SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. -- Saranac Lake Police are looking for two men accused in connection with a shooting. It happened shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday. The 55-year-old male victim called 911 and told police he was shot on the train trestle near Pine Street in Saranac Lake. He said he came across two men while walking on the tracks. One of them pulled a gun and demanded he give them what he had.
The victim says he pushed the gun away and a shot was fired, hitting him in the shoulder. One of the suspects took cash out of his wallet and they took off.
Police believe the suspects knew the victim. They are described as two males, ages 25 to 35. Both were around five feet, eight inches tall. They were wearing dark parka-type jackets. One was clean shaven with shaggy hair. The other had a fairly thick beard.
Anyone with information is asked to call Saranac Lake Police at (518) 891-4422.

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th-century writers focused on sensational aspects, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence.The story as depicted in this collection begins in the colonial era, describing the bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia's Native American inhabitants. It depicts the evolution of a farm- and forest-society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns and mining industries penetrated into the mountains. Diaries, journals and narratives of explorers, emigrants, military men, Native Americans and travelers are complemented by accounts of the development of farming and mining communities, family histories and folklore.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

All birds need to be bathed, and theres a perch for that! These perches attach to smooth surfaces like walls and windows with large suction cups. If your tile is bumpy, the suction cups won't stick. These perches allow your bird to have a rain style bath while bonding with you. They greatly reduce the amount of dust and dander in your birds living area by washing it all right down the drain.
Most multipurpose perches are made with PVC pipe and feature a swing out arm for the bird to perch on. The actual perching surface and size is usually the main difference to look for. Polly's Pet Products brand features a rubberized perching surface, kind of like a bath mat while the new Rinse Ace brand makes a suction cup perch with a tough, water-proof non-slippery sanded perch surface that is designed to soften the feet and groom the toenails and beak during shower time.
One brand, though, FeatherSmart, has a unique shower perch in the shape of a half-circle. This allows your bird to have more control on about where they stand in the shower stream. We like this this brand because it features additional bracing to support heavier birds or more than one bird at a time. Another very popular brand of perch is the Happy Perch. Two suction cups are attached to flexible plastic tubing. Happy Perches can be used in the shower or sink and come in three sizes.
Don't think these perches are only good in the shower! They can attach to any smooth surface. Place them on a closed window to allow your bird to see outside or on the bathroom mirror for birdie time while you're getting ready for work. Some people use them in the car, too.

Go inside the battered and broken air traffic control system for a look at what can be done to limit delays.
Every year, more and more people take to the air. Every year, a routing and guidance system with roots decades in the past becomes more overwhelmed and ineffective. The result is as problematic as it is predictable--the air travel system is in turmoil.
AIR TRAFFIC JAM goes into the control towers and onto the tarmac to get to the bottom of this mounting crisis, and see what can be done to alleviate it. Passengers share horror stories of being stranded on the ground for hours at a time, unable to take off or even taxi back to the terminal. Transportation experts detail the options available to solve the crisis, from expanding airports and building bigger planes to changing the rules governing flight schedules.
Candid testimony from FAA officials, air traffic controllers and pilots offers an inside view of an industry at a crossroads.

The City of Round Rock celebrated the first private customer of its reuse water system at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, at the Dell Diamond.
The Round Rock Express is the first non-City user to take advantage of the City of Round Rock reuse water utility, which uses partially treated wastewater for irrigation purposes and other non-drinking uses. The reuse system has been an integral part of Round Rock's overall water conservation program since 1998.
Why are reuse systems important?
City and federal officials and representatives from the Round Rock Express will be on hand to discuss the most recent $5.8 million reuse system expansion. Federal funds sought by U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, through the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have helped pay for the system.
This phase of the City's reuse system includes additional treatment, pumping, chlorination and storage facilities at the Brushy Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment plant, and 9,000 linear feet of transmission and irrigation lines for watering fields in Old Settlers Park and the Dell Diamond.
Future phases include additional storage and pumping facilities along with 22,900 linear feet of 8- and 16-inch transmission mains to the higher education campuses, parks and schools in the northeast part of the City. The final planned phase includes 1,500 linear feet of 8-inch transmission pipes to tie into an existing reuse water line to Stony Point High School.
In 1998, the first reuse water project was put into use after completing a pipeline from the regional wastewater facility to City-owned Forest Creek Golf Club.

Yoga Can Help to Undo the Damage Caused by Your Desk JobOct 3, 2013 2:13:47 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
When you sit at a desk all day at work, you're risking a great deal more than just a stiff neck or a sore rear end. Reports that emerged in 2012 show that sitting all day can cause the development of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and even morbid obesity. In order to combat these issues, there are a number of things that you can do, such as working at an ergonomic standing desk and practicing yoga. The movements and stretches that are performed during yoga not only promote greater flexibility, but they can also ease tension and help you to improve the flow of oxygen to the body.
Yoga Works All Parts of the Body
While an ergonomic standing desk will help you maintain a greater sense of movement and flexibility during your work day, practicing yoga will help you work out the kinks in your back, neck, and legs that you did pick up during those eight hours at the office. Yoga is a great solution to the problems that are often caused by prolonged sitting, and by doing a number of different positions each night after work, you can work different parts of the body that may be affected. The arms, legs, hands, hips, and even your wrists and fingers are all involved in a variety of yoga moves, and many of them are simple to perform. You do not have to be an expert to try these moves, but you should be careful and start off slowly.
Yoga Moves That Combat Prolonged Sitting
While there are a number of yoga moves that you can do, there are some that are particularly good for your body if you must sit for long periods or if you don't have access to an ergonomic standing desk. Some moves, such as the mountain pose, the fish pose, and the bound angle pose can stretch the back muscles, open up airways that may become cramped from leaning forward over a desk all day, and stretch and open the hips to relieve back and sciatica pain. When you first attempt these moves, don't rush; yoga is all about relaxation and a focus on what your body is doing, not how fast you can achieve it. Some moves, such as slow neck stretches, can even be performed during the day when you take a break in your office.
Enhancing Your Yoga with Furniture from Biomorph
Call us today at 888-302-DESK to learn more about how an ergonomic standing desk can be part of a healthy office regimen that includes ergonomic awareness and yoga. We have a large variety of desks, chairs, and other office equipment that will contribute to a healthier work environment so that you feel energized and alert throughout your work day. Our furniture, when combined with healthy lifestyle choices such as yoga, will help you to maintain a healthy mind and body, no matter where you work or what demands you face on a daily basis.
What You Don't Know About Sitting May Shorten Your LifeOct 2, 2013 3:52:36 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Regardless of your occupation, if you sit more than six hours a day, recent studies have shown that this can have a negative impact on your health and even shorten your life. A sedentary lifestyle that includes eight hours or more of sitting for a job greatly increases the chances of developing a number of chronic illnesses, even if you exercise regularly. If your job includes a great deal of sitting, particularly in non-ergonomic chairs, you may be shortening your life without even being aware of it.
Why Sitting is Unhealthy
Even if you're an active person, exercise isn't a cure-all when it comes to sitting for long periods during the day without breaks. In fact, if you sit for more than eight hours a day, any exercise that you do won't reverse the effects of the prolonged sitting. There are several reasons for this, but according to a Medical Daily article, one of the biggest reasons is because human bodies are not built to remain in a fixed position for hours on end, particularly if that position impedes blood flow to the legs. Unless you use ergonomic chairs at your workstation, prolonged sitting can cause swelling in the legs and feet, chronic back pain, and even kidney problems.
Sitting Often Contributes to Chronic Illness
The studies conducted on prolonged sitting have revealed some shocking facts that may surprise you. For example, if you have a desk job that requires you to sit for hours on end, you run a greater risk of developing chronic illnesses that may shorten your life, such as heart disease, diabetes, nerve damage, and obesity. Ergonomic chairs will help a great deal by allowing you to sit with the optimum comfort and correct posture, but it's also important that you take breaks every hour as well. One of the biggest negative consequences of these chronic illnesses is that once you develop them, they are difficult or even impossible to reverse. Not only can these diseases shorten your life, but they will also cost thousands of dollars in medical treatment as well. To avoid this possibility, ask your employer to provide you with ergonomic chairs and opportunities to take a break from sitting at least once every 45 to 60 minutes.

Simple Exercises and a Sit-To-Stand Desk Can Reduce the Risk of IllnessSep 28, 2013 12:04:49 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you sit at your job for a living, then you may have already heard about how prolonged sitting can negatively impact your health. In order to battle the problems that are caused by sitting from six to eight hours a day, which can include diabetes, obesity, and even muscle atrophy, there are several quick and easy exercises that you can do right at your desk to reduce the risk of chronic illness that can shorten your life. These exercises, coupled with using sit and stand desks, can greatly reduce the chances of sitting-related diseases.
The Magic Carpet Ride
To strengthen your arms and reduce belly fat, pull your legs and feet up onto your chair and cross your legs. Then, using only the muscles in your arms, push yourself out of the chair slowly while you pull in your stomach muscles. This will work your abs and strengthen your arms at the same time. Hold the position for as long as you can, or up to twenty seconds. Make sure that your chair is stable before you attempt this exercise. If you are using sit and stand desks at your workstation and have been sitting for more than an hour, take a break and do the exercise.
The Tricep Desk Dip
This exercise works best with a solid table and isn't recommended for use with sit and stand desks. Sit on the table or desk with your feet on the floor and your hands braced on the desk on either side of your body. Slowly move your buttocks off the desk and bend at the knees while you keep your feet together. Repeat the bend up to twenty times, and this will strengthen your arms, particularly where muscle tends to weaken. Make sure that your feet are on a secure surface where they won't slip.
Simple Shoulder Spin
While sit and stand desks is the best way to ensure that you stay healthy at work, the shoulder spin can maintain and even increase flexibility. While you sit up straight in your chair, reach your left hand behind your back with your palm facing outward. With your right hand, reach down and try and touch your left hand. If you can, touch and hold for up to twenty seconds and then switch hands. This exercise may take some practice, but it can help you to increase the flexibility in your shoulder and arm muscles.
Biomorph Furniture Solutions
While all of these exercises can benefit you at your sit down job, sit and stand desks are the best way to avoid the medical issues that can come from prolonged sitting.

Research Shows That Sitting at a Desk All Day Can Be DeadlySep 27, 2013 11:59:11 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you sit at a desk all day for your job, you may be alarmed to know that studies conducted last year by the University of Sydney and published via The Washington Post show that not only is sitting all day for your job detrimental to your health, but it could actually be deadly. The study showed that people under the age of 45 who sit for their jobs are 15 percent more likely to die from a number of causes, and that this number nearly triples for people over the age of 45. Many companies are becoming more aware of these alarming statistics and are turning to ergonomic furniture to help their employees remain healthy.
Prolonged Sitting: Myth vs. Fact
You might believe that sitting at your desk all day isn't bad for you as long as you take regular breaks and exercise every day, but the studies that were done by the University of Sydney show that doing these things didn't affect their statistics. Even those who sit at their desks and don't feel as if they're uncomfortable are still at great risk for joint pain, chronic back pain, and other ailments. Over the course of the study, nearly seven percent of office workers who were being polled died (over a course of four years,) but it is unclear what their risk factors were. Even if you're not overweight and are in good health, the older you get, the higher these risk factors are for you, even if there's nothing physically wrong with you at present. The best solution to the problem is to stop sitting so much, and ergonomic furniture can help.
What Are the Risks?
Over 200,000 people were polled for the University of Sydney study, and among the risks that came from prolonged sitting included conditions and illnesses that affect every part of the body. Some of these risks are tied to obesity, which can actually increase the likelihood of other health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, breathing problems, and even neurological problems. However, the introduction of ergonomic furniture can help reduce the risk of developing these problems and contribute to longer lives. Some of this furniture includes standing desks, which allow you to work at your station without having to sit all day. When you sit less, you're healthier overall. Ergonomic furniture also comes in a wide variety of styles to suit any body type, so no matter if you're short or tall, you will be able to find a unit that fits you comfortably.
Discover a Healthier Way to Work
Whether you work from home or out of an office and sit all day, you can reduce your risk of premature death and a number of deadly illnesses by purchasing ergonomic furniture from Biomorphdesk.com.

Regular Exercise Does Not Cancel Out the Risks of Sit-Down JobsSep 27, 2013 11:53:27 PM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you hit the gym before work every day, that morning workout may not be doing as much for you as you think. According to a recent New York Times article, sitting at a desk for more than six hours a day can actually put you at a greater risk for a number of diseases that can drastically shorten your life, such as diabetes and heart disease. Recently, more and more people have been turning to ergonomic solutions, such as the stand-up desk, to reduce this risk.
Why Exercise Has Little Impact
Many people who sit at their jobs probably don't think about the damage that it does to their bodies, particularly if they are otherwise active. However, recent studies show that sitting for long periods of time, particularly at a desk, negates any type of exercise done during the day. This means that if you work out for an hour in the morning, it is not going to benefit your body in the same way if you sit the rest of the day. One way that many people are trying to battle this problem is by using a stand-up desk, which greatly reduces the time spent sitting on the job.
Other Factors
There are other factors that also have a canceling-out effect on any kind of exercise you might do during the day when you sit for a living. Whether you sit at a desk in an office instead of using a stand-up desk, work from home and have an ill-fitting chair, or even if you sit on the couch for hours at a time after work, there are other habits associated with sitting that have a poor effect on your overall health. The biggest factor is poor diet because in many cases, people who have desk jobs don't eat right when it comes to breakfast and lunch. They often eat meals on the go, snack more, and eat more fast food. Some people even eat sitting at their desks, and if they eat fatty fast food every day, that 20 minute walk they took that morning isn't going to have any kind of positive affect on their bodies. Another factor that can have a negative impact is sitting posture. Many people do not sit at their desks correctly, which leads to back pain, numbness in the extremities, and other skeletal and joint problems. Buying a stand-up desk can alleviate some of these factors and discourage you from getting too used to sitting at your job all day.
The Biomorph Solution
If you would like to make a healthier choice when it comes to ergonomics, then call Biomorph today at 888-302-DESK to order a stand-up desk, ergonomic tables, and other high-quality furniture that can improve both your health and quality of life. Your job shouldn't have to endanger your health, and we can help you discover ergonomic solutions that will have a positive impact on your daily life, no matter how you make a living.
Prolonged Sitting at Your Job Can Damage and Weaken MusclesSep 26, 2013 1:05:34 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
As technology increases, so do jobs that require long periods of sitting, typing, and gazing at computer screens. If you sit more than six hours at your job on a daily basis, you may be doing much more damage to your body than you realize, particularly to your muscles. Even if you sit at an ergonomic computer desk, sitting for long periods can damage the muscles in your hips, legs, and even your arms. Throughout the day, if you sit without frequent breaks, fail to stretch, or do other movements that have a positive affect on your body, working out before or after work likely won't be enough to reverse the muscle break down or atrophy.
How Muscle Damage Occurs
Working at an ergonomic computer desk is a step in the right direction as far as avoiding sitting-related illness, but you still need to move around during the day to prevent long-term damage to a number of muscle groups. The major cause of this is gravity, which pulls down on your body as you sit and puts pressure on muscles in your hips and legs. Since the human body wasn't meant to be locked in a sitting position for hours on end, you may notice that daily aches and pains are growing worse the longer you sit. While an ergonomic computer desk can help alleviate some of these aches, you should take these pains as a warning that you're not taking enough breaks from sitting, and need to strongly consider switching to an adjustable standing desk.
Muscle Atrophy and Sitting
Even when you sit at an ergonomic computer desk, your muscles remain slack and are constantly being subjected to the pressure of the weight of your own body bearing down on them. This is especially true of the muscles in your torso, belly, and upper legs. The more weight they are subjected to, the more damage that is done. Additionally, when you sit for long periods of time, the less blood blow there is for the hips and legs. This can lead to muscle atrophy, numbness, and pain that may eventually be permanent. An ergonomic computer desk can help you to sit more correctly and improve your blood flow, but your muscles will suffer from atrophy the longer you sit. The only solution is an adjustable standing desk and more frequent breaks. When muscles become flabby, they can suffer damage more easily than if they were toned.

How Working at a Standing Desk Can Improve Your HealthSep 26, 2013 12:57:40 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
Even if you already know that practicing ergonomics at work can help to improve your posture while you're sitting at your desk, studies that were released last year show that prolonged sitting can cause a variety of problems that may shorten your life much in the same way that the toxins in cigarette smoke take years off a smoker's life. These studies showed that people who sat for six to eight hours a day or more at their job at a continuous pace developed a number of health problems, gained a great deal of weight, and some of them even developed deadly illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. These reports have prompted many companies to offer their employees a standing desk, which can battle the negative effects of excessive sitting.
How Sitting Causes Poor Oxygen Intake
Just as cigarette smoke constricts the blood vessels and causes poor oxygenation of the blood cells, sitting at a computer desk all day can impede air flow to the lungs. When you slump forward in your chair to peer at your computer screen, you're cramping your lungs and restricting normal breathing. This can lead to several problems that reach far beyond bad posture and a sore back: a restricted air flow can cause feelings of lethargy, a lack of focus, and even painful daily headaches. Working at a standing desk for part of the day will not only allow you to be more mobile and improve blood flow to the body, but you will breathe easier as well, especially when you stand up straight.
Finding a Healthy Balance
While working at a standing desk can help to improve your oxygen intake, standing all day can be hard on your feet and legs, particularly if you're older. Desks like these allow you to do some of your working standing up, but they can also be adjusted easily so that you may sit some of the time, keeping you at your optimum health. A standing desk isn't a single solution to the problems that can be caused by sitting hunched over a computer desk all day, but rather part of an office furniture rotation that can be used to improve your daily health. Sitting, standing, and walking should all be a part of your office regimen, as well as quick and easy stretches that you can do at your desk. The more you can improve your oxygen and blood flow, the healthier you will be.

2012 Study Shows That Prolonged Sitting is Just as Bad for You as SmokingSep 26, 2013 12:44:23 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
While you probably already know about the detrimental effects that smoking can have on your health, what you may not know is that sitting for long periods without standing up or moving around can actually have an impact on your body that's just as negative. A number of reports released in 2012 show that prolonged sitting causes a number of health problems that can become chronic and even shorten your life, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. While there is office furniture that promotes better posture and greater comfort while working, such as a corner standing desk, the more you sit at your job, the greater the risk becomes that you might develop these problems.
The Physical Effects of Sitting
Just as the toxins in cigarette smoke can shorten your life when you smoke for years on end, sitting can have a highly negative physical impact on your body as well. Few people sit correctly in their office chairs as it is, which can cause back and hip pain, nerve problems in the legs, and even numbness in the feet. However, prolonged sitting can cause more serious problems. When you sit for hours at a time, whether it's for work or at home when you're online, you are deadening the nerve impulses in your legs, which may cause swelling. Blood flow also decreases in this area and your body stops burning calories, which increases weight gain. The amount of good cholesterol that is produced in your body also drops drastically, which allows the bad levels to rise and may even contribute to diabetes. One way to combat this is to buy a corner standing desk, which keeps the leg muscles in use while you're working.
How to Reduce Your Risk
While this news is certainly alarming, especially if you sit for your job all day, there are things that you can do to reduce the risk of developing chronic and even life-threatening diseases. Talk to your supervisor about buying ergonomic furniture, such as a corner standing desk so that you can spend part of your work day standing up. This will help promote better blood flow. Walk as much as possible during the day and get up from your desk at least once every 30 minutes. If possible, stretch your legs and rotate your hips for five minutes if you can't take a quick walk. This will keep your muscles from becoming stiff and prevent atrophy.
How Biomorph Can Help
Buying a corner standing desk from biomorphdesk.com is just one way that our company can help you live a more productive and healthy life. Our ergonomic office furniture promotes overall physical health while you're on the job and offers a number of solutions for the problems that come with prolonged sitting. Give us a call today at 888-302-DESK to talk about our wide selection of corner standing desks, ergonomic chairs, and everything else that you need to be successful and healthy, each and every day.
Stand Up to Work: It Could Save Your LifeSep 9, 2013 7:09:24 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
If you haven't heard of stand up desks, adjustable office furniture is increasingly recommended by health practitioners to those who have to work at desks for prolonged periods of time. Instead of sitting for hours on end, which has been shown to contribute to a number of health issues, adjustable desks from Biomorph offer their users the flexibility of changing their work environment at the push of a button or the turn of a crank handle.
All of the desks and chairs in Biomorph's offering were designed according to what's best ergonomically-speaking for those who use them. The thing about office furniture, and that which makes it even more important for desks and chairs to be made adjustable, is that it's not always the same people using a workstation. A person who is short in stature won't have the same workstation requirements as someone who is over six feet tall, whether they wish to stand up and work or sit. With Biomorph sit to stand desks, however, people of all different shapes and sizes can comfortably work from either a sitting or standing position.
Reducing the amount of time you spend sitting, in an effort to prevent this position's detrimental health effects, isn't as simple as taking a few more trips to the water cooler or surfacing to quickly stretch every couple of hours. Having the option to stand up while working can and will do good things for your health while also improving your productivity. To learn more about the benefits of a stand up desk from Biomorph, call us at 888-302-DESK.
You Owe it to Yourself! Change Your Posture, Improve Productivity & Your HealthSep 9, 2013 7:06:57 AM| By Stephen Barlow-Lawson0 comments
When you're sitting at a desk for hours every day, you likely aren't thinking about how your work position is affecting your posture, how that posture is affecting your productivity and what sitting in general for long periods of times is doing for your overall health.
If you were to own a sitting and standing desk, one of the top of the line adjustable desks carried by Biomorph, you would experience both the immediate and long-term benefits of working in a position that's better suited for good health and better productivity.
When you have the option to change up your work position, say from sitting to standing, you provide your body with a much-needed break from a posture that's unnatural and, over the long-run, exceptionally hard on your body. It's amazing how quickly productivity can decline when a person is uncomfortable or has remained in the same position for too long. By simply adjusting the Biomorph desk to a standing position, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your productivity and your comfort.
Over the long-term, reducing the amount of time you spend sitting can and will lower your risk of a variety of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, not to mention the countless physical injuries that can result from too much time sitting at a desk.
Do something positive for your work environment. Improve your posture with a sitting and standing desk from Biomorph and enjoy the benefits for years to come! Call us at 888-302-DESK for more information on our line of products.
