By LINDON DODD
Local columnist
Lindon Dodd — "Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the annual Jeffersonville Christmas Parade on Court Avenue from our viewing stand just across the street from Warder Park. Parking space has been an issue this afternoon since the Clark County Wellness Center seems to having some kind of going-out-of-business pill special this weekend.
Despite being a rainy afternoon, a large and hearty crowd has lined up along the parade route. I am waiting for my co-host to arrive on the platform and I hear some commotion. Yes, I hear the music and the Honorable Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore is making his way up the steps. "Hello, Mr. Mayor! What's with the boom box?"
Mayor Moore — "Lindon, it's playing my theme song, you know, Hail to the Chief!"
Lindon — "Uh, sir, that's usually reserved for the President of The United States. Anyway, what's with the shiny Richard Simmons pants and the tank top?"
Moore — "Sorry, I just came from my Jazzercise class and didn't have time to change. Before that I was at the gym; lifting weights. Look at those guns. Feel them. "
Lindon — "I really want to feel your, um, guns, sir. I must apologize for not being given the line-up for this year's floats. I will have to figure them out as they pass by me. Here comes the first one. It looks like the Clark County Commissioners entry. I see outgoing Commissioners Les Young and Ed Meyer. I was just told that John Perkins couldn't make it because he had an appointment. I know you worked with both of them as a commissioner yourself. I guess you have some mixed feelings about their political defeats?"
Moore — "NA-NA-NA-NA, NA-NA-NA-NA, HEY-HEY-HEY ... GOODBYE."
Lindon — "Good to see there are no hard feelings, mayor. The next float coming into view is the Greater Clark County Schools board. They are dressed up in their caroling choir robes. Let's listen in to their version of "Let It Snow, let it snow, let it snow;
"The Jeff High culture was shifting,
With no charges for shoplifting,
He had discipline under control,
Jim must go, Jim must go, Jim must go!
When the GPA was dragging,
He said no more pants a-sagging,
Momentum; it wasn't slow,
Jim must go, Jim must go, Jim must go!
Moore — "Sounds like the Moron Tabernacle Choir (chuckle, chuckle)! And they got a new superintendent to run things his way. What is his name?"
Lindon — "It's Dr. Andrew Melin. He claims it was solely him who decided to transfer Jim Sexton from Jeffersonville High School.
Moore — "I know. I hope after a couple of years dealing with our school board they aren't calling him Dr. Marshmelin, (laughter)!"
Lindon — "That was witty, sir. You really toasted him on that one. I hope you have "Smore" of those one-liners. The Super Majority certainly have exercised their voting power in the last year. Speaking of power, how's that mayor thing going for you?"
Moore — "It's like magic. I want something done and I just do it. Hey, I like that. From now on you can call me Magic Mike!"
Lindon — "Mayor, I'm not sure that's an appropriate nickname, what with the Matthew McConaughey movie and all, er, uh, never mind. Coming into view is a float that looks like a large pair of pants. I can make out the letters, it's the Deep Pockets Float and it's co-sponsored by local attorneys Steve Voelker and Larry Wilder. I guess those guys have made a few dollars in the last couple of years with lawsuits against local municipalities. I don't suspect any, cough, uhhh, demonstration in front of a certain attorney's office might have come with repercussions."
Moore — "As mayor, you learn that lawsuits are just part of the business as usual."
Lindon — "Funny, but I don't recall any demonstrations outside of Steve Voelker's office this past year? By the way, what's that book you brought with you?"
Moore — "I'm glad you asked. You know we have started a new no-kill policy at the J.B. Ogle Animal Shelter and this is a book we have published to raise funds which explains the problem with overpopulation of unwanted cats and dogs and the need for spaying and neutering."
Lindon — What's it called?"
Moore — "I came up with the title, "Fifty Shades of Stray!"
Lindon — "That's very clever and topical, sir. Coming just into view we have a decorated entry resembling an 'Alice In Wonderland' theme. It's the Clark County Tea Party float. And I think I recognize the Mad Hatter. That's the newly elected county council person, Republican (cough, cough) and Tea Party president Kelly Khuri."
Moore — "I think I would consider joining the Tea Party under the right conditions."
Lindon — "I can see where any member of the Democratic Party would agree to that being a possibility for the next election season. I see moving past us is a pretty plain entry. It looks like just am empty, undecorated flatbed trailer being pulled by a truck. I've just been handed a note that this was supposed to be the Exit 0 — Salute to the Homeless float. It seems that their decorating materials came up missing right during the Christmas season. Some people never seem to get a break.
"Well, it's the moment the children have been waiting for as the Santa float is quickly approaching. Those rosy cheeks, that little round body and those eyes — yes, it is, its former Mayor Tom Galligan sitting in the sleigh. And who is that bearded oversized elf beside him? I would have never thought it possible but that's Mike Hutt throwing candy canes from Santa Galligan to the crowd. They say politics makes strange bedfellows. I wonder if that means we haven't seen the last of old Tommy G.
"Uh, Mayor, what's with the skin-tight Spanx pants?"
Moore — "Sorry, Lindon, but I have to rush off to my afternoon Zumba class."
Lindon — "Oh, well, this is Lindon Dodd along with your mayor, er, ah, 'Magic Mike' Moore wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season. Mayor, can you turn down the volume, hey, wait a minute, I recognize that song. Mayor Moore has the whole crowd dancing along with him to that You Tube hit sensation, 'Gagnum Style!'"
Moore — (overheard to supporters in the crowd) — "OK, everybody, hands together and feet moving!"
Lindon — "(breathlessly) That's (panting) all there is from Court Avenue for the 2012 Christmas Parade crew. Here's from my household to yours wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!"

Apparently, Patrick Chambers felt a little badly about the way Saturday's win over Nebraska turned out for Penn State's fans.
Or maybe the Nittany Lions' basketball coach is just in the Valentine's Day spirit.
Either way, Chambers will be at the McDonald's on College Avenue from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday giving out free Big Macs to the first 200 Penn State students who bring a ticket stub from Saturday's 67-51 defeat of Nebraska in the Bryce Jordan Center or wear a Nittany Nation T-shirt.
Penn State has had a season-long promotion that allows fans to redeem ticket stubs from home games for free Big Macs every time the Nittany Lions score 70 points or more. Penn State had 67 points with just over two minutes remaining in Saturday's game but Chambers, who had a big lead and didn't want to show up Nebraska's Doc Sadler, pulled his starters and instructed his backups to hold the ball for the final possession.

Parents of Drew Ferraro--a 15-year-old boy who took his own life at nearby Crescenta Valley High School--are alleging that Glendale Unified School District did not protect their son against bullying and harassment, according to The Glendale News-Press.
The Ferraro family filed a $2-million claim against the district in July.
Drew Ferraro, 15, climbed the roof of a CVHS building and took a running jump to his death before his peers and school staff on Feb. 10, 2012.
According to the child's autopsy report, the student had a history of mental health problems. Medical examiners found traces of marijuana and Citalopram detected in the toxicology report. Citalopram, an anti-depressant, was found in Drew's system in amounts "consistent with therapeutic use.
His parents, John and Deana Ferraro, confirmed that their son was treated for depression and say that their son was bullied, The News-Press reported.
Sheriff's Homicide investigators told Patch in February 2012 that four suicide notes were left by Drew and these notes did not show evidence of bullying.

Eamonn Fingleton, Contributor
A sharp eye on media bias, official propaganda, and globaloney.
My colleague Steve Denning's commentary today on Boeing's 787 problems is on the money in identifying a key managerial wrong turning a decade ago. Boeing decided at the outset to rely on outsourcing for 70 percent of the plane's manufactured content. As Steve shows at length, this greatly increased the managerial complexity of the project and almost certainly helps explain why the project ended up three years late (with consequent damage not only to Boeing's reputation but, thanks to contractual penalties, to its immediate bottom line).
Even more troubling, however, has been the long-term cost in weakening Boeing's competitiveness. This is something I identified in "Boeing, Boeing….Gone," a cover story for The American Conservative, as far back as 2005. The point is that among the things Boeing has outsourced have been the wings and the wing-box. These are by far the most technologically advanced elements of an airframe and they were outsourced to a Japanese consortium led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Part of the deal was that much of Boeing's secret wing-building know-how had to be transferred to Japan. The decision was highly controversial with Boeing workers who saw it as a direct threat to their jobs. Outraged at the prone position they were asked to adopt towards their information-gathering Japanese counterparts, they were quoted by author Karl Sabbagh as vulgarly referring to Boeing's technology-transfer deal as the "open kimono" policy.
Of course, you might think that what was outsourced yesterday can be insourced today. Actually this rarely happens in the real world, at least not where seriously advanced manufacturing is concerned. In this case a key problem is that the 787′s are made of carbon fiber. The learning curve in putting this tricky new material to work has been climbed by Tokyo-based Toray and Mitsubishi, not by Boeing. Unfortunately Boeing seems to have negotiated no effective access to the industrial secrets the Japanese have acquired. In effect Boeing has been left behind by its suppliers and cannot catch up without major costs that, given the relentless pressure for short-term profits in corporate America, will never seem to be worth incurring.
As a practical matter, the Airbus subsidiary of Netherlands-based EADS, will use Japanese-made carbon-fiber for the wings of its next major plane. The net effect is that the Japanese have suddenly bootstrapped themselves to leadership in the jetliner industry. (It should be noted that Japan's aggregate contribution to the 787 comes to 30 percent, the same as that of the United States.) All this is the more piquant because Mitsubishi seems to be planning in the long run to enter the fray as a direct competitor to Boeing and Airbus in building full-size commercial jetliners. Already Mitsubishi is working with Toyota Motor to launch a 90-seat regional jetliner in 2017.
As for the immediate problem of getting the 787 back into the air, the news this morning is that overcharging seems to have been ruled out as the cause of the battery problems at the center of the crisis. Meanwhile Securaplane, a subsidiary of Britain's Meggitt, which makes chargers for the 787, has announced it is cooperating in the effort to find the source of the problem.
Right …like the ipod, ipad, iphone, samsung plasma TV's etc….sure suggest you check what is actually made in China these days.
So, it comes down to basic executive decisions on outsourcing the majority of manufacturing. That says alot about US manufacturing over the last 20 years, and that of course says alot about the US economy, as well. Having worked in quality for over 30 years, I certainly can see that relationship, but it is the executive decisions that seem most relevant here to me. Those factors often go unreported, even though they are so basic to some of our current problems.
Exactly right. Simple isn't it.
General Motors and Schwinn bicycles same same.
The A350 XWB wings are to be manufactured at Airbus' Broughton (UK) site.
This is the ongoing 1% vs 99% issue. The 1% see no disadvantage to their interests — no threats to their "jobs" as it were, and more income for them. They are globalists. They are the ones who are claimed by their toadies that if they are taxed more they would leave the country.
They have no loyalty to the US, its economy, its human intellectual capital, or the overall health in the US.
I have never understood how outsourcing benefits America or Americans. And yet, we watch industry after industry do it and suffer the consequences.
"Of course, you might think that what was outsourced yesterday can be insourced today."
Most unkindest cut of all.
As with any new aircraft the dependability is like a bell curve. At first there are a lot of technical glitches and as Pilots and Mechanics learn how to deal with them reliability improves. The more advanced the aircraft the more difficult it is for the flight crew to collectively translate the information to the maintenance tech what he sees is wrong. Then there are no real brain trusts for the maintenance tech to go to in order to interpret what is wrong. Sure they have manuals and it can take hours to search and find the answer. Reboot becomes the common term. Which basically means, shut it all down and start over.
The issue here in is due to a giant cultural change. The aircraft is culturally different than anything anyone has flown or worked on before. Outsourced parts are not proven and may often have to be remade to a higher quality and standard.
As the bell curve of reliability continues and peaks the aircraft and all of the support will eventually be at its peak. As parts wear out the curve will descend and it will be up to the companies to decide how they will support the fleet or will they run to the next big thing and start the cycle over.
I for one believe in the basics. Do not keep trying to reinvent the wheel if what is working for you is at nearly 100 percent reliability. This aircraft does not come from the traditional Boeing culture and that will be its greatest challenge.
This'll start a fistfight; try and disprove This: After a week of stories on the battery, no one asks about the charger? Well, actually, you haven't been told one shred of a tenth of the story.
A whistleblower lawsuit extensively documents the Boeing 787 charging system's explosive history and fiery birth at Securaplane. Ponder the following-and try not to spill your coffee…
*Securaplane is the company you don't hear about, despite their obvious centrality to the story about the battery and charging system; they MAKE the charger.
*From the last sentence of the article: " Meanwhile Securaplane, a subsidiary of Britain's Meggitt, which makes chargers for the 787, has announced it is cooperating in the effort to find the source of the problem." Really? Google " Securaplane whistleblower lawsuit' sometime.
*A web search for "Securaplane whistleblower" or 'Securaplane fire' delivers an avalanche of documentation, yet the media has observed a near surgical avoidance of any mention of the company at all, although the battery manufacturer, with over 40 satellites orbiting with their hardware, has been widely panned.
The Securaplane story got its first legs in Australia when aviation journalist Ben Sandilands ran it last week. Sandilands, a highly respected and astute expert on the industry did his due diligence and vetted the details I relayed to him-his article is worth looking up:
In my discussions with engineers from NASA and a number of aircraft manufacturers this weekend, all expressed surprise that the wrongdoing exposed in the whistleblower lawsuit were not common knowledge-they had not heard of it until now either.
Securaplane's denial mechanism needs little help; the smoke from their devastating 2006 fire casts a pall over the 787′s electrical system and their role in Boeing certifying the aircraft despite widely known faults and a trail of criminal action up to and including manipulation of the FAA.
Maybe it's time for the SEC to get involved, since neither the media nor the rest of the government have so far shown the acumen to accomplish a simple web search.
During the Securaplane whistleblower laswuit, a Securaplane employee at one point testified that records were unavailable to the judge because the admin section of their facility, had, like the engineering section, 'burned to the ground'. All this from testing a Boeing 787 battery charging system and ignoring the protests of the technician who knew the outcome would be gruesome. The three alarm fire itself is hard to research; one local news organization which covered it claims that their servers had dumped all records, stories and photos, videos from a period that brackets that time to somewhere in 2009.
How's your confidence in trusted agencies, companies and officials doing now?
I look at a even bigger picture of American companies as a whole selling out America because of the bottom line. The question remains I guess if American industry can survive at all if it has to make these kind of deals just to make a product. This is not just a Boeing issues as we have seen similar problems in the auto industry, computer industry and many others. Apple comes to mind as a American company who cannot make much in the US without sacraficing profits.
I basically feel that the more you out source a complicated product like a jet or a auto. The more your expose yourself to companies who may also be looking at margins. The problem is that inferior parts on a automobile are bad enough. On a aircraft its much worse.

The New KornShell—ksh93
The Unix system was one of the first systems that didn't make the command interpreter a part of the operating system or a privileged task. It was written as an ordinary user process with no special permissions or calls to unadvertised functions. This has led to a succession of better and better shells. The early generations of Unix came with a command shell written by Ken Thompson, one of the inventors of the Unix system. By the late 1970s, two vastly improved shells emerged. The Bourne shell, created by Steve Bourne at Bell Telephone Laboratories, was a big improvement as a language. The C shell, created by Bill Joy at the University of California at Berkeley, was a much improved command interpreter but a poor language.
The KornShell, written by David Korn at Bell Telephone Laboratories, combined the best features of both of these shells, and added the ability to edit and reenter the current and previous commands using the same keystrokes as either the vi or the Emacs editor as the user desired. This shell became very popular, but its distribution was restricted. As a result, several freely available imitations such as pdksh and bash were created. An enhanced version of C shell, tcsh, was created to provide visual editing to C shell users.
While the Bourne shell provided a good basis for programming, and this was improved upon by earlier versions of KornShell, it was not adequate for general purpose scripting without combining it with other languages such as the awk programming language. While in most instances the two languages work well together, the performance penalty of using two languages with separate processes is often prohibitive. The Perl language was created to provide a single language with the combined functionality of the shell and awk. However, Perl has a syntax that many find difficult to understand.
ksh93, the latest major revision of the KornShell language provides an alternative to Tcl and Perl. As a programming language, it has comparable speed and functionality to each of these languages, yet is arguably the best interactive shell. It is a superset of the POSIX 1003.2 shell standard. Like Tcl, it is extensible and embeddable with a C language application programming interface. In fact, two graphical shells have been created using ksh93. One of these, dTksh, is a Motif-based language developed by Novell. The other, Tksh, written by Jeff Korn at Princeton University, uses the Tk library, and is briefly discussed here.
The best way to describe the new features found in ksh93 is to illustrate them through an example. We will create a shell script named lsc, shown in Listing 1, to provide an ls output with subdirectory names printed in bold. We will need to maintain the multi-column output associated with the standard ls.
The lsc script will produce the ls output for each directory name provided as a command line argument. The default action is to produce the ls output for the current directory. Several modifications can be made to the lsc script for enhanced performance. We leave them as an exercise for the reader. We perform the following high level actions for each directory name to be processed.
for each directory do
load directory entries into array entries load entries calculate number of columns in multi-column output calculate maximum number of rows print the current directory name determine output layout add entries to row[] array add entries to col[] array calculate the column widths display the output
ksh93 provides one-dimensional indexed and associative arrays. An array element is referenced as varName[subscript]. Indexed arrays use arithmetic expressions for subscripts. This permits computation within the subscript expression. The statement varName[3+8] for example, references the 11th element of the indexed array. (Arithmetic expressions are described more fully below).
The elements of an indexed array can be initialized from a list using the varName=(....) command. This provides a convenient notation for initializing an array to contain the names of files in a given directory. The number of entries in the array describes the number of files found. As an example, consider the following statement to initialize the entries indexed array with the names of files found in the current directory: entries=(*)
An associative array uses arbitrary strings for subscripts. We could, for example, create a state tax associative array and reference elements by the state name. This works even for space separated tokens within the string, such as New Jersey.
typeset -A StateTax StateTax[New Jersey]=0.06 print ${StateTax[New Jersey]}
Several special positional parameter expansions are provided for array processing. Using ${varName[@]} refers to all elements of the array. The subscripts of an array can be referenced with ${!varName[@]}. The notation ${#varName[@]} provides the number of elements within the array. Elements within a numeric subscript range can be referenced using ${varName[@]:offset:length}. This special notation works with both indexed and associative arrays.
Arrays are used throughout the example lsc script. We define video as an associative array with capability names from the terminfo database as subscripts. The definition of video is provided as a compound assignment for an associative array.
video=( [bold]=$(tput bold) [reset]=$(tput reset) [reverse]=$(tput reverse) )
Each element is assigned a value from the standard output of a tput execution for the capability name. For example, video[bold] is the terminfo sequence for bold lettering. Similarly, video[reverse] will provide reverse video output.
Using the notation $(command) will cause command to execute in a subshell of the current ksh. In many instances, ksh will not actually fork/exec a subshell when command is a built-in or a shell function. (Built-in functions are described below).
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Finally, the heat and drought of summer has been broken. Sure, it will be hot again before it is cold, and dry again before we get to the rainy season. But this little break has me thinking about the clear blue skies and the blaze of colors just around the corner. So maybe now is the time to name some of those beauties who are getting ready to show themselves off.
One of the easiest perennials to own and grow is Amsonia hubrictii. This ferny foliaged fellow is clean all summer, pest free, and makes a great companion to broad leaf perennials. But it turns copper in the fall, and as the angle of the sun changes and catches the lower angles, it literally shines in the landscape.
We certainly think about tree color when we think of fall color. Here's one on the very top of my list: Pistacia chinensis. This is a very tough tree in the heat, and particularly in the drought. It makes a nice large tree with a beautiful head on it. But take a look at that color.....Can you imagine any better color?
Color doesn't just come from foliage, either. The bounty of fall is full of beautiful, colorful, fruits of all kinds. One example is Ilex vomitoria 'Virginia Dare'. Yes, this is one of many many hollies. The foliage is nice and clean, the deer won't bother it, and these luminescent orange berries last all winter long.
It is time to start dreaming about fall, and planning for it, too. I'll be adding to this list of "must have" fall plants over the coming days. Start taking notes. Fall is also for planting, and you are going to want to include some of these gems in your garden. Something to look forward to!

BURLINGTON — A former WCAX-TV reporter who had covered the Plattsburgh area has pleaded not guilty to charges that he groped a woman.
Matt Henson, who has been suspended by the Burlington-based station, pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and committing a prohibited act.
Lyndonville Police told the Burlington Free Press that Henson, 30, of South Burlington groped a woman under her clothing without her consent twice at Packing House bar in Lyndon early on March 15 and that he had also pinned her against a wall.
Henson allegedly had a blood-alcohol content of 0.194 percent and was taken to detox after his arrest.
He was initially charged with lewd conduct, which is a felony, and disorderly conduct, a violation. But on Monday, the Caledonia County State's Attorney's Office upgraded the second charge to a prohibited act, which is a misdemeanor.
Lewd and lascivious conduct carries a possible sentence of up to five years in prison and fines, and a conviction for committing a prohibited act could mean up to a year in prison and fines.
Vermont Superior Court Judge Mary Teachout released Henson on conditions, the Free Press reported.
WCAX has said that Henson is still an employee but will be on unpaid leave until the investigation concludes.

Phillip Sims is the most experienced quarterback on the Virginia roster, and the only one who appeared in a game for the Cavaliers last season.
But when Virginia released its pre-spring depth chart earlier this week, the rising junior was listed third at the quarterback position. And on Saturday, Sims said he didn't have an explanation why.
"It is what it is," he said after Saturday's practice. "I don't know nothing about how it came that way, or what's going on. But it is what it is, man."
Sims was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA last summer after transferring to Virginia from Alabama. He appeared in all 12 games for the Cavaliers, including four starts, throwing for 1,263 yards and nine touchdowns, with four interceptions.
Michael Rocco, who split time with Sims last year, transferred to Richmond after the season. But sophomore David Watford, who redshirted last year after playing as a true freshman in 2011, and redshirt freshman Greyson Lambert are both listed ahead of Sims on the spring depth chart.
Head coach Mike London stressed after Monday's first day of spring practice that too much shouldn't be taken from the depth chart.
"They all know that everybody's competing for a job out here, so the quarterback situation is no different than the DBs or the running backs," London said.
And Sims -- who was only briefly available to the media on Saturday before hustling off to a meeting -- had little else to say about the situation.
"I'm here to play football, man," he said. "Nobody wants to hear excuses about "What's going on with this? How's this going?"

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — In the midst of a 1-7 season, North Tonawanda boys swimming coach Kevin O'Donnell has leaned heavily on one of his leaders — senior Nick Vossler — to keep the team focused and, at times, lighten the mood.
Vossler has been the perfect man for the job.
He swims four events regularly (200 medley relay, 200 individual medley, 100 breast stroke and 400 free relay), giving McDonnell a versatile swimmer that has competed in every race on the board at some point in his career. McDonnell looks to his senior to have a positive impact on the rest of his team.
"Nick is a leader on the team," he said. "As a senior, his light-hearted and positive attitude serves as a good example to the rest of the team. He has a strong work ethic and is constantly seeking to improve."
The disappointing season has taken a toll on NT's spirits, but Vossler always takes it upon himself to lighten up the mood. He's always quick to tell any of his coaches that will listen that the zombie apocalypse may be coming. "I don't really believe it would happen but I always tell everybody — be prepared, always be prepared," Vossler said.
In the pool, Vossler's demeanor changes. He said that being a competitive swimmer requires a strong mind and an unflappable dedication to training. During the school year student-athletes are forced to manage a number of activities and finding a balance between them is an everyday challenge. Vossler also plays volleyball in the fall and McDonnell said that he's always impressed with how well Vossler — a member of the National Honors Society — performs in both the pool and the classroom.
"Nick pushes himself to go above and beyond," McDonnell said. "He puts the work in at practice, but he also takes the time before and after to talk to the coaches about strategy, how to improve his breaststroke and his plans for the zombie apocalypse."
Vossler has battled asthma since he was a little kid and it continues to flare up every once in a while, but he is never phased by his ailment. McDonnell said his determination as a swimmer is never more evident than when he comes back after sitting out to catch his breath.
Swimming in the relays for the Lumberjacks has been Vossler's most memorable experience this season. He likes the teamwork aspect to the race and said he feels like everyone pushes each other to be better.
His strongest event is the 200 IM and McDonnell said he's put in a lot of work to be the team's threat in a race that most swimmers struggle to master.
Vossler said it's his mindset that's allowed him to separate himself from the rest of the pack.
"The 200 IM is like the 200 medley relay, but you're doing it all yourself," he said. "I love it and I perform the best at it. I have to put myself in a whole different mindset for the IM than other events. I feel like I'm stronger when I swim that event because not everybody can do all four strokes very efficiently. It works really well with me and I love it. I power through it."
McDonnell said Vossler is having success because of the work he has put in, and he expects him to continue to perform well for the Jacks.
"Like everything else, (having success in the pool) takes a dedication to improve and a commitment to the sport," McDonnell said. "The top finishers put 100 percent in at practice and knowing how they train at practice, reflects how they swim at meets."
North Tonawanda is back in the pool today on the road against Lockport at 5 p.m.Contact Sports Editor Matt Parrino at 693-1000 ext. 4117 and find Tonawanda News sports on Twitter @tonanewssports.

Neosho High School senior Paige O'Neill, whom soccer coach Steve Schnackenberg has penciled in to start for a fourth season, has signed a letter of intent with Missouri S&T of Rolla.
"Her strengths start with dedication and commitment," Schnackenberg said of the midfielder on Tuesday.
"She's spent a lot of time with a soccer ball.
"Paige is very coachable. She has good vision and a good understanding of the game," Schnackenberg said. "She can play physical, too.
"She's very unselfish. She needs to shoot the ball more," Schnackenberg said.
"She always is trying to set up teammates.
"Paige is very intelligent," Schnackenberg said. "She can handle the load in the classroom as well as on the soccer field."
Paige, the daughter of Robbin and Mike O'Neill, plans to major in chemical engineering.
The Miners, coached by Joe McCauley, were 6-11 overall and 4-11 in the GLVC in 2012. They opened the season 4-1.
Schnackenberg said Neosho has dropped to Class 2 from Class 3 in a realignment by MSHSAA.
"We graduated three players. We expect to have a good corps of returnees (from a team that lost to Joplin in a Class 3 district final)," he said.
"We're looking for our first district championship.
"This could be the year," he said. "We'll be facing different teams, such as Carl Junction, in the postseason."
Schnackenberg, a graduate of Neosho (1988) and Missouri Southern, is in his seventh season as the girls head coach.
Neosho graduate Erica Morris was a freshman soccer player last fall at Hannibal-La Grange, Schnackenberg said.

Recently there has been much controversy over the achievement gap and citizens were not shy about voicing their opinions at the Charlottesville School Board meeting on Tuesday, February 15, 2005.
"Despite the best efforts of our educators I think we all agree there are a number of deficiencies in our school that point conclusively to the fact that the needs of many of our black students are not being addressed. Black students continue, for example, to be under-represented in our gifted an advanced classes, and over-represented in special needs classes," said one educator.
Some took it a step further and discussed a few of the allegations that have been circulating about racism in the school system.
Rick Turner, dean of African-American Studies at the University of Virginia, said "It's all part of a carefully orchestrated plan. Racist emails that [were] written to the school board chair and the superintendent, secret side bars, deceitful, incompetent administrators who allow themselves to be set up."
One educator said people are looking at it all wrong. "There is a very large body of evidence that shows that the achievement gap correlates to socio-economic status primarily," said Jeffery Russman.
He said negativity shouldn't be the focus. "They are utterly counterproductive and if there is any argument for a new system for a school board, it's the situation that you've created here," continued Russman.
Another educator said the reason why there was so much controversy was because the achievement gap has been passed over at the school board meetings too many times.

CORBIN — By Becky Killian, Editor
A fire destroyed a garage at a Knox County home Monday morning.
According to West Knox Volunteer Fire Rescue Chief Darryl Baker, his department was dispatched at 9:48 a.m. and, when they arrived at the home at 2870 Hwy. 1232 they found the garage fully engulfed. It took about 20 minutes to get the fire under control. Firefighters remained on scene until 11:13 a.m.
Baker said a man was working on a car in the garage, which was heated with a wood burning stove. The man told firefighters he left the building for only a few minutes before he was alerted by a neighbor that the building was on fire. The car was destroyed. Baker said the fire is not considered suspicious.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Photo from biopic of West Allis native Liberace starring Douglas, Damon
The first official image of Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in "Behind the Candelabra," about West Allis native Liberace, has been released by HBO.
The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh, whose new film "Side Effects" opens in theaters this Friday.
Soderbergh has said he took the Liberace project to HBO after being told by movie studios that the project was "too gay" to play in theaters.
The movie is based on the book by Scott Thorson, played by Damon. Thorson was Liberace's companion for five years.
Born Wladziu Valentino Liberace in 1919 in West Allis, Liberace started playing piano at the age of 4.
In later years, he added a candelabra to the top of his piano and it became his trademark along with a flamboyant personality and outlandish outfits.
In 1952, he starred in his own successful syndicated television series and, over the years, recorded dozens of albums, appeared on countless network shows and in films.
He was repeatedly accused of homosexuality in the press and successfully sued several publications. In a 1988 TV movie, he was played by Victor Garber.
Liberace died of pneumonia related to AIDs in 1987. The HBO movie is expected to air this spring.

Today, China is the world's largest car market with more than 12 million cars sold in 2011. Volvo Cars' new plants will be a welcome addition to meet the large demand – in last year alone, the company's sales in China increased by 54 percent.
In Chengdu in south-eastern China, a complete car factory is being built with a capacity of 120,000 cars a year.
"We are installing the production equipment in June and after tests and running adjustments, production is scheduled to commence in the second half of 2013," says Lars Danielsson, Director of Production in China.
In Daqing in north-eastern China, a second factory is being ¬prepared in parallel and an engine factory is being planned.
The goal is to sell 200,000 cars in the Chinese market in 2015.
The objective is for the cars that leave the factory in Chengdu to have the same quality standard as those that leave Torslanda or Ghent.
"There should simply not be any difference, we follow Volvo Global Standards – and this also applies to our suppliers," says Lars Danielsson.
There are carmakers from around the world in China so both international and Chinese suppliers are there. The new factories are being built to a high environmental standard.

I am struggling with extreme sadness, self harm, and suicidal thoughts.
Since, I want to say, early June, I have been increasingly suicidal. Not actions, just thoughts. But I came to a realization two days ago that I really, desperately need help. What made me notice this? Well, I keep a journal, and in my journal I described my plan as to HOW to commit suicide. Now, I didn't think anything of it when it was just a train of thought. But as soon as I read it as written word, I realized--this is serious. I've just planned how I would kill myself. [br>[br>So what am I looking for help with?[br>[br>My family situation is not particularly great. My parents and siblings are all functioning fine, no divorces, no deaths, however, my personality and opinions conflict with those of my parents. For this reason, I rarely talk to either of my parents. ESPECIALLY about serious matters. It's just not something we do. There is no dispute between us, as there is no discussion in general. [br>[br>My parents are very, very judgmental individuals, therefore I am extremely uncomfortable discussing my current situation with them by word. In addition, my mom saw one of my scars, and asked if it was a scar. I replied saying yes, and she asked no further questions. The scar is in a shape of a triangle--there is no way I could have gotten it other than self harm, so it should be pretty obvious to her.
So, I want your help as parents. Should I work to talk to my parents about this, and if so, how?
OR, should I look for someone else to talk to, and if so, who?
Also, I am 16 and live with both of my parents. There are no others in my family who I am super close to, and I have one friend who I could probably talk to eventually, but he's only 17.
ANYTHING you can think to say, I really appreciate it. Thank you!!
I am so happy you wrote and reached out. First off, here is a link I'd like you to look at regarding crisis...
Someone there will talk to you, someone who understands suicidal thoughts.
I am a mom who has 4-daughters. 2-of my daughters have depression, so I believe I understand a bit of your feelings.
My girls have a hard time expressing their thoughts to me too - I am not a professional, but their mom (well, sometimes I like to think I'm a "Professional Mom"...LOL)
Anyway, I think talking to someone outside your family might be a good start.
What about a school counselor, or someone from your church? or a close family friend ? Do you have a friend who's parent you connect with, or an Aunt or Uncle?
There are some good people who do care and will listen to you.
I'm sure your parents love you, but don't quite know how to connect on the level you need right now.
If there is no one you can think of to talk to, then please call the crisis / suicide hotline link I pasted. Some there will help and give you a starting point.
I'm glad you wrote sweetie, write back anytime, ok?
Could I ask, how did your daughters go about talking to you? I have always been the girl who talked to her parents, but lately my parents have been constantly reprimanding me for my words, whether that's an opinion that they disagree with, or something I worded wrong, and they mock me about it. So I've learned over the past few months to just stop sharing with them, entirely. And it's worked out, except now, when I DO need to share something, I can't talk to anyone.
It's very possible that they've always mocked me, and I just never took offense, but either way, I'm not really talking with them about much more than "what's for dinner?" you know?
Thanks again for the help.
I am a mom of someone who had a failed suicide attempt. Please do what you have to do to reach out to someone to get help. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents talk to someone. Someone you trust.
From a mother's perspective, I am sure you are NOT a burden you your parents, and while they may not understand your inner feelings, I bet they would listen, care and want to help you.
My daughters situation was a bit different. My middle daughter had a shift of mood at about 14. She became more irritable, withdrawn and I just felt something wasn't right. I found a female psychologist and she started therapy.
My youngest had behavioral issues at age 6, and she began to get worse and worse. I took her to a Child Psychologist. My other 2-daughters have no mental health issues, but are compassionate with their sisters.
How about writing your parents a letter? You could put down your concerns (like you mentioned your journal writings), your worries and ask that they please take you seriously because you feel this is unhealthy thinking, and you want to feel better.
A second option could be to re-visit the school counselor as someone to listen to you.
I don't want you to think you are a burden or causing trouble for your parents. I am sure they would want to know how you are feeling Ella, so think about writing a letter, ok??
Let me know how it goes!!!
Take care sweetie and write back any time!
I am so sorry you have been trying to handle this on your own and so proud of you to recognize you need to ask for help.
You have been given some great advice from the moms here and I also want to encourage you to network even more, please reach out and call a crisis line.
If you search around some of the crisis links you will see that you are not alone. It may be easier to pick up the phone and talk with someone. Talk to someone about how to talk with your parents and how to find a doctor or counselor to help you.
This article, How to Talk to Your Parents , doesn't have all the answers, but it does give a few ideas to use to begin opening up and talking to your parents.
Please check back in to let us know how you are doing,
In addition, due to my own way of being, I am very confident. Not in a prideful passion, but in a way that I don't appear the type of girl who would EVER be depressed, or self-harming, or anything of that sort. For this reason, I would think, my parents have no inclination that I am doubting myself. Sure, I am entirely comfortable in my own skin, but hardly comfortable in my abilities. It's gotten so far that I literally have no hobbies where I used to have many, and I nearly refuse to speak to strangers as I fear the words that will come out of my mouth! But my parents have no clue. Or they do, and they're not interested in changing it.
One last thing that I would like to share is a problem I am having with my sister, Lila. She is 18 months younger than myself, and therefore considers herself my equal, giving her rights to say to me whatever she deems appropriate. For example, let me recount a simple conversation she had with myself in the car. In the vehicle was my sister Lila, myself, my older sister Terra (driving, 18) and my youngest sister Eve (13). A Demi Lovato song was playing on the radio. I am very fond of Demi Lovato, not only for her battles, but also for her voice. So, Lila changed the station, and I asked her to change it back. (She had no reason not to, she w
as just flipping channels.) But she looked at me and said
Lila: "You like Demi Lovato. You're just like her."
Me: "Just like her?"
Lila: "Yeah, stupid."
Me: "Thanks."
Lila: "Yeah, you should go kill yourself, like she did."
Me: "Lila, she's not dead! She's not even suicidal!"
Lila: "Yeah, how would you know? Are you suicidal? Always googling depression and stuff."
Me: "No! I just know the definition of suicide versus the definition of depression!" (I know I lied, but I was not going to let that be my story of how my family found out I was suicidal. Please don't blame me.)
At that, Terra started laughing, and Eve too, so Lila stopped talking to me and rather made a comment to Terra about how I was just like Demi Lovato as if I wasn't there. My thinking is that she's just doing it for the laughs of everyone around, but then the next night, she, myself and my Dad were watching a show. During the commercial, Lila said again that I was just like Demi Lovato. So I said, "Yeah, I should just take your advice and go kill myself." and she said "That's a good idea!"
It's just all so much. Almost too much. And yes, she's a year and a half YOUNGER than I am. Yet she treats me like a dog. Even in front of my parents. I just don't know what to do. My parents make no effort to stop her because they believe that I'm plenty strong enough to take the hurt.
Their motto is "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me" which I believe is far, far from truth. My sister is a full on bully, and I don't have any way to stop it.
Please help me.
I understand what you're saying and you do make perfect sense.
I personally have never subscribed to the sticks and stones mantra. Words do hurt and sting and can cause just as much pain. Bullying should not be tolerated, please talk with your family to let them know how much these words and actions are hurting you.
If you feel you can not talk with your family, I can't stress enough how important it is for you to talk with someone. Please network with the counselors or teachers at your school and look through some of the links on our crisis page .

Henry Rollins
Went to see Henry speak tonight. Wow is all I can say. Been a fan for a long time and I was not let down. I strongly suggest if you have the opportunity to add one or more of his talks to your life experiences that you do so. Has anyone out there had the chance and did you enjoy it as much as I did?
Replies to This Posting
Re: Henry Rollins
SC-Everything LOL, his travels and people he has met, politics and the need for us to hold the government accountable, Ted Nugent dodging the draft, buying soap and soccer balls for people in Haiti, what a racist bastard his father is, how he learned the best lessons in life from punk rock and Abraham Lincoln, how Rick Perry is a peice of crap because he wants to abolish planned parenthood, and a new three part special he did for NatGeo about weird animals and food and drinking cow urine, and how we should all be strong in our brains and read read read read and make sure our children are educated, and about how he thought the influx of cheap brown mexican heroin into L.A. was a consipiracy to addict, kill and discredit GenX.
Kati-That was probably The Henry Rollins Show on IFC. it's on Netflix
Re: Henry Rollins
I haven't seen Henry speak but I did see Rollins Band at Lee's Palace in Toronto. When they finished their set he leapt off the stage, walked through the crowd to the back of the club and sat at the merch table selling shirts and books for the rest of the night. He signed my copy of "Pissing In The Gene Pool". Cool guy.
He's doing 3 nights in up there next month I think
Re: Henry Rollins
IFC, that's right. I'll have to catch that on Netflix.

Pretty amazing game Monday night in Denver to draw the Division Series round to a close. The Phillies showed why they're the defending champions by rallying for three runs in the top of the ninth -- after giving up three runs in the bottom of the eighth -- and held on for a 5-4 win over the Rockies to close the series in four games.
So we had three sweeps and one four-gamer in the first round but each series had at least one fantastic finish and the Phils-Rox had a double dose of drama once they hit frigid Denver. A big story in the opening round was the failure of closers. Jonathan Papelbon, Huston Street, Joe Nathan and Ryan Franklin all flamed out when their teams needed them most. Makes you appreciate Mariano Rivera come October even more.
We'll have plenty more later in the week on the LCS (Phils-Dodgers opens Thursday in LA and I'll be on hand for Yankees-Angels I and II Friday and Saturday in the Bronx). But for now, give a quick look back to the ALDS and NLDS with a vote in our poll below.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal Online
November 8, 2012
Bertrand J. Cardone
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
"Luck affects everything, let your hook always be cast; in the stream you least expect it, there will be a fish." Ovid
Bertrand (Bert) Cardone of Medina passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at the Orchard Manor Nursing Home. Bert was born in Medina, NY on January 28, 1917, son of the late Dominic and Mary (Scolozzi) Cardone.
A lifelong resident of Medina, Bert was a well-known, avid, sportsman and outdoorsman who combined his passion for hunting, fishing and marksmanship into launching several successful related businesses, including the Medina Trading Post, a recreational vehicle dealership, the first Ski-Doo dealership in the Western New York area along with opening Cardone Dodge. In his later years, Bert became a sought after fishing guide in Sturgeon Falls, Canada, frequented the Seneca Niagara Casino and lived his life true to his own philosophy of working for 50 years yet never having a job.
During World War II, he was a member of the New York State National Guard and later enlisted in the Navy serving in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater taking part in the Invasion of the Philippines. Over the years, he would remark that one of his crowning achievements during the war occurred on United State soil when he was home on leave and managed to persuade Arlene Miller to elope with him on August 4, 1943. He was a member of Holy Trinity Parish, past president of the Medina Conservation Club, a New York State Rifle Sharpshooter, member of Butts Clark Post 204 and the American Legion.
He is survived by Arlene, his devoted wife and business partner of 69 years; two children, Jack (Peggy) Cardone, Lockport and Gilda (Thurman) Mallard, Avon, NY; four granddaughters, Michelle (Doug) Cimino, Hatfield Pennsylvania, Amber (Ryan) Conway, Avon, NY, Jenna and Justine Cardone of Grand Island, NY. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Madison Cimino and Braden Conway; a brother, Vincent (Rose) Cardone; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brothers, Frank and Joseph Cardone; sisters, Alicia and Angeline Cardone, Kay Chiarolanza, Alice Rosato and Sara Calandra.
Relatives and friends may call on Saturday, November 10, 2012 from 12-3 PM with a service at 2 PM at the Cooper Funeral Home, 215 West Center Street, Medina, NY, with Fr. Daniel J. Fawls officiating. Military honors will be accorded at the funeral home following the funeral service by members of Lincoln Post #1483, VFW and Butts-Clark Post #204, American Legion. The family will gather at the Diana Theater on Main Street Medina following the service to receive friends and share reminisces. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations may be made in Bert's name to the American Red Cross for the disaster relief efforts resulting from Hurricane Sandy.

The Lewis family wants to know, "If the power goes out in Sedgwick County, will the tornado sirens still work?" Good question.
The answer, in Sedgwick County, is no, they won't.
Sedgwick County Emergency Management Director Randy Duncan says that the tornado siren should not be your primary warning device. He says the siren, or outdoor warning device, is designed to be an early alert for those who are away from a TV or radio.
Duncan also says that the sirens are not frequently heard in homes during spring and summer months for several reasons, including distance from the siren, running air conditioners and better insulation in newer homes.
For this reason, Emergency Management wants residents to rely on other media for primary severe weather information. The old siren is great, but if you don't hear it, it doesn't mean there isn't severe weather and possibly tornadoes nearby.

I love newspapers.
I especially love THIS newspaper, but I love them all. And much like as a child I used to perk up whenever a character on a network television show would say the word "Buffalo" - Hey! That guy just said Buffalo! We're famous! - I now perk up at any pop culture reference to newspapers.
(Watch "Seinfeld." It's amazing how often Jerry or George have a newspaper or talk about something related to them.)
This is a long way of explaining why I compiled my list of songs that reference either a particular paper or the act of reading one.
Here they are, in descending order, with the pertinent lyrics and video links.
10. Paperback Writer, The Beatles: "... his son is working for The Daily Mail."
9. Escape (The Pina Colada Song), Rupert Holmes: "... so while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed."
8. Stayin' Alive, The Bee Gees: "We can try to understand the New York Times effect on man."
7. Alley Oop, The Hollywood Argyles: "There's a man in the funny papers we all know. (Alley-oop, oop. Oop, oop.)"
6. Get a Job, The Silhouettes: "... then I get the paper, I read it through and through."
5. American Pie, Don McLean: "But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver. Bad news on the doorstep ..."
4. Want Ads, The Honey Cone: "Gonna put it in the want ads, I need somebody new."
3. Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets, Bob Seger: "Check the local newspapers, chances are you won't have to go too far."
2. New York State of Mind, Billy Joel: "But now I need a little give and take, The New York Times, The Daily News."
1. A Day in the Life, The Beatles: "I read the news today, oh boy, about a lucky man who made the grade."
Disagree with my choices? Tell me about it. I'm on Twitter @BAndriatch. But I might not respond right away; we've got a paper to put out.

A total of 158 degrees are scheduled to be conferred at the 115th Commencement Exercises of The Jewish Theological Seminary, which will be held on May 21 in New York City. The distinguished graduates are the newest group of lay and professional leaders trained to serve nationwide as rabbis, academics, cantors, scholars, Jewish educators, and community leaders.
Ms. Ruth W. Messinger, president and CEO of American Jewish World Service (AJWS), will deliver the commencement address, "Leading for Change: Jewish Global Responsibility in the Twenty-First Century," and be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. In addition to Ms. Messinger, honorary doctoral degrees will be awarded to Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella, justice of the Supreme Court of Canada; Dr. Eugene B. Borowitz, Sigmund L. Falk Distinguished Professor of Education and Jewish Religious Thought at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR); and Dean David M. Schizer of Columbia Law School.
Of the 146 graduates who are participating in this year's commencement, forty-eight will receive bachelor's degrees from the Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies; thirty-three, including six students earning doctorates, will receive degrees from The Graduate School; thirty-six will receive degrees from the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education, including one EdD; ten cantors will be invested by the H. L. Miller Cantorial School and College of Jewish Music; and thirty-one men and women will be ordained by The Rabbinical School. Twelve students will receive two degrees from different JTS schools.
Ms. Messinger is president and CEO of AJWS, an international development organization providing support to more than 400 grassroots social change projects throughout the world. She is also the American Jewish community's leading advocate on Darfur. Under Ms. Messinger's leadership, the AJWS budget has tripled, and the nonprofit has been awarded a four-star rating seven years in a row from Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator. A former political leader in New York City, she was Manhattan borough president from 1990–1998; represented the Upper West Side on the New York City Council from 1978–1989; and was the 1997 Democratic Party mayoral nominee. Ms. Messinger has received numerous awards and honors, including the Albert D. Chernin Award from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, an honorary DHL from HUC-JIR, and the Union for Reform Judaism's Maurice N. Eisendrath Bearer of Light Award. She was cited seven consecutive years by the Forward as "one of the fifty most influential members of the American Jewish community."
Ms. Messinger is the daughter of another female trailblazer, her mother, Marjorie Wyler. Ms. Wyler (z"l) served JTS for more than fifty years, beginning in 1938 as part of then Chancellor Louis Finkelstein's administrative team and later as director of the Office of Public Information and head of the radio and television department. In an era when women rarely held positions of authority, she was instrumental in the formulation and dissemination of JTS's internal and external communications, and was a strong advocate of the creation of The Eternal Light, JTS's award-winning radio and television series.
Justice Abella is the first Jewish woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada. She is a member of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and was sole commissioner and author of the 1984 Federal Royal Commission on Equality in Employment in which she coined the term and concept of "employment equity." Her report has been implemented by the governments of Canada, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, and South Africa. She has taught at McGill University and the University of Toronto, and has authored four books and more than eighty articles. Justice Abella has been awarded twenty-four honorary degrees and numerous prizes, including the Tarnopolsky Award for human rights. Justice Abella was born in a displaced persons camp in Germany in 1946 and came to Canada in 1950 as a refugee.
Dr. Borowitz is the founder and former editor of Sh'ma, the magazine of Jewish social concern. The author of hundreds of articles on Jewish religious thought, he is the only Jew to serve as president of the American Theological Society. Dr. Borowitz has received many awards, including the medal for lifetime Jewish cultural achievement by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture, the National Jewish Book Award for his work The Mask Jews Wear, and the Eisendrath Prize from the Union for Reform Judaism. He was recently appointed "Distinguished University Professor" at HUC-JIR, where he has taught since 1962.
In 2004, at the age of thirty-five, David M. Schizer was named dean of Columbia Law School, the youngest dean in the school's history; he is also Columbia Law School's Lucy G. Moses Professor of Law. Dean Schizer earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Yale College and Yale Law School. Following graduation, he was a law clerk to Judge Alex Kozinski of the US Court of Appeals and later to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the United States Supreme Court. Dean Schizer is a member of the Tax Club, the Tax Forum, and the New York State Bar Association Tax Section Executive Committee. He also serves on the board of trustees of Natan, a nonprofit foundation that supports Jewish philanthropy, and the board of directors of Columbia-Barnard Hillel. Dean Schizer has written more than twenty-five books and articles, and was awarded the Willis Reese Prize for excellence in teaching.
