Former Watertown High School athlete Leo Canale was so talented that he excelled in three sports at Syracuse University and may have played professional football if World War II had not required his service.
Canale died Sunday. He was 93.
Canale first drew notice as a halfback on the vaunted late 1930s Cyclones teams led by legendary coach William Graf. The Cyclones made two trips to Florida in 1936 and 1937 and Canale shined in the games, particularly against Clearwater High School in 1937.
Watertown won the game 48-0 and Canale scored three touchdowns. Lowell Drake, the head coach of Academy High School in Erie, Pa., was among the spectators and told former Times sports editor Jack Case, I never saw a kid run any better than Canale.
University of Florida coach Josh Cody echoed: I have seen a lot of good high school backs, but none of them have any more than Canale.
But Canale also won notice in basketball, leading the Cyclones in scoring for two seasons. He helped lead WHS to the Section 3 title in 1938.
Canale moved on to Syracuse University. He started on the freshman squad, then played varsity for three seasons. As a sophomore, he scored the winning touchdown against Colgate.
He played varsity basketball and tennis for Syracuse, too. Canale was the top player on the Oranges tennis team for two seasons and captained the squad.
Canale also won a number of local tennis tournaments and was city champion for several years. He won Northern New York mens singles champion honors twice. He even won the Northern New York breaststroke swimming championship.
Canale nearly joined his cousin Rocco Canale, in the National Football League. Leo signed with Roccos team, the Philadelphia Eagles, but World War II called. Canale was a sergeant in the Army during the war and took part in fighting in France, Belgium, Holland Germany. While serving with a tank destroyer unit in France, Canale was wounded and was returned to a military hospital in England.
After the war, Canale became a coach and athletic director at Gouverneur Central School and worked in the district for many years. He retired in 1976. He was recognized by Gouverneur as a member of the schools first Wall of Fame class in 2011.
Canale was also recreational director in Gouverneur.
Canale died at his home in Sackets Harbor under the care of Hospice of Jefferson County and his caregivers.

Vote: This week's MetsBlog Fan Confidence Rating
The MetsBlog Fan Confidence Rating dropped last week for the first time since January, from which it was up roughly 200 percent.
Vinny Cartiglia: I wonder if people voted with heart in hand and panicked last Monday, which is when the poll was posted, following a tough series sweep by the Reds. Why? Because in conversations with other fans, including the casual fans that enter my barbershop on a daily basis, I am getting a different vibe and one that is more consistent with the polls prior to last week. I have found that since Johan Santana's no-hitter, the casual fan has started paying more attention to the Mets, realizing that something special may be happening in Queens and they don't want to miss out. And so, it will be very interesting to see the results to this week's poll, which unfortunately comes following a very uninspiring loss to the Cubs last night.

Ogdensburgs Department of Public Works wants to install an outdoor drying bed for solid waste collected by its vacuum truck.
The City Council on Monday tabled a resolution to hire Bishop General Construction, Ogdensburg, to build an open, low-walled concrete enclosure on the grounds of the waste treatment plant on Railroad Street.
The lawmakers agreed with Deputy Mayor Michael D. Morleys suggestion to see whether the department could do the job for less than the contractors $46,200 low bid.
Timothy P. Adams, the plants chief operator, said the drying bed would be convenient because it would provide more space for the solids to separate from liquid wastes and time to dry before being removed to an underground sanitary sewer line that runs into the plant where it is treated.
Drying time, according to Mr. Adams, isnt necessarily a long one.
It depends on the weather, he said. It shouldnt take more than a few days.
The other contractors and their bids were: T.J. Fiacco Construction, Norwood, $47,770; E.J. Construction Group, Liverpool, $49,900; Murnane Building Construction, Plattsburgh, $59,800; Harvey Excavation, Chase Mills, $68,990; B-S Industrial Construction, Gouverneur, $72,500; Con-Tech Building Systems, Gouverneur, $74,329; Tuscarora Construction, Pulaski, $94,958; and Bette & Cring, Watertown, $99,200.

OverviewThe Ph.D. program in strategic management provides course work in the base theories in strategic management. The field of strategic management studies big picture issues facing managers of firms, such as deciding what markets and industries to enter, how to enter and exit various markets, how to position the firm in the market in order to gain competitive advantage, and the timing, sequencing, and orchestration of competitive initiatives. Topics in strategic management include: Competitive strategy, resource allocation and corporate strategy, strategic decision processes, international and emerging market strategies, knowledge and innovation management, strategic entrepreneurship, corporate governance, and environment and non-market strategies. The main goal of the strategic management doctoral program is to train students to do high-quality research in any of these areas and to prepare them for careers as main stream professors of strategic management at top academic research institutions. To achieve this goal, Ph.D. students are required to take courses in strategic management, research methods and statistics, as well as possible disciplinary elective courses in economics, psychology and political science, and to write research papers examining important and relevant issues in strategic management.
RequirementsIn addition to the requirements described in Chapters 1 and 6 of this guide, doctoral students who have chosen strategic management as their area must satisfy the following requirements for a Ph.D. degree. Course, Research Work and Dissertation Advisor 1. The student's course work must be approved by the area faculty advisor. 2. During the student's first two years, he or she must take a minimum of 12 hours of approved graduate level courses per semester. 3. Course work includes a combination of required and elective courses. The required courses are listed in the attached course sample sequence. 4. The student is expected to attend all research seminars organized in the strategic management area during the student's tenure in the Ph.D. program. Moreover, during the second and third years, the student must formally register for the strategic management research seminars and attend presentations of SE faculty as well as those of faculty members from other business schools who visit the SE area to present their research. 5. Students are expected to be fully engaged in research during the Ph.D. program, especially during all the summers, including the summer after the first year of their residency in the Ph.D. program. 6. Students must have a Jones School SE faculty member who has agreed to serve as their dissertation advisor by the end of the spring semester of their third year in the program. 7. From the second year onwards, students are required to give at least one research presentation every year in front of faculty and other doctoral students. Such presentations should demonstrate that the student is making adequate progress in his/her research. The presentation requirement may be fulfilled in the fall of the second and third years by presenting the required papers. It is the student's responsibility to schedule this yearly presentation, together with his/her advisor and/or the strategic management area advisor. Exam RequirementsStudents must successfully pass a comprehensive exam administered by the SE faculty at the end of the second year. The exam will be administered and graded by SE faculty, under the supervision of the strategic management area advisor or special committee set up for this purpose. The exam will include two parts. Part I is focused on the coursework taken in strategic management and also measures the student's knowledge of the area as a whole. Part II will focus on research methods and design. A successful performance in the exam will demonstrate the student's competency in strategic management and provide the foundation from which he or she begins the research that will form the basis of the dissertation. First- and Second-Year Paper RequirementsStudents are required to write one major paper in each of their first two years, either sole-authored or coauthored with a mentor or colleague. The first year paper is proposed in the spring semester of the first year and completed by the end of the fall semester of the second year. The second year paper is proposed in the spring semester of the second year and completed by the end of the fall semester of the third year. The bulk of the work on these papers in intended to be done in the summers. The papers are intended as (1) a developmental vehicle for the student (especially the first year paper) (2) that will result in publications in top quality journals (although credit is not dependent on publication). The student is expected to take the lead on the second year project (in the manner of a lead author) and should individually decide (perhaps in collaboration with an SE area faculty member) on what topic the student will work. Each paper must be approved by two tenure-track SE faculty members (one is typically the student's adviser). The student is expected to present the papers in a faculty workshop by the end of the following fall semester. Failure to complete the First- and Second-Year Paper Requirements, as outlined above, will mean that the student is not making satisfactory academic progress in the Ph.D. Program. See Appendix B for research paper approval and evaluation forms.
Sample Course Sequence The course curriculum is designed around a challenging course of study in both the theory of strategic management and in cutting edge empirical work. We provide three sample course sequences: Strategic Leadership, Competitive Strategy, and International Strategy. Each of the sample course sequences below is oriented to a particular discipline, but students might choose different courses across disciplines to structure a specific degree plan. Doctoral students may continue taking courses beyond their second year.

(May 05, 2010) On April 24, 2010, the State Council of China published a decision amending the Implementation Measures of the People's Republic of China Law on Entry and Exit of Aliens (hereinafter "Measures"), which lifted the ban in the old Measures on aliens with HIV/AIDS or leprosy from entering China. (Text of the amendment and the updated Measures [in Chinese], Central People's Government official website, Apr. 27, 2010, available at http://www.gov.cn/zwgk/2010-04/27/content_1593708.htm.)
The Measures were first approved by the State Council in 1986 and were amended in 1994. Under the old Measures, "an alien suffering from mental disorder, leprosy, AIDS, venereal diseases, contagious tuberculosis, or other infectious diseases" is not allowed to enter China. The new Measures amended this section only, removing the ban on aliens with HIV/AIDS or leprosy, but still prohibiting those with "serious mental disorder, infectious pulmonary tuberculosis, or other infectious diseases which may endanger the public health in a major way" from entering China. Commentators noted that although the new rule lifted the explicit ban on aliens with HIV/AIDS, it may leaves government authorities "some leeway on how to apply the rule," since "[t]he amended rule did not say whether AIDS/HIV would be among the infectious diseases that people seeking Chinese visas must declare when applying." (China Ends Entry Ban for Foreigners with HIV/AIDS, REUTERS, Apr. 27, 2010, available at http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE63R09X20100428.)
The amendment took effect upon its publication on April 24, 2010.

The Live Wire
The Live Wire is a fast-paced, action-filled blog filled with the collection of a now fairly known user's thoughts on events as they happen. The updates were intended to be short and sweet, though that was never really adhered to on a consistent basis. The content covered ranges wildly, from the latest and greatest to the criminally unknown, from opinions some may find disagreeable to irresistibility of varying qualifications. You may be entertained. You may be offended. You may be enlightened. You may even be disgusted. Is it a simple idea spiraled out of control? Perhaps. But it's all part of the ride.

Re: The Beret
Chaplain, if the black beret is too hot in the sun, go earn your maroon.
Not that it really helps that much.
Re: The Beret
On a more serious note, for this completely long and drawn-out thread - I will add my commentary; there was a time when the beret stood for something - and its care was a symbol of the pride the soldier had in him/herself as well the uniform that they wore.
Now, like fast food, everyone wants a pre-shaped ready to wear with little or no effort uniform. Perhaps this is at the core of the problems faced by today's military and the standards that are not being set, enforced, and maintained. Yes many of the problems of the Army could be solved simply by looking at the uniform we have now, its functionality, and how it is maintained by the individual soldier.
In the past a beret was earned by achieving something and being assigned to a unit that reflected that achievenment. Not the case today. The beret and jump boots had to be prepared for use, shaped and polished (actualy Spit-Shined) to a high reflective gloss... The time and effort taken for these simple but very time consuming things made a soldiers accomplishments and unit standing, stand-out against the crowd, and the pride of that soldier and his/her position in a unit that embraced those accomplishments was second to none.
Personnally, I refuse to wear Sta-Bright, everything I wear is stripped and polished to a bright shine, it takes effort - and is worth every second of it. My Jump Boots are all wax and water until they can reflect my steely-eyed stare at them from a standing position. And the beret, which for me is Maroon in color, for the Airborne, is shaped and shaved and re-shaped until it is able to be worn to standard without any possible hint of it being just a hat or balloon on my head.
Gen Shinseki (RET) wanted everyone in the Army to have a beret... perhaps in truth the Army was not ready for a beret and the symbol of excellance that it denotes. There are still three colors that stand out from the crowd, and each has to be earned, two of which harder than the first - all of which can be taken away if the standards aren't met. Except the black beret... which currently is the consolation prize when once it was the symbol of the 75th.
Yes I have an opinion on this... and it is still strong... Never look for the easy way for anything, or you will end up asking, "do you want fries with that?" Make the beret, no matter what color you wear, a symbol of the high standards it takes to wear such a device. It was an honor to wear it in the past, it should be an honor to wear it now... If you do not like it, then write your congressman/woman and request that you wear the old "Garrison Caps", and that it remain the headgear for "everyone else"Last edited by LRSU_Dog; February 8th, 2011, 02:19 AM.
Re: The Beret
I have both a "pre shaped" beret and the standard issue wool blanket beret. The stard issue one that took ALOT of time to shave and shape does look better than my pre shaped. Its holds its form on my head far better than the former. I don't really miss the black leather boots to be honest.
And I agree that the beret given to everyone is weak sauce. Gen Shinseki gave everyone in the Army the black beret in part to spite the 75th Regiment.
Re: The Beret
When I was at Ft. Hood, in the mid-80's, we had a couple of NCOs who were still in their ODs. They absolutely h*a*t*e*d switching to BDUs. The one constant in the Army, through all the years, is a dislike of change. That said, I recently saw a SFC I recognized as a recruiter, on the side of the road talking to a cop, in his ACUs, no head gear and his hands in his pockets. I was stunned! He looked like a total ragbag.
My wife and I have talked about the new (to us) uniforms. She remembers me spit shining (with alcohol and a zippo) my boots while we watched TV not to mention the weekly expenditure of having my BDUs pressed (double starch) each week at the Korean cleaners just off post. I also remember soaking my cap, dousing it in spray starch, then molding and baking it over a 100 watt bulb. Scorched the bejeesus out of more than one that way – but it was sharp. I really want back in uniform, but I gotta say, BDUs were much sharper.
On a side note, my wife was at a luncheon a few months back. She was seated at a table between an active duty Brigadier and a retired Admiral. To the General she says (and I am not lying) "Don't you think the new BDUs are terrible? They just look so sloppy." He stared at her for a second, and then busted up laughing. He agreed with her and asked how long she'd been a dependant (between me and her father, 26 out of 41 years). She then turned to the admiral, told him that we're now Navy family and active members of the Navy League to support our son (who's a squid) but it's ok because (once again, not lying) "He's so adorable in his little sailor suit." He laughed too, and said "You mean his Uniform?" "Sure", she says with a smile, "it's just when I think of uniform, I always think of BDUs or Army greens." And THAT is why I love her.

text: What kind of help do you need? (Example:"Panda AdminSecure", "2093 error") Tweet How to configure High Availability in Gateway Mode in Panda GateDefender eSeries Information applies to: Products Panda GateDefender Integra eSeriesPanda GateDefender Performa eSeriesThis how-to describes the correct way to connect two Panda GateDefender eSeries appliances in Gateway mode to work in High Availability.PreliminariesFor this scenario, the necessary hardware is:Two Panda GateDefender eSeries appliances with the same hardware, running the same software version and connected in the same way.Two switches.Appliances Set upSomething important to take into account when deploying high availability is that you must provide a duplication method for each and every connection to the Panda appliance. Every connection the primary unit has (WAN, LAN, etc.) must be replicated across the standby unit to ensure complete replication capabilities exist.Therefore, in the following example, both Panda GateDefender eSeries appliances should connect their GREEN Gateway uplink's network interface to the same switch and their GREEN zone local network interface to the other switch, meaning that you will assign two physical interfaces to the same GREEN zone on each machine. (See the image above).To get started simply assign different IP's to both or more GateDefender eSeries; at the end, the master's IP will remain as the management IP.There is no need to duplicate the configuration on both machines. After High Availability is setup, configuration will be automatically synched with the slave machine.High Availabiliy Master UnitFirst, under Services > High Availability, configure the High Availability settings on the primary HA unit. Set this device to run as Master and, then, fill out the fields, notifications included, to be informed when there is a HA failure.The Spanning Tree Protocol Bridge Priority option defines which node is root bridge. Smaller values mean higher priority and it will be calculated automatically, if it is left empty (recommended).In case you are using managed switches with STP capability and, depending on which device you want to be the root bridge in the network, this configuration might need to be tuned up.Click Save and Apply to continue.High Availabiliy Slave UnitNext, configure the HA settings on the slave HA unit. Set this side as Slave, add the Master IP address previously configured and provide the root (SSH) password for the HA primary unit.Click Save and Apply to continue.High Availability verificationOnce the service is configured correctly and the change applied, an entry in the Current slaves list on the master unit should be displayed.Panda GateDefender eSeries HA Management GUI Now that Panda GateDefender eSeries High Availability is successfully setup, any change made on the Master unit will be automatically synched to the slave unit, except package updates or device backups (these have to be performed manually on the slave unit).As a result, the slave unit will become inaccessible on its previous (GREEN) IP address and it will only be reachable on its new Management IP instead.The dashboard of the slave unit can be accessed by clicking Go to Management GUI. It will show a web interface that you can access to check the status of the device or perform basic manual functions.Panda GateDefender eSeries uses a special management network for the communication between the HA nodes, in this example: 192.168.177.0/24. This network is usually not reachable from outside the local network, making it impossible to access the GUI of the slave sides in HA under those circumstances. The master side, however, can always be reached by using the IP address associated to its gateway GREEN network interface.If required, to reach the slave side from outside the local network, it is necessary to add a static route to forward the traffic to network 192.168.177.0/24 through your Panda GateDefender eSeries GREEN zone Interface IP, on your network third-party gateway device/router.Help nº- 20140129 41817 EN Help us improve our service by letting us know your opinion.

Women's Soccer Just Misses Against Marquette, 2-1, in BIG EAST Opener
OMAHA, Neb. - The Bluejays' women's soccer team dropped a tough 2-1 decision in their BIG EAST opener to conference favorite, Marquette, on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Down 1-0 as the half drew towards a close, Creighton created a corner and freshman Emily Roll made the most of the opportunity with a 'Bend it Like Beckham' moment. Roll sent the corner in from the right side at to the back post untouched for the tying goal at 43:31. It was Roll's first goal of the season, sending the match to the break at 1-1.
The Jays showed flash of energy in the opening five minutes of the second period, but the Golden Eagles responded with the tenacity you'd expect from the four-time defending BIG EAST Champion by regaining control.
Marquette continued to impose its will, outshooting the Bluejays 17-2 in the second period, finally breaking through for to reclaim the lead at 2-1 in the 57th minute on a goal from Omaha native Liz Bartles at 56:59. Bartles' goal was via a centering pass from Vanessa Legault-Cordisco.

Shafer and Syracuse defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough are also second generation football coaches. Perles brings 23 years of collegiate and professional coaching experience to the Orange.
Perles joins the Orange after working with the Kansas City Chiefs for three seasons, including two as the assistant offensive line coach and one as a defensive quality control coach and assistant linebackers coach.
Im pleased to add Pat Perles to our staff as our offensive line coach, Shafer said. I have followed Pats career for years and have been thoroughly impressed with the way his kids play for him. He brings a high degree of toughness and attitude as an offensive line coach.
During his six years as a coach at North Dakota State, Perles was the offensive coordinator (2005-08), run game coordinator (2004) and offensive line coach (2003).

Buzz: Teams Have Been Calling About Dan Boyle
10:36AM: At CBC, Elliotte Friedman writes that Dan Boyle has lost his full no-trade protection and that with limited protection, teams have started to call about him.
Of Boyle, Friedman writes, "At 36, can still carry the puck, run a powerplay and has some of the best head-fakes in the NHL. (Only offensive concern: has trouble getting his shot through.) "
Last season in San Jose, Boyle had 9 goals and 39 assists, 17 PP points and played 25:34.
In 2010-11, Boyle had 50 points, 27 PP points and logged 26:14 per game.
Boyle, a right handed shot, has two more years left on his deal at $6.66 million.
San Jose has Boyle, Brent Burns, Brad Stuart, Marc Eduard Vlasic, Douglas Murray, Jason Demers and Justin Braun signed.
There were rumors yesterday saying that a Boyle for Marian Gaborik trade was "close."
Adam Rotter: You can bet that the Rangers were one of the teams calling on Boyle since he is exactly what they are looking for. He is a right handed defenseman who can play big minutes with Marc Staal and run the power play. If the cost is Marian Gaborik then it's a non-starter but I think this is someone the Rangers will continue to try negotiate for. Boyle is a key guy for SJ and their ice time leader the last few seasons, so he won"t be cheap.
11:29AM: Again, I think that the Rangers called up the Sharks and asked about Boyle. The Sharks, who are looking for scoring, probably asked about Marian Gaborik and that is where you get the rumor from.

A Series of Escalating Crises in the Kivus
The overlapping conflicts that have plagued eastern DRC for decades have intensified to a level not seen in years, with profound implications for public health and MSF's work in the region.
DRC 2012 © Sven Torfinn/MSF
One afternoon not long ago, MSF surgeon David Lauter, a native of Washington State, received a patient in the hospital where he's now working in Rutshuru, in Democratic Republic of Congo's long-troubled North Kivu province. The patient, he wrote in a recent blog entry, had been shot and "had two holes in his upper leg. His smaller hole was the size of a US quarter, coming in the back of the leg at the mid hamstring and his larger hole was the size of my fi st, coming out in the front just above his knee a bit to the outside."
Years ago, back home, he'd treated people who'd been shot with handguns, but this injury was clearly caused by a weapon of a different order—a military-style assault rifle that was bigger and capable of both firing bullets at much greater velocity and causing much more damage. "Compared to gunshot wounds at home," he wrote, "the ones in Rutshuru come with bigger holes and more tissue destruction."
One wishes this type of injury were as uncommon in eastern DRC as it's been in Lauter's experience. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Horrific gunfire injuries happen all too frequently in North Kivu—one day last November, MSF's project in Masisi received 22 gunshot victims in a single four-hour stretch—and in neighboring South Kivu, too, and they take a deadly toll. Still, the wounds they inflict are just one of several nightmarish hallmarks of fighting that has been so pervasive over the past two decades as to become, astonishingly, almost routine.
Though it often disappears from the headlines for long stretches of time, the crisis in eastern DRC ruthlessly persists. Taking advantage of a weak central government that's been unable to establish rule of law and various influences from outside the country—including other governments in the region—a revolving cast of armed militias have waged seemingly constant battles against the country's armed forces and each other, leading to the deaths of millions and frequently forcing whole segments of the population to flee in fear. Civilians have been targeted and women have been raped in terrifying numbers. Peacekeeping efforts have proven ineffectual, development efforts have faltered, and the delivery of medical care has become exceedingly difficult.
In recent months, the violence in some areas has returned to levels not seen in years. Take North Kivu: "Over the past nine months, from July 2012 through March 2013, North Kivu has endured four deadly conflicts that have killed hundreds, wounded hundreds more, and displaced large segments of the population," says Thierry Goff eau, one of MSF's heads of mission in eastern DRC. "In July, Rutshuru was taken by M23 [a militia composed of fighters who were briefly integrated into and then left the country's armed forces]; in November, Goma [North Kivu's provincial capital] was taken by M23; in February, an ethnic militia fought the national army in Kitchanga, and in March, internal factions of M23 clashed with each other in Rutshuru." Though M23 features heavily in these recent events, it is one of many armed groups fighting in the region, some of which are becoming increasingly identified with one ethnic group or another.
Goffeau makes a point of noting that "the Congolese are incredibly resilient. They never resign. It's a matter of survival." At the same time, though, the cumulative impact of many years lived under the gun is evident, he says. "Children don't go to school, soil is not cultivated, houses are abandoned, access to health care is reduced, exposure to violence is high. Long-term consequences on health, mental, education, and overall wellness are inevitable."
The common trope about DRC is that it is an incredibly poor but resource-rich country, a place suffused with valuable minerals that is nonetheless severely lacking in roads, infrastructure, education, and opportunities that don't involve picking up a gun. All this contributes to catastrophic health indicators around child and maternal mortality, particularly in the embattled Kivus.
Given the vast array of needs in the country—which go far beyond conflict to include endemic diseases and outbreaks, maternal care, and, often, basic primary and secondary care—MSF's operations in DRC are its largest and most resource intensive anywhere in the world, and they have been for most of the past decade. In 2011, MSF had almost 3,000 people working in DRC. In 2012, in the Kivus alone, MSF worked along with the Ministry of Health in eleven different hospitals—offering services ranging from surgery to pediatrics to mental health care—and ran forty health centers, nine health posts, and four reference centers. Teams also run mobile clinics and respond to emergencies ranging from outbreaks of diseases like cholera or measles to the manifold medical needs that arise when large groups are forced to seek shelter in crowded, under-resourced, and at times dangerous displacement camps.
The rampant insecurity has affected MSF personnel. Staff have been robbed, projects looted, mobile clinics suspended or proscribed. Additionally, members of the national staff , who make up the vast majority of MSF's workforce in the country at any given time, have at times been forced to flee with their families when their homes have come under threat. During the fierce battles that broke out in Kitchanga in late February, for instance, "it was simply impossible for our team to leave base as the intensity of the fighting would not allow anyone to move around and reach the hospitals," says Hugues Robert, another MSF head of mission in eastern DRC. "One hospital was also damaged by a mortar shell. Most of the wounded were taken to two medical facilities and to the UN's peacekeeping base by relatives." National staff members had to flee as well, he notes, adding that many of them "wound up spontaneously providing medical care to the wounded" in the locations where they found temporary sanctuary.
It is, to state the obvious, an extremely complex and difficult environment in which to work, and it requires balancing an understanding of what's needed on the ground, medically speaking, with an understanding of ever-evolving security dynamics that can change very rapidly. "There's a constant tension among the population," says Robert, reached on the phone when he was in Mweso in mid- April. "Last weekend, there were a lot of rumors going around, for example, so people started to question whether they should stay and protect family members or move them somewhere else, to a safe place. No one feels secure."
The atmosphere makes it necessary for MSF to maintain constant communication between and among teams in different projects, as well as with the leaders of the various armed groups in the area. MSF labors intensively to explain its purpose and approach— particularly its independence and impartiality—to the various groups, asking that they respect the sanctity of medical facilities and permit teams to cross front lines when necessary. According to Renaud Sander, an MSF project coordinator for the Masisi territory, "it takes constant eff ort to get acceptance from all the armed groups. Our identity as MSF makes a difference, and time after time, we stayed and continued providing care during the fighting, which helped us earn respect from the different actors."
Though it doesn't provide absolute protection, this has proven crucial to MSF's eff orts in the Kivus, making it possible to accomplish a great deal under extremely trying circumstances. In 2012, for instance, MSF conducted more than 15,000 surgical interventions and admitted more than 70,000 patients across its dozens of hospitals, health posts, and mobile clinics. Teams also delivered more than 36,000 babies and vaccinated more than 2.5 million children for measles.
There's no understating the difficulties the people of the Kivus face, but even amid the worsening violence of the past year, MSF is not cutting back its efforts. On the contrary, while continuing to monitor the dynamics between the armed groups and preparing for fighting that seems almost certain to occur in the future, MSF is conducting exploratory missions into parts of the Kivus in which it's not currently working, trying to see if it can address even more of the needs that exist on the ground.
Behind all the strife are decades of colonization, dictatorship, exploitation, and corruption. The fighting of recent years has sown discord even further into the soil. "My perception is that 20 years of this violence has severely damaged a lot of communities," says Robert. "The younger population, they don't have much hope. One group appears after another to keep the fighting going. There are many issues behind it all—land issues, control over resources, political issues that involve local, regional, and even international dynamics. It's hard to see an end to it."
Addressing all the factors at play in this conflict—or rather, these conflicts—will take many years, if not generations, but that's not MSF's goal in DRC (or anywhere). MSF's efforts are designed to maintain that balance between what is possible and what can be done safely, and to off er care to people who otherwise would go without, treating the gunshot victims that David Lauter tended to in Rutshuru, assisting births, tending to children with malaria, and caring for victims of sexual violence, all in hopes that they will survive the troubles of the day and be present should better days come.

The Elegance of the Hedgehogby Muriel Barbery
Staff Pick
The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a study in the dichotomy of the hidden inner self versus outer perceptions. Paloma and René are each careful to build a facade that hides their true nature from the world. Until a new tenant moves into their building, this plan has worked well — but no longer. What happens when you meet someone who can see who you really are? Littered with dozens of literary, art, and music references, this quiet novel is a treat for lovers of culture. Beautifully written, poignant, and so very bittersweet.
"Renee and Paloma are brought together by their mutual fascination with the building's new tenant, Kakuro Ozu, who sees through their carefully constructed identities — which he does simply by refusing to believe that a concierge and a child are second-class citizens. Between the three of them, their appreciation for the whole of art — literature, painting, film, even fine food — allows them to transcend the walls of class, race, age, and gender." Sheila Ashdown, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The enthralling international bestseller.
We are in the center of Paris, in an elegant apartment building inhabited by bourgeois families. Renée, the concierge, is witness to the lavish but vacuous lives of her numerous employers. Outwardly she conforms to every stereotype of the concierge: fat, cantankerous, addicted to television. Yet, unbeknownst to her employers, Renée is a cultured autodidact who adores art, philosophy, music, and Japanese culture. With humor and intelligence she scrutinizes the lives of the building's tenants, who for their part are barely aware of her existence.
Then there's Paloma, a 12-year-old genius. She is the daughter of a tedious parliamentarian, a talented and startlingly lucid child who has decided to end her life on the 16th of June, her thirteenth birthday. Until then she will continue behaving as everyone expects her to behave: a mediocre pre-teen high on adolescent subculture, a good but not an outstanding student, an obedient if obstinate daughter.
Paloma and Renée hide both their true talents and their finest qualities from a world they suspect cannot or will not appreciate them. They discover their kindred souls when a wealthy Japanese man named Ozu arrives in the building. Only he is able to gain Paloma's trust and to see through Renée's timeworn disguise to the secret that haunts her. This is a moving, funny, triumphant novel that exalts the quiet victories of the inconspicuous among us.
"This dark but redemptive novel, an international bestseller, marks the debut in English of Normandy philosophy professor Barbery. Renee Michel, 54 and widowed, is the stolid concierge in an elegant Paris hotel particulier. Though 'short, ugly, and plump,' Renee has, as she says, 'always been poor,' but she has a secret: she's a ferocious autodidact who's better versed in literature and the arts than any of the building's snobby residents. Meanwhile, 'supersmart' 12-year-old Paloma Josse, who switches off narration with Renee, lives in the building with her wealthy, liberal family. Having grasped life's futility early on, Paloma plans to commit suicide on her 13th birthday. The arrival of a new tenant, Kakuro Ozu, who befriends both the young pessimist and the concierge alike, sets up their possible transformations. By turns very funny (particularly in Paloma's sections) and heartbreaking, Barbery never allows either of her dour narrators to get too cerebral or too sentimental. Her simple plot and sudden denouement add up to a great deal more than the sum of their parts. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"With its refined taste and political perspective, this is an elegant, light-spirited and very European adult fable." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] quiet, graceful book....
"Even when the novel is most essayistic, the narrators' kinetic minds and engaging voices (in Alison Anderson's fluent translation) propel us ahead." Caryn James, The New York Times Book Review
"The Elegance of the Hedgehog is one of those novels that hangs around in your head for quite a while after you've put it down. An enjoyable read." Rocky Mountain News
"The plot thins at moments and is supplanted with philosophical discourse on culture, the ruling class, and the injustices done to the poor, leaving the reader enlightened on Kant but disappointed with the story at hand." Booklist
In this enthralling international bestseller, two girls live inconspicuous lives in the center of an elegant Paris apartment building. It is only when a stranger moves into their building — and sees through the girls' disguises — that Paloma and Renee discover their kindred spirits.

U.S. Synthetic Biology Technique Triples Biodiesel Yield
6:40 AM MDT | March 28, 2012 | Alex Scott
A technique developed by researchers from the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI; San Francisco Bay Area, CA), is able to optimise the performance of microbes to generate a target molecule while they are still in a bioreactor. In tests, the technique tripled the yield from microbes designed to generate biodiesel. The novel synthetic biology technology, dubbed a dynamic sensor-regulator system DSRS), enabled the researchers from JBEI to detect metabolic changes in microbes while the microbes are converting carbohydrates into fatty-acid based fuels – such...
