Well as usual I am the last to see the movie, there were only 4-6 people in the theater tonight.
Anyway, the movie... I liked it. I didn't LOVE it, but I sure as shit didn't HATE it either. I guess I am more disappointed with the fact that the whole series is over. I thought the whole story line was AMAZING and Reloaded was my favorite one.

This weekend I climbed on a Megabus and traveled south from my life in a northern town to New York City, to visit my fiancee, see some old friends and stomp some old stomping grounds.
It was a lovely weekend. We even got to watch the marathon.
We looked for my friend Sal Ciulo from the Urban Mission, who ran in the race, but missed him. My fiancee, Meredith, was tracking him on her phone, though, and we knew when he finished and were very happy for him.
It was inspiring to see so many people completing the 26.2-mile race, especially given recent history.
The New York City marathon was canceled last year because of Hurricane Sandy.
And the bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April put everyone on alert that even triumph isnt immune from tragedy.
On the news Sunday there was talk of tight security at the finish line and, while there was a noticeable police presence throughout the day, it didnt change the festive nature of the race; thousands of spectators lined the course to cheer on their friends and family members.
Of course, in true New York fashion, just a few blocks away from the race, life in the city continued as normal. On Fifth Avenue, well-coifed and well-dressed natives hustled past tourists trundling in and out of the luxury shops and department stores. I was one of the tourists. I picked up a work shirt and a couple of sweaters from Uniqlo, a Japanese department store with startlingly affordable merchandise.
Being a part of the visiting masses was a marked departure from just one year ago.
Last November, I was still living in New York City.
At that point it had been my home for three-and-a-half years: the place where I went to college, and the place where I slowly began the transition from prolonged adolescence to something resembling adult life.
I arrived in Watertown just after Election Day last year. Its been a wonderful journey and Ive learned a tremendous amount. In some ways, Ive learned more in the one year working at the Watertown Daily Times than I learned in all those years of academic study.
Much has changed since I left: friends have gotten engaged and married, some with advance warning, others rather suddenly. People have made plans to move; some already have left and some will stay indefinitely.
Were all getting older. The Sunday night we spent this year quietly having a few drinks at a fake dive bar on 86th Street and Amsterdam, we would have spent last year getting properly soused at a real dive bar downtown.
Change is inevitable, I suppose, and in some cases, preferable.
But for a few short days, it was nice to be back among friends, in a familiar milieu, where inspiration and exhaustion are in equal supply.
As the runners passed by, I thought about how important, and yet how arbitrary are the ways we mark progress in our lives. There are ends to races, but the necessity is always to run on.
It is nice to celebrate the milestones, however.
New York City is a great place and Im glad I got to live there, but Im also glad that I get to live in Watertown, that Ive gotten to experience summer in the Thousand Islands, kayaking on the Black River, Tom and Jerrys for the holidays, skiing at Dry Hill and, yes, even lake-effect snow.
Now Im back on the Megabus, traveling north.
Bring on the election and bring on the next year.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will provide medical evaluations for patients with known or suspected metabolic and genetic disorders. It will allow NICHD investigators and trainees experience in diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with metabolic and genetic disorders who may not be eligible for an active NIH research trial. Participants in this protocol will only have tests and procedures used in the standard practice of medicine; there will be no experimental tests or treatments. Patients who are found eligible for an active research protocol will be offered participation in that study. The medical evaluations in this trial may uncover new disease processes that prompt new research initiatives.
People of all ages with a suspected or diagnosed genetic or metabolic condition may be eligible for this study. In addition, children with unexplained developmental delay, deafness, dysmorphism, congenital malformations, acidosis, failure to thrive, feeding problems, short stature, birth defects, and other syndromes of unknown cause may qualify.
Participants will have a medical history, including a family history, with possible review of previous medical records, and a physical examination. Other procedures may include:
- Consultation with medical specialists.
- Hearing and/or vision tests.
- Imaging studies, such as X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Blood drawing Blood samples (2 to 4 tablespoons from adults and 1 to 2 tablespoons from children) may be used for routine lab tests, genetic study, and other research purposes.
- Cheek swab DNA may be obtained by a cheek swab. A small brush is rubbed against the inside of the cheek to collect some cells.
- Skin biopsy Under local anesthetic, a small circle of skin (about 1/8-inch) is removed with a sharp cutting instrument similar to a cookie cutter.
- Muscle biopsy Under local anesthetic, a small piece of muscle tissue is removed to aid in diagnosis.
Participants will undergo only diagnostic procedures that are clinically indicated; that is, only tests needed to confirm or rule out a diagnosis will be done. Tissue samples collected for diagnostic purposes may also be used to obtain DNA for genetic studies and to establish cell lines (cells grown in the laboratory to be maintained indefinitely) for future research.
The results of the medical evaluation may indicate whether or not the participant has the disease that runs in the family (if a genetic disorder is indeed confirmed). Unless he or she requests otherwise, the subject (and parent in the case of a minor) will receive counseling regarding the test results. The implications of a positive test result will be explained, specifically, the participant s risk of having the disease, and the risk of passing the condition on to offspring.
Genetic Disorder
Metabolic Disease
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Studies of Pediatric Patients With Metabolic or Other Genetic Disorders
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2001
The aim of this protocol is to provide care for patients with a variety of rare genetic disorders, supplement and offer an additional opportunity for training in clinical genetics, dysmorphology and metabolic genetics in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and other Institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and spearhead the development of new research protocols on particular aspects of diagnosis and care for specific genetic diseases. Evaluations of patients with a broad spectrum of metabolic and genetic conditions will be performed. In addition, genetic counseling services will be offered to patients and their families to assess risk, and give information on preventive measures, and testing options. Disorders that will be studied include chromosomal and Mendelian disorders of childhood and/or adult onset, congenital anomalies and/or birth defects, dysmorphic syndromes, familial cancer syndromes, multifactorial disorders, and metabolic abnormalities. If not eligible for another NICHD research protocol (specific for a disease or a treatment), patients with genetic/metabolic-related conditions may be evaluated under the auspices of this protocol to advance the clinical skills of physicians participating in NICHD clinical research and training programs, and to provide stimuli for new clinical research initiatives. Standard, medically indicated laboratory or radiological studies may be performed to confirm a diagnosis or to aid in the management of the patient. In some cases, the patient will receive medical or surgical treatment for their disorder, according to current clinical practice. Patients and/or family members with genetic disorders may offer their DNA for storage and/or testing. The overall purpose of this protocol is to support our Institute s training and research missions by expanding the spectrum of diseases that can be seen in our clinics and wards.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 18 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Patients with suspected or diagnosed genetic and/or metabolic conditions of all ages are eligible for this protocol.
- In addition, children with unexplained developmental delay, deafness, dysmorphism, congenital malformations, acidosis, failure to thrive, feeding problems, short stature, birth defects, and other syndromes of sporadic or unknown etiology will qualify for this protocol.
- The actual selection of patients most appropriate for research and clinical training needs will be made by protocol investigators.
- Patients that their care requires resources not available at the NIH Clinical Center will not be eligible for the in-patient part of this study.
- There are no exclusions for the out-patient or DNA collection part of the study.

Man faces murder charge in boy's death
ROSEBURG, Ore. - The sheriff expects murder charges will be brought against a Douglas County man in the death of a 2-year-old boy who succumbed to a severe head injury early Friday morning.
The boy, Dennis James Young, had been hospitalized since Tuesday, first at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg before being taken to Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland.
Young had been on life support since arriving at OHSU on Wednesday, the sheriff's office said.
The boy died at the Portland hospital just after midnight Friday morning.
Detectives met with and interviewed the boy's mother and Mark Allen Vanderhoof, 50, in Portland. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office took Vanderhoof into custody Wednesday on a charge of first degree assault.
The sheriff expects those charges to be upgraded to murder sometime Friday.
Doctors reported the boy's injury was life-threatening and inconsistent with the explanation reported by Vanderhoof and his girlfriend, the boy's mother, Briana Lyn Snow, 31.
According to the affidavit for probable cause, Portland police and Douglas County Sheriff's deputies talked with Vanderhoof at the hospital and he, "admitted to striking Denis Young with sufficient force to cause the injuries to the child.
Snow was away from home Tuesday running errands while Vanderhoof watched the boy, the sheriff's office said. Vanderhoof called her and said she needed to come home right away because the boy had fallen off the front porch and hurt himself.
When she got home, she found her son unconscious and seriously injured. She called 911 for an ambulance.
On Wednesday afternoon, Vanderhoof was taken into custody and jailed on a First Degree Assault charges.
The Major Crimes Team continued the investigation, searching the home at 895 Mulberry Lane in the Lookingglass area of Douglas County on Thursday, Jan. 27.

The recent transfer of a Castle Height's teacher has caused quite an uproar amongst parents. I for one do not have a child in the grade affected however, I understand what these parents are going through. In fact, this is not the first time that the Carbon County School District has pulled this same stunt in recent history.
Last year, Wellington fourth grade students experienced a similar hardship when they found out several weeks into the school year that they would lose a teacher. My daughter who attended the school and had done so since kindergarten, was moved from an average class size to a significantly larger class when the district transferred a teacher to a different position in the district.
It was because of small class sizes that I had transported my child for over four years from Price to Wellington every day regardless of living in the Castle Heights boundaries. I soon found out that this effort was in vain.
Parents found out about the Wellington change the evening prior to the downsizing with a letter sent home with the students. What a way to break the news in a delicate and professional manner.
Because of the sudden change, phone calls began to pour into the school and the district office. As a parent, I wanted answers and just like the Castle Height's parents, all I got was excuses and the runaround. The only real form of communication that we got at the time came through our children. At least this time around, district officials decided to meet face to face with parents.
It seems like what is going on currently at Castle Heights is a replay from last year at Wellington. This leads me to wonder what the school district does during the summer break. Obviously they don't organize and prepare their schools properly for the children they serve.
I understand the frustration that parents are currently feeling. I have been there and can relate. In fact, the change had such a dramatic affect on my daughter that we transferred her from Wellington to Castle Heights the day following the change. This was a change that was for the best. She has excelled and loves Castle Heights.
Even though this might seem like a set back now, in the long run student's will become stronger just as my daughter has. This is thanks to the resilience of children and no thanks to the school officials who think they are acting in the kid's best interest.
It seems to me that the school district should be as concerned about our children's needs as they claim to be. If they are so worried about our children's education, then they should work a few weeks in the summer to make teacher adjustments before the school year begins.

Ryan Strome Named OHL Player of the Month
Ryan Strome, who might have gotten a long look on LI this year (or still may depending on how things go), is tearing up the OHL this season. It's his fourth year in the OHL and he's on pace to beat all of his career highs that made him a top draft pick in 2011. Through 30 games, Strome leads the entire league in points by a wide margin. He's got 59 points (20-39-59) with London's Seth Griffin nine points behind in second place.
Strome was on fire in November, scoring 35 points in only 13 games. He's also on a 14-game point streak and was named the OHL's Player of the Month.

|Watauga Deputy Narrowly Escapes Wreck as Suspect Vehicle Overturns
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 22 January 2011 18:28
A Watauga Deputy narrowly escaped injury as a vehicle nearly ran into his patrol car on Georges Gap Road at the intersection of Old 421 late Saturday afternoon.
Two WCSO cars were seeking the suspects, according to the Trooper T.B. Hendrix of the State Patrol, when the suspect vehicle sped away and quickly turned—then the driver lost control right as they met the sheriff's department patrol cars, the out of control car nearly hitting Sgt. Absher's vehicle. The Jeep Cherokee the suspect was driving overturned right at the bridge at old 421 and Georges Gap Road. The Driver was identified as 22-year old Corey Paul Brown of Vilas, his passenger 38-year old Jody Danner of Zionville. Trooper Hendrix said that the Jeep was traveling 15 to 20mph over the speed limit at the time of the wreck, and he issued a citation for reckless driving against Brown, while the Watauga Deputies cited him for DWI. There were slight injuries reported for the two in the overturned Jeep, the injured transported by Watauga Medics to Watauga Medical Center—accompanied by deputies and the state patrol investigating the incident.

Indiana State University offers a master of public administration (M.P.A.) for working professionals who have experience in public or nonprofit organizations and now seek a graduate-level degree for career advancement.
Most of our students are mid-career, full-time employees of public or non-profit organizations. The M.P.A. is meant to enhance their ability to:
In addition to the M.P.A., the University offers online graduate certificate programs in public administration and public personnel administration. Courses in either of these certificate programs can be applied toward completion of the master of public administration.
Courses are delivered via the Internet by two methods: by purely asynchronous web format and by web-based videoconferencing. The elective course may be offered in either format.
Four core courses (PA 601, 605, 606, and 607) are entirely asynchronous Web courses.
Three other core courses (PA 600, PA 602, PA 604) require students to log in as participants in a Web-based conference during weekly class meetings. However, these courses are also posted in the online platform, Blackboard, used by all Web-based programs at ISU.
Students may log into courses in Blackboard at any time to send and receive emails, view assignments, and join class discussions. Students must have access to the following to enter classes with web-based videoconferencing components:
All courses are offered online. On-campus visits are not required. High-speed Internet access is required.[ list all ]
This program is open to in-state and many out-of-state students. This program is closed to all students residing abroad (including international students) except for U.S. military and State Department personnel and their family members with APO/FPO addresses.
Applicants must satisfy the following minimum requirements:
Please note that while the minimum accepted GPA is 2.75, the average GPA of students accepted into the program is higher. Also note, however, that GPA is just one of several variables the M.P.A. admission committee considers when reviewing admission applications. We may admit conditionally students who have promise but whose undergraduate GPAs may fall under 2.75.
Applicants who do not possess the public or nonprofit experience (listed above) required of all online students are invited to complete the M.P.A Program on the Indiana State University campus, located in Terre Haute, Indiana. The on-campus M.P.A. Program enables students to satisfy the work experience requirement by completing a three-hour, semester-long internship at a site determined by the M.P.A. director. This internship option is open only to on-campus students.
Applicants may submit unofficial transcripts to the department during the application process. However, unconditional admission may only be granted if official transcripts from the applicant's undergraduate institution have been submitted and are on file with ISU.
Contact Indiana State Online (below) for more information. The program may require evidence of experience as a part of the admissions process. Evidence may be included in letters of reference from past or present employers and colleagues; in resumes or curricula vitae; or in written statements from employers.
The Political Science Department regards a TOEFL of 600 (or the equivalent) as evidence of English proficiency from students whose first language is not English. Please note that this is higher than the default standard 550 TOEFL required for admission to graduate study by ISU's graduate school. International students with undergraduate degrees from certain countries, or whose undergraduate study was done in English, may be exempt from the TOEFL requirement.
International students who, in the opinion of the admissions committee, do not meet the program's minimum standards for spoken and written English, may choose to take intensive language training at the InterLink Language Center at Indiana State before entering the program The department may admit international students to the program provisionally, on the condition that they successfully complete English training at InterLink. Provisionally admitted students who fail to complete their InterLink programs successfully may not be admitted to M.P.A. study. Students who complete InterLink training will be enrolled in M.P.A. courses during the next semester or summer term after they complete InterLink.
The University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
The Public Administration Program was established as a semi-autonomous unit within ISU's Department of Political Science in 1976. The full-time director of the public administration program manages both the M.P.A. degree program and the two PA certificate programs, and advises students. The program is currently a member of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) and is associated with the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA).
IMPORTANT: Official transcripts, admission application, application fee, and (if applicable) language proficiency test scores such as the TOEFL should be submitted directly to Indiana State University, Graduate Admissions, Welcome Center, 318 North 6th Street, Terre Haute, IN 47809. E-transcripts should be sent to email@example.com All other documentation (including unofficial transcripts, letters, statement of purpose, and unofficial scores from tests such as the GRE) should be uploaded into the online admission system. Letters of recommendation may be uploaded into the system or sent directly to Dr. Stan Buchanan, Associate Professor, Director, M.P.A. Program, Indiana State University, Holmstedt Hall, room 306, Terre Haute, IN 47809.
The M.P.A. Program accepts applications for student enrollment throughout the year. There are no application deadlines. The M.P.A. admissions committee meets on a monthly basis, except for August and December, to review applications completed in the previous 30 days. Admission requests are then reviewed by the Dean of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies (CGPS). But normally, applicants should receive word of the final admission decision within a few days after the admissions committee meets.

ReWire Tutorial Article Cubase - Introduction: What is ReWire?
ReWire is a system for transferring audio data from one application to another, in real time. Basically, you could view ReWire as an "invisible audio cable" that connects two computer programs.
ReWire allows you to stream audio in real time from Reason to a ReWire host application (such as Cubase), play/stop and move the playback cursor with both programs in perfect sync.
ReWire also provides for sending MIDI data between two applications (in both directions). This allows you to send MIDI from the ReWire host to Reason, for external MIDI control of Reason's instrument and effect devices.
On the following pages we'll walk you through the process of setting up a ReWire session with Reason and Steinberg Cubase.

School Wars: new edition published…
Posted October 26, 2012on:
If you didn't catch it the first time, you might be interested now?
School Wars: The Battle for Britain's Education
The story of the struggle for Britain's schools, and a passionate call for education as a public good.
School Wars tells the story of the struggle for Britain's education system. Established during the 1960s and based on the progressive ideal of good schools for all, the comprehensive system has over the past decades come under sustained attack from successive governments.
From the poorest comprehensives to the most well-resourced independent schools, School Wars takes a forensic look at the inequalities of our current system, the damaging impact of spending cuts, the rise of "free schools" and the growth of the private sector in education. Melissa Benn explores, too, the dangerous example of US education reform, where privatization, punitive accountability and the rise of charter schools have intensified social, economic and ethnic divisions.
The policies of successive British governments have been muddled and confused, but one thing is clear: that the relentless application of market principles signals a fundamental shift from the ideal of quality education as a public good, to education as market-controlled commodity. Benn ends by outlining some key principles for restoring strong educational values within a fair, non-selective public education system.
And here are some of the reviews:
"In this polemic, Benn sets herself up as a one-woman commission of inquiry, analyzing the social, political, and financial case for comprehensive schooling in a climate of spending cuts and a culture of privatization."
– The Times
"This is a tremendous book. It is a passionate polemic about the most important policy divide of the day … It is powerful but also reasonably argued … [and] marks her out as one of Britain's foremost advocates of comprehensive education."
– Anthony Seldon, Observer
"Benn's book could well be an important watershed. It is a clear-sighted re-statement of why universal, comprehensive education is – obviously – the best option. It should, and hopefully will, be taken as a rallying call to the left."
– Phil Beadle, Independent
"An exceptionally well-informed, cogent, and spirited account of the debates over secondary education in Britain."
– Stefan Collini, Nation
"If you read just one book on education this year, then make sure it's School Wars by Melissa Benn. Brilliantly researched and compellingly written."
– Roy Blatchford, Director of the National Education Trust
For more reviews and discussion of the themes of the book, please go to Verso's website.

Hello Melissa, I am interested in purchasing your book. I have been informed that this is a good book to read for those interested in Comprehensive education. Where is the best place to obtain it, please.

Shoppers grab Twinkies, as they go for $100 on eBay
Don't Waste Your Money
A cornerstone of America is shutting down.
The stunning announcement from Hostess that it is shutting down and liquidating all its factories is sending shock waves through communities, its workers, and their families on the eve of the holiday season.
It's the result of a bankruptcy and labor dispute, where the company threatened to close if workers would not accept pay cuts and other concessions. The workers stood firm, saying they have already accepted cuts in pay and benefits.
So the company Friday morning said it has no choice but to close, laying off more than 18,000 employees.
What happens to Twinkies?
But for millions of Americans who grew up on Wonder Bread and Twinkies, there is a bigger issue: what will happen to the snack foods of their childhood?
As of Friday morning, some would-be entrepeneurs were asking $100 or more on eBay for a box of Twinkies. Seriously. Someone had a "Buy Now Price of $500."
No one was nibbling, yet.
Twitter lit up immediately following the announcement, with some tweeting:
"Oh no!"
"Now I'm mad I ate that last Twinkie!"
"No more Twinkies, no more Ho Ho's, no more reason to live!"
Grocery stores are getting calls from consumers asking if the still have Twinkies on their shelves. If they do, they may not by the end of the weekend.
Americans have grown up on Twinkies, Ho Ho's, Hostess Fruit Pie, and those Hostess cupcakes with the white swirl across the chocolate frosting. Who can forget mom setting them out on the table, with a glass of milk, after a long day at school?
If you live on the East Coast, you probably grew up on their Drakes brands, such as Devil Dogs, Yodels, and Ring Dings.
Hostess also makes Dolly Madison snack cakes, and Wonder Bread. Remember how popular Wonder bread used to be? All will be impacted by the closing.
But its market has been shrinking for years, as shoppers turned away from sugary snack foods. Sales have dropped year after year, until the company was forced to file for Bankruptcy.
Brands May Survive
But ye who live on Twinkies, do not despair.
CNN/Money reports that some of the iconic Hostess brands, such as Twinkies and Devil Dogs, will survive, because other companies will buy the "intellectual rights" to those brands at liquidation.
It's possible we could see Twinkies back on the shelves within a matter of months once another bakery buys the brand. This is what happened to Drake's cakes a few years ago when Hostess became its rescuer.
But until then, expect to see fans hoarding the remaining stock as the formerly-ignored Twinkie suddenly becomes the most in-demand food item this holiday season.
Baby boomers will no doubt take a break from their diets to snap up the remaining boxes of the snack that embodied their youth.
As always, don't waste your money.

Alexandria J. Haehl, her parents and her grandparents stuffed their cars with everything she would need for a 15-week stay and drove more than two hours from Old Forge to St. Lawrence University, Canton, on Sunday.
Im really excited, said Miss Haehl, a freshman living away from home for the first time. She is spending her first few days in the north country rock climbing and golfing before her classes in International Studies begin.
Its really easy to move in here; theres lots of people helping me all the time, she said.
Miss Haehl is one of thousands of students who flock to St. Lawrence County at summers end. They fill campus bookstores, haul furniture into dorms from the back of packed cars and hug their parents goodbye as another school year begins.
No matter which of the countys four colleges they attend, returning students will be encounter new programs, projects and people when they arrive on campus.
Perhaps the most marked change is the two new presidents who will steer the countys SUNY colleges through the year ahead. Joseph C. Hoffman will lead SUNY Canton as acting president, and Dennis L. Hefner takes the reins at SUNY Potsdam as interim president. Both started their jobs in June.
SUNY Canton has begun a search for a new president; Mr. Hoffman is eligible to take the position permanently and may be considered in the search.
SUNY Potsdam received permission from the SUNY system to begin its search earlier this month, and a search committee is being created.
This is going to be a collaborative effort with all segments of the campus, said SUNY Potsdam College Council chairwoman June F. ONeill.
Mr. Hefner will return to retirement as soon as a successor is found.
Meanwhile, two major construction projects are nearing completion at SUNY Potsdam. The $8.7 million renovation of the Maxcy Hall ice arena will wrap up in early November, and the Department of Theatre and Dance is preparing for the opening of a $48 million Performing Arts Center in the spring.
At Clarkson University, Potsdam, the biggest change is happening off campus the college is expanding its distance learning program.
While distance learning once was offered only to students pursuing MBA degrees, soon all of Clarksons graduate programs will be available online.
Ten such programs already have been approved. Students can use a number of software programs and websites to complete their coursework without ever setting foot on campus.
This will enable you to get a job while taking some classes online and essentially graduating and completing your degree completely online, said Kerop D. Janoyan, director of distance learning at Clarkson.
The last few years have brought enough advances that technical problems no longer are of great concern, Mr. Janoyan said.
Technology has come a long way. You can do a lot of things primarily through virtual labs, he said.
The true challenge comes when trying to decide how to best teach the necessary information in an unusual setting.
How do we deliver the course material and serve the students the best, both on campus and online? Mr. Janoyan asked.
Final numbers are not in yet, but dozens are expected to enroll in the programs first year.
St. Lawrence University has introduced a new major, the Business in Liberal Arts degree, for students who want to learn business skills while pursuing a traditional liberal arts degree.
Construction continues on SLUs new $13 million residence hall. The hall will be heated and cooled by environmentally friendly geothermal wells. Drilling on the 450-foot deep wells has begun.
Classes at all four colleges begin this week.

RANGELEY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine's October moose hunt is in full swing, and not only are hundreds of bulls and cows being harvested, but a bounty of information about potentially deadly diseases is being gathered as well.
"We ended up deciding to take a look at both deer and moose as species we could use as surveillance projects, to look for the disease where it might be occurring and see if the disease is even happening in years where we don't have any human or livestock cases occurring," explained Chuck Lubelczyk, a biologist at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute's Vector Borne Disease Lab.
Seven mosquito pools in southern Maine tested positive for West Nile Virus this year in five different communities. In addition, Eastern Equine Encephalitis swept through a flock of pheasants in the town of Lebanon. With only twenty-six test sites scattered through the state, experts believe there are many more areas where the diseases occured, but were not detected.
"There could be animals, wildlife, dropping from these diseases every year. We never see them because they are out in the woods," said Lubelczyk. "It certainly has the potential to be a wildlife problem as well."
For the past few years, biologists with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife have teamed up with researchers from Maine Med, college students and guides to gather blood samples from moose, deer and even some turkeys at tagging stations throughout the state to get a better handle on how widespread the problem is.
"The numbers have been anywhere from about 8 to 12%, which for a disease prevalence rate is fairly high," said Lubelczyk. "I think what it is telling us is we have parts of the state where these diseases are cycling every year, and the real question for us is, why is it some years that - if these diseases are here every year - why do they jump into the human or livestock population?"
The blood samples are shipped to the federal Centers for Disease Control for testing, and the results are put into databases to help researchers determine what factors play a role in how the disease travels and where are people and animals at highest risk of contracting the disease.
Lubelczyk says they have seen positive tests in wildlife come from areas where no cases have ever been recorded, as far north as Fort Kent and Madawaska in Aroostook County.
He says by better understanding the nature of the diseases, they hope they can help protect people and animals from becoming sick in the future.

Psychic Self-Defense, by Dion Fortune
By Gesigewigu's | Leave a comment
Psychic Self-Defense: The Classic Instruction Manual for Protecting Yourself Against Paranormal Attack, by Dion Fortune Weiser, 9781578635092, 238pp., 1930, 2001"This is a warning to the curious: Times, points of view, and fashions change, but never principles." I doubt Dion Fortune knew how true those words would be eighty years after she wrote Psychic Self-Defense. A lot has changed in the world, both the mundane and magickal landscape are drastically different from her time, so much so that it can be hard to see how relevant this book remains today.The book is divided into four sections. Part I deals with the types of psychic attack, such as witchcraft, vampirism, and when ceremonial magick goes wrong. It also deals with the signs of the attack and analyzing the nature, figuring out what type of attack it is. Part II deals with differential diagnosis or the other things that could be going on. Part III tackles diagnosing the attack in detail, how they are made, and the motives. Lastly, Part IV is what you'd expect from a book with this title, methods of defence.Part IV deals with a variety of methods, starting off from simple to more complex. The beginner reading this book can learn how to make Holy Water (provided they are Christian), or using garlic to absorb a negative psychic atmosphere. Getting more complex (but more common in this day) you get the Qabalastic Cross and LBRP, as well as creating magickal circles. Finally she touches upon destroying thought forms, and dealing angels, and the "Occult Police." Read More

Tomorrow night the Rangers will commence their playoff run with
Game 1 against the Washington Capitals at 7:30.
New York
squeaked into the playoffs on Saturday by beating the New Jersey Devils and
getting help from the Tampa Bay Lightning, who beat the Carolina Hurricanes
6-2. But that's all in the past
now. The team is focused squarely on Washington, and they'll
get their first shot against Michal Neuvirth tomorrow night. Neuvirth shared time with Semyon Varlamov and
Braden Holtby during the regular season, but Varlamov missed much of the season
with a string of injuries and Holtby was up and down from the AHL. Neuvirth will get Game 1 against the Rangers,
but he'll likely have a short leash given Varlamov's past success against New York, and he knows
it. That could be a big advantage for New York early.
Mike Green is also set to return to the Capitals' lineup
after sitting out since February with a concussion he suffered from a Derek
Stepan elbow during the last meeting between these two teams. It's anyone's guess how Green will perform - he
had a rocky season even when he was healthy - but when Green is going he adds
another dimension to the Capitals' offense from the blue line.
Those are the big subplots from Washington's camp, but the Rangers would be
better off ignoring both. The Blueshirts
should be focused on trying to play their game because they've had success
doing just that against the Capitals already this year. That means New York must come out with its typical
tenacious forecheck, the Rangers must contain Alex Ovechkin, and they must find
a way to generate some offense to take the pressure off Henrik Lundqvist.
The key to this game may well be special teams. Power plays often make or break teams at this
time of year, and against an obviously more talented team, the Rangers will
have to capitalize on their opportunities and hold Washington off the scoresheet to have a
chance. The Rangers are one for their
last 27 with the extra man, so getting off to a strong start on the pp will be
of particular importance because it will set the tone for the rest of the
Here are the lines the Rangers used during practice today
(per Andrew Gross), although John Tortorella says he won't disclose any
definite information about his lineup prior to the game:
Vinny Prospal-Artem Anisimov-Marian Gaborik
Brandon Dubinsky-Derek Stepan-Ruslan Fedotenko
Wojtek Wolski-Brian Boyle-Brandon Prust
Mats Zuccarello/Sean Avery-Erik Christensen-Chris Drury
And the Capitals' lines (from Tom Gulitti via Andrew Gross):
Alex Ovechkin-Nicklas Backstrom-Mike Knuble
Marco Sturm-Jason Arnott-Alex Semin
Brooks Laich-Marcus Johansson-Jason Chimera
Matt Hendricks-Boyd Gordon-Matt Bradley

Check this one out. The price is (Yikes!!!!) 169 bucks. I think it will be easier to go to local old hardware shops and buy Sun KBD and Mouse and will be much more cheaper.

LEWISTON, N.Y. -- The Village of Lewiston's Police Chief says it's a big mistake if the village board ends its contract with its town police force, and signs with the Niagara County Sheriff's Department to save taxpayers money.
A meeting took place Thursday night with the village board and the Niagara County Sheriff without any consultation with the current village police chief, who requested to be present at the meeting. The Town of Lewiston currently provides police protection in the village.
Village Chief Christopher Salada says now is certainly not the time to switch coverage in the Village of Lewiston and have sheriff's deputies patrol the area.
"The Village of Lewiston is not growing population wise, but the visitors that come are growing rapidly, now is not the time to slim down public safety," said Salada.
We spoke with Niagara County Sheriff James Voutour after the meeting and he told us he advised the board to try to negotiate a resolution with the town first before exploring future options.

What They Say About Five Pointe O
Posted on February 12, 2008What the online community is saying about Five Pointe O's debut release (i.e. not one word from our trap):
"Five Pointe O will assault you with death metal and hardcore battery, and seduce you with heartfelt metalcore/emo melodies, as they recklessly tear through musical sequences inspired by every branch of modern metal. www.uraniummusic.com
"From epic dirges to in your face vehemence, "Untitled" runs the gamut of sound and emotion." www.theprp.com
"The art created within the confines of "Untitled" will draw you into a web of devastating beauty that will leave you shaking and disoriented." www.the-eko.com
"This six piece is looking to create destructive and emotional mayhem. With the piercing 'King of the Hill', the tribal drumming and cranking riffs in 'Purity 01' to the slow, hard hitting unity in 'Sympathetic Climate Control' you will feel the beast and beauty that this band can throw at you." www.eastcoastromper.com "…this hardcore outfit from the Windy City rages, yet unlike other hardcore outfits of this ilk, they also have an operatic quality." www.nyrock.com
"The bottom line, Five Pointe O bring something new and different to the plate and are well worth your attention…" www.antimusic.com
"By blending melody, beautifully crafted song writing and death metal growls, the end result is truly amazing." www.noizepollution.com
"Five Pointe O combine a startling mix of different metal forms - modern metal, hardcore, double-kick thrash and more- to create destructive and emotional mayhem that will no doubt get this band recognized over the next year or so." www.inverse-music.com
"Five Pointe O has a full CD that is packed with raw energy and emotion that transpires itself into a sound that is unmatched by any other band in today's music scene" www.nosebleed17.com
"'Untitled' can appeal universally--to any kind of fan, be it nu-metal, metalcore, metal, or and even fans of electronic metal and things like that, which is one of the many admirable things about Five Pointe 0." www.undevoured.com
"It is this no holds barred approach that makes 'Untitled' an album, not one hit and 10 other filler songs. I have always thought that music was something more then just something to dance or mosh to. Five Pointe O proves my theory correct." www.megakungfu.com

|Elections Meeting Draws Raucous Crowd
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 12 August 2013 11:56
To say that the Watauga Board of Elections meeting was contentious would be, well, an understatement. First, so many green-clad residents came that the meeting, first scheduled for the Commissioners meeting room, then moved the conference table in the Board of Elections Office,
had to be moved back to the commissioners room, which was then filled to capacity. And things quickly degenerated from there. Issues included changing duties of Elections Director Jane Hodges, a resolution to have only written comments before the Board of Elections, and changes of one-stop voting. Reactions led to newly-elected chairman Luke Eggers reading the riot act. A series of 2 to 1 votes passed all the contentious resolutions, including only written comments from the public, the more restrictive one-stop voting, combining three Boone precincts to one—votes that Board member Kathleen Campbell listed came after a number of potentially illegal actions taken by the two Republican members of the board, including "Illegal meetings, secret meetings, prior to this to put together all their materials. They refused to give me a copy—it's totally corrupt." She said the actions may bring legal challenges.

Dear Life: Storiesby Alice Munro
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A brilliant new collection of stories from one of the most acclaimed and beloved writers of our time.
With her peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but spacious and timeless stories, Alice Munro illumines the moment a life is shaped — the moment a dream, or sex, or perhaps a simple twist of fate turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into another way of being. Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these stories (set in the world Munro has made her own: the countryside and towns around Lake Huron) about departures and beginnings, accidents, dangers, and homecomings both virtual and real, paint a vivid and lasting portrait of how strange, dangerous, and extraordinary the ordinary life can be.
"Joan Didion once said 'I didn't want to see life reduced to a short story... I wanted to see life expanded to a novel.' Didion had her own purposes, but Munro readers know that the dichotomy between expansive novel and compressed short story doesn't hold in her work. Munro (Too Much Happiness) can depict key moments without obscuring the reality of a life filled with countless other moments — told or untold. In her 13th collection, she continues charting the shifts in norms that occur as WWII ends, the horses kept for emergencies go out of use, small towns are less isolated, and then gradually or suddenly, nothing is quite the same. There are no clunkers here, and especially strong stories include 'Train,' 'To Reach Japan,' 'Haven,' and 'Corrie.' And for the first time, Munro writes about her childhood, in the collection's final four pieces, which she describes as 'not quite stories.... I believe they are the first and last — and the closest — things I have to say about my own life.' These feature the precision of her fiction with the added interest of revealing the development of Munro's eye and her distance from her surroundings, both key, one suspects, in making her the writer she is. While many of these pieces appeared in the New Yorker, they read differently here; not only has Munro made changes, but more importantly, read together, the stories accrete, deepen, and speak to each other." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"It's no surprise that every story in the latest collection by Canada's Munro is rewarding and that the best are stunning. They leave the reader wondering how the writer manages to invoke the deepest, most difficult truths of human existence in the most plainspoken language....The author knows what matters, and the stories pay attention to it." Kirkus, starred review
"Unreserved praise for the continued wonderment provided by arguably the best short-story writer in English today....On whatever level of reader familiarity Munro is working, in every story she finds new ways to make the lives of ordinary people compelling." Booklist, starred review
"With her penetrating new collection, Alice Munro demonstrates once again why she deserves her reputation as a master of short fiction....'This is not a story, only life,' declares the protagonist of the title narrative. With the subtlety and complexity of Munro's writing, it's hard to tell the difference." Pamela Newtown, O Magazine
While most of these stories take place in Munro's home territory — the small Canadian towns around Lake Huron — the characters sometimes venture to the cities, and the book ends with four pieces set in the area where she grew up, and in the time of her own childhood: stories "autobiographical in feeling, though not, sometimes, entirely so in fact." A girl who can't sleep imagines night after wakeful night that she kills her beloved younger sister. A mother snatches up her child and runs for dear life when a crazy woman comes into her yard.
About the Author
Alice Munro grew up in Wingham, Ontario, and attended the University of Western Ontario. She has published fourteen collections of stories as well as a novel, Lives of Girls and Women. During her distinguished career she has been the recipient of many awards and prizes, including three of Canada's Governor General's Literary Awards and two of its Giller Prizes, the Rea Award for the Short Story, the Lannan Literary Award, England's W. H. Smith Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Man Booker International Prize. In 2013 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Paris Review, Granta, and other publications, and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages. She lives in Clinton, Ontario, near Lake Huron.
