- How to Read a Study Record
During the 1990s, evidence began to emerge of the long duration of untreated illness prior to receiving treatment for patients with psychotic disorders. Studies across the world on first episode psychosis have consistently found an average of 1 - 2 years between the onset of psychotic symptoms and the start of treatment. Lengthy treatment delay has immediate implications such as unnecessary distress for patients and families, and may also compromise potential recovery when treatment is initiated.By understanding how and why substantial delays occur the investigators may be able to better design interventions to facilitate better earlier treatment. The components of DUP can be conceptualised as comprising 3 distinct intervals: help-seeking delay, referral delay and delay in mental health services. In this study the primary aim is to establish the level of DUP in nordland, and explore the components of this variable. Help-seeking delay will be investigated by interviewing patients presenting at the central mental health hospital in Nordland about their psychosis onset and pathways to care. Referral delay will be investigated by a questionnaire about the referral pratices among GPs in Nordland. Delays in mental health services will be investigated by focus group interviews with leaders and professionals at the 7 community mental health centers in Nordland. This knowledge is believed to be crucial for developing services that can reduce DUP and give this patient population earlier access to adequate treatment.

Castle Country weather should be sunny and seasonable through the weekend, with high temperatures in the low to mid-60s with overnight lows around 40 degrees.

The USS Denver enjoyed a visit from some samurais- a planned visit, not a ninja attack. The Sailors loved it, the exhibition of swordmanship:
The 11 samurai from all over northern Kyushu showed off various weapons and fighting styles, including some developed in nearby Fukuoka in the 1500s that had been passed down only through a few descendants.
They showed off samurai swords large and small along with a sickle with a ball and chain attached that was effective in disarming an opponent before inflicting a deathblow.
The sailors snapped photos in awe as bamboo several inches thick was lopped off posts, seemingly with little force or effort.
"It was pretty cool I got to see some samurai and some old weapons," Petty Officer 3rd Class Caseny Truesdale said. "I was surprised they could still cut that good being that they're that old. It was pretty neat to see it; we got to experience some culture."
After the event — with not a single piece of bamboo left standing — the samurai let the sailors hold these national treasures. They talked about preparation, focus, patience and being ready to fight when needed.
"I thought it was an interesting experience," Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Kowalewskivillalobos said. "[They taught me] to never falter from the code. Sometimes it's hard, but you just have to live it."
Petty Officer Anthony Kowalewskivillalobos? How do they get his name on a uniform?

|WHS Swimmers Produce Six Regional Qualifiers
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Saturday, 22 January 2011 12:35
The Watauga High swimming team produced six regional qualifiers Friday night at the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference Championships in Valdese, NC.The WHS women finished third; the men were second. St. Stephens won the women's championship; South Caldwell won the men's title. Sophomore Darby Middlebrook paced WHS by winning two events: the 200 Intermediate in 2:20.76 and the 100 breast stroke in 1:11.75. Middlebrook also qualified for regionals in both events.
The 400 free-style relay team (consisting of Darby Middlebrook, Hailey Middlebrook, Ingrid Forsyth and Doria Kosmala) qualified for regionals by finishing second in 3:59.50.
For the men, the Pioneers qualified two relay teams and an individual. The 200 medley relay team (consisting of Justin Zumbo, Marcus Funston, Cam Haas, and Noah Allain) qualified by finishing second in 1:54.69. Funston qualified in the 100 butterfly by finishing second in 58.63; and the 400 free-style relay qualified as that group (Allain, Justin Zumbo, Sean Zumbo and Funston) finished third in 3:53.34.
Now, the Pioneers have several swimmers with consideration times that could qualify them for regionals competitiion. Those times will be submitted by WHS coach David Gragg on Thursday, January 27, and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association will announce the final results by no later than next Saturday, January 29.
"We've got some kids that could make it, or they may not," Gragg said. "It's all based on time qualifying, and our conference times were incredibly fast this year. But considering our lack of pool time, fighting the wintry weather we've had, and considering we also lost a couple of meets to all the snow, I couldn't be prouder of my team.
"They did an excellent job. and they put us in a position to contend for the conference championship."
The Class 4A Western Regional will be held at the Huntersville Family-Fitness and Aquatic Center Saturday, February 5. Competition begins at 4 pm.
Darby Middlebrook: 100 breast stroke; 200 intermidate

Because We Trust Kyle and Monica More than We Trust the Deputy Attorney General
Marty Lederman
Last week, Murray Waas of the National Journal revealed that in March 2006, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales signed what Waas described as "a highly confidential order . . . delegating to two of his top aides -- who have since resigned because of their central roles in the firings of eight U.S. attorneys -- extraordinary authority over the hiring and firing of most non-civil-service employees of the Justice Department." Now, the good folks over at Talking Points Memo have posted that Attorney General Order, along with the routing memo for that Order from the Justice Management Division.
Professor Balkin:
I see you are still rooting around for something approximating a crime in this matter and finding nothing. I am having a hard time getting worked up over the fact that the Executive may be delegating the authority to fire or hire a political appointee at Justice (or anywhere else) to someone other than the person who a past President has used.
The existence of the order suggests that a broad effort was under way by the White House to place politically and ideologically loyal appointees throughout the Justice Department, not just at the U.S.-attorney level.
Elections have results. I would hope that the President which I helped elect would hire political nominees of the same ideology for which I voted. These positions are called "political appointments" for good reason.
I trust the folks posting on this tempest in a teacup will also be in full dudgeon if Mrs. Clinton gets elected and follows in her hubby's footsteps by firing every political appointee at Justice "to place politically and ideologically loyal appointees throughout the Justice Department."
Somehow, I doubt there will be a single post on the subject if that happens.
Absolutely, Bart. President Bush and AG Gonzalez are showing Strong Leadership.
It's no crime to delegate the authority, in fact, every branch of government would be improved if the decisions were made solely on political ideological purity and coordinated with the White House. To the victor go the spoils, and Libs can just suck it up.
Besides, having accountable political appointees who knowthe value of loyalty to President Bush would sure help stop leaks!
"elections have results. i would hope that the president which i helped elect would hire political nominees of the same ideology for which i voted...".
i believe, once again, mr. depalma is missing the point. we all agree that the president can appoint u.s. attorneys, or any other federally appointed position for that matter, at will. what we are concerned with here is that the appointees have a certain level of competence and independence, which is not at all evident here.
hiring and firing is entirely discretionary, unless done so to stop ongoing criminal investigations of political friends and allies. that is known as obstruction of justice and plain old corruption. before anyone goes on about there is no evidence of this here, i would note that there is a certain appearance of impropriety that could stand the light of day; however, the administration has refused to allow those in the know to testify. i would note that there is a line i frequently use in closing arguments, which pertains to moments like this, "truth screams. weasels whisper". i would greatly appreciate the administration allowing truth to tell out.
finally, for those of my conservative friends out there, i am glad to know that you have come around to the position that the president may hire and fire subordinates, and you are finally admitting that the clinton position vis a vis the white house travel office, a position most of us would agree is a tad less important in the grand scheme of things than the department of justice, has been borne out.
Sometime, I think that Bart is an agente provacateur. He can't really misunderstand the point so completely, and repeatedly. He can't really continue to support without reservation a cabal that has consistently proven itself to both corrupt and incompetent repeatedly. He can't really mean to repeat the same nonsense mantras like "elections have consequences" totally out of context repeatedly.
It's like seeing a liberal continue to support the notion that Clinton would never lie to this day. I would have to assume that the individual in question was intentionally trying to sow doubt in the sanity of liberals.
It's one of the nicer tricks we pulled in WWII pacific: rebroadcasting Japanese radio propaganda, after adjusting all their claims up by an order of magnitude. If the Japanese said they had killed 100 Americans, we would claim to be a Japanese newscast claiming a 1000 Americans killed. Bart must be the liberal equivalent - I never realized we were so clever!
The GOP has assigned a designated troll to most mainstream blogs that allow open comments. You see it at each and every one of them. I don't think it's just a coincidence. It's always just one, and they always chime in.
I agree with the others that from the start you have been evading the issue here. We all agree that the President has the authority to require DOJ employees to follow his general law enforcement priorities. We make not like those priorities, but, as you say, elections have consequences.
The question is, what if the President wants US Attorneys to make their priority ensuring that his party wins elections. Do you consider that proper?
Suppose the DOJ treats any narrow win by the opposing party as presumptively fraudulent and routinely requires indictments for voter fraud? (Or, if a Democrat is in power, for illegal vote suppression). Suppose the DOJ make a regular practice of timing indictments to influence elections, speeding up indictments of the opposition to before the election and delaying indictments of its own party until after? Is that proper?
You may say that is not what is going on. Well, feel free to argue that, but stop dodging the hypothetical. If the President (any President) uses prosecutions as a tool for influencing elections, is that proper?
Heckuva job, Monica!
Prof. Lederman's analysis is excellent, in particular because it emphasizes the difference between appointing Schedule C and other political appointees who are dedicated to the mission of the agency and appointing hacks who will twist and undermine the mission of the agency to whatever extent their political masters dictate.
The DAG must be confirmed by the Senate and the DAG's office is fairly visible. Delegating the power "to take final action" in hiring political appointees to the DAG (as in the Ashcroft DofJ) provided a potential check on the abuse of that power and thereby contributed to the selection of experienced, competent professionals for the important business of running the DofJ.
If the Senate had approved Tim Flanigan as DAG, Gonzales would have left the formal structure alone. Goodling and Sampson would simply have informally vetted all hiring and firing, and passed the info along to Flanigan.
Since the Senate balked at approving another political flunky at DofJ (Gonzales was bad enough), Gonzales surreptitiously delegated the power "to take final action" on hiring and firing all political appointees to his Chief of Staff and to "the White House liaison." For these two subordinate positions to have power "to take final action" on hiring and firing anyone would certainly not be approved by any corporate HR managers among Bush's supporters and contributors. To place in these two positions lawyers who were as wet behind the ears as Goodling & Sampson just amplified the stupidity ten-fold.
Does this delegation memo help to explain why no one knows who decided "to take final action" on the firing of the eight [now nine, soon to increase further] United States Attorneys?
Enlightened Layperson said...
Bart, I agree with the others that from the start you have been evading the issue here...The question is, what if the President wants US Attorneys to make their priority ensuring that his party wins elections. Do you consider that proper?
That was not one of the points made by Professor Lederman in his post. However, I would be pleased to respond to your question.
How can the DOJ influence the outcome of elections? At most, the DOJ can prosecute election fraud. The results of such prosecutions would be decided by judges and juries.
Your question assumes that there is in fact substantial election fraud which is criminally changing the results of elections, the DOJ prosecutes it and a judge/jury punishes and reverses the fraud.
Suppose the DOJ treats any narrow win by the opposing party as presumptively fraudulent and routinely requires indictments for voter fraud?
Without evidence, such prosecutions are unlikely to get an indictment from a grand jury (see the trouble Ronnie Earle had getting a GJ to indict Delay on those bogus charges). If a ham sandwich indictment gets through, a court is unlikely to let it get beyond a motion to dismiss.
Suppose the DOJ make a regular practice of timing indictments to influence elections, speeding up indictments of the opposition to before the election and delaying indictments of its own party until after? Is that proper?
How will a baselesss indictment of say ACORN influence an election?
You may say that is not what is going on. Well, feel free to argue that, but stop dodging the hypothetical.
I tried to give your hypos some credence rather than dismissing them out of hand. However, the fact that you brought up the subject means that you realize your hypos are not very likely.
A excellent analysis Professor Balkin.
I find it interesting that the best possible argument in defense of the A.G.'s actions is that "Clinton might do it".
I remember when Conservatives used to operate from first principles.
The first principle at work here seems to be:
Is bypassing a Senate confirmed DAG in employment decisions a move that will produce an outcome that promotes the administration of Justice?
If a person was to define "a desirable outcome" as "whatever is politically expedient without any regard to professional standards," then they would be consistent in their reasons, but for lack of a more judicious term, it would be fair to say that their reasoning is at best incredibly short-sighted, and from a long-term view completely idiotic.
The fact that a Senate confirmed appointee is overseeing the process suggests that the Senate DOES exercise an indirect authority over how the Justice system is administered; and that, by extension, the outcome is one that will have a more Constitutionally legitimate stamp.
I would find it rather bizarre that any Conservative would argue that it is better to lower the professional standards of the DOJ and to use methods that are at best Constitutionally dubious--effectively that it what the Gonzales defenses amount to.
The fact that this order was not publicly released suggests that the A.G. and the principals involved with conceiving this decision were not entirely comfortable with the legal and political merits of the decision--even in the face of a friendly Republican controlled Senate. That's a statement and a half about the order's possible merits.
There is no good defense for this incredibly ill-conceived and unprecedented maneuver.
Hopefully, some red lines will be put down in this case, because, at the end of the day, these aren't powers that any American should want exercised in the manner that this White House has exercised its authority. If these type of actions were to be legitimized as a reasonable precedent, the American justice system, and the American people would be the real losers.
Fundamentally these are not partisan issues that we are dealing with. The fact that a Republican president and Attorney General have exercised these authorities should be irrelevant from the view of first principles. These actions are simply wrong--morally and from a professional standard. The recent outcomes from these decisions support this view. The sad fact is that we have only seen a low-grade version of how these new procedures are likely to play out with an even less principled and less accountable president than the one who currently occupies the White House. In an open debate these unprecedented procedures never would have made it out of the conception phase, because they are so incredibly bone-headed. These actions demonstrate a complete disregard for the Constitution as it was written and as it has been practiced over our 220+ year history.

Remember Hunt for Red October?
Remember how Captain Ramius (Sean Connery) had spent years quietly selecting his officers?
Remember how he couldn't quite get a crew that was 100% loyal to him, but still wound up with one officer who was a loyal servant of the (Soviet) state?
That's what happened here, except with the evil reversed. McNulty -- the guy Gonzales was forced to take as DAG after his favored minion got the stiff-arm from the Senate -- seems to have been the innocent officer who assumes he's surrounded by people like him, whose priority is the rule of law.
Gonzales' subversion of the DOJ ran silent and ran deep. One or two "accidental" slip-and-falls and they might have gotten away with it.
Lam, Iglesias et al.'s charges forced the whole thing to the surface. Now it's Gulag for Gonzo.
"No crime here..."? Former USA John McKay (WA) doesn't seem to think so:
McKay: White House had us fired
By David Bowermaster
Seattle Times staff reporter
* 9th U.S. attorney says he was pushed out
Two former U.S. attorneys said Wednesday they believe the White House had them fired along with six other federal prosecutors, and that ongoing investigations into the dismissals could result in criminal charges against senior Justice Department officials.
John McKay, the former U.S. attorney for Western Washington, and David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, also said they believe Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty lied under oath when they testified to Congress about the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. Gonzales is scheduled to testify today before the House Judiciary Committee.
McKay and Iglesias said they still don't know who at the White House ultimately put them on the firing list. But McKay said he believes obstruction-of-justice charges will be filed if investigators conclude any of the dismissals were motivated by an attempt to influence public-corruption or voter-fraud investigations.
"I think there will be a criminal case that will come out of this," McKay said during a meeting Wednesday with Seattle Times editors and reporters. "This is going to get worse, not better."
Additionally, McKay and Iglesias said they believe White House strategist Karl Rove and his aides instigated the dismissals and that someone in the White House ultimately decided who among the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys should be fired.
Not only possible criminal intent here, but the use of Fed prosecutors' offices to further a strictly political endpoint, i.e., Democratic "voter fraud" surely should raise some ethical issues, for God's sake.
Bart is truly a postmodern artist of the highest order. He, in the same comment, attempts to say that baseless prosecutions would not affect an election, then goes on to claim that the prosecution of Delay was baseless - an example of a prosecution that can be shown to have directly affected the political process. Whether or not his second point is true, it directly undermines his first.
If Bart's truly a defense lawyer for DUI, I have to assume he's been drinking with his clients. Maybe my hypothetical Bart-as-liberal-propagandist isn't so far off?
Bart is no genius.
He is either paid to post here.
Or engaged in some pathetic exercise to assuage what must be an inferiority complex.
Either way, he is a sad and pathetic man.
If we can't ban him, ignore him.
Let's see now. A partisan prosticutor has no ability to influence the outcome of elections?
If that's so, then why did so many Rethuglicans squeal like stuck pigs when Lawrence Walsh caused Caspar Weinberger to be indicted a week or so before the 1992 presidential election.
If Bart is ever given an enema, his remains will fit in a cigar box for burial.
"How can the DOJ influence the outcome of elections? At most, the DOJ can prosecute election fraud. The results of such prosecutions would be decided by judges and juries."
Your fake naivete is blatant intellectual dishonesty.
As was shown in I believe Wisconsin, the Bush-appointed AG's prosecution and jailing of a Democratic operative before the election was quickly tossed on appeal. And the judge essentially accused the AG of having fabricated the case.
Let's stop the transparent thumb-sucker's BS that it isn't possible for Republicans to be corrpt to the bone.
"I tried to give your hypos some credence rather than dismissing them out of hand. However, the fact that you brought up the subject means that you realize your hypos are not very likely."
See the foregoing, Mr. Deliberate Intellectually Dishonest Ostrich.

A team of Sandia engineers has worked behind the scenes to ensure the smooth launch of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL).
NASA's $2.5 billion MSL rover, the largest and most sophisticated vehicle to visit Mars, is powered by a multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator, or MMRTG. The generator uses heat from the decay of 10.6 pounds of plutonium dioxide into 110 watts of electricity to move the rover and run a suite of 10 instruments, which can do things like find water 32 feet below the surface and analyze chemical composition of rocks three car-lengths away.
While the MMRTG significantly increases the rover's range and lifetime from previous rovers, which relied on solar panels, launching nuclear material requires diligent attention to safety, and Sandia has been tasked with conducting the safety analysis report.
Read more about Sandia's work with monitoring the mission in Sandia's Lab News (scroll down to third story).
Los Alamos National Laboratory technology has landed on the surface of Mars. Sunday's successful landing of NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars marks the beginning of a nearly two-year-long mission that will use a rock-zapping laser device mounted on the mast of the SUV-sized rover to help unravel mysteries of the Red Planet.
The ChemCam laser characterization instrument, developed at LANL and the French space institute, IRAP, is one of 10 instruments mounted on the MSL mission's Curiosity rover — a six-wheeled mobile laboratory that will roam more than 12 miles of the planet's surface during the course of one Martian year (98 Earth weeks).
When ChemCam fires its extremely powerful laser pulse, it briefly focuses the energy of a million light bulbs onto an area the size of a pinhead. The laser blast vaporizes part of its target up to seven meters (23 feet) away. The resultant flash of glowing plasma is viewed by the system's 4.3-inch aperture telescope, which records the colors of light within the flash. These spectral colors are then interpreted by a spectrometer, enabling scientists to determine the elemental composition of the vaporized material. ChemCam also has a high-resolution camera that provides close-up images of an analyzed location. It can image a human hair from seven feet away.
Curiosity is expected to investigate the Gale Crater located close to the equator near the boundary between the southern highlands and the more featureless northern low plains of Mars. The massive crater spans 96 miles in diameter, an area roughly equivalent to the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. A towering mountain, informally named Mount Sharp, rises up nearly three miles above the crater floor. This mammoth feature will provide opportunities for ChemCam to sample geologic layers on the mountainside.
Probing this stratified geology with ChemCam could help researchers understand how the Red Planet transformed over time into a drier, less hospitable climate.
With a mass of nearly a ton, Curiosity is the largest rover ever deployed to another planet. Previously, NASA sent a pair of much smaller rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, to Mars in January 2004. Both rovers gathered a wide range of rock and soil data that have helped provide important information about the wet environments on ancient Mars that may have been favorable to supporting microbial life.

Scientists from the Japanese Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) met with colleagues from NNSA to work on on-going aerial and ground monitoring efforts following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011.
A key element of the meeting was the discussion of detailed analysis techniques which could be applied to the data collected in Japan by the NNSA response teams during the first month following the earthquake and tsunami. The purpose of the analyses is to obtain a better understanding of the radiological conditions during the early response period. The results from these analyses can aid in efforts to model the doses that may have been incurred during the incident. The meeting was held at the NNSA Nevada Site Office in Las Vegas, Nev. In attendance were scientific experts from the NNSA Consequence Management and Aerial Measuring System programs. The NNSA maintains the Aerial Measuring System (AMS) capability to respond to radiological and nuclear incidents in the U.S. The AMS uses specialized radiation detection systems mounted in aircraft to provide real-time measurements of ground contamination. These trained experts are in charge of maintaining a state of readiness to respond to a radiological emergency at any time. The teams are based out of Las Vegas, Nev., Washington, D.C., and Aiken, S.C.
Daniel B. Poneman, Deputy Secretary of Energy, today honored the five individuals from NNSA's national laboratories who have been named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards (PECASE) for Scientists and Engineers. Poneman presented each recipient with a plaque and praised each recipient for receiving the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.
The five PECASE recipients are Jeffrey W. Banks and Heather Whitley, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Amy J. Clarke, Los Alamos National Laboratory; and Stanley Atcitty and Daniel B. Sinars, Sandia National Laboratories.
President Obama yesterday honored the recipients at the White House.

An event featuring live music, a dunk tank and a barbeque was held yesterday as part of the 2012 Feds Feed Families campaign. The DOE-wide goal for this year is to collect 230,000 pounds of non-perishable food items, which will be donated to local food banks for direct distribution to those in need in the D.C. area. NNSA will host a variety of activities in August to help achieve the goal.
Big jobs are nothing new for the Projects Division at Pantex, and the award-winning installation of a new high explosives (HE) vertical turret lathe definitely qualifies as a big job, starting with the 10-ton weight of the machine itself.
Throw in the multi-ton blast wall that had to be craned out of the way, installation of all-new utilities and a greatly compressed timeline, and it becomes clear why completing the project on time and under budget earned a Project of the Year Award from the Amarillo chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI).
"There were things about this project that were tough, but it was a good project," said Marvin Moreland, project manager. "Everybody knew it had to be done right and on time, so everybody pitched in to make it happen. It was a real team effort."
Moreland and his 14-person-team joined with a crew of experts to bring in the $2.1 million project 50 days ahead of schedule and $145,000 under budget – a significant accomplishment given the critical need to install the project to meet increased production goals.
"They saved the day for us," said Greg Lehnick, logistics section manager for HE Manufacturing. "There were a lot of obstacles to doing something like this, but they got it done, and that allowed us to meet the customer's expectations."
The massive lathe is nearly identical to several others in use at Pantex, but this particular piece of equipment had not been manufactured since the 1980s, when the other lathes were installed and the building was constructed around them. Getting a lathe into an existing bay required a 25-ton-crane, removal of a blast wall and a team of about a dozen lifting experts. Once the lathe was in the bay, all of the utilities and fire suppression systems had to be modernized.
The lathes are used to machine HE parts for use in weapon life extension programs at Pantex. The lathe's massive size belies its sophistication, which allows it to machine parts to tolerances down to a thousandth of an inch. The entire process is so sensitive that the ambient temperature must be controlled to within a couple of degrees lest thermal expansion throw off the accuracy.
Moreland and his team members submitted their project to the newly-formed chapter of PMI in Amarillo, which chose it as Project of the Year. The real reward, however, comes in allowing Pantex to meet its production goals and accomplish its critical national security mission.
"Marvin and his team deserve congratulations for the hard work they put in to make this happen," said Dennis Huddleston, manager of the Projects Division at Pantex. "Their success demonstrates the dedication all Pantexans have to getting the job done right."

NNSA field office managers from across the enterprise gathered in Kansas City last week for a federal field leadership team meeting. During the trip, they toured the new Kansas City Plant, which is more than 80 percent complete.

The NNSA Stewardship Science Graduate Fellowship (SSGF) annual fellows' conference this week brought together its fellows, alumni, academic advisors and DOE laboratory and headquarters staff. Participants gathered to learn about current research in the areas of high energy density physics, nuclear science and materials under extreme conditions and hydrodynamics.
Now in its seventh year, five new fellows were recently welcomed into the program and participated in the annual conference. Each fellow is afforded the unique opportunity to complete a three-month practicum at one of the DOE's national defense laboratories. During the practicum experience, fellows are able to use some of the nation's largest and most sophisticated experimental and computational facilities to conduct their research.
Funded by NNSA and founded in 2006, the SSGF program is administered by the Krell Institute. The SSGF recognizes an ever-increasing demand for highly trained scientists in fields within science and engineering that are critical to stewardship science.

Construction has started on a 10,500-square-foot retail plaza owned by Watertown businessman Robert D. Ferris on Route 11 in the town of LeRay, which will include a Big Apple Music store.
To be located north of Freedom Plaza on the west side of Route 11, the 3,500-square-foot music store will be joined by two national restaurant chains at the plaza, Mr. Ferris said. Those undisclosed tenants, which will take up 1,500 and 3,000 square feet, are finalizing lease agreements.
Mr. Ferris, who owns Big Apple Music in Watertown, has partnered with West Carthage developer Michael E. Lundy to develop and market the plaza. Mr. Lundys construction firm, Lunco Corp., plans to finish construction of the plaza by the spring.
Lunco Corp. also is building the 7,400-square-foot AutoZone owned by Mr. Lundy to the immediate south of the planned plaza.
Last week, construction workers finished paving a quarter-mile loop that runs north from the AutoZone driveway to the plaza site, where a second entrance/exit will be located. Along with that connector road, which is co-owned by Mr. Ferris and Mr. Lundy, a parking lot with about 100 spaces for the plaza already has been paved.
Workers are expected to start erecting the plazas steel structure in the coming weeks.
Mike and I have been working on this plan for five years, waiting for the right time to do this with the economy going up and down, said Mr. Ferris, who purchased the property five years ago. Now the economy seems to be going up, and all of the pieces of the puzzle are going into place.
The Big Apple store will feature the same car audio merchandise it offers in Watertown, he said, along with more services geared toward serving the Fort Drum market.
It will be more service-oriented for the people on the base, and well do a little bit more with parts for cars and trucks, Mr. Ferris said.
In return for building the plaza, Mr. Lundy will acquire two acres of Mr. Ferriss parcel under the partnership. He also owns 15 acres of commercial property south of the plaza.
The AutoZone and retail plaza are part of a larger plan for commercial development at the site led by Mr. Lundy. He eventually plans to purchase about 200 acres of land that extends west from the site, which is owned by Robert J. and Janice M. Piatt of LeRay and Columbia LeRay LLC. Over time, the area is expected to evolve into a retail hub.
Back in 2002 when we developed Freedom Plaza, we recognized the potential for this property and the significance of its location, Mr. Lundy said in a release. Now, over 10 years later, its growth continues, and its potential continues to increase, especially with our direct access to the traffic light and ease of access on and off of Route 11.

LOWVILLE Most Lewis County residents would prefer to maintain a public hospital and appear more positive about their lifestyle and economic situation than in prior years, according to a 2012 survey conducted by the Center for Community Studies at Jefferson Community College, Watertown.
Among participants in the sixth annual Lewis County community survey, 58.3 percent said they would prefer Lewis County General Hospital remain county-owned, while only 17.1 percent would favor the facility becoming a private nonprofit entity. The remaining 24.6 percent were either unsure or preferred neither of the two options.
While current and former hospital employees or family members surveyed showed a 79.4 percent preference for keeping the facility county-owned, 55.5 percent of those without direct employment ties still favored a municipal hospital, while only 18 percent of nonemployees would approve of privatization.
If you pull that out, its still a three-to-one margin to keep it county-owned, said Raymond E. Petersen, political science professor and director of the center at JCC, told legislators Tuesday.
More than 52 percent of respondents approved of an annual county subsidy to help offset operating deficits at the hospital, with 23.5 percent comfortable with up to $500,000, 22.9 percent with $500,000 to $1 million, 3.6 percent with $1 million to $2 million and 2.4 percent with more than $2 million.
Nearly 19 percent were opposed to any subsidy, while 29 percent were unsure.
In another first-time question, 89.3 percent of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that tourism has a beneficial impact on the local economy, with 79 percent suggesting the county should invest in tourism promotion and marketing. There was 28.8 percent support for up to $50,000, 37.1 percent for $50,000 to $100,000, 8.9 percent for $100,000 to $200,000 and 4.1 percent for more than $200,000.
The survey also included many ongoing questions that, for the most part, showed a slightly improved trend in quality of life and economic outlook.
Asked about their overall quality of life, 77 percent of respondents rated it as either excellent or good. Thats up from 73 percent last year.
The percentage of those rating the overall state of the economy as excellent or good jumped from 19.3 percent to 30.4 percent. Thats the highest rate since 35.2 percent in the inaugural survey in 2007.
The survey also shows 79 percent of respondents finding health care quality as excellent or good, with 72 percent feeling the same about health care access, 83 percent for outdoor recreational opportunities, 70 percent for availability of care of the elderly, 46 percent for access to higher education and even 27 percent for real estate taxes. Each are all-time highs over the six-year history of the study.
Residents report the highest levels of satisfaction with the quality of the environment, quality of kindergarten through grade 12 education, public outdoor recreational opportunities, health care quality and the overall quality of life.
The most dissatisfaction is seen in availability of good jobs, the cost of energy, real estate taxes and the overall state of the local economy.
Only 87.3 percent of respondents said they have safe and affordable housing, down from 96.7 percent last year.
In another first-time question, 38.2 percent of respondents felt the states new teacher evaluation system would improve the quality of public education, while 14.5 percent said it would make it worse. The remaining 47.3 percent said either it would have no effect or they were unsure.
Fifty-eight percent also supported elimination of federal income tax cuts for those earning more than $250,000 annually, while nearly 33 percent favored keeping the cuts intact.
Results were compiled from 421 telephone interviews of random county residents Oct. 15 and 16. The 67-question survey has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Basic Information
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
Since its inception in 1995, EPA's Brownfields Program has grown into a proven, results-oriented program that has changed the way contaminated property is perceived, addressed, and managed. EPA's Brownfields Program is designed to empower states, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. It is estimated that there are more than 450,000 brownfields in the U.S. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties increases local tax bases, facilitates job growth, utilizes existing infrastructure, takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment. Initially, EPA provided small amounts of seed money to local governments that launched hundreds of two-year brownfield "pilot" projects. Through passage of the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act, effective polices that EPA had developed over the years were passed into law. The Brownfields Law expanded EPA's assistance by providing new tools for the public and private sectors to promote sustainable brownfields cleanup and reuse.
Brownfields grants continue to serve as the foundation of EPA's Brownfields Program. These grants support revitalization efforts by funding environmental assessment, cleanup, and job training activities. Brownfields Assessment Grants provide funding for brownfield inventories, planning, environmental assessments, and community outreach. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grants provide funding to capitalize loans that are used to clean up brownfields. Brownfields Job Training Grants provide environmental training for residents of brownfields communities. Brownfields Cleanup Grants provide direct funding for cleanup activities at certain properties with planned greenspace, recreational, or other nonprofit uses.
EPA's investment in the Brownfields Program has resulted in many accomplishments, including leveraging more than $14.0 billion in brownfields cleanup and redevelopment funding from the private and public sectors and leveraging approximately 60,917 jobs. The momentum generated by the Program is leaving an enduring legacy. The Brownfields Program and its partners have provided guidance and incentives to support economic revitalization, and empowered communities to address the brownfields in their midst. EPA's Brownfield Program continues to look to the future by expanding the types of properties it addresses, forming new partnerships, and undertaking new initiatives to help revitalize communities across the nation.

- EPA's Brownfields Mission:
EPA's Brownfields Program is designed to empower states, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. EPA's Brownfields Program provides financial and technical assistance for brownfields activities through an approach based on four main goals:
- Protecting the Environment Addressing brownfields to ensure the health and well-being of America's people and environment.
- Promoting Partnerships Enhancing collaboration and communication essential to facilitate brownfields cleanup and reuse.
- Strengthening the Marketplace Providing financial and technical assistance to bolster the private market.
- Sustaining Reuse Redeveloping brownfields to enhance a community's long-term quality of life.
- Brownfields Definition: Provides a complete legal definition of the term brownfields.

18 U.S. Code § 752 - Instigating or assisting escape
(a) Whoever rescues or attempts to rescue or instigates, aids or assists the escape, or attempt to escape, of any person arrested upon a warrant or other process issued under any law of the United States, or committed to the custody of the Attorney General or to any institution or facility by his direction, shall, if the custody or confinement is by virtue of an arrest on a charge of felony, or conviction of any offense, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both; or, if the custody or confinement is for extradition, or for exclusion or expulsion proceedings under the immigration laws, or by virtue of an arrest or charge of or for a misdemeanor, and prior to conviction, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
(b) Whoever rescues or attempts to rescue or instigates, aids, or assists the escape or attempted escape of any person in the custody of the Attorney General or his authorized representative, or of any person arrested upon a warrant or other process issued under any law of the United States or from any institution or facility in which he is confined by direction of the Attorney General, shall, if the custody or confinement is by virtue of a lawful arrest for a violation of any law of the United States not punishable by death or life imprisonment and committed before such person's eighteenth birthday, and as to whom the Attorney General has not specifically directed the institution of criminal proceedings, or by virtue of a commitment as a juvenile delinquent under section 5034 of this title, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 246, 247, 252, 661, 662c, 753i, 910 (R.S. § 5277; Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §§ 141, 143,35 Stat. 1114; May 14, 1930, ch. 274, § 10,46 Stat. 327; May 27, 1930, ch. 339, § 10,46 Stat. 390; Mar. 22, 1934, ch. 73, § 2,48 Stat. 455; May 18, 1934, ch. 303, § 1,48 Stat. 782).
Section consolidated escape and rescue provisions of sections 246, 247, 252, 661, 662c, 753i, and 910 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Remaining provisions of those sections are in sections 1071, 1072, 1502, 1792, 3183, and 3195 of this title.
No two sections provided the same punishment. Every section except said section 252 made the offense a misdemeanor by providing for fines varying from $500 to $1,000 and terms of imprisonment varying from 6 months to 1 year. Said section 252, representing the latest expression by Congress, provided for 10 years' imprisonment.
The punishment provision was adopted from section 751 of this title, which makes it unlawful for a prisoner to escape from his place of confinement. Thus the same punishment would apply to the person aiding in an escape as to the person escaping.
The language of this section reconciles the conflict by adopting a penalty which is a compromise between the varying provisions.
Reference to "extradition" was inserted to avoid ambiguity and to harmonize section with section 751 of this title.
References to "force" were omitted as well as those to "officer" or "custody." See definition of "Rescue," Black's Law Dictionary, citing 4 Bl. Comm. 131.
Changes were made in phraseology.
2002—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 107–273substituted "or conviction of any offense, be fined under this title" for "or conviction of any offense, be fined not more than $5,000".
1994—Subsecs. (a), (b). Pub. L. 103–322substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $1,000".
1988—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 100–690inserted ", or for exclusion or expulsion proceedings under the immigration laws," after "extradition".
1965—Pub. L. 89–176inserted "or facility" after "institution".
1963—Pub. L. 88–251designated existing provisions as subsec. (a) and added subsec. (b).
1956—Act May 28, 1956, inserted ", or attempt to escape," after "escape".

Janis Joplin
AP Photo/File
Janis Joplin, who died in 1970 at the age of 27, was a riveting contradiction. She was overpowering and deeply vulnerable, brassy and shy, stylized and direct, indomitable and masochistic. She took the tough rasp of old blues shouters and made it her own by bringing out pain and tension to match the bravado. With magnificent timing Joplin made it seem as if she was pouring out unvarnished emotion.— Jon Pareles
