Research Interests
Our research focuses on developing mouse models of stress sensitivity related to neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disease utilizing genetic and prenatal manipulations to elucidate mechanisms contributing to disease predisposition. We are interested in determining the fetal antecedents and epigenetic mechanisms involved in programming of long-term disease risk.
Research Techniques
Genetic mouse models for behavioral analyses including stress, anxiety, depression, feeding and reward models; gene expression studies using in situ hybridization; pharmacology and protein expression using receptor autoradiography; biochemistry using Western blot; molecular biology for gene detection; epigenetic analyses; and plasma hormone detection using radioimmune assays.
Research Summary
We have focused on developing models of disease including affective disorders and obesity utilizing approaches that range from fetal antecedents, involved in programming of long-term disease risk, to genetic targeting of cell type specific knockouts. We have initiated multiple lines of investigation that will provide insight into the timing and sex specificity of early life events promoting disease susceptibility, the maturation of central pathways during key periods of development, and the epigenetic mechanisms involved in long-term effects following stress exposure.

SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 1.0 and 1.1 frequently asked questions
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition (SQL Server CE) is the compact database for rapidly developing applications that extend enterprise data management capabilities to devices.
This article discusses questions and answers for frequently asked questions (FAQs) about SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 1.0 and 1.1.
Q1: SQL Server CE Books Online mentions that you can put the SQL Server Agent CE Server Agent (Sscesa10.dll) in multiple locations and that you must register the Sscesa10.dll file by using Regsrv32.exe after the file is copied to a folder. Does re-registering the Sscesa10.dll file in another folder overwrite the existing reference in the registry with the new one and point to the DLL in the new folder?
A1: The Sscesa10.dll) file does not overwrite any registry entries and can be registered in multiple locations without any conflicts. This behavior is different from other Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) components. Other COM components leave some entries, including InProcServer32, pointing to the last registered component when they are registered in multiple locations.
Q2: What are the benefits of multiple virtual directories with separate copies of the Sscesa10.dll file?
A2: When you have multiple applications that use replication and Remote Data Access (RDA), you want to create multiple virtual directories. You want each virtual directory to point to its own base folder with a different copy of the Sscesa10.dll file. You want separate virtual directories so that the two connectivity solutions (replication and RDA) do not contend with the same available threads. If replication users use the Sscesa10.dll file to synchronize, and if RDA users use the Sscesa10.dll file at the same time, at some point one user may be waiting for the other to finish. SQL Server CE is multithreaded, but it does have a limit. Therefore, if you set up two different Sscesa10.dll files, each can handle its own set of users.
You can also implement different security schemes if you use two different virtual directories, even if the virtual directories point to the same SQL Server Agent.
Q3: How do I migrate a SQL Server database from SQL Server to SQL Server CE?
A3: You can use the RDA Pull method with the no-tracking option to pull all tables to your SQL Server CE database, together with the data. If you have default values on any columns, referential integrity, or any indexes, you must run the correct data definition commands to create these properties. For more information, see the Introducing Remote Data Access, Planning for RDA, and Implementing RDA topics in SQL Server CE Books Online.
RDA does not pull referential integrity or multiple tables at the same time. RDA pulls only the primary key (PK) index and the table that is specified in the Pull method. You must add back all the referential integrity to the local version of the table by using the ALTER TABLE command.
Both RDA and replication can copy tables from SQL Server to the SQL Server CE database on the device. This is the "easiest" method to use because this method automatically performs data type mappings for you. Replication only works with Microsoft SQL Server 2000. If your requirement is simple, RDA is for you. However, if you have the following requirements, consider using the replication method: ? You must change data on both the server and the device.
? You want to have that data merge.
? The server is running SQL Server 2000.
Replication requires more configuration on the server, because you must publish the SQL Server data first.
You can also run SQL statements on the local database that is on the device to create and to insert data. The grammar for SQL Server CE is a subset of SQL Server.
Q4: Why is the space that is taken by deleted records not freed unless I run a compact process on the SQL Server CE database?
A4: There are two issues: ? Space is not reused by SQL Server CE during a transaction. The locking scheme that the engine currently uses prevents the reuse of records that are deleted in a transaction until that transaction is committed. If you do not manually start transactions, and if you put several records in a database, and then if you delete those records, the space remains unused. If you add more records, that space is used again. If you compact the database, you eliminate unused space.
? SQL Server CE does not make databases smaller unless you compact the database. You must have two times the database size to compact the database because the compact action creates a new database. You cannot compact in place in SQL Server CE. To reduce the size of your database, you must run a compact process. When new records are added to the database, the database grows. If you delete those records, the space is then empty in your database but the database does not become smaller. When you add more records, the empty space in your database is used until the database must grow again. SQL Server CE databases do not become smaller during typical operation. You must use a compact process regularly to make sure that the database is not taking up extra space and that the database does not have internal errors.
Q5: When I set up merge replication on SQL Server 2000, you receive an Agent Error message that states the following:
"@start_time_string is not known by sp_MSadd_snapshot_history"
If I add a dummy parameter to the stored procedure in the distribution database, the merge works correctly.
A5: You receive this error message when you use an earlier (beta) version of SQL Server 2000.
Q6: Can I use Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic to create the .sdf database on my desktop?
A6: No, some technical problems are associated with the use of eMbedded Visual Basic to create the .sdf database on a desktop computer.
Q7: How can I avoid time-out error messages when I call the RDA Pull method?
A7: To extend the connection time-out period, pass Connect Timeout=Time in the connect string that you have. For example, for 300 seconds, the connect string would look similar to the following:
ce.Pull "EW", "SELECT * FROM customers where cust_id='007'"
"Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=mySQLServer; Initial
Catalog=NorthWind; user id=sa; password=; Connect
Timeout=300;", TRACKINGOFF
You can then fine-tune the connect string to an optimum value based on your network.
Q8: The RDA Pull method works correctly in emulation. However, if I run the same code from my device, I receive error 80072EFD "Pull Failed". My device is connected through a serial cable and a Microsoft ActiveSync connection is working. When I run http://myserver/sharename/sscesa10.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer on the device, the following text appears:
"The page you are looking for cannot be found"
instead of the following:
A8: The error message indicates that you cannot connect to your Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) server from your device. If your device is connected through ActiveSync, either RDA or replication may not work correctly because ActiveSync does not give you full network access. You must have some sort of network connectivity, either through Remote Access Service (RAS) with a standard or wireless modem or with a direct network connection LAN adapter (or wireless LAN adapter).
Q9: How do I create an index on a SQL Server CE table?
A9: The easiest way to create an index is to use a SQL statement. For example:
create table t1 (col1 int); create index t1_index on t1 (col1);
Q10: How fast is SQL Server CE performance versus the native CE database (.cdb) store on the device?
A10: SQL Server CE is much faster than the .cdb store in many ways. For example, SQL Server CE is faster at creating and navigating indexes, performing joins, and other data manipulation statements. Some customers report up to a 90 percent performance improvement over .cdb on the same hardware. Results vary based on the scenario, but you may notice the difference immediately.
Q11: How do I compact a database?
A11: The following is eMbedded Visual Basic code that compacts a database to another file and then moves it back. As the compact process works, it creates a second database and leaves the first one at the original size. The code deletes the first database, and then the code copies back the new second database:
Private Sub Compact_Click()
Dim eng As SSCE.Engine
Set eng = CreateObject("SSCE.Engine.1.0")
cn.Close ' Close connection to db. Must be closed to work.
eng.CompactDatabase "Provider=microsoft.sqlserver.oledb.ce.1.0;Dat a
Source=\Dummy.sdf", "Provider=microsoft.sqlserver.oledb.ce.1.0;Dat a
fs.Kill "\Dummy.sdf" ' Delete old db
fs.MoveFile "\Dummy2.sdf", "\Dummy.sdf" 'Move compacted db to original location
End Sub
Q12: How do I store images on the SQL Server CE database?
A12: SQL Server CE supports the image data type. However, most Windows CE devices have limited memory. Therefore, you must be careful not to use all your available storage space.
If you program to the OLE DB layer, you can use either the ILockBytes interface or the IsequentialStream interface to move binary large object data in and out of the database.
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects for Windows CE (ADOCE) also supports binary large objects. View the GetChunk method and the AppendChunk method on the recordset objects in ADOCE. With the GetChunk method and the AppendChunk method, you can read from and write to a large object column in the database. You can use an array of bytes inside the variant through ADOCE C++.
You must make sure that you use an updateable cursor in SQL Server CE to store binary large objects. In other words, use a base table cursor so that the AddNew function call works correctly. For example:
rs.open "tablename", cn, adopendynamic, adlockoptimistic, adcmdtabledirect
Q13: Does SQL Server CE support the AddNew function and the Update function? I keep receiving a "Not Supported" error message.
A13: SQL Server CE does support the AddNew function and the Update functions but only on base table cursors. Query result sets are not updateable in the current version of SQL Server CE.
To establish a base table, you must specify the adcmdtabledirect flag as follows:
rs.open "basetablename", cn, adopendynamic, adlockoptimistic, adcmdtabledirect
Q14: What is the SQL Server CE equivalent to "SELECT @@IDENTITY" in SQL Server?
A14: You can retrieve the new identity value through ADO or OLEDB when you perform inserts through the cursor (for example, by using the rs.addnew function). However, this method does not work correctly with INSERT INTO queries.
Because SQL Server CE can only perform insertions through base table cursors, the syntax looks similar to the following:
rs.open "basetablename", adopendynamic, adlockoptimistic, adcmdtabledirect
msgbox rs(0)
rs(1) = 5
msgbox rs(0)
If column 0 is your identity column, you may see the new value already in the row. Both message box calls display the value. This syntax is the closest equivalent to "SELECT @@IDENTITY" in SQL Server CE.
If you are using INSERT statements, you can architect your application. For example, you could use "SELECT MAX(identcolumn) FROM TableName". This method is imperfect, but because most SQL Server CE applications are single-user, the syntax is workable.
Q15: Does RDA support Push or Pull conflict resolution?
A15: There is no conflict resolution with RDA. For RDA, a better name for "conflicts" is "errors." For example, when you perform an RDA Push operation, and there is an error, the row with the error is returned to your RDA Push method with the tracking error table and is removed from the table where the error occurred. In the tracking table, RDA gives you the data that was in your table in addition to the error that occurred.
Errors may occur in many ways on a Push operation. For example, errors may occur with IIS, SQL, OLEDB, and others. One common error with a new product is that foreign key constraints are not pulled to the CE database. Therefore, when the Push operation occurs, the foreign key is violated and an error record is returned to your error table. The error message informs you that you must add these constraints to your CE database and then you must retry the record.
If there are errors with the Pull method, you must check for the SSCEErrors collection that is returned. The SSCEErrors collection contains a set of SSCEError objects. The SSCEErrors collection is created when a SQL Server CE Replication, RemoteDataAccess, or Engine object method call fails.
Q16: How do I create a SQL Server CE database file on the desktop so that I can distribute (download) to many devices instead of a single table Pull operation?
A16: There is currently no direct Win32 mechanism that you can use to create a SQL Server CE database on the desktop computer and then use it on the device. However, you can create the database in the desktop emulation environment or on a Microsoft Windows CE device, copy the database to a Win32-based computer, and then copy the database to other Windows CE devices as necessary.
Q17: Does setting my ADO Recordset to 'nothing' reclaim any memory?
A17: Generally, the answer is "yes." However, Microsoft recommds that all your applications use set rs=nothing and set cn=nothing when you are finished using them. Database engines can take a fair amount of memory, and it is best not to leak memory.
Usually, Microsoft Visual Basic eventually releases the memory. However, there have been some cases where the memory is not released quickly enough and you can run out of memory on the device, especially if you have a particularly bad memory leak.
Q18: Does SQL Server CE encryption work for emulation mode? I do not see a folder for emulation under encryption in my SQL Server CE installation.
A18: Encryption is not supported in the emulation.
Q19: Can I create a SQL Server CE database .sdf file on the emulator and freely use it on any other device?
A19: Yes, a database that is created in the emulator is compatible with the devices because the database is based on the same set of operating system sort tables.
Q20: How do I always refresh SQL Server CE and Data Access components on the device?
A20: Make sure that you set the project properties in your eMbedded Visual Basic application. To do this, follow these steps:
1. On the Project menu, click Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, click the General tab.
3. In the Update Component Frequency list, click Always.
4. Click to select the Runtime Files and Project Components check box.

He hangs out at the car wash nowadays.
i wonder if he is kicking himself in the ass for selling the site?
Not for the reason that he's not associatied with the site anymore but to see something he created turn to shit in such a short period of time.

Soulfly Tour Photo's
Posted on February 12, 2008Did you catch Soulfly in London or Wolverhampton recently? Check out our live photos from the London show in the Soulfly gallery.
Earlier this week, Soulfly returned home from a string of festival and headline tour dates in Europe. Bassist Marcello Rapp, via phone back home in San Francisco, describes the experience as follows - "attitude, awesome, aggressive, sweaty, kick-ass." Next up, a U.S. tour with Slayer which starts on August 3rd. Now, before any of this touring business started, Soulfly shot a video. Remember? Ahhh, yeah...well, finally have it up online for you to see. But first, a couple words on this piece. This video, for the track "Seek N Strike," was shot out in the desert plains of Arizona back on June 1st. More specifically, the video was shot on the area surrounding the Cavalera ranch. True. The day, HOT. "It was a hot day, that day. Thing I remember most was it being 110, 115 degrees that day," recalls Marcello about the shoot. "Literally boiled our brains shooting this video." But, it was all worth it. "Grateful to see the results...very pleased with the results," concludes Marcello. Check it out for yourself, a Quicktime stream of "Seek N Strike" can be found in the VIDEO section. You can also request this video on Kerrang! TV - sel # 709.

One child's breakdown is a prime example. Four-year-old Abigale Evans broke into tears after becoming weary of talk about the presidential race. Video, taken by her mother, shows the child crying at the thought of "Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney." That video has now been shared nationwide.
Psychologist Dr. Peggy Mitchell Norwood says that political ads could be causing stress among lots of kids, unbeknownst to their parents.
"Kids have a hard time processing figures of speech and euphemisms [like] the 'disappearing middle class.' That can be very frightening for a child, because they take it literally," Dr. Norwood said.
A recent column on www.milehighmamas.com brought up the issue. The writer of that article, noted "My kids have seen ads from both presidential candidates, leaving them confused, worried, and even angry at times."
Amber Johnson, editor of Mile High Mamas, says that her own daughter has been affected by negative ads too asking.
"She's learning are they addressing the issues, or are they attacking someone's character," Johnson said.
Instead of banning television and internet videos, where political ads may pop up, Dr. Norwood recommends creating positive lessons out of negative ads.
"Help them process the information in a way they can understand," she said. "[Explain that] there are bullies on the playground and there are bullies on the campaign trail. But that's not what we do."

Comments about Patagonia Simple Guide Pants (Men's):
I purchased these pants to be my all-around backcountry pant for colder weather trips, and so far they fit the bill. Earlier this summer, I took them on a ten-day backpack through the White Mtns. of New Hampshire instead of rain pants/wind pants, and they got the job done. It rained a lot, and these pants kept my legs warm when I needed it. Like any pants in extended wet weather (rain pants included), however, these pants definitely have their saturation point, and they get a lot heavier when they are soaked.
Overall, they are well designed ("simple" indeed) in their cut and especially in the pockets, and I assume they will be durable over the years (although I can't speak for that since I've only taken them on this one trip so far).
If you buy these online, be aware that they are designed for "alpine climbing," so even though you can wear them on cooler summer adventures, the fabric thickness is designed more for cooler to cold weather. This makes them a bit heavier than say a lightweight summer pant, (these pants are certainly not "ultralight"). I will probably end up using them more for cold weather activities like skiing or winter climbing.
One last thing: I got the medium, and I'm a 32 x 32 and they felt a little looser than I would prefer—they were sagging without a belt despite the elastic in the back. I tried the small elsewhere, though, and they were definitely too tight in the crotch.
Overall, if you are looking for a tough pair of pants for the backcountry, these are a solid choice. I definitely recommend them.

Sky Ferreira for Maison Kitsuné.

When it comes to making miserable look good, Sky Ferreira is a pro. In a series of new ads shot by Henrik Purienne for Maison Kitsuné, Ferreira serves up some "OMG I HATE YOU, CLOSE THE CURTAINS," realness in some less-realistic lounge-wear. I mean, I'm sure there ~are~ people out there who lay around pouting and posing and reading The New York Times in a sheening, cobalt pullover, stark-white business socks and a floral, silk headscarf—but, yeah, I don't know any of those people. (Sorry for shattering your dreams, fellas. Most girls definitely don't wake up looking quite so easy-like-Sunday-morning.)

LOUSIVILLE - Anyone who has ever watched a medical drama on television has likely seen defibrillators in action.
Now, although they hope to never have to use them, the Louisville Town Council has agreed to purchase two of the life-saving devices.
The $3,260 cost will be taken from the towns capital reserve fund.
If they save one life, theyre worth having, said Town Supervisor Larry R. Legault, who noted one would be installed at the municipal building and the other would be installed at Louisville Arena.
Town Councilman Roy A. Slim Beshaw looked into the purchase, compared several companies and found CardiacLife in Rochester to be the cheapest. That company also has digital software that allows them to monitor the devices from afar, eliminating the more costly service plans offered by other AED (Automated External Defibrillator) retailers.
Mr. Beshaw said the company suggested placing the machines out of a public area.
You want easy access to it, but you want to keep it out of the public area, he said. You dont want it somewhere where people could take it down and start playing with it.
He said in Massena the arena staff keeps its defribillator inside a cabinet in the Zamboni room.
Mr. Beshaw said the company also suggested building cabinets for the devices, which would be installed on the walls.
Prior to voting 4-0 to make the purchase, Mr. Legault mentioned this purchase is something the town board has talked about in the past.
Is this something we want to do? he asked.
Councilwoman M. Gail Schneider noted that one point the town actually had money set aside to purchase at least one of the devices.
At one point we had money set aside for this and we never spent that money on anything else, she said.
Mr. Beshaw agreed.
Its probably something thats good to have, he said, noting that although hockey season is winding down at the arena it doesnt mean the arena will no longer be in use.
Winter is coming to a close, but there is still a lot of activity up there, he said, noting the arena hosts the towns summer recreation program each year and with soon to be completed renovations to the community room the hope is the arena will be used even more than it has been in the past.
I feel if we have the money we should do it, he said.
Councilman Patrick D. Carroll was not present at the meeting.

Colville heads
to Chelan
Colville High built a big early lead and cruised to a 44-26 win over Newport to annex the District 7 1A girl's basketball championship last Friday night at Mead High School.
Behind Ashley Knight's 28 points and 12 rebounds, the Indians (16-6) advanced to the title game with a 51-36 win last Wednesday over Lakeside in the opening round of District play.
CHS advances as District 7's top seed to this week's Bi-District 6-7 Tournament at Chelan High School and the Chelan Community Center.
The Indians will open Bi-District play Friday night at Chelan High School (5:45 p.m.) against the survivor of Wednesday night's loser-out titanic at Moses Lake High School between top-ranked Freeman (21-1) and second-ranked Cashmere (20-1).
Both Freeman and Cashmere were upset in their district tournaments last week, setting up a rare loser out/winner advances meeting between the two Class 1A powerhouses. Game time is 7 p.m. at Moses Lake High School.
In the other Bi-District loser-out game Wednesday at Moses Lake, Chelan (11-11) will oppose Newport (16-7) at 5:30 p.m.
That survivor will advance to play CTL District champion Okanogan (18-4) Friday night (5:45 p.m.) at the Chelan Community Center.
Regional tournaments up next for three survivors of Bi-District
The winners of Friday night's games will play on Saturday at 5 p.m. at the community center for seeding to the regional tournaments (Wenatchee and Yakima).
The loser's of Friday night's games will play Saturday at 1 p.m. (at the Chelan Community Center) for the Bi-District's third and final seed to regionals.
The Indians need to win one game to advance out of Bi-District.
"I like our chances," conceded CHS co-head coach, Ray Clark. "Especially after one of the two great teams (Freeman or Cashmere) is eliminated (on Wednesday). You don't figure something like that to happen."
Two-time defending State 1A champion Freeman was riding a 43-game winning streak before upstart Newport pulled off a 51-46 overtime upset over the Scotties in the District opener at Mead last Wednesday night.
Cashmere, winning games by an average of more than 20 points all season long, was upset by Okanogan 64-59 in the CTL title game last Saturday. Okanogan had lost a previous game to CHS by a scant two points.
CHS co-head coach Al Bushnell figures that it doesn't really matter who the Indians face at this point. It's the post-season and everybody's tough.
"It really doesn't matter," Bushnell said. "You have to be ready to compete. The important thing is that we don't have to play (a loser-out game) on Wednesday. That can suck the life out of you.
"We have two opportunities to win one game this weekend."
Cashmere and Freeman bring somewhat differing styles to the table. Precise Freeman plays tough man-to-man defense and likes to work the clock and time of possession. Cashmere, on the other hand, is more up-tempo and likely quicker.
The Indians are playing their best basketball in the post-season. Clark and Bushnell hope that trend continues this week in Chelan.
"We did a really good job on defense (at District)," Bushnell said. "Especially in that first half against Newport. We were able to make them do what we wanted them to do."
It didn't hurt that Colville hit half of its first half shots and rolled to a big 17-5 first quarter lead.
"We did a lot of good things in the first half of that Newport game," Clark said. "We ran the floor well and defended well.
"We are playing our best basketball of the season right now. The kids are excited."
Luu has solid two games on both ends
Clark and Bushnell praised all of their kids for stepping up their level of play at District last week. Senior guard Tasha Luu was acknowledged for her consistency at Mead last week.
"Tasha is playing under control… she gave us great leadership and eight quarters of great basketball on both ends," Clark said.
Knight led Colville with 13 points and Luu had 10 in the win over Newport.
Taylor Lewis, injured early in the first quarter, came back later and led NHS with eight points.
In the Newport win, Colville was 13 of 37 from two-point distance (35 percent) and one of four from long range. The Indians were 15 of 20 at the free throw line and committed 17 turnovers.
Knight, named to the All-NEA first team last week, also was on top of her game last week, particularly in that 28-point outburst against Lakeside.
Colville and Lakeside were tied 16-16 at halftime before the Indians went on a 19-7 third quarter run to take control.
"It took us awhile to get going against Lakeside," Bushnell said. "We were kind of unraveled for awhile."
The unraveling came during the latter stages of warm-up, when Colville starting guard Sadie Learn went down with an ankle injury. While Learn would play later in the game, the injury wreaked a little havoc with game plans and defensive assignments.
"It changed all our defensive assignments," Clark said. The coaching staff scrambled and inserted sophomore McKenna Cabbage into the starting line-up.
"McKenna came in and did a great job for us," Clark said.
CHS was 20 of 51 from the field (39 percent) and zero for three from three-point distance against LHS. The Indians shot a poor 11 of 26 at the free throw line. Colville committed only 10 turnovers in the big win.
In the game for third seed to Bi-District, Freeman built a comfortable early lead and held off Lakeside 47-36 behind Molly McIntyre's 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Taylor Flemming led Lakeside (11-12) with 13 points.

A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.

Q: Does heat or cold affect the shelf life of the product?
A: Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life.
Q: How do I compare "servings per can" to product weight?
A: The truth is you cannot. Our serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to Government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible.
For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1095 total meals), 1700 calories per day.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
A: Small dents may occur from shipping and this is normal. They do not pose a problem, provided the seal has not been broken at top or bottom of the can. If the seal has been broken at the top or bottom of the can, please contact Sam's Club Customer Service to resolve the issue. (888-746-7726)
Q: Are the cans marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 12022 means the can was produced in 2012 on the 22ndt day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

Since its 2006 debut, the men's footwear brand Generic Man has garnered praise for its innovative mash-ups of modern, minimalist design and old-fashioned craftsmanship. Company founders Kevin Carney and Brandon Day spent six months touring shoe factories in Italy before settling on a facility in Porto, Portugal — home to cork, port, and several generations of master cobblers — to produce its wares. The result? Chic "Wingman" brogue shoes, chukka boots, and suede saddle shoes, with nary a logo to be found. The older sibling of Generic Surplus, Day and Carney's clothing label, Generic Man offers the same understated style and unmatched versatility as its younger brother, but with a more sophisticated vibe. Generic Surplus has collaborated with the French couture label Comme des Garçons on Shirt (a line of slip-ons and lace-up sneakers in bright primary colors and neutral hues) and with Obey, the fashion label started by Shepard Fairey (the artist behind President Obama's "HOPE" campaign poster).

Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Foodby Paul Greenberg
Staff Pick
In the vein of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Four Fish looks at the current state of tuna, bass, salmon, and cod. Fished, farmed, modified, and championed, these four make up the bulk of our fish consumption. New York Times magazine writer Greenberg explores the past, present, and future of global aquaculture.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The history of four fish — bass, cod, salmon, and tuna — exposes a critical moment in our relationship with the truly last wild food we consume.
In the last few decades, humankind's relationship with the ocean has undergone a remarkable change. The environmental impact of commercial fishing and the advent of extensive fish farming have led to grave and widespread concerns about the uncertain future of wild fish. We are on the precipice of a cataclysm; there is a distinct possibility that our children's children will never eat a wild fish that has swum freely in the ocean. Are we on the brink of fishing every edible species of fish into extinction? And if so, how can we prevent such a disaster?
Paul Greenberg, a journalist who writes regularly for The New York Times Magazine and National Geographic, fears that we've reduced the natural variety of fish we consume to just four species: bass, cod, salmon, and tuna — and that, as a result of this lack of imagination coupled with an insatiable thirst for protein, we are dangerously overfishing every one of them. In Four Fish, he deftly uses these fish as a lens to provide a state of the ocean; traveling the world from Alaska's wild salmon runs to the massive fish farms of Vietnam, he explores the history of these four species as he examines where each stands at this critical moment in time.
In Four Fish, Greenberg seeks to determine whether we can bring these four beloved fish back from the edge of extinction. His conclusion? With government intervention, proper management, and above all, public awareness about the fish on our plate, there is hope yet that our troubled relationship with the ocean and the fish we find in it can be mended.
"Hugely informative, sincere and infectiously curious and enthusiastic." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The history of four fish — bass, cod, salmon, and tuna — exposes a critical moment in our relationship with the truly last wild food we consume.
Our species is more profoundly connected to the sea than we ever realized, as an intrepid cadre of scientists, athletes, and explorers is now discovering. Deep follows these adventurers into the ocean to report on the latest findings about its wondrous biology and#8212; and unimagined human abilities.
The deep sea remains Earthand#8217;s final frontier. And as James Nestor reveals, adventurous scientistsand#8217; current quests to solve the mysteries of the ocean are transforming not only our knowledge of the planet and its creatures, but also our understanding of the human body and mind. Over the course of the book, Nestor journeys from the oceanand#8217;s surface and#8212; where the extreme sport of freediving pushes the boundaries of human physical endurance and#8212; to its greatest, most otherworldly depth, 35,000 feet below sea level at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Along the way he finds and#8220;telepathicand#8221; corals that synchronize their blooming even though theyand#8217;re hundreds of miles apart, octopus species that thrive in 300-degree water, sharks that swim in unerringly straight lines through pitch blackness, and, most illuminating of all, the human pioneers whose discoveries are expanding our definition of what is possible in the natural world, and in ourselves.
"A necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why." -Sam Sifton, The New York Times Book Review.
Writer and life-long fisherman Paul Greenberg takes us on a journey, examining the four fish that dominate our menus: salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. Investigating the forces that get fish to our dinner tables, Greenberg reveals our damaged relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants. Just three decades ago, nearly everything we ate from the sea was wild. Today, rampant overfishing and an unprecedented biotech revolution have brought us to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex marketplace. Four Fish offers a way for us to move toward a future in which healthy and sustainable seafood is the rule rather than the exception.
About the Author
Paul Greenberg has been fishing since childhood, and writing for the New York Times, National Geographic, and GQ since adulthood. In 2005, his New York Times Magazine article on Chilean Sea Bass received the International Association of Culinary Professionals' award for excellence in food journalism. Greenberg has also received both a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship and a Food and Society Policy Fellowship.
Greenberg lives in Manhattan, New York, speaks Russian and French, and most recently went fishing off the Connecticut coast with his daughter this summer.

Comments about Meinl Professional Cymbal Bag:
this is a very nice bag. the construction as well as the materials are both very high quality; metal clasps (as opposed to plastic), dividers within both cymbal pouches, and one inch thick padding around the exterior. i was also pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see that there is somewhat large pouch on the back of the bag (opposite the hats pocket) to hold brushes, sticks, or bits of small hardware. there may indeed be slightly better bags out there, but at nowhere near this price. whether you play meinl or not (i play zildjians), get this bag...
Best Uses
Comments about Meinl Professional Cymbal Bag:
I picked up this bag while it was on sale. Great bag if you are on a budget and cannot afford a hard case. The bag is pretty heavily padded on the outside which is nice. Much better than my old cheap Zildjian cymbal bag. Plenty of room and includes 2 dividers in the large pocket and 1 divider for the hi-hat cymbals. Highly recommend!
Comments about Meinl Professional Cymbal Bag:
I have gigged with this bag a bunch, and no matter what happens, it keeps my cymbal safe. Cymbals never dent or scratch, and it's easy to carry. The stick bag attached to the back is also a great feature. The only thing the review fails to mention is that the bag can only hold three larger cymbals in the compartment, which is perfect for any jazz/rock drummers who don't carry much.

MASSENA The Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massenas 2014 spending plan calls for increasing the directors salary and providing funding for a possible move back to the downtown.
BDC officials will meet with the Town Council by the end of the month to finalize the spending plan.
Agency Chairman Daniel S. Pease said the salary increase for Executive Director Thomas G. Sullivan reflects his workload in the part-time position.
I want you guys to recognize the administrative expenses do include some raises for employees. After Toms four months with us, its obvious that the BDC has taken up a little bit more of his time than he anticipated, quite a bit more time than he anticipated, and were proposing a budget that does include a salary increase for him, as well as for Linda in recognition of the workload that both of them are experiencing, especially with the Main Street stuff. I think the raises are well-deserved, Mr. Pease said.
Mr. Sullivan is set to earn $40,000, while administrative assistant Linda M. Williams will be paid $15,600. Mr. Sullivans salary is up $6,000, a 15 percent increase, from when he was hired in late June. His predecessor, Michael V. Almasian, had been hired at a salary of $51,500 with no health insurance benefits.
Mr. Pease said Mr. Sullivans salary is still less than that of executive directors in the past.
The organization also discussed efforts being made toward a relocation downtown of BDCs home base.
Operations now are at 85 Robinson Road, the home of the village Department of Public Works offices.
I think weve been playing around with this for two years and the BDC has always, I guess the consensus is, we need a more centralized downtown location. Maybe 2014, if the budget is approved, is the time to do that. We budgeted in a modest amount for rent and utilities with the idea that we need to seriously, instead of just talking about it, actually move forward with the idea of getting the office downtown, Mr. Pease said.
Rent is $700 per month, equaling $8,400 total for the year. Utilities will cost $900 for the year, Internet service comes in at $720 and the telephone bill is $3,000.
Mr. Pease said that he would talk with the town board this week about the possibility of moving the office downtown.
The office once was housed in the Key Bank building on Main Street.
Mayor James F. Hidy attended last weeks BDC meeting and said he has seen progress in the organizations operation.
Revenues consist of $60,000 from the village, $75,000 from the town and $500 in investments, for a total revenue of $135,500.
Total expenses for the BDCs 2014 budget will be $135,500, of which $17,500 will come from downtown revitalization efforts.

I have a solution. It is assumed that the batteries fail when being charged or as a result of a charging anomaly. The batteries are used to start the APU, one time, and as a backup in the event of other failures. In any event the batteries most likely can fly one flight without a total discharge. I recommend that they disconnect the charging circuit from the batteries, let the batteries do their job with the full charge they have at the beginning of each flight. Then after each flight replace the batteries with fully charged batteries from a charging station. They laughed at Wilber and Orville too.
You wwould think Boeing would take any assistane offered to get their 787 fleet airborne again, or am I too trusting of Boeing?
I think Musk will do anything to get his mug in the media. I think he might have some good points, backed up with what he learned spending $100 million on an electric car battery. I feel also that he is taking a dig at Boeing to gain an advantage for his SpaceX enterprise that builds spacecraft on the cheap that competes with Boeing.
Were Musk to continue making unmanned "pick-up truck" cargo vessels I would not care, but he intends to use the same basic vehicle for manned flight. I would opine that only government has the ability to finance manned space flight.
Well said Mr. Elon Musk . Many a time basics help , as I keep saying . Battery design can be more complex than designing a particle that can move faster than speed of light . Or it can be as simple as 'mechano' or building blocks , toys for children less than 5 y.o. All depend upon the approach of persons looking into solutions to a problem. Whether it is commercial or professional or egoistic ! Solution will emerge or elude accordingly . Most of the time even defining the problem can be a problem ! And wise people know , if you can define the problem or locate the fault EXACTLY , more than half the job is done . Solution will be just a matter of routine steps . One has to be capable of asking the right questions to get the right answers . So good luck to National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing and all airlines concerned with this and similar problems .

Comments about UGG Australia Classic Short Boot (Women's):
Warm and cozy! Ordered one size smaller than I wear in shoes normally and they were a perfect fit. Required no breaking in. I sprayed them with waterproofing as soon as I got them, but haven't worn them in wet weather yet. I love throwing them on to run a quick errand or to keep my feet warm around the house. I'm hoping they'll last me a long time!

Members of the New Mexico Congressional Delegation, Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, Ben Ray Luján and Michelle Lujan Grisham, are asking President Obama to nominate a candidate to lead the Nuclear National Security Administration who will work with Congress to reform the agency and maintain the highest scientific and technical capabilities at Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories.
In a letter to President Obama, the federal lawmakers who represent the two labs say, "The NNSA has recently suffered from a series of ongoing management, security and budgetary problems and effective new leadership is needed now to restore the confidence of the public and of their representatives in Congress."
"We believe there is an opportunity now to make substantial improvement in NNSA's management and oversight responsibilities and we urge you to nominate someone with the leadership ability to help guide the transformation."
In their request, they emphasize the need to maintain adequate budgets for LANL and SNL in light of current federal budget constraints to support and grow the missions of the labs, maintain a strong employee workforce and complete environmental cleanup.

All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning, along with Pro Bowl wide receiver Vincent Jackson and wide receiver Austin Collie, All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling, members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and "American Idol" alumni Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young recently set out to extend America's thanks to troops as part of a USO tour, led by Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral James A. Winnefeld Jr.
The group is visiting deployed servicemen and women around the world to express a country's gratitude for their service and sacrifice while creating some lasting memories along the way.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning finds himself in the midst of some of his favorite fans, our troops, on March 1.
Baseball legend Curt Schilling poses for photos with servicemen and women in Afghanistan on March 1.
Buccaneers wide receiver Vincent Jackson autographs this serviceman's shirt as part of the recent USO tour to Djibouti on Feb. 27.
Manning and the rest of the touring party is greeted by military staff and personel at Spain's Rota Airbase as part of his first USO tour.
"I'm grateful for the chance as Vice Chairman to partner with the USO and bring an amazing group of talented people to visit our troops abroad," Admiral Winnefeld said. "This is a great opportunity for these celebrities to see America's sons and daughters in action and to personally thank them for their service."
Manning poses with troops following an awards ceremony where servicemen and women of Rota Airbase were recognized for their courage and dedication to their mission on Tuesday. Included among the awards presented that day were three Bronze Stars.
Jackson gets some one-on-one time with the Vice Chairman.
"What a privilege it is to join the USO in supporting our brave men and women deployed thousands of miles away from home," Jackson said. "Their courage and commitment make the American way possible. I want to personally thank Admiral Winnefeld for inviting me on this journey and I salute the USO for their efforts to bring home away from home to our troops."
Troops and military families at Sigonella Naval Air Base in Sicily, Italy, get treated to a performance by DeGarmo, left, and Young.
USO tour vet Diana DeGarmo said: "It's an honor to be invited back by Admiral Winnefeld and an even greater honor to be able to let our troops know how much America appreciates their dedication."
Schilling shares a personal message of thanks to troops as part of his second USO tour.
"I can't think of a better way to spend my time than by going out with the USO and Admiral Winnefeld and letting our troops know how much they mean to us all," he said.

MASSENA Contestants strapped on their snowshoes and shouldered their guns, ready to brave the cold at the second annual St. Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon.
Many wore old-fashioned fur coats, and modern hunting accoutrements such as scopes were frowned upon.
The participants departed one at a time, hustling into the woods at the Massena Rod and Gun Club to hurry along the 1.5-mile trail, stopping along the way to aim and fire at 10 targets placed along the course. They had only one shot per target, and each hit would peel five minutes off their total time. For the final challenge, the contestants threw a tomahawk at one last target to finish the course.
Each could make up to four runs, two each on Saturday and Sunday.
Some carried modern rifles or muskets, others antique or replica pieces. More than 30 people vied for the best time, tripling last years participation.
The competition was a fundraiser for the Fort de La Presentation Association, a group dedicated to building a monument on the site of a historic fort near Ogdensburg.
The event was inspired by a similar biathlon at Smugglers Notch, Vt.
We would travel over there, and we eventually got the idea, its fun there; why dont we do the same here? event organizer Frederick H. Hanss said.
Many of the participants were firearms enthusiasts looking for a chance to test their skills with their classic weaponry.
Were attracting a lot of people who like shooting muzzle-loading rifles, and theyre looking for something to do in the wintertime, Mr. Hanss said.
The idea was especially appealing to re-enactors.
When were shooting at each other, we just use blanks, John M. Miller III said.
Mr. Miller shoots both modern and antique firearms, and he said it takes some time to get used to older weaponry. Todays guns fire as soon as the trigger is squeezed, but antique muskets require time for the hammer to come down and ignite the powder.
Its so much different, because theres lag time, he said.
The lag time didnt seem to faze Mr. Miller too much. He won the mens smoothbore category in 32 minutes and five seconds.
Those who competed in the primitive category also had to wear old-fashioned wooden snowshoes, while those carrying current weapons could wear a more modern version.
This years competition was held in honor of Jack W. Gray, the owner of Grays Gun Shop in Lisbon, who died last year.
Im running for Jack today, said Mark L. Kelley, who took over Mr. Grays position as vice president of the St. Lawrence Valley Trappers Association.
Mr. Kelley won the mens in-line category in 32 minutes, five seconds.
The fastest overall time went to Harley A. Grice, a 75-year-old Middlebury, Vt., resident. Mr. Grice was a steady shot; after the deductions were factored in, his total time was negative 25 minutes and 40 seconds.

Comments about Marmot Cosset Component Jacket (Women's):
I really liked the style and principle of the jacket. The dark wine color is lovely, too. Unfortunately, the cut is quite abnormal. I am an average-sized (medium) woman with normal, rather thin arms. The upper arm diameter of the jacket is so tight that one is not able to wear comfortably a fleece pullover when having the inner fleece liner of the jacket attached. In addition, when the jacket is closed all the way up it is extremly tight to the throat. As the arm length was rather long already, I think I would not have been able to wear a size L, because the arm length would be way too long.

Comments about Marmot Cosset Component Jacket (Women's):
I searched for a long time for the perfect jacket as this was to be my first winter in the Northeast US after moving here from Africa! This jacket is perfect. The inner fleece is very warm, the color is lovely and the ability to remove the shell and the hood is a huge plus. Also that the top shell covers my butt ;-) It has been keeping me warm all winter so far. Just wish that there was a button behind neck to hold 2 shells together, and that the arms of the fleece didn,t come out at the cuffs so much - the only real complaint. I wear S/M depending on design. S fit me fine but would have been difficult to wear anything under so i sent it back and Rock Creek were great in getting me the M right back.
