Add telephony and voice capabilities to your unified communications environment
IBM® Sametime® Unified Telephony integrates telecommunications into your existing unified communications (UC) environment, so people can easily use more cost-effective telephony features. It provides one-number access to any device through rules-based intelligence, in-call management features and a softphone that allows users to place and receive calls from virtually anywhere. It masks the complexity of back-end integration with a middleware layer that provides connectivity to multiple telephone systems—both IP private branch exchange (PBX) and legacy time-division multiplexing (TDM) systems—allowing you to take advantage of your existing infrastructure.
IBM Sametime Unified Telephony features include:
- Presence and telephony awareness, unified phone numbers and incoming call management that show at a glance whether you are available and make it easier for callers to reach you.
- Softphone, click-to-call, click-to-conference and call control features that let you initiate, manage and control calls easily.
- IBM Sametime Unified Telephony dialer on Apple iOS and Google Android devices that enables you to make calls from your one unified phone number even when you are working away from your computer.
- A simple, consistent user communications experience on the desktop client that lets you access and manage your communications from the context of what you are doing.
- A unified communications platform that offers connectivity to back-end telephony systems with features for reliability, scalability and easier management and helps insulate the user experience from future changes to the telephony infrastructure.
Presence and telephony awareness, unified phone numbers and incoming call management
- Show at a glance whether it is appropriate to start a conversation now by providing telephony status indicators (showing on the phone or off the phone) and online presence information.
- Provide colleagues with your single unified phone number that allows callers to reach you regardless of your current location.
- Easily set rules based on caller, time of day, status and location to route your calls, such as to redirect a call to a mobile phone after work hours. You can also set your preferred device based on your availability and location status, or route calls to an alternative device if the first device is not answered.
Softphone, click-to-call, click-to-conference and call control features
- Initiate and manage phone calls through a feature-rich telephony client using your preferred device. The client includes the IBM Sametime softphone that uses the computer's built-in microphone and speakers, a USB speakerphone or a headset.
- Take advantage of your company's network and telephony infrastructure to easily make and receive calls from virtually wherever you are, so that you can reduce international or roaming fees and use your company's existing least-cost routing.
- Initiate a call or audio conference through a PBX telephone system by selecting one or multiple names from the contact list. Or if you are collaborating with instant messaging (IM) and decide to escalate from IM to a call or audio conference, use the click-to-call, click-to-conference capability—with intelligent name and number recognition inside the text chat window or chat history to speed that transition.
- Use call control capabilities to: click-to-call and click-to-conference; accept, reject or redirect an incoming call; transfer or forward a call; raise or lower volume; mute or unmute calls; move an active call to another device; merge calls; hold and resume calls; and disconnect calls.
- Use multi-way call features to enable moderators to mute one or all participants; lock calls; invite others to a call; and end calls for everyone.
IBM Sametime Unified Telephony dialer on Apple iOS and Google Android devices
- Use the IBM Sametime Unified Telephony dialer included in the IBM Sametime client for Apple iPhone and iPad and Android devices to initiate outgoing voice calls with your IBM Sametime Unified Telephony number. When IBM Sametime Unified Telephony software initiates an incoming call to your mobile phone, the outgoing caller ID will display your unified number.
- Override your default call routing rule directly from your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
- Specify an alternative device, such as a local landline or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone, to use when initiating voice calls using IBM Sametime Unified Telephony. The software can initiate a call to the alternative device instead of your mobile phone, which helps further reduce international long distance and roaming charges.
A simple, consistent user communications experience on the desktop client
- Access and manage communications from a single IBM Sametime or IBM Lotus Notes® client; a Microsoft® Outlook, Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Office application; or an enterprise application—whichever is your preferred work style.
- Easily move from an instant message to a call or conference.
- Provide a consistent user experience and set of functions independent of the phone system to which users are connected. This is in contrast to other offerings that provide a softphone that works only with a specific vendor's PBX and may require full migration to IP telephony before delivering a common set of UC capabilities to users.
A unified communications platform
- Let the back-end middleware layer of IBM Sametime Unified Telephony software mask the complexity of back-end integration by providing connectivity to multiple telephone systems, so you can provide UC functionality without removing and replacing existing phone systems. The software connects through Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to SIP-compliant PBXs from multiple vendors using SIP, and it connects to legacy TDM phone systems through SIP gateways.
- Reduce or eliminate the need for desk phone expenditures and home office lines by providing softphones to remote and office workers.
- Provide high availability of call control services, scaling to hundreds or hundreds of thousands of users, and optimize system performance with clustering and load-balancing features.
- Configure, monitor and manage deployment using a single administration console that can check server status, monitor call volume and call activity, manage license usage, and view and edit SIP proxy properties.
- Use IBM Sametime client plug-ins and software development kits to make IBM Sametime Unified Telephony capabilities available within applications to help speed business processes.

Mount Sill Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|North Couloir
Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2005
|Heavy packs, sun cups, glissading, and post holing does it get any better? Four of us on a two day trip via the north branch of the Big Pine Creek. Cheers.

|Swiss Arete
Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006
|climbed with ttriche from SP; a route with great views and really no harder than 5.6, after free climbing the first pitch or two, we did a running-belay up the remainder. weather was perfect but there was endless postholes waiting for us on our way back down.

|Swiss Arete-Winter attempts
Date Climbed: Feb 19, 1993
|Bryan Johnson and I skied to the Mt. Galey Morraine in February 1993 from the Glacier Lodge and next day broke the trail via deep snow all the way to the base of the Swiss Arete. Next day we got on the Arete and climbed several pitches before being forced to rap due to exteremely strong, arctic wind coming from the western side. It was just way too cold, even with our one piece suits, plastic boots and down, we could not continue. That reminds me that Miguel Carmona and I tried the same thing (I guess I don't learn too quickly)in the early 80s and never actually touched the arete, got stormed on and burried in heavy snow fall somewhere at the base. Remember the temperatures were at-17 F in the tent at night. We bailed by skiing the wide gully between Temple Crag and Mt.Galey down to Third Lake.

|V Notch Ice gully
Date Climbed: Oct 6, 1986
|Bill Oliver and I climbed the V Notch with the direct start
(over the schrund) in October of 1986. All I remember is the direct start which included a wild move over the lip of the schrund hanging off of a tool placed above the lip. I also remember going down to the glacier via the very dangerous terrain from the middle of the ridge between V Notch and Sill and finding it extremely unstable, steep and dangerous terrain. There is much easier if longer way down. Go almost all the way to the summit of Sill and descend either the snow field or the adjacent rock buttress down to the Col. It is much safer that way especially in view of the several accidents that occured (on the first down route described)in the last few years. This of course assumes that one camps somewhere close to Gailey rather then on Palisades Glacier.

|Route Climbed: Swiss Arete (Direct Buttress variation) Date Climbed: August 20, 2005
|Fantastic route! Mike Ybarra and I started from our base camp at Third Lake. Mike missed the famous step-around move and instead led us up the '5.9 direct buttresss variation' (as per Secor), which featured a stellar yet pumpy hand crack. Way to go, Mike! Incredible views from the summit. On the descent, we discovered that a good part of the West face is covered with fresh snow and ice. Four dicey rappels later, we finally got to the top of North couloir and downclimbed/glissaded back to the glacier. Got off route on the hike out and found ourselves on the slabs above Sam Mack Meadows. Had *just* enough daylight to rappel into the moat near the east side of the meadows and find the trail. A great and long day!

10 Best Android Apps For Your Health
Everyone's concerned about their health nowadays. That should be expected considering the sort of lives most people lead. However, it can be a pain to keep track of exactly what's needed to stay healthy – calories consumed and burned, blood pressure, and all the other statistics also seem pretty intimidating. Add to that the fact that we all live lives that keep us on the go.
Thankfully, there are quite a few apps that can help users maintain their trim and fit selves. Here are several of the best apps on the Android Market.
1. Nike BOOM
First of all, users need something to get themselves pumped up to exercise. That's where Nike BOOM comes in. App users choose a workout and music choice and the app will deliver encouragement so that they can reach that final mile. The music and the workout records aren't just the only feature though – premier athletes will be giving inspiration as they tell exercisers to push themselves to the limit. Facebook integration also manages to update friends about real-time progress, hoping for those "likes" to rev users up.
2. Backpacker GPS Trails
Running aimlessly won't help nerds get back into shape – what they need is a plan. What better way to make that plan than via GPS? Backpacker GPS Trails helps organize that morning run. With this app, a smartphone becomes a GPS – which works independent of cell networks. Maps are easily reached and trails can be tracked. Users can even send out Facebook updates. More importantly, this app keeps a record of the trail runner's performance, just in case they want to compare against their previous record.
3. Endomondo Sports Tracker
For those with a more urban bent, Endomondo Sports Tracker is a great app for use in cities. Runners, cyclists, and walkers will find that this app will be an excellent workout companion. First of all is the GPS function – which makes sure the user is never lost in whatever city they are. Next is the audio feedback; every mile has the app giving encouragement, while friends can record pep talks for the user. It's also got distance, time, and calories burnt recorded. For those with a more competitive bent, they can try to beat their friends' times or the current champion's time – which is a great way to put some fire in some people's bellies.
4. Calorie Counter
Now for the other part of the fitness equation: nutrition. Healthy eating makes sure that people don't chow down more than they burn – which is a basic principle of losing weight. For that, smart phone owners should go for fatsecret's Calorie Counter. This app has several features that will definitely help keep people's weights down. First is the food diary, which schedules meals. This feature in combination with a diet calendar, which tracks calories consumed and burned, will help greatly in lowering calorie intake. For those who like eating out, there's also some current nutritional info on popular restaurants and food chains, as well as a barcode scanner for those shopping at their grocery store.
5. BMI Calculator
A person's Body Mass Index is their key to making sure they're not overweight. It can be a bit complicated to total it all up, but with Woytek's BMI Calculator, users should be able to determine their BMI. Note this app is for normal people and not super-athletes – if someone wants to know how he or she measures up to the average then this app is it. It handles both metric and imperial units, so with a simple option switch people don't have to scramble for their conversion tables.
6. Soleil Organics
Another way to eat healthy is to eat organic. However, it can be a bit difficult to understand some of the labels on these products – also, there are some products that masquerade as "organic" but really aren't. Soleil Organics is an app for discerning buyers to make sure they aren't fooled by organic labels. It also provides tips on what food to choose. The food list is a bit limited right now but expect an update to that as this app becomes more popular.
7. Instant Heart Rate Pro
The heart is one of the body's most important organs. With Instant Heart Rate Pro, smart phone owners can be assured that their ticker is doing great. Right now, this app is the most accurate way to measure a person's heart rate on the platform – and this is without any added equipment. All it needs is for the user to place their index finger on the phone's camera and in a few seconds a real time heart monitor will be available. This is very useful when tailoring workouts or for those with heart conditions. Plus, its accuracy is constantly being tested, so users can be sure that the app works perfectly.
8. First Aid
Being healthy isn't just about keeping fit. It's also about being able to handle medical emergencies. First Aid, an app from Health Team, is the best bet for anyone in an emergency. A simple guide for any situation, the app is a boon for anyone trying to treat someone in need or participating in a rescue effort. Proper application of first aid can mean life or death in some situations and this app makes sure that whatever help can be given is given properly.
9. ePocrates
Proper diagnosis and treatment is another side of keeping healthy. For those times that someone needs medical info on their condition or some drug info, ePocrates is there. Used by a majority of US physicians, this app is the leading drug reference on the market. It's essentially a pharmacist in an app and would be a great help for anyone taking regular medication.
10. Pocket Yoga
With all the physical sides handled, let's talk about the mental side of health. Pocket Yoga lets users have access to a detailed Yoga instruction guide to ease their bodies and minds. With over three different practices, three different difficulty levels and three different durations, it totals up to twenty-seven different sessions. All of this is clearly presented with detailed instructions and images – it's like having a portable Yoga instructor. This is a great help for anyone looking a bit of peace of mind in their daily life.

What It Is
What It Is
Magic Zoo is the latest playset in the Moon Dough line of products. Now kids can use Moon Dough, the moldable dough that never dries out, to create zoo animals. First, place one of the included Winder Walkers figures (a figure with a wind-up mechanism) into the zoo gate. Then stuff one of the molds with Moon Dough. Lock the mold into the zoo gate. Turn the handle and the mold drops down on top of the figure. When it is ready, kids will hear a pop and the mold will open to reveal a Moon Dough animal all wound up and walking around. The set comes with three animal molds (penguin, bear, and gorilla), three packages of colored moon dough, two Winder Walkers, a sticker sheet, a fence mold, and a Magic Cage that holds the molds in place.
Why It's Fun
This playset allows kids to make their own animals, which is fun, but then kids also get to make those animals walk. It's neat to see the Moon Dough animal "magically" pop out of the mold and begin walking around. Little kids will really enjoy that surprise. And because Moon Dough never dries out, kids can create animals over and over again.
Who It's For
Moon Dough Magic Zoo is for kids ages 3 and up.
What to Be Aware of
The Magic Zoo won't work if the Winder Walkers and Magic Cage aren't locked in, so make sure each is secure before cranking the handle. Also, do not overstuff the molds.
Moon Dough can be messy, so set up an area for kids where it's okay to get messy.
For children with gluten allergies, Moon Dough is wheat-free.

CARTHAGE Replicating a festival full of food and friends, the annual summer feeding program kickoff Wednesday at the village park got families excited about summer fun.
Children jumped rope, participated in Zumba, visited with local emergency personnel and received free toys and health information among conversation with friends during the event, which was held at the Summer Feeding Programs host site of the Carthage Summer Recreation program.
Summer feeding is a federal program overseen in Jefferson County by the Community Action Planning Council of Jefferson County and the Watertown City School District. The kickoff was organized for the 17 CAPC-sponsored sites. More than 100 children were expected to attend the kickoff event, but tens of thousands of breakfasts, lunches and snacks are expected to be served through the program this summer.
These events bring focus to what this is about, said Sharon A. Bouchard, CAPCs family center director. Theyre better prepared to go back to school in September.
Mrs. Bouchard said that is because many recreation sites that participate in the program offer a variety of activities throughout the summer to keep children engaged in learning. Any child younger than 19, or up to 21 if disabled, may attend any CAPC- or Watertown City School District-sponsored site.
I think its really good, too, for the kids to be able to eat healthy, village resident Shannon M. Wormwood said.
She walked to the park, off Park Drive, with her 7-year-old daughter, Hailey Heesh, from their home downtown.
When my daughters not in school, shes bored. Kids need something to do, Ms. Wormwood said.
Wednesdays lunch consisted of a special meal of grilled all-beef hot dogs, with milk, carrots and pear. While the hot dog is not a typical CAPC protein source for the program, lunches always have milk, fruit and vegetable. Common lunch protein items are peanut butter and jelly, bologna, tuna salad and egg salad sandwiches.
All meals meet the state Education Departments nutrition standards, Mrs. Bouchard said.
Many community agencies came out Wednesday to support the kickoff, and members of the countys dairy court served ice cream sundaes, with ice cream and toppings donated by Stewarts Shops.
The program runs through Aug. 30, with varying times and dates for each site. For specific locations, or to volunteer at a site, call CAPC Family Center Coordinator Mary J. Mathewson at 782-4900, ext. 233, or Watertown City School District food service director Craig P. Orvis at 785-3717.

Texans in support of the exceedingly popular anti-TSA groping bill, which garnered national attention, experienced yet another harried ascent on the roller-coaster that has been the bill's life in this legislative session. After being stomped by Speaker of the Texas House Joe Straus last week, passage appeared all but lost in the special session, but the House yesterday managed to pass a weakened version. It was sent to the Senate and a surprise move by Senator Dan Patrick restored some teeth to the bill, which had been so watered down it had even lost support from some grass roots movements. Passage by the Senate sent the bill back to the House today, and it appears victory may be snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Jay Z gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Beyonce's second surprise?
There's a rumour going around about a new "surprise" album which… wouldn't be a surprise anymore if it's true. Billboard is pointing to a "Release Confirmation" that seems to suggest that Beyonce: Volume 2 is on the way on November 14 (online release) featuring collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake. Full Story
The Carters renewed
Mike Coppola/ Getty
PEOPLE reported yesterday that Beyonce and JayZ are the opposite of totally breaking up, which is what the headlines were a couple of months ago. According to their source: "They did have major problems. But they worked it out and they've renewed their vows. Full Story
Beyonce's Reality Bites
Wenn, Splash
I can't believe it took me this long to figure out what Beyonce's new hair was reminding me of. Vickie! Realty Bites! It's one of my favourite movies. And it's not just the short blunt thick bangs. It's also Vickie's style. Vickie dressed like a 1950s housewife took a bath in grunge. Full Story
Beyonce's new blunt
FameFlynet, Ada/ Getty
Beyonce, JayZ, and the Blue Ivy Carter were at the Gare du Nord Station in Paris today. As you can see, B is wearing a heinous new hairstyle/wig. And, worse, it's totally off brand. This, after all, is the person who gets the Louvre shut down so that she and her family can enjoy a private tour. Full Story
The Carters: Paris art and a secret new album?
Beyonce and JayZ took the Blue Ivy Carter to the Louvre yesterday. They've been playing happy Parisian family for a few weeks now since the end of the On The Run tour. Please note Blue's leather jacket. It's SKIRTED. It's gorgeous. Is it better than any leather jacket you've ever had? I thought so. Full Story
The Carters: Parisian private property
Beyonce and JayZ were seen in Paris today viewing a private property, according to the paps, leading to speculation that they may be looking to buy there. As mentioned the other day, they are particularly fond of Paris because that's where Jay proposed and also where the Blue Ivy Carter was conceived. Full Story
The Carters & Beckham
Today in Paris at the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. vs Barcelona F.C. football match. Sitting together. Hanging together. Laughing together. Unfortunately no Posh. The last I saw Posh was back in London at her flagship which isn't even a week old. Maybe David's inviting Beyonce and JayZ to come check it out. Full Story
The Carters: home video up close
If you had tickets to On The Run, these videos that Beyonce has been releasing will be familiar to you. Problem is, when you're in the arena, it's hard to pay attention to every detail. They were on stage. The lights were all over the place. There are people in front of you. It's not like when you're watching it on your own personal device, picking apart every detail. Full Story
Champagne means they're breaking up again
KCS Presse/ Splash
JayZ changed the lyrics to a song in Paris the other night about being pregnant with a second one, or something, and the Carter narrative quickly changed from divorce to baby. Then Life+Times tweeted this photo yesterday of Beyonce and Jay after On The Run showing Beyonce with a champagne glass which means… #OnTheRunTour Full Story
The Blueprint 2
Beyonce and JayZ's On The Run tour ended in Paris this weekend. A month ago, according to US Weekly and Page Six, that would also represent the end of their personal relationship. Supposedly B was already making moves to divorce. But all this gossip only came out of the elevator incident. Before that, it all seemed fine. Full Story
Dear Gossips,Beyonce and JayZ play two shows in Paris tonight and tomorrow to end the On The Run tour. These performances will be filmed for HBO and will air next weekend, for those subscribers who've not had the opportunity to see the show live. Read Full Intro
The happy Carter holiday
FameFlynet, INF
They were in Portofino. Taking time off to celebrate her birthday which was last week. Not sure how that's unlike every other day. Aren't we always celebrating Beyonce? Beyonce wanted to reward us for celebrating her. So she posted a photo of herself, obviously, on Instagram, contorting her body, because nothing says "thank you fans" like giving the world an opportunity to marvel at her body. Full Story
Yeah B!
Jason Merritt/ Getty
It was Beyonce's 33rd birthday yesterday. She celebrated in the south of France with the Blue Ivy Carter and JayZ. Click here to see pictures. I think that's Tina Knowles. There's another angle to all this speculation as to whether or not the Carters are a mess behind closed doors or whether or not they've just been playing. Full Story
The Carters' Happy Labour Day weekend
Michael Buckner/ Getty Images
Oh look. It's Beyonce and JayZ at his Made In America Festival on Sunday night. He's touching her, and rather intimately. She looks like she's enjoying it. She also knows she's being photographed. So, by all means, please continue to speculate. You want more to speculate about? Check her Instagram Full Story

Whether you grew up watching Baywatch or it just seemed to always be on while you were high in your college dorm room, the image of Erika Eleniak as original Baywatch babe Shauni McClain running in a red one-piece bathing suit is as embedded in your memory of that time period as Hammer pants or flannel shirts. Thankfully, it is way more visually pleasing to look at photos of the beautiful Erika Eleniak than David Hasselhoff strutting around in swim trunks, and even her name should bring a smile to most of us with an X and Y chromosome who remember the '90s. With her girl-next-door smile, platinum blonde hair, striking eyebrows and a bounce on the beach that was larger than her brows (and just as natural), she was many a young man's crush.
Before Eleniak found herself dealing with some cheesy plot twists on the set of Baywatch, she graced the cover — and more importantly to teenage boys at the time, the middle — of Playboy as Ms. July, 1989. In 1992, the same year she decided to leave the beach and the Hoff behind, Eleniak starred alongside Steven Seagal as Jordan Tate (who also happened to be Miss July, 1989) in Under Siege. Besides being the most entertaining of the Die Hard clones of the time, Under Siege has a very memorable scene in which Eleniak jumps topless out of a cake. Of course, Seagal's stone face expression doesn't change when he sees her, proving he is indeed a robot.
Eleniak went on to play Ellie May Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies movie and act alongside another master thespian, Dennis Miller, in the B-Movie Bordello of Blood. She acted in TV movies like Fatal Lessons: The Good Teacher in 2004 and still can be seen in independent films and Lifetime movies like 2011's Holiday Spin. True film nerds most likely already know that Eleniak was the girl that Elliot boldly kissed in the classroom in E.T. Sure, Elliott got to meet an alien, but how many boys can say they got to kiss a future playmate?
Enjoy 20 of our favorite Erika Eleniak photos in the gallery above, and a few video clips of her in action below, and tell us: Who's your classic '90s crush?

Take Up Space
Explore the depths of the galaxy from the comfort of your own couch—no telescope necessary!—with this soft and stellar reuse of eye-catching fabric scraps handcrafted by mother-daughter duo, Deborah Fell and Sara Sandler-Greisberg.
During the 1970s, while pregnant with her daughter, Sara, Deborah Fell created her own quilting business, inspired greatly by the quilting movement whose participants recognized that quilts could display abstract art much like the paintings that were popular at the time. As a child, Sara grew up immersed in her mother's craft, and she watched with wonder as reams of vivid, reclaimed fabrics were snipped and stitched into snuggly works of art. When Sara started a family of her own, she teamed up with her mother to bring the tradition of quilting and handicraft to a new generation of crafters—her children.
The mother-daughter duo's darling pieces of home décor incorporate endearing touches like frayed edges and zigzag stitch work to give each piece a bit of folk art charm and to pay homage to a homey aesthetic fashioned by earlier generations of cloth artists.
This lovingly handmade art piece features a dazzling snippet of the world above and adds warmth and cheer to the rooms occupied by the littlest stargazers under your roof. Handmade in Larchmont, New York.
Due to the recycled and handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Sara R Sandler and Deborah Fell
During the 1970's while pregnant with her daughter Sara, co-founder Deborah Fell created a patchwork quilt business called the "Strawberry Patch". Sara grew up absorbing and cultivating all the unique and creative ways in which to use these bountiful fabrics . Once she had children of her own, she began making clothes for them straight from those very fabric bins she played with as a child. Sara and Debbie have worked together on since 2009, creating unique, one of a kind appliques and artwork out of vintage and repurposed fabrics. Taking something old and remaking it into a new and modern way is at the heart of Sara and Debbie's work. Their "patchwork" fabric is created out of their own remnants - virtually EVERYTHING in the design studio gets worked into the appliques. The ultimate in recycling!! collection

This phone is literally an office on the go. Preloaded with Microsoft Office Mobil, Outlook, and a PDF reader the quick touch display easily enters memos, and emails with speed and accuracy. The pan and flick coupled with a drop and drag icon application is the first of its kind to utilize a finger friendly multitouch platform.
An Internet Explorer page load with IE memory management offers many office functions as well as social networking. The phone is preloaded with Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, twitter, CNN, YouTube, and Skype, now that is a powerful punch. The 3.2 megapixel camera takes sharp photos you can email or send to your computer. A 3.5mm audio jack with WiFi and microSD expansion will be sure to please your listening needs.

Psychology Without Borders: Providing Hope and Healing in the Face of Adversity
Adversity takes many forms: disaster, conflict, ill health, family crisis, crime and so much more. Helping people cope, adjust and recover from adversity is a major interest in psychology and related fields that are well represented at TC. An Academic Festival panel on "Psychology Without Borders" presented ways in which new research is shaping more effective ways of helping people and communities in all cultures weather the emotional and psychological effects of crisis.
Through 10 years of research in AIDS-ravaged areas of southern Uganda, Lena Verdeli, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education, found that a form of group therapy led by trained community members could significantly reduce the paralyzing depression that was afflicting many people.
"We started with an ethnographic assessment, to understand local idioms of distress," Verdeli said, adding that local traditional healers had to sanction the project. The protocols of interpersonal therapy also needed modifying, to recognize age, gender and other roles in the local society.
The findings –that people in therapy developed more hope for
the future, became more productive in their agricultural labor, and were more
willing to pay school fees for their children – exceeded Verdeli's expectations.
She had been worried at the outset, she says: "Who are we to intervene? Is this
colonial? Shouldn't we be addressing poverty and war instead? Can we really do
a rigorous trial?" Instead she came away with a very different conclusion: "No
mental health, no development."
Claudia Cohen, TC Lecturer and Associate Director of the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution (ICCCR), described work that the ICCCR is doing with the Fortune Academy, in Harlem, which provides wraparound support to formerly incarcerated individuals. Here too, careful attention to the setting is crucial, Cohen said. Along with such techniques as careful listening and separating the problem from the person, understanding conflict styles and the way conflict gets expressed in different cultures – even those within neighborhoods or schools -- is a step toward resolving and preventing it.
"We're working with them to allow people who come from cultures of violence to learn skills of non-violence," Cohen said. Integral part of the project is to form a community of shared learning between TC, the academy, and its clients.
Conflict does not always have to end up in destruction,
Cohen said. As if to echo this, George Bonanno, Professor of Psychology and
Education and Professor of Clinical Psychology, shared key findings of his
long-standing program of research on resilience. "Bad things" happen
frequently, Bonanno said, and what is remarkable is how often we weather them.
"Over the course of a life span, almost everyone faces the death of loved ones,
and most people are exposed to one or several violent or life-threatening
events. They can be devastating and disturbing, but we often survive them quite
People affected by a particular event or type of adversity typically display one of three response patterns, Bonanno said. One is a chronic, severe adverse effect; another is an adverse effect that gradually decreases over time; and the third is a lesser effect that never becomes severe. That third, "minimal-impact, resilient outcome" typically describes a majority of the affected population, and sometimes up to two-thirds.
So what explains resilience? There is no simple explanation, Bonanno said. "Resilience is not informed by one or two things. There are likely many different routes to the same end."

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The fifth annual Congressional Women's Softball Game is one week away.
It's a battle between bi-partisan congresswomen and the Capitol Hill press corps. Ahead of the game, WUSA9's Kristin Fisher scoped out both teams' practices to get an inside look at this fight for softball supremacy.
"These are the most competitive women in the world, outside of the Olympics," said Abby Livingston, a political reporter for CQ Roll Call. "It's a very, very competitive grudge match."
Livingston is a captain on the Press Team, also known as the Bad News Babes.
"We are the defending world champions of Congressional Women's Softball. That's how we refer to ourselves," said Livingston, who helped the Bad News Babes triumph over the Members of Congress in 2012.
Maryland Congresswoman Donna Edwards calls Livingston, "My Nemesis!"
"We've been doing some serious trash talking over the years," says Edwards, who's played in the Congressional Women's Softball Game all five years.
Edwards may appear to be buttoned-up on Capitol Hill, but she is a beast at first base. During a particularly brutal practice at the end of May, Edwards collided with a teammate at first base.
"I got creamed at first base and it knocked me out! I broke my nose!" said Edwards. "In previous years, I've injured my knee. I've broken my hand. Now, I'm all healed, ready to go, ready to win."
For the last two-and-a-half months, both teams have held hour-long practices two to three times a week before work.
"Can you imagine? Two-and-a-half months of practice to play one game?" said Edwards. "We are really aggressively practicing. We get up. We do conditioning. We run. We field."
Players from both teams admit to spying on each others' practices.
"I don't know if I would call it spying. I would call it coincidental power walking," said Livingston.
On Twitter, the trash-talking is a daily occurrence ahead of the game.
"I was just innocently tweeting about golf. I asked, 'How do you spell choke? Sergio!' And what do the Bad News Babe's come back and say? They say, 'C-o-n-g-r-e-s-s.' In your dreams!"
Despite the talk, there's a tremendous amount of pride among both teams that this game is even possible.
"This has actually been some of the most fun that I've had since I've been in Congress and part of the reason is because you just get to know people in a completely different way," said Edwards.
"I think what's amazing is that you could not have had this game twenty years ago. It's really great that there are this many women in Congress," said Livingston.
It's a rivalry that's rich with mutual respect. But on game day, it could get ugly.
"Bad News Babes, you're going to be on the losing end," said Edwards.
"Game on Congresswoman!" replied Livingston.
The game will take place Wednesday, June 26th at 7 p.m. at the Watkins Recreation Center on Capitol Hill. Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to the Young Survival Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for young women with breast cancer. For more information, visit the Congressional Women's Softball Game's website.

Read: A Different Approach On Trading Assets For Rick Nash
Reader Andrew C emailed me and said that he would include Derek Stepan or Michael Del Zotto in a deal for Rick Nash.
His reasoning was, "Too often we focus on what we are giving up, and not what we are receiving. No player in any proposed package from the Rangers is ever going to approach the skill level or stats of Nash. This is why you are forced to "over pay" in compensation of players to acquire an elite player in the prime of his career. These types of players are not always readily available."
83% of readers voted and said that the Rangers should not pay the price that Scott Howson wants for Rick Nash.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - It appears Sabres goalie Jhonas Enroth will be tonight's starter against the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at First niagara Center.
Enroth was the first goalie off the ice, which usually indicates who the starter would be.
However, Sabres' Head Coach Ron Rolston said after practice "We'll see tonight" as to who starts in goal.
Rolston had said this morning on WGR radio that Ryan Miller would be evaluated at the morning skate and could be the starting goalie as the Sabres try to snap a three-game, season-opening, losing streak.
Goalie Matt Hackett was called up from Rochester to back up Jhonas Enroth Saturday night against the Penguins. Miller sustained a groin injury in Friday's home opener against Ottawa.
Hackett is back in Rochester this morning. Miller worked out on his own Monday and things apparently went well enough that Rolston was comfortable with sending Hackett back to the Amerks.

This pattern doesn't call for a lining, but I wanted to line it since the skirt's wool. A commenter helpfully said that she lines gathered skirts by making folds (pleats) in a self-drafted lining. I dropped the lining in, matching up the side seams, and made folds until the lining was the same size as the skirt.
The waistband is then stitched over top of both layers. I was intimidated by the thought of how this would work, but it ended up being SUPER easy. (Thanks, Slapdash Sewist!)
I wore this to the office with this JCrew cropped jacket and pointy heels. (The shoes are the Nuncio from Nine West. It's the perfect dress shoe! The heel is high enough to give that sexy lift, but short enough to be comfortable and walkable. I have 2 pair, and ordered a black pair on sale from DSW yesterday! I'm all about buying in pairs [or triples] when I find something I love.)

Cast Your Vote: Picturing Science Video Nominated for Webby Award
by AMNH on
The Museum's video featuring the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies has been nominated for the 2012 Webby Awards, the coveted honors for Internet excellence, in the Technology category. Online voting for the Webby People's Voice Award is open now through April 26.
Picturing Science, currently on view in the Akeley Gallery, tells the story of Museum research through spectacular large-format images. Photographs range from multicolored meteorite montages to CT scans of shark skulls, showcasing the importance of visual tools in each of the Museum's research departments as well as the fusion of science and art.
The French Paradox with Mireille Guiliano
by AMNH on
The celebrated richness of France's cuisine makes the equally exalted slimness of its population that much more of a mystery. At the Adventures in the Global Kitchen program on Wednesday, April 25, Mireille Guiliano, author of the bestseller French Women Don't Get Fat, addresses the so-called French paradox and offers a selection of frittatas, tartines, and mousse for tasting—in the French style, of course. Guiliano recently answered a few questions.
The French eat some of the richest foods in the world but maintain slim physiques. What's the secret?
Mireille Guiliano: A different approach to food and eating. The key is to find pleasure in eating while maintaining one's weight. French women don't get fat because they eat with their heads and have learned to eat with pleasure while managing their relationship with food and gratifying their appetite. It's all about balance and knowing thyself.
Imaging Japan's Earthquake: Q&A with Miaki Ishii
by AMNH on
Miaki Ishii is an associate professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University who uses North American seismometers to understand how the magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan in March 2011 started and spread. On Tuesday, April 24, Dr. Ishii will visit the Museum to discuss what scientists know about this earthquake and what they have left to learn. She recently answered a few questions.
What geological forces caused the 2011 earthquake in Japan?
Miaki Ishii: At the site of this earthquake, the Pacific plate is colliding with the North American plate—that part of Japan, believe it or not, is considered part of the North American plate. When two things bump into one another, you have stress buildup, and to relieve it, there are earthquakes. In this case, a lot of stress had accumulated for over 1,000 years, and it was released all at once in a huge quake. Many faults failing at once also made this a large event.
Mobile Ammonites Stayed Put at Plains Methane Seeps
by AMNH on
Research led by Museum scientists shows that ammonites, an extinct type of shelled mollusk that's closely related to modern-day nautiluses and squids, made homes in the unique environments surrounding methane seeps in the seaway that once covered America's Great Plains. The findings, recently published in the journal Geology, provide new insights into the mode of life and habitat of these ancient animals.
In the Black Hills region of South Dakota, researchers are investigating a 74-million-year-old mound of fossilized material where methane-rich fluids once migrated through the sediments onto the sea floor. When the face of this cliff recently slumped off, a wide variety of bivalves, sponges, corals, fish, crinoids, and, as recently documented, ammonites, were revealed.
Celebrate Earth Day From Outer Space
by AMNH on
Join the Museum's annual celebration of Earth Day with Spaceship Earth on Thursday, April 19. This Hayden Planetarium program takes viewers across the planet's verdant hills and blue oceans and into space to view Earth as only astronauts have seen it. Director of Astrovisualization Carter Emmart will guide the tour using the Museum's Digital Universe Atlas, an authentic 3D map of the cosmos that uses satellite data as recent as three hours old to digitally reconstruct the universe. Emmart recently answered a few questions about the experience.
Why is it important to take a look at Earth's place in the universe?
Carter Emmart: Earth Day was a direct result of the first images acquired by astronauts viewing our home from the humbling distance of the Moon. One planet, ours, in space, alive with life and color, covered mostly by water and a dynamic atmosphere with constantly shifting clouds, and all this seen from our national goal of reaching the Moon, our nearest neighbor, lifeless, without color or water, and without atmosphere. Regardless of how fascinating the rest of the planets, moons, and asteroids are, ours is paradise. We are part of this world, and our survival goes hand in hand with it. We respond to its beauty as we respond to any beautiful landscape filled with color, form, and the dynamics of nature. Our Earth Day celebration is a moment to sit back and revere our planet and our existence.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Sabres have signed defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, a first-round pick in this year's draft, to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The deal with Ristolainen, the No. 8 pick, was announced Friday night shortly after Ristolainen and his teammates completed a scrimmage at the First Niagara Center.
Ristolainen was the first of two defensemen selected by the Sabres in the first round. Russian prospect Nikita Zadorov was taken with the No. 16 choice.
Ristolainen, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound Finnish prospect, has been participating at Buffalo's development camp and is expected to compete for a roster spot with the Sabres next season.
He had three goals, 12 assists, and 32 penalty minutes in 52 games with Finland's TPS this past season.
After the scrimmage head coach Ron Rolston said "We're actually to the point now where guys are looking around and seeing
signings and young players and they're saying you know I've got to compete now and I think that's what you're going to see at camp."
Wiliamsville native Justin Bailey, one of three Sabres second round draft choices said doing well in the scrimmage helped his confidence."As the game went on I started to get more and more confidence. And I was able to really get my feet wet in the beginning and get my game rolling."

It was about halfway through my first semester of photography school that I started knitting like crazy. There came a point when I felt like I couldn't take a picture to save my life, and I found solace in the knowledge that I am, in fact, a very good knitter. I kept at it with the camera, but also churned out knitted FOs like a boss. It saved me.
Shown above is the family of slippers that were made to replace outgrown and holey pairs. The moccasins are from the book Felted Knits by Bev Galeskas and the others are adult and kid sizes of the famous Felt Clog pattern, also by Bev Galeskas.
A Noro Striped Scarf, knit with four different and unknown shades of Noro Silk Garden. This is at least the third one of these I've knit. I find it endlessly fun, totally mindless, and highly wearable. Won't be the last one I make.
This is the Charoite Hat and Mittens from my Crystal Collection eBook. It's knit with worsted weight yarn, and works up quickly. Instant knitting gratification; I needed that this semester.
Oh! Talk about instant gratification! When Kate released the Snawheid pattern I downloaded it and packed needles and yarn in my backpack within about 5 minutes. It was one of those patterns that I knew I needed to knit the second I saw it. I made two with Nature Spun Sport and they are both still pompomless for now.
Phew! That was a lot of sanity-saving knitting.

I started taking Norethindrone 0.35 three weeks ago. My periods have always been irregular with a averaged cycle days of 38. I started the pill on a random day since I wasn't 100% sure when my next period would be. I started my period exactly 28 days after my last period which I thought was fantastic, thinking it would regulate me. Plus the period was lighter and only 3 days. or so I thought. a few days after I thought I had stopped my period I started bleeding again. Not enough to soak pads, but enough I had to wear a regular pad not a panty liner for about 5 more days. I finally stopped bleeding for about 4 days and now I am bleeding again. I have no idea what is my period and what is just my body getting used to being on the pill. I have to take this pill instead of the combo pill due to high blood pressure.
I have been taking this pill for two weeks now and have felt horrible every single day. Awful nausea, bloat, over active bladder, and stomach cramping. I felt worse after eating something rich like cheese. Going to the doctor today to switch. I have tried many pills over the years and have never had this problem with feeling so ill from taking birth control. Although it has been about nine months since I was on something. I did not experience any moodiness, but the other symptoms are not worth it.
I was prescribed Jolivette due to a large fibroid that was causing extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. Pills with estrogen give me migraines, so the doctor gave me this one. The first period after starting it was still very heavy and lasted eight days. The next one started 13 days later and lasted two and a half weeks including spotting, but was nowhere near as heavy. It's now been three weeks since that one ended and I've had no spotting at all. The doctor said by the middle of the third pack of pills, it should be clear whether it would make things better or worse. I think it is better because the first month or so I was very irritable, had sore breasts, and my face broke out. No more. I'll be very happy with it if my period doesn't return and the side effects continue to stay away.
49 yrs old. Had heavy abnormal bleeding for first time in my life. Usually had periods like clockwork. This time i had skipped a month then in Sept had period for over 20 days. Last 8 were extremely heavy. (bathroom every 1.5 hrs for 8 days, heavy) Went to doctor and prescribed this to stop the bleeding. It worked within 2 days. Skipped a day and it came back. Been on it for 10 days now, 5mg 1x day. I feel nauseous, wired, and anxious. It interacts with my Lamictal. Had ultrasound, see my gyno next week. May decide to have partial hysterectomy if it doesn't stay stopped as i don't want to deal with this or take this pill the rest of my life.
I had abnormal uterine bleeding and was passing many large clots for 2 weeks. I am only 43, so doctor thought it could be signs of upcoming menopause. Took this for 2 months...no bleeding but I am miserable!!! I have gained 16 pounds and feel bloated all of the time. Would recommend for short term use, but not as long as I have been on it. Will be going back to the doctor this week to find an alternative or find out what the heck is actually causing my bleeding!
In menopause for over 10 years, no periods. 2 month use caused resumption of monthly menstual periods.
My ob gyn prescribed this drug for post menopausal bleeding when regular progesterone was not effective. I chose a generic brand due to its high cost and took it once/day... do not remember the strength. After 2 months use I had gained 15 pounds and ended up in the hospital with a painful DVT (blood clot) behind my right knee. I then had to endure a week of Lovinox shots and am still after 3 months on Coumidan to thin the blood. I immediately ceased using the drug after the DVT diagnosis and did begin bleeding again, but only for 3 days. The bleeding has not reoccured, however I have been advised to never use any further hormone treatment.
I have taken 5 mg daily for the last two years and have not had a period! No more painful periods, migraines, mood swings, or bloating!
I had very heavy menstrual bleeding with clots, even had periods of hemoraging for over three weeks which led my cbc levels to drop to 6.7. After the third dose of this medicine (generic norethindrone) I stopped bleeding. I had to have a procedure to build up my blood. But Thank goodness this medicine stopped the bleeding for me. It can have some side effects I encountered a little nausea unless I took it with food. And some anxiety.
Been on for 3 months now. The non-stop bleeding finally stopped, which was the goal. But I am having skin breakouts, that I've never had before, even in adolescence. Vivid bad dreams are almost nightly, though I'm starting melatonin which seems to be helping. If I miss even one pill, I have bleeding, and have spotting sometimes anyway. I also seem to be more angry, tense; don't know if this is part of a side effect or just a stressful time in my life. Haven't gained weight but not able to lose any either. Is anyone else experiencing any of this on norethindrone?

For starters, there are still outbreaks of these highly contagious diseases – and some can lead to serious, even life-threatening complications. Cases of measles, mumps, pneumococcal disease, and whooping cough (pertussis) continue to appear in the United States with alarming frequency. (We saw a measles epidemic in 2008, and there are continued outbreaks of measles today. And at press time in 2010, a mumps epidemic included 15 states.)
Babies and young children are particularly susceptible to these diseases, which is why we start vaccinating at birth. For example, before the Hib vaccine became available, Hib disease was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in babies and children.
Hib meningitis once killed 600 children a year in the United States and left many of those who survived deaf, with mental disabilities, or susceptible to seizures. Since the introduction of the Hib vaccine in 1987, the incidence of Hib has declined by 98 percent.
Second, even though many of the other diseases we vaccinate for are rare, if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will be infected and will gradually spread these diseases to others. Soon we'll undo the progress we've made over the years.
We know this is true because it happened: When measles vaccination rates in the United States dropped in the late 1980s, more than 100,000 people came down with the disease and 120 died from it. In 1998, when immunization rates were back up, only 89 people became sick from measles and no one died.
Other diseases such as polio and diphtheria, though almost unheard of in this country, are still only a plane ride away. Even if you and your family never leave the country, many people do, and they can unwittingly carry these diseases back with them. So if you choose not to vaccinate, you'll have to be sure not only that your child isn't going to travel, but also that he's not going to be exposed to others who have traveled.
Even rare diseases can reappear. If not enough people were vaccinated against diphtheria, for example, we might end up with a situation similar to what happened in the former Soviet Union. With the breakdown of the public health services there, fewer people were vaccinated and diphtheria epidemics began to occur. Between 1990 and 1999, there were more than 150,000 cases and 5,000 deaths from this once rare disease.

RENSSELAER FALLS The Fire and Rescue Squad will review its policy that allows residents open access to and parking on its land along the Oswegatchie River.
In the village, the river is accessible to the public only on the northwest side of the County Route 14 bridge, while the rest of the river frontage is either steep embankment or privately owned.
Owned by the Rensselaer Falls Fire and Rescue Squad, the river access area is used primarily by the squad and other departments to collect water for their pumper trucks.
First Assistant Chief Dallas R. Denny said Tuesday that the land was first fenced in to ensure trucks would be clear to enter the area free from obstacles or dangerous debris. He said the land has been gated for more than a decade.
We dont want cars going through there, he said. Its not a large space. There is barely any room for two vehicles. We dont mind people parking their vehicles and hanging out there for a little bit.
The locked gate is opened only for scheduled organizational use. According to Fire Chief Jeff S. Hammond, the land is open to residents and used predominantly as a swimming hole in the summer.
We are not denying any access by foot to the river. They are just not allowed to bring their vehicles down there, Mr. Hammond said. We might have to have emergency vehicles get through there. The gate was not meant to keep the public out; it was to keep vehicles out.
There is a sign inside the property that notifies residents they may visit the area from dawn until dusk.
We dont mind people going there, he said, but were probably not going to be taking down the fence. We dont want cars there overnight or beer bottles lying around. If anyone gets hurt, it is also a liability to the department.
The gate was put up by the St. Lawrence County Highway Department as part of an agreement with the fire department after the fence was removed during the rebuilding of the County Route 14 bridge last year.
Mr. Denny acknowledged residents may not be satisfied with not having full access to the property. He said the department will review the policy at the next board meeting.
We can look into having it open enough during the day, he said.
