In January, Rabbi Leon Morris wrote to his congregants at Temple Adas Israel, informing them of his decision to move, with his family, to Israel. And next week, the rabbi and his wife, Dasee Berkowitz, who has been integral to the education program at the Sag Harbor synagogue, and their children, Tamir, Yael and Shalva, will depart for Jerusalem.
There, Rabbi Morris will be a vice president of the Shalom Hartman Institute. From Temple Adas Israel, the oldest Jewish congregation on Long Island, he will be joining an organization that describes itself as "a center of transformative thinking and teaching that addresses the major challenges facing the Jewish people and elevates the quality of Jewish life in Israel and around the world."
For 15 years, Rabbi Morris has been rabbi at Temple Adas Israel, for the past four as the first full-time rabbi in its 118-year history.
"Rabbi Morris has become the pied piper of Sag Harbor," said Temple Adas Israel President Neal Fagin, an engineer from Sag Harbor. Rabbi Morris has "taken our temple" from a limited mostly vacation season synagogue "to one where there are activities every day all-year round. We leave our shabbat services with a smile. When Leon conducts his last service, there will be smiles but not a dry eye."
Dr. Perry Silver speaks of how "since our first meeting, I have never seen Rabbi Leon Morris without an open heart and a broad welcoming smile on his face. I once confided to Leon that I doubted the existence of God. Leon then said to me: 'Here's a million dollars, now make me an apple!' I capitulated," said the Sag Harbor dentist.
Members of the temple say Rabbi Morris has been transformative figure in their lives.
"Before meeting Leon, my spirituality and religious observance was sitting on a shelf gathering dust and aging none too gracefully, said psychiatrist Brad Tepper of Noyac. "Through Leon's ever-present compassion, empathy and love, I felt brave enough to dust off a part of my soul and with his nurturance, allowed it to grow."
My life has been transformed by Leon's presence at Temple Adas Israel," said Julie Tatkon Kent of Sag Harbor, a social worker and former New York Police Department officer. "Although I was born a Jew, I was raised a Christian." Rabbi Morris "reconnected me to my Judaism with his compassion, his kindness and love—and his passion for being a rabbi. He is a true teacher. He is a gentle soul. Leon Morris is my spiritual hero." She accompanied him on a recent trip to Israel, and "it was there, in Israel, I saw, I felt, I knew—Leon is an Israeli."
It's "a very idyllic life we've had in Sag Harbor," related Rabbi Morris in an interview about a village noted for being charming, picturesque, a magnet for writers, artists and other creative people.
Still, as he wrote in a recent Temple Adas Israel newsletter: "Israel stands at the center of our Jewish lives. Not only does Israel represent a singular opportunity in modern Jewish history; it represents a renewal and rebirth for the Jewish people."
"Israel," Rabbi Morris wrote, "is the one place where we can make something concrete from Jewish ideas and values that were largely theoretical for 2,000 years. There is nothing theoretical about a state, and about a society. Israel gives us the opportunity to build something out of those ideas and values…. It is a living laboratory of Jewish life."
Rabbi Morris is originally from Connellsville, Pennsylvania, a small town 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Two sets of great-grandparents started stores there. In high school, the only Jew in his class, he was "very open about being Jewish." And although his family wasn't observant, he sought to be. As a youngster, "I asked my mother to light candles on Friday evening." He was driven to services at the nearest synagogue, 30 miles away.
At the University of Pittsburgh, he majored in religious studies, spent a semester at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and backpacked in 1989 through eastern Europe, visiting "endangered Jewish communities."
And between college and rabbinical studies at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, he worked with the Jewish community of Mumbai, India, as a Jewish Service Corps volunteer for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
On a return visit to Mumbai in 2003, he met Dasee Berkowitz, who was doing educational work there. A Barnard graduate with a master's degree in Jewish education from Hebrew University, Ms. Berkowitz's mother is from the Baghdadi Jewish community that came to Calcutta in the 18th and 19th centuries. A Massachusetts native, she had been living in Israel for a decade. They married in 2005.
After being ordained a rabbi at Hebrew Union, Rabbi Morris for three years was director of New York Kollel: A Center for Adult Jewish Study, and then he founded and for 10 years was executive director of the Skirball Center for Adult Jewish Learning at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan.
He succeeded Rabbi Paul Steinberg as rabbi of Temple Adas Israel. Rabbi Steinberg, in a long succession of part-time rabbis at the synagogue, was otherwise vice president of Hebrew Union. In his last of 20 years at Temple Adas Israel, Rabbi Steinberg would have Rabbi Morris substitute for him at times.
In 2010, Temple Adas Israel made a commitment to having a full-time rabbi and Rabbi Morris, Dasee and their first child, Tamir, moved to Sag Harbor from Manhattan. Rabbi Morris and Dasee immersed themselves in making the temple a bustling, busy full-time synagogue.
Indeed, the rabbi gives enormous credit to his wife for much of its growth. "Dasee has been much more than the rabbi's wife," he said. "The biggest, most important change" at Temple Adas Israel has been the drawing in of "families with small children as part of the congregation" and initiatives such as a pre-school program and a mothers' network. "That's all Dasee," he said. The "young families are the ones that are going to drive the character of the synagogue."
Margaret Bromberg, who has been involved with Temple Adas Israel since she was 10 years old, growing up in Sag Harbor in the 1950s, and is a former president of the congregation, said that when she retired as a social worker a few years ago, "one of my goals was to be available for more observance of various Jewish holidays."
She added, though, "I was uncertain that a full-time rabbinical presence was going to be good for me, for our community. After all, for as long as anyone could remember, Temple Adas Israel had never had a full-time rabbi. This meant that we were somehow free from the authority which a rabbi might bring to various individuals' daily, weekly, monthly, or perhaps, even annual observance of Jewish law and customs…Rabbi Morris has, in a quiet, gentle, unassuming way, made it possible for me to approximate my initial goal."
Sag Harbor real estate broker David Weseley, who was "lucky to be on" the trip to Israel with Rabbi Morris speaks of how "through his leadership we met with many agents of change in Israel, learned a ton about the country and its people, had many moments of spiritual discovery and sharing, opened up in surprising ways to each other, and came home as a vibrant and energized group. Not coincidentally, what was accomplished on this trip reflects so many of Leon's outstanding skills and qualities: he is an educator, scholar, spiritual leader and consummate community builder. Leon is that remarkable combination of brilliant and charismatic and warm and above all considerate."
David Lee of East Hampton, long a businessman in Sag Harbor, several times the temple's president and currently its secretary, tells of arriving in Sag Harbor after World War II service in the British army and looking for a synagogue. "I found Temple Adas Israel on the hill. It was in poor shape both physically and from a membership point of view. We hoped and prayed that we could bring it back to life. After over 60 years I'm happy to report that all is well. Much of our success is due to the fact that we have had Leon and Dasee with us."
Rabbi Morris is being succeeded at Temple Adas Israel by Rabbi Daniel Geffen, who has just been ordained by Hebrew Union College. He is from a family of rabbis—his brother is a rabbi, their grandfather a rabbi, and a great-grandfather also a rabbi—and he, too, is a warm, personable, caring and a learned rabbi. He is coming to Sag Harbor with his wife, Luanne (Lu) who is also a Jewish educator with a combined master's degree in Jewish education and non-profit management from Hebrew Union.
Rabbi Geffen says that "to be following in the footsteps of Rabbi Morris and Dasee is both a great privilege and a great responsibility. "Thus, my vision," he says, "is to do whatever I can to continue the tradition of warmth, openness and acceptance that has been established by Rabbi Morris and our rabbinic predecessors, and to work together with this amazing and unique community to build a more just and righteous society here in Sag Harbor and indeed, throughout this all-too-fractured world."

Nelson Mandela and Tanmay Mishra put on a brilliant performance to guide Kenya to a six-wicket win over Namibia to give Kenya a 1-0 series lead of the two World Cricket Championship matches at Wanderers Cricket Grounds in Windhoek, yesterday.
Mandela picked 3 for 31 to help Kenya bowl out the home team for 129 in 43.1 overs while Mishra scored an unbeaten 34 as Kenya won the match with 115 balls to spare.
The 25-year-old right-hander took the attack to the Namibian bowlers during his 49-ball innings, hitting six boundaries to help his team successfully chase a challenging total and thus revive Kenya's chances of qualifying for the 2015 World Cup.
Namibia were in trouble as early as the eighth over at 15 for 3 with Nehemiah Odhiambo having got both the openers and Collins Obuya having enacted a run out.
Craig Williams (11) and Ian Opperman (17) added 20 for the fourth wicket before Mandela struck by trapping Williams lbw. Opperman added 20 more with Gerrie Snyman to move their team scores to 55 before Mandela had dangerman Snyman caught by Obuya for 15 off 16 balls.
Kenya's batting, which was not impressive in the four day match, showed a remarkable improvement as Duncan Allan (15) and Alex Obanda (18) raced to 35 by the sixth over to set their team on course.

Mikati and Berri attend the Pope Francis inaugural mass at the Vatican (The Daily Star/Dalati&Nohra,HO)
BEIRUT: Discussions will resume Wednesday in order to reach consensus on a new electoral law after Lebanon's speaker, prime minister and Maronite patriarch agreed on a three-point-plan to break the deadlock during meetings in Rome.
Political sources told The Daily Star that the plan stipulates holding elections based on a draft electoral law proposed by Speaker Nabih Berri that calls for electing 64 MPs based on proportional representation and another 64 under a winner-takes-all system.
A senate would be established, allowing every sect to elect its own representatives, and a new government would be formed to supervise elections.
Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai is to hold a meeting with head of the Free Patriotic Movement Michel Aoun, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Kataeb chief Amin Gemayel and Marada Movement leader Suleiman Franjieh soon in order to gain their support for the proposal.
For his part, Berri, who returned to Beirut Tuesday night, will try to convince Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt to agree to the plan.
But a senior March 8 source downplayed the Rome talks, saying no breakthrough was achieved.
Sejaan Azzi, deputy-head of Kataeb, said his party had no "official information" about the talks in Rome.
"I believe there is exaggeration in the significance of what happened in Rome. We believe that an agreement on an electoral law should be reached between Lebanese leaders in Lebanon," Azzi said. He added that Rai contacted Gemayel Monday and informed him about his intention to convene a meeting of Christian political leaders.
Similarly, Lebanese Forces MP Fadi Karam said his party still had no official stance on the outcome of the meetings in Rome.
The Future bloc of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri discussed "ideas leaked" from Rome during its weekly meeting and said "it adheres to holding elections on time, based on a law that is in line with the Constitution and does not violate coexistence."
"Based on these principles, [the bloc] announces its readiness to discuss proposed draft laws that contribute to emerging out of this crisis, on the condition that they provide fair representation ... and respect the Taif Accord," a statement said.The bloc reiterated that an initiative proposed by Hariri in January, which calls for holding parliamentary elections based on a winner-takes-all system law with Lebanon divided into small districts, represents a comprehensive solution. Hariri's plan also calls for the establishment of a senate where sects are represented.
Commenting on the Rome meetings, Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun said he was unaware of the results of the discussions: "A consensus draft law was not presented to us."
Aoun reiterated his support for the Orthodox proposal, saying that it, along with one that would adopt all of Lebanon as a single district under proportional representation, is in line with the National Pact.
Meanwhile, President Michel Sleiman highlighted the need to hold elections on time and under a new electoral law.
"We should not think at all of not holding it [elections]," said Sleiman, addressing a delegation from the Lebanese-Nigerian Initiative Association in Lagos. "Others are fighting now to hold elections and have democracy and we are fighting in order to postpone them."
Sleiman said he supported proportional representation, saying it allowed more than one group within every sect to be represented democratically in Parliament.
Batroun MP Butros Harb expressed hope that talks between Berri, Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Rai in Rome could resolve the ongoing crisis.
"However ... the problem lies in the fact that the March 8 coalition is standing firm on its stance: Either the Orthodox proposal or a law that adopts Lebanon as one district under proportional representation, or there is no solution," Harb told reporters at his residence in Hazmieh after meeting independent Christian lawmakers from the March 14 coalition. "These are two contradictory proposals."

No area of the college may throw away inventoried items. Periodically, excess inventory that has not been claimed by other areas of the college may be disposed of using one of the following methods:
Inventoried furniture and equipment* that an area wishes to dispose of may be removed from the area only by contacting plant operations and placing a work order to move the item(s). It is the responsibility of the inventory monitor to complete a "Relocation or Theft of an Asset" form, which documents the movement of the asset. This form is then attached electronically to the work order. The following information should be included:
Once the work order has been executed, it is the responsibility of plant operations to determine if the item should be discarded or moved to excess inventory. Once determined, plant operations will forward the "Relocation or Theft of Asset" form to the inventory coordinator. The inventory coordinator will then update the database.
Once an item is sent to plant operations for storage because the department no longer has any use for it, the item is included in the "excess inventory." Plant operations will keep track of excess inventory items available.
Every effort should be made to find a use for the excess inventory items before permanent disposal. Disposals will be made on a case-by-case basis by the plant operations team.
It is illegal to throw computers in the trash.
Grant Assets
Prior to the sale or disposal of assets purchased with federal grant funds, the college must notify the agency sponsoring the grant. In some instances, the college must obtain permission from the sponsoring grant agency to sell the assets, and the proceeds from the sale must be forwarded to the agency. The finance office maintains documentation on the grants with this requirement.
*Computer equipment, AV equipment, or specialized equipment monitored by other departments requires coordination with that area to dispose of special inventory items. (see list below)

We Make Computers
Crystal Clear
CIT built a computer using plexi-glass casing for a stylish
see-through look at how the computer works inside. Neon lights were installed
to add some flare and make it easy to find in the dark.
The whole project took six hours to build
and cost less than the average price for a comparable PC
made by big name manufacturers. White cloth gloves were
used during the process to prevent smudges on the inside.
The results are a crystal clear view of the inner workings
of the computer.
Not Just for Show
machine is not just a show piece, it also a real performer.
It has an Intel Processor, and a high-end video card able
to support 3D rendering and other video applications, and a 19-inch flat-panel monitor. A wireless keyboard and mouse complete
the system.
Step by Step Follow the Process
We have an animation of the process. You can check it out here or run it from
the machine itself right in CIT! If you're curious about how things work
inside your computer, then come down and take a look. We'll be happy to explain
what you see. Watch the animation (9 MB)

BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. -- A dance party moved to a nearby parking lot after a bomb threat prompted an evacuation at the Earle Brown Heritage Center Saturday night.
According to Sgt. Rick Gabler, a bomb threat was called into the convention center around 9 p.m. Armstrong High School students attending prom and the guests of two wedding receptions had to be evacuated. Police say the evacuation was a necessary safety precaution.
Armstrong High School Principal David Dahl says police established a staging area in the parking lot of Target across the street where students were allowed to gather or get picked up by their parents.
After an extensive search of the building, Gabler says nothing suspicious was found.

Light Painting - March 2015
We had so much fun "painting" with light! The room was buzzing with creativity. If you want to light paint at home, find a dark room, put a digital camera into manual mode, change the shutter speed to 15 seconds or long exposure setting, and use bright flashlights with focused light to "paint" in the air. It's that easy! Try out light painting at home and make sure to share your photos with the librarians!
Take a look at the amazing results below!
Artbots - March 2015
We had an awesome time making artbots - robots that move and create their own art. We used pool noodles for the body and put a motor from an electric toothbrush into the pool noodle. Next, we attached markers for feet, and decorated our artbots!
Check out the video below to see the artbots in action!

Our team purpose is direct and simple. We are traveling and working with one goal in mind; to learn about what we should do with our lives. The hardest part of this journey will be blocking out the noise of what everyone is telling us to do. Our efforts will hopefully discover what we want from life and will erase what public opinion tells us to do unless it truly is what we are passionate and desire.

Stunning snow landscapes that capture silence from photographer Akos Major
There's distinct change in the the air when it snows here in the UK. Eschewing the panic that first occurs, it's after everything calms down and the traffic stops that I like best – when all that's heard is a chilled, fleecy wind draping itself around the softened snow-covered cars and houses. So of course I've been drawn the simplicity of Hungarian photographer Akos Major's work and more specifically his series Lumen where snow laced landscapes are shot so beautifully it makes me wish for more of those snow-capped spells.
I've seen these type of landscapes before in photography but it's the execution in this seres that makes me feel like Akos has managed to visualise silence beautifully. With such a sparse but painterly approach, the thoughtful composition hypnotises me until photographic snow blindness ensues. Described as "muted happiness" by Akos, the desolate tranquility contrasts natural elements like skeletal trees and woodland animals against the harsher, industrial structures, alluding to man's footprint in these serene landscapes.

"The better measure of head efficiency is computing the coefficient of discharge. This is simply the airflow at each lift point divided by the valve curtain area, which is valve circumference multiplied by lift. Let's say we have two heads that both flow 300 cfm at 0.400-inch lift. One has a 2.200-inch valve and the other has a 2.100 valve. If you multiply each valve by Pi to get the circumference, you can then multiply that figure by the lift to obtain 2.76- and 2.63-inches, respectfully. Now divide the 300 cfm by each valve circumference to obtain 108.7 and 114.0 cfm/inch, respectfully. I know that is an odd unit of measure, but it is the correct terminology. In this example, you can see the smaller valve clearly has more velocity, will be easier to cam, and will generally run faster. This is the best way for the average consumer to compare two heads to one another."
Tony McAfee: "The area of a port dictates how much flow is capable through a given orifice size. We probe different parts of port in order to measure velocity in feet per second. People often use too big of a cylinder head on a motor. Our 227cc small-block Chevy heads flow 50 cfm more than our 180cc as-cast heads, but won't make as much power on a typical 350 because the engine can't use the head's flow potential. Now if you put a bigger cam in it, raise compression, and install a better intake manifold, then the 227cc heads will work much better. Generally, as the rpm range of an engine goes up, the more air it can use. The more cycles per second a motor turns, the more velocity and airflow it needs. High-velocity ports aren't as important, but are still necessary on a high-rpm motor. After about 350 feet per second, fuel becomes detached from the air, so there is a tradeoff. Sharp areas near the valve job helps put the fuel back into suspension. This is important, because even with good atomization, some fuel still runs down the walls of the port. That said, without testing it's hard to figure out what head you really need. Your best bet is asking people with experience building similar combinations to yours for advice."

Darin Morgan: "The short-side radius is a big factor and is tied to the main overall advantage of raised intake runners. By raising the port entrance, you're taking air speed velocity load off the short-side radius. The lower the port gets, the more the air speed at the short-side radius goes up, and the more critical its shape becomes. Lower ports force you to lower the air speed to get the air to negotiate the short turn, which wastes energy. Ideally, the short-side radius needs to be shaped to have the highest air speed throughout the rpm range without disrupting the boundary layer. In essence, the short-turn radius controls torque, mid-range, and top end power. If you stand it up and make it really fast, you will increase torque and kill top end. If you lay it back and reduce air speed, it will kill low-end torque and increase top end power. Not only do raised intake ports offer more latitude in shaping the short-side radius, they also yield smaller fast-burn combustion chambers and offer a better overall induction system path and design. The higher ports move more air through the engine since the airflow path is straighter, and enables a properly tuned intake manifold runner to be aimed directly at the carburetor booster. The straighter flow path keeps the air/fuel mixture in suspension far better than any low-port flow path ever could, since there's less frictional loss and fuel fallout. An airflow mixture entering the combustion chamber from a straight high-port induction path is more homogeneous and burns faster, producing more power with better BSFC numbers.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1991 Ford Mustang LX Coupe - Motivational Posters
Wes Ryan relied on friends near and far to get his '91 LX coupe here
Back in the day, if you took on a project you could really only rely on local buddies to help keep you motivated. Maybe it was family members or close friends, but they had to live nearby in order to help you see a project through. Sure, you could call long-distance pals for a pep talk, but other than that, you were on your own. These days, thanks to the interwebs, people you've never met, and probably never will, are able to provide moral support to help keep you on task.
Such is the case for Cortlandt Manor, New York's Wes Ryan. He used motivation from across the country to get his '91 LX coupe to this point.
"Most car guys have certain vehicles that grab their attention," Wes says. For this NYPD detective, a Fox Mustang will always be that vehicle. His first car at the age of 15 was a red T-top '83 GT, after all. "That was the beginning of this addictive hobby for me," Wes says. Of course, at around 15-16 years old, it's all about having fun. You have life by the tail, you're flying by the seat of your pants. However, soon enough life steps in to spoil the fun, but as Wes accurately points out, being a car guy doesn't ever go away. "It's always inside of you, sometimes dormant, but still there nonetheless," Wes adds.
For Wes, life happened, and Mustangs came and went after the '83, but shortly after marrying his wife Michelle, he waited patiently to revive his inner car guy. Wes stumbled upon a rather fed-up owner after enduring it's last AOD rebuild. The '91 LX coupe was available for just above the price of the transmission rebuild, and $2,800 later a stock, one-owner LX coupe was parked in Wes' garage.
The car started out as a cruiser, transitioned to track duty, and back to cruising. After going through these phases in 10 years of ownership, Wes decided the car needed some attention. "I needed a simple combo with clean body lines and amazing paint I could enjoy with the wife and kids," Wes says. He does mention "life" was well underway at that point so he wanted a car everyone could enjoy. His '01 Bullitt—one of the cars that had entered Wes' life after the '83—had become more race car than street car thanks to a Wolfe Racecraft cage and a YSi-Trim supercharged Two-Valve capable of shaking the neighbor's coffee table. Most of us build a car too far past streetable. We end up selling that car and starting over with a street car. Wes didn't have to do that. He simply had to build the coupe into something his Bullitt had surpassed.
Wes' Project Family Values had some talented champions spurring the effort. Namely Martin Ochs (MartyO) of Mo's Speed Shop, and Derrick Smith of Smith's Paint and Restoration. A plan was hatched, and Wes was to get the wheels in motion by stripping the car to a bare shell in getting it down to Georgia for MartyO and Derrick to take over. Yep, you heard right, Wes lives in New York, while his friends' shops are in Georgia. Wes stripped the car, took it down South, and the Southern hospitality must've had an impact because he's been trying to change his address ever since.
He tasked MartyO with adding tubular subframe connectors, boxed and welded subframe connectors, and a smoothed engine compartment. With those steps complete, the car took the short trip over to Derrick's body shop with Wes' goal of masking its factory white hue in mind. "Derrick went on to prep and spray the complete interior, trunk, and undercarriage before moving on to the exterior panels," Wes explained. The color is PPG Deltron Dark Cherry Pearl, while the undercarriage and floor pans are coated with 3M Body Schutz to maintain a clean look and reduce noise. You know, to help with the car's main function.

Glee's Nolan Funk: Being Lindsay Lohan's Lover Is "Fun"— Exclusive
Tonight — Tuesday, April 16 — Glee's Nolan Gerard Funk (Hunter) makes his big debut on MTV's Awkward. The former Warbler now has recurring role a new troublemaker (and possible love interest for Jenna) on Season 3 of the MTV show.
Later this year, you can see Nolan in yet another role: playing Lindsay Lohan's love interest in the erotic thriller The Canyons. Yes, he'll be swapping spit with LiLo.
Wetpaint Entertainment recently spoke exclusively with Nolan, and we had to take a moment to ask about what it's like to work with Lindsay. After all, we've read plenty of reports that suggest she isn't exactly the easiest person to work with.
"I actually had a ton of fun working with her," Nolan tells us. "We play lovers and The Canyons is sort of like Cruel Intentions meets American Psycho."
Strike that earlier statement. Something tells us these two will be doing a lot more than just swapping spit in the flick.
"My character has a really incredible arc in that film," Nolan says. "The very beginning, it's like you open on this wholesome face who has sort of all these hopes and dreams, and by the end of the movie, it's sort of like the path of devastation in a very cruel Bret Easton Ellis [author of American Psycho] way."
Lindsay's character, it appears, is very much a part of that downfall. "Like, I start out just with all the hope imaginable, and then through having an affair with Lindsay's character and a bunch of other stuff goes down."
So what exactly is Lindsay like to work with on set? Nolan doesn't get into too many details, but he will say this: "I would always rather work with somebody who's eccentric and interesting than somebody who's boring."

one day left, ahhh
i have one more paper I am quickly finishing so I can actually be 'done' with school work. Besides a masters project, it's over. One possibility for a masters project is with Team COOL, conducting a descriptive analysis on the baseline data from specifically nutrition-related questions from the surveys the high school students were given last fall. I think that sounds just right. I also have a possible lead on a job, who hoo.
Other things that are looking peachy:
I'm taking the train this week to visit my sister in Montana, when she will have a small marriage ceremony before her & her bf will move to Australia. I hope I can make it work out with my work schedule. Then I will have a car and I can drive to races and do my thing. I did run a 10k a week or two ago, and ran one second faster than my time last year. But, I think I am overall faster considering that this year is was about 20 degrees warmer than last year, which makes loads of a difference. I also had lots of fun with my friend Lisa, who came into town this past week for a conference. We went to a twins game- they lost, but our seat were pretty good and it was also good fun.
Also, I am planning on doing my first duathlon may 20- the gear west duathlon in orono, mn. so nervous already. I really need to get my aero bars before that and some bike shorts (ouch!)

Tomb Raider Video Review
Keep On Surviving
Check out our video review of Tomb Raider!
"Tomb Raider is a triumphant reboot, make no mistake, but it's sullied by too many safe design choices, a tame cast and a frustrating tendency to rely on the past successes of others. Tomb Raider could have been so much more. It's a must-have purchase for Xbox 360 and PC owners, but if you own a PS3 there's a better team of explorers to choose from… Nate, Sully, Elena and Chloe to be precise."

Windows Phone Sauce Developer Lab : Intro To Data Binding And Events
Windows Phone Sauce Developer Lab : Hello, World
In this post, we explore the basic syntax of Windows Phone 7 and make our very first Windows Phone 7 App. Let's get started right away
1 : Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone.
2 : Go to File > Project > Silverlight for Windows Phone. You can see all the installed templates for Windows Phone 7 here. Select Windows Phone Application template – Choose location and name the project and Click Ok.
3 : As soon as the project loads , you will see the Solution Explorer loaded with some files. Let us take a quick look at what these files do
Properties > AppManifest.xml : This manifest file is used to generate the application package
Properties > Assemblyinfo.cs : This file contains the data about name and version of the assembly
Properties > WMAppManifest.xml : Like the AppManifest file, WMAppManifest file includes metadata about Windows Phone application – specifically Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 application
References : This folder consists of libraries and services that are sometimes embedded in the application.
App.xaml > App.xaml.cs : The App.xaml file has code written in the XAML language. It is used to create UI elements . With the help of code-behind files ( App.xaml.cs ) the UI elements are connected to the code. This is the code that runs when the app is initialized.
ApplicationIcon.png : As the name suggests , this image represents the application in the phone application list
Background.png : This is a slightly bigger image than ApplicationIcon and shows up in the Start Screen
SplashScreenImage.jpg : When you launch the application , this image gives an impression that the app is being launched. It is a good practice to design this page according to the first page of your application so that it looks like your application has loaded successfully.
MainPage.xml > MainPage.xml.cs : It is a page which has a UI and the corresponding code stored in MainPage.xml.cs.
4 : We will now explore the App.xaml file . Open App.xaml by double clicking on it . You will see the XAML code. The
As mentioned earlier – App.xaml is the entry point of an application. This means when the application is launched – App.xaml is executed first.
Now right click on App.xaml and click on "View Code". The code behind file opens up and you can see the event handlers.
Exploring the IDE a bit more :
When you click on the MainPage.xaml , you will see the XAML Designer open up . You can see the code to the right of the designer and the Windows Phone 7 UI on the left . Using the buttons ( marked in red and black ) – you can switch between XAML Code and the Designer Mode
Jet , Set and Code !
1) Go the MainPage.xaml and look out for the following line of code
This is the code for the text blocks. Change the "My Application" and "page name" in the xaml code ( Note : This can also be changed by choosing the Text Blocks and changing the Text property from the Properties window )
Switch to Design mode and you will now see the updated text.
2) Let's now shift our focus to the toolbox ( usually on the left of the Visual Studio – If not present , Click on View > Toolbox )
Drag and Drop "TextBlock" Control onto the design surface. Now drag and drop a "Button" Control.
The Design surface will now look something like this
3) We are almost there ! After you have designed the UI – you need to write the code to perform some action.
Select the Button – Go to the Properties toolbar and click on Events and Click on the dropdown button besides "Click" .
You will see immediately the code behind file opens up and the cursor lands between the button click event. Type the following code
Note : Another easy way to do this would be to double click on the button which would create the Button Click event.
Here we have instructed the textblock to display "Hello World" when the button click happens.
( Note : We have used the default names for textblock and button , but it is advised to change them to something more sensible )
Go ahead and click on the Start Debugging ( or Press F5 ) . The Windows Phone 7 Emulator will load your app.
Congratulations ! You have just designed your first Windows Phone 7 app
Getting Started with Windows Phone 7 Development : Windows Phone Sauce Developer Labs
Hello and Welcome to the first post of our Windows Phone 7 Development Series – In this post we will introduce you to the tools we will be using for the development of Windows Phone 7 applications
To get started – We would advise you to download the following tools from here in the same order as mentioned.
First Download Windows Phone 7 Developer tools 7.0 and install it.
After you are done installing the SDK , Install the Update patch.
And when you are done with it , Install the Windows Phone Developer Tools Fix.
If you have a Windows Phone 7 Device , Read this and this.
Note : We would be working on Windows Phone 7 developer tools 7.0 and later in the workshop shift to 7.1 SDK . The reason being that 7.1 Developer tools are in Beta mode and any application developed using them cannot be submitted to the App Hub.
1) Visual Studio 2010 Express : We would be using the Visual Studio 2010 Express IDE for developing Windows Phone 7 apps. Windows Phone 7 Development won't happen on earlier versions. You can use other versions of Visual Studio 2010 like Professional and Ultimate ( If you are a student , Check out DreamSpark program from Microsoft where you can get Development tools for free )
2) Windows Phone Emulator : The apps you develop will be deployed on the Windows Phone Emulator for testing . Until recently , the emulator did not support Geo Location and Accelerometer . With Windows Phone 7.1 Beta tools , it has been fixed.
3) Silverlight : Silverlight is the base application framework for Windows Phone 7 Applications. Silverlight can access the unique features of Windows Phone 7 and helps developers build graphically appealing applications.
4) XNA Game Studio 4.0 : The XNA Game Studio 4.0 is used for developing Games for Windows based PC's , X-Box Consoles and obviously Windows Phone 7.
5) Microsoft Expression Blend for Windows Phone 7 : The Expression Blend helps you to create a rich UI experience for your end user. It smoothly integrates with Visual Studio so you can design the UI in Blend and code in Visual Studio.
Throughout the series , we will be using many controls and add-ons. Link to the same will be provided in the article itself.
So, what are you waiting for ? Go ahead and download these tools . In our next post , we will start with the standard "Hello World" application.
Windows Phone Sauce Developer Labs
Microsoft Released Windows Phone 7 on October 26th last year with only 1000 applications available in the Marketplace. Around 2 weeks ago , we reported that the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace crossed 20,000 apps roughly in 219 days. These figures clearly show the efforts put in by Redmond are paying off .
With the Mango SDK already available, 500 new features, 1500 new APIs and Microsoft working to bring Mango to Developers before consumers – Developing for Windows Phone 7 all of a sudden has got everybody interested.
We at Windows Phone Sauce have decided to start a Windows Phone Development Series in the coming weeks that lets you develop apps for Windows Phone 7 right from the scratch. Join us as we get our hands dirty with code.
Watch out this space for more updates

We really are simply the best domain registrar and resellers.
Here's why:
Who are the people behind Domain Box?
ICANN's New gTLD programme has been under lots of scrutiny in recent months. A glitch in the application system for New gTLDs allowed certain applicants to view the usernames and attachment filenames of other applicants. The system was taken down on 12th April so that ICANN could fix this security hole and ensure applicants data is kept secure. Since then they have created a series of FAQs to keep applicants informed of their progress and stated that applicants can receive a full refund if they withdraw their applications before ICANN go public with a list of domain extensions that have been applied for.
The latest update on this story is the news that ICANN have set 22nd May as their target date for reopening TAS. They will then leave the system open for 5 business days, closing the application system again on 30th May. ICANN have previously also stated that any applicant who gained any unfair advantage from the data they may have seen relating to other users, could have their applications rejected. There are no reports to suggest that any user has yet had their application blocked.
ICANN continue to reaffirm their confidence that the number of users affected by the glitch is very small. In a statement released yesterday by Akram Atallah, COO of ICANN, the suggestion was that work on TAS is ongoing, along with going back through server logs and system traffic. Atallah said "any new and relevant information that emerges from this analysis will be shared with applicants in a timely way".
There is still no date set for the "Big Reveal", when ICANN make public the list of New gTLDs that have been applied for. If you are a domain reseller, this news could give you a glimpse into the future of the domain name industry. As there is no date set, the time limit for withdrawal of applications, to receive a full refund, is currently unknown.
Domainbox.com will keep all our domain resellers up to speed with any new developments in the New gTLD programme and hope to be offering these new gTLDs as soon as we can!

Round 2: Boycott, Divestment, Debate
Tue, 2014-03-25 23:17
Thanks for keeping me brief. I ran out of letters in the subject block. This magazine would be a wonderful place to run a series of pieces on how the Jewish state is supposed to work, what it accomplishes, what it's for, what the idea of it is. If there is such a thing as legal development, law develops by people writing about "there ought to be a law" in this or that situation. Israel seems to have arrived without any such discussion and its continuing presence seems to have as its main effect on law, legalism, legitimacy, and legitimism (to coin a term) the discouragement of discussion about its legal idea. I looked up "Israel" on an electronic data base in the local law school library about three years ago (in the US) and found one law journal article: a plea written by a law student, at some length, for legal scholarship in the US law school community on Israel; he described himself as Jewish. One piece. It's like a David Steinberg joke back before he got trimmed. It's like an Egyptian judge sentencing 528 guys to death for killing one and the same policeman (was he really dead?) (he was REALLY really dead). This is your discussion?

When marburg fever recently broke out in Katumba sub-county, Kabale district and claimed lives, some residents blamed it on witchcraft. It took the intervention of health experts to explain that it was not witchcraft but a fatal disease that needed more than just spiritual healing.
By press time, over six people had died, after showing symptoms linked to the deadly virus, while about 158 patients are being monitored.
What is marburg fever?
According to the World Health Organisation, marburg haemorrhagic fever is a severe and highly fatal disease caused by a virus in the same family as that one that causes ebola.
Dr. Winyi Kaboyo, the assistant commissioner in charge of veterinary public health at the health ministry, says marburg fever is a severe zoonotic disease, which is transmitted from animals to human beings.
"Evidence shows that the virus resides in bats and monkeys. However, primates can be infected spontaneously from an unknown source," he explains.
Kaboyo says anybody, regardless of age, can contract the virus if they get into contact with it.
The marburg virus is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of an infected person.
Transmission of the marburg virus also occurs by handling ill or dead infected wild animals such as monkeys and bats.
People get the disease if they are bitten by infected bats or if they inhale air with a high concentration of the virus, Kaboyo says. For example, the outbreak that occurred in Kamwenge district in 2007 affected miners in Kitaka mines because they had to go through caves, which were inhibited by bats.
According to Dr. Pauline Byakika, the head of the Infectious Disease Unit at Mulago Hospital, other forms of transmission include exposure to primate tissues from infected apes.
She says once the virus has invaded the population, it spreads from person to person through getting in direct contact with blood and body secretions, for example, saliva, tears, breast milk, semen, vomitus, stool and urine of an infected person.
"The incubation period of the virus lasts up to 21 days. On average, people who have the marburg virus start displaying signs and symptoms within four to 10 days," explains Byakika.
According to Byakika, the fever starts with nonspecific symptoms and may be mistaken for other infections.
The major indicator of the disease is bleeding because the virus interferes with the clotting of blood. The patient presents with vomiting blood, bloody watery stool; bleeding in the nose, eyes, ears, gums, anus and under the skin - in what appears like a bruise. Other symptoms include high fever as well as joint and muscle pain.
Byakika says before the symptoms manifest, the patients are not infectious because they are not shading the virus in their fluids.
Kaboyo says there is no drug or vaccine for the fever. Patients only get supportive treatment for the symptoms. For example, they are given treatment to bring down the fever, or pain killers to soothe the pain and plenty of fluids and electrolytes (mineral salts) to replace the fluid lost, especially through vomiting.
Caretakers should wear protective gear like gloves, since body contact remains the major mode of infection.
Byakika advises that:
One avoids getting close to corpses and coffins of the dead, especially in the affected areas.
Health workers should always use protective gear to avoid infections.
Seek medical check-up when one suspects they might have been infected by the virus.

My brother's son in law is a total jerk. I had only played with him once and it'll be the last. The dude has no personality or a sense of humor. The "F" bombs flew after after every frickin shot! And, most of those shots weren't half bad. His friend was an absolute blast to play with, but that will be the last round I'll ever play with that guy. I would have had more fun throwing the greens fees out the car window on the way in.

Aliens are Sinners
To paraphrase Carl Sagan: in one unremarkable galaxy among hundreds of billions, there is an unremarkable star among hundreds of billions of stars in that one galaxy. Around that star revolves a world with life. Some people who live on that world believe they are the center of the universe.
Sagan nicely puts into perspective how absurd it is to believe, given our current knowledge of the cosmos, that we are the center of all things, either physically at the literal center, or metaphorically as in, we are the most important things in the universe. This is a childish view, held by our ancestors because they couldn't know any better. Science, as Stephen Gould noted, is partly a process of smashing pillars of human narcissism. Neither the earth, nor our sun, nor our galaxy are at the center of the universe. The universe, it turns out, has no center. Neither are humans at the pinnacle of the evolutionary tree – we are just one twig, and every other twig has just as much evolutionary history behind it as we do.
Humans are certainly the most encephalized species on the planet, with by far the most advanced culture and technology, so we are special in that sense. Every time, however, scientists believe they have nailed down something that is unique about humans, some researcher finds that chimps (our closest cousins), or even other species, can do it too. We are part of the animal kingdom, part of this physical world, the result of natural processes that seem ubiquitous throughout the universe.

Dean of Student Life Suzy M. Nelson recently announced that she will step down from her office and accept a position as vice president and dean of Colgate College. Nelson was the first to occupy the position of Dean of Student Life, a position that was created in 2009. While we are glad that the position exists insofar as it has the capacity to invigorate student life and demonstrates a commitment on the part of the College to improve its performance in this area, it has, unfortunately, pursued this goal in all the wrong ways. Regrettably, the Office of Student Life is often all too eager to penalize student groups that are within its reach rather than those unaffiliated with the University that present a real threat to student wellbeing. In doing so, the OSL harms those groups that are not a big part of the problem and make social life at Harvard even more dependent on those outside organizations. This runs counter to the office's ideal role as a proponent of student life. In this spirit, we hope that Nelson's successor will serve as more of an advocate for student life and make the OSL a more accessible and cooperative resource for students.
While it often seems that there are too many deans and officers overseeing their own little fiefdoms at Harvard, the Dean of Student Life is one whose existence is truly necessary and welcome recent creation. For the vast majority of students, extracurricular activities are an enormously significant component of life at Harvard, and for many, extracurricular commitments are even more rewarding than academics. The Dean of Student Life and the OSL are thus uniquely poised to enrich one of the most important aspects of a Harvard education.
Unfortunately, the OSL has in many ways squandered that opportunity. The office has taken to targeting student organizations in an attempt to make a clearly visible effort to stem dangerous drinking. However, like so many other programs designed to look good but not confront the real problem, these initiatives do nothing to target final clubs or groups like them that really lie at the center of Harvard's alcohol woes where and when they occur. Indeed, by attacking these largely benign college-recognized organizations, and turning them into scapegoats for concerned parents and alumni, the OSL makes it only more likely that the social scene at Harvard will slip farther out of their purview into less regulated and less safe spaces.
The treatment of student organizations is in large part problematic because the OSL has placed a disproportionate emphasis on alcohol in regards to their duties. While alcohol use is understandably a concern for all, the OSL's exceedingly narrow focus on this issue prevents them from addressing many other concerns that they really ought to be working on.
With this in mind, we hope that the new Dean of Student Life will be one that has had experience working as advocates for student groups
The new dean should also make the OSL more transparent and accessible to students. Currently, the OSL and its services are notoriously difficult to deal with. It is a common complaint of students that the OSL responds slowly or that administrators are difficult and unfriendly. Indeed, the OSL is notoriously bureaucratic, which has made it difficult for students to communicate with the office effectively. This must be improved.
Also difficult to interact with are many of the OSL's most basic services for student organizations. Its room reservation portal, for example, is cumbersome and difficult to understand. The Student Organization Center at Hilles, already inconvenient for most students because of its location in the Quad, is made even more so by the restrictions imposed on students to using it. The SOCH Cinema, for example, cannot be reserved by organizations without obtaining licenses for films that they would like to screen, a process that is unreasonably expensive for students to take on.
The OSL's focus on policing rather than supporting student organizations has been detrimental to student life at Harvard. While we understand that it is OSL's responsibility to step in when student welfare is demonstrably at risk, we urge the office to understand itself, first and foremost, as the proponent of student life that it should be.

John Hurt has fond memories of holidays in the Lakes
Last updated at 20:03, Thursday, 23 February 2012
The instantly recognisable voice of British actor John Hurt will fill the main house of Keswick's Theatre by the Lake on Sunday when he takes part in the town's annual film festival.
The award-winning actor will share his love of film and talk about his long, varied career during a question-and-answer session at Keswick Film Festival.
The four-day event kicked off last night with an opening party attended by Hurt, which was followed by a screening of In Love With Alma Cogan, produced by Hurt's wife Anwen Rees-Myers.
He was invited to the festival after meeting its artistic director Ann Martin at the Dinard Film Festival in France.
He said: "I told her I would love to come to the Lake District again. I haven't been there for such a long time and my wife has never been so we are having a bit of a holiday at the same time.
"I hiked all over the Lake District in the 50s with my brother Michael.
"We had family holidays in the Lake District. We used to camp on a farm near Patterdale.
"I have always loved it; it is always difficult to say what you like so much about something but I think it is because it is always exciting.
"It is not so big that it is daunting and you can walk round the corner and there is a whole new vista."
Some of Hurt's most memorable films include Midnight Express, The Elephant Man and Alien.
He has starred more recently in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Lost Skull, three Harry Potter films and the Oscar-nominated Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
This month he received the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award at the Baftas.
"I was very moved," he said. "It was completely unexpected."
Since graduating from RADA in 1961, Hurt has won three best actor Baftas.
His roles in Midnight Express and The Elephant Man earned him Academy Award nominations.
Dissecting his work is more commonly the preserve of his fans. The man himself, now 72, said he was not inclined to peer through his past.
He added: "I tend to look forward rather than back, although you can't help having a squint back now and then.
"I don't think anybody ever does anything in life without looking at it and thinking 'How could I have done it better?', otherwise you'd be in a puddle of contentment."
The festival will show a selection of his films, including Australian movie Lou in which Hurt plays an old sailor with Alzheimer's Disease, short film Sailcloth which is tipped for an Oscar nomination and Lars von Trier's end-of-the-world film Melancholia starring Kirsten Dunst.
Hurt's portrayal of Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant and, 34 years later, in An Englishman In New York will also be shown.
Hurt said: "The Naked Civil Servant was a watershed piece of television and it was the biggest break I had. Everyone needs a break and that was mine."
The festival, run by Keswick Film Club, is in its 13th year and is supported by Lottery funding from Creative England.
Hurt said: "I am very in favour of festivals because it is good for all films and audiences as well, especially for somewhere a bit out of the way because audiences get to see films that they would otherwise have to travel quite far to see."
Tickets are available by calling 017687 77441. A festival pass is £35 members/£45 non-members/£25 concessions; single screenings £4 members/£5 non-members/£3 concessions; student Saturday pass £10.

The Future of Stent Technology Highlighted at TCT 2009
Standard drug-eluting stent technology seemed to have taken a backseat at this year's TCT as cardiologists look forward to the next-generation DES using bioresorbable polymer coatings and totally bioresorbable stents.
Advanced Visualization Aids Cardiac Imaging
The use of advanced visualization software has become a necessity due to the vast image data sets produced by cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR). The technology is known for making pretty, color 3D pictures, but users say the technology goes a long way to help increase efficiency, speed diagnoses, and can guide procedures in the OR and cath lab.
The Cardiac Device Market Outlook for 2010
In recent years, the U.S. cardiac device market has focused on dynamics in the drug-eluting stent (DES) segment – including events ranging from the 2006 BASKET-LATE trial that caused a tremendous decline in DES usage to the 2008 launch of three new DES brands in the U.S. Focus in 2010 will shift somewhat, with a relatively steady DES market leaving room for other areas to heat up.
Cardiac PET Adoption Gets a Boost
Our profession faces one of the most significant crises in its history," said Michael Graham, M.D., president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM), regarding the shortage of nuclear medicine radioisotopes.
Insights Into Cardiac Imaging for 2010
With new CPT reimbursement codes for cardiac computed tomography (CT) starting in January 2010, there will likely be renewed interest in CT this coming year.
Changing the CRT Clinical Pathway with 3D Ultrasound
Echocardiography has played an integral role in the diagnosis and treatment of millions of patients with cardiac diseases. Recent advances in echocardiographic technology have improved patient care and created novel ways to diagnose disease, which have had an immediate impact on patient management.
VADs May Be More Effective Than Balloon Pumps
Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs), introduced in the 1970s, have been considered the standard of care for short-term circulatory support for more than two decades. However, there has been a growing trend over the past few years toward percutaneous ventricular assist devices (VADs), which some cardiologists say have some big advantages over IABPs.

ESPNs THINKERS: Eric Pollard
It goes without saying that Eric Pollard is one of the most influential skiers out there and has been for almost a decade. Pollard is set apart from most not only with his effortless style, but also with his artistic and development talent. Whether it be pushing the industry with his ski shapes and profiles, his incredibly detailed pieces of art (that are on top of our skis), or the insanely beautiful and fun videos that Nimbus comes out with to entertain the masses, saying Eric Pollard is influential in the ski industry would be an understatement.
It's just good to see him get the credit he deserves. Check out Pollard being highlighted in ESPN's Thinkers Series.
When he's not painting or filming or being otherwise artistic, Eric Pollard, 27, is a pro skier. In 2007, Pollard joined up with Andy Mahre, Pep Fujas, Chris Benchetler and Eric Iberg to form Nimbus Independent, a film company with the goal of creating ski footage unlike any produced before. Now Nimbus releases a series of films throughout the season on their website. The next episode, part of a collection of trip-based films called "En Route," drops September 15. We spoke to Pollard about working for free, fine art and what inspires his ideas.
When we first started Nimbus, we wanted to do something completely new. I said, 'Let's stop talking about it, let's do it.' We've tried out many different formats. We've done DVD, we've tried to sell it online, we've given it away. We're constantly fine tuning. Our goal is to entertain and share our perspective on skiing in a package that's consumable for people.
I don't actually get paid from Nimbus. As a business, it's not successful. It's been a lot more work than I anticipated — it's almost a full-time job. But it's worth it. I wouldn't say I do it for the love. I do it because I like to control how we're being portrayed. I like treating each movie like an art piece.

September 14, 2009
Hoffman Estates, Ill. (Sept. 14, 2009) – American InterContinental University (AIU) announced today that it was named a top military friendly school by G.I Jobs Magazine. This annual list includes the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools, which are doing the most to embrace America's veterans as students.
"AIU strives to do all it can to make the learning experience a smooth and successful transition for our nation's service men and women," says Stephen J. Tober, CEO of AIU and President of AIU Online. "I am proud that AIU has been included on this list, and it's a testament to our continued effort to embrace our country's veterans and active military. In fact, nearly one-third of our students are affiliated with the military."
G.I. Jobs Magazine surveyed more than 7,000 schools nationwide to create the 2010 list. To be included on the list, schools had to meet a set of criteria including efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students, results in recruiting military and veteran students and academic accreditation.
AIU continues to serve military students by developing policies and programs that make education possible for these students and their families. AIU recently announced that it is a full participant in the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill and Yellow Ribbon program, which allows qualified veterans to receive grants to help cover tuition and fees equal to the most expensive in-state undergraduate education at a public university. AIU generally accepts military training as transfer credit and offers a Freedom Grant to qualified military students. For more information about AIU, visit www.aiuniv.edu.

Joseph A. "Joe" DiPaola Jr., an award-winning Baltimore Sun photographer whose 1962 picture of the controversial nose-to-nose Preakness finish resulted in the suspension of a jockey, died Friday of cancer at Gilchrist Hospice in Towson.
The longtime Timonium resident was 91.
The son of a grocery store owner/barber and a homemaker, Mr. DiPaola was born in Baltimore. He was raised on Greenspring Avenue, and later moved to the Reisterstown-Owings Mills area in the early 1940s.
