POTSDAM Learning how to make oxen pull their weight (and more) was the theme of the day Saturday at a workshop teaching the ins and outs of using cattle for hauling.
The workshop was held at the farm of Joseph L. Brant, who explained the basics of dealing with oxen. For example: watch out, they kick. Dont cut off their horns, as they are needed to hold the yolk in place. But be prepared, as bulls tend to enjoy sparring with each other and injuries may follow.
Technically, Mr. Brants steers are oxen-in-training rather than actual oxen. The official definition of an ox is a castrated bull that has been trained for draft purposes for four years, and Mr. Brants steers Cotter and Key still have a bit more than a year to go.
The workshop was hosted by the Local Living Venture, a group devoted to teaching skills for rural living to north country residents.
We have all sorts of programs to help people live more simply, said coordinator Chelle S. Lindahl.
Not everyone has a use for trained cattle, but by holding a wide variety of workshops the group hopes to improve lives through simplification.
Take one step at a time, Ms. Lindahl said.
West Potsdam resident Brad K. Clements attended the workshop to see if oxen were right for him.
I just wanted to see what it was all about, he said.
Mr. Clements works as a computer programmer, but he also raises chickens, goats, cows and pigs on his farm.
Everybody has to have a hobby, he said.
He is looking for a way to haul trees, and said he wanted to find out if oxen were a valid option.
I have a large wooded area that I could use them on instead of a tractor, he said. It would certainly be quieter.
Mr. Brant is an engineer who runs his farms on weekends and summer nights. He first became interested in training cattle to work when he realized he had lots of logs to haul but no way to haul them. Many of the people he spoke with recommended horses, but he had never worked with horses. Finally, he came across the idea of training oxen.
It was a challenge, because I didnt grow up around large animals, he said.
Now, he doesnt know what he would do without his two steers.
I work with them every single weekend, he said.

From carrying cases to toys and gadgets, cool new iPhone 5 accessories are cropping up all the time. But a new Kickstarter project offers up something totally unique, with a GPS system that'll protect your ride. And for cyclists, there can be no doubt that the BikeSpike will be this summer's absolute most important iPhone 5 accessory.
The new gadget works primarily as a GPS tracker, thanks to a native app that works for iOS as well as Android.
Just attach the BikeSpike to your bike and you'll be able to digitally "lock" your bicycle in a geo-fenced location. If it moves, or if someone even tries tampering with it, you'll get a notification on your phone.
And if a thief does manage to get their hands on it, you'll be able to track its location on map, even granting temporary access to law enforcement so they can recover it more quickly.
So far, it's among the best accessories for iPhone 5 or Android designed specifically for cyclists. And it may just become as important to standard bike security as your typical bike lock. And parents will love the safety of being able to monitor their kids when they ride outside of a designated "safe zone."
But there's a lot more to love about this awesome accessory than anti-theft protection and kid safety.
That's because the BikeSpike also works as a performance monitoring tool, logging your distance, speed and calories burned and even keeping track of inclines and routes taken. You can then share your stats to friends by phone.
Plus, if you happen to get in an accident, BikeSpike's collision detection system "can alert key members of your contact list and share the location of an accident."
At PureMobile, we're always on the lookout for the coolest new iPhone 5 accessories. And for anyone who enjoys biking during the summer, the BikeSpike is probably the single most worthwhile iPhone 5 accessory that ever rode on two wheels. Check out the BikeSpike team on Kickstarter or take a look at the video below. (It's pretty funny, actually.)

Still, 128 should be fine, shouldn't it? Or do the terra maps require 256? (As I said, this only happens in practice mode. I can play the maps online.)

CANTON St. Lawrence County residents are being warned of a potential phone scam.
Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said Tuesday that his office has received reports that residents have received phone calls from Securus Customer Service.
According to a release put out by the sheriff, the calls are coming from 866-847-1251 and a person on the other end is claiming to represent the sheriffs office, demanding money for phone calls from the inmates.
An attempt to reach an operator at the number provided by the sheriffs office landed only an automated voice that said anyone receiving calls from the number were receiving a text to connect call from an inmate at a correctional facility where Securus provides telephone service.
The St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Office will never contact you to make payments for inmate phone calls nor will the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facilities Inmate phone provider, Sheriff Wells said in the statement. Securus is not connected with the jail.
The calls are not legitimate, he said, and residents who receive them are asked to disregard them and report them to the sheriffs office at 379-2222.

CANTON Another poor start doomed the St. Lawrence University mens hockey team Saturday night.
Joel Lowry scored a pair of power-play goals in the first period to spark Cornell past St. Lawrence, 5-2 in a spirited ECAC Hockey clash before 2,035 fans at Appleton Arena.
Brian Ferlin also scored two goals for the Big Red (4-3-1, 2-3-1 ECAC), who with the win over the No. 17-ranked Saints salvaged a weekend split in their north country trip after losing to Clarkson on Friday.
Cornell scored four goals on its first seven shots in the first period including three scores on a stretch of only four shots to take command and chase St. Lawrence senior goalie Matt Weninger.
We didnt come out as hard as we should have and the puck ended up in our net too many times, Saints assistant captain Jeremy Wick said. They capitalized on their power plays and we had some chances early on that we didnt put in the back of the net.
After such a promising start in which St. Lawrence (6-4-2, 2-2-2) went unbeaten in the first two weeks of conference play (2-0-2) all on the road it dropped both home games this weekend, yielding five goals on each night.
Its very disappointing to come home and have that kind of outcome two nights in a row, Wick continued. So we know what weve got to work on and well be better.
Goalie Andy Iles made 22 saves, including all seven he faced in the third period, to prevail for the Big Red.
The four goals allowed are the most in an opening period by the Saints since yielding five in a 10-1 loss at Maine on Nov. 28, 2009.
Thats my concern right now were giving up too many goals, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. And we have to find a way to shore up defensively, and our penalty kill needs to be sharper.
After Lowry struck for his first goal as he one-timed a cross-ice feed from Brian Ferlin past Weninger five minutes, 39 seconds into the game, the Saints drew even at 1-1 at 9:16 as Greg Carey drove the puck in off the far goal post from the top of the right faceoff circle.
But the momentum was short lived as St. Lawrences Gunnar Hughes was assessed a penalty 24 seconds later and Lowry roofed a shot into the top corner of the net at 10:00 for a 2-1 Cornell lead.
It was definitely huge with the way we responded because we havent been playing very well lately, Lowry said.
Then only 86 seconds later, the Big Red scored on its next shot as Ferlin buried a centering pass from Dustin Mowrey and Weningers night was done.
Tonight, especially on the road against a very good hockey team, we came out with the intensity that we needed, Cornell coach Mike Schafer said. Andy played well, we got those two power-play goals and it was a good effort.
Weninger yielded three goals on five shots faced in the first 11 1/2 minutes before he was replaced in by Tyler Parks for the Saints. They jumped on us, Carvel said. Theyve got a very good team and their top two lines are really skilled guys and they made us pay.
The onslaught continued as Cornells John McCarron stuffed in a rebound at 15:08 as Cornell built a 4-1 advantage.
We came out focused on trying to get a good start and we didnt, McGovern said. We got in some penalty trouble and Cornell has a really good power play and they took advantage of their chances.

By: Christopher C. Duke, Ph.D.
The recent sustained uprising in Egypt has captured the world's attention in evocative and dramatic form, with the final resolution still in question. The uprisings are also a case-study of psychology in motion, touching on topics of intergroup conflict, collective crowd behavior, and leadership, to name just a few. The situation in Egypt is enormously complicated and prone to oversimplification, but I would like to explore a few of the underlying events through the social identity approach, which is comprised of Self-Categorization Theory and Social Identity Theory.
First, a little background… According to Self-Categorization Theory, people belong to many different social groups (their nation, employer, or school, for example). When people identify with a group and that particular identity is made salient, people are more likely to act as a stereotypical ingroup member and less as an individuated person. You can see this at a sports game where fans dress and act more as a single social group rather than an aggregate of individuals. Right now in Egypt, a very salient identity is that of a self-determined national people. Other group differences, such as those of ethnicity, class, or sex, are likely to recede in the face of the shared salient identity, supported by this account. The norms, thoughts, and actions typical of the salient social group will be particularly influential on group members (the Egyptian public) as long as that identity remains activated.
Social Identity Theory relates to how different groups interact with each other. Once a social identity is active, the group is seen as an extension of the self. While early crowd behavior theorists, such as Le Bon, believed crowds to be mindless and violent mobs, crowds can be better understood through the lens of social identity, acting toward group goals. In contrast to the image of a violent mob, people in crowds often display extraordinary restraint and vigilance as they look after the well-being of fellow ingroup members. Until the recent arrival of violent pro-Mubarak supporters, it was amazing how peaceful an emotionally-charged crowd of over one million people acted, going to great lengths to peacefully protect fellow members and ancient artifacts. However, once Mubarak fades from power, the unified national identity will likely recede, and other identities may come to the fore, such as those based on ethnicity, religious beliefs, or political alignment. With some skill, Egypt's leaders will be able to cultivate a unified over-arching national identity that will encompass the nation's different peoples and minimize conflict in what is sure to be chaotic times ahead. On the other hand, if intergroup differences are inflamed, national stability could be further threatened.
Political outcomes like this are always difficult to predict, and complicated by many non-psychological factors, so I will not make any claims as to Egypt's future. We can, however, better understand who the Egyptian people are most likely to view as legitimate leaders. According to the social identity approach, the best leaders gain social influence by being entrepreneurs of social identity. They tend to exemplify the norms and common features of their social group, such as through their dress, speech, and actions. They build upon and affirm ingroup identities so that group members can take pride in their identity. And, sometimes nefariously, they sharpen intergroup boundaries (the "us" and the "them"), bolstering ingroup identification at the expense of the outgroup. Egypt's fate — and it's leaders fates — will heavily depend on the types of identity-management strategies that are deployed in the weeks ahead. Any prospective leader of Egypt will need to exemplify the essence of the prevailing national social identity, or they will be in for a very bumpy ride indeed.
The psychological theory is much more nuanced than can be explained in a blog post, so check out the references below for more.

I saw the picture of the black box of Prang crayons and my heart skipped a beat as the image took me back to my grade school days 1951 at Campbell Elementary School where we were given a new, fresh box of crayons the first day of school. I always loved the scent of Prang crayons and was sad when they no longer had Sandusky Ohio printed on the box.

The american crayon company had a factory located in brooklyn ny in the early 1940's my aunt worked there and has very fond memories. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a photo of that plant or factory. It was during the war and the employees were very kind o her. I have exhaused all research avenues so if someone knows where I could obtain a copy of this I would forever be in your debt and it would make one elderly lady's day. Thanks in advance for reading

SACKETS HARBOR A Sackets Harbor Fire Company member removed in January has taken her complaint about the department to the state Division of Human Rights.
Helene G. Stewart-Rainville, a former emergency medical technician and interior firefighter, filed her complaint with the state Wednesday.
Ms. Stewart-Rainville and her attorney, Barry M. Schreibman, Cazenovia, have alleged that the volunteer company threatened and discriminated against her and that by listing the cause of her termination as not working well with others, it went against its own policies.
Its tough enough to do a job, compensated or not compensated, Mr. Schreibman said. Youre not allowed to continue that discrimination.
The company had scheduled several hearings to discuss the dismissal that Ms. Stewart-Rainville did not attend, as Mr. Schreibman said they were not hearings where witnesses could be cross-examined.
A statement from Mr. Schreibman noted that Randolph V. Lynd, who Ms. Stewart-Rainville has claimed made threats and attempted violence against her, was recently promoted to the companys chief.
That perfectly demonstrates the problem here, and I think its exhibit A as far as shes claiming, Mr. Schreibman said.
No criminal charges have been filed against Mr. Lynd over any of the incidents alleged by Ms. Stewart-Rainville.
Fire company leaders in the past have deferred comment to their lawyer, Jonathan B. Fellows of Bond, Schoeneck & King, Syracuse, who also has declined to comment on the matter.
Mr. Schreibman said the decision to go through the state Division of Human Rights instead of filing a civil case was made because the complaint would be reviewed more quickly. He said the division has the ability to reinstate an employee or award damages for pain or suffering caused by termination.
Mr. Schreibman said that taking into account time for lawyers on both sides to file countering arguments and rebuttals, it could be a few months before a decision is made by the division about taking the dispute to court.

GOUVERNEUR The village Board of Trustees advanced a number of projects Tuesday to improve the quality of life and to rebuild the municipalitys structural skeleton.
Trustees agreed to pursue a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant application with the town for a community center for Riverview Park. The most feasible way of procuring the grant is to gear the center toward senior citizens, said David L. Spilman Jr., who made a presentation to the village.
Trustees agreed that if the grant is awarded, they would commit $600,000 in repaid revolving loan funds toward the project.
If the grant isnt awarded, youre back to square one, Avalon Associates consultant Philip A. Smith said.
Although the community wants a center, questions remain about who would own it after it is built and who would be responsible for ongoing maintenance costs, issues that have been the sticking point in the past. Talk of some kind of center began in 1982.
This is a very old discussion, Mr. Smith said.
More definitive action was taken with the approval of a bid award of $326,000 to S&L Electric, Colton, for a switch gear at the hydroplant. The work is not expected to begin until the fall because the part has to be made. The repair will mean village streetlights will be out for several weeks because the plant powers them.
Trustees also agreed to award a bid of $30,475 to Con Tech Building Systems, Gouverneur, to demolish 45 Austin St., a property St. Lawrence County transferred to the village for $1 in 2011. The village wanted the house so it could tear it down for access to sewer lines and for the Gouverneur Volunteer Fire Department to reach the Oswegatchie River in case it needed water in the event of a large fire but trustees delayed a decision on demolition, trying to find a less expensive solution.
Expenses also racked up for water line improvements the village is installing during the state Department of Transportations reconstruction of part of Route 11.
The village had planned to isolate and replace a number of valves and hydrants but found that impossible because adjacent valves would not seal properly, said Mickey G. Lehman, executive vice president of consultant Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown.
Most of them dont work. This really needs to be addressed. Many of these valves are paved over. Many of them havent been operated in years, he said. The pipeline itself is structurally sound.
Trustees approved a change order of $165,000 to perform the most crucial work. Despite the expense, the project remains within its $1.2 million budget, Mr. Lehman said.
Village board members asked residents to be patient during the construction and commiserated with the complaints of Isaiah L. Ike Serviss because his problems with derelict properties on Depot Street have not been a priority.
The village sees the problem but has not come up with a legal solution, Trustee Charles W. Newvine said.

Ogdensburg Public Librarys pending window replacement may cost more than originally estimated because of unexpected asbestos abatement.
Director Wayne L. Miller said the projects budget was originally just over $105,000. That was covered by a $52,710 state library construction grant and a local match. But the presence of more asbestos than expected in the old glazing that surrounds the windows, which must be removed, will likely increase the cost.
In preparation for putting the window project out to bid, we tested for asbestos, he said. The glazing on 31 (of the 44) windows tested over the one percent threshold. This means a certified asbestos abatement contractor must be hired to remove the glazing. We must also hire a certified testing company to monitor the abatement process.
The estimate is now $120,000 and holding.
We now know what we must do and I am currently obtaining cost estimates for that work, Mr. Miller said. These are costs in excess of those budgeted for the weather stripping and other repairs to our forty-four 1923 windows. These costs are in addition to the other 50 percent needed for the replacement and renovation funds already being sought to match the state grant.
The city pulled the local share from the librarys 2013 budget and instead may tag it onto a bond that would also borrow money to buy a pumper truck for the fire department and a Zamboni ice maintenance vehicle for the Richard G. Lockwood Civic Center rink.
I am exploring all opportunities to apply for grants, Mr. Miller said.
Elsewhere, the quest for more state funds to cover the cost of another exterior renovation at the 312 Washington St. landmark is apparently in a race against potential damage to the historic buildings exterior.
Our application for at least half - $24,732 - of the $49,464 estimated cost of replacing two large sections of stucco exterior has received regional endorsement and awaits state approval in Albany, he said.
The west-facing portions of the building have started falling off. Sheets of plywood weighed down with cinder blocks have been placed to prevent punctures in the new roof membrane in the event of more wall failure.
The other window needs at the library include the replacement of three 1970s bow vinyl windows at the rear and the side on the first floor that are clouded beyond cleaning.
The 44 wood-frame windows date back to the librarys 1923 renovation. They need to be stripped and re-glazed to improve heat efficiency.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Students from Tuckahoe Elementary School in Arlington, Va. in school bus yellow t-shirts sang to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood on Tuesday.
It was part of the event "Love the Bus," which focuses on safety, environmental, and traffic benefits of the yellow school bus. The event has been held every years since 2007.
This year, Secretary LaHood talked to elementary school students about the school bus and the importance of being polite to their drivers. Some students also sang "Wheels on the Bus" while others rapped about the rules of riding the bus.

As clutch as Jones has been this year he STILL has a significant weakness; he just can't lay off low and outside pitches. Particularly when he has two strikes. Last night when we had the bases loaded and NO outs he he checked his swing on the first of those outside pitches BUT you could just see how much he wanted to swing at it. The next pitch was in the EXACT same location and he finally just couldn't help himself and futilely waved at it for strike three. This was a critical point in the game and we ended up not scoring during the inning.
I can understand if Jones just can't hit those pitches, but WHY IN THE WORLD is he swinging at them?!? If you can't hit something lay off it and make the pitcher throw three almost perfect pitches to get you out. If any pitcher can do that then just count it as one of the seven times out of ten ABs that you're going to be out. If he would just lay off of that pitch he would see more of them in his "happy places".

The unique look and crisp sound of these sandblasted hats will take your your music to a higher level.
The Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand Hi-Hat Set's sandblasted surface, various hammering techniques, and noticeable weight difference between the top and bottom cymbals combine to create an unmistakably crispy and articulate sound.
The transfer of the Sand Ride sound concept to a hi-hat has managed to combine a vintage sound and look with a modern transparent sound and clarity. The Sand Hat is a fantastic all-around hi-hat with lots of finesse and character, sporting a clear sound without being obtrusive. Full of nuances and presence, the Sand Hat can range from a silent whispering sound to a full sonic statement.
Benny Greb, who is proud to claim this set as his signature hat, calls it the most musical hi-hat he's ever heard.

He plays a large variety of music and has played rock with Stoppok and The Ron Speilman Trio, jazz with The Benny Greb Brass Band and Sabri Tulug Tirpan, funk with Jerobeam, reggae with Bobby McFerrin, classical with the NDR Orchestra on their Frank Zappa Project, fusion with 3ergezimmer and Wayne Krantz, and acoustic punk with Strom & Wasser.

Great hats, funky trashy fusion + vintage sound. Works great with the blues band I play with. We were all blown away by the sound and articulation. Some good vids are out there so that you can hear what they sound like. I found that those vids were true to real-life performances as well. Quality purchase for sure.
Heavy bottom hat mixed with the sand-blasted top hat make this perfect for the blues, which I play 80% of the time.
None better than Meinl
A bit expensive, but worth it

I looked at buying some new cymbals for about 2months i could not decide between these or zildjian A new beats. but i finally made my choice after lisitning and playing both i decided on these. if u are thinking about meinl or zildjian go with meinl there byzance series is the best money can buy they have so many choices that finding your sound is easy.

It takes many "elves" to make our community event a huge success. Thank you to everyone who played an "elf" role this year for the Children's Christmas Bazaar at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church. We had 77 elves that setup, cleaned up, wrapped gifts, greeted and helped children shop, baked treats and served coffee.
One hundred-sixty children attended our event and we hope that the joy they receive in giving their gifts will continue with them throughout the year. Allowing children the opportunity to make decisions on their purchases is the gift of empowerment.
Thank you to our community for the donations that make this event possible. It is truly the ultimate in recycling and re-gifting.
The proceeds from this year's event will be used to support health clinics in third world countries through Episcopal Relief and Development and for scholarships for TOTH's youth choir to attend a summer choir program in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.
Merry Christmas,
Beth Pattillo and Cathy Walters, co-chairs

Is there a time in your house when there are no monster noises, no Nintendo background music and the only sound is your quiet voice? Answers to the following questions will help make telling stories a special sharing time for you and your family.
When should I introduce storytelling?
Children will enjoy simple stories, or books with perhaps one or two words under each picture, at the age of two.
How will I know if a particular story will interest a child?
Of course, a child's interests are as individual as he is. Stories relating to subjects that intrigue him are likely to be of interest. A child who is fascinated by space monsters may not enjoy the same story or book as a child who loves quiet stories and picture books with pastoral illustrations. Remember that a librarian can offer booklists or suggestions.
Choosing a story or book of an appropriate length also helps. Although this is also a matter of individual taste, for children three and under, picture books with three or fewer sentences on each page, such as "There's a Nightmare in My Closet or "There's An Alligator Under My Bed," are often enjoyable.
For children five and over, stories can range from one to fifteen minutes in length; you may want to vary the lengths when telling a group of stories.
Too, feel free to amend the story to keep it exciting. If a story has a difficult beginning, but becomes more interesting later, consider paraphrasing the opening. A story that starts with, 'once upon a time there was a princess with twelve brothers' becomes more compelling if you ask a question about the exciting part that comes later, such as, "Have you ever seen a dragon?"
If there is more description than you think your listener will appreciate, you might shorten that part as well. Remember that descriptive and narrative passages often read well, yet require a long time to explain verbally.
How does storytelling promote bonding between a parent and child?
By reading a story together, both the parent and child experience its events simultaneously. If a parent interests a child in a story, the child begins to focus on the parent as a real person with interesting things to say. Having fun together through storytelling is a kind of bonding that requires no money, and promotes a close relationship because, rather than concentrating on an amusement ride or video machine, the parent and child are focusing on each other.
How are storytelling and learning to read connected?
If you tell stories that come from books, the children almost always want to read those books. Children like to work with things that are familiar. When they first break into reading and using words, if they start with a story that has been read aloud to them, this feels safer.
Also, it doesn't hurt a child to read the same story over again and again, or to read it right after you've read it to him. Each reading helps develop his own understanding and reading ability.
What other ways can storytelling be used as a teaching tool?
Storytelling can be useful for teaching reality--not being afraid of dragons and monsters. Young children can learn to distinguish different animals, numbers, letters, and seasons, through listening to stories.
Stories can be used to help families think about values. You might tell a story and then ask a child what he thought about the heroine. Although he is initially on her side because she is the heroine, when he thinks about what she actually did, he might say, 'what a mean trick!'
Storytelling is also a way of teaching children about cultures. There are stories where the events might not seem fair in our culture, but within the mores and traditions of other cultures, aren't unfair at all. To teach children about other countries or events in history, parents can create stories based on factual information. When children study the particular event or country, it will be familiar to them from hearing the stories.
What are ways to vary familiar stories?
Drawing what happens in the story while you tell it is one way to add variety. You don't have to be a fantastic artist--kids love very simple pictures. Less complex pictures also help so that you aren't drawing too long between talking. It's also easier if you know the story well enough so that you can draw and tell the story without looking at the book.
For a fun change of pace, ask children to read or tell a story to you, not in a studious, "let's see how you can read," way, but with a "let's just tell this story together and enjoy it" attitude.
That can be very fun.

"The Art of Attraction: The 2013 Salon and Spa Marketing Calendar" Helps Spas Market on a Budget
The Art of Attraction: The 2013 Salon and Spa Marketing Calendar is a year-long marketing workbook available on Amazon.com in both print and digital versions. The calendar provides tips on how to raise your spa's online profile, stimulate more word-of-mouth referrals and help you make a lasting impression on new and existing clients. Topic categories include educating clients, using social networks and email marketing.
Calendar creator, Elizabeth Kraus's role as a marketing consultant for two multi-state salon and spa professional product distributors, gave her a 360 degree view of the beauty industry. As a result she gained a unique understanding of the challenges that each player faces, from the manufacturers' production stand point, to distributors who assist in educating salon and spa professionals and, of course, salon and spa owners themselves.
"In my role as a consultant, I had the opportunity to interact with a wide range of salon and spa owners, who all share one common dilemma, the need to wear multiple hats when it comes to their business," says Kraus. "Most of these professionals work full-time hours behind the chair and must also perform their own bookkeeping and accounting tasks, human resources and management duties and marketing efforts."
Many day spa owners lack the resources to afford a dedicated marketing staff, so Kraus decided to come up with a calendar that provides business owners with tools to execute effective marketing strategies.
"My goal is to help salon and spa owners play a significant role in the lives of their clients and in their communities," Kraus explains. "The marketing ideas that they will find in my books and calendars are based on best practices for business management, human resources and marketing, and they will find elements of each in my books. I believe that this makes for a more holistic, systematic, long-term and strategic approach, rather than trying to find one silver bullet or brilliant idea that will propel them to instant success."

Sweis Inc. Grants Wish Through Make-A-Wish
On Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at The Grove of Los Angeles, Sweis Inc. Professional Salon & Spa Products granted a life-changing wish to Gabriel, a nine-year-old boy diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease. The company has teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Los Angeles to become a part of the organization's "Season of Wishes." The Season of Wishes program features eight nights of magical wish-granting ceremonies, aimed to publicly share the heartwarming tales of local "wish" children, over a six-week, holiday season period.
Sweis was inspired to support Make-A-Wish when one of its employees, Rosie Escalante, received a wish for her son Tony through Make-A-Wish in April, 2012. Sweis has since launched a campaign to support Make-A-Wish, and is committed to granting the wishes of many more children battling life-threatening medical conditions.
The company's ultimate goals include fundraising for the organization, raising awareness of the cause and furthermore, encouraging their network of salon partners to get involved by hosting their own Make-A-Wish charity events. The campaign is targeted toward salon professionals who buy from Sweis professional stores located throughout Southern California (Torrance, Lake Forest, San Diego and Encino). Customers will be asked to round up purchases throughout the month of December, and Sweis will also host an in-store shopping event on February 18, 2013, and donate a portion of those sales to Make-A-Wish.
"At Sweis, giving back to our community is a priority, and in the past we have supported many organizations," says Karl Sweis, CEO/Founder Sweis Inc. "This time we are especially excited to partner with Make-A-Wish, as it is an organization that has directly touched the life of a Sweis employee."

Q: Mr. Engelfriet, in an article in the "Intellectual Asset Magazine" you recommend the use of open source software primarily for the commodity features of a product. Could you please expand on this recommendation?
A: Philips produces and markets consumer electronic devices, products aimed to simplify the life of customers. These products, be it television sets or handheld music players, have differentiating features that make consumers prefer a certain brand, but they also contain a lot of software commodity components that no user really sees or cares about, even though they are essential for product functionality. We want to focus our efforts on the differentiating features, so for the commodity components the best strategy is to deploy quality components at low cost. This is where open source software is a good fit.
Q: Would you say that the same strategy is applicable for commodity hardware components?
A: There have been some efforts to release hardware designs under an open license but I don't see it catching on. Indeed hardware parts are being more and more commoditized but in a different way. A few very large suppliers take advantage of economies of scale but they still need to make major investments in plants, maintenance, etc. to produce commodity hardware. Entry costs in the business are high and the established companies don't have much incentive to publicly release their designs or methods. In comparison, an open source software project may start on a smaller scale and grow as it catches on, which makes it much more interesting to get help from a community.
Q: Does this mean that consumer electronic devices are becoming more and more alike since the parts are delivered as commodities from a handful of suppliers?
A: Not at all. It simply means that product design has to move up a level and be built on top of a commodity infrastructure. The same is true for both hardware and software. Product managers should know which features to develop in-house, which to have made by others and which to implement using open source.
Q: This sounds very much like business logic – yet your primary role is that of legal counsel. Do you find that business people generally share your views on commodity versus differentiating features?
A: It's true that in the past, business people and legal counsel often worked separately, but at Philips we aim for an integrated planning process to bridge the gap. IP Counsels like myself get involved at an early stage of product development or strategy planning. It's not very effective to have business developers come up with elaborate plans just to have them shot down by legal departments in ivory towers.
For instance, a supplier once came to me with advanced plans to develop a proprietary subsystem on Linux and I had to explain to them that it just couldn't be done due to the GPL license. That is a serious waste of time and energy. My role should be to make clear at an early design stage what is legally feasible and what is not in an integrated setting. And since this helps create better products at lower cost, the business is very much in favor of such an approach.
Q: Do you feel that the use of open source software is pretty much accepted today or do you still meet resistance to the very notion of OSS?
A: I don't see any resistance out of principle, it's more a question on what is the best strategy in each separate situation from a commodity-differentiating value creating perspective. Occasionally we've encountered customers that resist third party components in products due to fear of unaccountability but usually the issues can be sorted out. I sometimes have to explain that an in-house solution would be more expensive but not necessarily better and that the customer won't be able to cover costs in pricing anyway since competitors use cheaper OSS components. If they still hesitate we might offer liabilities to cover unforeseen risks.
Q: This implies that you don't see any major risks in using OSS in production today.
A: That's correct. The most common open source licenses and practices are built on sound legal principles. For instance, I don't see any risk at all that the GPL would be deemed invalid in a court. Also since so many big players deploy OSS today I can't see anybody being interested in that outcome in the first place. It's true that the licenses are written with a US-centric perspective so I wouldn't be surprised if they at some point will need to be adjusted to European legislation but again that would concern tuning of details.
Q: Open source software currently seems to be rapidly adopted in Europe although countries differ in this respect. What's the specific situation in the Netherlands?
A: You're right that there is a distinctive drive towards open source in the European Union today and perhaps even more a push towards open standards.
This is not only due to cost saving incentives but also reflects a desire to stay open as well as independent from vendors. The Dutch parliament recently adopted a plan to switch the country's public sector over to open standards. It also stated that authorities will be called upon to use open source wherever feasible. I believe that OSS will be even more prevalent in five years, even more so as SaaS (Software as a Service) catches on.
Q: Has Philips ever contributed open source code?
A: Yes we have. We regularly contribute bug fixes for open source we use. There was a joint effort in the Consumer Electronics Linux Forum driven by Sony and Panasonic where we participated. The industry-wide problem was that Linux really isn't designed for our specific needs. For instance the bootup time tends to be too long and also there were issues with memory access and Linux use on a system without a screen. While all the companies had capacity to solve these basic problems on their own, no differentiating potential was perceived so we agreed on a joint effort. Philips contributed with a hard disc access subsystem (ABISS) that was licensed as open source.
Q: One final question: MySQL admittedly delivers a commodity database released under the GPL. Would you call us an anomaly in your model of commoditydifferentiation strategies?
A: Nobody wants to be in the commodity business without some kind of differentiator and you do indeed provide such a strong differentiator due to your development expertise and talent. Lots of major companies today build mission critical systems on MySQL and when they seek advise on security, optimization, support and other key issues they will turn to you and pay for the subscription offering and other services that you provide. I think that is the right way to go.
That does sound comforting. Thank you very much, Mr. Engelfriet!

The College of Eastern Utah SUN Center has partnered with Newborns in Need: Helping Hands Chapter.
The organization serves the state and helps agencies that provide for the needs of premature and newborn babies that are sick or in crisis.
CEU students and community members have made baby quilts, receiving blankets, burp bibs, fleece blankets and a twin quilt in addition to conducting a donation drive for new and gently used baby clothes and other items, indicated the Sun Center.
Throughout April, the local volunteers also worked with the with the NIN chapter to teach quilting and sewing.
On April 25th, a recognition event was presented and people who participated in the community project were recognized for their efforts.
In addition, the SUN Center partnered with Active Re-Entry and the United Way of Southeastern Utah to plan and implement an alternative spring break service project on the Navajo Reservation near Bluff.
During the service project, volunteers from the center and the organizations worked to fulfill some of the needs of the members of the Navajo Nation, pointed out the SUN Center.
The efforts included building ramps to allow mobility for the elderly or basic needs, painting and maintaining homes and finishing corrals or outbuildings.
On April 25, the volunteer groups hosted a reflection event where people who helped during the week of spring break met to discuss the success of the project.
Thousands of other young volunteers spent Global Youth Service Day on April 25 doing similar service activities at locations across the state, continued the SUN Center.
The volunteers were a part of the largest youth service initiative in the state, the Utah Youth Service Marathon.
A total of 26 large-scale youth projects began in November and culminated with community events on the same day.
Service events ranged from planting a garden to helping refugees to playing with children whose mothers are the victims of domestic violence, and more.
Thousands of volunteers have participated and contributed hundreds of hours to serving their communities.
The marathon was organized by Salt Lake City-based non-profit organization YouthLINC.
The statewide activity was part of an effort to raise awareness of the impact volunteer service can have on young people, explained Judy Zone, director.
"I think it's really important for young people to be exposed to service," said Zone. "That's something they can carry with them and can help them understand their own power to do something good."
Marathon sponsors included the Utah Office of Education, Utah Commission on Volunteers, the Community of Caring and the Association of Youth Councils, concluded the CEU Sun Center.

A pair of osprey have returned to the ball field lights at Mickey Stevens Sports Complex to build their nest. Actually, there are nests on two poles, which has left some observers to wonder if word has gotten out that this offers a warm roost, especially at night, from which to watch the world and start a family.

No noisy city setting here. The University's ten-acre Eugene Constantin Campus rests in the beautiful foothills just off the Via Appia southeast of Rome, where ancient Rome got its start and where Romans and popes take their summer rest. Take a walk in the kiwi grove, kick around a soccer ball, eat fresh Italian food in our mensa, take a dip in the pool, work out in the exercise room, or just sit in the pergola above the working vineyard. You'll find it come paradiso-like paradise-on the grounds of this beautiful former villa.

LINCOLN – It was rather by accident how Lincoln Prevention Coalition Coordinator Pam Shayer discovered John Mattson, a Providence-based consultant who has served as a trainer, curriculum developer and evaluation advisor for numerous U.S. groups, including the National Crime Prevention Council, Center for Civic Education and Youth Crime Watch of America.
She doesn't care.
Shayer claimed being mighty impressed after reading his resume, and was ecstatic to invite him to speak at a "Who Bullies?" presentation, slated for Tuesday, March 8, at Amica Mutual Insurance Co.'s Building 100 auditorium.
The assembly, sponsored by the Lincoln and North Smithfield prevention coalitions, will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It's free and open to the public, most notably parents and children.
"He covers bullying from every single angle," Shayer stated. "He'll address the types of bullying, the scope of the bullying problem, warning signs, strategies that kids can use to deal with it, steps parents and other adults can take to address the problem and how to recognize and cope with cyber-bullying.
"The strategies kids can use, that's something new for me," she added. "Usually, we educate the parents, guardians and teachers about the signs to look for, but this is designed to help both adults and children.
"This will show them how to identify bullying behavior, and – ultimately, I hope – open the doors of communication between parents and children. I believe that's critical to the healthy development of all children. I know John will talk about how schools can be active in bullying prevention.
"My goal for this program is the same for anything I run: To educate and inform as many people as possible, and to continue to raise awareness about issues that most affect our kids nowadays. If parents are informed on those issues, then they can more adequately meet his or her needs and concerns."
The statistics are quite staggering, according to www.how-to-stop-bullying.com [2].
They reveal 77 percent of students are bullied mentally, verbally and physically; 15 percent of U.S. high school students have reported one to three bullying incidents in the last month and 3.4 percent 10 times or more; and 23 percent of elementary school-aged children have indicated they were bullied one to three times in the past month.
In addition, 30 percent of U.S. students in grades 6-10 had been involved in moderate to frequent episodes – as bullies, victims or both; one out of every four kids are bullied; one out of five admit to being aggressors; 160,000 students miss school each day for fear of being bullied; 43 percent fear being harassed inside a school lavatory; and, according to school and cyber-bullying numbers, 282,000 secondary education students are physically attacked each month.
And how's this for disturbing? Every seven minutes, a child is bullied on his or her own school playground. Adults intervened four percent of the time and peers 11 percent, but there was no intervention whatsoever a startling 85 percent.
"The thing about bullying is you don't want to wait until there's a problem in the community to address it," noted Shayer, who also acts as the North Smithfield Prevention Coalition's Co-Director. "Part of my role in prevention is to address any type of behavior that may lead to negative activity or risky, improper behavior."
Shayer explained she had attended a monthly R.I. Substance Abuse Prevention Act meeting about two years ago at Buttonwoods in Warwick, and a colleague asked her if she had heard of Mattson.
The woman mentioned she had met him through the R.I. Third Eye Project, which focuses on empowering young people to become leaders and work together against bullying, crime, substance abuse and gangs in their schools and communities.
"She told me he was fabulous in getting the message across, and she gave me his contact information," she continued. "I called him and asked if he still does presentations, and he told me did, then sent me his resume.
"You know, he's actually done more presentations in other countries than he has here in the states; at least it seemed that way. I've already heard from some school administrators who wanted to know more about the program, and a few parents have called saying they can't wait, and 'I'm going to be there!' In fact, there was one who asked, 'Can I bring my nine-year-old?' I just said, 'Of course!'
"Lincoln has done tremendous work at addressing this issue with parents and students, as we've had programs such as 'Rachel's Challenge' (about the 1999 Columbine High School massacre), 'RESPECT' and even my S.A.D.D. Group at Lincoln High.
"Honestly, bullying happens everywhere, not just in schools, not just with students but also the workplace and at home. If someone doesn't recognize that, they're being unrealistic. I've talked to John quite a few times, and I made it clear I don't want it to be a Lincoln-only or North Smithfield-only event. That's why we're holding it at Amica."
Actually, Mattson has received numerous awards for such presentations, and creating groups to aid in halting such issues.
They include the "1998 State Leader of the Year" by the National Crime Prevention Council and Youth Crime Watch of America; "2003 International Youth Service Award" by those same two organizations; "New Expansion Center of the Year" by the Youth Crime Watch of America in 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08; "2006 Excellence in Mentoring Award" by the R.I. Mentoring Partnership & State of Rhode Island; and "2006 State Charter School Supporter Award" by the R.I. League of Charter Schools.
"I'm really excited about this because John is so well-known and so well-received by his audiences," Shayer offered. "Like I said, I saw his resume and thought, 'Oh, my God! He's done presentations in Germany, and extensive work with the National Crime Prevention Council. He's talked all over the country.
"Another part of my job is to do research, look for dynamic speakers, and I've definitely found one," she added. "He'll address bullying and cyber-bullying here, but I've also had people speak about under-aged drinking, Internet safety, nutrition, drug abuse, smoking cessation, etc.
"I'm really looking forward to this. I wanted to have a bullying presentation because it's been a while since we had one, and I believe we need to revisit this topic. This is something that hasn't gone away. With all the advances in technology, it's extremely important for parents, teachers and kids themselves to be educated."
For more information, call Shayer at (401) 333-8426.

Lady Bisons have rough day in Blue Raider Bash
The Lady Bisons lost their second match of the Blue Raider Bash to Loyola-Marymount with set scores of 19-25, 20-25, 25-23, and 19-25.
"We played well all day," head coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "We just have to finish. We're playing well to 20 and then have a hard time getting those last five points."
The Lady Bisons entered this tournament knowing the level of competition was going to be tough.
"The A-Sun has no comparison to the teams at this tournament," Rosenthal said. "But this is the direction out program is going. Losing sucks right now but I want to go into conference play knowing we've played better competition."
The team managed to win one of the four sets with the help of sophomore middle blocker, Alex Kelly, who had 14 total kills in the match for a kill percentage of .462.
Freshman outside hitter Katie Rose contributed 12 digs. She also added 11 kills for a double-double.
Senior defensive specialist Jessica Turner added 10 digs.
Junior opposite Erin Pierce led both teams in blocks with a total of four.
Junior middle blocker Amy Trykowski also chipped in with 11 kills.
Megan Nash of Loyola-Marymount finished the game with a .562 kill percentage while her teammate Becky Stehling was close behind with .545.
"I'm pleased with our overall performance," Rosenthal said. "But we're not just here to play tough and go home. We're here to win."
The Lady Bisons will get one more chance at a win in the tournament Saturday at noon when they face off against Florida International on the campus of MTSU.

Most of us know what it's like to laugh at the wrong time.
The character Ray Barone in the sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" got himself in a peck of trouble when his wife Debra confided in him that her parents were getting a divorce. Typical of Raymond, instead of being empathic, he found the situation laughable and couldn't restrain his snicker.

Submission Turning memories on/off with the flip of a switch->
cylonlover writes: Using electrical probes embedded into the brains of rats, scientists have managed to replicate the brain function associated with long-term behavior and found a way to literally turn memories on and off with the flip of a switch. The scientists hope their research will eventually lead to a neural prosthesis to help people suffering Alzheimer's disease, the effects of stroke or other brain injury to recover long-term memory capability.
