LOWVILLE Starting at the end of next week, Lewis County pistol permit applications will be handled at the county clerks office, not the Sheriffs Department.
Its going to be more efficient, Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli said.
The impetus for the move is the coming retirement of Cynthia A. Robbins, who runs the sheriffs pistol permit office at the Public Safety Building on outer Stowe Street.
Rather than refill the part-time position, the sheriff worked with County Clerk Douglas P. Hanno to shift the application site to his office on the first floor of the county office building on North State Street.
Along with some cost savings, the move will allow residents to apply for pistol permits every weekday, rather than just Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays as they can now, Sheriff Carpinelli said.
Its going to operate the same as it did up here, he said.
The final day to apply for permits at the sheriffs office will be Monday, officials said.
After that, the camera for photo identification cards and other equipment will be moved downtown to the clerks office, with tentative plans to begin selling permits from there on March 29.
Hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday.
Were going to utilize all the staff so people can get better service, Mr. Hanno said.
Roughly half the counties in the state, including St. Lawrence, handle pistol permits through their clerks offices, Mr. Hanno said, noting permit information is filed in his office already.
However, he cautioned that staff members likely will have a learning curve for handling the additional applications.
We hope people will be patient with us, Mr. Hanno said.
Anyone with questions may call the clerks office at 376-5333.
Sheriff Carpinelli said that his office still will handle any needed background checks and that he still will be available to talk with residents about permit issues, along with implications of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act passed earlier this year.
While passage of the NY SAFE Act had nothing to do with the switch, the sheriff said, it has led to an increase in pistol permit applications.
Several hundred of the more than 4,000 permit-holders in the county also have filed opt out forms at the clerks office to exempt their personal information from Freedom of Information Law requests, Mr. Hanno said.
Once a pistol permit holder has been protected under the NY SAFE Act from FOIL requests, the public will not have access to their names or addresses. However, law enforcement officials still will have access to the records.

MASSENA - The Massena Central School District is hoping to hear by the end of January or beginning of February if theyll be receiving $135,000 a year - $675,000 total - for a five-year 21st Century Community Learning Center program that would provide after-school and summer college activities for some students.
The district is working with the St. Lawrence County Youth Bureau to procure the funding through the state Education Department. The grant would fund programs to help some of the communitys most at-risk elementary school students in grades three through six.
Youth Bureau Director Joanne Sevick told board of education members Thursday night that they learned about the grant in November, and she has been working with district Curriculum Director Sarah Boyce on the application.
Joanne approached us to apply for the grant, Superintendent Roger B. Clough II said.
We decided we would move forward, Ms. Sevick said.
If the district receives the fund, they will be the lead agency, she said.
Its very competitive. Theyre really giving priority to priority schools and focus schools, according to Ms. Sevick.
The districts proposal seeks $135,000 a year for five years to support an extended school day program and summer college for the students in grades three through six.
Well target 30 students from each of the three elementary schools, she said.
During the school year, the students would meet from 3 to 5 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from September through May. Summer college would also be available for the students, Ms. Sevick said. The program would include tutoring, mentoring and counseling, as well as a recreational component, summer enrichment, service coordination, truancy prevention, family development, STEM (science/technology/engineer/math) and service learning, she told board members.
Elementary school administrators would recommend students who are not meeting proficiency standards and/or at risk of academic failure.
Ms. Sevick said the grant would fully pay for staff, teaching supplies, transportation, and maintenance and operation costs.
It will be aligned with the common core and will be under Sarahs direction. Its very flexible how you could design the grant, she said.
The review stage for the grant proposal will likely be at the end of January or early February, according to the youth bureau director, who said if they were successful they could begin a summer college program in July.
Mr. Clough applauded the support the district had received from the St. Lawrence County Youth Bureau.
We have been a partner for many initiatives. Joanne and the Youth Bureau have been faithful supporters of our school district through programs such as the Youth Conservation Corps and by providing a teacher assistant liaison in out alt. ed. (alternative education) program, he said. I am encouraged by the way this has come together and am hoping to hear we will receive the funding.

There are a number of contested town offices across Jefferson County on Tuesdays ballots.
In the race for Theresa town supervisor, Democrat Howard C. Schnettler Jr. faces Republican Steven Marcinkowski for a four-year term, while four candidates are vying for two town justice openings.
After serving five years, Supervisor Clinton A. Coolidge will step down Dec. 3.
Mr. Marcinkowski, 46, has been chairman of the town Planning Board for the past two years. As supervisor, he said, he would fight to ensure residential property taxes arent raised.
Mr. Marcinkowski would also like to see the town spearhead more initiatives to lure businesses to the area by collaborating with the village.
He earned an associates degree in mortuary science from the Simmons Institute of Funeral Service, Syracuse, in 1987.
Mr. Schnettler, 60, is a water-meter maintenance mechanic for the Watertown Water Department, where hes worked for the past 29 years. He is on the Board of Trustees for the village of Theresa, a position hes held for about 14 years.
Mr. Schnettler ran for supervisor four years ago against Mr. Coolidge. The Democrat was encouraged to run again by Jefferson County legislator Allen T. Drake, D-Theresa, a former town supervisor.
Id like to see more cooperation between the village and the town, and thats the main thrust of why Im running, he said.
He said recruiting a senior living facility to set up shop in Theresa, for example, could be a project leaders could cooperate on.
Residents will vote for two out of four candidates who are running for four-year terms as town justice: incumbent Democrat Roger K. Duvall, Democrat Rachel A. Roberts, and Republicans Edward J. Klepacz and Leonard A. Simpson. The second vacant seat was created when former Justice Alan F. Whitcomb resigned about three months ago.
Pamelia write-in
In Pamelia, Republican Scott J. Allen was defeated by Pamelia Supervisor Lawrence C. Longway in Septembers primary election but hopes to have a second chance as a write-in candidate
Mr. Longway will be listed as an uncontested candidate on Tuesdays election ballot, but Mr. Allen mailed a letter to residents last week in an attempt to forge a last-minute write-in campaign.
The letter, which includes the phrase Longway is the wrong way, makes reference to previous allegations that Mr. Longway no longer was eligible to vote in New York state after claiming to be a permanent resident of Hillsborough County, Fla., where he has a home. The Jefferson County Board of Elections, which investigated the matter for two weeks, ruled that Mr. Longway is a registered state voter.
Since January, Mr. Longway has claimed a commercial building in Pamelia that he owns as his primary residence: Long-Park Tire at 23751 Route 342. The town of Pamelia does not have a zoning law prohibiting residents from living in commercial buildings.
Mr. Longway defeated Mr. Allen 149-94 in Septembers primary election.
Facing off for the town clerk/tax collector position in Pamelia will be Republican Allison M. Couse and Democrat Gwen E. Call.
other races
n Wilna: Francis M. Skvorak, Susan E. Storms and James F. Rogers are competing for two Town Council positions. Mr. Skvorak and Mrs. Storms are incumbents, with Mrs. Storms having been appointed to fill the seat of her husband, Michael, who died April 6.
n Hounsfield: A three-person race is set for two seats on the Town Council, with one of those made vacant by the departure of Vincent J. Battista III to run for mayor of Sackets Harbor. Incumbent Republican Todd R. Farrington is joined on the ballot by Democrats Carson D. Lennox and Timothy R. Queior.
n Sackets Harbor: In the village, Mr. Battista is running unopposed for mayor. In the race for village Board of Trustees, incumbent Republicans Daniel E. Frechette and Peter R. Daly are competing with Democrat Corry J. Lawler for two seats.
n Lorraine: Four people are running for two spots on the Town Council. Republican Deputy Supervisor David D. Johnson is joined in the race by Democrats Virginia Faye Clemens and Alfred Elliott, along with For the People Party candidate Stephen J. Pierson.

eDiscovery & Intelligent
Information Governance
Make Information Accessible to the Right People at the Right Time
Knowledge is power, but only if you can capture it. In most organizations, information is growing in volume, and growing increasingly complex and unruly in the process. ZyLAB software and services make huge volumes of disparate information—or targeted selections of data—accessible to the right people at the right time.
ZyLAB software harvests and indexes the data from any storage source and any file format—even Microsoft SharePoint and social media networks outside your firewall – so that you can harness the information for your specific need. The standard functionality of the ZyLAB Information Management Platform can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Relevant Information Simply Can't Hide from ZyLAB
Important patterns, proof, or exculpatory evidence may be obscured within your data. Searching for a defined keyword is easy, but what if you don't know what you are looking for? ZyLAB technology includes the industry's most powerful text mining and semantic search to extract facts, entities, names, code words, synonyms, concepts, and basically, "what you didn't know you didn't know."
ZyLAB software supports more than 200 tried-and-true expressions such as dates, addresses, credit card numbers, and Social Security Numbers so that you can pinpoint actual values to review in context or to become the defined keyword for subsequent research. Likewise, documents can be enriched with valuable contextual metadata. The standard functionality of the ZyLAB Analytics Bundle can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Make your Information Equally Accessible 100 Years from Now
Enterprise information is at the center of two diametric forces: the volume is expanding out of control, yet there are unprecedented expectations to retain it and harness it in the future. ZyLAB makes your burgeoning content digitally-sustainable and fully-searchable in a scalable, database-free archive.
The Open Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the de facto archiving format (native files are always preserved!) for ZyLAB software systems. XML is a non-proprietary format that enriches your content with valuable metadata such as custom key fields, OCR data, translations, and content analytics. The format liberates your data from expensive licensed databases that have finite storage space and infinite upgrades to which your data must adapt.
On the contrary, your ZyLAB XML-based archive resides on the file system of your choice, it never has to be converted in the future, and its content is equally accessible 100 years from now as it is today. That's why the National Archives—and ZyLAB—standardize on XML.
Simplify and Accelerate the Process of Organizing Your Information
In this fast-paced world nobody has time to manually collate and organize the accumulated volumes of information. ZyLAB technology automatically categorizes content based on the classifications and filing rules defined by the users.
Our software interprets various aspects of metadata, such as file type, author, created date, or the searchable key fields we can generate, and then folders the content accordingly. Our clients can also auto-tag files for a particular folder based on query hits. Subsequently, a variation of predictive coding can be performed by the system on identical or similar documents to enable efficient, non-linear legal review.
The standard functionality of the ZyLAB Information Management Platform can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
ZyLAB offers OCR software tools and OCR services
Despite the explosion of electronic content, vast amounts of information assets remain in paper format and essentially invisible to the type of research and investigation conducted today. ZyLAB makes scanned and graphical content just as usable as native electronically stored information (ESI).
The ZyLAB professional services team can digitize contracts, schematics, charts, faxes or similar hardcopy material for you, or you can use the ZyLAB OCR Scanning & Digital Copier Bundle to do it yourself. In either case, the content of every file will become searchable (OCR'd) and searchable metadata will be added to simulate the file and document properties that are associated with standard electronic files.
The standard functionality of the ZyLAB OCR Scanning & Digital Copier Bundle can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Easily Output Data for Review by External Parties
Enterprise data may be subject to disclosure for any number of reasons, and each of those scenarios may involve unique requirements for format, layout, and privacy. ZyLAB includes myriad options for preparing your data set for distribution externally.
Your ZyLAB software can add Bates stamps and other unique identifiers to documents, enable condensed printing (multiple pages per printed page), output data into any standard delivery format (e.g., EDRM XML, TIFF, PDF), and compile all of the selected content on a searchable DVD. Likewise, ZyLAB's output files can be accompanied by load files for popular software products like Concordance and Summation.
The standard functionality of the ZyLAB TIFF Archiving & Production Bundle can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Route Documents Through Internal Systems and Track Progress
Some enterprise content warrants an official process for drafting new content and incorporating it into the records management system. ZyLAB facilitates a consistent process for the intake, execution, tracking, renewal, and termination of legally-binding agreements of all types, including customer orders, supplier terms, strategic partner agreements, or even employment agreements.
Every ZyLAB intake interface can be customized with the key fields that are relevant to your business process. And our related Workflow technology enables the intake administrator to route documents for review, approval, and filing, and they can schedule subsequent alerts for required actions. An executive dashboard provides a snapshot of the status and value of the agreements, extensive audit trails, and assurance that legal, security, and financial risk is minimized.
Gain Complete Insight into the Nature of the Information on Your Network
Computer forensics experts and legal professionals need to verify chain-of-custody and that potentially relevant information, such as exonerating evidence or proof of wrong-doing, has not been improperly distributed, destroyed, or altered in any way. ZyLAB generates custom reports and audit logs to give you a clear view of every action that has been taken on every email, Tweet, contract, video, or report in your ZyLAB archive.
ZyLAB's extensive near real-time monitoring and auditing mechanisms track every action in the system and provide you with interactive reports on the data relevant to your line of work.
The standard functionality of the ZyLAB Information Management Platform can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Automatically Separate the Wheat from the Chaff in Your File Systems
Your collective data archives may possess a wealth of insight (or exonerating evidence), but separating the wheat from the chaff can be an exercise in futility when compound files, nested emails, duplicates, and system files get in the way. ZyLAB software makes it possible to remove the distractions and harvest the substance.
ZyLAB software offers robust, automated processes to cull your NIST files, de-duplicate the collection, and peel back the outer layers on complex files so that you can access the content and properties that are inside. The newly-uniform files can then be indexed, enriched, converted to fully searchable content, and automatically categorized based on defining characteristics.
The standard functionality of the ZyLAB Information Management Platform can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Lock-down Content to Prevent Improper Modifications to Important Records or Evidence
Even secure server farms with 24/7 high-tech surveillance fall short of the specific data protection requirements of today's litigation and risk management professionals. ZyLAB technology locks-down and preserves information from any source without disrupting operations.
ZyLAB software copies the pertinent data along with audit details, hash values, and chain of custody records, to a defined location—typically a low cost server or NAS with sufficient disk space to accommodate subsequent processing work. As new data is added to the original source, it, too, is copied on an incremental basis to the preservation archive.
Keeps Your Confidential Information Private
Privacy is easily compromised as the distribution of information becomes more fluid and expansive. Consequences include anything from embarrassment, identity theft, up to risk of death for witnesses whose personally identifiable information is disclosed. ZyLAB technology ensures confidential information remains private—without breaking the bank.
ZyLAB's intelligent redaction software tool supports automatic bulk redactions on keywords or patterns (i.e., any numbers appearing in the format of a Social Security Number) as well as on-the-fly electronic redactions of content. In either case, the redactions may be initially transparent for easy quality control and then later burned-in so the content is removed – not merely masked.
ZyLAB's intelligent redaction software tool is included as standard functionality with the ZyLAB Tiff Archiving & Production Bundle and it can be customized with specialized modules that create a system built for your use case.
Strategic & Responsible Data Destruction Minimizes Legal Costs and Risks
Holding on to data indefinitely is tempting—and may appear to be easier than proper records management practices—but the practice comes at a significant price to organizations. According to global analyst firm, Gartner, "content has no value unless it is used within business processes."
Regulatory authorities have established clear guidelines (i.e., Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) about what data must be retained and for how long. When those guidelines are not followed, organizations may compound the complexity of responding to disclosure requests or even incur sanctions if potentially relevant information has been destroyed prematurely.
To neutralize eDiscovery cost and risk, organizations must perform "legacy data clean-up" and implement a proper filing plan to classify documents. This action fosters "defensible disposition" which ensures the method of disposing of unneeded data can be presented in court as reasonable and consistent. In-house eDiscovery software, which is typically used in reaction to disclosure requests, can be re-purposed for this proactive endeavor. External service providers can also prove to be invaluable for performing this work.
Give Disparate Teams a Fully-Featured and User-Friendly Portal into Select Information
ZyLAB provides customized web-based portals for reviewing the content in your ZyLAB archive. This may be an online library to make public records easily accessible to a constituency, or it could be an online war room from which authorized attorneys can view, search, classify, annotate, and report on all of the disparate files in their matters.
ZyLAB has a user-friendly interface to help users with all levels of software experience to gain control over the information in the ZyLAB archive. In fact, ZyLAB offers custom interfaces to meet the needs of specific groups, such as multi-national case teams requiring a ZyLAB software interface in their native language.
Cast the Widest Possible Net and Effectively Manage the Comprehensive Results
The majority of commonly-used search tools are built to retrieve only the most popular hits—which simply doesn't meet the demands of exploratory legal search. ZyLAB helps investigators, attorneys, and risk managers find 100% of potentially relevant data and effectively refine the comprehensive results to what matters most.
ZyLAB software couples advanced search techniques with the ability to decipher complex files—including nested email attachments and audio files—to cast the widest possible net for each search.
ZyLAB is the Only Product of its Kind that Makes Foreign Language a "Non-Issue" for eDiscovery, Investigations, and Enterprise Information Management
The global economy and its multi-national organizations have fueled an increase in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) litigation and growing obstacles in terms handling foreign language content.

The 2011 season is fast approaching and everyone with a
keyboard is posting predictions for the upcoming campaign. Here's a look at how national media think the
Rangers will do this season:
Hockey News – [7th seed] "Why: One of the best defensive teams in the NHL
last season backed by one of the game's elite goalies in Henrik Lundqvist, the
young blueline led by Marc Staal and Dan Girardi will take another step forward
in 2011-12. The area the Rangers needed improvement on was offense and that was
addressed by adding the summer's top free agent, playmaking center Brad Richards.
How much will Richards help the Blueshirts? Well, he doesn't automatically make
them a powerhouse, but the thought of him alongside sniper Marian Gaborik is
tantalizing. The Rangers can't be worse after improving their greatest need,
but also won't jump too far ahead of where they were a year ago."
Proteau (The Hockey News) – [7th seed] "Yet again, the Rangers are coming
off a season in which they looked good at times, but ultimately fizzled in the
first round of the playoffs. The reason for that is simple: they had a
world-class goalie in Henrik Lundqvist and impact forwards including Marian
Gaborik, Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky – but they didn't have enough depth
to keep pushing when injuries struck Gaborik and Callahan. Bringing in Brad
Richards and Mike Rupp will help in that regard, but their defense still seems
like a work-in-progress – especially with troubling news about Marc Staal and
his post-concussion symptoms – and that could, once again, be enough to make
them a one-series-and-done playoff team."
Hockey News (video preview)
NHL.com – "If the Rangers can avoid half the injuries they suffered last season, not
only will they be a lock for the playoffs, but they'll contend for the Atlantic
Division. They have a solid group of young defensemen who showed improvement
throughout last season and a world-class goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist
there to cover up any mistakes. Consistency from the offense will be key.
If the Rangers have it, they could find themselves in the second round of the
playoffs for the first time since 2008."
NHL.com (team preview)
TSN.ca – "Brad Richards signed on for a reminder of the good times he had
winning in Tampa Bay. However, in the process, he also signed on for a re-run
of the Sean Avery show. Team chemistry can be a very delicate balance and under the bright
lights of Broadway, the pressure on Richards and, possibly the entire Rangers
team, has not been this high in years. Can Avery behave himself for another full season and put the team first,
or is it only a matter of time before he acts out again and burns his final
bridge to the NHL? Richards got a front
row seat to the dog and pony show that was Avery's exit from Dallas, so if
Avery is that toxic, certainly Richards would be one of the NHLers with
first-hand knowledge. But the
expectation surrounding Avery has always been to expect the unexpected. If the Rangers fire on all cylinders, they
could dominate in the East and even win the Atlantic Division. But what if Avery goes off again?"
Allen (USA Today) – [1st in Atlantic Division, 2rd in Eastern Conference] "If
Richards generates 90 or more points, the Rangers have a shot at their first
division title since 1994."
Daddy – "The Rangers will qualify for the playoffs, with an improved
offense and a strong defense in front of Lundqvist. Success in the postseason
comes down to seeding and special teams, but the Rangers have a collection of
gritty vets and solid young players that have the potential for something
Daddy (staff picks)
Burnside (ESPN) – "There was so much buzz around the signing of free-agent
center Brad Richards this summer, it was easy to forget that the New
York Rangers already had a lot going for them, from an elite netminder to a
collection of young, hard-working defensemen to a handful of homegrown,
talented forwards. Make no mistake,
Richards is a key addition and should help rejuvenate star winger Marian
Gaborik after a disappointing 2010-11 campaign and propel the Rangers up
the Eastern Conference standings. But this is a team that is far more than the
sum of its free-agent signings."
Buccigross (ESPN) – 98 points, 5th in Eastern Conference
ProHockeyTalk – "The Rangers have things in place to be a very good team. They should
absolutely be a playoff team and stressing out at the end of the season
shouldn't happen again this year. As long as Richards and Gaborik stay
healthy and keep their offense rolling, they'll be a tougher team to handle.
Their forward roster is deep and while there's questions on their defense
still, Lundqvist makes it all stand up. The question for New York is just how
they can manage as a playoff team."
Lavoie (RDS.ca) – 8th in Eastern Conference
Kwak (Sports Illustrated) – "Richards will be playing alongside Marian
Gaborik, a 2009 free-agent pickup. A lefthanded shot playing the right wing,
Gaborik is just the kind of linemate with whom Richards has thrived in the past
(most notably Martin St. Louis in Tampa). A consistent top line would relieve
goalie Henrik Lundqvist from having to carry the team. The Rangers' biggest
concern, though, is their defense, which is extremely young (none of the
defensemen are older than 27) and untested. Having more scoring options is
great, but if New York cannot find a way out of its own zone, the path to the
postseason will be tough."
Elliot (Sports Illustrated) – "This is an emerging outfit built largely on
an identity of hard work and being hard to play against on a nightly basis. If
the Rangers can survive an October on the road and put up more wins at the
under-construction Madison Square Garden -- like they did two seasons ago -- a
top three seed in April is possible."
Brooks (NY Post) – [6th seed, lose in Eastern Conference Finals]
Monzo (WFAN) – [47-27-8] "I am not sure what the opinion of John Tortorella
is around the Ranger fans, but I am believer. He wants to
win. That's all you can ask for in a coach."
Hockey – "The Atlantic Division might just be the best division in the NHL
this season. With that said, the Rangers might have just what it takes to
finish atop it."
Hockey Writers – [7th seed] "No one in this world would tell you that the
Rangers had a bad off-season; Brad Richards gives the Rangers a prominent No. 1
centre to play with Marian Gaborik, and adding Tim Erixon on defence makes
sense. The Rangers lost very little in Grachev, Gilroy and Frolov."

Vomiting can be caused by many things. Most of the time, vomiting in children is caused by gastroenteritis, usually due to a virus infecting the gastrointestinal tract. Gastroenteritis, often called the "stomach flu," also can cause nausea and diarrhea.
These infections usually don't last long and are more disruptive than dangerous. However, kids (especially infants) who cannot take in enough fluids and also have diarrhea could become dehydrated.
It's important to stay calm — vomiting is frightening to young children (and parents, too) and exhausting for kids of all ages. Reassuring your child and preventing dehydration are key for a quick recovery.
Over-the-counter medications to treat nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are not recommended for infants and children. Doctors might recommend medication for nausea or vomiting in certain situations, but these are available only by prescription.
Oral rehydration is something parents can do at home to help prevent dehydration or treat mild cases. Talk to your doctor, especially if you think your child is dehydrated, as you might be given alternate instructions on how to orally rehydrate your child.
The greatest risk of vomiting due to gastroenteritis is dehydration. Call your doctor if your child refuses fluids or if the vomiting continues after using the suggested rehydration methods.
Call the doctor for any of these signs of dehydration:
These symptoms may indicate a condition more serious than gastroenteritis; contact your doctor right away:
Vomiting due to gastroenteritis can spread to others, so your child should stay home from school or childcare until there's been no vomiting for at least 24 hours. And remember that hand washing done often and well is the best way to protect your family against many infections.

Pills found on board a 2nd century B.C. shipwreck were packed with crushed carrots, parsley, onions, alfalfa, and other vegetable matter, conforming to the recipes contained in ancient medical treatises.
While the texts themselves were discovered long ago, the cache of ancient pharmaceuticals found onboard the sunken ancient vessel is the first time the medicines themselves have been found.
The definite usefulness of the medicines is as yet unknown, but archeologists believe that these pills were likely stored on board as part of an ancient "first aid kit" for use by sailors suffering from a variety of ailments.

Flying..... is just about precision.....Always!
"Expect the unexpected" is an ever-present corollary.
Well, the old adage of "no Old & Bold pilots" comes to mind. There are a lot of
"what if's" that could have happened there. It just wasn't his time.
Although the flying is impressive, it can't help but remind me of a Bonanza crash at Baton Rouge a number of years ago. The pilot had almost 4000 hours and would commute daily between BTR and TVR (Tallulah, LA). On takeoff the pilot would always roll into almost a 90 degree bank less than 200ft off the ground. He did this probably several hundred times without ever having a problem... until July 2, 1999. The NTSB report is here: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20001212X19257&key=1
I witnessed this incident first hand from the south ramp... we all knew it was going to happen sooner rather than later.
Thanks Andrew
Pretty impressive stick n rudder work.
From a photographer's perspective on the video, the extremely wide angle lense used in the filming distorts the apparent distances and angles ("fisheye" effect) which may add somewhat to the drama of the situation. The curvature of the horizon illustrates this.
Update! Another Squawk was posted with a view from the ground:
Well, you've gotta admit it, that is a very neat touchdown, but the distance between the wingtip and the ground before he landed was perhaps a bit too close. The pilot has obviously done it before.
One invisible thermal up-draft or its corresponding mass-continuity down-draft is all it takes.
OH!! It's a Doinker! I thought I read it was in Brazil somewhere and I was thinking it was an EMB-121 (low wing) .. makes more sense now! Some skilled flying!
Thanks for tying the two views together. Doesn't change my opinion from my prior post.
Flying skill 10, aviation decision making 0. Average pilot score 5. Each time he gets away with these maneuvers it reinforces to him that what he is doing is safe and a little more risk can be taken next time. It only takes once to realize it was being done wrong all along. He could be a really good pilot if he learns to make a safe minimum time approach.
Come on guys that was awesome he probably flies like that all the time what about crop dusting you dont call that crazy.I would right seat with him anytime
Maybe not for long.
Agreed! I rather ride the approach in with him than jump out of the plane, lol!
You right Tom, that was awesome...come on guys.. give the guy some credits ..
That's Germany, but in the U.S. we have a long-held belief that the sport of skydiving is self-policing. The only "credits" that us old-timers who are still current jumpers give such pilots are of the negative variety.
Tom, your right. The vidio was awsome and brought back many memories. I aquired over 2500 hrs as a Diver Driver for 7 yrs for a DZ in Ks in 182'S and Caravan's. When I started I was like most people..20 degree bank in the pattern, 80 mph on final. After several months I seen that was not cost affective and the appr needed to be shortend. Long story short I did at least 4000 short apprs simular to this. Yes I came close to losing my life and the plane too..twice. But I found my limit and the last 5 yrs I was not on a death wish but comfortable with the risk I was taking and no one complained. In fact any jumpers that rode down with me understood why I wanted to fly rather than jump. One question...Has anyone fallen asleep while flying PIC? I HAVE..several times hauling 15-25 loads a day 10-13 hrs plus night jumps. Quit bashing the guy he's probably trying to stay awake. The landing is the DD's only excitment. HE'S GOOD!!! MC and HNY JB
Check out AirCapitalDropZone.com
Just a *little* irresponsible. Absolutely no need for an approach like that without an emergency - I don't care how good a pilot you think you are.
He knows what he's doing. Just like airshow pilots, he has the skill to fly closer to the edge than most of us certificated pilots. Many pilots have never been taught the concept of "unloading" the airplane. When an aircraft is descending quickly, it effectively weighs less and the stall speed drops accordingly. He is flying this twin somewhat like a glider and managing his energy, not so very different than Bob Hover does with the Shrike Commander. MOST of us don't have the skill required to do what he did and we shouldn't try it, but this guy DOES have the skill. Why return to the airport with such haste? Usually it is to pickup the next waiting load.
C'mon you know quite well that good ole Bob Hoover is several miles above this sunday-wannabe exhibitionist.
I saw a ground view on this video recording with a much larger margin and prospective than the Cockpit view. The roll out was interesting...seem he laid on the breaks and could have nosed over.
The energy management is also a bit more flexible in this case the Do28 is designed for short-field operations/STOL. Pilot is trading for a longer touchdown speed and rollout. I think the main unsafe part may have just been mentality. If the conditions during final had departed from nominal flight the question to ask is would the pilot have been comfortable making the missed approach or would he have tried to salvage the approach and shoehorn it onto the runway anyway? As long as he continues to understand the limitations of the flight envelope the Do28 could be capable of sustaining operations under this regime.
Energy management is the key to touch down. I wonder about the termo impact to the engines, how does that work?
This reminds me of the numerous Air Force, Navy, Marine and Army pilots/aviators that over the years went wild buzzing girlfriends, dipping chopper skids on lakes, terrorizing communities risking lives and risking Government property. Some were caugth but never prosecuted for their bosses did the same supid things when younger, some crashed, and some are still at it.
I've jumped from aircraft many thousands of times, but only landed in them a couple dozen at most ... these videos reinforce the fact that I'm doing the right thing, even if the pilot stays out of my and everyone else's airspace.
He isn't using shoulder harnesses either ... yet another clue of carelessness and over-confidence. Such cowboys don't last long as lift pilots.
I'm sorry, the dive is cool but once he got close to the trees, me and him would have been fighting on the spot. You don't do that that close to trees and ground if there is no emergency.
he and I
Me would've waited until after landing to fight with him.
Uh oh, Beware of the grammar police! Jeff, it's a fucking aviation forum not English class. Quit correcting people's grammar and go get your pilots license.
Depends on what part of the country you're from. Me & Him would be proper English for down here
Personally I wouldn't have corrected him, but someone did, and you felt that you needed to to one-up him. So I'm doing my civic duty by pointing out that "me and him" would not be proper English "down there" or any other place on planet Earth. It may be common and/or accepted where you live, but it's wrong. "He and I" is THE proper way, not A proper way. The correction is also a subtle dig at the validity of John Hale's statement.
This whole tit-for-tat is a parody of the video and ensuing comments. Maybe in Germany this flying is "proper". Maybe in the military it's proper. Maybe in skydiving it's proper. Personally I think it's safe; he was close to the trees (low), but still fast. He bled off speed over the runway. He was obviously fast enough to make a safe landing if both engines failed. Now if he was dragging it in over those trees behind the power curve and trying to make a short field landing, that would be dangerous, and pointless. There's nothing wrong with being low and fast, making steep banks, well withing gliding distance of a long empty runway, in an airplane that is WELL below gross weight. It's part of his job.
How about flying for National Geographic in the middle of the bush somewhere making 40 knots, 40 feet above a jungle canopy? Is that safe? I doubt it. It's the job that the pilot was hired for, and it's low and slow and dangerous. There is also the "innocent" photographer along for the ride. Not only that, there are no paramedics nearby. I think this goes for pipeline inspectors, powerline inspectors, etc.
airspeed or altitude
Is colloquialism a violation of the Laws of English Grammar? Which laws, and to whom is the mantle of penultimate arbiter granted (and by whom)? Is that English English, American English (North/ South of Mason Dixon line), Australian English, FAA English>
Veliecht es ist Ordnung im Deutschland, aber....
Second person before first person is the basis of the classic "Alphonse and Gaston" skit.
As for grammar, "and it's low and slow and dangerous", should be "and it's low, slow and dangerous" unless your are speaking colloquially.
I agree with you.
Actually yes, colloquialism does violate the standards of English Grammar.
FAA English is jargon, and it is also non-standard.
"And it's low and slow and dangerous" is slang, and I realize that it's not proper.
The arbiter is not specific, but it is polite, and shows class, to put the other person's name before the self. Putting the self first is basically classless, or selfish. It's no more a law than whether or not it is right or wrong to eat dogs. Generally, we English speakers would think that eating dogs is wrong, universally. So when someone chooses Bowser over beef, we say that's wrong, and that's that.
I'm making myself look like a jerkoff (slang), and I really was only slightly irritated that so many people were jumping on Jeff Carey, that was poking fun at John Hale for being so brackish. All of a sudden there's a whole bunch of people (happens every time) that want to crucify the guy that likes to use proper grammar, and makes it known that lazy language does not go unnoticed. Looking back at it now, preacher1 may have simply been poking a little fun and making a joke as well.
My apologies to those who misunderstood my intentions, and to all English-speaking dog-eaters.
"Argh! I'm going to arm chair pilot at this guy! He doesn't know what he is doing! He is unsafe! Blah blah blah!" C'mon guys!! Take some time and watch how skydive operations work, he is not the only one who flies like that. And you all know that pilot has way more skill than most of you commenting on here saying how unsafe he is. Looks like the aircraft made a flawless landing to me, no different outcome than if a normal, boring 3 degree approach was made.
You're partially correct, he definitely is skilled. The other thing he's got (on this flight) is lots of luck.
He's got what looks like a good luck duck hanging from his mag compass. That's his secret!
That duck is also his backup attitude indicator :)
Descent Checklist:
Duck-titude indicator Check
Prop Full Forward
Power Flight Idle
Airspeed 180 KTS
Dang straight Jeff. Also if he encounters IMC and looses his panel he just throws the duck out and follows it home. ;]
He definitely is skilled and several have alluded here to crop dusters doing it this way. That may just be the way these guys do it, BUT, a crop duster does it as part of the job. I just couldn't see the reason for it with a good airplane and wide open approach and airport. That's just me.
preacher1: time is definitely money at a busy DZ. Not saying I agree with it, but there is more too it than just showboating.
If you got paid by the load, you would certainly get it.
I don't want to put any bad grid-gri on your show, but dude .... It's just a matter of time. The next jump can wait a couple more minutes surely?
Reminds me of an old saying about a dog that liked killing snakes....it eventually got bitten and died.
After a ride like that, I think I'd just say "The next time I do that, it will be a mistake".
This is the kind of flying that gives pilots the reputation of reckless and careless - Horrible example of judgement and sensibility.
This is the kind of flying that gives skydiving a bad rap in the larger aviation community.
This talented pilot is in the wrong end of business.
Roger that ... he should be polishing a different sort of chair with his backside.
Even worse when seen from the ground. The wing was loaded quite heavily and elevator pulled the aircraft around on lineup. To name a few, misuse of the rudder, a wind gust, or the loss of either engine in the final turn would have been fatal. The only thing saving the bacon was excess airspeed which in itself is not the best thing for landing. I'm all for quick returns to keep the revenue flowing but they can be done safely. Why plan an approach leaving yourself no options if something goes wrong? And we all know nothing can go wrong,go wrong,go wrong.....
insanely awesome
I don't think anyone is questioning the unloading of the plane and getting down quickly. The final approach, I believe, is what separates those who know from those who don't.
Now that's what I call a narrow margin for error. Its like with some sports motorbikes, easy to throw around and deceptively forgiving on corners until you hit a patch of oil, then you're on your ass. I personally prefer to have a few thousand feet between me and the ground before messing around.
How can anyone tolerate that stuffed animal dangling down in front of their vision?
And how can the stuffed animal tolerate it? ;)
Same music, more danger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfph3iNC-k (Jeb Corliss, "Grinding the Crack" base jump)
amazing landing very good video
I don't even want to know how he pulled off that landing with all the excess speed. probably with a lot of braking, and a hook and wire system system used on carriers. after that, he probably dumped some cash on new brake pads afterwards.
Preacher1: time is definitely money at a busy DZ. Not saying I agree with it, but there is more too it than just showboating.
Maybe ATC asked him to expedite... ;)
As a jumper and jump pilot; my thought is "WHY"? One of these days he's going to destroy that airplane and piss off skydivers that will be stuck on the ground. Because I know jumpers, and that airplane crashing in a ball of fire will not damper the will to skydive...
At least as long as they aren't aboard during the fireball.
To my thinking, the pilot makes BASE jumps from the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls more attractive. I hope this doesn't run afoul of the grammar academy :)
I seem to recall some lore that if the pilot beats the jumpers to the ground, the divers owe him a case of beer.
I used to do this but nothing this wild !
Is he in an Xingu?
Thats one crazzy pilot ( but good !) keeping it under control.
that would be more fun than the jump, Kool music too
Whos the music by?
AWOLNATION - Sail. Apparently not the only aviation video with this awesome piece of music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiA0nMiw1ho ;) Enjoy!
Totally bloody awesome - obviously very confident in his abilities - would have loved to have been in the right hand seat :-)
shows you're as daft as what he is
A real Cowboy, gonna beat the jumpers to the tarmac. One day he's gonna screw up big time.
Looks like it could be a Westwind Beech. Anyway, the goal is not to use any fuel on the way down to pick up the next load. Power to idle, push it over and stay shy of VNE. It's done every day at most drop zones that fly turbine aircraft. This guy just pushed it to an extreme. If he leveled out at 300' AGL on final we wouldn't be commenting on it at all.
The split-S drew my attention. I had a comment on that well before he leveled out on his "base leg." It was "Holy S#@."
Aviation 101......stabilized approach. Works every time, this stuff doesn't. Check the statistics.
Precision Approach and Landing.
Beautiful but not the right. calculated risk
Beautiful, but not the correct. Calculated risk.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one
Spoken like a true novice!
Great flying! The decent could pop your ears out LOL. It is good to have a practice sometimes so that you won't panic on a real emergency. I wont even dare to do it in a sim, however.
Mssr. Nair stated "The decent could pop your ears out LOL."
Perhaps if one has a head cold of some sort it would pop ones ears IN, but the skydivers are usually experiencing a rate of -10kft./min. or greater without such problems.
lawl at people who feel the need to try and argue/debate something they don't know anything about. It's a video, watch it and be done.
FSX, one thing, real life, another.
Envy, that's what you all...soooo "Pro" pilots ..if any here.. have... you'll never ever enjoy Flying like He...and some of Us here do...
and yes..He...me ..you all eventually will die....probably flying like that...or..by a cancer...
anybody here knows how?
He is definitely showing off. But if you cant get that load up to altitude and back down in 20 mins you aren't making money. Less is better.
[This poster has been suspended.]
profit, yeah thats always a good reason to blow off safety.
Yes the Split S-turn and the 60 degree turn downwind to final does seem to compromise safety to some degree.
Pretty impressive. He's probably flying that pattern many times a day and has obviously gotten pretty good at it.
Hah! He beat the parachuters to the ground!I actually thought it was an awesome approach. I try similar things in FSX all the time, but I never can get the plane down as well as he did.
[This poster has been suspended.]
since when was a king air certified for aerobatic? never. this guy is nuts, at least when he crashes he'll only kill himself as all the jumpers would be out. i thought the inverted flight was bad, then i saw the landing. Completly unstabilized and very unsafe.
I just watched it again, and IMHO there wasn't any INVERTED flight, just steep turns. My guess is that he lands it like that several times a day, and practice makes perfect!
King air?? Take a better look men.
[This poster has been suspended.]
hard to tell, looking at the cowl that was my first guess.
Still trying to figure out, but the shape of the windows and the huge cabin space make me think is a DO28 with pt6.
Any guess?
Yes, DO28
Well, unless you exceed the max speed or G-ratings, there shouldn't be any damage to the plane...
or scrape the wing and cartwheel...
Mssr. Rudd stated "he'll only kill himself as all the jumpers would be out"
The camera in the right seat is most likely being held by what we call "an observer" who (hopefully) lands with the plane.
Nuts, I agree; but he didn't exceed 60 degrees bankangle, did he?
Of what!
Hey Guys, Merry Christmas to all and have a safe Holiday with your families, Dale
As a former skydiver, I can attest that sometimes the jump plane is actually on the ground BEFORE the skydivers they released even touch down! One time had to abort a skydive due to clouds so I came down with the plane... wilder ride than any roller coaster I've been on an almost lost my lunch. These pilots do this dozens of times a day, the idea is to get on the ground fast to take up another waiting load of skydivers.
Another "skill" note, the Cessna at our DZ carried the minimal amount of fuel to reduce weight and carry more skydivers. On a couple of occasions the jump plane has run out of fuel and "dead stick" landing. All routine for these guys.
I'm not aware of a waiver for skydiving operations that exempts them FAR 91.151 (30 minute fuel reserve for Day VFR).
Roger that, Andrew. Case in point:
The "former skydiver" seems to negatively reinforce the opinion stated by many here that it only takes one time to prove the folly of ones reckless actions.
Andrew and Ynot - I'm not a pilot so I can't address the FAR's or waivers; I can just tell you specifically TWICE in my skydiving experience the pilot has had to dead stick. The DZ I jumped at is long since closed.
I don't know how the pilot calculated how much fuel needed but he could usually take up about 4 or 5 loads of skydivers packed liked sardines in a C-172 with the seats removed before needing to refuel.
I firmly believe you n9733s (not a registered number), but am not willing to endorse such risk-taking flying in the modern day. Especially in the current litigious environment, most of us have far more personal monetary value than the few minutes it takes to keep track of fuel consumption and refuel as necessary.
To tie your track back in with the OP, in a low fuel situation such dive and bank angles would increase the chances for engine fuel starvation, given such careless fuel management as you seem to admire.
In our club house at La Ferté Alais war birds meeting we had a view of a plane crashing on a roof the commentary was:
Good Safe Flights to all
Lucky Piper
Really cool. Question for all...does anyone know the name of the music? Thanks

The event marked the 200th anniversary of the battle of the British ship, the HMS Boxer, and the American vessel, the USS Enterprise, on Sept. 5, 1813, off Pemaquid Point.
British and American flags drape the tombs of the ship commanders and another officer who died 200 years ago in a battle between the HMS Boxer and the USS Enterprise off the Maine coast.
Military history enthusiasts yesterday held a grave side remembrance ceremony to mark the 200th anniversary of a memorable battle off the Maine coast.
The event, put on by the Maine Military Historical Society, commemorated the battle of the British ship, the HMS Boxer, and the American vessel, the USS Enterprise, on Sept. 5, 1813, off Pemaquid Point.
The commanders of both vessels were killed in the battle. British Commander Samuel Blyth was 27 years old when he faced off against American William Burrows, who was 30. They were buried side-by-side at Portland's eastern ceremony.
Samuel Blyth's descendent, Jeffrey Blyth, traveled from England to attend the event. "We think he was my great-great grandfather. I may be descended from a brother, but I am undoubtedly his closest living relative," Blyth said. "This is a far, far bigger occasion than we ever imagined could possibly happen. I think we are greatly honored."
To commemorate the event, Gov. Paul LePage issued a proclamation declaring Sept. 5, 2013 as HMS Boxer and USS Enterprise Day.

Comments about Patagonia Rock Craft Pants (Men's):
Fantastic pants for hiking and climbing. Breathes great, DWR is in full effect, and I like the back pockets. I've read other reviews saying that these are slimmer than the old rock guide pants, and I'd agree with this, but I prefer this cut substantially; my legs don't feel like they're swimming in the pants, there's fantastic stretch for highstepping when climbing, and they still fit great over hiking boots. As for durability, they're still new, but after several climbing sessions and busting through some bush, I got a feeling they're gonna be just fine for a long long time. One item, the waist button is a snap closure, which sometimes pops open when I climb. You might want to plan on a belt for these.

You did forget Warheads first appearance though. The skull thing hadn't taken on yet but it was still an early version of Warhead. I would post the link but the search engine here is as user friendly as a dose of the clap. It was called the Surprising Stranger and Blitzen kicked my arse.
Incidentally, von Brag died in Medivo but as far as I'm aware he's back. He's not Immortal that I know of but it's an excellent thing to have characters coming back from the great bits box to seek revenge. I'm not sure in the how for's and what nots of how this was accomplished but I'm sure Zuhra's epic tale of how it all came about was awesome as always.
Did you had your profile image like that before Warhead died ?

|Azella Bradley poses with her mother-in-law in front of one of Carbon County's first automobiles.
During the city of Wellington's 100 year Pioneer Days celebration two life long residents looked back in pride at a city that they have called their home for the better part of a century. They were born in Wellington, have never really left and have watched the small municipality grow and change as if they were caring parents.
Azella Thayn Bradley was born June 3, 1918 in Wellington on the family farm and according to her family she was nine months old before her father was even able to set eyes on her. He served a distinguished term and was in France at the time of her birth, fighting in World War I. Azella was the oldest of 12 children which meant that she had a ton of responsibility around the farm.
Milking cows, feeding chickens and making bread were all done without running water, electricity or indoor plumbing.
Although her family was poor and life on the farm was hard, Azella never knew it. Bradley attended the Wellington school house on the hill by walking to and from the school everyday. According to family historians, sometimes the Thayns would move into town during the late fall for the winter and then return to the family farm in the spring.
|George Milton Thayn poses with man's best friend in Pace Canyon.
The cycle of life for the Thayns involved planting, tending, harvesting and bottling all of their own fruits and vegetables. Additionally soap was made by saving the fat from farm animals, putting lye in it and then letting it harden. This soap kept the family clean and was used for the Saturday night bath which took place in a number three tub with the smallest children bathing first.
All transportation in Azella's days as a child took place via horseback and on foot until her grandfather, W.A. Thayn purchased one the first motorcars in Carbon County.
"I really did grow up poor," said Azella. "But you never knew it because everyone else around you was poor too."
According to Bradley, she would get a new dress every July 4 and new pajamas for Christmas.
"I was happy, loved and we always had enough to eat," commented Bradley. "And that was all I really needed."
When she was a teen she met the love of her life when a young man rode up to an LDS function on his black horse and just kept calling on her on until they married.
Azella married Archie Bradley in September 1935 and they moved in to a two room home in Miller Creek. Archie worked a full time job that allowed Azella to tend to the farm and house work. They had four children; Arlene, Dean, Dale and Derk. Once they were school age, Azella worked at the Wellington post office for 31 years.
The only time in her 89 years that Azella ever left the town of Wellington was to serve an 18-month LDS mission. She served faithfully and then returned to her red brick home, a dwelling she has lived in for 57 years.
"There's no place like home in Wellington," concluded Bradley.
|Azella Thayn Bradley is one of Wellington's oldest living residents.
Then there is George Milton Thayn, who was born on April 5, 1917 in Wellington. He was the first son and second child of a family of 11.
Thayn attended the old brick school house on the hill until 1927 when it burned down. He moved on to attend school at the LDS church on Main Street and after graduating began attending Carbon High until he quit to go to work.
"When I started working, I was herding sheep for $30 a month," said Thayn.
He herded sheep for eight years.
"I really liked the months that had less than 30 days," laughs Thayn. "Because in those months I made more than a dollar a day."
Thayn married Ardith June Jorgenson on July 4, 1939 and bought himself a four acre farm. They had their first son, Lester, there before purchasing a larger farm south of U.S. Highway 6 in 1942.
Milton has spent his working career farming and ranching and at 90 he still takes an active role in all his affairs. He has also worked in the local coal mines along with hauling livestock to auction all over Utah.
According to all who know him, Milton has a great sense of humor and is never short with a story to tell when the time is right. He has lived his whole life on the farm and has no plans to ever leave.
According to those who love him, Milton has a zest for life that makes him unique and that zest has brought him quite a bit of enjoyment and prosperity out of the life he has lived in Carbon County. He remarked that he could not wait for the Pioneer Days celebration this year, that he was proud of the city he has always called his home.
"I remember going up to the park for the celebration in Wellington park when the family loaded up the wagon and team and rode up to town on the dirt roads," concluded Thayn. "It has been my privilege to watch this community grow."

Mind-Body Medicine
Saybrook University announces a fully accredited PhD program in Integrative Mental Health – the only program of its kind in the country.02/19/2013
This new doctoral degree program in Mind-Body Medicine for mental health professionals provides evidence-based training in techniques that hospitals and the public are demanding.
The public increasingly wants to know about all of its mental health care options: not just therapy and drugs, but hypnosis, biofeedback, spiritual practices, nutrition, and more.
Hospitals and clinics are increasingly advertising for mental health professionals who have these skills – but aren't finding them. There simply isn't an opportunity for practitioners to get these skills in a way that is rigorous, evidence-based, and accredited.
Saybrook, a fully accredited university which for forty years has had faculty in the vanguard of developing complementary medicine and integrative health care, is meeting this demand with the announcement of its new PhD program in Integrative Mental Health – the only program of its kind.
New Student Describes her Pathway into Study of Mind-Body Medicine: Helen Paczkowski Andersen02/18/2013
Students enrolled in the Saybrook University's School of Mind Body Medicine often tell stories of how they found their way to Saybrook. Many describe their path as a calling, or as an answer to their quest for finding a new way of working with people, one that addresses the many dimensions of human experience. Helen's story is about meeting a fellow Saybrook student, Beth Haggett, who is also the first student to receive a PhD from Saybrook University School of Mind Body Medicine. While attending a conference facilitated by the Berkana Institute, Helen met Beth, and was moved by Beth's inspiration to make a difference in the world via her experiences and knowledge gained at Saybrook. During the three days they spent together, Beth generously guided some of the conference participants in Qi gong and a shaking exercise. Experiencing these new methods to bring greater mind-body connection as well as hearing about the degree-program at Saybrook planted a seed in Helen's head, which held fast even as Helen returned home to work and her personal and community commitments.
Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine faculty interviewed in Washington Times02/14/2013
There's a problem, says Dr. Eric Willmarth, when patients get their expectations for recovery set by "a Xanax commercial."
In much of medicine, it really is "mind over matter." The trouble is most doctors and hospitals don't practice that way.
That's why Dr. Donald Moss, chair of Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, told the Washington Times a story about a patient who had a heart attack, and whose "ejection faction" (a measure of how well the heart was pumping) was at 60%. His doctor told him "Your ejection fraction is 60%," and left.
The patient assumed this meant his heart was functioning at 60% of capacity, and suffered a pronounced decline in his physical health.
School of Mind-Body Medicine Students Explore Authentic Leadership and Research in January, 2013 San Diego Residential Programs02/06/2013
Residential Conferences are an integral part of the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine experiential learning model. The RC's are a meaningful place for students to connect with the Mind-Body Medicine community and dive deeper into their coursework. The January 2013 RC in San Diego included two courses, Intermediate Hypnosis MBM 5625 and Coaching for Health and Wellness MBM 5630, and two optional programs, Authentic Leadership: Leading from Within and a Research Seminar.
Terri Goslin-Jones PhD, a mentor at Saybrook, facilitated the Authentic Leadership seminar. During this seminar the participants used creativity, appreciative inquiry, and "witnessing" to create a leadership vision for themselves. Each participant created a poster or small cards by using magazine photos, yarn, color, and anything that was meaningful for them to represent their exploration towards leading from within. In addition, the group explored Appreciative Inquiry, which uses powerful questions and focused listening to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and another person. Below are some reflections from students who attended the seminar.
Emerging Role of Mobile-Health Technology Interventions for Wellness and Disease Management01/30/2013
Every year millions die from cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, HIV infection, and diabetes. These conditions contribute to 40 % of all deaths in the more developed and affluent countries. For each of these diseases, healthy behaviors have been identified, which can prevent onset of these diseases. For example, the onset of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes can be prevented by maintaining a healthy body weight. Once these conditions are present,behavioral and lifestyle change are important for managing the course of these illnesses.
Efforts to increase healthy behaviors and minimize health risk behaviors (such as smoking) become increasingly important in enhancing health in this context. Mobile technology such as texting and smart phones offer platforms for innovative approaches to health enhancement and disease management.
School of Mind-Body Medicine to Feature Videoconference with James Lake, MD, Leader in Integrative Mental Health Movement01/26/2013
On February 12, 2013, James Lake will make a presentation for the School of Mind-Body Medicine: "The Promise of Integrative Mental Health"
James Lake, MD, is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the integrative mental health movement. Integrative mental health is a comprehensive whole-person approach to mental health care providing an alternative to the mainstream biomedical and pharmaceutical approach to mental health treatment. The addition of evidence-based behavioral, nutritional, and spiritual/transpersonal interventions can supplement and sometimes replace medication regimens for individuals with acute and chronic mental health disorders.
Dr. Lake is the author of several books: Integrative Mental Health Care: A Therapist's Handbook (2009), Complimentary and Alternative Treatments in Mental Health (2007), of Integrative Mental Health Care (2006), and Chinese Medical Psychiatry (2001).
Saybrook University Psychology Student Completes Dissertation on Biofeedback and Yoga for Undergraduate Stress Management01/16/2013
Carla Benejam lives in Salinas, California with one of her three sons and a big tabby cat. When not teaching courses in biology, life science, or psychology at Cal State University Monterey Bay, she spends many days in her apothecary garden, growing and tending herbs and seasonal veggies. Carla has been teaching for ten years and before that owned a rather eclectic used book store in Monterey. She has an affinity for languages and has studied German, French, Spanish and Indonesian, and a little Italian. Travels have taken her to Sumatra (to see young orangutans in the wild), Fiji, Moscow, Singapore and the Malay Peninsula, Britain, France, Spain, Alaska and Hawaii, Nepal, India, and Tibet.
Carla has a bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in Physical Anthropology, and a master's degree from San Jose State College in Evolutionary Biology. On December 27, 2013, she defended her dissertation and completed her doctorate in Psychology from Saybrook University in San Francisco. She is currently preparing a program of biofeedback for stress relief for college students to be implemented at her university, and is also pursuing life as a garden wise woman. Although a Psychology student, the three individuals guiding her dissertation were all faculty from Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, chair Donald Moss, and committee members Eric Willmarth and Eliza Bigham.
Saybrook University Graduates First PhD in Mind-Body Medicine: Beth Haggett01/15/2013
Over 30 years ago, as a 19 year old girl, Beth Haggett told her husband that someday she wanted to earn a PhD in Psychoneuroimmunology. When she first heard that Saybrook University was developing a PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine, she jumped at the opportunity and became the first to apply for the new program.
On December 28, 2012, Beth defended her doctoral dissertation, and became the first student to complete the new PhD. Her degree is a "PhD in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Health Care Systems." She achieved her goal within the time frame that she set for herself of three and one half years. Most importantly, because of her mind-body learning, and the self-care that was a component in her mind-body medicine education, her own mental, emotional, and physical health have improved dramatically in the course of her education. Beth's husband and adult children have also benefitted greatly from applying mind-body skills to their lives.
