Carter bows out as WVSU president
After nearly a quarter-century on the job, the embattled president of West Virginia State University has decided to call it quits a week after a revolt by the school's faculty
Hazo W. Carter, Jr. announced today he has finalized plans to retire following recruitment and installation of a new president. Carter’s announcement continues the succession plan that he outlined to the Board of Governors in March 2011.
The announcement came following a closed-door meeting of the University’s Board of Governor’s Special Committee on Personnel Matters and Policy to discuss a response to a vote of no-confidence the faculty senate passed last week. Citing, among other things, declining enrollment, a nearly $1.5 million budget deficit and a poor image in the community, the resolution passed 67-15 with 14 abstentions.
Today’s Board meeting was one of two emergency meetings originally scheduled for this week following the no-confidence vote. It remains unclear if the other scheduled for this Friday at 2:15 p.m. at the Erickson Alumni Center will still be held.
In announcing his retirement, Carter extended thanks to those who’ve supported him since he became State's 10th president in 1987
“It is an honor to lead this great university,” Carter said. “I thank the students, alumni, faculty, staff, the Board of Governors and members of the community for offering me such a deeply rewarding opportunity.”
Details were not immediately available as to the terms of Carter's retirement.
According to a university press release, during Carter's tenure WVSU recovered its land-grant status, became a university, maintained continuous accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, established master’s degree programs, and received recognition as a research institution by the state and federal government.

Also, Carter was appointed chairman of the state's Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Commission in 1999 by then Gov. Cecil H. Underwood. It remains unclear if he will retain that position following today's announcement.
“We all celebrate Dr. Carter’s dedication and thank him for his time with us and his historic legacy,” said Larry L. Rowe, a Charleston attorney and the Board’s chairman.
“The university’s stature and mission have grown under Dr. Carter’s leadership.”
According to Rowe, the Board will begin a national search for a new president. The search is expected to be completed by July 1, 2012.
Sources tell the Free Press that R. Charles Byers, State’s vice-president of academic affairs, is slated to be in the interim president until a replacement is found.

Just In Time: An Important New Book for a World in a State of Flux | Economic Policy Journal
Even the casual observer of news must realize that the world is shifting at its core, that the future may very well be much different than the world we live in today.
The uprising in Tunisia and Egypt are just two examples of people desiring to be free of oppressive governments. In places like Tunisia and Egypt, the oppression is obvious. In other cases, such as the United States, the government moves may be a bit more slick, but the edge to the banksters and other power elite is becoming more obvious. In the U.S. this has spawned the Tea Party and others suspicious of ever-expanding government.
My chief complaint with these anti-regime movements has been that there seems to be no clear understanding of what the current regimes should be replaced with. The average man seems to have little understanding of the importance of free markets and its importance in creating a prosperous society.
In his new book, Rollback: Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Fiscal Collapse, Thomas E. Woods, Jr. addresses my complaint. Aimed primarily at a United States audience, the book brilliantly weaves facts with theories to explain why the United States is in the financial mess it is in today and the way out of the financial mess.

You're invited | LewRockwell.com
The historic first hearing of Chairman Ron Paul's monetary policy committee, to expose the Fed as the prime creator of unemployment and so much human suffering, will take place at: 10:00AM on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, in Room 2128 of the Rayburn House Office Building, the main hearing room of the Financial Services Committee. The witnesses include the eloquent Austro-free-market stars Thomas DiLorenzo of Loyola College and Richard Vedder of Ohio University.
The Fed itself, and at least three big banks, lobbied against Ron's chairmanship. Republicans who share their fear of the truth worked with Paul Ryan, chairman of the "Budget" Committee, to schedule hearings with Bernanke at the exact same time as Ron's, to try to diminish the significance of Ron's. Ryan, btw, is the fair-haired boy of the Republican leadership who gave the boring response to Obama's boring State of the Empire Address. Like the Republican leadership, Ryan talks about cutting spending, but that is only a ruse. Ryan is a big-government neocon, and so naturally supported TARP, Bush's prescription drug welfare, his wars, and the empire.
I don't believe this insider trick will work against Ron, because his support comes not fro
m the regime or the Republican leadership, but from the grassroots. I think the Paulians will pack Ron's hearings, and not only to show their support for him against the power elite. These hearings will have huge significance in the fight against the Fed, the fractional-reserve banksters, and other destroyers of our prosperity and freedom. It will also be a lot of fun!

Three arrested for bringing heroin into state | Charleston Daily Mail
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Weirton woman and two Pennsylvania residents were arrested for allegedly transporting heroin they planned to sell at West Virginia State University in Institute.
State Police were on the lookout Sunday night after troopers at the South Charleston detachment received a tip concerning two women identified as "Alicia" and "Kristen," who were on their way to the Charleston area from Pittsburgh in a gold or tan Dodge Stratus. They planned to deliver heroin and prescription drugs, according to a complaint filed
in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
The tipster warned that a dog would be in the vehicle with the women but that they would be in the area within a half hour. Trooper M.J. Napier was on patrol Sunday night when the tip came in and began watching the southbound lanes of Interstate 79 for the vehicle.
A tan Dodge Stratus passed by at 11:10 p.m. Sunday and Napier followed. The license plate was not illuminated, as mandated by state law, and there was a lot of movement inside the car from both passengers and a dog.
He stopped the car and identified the driver as Alicia Ciccarelli, 25, of Weirton, accompanied by two others, Rahman Terry, 33, of Keysrock, Pa., and Kristen McClure, 23, of Burgettstown, Pa.
