Mike Santos, the Panthers' assistant general manager, said Tuesday morning that he hadn't spoken to Dmitry Kulikov's agent "in the past 48 hours.''
Kulikov, an unsigned restricted free agent, remained on the roster for Yaroslavl Lokamotiv of the KHL although he wasn't in the lineup for Tuesday night's game.
Santos said as a free agent, Kulikov was free to play in the KHL although the Panthers own his NHL rights. There has been talk that Kulikov is on his way back from Russia although Santos said he didn't know where he was.

An article entitled "Dog Fight Erupts in Mansfield" appeared in the Sunday edition of The Sun Chronicle. This letter is not to argue a point of view on the decision to euthanize the dog in question, but to clear up misconceptions about Mansfield Animal Shelter.
Mansfield Animal Shelter is NOT a no-kill shelter. However, because of the efforts of the Humane Officer and the volunteers, its record may be very close to being no-kill, and I have never known an animal to be euthanized because it has been at the shelter too long. (It's worth mentioning that there is no breed specific discrimination at the shelter. Many pit bulls have come through the shelter and have been adopted into loving homes where they have proved to be wonderful pets.) Nevertheless, Mansfield Animal Shelter is a town-run shelter under the jurisdiction of the Animal Humane Officer, who answers to the Police Chief in his role as Animal Control Officer. It is they who make decisions on euthanizing dogs, not the volunteers. The town's by-laws give them that authority, and they are not required to consult with Mansfield Shelter Friends. The Animal Humane Officer is the only town employee at the shelter. All other care is provided by volunteers.
Mansfield Shelter Friends (M.S.F.) is a non-profit organization, run by volunteers, and separate from, but supporting, Mansfield Animal Shelter. M.S.F. is funded by generous donations, and by adoption fees. M.S.F. bears the sole responsibility of paying for veterinary care for shelter animals; the town does not cover those expenses. Through generous donations MSF has been able to provide outstanding and extensive veterinary care, often saving animals' live by paying for surgeries and care far above basic vaccinations. M.S.F. has given financial assistance to pet owners who couldn't afford vet care, and who would otherwise have to euthanize or surrender their pets. M.S.F. has also paid for trainers to work with dogs who otherwise might have been unadoptable. (MSF paid for a trainer for Rocco.)
Although it is extremely distressing and unfortunate when animals must be euthanized, it remains rare at Mansfield Animal Shelter when one considers the number of animals that pass through the shelter. During my almost ten years as a volunteer, animals have never been put down as a result of overcrowding or because they have been at the shelter too long, although I believe this is common practice at many public shelters.
As a volunteer, I am proud of Mansfield Animal Shelter and the way it has served the animals that pass through the shelter. I hope people will continue to see the overwhelming good that the shelter does for animals, and continue to support it in those efforts.
Mary Andrews
Volunteer, Mansfield Animal Shelter

I have lived in Newtown with my husband and my four children for the last 12 years. My primary responsibility is raising our four children. In 2006, Gary Davis (current Legislative Council member) and I co-founded WECAN (We Care About Newtown), a public advocacy coalition, to engage the public on the critical issues facing Newtown by providing important information to its members. In 2007, Gary and I believed it was critical to stimulate the competition between the existing political parties to provide the best choices of candidates for the voters of Newtown by creating the Independent Party of Newtown. I was elected to the Legislative Council and I served for two years. I ran unsuccessfully for the Legislative Council position in 2009 (lost by 21 votes) and now I have teamed up with a dynamic IPN First Selectman candidate, Bill Furrier for the Board of Selectman position.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Using the hexagon is easy when you have several different paper patterns and you want to keep it consistent throughout the design. A hexagon will add that consistency, with a little flair. Using the Fiskars Hexagon Squeeze Punches, you can make this an easy trend to incorporate into all your crafting projects.
Here is how to make an easy embellishment. If you want to step up your use of any shape design, including the hexagon, punch several hexagon shapes from the same patterned paper. Fold each punched shape in half. Glue each end of the folded hexagon shapes to each other. This creates a 'honeycomb' style embellishment that you could add to any project!

Patrick Kaleta didn't even see Jamie McBain get dropped with a clean, hard check Sunday night. He just knew McBain was a new teammate and he wanted the Sabres defenseman to know that Buffalo players stick up for each other.
"He's a new guy, and he's got to be welcomed on the team," Kaleta said today in First Niagara Center. "He's got to know that we have his back."
Kaleta and Cody McCormick went after Canadiens who leveled big hits during the Sabres' 5-4 victory in the preseason opener. Kaleta says he might not have challenged normally mild-mannered Alex Galchenyuk during the regular season, but exhibition games are a time to send messages.
"We want to establish that we are a team and no one is going to take liberties on old guys, young guys," Kaleta said. "You're going to have to deal with all five guys on the ice. We want to establish that early. We want to be a team that's tough to play against, and you're going to have to go through five of us, not just one."
The Sabres play their second of seven exhibitions Tuesday in Columbus. To hear coach Ron Rolston talk about the first game, the play of first-round picks Rasmus Ristolainen and Nikita Zadorov, and look forward to the Blue Jackets, click the audio file below.

Home - Choosing Survival – Spring 2011
The whirlwind of change in the Wabanaki homeland of the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot and Maliseet tribes began after the Revolutionary War. In 1783, British loyalists and American immigrants began staking claims to eastern lands in the region of Massachusetts known as the District of Maine, petitioning the Commonwealth for property and water rights.
Through a series of treaties with Massachusetts, the tribes had retained reservations and usufruct rights that recognized traditional use of the land and water. Native leaders had relied on traditional face-to-face communications at treaty negotiations and conferences between Native delegates and Euro-American officials.
But by the 19th century, when formal meetings became less common, the Penobscots, Passamaquoddies and Maliseets in present-day eastern Maine, western New Brunswick and the southern shore of Quebec had to navigate a new and ever-changing geopolitical landscape. With their very survival on the line, the tribes learned to use petitions as a political tool that not only kept the door of diplomatic negotiations open, but also served as a way to assert concerns and articulate aboriginal rights to governments.
The result was a remarkable paper trail that provides a unique perspective on the Maine tribes' struggle to withstand an invasion that resulted in a reconfiguration of aboriginal homeland — the process of Euro-Americans applying their own rearrangement of space to tribal lands and waters, including bridges, roads, property boundaries, and fences or stone walls.
Today, the ethnohistory revealed in a University of Maine research project on 19th-century Wabanaki petitions has contemporary cultural and political significance. It provides context for the formation of reservation lands, suggesting that these places held significant cultural importance among the communities.
Native petitions speak not only to the challenges to their lands and lifestyle, but to the tribes' ability in wielding petitions as a political medium. The petitions are filled with their voices and values, including the place-names of the important sites and valuable hunting and fishing grounds they fought to preserve.
The research also provides important documentation for the Passamaquoddy tribe's long, ongoing efforts to gain federal recognition in Canada — an acknowledgment that the international border between eastern Maine and western New Brunswick cut through the heart of Passamaquoddy homeland.
"In the 17th and 18th centuries, Colonial wars were fought with swords and muskets. By the 19th century, the weapons were ink and paper, involving settlers petitioning for Indian lands and rights, and Indians responding to assert their rights," says ethnohistorian Micah Pawling, whose research recently culminated in a Ph.D. in history at UMaine.

Stillwater NewsPress
STILLWATER, Okla. —
A year ago the Stillwater High School wrestling team went to Muskogee as the underdogs and came out with win — beating the Roughers on Muskogee's Senior Night.
Now the Roughers are looking for a little payback as the two squads clash in the final dual of the season at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Pioneer Fieldhouse.
"Last year they probably were a better dual team than us all year long, but then we went into their house on their Senior Night and beat them," coach Doug Chesbro said. "We were wrestling really well at the time, but they were also probably taking us for granted and they weren't really thinking about anything except it being the last match of the year.
"Now they're turning around and coming here. It's going to be our Senior Night and our kids are going to be thinking about other things. Who knows? Weird things happen."
A lack of focus may have helped the Pioneers claim the latest victory in this rivalry. But with a revenge-hungry Muskogee team coming in, Chesbro said focus has been a big part of practice this week.
"Kids have better memories than what people think," Chesbro said. "I'm sure their coaches remember real well that we kind of put a damper on their season. It gave us an 11-win season last year, which was one more than the year before. Not only did we match what we had done previously, but we bested it."
Much like homecoming a week earlier, so many things outside the mat factor in how well a team performs. The emotions that go with Senior Night play a huge role, but Chesbro said it's up to him and his staff to channel those emotions in the right direction.
"I tend to try to push a little bit of that aside," Chesbro said. "The rah-rah factor and getting everybody pumped up, that works to a certain extent. But we've wrestled these people so many times throughout the year, our guys know exactly who the other guy across the mat is. They have either wrestled them or seen them wrestle, they've either placed in front of them at a tournament or their guy has placed in front of them at a tournament. There's no secrets left behind."
The familiarity between the two teams may limit the surprises, but that doesn't mean the match will be without its fair share of excitement.
With guys like Cody Knight, Garrett Guthrie, Cory Revier and Beau Bigheart wrestling for the final time in the Pioneer Fieldhouse, Chesbro is hoping not just one but all of those seniors go out with a win.
"It would mean a lot not only to me, but also to them," Chesbro said. "When you spend that much time together, you become a close-knit group. They're my boys and I want what's best for them. The things they do might not show up in wins and losses, but I've watched them grow up and go from 14-, 15- or 16-year-old kids to 18-year-old men. It would be cool from a coaching standpoint if we can give them each one last moment of glory here at home."

The Daily Star
---- — Otsego and Delaware county residents are obviously concerned about natural gas issues. Whether it be the decision to allow hydraulic fracturing or the private construction of a natural gas pipeline through our area, our voices demand to be heard, no matter what our opinions may be.
Residents crowd town board meetings, forums and public comment hearings to discuss their views, making sure we will be remembered when decision time comes around in Albany or Washington, D.C.
Regulators — may they be the state Department of Environmental Conservation or the Federal Emergency Regulatory Commission — should seek public comments from those who will be affected by their decisions. We are taxpayers, and we want some input into what we could face in the future.
That's why it's hard to understand why FERC decided not to offer environmental scoping hearings on the proposed Constitution Pipeline in Otsego and Delaware counties as part of its information-gathering visit to the area.
The recent route proposed by Cabot Oil & Gas and Williams Partners would put significant stretches of the natural gas transmission system near Interstate 88, affecting many residents and property owners in Otsego and Delaware counties.
But rather than offer logical sites for the hearings — higher-population centers such as Oneonta, Cooperstown, Sidney or Delhi — FERC went with Afton, Schoharie and New Milford, Pa. These communities likely will be affected by the pipeline, but why not offer hearings in locations where more people can easily attend?
An area resident said she was told by FERC that the agency was unable to find any space in Oneonta capable of accommodating 33 to 400 people. This concept is preposterous. In a city with two colleges' worth of lecture halls and auditoriums, not to mention the Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center, local churches and clubs, it's inconceivable that FERC could not find suitable accommodations.
In response, FERC spokeswoman Tamara Young-Allen said the agency is not required to offer the meetings, and that the events are "a public service." She said the commission "wants to get as many comments as possible."
The hearings are not serving the public well when FERC officials seemed to select hearing locations based on points on a map, rather than looking at where the population centers are.
FERC has until Oct. 9 to make this right by offering a hearing in Delaware and/or Otsego.
In the meantime, residents can email FERC about the pipeline at www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp using docket number PF12-9-000.

To refine your results, use the filters in the right column.
Nations with nuclear arsenals find it easy enough to resist the disarmament pressure of countries that lack nuclear weapons. But what if a treaty emerged that turned nuclear-armed states into outlaws?
Women have as much reason as men to fear nuclear war. Maybe more. But women have relatively little control over whether nuclear weapons are ever used—or whether they continue to exist. How can women break into the largely male preserve of weapons policy?
In rich countries, the threat of manmade pathogens can keep security professionals up at night. In the developing world, health care professionals must focus mostly on the here and now.
Building nuclear power plants is one thing. Operating a nuclear power sector is another. How can developing countries ensure that they have established adequate systems for managing nuclear power?
Chemical weapons are disappearing from Syria and some say it's time to ban them from the entire region. Others say banning nuclear weapons must remain paramount. Could simply discussing these issues make the region more secure?
Economic development requires energy. But as developing nations chart their energy courses, they increasingly must consider the environmental expectations of their populations—a task made harder because poor and middle-class people often view environmental issues quite differently.
Most poor nations bear little responsibility for climate change but many of them stand to suffer greatly from it. Some rich nations balk at reducing carbon emissions unless others do likewise. How should responsibility for addressing climate change be apportioned?

Your portable pal
Don't leave home with the SDP75SWN from Toshiba. This convenient device will be your new "Entertainment Central" while you're on the go. Of course, the 7" screen is great for watching DVDs, but unlike many players, this one can also do a whole lot more. An SD/SDHC slot lets you use the larger screen to show off the pictures you take on your trip, or to play videos or even MP3s from SD cards (not included). Meanwhile, a switchable AV input/output can be used to hook up external components like camcorders or game systems so you can use the screen and speakers of the SDP75S. To ensure there's no fighting, this DVD player includes two headphone jacks. Once you get to the hotel room, you can switch the input/output to "output" to allow you to play DVDs on the hotel TV using your portable player. And the AV cable's included!

Trip to Target
by, 07-14-2012 at 03:29 PM (648 Views)
Friday the 13th was living up to it's unlucky superstition yesterday. Upon arrival to the Twin Cities, and following a 2 1/2 hour drive, I was greeted by pouring rain and hail. It wasn't long before the poor weather conditions were making a good reflection of my temperament by effect. It had been weeks since I had seen rain and of all days...now?! Fortunately enough, the storm clouds passed and the end result was nothing more than a 15 minute delay.
My seat was in the bleachers just to right of the foul pole in right field. The overall view of the game was great, but there were occasionally fly balls that escaped view when hit towards right center. I think many can attest that there really aren't any bad seats in Twins Territory. Prior to game time, I made a trek around Target Field and it looked as good as ever. I made sure to go to the batter's eye where Jim Thome legendarily hit a HR over. The only thing I couldn't find was an Oakland fan. As much as I tried to spot just one Athletics fan, I could not!
Liriano was a real treat to watch. Francisco was on a strikeout tirade and eventually ended up netting 15 total. With every swing and miss, cheers mounted in fruitful hopes of another K being hung. However Liriano briefly got off pace when he gave up a grand slam to Jonny Gomes in the fourth. My stomach didn't settle very well after that and the crowd grew silent as well for an inning. The game must go on though. The thing I have always admired most about Liriano is his poise. He always appears confident in the way he walks and he really had it last night despite the 4 run homer. Frankie shrugged it off and moved on in his conquest for more hacks. Even catcher Drew Butera seemed to be fooled by Liriano. I recall him dropping roughly half of the 3rd strike swings. Offensively, the Twins got on base, but didn't get runs. Willingham provided all the offense with a solo HR and another HR that brought in Mauer as well.
As much as I would have liked a win, the game was really entertaining and I can't wait to go back to Target Field again. I'd really like to know if this is the first game where a pitcher struck out 15 or more and yielded a grand slam? That's not something you see everyday!

For the 11th time in the past 16 seasons, Duke has earned a No. 1 ranking in the polls.
The Blue Devils (9-0) received 62 of 65 first-place votes in The Associated Press poll and 30 of 31 top votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Its the first time Duke has been ranked No. 1 since the 2010-11 season.
We are excited about being ranked No. 1, senior Mason Plumlee said in a statement released by the school. Part of the reason you come to Duke is to play for a top-ranked team, but we are really just focused on improving as a team each day.
The Blue Devils have played more games ranked No. 1 (209) than as an unranked squad (141) under coach Mike Krzyzewski. Duke has been ranked No. 1 123 weeks, second-most in NCAA history behind UCLA (134), with Krzyzewski serving as the coach for 105 of those weeks.
This year, Duke has played the toughest schedule in the nation, defeating three teams (Kentucky, Louisville and Ohio State) that were in the top 5 at the time of the matchup. Three of the Blue Devils wins have come against teams currently ranked in the top 13 (Louisville, Ohio State and Minnesota).Two other former opponents (Kentucky and VCU) also received votes.
Krzyzewski, who has been at Duke since the 1980-81 season, has had just one recruiting class that has not played as the No. 1 team. The 1984-85 senior class of Todd Anderson, Jay Bryan and Danny Meagher played as the No. 2 team for nine weeks in 1984-85 but never reached No. 1. Every group since has been on top.
This senior class of Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly and Todd Zaviroski has played as the No. 1 team for 20 weeks, including this week. The group also won the 2010 national championship.
We are a mature group and we want to be ranked No. 1 at the end of the season, Plumlee said. We feel like we are playing as well as anyone in the country and we want that to continue.

Donate to Charity and Save on a Fancy Dinnerby Mr Credit Card
About a month ago, Mrs Credit Card attended a Silent Auction for a public charity – National Organisation for Hearing Research (NOHR) Foundation. It was Tea at The Rittenhouse Hotel and the organisers did a fantastic job securing many donations for the event. There were gift certificates to dinners at Morimoto's or Buddakhan's with tickets to The View, gift certificates to dinners at Delmonicos Steakhouse and etc etc.
The presentation of some of the auction items were phenomenal. The presenter of the event was Stephanie Stahl – medical reporter of CBS 3 Philadelphia. It was a successful event and they raised close to $200,000.
Mrs Credit Card bidded $40.00 (minimum bid) for a gift certificate valued at $100 at Delmonicos Steakhouse at the Hilton Hotel including a recipe book named SPICE. It was the only bid and she got it.
So we made use of the gift certificate yesterday as it was Mrs Credit Card's birthday. And we did save quite a bit. For appetizer, I had the crab cakes while Mrs Credit Card had a mushroom risotto with Sea Scallops. Yum Yum. For the main course, Mrs Credit Card had the Ribeye steak, medium rare. I had the rare Blackened Ahi Tuna Steak. We also ordered a side of Asparagus not knowing that a salad came with the entree.
The portions were so huge we had to doggy bag! When it was time for desert, we were both stuffed. But we got a few pieces of desert for the kids. So how much did we spend and how much did we save? Here is the cost breakdown.
1. Crab Cake Appetizer – $13.00
2. Sea Scallop/Rissotto – $13.00
3. Voss Water – $6.00
4. Chevalier Champagne by the glass – $7.50
5. Delmonico Steak – $31.00
6. Rare Ahi Tuna – $24.00
7. Grilled Asparagus – $6.00
8. Lava Cake – $6.50
9. Desert (4 slices of cake for kids) – $26.00
10 Tea (for two) – $5.00
Subtotal – $138.00
Tax – $9.89
Total – $147.89
Because we had a $100 voucher, the bill came up to $47.89. We gave a $25 tip. Hence the total cost for the night worked out as follows :
Cost to get the $100 voucher – $40.00 (charity donation)
Cost of dinner – $72.89
Valet Parking – $3.00
Baby Sitter – $12 (our neighbour!)
Total Cost – $127.89. We would have paid $187.89 instead without the gift certificate. We saved a total of $60.00. In fact, we could have saved another $30 if we had shared the main course. The portion was so huge that we had to doggy bag (guess what's for dinner tonight ?)
To be honest, we seldom go to steakhouses or any fancy restaurants. But it was Mrs Credit Card's birthday, so a nice dinner was an absolute must! But it'll felt good that w actually donated some money to a worthy cause and yet at the same time manage to save on our extravagant dinner.

Not just a city issue
On the issue of fences, the complaint from the LaBelles seems a little unwarranted to me. Safety is no issue here; in fact, it adds a safety factor to the homeowner from collateral effects of an accident. That is a very busy corridor and yes, we do need to address this. Where are the findings from the traffic study four years ago? I really don't mind if the tourists find that stretch of road not fetching to the eye because they want to see the water anyway. If stone wall owner Kathie Scott wants the wall, good, I think it looks fine. Look at the bigger issue of traffic on Division, or get a hobby.
Even though this is a city issue, we all drive by the fences. Get involved.

Put children first
Regarding a letter about assault weapons printed Jan. 5, I also wish for politics to be put aside and for putting children first. But stating that "hysteria about assault rifles is a media concocted ploy to inflame the uninformed" is absolutely wrong.
The massacre of humans is what inflames people. The availability of guns that can make such massacres possible is what inflames people. So with the guns that can efficiently pump out large numbers of bullets, however you define such guns, we live with occasional massacres.
Of course, many things in society contribute to a person committing such an evil act. But it is only specific types of guns that make the actual act possible. The National Rifle Association has consistently and effectively fought to have these guns available and to ease the process of acquiring (and carrying) guns. Expired laws have defined gun types that give people this level of killing power and efficiency, which is where the term "assault weapon" comes from. Legislation to ban such weapons, however defined, should be the priority of anyone who cares to put children (people) first.

Time for housecleaning
The behavior of those representing the citizens of these United States in Washington during the "fiscal cliff" fiasco, followed by the pork-laden bill to assist those adversely effected by Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast, coupled with their approval rating of 18 percent, begs the question of why anyone would vote for an incumbent U.S. Senator or Representative.
I once moved to a city ringed by levees to protect the city from flooding. The locals said the Levee Commission was a do-nothing commission that quickly forgot the problems associated with the last flood and did nothing to solve the problems. Sound familiar? Seeking guidance from them, their suggestion was not to vote for an incumbent.
It is time for a major housecleaning and the removal of all incumbents from office in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives regardless of whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents. The "Tea Party" should disassociate itself from the Republican Party and reinvent itself as they have the organization to accomplish this task. The "Libertarian Party" should refrain from putting up candidates who have no chance of being elected and concentrate their efforts on supporting non-incumbent candidates for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

Rings and Things!
BY Kristina Hull
Everyone who participates in a sport on this level is chasing five special rings. The colors blue, black, red, yellow, and green elicit a certain emotion. Those rings joined together create the most beautiful, special, elite, and unifying symbols, the Olympic Rings. I thought those were some of the most important rings I could ever have the privilege of pursuing until two months ago. I now have a new ring in my life, no it is not blue, black, red, yellow , or green, but it is a beautiful, special, and unifying symbol. If you have not figured it out yet. I AM ENGAGED...BOOM. That JUST HAPPENED!
I have the special privilege to spend the rest of my life with an amazing man named Paul Jackson. This relationship could not be anymore "healthy." And I mean this figuratively and literally. We actually met almost five years ago. We were both strength and conditioning coaches at LSU. And after four years of dating and four different coaching relocations we are now "settled " in Oxford Mississippi where Paul is the Head Football Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Ole Miss Rebels. HOTTY TODDY! If you ask Paul, he may say we have only stayed together because I get access to incredible training facilities for my skeleton training because of him. But the truth is, it is pretty awesome when you get to train next to your significant other and coach each other up. Though the jury is still out on who the "better" lifter is, we both learn from each other and build each other up. Though I did beat him in a pull-up contest recently, which is proven by video evidence that I am more than happy to share!
Something that Paul has been in my life is SUPPORTIVE, which brings me to my next topic. As athletes trying to pursue dreams, we all need SUPPORT. Whether it be emotionally, financially, or spiritually. What I have come to realize is although I am SERIOUSLY all over the place, I AM BEYOND BLESSED to have amazing people in my life. God blessed me with the MOST supportive fiancé and family. My parents are the ones that came to every sporting event when I was young, drove me all around, and continued to push me to dream. I have an amazing mom who would do anything for her kids, and my dad always knows the right things to say at the right time. He himself pursued a dream to be an Olympic Athlete in the sport of wrestling and came 1 win shy of his dream. He knows much better than I do the highs and lows of pursuing a sport at this level. My extended family has also been nothing short of amazing. My aunts, uncles, cousins, and future in-laws have motivated me to go as hard as I can no matter what the outcome! I could not do anything without the support I have in my life. I can bet most athletes would say the same. I am blessed to be able to say I am training as hard as I can only through the strength of my family, my friends, and God. So thank you to everyone who has made this dream hopefully ONE DAY become a reality.

Tackling Citi Bike Related Problems
Last Thursday, students Amy Wu and Luke Stern presented at Citi Bike NYC Data Showcase, the second examination of all the data produced by Citi Bike rides. Amy and Luke sought to enhance the tourist experience with ideas requiring little budget or resource.
Next City writes:
Citi Bikes' software and hardware interfaces can be rage-inducing. They've been working with students studying interface design at the School of Visual Arts (SVA). The goal is in large part to reduce the sort of friction that can occur when you attempt to put your credit card in and generate a printed code to unlock a bike, all under the watchful gaze of those in line behind you. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. And it's impossible to know which experience you'll have until you try…
The research team is working towards:
"We're trying to hack the user experience of Citi Bike," said Luke Stern, who presented alongside his fellow SVA student Amy Wu. Their research team has mocked up a system that would allow casual users to pre-pay away from the maddening crowds, either online or by mobile phone, by accessing a wider variety of passes than currently exist — a $2 single-ride pass, or a $15 Weekend Pass, good for three days.

The Parable of Yellowstone: Frank Chimero closes OPEN IXD
Photo credit, Amy Wu
Designer, illustrator, writer, and teacher Frank Chimero was Closing Keynote speaker at this year's Thesis Festival, OPEN IXD. He began with a story of Yellowstone Park's 1,200 troublesome bears:
Since design is frequently framed as problem-solving, and this is an interaction design program—and there is clearly some kind of interaction happening between a man, a bear, a car, and a sandwich—I want to ask everyone: how would you respond to the bear problem?
There are two options, he went on to say:
The first path is the method chosen by the early rangers at Yellowstone in the 19th century. They had to contend with a similar problem as our bears when wolves were eating the neighboring ranchers' livestock. (Again, a conflict over who gets to eat what. Animals are not particularly good at observing human rules.) The rangers opted to eliminate what caused the problem and hunted the wolves to the point of near extinction. Problem solved, I guess, but not in the most elegant fashion.
And the second way:
[Is] a more gentle and time-consuming approach. In the '70s, the park introduced what they called a "bear management" program. As much as I want this to be about bears in white-collared jobs holding coffee mugs, it is not. The funny thing about the bear management program is that it's really a people management program. The best way to prevent bear and human brush-ups is to have people behave responsibly: place edibles in bear-proof receptacles, slow down and watch out for bears on the road, and so on. It's easier to direct and instruct a person than a bear.
Why this story?
I'm sharing this weird parable about Yellowstone, because it describes both sides of how to approach problems. Some designers want to shoot the wolves, others want to manage the bears. One is trying to make an antidote, the other invests in a process to keep things open and adaptable. … We often mischaracterize design as a practice of problem-solving, as if the problems go away. But closure, at least in my experience, is so rare in design.
[T]he next time you're sitting down to work on a design project, ask yourself: what am I being asked to do? Do I need to shoot wolves or manage bears?
Rather than shooting the source of the problem, we are aiming to be the shepherd. Thank you, Frank.
If you missed, it, don't miss the transript in its entirety!

Alex Wright Publishes Cataloging the World
Faculty Alex Wright recently published his second book, Cataloging the World: Paul Otlet and the Birth of the Information Age, due out in June from Oxford University Press.
Paul Otlet was a Belgian bibliographer and entrepreneur who, in 1934, described something very much like the World Wide Web. Otlet was more than just a technological visionary, however. He saw his global network—the Mundaneum—as part of a utopian plan to accelerate social progress, unify the world's governments, and ultimately foster a great spiritual awakening.
Publishers Weekly review reads:
"In this enlightening profile, Wright revives and contextualizes the now largely forgotten work of "visionary information theorist" Paul Otlet… Wright is certain that 'Otlet's vision for an international knowledge network… points toward a more purposeful vision of what the global network could yet become,' and his biography could help set that in motion."

Meet the 2014 Summer Instructors: Hilla Katki
A few quick questions with Hilla Katki, upcoming summer instructor for Visualizing Information.
Hilla Katki knows how to tell stories through complex data. At Bloomberg, she served as design director for a specialized visual data team, crafting a series of exciting web and mobile features like the "Billionaires Index", and many others. Today she's helping The New York Times shape political and policy stories through their recently launched product, The Upshot. Hilla returns this summer to teach a four week course titled "Visualizing Information" as part of the Summer Intensive in Interaction Design. We caught up with her to see what students can expect this summer.
Tell us something about your summer course we might not expect based on its course description.
The class may be called "Visualizing Information," but it's really about story-telling: Is the data telling you something you didn't already know before? Can it provide a new perspective?
What will students be making or working on in your class this year?
Students will use data sets of their own choosing to tell a story through data visualization.
Got a good book or article recommendation for people interested in the course?
- "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information", Edward Tufte
- "Semiology of Graphics", Jacques Bertin
- "Visualize This", Nathan Yau
What are you excited for in NYC this summer (aside from the summer intensive)?
I'm excited to take my daughter to swimming lessons for the first time!
What are you working on these days?
At the New York Times, we just launched The Upshot, a site that utilizes news, analysis and data visualization to explain politics and policy. On a personal note, I'm working with my brother who is a biostatistician at the National Cancer Institute on an app to explain cervical cancer test results to doctors and patients.
Visualizing Information is one of five summer intensive courses in interaction design offered to the public by the MFA Interaction Design program at SVA. To learn more about the program, visit the Summer Intensive in Interaction Design
Entrepreneurial Design: The Production
Sam and I drove to Vermont last Friday to visit the factory for the standing desk production. I happy to say the prototype looks great! It was a short trip but great. We stayed at Sam's parents place which is a beautiful house in the mountain with amazing view.
(This is the production company for our product)
Shan is the person who is ruining out production, he is a very professional person to talk to when it comes to production or prototyping.
The models look great and fits together perfectly.
Sam and Mikey visited a potential manufacturer for Upstanding Desk in Vermont. Amazing to see this project go from a slide in a Keynote presentation to wildly successful Kickstarter project and finally actual production.
Congrats both!

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was introduced Thursday as the next president of Purdue University, quashing speculation that he would be tapped as a vice presidential candidate or a Cabinet appointee should Mitt Romney win the White House in November.
Purdue officials announced the former White House budget director and Eli Lilly executive Thursday would be the university's 12th president following a unanimous vote by the school's Board of Trustees, eight of whom were appointed by Daniels. One trustee was out of the country and did not vote.
The governor will replace France Cordova, who is stepping down in July after five years at Purdue's helm.
Daniels, 63, is expected to bring a business-minded approach and an image as an efficient manager to the job he takes over in January, after his second term as governor ends. But he'll also find himself on the flip side of a challenging education environment that has seen state money for public institutions decline dramatically in recent years.
As governor, Daniels ordered $150 million carved out of state higher education funding in December 2009 as the state's revenues declined. Purdue's state funding has fallen from a peak of $262 million in 2008-09 to $233.9 million for the just-completed school year.
The university also came under fire from state lawmakers over its tuition increases at the height of the recession. Purdue's in-state tuition rates have risen by as much as 62 percent since 2004, according to figures provided by the university.
Daniels has rejected university leaders' contention that state aid cuts have forced them to raise tuition.
"That's not true," Daniels said Wednesday. "The more money that's been poured in, the faster tuitions have gone up. It would be a very flawed analysis that suggested it worked the other way around."
Daniels has aggressively tackled education issues during his tenure, helping to establish Western Governors University, an online option for nontraditional students, and pushing the Legislature to reduce the number of credit hours it takes to achieve some degrees. He also led changes in K-12 education, including the nation's broadest use of school vouchers.
His reputation for pushing through aggressive change could get a mixed reception on the 40,000-student West Lafayette campus. During his tenure as governor, he has rankled union activists upset by Indiana's new right-to-work law and drew fire over state efforts to privatize the state's welfare system and cut public funding to Planned Parenthood because it performs abortions.
But analysts say he will bring to Purdue leadership skills and a national reputation from his days as a former White House budget director that will help him tackle the challenges ahead. He also will give Purdue coveted fundraising clout as the university aims to double its $200 million in annual gifts over the next decade.
Daniels has easily outpaced his Democratic opponents in his two campaigns for governor by tapping into a national network of donors who supported George W. Bush's presidential races.
"One of the top three jobs for a university president, no matter what the circumstances, is fundraising," said Dennis Barden, senior vice president with the executive search firm Witt/Kieffer.
"Your average politician is pretty fickle when it comes to connecting with people, engaging with them, building relationships with them, and stating a case for support. These are all the things that lead to excellent fundraising," Barden said.
Though Purdue's past presidents have largely been scholars or scientists — Cordova is an astrophysicist — Daniels isn't the first politician to take over a university. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates served as president of Texas A&M University and is now chancellor of the College of William and Mary in Virginia. Former governors David Boren of Oklahoma and Richard Celeste of Ohio also have led universities.

November, 2013 (spring in Australia.
So, here we are, end of the 2013 US river season, and nearing the end of the Aussie one as well, though lots of other great rivers to run in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere!
Just finished some really fun guide's schools and swiftwater rescue courses. Now to the editing and writing. Met a reporter bloke (Aussie for "guy") at the local put-in, working on a river guiding story for the ABC radio (like NPR in the US). Did an interview which was a blast. You can hear it by clicking the mp3 play button below this text box.
In the meantime, I'm working on the latest iteration of the 83 high water video, with some cool new footage. But, its missing some things I'd like to see.
If you have any photos or video footage, please send it along. I'd love to use it (and credit you as well!) You get a free copy of the whole video if your stuff is accepted. What I'm really looking for at present includes:
* A photo of the Granite (Deer Creek) narrows, high and low water.
* A photo taken from Helicopter Eddy or the left bank there, ideally looking upstream
* A photo of the old stone water gauging station on river left at Lees Ferry, taken from Lees.
* A photo of the Ross Wheeler, ideally taken from just about the entry of Bass rapids
* Photos of the mouth of Havasu, the old "upper" National Canyon camp, and Diamond Creek take out from the middle of the river.
I'll also send you a free copy of the updated 83 high water video if I publish your content on the website.
Happy river running to all!

Rowing Dories in the Grand Canyon? Best damn river trip on earth.
I escaped my Chicago Jewish ghetto rebellious and lost, hot to leave everything "civilized" far behind. I spent my next years living in tipis, hippie buses, & yurts, while doing crazy shit like mountaineering, rock climbing, & hitchhiking across the US (loved every minute of my frantic search!).
Rivers saved me, specifically the The Mighty Colorado in the Grand Canyon. More to the point, I found a tribe I could feel connected to:
1River guides. noun
A band of brothers & sisters. An eclectic bunch of talented misfits, often anti-authoritarian, and untamable as the rivers they run.
Mostly our clients only see our professional sides, where we put the poised mask on in the face of the storm. Thus, the heroic moniker "River Gods".
We know better. In the stories I write about the people I've met, things I've seen, and mis-adventures I've had a hand in, I try to show who we really are, our fears, frailties, and failures...
as well as our shining moments. Have a highland single malt and enjoy some of the stories here, free! (or buy one of my Kindle adventures for a buck and a half!)

L&E Oyster Bar, everybody's favorite little seafood shack in Silver Lake, is getting a little less little. Tonight L&E is opening its second story – an extension that will roughly double the seating capacity to nearly 100.
The upstairs version of L&E will focus almost entirely on appetizers and cold dishes – oysters and some of the new fish "charcuterie" being cooked up by chef Spencer Bezaire. Think dishes such as beet-cured salmon, like gravlax served with Meyer lemon crème fraiche; house-cured tuna belly, called mojama, with harissa; albacore rillettes, served in their own little sardine cans; and assorted seafood terrines and sausages.

The plant's 18-member wildlife team manages 1,950 acres (789 hectares) of habitat for a variety of species. The site includes the abandoned Magazine Mine, the hibernation home of Illinois' largest and now most rapidly growing population of endangered Indiana myotis (Myotis sodalis), as well as other bat species.
Unimin, Bat Conservation International, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Southern Illinois University, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service erected a bat-friendly gate at one of two entrances to the mine in 1996. The main entrance, however, was so unstable that it had to be stabilized with engineered steel arches and treated timber posts. The project was completed in August 2001.

I DONATED BLOOD TODAY, as part of the Blue/Orange blood drive competition with Kentucky. Tennessee had a lead of well over 100 pints, meaning that we've got a decent chance at winning something this weekend, anyway. . . .
Turnout was very good, and once again I was interested to see that the sex ratio -- once skewed heavily toward women -- seemed to have evened out. The blood folks said that was their impression, too. Best button: "Phlebotomists have bloody good ideas!"
The list of questions and exclusions seems to get longer every time I do this. As I've noted here before, I wonder if all these exclusions might not cost as many lives as they save. Since I'm one of the few people I know who's eligible to give blood, I try to do it a couple of times a year, since it's got to come from someplace.
UPDATE: Reader D. Norwood writes: "As the parent of 2 immune deficient children who are alive today because of regular infusions of a blood product (gamma globulin), I want to thank you for donating blood. You literally saved lives today and 2 of those lives are very precious to me."
If you can donate, it's good to do so. We take blood availability for granted but, like a lot of things that we take for granted, it's only there because people do what's necessary.

Help "Turn the World Red" on World AIDS Day to unlock your (RED) badge
Wednesday, December 1 marks (RED)'s World AIDS Day, where landmarks around the world will be illuminated in red lights to highlight the cause of HIV/AIDS prevention. The organization's goal is for the year 2015 to mark the beginning of the first AIDS-free generation.
To raise awareness, social network users can help to turn a map of the world red using Twitter and Facebook or by attending a (RED) Meetup. Foursquare users can also participate by including the hashtag "#turnred" when they check in at any location, which will unlock a special (RED) badge.
The checkins (if they're posted to Twitter), tweets and Facebook profile photos will be posted to a map on the (RED) website. Countries that see the most activity across the different channels will turn a deeper shade of red. You'll be able to filter the activities based on the social network — foursquare included — that generated it.
(RED)'s primary objective is to raise awareness and funds for the Global Fund, which supports efforts to eliminate AIDS in Africa. A significant portion of their funds are raised by brands like Apple and Gap that offer special (RED) versions of their products and donate a portion of the proceeds to the Global Fund. You can follow (RED) on foursquare to find retailers near you that offer (PRODUCT) RED.
According to their press release:
HIV/AIDS is preventable and treatable but UNAIDS statistics published last week estimate 370,000 children are infected with the disease in 2009, down from 430,000 in 2008. Without treatment, as many as half will die by the age of two. Currently, only 45% of pregnant women have access to the medicine they need to stop transmission, but collectively, prevention measures for pregnant women including HIV screening, antiretroviral medication for those who test positive, treatment during and after labour and infant feeding guidance, have been shown to block mother-to-child transmission in up to 99% of cases and the focus is now on making sure every pregnant woman who needs treatment receives it.
Do you plan to support (RED) when you check in on Wednesday?

KARLIN — A man who recently had 10 propane tanks stolen from his Karlin business said the theft is a testament to tough economic times.
"I assume someone couldn't afford gas and needed it for heating and cooking," said Frank Sorna, owner of Karlin Market & Deli near Interlochen. "It shows the need of our people; our economy's the culprit, really, to drive this kind of thing."
The Blue Rhino propane canisters were heisted sometime overnight early this week from the business at 7464 Nessen Road, Grand Traverse Lt. Bryan Marrow said in a press release.
Sorna believes the thief used a steel rod to pry open a lock on the cage that enclosed the tanks.
The tanks sell for $49.95 each, putting the business back about $500.
Sorna said eight tanks were stolen from his business a year ago.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department at 231-995-5000 or Silent Observer at 231-947-8477.

Obama's Economic Fatalism
by Jason Williams, Sun Jul 10, 2011 at 05:27:03 PM EDT
Yglesias challenges (with graphs!) Obama's recent assertion on the Today Show that while the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was a success, it's possible nothing more can be done about unemployment.
The President:
There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to be much more efficient with fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don't go to a bank teller. Or you see it when you go to the airport and you use a kiosk instead of checking at the gate
Maybe Barack Obama has some reason to believe that the pace of technological change accelerated in some unaccountable way during his time in office. But above I've illustrated my alternative theory of the recession. It shows that the housing crisis and the problems in the banking sector led to a historically unprecedented drop in personal consumption. It also shows that while consumption has ticked back up, it hasn't returned to its pre-recession trend level. All else being equal, if households spend fewer dollars, then fewer people will be employed in providing them with goods and services. One strategy would be to ensure that all else is not equal and that government spending fills the gap opened up by the collapse in private spending. But that hasn't happened. Federal spending has continued roughly at trend levels, and state/local spending has also fallen below trend. The result is mass unemployment.
Prolonged unemployment, the White House seems to be arguing, is simply a result of a sudden structural shift in the economy due to rapid technological advances -- advances that haven't accellerated during Obama's first term or since the recession began. The ARRA did all we could, and now we just wait and see what happens? The government spent some. Gave it an honest go. End of story?
Outside of the poor economic (anti)-policy behind this position, I don't see how "Not Much Else We Can Do" plays well as a 2012 campaign slogan.

Dog missing! Please help...(UPDATE FOUND)!!!!Posted Sunday, January 17, 2010, at 9:25 AM
PLEASE return him...
He is wearing a collar with ID. He looks like a mini siberian husky, we rescued him 7 years ago. His name is Buddy. This is my sons' and husbands' dog.
PLEASE return him to us. We live on Smith street right behind Kroger
Please contact Lesa or Barry at:
909 Smith street
Shelbyville, TN 37160
9:30 am... sunday: He has been found! My neighbor called he came wandering up to visit her pit bull.
He was hiding somewhere while we frantically looked around the blocks.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
The prayers worked.. we looked for 2 hours and prayed... a neighbor called. He had deceided to visit her pit bull. Thank you Lord for return this dog to us.

Does he have malamute ancestory? The coat and the facial markings have me wondering.
-- Posted by KelliM on Sun, Jan 17, 2010, at 9:51 AM
I have not a clue.. He was a rescue 7 years ago. He is full grown but small. He's either Spitz and husky or Spitz and malmute.. and he is a sneak off artist.
-- Posted by 4fabfelines on Sun, Jan 17, 2010, at 10:56 AM
I'm VERY glad he got home safely.
(Especially since I think he's listened to my barking brats.)
I've seen him when I'd be near Kroger and had no idea I knew his family.
Now that I know his name,I may be able to catch him if I see him out AWOL (Absent WithOut Lesa) or call you.
I've not seen him much so he may be staying indoors more.
I know that my pups aren't escaping from our yard as badly as they once did so they check in with their buddies by howls more than nose-sniffing visits.
Now that I know Buddy's identity,I'll advise them to get in touch with him online rather than attempt real life meetings.
(He is a lovely gentleman,though.)

Did you find out who picked the dog up when it went missing?
-- Posted by AmericanWoman on Mon, Jan 18, 2010, at 7:39 AM
no the dog was hiding from us when we called. He usually stays in the back yard... but he decieded to wander.. maybe a squirrel inticed him.
-- Posted by 4fabfelines on Mon, Jan 18, 2010, at 8:25 AM
Don't you worry about him getting hit by a car? Also, Shelbyville does have a leash law so if he's out wandering, the dog catcher could pick him up.
I'm not "bashing", just stating a fact. You can always put him on a tie out to do his business so he won't wander off.
-- Posted by lovemyschnzr on Tue, Jan 19, 2010, at 4:07 PM
I have clarified the city ordinance. It is interpreted as, As long as you are on your on property and you are with your pet you are within the law. I got that strait from the Anamal control Department. The answer to your question is Yes. Are you concerned about a accident with your pets? Check your facts and the interpretation of the city codes. Have you ever had your pet slip off? The Owner of Buddy has a large kennel. You do not have all the facts.
There for you are Bashing!
-- Posted by bear on Tue, Jan 19, 2010, at 6:56 PM
I don't want to get too specific online but I'm just a few miles from you.
I hit your part of the world to get my walking done,shop and hunt down my dogs when they manage to get loose from their enclosure.
I've seen that little,gray dog about a dozen times (most were probably in or near your yard). Once was near that wooded area behind Kroger's (where my pups had gone) and about twice near Smith's grocery.
You could say we've "howdied but we ain't shook".
He is on tail-wagging terms with my kids,though and has slowed them down so I could get them caught.
I'd rather our furry friends could make playdates at a dog park or something to improvising their own meet-ups and entertainment.
Maybe,we could set up the same sort of gathering places we've established for our human kids.
(Anybody know of a good,empty barking lot?)
-- Posted by quantumcat on Tue, Jan 19, 2010, at 8:00 PM
I see no indication in previous comments that 'ilovemyshcnzr' was bashing.
I don't know this poster well, only know of him/her through others, and would guess that the comments emanate from a strong conviction of protecting animal welfare.
Sometimes when one feels stongly about or has seen much to influence a certain opinion, statements of fact are often construed more harshly than intended.
-- Posted by KelliM on Tue, Jan 19, 2010, at 10:26 PM
Point taken. We have taken in numerious strays, Payed to have them fixed and found them homes. We have also been at war with the local animal control folk about the lack of responce when you need them for strays. I am sure her comments were from a heart of compassion. Often times you cant tell the full story in a time of help as Lesa posted her need for help. However I stand corrected and am on board with those who feel as we do that if you have a animal it needs to be properly cared for. Thanks
-- Posted by bear on Wed, Jan 20, 2010, at 5:46 AM
quantum !! Hello, I do think I know you.. you would come in to the computer pace where i work and had the heart of Christ one day for a co worker that was disabled and in need.
GOOD to "meet" with you again.
Buddy is being monitered even more closely so he does not do any more escape tactics, in fact we are fixing to put up a critter cam to watch and see where houdini escapes.
-- Posted by 4fabfelines on Wed, Jan 20, 2010, at 5:56 AM
I will say we know one another.
Anything else,I think I'll save for when I see you offline.
(I've just run into too many of the wrong people not to want a "secret identity".
*I*'m supposed to be the weird person one meets on the Internet!)
If anyone gives their heart to the Lord,He's good about offering them the use of His in return.
(Now,if I just could get the other guy's head out of my backside...)
Good luck with Buddy.
We had our darlings microchipped and I'm wondering if I could get them equipped with GPS.
We wound up having to line the perimeters of their kennel with barriers to keep them in but it's kept them alive plus,it's a lot cheaper than paying the fines for their running at large.
Let's hope the critter cam helps keep Buddy safe-even if he is under "house arrest."

the shows have been great. we're selling out everything. before the tour, me and Marley talked a lot about the tour. i mean like two years ago a lot. as it got closer, we could feel an energy building up. i'm glad we weren't let down. moreover, the fans are getting an amazing show. it's soja, rebelution, and zion i. each one of the bands alone is worth the ticket price. its like a mini festival for twenty some dollars. badass.
theres a lot of brotherly love, crazy times, and good parties after the shows. we always find a good excuse to have a party. the soja bus and the rebelution bus are right next to each other. its inevitable.
we've gotten the chance to get to know zumbi and amp live from zion I, as well as their boy holiday and manager tim. all really cool guys. holiday can sing his ass off, and he and our trumpet player rafael rodriguez finish the whole show. its something to see.
hmm… stories, huh? well,. i broke one of my ribs in san francisco. ive been playing every show like that. it sucks. i went to the hospital and they were like "how long is your tour?" i said "two months. how long do these take to heal?" they said, "two months." i high fived the nurse and went to play the show. it hurt a lot at first and everyone was being really gentle around me, but i think everyone forgot by now, cuz Marley keeps giving me bear hugs on stage.
we do a song at the end of the show called the Brodeo. it's an outcast cover song and were talking about adding a bob Marley song at the tail end. it rules.
me and eric sing "suffering" from BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE and bobby does "through the window." its tight. the show has lot of collaboration. me and eric went and recorded "suffering" live at MoBoogie studios in colorado.
SOJA recorded our new song "changes" in san francisco at fault line studios with our boy Yosh. cool cat who works with Michael Franti. the song is badass. i wrote it a couple months ago, and then turned on the TV one morning and saw the news coverage of haiti. its terrible. i lived in africa and some poor neighborhoods when i was a kid, but nothing, nothing like that. my boy is a photographer abroad and i asked him whats up. he wasn't there but his colleagues were and they said it looked and felt like armageddon. we realized we had to release the song, album or single or whatever, while people were still thinking about haiti. people are funny. it was all over the news and now its gone. nobody cares any more but we all did a week ago. we are releasing the song in a few weeks, hopefully to keep the less fortunate people of this earth, our brothers and sisters, in the forefront of peoples minds.
were giving twenty percent of Born In Babylon show sales to WFP (world food program) direct to haiti. we also have a shirt that says "soja for haiti" and the lyrics for "changes" on the back. we give 100% of proceeds from that. were raising a lot of money. it feels good, but we have to keep going.
we look forward to the future of this tour; if the first few weeks have been this good, who knows whats gonna hapen. my only advice is that you get your tickets now, come early, and stay late.

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — John "Jackie" Peterson cannot recapture his glory days, but he's revisiting his racing origins.
The 89-year-old and his friend and fellow car enthusiast, Clement Couture, spent the past two years and about 1,000 hours tweaking a reproduction of Peterson's 1947 Sprint-racing car.
"I had five different engines in it," Peterson said of the first car.
These included a Ford Model A and six-cylinder Hudson motor.
"After the war (World War II) ended, there were a lot of old cars," Peterson said. "These were the only cars around. Stock cars hadn't started."
He raced at 40 tracks over 16 years. These included tracks at Moffitt Park, Ticonderoga and Vermont.
"They were all dirt tracks," Peterson said. "These were half-mile dirt cars, halfway between a midget and championship car."
His brother, Roland, was an aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Air Force. Post-World War II, he helped Peterson build the racers.
"He was pretty good at getting it to go faster," he said.
Peterson traded a Sprint for a Diamond T truck to haul a stock car around. Saturday nights, he raced stock cars.
"I raced the first race at Airborne," he said.
"NASCAR sanctioned local races in the old days," Couture said.
Sundays, Peterson headed to the dirt tracks in Montreal.
"I raced all over Montreal, La Prairie. We raced Sunday nights at Richelieu Park, a horse-racing track," Peterson said.
His celebrity includes four championship wins: 1950, in Vermont; 1956, at Airborne; and 1956 and 1957, at Fort Covington.
His most reliable pit crew was Dick Amell, a construction colleague.
In 1954, Peterson had his own car but blew out the engine. Dutcher Construction asked him to race their car when a driver was a no-show. It was a good deal for him because he got a job out of it as well the opportunity to race.
"They hired me to be a scraper. They were out of Queenstown, Md. They were putting in the runway at the airbase," he said.
Couture, a vintage car-parts collector, and Peterson met two years ago through a mutual friend, Jerry Seymour.
This summer, they exhibited the last incarnation of the Sprint at Airborne Speedway.
The 1,200-pound car is disassembled for the installation of a Pinto motor.
The mustard-yellow car is made of disparate parts. Its frame is a 1929 Essex. The front end is from a Model A. The nose is from a 1935 Ford truck. The chrome grille came from a friend. The transmission and rear axle are from a Model A.
Peterson fabricated the rear section from sheet metal. The car's fuel tank is from a tractor. Its seat is from a World War II fighter plane. The hood and cowl was a repurposed hot-water tank.
"The upholstery was done by my granddaughter," Couture said. "She's a seamstress. She painted that, Wynn Oil Special. They sponsored Jackie back in the old days."
The car's fuel pump is a bicycle's hand pump. The steering is an amalgamation of parts from a '36 and a '55 Chevrolet.
The steering wheel is an old racer steering wheel that Couture had. The wheels, with flashy red spokes, are from a 1935 Ford.
The belly pan, 7 inches from the ground, is from the hood of a bulldozer.
Peterson said in time trials, the Sprints clocked 86 mph.
"But, we went a little bit faster," he said.
What Couture and Peterson don't have, they turn to friend Charlie Provost, who has a machine shop.
The goal is to finish the Sprint by Thanksgiving.
"Jackie was quite famous in the racing world," Couture said. "In Montreal, they would pay him to show up because he was so well-known."
