The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
This week's restaurant reviews
In this week's Newsday, Peter Gianotti visits La Notte, which takes over the Huntington address previously occupied by Bel Posto, Tello, Mangiamo and Orlando. "Pastaterians will recall so many Italian restaurants at this address that a marinara river must run through it," he writes. "La Notte keeps the red-sauce tradition going, but adds other flavorful fare, too."
Joan Reminick reviews Golden Chicken in Bay Shore, a cozy Peruvian storefront where "you can get the namesake rotisserie chicken, burnished gold and spice-infused throughout. But poultry is only the beginning of what you'll find here."

Fight off asthma and ER trips with nutrition
Updated On: Dec 18 2012 11:27:02 AM CST
By Sandra Deden, Pure Matters
Some experts believe that you may reduce your asthma symptoms by eating certain foods. Many fruits and vegetables contain potassium and magnesium. Avocados, bananas, and potatoes are especially rich in these nutrients. Legumes, nuts, dairy products, and whole grains also have potassium and magnesium. Not eating enough foods with these nutrients has been linked with poor lung function.
Fruits and vegetables also contain vitamin C and a nutrient called quercetin. Some experts believe that vitamin C may help treat allergy-related conditions like asthma. Quercetin, which slows the release of the chemical histamine, may also be helpful. Histamine in the body causes allergy symptoms.
Consider eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, too. These foods include fresh fish (salmon, mackerel, and halibut) and plant oils (flaxseed oil and walnuts). Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce swelling and improve lung function in adults with asthma.
It's not known for sure yet whether these dietary changes can improve your asthma, but it won't hurt to try them. Just be sure to continue taking your asthma medicine as directed.

When you call our free helpline you will be speaking directly with someone who has been where you are today. You may be speaking with someone who as a mother almost lost her family because of her addiction, a father who watched as addiction slowly destroyed the ones he loved the most, a professional whose early success led him into a world of addiction and tears, a daughter who was caught in the ways of addiction early on in life and thought there was no way out, and the list goes on and on. You will be speaking with real people, real sons, spouses, brothers, sisters, and parents who have been in your shoes and have a story that they are willing to share in hopes to get you through the tough times you are facing.

Same story, different year. It gets cold and we turn on the heat. But each year, the same tragedy burns homeowners who fail to respect basic fire safety precautions. Our Erin Vannella reports.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "Anything that burns actual combustion requires more maintenance, but nothing is a set it and forget it proposition," said Family Danz HVAC Service Technician Jim McDonald.
McDonald is servicing a furnace. It's an annual check-up that could do more than to keep a family warm.
"The old adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure totally applies to the heating plant in your home," said McDonald
We see them every year, fires that start from an unswept chimney, an unattended heater or dusty furnace. Seasonal tragedies fire officials say are easy to avoid.
"We see more fires for the fact that we have Christmas trees in our homes, kerosene heaters, space heaters, electric heaters," said Albany Fire Chief Robert Forezzi. "These are all fine as long as you follow the manufacturers' recommendations and you use common sense."
So schedule a tune-up. Keep anything flammable at least three feet from open flames. Water your Christmas tree and turn off the lights when you leave the house.
"Each bedroom should have its own smoke detector and outside the bedroom as well," said McDonald. "Carbon monoxide detectors should be on the same floor as your boilers and your propane tanks."
They're easy precautions that may be just as easy to overlook. With too many holiday distractions, McDonald says do yourself a favor and ask for help.
"Starting to hear things that don't sound right? Have a radiator that doesn't warm up? Now is the time to call," said McDonald. "Don't wait 'til the middle of January, but if you do wait, we'll be there."

As any self-respecting power luncher knows, December is no time to slack off and dip into the egg nog. Quite the contrary. The noontime hour during the holidays may be reserved for a little shopping for those that still go the brick and mortar route, but the regulars at Michael's know that now is the time to get real business done, score some valuable face time and plot your next big move. As one mogul told me today, "I'll celebrate in January. Now is the best time to get in there when the competition isn't looking." Consider yourself warned.
Judging from the interesting combinations of folks at the tables around the dining room today, I'd say there are plenty of movers and shakers whose New Year's resolutions involve making some changes to the resume and fattening up that portfolio (even if the tax man is going to come looking for a bigger piece of the action come 2013). There were so many suits in the lounge eagerly awaiting to be seated when I showed up that I thought there was some kind of Wall Street holiday hoo-ha going on. The appearance of Mark Zuckerberg's sister Randi Zuckerberg with AOL's Jolie Hunt caused a bit of stir, and I spotted more than a handful of mavens "in transition" who have seemingly aligned themselves with some interesting power players in hopes for a brighter new year. Here's hoping.
I was invited to join 'Mayor' Joe Armstrong and David Zinczenko for a dishy lunch. While Joe and I waited for Dave to arrive, I noticed that the Mayor's omnipresent, tri-colored western boot that doubles as a centerpiece when he's in the house had been replaced by a bigger, bronze version. The Mayor tells me that he decided to keep the red, white and blue version at home for safe keeping. It's signed by music men Jimmy Buffet, Willie Nelson, Fats Domino and Elton John (on the day Joe hosted a lunch for Elton in celebration of the Broadway debut of Billy Elliot in this very dining room), as well as Laura Bush who happened to spy it on Joe's table during a visit a while back and whipped out a Sharpie before Joe knew what hit him.
I couldn't wait to catch up with Dave when he arrived. His headline-making departure from Rodale a few weeks ago after his incredibly successful tenure at the top has gotten plenty of coverage. Just this week Women's Wear Daily and AdAge weighed in, with the latter speculating on "Rodale's Rocky Road" in the face of Dave's exit. As you undoubtedly know, Dave was the high-profile face and voice of the Men's Health brand, with regular appearances on the Today show and scores of other shows from Ellen to Oprah. His much imitated Eat This, Not That bestsellers became their own franchise for Rodale, cementing the company's place in pop culture as long as Dave kept churning out different versions.

Mary, your trusted employee, has embezzled money from your bank. Or, Bryan, a long time customer, has used a deposit account at your bank to defraud his employer (and maybe his employers customers). You have just started to put the pieces together after that initial gut-wrenching admission that it looks as though the worst has happened. You ask yourself, Okay, now what do I do?
The SAR
The first thing to consider is whether a Suspicious Activity Report is required. The obligation to file a SAR with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network may depend on (1) who committed the crime and (2) the dollar amount involved. In the case of Mary, the bank insider, there is no dollar threshold to your reporting obligation. Whenever a depository institution detects a known or suspected federal criminal violation (against the depository institution or involving transactions conducted through it) and there is reason to believe that a director, officer, employee, agent or other institution-affiliated party has committed or assisted in the commission of the crime, a SAR must be filed, regardless of the dollar amount involved.
Because Bryan is an outsider to your bank and has been identified, the threshold for reporting his crime to FinCEN is $5,000. If a depository institution believes that it is the victim of a financial crime, or is being used by an outsider to commit a financial crime but the identity of the perpetrator is unknown, a SAR must be filed if the crime involves $25,000 or more. However, any suspected money laundering must be reported (whether or not a perpetrator can be identified) if the amount involved is $5,000 or more. Generally speaking, robberies or burglaries reported to local law enforcement agencies need not be reported to FinCEN.
SARs are required to be filed within 30 calendar days after the date the facts underlying the suspected crime are initially detected. If no culprit is identifiable on discovery, the depository institution may take an additional 30 days to file the SAR while attempting to identify the responsible person or persons. Ongoing schemes, like money laundering, may also require other, more-immediate reporting to law enforcement agencies (such as by telephone).
Your bank has now filed the SAR. Whom may you tell; whom may you not tell? A depository institution and its directors, officers, employees, agents, current and former, are prohibited by federal law from generally disclosing the existence of the SAR and specifically from notifying any person involved in the reported transaction that the transaction has been reported via a SAR. That means that even if the bank decides to fire Mary for her embezzlement, it may not tell her that a SAR has been filed with FinCEN. Similarly, Bryan may not be told that a SAR has been filed, even if the deposit account is closed.
On a separate but related note, a depository institution should never threaten to report a crime or threaten criminal prosecution as a method of inducing repayment by the perpetrator.
Under many circumstances the threat of criminal prosecution to gain a pecuniary advantage is itself a crime (blackmail). This could involve personal criminal liability for the bank officer making the threat as well as for the bank.
Sureties and Insurers
All depository institutions are required to purchase a fidelity bond. Typical bond provisions require that a loss be reported within a relatively short time frame; sometimes it will be a specified number of days and sometimes it will simply be to report it as soon as possible. When does the clock start ticking on the reporting obligation? Certainly by the time a depository institution has sufficient information to file a SAR, but perhaps earlier. A typical bond requires notice after discovery, with discovery defined to be when the depository institution first becomes aware of facts that would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the bond has occurred.
In general, it is advisable to make an initial report to the bonding company as soon as possible after discovery of the basic facts underlying any loss. Even if the depository institution is not sure if a loss has occurred, the amount of the loss or even who the perpetrator is, the best practice is to inform the surety of what is known. Additional reports, filling in details, correcting mistakes or otherwise clarifying what was previously reported can always be filed.
Be sure you make a report to the right surety. Bonds usually are claims-made, meaning that they cover losses discovered during the period the bond is in effect, regardless of when the loss actually occurred. This is in contrast to occurrence-type policies that cover insured losses occurring during the period the policy is in place, regardless of when discovered and reported. Thus, the report of a loss goes to the surety under the bond in effect at the time of discovery, even if there was a different surety at the time of loss.
FinCEN generally prohibits the disclosure of the existence of a SAR. Even so, the narrative portion of the SAR may be a helpful start to the disclosure made to the bonding company. Do not send in a copy of the SAR, but you may crib from the description in the SAR, if it is helpful.
In addition to the banks surety, you should review your directors and officers insurance policy (sometimes referred to as an errors and omissions policy) for possible coverage. In addition to providing protection to directors and employees, D&O policies often insure the depository institution and its holding company from various liabilities and losses. Some losses may be covered by both the bond carried by a depository institution and the D&O policy purchased by the depository institution or its holding company. If both provide coverage, you certainly want to take advantage of the double coverage (which may increase limits of coverage, or reduce deductibles/retentions).
As with the bond, prompt reporting is often a requisite to maintaining coverage for a reported loss under a D&O policy. If you are unsure if a loss is covered, it is better to report the event and have the insurer decline coverage, rather than find out later that had a timely report been filed, the insurer would have paid your bank for its loss. Many D&O policies (like bonds) are claims-made rather than occurrence policies, heightening the need for prompt reporting. It is a good idea to also check other insurance for additional coverage, such as general liability policies and umbrella policies.
The SAR is the only required communication to regulators regarding a financial crime. However, most depository institutions find it advisable to communicate early-on with their direct state and federal regulators. This is especially important where the crime may affect the reliability or accuracy of previously filed regulatory reports or where the capital of the depository institution may be materially affected.

That's not because I am easily annoyed by dogs that don't behave. Anyone who knows my girls, Sadie and Sophie, knows they demonstrate some poor manners from time-to-time.
But I also know well-behaved dogs are less likely to end up in a shelter, so every time I help someone teach their dog manners, I'm hopefully helping eliminate pet homelessness.
To that end, you may also know that I believe exercise is one of the best ways to put your dog on its best behavior. Dogs with excess energy rarely mind their manners.
I always advocate walking with your dog for exercise. It not only burns off that unwanted energy, but it's a great way to bond with your pet.
Some dogs, however, need much more exertion, and if you're not a runner, then a game of fetch can be the right answer.
But what do you do if your dog prefers tug to fetch and will retrieve the ball, but like many, won't give it back?
The answer is a fairly simple training game that teaches your dog to give in order to receive.
Start with a toy the dog can hold one end of while you hold the other. Entice your dog to grab the toy by shaking it and pulling it away to pique his interest.
Then say "take it," and let your dog grab an end. Keep holding your end while he mouths and plays with it.
Now it's time to teach him to give the toy back to you.
Say "give" and offer a treat in trade for the toy. Most dogs will opt for the treat and let go of the toy. If not, try higher value treats, such as liver snacks or peanut butter.
Don't jerk the toy away when your dog lets go; just hold it right where it was so he doesn't feel like he lost by letting go.
When your dog lets go, offer praise and then give him the reward. Immediately offer the original toy back, saying "take it!" Praise him again with a "good, take it" when he grabs on, and let him play with the toy while you keep hold of it too.
Repeat this several times, ending with "take it," and allowing your dog to keep the toy.
Once this game is learned, apply it to the act of fetching. If your dog won't give up the toy, simply sit down and start reading a magazine. Don't look up from your magazine until he touches your hand with the toy, trying to give it to you.
This might take a while, but with time, your dog will realize that you're not interested in playing "keep away."
Don't let your dog turn this into a competition. If he won't "give," quit playing and go back to reading. The game is played by your rules, not your dog's desires.
This may mean you'll be throwing fewer toys or balls in the beginning, but once he catches on, he'll play the game your way. Be patient. It will pay off.

Great article and point. People way too often believe the animal is to blame for their behavior, when the owner is. If discouraged owners would take the time to learn how their pet's individual mind and (moreso usually)instincts work, it's much easier to address misbehavior, make everyone happier, and save at least 1 life.
The tug/fetch games are perfect examples of having an undesirably competitive relationship with the dog, versus a subordinate one.

Carran rejects Lisbon job offer; Brown Deer's Janecke accepts
Town of Lisbon- Matt Carran, community development director for the Village of Menomonee Falls, has rejected the Town of Lisbon's offer to become town clerk/administrator.
The Town Board moved quickly Wednesday night to hire Matt Janecke, assistant village manager for Brown Deer, who described his new position as town administrator as "a great opportunity to move my career forward and make a mark on the Town of Lisbon."
"I think we are in good hands," said Town Board Chairman Matt Gehrke after the board voted unanimously to hire Janecke after an approximately 25 minute interview.
Supervisor Hannah Heinritz praised Janecke for the amount of research he did about the community and the town government before being interviewed on two different occassions by the town board.
Supervisor Joe Osterman praised Janecke for "short and to the point the answers" and displaying "a lot of energy and a willingness to work hard."» Read Full Article

Homestead boys shutout Nicolet in third quarter in 65-30 rout
There's no such thing as a "perfect quarter" in basketball, but the Homestead boys turned in something awfully close to one Tuesday night against host Nicolet.
The Highlanders blew open a 30-18 halftime lead with a 21-0 effort in the third quarter. Forward Josh Mueller highlighted the run with 11 of his career-high 21 points in the session including two 3-point plays and 3-pointer.
It all led to an easy 65-30 victory that improved the Highlanders to 3-0 in the North Shore and 4-1 overall and kept them in a tie for the lead with three-time state champ Germantown (3-0, 4-0).
Nicolet meanwhile fell to 0-3 and 2-4 respectively.
"Our goal is to play the first three minutes of the third quarter very well but we just kept extending that all the way into the middle of the fourth," said Highlander coach Kevin McKenna. "It's very important to start well in the third.» Read Full Article
Wolf comes home as Homestead girls hoops team beat Nicolet, 51-41
She knew the route there, she knew the people who would be in charge of the game, and of course, she knew the floor, the court and the building very, very well too.
There's also her Nicolet Athletic Hall of Fame plaque that sits prominently in the hallway of the school.
Homestead girls basketball coach Corey Bronson Wolf came home to Nicolet Tuesday night, leading her Highlanders to a 51-41 win as her alma mater and the program she led to a WIAA state title just four years ago put up a feisty, determined effort to try and knock her team from the unbeaten ranks.
"I got to see a lot of people who supported (the Nicolet program) and who continue to support it and that was very nice," she said. "It was just nice to touch base with those people again.
"But once the game started, it was no different than it usually was. I don't try to think about the past a lot. The gym was familiar, the floor was familiar. ...To me it was just a game and I expected the kids to be focused because I knew this would be a tough game for us."» Read Full Article
Flu hits hard at Glendale-River Hills School District
Glendale — Glendale-River Hills School District was hit hard by the flu bug, as roughly 17 percent of students called in sick Monday and Tuesday.
Between Parkway Elementary School and Glen Hills Middle School, 158 students called in sick on Monday, and more than 160 students called in sick on Tuesday.
Superintendent Larry Smalley delivered a robocall to district parents Monday night informing them of the flu outbreak and asking families to take precautions such as washing their hands, drinking fluids and getting plenty of rest.
Smalley said he does not have any plans to cancel school, because teachers in the district seem to be recovering from the illness. Twenty-one staff members called in sick on Monday, and 15 called in sick on Tuesday. Smalley expects those numbers to improve throughout the week.
"We're finally starting to turn this around and win against the flu bug," Smalley said Tuesday afternoon. "It seems like our staff is getting healthier and healthier."
Man sentenced to prison in optical store fatal shooting
fatal attempted robbery of a Bayside optical store was sentenced Tuesday to seven years in prison followed by 71/2 years of supervision.A man involved in a
Tedric Sanders, 20, was charged with felony murder and bail jumping in the death of Joshua Drake, fatally shot by an employee of Innovative Optique during an attempted robbery Aug. 14.
Prosecutors agreed to drop the original charges when Sanders pleaded guilty to attempted armed robbery as a party to a crime and recommended 71/2 years in prison plus 71/2 years on extended supervision. His attorney, Robert E. Webb Jr., argued for four years each of prison and supervision.
Assistant District Attorney Antonio Apollo said the optical store has not reopened. The owners did not attend Tuesday's hearing. He reminded Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Stephanie Rothstein that Sanders had several prior offenses.
Sanders, Drake and at least one other person drove to the Audubon Shopping Center in a silver Dodge Charger and backed up to the store. Owner Guadalupe Aguilar asked his brother, Marty, to write down the license number.» Read Full Article
Mequon-Thiensville residents will vote on $18.2 million referendum proposal
Mequon — Residents in the Mequon-Thiensville School District will weigh in on a $18.2 million facilities referendum in the spring election.
The Mequon-Thiensville School Board unanimously voted Monday, Dec. 15, to put the referendum question on the April 7 ballot. The idea of a referendum was first proposed in October, and over the course of the last two months, district officials have solicited resident input through surveys and open house events.
In its survey, the district sought feedback on a $20 million referendum and an $11 million referendum. The $20 million option would have included about $14 million in capital improvements and $5.3 million toward the creation of collaborative learning environments at all district schools. The $11 million option only included capital improvements.
Out of the 540 survey responses, 87 percent of respondents said they believe the district's facility needs must be addressed now. Seventy-two percent of respondents said they would vote yes on a $20 million referendum addressing all of the district's facility needs.
Based on survey results, the school board decided to pursue a third option: an $18.2 million expenditure that would include $14.4 million in capital improvements and $3.8 million for collaborative learning environments at the middle school and high school levels.» Read Full Article
I-43 reconstruction project approved by feds
Glendale — Federal highway officials have approved a major reconstruction of Interstate 43 that would expand the highway to six lanes, reconfigure two interchanges and create one new interchange.
The reconstruction project would target the 14-mile stretch of I-43 between Silver Spring Drive in Glendale and Highway 60 in Grafton. In addition to constructing three lanes in each direction, the project would also create a new interchange at Highland Road, replace the partial interchange at County Line Road with a full-access interchange and replace the Brown Deer Road interchange with a new diverging diamond interchange. The remaining interchanges and most of the bridges within the corridor would be rebuilt.
Construction is expected to begin in 2020 , but the timing of the project is dependent on funding availability. The project is estimated to cost $460 million, or $560 million if accounting for inflation in 2020, according to a 441-page DOT report.
"WisDOT is pleased (the Federal Highway Administration) has given us the green light on the I-43 project," Brian Bliesner, the Department of Transportation Project Development Chief, said. "This decision, along with the (Transportation Projects Commission's) recommendation, will allow us to address important modernization needs of this more than 50-year-old corridor."
DOT officials say the reconstruction project is needed to increase safety and reduce congestion, especially between Silver Spring Drive and Good Hope Road. Current traffic volume reaches up to 84,000 vehicles daily, and is expected to increase to up to 101,000 vehicles in 20 years. About 40 percent of the corridor has crash rates exceeding the statewide average for similar roadways, according to a Transporation Planning Commission report.» Read Full Article
Shorewood apartments project seeks $5.5 million in village financing
higher-end apartments for seniors in Shorewood is seeking $5.5 million in village financing assistance.A Minneapolis firm planning to develop 100
Sherman Associates Inc. would develop the units within a four-story building on 4 acres at 3900 N. Sherburn Place. The parcel now includes an industrial building, which once housed Milwaukee PC, that would be razed.
The value of the completed project is expected to be at least $18 million, according to a development agreement to be considered by the Village Board at its Monday night meeting.
That agreement, recommended by the Community Development Authority, calls for the village to provide up to $5.5 million in financing for the project. Those funds would be provided through the project's new property taxes, and would be paid over 20 years.
The project would not be feasible without the village's financial help, said Chris Swartz, village administrator.» Read Full Article
Eisenhower girls beat Shorewood, 50-32
Taylor Crubaugh doesn't usually get in the spotlight for New Berlin Eisenhower, but Friday night, the senior wing stole the show in a 50-32 Woodland Conference victory over Shorewood at home.

Mequon lawyer indicted on 33 counts related to fraud, money laundering
A Mequon lawyer whose clients sued her for fraud in civil court two years ago has been indicted by a federal grand jury on 33 counts, including bank and wire and mail fraud, money laundering and filing a false tax return.
Sarah E.K. Laux, 35, runs her own office in Greenfield and targeted older clients with estate planning and trust services, often through free luncheon seminars. She also had a related insurance company she at times claimed was a nonprofit organization, according to former clients.
In announcing the charges Wednesday, U.S. Attorney James Santelle said financial fraud by people in positions of trust is a high priority for his office, "especially so when the victims of the suspected offense are vulnerable because of age or infirmity and have relied upon their attorney to faithfully protect their financial interests and well being — only to have the trust exploited and abused."
Laux's growing troubles were first reported by the Journal Sentinel last year, when her most prominent clients, the heirs of early 20th century Milwaukee industrial leader Charles Pfister Vogel, claimed she had converted more than $1.5 million, money they claimed Laux used, in part, to purchase real estate in Mequon and pay personal expenses.
According to that civil suit and the federal indictment, that scheme involved Laux convincing the trustees of Carleen Vogel Guenther's main trust that she needed $450,000 from a trust principal as the move-in fee at Newcastle Place, a senior housing development in Mequon. That was approved, and Laux, acting with Guenther's power of attorney, moved the money into accounts she controlled at a different bank.» Read Full Article

Industrial Mathematics Internships
The Industrial Mathematics Internship, a joint program run by The Smith Institute and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), was launched at the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) on the 18th of September 2007.
The Internship is a way for companies and university research groups to promote direct knowledge exchange and develop long-term working relationships through engaging a dedicated postgraduate researcher to work on a specific industrial project over a period of 3 to 6 months.
The Smith Institute manages the Knowledge Transfer Network for Industrial Mathematics (KTN) and hopes that the program will inject fresh energy into UK businesses by bringing cutting-edge techniques to business innovation and by developing long-term working relationships between companies and universities.
Each Internship is a collaboration between a host company, an intern, and a research group within a university. Industrialists can improve existing, or develop new, operations through the impact of mathematical expertise. Universities can grow new industrial collaborations and relationships, whilst interns can gain first-hand experience of the business environment.
A pilot phase of the initiative will run between September 2007 and August 2008 and will establish 6 Internships. Each Internship will last between 3 and 6 months and will be supported by one of the KTN's Technology Translators, who will assist in establishing the projects, building the relationships, exploiting follow-on opportunities and disseminating a final case study through the industrial mathematics community.
Dr Tim Bradshaw, Head of Innovation, Science and Technology at the CBI, said, "The Industrial Mathematics Internships programme is an excellent example of how business and universities can collaborate for mutual benefit — helping businesses become more innovative and successful by making effective use of skills and knowledge developed in universities while at the same time providing extremely valuable experience for postgraduate researchers. The critical component is that researchers will work on finding solutions to real business problems, something for which the Smith Institute already has an excellent reputation."
Further details on Industrial Mathematics Internships can be found on the KTN web site.
If you would like to apply for an Internships or simply discuss a project idea, please contact Dr Claudia Centazzo at the Smith Institute.

$3.2 million Cash Injection for Australian Mathematics
Leaders of Australia's mathematical sciences community today welcomed the announcement of a major Collaboration and Structural Reform grant to the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI). AMSI Director, Professor Philip Broadbridge, said: "AMSI has established a unique collaborative venture. This grant will enable us to continue to grow and expand our programs that are critical to industry, innovation and product quality. "Maintaining capacity for innovation and research is dependent on building Australia's base in mathematics and statistics which has been declining for some time," Professor Broadbridge added. Dr Jim Lewis, Chair of the AMSI Board, said he was delighted with the news. "As a former senior executive in the resources industry, I am very conscious of the value of mathematics to the mining and manufacturing industry. Australian education, research and industry need AMSI and the superb expertise it brings together in its ventures. This support is most welcome acknowledgment of the important role mathematics plays in own right and as a foundation enabling discipline." Chairman of the National Strategic Review of Mathematical Sciences Research Working Party, Professor Hyam Rubinstein, also welcomed the news. "We found overwhelming support for AMSI during the Review and funding for it was one of our two priorities," said Professor Rubinstein. "With this announcement, and the increased funding for the teaching of mathematics and statistics in the May budget, universities should now be in the position to address a national need for more mathematics and statistics graduates." A further $1.2 million has been awarded to AMSI member, the University of Sydney, to enhance collaborative mathematics and statistics advanced course delivery across universities using Access Grid Rooms (AGR). The AGRs have been partly funded through the International Centre of Excellence for Education in Mathematics (ICE-EM), which is managed by AMSI and funded by DEST.

BA Festival of Science - Day 4
Another evening, another function, this one sponsored by the More Maths Grads programme. Dr Reidun Twarock, to whom I spoke earlier in the day, gave her talk on viruses and symmetry, possibly the most interactive maths I have seen. Icosahedrons made from cardboard and real footballs were thrown into the audience to help explain her mathematical concepts, and the talk was followed by a brief function in which the More Maths Grads people promoted their activities.
Journeying in this morning, I regretted somewhat the dodgy Yorkshire fish and chips I had the night before. I attended a press conference on studies conducted by the University of Bristol that suggests that not only is there trace evidence of drug usage on nearly every UK bank note in circulation, but that the notes circulate quickly enough throughout the country that no particular area has higher instances of drug use on their notes. Cocaine was found on nearly every note, whilst heroine is found on around 5%. The presence of the drugs is not simply because notes are used in drug-taking activities - even fresh new notes have some contamination because they are contaminated very early on through contact with infected notes. Cocaine is particularly sticky, and so only very brief contact can contaminate a note.
The next press conference was from Professor Terence Cosgrove from Revolymer, who has developed a non-stick chewing gum. More to the point, he was at pains to note that it is not "non-stick" but rather "low-adhesive". He has made the chewing low-adhesive by introducing a patented polymer that has hydrophilic ends, and so will wash off the pavement with water.
I spent the afternoon chatting to Plus editorial board member Chris Budd about all sorts of mathematical issues - mainly that of Euler and the role of maths in the food and drink industry. But we also touched on mathematics communication, period costumes, maths in crime solving and maths in Celtic and African knots and art. You can hear all this on the podcast very shortly.
Unfortunately my time at the BA Festival of Science is coming to an end. I am about to head into York for a session entitled "How maths changed my life" followed by the last train back to London. I certainly look forward to attending the 2008 version in Liverpool.

The BA Festival of Science - day 3
The evening of day 2 promised to make day 3 of the science festival very long for night-owl science journalists. I attended the Association of British Science Writers reception, which was a great affair - hardly surprising given the £400 bar tab, unlimited wine on top of this and free food. It was great to meet some well-known British science writers from UK newspapers, and observe the drinking habits of others!
My first stop on day 3 of the Science Festival was to speak to Dr Quentin Atkinson, a post-doctoral research fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading, about his research into the evolution of Indo-European languages. He used statistical modelling techniques borrowed from evolutionary biology to date the age of the Indo-European language family and so test between the two main competing theories of Indo-European origins - that of the Kurgan horsemen and of the Anatolian farming hypotheses.
The modelling involved the use of Bayesian networks and instead of looking at how a gene might have evolved over time, he looked at certain words across the Indo-European languages and found where splits between language groups might have occurred. He looked at 200 words such as "mother", "father" and "rain" across 87 languages and found that the original Indo-European language split around 8700 years ago.
I interviewed Dr Reiden Twarock of York University on the geometric properties of viruses. This is the headline mathematics event of the festival, and tonight is accompanied by a reception sponsored by the More Maths Grads project. Dr Twarock is a thoroughly lovely and engaging lady who is using group theory and geometry to build models of how viruses form. These mathematical tools allow her to zoom in on the mechanisms responsible for virus structure and assembly. The resulting insights can then spark new ideas for the development of new anti-viral drugs. This interview will inform future news and features on Plus.
Throughout the day I chatted to a number of people regarding their posters, including some about optimisation, train timetabling, mathematical modelling of sun-spots and Bayesian modelling of Pacific Island cultural movement. These, again, will all appear as Plus news items.
Lastly I chatted to Dr Anthony Sudbery about all sorts of topics with regard to quantum computing. Parallel worlds, unbreakable codes and entangled particles were just some of topics that I pretended to know about ... .
So, now I'm off to rest my brain and then attend the mathematics function tonight. Watch our podcast and news feed for more information on these above topics over the next few weeks.

BA Festival of Science - days 1 and 2
The BA Festival of Science is the UK's foremost celebration of science, engineering and technology and its impact on our society. This year the festival has made its way to York, and I (Marc West) am here on behalf of Plus to enjoy the sciencey goodness and bring you the latest news from the world of mathematics.
The festival is not solely based on maths - indeed, talks and events focusing on maths alone are few and far between, and certainly none of the activities on the first 2 days of the conference centred on it. This does not mean, however, that maths has played no part in the talks.
I spoke to former UK Olympian, and now Professor at Liverpool John Moores University, Greg Whyte about his research into the limits of human performance. You will hear this interview when the next edition of the Plus podcast is released. He was tempted into this work in part because of what he called a "ridiculous" piece of work published in the esteemed journal Nature in the 1990s.
This work postulated that come the year 2050, women would be running as quickly as men, and would then power on past and run even quicker, leaving men in their wake. The reasoning behind this statement was fairly simple. If you plotted the speeds of world record runs by females in the 1500 m, and then plotted the same graph for the males, linear regression on both sets of data would result in their trendlines crossing near 2050. This was because the decrease in the women's world record has been comparatively more than the men's.
A view of the data, and a slight amount of lateral thinking spots the mistake. To start with, it is not a surprise that the female world record speed should fall by more than the men's given that females take longer to run the distance. Secondly, linear regression is completely the wrong type of fit for the data. Professor Whyte fitted a polynomial "s" curve, which showed that the period in which the greatest amount of change made to the world record speed was in the 1960s and 70s - he postulated that this was because of drug usage among athletes.
Whyte also performed his modelling on other running distances and on swimming speeds and found that over almost all distances the difference between males and females remained at around 10%.
Other events that I have seen include a performance by children's science author Nick Arnold, and a talk hosted by Professor Robert Winston about his life. I was intrigued to know he dabbled with the idea of becoming a theatre director after university. He was passionate in his arguments that IVF has now been priced far too highly by private companies making a large profit. His current research is looking into genetically manipulating large animals so that their organs can be used in humans.
I am now off to enjoy one of the many parties and functions that the "press badge" gets you in to!
See you tomorrow,

After just one day of testing, Felipe Massa says his new F138 is a marked improvement on last year's Ferrari.
The Brazilian was in action on the opening day of pre-season testing, putting his F138 through its pace at the Jerez circuit.
Asked to compare his first day of running this year to last year's, Massa told Autosport: "I think if you compare to last year it is a completely different planet.
"Last year I remember we were struggling a lot to drive the car. It was tricky to keep the car on the track, so this year the base on the car is completely different to last year.
"The car is much more balanced. I felt a good direction on the rear of the car as well, with traction. This is a track that is very difficult on the rear, degradation is very high. I would say that the difference to last year is huge."
Massa, though, concedes there is still a long way to go with the car after finishing sixth on Tuesday's timesheets, 1.675s behind pace-setter Jenson Button.
"The 1m18.8s [Button's time] is an incredible time definitely, but the 1m19.7s [of second fastest Mark Webber] I don't think is.
"If you look at the first day, looking at how we ran, how we drove and the direction we had for the first day, I am not really disappointed.
"There is a lot to do, a lot to work on, a lot to develop on the car for the first race. That is clear. But I am not disappointed."

BMAG's Popular Singles Night Returns Friday 11th February
Friday 11th February 6.30 – 10.00 pm
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery's Singles Night is back by popular demand this year, just in time to meet a new love interest for Valentine's Day.
Guests will be able to enjoy a drink from one of our bars in the beautiful surroundings of the Round Room and Industrial Gallery after dark, whilst listening to live jazz and blues music by 'Tipitina'. There's no need to feel shy – our fun ice breaker activity will get everyone talking, and there will be plenty to discuss on one of our guided tours that night.
Tickets to this event include free entry to the blockbuster exhibition, The Poetry of Drawing', the largest survey of Pre-Raphaelite watercolours and drawings ever staged. The Pre-Raphaelite artists were well versed in the language of love, and there will be plenty to discuss as some of our fun-loving tour guides take groups round the exhibition, or guests are welcome to explore by themselves too.
The sparks of romance at our Singles Nights in the past have already resulted in two marriages and, even if you don't meet the love of your life, you will certainly have a fantastic night out!
Tickets for this event are £10.00 per person. You can purchase your ticket on this website, by calling the box office during museum opening hours (0121 303 1966), or by calling in at the Gas Hall reception desk.
You can follow news from this museum through the RSS 2.0 feed.

Life in Forks this season is great. We are seeing better than average numbers of fish to the fly each day, and getting on some different water than in years past. With the lower flows of the last couple weeks, we have been spending time all over the Hoh River, especially on the lower end down towards tide water. Let me tell you there is nothing that compares to a steelhead fresh from the salt water. These fish are snappy and very angry when hooked. Along with the Hoh, we have spent a few days on the Queets in the last week - which is a great river to escape the crowds on. Being the first year we are permitted by the ONP on the Queets - we will be back down south as soon as the flows drop into shape!
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 inches of rain fell on our heads as we slept last night, making for a nasty rise in all of our river flows. Luckily, I had a scheduled office day today to take care of some administration, napping, and gear work!
Want to hear it straight up from Rooster?? New for the Stonefly in the upcoming months will be streamside fishing reports from Washington, Alaska, and of course Montana. Hope you enjoy them - have a look at version one below!
As soon as the rivers start to drop in - we will be seeing a few more of these rascals - you can count on it!
Thanks for reading - see you next time.
|<< <
|> >>
Have you ever noticed that regardless of the sport -you always want one more? One more cast, one more fish, one more flight of ducks, one more flush on a rooster pheasant - and now, one more good day on the Olympic Penninsula. We just had a good couple days of rain, the rivers bumped up (but remained fishable), and we should be looking at a great finish this week.
Maybe great enough to get one more good day in…..
I have 2 Rio Steelhead tapers that I will make you a great deal on. They are missing about 40 feet of the front end.
The other parts of the lines are on the bottom of the Sol Duc River. I watched 2 steelhead in the last 2 days demonstrate just how tough they can be. In and out of the backing in some bad water, and around a rock both times. The real sad part is both of these fish were pushing the 20# mark.
The rocks on the Duc are jagged and rather errantly placed - and both times the fish managed to cut the main body of the fly line and avoid having his photo taken.
Some guys are complaining of a poor return of fish this season, but we are seeing great opportunities. In my boat alone we hooked over 20 fish in the last 2 days.
Long days - on the water at first light and often times using headlamps to find the get-outs, but it has been paying off.
That is what the calendar at the Chinese Restaurant tells us. I guess we will have to wait and see if they know what they are talking about.
I have been on a couple really great waterfowl hunts lately - and had a good friend and great photographer come along. Brian Grossenbacher out of Bozeman got some great shots of a colder than normal goose hunt, and another mixed bag hunt on a spring creek that provided some of the best action I have seen in a while.
Check out his photos of these hunts, and more at www.grossenbacherphoto.com
Only a few days left until the show season starts, with Marlboro,MA next weekend, and Atlanta, GA the following one - there is sure plenty to do around here to get ready to leave. Its always a sad day when you leave Montana, but it is a great place to return to that is for sure.
Let me know if you like the photo's from Brians site - he likes the feedback!
It wont be too long now and we will be chasing steelhead again!
they say pictures are worth a thousand words….. I believe whoever said that first was right!!
I am in the final stages of getting the new blog online, it should be finished today. Change your bookmarks to the new address please!
Rooster's Ramblings - the new and improved version.
Rods are packed. Flies are tied. I have a couple pairs of shorts, an extra pair of glasses and a couple spools of ox Rio Flourocarbon. No checked baggage here.
Its fixin to snow here like it means it, and the mercury is dropping like a rock. All this snow is going to make for one great summer, but I'll be honest - it's time to get out of here for a while.
Its time to make a withdrawal from the bank of bad habits and go on a flats trip.
I thought it worth mentioning that we once again have a grocery store and liqour store in Twin Bridges! After 2 years without both, it is a welcome change. Sure, you can drive to Butte or Bozeman and save a few bucks, but why would you when you can walk down the street???
It will sure be nice this summer for the Beer Runs!
June is here, and it is a bit diferent around here than most Junes' have been lately. A rancher told me the other day he has never seen it this green and wet in June. We have been fortunate with the river flows, and have been hovering on good to great conditions on the Beaverhead and Big Hole for the last week. My guess is the big stonefly hatch will be a bit later this season than we are used to - as everything including the caddis, the elk dropping calves and the run off are running about 2 weeks behind schedule.
No question a big shot of hot weather will swell our streams to unfishable levels - but our weather forecast is favorable and we should be on the water each day.
Start tying your hopppers now for August!
There is no doubt about it, fall is here. I spent last evening up on a ridge above Twin Bridges listening to a bull elk bugling (and not coming to my calls), in fact I could see the Madison, Jefferson and Ruby Rivers from my vantage point. What a great hunt.
So this morning we decided it was staff appreciation day, and we brought Eric the Chef, Ke'lah the general saint and office manager, and Sue our housekeeper down to the Spring Creek to try their luck on the smarter than average big browns that live in there.
Well, it didn't take Eric long to land his biggest brown ever (first cast)…
Ke'lah got in on the action after missing a few opportunities as well….
As for Sue, well the big one got away!
Here is to a great fall for everyone, whether it is chasing big browns, big elk, or whitetails in the river bottoms - its a great time to be in Montana!
Thanks for reading -
Things are changing around here pretty fast. The high water days of spring are behind us now. As of the last few days, we are in-between hatches and right on the edge of the terrestrial bite turning on. There are a few fish around willing to cooperate, certain banks on certain days on certain rivers…. you get the drift. It's also been pretty interesting ono teh Spring Creek these days. The fish in that clear water are SUPER spooky, but can be tricked on occasion, today NOT being one of those days. With 10 hookups and zero to hand by 2 oclock, we decided it was time to find some shade and enjoy a cold one. A good choice, by any standard.
Here is a guides eye view of some pretty tough fish…
More to come as hopper season winds up!
Until then ….. let 'em eat it!
Lets face it - we do a tremendous amount of nymph fishing out west. I am always looking for a better way, and stumbled across these new indicators during steelhead season. So far so good, they are easy to rig, ride nice and high, and allow that important 90 degree line angle to your flies. Check them out at their website, www.floatmasterco.net or give us a call if you would like to give some a try.
A few times a summer guests ask me how long I have been in this business. My answer usually varies from 15 to 20 years (counting Alaska, Washington, Panama and Montana) - but I just found out I have been mistaken.
If you check out this photo, from circa 1980 in Winchendon, MA - you will see that I actually have been in the outfitting business for quite some time. Maybe it was the whiskey, but apparently I had forgotten about my first venture in the outfitting business - selling nightcrawlers. Thanks for the photo sister Sue.
Most of our guests this summer got to know our latest addition - Willy the chocolate lab. I am pleased to annouce that he is well on his way to becoming more than a potlicking couch potato. He went on his first waterfowl hunt last weekend, and passed with flying colors, retrieving a big old goose for his first retrieve. He sat still in the blind, and for the most part payed pretty close attention.
As for the fall fishing - there have been a few big fish to hand lately - one of the nicer ones that I have netted came from the Big Hole River last week with Kent and Joel. After this cold snap I expect to see a few more of these!
What a great time of year. Pheasant hunting this afternoon with my dogs, Brown trout on the Big Hole in the morning, and checking tree stands for the Whitetail season - there is NO shortage of things to do around here. However - no, I haven't "got my elk yet". (one of the more common greetings heard on the main street of Twin Bridges in the fall…..)
Thanks for reading. Watch for our new video on the home page in the next couple days.
If you have never done it, it may be hard to comprehend. Fishing somewhere that is SO much fun, you cannot imagine that you have to eventually put the tackle away and get on that plane and head back to reality. I wish someone could figure out a decompression chamber for traveling anglers. The Margaritaville bar in the Cancun airport was close, but it almost made the trip home worse. A vacation to recover from your vacation. Thats what we all need.
I always say that getting anywhere that has great fishing involves often times 4 or more modes of transportation. Thsi trip was no different - trucks, planes, hotels, taxicabs, more planes, more taxis, buses and boats. But boy was it worth it.
We visited Pesca Maya fishing lodge in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. www.pescamaya.com The food, the service and the guides were all top shelf. I could expect nothing more from a fishig vacation than what I just experienced. We fished the massive lagoon system on the west side of a narrow strip of land, south of Tolum, where Boca Paila is located, and on the southernmost tip is a small village named Punta Allen. Two days were able to cross the mouth of Ascension Bay and fish the vast system of flats and lagoons along the south shore. The waters and numbers of fish were mind boggling. We caught dozens of bonefish and snook, had over 12 tarpon hooked up, and I had mulitple shots at permit - landing one on the last day of our trip.
No wonder everyone makes such a fuss about Permit. That is one of the greatest fish I have ever put a fly into.
To check out more of my photos from the tropics, and some great action shots check out my photogallery here
One week left to get packed and migrate to the Washington coast, its going to be busy around here!
Back in my charter boat days I used to follow Tred Barta and his fishing styles pretty closely. A fairly argumentative character, known for "The Barta Way", he still remains an icon in both the saltwater and bowhunting worlds. Recently, Tred suffered a terrible tragedy known as a spinal stroke. More on his accident and condition HERE. Paralysis is reality for this condition, and a once unstopable outdoorsman may very well see his next elk or the Jersey Canyons from a wheelchair.
He has always said "Dont take ANYTHING for granted". I think we should all apply that to our lives more. Whether it is teaching your children to fish, training that new puppy, or walking up the river one more hole - we all have room for improvements - me especially.
The only thing lacking after a week at Playa Blanca is a "decompression chamber". 6 days on the flats - a grand slam, multiple shots at permit each day - and way too much tequila made for one heck of a vacation.
I will get photos up tommorrow. Right now its time to go say goodnight to a 3 year old that really missed her daddy this week!
Once again I cant believe we went to Mexico for only one week. Its just not enough time to really get into the swing of things….
The week started out with everyone having multiple shots at Permit - some hooked up, some broke off, some refusals, some landed! What a great start. Everyone found a few bones, some snook and baby tarpon early in the week. Personally I thought I was coming out of the gate strong with a nice permit at noon on the first day. Well - it didnt take long and I was cussing my cast and the fish for not cooperating with me the rest of the week!
As the week pregressed, the weather had us pinned down a couple days, with wind and cloud cover making the fish a bit tough to spot. We nickel and dimed them though and everyone would meet for drinks that evening with sometimes hysterical reports of blown attempts, broken off fish, and of course a few landed fish. For the right fish - you get to uphold the tradition of your first permit and eat the tequila soaked scorpion - wich everyone got to try at least once!
As the weather mellowed and the wind shifted to the south, things picked up considerably, with a couple grand slams being a couple of the highlights. Great job Tyler!
As with any world class fishery, words cant describe it, and photos seldomly get the point across…. here are copule of the highlights.
Like I siad earlier, you just seem to get that hookset down about noon on the last day.
Luckily for Dayna, that was when it really mattered!
What a great trip, with great friends - both new and old. Next season we have the lodge booked for 4 weeks, and its not to early to throw your name in the hat for the last two weeks of February!
Thanks for reading - stay tuned for some photos from the Washington coast and some chrome steelhead.
Pura Vida,
Someone had pointed out lately that there are "other" fish around here than huge brown trout. How about a big old bow to cover that category?
Ian Davis and Dave paying a little respect to the 'bows of Southwest Montana.
As we are hovering around the hump day of our season, it's interesting to watch the styles and flies of the day change. The days of tying on a stonefly nymph and a random beadhead are behind us for a little while. The fish are getting a bit more selective as the water drops. The terrestrial game is in its infant stages, with some zones of the river producing some pretty remarkable hopper and beetle action in the afternoons. It wont be long and we will be feeding the fish foam on a more regular basis.
In the mean time, you are starting to get your moneys worth out of your guide - tapping into the knowledge of the bugs (or lack of them at times), and the holding water the fish will be in.
Its a great time to be a guide in Montana - especially with the water flows and the recent cloudy weather.
As of today its a few days in the office for Rooster - time to let the sunburnt ears turn a different color.
After a week of southern hospitality, and the gratuitous head cold from air travel in the winter it feels great to be back in Montana. It was great seeing all of the folks that stopped by our booth at the show and I look forward to getting some of you on the water this summer.
The weather in MT is a brisk -7F which means the heaters in the shop will be working overtime this week as I start tying steelhead bugs for the coastal season which starts in a couple weeks!
55 degrees and steelheading like the old days. Thanks for a great day on the water Bill and Brad - the switch rod masters.
The next two weeks are going to be good fishing in these parts!
Yessir. I did. Not a huge bull. No big photo safari. I didnt call one in and shoot him with a bow either (my preferred situation). However we did have a great spot&stalk hunt in which an old friend of mine and I each put a big old cow elk in the freezer. That pretty much does it for big game season for me. As far as table fare is concerned, it just doesn't get too much better. Now its time to get these couch potato labradors out in the wheat country of Montana to chase some roosters. I cant wait.
In other news - It looks like R.A. Beattie and Simms have some good footage from their stay at The Stonefly this August up on the Simms website - check it out here Simms Montana Part 1.
Whats next? Log books, Fly tyin', Trade Shows, Mexico and Steelhead season. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Thanks for reading.
