Four Tompkins Cortland Community College student-athletes have been honored with a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Academic Student-Athlete Award. Taylor Policay (Lansing H.S./Ithaca), Kyle Shaw (Groton H.S./Groton), Sara Sinnigen (Dryden H.S./Dryden), and Hannah Wildenstein (Dryden H.S./Freeville) were each presented with the NJCAA Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement. The award, which was previously known as the NJCAA Academic All-American award, requires a minimum grade point average of 3.6. Only three percent of the nearly 60,000 student-athletes competing in the NJCAA this year received the designation.
Policay was a member of both the women's basketball and softball teams. She completed her sport management degree in May, graduating with a GPA of 3.76. On the softball diamond she earned all-conference honors after a stellar freshman season that saw her blast nine home runs, including a TC3-record two in one playoff game. Over two seasons at TC3, she started 58 of 59 softball games, leading the team in slugging percentage during that time. On the basketball court she started 17 of 22 games, averaging more than three points and six rebounds per contest.
Shaw golfed for TC3, qualifying for the NJCAA national tournament in both his freshman and sophomore years. He was the team's top scorer, and completed his academic work in business administration in May, graduating with a GPA of 3.61.
A captain on the women's soccer team, Sinnigen was a two-time all-conference selection, an NJCAA all-region choice, and an NSCAA All-American for the Panthers. A liberal arts and sciences major, she completed her coursework with a GPA of 3.71.
Wildenstein, the lone first-year student among TC3's honorees, was also a member of the women's soccer team. She started 11 games and has a GPA of 3.70 in business administration.
December 17, 2013
Tompkins Cortland Community College women's soccer player Sara Sinnigen (Dryden H.S./Dryden) has been named to the 2013 NSCAA/Continental Tire Junior College Women's Division III All-America team. Sinnigen was named to the second team as a defender. Just six defenders were among the 24 players honored as All-Americans.
Sinnigen, who also was named an all-star by the NJCAA Region III and the Mid-State Athletic Conference, started all 16 games for the Panthers and was widely considered the best defender in the region. She anchored a TC3 team that posted eight shutouts and was sixth on the team in scoring with 10 points on four goals and two assists.
A two-year captain, Sinnigen is a liberal arts and sciences-teacher education major.
November 15, 2013
Tompkins Cortland Community College sophomores Sara Sinnigen (Dryden H.S./Dryden) and Mercedes Kendall (Union-Endicott H.S./Endicott) have been voted to the NJCAA Region III all-region women's soccer team. Sinnigen was voted to the first team as a defender and Kendall made second team at midfield. A total of 26 players were honored between first and second teams in voting by the coaches in Region III, the largest region in the nation.
Sinnigen led a TC3 defense that allowed posted eight shutouts in 16 games. She was a two-year team captain and started all 16 games this season. She scored four goals and had two assists, finishing sixth on the team in scoring despite playing most of her time in the defensive end.
Kendall split time between midfield and defense and was fourth on the team in scoring with six goals and five assists. She had a pair of strings of three straight games with at least one point, helping TC3 to a 4-1-1 mark in those games.
TC3 finished the year with a record of 10-5-1. The Panthers advanced to the playoffs for the ninth-straight year, advancing to the semifinal round.
This also marks the ninth-straight year TC3 has been represented on the all-region team, and the eighth time during that span with multiple selections.

Final Fantasy XV! No DRM! Glitches! The best of Sony's press conference
Sony came into their E3 press conference this year with a single mission: deal a killing blow to the Xbox One console that had been already been wounded by weeks of PR troubles. Did they succeed?
Judging by the response in both PAR's comments and on Twitter the answer is a resounding "yes." Much of that amazing response has to do with their announcement that PS4 will undercut the Xbox One's price, and will also not restrict the sales of used games or require an always-online internet connection. Ben has already dug deep into that part of the conference, so I'll be focusing on the other parts of the show.
While Microsoft devoted a few small chunks of time to niche and indie titles, Sony kicked it up several notches by devoting a huge swath of time to announcing many of the biggest new indie titles that will be making their console debuts on PlayStation 4, and even gave Supergiant games the floor for a small presentation and trailer for their upcoming title, Transistor.
In a big demonstration, Sony trotted out the developers of Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Ray's the Dead, Don't Starve, Secret Ponchos, Outlast, Oddworld: New and Tasty, and Galak-Z to show off brief snippets of game play. They also repeatedly touted their open policy toward indie games development and renewed their committment to being the most open platform for small games.
Big new games
It wasn't just about the indie developers though, Sony also had a line-up of big AAA games as well like Killzone: Shadow Fall, which was looking mighty dapper with lush new environments and a new type of attack drone which could be used as both an offensive weapon and a defensive shield.
They also brought Square Enix into the presentation to announce that Final Fantasy vs XIII is now officially Final Fantasy XV. They also announced Kingdom Hearts 3 with a short trailer.inFamous: Second Son made an appearance as well, and gave us a closer look at some of the abilities that the main character will have at his disposal as a "bioterrorist." It introduced the world to Delsin Rowe's brother, who begins the game as one of the very authority figures Delsin is fighting against, but seems to have a change of heart later on in the trailer.
Beyond: Two Souls was back this year, and turned out to be one of the most impressive games at the show so far. The new trailer takes a far more action-oriented approach, and shows main character Jodie Holmes fighting in the military, and being turned into a weapon with CIA combat training. We'll have some coverage of this in a bit. The biggest PS4 game on display was undoubtedly Bungie's upcomging new sci-fi shooter, Destiny. A lengthy game play demo for the new game showed Tretton and Bungie's Jason Jones adventuring in the beautiful landscapes of Destiny and exploring some of its more decrepit locales. It's starting to look more like Borderlands than ever with its focus on cooperative play and randomized weapon loot drops.
Watch Dogs was being shown as well with a long demo that gave another look into the gameplay of Ubisoft's upcoming cyberpunkish thriller that showed main character Aiden Pierce once again using the city as a weapon to save friends, protect himself, and take down the authorities.
The Order: 1866, a new IP, also had an impressive trailer. I found myself totally wrapped up in the Victorian atmosphere and steampunk-ish weaponry of this new game from Sony Santa Monica and Ready at Dawn Studios. We don't know much about it, but as long as we get to play with some of the weapons and walk around the Victorian city shown in that trailer I'm happy.
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag looked amazing as usual. Few games demo as well as the Assassin's Creed games, and Black Flag might be a new high. The demonstration was full of atmosphere as the main character strode through a jovial pirate encampment, creeped through the jungles, and commanded a ship in naval warfare. The demo unfortunately crashed before the ending, but the first part of it was impressive enough, save for the technical hiccups.
Sneak peaks
Much of the rest of the show was about sneak peaks at upcoming projects. Sony trotted out Gran Turismo 6 and Drive Club to show us a couple lengthy car porn trailers for Polyphony Digital and Evolution Studios' upcoming racers. Not to mention the quick looks at some big multiplatform games like Mad Max, Batman Arkham Origins, the Elder Scrolls Online, and in what may be a first, a sneak peak at a tech demo.
You might remember the old man's face that Sony was obsessing about at their original PS4 unveiling, and today that was revealed as being part of a new tech demo from Quantic Dream, which looked incredible. On a somewhat low resolution stream I honestly had trouble discerning at times whether this was CG or real.
Up until the end, this wasn't exactly a killer show for Sony. They showcased a lot of great upcoming games, but a lot of them were multiplatform and some barely had a PS4 hook at all. Other times they were announcing PS4-exclusive content for multiplatform games which is always something that makes gamers groan. I was excited to hear that their game streaming deal with Gaikai is apparently going to be rolled out sometime in 2014 and will offer a library of PS3 games. It's exciting, but it's also a ways off.
They also went into a lengthy talk about movies and their new Red Box Instant service and generally a lot of movie-and-tv stuff that gamers weren't looking to hear after Microsoft's hour-long tv love fest last month. They did announce that Sony Pictures would be working on content exclusively to PS4 that will be tailored specifically for gamers which could be interesting. Although I'm not really sure what "tailored for gamers" actually means.
Overall, Sony nailed the two parts of the show that actually mattered: games and a commitment to the status quo. Their long list of great AAA and indie titles made them a contender in this year's upcoming console battle, and their committment to the current style of buying and selling used games may have sealed the deal.

Hey I just dropped out of school to pursue what I really love doing, which happens to be climbing and being outdoors. I've been climbing a lot of sport 10/11s and I'm looking into becoming a guide but I need trad experience. So if anyone is willing to take me up and show me a little about placing protection, I'm dependable, cautious, and free anytime any day of the week. 360-420-4643
Where are you Gunnar? I'd love to climb with you if you happen to be in CO.
I'm in Boulder and I have a car so I can definitely travel if need be.
I'm in Boulder also. I'll give a call later today & we can arrange a climb. Cheers.
I've been trying to get folks on board for a Grade III in RMNP. If this is of interest I was kind of thinking Culp-Bossier (.8+) I know the AMGA requires at least 10 grade III's on your resume, so this is a step in the right direction.
Yeah that would be pretty ideal! just let me know when you plan to go and the rest of the details and I'm in

SONOMA -- I had heard the name often. In fact, I even read it in a New York Times article Aug. 2, when a University of Oregon official admitted school recruiters use the name when trying to impress high school athletes.
"We embrace it," was what the school official said of the name.
So I thought I wasn't being offensive Monday when I asked Casey Martin a question using the name.
"So what is it like coaching at the University of Nike?"
Martin, the golf coach at Oregon, grimaced, shook his head, took a few steps back in the lobby of the Sonoma Golf Club and raised his hands in front of him as if to repel the question.
"I coach at the University of Oregon," said Martin, clearly irritated. That's all he said in response. There will be no discussing the matter. His intent was obvious. Martin wanted to make sure I knew he was being paid by a NCAA Division I university, which sounds a bit more lofty and intellectually pleasing than getting his paycheck from a company that does a great job of selling running shoes.
Martin was in town with his Oregon golfers, one of 16 NCAA teams competing in the two-day Alister MacKenzie Invitational, named after the designer of the golf course. As well-appointed and designed as the Sonoma Golf Club is, the clubhouse would look like a tool shed if it was placed next to a Phil Knight-approved and paid-for structure on the Eugene campus.
Knight is co-founder and chairman of Nike, the sports apparel company that has placed Knight's net worth in 2012 at $14.4 billion. Knight, an Oregon alum, has donated more than $300 million to the university, which includes the $68 million, six-story Football Performance Center, 145,000 square feet divided among three buildings. Ventilation systems exist in each locker. Stones from China make up the ground floor plaza. Extra-large furniture was tested to withstand 500 pounds. Coaches have their own locker room with a hydrotherapy pool.

Do you ever wish you could jut win a bunch of money? I know first hand how hard it can be logistically to have gainful employment. I mean shoot, I live in Michigan, we've had a recession 5 years longer than the rest of the country. And to make matters worse, personal issues happened and I don't really have a car. I have a vehicle I can use but its not mine. The point is we all know its rough in the economy to make a mark financially. Still, there ARE ways to make money online,like blogging, being a virtual assistant, entering contests, etc. and playing games online for money. And I am just getting into entering local contests. I might only win prizes but I can sell them to earn money too so I am looking into that while I am off on summer break right now.
It still makes you wonder how people are winning these cash prizes and the lottery. I mean seems if the country was so bad off the lotto would be suffering too since most people can't usually afford to blow $5 on tickets. Still the lotto is swelling. I even went to a casino here in Michigan a couple weekends ago and the place was packed. Either I am jaded or the economy is doing better than I thought.
There is always the various ways to win money online. I am a member of the site Online-Swepstakes and I like to enter contests that way. I have not won money prizes yet but I have won various prizes. I am pretty lucky and win a lot of stuff but have never won money. There is also places like BingoPalace that have online bingo but you can play with real money. Bingo has a soft spot for me because my grandmother used to keep me for a whole week every summer and she let me come to Bingo with her. She played for fun but when I went she won! She let me have a whole dollar each time she won and back in the 80′s, that was awesome yard sale money! I love bingo to this day because of her and play it for fun online every now and again. Someday I might actually play with real money!

Gaiman, an Englishman by birth, has obviously been closely observing his new home. American Gods is a big book, filled with vivid imagery, wacky locations, vigorous writing and intriguing, if sometimes scary, ideas and characters.
From the start we realize something odd is going on. People don't usually watch a passenger leave on a plane, then run into the same person at a bar in the next small town. Young men with eyes the color of old computer monitors, smoking something that smells like burning electrical parts, don't usually get driven around in large limos by large men who are more than willing to do their bidding. From the shocking beginning - which we won't spoil for you - onward, Gaiman takes us across the country, stopping off at some famous roadside attractions as well as some lesser known spots: the House on the Rock in Wisconsin figures prominently, as does Lebanon, Kansas, the exact center of America. But, as Gaiman notes in a Caveat, and Warning for Travelers, "This is a work of fiction, not a guidebook."
In American Gods there are pre-Columbus visits to these shores by Norwegians, Polynesians, Irish, Chinese and more. When these visitors died out, left or were killed, Gaiman explains, their gods stayed behind. Sometimes they changed form, grew or shrank, but they were always present.
The old gods' existence is threatened by the new gods, such as Media and Cancer. One of the old harsh gods has a plan to survive, and he will do whatever it takes to claw his way back to power.
American Gods will draw you in, make you want to drive or take the train across the country to experience the vastness that is the USA. Following the journeys taken in the book would make a heck of a road trip, but you'll be praying the events of the novel don't happen to you.

cassette 0-694-52549-9An ex-convict is the wandering knight-errant who traverses the wasteland of Middle America, in this ambitious, gloriously funny, and oddly heartwarming latest from the popular fantasist (Stardust, 1999, etc.).Released from prison after serving a three-year term, Shadow is immediately rocked by the news that his beloved wife Laura has been killed in an automobile accident. While en route to Indiana for her funeral, Shadow meets an eccentric businessman who calls himself Wednesday (a dead giveaway if you're up to speed on your Norse mythology), and passively accepts the latter's offer of an imprecisely defined job. The story skillfully glides onto and off the plane of reality, as a series of mysterious encounters suggest to Shadow that he may not be in Indiana anymore--or indeed anywhere on Earth he recognizes. In dreams, he's visited by a grotesque figure with the head of a buffalo and the voice of a prophet--as well as by Laura's rather alarmingly corporeal ghost. Gaiman layers in a horde of other stories whose relationships to Shadow's adventures are only gradually made clear, while putting his sturdy protagonist through a succession of tests that echo those of Arthurian hero Sir Gawain bound by honor to surrender his life to the malevolent Green Knight, Orpheus braving the terrors of Hades to find and rescue the woman he loves, and numerous other archetypal figures out of folklore and legend. Only an ogre would reveal much more about this big novel's agreeably intricate plot. Suffice it to say that this is the book that answers the question: When people emigrate to America, what happens to the gods they leave behind?A magical mystery tour through the mythologies of all cultures, a unique and moving love story--and another winner for the phenomenally gifted, consummately reader-friendly Gaiman.Author tour Copyright Kirkus 2001 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved
Library Journal Reviews 2011 February #1
More than a million copies of this novel have been sold in three formats in this country alone, and upon publication it won the Hugo, Locus, Bram Stoker, and SFX awards. So why a new edition? There's a new introduction, the author's "preferred" text--that is, the text before it got edited, with Gaiman's original language sprinkled throughout--and a bonus scene. This would seem like a natural for many collections, especially where the original is worn out, so I find the 50,000-copy first printing a little low.[Page 44]. (c) Copyright 2010.

Teachers and school board members in the Catlin School District will soon meet with a federal mediator to try to close the gap that is preventing a new contract agreement with teachers.
The two sides last met Sept. 20, a meeting that proved underwhelming for both groups.
"It wasn't very productive," Catlin Superintendent Gary Lewis said.
Similarly, Lezlie Holman, President of the Catlin Faculty Organization, said they ended that evening in the exact same position from where they started.
"No movement was made at all," Holman said.
It was jointly agreed that night they would file for a federal mediator to try to help the stalemate. Teachers have been working without a contract since July 1. The groups have now met four times since July.
Holman said the teachers' bargaining unit went into this last meeting fairly optimistic, but were again disheartened by the failure of counter proposals from the school board.
Teachers have offered two separate salary proposals, but Holman said the district negotiating team didn't offer counters because "they were too high to give them any incentive to do so."
Lewis did not want to comment on specific items being contested between the two sides, instead keeping the details between them at the meeting table, negotiating there.
Catlin teachers contend the current salary schedule is anti-productive to growing a seasoned educator base in the district. While starting salaries are nearly identical to districts similar in size and scope, as Catlin teachers gain experience and more education, there is a salary gap. That gap, says Holman, is at least partially to blame for the 35 percent turnover rate for newer teachers the last two years at Catlin High School.
For salary comparison purposes, Catlin teachers are looking to Bismarck schools because the two have the closest per pupil educational expense in the county.
To demonstrate the salary gap, one comparison made is between a Catlin and Bismarck teacher who each have 20 years experience and a master's degree. The Catlin teacher makes $44,552, while the Bismarck teacher makes $58,368.
The CFO has suggested the district take 10 percent of its education fund reserves balance to fund a salary schedule overhaul.
Lewis said the education fund took more than a $300,000 hit last fiscal year, reducing the fund balance to around $900,000. Deficit spending to the tune of $500,000 is budgeted for the 2012-2013 school year.
"We just have a lack of funds coming in," Lewis said, who noted that spending on the whole has been in line, with less spending occurring last year.
He said there is less money coming in because of a stagnant equalized assessed valuation, no increase in enrollment and reduced revenue from state aid.
Teachers plan an informational picket during tonight's regularly scheduled school board meeting at 7 p.m. at the district office. Holman said some of the 44 CFO members will be handing out informational fliers to the people who are there, which will disclose their position on issues and reasoning behind their unhappiness with the negotiation process thus far.
"Our goal is to educate the public and let people in Catlin know exactly what is going on in negotiations," Holman said.
Both sides remain hopeful for a successful conclusion and are looking forward to the October 22 meeting with the federal mediator.
"We just want to keep the process moving and get to a resolution," Lewis said.
Holman said they would like to feel optimistic and are doing more than going through the motions.
"We are very hopeful," Holman said. "We want a contract. We are hoping to get one."

Four-star ships designed with American standards in mind
Our worldwide fleet of privately owned vessels—many of which are award-winning—were custom-built or extensively refurbished especially to meet the needs of our travelers. Whether you're cruising an iconic European river or sailing the storied waters of the Mediterranean, you'll enjoy the warm camaraderie of your exclusively American fellow travelers. Share stories in your ship's welcoming lounge or relax on the Sun Deck with a cool drink. Enjoy single, open seating; freshly prepared, regionally-inspired cuisine; and unparalleled service in our window-lined dining room. And take comfort in knowing that your ship's professional staff—all fluent in English—will always be on hand and at your service.
Our River Cruise & Small Ships are Tops!
We're thrilled that Grand Circle Cruise Line was—for the second straight year—ranked the #1 "World's Best River Cruise Line" in Condé Nast Traveler's 2013 Readers' Choice Awards—and named to the magazine's prestigious Gold List and Platinum Circle for 2014. Plus, 15 of our privately owned ships were ranked among the "Top 100 Cruise Ships in the World" 2014 Readers' Poll, with the M/V Artemis and M/V Arethusa taking the top two spots on the "Top 20 Small Cruise Ships in the World" list.
Small ships designed with you in mind
When Grand Circle Cruise Line decided to build our own line of small ships, we polled our travelers to learn what specifications and amenities they desired on a cruise vacation. We took these suggestions and incorporated them into the design of our custom-built River Cruise and Mediterranean small ships, which launched between 1999 and 2007. As the worldwide leader in small ship and river cruising, our entire fleet caters exclusively to American travelers.
Relax in your outside cabin
Because all of our cabins line the outside wall of the ship, you'll always have views of the passing scenery. Most cabins are 150-215 sq. ft. in area (Cabins aboard the M/S River Allegro are approximately 120 sq. ft.) and include twin beds. On our European river ships, our staff converts them into daytime couches. Each cabin also offers closet and storage space, a desk with vanity mirror, a private bath with shower, a direct-dial telephone, and a flat-screen TV. Certain cabins also feature balconies.
Casual style in an intimate setting
After a day of exploring charming ports, medieval castles, or ancient ruins, you'll appreciate the relaxed camaraderie of your private small ship. Sit back and enjoy an aperitif in the bar and lounge. Join friends on the panoramic Sun Deck to watch a sunset. Your English-speaking staff wants you to have an unforgettable experience, and will do whatever they can to see that you do!
Travel safe, sound, and carefree
Technology has helped to make the world's waterways safer and easier to navigate than ever. Our shipboard radar ensures careful navigation at night and in low visibility. For example, you'll enjoy a landmark transit of the canal that links the Main and Danube rivers—an engineering feat completed in 1992.

Folk singer performs satire at sunset
Date: September 2, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Katz, the 60-year-old frontman of the popular blues-influenced ragtime act The Jigsaw Jug Band, was joined by several friends and local musicians for his first performance in three years under Sarasota Sailing Squadron's idyllic open-air pavilion.
Singer Carolyn Dunn lent her deep vocal harmonies. Dave Buescher played the fiddle, and Susan Gaar, Katz's girlfriend, played the crowd-pleasing kazoo and washboard.
"The squadron is a beautiful venue with a wonderful stage," says Katz, who debuted several new songs — in addition to a freshly shorn beard — following performances by Joe Virga, Dennis Brock, Daina Shukis and folk duo Carl Wade and Barbara Shaffer. "I'm very appreciative for the opportunity to play here. The audience that turns out every month for these concerts is very loyal."
A guitar instructor at Sarasota Military Academy, Katz recently released the album, "K Street," a parody-laden tribute to the country's recent infatuations with everything from health food to President Barack Obama.
"My music runs the gamut from folk to ragtime, to blues and ballads," says Katz, who, despite his semi-autobiographical song, "I Have a Life Outside of Facebook," has 108 friends on the social networking site.
A musician for 35 years, Katz grew up in New Bedford, Mass., a New England town made famous by Herman Melville's mythical white whale. It is no coincidence that Katz shares his first name with the novel's protagonist. He legally changed it to Ishmael more than 20 years ago.
"I've been playing for a loooong time," says Katz. "I have a couple of incarnations. Sometimes I play solo. Sometimes I play with a jug band, and sometimes I just invite my friends to jam with me."

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Health-care providers across the region are preparing for increased mandates to protect themselves — and their patients — from the influenza virus.
The New York State Department of Health is requiring all health-care workers who have not been vaccinated against the flu to wear protective masks during the flu season while working in areas where patients may be present.
"When the commissioner (of the State Department of Health) gives the word (that the flu season is prevalent in a particular area), then we need to be up and running (with the new policy)," said Joanne Swiesz, director of Patient Services for the Clinton County Health Department.
"It's our way to help protect the public," she added. "If we're going to talk the talk (by recommending the public receives flu vaccinations), then we need to walk the walk."
The Clinton County Health Department and other health-care facilities across the region have been promoting flu vaccines for staff members over the past several years, but the formalized requirements from the State Health Department will enhance statewide record keeping, Swiesz noted.
"As we submit more formal reports, the state will have a better handle on how many (providers) received their vaccinations," she said.
The increased emphasis on flu vaccinations will enhance the department's efforts to educate the public about the importance of vaccinations and the dangers of the virus, she added.
"The flu can be very dangerous, especially for the elderly and the very young," she said. "Today, there are so many different ways to deliver the vaccine, (including) high-dose vaccines for people over 65, which is very effective in protecting seniors."
CVPH Medical Center has also begun emphasizing the new mandates by recently offering a free clinic for all staff members.
The hospital has been providing flu vaccines for its employees and volunteers for several years, with as many as 1,500 people receiving the shots annually.
This year, more than 1,600 people received the vaccine during the one-day clinic, and the shots remain available for those who have not yet been vaccinated.
"We've always believed this is an effective safety measure for our patients," said Erica Wood, infection-prevention manager for the hospital. "This year, we have adopted the new policy (of requiring staff members to wear masks if they have not received the vaccine)."
That policy will be initiated on Oct. 31, Wood noted.
Nationwide, fewer than half of all health-care workers are vaccinated against the flu. Although both the Clinton County Health Department and CVPH respect the wishes of those workers who choose not to be vaccinated, Swiesz and Wood both acknowledged the benefits of increased vaccinations.
Another factor to consider at health-care settings is the arrival of visitors and family members. If people are not feeling well, they should not visit a health-care facility, and if there's any suspicion that a visitor may be coming down with something, masks are usually available at the entrance of facilities.
"The new requirement is meant to protect us (providers) as well," Sweiz said of patients who may come into the health-care setting not knowing they have the influenza virus.
"People often mistake the cold for the flu, but there is a major difference between the two," Wood said. "When you've got the flu, you know it. You're sick for several days; your whole body feels like it's getting beaten up."
Even still, people can carry and spread the virus before they actually come down with symptoms, she added.
Hospital staff members are required to wear protective masks in areas of the facility where infection is a high priority, but on Oct. 31, providers who have not been vaccinated against the flu will be required to wear masks whenever working with patients.
There have been no confirmed cases of the flu in the North Country this season, but providers are recommending that everyone receive a flu vaccination. There are no vaccine shortages; they are available at most pharmacies across the region.
The flu season typically runs from autumn to early spring in the North Country, with numbers usually peaking after the new year. A single vaccination covers the entire season, but it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to become effective once a person receives the dose.

County health officials are reporting the year's first human case of West Nile Virus out of Newport Beach this week and warning residents to stay aware of the buzz.
According to a report from the Orange County Health Care Agency, a Newport Beach man in his 30s, a Laguna Niguel woman in her 50s and a Lake Forest man in his 80s each tested positive for West Nile Virus in September. This year across Orange County, there have been a total of 45 human cases of WNV confirmed ― more than four times as many cases as all of last year. No deaths have been attributed to the virus so far this year.
"It is ramping up," Deanne Thompson, the agency's spokeswoman, told Patch. "But this year has not been high compared to when it peaked in 2008, and we had 79 total infections."
Recent years have also been fairly low in terms of WNV human cases. Thompson said in 2011 there were 10 cases, followed by one case in 2010 and four cases in 2009. The last WNV fatalities were reported in 2008.
"We've had some very low years," Thompson added.
Along with the human cases, the Orange County Vector Control District reports 109 OC birds have died from WNV this year in cities including Newport Beach, Fountain Valley, Laguna Beach, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Mission Viejo and San Juan Capistrano.
Jared Dever, district spokesman, says residents should always keep their guard up against WNV because it's a threat year-round.
"Our mild climate does allow mosquitoes that primarily breed in the summer months to continue breeding at a greatly reduced rate during the winter months," Dever explained. "To believe that there is an absence of risk would be a dangerous assumption."
Dever says most people who are infected with WNV do not show symptoms, but those who do get sick typically experience fever, headache, nausea, body aches, mild skin rash or swollen lymph nodes. Elderly people are most susceptible for WNV, and in rare cases, WNV will progress to encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. One in 150 people will need to be hospitalized.
"The time between the mosquito bite and the onset of illness, known as the incubation period, ranges from 3-15 days in humans," Dever said. "There is no specific treatment for infection with WNV."
OCVCD treats all known mosquito breeding sites around the county, and routinely conducts ground and aerial surveillance to identify new sources.
But there are precautions that residents should take against WNV, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.
- Avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
- Avoid shady and wooded areas during daytime hours.
- Wear light colored, long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors.
- Apply insect repellents that contain the active ingredient DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or other EPA approved repellent to exposed skin or clothing. Always following the manufacturer's directions for use.
- Maintain window and door screening to help keep mosquitoes out of buildings.
- Empty water from mosquito breeding sites such as buckets, unused kiddie pools, old tires or similar sites where mosquitoes lay eggs.
More information on mosquito control is available on the Orange County Vector Control District's web site at ocvcd.org. Find out more WNV prevention tips at ochealthinfo.com.

LAWRENCE — A Lawrence man confined to his house wearing an electronic ankle bracelet, was busted at his residence yesterday on charges of continuing to deal heroin and crack cocaine from his backyard, police said.
James Glover, 53, 198 Water St., was arrested after the city's Street Narcotic Enforcement Unit, along with a SWAT team, executed a search warrant on the home at 7:10 a.m. He was charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.
Police Chief John Romero said Glover was on federal probation on charges of selling drugs and was being confined to his home on a GPS bracelet. He was ordered not to leave his home, unless there was a scheduled meeting with probation officers, he said.
"It appears he wasn't going to let a bracelet get in the way of his dealings," Romero said.
Glover cooperated during the search showing police where the drugs were hidden. Three twists of heroin and two twists of crack cocaine were recovered in an electric outlet box in the back of the home, according to the report.
He then took police in the backyard and began digging in the sand, the report said. Police recovered a pill bottle with 12 twists of heroin and seven twists of crack cocaine inside.
In all, approximately 10.9 grams of heroin and 6.7 grams of crack cocaine were recovered.
Police seized $4,580 from a safe inside the home.
Romero said there have been over 600 arrests made by the Street Narcotic Enforcement Unit since April.
He said police are targeting drug dealers through out the entire city because drugs fuel most of its crime.
"If we can reduce drugs, we can reduce crime across the board," Romero said.

King Hiram of Tyre not only helped David build his palace, but also sent to Solomon (961-922 BCE) famous Lebanon cedars and cypress wood for the construction of his famous temple (1 Kings 9:11, 2 Chronicles 2:3). Both the chief architect and the master workers for the First Temple, constructed under Solomon's rule, were in fact Tyrians. Lebanon's cedar trees were highly prized throughout the Middle East - so much so, in fact, that today only small tracts survive high in the Lebanese mountains.
In exchange for all this help Solomon transferred to Hiram's control the Galilean district of Cabul. This area included twenty cities, but Hiram doesn't appear to have liked them very much (1 Kings 9:11-14). The agricultural importance of the region was much more important. The grain and olive oil produced here might have allowed Tyre to cease agricultural imports, no minor feat. Tyre's lack of significant inland agricultural resources for itself was an important factor in its lower status when compared to Sidon in the north. Jerusalem itself became a significant consumer of Phoenician goods.
Later Hiram and Solomon joined forces to create a large merchant fleet, piloted by Phoenician sailors. These ships were constructed on the Red Sea and designed for the sole purpose of opening up trade to the east. In theory, they could have travelled as far as India, but precise records for their voyages no longer exist.
At the very least, this demonstrates that economic and political relations between the Israelites and the Phoenicians - who may have called themselves Canaanites in ancient times - could be very close, very strong, and very productive.

A hazardous materials incident drew crews to a Scottsdale bus stop where a woman reported she had been hit by a suspicious substance Thursday afternoon, police said.
An occupant of a passing vehicle threw a gallon-sized plastic jug out of the window, said Scottsdale police spokesman Officer Dave Pubins. When the jug struck the ground, it broke open, causing powder inside to get onto the victim.
The 20-year-old woman rode the bus to her workplace near 90th Street and Shea and then walked to a nearby hospital, where was treated for neck irritation, Pubins said.
Hayden Road northbound at McDowell was closed for about two hours during the investigation.
The substance was tested at the scene. Initial results did not indicate the substance posed any hazard. The substance is being tested at the State Lab for a final analysis.
Crews examined the bus and the bus stop and said they were OK.
Hazardous material crews from Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix rushed to the scene, said Mesa Fire Department spokesman Forrest Smith.

When sentencing Mehserle, judge said race is irrelevant to Oscar Grant case
Transcript of Block Report interview with Jack Bryson by Minister of Information JR broadcast Nov. 26 on Flashpoints' National Police Terrorism Special
Jack Bryson: Oh, I'm fine. How are you, JR?
M.O.I. JR: I'm good. We've all heard about the sentence [of two years minus time served and time for good behavior, reducing the sentence given to killer cop Johannes Mehserle by Judge Robert Perry to about seven months] and are disappointed with the sentence. How would you and your sons … how do you feel about the sentence?
Jack: I'm not feeling that at all and … I mean … it's not good. I couldn't believe it. And people are telling me, what did I expect? But with a video and so much community support and the way the community rallied around this and the key witnesses and the video, I thought that for once things were going to change.
But Judge Perry made sure history repeated itself. No matter what, he wasn't going to give us a victory.
M.O.I. JR: You were on many fronts fighting this campaign and from somebody who was on the front line, you were one of the most visible spokespeople for Oscar Grant and all his friends that were there that night, including your two sons.
You know, a lot of people were like, "We have the video. We had expert testimony." I know your son Jackie Bryson had a lot of good things to say [when he testified powerfully at the Mehserle trial] in terms of showing that [BART Officer Tony] Pirone, Mehsherle and their whole crew was on basically some type of police gang-banging thing. How does this make you feel about the system?
Jack: We have police brutality and now we have some type of system brutality. I mean here we are: Judge Perry in that courtroom the day of the sentencing towards the end he said that race has nothing to do with this, that race played no part in his decision and race played no part in Johannes Mehsherle or the BART police officers or race played no part in this.
If race didn't play a part in this, why was he afraid to let Blacks on the jury? You know, why was it an all-white jury selected if race had nothing to do with it? Why was he afraid to have Blacks on the jury if race didn't play a part in it?
Why was Oscar Grant called a "nigger" three times before he was murdered? And Judge Perry says race didn't have nothing to do with it. And then he turns around and asks the DA, did he even bring this case? He didn't want this case.
And then he asked [Deputy District Attorney] David Stein and he told David Stein to meet with the district attorney. And now I know why he handcuffed David Stein, because he told the DA that Oakland had never even filed charges against Johannes Mehserle because Johannes Mehserle and Pirone were just doing their job.
Why was Oscar Grant called a "nigger" three times before he was murdered? And Judge Perry says race didn't have nothing to do with it.
It was Oscar who caused his own death. It was Jackie Bryson who caused Oscar's death. It was Michael Grier who caused Oscar's death. It was all the young men on the platform who caused Oscar's death, not Johannes Mehserle.
M.O.I. JR: This is what the judge said?
Jack: This is what the judge said, that Oscar caused his own death by resisting Mehserle. If he would have just listened to Mehserle, if he would not have resisted, he would be alive. It's not Johannes Mehserle's fault.
M.O.I. JR: Now, that's hard to accept when people really know the facts of the case, such as yourself and myself, in terms of … I mean Oscar was listening to what the police were telling him when Oscar Grant took the picture of Johannes Mehserle pointing a taser in his face. That was one which we believe proves that this was murder because in order for Mehserle to then shoot Oscar, he had to put the taser up and pull out his gun.
Jack: And remember, he took out the taser twice. The first time he took it out and pointed it at Jackie. Then he put it back and took it out again and he pointed it at Oscar.
And then he put his taser back again, and then he went to hitting Jackie, handcuffed Jackie and jumped on Oscar; and he said, "Fuck this," and shot Oscar.
M.O.I. JR: And this is after him calling him a "bitch ass nigger" three times?
Jack: Three times, while he was on the ground. And while he was on the ground, remember, we discovered that Oscar's skull was fractured from the impact of the punches and from the impact of him being slammed to the ground.
Judge Perry said they were just doing their job. And remember this: When we were in Alameda County, all three judges believed that Johannes Mehserle intended to kill Oscar Grant. But then we get to Los Angeles, where they said we would get a fair trial, and this man [Judge Perry] did everything he could to let the [defense attorney] have his way. This is what you call fairness?
"And while he was on the ground, remember, we discovered that Oscar's skull was fractured from the impact of the punches and from the impact of him being slammed to the ground."
M.O.I. JR: Right, you know, this is what they call justice.
Jack: Justice, right. How do I look at my sons and the rest of the young men? I mean they're caught up in history, they've witnessed history and here they are, the same type of behavior that Judge Sabo [who was overheard saying, "Yeah, and I'm going to help them fry the nigger"] performed in the case of Mumia is the same type of behavior Judge Perry performed in the Oscar Grant murder case.
M.O.I. JR: You're right. They threw [away] the evidence and just went with whatever argument saves the police's face.
Jack: Right. It's the same treatment Mumia got. It's the same thing Oscar Grant's family and the community got.
M.O.I. JR: Now, Jack, you and me were talking earlier and you were telling me about December 3rd. What happens December 3rd?
Jack: Michael Raines is trying to get … he is getting a new trial on the gun enhancement.
M.O.I. JR: For those of you who don't know, Michael Raines is Johannes Mehserle's lawyer.
Jack: Correct, and what he's trying to do is get … while he's going for a new trial he's trying to get Mehserle out on bail. And there's a bail hearing December 3rd, and I believe what the judge did to us on November 5th, he's going to grant them the bail and he could be out for two years before he has even served his prison time while they try to overturn the verdict.
M.O.I. JR: And that's what they call justice in America.
Jack: I mean look at O.J. Simpson. I mean 33 years for something he was set up on: 33 years. Look at Michael Vick, four years for dogs.
M.O.I. JR: Well, look let me even point the contradiction out even with that. They give Michael Vick four years for killing dogs, and we all know Vick is a professional football player where they play football with a pigskin football every time they have a game. But yet he served more time than Johannes Mehserle, who murdered a Black man on tape and brutalized his friends and traumatized his friends, basically giving them issues that they have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
Jack: Right, and it's like this: Say if I killed you and got away with it. Now your family is finding out that I'm getting out of jail. How would that make your family feel? And people seeing what I did to you and now this person who killed my friend is now getting out of jail. What happens if I cross them again?
At the same Fruitvale BART station where Oscar Grant was killed. One of the leading officers who committed perjury on the stand, Officer [unintelligible]! I don't know his first name. He was there for the Derrick Jones rally, when BART officers lined up, setting up the walls for the protestors.
And he was removed after I starting raising questions: "Are you serious? What is this dude doing here?" He participated in a murder and then you're letting him back on the scene where there's high tension and you're letting him participate in a rally.
M.O.I. JR: Who made that call and for what purpose? I think it's definitely a question that the people need to ask.
Jack: Let me just tell you this. I had to look at him: Why is this officer holding his billy club and his gun the same way he was standing there when Oscar Grant was murdered? This officer is back at the Fruitvale Station looking at my son Jackie and Jackie is looking at him.
M.O.I. JR: For people who don't know, Derrick Jones was a man that was murdered [three days after] Oscar Grant's sentencing went down. He was an unarmed Black man who was murdered by the Oakland Police Department.
Jack, when you had to come back to Oakland – because I know you were in the courtroom [in Los Angeles] for [the Mehserle] sentencing – and you woke up the next morning [after you returned] and you saw what you saw on TV or in the newspaper or on the radio, what was your reaction, what was your response? What were some of the first things that went through your mind when you found out that Derrick Jones had just been killed?
Jack: When I was on the airplane flying back, I said there were two messages Judge Perry was going to send back. I said if Judge Perry gave Mehserle 14 years, OK, that would send a message to the police officers, put them on their toes. But what he did for Johannes Mehserle, he gave him practically a pass to go home because he got two years with 299 days served on a violent crime.
Now the message he sent is, "I'm going with the police officers." So that sent a message, with the video with Oscar Grant being killed, that these police officers can continue to run this system the way they want to, judging by Judge Perry, who will make sure police officers will not go to jail.
So Judge Perry sent several messages to other judges like: We can't lock our white people up for what they do to young Black men. That was the message that was sent.
So Judge Perry sent several messages to other judges like: We can't lock our white people up for what they do to young Black men.
M.O.I. JR: I don't think you could have said it more eloquently. Jack, are there any last words that you want to leave the listeners as to where this campaign is going?
Jack: Right now I'm still stung, I'm still hurt about what happened November 5th. It's affected me real bad, so imagine how it's affected the other men on the platform, the family members. So right now I'm hoping that we can do something to rally to get the Department of Justice. They have to get into this.
I mean, there's no closure for the family, the friends. I mean there's no closure for what Judge Perry did. When Johannes Mehserle goes home, what do you really think the families are going to feel? It's like history repeating itself all over again from the 1800s to the 1500s. It's 2010 and it's still continuing.
M.O.I. JR: Right, only thing that has changed are the uniforms. I want to urge our Block Report listeners to get in touch with influential people that you might know in government, get you guys to pressure Barbara Lee in the Congressional Black Caucus as well as the Latino Caucus , the Asian Caucus as well as White congresspeople that we have that are around California, everybody that we can get in touch with. We need them. And let them know that they need to get [Attorney General] Eric Holder and the Obama federal government to investigate this case.
But let's take this as far as we can take it, exhaust every means that we can exhaust, and then we can get back to the drawing board. And once we are all on the point where we can't work through the system, then we can all move accordingly.
So, Mr. Bryson, I want to thank you for coming up here. I want to thank you for your courage throughout the justice for Oscar Grant campaign. I know you were an inspiration and I know you are definitely somebody who has inspired me even within the face of such a difficult catastrophe as the murder of two of your sons' good friend right in front of your children's eyes.
You still maintained your position on the front line, making sure this didn't get swept under the rug. I know we didn't get the big win, but the smaller win is that we as a community mobilized behind something for a change.
And also around the nation people know about Oscar Grant. I would say dealing with the West Coast, the West Coast didn't have a national police terrorism case since Rodney King. People thought that LA, Oakland – their police don't get down like Philadelphia or New York. This case proves otherwise.
And like you said before, whether it's the 1500s or 2010, they showed their true colors and we got it out there to the world to not be duped by the fact that President Obama is Black. It still means nothing when it comes down to the Black communities who are getting terrorized at a catastrophic level.

Oscar Grant was a thug. Not saying he deserved to be shot but he certainly shares much of the blame.↓
Hussain Taylor
Well what are you saying?
If his skull was fractured by the police and he lay handcuffed on the ground face down, how would anyone other than a murdering thug pull a gun and shoot another human. Let us personalize it a bit and see if you form a different, more humane posture.
Maybe if it were you you, your son or daughter or mother, riding the train with a group of white youths who were deemed unruly and you or your relatives just happened to be on the that train. In the midst of the "unruly youths and the police response you or your son, daughter or mother is thrown to the ground, had their skull fractured, been hand cuffed placed face down and shot.
You would have a different statement to make. Well what makes it so different when it is YOUR family? It is the same cops, same policy, same guns. It is news/shocking to have such a violent police action, in some communities, in other communities it has happened far too often, for far too long.
No one deserves to be shot in the back and killed (BY ANYONE LET ALONE THE TRAINED POLICE) while laying on the ground, handcuffed, with a fractured skull…………..NO ONE!!!!
We could call you, your daughter, your son or your mom names and say they caused their own death and few with disagree, particularly after the media colors the event as a crowd of unruly Youth (be they Black or White) and justify the police action that caused the death of anyone as the leader of the chaos, or resisting. Open your eyes. The test of any situation is to personalize it, how would you want to be treated? How would you want your mom, dad, daughter or son treated. Oscar was someone's son.↓

Caleb Duxbury, Memorial# 8586108
Nikita, Thanks so much for posting such wonderful items!
I have a question about the memorial for Caleb Duxbury, who was buried at Christ Church Cemetery, Belleville, NJ. The quote is FANTASTIC and has some great hints for research, going further. Could you tell me where the information came from? Is it from a book, or other cemetery inventory?
Thanks very much,

Hi Nikita,

A cemtery transcription was made in 1917 and a complete list of existing headstones at its publication. There was no other Charity Hart on the list. I believe your memorial is the same person.

RE: Maud Munn
Thanks Nikita. The snow is just a product of the season. I review cameras for a living and need to get out in the field to shoot year round. We had an awful winter and I was trudging through hip deep snow on more than one occasion.
I hope to get back and photograph that one again. The shot that worked the best for me was one I took just for myself (ie, not for a review) with a 1950 Rolleiflex TLR. The film transport can get wonky on the first frame which resulted in a partial double exposure. http://jimfisher.smugmug.com/2014/2014-02-02-Mount-Pleasant/i-S6X9fn9/A

Mr. /Mrs/Miss and/or Ms N. Barlow;
Hello across the North River!
Thanks, I guess that is the best word here with four letters for your very curt inter-mail.
Having a name given at birth given to me on a Certificate as well, it was/is showing.
I to my knowledge am the only one , well I have certified documentation from 321 a.d. that none of my kinsmen have had my name either.
Maybe you do not know how to address people properly nor well. Or is it the time you have to use.. what 8 NJ NANO Seconds..
Deleting the photograph on the Find a Grave memorial from the memorial which you made, was a simple menial task. But why did not you list the URL and/or Find A Grave #? Glad I am not sending you Billable hours. Even you make a lot of mistakes. Look over your additions on Ancestry.
Your work on here is ok. But the way you IMHO ask sure needs a lot of professional learning. Threats as you used are a libel situation.
I never saw you at Princeton nor Harvard before the administrations have changed. I guess you did not not have nor, obtained any Doctorates.
See you are not in the SAR even. You may want to join, if your able to.
Hope this helps you more now.
Will pray for you to have vision, patience, and learn a lot more.
