Call to serve brings veteran to Hooksett Town Council
Adam Jennings, who received a Bronze Star Medal for his efforts while serving as a Green Beret, has been appointed as a Councilor at Large in Hooksett.
HOOKSETT — After spending 12 years serving America in the Armed Forces, Adam Jennings will spend at least the next seven months serving Hooksett after being appointed as the new Councilor at Large by the Town Council Wednesday night.
The vacancy Jennings, 31, was voted in to fill occurred when former vice-chair and Deerfield Town Administrator Leslie Boswak resigned due to time constraints.
"I figured if I don't do it, someone who wants to take my freedom or money will, and I spent 12 years defending the Constitution. Residents can expect me to be fiscally responsible and to have an understanding of residents' concerns. And I am always willing to talk to somebody if they want," Jennings said.
Jennings, a native of Illinois, joined the army the day after he graduated from high school and ended up serving as a medic in the Green Berets special forces unit. Jennings performed multiple tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, and for his service in Afghanistan, Jennings was given a Bronze Star Medal, which is given to individuals for acts of heroism, merit or meritorious service in a combat zone.
"We were in a valley in Afghanistan when we were ambushed, and I helped patch everyone up and get them (evacuated to a hospital at a nearby base.) I think that is the main thing I got the medal for," Jennings said.
He added, "In the Green Berets medics are still soldiers, so while there are specialists, everyone has the same job until that speciality is needed. Everyone is proficient, no one stands by."
Jennings, who also has a masters in Biotechnology that he earned while serving, was one of two candidates the board considered. He was voted in 7-1, with board member Robert Duhaime supporting the other candidate, Tom Keach.
"Well I was certainly very happy, his qualifications, especially serving, are very impressive. I think he is ready. I look for someone who is engaged, willing to serve and shows interest and is excited about helping the town, and in my mind he fits the bill. I think the rest of the (Town Council) will be very happy with him," Town Council Chair James Sullivan said.
Town Administrator Dean Shankle said that it is good that the Town Council is getting a new member.
"He will bring a different perspective than most of the councilors so it will be good. He has a good background, a young guy, and I think the board was looking for some new blood. He has a good military background, obviously a disciplined hard working young guy, so that is what (the Town Council) went with," Shankle said.
Jennings, who lives with his wife and three young daughters and works from home, said he fell in love with Hooksett after looking around the area for a place to put down roots after he left the army.
"I think there is a great sense of community in Hooksett, and I would like to keep that. We don't have onerous tax regulations, and good businesses are located here. I think there are some things that we can improve but overall we are very well located, and more businesses like Bass Pro Shops are coming," Jennings said.
As a fill-in councilor, Jennings' term will only last until the next election in May, 2014. Jennings added that he is undecided if he will run for re-election.
"We will see how things go, and then I will talk with my wife and I will figure it out in the spring," Jennings said.

Examination of African-American History
Dr. Howard Burrell of Felican College was the keynote speaker at a special lecture delivered at the college in celebration of African-American History Month. Dr. Burrell's remarks focused on the Three-Fifths Compromise as a factor in our United States Constitution.
"I believe that our founding fathers were troubled by what came to be known as the 'Three-Fifths Compromise, which basically stated that people of color were only three-fifths human," said Dr. Burrell. "I believe they were fully aware that they planted a racial time bomb."
Dr. Burrell cited key time periods and events in our nation's history that were the result of that "time bomb" exploding before it had a chance to diffuse, including the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s that were "a turbulent and often dangerous time."
"The tragedies that occurred during those years were a heavy price for people to have paid," Dr. Burrell said. "But in many cases, those sacrifices were the right and necessary thing to do to remove years of the cancerous and negative residue left behind by the Three-Fifths Compromise.
"It took 81 years for that language [of the Three-Fifths Compromise] to be removed from our Constitution and although that "toxic residue still remains today, sometimes below the surface, it does not rob me of the hope I feel for our nation," he concluded.
Dr. Burrell was raised in the small southern town of Utica, Mississippi, when our nation was going through the turbulent Civil Rights movement and during the US involvement with Vietnam. He attended Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. While in college, he was a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps and upon graduation he was commissioned as second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. His military career included management in Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Human Relations education in Air Force bases in the United States and Turkey and includes several diplomas, certificates and credentials from the U.S. Air Force Command and Staff College and the Air Force Air University. He retired from the Air Force with the rank of Major.
Previous to Dr.Burrell's joining Felician College, his work career included upper level management positions in various corporations and as an Assistant Director in the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. He has served as an adjunct professor and trustee of Centenary College, as the Gates-Ferry lecturer there, and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Sussex County Board of Chose Freeholders.
Dr. Burrell previously delivered remarks on this topic as the Gates Ferry Lecturer at Centenary College. In addition to Dr. Burrell's degree from Tennessee State University, he holds a Master Degree from Wayne State University and a Doctor of Psychology from California Coast University.

How effective is ASLR in preventing arbitrary code execution in a buffer overflow type exploit? How hard is it for an attacker to bypass this without simply guessing where the addresses are?
ASLR is a defense-in-depth mechanism. It is effective, but can be bypassed (the 2010 PWN2OWN contest break included an ASLR bypass).
ASLR's primary purpose is to defeat "ret-to-libc" attacks which are a mechanism of bypassing DEP. IMHO ASLR is only really effective when bundled with other protection mechanisms like DEP (ASLR without DEP can typically be trivially bypassed).
Mark Dowd and Alex Sotirov - Black Hat 2008 are the experts on defeating ASLR.
ASLR strength also depends on the architecture used. Under x86 your virtual address is limited to 4 bytes, which gives you only 2 possible bytes for randomization (taking into account the memory granularity), while x64 gives you much more freedom to randomize the localization.
Imagine you attack the server 32-bit program, which continues its execution after the crash (restarted by the watchdog, for instance). In this case you could just bruteforce the return address with your exploit, while it is considered impossible for x64-application (to the best of my knowledge).

Rules for Ultimate Adventure 2012
*No whiners!
*We are not responsible for you during this event.
*We will use the buddy system so you are partnered with another vehicle throughout this adventure. If you do not find a buddy before the first trail day, we will help you find one. Don't worry about it. We're all friends.
*We will always try to stick together and help everyone, but with a group of this size, it will not always be practical to delay the group for one or two people.
*Only one vehicle allowed per invitee, and only two people per vehicle. And they must attend the whole trip- no substitutions.
*Vehicles must be driven (not towed) on the entire Ultimate Adventure.
*Vehicle may be towed to repair location--the intent of the no-trailer rule is to enforce the pavement portion of the adventure.
*The group will leave as close as possible to posted times--don't be late or you may be left behind.
*Bring overnight gear with your trail rig (sleeping bag, food, water, and so on) for unplanned situations--don't depend on a support vehicle or trailer along the way.
*Participants are responsible for all of their own expenses (food, lodging, fuel, repairs, fees, and other expenses).
*No pets and no children under 18 years old on the event.
*You are considered a representative of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine, as well as an adult, and a representative of the four-wheeling community as a whole. It is important to hold yourself to the highest standards of behavior as we are on display to the entire nation. We expect you to behave accordingly.
*Alcohol consumption will not be tolerated on trails or any time you are driving. Passengers may not drink on trails. Violators will get one verbal warning; the second offense removes you from the Ultimate Adventure.
*Illegal drug use will not be tolerated any time during the tour. There is no warning--first offense gets you removed from the Ultimate Adventure.
This is a 4-Wheel & Off-Road event designed to entertain our readers and offer promotional value to Ultimate Adventure sponsors. In order to protect the marketing value, Ultimate Adventure offers to its sponsors, only official sponsor's lettering and/or logos are allowed to be displayed on the Ultimate Adventure vehicles. Your vehicle must be stripped of all lettering/logos not part of the Ultimate Adventure. You will be supplied with logos from the sponsors should you wish to run them, as well as Ultimate Adventure logos for your vehicle which must be applied.
Vehicle/Driver Requirements
There will be a tech inspection at check-in. Your vehicle will be inspected for all of the following equipment and paperwork. You will not be allowed to join Ultimate Adventure if your vehicle fails this inspection.
*Vehicle must be street licensed and insured, and driver must have a valid driver's license, current registration, and current proof of insurance.

Each year we shoot for the end of June or beginning of July. This will require you to be ready to start the event within this time. Ample time will be given to make preparations for hotel and trailer arrangements, but this is an adventure and as such, dates and locations are subject to change. In addition, you are responsible for all of your own expenses.
Video, Web, and Magazine Exposure
Inasmuch as the Ultimate Adventure is an edit-based event for the entertainment of the readership, we request that all participant generated video and still photos of the event not be placed on the internet or distributed until the full story has been printed in the magazine. 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine will be creating daily updates and stories for our web and electronic media properties which you can link to on the road. We welcome you blogging and updating your own sites with information prior to the event, but not the whole story or location. Once the event starts please refrain from full updates, or day by day details of the trip or posting to personal or business Facebook sites, web sites, Twitters, or any other sites. We will also have a film crew along with us for the production of a DVD, and you will need to sign their releases since this is not a public event.
Send completed form to:

Mayor Richard Alcombright was picking up apple brownies from Rona Brandt at the farmers' market. Below, the market offers fresh produce, flowers and jewelry and other handmade items.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Looking for local fruits and vegetables? Don't want to drive all over the area to get them? Well, there's a solution for that.
The first of many weekly farmers' markets took place in North Adams on Saturday morning in the St. Anthony Municipal Parking Lot near the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
Farmers from around the region gathered for the city's first market of the season to sell the fruits of their labors. They'll be there from 8 to noon on Saturdays until the end of October. Several other local markets, including Williamstown's on Spring Street on Saturdays, have already opened.
Market manager Diana Cirillo said she hopes to expand the market over the course of the summer. Her mission is to make healthy, locally grown food accessible to all residents of North Adams. "People can use their SNAP benefits in the market to give them more choices for healthier eating."
The market is able to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program digital cards as well as coupons for the Women, Infants and Children food prograM.
Cirillo is also hoping to grow the market as the season progresses. "I'm hoping to bring more locally grown food to the attention of the community," she said. "We have room for more farmers. We're always looking for farmers who want to come and sell their fruits, vegetables, honey, maple syrup, eggs, meat — whatever they produce. It would be awesome if we could fill the whole lot.
"Eventually what we'd like to do is bring a learning experience into it, have local recipes, give information on growing food, what it takes to produce it, where things come from, things like that," she continued.
Local farmers on hand were selling garlic, raspberries, beets, radishes, carrots and salad greens as well as beans and peas and all manner of early summer vegetables. There were also cut flowers, home-baked goods and even some jewelry available — all of it produced right here in the Berkshires or close by.
Emma Morin has been a vendor at the market for 12 years. She doesn't have a farm but her home garden is large enough to produce an abundance of vegetables and she makes jams, jellies and knitted goods to sell as well.
As early as 9 a.m., some stands were beginning to run low. Rona Brandt brings baked goods and said she runs out of stock every week, so you might want to arrive early if you have a particular favorite – like her whoopie pies or her apple brownies (before Mayor Richard Alcombright scoops them up).
The farmers' market has room for more booths; $10 will get you a spot on the lot for the day.
If you missed the market or you just want to sleep late on Saturdays, some of the farmers will be at next week's Northern Berkshire Food Festival, which takes place on Main Street from noon until 4 on Sunday, July 17.
You can find the market and the Food Festival on Facebook.

Evenings of Hope. We are offering in participation with Mental Illness Awareness Week. Each evening will cover a topic that speaks to frequent questions and concerns around mental illness. For example, we often hear about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with respect to women and men who experienced sexual abuse (such as the victims of Jerry Sandusky) or with war veterans from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Another common topic for concern is mental illness and violence, which came up again in the recent shootings in Aurora, CO and Tucson, AZ. Should people feel afraid of a person with a mental illness hurting them? How likely is a mentally ill person to be violent toward others? In truth, a person with a mental illness is far more likely to be hurt by others, or to hurt themselves, than they are to hurt others. We welcome your presence and your friends at any of our meetings. Please join us as we talk about these important issues and come together as a community of compassion and hope.

|Watauga BOE Names Field for Leigh Wallace
|Written by Gary Childers
|Tuesday, 15 January 2013 08:06
Following a sincere recommendation from Watauga High School's principal, Marshall Gasperson, and review of its new high school facility "naming" policy the Board of Education voted unanimously during Monday evening's meeting to name the high school lacrosse field in honor and memory
of Leigh Wallace, beloved teacher and coach, who recently passed away. There was some question about whether, under the new policy, a fee would have to be assessed for the naming right. After reviewing the policy it was determined that the Board could name a facility based on a person's dedication and commitment to a school and its students without accessing a fee. Everyone agreed that Leigh Wallace exemplified these things and with that school Board member, Ron Henries, made the motion that was unanimously approved.

|Road Issues Before Watauga Commission
|Written by Gary Childers
|Wednesday, 19 September 2012 06:17
Discussion of roads was an important part of the Watauga County Commissioners meeting Monday evening. The first item pertaining to roads was a request by Mr. Ralph Yates to rename a portion of Hwy 194 after his father, Mr. Ed Yates, "He was involved in building 321
to Blowing Rock, 88 in Warrensville to the Trade Tennessee line, 194 from Todd all the way to Elk Park." Yates told the commission that his dad ran the only steam shovel for state projects in Avery, Ashe, and Watauga.
Chairman, Nathan Miller, reflected the general sentiment of the commissioners about Mr. Yates request, "I think it's great to honor local people with their accomplishments that they did while they were here. That's just one stretch of road that he helped build, and he helped build this community." After brief discussion the Commissioners directed that the request be placed on the agenda for public comment during their October16th meeting thereby meeting one of the states' requirements for naming a road. The other item pertaining to roads was one that will make improvements in the future for those needing to travel west of Watauga County. Mr. Craig Hughes presented a request from the Watauga County Comprehensive Transportation Planning Committee asking the Commissioners to pass a resolution endorsing the designation of Hwy 421 from Vilas to Tennessee as a Strategic Highway Corridor and Intrastate Trust Fund Project, "Strategic Highway Corridors was adopted by the North Carolina Board of Transportation in 2004 and seeks to identify, protect, and maximize use of highway corridors that play a critical role in regional and statewide mobility." Mr. Hughes further explained that the Transportation Planning Committee, upon reviewing the Comprehensive plan, determined that Hwy 421 was better suited to meet the goals of the Intrastate and Strategic Corridor roads that Hwy 321. The Commissioners discussed the proposal and agreed to support the recommendation of the Transportation Planning Committee by unanimously adopting the resolution.

The Secretary shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section, make payments to State educational agencies for each of the fiscal years 2002 through 2008 for the purpose set forth in section 6961 of this title.
(b) Allotments
(1) In general
Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this section, of the amount appropriated for each fiscal year for this subpart, each State participating in the program assisted under this subpart shall receive an allotment equal to the proportion of the number of immigrant children and youth who are enrolled in public elementary schools or secondary schools under the jurisdiction of each local educational agency described in paragraph (2), and in nonpublic elementary schools or secondary schools within the district served by each such local educational agency within such State, relative to the total number of immigrant children and youth so enrolled in all the States participating in the program assisted under this subpart.
(2) Eligible local educational agencies
A local educational agency referred to in paragraph (1) is a local educational agency for which the sum of the number of immigrant children and youth who are enrolled in public elementary schools or secondary schools under the jurisdiction of such agency, and in nonpublic elementary schools or secondary schools within the district served by such agency, during the fiscal year for which the payments are to be made under this subpart, is equal to at least—
(B) 3 percent of the total number of children enrolled in such public or nonpublic schools during such fiscal year,
whichever is less.
(c) Determinations of number of children and youth
(1) In general
Determinations by the Secretary under this section for any period with respect to the number of immigrant children and youth shall be made on the basis of data or estimates provided to the Secretary by each State educational agency in accordance with criteria established by the Secretary, unless the Secretary determines, after notice and opportunity for a hearing to the affected State educational agency, that such data or estimates are clearly erroneous.
(2) Special rule
No such determination with respect to the number of immigrant children and youth shall operate because of an underestimate or overestimate to deprive any State educational agency of the allotment under this section that such State would otherwise have received had such determination been made on the basis of accurate data.
(d) Reallotment
(1) In general
Whenever the Secretary determines that any amount of a payment made to a State under this subpart for a fiscal year will not be used by such State for carrying out the purpose for which the payment was made, the Secretary shall make such amount available for carrying out such purpose to one or more other States to the extent the Secretary determines that such other States will be able to use such additional amount for carrying out such purpose.
(2) Fiscal year
Any amount made available to a State from any appropriation for a fiscal year in accordance with paragraph (1) shall, for purposes of this subpart, be regarded as part of such State's payment (as determined under subsection (b) of this section) for such year, but shall remain available until the end of the succeeding fiscal year.
(e) Reservation of funds
(1) In general
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subpart, if the amount appropriated to carry out this subpart exceeds $50,000,000 for a fiscal year, a State educational agency may reserve not more than 20 percent of such agency's payment under this subpart for such year to award grants, on a competitive basis, to local educational agencies within the State as follows:

At least 1/2 of the funds reserved under this paragraph shall be made available to eligible local educational agencies (as described in subsection (b)(2) of this section) within the State with the highest numbers and percentages of immigrant children and youth.
(B) Agencies with a sudden influx of children and youth
Funds reserved under this paragraph and not made available under subparagraph (A) may be distributed to local educational agencies within the State that are experiencing a sudden influx of immigrant children and youth and that are otherwise not eligible for assistance under this subpart.
(2) Use of grant funds
Each local educational agency receiving a grant under paragraph (1) shall use such grant funds to carry out the activities described in section 6967 of this title.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Report: Christian Westerman planning transfer to ASU
According to a report from ASUDevils.com, Auburn offensive lineman Christian Westerman plans to transfer to Arizona State.
Westerman, a product of Hamilton High School in Chandler, chose Auburn after a heavy recruitment from schools like Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida.
The 6-foot-5, 298-pounder redshirted in 2011, and played sparingly this season, appearing in three games and starting one. He had been bothered by an ankle injury as well.
Westerman was rated the third-best offensive tackle prospect in the nation out of high school by Rivals.com and second by ESPN.
The ASUDevils.com report states that as of Thursday morning, ASU has not received a scholarship release for Westerman from Auburn.

An object in motion stays in motion, so take a break from the quickened cadence of your day-to-day in a place that boasts a sweet stillness with an Escape to South Haven, Michigan.
A peaceful, resort vibe abounds in this town, once nicknamed The Catskills of the Midwest, where romance is found on leisurely bike rides, across intimate tables in quaint bistros, and in the air at Inn at the Park Bed & Breakfast in South Haven, Michigan.
Here, you'll learn a thing or two about an object at rest. Just moments from the shore of Lake Michigan, the inn features Victorian elegance and modern luxury—including enhanced gardens, cozy ambience, and spacious rooms with fireplaces—that entices guests to return year after year. The Tamarack, Linden, Aspen, and Spruce rooms offer elegantly appointed queen beds, and Jacuzzi Suites like the Juniper, Sycamore, Magnolia, Hawthorne, and Willow rooms provide a luxurious whirlpool experience.
Escapees will want to sample an appetizer or dessert with dinner at Tello Italian Bistro, Thirsty Perch Grille, or Sophie's Steakhouse & Bar or purchase an in-house mani/pedi from the spa.
Hold hands during an unhurried stroll into town, just a little more than one block from the inn. Explore the rich, maritime heritage of the Great Lakes at Michigan Maritime Museum, and take a date-perfect ride on The Lindy Lou—an electric-powered river launch.
Relish a slowed pace amid the sprawling views of the harbor from the Lightkeeper's House, located on a bluff overlooking the Black River, and be sure to pick up a few nautical-themed mementos at the museum.
In the afternoon, add a little get-up-and-go to your together time and go for a bike ride along Van Buren Trail, which runs parallel to Lake Michigan. Let the fragrant greenery and crisp air give you the push you need to challenge your partner to a mini race along the trail.
Conserve some momentum to splurge on a decadent dessert at The Golden Brown Bakery. Snack on fresh doughnuts, or—for more robust nibbling—devour a bowl of mac 'n' cheese, or a hearty barbecue chicken sandwich.
With your appetite appeased and your cozy room awaiting, you'll conclude that not even the forces of gravity could keep you away from an Escape like this.
"We needed a quiet place to go and not have an agenda. This was the perfect spot. The breakfast was outstanding as well as all the little goodies provided throughout the day."-- BedandBreakfast.com

With over 40 percent of the heavy truck traffic in Utah passing over Highway 6 daily, it is a major artery in the states' highway system with an ever increasing traffic overload.
Because of too many years of neglect this highway was not upgraded as it should have been, and far too many people have paid with their lives because of that neglect.
This road does not reflect the amount of revenue generated in this part of the state.
Again, the state needs to commit to a master plan of making Highway 6 four lanes, full length, with a reasonable timetable for completion.

Trophy Blue Cats
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Potomac River
October means Trophy Catfish time in the Potomac River
I had the pleasure of having my cousin, Dave, from Ohio and my good friend from my hometown in Pennsylvania, Whitey, join me for a weekend of fishing on the Potomac River just south of D.C. I took Friday off work to catch bait and it was a good thing I did...it took 6 hours to catch 7 Gizzard Shad, but that would have to do. They arrived Saturday morning around 7:30 and we were on the water by 8:00. The weather was supposed to be really windy and it was all that and more...whitecaps and three foot waves were the norm on Saturday but my 170CC Triumph handled it well even though I had to put two anchors out the front of my boat just to keep it in one spot.
More importantly, we caught some big fish with the largest of the weekend coming in at 57 lbs. I truly believe this fish was over 60lbs but we couldn't get an accurate weight due to the boat rocking.
We managed to put over 100 lbs of fish in the boat on Saturday and then again on Sunday morning.
All in all we had a great time with everyone catching quality fish. We laughed so hard, ate too much and got soaked from all the waves...a perfect weekend. I think I have two new Trophy Catfish converts on my hands...they're already talking about the next trip.

Maryland's Trophy Blue Catfish
Type: Freshwater
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River
This time of year everyones attention is turned to Striped Bass, but I want to tell you about the other world class trophy fish that calls Maryland home the Blue Catfish. Attached you will find a picture of the 61 lb 13 oz (IGFA Certified Scales) Blue Catfish that I caught on April 26, 2010 in the Potomac River. I had launched my boat out of Leesylvania State Park, VA at daybreak and caught bait (Gizzard Shad) fairly quickly. By 7:00 a.m. I was anchored over a favorite drop off and baited four rods. The first fish to the boat was less than 2 minutes later, a scrappy 15 lb Blue Catfish. The next fish was the large one in the photo about 45 minutes after the first one. This fish had gotten wrapped up in another line, got wrapped around my propeller, and tangled in my anchor line during the 10 minute battle. After finally getting the net under it, it took two hands and a lot of effort to lift it into the boat thats when I realized just how big it was. Since I was by myself, I had to set my camera on the timer to get the picture that alone took three tries before I could get a decent shot. Other Blue Catfish caught that day weighed at 25, 35, 30, 23, 17 and 37 pounds. What a fantastic fishery we had in the Potomac River.

The endowment funds currently support the Dorothy Broderick Student Conference Scholarship.
Established by the late William C. Morris, a publishing executive who championed libraries, the Bill Morris Endowment supports reading initiatives at YALSA, including Teen Read Week and the Young Adult Literature Symposium.
In 2014 the Margaret A. Edwards Trust turned over management of this fund to ALA/YALSA. Margaret Edwards was administrator of young adult programs at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore for over thirty years. She spent her professional life bringing books and young adults together, pioneering outreach services for teens, and establishing a training program designed especially for librarians beginning their work with teens. As per Edwards wishes, the funds go to support the promotion of free reading for teens, especially those in socio-economically challenged areas.

Established on April 22, 1929 with the support of the "father of Soviet literature," writer Maxim Gorky, Literaturnaia gazeta is a landmark publication in Russia's cultural heritage. With its focus on literary and intellectual life, Literaturnaia gazeta allowed Soviet Russia's preeminent authors, poets, and cultural figures a particular podium for commentary, affording perhaps fewer restrictions than might be possible in other publications. Literaturnaia gazeta was considered the most open among newspapers of the Soviet era, and it remains popular among the intelligentsia in today's Russia. Publication of Literaturnaia gazeta was completely suspended in 1942 and 1943, and no issues were produced. In 1944, only 8 issues were published. The lack of database content for this period is not a gap, but reflects the publication schedule during these challenging years.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

If you are a regular reader, you will remember I was given the chance to cure fresh olives at home from Penna-Great Olives this fall. They shipped me a box of olives, they were very generous and sent 2.5 pounds of olives. I was faithful to my daily duty to curing the olives using the Mediterranean Partida style of curing fresh olives at home.
I am happy to report the olives are now in their respective jars with seasoning and brine to cure for a little longer before I begin tasting them. I used a several flavor combinations for the olives. In two jars I used lemon slices and sprigs of fresh oregano. In another two jars I used lemon slices and a Mediterranean spice mix and in the final jar I used an additional chili pepper with the spice mix. I'm going to add in some garlic cloves to two of the jars to give them some kick. I ended up filling almost 5 quart jars full of olives.
I never really thought about what was used to cure olives I bought at the store. They come in jars without any seasonings visible so this is something new for me. The nice folks at Penna Olives are ready to sell fresh olives to anyone who would like to try out home curing with fresh olives. It's really not difficult. Here is a review of the process to this point:
1. Rinse and sort olives, tossing any bruised or bad olives. I think there were about three in my box.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice into each olive or using a mallet, break the skin of each. This allows the bitterness to leach out in the water.
3. Find a jar or plastic container to put the olive in and fill with clean water until the olives are covered. Be sure they stay under the water, using a plate if necessary.
4. Change the water twice daily for a minimum of 10 days but I went to 21 days. Here are my olives after 21 days.
5. Rinse and sort olives again, checking for mushy olives that might have not been covered by the water the whole time.
6. Decide on your flavor combinations and make a brine. I used 3/4 cup red wine vinegar, 4 1/4 cups bottled water, and 5 Tbsp kosher salt. I added enough brine to each of the jars to fill and cover the olives. At this point the jars go into the refrigerator.
7. Wait another 4-5 days and you can taste the olives. They can keep for up to one year. Enjoy!

SAD TIMES AT NEWSDAY; And why it's time for all NHL teams to host media on the road
(UPDATED, 10:00 AM – A very spirited and interesting discussion in the Comments area, including a post from a former Newsday writer. I have responded to some…CB).
Newsday is firing 5% of its staff during a downturn in the newspaper industry one expert called "the worst since the Depression." Read the paper's own coverage of the story here.
According to Long Island Business News, Newsday will eliminate the category of "sports columnist," potentially affecting mainstays such as Shaun Powell and Johnette Howard. Shaun, for one, has been a major proponent of the Lighthouse Project in the newspaper. The photo desk is expected to take a major hit, with 13 photographers likely to lose their jobs.
According to Newsday, the travel budget is expected to be cut.
I understand there are far greater issues here, but I recommend that Newsday and the Islanders broker an appropriate travel arrangement that's beneficial for the newspaper and maintains the coverage of the team. Just as the Islanders travel with their radio and TV broadcasters on the private team charter, beat writer Greg Logan and any other assigned Newsday writers should fly with the team to and from games. (Needless to say, the Post and Daily News should be welcomed, too).
This would be at no expense to the newspaper. The only agreement necessary is that the team must not expect the coverage of Newsday's writers to be compromised by the travel arrangement. Why should the Islanders – and all NHL teams, for that matter – do this? Because the coverage is crucial to the franchise, the sport and the league. Too many teams, including the Islanders, Panthers, Kings and Ducks, have seen their full-time coverage dramatically drop off in the last few years.
Some writers prefer not to travel with the team because the team bus departs road arenas 30-40 minutes post-game and the writer may not have the time to pen the perfect post-game recap for the next day's paper. In this era of non-stop blogging and huge numbers on newspaper websites, that's a frivolous concern.
Using last night as an example, Logan could have traveled with the Islanders after the game in Washington and been home by 12:30 am. He could have filed a solid game story before leaving the Caps rink with the team, and if so inclined he could have blogged a follow-up when he arrived home before 1:00 in the morning. Better still, he would have gotten a good night's rest in his Suffolk home and been sharp when the Islanders practiced and dropped the latest news bomb on us at 11:00 am this morning.
My hunch is Logan probably got about three hours sleep at his Washington hotel before an early cab for his early flight to Laguardia and then driving to Iceworks. He's a pro who's been doing this for 30 years so naturally his coverage today was top-notch, but do we really have to run him into the ground?
NHL teams can laugh, pooh-pooh the idea, have a screw-the-media attitude, declare the-team-is-the-team nonsense (yeah, like those Dallas guys who anonymously ripped Avery)…and, well, in a few years they can be nostalgic about the days when newspapers used to cover hockey games on the road.
I'm real sorry for what's going on at Newsday. Let's hope everything possible is done before anyone else gets hurt.

By, Adam K. Fetterman
In the spring of 2010, the State Board of Education in North Dakota ruled to end the use of the University of North Dakota (UND) Fighting Sioux nickname/mascot. While some are praising the end, others are mourning the loss. Those that support the mascot assert that the mascot promotes American Indian honor and tradition. The opponents say that it promotes racism and a hostile environment for American Indians. While there seems to be little evidence for the former, aside from certain tribal councils supporting various mascots, there has been evidence for the latter. Martin Luther King Jr. once said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." If so, this should be a good enough reason to retire American Indian mascots in its own. However, there may be even more of a reason to do so.
Recently, Kim-Prieto, Goldstein, Okazaki, and Kirschner (2010) found that when exposed to an image of an American Indian mascot, people were more likely to endorse stereotypes of other minority groups. They concluded that "the effects of these mascots have negative implications not just for American Indians, but for all consumers of the stereotype" (Kim-Prieto et al., 2010, p. 547). What this means is that the use of these mascots create a wider, hostile environment for all those exposed. Therefore, the retirement of the Fighting Sioux logo appears to be a step in the right direction towards reducing racism not only directed at American Indians, but also towards anyone else who may be a victim of racial stereotyping.

Listen to the song of Galileo signals and earn your award ! Veröffentlicht am: 14/03/2014, Letzte Aktualisierung: 25/06/2015
To mark the first anniversary of Galileo's historic first satnav positioning measurement, ESA plans to award certificates to groups who picked up signals from the four satellites in orbit to perform their own fixes.
In 2011 and 2012 the first four satellites were launched – the minimum number needed for navigation fixes.
On 12 March 2013, Galileo's space and ground elements came together for the first time to perform the historic first determination of a ground location – the Navigation Laboratory of ESA's Technical Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
From this point, generation of navigation messages enabled full testing of the entire Galileo system – not just by ESA and its industry and institutional partners but also by any entity with a customised satnav receiver [..]

Available Dates and Location:
October 20, 2011 Syracuse, NY
October 21, 2011 Batavia, NY

As a part of DASH-NY, New York State's Obesity Prevention Policy Center, Project for Public Spaces is working with The New York Academy of Medicine to deliver the New York State Healthy Places Training Program in six locations around New York – Syracuse, Batavia, Saranac Lake, Farmingdale, Albany, and Brooklyn.
The Healthy Places Training Program presents a holistic approach to improving population by planning active transportation systems that connect to key destinations, including healthy food hubs that eliminate food deserts and support local business. The training program will work with local, regional, and state public health officials, along with other key stakeholders, to understand and implement policies/programs that simultaneously encourage physical activity and healthy eating - while also revitalizing the streets, parks, and gathering spaces within their communities.
The trainings will be one-day each, and will include presentations and interactive exercises, including a facilitated on-site analysis activity. Each training will educate practitioners and stakeholders on best practices in fostering active transportation and healthy food programs through markets, by way of policy, design, and community engagement actions. Training instructors will review methods/tools that health officials and communities can use to break through bureaucratic silos, take personal action, and engage likely and unlikely partners, to transform their community into a place that promotes physical activity and healthy eating, while improving public space and community development.
PPS instructors will use their experience in working with a wide range of agencies, organizations, and interest groups, along with case studies and recent research, to demonstrate the need, opportunities, and methods by which community health can be improved.
A new "Healthy Places Audit" will be developed for use during the trainings. The audit will allow participants to understand first-hand the barriers and possibilities of changing the built environment to improve public health.
The trainings will be delivered by Aurash Khawarzad and Kelly Verel of PPS during October and November of 2011. We invite you to come with your community partners (planners, county officials, business owners, etc.) to this FREE event.
We wish to thank our partners for their collaboration on delivering these regional trainings.

LOWVILLE Lewis Countys office building project finally is expected to go out to bid next week, setting up a possible early October vote on whether to proceed with construction.
This is all going to depend on what the bids come in as, Buildings and Grounds Committee Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, said following a 2�-hour session Thursday to discuss final details with architects.
Plans are to seek bids for five contracts general construction, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and site work through Sept. 19, according to Rick W. Tague, president of Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, which is designing the project.
If contracts were awarded at the legislators Oct. 1 meeting, contractors could mobilize by mid-October, allowing for completion by the end of November 2014, he said.
While site work often is done by the general contractor, this project which also would include drainage and parking lot improvements at the adjacent Public Safety and Department of Social Services buildings includes enough work that savings may be gained by bidding it out separately, Mr. Tague said.
Along with the base bids, contractors will be asked to submit alternate bids for possible additional work, including installation of high-density shelving at DSS, more extensive parking lot rehabilitation throughout the outer Stowe Street complex and use of stamped concrete for sidewalks.
Legislators in March narrowly voted to go out to bid on a two-story, 45,000-square-foot building on outer Stowe Street that would house the Department of Social Services, 911 dispatch center, Department of Motor Vehicles, Board of Elections, Office for the Aging and Highway Department administration.
Project detractors including some candidates running for seats on the Legislature this fall have balked at the cost of the estimated $11 million project.
However, supporters suggest that putting up a new building would be the best long-term move by eliminating any lease-related constraints, consolidating county offices into a few major complexes rather than scattering them all over the village, and using $4.5 million to $5 million in state Department of Social Services funding that would not be available for nonconstruction options.
County officials dont expect significant savings from eliminating rent, since a new building would increase maintenance costs.
Since the March approval, design completion has been delayed by subsequent floor-plan changes, including some intended to offer better security in the second-floor DSS portion of the proposed building.
At Thursdays session, architects reviewed all outstanding issues with legislative committee members, Buildings and Grounds Supervisor Frank J. Archer and representatives of Hueber-Breuer Construction Co., Syracuse, which has been selected as the projects construction manager.
Bernier, Carr officials said site work for the project would be done in phases, beginning at the new building site, then working back to the front of the Public Safety Building and finishing up with the parking lot outside the current DSS building.
Asked by Legislator Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden, if any work could be done this year, architects suggested that a fair amount of foundation and utility work and even steel erection could by completed, depending on the weather.
County legislators are planning to solicit proposals soon from firms interested in removing a storage building near the site of the proposed building and putting up a new one elsewhere at the complex.
Earlier this month, they also authorized Bernier, Carr to run a camera through Stowe Street sewer pipes, at a projected cost of $3,000 to $3,500, to determine if upgrades would be needed to accommodate the new building.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.
