Center for Digital Humanities
The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML), a sponsored program of Saint John's University (Collegeville, Minnesota), has received an Advancing Digital Resources grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for a two-year project to create vHMML, an online environment for manuscript studies. Manuscripts are handwritten texts-generally codices (books), but also documentary material such as charters, letters, and legal records-that provide the primary and often sole access to the historic cultures that have shaped the modern world. HMML's photographic archive of more than 125,000 complete manuscripts, with 40,000,000+ pages, is by far the world's largest collection of photographic material for the study of manuscripts. vHMML's coverage of manuscript cultures will be inclusive of both western and non-western manuscripts, reflecting more accurately the complex historical realities that shaped the modern world and that are becoming more normative in current scholarship with its emphasis on comparative studies.
vHMML will support a range of users, from undergraduates just starting to learn paleography and codicology, to established scholars working on complex comparisons of manuscripts as they prepare critical editions of important texts.
vHMML will consist of six closely-linked, interoperable, and mutually-reinforcing online components:
1. School: instructional material in various formats for teaching the paleography and codicology for languages/cultures represented in HMML's collections (Latin, Syriac, Ge'ez, Christian Arabic, Armenian);
2. Scriptorium: a sophisticated collaborative workspace able to support a variety of manuscript-related projects using manuscript images from HMML's collection and imported from other sources, and providing tools for studying their form and content;
3. Lexicon: a crowd-sourced glossary for manuscript studies inclusive of western and non-western manuscripts;
4. Folio Collection: thickly-described sample manuscript folios from HMML's collections, supplemented by images supplied by other institutions or individuals, which will illustrate the chronological and regional development of writing styles;
5. Library: other HMML digital resources supportive of manuscript study such as classic works on paleography, manuscript catalogs, and videos;
6. Blog: a central point for communication and feedback gathering about vHMML.
vHMML will be a model for libraries with extensive digital collections, whether self-generated, obtained through license agreements, or both. vHMML will demonstrate how to make an array of digital materials organized and findable, and how to create a lively intellectual community around those resources, within an integrated digital framework in which each component connects to the others. The cross-cultural approach fundamental to vHMML suggests how special collections materials need not be segregated into linguistic or cultural groupings, but can be used and interpreted in a richer environment supportive of comparative analysis. vHMML will demonstrate how other special collections libraries can attract new users by developing a framework for scholarly activity that does not depend upon on-site use of collections and, with its ability to import digital images from other repositories or from individual users, it will model how institutions with similar types of material can make their holdings available for scholarship without having to build their own complex digital infrastructure.
Project architecture and software will be developed in collaboration with a team drawn from the Center for Digital Humanities at Saint Louis University and the Carolingian Canon Law project at the University of Kentucky. IMLS funds will support the development of software and some content creation. Click To Learn More

The Squier Bronco Bass is great for guitarists who occasionally need a bass, for younger beginners, for...
Classic vibe with modern refinements.
Initially acquired by Fender as a string maker, Squier has grown into so much more. Used to battle the knock-off guitar competition in the late 70s and early 80s, Squier has become the affordable option for musicians looking for a higher-end instrument. No matter the style of bass you are after, if Fender makes it, Squier does too. The first thing you'll notice when you pick up a Squier bass is that familiar Fender look and feel. Made to rock as hard as their Fender counter-parts, Squier basses have the same trademarks, standards and designs... essentially, they are a Fender. Capturing everything that's great about that beloved brand, Squier will blow you away with the quality of their instruments.
If you're just starting to play the bass, there are a variety of options here to help you launch your musical career. Basses like the Affinity Series J Bass and the Affinity Series Bronco Bass Guitar are easy to play, are durably crafted and offer a full, rich sound, perfect for beginners and younger musicians. For more intermediate to advanced players, the selection for you to choose from opens up even more. From fretless basses like the Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass, to the telecasters like the Vintage Modified Telecaster Bass, these instruments will bring a timeless edge to every performance.
There are even basses in this section inspired by famous rockers themselves. Options like the Mikey Way Signature Mustang Electric Bass Guitar and the Pete Wentz Signature P Bass, have been created with direct input from the artists in order to emulate the tone of their own instrument. If you want to sound like a specific bassist, there's no better way than by using the same bass guitar they use.
When you want to stop dreaming and start playing, there is nothing quite like a Squier bass (except for a Fender bass, of course). Whether you're a hobbyist or a stage performer, Squier has a bass to suit your exact needs as a musician.

2 Yakima teens shot in broad daylight: 'We're not safe anymore'
YAKIMA, Wash. -- There are very few answers tonight after a shooting this morning here in Yakima. Two teenagers were critically injured when gunfire rang out on Fourth and Maple Streets. Police only say they're looking for a person of interest, but no one is in custody.
"It's scary," said one neighbor.
"Devastated," said Sherri Switzer, who had a bullet hit her car.
"It's crazy," said witness, John Leingang.
They're different words, spoken with the same emotion.
"My hearts just boom boom boom, real fast cause that's how close the bullets were," said John.
He had to duck for cover behind his truck. Watching as several bullets flew past him.
"I looked down and there's two people down," said John. "One shot in the face, the other in the back."
Those two victims were teenagers.The 15-year-old shot in the head is not expected to make it. The 17-year-old boy was flown to Harborview in Seattle with serious injuries.
"I'm still shaking," said Sherri. "It was way too close."
Sherri wasn't hit, but her car is now evidence.
"What if we would have been out in the car," asked Sherri. "Our children walking around? During the daytime. It's ridiculous."
Police say people like Sherri and John are an important part of the investigation. So are the clothes and bullets collected at the scene.
Yakima police tell us they think this midday shooting is gang related. However, it's still too soon to be sure.
Meanwhile, neighbors say it's still too soon to feel safe in their own home.
The shooting also put Adams Elementary and Washington Middle schools on high alert. Both were on lockdown for a few hours this afternoon.
Police still don't know if more than one shooter was involved. We'll likely know more once police can question the person of interest.

News: Sit Down and Write Two Letters
We already know that Mike Tannenbaum took credit as the architect for the deal to bring in Tim Tebow, but with the Jets interviewing for the GM job, Now that the Jets have picked their GM, a few ore details are starting to emerge as to how the Jets got into the predicament that they did last year, per ESPN New York.
Former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist, who interviewed for the job nine days ago, said Johnson told him it wasn't his idea. According to Sundquist, Johnson said the trade was "forced" on them — meaning him and team president Neil Glat, who also participated in the interview. That makes it sound like Johnson was blaming former GM Mike Tannenbaum for the Tebow debacle; in a sense, Johnson did exactly that, firing Tannenbaum. Johnson also said, according to Sundquist, that he eventually "jumped on board" with the idea, deferring to his football people.
"They realized it was divisive and hard on the locker room, and they wanted an exit strategy," Sundquist told ESPNNewYork.com, sharing the vibe he received from Johnson and Glat. The Jets are expected to part ways with Tebow next month.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comHearing this story, reminds me of this scene in one of Steven Soderbergh's best movies, Traffic. Michael Douglas is taking over as the new drug czar of the United States and sits down with his predecessor (James Brolin) for some advice before taking on his new post.
(Watch the scene here.)
Now, I'm not shedding any tears for Tannenbaum, trust me, but it's easy to blame Mike Tannenbaum because he's no longer part of the team. Was he the self-admitted architect of the mess that the 2012 Jets became? Yes absolutely and we saw how out on a limb he was once Rex Ryan was obstinately refusing to play Tebow. If Woody and Ryan might have had misgivings, by going along for the ride and not putting their foot down and building a true consensus, they helped ruin the 2012 season too. Ryan and Johnson plainly had sided against their GM and the more the season went on, the more clear it was that Tannenbaum was the odd man out of that trio.
Exit strategy is a nice way to put it by Sundquist. Essentially Glat and Johnson wanted to know whether or not the can trade him and actually get anything for him. The answer is most likely not. The exit strategy with Tim Tebow is to cut him. No one is going to be willing to trade for him, but someone might give him a flyer.
At such a low cap figure, Tim Tebow is a non-factor. I'd be more concerned about the "exit strategy" for Mark Sanchez or Santonio or any of the other guys who are clogging up the cap on this team for 2013.

CANTON Officials gathered Tuesday to christen the arrival of St. Lawrence Countys first electric car charging station at St. Lawrence University.
It looks a bit like an average gas pump, but electricity is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. It also takes a lot longer to fill up a car, about six hours.
Although it was opened officially Tuesday, St. Lawrence Universitys charging station was installed about a week ago, quickly followed by another at Clarkson University, Potsdam. A third may come soon to SUNY Canton.
The stations are part of a $1 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, in partnership with National Grid and ChargePoint Inc., Campbell, Calif., to install 80 charging stations statewide.
Its a tremendous partnership. New York state is really focused on just that, clean, green types of projects, said Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa.
The stations at St. Lawrence University and Clarkson will be free and open to the public to park their cars and charge up. Those who wish to use the system will have to register for an account with ChargePoint, the company that controls 70 percent of the nations electric vehicle charging stations.
The hope is that if charging stations are available, more customers will decide to invest in electric cars. The more infrastructure that comes into a community, the more cars get sold, said Colleen C. Quinn, vice president of government relations at ChargePoint.
She described the impact of making stations accessible at work a halo effect.
You put a station like this in a workplace and you will see employees buy cars, she said.
Thats exactly what St. Lawrence University is hoping for.
We hope this charging station and the broader network will encourage the faculty who were considering buying an electric car to do so, said Louise E. Gava, the universitys sustainability coordinator.
About 12 percent of the colleges estimated carbon emissions come from students and faculty commuting, she said.
Electric cars still have some limitations compared with their gas-guzzling counterparts. Besides the long charge time, most commercially available electric vehicles can travel less than 100 miles per charge, which can be especially problematic in large, spread-out areas such as St. Lawrence County.
Home charging stations are the most popular way for electric car owners to fuel up, with public stations used primarily for those in need of a quick recharge to finish their trip.
However, with prices dropping, cars becoming more efficient and more infrastructure being created, officials Tuesday described electric cars as a valid alternative to traditional ways of getting around.
Plug-in electric vehicles have really arrived, National Grid spokesman Richard L. Burns said.

|Route Climbed: SouthWest Ridge, Mummy Mania Date Climbed: September 12, 2004
|3rd summit of the day in the Mummy Mania or mummy insania as I like to call it. It was nice getting to the 1/2 way point on the peaks of the day. Great views of the whole range. We didn't have the greatest weather as it was quite windy so we had to hunker down on the north side and try and eat some well deserved food and rest. Great hike. I had tried to climb Ypsilon 3 years ago and we had to turn back due to weather. Was happy to finally summit this time.

|Route Climbed: Donner Ridge Date Climbed: July 31, 2004
|I climbed with Nelson. We decided to second-guess Roach on the return leg and tried to downclimb Donner Ridge all the way to Spectacle Lakes. Big mistake! It didn't go and we wasted about two hours trying to find our way off the ridge.
|Posted Aug 1, 2004 4:06 pm
|Route Climbed: Donner Ridge Date Climbed: July 31, 2004
|Climbed with SP'er Andy, in what turned out to be a long day.
Gerry Roach, we take back all the bad things we said about you. You were right: one should not attain the ridge too early during the ascent. Conversely, one should not stay on the ridge too long during the descent. We discovered that as we attempted to follow the ridge all the way down to Spectacle Lakes. It didn't go. We were cliffed out some 500 feet above the lakes, looking at a scary traverse with a possible 90 foot fall in order get to where we needed to be.
Reclimbed part of the ridge then tried descending a different west facing gully. It first appeared that we were cliffed out here also, but then Andy found a steep, narrow shute that had a chance. An old belay anchor at the top did not look like a good sign, but we managed to downclimb it, thus avoiding a 1,500' re-ascent late in the day.
We were tired but satisfied when we returned to the car after 13 hours on the trail, 12-14 miles and 5000' elevation gain.
During the course of the day we saw about a dozen other people and 35 bighorn sheep.
|Posted Aug 1, 2004 1:35 pm
|Route Climbed: from chiquita Date Climbed: July 2003
|Climbed Mount Ypsilon to acclimate for Longs Peak. Saw some bighorn sheep on the way down close the "The Whale". Met a great gentleman from New York that was practicing for a Europe glacier trip. It was great to hear about his experience in South America and around the world.

|Route Climbed: Blitzen Ridge Date Climbed: July 28 2003
|Fun scramble with an occassional rock pitch...we stayed as high on the aces as possible and perhaps encountered a 5.7 pitch, then descended the Donner Ridge (a worthwhile climb as well) for those who want a more relaxing way, you could station a car at the base of Mt. Chapin on the old Fall River Road.
|Posted Sep 30, 2003 1:18 pm
|Route Climbed: From Chapin Pass Date Climbed: Every Summer in July
|I love this mountain...I have climbed it many times, and will climb it many more, Im sure. It's just a beautiful trail, and you can be back in Estes in plenty of time for lunch. A nice short day, in a very beautiful place!
|Posted Aug 22, 2003 7:40 pm
|Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge, Mummy Mania Date Climbed: July 7, 2003 and Sept. 4, 2003
|Great views of the Mummy Range with no one in sight.
I completed Gerry Roach's Mummy Mania traverse which takes in Chapin, Chaquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Hagues and Mummy over 16 miles and 5700 vertical feet. Highly recommended for those seeking abuse and solitude.

NORFOLK Shots rang out from Norwood-Norfolk Elementary School on Wednesday morning.
First, a couple of single shots.
Were coming in through the elementary cafeteria, crackled over police radios as law enforcement officers carefully entered the building and alerted those already inside that they were on the scene.
As they rounded the corner, they came across a school secretary, who told them intruders had entered the building and pointed out the direction they had headed.
Dont leave me, she said as officers continued their way in the school.
Then came a round of shots.
Shouts of shots fired in the vicinity of the cafeteria were heard through the wing of the building as officers with their weapons at the ready cautiously made their way down the hallway toward the cafeteria and rounded up the intruder.
It was all part of a realistic active-shooter training session coordinated by the state police and involving law enforcement officers from several local, state and federal agencies, including police departments from Norwood, Norfolk, Potsdam and Massena; Riverview, Ogdensburg and Gouverneur correctional facilities; state police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
All of them are officers in the immediate area, said Sgt. Michael Pena, Troop B senior firearms instructor from Ray Brook, who coordinated the two-day series of training sessions that continues today.
Marcy Tyler, a school counselor from Harrisville and wife of one of the officers, also took part, taking on the role of the school secretary, and officers used a robot that rolled down the hallway with an attached camera able to capture every angle of the building.
Sgt. Pena said 17 officers went through the training, which involved several scenarios, on Wednesday, and an additional 16 officers will take part in it today.
The superintendent (Elizabeth A. Kirnie) was gracious enough to allow us to use the school location, he said.
The various scenarios law enforcement officers might encounter in a school were planned in advance.
Its a time-consuming process. Unfortunately we have to train in the school, Sgt. Pena said, noting they had received requests from several schools to conduct similar exercises.
One advantage to conducting the drills in the school, he said, is that it gives officers a familiarity with the building. In Norwood-Norfolks case, they used one-third of the building encompassing the elementary and middle school wings.
The exercise came about in the wake of the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn.

I grew up having to work in the oil field, and you know how having to do something is, especially when you are a teenager.
This "have to", in turn, put me in a place where I watched my parents go from rags to riches and back again. One moment the price of oil would be $100 a barrel and the next $22 a barrel. This did not seem like a great place to be, with all of the ups and downs of the cost of oil. These price fluctuations in turn affect the cost of gas at the pumps. And this is what most U.S. citizens are concerned with. But do you really know what causes these fluctuations?
There are a few reasons; but the oil companies themselves are not one of them.
As when dealing with any GDP (Gross Domestic Product) there is supply and demand. But oil is not a typical commodity. Yes there is supply and demand though. For example the summer months will drive higher demand than the winter months, for obvious reasons. But oil, as I have already stated, is not typical. Oil is traded as future oil on the commodities exchange. Commodities futures, or futures contracts, are an agreement to buy or sell a commodity at a specific date in the future at a specific price.
Sound like guess work? Well it is, because this makes the price fluctuate daily depending on what investors think the price is going to be. It's sort of like fortune telling.
Then we have OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) which is a permanent intergovernmental organization consisting of 12 of the major oil producing countries. These countries are Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. These countries produce 46 percent of the world's oil.
OPEC was formed in 1960 after these countries realized that they had non renewable resources and if they competed with each other it would drive the price of oil so low that their resource would basically not be so desirable.
OPEC's goal is to keep oil prices at around $70 a barrel. A higher price gives other countries the incentive to drill more; something that OPEC tries to prevent. The United States wards off the control OPEC tries to establish by keeping 700 million barrels of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve, making the U.S. less dependent on OPECs oil.
Speaking of that I am sure you have heard of US dependency on foreign oil. It's actually not the major issue that the politicians would like for us to believe it is. Not only do we have the reserve, we also buy oil from Mexico. We have what is called NAFTA, which is an acronym for a trade agreement that keeps the price of oil low, since it reduces tariffs. (That topic leads into another subject, one we will leave for another time). Now you know where the supply is, let's take a look at the demand.
As everyone should be well aware of, the US is the biggest consumer of oil. We presently use 21 percent of the world's oil. This is partly because we have huge amounts of highways which in turn has resulted in America never conceiving the prospects of an infrastructure for a national mass transit system,
Europe is the next largest user of oil at 15 percent and China is not far behind at 11 percent and rising.
The major contributor to the higher oil prices is OPEC of course. Then you have the oil futures or futures contracts. As stated earlier these are agreements to buy or sale oil at a future date at a future price. Traders bid on oil on what they think the price of oil will be, They look at the supply and demand. If they think the demand will increase because of the economy they will drive the price up. In turn this creates high oil prices even if there is plenty of supply on hand, and that creates what is known as an asset bubble. This happened in the summer of 2011 with gold prices. It happened in the stock market in 2007 and housing in 2006. When the housing bubble burst it lead to the financial crises of 2008.
With all of these facts I still have to stick with my teenage thoughts on the oil industry; "to many ups and downs". One thing I do know is that the oil companies do not have control over the oil or gas prices. They are just the suppliers of a product that can control the world economy.

The purpose of this study is to see if emtricitabine is safe in children infected with HIV and to determine the best dose.
HIV Infections
Drug: Lopinavir/Ritonavir
Drug: Emtricitabine
Drug: Stavudine
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|An Open-Label Study of a Once Daily Dose of Emtricitabine in Combination With Other Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-Infected Pediatric Patients

The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib to imatinib in patients with gastro-intestinal stromal tumour (GIST) in first line medical treatment.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Drug: masitinib (AB1010)
Drug: imatinib
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment

|January 2009
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|December 2013
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
masitinib 7.5 mg/kg/day, per os
Drug: masitinib (AB1010)
masitinib (AB1010) 7.5 mg/kg/day, per os
Other Name: AB1010
Active Comparator: 2
imatinib 400 mg or 600 mg per day, per os
Drug: imatinib
imatinib 400 mg or 600 mg per day, per os
Detailed Description:
GISTs are uncommon visceral sarcomas that arise predominantly in the gastro-intestinal tract. Most GIST cells are positive for c-kit (CD117), a cell surface antigen corresponding to the Stem Cell Factor (SCF) receptor. The receptor has an intracellular tyrosine kinase (TK) joined by a juxtamembrane domain. It is hypothesized that all malignant GIST cells harbor a mutation of c-kit, resulting in the activation of c-kit and cell division and tumour growth. Drugs that can selectively inhibit TKs are likely to be of benefit in GISTs. Masitinib (AB1010) is a TK inhibitor, selectively and effectively inhibiting c-kit. Imatinib is also a TK inhibitor indicated in the treatment of GIST. It might be associated with side effects and patients might develop a resistance to treatment over time. Based on pre-clinical and clinical studies, masitinib (AB1010) can be considered as a good candidate in the first line treatment of patients with GIST.

AARON , Benjamin
Benjamin Aaron, a distinguished professor of law at
since 1960, a former director of the UCLA Institute for Industrial Relations for 15 years, and a chair of the UCLA and University of California Academic Senates, passed away on Saturday, August 25, 2007, one week short of his 92nd birthday. Because of his expertise on labor issues, Professor Aaron was called upon by Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy , Johnson and Bush (Sr.) as an advisor and to serve on several national boards and commissions, including the National War Labor Board and the National Wage Stabilization Board.
It provides great solace to his family, friends and colleagues who loved and greatly esteemed him to reflect upon the remarkable richness of his life, his career and his productivity as a scholar and arbitrator, which continues to inspire others. He was passionate about his work - doing what he loved even on the day of his collapse, which eventually led to his death. Shortly before, he had lunched with friends and colleagues and displayed his usual wit and prodigious memory.
Benjamin Aaron inspired not just admiration but awe among those who knew him. Although his life became one of epic proportions, when he was five years old, he lost both his mother and father in a single year. Ben, or "Benj" as he was known to his family, was blessed with a tremendous love of people and life. He became a distinguished scholar, teacher, arbitrator, and a public servant bestriding different professional worlds and making major contributions in each. He was a man of action and of thought, a man capable of courageous decisions and deep reflection. He displayed a notably beautiful elegance -- from his attire (the always self-prescribed beautifully tailored jacket and exquisite tie) to his speech and most strikingly to the thoughtful grace and courtesy with which he approached all with whom he came into contact no matter their station in life. He was the very model of "a gentleman." He was also for those at his university, for those in government and industry, for his family and friends, a repository of wisdom and someone who in all his dealings revealed exemplary decency, integrity, and modesty. Only some cruelty or some meanness of spirit or folly that led to serious harm or confrontatio n with pretentiousness or hypocrisy or, indeed, some shameless disregard of grammar, would arouse his ire. His passions were many: his family, especially his wife and his children and grandchildren, his work -- at his desk each morning almost invariably before any of his colleagues. He loved music, and literature, travel, nature--the Sierras especially -- food and wine (and for a substantial period of time fine cigars), and serious and playful conversation that revealed his sparkling wit and was seasoned throughout with apt quotations.
He loved the institution, UCLA, with which he had been connected for some 60 years and to which, in so many ways, he made enormous contributions. He made a point of engaging each of his new colleagues, welcoming them, offering support and, should they care to have it, response to their work. He invariably attended a regular Law School Monday colloquium and lunch. Conscientiousn ess in all that he did was engrained upon his soul.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Eleanor Opsahl Aaron, his children, Judith Aaron Turner and Louise Aaron Ozawa, his sons-in-law, Andrew Turner and Glenn Ozawa, his grandchildren, Jason Warshawer, John Meyer, Maya Aaron-Blue, Miranda Meyer and Noah Aaron-Blue, his great grandchildren, Abigail Marcum, Dillon Welcher, William Aaron-Blue and Gianni Kilkenny, his brother, Daniel Aaron and scores of nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends and colleagues.
Those who admired and loved Benjamin Aaron during his life now have reposed within, serving both as a solace and inspiration, something to be cherished, the image of this remarkably dear and accomplished human being who achieved so much and whose memory serves as a reminder of how life can be lived to the fullest with both grace and with regard for each human being. His very last words were, "help me up!"
Instead of flowers, those who wish to honor Ben might consider contributions to The UCLA Foundation for support of the Benjamin Aaron Prize for the best of student publications.
At Ben's request, there will be no funeral. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date.

| True brew: Ristretto earns points for good service and good taste.
IMAGE: benjaminreedphotography.com
We Portlanders are coffee people. In our admiration and appreciation of coffee, we rank with the world's most serious drinkers: the Swedes, the Japanese, the Frisco kids. But for all our genuine adoration of coffee and cafes, we can't match bona fide coffee towns in sheer variety of high-quality coffees on offer.
But with the opening of Ristretto Roasters' second location, in "The Hub" foodie complex on North Williams Avenue, things just got a little more interesting. Owner Din Johnson has been roasting coffee commercially out of the original cafe on Northeast 42nd Avenue for three years. He has more or less paved the way for other small specialty roasters like Cherry, Courier, Cellar Door and Spella. And for that, we owe him.
Ristretto the Younger, however, takes coffee a little more seriously than its parent operation and is raising the bar. For one, the cafe is planning to offer regular, free coffee tastings ("cuppings," in the parlance of the trade) to the public. They've even imported granite cupping tables from Brazil to prove they're serious. (What's a "cupping table," you ask? A very expensive lazy Susan.)
They also take atmosphere seriously. With the help of Holst Architecture, the Ristretto team (including Johnson's wife, Nancy Rommelmann, who has written for WW in the past) has built a beautiful space in which to appreciate coffee. The building's soaring ceilings create dimensionality and, blissfully, dissipate some of the noise that comes stock-in-trade with a coffee operation. The cafe itself is lifted, too—drinkers enter and climb a half-staircase to the raised floor. The effect is theatrical: the midmorning pick-me-up made manifest. The room's focal point, a veering, striated half-wall, separates the cupping room, which has space enough for an afternoon mommy klatsch. And the cafe offers different arrangements for different needs: built-in benches for laptop users; leather couches in a faux, but not fake, living-room space; and a massive, covered seating area out front.
Solid food in this liquid den is appropriately limited to assorted pastries and sweets. The only thing prepared on the spot is thick toast with butter and jam, but the toast was on the dry side and the jam didn't sing ($1.75). Other pastries and breads come from old hands like Grand Central and Tonali and are predictably good. The gem of the lot is a new chocolate espresso bread ($2.25) by baker Amy Nuesch. It's a study in contracts: airy but thick with flavor, coal black against a snowy cappuccino (it must be drunk with milk).
When it comes to the coffee itself, Ristretto hasn't quite overcome past limitations. It is still far superior to most retail coffee (think Starbucks, Tully's), but lacks the precision and polish to rival the best-roasted coffees in town (Stumptown gets points for purchasing power—they consistently buy some of the highest-quality beans in the world). A double espresso ($2.10) on one recent visit had a decent balance of sweetness and acidity but a grim metallic finish. On another visit, the espresso was woody and too bitter. An immensely pleasurable Panamanian coffee ($1.75), on the other hand, was simplicity itself: full, crisp, balanced. Despite the coffee's sometimes flawed expressions, it is joyfully prepared, and the baristas aren't smarmy, snotty or stuck up. That in itself is refreshing. And with the new cafe's detailed attention to the taste and experience of coffee, there is hope for sustained improvement.
In the meantime, there is real value in what Ristretto is offering: fresh, locally roasted coffee that can, and should, compete for our attention.
DRINK: Ristretto Roasters, 3808 N Williams Ave., #125, 288-8667. 6:30 am-7 pm daily. Original location at 3520 NE 42nd Ave., 284-6767. 6 am-6 pm Monday-Saturday, Sunday 6:30 am-6 pm. $ Inexpensive.

In their only meeting this season, Helper will have local bragging rights in American Legion baseball after defeating Price 12-2 on Monday afternoon at the College of Eastern Utah baseball field.
Despite missing a number of key players for the game, Helper scored early and often putting seven runs on the board in the bottom of the first inning. Helper head coach Jeff Cisneros said a group of players missed the game because they were participating in a basketball camp down at Dixie State for the week.
Helper added five more runs over the course of the next four innings to push their lead to 12-0.
Price would not go down quietly as they put together a rally in the top of the fifth inning scoring two runs to break up the shutout before the game ended due to the mercy rule.
Helper will next play on July 2 as they travel up to Taylorsville for two games starting at 4 p.m.
Price will host West Jordan for a game on Friday at the USU Eastern field at 6 p.m.

The self-styled "obsessively innovative" company CamelBak has done an impressive job of incorporating Tags into both their product packaging and print advertisements.
Readers who are interested in learning more about the product or the company can quickly scan the CamelBak Tags with a smart phone and bone up on the different varieties of water bottles, packs, and accessories that this company has to offer.
CamelBak links their Tags to videos that describe the features and technology that makes their products unique and innovative. And Tag is the tool that helps to present that information in an equally unique and innovative way.
CamelBak's customers are people who are constantly on the go: mountain bikers, kayakers, and marathon runners. These folks don't waste any more time than they have to sitting in front of the computer. Tag makes it quick and easy to present this hard-to-pin-down demographic with the information that puts companies like CamelBak ahead of the pack.

The Lost Bird Project at George Eastman House
We are excited to present the regional premiere of the Lost Bird Project at the Dryden Theatre Saturday, July 28, 8 p.m. & Sunday, July 29, 2 p.m. A panel discussion will follow the film, followed by a walk through the gardens to view the exhibit, all five bird sculptures. Use the map and explore all five lost bird sculptures on the property and in the gardens. Advance tickets available now.
A Few Minutes with Sculptor, Todd McGrain
The passenger pigeon, Carolina parakeet, Labrador duck, great auk, and the heath hen — diverse species of North American birds with one thing in common — modern extinction.
Sculptor Todd McGrain has memorialized these birds in a series of large-scale bronze sculptures that will be on view in the Eastman House gardens July 3 through September 30. We recently talked with McGrain about the project and its import.
How did you come to do this project?
Reaching into a bucket of clay and forming the shape of a small preening duck was the beginning moment of this project. While I was working on this first sculpture, I came across Chris Cokinos' book Hope Is the Thing with Feathers. Chris thoughtfully tells the stories, describing the decline of extinct North American birds — and the sculpture took on new meaning. It became a memorial.
How did you select which birds to memorialize?
The birds memorialized in this project were driven to extinction in modern times. I became interested in these particular birds because of the beauty of their form. However, their stories of habitat loss and overhunting, bringing once abundant species to an end, propelled the project and gave it meaning. I found each of these birds and their individual stories thoroughly compelling.
What is the goal for the project?
By keeping the memory of these birds alive, we hope to contribute to the efforts by naturalists, scientists, ornithologists, environmentalists, teachers, and others attempting to raise awareness
about the current loss of plant and animal species. Our deteriorating environment puts fragile species under stress.
How did you decide on scale and use of materials for the sculptures?
The sculptures are as large as humans and that parity encourages a sympathy as people approach them — they are undeniable. The sculptures were created to be displayed in the birds' natural
habitats, which demanded bronze for durability. The tactility of bronze makes people wish to touch them, deepening the viewer's sympathy for, and understanding of, the birds' loss.
This project is the subject of a documentary film. How did the film evolve?
Andy Stern, the producer, and I began researching possibilities for placing the sculptures in locations most closely related to each bird's decline. We soon realized that the people and places
we were finding would be invaluable in telling the story of each bird and approached Middlemarch Films to join forces to produce the documentary. Through the generosity of the entire
Middlemarch crew, we were welcomed into the world of documentary filmmaking. We are particularly grateful to director Deborah Dickson for her talent and persistent vision.
Saturday, July 28, 8 p.m. & Sunday, July 29, 2 p.m. (Deborah Dickson, US 2012, 60 min., Digital Projection)
Following the July 28 screening, join us for a panel discussion with director Deborah Dickson, sculptor Todd McGrain, producer Muffie Meyer, cinematographer Scott Anger, and executive producer Andy
Stern. Following the July 29 screening join sculptor Todd McGrain for a walking tour of the grounds to discuss his work. Advance tickets available now.

On April 23, the Kaiser Family Foundation held a briefing to explore global efforts to help more children live to age 5 – a milestone birthday, after which children are far more likely to survive to adulthood. The event featured remarks by USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah on U.S. efforts to help children reach their fifth birthdays, preceded by a panel discussion that examined where progress is being made, financial challenges and constraints, and opportunities for further engagement by the U.S. and others.
Panelists included Amanda Glassman, Director of Global Health Policy at the Center for Global Development; Michael McCurry, a partner at Public Strategies Washington, Inc.; Ariel Pablos-Méndez, Assistant Administrator for Global Health at USAID; and Caryl Stern, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.

MASSENA - A December 2010 fire destroyed North Country Millworks, LLC, a custom millshop owned by Creig L. and Barbara Donnelly on the South Raquette Road, Massena.
A donation of equipment from a stranger in Virginia helped them get back on their feet.
North County Millworkss main interest is in producing cabinetry and moldings that cant be bought or ordered in a store. Its something theyve done for 17 years, according to Mr. Donnelly, who follows in his fathers footsteps and has more than 30 years of experience in cabinet building.
He builds high-end items. We concentrate on high-end cabinetry, Mrs. Donnelly said.
But on Dec. 29, 2010, their business went up in smoke. The building was a total loss.
We lost everything in the shop, Mr. Donnelly said.
Were still recuperating, Mrs. Donnelly added.
There was a loud boom that night and then the fire struck. Volatile fumes in the painting booth of the shop combusted and caused the blaze. Paint thinner, varnish and other flammable liquids inside of the shop, along with piles of wood used to make the cabinets, made it difficult to extinguish the blaze.
The fire department showed up in no time, Mrs. Donnelly said, but they were unable to save the shop.
The road back wasnt easy. Mrs. Donnelly said they had paid their insurance through an escrow account with their mortgage company, and that company let the insurance policy lapse, unbeknownst to the Donnellys until after the fire.
Their policy ended up cancelled, and they were getting nowhere in trying to recoup their losses, she said.
They kept putting us off and putting us off, she said.
Then they received a letter that the policy had been sold to another mortgage company. And in the meantime, they were unable to touch the pile of rubble that had been their business, she said.
We wanted to dig right in, Mrs. Donnelly said.
They eventually got the situation ironed out and were able to begin thinking about reopening their doors. But all of their equipment was still a loss.
All hope wasnt lost though, thanks to a stranger in Manassas, Va.
The Donnellys were members of the Cabinet Members Association as was the Manassas man, Matt Sbitani. After the fire, the president of the Cabinet Members Association saw a news clipping about the Massena blaze and posted it in the associations annual newsletter thats sent to all of the members.
Thats when the Donnellys heard from Mr. Sbitani, who had an offer for them.
Mrs. Donnelly was making dinner and Mr. Donnelly was on the computer checking his email.
He called me and I said, What, Creig? Thats when he got out of his chair and came down the hallway and said, You have to read this, Mrs. Donnelly recalled.
An email from Mr. Sbitani to Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly expressed regrets about the fire.
The most important thing is that no one was hurt, he wrote.
And then Mr. Sbitani offered his assistance from several states away.
If you have not found a replacement for your equipment and machinery, we would like to offer you our equipment from our previous workshop. All is in good working condition and you are welcome to just come with a large truck to pick it all up. We would like to offer it at no cost to you in hopes that you will find a new beginning, he said.
The items he had available included a 14-inch panel saw with 10-foot sliding table, 10-inch Powermatic table saw, 12-inch Jet jointer, 20-inch Jet planer, Jet tilting spindle shaper, Delta stock feeder, Delta disc/belt sander, 10-foot by 10-foot by 7-foot open spray booth, Murphy Rogers dust collector and Speed Air direct drive air compressor with an 80-gallon tank.
Mrs. Donnelly read the email and there was just dead silence.
Mr. Donnelly said Mr. Sbitani also ran a cabinet shop and had built a new shop, but he still kept the old shop set up. And he was offering his equipment to the Donnellys.
Friends and family made donations and set up a jamboree and raised money for the trip to Manassas to pick up the machines.
One of the tools in his old shop was a sliding table saw. Creig always dreamed of having one. He got his dream tool, Mrs. Donnelly said.
Also helping the Donnelly family recover was local businessman Vance T. Fleury, owner and president of RiverCrest Enterprises, Inc.
Vance has actually helped us get some very nice jobs, Mr. Donnelly said. Before we were open, Vance called and said he had a big project coming up and wondered if we were going to be able to do it.
I worked with Creig over the past three or four years doing cabinetry for different projects, Mr. Fleury said.
One of those projects was a home thats a cover feature in a Canadian magazine called Homes and Cottages. It showcases a home that was done by both Mr. Fleurys crew and North Country Millworks.
Today, the Donnellys are back open for business and offering everything from motorized cabinets and touch systems for drawers to custom moldings and cabinetry to keep items like a flat-screen television hidden until theyre needed.
We arent totally back on our feet, but we wouldnt have been able to get back into operation if it wasnt for the help of friends, family and a stranger in Virginia, Mrs. Donnelly said. We owe him and his wife everything.
