Meet The Director
The Jewish
Studies Program
and Center
Professor Mark W. Rosenblum
Director of the Jewish Studies Program and
Center for Jewish Studies at Queens College Professor Mark W. Rosenblum is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Michael Harrington Center, Queens College.
The author of numerous scholarly and popular articles on his field of expertise, the Middle East, Professor Rosenblum has appeared as a Middle East analyst on CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and National Public Radio. He has met with virtually all the major players in the region, including Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, King Abdullah II, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. His project, "The Middle East and America: Clash of Civilizations or Meeting of Minds," seeks modes of reconciliation for all interested in the Middle East, and recently won a major Ford Foundation grant. He was also one of two winners of an award in the field of Religion, Conflict, and Reconciliation by the Clinton Global Initiative.

The Year in Review
The Center for Jewish Studies at Queens College has just completed an extraordinarily challenging year—a year marked by both tragedy and triumph. The fall semester began with the sudden tragic death of our beloved former Director Benny Kraut. This was followed by the global economic crisis that has strained educational resources and the financial capacities of friends like you. The loss of Benny and the continuing economic downturn have spurred our staff, students, faculty, and supporters to deepen their commitment to sustaining the excellence of both the Center's Culture & Arts offerings and the Jewish Studies Academic Program. And sustain and even grow them, we have. The Center's Expanding Culture & Arts Program: This past year we offered seventeen programs. These included: world class scholars and educators, renowned diplomats and political analysts, virtuoso musicians and singers, compelling cinema, uplifting Jewish-Muslim interfaith dialogue, and a fascinating and very adult evening with producers of "Sesame Street" on the promise and perils of bringing their educational programming to Israel and the Arab/Islamic world. Many of these superb and creative programs were free to the public, and several of them included a sumptuous complimentary banquet. (Please see the detailed review of this past year's Culture & Arts guide that follows this report.) Our Distinguished and Growing Faculty: Our worldclass Jewish Studies faculty, drawn from fifteen different departments within the college, includes some of America's most eminent scholars. More than half a dozen of our professors have won the coveted Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching. Strong as our faculty is, we are still growing.
This fall we will be adding four new, young, gifted scholar/teachers to our program: Dr. Francesca Bregoli (The Joseph and Oro Halegua Professor in Greek and Sephardic Jewish Studies), Dr. Sari Kisilevsky (The Pearl and Nathan Halegua Family Professor in Ethics and Tolerance), Dr. Elissa Bemporad (History of the Jews in Eastern Europe and the Holocaust), and Dr. Arnold Franklin (Medieval Jewish History in the Arabic-speaking world). Our Diverse and alented Students: At our commencement, an overflow crowd of parents, relatives, friends, and faculty filled the Q Side Lounge, kvelling as our graduates and awardees demonstrated anew their staggering academic achievements. Every one of our minors and majors was graduating with honors or high honors and they had a cumulative GPA that exceeded 3.7 out of 4.0! These graduates and awardees are among the more than 2,000 students who annually enroll in over 80 of our Jewish Studies courses. Their academic acumen is complemented by their ethical commitment and community service. They represent a core of the campus leadership, from the editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, The Knight News, and the founder and president of the QC chapter of Stand, an antigenocide coalition, to the president and co-founder of the Israel Student Alliance and the president of the Chabad Jewish Student Club.
While this has been a memorable year of stellar academic performances and cultural programs, it has also been a year of tragedy and loss. professor Benny Kraut, our distinguished former Director, died suddenly this past fall. For eight years Benny was a miracle worker, building our center into a showcase that others have emulated. Our inheritance from Benny is invaluable, our loss a constant reminder of his high standards and great expectations. We will be honoring Benny in our first annual program on november 15 that commemorates the Holocaust and considers ways to combat anti-Semitism and hatred. Join us as we light candles commemorating Kristallnacht with survivors and discuss creative ways of countering anti-Semitism and hatred with our distinguished keynote speaker and alumnus Dr. Michael Berenbaum.
The dedication and excellence of our students manifested itself in another arena: the eleventh edition of the Queens College Journal of Jewish Studies: A Student Production. This completely student-run initiative will delight and stimulate readers, making them swell with pride to be associated with the Queens College Jewish
Studies Program and the Center for Jewish Studies. A labor of love, this issue of the Journal once again has
been produced by a distinguished group of students who have mastered all aspects of the publication process: soliciting contributions, selecting those to be included, editing all materials, preparing camera-ready copy, and scouring the marketplace for the best printer at the most competitive price. No matter what hour of the day or night, the editors were busy evaluating submissions and pondering themes in our charming Simon and Roslyn Gold Jewish Studies Library.
The co-editors-in-chief, Faigy Abdelhak and Laura Sonneborn-Turetsky, and their equally talented and exuberant
editorial board—Rachel Lifshitz, Daniella Adler, Alexandra Elbaum, Andrew Goldstein, Lori Holzman, Beth Ann Prupis Kern, Chana Rosenthal, and Stephen Surrett—produced a memorable work. This beautiful and inspiring publication is worth having in your collection. It is available for $12.00 from the Office of Jewish Studies, Jefferson Hall, room 307; 718-997-4530. Against the odds, economic downturn and all, we have pulled off a triple play at Queens College. While many fret over the fate of our Jewish youth and the perceived foreboding atmosphere on some college campuses, at Queens College—in our nation's most diverse county—
our Center for Jewish Studies is thriving. First, our academic presence is robust and growing. Two thousand
students, including many non-Jews, are immersed in studying Jewish history, culture, civilization, and religion.
Second, we are successfully recruiting a new generation of talented, charismatic professors devoted to both teaching and scholarship. Third, during a period of severe economic contraction, we have sustained the high quality and broad range of programming in our cultural and arts performances.Our exemplary educational work has been recognized. The Center for Jewish Studies at Queens College has been awarded a grant of $285,000 from the United States Department of Education. We have been singled out as the worthy host of a "Center on Ethnic and Racial Understanding." We will bring together students, family members, and relevant community members from various racial, religious, and ethnic groups to increase their appreciation,
tolerance, and understanding of others who do not belong to their own group. This latest grant from the epartment of Education, along with the continuing generosity of Elsi Levy and her beloved late husband Leon's largesse in his will, is helping us through these difficult economic times. However, you have no doubt been reading in the Jewish press and elsewhere that like all institutions—for profit and not-forprofit— CUNY and Queens College have been impacted by the economic downturn. We are carefully addressing these challenges to ensure our long-term health, but we rely on your support to enable us to continue to offer so many free programs and to play such a pivotal role in the world of Jewish Studies. We thank you for your past support and hope you will take a few moments to fill out the enclosed envelope. Please join us as a new member or renew as a Friend of the Center for Jewish Studies at Queens College.
There are several others whom I would like to thank. President James Muyskens and Vice President for Institutional Advancement Sue Henderson have been steady and generous supporters of our work. The president
has found time in his frenetic schedule to introduce and attend many of our programs. "Time is money," and
he and the vice president have invested both in the center. They have provided us with a new staff position that
will help coordinate our various activities, and they have facilitated the hiring of new professors that will join our
faculty in the fall. I would also like to thank my esteemed colleagues Professor William Helmreich, former director, and Arthur Anderman, chairman of the center, who so wisely took the initiative in pursuing our new Center on Ethnic and Racial Understanding that has now been funded.Thanks and deep appreciation are also in order for the two pillars of our program, Pat Tortorici and Rita Shliselberg. Their service to the center and the academic program is distinguished by a devotion to our students and community that goes beyond their job description and their paycheck at the center office. Thanks also to Elsi Levy, one of the stalwarts on the center's board of directors. Her presence is felt in every dimension of our program. From stuffing envelopes in our office and planning our enthralling music programs to her generous philanthropy, Elsi is there with a helping hand and a reassuring nod of support. And what we support is a center that is committed to continuing to ask the hard questions that require responses from a diverse range of erspectives: Is it 1938, again? What is the future of Jerusalem? Are the U.S. and Israel under Obama and Netanyahu heading towards a strategic collision or a Solomonic compromise? In the past three years we have brought together some of the greatest minds and notable leaders in Jewish life to address these provocative questions. Instead of one-sided answers, we have participated in dialogues that include strikingly divergent ideas.
In my preface to The Jewish Condition: Challenges and Responses—1938–2008, I attempted to make a case for
the broad band of opinion approach:"Multiple sides were represented, not because we are devotees of some kind of insipid relativism that insists every point has an equally valid counterpoint, but because there are fundamental issues about which we as a community are resolutely unresolved. Too often, these issues are explored in forums for the like-minded who gather to cheerlead, recite their best arguments, and send their embedded ideologues out to engage in political battle. Our hope was that we might clarify our differences and perhaps discover some unexpected agreement." The students who edited the eleventh edition of the Queens College Journal of Jewish Studies clarify our mission. Co-Editor Faigy Abdelhak's engaging artistry on the Journal's cover incorporates a rabbinic saying that captures the spirit of our endeavor: "Who Is Wise? One Who Learns From Everyone" (Pirkei Avot 4:1). Drawn from the collection of rabbinic axioms that over the centuries have become a principal ethical scripture for Jews, this inscription honors the mission of the Jewish Studies Program and Center at Queens College, which explores— through competing perspectives—some of the most searing questions that confront Jewry.Professor Mark W. Rosenblum Director, Jewish Studies Program

Cville Time Bank Encourages Bartering for Services
Posted: 3:38 PM Jan 16, 2013
Reporter: Chris Stover
January 16, 2013
You may have heard the saying, "Time is money." In Charlottesville, that phrase is becoming more true.
The Cville Time Bank is preparing to launch. It's a reciprocal service network that allows people in the same area to provide professional services or tasks in exchange for another.
Anyone involved can offer a service -- anything from home improvement work to teaching someone how to knit. Every time someone performs a service, he or she ears a time dollar.
Time dollars can be exchanged for another service.
"The time bank can operate exchanges anywhere from basic household chores to professional services," said Kathy Kildea, co-chair of the Cville Time Bank. "Whatever our members are able to offer and are in need of, we can make those matches in the time bank to get those needs met."
The entire system is tracked online. The people behind it are trying to recruit as many people as possible to expand the number of services available.
"You may be an attorney and be able to offer legal advice, but you don't have time to clean out your garden," Kildea said. "The time bank is a great way to get what you need from the other members."
The time bank will hold a potluck on Sunday, Jan. 20, for anyone interested in taking part. It will take place at 5 p.m. at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Unitarian Church on Rugby Road in Charlottesville.

More than 20 NYSNA leaders met with New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli last week, as NYSNA raises its profile in Albany to benefit our 37,000 members.
Leaders from hospitals across the state attended the meeting: from the Big Apple's HHC system to Oneida County, from the Bronx and Brooklyn to Westchester Medical Center.
This was NYSNA's first meeting with DiNapoli, the sole trustee of several public pension funds, and his office audits all public entities such as Westchester and Erie County Medical Centers.
Nancy Kaleda, NYSNA's Deputy Executive Director (Labor), thanked DiNapoli for his opposition to the Tier VI retirement legislation, and several workplace leaders raised other issues on NYSNA's agenda, including the deteriorating patient care and workplace conditions at Westchester Medical Center.
"We appreciate the Comptroller's meeting with our leaders," Kaleda said. "We've strengthened our ties with him and look forward to continuing our work on issues that matter to nurses, our patients and communities."
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

I've never played a ME game and I'm considering getting ME3 *by "getting" i mean legitimately downloading it from a licensed retailer and in no way downloading it from TPB *cough*). My question is, should I play ME 1 and 2 before getting 3? Are they directly connected or are they loosely connected like TES games?

zxmongoose (04/21/2013) [-]
I haven't played through 1 all the way yet (which is part of me knowing that the experience helps a lot), but as far as I'm into it it's a really good game. 2 is also excellent, I've beaten it more than one time through and it's been a ton of fun each time

ChessBrain: a Linux-Based Distributed Computing Experiment
On May 27, 2003, 646 machines worked together to play a single game of chess. This was the first time such a feat had been accomplished, and it was made possible by the power of Linux, open-source software and hundreds of contributors from over 37 different countries.
ChessBrain (chessbrain.net) is a distributed computation project that uses the idle processing power of distributed machines to solve computationally intensive problems. ChessBrain is a system focused on playing chess, but the underlying system can be adapted for other games as well as for non-game-related applications.
Imagine playing a game against an opponent, except every time he moves, you grab the phone and start calling friends for help. You call Sue, describe the current position and ask her to call you back when she has an answer. Then you call Ryan to ask whether you should worry about a pending attack; again, you ask for a call back when he has an answer. After calling 20 other friends, you sit back and wait for replies. This is similar to how ChessBrain plays chess.
ChessBrain consists of a Linux-based server application, the SuperNode, and client software known as PeerNodes. The SuperNode connects to an on-line game server, which allows visiting members to play against one another, challenge ChessBrain to a game or watch ChessBrain play against its current opponent. While ChessBrain plays, it examines positions, dispatches hundreds of potential moves to remote PeerNodes for analysis, collects feedback from the PeerNodes, processes that information and makes its best move. ChessBrain exists as an ever-changing pool of networked machines. Philosophically and scientifically, it's a beautiful thing.
I started ChessBrain as a distributed computing experiment in the summer of 2001. By the end of that year, I had a working prototype and needed a place to host the server. My longtime friend, Walter Howard, the webmaster of HackerWhacker (hackerwhacker.com), offered to host the server on his personal T1 line.
On June 9, 2002, ChessBrain appeared on Slashdot, and the positive exposure resulted in hundreds of new PeerNode operators. Gavin Roy, one of the new members, owns the bteg network (www.bteg.net) and offered to host a SuperNode server free of charge. On June 27, I met Gavin for dinner and handed this near stranger a SuperNode server on a Pentium III machine. ChessBrain gained another server, I gained another friend, and Gavin has become an important supporter of the ChessBrain Project. I transitioned the SuperNode over to Gavin's site, and Walt continued to host the original SuperNode as a secondary backup and experimental server.
During the months that followed, we gained an amazing amount of exposure. Few seemed to mind that ChessBrain couldn't actually play chess. The first eight months of 2002 were spent working on the SuperNode server and porting the PeerNode client to Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X.
Once the server and clients worked well, the focus was on getting ChessBrain actually to play. The wbec-ridderkerk (www.wbec-ridderkerk.nl) site in the Netherlands lists nearly 200 freely available chess-playing programs. I reviewed a few, looking for one with relatively clean code and the ability to compile under several operating systems. I found an ideal program in Beowulf, written by Colin Frayn, who was then a PhD candidate at Cambridge University in England. We exchanged several e-mails and Colin joined the project. We collaborated entirely on-line using e-mail and instant messaging (IM) and began making necessary modifications. Colin adapted his chess program for distributed computing, and I modified the SuperNode and PeerNode clients to use his engine. The time difference between London and Los Angeles proved ideal. I would IM Colin at my 3AM and again during the day. By my late afternoon, Colin would head for bed, and I would work through his night. Before crashing, I would leave feedback for Colin. This round-the-clock cycle continued for months.
Colin adapted his original Beowulf chess engine to become two chess-playing components, BeoServer and BeoClient. He developed the pair to support distributed chess play within the ChessBrain framework. On December 22, 2002, ChessBrain played its first game of distributed chess. By January 2003, the ChessBrain community had provided 62 machines and was testing regular builds.

Nice Script :P
I hope it will bring the Thing further.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Let's make it happen! Let's help send Pat Neshek to the 2007 All Star Game in San Francisco! He wasn't named to the All-Star game tonight, BUT he is in the list of five AL Players who the fans need to vote on for the final roster spot. As I was driving home today, I was contemplating an article on how the Twins biggest 'snub' was Pat Neshek. He is putting together an absolutely incredible season, and he deserves a spot on the All Star roster. But, Tigers' manager Jim Leyland put him on the list of five players that fans can vote on, and that alone is a huge honor. He is up against the likes of Roy Halladay and Jeremy Bonderman, so my guess is that most people don't think Neshek can do it. HOWEVER, don't be surprised if Neshek gets the votes he needs. I know I'll be voting as frequently as I can!
Also, Justin Morneau was named to the All Star team as a reserve. That was pretty obvious and well deserved. He is having an excellent year following up his 2007 MVP. Torii Hunter made the All-Star team in 2001 by being voted in. This year, he makes it because of his incredible first half numbers! And, the other obvious choice was Johan Santana, and he should start! Well, he or Danny Haren, I guess. You could argue that Joe Mauer was snubbed, but he missed a month and the three catchers that made it all deserve it. Luis Castillo could be argued as an All-Star, but not really. Joe Nathan is a star, but he probably doesn't quite deserve it either.
I am so excited for Pat Neshek. I know that he hasn't made it yet,
and there is a good chance that he won't. But just to be recognized
like this, as a middle reliever is incredible. He has been as good
as it gets at his position. So,
(NOTE - there is no limit to
how many times you can vote, so just keep voting!)

High School Mathematics Competition held at HC
Huntington, Ind.—The Spring 2002 Huntington College Mathematics Competition will be held this Friday, April 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Habecker Dining Commons Banquet Rooms. The Huntington College Mathematics Competition is provided as a means of fostering mathematical interest and expertise among high school students.
The competition consists of three parts: the written exam, individual ciphering, and a team problem-solving event. The written exam consists of 20 multiple choice questions from mathematics topics, ranging from beginning algebra through calculus. Competitors are given 40 minutes to complete the exam. The questions allow the use of a graphing calculator, and the score for each team member on the written test will be added to the team score and to the individual score.
During the individual competition, each competitor is given a problem to complete within a two-minute time interval without the aid of a calculator. Each individual completes the problem as quickly as possible. Points are granted to the individual and to the team based on how quickly an accurate response is given. Competitors only have one chance to turn in a solution.
During the team problem-solving portion of the competition, a multi-faceted problem will be given to the entire school team to complete.

The postgame stat sheet showed that the Broncos rushed for 47 yards on 18 carries in Sunday's loss to the Colts at INVESCO Field at Mile High. When analyzing the game film of the team's first home loss of the 2010 season, Head Coach Josh McDaniels saw squandered chances for the offense to bump up its 2.6 yards per carry average.
"We had opportunities yesterday in the running game that we did not take advantage of — no question about it," McDaniels said Monday morning. "That is not aimed at one specific player. I have said it a million times that your ability to run the ball effectively is a combination of a lot of people doing their job the right way."
The Broncos started out hoping to run the ball against the Colts, who came into the game with the league's worst run defense. Kyle Orton handed off to Laurence Maroney — who made his team debut Sunday — nine times in the first half, including three times from the 1-yard line after the Broncos earned a first-and-goal opportunity in the second quarter.
But the offense couldn't crack the end zone on any of the attempts — resulting in one of three possessions in which the Broncos found the red zone and failed to come up with any points — and Maroney averaged just 1.7 yards per carry in the half.
As the second half progressed with the Broncos attempting to close their deficit, the offense largely relied on the pass. In all, Orton threw the ball 57 times, finishing with a career-high 476 passing yards.
Maroney, who was inactive last week with an injury but got the start with Knowshon Moreno out, said he felt good in his first action of the 2010 season. The sixth-year running back said he also saw plenty of room for improvement even before watching the game film himself.
"I've just got to be more patient," said Maroney, who helped out in the passing game with a pair of catches for 40 yards. "The running game is definitely going to be better. I promise you that."
Currently the Broncos rank first in the NFL in passing yards per game, but their 67 yards per game on the ground ranks them No. 30 out of the league's 32 squads.
McDaniels said he's finding a positive in the fact that the Broncos have cut down on negative runs this season, meaning the offensive linemen are not allowing penetration into the backfield. They had just one negative rush against the Colts.
The head coach said there are subtle improvements to be made across the board, whether it's the running backs recognizing the hole, linemen staying on blocks or receivers getting blocks downfield.
When analyzing the game film, McDaniels said there are always plays that jump out that could've yielded what he called "hidden yardage." Going forward, he remains optimistic that the team's rushing attack is headed in the right direction.
"Once we start finishing plays as well as we start them," McDaniels said, "I think our running game will be much improved."

What's being done to protect Oregonians from chemical spills?
Oregon's Public Health Division operates the Hazardous Substances Incident Surveillance (HSIS) system to identify and describe any potential health effects associated with releases of hazardous substances.
Oregon's HSIS works with other government agencies to monitor these releases, investigates factors leading to spills and injuries, and reports the results to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) for inclusion in the National Toxic Substance Incidents Program (NTSIP) national database. From 1992-2009, HSIS participated in ATSDR's Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance (HSEES) system.
In addition to gathering general background information, the investigation attempts to determine what specific substances may have been released to the environment, who might have been exposed to these substances, what immediate injuries or health problems may have resulted from exposure, and what efforts were made to evacuate people or to shelter them in homes, workplaces, or businesses in the area.
How does this help to protect the public?
These monitoring efforts can provide useful information about the types of substances released during these events, and the most common types of injuries associated with them. The information collected can help in finding the most effective ways to handle these events — for emergency responders, health care personnel, planners, and others who play a role in protecting the public. Ultimately, the information can help to reduce deaths and injuries for responders, workers, and the general public.
What kinds of leaks and spills does HSIS monitor?
The Oregon HSIS monitoring program focuses on spills and leaks that qualify as
hazardous substance incidents
These incidents may include any uncontrolled or illegal releases — or threatened releases — of potentially hazardous substances. The exceptions are leaks or spills involving petroleum products, which are handled by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
Oregon HSIS monitors spills and leaks whenever the amount of material released makes it necessary to take protective or remedial action — that is, when it becomes necessary to clean up, remove or neutralize the spilled or leaked chemicals, or to evacuate people from the area.
Hazardous substance incidents may involve a variety of different chemical substances. More than 65,000 chemicals are currently in commercial use, and about 600 new chemicals are added each year. However, for many of these chemicals, the potential health effects are not known. A number of state and federal agencies are currently conducting research on many of these chemicals, to determine their possible effects.
What kinds of problems are most likely to result from a leak or spill?
Leaks and spills are most often relatively brief events, and any human exposure to hazardous materials is also usually brief. If they do have any impact on health, these events are most likely to result in
health effects — that is, they are most likely to cause
illness or injury. The short-term health problems associated with chemical spills or leaks can vary in severity — ranging from headaches to potentially fatal illnesses and injuries.
How does Oregon HSIS learn about leaks and spills?
The HSIS system obtains information about a hazardous substance emergency from a variety of sources. Incident reports are sent to HSIS by the Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS), the Office of State Fire Marshal, and the National Response Center, after which HSIS staff follow-up to find out more about the incident by examining the records of other state agencies, and by talking with personnel involved in environmental protection activities, law enforcement, local fire officials, health care personnel, and the persons directly involved in the incident. Although reports to HSIS are voluntary, OERS is the designated agency in Oregon to receive required reports of spills.
, call the Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS), toll-free, at 1-800-452-0311.
How does Oregon use the data from the monitoring program?
Oregon is one of 7 states currently participating in the ATSDR NTSIP national database. Oregon HSIS uses this information to monitor state trends regarding specific hazardous materials and their health effects, allowing the development of effective strategies to prevent spills. Oregon HSIS staff also compare our data with that from other states to see if the differences can give clues to causes of spills and releases.
HSIS tracks illnesses and deaths among workers, emergency responders and the general public in connection with spills. The data are also used to identify factors that increase health risks and to develop effective strategies to prevent injuries, illness, and deaths.
The HSIS database has the potential to help various agencies in drafting legislation, developing rules and regulations, creating guidelines for responding to hazardous substance emergencies, and developing better procedures for protecting workers. These efforts should help to minimize the health impact of any hazardous substances that may be released to the environment during future spill incidents.
If you have questions or comments about the role of Oregon HSIS in monitoring chemical or other hazardous substance leaks and spills, please contact the HSIS program at 971-673-1014.

Comorbidity, a Word for Thought...
July 31, 2009
July 31, 2009
"Comorbidity" is a strange word, right? Well, at least for me it was. I have to admit it that it was the first scientific word I learned during my internship here at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)–my Spanish accent still gives me a hard time pronouncing it. Read More »

Job Description Laborers may be skilled or unskilled workers with duties as varied as clearing timber and brush, removing demolished materials from a job site, placing and vibrating concrete, landscaping, installing pipe, handling the materials for other trades workers or using explosives to demolish buildings. Laborers are needed on all types of construction projects such as highways, bridges, tunnels, large buildings, sanitation, and residential and perform work for the duration of the project. A laborer must know how to work with his or her hands and with power tools run by gasoline, electricity and compressed air. Other tools used include pavement breakers, rammers, pumps, compressors, lasers and vibrators. Working Conditions Laborer work is performed both indoors and outdoors and may be done on a surface environment, at extreme heights, underground or above or under water. All laborers must do a considerable amount of lifting, carrying, climbing, kneeling, balancing and even crawling. Jobs require strength, dexterity and alertness. Because the work has so many varied conditions, laborers must know the hazards and safety requirements of each job. Wages Beginning apprentices start at 60 percent of the journey-level wage. Upon successful completion of required class work and on-the-job hours, wages increase usually every six months, until the journey-level rate is achieved. Length of Apprenticeship The apprenticeship lasts two years. Apprentices must complete a minimum of 144 related classroom hours per year and 4,000 on-the-job training hours. Minimum Qualifications Apprenticeship applicants must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, they must provide proof of high school graduation or general education development (GED) equivalent.

New 'Combo' packs at a discounted price. We are offering combination packs of either Trius 674, 694 or 814 cameras with a 'mini' filter wheel and a Lodestar guider, at a discounted price. The mini wheel is effectively free! Please contact our dealers for pricing.
CCDSoft camera plug-in updated. Adds H694, H814 etc.
New Mac software for most SX cameras (thanks to Simon Taylor!): http://coreastro.org/downloads/sx-io.php
Latest CCDPlugSXUniversal.dll+sxusbcam.dll for Maxim adds new 694, 814 and Superstar cameras to the list. Unzip and replace these files inside the Maxim folder. Note - you must remove the older versions, renaming is not sufficient.
New 'INDI' SX camera drivers from 'CloudMakers' http://www.cloudmakers.eu/indi
New 'Trius' camera series launch
We have now released our latest series of high performance cooled cameras - the 'Trius' range. These cameras replace the previous 'SXVR' versions and add extra features to this popular design. The major change is the replacement of the 18 way port with three independent USB ports, via an internal hub chip. These sockets are intended to connect accessories, such as the SX Lodestar or filter wheel, directly through the camera and to bypass the multiple USB cables that were previously required. The Trius cameras are provided with three short 'mini B' to female 'A' leads to interface with standard USB leads and a short mini B to mini B lead for direct connection to a Lodestar, Superstar or Costar guider.
Other major changes include a low-noise linear cooling regulator with two-stage high efficiency Peltier cooler and a dry Argon filled CCD chamber for better thermal characteristics. Please visit our products pages for more details.
New lens option for Oculus:
An alternative F1.2 lens with a focal length of 2.5 mm, is now available. This lens makes better use of the CCD area available and increases the Oculus sensitivity and resolution, but does reduce the field of view slightly. If you have nearby obstructions that limit your sky field, or are not interested in the low altitude stars, this lens may be a better option than the 1.55 mm fisheye. The effective field is approximately 150 degrees in the long axis of the CCD. Please contact Starlight if you wish to change to this lens, or to have it as an accessory. (Latest Oculus is fitted with the f1.2 2.5mm lens as standard and the f2 1.55mm lens is available as an accessory).
New product release - Mini wheel with guider port
We are pleased to announce a new 5 position 'mini filter wheel' with integrated guider port. The mini wheel is only 150mm in diameter and can accept carousels with 1.25" threaded filters or 36mm unmounted filters. Front and back T2 thread adaptors are standard.
New product release - a 9.2 megapixel version of the H694 camera
The very popular H694 and H694C cameras now have an even higher resolution sister - the H814. This new version boasts 9.19 million pixels in a 12.5 x 10mm array. Each pixel is 3.69uM square. More details to follow soon.
New product release - the 'Oculus' All-sky camera
The Oculus is a 150 degree coverage all-sky camera module, based on a 'SuperStar' camera core. It offers a high quality, low noise image, for sky conditions monitoring and meteor watches etc. The Oculus is provided with a replaceable, scratch-resistant, polycarbonate viewing dome and a satin anodised aluminium body. The camera is USB powered, but an additional 12v anti-dew heater input is also provided. More data and images at the Oculus webpage.

New signed camera drivers for Windows 8 (and 7)
Windows 8 tries to enforce driver signing for connected hardware, so it can be difficult to set up the older unsigned camera drivers. We now have a complete signed driver installer on our Downloads page.
Starlight Xpress change of ownership.
On Tuesday, July 17th, the company Starlight Xpress Ltd was bought by the management and is now fully owned by Terry Platt, Michael Hattey, Gill Hattey and Richard Austin. The holding company is called SX Imaging Ltd, but Starlight Xpress Ltd will continue to trade with no change to its constitution. We believe that this will be a positive change and will result in a wider range of high quality imaging products being offered by our company. A link to the official announcement is given here.
Starlight Xpress is moving to new premises!
After 21 years at our old address, we have decided to move to a larger and more modern factory. The new address is just a couple of miles south of Foxley Green farm, at Unit 3 in the Brooklands business park, but offers 3 times the floor space and a more pleasant working environment. Please address any mail to our new address below.
Our new address is:
Starlight Xpress Ltd, Unit 3, Brooklands Farm, Bottle Lane, Binfield, Berks., RG42 5QX

Exciting new Sony chip based cameras:
Four new Exview SXVR cameras were on show at AstroFest this year. The H674 and H674C are 2.83 megapixel versions of the H9 and H9C and the H694 / H694C are 6.1 megapixel versions with larger 15.9mm diagonal CCDs. Both mono cameras have an excellent QE of approx. 77% peak and are very sensitive at H-alpha (QE = 66% at 656nm). As usual, the legendary low dark signal of Sony chips eliminates the need for dark frames in most circumstances. These cameras are now released and are available to order from our distributors. |
New ASCOM and 64bits drivers:
Version 1012 of the filter wheel ASCOM driver and control software (now updated for Ascom 6 and 64 bit Windows). Version 1020 of the filter wheel firmware (Beta test to fix 64 bit start-up problem) |
A full release version of the 64 bit camera driver with dual camera support and other improvements. (Version date March 2011) |
New products releases:
The SuperStar. A 1.4 megapixel guider, also well suited to high res. Lunar and Planetary imaging. |
The 'One shot colour' Lodestar. An ideal low cost colour imager for beginners and mobile users. |
New products for 2013 !
Here is a brief review of what will be coming during the next few months:
The SX Video camera A highly sensitive cooled video speed CCD camera with 659 x 494 pixels. Up to 40 frames per second with 16 bits wide data output. This camera will be ideal for planetary imaging, but is also capable of being used for deep sky work by virtue of the built-in cooling. |
The Sky Scanner clear sky detector This is a compact, battery powered sky microradiometer with a UHF radio link to a receiver module. It detects the state of the sky by sensing the effective temperature of its field of view and relays the result to your indoor receiver. Four status LEDs indicate the sky transparency, from dense cloud to completely clear, and an audio alarm can be enabled if the sky clears unexpectedly, or if dense cloud covers a previously clear sky. With the 'Sky Scanner' in operation, you can relax in bed and be awakened only when those pesky clouds suddenly disappear! |

Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: SWHC), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, announced that it has been awarded a firearms contract from the San Antonio Police Department for duty side arms from the company's M&P Pistol Series. The San Antonio Police Department has selected the M&P40 as its new service firearm and has begun to convert officers to the new handgun platform.
As one of the state's largest police forces with over 2,100 sworn officers, San Antonio joins the ranks of agencies that have converted to the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol. The full-department conversion calls for 2,600 M&P40 pistols chambered in .40 S&W to be delivered to the department. The recent order represents Smith & Wesson's largest contract to date to an agency in the state of Texas.

With an overall team score of 2249 out of 2350, Lindenwood University held 50 points over second place Texas A&M University and 121 on third place Bethel University.

San Antonio, Texas - After there were no more clays to break at the 45th Annual Association of College Unions International (ACUI) Intercollegiate Clay Target Championships at San Antonio's National Shooting Complex, National the NRA announced this year's rosters of All-Americans in shotgun for the 2012-2013 season.
The All-American award has recognized the top collegiate shooting sports competitors in the rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines since its creation in 1936.

San Antonio, Texas - There is no final round in American Trap. No last gathering of top shooters for one final opportunity to snag the brass ring. That's saved for the International Championships. With American Trap, the shooter with the high score at the end of the round wins. Simple as that.
That's not to say there's never a situation that calls for another round. There is. If, for example, there's a tie for high score (or any of the top three spots) then it must be resolved. And ties happen. A lot. Just ask Southeastern Illinois' Matt Perkins (pictured above).
More on the American Trap Championship's tiebreaker ...
San Antonio, Texas - The ACUI Clay Target Championship's most popular event is its American Trap Championship, and with good reason. Simple and straight forward, it was the first game many of these shooters started with.
After advancing to skeet and playing games with international rules, going back to American Trap is a familiar experience they've been doing for years.
More on ACUI's American Trap Championships ...
San Antonio, Texas - Easter Sunday served as the setting for the American Trap Championships here at the NSSA-NSCA National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.
The most popular shotgun sport throughout the United States, American Trap is how most shotgunners start out their career. As a result, most shooters bring years and years of experience with the event ... that translates into extremely high scores.
San Antonio, Texas - Out of the nearly 500 collegiate shotgun shooters who entered yesterday's American Skeet Championships, a mere 1% shot a perfect 100.
Five men racked up four clean skeet rounds of 25 hits a piece. But there is no five way tie for first. There is also no championship round. Unlike the international variant, American Skeet has no finals. If you're the shooter with the highest score after everyone takes their turn, you win.
More on the American Skeet tiebreakers from San Antonio ...
San Antonio, Texas - While the weekend may have started yesterday, hundreds of collegiate shooters have been at the NSSA-NSCA National Shooting Complex in San Antonio all week for the 45th Annual ACUI Clay Target Championships.
Already spending days breaking clays in the championship's events, competitors had even more shooting ahead of them yesterday (and even more ahead) with the American Skeet Championships.
Take another look at the American Skeet Championships ...
San Antonio, Texas - Hoofing it back to the skeet fields at the NSSA-NSCA National Shooting Complex, hundreds of collegiate shooters with shotguns and dreams welcome the day's American Skeet Championships.
Developed as a method of perfecting wing-shooting skills for bird hunting, skeet quickly grew into a competitive sport of its own. Its practically the same competition as International Skeet. The primary differences is that American Skeet is a little easier and tends to produce higher scores.

On the 15th anniversary of VDay, "Vagina Monologues" playwright Eve Ensler is going global with One Billion Rising, planned as the largest day of action in the feminist's long-standing commitment to ending violence against women and girls. In addition to the city of Atlanta declaring Valentine's Day 2013 "A Rape and Violence Free Zone" today (well, the intentions are good even if the reality is unlikely), some of Atlanta's most notable women, men and children are gathering this morning at the state capitol downtown starting at 10 a.m. Locals join One Billion Rising global gatherings in 203 countries in the effort to end assaults against women. Ensler's longtime friend and former Atlantan Jane Fonda is heading up the left coast rising today.
Local speakers will include Evelyn Lowery, civil rights activist and wife of Dr. Joseph Lowery, Bernice King, the daughter of MLK, Spanx founder Sara Blakely and Captain Planet Foundation eco activist Laura Turner Seydel.
"One in three women will be brutalized or raped in their lifetime," Turner Seydel tells Atlanta magazine. "This will be the largest day of action in history in an effort to end violence against women and girls. We want men, women and children involved too. This is not just about women wising up. This is about educating our entire population. If we can't stop these atrocities against our mothers, our sisters and our daughters, we can't tackle all of the other significant issues before us. It is an absolute shame in this day and time that violence is escalating. The reason we are mobilizing today is the problem is not improving, it's worsening. Every single day, we're seeing it on our televisions and our own backyards. We're living in a time when one in four girls in college will be date raped. These are unacceptable numbers and we have to do something and we have to do it now."
In addition to inviting Atlantans downtown to Rise Up downtown at 10 on the capitol steps, at noon, invited participants are walking over to Woodruff Park to take part in a flash mob choreographed by none other than Debbie Allen herself. The planned "largest flash mob in Atlanta history" (consisting of what organizer hope will be 2,000 dancers) will move to songwriter Tena Clark's One Billion Rising theme, "Break the Chain."

What do you get when you mix nine neurotic people from seven different religions with twenty bottles of wine and a few Hebrew prayers no one can actually read? You get...Guess Who's Coming To Seder? the hilarious and heart-warming story of Sarah Friedman, who decides to hold her first Passover Seder dinner for eight of her friends: none of whom are Jewish. As the Seder progresses and the wine flows, poignant, funny and completely unexpected confessions begin pouring out of everyone at the table, revealing personal truths and conflicts about love, friendship, faith and the pursuit of freedom…and by the end of the show, no one remains the same.

Quality build, quality tone.
The response of the Gemeinhardt Model 11A alto flute is excellent through all registers, and the Y-arm mechanism is stable and strong. It is an excellent selection for school band programs in that it plays well, sounds good, and is affordable. It is designed to play with ease throughout the entire range of the instrument. The alto flute is often written for in school-oriented orchestral and concert band arrangements, and it is a wonderful sound that may serve to distinguish and motivate a student who wishes not to be just one of many in a row of flutes.
