PAWTUCKET — Just a few days after Andy Yosinoff earned his 700th career victory as the head coach of the Emmanuel College women's hoop team – it came Saturday afternoon, Jan. 26, courtesy of a 76-49 blowout victory over Lasell at the Jean Yawkey Center – he admitted the achievement was still sinking in.
"Can I believe it? I don't know," the 64-year-old Pawtucket native chuckled via phone from his athletic department office. "If you do something long enough, I guess you can accomplish things you never thought you would. Longevity is the key.
"When you're coaching game by game, you never think about it," he added. "When I was at 600, that meant something, and – actually – I'm at 701 now (after a 68-55 triumph over Vermont's Norwich University last Wednesday). As long as I'm still loving it, I'm going to keep on plugging. I'm definitely going to try to get my 800th."
The moment his Saints rolled to the historic win couldn't have been scripted better, or more special.
"You know who came to see me get the 700th? (Pawtucket sports legend) George Patrick Duffy and his wife," Yosinoff noted with pride. "He and I go way back. He was sitting next to my father (Louis), who's a legend himself. He's now 94, and he spent years as a teacher/guidance counselor at Central High (in Providence). He had all the really good basketball players in his classes when Central was really good.
"My dad's a sports fanatic, just like me," he continued. "When we won that game, it was great! There were about 700 people there, and I've got to tell you, it was relief more than anything, because everyone had been talking about it. We thought we were going to do it at Tufts; we were winning at halftime, and (Tufts) was ranked fourth in the country (in NCAA Division III polls), but we lost it down the stretch.
"That (victory) was really, really nice. My dad and George Patrick were there, and other friends of mine, not to mention some former players. We took a lot of pictures. It was a special day."
To put Yosinoff's milestone in perspective, he became just the third-ever NCAA Division III coach to reach the coveted 700-win mark; he now joins the ranks of Mike Strong of Scranton University (782) and former St. John Fisher College's Phil Kahler (757).
Likewise, he's the only D-III coach from a New England college or university to accomplish the feat, and now he's right there with Geno Auriemma of the University of Connecticut's women's basketball squad and Division II mentor Barbara Stevens of Bentley as the only New England coaches to glean 700 wins.
His career record (as of Wednesday, Jan. 30) is a remarkable 701-230, with all occurring at Emmanuel, where he's mentored players for 36 years. That tenure ranks him third all time in seasons coached at one school; he trails only Elizabethtown's Yvonne Kauffman (42 years) and the University of Tennessee's Pat Summit (38).
"It's been a tremendous experience working along side Andy for all these years," offered Arthur Powell, who has spent 23 seasons as his assistant. "I'm very happy for him. Andy has a passion for winning, but it goes beyond winning for him. It's about the players, and Andy is truly to the Emmanuel student-athletes.
"He's a great guy and a great friend. I've enjoyed being a part of so many winning seasons."
The tandem currently enjoys a remarkable 35-game, regular-season win streak in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference, one that dates back to the 2009-10 campaign. Under Yosinoff, the Saints once owned the D-III record for consecutive victories at 72 games, a mark that spanned 2000 to 2006.
It gets better. He also has led Emmanuel to 14 GNAC titles and 17 NCAA appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 2001, the Elite Eight just last winter and the Sweet Sixteen in 2008.
Yosinoff grew up on Pleasant Street in this mill city, later graduating from Pawtucket West High in 1966 as a two-time All-State selection, not in basketball but tennis.
"I lived right near the Oak Hill Tennis Courts, and they were made of clay back then; they were beautiful," he recalled fondly. "I used to stand and watch older guys play, and my father, who was not a tennis player, took me there to hit balls with me. I was about eight, so he led me on my way.
"I was lucky," he added. "A couple of guys who were ahead of me, Frank Durao and Bruce Kiernan, played there, and they were ranked No. 1 and 2 in the state at Pawtucket West. They helped me get better."
He also was involved with the Providence Little League back then, playing with local legends Billy Brooks and Joe Lopes, though just adored basketball.
"I played for our Jewish Community Center team in Providence; we were in the old New England JCC League," he remembered. "We had a pretty good team, and I was a pretty good player at point guard. I played JV (at West) for one year, but was more involved at the JCC."
While earning his Bachelor's in Education at the University of Rhode Island, Yosinoff represented the Rans' men's tennis teams all four years.
"I knew when I was 16 I wanted to be a teacher and coach," he stated. "That's why I went to URI. It's a funny story how I became involved in coaching, though. When I went to Kingston, I was in a fraternity (Phi Mu Delta) and a friend of mine was John Scanlon (for decades a teacher, coach and athletic director at Tolman).
"I wanted to play basketball at school, too, but our frat team was almost as good as the varsity," he continued. "A couple of guys knew I could handle people, so they asked me if I wanted to coach the frat team. I just said, 'Fellas, I'd be glad to!'
"We never lost a game in three years. In fact, Howie Catley (the now-retired Lincoln High varsity football coach and teacher) was one of my starters, and we also had Joe Lopes, John Jeannotte and Scanlon, who's a year younger than me.
"We were 35-0 in those three years, and we always beat Sigman Chi in the finals. You know who played for them? Larry Caswell and Frank Geiselman (both stupendous teachers and mentors at Tolman/Shea and Cumberland, respectively."
With a laugh, he said, "I don't think they liked losing to us much!"
After gaining his degree in 1970, he moved on to the University of Miami of Ohio to achieve a Master's in Education; he claimed he did because it's famous for its athletics, as it's known as the "Cradle of Coaching Greats," and also because his Rams' tennis coach, Ted Norris, hailed from nearby Hamilton.
At Miami, he spent a year as men's varsity assistant coach, then became the physical education director at the Highland Park Youth Men's Hebrew Association in New Brunswick, N.J.
After another 12 months there, Yosinoff brought his Master's back to Boston, and spent the next 34 years teaching and coaching in the public school system.
How he became the Saints' coach is a mammoth part of his lore; it's also a hysterical tale.
"In the fall of 1977, I saw an ad in the Globe and it said Emmanuel was looking for a women's tennis coach," he said. "Back then, it was still an all-girl school, but I went for an interview. This woman told me the hours I'd need to be there for practice and matches, but I just couldn't, so I said, 'Do you have a head coach for women's basketball?'
"When she said, 'No,' I said, 'Well, you do now!' She just told me, 'OK, you've got the job.'"
When he began the job, he had a mere six players.
"There was no scoreboard in our tiny gym, and they had fan-shaped backboards," he noted. "If you looked at it, it would've reminded you of the movie 'Hoosiers.' We had 400 seats on one side, and the ceiling was only 20 feet high. With the sidelines, you only had three or four feet before you'd hit a wall.
"That year, we finished 4-6, and there was a good reason for it: The Blizzard of '78 hit that February, and 10 of our games were canceled. I hate losing, so I knew I had to start recruiting good players. That's how I started to change the program."
Over the years, he's built his Saints into the renowned squad it is today. It's the only D-III team throughout the Northeast region ever to record 20-plus triumphs for 12 consecutive years.
"Why is is so successful? The work ethic I learned from my dad and mom (the late Freda Yosinoff)," he indicated. "They always told me the only way to accomplish something in life was to outwork the other guy, but be loyal to everyone.
"I'd also like to think I'm one of the most persistent recruiters in the United States; I just don't take 'No' for an answer," he added with a giggle. "I think I'm pretty good at developing relationships with the student-athletes' parents. I let them know if anything goes wrong on or off the court, I'll be there for their kids.
"I've also developed a system that I've used ever since I got here, and it has to do with the way I competed against bigger guys in tennis. I was only 5-8, so I had to battle my opponents; I had to be more aggressive and outrun them, just wear them down.
"We use full-court pressure, use all 94 feet to pressure their offenses. We want to be the aggressor, and every chance we get to fast-break, we'll take it. We'll do it!"
When asked about his most memorable contests, Yosinoff didn't hesitate.
"In 2001, we made the NCAA (Division III) Final Four; it was in Danbury," he stated. "The way we got there, we had to beat New York University in the quarters, and it was ranked No. 1 in the nation. Here's tiny Emmanuel, with maybe 500 kids, and NYU, which had (an enrollment) of 49,000. Nobody gave us a chance, but we ended up winning in overtime
"What equals that was last year, when we made the Elite Eight," he continued. "We had to beat Rhode Island College in its own gym, and we did. That was unbelievable, because my father had graduated from RIC in 1938, and I was from Pawtucket; we had a lot of friends in the area. We won that by four, too. Just incredible!"
It's been quite a career for Yosinoff, as his list of accomplishments is longer than his new gym floor.
In 2003, he was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame, and – five years later – he received the Heights Award, given by the Massachusetts State Lottery and Boston College Athletic Department to the person who has made great contributions to women's sports.
After the Saints' appearance at last year's NCAA Elite Eight, he captured the 2012 Red Auerbach Award for being the national Jewish Coach of the Year (he beat out two D-I mentors in the process).
In addition, he was selected to coach the U.S. women's hoop contingent at the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel, and helped Team USA to its first-ever gold medal.
Finally, this Friday night, he will be inducted into the URI Athletic Hall of Fame.
"Like I said, it's been quite a ride," he offered, "but I'm not going anywhere yet. I still have more goals for me, for our team. Where would we be without goals?"

Mathematics is often used to study evolution, whether that be the evolution of animal species, the evolution of viruses or the evolution of language. A recent study has taken this one step further by modelling the evolution of national cuisine, and it was found that even though there are wall-to-wall celebrity chefs on television these days trying to broaden our culinary horizons, our cultural cuisines are largely the same as they were almost 100 years ago.

After every Olympics, there is speculation about which country performed best. Should we really be surprised when China, with its huge population, and the US, with its combination of high GDP and population, top the medal table? Can we take a look at the medal tables and see which countries did indeed perform better than expected?

Disney Pixar have just released the movie, WALL-E. A bleak, post-apocalyptic tour-de-force, the movie depicts the gentle romance between two robots of the future: WALL-E, the not-so-bright and not-so-attractive "guy" with the big heart and sweet personality, and EVE, the sleek, sexy, totally out-of-his-league babe.
Pixar designed these robots so that we see them as human. But what exactly is WALL-E? Is he pure fantasy and speculative fiction? Or is he — is artificial intelligence — simply the way of the future?

Who is your favourite fictional mathematician?
We all have favourite movie characters, but who is your favourite fictional mathematician?
It is quite difficult to compile a list of fictional mathematicians. Scientists are often portrayed in films — usually as mad — but there are very few who are specialised mathematicians. Here at Plus, we have come up with a list that we think covers most well-known fictional mathematicians, although it is debatable whether some are even mathematicians at all! We are asking for your opinion — who is your favourite?
Have we missed yours off the list? Please leave a comment and let us know. We will write a biography of the character who wins the poll.

Bicycles in London modelling contest run and won
MP Emily Thornberry, eBourbaki founder Eliana Hechter, and contest winners Peter Eccles, Tom Hudson, and Ryan Lothian.
eBourbaki has announced the winners of its 2008 Bicycles in London mathematical modelling competition. The contest took place in early May, and students were asked to model a network of low-cost rental bicycles for the City of London. Students were able to explain mathematically why some schemes in Europe have succeeded while others have failed. For more information on the contest, see our story on the Plus blog
The winning team was presented with a check for £1000 by Emily Thornberry MP, head of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cycling.
The winning team included:
The winning team created two mathematical models. The first described commuter flow based on publicly available data from Transport for London. They recommend that 12 large bicycle stations be placed near rail stations in Central London together with a network of 250 smaller stations distributed throughout the West End, the City of London, and the area in between. The second model focused on the estimated use of a network of 50 stations in the proposed configuration to determine the number of bicycles appropriate for these stations. Ultimately, the team proposed an average of twenty bicycles at a small station.
eBourbaki director Eliana Hechter said, "The winning team created a mathematical model that could serve to help the City of London construct a network of rental bicycles that serves commuters most efficiently. Mathematical modelling is a way of 'testing the system' to be confident that the system, once instituted, will actually work effectively. We hope the City will work with the winners and consider using their programs in the network design."
eBourbaki organizes mathematics modelling contests for students of mathematics, computer science, and engineering around the world to provide solutions to optimization problems, addressing some of today's greatest public goods issues. The policy implications of this contest are great and the results have been forwarded to Transport for London. The Bicycles in London contest followed the successful Shade in Phoenix contest in conjunction with the City Planning Department of the City of Phoenix, Arizona.
eBourbaki's next contest will involve predicting the results of the next U.S. presidential election this October. We'd all like to know that result.

'I get paid to blow up stuff'
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- "Fire in the hole, fire in the hole, fire in the hole," the soldier yells just before the flat, sandy landscape ...
... explodes into clouds of smoke with fiery cores and stray sparks of orange light.
The shock waves plow underground as if bolts of thunder are striking upwards from the center of the earth. The sound floods eardrums like a dozen M4s popping off rounds.
One soldier watching in the background giggles quietly as if she is surprised to still be standing.
"All the different agencies out here including other services -- Air Force, Army and the Navy -- they all turn over un-serviceable munitions to us," says Staff Sgt. Mathew Kimberling with the Air Force's 332nd Explosive Ordinance Disposal, "and we come out here and dispose of them a couple times a week."
Staff Sgt. Mathew Kimberling holds a roll of shock tube and sends out a radio message, notifying the base that EOD is ready to initiate the controlled detonation.
The EOD is the military's equivalent of a bomb squad at Joint Base Balad in Iraq, where Oregon National Guard medevac units from Charlie Company are stationed.
"One of the biggest things we dispose of is small arms ammunition that's captured from the enemy, like AK-47 rounds," Kimberling says. The controlled detonations of such materials create an explosion that soldiers can feel in housing trailers all around Balad.
Whenever the EOD has a disposal day, they allow other soldiers to visit the site and view the bombs bursting in air. There is always someone eager to see stuff get blown up.
At 7 a.m., the seven visitors meet at the EOD compound. They are greeted by several concrete barriers where the words "Tony and Will's Place" are painted in bright colors.
The sign is a memorial dedicated to two soldiers in the EOD.
"We're a close knit family," says Kimberling, who estimates there are only about 1,500 soldiers in his line of work.
Kimberling, a close friend to one of the fallen soldiers, remembers the day he heard the news.
"I was in Baghdad getting on a plane to leave when he was killed," he says.
Memorial murals are not uncommon in Iraq, like giant tombstones on the freeway; it reminds soldiers of the sacrifices made during war.
On third deployment to Iraq: 'Things have slowed down'
Kimberling, who is on his third deployment to Iraq, is no stranger to soldiering through the bad times.
On his first deployment in 2005, he was based near Kirkut and his unit disarmed Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with armored vehicles.
"Back then missions were 24/7, you slept when you could," says Kimberling, whose unit would commonly run into four IEDs a day. "A lot of our efforts were post blast."
Kimberling helped collect evidence like cell phones or washing machine timers used for IED detonators.
In 2007, Kimberling performed route clearance missions in Baghdad. "We would go out in the dead of night and cruise the roads at 5 to 10n mph," says Kimberling, reminiscing about the old days.
The EOD in Balad has several MRAP -- Mine Resistant Ambush Proof -- vehicles at their facility, but quiet days prevent them from needing to roll outside of the base.
"If IEDs become more common or if an aircraft went down, they'd send the MRAP out," says Kimberling.
The MRAP comes equipped with the bomb-disarming robot, which Kimberling calls the "EOD's best friend" and a tourist attraction. The armored vehicle also contains bomb suits -- covered from head to toe with armor -- and an x-ray machine.
"My first deployment was the busiest it's been," Kimberling says looking at the gear inside the MRAP, which smells like a new car. "Things have slowed down."
Despite the change of pace, Kimberling's only complaint is missing his family. When he's not on a deployment, he is stationed at Travis Air Force Base in California with his wife, his 18-year-old stepson and 15-year-old step-daughter.
It can't be easy being a 24-year-old father, but Kimberling has gained certain maturity through the military, which has a rich history of turning boys to men.
"For somebody that doesn't know how to be responsible, it (the military) teaches you to be responsible," says Kimberling, who joined the Air Force right out of high school.
But Kimberling attributes his parenting skills to his childhood experiences with his family in Lincoln City, Ore.
Kimberling, an Oregonian at heart, often wishes there was a way to return to his hometown.
"If I could get stationed in Oregon I would," says Kimberling. But he looks forward to relocating his family to another base in Colorado, where he can take up his hobby of motorcross.
"I haven't been able to ride for the last five years," says Kimberling who has been busy with his family and a continuous string of deployments.
Despite losing out on free time, Kimberling still loves his job. He mentions it several times throughout the day.
"I get paid to blow up stuff," says Kimberling with a smile. There are only a few soldiers now in Balad that get that rush of blood from controlling explosions with their own hands.
On this day, Kimberling and his team drive to the center of Joint Base Balad to set up five detonation sites for destroying about 600 expired U.S. military flares.
Kimberling stacks rows of flares and sticks of C4 on a flattened wooden box. A plastic cap filled with a very small amount of sensitive explosives is inserted into one of the C4 sticks.
"Normally explosives take a combination of heat, shock and friction to get set off," says Kimberling. "Blasting caps will get set off with one" -- heat.
According to Kimberling, a small cylinder with a ring called a M18 Pull Initiator is attached to a line of shock tubes. When it's pulled, a flame travels at 6,500 feet per second, igniting the blasting cap via heat.
Staff Sgt. Heidi Leon, an EOD Craftsmen, detonates the last explosion with the M18 Pull Initiator.
The visitors ready their cameras and stare out into the desert with the crease of anticipation on their brows.
"I'm out here on the range today just to have some fun with EOD, just see how the units work under our group and … blow stuff up," says 24-year-old Senior Airmen Erik Nielson from Helena, Mont., who works for the Mission Support Group in Balad.
Visitors help detonate the flares and C4.
After helping to detonate the explosions from a safe distance of 1,000 feet, Nielson is thrilled by the boom.
"It's incredible, being a pyromaniac myself, this is great," jokes Nielson, who has been inspired by today's events to perhaps change his career field.
For Kimberling, explosions are just another day in the life of an OED Journeyman. But that doesn't mean there isn't a wide smile set on his face.
Cali Bagby is embedded with the Oregon Army National Guard from Charlie Company, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation, a Medevac Unit based out of Salem, Ore., for KVAL.com. Her work has been published in the Washington Post and the Eugene Weekly. | More stories | Visit her Web site

If you're into space battles and vaporizing hostile aliens... then Atmo is just the video game for you. Door 6 is the mastermind behind the project and just released it from beta testing. You can download Atmo for free from Google Play.
For those who didn't get a crack at the Atmo beta, it's a real-time, multiplayer space combat game. Your team is charged with searching through capsules for a hidden enemy flag, capturing it and bringing it home, all the while fighting to keep your flag out of the clutches of your vile opponents.
Atmo's 3D graphics are great and ran smoothly in a few tests using the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The heads-up display keeps you aware of everything around you, yet you don't ever get disoriented in its fairly open world. This video game can also be played on all major tablets brands including the HTC Flyer and HTC Jetstream, Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Motorola Xoom just to name a few.
Enhance your gaming experience with high quality speakers, and headsets featuring the Beats by Dr. Dre
Start with Atmo's tutorial. It will give you an overview of the game's controls and objectives. You'd better be ready to play. At the end of those 45-seconds of training, you'll be dropped in the middle of a live game. (Here's a handy tip to get you started: hold down the fire button to maintain a steady stream of lasers heading toward ships, capsules and whatever else gets in your way.)
The game gives you the option of just jumping in for a quick play, but if you want to track your score's history, you have to login under your Facebook account. This is a pesky requirement right now, but pretty soon it will be used to team you up with Facebook friends who also want to play the game.
The Door 6 team has quite a few plans for Atmo beyond today's version. They've got a ranking system with a leveling mechanic and achievement rewards, ship customization options, and more sophisticated weapons like unmanned drones. Eventually, the game will morph into a lot more than just a thrill-of-the-destroying-your-enemies game.
Your Apple-toting buddies won't get left out of the game for long. There's an iOS version in the works that's due in the App Store soon.
The game is available for free in Google Play right now. The designers are experimenting with versions where players can earn ship upgrades, or pay for them if they're desperate. A highly-complex version of the game that would be available for purchase is also in the works.

10 Reasons To Not Get Plastic SurgeryTracey Gaughran
As I've gotten older, I've found the question has started to come up more and more often: to get plastic surgery or to not get plastic surgery?
I've been asked which side I fall on regarding the question – the side of the plastic surgery yays or the plastic surgery nays – and honestly, I'm noncommittal. A lonely little in-between, as it were. Because while plastic surgery is something I wouldn't have ever dreamed I'd consider back in my 20s – hell, even through most of my 30s – now that I've crossed the 40-year-old barrier, the idea seems less and less repugnant. This softening of my view on plastic surgery could likely be measured in direct correlation to the sagging and wrinkling of my own aging, falling-into-decreptitude-ish body. With each year, a new wrinkle/bulge/sag (or several) appears, and each year I become less and less sure of my formerly militant anti-plastic surgery stance as a result.
And while I've seen a few people – celebrities, mostly – get good results from plastic surgery, we all know there's a terrible dark side, and real risk involved. Beyond the possible surgical complications (including death–which is, I think you'd agree, QUITE the complication), how many times have you looked at the "work" a celeb has had done and thought to yourself, "CONGRATULATIONS! You just ruined your own face, aka YOUR MONEY MAKER, STUPIDHEAD!"? Quite a few times, right? And that's because the truth is that plastic surgery is more art than it is science. And great artists are hard to come by – let alone afford.
Sadly, some stars find this out the hard way, and are forced to live with the consequences forever. Here are ten celebrities whose unfortunate plastic surgery results might serve to give those of you thinking of going under the knife for vanity's sake serious pause:
Melanie Griffith 1 of 10Once a natural beauty with a lot of spunk, Melanie's plastic surgery has somehow had the opposite of the intended effect and made her look older than her actual years. She should ask for her money back, IMHO.
Donatella Versace 2 of 10This doesn't even look like the same person, does it? Donatella now sports the classic Plastic Surgery Joker Smile, and is, in my opinion, much worse for it.
Tori Amos 3 of 10Two words: Kabuki Mask. (Seriously, how was she not PERFECTLY LOVELY before? HOW?)
Rose McGowan* 4 of 10For no apparent reason that I can tell, Rose decided at some point that her entire face needed a major overhaul. This is the result. Why someone as naturally beautiful as she was would do this literally boggles my mind. [*ETA: It seems Rose's plastic surgery was NOT vanity-related - she was in a car crash and needed reconstructive surgery. Thanks to JLJ for the correction!]
Meg Ryan 5 of 10I have a lot of personal angst over Meg Ryan's transformation from adorable Girl Next Door to freakish clown-alien. This kind of says all I have to say. SIGH. (Why, Meg, why?!?)
Lisa Rinna 6 of 10Her whole face looks substantively different, but those lips... ugh. How could anyone see that as an improvement?
Jocelyn Wildenstein 7 of 10Wildenstein (aka "The Lion Queen," "The Cat Woman," "The Bride of Wildenstein") - a New York socialite - spent over $4M on extensive plastic surgery to make her face look like this (whatever "this" is). I'll just let you mull that over in your head for a while. FOUR. MILLION. DOLLARS.
Janice Dickinson 8 of 10The World's First Supermodel (at least according to her) was once fresh and gorgeous-looking. Now... not so much. She now sports the Lips As A Flotation Device Look - another common plastic surgery faux pas.
Courtney Love 9 of 10Okay so Courtney Love was never a beauty queen, but... do you guys remember Janice from The Muppet Show? THAT. And that's NOT good.
Carrot Top 10 of 10My friend Stacy described Carrot Top as now looking "like the Incredible Hulk mated with Little Orphan Annie." BINGO.
What about you guys? Would YOU consider plastic surgery? If so, what would you have done? If not, why wouldn't you do it?

POTSDAM - A Potsdam man and St. Lawrence University undergraduate recently walked 100 miles from Camp David to the White House with a hundred other people to urge President Obama to enact his climate change policy by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.
David Smith joined the organization Walk for Our Grandchildren as an opportunity to be part of the change he wishes to see in the world. He sought this walk to better himself and make it known throughout the community that climate change is knocking on everyones doorstep.
Smith, who is studying Environmental Studies and Geology, is a strong opponent of the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Keystone XL pipeline is a 1,179 mile long pipeline spanning from Alberta to the Coast of Texas.
Opponents of the pipeline have six central reasons to reject the pipeline: the oil is not for American consumption, it will raise oil prices in Midwest, the Alberta Tar Sands release more carbon dioxide than any other form of oil in extracting processes, the tar sands are linked to cancers in First Nations people in Alberta, the amount of jobs proposed from the project are a couple thousand rather than original proposed hundred thousand, and oil companies are uncertain how to clean up this type of bitumen oil-like substance, if spills do occur.
The walk began July 19 at Camp David with 25 thru walkers. The dedicated environmental activists slept on a civil war battlefield, hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail, and walked along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The walk ended July 27 with a couple hundred walkers marching down 16th Street to a rally in Lafayette Park, Washington D.C.
The walk was successful by raising awareness throughout surrounding communities, in which walkers joined local environmental groups to protest a natural gas compressor station in Myersville, Md., and pushed the council of supervisors in Leesburg, Va., to enact their energy plan passed a few years ago. The walk also received plenty of media attention when conducting a nonviolent civil disobedience action at the headquarters of Environmental Resource Management (ERM).

Spatial Epidemiology of HIV Infection

- How to Read a Study Record
Data will be extracted from the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) medical records database, geocoded according to the street address so that the case number, incidence, etc could be mapped. The spatial data would be used to detect the aggregation of HIV cases, existence of "hot spots" and then determine if they may merit further investigation or may have occurred by chance. The results from these GIS-based analyses would address local variations in HIV prevalence and transmission.

|Study Start Date:

|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The transmission routes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are well known and many control programs focusing on risk groups and behavior have been undertaken. However, the risk factors of HIV transmission are not only at individual level (eg: demographic, behavior, and genetic risk factors), socioeconomic and environmental factors also take important roles. In Taiwan, few researches explored the spatial distribution of HIV infection. Studies in other countries observed a significant geographic variation in HIV infection. To understand the spatial pattern of HIV infection in depth, the present study aims to retrospectively investigate the epidemiological and geographic characteristics of HIV infection using the medical records database of National Taiwan University Hospital. A Geographic information system (GIS) and spatial statistics will be used to analyze the geographic patterns to determine whether spatial dispersion or clustering. There are two aims of this study. One is to investigate the epidemiology of HIV infection in Taipei City. The second is to analyze the spatial characterizes of HIV infection, including disease mapping, geographic correlation studies, and identifying the presence of HIV clusters and their potential spatial risk factors. In addition, we want to examine whether there are different distributions between different classificatory groups. Finally, we hope that our findings would give some direction for local health and policy planners to improve the HIV intervention and prevention strategies

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
In the last few years, local governments throughout the west have become more sensitive about public agencies purchasing private land within county boundaries.
The reasoning behind their sensitivity is twofold.
One underlying factor is conservation easements may be placed on the land, making it virtually undevelopable for perpetuity. Second, land purchased by government agencies removes the property from county tax rolls.
Along with other counties, Carbon has established master plans for dealing with situations like the one that came up during a regular county commission meeting on Feb.2.
Chris Colt from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources approached the commissioners about a possible land purchase by the agency next to the Gordon Creek Wildlife Management Area from a private citizen.
"I have come here to get input into this possible purchase and to take some comments back to our resource council," explained Colt. "The idea of purchasing this land was brought to us by the owner. We are presently just looking into it and have gone no further."
Deputy zoning administrator Gayla Williams pointed out that the local master plan was set up so Carbon government would absorb no net loss of private lands in the county. Basically the commisioners want the right to sit down with landowners before sales to public agencies take place.
"We just recently purchased 640 acres near Wattis for the new shooting range," pointed out Commissioner Bill Krompel. "We want to look at these purchases on a case by case basis. We believe there needs to be an education process for all involved in any such action."
With the purchase of the gun range property, Commissioner Steve Burge said the county has been concerned about looking "hypocritical" regarding the transition from private to public property when it came to other government agencies.
Colt agreed that it was a good idea for the sides to discuss the situation, noting that the DWR wanted the possibility of the purchase "on the record" with the county.
In an unrelated matter of business, Kenilworth resident Bill Hefner approached the commission about renovating the corner park at the entrance of the town.
Hefner and other residents have been working with a gas exploration company that met with them last fall about putting wells near the town.
In trade, the company told the residents it was willing to look at putting money into the community.
The company asked the residents to come up with a priority list of projects.
"What we did is create a wish list for the community and put them in a letter to the company," said Hefner. "Of course, we also prioritized the things we were considering and they recognized out priorities. One of the main ones was to revitalize the park."
Hefner said he started researching to find out who had the title to the park because nothing could be done without the owner's permission.
"I went to the county recorder's office and found that the park is owned by the county and now we would like permission to do some development on that park," said Hefner."The first step the company has suggested is to hire a landscape architect to look at it and come up with some ideas."
Hefner said he had no idea what the property lines were or how much land was involved.
Williams indicated she learned about the possible project and pulled the records. The records show there are 1.3 acres.
"Interestingly, the road that goes into Kenilworth runs right through the property, so there is some on both sides of the road," she stated.
Hefner said that one of the other plans the community has is to put up a sign welcoming people to the town.
"Maybe if that property is on the other side of the road we could put the sign up there," he speculated.
The commission had some questions and were somewhat surprised that the county owned the park. And they also brought up the perennial concern of that once a park is in place, who will take care of it.
"The special service district (Carbon Recreation and Transportation Special Service District) has been helping to redevelop the park in Spring Glen," said Krompel. "We have been using personnel from the golf course to help with some of the major stuff with that, and that is a possibility for this too, but maintenance of a park is always a problem. The county has no parks department."
Some discussion ranged on about the maintenance and Hefner suggested that maybe the residents could get together and take care of it.
At that point Burge suggested that county engineer Evan Hansen be asked to survey the plot of land so that the county and the residents can tell what they are actually dealing with before any kinds of decisions are made about what to do.
The commission also held two public hearings, one on a zone change and the other on a conditional use permit, for six newly proposed gas wells in the Whitmore Park area for the JW Operating Company.
"All these wells will be on private property," Larry Johnson a representative for the company told the commission. "The company will be using horizontal drilling to get to the resources for these wells because the terrain there doesn't allow for direct drilling."
Johnson also told the commission that JW Operating has owned the mineral leases for drilling there for a long time and has been told that if they don't start to make them active the leases could be rescinded by the federal government. He also said that if these wells are productive there is the potential to put in more wells in the area.
During the review and recommendation stage in the county planning commission some land owners in the area had pointed out that the gates and many of the cattle grates in the area were either subpar or were in poor condition. At the time Johnson had agreed the company would work on some of those to improve them.
"We have been planning to go out there and look at those but the weather and the muddy roads have kept us from doing so, but we will get out there evaluate it," said Johnson.
During the public hearings only two people stood up and had any comments.
Colt, who had been there for the earlier agenda item had some comments about wildlife impacts in the area by the well development.
"Basically what I want to bring attention to are the impacts on the sage grouse" said Colt. "One example of some significant impacts is in one place where a road runs right through a mating ground. JW Operating has been working with us to limit the travel on that road to the times that will affect them the least."
Colt pointed out that since the operations will be on private ground there is no mitigation required, but that any help the DWR could get on the project would be helpful.
A landowner in the area, Sue Critchlow, also asked what the wells would do to property values.
Officials in the room felt that it would do little to property values in the short run but the change from the Wastershed (WS) zone to Mountain Range (MR) zone would certainly give the landowners more flexibility with their property in the area, because the WS zoning is much more restrictive.
That brought up some questions about watershed protection, but Williams pointed out that the planning commission had reviewed that and had found no problems in the area other than some sedimentation problems which were being dealt with in the conditional use permit.
The commission then approved both the zoning and the conditional use permit.

Tune in to WWOZ Thursday morning as I celebrate one year hosting the Traditional Jazz Show.
Lars Edegran, Tom Sancton, and Seva Venet will play a few tunes live in the performance studio with my favorite 100 year old musician, Lionel Ferbos!
Thursday's Traditional Jazz Show airs from 9-11AM, live music at 10:00, New Orleans time.
Tonight we celebrate!
Tonight we ride (in true radio style!)
Tonight at 10 PM we celebrate the 19th anniversary of maybe the most daring yet maybe the most idiotic thing WWOZ has ever done: Letting the Jazz Lunatique get in front of the microphone and play what he calls music for all the crazies who come out at night.
On May 11th and 12th, drumming genius Herlin Riley led the way in presenting three of New Orleans' finest pianists in the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. With musical director Herlin and bassist Reginald Veal graciously taking supporting roles to Ellis Marsalis, Henry Butler and Jonathan Batiste, the audience was able to focus on the incredible musi
Join Brice Nice (Vinyl) vs. Alski (Digital) on the Rhythm Room this Friday for another musical duel. As usual the only rule is staying in the groove.
A full house of jazz lovers in the Rose Theatre at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York were taken to class by Marcus Roberts and his orchestra as they played a myriad of tunes by the great Jelly Roll Morton. Roberts is not only one of the most brilliant piano players in the world but is also an excellent teacher of jazz at Florida State University.
Here's a gallery of more photos of some great moments at Jazz Fest 2012! We've also posted more photos from the Photo Booth at the WWOZ Hospitality Tent, on Facebook! Log in to Facebook, and tag yourself and your friends!
"I wish Shell would sponsor events like this in my country. In my country they only sponsor destruction and death." -Nigerian band leader Seun Kuti in interview with Robert Barry.
We came, we ate, we Jazz Fest-Ed! Closing out the last day of the festival was the sounds of The Neville Brothers, Bo Dollis and the Wild Magnolias and Rockin Dopsie, Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters. We ate our last bite of crawfish strudel, alligator pie, oyster bisque and mango freeze.

Mercyful Fate - Melissa - the following is taken from the liner notes of the Melissa reissue. Melissa was the first Mercyful Fate (King Diamond) release for Roadrunner Records. At the time, the line up was as follows: King Diamond - vocals Hank Shermann - lead guitar Michael Denner - lead guitar Timi Grabber - bass Kim Ruzz - drums enjoy this for now...more on the story to come later... With a successful mini-LP and BBC radio session behind them, the Danish black metal band Mercyful Fate ("black metal" being used at that time to describe bands with a heavy sound and blatant Satanic leanings in their lyrics and image) signed a record deal with the Holland-based Roadrunner Records in 1983. The first fruit of that venture was the band's initial full-length album, MELISSA, which was also the first Mercyful Fate effort to get an official release in the United States (the mini-LP on Rave On Records was a highly sought after import, and the BBC session were only available on bootleg tapes). MELISSA got its first North American release on Megaforce Records, the tiny but highly influential U.S. indie that also issued the Stateside debut from Raven, the second release from Manowar, plus first albums from Metallica and Anthrax. Recorded at Easy Sound in Copenhagen with producer Henrik Lund, MELISSA was a better-produced effort than the mini-LP, but still captured the intense heaviness and rollercoaster arrangements that made Mercyful Fate a standout metal band of the early Eighties. Tracks like "Evil", "Curse of The Pharaohs", and the ten-minute-plus epic, "Satan's Fall", became live classics. King Diamond's lyrics, brimming with visions of demonic possession, Satanic sacrifice, undead resurrection, and ancient rituals, combined with his sinister onstage image and over-the-top vocal style to create an undeniably unique and controversial presence in the metal genre. "I remember the studio where we recorded MELISSA very well", says King. "I remember one thing that sticks out about the way Henrik Lund mixed that album. We were not allowed in the room while he was mixing. It was like waiting at the dentist and being next in line. He'd come out and say, 'yeah, you can come in now,' and we'd all walk in and hear the first mix of whatever he'd done, and we'd say, 'no, more guitar,' or 'I can't hear the vocals there,' or any other comments we had. Then he'd say, 'okay, I'll try to correct that, please leave now.' So then we'd go back out, sit outside the door, wait for him to do another mix, then come in again with more comments. It was very irritating!" Some of the material on MELISSA had been heard previous to the album's release. "Black Funeral", in different form, appeared on the METALLIC STORM compilation (one of Fate's earliest appearances on vinyl), while "Evil", "Curse Of The Pharaohs", and "Satan's Fall" were all captured by BBC Radio One for the "Friday Rock Show" (the BBC session can be heard on THE BEGINNING). Some of the songs had their roots in even earlier demo recordings done during the fledgling days when King's first band with lead guitarist Hank Shermann, the Brats, was mutating into Fate. "'Curse Of The Pharaohs' was originally called 'Night Riders' on some old demo, but I changed the lyrics to it," recollects King. "Hank wrote the music, but the words were written by the bass player for the Brats. Once I joined the Brats, we wrote new material that got heavier and heavier, but there were still some songs around that I was singing the old lyrics on. That's where 'Curse Of The Pharaohs' came from". "We really didn't have demos of a lot of stuff back then," add King. "We did for some songs, but others were never recorded on any tape. We just remembered them. And we rehearsed a lot back then - we would be at the rehearsal room three or four time a week." King recalls a bit of trivia from that period of Fate's career. "At that time, the label wanted us to do a cover song, so we tried to do 'Immigrant Song' by Led Zeppelin. But I never managed to even try out the vocals, because we didn't feel like we could make it swing. There might even be some of that on a tape somewhere." Despite the amount of new, rare material being heard on these reissues for the first time, King says there are yet more recordings around that will never see the light of day. "In the early days of Fate, Hank and I went to help Michael Denner record a demo with this little three-piece he had - it was Michael, Timi Hansen on bass, and some drummer named Nick. Some of those songs have been released on RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE, but there's some real funny stuff that we did which I guarantee you will never hear. Some of them actually might be out on a bootleg. I was singing Michael Denner's lyrics, and there was one song called "Truck Driver" that was so far from the kind of thing I was doing. But it was during the recording of that demo that we decided to actually turn that group into Mercyful Fate. Needless to say, we didn't keep any of Michael's songs!" With the release of MELISSA, the musical evolution of King Diamond from his first band, Black Rose, to the Brats, to Mercyful Fate, was complete. He had found the sound, band configuration, image, and production style (Henrik Lund's mixing habits not withstanding) that suited his artistic vision. Mercyful Fate toured Europe and the buzz on the band grew overseas as well. The stage was set for the next-and ironically, final-Fate album, DON'T BREAK THE OATH. -Don Kaye.

It's easy to get swept up with the sentiment that for Lars Anderson, Tuesday was Liberation Day.
The moment the Red Sox brought Adrian Gonzalez into the fold in December 2010, Anderson's path to reach the big leagues with the club that drafted and developed him became infinitely harder. The deal with the Padres made Gonzalez a rich man while simultaneously poured cold water on the notion that Anderson was Boston's first baseman of the future.
It's easy to get swept up with the sentiment that for Lars Anderson, Tuesday was Liberation Day.
The moment the Red Sox brought Adrian Gonzalez into the fold in December 2010, Anderson's path to reach the big leagues with the club that drafted and developed him became infinitely harder. The deal with the Padres made Gonzalez a rich man while simultaneously poured cold water on the notion that Anderson was Boston's first baseman of the future.
In the subsequent 1½ seasons that have followed since Gonzalez' arrival, the question that has hung over Anderson's head like a lead balloon was not if he would get traded, but when. No matter how Anderson fared, he was a trade chip due to the significant amount of years (seven) and money ($154 million) invested in Gonzalez.
With that as the background, it should come as no surprise that Anderson was traded to Cleveland just minutes before Tuesday's 4 p.m. non-waiver deadline. The player who deep down was probably craving a change of scenery got his just desserts – a chance to go to another team, the Indians, and with it received a clearer path to establish himself as a dependable, everyday major leaguer.
"I'm definitely excited about this new opportunity," said Anderson when reached Tuesday night.
In some degree, Anderson had his shot to put his stamp on the first baseman's gig, and failed to grab the reins and show Boston's front office that, yes, he was worthy of becoming a fixture for years to come. Remember back in the winter of 2008 when Boston made a substantial pitch to land Mark Teixeira only to see him end up signing with the Yankees? Such a perceived blow of your chief rival swooping in to acquire a player was lessoned due to Anderson, and the belief Sox management had in him.
Before the 2009 season, Anderson was the darling of Boston's crown jewel, the belief that even though Teixeira was in pinstripes, an adequate solution was on the horizon. Baseball America certainly played a substantial role in creating "Lars-mania," hailing this 18th-round selection of the 2006 draft as the top prospect in the entire Red Sox chain.
Instead of building off a 2008 season that saw him swat 18 home runs and drive in 80 runs between High-A Lancaster and Double-A Portland, Anderson spent the 2009 season chasing after his own shadow. He failed to take the next step forward in his development, spending the entire year in Portland where he batted .233 in 119 games and showed surprisingly little power (nine home runs in 447 at-bats).
"Maybe the results aren't really there this year, but I'm learning so much," said Anderson during the 2009 season. "These growing pains are going to be beneficial in the long run."
It's worth noting that Anderson was just 21 in 2009, meaning time was still on his side to justify his lofty status. His output in that aforementioned season may have set in the motion the wheels that eventually resulted in Boston pulling the trigger on Gonzalez, yet Anderson still had the 2010 season to stake his claim.
His much-anticipated move to Triple-A Pawtucket came late in April 2010, this after Anderson finally solved Double-A pitching. At the time of his promotion, he was hitting .355 with five doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and an Eastern League-leading .408 on-base percentage in 62 at-bats.
Instead of building on his early-season success, Anderson leveled off. With the PawSox in 2010, he hit .262 with a .768 OPS in 113 games. Even more alarming was the continued lack of power (10 round trippers in 409 Class AAA at-bats).
And this is the guy who was supposed to make Red Sox fans forget about Teixeira?
Red Sox officials tried to mask Anderson's shortcomings with the long ball with the belief that the power will eventually come for someone who at 6-foot-5 looked the part of a slugging first baseman. Privately, though, management was warming up to the premise that Anderson, a player who had been given a number of chances to grab the brass ring, was not the answer.
To surmise, Anderson was not Teixeira, nor was he Gonzalez, the player that ultimately made this one-time, top-flight prospect expendable.
Knowing that he was blocked, Anderson sought to make the best of his situation. To his credit, he never pouted or walked around the PawSox clubhouse feeling all "woe is me."
It's still worth noting that even though the pressure had been lifted from his shoulders, Anderson continued to display the same shortcomings that ultimately took him out of the running of becoming Boston's first baseman. Lauded for his plate discipline – Anderson led all International League batters with 80 walks in 2011 and was once again in the top 10 in the same category this season – Anderson remained reluctant to turn on any pitch on the inner half of the plate, according to an industry source.
All things considered, it seemed that Anderson had accepted his fate that he wasn't in Boston's plans and that all he could do was wait and see what happens.
On the one-year anniversary of his near-trade to his hometown Oakland Athletics, Anderson was officially paroled from the purgatory that you could say was of his own creation. Once upon a time, he was the brightest prospect in Boston's constellation. He was supposed to be Mark Teixeira, a middle-of-the-order thumper who could anchor the lineup for several seasons.
Anderson never measured up to the hype that entered into his universe in 2009. His tale serves as a chief reminder that all prospects are merely suspect until proven otherwise, a belief backed by the course of action Baseball America has taken in the subsequent years since lauding him as Boston's primo farmhand.
In 2010, the publication dropped Anderson to fourth followed by eighth in 2011, followed by 28th in 2012.
Asked to sum up his six-year tenure with the BoSox' franchise, Anderson responded, "I'm really thankful for the opportunity. There were high points and low points, but I'm definitely thankful for all of it."
The Red Sox could have had Teixeira, yet wound up putting all their eggs in Anderson'a basket. Two off-seasons later, Boston officially raised the white flag on Anderson by obtaining Gonzalez. In a nutshell, that's why Anderson is now property of the Cleveland Indians.

If you cant visit the town of Eureka, then check out our Eureka DVDs, Fargo Bobblehead, Global Dynamics Personalized Name Plate, Astreaus Track Suit Set, and great-looking t-shirts and hoodies!
