|AIMS: There is conflicting evidence on the impact of gender on reperfusion after primary coronary angioplasty (PPCI), and on left ventricular (LV) remodelling (LVR). In a cohort of patients with reperfused ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), gender-related differences on myocardial reperfusion, and sex-related differences on LVR were assessed by using a comprehensive cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) approach. METHODS AND RESULTS: In four tertiary referral centres, 283 (238 males and 45 females) consecutive STEMI patients, treated with PPCI within 12 h from symptoms onset underwent CMR 3 ± 2 days after STEMI and at 4-month follow-up. By CMR, the area at risk, infarct size (IS), microvascular obstruction (MVO), and myocardial salvage index (MSI) were assessed. Women were older than men (P = 0.014), more hypertensive (P < 0.001) and more frequently presented with pre-infarct angina (P = 0.018). An MSI extent was significantly higher (P = 0.013), IS was significantly smaller at both time points (acute P < 0.001, follow-up P < 0.001), and the MVO extent was significantly smaller (P < 0.001) in women. At multivariate analysis, Killip class and female sex were independently associated with a higher MSI (P = 0.02, P = 0.05, respectively). A similar incidence of LVR in both sexes was observed at follow-up (P = 0.808). CONCLUSIONS: The better reperfusion pattern observed in women by CMR in our population of reperfused STEMI suggests sex-based differences exist. No gender differences were observed with respect to incidence of LV remodelling at the follow-up mainly occurring in the subset of patients with a larger IS.

|GDC - Forza Motorsport 2 Preview
Forza Motorsport 2 - Preview
For men, it is probably one of their most prized possessions in the whole world if not their sole most prized. Yes, we are talking about the automobile. For the car enthusiast out there, they love nothing more than to see cars going around the same track over and over; washing their baby every weekend and giving it a wax job so it looks fresh and new; giving it that new pine scented air freshener to always keep her smelling nice; and they'll become enraged at the slightest nick or graze. If you've got a gear head in your life (or are one yourself) be prepared to say goodbye to reality once Forza Motorsport 2 ships out, because you'll be lost in the endless realism of this car nut's dream.
"Car lust" - it was the one single term that the developers wanted to stress about the game as they showed it off, and it seems as if that "car lust" is the exact thing they achieved based on the preview seen behind closed doors at this year's GDC. So let's get nailing out some of these facts: 300 cars. The Acura Integra, Ferrari, Porsche, Mazerati, '69 Camaro SS, and Classic European cars just to name a few of the cars to be included in the game, but that fails to mention the fact that every car in the game will be customizable.
The customizing ability of Forza 2 seems to be a huge selling point of the game, as they've included several things to not only improve your ability to customize your vehicles, but also the ways in which the community can come together to trade and share paint jobs. In general, if you played the first one you'll probably be familiar with the controls and abilities of the customizer, but the one new thing they made mention of was the ability to now select multiple layers of your paint job at one time and change them and move them around.
The developers actually delved a bit more into the community aspect of the customization feature than the actual customization ability of the game. For starters, you can now take a picture of your customized car and post it to the game's website so you can show off your pimped our ride and show why you are the best customizer out there. Much like Project Gotham Racing there will now be a Spectator mode, where you can jump in to watch these pretty, customized cars go round and round. Though you can do anything with the paint job, the developers stressed you'll only be able to change the guts of the car as to what would be possible for that car in real life. But you will now be able to finally swap drivetrains if you want. So what's the point of it all? Well, you'll get to make the ultimate car to smoke competitors and friends online and look good doing it, but you'll also be able to use the newly done Auction House to sell your cars. Now you'll be able to buy a car, paint it up, put it on auction, and have people bid on it with in-game credits. You can also give away cars for free, but hey, who doesn't want more money? In theory, you could buy a pretty average car, spruce it up all nice, make a nice bank of change on it, then use that money to buy the really good car you want in the game.
Okay, so the customization is covered, but what about the actual driving and racing? The physics for Forza 2 have been ratcheted up from the 60 FPS of the original to the 300 FPS for the sequel. And all that extra physics is going to make sure that everything in the game feels as realistic as possible, so you'll be feeling every bump as you tackle the 45 courses that will be available in the game (some reverses included in that). Actually, tires seemed to get a major acknowledgment this time around, as they worked with top tire designers to get info on the physics of how tires work, so you'll feel every bump, load sensitivity will be realized, and you'll get to see and experience real tire telemetry through the HUD system, which depending on which HUD you are using, will show off the telemetry of a wide variety of stats. Tires will also heat up based on pressure, which will affect the inner, middle, and outer portions of all your tires. Tire burns will also be seen on the track, but it is based on a time/amount system, so if you only did one tire burn throughout the whole race it will be there until the end of the race, but if you are burning up your tires from the beginning to the end of a race, the ones you might've left at the beginning will have disappeared for the later ones you placed down.
The Forza 2 developers also talked to us about how many people think car manufacturers are so protective of their mechanical babies that they won't let game designers crash them up and wreck them, but they said they have such a good relationship with all the companies represented in the game that they had no problem getting the okay to crash up these machines, because you'll be able to have fully damaged cars that slowly get worse and worse over time, and if your car is wrecked enough, will even fail to move and finish the race.
The developers also gave up some more general info, such as they have plans to have cars and tracks as downloadable content (though nothing about pricing or when this would start); Achievements won't really be for such things as number one ranked racer in the world, but more for how many cars you've collected; and though the game is still a racing simulation first and foremost, they did add increased assists to help the players adjust who may be more used to the arcade styled racers.

Tofu offers a healthful vegetarian alternative to turkey for your Thanksgiving celebration. / Gannett News Service
If theres one thing were thinking, talking and preparing for this month, it is the upcoming Thanksgiving feast.
Its an American tradition to give thanks and indulge in our favorite festive foods this time of year. And, as our nation continues to expand its palate with new ingredients, cooking styles and preferences, the Thanksgiving spread is shifting, too. Some guests might prefer vegan or vegetarian selections, while others might require nut- or gluten-free dishes.
As the executive chef at Mohonk Mountain House, my goal on Thanksgiving (and every other day) is for everyone to enjoy a delicious and delightful meal that suits their needs. And with our resort often welcoming more than 500 guests for this special meal, its a tall order.
Its a challenge our kitchen embraces an opportunity to create dishes that offer new interpretations of traditional Thanksgiving favorites. Very often only simple tweaks are needed to transform classic family recipes, for instance using gluten-free bread in the stuffing, or swapping chicken broth for a vegetable-based broth.
One of the best resources for creating colorful Thanksgiving dishes is our own backyard, the spectacular Hudson Valley. Thats right; the Hudson Valley fosters some of most incredible ingredients and high-quality fall produce on the East Coast. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to lend extra support to our local farmers.
Check out the Hudson Valley Food Network (www.hvfoodnetwork.com) for a complete listing of farmers markets in our region.
As the holiday feast draws near, and youre busy designing a menu that welcomes all dietary inclinations, I want to share a dish thats a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Its a saffron-basmati rice pilaf, topped with a tangy, tart cranberry lime chutney.
While a pilaf is not traditionally served on Thanksgiving, this recipe evokes the seasons best flavors with sautéed garlic, onions, carrots, celery and peas, not to mention the cranberries. It also happens to be vegan and gluten-free. This dish is a gift that all your guests will be thankful for best wishes to all for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Saffron-basmati rice pilaf with tofu and cranberry lime chutney
2 cups basmati rice
1 teaspoon saffron threads chopped
4 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 small onion finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced carrots
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1/4 cup fresh shucked peas
1/2 cup diced tofu
Sauté garlic, onions, celery and carrots in olive oil. Add saffron threads and rice, toss. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until rice is soft. Keep warm. Just before serving fold in peas and tofu.
Cranberry lime chutney ingredients
4 ounces fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 ounces rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 ounce fresh lime juice
In a small saucepan, boil sugar, vinegar, cinnamon stick and ginger. Add cranberries and cook out until soft but still chunky. Remove from heat. Add lime juice and serve atop rice. Serves four.

Suffolk County police expanded the search Thursday for evidence on Ocean Parkway while reiterating that it will take weeks, if not longer, for investigators to learn the identities of four women who were found dead in Gilgo Beach this week.
The parkway is closed both east and west bound Thursday as investigators continued to comb the brush on the eastern end of Jones Beach Island. Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer, who said Tuesday cops believe the cases to be connected to a possible serial killer on Long Island, also urged the public to remain calm.
Long Island Serial Killer: Are Dead Bodies More Important than Missing Girls?
"I don't want everyone to think that we have a Jack the Ripper running around Suffolk County with blood dropping from a knife," Dormer told reporters at a news conference at the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's office in Smithtown. "Go about your business, don't worry about this."
Dormer said that New York State police brought in 10 cadaver dogs to help search the area surrounding the quarter-mile stretch of beachfront roadway on the north side of the barrier island where the grisly discoveries were made. The search area has been expanded to include the south side of the island as well as points further east and west.
"We want to cover all the areas of interest," Dormer said.
A Suffolk County medical examiner said extracting DNA samples from skeletal remains to test for potential matches could take up to a month. If no match is found, the last resort would be facial reconstruction. Officials declined to discuss specifics regarding the condition of the bodies, but noted that there are many variables that go into the forensic work being conducted.
"There are many environmental factors that affect remains that are left outside," said Yvonne Milewski, a Suffolk medical examiner.
Police have already removed an SUV from an Oak Beach home of Joseph Brewer, where missing New Jersey prostitute Shannan Gilbert was last seen. Officers were searching for evidence in her case when they initially discovered skeletal remains Saturday.
A phone listing under the homeowner's name has been disconnected. Dormer said there are currently no suspects in the case.
That includes Joseph Brewer.
The parkway is only open to residents who live on the east end of the island.

Miss World Megan Young ushers fundraising efforts in US
Miss World's charity organization, Beauty With A Purpose, has scheduled a series of fundraising events in the US for the victims of super typhoon "Yolanda."
On its website, Beauty With A Purpose announced their decision "to direct all of its fundraising efforts into supporting the people of the Philippines," after the country, particularly the Visayas area, was ravaged by the said "second deadliest Philippine typhoon on record."
On Nov. 19, Megan, together with Philippine Consul General Hon. Mario Lopez de Leon Jr., will be hosting a special evening for prominent members of the Filipino community in New York.
The next day, attendees are given the chance to make their donations in a fundraising event at the Double Tree by Hilton in Newark, New Jersey.
The third event, which will coincide with the official announcement of the co-operation between Beauty With A Purpose and the Filipino Official Delegation in the United States, will feature an auction of some of Megan's dresses during her journey to the Miss World crown – her National Costume, homecoming dress, and coronation gown. This will take place at the Beverly Hills Country Club on Nov. 21.
Megan will then return to the Philippines on Nov. 27 to deliver all the funds raised in the US; followed by her visit to the typhoon and earthquake victims at their evacuation centers in Tacloban City and Coron, Palawan on Nov. 28 and 29.
'You're not alone'
Meanwhile, Fil-Am "Glee" star Darren Criss has also joined the call for help.
On his official website, Darren urged his fans and followers to donate $25 to the World Food Programme that "will help bring more than 100 emergency meals to those in need."
Donors in turn will receive an autographed postcard "with everyone's name who donates," which says "You're not alone," after they email a picture or screenshot of their donation transaction to email@example.com.

The enactment of "Schultz's Law" came just a day after a Camden County grand jury handed down an indictment against the former South Jersey football standout charged with killing Schultz, a Gloucester Township K-9.
Schultz died last November after Skyler Robinson, 21, allegedly swung the 3½-year-old German shepherd into oncoming traffic as he was being apprehended by the dog. ...

Unlike current treatments, the new procedure – which takes a little as 15-minutes – is surgically non-invasive, and it delivers normal genes to difficult-to-reach cells throughout the entire retina.
Over the last six years, several groups have successfully treated people with a rare inherited eye disease by injecting a virus with a normal gene directly into the retina of an eye with a defective gene. Despite the invasive process, the virus with the normal gene was not capable of reaching all the retinal cells that need fixing.
"Sticking a needle through the retina and injecting the engineered virus behind the retina is a risky surgical procedure," said David Schaffer, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and director of the Berkeley Stem Cell Center at the University of California, Berkeley. "But doctors have no choice because none of the gene delivery viruses can travel all the way through the back of the eye to reach the photoreceptors – the light sensitive cells that need the therapeutic gene."
"Building upon 14 years of research, we have now created a virus that you just inject into the liquid vitreous humor inside the eye and it delivers genes to a very difficult-to-reach population of delicate cells in a way that is surgically non-invasive and safe. It's a 15-minute procedure, and you can likely go home that day."
The engineered virus works far better than current therapies in rodent models of two human degenerative eye diseases, and can penetrate photoreceptor cells in the eyes of monkeys, which are like those of humans.
Schaffer and his team are now collaborating with physicians to identify the patients most likely to benefit from this gene-delivery technique and, after some preclinical development, hope soon to head into clinical trials, he said.
Schaffer and John Flannery, UC Berkeley professor of molecular and cell biology and of optometry, along with colleagues from UC Berkeley's Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and the Flaum Eye Institute at the University of Rochester in New York, published the results of their study today (Wednesday, June 12) in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Harnessing a benign virus for gene therapy
Three groups of researchers have successfully restored some sight to more than a dozen people with a rare disease called Leber's congenital amaurosis, which leads to complete loss of vision in early adulthood. They achieved this by inserting a corrective gene into adeno-associated viruses (AAV), a common but benign respiratory virus, and injecting the viruses directly into the retina. The photoreceptor cells take up the virus and incorporate the functional gene into their chromosomes to make a critical protein that the defective gene could not, rescuing the photoreceptors and restoring sight.
Unfortunately, the technique cannot be applied to most blinding diseases because the needle often causes retinal detachment, making the situation worse. Yet the standard AAV used in eye and other types of gene therapy cannot penetrate into tissue to reach the photoreceptors and other cells, such as retinal pigment epithelium, that need to be fixed. The retina is about 100,000 times thicker than AAV, which is about 20 nanometers across.
Years ago, Schaffer set out to find a way to "evolve" AAV to penetrate tissues, including eye and liver, as a way to deliver genes to specific cells. To date he has generated 100 million variants of AAV – each carrying slightly different proteins on its coat – from which he and his colleagues selected five that were effective in penetrating the retina. They then used the best of these (7m8) to transport genes to cure two types of hereditary blindness for which there are mouse models: X-linked retinoschisis, which strikes only boys and makes their retinas look like Swiss cheese; and Leber's congenital amaurosis. In each case, when injected into the vitreous humor, the AAV delivered the corrective gene to all areas of the retina and restored retinal cells nearly to normal.
When injected into the eye of a normal monkey, the virus penetrated cells spottily across the retina but almost completely in the very important fine-vision area called the fovea. Current viruses do not penetrate foveal cells at all.
Schaffer predicts that the virus can be used not only to insert genes that restore function to non-working genes, but can knock out genes or halt processes that are actively killing retina cells, which may be the case in age-related macular degeneration.
"When I first got here 14 years ago, I really had the idea or the goal that I wanted to work on problems that would have direct impact on human health, and we are now getting there," Schaffer said.

Sustainable oil?
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 05/25/2004 @ 1:00 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
About 80 miles off of the coast of Louisiana lies a mostly submerged mountain, the top of which is known as Eugene Island. The portion underwater is an eerie-looking, sloping tower jutting up from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, with deep fissures and perpendicular faults which spontaneously spew natural gas. A significant reservoir of crude oil was discovered nearby in the late '60s, and by 1970, a platform named Eugene 330 was busily producing about 15,000 barrels a day of high-quality crude oil.
By the late '80s, the platform's production had slipped to less than 4,000 barrels per day, and was considered pumped out. Done. Suddenly, in 1990, production soared back to 15,000 barrels a day, and the reserves which had been estimated at 60 million barrels in the '70s, were recalculated at 400 million barrels. Interestingly, the measured geological age of the new oil was quantifiably different than the oil pumped in the '70s.
Analysis of seismic recordings revealed the presence of a "deep fault" at the base of the Eugene Island reservoir which was gushing up a river of oil from some deeper and previously unknown source.
Similar results were seen at other Gulf of Mexico oil wells. Similar results were found in the Cook Inlet oil fields in Alaska. Similar results were found in oil fields in Uzbekistan. Similarly in the Middle East, where oil exploration and extraction have been under way for at least the last 20 years, known reserves have doubled. Currently there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 680 billion barrels of Middle East reserve oil.
Creating that much oil would take a big pile of dead dinosaurs and fermenting prehistoric plants. Could there be another source for crude oil?
An intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product, not a stepchild of unfathomable time and organic degradation. The theory suggests there may be huge, yet-to-be-discovered reserves of oil at depths that dwarf current world estimates.
The theory is simple: Crude oil forms as a natural inorganic process which occurs between the mantle and the crust, somewhere between 5 and 20 miles deep. The proposed mechanism is as follows:
There are a number of observations across the oil-producing regions of the globe that support this theory, and the list of proponents begins with Mendelev (who created the periodic table of elements) and includes Dr. Thomas Gold (founding director of Cornell University Center for Radiophysics and Space Research) and Dr. J.F. Kenney of Gas Resources Corporations, Houston, Texas.
In his 1999 book, "The Deep Hot Biosphere," Dr. Gold presents compelling evidence for inorganic oil formation. He notes that geologic structures where oil is found all correspond to "deep earth" formations, not the haphazard depositions we find with sedimentary rock, associated fossils or even current surface life.
He also notes that oil extracted from varying depths from the same oil field have the same chemistry – oil chemistry does not vary as fossils vary with increasing depth. Also interesting is the fact that oil is found in huge quantities among geographic formations where assays of prehistoric life are not sufficient to produce the existing reservoirs of oil. Where then did it come from?
Another interesting fact is that every oil field throughout the world has outgassing helium. Helium is so often present in oil fields that helium detectors are used as oil-prospecting tools. Helium is an inert gas known to be a fundamental product of the radiological decay or uranium and thorium, identified in quantity at great depths below the surface of the earth, 200 and more miles below. It is not found in meaningful quantities in areas that are not producing methane, oil or natural gas. It is not a member of the dozen or so common elements associated with life. It is found throughout the solar system as a thoroughly inorganic product.
Even more intriguing is evidence that several oil reservoirs around the globe are refilling themselves, such as the Eugene Island reservoir – not from the sides, as would be expected from cocurrent organic reservoirs, but from the bottom up.
Dr. Gold strongly believes that oil is a "renewable, primordial soup continually manufactured by the Earth under ultrahot conditions and tremendous pressures. As this substance migrates toward the surface, it is attached by bacteria, making it appear to have an organic origin dating back to the dinosaurs."
Smaller oil companies and innovative teams are using this theory to justify deep oil drilling in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, among other locations, with some success. Dr. Kenney is on record predicting that parts of Siberia contain a deep reservoir of oil equal to or exceeding that already discovered in the Middle East.
Could this be true?
In August 2002, in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (US)," Dr. Kenney published a paper, which had a partial title of "The genesis of hydrocarbons and the origin of petroleum." Dr. Kenney and three Russian coauthors conclude:
The Hydrogen-Carbon system does not spontaneously evolve hydrocarbons at pressures less than 30 Kbar, even in the most favorable environment. The H-C system evolves hydrocarbons under pressures found in the mantle of the Earth and at temperatures consistent with that environment.
He was quoted as stating that "competent physicists, chemists, chemical engineers and men knowledgeable of thermodynamics have known that natural petroleum does not evolve from biological materials since the last quarter of the 19th century."
Deeply entrenched in our culture is the belief that at some point in the relatively near future we will see the last working pump on the last functioning oil well screech and rattle, and that will be that. The end of the Age of Oil. And unless we find another source of cheap energy, the world will rapidly become a much darker and dangerous place.
If Dr. Gold and Dr. Kenney are correct, this "the end of the world as we know it" scenario simply won't happen. Think about it … while not inexhaustible, deep Earth reserves of inorganic crude oil and commercially feasible extraction would provide the world with generations of low-cost fuel. Dr. Gold has been quoted saying that current worldwide reserves of crude oil could be off by a factor of over 100.
A Hedberg Conference, sponsored by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, was scheduled to discuss and publicly debate this issue. Papers were solicited from interested academics and professionals. The conference was scheduled to begin June 9, 2003, but was canceled at the last minute. A new date has yet to be set.

|Warlimont's study, written in awkward and sometimes ungrammatical English, endeavors to salvage the honor of the German Army Officers' Corps and to exculpate it for the war, mainly by asserting its resistance to National Socialism. Like other attempts of its kind, the study offers a detailed and largely irrelevant historical retrospective, set forth in part n, "Position and Attitude of the Gen. St. in the 100,000 men-Army," by way of establishing the bona fides of the German Officers Corps. Warlimont represents this group as a well-trained, apolitical cadre of professional military men whose personal qualities were of the highest order and whose loyalty to Germany beyond dispute. The Nazi Party had virtually no influence on these men until Hitler's ascension to power on January 30, 1933. In part m, "Development up to the War," Warlimont asserts that the typical General Staff Officer continued to hold himself aloof from National Socialism even after Hitler's seizure of power. Warlimont is at pains to show that he and his colleagues opposed Hitler's policies in general and advised the Fuehrer against initiating military action, yet is unable, finally, to explain away their eventual compliance, in deed if not in thought, with Hitler's preparations for and prosecution of aggressive war. Warlimont seems to think, or to want his audience to think, that the fact of nominal opposition is evidence of essential innocence - as if a spoken demurral were sufficient to cancel subsequent cooperation. His best attempt to mitigate the latter is the familiar assertion that the Officers' Corps was sworn to obey the orders of the political authority, however ruinous or misguided it might consider those orders to be. Part IV, "Position of the Gen. St. in the First Period of War," provides a brief recapitulation of military affairs related to the invasion of Poland and the attack against France. Warlimont admits that these successes enhanced Hitler's authority in the eyes of the General Staff, despite the various disagreements that attended them. Part V, "The Displacing of the Gen. Lt. [sic] in the Second Period of War," registers the surprise of the General Staff at Hitler's intention to attack Russia, an event that in Warlimont's opinion began the process by which the General Staff lost power and authority to conduct the war. The latter half of this section reads as chaotically as the German war effort seems generally to have become during 1943-44; Warlimont is most concerned with indicating how Hitler mismanaged the war on every front by disregarding the advice of the General Staff. As for the concentration camps, Warlimont disavows any knowledge of their activities prior to his having been taken prisoner by the Allied Powers and shown the evidence. The "Conclusion" reiterates Warlimont's basic assertion that National Socialism, not the German General Staff, was responsible for the war, and that the German Officers' Corps was merely fulfilling its sworn duty by waging as best it could the war that the political authority committed Germany to fight. This document is a single-spaced typewritten original. Its typographical quality is very good to excellent and the paper is slightly browning but generally stable.

Just saw this in a highlight package…it happened right after Miami beat Phoenix 107-92 tonight. In fact, James was surprised by Wade's gymnastics or spastic gymnastic display, that he couldn't continue the interview. He was laughing so hard because Wade not only cartwheeled behind him in one direction, but he immediately gathered himself and cartwheeled across the screen again in the opposite direction.
"Yo, we're going to a whole 'nother stratosphere tonight with that one," King James said while trying to contain his laughter. James even Tweeted the following, "Yo did @DwyaneWade really do cartwheels during my interview tonight. Video bombing took a whole new jump tonight. Hahahahaha! #Classic
Now, the Miami Heat photo bombing and video bombing has been going on for some time. First off, it shows how much fun the players are having with each other. Clearly, they understand the YOLO mantra.
The picture below is Lebron bombing Wade.
There is also plenty of evidence of Lebron video bombing his teammates. The video below is @KingJames doing the 'frontal bomb'.
I don't know about you, but I like it, cartwheels and all. Tweet/Like/Send.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. (AP) - Alpharetta police officers responding to a disturbance call shot and killed a man.
Police Officer George Gordon says officers responded to a disturbance call Monday morning on Douglas Road and found a man sitting alone in a pickup truck.
He says the man got out of the truck and pointed a gun at the officers. One or both officers shot the man, killing him. His name was not immediately released.
Gordon says police found containers of alcohol in the man's truck.
Both officers have been placed on administrative leave while the shooting is being investigated by the G.B.I. The officers names also were not released.

Skidmore Summer Art Teachers Fellowship Program
Summer 2015 Session Dates
July 7 – August 7, 2015
This competitive program for high school art teachers provides on-campus housing,
studio space, and opportunities for intensive independent study from July 7 through
August 7, 2015.
The Art Fellows Program aims to advance the education of young artists by providing their teachers with a summer opportunity to work intensively as artists and to be refueled by a vibrant and interactive summer arts community. Skidmore College offers the Art Fellows a chance to become immersed in their own studio art practice - in Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, or Sculpture - while being part of the larger liberal arts experience on Skidmore's dynamic summer campus, benefiting not only them, but also ultimately their students.
High School Art Teachers Fellowships are offered to up to 4 high school art teachers from across the United States. The chosen participants are provided with FREE room and board as well as shared studio space. The five-week Art Fellows program is open to high school teachers who have been teaching studio art for three or more years. Art Fellows are assigned a space within a large shared open studio. Critiques from Summer Art Faculty are available if requested. There will be many opportunities to share ideas and information through planned social activities and the Summer Studio Art Program's visiting artists' lectures and events.
To help defray costs we ask that the school of the accepted art fellow contribute $250 to the program. All lab fees (ranging from $75 to $100, depending on the discipline) are to be paid by the accepted candidate. A $40 non-refundable application fee is required at the time of application to the Fellows program.
Though we are not able to accept applications from previous Fellows, alums from previous
years are warmly welcomed back to the Skidmore summer community through opportunities
to register for a wide variety of summer art classes.
For more information, or if you have questions, please contact Katie DeGroot, Director of the Summer Studio Art Program at 518-580-5084.

The School Board has decided to try for a second time a $16.5 million referendum to build a new elementary school.
The referendum defeated by 55% of voters in the April election would reappear on the November ballot if the board formally approves the measure.
That vote is expected to be taken June 9.
The board on Monday directed staff to prepare to repeat the referendum, said Ric Ericksen, the School District's business manager.
The new school would be built next to Kinderberg Park on Donges Bay Road. Under the April ballot measure, it would have cost the owner of a $200,000 home an additional $56 a year in property taxes for 20 years.
School officials have said a new school is needed because of overcrowding in the district's four elementary schools.

Trial begins for St. Thomas man accused of raping girl at summer camp
Published: February 11, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The details were sketchy Monday in the trial of a man facing rape charges after a teenage girl accused him of molesting her during a summer camp celebration two years ago.
Kelvin Pickering, who was 32 at the time of the August 2012 incident, sat quietly alongside his attorney, Carl Williams, in V.I. Superior Court during the first day of his trial.
Pickering was arrested about a week after the 15-year-old girl reported the Aug. 3, 2012, incident. The girl, a camp counselor at the time, said that Pickering, a camp supervisor at the time, put his fingers up her vagina and then placed his penis on her, near her own genitalia.
Pickering is facing charges of second-degree rape and second-degree unlawful sexual contact charges.
According to V.I. Police Department reports, witnesses verified that Pickering and the girl had been out beyond the buoy line at Lindbergh Bay Beach about 2:30 p.m. on the day in question.
Several of the witnesses stated that they saw the victim's arms wrapped around Pickering. What exactly took place, however, was a mystery because the water was high enough that the majority of both their bodies was below the water's surface.
The victim, who still is a minor, testified in court during the morning and into the afternoon.
"He wrapped my legs around him," she said, visibly uncomfortable and barely audible at times. She was not feeling well, she told Assistant Attorney General Douglas Dick, who is prosecuting the case.
The victim, who wore a black bow in her hair and her school uniform, though she did not intend on attending school Monday, recalled that she also was not feeling well on the day in question. Initially, she had stayed out of the water that day, despite the fact that it was the last day of camp. Several different camps gather at the beach and celebrate on that day, she said.
In the mid-afternoon, she eventually went into the water, and was playing with the other camp counselors and campers, she said.
Then, Pickering approached her and pulled her away from the crowd of about 90 people in the water, the girl testified.
He pulled her to a point where she was unable to stand in the water, so she placed her arms around his neck, she said.
Once Pickering took her beyond the buoy line, he began to fondle her, according to her account on the stand.
"He told me I felt good," she said.
Williams, Pickering's attorney, repeatedly questioned the girl about fragments of the story that did not quite match with the report she initially told detectives three days after she said the incident happened.
The girl told police that Pickering took off the shorts that she was wearing in the water over her swimsuit, but on the stand, she said that he had not.
She also had told police that she had decided to enter the water initially because a group of boys was bothering her while she was hanging out on shore, a fact that she later confirmed but at first had denied.
However, the girl was adamant that Pickering had inappropriately touched her while out past the swimming boundary and that other camp counselors were aware of what was transpiring.
"Everybody seen what was going on, and nobody did anything," she testified.
According to her account, two camp counselors approached her and Pickering and asked what was going on.
"He said, 'We're out here making love.' They laughed and turned around," she said.
When asked why she did not notify anyone of what happened, she said that she did not feel like she could because she knew already that people were aware of what happened.
The girl testified that she also did not tell her mother because she thought her mother would "kill her" if she found out.
However, because several supervisors at the camp were suspicious of what happened beyond the buoys, several supervisors approached the girl and her mother, as well as Pickering, and the supervisors compiled a report.
The girl's mother took her daughter to Dr. Jennifer Miller on Aug. 6.
Miller testified that it appeared at the time that the girl had sexual intercourse within the last week, but she could not determine that it was forcible. It appeared, based on tears within the girl's vaginal wall that something soft and symmetrical had entered her, but she could not say for sure what.
Miller also testified that neither the girl nor her mother wanted to discuss what happened and simply wanted an exam to hand over to the police, she said.
Second-degree rape is defined in V.I. Code as an act of sexual intercourse with a person who is not the perpetrator's spouse and who is at least 16 years old but younger than 18 when the perpetrator is five years or older than the victim. The maximum jail sentence is 10 years. Conviction also requires registration as a sex offender.
Pickering's trial is expected to continue today.

|Guest Editorial on the Festschrift "Challenges in population oral health for the 21st Century".
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22998296 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|This Festschrift provides important and valuable guidance on population oral health. It is unfortunate that it coincides with the retirement of one of population oral health's pioneers, Professor John (AJ) Spencer, who has made significant contributions to the subject over the last 35 years. Oral diseases and disorders remain prevalent and have detrimental effects on individuals, and society-at-large. Many of our attempts to improve population oral health through existing oral health services have met with limited success, owing to the focus on 'care' rather than 'cure'. It has long been recognised that oral diseases are largely behavioural in origin; but this approach at the individual level has not been entirely successful. There is a need to consider 'mid- and up-stream' approaches to changing oral health and health care delivery systems. However social inequalities are a major determinant of oral health, and their influence in oral health are omnipresent, which emphasises the important role of population oral health in future health care strategies. The Festschrift provides theoretical and empirical evidence of the need for further epidemiological investigations (particularly life course studies), innovative approaches to oral health surveillance and oral health outcome evaluation, plus a realisation that multidisciplinary approaches are the way forward. In an information and globalization era, we must put the 'population' into oral health and this is our challenge for the 21st Century.

The electronic properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) depend on the positions of their walls with respect to neighboring shells. This fact can enable several applications of MWCNTs as nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS). In this article, we report the findings of a first-principles study on the stability and dynamics of point defects in double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) and their role in the response of the host systems under inter-tube displacement. Key defect-related effects, namely, sudden energy changes and hysteresis, are identified, and their relevance to a host of MWCNT-based NEMS is highlighted. The results also demonstrate the dependence of these effects on defect clustering and chirality of DWCNT shells.

24 October 2007
Canterbury Christ Church University has enrolled a record number of international students for the academic year 2007/8.
The University has recruited over 700 international students from 77 countries, who will study a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University's campuses in Canterbury, Broadstairs, Tunbridge Wells and Medway.
A special event was held on Wednesday 10th October to welcome the new students. The event featured a variety of music from around the world, including a live performance from international students currently studying on the Commercial Music degree programme at the University's Broadstairs Campus.
Marina Sanadze, who is studying Digital Culture, Arts and Media, said: "I have enrolled at Canterbury Christ Church because of its reputation as a professional organisation and so that I could experience a high quality of education. The University staff and students have been really friendly and, following my studies, I hope to use the skills I will learn to work in Europe for an advertising agency."
Director of the University's International Office, Susan Rhodes-Molden, said: "The increase of international students is a result of the wide range of attractive courses made available by the University and its reputation as a caring and welfare-orientated community. Our international students are a great asset to the University, increasing the cultural diversity and awareness of the student population and local community."
If you are a member of the media and would like an interview with, or a photo of the international students please contact Laura Jones on 01227 782826.
Canterbury Christ Church University's International Office provides support to overseas students throughout their stay. The Office organizes an induction programme and acts as a focus for students whilst they are at the University. Students can come and see the International Student Support Officer to discuss any concerns they may have or to ask any questions. The International Student Officer arranges a social programme including local excursions and visits to London and other European capitals.
Many international students join the University for three-year degree programmes whilst others come for a one-year postgraduate course or for shorter periods and the International Office processes all international student admissions into the University.
As well as having internationally minded support staff in the International Office to help international students with their study visit, a significant number of the University's academic staff have international skills in teaching and research and undertake overseas teaching assignments and consultancies.

When's the last time you checked your credit-card statements? Not just a quick glance to see how the total got so high, but scrutinizing even the small charges to see if any of them sound suspicious? Those small entries are where the danger lurks, you know. Like zombie memberships that you canceled once, but mysteriously come back to life, patiently extracting an unnoticeable amount from your credit card every few months. Or trivial costs that creep up slowly from $5.99 to $6.99 to $7.99 and so on, taking advantage of the long time between billing cycles, knowing that your attention is likely to wander.
Those are called "grey charges." Not fraudulent, but certainly unwanted. And expensive in the long run. If you read the fine print for each online transaction you engage in, you's probably be aware of these – but who reads all that fine print?
What To Watch Out For
Seniors are particularly vulnerable to these kinds of scams. Sure, we probably have more time than we used to for scanning paragraphs of rules and columns of tiny figures, but many of us aren't that comfortable doing it. Besides, if someone's getting a bit absentminded they may honestly not be sure if they really signed up for some service – or already paid a particular bill. And catching recurring charges often requires comparing several billing cycles, to see if an item reappears.
Here are a few other quasi-legal "grey charges"you should be watching out for:
One way to protect yourself from these schemes is to do an online search for the phrase "grey charges" every so often, note what people have been complaining about lately, and see if any of the scams match entries on your bank statement. You may even find a solution to one of your problems on the web: one woman recently complained about a mysterious recurring charge labeled "MSFT" that neither the police or her bank could help her with. A few hours later a kid from the University of Toledo logged on to inform her that the charge was very likely related to an Xbox that someone in the family was using, and the perpetrator was Microsoft.
What You Should Do
When you find some little zombie nibbling at your bank account, don't keep it a secret. Call the bank that issued your card and let them know that you didn't authorize the charge. And if you're used to chatting online through social media such as Twitter or Facebook, make a point of describing what happened to you and how you spotted the scam. There are people just like you who may be able to use the information.
There's even a free online start-up, BillGuard, that compiles complaints from banks and consumers, scans your credit-card statements for you, and lets you know when something suspicious pops up. Then you decide for yourself whether the charge is valid.
So you've got no excuse not to fight back against grey charges. Start taking a better look at your bank statements, poke around online to see what the latest scams are, and when you run across one of them, tell the world. Together we can beat these online pickpockets.

I know. I meant that I go with the home team (NOLA boy here, now living in MTL) in both cases. Though the Islanders are on a bit of a roll. I hope our guys don't make another goalie look great tonight.
Saints are doing ok but not great. It's going to be tough for them to try to repeat this year. Beating the Falcons would help them. Saints would clinch a playoff slot with this win or the next game. But I think that if they beat the Falcons and the Bucs (their last game) and then the Falcons lose their last game, the Saints are #1 seed in the NFC. Though I think the more likely scenario is that they beat the Bucs to clinch. Should be a good one tomorrow though.

No, I mighta listened, but the picks had to be in afore 13h so had to leave the computer a few minutes before and make a call. Wouldn't've asked about those games if I had no intention to listen, believe me.

Too late. Took Bears. Like you say, Jets inconsistent. Bears too but they're at home and… Devon Hester and… really, I just kinda went that way cuz this one was too close a call.
Too late. Took Colts. Got scared. Went safe. They got almost just as much ridin on this game as the Rrraiders do and they're EXPERIENCED winners… I dunno, I went safe.
Too late. Took Broncos. Game a coin-flip. Decided to drink Tebow kool-aid.
Not only are the Falcons good at home, they're good altogether, ask me. Reckon they'll wanna see how they stack up against the champs and give'em all they got. Took Falcons.
Appreciate input, Max; thank you.

Prédictions asks you to call the winner of every game. Winner is the one who gets the most right. Score doesn't matter. I took NE. Believe it or not.
But thanks anyway, Felix.

I know a kick ass NFL handicapper, his play today is NE-BUF under,,,it doesnt help you out, but just in case you were looking for a total.
[Disclaimer]: I'm a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
Max_a_million says:Log in to Reply
Sanchez has shoulder issues, but teh Bears are not that consistent. Jets love their coach, and will come out fighting for him. Take Jets
Colts and Raiders … you lose a lot of money betting against Peyton Manning, still I have a feeling they come down off of last weeks effort with too many young players. Take Raiders
Texans and Broncos … Broncos are disaster. Take Texans
Falcons and Saints … Falcons at home, too good at home

Worked yesterday. Glad I didn't have to see the Boys choke away another win. Can hardly wait for their season
to end. Hey, but the great news is that hockey is back and the Habs play tonight. Make it two wins in a row boys!

Still completely frazzled. Had the proverbial glass too many. Plus, I love my uncie to death but he can't cook worth a sh*te. Beef ragout shouldn't be GREY in my opinion. Obvious he tried to cheat and thicken it with flour. I didn't say anything because I was the youngest at the table, but still…blechh! Hit the wine instead. Which didn't really help.
Anyways, point is, can't think straight and don't have much time. Need help with my Prédictions:
Jets at Bears: Never know what you're gonna see with either of these clubs. Reckon I should play it safe and take the home team?
Colts at RRRaiders: Colts aren't at 100%. Still very good club. But Raiders have performed magic on occasion… Aww, maybe this one ain't that complicated.
Texans at Broncos: what the hell, man? Honestly. Think I'll just flip a coin.
Aaaand though I've kinda already decided, Falcons-Saints. Saints SHOULD win, probably will, but what is gamblin for except for takin chances? Reckon to take the Falcons unless I can be convinced otherwise by some of you fine folk.
Y'all got 15 mins afore I gotta go to the dep. Hit me.

Is it possible the players could all be flying in from separate destinations.

Well, here I am in Columbus, Ohio at the in-laws'… no hockey down here, good thing it's a Sunday and the NFL's on or I'd be up to my neck in college basketball.
Uncle Tim will tell me once again how the University of Kentucky Wildcats are the greatest sports team…
Cousin Mike will strike up hockey talk with me and complain about the Blue Jackets sucking which brings me to an announcement – we have a new Habs fan in the world!
Yes my wife has finally once and for all for the umpteenth time vowed to quit cheering for the CBJ and firmly plant her wagon behind ours in Habsland.
She watches the games with me and really got into the playoff run last spring, she likes that winning thing which the Jackets really don't care for anymore besides she says, she already has a lot of Hab gear (my old jersey, etc…)
Next I gotta get her onto Habs I/O… she wasted her time at HFboards doing the CBJ whine so it should be an easy transition to here…
Joyeux Jour de Boites to one and all!

A great day to enjoy some hockey AND some time off work. Going to the inlaws to chow down on some turkey, come back home to catch Team Canada lay some whoop-ass on Team Russia, down a few Picaroon's Ale (Growler's are awesome!), and get ready for the Habs/ Isles game for later this evening. Can't it get any better than this for a Canadie(a)n's hockey fan? I don't think so! Enjoy the day everyone!!!

Thats a good idea, I have to work on Monday(USPS Letter Carrier), so I gotta get home. I would love to stay over night. There was a Blizzard last year when the Habs came to town in December, that was a horrible trip home, took 3 hours normally 40 minutes

I,m sure those in Hamilton are just now starting to see all the young ones get thier shot!!!

One man is displaced after an early-morning fire ripped through his Peach Bottom Township home Tuesday, rendering it a total loss, according to a fire official.
Fire companies from York, Harford, and Lancaster counties were called at 5:40 a.m. to the home at 9 Quiet Stream Lane.
They found the home engulfed in flames, said Daniel Lemmon, safety officer with Whiteford Volunteer Fire Company. In addition, the homeowner, who was home at the time, was able to evacuate without injury, he said.
Because the man was out of the house, firefighters fought the fire from the outside, rather than attacking its interior.
High temperatures, even in the early hours of the day, were a challenge.
"We called additional manpower because of temperatures," Lemmon said.
However, there was no water shortage in fighting this fire, as sometimes happens in rural areas, he said.
The fire's cause is under investigation. Looking at the damage, he called it a total loss.
Firefighters extinguished the fire but remained there for several hours after, finding and extinguishing small flare-ups.
They also pulled out mounds of debris from inside house, piling it up in front. A small metal box, about the size of a microwave oven, sat in the road, still smoking - that is, until firefighters blasted it with water.
The American Red Cross arrived to help the victim with food, shelter and clothing.

Here's a post just for you ladies out there — no men allowed. it comes from G&F and their Becoming an Outdoors Woman workshop, or BOW:
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is still accepting registrations for the 15th annual Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop, which willl be held Aug. 7-9 at Lake Metigoshe State Park near Bottineau. The cost is $135 for women 18 years of age or older with an Aug. 1 registration deadline.
The workshop offers 24 different seminars, each of which lasts more than three hours. Classes are held outdoors, and each session contains 45 minutes of lecture with the remainder dedicated to hands-on instruction. Each session has room for 12 women. Participants are limited to four sessions.
Women will learn the basics of hunting and fishing, shooting, navigation, and plants and animals. New classes offered this year include basic boating skills and intermediate archery. Other classes include decoy carving, canoeing, fly-fishing, kayaking, plant identification and predator calling.
Participants will stay in dorms and must provide their own bedding and towels. All camp facilities are handicap accessible. Equipment is provided unless noted in the course description.
