- How to Read a Study Record
Residual neurological deficits from stroke lead to gait inefficiencies, resulting in an extremely high energy cost of movement and contributing to overall disability and lower quality of life. Therefore, interventions targeting movement economy should be developed for those in the chronic phase of stroke recovery. This study is designed to compare the effect of two distinctly different exercise paradigms (a higher-intensity treadmill training program and a lower-intensity group exercise program) on economy of movement during over-ground walking and activities of daily living, as well as the extent to which gains in muscular strength, muscular endurance, and balance predict changes in movement economy.

A Colorado woman is suing the state's Planned Parenthood franchise and one of its doctors whom she alleges forced her to go through with an abortion without proper anesthesia, and then left part of the baby in her body.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the pro-life legal advocacy group that is representing 40-year-old Ayanna Byer in the case, said that once inside Planned Parenthood's abortion clinic in Colorado Springs, Byer changed her mind about having the procedure after realizing the facility was not going to provide the agreed-upon intravenous anesthesia for pain. Shockingly, the abortionist forged ahead with the procedure anyway, and two days later Byer ended up in a local emergency room, the victim of a botched abortion.
According to the lawsuit, filed in Colorado's El Paso County District Court, Byer told the doctor that she did not want to go ahead with the procedure because the clinic staff had not been able to get an anesthesia I.V. into her vein. Although the abortionist assured her that an I.V. would be administered, he then turned on the vacuum machine and proceeded with abortion, telling Byer it was too late to stop.
Byer was fully awake throughout the procedure, and "was forced to feel the full pain of the procedure against her will and without the promised anesthesia," related the ADF in its account of the case. "The abortionist stopped after seven minutes and sent Byer home with pain pills." Two days later when she went to the emergency room, Byer discovered that part of the baby's body had been left inside her.

In response to Fred Richardson's letter of Jan. 29 (Letters to the Editor, Sun Advocate).
First of all I have had a lot of compliments and people contact me and agree with my letter that he criticized. That has actually been done about many letters I have written to the Sun Advocate, but especially the one he referred to in his latest letter.
Fred's original letter (Nov. 20, 2012) was, I thought, mostly are repeat of the Romney campaign speeches which he claims were absolute facts. He claims there were no facts in my response, yet everyone I talk to says there were facts there.
Fred said or implied that if Romney were elected everything would have been perfect or that everyone would be employed in a high paying job.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I didn't find any facts in his letter.
Fred asked that people should tell him why they voted for Obama. I did tell him why, and I also included facts why I did not vote for Romney.
Fred says that Obama is unwilling to compromise. The compromise I criticized Obama for was in order to get the debt limit raised which would have put us into a deep recession.
I didn't comment on many of his points, but merely responded as to why I voted for Obama.
I am a liberal. I got all my liberal beliefs from the four most liberal books ever written: the four gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
I do believe in the separation of government and religion. I believe when Christ was presented with the coin with Caesar's picture on it he said render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's (their government) and render unto God that which is God's.
That was the separation of church and state.

Region 1: EPA New England
Environmental Justice Program and Civil Rights
EPA New England's Office of Civil Rights and Urban Affairs (OCRUA) administers the region's civil rights and environmental justice programs.
Environmental Justice
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
Environmental Justice (EJ) is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
Fair treatment means that no group of people, including any racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group, should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or the execution of federal, state, local, and tribal programs and policies.
Meaningful involvement means that: (1) potentially affected community residents have an appropriate opportunity to participate in decisions about a proposed activity that will affect their environment and/or health; (2) the public's contribution can influence the regulatory agency's decision; (3) the concerns of all participants involved will be considered in the decision making process; and (4) the decision makers seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected.
EPA New England reaffirmed its commitment to environmental justice in the October 2001 EPA New England Regional Policy on Environmental Justice.
Civil Rights
EPA New England is committed to providing equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment based on merit, without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, parental status, or disability. Under EPA's Title VI implementing regulations found at 40 C.F.R. Part 7 (PDF) (11 pp, 40 K), EPA-funded agencies are prohibited from taking acts, including permitting actions, that are intentionally discriminatory or have a discriminatory effect based on race, color, or national origin. Such actions are reviewed and investigated through the external compliance program.
The OCRUA provides leadership, direction, and guidance in carrying out the Agency's equal employment programs through promoting a work environment that is free of unlawful discrimination, sexual harassment and is accessible to individuals with disabilities; ensures fair and equitable treatment for all employees; values workforce diversity, and fosters mutual respect in an effort to achieve the mission of the Agency.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Soccer team gave up three first-half goals and couldn't rebound in the second half of a 4-0 Midwest Conference loss to St. Norbert College on Saturday at the Strong Complex Soccer Field.
The Green Knights struck two in the first 18 minutes for all the scoring they'd need. They added a third goal in the last five minutes of the half to lead 3-0 at the break. SNC closed out the scoring with a penalty kick score at the 59-minute mark of the second half.
St. Norbert held the shots advantage 14-5. Cheyenne Kern made three saves in relief of Willow Macy, who had two saves.
The Bucs are right back on the pitch on Sunday when they host Ripon College in a 1:00 p.m. match at Strong.

ALEXANDRIA BAY The sounds of electric guitars, drums and cheering crowds filled the air Saturday, as part of the 13th Annual Blues in the Bay Weekend.
From the village docks to Church Street, James Street was closed to automobiles for the festival, which attracted hundreds of people to downtown. Performances are held under a large tent.
Id definitely say its worth coming for one day, said Sarah L. Holbrook, who attended the event with daughter McKenzie M., 3. Its fun, and she likes it. Its kid-friendly.
Her husband, Randy J., took a chance at winning the raffle of a Fender guitar, which was donated by Dr. Guitar Music, Watertown. Tickets are $5 each, and the drawing will be held today.
While the Holbrooks came to the village via boat from their camp in Morristown, other couples traveled from throughout the state. Christine and John Ryan, Auburn, attended the blues festival because its a fun getaway, Mr. Ryan said. The couple has attended the event since 2007.
Its beautiful here, a great place to be and the people are friendly, Mrs. Ryan said.
Mark and Carla Hibbard, Corning, swayed to the music of Morris & the Hepcats, one of the weekends featured bands.
We go to different blues festivals, Mr. Hibbard said. For us, this is something we both started liking at the same time. We do love the music. Well probably come to this one next year. Its a good lineup.
Blues in the Bay began Thursday with a set performed by Bernie Clarke & the Rhythm Sharks, and the Ron Spencer Blues Band performed Friday. Saturdays other acts included Tom Townsley & the Backsliders and Los Blancos. The festival continues today with performances by String of Pearls and the Double Barrel Blues Band. Sunday nights headliner is the internationally acclaimed Kim Simmonds & Savoy Brown. Blues in the Bay concludes Monday with an all-star jam fest, hosted by the Double Barrel Blues Band.
The free event is sponsored by the Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce. For more information, people may visit the chambers website, www.visitalexbay.org.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything but I feel like you'll have problems finding the perfect name if you hold yourself to such tight rules. People have children in the same family with the same name so I don't see why you should count out names that have the same initial or sound just cause you have extended family with the same name.
And I don't think that once your beautiful baby is born you'll associate his name with anything but him so maybe cut some slack on the names of children you dislike. I think the the child grows into the name so as he grows into his name you just love him more and more and you'll therefore love his name more and more. Even if there was some sort of past minor association.
You have so many great name choices and a great style, I just don't think you could go wrong!My Favorites:
Colette Leona. Alice Evanna. Mabel Verity. Aurelia Esme. Rosalie Raine.
Jack Jeffrey. Carson Luke. Felix James. Leo Patrick. Axel White.

No, I don't think you are being rude. I probably really need to hear this advice. I was absolutely convinced that this was going to be a girl, and had "the" perfect name picked out for her. So when we were told that we were having another sweet boy, I did go into panic mode, thinking of how difficult it had been in the past to pick out a boy name. Maybe I just need to take a step back for a couple of days. Get some sleep, and come back with fresher eyes. Thank you everyone for the continued suggestions... I even got some more "fresh" choices that I hadn't considered before.

Poll Reveals Backing for Added Transportation Options for Region
El Paso County residents may have mixed feelings about how well the area is recovering from the recession, but a majority of respondents in a recent county-wide telephone poll agreed that public transportation plays an important role in the community.
Forty-four percent (44%)
favor adding more transportation options such as public transportation and bicycle lanes to deal with congestion, while only
thirty-five percent (35%)
of respondents said they favor adding
highway capacity. Sixty-one percent
agreed that transit should have dedicated funding. Yet, 59 percent
said they would be more likely to vote for transit funding if combined with some funding for roads. Most respondents strongly agreed that public transportation's most important role is providing mobility for those who have no other transportation options. About 75 percent
said transportation options are important to relieve traffic congestion, improve air quality, or reduce gas consumption.
The poll was conducted as part of The Future of Regional Transit Study
to develop a recommendation for a more solid regional decision-making and funding structure for regional transit. The federal grant used to fund this study can only be used for transit planning, not operations or other municipal public works needs.
The grant program helps communities prepare and position themselves to meet long-term demands. The study is nearing completion and citizen input is needed.

Clipper Locker Room Report
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 04/13/06, 07:50am:
Good people -- let it never be said that Clipperblog doesn't have its sources. Friend of Clipperblog, Luke, files this report from Staples:
So I happened to be inside the Clippers locker room last night after they beat the Trailblazers (I'm doing a little story about them for my day job). Anyway, standing around with these immensely tall, immensely naked dudes, I was struck by something...
The Clippers players like each other more than ANY members of any pro sports team I have ever seen. I mean, I was in the locker room with the Steelers after they won the Superbowl this year, and they didn't like each other this much.
I'm not saying this means the Clippers are going to the finals or anything... but it has to mean something.
Things that jumped out:
- Cuttino Mobley refuses to address Daniel Ewing by his real name... instead he calls him Patrick Ewing. All the time. This seems to crack Sam Cassell up.
- Ewing and Livingston are clearly the young kids of the team, cause they stick together and try to crack jokes about how old Cat and Cassell are. Livingston insists that Cassell has been shrinking over his 56 year career. Cassell has no discernable ego... this is a major departure from most NBA athletes. Also, unlike most NBA athletes I've been around, Cassell says 'excuse me' to reporters when he bumps into them on the way to the shower.
- Apparently deodorant is really pricey these days... because Ewing, Livingston, and Radmanovic were all sharing THE SAME can of spray. And weirdly enough it was a baby blue can of Sure. Isn't that for girls?
- If you think Chris Kaman looks goofy out on the court, wait'll you see him standing naked but for a tiny tiny towel. Even so, you get the idea that he'd be the first to point out how silly he looks.... and so it's okay. He and Cassell seem to really get along, constantly yelling stuff to each other across the locker room for no reason.
- Mike Dunleavy also says 'excuse me' to reporters, even when they are blocking the door to his office and really shouldn't be there.
- Vlad Radmanovic is a very stylish guy, but for some reason like to wear like these snakeskin dress-shoes that have heels. This makes him about 8'8 standing there. He's also very pleasant to be around.
- Say what you want about Vin Baker (and I have as a Sonic fan)... but the dude is trim. He lost like a whole Nate Robinson at some point. He attributes this to "chicken and fish man... chicken and fish... and don't eat big meals late at night". Words to live by.
Again, I can't overstate this... I have been around hundreds of pro athletes in my time as a reporter... and I'd say probably about 14 of them (total) seemed like remotely decent human beings... every single Clipper I spoke with or observed last night was nice, polite, jokey, posed for pictures with kids, signed autographs, said 'thank you' when people complimented them... They basically renewed my faith in pro athletes... A faith that will likely be dashed in a couple of weeks when I go to SF to do a story on Barry Bonds.

After reading this post, I was wondering why have I heard of people degassing wine, but never beer? Does one also need to degas mead?
Wine is degassed because it is served still. "Still" is a term that means not-carbonated.
Beer is carbonated, so there is no need to bother, since you are introducing CO2 to the beer anyway. Mind you, there are phases of beer production on certain styles where you are essentially degassing, (diacetyl rest) but that is for different reasons than why you degas wine.
As to mead, that depends. My mead is sparkling, so I don't bother degassing it. If your mead is going to be still, then you would need to degas it.
Hope that helps.
The purpose of degassing in wine or mead is to benefit the yeast. CO2 is toxic to yeast and inhibits the yeast's ability to fully ferment the larger amount of sugars in wine/mead.
Degassing mead is highly recommended during primary fermentation to help the yeast, even if you plan on making a sparkling mead.
I'm curious about whether beer would benefit from degassing, though I suspect that yeast can handle the levels of sugar typically found in beer without needing to have CO2 removed from beer.
I don't make wine, but my understanding is that the purpose of degassing is to release the remnant CO2 still in solution at the completion of fermentation. CO2, of course, is desirable in beer, so one wouldn't want to expel that after fermentation. It's the opposite with wine.

Attorney General Peter Kilmartin says he would favor confiscating guns from people who are the subject of domestic violence restraining orders as a "preventive measure" that could avoid situations like the one in Johnston last Sunday when a mother and her young daughter were murdered, her son abducted and then left to roam the streets of Providence and a second daughter was found unharmed inside the home.
"Obviously the whole situation is horrific," Kilmartin told The Times Wednesday, "innocent people dying and children being abandoned. It's about as bad as it can get."
Restraining orders in general serve two purposes, the attorney general said. "To hopefully protect the person seeking them and to put the person who is the subject of the restraining order that someone is definitely in fear, the courts have already taken notice, law enforcement will take notice and make what could be a more volatile situation decompress."
That, he says, ties in with the notion of seizing any firearms in the possession of the accused abuser, to bring the person to his or her senses and allow a cooling-off period. He added, however, that the gun in the Johnston murder was possessed illegally in the first place.
"There are a lot of purposes to restraining orders, but generally speaking the more we can do to, especially in domestic situations, remove people from potential harm, move objects like a gun, if there is a proclivity toward that, out of the situation.
"We may never know how many lives we save, but I think we would save lives," Kilmartin said.
"Our hearts go out to the family, friends and community of the two women and the three children who may have witnessed the tragedy," Deborah DeBare, executive director of the RI Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said in the wake of the incident. "We are very saddened today at the loss of the lives of Evelyn Burgos and her daughter, Vanessa Perez." Domestic violence all too often impacts families, friends and bystanders, and we must remember them in our response to and prevention of these cases. While the details of this particular case are still unfolding, we know that (suspect Daniel) Rodriguez has a lengthy criminal history that includes domestic violence incidents, and that Rodriguez and Burgos were involved in an ongoing domestic dispute, according to police."
"Given the police reports, it is clear that these murders did not come about suddenly or without warning; they were likely Rodriguez's final act of abuse. We must be sure to refer to this double murder as what it is: the final act of domestic violence, for murder is the ultimate expression of the abuser's need to control his partner's behavior."
Law enforcement officials say that once the restraining order was issued by the court, Rodriguez could not be located so it could be served to him.
He was not found until after the murders occurred. Noting that, "we must address the issue of firearms with regards to domestic violence perpetrators," DeBare said, "this year, Rhode Island legislature proposed, but was unable to pass, a bill that would have made it illegal for individuals such as Rodriguez who had been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor, to possess firearms. We hope when legislature returns they will be able to act on this important issue and help local police keep firearms out of the hands of convicted abusers."
Responding to that statement, Larry Berman, spokesman for House Speaker Gordon Fox, said in an email, "This legislation was part of the gun package that was introduced this year. While some of the bills received passage and were signed into law, there was no consensus reached among Assembly members on other bills, including this one. The Assembly will continue to work on gun issues in the next session."
A request to the Senate for a comment received no response. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said Wednesday, "When you've got somebody who is under a domestic violence restraining order, to me it is only logical to say they shouldn't be carrying a gun until the facts are sorted out and we can ensure they are not a danger to the person who was threatened and who the judge felt a need to protect.
"If someone is willing to take a gun and shoot someone who was their domestic partner and shoot other members of their family, it's not clear how much difference one piece of paper is going to make," the second term Democrat said. "Clearly, trying to keep guns out of their hands at a time like that would be valuable goal."
"It's a tragic story," Gov. Lincoln Chafee said. "We're just finding out the victim was fearful for her life. We have to have a better system.
These women know, they know intuitively, the danger they are in."
Asked if gun control laws would have saved the victim, Chafee said, "This is a huge debate, there has to be a better system, though."

The job of volunteers who maintain and have been making improvements at the Arsenal Street Cemetery soon will get a bit easier.
The Watertown City Council unanimously agreed Monday night to provide electrical power and water to the 6-acre cemetery.
Organizer Katherine T. Plante-Hunt had requested electricity be connected to nearby Sand Street, so an American flag could be lit up at night.
Ms. Plante-Hunt told council members the lit flag would honor the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War soldiers who are buried at the cemetery. Volunteers also hope to install lights at the kiosk and gazebo.
Ms. Plante-Hunt also had requested water to be used in maintaining the cemeterys gardens.
Over the years, volunteers have planted trees and flowers at the cemetery, Ms. Plante-Hunt said. She said she hopes to add a fountain, too.
In the past, the city Fire Department provided water via a tank truck, but it no longer can do that.
A small group of Jefferson County legislators showed up at the council meeting to support Ms. Plante-Hunt.
County Legislator Jennie M. Adsit said she has found it too difficult to lug gallons of water to her sisters grave at the cemetery.
City Council members thanked Ms. Plante-Hunt, her family and the volunteers for all they have accomplished since taking on the work in 2007.
Im surprised they were able to do it and the strides theyve made, Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns said.
On Wednesday, city officials were unable to say when the project could start or be completed.

The cheetah is the fastest land mammal on Earth, capable of
running 64 miles per hour. However, this cat cannot sustain
high speeds for long. Cheetahs typically run in short bursts covering distances
of up to 500 yards. Most chases last less than one minute, so the cheetah must quickly
catch its prey before it escapes.
Cheetahs are designed for speed. Their large nostrils allow
for increased intake of oxygen, and their oversized heart and lungs help power their bodies. The sleek cat uses
the weight of its tail to balance its body through sharp turns, and its spine
acts as a spring for the powerful hind legs.
While other big cats hunt at night, the cheetah often hunts
in the early morning and at dusk, suffocating its prey with a
bite to the neck or the nose. Cheetahs are vulnerable to larger predators, such as
spotted hyenas and lions, which can kill their cubs and steal their prey. Because of its small size, the
cheetah usually avoids fighting, and if confronted (even by just a single hyena), it will often
surrender a kill immediately rather than risk injury.
Cheetahs range widely and need large areas of
undisturbed land with sufficient wild prey to survive. Suitable habitats are becoming
increasingly scarce. Though these cats once occurred from South Africa across western Asia
to India, today, fewer than 15,000 survive in patches of habitat
in Africa. The centers of the cheetah's distribution are in southern and
eastern Africa. Of the five subspecies of cheetah recognized by scientists, the most critically
endangered remain in fragmented habitat in the western Sahara and in
Iran. These populations are thought to number between 60 and 100 respectively,
making them some of the most endangered cats on Earth.
Once hunted for the captive trade, the cheetah now suffers primarily from
loss of habitat and wild prey—including medium and small antelope such as gazelles,
springboks, and impalas, as well as wildebeest, zebras, and other animals. And while cheetahs are
considered important for ecotourism, where the cats live alongside
people, they can come into conflict with livestock and gamekeepers, who sometimes
kill them in retaliation for loss of livestock or game.
Young cheetahs are vulnerable in some parts of their range—predators
kill an estimated 90 percent of cubs. An illegal trade for cubs as pets or for
private collections also exists, although the magnitude of this trade is
unknown. The IUCN Red List labels cheetahs as a whole as Vulnerable. The
North African subspecies is considered Threatened and the Asiatic and northwestern Saharan
subspecies are listed as Critically Endangered.
WCS is working with three of the five cheetah subspecies. Since
the mid-1990s, we have supported studies of East African cheetahs in
Serengeti National Park, in coordination with the Zoological Society of
and Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute. This long-term project has
much of what scientists currently know about wild cheetahs. Researchers
are now expanding the cheetah-monitoring program in the Serengeti to
cover a larger
area of Tanzania.
A WCS-supported survey in the Sahara Desert captured the
first camera-trap photographs of the critically endangered Saharan cheetah in
Algeria. This study is part of the first systematic survey of this subspecies.
So far, the researchers have identified four Saharan cheetahs by using the cats' spot
patterns, which are unique to each individual. WCS has combined studies of the
Saharan subspecies' ecology with an in-depth survey of the relationship between
the cat and local Tuareg pastoralist communities. In addition, we are working with Algerian scientists to broaden the efforts to conserve this very rare cat.
In Iran, where many prey species have disappeared, just about 60 Asiatic cheetahs remain. To
promote their survival, an international team of scientists—led by WCS and the
Panthera Foundation—is working with Iran's Department of the Environment. The
researchers have radio-collared two male Asiatic cheetahs in the Bafgh Protected Area in the southwestern part of the central
Iranian plateau, marking the
first time these big cats have been tracked by conservationists.
Given the cheetah's need for large tracts of undisturbed land
with plenty of prey, scientists have spearheaded a continent-wide conservation
planning exercise. WCS brought together land managers and governments to prioritize
actions and funding strategies to protect the African subspecies. And together with the
Zoological Society of London, we are currently supporting the activities of cheetah
coordinators in southern and eastern Africa, helping them to implement a
range-wide recovery plan.
WCS recently celebrated a groundbreaking achievement: collaring snow leopards for the first time in Afghanistan. USA Today reports on this effort--documented by National Geographic--and the larger challenges facing big cats around the world.
WCS and partner organizations have issued a new report emphasizing paramount threats to wildlife in Southern Africa. Illegal hunting, the bushmeat trade, and unselective snaring are compromising already-fragile species.
The government of Tanzania plans to build a highway through Serengeti National Park, potentially disrupting one of the
world's biggest migrations of large mammals and jeopardizing a popular tourism destination. WCS and partners urge the country's officials to consider alternate routes.

Labor Day marks not just the end of summer, and a wonderful day for going to the beach, but the end of the minor league baseball regular season for the four full-season levels: AAA, AA, advanced-A and A. That leaves two Mets affiliates still playing baseball, the Brooklyn Cyclones and St. Lucie Mets.
The Brooklyn Cyclones are closing in on a wild-card berth, with a magic number of one to clinch a playoff spot with two games to play.
The St. Lucie Mets, who set a new franchise-high for wins in a season at 83-52, begin the best-of-three Division Series on the road in Jupiter Tuesday. The series shifts to St. Lucie for game two on Wednesday, and if necessary, game three on Thursday.
The AAA-Buffalo Bisons, AA-Binghamton Mets and A-Savannah Sand Gnats are done for the year.

Gee-Whiz Geoengineering
Scientists just love to think about this kind of stuff, and I'm no different.Harvard is hosting a small workshop on aerosol-based geoengineering, and I have to say I'm looking forward to it. It's like having a shiny new toy, and the chance that you might actually get to use it to play around with the real Earth and see what happens has a certain fatal attraction to it. Then, too, science thrives on a spirit of free inquiry, and it would be anathema to say that there are some things that just shouldn't be thought about (though there are certainly some things that, once thought about, shouldn't be built). But, there's a real danger of jumping the gun and giving the impression that we already know we have a way out if things get too bad. Ken Caldeira's Op-Ed is a case in point. "Which is the more environmentally sensitive thing to do: let the Greenland ice sheet collapse, or throw a little sulfate in the stratosphere?" is the way he frames the issue. To be sure, Ken only gets 400 words to make his case (which seems to be that the folks who work on this sort of stuff ought to get some more money), but those 400 words leave little room to explain the vast array of problems that need to be resolved before we can even begin to think of this as an out. Caldeira's Op-Ed makes it seem like a slam-dunk, needing maybe only a diversion of 1% of climate research funds in order to do the trick.
Here are a few of the problems that need to be worked out: There's the issue of the effect of the aerosols on stratospheric chemistry (think how unanticipated the chemistry of the Ozone Hole was), and the question of just where the aerosols would go once injected. There's the question of the effect of the aerosols as cloud-condensation nuclei if they work their way into the tropical upper troposphere — an increase in high cirrus clouds could well lead to warming. Then, there's the full range of possible effects on the atmospheric circulation. Held and collaborators (PNAS 2006) have implicated the joint effect of aerosols and greenhouse gases in the trend towards Sahel drought, and generally there are issues in what inhomogeneous aerosol forcing might do to things like the North Atlantic Oscillation. Also, a planet with a dim Sun and high CO2 is not the same thermodynamically as a planet with brighter Sun and lower CO2, because the reduced sunlight at the surface is not able to sustain as much evaporation, which has consequences for global rainfall. In a recent essay in Le Monde, Edouard Bard has pointed out additional problems with geoengineering.
In my mind, the most serious peril of sulfate geoengineering is one that stems from a problem that is not at all in dispute: the fact that the lifetime of CO2 in the atmosphere is centuries to millennia, whereas the lifetime of aerosols in the stratosphere is at best a few years. That means committing the future generations to continue the aerosol injection basically every year more or less forever. We're banking a lot on confidence in future stability and prosperity of the world here. A patrician in the glory days of the Roman Empire might well have expected the Pax Romana to go on forever, but really nobody expects a Dark Age.
One also has to wonder whether the international treaties and organizations needed to agree on and execute a geoengineering scheme are significantly easier to realize than the agreements needed to decarbonize the energy future, which would offer safer and more durable climate protection. And once you open the Pandora's box of geoengineered climate, what do you do if nations disagree about what kind of climate they want, or if some poor nation objects to suffering drought in order to cancel heat waves in Chicago? Great fodder for science fiction novels about climate wars, but I'd prefer not to have to think about it happening for real.
The problem is that geoengineering a sunshade is being sold as insurance long before anybody has any idea whether it would work and what the unintended consequences would be. It's not really insurance. It's more like building a lifeboat, but a lifeboat based on a design that has never been used before which has to work more or less perfectly the first time the panicked passengers are loaded into it. The problem is that by the time we know enough to have any confidence at all in this lifeboat, CO2 may have risen to the point where the lifeboat becomes not just a backup, but a necessity. Would diverting 1% of the world's climate research funds into this problem clarify the issues in time? I doubt it. Would devoting 10% a year to the problem be worth it? I doubt that, too, in comparison to more pressing research needs.

There's a nifty materiality to David Nielsen's text-based acrylic paintings. In pieces such as Lorca, the letters are raised in relief against the picture plane, while in others, words are layered manically atop one another to the point of illegibility. Most relate tragicomic or bittersweet personal narratives with droll humor. With their fetishization of alphanumeric characters, these pieces share a lineage with military stencils (think M*A*S*H) and ransom notes. If you're not interested in the text's content, chances are you'll be taken in by the handling of materials, and vice versa. Nielsen is a relatively new arrival on the Portland art scene, but he has a cool bag of tricks. It will be interesting to see how he evolves this conceit in future shows. Through April 2.

The Austrian capital is full of the expected Mozart, Baroque palaces, sachertorte and schnitzel, but far from being a dusty old grand dame, Vienna is busy reinventing itself as a youthful and dynamic 21st-century city. It remains one of the most architecturally impressive and beautiful of cities – the five-kilometer Ringstrasse, home of the opera house, town hall and parliament, is possibly the most magnificent avenue in Europe. But beyond all the pomp, there's a more playful and relaxed side.Take the Museums Quartier, where a former stables dating from 1725 is now the centre of a vibrant cultural complex of exhibition and performance spaces, with a plaza that's busy at weekends with families lounging on colourful 'beds' while enjoying the DJs and open-air dining.It's also a city of parks – green space makes up over half of Vienna. There are city centre parks, such as the Burggarten, with its 1901 palm house that is now an excellently atmospheric restaurant, and the vast expanses that surround the inner city, like the Prater, a former royal hunting ground that covers 60 square kilometers, and has pools, beer gardens, boating on the Danube and a fun fair with the giant ferris wheel that features in The Third Man. A little further afield, the Tiergarten is one of the most distinctive zoos in the world, as well as the world's oldest, built all the way back in the 18th century for the imperial family. Vienna also excels at the quirky. Reopened in 2013 after almost a decade closed, is the Kunstkammer (Chamber of Wonders) at the colossal Kunsthistorisches Museum where, alongside oddities such as ostrich egg trophies, you'll find Benvenuto Cellini's 16th-century Saliera, an exquisite salt cellar hand-crafted from rolled gold. This joins the disturbing KriminalMuseum, which presents a lurid crawl through the city's more macabre past, the Pathology Museum, which is a medical house of horrors in a tower of the University campus, and there's even a small museum devoted to snow globes.

MASSENA — The North Country Veterans' Clinic received a "clean bill of health" this week during a review that was prompted by concerns about delayed care brought to light at a Veterans Affairs hospital in Arizona, according to a regional VA manager.
"All things factored in, we're looking very good. We got a clean bill of health," Richard G. Kazel, medical/surgical VA care line manager at the Syracuse VA Medical Center, told members of the North Country Veterans' Clinic Advisory Committee on Tuesday.
The clinic at Massena Memorial Hospital is among several outpatient veterans' facilities in the north country that are undergoing review as part of the national reaction to the scandal in Phoenix, which involved employees conspiring to hide monthslong wait times that veterans faced when seeking care.
An audit showed that documented waiting times appeared to have been manipulated at several facilities. The problem led to the resignation Friday of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki.
Mr. Kazel said that in Phoenix, concerns came "from a physician upon his retirement." The falsification of a waiting list affected approximately 1,700 veterans, he said.
"The word was they were gaming the system" by keeping two separate sets of books, which prompted a further investigation, Mr. Kazel said.
Since then, he said, reviews are being conducted by VA officials from Washington, D.C., at facilities throughout the United States. He said there are 152 VA Medical Centers, as well as more than 820 community-based outpatient clinics, including the ones in Massena, Watertown, Malone and Oswego.
"The last two weeks there's been an increased amount of activity. They put together teams of people real quick to do assessment, a quick, quick picture of how bad it was. These were people right out of Central Office" in Washington, he said.
Medical centers were the first group to take part in the assessment, followed by the clinics. The North Country Veterans' Clinic was reviewed Monday, and the Malone clinic was being reviewed Tuesday.
Mr. Kazel said there were "no issues, no concerns" during the visits.
"All the questions they were asking were very straightforward. They looked at our scheduling practices to make sure we were following the right protocol and spoke with staff," said Zachary K. Chapman, Massena Memorial Hospital senior director of practice management.
"The survey went very well. They were impressed with the fact that we could see walk-in patients," said Mark. P. Brouillette, Massena Memorial senior director of ancillary and support services.
Mr. Kazel said he believed the success of Massena's clinic was because of community involvement.
The North County Veterans' Clinic advisory board, for instance, meets every few months to discuss the latest news and issues. Mr. Kazel also noted that during his visit to the clinic Tuesday morning, a community member was arranging a wheelchair donation from the Eastern Star.
"I think that's really what it is, the grass-roots stuff," he said.
"Most important is the veterans getting their care and feedback" on how the clinic is doing in terms of service, he said.
Unfortunately, he said, not every VA medical center or clinic is providing the same level of service as the Massena facility.
"The issues at the VA are many. I think over the last couple of years I've seen some issues in the VA that were very disturbing," Mr. Kazel said.
In Dayton, Ohio, for example, he said, there was an issue with sterilization of equipment.
A clinic in Pittsburgh had a similar problem, leading to the death of five veterans, with another 17 getting seriously ill, he said.
That prompted a congressional hearing that was held in Pittsburgh.
Among the current issues is the wait for a decision on claims filed by veterans.
"It's the claims and the actual processing time that's the problem. It used to be 155 days," he said.
Part of the problem, he said, is the use of paper files, which slows down the process.
"It's a complicated, cumbersome process. They've made marked improvement. The days waiting are going down," Mr. Kazel said.
But the damage had been done, he said.
"Add all this together and it created an aura of the VA not getting it done," he said. "I think it's very tumultuous right now."
In the north country, however, "we don't have any real problems," Mr. Kazel said. "We have mechanisms in place."
Among them is the relatively new Patient Center Community Care program, which provides coordinated care for veterans who are not going to be seen at a VA facility, but instead in a community facility. He said efforts are continuing to get providers in place.
"It's important that veterans who are receiving their care have confidence in the system," he said.

CANTON - St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve, who is seeking a third term in office, received support from fellow Democrats at the county Democratic Committees fall dinner on Friday evening and touted her record as testimony to her job performance.
North County Regional Representative for the Department of Labor June F. ONeill said Mrs. Duves eight years on the job have proved her a hard worker and passionate advocate for justice.
Being district attorney is a tough job, Mrs. ONeill said. People dont understand what the D.A. is and what the D.A. does and what the D.A. can do and what the D.A. cant do.
Mrs. Duve is facing a challenge for the seat this year by Republican candidate Mary E. Rain.
A lifelong resident of the north country, Mrs. Duve said her upbringing in a family of modest means instilled in her a strong work ethic as she began working at a young age.
I worked my way through SUNY Potsdam and Albany Law School and after law school I came back to St. Lawrence County because this is where I chose to make my home with my husband Bill, she said. This is where weve chosen to raise our three children.
Mrs. Duve pointed to her two-decades of legal experience in criminal law and her designation as a special assistant U.S. attorney which has seen her working closely with the U.S. attorneys office prosecuting cross-border crimes and focusing on the regions drug problems.
What matters most is outcomes, she said. To that end I want to highlight one statistic. According to the state Division of Criminal Justice Service, based on the uniform crime reports of indexed crime – and these are the statistics that the F.B.I. uses to calculate crime rates across the country – the number of violent crimes reported to the police in this county has dropped 42 percent from 2008 to 2012. Thats an amazing statistic.
I dont say this to suggest that we dont need to be vigilant for there are pockets in the county where outside influences have torn at the sense of safety that folks in the north country have become accustomed to, Mrs. Duve cautioned. But what youve seen is, by working together we have, we can and we will rise to the occasion and address the challenges that those outside influences present.
Addressing the campaign Mrs. Duve said she has worked hard to stay out of the political fray up until now.
For most of this year Ive remained focused on the day-to-day duties of my office and delayed for as long as possible any sort of engagement in the partisan politics, she said. It hasnt been easy.
During that time Ive been subjected to a steady drum beat of inaccurate and politically motivated charges by my opponent. Thus far Ive held my tongue. Thus far I havent engaged in a conversation about our respective work ethics or anyones tenure as public defender. Thus far I havent engaged in a conversation about dragging victims or their families into the middle of a political campaign. And thus far I havent engaged in a conversation about temperament, Mrs. Duve told the assembled Democrats.
But let me tell you this: entrusting an individual with the substantial investigative powers of the district attorneys office, including subpoena power, is an incredibly serious matter, Mrs. Duve said. Folks, in short, temperament matters in this job.
Mrs. ONeill said, Weve got to keep [Mrs. Duve] in there for a lot of reasons, not because shes the best person for the job but because the alternative is simply unacceptable. Nicole wont say anything about that because she is an outstanding person who believes in the law and believes in justice. So part of our job is to explain to people why [Mrs. Rain] is simply unacceptable.

NV Corbett Canyon Pinot Noir
I picked this up at Kirby Wines & Liquors for one peculiar reason. While chatting with manager Angela Moon one day, we were discussing odd wine regions. We pointed out some Austrian and Israeli selections, but I found myself itching for something more exotic. She said the Corbett Canyon Pinot Noir was from Macedonia. Surely not, I thought. American box wine? That's all inexpensive California plonk, right? She fetched a box and showed me the small type on the back.
Well I'll be damned.
Macedonia is a confusing topic. It's an ancient region of Greece, but here we're talking about the bordering nation that became independent in 1991 as Yugoslavia fell apart. The country uses the Cyrillic rather than Greek alphabet, so the native name is Македонија. There are also (at least) three different pronunciations:
Slavic-derived Macedonian: mack-a-DOH-nee-ah
Greek: mack-a-doh-NEE-ah (spelled Μακεδονία)
English: mass-a-DOH-nee-ah
I was going to write a bit about my old philosophy professor who insisted on proper ancient Greek pronunciation for place names, but looking back over what I just typed I realize this emphasis on accent and consonants is just like Hermione needling Ron and Harry about wizard spells.
So how is it? Kind of buttery, light cherry, practically nonexistent tannins. Needs more acidity, more oomph, more character... It's frankly just manufactured and drinkable, but not memorable. But I've got to be honest: I wouldn't mind serving this at a big party full of people that aren't serious wine drinkers. It's a very mild and approachable red wine and while part of me wonders if it's really Pinot Noir, it's an easy drinking light red. Keep it chilled before drinking and after opening; even though the plastic bag keeps most of the air out, after a few days at room temperature it develops a harsher aroma and flavor.
I don't think I'll be buying this again, but I'm glad I tried it, and if someone asks me for a boxed wine recommendation at the $10 mark I'll probably suggest it. And you fellow wine geeks out there, racking up obscure grapes and regions with all the fervor of an adolescent stamp collector (hey, I still get excited about stamps), consider trying this wine to include Macedonia on your list. It's not bad, and I'm interested in seeing what else they have to offer.

sounds like what the British call "plonk." and it pays to read labels.

I'm just curious about the sequence of events that led to choosing Macedonia for the source of wine, given the availability of cheap grapes in California.
More on odd labeling coming up on Friday...

I hear that in Macedonia, Gamay is pronounced Pinot Noir...
- 05 May, 2010 05:20
- Benito said...
I have no idea on what the percentage laws are for the region in terms of how much Pinot Noir is required to label it as such... Given the name confusion with the Greek region and the battle over who truly owns the name Macedonia, it's tricky to research.
This could just as well pass for Gamay. It's so one dimensional that you can't tell a lot about it from a swirl and sniff. Most really cheap reds are very tannic and sour, and this one is at least easy drinking.

I'm new to the site and I'm really liking your posts so far. This was a cool one. I'm always curious about (but also a little afraid of) boxed wines, so I like it when someone actually takes the time to review them. You never know what you'll find. I've heard about Macdeonian wine but never had the chance to try one yet. Interesting post, I'm looking forward to reading more in the future.

Glad to have you here, and I don't have many reviews on boxed wines. I am curious about alternative packaging, though, and my favorite so far is the Tetra Pak.
There are some wines that ship in both bottles and boxes, like Cline Red Truck or Big House Red.

ΒΕΝΙΤΟ (you know, your name spelled in Greek letters doesn't do anything exotic),
We actually have an importer of Macedonian wines in Atlanta. Most of his stuff comes from the Tikves region, and they've been doing it for a long time.
I've actually had some pretty decent Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay (actually, really good Chardonnay), and a local red grape called Vranec from the producer Bovin.
Nothing exceptionally complicated, but definitely good values for $13 or so retail. Maybe they'll make it up to Memphis someday (gotta call my buddy at Athens distributing...)

ΒΕΝΙΤΟ (you know, your name spelled in Greek letters doesn't do anything exotic)
Let's see... Accent over the iota, go old school and end with an omega... "Βενίτω". :)
Those wines sound interesting, and I promise one of these days I'll give the region a more proper tasting. Eastern European wines are a hard sell around here--we've got no substantial immigrant population from those countries, and from talking to retailers it's tough enough moving South African wines.
I've got an example of labeling in tonight's post I think you'll particularly enjoy.

CANTON - When it comes to the future of Canton Central School District, Superintendent William A. Gregory isnt mincing his words.
A 40-page powerpoint presentation he released last week is titled, Canton Central School: On the Verge of Fiscal and Educational Insolvency.
The grim report highlights the tough choices the district may face unless more revenue from the state comes in next school year.
A preliminary $24,514,123 budget crafted by Mr. Gregory for 2013-14 projects a $2.72 million budget gap.
Cutting non-mandated classes, sports and other activities are possibilities, the superintendent said.
Absent significant additional revenue, we would be forced to make crippling cuts to programs and staff rendering us non-mission capable, Mr. Gregory states in his presentation.
The at-risk list ranges from art and music to the agriculture program. Bumping up class sizes to 30 to 40 students in all school buildings is another outcome under the worst-case scenario.
Mr. Gregory has estimated $1,247,900 for known cost hikes. Projections include $845,700 more for employee retirement and health insurance, $215,900 for contractual salary increases, $88,800 for services provided by the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and a $97,500 increase in debt service for the ongoing building project and bus purchases.
Increases are also likely in special education, transportation and energy, he said.
Over the past two years, the district has cut 42 faculty and staff positions and eliminated 38 classes from its curriculum. Also, four sports teams and two musical productions have been cut, one at the middle school and one at the high school.
Mr. Gregory identified four options for school districts faced with fiscal insolvency. He noted that state legislation and intervention is required for most of the existing choices.
Options include the following:
■ Deficit financing which allows schools to borrow for ongoing operational expenses.
■ Advance in state aid payments from future years.
■ Bailoutin the form of extra state aid in the current year to meet operational expenses.
■ Take over of the school district by the state education department
Mr. Gregorys presentation can be accessed on the school districts website: ccsdk12.org.

Wholly desirable and unquestionably chic, Chanel is the rare fashion company that manages to look to the past and future simultaneously. Each season we see the ways in which Coco's illustrious staples-like her signature camellias, ropes of pearls, and love of tweeds-are referenced in new and fantastic ways. For example, this fall, creative director Karl Lagerfeld showed the Chanel collection with footwear that bears some of the house's hallmarks: quilting and cap-toe details.
While difficult to show here, the multi-buckle, multi-strap heels have a faint gold quilting detail on the inside of the shoe. They start at about $750 and can run up to $1225 for the satin-and-strass pumps (800.550.0005 for stockists), while the cap-toe boots start at upwards of $2000. But if these price tags make you blanche, or if you just don't have the time and energy to track these desired kicks down, you can still get the look!
Steve Madden and Office Shoes have options that bear an uncanny resemblance to the Chanel shoes (and, naturally, at a fraction of the price). We found the Brit Boot by Steve Madden ($149.95) in either black/gold or white/black combinations is a very "Inspired By" choice, while UK company Office Shoes make a heel called the Rudey 3 Buckle ($126) in black patent leather that also achieves the same Chanel feeling as the mutli-strap-and-buckle heels we saw on the runway. -Allison Wood

Great Gift for People on the Go
By SFRunner
from San Francisco, CA
I received these laces as a gift and it was one of my favorite. My feet have never felt more comfortable. I am a runner and I no longer get a knot blister from my laces. Tip: Don't overtighten when you first lace them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

They really work!
By Jump Shot
from Orange County, CA
I'm a weekend warrior on the basketball court and hate calling time out to tie my shoes - now I don't have to anymore with the Wonder Laces. I was concerned about the support in my basketball - high ankle shoes but it's still there and the elastic allows me to put them on so much faster. Why didn't I think of this?

I was skeptical but they really work
By Coach Alan
from Los Angeles, CA
I put these on my favorite NIKE shoes. What a difference. They are make my feet feel so much more comfortable. Before I used to get a sore spot on the top of my foot where I tie the knot but with these laces my sore foot problem went away. I am a softball coach and will suggest all the parents order them for my players.

They just work...
By Laguna Kahuna
from Laguna Beach, CA
"Why didn't I think of that". After dealing with untied soccer laces and little league cleats for years, someone has finally come up with a solution that looks like a normal lace, but actually stays snug for the whole game.

Bought these for my mother
By Audrey
from Concord, Michigan
My mother has arthritis and has difficulty tying shoelaces, but she loves to wear sneakers. A friend recommended these laces and I put them on my mom's shoes and she hasn't had to retie her shoes yet!!! What a simple, great idea!

Best Shoelaces Ever
By IronJoe
from Glenns Falls, New York
These laces are so much better than anything else I've tried. I'm a competitive runner and triathlete and these laces actually contribute to my performance. They are way more comfortable because they flex with my feet and as a triathlete they allow for quick change without any hassel. LOVE THEM!
