The Barracudas won numerous metals from all of their swimmers.
On July 17 and 18 the Castle Valley Barracuda swim team competed in an invitational at Richfield. With seven teams and 187 swimmers this was the biggest meet this season. The 20 Barracudas swimmers show up for the challenge and every one on the Price team improved their times.
"The thing that made our day was when the other team started calling us the pesky Barracudas. That was a huge complement to us. They didn't like that we were taking their medals away from them." remarked Coach Kamra Davis about the meet.
For the eight and under group, Talley Larsen's third swim meet was another success. She grabbed gold in the 50 free and silver in the 25 free and 25 back.
The nine to ten year olds participated in the biggest of the groups with 30 competitors. Addy Olson swam to a gold in the 25 breast, a silver in the 100 I.M., 100 free, and 25 back. Davis pointed out that during her back swim she swam the 25 in 19 seconds.
Davis added, "For those that aren't swimmers, this time was very impressive. I have never coached a 10 year old that could get under 20 seconds in the back."
Veronica Ibanez is in her first season swimming and has had a good year as well. She took home the bronze in the 50 free and 25 fly. She also placed fourth the the 100 free, and sixth in the 100 I.M. Olivia Black ended up in 15 place in the 50 free and 17 in the 25 back. Black improved her previous times by a great deal. Taycie Davis placed seventh in the 25 fly, 21 in the 50 free. She took off five seconds in both events. Davis also finished 19th in the 25 breast.
The Barracudas 11 to 12 year olds were dominant in the meet. For this age group they had four swimmers for most of the events in the top six. Tati Larsen grabbed gold in the 50 fly, and 50 free. She scored bronze in the 100 I.M., and sixth in the 100 free. Danni Noyes has improved tremendously the season and is one of Davis's hardest workers in the pool. She took fourth in the 50 fly, 50 free, and the100 free and seventh in the 100 I.M. Heidi Prettyman finished with a bronze in the 50 breast. She also placed fourth in the 100 I.M., sixth in the50 fly, and seventh in the 100 free. Ali Heath walked away with a bronze in the 50 free, fifth in the 50 breast and 100 free and eighth in the 50 fly. Dakota Noyes placed sixth in the 50 breast and 50 free, Noyes also swam and placed seventh in the 50 back and eighth in the 100 free. Davis explained she was a bit reluctant to swim her final two events, but did a great job.
In the 13 to 14 age group, Lance Riche won the gold in the 100 back, silver for the 50 freeand took fourth in the 100 free. He also placed sixth in an event he had never swam before, the 100 I.M. Thory Vandyke took silver in the 100 breast, fourth in the 50 fly, sixth in the 50 free, and seventh in the 100 free.
For the girls in the same age group, Brittney Willson grabbed the gold in the 50 and 100 free. She placed second in the 200 free and third in the 100 I.M. Heather Bone placing fifth in the 200 free, seventh in the 100 free, 11 in the 50 free, and 13 in the 100 I.M. Stephanie Giacoletto took eight in the 100 back, 12 in the 100 free, and 13 in the 50 free. Paula Gibson in only her second swim meet went home with 11 in the 100 free, and tenth in the 100 breast.
The oldest age group for the Barracudas is the 15 to 18 year olds. Aysha Black scored a silver in the 100 free, fourth in the 50 free, and 50 fly, and fifth in the 100 I.M. Jill Malone took gold home in the 200 free and fourth in the 100 free. She placed sixth in the 100 I.M and 50 fly. Brett Davis has a bronze for the 200 free and finished fourth in the 100 free. He took fifth in both the 50 free and 100 I.M.
The Barracuda relay teams also swam well. The nine to ten year old girls finished with a silver in the 200 free relay and the 200 medley relay. The 11 to 12 girls grabbed gold in the200 free. The team used 13, 14, 15 and 18 girls in the 200 free relay. This had a couple a girls competing in the older group. They still took silver. In the 200 medley they had two teams. Team A received a silver and Team B placed fifth.

STUNNER IN THE STEEL CITY — Islanders Defeat Penguins 4-1 on National TV
Preview — Box Score — TOI — Highlights
Kevin Schultz
Tuesday night the Islanders skated in front of a national television audience in the United States and Canada. They sure made it count.
The Islanders played exceptional hockey from start to finish, taking an early lead on Casey Cizikas' first NHL goal in the opening period and adding three more in the second frame. There was also killing off a five-minute penalty that spanned the late second and early third, allowing only one shot. On the other side, the Penguins heard boos rain down from the home crowd for much of the night. We're only six games in and there's a long way to go, but you can feel great about this one, Islander County.
After looking a bit intimidated and uninspired on the road Sunday night in Winnipeg, the Islanders put that blown lead behind them in full. Tonight's win was a full team effort for nearly 60-minutes. It's been a long time since we've seen such a complete effort.
All night, Islander defenders had active sticks and they physically pushed the Penguins' best players to the corners throughout the night, not allowing for high percentage shots. Towards the end of the game the Penguins did mount a bit of a rush, recording 19 shots in the final period. Only one of those shots would beat Evgeni Nabokov, who had a shutout spoiled with just over a minute to go.
In goal, Nabokov was excellent stopping 37 of 38 shots and getting the team through a first period that started out a bit rough around the edges. This game brought Nabokov's season save percentage up to .912 and he has looked solid for much of the year so far.
On offense, Casey Cizikas recorded his first NHL goal on a nice wraparound play. The Islanders forecheck forced a turnover in the Penguins' zone and Cizikas was there to pick up the loose puck and put it home unassisted.
Thanks to Cizikas and a breakaway goal from Michael Grabner, the Islanders continued to get the secondary scoring they so desperately lacked last season. Grabner made it 2-0 about six minutes into the second, giving the Islanders two secondary goals early on. Grabner's goal was textbook Grabner, stealing the puck at his own blueline and in on the opposing goaltender in an instant. This time he would finish for his team leading fourth of the year.
The Islanders would add two more goals, both on the power play, from John Tavares and Matt Moulson (also his 4th goal) later on in the second period. The passing display on Tavares' goal was a thing of beauty that I highly recommend you watch again, again and again:
Not only did the powerplay until do whatever they wanted in that sequence, but they did it perfectly. Tape to tape one touch passing; it doesn't get much better than that.
Late in the second Colin McDonald got five and a game for a boarding major. It was the correct call, although I'm sure McDonald had no ill intentions. These are the kind of hits the league is trying to take out, where a player goes headfirst into the boards. The problem is that the enforcement is sporadic. I can think of a player who went head first into the boards last week in Toronto, in a very similar situation, and had no penalty called. The Islanders would kill off McDonald's penalty, allowing only one shot to the Penguins during the five-minute advantage. From there, the third period was rather quiet with the Penguins throwing a lot of pucks at the net. Not a whole lot came of it though, as they wouldn't break through until less than two minutes to go and the game a foregone conclusion.
Last time the Islanders thumped Pittsburgh they did it on the scoresheet and with their fists at the Coliseum. This time is was only on the former. After that game, we didn't see those same Islanders for quite a while. What we've never seen, in the last few seasons anyway, is a game so complete. On such a big stage. Against such a tough opponent. On the road. The season is a long way from over and if the Islanders want to be playing playoff hockey, they need to figure out a way to replicated performances like tonight.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators voted to override the state tax cap Monday and approved a $235 million budget that raises the tax levy 14.4 percent.
Fourteen percent is unbelievable, but I think its the best we can do, said Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler.
Not everyone agreed, as opposition to the budget came from Legislators Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon; Scott M. Sutherland, R-Pierrepont; and Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid.
At a hearing before the vote, Massena businessman Edward J. Kaneb Jr., the only member of the public to speak, acknowledged the county had deep financial difficulties.
The legislators over the past 10 years really missed some opportunities, but we cant rehash that. How do we solve the problem? he said. Youre squeezing businesses in this county. Because you have no skin in it, it doesnt hurt. You can raise the sales tax to 8 percent. Youre not going to stop your spending. We have a spiral thats starting to spin faster.
Mr. Kaneb advised legislators to pressure the state and to formulate a bankruptcy plan.
Somebody has to push back against the state, he said. Scream, yell. Whats the state going to do?
Mr. Acres had voted to override the tax cap in committee but changed his mind at the boards special meeting, when he was the only legislator to vote against an override.
I think Ed Kaneb brought everything back into focus, Mr. Acres said.
The county should have sold its certified home health agency, which it recently voted to phase out, earlier in the year and looked at employee furloughs, Mr. Acres said.
The budget approved by the board carries a tax levy of $53,070,130. Last year, the board approved a budget with a levy of $46 million that hiked taxes 5.5 percent. The county has used up most of its fund balance so it could turn not to any reserves to offset the levy increase.
The county also overrode the tax cap for this years budget when it was at 4.4 percent. The tax cap for next years spending was calculated at 4.2 percent.
Its unfortunate we have to do this again, said board Chairwoman Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk. Its necessary.
The countys tax rate will climb from $8.72 per $1,000 of true assessed value to $9.81 per $1,000 of true assessed value, an increase of 13.43 percent. A property owner with a home assessed at $100,000 will pay $109 more next year in county taxes.
Other than the 32 employees from the CHHA in Public Health, and several other positions lost to cuts and attrition, county residents supported other departments that might have been slashed, such as the Sheriff Departments criminal division, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.
Did we get it low enough? Mr. Morrill said. No, but we looked at every line.
Many partner agencies, including county libraries, had their funding eliminated.
Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, tried to add $1 in funding for each of the 11 agencies that received nothing as a symbolic show of support, but his budget amendment was defeated 7-7, with Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton, absent.

Chakkara Vellam- A simple drink from the olden days, sprinkled with tales from Kannur.

Such little effort needed...a recipe meant for the likes of me :)
Never heard of this one before...infact the existence of karipetti itself was revealed to me only in the recent past. I've heard that it in the days before sugar was commonly used, kattan chaaya was usually drunk interspersed with bites of this very karipetti as the tea was unsweetened.

Even though a Kannurian,dint hear about this drink.....not made in our homes....or probably it is an old drink!....An one more thing as u told, we call 'chakkara' for karippetty that is the dark brown one either in the shape of 'Chiratta' or wrapped in palm leaves and 'Vellam' ('lla' not as in vellam meaning water but as in velluvili) for sharkkara that comes in smaller blocks and is light brown coloured one...:)..Just for ur info,need not publish...

Jayasree, thanks!
Mini, yeah i ve heard the same thing from my father....and he prefers karipetti in his chukku kappi.it's easily available back home but not for us :(
Priya,u can make it at home...no effort at all...
Tina, for me the name itself was new...:)
Shabs, though chakkara and karipetti ( palm sugar) is same in our place, we call sharkkara for the dark brown jaggery and vellam for the light brown jaggery...must be a very mild regional difference.hope u had a great vacation
Bharathy, Isn't panakam/panagam made with jaggery ? and i thought it's a drink popular in all southern states..
Dhanya, heheh...it just happened as chain posts :)) and cant resist posting 'em when such rare ones come from a bunch of lovely readers, especially when the recipe is so simple to make...no cooking :P

Max Payne 3 is the third release in the popular Third-Person Shooter series of the same name, and the first iteration of the series to appear on Next Gen gaming consoles. Developed by Rockstar Games, the creative minds behind the cutting edge GTA, Red Dead and Midnight Club game franchises, Max Payne 3 is a sequel to the second game in the series, and features an older Max Payne with a new life and job abroad. But as dangerous situations spiral Max's life from bad, to worse, it seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Game features include: series first multiplayer functionality, a wealth of weapons, classic Max Payne Bullet Time and Shootdodge functionality, extreme realism and special bonus features.
For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.
Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time and Shootdodge effects, full integration of Natural Motion's Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games.
In addition to an expansive single player campaign, Max Payne 3 is also the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. In a unique twist, Max Payne 3 multiplayer delivers a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 also includes a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and multiple strategic load-out options.

MASSENA - Each year for the past seven holiday seasons, shoppers visiting the Walmart store here would often be greeted by a man singing and dancing as he was ringing the bell for the Salvation Armys annual Red Kettle Campaign.
This year though, shoppers looking for Mr. Zender wont find him at Walmart, as the stores corporate office made the decision to ban the use of boom boxes by bell ringers.
And while Mr. Zender is no longer ringing the bell at Walmart Salvation Army, Lt. Cynthia L. Crowsen said she wants to make one thing clear - Carl is not banned from Walmart.
This was not a Massena decision at all, it was a national decision. Theres no music allowed at any Walmart locations nationwide, she said. It was a decision they made for the safety of all their employees, customers and our bell ringers.
With the decision to not allow music coming from Walmarts corporate office and not the Salvation Armys national headquarters, Mr. Zender is still allowed to sing and dance, just not at Walmart.
Carl has decided that since he likes singing and dancing, he will ring the bell some place else, Lt. Crowsen said, adding his new bell ringing home is Price Chopper, where he also happens to work.
The decision to not allow singing or boom boxes was made between Walmarts corporate office and the Salvation Armys national headquarters.
There are minor adjustments made to the agreement each year. This is just one that caught someones attention, she said. Its nothing thats anything out of the ordinary.
Kayla Whaling, a Walmart spokesperson said that while the use of boom boxes is banned, Mr. Zender could sing if elected to return to Walmart as a bell ringer.
We want to provide a pleasant, distraction free shopping environment for customers and we want to provide them and environment that is free of cords, wires and the actual boom box itself, which could be a potential hazard for people entering or exiting the store, Ms. Whaling said.
The decision has since led to a group of Mr. Zenders friends, family and supporters to organize a protest tonight in front of Massenas Walmart.
Sarah Boyea, who said she is a distant cousin of Mr. Zender helped organize what is being known as Caroling For Carl.
A group of people will be meeting at the Home Depot this evening and walking to Walmart at 6 p.m., where they will then stand outside the store singing Christmas carols.
While the event is mostly in response to the no music rule, Ms. Boyea said there are other reasons for the event.
Walmart makes them stand outside and thats terrible. Those people stand out there freezing while theyre trying to help the community, she said. What harm is a boom box to anyone?
Its not just me, there was a group of us who helped put this together, Ms. Boyea said, adding she was assisted by Todd Brown, Jessica Barney, Shalyn Peets, Brandi Paige and Melanie Smith, as well as Bob Rusaw, who she said brought the issue to the attention of the community.
Lt. Crowsen said the Salvation Army is in no way supporting the event, but both her and her husband, Lt. Russell Crowsen will be at Walmart tonight.
We are not supporting the event, but we will be there to support our bell ringers and Walmart, she said.
Walmart is one of the best organizations in terms of giving back to the Salvation Army, Ms. Lt. Crowsen said, adding despite a corporate policy that limits solicitations to 14 days, the Salvation is allowed to have their kettles at Walmart stores each year from Black Friday through Christmas Eve.
Ms. Lt. Crowsen added, shes worried about the protest impacting their collection for this year.
If we dont get as many donations we wont be able to help as many people, she said. The money we collect during these two months helps us help the community all year-round.
Ms. Boyea said the last thing her or anyone wants to do is hurt the Salvation Army.
Im totally for the Salvation Army and I think by Walmart doing this it is taking donations away from them, she said. I would encourage everyone to stop at Price Chopper to see Carl sing and dance and while there donate to the Salvation Army.

He is described in affectionate superlatives.
Kind. Gentle. Caring. A trusted confidante.
He is also a good storyteller.
The Rev. Msgr. Robert L. Lawler, 82, will retire March 31 as vicar general for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg, a position he has held since 1994. A quiet and unassuming man, he chose not to comment on his decades-long career with the diocese.
But his friends and diocesan colleagues were more than happy to.
He is the most kind and gentle man I have ever known, said the Rev. Douglas J. Lucia, pastor, St. Marys Catholic Church, Canton. I always admired his patience. He always has time to talk to people.
Colleen E. Steele, administrator of St. Josephs Home, Ogdensburg, which the monsignor was key in developing and where he continues to preside over daily mid-morning Mass, considers him family.
Obviously, we see him as part of St. Josephs Home, she said. Hes one of the kindest men Ive ever met. The residents remember him.
Msgr. Lawler was born Nov. 9, 1930, in Oneonta. He studied for the priesthood at Wadhams Hall Seminary College, Ogdensburg, and Catholic University of America. He was ordained to the priesthood on May 19, 1956.
In serving Bishops Paul S. Loverde, Gerald M. Barbarito, Robert J. Cunningham and Terry R. LaValley, he has held numerous diocesan positions. He retired in June 2012 as pastor of St. Marys Church, Waddington, and St. John the Baptist Church, Madrid.
That kind of jack-of-all-trades willingness to serve his diocese has never gone unnoticed or unappreciated.
Just ask Bishop LaValley.
In that (Vicar General) position, he has served as the closest advisor and confidante to the last four diocesan bishops, he said in an emailed message. My three predecessors and I have been richly blessed by Monsignors wise counsel and cherished friendship. On two separate occasions, this devoted and well-respected priest was elected to lead the Diocese of Ogdensburg as the diocesan administrator when the diocese was awaiting the naming of a new bishop. The Church, indeed the entire north country, is indebted to Monsignor Lawler for his continuing priestly ministry among us. We thank God for leaders such as he whose love of Jesus is reflected in his great care and concern for the vulnerable among us.
Sister Jennifer L. Votraw, SSJ, the diocese chancellor, planner and director of communications, says the monsignor is regarded as a saint by many of the other sisters.
Hes a good man, she said. Hes a well-respected man.
The monsignor, Sister Votraw added, has an extensive knowledge of the dioceses history.
And then some.
He could always tell a good story, she said.
Msgr. Lawlers successor as vicar general, Rev. Joseph A. Morgan, rector of St. Marys Cathedral, has high praise for his friends dedication to the diocese.
Msgr. Lawler has served with distinction over the course of these many years, he said. His fine work and ministry with Catholic Charities for decades and the pastoral care he has extended to his parishioners over the years has been second to none. He has a wonderful way of helping people draw close to the Lord and experience the love of God in their lives.
The monsignor, Rev. Morgan added, has also served as vicar general for four of our bishops and during two times when we were without a bishop, the College of Consultors asked Msgr. Lawler to serve as diocesan administrator. This speaks volumes about the high regard in which he is also held by his brother priests. Always a gentleman, Msgr. Lawler continues to be a priest who serves others. He regularly offers Mass and the sacraments at St. Josephs Home.
Rev. F. James Shurtleff, pastor, Notre Dame Church, Ogdensburg, agrees.
He is a very kind and caring person, he said. He has a great concern for the needy.

Ah, summer! It's right around the corner and for us at Pure Mobile, that means it's time to start rounding up some of the best cell phone accessories for the warmer months. Whether it means a waterproof carrying case, or somewhere to stash your cash and cards for a day at the beach, we're bringing you our top picks with this list of the 5 best iPhone 5 cases for summer 2013.
Read on for our favorite accessories to keep your phone dry and looking hot, from leading brands like OtterBox, Incipio, LifeProof and Griffin.
5: Incipio Stashback iPhone 5 Case
Warm summer weather probably means you've got a lot less pockets to stash your phone, cash and credit cards. But with Incipio's Stashback iPhone 5 case, you can keep everything together in one place.
This iPhone 5 carrying case doubles as a wallet, with an exterior compartment for cash and cards, so you won't miss your winter jacket's pocket space. We especially like it in hot pink for the summer months.
2: Griffin Reveal iPhone 5 Case
Again, since summer means fewer pockets, you probably want to go with a slim and compact phone case this season. And Griffin's Reveal iPhone 5 case offers a compact "barely there" option that's super portable but also quite protective.
WIth a clear back and bright color options "Pool Blue" it simply screams summer.
3. OtterBox Pursuits 40 Dry Box
Now, onto the waterproof accessories.
If you're planning on doing any water sports or outdoor activities like hiking or camping this summer, an accessory that keeps your phone and valuables dry and safe is a must. More than just an iPhone 5 case, OtterBox's Pursuits 40 dry box actually fits a bunch of other essentials as well, keeping all the important stuff safe in one place.
But it does feature a rubber mesh compartment specifically designed to keep your iPhone 5 (or any other device) securely in place. And it'll protect your phone from all manner of mishaps, like drops, shocks, bumps and, of course, water.
4. LifeProof Fre iPhone 5 waterproof case
If you'd rather just keep your phone dry, and don't need a whole dry box, accessories maker LifeProof has built a name for itself with its signature waterproof accessories. And their Fre iPhone 5 case is among the most reliable in this department.
It doesn't just protect your phone from spills and rain, it actually allows you to totally submerge your phone, which means you can easily take pictures and video underwater. We couldn't think of an accessory that's more suited to poolside summer days.
5. OtterBox Armor iPhone 5 Case
Another waterproof OtterBox iPhone 5 case, the Armor goes beyond protection from water to offer protection from drops, bumps, scratches, shocks and even crushing force.
It's the all-around package, and therefore a great accessory for anyone planning an active summer. We also like the hot shades it comes in, from bright green or blue, to vibrant orange.
Summer's a great time to get out, and you want to make sure you've got an accessory that lets your phone go everywhere with you. And with any one of our top 5 iPhone 5 cases for hot summer days, that should be no problem.

On April 21 the Carbon Chamber of Commerce held their monthly luncheon and the guest speakers were from the New Heights Clubhouse.
The New Heights people spoke about a work program that has been going on for a few years, but has yet to catch on with the general businesses in the county.
According the Tracy Hansen, an employment specialist working with the program, New Heights is looking to place individuals in businesses that are willing to work with the program. Hansen says the clubhouse has people that are willing to work and that the job counselors will train workers for employers, as well as substitute for them when they are off or work.
Helen Olivetto Smith was also honored at the luncheon as business woman of the month.
The Chamber also announced new and renewed memberships for Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, Wendy's of Price, Ultra Lube, Supreme Muffler, Transmission Express and Fatman Paintball.

2. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (sung in the style of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Patti Labelle[/lastfm])
There are tons of gorgeous versions of this song, but Jennifer Hudson's rendition of Patti Labelle's version is probably one of our favorites. Besides Patti Labelle's of course.

Remember one of our previous articles stating that there were an unbelievable number of sales made by Sprint in the sale of their HTC EVO 4G? Well, apparently it did not happen. Sprint says that it "miscalculated" the number of devices it actually sold. We had earlier reported that the EVO 4G carried by Sprint had broken its earlier records in a single day and sold three times the number devices that the Samsung Instinct and Unlocked Palm Pre devices sold in their first three days together. This came as quite a surprise to many around the country.
However, a retraction statement printed by Sprint suggests that it had overstated the total number of devices sold on launch day, "inadvertedly". Instead of selling three times the number of devices of the Samsung Instinct and the Palm Pre, the EVO 4G sold a total number in line with these two phones. A press release of Sprint acknowledges the error stating, "We had previously stated that the total number of launch day sales of the EVO 4G was six times greater than the sales of the Samsung Instinct for the same day and nearly twice that of the Palm Pre. While sales for the HTC Unlocked ( EVO 4G ) continue to rise, we erred in comparison of these phones as the total number of sales of the EVO 4G were in line with those of the Instinct and Palm Pre. We now acknowledge our error in judgment and state that the total sales of the EVO 4G on launch day were in line with those of the Instinct and Palm Pre over the first three days."
Well, there you have it, a complete apology directly on the website. So what is the final word? While, we should credit Sprint for actually going ahead and printing an apology, they should have really got their act together in the first place before going ahead and publishing untrue facts.

THOMAS POCK ON WAIVERSPossible changes to Islanders roster begin
5:00 pm – Defenseman Thomas Pock, the lone Islanders' healthy scratch on D tonight, has been placed on waivers.
Assuming Pock clears – and our hunch is he will – Pock could soon join what is already a fairly sound defense in Bridgeport and will be available to the Islanders as a depth defenseman.
The move could also enable Pock to continue developing in the Islanders' and Scott Gordon's system. After serving a 5-game suspension for a high elbow on Ottawa's Ryan Shannon, Pock did not return to an open spot on the blueline because Freddy Meyer came off the injured list. The Islanders picked Pock off the waiver wire from the Rangers at the beginning of the season, but his play has been subpar and he did not make a case for the Islanders' top-six.
Bruno Gervais has been placed on IR retroactive to Tuesday, November 25 and was not among the skaters this morning in a rehabbers-only workout at the Coliseum.
Mike Sillinger plays the final game of his AHL conditioning stint tonight when the Sound Tigers play in Worcester. If the veteran center is cleared for continued play, he will join the Islanders for practice on Monday.

Teaching American History
In cooperation with the Cumberland River Valley Consortium and other Teaching American History initiatives, TSLA has digitized primary source materials that will be useful for K-12 teachers and students. Linked with Tennessee's standards for teaching American history, items will be divided into the ten eras of history as designated by the State Department of Education (see chart).
Each primary source featured in the era presentations will include brief interpretive text, in addition to a reference to the state performance indicator being addressed. There is also a link to our online exhibits; eventually, we will provide sample lesson plans for teachers based on our holdings of historical images and documents.

vobcopy http://vobcopy.org/projects/c/c.shtml
vobcopy [-b size[bkmg] ] [-e size[bkmg] ] [-f] [-F fast_factor ] [-h]
[-i input-dir ] [-l] [-m] [-n title-number ] [-o output-dir ] [-O sin-
gle_file(s)_to_rip ] [-t name ] [-v [-v]] [-I] [-V] [-1 aux_output_dir1
] [-2 aux_output_dir2 ] [-3 aux_output_dir3 ] [-4 aux_output_dir4 ]
vobcopy copies DVD .vob files to harddisk, decrypting (if you have libdvdcss installed) them on the way (thanks to libdvdread and libdvdcss) and merges them into file(s) with the name extracted from the DVD.
Normall usage:
Copy main title to DiskName_01.vob: vobcopy
Mirror whole disk to DiskName/VIDEO_TS/: vobcopy -m
(it figures out DiskName and dvd mount point and device itself)
cpdvd http://www.lallafa.de/bp/cpdvd.html
cpdvd: $Revision: 1.10 $ $Date: 2004/01/31 09:53:41 $
Usage: cpdvd [options] <targetDir>
-t <num> copy title <num> (repeat for more titles/none: whole disc)
-m <mnt> set DVD mount point (default: DVD_MOUNT or "/dvd")
-d <dev> set DVD device (default: DVD_DEV or probe automatically)
-v use vobcopy for data transfer (default: cpvts)
-c use tccat for data transfer
-f force mount and unmount of dvd device
-i only fetch info and exit
-n dummy mode (do not execute copy commands)
Normall usage: You simply give a target directory (will be created automatically) insert a DVD and that's all:
cpdvd MyMovie
(doesn't use the DVD's name.)
dvdbackup - http://dvd.chevelless230.com/dvdbackup.html
dvdbackup will create a DVD-Video structure under /my/dvd/backup/dir/TITLE_NAME/VIDEO_TS.
To backup the main feature of the DVD:
dvdbackup -F -i/dev/dvd -o /my/dvd/backup/dir/
To back up the ENTIRE DVD:
dvdbackup -M -i/dev/dvd -o/my/dvd/backup/dir/
Note: On some linux distributions, the symbol UDFFindFile is no longer exported
from libdvdread, and instead has been made a static function.
It seems that the dvdbackup utility needs to link with this function.
As a workaround, one can still download the older version 0.9.3 of libdvdread from:
One could configure this version of libdvdread to build it in a local directory, using for example:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/libdvdread-0.9.3
You could then link dvdbackup with this local version of libdvdread using something like this:
gcc -o dvdbackup.o -c dvdbackup.c -I$HOME/libdvdread-0.9.3/include
gcc -static -o dvdbackup dvdbackup.o \
$HOME/libdvdread-0.9.3/lib/libdvdread.a -ldl
You may prefer not to use the -static flag, and instead set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the local $HOME/libdvdread-0.9.3/lib directory.
StreamDVD http://www.badabum.de/streamdvd.html
StreamDVD is a fast tool to backup Video DVDs 'on the fly', there will be no ripping, demultiplexing, recoding, remultiplexing .... You can select the wanted title, chapters, video, audio and subpicture streams and also a resize factor and StreamDVD will write a 'ready to author' vob file to stdout.
StreamDVD is slower for 'basic' ripping, but is the only one that does simple (fast) requantizing.
Typical use:
First determine a requantizing factor:
streamanalyze -t 1 -i /mnt/dvd
Factor : 1.077
If the factor is above about 1.5, use -s to pick streams, or -c to pick chapters.
Use the factor and whatever other options you used (-s, -c) on this line:
dvdauthor -t -o /movies/movie1 -f 'streamdvd -i /dev/dvd -t 1 -f 1.077|'
Then use dvdauthor to reconstruct the dvd menu:
dvdauthor -T -o DiskName/

You Can't Talk About Detroit Music Today Without Talking About Motown
After World War II there was a birth of a new style of music in the great city of Detroit which came to be known as Motown. A rhythm and blues music scene that involved the two main elements that later came to be known as honkers and shouters.
The jump blues bands that emerge during that time in the 40s became known as the honkers.
In the great vocalists who had a blues Gospels sound to their music became known as the shouters.
Back then Detroit had several jump blues bands they leaned heavily on the use of saxaphones and drum backbeats.
With some the great band leaders like King Porter, Todd Rhodes, Paul Williams, T.J. Fowler leading the charge, the most jump blues bands were some of the most recorded in the city during the 1940's and 1950's.
These great musicians typically came out of the big band jazz and swings groups of the 1930's, which explains the jazz influences in the Motown music sound.
The great city of Detroit seemed to have an endless supply of great singers who loved to belt out the R & B sound. Coming out of genres like the blues and traditional gospel.
At the time, some of the most well known of these singers were Hank Ballard, Little Willie John, and Jackie Wilson.
There were several local area record labels around during this time. However, they really didn't have the national reach that the major labels had and really hindered the national recognition of the artists. Even when deals between the smaller labels and the larger national ones could be arranged, they almost always failed in the end.
That is where Motown, under the leadership of Berry Gordy, come in.
Barry himself was actually a hopeful songwriter.
While he was starting his record label he actually worked at a bar known as the Flame Show Bar.
While there he provided material to the artists that were performing there.
He actually wrote two nationwide hits for Jackie Wilson, and a local hit performed by Smokey Robinson.
However in 1959, after being disappointed by the returns as a producer for Robinson he formed his own label. He produced number one hits on the pop charts and R & B charts for the next two years.
In the 1960's Motown went on to become the first and most successful black owned record company to reach into the mass market.
Later Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, and Smokey Robinson helped to create an iconic Motown sound that is still identifiable today.
It wasn't just the singers though, the musicians played an important part as well.
Contributions from the likes of the Funk Brothers created a mix of the Detroit jazz and R & B scene that would propel the city, the music, and the artists into music history.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Danielle Kellogg, the 24-year-old driver accused of D.W.I. in Tuesday's crash that killed seven month old Baylee Dion, has posted $20,000 bail and is out of jail.
Multiple sources have confirmed Kellogg's release to 2 On Your Side. We're told she walked out of the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo at around 5:45 p.m. Thursday.
Kellogg, is still scheduled for a felony hearing that is set for Friday afternoon in the Town of Brant Court. According to Steve Boyd, the civil attorney representing the family of Baylee Dion, it's unclear if Kellogg will attend or if the hearing will be waived.
Boyd says the family's focus is not really on the legal process, but rather on little Baylee and the funeral arrangements they're making for their daughter.
"As they go through this grieving process and make preparations for the memorial for this little girl, who they had so much hope for, the things that are happening in the legal background, are a lot less important for them," he said.
The crash happened on Route 20 in the Southern Erie County Village of Farnham. The baby's mother, Denise Hine, 31, was hurt in the crash, but is expected to be O.K.
Boyd says that the family is "doing the best they can and they're staying together, they're all supporting each other, Denise is still very sick and very uncomfortable from her injuries, but she's got the support and love of her family and her friends."

Uncertainty Principle
March 22, 2006
Violence is scary. Violence is sexy. Violence is wrong. Violence is righteous. Violence is a problem. Violence is the solution. Befitting its title, David Cronenberg's film A History of Violence comprises all these definitions and more. Just released on video, the film opens with a pulpy paean to small-town murderousness, as two drifters check out of a dusty, rural motel. The air of lazy depravity is palpable; bad acts are hinted at--"I had a little trouble with the maid," one man tells the other--before they are revealed.

Meant transmission
Are they going to make an automatic transition for the viper in the future
@marshknuteYou're not suggesting Ferrari's are automatics, are you?If that's what you think, google "Flappy Paddle Gearbox" and learn a little bit.I do agree though that this is an insanely cool car, and happily America's first PROPER super car, but I do prefer Ferrari's and McClaren's. Never been much for Lambo's though.
So dealer have to qualify to sell this car, and they must have the certified technician to service this car, plus only few of these go to the 'authorized dealer'. I am sick of going through all the troubles in just trying to get a price on this car and where I can actually get one - forget it, I am getting a porsche instead. No wonder the North American auto maker is doing so bad, it's all because they got their basic 'demand and supply' concept all mess up.
@middledoggy really? Go back to your green freak show. Just because you drive an "environmentally-conscious" car doesn't make you a saint. Why don't you go to one of your conventions where you can at least fool yourself into thinking you're making a difference.
This car pisses excellence.
i dont get it. why would someone want no interior in a car? some people like it stripped down. seems dumb
I would buy any Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren without a moment's hesitation over this new 2013 Viper. I will buy a buss pass before I buy a manual car. Manuals are for the "old farts" that cannot get over their youth when they were slim and trim! Now to show their manliness; they think that if they can drive a stick; they still have it even if they weigh over 30 pounds and cannot even fit into a Viper now! LOL!
I would buy this over any Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren without a moment's hesitation. I will buy a buss pass before I buy a non-manual car.
@ML430Get serious. You directed me to a lot of marketing hype.The notion that the Viper is now a genuine competitor against Ferrari or McLaren is a great marketing storyline for Chrysler. But it is far from reality.Head on over to the Ferrari blogs or show up at an FCA Chapter meeting and ask how many of them would consider dumping their Ferraris in favor of the Viper.
I don't get why so many mindless kids and Euro trash(Fiat now owns controlling interest in Chrysler, FOOL!) are so critical of this SRT Viper, why would they compare a $100K with $250K plus cars? What cars do they have to compete with similar dimensions, price pionts and configurations of this SRT Viper, Corvertte, CTS-V, Camero ZL1/Z06's...? Well, I can honestly declare, there is none that can! Please correct me if you can enlighten me!
Nothing says arrogant, uncharitable, and illiberal like this douche mobile.
Some of you guys miss the point here, Viper is for people that race, ask the drivers at Nrburgring. It's not about keeping it in the garage till its time to show off the trophy woman.
@Infidel2: Read this article and pay close attention to paragraphs 3 and 4.http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/2013-srt-viper-reborn-interview-chrysler-srt-brand-195017612.html
@Hotwheels_2cars74: Thank you. @Infidel2: It depends on the situation. 1. When someone finally has enough money to buy their dream car, they will buy it. 2. Before developing the 2013 Viper, Ralph Gilles and team asked current Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche owners what stopped them from considering a Viper. They mostly said the previous interior. Gilles team didn't ask the guys on this forum. We mostly fall under my number 1! They asked guys that already had their money together and had proven it. Now that these guys have their dream car, they will go out and buy other fast cars that they deem are worth their money. Before, the Vipers interior was not up to snuff, now it is. It has exotic-beating performance, an exotic V-10 engine, an exotic-looking exterior and now, an exotic-like interior. Like I said before, it's called "Growing The Brand." When SRT decides to put modern tech into the engine and give it a dual-clutch tranny, the exotics really better look out.
@Infidel2 *** Clearly, you've missed the whole objective of the Viper return. I agree with ML430 the Viper does now upon it's return like it has always been successfully. Which is to provide a competive alternative against similiar perfomance vehicles in it's segment, and outside with exotics.I guess you haven't heard or are familiar with Hennessey Performance tuner. He's built Vipers for a while that have taken the challenge against those exotics / supercars mentioned for arguement sake. His Viper beat Bugatti Veyron to 200 MPH !!!...why can't we give credit to the SRT boys for building again a difference maker born here in the USA.Including team Viper many victories in sports car classes they've raced in.
@ML430Do you honestly believe someone considering the purchase of an Aventador or Italia or McLaren is going to be pulled away by the Viper?The first three cars are, regardless of how the folks at Fiat/Chrysler want to spin it, aimed at a very different market segment than the Viper. The Viper's chief competition will be other high-end American "muscle" cars (ZR1/ZO6, GT500, etc.)
The new Viper looks great and I am glad to see it back. I see that alot of times when a car is not doing well and you quit making it for a few years and stop a regroup, it seems to always come back a better car. I like that the car picked up some horsepower and it did need some improvements on the handling because it was notorious for losing comparison tests just because it handled so poorly. Good job Dodge.
The icon is back. The original Viper was the pin-up hero. To discribe this new one is impossible. It's just epic. RWD, V10, six speed manual (as it should be, the end. Pity it will never be offered in RHD.
@92Vectra1.6i Sacrilege! Joking, but thank god they don't care about the Viper being a volume seller, it needs that v10.
"It's a hot rod, not an exotic supercar."If you define exotic as foreign, that's true. Until someone drives it, it's hard to say whether it's a supercar or not--unless your name is Carnac.
This new SRT Viper is officially a true supercar. It has the exotic looks that are very original, that huge unbelievably powerful V10 engine, that crazy fast speed, and the high quality materials inside.
I'm kind of on the fence honestly. Here's my take-+ higher focus on quality and craftsmanship+ hasn't abandoned it's raw, visceral character+ giving it a sense of difection and designating competition- the styling is ho-hum, daring, but somewhat contrived and cliched- still using the old transmisission and V10, albeit with updates-about three late to the partyI like how they improved build quality and material usage. And the two trims are a good idea. Numbers look good on paper, and seem to be delivered in a more enjoyable experience. It's nice that they evolved the styling, but it's a little fussy in areas. It also would've been nice to see a new smaller displacement OHC V10 that spun to 7,000rpm+ and a dual clutch option. So, so close. But I feel this could have been the next model year to the last, not a three year after the fact replacement.
Its going to be interesting to see if any of these changes affect performance. I thought that by now chrysler would have re-designed the look of the viper but maybe they want to stick to the viper roots. And to the people who say 640 hp isnt enough are not too bright because the vette zr1 produced 638 hp but it was supercharged unlike the vipers naturaly aspirated v-10. Until they actually test this its hard to say whether it will be any good or not.
Those shocks Ferrari is using were first introduced on the 50th anniversary 2003 Corvette. As for 640 horsepower being "not enough" it's PLENTY in a world of $4 a gallon gas and speed limits. As I first stated, I believe if Chrysler wants long term success and profit from the Viper it needs to take on the entire Corvette line and that would mean (horrors!) less powerful V8 powered Vipers !!!
@ Infidel2: Yes Porsche does but I believe this ideology can be called "Growing The Brand." Hot rod the Viper was. There is nothing wrong with anyone having higher aspirations. Look at GM aiming the CTS-V at AMG and M. The ZR1 was not aimed at the Mustang GT. All it's missing is a good interior. Ferrari is already using the shocks from the CTS-V (and the ZR1 I believe) Why not aim the Viper at Lamborghini and other exotics? The Viper ACR has already kicked their ass (aside from the Ferrari FXX) on The Ring.
The new Viper's fundamental design flaw starts with the incorrect conclusion that minimalism and refinement are mutually exclusive. They aren't. Porsche has been demonstrating that fact and kicking EVERYBODY'S ass on and off the race track for decades.And, honestly, the designers had to be hitting the hookah to believe that this car would compete in the same marketing space as Lamborghini or any other genuine exotic. It's a hot rod, not an exotic supercar.
I don't understand why everyone is crying about the motor. Its the most powerful N/A V10 production in the whole world. and its the base model. 640 HP is a lot of horsepower. just cause the new lambo, and new Ferrari have 700 hp or more doesent mean that the viper has little hp. and im sure there will be an ACR model that will destroy the nurburgring and seca just like the old 2010 ACR did.
this beast will eat zo6/c7 alive and the zr1 too ^_^
Good point Infidel2. I already compared them both earlier today and I still would take this new Viper over the old interior in the old Viper. Just imagine, you've got the old Viper sitting at a stop light and someone pulls up next to you in this new one. Not a good feeling! Of course, if that doesn't matter to you then by all means get the old one. Same argument if/when GM improves the interior of the Corvette. Both cars will still have their loyal fan base. The interior improvements are to win over those who didn't buy one in the past simply because when you pay 100 grand for a car, you should have a decent interior. I don't think Chrysler/SRT is aiming at the Corvette exactly, I think they are looking PAST it (ie., Lambo and others). Corvettes are everywhere, they are trying to make the Viper just as exclusive as Lambo and Ferrari.
Well done ... I belive , at least they didn't let Italians put their "...sophisticated but greedy fingers" into the project, so generally Chrysler didn't screw it up ! .. :)...I personally think previous Viper looks a little bit better (simpler, which is good in such a brutish machine... ), but horsepower, interior and overall feel seems to be better ...I belive they will introduce some direct Vette Z06 fighter with Supercharged 6,4 HEMI - sth like 530HP .. and it won't be a disgrace ! ......This thing and Toybaru are most interesting cars on NY Auto-show ... ...Am I the only person who thinks that this LED headlamps in "ferarri-esque" front, and Maserati GT - inspired rear looks a little bit cheap ?!?
Let's face it: The Viper was never a looker. And by the time production ended, its styling was ridiculously obsolete. It was a hulking, muscle-bound throwback entirely out classed and out performed by the new crop of high tech, high performance cars.I had hoped that Fiat would have injected the "new" Viper some very much needed Italian style, flare and refinement. It didn't. This car appears as an extremely basic mid-model refreshing of the car that existed when production ceased.Please tell me what is compelling about this when one can buy a low-miles "old" Viper that looks the same, offers comparable performance (with less nanny gear) and costs half as much.
I'm surprised at some of the comments. It looks like people haven't read the article. Maybe they just can't read, so I shouldn't say too much to offend all of the aspies here. First of all, the Viper does have a new chassis, stiffened by 50% over the last model and lighter too. I don't think most people here know all that goes into designing a car... This thing only shares cues with the 599 because there are certain optimal shapes for aerodynamics and Function must triumph over form. Personally, I always the 599 looked a bit like a Viper.
So sexy, such a beautiful car. And V10 engine with rear-wheel drive!! YES!! Thank you Chrysler!! I'm so happy they decided to continue with this Viper, it looks absolutely stunning and drives even better too.
I am going to assume this has a short throw shifter (think i got tht terminology right). If not I hope 6th gear won't cause some people problems. The e-brake looks kinda high and close to that corner of the shifter.
DID they fix 5th gear? there was a match Viper vs Corvette. the Viper dominated the standing mile until you put it in 5th gear, then it just did NOT accelerate and the VETTE won
Well Dodge (SRT) you blew a great chance to knock one out of the park. Creating a retro Viper with great engineering changes puts it into the ME TOO trend with the retro Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, and Dodge Challenger. Come on America we can do better than this! The new/old Viper may drive great and perform outstandingly, but the 60's, 70's & 90's are over!
Hell, yah bring it on!! Viper now should get the respect it always deserved!!
Our shop has Toyota Tundras that date back to 2001 (the second year of production) and I can assure you, they all have six lug wheels (I've changed enough tires on them to know).
has a striking resemblance to the 90s knightrider wannabe viper tv show hero car.http://starcarcentral.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/viper-defender-a-rare-starcar-goes-up-for-bid-rare-ford-futura-batmobile-appearance-in-the-show/
Biggest tires on a road car(next to the Veyron of course). Looks absolutely stunning.
not even a ram 1500 or a toyota tundra uses 6-lugs
Nice to see that it still uses 6-lugs at all 4 corners hahahaha love this car
So now that its an SRT I guess I'm not supposed to look at it and think of other Dodge products... but it still looks like the Caravan got turned into a sports car. That being said, I like the general lack of electronics and such that are allowed on this car as it harks from a different era in raw performance. It will be a fun comparison against the other classes it doesn't really fit into.
This is the ONLY car I liked from Dodge. Now its SRT only, makes it even better :) I wonder when MT will test the ZR1 and this poisonous snake! Heck while there at it, throw in the 2013 GT500. We can all kick back, twist the cap on a few cold ones and enjoy! :)
I liked that the original Intrepid ES had the same face as the original Viper, but this new Viper having the same mug as a second generation Intrepid SE? Not so much. I've said for a while that if Chrysler really wants to get serious about competing with the Corvette, they'll introduce base (415-430 horsepower) and mid-range (485-505 horsepower) Hemi V8 powered Vipers to take on the entire range of Corvettes along with having Vipers available that don't feature six figure price tags !! Of course, if they can do the 600+ horsepower V10 only thing and still make money, more power to them !!
Nice job.
I'm a Porsche guy, but I still find this new Viper very appealing. The best Viper yet with a classy and quality interior. This will compete nicely against the ZR1 and I will take the new Viper over the GT-R any day. I bet the Viper is more thrilling and fun to drive than the GT-R and it looks way more exotic than a GT-R. Thumbs Up!!
You made my point drivertt. You are not who this car is meant for. The first 427 Cobra was crashed into a wall the first test drive. Yet people pay millions to buy a real Cobra. So keep wearing the gold chains to the disco in your Vette or 911. There's a big enough car world for every type.
I'm one that prefers the more brainy GT-R/ 911 Turbo type cars but I've always liked the Viper and its shunning of modern technology and its utter disregard for MPGs and efficiency......However, I thought it would have at least benefited from the Ferrari parts bin, not even the older Ferrari tech?? Nothing??They had us wait this long, they might have given us an all-new car...

BUFFALO, NY - Just recently, Buffalo firefighters established new staffing rules that are called "dynamic staffing."
Under the old contract, the city had to pay off-duty firefighters overtime to cover staff shortages due to sick calls. Under the new contract, the city can re-assign personnel to cover sick calls by shutting down ladder or engine units at individual firehouses.
Tuesday morning's fatal fire on Riverside Avenue, shows that there is still a dispute over the contract the City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Firefighters Union agreed to in May.
"This here is about money and money alone, if we're worried about the firefighters creating overtime for what?" said Buffalo Professional Firefighters Union president, Dan Cunningham.
The issue at hand, is when the city closes down a fire company for a shift, because too many firefighters called off for that shift. Right now, the policy says this can happen if five or more call off.
2 On Your Side pressed Mayor Byron Brown about the possible safety issues Tuesday.
"We feel it's safe, we feel it was negotiated with Dan Cunningham, the union president and the firefighters union and the city, it is in the new contract," Brown said.
Cunningham calls the practice that the city uses "Russian Roulette."
"We had to agree to things that we normally wouldn't agree to, I'm not backing down from that, but this was part of the deal," he added.
Cunningham says he reluctantly agreed with the policy -- after 11 years without a contract -- and thinks it can create a safety problem.
The safety issue could come about, if there's a fire in the city and the nearest firehouse has a company shutdown and it doesn't have the personnel to effectively fight the fire. Mayor Brown and fire officials say this was not the case in the Riverside Ave. fire Tuesday morning.
"It does not compromise fire protection in the city, the city would not have done it if that was the case and we're sure the firefighters wouldn't have negotiated it if that was the case," Brown said.
The fire union believes the city saves between $2 million and $2.5 million annually by not paying the overtime and shutting down fire companies.
Mayor Brown would not confirm these numbers when we spoke to him Tuesday outside City Hall.

Claudius Conrad, MD, PhD, surgeon and director of the Music in Medicine Program at the MGH and the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, was the honored guest of Friedrich Löhr, the consul general of the Federal Republic of Germany in Boston, and presented a free "Music in Medicine" concert and lecture on Feb. 23.
Boston German consul general hosts Massachusetts General Hospital Music in Medicine Program
BOSTON – Claudius Conrad, MD, PhD, slowly lifted his fingers from the keys of the Steinway piano after playing the final notes of Schumann's Kinderszenen. Moments later the standing-room-only audience at the Goethe-Institut Boston broke the silence with calls of "Encore!"
Conrad, surgeon and director of the Music in Medicine Program at the MGH and the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, was the honored guest of Friedrich Löhr, the consul general of the Federal Republic of Germany in Boston, and presented a free "Music in Medicine" concert and lecture on Feb. 23. Conrad played the works of Chopin, Mozart and Schumann and discussed the therapeutic benefits of music as it relates to surgery – for both surgeons and their patients.
Löhr welcomed more than 140 attendees to the event, before turning the podium over to Kenneth Tanabe, MD, chief of the division of Surgical Oncology. "The scope and depth of Dr. Conrad's talents are incredible. He is a talented surgeon, a wonderful physician, a gifted scientist, a dedicated investigator and an accomplished pianist," Tanabe says. "I sometimes think that we've all learned as much from him as he has learned from us. And of course one of the areas that we've enjoyed the most as students of Claudius is the field of music in medicine."
Produced by G. G. Garth Music Publishing, the event was a fundraiser for the Division of Surgical Oncology at the MGH. Following Conrad's 90-minute presentation, the audience participated in a question-and-answer period, before enjoying a reception. In addition to Löhr, other sponsors included Bay State Sound, Canvas Fine Arts, Goethe-Institut Boston, M.Steinert&Sons, Principle Pictures, Recycled Paper Printing, Inc., World Boston a World Affairs Council.
"It was an honor to give this concert lecture for the wonderful audience and Consul General Löhr at the Goethe-Institut," Conrad said. "I was also delighted that my mentors Dr. Andrew Warshaw [surgeon-in-chief emeritus at the MGH] and Dr. Tanabe were there. I hope my presentation raised awareness about the role of music in medicine, but we have only begun to scratch the surface. With more research we can elucidate the specific effects of music in healing and apply them more scientifically."
