Over the last few months, the wonderful facilities staff at the library have been putting more than 100 new outlets throughout the building. Most of the outlets were added to the worktables in the library, so that students can plug in thirsty laptops.
This project is the result of the comments that students placed on the flipcharts we posted last year in the library. We asked how we could improve the library, and one of the most common suggestions was access to more power outlets. So we made it a top priority!
If you ever have suggestions on how to make the library better, please let us know! We truly do listen and are always looking for ways to improve Belk Library.
Belk Library and Information Commons, the University Writing Center, the Composition Program, and Writing Across the Curriculum Program present The Belk Library Prize for First-Year Students' Demonstration of Information Literacy Skills.
This prize recognizes an outstanding research paper written by a first-year Appalachian State University student for a class in the UCO 1200 (First Year Seminar) or English 1000 course. The ability to find, evaluate, and use information effectively is an educational goal for every Appalachian State University graduate.
This award promotes students' active engagement in the processes of library research and encourages them to synthesize library research skills with the reading, writing and critical thinking skills developed in their first year at Appalachian.
Papers must display evidence of substantial research using library resources. Only papers written by first-year students at Appalachian State University will qualify.
The due date is Monday, March 11, 2013.
The awards will be given to the winning students during the Celebration of Student Writing on April 17, 2013.
Criteria for Evaluation - Papers will be judged by a panel of librarians, members of the University Writing Center, the WAC program, and the Composition Program, according to the following criteria:

Congratulations to librarian Elizabeth Williams on the publication of Appalachian Travels: The Diary of Olive Dame Campbell!
In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid, entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they encountered. Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar writing about the region, little has been published about the Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological, educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely accessible to scholars and students for the first time. Appalachian Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at the turn of the twentieth century.
American folklorist Olive Dame Campbell (1882–1954) was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. In 1925, she founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. Elizabeth McCutchen Williams is research librarian and assistant professor at Appalachian State University.
"A compelling account of turn-of-the-century Southern Appalachian society and culture based on the first impressions of an outsider who would later become a key interpreter of the region to the world beyond. Appalachian Travels is both an invaluable historical resource and a terrific read." — John C. Inscoe, author of Race, War, and Remembrance in the Appalachian South
"Olive Dame Campbell's fascinating and entertaining diary contains much of the first-hand evidence gathered for the Campbell's essential study, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland. It sheds new light on John and Olive Campbell but also on social conditions and daily life in Southern Appalachia, and the educational and religious work of protestant denominations in the area in the early twentieth century. Williams' enlightening introduction and authoritative annotations greatly enhance the value of this work: a significant addition to Appalachian scholarship." - Fred J. Hay, Anne Belk Distinguished Professor and Librarian of the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection, Appalachian State University

Celebrate Banned Books Week @ Belk Library and Information Commons
With award winning authors Chris Crutcher and Lauren Myracle
Tuesday, Oct. 2 @ 7:00 pm
On-campus attendees: Belk Library Rm. 421
Virtual attendees: AETZone's Belk Library Forum
Chris Crutcher, winner of numerous writing awards, including the Intellectual Freedom Award from the National Coalition Against Censorship and New York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle will be speaking to us virtually in the AETZone.
Chris Crutcher, one of the most frequently banned authors in North America - a fact he considers an accomplishment, rather than a drawback - is the author of fourteen books -- eleven novels, including his latest PERIOD 8, two short story collections and an autobiography. Prior to his work as an author, he taught school in Washington and California and was acting director of an Oakland alternative school for nearly a decade. That academic history, coupled with 25 years as a child and family therapist specializing in abuse and neglect and 30 years as a Spokane Child Protection Team leader, has infused his literary work with realism and emotional heft. His signature blend of tragedy and comedy has made him a favorite with teen and adult readers.
Lauren Myracle, one of the most challenged authors in 2009 and 2011, is the author of many young-adult novels including ttyl, ttfn and Shine all New York Times bestsellers. Myracle was born in Brevard, NC and grew up in Atlanta, GA. She earned a BA in English and Psychology from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Later she earned an MA in English from Colorado State University, where she taught for two years, and an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. A portion of the proceeds of the book sales from her latest novel Shine benefits the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

Rangers @ Maple Leafs
Air Canada Centre, 7:00 p.m. Thursday
Rangers' record: 1-2-1
Maple Leafs' record: 4-0-1
Less than a week after letting the visiting Leafs slip away with the extra point during their home opener, the Rangers are already presented with an opportunity for revenge. Although the crowd at Air Canada Centre is sure to be fired up by their team's early success, the Rangers will at least have an opportunity to regroup away from the pressure of the Garden, where the Blueshirts managed to scrape up only the second-fewest home wins in the NHL last season.
The Rangers need to prove that they can pull together some wins without the likes of Marian Gaborik, captain Chris Drury, and alternate captain Vinny Prospal. Although neither Drury nor Gaborik made a notable impact on the score sheet in the games they did play, the team undoubtedly feels the psychological effect of losing three key leaders. Ryan Callahan has continued to live up to the "A" on his chest by playing with his characteristic spark, but Marc Staal-- the newly named alternate captain in Prospal's absence—seemed a little lost in Monday's game against the Avalanche. Coach John Tortorella, however, has said that the decision to give Staal the "A" was unanimous among the coaching staff, and he hopes that it will push Staal to take on more of a leadership role with the team.
Tortorella will once again juggle line combinations in order to try to generate more offense for the Blueshirts. Although he didn't seem too happy about it, Tortorella has announced that the team will not be calling anyone up from Hartford for the upcoming road trip to Toronto and Boston. Reports from today's practice include the reuniting of center Derek Stepan with wingers Sean Avery and Ruslan Fedotenko, and the placement of Erik Christensen between Alex Frolov and Brandon Prust. Tortorella has made it clear that he is counting on Christensen to contribute more offensively during the absence of the team's veterans, and hopefully Christensen can help Frolov to start putting up some numbers, too. Brandon Prust—arguably one of the Rangers' most exciting players to watch thus far—will be playing alongside Christensen and Frolov, and is expected to "add a little grind to that line", according to Tortorella.
Rookie defenseman Mike Sauer is in for tomorrow night, although it is unclear whether he will be replacing Matt Gilroy or Steve Eminger. Backup goaltender Martin Biron will also join the team on the road trip, but Tortorella has not disclosed whether he will be playing in Toronto or Boston.
The Maple Leafs are coming off of their first loss of the season, and they are still a hungry, motivated team. The puck simply did not bounce their way in the Leafs' 2-1 overtime loss to the Islanders on Monday night; they scored two goals that were waved off after video review, and a controversial penalty call in overtime led to John Tavares' eventual game winner. The Leafs are looking to regain their momentum, and the vulnerable Rangers are ripe for the picking.
While the Rangers primarily need to focus on putting together a concentrated, sixty-minute effort, there's a high probability that the tension between these two teams will carry over from last week's game. Mike Komisarek is bound to be still smarting from Sean Avery's post-whistle slashes, and Colby Armstrong, the Leafs' player who landed the hit that knocked Gaborik out of the lineup, will almost certainly be skating around with a target on his back. The Blueshirts, however, cannot afford to take any unnecessary penalties. The Rangers are looking for a fresh start in Toronto to jumpstart the season and prove to fans that the thriller against the Sabers on opening night wasn't just a one-time fluke.

Here's what your Woot warranty does and does not get you.

MASSENA Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray has announced that a committee will study the future of the municipally owned Massena Memorial Hospital.
Mr. Gray sent an email Thursday evening to the major parties associated with the hospital asking them to appoint representatives.
Participation on this committee isnt a request, he wrote. It will be formed and will convene before the end of September. We will meet behind closed doors to facilitate a frank and productive discussion.
The chairman of the hospitals board of managers reacted coolly.
We havent come to any conclusion as to the future of the hospital, Andrew T. Spanburgh said. Thats why we think its a little premature to come and make the joint committee.
But he later added, At this time I really havent taken a close look at Mr. Grays email, and am not sure what to think.
The committee will include members of the Town Council, the hospital board of managers and the hospitals administration, as well as local representatives from the Civil Service Employees Association and the New York State Nurses Association, Mr. Gray said.
All parties will be represented, and the public will be kept fully informed throughout the process, he said. As I have said repeatedly, we dont yet know which direction the hospital will move in the future, but the public and Massena taxpayers can rest assured the Town Council has no intentions of closing the hospital or selling it to some outside corporation.
The town supervisor said that the committee will look at numerous options for the hospitals future and that everything will be on the table: vendor and employee contract issues, the budgetary impacts of salaries and benefits for all hospital employees, the profitability and necessity of various hospital clinics, physician performance, hospital expenditures and hospital board decisions and how they affect the hospitals bottom line.
Meanwhile, hospital officials agreed last month to retain Hancock Estabrook LLP, a Syracuse a law firm, to explore transitioning from a municipal hospital to a private, nonprofit facility.
Hospital board members had agreed at their July meeting to hire the law firm at a cost not to exceed $100,000 for the study. The study will consist of three phases. Phase one will include the study of all contracts, such as with vendors and employees, to see if anything would prohibit changing their status.
Phase two would be the implementation phase. Following approval from the Town Council, the hospital could start filing paperwork such as the Certificate of Need to begin the conversion process.
The third and final phase would be going through the Internal Revenue Service to acquire tax-exempt status.
Phase one could take two to three months, according to estimates, while phase two could take one to two months and phase three could go from four to six months.
Mr. Gray said members of the committee he is forming need to be committed to the truth and accepting the final outcome of their work regardless of whether the results meet with their personal favor.
We have a great hospital with a superior staff and a dedicated group of volunteers who serve on the MMH board. I am convinced that if we all come with open minds and put our heads together, we can find a workable scenario that guarantees Massena Memorial Hospital will continue providing top-quality care and great employment opportunities for many years to come, Mr. Gray said.
The plan has the support of Town Councilman John F. Macaulay.
Mr. Macaulay, a Democrat, is the lone member of the board not up for election this year. Mr. Gray is a Republican.
Hes got my support on this. The board has said all along that we need to have good communications on these things, he said. Weve asked people to tone down the rhetoric, but that doesnt seem to be helping. People seem to be making assertions. Joe wants to get everyone in the same room and talk about what changes needed to be made to keep it public or if it ends up going private, whichever way it goes. Hes got my total support.
Mr. Gray challenged Mr. Spanburghs assertion that it might be premature to form the committee. We should have a committee before we make a decision. If were interested in hearing from everyone, and keeping an open mind, I think the committee should come before the decision, he said.
CSEA spokesman Mark Kotzin also expressed some concerns about the committee, noting the unions are being given only one representative each.
We are quite concerned about equal representation on the committee, he said, although he added that the union agrees the committee is a step in the right direction.
Our overall goal is to work with the administration to save Massena Memorial and avoid giving up public ownership of the hospital, he said.
Looking at a projected $15 million loss in reimbursements over the next 10 years and a directive by the state commissioner of health to explore options such as collaborating, affiliating, merging or sharing with other facilities, hospital CEO Charles F. Fahd II has said Massena Memorial Hospital has no choice but to investigate converting from a municipal hospital to a private, nonprofit facility.
He has said the facilitys options as a municipal hospital are limited, and it cannot absorb the projected losses it is projecting in the years ahead.
Mr. Fahd said that as a result of the federal Affordable Care Act, which took effect in April, the hospital expects to see a reduction of more than $10.5 million in Medicare reimbursement, or $1.05 million a year, over the next 10 years.
The hospital also is facing cuts of millions of dollars in Medicaid reimbursement over the next 10 years, he said.
State pension costs are another financial problem for the hospital.
The hospitals contribution to the states pension program was $124,200 for approximately 350 employees in 2002. That skyrocketed to $3.8 million in 2012, and its contribution in December will be $4.4 million. Mr. Fahd said the state is projecting that the hospitals December 2014 contribution for the more than 400 employees will be $4.8 million.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
We sat there staring at the new big screen television we had just set up in the living room. It was bigger than it looked in the store, not smaller like many things I have purchased before.
"Do you think we made a mistake?" I asked my wife, thinking about how a good social worker friend of mine once told me that one of the things that define people caught in the cycle of poverty is having a big screen television, a fridge full of beer and a new car in the driveway while the house is falling apart and kids run around the home in dirty diapers.
"I think that we don't go out much and this is our entertainment," she said. "This will be good."
However I did hear a hint of a question in her voice when she said the last line. Would it be good?
She was right; we don't go out much. Dinner at a local restaurant once in a while is what our dates consist of. We'd rather spend our time and our money on our grandkids and dogs. Now we had this huge square black thing in the living room.
"I worry that it might change our viewing habits," I said. "You know what I mean? I mean like some people we know come home from work, plop down in front of the big screen encircled by surround sound and then go to bed without ever picking up a book to read again."
She smiled.
"Well I read books on my iPad all the time," she said. "I don't know what you do."
It was time to figure out the remote. So we read the instructions, did a little guesstimate and instantly the television flipped on.
Then I realized, suddenly we were digital. We had had box televisions for years and never a digital flat screen. I didn't realize what I had been missing. There were new channels and repeats of the same channels over and over again. The television told me we had over 200 channels, but in reality when you cut out the junk and the repeats, it was a little over 100. Okay I will be honest. When I cut out the junk there are probably only three channels that really give you anything that you need to watch if you have a higher IQ than my Border Collie.
That night after playing with the big new television the rest of the day, I went in the bedroom found the remote for the small box television we have in there and tried to turn on the Tonight Show. I pushed all the wrong buttons.
This made me realize that I, who has a hard time trying to use the single pad on the microwave, will be in a constant state of confusion. I checked all the remotes in the house, in my office and in my garage. All together, I have to contend with nine remote controls, all of them configured differently. But as I thought about it, that final count outnumbered the number of forks or spoons I have in my fifth wheel. Then I realized I had forgotten the remote in the fifth wheel as well, so there were 10.
But that was just for televisions. Now if you count in the remotes for DVD players, Blue Ray players, VCR machines (yes I still have two of those as well), two for the electric fans we run during the summer to keep the one end of our house cool, the one in my wife's car for her on-board entertainment center and others, there are another dozen remotes to contend with.
Twenty-two remotes and I don't know how to use any of them completely, except the fan one that has three buttons (on, off, and speed, which is controlled by the number of times you push it).
Then it occurred to me that I have a storage unit in town that has another couple of televisions in it and some other electronics that also have remotes. It was then I realized that if I threw away all the electronic devices I own at once, it would create an ecological disaster unparalleled in the annals of single person pollution.
Eye opening it was. Luckily many of the remotes around the place are not used very much. I can usually figure out the on/off button on all of them (you know, the red one), and where it points "down" the sound or the channel goes down and where it points "up" the sound or the channel goes up. Past that I get very lost, like selecting a status to run a DVD. Each one is different.
"I think they should make television manufacturers all use the same remote," I said to my wife as I watched Letterman in bed one night. "There should be a law."
"That's weird coming from you, a guy who believes in individual freedom and less government regulation," she said.
I thought to myself "Oh my flat screen, I am becoming a politician, saying one thing and doing another."
That's what too many remotes will do to you.

Continuity is a major key to success for any athletic program.
Gouverneur Wrestling has taken continuity to an unprecedented level in Section 10.
For decades the Wildcats have become synonymous with the team to beat in the Northern Conference and that association is firmly cemented in the current season.
On Saturday night the Wildcats (8-0 NAC) and their huge following visited OFA to secure a 59-21 win and the programs 40th straight victory featuring very familiar family names: some stretch back to the founding of the program by New York State Hall of Fame Coach Lacey Jones.
Leading this years team is Dillon Stowell who owns a number one ranking at 113 pounds in New York States Division II and chiselled 190-pounder Hunter Ayen who placed second at last years Eastern States Tournament and incurred his only loss this season to a 2012 New York State Division I finalist.
Stowell recorded a pin over Austin Lalonde in the 120-pound bout and Ayen moved up to 285 and recorded a fall to OFAs reigning Section 10 Division II champion Nate Sarkin.
Gouverneur has some great kids and they looked very good. We had some good wins but we also had a few guys who wrestled sloppy. You certainly cant do that against Gouverneur, said OFA Coach Bill Mitchell after his team suffered only its second loss of the NAC season.
OFA (5-2) recorded four wins on the night.
Andrew Cole posted his 101th career win via a forfeit by at 182 pounds after Alex Cole registered an impressive take-charge 31-second pin over Arden Ball at 170 pounds.
Cody Allen David secured a 7-6 win over Curtis Fuller at 152 pounds and Tanner LaPiene closed out the match at 99 pounds with a 15-0 technical fall over Derrick Stowell in 2:57.
Other Gouverneur pins came from Aaron Bush who posted an 18-1 technical fall over Josh Wangler at 126 pounds, Zach Ayen over Adam Rickett at 132 pounds, Joey Love over Glynn Breen at 138 pounds, Mark Countryman over Allen Smithers at 160 pounds and Justin Garrison over Justin Pratt at 190 pounds.
Joey Bush won a well executed 7-2 decision over Brody Sheppard at 106 pounds and Robbie Bell shaded a fast-finishing Bailey Phelps 8-6 at 145 pounds.
Robin Carr (113) and Mike Mandigo (220) received forfeits.
We get them started young and work hard to keep them with us, said Gouverneur Joel Baer offering a simple formula for the Gouverneur success.
We have a very good group this year.
Make that every year.

I can't believe that I am already at the halfway point of this first semester. Registration for Spring opened last week, and just looking at the class names is making me so excited for what's to come. But first I need to get through Fall!
The beginning of this semester had a slow start as we got acquainted with the labs, the equipment, and each other. Before we could check out cameras, we had to be taught how to use the cameras. Before using the enlargers, we had to be taught how to use the enlargers. Et cetera. At this point, we are in full swing, shooting our own film using medium format cameras, developing it ourselves, making prints in the darkroom, and mounting prints for presentation. IT IS FUN.
Here's one of the first projects I did – a photogram. It was a way to get our feet wet using the enlargers.
(NB: We haven't done any digital work at all, that will come next semester I think. All these pics below are only pictures of the work, not the actual work. Are you picking up what I'm laying down? Moving on…)
We mounted them, then had an in-class critique.
Before really getting to work on our own photos, we started learning how to mount our work. Here's a picture of my first mounting assignment, using a leftover print from a previous student.
The black edge shows the mat board. We use a dry mount press with tissue to secure the print. For me, this precise measuring and cutting of the mat board reminds me a lot of quilting and cutting fabric.
Our first real photography assignment involved gray cards and various lighting situations using the Sunny 16 rule of exposure.
Because we had not yet learned how to develop the film ourselves, one of our teachers did it for us, in the pro-lab that they have on campus. I only had to re-shoot this assignment once, which I counted as a success! Matching gray cards in the darkroom, though, proved a trying experience. I used a lot of paper.Here's a pile of 4×5″ prints that I went through trying to get it right.
Just this week my second order from B&H arrived; more film and more paper. I have a feeling it won't be my last order!
Here's the film we're using. It's 120 film for medium format cameras.
And my camera!
This gal has given me a lot of grief the past few weeks. It's older than most of the cameras my classmates use, and the main issue I'm having is with the gears. Film spools that were used when this camera was made were just slightly bigger than films spools of today (and film was thicker, too). So the gears are calibrated in such a way that my frames overlap by up to 1/8″, which is not okay when you are required to print your negatives full-frame. Luckily, there's a very clever camera expert who works on our school's cameras, and he suggested I tape my spools to make them slightly larger. And by God it worked! No more overlapping frames! Just when I had that problem solved, the shutter in the lens stopped working. Sporadically. But it's working now so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Here's my green light meter, which was required for use on our "motion" assignment. And all future assignments I presume.
And probably the most exciting thing I've done so far — develop my own film!
That's a rather mundane picture of what is an exceedingly exciting (and at turns infuriating!) process. Going into the dark with a roll of exposed film, coming out with negatives! It's magic (and science). I've only ruined one roll of film so far, and that was a result of my own stupidity.
A handful of my classmates have already felt the pressure and have dropped out. I'm not specifically sure what their reasons were, but the lab is nicer without the crowds, as harsh as that sounds. And even though we've had a lot of projects to do, I have a feeling that it's only just the beginning. We are preparing for a career where missed deadlines means lost jobs, and shoddy work is unacceptable. The high standards are there for a reason, and not everyone can keep up.
I feel like I've learned so much these past few weeks, but with that comes the feeling that I know nothing about photography. Absolutely nothing. I am grateful for the slow start. I look forward to the challenges. Getting to know all my classmates is fun. I really am having the time of my life.

Do I need to fresh water flush the system?
Fresh water flushing is intended to remove the biological contaminants that can grow on the membrane in a stagnant state. Running the unit daily will help prevent this growth. If you are going to flush the system, use non-chlorinated, distilled, or "product water". Fresh water flushing may be useful when a watermaker will be run for shorter periods of time and may be left out of service for more frequent, extended periods of time. A flush is performed on the Katadyn watermakers by simply re-directing your seawater intake valve (supplied) to a fresh water source. This step should take less than 10 minutes. It's important to note that fresh water flushing is not a long-term substitute for a membrane preservative treatment. Preserving your membrane or pickling is the best way to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Does the watermaker have to be mounted below the waterline?
No, the unit does not have to be below the waterline. Although mounting the unit below the waterline is ideal, it is not necessary. The only component that absolutely must be below the waterline is the accessory pump for our silt reduction kit. This small 1 amp pump is not self-priming, so it must be mounted below the waterline
Does the watermaker need a separate thru-hull?
No. Many cruisers prefer to tee into the engine-cooling intake instead of adding another thru hull. This is not a problem because our units do not use enough water to 'rob' the engine of water. This is true of units that make less than five gallons an hour. Only our 160E exceeds this capacity. Whatever input you choose, be sure that it remains underwater at all times to prevent air from entering the system. This is especially important in heeling sailboats. Please note that many head intakes are relatively far up the side of the hull, so this is a poor choice for a watermaker intake.
How clean/safe is water made by the watermaker?
Katadyn watermakers use reverse osmosis to recover fresh water from seawater. This process removes biological, chemical, and organic contaminants from the water. Since the membrane has a pore size small enough to remove dissolved salts, it can also remove most micro-organisms.
How far from the water tanks can the unit be mounted?
The distance between the tank and the unit is not a concern in most installations. If you feel your installation does not meet the guidelines mentioned in the manual, or you just have questions about your particular installation, you may contact Katadyn directly (see the "Contact" page).
How long can membranes last?
Membranes all meet specifications when they leave the factory, however, life span is also dependent on other variables. Preventative maintenance and proper use can prolong the life of your membrane. Chemical contamination or biological growth is a membrane's biggest enemy. Petroleum spillover, oil slicks, chlorine, cleaning solutions, etc. will quickly destroy a membrane. In general, open, blue water is safer than inland or coastal waters. Avoid running your watermaker in busy ports or harbors where pollution is more common. Don't use city water to flush, clean or perserve your membrane - product water or distilled water should be used. To avoid biological contamination, run your watermaker daily if possible. Preserve the membrane when your watermaker will be idle for many days at a time.
How long should I run the watermaker each day?
Watermakers should be run often. This helps prevent biological growth and mineral scaling on the membrane. Remember that 70 – 90% of all the water passes over, and not through, the membrane. This flow not only flushes out rejected salts, but also all the other contaminants too large to pass through the membrane. Running the unit for an hour per day minimum is recommended.
What type of maintenance is needed?
Pickling or preserving the membrane - When the unit is not going to be run for a length of time, membrane preservative needs to be pumped into the unit to prevent biological growth. The time it takes for the growth to get started varies greatly depending on water and air temperature, water quality, etc. The general rule of thumb is to preserve the watermaker membrane if it is to remain idle for a period of 5 to 7 days or more. In very warm water, or hot and humid conditions you may need to pickle the unit if it's going to sit idle even for only a few days. Once pickled, the unit may sit unused for up to a year. Pickling takes only a few minutes, so if there is any doubt as to how long the watermaker will be out of service, protect it. For manual watermakers used for lifesaving, it's recommended their membranes be preserved annually whether they are used or not. Pre-filter rotation - Pre-filters are the first and best line of defense to keep your watermaker in good shape. The more often the pre-filters are maintained, the better the unit will perform. As sediment develops on the pre-filter, it will restrict the flow of water drawn into the watermaker. This can cause excessive wear and a reduction in product water output. Depending on seawater quality, a cruiser can get up to six months of use out of a single pair of pre-filters. Seal replacement: The rubber seals and o-rings, and the check valves and springs should be replaced every 800 – 1200 hours of use. Leaks, reduction in product water output, salty or brackish product water, etc. are signs that seals may need to be replaced. The time required to replace the seals is generally an hour. Allow yourself approximately two hours the first time you go through this process. Replace all of the seals each time you install a seal kit.
Where can I have my watermaker serviced?
Katadyn maintains a large global dealer network. Many dealers provide service and others do not. If you have a question about where you can obtain service, you may contact Katadyn directly via phone or email for up-to-date dealer information. Tel: (763) 746-3500 Toll Free: (800) 755-6701 email: email@example.com.
Where should I install my watermaker?
Ideal locations for watermakers allow easy access to the unit - especially the pre-filter, good ventilation (locations that don't often exceed 113 deg F), and drainage to the bilge. The units can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Where should the reject output water go?
Reject output should be routed overboard, via the simplest means possible. If teeing into another overboard line, be sure the line can handle the additional volume of water being rejected by the unit per hour. Those figures are: 12 gallons for the 40E, 30 gallons for the 80E, and 60 gallons for the 160E every hour, plus the output of the other equipment feeding into this line. It's important not to restrict the flow of your reject output.

PITTSFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- When you walk into the Pittsfield Community Theatre, it's like taking a step back in time. Not everyone is as old school though. Most movie companies are converting from film to digital. An expensive upgrade for the Pittsfield theatre.
The Pittsfield Community Theatre first opened it's doors to the public in 1915. 98 years later it's dealing with a dilemma, either upgrade to a digital projector or risk the chance of closing. The chances of finding an affordable one were low, but Pittsfield Town Manager, Kathryn Ruth, was able to find a low bid from the company of Sonic for a new projector that cost around $60,000. Through the fundraising efforts of the town, it looks like that purchase will be possible.
"We've raised $52,000 through the efforts of all the volunteers and wonderful resources in the community that have helped generate funds for us through fundraisers and donations," said Ruth.
This is not the first time the historical building needed to be bailed out. The Town of Pittsfield purchased the Theatre in 1977 for $24,000 in order to ensure that the theatre remained open. Several years later, the feeling is still the same.
"It's a wonderful resource," said Ruth. "It's magnificent and children will remember coming to the theatre the rest of their lives."
To complete the digital conversion and renovations, the theatre will be closed Friday, March 29th. It will re-open for the playing of it's first digital movie, Snitch on Friday, April 5th.

Fine Art Photography as Social Commentary My images are born in a camera, but come of age in a computer. The impetus for these images comes from music, specifically from the blues. While it's true that the blues come from hard times, it's the way people face hard times that matters. People who sing and play the blues aren't sunk in depression, or boiling with bitterness, they aren't killing themselves or other people, they aren't taking Prozac or Valium. They look hard times in the eye and choose to make music � a triumph of the human spirit. These images are my attempt to show that spirit at work during these hard times in Michigan. I live in Michigan, began saxophone at 60, and photography at 70. I recently moved. My new...

In the early going of Fridays home opener against Gouverneur, the OFA Girls Basketball team struggled with a series of short range misses.
But once they extended their shooting range. Things got better.
Much, much better.
The Lady Devils (2-1 NAC, 3-2) buried seven threes in a 31-point second quarter and went on to make 13 of 18 three-point attempts in a 77-29 NAC Central victory.
The combination of Riley Luckie and Meg Dodge combined to make 10 of 13 three-point attempts and tallied a combined 37 points.
Luckie (6 steals) buried six of seven attempts and also converted two creative drives through traffic scoring 23 points and Dodge (9 rebounds) made four six threeballs scoring 14 points.
We have been struggling with our shooting so it was great to have a night like this, said OFA coach Lynn Blevins.
Gouverneur always plays very hard but we ran our sets well and we just had one of those nights where everything went down.
And it couldnt have come at a better time as the Lady Devils travel to Salmon River on Tuesday in a rematch of last years Section 10 Class B Championship game and then host defending NAC Central and overall Section 10 Champion Canton in the first round of the Ben Cordwell Memorial Tournament on Friday. NAC East Champion Madrid-Waddington and NAC West, Section 10 Class D Champion and state quarter-finalist Hammond will meet in the other first round matchup in one of the strongest fields every assembled for the tournament.
Canton climbed to 3-0 in divisional play with an 80-30 win over Massena while Salmon River 2-1 fell to 3-0 Malone 65-44.
Playing at Salmon River on Tuesday will be a very tough game and the tournament will outstanding, said Blevins.
Susie Morrow delivered eight points and seven rebounds for the OFA cause, Taylor Perry netted eight points with a three, Courtney Sherwin chipped in six points and six rebounds, Erin Tooley grabbed seven rebounds and Danielle Guimond and Brooke Badlam each hit one three scoring five points.
Danielle Bullock buried three threes scoring 11 points for Gouverneur and Alisha Way netted 10 points.
Gouverneur JVs 28 - OFA 27: Gouverneur completed a concerted comeback effort when Catherine Andrews swished a three-pointer with 7/10ths of a second remaining in the game. Andrews finished with seven points and Shannon Knowlton led the Wildcats with 10.
Kierra Johnson netted three threes scoring a game-high 15 points for OFA and Chelsea Raven tallied six points.
Tori Daley scored 19 points and Canton controlled Massena with its defense. Kalie Frank tallied 14 points for the Bears and Natalie DiSalvo netted 10.
Samantha Villnave led Massena with 10 points.
Rachel Lamica scored 19 points and grabbed five rebounds to lead Malone.
Kwio King led Salmon River (2-1) with 12 points and Taylor Francis scored 10.
St. Lawrence Central downed an injury-riddled Potsdam squad led by 19 points from Lindsay Thayer.

Communication and social behavior of herbivorous mammals, such as elephants, manatees, beavers and horses
Our research group examines the development of social and reproductive behaviors as well as the mechanisms, especially chemical that mediate these interactions. In recent years, we have taken more of a conservation behavior approach, as we work to reduce human-wildlife conflict by studying the behavioral ecology of these species, specifically their modes of communication, reproductive patterns and social systems. Thus, applications of our research hope to use an understanding of behavior to facilitate positive human-animal interactions.

Submission DARPA wants swarms of "disposable" satellites to provide almost-live images->
cylonlover writes: DARPA is looking for help in creating a swarm of "disposable" eyes in the sky. It is seeking technical assistance from a wide range of fields — from auto racing to optics — to create the means to provide on-demand satellite imagery for troops on the front lines by way of "a constellation of small satellites
... that would allow deployed warfighters overseas to hit 'see me' on existing handheld devices and in less than 90 minutes receive a satellite image of their precise location."

Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program
Latest News
City of Peoria, Code Chapter 5 contains regulations and references for the Backflow Prevention and Cross Connection Control Programs. This Includes when a backflow assembly is required, annual testing and maintenance, violations, fines and the appeal process.
Learn more about:
About the Cross Connection Control and Backflow Prevention Program
The Environmental division of the Public Works-Utilities department administers the Cross Connection Program. This program includes all new backflow installation inspections, plans review, site surveys, hydrant meter backflow prevention, record keeping, and annual test notification of all backflow prevention devices in the city of Peoria.
It is the city of Peoria's priority to provide safe drinking water to its customers and execute a program of cross connection control which will minimize potential sources of cross connection by installing an approved backflow prevention device where all potential hazards of cross connection may exist between the consumer's and the public water's supply. As stated in Arizona Administrative Code R18-4-215 "A public water system shall protect its system from contamination caused by backflow through unprotected cross-connections by requiring the installation and periodic testing of backflow prevention assemblies."
Without protective devices and assemblies (referred to as backflow prevention assemblies); the potable water supply can become contaminated by any customer in the system. A Cross Connection Control Program is required by the Arizona State Department of Environmental Quality and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (through the Safe Drinking Water Act) to protect the public water system from contaminated water. This program calls for facility inspections to identify and eliminate cross connections as well as annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies.

Elinor Klivans' Chocolate Chip Stuffed Cookies
Makes 16 cookies
Cookie making 25 minutes
Cookie baking 350 degrees, two baking sheets at about 15 minutes each
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened for about 30 minutes
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large cold eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups (18 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Into a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until smoothly blended, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during the mixing. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until blended, 1 minute. The mixture may look slightly curdled. On low speed, add the flour mixture, mixing just until it is incorporated. Mix in 2 cups of the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly.
Roll 2 tablespoons of dough between the palms of your hands into a ball and flatten it slightly to make a two-inch disk. Repeat to make 16 disks, placing them on the prepared baking sheets and spacing them 4 inches apart. Leaving a 1/4-inch plain edge, lightly press 1 tablespoon of the remaining chocolate chips on each disk. Using the remaining dough, roll 16 more disks, placing one on top of each chocolate chip filled cookie dough. Press the dough disks gently to cover any of the chocolate chip filling that shows, especially around the edges.
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time until the edges are lightly browned, but the centers are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm (the filling will be soft and melted) or at room temperature. The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

FINAL: Penguins 6 Rangers 3
Adam's Thoughts:
- They showed flashes in the third period of the team from last season and I think we will see more than just flashes on Wednesday against the Bruins and Thursday against the Flyers.
- They just aren't executing properly. No-look passes, drop passes with no-one around but the Penguins, passes bouncing off of sticks, missed shots, blown coverages and too many penalties. These things need to be eliminated.
- The Penguins are really good and, at least through two games, the best team in the East.
- Rick Nash was good tonight and we saw what kind of offense he can create. The goal he scored seemed like a carbon copy of the ones in all the Nash highlight videos.
Team Notes:
– The Rangers were defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-3, tonight in their 2013 regular season home opener at Madison Square Garden.
– The Blueshirts out-hit the Penguins, 30-21, in the contest.
– The Rangers notched one power play goal in four attempts (6:00), while the Blueshirts tallied one shorthanded goal.
– Two Blueshirts notched a goal while making their Madison Square Garden debut in tonight's contest – Taylor Pyatt and Rick Nash. The last time the Rangers had two or more players tally a goal while making their MSG debut as a Blueshirt was Oct. 3, 2009 vs. Ottawa – Vinny Prospal, Michael Del Zotto and Marian Gaborik.
Player Notes:
– Rick Nash notched his first goal as a Ranger with a shorthanded tally, tied for the team-high with five shots on goal and tied for the game-high with four hits while making his Madison Square Garden debut as a Ranger. He has now tallied 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in nine career home openers.
– Taylor Pyatt registered his first point as a Blueshirt with an even strength goal at 6:04 of the third period, and was credited with three hits while making his Madison Square Garden debut as a Ranger.
– Ryan Callahan tallied a power play goal at 9:55 of the first period, and was credited with three hits and three blocked shots in 19:21 of ice time. He is now one point shy of his 200th career NHL point.
– Brad Richards recorded two assists, including one on the power play, won a game-high, 13-22 (59%) faceoffs, and led all forwards with 21:43 of ice time. He registered three points (one goal, two assists) in the Rangers' back-to-back set to begin the season, after tallying a goal yesterday at Boston. Richards has now registered 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 12 career home openers.
– Derek Stepan registered two assists in the contest, including the lone assist on Nash's shorthanded goal. He is now three points shy of his 100th career NHL point.
– Michael Del Zotto tallied one assist, registered three shots on goal and logged a team-high, 23:35 of ice time. He has now recorded four points (two goals, two assists) in four career home-opening games.
– Arron Asham was credited with two takeaways and assessed a fighting major while making his Rangers debut.
– Henrik Lundqvist (14-18, 29:11 TOI) and Martin Biron (19-20, 30:42 TOI) combined to stop 33 of 38 shots in net (one empty net goal).

M. Johanna Meehan
Professor of Philosophy
McCay-Casady Professor of Humanities
The chair was created in 1993 by a donation of Dale ('32) and Rose Casady ('34) McCay. McCay was Professor Emeritus of English at Iowa State University, where he taught from 1945 through 1974. The chair was previously held by Dennis Perri.
Professor Meehan joined the Grinnell College faculty in 1988 as Assistant Professor of Philosophy upon earning the Ph.D. from Boston University. She received tenure in 1997 and was promoted to full professor in 2006. In addition to teaching in the Philosophy Department, she is an active contributor to the Gender, Women's Studies, and Sexuality (GWSS) major.
Her scholarship is widely respected and significant in its scope. While still an assistant professor, she edited an influential collection of feminist essays on Jurgen Habermas. Since receiving tenure in 1997, she has been a regular and prolific presenter at conferences and has published over a dozen articles in some of the top journals in her field. She has developed a distinctive and widely appreciated voice within the Critical Theory tradition, and her writings have earned the respect not only of her peers but of the leading theorists within the tradition. Her work is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, gender theory, and trauma studies. This impressive productivity has taken place while she has been working steadily on an ongoing book project.
Professor Meehan actively brings the process and results of her scholarship into the classroom. She has taught the full range of Philosophy and GWSS courses, many of them focusing on issues in ethics: Ethical Theory; Contemporary Ethical Issues; Power, Privilege, and Oppression; and a GWS capstone course, A Few Good Women: Living the Ethical Life. She has also taught on the development of the self, and seminars on the topics of her scholarly research, Hannah Arendt and Jurgen Habermas. Her senior seminars are often crowded, a mark of how well regarded she is by students. Her departmental colleagues are quick to point out, however, that this is not because she is easy on her students. The opposite is the case: she urges her students to accomplish far more than they think they can. Students appreciate this, and many in her Tutorial and Introduction to Philosophy classes go on to major in philosophy. One key to her success is the immediate relation she has with her students: supportive yet demanding, expecting and getting the best they can give, and making herself accessible beyond even the norm at Grinnell College where expectations of faculty among students are high. As testimony to the respect in which Grinnell College students hold her, she has spoken at the mid-year commencement ceremony repeatedly, at the invitation of the graduating seniors.
Her service to the College and beyond is extensive and wide-ranging. She has served on most of the standing committees of the faculty. She has also served as chair of the Philosophy Department, on several search committees, and on numerous ad hoc committees and task forces. In 2002 she was a Nanjing Teaching Fellow in China. Beyond the College she has served in a number of roles in the philosophical community, including as President of the Iowa Philosophical Society and as an elected member of the Committee on the Status of Women of the Society for Phenomenology and Existentialist Philosophy.

(RNN) - As student loan borrowers are getting crushed under massive student debt, the federal government's student loan program is set to turn about $51 billion in profit, according to predictions from the Congressional Budget Office.
The Department of Education's profit total is more than what Exxon Mobil, the world's most profitable corporation, made last year, according to a comparison by the Huffington Post.
The energy giant posted $44.9 billion in 2012, which was just $300 million short of the all-time annual earnings for any company, which was achieved by Exxon Mobil in 2008.
The interest rate on federal student loans is set to double to 6.8 percent this summer, which is one of the reasons the government is set to enjoy big profits from student loans.
The national student loan debt between private and government loans has exceeded $1 trillion, making it the second-largest debt in the country. Only the mortgage loan debt is higher. However, government student loan debt is less flexible because borrowers are not allowed by law to default.
News of profits exceeding the world's richest corporations comes at a time when many are calling for lower interest rates or freezes on what borrowers have to pay.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been one of the most vocal proponents of lowering interest rates, and she has garnered much support for her plan to lower government student loan interest rates to the same rate that big banks borrow government money: 0.75 percent.
"Right now, a big bank can get a loan through the Federal Reserve discount window at a rate of about 0.75 percent. But this summer, a student who is trying to get a loan to go to college will pay almost 7 percent," Warren said in a speech she gave on the Senate floor recently.
She added: "In other words, the federal government's going to charge interest rates nine times higher than the rates they charge the biggest banks - the same banks that destroyed millions of jobs and nearly broke the economy. That isn't right."
An online petition in favor of Warren's plan to reduce government student loan interest rates to the same rate as big banks has garnered more than 250,000 signatures.
Despite the massive support for Warren's plan, others say it does little to address the student debt problem because it would only apply to new borrowers and last for one year, until a new solution is found.
"We're already in a $1 trillion student debt hole and today's graduates are entering a less-than-stellar job market with an average $26,000 worth of student loan debt. We bet they would appreciate a break on interest rates, too," Business Insider reporter Mandi Woodruff wrote.
Although student borrowers have been struggling to pay back loans, the Department of Education has made nearly $120 billion in profits over the past five fiscal years, Huffington Post reported.
