Hempstead Turnpike was shut down between Clearmeadow Drive and Carman Avenue Tuesday morning due to a liquid oxygen tank leak outside of (NUMC).
According to East Meadow Fire Department officials, construction workers were doing a "controlled purge" of two 11,000-pound oxygen tanks outside of NUMC at around 10 a.m. when a valve prematurely blew off, causing the leak.
"The controlled purge then became an out-of-control purge," Chief Carl Pugliese said.
Homes on Clearmeadow Drive were evacuated as a precautionary measure, according to Pugliese, although residents have since been told that it is safe to return to their homes. People in NUMC's emergency room were also moved to the main area for a brief time.
"The oxygen tank was being replaced on the southeastern side of the NUMC campus," Shelley Lotenberg, director of public affairs at NUMC, said. "While working on the replacement, one of the valves broke, causing liquid oxygen to be discharged. We called the East Meadow Fire Department to assist us in handling the situation."
Nassau County Hazmat was called to the scene to assess the situation, and the leak was contained, officials said.
"The situation is under control as the leaking valve is being repaired," Lotenberg added. "We are not on diversion and there is no need to evacuate. There is no danger to patients, employees or visitors."
As of 11:45 a.m., Hempstead Turnpike was reopened in both directions.
This is a breaking news story, and Patch will have more information as it's made available.

Continued from page 1.
Friesan Fire had a troubled start in the Derby as the favorite which led to a disappointing 18th place finish, clearly not a sharp prep. Other than his poor start, he is usually within 2 lengths of the pace which qualified him as a front-runner and he did not win a stakes race as a 2-year-old. On the positive side he has run a triple digit Beyer, a 104 in the Louisiana Derby, is exiting the Kentucky Derby, has made 4 starts this year (the optimum range is 3 to 6), and lacks Professional points.
The next 2 horses scored equal points and are listed alphabetically:
Hull is undefeated in his 3 lifetime starts, all this year, capped off by a 4 length romp in the Derby Trial three weeks ago, which qualifies as a sharp prep within the correct layoff range, and he lacks Professional points. On the negative side his best Beyer is a 92, he did not run in the Derby, lacks any starts (let alone stakes wins) as a 2-year-old, and is always running up close to the pace.
Tone It Down is the local hope in the Preakness, exiting a 3rd place finish in the Federico Tesio Stakes at Pimlico, a sharp prep. He has made 5 starts this year, lacks Professional points, and is coming off a 2 week layoff. Not exiting the Derby is a knock, along with his lack of any stakes wins in his career, and his top Beyer of just 85 in a Laurel Park allowance race in April.
Big Drama is another new shooter in the Triple Crown wars, coming to Baltimore off a front-running victory in the Swale Stakes at Gulfstream Park back on March 28. Although this is a sharp prep and earned a 108 Beyer it is a negative as this is a 7 week layoff (the maximum layoff is 30 days). He only has made the 1 start this year, and does have points in the Professional wing, both negatives. He did, however, have four stakes wins as a juvenile, 3 against state-breds at Calder followed by the Delta Jackpot.
The last 3 horses scored equal points and are listed alphabetically:
Flying Private finished last of 19 in the Kentucky Derby, showing he clearly did not belong there. He doesn't belong in the Preakness either. He has made 7 starts this year, which is too many statistically, has no stakes wins (in fact has not won a race since last August), has a top Beyer of 94 from the Lane's End Stakes, and he has Professional points. Other than prepping in the Kentucky Derby, his other two positives include coming off the correct layoff (2 weeks) and an ability to stalk or rally.
Take the Points could have gone in the Kentucky Derby but his connections opted to wait for the Preakness. His long layoff of 6 weeks from the Santa Anita Derby is a negative, as are his top Beyer of 99 in an allowance at Gulfstream, his lack of stakes wins lifetime, his Professional points, and the fact he skipped the Derby. On the positive side his fourth place effort in the Santa Anita Derby qualifies as a sharp prep since he was only beaten 2 3/4 lengths by Pioneerof the Nile, he can stalk the pace, and he has 3 starts this year.
Terrain exits a fourth place finish in the Blue Grass Stakes beaten 3 3/4 lengths by General Quarters, earning him a sharp prep. He rallies from off the pace and has a stakes win last year, in the Mountaineer Juvenile Stakes. Among his many negatives, he did not run in the Derby, he has just 2 starts this year, did not win a stakes this year, is coming off a 5 week layoff, has a top Beyer of 91 in the Louisiana Derby, and has points in the Professional wing.

Oklahoma City —
No. 10 Texas Tech (7-0, 4-0 Big 12)
at No. 17 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1), 3:30 p.m. (FOX)
Line: Oklahoma by 6 1/2.
Series Record: Oklahoma leads 14-6.
Texas Tech has shot to the top of the Big 12 under first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury, though Saturday will mark its most difficult test so far. The Red Raiders, who are 1-6 in Norman against Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, begin a difficult four-week stretch against the Sooners — who hope to jump back into the conference title race with a win.
Oklahoma's secondary vs. Texas Tech quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Davis Webb. The Sooners lead the country in pass defense — allowing an average of 149.7 yards per game. Mayfield and Webb, meanwhile, lead a Raiders' offense that is second in passing offense with an average of 416.4 yards per game through the air.
Texas Tech: QBs Mayfield and Webb. Mayfield was the starter for Texas Tech's high-powered offense before a knee injury on Oct. 5 against Kansas sidelined him. The freshman has completed 132 of 201 passes (65.7 percent) for 1,488 yards this season. Since then, Webb — also a freshman — has stepped in and not missed a beat, throwing for 462 yards in last week's come-from-behind win over West Virginia. Kingsbury has declined to name a starter against the Sooners.
Oklahoma: CB Aaron Colvin. One of the nation's best defensive backs, he has 32 tackles, five behind the line of scrimmage, and has broken up three passes. He might see duty on Red Raiders TE Jace Amaro.
Stoops, with a 155-38 record at Oklahoma, is three wins away from passing former Sooners coach Barry Switzer for the most coaching victories in school history ... Stoops is 15-2 at home against ranked opponents ... The only other ranked team Texas Tech has faced this season was then-No. 24 TCU on Sept. 12 ... Red Raiders TE Jace Amaro leads the Big 12 with an average of 8 catches per game. The junior has 56 catches for 861 yards this season, including a 9-catch, 136-yard effort last week.
No. 19 Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten)
at Iowa State (1-5, 0-3); 11 a.m. (FSN)
Series record: Oklahoma State leads 26-18-3.
Line: Oklahoma State by 13.
Oklahoma State need to win to keep pace with Texas Tech, Texas and Baylor, all of whom enter the weekend unbeaten in the Big 12. The Cyclones have to win five of their last six games to be bowl eligible for the fourth time under coach Paul Rhoads.
Iowa State's defensive line vs. Oklahoma State's offensive line. The Cowboys haven't announced whether J.W Walsh or Clint Chelf will start at quarterback, but neither of them will be very effective if the line can't protect them. Iowa State hasn't been great at getting at the quarterback though, with just 10 sacks through six games.
Oklahoma State: WR Josh Stewart. He had 265 yards in last week's win over TCU, including a 95-yard punt return for a score. Stewart's prowess as a returner could help spark Oklahoma State's offense, which struggled against the Horned Frogs.
Iowa State: QB Sam Richardson. He was pulled for the first time in last week's 71-7 loss to Baylor. Richardson will start against the Cowboys, but a rough showing could quickly land him back on the bench.
Oklahoma State, which has ranked in the top three nationally in scoring every year since 2010, has scored 24 points or less three times in six games...Iowa State is last in the Big 12 in scoring defense at 36.7 points a game after allowing 113 points in its last two outings ... Oklahoma State would be bowl eligible for the eighth year in a row if it beats Iowa State ... Four of Iowa State's five losses were by eight points or less.

NSA Releases Documents Showing It Spied On Americans
Spy agency began email surveillance program in 2008, reported it to oversight court in 2011.
Despite denials from government officials, documents reveal a domestic spying program that has been in place for years.
In the wake of leaked documents that have drawn massive scrutiny from the American public over domestic wiretapping, the top intelligence office has declassified three documents to, as one senior official says, "get a sense of the really effective self-policing that goes on at the NSA."
[READ: Review Board Drives NSA Activities Further Into the Dark]
The three court opinions appeared on a new website, IContheRecord.tumblr.com, which says on its homepage was created at the direction of President Barack Obama to offer great transparency on the Intelligence Community. The documents outline the actions taken by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court – a secretive body designed to monitor intelligence gathering – following reports that the NSA was inadvertently collecting communications made by Americans within the U.S.
A senior government official said Wednesday the NSA began in 2008 collecting information on Americans without any link to terrorist activities. It revealed the program to the FISA court in 2011, when it ordered the NSA to end the practice. The official spoke with reporters on the condition of anonymity.
The court ordered NSA to "beef up" its technology to avoid the inadvertent collection of information, and limited the amount of time it could retain what it calls "upstream collection" from five years to two.
This kind of intelligence gathering, authorized under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, involves intelligence agencies searching communications for specific email addresses of people connected with suspected terrorist activity.
[BROWSE: Editorial Cartoons on the NSA]
The NSA's technology could grab screenshots of an email inbox where these specific addresses appeared. In these screenshots, other emails could show up, including an American with no known terrorist activity corresponding with another American.
"That's the critical aspect of the problem here," the official said of what the NSA calls "multi-communication transaction," and is illegal under Section 702.
The NSA discovered this and brought it to the court's attention in 2011. The court ordered the NSA to improve its intelligence gathering infrastructure to limit what it is able to collect.
The newly released documents come a day after a Wall Street Journal report that the NSA spies on as much as 75 percent of all U.S. Internet traffic.

This "Synthesis" report offers an overview of the key findings
from five years of research into the relationship between Transportation and
Regional Growth. The study's sponsors see this body of research as a springboard
for a wider public discussion about the policy alternatives facing this region.
These research findings and implications should stimulate fresh coverage of
the issues by the media and a better-informed debate among elected and appointed
public officials at all levels. Advocacy groups will find no silver bullets
with which to arm their push for preferred solutions, but every group interested
in better transportation and land-use policy will find a body of facts and
analysis that will change the way the region considers its future choices.
This publications serves as a starting point for that discussion.

About University Studies
Faculty Resources
University College Home
Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions are weekly review sessions for students enrolled in historically difficult courses. SI targets tough courses!
SI provides a chance for you to get together with people in your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and to test yourselves before your professor does, so that when he/she does, you'll be ready.
SI is provided for all students who want to improve their understanding of course material and improve their grades. A trained SI leader facilitates the sessions.
Have you ever wished you could do something over, knowing what you know now? That's impossible, but you can come close in SI. SI leaders are students themselves who have taken the class before and earned a high grade. They are prepared to share with you what they have learned about how to study effectively for this course. They know the course content and are excited to help guide you through it. They'll also be in class with you every day, taking notes and listening closely to the professor.
At each session you will be guided through course concepts by your SI leader, a competent student who has previously taken the course and been trained in group facilitation techniques.
Your leader will not re-lecture or give you his/her class notes. Your leader will not do your homework or your thinking for you.
Your leader will help you make good use of your study time. After all, you have to study anyway. You might as well do it with friends so that you can share your knowledge and figure things out together, right? Your leader will share with you the strategies he/she used to be successful in the course. Your leader's job is to help you think about the lectures you hear and the books you read, and then put it all together into some kind of perspective during SI sessions so you can learn it more efficiently.
If you attend SI sessions regularly, chances are you'll earn a better grade. Research shows that students who attend SI sessions regularly average one half to one full letter grade higher than their classmates who choose not to attend. When you attend SI, you'll develop a better understanding of course content as well as more effective ways of studying. Hopefully, you'll make a few new friends, too!
SI sessions start the first or second week of classes. The only thing the SI leader is waiting for is knowing when you're available. The survey you fill out on the first day of class asks for your schedule. The SI leader will look at the schedule and find times that work for you. Remember, the secret of success is to study proactively! Don't wait until the night before the test!! Since you have to study anyway, why not come to SI and make efficient use of your study time? Your SI leader will keep you informed about the times and locations for sessions.
What does it Cost?
SI costs you nothing except your time. Assistance is free! Come as often as you like. Keep in mind, though, the statistics show that the more you come, the better your grade.
On the first day of class your SI leader will make an announcement about SI. You will fill out a short survey to let the SI leader know your class schedule. Please bring your official schedule of classes with you to the first class period so you will be able to complete the survey accurately. Each SI leader will set up three or more review sessions a week at times that are best for the majority of you. You can attend one, two, or all three sessions. And each one will be different because you'll have new material to discuss. SI sessions are informal. Bring your notes; bring your textbook; bring your questions.
Does it work?
Review the numbers for yourself.
Together we can make a difference.
If you have any questions about Supplemental Instruction,
please contact Ms. Fiona Brantley.

USPTO Changes Patent Reissue Practice
USPTO Updates Patent Reissue Practice to be Consistent with In re Tanaka
The USPTO has now issued a Notice entitled "Clarification of Criteria for Reissue Error in View of In re Tanaka."
As a reminder, Ex parte Tanaka was decided in December of 2009 by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI). In their decision, the Board explained that a reissue application was improper where the only defect identified in an issued patent was the failure to present additional dependent claims. The Board reasoned that the mere addition of new dependent claims did not identify any defect in the issued patent. The Board rejected the reasoning of In re Handel, which indicated that a failure to pursue dependent claims was an appropriate error in patent reissue. The Board characterized this reasoning as "dicta."
The Board's decision was reversed by the CAFC (In re Tanaka here). In their reversal, the CAFC explained that contrary to the Board's position, the In re Handel dicta is consistent with the patent reissue statute, and the court has not departed from this line of reasoning over the years.
In order to account for the decision of the CAFC, the USPTO Notice provides: Read the rest of this entry »

I love Redd
I just wanted to share how happy I am to have gone to Redd this past weekend. Everything about it was amazing! We were in the Napa area for my husband's 30th. We got to start... the pork belly and beet salad - both impeccable! For our entrees we share the Alaskan halibut and the NY steak and shortribs -- fantastic! Finally, for dessert, we got the mango, coconut sorbets with the lime granita. We loved it here and will come back!
Congrats! Redd is probably overall our favorite restaurant in the area. We think it has the best tasting menus out there for the price (and the place isn't full of itself either) even if they don't try to go out too far out on a limb. The soy glazed pork belly is probably my wife's favorite appetizer in the area.
re: napaeats
Yes! The pork belly is like candy! So sweet and salty at the same time. And whenever beet salad in on the menu, I HAVE to get it! Next time we're there, we'll have to do the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Honestly, I think one of the best things about this place is the atmosphere... really nice without being pretentious. I love it there!

Question: Was Elvis a Racist?
Answer: For several decades a rumor has persisted that Elvis Presley once said, "The only thing Negroes can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes." The very fact that the rumor has persisted for so long is, for some people, proof of the accuracy of the claim. Nevertheless, it has been concluded that Elvis almost certainly never made such a statement.
- First, it was reported that Elvis made the statement while in Boston. However, the singer had never been to Boston at that point.
- It was also claimed that Elvis made the statement on a t.v. show -- but Elvis never appeared on that particular show.
- The first time the rumor ever appeared in print, it was cited as a rumor.
- Jet magazine investigated the rumor in 1957 and found it to be false.
- Many black friends and associates of Elvis came to the singer's defense, maintaining that he never would have made such a remark.

Hi, my name is Michael and I am a high school student in Oakland, California.
Lots of people have been posting their inventive ways to recycle used items, all clever and thanks to those for sharing. I might try some of those. However, let's face it: the number of different things you can do with items instead of throwing them away or recycling them is infinite. As kids, this imaginative limit was so high that if any item was not a toy, we would make it become a toy or accessory. For me, this was turning wrapping paper tubes into lightsabers, socks into baseballs, bed sheets into capes, etc.
Then the dark ages finally came when our parents tell us that shockingly, we cannot keep every single object we come to possess out of this imagination; we must return it to its original use or get rid of it completely. And so, the great dilemma of throwing away or recycling begins. As this is so much easier than being creative, some of us lose our creativity and doom objects to the dumpsters as the easy way out. With more and more people, this loss of childhood imagination is adding up to lots of pollution, so its time to reuse and recycle some of the toys that adults play with the most: cars.
This article was published eight years ago, but looked ahead at its time to 2015. The significance of this year marks the arrival of a new mandate for European and Japanese car makers to manufacture their cars so that 95% of them can be recycled or reused, and not doomed to the piles of car heaven. The article states that every year in America alone, 10 million cars get scrapped, but if 100% of those cars are 95% recyclable, that number would basically reduce to 500,000 cars instead, a very significant leap. While this may not include imagination, it sure is effective, and in the grand scheme of things, that is what truly counts. If only American auto makers would commit to do the same.

Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will be among the headliners at this year's AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival.
Organizers on Monday announced the lineup for the annual event, scheduled for Aug. 2-4 at Johnstown's Festival Park off Johns Street.
"We're delighted to be able to announce so much of our lineup this far in advance," said Todd Wagner, festival chairman, noting that more lineup announcements are still to come.
"Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and Robert Randolph & the Family Band are tremendous headliners. It's going to be a great year for the festival."
Grammy-nominated Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue hails from the Treme neighborhood in New Orleans' 6th Ward, getting his nickname at 4 years old when he was observed by his older brother, James, marching in a street parade wielding a trombone twice as long as the kid was high. His 2010 debut album, "Backatown," garnered a Grammy nomination. He's toured with Jeff Beck, Dave Matthews and Lenny Kravitz.
Robert Randolph is a pedal steel guitar virtuoso who started playing and touring around New York City in 2000 and attracted immediate attention. In 2006, the band toured with Eric Clapton.
It will be the third year for the reformatted festival formerly known as FolkFest. Last year, as part of a renewed emphasis on musical performances, producer Johnstown Area Heritage Association changed the event's name and date.
"AmeriServ is proud to be the title sponsor of the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival year after year," said Glenn Wilson, AmeriServ president and CEO. "We're always looking for ways to enrich our community to help it prosper. And our employees really enjoy volunteering for this event."
Among the acts confirmed for this year's festival are several outstanding artists:
Greensky Bluegrass, a quintet from Michigan, has a reputation for throwing a great party.
"Greensky is a real up-and-comer in the music industry," Wagner said.
This quintet from Michigan has been playing festivals, clubs and theaters across America for 11 years, playing nearly 175 shows per year.
Last playing the festival in 2011, The West Virginia-based mountain funk band 600 Lbs. of Sin returns.
Also returning is Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds, who played at the festival in 2011 and at a Flood City Music Summer Concert last year.
"We are welcoming back Cait Cuneo, who people discovered when she was the former lead singer for Black Coffee," Wagner said.
Many more lineup announcements are expected, but as of Monday other confirmed acts include:
• Bastard Bearded Irishmen (Celtic rock)
• Chuck Prophet & the Mission Express (blues)
• Derek Woodz Band (jam band)
• Maddie Georgi Band (folk)
• Stephen Kellogg (roots Americana)
• Midnight Drive (bluegrass)
• Old E Allstars (roots music)
• The Pawnbrokers (roots)
• Rubblebucket (indie)
• Rumpke Mountain Boys (bluegrass)
• Sol Driven Train (indie)
• Snarky Puppy (jazz fusion)
• Spirit Family Reunion (artistic Americana)
• Tiger Maple String Band (bluegrass)
• The Weedrags (bluegrass)
• Well-Strung (bluegrass)
"We still have six to eight slots that we will be filling prior to the festival," Wagner said.
"We are waiting for groups to make a commitment, but we have time."
The festival will expand its schedule on Aug 2 (Friday), with music beginning in the early afternoon, and close earlier on Sunday.
"We think starting and ending earlier is a better fit for what our crowds want," Wagner said. "We want to bring in a lot of people into the city early so they can enjoy the best of Johnstown."
Three-day packages and passes are now on sale at www.floodcitymusic.com.
Early-bird pricing includes a VIP package at $100 ($108.75 with handling included); last year's prices were $110 for Gold, $90 for Silver. The Oilhouse Pass is $50 ($54.50 with handling) which is the same price as 2012. Weekend passes are $40, also the same as 2012 ($44 with handling included).
Prices go up on July 1.
Single-day tickets will be sold in advance beginning July 1. They will be $22.75 for Aug. 2-3 and and $11.75 for Aug. 4.

When shopping for a good bed skirt avoid one with a flimsy center fabric which could easily rip when being handled. Also, when making the bed, the bed skirt should be adjusted so it will hang evenly around the bed frame.
Suggested Products:
The bed skirts used at the Westin cost $140 - $190 for a queen size with an 18-inch drop.
Our choice is a poplin ruffled 18-inch bed skirt for under $21.

Moms Urge Gun Control, Background Checks With Cow Costumes
Members of MomsRising.org will urge Senators for gun control legislation by dressing as cows.
Families will urge Senators for gun control legislation by dressing as cows July 9.
Members of grassroots organization MomsRising.org and their children will deliver constituent messages, toy cows and key chains that read, "Don't be cowed by the gun lobby! Let's get moooving on gun safety legislation," to Senate offices at 10:30 a.m.
In anticipation of upcoming votes on gun legislation, MomsRising is urging Senators "to put aside their fear of the [National Rifle Association's] leadership and its allies and stand up for the safety of families and communities."
The organization points to the Newtown, Conn. inspired Manchin-Toomey bill – a bipartisan effort to expand background checks for firearm purchases at gun shows and online that failed by five votes in April – as an example of NRA bullying. The leadership of the NRA and their allies pressured Senators to oppose the bill despite 90 percent of the public supporting the effort, it claims.
[READ: New Gun Rights Group Wants to be Nonpartisan Alternative to the NRA]
The group is advocating "common sense gun laws" such as stronger background checks for gun purchases, restrictions on military-style guns and high-caliber magazines and severe federal penalties for interstate and international gun trafficking.
"After the December 14 Sandy Hook tragedy thousands of our members contacted us and asked us to get involved from all over the county," MomsRising.org Executive Director and co-founder Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner told Whispers. "MomsRising has over a million members, and our members are touched by the daily gun violence epidemic that is in our nation right now, with more than 30 people being murdered by guns each day. Moms have really had enough with worrying about whether it's safe to drop their kids off at school, at a park, [or] at a movie theater and want responsible gun policy."
MomsRising.org is an online grassroots organization established in 2006. It works for paid family leave, flexible work options, affordable childcare and an end to wage and hiring discrimination of mothers. It also advocates for health care for all, toxic-free environments and breast-feeding rights.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
It's being called good news for Boeing and for Wichita. On Tuesday Air Tran confirmed an order to buy 100 737s. The deal is the largest placed by a domestic carrier this year, and could be worth six billion to Boeing.
Boeing Wichita workers build most of the fuselage for the 737. The orders will firm up employment, but it won't necessarily mean new jobs. "These airplanes have already been placed into the production mix. They were figured into the mix already," said Boeing spokesman Dick Zeigler.
AirTran eyed the 737 model because it flies longer and farther than its current fleet of 717s. AirTran also placed an order to ten more 717s.
The first aircraft delivery is scheduled for next summer.

President's Award for Excellence in Teaching
Article Body
I am pleased to announce that William R. Brice, Ph.D., Professor of Geology, has been selected to receive the 2003-2004 President's Award for Excellence in Teaching. He will be presented with the Award during Commencement on May 1.
Dr. Brice joined the Natural Sciences Division in 1971 as Assistant Professor of Geology and Planetary Sciences. Bill is recognized as an accomplished teacher and has earned the respect of colleagues and students. He has developed a national reputation as a researcher and is an active member of the Geological Society of America.
Dr. Brice's former students may now be found in professional positions across the nation, pursuing work in geology and related fields with a passion for knowledge and a commitment to science that was instilled in them as undergraduates in Bill's classroom and laboratory. Many of his students, from recent graduates to those who studied with Dr. Brice years ago, remain in contact with him, anxious to relate their achievements, to seek his advice, and to draw inspiration and motivation from his mentorship. His devotion to the field of Geology has won the admiration of colleagues from across the nation and beyond. As a teacher, researcher, colleague, and role model, Dr. Brice is regarded as intellectually spirited, challenging, enthusiastic and loyal. His evaluations over the years have always underscored his dedication to the process of learning, and to the importance of the academic experience.
Dr. Brice routinely seeks opportunities to provide meaningful experiences for his students, underscoring his devotion to the learning process in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the field. He challenges his students to craft their scientific inquiries carefully, whether related to class work or research, to think critically, and to formulate nontraditional approaches to analysis. Through open dialogue and an insistence for excellence, he has prepared students for the global environment in which they will be employed.
He has served as a Visiting Professor at Cornell University each summer since 1976. In 1987 he was named an Associate in the University of Pittsburgh Center for the Philosophy of Science. In 1978 he served as Visiting Professor at Tasmanian College of Advanced Education, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
Dr. Brice earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida and both the Master of Science and Ph.D. from Cornell University.

2013: Should put his one year of college experience to work immediately as a starting defender on the right side…has worked very hard at refining his game and it shows with better ball possession, composure under pressure, and moving the ball forward…off-season workouts have made him stronger, quicker, and more physical…could also see action as a center defender, too.
2012: First-year defender played in 18 of the squad's 19 games, making one start…his only point of the campaign came on an assist to Austin Michelson's game-winning goal vs. La Sierra on 9/21/12.
Hart HS: A two-year varsity athlete and starter for the Indians, he was part of a pair of playoff squads, one of which reached the CIF Southern Section Division III quarterfinals in 2011, the best finish for the program since 1983…posted four goals and six assists in his senior year when the Indians went 15-3-2 and qualified for the postseason…was rewarded with first-team All-Foothill League honors and All-Santa Clarita Valley second-team kudos.

This weekend's storm is obviously good news for local ski resorts and everyone who is anxious to hit the slopes.
It comes right alongside a big event for some skiers and snowboarders, as Bobofest gets underway, tonight at 6pm.
Tickets are $6 for children, under the age of 12, and $12 for adults.
The highlight of the event is Warren Miller's newest movie, "Flow State".
It features skiers and boarders, from all around the world, showing off their skills, including some locals like Toby Miller, from Lake Tahoe.
"I've seen the movies, over the years, and it was just amazing to be a part of it," Miller said. "Those guys are awesome."
One goal of the event is to teach about 75 disadvantaged kids how to ski, that otherwise wouldn't get the chance.
"I think they'll absolutely love it," Miller said. "I think it will be a life experience. Once I started, I never stopped. I hope they're the same."
Bobo's is teaming up with Sky Tavern to make it all happen.
"We like to be a part of the community," Bobo's Manager Pat Parraguirre said. "The community has been good to us, so it's our way of giving back to the community. So, it's really important to us but it's more important for those kids to have a good first experience on the mountain."
The event couldn't come at a better time.
Kirkwood and Squaw Valley just opened today, joining 3 others that are already up and running for the season.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm," Parraguirre said. "People are coming in. They're saying that the conditions, this early, are pretty darn good out there."
"It's like a six month long holiday for them," Bobo's Technician Moose Hacili said.
A holiday many have been looking forward to since the resorts closed for the summer.
"Being up high again, being up at altitudes, seeing white snow and seeing the valley from a different perspective," Gardnerville resident Roger Rogalski said.
Many people are getting their gear ready, bringing a business boost to places like Bobo's Mogul Mouse.
They are coming in for wax, tune-ups, or to buy new equipment.
RANDY "I've been skiing on boots that are about 6-7 years old. I like the flex, I like the softness, but they're just worn down."
But getting ready for the ski season means more than just getting your equipment ready.
"Don't forget protective clothing," Hacili said. "Every year, someone comes out with a new type of fabric, a new way of staying warm and dry. It's really important that you maintain dryness."

A photo of the first, and now deceased suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing -- Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- has emerged on the Internet via the popular social sharing site Reddit. The image was posted by user nfieldflyer on Friday, under the title "Suspect #1 ... in the morgue. NSFW."
nfieldflyer claims the photo was obtained by a "friend" who works downtown. Typical for images posted to reddit, image itself is being hosted on imgur.
We will not be posting the photo directly here, but it can be viewed here (note: extremely graphic and may be upsetting to many).
As far as the image's authenticity, law enforcement sources have confirmed toTMZ that the image is real. One source told the site that authorities are investigating to determine who leaked the photo.
At one point, the image even managed to break through and reach the front page of reddit, but apparently was pushed off.
For those who want details, but do not want to view the image, the picture shows the corpse of the 26-year-old terrorist, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, lying on what appears to be a morgue table.
Mutiple bullet wounds can be seen, as well as a large gash along the left side of his chest in the area of his rib cage. That could be where the IED exploded (there have been reports that Tsarnaev set off an IED).
The body is covered in blood, particularly on his face. His mouth and both eyes are wide open.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police in Watertown, Mass. early Friday morning. His 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is still on the run.

Can't Catch, Won't Catch - England's dream is almost over already
10:22am Tuesday 15th June 2010 in The Weatherman By The Weatherman
Saturday night, England v USA, and it was England's World Cup encapsulated in 45 minutes.
A brilliant start and a goal. Hopes go through the ceiling and the whole country thinks we can win it.
In fact, expectations were so high of England romping to victory, some people even started suggesting Andy Murray could win Wimbledon.
However, after about 20 minutes, although we were still winning, there was a creeping realisation that things weren't necessarily going as smootly as they should.
Then it hit you, the sudden realisation that we're actually a bit rubbish and we should just go home.
In this case, the startling discovery that our keeper can't catch, our defence is injured or slow, and Emile Heskey is still no good.
Expect a bright start, a decent run to the Quarters, and an ignominious exit.

TICONDEROGA - Ticonderoga Middle School seventh grade students learned about and viewed the art and the artists at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls recently.
In small groups, the students spent 45 minutes touring the house and collection with a French or Spanish speaking docent. The docents spoke about the stories surrounding the collection, the house and the Hyde family and answered questions from the students on any of those topics.
When not on tour, the students worked on an art project, depending on if they were on the Spanish or French tour.
The Spanish groups illustrated an Aztec or Mayan story that their teacher, Heather York, taught the day before the trip.
The French groups painted an original picture using pointillism, a technique created by French painter Georges Seurat. The French students, taught by Kari Millard, learned about Georges Seurat and other artists featured at The Hyde Collection the week of the trip.

US: Unruly traveler had worked at State Department
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A State Department spokeswoman says a man who ranted about national security and repeatedly screamed "I'm dead" during a flight from Hong Kong to New Jersey once worked at the agency.
The spokeswoman said Tuesday in Washington that the passenger ended his time at the department in 2006. She gave no details about his job or why he no longer works for the agency.
The man started screaming nine hours into Monday's 15-hour flight to Newark Liberty Airport. At one point, a passenger says, the man claimed people were trying to poison him. Passengers helped subdue him.
Passengers say the man was clearly not stable. The FBI says he was hospitalized after being taken off the plane.

Freezing overnight temperatures will continue in many parts of the Bay Area early this week before a slight warming trend begins Wednesday, a National Weather Service forecaster said.
After Wednesday, temperatures are expected to return to normal for this time of year, which usually sees lows in the 40s -- rather than in the 20s and 30s as seen in the past few days, forecaster Steve Anderson said.
"It's not warm, but warmer," Anderson said of the approaching weather system.
Many areas, including in the North Bay, the Santa Clara Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains, have been experiencing freezing and below-freezing
temperatures overnight.
Temperatures in Scotts Valley on Monday are expected to drop to around 41 degrees during the day, according to weather.com. The temperature at noon was 48 degrees with sunny weather.
Temperatures will be in the low 30s during the night, reaching a low of 31 degrees at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
The next seven days should be dry, Anderson said. This weekend will see some areas breaking into the 60s, he said.

Comments about Alora Ambiance Air Freshener Set, Festa, 8 fl oz:
I just tried this brand (in Uno) for the first time. It's nice not to have to remember to blow out a candle and to have a continuous fragrance. This Festa is the most beautiful holiday scent. It reminds me of a pomander ball. I had to buy it somewhere else because it was out of stock and I didn't want to wait. Stock up - this makes a great impromptu hostess/party gift.

The new Digi-Ep is out there, and folks seem to like it - got someone wanting to play a tune off it on his reggae radio show in Chicago (Echo Beach, WLUW-FM) this weekend. I sent him a link to an mp3 and he's away. Boom!
Had a few people asking me if it was going to be available at Conch Records. The answer - why yes, it is - limited run of CDs, see here... Link.
Off to chat with me old mate Wallace Chapman on his show on KiwiFM, on air about 530pm.
Moody Boyz remix of new Roots Manuva tune. You liked that Lee Perry/Moody Boyz remix? Check this. (15mb) Heavy, heavy, monsta sounds.
This series sounds cool. "Strut Records kicks off its new series of artist pairings, Inspiration Information. Sly and Robbie with Amp Fiddler are first up, with releases to follow from Mulatu Astatke and The Heliocentrics, as well as Ashley Beedle and Horace Andy.
Inspiration Information is a heavyweight soundclash between Detroit soul maverick Amp Fiddler and reggae legends, Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare.
Arriving at Anchor Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, armed only with a handful of acoustic vocal ideas, Amp and the Riddim Twins recorded the album in just three days during June with overdubs laid down a week later in Detroit.
Within the sessions, the trio also revisited select tracks from Amp's Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly album, giving them a full Jamaican makeover. To complete the Island connections, the album is currently being mixed by another original studio regular, Godwin Logie."

"In yesterday's episode of RWW Live, our live podcast show, our topic was online music and we had 3 very special guests on the show: Dalton Caldwell, founder and CEO of Imeem; Lucas Gonze, founder of Webjay and until recently a senior member of the Yahoo Music team; and Rob Williams, Senior VP of Music Software at RealNetworks." Readwriteweb Link.
Check out the Morning Steppa on Radio KFM's breakfast show this morning - I'm doing an interview with him at 9am or thereabouts (listen online here) about the new Dub Asylum EP, and later, I'll be on Radio 95 BFM with Andrew Manning on Freak The Sheep, round 9.15pm (listen here).
Had a few folk mention they can't get at Msypace or it doesn't work for them, so I've put the Ba Ba Boom! EP up on Last.fm to preview it. Listen here. Let me know if that works. Sweet! Also sorting out Imeem - anyone up with that one? Tips? Got a playlist with the new EP up there too, listen here. Righto.

Not only is today the release date for my new EP, it's also the fifth anniversary of my blog, which started out with a review of a night out at the hairdressers awards. So, yay me.
Over time, this has evolved from a blog about random stuff into a music blog, which I think gives it some much-needed focus. I've just started a new blog, over here on tumblr, partly cos it's got the coolest template (from Catcuslab's Matt Buchanan - nice work!) based on the art of Saul Bass (Hitchcock's Vertigo), and it's an easy way to throw up links of interesting randomness. Because the internet is all about random connections.
Thank you to my regular readers, you are a select group of very cool cats and I like you a lot. Cheers!
Ba Ba Boom - out now
My new digi-EP is out today - woo hoo! Very proud of it too. You can get it from all good digital outlets (Vodafone, Telecom, iTunes, etc). Amplifier have it as good quality MP3s (320k) without DRM, AND they've got an exclusive bonus tune too, called Mr Skiffle (link to Amplifier).
If you're up bright and early, I'm doing an interview on BaseFM's breakfast show at about 8.15am - listen online here.
Here's the blurb from Amplifier, in case you missed my previous ravings...
"Dub Asylum (a.k.a. Peter McLennan from NZ music legends the Hallelujah Picassos) returns from the wilderness with five songs of funky goodness, mixing up dub, ska, hip-hop and down-tempo.
The EP serves as a taster of the second Dub Asylum album (the follow-up to 'She Dubs Me, She Dubs Me Not from 2002), due to drop at the end of the year.
Guests include regular SJD vocalist Sandy Mill, MC Kyla, the WBC horn section, and Scatch 22 (The Unscene). Highlights include the deliciously skanking ska of Ba Ba Boom, and the funky, full-throated roar that is MC Kyla on Smash Thru, over a groove that sounds like Mr Scruff dancing on some lino, buggin' out doing headspins.
The latest release from Dub Asylum includes the Amplifier exclusive track Mr Skiffle. Recorded at Federal Recorders, engineered and mixed by Peter McLennan. Mastered at Kog Studios by Chris Chetland."

Ex-pat Kiwi and now Senior VP of International Marketing at Motown Universal, Kirk Harding, wrote an excellent piece for the latest issue of NZ Musician, its 20th anniversary issue - CONGRATS to them! Read the full version at the MTC blog (Link).
snip..."The industry's playing field has changed a great deal since the days that I was pushing Richard Thorne and the good folks at NZ Musician to give me some column inches for a then unknown act called Supergroove. We all know the bands story, but I would like to use their example for a minute to highlight/illustrate how quickly that the industry's playing field is changing.
In the 1990's the only way to get your music out to the world was via methods that seem to be rather archaic in the present day. The fact that we went on to sell a considerable amount of Supergroove albums internationally was no accident, it was a result of a big system pushing a little group from New Zealand, who had proven themselves to have huge potential in their home market first..."
Kirk also talks about the current processes A&R use to find new acts, such as monitoring iTunes sales globally, Myspace traffic etc...
earlier posts from Kirk - Droppin Knowledge part 3 Defing the grind;
Droppin Knowledge part 2 Come together: snip "at that point the word had spread that Daryl [DLT] was making an album and no one in the (very small scene at the time) wanted any part of it. I remember it so clearly, rather than taking the opportunity to work with D, everyone started hating on the concept; with one very established artist proclaiming to Daryl "who the fuck do you think you are? You're not Dr Dre? You don't run this scene". I was gob smacked. I couldn't believe it and still can't. Daryl was the first Hip Hop artist that was signed to a major label."
and Droppin Knowledge part 1 Lost art of A&R.
Go read em all.
Very funny. Hat tip to P-Money.

Retro audio
Hat tip to Chad for this link. "Jeff Kobi rescued an old Apple 5.25" floppy drive from a thrift store. His aim was to repurpose it as a retrostalgic project case. He eventually struck upon the clever and practical idea of using it to house his budget-priced Sonic Impact T-Amp "audiophile" digital amplifier."
