BRASHER FALLS Although the bids for a new highway garage came in over budget, Brasher officials awarded contracts Monday and said theyll figure out where to obtain the rest of the funding.
We have a little problem financially. We have to work this out at our table, and we will, Town Supervisor M. James Dawson said.
Town Council members awarded the general construction contract to Danko Construction Corp., Massena, which bid $1,008,284. The contract for plumbing went to Norwood Plumbing, which bid $66,700. The electrical contract was awarded to Jordstat Construction Inc., Alexandria Bay, which bid $98,949. Mechanical work was awarded to Eni Mechanical Inc., Gouverneur, with a bid of $262,900.
Mr. Dawson said during a previous meeting that the bids amounted to $136,000 over budget. But, he said Monday, the Town Council would find a way to come up with the funding.
Our bids came in over budget. Thats not your problem; its ours, he told representatives from each company who were on hand to sign the contract documents. Were going to take care of it.
He asked representatives to keep change orders to a minimum, and suggested they let him know if they came across any redundancies in the project that could be changed to save money.
Planning to use casino gaming compact funds for the project, the town budgeted $1.3 million for the new building two years ago. Estimates from Beardsley Design Associates, its architectural and engineering firm, indicated it could cost $1.2 million to $1.5 million.

I would like to run LILO to invoke either Linux or DOS. This is a no brainer.
The boot block (think that's what it's called) would be in the 2nd disk partition with "/". That I recall should be legitimate.
Then I would like to have in DOS a TSR or perhaps a subroutine call (from which I would not return) to invoke XP. (noone should be exposed to that software(?) )
Can someone suggest how I would go about transferring control to XP on the first partition? This would if my failing memory serves include the MBR.
My reason for doing this is that I do not wish to have to boot Linux from XP's booter in case it becomes necessary to reinstall XP, which I hear is a pain where one sits, and in case I need to fiddle in that partition for other reasons.
Thanks in advance.

Willie Hugh Nelson (wɪli nɛlsən; born April 29, 1933) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, guitarist, author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Although bullying can occur among individuals of any weight, overweight and underweight children tend to be at higher risk for bullying. Targets of verbal bullying based on weight, sometimes referred to as "weight teasing," can experience a number of negative consequences, including a change in body perception.
Weight teasing by both family and peers has been associated with high levels of anxiety and low self-esteem among adolescents. Having low self-esteem because of peer criticism can change an individual's body image. Body image is the positive or negative feelings you have about the way you look.Continue ReadingPosted in Risk Factors

In Howard County, Maryland, we knew we needed to tackle bullying and cyber-harassment, after a few serious incidents focused our attention and raised awareness of these problems in our community. We examined current laws and discussed whether to push for new state legislation. We looked at how our public schools collect reports of bullying and later, how they handle them.
After much study and discussion, we decided on a multi-faceted approach that brings together a variety of community partners and offers a comprehensive ... Continue Reading

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Lesson Plan: The Quandary Game
In this problem solving lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 6-12, students use a free online game called Quandary to practice ethics, critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Lesson Plan Common Core State Standards Alignments
Students will:
- Apply critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making skills to online game play and writing tasks.
- Analyze situations from multiple perspectives and viewpoints.
- Distinguish between facts, opinions, and solutions.
- Demonstrate 21st century skills such as global awareness, information literacy, communication, and collaboration.
- Computers for pairs or trios of students
- Internet access for BrainPOP
- Copies of the opinion tracker note taking page
Preparation:This lesson plan is centered around the free online game Quandary. In Quandary, players must make difficult decisions in which there are no clear right or wrong answers but important consequences – to themselves, to others in the colony, and to the planet Braxos. In their interactions with other settlers in the futuristic colony, players must consider facts, opinions and solutions, just like in real life. You can view the Quandary standards mapping page to see a complete list of skills and concepts addressed through the game.
There are three episodes (scenarios) in Quandary. In Episode 1: Lost Sheep, a predator native to Braxos is attacking the sheep that the colony uses for food and clothes, but players learn that the predator also has medicinal value that could help the colonists fight disease. In Episode 2: Water War, the community's public water well appears to be polluted, and the only other well belongs to a colonist who is charging for access. In Episode 3: Fashion Faction, the colony's tailor has started making special alterations to the standard uniform for his friends, which some colonists say is dividing the community.
Each episode takes about 10-30 minutes to complete, depending on the speed of the player. The episodes don't have to be completed in order, but the whole class should explore the same episode simultaneously to facilitate meaningful discussions afterward. Quandary's registration system allows players to save their progress after each episode and return by logging-in at a different time. It's not necessary to register to play the game, but note that progress will not be saved.
On the Quandary Teacher's Page, you can view a 5 minute video showing how Quandary is being used in the classroom. A printable game guide and lesson plan with tips on implementing the game are also available. Portions of the game description and lesson plan here have been adapted from the Quandary site.
To prepare for game play, print the opinion tracker page and make a class set of photocopies.
Lesson Procedure:
- Tell students that they will be playing a game called Quandary. Ask students what they think the word "quandary" means.
- Play the one minute introductory video to introduce students to the objective of the game and provide context clues about the term "quandary".
- Pass out the opinion tracker page and encourage students to use the page to take notes during game play as needed.
- Pair students up (or have them work in groups of threes) and play one episode of the game. Encourage students to discuss the game with their peers and work collaboratively to make decisions. Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for game play. Students who finish early can replay the episode and see how things would have turned out differently when alternate choices are made. Students who don't finish in time can save their progress.
- Bring students back to a whole class discussion. Ask questions such as: What is the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a solution? What options did you have for solving the colony's problem? What made you choose the solution you chose? Did you find it hard to choose? If so, why? How well did your colony do overall? What do you think the success of the colony depends on? How would you measure success? Can you come up with any other solutions to the dilemma? You could also have students write their reflections in a journal.
- You may want to use BrainPOP resources to help build student background knowledge about the dilemmas faced during the game and build cross-curricular connections:
In Episode 1: Lost Sheep, a predator native to Braxos is attacking the sheep that the colony uses for food and clothes, but players learn that the predator also has medicinal value that could help the colonists fight disease. Use the Ecosystems, Food Chains, Natural Selection, and Vaccines topic pages to provide students with more information about the concepts.
In Episode 2: Water War, the community's public water well appears to be polluted, and the only other well belongs to a colonist who is charging for access. The Water, Water Supply, Ground Water, and Water Pollution movie topic pages can be used to build students' background knowledge.
In Episode 3: Fashion Faction, the colony's tailor has started making special alterations to the standard uniform for his friends, which some colonists say is dividing the community. The Bill of Rights, Civil Right, Court System, and Democracy movies can be used to help students make connections to our own society and rules.
- Provide another 15 minutes for students to explore the same episode, either picking up where they left off if they saved their progress, or starting fresh and making new decisions based on what they learned during the class discussion.
- Have students save their work if they haven't finished and talk with their group for 2-3 minutes: What if there was another colony on Planet Braxos with a different Captain? How would this impact your decisions?
- Assess student learning by asking students to reflect in writing about key concepts. You may want to have them reflect on prompts such as Why do you think it's important to understand other points of views? or Have you ever faced a similar problem in your own life – a problem where there's no clear answer and you didn't know what to do? Is there anything that you learned from the game that would help you make decisions when you face similar problems in your own life?
Extension Activity:Have students explore the other two episodes of the game, either in class or as homework followed by a debriefing session in class. You can also lead a whole group game session by project Quandary onto your interactive whiteboard and facilitating discussion through each step of game play.

POTSDAM The Clarkson University mens hockey team delivered one of its best efforts of the season when it needed it most Friday night.
The Golden Knights shut out Dartmouth College 4-0 before 2,142 fans in an ECAC Hockey game at Cheel Arena, moving into a three-way tie for fifth place in the conference standings with the Big Green and Yale.
Clarkson (9-15-7 overall, 8-8-3 conference) plays its final regular-season home game at 7 tonight against Harvard and finds itself just one point behind Union College for the final bye position with three games to play. But the Golden Knights are also only two points ahead of the final spot that would receive home ice for a first-round playoff series.
Its important for us to learn to win important games, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. Thats the next stage we have to have. This weekend is a big weekend for us and we needed to respond. Its time for us to respond to a big weekend in a big way and the first step was tonight.
Said Clarksons Mike Garlasco, Its playoff hockey already. Were trying to get that bye first week. That would be huge for us and thats what were going for right now. Its playoff mentality for sure.
Clarkson lost 5-1 to the Big Green in Hanover, N.H., on Jan. 26, but set a tone for Fridays game early when fourth-line forward Mike Garlasco gave the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead with his first goal in three years at 2 minutes, 11 seconds of the first period.
Defenseman Alex Boak, a Norwood native, took a shot from inside the blue line and Garlasco redirected it from just outside the crease between the legs of Big Green goalie Cab Morris.
Garlasco, a junior, was playing in just his 13th game of the season and had missed 16 of Clarksons last 20 games either due to injury or not being selected to dress.
When you dont play for a while you dont want to miss your opportunity, Jones said. He works hard in practice. We talked to him a few weeks back that he was on the cusp (of playing), that he was making progress. Hes taken full advantage of the opportunity here right now. Kudos to him for staying in game shape and staying ready.
Clarkson took a 2-0 lead on the Big Green (12-10-4, 8-8-3) at 5:43 of the second period on a rebound goal from Jarrett Burton. Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet pulled Morris after that goal and replaced him with James Kruger, a freshman who had yet to play this season.
(Clarkson) was very opportunistic, Gaudet said. I think we are better than we showed. I thought it was a closer game than the score. It was just one of those games where all of a sudden we were down. It wasnt like we played poorly. They did a good job.
Boak made it 3-0 with a goal on a slap shot at 10:10 of the second period and Burton closed out the scoring with an empty-net goal at 18:44 of the third period.
Tonight we were all over these guys, Boak said. We kind of suffocated them. We got momentum off our blocked shots (on the penalty kill). All four of our lines were clicking, and we were keeping those guys to the outside and they didnt get very many shots in the slot area.
Freshman goalie Greg Lewis finished with 28 saves for his second career shutout.
We came out hard today and the defense played well in front of me, Lewis said. Everybody was blocking shots. We had that hunger to block shots and play good defensive and it made it to the offensive zone. Weve been playing good hockey the past few weeks and we came out to play tonight.
nNOTES: Clarkson was missing senior defenseman Nik Pokulok in Saturdays game. Pokulok, along with seniors Adam Pawlick, Andrew Himelson and Cody Rosen will be honored after tonights game against Harvard. ... Ben Sexton assisted on two of Clarksons goals Friday. ... Dartmouth assistant coach John Rose is a Potsdam native and former Sandstoner hockey player.

Information For:
Obtaining Academic Credit
If you have obtained an internship and wish to receive accounting academic credit, this page will explain the process.
The Accounting Internship Program is open to:
- Junior and Senior declared accounting majors and Masters of Accounting students.
- Students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in major courses at the end of the semester prior to the internship semester. The major GPA includes all attempts in any ACCT courses and ACCT 23020 and ACCT 23021 for the purpose of internship GPA determination.
- Undergraduate accounting majors must have completed ACCT 23020 and ACCT 23021 (or equivalent), and have enrolled in at least one other accounting course.
- Masters of Accounting students must have completed ACCT 33012 and 33010 (or equivalent).
Academic Credit:
You may take the internship for credit. It is worth 3 academic credits (grade base is S/U). Students are required to register for ACCT 43092 (undergraduate) or ACCT 63092 (graduate) if they want to receive academic credit (after approval is received to register for the course). Only one internship experience is allowed for academic credit in each degree program.
All Academic Credit Internships:
- Must be at least 300 hours.
Typically, your current position with an employer you may have a full-time or part-time position does not qualify for accounting academic credit. However, if you current employer is willing to let you doing something different that is accounting related, it can be considered for accounting academic credit.
- Approved by the Career Services Office in the College of Business prior to the beginning of the internship.
- Approved by the Accounting Department Internship Coordinator ( Mr. Rose) prior to the beginning of the internship.
The majority of the internships are in the spring semester; however, there are some that are in the summer and also the fall semester.
Even though you may not qualify for Accounting academic credit due to not meeting the minimum GPA requirement and/or not having the required course work, you may qualify for general business academic credit. Therefore, it is recommended you complete the internship form.
Please contact the departments that issued you any scholarships or financial aid to determine the impact if you do not register for classes during your internship.
If you are working full time during your internship, it is recommended that you do not take any classes so you can devote the necessary time to your internship and be successful. If it necessary due to scholarships or financial aid reasons, it is recommended you register for the internship course and take an online non-major elective.

There are a lot of high-end, high-performance universally compatible headphones and earbuds on the market. Beats by Dr. Dre probably comes to mind, and maybe even Incipio. But if you aren't already acquainted with ClarityOne, you're missing out. The company is responsible for some of the best earbuds we've ever seen (or heard?), and now, with their new over-ear headphones, they've earned our title of mobile accessory of the week yet again.
Last time we checked in with ClarityOne, we were amazed at the patented PureSound Processor used in their earbuds to eliminate all distortion and allow for top sound clarity. As one reviewer from BlackBerry OS noted, the PureSound processor isn't just a gimmick, but was more than 12 years in the making. It works by creating "opposing magnetic forces that cancel out the inductive reactance."
Not surprisingly, the company has put the same technology into their new over-ear headphones, so you get your music, and nothing else, in a comfortable over-ear model.
If you're curious about specs, BlackBerry OS was good enough to put a list together:
- Sensitivity (1kHz): 110dB SPL/mW
- Frequency Range: 35 Hz – 17 kHz
- Jack Plug: 3.5 mm stereo gold plated with 1/8 to /1/4 adapter
- Cable Length: 48 in/1.12 m
- Transducer: neodymium magnet
- Impedance (1kHz): 8 ohm
And, along with the fact that they provide pretty much the best sound you'll ever get from a set of headphones, extra thoughtful details, like the ability to swivel the headphones' earpieces, make these fairly hard to match.
Of course, ClarityOne's over-ear headphones are compatible with almost every device you can name – tablets like the Acer Iconica, Apple devices like iPhone and iPod, Samsung phones like the Galaxy line, and pretty much every other cell phone you can connect headphones to. So you can enjoy exceptional sound quality and clarity whenever and on whatever device.

For the second game in two days, OFA will be looking for a win to clinch a Northern Conference Hockey division title as the Blue Devils visit Potsdam for a 5 p.m. makeup start.
And the Blue Devils, who tied St. Lawrence Central 3-3 in their Senior Night game at the Golden Dome on Monday, wont be alone.
As OFA looks for a victory to clinch the NACs Division II Championship, Potsdam will be looking for a victory to clinch the Division I crown. The possibility of matching co-championships was also created in Mondays tie which left 10-3-1 St. Lawrence Central (14-5-1) with 21 points and 9-2-2 OFA (10-5-4) with 20 points.
Potsdam (9-2-0 18 points) can vault past Massena (9-2-1 19 points) in the final D1 standings with a victory and tie the Raiders on top if a draw ensues.
Its going to be a very tough game tomorrow, said OFA Coach Jon Frederick as his team looks to go unbeaten against Division I foes this season where they beat Massena and Salmon River and tied Canton. But I certainly liked the character we showed tonight. We started slowly and fell behind 2-0 but we fought back very hard.
Mickey Locke felt the same way about his Larries who regrouped after allowing three straight OFA goals to capitalize on the opportunity of pulling their goalie on a power play and tying the game at 3-3 while skating 6-on-4 with 10 seconds remaining in regulation.
We wanted to get off to a fast start and we spent a lot of energy on our forecheck to establish our offense. We scored twice but we had the opportunity to score a couple of other times in the first period. We didnt convert and OFA is a very good team and they came right back, said Locke.
We had to very cognizant of where Brandon Mullin was and in the first period we did a great job at it. But he got going late in the second period and in the third period.
Mondays game featured two of the NACs top offensive threats in OFAs Mullin (20 goals, 9 assists) and SLCs Luke Arquiett (18 goals, 21 assists) and two of the best netminders in the goaltending rich NAC in OFAs Dave Prudhomme and SLCs Nate McLaughlin.
All four were major factors.
Arquiett picked up a goal and an assist leading SLC to a 2-0 first period lead and Mullin set up OFAs tying goal at 2-2 and scored a go-ahead goal 3-2 in the first four minutes of the third period.
Prudhome stopped 36 shots in the Devils crease with 14 in the third period and McLaughlin handled 34 saves with 15 in the second period.
It was a very good game and both goalies played very well. Both teams had a lot of chances and we had a big chance late in the game when we on the power play, said OFA Associate Coach Matt Morley.
The Larries converted their last chance pulling their goalie when OFA was called for penalty with 29 seconds to play.
Kody Kocsis controlled in the puck in a wild sequence and cooly skated in close and lifted a backhand shot through a crowd of players and just under the cross with 10 seconds remaining.
Luke Arquiett won the faceoff which meant everything and then we showed great patience to score after we had a two passes in front of the net, said Locke of the dramatic equalizer which was set up by Devin Eutos second assist of the game and by Blake Baldwin who scored SLCs second goal.
SLC opened the scoring at 5:18 of the first period when Arquiett controlled a lead pass from Ian Lynch and sniped a shot off the left goalpost and into the net. Baldwin converted a power play goal directly in front of net for 2-0 from Euto and Arquiett at 10:43.
The only goal of the second period saw OFAs Jon Tayler carry puck upice and score unassisted with a wrist shot into the lower lefthand corner of the goal at 10:44.
Mullins defensive diligent and reach led to OFA goals at 0:43 and 3:59 of the third period.
On the first, he forced a turnover at midice, carried the puck behind the SLC net and passed it to the point to Burke Comeau who ripped a slap shot which Jared Barr redirected in to the net. OFAs only lead came when Mullin stole the puck in the attacking zone, circled behind the net and made quick move out front and stuffed a backhander past McLaughlin.
SENIOR SALUTE: Mondays Senior Night game at the Golden Dome saw the school district and the coaches honor six seniors, and their parents, for leadership in an outstanding season. Honored were: Jake Garrison (Spencer and Peggy Garrison), Joe Giglio (Michael and Mary Giglio), Drew Costigan (Sean and Jeanette Costigan), Donald Swan (Donald and Kathy Swan), Brandon Mullin (Martha Lightfoot and Bill Mullin) and Gian Rufa (David and Wendy Rufa).

|Bullying Prevention/Conflict Resolution
Bullying, while it once might have been considered normal youth behavior, has become recognized as seriously damaging. Studies have shown that bullies frequently go on to have criminal records as adults, and their behavior can adversely affect the mental health of the victim, as well as give the perception of an unsafe school. Emphasizing the importance of this issue, recent studies indicate that many perpetrators of school shootings reported being bullied prior to their attacks.
Though students have reported being bullied due to their physical appearance, religion, ethnic origin and actual or perceived sexual orientation, research indicates the majority of incidences of bullying occur due to the victim possessing some specific personality traits. Victims are often loners, typically with few friends and therefore easily isolated. Contrary to popular notions, research indicates that bullies frequently have very high self-esteem, while their victims tend to have lower self-esteem, be physically weaker than their tormentors and lack social self-defense skills. Some victims skip days of school or are driven to eventually drop out altogether to avoid their tormentors.
Although bullying is frequently thought of as a male activity consisting of such overt acts as physical intimidation or the more common verbal abuse or threats, a recently recognized form is relational aggression, a form of bullying more commonly practiced by girls than boys. This often takes the form of organized shunning, whispering, spreading negative rumors and mocking particular students. Though it doesn't leave physical scars, this form of bullying can leave its victims with lasting psychological damage.
Nearly every state has passed legislation defining and prohibiting bullying, often authorizing, encouraging and even requiring local school districts to identify methods to decrease and document bullying, and to find nonviolent methods of conflict resolution.

By WILLIS J. OLSONPrice
I am an employee of Mr. Murray who was employed at the Tower mine outside of Price. I'm a third generation coal miner. I started my mining career in 1974 working for U.S. Fuel in Hiawatha where I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with my dad for several years before he retired with a UMWA pension. I have mine foreman papers in three states (Utah, Colorado and New Mexico). I have been in the coal industry for over 30 years.
Of the three mines that Mr. Murray now owns in Utah I have personally spent some time in each and every one. Tower mine is the one I was working for on Aug. 26, 2007 when I was told that many of us would be laid off for an undetermined amount of time, while studies were to be made to insure our safety. I have mixed emotions about this layoff, having just moved back to Utah after being a foreman for Oxbow Mining for several years and a fireboss for West Elk Mining both in Somerset, Colo. I have only been back in Price for a few months. So my family was just getting settled back in.
Then came Aug. 6 and the news of our trapped miners at Crandall Canyon. I prayed everyone would be okay but that was not to be. Then I thought back to when I was running a crew of contract miners and wishing for a chance to be put on full time because I felt this was a good mine to work at, great working conditions and a group of good miners working around and with your at this mine site. Then came the night of Aug. 16, 2007 when the mine bounce occurred killing three miners and injuring six others. One of them was my cousin, another very experienced miner whom I think highly of. Thank God he was able to leave the hospital with cuts and bruises. Emotionally he is having a lot of trouble. As all events are unfolding around us, we all turn on the television to find out all we can about what is transpiring. One of the things I've noticed is that in my personal opinion the media, as well as some of the elected officials are using this disaster to bring attention to themselves and their own agenda. I have come to expect it from the media even before I went to the employment office around 10 a.m. on Aug. 27, 2007 to find Channel 5 news setting up a camera and asking if there was any laid off miners present. If they were, they were as silent as I was.
Then there is our governor wanting all three of Mr. Murray mines investigated. Why not have all mining operations in Carbon and Emery counties investigated. He stated "if it takes every penny this guy has," he wants to bring closure to this tragedy.
Why not point a couple of fingers at MSHA who approved this mining plan. As one of many of Mr. Murray's fireboss and face bosses who perform preshift inspections at Tower I have always found the work area to be reasonably safe at the time of the exams or the area would be written up or "danger off" and made safe before work would continue in that area. These are done three hours before a shift change (every eight hours). All underground coal mines are inspected quarterly as well as having spot inspections whenever the federal inspectors want to do them.
When dealing with conditions of nature they can change at any time. That is the nature of the beast. All you can do is play the cards you're dealt and make things as safe as possible. I honestly feel Mr. Murray has done everything possible to retrieve the lost miners at Crandall Canyon and should be commended for his efforts. How many mine owners have you seen stay on site day after day and give his all until the end.
Even our governor along with the media faded into the sunset with the dimming of the spotlight.

Call for Proposals - LMJ 17: My Favorite Things: The Joy of the Gizmo
Leonardo Music Journal Call for Proposals
LMJ 17: My Favorite Things: The Joy of the Gizmo
If, as Marshall McLuhan so famously suggested, the medium is the message, then the gizmo must be the one-liner. From baroque violinists to laptoppers, sound artists have long fetishized the tools of their trade, the mere naming of which can provoke an instant reaction: Shout "LA-2A," "TR-808," "JTM45" or "Tube Screamer" in a room full of musicians, and you will notice the eyes brighten, the breath shorten and the anecdotes pour forth. But only to a point: Many a "secret weapon" is held close to the chest.
This is the chance to get that secret off your chest: LMJ 17 will address the significance of physical objects in music and sound art in a time of increasing emphasis on software and file exchange. We are soliciting papers (2,000--5,000 words) and briefer artist's statements (500-1,000 words) on the role of purchased or homemade instruments, effect boxes, pieces of studio gear, "bent" toys, self-built circuits, and so on, in your work as a composer, performer, artist, producer, recording engineer, etc. Wherever possible, please include photographs of your subjects (300 ppi TIFFs preferred).
Please submit a brief proposal by 23 October 2006 to Nicolas Collins at <firstname.lastname@example.com>. Final texts and all materials (text, image, sound file) must be received by 2 January 2007. Contact Nicolas Collins <email@example.com> with any questions.
Reentry: New York City at EYEBEAM
Reentry: New York City merges iconic night cityscapes with HD computer simulations in a series of studies for a daring new public art project: synthetic meteor showers in the Manhattan sky. Evoking the spectacle of the Apocalyptic Sublime painting movement and the audacity of Land Art, these new simulations created by Bill Dolson during his Eyebeam residency will be on view Sept. 21 through Oct. 21, with a special opening reception Sept. 21, 6-8pm. The exhibition is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 12-6pm and is free of charge with a suggested donation. Eyebeam is located at 540 W. 21st Street between 10th & 11th Aves in Chelsea.
Reentry: New York City contains twelve HD videos of synthetic meteor showers envisioned as luminous, ephemeral drawings in the upper atmosphere that will persist for only seconds or at most, minutes. While quite fantastic, the studies are conceived to demonstrate the technological feasibility of the project, established with the contributions of scientists at agencies such as NASA, Ames Research Center and Los Alamos National Laboratory, among many others. Technical and conceptual background information will be explained in an animated demo, short documentary and printed handouts accompanying the exhibition.
Reentry: New York City uses new technologies to draw on the tradition of the early large scale land art first produced in the 1970s by such innovators as Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, Robert Morris and Walter de Maria, evoking the same sense of daring, wonder and existential awareness which the scale of these seminal works produced. Updated in a scientifically inspired gesture, the synthetic meteors avoid the permanent monumentalism of earlier land art by their dynamic and ephemeral nature.
Reentry New York City recalls the Apocalyptic Sublime, a painting genre of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Britain, in both content ...

Aria F. Olumi, MD, is a urologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Urology. He specializes in the treatment of cancer and related research.
ResearchDr. Olumi's laboratroy focuses on mechanisms of inducing death in cancer cells. The laboratory has been investigating the drug, TRAIL, that induces death in cancer cells, but not normal cells, therefore, patients experience minimal side effects from the drug. Since some cancer cells develop resistance to the drug, TRAIL, the laboratory is investigating molecular mechanisms to convert resistant cancer cells to become sensitive. The Olumi lab has identified two novel pathways of regulating resistant cancer cells (c-Fos and FBXL10). The research can lead to improvement of currently available cancer therapies and development of new cancer therapy agents.

Parenting Is Pricier Than Ever
Today the Huffington Post reinforces what I realize every time I write my son's daycare check: Parenting is incredibly expensive. Last year the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates put the cost at around $300,000 for a middle-class family; the WSJ says that it's a "severe underestimate." (And I would agree, since that's about what we pay for preschool. Just kidding. Kind of.) The WSJ says the figure is more like $900,000, when you factor in things like the lost wages incurred by stay-at-home parents and the astronomical cost of college.
HuffPo pinpoints eight reasons why kids are so expensive: transportation, health care, extracurricular activities, technology, child care, college, housing, and food. I'm curious: Where do you feel the squeeze?
I don't think of health care much, thankfully. We're fortunate to have a good insurance plan, and luckily we haven't had to take advantage of it much (yet). We put away money each month in a 529 for college, though seeing as how many schools now cost $50,000 per year, I panic whenever I check the balance. Something has to give, right? Thankfully, Andy is too young for extracurricular activities, and his main source of "technology" is my husband's much-abused, two-year-old iPad. As for food, well, we probably eat out too much, but I also shop faithfully at Market Basket, where I find good deals on huge rotisserie chickens and the best Italian subs I've ever had. (Just don't go on a weekend morning unless you want to have a nervous breakdown trying to find a parking spot.)
The issues that really get our family are housing and child care. I'm happy with our child care choice, but that peace of mind also comes at a high price. And the cost is a big reason why we're waiting a bit to have another kid. I can't imagine paying twice the tuition right now. Thankfully, prices decline as he gets older.
Housing, meanwhile, is a huge sticking point for many families I know. I wrote a piece for the Globe asking, "Is home buying tougher on the wallet or the ego?" For many, it's the ego. So many people approached me expressing frustration that they had to settle for musty fixer-uppers, couldn't afford to live in the town they grew up in, couldn't compete with buyers paying straight-up cash for $800,000 condos (who are these people?), and on and on. Living around here isn't cheap, which can be hugely discouraging for people trying to budget properly while also moving on with their lives, whether that means upgrading to a larger home or buying their first one.
I'd like to know: What are your sticking points? Do you ever feel financially strapped when it comes to parenting? I'm sure some commenters will point out that, yes, one can be virtuous and eat every meal at home, or pile three kids into the same bedroom, or skip the daycare and become a stay-at-home parent, but ... for many of us, that's an extreme solution, not the reality.
So: How do you do it? Where do you scrimp, where do you splurge, and do you ever check your bank account balance and want to weep?

I was just curious what a suitability review is and if I should be worried about it or if this is something everyone has to go through?

Re: Suitability Review
I'm currently going through a suitability review as part of my enlistment, I'm just waiting for a reply at the moment. As far as I know they only do suitability reviews if you have a moral offense of any sort. They just need to send your enlistment packet in and letter you well write for review. It's almost like getting a waiver but not getting a waiver according to my recruiter. I've been waiting for about a week now and still no response. It may also be if you told your recruiter you had a certain medical condition or problem in the past also that doesn't require a waiver, but they may still need a suitability review. Basically to put it simply it's like applying for a waiver without needing or getting a waiver. It's not as serious as a waiver but still needs to be looked at and approved before you can enlist.
Hope this helps and good luck.Last edited by robe9206; June 18th, 2012, 10:43 PM.
Re: Suitability Review
Here's what I found on suitability reviews in AR 601-210, Chapter 4-2.2e. Active and Reserve Components Enlisted Program:
"e. Suitability will be determined by the following:
(1) Applicants with a criminal history (regardless of disposition) or questionable conduct character, but because of
dismissed charges, plea bargains, or release without prosecution, must have a suitability review for determination of
enlistment along with a commander's list of recommendation. Reviewer will determine if a personal interview with the
applicant is required, and, if so, may be accomplished telephonically. Approval will be annotated on the DD Form
1966 remarks section with a review date, name and title of reviewer.
(a) Suitability review will be conducted on the following offenses prior to any processing on all applicants (the
appropriate review level is also noted):
1. Two or more misconduct offenses per figure 4–3 (see para 4–10) (Recruiting Battalion Leadership Team or
equivalent member of the ARNG).
2. Combination of four or more non-traffic and misconduct offenses per figures 4–2 and 4–3 (see paras 4–9 and
4–10) (Recruiting Battalion CDR or equivalent member of the ARNG).
3. One or more major misconduct offenses per figure 4–4 (see para 4–11) or changes considered felonies under the
local law, regardless of disposition (CG, USAREC or equivalent member of the ARNG approval).
4. Domestic battery/violence offense includes but is not limited to, charge(s) of domestic violence, assault, simple
assault, assault and battery, battery, assault with the intent to commit bodily harm, assault on a person, or abuse by an
applicant against their parent, step-parent, sister, or brother, regardless of disposition. (Recruiting Battalion Leadership
Team or equivalent member of the ARNG, unless otherwise noted.)
5. Crime of domestic violence. An offense that involves the use or attempted use of physical force, or threatened use
of a deadly weapon committed by a current or former spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim; by a person with whom
the victim shares a child in common; by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse,
parent, or guardian; or by a person who was similarly situated to a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim. Persons
who are similarly situated to a spouse include two persons who are residing at the same location in an intimate,
relationship with the intent to make that place their home (CG, USAREC or equivalent member of the ARNG
There's more, but I think for the scope of the question, this probably enough.
Re: Suitability Review
Originally posted by rmp2 View PostThanks for the replies. I got a call from my recruiter called me Monday (6/18/12) and told me I was good to proceed to MEPS. I am scheduled to go on July 2nd.
Re: Suitability Review
In all I think about a week, but most of that was because I had to do a little leg work on my own. I had to get paper work showing I had a charge from 2003 expunged. I got that on Friday 6/15 and scanned a copy over to my recuiter that same day. Monday 6/18 he replied back. So in acutal responce time if you count the weekend it only took 4 days.
Re: Suitability Review
is it possible to resubmit a review after denial? I was denied today and was wondering could I write a letter with my review?
