CANTON A safety initiative is being launched to combat n increase in motor vehicle accidents with Amish buggies by educating new drivers and erecting up to 100 warning signs along St. Lawrence County roads.
The effort is a collaboration among Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton; the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Office; the county Traffic Safety Program; and the county clerk. It was announced Thursday at a press conference at SUNY Canton.
This campaign, that is a joint effort from all of us, is about saving lives, Mrs. Ritchie said.
The number of Amish living in New York has tripled since 2001, and car-buggy crashes have become a frequent problem in St. Lawrence County.
This initiative was prompted by the death of a 9-month-old Amish girl after a crash in November.
That accident occurred in Lewis County, although St. Lawrence County also has seen numerous crashes resulting in injuries and property damage.
We believed that something needed to be done, Ms. Ritchie said.
There are two main parts to the program. A state grant will provide the funds to erect up to 100 reflective warning signs alongside county roads. The area has very few such warning signs now, despite the large Amish population, Ms. Ritchie said.
The second is a brochure offering information about the Amish and guidelines for motorists on how to safely navigate around the slow-moving horse-drawn buggies.
These steps are not targeted at longtime local residents, Ms. Ritchie said, but rather at the countys large student population, new drivers and visitors.
Many, like the new students at SUNY Canton ... have probably never seen an Amish buggy before, she said.
The fliers were distributed to all four colleges. Every incoming freshman at SUNY Canton received a copy, according to Alan P. Mulkin, deputy chief of campus police.
Its important to educate our students about the Amish community and make them aware of the hazards that can present, he said.
The fliers will also be made available in various county buildings and chambers of commerce.

"Utah deer hunting sure has changed over the years," Uncle Spud proclaimed as we sat on the back porch cleaning our rifles and sharpening our bullets.
"Yeah, I remember the 1950s and 60s," I told him. "Utah had the best deer hunting in the world back then."
"We hunted a lot different in those days," Spud reminisced. "People hunted more for meat than horns. We had big buck contests where the winner was the deer that weighed the most, not the one with the biggest antlers."
"And guns have changed," Spud continued. "Years ago most people used 30-30 carbines or something similar. An ought-six was considered a big gun. Hardly anyone used magnum rifles back then. Magnums were used for shooting elephants in Africa."
I remember that very few people used a scope," I added. "Using a scope was like cheating."
"That's right," he said. "You were admitting you were an old man with bad eyes if you broke down and bought a four-power scope. Most guns back then were not drilled and tapped for a scope anyway. You had to buy a scope and take the gun to a gunsmith to have the thing mounted."
"Almost no one carried binoculars. If you couldn't see horns with your naked eye you just didn't shoot. It was just as well. The old 30-30 wouldn't reach past the range of your baby-blues anyway."
"We dressed a lot different, too," I said. "For one thing, we didn't have all of this waterproof gore-tex stuff. People wore wool to stay warm when the weather was wet and we used oil and wax to help keep the water out our leather boots."
"Red was the color for old time deer hunters," Spud remembered. "Hunter orange wasn't available until the late 1970s. For a few years hunters could wear yellow in Utah, but they finally decided it wasn't a good color for hunting in the quakies."
"Everyone camped in tents," I added. "I remember seeing the road on Nine Mile's Cottonwood Ridge lined with tents back in the 1950s, dozens and dozens of them. Hardly anyone had a camper or a trailer back then."
"Our vehicles were different, too." Spud smiled. "Four-wheel drive outfits were rare. There were a few army surplus jeeps around, but most pickup trucks were two-wheel drive with 15-inch tires. Everyone carried tire chains, sheepherder jacks and shovels."
"We didn't have ATVs either," I reminded him. "Horses and tote-goats were as good as it got. A tote-goat was a small motorcycle-type contraption with a tiny two-cycle gasoline engine and a chain drive like a bicycle. They were most famous for making lots of smoke and noise and rearing over backwards when you went up a hill."
"For years they closed Utah schools for the deer hunt," Spud smiled. "It was a big deal all over the state. Upwards of 250,000 deer permits were issued each year and checking stations showed that hunters enjoyed very high success rates."
"But there were deer everywhere," I offered.
"That's true," Spud concurred. "For 50 years Utah produced some of the biggest and best bucks ever taken, and lots of them. There was a time when a person could buy three or more deer tags in a single season. They even had special late season hunts to cull the herds and cut down on winterkills. During that time, half the population of California and Texas came to Utah to hunt deer. It was a big shot in the arm for Utah's economy."
"I remember driving through Nine Mile Canyon and counting hundreds of deer between Gate Canyon and Soldier Creek," I said.
"It was that way all over the state," Spud reminded. "The fish and game people offered special incentives to try to lure people to hunt on the Henry Mountains and Elk Ridge. People just wouldn't go there to hunt because it was too far away and they could always get a good deer closer to home."
"Things have sure changed," I said.
"That's true," he agreed. "Today we've got to travel a long ways to find a good buck."
"Where are you hunting this year?" he asked.
"I'm going to Wyoming," I said.
"I'm going to Colorado," Spud affirmed. "Next year I hope to draw for Arizona or Nevada."

LONDON (AP) — His career is in ruins and now an effigy of Lance Armstrong is about to go up in smoke.
The disgraced American cyclist has been chosen as the latest celebrity to be burned in effigy during an English town's nationally famous Bonfire Night celebrations.
Edenbridge in southeast England has built a 30-foot (9-meter) model of Armstrong, who was stripped recently of his seven Tour de France titles for doping offenses.
The effigy, to be burnt Saturday, sports a sign saying "For sale, racing bike, no longer required."
Towns across Britain light bonfires and set off fireworks on Nov. 5 to commemorate Guy Fawkes' failed plot in 1605 to blow up Parliament.
The bonfires are traditionally topped with an effigy of Fawkes but have been decorated with contemporary figures over recent years.
Previous Edenbridge effigies include comedian Russell Brand and soccer star Wayne Rooney.

Dee Roberts is a 24-year-old, African-American single mom struggling to make ends meet in a small Texas town. When cops arrest her in a drug sweep, she insists on her innocence. Even though Dee has no prior drug record and no drugs were found on her in the raid or any subsequent searches, she is offered a hellish choice: plead guilty and go home as a convicted felon or remain in prison and fight the charges thus, jeopardizing the custody of her children and risking a long prison sentence. She chooses to fight the district attorney and the unyielding criminal justice system he represents. Joined in an unlikely alliance with an ACLU attorney and former local narcotics officer, Dee risks everything in a battle that forever changes her life and the Texas justice system.

Before long, they were as big as Elvis or the Beatles would be after them, creating hysteria wherever they went and grabbing an unprecedented hold over every entertainment outlet of the era: radio, television, movies, stage shows, and nightclubs. Martin and Lewis were a national craze, an American institution. The millions (and the women) flowed in, seemingly without end, and then, on July 24, 1956, 10 years from the day when the two men joined forces, it all ended.
After that traumatic day, the two wouldn't speak again for 20 years. And while both went on to forge triumphant individual careers, Martin as a movie and television star, recording artist, and nightclub luminary (and charter member of the Rat Pack); Lewis as the groundbreaking writer, producer, director, and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies, their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as in each man's heart.
In a memoir by turns moving, tragic, and hilarious, Jerry Lewis recounts with crystal clarity every step of a 50-year friendship, from the springtime, 1945 afternoon when the two vibrant young performers destined to conquer the world together met on Broadway and 54th Street, to their tragic final encounter in the 1990s, when Lewis and his wife ran into Dean Martin, a broken and haunted old man.
©2005 Jerry Lewis; (P)2005 Books on Tape
"Fans will be surprised and entertained by Lewis' honesty and diminished ego and bitterness." (Publishers Weekly)
"You've got to listen to this!"
This is one of the 3 best audio books I've ever listened to - gripping, entertaining, and full of memories. If you've ever seen a Martin/Lewis movie, or remember either of the stars on TV or film, or even just watched the MDA fundraiser - you'll laugh out loud and sometimes tear up listening to this 50-year love story by Jerry Lewis. The narrator Stephen Hoye is phenomenal - his mimicry of Jerry's Jersey and "jerk" voicing, plus Dean Martin's soft mid-western/Italian, makes you feel like they are sitting right beside you. Hoye is so perfect in the reading I came back to Audible to look him up - I was convinced that Mr. Lewis must have picked the reader from the professional acting community, but Hoye has numerous books to his credit and I intend to seek out his readings (which I've never felt compelled to do before). The pacing is superb - there are no boring parts - you're engaged every minute. Mostly, this audiobook is a walk down memory lane - not only Dean and Jerry, but Sinatra and the Rat Pack, June Allyson, Marilyn Monroe, and many many more. Mr. Lewis seems to hold nothing back - including his own addiction to prescription painkillers, the tragedy of his son Gary and Dean Martin's son Dino, divorces, the acrimony of the act breaking up, the tearful reunions years later. Mr. Lewis is painfully honest, yet forgiving and compassionate in describing himself and all the others - giving us an open, often hilarious and sometimes teary behind-the scenes of two of the greatest names in comedy entertainment of our time. If you are younger than 40, you may not recognize many of the names, but that is a minor matter - you'll love this read anyway. Buy this audiobook. (I note there is an abridged version, but don't know why and haven't heard it. The unabridged is just over 8 hours to about 5 for the abridged. Get this one.)
"A fond remembrance"
The story of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, as only Jerry Lewis could tell it.
Along with the great anecdotes, and the meteoric rise and fall of their partnership and what made it work so well for 10 years, Jerry tells about Dino's real unrecognized comic genius, long overlooked by the critics until Dino and Jer went solo. It takes a real genius to play the straight man, and Dino was every bit as good as George Burns in that regard.
A must listen for fans of classic comedians and especially Martin & Lewis.
"A different sort of love story"
This really is a love story. Jerry Lewis speaks reverently and with great affection for his long time partner and good friend Dean Martin. From their humble beginnings to the height of their popularity in the 1950's to the tragic break ten years after they teamed up, Lewis hits all the highs and lows with vivid portraits, humerous anecdotes and most importantly a touching and loving portrait of the complex man that was Dean Martin. While Lewis is not at all modest (he seems to take credit for most of their successes), he still cops to his own demons and the effect they had on the partnership.It is so emotional at times this listener found herself in tears listening to the loss and pain the break brought both stars. Peppered with portraits of famous stars, mobsters and studio bossess, and narrated with an uncanny similarity to Lewis' voice,This audiobook is among my favorites, and it is a timely and lovely tribute to the great Dino.
"Great Book!"
Whether you just love Dean Martin's songs, have been captured by his persona or just want to know more about Dean and Jerry, this is a must hear. The book is very well done and provides information on Jerry and Dean's relationship from a suprising prespective. You will laugh, you will be surprised and you will cry. It well worth reading!
What an interesting and wonderfully done memoir. Some audiobooks, I find myself drifting away, but not this one. This one had my undivided attention throughout the whole book. Well worth listening to.
"Ten Stars!"
I loved this book! I have always been a fan of the Lewis and Martin team but this book gave them heart and soul. Jerry Lewis does not shy away from stating his love for Dean and there was nothing phony about his approach to their story. I've listened to it several times now and still think it is great. The narrator uses his voice beautifully to reflect accents and emotions throughout the book. Many thumbs up!
"before you purchase!!!"
Please..get the unabridged version, if only for the narrator, Stephen Hoye-he is magnificent and brings the characters to life, especially Jerry. Now that I've purchased and listened,curiosity led me back to the narrator sample of the abridged vesion. Suffice to say, I made the correct choice.
"Fabulous review of a Golden Age"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a golden time - 1946-1956 - and what a pair of performers. The book content was very interesting and the reader's voice capabilities added to the enjoyment. He came close to sounding like Jerry and Dean when he read their parts. I highly recommend the book to almost anyone but the strong language made it impossible for me to recommend it to my 89 year old mother.
"Great Book"
Enjoyed this book very much, more about the story of two friends that became too successful and forgot how they got there. The history and show biz names made this a very enjoyable and interesting listening experience.
"enjoyed very much"
Was very suprised, downloaded for my mother and thought I would give it a try. Was very pleased. The story was very good. Is worth a listen.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
Sitting in Ancelia Marchino's living room and talking to her was like being in a time machine and being transported back to a time before most of us were born. She turned 100 on Saturday.
Marchino was born in 1911 in Rovetta, Italy. She spent the first eight years of her life there being raised by her mother and father. She was the fifth generation to live in the stone house in Rovetta. Even more than ninety years later, the memories of that place come pouring out like warm cookies fresh out of the oven. It seemed much more fun for her to talk about the earliest years of her life than her later ones.
She began with stories of her youth in Italy and of the terrace and arbor her grandfather had made to grow grapes before he died. Then she wove a tale about her grandmother and mother using those grapes to try and make a small batch of wine during World War I. When it turned to grape vinegar instead, they gave it away to any of the 300 residents of the small village who wanted some. One day soldiers came bursting in with weapons to their home accusing the women of bootlegging the vinegar for sale. Vinegar was in high demand in the Italian military for an ingredient in ammunition at the time.
Marchino remembers hiding behind her mother as the older women showed the soldiers the little vat where they had stomped the grapes with their feet. The soldiers laughed and told them they were fine as long as they were giving it away and left.
She also relates that the bottom of the house was actually the barn. It was also the warmest portion of the home and the family kept it so clean that it doubled as a living room and a place to stay when the children were ill and needed to stay warm in the winter.
The village was up north and olive oil and chocolate were in short supply during the war. Southern Italy had plenty of olive oil, but up north they had to use common vegetable oil. The area was close to the Swiss border so the women sometimes headed up into the Alps to smuggle chocolate back to eat with their bread for a treat. Her mother went up at times to act as a lookout for the border guards. If they saw some coming they would hold up rakes to point to the groups from a distance the best way to avoid getting caught.
When she was still little, her father traveled to the United States to work as a stone mason in Yellowstone National Park. He left Italy because a general for the Italian Army, whom liked him a lot, warned him of the impending war and advised him that he might want to get out before it broke out. On his way through Rock Springs,, Wyo., he was offered work. After that he went off to Lava Springs to build a major hotel for a contractor. When it was finished the contractor stiffed him and left him holding the bill. He had built the family a home in Rock Springs and a banker offered to help him by taking the house and hotel bill in trade for a farm in Arimo, Idaho.
By then the family had come over. They had traveled by ship for a long period of time. On the voyage over the ship had engine trouble. She and her brothers were awoken early one morning by her mother and told they were holding a drill and to dress warm. The family was put in a life boat. During the day she could see a another boat in the distance and the two ships signaling back and forth with whistles. The life boats were lowered over the side. Finally the boats were pulled back up and they were able to get out and get something to eat. The crisis was over and they made it safely to New York. Other tales of adventure for the family as they negotiated there way from New York to Idaho are too numerous to tell in one sitting.
Marchino did not like Arimo. They did not speak English and no one stepped up to help them. The kids made fun of them and they could not go to school until they picked up enough English to satisfy the teachers. She did end up with a solid education and learned to type 150 words a minute on an old manual type writer.
Marchino also had to step up and take care of her youngest brother right after he was born because her mother was very ill and had to spend time in a Pocatello hospital for four months. Her father worked in the fields and traveled by train to see her weekly during that period so the kids had to take care of themselves. Her mother recovered and soon the family was sitting good, selling potatoes and also cream to the dairy in Pocatello to make ice cream.
Then the Depression hit and everyone stopped buying. Her father had 5,000 sacks of potatoes to sell. A broker came and said he would sell them on consignment for him. The broker came back with no money and told her father that he owed him freight. He ran him off with a shotgun. But they had a small mortgage on the farm to buy equipment over the years. Suddenly the farm was gone. Her father had signed papers that he couldn't read when he got his loan and the man who gave him the money for the equipment got the entire 185 acres for less that $3,000 in debt.
Homeless, the family headed to Utah to work the mines. When a job in the Italian-run Latuda fell through her father and brothers got on at the Greek mines. She thinks one of the places was the mine at Peerless. He also helped lay many of the rock walls still standing all over Helper.
Eventually she met her husband Mario while visiting friends and after two years they got married. He worked as a butcher in Helper for a while. The family grew and soon they had three children. There is Louise, John and Jerry.
Mario was a hard worker and he briefly moved the family to Canyon City, Colo.to work in the mines before returning to Helper and Carbonville to work as a butcher. They lived on the land that is now the Carbon Country Country Club in a small log cabin, eventually building a home on it.
The family scrimped and saved and was able to buy a service station in Carbonville that they ran from 1939-1952. It operated as one of the first convenience stores selling gas and groceries 365 days a year. The kids also helped at the service station. They scraped by during World War II when everyone had to use gas coupons just to get a gallon or two of gas. They sometimes got stiffed when people would fill up their tanks and they say they forgot their coupons and would bring them by next time. Mostly they never saw them again.
Eventually the family bought a motel on Price Main Street where the Subway sandwich shop currently stands. But once Price put up the stop light there, screeching tires from kids dragging Main and slamming on their brakes turned customers away. They sold that and bought the Crest Motel and restaurant that they ran until 1974 when they both retired.
They built a home in the Coves neighborhood. It was one of the very first in that area and is now surrounded by other houses. Mario struggled with his health over the years and eventually passed away. Marchino taught him to hook rugs while he was recuperating at the nursing homes. She was an avid crocheter and quilter. She has had to give that up as her eye sight is fading and arthritis has ravaged her hands.
But she is an avid Jazz fan. Sports have always shaped her life and she reminisced about listening to the radio back on the farm as early as 1915. She was supposed to go help in the fields and told her father she was sick so she could stay and listen to the world series. She loved the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mario brought their first radio in 1934 and they finally got a TV in 1954.
She also remembers the first car she ever saw. It was a red one owned by her uncle. She figures she was only about 28 months old at the time.
When she was little they also only cooked in fire places. When she saw her first stove she wasn't even sure what it was.
There are so many memories and so little time to hear them all. Her family has compiled some of the stories for future generations.
With all her family and friends helping her celebrate on Sunday, she welcomed in the first day of her second century of life.

(a) Whoever keeps, maintains, controls, supports, or harbors in any house or place for the purpose of prostitution, or for any other immoral purpose, any individual, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that the individual is an alien, shall file with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization a statement in writing setting forth the name of such individual, the place at which that individual is kept, and all facts as to the date of that individual's entry into the United States, the port through which that individual entered, that individual's age, nationality, and parentage, and concerning that individual's procuration to come to this country within the knowledge of such person; and
Whoever fails within five business days after commencing to keep, maintain, control, support, or harbor in any house or place for the purpose of prostitution, or for any other immoral purpose, any alien individual to file such statement concerning such alien individual with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization; or
Whoever knowingly and willfully states falsely or fails to disclose in such statement any fact within that person's knowledge or belief with reference to the age, nationality, or parentage of any such alien individual, or concerning that individual's procuration to come to this country—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
(b) In any prosecution brought under this section, if it appears that any such statement required is not on file in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, the person whose duty it is to file such statement shall be presumed to have failed to file said statement, unless such person or persons shall prove otherwise. No person shall be excused from furnishing the statement, as required by this section, on the ground or for the reason that the statement so required by that person, or the information therein contained, might tend to criminate that person or subject that person to a penalty or forfeiture, but no information contained in the statement or any evidence which is directly or indirectly derived from such information may be used against any person making such statement in any criminal case, except a prosecution for perjury, giving a false statement or otherwise failing to comply with this section.

PAWTUCKET – As his players danced to loud music while taking swigs of beer in the other room, Arnie Beyeler stood in the manager's office, his t-shirt completely soaked after several players cornered him near the visitors dugout and dumped beer all over him.
The fruits of victory are sweet if you're the Pawtucket Red Sox. The locals clinched the I.L. North Saturday night after rallying for a 12-7 victory past Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The division title is the franchise's first since 2003 and the fifth since 1991, when division play was introduced in the International League.
It was a night that went from promising to bleak back to promising, the roller coaster of emotions coming over the span of nine innings and 355 pitches. The PawSox vaulted out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning, the key blow a grand slam off the bat of Will Middlebrooks, his first at the Triple-A level.
The good times slowly wore off the game progressed. When Scranton's Doug Bernier blooped a two-run single down the right field line in the sixth inning, a feeling of "cork the champagne" descended upon McCoy Stadium. Bernier's single saw Scranton go from a run down to up 6-5.
Lehigh Valley had put the finishing touches on a 3-0 win when Pawtucket came to bat in the eighth. The magic number figured to remain at a lone game for another night with the IronPigs pulling to within one game of the PawSox with each club looking at two games remaining in the regular season.
Thankfully the PawSox still had time (and at-bats) on their side. Thankfully they had Ryan Lavarnway in the lineup.
Che-Hsuan Lin and Drew Sutton got on to begin the inning, setting the stage Lavarnway. The boast the catcher/DH has provided since coming aboard in mid-June cannot be understated, as Pawtucket stood two games over .500 (32-30).
A heart-of-the-order slugger who knows how to come through when the stakes are high, Lavarnway connected on a curveball and sent it into the flower bed for a game-changing, three-run home run. Lavarnway's home run was his 32nd of the season, his 18th in 61 games with Pawtucket.
The PawSox refused to stop there, however. With two outs and the bases loaded, Jose Iglesias jumped all over the first pitch and sent it into left field for a two-run single. The onslaught continued as newcomer Joey Gathright came to the plate with the bases still loaded. Gathright entered the game in the eighth as a pinch runner for Sutton and scored on Lavarnway's blast.
Gathright plated two more runs with a single, capping off an eighth that saw the home team put up a crooked number and bail out the bullpen on a night in which Junichi Tazawa surrendered two runs and Trever Miller allowed a run on two hits in 1 2/3 innings.
What made this comeback extra noteworthy is that the PawSox aren't known as a rallying bunch. Entering Saturday Pawtucket was 4-47 when trailing after seven.
You can now add another win – one that concluded with a championship celebration on the mound in which champagne was sprayed and t-shirts and caps were doled out.
"We haven't been able to pick up the pitching and the bullpen much this season," said outfielder Daniel Nava, "but given what was on the line for us, it was nice."
Here's some reaction from the clubhouse:
Arnie Beyeler, manager
"The guys the whole night. We kept grinding and were able to get the big hits. To come back like that is what these guys have been about all year."
The PawSox can now officially start to prepare for the second season, something that clearly wasn't lost on Beyeler.
"The way things work, our pitching is kind of set. As long as we didn't have to play a play-in game … we're just going to let guys keep on playing. We don't have that many players so guys have to play. Some of them are battling for situations to keep getting looked at up top (by Boston) and this is a time for them to keep going."
Jose Iglesias
"I told a couple of guys that this is the most memorable moment in my career. It's awesome. I won a championship in Cuba one time, but this is different. I'm glad to have this opportunity to go to the playoffs."
While the opponent is still unknown – either Lehigh Valley or Gwinnett will get into the four-team tournament as the wild-card entry, what is known is that the PawSox will hit the road when the playoffs open up this Wednesday. Pawtucket will play the first two games of the best-of-five first-round series on the road before returning to McCoy Stadium for Game 3 and possibly Games 4 and 5.

MADISON, Wis. -- First-year Wisconsin head coach Gary Andersen has completed his staff with the hiring of Chris Beatty as the Badgers' wide receivers coach, Andersen announced Thursday.Beatty, who has coaching experience in three major FBS conferences, comes to Madison after most recently serving as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Illinois in 2012."Chris has a great track record of taking care of young men and making sure they succeed academically, socially and athletically, which is always the top priority with me," Andersen said. "He has shown that he can recruit at the highest levels of Division I and been very successful at it. The experience he brings coaching wide receivers will be an asset to us. We are very excited to have him, his wife, Kris, and his son, Aaron, joining the Badger family."Prior to joining the Illini, Beatty coached wide receivers and served as offensive recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt in 2011. That followed a three-year stint as running backs and slot receivers coach at West Virginia from 2008-10, where he also served as the Mountaineers' director of recruiting.Beatty got his start at the FBS level as Northern Illinois' running backs coach in 2007, taking over for current Wisconsin assistant head coach Thomas Hammock, who held the running backs position with the Huskies from 2005-06.He began his college coaching career as the offensive coordinator at Hampton, where he also coached quarterbacks and wide receivers in 2006.Nine of Beatty's former players have gone on to the NFL, and he also has also mentored 13 all-conference performers.A 1994 graduate of East Tennessee State, where he was a standout wide receiver, Beatty played professionally in the Canadian Football League before becoming a successful high school coach in Virginia. He led Landstown High School to a 40-2 record from 2003-05 and won a state championship with a team that featured Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin.While at Vanderbilt, he helped the Commodores win the 2011 Liberty Bowl, and he was part of three straight bowl appearances during his time at West Virginia. His stint with the Mountaineers also included the 2010 Big East championship.While at West Virginia, Beatty coached running back Noel Devine, who rushed for more than 3,600 yards under Beatty's direction and earned a pair of All-Big East honors. He also helped guide Northern Illinois running back Justin Anderson rush for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore.In his first season as a college coach, Beatty directed Hampton to the 2006 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs. The Pirates ranked No. 7 in the FCS with an average of 34.7 points per game, with three of Beatty's wide receivers -- Dereck Faulkner, Onrea Jones and Marquay McDaniel -- eventually earning playing time in the NFL.

Is it any surprise that our tweeting, emailing, texting, and everything in between is leaving a trail of evidence behind us? After all, we live in a world where key logging technology can be purchased from almost anywhere. PureMobile offers unlocked phone, tablets and along with a myriad category of accessories to protect your mobile devices.
Not so long ago Apple was found to be keeping tabs on its iPhone users' whereabouts. Now the Android developer Trevor Eckart has come forward with this discovery: his HTC EVO 4G is tracking each keypress, message, and location - this begs for consumer education and choice as these privacy threats grow. Review unlocked phones to avoid potentially harmful limitations in choice.
This stealth software belongs to the company Carrier IQ. It records on millions of other droids - not just HTC users, but Nokia, Samsung and BlackBerry as well.
Carrier IQ's position is that it doesn't affect privacy concerns because; "Our technology is not real time. It's not constantly reporting back. It's gathering information up and is usually transmitted in small doses."
They also dispute Eckart's claim that his key presses were monitored, but with the use of a packet sniffer he was able to track each packet traveling to and from his stock EVO 4G. He was then able to show how each keypress on the numeric keyboard, his browsing data, and his SMS messages were tapped without his knowledge by Carrier IQ software.

|The United States Bureau of Reclamation is expected to release an environmental impact statement in the near future explaining the impact a newly built dam in the Gooseberry-Narrows area would have on the environment. The statement will be open to public comment and could determine the actions taken towards the building of the proposed structure in the area.
Sanpete's plan to build a dam in Gooseberry-Narrows area to supply water for agricultural producers in the county has surfaced numerous time only to be delayed.
Since the collapse of the Mammoth Dam in 1917, a second structure to store water has never been constructed in Gooseberry-Narrows. But the United States Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) has competed the federal agency's environmental impact statement on constructing a dam at the location in question.
In the next month or two, a the new environmental assessment on Sanpete's proposed water development project will be released to the public for comments. The response to the data compiled in the assessment and the federal agency's recommended actions could influence the decision about whether the structure should be built.
"Before 1987, Sanpete County had rights to 3,020 acre feet of water that they could and were diverting through a series of tunnels and ditches from the drainage," explained Carbon Commissioner Bill Krompel.
"In 1987, Carbon water authorities signed an agreement that Sanpete could take another 5,400 acre feet per year. Now, they want to build this dam so they can deliver this extra water," continued Krompel.
"The only thing is that we have no idea how much they are already taking out of that allotment with their current system because there are few gaging equipment stations on those waterways," indicated the Carbon commissioner.
Krompel recently submitted a letter to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation pointing out the problem regarding about how much water is actually being diverted by Sanpete County.
Krompel stated in the letter that, according to documents obtained from the Utah Water Engineer's Office, he estimated Sanpete County already, in wet and normal years, diverts 26,000 acre feet annually from the Emery-Carbon drainage.
However, Sanpete officials previously responded to a request from the reclamation bureau and estimated that the county diverts only 10,000 acre feet of water from the drainage per year.
"This is a situation where we need to know before anything else is done or a dam is even considered," emphasized the Carbon County commissioner.
"I am proposing that some money from a recently written BOR grant be used to put in automated gaging stations that can tell everyone exactly how much water is being taken over to the other side of the Wasatch Plateau," continued Krompel.
While no count of ditches and tunnels that create the present transmountain diversion routes, a 1978 document obtained from the states water engineer shows that the complex consists of 10 ditches, one pipeline and two canals. However that number could be in error because of the 25 years since the list was compiled.
"That's what I mean," states Krompel. "No one really knows how much water is going over there."
According to the Utah Rivers Council there are many reasons that the dam should be built at this site.
First, Sanpete County has not done all it can do to conserve water, particularly when it comes to irrigation canals.
Estimates from the council point out that twice as much water could be gained from the dam if canals were lined. This would prevent seepage loss.
Sanpete County is also becoming more urbanized with homes. Alfalfa is one of the most water thirsty crops grown and new homes are replacing these fields and will not use near the amount of water.
Carbon water users are concerned about water quality. If Scofield Reservoir's standard level is lowered, chances of water contamination increases. Therefore, the water would require treatment which is higly expensive.
The amount of water that comes down Fish Creek, if decreased, will also affect the fish habitat of the river.
BOR may force some ranchers off turf they have been using for generations to keep the water quality at a high level. These moves would also affect grazing rights around the current Scofield Reservoir.
In terms of cost per acre foot, this dam could be one of the most expensive built. It is estimated the dam would cost taxpayers $17 million.
According to the river council that means each acre foot delivered under the proposal to Sanpete County will cost $3700 per acre foot.
One of the other largest critics of the project is the Sierra Club which is concerned about several endangered fish species as well as "jeopardizing municipal water supplies" in Carbon County.
The environmental assessment that will soon be released will have a 60 day comment period. During that time the public will be able to submit written comments to BOR.

Michel Dyakonov's View on QC My view (based on Michel's drawing*)
Alexander Vlasov's view (based on Michel and Konstantin's drawing)
It has been a while since I devoted a post to quantum computation. Meanwhile, we had a cozy, almost private, easy-going, and very interesting discussion thread on my previous, March 2014 post (that featured my Simons Institute videotaped lectures (I,II).)
What can we learn from a failure of quantum computers?
Last week we had a workshop on "Quantum computing: achievable reality or unrealistic dream." This was a joint venture of the American Physics Society and the Racah Institute of Physics here at HUJI, organized by Professor Miron Ya. Amusia, and it featured me and Nadav Katz as the main speakers. Here are the slides of my lecture: What can we learn from a failure of quantum computers.
Noise Sensitivity and BosonSampling
Earlier, I gave a lecture in our CS colloquium about a recent work with Guy Kindler on noise sensitivity of BosonSampling. We show that for a constant level of noise, noisy BosonSampling can be approximated by bounded-depth computation, and that the correlation between the noisy outcome and the noiseless outcome tends to zero if the noise level is ω(1/n) where n is the number of bosons. Here is the paper Gaussian noise sensitivity and BosonSampling, the videotaped lecture Complexity and sensitivity of noisy BosonSampling, and the slides of the lecture.
Contagious error sources would need time travel to prevent quantum computation
On the positive side, Greg Kuperberg and I wrote a paper Contagious error sources would need time travel to prevent quantum computation showing that for a large class of correlated noise, (teleportation-based) quantum fault-tolerance works! Greg and I have had a decade-long email discussion (over 2000 emails) regarding quantum computers, and this work grew from our 2009 discussion (about my "smoothed Lindblad evolution" model), and heavily relies on ideas of Manny Knill.
Nadav Katz: Quantum information science – the state of the art
Some years ago, two brilliant experimentalists, Hagai Eisenberg and Nadav Katz, joined the already strong, mainly theoretical, quantum information group here at HUJI. Nadav Katz gave the second lecture in the workshop, and here are the slides of Nadav's lecture: Quantum information science – the state of the art.
Experimental progress toward stable encoded qubits
Also very much on the positive side, Nadav mentioned a remarkable recent progress by the Martini's group showing certain encoded states based on 9 physical qubits which are order-of-magnitude (factor 8.4, to be precise,) more stable than the "raw" qubits used for creating them !!
Here is a link to the paper: State preservation by repetitive error detection in a superconducting quantum circuit, by J. Kelly, R. Barends, A. G. Fowler, A. Megrant, E. Jeffrey, T. C. White, D. Sank, J. Y. Mutus, B. Campbell, Yu Chen, Z. Chen, B. Chiaro, A. Dunsworth, I.-C. Hoi, C. Neill, P. J. J. O'Malley, C. Quintana, P. Roushan, A. Vainsencher, J. Wenner, A. N. Cleland, and John M. Martinis.
Update: Further comments on a Shtetl-optimized post (especially a comment by Graeme Smith,) help to place the new achievement of the Martinis group within the seven smilestones toward quantum computers from a 2012 Science paper by Schoelkopf and Devoret, originated by David DiVincenzo's 2000 paper "The physical implementation of quantum computation". (You can watch these milestone here also .)
The new achievement of having a very robust realization of certain encoded states can be seen as achieving the 3.5 milestone. The difference between the 3.5th milestone and the 4th milestone plays a central role in the seventh post of my 2012-debate with Aram Harrow in connection with a conjecture I made in the first post ("Conjecture 1″). Aram made the point that classical error-correction can lead to very stable encoded qubits in certain states (which is essentially the 3.5 milestone). I gave a formal description of the conjecture, which essentially asserts that the 4th milestone, namely insisting that encoded qubits allows arbitrary superpositions, cannot be reached. As I said many times (see, for example, the discussion in my 2012 Simons Institute videotaped lecture 2), a convincing demonstration of the 4th milestone, namely implementation of quantum error-correction with encoded qubits which are substantially more stable than the raw qubits (and allow arbitrary superposition for the encoded qubit) will disprove my conjectures. Such stable encoded qubits are expected from implementations of distance-5 surface code. So we are 0.5 milestones away :)
I will be impressed to see even a realization of distance-3 (or distance-5) surface code that will give good quality encoded qubits, even if the encoded qubits will have a quality which is somewhat worse than that of the raw qubits used for the encoding. These experiments, including those that were already carried out, also give various other opportunities to test my conjectures.
Peter Shor's challenge #1 and my predictions from the failure of quantum computation
My lecture on predictions from the failure of QC is based on two lengthy recent comments (first, second) regarding predictions from the failure of quantum computers. On April 2014, Peter Shor challenged me with the following: Continue reading

I have heard that you can enlist in the National Guard and then receive a nomination to attend West Point I was wondering how you go about doing this. And is there a time requirement I would need to stay in the National Guard for before I could attend West Point?

Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Kind of.
There is no difference in your application to USMA & it is no easier to get in. Being in the guard is no different in your application than some other extracurricular activity. It's good, but it won't get you in if you don't have the grades or a lot of other stuff to go with it.
The two ways of doing it from the guard is you can go with a 368 (conditional release from the guard contingent on your acceptance to USMA). That means you're discharged from the guard & enter USMA just like any other civilian. Or, you can remain obligated to your state so that after you finish you would come back to that state as an officer when you commission. That's a lot less common & more complicated. Generally you're just going to be released.
Gist of that being, the guard can help build your resume, but it is NOT a shortcut.

There are. The real advantage if you're selected for this program is you do not need to compete for a nomination from a Congressman or Senator. These appointments come from SEC Army.Last edited by SFC_Wilson; April 12th, 2011, 02:28 PM.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
^There you go. Says 85 slots for Reserve & guard combined.
I'll tell you right now I'm not an expert on getting soldiers from the guard to a service academy. I worked with a kid recently that went from air guard to AF Academy, and I've helped 18 kids get into service academies from the civilian side in 15 years, but I've never worked with anyone that went Army guard to any service academy.
An academy regional recruiting officer is who you need to talk to for the best information. I'm just trying to tell you to be realistic about it. I don't want you to think the guard is a loop hole to get you in if you're not otherwise qualified. I do very much hope it works out for you though. If there's any way we can help, please let us know.Last edited by dnall; May 26th, 2009, 06:35 PM.

No offense to you, but you just was shown to be wrong again. Dont shoot off your opinion unless your absoloutely certain you are correct. If there is 85 dedcated slots for NG soldiers in USMA, then the Gurad is not just "another" extracuricula activity.
Second, right or wrong, all of these gentlemen are valuable resources and ought to be appreciated as such. More to the point, on issues like this one, there is rarely a clear-cut right or wrong answer. There's the regulation, of course; then there's tradition, varying state by state and unit by unit; and then there's how things actually work in the real world. Hearing different answers takes all of that into account.
Third - he's not wrong. You just suffer from weak reading comprehension. His point is correct: National Guard service doesn't give you any guarantees - and of course it carries its own obligation. The fact that spaces are set aside for NG members is common sense; of course they have a quota. But that doesn't lower standards for Guard members.
To the OP: my advice would just be to be careful. Your Guard commitment will be an actual obligation. I'm not a big fan of joining one thing as a stepping stone to another ... unless you're really okay if your plan doesn't work out. If you just want to serve, and don't mind a Guard enlistment if West Point doesn't happen ... great.
If West Point is your entire goal ... I'd concentrate on that. Just my pair of pesos.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Reach for the stars, but have something soft to land on. West Point is one of the more competitive colleges to get in to; many more people do not get in than do get in. So do not join the National Guard unless you'd be happy with "just" being in the National Guard.
To be a competitive applicant, you should have a GPA over 3.5, an SAT of over 1280, and be in the top 20% of your high school class (most colleges don't care about your rank against your peers but West Point does).
You can still have a shot of getting in a little weaker in one of these areas than others, but unless you have a very strong application like the numbers above, do not expect being in the National Guard to make up for academic shortcomings.
Best of luck with your application...
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Soldiers must be recommended by their company (or higher) commanders. The Secretary of the Army
annually is allocated 85 cadetships at West Point to be filled by RA soldiers and 85 cadetships to be filled by
USAR and ARNG Soldiers.
Check this out:
Additionally, but not
required, enlisted applicants with SAT scores > 1050 (older SAT) or > 1500 on new SAT, or ACT scores > 22, who
graduated in the top 40% of their high school class, and have a GT score > 114 are encouraged to apply.
It sounds to me as if they need applicants. 22 and 1050 are not high scores at all. top 40% that's certainly doable.
I think kids who are thinking about joining the guard as a junior in high school need to look at this.(you have to have completed basic, so if you have already finished basic before you apply, I'm thinking your application will look better)
I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying as long as you are going to college anyway, you should compare your scores, and if you have these scores apply. The memo goes on to say they are filling slots at the USMA prep school for students who need some help with some of their qualifications. The prep school is 10 months of active duty. Big $$ for somebody fresh out of high school.
If you were to get in the prep school and didn't make it, that's good to know you weren't cut out for that, you go back to the Guard and college, you haven't lost anything except for 10 months, you've gained 10 months of probably some of the best training in your life.
This is very interesting.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
If you follow the link, it says 85 slots for RA & 85 for guard & reserve, meaning combined.
This application, just like the one for civilians (which is the same minus a form & letter of rec signed by your CO), is an open process. The recommended scores are pretty much the minimum qualifications. How much higher than that they need to be is based on the balance of the rest of your qualifications.
The only thing this does is give you a shot at a nomination, versus having to get a congressional nomination as a civilian. Congressional nominations are relatively easy to get. You just apply to the congressperson's office & they are looking for the same qualification criteria to ensure you are competitive, and they will nominate the two best candidates that apply to them for each academy.
The way to utilize this program is to apply as a civilian applicant out of high school just like everyone else. Then if you don't get in and still want to take a second shot before going on to civilian college, then that's where you enlist & apply for this.
In terms of your application being looked at by the admissions board, I would not rate a year of enlisted service as more or less than having been captain of the high school football team or four years of JROTC or winning the state science fair or volunteering as a youth leader at your church. The guard is a good thing for the resume, but it doesn't shortcut your way in past tens of thousands of actually qualified applicants.

Look up the average stats for acceptance at West Point and you'll find about 1280 on the old SAT, a 3.6/3.7 GPA, and top 20% of school. If you have anything less, you're looking at an uphill slog.
Join the Guard because you have a passion to serve in the Guard. Joining because you think you will get some back door in to West Point will make you unhappy and your unit unhappy.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
"Congressional nominations are relatively easy to get."
This I did not know. I have only heard stories, but I was under the impression that the academies were extremely interested in people who were starters in varsity sports at the very least, and that they actually preferred captains of teams.
So if we're talking an average athlete who stopped playing sports after the
10th grade or so, who has top 20% class rank, who has 27ish, 1300ish scores, can get a nomination?

If 1280 is average, then you have people above and below that number. Those numbers could be 1260, 1270, 1280, 1290, & 1300 or they could be 1100, 1210, 1320, 1380, & 1390. Both get you to 1280.
Are your chances better if you are over those averages? Sure. But if you meet the minimums, then they will consider you. Your competition might be tougher or easier, but it depends on who applies.
Don't second guess yourself out of trying. A majority of the people with high SAT scores might not score as well on the physical aptitude. Or they may not have been part of many other activities in High School. Or perhaps you have some other quality that is unique and is viewed as advantageous by the selection board. The list goes on and on. But the fact remains, you won't know until you follow the process.
As far as your initial question about Guard to West Point, the most important consideration has been reiterated several times. Join the Guard because you want to join the Guard. If you have reservations about the Guard, apply through the congressional process and see what happens.
Being part of the Guard as you apply can be a safety net or a choke collar, it all depends on who you are and how you view it.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Originally posted by GroundPounder42While I agree with the fact that someone should shoot to be above average, don't forget that AVERAGE means that all the datapoints are added together and the sum divided by the total number of datapoints.
The further you are from average, the less likely the odds. You're right that it's impossible to say what your chances are (especially without having a standard deviation from the average), but if you have a very average GPA and SAT and nothing setting their application apart, you should file West Point as a "reach" school, just like you would an Ivy or near-Ivy.
Everybody has a shot at getting in to Harvard too, but a guy like me shouldn't start saving up airfare anytime soon.

Like I said, reach for the stars. Getting in to West Point is a phenomenal accomplishment. But part of the reason it's such an accomplishment is that it's one of the most competitive schools to get in to. Have a strong app and go for it. If you have a weak app, sure, give it a shot, but do not do make any life-changing decisions based on getting in. Such as joining the National Guard to polish your app.
My hat is off to those applying to schools like West Point. The fact that you are even doing so shows a level of motivation I definitely didn't have when it was my time.Last edited by notyetdead; May 27th, 2009, 02:15 PM.
Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Originally posted by notyetdeadEvery West Point acceptee I've known has had strong grades, strong SAT, great leadership and at least good physical shape. Maybe I'm missing the slob contingency, but I doubt many exist.
My initial comment was:

I spotlighted SAT, but the same is true for each of the selection criteria. As mentioned, the Army is looking for the entire package. Brains, brawn, leadership, ethics, everything. But if enough candidates with everything can't be identified, they begin looking for those who are close, who can be molded.

Re: Enlisted to West Point?
Thank you for the responses. I have started my regular application to West Point but I feel my grades are at the minimum they should be. For instance I have a 3.3 GPA and I received a 1580 on my SAT's (all three sections). I have considered that I may not earn a spot at West Point. But if I do not attend West Point I hope that I could compete for an ROTC scholarship elsewhere with the National Guards help.Last edited by Dgreen92; May 27th, 2009, 04:19 PM.

POTSDAM The Massena girls basketball team got defensive about reclaiming the Section 10 Class A championship Monday.
By the time the Red Raiders battle was through, they had defeated the Malone Huskies, 41-36, in the final at SUNY Potsdams Jerry Welsh Gymnasium.
Malone is very well coached and they are a well-disciplined team. This was definitely a defensive battle, said Massena coach Roy Thomas after his team defended its sectional title. Both teams did a great job of taking away the other teams strengths.
Both teams made a lot of mistakes on offense and some of that had to do with the way they were playing defense. We struggled offensively but we managed to score five more points than they did and thats all that matters. he added.
With the win, the Raiders improved to 12-7 on the season. Along with earning a berth to state Class A tournament, they advanced to the Section 10 overall tournament semifinals slated for next Tuesday night at SUNY Potsdam.
On a night when points were hard to come by, Massenas Alisha Jacobs led all scorers with 15 points and also emerged as the leading rebounder with 11. Marissa Manley tossed in another 10 points and pulled down eight rebounds. Sidney Thompson chipped in eight points. Dominque Valancius added four steals while Steffanie Premo distributed five assists.
We have seven seniors on the team and I think that experience was a factor, Thomas said. We beat Malone in the championship game last year and we had most of our players back. We also won our two regular season games this year. That gave us even more confidence but at the same time we didnt want to be overconfident because we knew Malone was a capable team.
Janelle Heden anchored the Malone scoresheet with 12 points on four 3-pointers. She also had six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Morgan Fountain, who opened the game with a 3-pointer from the top of the key, finished with 11 points, eight boards and four steals. Rachel Lamica netted eight points and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.
The two teams were tied at 14-14 before Manley drained a pair of free throws to put Massena ahead. Jacobs then capped the 10-0 run with a 3-pointer with 1 minute, 6 seconds left in the half and the Raiders went on take a 21-16 lead into halftime.
The Huskies opened the final quarter with a 9-2 run that cut the Massena lead to 33-30 with 4:37 remaining. The teams then exchanged baskets through the next two minutes and a field goal by Fountain made it 39-36 with 38 seconds left. After seeing teammates miss two straight free throws, Thompson calmly stepped up and swished through a pair of foul shots with 20 seconds left to seal the win.
Its tough to beat a team three times in the same year, Manley said. Winning Class A last year and winning the two games this year gave us confidence. Malone made it tough to score but we found a way.
Malone finished its season at 11-8, but coach Shelly Skelly sees a brighter future for a team that featured only one senior.
We had a very young team this year and when you have a young team likes there, theyre going to make mistakes, she said. The key is learning from those mistakes and we did that a lot this year.
We talk a lot about climbing the ladder and trying to get better. Hopefully, the girls will keep working on basketball this summer and well come back stronger next season.

Zone Oneby Colson Whitehead
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a pandemic has devastated the planet. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead.
Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuilding civilization under orders from the provisional government based in Buffalo. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street — aka Zone One — but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety — the "malfunctioning" stragglers, who exist in a catatonic state, transfixed by their former lives.
Mark Spitz is a member of one of the civilian teams working in lower Manhattan. Alternating between flashbacks of Spitz's desperate fight for survival during the worst of the outbreak and his present narrative, the novel unfolds over three surreal days, as it depicts the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder, and the impossible job of coming to grips with the fallen world.
And then things start to go wrong.
Both spine chilling and playfully cerebral, Zone One brilliantly subverts the genre's conventions and deconstructs the zombie myth for the twenty-first century.
"While the revolution will not be televised, the apocalypse and what comes after, at least according to Whitehead (Sag Harbor), will have sponsors. It will even have an anthem, the brilliantly self-referential 'Stop! Can You Hear the Eagle Roar?' (theme from Reconstruction). As we follow New Yorker and perpetual B-student 'Mark Spitz' over three harrowing days, Whitehead dumpster dives genre tropes, using what he wants and leaving the rest to rot, turning what could have been another zombie-pocalypse gore-fest into the kind of smart, funny, pop culture — filled tale that would make George Romero proud. While many stories in this genre are set in a devastated nowheresville, Whitehead plants his narrative firmly in New York City, penning a love letter to a Manhattan still recognizable after the event referred to only as 'Last Night.' Far from the solemn affair so often imagined, the apocalypse in Whitehead's hands is filled with the kind of dark humor one imagines actual survivors adopting in order to stave off madness. The author sometimes lets the set pieces he's so good at run long, but otherwise succeeds brilliantly with a fresh take on survival, grief, 9/11, AIDS, global warming, nuclear holocaust, Katrina, Abu Ghraib, Pol Pot's Year Zero, Missouri tornadoes, and the many other disasters both natural and not that keep a stranglehold on our fears and dreams. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"The best book of the fall...provides the chilling, fleshy pleasures of zombies who lurch, pursue, hunger...while brilliantly reformulating an old-hat genre." Esquire
"[Whitehead] takes the genre of horror fiction, mines both its sense of humor and self-seriousness, and emerges with a brilliant allegory of New York living." New York Observer
"Highbrow novelist Colson Whitehead plunges into the unstoppable zombie genre in this subtle meditation on loss and love in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which has become the city that never dies." USA Today
"For-real literary — gory, lyrical, human, precise." GQ
"A satirist so playful that you often don't even feel his scalpel, Whitehead toys with the shards of contemporary culture with an infectious glee. Here he upends the tropes of the zombie story in the canyons of lower Manhattan. Horror has rarely been so unsettling, and never so grimly funny." The Daily Beast
"Whitehead's uncommonly assured style and his observational gifts make the book a pleasure to read." Newsweek
"Colson Whitehead's Zone One isn't your typical zombie novel; it trades fright-night fodder for empathy and chilling realism...yielding a haunting portrait of a lonely, desolate, and uncertain city." Elle
"This diabolically smart, covertly sensitive, ruminative, and witty zombie nightmare prods us to think about how we dehumanize others, how society tramples and consumes individuals, how flimsy our notions of law and order are, and how easily deluded and profoundly vulnerable humankind is. A deft, wily, and unnerving blend of pulse-elevating action and sniper-precise satire." Booklist, starred review
"[Whitehead] sinks his teeth into a popular format and emerges with a literary feast, producing his most compulsively readable work to date...Whitehead transforms the zombie novel into an allegory of contemporary Manhattan (and, by extension, America)." Kirkus (starred review)
"Zone One is not the work of a serious novelist slumming it with some genre-novel cash-in, but rather a lovely piece of writing...Whitehead picks at our nervousness about order's thin grip, suggesting just how flimsy the societal walls are that make possible our hopes and dreams and overly complicated coffee orders. Pretty scary." Entertainment Weekly
"What's most surprising about Zone One is how subtly [Whitehead] reanimates those old body parts for a post-9/11 world. Although the ambling, rotting hordes are still here, this is a night of the living dead lit by melancholy and nostalgia rather than violence and terror. Horror fans hungry for new thrills may find too little meat on these bones...but now that zombies have infected everyone from Jane Austen to the above-average folks at Lake Wobegon, perhaps quieter reflection is in order....Readers who wouldn't ordinarily creep into a novel festooned with putrid flesh might be lured by this certifiably hip writer who can spin gore into macabre poetry." Ron Charles, The Washington Post
