahua tooling around in search of yard sales. She wanders into a front yard so densely planted that she almost doesn't see the old lady hidden in the shadows. This is Sadie (Besedka Johnson), plainspoken, no-nonsense, with not a shred of "sweet little old lady" about her. "Does this hold dead people?" she asks, holding up a possible purchase. "No!" says Sadie crossly. "That's a vase! It's a dollar." Jane buys it. "No refunds!" Sadie tells her.
Jane takes it home, cleans it and is surprised to find that the vase is stuffed with rolls of $100 bills, tightly wrapped in rubber bands. She spends some of the money on a fake-diamond dog halter. Her dog is a male, but the halter says "Starlet," so that becomes the dog's name. The dog doesn't care. Jane thinks to do the right thing. She returns to Sadie's house, knocks on the door, and can't begin speaking before the old lady snarls, "No refunds!" Jane has a conscience. She trails Sadie in a taxi, pays the taxi to leave, and is waiting for Sadie when she comes out looking for it. She says she'll give her a ride home. Sadie is immediately suspicious. She's even more standoffish when Jane turns up at her table at her church's weekly bingo game. Sadie doesn't warm easily. She's not looking for a new friend.
This may be a spoiler, although the movie's promotion doesn't do enough to conceal it: Jane works for a production company that makes pornos in the Valley. It's a numbing occupation, but Jane hardly seems touched by it. Sex in general seems to mean little in her life, and apart from one mechanical scene, the movie doesn't make much of it. Sadie, in fact, is the most interesting thing that's happened to Jane in a while. She presses herself on the old lady, drives her places, asks her questions. I learn from Variety that Besedka Johnson, playing Sadie, is a first-time actress who was discovered by the filmmakers at the West Hollywood YMCA. Dree Hemingway is the daughter of Mariel Hemingway, who also played a sexually daring role early in her career, as a Playboy Playmate of the Year in "Star 80" (1983). These two women, so very different, are the film's heart and soul, inviting us to decide for ourselves what's beneath their seemingly obvious facades.
The portrait of the porn industry here suggests a strictly-for-business existence, matter-of-fact, run out of offices filled with computers and file cabinets. Everybody seems to work by routine. Even Jane's roommates, also in porn, are more interested in playing video games. Nor does director Sean Baker seem to make any effort to exploit any particular abilities or cute tricks by the ever-present Chihuahua. This is a low-energy dog who often seems on the lookout for a nap.
All leads up to Jane discovering a way she may be able to spend Sadie's money (which she didn't know was in the vase) on her. This involves Jane's discovery of a fact about Sadie's past that, when it finally is revealed, is a little underwhelming. But the film itself deserves praise for its portraits of these two women and the different worlds they inhabit. And if they instructed Besedka Johnson to make no effort to make Sadie sympathetic, it certainly worked.
Note: "Starlet," distributed by Chicago-based Music Box Films, is nominated for seven Independent Spirit Awards.

Crimson Tide Headed to Atlanta
Alabama and Florida will play for the SEC Championship on Saturday
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama football team wrapped up its on-campus preparation for the 2009 SEC Championship Game with a 90-minute practice in shells Thursday afternoon inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility.
“This is a great opportunity for our team to play in the SEC Championship Game, especially for the second year in a row,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said earlier this week. “This is a great competitive venue and one of the best competitive venues that I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in. I’m sure our players feel the same way about that. I think if you’re a great competitor you love to play in these types of games.”
No. 2 Alabama (12-0, 8-0 SEC) will meet No. 1 Florida (12-0, 8-0) in the SEC Championship game for the seventh time in history and second year in a row.
“They have a lot of great players and had an undefeated season and have a very good team. It’s certainly a challenge for our guys and everybody should be really motivated. There’s a lot of motive as to why you would want to play in a game like this. The action part of it is stepping up and executing and doing the things you need to do to play your best football.”
The 2009 SEC Championship Game will kick off at 3 p.m. (CT) on Saturday and will be nationally televised by CBS Sports. Verne Lundquist, Gary Danielson and Tracy Wolfson will call the action from Atlanta. Eli Gold, Phil Savage and Barry Krauss will call the action for the Crimson Tide Sports Network. The game can be heard locally in Tuscaloosa on WFNN-FM (95.3).
ALEXANDER TO ATTEND SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: Former Alabama All-American and 1999 SEC Player of the Year Shaun Alexander will be a part of the SEC Championship Game festivities this weekend in Atlanta. Alexander, along with former Florida quarterback and 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel, will be available at the Sports Illustrated Heisman Tour Presented by Nissan.
Alexander will participate in the “SI Chalk Talk” session and be available for autographs from 12 until 1:30 p.m. (ET) on Saturday, Dec. 5, while Wuerffel will be available from 1:30-3 p.m. (ET) at the SEC FanFest held at the Georgia World Congress Center.
In addition to meeting the former Alabama and Florida stars, fans will be able to have their picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the Heisman Trophy as well as participate in interactive games. #ROLLTIDE Football Home

Course attracts students from around the world to Ambleside
Posted: 22/10/2011 13:57:00 by Nigel Nixon STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria’s first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany’s University of Marburg and Norway’s School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: “Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees.”
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:“I couldn’t find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten.”
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.

Windermere Air Festival 2011
Posted: 19/07/2011 11:06:21 by Nigel Nixon ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone’s favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.
Appearing at the air festival is a welcome return for Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall.
Graeme, who is Red 10, is the team’s commentator and on the ground safety supervisor.
He was educated at nearby St Bee’s School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: “We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It’s a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can’t wait to meet the crowd when I’m on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays.”
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It’s such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.
The Windermere Air Festival 2011 takes place on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. The Air Base is located on the Glebe in Bowness-on-Windermere. For further information, click on the website below.

Sellafield and Heysham named on new nuclear plants list
Posted: 26/06/2011 13:02:46 by Nigel Nixon Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.

Garburn Pass
Posted: 04/06/2011 10:16:05 by Nigel Nixon A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a ‘restricted byway’ follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
“The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road,” said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
“We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor.”

BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT Posted: 03/06/2011 10:10:31 by Nigel Nixon ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain’s Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
“It was said: ‘How am I going to follow that?’ Because the element of surprise has gone,” he said.
“So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it.”
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three ‘yes’ votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
“It was the second best experience of my life, but I can’t tell you the first one,” he jokes.
“Since then, it has been so busy I haven’t had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals.”
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday’s live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
“I am nervous and confident about tonight,” he said.
“Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he’s been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I’m looking forward to it.”

twigs and mud
L I N U S IntroductionLINUS is a project I've been working on for quite a long time. It's a story-driven game focused primarily on drama. My main goal with LINUS is to tell a memorable story. This is mainly because writing and world-building are my favorite aspects of creating games. While the game will feature battles and puzzles, they will be a bit light in number. Thus, I would think that people who prefer more gameplay in their games won't enjoy it as much as people who like to experience a well-told story. World OverviewSpoiler: The world the story takes place in is both similar to ours yet very different. The most prominent feature of this world, and perhaps the most mysterious to all of the world's cultures, is the presence of a massive storm which has eternally permeated the western skies for as long as humanity has existed. The storm, known by many names, is an ominous dark mass which has befuddled the human population of the planet for eons. Not one person has ever navigated through it as those foolish enough to attempt it have all lost their lives in the process. The Storm is looked upon with different perspectives by different cultures. Some believe it to be the place where the dead congregate, while others even go as far as worshiping it as a kind of living deity. Whatever the people believe, no one can fathom what lies beyond the western skies. The people of the world are a mish-mash of different real-life civilizations and cultures. The range of the world's countries is pretty extensive, with civilizations ranging from ancient Spain to modern-day Africa being used as "inspirational sources". Even though the world is very large, the player won't visit each and every one of these countries (you will hear about and meet characters who hail from these places however). The reason being that the story of LINUS does not involve in any way the saving of the planet, so visiting these places without a good reason is kind of unrealistic. Instead, the story is centered around the most ancient civilization in the known world: The Empire of Terragama.Story OverviewSpoiler: The storyline of LINUS centers around the most ancient and wartorn empire of Terragama. The game's story in itself is basically the history of this empire as it intwines around the destiny of one person. That person is the main character, a man by the name of Linus Milhaven. Linus Milhaven is a man who's life is tied to a cruel and violent legend. The people of Terragama curse his name for the actions he commited during the latter years of his life. His story is one that every soul in Terragama claims to know all too well. It's conclusion brought about the catalyst that has resulted in the dark age the people of the empire currently find themselves in. Still, despite the terrible crimes which he has commited, not everyone in the empire curses at Linus' memory... His mother, now an old woman, remembers the bright, loving, and intelligent boy she once called her son. Now in her fading years, Emily Milhaven has set out on a journey to write her son's final remembrance: A biography that will showcase Linus' journey from a bright and promising adolescence to a dark and murderous future.Terragama Overview Spoiler: The Empire of Terragama is an ancient, spiritual civilization not unlike the old empires of our own ancient world. It is the oldest empire in humankind, said to be founded man thousands of years ago. It is located on the westernmost continent of the known world. This continent is the largest landmass, and is the closest to the mythical storm which darkens the skies over the western sea. Because of their close presence to the storm, the people of this land have worshiped it since the founding of their empire. Terragama is divided into nine vastly different kingdoms, while an emperor/empress typically rules over all. The nine kingdoms each have different laws and customs, but all swear fealty and obey the kingdom of Lorimaris, which is the historical home of the empress/emperor. For many of the Empire's kingdoms, a strict class system dominates daily life. At the bottom of this social pyramid are slaves brought in from underdeveloped countries to serve as labor for the typical Terragaman family. Slightly above the slaves are the people known as Wards, a modern-day term used for the men and women hailing from the kingdoms which revolted against Lorimaris in a civil war that took place 15 years ago. Wards have very few rights, are not allowed to own land, and are treated with a general scorn for their part in rebelling against Lorimaris during the civil war. Above the lower echelons of the class pyramid are the regular folks. Farmers, artisans, vendors, soldiers, and the like are grouped into this tier. They make up most of the Terragaman population. High above every other class are the Great Houses-- ancient, powerful families who hold considerable influence over every facet of Terragaman society. The Great Houses are all at least a thousand years old, and are considered the nobility of the empire. Terragama is a culture which values tradition and the "old ways" above all else, thus those who are descended from "ancient blood" are held in high esteem. Politics, the economy, and most areas of government are dominated by the Great Houses. They serve as the leaders of the Terragaman people. As powerful as the Great Houses are, none compare to the two most powerful and ancient families of Terragama. The first being House Lunet, also known as the "The First Family". They are the sovereign dynasty who have ruled the mighty kingdom of Lorimaris and therefore the entire Empire for thousands of years. The second such family is House Milhaven, a dynasty of warriors as old as House Lunet itself. The members of the Milhaven family hold the most esteemed rank of commanders of Lorimaris' all-powerful army, a group of highly trained knights known as The Spire. They have served asHouse Lunet's champions ever since the founding of the empire. Here you will see the major regions of the continent-- the Belen Valley, Aruman Desert, Nevenmire Plains (also known as the Eastern Embrace), and the northernmost subcontinent of Aternelle (which is the home of Samuel and his men). Also of note are the eight Great Houses as well as the kingdoms they rule over. Last but not least, is the impenetrable Storm, which dominates the western sea. CastSpoiler: Linus MilhavenAge: Starts the story at age 9.Birthdate: 3rd of Mistfall, 1900Birthplace: Belen, Lorimaris The first born son to Teign and Emily Milhaven. A sullen yet likeable child who spent most of his childhood in the reknowned Etonmarch Military School. He is a caring and highly intelligent boy who has trouble coming to grips with the future that the empire has planned for him. From an early age, he has been groomed to follow in his father's footsteps as the strong and capable leader of the Spire, Lorimaris' powerful military. His purpose, as it was ingrained into him, is to serve the sovereige Lunet family as their champion and protector. Linus however, dreams of a life filled with less responsibility. What he wants most in this world, is the freedom to live the type of live he envisions for himself.Teign MilhavenAge: 41 Birthdate: 13th of Moonrise, 1868Birthplace: Belen, Lorimaris The legendary knight who brought peace to the warring empire during the Reunion War. He is the father of the three current-generation Milhaven brothers: Leigh, Linus, and Ariston. He was born in Lorimaris, during the apex of the century-long civil war which had seen the once peaceful empire torn asunder by malevolent kings and their power struggles. Lorimaris, the former ruling kingdom of Terragama, had been reduced to the level of it's peer kingdoms due to the poor kingship of it's sovereign, Tiberius Lunet. King Tiberius, who was a weak-willed and some would say cowardly individual in comparison to his ancestors, forbid Lorimaris' intervention during the war. No matter how many deaths arose from the war between the eight kingdoms, Tiberius would not relent in his isolationist ideals. However, it was the king's children who inherited the traditional House Lunet cunning, and plotted to overtake the empire and restore it to the prosperity it enjoyed when it was under their family's rule. All it took was time, as the twin sisters Athelia and Amadea were the inheritors of the Lorimaran throne. Teign, a member of House Milhaven (House Lunet's traditional champions), grew up with the royal Lunet children, and became quiet close to the twin sisters. Athelia, a little girl who by the age of nine already possessed the dangerous natural gifts of her family, was smitten with the young Milhaven boy, who loved her in return. As the two of them grew to become lovers in their teenaged years, King Tiberius' health deteriorated, and the Lunet sisters became the ruling monarchs of Lorimaris. By the time the Lunet sisters waged their war against the eight kingdoms, Teign had grown into a powerful and feared knight. He took leadership of the Spire, the great army of men loyal only to House Milhaven, and waged the sisters' campaign to reclaim their family's empire. One by one, the eight kingdoms fell to his sword, and four years since the campaign began the empire finally returned to it's rightful place under House Lunet's rule. The campaign however, was not a victory for Teign. During those four years, he was subject to terrible experiences which took a heavy toll on his emotional and physical state. On more than one occassion, he was forced into murdering children who were conscripted by enemy monarchs. This caused the stirring of a dark hurt within him, as he and Athelia's son Leigh was but a child during the campaign. Thus, he voiced his displeasure with Athelia during the war's end, and was in turn called a coward and weakling by the woman he had so loved. By the time he had remarried and his second son Linus was born, Teign was a shadow of his former self. Despite only being 41 years of age, the war had aged him terribly. His skills in the ways of war have faded considerably, and though he still acts as the acting commander of the Spire, many wonder if he still has it in him to lead the empire's army.Screenshots Spoiler: Prologue Chapter IVideoSpoiler: Chapter 1 : The Lake CavernHere's a little video I put together. It's a short preview of one of the dungeons in Chapter 1. The music in the video is a first-draft of one of the songs Joerao composed for the game's soundtrack. I think it sounds pretty good, even in it's early state.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJj_tdt_EiMChapter I : Memories Another video featuring Joerao's composed music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwFeg5AKkWkChapter I : Etonmarch The first five minutes of the upcoming Chapter I demo. I know it doesn't show much, but I figured those who are interested in this project would like a bit of a sneak peek. The music for this particular video is placeholder.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpSnB9f0n1sChapter I : The Milhaven CryptsThis video shows a small bit of the gameplay in Chapter I. There are a few noticeable passability errors that will be fixed in time for the demo. Also, the music is all placeholder.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7yhFd60I70SoundtrackSpoiler: Joerao, the wonderful composer for this project, has created a topic where you can hear some songs from the still-in progress LINUS soundtrack. He is trying to make the musical accompaniment to the game as good as it can be, so any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated. Please listen and give him your thoughts about the music.http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showto...48&hl=linusDemoSpoiler: Linus Prologue Demo v2: http://www.mediafire.com/?mjytzmhyyunThis is a revamped version of the first demo. It includes new cutscenes, sprites, music, and a couple of other things.However, it doesn't finish the events of the prologue. It ends at about the same time as the last demo. I also took into account a lot of the criticisms I got from you guys.Those who've played the original demo dont necessarily have to play this one, since it's very similar to the old one except forthe changed dialogue and other additions. I would also like to point out that this isn't the "real" new demo. That one will include the completed prologue as well as the first chapter of the game.I posted this version for a couple of reasons:- I barely got any feedback outside of this community. I believe it's probably because of the game ending bugs (which are now fixedon this demo). Hopefully more people will be able to play through the entire thing.- I wont be able to work on Linus for a month (I'm moving back home), so I figure I at least post an updated version of the original demofor the people who are interested in this project. I'll resume working on the game once I move and have everything up in order. Anyway, thanks for taking interest in the project!Support Support Linus by placing this code in your signature! CODE[url="http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=13932"][img]http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd338/grayperiod/userbar.png[/img][/url] Features- Sideviewbattle system. - Custom soundtrack composed by Joerao.- A realistic, dramatic storyline with a large cast of nuanced characters. - Lengthy and involved optional sidequests which enhance the storyline of the main plot.- Split into three volumes- Each lasting 10 hours in length for a total of 30 hours of gameplay.-----

I've read the story, and it seems quite interesting! The concept of this storm is very unique. Looking through your screenshots, they look really good! I see that you've mashed in quite a bit of RMXP and custom tiles in this game. I can't say I'm a fan of that font or style of faces though. They differ in style which can be a bit disturbing.I'll definitely be looking forward to the demo when it comes around --------------------

Besides the mix in face styles, this sounds and looks quite intriguing. Always nice to know that not everyone has the same basic story overview on their projects. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

I do love the way it looks. I hope the fogs aren't present throughout the whole game. I also have a question. You said you have worked on the project for 3 months and you have/going to have 30-35 hours of gameplay? 3 months seems like a short time to make a game of that length. Do you have a target date to release the demo? Is it demo or the full game that's going to be 30-35 hours?

As for your inquiries.- No, the fogs wont be used for every single map. They'll only be used if they're required or if the scene calls for a bit of ambience. I do like the way they look though. Do you think they're distracting or anything like that? - I have an hour at most completed so far for the demo. The full game will be 30-35 hours. I basically have most of the game planned out already.It might be less depending on unforeseen problems. But that's how long I think the game will be given what I have mapped out.- The demo itself should be finished early next month if i keep up the pace Im currently working at. Lastly, thanks for taking interest!

Lastly, thanks for taking interest! Fogs are little distracting to me, but that all personal preference. As long as you game doesn't depend on the inclusions of fogs in every map, you should be good. So far, all of the pics with fogs in them look very nice. A nice combination with the light script as well. [rant]It just irks me when games have things like a fog in every possible place, whether it be a cave or a desert. I get it! You want to build ambiance! Try something different! [/rant]I am excited for your game though. Hopefully you can release it within your deadline. I know how hard it is to release a game on deadline. I've had to push my own game back several times --------------------

I await your demo eagerly. I really like the sound of this game. And your mapping, from what I've seen, is superb.

This sounds like an interesting game Keep up the good work!(For a second though, I thought that the game was about Linux Torvalds)
UPDATE: New screenshots for Chapter I added.
echorev
Wow!!!!! The screenshots look incredible!! It all looks incredibly realistic and very well proportioned. Where did you get all of those sprites and artwork?Looking forward to trying this out! Keep it up!

I personally am incredibly intrigued by this game and all it's aspects. I don't know why, but the idea of the Storm just fascinates me; it's role in the game is a mystery. The mapping is excellent, and I love the characters. Keep up the great work on this!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I know there are quite a few mapping errors in the screenshots. I'll try to fix them up in time for the demo.

The idea of the "Storm" and the role it plays in your story intrigues me. I like the societal hierarchies, the characters and their motives, and the attention to detail in the world-setting you've done, as well. Your screenshots show a very well constructed game. This looks like a first-rate effort and I'll be looking forward to the demo. --------------------

Finally! Demo is here! The original demo was supposed to be a lot longer. But I've been incredibly busy lately so i havent been able to finish it.Anyway, I just wanted to put up something playable for the people who are interested in this project. *Any* feedback at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Drunken Paladin
Killed a Man in Reno
This is one of the few demos here I have been able to thoroughly enjoy. I'm particularly impressed by the music and the lighting effects used in the cutscenes. More than anything, however, I'm impressed by the allusions to multiple theorists and theosophists. Jean Luc Russeau-- is that a nod to Jean-Jacques Rousseau? I also saw Lacan and Cagliostro. I like to think that these aren't coincidences. =PThere are several errors, however, that allow me to walk over objects that should not be passable. The chest-looking objects, as well as the shield on the table. Also, at the pub when the bartender leaves, there is an error that closes the game on account of a missing graphic file.I look forward to seeing the game progress, and wish you all the best.
www.drunkenpaladin.comHow To Work Around Complex Writing Problems [A Brief Guide--New Addition!]
^Actually, yes. Most of the characters were named after people or locations in real life. Lacan and Russeau were named in tribute to their real life counterparts, but I'm afraid I have no idea who Cagliostro is (I took that one from the Ghibli film.) Most of the "good guys" were named after certain people/towns in Britain. For example, Teign is named after a river and it's pretty obvious what Etonmarch is an allusion to. Anyway, thanks for playing the demo. Did you happen to play through that little error by the way? I'll upload a fixed demo with that and all of the passability errorsfixed.

Business | National / World Business Casella names Johnson president; reports loss
By Bruce EdwardsSTAFF WRITER | December 05,2012
Casella Waste Systems has promoted chief financial officer Ed Johnson to the post of president and chief operating officer, replacing Paul Larkin, who left the company last month.Casella also made two other announcements: a second quarter loss of $21 million and the completion of the sale of its Maine waste-to-energy plant.“Ed Johnson brings the background and experience to the challenge of running a nimble, customer-focused business whose mission is growing cash flow and profitability,” company chairman and CEO John Casella said in a statement. “The board and I have immense faith in his ability to run the day-to-day operations of this company and succeed.”Before joining Casella as chief financial officer in 2010, Johnson was CFO at Waste Services Inc., where he helped lead the operational and financial turnaround of that company. Ned Coletta, vice president of finance and investor relations at Casella, was named the company’s new senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer.Asked about the reason for Larkin’s departure as president after several years, Casella spokesman Joe Fusco would only say that “it was time for a change.”The company’s fiscal second quarter financial results released Monday reflect a continued sluggish economy. “The northeastern U.S. economy remained a difficult environment through our second quarter,” Casella said. “Recycling commodity prices, landfill volumes at our western New York landfills, and our roll-off collection line-of-business all underperformed our expectations in the quarter and, as such, we have lowered our guidance for the current fiscal year.” Fusco added that the waste disposal business is a reflection of the overall economy.“In a simple illustration, if people are buying fewer televisions and they’re producing fewer cardboard boxes that we recycle, and if people are eating out less, then they’re producing less food waste for example,” he saidFor the quarter ended Oct. 31, the company lost $21 million, or 68 cents a share, compared to a net loss of $800,000, or 3 cents a share, for the same quarter last year. Revenue was $120.3 million, down $9.6 million, or 7.3 percent from the same quarter last year.The loss included one-time charges of $1.8 million in severance and reorganization expenses, a $100,000 charge related to the sale of the Maine Energy Recovery Company facility, a $3.9 million loss on derivative instruments, and a $9.7 million loss on debt related to the repurchase of the company’s second lien notes in October. The company also announced that it completed the sale of the Maine Energy Recovery facility in Biddeford. The city of Biddeford will pay Casella $6.65 million over 21 years and enter into a 10-year waste handling agreement, as well as a 10-year recycling collection agreement. At closing, the company conveyed to Biddeford the land and cellular leases related to antennae on the stack. The agreement allows for a post-sale transition period, during which the company has the option to operate the facility for up to six months. Casella has 12 months to dismantle all facilities on the property except for the stack that houses the cellular equipment. The company plans to cease operations at the plant by the end of its fiscal 2013 third quarter and then begin to dismantle the facility. A new transfer station in Westbrook, Maine, will handle the majority of the waste currently disposed of at the Biddeford waste-to-energy plant. Waste will then be transferred to other company landfills.The sale of the waste-to-energy plant is expected to improve the company’s operating income by $7.9 million and cash flow by approximately $5.6 million a year. Despite the disappointing second quarter results, Casella said the company’s strategy is on the right track. “Recycling commodity prices hit bottom in September and began to rebound modestly in October and November as Chinese and domestic demand re-emerged,” Casella said. “We have taken what we believe is a conservative view on recycling commodity prices for the remainder of our fiscal year with pricing expected to remain consistent with current levels.”He added that maximizing landfill capacity in western New York “remains a challenge given the depressed volumes of C&D (construction and demolition), special waste and residual streams from Marcellus Shale drilling activity.” Casella employs 1,800 workers throughout the Northeast, with 500 in Vermont, including 133 in Rutland, the company’s headquarters.To deal with the slowdown in business, the company laid off a few dozen workers in August. But Fusco said no further cutbacks are contemplated.“We’ve done everything we’ve needed to do to align our business and our functions in the way we operate to succeed,” Fusco said. “What we’re waiting (for) now, we’ve hoisted our sails and we’re waiting for a breeze.”

All dolled up: Local artists spent months perfecting creations

Robin Wyatt holds one of her dolls that is on display at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum. Wyatt and fellow doll artists go through painstaking steps to showcase their handiwork and its meticulous details.
At the end of the day, Kristine Fisher escapes into another world where she makes tiny petticoats, corsets, bustles and dresses.
“I call them my late night with Dave projects because I sit and watch David Letterman,” said the Charlotte resident. “I have a business, I sew out of my house making costumes and formal wear and doing alternations.
Fancy handmade jewerly and hand painted eyelashes are part of the detail work. Robin Wyatt holds one of her dolls that is on display at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum.

“After I shut the machines off, I sit down and do stuff by hand. It’s very cathartic.”
The clothing she fashions will be worn by dolls she crafts by hand, an art form she took up some 20 years ago.
After making doll clothing for a family friend, Fisher decided she’d like to try her hand at actually creating a doll from start to finish.
“I’ve always done a lot of drawing. This was sort of taking that into 3D,” she said. “It incorporated everything I already did from the sewing to drawing, so it was easy for me.”
As a child, Robin Wyatt watched her mother make dolls, but she didn’t have much to do with the process.
“I was a tomboy growing up,” she said. “I had some of the first Barbie dolls, but I didn’t become a doll lover until I got older.”
Wyatt, who lives in Concord, started making dolls more than 25 years ago when she moved back home after college.
“I had always watched my mother and I guess being exposed to it so young made me develop my passion as I got older,” she said.
As Wyatt began a career in information technology, she took up making dolls at night after work.
“I needed a creative outlet,” she said. “I consider myself a hobbyist dollmaker; I’ve never sold one.”
Fisher and Wyatt currently have several dolls on display at the Spencer Doll and Toy Museum.
Making dolls
Both women starting making modern dolls and later switched to replicating antique dolls, a form of dollmaking that requires an eye for detail.
“It’s kind of hard to transition from modern to antique because it’s more precise and it’s more controlled,” Fisher said.
Wyatt said there’s little room for creative liberties when making antiques.
“It’s all about how well you can copy the original,” she said. “For people who try it and don’t love it, it’s not easy.”
Wyatt said the only dolls she’s made in the past 12 years have been antique porcelain dolls.
“I’ve got a passion and a love for them,” she said. I’ve gotten into making French and German dolls, which has helped me to understand and love that history.”
Wyatt has also learned how to restore and preserve dolls.
“I’ve taken a whole series of classes,” she said. “I want to make sure these dolls are around for another 100 years.”
But restoring dolls can be much more time consuming than making new ones, Wyatt said.
“It takes at least five times as long,” she said. “It’s hard to find somebody to do it because it takes so much time, but it’s really important.”
Fisher said she enjoys making miniature dolls.
Both women create the dolls from scratch using a kiln.
“You start with just a jug of mud and a mold,” Wyatt said.
They paint the faces on to each doll, making sure the eyelashes are symmetrical and the lips are just right.
Sometimes they opt to buy a wig instead of going through the tedious process of making one using mohair.
The women each spend at least six months making just one doll.
After finishing one doll, they start thinking about their next project.
“I just go by what inspires me at the moment,” Fisher said. “It really depends on how complicated I want it to be.”
Wyatt said she looks at magazines for inspiration.
“It helps bring out your preferences and your taste,” she said. “If I don’t like it initially, I don’t even consider trying to make it.”
Fisher, who makes her own patterns for clothing, said the majority of her doll clothes are handsewn because of their size and the intricacies involved.
“My mom used to show me how to make clothes,” she said. “As a child, I was always dressing and undressing my dolls. I love the clothing.”
Wyatt said she can sew clothes, but she doesn’t enjoy it.
“I do it out of necessity because I’m pretty picky sometimes,” she said. “But that’s not where my likes are.”
But Wyatt said she is an “undergarment fanatic.”
“I don’t mind making underwear as much as I do the clothing,” she said. “And I love to make accessories like purses, hats and shoes.”
The women said the clothing has to match the kind of doll being made.
“You can spend weeks trying to research the correct clothing for that time period,” Wyatt said.
Competition circuit
Fisher and Wyatt each spent about five years competing in doll shows.
“There are different kinds of competitions across the United States,” Wyatt said.
Between the women, they’ve traveled to California, New York, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
They spent such a short amount of time on the competition circuit because of the cost.
These days making dolls is simply a fun hobby.
Their dolls are displayed at various museums and in their homes.
“Not all of my dolls are on display all the time because I don’t want to overflow my house,” Wyatt said. “I travel for programs and cycle them out.”
Fisher said her husband keeps wondering where they’ll fit another doll.
“I’ve always loved dolls,” she said. “I’ve got some from when I was 5 years old. He swears they are multiplying on their own.”

Price Pharmacy expands into old F&M Bank building in Granite Quarry

GRANITE QUARRY — A surprising pop of color — red, gray and black — in the middle of otherwise brown downtown Granite Quarry marks something more than the town’s first standalone drugstore in about 30 years.
Price Pharmacy, which opened April 1 in the former F&M Bank building at 110 E. Bank St., also marks the start of an effort to renew the town’s business district, officials say.

“To me, this is the beginning of the revitalization of the business corridor for Granite Quarry,” Town Manager Dan Peters said.
Peters said Price Pharmacy, which has expanded to Granite Quarry from China Grove, fits perfectly with a business development plan the town adopted based on recommendations from the N.C. Downtown Development Association.
Pharmacy co-owners Jim Miles and Andy Caudill were in the process of buying the old bank just as town leaders started to implement the development recommendations.
Even the pharmacy’s bold color scheme seemed to come from the pages of the study, which calls for the town to encourage hues other than brown, the color that permeates the downtown and can make the buildings look alike.
After working for a corporate pharmacy for 14 years, Caudill said he was ready for a change.
Constantly understaffed to meet profit margins demanded by stockholders, Caudill said some days he spent more time filling out paperwork than serving customers.
“They are driven to grow sales and we are too, but not at the expense of our customers,” said Caudill, who went into business with Miles in February 2011.
Now, Caudill has time for his customers. He gets to know them and their families. Staff at the China Grove branch are so familiar with their clients, they often have the prescription at the cash register before the customer reaches the counter.
Starting in 2009
Miles co-founded Price Pharmacy in June 2009, then bought out his partner in 2011 but kept the name, which already had built a reputation and customer base.
Sales at the China Grove location grew by 42 percent in 2011 over the previous year. In 2012, sales were up 20 percent, and owners expect sales between $4 million and $5 million this year.
“We have had great success in China Grove,” Caudill said. “A lot of people think small stores can’t compete with big box stores, and we can. That’s a big misconception.”
The secrets to their success are free home delivery and pricing. While everyone using insurance pays the same price regardless of pharmacy, people paying cash can find large discrepancies between stores, Caudill said.
In 2012, nearly 25 percent of Price Pharmacy customers paid cash. Caudill and Miles can often undercut corporate competitors on the cash price for drugs.
“That’s where the big difference is,” Caudill said. “We base our price off what we pay for medicines, but we are not looking to get rich. We have to make a profit because we are a business, but we are looking to take care of our customers first.”
Granite Quarry residents soon will see the yellow Price car making free home deliveries. In fact, the pharmacy delivers for free nearly anywhere in Rowan County.
There is no minimum price for delivery, and if a customer needs an over-the-counter product, Price will deliver that too.
“May even be a bottle of Cheerwine,” Miles said.
Customers who use the service either pay cash when the delivery arrives or keep a credit card on file at the store.
Price’s hours are not as convenient as chain drugstores. Open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, the pharmacy makes up for no evening or Sunday hours by offering better customer service, Caudill said.
“Service is the goal,” he said. “I’m there for you.”
Recently, he was there for a customer at 3 a.m., when a panicked parent called Caudill’s cell phone and needed a prescription filled for a sick child.
Caudill met the customer at the China Grove location in the wee hours, something he has done repeatedly.
“We have to make a difference in the service,” he said. “We have to make you want to come back.”
Ready to grow
With the success of the China Grove location and a new owner on board, Price was primed for expansion.
Not a pharmacist, Miles eyed Granite Quarry. With no pharmacy on N.C. 52 between Rockwell and Salisbury, Miles said he saw a void that Price could fill.
He and his wife Amy, who works in the China Grove store with son Maverick, were driving through Granite Quarry when they saw the old F&M Bank building for sale.
Paul Fisher, chairman and CEO of F&M Bank, had waited 15 years for the right buyer for his father’s building.
“We were just so tickled for them to come,” Fisher said. “I thought we would never find what we were looking for.
“This has been the perfect match from the very beginning.”
Price now occupies F&M’s second location, built in the late 1950s and used until the 1980s. The original bank still stands behind the pharmacy, and Fisher and bank directors continue to meet in the small stone structure.
“We have never stopped meeting there,” Fisher said. “Because very honestly, it keeps us humble and knowing what we are about, and reminds us that we are here to serve the community.”
That same sense of community service was what sold Fisher on Price Pharmacy as, finally, the right owner for the bank building.
“I did not want to sell the building unless we could sell it to someone who would bring a business to town that we really needed,” Fisher said. “We had opportunities to sell the building for this or that, but they didn’t measure up.”
Now, just as F&M is a community bank, Price is a community pharmacy, he said. As a banker, Fisher said he’s impressed with the business model, especially free home deliveries.
Building with curb appeal
Caudill and Miles have brought life back to the building, which served for several years as a post office. Fisher acknowledged the structure lacks a certain aesthetic quality.
“I reckon it was a pretty building back then, but the ’50s buildings style went out on a permanent basis,” he said.
But with the new color scheme, repaved parking lot, bright signs and decorative scrolls that Miles sketched when he first envisioned the new pharmacy, the building has more curb appeal.
Inside, the facility is perfect for a pharmacy, Caudill said, with a drive-up window, two vaults for storing medications and plenty of storage.
Caudill and Miles, who invested $500,000 to get the pharmacy up and running, put in new carpet, ripped out two offices and installed a decorative bulkhead over the pharmacy counter. Surrounded by windows, the 4,500-square-foot building is flooded with natural light.
With little advertising, Price Pharmacy continues to grow. Six full-time employees work in China Grove, including new pharmacist Tony Clodfelter.
Three full-time employees staff the Granite Quarry location, including Caudill’s wife Sabrina.
When Caudill and Miles first met for lunch to consider going into business together, they thought they were strangers.
It didn’t take long for Caudill to recognize Miles as his seventh-grade football coach from West Rowan Middle School, back in 1983.
As Miles and Caudill prepared to open the Granite Quarry store, town officials stopped by to wish them good luck. When Mayor Mary Ponds walked in, Miles looked up and said hello to his ninth grade science teacher.
For Miles and Caudill, these “small town” stories are just more proof that they’re in the right location, running the right business, with the right people.
“We were looking for someone who would serve the community,” Fisher said. “We waited a long time, and it paid off.”

Captain’s Galley closed with plans to reopen
Posted: Friday, July 19, 2013 5:59 a.m.
Shavonne Potts/Salisbury PostCosmetic renovations are coming to the outside of Captain’s Galley, which closed this week and will reopen in a couple of weeks with a new name.
CHINA GROVE — Captain’s Galley Seafood Shack will have a slightly different look in the coming weeks. The restaurant, located at 216 S. Main St., closed this week and is expected to reopen by the end of the month.
The owner put up a sign saying it would be closing, but had not said the reason or said publicly when it would officially be open for business again. Owner John Kazakos declined to comment.
James Smith, owner of Crossroads Design & Construction, was contracted to do the renovations to the outside of Captain’s Galley.
Cosmetic renovations should be complete for the reopening in a couple of weeks.

Mayor Pro Tem Lee Withers said he made inquiries about the restaurant and was assured the closing would not be permanent.
“It’s a rebranding effort and will be open in a few weeks. We are excited as they are keeping the current wait staff and current managers,” Withers said.
He said he’s pleased China Grove will be able to keep a “great restaurant in the community.”
The restaurant and its owner have always been accommodating, Withers said, when the town has held various events and needed the parking space. The town is hosting its annual Farmers Day this weekend and will use the restaurant’s parking lot for part of the event.
“We are excited we will be able to continue that relationship,” he said.
Withers said he did not know the intended name of the restaurant but was told it would be a family style type of establishment.
James Smith, owner of Crossroads Design & Construction, was contracted to make cosmetic changes to the outside of the building. Smith said he expected to be working on the outside of the building, but at this point had no plans to re-construct the inside. He spent Thursday erecting cedar shakes on the window frames on the front of the building. He also was putting metal shingles on the front and sides of the roof of the building.
Town Planner Julian Burton said someone with the company inquired about a sign, but as of Thursday had not applied for a permit. The Rowan County Planning and Zoning Department handles much of the permitting process for China Grove.
He is also not sure what the new business will be, Burton said.
The restaurant opened in 1988 and was the chain’s third location. Before it was a restaurant, the building held an A&P grocery store. The first Captain’s Galley Seafood Restaurant opened in 1981 in Stony Point.
There are other Captain’s Galley locations in Greensboro, Concord and Bermuda Run.

SALISBURY — Do you want to see a 41,800-square-foot building go up in one minute and 37 seconds?
Check out time-lapse photography that shows construction from the ground up of the $3.2 million Integro Technologies headquarters at 301 S. Main St. City and business leaders recently toured the facility.

The video on the Salisbury Business Center’s Facebook page strings together one photograph taken every hour by a camera mounted on top of the Kress Building across the street. A shorter version is available at www.integro-tech.com/Salisbury-Business-Center.aspx .
Integro will occupy the majority of the Salisbury Business Center, the official name of the two-story building under construction at the corner of South Main and East Bank streets. The business center, which has more than 10,000 square feet of office space for lease, just signed its first tenant, Integro President Shawn Campion said.
Charlotte bankruptcy attorney Terry Duncan will relocate to Salisbury with two employees, Campion said, adding that he’s talking to about a dozen other potential tenants. Sharon Baker is the new general manager for the Salisbury Business Center.
As the brick facade goes up four months after the project broke ground, Campion said he expects Integro to move from its current location — a renovated warehouse on North Lee Street — into the new building on Nov. 1. Integro’s manufacturing operations will occupy the backshop at the rear of the building.
The remainder of the Salisbury Business Center should open Jan. 14, Campion said.
Opening day was pushed back a few weeks after difficulty obtaining easements for electrical service, he said. City Council is scheduled to consider a right-of-way agreement with Duke Energy at 4 p.m. today.
The city has agreed to provide 76 parking spaces for Integro, including 24 existing spaces behind City Hall and 52 new parking spaces beside and behind the Salisbury Business Center. The cost of the parking construction has not been discussed by City Council.
Integro has 25 employees, but the headquarters will include state-of-the-art conference rooms and a 90-seat auditorium that Campion expects to draw people from around the region.
He said he’s already fielding inquiries from groups interested in renting the facilities. During the recent tour, Chamber of Commerce President Elaine Spalding listed several organizations that have contacted her about holding meetings in Salisbury and would be interested in the auditorium and conference rooms.
Campion said he expects to have the auditorium booked at least twice a week, with 40 to 90 participants descending on downtown Salisbury for lunch while they’re here. He said he plans to notify local restaurants when they should expect a crowd.
The building has gone up using 95 percent local labor, Campion said.
Integro had to slow down some orders at its current location because it lacks space, he said. With the move-in date only weeks away, the company is now bidding on about $25 million of new projects, he said.
Integro designs quality-control systems for production lines. Clients include Fortune 500 companies like BMW and Kimberly Clark.
The tour, led by Campion and Integro Operations Manager Kevin Mather, included City Manager Doug Paris, Downtown Salisbury Inc. President Mark Lewis, Spalding and others. But the guest of honor was John Leatherman, a local developer and chairman of the Rowan County Republican Party.
Leatherman has been a critic of the proposed downtown school central office, which the city wants to build next door to Integro and lease to Rowan-Salisbury Schools.
City leaders are wooing Leatherman, who’s been a staunch proponent of putting the central office at the Salisbury Mall. The school board voted to build the central office downtown, but Rowan County commissioners declined to fund the project.
Paris asked Leatherman for his help “in resolving this issue.” All of the commissioners are Republicans.
“Your leadership at this moment would be critical and long-lasting,” Paris said in an email.
The central office project stalled after the city said the county interfered with Salisbury’s state application to allow the city to borrow $7.3 million for construction. County officials denied the charge.
During Friday’s tour, Paris asked Leatherman what the city should do about the impasse.
“What’s stopping development on South Main Street is purely political,” Paris said.
Leatherman said better communication would help, but added he would have to think about how the city could specifically improve.
“This is a great start,” he said.
Leatherman told the Post he was impressed with the Integro site, and while he supports a school central office, he is not yet convinced that downtown is the best location.
He said he believes he was invited on the tour because he has expressed concerns about the downtown location. He said he was there as a citizen, not as chairman of the Republican Party.
“There are Republicans on both sides of the central office issue,” he said. “At this point, I’m not taking a side on whether it’s downtown or at the mall or wherever the school board decides. We need more communication, and that’s why I was there.”
Leatherman said he was aware that the school board voted to build the central office downtown.

What does The Salvation Army do?
It is hard to list everything that The Salvation Army does since it does everything from feeding starving children and families through recovery from natural disasters, and more. They battle against poverty, addiction and homelessness. They are a kind face to comfort the sick and elderly, a wise spirit to support the education of all ages, and a giving heart to address need wherever it occurs. For more information about specific activities and programs offered, please see the Services portion of our web site. Is The Salvation Army a social service agency? No, we are a group of committed Christians who are concerned to see that the gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ - reaches the needs of the whole person. The Army’s social work sprang out of such concern. Is The Salvation Army really an army? The Salvation Army is not a physical army but rather a global army of people moved to humanitarian action through faith. Does The Salvation Army help only those of a certain religion? The Salvation Army pledges to help people of all religions, as well as those with no religious base. We have an official “position statement” that says: “All social welfare services to individuals or families are given without discrimination, according to the capacity of the organization to serve in meeting the needs of those involved.” Do you have to join The Salvation Army church before The Army will help you?
No. We respect those who come to us in need, whatever their beliefs may be. We try to establish an environment in which spiritual choice is possible.
Does The Salvation Army discriminate in its delivery of services against those of a particular race or sexual orientation?
We strive to meet the needs of vulnerable groups and those overlooked or ignored in our communities. We make no distinction based on ethnicity or sexual orientation. Does The Salvation Army help only senior citizens? The Salvation Army helps people of all ages. Young people benefit from many of our services including kids clubs, homework havens and tutoring programs, which provide a safe environment for children and teens. Other beneficiaries of our services include single mothers, abused women, drug and alcohol addicts, the homeless and the physically challenged. Does The Salvation Army help only those who are beyond rehabilitation? The Army believes that everyone has the capacity to determine a solution for their problems. A great many of our programs are directed at helping people turn their lives around. Every year, we help thousands of individuals find their way to a better life for themselves and their families. Why should I contribute to The Salvation Army? There are several answers to this question. First, The Salvation Army has demonstrated its ability to effectively identify and efficiently meet urgent human needs in communities throughout the world for over 120 years. When you give to us, you know that your money is going to those who need it most. Second, the people we serve have multiple needs. The wide range of our programs means that we can deal with the whole person under the umbrella of a single agency. Third, our staff combines the expertise of professional training with the experience of working on a wide variety of social problems and emergency relief situations. I can’t make a financial contribution right now. How else can I help? There are many ways to give to The Salvation Army and to those in need in your community. Donated items such as gift baskets for Christmas or toys and coats for kids make a big difference. You can also assist by repairing Salvation Army camps in your local area or donating camp equipment. Last but not least, you can simply give time by volunteering to help with our fundraising campaigns and other activities. How do I schedule a pick-up of personal goods I'd like to donate?
The Salvation Army Family/Thrift Store is always in need of lightly used clothing, furniture, electronics, books, housewares, and more to provide quality goods for those who desire or need alternative shopping experiences. Your donations give those suffering great material loss an opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity. To schedule a pick-up, please call 404-522-9783. How is my donation used?
The Salvation Army translates its faith into action by offering programs and services to assist those in need in a variety of ways. Your gift can enable us to serve nutritious meals to older adults, shelter homeless families, help people overcome addictions, provide after-school tutoring and recreation, and send inner-city children to summer camp. If your concern is global, you can contribute to Salvation Army World Services, which provides such programs as HIV/AIDS clinics in Africa, homeless feeding services in Russia, enterprise development in the Philippines, and homes for orphaned and abandoned children in Mexico.
Can I have a monthly donation deducted from my checking account? The answer is yes! The Salvation Army offers Donor Direct, a program that allows you to make a regular contribution to The Salvation Army each month without the hassle of mailing in checks. Once you sign-up, we'll automatically debit your checking account on the 15th of each month.
It's easy to sign up. All you need to do is fill out a Donor Direct authorization form, and mail it us along with a copy of a voided check. Is The Salvation Army rich? Yes and no! The Salvation Army is rich in the quality of devoted service given by its workers, the esteem in which it is held by the public, and in its Christian faith that is the motivation for all that it does. But The Salvation Army is not financially rich. Rather, it is a channel through which money passes to provide for those who otherwise would not be helped.
How much of your money goes to administration? The Salvation Army makes every effort to ensure that the maximum possible amount from donations reaches those in need. Approximately 87 cents of every dollar we collect goes in direct assistance to the homeless, the mentally ill, the physically challenged, victims of drug and alcohol abuse, and others under our care.
What is the role of volunteers in The Salvation Army? Volunteers give us valuable assistance in many ways. We have over 50,000 volunteers across the country working in a variety of capacities and alongside our employees to provide direct services to those in need.
My business has an interest in helping specific causes. How can I ensure that our contribution will go to these causes? Donations that are specified or designated for a certain program or region are used to support that program and/or region directly. If you wish to specify your gift, this should be clearly noted when you make your donation. Our online donations page, for example, gives you a special box to specify such information.
Is The Salvation Army only in the United States of America?
No. The Salvation Army actually began in London, England, before expanding to The United States. The Salvation Army currently has offices and services in over 111 countries and territories and shares the gospel and love of the Lord in over 175 languages. This web site is dedicated to the Eastern Territory of The Salvation Army within the United States, which includes Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
How does The Salvation Army ensure that its programs meet the same quality standards across your region? The Salvation Army is involved in the continuous development and promotion of new and innovative strategies for service delivery. Social service centers across the country are engaged in an ongoing process of evaluation and improvement through an accreditation program managed by our national office.
Is The Salvation Army making a difference in my community? Because of the wide scope of the services we offer, The Salvation Army is uniquely positioned to think in terms of long term solutions to social problems. We certainly continue to meet the short term needs of individuals for food, shelter and clothing. Our long term care services provide a continuum of care based on the philosophy of “aging in place” wherever possible. It is very likely that there are people in your community that have been served by one or more of our many services. Please see our Locations for more information about Salvation Army centers near you.
Why do you still wear those uniforms?
Mainly because it gives us an “open door” to service and because the uniform tells everyone that the wearer is a Christian who will be glad to help. Also, we’ve never heard of an Army without uniform. Salvationists find that the uniform is not only distinctive, it is practical as well.
Why should I help people on the street when they won’t help themselves? In these tough times, we all know of people who have suffered losses through no fault of their own. When such an event happens, The Salvation Army is there to help. If social issues are left unattended, they affect society. Drug problems, for example, often lead to crime. Giving to The Salvation Army is an investment in prevention. Through our programs, people are taught to behave responsibly and to assume control of their own lives.
How can I join or learn more about The Salvation Army?
We encourage you to contact your nearest Salvation Army office or headquarters if you are interested in joining or if you seek more information. Salvation Army locations in your area can be found in the Locations portion of this web site. Those interested in contributing can also see our donations page or volunteer through the online Volunteering section. Thank you for helping us to help others.
How many people are in The Salvation Army? There are currently well over 1 million soldiers of God within The Salvation Army worldwide. This includes volunteers, officers, and employees; and this number is growing. Please see our international statistics for more detailed information. Literally thousands of people participate in The Salvation Army’s good deeds in the Eastern Territory alone.

Majority of One - 17 November 2012 12:03 PMI define spirituality as believing that humans are somehow connected to the “universe” or the cosmos in some way.
We are connected to the Universe. We are a product of it. I believe this yet I don’t consider myself “spiritual”. I don’t understand the point of using that word to describe physical reality.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 12:03 PMDifferent people would define even that in different ways which doesn’t conflict with my definition. There’s probably as many ways to be spiritual as there are people who call themselves spiritual. Also, I think a lot of people can’t let go of the god they were indoctrinated with as a child but get that religion is manipulative and a business.
Right. So when children are no longer being indoctrinated, the problem of God will solve itself.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 12:03 PMThey believe in a god but don’t perscribe to a religion and therefore call themselves spiritual. Hope that helps.
Ah, so when you say spiritual, you mean someone who believes in God but no specific religion. I think that’s agnostic.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 12:03 PMAs to objectivism, I’m a fan of Ayn Rand’s but I think she is a bit extreme politically. She came from Russia where she formed opinions that drove her work and her viewpoint. I think we should move more toward objectivism and away from altruism but I can’t see pure capitalism working any better than pure communism mainly because we can’t get to “pure” either way. Humans are always going to act in ways that are unpredictable to some extent.
Why is “acting in ways that are unpredictable” a bad thing? You said that like you think its problematic. Why do you think its problematic?

Majority of One
I mean connected to the universe in a supernatural way. That somehow the universe cares about the human and intervenes on the human’s behalf. I think the person has just replaced “god” with the “universe”. Like the sentence: “That went well. The universe is looking out for me.”
I don’t think humans behaving in a unpredictable ways is a bad thing and I didn’t say that. It just makes it difficult to put a system of government in place that everyone is going to be able to enjoy and thrive under. Some people actually do thrive under totalitarian regimes like Ayn Rand railed against. Some are perfectly happy to be told what to do. She was different. Doesn’t make her better, smarter or anything else. Just different.

Rand’s Objectivism denounces mythology. Mythology is the anti-thesis of reason.

Thats why government should be private. There will be competition.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 04:22 PMSome people actually do thrive under totalitarian regimes like Ayn Rand railed against.
Only people that are part of the regime thrive under totalitarian regimes.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 04:22 PM Some are perfectly happy to be told what to do.
No. Nobody is happy living irresponsibly. In life, problems are inevitable. And living irresponsibly makes problem solving impossible. Relying on other people to solve one’s problems doesn’t work well.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 04:22 PM She was different. Doesn’t make her better, smarter or anything else. Just different.
No. It does make her better—because she was smarter.

Well, in that she was right.
Rami Rustom - 17 November 2012 05:20 PMOnly people that are part of the regime thrive under totalitarian regimes.
Maybe so, but they’re still people. And, I think you’re not being very open minded to the possibility that there are people who aren’t very smart who are probably perfectly happy being told what to do. They’re fine with whatever government they’ve been brought up in and don’t question anything. You see a lot of religious people in the world for this very reason. And, I don’t think they see it as living irresponsibly because they don’t really question it or even think about it. They go about their business doing as they’re told and they’re fine with that.
Rami Rustom - 17 November 2012 05:20 PMNo. It does make her better—because she was smarter.
If your definition of better is smarter than most everyone else then ok. She definitely was that. Like I said, I’m a fan of hers. I think she was an absolute genius.

How they see “it” doesn’t matter. What matters is the objective truth. They are living irresponsible lives. And it hurts them.
Majority of One - 17 November 2012 05:35 PMbecause they don’t really question it or even think about it. They go about their business doing as they’re told and they’re fine with that.

Thinking better means acting better.
Rami: Wow, you just sound really judgmental. I agree with the statement “thinking better means acting better.”
However, the people we are writing about are IMO unaware that how they think is causing them problems. How is this their fault? I’m talking about people who are incapable of thinking any differently whether we have free will or not. We may not have it to the extent we believe we do in which case these people are just making honey and building the hive without much thought to how to do it differently or better. Here in Colorado, I’m surrounded by red neck republicans. I work with only one other person who is “middle of the road.” The rest loudly and proudly bray about how Obama is going to destroy the country and take us into socialism, when other than the healthcare thing, he has done nothing that even remotely resembles socialism. They also say climate change is a hoax or is just “normal.” But, doesn’t matter what the facts are. They’re not going to change their minds, at least not by what anyone says to them. They don’t see themselves as wrong or irresponsible. What to do? Calling them names sure as hell doesn’t help.
And, yes, I think you’re being closed minded. You seem very intelligent, so I don’t mean it too disparagingly, but you’re coming across that way.

Are you saying I called them names? I don’t recall that. Please quote me.

What am I being closed-minded about? Being closed-minded means being unwilling to consider changing one’s mind about a specific idea. So what idea are you saying that I’m unwilling to consider changing my mind about?
You called them irresponsible.
You seem unwilling to change your mind to the possibility that people are fine living under totalitarian regimes. You can’t seem to accept that there might be people who see that form of government as positive since they don’t have to think for themselves. They don’t mind being told what to do because it suits them.
You might not like it, I wouldn’t like it, but I recognize that there are people who think differently than me.
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 03:50 PMYou called them irresponsible.
Yes, because they are living irresponsibly. And you agreed with me when you say “since they don’t have to think for themselves”. Not thinking for oneself *is* irresponsible. Letting someone else think for oneself is putting the responsibility on someone else—hence irresponsible.
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 03:50 PMYou seem unwilling to change your mind to the possibility that people are fine living under totalitarian regimes.
You’ve misunderstood. You asserted that they are fine with their totalitarian regime and I agreed. I’ll quote myself: “Yes they are fine with it. Because they don’t know better. And it is hurting them.”
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 03:50 PMYou can’t seem to accept that there might be people who see that form of government as positive
But I do accept it, which is why I said “Yes they are fine with it”.
And I made a further point that how people view the government doesn’t make their view the right one. Do you agree?
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 03:50 PMsince they don’t have to think for themselves. They don’t mind being told what to do because it suits them.
I agreed to that already. And I’m saying that living irresponsibly hurts them.
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 03:50 PMYou might not like it, I wouldn’t like it, but I recognize that there are people who think differently than me.
So do I. You seem to say that I don’t understand that. But I don’t understand why you think that since I agreed with you on that point.
Rami Rustom - 18 November 2012 04:54 PMYes, because they are living irresponsibly. And you agreed with me when you say “since they don’t have to think for themselves”. Not thinking for oneself *is* irresponsible. Letting someone else think for oneself is putting the responsibility on someone else—hence irresponsible.
I equate irresponsible behavior with something you can control and I’ll concede I may be wrong about that.
Rami Rustom - 18 November 2012 04:54 PMBut I do accept it, which is why I said “Yes they are fine with it”.
And I made a further point that how people view the government doesn’t make their view the right one. Do you agree?.
Yes. But, I was making the point that that is our opinion and it may not be shared by others. That is all I was saying. I think this or that government is the right one because I’ve thought it through and genuiely want the most people to thrive. But others, who may have a sadistic streak, or no empathy, or whatever, may not see it my way and they may have thought it through with their sadistic filter and come to a different conclusion than me. To them, they’re right.
I think we’re kind of in agreement, maybe just some semantic issues. Thanks for the discussion!
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 05:06 PMRami Rustom - 18 November 2012 04:54 PMYes, because they are living irresponsibly. And you agreed with me when you say “since they don’t have to think for themselves”. Not thinking for oneself *is* irresponsible. Letting someone else think for oneself is putting the responsibility on someone else—hence irresponsible.
I don’t agree with that definition of irresponsibility. What about a guy who *believes* that he’s not able to control a certain problem? Is this person irresponsible about this problem?
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 05:06 PMRami Rustom - 18 November 2012 04:54 PMBut I do accept it, which is why I said “Yes they are fine with it”.
You’re operating under the theory that morality is relative. But that theory is false. Morality is objective. Every decision has an objective fact of the matter that determines the objective truth. Now I might be wrong about what that fact is, and you might be wrong about it, and that other guy might be wrong about it, but the point is that there *is* an objective fact.
Majority of One - 18 November 2012 05:06 PMI think we’re kind of in agreement, maybe just some semantic issues. Thanks for the discussion!
I think what you’re saying is that the hypothetical person believes that he’s doing the right thing (morally right). I agree. And I’m saying he’s wrong about that—objectively wrong.
Truth is objective. Morality is objective.

You can’t get elected in the US unless you at least pretend to be a religion nutter. Some US presidents have been atheists, but none of these has admitted the fact. I say “religion nutter” because anyone who believes in the supernatural is a nutter. In the US, to come out of the closet as an atheist and run for president is to commit political suicide. You have to become a lying bag of excrement if you are to have any chance of becoming elected. The truth doesn’t always set you free. There are times when it can trap and ruin you.

Santa Cruz Ocean Shore Depot
The Ocean Shore Railroad had precisely one formal depot along its right-of-way, and it was a small little creation at that. While plans were set forth to develop a sprawling, thriving depot near the Southern Pacific's Santa Cruz Union Depot, the earthquake and corporate bickering ended that option. The Southern Pacific successfully blocked the Ocean Shore's path to its proposed depot site, stranding the railroad's operations on the West Side of Santa Cruz near Bay Street. A short hill and Neary's Lagoon seemed small enough obstacles to surmount, but the politics of the day helped doom the Ocean Shore Railroad as much as natural disasters and financial collapses.
Thus, the history of the Santa Cruz Ocean Shore Depot was sad, much like the history of the railroad itself. The original temporary depot, a simple 10 ft. by 12 ft. shack with windows facing either way down the right-of-way, was all the Ocean Shore ever built for its primary Santa Cruz location. The depot, while located at 0.0 miles down the Ocean Shore's Southern Division tracks, was about 0.7 miles away from the Santa Cruz Union Depot via a small little switchback track near the larger depot's wye. Indeed, the switch was a part of the northern wye and the Southern Pacific made transfers at this site as difficult as possible, even if most of the rolling stock on the southern division of the Ocean Shore was at least partly owned by the Southern Pacific. The depot's precise location correlates closely today with the large Westcliff Townhomes building beside the old Howe Truss Bridge off West Cliff Drive near Bay Street. Originally, there was a footpath for passengers to walk from the end of this bridge to the depot. This location placed it somewhat embarrassingly above the Southern Pacific freight yard, an insurmountable obstacle teasing the Ocean Shore Railroad every day of its existence.
Santa Cruz Ocean Shore Depot around 1910. The engine is facing the wrong way, which was one of the many problems with the lack of cooperation with the Southern Pacific Railroad. The engine could be reversed at the S.P. wye, at Swanton, or possibly at the San Vicente Mill at the end of Delaware Street. (Louis Stein, Jr., via Rick Hamman)
The depot served its purpose for a good fifteen years before the Ocean Shore Railroad shuttered operations in the area. After 1920, the San Vicente Lumber Company was responsible for maintaining the tracks, and likely was given more access privileges on the Southern Pacific tracks than the Ocean Shore had ever been allowed. Since the line shifted strictly to freight (and employees), the likelihood is that the Santa Cruz depot was abandoned around 1920. Traffic for employees probably ended at Garfield Avenue, where streetcar access was readily available. Business transactions were conducted elsewhere while the San Vicente Mill was located deeper into the West Side of Santa Cruz. The tracks in front of the old depot remained until the route was scrapped in 1923. The fate of the physical depot building is unknown.

Ocean Shore Railroad,

Garfield Avenue Flag-Stop
The Ocean Shore Railroad had a gold vision when it began plotting its railroad along the coast. Compared to the Coast Line Railroad which was built alongside it in Santa Cruz County, the Ocean Shore had double the stops and freight stations. Predictably, they were all of a marginal nature, unfortunately, and many ceased operating fairly soon after the earthquake when the Ocean Shore Railroad began its slow decline.
One such stop was on Garfield Avenue in Santa Cruz, built around 1906. Located 0.9 miles north of the Ocean Shore's Santa Cruz Depot, the station structure itself consisted of an 8' x 10' shelter with two windows on the side walls and an open front facing the tracks. Despite the rather poor quality of this shelter, it ended up being one of the more-developed of those along the route, one of only five shelters built for the myriad flag-stops and freight stations along the 15.5 mile route. The station was located near the intersection of Ocean Shore Avenue and Garfield Avenue. At some point after 1924, Garfield Avenue was renamed Woodrow Avenue in honor of President Wilson. Ocean Shore Avenue became Delaware Avenue, probably after the railroad was leased to the San Vicente Lumber Company in 1920. Unlike many of the other stops along the Ocean Shore's route, this stop was purely for residents with no heavy industry accessible in the immediate area. After 1906, most of the commuters would be workers from the cement plant or from the various farms and mills in North County spending their evenings and weekends in Santa Cruz. The importance of this stop was heightened by it being the only Ocean Shore stop with direct access to a streetcar line—the Mission Street line to be specific.
As to be expected, nothing remains of this little flag-stop. When the Ocean Shore ceased operations in 1920, the railroad continued to pass the site for another three years and employees of the San Vicente Lumber Company likely still used it considering its proximity to the streetcar lines. The area remains a residential community now as it has since 1889 when Garfield Park was first organized as a subdivision. This author has found no photographs of this stop nor are pictures of it likely to be forthcoming. Garfield Avenue Flag-Stop is just another sad footnote in the short history of the Ocean Shore Railroad.

Me in front of the southern portal of the Mountain
Charlie tunnel in summer, 2013.
Since 2010, I have been researching the historic railroad lines of Santa Cruz County. It should come as no surprise to anybody that the intent of this research all along has been to write a book. In fact, I hope that someday two books may come out of this research. For the time being, however, only one book is planned: Santa Cruz Trains: Railroads of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
This book will be a roughly 250-page reference book documenting the history of the various lines between the Santa Cruz wharves and Vasona Junction near Los Gatos. It will focus primarily on the stops, trestles, and tunnels along the route, though it will also include a section devoted to those wishing to explore the right-of-way as it currently exists. Furthermore, the book will include GPS coordinates for every location mentioned in the book (where possible) and information regarding access rights to those locations. Finally, there will be photographs. LOTS of photographs. What is a railroad history book without pictures, right? I've been working closely with the staff of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, the San Lorenzo Valley Museum, the Los Gatos History Museum, and local historians in obtaining new and previously unpublished photographs of the route, including pictures of the state of the route during its unfortunate closure in 1940. Many of these have already been posted to this site, but there are many more to come in the future.
To help support this project, I have opened up a new blog at santacruztrains.blogspot.com which will be where I post progress reports, updates, and new discoveries, as well as questions for the public. Unlike my primary blog at www.santacruztrains.com, this new blog will be more of an open discussion forum for local railroad and regional historians. Feel free to comment on any related subject to any post in the blog. I will try to keep people apprised of my research and writing in the meantime.
This website, as always, will continue to be updated beginning this month with new content regarding the Ocean Shore and Coast Line Railroads, the Santa Cruz Railroad, the Aptos Branch, and the private lumber lines along all of the aforementioned lines. This website will continue to expand over the next few years until every station, stop, spur, siding, railroad company, connected logging mill, trestle, tunnel, wharf, and pier is accounted for. This website is not complete until the entire Santa Cruz County network of railroads is documented.
So stay tuned and hang on for a long and winding ride through the history of Santa Cruz County railroading. And follow my progress blog which will soon have a home at the top of my primary site. Thank you loyal readers and keep giving me all you've got!

West Shore Railway Company
West Shore Railway survey map blueprint, 1896.
(UC Santa Cruz Digital Map Collection)
An enthusiastic attempt at nothingness. That is all that can really describe the short-lived West Shore Railway Company. Incorporated on July 11th, 1895 (registered with the State July 26th), the West Shore Railway Company sought to be the first railroad to bridge the gap between San Francisco and Santa Cruz via the coastline route, an estimated 80 miles of track. The plans in place included a standard-gauged trunk line along the coast stopping at such places as Half Moon Bay and Pescadero, with spurs and sidings at appropriate places. At least three surveys were made prior to incorporation, with one especially peaking the board's interest. The board of directors consisted of C.M Sanger (president), Behrend Joost (vice president), R.S. Thornton (treasurer), J.W. Eisenfurth (secretary), Louis F. Dunand (attorney), K.J. Willets, and R. Herman. San Francisco was the headquarters of the $2,000,000 company, though at the time of incorporation only $80,000 was subscribed. The remainder was promised by Joost, but the origin was never explained nor, apparently, the amount deposited. This may have been a foreshadowing of its troubled future.
The reasons for their failure is not entirely known. The San Francisco Call in 1894 was the first to report on the railroad, a year before incorporation. They outlined the basic route of the train, its start at Potrero Avenue and 25th Street to its initial terminus at Spanishtown. Five tunnels, including two within the city of San Francisco, were planned between the two points. While it is stated here that grading had already commenced on the railroad, this is highly unlikely. Final plans, likely after resolving disputes concerning San Francisco right-of-ways with the Southern Pacific, were in place to begin construction in late September 1895 with portions of the construction materials already in place. The northern section of the route was anticipated to pass around the bluffs at San Bruno before circling around toward Colma and then passing through a tunnel into the San Pedro Valley before entering a pair of tunnels, likely near San Pedro Point, and entering the Half Moon Bay region. The route would then continue an additional eight miles before ending at Spanishtown. The company planned to run ferries to locations throughout the bay from a depot in the Potrero District of San Francisco. Though quoted at 80 miles, the West Shore Railway anticipated cutting the route between San Francisco and Santa Cruz by ten miles, while significantly increasing the scenery of the route. Naturally, tourism was the primary concern for this line, though freight was always anticipated as the moneymaker.
Regardless of the promises, the railroad never happened. The Ocean Shore Electric Railroad followed much of the same route when it first graded around 1904 while the Coast Line Railroad, owned by the Southern Pacific, began its own attempt at the route in 1905. The last mention of the West Shore Railway is on a survey may submitted by the railway on August 24th, 1896. This has since been collected by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History with the original blueprint held by UC Santa Cruz's Map Collection. The outlined route remained little more than a dream.

Upper Los Gatos Creek Trestles
An 1879 survey map of the Upper Los Gatos Creek basin,
oriented with the Summit Tunnel (originally Tunnel #3)
at the bottom and the creek heading roughly north.
(Bruce MacGregor)
Much like the meandering San Lorenzo River north of Felton, Los Gatos Creek required South Pacific Coast Railroad builders to erect multiple trestles between Wright's and Los Gatos Town. Not including the trestles outside the aforementioned towns, the right-of-way crossed over Los Gatos Creek six times in the Los Gatos Creek valley. Four of these crossings were between Aldercroft and Wrights while the remaining two straddled the town of Alma. Additional trestles were built to bridge the various feeder creeks in the canyon, including trestles at Hooker Gulch, Limekiln Creek, Soda Springs, among others. A progression of trestles is thus (from the south, heading north):
– Wright's Trestle South
– Wright's Trestle North
– Hooker Gulch Trestle
– Call of the Wild Trestle
– Aldercroft Trestle South
– Aldercroft Trestle North
– Alma Trestle South
– Alma Trestle North
– Soda Springs Trestle
– Limekiln Creek Trestle
– Cats Canyon Trestle
One of the trestles crossing a gulch on its way to Los Gatos, 1895. The identity of the feeder creek is unknown, though this author suspects it is Limekiln Gulch and that the town site of Lexington is across the creek. Los Gatos Creek can be seen in the foreground, showing this is not one of the major crossings. (Bruce MacGregor)
Unfortunately, historical photographs of all of these trestles except for one have not been discovered by this author. Their early history, though, can still be derived from South Pacific Coast records. The original redwood-built narrow-gauged trestles were all constructed between 1877 and 1878. Gauging from the extant photographs of the Wrights and Los Gatos Town trestles, these were built following the standards of the day, with wood pilings acting as piers and crossbeam supports holding up the rail bed. The South Pacific Coast Railroad was generally a frugal organization and these trestles would have been made with the cheapest available supplies of the highest quality, likely locally milled redwood. The photograph above shows an eight-pier wooden trestle in 1895, a fairly standard design along the route during its narrow-gauged years. These trestles were slowly replaced with standard-gauged trestles throughout the mid- to late-1890s when the Southern Pacific Railroad began upgrading its entire Santa Cruz division.
Alma Trestle South, repurposed for the
San José Water Company to support
pipes running from Lake Elsman.
(Brian Liddicoat)
Evidence of these later trestles is a bit more forthcoming due to the use of the right-of-way by the San José Water District. At least one of the trestle piers have been repurposed to suspend water piping coming from Lake Elsman. All of the trestles are visible except the Alma Trestle North, which is inundated, and the Soda Springs and Limekiln Creek trestles, also inundated. Having not visited these trestles, this researcher is relying on observations made by Brian Liddicoat during his own expedition along the historic right-of-way in 2009. The trestle at left is that of Alma Trestle South, located just north of Alma Bridge on Alma Bridge Road. The trestle was supported by two large concrete piers with curbs to support what can only have been a Pacific Bridge Company prefabricated trestle span. This span would have been a simple steel girder built to support ties and rail. It's repurposing to support pipes shows the durability of the span, though the span is also quite short and did not appear to require a central support pier.
According to Brian, piers or curbs still are present at the sites of every one of the three concrete trestles north of Alma Trestle South, though he did not photograph them. The one remaining trestle, the Call of the Wild Trestle, was apparently made of wood and was very short, with a gap in the right-of-way the only clue to the trestle's existence. Most of the trestles are hidden in brush along the banks of the creek or difficult to access as the San José Water District access road does not cross the creek when the tracks do unless necessary. All of these trestles except Alma Trestle South are on San José Water Company land and trespassers have been fined before for attempting to access them. That being said, the right-of-way through this area is unreliable and parts of it may be accessible via other means than simply following the water company's access road.
Wright's Trestle North in ruins along the bank of Los Gatos Creek. (Brian Liddicoat)
Further up the creek, Liddicoat photographed what can only be described as a poor excuse for a trestle. The Wright's Trestle North once brought the right-of-way back to the west side of the creek after it crossed at Wright's. Why this trestle collapsed when virtually no others along the entire South Pacific Coast right-of-way have is somewhat of a mystery. Clearly inferior construction is partially to blame since this portion of the creek is not prone to particularly violent flooding. The pier was hexagonal in shape, a type more unusual to the region though not unknown. Still, the concrete nature of the pier suggests it supported a steel trestle of some sort, though without seeing the curbs, it is impossible to determine the type of trestle.
The trestles of Los Gatos Creek remain a testament to the history of the region, though their relative obscurity makes them difficult to study and their history largely lost to the elements.

Zayante Spur
Right-of-way according to RickHamman's map. (Rick Hamman)
When the South Pacific Coast Railroad first proposed its passage to Santa Cruz, the Santa Clara Valley Mill & Lumber Company likely had a say in its eventual right-of-way. Just as Frederick Hihn ensured that the route passed through his Laurel holdings, so too did the Doughertys ensure it passed through their Zayante Creek holdings, which had suffered since 1877 due to a lack of access. Once the new right-of-way was agreed upon, the Doughertys built there mill. The only problem: the right-of-way was a hundred feet above it!
While the precise location of the original Santa Clara Valley Mill & Lumber Company mill in the Zayante Creek basin is not entirely known, it seems most likely to have been located at the junction of Zayante Creek with Mountain Charlie Gulch where today a fire road climbs up to the railroad grade. This fire road would have been the primary means of reaching the railroad, except for freight, which would need a more even grade to get to waiting trains. Rich Hamman, in contrast, positions the mill much more closely to the start of the spur and on the east side of the creek, with only a narrow-gauged line continuing past the mill. Yet the existing photograph of the mill suggests that the mill was located in a basin near the creek, with no extension line going beyond it. Furthermore, the east side of the creek in the area he notes was too steep for a large-scale mill to operate. The Dougherty mill on Zayante Creek only existed between 1880 and 1887, when it burned down and was moved to Riverside Grove north of Boulder Creek.
Remains of the Zayante Spur Trestle located off of Western States Drive, 2014.
This Zayante Spur's purpose after 1887 remains unknown, though it makes logical sense that other small-scale milling operations in the area may have used the old spur for their own purposes. The steepness of the railroad grade meant that the junction of the spur with the mainline was nowhere near the SCVM&L Co. mill. Rather, it was located near Meehan Station off of modern-day Western States Drive. The actual site of the switch was actually near East Creek Drive and Laurel, two roads that nearly cross the right-of-way south of Western States Drive. Property alignments in this area show a right-of-way descending from these roads, closely following a bend in the creek before crossing the creek near Western States. This narrow-gauge spur supported full-sized engines and flatcars, as evidenced by the photograph of the mill showing a single engine, likely the "Felton", parked in the lumber yard. A ruined narrow-gauged trestle that once crossed Zayante Creek still sits at the site, a silent testament to an earlier age. This trestle was a simple design, with a concrete anchor supporting two square pilings on the east side of the creek, and a simple concrete curb on the west side. Crossbeams maintained the integrity of the structure. Unfortunately, any trace of the top of the trestle has been lost so the manner of its further structural support is unknown.
Original right-of-way to mill on East Zayante Road, left, while a newer autobridge crosses creek here, and again 1/4" north to bypass mill property.
From the railroad grade south of Meehan Station, the right-of-way descended steeply to the creek level where, at the trestle, it crossed Zayante Creek then continued northward until merging with modern-day East Zayante Road on the modern-day property of 9988 E. Zayante Rd. From there, the right-of-way is roughly congruous with the modern road until passing into the property of the old mill immediately prior to an auto bridge that today wraps around the original mill site. The address for the old mill is 11481 E. Zayante Rd. This route was nearly three miles long from its switch to its end, and it is rumored that a landslide buried an engine in 1884.
Today, the mill site now has a home sitting upon it, while the right-of-way has mostly been turned into a road. Not surprisingly, this is one of the most evenly graded and least twisty sections of East Zayante Road, though there are parts where small trestles may have rounded out curves during its original run.

North of the Turkey Foot in Boulder Creek, the Santa Clara Valley Mill & Lumber Company line criss-crossed the ever-shrinking river six more times before Waterman Switch. Those trestles built north of Waterman Switch are uncounted and no real remnants remain of them. Of the six, two have known historical photographs while one of those also has contemporary photographs taken by Rick Hamman in the 1980s.

The first trestle north of the Turkey Foot, and the first of those with historical photographs, is the Wildwood Trestle that passed through the Cunningham Mill and, later, the Wildwood subdivision. The photograph shows two ladies and a child walking down the tracks toward the trestle. The trestle appears to be a Howe Truss design, though further details are uncertain at this distance and angle. The Dougherty Extension Railroad passed through Wildwood in 1889 crossing the river just across from River Drive. The tracks were pulled in 1917, though at least this trestle may have been disassembled rather than simply abandoned. Remnants of the trestles have not been confirmed, though a rumor exists that portions of it survives near the river bed just to the west of Pleasant Way.

The only other photographed trestle was one of the three Riverside Grove Trestles, specifically the one that passed through the Santa Clara Valley Mill & Lumber Company mill site. This trestle was a short span that sat beside a ox and mule bridge and is barely discernible in its historical photograph taken of north of the mill in 1895 (above). The trestle itself would have been built around 1889 when the Dougherty Extension Railroad was advancing up the valley. Details regarding the southernmost trestle are unknown.
Around 1980, Rick Hamman took a photograph of one of these trestles, likely the most northernly of the three, while he was preparing his book California Central Coast Railroads. The photograph shows that this trestle was a basic log-build trestle with rows of three large trunks acting as piers supporting two smaller and longer trunks that supported the ties and narrow-gauged rails. In 1980, the entire southern end of the trestle was still intact sans the ties and rail. As with the rest of the line, the rail was sold for scrap in the months leading up to World War I in 1917. The ties likely fell off over the subsequent years. While the continued existence of this trestle has not been confirmed, a rumor states that it was washed out in the floods of 1982. The three trestles were located across from the end of Either Way, directly beside the Either Way auto bridge, and near the end of Bean Avenue, all three roads being of of Teilh Drive north of Boulder Creek.
The fifth crossing over the river was at modern-day Fern Drive, just where the road now crosses the river. Though it's original purpose has been lost, the area around Fern and Hillside Drives developed in the years after the railroad left. The clearing may have originally been a logging collection area much like McGaffigan's Mill, especially since the Chase Mill was located further up the hillside from this area. If any remnant of of the trestle here survives, it has not been brought to the attention of this author.
The sixth and final crossing caused by the San Lorenzo River was immediately across from the entrance to the Saratoga Toll Road within Castle Rock State Park. This trestle served to bring the trains to Waterman Switch and probably dates to a slightly later time, perhaps as late as 1897 when the logging camp moved to the headwaters of the river. Unlike the other trestles, this one did not cross the river itself but was forced to cross a lowland created by a pond adjacent to the river. Unfortunately, all evidence of this trestle was destroyed when CA State Route 9 was built, crossing the river at nearly this very spot. While the right-of-way is visible on both sides of the highway, the crossing did not survive. In any case, it was likely a very small trestle.
The Dougherty Extension Railroad continued up into the valley for another 1 1/2 miles before finally ending near the headwaters in Castle Rock State Park. In its path sat the ever-winding San Lorenzo River, which at this place was little more than a stream during most of the year. Just north of Waterman Switch, the railroad crossed the river at least once, and perhaps three times. It crossed two more times roughly 3/4 mile north of the Switch, and then crossed it at least once more before ending near modern-day Beekhius Road at the junction of the two feeder creeks that join to form the river. The scant evidence of these crossings are only visible by their absence when the right-of-way suddenly ends where the river crosses. In parts, even the right-of-way is difficult to discern from the toll road, other service roads, and the overgrowth of the all-consuming second growth redwood forest.

Wright's Trestle
The small town of Wright's along the South Pacific Coast Railroad's right-of-way to Santa Cruz once sported a trestle right beside the town. It crossed over Los Gatos Creek to the north and was photographed multiple times over the years, though few, if any, photographs of the later standard-gauged trestle have surfaced.

the original town would burn and move across the creek. This is the
earliest known image of the Wright's Trestle. (Bruce MacGregor)
When Wright's was first laid out along the right-of-way, it was understood that a trestle would have to be built prior to the right-of-way heading through the mountain. The track passed over Los Gatos Creek multiple times south of Alma, and it was forced to take one last turn over the creek before it could enter the Summit Tunnel, then under construction. The trestle is well-displayed in numerous photographs, with its unique curve over the creek. When it was first built as a narrow-gauged bridge in 1878, it was constructed over both a creek and the Los Gatos Flume, visible beneath the trestle in the above photograph. The trestle was simply built, with evenly-spaced redwood piers supported by perpendicular beams. The support structure for the track was entirely made of a wood platform. Originally, space was provided only on the west side of the tracks for pedestrians, with vertical beams acting as railings. Sometime in the 1890s, a second railing was added to the opposite side of the tracks. At the southern end of the trestle, the track separated into a freight siding.

The standard-gauging of the trestle came about in early 1903 when the entire branch line to Alameda was converted. Wright's, therefore, acted as an early transfer station for goods coming from Santa Cruz via the narrow-gauged right-of-way. Interestingly, all photographs of the trestle after 1903 still show the same structure, only with broader-gauged tracks. If the original structure was retained, that would be a relatively unique trait of the Wright's trestle. Physical evidence also argues against it. What is more likely is that the old trestle was standard-gauged and that it was replaced following the earthquake. The structure itself did not get damaged during the quake, but the nearby Summit Tunnel was significantly damaged and the town was converted into a construction yard during the three years it took to rebuild the line. The Summit Tunnel was given top priority, and extant photographs of the trestle show flatcars parked on it with a parallel track in operation. Considering that the older trestle was not wide enough to support two tracks, it seems likely that a second trestle was initially built beside the original to help in the reconstruction efforts. The older trestle was then removed, probably around 1908, when the reconstruction of the tunnel was completed.

A photograph of unknown age. Bruce MacGregor states this is of 1915, but Los Gatos: Gem of the Foothills state it is from 1904. The buildings and state of the tracks both side with the 1904 date. The trestle appears nearly identical to its earlier forms, though it may be a different span. (Bruce MacGregor)

The only photograph of the later trestle available to this historian unfortunately shows the trestle mostly obscured by brush from the creek. It appears similar to the older trestle, with a wood railing along a somewhat wider, possibly two lane bridge. Like before, the opposite side has different railings than the closer. However, the bend seems significantly reduced from before and the overall look appears newer. This trestle was removed in the summer of 1940 after the Southern Pacific Railroad had abandoned the line over the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Physical evidence of the site shows that at least two concrete piers sat beneath this later trestle, proving that it was a new construct from its predecessor. An extant sign on one of the piers still reads "DANGER: Keep out from under bridge as rocks etc. might fall from passing trains." The two bridge piers that once supported the trestle are all that remain of this site. The trestle remains are accessible via Wrights Station Road off of Summit Road. At the bottom of the hill, Los Gatos Creek meanders under an old bridge. The trestle remains down the creek roughly 100 feet north of the bridge. The road passes through the town site of Wright's, though little evidence of any settlement remains today. The entrance to the Summit Tunnel is accessible via the small meadow to the left of the road just before crossing the auto bridge. Warning: This area is patrolled by the San José Water District and they have been known to ticket trespassers.

Grover Planing Mill
At the elbow of Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz once sat the Grover & Company Planing Mill, a sprawling facility built alongside the South Pacific Coast Railroad's tracks to the Santa Cruz Railroad Wharf. S.F. Grover was the president of the company, with D.W. Grover as the treasurer and secretary. The company's board of directors were rounded out with the widow of J.L. Grover, and Mrss. S.H. Brown and May L. Halstead. The Grover Company owned multiple mills throughout Santa Cruz County during its existence, with the Enterprise Mill along Soquel Creek and the El Dorado Mill in Scotts Valley. Additional mills were acquired south of Lorenzo in the San Lorenzo Valley and built in the thereafter-named Grover Gulch (now Glen Haven). In addition to lumber enterprises, the Grover & Company operated a shingle mill and a mercantile store. The residences of the D.W. and Mrs. J.L were both noted for their elegance.

The specific date of when the Pacific Avenue facility was first built is not known, but it was in full production by 1883 when it is recorded on a Sanborn Fire Insurance Company survey map. The mill had three dedicated spurs to its lumber yard and directly to its planing mill, with a fourth spur continuing on toward the neighboring Centennial Flour Mill and Oliver & Forester Planing Mill. The mill itself was a relatively small rectangular structure with a engine room. Three outbuildings, primarily for storage, were just south of the mill. The two spurs led off of the main spur and led between finished lumber and railroad ties. All the tracks were narrow-gauged.
By 1886, the facility had expanded somewhat, but the access to rail transport had decreased to a single spur ending at the planing mill. Lumber still was stacked where the old spurs had once led, but Cedar Street had crept into where the Centennial Flour Mill spur once sat. The mill itself had expanded since 1883 to include a now-linked set of outbuildings and an expansion to the western side of the mill. Finished lumber was now primarily stacked beside the tracks heading into the mill, rather than alongside the absent spurs. During this time, Pacific Avenue climbed up Beach Hill along what is now Front Street, while Mill Street sat at the bottom of the hill. For the first time, the mill is noted as being "old" in the Sanborn maps, suggesting the facility predates 1883 by a number of years.
Little changed between 1886 and 1888, when the next survey came out from Sanborn. The enlarged map shows that the Grover & Company kept its large reserves of finished lumber beside the tracks in long rows, just as it had when the spurs were there. This begs the question: why did they remove the spurs? Regardless, the facility looked just as it had in the previous survey, including with the note "old" written beneath the name of the mill.
1892 saw changes to the Grover & Company operations in Santa Cruz. The old mill had been abandoned and was remaining only until a new facility, built behind it, was completed. Still, lumber lined the Grover Mill Spur and at least one row of lumber still sat in the yard near the South Pacific Coast's main line. Yet this photograph is the last to show the spur. The Grover Planing Mill continued operations in its new facility, but it seems rail access to the site was removed following the renovation, which was noted as occurring soon after this map was drawn.
Grover & Company closed down operations by 1901, as accounted by the sudden closure of all its facilities in the county. It is not known at present why the sudden closure, yet it meant the end of the planing mill off Pacific Avenue. The next available Sanborn map of the area is from 1905 and shows no mill or spur at the site. By this date, the line has also been upgraded to standard-gauge, suggesting the spur was removed no later than then.
Today, the site of the mill is roughly the Bay Front Inn and South Pacific Apartments complexes at the end of Pacific Avenue just before the roundabout. This area remained relatively desolate for many more years after the Grover mill closed down operations, but it remained an industrial area until the early 1990s.

Place Names,
Los Gatos Planing Mill
Los Gatos was never a heavy logging town despite its close proximity to the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Perhaps this was because the railroad could get much closer to the source than the town, or perhaps it was because Saratoga and other more northern towns were able to take in the bulk of the supply. Regardless, by 1888, the Lindon & Silverton Lumber Company had begun using the vacant lot behind the Southern Pacific Railroad's engine house to build a box factory and planing mill. The facility appears to have been short lived, coming into existence in 1888 according to a Sanborn Fire Insurance survey map from the same year. The box factory and planing mill were built immediately west of the railroad right-of-way through Los Gatos with an attached barley and grain mill. Goods were loaded directly onto boxcars waiting on the main track. A large lumber yard sat along a spur west of the fruit packing spur where awaiting lumber could be loaded onto freight cars.

By 1891, the planing mill was open, though all mention of the barley and grain mill disappeared. The lumber yard moved to a more convenient home east of the mainline along a new spur built specifically for the lumber yard and planing mill. When the line was standard-gauged in 1903, the spur was extended further north. 310,000 board feet of lumber could be stored alongside the track here. The planing mill was seasonally open. A second mill owned by Tice and Gregory was just across Mullen Street, though there was no spur supporting this smaller facility.
1895 saw the transfer of the facility to the Western Mill & Lumber Company, a slightly enlarged that appears to have given up on box-making. The vast lumber yards across the tracks were expanded to support more lumber and a second lumber yard was placed just beside the engine house to the west of the main line.
The planning mill did not last long. By the time the route was standard-gauged in 1903, the planing mill was gone. Sanborn maps dating from 1905 and afterwards show the new turntable and roundhouse sitting on the site of the mill. The lumber yard remained on the west side of the tracks and the spur was enlarged into a longer siding that lasted until at least 1940. Whether the lumber was still maintain by Western Mill or some other lumbering operation is not known to this author. With the end of the planing mill around 1903, no further logging interests heavily utilized the railroad in Los Gatos.
The planing mill was located down Mullen Street a half-block down from Santa Cruz Avenue, behind the businesses. It is now in a parking lot bisected by Station Way. Regretfully, Los Gatos: Gem of the Foothills by George G. Bruntz does not deign to even mention the short-lived lumbering industry in Los Gatos.

SBA Celebrates Women's History Month March 2013 Some people start a business for financial gain, others to engage in an activity they enjoy. Leah Brown's business was born out of a tragedy, the death of a loved one.
At the age of 25, Leah was commuting to Manhattan, working twelve hour days for a Fortune 500 company. She was happy to be a part of the fast-paced New York life style back in the mid-eighties. Some days, rather than make the long return trip to New Jersey, she would stay at her uncle's apartment in the city. Leah was very close to her uncle. To Leah, he was a friend, a confidant, a parent. She was absolutely devastated when he lost his life to AIDS. After years of pain, she decided to turn her misery into a successful business enterprise. She wanted to make sure that treatments could be made available as soon as possible to save uncles and aunts all over the world. In 2004, ATEN (A10) Solutions, Inc. was born. Brown's mission was to support research and healthcare delivery. A10 helps its clients get investigational drugs to market faster and safer by managing critical clinical trials. These trials contribute to FDA approval of these drugs and treatments. This support takes many forms. It can be one employee monitoring the progress of the trial, or providing a dozen to collect data from patients. While combating HIV was the driver of the firm, the firm also focuses on other diseases that greatly affect the African American community.
Brown sought SBA help to grow A10 and help her achieve her goals. She took advantage of SBA sponsored counseling through the North Carolina Small Business & Technology Development Center and the SBA Women's Business Center of North Carolina in Durham.
In 2009, A10 was accepted into SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program. The 9-year development program offers incentives to help socially and economically disadvantaged firms increase opportunities with federal prime and sub contracts with the U.S. government. Prior to entering SBA's 8(a) program, A10 employed 78 and had sales over $5 million. The firm as grown to almost 200 employees with $11.3 million in revenues.
"The SBA served as our compass as we hiked our way through the federal government maze," said Brown.

aromatics production segment. But his easygoing manner and the culture of collaboration he insists on at the company provide a strong
clue as to how the company has achieved success.“We got together and made the decision that we really would be well served by creating a strategic plan,” say Buenz, president of
Advanced Aromatics. “We involved most of the employees in the company to look at our strengths and weaknesses. From that effort,
we developed a strategic plan for the company.”Advanced Aromatics has grown about 10 percent a year since the strategic plan was conceived in 1995. Revenue in 2005 totaled about
$39 million at the naphthalene and naphthalene-derivatives manufacturer. Smart Business spoke with the company’s president about
the importance of being a good communicator and enjoying your work.Q: How do you find the right employees?We want first to understand internally what we want that person to do. Do a lot of networking and a lot of listening.It’s important that more than one person on the team is involved in the hiring process or the interview process. If it’s a key position, you’re
going to want to have input from the sales and marketing and manufacturing, and as many different viewpoints as you can get or as time
allows.I like to understand a person’s goals and objectives. What have they enjoyed in prior work experiences? What have they considered successes? What are their longer-term goals?Hopefully you have taken enough time to develop a relationship with this person before you enter into an employment arrangement.Q: How do you develop a vision?You can put something down on paper and you can talk about it, but it depends on doing a lot of talking and a lot of listening. We started back in the mid-1990s doing work across the company with all employees, doing a lot of interviewing and discussion, to work through
the strengths and weaknesses that we had in the company.Hopefully, a company is going to be mature enough that they will be able to examine their strengths and weaknesses. Examining what
the marketplace is telling them at the time. Understanding your people are your strengths.Go to your people and get input from them. Move from there to enunciating a strategy. It should take time to mature and develop that
strategic statement.Once you have developed that mission statement, you have to walk the talk and mold your business to fit the vision that you have. It’s not
done overnight. You have to keep reinforcing that statement. It’s a continual process, and it has to be measured.Q: How do you convey the vision to employees?It’s not a one-time event. You have to do it, I won’t say on a daily basis, but as frequently as possible. Have face-to-face communication
with your employees. Put things out in print form for your employees, but face-to-face communication is as important, if not more important.The managers throughout our company have specific groups that they are responsible for. It might be R&D, it might be operations or
it might be maintenance. Use the organizational structure to communicate downwards. It’s my personal style that I like to know all the
employees in the company and use that opportunity to gauge whether the word is getting out.Q: What are some keys to being a strong leader?Try to enjoy something out of every day. Be able to make good, timely decisions. Be pretty comfortable with risk.Any decision that you make has risks associated with it. The key is to have an innate sense of what risks are acceptable. What are the
boundaries, both positive and negative? Be able to make a decision based on the information that is presented to you.Give good, constructive feedback to employees. Give assignments, lay out plans and then give feedback to the individuals concerned
as to how they have performed. If something is not working, it needs to be communicated as quickly as possible so they can make a correction. I want them at the end of their career to feel like they have accomplished most of the goals that they have set for themselves.
Stay in touch with your customers. Even though I’m not the person that is taking the order or setting the price, I want to know how he
or she feels about our company.I want to meet and know as many of our customer contacts as is possible so that we do not simply have a paper relationship but a personal relationship. I want people to feel good about the endeavor that they are involved in with my company.HOW TO REACH: Advanced Aromatics L.P., (713) 296-7505 or www.advancedaromatics.com Published in Houston Tagged underFast Lane Read more... Monday, 26 March 2007 20:00 Time to delegate Leaders who fail to delegate responsibilities as their business grows will find it hard to maintain momentum, says
Bob Walters, president of Freight Management Inc.Walters says he learned this valuable lesson more than 20
years ago when he landed two major customers and began to
wonder how he was going to handle the extra workload.“I quickly realized I needed good managers to watch this or I
could never leave the office,” Walters says. “I could never go
sell another client because I had to sit here and keep running
these clients and managing the staff.”So Walters brought in new managers and increased his staff
from 12 in the early days to 68 employees in his Anaheim office
today, with 110 employees across the nation. Revenue rose from
$22.6 million in 2005 to $25.1 million in 2006.Smart Business spoke with Walters about the importance of
delegating responsibility to allow for continuing growth.Q: How do you identify leaders in your company? Leadership entails having em-pathy for others and to not be
fearful of making decisions. If I or the managers of a department are gone and a decision has to be made, we encourage
the people, even at the low level, to make a decision.They don’t always have to be right, but those who are willing
to do that and take that risk are generally the right kind of people for leadership roles. If they are not a risk-taker and they are
not a decision-maker for even minor things, then there’s no
way they can manage other people.You can refine it and groom it, but they either have the spark
of leadership or they don’t. As a leader, you’ve got to be able to
motivate people and have the fire in your belly to succeed.Q: What is an important skill all CEOs must learn? You have to delegate to your managers under you. If I tried
to manage all 68 people, I would fail. I deal with six managers.
It’s nice to meet and get to see the staff down below but day
to day, I work with the six managers that I supervise.If you are a strong, aggressive person, you tend not to want
to trust anybody around you. I still suffer from that but I delegate, and then find if I have good follow-up or reporting, I
can tell very quickly if what I delegated is getting done without having to go out and do it.It was a little hard at first, and even today, I still check in
two or three times a day to see how everything is going. But
I don’t worry beyond that, that things are not functioning and
operating. I do read my e-mails once a day, which allows me
to see if any customer is announcing a serious problem that
is getting out of control.Q: How does a CEO get a read on his employees? I still walk throughout the building every day and visit periodically with every employee in the building at least once a
month and inquire how they are doing. Sometimes you can
learn a lot about the health of your business by talking to the
troops rather than the managers.Sometimes, if there is something not quite operating the
right way, employees are reluctant to tell their immediate
supervisor. Or the immediate supervisor is reluctant to tell
me. It’s the same style we use in working with our clients. We
can’t tell them what to do, but we do work as a team to help
them see the right vision and have the tools to make the right
decisions, and then we implement those decisions.Q: How do you deal with stress? Anybody who runs a business, we all tend to be a little
intense and very focused on what we do. So it’s easy for us to
get running down the street too fast and be too focused on one
approach, when, in fact, there could be a fatal flaw in that
approach.Some managers and presidents get so demoralized when
something fails, they begin to lose their way. They lose their
faith in themselves and their trust in their judgment. That’s
dangerous. That is the beginning of the end for running a business.Talk it out with your few trusted souls that might be with you
in the business or your wife or somebody you can talk to.
Keep links open. Talk privately and intimately with others to
bounce off your thoughts and your ideas.You need to talk things out with other people and get yourself
back off the ropes and your spirits back up.HOW TO REACH: Freight Management Inc., (714) 632-1440 or www.freightmgmtinc.com Published in Orange County Tagged underFast Lane Read more... Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:00 Elizabeth Rice Before company leaders can help employees succeed, Elizabeth Rice says they must first believe that they, themselves, can
succeed. Five years ago, when she was named president of Innovative Employee Solutions, Rice says she initially lacked that
confidence. But that doubt was erased when she realized that the patience and experience she had gained through her previous
20 years at the payroll and HR services provider put her in a strong position to lead the company, which posted 2005 revenue
of $72 million and averages nearly 15 percent annual growth. Smart Business spoke with Rice about using all your resources to
be a good leader.Stay out of the way. I articulate the objectives that I have, and then I
assign the tasks and responsibilities to the appropriate manager or
person in the company. I really trust them to take an assignment
and run with it. As a president, I don’t want to have to oversee every little detail.
I want to rely on my key staff to handle things so I can have more
time to look at the big picture. I hear of people who are micromanagers or who have to oversee
everything. We try to reach consensus on things and assign the
right jobs to the right people. Consensus isn’t really hard to come to. People may have other
opinions. They may not agree with something 100 percent, or they
might like to see it done a different way. But when we reach the
decision, we kind of agree that this is what we’ve agreed to. The message we’re going to deliver is not going to stray from
that. If an individual does not agree with it 100 percent, they have
to be able to live with it.Do a reality check. It’s important to strive to do better. But you have
to decide at what cost. When you’re setting goals and when you’re
trying to be successful in a company, reality has to be there on
many levels. You want your employees to be able to succeed. You can’t be
overzealous. Use your patience. There’s a lot to growing a business, and there is a lot to developing a successful company. It takes
people working together. It’s not hard to be patient, as long as you are making headway
and your people are growing and your company is growing and
your employees are confident and happy in their work. Do the right thing. If you start a company or you’re running a company and you don’t believe that you can succeed and don’t believe
that you have the right people in your company to do the job, it’s
almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You’re doomed if you don’t
believe you can do it. Do the right thing and approach things with honesty and integrity and [do] not try to ever fool anybody in the things that you’re
doing, whether it be a service that you deliver or a product that you
make, because it will always catch up with you. Having integrity
and being direct and honest, in any life, whether you’re the president, the CEO or anybody, that’s part of being successful, as well
as to be able to do those things and articulate clearly.Let employees know you value them. Every single person here is
important, and they have to know that they are viewed that way. I want people to know how what they do fits in to the big picture
and why it’s important. We really try to communicate that.I want people to want to like to come to work, know what their
responsibilities are and do the job and do it to the best of their ability and then benefit from the results. It’s wanting people to grow and get more opportunities.
Everyone has to understand that what they do impacts the next
person. I think that really helps build a good team relationship. If you don’t understand why you’re doing something or why
somebody is asking you for something, you may not have the
desire. If you don’t understand it, what’s going to motivate you to
do a good job? My expectation is that you’re going to get the job done. We’ll give
you the tools to do it. It’s important that you understand that and
that you make a difference in the company.Let it go. It’s hard for leaders to admit that, ‘I’ve got to let it go, I
made a mistake, and it’s time to move on.’ Sometimes, there are
things that we’ve started or that I’ve initiated where I have to
learn it’s time to let go.You feel like you’re supposed to have the answers and be
strong. You are trained that you are supposed to have it right and
you’re an example for others. If it’s a performance issue, I always give myself and others a second chance. If it’s my failure, if I had a critical idea and it’s not
going as expected, I have to know when it’s time to let go.I take responsibility for the mistake and move on. Little mistakes
happen. A system that we were having designed for us, there was
a lot of programming involved in it. It was just going on and on and
the money was piling up. Even though that investment was made, because of that investment, you sometimes say, ‘OK, let’s just keep going.’ But you have
to know, ‘OK, I’m not going to do it anymore. I invested the money,
but we’re going to stop here and we’re going to try a different
avenue that is going to make it more successful.’I know when to let go and move on and accept that it was a mistake. Put your experience to use. I don’t think too many executives come
from the HR department. I was a vice president of human
resources. My background, education and experience have helped
me. Those skills or those things that I knew or had to deal with in that
position have helped me very much in my present job. They’ve
helped me have a sense of empathy and just understanding of
human nature and trying to have a good balance of work life and
personal life for the employees. It just has helped me build an environment where everyone is
important. It’s not a big hierarchy. It’s helped me understand and
work with people better. HOW TO REACH: Innovative Employee Solutions, (858) 715-5100 or www.innovativeemployeesolutions.com Published in National Tagged underSmart Leaders Read more... Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:00 Bob Massie In the months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the company now known as Marketing Informatics was taking in less than
$15,000 a month in revenue. But when Bob Massie closes the book on 2006, the company’s founder and CEO expects revenue
to top out at more than $30 million with 100 employees. Massie credits a culture of teamwork and camaraderie for the direct
marketing company’s turnaround the 10 employees Massie had at the time of the crisis were willing to miss paychecks and
do whatever they could to turn the company around. Smart Business spoke with Massie about how finding the right employees
to create a seasoned people stew can help you conquer any challenge.Find your way as a leader. I like thinking of myself as the head of the
family more than an autocrat. It’s not self-conscious. It’s who I am
as a person and how I have had to learn to function in this job
given my personality. (But) to say I use that style would intimate
that I have some self-conscious choice in that effort.When you grow at the rate that we’ve been growing, it’s almost
like there is something new every week that I’ve got to learn, or
some new hat that I’ve got to find and make fit my head.I certainly understand what drives people to be looking at manuals on leadership and different theories about it all. But if you put
somebody else’s clothes on, you’re always going to feel like a pretender. Everybody that’s conscientious wants to grow into a capable and respected leader. Sometimes, you’ve got to try those different outfits on and take a piece of it here and a piece of another
one there until you finally come to grips with who you are.If you use those things to avoid coming to grips with who you
are, it probably delays you becoming the leader you want to be.Be consistent. The role of the CEO is utterly critical, but I don’t think
the CEO can take him or herself that seriously. If there isn’t an entity, in this case the CEO, defining the objective and rallying the
troops with the resources that they need, you can’t win the battle.It is defining the objective, giving the resources, rallying the
troops, making the decisions that need to be made on any kind of
an enterprise and essentially facilitating the process so the troops
can be successful at what they are doing.I have to know where we’re going. I can’t decide today that we
have one objective and tomorrow that we have got another one
just because we had some opportunity come along that might
essentially double our growth or give us a 50 percent hit.Be adaptable. There has to be a consistent objective for the organization and a consistent rallying of the troops and provision of
everything that needs to be done.In a growth company, one of the big challenges is making sure
the financial resources are available, making sure that the kind of
new people being injected into the organization are right for the
people stew that you have brewing.One CEO could succeed in one setting and fail in another. In a
very rapidly growing company, every six months, you have got a
different people stew. Make sure the resources and the people
coming in to that stew are as appropriate as possible to the mix
and that they are the most capable, bright, competent people that
we can possibly afford to put in the mix.Don’t try to do it all. I have delegated all internal authority to the
president of the company. I remind myself every day that we have
one CEO and we have one president, and the two of them don’t
need to be doing each other’s jobs.If I was a CEO and I was reporting to an owner, it would be a
whole different environment. I can accept the investment of
resources that won’t pay off for three years, where a CEO that
reported to an owner or board may need to have a resource paying off in three months.I have the unique opportunity of being both owner and CEO
rather than being CEO and president. I can inject my own values,
my own personal long-term vision and have it coincide identically
with the vision for the company.If you’re anything above 10 or 15 people, and you’re both president and CEO, you have a fool for an owner.I don’t think one person can do both jobs in an organization that
is anything other than stagnant. You cannot be a visionary ambassador to the banking industry, to your main customers and to your
professional industry and effectively administrate all of the
dynamics and responsibilities of a growing organization internally.We could not, in any stretch of the imagination, have grown 100
percent a year for four years if I was president and CEO. One of
those two roles is going to fall on its face.Big companies divide these responsibilities out of the sheer practicality that if they don’t do it, they will not be able to report shareholder value back to Wall Street. What makes somebody think that
at a small level, they can be what Wall Street demands?Don’t believe the hype. If you have the right mix of folks together that
are better than you and that complement you and that both offset
your weaknesses and enhance your strengths, then you end up
looking pretty good. Just be careful not to drink the Kool-Aid
about how good you really are.A leader is not a leader in a vacuum. One person in one group of
people will have a completely different level of success as that
same person in another group of people because there are entirely different social and political dynamics that go on.Have a culture of collaboration that is held together with a chain
of command and accountability structure. People know what’s
expected of them, have the resources that they need, have the
respect they deserve and thoroughly enjoy this journey we’re on
together. That’s the goal.We don’t always make it that way. But if you aim at nothing, you
hit it every time.HOW TO REACH: Marketing Informatics, (877) 788-4440 or www.marketinginformatics.com Published in Indianapolis Tagged underSmart Leaders Read more... Wednesday, 28 February 2007 19:00 Trevor Turbidy When Trevor Turbidy was named president and CEO of Trico Marine Services Inc. in August 2005, it had been less than six
months since the company had emerged from bankruptcy. Today, those problems seem a distant memory as the company
whose 830 employees provide marine support to the oil and gas industries expected to post 2006 revenue of more than $230
million, well ahead of its 2005 revenue of $182 million. Turbidy says the key to the quick turnaround was the company’s ability
to identify employees who wanted to be part of the solution and fix the problems to get the company back on its feet. Smart
Business spoke with Turbidy about how to empower employees in challenging situations.Find employees with the right attitude. Building the right team was critical to our success. We relied heavily on those people who wanted
to increase their responsibility and brought in new people to
replace those that weren’t up to the challenge.The world is full of what I call idea assassins, dream killers or
naysayers. Having employees who have a can-do attitude made the
difference between success and failure. I’ve seen numerous examples of people who thought because
they were smart, they didn’t need to work as hard as their peers.
They would glide by on intelligence.What separates the good from the great sometimes appears like a
small difference. What it means to us is you may stay a few extra
hours to give the book one last read or look at the numbers one
more time. People didn’t settle for mediocrity. They didn’t settle for
good. They wanted to be perfect. No matter how bright you are, everybody needs to have a strong
work ethic and a positive attitude to drive change.Push people to achieve. There’s frequently people who literally just
didn’t have anything positive to say or would never have ideas on
how to improve things. They could tell you how things were
wrong, but they never came with a solution. They didn’t want to take ownership of the problem. They didn’t
want to help fix the company. There were a number of cases
where people had the opportunity to increase their responsibility
and chose to stay in their current job as long as the company
would let them. People who took on increasing responsibility got increasing
reward. Give people increased responsibility. Push people to
achieve more. You’re sometimes amazed by how much people can
actually do. We amazed ourselves with how much we could
accomplish in a short period of time. If you let people do what they have been doing forever and people get in their comfort zone, change is tough. People don’t like
change. The status quo is easy because it’s what you know.Take advantage of the market. We’d be fooling ourselves to think that
if we had restructured the company and the business environment
for our services had continued to turn down, that we’d be successful. We wouldn’t be. You need to have financial results. You need to have the ability to
empower your team to take advantage of what’s going on in an
improving market. We corrected the balance sheet and gave ourselves the ability to take advantage of an up market. Keep it fresh. Empower your team to look at other opportunities. We
want people to question each other, and we want people to challenge each other. It’s got to be based on forming a strong team,
actively communicating with that team and delegating responsibility and holding people accountable. What makes people excited about our organization is the ability
to impact change. We look for people who embrace positive
change. We allow them the running room to shape the company. Typically, it means either changing someone’s title, area of
responsibility or role. If people are in the same spot, doing the
same thing, interacting with the same people, they tend to think
the same. You’ve got to give people a new challenge, whether it’s a
different geographic area to focus on, a different role or more
responsibilities. That shakes them up, that gets them out of their
comfort zone, and they’ve got to re-energize for a new challenge.Be straight as an arrow. Put integrity and ethics first. We’ve seen the
rollout of Sarbanes-Oxley. We’ve seen what that occurred from. You’ve got to be ethical, honest and trustworthy ... with everyone in
all your constituencies you interact with. We’ve seen numerous examples of people who bent the rules or ignored the rules and were able
to convince others to do the same. You have to lead by example. You have to be straight as an arrow.
The world doesn’t expect anything less from people who are filling
management at companies, and they don’t tolerate it.If you’re a positive influence and you echo that through the organization, you find that people embrace that. People respect that. People
want to be at a company that is doing the right thing and competing
well. We tell our employees every time we have group meetings , ‘If we
can’t win doing it the right way, let’s not win.’ We don’t want to be on
the front page of The Wall Street Journal for something that is inappropriate. We’ll win the right way, or we won’t win. Admit mistakes. People like to think that people in senior positions
don’t make mistakes. That’s just not true. The key is you’ve got to
admit your mistakes and move on, whether it’s a business mistake
for an acquisition or whether it’s a mistake going in a different
direction for your business or whether it’s a hiring mistake. Admit
you were going in the wrong direction, salvage what you can, and
move on and fix it. We’ve hired people that we thought had the right skill set, excellent
industry experience, but they didn’t mesh in our organization. They
weren’t going to be successful, and we weren’t going to be successful with them. You need to move on. Waiting generally doesn’t help. There never
appears to be a good time. You always worry about it being disruptive to the organization or about the fallout from doing something quickly. If there is any fallout, it’s generally positive. What you saw was
the exact same thing the organization saw, and the people they
worked under saw. Make those changes, move on and then

recruiters.A company in the business of franchising
need not look any further than its own
franchisees for a great way to expand, says Tom Johnston, president and CEO of
SearchPath International.“The best salesperson you can have for a
company is somebody who has already come
in, looked at what you’re doing, decided to
move forward and purchased a franchise,”
Johnston says. “That’s helped us grow the
company quickly, hit the market with a lot of
credibility, and it’s helped us keep our corporate overhead down because our franchisees
are also our sales force.”The key to making a franchise referral program work is ensuring that the existing franchisees have the right tools to identify and
recruit new franchisees who will help the
company continue to grow.“The right way to do this is not to go out and
say, ‘Hey, do you want to buy a franchise?’”
Johnston says. “We follow a very traditional
recruitment process.”Johnston says that as a talent acquisition
professional services firm, SearchPath is very
familiar with recruiting. But the steps to
acquiring talent apply to any type of franchising organization.“The first thing you normally do is you talk
to them and find out where they are in their
life,” Johnston says. “What are the things that
are important to them? What, ultimately, are
they trying to get to? The proverbial question
I always ask is, ‘Where do you want to be
three to five years from now?’”Johnston says it comes down to “being able
to truly identify the needs, both emotionally
and financially, from a career point of view.”Recruiting is obviously a vital part of a franchise referral program, Johnston says. But
one mistake companies often make in developing a program is building it around a territorial concept.“The reason why many of the franchises
were built on territory when they first started
doing business had nothing to do with anything other than long-distance [phone] rates,”
Johnston says. With “the cost of doing business back in 1975, when you were doing
recruiting, you wouldn’t allow anybody to
make long-distance phone calls because they
were two or three dollars a minute. You did
all your business locally.”With advances in technology and with the
world becoming smaller every day, territorial
boundaries should no longer be an obstacle to growth, Johnston says.“Unless you are fortunate enough to get a
very large territory in a desirable area, I think
you run into a problem,” Johnston says. “It’s
creating restrictions that make it almost a
nonincentive.”One enticement that encourages franchisees to be recruiters is to make them master franchisees, meaning that they get a percentage of the franchise fees and royalties for
bringing in new people rather than paying
that to someone else.“They get short-term and long-term revenue,” Johnston says. “We look at the opportunity to create these master franchisees,
where they have a vested interest in helping
the people that they bring in to be successful.
We build that in as part of our support network.”Franchise referral programs can be “very,
very aggressive,” Johnston says, but they can
also be very simple.“Even if it’s just, ‘Hey, if you run across
someone who you think would be a good
referral, send them on in and we’ll send you a
gift certificate, or we’ll give you a couple thousand bucks,’ it can’t hurt,” he says. “The people that have bought in to your organization
that are happy and doing well, they are your
best salespeople.”HOW TO REACH: SearchPath International, (216) 589-0431 or www.searchpath.com Published in Cleveland Tagged underSales and Marketing Read more... Wednesday, 31 January 2007 19:00 Alex Lukianov A high degree of desire and dedication to one’s personal interests can translate very well in the workplace, says Alex Lukianov,
chairman and CEO of NuVasive Inc. And that commitment is critical in the fast-paced world of developing and marketing products
for spinal surgeons. NuVasive’s ability to bring in employees who can move fast and get things done quickly was a key factor in
achieving $62 million in revenue for 2005 with about 400 employees. Smart Business spoke with Lukianov about the relationship
between speed and success.Set a clear standard. A lot of people talk about culture, but I think it’s something we really try to deliver on here. That has to do with establishing an environment for ‘A’ players to succeed.You have to have a very clearly understood message and a very clearly understood corporate mission of where the company is going.
You have to explain what the values are, and everybody has to be clear on what those look like.What we are most clear about at our company has to do with absolute responsiveness at cheetah speed. Everybody in this company
is completely clear on what that means.One of the most important values that we have as a company is serving our customers as quickly as we possibly can. We sell to hospitals, but we market to spine surgeons. Surgeons want things done very quickly. It’s immediate just because of the nature of their business.We have a customized cheetah that we’ve put together with the NuVasive symbol on it. Everybody is very clear about what absolute
responsiveness means. We rally around that particular emblem and visual. There isn’t anybody who is not clear about that.Clearly communicate the company’s vision. Focus the team on execution and on not getting pulled off the ball. I think that’s the biggest challenge for any CEO, to make sure the team is always spending most of their time on the key objectives.You do it by having frequent meetings with the team. Reinforce that and make people very aware of where they are and where the
company is at. You do that through dashboard mechanisms to provide people with feedback, as well as having more casual conversation about it in group settings.Burn speed into the culture. Everybody in the company has individual performance measurements that tie in to a balanced scorecard that
we use. ... What are the company’s goals, what are the key measurements of those goals, and how do they individually contribute and
how will they be measured by those goals?The underlying theme is speed. Everything is speed. How fast can you get it done, how fast can you get a new product to the market,
and how quickly can you get back to the customer?The whole culture and company is geared for that. But it’s not enough to just have symbols. It has to be substantive. What makes it
substantive are the very real measures that are implemented by everyone.Be selective in who you hire. I don’t think that this is a place that works well for a lot of people unless they have the exact same ideas about
performance. If they don’t have the same standards, they are not going to do well here, and they are not going to enjoy it.What I’ve seen is we have a low turnover rate. We try to hire like-minded people that are really into having an environment that allows
them to flourish and to achieve to maximum results.You’ve got people that naturally, not only professionally but personally, stretch themselves. We’ve got people here that do triathlons
and people that do marathons. These people are used to stretching themselves in everything that they do.Those are the kind of people I want to see at the company. I don’t want to see people that don’t fit that mold of top performance. That’s
what it will take for us long-term to continue to deliver on the top line and the bottom line.Make work fun and rewarding. We certainly work hard, but we also take time to celebrate. At the end of the day, people want an environment that is very rich when it comes to their abilities to grow... That’s what nourishes people.Everybody needs to understand and be a part of the vision and the purpose of the company. If they understand that and if they buy in,
they are going to perform.If they don’t understand those things, or they don’t buy in, it’s not going to make sense. You can implement any management program
you want.You can jump up and down all you want. But if, at the end of the day, people don’t understand the mission and where you’re going and
why you are doing those things, it doesn’t come together.Keep your ear to the ground. If need be, we can turn on a dime. Concurrently, we have a lot of experience in this marketplace, so we have
a lot of ears to the ground. We’ve also attracted other executives and other managers to the company that also have experience in the
spine arena.We have about 500 surgeons a year coming to San Diego for training in our operating rooms. Apart from training the surgeons on our
very unique techniques, it gives us an opportunity to speak with customers on an ongoing basis and have our finger on the pulse. It comes
down to sound strategy and execution, and if you have to make an adjustment, you do.Watch for changes. The key to recognizing changes is that you are constantly looking for them. You have to have a very active process of
business development and looking at deals. I have our chief operating officer and our VP of research and development constantly looking at deals, constantly looking at companies and trying to understand potential trends and new opportunities.HOW TO REACH: NuVasive Inc, (800) 455-1476 or www.nuvasive.com Published in National Tagged underSmart LeadersHealth & Medical Read more... Wednesday, 31 January 2007 19:00 Share the wealth Even the most altruistic employees want to be a part of their employers’ success when the profits begin to roll in, says Mingo Lee.“It’s easier said than done when you’re the owner to say, ‘Don’t worry, we’re debt-free. We’re putting everything back into the company so we can keep growing healthy,’” says Lee, co-founder and CEO of Wahoo’s Fish Taco. “You need to realize the difference between
your sweat equity and the things you are gaining from this as an owner, and the guy who doesn’t have any shares in the company. You’ve
got to gain an appreciation for where they are.”So Lee began to look at debt financing as another option for expansion. At the same time, he enhanced compensation packages, offered
more health insurance and began to offer profit-sharing plans.Now, with more than 600 employees at more than 40 locations, the chain of restaurants which offers a mix of Mexican/Brazilian/Asian
cuisine has grown from $34.6 million in 2004 to more than $40 million in 2006.Smart Business spoke with Lee about the importance of relying on instinct in successfully growing a business.Q: What skills must a good CEO have? Be compassionate and an understanding leader, somebody who has grown up in the business who has touched every part of the business and really understands and values each one of the employees.Be decisive. Once you start waffling at the top, I think that really confuses not only your management team, but it just trickles down.From week to week or month to month, if the direction of the company is changing or even simple operational things are changing, I
think that sends a gray message to your crew. All that our good employees want to do is to know what the expectations are and then
execute. If you can’t set those expectations and you’re always changing them, it leaves everybody in a state of confusion.Our management style is very hands-on. It’s to show, demonstrate, teach and re-teach. From top to bottom, there is no wearing a suit
and tie at Wahoo’s. You’re getting in the fire right alongside your teammates and employees.Q: How can a lack of direction hinder growth? It is the quickest way to have everybody wandering about aimlessly. If you’re not able to follow up on the projects that you delegate,
you might as well not even delegate them to begin with. Nobody will have a measuring stick to see that they have arrived and achieved
what the expectations were.Ultimately, they will get to the end of the project and move on to the next, and conceivably, they’ve not even done that right. But they’ve
kept on going because nobody has done the follow-up.We’re always here and we do care about our company and we want to be available to everyone. It’s probably not the most crucial aspect
of our management style, but I do believe that keeps our staff engaged.Q: How do you deal with mistakes? It’s like seeing your child gain greater and greater independence and feeling that yes, you’ve given them all the tools to succeed, and
now you’ve got to step back and let them make some mistakes.You can’t be there for every decision, nor do you want to be there for every decision. I try to communicate that to my staff.Before, you might have asked me for the answer; now, I want you to come to me with a couple of different solutions in mind and let’s work
through how you came up with those. If you make a mistake and it’s serious enough, we’ll figure a way out of it.Ultimately, if we make a couple of mistakes along the way, we’re going to learn from them, and next time, you’ll be making decisions.
I’m not saying I always make the right decisions, but you’ll be making decisions in the future in the same style or direction that I would
have made them, and we’ll all feel better.Q: How do you earn loyalty from your employees? You can create an equity program, but shy of creating some type of ownership program for your people, you need to appreciate that
they need to take care of their families and their needs.There is a cap that you will be able to pay everybody. But you should realize that some of the things you feel good about in being debt-free and plowing everything into the company are not necessarily satisfying the emotional needs of your management team in making
them feel that they’ve got some future security here.You can sit and go for a longer-term view and build equity, hoping maybe for some sort of exit strategy somewhere down the road. That
same situation does not exist for your management team unless you go the way of creating some type of ownership.HOW TO REACH: Wahoo’s Fish Taco, (949) 222-0670 or www.wahoos.com Published in Orange County Tagged underFast LaneFood & Beverage Read more... Wednesday, 31 January 2007 19:00 Healthy returns Dennis Casey knew that his company was at a crossroads. It was May 2005, and Casey had just been named president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana. The company, with 700
employees and annual revenue of more than $1 billion, was six months away from embarking on a complete change of its core operating system.This wasn’t the kind of change that could be conveyed in an e-mail, a note tacked to the bulletin board next to the water cooler or at a morning staff meeting in the conference room.This change was too big for that.Once implemented, it would put the company in a better position to handle the increased workload in the midst of the mergers and acquisitions that have made it part of WellPoint Inc., the
largest health insurer in the country.
“If we don’t make this change now, we are not going to be positioned competitively in the marketplace,” Casey says.The challenge Casey faced was figuring out how to convey that message to his employees. “It takes time to change the direction of an organization, and it takes time to create your vision within your organization,” Casey says. “You have to be able to work through people to achieve
success.”Using a comprehensive plan of open dialogue, inclusion and collaboration, Anthem was able to overhaul its core operating system while continuing its pace of rapid growth. Since 2000, it has
grown from 450,000 group members to 800,000.
“If we were not delivering on our promises to our customers and to our providers and to our brokers, we would not have seen the growth,” Casey says.Opening a dialogue After holding a variety of senior management positions over the years with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana, Casey knew how important the system conversion was to the company’s future.Making it work rested with his ability to develop a strategy that would convince employees of its importance and get them enthused about the benefits of the new system. “The real challenge is, how do you drive that home with people who, day-to-day, are accustomed to working on one system?” Casey says. “They are very good at it and they were providing a
good level of service to our client. You go to them and say, ‘Guess what? We’re going to change everything you look at every day.’ “It was really challenging the folks to say [to them], ‘Hey, this is really important to our company long term and to our customers. Therefore, it should be important to you. We need your help to
get this done.’”One advantage Casey has in implementing new strategies is the familiarity his tenured employees have with change through the numerous mergers and acquisitions that eventually led to the
formation in 2004 of WellPoint Inc., of which Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana is a subsidiary.
“Our folks are sitting here today and understand where the organization is going,” Casey says. “The next thing you know, we have another merger acquisition on the table. So immediately, the
question comes up, ‘What does this mean to me?’
“There is less panic and fear and concern now around our growth because people are more accustomed to change. They accept change, see it as a challenge and they look for new opportunities. It’s more of a positive challenge than a threat.”But this particular plan was about a lot more than just asking his employees to take one for the team.He wanted them to know that once they got past their initial uneasiness about the system conversion, it would also make it easier for them to do their jobs. “It was kind of like if you are a right-handed hitter and I’m going to teach you how to switch-hit,” Casey says. “You know how to hit, but you’ve just never seen the ball coming from the other
side of the plate. It’s that kind of environment, and there is a natural hesitancy to learn the new ways. “The key was communication and involvement. We had a lot of our staff folks that do the work day in and day out in terms of answering our phones and communicating with our customers
involved in the design phase of our new system. We basically brought a core system to them and said, ‘This is how this works. What changes do you need to make it even better for what you do?’”
Casey says once that was done, training began in earnest for virtually every one of the 700 employees. The message was also conveyed through simple correspondence from one employee to
another, where it became clear that the effort had paid off. “They say, ‘Hey, it’s a change, but you’re really going to like it when you get used to it.’ If they have that level of confidence and respect for the leadership of the company, they are going to step
up and want to be part of that,” he says. “In order to do that, they’ve got to believe that the management of this organization understands their needs as well as our customer needs, cares about both, balances the needs of both and
responds to that. The core element is two-way trust.”With the new system now in place, Casey says efficiency, speed and accuracy have all increased, along with growth in Anthem’s customer base. “I bill and credit our success to our people,” Casey says. “The real differentiator becomes your ability to harness the energy and brilliance of other people and do that better than your competitors do.”Inclusion and collaboration Casey’s success in changing over the company’s core operating system illustrates that developing a strategy is never as easy as just sitting in a room one day and drawing up a plan.
It must include contingency plans that address changes that may occur as the strategy is put into place. “There really aren’t a lot of people that are just smart enough to absolutely predict the future every time,” Casey says. “So you better be ready to change, and you need to be flexible.”And before trust can be developed between employees and management, there must be trust among members of the management team.Casey says a good CEO recognizes the importance of gathering input from other senior leaders in the company, even if that input does not exactly match the view of the CEO. “I’m a very aggressive, very competitive person,” he says. “And I really enjoy having people around me that will challenge me. Our unspoken rules around the planning table are very simple. First
of all, we’re a team. I believe, and I know that my people know that I believe, that our best solutions will come from the collective minds of the people in that room. “Often, I will shape a discussion and throw something out on the table and say, ‘Hey, I think we might want to consider this or that.’ But the end result is always better than what I put on the
table or what any member of the team puts on the table.”The key is to have leaders in your company with whom you are willing to place your trust and confidence. “You have to have strong people around, and you can’t be threatened by that,” Casey says. “If somebody comes back at me and says, ‘Dennis, I think you’re all wet on this one. You’re
missing a really critical point,’ then I think you need to pay heed and attention. “Some people use a power response, saying, ‘Too bad. This is where we’re going. Get on the bus.’ Personally, I don’t believe that. If one of them is questioning something that I put on the table
or something one of their peers put on the table, I have an inherent trust and belief that they are trying to make things better and they truly believe there is another path to go down.”Casey realized the benefits of a more collaborative style of leadership in college. “You’d have a study group, and five people would present a paper,” Casey says. “I may have been a little egocentric in those days because I basically said, ‘I can’t really trust my future and my
grades in these people’s hands because I don’t know them.’”As he moved into the business world, Casey learned that guiding a company by yourself does not work nearly as well as writing your own research paper. “My responsibilities started to expand, and all of a sudden, I realized that you can’t do it all yourself. The definition of management is getting things done through other people. If you could do
everything yourself, you wouldn’t need the four or five or 50 people you have on your staff. By developing that skill of delegation, I’m that much more effective.”The team approach has served Casey well. But once a consensus is reached on how to move forward, he expects the group to march in lockstep to execute the plan. “Once that team makes a decision, you owe it to the team to support that outcome,” he says. “One thing I do not tolerate is people walking away from a key decision in our organization and saying, ‘Well, that’s what they decided. I didn’t think it was a good idea.’ “If things are mandated from the top down and everybody is told what to do, I assume people might disagree with the outcome. If people have the ability and the right to participate in the development of the outcome, you have a responsibility once that decision is made to work very hard to execute it on behalf of your team.”Success breeds success Once everyone is on the same page with a new strategy, most companies get a boost from the simple fact that people like to be part of something successful. “There are not a lot of folks that really want to go to work and just sit in a corner by themselves all day long,” Casey says. “Most people, regardless of personality, enjoy success, and they want
to be part of a successful team.”One of the greatest rewards of being an executive is watching people step up to a challenge. “They always respond better than you imagined if they trust you and they trust your leadership,” Casey says. “Nothing breeds success like success. People get involved and start getting recognition for the work that they are putting in. Those are incredible motivators. People get in that frame of reference and say, ‘Wow, what’s the next big challenge?’”Casey also believes that a successful CEO is only as good as the family he or she has standing by them. He and his wife of 32 years, Ginny, have three children. “As the kids grow older, they really ask very insightful questions that really cause me to think about who I am,” Casey says. “Business can be very challenging and very trying. That is where that
family piece centers you, no matter how crazy things get around here or how difficult the challenges are.” HOW TO REACH: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana, www.anthem.com or www.wellpoint.com Published in Indianapolis Tagged underCover Story Read more... Sunday, 31 December 2006 19:00 Tony Grijalva In 2001, Tony Grijalva was facing a pivotal decision that could make or break the future of G&A Partners. He could keep trying to build a division that his company had put a lot of time and effort into, or dissolve the model and focus entirely on a plan that he believed could really drive revenue growth. Grijalva, the company’s chairman and CEO since its inception in 1995, decided to go with his instincts. He turned his eye toward becoming a professional employer organization, which provides clients with administrative, human resource and and risk management services. The move paid off. G&A took in an estimated $215 million in revenue in 2006 and has 110 corporate employees. Smart Business spoke with Grijalva about doing the right thing and why work ethic is more important than skills. Find the right people. Any business is driven by people, and we always try to search, identify and keep good employees. But it takes awhile to refine your internal processes in order to accomplish that. You always look for the experience, but more than that, we look for certain attributes like personality and work ethic. We feel that the actual job can be taught, but work ethic is a key. They don’t require supervision, they have initiative and they have the drive to do the right thing at all times. It’s also extremely critical to go around, say hello to people and talk about their daily tasks. Give them the feeling that you care. It can be about work, but it can also be about their feelings and their personal lives. Look for stability. It’s no longer the old model where someone will stay with the same company for 20 years. You expect people to move around, and you expect people to have a broader experience. But by the same token, I don’t want to see people that move around every six months or every year. We like to see people with three, four or five years’ experience at various jobs. That tells me that whether it was good or bad, they had the perseverance and dedication to do what they were trained to do. Follow your heart. I think people are born leaders. But I also think there can be a deliberate effort to do the right thing so that people want to follow. One of the definitions of leadership is that people want to follow you. The key component is integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. When you have that, people tend to follow your steps. They want to emulate you and they want to listen to you. Some people are born with that quality. Others have to work hard at it. We live in a capitalistic society, so the traps are always there not to do the right thing. Tell yourself what the principled thing to do is. Keep telling yourself that your principles are important. At the end of the day, if you are principled, you’re going to prevail. Your enemies are going to respect you for it, and your friends are going to like you even more. Don’t be afraid to grow. For a small business that grows beyond small and starts moving to the middle market, you have to realize that you are in the middle market. You need to spend money and do certain things which are different from what they were when you started. Understand your own success and realize you are in a different league. You are a little bigger and you can do things a little differently. Have a good layer of middle management, which is difficult because middle management and good management require money. But you have to make the decision: Do I invest in people in order to grow even more, or do I stay where I am and become content with that? Business is very dynamic, and things change constantly, either because of technology or new ideas. You have to constantly be looking for ways to reinvent yourself or re-engineer your processes to do better things and to diversify. That’s a constant challenge if you want to grow and compete. Look at your industry and see the trends and understand that you want to be on the leading edge. If you don’t, it will be good for the short term, but it won’t continue. You have to be constantly vigilant. Keep employees engaged. Evaluation is the only way you can measure where employees are. It’s critical that we align the evaluation with the job description to make sure that things are going the way you intend them to go. We try to do that every six months. It keeps them focused on results. Make sure you keep them engaged by sharing responsibilities, empowering them to make decisions and by delegating. Sometimes, it is trial and error. As the employee develops, you start small. As they earn your trust, you keep giving them more. Focus on being the best, and success will follow. For me, success would be being one of the best employers in town. To know that you created something that people brought to the next level, and your employees and families are well taken care of. Everything else seems to follow that. Personal success and contentment seem to be a consequence of that. As long as you give, the receiving end will always be there. Humility is important in order to know your limitations. Understand your weaknesses so that you can seek the right help, and partner with other people that are smarter than you so your joint resources can accomplish something. Realize that everybody makes mistakes. You want to foster the notion that mistakes are OK and not be so severe or critical of the mistake, unless it happens frequently. You can learn from those mistakes and strive not to do it again. You can have an open-door policy where consequences do exist, but candor is never penalized. Understand that every failure is an opportunity to learn. You try to analyze the reason why things fail and dissect the problem in order to understand it. If you don’t, chances are you’ll do the same thing again. Take it in and move on to the next item and try to do it right.

Franchises Businesses Continue To Outperform Economy
[ 0 ] Dec. 3, 2012 | SBO Editor The franchise industry continues to outperform the overall economy, according to the latest Franchise Business Index (FBI), which showed an increase of 0.6 percent, erasing declines of 0.3 percent in each of the previous two months. A dip in the unemployment rate due to 368,000 people dropping-out of the workforce, and a rise in the number of self-employed in the economy contributed most to the gain in the index. The small business optimism index also rebounded after three consecutive months of decline, and the composite indicator of employment in franchise-intensive industries continued to make a positive contribution to the index.
“Franchises remain a bright spot in the economy, consistently growing and creating jobs despite inaction by Congress on tax extenders or addressing the impending fiscal cliff. A short-term deal that prevents the fiscal cliff at the end of the year would serve as a critical bridge and provide some much-needed certainty, until lawmakers in the next Congress can consider a comprehensive overhaul of the tax system, so extending the tax rates would be a great place to start,” said IFA President & CEO Steve Caldeira. “The closer we get to the fiscal cliff, the less confidence both prospective and existing franchisees will have about investing in franchise businesses.”
Designed to provide more-timely tracking of the growing role of franchise businesses in the U.S. economy, the Franchise Business Index was developed by IHS Global Insight on behalf of the IFA Educational Foundation. The FBI combines indicators of growth in the industries where franchising is most prevalent and measures the general economic environment for franchising.
Among other components of the index, consumer spending in franchise-intensive categories of goods and services increased marginally, and the small business credit conditions component showed no change. The FBI was up 2.0 percent on a year over year basis in August.
“Although the growth of franchise business sales continues to be hampered by weakness in consumer spending, the franchise sector continues to slightly outperform the economy as a whole in growth of employment and the number of business establishments,” said IHS Global Insight Senior Economist James Gillula.
New franchise business formation for 2012 is down from previous forecasts and job creation remains flat amid uncertainty about the impending fiscal cliff, anticipated higher taxes and lack of credit , according to a third quarter update of IFA’s 2012 economic forecast released this month.
According to IFA’s updated 2012 forecast, prepared by IHS Global Insight:
The number of franchise establishments in the United States will increase by 1.5 % in 2012 (down from the initial forecast of 1.9 % growth), to 747,069 or 10,955 new businesses. This growth compares to a decline of 3,984 establishments in 2011 and is the first time since 2008 the industry will add new units.
Since 2008, the industry lost more than 23,000 establishments due to the recession and its lingering effects on consumer confidence, the housing market, credit access, and jobs.
Direct employment in franchise establishments will increase by 2.1% in 2012, from 7.9 million to 8.1 million, or 167,000 new jobs. This growth compares to 150,000 new jobs in 2011. The rate of job growth compares favorably to the overall private sector, with an estimate of only 1.8 % in 2012.
The economic output of franchise establishments has been revised slightly downward to show a 5.2% increase in 2012 (down from the midyear forecast of 5.3%). Output of the franchising industry will increase by $39 billion in 2012 compared to a $35 billion gain in 2011.

"Zweck der
Menschheit ist kein anderer als die
Ausbildung der Kr�fte des Menschen, Fortschreitung." Friedrich Schiller A Vision for the Future of HumanityOctober 7, 2012
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
The following address was delivered by Helga Zepp-LaRouche to the Oct. 7 closing plenary of the World Public Forum Dialogue of Civilizations, Oct. 4-7, 2012 in Rhodes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, There were many important issues discussed during the last days, but I agree with Professor Dallmayr, that we cannot conclude this conference without focusing again on the reality that we, as a civilization are on the verge of thermonuclear war. The possibility of a military attack on Iran, the escalation of the situation between Syria and Turkey, the deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific close to these contested islands, and Hillary Clinton's statement that any attack on these islands would bring the U.S.-Japan military treaty into play, the agreement of the Spanish government to participate in the NATO anti-missile defense shield, all of these developments demonstrate that we are in mortal danger. During the last weeks, the existential danger in which the human species now finds itself has become clear for all thinking people. The almost continuous policy of "regime change," which after the collapse of the Soviet Union, "bombed Iraq back to the stone age," plunged Libya into anarchy, turned Afghanistan into a nightmare, and victimized the secular state of Syria with foreign intervention and religious warfare, in the case of military operations against Iran, could lead to an uncontrollable worldwide wildfire. The Near and Middle East threatens to become a new Balkans, in which existing alliances like those before World War I lead to a conflagration. The unthinkable could occur, that Mutual Assured Destruction no longer functions as a deterrent, but becomes the consequence of a war in which thermonuclear weapons are deployed, leading to the extinction of the human race. Not at some possible time - but within the next weeks. The dynamic which is driving the war danger, is accentuated by the accelerating collapse of the transatlantic financial system. Bernanke's euphemistically named "quantitative easing III" liquidity expansion is just as hyperinflationary as Mario Draghi's "whatever it takes," unlimited purchase of state bonds through the European Central Bank. Hyperinflationary money printing, in connection with brutal austerity - in the tradition of Reichschancellor Br�ning - against the population and real economy has already had a life shortening effect upon millions of people in Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal and threatens to plunge Europe into a firestorm of social chaos. Humanity is in the process of crashing into a brick wall at full speed. The question which we urgently must answer is whether the human species, confronted with its own self-destruction, is intelligent enough to change course in time, from the presently ruinous paradigm of attempting the consolidation of a world empire and the feigned legitimation for resolution of geopolitical conflicts by means of war, and replacing it with another, which is viable for humanity? To solve this problem, we have to address an epistomological problem: We must repudiate the relics of the methods of thinking that are anchored in the oligarchical system, including deductive, positivist, empiricist, monetarist or linear statistic projection concepts expressing a bad infinity, as they belong to a worldview that has nothing to do with the laws of the real physical universe, nor the creativity of human reason. Instead we must craft with the same creativity and love of humanity, as that of Nicholas of Cusa, Johannes Kepler, Gottfried Leibniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Friedrich Schiller, Vladimir Vernadsky, or Albert Einstein, to name but a few, a vision of a better future for mankind, which of course can only be realized only when enough forces unite themselves for this good cause. Such a vision can never be the result of Aristotelian thinking, or become a "consensus" of solutions for many small side issues, i.e., thinking from "below," but comes from thinking "from above." Nicholas of Cusa had, with his method of Coincidentia Oppositorum, the Coinicidence of Opposites, whereby the One has a higher order of power than the Many, laid the cornerstone on which not only the Priniciple of the Peace of Wesphalia and International Law were built, but also a universal method of problem and conflict solving, which is still valid today. This means we must begin with the definition of the common aims of mankind. What could be more important than the ontological question of "esse," being, that we are able to secure the prolonged sustainable existence of the human species? By virtue of the anti-entropic lawfulness of the physical universe, the enduring existence of humanity requires a constant rise in the potential relative population density and a continually expanding energy flux density in production processes. If we want to find a solution to the twofold existential threat to mankind, the danger of thermonuclear world war and the systemic economic crisis, then the new paradigm must bring itself into cohesion with the order of creation. We need a plan for peace for the 21st century, a vision, which simultaneously inspires the imagination of hopes of man. Despite having all the scientific and technological means at hand to guarantee humane conditions of life, while there are over 1 billion people subject to hunger and malnourishment, while 25,000 children - a small city - die daily from hunger, while 3 billion live in poverty and are denied their human rights, is it not then our sacred duty to actually deploy those means? We need a large-scale development strategy, building on the ideas of the United Nations Development Decades of the 1950s and '60s, rejecting completely the paradigm change of the past 40-50 years as the wrong track, and thus reviving the idea of "Peace Through Development." Such a vision could be the implemention of the World Land-Bridge with its many great projects like NAWAPA, the tunnel under the Bering Strait, the development of the Artic, expansion of the Eurasian Land-Bridge, above all into the Near and Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent, including linking Africa to the World Land-Bridge through tunnels, under the Strait of Gilbratar linking Spain and Morocco, and also between Sicily and Tunisia. There are two large regions of this planet where lack of development cries for vengeance, one being the African continent, that was never allowed to recuperate from the centuries-long colonial exploitation; and the second being the Near and Middle East, which are currently way behind their golden periods, when Baghdad was the center of world culture, or when Pamyra Tadmur in Syria was a pearl on the ancient Silk Road. We must put on the agenda for discussion a vision for an economic and cultural Renaissance for these regions, representing an element of reason at a higher level than the local, ethnic, and historic conflicts. Were the representatives of a group of large nations to bring such a message to the world community, showing that in fact, there is a real alternative that would make possible the survival of all people on this planet, then that element of hope could be brought into the debate, which is presently completely lacking. The same kind of thinking using the standpoint of Coincidentia Oppositorum, thinking from "above," as applied to overcoming the underdevelopment on Earth with the World Land-Bridge, we also need for defense from the dangers to all of us on the planet which come from space. Russia, with its project for Strategic Defense of the Earth, SDE, has made a proposal for the cooperation of Russia and the U.S.A., and potentially more countries, for joint missile defense and the protection of Earth from asteroid and comet impact, which can replace the current geopolitical confrontation and the existential threat of its escalation. The SDE project is in the tradition of the SDI, the Strategic Defense Initiative, the proposal for overcoming the nuclear threat and division of the world into military blocs, which my husband Lyndon LaRouche developed over 30 years ago and which President Ronald Reagan made the official policy of the American government in 1983. The SDE project, which includes early warning systems for manmade and natural catastrophes, as well as cooperation in manned space flight, is the absolutely necessary economic science driver that the crisis-ridden world economy needs in order to achieve higher levels of productivity and create the new scientific and technological capacities that are also needed for the solution to the problems on Earth. Joint manned space travel is the necessary next step for the evolution of mankind, and with this "Extraterrestial Imperative," as called for by renowned scientist and rocket engineer Krafft A. Ehricke, mankind can now enter into an age of adulthood, leaving behind itself, like childhood diseases, the solving of conflicts through war. If we promptly succeed in unifying ourselves around the vision of achieving the common aims of mankind, and consciously present this perspective as a war-avoidance strategy, then it can inspire the imagination of the younger generation, which is now threatened worldwide by mass unemployment and desperate hopelessness. If the young people develop the same passion and elevated concepts as the pioneers of space travel once had, who now are encouraged with the instruments which the Mars rover Curiosity is deploying, and which has now "shifted the sense experience of Man," admittedly, with a 14-minute delay, the world has entered a new phase space; if young people develop that passion, then we have won. In the next phase of mankind, man will think like scientists and the composers of great works of Classical art. We either act now, in this moment of existential danger, on the common aims of mankind, or we will not exist. Mrs. Helga Zepp-LaRouche is President of the international Schiller Institute.

War Update
April 8th, 2003, 12:00pm | KPCC
The Battle for Baghdad continues, with US forces making forays into the heart of the city. Hal Kempfer, a military analyst for ABC 7 News and a Reserve Marine Lt. Colonel, joins host Larry Mantle to give an update.
Forming An Interim Government In Iraq
President Bush and Tony Blair are discussing the future of Iraq at a summit in Belfast today. What will happen after Saddam Hussein's regime is gone? Dr. Ahmed Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Congress, just touched down near Nasiriyah, along with a force of Iraqi soldiers. As events progress in Baghdad, an interim government for Iraq must get ready to stabilize the country. Organized at the London Conference in December, the interim government is composed of Iraqis from all ethnic groups--Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, Chaldeans, and more. It includes Iraqis who live in Iraq, although it is composed mainly of exiles. The body will have to write a constitution within two years and hold democratic elections. Experts Basam Al-Husseini, spokesman for Iraqi-American Council, engineer, recruited by the Dept. of Defense to help re-build Iraq, and Dr. Lewis Snider, Associate Professor of Political Science at the School of Politics and Economics at Claremont Graduate University join host Larry Mantle to discuss an Iraqi interim government.
The limited liability joint stock company is a marvel of the world economy, a historical force to rival religion, monarchies and even states. Adrian Wooldridge, Washington correspondent for The Economist and author of The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea, joins Larry to explore the colorful birth and maturation of the company and its social and cultural consequences.

/ SECTION 1. Article 5, Chapter 1, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 59-1-490. The State Board of Education, the South Carolina Department of Education, the Education Oversight Committee, and all other agencies and political subdivisions of the State are prohibited from providing any individual student data or any data that may be used to identify individual students to the United States Department of Education, any other agency of the federal government, or any third party without permission expressly provided for by the General Assembly through a joint resolution."
SECTION 2. Article 3, Chapter 18, Title 59 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 59-18-355. (A)(1) A revision to a state content standard recommended pursuant to Section 59-18-350(A), as well as a new standard or a change in a current standard that the State Board of Education otherwise considers for approval as an accountability measure, may not be adopted and implemented without the:
(a) advice and consent of the Education Oversight Committee; and
(b) approval by a Joint Resolution of the General Assembly.
(2) General Assembly approval required by item (1)(b) does not apply to a revision recommended pursuant to Section 59-18-350(A), other approval of a new standard, and other changes to an old standard if the revision, new standard, or changed standard is developed by the State Department of Education.
(B) A revision to an assessment recommended pursuant to Section 59-18-350(A), as well as a new assessment or a change in a current assessment that the State Board of Education otherwise considers for approval as an accountability measure, may not be adopted and implemented without the advice and consent of the Education Oversight Committee.
(C) Upon initiating a change to an existing standard, including a cyclical review, the Education Oversight Committee and the Department of Education shall provide notice of their plans and intent to the General Assembly and the Governor.

Markkula Center to Receive $500,000 to Promote Internet-Privacy and Ethics Education
Thursday, Jun. 2, 2011
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 2, 2011-- Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics will receive $500,000 to promote Internet-privacy and ethics education, as part of a class-action settlement between Internet consumers and Google. The 24-year-old Markkula Center was chosen by presiding Judge James Ware as one of 14 groups to receive the funds, as part of the settlement’s goal of advancing the cause of Internet-privacy education.
The judge noted that Markkula, which was not a party to the class action, “is dedicated to research and dialogue on issues of practical ethics,” and “has included Internet privacy issues as one of the subjects it addresses, and is committed to expanding this program.”
The lawsuit centered on privacy concerns, all of which have since been resolved, related to Google’s Buzz social-network product.
“The Markkula Center is pleased that Judge Ware has recognized the value of our programs to help establish best ethical practices for the digital age,” said Kirk O. Hanson, executive director of the Center. The Markkula Center expects to use the funds for privacy and ethics education, such as:
*Creating a model curriculum for undergraduate students on Internet privacy, which would be promoted and made available to faculty across the country free of charge. *Developing a website aimed at all Internet users which identifies and discusses choices users must make regarding their own privacy online. *Continuing to host events focused on the Internet and ethics for Silicon Valley audiences, which will be available online as articles, podcasts or videos.
Other groups receiving funds in the $8.5 million settlement include organizations or centers from:
• Electronic Frontier Foundation ($1 million) • The American Civil Liberties Union ($700,000)
• Berkeley Center for Law and Technology ($500,000)
• Harvard University ($500,000) • Center for Democracy & Technology ($500,000)
• Stanford University ($500,000) • Electronic Privacy Information Center ($500,000) • Carnegie Mellon ($350,000) • Indiana University ($300,000) • YMCA of Greater Long Beach ($300,000)
• Berkeley Law School ($200,000) • Brookings Institution ($165,000) • Youth Radio ($50,000)

Budget Edition
We’re moving into the busy season here at City Hall. We have started to review the Mayor’s proposed budget for 2010 and 2011, closely analyzing his recommendations and considering additional cuts or additions. This process will demand our full attention until we adopt the final budget on November 23.
The Council sent a letter to Mayor Nickels in August outlining our budget priorities, particularly for public safety and human services. The Mayor heard us and has maintained critical funding in these areas. Here is my short list of additional areas I will follow closely and ask my colleagues to support.
Prostituted Children. King County recently cut funding for a pilot project I proposed that would have taken prostituted juveniles off the streets and placed them in safe housing with specialized mental health and chemical dependency treatment services. Despite this cut, I am not giving up on these kids. Several individuals and organizations in the private sector have contacted me and made pledges to financially support this vital project. My goal is to match a small amount of city money, perhaps $150,000, with private pledges so this program can begin early next year. Read the Boyer report for a detailed examination of the 300 to 500 children involved in street prostitution in King County; it’s a horrific accounting of violence, coercion, fear and abuse by predators who sexually exploit children. (You can read my personal blog postings on this subject here.)
Youth Mentoring. We have spent a lot of time and millions of dollars to curb youth violence since I joined the Council in January 2008. I’ve been to all corners of our good city talking with community groups, parents, school officials and young people about what our city government can do to stop the violence. I’ve heard one consistent message: start early with prevention efforts. Numerous studies show that when we give children strong role models they are less likely to engage in anti-social behavior and more likely to graduate from high school. One particular study revealed that children with an active mentor were 32% less likely to hit someone, 46% less likely to start using illegal drugs and 52% less likely to skip school. We can create lasting change by starting in the early elementary grades with strong mentorship programs that focus on literacy. I will propose that we spend an additional $500,000 next year to mentor children.
Graffiti and Litter Clean Up. As part of my Safer Streets Initiative, I would like to direct $400,000 to a unique program designed to clean up graffiti and litter in our business districts, including downtown. This isn’t simply an aesthetic issue; it’s about preventing crime and creating safer, more lively and enjoyable streets. Late last year I read a fascinating study which showed that people were more likely to steal or litter when there was already graffiti on the wall or trash on the ground. Disorder leads to more disorder. What will make the program unique? Those employed to do the work will be low-level offenders who are given this opportunity to work in the community in lieu of harsher alternatives. This might be one way to address the increasing problem of aggressive panhandling throughout Seattle.
Crime Prevention Programs. Beginning in 2006, two years before I joined the Council, the City launched three anti-crime programs designed to reduce criminal behavior among chronic offenders or potential first-time offenders with histories of homelessness, chemical dependency or mental health challenges. The programs have operated on shoestring budgets and experienced some administrative problems. An evaluation of program effectiveness completed last month was inconclusive, but offered hints of potential for success, particularly in reducing jail bookings once clients entered a program. I will seek continued funding for the programs—approximately $1 million—along with more explicit objectives, much stronger performance measures and increased administrative support and controls. (Read a press release about these programs here.)
While one could be critical of how these programs were established and their lack of specific performance measures, they are exactly the type of effort we need to continue experimenting with. Why? Because our traditional approach results in a cycle of arrest, prosecution, and jail, followed by more offending. It has created a staggering prison population in this country that is far higher per capita than any other industrialized democracy in the world. One of every 100 adult Americans is in prison, a rate that is alarmingly higher among sub-groups of our population, for example African Americans. Our current law enforcement approach to non-violent, non-trafficking drug offenders is broken and that’s why I will continue to press for more creative approaches that address root problems and causes, approaches that focus on alternatives to jail.
Thank you for your continued interest in civic affairs. Our city is strong because people choose to engage, debate the issues and work on solutions. I’m grateful for my job representing you here at City Hall. What an honor!

Despite denials, Dutch Catholic Church knew of child abuse as early as 1954
Home » Despite denials, Dutch Catholic Church knew of child abuse as early as 1954 Despite denials, Dutch Catholic Church knew of child abuse as early as 1954
A Dutch investigative TV programme has uncovered documents in church archives that show that the Catholic Church was aware of child abuse at orphanages and other institutions throughout theNetherlandsas early as 1954. Senior church officials have consistently denied that they knew of the abuses.The TV programme Altijd Wat reported on Monday that the church’s council for child protection issued warnings about child abuse in church-run homes and boarding schools in 1959 and 1962. The warnings were sent to the authorities at 112 homes and residential schools. The letters urged institution managers to be aware of the dangers of employing people who are ‘unsuitable’ to give leadership to children. The 1959 circular, for example, says the child protection group was aware of a number of cases, ‘with sad and serious outcomes’.RTL news has discovered a warning made by a senior cleric inTilburgin 1954 in which monks inTilburgwere told: “Be careful in how you relate to children and do not make your lives unhappy. Keep your hands to yourself.”Lawyer Martin de Witte, who is representing a number of victims, said the letters showed the church could no longer say it was not aware of the abuse and claim that the cases are now too old. “They knew exactly what was going on but decided to do nothing about it,” De Witte told the newspaper Volkskrant.It was revealed two years ago that three Catholic clerics from the Don Rua cloisters in ‘s-Heerenberg,Gelderland, had abused at least three children in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, a government commission has received reports of almost 2,000 cases of abuse within religious institutions, a number of which will be taken to court.Sister Maureen Paul Turlish, Advocate for Victims & Legislative Reform, commented: “The documents that are being made public show an unconscionable level of deceit and an almost unbelievable lack of ethical or moral standards. And the pope worries about ‘the obstacles to Christian faith and practice raised by a secularized culture’? Church leaders should look to themselves as the church continues to lose credibility and moral authority.”

4 Bold Predictions for PSIM by Bob Banerjee
Created: April 5, 2013
It's all the talk, but the focus is shifting
Dr. Bob Banerjee is the senior Director of Training and Development for NICE Systems Security Division, based in Paramus, N.J., www.nice.com.
Nice Systems More
I’ve seen airports and mass transit operators taking it to the next level—starting with security, but then broadening the scope to safety and even operations. If you think about all of the things that PSIM can do—connecting the dots between different systems, creating the common picture, providing a consistent way to manage incidents and documenting their resolution—then you can begin to envision other applications. For example, an airport can use PSIM to coordinate all of the complex processes and resources involved in managing an emergency landing, other operational scenarios involving gate closures or maintenance issues.
Crowding and long lines can create bottlenecks and frustration in airports, train stations or anywhere for that matter. By integrating PSIM with video and analytics, you can identify overcrowding hotspots and alert operators to take actions to send additional staff, open more lines and so on. Russian rail operator Aeroexpress uses PSIM in this fashion. They also use it to track and report on the number, severity and types of incidents at each location and watch how those stats are trending. Tracking these “pain-points” helps them identify root causes of problems and continuously improve their operations.
And speaking of operations, PSIM can create operational savings too. Organizations are discovering that PSIM isn’t just about protecting people, assets and infrastructure—it can substantially reduce operational costs. For example, Millennium bcp, Portugal’s largest bank, was able to reduce false alarms by 75 percent and cut its monitoring and response costs by 30 percent.
These are just a few examples. I predict we will see many more examples of operational uses and ROI for PSIM in 2013 and beyond.
3. PSIM that’s affordable and accessible to all—it’s not a pipedream
Traditionally PSIM has been perceived as the province of massive complex Tier-1 airports, large seaports, major metropolitan transit operators and sprawling campuses and banks that have hundreds or thousands of office locations. I, however, personally know of a medium-sized airport and a shopping mall that handle over 100,000 incidents per year that necessitate some type of response. Like their larger counterparts, they need to know what’s going on around them; they have a desire to handle these incidents more efficiently and effectively; they want to learn from what they do so they can improve their handling of incidents the next time. As long as these organizations operate a command a control center, then at the right price, they are candidates for PSIM.
“PSIM-lite” offerings are beginning to appear in the marketplace that are tailored to smaller less-complex environments and are cost effective and easier to implement. For these organizations, PSIM-lite solutions offer a fast-track to unified security management, by providing a consolidated user interface, automatic adaptive workflows and smart sensor correlation/analytics for core security and safety systems, such as CCTV (multi-vendor VMS), access control, intrusion detection and fire detection. These PSIM-lite offerings will either be simplified and productized PSIM solutions, or they will be video or access control systems that have been enhanced with the ability to see other video and access control systems as well as improved situation management capabilities.
Further addressing the issue of affordability, I am starting to see customers innovate by effectively becoming a kind of co-operative. The primary customer hosts the PSIM system and then offers it to the secondary customers who get to share selective key resources with each other and run their SOPs on that server. Because smaller users do not need to host their own system, the barrier to entry is low, while the benefits are high. Safe city initiatives, mass transit systems and consulting organizations that lead consortiums are prime examples of those taking this innovative approach.
4. PSIM providers who focus on education will lead the pack
The one thing that consistently comes up time and time again is the need for more PSIM education. Frost & Sullivan first identified a PSIM education gap in a June 2012 market report on the global PSIM market. Coincidently, the report came out just a few weeks after my first PSIM workshop. IMS reiterated the need to improve awareness and dispel confusion about PSIM in its market report, released shortly thereafter.
While there’s no direct connection between either of these reports and the NICE workshops, the conclusions in the two studies probably explain why the workshops are in such high demand. They foster much needed PSIM awareness and education.

For Immediate Release October 9, 2012���Contact: Jeremy Warren, 512-463-0113 Statement of Senator Ellis on Supreme Court Hearing Fisher v. University of Texas
(Austin, Texas)—State Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston), released the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's upcoming oral argument in Fisher v. University of Texas (UT).
"This week, the US Supreme Court begins a debate that could fundamentally alter the future of higher education in Texas and, potentially, how all business is conducted in the United States. That may sound like hyperbole, but with the court deciding to re-consider the legality of affirmative action and, with the new severely conservative majority, many of us fear laws guaranteeing equal opportunity for all will be tossed aside. "That the court even took up the case less than a decade after seemingly deciding this issue is cause for concern. It is certainly not unprecedented for the court to take up an issue so soon, but it is rare and troubling.
"Like many here today, I signed on to the amicus brief filed in defense of the University of Texas' admissions program because it is imperative that we continue to fight to ensure access and opportunity in higher education. It is important to make your voice heard on important issues such as this, rally the troops and demonstrate that this issue is not just a cold, sterile legal debate in hallowed halls, but has a real impact on people's lives and the future of our state.
"A reversal will have a devastating impact, and anyone who says otherwise is simply not telling the truth. We already have an example. In the mid-1990s, the Hopwood decision banned consideration of race in Texas admissions decisions, and diversity at our college campuses plummeted. The 1997-98 freshman class at the University of Texas at Austin saw African American admissions drop 28 percent. Of the 500 students enrolled at the UT Law School that year, only four were black and 25 were Hispanic. Overall, African American enrollment at all public law schools fell nearly 25 percent between 1996 and 1997, and the percentage of African Americans freshmen at UT Law was lower than when it was desegregated in 1946! If the Supreme Court overturns UT's admissions policies, we will see campuses that do not reflect a state as diverse as Texas. Texas is even more diverse today than it was in the mid-1990s. We are now a minority-majority state, so anything that essentially gives a pass for widespread disparity is going to have that much more of a negative impact on communities of color.
"I fear a negative ruling could have an impact far beyond only higher education, rolling back progress on a number of fronts. My concern is that the court could rule broadly and ban any use of affirmative action at all, fundamentally altering how all business is conducted in the United States. Given the travesty of the Citizens United decision -- which overturned a century of campaign finance law and has allowed those with the deepest pockets to have the deepest impact on our elections -- I fear the worst.
"Whenever the debate turns to race nearly everyone concedes racism in America still exists, but only in the abstract, not in specific, real-world terms. That's bunk. The sad truth is the impact of race continues to be a major factor in whether one succeeds or fails in this nation. Not the factor, but still a major factor.
"For instance, African Americans are less than 12 percent of the Texas population but make up over 35 percent of our prison population and nearly 40 percent of those on death row. Enrollment at some of our top public universities remains highly segregated. African Americans make up only 4.7 percent of the enrolled students at UT, and just 2.9 percent at A&M.
"Race and poverty are sadly still intertwined. In Texas, the poverty rate is nearly 20 percent, but 35 percent for African Americans, compared to only 13 percent for Anglos. Though the problem is particularly pernicious in the Deep South, race and poverty remain major issues all across the country. For instance, the poverty rate of African Americans in Michigan exceeds that for those living in Texas, Florida, Louisiana and Alabama. New York has a slightly higher African American poverty rate than South Carolina. "The issue of race continues to be linked with opportunity in Texas and our country. It plays a key role in our society and we cannot just pretend that the legitimate progress made in the last several decades means equality of opportunity has been achieved and no more action needs to be taken. "I pray the Supreme Court will recognize the wisdom of its prior decision, because we cannot afford to roll back the clock on a half century of progress."

Roll Perception Plus Awareness: Pathfinder RPG
By Paul Weimer | Monday, June 6th, 2011 at
11:59 am Welcome back to Roll Perception Plus Awareness, a column about the world of role playing games. Two installments ago, I mentioned that the end of Dungeons and Dragons version 3.5 led to a reboot of the Dungeons and Dragons franchise into its 4th edition. This time, I will take a look at the other major game to come out of the end of D&D version 3.5…a game that isn’t D&D at all, but aspires to carry on the 3.5 tradition: Pathfinder.
As I mentioned in the aforementioned column, the Open Gaming License offered by Wizards of the Coast for 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons led to a proliferation of d20 products and RPG companies seeking to tap into that market. Among those companies was a company called Paizo.
Paizo already had a working relationship with Wizards of the Coast, publishing their Dragon and Dungeon magazines through September 2007. Paizo enthusiastically put out modules and Adventure Paths for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, as many companies did, until Wizards of the Coast announced their 4th Edition Plans.
Faced with the prospect of the base 3.5 system going out of print, and unwilling to submit to the revised and more restrictive Open Gaming License that Wizards of the Coast planned for 4th Edition, Paizo decided to create their own offshoot of the 3.5 system of their own. And thus, Pathfinder was conceived. After extensive “beta” playtesting, Paizo finally released their core rulebook in 2009. Since then, they have followed up the core book with a steady stream of modules, setting materials and other additions to the game. In this respect, they have been very much in keeping with the Dungeons and Dragons tradition of an extensive list of follow-on products.
As an extension and cleanup of the D&D 3.5 system rather than a full reboot, Pathfinder RPG might be thought of as “Dungeons and Dragons 3.75″. It builds on the Third Edition chassis, attempting to clear up issues and continue its traditions and feel. Personally, I think that while it aspires to be a generic roleplaying D&D-like game, Pathfinder, especially in its modules and setting material comes across to me with a much more gritty, sword and sorcery feel. If Dungeons and Dragons 3.0′s world evokes, say, Brandon Sanderson, then Pathfinder RPG’s feel is more of a Jon Sprunk or James Enge sort of milieu.
But is the game successful? Forget the business I mentioned with 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons about “roles”, daily and encounter powers and the other radical reboot notions. Most of the things in Pathfinder RPG will be similar to those who played Dungeons and Dragons in the 80′s and 90′s.
Wizards are still fragile. Spells work much the same as in earlier editions. Memorize spells and use them, Vancian style. The prestige class mess is pared away. Some thorny rules are clarified. Grappling rules, for instance, which are to Dungeons and Dragons as the “Infield Fly rule” is to baseball, have been addressed, for instance. Fighters and Rogues have been rebalanced to be viable and strong characters at high level, which no doubt helps give that sword and sorcery feel. Classic Dungeons and Dragons at high levels tends to be dominated by magic-users; Pathfinder seems designed to be much more balanced toward the combat oriented classes.
Make no mistake, though. This is not a rules-light system by any stretch. The complexity of the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 system is still there. For someone who has never played any Dungeons and Dragons, the amount of complexity in the 576 page rulebook might be daunting and intimidating, although that rulebook includes both the player and the Gamemaster rules in it.
For those who have played Dungeons and Dragons, though, the buy-in for Pathfinder is a lot easier and a lot more palatable, I think, than for Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition. The chassis that underlies Pathfinder RPG is the same chassis that builds upon the earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Terminology, concepts, and basic mechanics are very much the same. If you took the hypothetical time-traveling D&D player from 1980 I invented in my column and gave them a copy of Pathfinder RPG, they would have much more familiarity and comfort with it than Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition. Large portions of the game are simply unchanged in the Pathfinder RPG.
Like Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, there is a fairly loose Open Gaming License applied to the Pathfinder RPG. Thus, if you want to take a look at the system document and see for yourself that it very much resembles Dungeons and Dragons pre-4th Edition, you can do so here.
The last reason to pay attention to Pathfinder as a RPG is the tie-in novels. Paizo has had a tradition for a number of years of publishing some formerly out of print classic novels from the 1940′s and 1950′s (under their Planet Stories line) but now, just as Wizards of the Coast has done with Dungeons and Dragons, Paizo has taken to publishing books and stories based in the Pathfinder world. Fantasy authors like Liane Merciel (author of the River Kings Road) and Howard Andrew Jones (author of the Desert of Souls) have written Pathfinder tie-in novels.
Many thanks for clarifying some parts of Paizo’s history and Pathfinder go to Jim Groves, who has written for a number of Paizo products and modules.

John Stevens says: June 6, 2011 at 2:15 pm I haven’t gotten to play for awhile, but I find the Pathfinder/D&D 3.5 hybrid to be a good structure for role-playing, especially, as you noted, in a fantasy/sword-n-sorcery setting. I’ve used it once for a campaign that was cut short, but I thought that, with a few homebrew rules we added in, the system worked well and, as you also noted, was quickly engaged by the other players, all of whom came from a D&D background. I was not enamored of 4th Edition, although shifting from the Vancian magic system sounds like a good idea. Before the campaign stopped I had started working on a new magic system (taking some ideas from the 3.5 Warlock) that gave lo-level mages a bit more power.
I somehow missed the OGL aspect of Pathfinder; thanks for bringing that up and linking to their SRD.
Aldo Ojeda says: June 6, 2011 at 8:26 pm I haven’t played Pathfinder, but for what I’ve seen it indeed looks more accecible than other D&D editions. But talking about d20, I prefer D20 Modern and Star Wars Saga. Mainly because the setting is is so different from fantasy, wich honestly I’m tired of it in RPG’s. By the way, when are you going to talk about other games, like Traveller, Gamma World or Paranoia?
Paul (@princejvstin) says: June 7, 2011 at 5:29 am Hi Aldo.
I felt that I had to start on the most familiar ground before branching out to less well known games. Thus, I always planned to do D&D and Pathfinder early, so readers would have a degree of familiarity.
Now that I’ve covered D&D (and its greatest imitator). I feel free to branch out. I have a whole shelf of games in my bookcase to talk about…
bryant says: June 7, 2011 at 9:32 am Another interesting contrast between the two is the format: Pathfinder is available as a PDF (a PDF that is kept current with changes in the rules, I believe), Dungeons and Dragons 4e is not.
Wizards of the Coast experimented with PDFs, but stopped after concerns about piracy.
This is one of those instances where the mass and inertia of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro are keeping them from being as nimble as the much smaller Paizo (though at this point, I’d posit that Paizo is the second biggest publisher of RPGs in the US). WotC needs to convince a massive body of shareholders–most of whom traffic in tangible toy goods–to the value of meeting new media demands; Paizo (who made their name and lucre selling both tangible and intangible goods for WotC) is already convinced of it.

Cash, Coaching May Boost Healthy Living
TUESDAY, May 29 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that people with unhealthy lifestyles are more likely to eat better and watch less TV if they receive financial incentives, use technology to track their progress and get reminders from coaches.It's not clear how much a program like this might cost overall, or exactly why it might work, but the study lead author said costs could drop if the coaches are virtual, not live, and she emphasized the larger message -- that a couple of simple changes in behavior can spur lasting changes. "People are able to make healthy lifestyle changes, and they're able to make them a lot faster, sooner and larger than most of us would have believed possible," said Bonnie Spring, a professor of preventive medicine, psychology, psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "And once they make them, 86 percent of people tried to keep it up."
The researchers launched the study to see what might inspire people to change bad habits that put them at risk of heart disease and cancer. "People usually have more than one unhealthy behavior," Spring said. "It's so hard to know where to begin, and folks tend to get overwhelmed because they don't know how to manage it."
The researchers recruited 204 people, with an average age of 33, who had four signs of poor health: high saturated-fat levels, low consumption of fruits and vegetables, high amounts of sedentary leisure time and low levels of exercise. "We made the assumption that we couldn't get people to change all four at once," Spring said. "We wanted to see that if we could get them to change two, would we get freebies -- some others that would come along for the ride and improve?"
The study authors randomly assigned the subjects to treatments targeting two of the four problem areas. The target goals were eating five fruits and vegetables a day and limiting sedentary time to 90 minutes daily, or exercising for 60 minutes a day and keeping saturated fats to less than 8 percent of daily diet.All had to use personal digital assistants to track their progress and communicate via email or phone with coaches. The participants could earn $175 for meeting goals. The researchers found that average daily fruit and vegetable intake grew from 1.2 to 5.5 servings over three weeks, while sedentary leisure -- typically TV time -- fell from 219 to 89 minutes. Saturated fat, as a percentage of overall calories, fell from 12 percent to 9.4 percent.However, even though most participants at a 20-week follow-up said they tried to continue their lifestyles, they had trouble. Their daily consumption of fruits and vegetables fell to an average of 2.9 per day, while their minutes of sedentary leisure grew to 126 minutes a day and their percentage of saturated fat calories rose to 9.9 percent.Overall, targeting fruit and vegetable consumption and couch-potato lifestyles proved more effective than attempting to reduce saturated fats and increase physical activity, the researchers found. But that might have been because those goals were easier to achieve, one expert said.
So, did the coaching or the money make the difference? "We really don't know," Spring said. "What's important to realize is that if you talk to most physicians, they do not believe you can get people to make behavior changes like this."
As for cost, in the future it may be possible to create virtual coaches and use smartphone apps to replace the live coaches, which would considerably lower the cost, she said. William Riley, a program director in the division of cardiovascular sciences at the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, who wrote a commentary accompanying the study, said the cost may be low long-term if the strategies improve people's health."If just one person using this intervention had just one less outpatient office visit as a result of improved health, that would offset the cost of the $175 incentive provided in this study," Riley said. "Think what the cost savings would be if this monetary incentive prevented one or more participants from developing diabetes or having a heart attack." The study appears in the May 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.More informationFor more about obesity, visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine.SOURCES: Bonnie Spring, Ph.D., professor, department of preventive medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago; William Riley, Ph.D., program director, division of cardiovascular sciences, U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.; May 28, 2012, Archives of Internal Medicine Related Articles

U.S. Med Students May Be Undereducated on Obesity
FRIDAY, Nov. 9 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. medical schools do a poor job of teaching students how to deal with weight issues in obese patients, according to a new study.Researchers analyzed more than 200 articles about obesity-related medical-school training that were published between 1966 and 2010. Only five of the articles dealt with ways to increase medical student's knowledge, attitudes and skills regarding treatment of overweight and obese patients.Only two of the five articles dealt with medical student bias toward obese patients, and just one addressed how to change this bias, according to the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers.They said their findings are consistent with doctors' reports of inadequate training in helping patients manage their weight.The study was published in a recent issue of the journal Teaching and Learning in Medicine."Our study shows clear gaps in medical education regarding obesity," lead author Mara Vitolins, professor of public health sciences, said in a Wake Forest news release.She said medical students need to be provided with the skills to address overweight and obesity in patients in order to help reduce the national obesity epidemic and to reduce the number of deaths and chronic diseases associated with excess weight. It's also vital for medical schools to reduce students' negative attitudes toward overweight and obese patients, because such attitudes could affect patient care."Medical students are surrounded by the same environment that everyone is in this country -- a culture of idealized images of physical attractiveness in which thin is good and fat is bad," Vitolins said. "We just aren't doing a good enough job of teaching our students evidence-based methods of intervention and care for our obese patients."More informationThe U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute explains how overweight and obesity are treated.SOURCE: Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, news release, Oct. 31, 2012 Related Articles

COMMENTS Gardner-Webb men suffer first losing streak of 2012-13
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Gardner-Webb’s rally on the road fell short Wednesday night, as Winthrop held on for a 61-55 win over the Runnin’ Bulldogs. The loss marked the first time all season that the Runnin’ Bulldogs (10-10, 2-4 Big South) have lost two games in a row. Trailing 30-24 at the break, Gardner-Webb made its first six shots of the second half, including a pair of 3-pointers from Max Landis, to take a 39-37 lead in the first seven minutes of the final period. A pair of Donta Harper free throws pushed the lead to 41-37, but Winthrop (8-10, 2-4 Big South) went on another healthy run to surge back in front midway through the half. That 7-0 spurt would be enough to keep the Eagles in front the rest of the way, as Gardner-Webb pulled as close as three points but couldn’t get over the hump in the final five minutes. A 3-pointer from Tyler Strange snapped a long scoreless spell for the Runnin’ Bulldogs with 1:12 left, cutting Winthrop’s lead to 56-52, but Winthrop made enough free throws to salt the game away in the final minute. A Kevin Hartley 3-pointer with 11.9 seconds left cut the lead back to two possessions, 61-55, and Gardner-Webb stole the inbounds pass – but a turnover allowed Winthrop to run out the clock. Andre Smith scored a game-high 14 points, Christian Farmer came off the bench to pour in 13 and James Bourne supplied 11 points, six rebounds and three assists from his forward spot to pace Winthrop. The Eagles shot 44.4 percent for the game (20-of-45) outscored Gardner-Webb by 10 points at the charity stripe, making 15-of-20 chances. Paced by Bourne, Winthrop outpaced the Runnin’ Bulldogs 18-6 in the paint. Gardner-Webb got a team-high 13 points from Hartley, 11 points from Tashan Newsome and eight points from Landis. The ‘Dogs shot 44.7 percent for the game (21-of-47) and 44.4 percent from three-point range (8-of-18), but made just 5-of-9 chances at the free throw line (55.6 percent) and did not score a second-chance point all evening. 1

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Gardner-Webb’s rally on the road fell short Wednesday night, as Winthrop held on for a 61-55 win over the Runnin’ Bulldogs.
The loss marked the first time all season that the Runnin’ Bulldogs (10-10, 2-4 Big South) have lost two games in a row.
Trailing 30-24 at the break, Gardner-Webb made its first six shots of the second half, including a pair of 3-pointers from Max Landis, to take a 39-37 lead in the first seven minutes of the final period.
A pair of Donta Harper free throws pushed the lead to 41-37, but Winthrop (8-10, 2-4 Big South) went on another healthy run to surge back in front midway through the half. That 7-0 spurt would be enough to keep the Eagles in front the rest of the way, as Gardner-Webb pulled as close as three points but couldn’t get over the hump in the final five minutes.
A 3-pointer from Tyler Strange snapped a long scoreless spell for the Runnin’ Bulldogs with 1:12 left, cutting Winthrop’s lead to 56-52, but Winthrop made enough free throws to salt the game away in the final minute. A Kevin Hartley 3-pointer with 11.9 seconds left cut the lead back to two possessions, 61-55, and Gardner-Webb stole the inbounds pass – but a turnover allowed Winthrop to run out the clock.
Andre Smith scored a game-high 14 points, Christian Farmer came off the bench to pour in 13 and James Bourne supplied 11 points, six rebounds and three assists from his forward spot to pace Winthrop. The Eagles shot 44.4 percent for the game (20-of-45) outscored Gardner-Webb by 10 points at the charity stripe, making 15-of-20 chances. Paced by Bourne, Winthrop outpaced the Runnin’ Bulldogs 18-6 in the paint.
Gardner-Webb got a team-high 13 points from Hartley, 11 points from Tashan Newsome and eight points from Landis. The ‘Dogs shot 44.7 percent for the game (21-of-47) and 44.4 percent from three-point range (8-of-18), but made just 5-of-9 chances at the free throw line (55.6 percent) and did not score a second-chance point all evening.
Gardner-Webb jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in a choppy start for both offenses, but saw Winthrop respond with a 7-0 spurt. After a Hartley trey tied the game, Winthrop went on another run – this time a 6-0 spurt – that was keyed by a 4-point play off the fingertips off Farmer. The Eagles would expand their lead to 20-12 with 6:14 to play before intermission on a Derrick Henry jumper.
That lead would grow to 26-16 on a Farmer 3-pointer at the 3:29 mark, but Newsome converted a pair of short baskets and made one free throw to keep Winthrop within striking distance and, after an Eagles’ bucket with 24 seconds left, Isaiah Ivey drained a 3-pointer just before the horn for a 30-24 halftime score.
Newsome scored nine of his points and Hartley had seven at the break, and leading scorer Donta Harper played just four minutes after picking up three early fouls. Harper finished with seven points in just 14 minutes Wednesday, just his third game scoring less than double figures all season.
Winthrop shot an even 50 percent in the first 20 minutes, with Farmer pacing the stat sheet with eight markers by intermission.
Gardner-Webb will play the second game of a three-game road swing at 1 p.m. Saturday at VMI in Lexington, Va. The game will air live on WGWG-FM (88.3/wgwg.org). Video for the game will be available on the Big South Network (bigsouthsports.com).

Sort By: Post Date | Title | Publish Date When You Care Enough To Print The Very Best; Fine Art Ink Jet Papers From Moab Paper
By: Joe Farace

It's no secret that the simplest way to get high quality output from an ink jet printer is to use the best paper. What's the best? That depends on your printer and the kind of inks it uses. It...
When You Need To Do More Than Just Print; Easy Editing, Snappy Art, And More Actions
“To err is human—and to blame it on a computer is even more so.”—Robert Orben
Wi-Fi and printing are two words I never expected to use together in a sentence, but after working with Epson’s (www.epson.com) Artisan 700 All-in-One I can’t imagine it any other way. For openers, the Artisan 700 is compact...
Which Famous Photographer Are You? Good Day And Welcome To Year Nine
"Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy."--Jerry Uelsmann To find out which famous photographer's style best fits you, take this quiz at: Continue Reading >
Wi-Pics; Wireless Image File Transfer
Wireless transfer of photographic image files is nothing new--at least not in Internet years. Canon and Nikon have their own versions of such devices and while they are not inexpensive (about $1000) they are not that expensive if you really need to transfer image files wirelessly. The downside to Canon's WFT-E1A and Nikon's WT-2 is that both are designed to work...
XOTOPRO’s QMM1; When A Ringlight Just Won’t Cut It
Everybody knows the best way to light macro-sized subjects is with a ringlight, right? But el problemo is that ringlights produce flat-looking lighting.
XPan Scans; Tips And Tools For Digitizing Panoramic Film
My favorite scene in the film Lawrence of Arabia is when Peter O'Toole, as Lawrence, looks out onto the desert landscape and watches a rider riding slowly toward him. It turns out to be Omar Sharif but the encounter is made more dramatic by the widescreen format.
There are a lot of ways to make panoramic images, including cropping standard...
Year End Wrap UpDigital Photography
According to IDC Inc., the number of digital images captured is expected to grow from 3.5 billion in 1999 to 34 billion in 2004. So it's no wonder that the computer world's mantra of "bigger, faster, cheaper" was never more obvious than in this year's crop of digital imaging...
Year-End Wrap-Up; Digital Imaging Books
Books about digital imaging can be a source of information and inspiration. They have the space to provide an in-depth look at programs, plug-ins, or techniques and many of them include CD-ROMs loaded with demo or "tryout" versions of commercial software, shareware, or files of the...
Year-End Wrap-UpPhotoshop Compatible Plug-Ins
What does the Internet have to do with the invention of graphics plug-ins? More than you might think and you don't have to be a fan of James Burke's TV series Connections to make the necessary connections. It starts in the mind of computer...
Yet Another Auld Lang Syne: What’s Your Digital New Year’s Resolution?
Many people’s New Year’s resolution is to lose weight and since, as of this writing, I’ve lost 53 lbs, that’s low on my list of possibilities. Last year in this column I announced a resolution to make a new photograph every day and post in a gallery called “2011 Photo of the Day” (http://farace.smugmug.com). If you visit it, you’ll see that I’ve only partially succeeded. The project turned out to be much harder than I expected and only heightened my appreciation of some of the Picture-a-Day blogs and websites featured in Web Profiles during 2011. Instead, my 2012 New Year’s resolution is to update all of my websites and blogs and I’m well on my way, including a long-overdue update to www.joefarace.com. In the meantime, you can draw some inspiration from the websites and blogs that are featured to kick off the New Year.

Judge signs off on landmark Calif. water accord Posted:
August 1, 2013 2:18 p.m.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A California judge has approved the nation's largest farm-to-city water transfer that ends a decade-long dispute over how to divide the state's share of water from the Colorado River.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly on Wednesday affirmed his tentative ruling in June that upheld a 2003 agreement between the Imperial Irrigation District and the San Diego County Water Authority.
The deal was challenged in court by environmentalists, government officials and some farmers, who argued the water transfer to San Diego accelerates the demise of California's largest lake, the Salton Sea.
The water from the Colorado River serves as a major source of drinking water and farming in California, six other Western states and much of northwest Mexico.

Indiana man charged in ex-girlfriend's '93 killing Posted:
Ben and Karen Rison, along with their daughter, Wendy Hakes, pose with a photo of their late daughter and sister Rayna in LaPorte, Ind.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana man was arraigned Friday on murder charges in the 1993 strangulation of his 16-year-old ex-girlfriend, five years after prosecutors got the break in the case that eventually led them to him.
Judge Tom Alevizos entered a not guilty plea on behalf of 38-year-old Jason Tibbs in the slaying of Rayna Rison and ordered the LaPorte man held without bond. He set a Sept. 13 deadline by which Tibbs must hire an attorney or have a public defender appointed to him. No one responded to a message seeking comment left at a phone number listed as Tibbs'.
Rison's disappearance on March 26, 1993, garnered widespread attention. It was featured on "America's Most Wanted" and it inspired former Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley to offer a $25,000 reward for her safe return. The day after Rison went missing, her car was found in a rural area several miles north of her hometown of LaPorte, which is about 25 miles west of South Bend. A week later, her boyfriend's high school letter jacket, which she had been wearing, was found hanging from a tree. About a month after she vanished, fishermen found Rison's body in a pond a few miles from where her car was found.
Prosecutors initially charged Rison's brother-in-law, Ray McCarty, with killing her. Three years before her death, he pleaded guilty to molesting her and was given a three-year suspended sentence that included 100 hours of community service, mandatory counseling and three years of probation. A newly elected prosecutor dropped the charge against McCarty the following year after determining there was insufficient evidence linking him to Rison's death.
It wasn't until 2008 that investigators got the break that led to Tibbs' arrest.
In a probable cause affidavit released Friday, prosecutors say Rickey Hammons, an inmate at the Wabash Valley Correction Facility, came forward that year to say that unbeknownst to them, he saw his sister's boyfriend at the time, Eric Freeman, and Tibbs with Rison's body right after she went missing. Freeman, who was 14 at the time, said he was smoking pot in the loft of a pole barn when Tibbs and Freeman pulled in driving his sister's Buick Century. He said they opened the trunk, revealing Rison's body inside, and they argued, with Freeman asking Tibbs why he killed the girl.
According to prosecutors, police interviewed Freeman in 2008 and he denied Hammons' account and refused to talk to them again. But they say that after being promised immunity from prosecution two months ago, Freeman told police he saw Tibbs kill Rison. He said Tibbs was trying to get back together with her, and they got into an argument that escalated to blows and eventually, to Tibbs strangling her. Freeman said he and Tibbs then drove to the pole barn with the body and later disposed of it in the pond.
Rison's father, Ben Rison, said he was relieved that an arrest had finally been made.
"We can't hold her in our arms anymore, but maybe we can get some satisfaction out of this," Rison said.
He said he never gave up hope.
"I made her a promise I would find whoever it was," he said.

Free show at College of the Canyons Art Gallery
November 28, 2008 4:30 a.m.
In Los Angeles, Gil Garcetti's name is often associated with politics and cracking down on crime. But what many don't know about the former Los Angeles County District Attorney is that he is also a critically acclaimed urban photographer.Named one of the country's four master photographers by American Photo magazine in 2003, Garcetti will exhibit his photography at the College of the Canyons Art Gallery from Dec. 1 to Dec. 16."These are sophisticated and yet completely accessible images," said Larry Hurst, director of the college's art gallery."Mr. Garcetti demonstrates compassion and respect with these beautiful photographs," Hurst said.Garcetti has exhibited his photography nationwide and internationally, including at the United Nations, National Building Museum, the UCLA Fowler Museum, the University of Southern California School of Architecture and the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing. Garcetti has published five photo books: "Iron" (Balcony Press, 2002) celebrates the contributions of ironworkers to the construction of the Walt Disney Concert Hall; "Frozen Music" (Balcony Press, 2003) is a portfolio of 45 panorama lithographs of the finished Walt Disney Concert Hall; "Dance in Cuba" (Balcony Press, 2005) illustrates the extraordinary spirit of the Cuban people through dance; "The Closer" (Balcony Press, 2006) demonstrates what it takes to put a successful television show on the air (Garcetti is the show's consulting producer); and his most recent book "Water is Key" (Balcony Press, 2007) focuses on the dire need to bring clean water to the people of West Africa. Garcetti will be at the COC Art Gallery from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4, for a free discussion and book signing.The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.Visitors unable to attend during these hours are welcome to call the gallery at (661) 362-3612 to make an appointment for a more convenient time slot.

Home : Skin Care : Face : Moisturizers : 125 To 149.99 Moisturizers
Moisturizing your face daily is arguably the single most important step in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. A well-hydrated face is a happy face! Be sure to thoroughly wash your face with a facial cleanser prior to applying moisturizer. Increase the effectiveness of your moisturizer through regular exfoliation and facial masks, which remove dead skin cells and allow moisturizers to penetrate and hydrate pores. A moisturized face also provides a better adhesive for your cosmetics. Plus, many facial moisturizers are available with added sunscreen to protect your skin and block the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.With so many moisturizers to choose from, it's important to know what to look for, particularly when it comes to your skin type. Specially formulated gels, balms and creams are available for those with oily, dry or combination skin. Many formulas include anti-aging properties, while others are designed for those who suffer from skin irritations such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, skin allergies and seborrhea. Look for benefit-enhancing ingredients like antioxidants, which help prevent damage caused by environmental pollutants and free radicals, as well as glycerin, a moisture-drawing humectant, and skin-softening ingredients from plant, animal and mineral oils, such as shea and cocoa butter, silicones, petrolatum and cholesterol.

Ben Affleck to Direct ‘Live By Night,’ Based on Novel by ‘Gone Baby Gone’ Author
Posted on Thursday, October 11th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
Ben Affleck‘s third directorial effort, Argo, opens this week, and as far as I’m concerned the guy is three for three in the director’s chair. His solid track record so far makes Affleck a big choice as possible director for a lot of different projects, big and small, but so far the only one that has seemed like it might happen is The Stand.
With Argo taking Affleck away from Boston and crime fiction, The Stand seemed like an interesting prospect as it would take him even further afield. But we’ve heard little about that all year, and now it seems like the director/actor is going back home. He’s even traveling with author Dennis Lehane, whose work provided the basis for Affleck’s directorial debut Gone Baby Gone.
The project is Live By Night, a primarily Boston-set story that takes place at the height of Prohibition, and follows a policeman’s son who takes to life as a liquor outlaw, which eventually leads him to Florida, Cuba, and the depths of crime.

GarageBand for iOS 7 to be offered for free with in-app purchases
JC Torres
It seems that someone at Apple got a wee bit excited and accidentally revealed way too much ahead of the company's Tuesday event. Briefly appearing on its Built-in Apps page for the iPhone 5s was a footnote indicating that GarageBand will be available as free app download. Of course, with in-app purchase options.
iOS 7, the newest version of Apple's mobile OS, which was announced alongside the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, represented an almost radical shift in the company's design tastes. There were a number of negative reactions to the changes, even among long-time Apple fans. But like it or not, this is clearly where the company is heading. And it isn't bad at all, as you can read from our lengthy review of iOS 7 here.
One of the things that iOS 7 brought in was a slight shift in Apple's business model, at least as far as its core productivity and creative apps were concerned. Starting launch, a number of iWorks and iLife titles, including Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, and iMovie, became available free of charge for owners of the iPhone 5s. Noticeably missing, however, was the music creation app, GarageBand. But that too will soon change.
The aforementioned iPhone 5s page was briefly spotted to sport new icons for the iWorks and iLife apps. Additionally, It also featured a footnote indicating that GarageBand will be free on App Store for iOS 7 compatible devices. It will, however, require in-app purchases for new instruments and sounds. This is probably the best compromise available if one considers that licensing fees on those instruments and sounds might have been the reason why the app wasn't available for free immediately.
Apple has now pulled down those changes to the web page, hinting that it isn't quite time to reveal them yet. Perhaps it will do so at its event on October 22 when it is expected to announce a load of new items such as a new iPad, a new iPad mini, OS X Mavericks, and maybe some new MacBook Pros, too.

In the summer of 1965, a female Dalmatian was stolen from a farm in Pennsylvania. Her story changed America.

Where's Pepper?
First, Ivan Pavlov would sever a dog's esophagus and sew the loose ends to its throat, leaving a pair of adjacent holes that connected, by separate passages, to its mouth and stomach. Then he'd slice through the dog's abdomen, carve a hole in the wall of its stomach, and stitch open another permanent wound.

The dog, left hungry from the night before, would be harnessed to a wooden stand and presented with a bowl of raw meat. No matter how much it ate, it never got full—the dog chewed and swallowed, but the masticated meat would erupt from its esophageal opening and dribble back into the bowl, whereupon the dog would lap it up all over again. In the meantime, a glass tube attached to the animal's stomach opening allowed its gastric secretions to drip into a collecting bottle, so they could be filtered, analyzed, and sold to the public as a remedy for dyspepsia.
As historian Daniel P. Todes writes in Pavlov's Physiology Factory, these thrice-perforated animals enabled a new approach to science—the chronic experiment—and a series of discoveries about the nervous control of digestion for which Pavlov won the Nobel Prize in 1904. (At the time of the award, he was just beginning to study how animals learned to salivate at the sound of a buzzer.) * In 1935, just before his death, Pavlov approved the design for a monument to his canine test subjects, erected on the grounds of the Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg, Russia. A bronze plaque on one side depicts the dogs on laboratory tables, tied to their wooden frames with their fistulas open. "We must painfully acknowledge that, precisely because of its great intellectual development, the best of man's domesticated animals—the dog—most often becomes the victim of physiological experiments," he had written in 1893. "The dog is irreplaceable; moreover it is extremely touching. It is almost a participant in the experiments conducted upon it, greatly facilitating the success of the research by its understanding and compliance."
No one can say exactly how old Pepper was in the summer of 1965, but every member of the Lakavage family remembers her gentle disposition. There were plenty of other dogs racing around their farm at the bottom of Blue Mountain, but the Dalmatian named Pepper—trim and affectionate, pelted with splotches of black—was always Mom's favorite. Julia and Peter Lakavage
Julia Lakavage preferred to take in strays, but she made an exception when she saw Pepper at the decrepit Spatterdash kennel a few miles down the road. Julia and her husband, Peter, lived on 82 acres in the hills above Slatington, Pa., two hours due west of New York City. Peter had a job with Bethlehem Steel; Julia had polished shells there during the World War II, but by the 1960s she was working the night shift as a nurse for the Good Shepherd Home in Allentown. They had four daughters—Star, Carol, Kathy, and Peggy—and a 7-year-old grandson named Michael.
Pepper loved a car ride, and some nights Julia would take her along to the hospital in Allentown. If Julia were the only nurse assigned to the floor, she'd bring the dog on her rounds of nursing home residents and handicapped orphans. The patients loved it, remembers Star. They would call for Pepper as soon as they heard her paws click-clacking along the linoleum hallway. One day, Julia promised, she'd buy "Nurse Pepper" a little white hat.
But Pepper didn't come to work with Julia on the night of Tuesday, June 22, 1965. Sometime that evening, the Lakavage children let Pepper out onto the back porch for her usual evening stroll. When they opened the door half an hour later, the dog wasn't there. "Pepper always came, no matter what," says Michael. "You'd go to let her back in, and she'd be laying on the porch, waiting." For the first time that any of them could remember, Pepper was nowhere to be seen. Michael remembers standing in front of the house, calling into the darkness.
By the next morning, the Lakavages knew for sure that Pepper was gone.
Over the next few days, Julia mobilized her family in a desperate search for the missing dog. According to a short version of the incident that was published five months later, improbably, in the pages of Sports Illustrated, "all during the following week, a heartbroken Mrs. Lakavage advertised and hunted for her dog." Indeed, no one in the family had ever seen Julia so upset. ("Dogs are like family members," she would later tell a newspaper reporter, "children that don't grow up.") The Lakavages fanned out through the woods and along the dirt road that ran past the farm. They checked with the neighbors up the hill and drove to the top of Blue Mountain to call for Pepper from the ridge under the power lines. Julia posted signs and telephoned everyone she knew. Michael assumed that a neighbor had run over Pepper with a car—there was kid up the road who messed around with muscle cars—but Julia talked to someone who had seen a man loading a Dalmatian into the back of a truck near their farm. For years, animal welfare groups had been warning of nighttime forays by pet snatchers in unmarked vans. Stolen dogs, they said, were being sold to laboratories and subjected to painful experiments. In 1961, Walt Disney had released 101 Dalmatians—a hugely successful film about pet theft—and the Humane Society of the United States had begun to look into a network of illegal animal dealers operating across Pennsylvania and Maryland. Navy veteran Frank McMahon led the investigation and hired Dec Hogan, a rough-and-tumble nightclub owner, to pose as a dealer in the field. Along with another investigator, Dale Hylton, they began to stake out the rural auctions where stray animals were traded before being shipped off to research laboratories in big cities. The team devoted much of its energy to a notorious Amish market down in Lancaster County, known as the Green Dragon.
Named after a Chinese restaurant on the Atlantic City, N.J., boardwalk, the Dragon had been operating in the town of Ephrata since 1932. (It's still open.) Fridays were auction days, with sales of livestock running all afternoon. The small-animal sale started by 7 p.m.: An auctioneer would set up in the middle of a rectangular pen, about 20 feet by 40 feet, surrounded by bleachers. Crated dogs and cats were rolled inside one by one and put up for bidding. Hogan remembers thousands of people at the market, Amish vendors selling pies and cookies, and the animal dealers—"grass-roots kinds of guys, doing it for a six-pack of beer"—carting in stray dogs for sale. The winter before Pepper disappeared, investigators had watched one dealer purchase hundreds of dogs at the Green Dragon and pack them into his truck in chicken crates. When he returned home the next morning, the police were waiting; he was arrested for cruel treatment of 7,000 animals on his farm and paid a $67 fine.
Likely at the suggestion of her local SPCA, Julia Lakavage decided to investigate the Green Dragon market for herself. On Friday, June 25, three days after Pepper vanished, Julia put her daughter Star and grandson Michael into the backseat of a finned, brown '60 Ford Fairlane with a green interior and drove an hour or so down to Ephrata.
Star, who was 14 at the time, remembers rows of wire crates at the Green Dragon auction. They were stacked two and three on top of one another, filled with dogs and goats, and left out in open areas without shade. The Lakavages visited at least one more auction in the days that followed. But Pepper was nowhere to be found. Jack Clark
Almost 200 miles away, in the Pennsylvania mountains near the Maryland border, a 77-year-old outdoorsman named Jack Clark was getting ready for his weekly animal swap. Jack was burly and gregarious, with a generous gut and a bald head. He lived out in the woods of Black Valley and kept by his house an extensive menagerie of woodland and other critters. There were pet raccoons and caged skunks, penned-up groundhogs and captured foxes. But above all, there were dogs.
Jack made his living as a dogcatcher, and he kept hundreds of his quarry boxed up by the creek out back. His grandkids remember seeing big dogs and little dogs on the property, mutts and purebreds, golden retrievers and Dalmatians. "I remember laying upstairs in bed at nighttime," recalls his grandson Terry, "and falling asleep to the sounds of the dogs barking."
Everyone in town knew Jack and his big, green pickup truck, with the wood-framed animal cab loaded on the back. When he was in the area, he'd stop in at Sponsler's Superette every few days to pick up meat scraps for the animals. Jack would come and go, disappearing one day and returning later in the week with 10 or 15 dogs in tow.
There was talk among the locals that Jack wasn't just picking up strays, that he'd steal dogs out of people's backyards and sell them off to medical labs in Philadelphia. But the county dog law enforcement officer—Fred Sponsler, who owned the Superette where Jack did his shopping—appears not to have filed any charges. Later on, Terry Clark and his sister Kay would conclude that their granddad had been carting live cargo to research labs in Harrisburg.
Jack's friends and fellow dealers would converge on his property every weekend to trade horses, goats, cats, and dogs while their children played on the ponies out back. It's impossible to know whether Jack Clark made a dogcatching expedition up to Slatington in June of 1965, but, one way or another, Pepper seems to have ended up at his weekly swap in Black Valley, on Sunday, June 27, five days after she disappeared.
By Tuesday, June 29, one week after her disappearance, Pepper was in the hands of Jack's good friend Bill Miller.
If you lived in Slatington, or Allentown, or just about anywhere in the region, the summer of 1965 would have been long and miserable. A four-year drought, made worse by a run of scorching, cloudless days, pushed New York City's reservoirs to half-capacity. Golf courses dried up, the rhododendrons and azaleas crumpled at the city's botanical gardens, trains and buses went unwashed, and the mayor proposed tapping the Hudson River for drinking water. In all that nasty summer, no single day was more vile than June 29. The temperature reached 95 degrees in the afternoon, the humidity 50 percent. The New YorkTimes pronounced that an "asphalt-softening, brain-fogging heat" had overtaken the city. And somewhere on the 170-mile stretch of Route 78 that runs from Harrisburg, Pa., to the New York state border, 18 dogs—including two boxers, a Weimaraner, several mixed collies, and a pair of female Dalmatians, one of them Pepper—were locked in a small enclosure on the back of Bill Miller's pickup truck, crammed inside with a pair of goats.
Bill Miller ran Broken Arrow Kennels out of McConnellsburg, a half-hour's drive east from Jack Clark's place in Black Valley. Like the other dealers in Clark's circle, Bill was an older guy—and a regular target for Humane Society investigators. In February 1964, Dale Hylton had visited his farm in the guise of a buyer for a Long Island hospital, successfully placing an order for 170 research dogs. The unsanitary conditions he found there were grounds for a search warrant, and he later returned with a constable to file charges of cruelty to animals. Miller would have another run-in with the authorities at the end of June 1965. He seems to have set off from McConnellsburg on Tuesday afternoon, a week after Pepper disappeared from the Lakavage farm, and made his way across the Susquehanna River on Interstate 81. From there he would have had a straight shot through Allentown and into New Jersey. But a few hours later, with Miller just moments away from crossing the New Jersey border, the local police in Easton pulled his truck off the road and asked to look in the back.
Distressed by the sight of 20 animals huddled in a cab with little ventilation, the cops wrote out a pair of tickets—$74 for overloading the vehicle and $10 more for "cruelty in transport"—and handed over the dogs and goats to the county animal shelter. Miller said he was on the way to Arthur Nersesian's research holding facility in High Falls, N.Y., and that he'd be back the next day to pick up his haul with a bigger truck. The shelter's proprietors agreed to release the animals if and when Miller could deliver the proper bills of sale. They photographed the dogs that night.
Miller returned to Easton Wednesday morning, as promised, with money to pay his fines and a larger vehicle. The shelter turned him away—the new truck had no air vents in the back, and he hadn't yet provided any documentation for the animals.
At 9:15 that evening, Miller showed up at the shelter once more—in a third, still-larger truck, a bundle of receipts in hand. The staff at the shelter went over the sales slips and, having stalled as long as they could, reluctantly turned over the cargo. Months later, Frank McMahon of the Humane Society would tell Congress that the receipts may have been forged. The next day, the Allentown Morning Call ran a story about the episode, under the headline "18 Dogs, 2 Goats Seized; Ownership Proof Sought." By that point, though, Pepper was back on the road.
Peter Lakavage knew his wife was frantic, but there was only so much he could do from a hospital bed in Allentown. Sometime in late June, Peter had suffered a heart attack, one of several he would have over the next few years. (The final, fatal blow came in 1969.) On the morning of Friday, July 2, Peter flipped open a copy of the Morning Call in his hospital room and saw an article following up on the previous day's story: "20 Animals Resume Their Trip." Among the dogs listed in the article were two purebred, female Dalmatians. Peter climbed out of bed and called his wife.
Julia dialed the Easton shelter as soon as she got the news. One of the impounded Dalmatians had been 8 months old, the shelter's proprietor told her, and the other was an adult. Julia could try to identify Pepper from the photographs taken Tuesday night, but those weren't due back from the developer until later in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the county SPCA had already gotten in touch with animal activists in Washington, D.C., and in upstate New York, where Miller said he was taking the dogs.
Within the hour, Julia had her grandson Michael and daughter Star in the back seat of the Ford Fairlane and Carol in the front, and they set off on the 130-mile drive to High Falls, N.Y. Star remembers stopping at pay phones along the way so her mom could arrange meetings in New York and make sure there was someone to cover her nursing shift at Good Shepherd.
The family arrived that afternoon at an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Ulster County. Star remembers the well-appointed houses and manicured gardens: "Here we were, this little family from god-awful nowhere on some farm," she says, "and these people from really nice homes were talking to my mom. … I thought, 'Holy cow, we're just looking for our dog—we just want to know what happened to our dog.' " Having conferred with members of the local humane groups, Julia drove out in search of the Nersesian farm.
At 2 that afternoon, she arrived with her children at the New York State Police station on the highway near Kerhonkson. Julia described her search for Pepper and asked for help. Would the troopers please come up to the farm on Clove Valley Road?
Arthur and Helena Nersesian in 1963
Arthur Nersesian was 55 years old, an avid boxing fan, and a retired New York City cop. For two decades he'd run down hoodlums out of the 3rd Precinct in Chinatown, but in 1957, he packed up his place in Queens and moved the family to a plot of land upstate, with a Dutch stone house, a couple of grain silos, and a gambrel-roofed barn.
The property was ringed with "No Trespassing" signs, and locals remember an alarm that went off whenever a vehicle entered the driveway. Nersesian had other ways of keeping out strangers. According to the Morning Call, he'd already filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against a New York SPCA unit for allegedly entering the farm without permission. The state troopers on Route 209 may well have known the Nersesians were selling dogs for research down in the city. (The family is still proud of the farm's contribution to the early heart-transplant studies in Brooklyn.) But there wasn't much the police could do when the Lakavages arrived that afternoon. A trooper informed Julia that a search would be impossible without a warrant, and there was no way to get a warrant without hard evidence that Pepper was on the premises. "She wasn't going to go out there," the trooper said later. "She was kind of upset because she was pretty attached to the dog."
With no way to get onto the Nersesian farm, Julia turned the car around. By Friday night, the family was back home in Slatington. Reporters called the house that night, but Julia was reluctant to discuss the case, fearing that too much publicity would put Pepper's life in danger. "It's just a long-shot chance," she said, finally. "I didn't mean to make trouble, I only wanted a chance to look at the dogs to see if my dog was there." Fay Brisk
At the offices of the humane societies and other animal welfare groups in Washington, 47-year-old Fay Brisk was known as the "dog dealers' Madame Defarge." A former member of the Women's Army Corps, Brisk had gotten kicked out of the military for marrying a fellow officer without permission, and took a job as an information specialist with the government. She was still on the federal payroll in the 1960s, detailed to the White House with the Small Business Administration. On weekends, though, Brisk would sometimes travel back to Berks County, Pa., where she grew up. There she would pursue her decadeslong obsession with animal welfare.
Brisk's hometown was just 20 miles from the dog-and-cat auctions of the Green Dragon, and she'd worked as a reporter for the Reading Eagle and the Philadelphia Record. Over the years she cultivated a rich network of sources and friends among the animal traders.
One of those sources tipped off Brisk about Julia Lakavage and the search for Pepper. She may have been following the events from her home in Georgetown, or it's possible she traveled to High Falls, N.Y., to meet Julia in person. In any event, she learned on the afternoon of July 2 that the Lakavages had been denied entry to the Nersesian farm and that the local authorities were reluctant to deliver a search warrant. She decided to take the matter to the Capitol.
Brisk called her friend Christine Stevens, founder and chief lobbyist of the Animal Welfare Institute. Stevens was elegant, cultivated, and as well-connected as anyone in Washington. Her husband, Roger, had worked closely with Presidents Kennedy and Johnson; a few months later, he would be tapped as the founding chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Stevens were also close with a patrician Pennsylvania senator named Joe Clark. At Christine's urging, Clark had introduced a series of unsuccessful laboratory-animal-care bills dating back to 1960.
Sen. Clark had all but shut down his office for the July 4 holiday. Weekend coverage fell to a junior staffer named Sara Ehrman. She answered when the call about Pepper came in late on Friday afternoon. Ehrman would eventually become a major player in the Democratic Party, a board member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and a close friend to the Clintons. But in the summer of 1965 she was a peon in Joe Clark's office. "I don't even like dogs," she says now, with renewed pique. But she passed on the message, and word came back from the senator: "Do what you're supposed to do for Christine."
Ehrman looked up the House representative for Ulster County, N.Y., and found Joseph Resnick—a crusading liberal who had just defeated a 14-year incumbent in an overwhelmingly Republican district. There couldn't have been a man in Congress more different in style from Joe Clark. Resnick was a high-school dropout, a former television repairman who had made tens of millions of dollars by inventing the preassembled, rotating TV antenna. According to the New York Times, the stocky, cigar-smoking business executive rode around in a "telephone-equipped gold-color Continental." His stint in Washington was brief—Resnick died of unspecified causes in a Las Vegas hotel room in 1969—but unusually productive. During four years in office, he worked up a distinguished résumé on civil rights and agricultural reform, and patented new machines for blow-molding and decorating plastic containers.
Resnick was eager to intercede for the Lakavages and their missing dog. He placed a call to Arthur Nersesian that same afternoon and made a personal request that Julia be allowed to check the premises. Not without a search warrant and charges in writing, the ex-cop replied.
Their exchange was described in the next day's Morning Call: "Stolen … Sold? Trail Leads to N.Y.—Love for Dog Stirs Two States."
Resnick was outraged. He contacted the FBI on Friday evening to find out if moving stolen dogs across state lines was a federal crime, and then he pressured the Ulster County district attorney's office for a search warrant. But Nersesian held firm, and no one set foot on his farm to look for Pepper.
There was a fog in Allentown on Monday, July 5, and thunderstorms delivered some much-needed rain. At some point during the holiday weekend, Fay Brisk had called the Pennsylvania state troopers, and soon the dog law enforcement officer down in Everett, Fred Sponsler, was investigating Pepper's whereabouts as well. Bill Miller told the authorities that he'd gotten the Dalmatian bitch from another friend of Jack Clark's named Russ Hutton, who'd bought the dog off Jack Clark. Sponsler said he couldn't find Clark to confirm the story, but he nevertheless concluded that Clark had gotten the dog in question from "an Altoona man who got rid of it for eating chickens."
In any case, Bill Miller revealed one more crucial detail. He'd never actually driven up to Nersesian's farm in High Falls, he admitted to the police. Instead, he'd loaded up his truck at the shelter in Easton on Wednesday night and gone straight into Manhattan. On the previous Thursday, June 30, he sold a dozen dogs and both goats to Einstein, St. Luke's, and Columbia hospitals. And then he drove up to the Bronx and unloaded the rest of the animals—including both Dalmatians—to Montefiore Hospital. He would have been paid about $15 for Pepper and perhaps $300 for the entire truckload of animals. The troopers gave Fay Brisk the news first, and she telephoned over to Montefiore that night. The switchboard operators told her no one was working in the animal quarters to answer her questions. Years later, Brisk would claim to have heard the jangling of dog tags at the other end of the line when she finally got through the next morning. Yes, someone at the hospital told her, the two Dalmatians did come in the previous week, but no, the older one was no longer there. On Friday, while Julia Lakavage was talking to the state troopers in Ulster County, her dog Pepper was splayed out on an operating table in a large building on Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. Medical researchers had tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker, but the procedure went awry, and she died. The dog's body had already been cremated.
A hospital spokesman explained later that the order had gone out for six male Dalmatians, to be paid for by weight. The dealer had brought in two females instead.
Pepper's journey in the summer of 1965 helped start a national media sensation and a broad panic over the theft of pets for biomedical research. Her death on an operating table in the Bronx would help animal welfare advocates break a long-standing stalemate in Congress and push through the most significant animal-protection bill in American history. At the same time, she became a martyr to the cardiology revolution at a crucial moment in its development. Pepper also represents a turning point in science, from an earlier age when animals for experiment would be plucked from the road or the river, to a new era of standardized, mass-produced organisms that can be shipped right to the laboratory door. In a five-part seriesto be published over the course of this week, Slate will explore her legacy.
Man Cuts Dog
Here's one way to give a dog heart block: Anesthetize it, flip it over, and make an incision along the midline of its chest. Crack open the sternum and pull apart the bone and muscle. It's best to use a dog of medium size, with short hair and a long torso—like a Dalmatian. You won't be able to accomplish very much while the dog's heart is full of blood, so tie off the venae cavae with a tourniquet to block the flow into the right atrium. Remember to move quickly, as the dog can endure only a few minutes in this predicament. (You can buy some extra time by presoaking the animal in a basin of ice water.) Disrupt the heart's conduction mechanism by sewing a single, black silk suture between the tricuspid valve—which separates the right atrium from the right ventricle—and the coronary sinus. Now untie the tourniquet to restore the flow of blood, and you're done. If all goes well, the dog will have lost the ability to pace its own heart.
Every year, 200,000 Americans, and more than 500,000 people worldwide, receive a permanent cardiac pacemaker as a treatment for heart block, bradycardia, or another heart-rhythm disorder. The ubiquity of the pacemaker has a lot to do with the elegance of the procedure now used to implant it: The whole operation takes just an hour or two, it can be performed under local anesthetic, and patients are sent home the next morning. The safe and simple technique—in which doctors make a small incision near the collarbone, open a vein, and slide the pacing leads directly into the heart—was invented more than 50 years ago by Seymour Furman, a young resident at Montefiore Hospital who was spending his afternoons in the dog lab. Early versions of the pacemaker were crude devices that attached to the external surface of the heart or the front of the patient's chest. A Boston physician named Paul Zoll installed one of the first modern devices in 1952. He wired up a pair of hypodermic needles and plunged them directly into a patient's skin. The pulse generator was a large, external box plugged into the wall. In 1957, an open-heart surgeon at the University of Minnesota started attaching the pacemaker leads directly to the cardiac muscle. This allowed the device to work at a much lower voltage—jolts from the earlier machine had sometimes blistered the patients' skin—but the electrodes were unstable, and it took major surgery to implant them. Seymour Furman's great insight was to combine the new field of cardiac pacing with a medical procedure that had only recently become mainstream, cardiac catheterization, in which a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel and advanced into the heart for diagnostic testing. The cardiac catheter had earned its inventers a Nobel Prize in 1956, and one of its early practitioners—Doris Escher—was Furman's mentor at Montefiore. With her guidance, he hoped to pass an electrode through the venous system to the right atrium, where he could pace the heart with more stability and less current than ever before. This would also eliminate the need for chest-cracking, open-heart surgery.
In the fall of 1957, Furman set to figuring out the details of his new procedure in the dog lab. The canine anatomy turned out to be perfect for the experiment: The dog's external jugular vein was large and easily accessible, and provided the catheter with a straight shot into the right ventricle. But before Furman could test the dogs with his new catheter leads, he'd have to open their hearts and induce an artificial block. That procedure proved to be dangerous: Of the 16 dogs assigned to Furman, only four survived. Bill Miller arrived with his truck at Montefiore Hospital on Thursday, July 1. He'd spent several days carting two goats and 18 dogs across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and had already sold most of the live cargo to medical centers in Manhattan. He unloaded the remaining animals that afternoon in the Bronx and set off for home. One of the animals carted into the clinic that day would later be identified as Pepper, the adult, female Dalmatian who had recently disappeared from the Lakavage family's 82-acre farm near Slatington, Pa. While her former owners searched for her in vain, it's likely that Pepper was being stowed in a kennel on the roof of the hospital. It's also likely that her vocal cords were severed when she arrived, leaving her unable to bark and howl in her final hours.
Pepper spent just one night in the Montefiore kennels. Sometime on July 2, she was brought down to the dog lab, anesthetized, and prepped for surgery. A hospital spokesman later told the newspapers that she'd been scheduled to receive an experimental pacemaker.
By the summer of 1965, Seymour Furman had already worked out the basics of transvenous pacing. His technique enjoyed a significant following overseas, and the American medical device company Medtronic had just introduced its first commercial pacemaker with catheter leads. But there were plenty of problems still to be solved. Batteries died, pulse generators would fail, and patients had to make frequent return visits for follow-up surgeries. That year, the Atomic Energy Commission would start work on a durable, nuclear-powered pacemaker. (The first of these was implanted in a dog in 1969.) When Pepper arrived at Montefiore, Furman was hard at work developing his own, more permanent device, and he needed animals for testing.
On that Friday, Pepper's chest would have been opened like the other dogs, her sternum separated, and her venae cavae tied off to empty her heart of blood. It's not clear when or how the procedure went wrong. Perhaps the surgeons couldn't finish the operation in time to restore her circulation. Or maybe the induced heart block was too severe. Whatever happened, the experiment was a failure: Pepper died on the table.
The loss of a single Dalmatian meant little to the pacemaker program at Montefiore. The new prototypes would be tested on another dog, and another, and many more; Furman's research yielded plenty of discoveries in the years that followed. (To name just one: In 1967, he devised a way to check the function of an implanted device automatically over the telephone.)
Not even the doctors who were performing these experiments understood just how important the new inventions would soon become. Heart disease was already America's leading cause of death in 1965, as it had been since about 1930. But few cardiologists at the time had ever seen a case of heart block—most of its victims were elderly people with modest access to medical care, and they were dying before anyone could make a diagnosis.
That all began to change with the invention of Medicare. On July 9, less than a week after Pepper's death, the Senate voted to make health insurance universal for elderly Americans. Nineteen million patients enrolled in the program the following year, and it soon became obvious how many adults were suffering from slow heartbeats in their old age. Now, for the first time, there was enough money to treat them all.
The particulars of Pepper's death scarcely mattered to the revolution in cardiology. But her final moments on the operating table do carry their own historical resonance: Medical science as we know it today—constructed on a framework of experimentation, observation, and reason—had begun in much the same way a few centuries before, with a dog laid on its back, its breast cut open, and its heart snipped in two.
What might easily be called the founding experiments of modern medicine were conducted in the first decades of the 17th century, by English physician William Harvey. His crucial discovery that blood circulates in a closed system began with a series of gory demonstrations on the bodies of living animals. For one, he would expose the beating heart of a dog, horse, or other creature and puncture its left ventricle. The geyser of blood that erupted with each contraction suggested that the motion present in the arteries and veins wasn't mere sloshing about, as had been the theory, but rather the result of a "forceful systole" of the heart.
Those skeptical of Harvey's conclusions opened the bodies of living dogs to see for themselves, and according to historian and philosopher of science Rom Harré, the dog soon became a standard instrument for the study of circulation. By the mid-1660s, Christopher Wren had devised a method for the intravenous injection of chemicals—opium and Spanish wine, to start with—into the bloodstream of a dog, and Richard Lower had performed the first successful blood transfusion by using a chain of quills to connect the artery of one dog to the jugular vein of another. Laika the space dog
The dog remained a vital tool in biomedical research for more than 300 years and was the vehicle for a remarkable run of medical breakthroughs. Ernest Starling's research on dogs led him to declare the existence of "hormones" in 1905. In 1921, Canadians Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin as a treatment for their colony of dogs with surgery-induced diabetes. In 1923, George Whipple used a Dalmatian-English bulldog cross to create a model of pernicious anemia, then cure the disease with supplements of liver. * And shortly before Pepper's death, a stray mutt plucked from the streets in Moscow became the first animal to be launched into orbit. Though that dog died from stress and overheating only a few hours into the mission, the feasibility of human spaceflight was reported around the world.
By the 1960s, Furman and his colleagues at Montefiore Hospital were using a few hundred dogs for research every year, while larger institutions went through as many as 9,000. Rep. Joseph Resnick, the upstate lawmaker who attempted to intervene on behalf of the Lakavages on the very day that Pepper was killed, would later assert to the newspapers (and his fellow members of Congress) that the annual number of dogs used in federally funded research had reached 1.75 million.But the dog-napping of Pepper marked the beginning of the end of canine experimentation. Outrage over her demise, and the theft and killings of other family pets, would soon turn public opinion—and federal law—against the use of dogs in biomedical research. Meanwhile, the rapid growth of American science after World War II had already created a new industry in purpose-bred, standardized lab animals—and the thriving trade in stray mutts and stolen pets would soon be replaced by an assembly line of laboratory flies, rats, and mice. Pepper's death in the summer of 1965 signaled the end of an era.
Pepper Goes to Washington
Rep. Joseph Resnick planned to take Pepper's story to the Capitol even before anyone knew she was dead. The cigar-chomping congressman had been recruited to Pepper's cause on Friday, July 2, 1965, when a Pennsylvania family, the Lakavages, arrived in his upstate New York district in search of their missing Dalmatian. A local dealer had refused to let the family search his farm, and Resnick's appeals—to the dealer, the state troopers, and even the FBI—had come to nothing.
It soon emerged that the stolen pet never made it upstate. Pepper had been sold instead to a research hospital in the Bronx and her chest cut open in a botched test of a new cardiac pacemaker. Resnick commended Julia Lakavage, who drove 130 miles with her daughters and grandson in an effort to find Pepper, for "following through" and promised that he would take up their cause as "dog's best friend" in Washington.
Seven days after Pepper's death, Resnick introduced a dog-napping bill on the House floor. He wanted government licensing for the dealers and laboratories that traded in dogs and cats, and proposed that the theft of these animals be made a federal offense. For Resnick's colleagues in the House, the bill, born in a moment of outrage on the eve of the holiday weekend, must have seemed almost grotesque in its insignificance. On the very day it was introduced, they approved the Voting Rights Act, while the Senate agreed to add Medicare to the Social Security program. Yet little H.R. 9743—Pepper's law—would elicit more public engagement in the months that followed than either of these watershed measures. Resnick's bill broke a grueling stalemate over animal-welfare legislation and broke open a dispute that had lingered for 20 years between humanitarian activists and the emergent biomedical industry.
On Aug. 24, 1966, the president signed a more ambitious version of the proposal into law. But that was just the beginning. What began as a measure to prevent pet theft would soon become the most comprehensive animal-welfare legislation in U.S. history.
Ruff may have been a stray, or he may have been stolen; in any case, the article that accompanied his photograph in the New York Times hardly dwelled upon his provenance—the animal was identified only as "a friendly dog of uncertain ancestry" who had somehow ended up in the hands of the brilliant, Brooklyn-based heart surgeon, Adrian Kantrowitz. In 1958, Kantrowitz had dissected out the left half of Ruff's diaphragm, along with its major nerves and blood vessels, and wrapped the whole assemblage around his aorta. This "booster heart" could be stimulated to rhythmic contractions by a set of implanted, radio-controlled electrodes. At the time of his publicity photo, Ruff had survived for 18 months after the operation; now he was being honored for his efforts with a silver collar and official designation as the "Research Dog Hero Award" winner for 1959.
The silver collar, sometimes called the "Nobel Prize of dogdom," had been concocted in 1946 by the National Society for Medical Research, as part of a broad effort to defend the practice of animal experimentation from its most vocal critics. Those critics—the so-called "anti-vivisectionists"—had a powerful ally in William Randolph Hearst, who used his network of newspapers to editorialize against sadistic "dog torturers." Scientists believed it would take a major publicity campaign to overcome Hearst's hostile media empire, and the silver collar was one of their tactics.
Concern over animal welfare surged in the years after World War II, as the practice of biomedical research moved out of the private labs and become a massive public enterprise. The National Institutes of Health were consolidated in 1944 under the Public Health Service Act, and over the two decades that followed—running up until the time that Pepper was stolen in Pennsylvania—its budget rose more than 30,000 percent, from $2.8 million in 1945 to almost $1 billion in 1965.
That money was feeding a biomedical research establishment with an insatiable need for live animal subjects. To fill the empty cages in Bethesda, Md., and elsewhere, the NSMR lobbied for the enactment of "pound seizure" laws, allowing the forcible appropriation for research of any unclaimed strays that would otherwise be put to death. The first pound seizure laws were passed by the Minnesota Legislature in 1948, and many more followed. New York's Hatch-Metcalf Act allowed the seizure of cats and dogs not only from municipal pounds but from any private shelters holding government contracts.
These government incursions—and the rapid growth of the NIH—inflamed both animal-welfare activists and right-wing radicals. The two groups shared a deep suspicion of modern science and the growing power of technocrats in Washington. William Randolph Hearst straddled whatever line might have separated them, speaking out against animal research and warning his readers against New Deal bureaucracy and liberal academia. The anti-vivisection movement at large had at least incidental sympathies during this postwar era, with the reactionary (and sometimes anti-Semitic) campaigns against fluoridation and the polio vaccine.
(The same right-wing rhetoric was also marshaled against the animal activists, who were attacked for being Communists or worse—Hitler and Mussolini were well-known vegetarians. A 1950 editorial from the Los Angeles Times growled that "the fanatics who oppose animal experimentation for sentimental reasons are being joined, and in some part led, by Communists and Communist sympathizers interested in sabotaging national defense.")
Christine Stevens at the Humane Society of Washtenaw County, Mich., in the 1950s
Meanwhile, the burgeoning animal rights community gave rise to a Python-esque set of rival factions. The pound-seizure bills divided the moderates of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who were content to let scientists use unwanted strays in place of purpose-bred animals, from the hard-liners in the National Anti-Vivisection Society, who were opposed to any animal research whatsoever. In 1951, D.C. activist Christine Stevens formed the Animal Welfare Institute with the express purpose of charting a "middle course" on animal research; she supported the use of pound animals but only for acute experiments under full anesthesia. Three years later, a dispute over whether and how to address pound seizure broke up the American Humane Association, with a dissident faction going on to become the Humane Society of the United States. That group was itself divided in 1959, when one founder departed to form the Catholic Society for Animal Welfare.
The National Society for Medical Research continued its lobbying efforts and red-baiting publicity campaigns throughout the 1950s, but despite its divisions the animal-welfare movement—like other progressive causes of the time—was growing in strength. By the time the society gave Ruff its silver collar in New York, Christine Stevens and the rest of the dog lovers were ready to make their push in Congress.
The beagles in the basement were kept there by the hundreds, locked in cages 2.5 feet wide and 3 feet long. In November 1959, just a month before Ruff's photo shoot, nationally syndicated journalist Ann Cottrell Free published her first account of the animal quarters at the South Building of the Department of Agriculture, where government scientists tested food dyes on animals that were deprived of exercise for years at a time. "Hundreds of dogs flung themselves against the bars of their cages, piled tier on tier," she wrote. "They were barking, screaming, whining, mute—and drooped their heads in the dark corners. Others circled ceaselessly in their cages." The revelation that dogs—adorable beagles!—were being so cruelly mistreated just a 20-minute stroll down Independence Avenue from the Capitol Building had an immediate impact. Free distributed her articles to key members of the Senate appropriations committee, and Congress soon delivered $100,000 for new animal quarters in Beltsville, Md. During the same congressional session, Sen. John Cooper introduced the first comprehensive federal bill to protect laboratory animals.
Sen. Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania
Prohibitions against cruelty to animals had been on the books of every state in the union (plus Alaska and Hawaii) since the start of World War I, but most of these were based on a New York statute from 1867, drafted by the gentleman activist and founder of the ASPCA, Henry Bergh. That law, and many of those that followed, made a point of excluding animals subject to "properly conducted scientific experiments or investigations."
Cooper's 1960 bill would have established animal-care standards for any facility receiving federal research grants. Authored by Abe Fortas (a few years before he was named to the Supreme Court), the proposal drew heavily from the United Kingdom's Cruelty to Animals Act of 1876, which required that all users of laboratory animals register with the government and make annual reports of their research. An additional certification was required for anyone who wanted to perform painful experiments and yet another for painful work with dogs or cats.
Those terms may seem rather modest by today's standards, but in 1960 they set off a long debate over the extent to which scientific progress had been retarded by the laws in Britain. Indignant testimonials from British scientists were read before Congress, and the results of British surveys were published in the New York Times. American researchers attributed their extraordinary breakthroughs in open-heart and thoracic surgery to liberal policies on the use of dogs, and the Brits countered that they had, in fact, received more Nobel Prizes for Physiology or Medicine than the Yanks, per capita.
In any case, Cooper's bill—which had the support of Christine Stevens and the Animal Welfare Institute—was ridiculed by hard-core anti-vivisectionists, who lobbied against it as "a snare, a delusion and a fraud." A more restrictive version favored by the Humane Society soon followed, along with a scaled-down bid from the American Humane Association and an NSMR-backed pitch for the upgrade of government-funded animal facilities. Laboratory-animal bills of all types would be introduced by the dozens over the next five years; newspaper endorsements piled up. While angry debates raged among the animal rights activists, not a single proposal came close to being passed.
"Passions were high," remembered Ann Cottrell Free, "because nothing was happening." Then came Pepper.
Congress had little interest, at first, in the fact that someone's dog had perished in a medical experiment. It was Pepper's 10-day ordeal in the hands of scurrilous dog dealers that had inflamed Rep. Joseph Resnick and her journey across interstate highways that inspired his "dog-napping" bill in the summer of 1965. At hearings in September, he dispelled any notion that his proposal was intended to aid the anti-vivisectionists: "This bill is concerned entirely with the theft of dogs and cats," he said, "and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the indescribably filthy conditions in which they are kept by the dealer."
Indeed, the law didn't seem to have much bearing on the issues that were most important to animal-welfare groups. It focused only on dogs and cats and gave enforcement authority to the Department of Agriculture, which had close ties to the livestock industry. Worse, it took no position on the actual practice of research—all regulation would stop at the laboratory door. For Christine Stevens and her fellow moderates, though, the pet-theft bill was a chance to move forward. They knew Pepper's story would strike a chord with the American public. Dog ownership was on the rise through the 1960s—one study found it increased by more than one-third—and stolen purebreds had been the subject of the enormously popular 1961 Walt Disney feature, 101 Dalmatians. ( Lady and the Tramp, with its own sad portrayal of canines in captivity, was reissued in 1962.)
In a matter of weeks, eight more dog-napping bills were brought to the floor of the House, and Joe Clark—whose office took the first call on Pepper's disappearance—introduced one in the Senate. By the following spring, Resnick's bill had spawned a total of 33 others.
Stories of pet theft multiplied just as rapidly in the newspapers. After tracing Pepper to Montefiore Hospital in July, activist Fay Brisk turned her attention to a purebred, black-and-white English setter that had vanished from a farm in Boyce, Va. That dog turned up at the NIH in Bethesda and was returned to its owner in August. A few months later, Brisk found a stolen Irish setter named Reds at a hospital in New York and sent him home to a family in suburban Philadelphia. Then there was Alvin, a black cocker from New Jersey, and Peanuts, a German shepherd from Falls Church, Va. Life Magazine article from Feb. 4, 1966
The most significant contribution to the dog-napping panic arrived in February 1966, when Life magazine released an eight-page photo essay, "Concentration Camps for Dogs." (A cover line warned, "Your dog is in cruel danger.") Life photographer Stan Wayman had joined Humane Society investigators on a raid of a dog dealer's farm in Maryland, where animals were chained to wooden boxes and left out in the cold to feed on frozen entrails. Christine Stevens distributed a copy of the article to every member of Congress.
Lawmakers claimed to be getting more mail on the subject of dog-napping than they were on Vietnam: The Senate commerce committee received 20,000 letters over the 12-month period beginning with Pepper's death; the House agriculture committee counted 60,000. At the beginning of March 1966, the House held two days of hearings to sort through the growing stack of animal welfare bills. The Humane Society's Dec Hogan testified to the ugly details of the raid in Maryland: The dealer, he said, "showed us a beagle, blind in one eye and pus running from the other." According to the New York Times, the huge hearing room was crammed with spectators, and the crowd spilled out into the hallway. Meanwhile, the medical establishment was in retreat. The NSMR abandoned its Research Dog Hero program in 1965, the same year that one of its two founders was charged with fraud by the FDA. In the face of the publicity surrounding Pepper and the Life photo spread, the research lobby changed tactics: Now it would try only to moderate whatever bill was coming down the pipe. Scientists had good reason to worry. By that point, Resnick's original proposal to prevent the theft of dogs and cats had been expanded to cover the treatment of all warm-blooded laboratory animals, stolen or not.
Lobbyists for the universities and hospitals succeeded, at first, in scaling back the bill's most ambitious provisions, but a last-minute push in the Senate restored some of what had been stripped away. When the final version of the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act was signed into law in August 1966, its guarantees of humane treatment extended both to the dealers' premises and to the research holding facilities where animals were kept before experiments. It now applied to every dog, cat, monkey, rabbit, hamster, and guinea pig in federally funded labs. For the activists, though, Pepper's law was at best a foot in the door. The act protected the animals where they were housed, but it had no impact on their treatment inside the lab, where some of the most distressing cruelties were taking place. "This was the breakthrough and end of stalemate," said Free. "We decided, Well, we'll just have to go ahead and year after year, whenever we can, amend it and strengthen it, amend it and strengthen it."
That's just what they did.
Brown Dogs and Red Herrings
On a balmy June morning in 2007, a pair of Pennsylvania congressmen gathered their colleagues in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building to show them a video. The lawmakers watched excerpts from a documentary that had aired on HBO the previous winter, about an unscrupulous dog dealer in Arkansas who was selling animals to laboratories. About 40 years after Pepper's story prompted the first federal dog-napping law, the wheels were in motion on another. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., introduced the film: "It's hard to believe that someone would steal people's pets and treat them this way." Despite the film, the Pet Safety and Protection Act failed to pass in 2007, just as it has on a nearly annual basis for the last 13 years. Should it ever succeed, the law would ban the sale of any dogs and cats for research by "Class B" dealers—those who collect or buy their animals rather than breeding them themselves. (If such a designation had existed in 1965, it would have applied to the three men—Jack Clark, Russ Hutton, and Bill Miller—who handled Pepper during her 10-day journey to the dog lab.) That's not an unreasonable goal—as the HBO special showed, the Class B dealers are almost certainly engaging in some shady practices—but it hardly seems worth the sustained efforts of the nation's top animal welfare advocates. To put things in perspective, only about a dozen of these dealers remain in business, and they sold fewer than 3,000 dogs to research labs in 2008. Those dogs, stolen or not, represent just afew thousandths of 1 percent of all the animals used by American scientists.
It's not too long ago that dogs and cats mattered a great deal to the practice of biomedical research. Today they're barely relevant—a tiny, shrinking line item on an enormous ledger of death. Something like 100 million animals are killed in experiments every year in the United States, yet groups like the Humane Society of the United States and the Animal Welfare Institute continue to treat a handful of pet thefts as a keystone issue. How did a broad struggle for the ethical treatment of lab animals turn into a border skirmish over missing pets?
Dogs were already a favorite of scientists when live-animal experimentation became widespread in the mid-19th century. Bred for docility over many thousands of years, the dog evolved as an ideal animal for the lab, simple to feed and house and poke and slice. It was also easy enough to imagine man's best friend as a stand-in (and a physiological model) for people: What's true for Pepper must be true for us; her heart must beat like mine.
Potential test subjects were everywhere in the early days of vivisection. A fascinating paper by historian Bert Hansen describes how American cities of the Gilded Age were beset with stray and wild dogs. In 1885, the New York Herald guessed there were some 300,000 in Manhattan and another 150,000 in neighboring Brooklyn. The scourge invited open brutality: Police officers were empowered to shoot dogs in the midst of rabies panics, and captured strays were crammed into cages and drowned in the East River.
From the start, though, the use of dogs for violent laboratory experiments disturbed a bourgeois sensibility that associated them—or at least the purebreds—with family and the comforts of domestic life. (Many years later, Julia Lakavage would tell reporters that Pepper and her other dogs were "like family members … children that don't grow up.") That notion extended to the very upper reaches of society: Queen Victoria of England—whose menagerie of pets included Skye terriers Islay, Cairnach, and Dandie Dinmot; King Charles spaniel Dash; greyhound Nero; mastiff Hector; and many more—was well-known to be suspicious of the new science of animal experimentation. In 1875, the year before the passage of Britain's Cruelty to Animals Act, Victoria asked Joseph Lister to speak out against vivisection: "The Queen has been dreadfully shocked at the details of some of these practices," her secretary wrote, "and is most anxious to put a stop to them."
The court watches a reconstruction of William Bayliss's physiology lecture during the 1903 trial over the "Brown Dog Affair."
By the first decade of the 20th century, the plight of research dogs had become the principal cause for animal activists, who singled them out on account of their vulnerable nature—and the ease with which they could be used to elicit public support. In February 1903, a pair of Swedish animal lovers slipped into a medical demonstration at University College London and watched physiologist William Bayliss cut open the neck of a brown dog. In their published account of the episode, they claimed that the animal had suffered under improper anesthesia. Riots erupted after a monument was erected to the anonymous brown dog. (Tensions over the "brown dog affair" have been revived in England several times since.)
Scientists responded to the furor over experimental dogs with anger and derision. Historian Susan Lederer cites a 1910 screed by a New York physician who accused the anti-vivisectionists of suffering from a kind of "zoophilic psychosis": They "interest themselves not so much in experiments upon fishes, insects, pigeons, rats, mice, snakes, nor in cruelties to men, cattle, chickens, and sheep," he wrote. "Their interests are bent towards those useless animals which can be made the objects of fondling and which compared with other animals play a minor role in the great field of scientific experimentation."
Within a few years, the concern over experimental dogs crystallized into a fear that pets were being stolen and sold to research institutions. The specter of "dog-napping" became central to the activist rhetoric starting in the 1910s, says Lederer, and soon showed up in animal-welfare exhibitions and pamphlets with titles like Guard Your Dog. Meanwhile, the dog-theft meme percolated through the media—and not only in the newspapers of ardent anti-vivisectionist William Randolph Hearst. In the early 1920s, the New York Times offered regular coverage of a gang of "auto-pirates" who pilfered more than 150 animals from wealthy estates on Long Island. That story, and others like it, were summed up in a Times headline from February 1922: "Stealing Fine Dogs a Regular Industry … Most Intelligent of Their Kind, but Have Never Learned How Not To Be Stolen."
The epidemic of pet theft received intermittent coverage over the next few decades. With the re-emergence of the animal welfare movement in the 1960s—and the disappearance of Pepper in Pennsylvania—it became a national story.
At the turn of the century, animal activists organized their campaigns around research dogs and cats, but science was already moving in a new direction. Mendel's ideas had been rediscovered in 1900 and the term genetics coined in 1906; the new science of heredity created a sudden need for organisms whose exact ancestry was known and controlled. Within a few years, the perception and practice of biomedical research had begun to diverge: While humane societies were worrying about missing pets, researchers were shifting to a new set of standardized, purpose-bred laboratory organisms—the rat, the mouse and the fruit fly.
The standardization of laboratory animals reflected the growing influence of industrial engineering in America. Under the new paradigm, research organisms could be seen as a sort of raw material for use in a knowledge assembly line. Just 10 or 20 years earlier, a physiologist might have conducted his experiments on a variety of species—frogs and rabbits, for example, or dogs, horses, and baboons—to show that a finding could be generalized across the whole of creation. Now, whatever could be demonstrated in a rat or a mouse was assumed to be true of a dog, a horse, or a human. The growth of statistical science also changed the nature of laboratory work: Now it was advantageous to increase your N by repeating an experiment as many times as you could on as many animals as were available.
Biomedical science became even more industrialized during the postwar period as government money flowed through the pumped-up National Institutes of Health. Grants officers realized that animals could be most efficiently distributed if they were churned out in large numbers at a few, centralized locations. Meanwhile, the organisms themselves had begun to be packaged as commercial products: In 1941, the breeders at the Jackson Laboratory in Maine received a patent on their line of "JAX Mice" research animals; a year later, the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia trademarked its own line of "WISTARATs." Experimental dogs had been well-suited to the old-fashioned, artisanal mode of inquiry—William Harvey cutting open a heart, Christopher Wren pumping a vein full of wine, Richard Lower transfusing blood with a chain of quills. But as an instrument of modern science, they were starting to look obsolete. The economics of breeding dogs were one problem: In 1965, the year Pepper was taken, a dog could be raised and maintained in a research lab for about 70 cents per day. At that rate, though, it would cost more than $250 to produce a single, sexually mature animal. A stray with uncertain heritage could be had from a dealer for just $15, which explains why hospitals were buying dogs like Pepper to begin with.
That's not to say dogs didn't have their niche in biomedicine. Medical schools, in particular, made ample use of them for education and research in surgery and cardiology. And many of the landmark studies on anemia, diabetes, hemophilia, and cardiothoracic surgery used dogs. But by the time of Pepper's death, there was already a move toward replacing canines on the operating table with a brand-new model organism—the miniature pig. The hairless and docile Yucatan mini-pig had been introduced to the United States in 1960, and the University of Missouri opened a dedicated miniature swine production facility in 1965.
Like dogs, miniature pigs were big enough to operate on but not so big that they couldn't be housed and handled. Porcine skin turned out to be so similar to our own that it could be used as a temporary patch for burn patients and a vehicle for the study of melanoma. Mini-pigs were also excellent subjects for the study of cardiovascular fitness, atherosclerosis, obesity, and diabetes.
A total of 260,000 dogs were used by U.S. labs in 1967, the year that Pepper's dog-napping law took effect. Over the next four decades, that number would drop by almost 75 percent. Surely some of that decline has come in response to continuing pressure from animal-welfare activists. (Research on miniature pigs isn't as likely to draw angry protests.) More significant, though, was the fact that science itself had changed.
The Laboratory Animal Welfare Act passed in 1966 gave some protection to a small number of species in limited settings. But the animal rights activists, emboldened by success, were soon able to broaden its scope. The first major amendments arrived in 1970; from then on, the law would be known simply as the "Animal Welfare Act," and its reach extended to circuses, zoos, shows, and wholesale pet dealers. The laboratories, too, had new responsibilities: Where the 1966 version had applied only to research holding facilities—with cage-size and feeding requirements, for example—now the experiments themselves were subject to humane standards, including pain management whenever possible. But what might have been the most significant change to Pepper's law was a broadening of the very definition of the word animal. Instead of protecting only the most lovable critters—dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs—the new law could be taken to apply to every other warm-blooded animal used in the lab.
That dramatic mandate was handed over to Dale Schwindaman, a federal veterinarian who had been summoned to Washington four years earlier to help draft the original regulations related to Pepper's law. It hadn't been easy for the Department of Agriculture to enforce the original act; now Schwindaman had to figure out how to address a raft of new responsibilities.
The numbers were grim. A laboratory-animal survey conducted by the National Academies of Science found that the original covered species—the cute animals—made up just 7 percent of the total used in U.S. labs. In addition to the 260,000 dogs, there were 100,000 cats and 800,000 hamsters. But there were 30 million rats and mice. "The job was too big," Schwindaman says. Full coverage of warm-blooded species would have given the USDA the obligation to supervise every last junior college that used rodents or chick embryos for teaching. "The math just did not allow it. … We couldn't use the National Guard to make all of these inspections. We didn't have the force." With Schwindaman's help, the USDA put in place in 1972 a special exemption for rats, mice, and birds, allowing scientists to treat them however they saw fit—in cages of any size, in experiments with any degree of pain and suffering. That exemption remains in force, despite Schwindaman's later attempts to overturn it. To this day, 95 percent of the animals used in research labs receive no federal protection whatsoever under the Animal Welfare Act.
In the fall of 2001, an undercover animal activist took a job cleaning rat and mouse cages on the Chapel Hill campus of the University of North Carolina. Over the next six months, she would collect more than 40 hours of footage on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals with a camera hidden under her lab coat. The video showed researchers marking newborn mice by amputating their toes and cutting the brains from baby rats without anesthesia. Rodents were trampled to death in overcrowded cages, left to die in garbage bins, or allowed to suffer with swollen tumors and open sores.
The USDA had just agreed, in 2000, to extend laboratory-animal protections to rodents and birds. (The decision, by Agriculture Secretary Daniel Glickman, came out of a legal settlement with animal rights groups, which had sued the government over its arbitrary redefinition of the term animal almost 30 years before.) By the spring of 2002, PETA was already fighting to keep the old rule from coming back. Sen. Jesse Helms had added a line to that year's Farm Bill that would make the exclusion of purpose-bred rats, mice, and birds a matter of federal law. ("A rodent could do a lot worse than live out its life span in research facilities," he said.) The footage from Chapel Hill—which PETA sent to every member of the conference committee—did little to change the debate: When Congress reached a final agreement on the Farm Bill a week later, the Helms amendment was still in place. Protection for rats, mice, and birds had once again been stripped from the Animal Welfare Act.
"That was such an enormous disappointment," says PETA's director of laboratory investigations, Kathy Guillermo. The story of a single dog had once been enough to pass the country's most important animal-welfare law, but evidence of repeated rodent abuse in a government-funded lab barely made the news. "It's because it's mice and rats," Guillermo says. How do you protect an animal that most Americans would be happy to kill themselves with glue traps, even, or poison?
1937 Life Magazine cover story about C.C. Little's cancer research mice
The rodents' PR problem helps explain how they came to infest science and medicine in the first place. C.C. Little, the inventor of the modern lab mouse and founder of the Jackson Laboratory, had long used "the age old enmity of woman and the Muridae" as a sales pitch for his model organism. Writing in American Naturalist in 1939, he noted that "it has been difficult to keep at fever heat a sufficient level of sympathy for the rodent similar to that which the dog or cat engenders." Indeed, when controversy erupted over Pepper's death in 1965, Little's company was quietly supplying physiologists with close to 1 million mice every year. (Today, the sales of rats and mice dominate a $1.4 billion global market in laboratory animals.)
For 100 years or more, scientists and activists had traded blows over the ethics and practice of research on dogs and cats. Through all that back-and-forth, lab rodents were always left just across the moral frontier of live-animal experimentation—close enough to humans to remain a meaningful source of knowledge but not so close that we couldn't slaughter them in droves. Yet it's not obvious—to those who might consider the question—that the welfare of a rat or mouse is any less important than that of a dog. Recent research suggests that the health of mice improves when they're given cage toys, running wheels, and crawl tubes to play with. Rats can learn to respond to a name and recognize individual people. We might quarrel over the inner lives of honeybees or river trout, but is the suffering of our fellow mammals really in question? Meanwhile, rats and mice are subject to some of the most extreme and invasive experiments in biomedicine. By the early 1980s, we were spiking mouse DNA with cancer-causing genes; a few years later, we started to "knock out" specific lines of genetic code. (Scientists mapped out the entire mouse genome in 2002 and the rat genome in 2004.) We regularly subject rodents to pain, starvation, solitary confinement, and grotesque disfigurement. Whatever misery they endure is multiplied across the hundreds of millions of rats and mice used in labs every year. The animal-welfare groups have failed in their most ambitious efforts to protect laboratory rodents. "We did and do strongly support the inclusion of rats and mice," says Cathy Liss, current president of the Animal Welfare Institute. "But the question is how can we properly address that? At this juncture, it's premature to go forward and rally support." With rodents off the table, though, it's not clear what's left for the activists to do.
Me and My Monkey
My research monkey had a pink face, dark eyes, sandy fur, and a 2-inch titanium rod screwed into the top of his skull. His name was Clayton.
It's customary to name research macaques in alphabetical order according to when they arrived at the lab. Clayton showed up after Axel and Bongo and ahead of Duper, Einstein, and Freud—but whatever institutional seniority he had meant little in the monkey room. Clayton, a juvenile, was skittish and shy, submissive as a rule, and generally afraid to leave his cage. When I'd finally manage to coax him out, he would leap straight into the "monkey chair," preferring enclosure in a small, plastic box to the thought of ambling across the laboratory floor.
Though he hardly needed it, Clayton was leashed even for these short trips from cage to chair. I'd hook a chain to his collar and slide it through a loop at the end of a 3-foot pole so he couldn't get close enough to bite or scratch. Macaques can harbor the deadly herpes B virus, and it's generally forbidden to approach one that's unrestrained and un-anaesthetized. Though Clayton and I spent hours together every day, I never so much as touched his fur during an experimental session. If he came to recognize me—and I believe he did—it was despite the surgical mask, goggles, hair net, and other safety accoutrements of any visit to the monkey room.The monkey chair wasn't much bigger than the animals themselves, and Clayton's head poked out through sliding panels at the top. I'd roll him in front of a computer monitor and fasten his protruding metal post to an external frame. With his skull fixed in place, only his eyes could move to follow the targets that zipped across the screen. (By tracking the direction of Clayton's gaze, I'd hoped to learn something about how smooth pursuit eye movements are controlled in the brain.) His eyes would follow me, though, as I loaded up the software and filled his juice dispenser; sometimes I'd place a jelly bean or a raisin delicately on the edge of his mouth, which he'd gobble up before flashing his gums in the deferential gesture of silent bared teeth. I talked to Clayton, too, trying to keep him entertained. But every once in a while he'd show his impatience with a gesture that was disturbingly human: I remember the day he crossed his legs on the shelf of the chair and started strumming his fingernails against the wall.
The one time I held Clayton in my arms, he was asleep and swaddled in a blanket. He'd just undergone a minor surgery, probably to repair a broken eye coil. (Most of the monkeys in the lab had a thin wire implanted under one eyelid that could be used to track their eye movements.) As a junior graduate student, I wasn't allowed to do more than observe the procedure, but when it was done, one of the postdocs lifted Clayton off the table and beckoned me over. I was to carry him back to the monkey room and deposit him gently into a cage before the anesthesia wore off.
For the first time, I felt the shape of his body—the outline of his little shoulders and spindly legs. For weeks we'd interacted across bars and through thick plastic; now I had him cradled him against my chest, his eyes closed and his head tucked into the crook of my arm. He was about the size and weight of a newborn baby; with the blanket wrapped around him, only his pink face was showing, and his eyelids fluttered as I carried him down the hall.
I rocked Clayton back and forth as we made our way to the monkey room. The rest of the animals were stored in interlocking cages, stacked two high on either side; a television in the corner was showing The Lion King on an endless loop. Axel, Bongo, and the other macaques watched as I squatted next to an open enclosure, with the bundle now nestled in my lap. I pulled one end of the blanket and began slowly to unwrap it. First once around and then again—the monkey was stirring now, his head rolling from side to side—and then the blanket was open, laid across my thighs, and there was Clayton's naked body in full view. His chest wasn't soft and pink like a baby's but tan and rugged. He had a tattoo across his abdomen of letters and numbers like the ones painted on houses in the aftermath of Katrina. And further down, nestled amid the light fur of his thighs, lay his penis—hardly the smooth, unformed genitalia of a baby but something like that of a fully grown man, shrunken down to the size of a crayon and adorned with a pair of swollen, red testicles.
A quiver went through Clayton's whole body as I took in this sight, and then a stream of liquid erupted from his groin, gradually building like a fountain that's just been switched on. An arc of urine splashed against my shoulder—and suddenly the monkey room was bedlam. Macaques began to throw themselves against the walls in a cacophony of shrieks and crashes. One animal in the upper tier started doing back flips; his neighbor stepped toward the front of his cage, turned in my direction, and started urinating, too.
I placed Clayton's small body into his cage, locked the door, and retreated to the safety of the hallway. The postdoc who had assigned me this task smiled as I peeled off my wet lab gown and T-shirt. "Don't worry," he said, as if it happened all the time. Just as zookeepers rarely share the names of their animals with the public, so are laboratory monkeys left anonymous in the science literature. If I'd had the opportunity to publish the results of my work with Clayton, we would have called him Monkey C, in accordance with journal etiquette; other mammals, like mice, rats, and kittens, are almost never identified, even in code.
That hasn't always been the case. Ivan Pavlov called his surgical dogs by name in published lectures. Among his most successful subjects was a collie-setter mutt named Druzhok, "Little Friend." The anti-vivisectionist movement was much stronger in the United States than it was in Russia, though, and American physiologists were soon hiding the more sentimental details of their work from the public. In 1914, the chair of the Council on the Defense of Medical Research, Walter Cannon, warned journal editors to excise from their manuscripts any "expressions which are likely to be misunderstood" or turned against them by animal activists. Historian Susan Lederer has traced the expansion of this policy over 25 years at the nation's top biomedical research journal. Starting in the 1920s, she writes, a slew of technical jargon was systematically inserted into the pages of the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The word starving was replaced by fasting, bleeding by hemorrhaging, poison by toxicant; full-body photographs of lab animals were removed, and the pronoun it was subbed in for any use of he or she to describe them. Authors who referred to their animals by given names were instructed to use a string of letters and numbers instead.
That doublespeak (by now having become a matter of habit) obscures some of the incidental cruelties of animal research. But it hides just as well the attention and care that are essential to working in the lab. An experimental macaque costs about $8,000 and may require months or years of training before it can start producing useful data. That is to say, its continued health is of extraordinary value both to the professor who paid for it and to the graduate student whose dreams of a thesis depend on its well-being. It was my job to nurture Clayton so he would perform in my experiments as best he could. Given the constraints of the lab—a cage, a chair, a metal head post—I wanted him to be as happy as a monkey could be.
Outright negligence might have affected the quality of my data, as an animal in distress is likely to deliver skewed results. That idea, so obvious in retrospect, dawned on physiologists only near the turn of the 20th century, according to historian Otniel Dror. Researchers began to notice how fear or anxiety could be expressed as physiological phenomena—changes in blood sugar, for example, or digestive function. A fearful rabbit might "blush," wrote one scientist, and yield false measurements of blood pressure. While journal editors of the 1920s worked to strip emotional phrases from the scientific literature, scientists learned how to control emotion in the lab. Walter Cannon, whose letter in 1914 inaugurated the era of science-journal jargon, remarked that he could alter the gastric motility of a cat by "reassuringly" stroking her fur.
I've also experimented on cats—kittens, really—by probing their exposed brains with an electrode to see where tiny shocks might palpitate their feet. (We were studying neuroplasticity and how behavioral training affected the development of the motor map.) I spent time with the animals every day, teaching them to grab morsels of meat from a plastic container with their little paws. Like Walter Cannon, I stroked their bellies, too, and scratched under their chins. But there's no mention of those affections in the published results of the study. (Kittens "were trained to reach through the aperture to grasp the beef from a narrow cylindrical food well (3.2 cm inside diameter; 5 cm deep) using their preferred limb only," we wrote.) Nor did we mention that the animals—some as young as 3 months old—were euthanized at the end of each "intracortical microstimulation" experiment.
It's easy to see why we used this furtive language. Any sentimentality over the cats would have suggested a lack of scientific rigor, and a frank description of the killings would only invite anger from animal rights groups—and alienate the taxpayers who paid for the study (and my graduate student stipend). But it seems to me the pressure to keep the laboratory door shut comes from both sides. The public acceptance of animal research, and the biomedical breakthroughs it engenders, has always come with the understanding that no one will divulge too many of the gory details—we put up with animal sacrifice only so long as we don't have to think about it.
On Sept. 11, 1981, police officers in Montgomery County raided the two-story Institute for Biological Research in Silver Spring, Md., and found there a gruesome, filthy holding room for experimental macaques "who were in such physical and mental stress that they appeared to have bitten off their fingers and arms, or whose cages were locked together so that they injured each other." With the help of a young animal rights activist named Alex Pacheco, the officers seized 17 of the animals, and the lab's director, Edward Taub, was charged under state law with more than a dozen counts of animal cruelty.

Taub's trial began in October 1981, and as happens in nearly every case of alleged laboratory animal abuse, the ugliness of invasive research became a defense in itself. Should the condition of Taub's monkeys have been taken as evidence of abuse on its own terms or in the context of how research monkeys were treated everywhere else? Expert witnesses debated every detail of the case along these lines, from the question of how filthy a monkey lab might reasonably become to whether it made sense to bandage the wound of a deafferented animal. Taub was found guilty on six counts, but five of them were overturned in a second trial the following year; he was acquitted of the sixth in 1983.
The plight of the monkeys had in the mean time generated enormous publicity for Pacheco and his fledgling advocacy group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The photographs he'd taken in Taub's lab became the iconic images of an invigorated anti-vivisectionist movement—in particular, a shot of a macaque with its hands and feet taped to a metal frame and its arms stretched Christ-like. (At his trial, Taub accused PETA of staging some photos.) In 1984, PETA scored another publicity coup, releasing video footage stolen from the University of Pennsylvania by the Animal Liberation Front. That tape showed researchers at a head injury clinic joking around as they performed violent whiplash experiments on helmeted baboons. The uproar over the abuse in Silver Spring and Philadelphia pushed lawmakers to strengthen federal protections for laboratory animals. Like Pepper 20 years earlier, PETA's monkeys and baboons helped break a stalemate in Washington between animal welfare groups and the research establishment.
For years, a bioethicist named Bernie Rollin had been arguing that the Animal Welfare Act needed to be rebuilt with a new philosophy. In Rollin's view, the existing regulations had done little to make scientists aware of their animals' suffering. He'd testified in Congress that physiologists had not even bothered to study animal pain in a systematic way, since its existence could not readily be tested or verified in the lab. Researchers might use paralytic agents (sometimes called "chemical restraints") to prevent an animal from thrashing around during an experiment, he said, but they often neglected the use of painkillers altogether. This ideology even extended to human infants, whose subjective experience was similarly mysterious. Doctors sometimes assumed that babies were insensitive to pain and, up through the early 1980s, deprived them of analgesia during surgery.
With PETA's help, Rollin and the animal welfare groups were finally able to win their case—and the passage of a series of amendments to the Animal Welfare Act in 1985 under the stewardship of Bob Dole. The new law required that all covered animals be given painkillers before and after surgery and that no animal be used in more than one "major operative experiment." It also mandated the creation of an institutional committee (including at least one veterinarian) wherever lab animals were used. The self-policing committees were to review experimental protocols, inspect research facilities, and evaluate whether sufficient effort had been made to reduce animal suffering.
Rollin wanted more than bureaucratic airlocks, though. He'd tried to imbue the law with a new philosophy. The amendments he helped to write introduced the idea of "performance standards" for laboratory animal care, as opposed to the "engineering standards" of old. Where the USDA's Dale Schwindaman once struggled to determine the minimum cage dimensions for dogs, cats, and hamsters—"to play God to the animals," in the words of his boss—now there was a movement to abandon recipes and regulations in favor of more ambiguous endpoints. Government inspectors would spend less time unfurling their tape measures and more time adjudicating the spirit of animal welfare: Are the laboratory dogs getting enough exercise? Are the monkeys in a state of "psychological well-being?"
That distinction, between engineering standards and performance standards, has become a source of contentious debate among animal protectionists and research advocates. (Performance standards seem poised to become even further established in an upcoming revision of the official NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.) The institutions argue that more flexible definitions are better for the animals, since they allow for quicker improvements to laboratory practice. (Under performance standards, for example, monkeys might be housed in pairs or they might not, depending on their personalities and predilection for fighting.) Welfare advocates argue that wishy-washy requirements leave too much power in the hands of on-site experts, who draw their salaries from the institutions they oversee. Christine Stevens, the mother of the original Animal Welfare Act and the woman who first brought Pepper's story to Washington in 1965, worried that performance standards "gave it all back to the researchers and said, 'Here, do what you want.' " "I'm not a 'law' type of guy," Rollin says now. "I'm a Harley rider. I was the last guy to want to play cops-and-robbers with scientists." Instead of handing out a new set of rules for researchers to follow, he'd hoped to make them work out the ethical issues for themselves.
I returned to the monkey room one morning in March, in a yellow lab gown with paper booties over my sneakers. I'd e-mailed my former mentor two days before, to tell him I was writing about animal research for Slate and to find out what became of the project we'd started in his lab eight years ago. Had someone finished the experiment? Were the remains of monkey C buried in some academic journal with my data on the headstone? In a few hours, I had his reply: "Clayton is still around."
The primate quarters were arranged exactly as I remembered—two rows of metal boxes along the walls, two tiers on each side. A pair of adult monkeys idled near the front of their cages on the right, just inside the door: One looked haggard, with circles of dry, red skin around his eyes and his tongue lolling from the corner of his mouth; the other was more alert, eyeing me from the front of his cage with his hands folded across his belly. If there hadn't been labels the size of index cards on the front of their cages, I might not have recognized Duper and Clayton at all.
Their enclosures looked smaller than before—cramped, even—and for a moment I considered the possibility that the recession had taken its toll on the animals. Of course, it was that the animals had grown bigger: Clayton had doubled in size—the little monkey who once felt like an infant in my arms was now a slouching beast with round shoulders and thick legs. His catarrhine muzzle was more prominent than before, and there was a new mound of pink dental cement on the front of his cranium, topped by a small, plastic screw cap. Beneath it was a patch of his brain, exposed for recording electrodes. I found myself gazing dumbstruck at his queer, time-worn face.
If Clayton remembered me, it wasn't with fondness: He rose to all fours as I approached and grunted at me with his lips parted—an aggressive, open-mouth threat. There was little evidence of the adolescent who had cowered in the back of his cage eight years ago. As an adult, Clayton lingered near the bars, scowling. (I discovered later that he'd been separated from his old cage-mate Duper for fighting.)
But the constancies of his daily life were more striking than these other developments. In all the time I'd been gone, Clayton had lived in the same room, on the same feeding schedule, and with many of the same neighbors. Since we'd last seen each other, I'd moved across the country twice, quit graduate school, and become a journalist. Scientists had published more than 10,000 research papers using macaque models, and a team at the Baylor College of Medicine sequenced the entire genome of the rhesus monkey. For Clayton, though, nothing has changed. Every day or two, he's carted off to a room painted all in black, and his head is fixed in place by the post that still protrudes from his skull. He sits there as always, staring at targets on a computer screen. When he moves his eyes the way he's supposed to, he gets a droplet of Tang as a reward. It occurred to me that Pepper had been lucky. She'd spent her life roaming an 82-acre farm in Slatington, Pa., with a mate, Fred. (They even had a litter of puppies.) Her time at Montefiore Hospital in the summer of 1965 would last all of one day: After a single night spent locked in the rooftop kennel, she was brought downstairs, anesthetized, and killed.
Clayton was born in a breeding center; he grew up in metal boxes and spent his adolescence with a hole in his head and a coil around his eye. In 10 or 15 years of life, he suffered through multiple surgeries and infections and endless hours of restraint in a plastic chair. And for what? Pepper's death, at least, contributed to the development of the cardiac pacemaker—a revolutionary medical device that would prolong millions of lives. Every hour of Clayton's existence has been spent, and will continue to be spent, in the service of basic science.
"Yep, he's still going strong," my former mentor said when I returned from the monkey room. We stood outside a recording chamber, where another animal now sat in front of the monitor. Some people might not like the idea of a monkey working so long, he continued; they say it's better to use each lab animal for one experiment only or a series of related ones … but all the experiments in a given lab are at least somewhat related. "You could easily argue," he added, that the resources necessary to buy and train a new monkey would be a net minus for animal welfare. Why should we euthanize Clayton and start over? Isn't it better for science, and more humane, to use just one animal?
That sort of moral calculus had driven me away from animal research. (I quit in 2003 after a grisly series of experiments involving a suction tube, a scalpel, and the exposed brains of a half-dozen small birds.) Does the cumulative suffering of one animal over 10 years amount to more than the summed misery of several others, used only briefly? Are we trying to reduce the total amount of pain inflicted on animals or the total number of animals killed? Now it seems to me we've grown ever more removed from these sorts of questions.
The development of animal protections has surely reduced suffering in the laboratory. Yet our safeguards have also served to quarantine the ethical debate. The protocols for painful experiments are approved by institutional committees, and the welfare of lab animals has become a topic for obscure scientific measurements. Few outside science get to see what happens inside the laboratory or consider its costs and benefits. (My recent visit with Clayton was itself unusual; primate labs are rarely so welcoming to members of the press.
Pepper brought us through the laboratory door 40 years ago and generated enough public engagement to pass the Animal Welfare Act. Someone's pet—a member of the family—had gotten lost in the enormous enterprise of biomedicine, and we all went in after her. But scientists today no longer need to pluck stray dogs from country roads. Today's lab animals are professionals—life-long civil servants like Clayton, toiling away in the back rooms of a public institution; or else they're disposable commodities, like the millions of rats and mice that ship out from breeding centers every year. Theirs is a closed ecosystem of universities, hospitals, and breeders—a world behind doors with electronic locks. Will anyone bother to look inside?
Correction, June 9, 2009: This article originally referred to Pavlov's discovery that "animals would drool at the sound of a bell." That's a widely held misconception about his work. It was already well-known that animals could learn to salivate in response to sounds; Pavlov helped elucidate the meaning and function of these conditioned reflexes. References to a "bell" in his work are the result of a long-standing mistranslation from the Russian of the word for "electrical buzzer." In fact, Pavlov only used a bell once or twice in more than 30 years of research. (Return to the corrected sentence.)
Correction, June 11, 2009: The original version described iron supplements as a cure for pernicious anemia. It was the vitamin B12 in liver that served as the basis for Whipple's cure. His experimental dogs did have an iron deficiency, however.) (Return to the corrected sentence.)

The old sanctuary in that location was torn down in the 15th century. In the beginning of the 17th century, a smaller chapel stood on the site. Construction on a larger Baroque hall-style church with chapels and a main facade divided by pilasters was started in 1646 and finished in 1660. The high frontage, at the sides concluded with two volutes, was rebuilt several times, particularly in the 19th century. At the top of the gable stands a high copper sculpture of the Loretto Mary with Child by Goldenstein, which in 1858 replaced an older wooden sculpture of the Black Mary. The bell towers by the presbytery with onion-shaped spires were added in the 18th century and were changed after the earthquake at the end of the 19th century. The Franciscans moved into the Augustine church in 1784. With them they brought some of the fittings from the old Franciscan church at Vodnikov trg. The interior, mainly the vaulting of the nave, was painted by Matevž Langus in the middle of the 19th century. Francesco Robba had carved the main altar by 1738. In the vestry is the Koroščev cross, made according to Plečnik's plan.The hall-style Baroque space with an accented facade from the 17th century and its two towers dominates the area and is the first entirely newly built Baroque church in Ljubljana. Each year at Christmas the largest creche in Ljubljana is arranged in front of its main altar. During the renovation in 1992, the level with the windows on the main façade was reconstructed and the ruined fresco by Goldenstein, which was repainted in the sixties, was removed. The two towers were renovated in 1995. Later the winter chapel under the staircase that leads into the church was arranged (architect Maruša Zorec, 1999). The church is open regularly. VISITS

New Look Santa Monica City Council Rescind Village Trailer Park Development
Courtesy Of The City Of Santa MonicaVillage Trailer Park at 2930 Colorado Avenue will be bulldozed to make way for East Village, a 377-unit mixed-use housing development. However, 10 original trailer spaces will be retained on the east side of the property.

Parimal M. Rohit / Staff Writer
The saga of Santa Monica’s Village Trailer Park (VTP) at 2930 Colorado Avenue continues, as a new look City Council sworn in Tuesday narrowly decided at its first meeting to rescind the second reading and adoption of a development agreement (DA). A pair of 4-3 votes have allowed City Hall to withhold enforcing the previously approved DA and a gave Council members and City staff additional time to scrutinize the project that may still replace Santa Monica’s oldest communities with a 377-unit mixed-use housing development called “East Village.” Council member Kevin McKeown made a request to discuss whether the newly seated council should have a discussion reconsider the previous council’s Nov. 27 vote adopting the second reading of Marc Luzzatto’s proposed development.
That request was approved 4-3, allowing the council to actually discuss whether or not to rescind the previous council’s vote allowing the East Village DA to move forward.
The council then voted 4-3 to rescind the second reading and adoption of the East Village DA.
The two votes effectively earned VTP residents and supporters a bit of a reprieve, but Tuesday night’s votes do not necessarily eliminate the DA. Indeed, McKeown said the intent was not to preclude any developments from being built at VTP but rather to address specific issues and concerns, such as possible deficiencies in affordable housing and whether or not City Hall is following its own laws.
Both votes had the same bloc in favor and against: Council members Gleam Davis, Tony Vazquez, and Ted Winterer voted with McKeown in favor of reconsideration. Mayor Pam O’Connor, Mayor Pro Tem Terry O’Day, and Council member Bob Holbrook voted against.
McKeown said it was necessary to reconsider the last council’s adoption of the East Village DA at the Dec. 11 meeting because there may no longer be a chance to do so later.
“The action the council took November 27th will become effective 30 days after that second reading,” McKeown said. “That ordinance will then be in effect. At that point it will be more difficult for us to reconsider this matter.”
The council member added new information was been made available after the Nov. 27 vote.
“Since the second reading, I think we have received considerable additional information on conflicts between this development agreement and our Affordable Housing Policy, among other things,” McKeown stated, adding a plethora of neighborhood groups and residents have sent emails requesting the council reconsider its vote.
One of those new pieces of information was a report to be presented to the Planning Commission of the Bergamot Area Plan. McKeown said the report may indicate the goals of the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) would not be met if certain affordable housing provisions were not met.
Sue Himmelrich, an attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said the DA approved by the previous council is “illegal.”
“This development agreement does not comply with the General Plan and the Specific Plan of the City of Santa Monica and, consequently, is void,” Himmelrich told Council members.
Luzzatto briefly spoke during public comment and expressed his frustration with the process.
“We have been working on this for six-and-a-half years. We spent months and months negotiating with the Rent Control Board, and with representatives of the City to arrive at a Memorandum of Understanding, and, in reliance of that, spent a tremendous amount of money … in arriving at the DA that is now executed,” Luzzatto told council members. “We believe we have a binding agreement.”
He added he has made several concessions that have been overlooked by opponents of the DA, such as a land grant and a plan to build 40 subterranean parking spaces.
“No one is giving any credit for the land,” Luzzatto said. “We’re going to build the streets, we’re going to have utilities, (and) we’re going to have the parking spaces.”
According to plans, as many as 99 rent-controlled units currently located on the VTP property will be lost and in its place will be a development expected to feature 161 apartments and 216 condominiums.
In mid-November, the Santa Monica City Council finally green-lighted the mixed-use housing project helmed by Luzzatto after two days of deliberation and discussion. The two days of deliberation and discussion capped off a six-year battle that drew the ire of those who would either be displaced by the elimination of VTP or adversely affected by potential impacts of a new development such as increased traffic.
Prior to the vote, Luzzatto made some concessions to his project, such as agreeing to reduce the overall size of the project by eight percent and feature 14 percent fewer units. The development would have retained 10 of the original trailer spaces (closure of 99 spaces).
When the council last considered Village Trailer Park in July, the proposed East Village project featured 438 residential units and a total floor area of 378,450 square feet within four buildings. Luzzatto had since agreed to scale the project down to 377 residential units and 341,290 square feet of total floor area within three buildings.
Luzzatto also agreed to modify the bedroom mix of proposed residential units.
McKeown expressed concern last month that several dozen VTP residents would be displaced in favor of a development that was not consistent with the LUCE. There were also questions of soil quality and land value.

While I can understand Mr. Luzzatto;s frustration, two things come immediately to mind. First, it was HIS choice to deal with the SAMO City government. The citizens of SAMO did not ask him to come in and disrupt our community and our neighborhoods. Secondly, just because he may have snookered the last Council, it does not mean that he can snooker THIS Council, although he still has plenty of SMRR support, no doubt. The bottom line is that if he wants to make the big bucks, he shall have to content himself with producing a plan that satisfies ALL of SAMO, not just those he can "influence". Remember, half a loaf is better than none. Dec. 13, 2012, 1:48:17 am

Mr. Lazatto look into just closing the park. it sounds like this is not going to go away anytime soon. Cut your losses and close the park. Dec. 13, 2012, 10:12:31 am

The city council are only slowing down development temporarially because they don't have enough staff to process the applications for more overdevelopment. Politics as usual will have the three so called "slow growth" council members negotiage for slightly slower growth. They will still vote for more growth, but at a slightly slower pace. They may throw residents a few crumbs and refuse some projects, such as the Village Trailer Park, which never should have been approved in the first place! The only way to wake up our apathetic and uninformed Santa Monica voters is to have a recall to remove every council person who supported LUCE or voted to waive limits on height, or approved any watered down project that impacted our quality of life. Such a proposition will send a strong message that the residents are fed up with the rapidly growing and uncontrolled overdevelopment in Santa Monica ! This greedy for even more revenue council dares to insult our intelligence and tell us traffic chaos is a regional problem! It's time to take our city back and THROW THE BUMS OUT!

I would like to inform Santa Monica City Residents that I have initiated a Recall of City Mayor Pam O'Connor and City Council Pro-Tem Terry O'Day. These 3 individuals are destroying our beloved city. At this present time I can only go after O'Connor and Bob Holbrook. I have to wait 90 days after O'Day was sworn into office to conduct a Recall on him which would be March 12, 2013. Let's work to get these bums out. Pleas wiite to me at [email protected] or call 310-828-7711 and leave a message or a comment. I will need help collecting the 10,000 Recall signatures of Registered Santa Monica Voters. Thank you, Roberto Gomez 41 year resident of Santa Monica.

News Ford's Frame of Mind
By Posted: Oct 25, 2010
Before actors started playing on bowling lanes instead of soundstages at the recent Daytime Stars and Strikes event in Manhattan's Frames, ONE LIFE TO LIVE's David Gregory spoke about having fun as — and understanding — Ford.Soap Opera Weekly: This event is a great way to be part of your OLTL "family."
David Gregory: That's just the word; it's a family. It's a very close cast that likes to do a lot of things together outside of work. This is just another excuse; it's really fun.
Weekly: Do you have any words for your fans?
Gregory: Hang in there with Ford, because he is a bit of a jerk, but he doesn't know any better. I feel like he grew up a certain way, and he's trying to do the right thing, but at the same time, he only knows one way of doing something. So I don't expect him to be a perfect guy, but I also don't expect him to be the worst bad boy in Llanview anymore. I think he's going to hover somewhere in between. I don't want him to lose that edge; it keeps him interesting.
Weekly: He's more of an antihero than a "bad boy."
Gregory: Yes, I agree. And I like that; there's a lot more to do with that. As an actor, I'm having the time of my life playing [the role]. It's very opposite my personality, and so it's fun to go into work and touch on that, and then to go on with my life.
Weekly: Have you had any fan reaction to the baby storyline?
Gregory: Oh, people have asked me about it a lot. It might be similar to what happened with Elijah hitting him over the head, in that they didn't tell me until it was time to shoot scenes with him. All they told me was, "It's somebody really random; you've never had scenes with them." I was like, "That's strange." We're going to find out who [Jessica's] child's father is, and I will be just as surprised. It could go either way. It'd be interesting if Ford thought he was the dad for a little while, because that brings out a different dynamic in him, but I'm not sure that he should be the dad, because that's a lot of responsibility for a guy who doesn't deserve it yet. But that might make him rise to the occasion; he seems like a guy who can rise to the occasion. So it would be interesting to watch him struggle with that. It would be really interesting either way.

School Enrollment and Type of School
School enrollment data are used to assess the socioeconomic condition of school-age children. Government agencies also require these data for funding allocations and program planning and implementation.
Data on school enrollment and grade or level attending were derived from answers to Question 10. People were classified as enrolled in school if they were attending a public or private school or college at any time during the 3 months prior to the time of interview. The question included instructions to "include only nursery or preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, home school, and schooling which leads to a high school diploma, or a college degree". Respondents who did not answer the enrollment question were assigned the enrollment status and type of school of a person with the same age, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino origin whose residence was in the same or nearby area.
School enrollment is only recorded if the schooling advances a person toward an elementary school certificate, a high school diploma, or a college, university, or professional school (such as law or medicine) degree. Tutoring or correspondence schools are included if credit can be obtained from a public or private school or college. People enrolled in "vocational, technical, or business school" such as post secondary vocational, trade, hospital school, and on job training were not reported as enrolled in school. Field interviewers were instructed to classify individuals who were home schooled as enrolled in private school. The guide sent out with the mail questionnaire includes instructions for how to classify home schoolers.
Enrolled in Public and Private Schoolback to top
Includes people who attended school in the reference period and indicated they were enrolled by marking one of the questionnaire categories for "public school, public college," or "private school, private college, home school." The instruction guide defines a public school as "any school or college controlled and supported primarily by a local, county, state, or federal government." Private schools are defined as schools supported and controlled primarily by religious organizations or other private groups. Home schools are defined as "parental-guided education outside of public or private school for grades 1-12." Respondents who marked both the "public" and "private" boxes are edited to the first entry, "public."
Grade in Which Enrolledback to top
From 1999-2007, in the American Community Survey, people reported to be enrolled in "public school, public college" or "private school, private college" were classified by grade or level according to responses to Question 10b, "What grade or level was this person attending?" Seven levels were identified: "nursery school, preschool;" "kindergarten;" elementary "grade 1 to grade 4" or "grade 5 to grade 8;" high school "grade 9 to grade 12;" "college undergraduate years (freshman to senior);" and "graduate or professional school (for example: medical, dental, or law school)."
In 2008, the school enrollment questions had several changes. "Home school" was explicitly included in the "private school, private college" category. For question 10b the categories changed to the following "Nursery school, preschool," "Kindergarten," "Grade 1 through grade 12," "College undergraduate years (freshman to senior)," "Graduate or professional school beyond a bachelor's degree (for example: MA or PhD program, or medical or law school)." The survey question allowed a write-in for the grades enrolled from 1-12.
Since 1999, the American Community Survey enrollment status question (Question 10a) refers to "regular school or college," while the 1996-1998 American Community Survey did not restrict reporting to "regular" school, and contained an additional category for the "vocational, technical or business school."
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey used the educational attainment question to estimate level of enrollment for those reported to be enrolled in school, and had a single year write-in for the attainment of grades 1 through 11. Grade levels estimated using the attainment question were not consistent with other estimates, so a new question specifically asking grade or level of enrollment was added starting with the 1999 American Community Survey questionnaire.
Beginning in 2006, the population universe in the American Community Survey includes people living in group quarters. Data users may see slight differences in levels of school enrollment in any given geographic area due to the inclusion of this population. The extent of this difference, if any, depends on the type of group quarters present and whether the group quarters population makes up a large proportion of the total population. For example, in areas that are home to several colleges and universities, the percent of individuals 18 to 24 who were enrolled in college or graduate school would increase, as people living in college dormitories are now included in the universe.
Data about level of enrollment are also collected from the decennial Census and from the Current Population Survey (CPS). ACS data is generally comparable to data from the Census. Although it should be noted that the ACS reference period was 3 months preceding the date of interview, while the Census 2000 reference period was any time since February 1, 2000. For more information about the comparability of ACS and CPS data, please see the link for the Fact Sheet from the CPS School Enrollment page.
Data on school enrollment also are collected and published by other federal, state, and local government agencies. Because these data are obtained from administrative records of school systems and institutions of higher learning, they are only roughly comparable to data from population censuses and surveys. Differences in definitions and concepts, subject matter covered, time references, and data collection methods contribute to the differences in estimates. At the local level, the difference between the location of the institution and the residence of the student may affect the comparability of census and administrative data because census data are collected from and based on a respondent's residence. Differences between the boundaries of school districts and census geographic units also may affect these comparisons.
ACS 2010-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix A. Supplemental Documentation -> 2010 Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Age
The data on age were derived from answers to Question 4. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years at the time of interview. Both age and date of birth are used in combination to calculate the most accurate age at the time of the interview. Respondents are asked to give an age in whole, completed years as of interview date as well as the month, day and year of birth. People are not to round an age up if the person is close to having a birthday and to estimate an age if the exact age is not known. An additional instruction on babies also asks respondents to print "0" for babies less than one year old. Inconsistently reported and missing values are assigned or imputed based on the values of other variables for that person, from other people in the household, or from people in other households ("hot deck" imputation).
Age is asked for all persons in a household or group quarters. On the mailout/mailback paper questionnaire for households, both age and date of birth are asked for persons listed as person numbers 1-5 on the form. Only age (in years) is initially asked for persons listed as 612 on the mailout/mailback paper questionnaire. If a respondent indicates that there are more than 5 people living in the household, then the household is eligible for Failed Edit Follow-up (FEFU). During FEFU operations, telephone center staffers call respondents to obtain missing data. This includes asking date of birth for any person in the household missing date of birth information. In Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) and Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) instruments both age and date of birth is asked for all persons. In 2006, the ACS began collecting data in group quarters (GQs). This included asking both age and date of birth for persons living in a group quarters. For additional data collection methodology, please visit the ACS website.
Data on age are used to determine the applicability of other questions for a particular individual and to classify other characteristics in tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and economic characteristics used to plan and analyze programs and policies. Age is central for any number of federal programs that target funds or services to children, working-age adults, women of childbearing age, or the older population. The U.S. Department of Education uses census age data in its formula for allotment to states. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs uses age to develop its mandated state projections on the need for hospitals, nursing homes, cemeteries, domiciliary services, and other benefits for veterans. For more information on the use of age data in Federal programs, please visit the ACS website.
Median Ageback to top
The median age is the age that divides the population into two equal-size groups. Half of the population is older than the median age and half is younger. Median age is based on a standard distribution of the population by single years of age and is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. (See the sections on "Standard Distributions" and "Medians" under "Derived Measures.")
Age Dependency Ratioback to top
The age dependency ratio is derived by dividing the combined under 18 years and 65 years and over populations by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.
Old-Age Dependency Ratioback to top
The old-age dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population 65 years and over by the 18-to-64 population and multiplying by 100.
Child Dependency Ratioback to top
The child dependency ratio is derived by dividing the population under 18 years by the 18-to-64 population, and multiplying by 100.
The 1996-2002 American Community Survey question asked for month, day, and year of birth before age. Since 2003, the American Community Survey question asked for age, followed by month, day, and year of birth. In 2008, an additional instruction was provided with the age and date of birth question on the American Community Survey questionnaire to report babies as age 0 when the child was less than 1 year old. The addition of this instruction occurred after 2005 National Census Test results indicated increased accuracy of age reporting for babies less than one year old.
Beginning in 2006, the population living in group quarters (GQ) was included in the American Community Survey population universe. Some types of group quarters have populations with age distributions that are very different from that of the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the age distribution for a given geographic area. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population. For example, in areas with large colleges and universities, the percent of individuals 18-24 would increase due to the inclusion of GQs in the American Community Survey universe.
Caution should be taken when comparing population in age groups across time. The entire population continually ages into older age groups over time, and babies fill in the youngest age group. Therefore, the population of a certain age is made up of a completely different group of people in one time period than in another (e.g. one age group in 2000 versus same age group in 2010). Since populations occasionally experience booms/increases and busts/decreases in births, deaths, or migration (for example, the postwar Baby Boom from 1946-1964), one should not necessarily expect that the population in an age group in one year should be similar in size or proportion to the population in the same age group in a different period in time. For example, Baby Boomers were age 36 to 54 in Census 2000 while they were age 46 to 64 in the 2010 ACS. The age structure and distribution would therefore shift in those age groups to reflect the change in people occupying those age- specific groups over time.
Data users should also be aware of methodology differences that may exist between different data sources if they are comparing American Community Survey age data to data sources, such as Population Estimates or Decennial Census data. For example, the American Community Survey data are that of a respondent-based survey and subject to various quality measures, such as sampling and nonsampling error, response rates and item allocation error. This differs in design and methodology from other data sources, such as Population Estimates, which is not a survey and involves computational methodology to derive intercensal estimates of the population. While ACS estimates are controlled to Population Estimates for age at the nation, state and county levels of geography as part of the ACS weighting procedure, variation may exist in the age structure of a population at lower levels of geography when comparing different time periods or comparing across time due to the absence of controls below the county geography level. For more information on American Community Survey data accuracy and weighting procedures, please visit the ACS website.

Search this site: Home TACP brethren work together for mission success
By SOF Editor on Tue, 11/06/2012 - 11:40am America at War
Printer Friendly VersionSend to a FriendDescribed as a little brother, big brother relationship, the Tactical Air Control party members have a lot more at stake than just family rituals.
Both TACP members, the joint terminal attack controller and the radio operator maintainer and driver not only depend on each other to get the mission accomplished, but to also get home safely.
A ROMAD is an entry-level TACP that is not yet certified to call in close-air support while JTACs are certified TACP members, who call in and coordinate airstrikes on demand.
Tech. Sgt. Aaron Cass, and Airman 1st Class Tommy Allgier make up the two man TACP team at Forward Operating Base Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan.
Both are members of the 817th Expeditionary Air Support Operations Squadron and are deployed from Ft. Carson, Colo., where they support the 4th Infantry, 4th Brigade.
Their mission is to provide armed overwatch for military units on the ground in Afghanistan.
"Basically I bridge the gap between the Air Force and the Army when it comes to air assets," Cass, a native of Anchorage, Alaska, said. "I integrate all the Air Force platforms that are fighters and bombers and ensure that I meet the ground force commander's intent of close air support."
When it is too much for the ground forces, the JTAC can call in close air support to help them out. The JTAC is always ready to call in close air support whenever it may be requested.
"I have been fortunate to be with 4th Infantry, 4th Brigade for two of my deployments, and they have been good to me. They have been good to the JTAC community. They know what we bring to the fight and they know how to utilize us. We are the close air support experts and we are there to help them. I don't see us as Air Force. I don't see them as Army. I see us as a team to get our objective accomplished, so we can go back home to our families."
Although the job is stressful, the thing about the TACP community is they are always there for each other, said Cass who has been in the Air Force for 10 years.
"The camaraderie is the best thing about my job," he said. "All of us are a bunch of type-A personalities. We are such a small community who make such a big difference."
And, this is the same mentality the JTACs have with their ROMADs.
"It's kind of like a family," Cass said. "We are just like brothers. Typically in a family, brothers pick on each other and whatnot."
All jokes aside, Cass reflected the ROMAD is vital to the mission.
In the tactical operations center, when troops are in contact, there are a lot of questions being thrown at the JTAC about air assets. The JTAC needs to know what is happening on the ground, needs to keep everyone informed and needs to make sure the information is being passed up the chain of command.
This is where the ROMAD comes in.
"ROMADs are definitely beneficial to have," Cass said. "They start learning how to multitask. They can be working the radio, communicating with leadership, looking on maps, getting information from battle captains . . . basically, just relaying that information. Whether they tell me or if I have a whole bunch of things going on, they will write it on the piece of paper and put it in my face so that I can get to it."
While this is where the ROMAD helps out in the TOC, they can be a lifesaver when they are out on missions outside the wire. This was the case for the Allgier when he found himself on his first mission and the JTAC he was with got sick.
"It was a lot higher altitude on this mission and the JTAC [I was with] got sick," Allgier said. "We were replacing some other guys who had been up there for a while. I had to step up and do more than what is expected so the guys we were replacing could get back to their base. I didn't have a lot of controlling experience talking to aircraft, so I had to do more of that...until the JTAC was able to recover."
"I was nervous," he continued. "This is my first deployment and first time outside the wire. I didn't really know what I was doing. The JTAC was giving me instructions saying 'I need you to do this this and this.' So it went by pretty smooth. I was nervous having to talk to the aircraft."
Although Allgier was nervous, together with his JTAC, they were able to press to get the mission done.
Allgier is one of approximately 24 Airmen from the 817th ASOS on a nine-month deployment. During this time, he has worked under five different JTACs because they are moved around throughout the area of operation to support mission requirements.
"As a ROMAD you are supposed to know everything a JTAC knows and are supposed to be able to double check them," Allgier said. "If you see something that the JTAC has done, you can point it out to them and say hey, recheck this. It is that back up, really; it is a huge responsibility to tell the aircraft they are clear to clear hot to drop. They have someone double checking. Being the ROMAD, you are the apprentice, so you are picking up all the things your JTAC does and if you work with multiple JTACs you get to pick multiple [traits] from each JTAC, so when you get to that level you are more squared away."
One of the skills he has seen in Cass that he likes is that he is always confident and never second guesses when he doesn't think something is right, Allgier explained.
"It has been really good working with Sergeant Cass," the Sandy, Utah native said. "He is a good JTAC."
Just as Allgier looks up to Cass, the JTAC holds his ROMAD in high regard.
"I've known [Tommy] since he wasn't even a five-level," Cass said. "He is really smart and knows his job, and I think he is going to be a really good JTAC. We have had to shift a lot of JTACs throughout this task force. He has at least got the experience of having different JTACS and has been able to see how they react and how they blend with their Army counterparts."
As for words of advice to the young ROMAD, the experienced JTAC wants his ROMAD to keep things in perspective.
"It is an extremely important job and is stressful, but very rewarding," Cass said.

‘Nones’ on the rise, not on the run
Local folks who don’t embrace God face mixed reactions
By ERICA MITRANOStaff writer
Staff photo by REID SILVERMAN “I’ve run into a lot of people that try to argue this way and tell me that I’m going to hell and get really upset when they hear somebody doesn’t believe the same way they do,” said Jered Miller, 25, at his home Monday in Lexington Park. “I think it’s a mindset propagated by the church that atheists are evil.” Religiously unaffiliated La Plata residents Mark and Shanon Nebo spell out their beliefs in the separation of the church from state affairs in public life.
Religiously unaffiliated Mark and Shanon Nebo of La Plata promote and support the cause of secular groups such as American Atheist and Recovering from Religion on social media. Entrepreneurs in the floral business, they help raise funds with sales of bracelets and printed T-shirts promoting nonreligious beliefs and the separation of church and state.

“I’ve run into a lot of people that try to argue this way and tell me that I’m going to hell and get really upset when they hear somebody doesn’t believe the same way they do,” said Jered Miller, 25, at his home Monday in Lexington Park. “I think it’s a mindset propagated by the church that atheists are evil.”

Almost a fifth of American adults, including a third of those younger than 30, do not belong to any religion, the highest proportion ever recorded in a poll by the Pew Research Center, the nonpartisan organization announced in October.
This religious “disaffiliation” spiked particularly in the past five years, driven almost entirely by an exodus of white evangelical and mainline Protestants. American “nones,” as some experts call the nonreligious, increased by 28 percent between 2007 and 2012, according to survey results.
Some of that rise swelled the ranks of atheists, who don’t believe in any god, and agnostics, who maintain that the supernatural is unknowable. But about 33 million of the nation’s estimated 46 million nones would reject both of those labels, instead choosing “nothing in particular” in lieu of any religious affiliation, the study suggests.
While nones include members of every demographic group, 71 percent of the unaffiliated are white, rising to 82 percent of avowed atheists and agnostics. The unaffiliated also tend to be young, male, unmarried and politically liberal, results suggest.
But the beliefs of the group are hard to pin down. While 72 percent rarely or never attend church or other services, two-thirds say they believe in God and one-fifth pray every day, according to the report “‘Nones’ on the Rise,” compiled by The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. And 88 percent of them are content with their spiritual life, or lack of one, and are “not looking” for a religion.
The study did not draw any conclusions about the source of the shift, but it is reflected in the diverse approaches, from atheist activism to reverence for nature, of disaffiliated Southern Marylanders living in the midst of a Christian majority.
One Christmas Day in the early 1970s, the pews of a Methodist church in North Carolina were full as people waited for the service to begin. Then, a few black families came inside, and about half the congregation, which was entirely white, rose quietly to its feet and left.
The incident was June Mellinger’s “first experience with racism” as a child, and she watched, mortified, as her co-congregants shunned her playmates, the 50-year-old Lusby resident recalled. Mellinger’s father, a Vietnam War veteran who had just returned home for good, had invited the family’s neighbors to the church.
After enduring the service alongside those who had stayed, Mellinger asked her father if she had to go back to the church the family had attended regularly for years. Not if she didn’t want to, he replied.
“Needless to say, I’ve never once walked through those doors since. I was 12,” Mellinger wrote.
As a young adult, she explored Christianity again but eventually left for good. Now, she respects Christian friends and neighbors without sharing their beliefs, she said.
“I wouldn’t know what characteristics [my own faith] would be because it doesn’t fall under anything. I wouldn’t call myself an atheist because I do believe. I just don’t have a specific God that I believe in,” Mellinger said.
Others drifted out the church door without ever feeling pushed.
Shanon Nebo, 29, a La Plata atheist, was a faithful nondenominational Protestant until her early 20s, she said. Then, she started questioning what she’d been taught.
“It wasn’t, you don’t just wake up and say, ‘I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in God anymore.’ It was just basically a series of questions. And when I was Christian, I read the Bible a lot and I would see things in it and they just didn’t make any sense to me. They would kind of disagree with each other: God loves all of his children, but ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.’ God loves all his children and don’t judge each other, unless the other person is gay. … What I didn’t understand was, if we have this all-loving God, why are so many of us essentially damned?” Nebo said.
When she believed, Nebo fretted about the souls of Jews and Muslims, people brought up in their own religions just as she’d been raised as a Christian. When she stopped believing, she feared for her own.
“It was very scary. It took months before I really felt comfortable and stopped being scared. There was this fear, if I get in a car accident, what’s going to happen to me after I die?” she said.
Her father, a religious man, was also frightened for her, Nebo said. Recently, his fear melted into acceptance.
“Just this past Christmas, we went over there and he got out the Bible. And I was like, ‘Oh, gosh, here we go.’ It wasn’t so bad, and he asked us to read a passage out of the Bible. I think it was out of Timothy. Basically, the point of the passage is everyone is saved, no matter what. I guess he was explaining he was concerned because he was scared. He didn’t want me to go to hell after I die. And that passage shows that we’re all saved, so I guess he feels more comfortable now,” Nebo said.
Church was a place for fun and community when he was young, said Mike Morris of Issue. As a teenager, he played Joseph in his church’s Christmas pageant even though he’d secretly decided he didn’t believe in the Christian God.
Morris, 57, doesn’t apply a particular label to himself but said the word agnostic comes closest because he believes God is unknowable. His beliefs didn’t stop him from attending a church in La Plata with his girlfriend recently, but after two visits, he won’t be going back, he said.
After the first service, the pastor “asked me, ‘Are you a Christian?’ I said flat out, ‘No, I’m not.’ And it was like icicles formed in the room,” Morris remembered.
Still, he accompanied his girlfriend the next Sunday and found himself unexpectedly the center of attention.
“It seemed to me that they had made a plan to save my soul, so to speak, because the preacher did most of the preaching looking directly at me. [There was] a lot of stuff about, if you don’t believe Jesus is the son of God, et cetera, et cetera. … I knew he was talking to me. It got to a point where a few of them came over and literally laid their hands on me and said, ‘If you ever need any help, we’ll help you, blah, blah, blah, blah.’ I felt ganged up on. And it’s not what I was expecting,” Morris said.
Not wanting to experience that again, he won’t return, Morris said. But “I hold no grudge against them. They believe they have to do that. They believe I’m going to die in eternity and they’re going to live in eternity. Wouldn’t you want to tell somebody about that?”
Clifford Andrew prophesied trouble for a visitor inquiring about secularism, predicting that no one would speak up. He helps organize Maryland Freethinkers, an Annapolis-based “fellowship of people who share a worldview free of mystical and supernatural elements,” according to its website.
“Being an atheist today is almost like being gay 20 years ago,” Andrew said. “They’re afraid to talk about it. They’re in the closet. Atheists probably [are] one of the most discriminated-against groups in America. If you’re an atheist, they think you eat your kids.”
A psychological study summarized last January in Scientific American bore out this warning. Subjects considered a hypothetical driver who fled after hitting a parked car; they deemed him equally likely to be an atheist or a rapist, and unlikely to be Christian or Muslim. People expect good behavior from those who think God, the ultimate authority figure, is watching, the study’s authors concluded.
But secularists are generally as concerned with their fellow humans’ well-being as anyone else, local people said.
“I think it’s important to know that atheists are just normal people who want to lead a good life and do good things for other people,” said Matthew Jones, 25, of Lexington Park. “I know they can be demonized sometimes, but I just want people to know that they’re just like everyone else. There’s probably quite a few people you know that are atheists, and you wouldn’t even realize it.”
As an atheist, he still adheres to the Golden Rule because he cares about the well-being of other people, said the Air Force veteran. His lack of faith doesn’t affect his morality, but it does impact the way he sees the future.
“I do think it gives you a sense of, you’re in control of your own destiny, gives you kind of a different thought process, wanting to be in control of things,” because God is not in control, he said. “You try harder to get the things you want.”
Morris, a small-business owner, worried that some customers would shun him upon learning that he is not a Christian.
“If you’re an agnostic in Southern Maryland, you’d better keep your head down or you’re going to be in trouble. That’s what I think,” he said.
Other businesses use Christian symbolism, including the fish, to reassure customers that they won’t be ripped off.
“But I’m as honest as you are. I can’t put a fish on my thing in good conscience, but I’m as honest as you are. I get why they do it,” he said.
Christianity can serve as cover for the dishonest, including politicians, Morris said. “Bob Dylan had a line in a song of his: ‘To live outside the law, you must be honest.’ I get what he was saying. He was talking about criminals, gangsters, smugglers,” but it applies to secularists in a religious society as well, he said.
Religion is “used as a cover a lot. That’s all. If you’re not going to use that, you’re just a person. You are going to be judged on what you do, what your beliefs are and what your actions are. And I welcome that. I live my life morally, and I’m not doing it because I think I have to or I’ll die forever. To me, aren’t I more moral?” he asked.
Like Morris, Nebo and her husband Mark, 32, own a small business. Instead of fearing the impact of their nonbelief on trade, they embrace it, starting a second business, Be Secular, online a few months ago. The site offers bracelets and T-shirts emblazoned with the company name, which the couple hopes will embolden people to publicly display their lack of belief. Half of the proceeds go to atheist groups, according to the website.
The Nebos, who are active in several atheist groups and consider themselves activists, urge nervous doubters to reveal themselves.
“When most people have been honest with themselves and realize the doubt that has been inside them has really boiled over, they all say they wish they had done it earlier. There’s no reason to hide,” Mark Nebo said. “And that’s one of the messages I want people to have. If you don’t believe, if you’re just going through the motions to make others feel better, there are many other people and groups like you that are out there to help.”
But circumstances can make that revelation difficult. To avoid expulsion from his Christian high school, Jered Miller, 25, of Lexington Park kept his teenage doubts to himself. He lost friends when he returned to St. Mary’s County from Towson University as an “outspoken” atheist and finds Southern Marylanders more apt to “attack” him for his disbelief than were Baltimoreans.
“I’ve run into a lot of people that try to argue this way and tell me that I’m going to hell and get really upset when they hear somebody doesn’t believe the same way they do. I think it’s a mind-set propagated by the church that atheists are evil. We’re a bunch of godless heathens that just want to do whatever we want instead of subjecting ourselves to their kind of religious viewpoint,” Miller said.
That way of thinking is familiar to Jacob Wallace, 22, of Piney Point, who wants to start a local secular community service group. The organization would provide an outlet for people who want to help out but aren’t entirely comfortable with the Christian orientation of prominent charities like Habitat for Humanity. It would also demonstrate to the religious majority that secularists care about other people, too, said Wallace, a civilian employee of a military contractor.
“My goal for the group is basically to volunteer at least once a month, community outreach. … Just trying to do anything that’s positive for the community to show people you can do good without believing in God,” Wallace said.
In his short time in St. Mary’s County, Alan Wilkinson, 25, hasn’t encountered much “friction” from his atheism. He doesn’t mention it unless someone else brings up religion, and discussions about faith have been “civil.” This nonconfrontational approach extends to a group, organized online, of Southern Maryland secularists who meet up in restaurants to share a meal and conversation, said Wilkinson, who works for a military contractor and lives in California.
“We keep our voices down. We know that most people who are out having breakfast in the morning, they’re not going to want to hear a bunch of people saying that [we] think [their] religion is wrong,” Wilkinson said.
When he first moved to St. Mary’s County, Wilkinson tried attending a Unitarian Universalist church, a denomination that accepts nonbelief, in order to make friends. But it didn’t work out for the “scientifically minded” new arrival.
“That’s when I figured out that religious ceremonies weird me out. I just don’t get it,” he said. “Everyone has a group that they don’t quite understand. For example, think of hippies sitting around a drum circle or something, talking about how they’re going to change the world, smoking pot, not really doing anything about it. Sitting there and they’ve got these far-out, crazy ideas. It’s like, ‘OK, that’s cool, you guys have fun, but I don’t see how what you’re doing and what you’re talking about is really relevant to what’s going on.’”
To Justin Williams of La Plata, ninth-grade earth science class contradicted Baptist Sunday school. So he chose science.
“I had two books in front of me and, on Sunday, I would see this book,” the Bible, teaching that the world had been made in six days. “Then, I’d go to class on Monday. There’s tests, things that people have proven and found and discovered. This book seems to me just a lot more interesting, not just stories and tales. It’s things that people have done,” said Williams, 27.
For a while, Williams considered himself an atheist and made sure everyone knew it, he said. Now, he doesn’t ascribe a particular label to himself and is more reticent, partly to appease his Christian parents.
“I used to share every link or picture, something I saw on Facebook. It was all about shaking my fist, standing on a soapbox, yelling to the masses. Then, as offended as I would get when somebody tried to change my mind, I figured it would be just as offensive for me to do,” so he toned it down, he said.
Studying the sciences of anthropology, paleontology and aeronautics helped confirm Grenda Dennis of Lexington Park in her skepticism, although she already was not religious. So did the hippie movement, which emboldened her to question authority.
The stigma against nonbelievers seems to be fading, said Dennis, 67, even though the new tolerance isn’t particularly warm, she added.
“You can see this transition in the world today, where people are thinking about these things. I think that people are more accepting, but it’s not an overwhelming acceptance. They just say, ‘Oh, whatever, you’re wrong and go away,’” Dennis said.
Nothing is missing from her life despite lacking religion, Dennis said.
“All I have to do is look at nature, and I would imagine I get the same feeling that they do,” she said, a sentiment familiar to other Southern Maryland secularists. After rejecting the Methodist church, Mellinger found solace in the woods.
“I would get on my horse and just go somewhere on horseback, not go with any particular place in mind, just into the woods, God’s house. To me, that’s God’s house, not this church where people talk behind each other’s backs when they’re supposed to be Christian,” Mellinger said.
A symptom of pluralism?
The drift away from religion could reflect a distrust of hierarchy and the consequences of diversity rather than declining interest in spiritual matters, said Daniel Meckel, an associate professor of religious studies at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.
“As the population becomes more globally minded and aware of the vast diversity of religious perspectives in the world, it becomes harder and harder for them — or for us, if you want — to be uncritical of ourselves. Giving up theism doesn’t mean giving up spirituality,” Meckel said. “Agnostics and atheists can still be very spiritual but give up a sense of having a clear grasp on the ultimate.”
Nature could take the place of the Christian God, but people still seek to be “in touch with creative and powerful and loving forces beyond our ordinary experience,” he said.
No one truly rejects religion, Meckel insisted.
“I’ve got no beef with atheists at all, but lots of people who are atheists are so because they embrace what they call a scientific world view. But science has strong religious dimensions. … Doctrinaire science is as literalistic and conservative as fundamentalist religion. They’re two sides of the same coin in the sense that each considers itself to have a handle on truth, a monopoly on truth and [on] how to arrive at it,” he said.
That argument was familiar to, and vehemently rejected by, Rick Wingrove, founder of Beltway Atheists, a social and activist group comprising mainly Northern Virginians. Anyone can experience “this overwhelming sense of awe,” but “there’s nothing supernatural about it. It’s something all humans experience. It has nothing to do with gods or ghosts or demons,” he said.
Science differs from religion because science depends on evidence, added Wingrove, who is also an employee of American Atheists, a nationwide activist group.
“It’s nothing that we worship. It’s something we recognize as the one and only tool available to humans for the discovery of knowledge. It is a rigorous way of asking and answering questions, to study a problem and find the solution to that problem,” he said. “They say we have faith in science. That’s not faith, that’s confidence.”
