EAST LIVERPOOL - For James Locke, there was no question where he wanted to settle in and ply his trade after completing his service during World War II, and for 57 years, the love of his hometown on the river became an anchor for the community.
Now that anchor, James Locke Jewelers on East Fifth Street, is going the way of many small town retailers and will close sometime after Christmas.
The news of the store's closing spread like wildfire through the community, bringing customers into the jewelers this week, not just for bargains but to say goodbye, share a tear and a memory or two.
When James came home from war, he had two job offers in his pocket, according to his wife, Margaret: One from a jeweler in Texas, the other from a jeweler in North Carolina.
He had been doing watch repair prior to entering the service, Margaret said, adding, "I told him, 'Look, Jim, you decide this by yourself.'"
After celebrating Christmas with his folks, James came to her and said, "Look, Marge, I've been away from my family long enough. I want to stay home."
"We've never been sorry," she said Thursday during an interview at their Fifth Street home.
Initially, her husband worked for Morton's on Sixth Street for nine years but, "All that time, he kept saying, 'I want my own store,' and one day he came home and said, 'We're going to start our own store.' We had $200 in pennies and lots of credit from vendors," Margaret said with a smile.
On Oct. 29, 1955, they opened a small store at Sixth and Broadway with no heat, or running water, then in February they moved the business to the current location, renting space from Joseph Holloway.
Margaret mused, "We rented from him for 17 years before we bought the store, and all they ever had between them was a handshake, even when we bought the store."
In July 1973, a fire made it necessary to move, lock, stock and barrel, to a storefront at Walnut and Bradshaw that had no hot water and no air conditioning.
The morning after the fire, the Lockes arrived at their burned-out building to find people lined up, asking what they could do to help.
"We had to go back into business. They wouldn't let us quit," Margaret said.
On Oct. 29, still able to see blue sky through the unfinished roof and with carpet still being installed, the Lockes moved back into their store on Fifth Street.
The couple's sons Jimmy and Keith, "grew up in the store," often shoveling snow or washing windows, and Margaret said, "That was one of the blessings of the store. I didn't have to worry about a babysitter."
James went on to earn the highest title available in this country as a certified gemologist, with Margaret attaining the second-highest title of registered jewelist, maintaining memberships in the American Gem Society and Gem Institute of America, and continuing their education over the years.
In addition to providing the community with a premier downtown retail shop, they showed their commitment to the city in other ways, with James becoming a founding member of the 1st National Community Bank about 25 years ago and when they decided to build a new home downtown at a time when most people were headed to the suburbs.
"We had a beautiful home on Broadview Circle, but Jim wanted back downtown," Margaret said.
After trading lots with the city, the couple began building the first new house built in the city in more than a half century.
In September 2003, the city lost one of its greatest supporters with the death of James Locke, but Margaret along with a dedicated staff has continued on at the downtown jewelers.
Always offering personal service, the business gained a loyal clientele, more like close friends than customers.
Margaret remembered two widows who came in asking what to do with their wedding rings after "friends" advised it was wrong for them to continue wearing them.
"Those are not your friends," Margaret remembered advising the ladies, who walked out with newly-cleaned and sparkling wedding rings back on their fingers.
With changes in the way society shops, more likely to choose malls over downtown shopping, the Locke family recently decided it was time to close the store and began letting people know with a Nov. 9 flier to "preferred customers."
Since then, the store has been crowded, and Margaret has received letters from loyal customers, thanking her for the years of service.
"I feel like my heart had been pulled out and is lying on the sidewalk. I don't feel like I'll ever be the same."

With all the new developments taking place in biopharma right now, it often feels like we're living in the future—but the future holds even more promise. This article lists 10 trends we think are likely to reshape biopharma in the coming years—if not starting in 2013—based on a spot-check of recent journal articles, public announcements, news reports, and commentaries in GEN and elsewhere:
Nina Tandon, Ph.D., offered a refreshing change from typical celebs-and-sleaze daytime TV fare as a guest on Katie Couric's talk show December 1. The senior fellow at Columbia University's Lab for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering—an electrical and biochemical engineer whose research focuses on directing cell growth and differentiation through electrical signals—was celebrated as a "Woman Who Should Be Famous."
Dr. Tandon's work in growing 3D bioprinted heart tissue is expected to lead to the growth and implantation of complex organs, like the heart and liver, into patients. When Katie asked, "How long until an actual fabricated human heart can be transplanted?", Nina replied, "I think it will be about 15 to 20 years"—the same answer she gave GEN for an October 10 article on the progress and challenges of fabricating tissue for human use, "Tissue Engineering No Soft Cell".
Scientists from the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Laboratory and Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) developed a technique that holds potential for preventing children from inheriting mitochondrial diseases.
In a study published online in Nature December 19, researchers detailed how they removed the nucleus of an unfertilized egg cell, replacing it with the nucleus of another donor's egg cell. The egg cell contained the genome of the donor, but not her mitochondrial DNA. Cell lines were grown for more than a year and generated adult neurons, heart cells and pancreatic beta cells. The donated genome's original mitochondria were undetectable, preventing inherited diseases from passing down to children.
Next steps include production of more mitochondrial disease-free egg cells and the generation of healthy progeny in an animal model. But in their paper, the researchers hinted the technique won't find wide use quickly: "Before proceeding with human clinical trials on the transfer of the maternal genome, it will be important to publicly discuss patient needs, ethical considerations, and to establish appropriate guidelines for the use of oocyte nuclear genome transfer in assisted reproduction."
Two breakthroughs this year made it possible to talk about gene therapy coming of age, and within a generation, envision its wide use in reversing disease. One was the European Union's November 2 approval of uniQure's marketing authorization application for Glybera® (alipogene tiparvovec) for lipoprotein lipase deficiency, the Western world's first approved gene therapy drug.
"The precedent of an approved AAV [adeno-associated virus] product is going to help enormously in the further business development and commercialization of gene therapy," said James M. Wilson, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, editor-in-chief of Human Gene Therapy, HGT Methods, and HGT Clinical Development, all published by GEN Publisher Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
The other milestone was the success by researchers at University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine of a gene therapy that used infusions of patients' own T cells genetically engineered to attack their tumors. The technique showed nine of 12 leukemia patients in remission, two of them for more than two years.
More than a year after FDA urged clinical trial sponsors to use risk-based remote monitoring, AMC Health announced on December 18 that it won agency approval to do so in a Phase IIa trial by Transparency Life Sciences of the blood pressure drug lisinopril in patients with multiple sclerosis. Researchers will collect data on blood pressure and heart rate, mobility, physical and mental function, symptoms, side effects, quality of life, and medication adherence, directly from patients in their homes. It's not the first clinical trial to use remote monitoring; AMC Health said it is also assisting a Phase I trial by a "major pharmaceutical company" it won't identify.
Pfizer claimed the distinction last year when it announced the first randomized clinical trial entirely using electronic tools, with some 600 patients participating from 10 clinical sites. As biopharmas grow their appetite for cutting R&D costs, telemonitoring can be expected to see much wider clinical use.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and Howard Hughes Medical Institute earlier this month published proof-of-principle data in Science Translational Medicine showing promise for detecting cancer in late-stage patients through DNA changes seen via noninvasive whole-genome sequencing of blood plasma.
Rebecca Leary, Ph.D., the study's first author and a Johns Hopkins postdoctoral fellow, told the blog of the New York Genome Center she is hopeful the technique "could be applied in some aspect of the clinic within the next five years or so," since the cost of DNA sequencing continues to fall (this was the year of the much-ballyhooed $1,000 genome). But she added that such sequencing must also be proven to detect early-stage cancers as well, which will require large clinical trials.

6 Types of Apologies That Aren't Apologies at All
With everyone's every deed made public on the Internet these days, we've suddenly all developed a lot more to apologize for. But we haven't actually gotten any sorrier, so all that means is that the number of fake apologies have gone up. And we've started to develop some pretty universal techniques for "apologizing" without really apologizing.
Here's some of the most common offenders.
#6. "I Deeply Regret"
One of the popular go-to phrases is "I deeply regret ..." It's such a useful tool in the unapologetic person's arsenal because it doesn't require you to admit you did anything wrong. I don't know if it's technically correct, but it's common to send "regrets" to a friend whose loved one has just died, and nobody takes it as an admission that you were responsible for their uncle's death.
A confession?
Chairman Steven H. Davis made use of the phrase to sound vaguely sorry after causing the collapse of his law firm, while claiming he had nothing to do with said collapse. "A dispassionate and disinterested review of the facts will confirm that I have not engaged in any misconduct," he said. "I did my best to navigate the firm through challenging and turbulent times, and I deeply regret our current situation." He doesn't know how the company ended up going down the drain; he is just shaking his head sadly with the rest of you in sympathy, like if your uncle had died.
Deep regrets also often go hand-in-hand with the good old "if," where you totally would be sorry if you had, hypothetically, done something bad (but you didn't). The mayor of Sunland Park, New Mexico, apologized by saying, "If I ever let [the citizens of Sunland Park] down in any way, I deeply regret it." Which is, to be fair, a big if, because all he's really admitted to was being so drunk while signing city contracts that he didn't know what they were, which he apparently thought would be a clever excuse to avoid paying the company he signed the contract with.
"If I tell them I was passing-out drunk, they'll have to let me keep all this! It's foolproof!"
So the guy either has a serious alcohol problem that interferes with his work, or he's retarded, or, more likely, both. Does this constitute "letting the voters down"? Who knows? Let's throw an "if" in there to be safe. And if he has completely deflated some voters' faith in their civic government? Is he sorry for what he's done? Ouch, that's a little strong. Best to go with "deeply regret."
People who deeply regret things often are pretty hazy on the specifics of what they did. When the U.S. General Services Administration got called on the carpet for spending over $800,000 on a Vegas trip, agency head Martha Johnson personally apologized to "the American people" for "the entire situation," which could technically refer to anything from the recession to global warming.
Or the Miami Heat forming a superteam?
Then she pulled out the old "deeply regret," deeply regretting that "the exceedingly good work of the GSA has been besmirched," and that she lost her job, ignoring that anyone upset enough to want an apology probably didn't give two shits about the good name of the GSA or her losing her job. Maybe something along the lines of "I'm sorry I spent your taxes on a mind reader, that was pretty dumb" would have gone over better.
#5. "Mistakes Were Made"
For those who feel that "deeply regret" is admitting too much responsibility, they can upgrade to "mistakes were made," the highest level of non-apology, used at the highest levels of government. Presidents as diverse as Reagan and Clinton have used the phrase, which one-ups "deeply regret" by not only leaving it open whether they are actually the culprit but existentially questioning whether there even is one.
"If a mistake was made in a forest, with no one around ..."
All agree that mistakes were made, but by whom? God? The universe? Can we ever really know? Isn't it a waste of taxpayer dollars to launch a special investigation into something that can never really be answered? Shouldn't we leave it up to the philosophers?
What's next, appointing a special counsel to discover what happened to the wonder of childhood?
When Reagan acknowledges that "mistakes were made" in the Iran-Contra affair, he takes the extra step of vowing that he will "get to the bottom of this" and "take whatever action is called for," which is eerily similar to O.J.'s vow to find the real murderer.
Some people like to frame this as a trend of our modern culture shifting away from accepting responsibility, but it's worth noting that the phrase is at least as old as Ulysses S. Grant, who said in his 1876 State of the Union address that "Mistakes have been made, as all can see and I admit," but also that "It is not necessarily evidence of blunder on the part of the Executive."
And I wouldn't be surprised if Adam and Eve told God that "Apples were eaten," or if Cain had shrugged and said, "Brothers get killed." Hey, it does happen.
#4. Apologizing for Someone Else
I wouldn't think I would have to explain this, but apparently some people require it: You can only apologize for yourself. Maybe there are some gray areas, like apologizing symbolically for a group you are part of, but you sure as hell should not be apologizing for the person you are apologizing to.
"I'm genuinely sorry that you are such a possessive bitch."
This happens all the time, often in a fairly harmless attempt to save a little face, like in a sports discussion. "Jeff, I think a lot of folks misunderstood that statement, and for that I apologize." Maybe he really meant that folks misunderstood because "I worded things badly" or "I shouldn't have said X" and thought it would be implied, but he never actually takes anything back, so I don't know.
But that's just a bit of language hedging we're probably all guilty of. Sometimes people are a lot more deliberate about pointing the finger at other people, like the pastor who advised parents to punch their gay children. He later said, "I apologize to anyone I have unintentionally offended. I did not say anything to intentionally offend anyone in the LGBT community ... It is unfortunate I was not more careful and deliberate. I can understand how these words could be misunderstood without the context of years of ministering to the people of God at Berean Baptist Church. I have received nothing but notes of appreciation and support from the people within the church."
"When I preached to the choir, they surprisingly all agreed with me! It's really rare, right? That's what the saying means?"
He could have stopped at the first couple of sentences and it would have been an apology (though probably an unsatisfactory one to most people), but he really sticks his foot in his mouth by going on to say that the apology is only needed for people who don't really get what he is saying, and all the people who get it (the people in his church) are appreciative. So he really didn't say anything wrong, because the smart people get it. What he is sorry about is that you offended morons do not have the years of experience to understand it.
Ingrid Newkirk of PETA was even more blatant about it. After an ad campaign comparing animal cruelty today to the Holocaust, Newkirk wrote a statement of "apology" where there was about one paragraph of apology and the rest was basically, "I KNOW LOTS OF JEWS THAT WERE FINE WITH IT!" to the point where the main message wasn't anything like "We shouldn't have done this campaign," but actually "If you were offended, and none of these real Jews were, what does that say about you?" It was basically a passive-aggressive attempt to shame anyone offended by the campaign by accusing them of hyperbolic fake outrage about something "real Jews" don't even have a problem with.
Everyone knows you are immune from accusations of racism as long as you are touching a member of that group.
Probably one of the ballsiest variations is apologizing for a completely unrelated third party, as Congressman Joe Barton did to BP. After BP's Gulf oil disaster, the White House asked BP to pony up some money for cleanup because, you know, that sort of makes sense. This made Joe Barton livid, saying he was "ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday," despite not working in that branch of government at all, and "I'm only speaking for myself. I'm not speaking for anyone else, but I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where anytime a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong, [it is] subject to some sort of political pressure that, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown."
It takes a lot of balls to say "only speaking for myself" while "apologizing" for something his political enemy just did yesterday. That is like the CEO of McDonald's holding a press conference to "apologize" for how tasteless and bland Burger King burgers are. "I am sorry to every American who had to eat what is basically processed cardboard."

on November 12, 2012 - 11:51 PM
At the risk of sounding like everyone who predicted that Mitt Romney was a sure thing, let me say this about my opinion on efforts to reverse local government downsizing: I was wrong.
In a previous column, I looked at the trends regarding the public's appetite for Kevin Gaughan's brand of government reform – his earlier failure to persuade voters to eliminate village governments, his September loss in an Assembly primary, public drives to reverse the Town Board downsizing he championed – and concluded that his work was about to be undone.
I even cleverly suggested that his efforts appeared to be just about "gone." (Get it?)
But given the way voters in Alden and West Seneca last week overwhelmingly upheld the downsizing of their town boards from five members to three, I now realize the better play on his name was to say that Gaughan was not forgotten.
I fell into the trap of listening to elected officials and their argument that three-member boards caused more problems than they solved. Two fewer people meant more work to go around and a greater chance that voting deadlocks were likely.
There also was the contention from board members that although some savings were realized by not having to pay two officials, that cost was a pittance compared with the overall town budget and that the real reform was needed at the state and federal levels. They talked about it during meetings while their minions parroted their positions in letters to the editor.
I now see that there is a word for their argument: whining.
"All of these town officials, rather than embracing and following orders from sovereign citizens, have done everything to undermine and sabotage it," Gaughan said last week.
I also made the mistake of underestimating the estimable Gaughan. He conceded that his loss in the Assembly primary left him "on the ropes," which should have meant that he was too bloodied for another fight. On that point, I was half-right: He might not have been in the mood to protect his legacy, but his supporters were.
"This little dichotomy of 'Is this about Kevin Gaughan or is this it about downsizing?' misses the point," he said. "It's about both. I take a great measure of pride in leading this, but it's a powerful idea. And it was the idea that saved us in this go-round."
There's also this: The people who voted to downsize town boards a few years ago are the same people who go to work and do jobs that used to be done by two or more people. That audience is not receptive to the argument their "overworked" leaders were pushing.
"All my work seeks is to get government to do what every private citizen, family and business has done in response to our dwindling population, and that is: Adapt, innovate and do more with less," he said.
It's a good point and an effective argument. So now rather than undoing Gaughan's work, elected officials have inadvertently solidified it.
What Gaughan has accomplished is impressive, but is still largely symbolic. The public has backed downsizing because whether their boards have five members or three has no effect on their lives. Real reform – such as eliminating village governments or merging school districts – remains elusive, and I doubt that he will ever be able to convince voters to take that step.
Then again, I've been wrong before.

I've been in the mood lately to snoop around behind the scenes at different places to see their inner workings. The thought occurred to me to do the same at the Charleston Museum. Goodness knows, I thought, what they must have tucked away in storage rooms and so forth that no one ever gets to see.
Well, I called one person who spoke to another who finally got me connected with J. Grahame Long, curator of history at the museum, who made the proper arrangements. And let me say, it was a remarkable experience.
When the old museum located in Cannon Park burned down in the fall of 1981, inventory had thankfully already been transferred to the new building on the northeast corner of Meeting and John streets, a building that had then, as it does now, its architectural critics.
It's just a big boxy brick thing, people say. In the literal sense, that's probably true, but it's also an indestructible, fireproof fortress that will be around longer than the pyramids at Giza if no one fools with it.
The building sailed through Hurricane Hugo instead of getting blown away and is big enough, from what I can tell, to store way more at any given moment than what's on display.
The primary storage area is tiered and packed to the rafters with everything imaginable, although the museum is currently trying to acquire only items that mesh with its Charleston- and South Carolina-oriented mission statement. Temperature and humidity are strictly controlled.
No longer with us
One of the first areas I was taken through concerned ornithology, and the first species shown me was the beloved Carolina parakeet, extinct now for about a century. There were several lying there quietly, a few of them so well-preserved and vibrant in color that one would almost expect them to wake up and fly away.
It's like seeing the colors of the game fish known as dolphin for the first time (or mahi mahi) — brilliant and shiny. Examining the specimens makes it hard to believe that such beautiful, social and chatty creatures (or so has been written) once populated the area and were killed off to support the millinery industry or because they were perceived as a nuisance to farmers.
Interestingly, one of the birds is on display in the main part of the museum. Next to the display are copies of a verbal and artistic characterization by famed English naturalist Mark Catesby (1682-1749), who had the first published account of the flora and fauna of North America.
Whereas I like Catesby, my impression was that he missed the mark (so to speak) on the artistic rendering and made the subject look like one of those unfortunate ladies who sat for a portrait by Jeremiah Theus.
Theus, a Swiss-born American painter (1716-1774), was active mostly around Charleston, where his reputation was unrivaled. His paintings are worth a fortune and yet he must have had a thing against women, because most of his female subjects look ghastly — as does Catesby's parakeet — all stiff and double-chinned. The only thing the parakeet is missing to absolutely nail down the comparison is a natty little moustache, the hint of which Theus seems to bestow upon all his ladies.
More secrets
Anyway, I digress. Back to the storage room. The next drawer over contains stellar examples of the passenger pigeon, another species gone now for about a century. This was a lovely bird that might be confused with the mourning dove based on coloring, although it was much larger with very graceful contours, long tail feathers and a telltale, subtle patch of iridescent reddish purple (fuchsia? — hate that word) on the back of the neck that doves lack.
It's very sobering and a reminder of man's natural tendency toward overindulgence contemplating a bird that once numbered in the billions now gone forever (unless genetic engineering can bring it back). "The air was literally filled with pigeons," wrote J.J. Audubon on one of his expeditions. "The light of noon day was obscured as by an eclipse."
In this part of the storage area, there are all types of skins, pelts, fossils, eggs, skeletons — you name it, it's there. In an adjoining room is a massive collection of marine animals and amphibians stored in various flammable liquids (including rum, from way back in the day).
Due to the nature of these liquids, fire is of particular concern. If an alarm should go off, one has about 30 seconds to get out of that room before automatic doors shut and — if the situation warrants it — a substance is released from pipes that sucks all the oxygen out of the air, extinguishing everything, including the hapless person(s) trapped inside.
The confines of space limit what I can say about the museum, but suffice to say that its collection of antique furniture (particularly Charleston pieces) is first-rate, as are the fabrics, silver, period uniforms and firearms, porcelains, representative technologies and so forth, many of which date back to the Colonial era. The Civil-War-era artifacts are outstanding. Everything is neatly archived, researched, documented and subject to ongoing scholarly interpretation.
With this type of inventory, one may be assured that making a visit every now and again will likely yield refreshing viewing opportunities and excitement for supporting a worthy cause.

SALEM - Business opportunities spun off from the oil and gas industry continue building and the region needs to strengthen its hand to take full advantage of them.
And at least one of the 80 guests attending the 2013 Columbiana County "Teaming 4 Success" Economic Development Summit at the Salem Community Center Monday said it will be shame if the region doesn't do that.
Upgrades to the U.S. Route 30 corridor that splits the county from east to west are a big part of the opportunity equation for county Engineer Bert Dawson.
A vital 30-mile link from state Route 11 to Canton is two lanes and Dawson, especially with the shale boom, is more insistent than ever about the region's "need for good transportation for the next 20 to 30 years."
West of Canton is a 240-mile, four-lane link to Chicago and Dawson said, "We have to prepare for what's going to happen with this oil and gas."
Exploitation of massive natural gas plays is expected to evolve into a mass transportation switchover to natural gas vehicles and Dawson sees a continuing erosion of the gas pump taxes critical to road maintenance because of that.
A tenured proponent of the Route 30 widening, Dawson said his approach to the Ohio Department of Transportation and its Transportation Review Advisory Council is, "Are you aware of what's happening? ... in northeast Ohio, Stark, Carroll and Columbiana counties?"
He added, "ODOT has no plan to address the energy needs in this energy explosion."
There is money, Dawson said, for what he tells state officials is the "Energy Corridor" through Stark, Carroll, Columbiana and Harrison counties.
A private firm estimated it will cost $650 million to widen the 30-mile stretch and Dawson said it could be funded by a long-term $475 million bond paid for by tolls and $120 million in Ohio Turnpike (diesel) severance money.
Dawson and elected officials from surrounding counties will ask the state for the severance money next month.
"It starts to become feasible," he said, but in response to a question, even if expedited, the project is four to five years out for a four-lane road and about two years out for what he called a "super two" lane road.
"It's phenomenal what's happening in Carroll County," Dawson said, noting 100 wells have been drilled. Also, he signed 11 road use management agreements (RUMAs) last week in Columbiana County.
Larry Kosiba, executive director for the Sustainable Opportunity Development Center, an arm of the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce which presented the forum along with the six other chambers in Columbiana County, said the Route 30 project was dead for many years but "Bert Dawson has pulled this together."
Steve Fritsch of Team Ohio, spoke on the regional economic competitiveness in Northeast Ohio and the network approach to market it. Team Ohio partners with Jobs Ohio.
He said it was about building collaborative networks adding that, "I don't think business or practitioners leverage very well."
To build a best-in-class economic development system obstacles have to be overcome including entry points into the system, which Fritsch said was something they were "trying to stress."
He said the system needs to work and people know what's in place to connect resources that support economic growth on a regional basis ... and to set up and environment to make it happen.
Fritsch said Team NEO has a research team at its disposal with a "tremendous amount of resources."
Its approach is pretty simple, he said, explaining Team NEO must first understand the project or "what is causing the growth," and then understand the challenge and what would prohibit a company from growing and what it needs.
After that it's a matter for the Team NEO's support network and following up with financial possibilities ranging from tax credits to infrastructure grants, training and higher education.
Fritsch said one thing many people are unaware of is "Ohio's improved tax climate," adding, "this is one of the states' big selling points ... it's relatively unknown" when compared to other midwestern states.
Other assets Ohio has to attract business is a location that helps minimize transportation risks and costs while increasing shareholder value.
In an oil and gas related question regarding what happens when all the construction is completed and the gas lines are in the ground, Paul R. Boulier, vice president of Team NEO, said the challenge is to keep the "value chain here." By that he meant petro-chemicals and plastics.
"We're right on the cusp," he said. "We have the opportunity to do it right. The tech is out there ... the people in the chemical industry live here too ... and they have an interest."
He added that transportation provides supply-chain opportunities and "a potential to distribute products ... it doesn't get any better than that ..."
Salem Mayor John Berlin said the oil and gas boom is bringing renewed optimism to the area marketplace and interest in the Salem has increased.
The city is pursuing a grant to develop sewer services for more residents outside the city.

Twenty-five years after the first Ghost Walk, organizers still are finding new stories to tell.
The annual event organized by the Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County returns Friday for two weekends of strolls through some of the strange and haunting stories of Trumbull County's past.
According to Ghost Walk director Mark Klinger, this year's event will have a strong Civil War theme
''With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, we felt it was appropriate to have several stories related to it,'' he said.
Two of the new tales involve a Civil War veteran named Charlie Frease. In doing research on the people buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Klinger discovered that the cause of death for Frease was listed as ''whisky.''
''I had to look into it,'' Klinger said. ''I figured there had to be a story behind it. He was in the Civil War, involved in some of the major engagements, and then came home to an even more interesting life ... Barbara Root and I spent weeks in the genealogy room at the library on these stories.''
Fact Box
WHAT: Ghost Walk
WHEN: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Oct. 26-27
WHERE: Tours leave every 10 minutes starting at First Presbyterian Church, 256 Mahoning Ave. N.W., Warren.
HOW MUCH: $7 adults and $5 children ages 12 and younger. There is a $1 discount on tickets purchased in advance at Trumbull Art Gallery or online at TrumbullArts.org. The discount is available at the event with a Warren-Trumbull County Public Library card.
They also did additional research on the Sutliff family, who were strong abolitionists and whose home was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Organizers tried to provide a different perspective on some familiar segments. The story of a young girl scalped by Indians has been a frequently told tale on the Ghost Walks, and this year they added a new story about a maid defending a home during the Delaware Indian riots. But there's also a story that looks at the conflicts between the settlers and the Native Americans from the Native American perspective.
As they researched the accounts of Indian attacks, Klinger said there was evidence that the stories and the bodies counts were inflated and exaggerated as they passed from one person to the next.
''The truth in all of these stories between the Native Americans and the settlers was somewhere in between,'' he said. ''We had to show both sides of the story.''
The new tales will join old favorites, like Aunt Lizzie and the death of young Bish Perkins.
About 15 actors will recount the tales at the 10 stops around Mahoning Avenue N.W., and between 50 and 60 volunteer tour guides will work over the four nights. Tours will leave every 10 minutes from First Presbyterian Church with the last tour departing at 9 p.m. each night.
Klinger said he believes Ghost Walk has endured because it appeals to different audiences.
''No matter who you are, there's something about Ghost Walk that catches your attention,'' Klinger said. ''There's acting, there's history, and it does have some unique stories, these off-the-wall things.''

Fun summer treat Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality
I am not a fan of the typical summer "freezie" treat full of artificial flavours, colours and packed full of sugar. With these little silicone tube, its easy to make delicious frozen treats out of natural fruit juice. I blend fresh strawberries and blueberries with a little apple juice to make the best freezies ever!!Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
These wash great and are easy to use. The only down side is that they are a little expensive. I would like to have 3 or 4 sets of these in my freezer, but dropping $100 on popicles is a little hard to justify. (Posted on 7/24/10)
Fun way to make a nutritious snack Review by Suzy
Quality Price Value
This is a great product. It's so much better than the sugar laden Popsicles or freezies. I made some for my 21 month old with yogurt, kiwi and mixed berries. She loved them. Very easy to clean and use. (Posted on 3/24/13)

ROCHESTER — He came to the podium wearing a yellow hard hat. It's a tradition for the Canisius hockey team, a post-game award given to the player deemed the hardest worker of the night by his teammates.
Sophomore Tyler Wiseman had never worn the hard hat. He came into Friday's Atlantic Hockey semifinal with just nine points.
But in one of the biggest games in recent program history, Wiseman scored twice and set-up the game-winning goal as the Golden Griffins knocked out top-seeded and nationally ranked Niagara, 5-3, at Blue Cross Arena.
The Griffs will face Mercyhurst, which defeated Connecticut, 4-1, in the second semifinal, in the Atlantic Hockey Championship tonight (7, Time Warner Sports).
It was the seventh straight win for Canisius, its longest winning streak in the Division I era. The Griffs improved to 18-18-5 as their five-game losing streak in February seems like a distant memory.
"Right now I feel like I'm a passenger here and it's a heck of a fun ride," Canisius coach Dave Smith said. "The guys are having fun. The smiles are bigger. They're taller. Everything is bigger and brighter right now."
Niagara (23-9-5), meanwhile, goes back to Lewiston and must wait out the results from other conference tournaments and watch the computer PairWise rankings to see if they gain an at-large bid to the NCAA field of 16.
The Purple Eagles, ranked 14th in the latest national polls, took a 1-0 lead on a goal from Giancarlo Iuorio just 3:26 into the game. Niagara had a power-play opportunity a few minutes later, but Canisius, which has the second best penalty-killing unit in the country, kept it a one-goal game.
That gave the Griffs' top line time to get its legs. Kyle Gibbons passed from behind the back of the net to Patrick Sullivan who swung it to an open Cody Freeman for a beautiful, quick play that ended up tying the game.
Ben Danford tallied with just 39 seconds left in the first to give the Griffs a 2-1 lead after one period, setting the tone for a wild back-and-forth game.
Just 4:05 into the second, Hugo Turcotte banged in his own rebound to tie the game for Niagara. Just over four minutes later, Wiseman scored his first goal, tipping in a shot from Stephen Miller.
It didn't last long as Iuorio buried a shot in front of Canisius goalie Tony Capobianco to knot the game, 3-3, at 13:11 of the second.
But then Wiseman set up Duncan McKellar on the power play with just 20 seconds left in the period to give Canisius a 4-3 lead and momentum. Stephen Farrell hit Wiseman with a pass as they entered the Niagara zone. Wiseman redirected the puck over to McKellar, who was pinching down by the left faceoff circle and then fired the puck into a nearly empty net.
"Scoring the last two minutes of the period sets the tone for the period coming up," Wiseman said. "I talked to Duncan prior to that faceoff. We noticed earlier in the game that that was an open pass and I told him I was going to come to him with it. And that play worked out well."
It worked out and it set the tone for the third where Wiseman came out, went hard to the net, got a pass from Miller and scored for a 5-3 Canisius lead just 1:58 into the period.
Wiseman came into the game with just four goals and nine points. Playing on the third line, he hadn't had a point since registering two assists in the Griffs' 6-5 win at RIT.
"That's the thing with our team. We have depth," Gibbons said. "People might not see it, but we have a lot of good depth and [Wiseman] is one of those players for us. He works hard every day and to see him get rewarded is awesome. That's just how we are as a team.
"This is how it's evolved since halfway through the year when we were struggling. Now we're on this great run and the biggest difference you see is guys helping other guys. I know I talked to Tyler a few times and we kept encouraging him. To see it pay off for him is awesome."
Wiseman also got a few tips from his older brother, Chad, who plays for the Albany Devils of the AHL.
"He's 32 now and older and wiser. He's such an experienced player," Wiseman said. "Every summer I get to train with him. He passes his knowledge down to me. If I'm struggling or having a bad week or a bad practice, I go for him to advice."
While Niagara held a 44-29 advantage in shots, it went 0 for 4 on the power play.
It was the most goals allowed this season by Niagara goaltender and Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year Carsen Chubak.
"We're really disappointed," Chubak said. "I apologize to the school for our effort today. I didn't think that was the way it was going to turn out."
While Canisius prepares for its first championship game since going to the 1999 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference final (the league did not have an automatic bid that year) Niagara waits to see if they become the first team from Atlantic Hockey to notch an at-large bid.
"It's a tough time right now but when you cool down, the PairWise ... the computer system on how we pick the field, it is what it is," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said. "It's a measurement of your entire season and we've had a heck of a season. So if the computer says you've had a good season, you deserve to go, we'll regroup and hopefully the Niagara team that's a really fast, energetic, hungry team will be there."

FARMINGTON, W.Va. - Oak Glen coach Scott Wiley knew coming in what his team was up against.
The Bears had already suffered two defeats this season to North Marion and neither one was close.
On Wednesday, Oak Glen found the Huskies were fully ready for tournament play as they cruised to an 83-32 win over the visiting Bears in a West Virginia Region 1, Section 1 opener.
"We knew what we were up against," Wiley said. "They are just so deep. They just kept bringing in shooters. They almost had more three's than two's. They're big, they're physical. They're the total package."
The Huskies were hot from the floor as they connected on 12 from beyond the arc and were 11-of-16 from the free throw line.
Audia Bartlett led the way for North Marion with 20 points, while Megan Haller added 14 points and Shasta Pyles netted nine points.
Fact Box
OAK GLEN SCORING: Alex Arnott 2-0-4, Alyson Snow 0-0-0, Rhonda Stipec 0-0-0, Casey Patterson 1-0-3, Brie Evans 0-0-0, Logan Andrews 1-0-2, Kaitlyn Herstine 2-0-6, Tori Feicht 0-0-0, Vanessa Hissam 1-1-3, Karly Wiley 1-0-3, Jessica Stivason 5-1-11. TOTALS: 13, 2-10: 32.
NORTH MARION SCORING: Bartlett 7-2-20, Haller 5-2-14, Moscufo 2-1-5, Rodriguez 3-0-6, Singleton 3-0-6, Egress 2-0-6, Hess 1-4-6, Swiger 1-0-3, Wells 0-0-0, Watkins 3-1-7, Pyles 3-0-9, Sheets 0-1-1, Rhoades 0-0-0, White 0-0-0. TOTALS: 30, 11-16: 83.
Three-pointers: Oak Glen 4 (Herstine 2, Patterson, Wiley), North Marion 12 (Bartlett 4, Pyles 3, Haller 2, Egress 2, Swiger)
For Oak Glen, Jessica Stivason was the lone player to reach double figures with 11 points while also grabbing five rebounds.
Kaitlyn Herstine netted six points for the Bears, while Oak Glen's leading scorer Vanessa Hissam was held to just three points, 13 rebounds and three assists.
The Huskies opened a 25-5 lead after one quarter of play and went into the half with a 31-point advantage.
North Marion, which improves to 16-4 on the season including an 11-game winning streak, already had its way with Oak Glen twice this season. The Huskies defeated Oak Glen, 91-42, in New Manchester early in the season and won a 70-42 contest on Friday.
North Marion is one of three new members to the region this year along with Fairmont Senior and East Fairmont which joined Oak Glen and Weir. The Huskies now advance to play Fairmont Senior which has handed North Marion two of its four losses this season.
For the Bears, their season ends at 10-11.
"It's a lot tougher playing with these new teams in the region," Wiley said. "We've just got to keep plugging away and keep trying to get better."
With Oak Glen having only one senior on its roster, Casey Patterson, Wiley said he is optimistic going forward.
"I think the future is bright here," he said. "We had a lot of young players get some major playing time."

Globalization has become the cornerstone of our way of life in the 21st century—corporations, academic and financial institutions, governments, people, and entire economies throughout the world are linked at a multitude of levels: multinational governmental and NGO coordination; research, music, foods, cultures and profits are pursued and shared by citizens of every nation. We have indeed become a borderless world society. And one major result of the globalization phenomenon is the need for all of us — students, faculty, and staff — to be able to work and thrive in multicultural environments — in short, to become global citizens.
In furtherance of this end, the Office of International Programs and Services at ISU is committed to facilitating the research, travel, events and activities that support and promote the transformation of our respective constituencies into successful global citizens.
Fundamentally, IPS serves as an enabler for campus globalization efforts, working with other staff elements to either lead efforts toward this end or support the efforts of other staff activities.
IPS also works with several key constituencies both on campus and in the community to promote a broader global perspective and expand engagement. Specifically, we work with students, faculty, staff, and members of the community by facilitating opportunities to:

Maybe if those pieces were Yzerman and Lidstrom
Har har. Now if you'll turn your attention to the standings you notice that the wings are currently tied for third place in the Western Conference and have beaten every other ranked team below us (aside from Phoenix whom we haven't played yet). We've also taken Chicago to overtime twice in two of the tougher games they've played all season.
How is it that I'm having a hard time convincing people that we actually have a competitive team?
giving up nyquist or tatar and a high pick for someone as mediocre as ryder or any ufa would be a HUGE mistake
and samuelsson f*cken sucks and bert is getting old and always hurt there not gonna bring this team to the next level we'd be better off getting rid of one or both of them and letting the younger hungrier kids play fulltime
Read it again, I said Nyquist or Tatar and a pick would get someone better than Ryder, but I think a guy like Ryder would help...if he could be had more cheaply. I was just using him as an example of a winger (not converted center) who can finish plays when his centers set him up.

Film Studies Frequently Asked Questions
The Film Studies program at Westminster emphasizes Film Literacy and Scholarship. We study film as a rich language composed of pictures, movements, sounds, and words. Students receive a strong background in analyzing film and its relation to the arts, humanities and social sciences. The program emphasizes films' participation in their particular historical and political contexts, and includes attention to films from non-"western" cultures.
The program includes emphases on the uniqueness of film as well as its relations to other fields, so it is both a specific field of study and an interdisciplinary one. The faculty includes scholars from the arts, humanities and social sciences. Students are encouraged to foster film education in the wider community.
Film Literacy is an important component of Liberal Education because it includes so many art forms, including words, images, and music, relating them in its own rich and complex language.
Film has been an important component of world culture for over a century. It influences the arts, humanities, and social sciences, as well as playing an important role in social, political, and cultural developments.
Just as it is essential to read well in order to write well, it is necessary to read films in order to create them. A background in Film Literacy is a significant advantage for students interested in the production, business, or educational opportunities in film.
The minor in Film Studies is an ideal accompaniment to a major in any of the humanities, arts, or social sciences. It is also offered as an emphasis in the Arts Administration major, for students interested in the business of film.

On Sunday, the Paterno family released its long-awaited rebuttal to the Freeh report - the project commissioned by the Penn State University Board of Trustees to determine what exactly happened during the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Not surprisingly, the report - a compilation of reports by former Pa. Governor and U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh; former FBI profiler Jim Clemente; and Dr. Fred Berlin, physician, psychiatrist and psychologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Medicine - came to bat for the late coach Joe Paterno, basically absolving him of all wrongdoing and calling the Freeh report "fundamentally flawed" and "a failure."
At the same time, the Paterno report claims that it "sets the record straight" regarding what happened.
The Paterno report criticizes the Freeh report for being biased and for jumping to conclusions, but fails to acknowledge that it, too, is biased and jumps to conclusions - sometimes within the same paragraph.
The Paterno report says that former FBI director Louis Freeh didn't speak to many of the key people involved, but conveniently fails to mention the fact that it, too, does not include any record of interview with Paterno, former university president Graham Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley or former vice president Gary Schultz - Sandusky not withstanding, the four key people in the saga.
The Paterno report says "Unlike Mr. Freeh, we are hesitant to speculate about individual motives in this case and why his report drew such irresponsible conclusions" but then immediately begins to postulate theories as to why Freeh jumped to conclusions without knowing all the facts.
"We may never know if Mr. Freeh was motivated to pursue maximum publicity, to align his views with the media story line that had already been established, to satisfy a desire on the part of many who sought someone to blame in addition to Jerry Sandusky for the awful abuse of children, to justify a pre-conceived conclusion he reached in good faith but that he could support only by contorting 'evidence' that did not fit his theory, or something else," the report states.
This isn't to say that the Paterno report doesn't make some good points on its critique of the Freeh report - it does.
This isn't to say that the Freeh report is gospel - it isn't.
But let's make one thing clear. The Paterno report wasn't written to "set the record straight." It was commissioned by the Paterno family to restore the honor of Joe Paterno.
We many never know the full, unbiased account of what happened during Sandusky's reign of terror.
Both "The Rush To Injustice Regarding Joe Paterno," and the Freeh report were based on substantial limitations, most notably the lack of discussion with the key people. While we cannot see the recent publication as "setting the record straight," it does make some good points on its critique of the Freeh report.

"Sometimes it's a pain because my heels are so high and it would be really nice to have his arm," she says in September's Allure, available Aug. 20. "And he's such a great date! But it can be too much. I think especially for women, they can really lose their identity and just become 'wife of,' " she says.
But aside from Affleck being an Oscar-winning-actor-turned-director, Garner, 41, says becoming involved in politics may eventually be next for her husband.
Courtesy Allure
"Would I be surprised if one day he did go into politics? No. But not now," she says, adding that she supports the idea. "I'm along for the ride."
Even if Affleck opts for a major career change, Garner says she's focused on her role as mother to Violet, 7½, Seraphina, 4½, and Samuel, 17 months.
Growing up, Garner says she "had a baby doll tucked under my arm everywhere I went." Later, when she became a teenager, "my friend and I ran a babysitting service, C&J Babysitting. I think we made $2 an hour. If you'd said to me, 'You could be a mom or you could be anything else in the world,' I would have been a mom."

Hi Everybody :-)
Maths is the queen of the sciences.
Geometry is the queen of Maths.
Since 4 years I am designing Celtic-like motifs for crafts - knitting, filet crochet, cross-stitch embroidery, rug making etc. I strongly believe that Everyone can design the garment and knit it, so I decided to transpose my passion into the motifs, offering the decorations for these future unique projects. I would like to have the library of 1000 motifs, but I think, that only the cow doesn't change its mind ;-) - I already HAVE 1000, so maybe I will draw 2000? ;-)
Hope you'll like these motifs - hearts, crosses, diamonds, squares, snowflakes and panels, useful for the cabled sweaters.
I am 49, living currently in Poland, with one adult autistic son.
Professionally I am the teacher of Maths.
Our dream is to leave Poland and to go back to the country of Our Ancestors - to Scotland. Maybe when I'll be retired - it will pass through... ;-)
Celtic Squares is the biggest series of the patterns. Squares are very useful - you can repeat them and create the vertical or horizontal panels, you can use them as the afghan blocks, adding your preferred border. You can use them as the decorations of any garment.
Repeating vertically - you could knit the long and narrow scarf (adding the nice edge). Connecting vertical repeats with horizontal repeats - you can knit the beautiful wrap.
I organized my squares into the parts. Part I includes 50 designs.
In the file you'll find the additional charts for the repeats:
- vertical
- horizontal
- bidirectional
You can use them to cover the bigger area with the connected squares.
The dimensions of the ready square depend on the yarn used. So I decided to give the dimensions in rows and stitches: This way you can match the decoration to your actually knitted project.
Dimensions: 50 stitches x 72 rows

Doctoral Program:
Finance Concentration
Coordinator for Finance: Prof. Murali Jagannathan
The primary goal of the Ph.D. program is to train our students to become high-quality
academic researchers in finance. A significant part of the program requirements involve
pursuing and presenting original research, even during the first years of study. Below,
you will find a more complete description of typical course schedules and paper requirements.
Our current finance faculty members conduct empirical research that can be classified under two broad areas: Corporate Finance and Investments. Topics of research interest include Capital Structure, Payout Policy, Corporate Governance, Voting, Treasury Auctions, Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, Short-Selling, and Empirical Asset Pricing. The faculty have published articles in leading journals, such as the Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Political Economy, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Financial Management, Journal of Banking and Finance, Journal of Business, Journal of Money Credit and Banking, Management Science, Journal of Future Markets, and the Journal of Empirical Finance.
Typical Schedule for Finance Ph.D. Students
Prior to arrival, incoming finance Ph.D. students receive a syllabus to read on (a) MBA level finance topics: corporate finance, derivatives, investments, and fixed income, and (b) Introduction to research methods. A "Background Qualifying Exam" based on this material is administered as part of Fin 600 – Theory of Finance course.
Year 1:
First Semester: Theory of Finance (Fin 600), Capital Market Seminar (Fin 581a), Microeconomics (500), Econometric methods
Second Semester: Corporate Finance I (Fin 610), Microeconomic Theory I, Economic Statistics, Pedagogy
Research: Replicate a published empirical paper in Fin 581a
Exam: Background Qualifying Exam
Year 2:
First Semester: Topics in Investments (Fin 630), Microeconomic Theory II (612), Econometrics (616)
Second Semester: Corporate Finance II, Applied Econometrics (617), Elective
Research: Second Year Paper
Exams: Microeconomics field exam, finance qualifying exam
Year 3:
Research, dissertation proposal
Year 4:
1. At the present time, SOM provides funding support for a maximum of four years,
subject to making satisfactory progress. This funding support requires recipients
to work as a teaching/research assistant or teach courses, for 20 hours every week.
SOM policy does not permit funding recipients to take on any other work (paid or otherwise),
unless approved by the finance Ph.D. coordinator, the SOM Ph.D. program director,
and the SOM Dean. This includes fall, spring, and summer of every year. Failure to
abide by these rules may result in dismissal from the Ph.D. program. Additional SOM
and Binghamton University Graduate School guidelines may apply.
2. Satisfactory completion of the items in bold letters within the time frame is required for a student to be considered making satisfactory progress and hence is required for continuation in the program.
3. Background Qualifying Exam: Students have two chances to take the exam and get a passing grade by the end of first summer.
4. First Year Paper: Present to faculty by the end of first summer. The paper should have original work and not merely replicate prior work.
5. Micro Economics field exam: Administered by the Economics Department
6. Finance Qualifying Exam: Includes both a written test and the Second Year Paper. The exam will be administered at the end of the second year. Students have a second chances to take the exam and get a passing grade (independently pass both the written test and the Second Year Paper) by the fall semester of the third year.
7. Second Year Paper: Present a completed paper to faculty. This paper is part of the finance comprehensive exam and must be "journal ready" (i.e, be of a quality that can be submitted to a journal).

Quicken 2008 Home & Business vs. Quickbooks
Last night I had a flat tire and drove my donut-riding self over to Costco where they were able to plug the leak. (I love buying tires at Costco, especially now that they opened a store right by my house!) While they were fixing the leak, I had 45 minutes to kill and wandered around the warehouse. I meandered over to the tax section and picked up a copy of Quicken 2007 Home & Business. I've been meaning to get some sort of tax software package (Nickel raves about it and his 2304982039 years of data) and wasn't sure if I should go with Quicken 2008 or Quickbooks. I decided I would read reviews, install the Quickbooks Simple Start trial and then install Quicken 2007 to do a real comparison.
My Needs
A lot of people have sworn by personal finance management software like Quicken but I had never tried it for myself. The main reason is because I didn't want to spend money on software that would manage a process I already had a good handle on. Part of it was learning curve, part of it was me being cheap, but that all came to a head as I felt I needed some sort of accounting software for my side business.
Quickbooks is powerful. If you run a business with inventories, invoices, and the full "light" nine – Quickbooks blows Quicken away. Quickbooks has great reporting features and some niceties that Quicken simply wasn't designed for. For example, with Quickbooks you itemize all of your invoices and then all of your collections separately. If you perform work, you send out an invoice. When you receive a check, you record the collection (and this was just with their simplest package, Quickbooks Simple Start!). There are also a lot of great features behind the scenes such as the ability to export accounting versions and have that data sync back up after your accountant has worked with the books. Ultimately, Quickbooks is for the serious business owner looking to have a little more control over their books. If you're a serious serious business owner, you probably want to outsource your accounting (who knows, I'm not at that level in terms of accounting complexity so I'm not a good person to rely on for that recommendation).
Quicken is a personal finance management application first and accounting package second, even with the "Business" label. For my business, which has few invoices, no inventory, and a simple accounting structure, it's perfect. For our personal finances, it's great in that it has integration with nearly ever bank, company, or brokerage we work with (I have yet to find one it doesn't integrate with) so I no longer need to log into my accounts via the web, Quicken does it for me, downloads the data, and integrates it with all the other data.
Verdict: Quicken
With a simple business structure and a need for personal finance management, I felt that Quicken was the right version for me. It cost a mere $70 at Costco, which will be tax deductible, it was a discount compared to Amazon or Intuit.
I just published a list of Quicken 2009 discount codes that can save you some cash if you're looking to get the newest edition.
Why Not Online Versions?
I know the online versions are secure and I know sites like Mint.com are free, but I don't like the idea of having my data stored elsewhere. (Mint doesn't store anything, they leverage Yodlee, but the data is still floating around out there) Is this irrational? Perhaps, but I surrender little by leaving it locally on my hard drive.
I have yet to fully play with all the features Quicken provides but I hope to in the coming weeks (after the honeymoon). I know there are a lot of Quicken guru's out there so please share any tips or hacks you may have (like this one by Nickel on how he manages his various CDs), thanks!

The region first gained importance with the construction of the Lukmanier and Oberalp passes. The Oberalp Pass, leading to Andermatt at the foot of the Gotthard, is an ideal starting point for tours on foot or by bike – perhaps to the idyllic Tomasee lake which, among the various source tributaries, is considered the official source of the Anterior Rhine. This is where the "Veloland Schweiz" Rhine route begins.
Besides the source of the Rhine, the monastery in Disentis is another important feature. The monastery of St. Martin, founded in the 8th century, is one of the oldest Benedictine monasteries in Europe. Built in 1712, the Baroque collegiate church with its two onion-domed towers, rich stucco work and painted ceilings is one of the most important sacred buildings in Graubünden.
Water, mountains and summer skies: in the holiday region of Disentis Sedrun you can hike over green Alpine meadows, rest in cool alder groves and enjoy the scent of Alpine herbs and flowers by the wayside. There are lots of hiking tours that run through the impressive mountainscape of Graubünden, from pleasant family walks to demanding Alpine hikes. Mountaineers of all ages will feel right at home here. A special highlight is the hike to the Tomasee, the source of the Rhine.
More than 150 km of mountain bike routes along the Alpine passes are sure to delight every biker. Visitors looking for a fun adventure can try crystal hunting (known as "Strahlen") or panning for gold in the Upper Rhine. After an eventful day in the great outdoors, holidaymakers will enjoy an evening of regional delicacies served by friendly hosts. Dining options range from guild restaurants and Graubünden parlours to traditional "Bergbeizli" (mountain inns).
Disentis Sedrun attracts visitors with its two skiing areas and numerous facilities by the pistes. In total there are around 180 km of slopes to discover. Freeriders and ski tourers will find endless opportunities for enjoyment in Disentis at up to 3,000 m above sea level. The SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun is the perfect place for any skiing enthusiast. Thanks to a combined ski pass, the resorts of Andermatt, Sedrun and Disentis offer great skiing from flat beginner pistes to demanding downhill runs.
Away from the slopes there are varied winter hiking paths, almost 50 kilometres of cross-country ski trails and thrilling toboggan runs to enjoy. Those who prefer a slower pace can visit the cultural attractions including the Benedictine monastery in Disentis, or indulge in local delicacies on one of the many sun terraces. The Bogn Sedrun wellness spa is the perfect place to relax.
- Tomasee, source of the Rhine – the Oberalp Pass is the ideal starting point for the hike to the Tomasee, source of the Anterior Rhine and regarded as the official source of the Rhine.
- Panning for gold – the biggest nugget of gold in Switzerland was found in the Upper Rhine near Disentis. Visitors can book day or half-day excursions including gold panning equipment.
- Disentis Monastery – founded in about 720 AD, the Benedictine monastery is one of the oldest in Europe. Richly decorated Baroque collegiate church and monastery museum.
Top Events
- Surselva Marathon – cross-country skiing event in Sedrun (January).
- Trofea Pez Ault – ski mountaineering race in Disentis (March).
- La Cuorsa dil Rein – half-marathon in the disciplines of running and Nordic walking (June).
- ROCKseDRUN – music festival with free admission and a choice of refreshments (August).

Oops, something didn't work.
Nicely done. Really enjoyed this presentation. Not sure why I liked this presentation so much, other than my own intuition tells me so.
I think I've come up with a take-home from this, feedback appreciated:
There are two aspects to our thinking: rational and intuitive. Both are important; but both can be wrong. Sometimes we have to choose between them, and sometimes we judge wrongly. This is fundamentally why projects fail - individual humans making errors of judgement.
If you want to see how deep the problem runs consider this: most people blame project failure on process, despite the fact that rationally, we can all identify one individual who made the call which sunk the project. Why? Because *intuitively* we do not believe one (or more) individuals should be able to sink a whole team's project; but clearly this is an error of judgement, because they do all the time!
The decision to lay the blame for project failure at the door of process is in itself a failure to correctly value the rational evidence that people screw up, over the intuitive belief that projects should be immune to this.
Great talk!
Is there any way to get the "reading list handout"?
The video resolution is too bad for making out the name of the articles you are referencing to in the beginning :(
