Whether you are an art educator seeking to explore a new medium, a high school student looking to improve your portfolio, or just want to grow as an artist, we provide the opportunities and environment to make it happen
The Office of Community Engagement at the College of Art and Design oversees and coordinates the programs and activities that engage non-degree students. These include courses and programs for high school students, workshops for art educators, studio coop work spaces for artists, exhibitions for local artists, public art projects, and community art and design outreach and special programs.
We offer many options for high school students to explore their interests in art and design, enhance their college admissions portfolios, and earn college credit. Our College Courses for High School Students Program offers studio art and design courses for all levels of high school students in the fall, winter, and summer. Options include courses in our studios in Cambridge, as well as Online Portfolio Preparation Workshops for students who live outside the immediate area or prefer online classes. Scholarships are available for local urban students with significant financial need through the Young Artist Scholarship Program (YAP). The Young Artist Residency (YAR) Program, offered during the summers only, is an intensive 4-week art and design residency program for high school juniors and seniors seeking to build their portfolios, while earning college credit, live with peers in the Lesley dormitory, and gain the art school experience.
We offer continuing education and professional development opportunities for art educators. Our programs include summer Studio Residencies for Teaching Artists, offered both on-campus in Cambridge and off-site in Bar Harbor, Maine, and events for educators hosted throughout the academic year. Graduate credit and Professional Development Points (PDP) are available.
In order to support our College of Art and Design alumni, the college piloted a studio coop program in summer 2015 that allowed graduates to use our new studios in Lunder Arts Center to create. All College of Art and Design graduates were eligible to apply.
Applicants are accepted based on the availability of the specific studio and lab space they apply to use. Each studio and lab has a user capacity that will limit the number of users. Applicants must pass an initial safety and proficiency exam on the use of all equipment at the beginning of the coop program. Accepted program participants will be required to pay a small user fee. Supplies and materials will not be provided and are the responsibility of the participant. There will be limited storage available for participants for their supplies, materials and work. Scheduled classes and events take priority over open studio access, so participants might have to work around scheduled activities. Hours for access will be determined in consultation with the faculty or staff responsible for the studio or lab.
Learn more about our Art and Design Alumni Studio Coop
The Lesley University College of Art and Design is offering Summer Studio Workshops for adults 18 years of age and older. Current students, alumni, staff, and friends from the community are encouraged to participate in our summer studio intensive workshops. All one-day non-credit workshops meet at the Lunder Arts Center and run from 9:00AM - 5:00PM, with a break for lunch.
Community projects include exhibitions for local artists, public art projects, collaborative community activities between the college and other institutions or organizations, art and design outreach into schools, and special programs for students or clients.

Now its shitty hackfests 75 to 72. if you actually can score and run you see resentment by fans from low scoring teams and ****** ass espn announcers. the 80's and the early 90's were great, I hope one day the league shifts back to this style of ball.

guess I will follow suit and post here as well considering the thread here is more appropriate for this post
This is an interesting question and I am a bit on the fence but I think I would learn towards watching a fun team. I literally can not watch most of Eastern Conference basketball. I will not watch the SPurs play unless they are playing the Warriors.
To me Basketball is a very beautiful and graceful game... when played the right way.
In the years right before Magic and Bird came into the league, the league became a heavy slow down, isolation type game... No movement... just clear out and go one on one. The sport was dying.... attendance was down, ratings were down and not a lot of interest in the sport.
In came Magic and Bird who helped show a different way to play the game. They made passing a cherished commodity. The success they had on the court with making their teammates better ushered in a new era of the game. The game evolved and changed. Fans took notice and the game EXPLODED in popularity. The Showtime lakers played truly a beautiful game of basketball. The sport itself was just a thing of art to watch (even if the athletes were not as explosive as they are today).
In the last 5-10 years, the games has devolved in some respects back to that mauling, slow, and isolation type game and for me personally, I have lost a ton of my passion for the game. I LOVE the Warriors and that wont change... but now I wont typically watch a nationally televised regular season game between two random teams. I like watching the Suns play and a few others but that is about it.
I used to watch any game I could. No longer.
I feel fortunate that the team I root for plays an uptempo style game... they are not the old lakers but they do still entertain. It would be really hard for me to be a fan of a team like the Utah Jazz from a few years ago with Malone and Stockton. My god that was the most boring team I have ever seen. They had a lot of success but every freaking time down the court it was a high pick and roll and 3 other players just standing there. That is NOT basketball to me and I refuse to watch it.

Your confused because the Warriors only average 110 and that is not that much when you really look at it. The Lakers, Celtics, Sixers proved you can play an up tempo style of ball and still win. Even the Rockets who didnt win the title but made it twice were using a fast break attack the way the game is suppossed to be played. Its a disrespect to the game to slow the game to a halt combine dwith a hack and whack style of ball is unwatchable. I hate to break the bad news to you but the game is for entertainment.
Every team should be fast breaking in the nba. I blame it on the coaches who have become so over conserative and scared for their jobs. The game is meant to be fun ,sorry if people dont like to enjoy themselves so maybe they should just follow fox news all day.
You can say the Warriors are out of control but the problem is that they have to force their tempo cause 95 percent plays this damn slow boring crappy ball. Overall it is proven you win and score and this is the way the game should be played.

CANTON A Brasher woman was released under probation supervision for six months pending further court action Friday, after pleading guilty to multiple violations of probation in St. Lawrence County Court.
Bobbie Jo French, 31, of 2475 Route 55, Brasher had violated her conditions of probation by not reporting on 26 dates between March and June of this year and also ceased to make restitution payments as of Oct. 22, when she was placed on probation for third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony.
St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards told Ms. French that if she could not abide by her current terms and conditions of probation for the next six months, she would be facing 3 � to 12 years in state prison as a second-felony offender.
The judge said this wasnt the first time he has given Ms. French slack for violations but it would most certainly be the last.
I dont care if you have kids at home. I dont care if you have six babies. You can cry, you can tell me you have a terminal disease its not going to stop me from sending you to jail. I dont know how else to get it through to you, Judge Richards said.
If Ms. French complies with the terms and conditions of probation within the next six months, she will be sentenced to an undetermined time of probation supervision.
Judge Richards adjourned sentencing to Jan. 28.
In other court action last week:
Shane A. Deshane, 29, of 84 Grove St., Gouverneur, was sentenced Monday to 1 to 3 years in state prison Monday, to be served concurrent with time currently being served for an April 8 guilty plea to fourth-degree grand larceny and as a second-felony offender. Mr. Deshane was also ordered to pay $120 restitution and $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
Nadine M. Montroy, 48, of 331 Judson St., Ogdensburg, had her sentence adjourned Monday to Aug. 5.
Ms. Montroy pleaded guilty on Oct. 1 to second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony. Her December 2012 sentencing had to be adjourned as she failed to comply with chemical dependency treatment. Her sentencing was adjourned to July 15. After an April 12 drug test while incarcerated, Ms. Montroy tested positive for THC and cocaine. Probation requested an adjournment so that they can contact the victims in the matter for their input in the pretrial conference for sentencing.
Ms. Montroy was returned to St. Lawrence County jail without bail.
Andrew M. Larche, 26, of 50 Fournier Road, West Chazy, was released Monday on one year interim probation after an April 2 guilty plea to fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony and aggravated driving while intoxicated, a class A misdemeanor.
Additionally, Mr. Larche was ordered to pay $1,594.19 in restitution and $159.41 in court fines, fees and surcharges
Sentencing has been adjourned to June 30, 2014.
Benjamin Armstrong, 26, of 8042 Old Route 17, Salamanca, Cattaraugus County, was sentenced Monday to one year in St. Lawrence County jail after an April 23, 2012, guilty plea to third-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a class E felony.
Mr. Armstrong absconded from the area, Jude Richards said, and he was picked up on a warrant. His sentence to jail is the result of his not complying with the terms and conditions of court orders, losing the benefit of a six-five split, six months in jail and five years on probation.
Mr. Armstrong was also ordered to pay $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges which were subtracted from the $816 forfeited from Mr. Armstrong when he was taken into custody.
David E. Labarge, 30, of 150 Maple St., Massena pleaded not guilty Monday to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony during arraignment.
It is alleged that on June 17 in the town of Gouverneur, Mr. Labarge was in possession of heroin with the intent to sell.
Mr. Labarge was remanded to St. Lawrence County jail without bail.
Edgar T. Blackmer, 45, of 70 Dana Hill Road, Russell, was sentenced to five years of probation Monday after an April 12 guilty plea to third-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a class E felony.
Mr. Blackmer was also ordered to pay $1,375 in fines, fees and surcharges.
Bliss A. Snyder, 35, of 8700 Route 56, Norfolk, was sentenced to one year interim probation after an April 12 guilty plea to first-degree scheme to defraud, a class E felony.
Ms. Snyder is also ordered to pay $4,480.90 in restitution and $448.09 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
Ms. Snyder is scheduled to return to court on June 30 for further sentencing.

Hopefully someone can help with a couple questions because I've spent hours online and still can't find a clear answer. My son is in BCT right now. When he reports for AIT, he'll be at a base that's actually only 15-20 minutes from our house. For Thanksgiving and Christmas, will he be able to stay at the house with us or will he have to remain on base? Also, are family members ever allowed on base to visit? Just wondering. It's one thing to be 1100 miles away during BCT; of course you won't see your family or friends at that distance, and it's not allowed anyway. But to be basically just around the corner during AIT and still not be able to grab a pizza once or twice?...I think that would be more difficult.

Re: AIT and holiday leave
While every location and every company is somewhat different there is a good chance that at least some weekends your son will be given a pass, either on post or off post. During those times you would be able to visit with him, as long as the rules are followed. Even if he has free time during the week, I would not expect to be able to spend time with him then.

That is awesome that his AIT location is close to home. Palinathas is correct in the fact that every location and company varies on their policies for weekend passes. Typically if it is a short AIT, then they are not afforded the opportunity. Also recruits are not typically allowed off base during the week. Your son will have to wait and find out what his abilities are and communicate that to you.
Recruits attending AIT are usually given a day pass for Thanksgiving, but would not be able to spend the night at your home. He would be given a report time for accountability formation back at his company the evening of Thanksgiving.
Recruits attending AIT during Christmas are afforded the opportunity to go home for "Christmas Exodus" which is roughly 2 weeks long (more or less depending on the current policy). This is when he can come home and stay until the holidays are over. Again he will be given a report time and day for accountability formation back at his company to resume training.
I hope that this helps.
Re: AIT and holiday leave
I went to AIT at Fort Eustis, back when I resided in Hampton, VA. I went home pretty much every weekend unless otherwise held back due to things going on at the unit. He may not immediately be let off post, but in the first couple weeks he should be able to earn the privledge. Until he is allowed off post, if you want to visit him you probably can do so as long as his cadre are fine with it(they generally are). From personal experience, make sure he is NEVER caught driving a POV. I did that, and it caused me some hell. But if he's smart(like I eventually became) you can drive virtually unnoticed as long as he stays away from his battle buddies during the weekend.
As far as holidays, most commands typically let everyone go since the cadre don't wanna be stuck there themselves. Right after I had got caught driving my Commander STILL let me go off post for Easter Vacation, because he didn't want any of his NCOs spending all day watching me sleep. Christmas Exodus of course is 2 weeks.
Hope this helps.

Re: AIT and holiday leave
I spoke to recent grads & was advised that there are no more weekend passes in AIT. This was implemented this summer and will be the norm moving forward. Is this a TRADDOC thing or perhaps training site specific, I don't know. Either way just don't expect anything in terms of passes.

East Carbon began their opening week of the season with a slew of games.
After an 83-30 loss on the road to Whitehorse on Dec.1, the Vikings looked to turn it around against Uintah River.
But after leading for most of the first half, Uintah River overtook the Vikings' 19-17 lead in the third quarter and went on to a 48-33 win.
"The second half we just couldn't find the basket," coach Jeff Cisneros said. "We struggled from the field and shot three for eight from the foul line."
Kyle Leonard was the high scorer for the Vikings with 11 points. Kevin Cline accumulated eight for the night.
The next night East Carbon hosted Carbon High's sophomore team.
Leonard lit up the floor with 17 points, while Cline added nine and Andy Farlaino posted five.
East Carbon looked to have the game clinched but a Carbon surge in the fourth quarter vanquished the Vikings' lead and Carbon won 46-35.
The Vikings finished the exhausting week with a tournament hosted by Salt Lake Lutheran on Dec. 5 and 6.
Salt Lake Lutheran trampled the Vikings in their opening game, winning 71-30.
According to Cisneros, the team was overmatched and turnovers really hurt their momentum.
East Carbon ended the week on a positive note, however, taking Uintah River into a triple overtime battle.
The Vikings lost three key players to fouls in the third overtime and Uintah River coasted to a 63-56 win.
Leonard had 27 points, including seven three-pointers. Farlaino contributed 11 and Cline added seven.
Leonard was named to the all-tournament team for his performance.
The team will enjoy a break this week before resuming play on Dec. 13 against Escalante at home.
The game begins at 1 p.m.

Candidates and interested citizens convene at the county courthouse to scan the 'big board' for updated counts Tuesday night.
In the battle between Red and Blue for state and national offices, color us mauve.
Carbon County voted to keep its Democratic congressional representative and its District 69 state house representative, but went Republican in all other partisan races. There is evidence of considerable ticket-splitting, given that only 1,336 of the 5,316 votes cast were for a straight-party ballot. Of those, nearly 60 percent were for the Democratic slate and 37 percent Republican.
Matheson wins
Incumbent Democrat Jim Matheson won fewer than half of the 16 counties in the Second Congressional District, but still managed to out-poll challenger Morgan Philpot by close to 11,000 votes, 116,375 to 105,441. Carbon went overwhelmingly for Matheson, 3,551 to 1,432, and Salt Lake gave him 77,468 to 43,670.
However, he was clobbered by more than two-to-one in the Republican strongholds of Utah and Washington counties and trailed in seven other counties.
GOP takes senate, governor races
In the race for the open U.S. Senate seat, Carbon County joined 28 other counties in Utah by giving the majority of votes to Republican Mike Lee. Democrat Sam Granato fared better here than elsewhere, however, garnering 2,212 votes for Lee's 2,552. That is 50.16 percent for the winner. Statewide, Lee got more than 61 percent of the vote.
Carbon County also gave a majority of its votes to the Republican incumbents Gary Herbert and Greg Bell for governor and lieutenant governor. Herbert and Bell garnered 54.72 percent of the vote while the bipartisan ticket of Peter Corroon (D) and Sheryl Allen got 40.86 percent. Statewide, the victory margin was 64 percent to 32 percent.
Republican Patrick Painter retained his seat in District 67 of the Utah House of Representatives by a margin of more than three-to-one overall. However, his margin of victory in Carbon County was narrower than in other counties. Carbon voters gave him 906 votes (52.49 percent) to Democrat Scott Parkins' 749 (43.4 percent).
Democrat Christine Watkins cruised to victory virtually unopposed in the District 69 race. Nevertheless, she did not get 100 percent of the votes cast. There were 51 write-in ballots cast for other candidates out of a preliminary tally of 2,863.
In the non-partisan race for State School Board, Carbon joined the rest of Region 14 in voting for Dixie Lee Allen over Johny Thayne, 2,507 to 1,362.

text: The Minister of State for Food and Horticulture from the Republic of Ireland and Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Northern Ireland have confirmed their plans for the island of Ireland to be declared a GM-free zone at the Terra Madre Ireland 2008 conference on food and farming policy. This follows similar calls by the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly. The conference was organized by Slow Food Ireland. Slow Food International President Carlo Petrini complemented the Ministers' GM-free policy statements and those which resulted from some of the 40 conference workshops, adding that great work has been done by the small-scale farmers, fishers, artisan producers chefs, students and citizens who have come to reaffirm the need for a new approach to agriculture. No GM crops are grown in Ireland and there is no realistic prospect for this to change. The only GM crop authorised for cultivation in the EU is modified to produce a pesticide against the European corn borer which does not exist in Ireland. Ireland is the EU's biggest importer of GM animal feed used to produce non-organic meat, poultry and dairy produce and sold with a GM label. Michael O'Callaghan of the GM-free Ireland Network urges both governments to implement their policy with a ban on the cultivation of MON810 maize, with strict measures to prevent the importation of live GM seeds, the mandatory labelling of GM food sold in restaurants, storage and transportation and also with the mandatory labelling of meat, poultry and dairy produce from livestock fed on GM animal feed. He also suggests an all-island public conference to inform takeholders on aspects of GM food and farming with international experts, measures to ensure that no-GM feed is made available, and a non-GMO certification scheme for meat, poultry and dairy produce from livestock fed a GM-free diet. http://www.gmfreeireland.org/press/GMFI42.pdf Download here PDF format:

WASHINGTON (WUSA) --The Occupy protestors are back on Monday morning,marking the one year anniversary of the Occupy movement in Washington, D.C. with two demonstrations: Shut Down K Street and Storm K Street. The first one left from Farragut Square at 7 a.m. Protesters will target the usual suspects: banks, businesses, and government agencies all along K Street corridor, including Goldman Sachs, Freddie Mac, The IMF, American Bankers Association and The U.S. Department of Justice.
For people who work at those places. you know what you'll be dealing with. These are the same kinds of demonstrations that you saw one year ago. Exactly one year ago, Occupy DC protesters first started camping out in McPherson Square. They lived there in tents for about four months before getting kicked out by U.S. Park Police.
Now, you can expect to see them back for what they're calling a "Week of Resistance" starting with the protests on K Street Monday morning. Occupy K Street retweeted a picture from Occupy Eye that states: "The finishing touches are being put on the #OccupyDC 1-Year Anniversary. Join us tomorrow, 7am ET, when it kicks off." Their plan on Monday targets major traffic arteries such as Washington Circle, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and Mount Vernon Square so you may want to take a different route if you usually commute in through any of those locations.
Around 8 a.m. Kristin Fisher reportedabout 50 Occupy DC protesters had arrived in Farragut Square. They chanted, "Out of the park and into the streets" and the shut down of K Street was officially underway.Protesters marched down K Street and up 18th then movedsouth on Connecticut. DC Police were not pleased after a protester kicked a patrol car.
Then things started to get ugly. Protesters tried to force their way inside 1030 15th St. but were pushed out by security. (We have posted the video - WARNING: RAW VIDEO OF OCCUPY DC PROTESTERS AT K ST OFFICE BUILDING MAY CONTAIN LANGUAGE).
The protest then tied up traffic at I St. and 13th. Among the signs was one that read:"Middle aged and middle class. Also occupying."
In a very surprising turn of events, an Occupy DC protester was injured. She claims she got shoved by police. According to Kristin Fisher via Twitter, "To keep me from getting a pic of injured protester, a breast-feeding mom just stepped in front of camera & flashed me! #InterestingTactic"
Kristin Fisher is tweeting from the scene @KristinFisher.
The OccupyDC protesters will march from Freedom Plaza to the Department of Veterans Affairs at noon on Tuesday, we are told. Veterans will reportedly be among the protesters in front of the department.

Recent Hiking Pant Reviews
Columbia Saturday Trail II Convertible Pant
Made of thin material, which is both good and bad. Coverts to shorts: awesome! Love that they convert to shorts if you get too hot. Had to use this feature last summer at the National Zoo in D.C. — instant relief. The material stretched enough that I didn't have to remove my shoes to turn the pants into shorts. Anything you put in the pockets shows up as a huge strange looking bulge, except the one pocket near the right knee. This includes thin wallets. Even a single credit card looks strange… Full review
RailRiders WeatherPants
Pockets are too deep. These are not cheap pants. I could easily get two pair for the price of one of these, but they were so highly regarded I thought I'd give them a try. I bought four items and three didn't fit right. Repeated phone calls and emails to the company went unanswered until we sent a register letter. We returned all three items and two weeks later they resent one item in a smaller size but were completely unresponsive about the status of the other three. The pants fit nicely and are… Full review
Patagonia GI III Pant
The Patagonia GI III Pant is a lightweight, quick-drying, durable pant that does a decent job of blocking the wind. The elasticized waist gives a comfortable fit, and the included belt helps keep them in place during strenuous activities. Two large handwarmer pockets, a large zippered cargo pocket on the right thigh with elastic lanyard inside, and a large zippered pocket on the right hip allow you to securely carry smaller items like a wallet, cell phone, compass, keys, etc. I picked up these pants… Full review
RailRiders Backcountry Khakis
Very lightweight, excellent aesthetic (actually looks like something I'd wear to the office!), well designed pockets. Best for hiking or going on the town. Highly recommended for those who want quick drying hiking pants that can transition easily to other more formal ventures. I purchased these to use on an upcoming several day trip. Overall, the fit and finish on these pants is excellent. Further, they're light, hang well, have normal belt loops (as opposed to the really thick ones on some hiking… Full review
The North Face Men's Paramount Convertible Pant
Practical and comfortable, these pants excell in a variety of conditions. Got a pair of these a few years back, and still love them. I have done many backpacking and day hike trips in them, and they are still my "go to" pants in a variety of conditions. Some other reviewers have complained about the fit of these, but I find that they fit me perfectly. Some pants and shorts I've had in the past, have a tendency to be pushed down by my pack hipbelt, but these stay in place nicely, all day long. The… Full review
L.L.Bean TrioZone Pants
This fleece pant was purchased as an alternative to insulated Gore-tex type pants, for activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, kicksledding, and skijoring. I have found the pants to perform better than I had expected, and they are used 4-5 times per week. I would recommend this product, especially if it can be obtained on sale (as is currently). These pants are very comfortable. I have previously owned fleece pants that pilled, and the fleece deteriorated...these pants have maintained their fleece… Full review
Montane Super Terra Pants
These are rugged outdoor pants which can be used for many different activities. Durable, yet stretchy, Montane's Super Terra Pants are comfortable in fit and feel. With plenty of deep pockets located nearly everywhere, having access to any gear or food on the trail isn't an issue. Even with leg vents, I'd still recommend wearing these for cool/cold weather use as the material itself isn't very breathable. Testing Process Montane claims that the Super Terra Pants can be used for several uses… Full review
RailRiders Men's Adventure Khaki
A great pair of pants for traveling and light adventures, but still nice enough to wear into the office on Monday morning. Super comfy, unexpectedly tough, and quite stylish. The Adventure Khakis are the lightest pairs of pants I own. I have one in each color and I wear them several times a week. What I love about the Adventure Khaki is how lightweight and packable they are. You can crush em up, jam them in a bag, and pull them out hours/days later and they will be wrinkle free. They are super light… Full review

The choice for every adventure you can imagine. There are very few products that can so easily move from the trail to the street as well as these pants. I have taken mine, literally, from numerous backwater places all over the world.....then jumped onto a train, cab, or plane and was still considered respectable in every environment. With all of the benefits of style, quick-drying, tough-as-nails and proper fit..the choice for the ONE (or two) pair of pants for any and every adventure is so, so… Full review

Probably should have paid the flight attendants double duty for that trip...One can understand the passengers being more than a little surly especially the ones stranded when their bus broke down between Mobile and New Orleans.
I actually feel they were thankful for the company/crew to give them a ride home, the passengers were probably considering flying delta instead of carnival cruises to Mexico. Those people went through a lot of crap literally.

POTSDAM - All three SUNY Potsdam spring sports teams has a busy week against conference and non-conference rivals.
The mens lacrosse team hosted the College at Brockport in their only contest of the week. The Golden Eagles used a late fourth quarter rally to send the game into overtime and to secure eventual 10-9 win late Saturday afternoon. Potsdam would hold a 5-4 advantage going into the half. The Bears extended their lead over the third quarter and claimed a 9-5 lead heading into the final quarter. However, Brockport shutdown the Potsdam offense in the final stanza to complete the comeback victory. Senior midfielder Pat Morrill (Webster, N.Y.) had a game-high four points (4g-1a) for the Bears and senior captain Rob Kunz (Watertown, N.Y.) chipped in two goals and a helper. In goal, senior captain Stefan Sloma (Niskayuna, N.Y.) made nine saves.
The womens lacrosse team hosted several key games this past week. On Tuesday, the Bears rallied to defeat New Paltz in an exciting overtime thriller, 15-14. Freshman attack Bri McClusky (Watertown, N.Y.) would score a buzzer beater at the end of the second half to send the game into OT. In the extra period, senior captains Whitney Boshart (Watertown, N.Y.) and Denise Johns (Marcellus, N.Y.) each scored to put Potsdam up by a goal.
Junior goalie Jen Chmiel (Rochester, N.Y.) stopped a critical Hawk free position opportunity with just 39 seconds left and Potsdam ran out the clock to seal the win. Sophomore midfielder Margaret Wall (Rochester, N.Y. ) matched a career-high with five goals in the game. The Bears then hosted Brockport on Saturday for their second game of the week. The Golden Eagles set the tone early and kept the foot on the pedal. Brockport scored 13 goals in the first half to cruise to a 21-5 victory. Potsdam concluded the long week with an 18-7 decision over North Country rival SUNY Canton Sunday afternoon. The Bears offense was led by sophomore Bailey Weigel (East Amherst, N.Y.) and McClusky, who each totaled seven points in the contest.
The softball team hit the road for a long weekend of action. The Bears traveled down the road on Thursday to take on North Country rival St. Lawrence University to start the tough slate. Potsdam would split with the Saints and received a stellar pitching performance by junior Megan Johnson (Heuvelton, N.Y.) in the first game of the doubleheader. The Heuvelton native would record her first career no-hitter in a 1-0 victory over St. Lawrence. Johnson joins teammate Ashley Thayer (Winthrop, N.Y.) as the only Potsdam pitchers to no hit an opponent and is the third no-hitter in school history. The Bears then headed to New Paltz and Oneonta State for a pair of SUNYAC doubleheaders. On Friday, the Hawks would sweep Potsdam 15-0 in the first game and 3-2 in the second contest.
On Saturday, Oneonta rallied to defeat the Bears in the opener, 9-3. The Red Dragons then blanked Potsdam 5-0 in the final game of the twin bill.
Senior Pat Morrill earns his second Bears male performer of the week honor. Morrill recorded three goals and an assist in an overtime loss to Brockport Saturday afternoon. The senior has notched eight goals and one assist in the last three games.
Junior Megan Johnson is the Bears female performer of the week. Johnson opened a long road weekend with her first career no-hitter in a 1-0 decision over North Country rival St. Lawrence. She is the second Potsdam softball player to throw a no-hitter. The Heuvelton natives performance marks the third time in school history that a pitcher has no hit an opponent. The junior then pitched in relief against Oneonta, holding the Red Dragons scoreless in four innings on the mound.
The softball team returns to the diamond on Wednesday in Utica to face SUNYIT for a 3 p.m. doubleheader. The mens lacrosse team returns to the Maxcy Turf when they host Oswego State at 7 p.m.Wednesday. The womens lacrosse team begins a four-game road trip this afternoon when it will faceoff against SUNYAC foe Oneonta State at 4 p.m.

Is there any documented evidence for suicide among vertebrates other than humans? Lemmings not accepted !
The problem is that committing suicide, using the commonplace definition of it, would require an understanding of death. I am sure that an animal can have a basic understanding of the death of others, so far as they realise the difference between a living companion and it's dead body. But if they understand that this lifeless body will never go "back to normal" again and that there is also future death for themselves, I am not convinced. So, without the understanding of the own, irreversible death, there is (following the definition) no suicide.
Well, there are certain behaviors that may qualify. The clearest example I know of would be sexual cannibalism, and more specifically (source):
That sounds pretty suicidal to me...
A less flagrant but commoner example is that of mothers dying to nourish their offspring. Again often seen in spiders, the best example I know of is the giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini). The female will chose a den and lay her eggs. She will then spend her last weeks tending her young, never leaving the lair to hunt. Eventually she dies of hunger and her body nourishes her young. My source here is the wonderful BBC life documentary series.
Neither of these are vertebrates of course but still, I thought the suicidal little spider was interesting.
According to this article whales could kill themselves by swimming to the beach and even when pushed back to the water, they return or dogs can drown in the water when suffer a lot.

Despite reports that the Mets were dropping their rookie level team in Kingsport, TN, it turns out that the Mets will not be fielding a Gulf Coast League team in 2012. The GCL is the lowest level of professional baseball in the US, and is usually the first landing spot for high school draftees, and international free agents.
The games are played at a pretty low level, but it is the first exposure to professional baseball. This is the most important facet of rookie ball – the at bats and innings young players get. In 2011, the GCL Mets collective had 1854 AB and threw 491 innings over 56 games. Brandon Nimmo, Michael Fulmer and Joe Tuschak and others from the 2011 draft class made his professional debuts. Erik Goeddel and Kai Gronauer, minor leaguers from full-season leagues, used the GCL as a return to competitive action.
How much money could the Mets be saving here? In player and coach salaries it's probably about $250,000. Travel costs were low, almost all of the team's road trips were commutes with no hotel stays. If I recall correctly, the Mets owned their own Florida bus (going rates on coach rentals are about $700-800 per day). What other costs are there? The team was paying for some of the dorms and food for their players. This was probably a major cost. Insurance, which is probably not insignificant. League dues, which are probably insignificantly small – under $10k annually. Uniforms – also probably insignificant since the GCL team wore hand-me-downs. David Waldstein in the New York times puts the annual cost of a GCL team at $750-800,000 annually. For those keeping score at home, that's roughly 1/5-1/4 of a Jon Rauch annually.
The real big issue will be the revised cost of operating the team's Port St. Lucie complex over what used to be the GCL season. However, the advanced-A team will still play at Digital Domain Park, so the complex will stay open. The Mets will presumably still use their PSL complex for rehab. So unless I'm missing something here, I just don't see much cost-saving. I do see the loss of developmental time and opportunities for young players.
The GCL had 15 teams, while the Arizona League had 13 teams in 2011. Assuming no other teams drop their GCL or Arizona affiliates, the Mets will be one of just three Major League teams in 2012 who will not field a true rookie ball team.

Just an excellent physician/surgeon. He did a surgery on me about 16 years ago and my care at his hands could not have been better.

The two above ratings sound like the same person. Be that as it may, this man is probably the best colo-rectal surgeon in the whole area. No, he is not a young red hot, but neither is he a military reject. Lots of years in the reserves, and a tour during Desert Storm. His care has always been top notch. I have had a couple of surgeries he did that other docs refused to do, with excellent results. Excellent pre-op and post-op follow up. He is patient, answering any and all questions. I suggested him to an acquaintce who had been told her colostomy was a forever project. Never could be taken down. 6 weeks later she was home, minus her colostomy and in excellet condition. He may be taking well earned lomg weekends, etc, but as long as he can hold a scalpel I would go to him. There will be few who follow in his footsteps who can hold a candle to his expertise. And, Bob, if you have already retired, the loss is ours.

Burpee Exclusive
Home gardeners should love this bicolor corn since it was bred specifically for them. It has an extended harvest time, a great sugar-enhanced taste and it doesn't need to be isolated from other sweet corn varieties. It's as pretty on the table as it is on the stalk with a nice mix of white and yellow kernels. Ears measure 8½" long with 14-18 rows each. Height 6½ ft. Ready to harvest in 72 days. GARDEN HINTS: Plant corn in blocks, at least 4 rows wide, for cross-pollination and well-filled ears. Grows best in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sun per day). Cultivate carefully to avoid damaging surface roots.

Happily, you've spotted loads of killer ensembles off the runways lately, so today we're delighted to bring you another quartet of tastemakers and the sartorial scoop on each of their to-die-for looks. Whether you have your eye on Maria Sharapova's stunning, patterned frock or want to get Alexa Chung's transitional outfit, look no further than this edition of What Was She Wearing: Answers!.
Alexa Chung
If you haven't already checked out the exclusive Alexa Chung for Madewell collection, we highly recommend you do right away! It's filled with adorable velvet dresses, printed tees, and pretty blouses, so it's bound to sell out at any moment. But that's no surprise to us, seeing as so many of you admire Chung's cool-girl ensembles. Speaking of which, now that we're heading closer to the autumnal months, you've been looking to the stylish Brit for some transitional-outfit inspiration. Earlier this month, at the Levi's Curve launch party in London, Chung caught your eye in a gray and black knit Filippa K sweater and a bit of all-weather leather with Acne's Dali Leather Skirt ($750). To finish off this excellent mid-seasonal wear, Chung slipped on a pair of Marni Sandals ($640, available at Marni boutiques) from the F/W 10 collection and an of-the-moment Russell and Bromley Leopard Print and Hair Calf Bag ($304), resulting in a simple, yet decidedly chic, outfit. To emulate this look, make sure you pick up a comfy knit like Madewell's Sweatshirt Sweater ($58) and a transitional leather skirt; Topshop's A-Line Skirt ($125) is our favorite. Moving on to accessories and footwear: a feline-print bag is a must for the season, so try Coach's Madison Ocelot Print Top Handle Pouch ($148) or Rebecca Minkoff's Haircalf Leopard Fling Bag ($350) for a spot-on style, while Sam Edelman's Zachery Studded Booties ($224) are a great alternative to Chung's much pricier pair.
Rachel Bilson
Our What Was She Wearing: Answers! coverage doesn't seem quite complete without a look from the quintessential stylesetter Rachel Bilson. Let's be honest: the actress is always at the forefront of fashion and her interpretations of the latest trends are invariably spot-on and wearable. You, dear readers, were completely smitten with the darling Alexa Chung for Madewell Beatty Tea Dress ($188, 866.544.1937) she wore out in Los Angeles early this month. And while Bilson styled the frock with a few brown leather accentsÂ--Marni boots and Miu Miu's Matelassé Bag ($1795, available at select Miu Miu boutiques)Â--you could just as easily wear it through the winter with a pair of tights and a shearling jacket. For a thrifty take on Bilson's adorable look, pick up Nasty Gal's Mini Belted Dress ($44) and team it with Jeffrey Campbell's France Wrap Strap Boots ($198). Then for a final Bilson-worthy element, slip Deena & Ozzy's Multi Pocket Flapover Hobo ($68) on your arm.
Gwyneth Paltrow
When she's not filming a blockbuster movie, chasing around her two adorable children, or tending to her weekly lifestyle newsletter Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow can be spotted out and about looking ever so stylishÂ--even in her most casual outfits. For example, Paltrow was snapped leaving lunch in NYC back in August wearing a flowy Alternative Apparel Athena Slub Tank ($38) and slouchy Halston Heritage Drawstring Pants ($172): a relaxed and refined look, indeed! Instead of opting for a pair of flip-flops, Paltrow picked zip-up Givenchy gladiator sandalsÂ--her interesting footwear choices are always a favorite of oursÂ--and livened up her outfit with a bright blue Goyard tote bag. To reproduce Paltrow's on-the-go ensemble, we suggest you start by grabbing her Alternative Apparel tank and Sparkle and Fade's Pull-On Parachute Pants ($30). Unfortunately, her Givenchy sandals are no longer available, but Wanted's Martina Gladiator Sandals ($54) will certainly do the trick.
Maria Sharapova
You might expect to see Maria Sharapova decked out in top-of-the-line tennis gear, but off the court, itÂ's a completely different game. Celebrating the launch of her Fall 10 collection for Cole Haan at The New Museum in NYC last month, the beautiful Russian tennis pro served up a super stylish outfit that, according to your large amount of inquiries, is worthy of a number one ranking. Sharapova is not afraid to experiment with vibrant colors and eye-catching geometric patterns, as demonstrated by her Suno Fitted Bodice Mini Dress ($830). The intricate embroidery and beading detail highlights her impeccable taste for well-made pieces. Also noteworthy: the way Sharapova avoided upstaging the stunning frock with loud accessories. Instead, she complimented her look with Cole Haan's Air Swan Sandals ($198) and Swan Small Crossbody Bag ($228), which are both made with on-trend aubergine velvet. Printed frocks are a great statement pieces, so try ASOS' bold Africa Printed Shift Dress ($84) or a more subtle hue with Forever 21's Boxy Print Woven Dress ($23), they are sure to be a smash even through the winter months! Just pick up Sharapova's exact Cole Haan pieces, and you will be ready to attend your next cocktail party.Â--Jessica Baker

Restored 1972 VW Westfalia Camper sold by VintageVWCars.com. Super fun for camping! California Van with No Rust! Only had 94,XXX miles on it. It was stored indoors for 10 years prior to VintageVWCars purchasing it and refurbishing the brakes (Hoses, calipers, shoes, pads, lines...) and giving it a good 1600cc engine (with a double-barrel Carborator & header exhaust system) and switching the canvas for the pop top (which included some sewing of a moon and a star into the fabric). Really solid body and frame. Had a pop top, good canvas, ice box, sink, closets, and brand new tires.

I'm hoping they tweak turrets to be less buggy and actually scale with player gear(That isn't condition damage.). I may actually pick my engineer back up.

Wait is this the update were u can change your weapon combo skills? if not i still dont want to play lol i just hate how your locked to a certain weapon combo skills

Tupac Shakur
Wow - looks very promising. Can't wait for more info about this massive patch!
And just when I pre-ordered ESO... -.-
More and more details being previewed as time goes by. I am excited.
The focus for engineer in this update is to increase their build diversity, allowing for a few more power-oriented styles and increased team support. Engineers will find that there have been quite a few bug fixes for their turrets, as well as new trait functionality to help support your team with them. A few skills like the A.E.D. are having their cast time reduced in order to make them easier to execute in battle.
Alternately: Nerfsssss.

By Lois (Willis) GiordanoHelper
I am writing to comment on the letter "Not Helper I know" written by Flora (Borla) Franck (Sun Advocate, Sept. 7).
I went to school with Flora although I was a couple of grades behind her. I remember the Helper she used to know too. But guess what, at that time we had the railroads and the mining industry to boost our economy.
I don't suppose she glanced at Main Street and saw what few businesses we now have.
I would hope that she looked at the mining machinery area and the new sign welcoming everyone to our special town. The museum is outstanding, and in fact people from foreign countries visit and exclaim what a wonderful museum it is. The little park where the old Central School used to be has new trees planted. We have a cross as a historic marker of the first church in Helper along with a meditation bench. We have a wonderful river walkway (which required many hours of planning and hard work) that is well used by all in this area.
I get tired of people always comparing us to Huntington, Price and Vernal - We can not compete, but we do our best. Main Street may not look outstanding but any improvements you see were done by volunteer workers and local businesses. It was made possible by not only hard work but a lot of love for our town.
In towns everywhere there will always be those who love to keep up their yards and those who could care less as well as those who are just not able to do it.
I saw a man in a wheelchair clean and decorate his yard and man with disabilities put in his own sprinkling system and lawn by hand.
A town shouldn't be judged only by its looks but by the people who live there.
I wish more of the younger people in Helper would take part in cleaning up and caring for our town. There are some that do, but we need more.
You know what though, I don't feel depressed living in Helper. I feel at home in a place where you can walk down the street and say "hi" to strangers and not get looked at like you are going to rob them.

PROVIDENCE – In his travels around the state following the 2012-13 season, whenever Ed Cooley has crossed paths Providence College basketball fans, they have met him with big smiles and thanks for providing hope for the future.
As far away as it may seem, PC's fan base can't wait for the 2013-14 season to tip off. They see the cast that is scheduled to return for the Friars – fingers crossed on that front –along with two transfers and two incoming freshmen, and hope the mix contains the necessary ingredients to end what is a near-decade NCAA Tournament drought.
While fans may want to hop in the DeLorean and fast forward to six months from now, they shouldn't lose sight of why that optimism exists in the first place. The just-completed PC season should be remembered – but not only for the 19 wins, or that the ball was still bouncing during the last week of March – for those achievements don't even begin to describe what a hard-fought journey it was.
One day, you see your senior point guard (Vincent Council) go down and learn that he'll be sidelined for an extended period. The next day, it's revealed that your leading scorer (Bryce Cotton) is hindered by a bum ankle.
Then there's the midseason addition of a prized freshman (Kris Dunn) and the understanding that patience is needed for a player who is playing games less than six months removed from shoulder surgery.
Another player, viewed as a key piece (Sidiki Johnson), comes aboard right before conference play. Nearly six weeks later, the sophomore forward is no longer in the mix.
This tumult of player movement came in what was just Cooley's second year at the helm. The ever-constant shuffling of bodies explained why PC was limping along to the tune of a 2-7 Big East record. Fortunately for Cooley & Co., stability did arrive, and with it, a chance to salvage the season.
Over the final two months, the Friars gelled. Though Cooley didn't have much depth to work with, he and his players refused to bow to lowered expectations. The end result was 10 wins over the final 13 games, a run that even the most loyal Friar supporter would've had a hard time imagining after a last-second 69-68 loss to Brown in late December.
The push to the finish line was like a brand-new foundation for a program that not too long ago was in a serious state of disrepair. Cooley hopes that fans remember that effort even as they envision what next season may offer.
"I'm just proud of the perseverance and toughness they displayed," said Cooley about the consideration the 2012-13 PC squad merits. "Next year is going to present a lot of different challenges that our fan base can't see. Everybody is hoping, but there are separate challenges that we'll have to deal with. Something will come up. What it is, we don't know, but something will come up."
Before there's a season to ponder, the offseason beckons for Cooley's Friars. On many levels, it figures to be an interesting spring and summer. Here are some items that will be worth watching.
Possible goings
A resolution on Ricky Ledo's application for the NBA Draft is imminent – the redshirt freshman has until April 28 to decide whether to throw his name in the hat or return to suit up for his hometown.
Ultimately, it's Ledo's call to make. While Cooley will offer as much support as he can, the coach is probably hoping for a decision that arrives sooner rather than later – as the Friars will need to move forward recruiting-wise in case Ledo leaves.
"I'll continue to talk to Ricky, and obviously that deadline is coming up very, very soon," said Cooley. "At the same time, I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for him as well."
Another Friar who could leave with eligibility still on the table is Kadeem Batts. The redshirt junior is on track to graduate in May and could opt to get a head start on his post-amateur hoops future. Like Ledo, Cooley hopes to have some answers regarding Batts in the not-so-distant future.
With the Sidiki Johnson Experiment over, coupled with uncertainty hovering over Ledo and Batts, and Vincent Council's four years up, the Friars could enter next season with 10 scholarship players – Bryce Cotton, Lee Goldsbrough, Brice Kofane, LaDontae Henton, Carson Desrosiers, Kris Dunn, Josh Fortune, Tyler Harris, Brandon Austin and Rodney Bullock.
The NCAA limits teams to 13 scholarships. Cooley was asked about awarding a scholarship to hardworking walk-on Ted Bancroft in the event the Friars are unable to bring someone in the fold next season.
"It's something we've talked about and is definitely a possibility," said Cooley about Bancroft, who would be a senior. "If we can add somebody who can give us what we need moving forward, we'll do that, too. Recruiting is an everyday thing and you never stop recruiting."
Making sure the band sticks together
Along with his numerous player roster question marks, Cooley is mindful of keeping his coaching staff intact. He says it wouldn't register as a shock to have someone come up to him at this weekend's Final Four in Atlanta and inquire about his coaches' services. But Cooley believes he is in the business of grooming his staff to be future head coaches, and not just assistants for other programs.
"When you look at programs that are building and eventually get over the top, the one thing they have is continuity among the staff. That's really important," Cooley noted. "Guys on the staff know their roles. They help organize team meetings and help greatly with scouting and recruiting.
"I think it would be a compliment if someone comes looking at our staff. It means I hired the right guys," he added. "You can't be afraid to lose guys, especially if they can better their lives. I think they're compensated well enough where they aren't going to get lured away because of money. They're going to be lured away because of opportunity."
Solidifying the schedule
Cooley said that working out an agreement for a high-caliber opponent to play a non-conference game at the Dunkin' Donuts Center is a tough chore – the last non-Big East top 10 team to tango with PC on its home floor was No. 7 Memphis on Dec. 10, 2005. Amidst a steady stream of "thanks, but no thanks," he remains optimistic that something can be ironed out.
"We've asked a lot of people and it's just not happening right now," Cooley acknowledged. "We're going to try and find the best opponent we can that helps our RPI and strength of schedule."
Providence will play Kentucky next year, albeit on a neutral floor, and getting one of the game's marquee programs on the schedule speaks to Cooley's willingness to play the best. Home games are already on the docket against Boston College and Brown, with Yale and Fairfield also in the mix. The Friars will travel to URI and participate in the Paradise Jam, set for Nov. 22-25 in the Virgin Islands.
The race for playing time is officially on
Cooley plans to conduct individual player meetings prior to boarding a plane for Atlanta later this week. One item that will surely be stressed is making sure that each returning Friar can start earning their keep the moment they exit the coach's Alumni Hall office.
The development of the PC players Cooley and his assistants inherited from the previous regime reveals a teaching side that yielded tangible results. Bryce Cotton, Kadeem Batts and Lee Goldsbrough have all come a long way since getting recruited to Providence by Keno Davis, and the individual success each player was able to achieve illustrates the passion Cooley has in instructing and molding from a pure basketball sense.
"As a coach, our philosophy is to put you in your strength as an individual that will tie into team success," Cooley said.
The idea of exposing Kris Dunn to more competitive basketball after a short-circuited first year is what Cooley envisions after the promising guard received an invitation to try out for the Under-19 U.S. basketball team this June in Colorado. Cooley will also be on hand to serve as what he calls "a floor coach."
"It's going to be important for Kris to embrace the opportunity and not only compete, but make the team," Cooley said. "He's got to go out there and do the little things that he did for our team – become the best defender and an energy guy. Becoming a glue guy, that's what he needs to develop."
Basketball players are often made during the summer months when very few are watching. Whether it's Cotton improving his ball-handling or LaDontae Henton honing his outside shot, the quest to become better in hopes of equaling the rising expectations of ardent Providence followers is already under way.

- How to Read a Study Record
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), cancer of the bile duct, is the first cause of cancer death of the people in the northeast of Thailand. The incidence of CCA in this region is highest not only in the country but in the world. CCA is a slow growing but highly metastatic tumor. At present, there is no standard chemotherapy or effective treatment for CCA. Most of the patients have short survival after diagnosis. Strong evidences from in vitro, animal and clinical studies indicate that vitamin D can prevent and control growth of cancer. Our preclinical studies in CCA cell lines, animal and patient tissue culture indicate that vitamin D effectively reduce growth of CCA. Supplementation of vitamin D to chemotherapeutic drugs enhance drug toxicity and better response. At present, there are several clinical trials in USA on supplementation of vitamin D or its analogs to cancer patients. The side effect or toxicity of using vitamin D supplementation is low, some patients had stable disease and some had good response. The current study is set up a clinical trial phase II of vitamin D (calcitriol) in combination with 5-fluorouracil, Mitomycin C and Leucovorin in an open label-non-randomized study to evaluate the tumor response in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This study will provide an alternative/effective chemotherapy treatment for CCA patients. Better survival and improved quality of life are also expected.
