VIRGINIA BEACH - Two U.S. sailors died Wednesday and a third was missing after their minesweeper helicopter went down in the Atlantic Ocean during routine training off Virginia, the Navy said.
Two other crewmembers were being treated for injuries at a Norfolk hospital.
Officials said a Navy helicopter rescued four crewmembers about 20 miles off Cape Henry after their MH-53E Sea Dragon went down about 11 a.m. One was declared dead soon after arriving at Norfolk Sentara General Hospital, and the second sailor died hours later, the Navy said Wednesday night.
The search for the missing sailor was to continue throughout the night.
Navy officials said the helicopter was one of two Sea Dragons assigned to the Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14 at Norfolk Naval Station that were training.
Officials said the 87-foot patrol boat Shearwater, out of Portsmouth, a small boat from Station Little Creek and two MH-60S helicopters responded. A Virginia Beach fire boat was assisting the military, officials said.
Meteorologist Evan Stewart said the water temperature was about 40 degrees and the air temperature about 30 degrees at the time of the crash.
The Sea Dragon, built by Sikorsky, is a modified version of the more common CH-53E Super Stallion and can operate from aircraft carriers or other warships. Primarily used to clear mines from shipping lanes, it also delivers heavy equipment to and from ships and can transport up to 55 combat troops.
At 99 feet long, the Sea Dragon is the largest helicopter in the Western world.
A July 2012 crash of another Sea Dragon killed two of five crewmembers during an attempt to retrieve a downed helicopter belonging to the Royal Air Force of Oman. A Navy investigation blamed the Norfolk-based crew for not conducting preflight safety checks and not having an established plan for aborting the mission in the mountains outside Muscat, the capital.

- How to Read a Study Record
Despite effective ART that can suppress both HIV and HBV, HBV-related liver disease remains a significant co-morbidity in this population. Little is known about the histologic spectrum of liver disease, the significance of complete vs. incomplete HBV suppression, the utility of novel virologic and serum markers of disease severity, and the long-term renal and bone effects of TDF-based therapy. This proposal will address these important questions and impact the science and health of those coinfected with HBV-HIV.

|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|HBV-HIV Coinfection Research Network
- Liver disease severity [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will clinically, histologically, serologically, and virologically characterize a well-defined cohort of HBV-HIV patients in North America in a cross-sectional manner
- Outcome of viral suppression [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- We will longitudinally determine the impact of complete vs. incomplete viral suppression on clinical and serologic outcomes, and histologic progression by paired biopsy.
- Define a threshold HBV DNA level associated with disease progression.
- Establish the utility of noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis compared with biopsy.
- Define the frequency of genotypic and phenotypic TDF resistance with long term therapy

HBV-HIV coinfected subjects
HBV-HIV coinfected subjects seen at one of 7 participating centers.
Detailed Description:
Since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 1996, there has been a dramatic reduction in morbidity and mortality among those living with HIV. However, chronic liver disease due to coinfection with hepatitis B (HBV) or C (HCV) virus has emerged as the second leading cause of mortality among HIV-infected persons. The natural history of HBV infection is altered in those with HIV. Current guidelines recommend that most coinfected patients be treated for both HIV and HBV infection using combinations of ART that include tenofovir (TDF). Despite widespread adoption in the US, the effect of this regimen on long-term outcomes of HBV disease such as histologic severity, progression, and risk of emergence of resistant HBV variants, and the long term risks of TDF therapy remains unanswered. Further investigation is required to address the following important questions: (1) what is the proportion of HIV-coinfected patients who have incomplete viral suppression on TDF?; (2) is incomplete suppression of HBV acceptable in HIV coinfected persons and if so, what threshold HBV DNA level constitutes an adequate clinical goal?; (3) in view of the lack of acceptance of liver biopsy among HIV practitioners, can noninvasive markers accurately assess HBV disease activity and the impact of ART on disease progression?; (4) What are the long term risks of TDF-based therapy for HBV in HIV coinfection? In short, what are the risks and benefits of TDF-based therapy for CHB in patients with HIV coinfection? The NIH Hepatitis B Research Network (HBRN) is the first major effort to elucidate the natural history and treatment outcomes of persons with chronic HBV the US. The HBRN will not address the critical issue of HBV liver disease progression in HIV-infected persons because patients with HIV coinfection will be excluded. The current proposal, an approved ancillary study of the HBRN, offers a unique opportunity to fill major gaps in HBV-HIV knowledge and to compare HBV-HIV infected persons to those with HBV monoinfection participating in the HBRN. No other funded research network in North America has the expertise, patient population, and structure to carry out the proposed studies. The Specific Aims are: 1. Define the problem. We will clinically, histologically, serologically, and virologically characterize a well-defined cohort of HBV-HIV patients in North America in a cross-sectional manner; 2. Define the benefit of long term therapy. We will longitudinally determine the impact of complete vs. incomplete viral suppression on clinical and serologic outcomes, and histologic progression by paired biopsy and 2a. Define a threshold HBV DNA level associated with disease progression; 2b. Establish the utility of noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis compared with biopsy; and 2c. Define the frequency of genotypic and phenotypic TDF resistance with long term therapy; and finally 3. Define the risk of long term therapy. We will assess the long term renal and bone effects of TDF-based therapy in the HBV-HIV cohort. Collectively, this study will fulfill many of the key priorities outlined in the NIH Action Plan for Liver Disease for HBV-HIV coinfection.

|No.2 UNC Edges ASU In Pitchers' Duel
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Wednesday, 15 May 2013 07:43
Appalachian State University pitchers Jeffrey Springs (Belmont, N.C./South Point) and Tyler Moore (Banner Elk, N.C./Watauga) limited one of the nation's top offensive attacks to four hits but
Appalachian managed just one hit of its own in a 2-0 loss to second-ranked North Carolina on Tuesday evening at Boshamer Stadium.
Two nights after Appalachian State (27-20) banged out a season-high-tying 19 hits in its series-clinching 13-3 rout at West Coast Conference champion Gonzaga, Will Callaway (Greenville, S.C./Eastside) recorded Appalachian's only hit with a first-inning single off UNC starter Reilly Hovis (2-0).
Seven Mountaineers reached base after Callaway's first-inning hit (six walks and a hit batter) but Appalachian went 0-for-10 with runners on base and stranded five in scoring position in the frustrating loss. The Mountaineers' best scoring opportunity came in the sixth inning when Hector Crespo (Miami, Fla./Florida Christian) and Noah Holmes (Rockwell, N.C./East Rowan) walked back-to-back to lead off the inning. However, the next three batters struck out, leaving Holmes and Crespo stranded second and third base.
Springs (2-3) and Moore nearly matched North Carolina's three hurlers pitch-for-pitch but the Tar Heels scored the game's only runs on a sacrifice fly in the third and an RBI groundout in the sixth. UNC (46-6) came into the game leading the nation with 8.6 runs per game and ranked 10th nationally with a .313 team batting average.
Besides the sterling performances by Springs (5.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 K) and Moore (3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 K), Appalachian State's highlight of the evening was Callaway's two-out single to right field in the first inning, which extended his hitting streak to 22 games. Callaway's 22-game hitting streak is just five games shy of the school record of 27, set by Rand Smith in 2009.
Appalachian State's final preparations for next week's Southern Conference Tournament come this weekend when it hosts three games versus SoCon regular-season champion Western Carolina. The three-game series opens on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.
NOTES: The loss snapped Appalachian State's four-game winning streak versus opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference ... despite the loss, Appalachian is still 3-2 in its last five games versus top-10 teams ... the Mountaineers have lost 13-straight to North Carolina, dating back to an 11-10 win in Chapel Hill in 1997 ... Crespo became the seventh player in Southern Conference history with 100 career stolen bases when he swiped his 21st bag of the season in the eighth inning.

Fires injured several area residents on Saturday night, including a Linville fire and one in Foscoe. The Watauga fire was dispatched at 7:15, several departments sent to 125 Fred Hartley Road off NC 105.(photo by George Barton)
The Watauga Fire Marshall's office said that the wrong burner turned on lead to the fire, and caused two small children to be taken to and treated at Watauga Medical Center. The house was filled with smoke as firefighters arrived on the scene, and the children were transported to Watauga Medical Center as a precaution to check for smoke inhalation.
Two families will be helped by the American Red Cross and will be housed away from their home until the structure can be aired out.

BAR HARBOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The United States Environmental Protection Agency says that after paper, food makes up the largest volume of waste in landfills. In an effort to reduce food waste, 23 New England universities and colleges are joining together for the EPA Food Recovery Challenge.
By joining the challenge, campuses pledge to reduce, donate, and recycle as much of their excess food as possible. The College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor is no stranger when it comes to reducing food waste. For 40 years, the College of the Atlantic has been composting organic matter that is left over from meals throughout the day. The compost is then used in their community garden. When it comes to food waste, it's the big picture that matters most to his school and his students, said College of the Atlantic president Darron Collins.
The 23 schools in the challenge doubles the participation from past years. The partnership looks to reduced the 1.64 million

I have a confession to make. This is what my mudroom has looked like for…well, let's just say waaaay too long. Perhaps it wouldn't be such a travesty if it wasn't the main entrance people use to my house. I remember when we bought our house five years ago that I was so excited to have such a large mudroom, but then suddenly it became so small. It was small because it became cluttered with every item that entered our house. The jackets that didn't get changed over properly from one season to the next, the hand-me-downs that were dropped off and the ones that I'd compiled to hand over to the next kid, the tote bags for the grocery store, and just about every other thing you can imagine would come into a house with two small children. It had gotten completely out of control! I finally reached my wit's end and voila, we have a majorly re-worked mudroom that I now love to look at when I enter the house!
I started by going back to basics. We emptied the space completely and took down all of the shelving. Good news, it really is a decent size space! Then we painted the wood paneling Benjamin Moore Simply White (using the kitchen and bath paint because we live near the water and this room experiences the dampness that goes with that). This turned into a little bit more of a production than I intended, but once you start scraping a little bit of paint, it makes sense to go all the way so all the doors and windows got a makeover too.
I brought in the two chairs that I found at Brimfield last month, and actually their wood coloring and imperfections are what inspired me to go full speed ahead with a nautical mudroom (well, there's probably a good chance I would have anyway with my track record, but they made the vision clear). I added a wire basket from Marshall's to gather the kids' shoes in. Then we hung a series of eight cleats that we picked up at the local ship supply store to hang our severely edited collection of coats (we actually do have two coat closets in the house!) and bags on.
They offer a perfect spot to display our favorite Sea Bags while also making them handy to grab as we're heading out the door!
I had also picked up some used nautical rope when we were at the consignment ship supply store. You can easily find it new as well, but I like the vintage effect it adds, particularly since the chairs are vintage. I didn't really have a plan for it and was actually envisioning using it in the garden, but it became obvious that the perfect spot to use it was going to be in this space. I thought about just winding it across the upper molding, but then I decided that spelling out a little welcome to our guests would be more fun and so I created this "ahoy" message for all to see when they walk in the door, and I added a little anchor stencil to ground it better in the space.
It only seemed logical that we post a farewell message on the opposite wall where people exit the house and while "fair winds" might have been slightly more appropriate, my husband and I both preferred the sound and the look of "bon voyage" to send our guests off with well wishes. And because I was able to scoop up so much rope at such a great price I even had enough to create a rope border along the molding around the entire space.
It so much nicer to walk into this bright and fresh space, and perhaps the most unexpected benefit of this makeover is the new view I have from the kitchen when I glance out the door. It's so much more refreshing to see this space than the mess that once was.
There are of course still several more things we'd like to do in here. I hate the textured tile that is also in our kitchen and catches every bit of dirt (less than ideal for a mudroom). We're also incredibly tempted to open that awful tiled ceiling up, but while we hope we'd find some nice beams, there's a good chance that it's just a mess that we'd have to fix and seeing as it took us this long just to tackle the mudroom at all, I think we'd better wait until we can tackle any problems that arise with that job.
But at least I've knocked one more think off my very long to-do list!

PAWTUCKET — The charred remains of the three-family house at 420-422 Mineral Spring Ave., where Tuesday's explosion occurred, was abuzz all day Wednesday with police and fire officials, National Grid workers, and various bulldozers and dump trucks. However, as the day drew to a close, there was no word on the cause of the devastating blast and fire that left at least seven people homeless and sent two to the hospital.
PAWTUCKET — The charred remains of the three-family house at 420-422 Mineral Spring Ave., where Tuesday's explosion occurred, was abuzz all day Wednesday with police and fire officials, National Grid workers, and various bulldozers and dump trucks. However, as the day drew to a close, there was no word on the cause of the devastating blast and fire that left at least seven people homeless and sent two to the hospital.
A man living on the third floor who suffered third-degree burns was reportedly expected to recover, along with a baby, believed to be his, who had second-degree burns to the head and cheek. Pawtucket Police declined to release the victim's names, and both are believed to be still hospitalized.
Fire Chief William Sisson said Wednesday morning that heavy equipment was being brought in to remove a large portion of the roof that had collapsed and was resting on the floor of the third-floor apartment. "We need to get in there to inspect, but the building is very unstable," he said. He added that National Grid inspectors had not been able to enter the building yet either due to the structural issues.
Sisson said that he and other public safety officials had spoken with the tenants and others and had eyewitness accounts of what took place that day, but said there has been nothing definitive so far as to the cause or where the fire even started.
Sisson also said that National Grid workers had inspected the gas lines in the road, checked the sewers, and went from house to house in the immediate area looking for leaks but had found none. "It's a puzzler," he stated.
There had been speculation about the explosion being caused by gas. The three-story woodframe house, built in 1880, had been vacant for some time, but it had recently undergone renovations, and tenants occupied all three floors.
City officials had said Tuesday that a mechanical permit to install a new natural gas heating system in the newly renovated apartment house had been taken out on Sept. 30. The city had also said it had no record of anyone at the property calling to have the work inspected, as is required by the permit.
Yet, Douglas Hadden, communications director for the city administration, said that the property, owned by Lone Star Realty LLC, of Greenwich, Conn., had a valid certificate of occupancy.
Hadden also said the permit to install three new 1,000-BTU boilers that used natural gas had been pulled by an approved East Providence heating contractor and was good for 60 days. However, while no one had called the city to inspect the system, he said it is not known at this point if the heating system was ever installed or turned on. This is another determination that still needs to be made, he pointed out.
Hadden also noted that the tenants would not have been required to leave when the new heating system was turned on; the requirement just called for the work to be inspected when it was completed.
Hadden said the goal had been to get Mineral Spring Avenue, one of the city's main arteries, open by the end of the day, but as of last evening, it remained closed from Lorraine Street to Hope Street.
The house has also been deemed to be structurally unsafe and will be razed once the inspections have been completed.
For the tenants, a man, woman and baby on the third floor, a woman with a toddler-aged child on the second floor, and a young couple with a dog on the first floor, it meant finding a new place to live. The Red Cross had been called to assist some of the tenants, while others said they were staying with relatives.
Victoria Major, the first-floor tenant, was at the scene Wednesday afternoon moving out clothing and other belongings, much of it wet from the water used to extinguish the fire. "A lot of it can be washed, I guess," she said, gesturing to a pile of soaked shirts on the sidewalk.
Major's boyfriend, Eric Silva, had been credited for being one of several men who raced up the stairs to alert the other residents after the blast occurred and who helped carry down the baby from the third floor. Although they were both home at the time of the explosion, Major and Silva escaped without injury. "We were lucky," Major said, noting the extensive damage that had occurred.

TEL AVIV, Israel (CBS NEWS) --A bomb ripped through an Israeli bus near the nation's military headquarters in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, wounding at least 10 people, Israeli officials said.
The attack came as diplomats, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, shuttled around the region to try to broker a cease-fire following a weeklong Israeli offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza that has killed more than 130 Palestinians. Militant rocket fire into Israel has killed five Israelis.
This, as thousands of Israeli ground troops massed on the Gaza border and awaiting a possible order to invade.
The bus exploded about noon on one of the coastal city's busiest arteries, near the Tel Aviv museum and across from an entrance to Israel's national defense headquarters.
The bus was charred and blackened, its side windows blown out and its glass scattered on the asphalt. The wounded were evacuated and blood was splattered on the sidewalk.
An Israeli driver who witnessed the explosion told Army Radio the bus was "completely charred inside." Another witness said there were few passengers on the bus when it exploded. The witnesses spoke to Israeli TV and were not identified.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said authorities were investigating whether the bomb had been planted and left on the bus or whether it was the work of a suicide bomber.
"We strongly believe that this was a terror attack," he said.
He said that of the 10 wounded, three were moderately to seriously hurt.
More than 1,000 Israelis were killed during the violent Palestinian uprising in the last decade in bombings and shooting attacks. More than 5,000 Palestinians were killed as well.
The last bombing in Tel Aviv was in April 2006, when a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people at a sandwich stand near the city's old central bus station. A bomb left at a bus stand in Jerusalem last year killed one person.
In Gaza, the Tel Aviv bombing was heralded from mosque loudspeakers, while Hamas' television interviewed people praising the attack as a return of militants' trademark tactics.
There was no claim of responsibility from Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
Clinton pressed on Wednesday with efforts to wring an elusive truce deal from Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers, after earlier attempts to end more than a week of fighting broke down amid a furious spasm of violence.
She joined other world diplomats in shuttling between Jerusalem, the West Bank and Cairo, trying to piece together a deal that would satisfy the two foes after a week of fighting and mounting casualties.
After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Tuesday night, Clinton conferred with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank on Wednesday morning and was to travel later in the day to Cairo, which is mediating in the crisis.
About 60 demonstrators, riled by Washington's support for Israel, rallied in Ramallah as Clinton arrived for talks with Abbas. She left the city without comment.
The two sides had seemed on the brink of a deal Tuesday following a swirl of diplomatic activity also involving the U.N. chief and Egypt's president. But sticking points could not be resolved as talks -- and violence -- stretched into the night.
Israeli aircraft pounded Gaza with at least 30 strikes overnight, hitting government ministries, smuggling tunnels, a banker's empty villa and a Hamas-linked media office.
One blast blew out the windows of the hotel room where CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata was staying in Gaza City.
At least four strikes within seconds of each other pulverized a complex of government ministries the size of a city block, rattling nearby buildings and shattering surrounding windows. Hours later, clouds of acrid dust still hung over the area and smoke still rose from the rubble.
The impact of the blast demolished the nearby office of attorney Salem Dahdouh, who was searching through files buried in the debris.
"Where are human rights?" he asked, saying officials negotiating a cease-fire ought to see the devastation.
In downtown Gaza City, another strike leveled the empty, two-story home of a well-known banker and buried a police car parked nearby in rubble.
"This is an injustice carried out by the Israelis," said the house's caretaker, Mohammed Samara. "There were no resistance fighters here. We want to live in peace. Our children want to live in peace. We want to live like people in the rest of the world."
Medics said an area child was killed, raising the Palestinian death toll to at least 138. Five Israelis have also been killed by Palestinian rocket fire, which continued early Wednesday.
The Israeli military said its targets included the Ministry of Internal Security, which it says served as one of Hamas' main command and control centers, a military hideout used as a senior operatives' meeting place and a communications center.

Lately, like many other people in the world, we've had Scarlett Johansson on our minds. But unlike the fanboys who are thrilled by her upcoming part in Iron Man 2, we're excited about her recent role as the face of Dolce & Gabbana's new beauty line, The Make Up . In regards to the latter, while the products are absolutely amazing (watch this space for more details), the outfits Johansson wears while promoting said collection are just as noteworthy. Her recent spate of event-ensembles is truly inspiring, whether the pieces are demure (like the Dolce & Gabbana Summer Flowers Silk Top ($330) she wore for a promotional appearance at Selfridges in London) or devastating (such as the lace-and-mesh Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim booties she wore at Comic-Con). In honor of these enviable looks, we've devoted today's content to Johansson, as we play another round of What Would She Wear?
When dreaming up Johansson-inspired outfits and looking for items we imagine she'd love, we first had to decide which of the actress' many style-personas we wanted to channel. These days, her red-carpet look is usually comprised of a minimalist ensembleÂ--a fitted sheath dress here, a décolletage-bearing blouse thereÂ--that is tantalizingly enriched with a dynamite accessory or two. Additionally, she almost always pays respect to old-Hollywood, whether that's with a sexed-up pair of stilettos or simply by playing up her hourglass curves with a sharp belt.
Of course, no matter how flawless her frock is, a hint of Johansson's free-spirited side always manages to peep through the movie-star glamour. Whether it's a glimpse of a brightly colored inner-forearm tattoo or flash of fluorescent polish, these small details hint at a rich off-duty life and suggest yet another side to her personal style.
All in all, these many facets are a lot to consider, but we were up for the challenge nevertheless! In fact, we found some excellent pieces that are perfectly in keeping with all aspects of the starlet's current style, so read on for all our discoveries and why they embody the spirit of Scarlett Johansson.
1. Alexander Wang Leopard Print Silk Blouse ($500)
We can completely envision Johansson emphasizing her sex-kitten style by wearing this animal-print blouse, designed by fashion-world darling Alexander Wang. The prim-and-proper Peter Pan collar contrasts nicely with the sassy pattern and would look chic tempered with a ladylike pencil skirt!
2. Elizabeth and James Open-Toe Ankle Boots
Johansson is famous for her femme-fatale looks and her ability to wear some seriously risqué fashions. It is no wonder, then, that we think these lingerie-inspired booties from Elizabeth and James would be the perfect fit for the actress/singer. The metal-spike heel adds a little bit of edge to the pretty lace paneling and would make quite a statement paired with a simple dress or even just stovepipe jeans!
3. Paul & Joe Saphir Mini Skirt ($315)
Our muse du jour embraces bold huesÂ--though usually in small dosesÂ--so we figured that this rich violet skirt would be the perfect way to incorporate Johansson's color preferences. The skirt is a relatively high-waisted style, which means it's an ideal selection for highlighting a feminine silhouette.
4. nubar Nail Lacquer ($7.50) in Green Tea
Though this shade might not seem like an obvious choice, we think it works for a number of reasons. First of all, green polish had serious presence on the fall runways (jade at Chanel, forest at Vena Cava). Secondly, we imagine that Johansson would approve of nubar's cruelty-free vegan formulas. Finally, the quirky color is just the sort of slightly subversive subtle touch we've come to expect from the actress.
5. Diane von Furstenberg Marlene Clutch ($550)
The second we saw this new clutch from DVF, we knew it would be a natural fit with today's subject. The snakeskin-embossed panels and hammered-metal accents are the sort of simple-but-punchy details that Johansson favors. Additionally, its design was inspired by one of the great silver-screen goddesses of all timeÂ--Marlene DietrichÂ--a fact that Johansson would surely appreciate.
6. Made Her Think Wrap Your Stones Earrings ($187)
When it comes to jewelry, Johansson rarely goes for necklaces or bracelets, but always finishes her look with an interesting pair of earrings. We selected this pair by Made Her Think because we loved the combination of Swarovski rhinestones and army-green silk: they're fancy but not fussy.
7. Diptyque Huiles Precieuses Precious Oils For Body ($78)
We hardly ever pay attention to non-fashion celebrity news, but we've noticed that Johansson has quietly and consistently supported the green movement for quite some time. In accordance with this earthy ethos, we decided to include this lovely bottle of organic body oil from Diptyque. The sulfate and paraben-free formula is made from sweet almond, argan, and macadamia nut oils and gives skin a gorgeous glow.

Wildlife rehabilitators love their work, but would rather not have so much of it to do.
The north country has few enough rehabilitators as it is, especially those who deal with animals that can carry rabies, such as raccoons, and most of them are inundated with calls to take care of rescued animals.
Theres not many of us doing it, said Dinah J. Manley, a rabies vector species rehabilitator in Franklin County who works with fellow RVS rehabilitators Patricia A. Murphy-Stickney and Amy E. Ouimet. Weve had to turn people away.
With the onset of spring, when animals start to move around, they are expecting a new onslaught of emergency calls. Asking people to think before they try to save an animal that does not need saving was their message. In the five years they have been certified, the three have returned to the wild hundreds of animals.
Many would have done as well or better left in place.
A lot of these things are preventable, Ms. Murphy-Stickney said. If you see babies, just let them stay because mama will eventually move them.
Some people try to do the work of rehabilitators, raising animals in their own homes also not a good idea, because their release can be problematic for many reasons, such as they are too fat, have been treated as a pet or are let go in an inhospitable location.
Some animals end up being brought to rehabilitators because they are a nuisance.
Live trapping is a last resort because many animals suffer when released in a different location, she said.
If you trap the mother, then we end up with the babies or they starve to death, which is horrible, Mrs. Manley said.
Animals are opportunistic, coming to areas they like for food or shelter.
Unless you deal with the problem, theres always another one waiting, Mrs. Ouimet said. You humanely encourage them to move on.
Solutions can be simple, such as closing garage doors or bringing in the cat food and bird feeders at night, Ms. Murphy-Stickney said.
Many websites are available that list remedies for dealing with nuisance animals, such as the skunk whisperer at www.totalwildlifecontrol.com, www.wildlifehavenrehab.org, www.wildthingssanctuary.org or www.kywildlife.org.
There are times when rescue is in order, such as when David A. LaShomb, Norwood, saved two starving baby raccoons last year. Mr. LaShomb tried unsuccessfully to find a rehabilitator so he was raising the animals himself when a state Department of Environmental Conservation officer picked them up and they were killed by the state Health Department for rabies testing.
Outcry over what happened has led to a better working relationship among the Health Department, DEC officers, and rehabilitators, Mrs. Ouimet said.
She has not been as happy with the response to some of the other suggestions she has made, such as having more locations for rehabilitation training or using the Internet to reach more people.
We live in the world of Skype, Mrs. Ouimet said.
She also has had little luck in persuading the state to offer rehabilitators reduced cost pre-exposure rabies vaccinations, which is required for a license and which costs about $700, or in having vaccine-laced bait made available for animals under care.
A DEC spokesman had no immediate response to ways it could encourage more wildlife rehabilitators.
Mr. LaShombs situation also led him to create an organization, FLO Foundation, short for Feisty and Little One, the names of the baby raccoons he tried to save. Mr. LaShomb has filed for nonprofit status and the organization already has raised about $1,300 toward helping rehabillitators, whose work is often expensive.
The organization gave $100 to a rehabilitator in Adams Center and $100 in supplies to Mrs. Ouimet.
We might expand it to make it more for all wildlife rehabilitators, not just those who take care of raccoons, Mr. LaShomb said.
FLO Foundation would like to sponsor someone to become a rabies vector species rehabilitator in St. Lawrence County, where there isnt one.
Its an amazing commitment they have to make, Mr. LaShomb said. Were still plugging away. Were getting somewhere.

Barry Markowitz, ASC has made a specialty of shooting intense, well-acted, literary films that generate big OSCAR® buzz without $100-million budgets. His credits include Sling Blade, which won an OSCAR® for best adapted screenplay, along with a best actor nod for director Billy Bob Thornton; The Apostle, which earned a best actor nomination for director Robert Duvall; All the Pretty Horses, a beautifully rendered adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel; and Crazy Heart, a box-office phenomenon that garnered three nominations and a best actor OSCAR® for Jeff Bridges.
On the heels of Crazy Heart, Markowitz has re-teamed with Thornton and Duvall on Jayne Mansfield's Car, a culture-clash drama with comedic elements that unfolds in the American South. As director, star and co-writer, Thornton attracted a knockout cast that includes Kevin Bacon, Robert Patrick, Frances O'Connor, Ray Stevenson, Shawnee Smith and John Hurt.
Thornton has acknowledged the influence of Tennessee Williams on the script. In it, a wealthy, eccentric Southern family is forced to adjust to a proper British clan because of the death of their mother, who had moved to England and remarried 30 years earlier. Her final request was to be buried in Alabama. Duvall's character comes face to face with the man who stole his wife, as well as confronting his own mortality. Set in 1969, the story smoothly shifts from comedy to pathos.
"It's so well written," says Markowitz of Jayne Mansfield's Car. "It was an honor to be involved, and a pleasure to shoot something without car chases and vulgarity. The dialogue is fascinating, and with this cast, you're following each thread. It came straight out of Billy Bob's head — he's just a master at this sort of thing."
The schedule was roughly 35 days, which meant that the production had to move quickly, at times covering nine pages a day. Markowitz and Thornton chose to shoot 35mm film in the 3-perf Super 35 format for a widescreen 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The film stock was KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219, and the A camera was a PANAVISION MILLENIUM XL2 with PANAVISION PRIMO lenses.
Markowitz says that Thornton is "old school," offering as evidence his preference for dark images and film texture. "Billy likes dark," says Markowitz. "Our shorthand on the set was the 'Claude Rains' school of lighting – referring to the 1933 The Invisible Man (shot by Arthur Edeson, ASC). Whenever Billy wanted a shot dark, he'd ask for 'Claude Rains' lighting!"
That aesthetic was carried to extremes for a scene in which the power goes out. Eventually, candles are brought out, but for the interim, Thornton asked for "the feeling you get when your eyes have adjusted to almost complete darkness." Markowitz shot the scene 3 1/2 stops underexposed based on tests he had done. He crushed it further in the digital intermediate, and then Thornton crushed it again. "When I saw it, I said 'Who lit this? This is juicy!'" Markowitz says with a laugh.
The entire movie was produced on practical locations around Atlanta and Covington, Georgia. "We try to do everything real, no matter what," Markowitz explains. "Some producers would prefer to shoot everything on the stage, but sometimes one wants to see and feel the exterior. That's one of the main reasons we love film. When you put ND12 on the windows, you eliminate any chance of putting a light through that window. That's not how we do things."
In day exterior situations, Markowitz was most pleased when he had even, overcast light to work with. "The northern light really reads naturally well on film," he says. "There are positives and negatives with both formats.
With digital, hot skies can present contrast problems. Lighting for digital is essentially subtraction; you have to control and shape the light and you may have to minimize your sky. If you're locked off, then the DI can help, so to speak. Using older lenses can also help. But depending on how you go about it in post, the texture of film will always be there."
Jayne Mansfield's Car screened at the Berlin, Toronto and Mill Valley Film Festivals. Andrew Pulver, film critic for The Guardian, called it "an intelligent, polished character drama." Anchor Bay Films picked it up for theatrical distribution in the U.S. and United Kingdom.

Contest Update: The winner of the $25 Candy.com gift certificate is Michele Clark Powell! Michele answered the question posted below, "What NEW jelly bean flavor would you like to see made?" with "Potato Chip." Congrats Michele and thanks to all who participated!
Flavor trends in the sweets arena are fascinating and fickle. Last year at the Sweets & Snacks show in Chicago, honey, bacon, and coconut had the press talking and manufacturers making. Coconut is apparently still hot as Mars will be launching its Limited Edition Coconut Twix next month right before Easter madness. Not sure of bacon's confectionery future.
(As a side note, check out LAWeekly's Top 10 Kit Kat Flavors You've Probably Never Tried. No sign of honey, bacon, or coconut in these Kit Kats.)
Bell Flavors & Fragrances, one of the big flavor development houses, released its Top 10 Sweet Flavors in 2011, which does include a variation of coconut. Bell says its sweet list is based on its customer requests over a 12-month period, trend scouting, and outside research resources like Mintel.
1. Chocolate Soufflé
2. Honey Vanilla
3. Red Velvet
4. Caramel Macchiato (I'm surprised about this one. It seems so Starbucks 1999.)
5. Yumberry (Had to look this one up. It's a real fruit grown mainly in China. It's pretty, but apparently pretty tart.)
6. Coconut Crème
7. Sweet Potato
8. Ginger Peach
9. Mint Citrus
10. French Toast
I don't know if I'd eat a Sweet Potato gummy bear, French Toast Tic Tac, or a Yumberry jelly bean, but I might have said that of pomegranate six years ago.

Applied psychophysiology focuses on the amelioration / treatment and prevention of disease as well as creation of optimal functioning patterns in education, sports, and business through teaching people techniques for recognizing and correcting abnormal physiological levels of function and responses. The field has a long history of making major contributions to education and health care in both treatment and prevention arenas.
The Ph.D. in Psychology, Psychophysiology specialization offered at Saybrook University is the only doctoral program in applied psychophysiology in the world at this time. Our psychology Ph.D. degree program trains people to be true professionals in the unique constellation of assessment and interventional techniques that combine to form the sub-specialty of applied psychophysiology.
Our Psychophysiology Ph.D. program is offer via distance education supported by two required "in person" training sessions per year. The distance courses are typpically provided through pre-recorded audiovisual lectures available through the course web site and student - teacher interaction via the internet following each lecture. The "hands-on" sessions take place (a) during the annual meetings of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology (AAPB) which meets once per year in various parts of the United States (this is the field's professional organization) and (b) at Saybrook's Residential Conference in San Francisco.
This doctoral program consists of a combination of online lecture courses, in-person laboratory experiences, seminars, and training experiences for a total of 105 credits. Ninety credits are in psychophysiologically-oriented courses and fifteen are core psychology courses. Three of the psychophysiologically-oriented courses are electives chosen from at least six available. There is also some latitude in which core psychology courses must be taken depending on the student's interests.
Students entering the program with graduate courses in psychology such as ethics, psychopharmacology, and developmental psychology may not need to retake these courses depending on the outcome of an individual review of each student's transcripts.

Great coat! I've had it in every situation, wind, rain/snow, sub sub zero temps. Tremendous! My only complaints are the zipper's a bit finicky and the coat leaks a few feathers here and there.
I stalked the internet for this coat and a coupon, cause 5 bills is a lot. Found both here at Rock Creek. THANKS!

Comments about Patagonia Tres Parka (Women's):
I walk my 2 dogs everyday, twice a day regardless of weather. With a recent move to windy and cold Iowa I was needing a coat that was longer than my loved waist length Mountain Hardware coat. This fit the bill. The length is great and keeps you warm almost to your knees. The fit is great and very cute. The wind resistance is outstanding. Don't even get me started on the hood. This hood is awesome. It provides great protection from the elements and it stays in place even in high wind. The collar is also outstanding. I could not love this coat more. It was a big purchase and was thought about for over a year but now I realize there was no need to wait. The coat is worth the money and I am happy to have it. Now bring on the winter! I am prepared.

Now that Mike
Sauer and Artem Anisimov have re-signed, things are getting awfully quiet
in Ranger-land. Here's a look at the stories of the weekend:
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post believes that Wojtek
Wolski is still a buyout candidate in August after the Rangers have
re-signed Brian Boyle, Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan. Wolski
seems like the odd man out at left wing, but his pure offensive talent is
matched by few on the roster. He's already given the team headaches
and would likely continue to be a frustrating player if he stays with New York next year,
but if the Rangers still have the financial wiggle-room left after re-signing
their remaining restricted free agents, keeping Wolski might be the best course
of action. The worst case scenario is that he fails to beat out New
York's other less talented left wings and sits in the press box for the
majority of the final year of his contract, but the best case is that Wolski
immediately clicks on the top line with Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik. It
might be a long shot, but if the Blueshirts have the money available, why not
give Wolski another shot?
- Brooks also wrote a good piece on why
the Brad Richards signing was a big win for New York.
- Corey Pronman of Hockey Prospectus released his prospect
organizational rankings on Friday and the Rangers came in at #20. There's
a huge disparity between Pronman's ranking and the general consensus of
the rest of the hockey community and media. The Blueshirts are ranked No. 7 by
Hockey's Future and are viewed favorably by other prospect experts
including those at The Hockey News. To be fair, a lot has
changed since Hockey's Future's list was put out and Pronman did take into
account this year's draft and he wasn't too high on the Rangers' picks. He
also doesn't include established NHLers like Ryan McDonagh, Derek Stepan, Mats
Zuccarello and Mike Sauer, which many other outlets still view as developing
prospects. Still, Pronman
makes no mention of Christian Thomas, who just may be the Rangers' best
prospect at this point. Time will tell how each team's farm system
develops, but this seems a bit low by any standard.
- Did you know that Brad Richards will
be the highest paid player in the NHL next year?

TMQG Pillow Swap
13 comments:
What sweet pillows! I think the colored thread looks great! I never seem to use it either.ReplyDelete
Love the solids in the pillow you received, so perfect! :)
I love both these pillows. The little girls are so cute.ReplyDelete
Love both pillows. The quilting on yours is great in the color. It really looks like a puzzle board! And the pillow you received is just fantastic to. I love that horsey print!ReplyDelete
Looks like you both won in the swap!ReplyDelete
What a cute pillow. I love everything about it. And how sweet your daughters can enjoy it too. There is nothing better than that.ReplyDelete
Ack....HSTs+solids+prints+awesome quilting=SWOON!! Love, love, love your pillow...that quilting makes it look like a big soft puzzle!:)ReplyDelete
Yes, she gave you the perfect pillow and I don't blame your girls for swiping it!
I absolutely LOVE my pillow! Thanks John for not only organizing such a great swap for us, but for creating something so beautiful. It is in my office at work, and I get tons of compliments on it!ReplyDelete
Both pillows are great! I just had a DC Modern meeting this morning, and we were discussing the idea of a swap...pillows would be fun!ReplyDelete
Love the solids that you paired with the Central Park fabric. I also like the idea of the pillow swap. The Triad MQG starts in a couple weeks...will have to share this with them. :)ReplyDelete
I just gasped. It is so clean and modern, creative and whimsical all at the same time. The solids are just perfect with the print. I liked the print, but wasn't sure what to use it with that didn't look "kid" or "baby". You've sent me off in an entire new direction! The quilting complements and enhances the scale and shape of the prints and sets off the solids. Just great all 'round!ReplyDelete
I absolutely LOVE the pillow you made and the bold, bright design of the pillow you received is fabulous.ReplyDelete
Love both pillows.ReplyDelete
I might have to steal your idea of doing a doing a pillow swap. Sometime idea's come in the simplest of forms.
Thank you so much for posting this, John! I'm so glad that you (and your girls!) love the pillow. I had a lot of fun making it, and I look forward to doing more swaps. Thanks!ReplyDelete

BUFFALO, NY - The calls are growing for the marathon bombing suspect to face the death penalty -- the same fate another bomber originally from Western New York faced more than a decade ago. As 2 On Your Side's Aaron Saykin observes, we're already hearing comparisons to the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was from Pendleton, in Niagara County.
Right now, authorities have not decided whether 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will face federal or state murder charges. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty, but the federal government does. So, if he's tried on federal charges in federal court -- which is expected -- then the death penalty is an option.
And according to two members of Congress from New York -- it's the proper option.
"When someone does something like this, they have forfeited their right to continue to be a part of society, whether they're locked up or not," Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told 2 On Your Side. "And frankly, the costs of locking this individual up, a young man, for the next 50 or 60 years to be borne by the taxpayers of the United States, it's unacceptable."
"This is just the kind of case that it should be applied to," said Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "In fact, the only other time it has been used since '94 is on Timothy McVeigh. And given the facts that I have seen, it would be appropriate to use the death penalty in this case, and I hope they would apply it in federal court."
Tsarnaev is likely to be charged under federal law, because the federal government has more legal and investigative resources and Massachusetts does not have a state death penalty statute.
The Boston Marathon bombing suspect could face the death penalty, former prosecutors, defense attorneys and a capital punishment expert said Saturday.
Federal prosecutors and state law enforcement counterparts in Boston are starting the process of filing criminal charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, the naturalized American citizen from Cambridge arrested Friday night in the bombing that killed three, wounded dozens and chilled the nation with the worst terrorism case on U.S. soil since the 9/11 attacks nearly 12 years ago.
But former prosecutors predicted the biggest legal decision facing prosecutors was already clear.
"I would be shocked if it's not a death penalty case," said Michael Sullivan, a former Massachusetts U.S. attorney. "You look at the statute that gives you the highest level of potential punishment."
Tsarnaev is likely to be charged under federal law, because the federal government has more legal and investigative resources and Massachusetts does not have a state death penalty statute, the former prosecutors said. Saying there's "no way that this is going to be a state case," Sullivan added that "the federal interest would not be satisfied by a state prosecution."
Arrest raises questions on rights of terror suspects
With bombing suspect caught, question now is why?
The federal prosecution process typically starts with the filing of a legal complaint with an affidavit outlining probable cause for criminal charges. Next, Tsarnaev would have to be presented before a federal magistrate judge. Because he's in a Massachusetts hospital, the judge could be brought there. Barring extraordinary circumstances, his appearance should occur by Monday.
After that appearance, prosecutors would have 14 days to obtain an indictment from a federal grand jury.
Given the now-notorious circumstances of the bombing, Tsarnaev could theoretically be charged with use of weapons of mass destruction resulting in death, said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit organization that researches capital punishment.
That statute and other federal charges can be punishable by execution, said Dieter, who also predicted "there's a good likelihood" the government would seek the death penalty.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) said on CNN Sunday that ge thought the death penalty is appropriate in this case.
"This is just the kind of case that it should be applied to," Schumer said. "In fact, the only other time it has been used since '94 is on Timothy McVeigh. And given the facts that I have seen, it would be appropriate to use the death penalty in this case, and I hope they would apply it in federal court."
U.S. Representative Chris Collins (R-NY), of Clarence, agreed with Schumer.
"I've always been somebody who believes the death penalty has been there for a reason," Collins said. "When someone does something like this, they have forfeited their right to continue to be a part of society, whether they're locked up or not. And frankly, the costs of locking this individual up, a young man, for the next 50 or 60 years to be born by the taxpayers of the United States, it's unacceptable."
Current Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and her staff are expected to decide the specific federal charges filed against Tsarnaev. If the charges are death penalty-eligible, she would make a recommendation to Attorney General Eric Holder.
He would review the recommendation, as would a panel at the main Department of Justice office in Washington - and defense lawyers would have an opportunity to submit arguments at both reviews. Holder would then issue the final decision, the final step in a process that Dieter said would likely entail "some months of consideration."
"A case like this, I would think there would be no problem" to get Department of Justice approval to seek the death penalty, said Alexander Bunin, the former top federal public defender in New York's northern district. "There certainly isn't any reason I could think of that it wouldn't be authorized."
Nancy Hollander, a past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, similarly theorized that prosecutors would seek execution "if the death penalty applies under federal charges that are brought."
Even if Tsarnaev pleaded guilty, a federal jury would have to decide on the death penalty.
However, Dieter stressed that the Washington decision-making process would weigh potential mitigating factors, such as Tsarnaev's relatively young age and his mental state.
Although Timothy McVeigh was executed for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Dieter noted that federal prosecutors declined to seek the death penalty against Unabomber Ted Kaczynski or for Eric Rudolph, the so-called Olympic Park bomber captured in 2003 who confessed to a string of attacks across the southern U.S. during the 1990s. Instead, prosecutors agreed to guilty pleas and life sentences for both.
More recently, Jared Loughner, the Arizona gunman who shot then-U.S. representative Gabrielle Giffords and others in a 2011 attack, was sentenced to seven consecutive terms of life in prison after he pleaded guilty in federal court.
"These cases were federal cases, and all of them resulted in life sentences ... after initial thoughts about the death penalty," Dieter said.

Carbon diving
At an invitiational diving meet hosted by the Dinos at Desert Wave Pool on Dec. 6, diver Michale Glasson took eighth place in the boys competition, which included 24 male divers.
He was able to improve his personal score from 226 to 280.
Lyn'D Anderson also had an excellent showing for Carbon, taking seventh place overall in the girls division.
"She had excellent body line and her entries into the water were clean with very little splash," coach Stewart Foster commented.
According to Foster, most of the top divers in the state competed in the tournament and should give the divers a good idea of what to expect at the state tournament.
Carbon's next meet is Jan. 10 at Bear River.
Carbon swimming
The Dinos sank Grantsville in a Dec. 2 meet, nearly doubling the Cowboys in both mens and womens team scores.
