Video: Funeral Services Held for Army Spc. Brett Gornewicz
ALDEN, NY - Family and friends gathered Monday to say a final farewell to a Western New York soldier killed in Afghanistan.
The funeral service for Army Specialist Brett Gornewicz was held at St. John's Church in Alden.
Gornewicz, a combat engineer, was killed by an IED blast last weekend in Afghanistan while handling the dangerous duty of clearing roadside bombs.
The Alden native's body was returned to the U.S. on Sunday. A military honor guard unloaded his casket from the plane in a formal ceremony at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Then state and local police and sheriff's deputies led a procession to Alden. People lined the route to pay respects to the fallen soldier and the Gornewicz family.
Military officials say Spc. Gornewicz, 27, was one of three soldiers killed November 3 when their unit was hit with an IED (improvised explosive device) in the Paktia province of Afghanistan.
Staff Sgt. Dain T. Venne, 29, of Port Henry, N.Y. and Spc. Ryan P. Jayne, 22, of Campbell, N.Y. were also killed.
The three soldiers were members of the 479th Engineering Battalion, out of Watertown, N.Y.

CORFU, NY - The village of Corfu, a small community in Genesee County with about 700 people is dealing with a major crisis. Residents there say their mayor isn't answering to the people and is making harsh decisions.
On Friday, elected officials and residents gathered to try to deal with the problem.
Ralph Peterson, who's only been mayor of the village for about a week is already making enemies.
"We as trustees have repeatedly told you to slow down, you created this mess with the village clerk and the assistant and your actions are only making it worst," said Ken Lauer, a village trustee, at an emergency board meeting to speak with residents about the problems the village is facing.
"I saw a newly elected official kind of push his way through office and it's a shame he did it," said Arthur Ianni, another trustee on the board.
Trustees say that Peterson has been reckless. The most egregious show of power, according to Corfu trustees, is when Peterson fired two staffers this week from the clerk office. The move sent the office into confusion about who would pick up the extra duties. It got so chaotic, that the village closed its offices for a few hours the past couple of days to sort things out.
"What he told us was that they weren't doing what he wanted them to do, so he told them that he was not going to reappoint them," said Lauer.
Residents say they've never seen anything like this from Peterson when he was a village trustee for six years. Peterson was invited to Friday's meeting to explain his decision, but never showed. On Friday the village board acted to restrict the mayor from talking to contractors related to village work - claiming he's been deceitful to trustees. The board also voted to allow the unemployed staffers to get their jobs back whenever they want. The board fell one vote short of requesting the mayor to resign.
Ianni voted against the move, falling short of the three-vote unanimous decision that was needed.
"I don't think that a guy who's been in office for seven days should be judged on his first seven days," he said.
However, many village residents don't want the mayor to continue to work and get a paycheck. And are circulating a petition, which will be sent to Governor Cuomo to have Peterson removed from office.
Residents say they'd like to see Peterson's pay cut entirely or at least reduced. Village trustees say they'll meet in about a week and a half. There's a chance that a vote urging Peterson to resign could come up again. 2 On Your Side's Jeff Preval reached out to Peterson for comment, however we have not heard back.

i have a question hotz:
ok so like lets say im using shamoo and shes a fire att. And im using all water cards while i use her. Do the water cards i use have any affects on my character? or do they not do a single thing since she is a fire att. not water. If every different kind of element card DOES do affect on the opposite element character, then what REALLY is the point of different kinds of element cards when they all do the same damage and same stuff in the game???
p.s. i doubt anyone is gonna understand what im trying to ask here
but try to atleast explain stuff relating to this if u can...
Originally Posted by saranghhae
Yea sure dude. I think I know what you're talking about. Here's the long story short:
All black cards have a 40% rate of activation (the % of times it will work and magic cards have 20% I think)
When you equip all the same type of elements on one character like how you're doing it, you'll get 10% increase.
So it looks like this:
Water Magic 20%............................................... ..30%
Water Sword 40% add these together and you'll get..50%
Water Boots 40%............................................... ..50%
But if you were to add fire cards to Shamoo or your current water cards to a Water Character, you'll get a 10% for the same cards and another 10% for equiping it on the same element character.
Hopefully you understood what I said. Play around when putting on your cards and you'll see it on your own.
ic... so basically equpping the same type of elemental cards on the same elemental character is better, but even if the character and cards are different it still works on them, but yet again, its a little better if u have same element cards as the character
and i have one more question:
u know the quick training test in the very beginning? Well when i completed it, i got awarded w/ some codes and i got 2 water cards. I was hoping to have Will as my main character so i was a little disapointed that i didnt get any wind cards, but tahts not a big deal. As i completed and played games like quests and matches and if i was lucky i was awarded with some eles, those spirits u can use to upgrade cards with, but they were always always water again. I kept getting water only so ive been thinking that surproject thinks im like a water boy and i was made for using water characterswtf:confused:
o yea and same with my friend except he ended up being a happier guy..
he got awarded with wind cards at the end of the training test and he also wanted to mainly use Will. And he kept getting wind eles and i was like "WTF U BASTARD?!?!":eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
ok so let me get to my point: my question here is in the game, are u always gonna get the same eles(or mostly the same) everytime according to what u got from the training in the beginning?

Researchers report an advance in the production of embryonic stem cells -- work, they say, that could in theory work in humans as well. The research team, at Oregon Health & Science University first used skin cells from rhesus macaque monkeys to create cloned embryos. They then extracted embryonic stem cells from the few day old embryos.
The new work is published online in the journal Nature, and marks the first time a primate embryo has been successfully cloned. Several years ago, Korean researchers claimed to have used a similar process to clone a human embryo. That work was later discredited as fraudulent. In this segment, Ira talks with NPR's Joe Palca about the advance and what it means for the field of stem cell research.

Henry Luce
For over forty years, Henry Luce commanded what may well have been the most important publishing empire of the middle twentieth century. His magazines -- Time, Fortune, Life, and Sports Illustrated -- were the most popular and profitable periodicals in America. His March of Time newsreels created a sensation and won an Academy Award.
But for Luce, professional and financial success were not his most important goals. His life was shaped as much by a sense of purpose as it was by conventional ambition. The son of a missionary, he sought throughout his life to pursue missions of his own -- to use his power to shape the character of the nation. He believed that beneath the diversity of American life, there was a shared national culture, and he believed that his magazines could help reveal and strengthen it. This was both the great achievement of his media empire, and also its most controversial feature.
The remarkable popularity of his magazines -- with its vast readerships (Life alone attracted over 20 million readers) -- did little to silence the many critics who accused him of turning journalism into crude propaganda. Luce largely ignored his critics, whose attacks did little to dampen the success of his company, but he privately bridled at what he considered their unfairness.
In the end, what set him apart from other powerful publishers and editors was his determination to shape the content of his magazines -- to make his opinions and his beliefs the basis of what his editors and reporters printed. He was often thwarted in that effort, but he never abandoned it.
"The Gamble of Our Lives"
"The Gamble of Our Lives"
Henry R. Luce (called Harry by family and friends) was born in Tengchow, China in 1898, the son of a Protestant missionary. For the first ten years of his life, he lived in the missionary compound, surrounded by other westerners, before enrolling in a British boarding school on the coast of Hunan province. Harry hated the school, but flourished academically; and at age 14, he set off on his own to enroll at the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. That was where he met his classmate Briton Hadden, the man who -- with the exception of his own father -- became the most important person in his life. Friends, rivals, and indispensable partners, they worked together and competed with one another through both prep school and Yale. And only two years after they graduated from college, they launched Time magazine -- which Luce called "the gamble of our lives on which everything depends" -- and shepherded it from an obscure magazine to one of the most important sources of news in mid-century America.
Time was not to everyone's taste, with its idiosyncratic language and its many gratuitous opinions. But for its hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of readers -- most of whom had in the past received news only from provincial local papers -- Time was among the first publications that made the news of the world available to people in all parts of the nation. Time became a kind of glue, providing professional and other (mostly middle class) people a common, reliable, and concise guide to information that was now more important to them than ever before.
Hadden, a brilliant but hard-living editor, died in 1929 of a strep infection, leaving Luce to rule alone. Luce wasted no time in expanding his company's reach. He launched Fortune in 1930 -- a spectacularly beautiful magazine that was also an important innovation in business journalism, which for a time attracted some of the nation's best writers. Not long after, Time Inc. created "The March of Time" newsreels. And in 1936, Luce published the first issues of Life, the most popular magazine in American history and, for a time, by far the most lucrative. Derived from some of the early picture magazines of Europe, Luce and his colleagues created what came to be known as "The Great American Magazine." It was distinctive both for the quality of its photographs and for its optimistic, consensual tone. Above all, it provided a visual image of its time and revealed (as Luce wrote in his famous prospectus) "the faces of the poor and the gestures of the proud . . . strange things -- machines, armies, multitudes, shadow in the jungle and on the moon . . . things hidden behind walls and within rooms; things dangerous to come to." Years later, in 1954, Luce launched the first serious sports magazine -- Sports Illustrated. Like Fortune, it relied on good writers (among them William Faulkner, A. J. Liebling, Wallace Stegner, Budd Schulberg, and John Steinbeck). Luce insisted that it should elevate the world of sports from being "just a game" to being a metaphor for the human condition.
The Time Inc. publications were extraordinarily expensive to publish and distribute, but Luce resisted economizing and believed that spending more money to create greater quality was the best strategy for success. As one of his associates put it, they moved ahead without compromising in "an atmosphere of complete and serene confidence" to grasp "the chance of a lifetime."
"Luces the Magnificent"
By the mid-1930s, Luce's ambitions were moving beyond his publishing empire. He sought, and achieved, great personal fame and significant influence. He divorced his devoted, but conventionally social, first wife to marry one of the most famous women in America - Clare Boothe Luce. She was not only a socialite and a woman of fashion, but also a prominent magazine editor. Their marriage cooled quickly, but it raised both their public profiles. They were, Luce once said, the "Luces the Magnificent" --as exemplified by their great wealth, their lavish homes, their social prominence, and their presumed power.
Through turbulence, misery, and tragedy, they stayed together throughout their lives as both their careers soared. Clare became a successful playwright and journalist, then a member of Congress and an important figure in the Republican party. In the 1950s, she became ambassador to Italy. Harry not only ran his company, but began to play a role in shaping American policy. He too flirted at times with running for public office, and privately (but hopelessly) wanted to be named secretary of state under Eisenhower. But instead, he used the power of his magazines to try to shape the character of the nation and the world. Beginning in 1939, he became a prominent internationalist. He helped persuade Roosevelt to provide military support to Britain before Pearl Harbor. He was an early promoter of American intervention into World War II -- perhaps most visibly through the publication of his famous essay "The American Century," in which he wrote that "we are the inheritors of all the great principles of Western Civilization...It now becomes our time to be the powerhouse from which [American] ideals spread throughout the world."
At the same time, he became a strong supporter of the Republican party and was a strong and influential supporter of Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican presidential candidate. Luce's political infatuation with Willkie was only the beginning of his fascination with people he considered great men: Chiang Kai-shek, Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, even (toward the end of his life) John F. Kennedy. Absent from this list was Franklin Roosevelt, whom Luce came to despise (a sentiment reciprocated by the president) -- largely because of Luce's contempt for Roosevelt's evasiveness and, he believed, mendacity. ("It is my duty to go on hating him," he said after FDR's death.)
Losing China
One of Luce's most fervent hopes was to see a modernized (and Christianized) China, the country of his birth. He believed that China could join the company of great nations and could become are part of the industrialized (and westernized) world. Chiang-kai Shek, the president of China, was a corrupt and inept leader, who struggled through both a war with Japan and a civil war with the Chinese Communists. Luce dismissed the stories of Chiang's weaknesses and dismissed reporters (among them Theodore H. White) who did not share his optimism. He struggled to ensure the future of Chiang's China -- through World War II, and during the four years after as the Nationalist government crumbled and the communists triumphed. Above all, he used his magazines to promote Chiang and his government, to the chagrin of many of his journalist colleagues who had no faith in the Nationalist regime and who bridled at Luce's shaping of the news to fit his own hopes.
He never reconciled himself to China's "fall," and spent much of the rest of his life searching for ways to overturn the communist regime. He joined the growing chorus of denunciation of the Truman State Department for what he considered its weakness in combating communism and defending China. When America entered the Korean War, Luce proposed "unleashing Chiang Kai-shek" and expanding the conflict into China. In 1954, when the French abandoned Vietnam to the communists, Luce again hoped that American intervention would not only drive the communists out of Vietnam, but also out of China. Even in the last year of his life, he continued to berate the government's failure to "save" China.
The Complexity of Luce
It was easy to characterize Luce as a conservative polemicist preoccupied by his obsessions with China and other unpopular causes. But there was another side to Luce that reveals a more complicated man than his public image often revealed. He called himself a liberal - by which he meant, in part, a belief in progress and change. But he also embraced some of the new postwar liberal ideas. He was a longstanding supporter of racial equality, beginning in the 1920s and continuing through his life. He believed in labor unions. He supported Willkie not just because he was a Republican, but because he was a moderately liberal Republican committed to internationalism. He attacked Joseph McCarthy (and described him on Time's cover as a "demagogue") long before most other news organizations did. Once, when asked what he would do if given a choice between fascism and communism, he replied that he would choose communism, because at least it tried to help the masses. In 1960, although he tepidly endorsed Nixon, he showed great respect toward John Kennedy. And in 1964, although he never confirmed it, he seems likely to have voted for Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater.
Throughout the 1950s, Luce crusaded for ideas and people he believed in. He was a loyal supporter of Eisenhower and took great pleasure out of his close relationship with him. He helped launch a quixotic movement to promote the "rule of law" in the world (which he and others believed could help undermine communism.) He was a leader of an effort to create a National Presbyterian Church in Washington. He organized a committee to study the idea of a "national purpose," and he helped publish a series of essays by prominent thinkers that, for a time, attracted significant attention.
His private life remained much less successful than his public one. Both he and Clare had frequent extramarital affairs, and they spent little time together. Twice, Harry tried to divorce her and remarry, but Clare fought tenaciously and successfully to thwart him -- in part by threatening to weaken his control of his company. But their relationship was not entirely combative. There remained a residue of real companionship, and perhaps even love, that emerged periodically out of the rubble of their lives -- sometimes in unusual ways. Clare, a champion of LSD as a source of serenity and enlightenment, persuaded Harry to join her in trying the drug at their home in Phoenix. He disliked the experience, but shared her interest in its powers. And after his retirement from his company in 1964, he spent much of his time with Clare and traveled frequently with her until his sudden death by a heart attack in 1967.
Henry Luce was one of the most influential figures of his time, and yet many of the legacies that he hoped to leave behind him were not the ones that have endured. He wanted to be known as a powerful force in shaping American foreign policy, but there is nothing to suggest that his views had any real impact. He wanted to see the Republican party the dominant political force in America, and he wanted to play an important role in shaping its future. But he failed to elect the man he most wanted to see as President, Wendell Willkie; and despite his warm (and much coveted) friendship with Eisenhower, he did not have much influence over the President's policies. He hoped to use his power to present a picture of a united nation and a consensual culture, only to live long enough to see the unraveling of what he thought was a nationally shared set of principles and beliefs.
But Luce did leave an important legacy, nevertheless. It was his success in creating new forms of information and communications at a moment in history when media were rapidly changing and expanding. His magazines - and the model of innovation they represented -- were always his most important achievements.

Expose young students to different career options, giving them purpose and direction looking toward the future.
"I like shooting, I like hunting and I liked the rifle team," says student Ellie Dario.
Young students got a glimpse into what could possibly be their future careers.
"We have 1,000 fifth graders from the county schools and they're here for our 'Exploring our Tomorrows Career Awareness Day,'" says Teri King, counselor with Williamstown Elementary. "They get to visit with five different professionals from all walks of life to learn about various occupations and careers."
Leaders in various industries mentored the kids at the West Virginia University at Parkersburg event. A local company made an impression on one student.
"I like the part where we got to see Dupont," says Dario.
Interested and involved, it was a day of learning for the students.
"The kids were enthusiastic and they asked a lot of questions, and they got to participate and pet dogs and get their nails painted and do physical therapy exercises, so it's been overwhelmingly positive," King says.
Educators say even at this age, the students benefit from all the information.
"Get kids thinking what they want to do with the rest of their lives because it's never too soon to start making these kind of decisions," King says.
For Ellie, it was a hands-on experience.
"You get to learn a lot, like you can experience what you can do and I had a lot of fun," she says.
It's great to enjoy your childhood but preparing for what's to come isn't a bad idea either. Then you can savor your adulthood, too.

Busting Through
Leading the Fight Against Stigma
by: David Staba
Stella March spent much of her working life in the advertising business, and devoted her off time to fighting for a variety of causes.
So when schizophrenia struck her family, the Los Angeles resident combined her professional background and personal advocacy into a campaign that ultimately targeted perhaps the largest obstacle facing people with mental illness—the stigma that permeates popular culture.
"I've been involved in advocacy since college days, for peace, against war and so on," says Stella, who coordinates the StigmaBusters campaign of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI). "When my kids went to public schools here, I was advocating for more funding for education from the state and the integration of public schools. That training prepared me to work on mental-illness issues before it happened."
"It" happened to March's family in the late 1970s, when her son, then a student at the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
"He was at the state hospital," Stella recalls. "I cried my eyes out every time I left."
She quickly channeled those emotions into battling for mental-health causes. She and other family members began banding together across the United States, building NAMI - a then-fledgling organization - into a powerful lobbying and public-information force.
The new group started pushing state and federal governments, as well as pharmaceutical companies, to fund additional research into schizophrenia. Those efforts ultimately helped produce a new generation of medications, reminding Stella and her peers of the strength in numbers.
"One of anybody can't do anything," she says.
After successfully working to gain protections for people with mental illness under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, NAMI launched a campaign against discrimination in 1995.
One of the first steps was an attempt to enlist celebrities to record public service announcements about the issue. Stella, familiar with the ins and outs of show-business publicity from her advertising days, learned the strength of stigma first-hand.
"When it came to mental illness, all the agents and publicists and celebrities had a big wall around them," she says. "They wouldn't even listen."
Finally,Mike Farrell - best known for his long run as B.J.Honeycutt on television's "M*A*S*H*" - stepped forward and agreed to appear in a public-service announcement.
Not that many people ever saw it.
"Frankly, a lot of the networks and stations didn't play it, or they played it at 2 in the morning," Stella says.
Rather than trying to work within the framework of traditional media, she and other NAMI leaders decided to launch their assault on stigma from outside the Hollywood establishment, and StigmaBusters was born.
"We realized we couldn't put an end to discrimination without addressing stigma," she says.
The group began watching for inaccurate and insensitive portrayals in television, movies, music and advertising. Such stigmatizing characterizations triggered "StigmaBuster Email Alerts," which encouraged NAMI members to make their displeasure heard where it would echo the loudest—in the corporate offices of the entertainment industry that produced them.
Stella stresses that StigmaBusters isn't interested in censorship, but in education.
"They're not going to pull back books that are published or films that are distributed - it costs too much money," she says. "We hope to educate them so they won't do it again in the future."
In 1999, the Surgeon General's Report on Mental Illness outlined the damage done by stigma.
"Stigma leads others to avoid living, socializing or working with, renting to, or employing people with mental disorders, especially severe disorders such as schizophrenia," the report reads. "It reduces patients' access to resources and opportunities (e.g., housing, jobs) and leads to low self-esteem, isolation and hopelessness. It deters the public from seeking, and wanting to pay for, care. … More tragically, it deprives people of their dignity and interferes with their full participation in society."
With entertainment options flooding through a constantly growing array of outlets, StigmaBusters picks its battles carefully. Single words like "crazy," "loony" or "nuts" don't trigger action, unless they're used as part of a larger pattern of stigmatization.
Instead, the focus remains on high-profile media ventures that inaccurately portray mental illness.
Two of Stigma-Busters' biggest victories came in 2000.
After an alert called attention to the stigmatizing ad campaign for the FOX-distributed Jim Carrey film "Me,Myself and Irene" - starring the comedian as a police officer with schizophrenia - the furor resulted in drastic changes.
The same year, another alert - along with low ratings - helped convince ABC to cancel the one-hour drama "Wonderland", set in a nightmarish version of New York City's Bellevue Hospital.
Another triumph came in the field of advertising. Nestle's line of Tasty, Tangy Taffy Bars featured wrappers bearing distorted cartoon faces of characters with names like "Psycho Sam,""Loony Jerry" and "Weird Wally." Two alerts and even a letter from former First Lady Rosalynn Carter convinced Nestle to repackage the candies, minus the stigmatizing names and cartoons.
In the fall of 2004, StigmaBusters went after two entertainment-industry heavyweights.
In late September, CBS aired "Dr. Phil: Families First," a two-hour primetime special during which pop psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw told the parents of a troubled child to "go fishing," rather than seek medical treatment, even though the boy showed signs of possible bipolar disorder.
"Not only did the show represent a breach of professional ethics, but also, in the opinion of many, malpractice," read a letter co-signed by NAMI Executive Director Michael J. Fitzpatrick.
CBS CEO Leslie Moonves responded with a letter of apology, while McGraw wrote to say he hadn't intended to downplay the importance of professional help.
Around the same time, Universal Orlando Theme Parks launched an advertising campaign for its "Halloween Horrors Events" that pictured a man in a straitjacket with the tagline, "What's your breaking point?" A press kit sent to reporters included a committal form to a fictional psychiatric ward and a straitjacket.
StigmaBusters responded with an alert pointing out that the notion that someone can be "driven insane" by fear, as well as the straitjacket imagery, promote archaic stereotypes and stigma.
While Universal continued its campaign, the controversy led other local Halloween-themed promotions with stigmatizing connotations, such as an "insane asylum" haunted house, to "clean up their act," Stella says.
The campaign also strives to be proactive. Through a connection with the Writer's Guild of America, which represents the people who produce the screenplays of most movies and television shows, Stella distributed an educational brochure to the group's 8,000 members.
"There was a paragraph about each sort of mental illness and about what sort of language hurts," she says.
StigmaBusters also uses that connection with the Writer's Guild to quietly encourage sensitivity.
"When a film comes out that gives a very inaccurate portrayal, I can send a letter and I'm able to get it through the writer's guild and explain the hurt, so that hopefully, they won't do it again," she says. "Instead, we hope they'll use some balance."
StigmaBuster Alerts also call attention to positive, accurate portrayals of people with mental illness, such as the film A Beautiful Mind and an article in the January 2005 issue of Reader's Digest, which described a Florida man with schizophrenia who got a job at a local restaurant through a local NAMI-sponsored clubhouse.
"We protest or we praise," Stella says. "We have to protest at times, but we love to praise. This article really proved that sometimes, good things are going on."
That sense of optimism keeps her going, believing that change will come, even if attitudes adjust gradually.
"With racism and HIV and cancer - which for many years wasn't discussed and was hidden - the stigma has dissipated," she says. "With racism, there's still stigma but it has been reduced. There's certain language people don't dare to use. I think eventually, the same thing will happen with mental illness."

The upcoming cold and flu season promises to be a trying one. In addition to dealing with the usual aches, pains, and discomfort associated with illness this time of year many are becoming anxious over the resurgence of the swine flu. Symptoms that normally would not cause fear or panic are likely to be over scrutinized sending an abundance of patients to hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices over the next few months. While vaccines will be available in mid-October, psychologists have an interesting take on who is most likely to take advantage of them. Research has shown that while most people were biased in thinking that their health was superior to others, those who expressed the intention to get inoculated among other things expressed lower levels of health bias (Larwood, 2006). Self-serving biases are associated with a variety of positive and negative outcomes for the self, but in this case overconfidence could be deadly.

BELFAST, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Three challenging days and 180 miles later cyclists crossed the finish line ending the annual Trek Across Maine. The goal is to raise money for the American Lung Association, but for one of the largest teams participating they suddenly had another reason to ride.
During the first leg of the three day ride, Athenahealth teammate David LeClair was fatally hit by a passing truck.
Athenahealth team member Jaime McIntosh said, "We were given the option that if we couldn't continue we could stop. But everybody kind of pulled together and kept going. We rode for him and it's like a I kept telling everybody if it were me I would want people to continue riding because you know it is what we're there for. We rode for our team member."
McIntosh is one of nearly 150 cyclists who rode for the Athenahealth team this year. She is one of many that as she crossed the finish line she was thinking of one.
"Every mile was a prayer for his life and a celebration of him," said McIntosh.
At the finish line, the cheer section showed LeClair's smiling face as a way to honor, remember, and celebrate his life.
Fellow employees who worked with David remember him as someone would who stop whatever he was doing to help others.
His tragedy has inspired several to take part in next year's trek.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Quick Overview
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disorder of the part of the nervous system that controls voluntary movements. It is sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease for the famous baseball player who died of the disease. The muscles become progressively weaker, and the condition eventually leads to paralysis and death.
ALS is one of a group of diseases known as motor neuron diseases. Neurons are nerve cells, and motor neurons are neurons that control movement.
The loss of strength and control follows different patterns in different people.
In most cases, ALS does not affect a person's mental abilities, senses, reasoning, memory, or personality. Senses such as vision and touch are not lost. Most people retain their ability to move their eyes. Bowel and bladder control are not impaired.
ALS affects all races and ethnic groups. The disease can occur at any age but is most common in people aged 40-60 years. Men are affected more often than women.
No cure is available for ALS. The effects of the disease are not reversible. Research is focused on finding the cause of the neuron degeneration and stopping it.

Once a month, the Simms/Mann–UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology presents Insights Into Cancer, a free public lecture series for cancer patients, their families and the community. Each lecture features a leading professional who provides up-to-date information, practical advice and answers to cancer-related questions.
November 18, 2014 "It Could Be Worse"— A Spiritual Ponzi Scheme?
Michael Eselun, certified inter-faith chaplain for the Simms-Mann/UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology explores a common coping strategy used throughout the larger circles of life, but especially within the world of cancer, by both patients and caregivers alike—"it could be worse." Embracing that frame of mind is often presumed to snap those struggling back into "an attitude of gratitude," so the burden doesn't seem so heavy. As one contemplates the universe or even one's understanding of God, "it could be worse" might seem to balance out one's perception of the scales of justice and fairness. But what are the implications? What does it say about our view of suffering and the suffering of others? What is the cost of clinging to "it could be worse," as a way of getting through our challenges?
Michael Eselun, certified inter-faith chaplain, serves as the chaplain for the Simms-Mann/UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. He recently hosted and presented at the first Spirituality and Medicine Conference at UCLA to an interfaith group of community religious leaders. He's been invited many times to speak to students, doctors, nurses, social workers, and faith communities about his work as a chaplain and the spiritual dimension of the cancer experience.
Insights Into Cancer lectures are held in the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Auditorium, B Level, Room B130, 757 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095.
UCLA parking is $12 and is wheelchair accessible. Attendees can park in the medical plaza, or take advantage of the valet parking at the front of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art
Nov. 14 – Dec. 16, 2008
Friday, Nov. 14, 2008, 5–7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov.13, reception at 5:30 p.m. followed by panel discussion at 7 p.m. Featuring Gabriela Boiangiu, Emanuel Borcescu and Delia Popa
Monday, Nov.17, 11:30 a.m. with curator, Dr. Ann Albritton.
Traces: Contemporary Romanian Art presents sixteen young Romanian artists who—sometimes straightforwardly and often ironically—explore issues of culture as well as gender through a variety of work: photography, videos, hand sewn projects, small objects, and paintings. Unlike the previous generation that worked under the starkly repressive dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu, they have traveled more outside Romania and many exhibit throughout Europe. Representing this new generation are: Ana Banica, Gabriela Boiangiu, Rozalinda Borcila, Emanuel Borcescu, Care Cutare, Gorzo, Suzana Dan, Gorzo, Mirela Ivanciu, Stela Lie, Ioana Marinescu, Aurelia Mihai, Gili Mocanu, Vlad Nanca, Lila Passima, and Delia Popa.
The exhibition first traveled to CIAC Gallery in Pont Aven, France, July 12 to August 14, 2008; to the Robert Else Gallery, Sacramento State University, Sacramento, CA from Sept. 2 to Oct. 15, 2008; and now to the Selby Gallery, Sarasota, from Nov. 14 to Dec. 16, 2008. It will then return to Romania to be shown in the National University Fine Arts Gallery in Bucharest, March 10-24, 2009. For two years, between 1993 and 1995, Ann Albritton, Ringling College of Art and Design, taught modern and contemporary art history at the Grigorescu Academy of Art (now the National University of Fine Arts) in Bucharest, Romania. Visiting Bucharest again in 2006, Albritton suggested to two former students, Mirela Ivanciu and Carmen Iovitu, that they collaborate on an exhibition featuring young Romanian artists that would travel to France and the U. S. Elaine O'Brien, art historian at Sacramento State University and writer on global art history, had visited in Romania in 1995 and joined the other curators.
Curated by:
Dr. Ann Albritton, Ringling College of Art and Design
Dr. Elaine O'Brien, California State University, Sacramento
Carmen Iovitu, National Museum of contemporary Art, Bucharest
Mirela Ivanciu, National museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest

You might say it's like a renewal of vows. Martha Stewart Weddings has once again partnered with Tag for its "Scan to Win" contest. And why wouldn't the publication? Last year's promo recently netted top honors for the Most Creative Use of New Technology at Min's Integrated Marketing Awards. The four-month program was such a success—it yielded almost 38,000 scans, which was nearly four times the amount predicted—that it was a no-brainer for Martha Stewart Weddings to run the Tag campaign again this fall.
This time the number of ads that are Tagged has increased from 14 to 17. Readers who scan the customized Tags on these ads in the Fall 2011 issue are taken to the mobile web pages of the participating sponsors. With each unique scan readers are entered to win a prize, including the top prize of $1,000. The more you scan, the more you can win!
Martha Stewart Weddings did a nice job implementing the campaign including a two-page spread explaining the contest with a clear call to action, cool custom Tags, and a simple and clean mobile-optimized entry form.
Certainly no wedding bell blues for this campaign.

One person is dead following an explosion that leveled a building at a condominium complex in Yarmouth. State police say the body of 66-year-old Peter Corey was found in the rubble, and several others were injured. As Keith Shortall reports, authorities believe that propane may have been involved.
The explosion rocked this quiet suburban neighborhood in Yarmouth at about 6:20 Tuesday morning.
"Upon arrival at the very end left duplex, one section of the building was completely gone, the other section was heavily damanged as well as a number of other buildings in the area," said Sgt. Ken Grimes of the state Fire Marshal's Office.
Grimes says several residents of the complex were treated for minor injuries, and the body of one man - later identified as 66-year-old Peter Corey - was found in the rubble. Grimes says investigators are still looking for a cause of the blast, which was not accompanied by a fire.
"There is propane that supplies these units here on scene," Grimes said. "That is certainly one of the considerations that we'll be looking for."
Grimes and other law enforcement officials spoke to members of the media at the entrance of the condo complex, which had been kept off limits to the public. From a baseball field across the street, a state helicopter took several short passes over the site of the explosion.
Grimes says aerial views of a blast scene can help investigators get a better view of the debris field. "A lot of times when you're standing in the debris field itself you really can't see the outer areas," he said. "So in this particular case we asked forestry to come down with their helicopter, they took us up, we flew the area, we were able to photograph, we were able to get a better idea of how far the blast damange, and how far the debris would have gone."
Grimes estimates that the debris field was spread out as much as 200 yards in all directions. Yarmouth officials say the blast itself knocked neighbors to the ground.
"To give you magnitude of the explosion, our deputy fire chief was walking from his vehicle into his, the explosion occurred and it actually tossed him to the ground," Grimes said.
Michael Robitaille is FIre and Rescue Chief for the town of Yarmouth. "The fire station's approximately 600- or 700-feet away, and we sustained damage to the building there."
Officials say 10 or more other condos were damaged, and wallboard, insulation and other debris was spread around the neighborhood. Reed Thurston, who lives down the street from the complex, says she also felt the blast.
"I thought somebody had run into my house," she says. "My entire house shook. I was shocked. I woke my boyfriend up, I'm like, 'What was that?" He said he thought it was lightening or thunder of some sort, told me not to worry about it, but I couldn't go back to bed. I got on Facebook."
If propane is determined to be the cause, it would be the second fatal explosion in Maine this year. In Feburary, a propane blast destroyed a duplex in Bath, killing one woman. Ken Grimes of the state Fire Marshal's Office says there are years when no incidents involving propane are reported, and other years when there are two, three, or four.
He says it's important to remember, though, that propane is present in thousands of homes in the state of Maine. "And if you have one instance out of thousands of homes, people shouldn't be alarmed that propane is a problem fuel gas to use in their homes," he says. "It's like anything else. We don't know what occurred, but malfunctions of products do occur."
Because of the warm temperatures and high humidity, several first responders were treated for heat-related problems. Yarmouth Fire and Rescue Chief Michael Robitaille says he's surprised that the explosion didn't do even more damage.
"I would say not only suprised, but blessed - we're very lucky today that we didn't have much more destruction and much more injury," Robitaille said. "Six o'clock in the morning, people are sleeping, this is an elderly complex, for the most part. So we are very lucky."
The state Fire Marshal's Office says the investigation could take several days. A structural engineer is inspecting the other units to determine whether it's safe for the occupants to return. The Red cross is helping those displaced by the blast.

For more What in the World, watch GPS on Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET.
By Global Public Square
Here at GPS we often report how the United States has fallen behind in a number of global rankings. For example, The Economist has just published what it calls the "Where to be born" index: a list of countries which provide the best opportunities and the highest quality of life. In 1988, America was #1; now it is joint 16th. Three of the top five countries today are in Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Or look at the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index. The U.S. has fallen to #7 in the latest rankings. Finland and Sweden are in the top five.
Or look at corruption. The United States ranks 19th in Transparency International's new index. Denmark and Finland are rated the cleanest countries.
Now you can spot two trends. On the one hand, America has been losing its edge. But I'm also struck by the rise of Scandinavia, a region that includes Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and if you broaden that definition, Finland and Iceland. Each of these countries seem to dominate global ranking lists. Why? What is their secret sauce?
Well, Scandinavia is actually much more free market-oriented than most people realize. Capital is allocated by the market, the government doesn't own companies, regulation is usually light, corruption is non-existent. Companies can hire and fire easily, labor moves around. But these countries do tax a lot and spend a lot – on education, childcare, health and other things.
Now, a recent MIT paper suggests there are limits to this model. It's called "Can't we all be more like Scandinavians?" In brief, it points out how the Scandinavian welfare system provides a number of benefits: more vacations, better healthcare, more equality. But when it comes to innovation, the U.S. still wins. For example, if you look at patents filed per million residents, the study shows the U.S. has moved far ahead of Scandinavian countries.
Here's why this is important. Unlike say, a healthcare system (which only benefits people of one particular country), innovation has global impacts. New American inventions spread around the world. According to the paper's authors, Scandinavian countries "free-ride" on U.S. research and development. But if the U.S. became Scandinavian, it would spend less on innovation, which might reduce global growth rates (and thus, discredit the Scandinavian model).
The paper has been criticized for using patents as the marker for innovation. But even so, this is an important discussion. And it ties in to many of the questions our leaders are grappling with. Does the state need to make societies more equal? Does that come at a cost?
There is much to admire about Scandinavia: on education, on healthcare, on energy. But that doesn't mean we need to become Scandinavian. We are more individualistic, free-wheeling, ready to take risks. Americans don't need to stop being American. But why not look at how these countries in Scandinavia make investments in healthcare and early education and how all of these things create greater equality of opportunity. That is after all what helps people succeed, no matter where they come from or how poor they are.
The truth is, Scandinavian countries are fulfilling a huge part of the American dream better than America these days. Thankfully, we're still an innovation powerhouse, and we need to spend more on R&D rather than cutting those budgets. And perhaps we need to target some of that innovative thinking towards restoring the American Dream of equal opportunity. That would be a truly American solution to an American problem.
America is now ranked 7th, and still dropping. After another 4 years of Obama, we will be totally out of the top 10, and probably out of the top 20.
I just couldn't leave your web site before suggesting that I really loved the standard information a person provide to your guests? Is going to be back ceaselessly to investigate cross-check new posts
I live in Northern Finland and have to say that we never have gotten any free-rides from anyone. After World World II Finland literally rose from the ashes. While we had a whole country to build again we had to pay huge compensations to Russia for decades. People gave everything to their country... people even gave their wedding rings to their country to get the gold desperately needed. And while people were starving and trying to build their homes they also worked their ass off for their country! Finland fought it's way to one of the richest countries in the world except by the 80 until the Great Depression hit us. We had to again work hard to survive and fought back to victory from the recession more quickly than no country in the past had been able to survive. These struggles have made us stronger even in the midst of the current recession. And again when we're at the point where we do not accomplish without the hard work of the people, even our president to do its bit by reducing their wages significantly.
It is, in fact, very wrong that our nation is suffering from the current recession, whose birth we are not responsible in any way. Finland is the only European Union country that has met stringent financial requirements every year. We do not live beyond our means and we obediently paid higher taxes than any other state. Now we have to pay for festivities which we are not even involved. But we do it – as it is for the common good! Finns are not greedy or seek popularity – we just work hard and enjoy life as it is! We do not need wealth, but rather we are enjoying peace, equality, higher education, and a higher quality of life in general.
And what comes to innovations – here is few facts: Finland (and most of other Scandinavia too) sells most innovations to America and to other bigger countries! Next time you play Angry Birds with your Nokia phone just picture this: both the phone and the game were created here... and with no luck – just with hard work!
You make a strong case for your country I respect your pride, but the free-riding i do have to agree with. USA is a innovation powerhouse bar none. Angry Birds and Nokia...that's all you got? We have Apple, IBM, Cisco, EA, Disney, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Hollywood, Twitter, Facebook, and You Tube...nuff said
I have lived in Sweden for 13 years now (I am English) the substance of this report has errors. The Swedish Govern ment has a monopoly on alcohol; against EU regulations. Cases brought to the EU Courts against the Swedish government/Swedish employers concerning civil liberties or wrongful dismissal have gone against the Swedish Government or employer. Corruption is also alive and well here. There has been rather a lot in our papers on work malpractice and suicide of employees who are hounded by bullying and corrupt bosses. There has also been a lot of news on 'whistle blowers' who are victimised and bullied for daring to suggest publicly that there is something wrong at their place of work. White collar Unions are weak and in fact are more likely to promote the Employer's wishes than stand up for the workers. Regardless to say I don't know exactly where these statistics come from but I'm guessing that it is provided by the Swedes themselves.
Dont forget about the sköntaxering, here you will be judged and have your Life ruined, without even going to Court.
Hope all is well, Peace Carla.
How do you rate a great education system? On simply moving people through one or the quality of the students?
Swede here, we rate it solely on quality.
If you've "crammed and forgot", you'll be stuck in the following grade until you actually learned.

CANTON - On the heels of a scarce crop last year, north country apple growers are seeing a bumper supply of fruit in their apple orchards this season.
Our trees are loaded, absolutely loaded, said Joel C. Howie, operator of Canton Apples, Canton-Russell Road .We are getting a fantastic crop.
Growers explained that when trees under-produce one year, the harvest is often extra large the following season.
The trees had a rest last year so nature tells them they need to explode the next and thats what theyve done, said Steven L. Fobare, operator of Fobares Fruits, 180 Johnson Road, Rensselaer Falls. Even the wild trees are loaded.
Alan M. Goodwin, operator of Goodwins Orchards, 37 Needham Road, Potsdam, said last years apple crop suffered after a heat spell in March caused blossoms to arrive early.
The high spring temperatures were followed by a frost that killed some of the buds. Last summer was hot and dry which stunted apple growth.
This summer, plentiful rain and mild temperatures have helped boost the crop. Cooler nights forecasted this week will help the fruit ripen.
Cold is good for apples. It changes the starch and thats what brings the color, Mr. Goodwin said. This time of year, we want it to cool down.
Some U-pick orchards in the north country are already open for customers, while others expect to open within a few days. Picked apples are for sale at many roadside stands.
The U-pick at Fobares is already open for customers with four varieties ready, including Early Gold, Ginger Gold, Autumn Crisp and Linda-Mac. Customers can pick seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and picked apples are also for sale. Prices vary depending on the quantity and the variety. Grapes are also available for picking.
Customers visiting Fobares will also find a playground, gift shop, bakery and pumpkin patch.
At Canton Orchards, apple varieties include Liberty, Mac-free and Honey Crisp. The U-pick will be open to customers starting Saturday and running every Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Four different sizes are available: half peck for $5; one peck for $8; half a bushel, $14 and one bushel,$20.
The roadside stand at Goodwins already has picked apples available. The U-pick operation should open next week with McIntosh, Cortland, Empires and a few other varieties. Picking is from 9 a.m. to dusk Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays.
A bushel of U-pick cost $16, one they pick is $20. Smaller sizes are also available.

I still haven't finished reading the FSM bible (reading it on the bus, only received it the other day). Anyway, this morning I read the math section and was highly dissapointed. Now, I'm no maths expert but I feel I can give MUCH more compelling evidence as to how math can prove the existance of the FSM.
First of all we'll start with the following sum:
Now, if you take the left side of the equation and squeeze it together you get this:
And of course, what does that resemble? Why none other than:
Which of course conclusively proves through math the existance of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as demonstrated below:
