Athlete of the Week
Andrew Fera
Fera scored the first two goals of the game for Hendricken in the Hawks' 4-0 victory over Mount St. Charles at Adelard Arena on Saturday night. Fera now leads Division I in goals scored with six.
"I think we're doing really good," Fera said. "We lost a lot of players and we knew that, but we had to keep our heads up and keep rolling, just play our hardest. As the defending state champs, we've got to do that."

NASPA journals feature peer-reviewed research in student affairs, serving higher education communities worldwide through an unparalleled commitment to quality, scholarship, and the spirit of inquiry. Members receive complimentary electronic subscriptions to the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, NASPA Journal About Women in Higher Education, and Journal of College and Character.
In this retrospective account of their scholarly work over the past 45 years, Alexander and Helen Astin show how the struggle to achieve greater equity in American higher education is intimately connected to issues of character development, leadership, civic responsibility, and spirituality. While shedding some light on a variety of questions having to do with fairness and equity, this research has not succeeded in removing the structural barriers to progress among underrepresented groups. Accordingly, the authors advocate that colleges and universities focus greater attention on developing student values and other personal qualities that will produce a new generation of citizens who are committed to creating a more just and equitable society.
Though the number of women employed in the workforce has increased, there continues to be an inequity in employment of women in the highest ranks of community colleges. Guided by gendered organizational theory, the study looked at both overt and covert knowledge of genderedness at community colleges. As one might infer, institutional genderedness may reveal itself inconspicuously through detailed analysis of the culture of an institution. The purpose of the study was to determine if community colleges are gendered institutions based on the perceptions of women in non-faculty professional staff positions at these institutions. A mixed methods design was used to analyze the data collected from 934 participants. Community colleges appear to be gender-neutral environments with equal opportunities for both sexes. However, the perceptions of the women in the study indicated a marked disagreement about the practice of gender neutrality in the workplace, indicating that genderedness exists in these institutions.
Legislation and initiatives at the state and federal levels are challenging colleges and universities to review their approach to issues of sexual violence. This article addresses issues of compliance and beyond.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether first-year college students' strengths awareness is associated with their perceived leadership development. The institution in this study offered all first-year students the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment and strengths-related programming. The results of hierarchical regression analysis of two concurrent surveys (n = 779) suggested strengths awareness explained a significant amount of variance in students' perceived leadership development above and beyond the variance explained by other variables.
The vision of the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice (JSARP) is to publish the most rigorous, relevant, and well-respected research and practice making a difference in student affairs practice. JSARP especially encourages manuscripts that are unconventional in nature and that engage in methodological and epistemological extensions that transcend the boundaries of traditional research inquiries.Read More
NASPA Journal About Women in Higher Education (NJAWHE) focuses on issues affecting all women in higher education: students, student affairs staff, faculty, and other administrative groups. The journal is intended for both practitioners and researchers and includes articles that focus on empirical research, pedagogy, and administrative practice.Read More
Journal of College and Character is a professional journal that examines how colleges and universities influence the moral and civic learning and behavior of students. Published quarterly, the journal features scholarly articles and applied research on issues related to ethics, values, and character development in a higher education setting.Read More
Community College Journal of Research and Practice is the only two-year college journal that is international in scope and purpose. The journal is a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in higher education and the behavioral and social sciences. It promotes an increased awareness of community college issues by providing an exchange of ideas, research, and empirically tested educational innovations.Read More
Change is a magazine dealing with contemporary issues in higher education. It is intended to stimulate and inform reflective practitioners in colleges, universities, foundations, government, and elsewhere. Using a magazine format rather than that of an academic journal, Change spotlights trends; provides new insights and ideas; and analyzes the implications of educational programs, policies, and practices.Read More
The editors seek individuals with a strong interest in research and/or practice that focuses on the experiences of women in higher education. The journal publishes reports of empirical research, book reviews, and program descriptions that represent an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the experiences of and issues facing women in higher education settings.

Colleges and universities are under considerable pressure to preserve a positive image and reputation of the institution. Racial conflicts on campus often bring intense negative publicity, and too often the institutional response to campus racial conflicts is to resolve the conflict as quickly and quietly as possible. This response to racial conflicts often fails to address the needs of students and others on campus to engage in difficult dialogue and reflection about the roots of racism and how ingrained racial attitudes can affect personal beliefs and behaviors.
A recent incident involving the use of racial slurs by the SAE fraternity at the University of Oklahoma raises the question of whether fraternities belong on American college campuses. Racial attitudes in fraternities are examined in a forthcoming JCC article. Drawing on their research on fraternities, the authors offer some observations on the conversation topic:
This blog post is a preview of an exciting session at the upcoming NASPA Annual Convention in New Orleans. The session, titled "Navigating Student Activism and Advocacy with Courage," will be held on Tuesday morning, March 24 from 8:30 to 9:20am in the Hilton Grand Salon – Room 3. Three authors who have written articles for the Journal of College and Character on the related topics of student activism and advocacy will present their research.

ALBANY, N.Y. - A Buffalo assemblyman has split from the Democratic conference after a state ethics report showed Assembly leaders shielded sexual harassment allegations from public view.
Assemblyman Michael Kearns, D-Buffalo, will call on Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to step down from his post at a news conference Monday afternoon, according to Kearns' office. The lawmaker, who was elected in a special election last year, had been vocally critical of Silver during his campaign, but sat with Assembly Democrats despite initially winning on the Republican line.
Kearns becomes the first Democratic lawmaker to call for Silver's ouster since he was portrayed negatively in the Joint Commission on Public Ethics report last week.
Both JCOPE and Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan, in separate reports, faulted Silver for not referring initial harassment complaints against now-former Assemblyman Vito Lopez to the Assembly Ethics Committee and
In an interview with 2 On Your Side, Kearns said "Based on what I read in the J-COPE investigation I'm very disappointed and I do think he should resign. I think we need a change, we need people who are going to work from the ground up not the top down.
Until we have equal protection under the law, where everyone is treated the same way, even elected officials we're going to continue to have corruption in Albany."
Scott Brown: "Is it a fear of retribution that prevents people from speaking up?"
Assemblyman Kearns: "Absolutely. People are afraid of not getting things done. I think people are afraid of money getting cut from their school districts, bills not getting passed. It's high pressure. High pressure in Albany, high stakes but one thing we have to remember is what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong.
Late Monday afternoon, Silver held a news conference where he made three main points-
* He'll call for a new office of Independent Counsel to investigative all sexual harassment complaints and that Silver's office will have nothing to do with such complaints in the future.
* He wants to ban any and all confidential settlements in all parts of state government.
* Silver says he will not resign, and instead says he will remain as Speaker as long as he has the support of his Democratic colleagues.

Sandy live video: Hurricane, Superstorm Sandy closes major U.S. airports, grounds flights
Airlines around the world canceled flights to and from the northeast United States as a massive storm slammed into the coast of southern New Jersey late Monday.
Hurricane Sandy, now rated as a "post-tropical" superstorm, forced the closure of New York's JFK and LaGuardia airports and Newark in New Jersey "until further notice" as rising flood waters washed across parts of the city, while domestic and international flights were canceled at other major airports in the region.
Middle Eastern, European, Asian and U.S. airlines prepared to take a financial hit, with the weather stranding their passengers in cities across the globe.
"Every day this goes on you're seeing combined losses to the airlines of roughly $10 million," said Simon Calder, travel editor of the UK's The Independent newspaper.
"The cost is actually much worse for European airlines like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, because they have to pay for accommodation and meals for their customers who are stuck in the U.S. -- particularly in New York."
European Union law says airlines have a "duty of care" to take care of stranded passengers. There is no such law governing U.S. airlines.
"Delta and United can just say, 'Sorry, this is a weather event and you're not covered,'" Calder told CNN.
At least 50,000 travelers between the UK and U.S. have been affected by the storm, Calder estimates.
In Asia, airlines grounded more flights as the extent of the storm became clear. Australia's Qantas, Korean Airlines and Japan's JAL canceled all New York-bound flights on Tuesday and Cathay Pacific said Wednesday's departures to JFK would also be scrubbed.
With flights canceled to and from New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore, British Airways has offered to rebook flights for its passengers due to travel to the U.S. East Coast between now and October 31.
A statement on BA's website said: "We understand that customers may be disappointed, however their safety is our highest priority."
Britain's Virgin Atlantic also canceled all flights to New York, Boston and Washington, while London's Heathrow Airport is advising U.S.-bound passengers to check their flight status before traveling to the airport.
Karen Mackenzie from Essex, in southeastern England, was planning to fly Monday to New York on a Virgin holiday package, but the airline canceled her entire holiday due to the storm.
While Virgin Atlantic gave Mackenzie a full refund, the elementary school principal says her schedule means she won't be able to rebook the holiday until next year.
"I feel really horrible for those poor people in New York at the moment, waiting for the hurricane to hit. It's disappointing to lose our holiday, but for them it's a much more hideous situation," she told CNN.
Qatar Airways and the United Arab Emirates-based airlines Etihad and Emirates also canceled flights to the U.S. northeast. In a statement Emirates said the safety of their passengers "will not be compromised."
Air France, Germany's Lufthansa, Ireland's Aer Lingus and Turkish Airlines have also scrubbed flights in and out of New York .
Some 50 million people from Virginia to Massachusetts are expected to feel the effect of Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey late Monday.
The cost of potential wind damage alone could be up to $3 billion, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The storm has also prompted thousands of domestic cancellations across America.
While all American Airlines flights to the east coast are canceled, the airline is operating a normal service to other parts of the country.
United Airlines grounded roughly 3,700 flights between Sunday and Wednesday, and Delta said all flights from Washington to Boston, and out of New York and Philadelphia, were canceled.
Both companies are allowing some customers to change their flight plans without paying any fees due to the storm.
So how long will it take for airlines to get stranded passengers to their destinations once the hurricane subsides? Not long, according to CNN's Richard Quest, who said the problem should start being resolved from Wednesday.
Quest said: "All the airlines have exceptionally sophisticated recovery programs. What they do is they don't make the flight to the first place. They don't send the aircraft into the bad areas, so they don't get stranded. So they're now already starting to work out flights for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. You write off Monday and Tuesday, then you start to rebuild the schedule."
"After the [Icelandic volcanic] ash cloud two years ago, airlines were able to restore the schedule quite quickly, simply because people canceled their
flights [and didn't rebook]. And that's what the airlines are banking on.
"I'm guessing by the weekend everyone's got where they need to be."
Information from CNN Wires was used in this report.

Parting Out, Part Four: How to Sell Car Parts on eBay
In part one, we obtained a 1992 Lexus SC400 as a project-car suspension donor. In part two, we disassembled the car and extracted all the parts that might be worth selling. What was left at that point was a shell and lots of random bits, which meant it was time to pay a visit to the crusher and extract a few bucks from the leftovers.
Every car has some change under the seats and beneath the carpets. You'll typically find at least a few bucks when you eviscerate a parts car (my personal record was over $7). But it became apparent to us that the Lexus SC400 was designed so that change (and other small objects) wouldn't get lost, with a one-piece carpet assembly, a near-airtight fit of carpeting to the center console, and clever seatbelt mounts that minimize coin-swallowing gaps. The grand total for this car: $1.19. Still, that took the cash investment down to $998.81, and every little bit helps!

GARTH SNOW BLOWS OFF POINT BLANKCuts out this writer for daring to be critical at times
A grand total of three reporters were at the Coliseum for the trade deadline today: me, Katie Strang of Newsday and Dan Martin of the Post. An hour after the deadline had passed with no Islanders moves, only Katie and Dan were invited together to speak with Garth Snow in his office while I was kept in a holding cell.
This blog has praised and criticized the Islanders general manager over the last year. When a team has come in 26th and last in the NHL the last two years and currently ranks 26th, there's going to be some criticism.
Snow has done a pretty good job this year. He has acquired a few contributors at little cost, some prospects are developing well and the team is on the fringe of the playoff race with 19 games left to go. He did about all he could before today's deadline. The team has already tied last year's win total, but we were told to expect improvement with the upgrade from Joey McDonald and Yann Danis to Dwayne Roloson and Martin Biron in goal.
I didn't have much to ask Snow today, but would have listened for his take on his efforts as the trade deadline passed with no moves made. I would have liked to have shared them with the thousands of Islanders fans who pound this site every day.
In September, Point Blank – much to my amazement and sincere appreciation – reached a level that the New York Times wrote about it and AOL offered to support it. Thank you again, dear readers.
The Islanders recently asked me to promote a team charity event, and I was told Point Blank readers responded tremendously. Two-way street, I guess, unless someone dares to criticize. Awwww…Nevertheless, I'll always be willing to promote the team's charitable efforts.
Among the only questions I would ask Garth are this:
- What is your estimated timeline for the rebuilding project? A few young teams seem to have gotten a lot better a lot more quickly.
- If the team falls short this season, is 2010-11 the year you hope to get the seventh or eighth spot in the East? In other words, when does the team take a legitimate step up?
- You often say you have the money to spend. Can your fanbase expect that to be in 2010?
- It's understandable that you want to collect a few lottery picks, but is the time when you acquire an impact young veteran or two coming anytime soon?
- Are you 100% behind Scott Gordon?
Seems fair, especially when season ticket invoices for 2010-11 have already been distributed and first payments are due soon. He wouldn't have to answer the questions. In fact, the longer he doesn't the more he gets to alter his plan and be critic-proof (well, to most).
I also understand that it's never wise for a general manager to telegraph his every move. Still, questions should be asked. As you are all well aware, the Islanders have a lot of fans that care a great deal about this franchise. When they are asking for them to buy stuff, the Islanders talk about their fans being shareholders.
After today, of course, I will not request an audience with Garth. Contrary to what he may believe, an interview with him or any general manager is not a privilege for the writer. Far from it. An interview is simply a way to provide information to the readers – the team's consumers. Not being able to speak with Garth did not prevent this blog from properly setting the stage for today's trade deadline three weeks ago. Not being able to speak with Garth does not prevent me from being able to present fair judgments on the development of team prospects.
All I miss out on is presenting his quotes straight to you. Judging by what I read today, again I did not miss much.
There are plenty of other places for me to go for information, and plenty of stories, insights and actual facts (!) still to share. In fact, there is so much more to this story – but we'll pour the whine a little at a time.
Garth and I used to be pretty good friends. I believe he would tell you I was fairly helpful to him for a few years in his transition from goaltender to GM.
On a personal level, naturally it is very sad when you lose a friendship. But it happens and I was fully prepared for it. I remember telling him in one of our last conversations, "Sometimes life takes you in different directions."
Garth Snow is going to be the Islanders general manager for a long time, of that you can be very sure. You can also be sure that I will always wish him well.
Comments on this post only. Trade deadline conversation continues below. I'll be away on assignment for a few days, but I have a few pieces to write and will check in throughout.

Ringling Interior Design Students Win Prestigious Donghia Award
Ringling Interior Design Students Win Prestigious Donghia Award
September 18, 2008 - Two Ringling interior design students, Ashley Bright and Elizabeth Langford, both juniors at the time of the award, have each been awarded a $30,000 scholarship in the seventh annual Angelo Donghia Foundation Student Portfolio Competition.
Ringling College interior design students have participated in the Donghia Portfolio Competition and have won at least one award every year since the competition began in 2001. This year Ringling students not only won one of these esteemed awards, but marked the second time that two Ringling students have won awards in the same year.
Both Ashley and Elizabeth submitted projects for wellness care facilities for their commercial project as well as a residential project, using pieces that were designed for class assignments during the year.
Ashley Bright, Junior, ID
Ashley's project for the commercial space was for a Wellness Center called Nature's Cure that supports women and their families affected by cancer. It offers a positive healing environment inspired by the nature and the outdoors where elements from a butterfly garden and a garden path will lend to a relaxing, rejuvenating experience for patients. The design concept features soothing pastoral colors, designs simulating garden paths and botanical forms, and views to external gardens and natural light to create a comforting, peaceful environment where women and their loved ones can heal and grow.
Ashley's residential project space consists of a Napa Valley, California home for a middle aged couple to seek comfort in their retirement years. High on the couple's requirement list for the home, it was designed for entertaining in mind and has a space for their extensive wine collection. This home features both contemporary and traditional elements with a modern twist, reminding the couple of their years in the vineyard and bringing with it a sense of familiarity and comfort. The design of this space is inspired by a sunset over a vineyard, using greens, burnt oranges, purples, deep reds, and browns in the color palette and displaying as much natural light as possible.
Elizabeth Langford, Junior, ID
Elizabeth's project for commercial space for a Wellness Center is called A Woman's Place and offers a healing environment to inspire strength and endurance in the women affected by cancer. Elizabeth focuses on spring time as a guiding point for her design, centering on growth and renewal, healing and warmth. She uses Art Nouveau décor to create an energetic feeling in the modern space by using curves and curved pieces to represent femininity. The design also utilizes natural light by adding windows and garden views in almost every room of the Center.
Elizabeth's residential space was designed for a couple in their late 50's living in Los Angeles, California, with the goal of giving them an adaptable, glamorous, and comfortable living space. Elizabeth starts with the design concept of the Golden Age of Hollywood, a time known for its utopian attitude and design elements of tufts, curves, and whimsical pieces, and incorporates contemporary versions of pattern, color and form. She designed a comfortable home space with delineated spaces for entertaining, a must for the couple since they are active in the community and like to host gatherings and social events. Golden accents, bold patterns, and warm neutral tones bring a comfortable elegance to the home.
Congratulations to Ashley and Elizabeth on a job well done! And thank you to the Ringling ID Faculty and Community for your continued support.

NEWPORT – High flu activity continues nationwide according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). In Vermont, flu activity remains widespread with reports of high absenteeism among school age children in the Northeast Kingdom.
According to reports, three adults have died in Vermont from the flu this season so far and 14 adults have reportedly died in New Hampshire.
The last few years have seen mild flu seasons, but this year is different. The flu came on early and strong.
The good news is that, despite a critical nationwide shortage, North Country Hospital still has the flu vaccine.
People wishing to get a flu shot who don't have a primary care physician can call North Country Occupational Medicine Clinic at 334-4191. Visit www.cdc.gov/flu [2] or www.northcountryhospital.org [3] for more information.
"We're already seeing a lot of flu cases this year," said Jean Holcomb, infection prevention coordinator with North Country Hospital. "Flu season is off to an early start, which means it could be a long one," she said. "Each year, 36,000 people die of the flu in this country. Infants, older people, and those with compromised immune systems are most at risk."

New uses for an old Celestron tripod
Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:59 PM
I asked the seller the diameter of the top plate and he said it was 6.5 inches in diameter. I thought I would be able to adopt this to my application by drilling and tapping some new holes because I'm too cheap to buy a Rob Miller tripod and my 30-lb home-made wooden tripod is getting annoying to haul around.
The tripod has some existing through-holes and (tapped) blind holes in the base plate, which match to bosses on the back of the base:
The seller did say that the base plate was only 0.125" thick, so I thought I'd have to epoxy some aluminum backing plates or fender washers to the underside to strengthen the base around the new holes I'd drill.
To my great surprise.. these holes are an exact fit for my application (no drilling required!):
In fact the mount looks like it belongs on this piece of 1980s technology:

Best, Linda B.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 01:53 AM
the problem i see with the spreader is that the end-clamps are plastic. but heck it's lasted 25 years... and supposedly Celestron sold them underneath the C11.
That said, this one's not as solid as my 30-lb wood tripod. But I think its due to the crumbling 25-year-old rubber feet.

ISA Mitsubishi Youth National Championships 2011
Rachel Solon
posted on March 01, 2011 12:02
May Bank Holiday weekend (29 April – 02 May) over 300 sailors will compete in Dublin Bay in seven different classes (Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, 420, Feva, Topper, SL16 and Optimist). For youth sailors, this event is the most crucial in the annual calendar as it is the decider for the top Irish sailors to compete internationally during 2011 and is the pathway for future Olympic sailors.
Not only will the ISA Mitsubishi Youth Nationals over the May weekend be an important event for youth sailors it is also a major milestone for the organisers of the ISAF Youth Worlds 2012 as it offers them the opportunity to test drive the logistics of managing such a large event incorporating three clubs, three race courses and hundreds of volunteers.
'Dun Laoghaire has a proud reputation for hosting international events such as the biennial combined clubs Dun Laoghaire Regatta and numerous world championships. However in 2011 the ISA Mitsubishi Youth Nationals is of more significance as it gives us an opportunity to test our systems in advance of the ISAF Youth Worlds 2012.' stated Event Chairman Brian Craig.
Dun Laoghaire won the bid to host the ISAF Youth Worlds 2012 from 12-21 July when, in excess of 300 sailors and windsurfing champions from over 60 nations will participate. The granting of this prestigious sailing event to Ireland is a major boost to the sport and secures Ireland's position as an ideal location for hosting world class sailing events. It also establishes Dun Laoghaire as one of the prime major racing locations in the world, capable of running multiple classes and courses to the highest international standard.
'The ISA Mitsubishi Youth Nationals is a significant event on the racing calendar. It involves young sailors from all of the 'Olympic Pathway' classes, some of whom are competing for places on the team that will represent Ireland in the ISAF Youth Worlds later this year. The event building up to the 2012 ISAF Youth Worlds, will help to assert Ireland's growing reputation internationally as a venue for hosting international events.' commented ISA Chief Executive Harry Hermon.
Mitsubishi Motors have been a proud supporter of junior sailing in Ireland for the last 7 years. In recent years Ireland has had successes at youth level with winner of the girls Laser World Championships a top 10 at the 2010 ISAF Youth Worlds and wins at the British National Optimist Championships. Mitsubishi Motors have played an important role in these successes by sponsoring the Youth Nationals.
'Mitsubishi vehicles are often found in sailing surrounds towing boats of all shapes and sizes around the Country. As such, we have a great affinity with the sport and are particularly pleased to be able to support its development at grass roots level through our sponsorship of the ISA Youth Nationals' stated Frank A. Keane, Chairman, Mitsubishi Motors Ireland
Three hundred sailors from around the country are expected to compete for national youth and junior pathway titles and the Mitsubishi coaching grant during the event.

POTSDAM Theyre not as dear as diamonds, but theyre worth their weight in gold.
A donation in size never seen before, a collection of 14 old wooden crates full of carefully wrapped minerals and unique rocks was handed over to SUNY Potsdams Geology Department. The collection was discovered in the Norwood home of Laura Bishop Patterson, who died in 2011.
SUNY Potsdam Associate Professor Christopher R. Kelson said the collection had been sitting for some time, each stone wrapped in newspaper or other periodicals from 1904 and 1956.
Mr. Kelson said whoever collected the minerals had an eye for the good stuff and the wherewithal to label them.
In the world of geology it is really important to know what it is you had a sample of and where it comes from, he said. So for these samples to have labels on them about what they are and where they came from is really critical.
But who that person was is a mystery.
The donation of the collection came from Mrs. Pattersons stepson Jerry Patterson and his wife, Beth. Mr. Kelson said the couple deserves as many credit as the original collector, as the crates could have been easily discarded.
Beth Patterson said she and her husband discovered the collection while clearing out her deceased mother-in-laws home on Prospect Street in Norwood.
If you look at the dates of the papers that they were wrapped in, the dates are too old for my mother-in-law, who was born in 1927, she said.
Ruling out her mother-in-law as the collector, Mrs. Patterson said there was no one in the extended family who collected minerals or stones.
So we dont really have any clue, she said. For all we know maybe they were in that barn when she bought the house and never looked at what they were.
Mrs. Patterson, a teacher at Potsdam High School, contacted the earth sciences teacher at the school to see if the rocks would be of some use to the department.
So I brought one random crate in, not knowing that there was more, Mrs. Patterson said, and when we started cleaning up the barn in earnest, we just kept finding more and more and more. Some of them were labeled in these very efficient details, no dates on the labels but places where they have been identified so I thought, Gee what am I going to do these things?
On a whim, Mrs. Patterson reached out to SUNY Potsdam Geology Department Chairman Robert L. Badger.
It wasnt the kind of stuff you would sell mindlessly to someone, so I contacted Dr. Badger, Mrs. Patterson said. I just figured they would be of some use to someone, with all the educational institutions in the county.
Mr. Badger agreed. As he began unwrapping the collection, he knew the school was getting something very unique.
There are a bunch of things that we didnt have before that we found in this collection, Mr. Badger said. The purple rock that I was holding, purple scapolite, Ive seen before, but it was white. Ive never seen purple.
And therein lies the importance of the donation the educational value, Mr. Badger said.
The wider the range of minerals the school has for its collection, the better the education for the students.
If I had gone to schools that had purple scapolite, I would have heard of it before, but we didnt have that, Mr. Badger said. So it just gives our students a wider breadth of knowledge of samples to study
Were not looking at diamonds that are worth a lot of money, Mr. Badger added, but these are things that you might see a gem collector sell for a dollar or two.
There are several possible options for the collection including putting them on display in the Timerman Geology Museum in Timerman Hall on the SUNY Potsdam campus for the community to study.
However, the school will consider using the stones in its mineralogy teaching collections so that the students can get the hands-on experience needed for the field.
You cant teach any aspect of mineralogy just by textbook, Mr. Kelson said. By definition, this is a science where you are getting your hands dirty. So if you cant hold that in your hand, you arent going to get much use out of it.
Mr. Kelson has been at SUNY Potsdam since 2006 and Mr. Badger since 1989, and both men said this was the first time they had ever seen a donation of this size.
Funds are short, and there isnt enough money to go and buy minerals, Mr. Kelson said, so collections like this that are donated to the department for use are worth their weight in gold.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Michael Haymer grew up in Orange County, CA and was raised with 3 sisters and 1 brother by a strong single-mother. He learned to enjoy dancing in green tights to Mary Martin's Peter Pan and curling his mother's hair, but found that expressing these interests in a conservative atmosphere meant relentless homophobic bullying. Despite these challenges, Michael found that qualities others found aversive were the source of strength and courage he needed to come out. During this time, Michael became interested in medicine after watching his mother live without health insurance to treat several chronic, preventable diseases. As an undergraduate at UCLA, Michael experienced a period of homelessness, sleeping in his car or the library to complete his education. He used this experience to acknowledge student homelessness and as co-founder of Happy Feet Clinic, which he has continued as a medical student in the PRIME Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Prior to matriculating to medical school, Michael worked as a community educator for an international HIV vaccine trial and conducted vital public health research on the use of GPS-enabled mobile technology to improve community outreach methods for HIV/AIDS prevention. During his first year of medical school, Michael's mother passed away from complications of undertreated diabetes. Despite this incredible loss, Michael rebounded from the tragedy and his passion for serving the most under-resourced and vulnerable populations is a tribute to his mother. He is currently involved in research related to transgender healthcare and helped change UCLA Health System's policies and practices related to LGBT patient-centered care. Michael has also enhanced LGBT medical education at UCLA and directed the LGBT Health Student Symposium, which hosted over 100 students from across the country to learn about LGBTQ health and how to improve healthcare for the community. In recognition of his efforts, Michael received the campus-wide UCLA Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Award from Chancellor Gene Block and the UCLA Academic Senate.

By TIM FENSTER LAWRENCEVILLE - Lawrenceville volunteer firefighter John LaShomb Jr. doesnt know where their department would be without his father, Chief John LaShomb Sr.
From securing grant funding for new vehicles to personally repairing damaged fire equipment to organizing a parnership with neighboring fire departments, the list of what John LaShomb Sr. has done for the department just goes on and on.
In recognition of all hes done in 46 years of service with the Lawrenceville Fire Department, Chief John LaShomb Sr. was selected by the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs Association as the Fireman of the Year. The honor was announced at a ceremony Thursday evening at the Lawrenceville Fire Hall, and he will officially receive the award at a ceremony sometime in late March of early April, with the date of that ceremony to be determined.
Hes always inspired greatness in others. This place wouldnt be what it was without him, said John LaShomb Jr., who wrote the letter recommending his father as the Fireman of the Year.
Stephen J. Beatty, an emergency medical technician, described John LaShomb Sr. as someone who encourages everyone to do their part to help. He said there can be a lot of anxiety when responding to a call, and sometimes volunteers arent sure which actions are needed. But John LaShomb Sr. encourages everyone to do whatever they can that they think will help.
His number one rule is just you cant do anything wrong, Mr. Beatty said. He always allows someone to do something (to help respond to a call). He never yells.
Mr. Beatty noted that in addition to being fire chief John LaShomb Sr. is a trained emergency medical technician.
John LaShomb Sr. joined the Lawrenceville Fire Department as a volunteer in 1966 and has served as the departments chief for the past 24 years. In that time he helped establish a program that sends out alerts to all volunteers of the fire departments in Lawrenceville, North Lawrence and Nicholville. This has increased the number of first responders in Lawrenceville from 27 to approximately 80, Mr. Beatty said.
He also has written three large grants, totaling more than $500,000, which allowed the department to purchase a modern frontline engine and tanker truck. These new vehicles were used to replace a 1957-model engine and an old tanker that was converted from a milk-truck.
When asked how useful the new trucks have been to the department, John LaShomb Jr. said he couldnt put a value on that.
Before writing the grants, John LaShomb Sr. was known for repairing anything that went wrong with the trucks. He has a home shop nicknamed Johns Machine Shop, in which he manufactured spare or replacement parts that kept the aging engines running. Hes the handiest person I know, First Assistant Chief Richard LaBier Jr. said.
He taught me everything I know, Mr. LaBier added. He taught me how to be an assistant chief.
Recently John LaShomb Sr. took it on himself to drive to Syracuse to pick up new fire hoses for one the fire engines.
Theres nothing he wont do for the department, Mr. Beatty said.

My name is Allie and I'm currently doing a study on "Modern Religion", and I have an interest in the CFSM. If a few of you could take the time to answer a few questions for this study, it'd be greatly appreciated.
1. Why did you choose the CFSM?
2. Do you believe in an actual FSM? Or are you a part of this religion for another reason?
3. Are you a part of any other religions as well?
4. Is there anything you'd like the general masses to know about the FSM?
Thank you to whoever responds!
R'amen, everyone!

Favorite Bible Verse(s): Romans 15:13 (NIV)May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit: my favorite verse for every day life. It talks about the God of hope filling us with peace and joy as we trust in him. I love that!
I also love 2 Thessalonians 1:11: Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he's called you to be, pray that he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely...especially as it's worded in The Message paraphrase. It's my "This is how I want to live life" verse.

Listen to more books in The Wheel of Time series.
©1992 Robert Jordan; (P)1997 Books on Tape
"Jordan's multivolume epic continues to live up to its high ambitions. Complex plotting, an array of strong characters, lavish detail, and a panoramic scope make this series a feast for fantasy aficionados." (Library Journal)
"The fourth volume of the most ambitious American fantasy saga continues to suggest that The Wheel of Time will also be the finest." (Booklist)
"The BEST of the Wheel of Time"
Great development of Perrin and a decent amount of Mat, this novel stands out as the most emotional and most ecstatic novel in the series. This turn in the series is the most engaging and enjoyable. I have listened to it 4 times now and each time experience a tightening in my throat when...well better not spoil it. You will not regret this one!
Always on the look out for a great story that sweeps me into another world, time, or person. I hate being bored by literature.
"Best Book So Far"
Now totally addicted to the pattern that Jordan has woven, I have to admit this last installment was by far my favorite. YES, critics of Jordan are right in that he can describe every detail in the most mundane scenes...and YES, his characters are a bit one dimensional in their personas...BUT with a story this complex I have to admit I appreciate characters that I know won't change on me from chapter to chapter or book to book. What I think most critics miss is that this book is about the storyline and the pattern, not just about the characters that play within it.
This past week I learned that Jordon has died and that he didn't finish his last book in the series (and rumor has it the last installment is a mammoth!). I am committed to finishing this out and seeing Rand through as the Dragon reborn, finding out what Lord Perin Golden Eyes does, and discover what's up with Matt and his flair for luck and history. 4 books down, 8 more to go!

"Female Characters are too Evil"
I loved Reading and Kramer...
Unfortunately, this will be the last book for me. The story is great. The narration is beyond reproach. The female characters are so over the top evil that I cringed whenever the story line turned to them. I kept hoping they would die. They are manipulative, man-hating, controlling, lying, self-righteous hags. And those are the ones supposedly on the side of light. If they actually cared about anything except there own individual power and crushing every man they came in contact with, if they actually worked with the other people involved in the story the entire series would be shortened from 13 books to 3, it would make a nice trilogy. All they had to do was come out and say what they meant once, instead of hiding and lying about everything.
"lances say"
Through out the Wheel of Time different threads of each part continue to get more and more intriguing. The changes/challenges each character undergoe never fail to leave you wanting more.
I don't mind getting stuck in traffic...as long as I have an audio book playing.
"Slow and sometimes boring"
Repetitious. I wish the author would just get on and tell the story. Sometimes he picked up the pace and it was interesting. At other times he just retold what I had heard in the previous book. Pointless and boring. And the characters are mulishly stubborn and argumentative. .
Keep it going...stop retelling
Still do not like the voice of the female narrator - she makes the female characters sound shrewish and graceless...the author seems to think this equates to strength. They are mostly just plain unlikeable.
I have an ongoing love - hate relationship with this series. I will listen to the bitter end.
"Great series + Great narration = must read."
Great series + Great narration = must read
"Best in the series yet"
This series has been fantastic, and this book is the best so far. Can't wait to get the next one...
"Better than its predecessors"
I have been lukewarm at best about most of the series so far, as Jordan's penchant for exhaustive repetition is nothing short of maddening, but in this book he manages to drop it (along with the omnipresent adolescent angst that manages to overshadow every significant event by burying it under a mountain of triviality) long enough to achieve a few moments with some genuine emotional resonance. To avoid posting any spoilers, I will refrain from specifics, but the most poignant are the moments of history that Rand views, and they succeed where so many other efforts by Jordan fail because he--probably unintentionally--drops his usual writing devices and gets out of the way to simply narrate the events for us. The contrast between this part and most of the rest of the series is really amazing, and shows just how strongly we can feel the emotions of the moment without having to have it spelled out repeatedly for us both before and afterward. It's unfortunate that Jordan seems to trust the intelligence of his readers so little.
So kudos to the author for some really great moments in this book (there are one or two more, but I cannot describe them without giving things away). I wish there were more like them throughout the rest of the series.
"Excellent Book"
I believe this is one of the best in the series. I can't wait for the Fires of Heaven to come out. I really pray it is the unabridged version!
"Favorite characters got page time."
Only if they have read the previous books, but yes.
The rest of the books in the series.
Yes, they were great.
Wolves of sorrow.
In this book we have plenty of squaring off between our Two Rivers heroes and the Forsaken. I won't tell you who comes out on top, but it wasn't a sure thing either way. Nynaeve has some fears she has to face. Meanwhile, Perrin struggles against his blossoming wolfish nature; the Whitecloaks are on the hunt and Perrin is in there sights.
I liked a lot of things about this book, especially Perrin's inner struggle (though for a teensy bit there I felt it went on for too long). I think Perrin sees things in black and white sometimes; once he goes down a road, there is no turning back. But there is, or at least sideways. Once you pick up an axe to see to some business, doesn't mean that you can't put it down again. Through Perrin's ordeal, we learn a little bit about what the Two Rivers folks are made of and also the guiding principles of the Whitecloaks.
Min has more visions, and this time they concern the White Tower. I won't spoil anything for you, but it gets real and some of my favorite characters have to make some tough choices. Meanwhile, in other parts of the land, we see Rand becoming a leader not just of men but of nations. It's a big step for him and he does OK, and doesn't get his head handed to him.
There's plenty of Aiel time, and specifically time in the Aiel Waste. We really get to experience their culture, and for some, it is quite a shock. Of course, there are many funny scenes related to the culture shock. I was glad to see that Robert Jordan fleshed out this people.
Overall, the pacing was great, the plot moved forward, and my favorite characters got plenty of page time. I wanted the bad guys destroyed and I cheered the good guys towards victory. While there was some of that teen angst flirtatious/hate-you behavior that permeates the series, I was able to tune out during those parts and enjoy the rest.
The Narration: As always, Kate Reading and Michael Kramer did an excellent job. I quite enjoyed them and they seem to have gotten in sync on the pronunciation of a few names. There are so many, I don't know how they got them all down the same!
"Where do we go from Here?"
So Rand has taken Callandor. Forsaken are falling, and Lanfear has staked a claim on Lews Therin in his sheppard costume of this age. In book 3 we were introduced to Aiel, and suddenly they are a key component to Rand's victory at Tear and at what cost? Rand must find answers, and although Tear outlaws channeling and anything to do with channelling, oddly it is their store of angreal that provides answers (albeit cryptic for now), and Mat Cauthon starts to come into his own here too.
Had book 1's journey been written with such focus and intent as this book, it would easily have been five stars and a brilliant novel in its own right. The story is clearly, firmly lodged in Jordan's mind and one can't help but imagine him over a computer or typewriter furiously churning out this brilliant continuation as it develops in his mind.
This book answers such questions as Who is Rand? What do the Aiel have to do with anything? Who are the forsaken, really? What roles do Mat and Perrin play in Rand's journey? And on Kate Redding's side, Nynaeve al'Meara, Elaine Trakand, and Egwene al'Vere really start to develop as they head to Tanchico opening up the world to the reader from the Aiel waste in the east right across to the west, in search of the black sisters that Siuan Sanche set them to hunt.
Just for the history presented in this book alone as exposition makes it 5 stars! Brilliant in every way, and the beginning of the development of Mat as a battle leader is handled beautifully!
"Impeccable fantasy"
I wouldn't know as I have not read the print version. I do, however, recommend the audio version wholeheartedly as both Michael Kramer and Kate Reading's performances er stellar.
Perrin Aybara is slowly starting to become my favourite character as he handles most of his hardships in a cool and controlled manner.
I find the perfomance of both narrators to be top-notch quality. Perhaps because basically all of the books I've listened to have had these two as narrators, but they are, nevertheless, great narrators.
"A series finally finding its feet."
Though patchy in book one, this series rewards staying with it into later books. As the author finds his feet the story begins to come together and what started as an uninspiring mish-mash becomes an epic series with the feel of a good D&D campaign.
Not the unique masterwork Jordan was after but still well worth a read/listen.
Love the Wheel of Time. It's one of my favorite, scratch that, it is my favorite series. Rereading it for the second time.
"Well read, but Audible should reformat it."
My standard complaint: the book's 'chapters' are the CDs rather than the real ones in the text. When I want to jump to 'The Golden Crane', expect screams.
"Genius ... Loving this series"
Absolutely yes!!
Loving the characters & the journey.. Just when you think all is ok ... Bam!! Fight
Sometimes it's difficult to know what's going on as there are so many descriptions .. But it's does add the detail so only a small fault
The way of kings. There are a lot more characters which allow the readers to show their amazing talents. I love Michael Kramer's Loial interpretation
The boys inexperiences with women and how they continually embarrass themselves makes me laugh out loud..
Also the fights are so well written I feel emotionally there..
Truly is an epic adventure and I can't wait to continue
"A Fan!"
Love, love, love Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time epic! Audible is a great way to get to know such fabulous characters.
"Excellent, a compelling and addictive epic."
This is one of the best fantasy epics ever written, a series right up there with the work of J. R. R. Tolkien but be warned it is not one to be taken up lightly, this series is Huge!
The books have been kept together so one audio book will get you one book and many hours of happy listening.
Sadly Robert Jordan died in 2007 after publishing book 11, but with the help of Jordan's wife/editor Harriet McDougal, Brandon Sanderson has taken up the torch, using Jordan's plentiful notes he is finishing off the series brilliantly, with book 14 being the final volume.
The series is voiced by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading throughout and their performances are exemplary, their narration brings the world to life in a way that simply reading it never had for me, they bring a unique voice and feeling to each of the characters that brings them to life and firmly embeds them in your heart.
The only negative I have to put in is that the audiobooks chapter division bears no relation to where the chapters start and end in the books making the chapter search and snooze modes on the app all but useless.
All in all a five star read. An absolute must for any fantasy epic fan.
"Excellent with a few flaws"
Probably one of the stronger (if not strongest) books in the series so not surprisingly I really enjoyed the audiobook! The book had an excellent plot and moved at a brisk pace, a comment you could not level at many of the later books in the series. The reading was clear by both readers - having two readers was a good move. However, this showed the flaws when Michael had to read the part of the female characters and Kate the men! However a small quibble on what was a highly enjoyable listen. I have bought quite a few more of the audiobooks on the strenght of this book!
Done it! Listened while working through the whole 14 books. Not bad - not brilliant either. Too much describing of what are people wearing, limited dictionary of dialogues and male-female relationships/interactions painfully similar, predictable -boring (Mr Freud would find it certainly interesting though :)
Maybe because English isn't my first language, maybe I'm spoiled by other writers or maybe Robert Jordan just isn't my type of author but haven't I been working at the time of listening I would considered it time wasted.
