A lot of people posting here still seem to be using the mysql extension instead of mysqli or PDO. Here are some things you should know about doing this.
First, a quote from the PHP.net pages:
'There are three MySQL extensions, as described under the Choosing a MySQL API section. The old API should not be used, and one day it will be deprecated and eventually removed from PHP. It is a popular extension so this will be a slow process, but you are strongly encouraged to write all new code with either mysqli or PDO_MySQL.'
1. Mysql will eventually be removed from PHP
2. Mysql does not support prepared statements, a great way of saving time
3. Mysql does not support transactions at all
4. PDO has built-in SQL injection protection
5. I believe that parametrized queries (another security feature) are only supported in PDO
Personally, when writing quick code I prefer to use mysqli as I find it a little more intuitive. When I'm writing anything that I think has any potential.
I hope this proves useful for people, especially those just starting out writing code for working with MYSQL databases. Switch to mysqli or PDO now and you'll save yourself a lot of hassle later on!

POTSDAM An attempt to mediate a dispute between the village and the developer of a water tower off Route 56 has failed, according to a document filed Tuesday in federal court.
Jeda Capital-56 LLC, Skaneateles, which erected the tower in 2009 as part of its development of a Lowes Home Improvement Center, filed action in May 2011 in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, claiming it was owed $500,000 in unpaid rent and changes to a lease agreement.
The development company is asking that it either be paid the money allegedly due or be fully compensated for the $1.83 million appraised value of the property where the 300,000-gallon tower stands. The village, which now owns the tower, denied the allegations and filed a motion in September 2011 to have the case dismissed. A judge denied the motion in September.
In October, U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter set a March 1 deadline for mediation to be completed, although he later amended the deadline to March 31. According to a joint report of mediation filed with the court, a mediation hearing was held March 28 in Syracuse with Syracuse attorney James E. Hughes acting as mediator, but the efforts were unsuccessful.
The parties were unable to reach a resolution or settlement of this action at this mediation, according to the report signed by Timothy J. Higgins, Malta, an attorney representing the village, and Kevin M. Mendillo, Auburn, an attorney for Jeda Capital.
Mr. Higgins said Wednesday that the parties will now continue discovery, sharing information and potential witnesses in preparation for a trial, although no trial date has been set. Mr. Higgins declined to specify particular issues that caused the mediation to end unsuccessfully, but said, on the villages end, there is still room for negotiations that could result in a resolution of the case without need for a trial.
There is always a possibility that this claim can get resolved before it goes before a jury, he said. Certainly, from our perspective, that door is not closed.
Jeda Capital initially proposed a smaller tower to meet fire protection needs for Lowes, but the village asked for a larger tower to accommodate additional village purposes. The village agreed to pay the $825,000 difference between the cost of the smaller tower and the tower with the capacity it sought. The company built the larger tower using an $825,000 loan through Community Bank N.A. as part of a deal that called for the village to lease the tower for about $9,400 per month for the first 10 years and $1,000 a month for the next 10 years.
The village contended that there was an elevation problem with the tower and that Jeda Capital never provided documents required under a project completion agreement before the village would make any payments. Jeda Capital claimed it executed the project completion agreement in August 2009 and agreed to perform additional work because it was under duress, as the village was holding up the opening of Lowes by refusing to issue a certificate of occupancy. The store opened in December 2009.
The village claims its actions did not amount to duress. It claims it was legally justified in withholding the certificate of occupancy until the Lowes building was in compliance with building codes and it could be demonstrated that there was sufficient water supply for fire protection. The village said the delay amounted to nothing more than an inconvenience to Lowes and did not constitute duress for Jeda Capital.
The village took title to the tower in December 2011 after Community Bank foreclosed on the site and sold it at public auction. The village will pay about $700,000 over the next 20 years for the property.

CSU Performing Arts Centers Usher in Talent
August 30, 2012
By Stephanie Thara
September marks the start of a new performing arts season at CSU campuses filled with orchestra phenoms, hilarious satires, unrestrained dance recitals and live concerts. The Richard and Karen Carpenter Performing Arts Center at CSU Long Beach and CSU Northridge's Valley Performing Arts Center (VPAC) serve as prime sources of arts and culture for the campus and local community.
"We host everyone from resident musical theatre companies to cultural organizations on campus," said Michele Roberge, executive director of CSULB's Carpenter Center. "We like to say that we provide a gateway between the campus and greater Long Beach community."
Built in 1994, the Carpenter Center holds more than 200 events throughout the year and has served as the stage for the Los Angeles Opera, Shirley MacLaine, Leonard Nimoy, Paul Oakenfold and Clint Back. Located slightly north of Long Beach, CSUN's VPAC has shined the spotlight on performers such as Kenny Rogers, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Ramsey Lewis and the Russian National Ballet Theatre.
Fitted with sound absorptive wool serge fabric, adjustable ceiling panels to enhance music quality, and 34,000 square feet of mesh panels used for variable sound purposes, the VPAC boasts acoustical excellence that rivals any venue in Southern California.
"Every acoustical aspect has been well thought out," said Therri Donnelly, community outreach associate for VPAC. "The Center has four levels, and when someone whispers on the stage, you can actually hear them on the highest level of the balcony."
Whenever possible, CSULB and CSUN students have the opportunity to participate in world premiere performances hosted by the Centers, work directly with the artists and gain experience from theater management. For example, CSULB students assist artists in reaching out to Long Beach youth through Classroom Connections. The program brings professional performing artists into local elementary classrooms, where the artists build relationships with children by sharing stories about their performances and explaining the importance of art. The children are then invited to the Carpenter Center to see these artists perform live on stage.
The Centers work with various departments on campus to help further enrich the curriculum and broaden students' educational opportunities. In addition to helping the theater and music department showcase their talent to the community, VPAC houses an art gallery where students can display their work. The gallery rotates every six weeks, giving students and patrons a chance to admire a variety of visual arts pieces while waiting to experience the dynamic shows that brought them into the performing arts centers.

Sorry to see the old rock Bruno house in Helper demolished as the state gets ready to put in the Helper interchange. My grandfather, Luigi Borla, who was a rock mason by trade, did the rock work on the house. He also did the rock work on the Spring Canyon houses. The house was built from rock from the nearby mountains and chiseled by hand. The door on the west side of the house was so those that worked on the house could have a place to stay.
Jim Bruno came from a village in Italy about three miles west of the village up in the Alps, Noli, where my father was born. My father's family was from Usseglio, Italy, up in the Alps, the last town before you enter France. Both of his grandmothers were from Lyon, France. He always said they brought them from France and turned them into Italians. During the winter his family lived in Noli, a town further down the Alps, where he was from near the Bruno village. There was too much snow to stay in Usseglio during the winter.
At the age of nine, my father started going into Germany with his father doing rock work. His job was to carry the bucket of cement. The weight of the buckets caused his fingers to he permanently bent. He could not fatten his fingers.
Jim Bruno was probably my father's best friend especially since he came from the same area in Italy as my father's family. At one time anyone from the same area was welcomed in this country by fellow countrymen with open arms like family.
Helper now has three historic rock homes, the Biscardi houses, Limone house, and what is left of the Gigliotti building in Martin. It took 20 years to build that house. He hauled the rock from the nearby mountains. Now only the walls remain. Someone burned the building several years ago.
Several of us on the first museum board thought the Gigliotti building would make a nice home for the museum since it was on the Highway 6 with easy on and easy off access. It was also very visible from the highway to attract tourists.
Bryon Matsuda has never been mentioned in connection with the museum as it is today. It was he that moved the museum from the auditorium to the present site. And then Frances Cunningham was very instrumental in developing the present museum.
Let's hope the last historic homes are safe from the state demolishing crews.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Artists help maintain and develop the cultural life of a society by means of their unique expression of the basic truths of existence. The experience and practice of visual art creates an awareness of these basic truths, and especially of the imaginal and creative aspects of life, which is vital in the formation of the complete human being. The art program therefore seeks to develop the critical aesthetic faculties within the student and to nurture that knowing and judging capacity of the human spirit. Students from other academic disciplines gain breadth and insight from courses in studio art and art history, which share common ground with the other humanistic disciplines and creative arts, and which complement the sciences.

Click this link for the latest CBS renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts potential renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2013-14 season in May, 2014. (includes results from September 16-November 10, 2013):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Blue Bloods (F)
|The Mentalist
|Hawaii Five-0 (F)
|The Good Wife
|We Are Men*
|Person Of Interest
|Two And A Half Men
|The Crazy Ones
|2 Broke Girls
|Mike & Molly
|Criminal Minds
|NCIS: Los Angeles
|The Millers
|How I Met Your Mother
|final season
|The Big Bang Theory
Because the cancellation of veteran CBS shows is heavily influenced by non-public economics like syndication deals (for shows produced by CBS) and license fees (for shows produced by others) it's not nearly so cut and dried as the cancellation bear's predictions for CBS rookie shows, where current ratings overwhelm other possible factors.
Besides Hostages, CBS is almost certain to cancel at least one more drama this season to make room for new dramas next season, and that drama will be a veteran. (If this spring's Intelligence happens to get renewed, that might mean yet another drama needs to go, but the bear will leave that until much later).
Because of those non-public factors, and the fact that the relative ratings between The Good Wife and The Mentalist are not likely to tip the scale heavily towards one or the other before the end of the season the bear is unlikely to have much more information in May about those two show's prospect than he does today.
When pushed at the end of the season (by himself) to predict up or down, the bear will take the fact that because The Mentalist is produced by Warner Brothers, it is more likely to meet its end this season than The Good Wife, which is produced by CBS, so he might as well make the prediction today. And he has.
If more dramas need to be canceled to fit CBS's scheduling needs next Fall, The Good Wife is likely to be next (vs. one of the Friday dramas), but that's a topic for another (probably many other) posts.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. You can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2014
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2014
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2014
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2014
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2014
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

"Utah will no longer need to use its Medicaid systems to pay for Medicare drug coverage, a testament to the partnership between the state and the federal government during the first weeks of the new drug coverage," said Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt.
"Governor Huntsman and Utah Medicaid officials worked closely with us to make sure the transition to Medicare drug coverage went as smooth as possible, and this partnership has helped Medicare beneficiaries get their coverage more quickly," Secretary Leavitt said.
"States such as Utah that took steps with Medicare and pharmacists to use Medicare's billing systems whenever possible ended up with few or no claims, and their beneficiaries are now using Medicare coverage," said Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mark B. McClellan.
Utah and 44 other states, plus the District of Columbia, were participating in the demonstration program designed to limit costs for Medicare beneficiaries who are also in Medicaid.
Under the program, Medicare will reimburse states by reconciling drug payments with prescription drug plans, and by paying any differential between the drug plan reimbursement and Medicaid costs, as well as state administrative costs.
The program also includes "best practices" for states to help their pharmacists and beneficiaries avoid the need for state billing, by using Medicare systems effectively and resolving cases in a timely way.
Many of the states approved for the demonstration have either none or very few claims. Other states with significant Medicare populations - South Carolina, Michigan and Iowa - never applied for the demonstration project at all.
As of March 15, because of individual circumstances unique to them, 12 states will continue to use their systems in limited circumstances for up to several more weeks. Many of these states have already substantially reduced their use of their state claims systems.
The states continuing in the program are: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Medicare will continue to pay administrative costs for a short period of time for other states in the program, including the District of Columbia.

Cameron Allen hit his first collegiate home run on Friday night in the same place he blasted his first high school home run.
The Sackets Harbor native launched a two-run shot to left field in the fifth inning, then drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh to lead the Watertown Rams to a 12-7 victory over the Mohawk Valley Diamond Dawgs on the annual Fourth of July fireworks night at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
The Rams (13-11) have won eight of their last nine games and possess a two-game lead over Utica and Elmira for first place in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball Leagues West Division.
I honestly kind of blacked out a little bit. I didnt even know what was going on, Allen said of the home run.
I had one here in my first game of my freshman year (in high school) and probably hit three or four after that, he added. But that first one was the best because it was to opposite field. Ive had a few here but not too many.
Fridays game was Allens fourth start of the season for the Rams. He had just three hits on the season entering the game. He finished 3-for-5 with the home run, two singles and three RBIs.
Allen didnt start any games but appeared in nine as a freshman at Division III St. John Fisher this spring. He didnt record a hit in just six at-bats, playing behind two seniors and a junior in the outfield.
Allen said that he is starting to feel more natural, getting more at-bats as the season progresses.
Its such a relief being able to come home to play because were at school however many months of the year, and if you want to go play summer ball, youre away from home for probably 10 or 11 months out of the year, Allen said. So its nice to be able to come back here, kick back a little bit, see my friends and stuff and play the hell out of baseball.
Rams manager Paul Alteri said that Allen has been a welcomed presence.
In my opinion its all about making sure we take care of our local guys as much as we can, Alteri said. And Cams been patient. He hasnt been playing a lot lately, once in a while well give him a spot start here and there. But little by little, hes getting it. Hes playing well right now and I hope hes having a good time. I know hes learning a lot and Im glad hes on the roster.
Allens homer was the exclamation point on a big fifth inning for the Rams.
Catcher Collin Theroux blasted a three-run home run earlier in the inning and J.J. Wagner singled in a run. Watertown scored a total of six runs on five hits in the frame, which ended with the Rams leading 6-2.
After Mohawk Valleys Jordan Friend hit a bases-clearing double in the seventh to tie the game at 6-6, the Rams responded by scoring five runs in the bottom half of the inning.
Allens single to right field put the Rams up 7-6. Trevor Marino provided an RBI double and the Rams tacked on runs via a bases loaded walk and an error.
Whats really impressive is when they came back and put up a four spot, in the bottom of that inning we put five up, Alteri said. So that was really impressive. These guys just dont quit, its not in our character.
Dale Irving went 4-for-5 and Brad Rush, Allens teammate at Fisher, finished 3-for-5 with a double for Watertown.
The Rams will play a doubleheader at Elmira at 6:05 tonight before returning home for a 5 p.m. game against Amsterdam on Sunday.

Francis Butler's Texas Tamale-Stuffed Turkey
- 4 shallots, peeled
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 jalapeño chiles, stemmed and seeded
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces and chilled
- 30 medium pork, chicken, or chile tamales , husks removed and discarded
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- One 8- to 10-pound whole turkey, giblets removed
1. Place an oven rack in the lower-center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Set a large V-shaped roasting rack inside a shallow roasting pan.
2. Pulse the shallots, garlic, chiles, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With the food processor running, add the butter, one piece at time, and process until a paste forms.
3. In a large bowl, crumble the tamales and using a fork, stir in the corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pat the turkey dry. Using metal skewers or toothpicks, secure the neck skin to the back of the turkey, then tuck the turkey's wings behind its back.
5. Stuff the tamale mixture into the turkey's cavity and tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Place the turkey in the prepared rack, breast up, and rub with the butter mixture. Cover the turkey loosely with foil and roast for 1 hour, basting with pan drippings every 20 minutes.
6. Uncover and roast for 30 to 45 minutes, until the skin is well browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F in the thighs and drumsticks and 165°F in the breast and stuffing.
7. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter or carving board and let rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
8. Carve the turkey and serve with the tamale stuffing.

1776by David McCullough
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this stirring book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence — when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.
Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King's men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.
Here also is the Revolution as experienced by American Loyalists, Hessian mercenaries, politicians, preachers, traitors, spies, men and women of all kinds caught in the paths of war.
At the center of the drama, with Washington, are two young American patriots, who, at first, knew no more of war than what they had read in books — Nathanael Greene, a Quaker who was made a general at thirty-three, and Henry Knox, a twenty-five-year-old bookseller who had the preposterous idea of hauling the guns of Fort Ticonderoga overland to Boston in the dead of winter.
But it is the American commander-in-chief who stands foremost — Washington, who had never before led an army in battle.
The book begins in London on October 26, 1775, when His Majesty King George III went before Parliament to declare America in rebellion and to affirm his resolve to crush it. From there the story moves to the Siege of Boston and its astonishing outcome, then to New York, where British ships and British troops appear in numbers never imagined and the newly proclaimed Continental Army confronts the enemy for the first time. David McCullough's vivid rendering of the Battle of Brooklyn and the daring American escape that followed is a part of the book few readers will ever forget.
As the crucial weeks pass, defeat follows defeat, and in the long retreat across New Jersey, all hope seems gone, until Washington launches the "brilliant stroke" that will change history.
The darkest hours of that tumultuous year were as dark as any Americans have known. Especially in our own tumultuous time, 1776 is powerful testimony to how much is owed to a rare few in that brave founding epoch, and what a miracle it was that things turned out as they did.
Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough's 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.
"Bestselling historian and two-time Pulitzer winner McCullough follows up John Adams by staying with America's founding, focusing on a year rather than an individual: a momentous 12 months in the fight for independence. How did a group of ragtag farmers defeat the world's greatest empire? As McCullough vividly shows, they did it with a great deal of suffering, determination, ingenuity — and, the author notes, luck.Although brief by McCullough's standards, this is a narrative tour de force, exhibiting all the hallmarks the author is known for: fascinating subject matter, expert research and detailed, graceful prose. Throughout, McCullough deftly captures both sides of the conflict. The British commander, Lord General Howe, perhaps not fully accepting that the rebellion could succeed, underestimated the Americans' ingenuity. In turn, the outclassed Americans used the cover of night, surprise and an abiding hunger for victory to astonishing effect. Henry Knox, for example, trekked 300 miles each way over harsh winter terrain to bring 120,000 pounds of artillery from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, enabling the Americans, in a stealthy nighttime advance, to seize Dorchester Heights, thus winning the whole city.Luck, McCullough writes, also played into the American cause — a vicious winter storm, for example, stalled a British counterattack at Boston, and twice Washington staged improbable, daring escapes when the war could have been lost. Similarly, McCullough says, the cruel northeaster in which Washington's troops famously crossed the Delaware was both 'a blessing and a curse.' McCullough keenly renders the harshness of the elements, the rampant disease and the constant supply shortfalls, from gunpowder to food, that affected morale on both sides — and it certainly didn't help the British that it took six weeks to relay news to and from London. Simply put, this is history writing at its best from one of its top practitioners.

"[A] lucid and lively work that will engage both Revolutionary War bores and general readers who have avoided the subject since their school days." New York Times
"[A] gripping read: readable, even thrilling popular history, and a graphic reminder of the parlous circumstances that attended the birth of this nation." Michiko Kakutani, the New York Times
"[A] classic — brilliantly written, scrupulously researched, tremendously informative and endlessly entertaining....With 1776, David McCullough has added another masterwork to his collection, one that is both informative and inspiring." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Though there is nary a dull moment in this breezy book, 1776 amounts to a deeply unsatisfying account of both a fascinating man and a pivotal historical moment....[A] deliciously readable book that leaves you famished for philosophical context. (Grade: B-)" Entertainment Weekly
"In 1776, his dramatic recounting of the critical year in the American Revolution, historian David McCullough has found a way to tell American history's untellable story....1776 will surely be, and deservedly, one of this year's best-selling books." Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"McCullough employs his formidable talent for narrative without unnecessarily repeating what has already been said many times." Providence Journal
"David McCullough, America's most celebrated popular historian, has done it again — written another engaging work of narrative history." Washington Post
"[A] short but highly engaging study." Wall Street Journal
"One of the most compelling nonfiction works McCullough has written and should be required reading in living rooms from coast to coast." Denver Post
"What McCullough has done here...is to take not just a piece of history but a well-traveled piece of history and render it anew." Newsday
"[F]luent and engaging....McCullough's brilliant work is a model for us all. In his unrivaled mastery of one part of the historian's task, we are all his students." Boston Globe
Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Truman and John Adams, David McCullough returns with the story of the Revolutionary War — a book certain to be another landmark in the literature of American history.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author A. Scott Berg comes the definitive—and revelatory—biography of one of the great American figures of modern times.
One hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, and one of the most enigmatic. And now, after more than a decade of research and writing, Pulitzer Prizewinning author A. Scott Berg has completed Wilson—the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the twenty-eighth President.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg was able to add countless details—even several unknown events—that fill in missing pieces of Wilsons character, and cast new light on his entire life.
From the visionary Princeton professor who constructed a model for higher education in America to the architect of the ill-fated League of Nations, from the devout Commander in Chief who ushered the country through its first great World War to the widower of intense passion and turbulence who wooed a second wife with hundreds of astonishing love letters, from the idealist determined to make the world safe for democracy" to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity—and the subterfuges around it—were among the centurys greatest secrets, from the trailblazer whose ideas paved the way for the New Deal and the Progressive administrations that followed to the politician whose partisan battles with his opponents left him a broken man, and ultimately, a tragic figure—this is a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilsons life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon—but Wilson the man.
Americas beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nations birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed Americas survival in the hands of George Washington.
In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

About the Author
David McCullough has been called a "master of the art of narrative history." His books have been praised for their exceptional narrative sweep, their scholarship and insight into American life, and for their literary distinction.
In the words of the citation accompanying his honorary degree from Yale, "As an historian, he paints with words, giving us pictures of the American people that live, breath, and above all, confront the fundamental issues of courage, achievement, and moral character."
Author of 1776, John Adams, Truman, The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path Between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, and Brave Companions, he has received the Pulitzer Prize twice (in 1993, for Truman, and in 2001, for John Adams), the Francis Parkman Prize, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and has twice won the National Book Award.
For his work overall he has been honored by the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, the National Humanities Medal, the St. Louis Literary Award, the Carl Sandburg Award, and the New York Public Library's Literary Lion Award. None of his books has ever been out of print.
In a crowded, productive career, Mr. McCullough has been an editor, essayist, teacher, lecturer, and familiar presence on public television — as host of Smithsonian World, The American Experience, and narrator of numerous documentaries including The Civil War and Napoleon. He is a past president of the Society of American Historians. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and has received 31 honorary degrees.
A gifted speaker, Mr. McCullough has lectured in all parts of the country and abroad, as well as at the White House, as part of the White House presidential lecture series. He is also one of the few private citizens to be asked to speak before a joint session of Congress.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1933, Mr. McCullough was educated there and at Yale, where he was graduated with honors in English literature. An avid reader, traveler, and landscape painter, he lives in West Tisbury, Massachusetts with his wife Rosalee Barnes McCullough. They have five children and fifteen grandchildren.

I've always been a sucker for the cliches in high school movies. You know, the mean popular girl, the incredibly winsome new kid, the snarky outsiders, the handsome jock who always turns out to be a douchebag. Well, THE CRAFT takes all of those vital elements, mixes them together with some magic and poof! AN AWESOME MOVIE IS BORN.
Y'all, this film is batshit insane, and I love it like Fairuza Balk loves overacting. THE CRAFT proves that magic really does make everything, including cinematic stereoptypes, better. (Well, until things go terribly wrong and you end up in an insane asylum but who's counting?). The new girl in school, Sarah (Robin Tunney), becomes instantly cooler when you realize she's a natural witch, while the goth girl, Nancy (Balk, who makes me wish there was an Oscar for Best Performance by Crazy Eyes) becomes tremendously freakier when you realize that she can kill you on a whim. Magic even makes up for incredibly unbelievable plot lines, like the fact that Nancy is poor yet still attends a private Catholic school!
This film truly takes the high school movie genre to the next level, and I hope you'll join me for the Girlie Night presentation of THE CRAY, I mean, THE CRAFT, where we'll yell "Witch, Please!" at the screen and maybe even get in a game of Light As a Feather, Stiff as a Board. (Sarah Pitre)

POTSDAM - Girls in Sports, An Investment in the Future is the theme for the 27th annual National Girls & Women In Sports Day (NGWSD) celebrated on Wednesday in 2013.
NGWSD is a special day for girls and women to celebrate their participation in sports and athletics.
One visible way to celebrate is by wearing a shirt, jersey or other symbol of the sports you participate in or love, regardless of age. From summer T-ball to youth soccer to figure skating to ice hockey to basketball to softball to lacrosse or other sports, celebrate your participation and accomplishments of female athletes at all levels.
When Title IX was enacted in 1971, one in 27 girls in high school participated in athletics. Now, one in three girls participates in athletics and all women and girls have greater opportunities in sports and athletics.
NGWSD will be celebrated Wednesday in all 50 states with community-based events and activities honoring the achievements and encouraging participation of girls and women in sports. The St. Lawrence County Branch has distributed posters and other information to all the public schools in Section 10, the four area colleges, and public libraries in St. Lawrence County.
One exciting and fun way to mark the day is to Take A Girl to a Game. You can check out local high school sports in your community or events at local colleges during the week or any time.
Since 1989 the St. Lawrence County Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) has organized a countywide promotion of NGWSD to help girls and women celebrate their love of sports. AAUW invites schools and colleges to help commemorate National Girls & Women in Sports Day by encouraging all girls and young women to wear a T-shirt or jersey which identifies her participation in sports and athletics on Wednesday.
AAUW reminds us that Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibited sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding has made the difference in breaking through barriers for women and girls in education and athletics.
One recent change in students access to sports that elementary and secondary schools must now ensure that students with disabilities can participate in sports or provide comparable options for those students according to a recent U.S. Education Departments Office for Civil Rights said via a recent dear colleague letter.
Students who are otherwise qualified may not be prevented from trying out and playing on a team, according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Schools dont have to change the essential rules of the game, and they dont have to do anything that would provide a student with a disability an unfair competitive advantage, he wrote. But they do need to make reasonable modifications (such as using a laser instead of a starter pistol to start a race so a deaf runner can compete) to ensure that students with disabilities get the very same opportunity to play as everyone else.
The growth in girls and womens sports has been phenomenal in recent years and studies show that girls who play sports have higher levels of self-esteem and lower levels of depression. Girls who play sports have a more positive body image and experience higher states of psychological well being than girls who do not play sports, and high school girls who play sports are more likely to graduate from high school and have better grades.
In 201, several major milestones were reached in women sports. With the addition of womens boxing, the London Olympics became the first ever to have women competing in all same sports as men for 302 total medal events. The US sent more women who qualified for Olympic sports than men contenders for the first time.
And, at those Games in London, women from United States, China, and Russia out-medaled their countrymen. The leading medal winners for the three traditional Olympic powerhouses were women despite the fact that there were 30 fewer medals available to be won.
Sports are where boys have traditionally learned about teamwork, goal setting, the pursuit of excellence in performance and other achievement-oriented behaviors - critical skills that women and men need for success in the workplace.

The goal of this category is to highlight the professional experiences that students take part in during their academic career. These experiences may be distinctly academic and involve academic credit, or they may be co-curricular in nature and not relate directly to academic credit.
Examples of academic credit activities that satisfy this category include:
Activities or experiences that do not earn academic credit may also be used in this category. Examples include:
Students who participate in activities that earn academic credit and that are mentioned above will receive automatic approval for their Category 6 SET activity. To receive SET approval for a Category 6 activity that does not earn academic credit, students must complete the SET Activity Approval Form and submit it to their faculty sponsor. Any current faculty member may serve as a faculty sponsor. Approval of activities in Category 6 lies at the discretion of the faculty sponsor. Some faculty sponsors may require students to get pre-approvals prior the completion of activities. Students should check with their faculty sponsor to see if pre-approval is required. Once the activity has been completed and approved, faculty sponsors must sign the SET Activity Approval Form and submit it to Dr. Shari Payne, Dean of Engaged Learning. Questions should be directed to Dr. Payne at (412) 397-6235 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Morellino di Scansano Bronzone 10 6/75(6x75cl)
Brick red in colour with purplish depths, the nose is enticingly forward with aromas of cherries and raspberries and hints of plums and vanilla. Medium bodied, fruit driven and rounded with crunchy black cherry flavours and a balancing structure. The finish is clean and textured.
Serrata di Belguardo 12 6/75(6x75cl)
Displays the classic notes of ripe red fruits associated with Maremma, and a perceptible presence of black fruits, particularly blackberries. The structure is solid with tannins which are beginning to soften and add complexity to the good length. Persistant finish.
Vermentino IGT 13 Belguardo 6/75(6x75cl)
Medium lemon yellow in the glass, this wine is full-bodied and full of tropical fruits, vanilla and yellow peach, all kept fresh with a seam of textured minerality.
Belguardo Rose IGT 13 Mazzei 12/75(12x75cl)
Beautiful light cherry red in the glass and rose petals on the nose. In the mouth there is a poised balance of acidity, alcohol and body, and the short period in wood adds to mouthfeel, structure and complexity, without overwhelming the succulent red fruit characteristics.

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
Last Friday afternoon the East Carbon boys basketball team had to travel a very long way south to meet the Moquis' of Escalante.
That evening their game went even farther south.
The Moquis, who have only faced 2A teams this year, except for East Carbon, dominated the court and 11 of their players scored as they downed the East Carbon kids 91-37.
It was one of those nights when one team seems to do everything right and another can't seem to get a break.
It started auspiciously for the boys from eastern Utah as the team from Garfield County jumped all over them from the beginning. At the end of the first quarter the score was 14 to seven.
The second period brought only worse things. The Skakespear brothers of Escalante (Shane, David and Dell) all scored and by half time East Carbon trailed 41-18.
After half time, the Moquis kept up the onslaught. In both quarters they scored 25 points per period and the Vikings were only able to manage 19 points total for the half.
The high scorer for the Vikings was Austin Preston with nine points. Tony McFarland and Josh Griffiths each scored eight a piece. Escalante was lead in scoring by Shane Shakespear with 17. Brothers Del and David scored 12 and 7 points respectively.
East Carbon is 0-5 in the preseason, but still has time to put it all together since they don't start league play until Jan. 10 when they travel to West Desert.
Their final game of the preseason was played Wednesday night after press time against Waterford.

Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education
Serving the underserved.
There is a continuing shortage of primary care physicians in this country, creating an urgent need for more family practitioners, general internists, pediatricians and obstetrician/gynecologists in many communities. The shortage of African-American, Hispanic, and others underrepresented medical professionals in inner city areas is particularly acute.
Forty years ago, City College decided to make a difference by developing the most unique physician training programs in the nation – the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education. Since its founding in 1973, Sophie Davis has recruited more underrepresented populations into medicine, increased medical services in underserved areas, and increased the availability of primary care physicians.
Our innovative program fast tracks a Bachelor of Science degree and the first two years of medical school curriculum in five years. If eligible, students will then finish the last two years of medical school training at one of our partner medical schools. Our 28-month P.A. Program leads to a M.S. degree and certification as a physician assistant.

The Carbon County Sheriff's Office police service dog, (PSD) Mazzie, brought home third place honors in the K9 narcotics detection event, which took place at the 2010 Utah Peace Officers Association (UPOA) K9 trials competition.
The UPOA K9 trials consisted of 35 of the best police service dog teams from the state of Utah and surrounding areas, competing head to head in various events, which were held in the Salt Lake City and Provo areas over a two week period.
"Everyone wants to come in first, but considering the competition we were up against, our ability to even place third in this event is a great accomplishment, as well as an impressive testament to Mazzie's abilities," said Sheriff's Deputy Chris Gigliotti, Mazzie's partner.
"I credit Mazzie's success to our ability to regularly train with very talented instructors and handlers, stated Gigliotti. "The group includes deputies Wally Hendricks and Mike Adams (Carbon County), Rose Cox (Salt Lake City Police), and Sgt. Steve Salas (Utah Highway Patrol). We are also blessed with the huge support of the Sheriff's Office's administration who allow us to attend local and out of area trainings, but without the co-operation of my fellow deputies, who often times have to carry my share of the regular workload during trainings, Mazzie's success would not be possible."
Sala's partner, PSD Duke, took second place in the tough dog competition at the competition.

Obama Administration Offers $35 Million for Biomass Research
March 28, 2012
The Biomass Research and Development Initiative will help develop economically and environmentally sustainable sources of renewable biomass.
The White House on March 22 announced an offer of up to $35 million over three years to support research and development in advanced biofuels, bioenergy, and high-value biobased products. The projects will be funded through the Biomass Research and Development Initiative (BRDI), a joint program of DOE and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The programs will help develop economically and environmentally sustainable sources of renewable biomass. They will also increase the availability of renewable fuels and biobased products that can help replace the need for gasoline and diesel.
For fiscal year 2012, applicants seeking BRDI funding must propose projects that integrate science and engineering research in three technical areas: feedstock development, biofuels and biobased products development, and biofuels development analysis. These technical areas are critical to the broader success of alternative biofuels production. Grants awards and national program leadership for the BRDI program will be administered by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Applications are due April 24, 2012, and must be submitted electronically. See the DOE press release and the Funding Opportunity Announcement on FedConnect.
