Start Date: Jan 24, 2014
End Date: Aug 31, 2017
A rational and sustainable approach to finding viable alternatives to methyl bromide is to utilize integrated pest management (IPM) programs where combinations of tactics are used to maintain economic damage from key pests below a tolerable threshold. Another approach is to redesign production systems minimizing the potential for outbreaks of soilborne pests. Availability of biologically-based pest to be implemented. Growers must have the option of choosing tactics that fit the needs and constraints of their individual programs. Deployment of multiple or companion tactics is essential to alleviate selection pressure and manage potential increases in resistant pest populations. Synergistic effects from combinations of pest management tactics need to be determined. Specific research methodology will include combinations of cultural practices, biotechnology, biological, and conventional control methods. Identify rootstock and scion germplasm material which have traits that resist diseases commonly found in the Southeastern U.S. currently controlled by methyl bromide. Screen available rootstock material for compatibility using current and new techniques. Select and evaluate rootstock and scion combinations for initial disease resistance and adaptation to current and new cultural technique. Determine the influence of rootstock/scion combinations on the horticultural characteristics of fruit including fruit appearance pre and post harvest quality, flavor, time to maturity, and yield. Develop techniques to evaluate the growth and development of the plant combinations under biotic and abiotic stress and evaluate grafted plant performance under varying cultural conditions.

From the diary of Jim Henson: Imagination Illustrated NOV 01 2012
Here's a look at a new book based on the diary of Jim Henson called Imagination Illustrated. Here's the foreword by his daughter Lisa and the first few pages:
Love this idea, BTW...embeddable book excerpts. More like this, please. Actually, if I were Amazon I would make Kindle previews embeddable with a big old "buy the full book at Amazon" button on the last page of the excerpt and tie it in with the Associates Program. Apparently they did offer this once upon a time but not anymore.

Double Check Your Medicine Storage - It's Poison Prevention Week
Double Check Your Medicine Storage - It's Poison Prevention Week
03.21.13 | By
This week is Poison Prevention Week, and a new article by Deborah Blum on Wired.com highlights why this stuff matters: 87 deaths per day.
That's a scary number, and the newest CDC report on point notes that accidental poisonings are now causing greater fatalities than auto accidents.
We lock our cars to prevent our children from getting in them without our knowledge. We store our bleach and cleaning products (or should) safely away from toddlers and pets. But for many households, the safe storage of prescription medicine just isn't on the radar.
Blum referenced a fantastic USA Today report that explained how small children usually get hold of medicine: while the medicine cabinet is often a danger to older kids, for the little ones, they're usually finding pills or bottles on the floor, countertops, sofa's, purses or other easy-to-see spots.
As much good as medicine can do for a patient, it can be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands or used incorrectly. Part of the safe use of medicine includes storing it correctly to prevent little hands from finding it, and further, making sure older kids understand the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
If you'd like more information, check out Safe Kids Worldwide new campaign, 'Safe Kids, Safe Storage, Safe Dosing'. In particular, I liked their infographic which explained the numbers behind young children and poisoning by ingesting medicine unsupervised.

MARIETTA - The 225th birthday of Marietta may not be celebrated with as much fanfare as the 98th, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the days ahead to honor and learn about the first settlement in the Northwest Territory.
As it has for the last five years, the anniversary of the founding of the Pioneer City on April 7 - and Belpre on April 9 - will be marked during a series of history and genealogy-themed events comprising "14 Days with the Pioneers and Patriots of Washington County." New exhibits will be on display at the Campus Martius Museum, authors and local historians will offer presentations and numerous people will be clad in historical garb.
It's an extensive schedule but different from the all-day festivities recorded in an 1886 edition of The Marietta Register-Leader, said Gretchen Otto, second vice president of the Washington County Historical Society.

Glenna Hoff, education and program director at the Campus Martius Museum, discusses a document signed by original Ohio Company members, including Rufus Putnam, Manasseh Cutler, Griffin Greene and Robert Oliver, in front of a mural at the museum depicting the establishment of civil government in the Northwest Territory.
"The celebration of Marietta's birthday was treated like a holiday," she said. "There was a parade. ... There were bells and whistles. There were speakers in Muskingum Park."
But Otto doesn't think the change means Marietta's history isn't still appreciated.
"I think we find other ways to celebrate Marietta," she said, pointing to events like the Sternwheel and Sweet Corn festivals and the efforts of groups like ReStore Marietta and the Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Some of those events draw on the history of the area, and activities like those being offered over the next two weeks also draw people in, said Jean Yost, president of the Washington County Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, one of the groups organizing the festivities.
"We've had real good turnout to the events over the years," he said. "We have a lady coming from Florida (this year) whose husband, Ed Pugh, was one of the people on the 1937-38 trek from Ipswich, (Mass.), to Marietta."
That journey recreated the original one made in 1787. The landing will be staged again on Sunday, with local historian Bill Reynolds portraying Col. Rufus Putnam, one of Marietta's founding fathers.
Yost said the origins of Marietta matter far beyond the city limits.
"The founding of Marietta was the first stage of implementation of the Northwest Ordinance," he said. "It preceded the Constitution by two months. It set the standard for how new states would be admitted to the union ... prohibited slavery ... essentially set aside ground for religion and education."
Campus Martius, the fort that is the namesake of the museum that now sits on its grounds at Second and Washington streets in Marietta "was home of the governor, (Arthur) St. Clair, the supreme court and the laws of Ohio," Yost said. "The laws that preceded the establishment of the state were written here in Marietta."
The week's activities will involve local historians - like Jeff Spear's presentation Friday at the Ohio River Museum on the history of a family tied to the W.P. Snyder Jr. docked there and Louise Zimmer's talk on Marietta's early days at the local Daughters of the American Revolution luncheon Saturday - and local residents, including the students of Harmar Elementary School ringing the bell at the Henry Fearing House Museum on Friday, an opportunity that will be afforded to the public on Sunday. But people from outside the area will also share their perspective as well.
Author James Williams will debut his new book, "Blazes, Posts and Stones" on Saturday at Campus Martius Museum. The book deals with the history of surveying in Ohio, but will appeal to people beyond that subject, Yost said.
"He'll talk to you about the man that was there surveying and a little bit about his background," he said. "He's winding into his (story) not only the history of the surveying of Ohio, but he's telling you about these characters."

Never miss another 'Mike Dignam' show
This event takes place at O2 ABC Glasgow (ABC1 & ABC2), which has achieved Silver Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Mike Dignam
Mike Dignam, at the tender age of seventeen, wrote and recorded his debut album, producing a collection of songs full of teen angst and energy, wrapped up with dynamic vocals and composition belying his years. He put some of the songs on the internet and let people here them (back when MySpace was novel) and 30,000 fans quickly appeared on his profile.
Without making banal comparisons you wouldn't be a million miles off the mark with likenings to James Morrison and Jason Mraz.

A Dillon businessman is proposing a big project to the town: a two-story residential addition to the Dumler building, and a new parking/residential structure in the town-owned parking lot on the corner of Fiedler Avenue and LaBonte Street.
The proposal was put forth to Dillon Town Council Tuesday night by Tony Gancev, owner of the Dumler building (located at 330 Fiedler Ave., across from Colorado Mountain College), and the businesses Team Temp Staffing and Team Clean housed within. He recently acquired the building and would like to add two stories of condos on top (six units), but there is no parking to go along with it. To solve the problem, Gancev told council he'd like to build a parking garage on the current parking lot (in front of the Family and Intercultural Resource Center Thrift and Treasure store) with two stories of parking - one being partially underground - and 16 condos split throughout two stories on top. One of the parking levels would be dedicated to the public for free, while the other would be for the new residential units.
"At this point, it's a conceptual idea," Gancev told council. "I think it will add to the town."
Gancev wants his vision to be in line with the town's economic development vision, he told council.
The units would be of "a higher-end" quality, Arapahoe Architects owner Bobby Craig told council. Craig is working with Gancev on the idea.
The residential units on top of the parking garage would be added to help justify the cost of the structure, Craig said. Those 16 units, along with the six above Dumler, would be one or two bedrooms.
There are 53 spaces in the existing parking lot; Craig estimates 40-45 for each floor in the new structure, although nothing's set in stone.
There would still be pedestrian connections, so the sidewalks, like the one the Thrift and Treasure opens up to, would remain, according to Craig.
There is no timeline since everything is purely conceptual at this point, Craig said. He told council members and local citizens at Tuesday's meeting he wants to hear their opinions.
Council discussed the proposal in executive session Tuesday night. Town manager Joe Wray doesn't know when the subject will be brought before council again, and there is nothing scheduled for the public at this point. Wray said there is a possibility the matter will be transferred to the Dillon Urban Renewal Authority, a commission created to improve the town's center and encourage development, overseen by council members.

"Geeks are definitely the new rock stars."
So proclaims Hermoine Way, one of the party-hearty cast members of "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley," the hotly anticipated Bravo series scheduled to debut Nov. 5. And if these are the geeks she's referring to, Heaven help us.
Earlier this week, Bravo, the cable network that subjected the world to the "Real Housewives" franchise, finally released preview footage of the show, which is, in part, produced by Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
It will come as a shock to absolutely no one that said footage is spiced with plenty of bikinis, booze and bawling.
What it doesn't contain is very many scenes of people actually devoting time to their start-up concepts.
"I have a work hard, play hard mentality," says Dwight Crow, described by the program as a "programming savant." And the emphasis is on play.
The series supposedly will explore the "intertwining lives of a group of (six) young entrepreneurs on the path to becoming Silicon Valley's next great success stories." Or so says the network's press release. And while Bravo describes the show as a "docu-series," one look at the trailer tells you that this is guilty-pleasure reality TV through and through. Think: "Jersey Shore" with mouse pads.
And lots of hubris, too.
"The future of the world is in our hands," says Way, who is described as a former journalist/marketing expert who's making the transition to hands-on work in the tech world.
"Start-Ups" has already stirred controversy in the tech community. Some are worried that it will make a mockery of the Silicon Valley lifestyle. Others are miffed that the show was predominantly shot not in the valley, but in camera-friendly San Francisco.
Apparently, Bravo's producers forgot how to use their Google Maps app.

Injuries from fireworks can be dangerous...even deadly.
This year, the Burn Center at Doctor's Hospital saw 23 fireworks injuries, ten of those on the Fourth of July.
The story of one local family demonstrates what can happen even if your child is just a bystander.
Like most seven-year-olds, it's hard to keep little Jordan still for very long.
But now she has no choice.
"She's not well enough to do anything," says Keisha Williams, Jordan's mother.
Jordan has second-degree burns on both her legs.
"My daughter walked down five apartments to see a firework a lady was going to fire," Keisha says. "The lady said she told my daughter to move, but I didn't hear her say it. And my daughter was on skates trying to run."
But Jordan couldn't move fast or far enough.
"It's called a Monster, she threw it down and it spun and took off in direct directions," Keisha says. "It was like a roman candle but it makes five launches, about five flames swirling at you."
She says one of the flames hit her daughter in the leg.
"I thought my pants were going to start on fire," Jordan says.
"If her clothes weren't flame retardant, she could've ignited," says Keisha.
And if you look closely, you'll notice Jordan waddles when she walks.
"When she goes to the bathroom, we have to cut her out of her underwear, because she can't pull them down," Keisha says.
"I just don't want it to get stuck," says Jordan.
And now her mother is furious.
"When you take a risk that can injure you, that's your choice, but when you do something that can injure someone else and they're not even aware you're going to do it, that's malicious to me," Keisha says.
All this happened on Jordan's birthday, the Fourth of July.
"It's traumatic. All week they would run to the window to see the fireworks, and now they ignore them," Keisha says. "They won't even look out the window at them."
And now every birthday will hold some painful memories.
Keisha Williams filed an incident report on her neighbor for using the fireworks near her child.
Her neighbor was issued a citation.

BRENTWOOD -- Dina Holder's special-education class at Loma Vista Elementary School had been spiraling out of control for months before she kicked a 5-year-old autistic boy for refusing to go to circle time.
The 24-year teaching veteran spent her days playing solitaire on the computer and paying her bills, leaving instruction to her aides, a school district investigation found. She yelled and cursed at her pre-kindergarteners, many of whom could not speak. She joked to one teacher how she sat on a child.
It all culminated when the 52-year-old Holder said she "snapped" and assaulted the boy until aides pulled her away, according to internal investigation documents obtained by this newspaper. Those documents -- disclosed in response to a Public Records Act request -- offer the first public indication of Holder's behavior leading up to the May 25, 2010, incident, and include the most detailed description so far of her confrontation with the child.
The documents also deepen the questions regarding Brentwood Union School District officials' handling of a controversy that has rocked the district since it was revealed as part of a legal settlement last month. At least 11 school employees -- from classroom aides to administrators -- failed to perform their legally mandated duties to report any suspicion of child abuse to authorities after either witnessing or learning of the kicking episode.
Holder's attorney spoke out for the first time Tuesday on behalf of his client.
"Her thinking is that it was a highly regrettable incident and she may want to voice her thoughts at a later date," attorney Mark Davis said, adding that earlier complaints made against Holder were "uncorroborated."
Holder was eventually convicted of misdemeanor child abuse for the kicking incident, though she was allowed to continue teaching for nearly two years. But the 40 pages of school district documents show a struggling teacher long in need of an intervention.
Since this newspaper's investigation began last month, the district has apologized for how it handled disciplining Holder, saying future incidents will be viewed "through a different lens."
Parental warnings
Years before the kicking incident, parents began to complain about Holder. In March 2008, a parent said Holder shook her nonverbal 3-year-old by the shoulders as he signed, "All done! All done!" The same complaint alleges she directed staff members to leave an uncooperative child behind during a fire drill.
In May of that year, a parent told police that Holder slapped her 3-year-old son in the face. In her investigatory notes, Principal Lauri James wrote that those allegations were "unfounded." By June 2008, James completed a mostly positive performance evaluation for Holder.
Shortly before the 2010 kicking incident, parents of a child who had visited Holder's classroom complained in a letter to special education director Margo Olson, they "did not like the way Dina talked to or touched the students and felt that she had an anger problem."
Other parental allegations, mentioned in public meetings and attorney interviews, included a toddler taped to a chair and a 3-year-old Down syndrome student in Holder's care found wandering in the school parking lot.
Co-worker's regret
Holder's co-workers also noticed warning signs, telling investigators after the kicking incident that the classroom atmosphere had been disintegrating. There is no indication, however, that any of them warned administrators before then.
"Dina had been spiraling down in the last few months," classroom aide Kelly Knapp wrote. "She had been sitting at her desk while we were doing the teaching, acting very lazy. She has been very 'short' with the students lately."
Knapp told an investigator that "she felt sad and scared for (the boy). That Dina was getting louder and louder, that yelling happens all the time. That she can't even hear herself think half of the time. She felt frustrated that Dina has not been teaching because the kids can be learning so much more."
Another aide told the principal that she thought the administration was aware that Holder had been arriving late to class for years, while a speech therapist said she saw her playing solitaire on her computer and paying bills.
Jenny Diaz, the district's speech and language supervisor, wished she had come forward sooner.
"Throughout the year, I have observed Dina doing a whole lot of nothing in her classroom while I have been in there," Diaz wrote. "She often sits behind her desk and barks orders across the room to her aides. She was hardly ever hands-on with the children while activities were being conducted by her aides. I had full intentions of setting up a meeting with (Olson) after school got out to share concerns and greatly regret not going to her or Lauri sooner."
'I lost it'
At about 9 o'clock on that May 2010 morning, the 5-year-old, 60-pound boy was cutting out papers for a project when Holder asked him to join circle time. Holder herself told James what happened next, as written in the principal's investigatory notes:
"I lost it. One of the kids who always says, 'No' was telling me 'No' again. I can't remember if he was in a chair over by the play house or standing up. I grabbed him by the arm and he fell to the ground. I kicked him twice and then I heard (aide Knapp) say, 'Stop.'"
The three aides in the class said Holder called the boy a "son of a bitch."
Knapp pulled Holder away and yelled for her to stop. The boy had a "sad and scared expression on his face" and started crying, Knapp said.
In James' notes after an interview with aide Stacey Carpenetti, she wrote: "She kicked (the boy), sorry to say, like you would kick a dog out of the way."
'Done something bad'
The day after the kicking incident, Loma Vista teacher Esme Bruesewitz told district investigators she saw Holder outside her classroom crying and unable to talk.
"After about five minutes of talking calmly to her she told me, 'I've done something bad,'" Bruesewitz wrote. Later that day, Holder told her she kicked a student and that an aide reported her.
On June 1, 2010, Holder told Margaret Kruse, assistant superintendent of human resources, that she "felt terrible about this and was scared to death that (she) would lose (her) job," according to school district records. Holder said her husband had been out of work, and that she's premenopausal, with pre-diabetes, and had recently been diagnosed as having sleep apnea. She also said she was seeing a therapist.
"I have been going through a lot lately -- I know that is no excuse," Holder later told James. "I have been losing my temper for the last two months now."
Reporting failures
School employees and officials failed in their legal obligations starting almost immediately after the young boy was kicked.
Each school worker must "immediately" report knowledge of "any reasonable suspicion" of abuse to police or Child Protective Services, according to the state Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act. A written notice must be sent within 36 hours.
Knapp first sought advice from Connie Forrest, the other special-education teacher at Loma Vista. Forrest, who used to run the special-education department for the district, told Knapp to talk to Holder about it. Five employees began communicating about the situation, the documents say, but no one called authorities.
Word reached James, the principal, the day after the incident. Instead of reporting it, James conducted her own investigation, finally contacting Child Protective Services on June 1, days later than state law required. That same day, the boy's parents were notified about the kicking for the first time, in a meeting with school administrators. The parents called police hours later, the first time police had been alerted.
In her investigation, James reprimanded a handful of employees who didn't follow standard operating procedures. But her focus was on their failure to adhere to an internal protocol that required employees to report directly to the principal, not on their failure to follow the law.
Asked how she trained her employees regarding their legal obligations, James testified last year: "I wouldn't go over it in that depth every year. I would just say, you know, just remind you that you are mandated reporters. And under the (standard operating procedures), anything that you see or hear out of the ordinary needs to be reported to me."

The lead-up to the invasion of Iraq has become notorious in the annals of American journalism. Even many reporters, editors and commentators who fueled the drive to war in 2002 and early 2003 now acknowledge that major media routinely tossed real journalism out the window in favor of boosting war.
But it's happening again.
The current media travesty is a drumbeat for the idea that the U.S. war effort must keep going. And again, in its news coverage, the New York Times is a bellwether for the latest media parade to the cadence of the warfare state.
During the run-up to the invasion, news stories repeatedly told about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction while the Times and other key media outlets insisted that their coverage was factually reliable. Now the same media outlets insist that their coverage is analytically reliable.
Instead of authoritative media information about aluminum tubes and mobile weapons labs, we're now getting authoritative media illumination of why a swift pullout of U.S. troops isn't realistic or desirable. The result is similar to what was happening four years ago -- a huge betrayal of journalistic responsibility.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The WMD spin was in sync with official sources and other
establishment-sanctified experts, named and unnamed. The anti-pullout spin
is in sync with official sources and other
establishment-sanctified experts, named and unnamed.
During the weeks since the midterm election, the New York Times news coverage of Iraq policy options has often been heavy-handed, with carefully selective sourcing for prefab conclusions. Already infamous is the Nov. 15 front-page story by Michael Gordon under the headline "Get Out of Iraq Now? Not So Fast, Experts Say." A similar technique was at play Dec. 1 with yet another "News Analysis," this time by reporter David Sanger, headlined "The Only Consensus on Iraq: Nobody's Leaving Right Now."
Typically, in such reportage, the sources harmonizing with the media outlet's analysis are chosen from the cast of political characters who helped drag the United States into making war on Iraq in the first place.
What's now going on in mainline news media is some kind of repetition compulsion. And, while media professionals engage in yet another round of conformist opportunism, many people will pay with their lives.
With so many prominent American journalists navigating their stories by the lights of big Washington stars, it's not surprising that so much of the news coverage looks at what happens in Iraq through the lens of the significance for American power.
Viewing the horrors of present-day Iraq with star-spangled eyes, New York Times reporters John Burns and Kirk Semple wrote -- in the lead sentence of a front-page "News Analysis" on Nov. 29 -- that "American military and political leverage in Iraq has fallen sharply."
The second paragraph of the Baghdad-datelined article reported: "American fortunes here are ever more dependent on feuding Iraqis who seem, at times, almost heedless to American appeals."
The third paragraph reported: "It is not clear that the United States can gain new traction in Iraq..."
And so it goes -- with U.S. media obsessively focused on such concerns as "American military and political leverage," "American fortunes" and whether "the United States can gain new traction in Iraq."
With that kind of worldview, no wonder so much news coverage is serving nationalism instead of journalism.

And the mainstream press will accomplish no more good in its current campaign of opinion manipulation that it did in its first WMD/rah rah let's go to war PR effort. I'm sitting back laughing as I watch our feckless politicians, has been power-brokers (Baker, Hamilton ad nauseam) or the current crop of "talking heads" be they retired generals or the "opinion elites" pontificate over what is to be done with Iraq. The TRUE answer is of course, nothing. Iraq is lost, we blew what chance we had to succeed there back in 2003/2004. The US is now a bit player on this gory, blood-soaked stage. Thanks to our invasion/occupation, forces have been unleashed whose unalterable goal is our vanquishment and humiliation. Thanks to our pompousness, our hubris and our egoism, that's exactly what will happen.

A sizable, cheery crowd braved the rainy and windy weather Saturday and turned out to attend the fourth annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and Holiday Stroll on Piedmont Avenue enjoyed by merchants, residents, families and children. The festivities kicked off with the tree lighting at 5 p.m. at the Key Route Plaza by the clock tower. Top photo, the lit tree is shown as the crowd of attendees mills about Piedmont Avenue. Above left, accordionist Salane Schultz led the crowd in singing holiday carols -- including "Here Comes Santa Claus" -- as a buildup to Santa's arrival. Right, Santa makes an appearance and greets the children -- who formed a line to have their photos taken with him. with their holiday wishes. "The event was a great opportunity to bring all of the community together and thank all of the residents and businesses for making Piedmont Avenue a truly special place," said Noella Teele, co-owner of Issues magazine store on Glen Avenue and a member of the Piedmont Avenue Merchants Association.

RANDOLPH – Dr. Sandy Craig brings his 17 years of family, inpatient and emergency medicine experience to Gifford Medical Center as the newest member of the hospitalist team.
Dr. Craig, who grew up in Ripton and Johnson, most recently was a family physician at The Health Center in Plainfield.
He took an indirect road to becoming a Vermont physician, however.
A 1982 graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz, Dr. Craig studied biology and psychology but put medical school on hold while he traveled to Indonesia and Africa.
He spent two-and-a-half years teaching English at a medical school and a university, the Universitas Islam Nusantara, both in Bandung, and then doing wildlife research in Kenya.
Back in the United States, he worked for a Santa Cruz, Calif., animal hospital as a research assistant in genetics at his alma mater.
He returned to Vermont to attend medical school at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, graduating in 1992. Along the way, he worked as a firefighter in his hometown of Ripton, an emergency medical technician in Middlebury and as a nurse's aide at Porter Medical Center. He also did a clinical elective at San Jose Pediatrics Hospital in Costa Rica and later at the Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council in Harare, Zimbabwe.
He completed his internship and residency in family medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Department of Family Medicine. He went on to become a clinical instructor for the UNC-Chapel Hill medical school and an emergency department doctor at UNC's Chatham Hospital for two years.
He returned to Vermont in 1998, where he has worked since as a family physician and later clinical director at Plainfield's health center with admitting privileges at Central Vermont Medical School.
The work, says Dr. Craig, included considerable care of inpatients, or hospitalized patients.
While saddened to leave his outpatient practice in Plainfield, Dr. Craig is looking forward to delving into more inpatient work at Gifford as a member of the hospitalist team. Hospitalists are physicians and mid-level providers who care for hospitalized patients. Gifford was among the first small hospitals in Vermont to have a hospitalist practice.
"I like community medicine and I'm very interested in hospital work," says Dr. Craig. "I'm excited to be working for a community-oriented hospital offering patients a personal touch."
Dr. Craig is board certified by The American Academy of Family Physicians. He's also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Vermont Medical Association, and The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. He's returned to Asia and Africa for international relief work, including to Indonesia in 2005 following the Indian Ocean tsunami.
He diagnosed New England's first case of Hantavirus in 2000. His clinical interests include infectious disease, sports medicine, and hospitalist medicine.
Dr. Craig lives in East Montpelier with his 10-year-old son, Riley, and in his free time enjoys skiing, hiking, paddling, and climbing.

Morning MoneyBeat: Bears Hibernate After Fed
MARKET SNAP: At 5:52 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures up 0.2%. Treasury yields higher. Nymex up 18 cents at $104.93. Gold up 0.2% at $1,327.70. In Europe, FTSE 100 down 0.3%, DAX down 0.2% and CAC 40 flat. In Asia, Nikkei 225 closed and Hang Seng down 0.6%.
WATCH FOR: September Markit Flash PMI (9:00 a.m. Eastern Time). Red Hat is scheduled to report quarterly results.
Last week's Fed meeting prompted a few bears to cave on their pessimistic forecasts.
BMO Capital Markets strategist Brian Belski and Barclays strategist Barry Knapp each boosted their year-end price targets on Friday. They both see the S&P 500 rising another 5.3% by year's-end, which would come on top of the 20% gain so far this year.
The one catalyst driving their decisions: the Fed keeping its $85 billion monthly bond-buying programs intact.
Mr. Belski, who boosted his target to 1800 from 1650, called the Fed's decision "a game changer" at least through the end of the year and potentially into the first half of 2014.
"Given equity investors' continued reliance on monetary policy, the resulting upside momentum is undeniable," Mr. Belski told clients on Friday.
Mr. Knapp of Barclays shared similar sentiment. He boosted his 2013 price target to 1800 from 1600. "Until 1:59 PM ET Wednesday, we continued to have a high degree of confidence in our forecast," he said. But now, he doesn't expect the Fed will start reducing its bond purchases until December at the earliest.
And given that Lawrence Summers is out of the race to be the next Fed chairman, whoever takes the helm will likely share similar views as Ben Bernanke, he says.
Mr. Belski and Mr. Knapp are part of a growing contingent of Wall Street strategists who have recently turned more optimistic about stocks as the fourth quarter approaches. The average year-end forecast among 13 strategists tracked by research firm Birinyi Associates is 1708. That number has jumped 12% from where these same strategists were positioned at the beginning of the year.
At the same time, however, the worry is complacency could settle into the markets. More and more market watchers predict the rally will continue even amid continued uncertainty over what to expect the Fed will do next.
As WSJ's E.S. Browning wrote, few expect a major pullback, since the Fed seems committed to using stimulus to prevent financial disruptions. But the outlook seems murky because investors aren't sure now how much credence to give to Fed officials when they talk about tapering.
Then there is the looming fight between Congress and the President over the federal debt limit. The Treasury Department says by mid-October, the U.S. will be unable to pay its bills unless Congress raises the debt ceiling.
But short-term moves aside, it's hard to argue against the stamina this bull market has shown in recent months and years. The S&P 500 is up 4.7% in September, 20% for the year and 153% from its bear-market low in March 2009.
"Sometimes bull markets have a mind of their own, and this one is no different," says Mr. Belski of BMO. "Therefore, conventional fundamental analysis and discipline are likely to take a back seat to momentum and technicals over the next few quarters, in our view."
Morning MoneyBeat Daily Factoid: On this day in 1846, it is believed that German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle discovered the planet Neptune.
-Steven Russolillo
BlackBerry is likely to be in focus Monday after its shares slumped Friday, losing 17% to close at $8.725 after the mobile tech company said that second-quarter results would come in well below Wall Street's expectations and that it planned to cut 4,500 jobs.
BlackBerry is scheduled to report full quarterly earnings on Sept. 27.
On Friday, the company said it expects to report revenue of around $1.6 billion for the quarter, compared with the $3.04 billion expected by analysts, according to consensus estimates from FactSet. It also expects a GAAP net operating loss in the range of $950 million to $995 million for the quarter. BlackBerry also plans to lay off 4,500 employees.
Also Friday, Apple began selling its new 5S and 5C iPhones, with reports indicating strong demand for the iPhone 5S, particularly for the one that comes in the new gold color. After just five minutes of sales, the new gold-colored iPhones were out of stock in London.
Apple stores saw predictably long lines at its retail stores worldwide on Friday, though the lines don't always provide a strong read-through to long-term demand. Shares of Apple closed at $467.41 on Friday, down 1%.
Meanwhile, Red Hat was scheduled to report second-quarter earnings after the market close on Monday. FactSet-polled analysts expect the open source software solutions provider to report quarterly earnings of 33 cents a share on sales of $372.1 million.
Merkel Wins Big: "But her party's preferred coalition ally is pushed out."
Investors Look Past the Fed's Reprieve: "Investors partied on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve put off cuts in its financial-stimulus program. They woke up with a hangover."
Jessica Bibliowicz Joining Bridge Growth Partners: "Ms. Bibliowicz, one of the most well-known women in finance, will join Sander Levy, Alok Singh and Kevin Parker at the recently launched buyout firm."
For BlackBerry, Consumers Aren't the Only Problem: "BlackBerry's last-ditch move to abandon its consumer business and focus on selling devices to companies is a risky bet that it can hang on to ground that is rapidly eroding."
Ahead of the Tape: Don't Bet the House on Homebuilder Shares: "KB Home and Lennar are expected to post increases in quarterly earnings on Tuesday amid improving market conditions, but homebuilder stocks look pricey."
Harvard Plans Record Capital Campaign: "Harvard University aims to raise $6.5 billion by 2018 in what the school bills as the largest-ever capital campaign in higher education."
Heard on the Street: U.S. Coal vs. the World: "Shares are inexpensive, but factors including cheap natural gas and an expected reduction in China's reliance on U.S. coal should give would-be investors pause."
iPhone Sales Test Apple Strategy: "Apple Inc.'s latest iPhones went on sale in 11 countries Friday and the initial demand tilted toward the more-expensive model, particularly the gold-colored device."
Hog Prices Fall Back After Rally: "Hog traders are bracing for a glut of swine—and lower prices—now that late summer heat that kept many of the pigs off the market has ended."
Twitter Pitches Itself to TV Networks: "Twitter has been courting television networks and advertisers as it rolls out more-sophisticated marketing products. New partnerships are likely this week, as Twitter executives gather with the media industry for the Adweek conference in New York."
What Matters for Global Markets in the Week Ahead: "The most important macroeconomic data and policy news events expected in the forthcoming week."

News 12 First at Five / Friday, July 27, 2012
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- Three candidates are hoping to be the next magistrate judge for Columbia County.
This is a race that will ultimately be decided during the primaries. There are three Republican candidates on the ticket with no Democratic
opponents, so unless there is a runoff, the winner of Tuesday's primary
will be the next magistrate judge.
Jason Troiano is one of the candidates.
"I'm ready to do the job on day one. I'm not going to have to take office and learn on the job. I'm ready to serve the people right now," he said.
Troiano has been the associate magistrate judge in Columbia County under Judge Bobby Christine for the past three years.
"I am doing the job right now. I have been on the job since 2009. Judge Christine has been on active military duty for most of this year, so I have been running the office, serving in that role," he said.
But Troiano isn't the only one who claims experience is his strength.
Jason Hasty, another candidate, says, "We needed a new chief magistrate, and I have the most experience out of all the candidates. I have 21 years of experience."
Hasty has worked for the public defender's office in Columbia County for seven years. He resigned from that job to run full time for the magistrate court.
"It's been a good race, it's been a tough race, and we're just asking the voters to make a 'Hasty' decision in this race," he said.
But a third candidate also claims he's got the most experience.
"I'm the best man for the job because I'm the only candidate who practices in all of the areas of law that the chief magistrate judge needs to have a command on," said Christopher Hudson to News 12's Laura Warren.
Hudson says his experience is the most relevant to the job.
"The other candidates, on the other hand, their practice focus is felony criminal defense and that's what sets me apart," he said.
Troiano says he plans to continue the community service program and wants to reach out to youth offenders to keep them from coming back through the system.
Hudson says he plans to be tough on crime and wants to expand the community service program and place a greater emphasis on code enforcement.
Hasty says he is very active with the youth in the community and plans to follow the letter of the law.
The incumbent judge, Bobby Christine, won't be running for re-election.
He was called into active military duty around the beginning of the year.

This is my favorite new toy. I've been wanting something like Dropbox for so long and FINALLY someone has delivered.
Unbelievably awesome service. I can't get enough of this thing. If anyone would like a private beta invite I think I have one left.
I can invite people. Send me an email to rbrimhall at gmail dot com
Dropbox is amazing, it's already revolutionized the way I work on my computers, I'm using it to sync all my main projects and it's wonderful. But it really changed my workflow when I started using with a team of 10-20 other animators (at any given time) generating a lot of assets very quickly and doing dailies. Suddenly we went from the very painful experience of using a variety of different ways to get people files (forum, cms, email, ftp, flash drives, etc.) as we only meet in person once a week and all of those other tools went away overnight and file management has been easy and seamless since.
Very eagerly awaiting the chance to buy more storage.
For those needing invites, I've run out of mine and it's a tricky invite system that doesn't make it super easy, but you can try to get one from Mashable Invites here:
What vesperdem said and . . can I get an invite? :P

I caught a bunch of Big Ten conference games over the weekend getting another look at prospects Kevin Plawecki, Cameron Perkins, Micah Johnson, Pat Biondi and Torsten Boss. I'm not going to share opinions on those players at this point in time as my thoughts, combined with those polled from a handful of scouts, will be shared in my state previews of Indiana and Michigan. I'm also responsible for Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming and Montana, so look for those reports, as well as all of the state previews in the coming weeks. In addition, we hope to get the first batch of state-by-state lists up on the site tomorrow. If you have never checked out these lists be sure to do so, as they are truly unrivaled by any other online/print prospect publication due to the sheer amount of draft-eligible prospects listed.
Here are some of the players that I watched that won't be part of these reports.
Michael O'Neil:
O'Neil is a sophomore, draft-eligible next year, and created some buzz entering the season from those that follow the college game/Big Ten in addition to his showing during team practices/scrimmages last fall. He started off the season extremely hot, and while he's still having a solid season, his power numbers have cooled. It's very easy to recognize his size, strength and athleticism, with strength in his upper body and room to add more throughout. He looks like a slugger and takes some big, aggressive and confident hacks in the batter's box. He went 1-4 with 2 K in Saturday's game against Purdue, swinging at some bad breaking balls down and away in the dirt for each of his 2 punchouts, so it was pretty clear pretty quick that some plate discipline adjustments need to be made. I've seen O'Neil one other time, and look forward to getting more looks at him between now and this time next year.
Sam Selman
I watched both Saturday's and Sunday's games from the Vandy/LSU series, and got to catch a handful of impressive arms. I kept my focus on those arms and didn't spend much time evaluating the hitters. Selman got the start on Saturday for the Commodores, a live-armed lefty that has struggled quite a bit with control issues. I have seen Selman pitch before, twice in the Northwoods League, but never for Vanderbilt. Since I've handled the NWL reports the past few years, I am plenty familiar with him and am happy to see that he's finally getting some meaningful innings. He's tall and lean with wiry strength and broad shoulders, giving him room to add a few pounds over the next few years. He has an incredibly live arm with great arm speed, and while he continues to struggle to throw strikes consistently, he can be effectively wild. He also is difficult to hit. His slurvy breaking ball is also a plus pitch thrown in the 79-81 range, and showed the ability to drop it in for strikes, something I had not seen from him before. He threw 102 pitches in 5 innings of work while walking 4, a pretty good indication that he was continually working deep in the count. Regardless of the control problems, he has a relatively fresh arm and the ability to produce 91-95 fastballs, and touch a few ticks higher at times, easily, as a lefty. If starting doesn't work out long-term, I could see him becoming a dominant short reliever a la Dan Plesac back in the day.
Aaron Nola:
Nola is pretty much the opposite of Selman, leap-frogging Ryan Eades in LSU's weekend rotation, at least for this series. However, Nola can dial his fastball up to 93, and as I talked with a player exec a week ago, it wouldn't be surprising to hear that he's sitting at 91-93 and peaking around 95 two years from now. I profiled Nola a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not going to add much else other than that it's really easy to like him as a pitcher. He changes speeds and commands his stuff so well, and as noted, his size and projectability leads me to believe he'll be throwing harder more consistently in a couple of years.
Tyler Beede:
Beede was one of my favorite pitchers from the 2010 PG/Aflac All-American Classic, with great projectability similar to one of my favorites from the 2009 PG/Aflac game, Kevin Gausman. Beede's changeup is a plus pitch already, thrown with excellent arm speed that simply drops down and in on RH batters, down and away from LH hitters. He could throw his changeup with every pitch he throws and have success on most days, that's how good of a pitch it is. Beede also snapped off a couple of solid breaking balls, but it's nowhere near as advance as his change. He has somewhat of an old school, big roundhouse delivery from the windup in which he brings his hands high over his head and employs a fairly big leg kick. That said, he repeats it well, and shows a mature confidence on the mound. He struggled to command his fastball initially, leading to a lot of pitches thrown early, and walked 5 batters in his 3.2 innings of work. Certainly a lot of pressure was thrust upon this young man after being the highest drafted player from last year's draft not to sign, as he's clearly talented and one of the way early favorites to go among the top 3-5 overall picks in 2014, but not surprisingly, he also has some work to do.
Kevin Ziomek:
I saw Ziomek much earlier this season and he wasn't as sharp as what I've seen in the past. He's a prototypical lefty that can dial his fastball up to the mid-90s at time, but typically sitting around 87-91, mixing his full assortment of pitches and hitting his spots with a low 3/4 delivery. He was painting the corners particularly well with his fastball on this day.
Ryan Eades:
Another pitcher I've profiled recently, and as I've gushed about before, LSU has such an embarassment of riches in their starting staff. Like Gausman (and Nola), he has great size with a tall, lean frame and a very live arm. Eades can dial his fastball up to 95-97, sitting at 92-94, and then drops in a very sharp power curveball. Like Beede, he threw more pitches than he needed to as his command wasn't as sharp as what I've seen before and had a relatively short outing at 4.2 innings. He should be a top 5-10 overall pick next year, and with continued progression may just be in that conversation for the No. 1 overall pick.
That's enough for tonight. I hope to have the time to view St. Mary's/Louisville in the next few days as RHP Derek Thompson, Matt Koch and Nick Burdi all took the mound for the Cardinals, while Jeremy Baltz had a big day at the plate.
To start, I incorrectly called Jeff Thompson Derek in my last post, but here are my notes from the Louisville/St. John's contest from last weekend. I'm not sure if I'll have any notes for this weekend's action as my focus is on our 2012 MLB draft reports.
Jeff Thompson:
Thompson was named the
No. 1 prospect in the NECBL
last summer, and is projected to be a first round pick for the 2013 draft. The first thing that is evident is his size, as he's 6-5 or 6-5 and close to 250 pounds. While he carries that size well, he has some CC Sabathia to him in that he's a very good athlete, but will have to watch his conditioning as he gets older. He has a high waist and is strong throughout. The ball explodes out of his hand with a very quick arm, and his fastball is hard to catch up with. He has a very nice, sharp, short-breaking slider that gives him two very good pitches. He hit the corners pretty well, and gave up only his 1st HR of the year to Baltz in the 2nd.
Matt Koch:
Koch entered the season as Louisville's closer, but has now assumed a more versatile short relief role, tossing 2 innings in this game as Derek Self has taken over as their late inning stopper. Koch has a tall, skinny well proportioned build. He has a live arm, employing a low 3/4 delivery. He too has a short, sharp breaking slider to go along with his low to mid-90s fastball. I would like to see Koch return to a starting role as a pro, and I'm guessing whoever drafts him will be thinking the same, at least to begin his pro career.
Nick Burdi:
Burdi was one of the more promising members of Louisville's most recent recruiting class, and has assumed an integral role out Louisville's bullpen as a freshman. The best way to describe his delivery is unconventional. He lands upright and doesn't seem to incorporate his whole body into his delivery as he could. That said, that delivery creates a fair amount of deception, and the ball appears to explode out of his hand. His fastball has very good late, darting life down in the zone, and he makes his delivery work for him. As he currently throws he is projected to continue to develop as a short reliever, although I could see Louisville inserting him into their rotation next year.
Jeremy Baltz:
Baltz was one of the players I kept my eye on as the season opened, as he has put up very good numbers since his freshman year at St. John's when he hit 24 home runs. He hasn't matched that power with the new BBCOR bats, but who else has? He has good size with strength throughout, and is an outfielder in the mold of TCU's Jason Coats, who I have compared to Jason Bay in the past. He jumped all over a belt-high Thompson fastball in the 2nd to jack a solo shot, and just missed another doing the same on a hanging slider in the 4th, only to pull his hands in to go with a pitch in that same at-bat to lace a single up the middle. He has good bat speed and strong hands and wrists, and could develop into a run producing LF at the next level.

DeCadence: Road Trip...VRRRROOOM.
Hello Fans!
ICCA is over and we've had a few weeks to recuperate. We have bigger and better things to move on to--including new songs!
We had a great time preparing for ICCA's and love our new wardrobe. Thanks to everyone who supported us--fans and alumni alike. We love you all! Here are some pictures. We are also sad to see Chris Andersen go. We'll miss him on Sproul!
Right now, DeCadence is on the road in Los Angeles for Spring Tour. We just sang at The Grove in Hollywood and Venice Beach (we met some fairly interesting people there). We also had a concert with family and friends in Sun Valley where we made some good money, Yay! We're in Hermosa beach and are excited for more adventures. More updates and pictures to come!
Happy Spring Break!
DeCadence Love,
Labels: A Cappella, Berkeley, DeCadence, ICCA, Los Angeles, Rainbow, Sexy, Tour, University

Run Anywhere this 4th of July to Support Autism Speaks
This is a guest post by Autism Speaks' staffer Shawnie Keenan.
The Autism Speaks 5K is only just days away! This year is extra special in that we celebrate our 10th anniversary and are running in memory of the race's first announcer, Chip Shooshan. On Sunday, July 4, runners and walkers will come together and run/walk through the Potomac neighborhood looking to kick off their Independence Day weekend festivities with a real bang! This year, we are introducing an entirely new way to run this event called "Run Anywhere." The concept was first introduced by Steve Kirstein who found out that there were a lot of people who were interested in participating but were, unfortunately, out of town! So, what better way to get more people involved than by allowing them to essentially run this great event anywhere around the world and still receive the very stylish blue race tee shirt. Without further adieu: if you are interested in running a 5k on July 4th and cannot join us in Potomac, please visit www.autismspeaks5k.org and click "Run Anywhere" to register! Registration closes at 9 a.m. Eastern on Thursday, July 1, so register now.
Where will you be running this year?

Many bands and solo artists hesitate to debut new material on tour before the new CD is out, preferring to wait until after the release date, when fans have had a chance to hear and get familiar with the new music.
Caravan of Thieves is not one of those bands. In fact, a number of songs on the Connecticut-based group's latest CD, "The Funhouse," were part of the group's live shows for months before they were released.
So fans that had previously discovered the unique musical stylings of Caravan of Thieves already had an idea of what to expect when "The Funhouse" arrived last April. Others are getting to hear "The Funhouse" material as the group tours this winter.
What they're experiencing is a group that uses acoustic instruments - with Fuzz (he keeps his last name a secret) and his wife, Carrie Sangiovanni, on guitars and vocals, Ben Dean on violin and Brian Anderson on bass (and all four members chipping in on percussion created with all manner of pots, pans, buckets and other household items) - to create a festive sound that blends swinging gypsy jazz with highly melodic pop and plenty of sweet boy/girl vocals.
The songs and performances on "The Funhouse" certainly give a sense of the spirited fun of the band's live show.
The CD is based around an amusement park motif - a fitting metaphor for the Caravan of Thieves' vibe - but it also shows that Fuzz and Sangiovanni have developed into fine songwriters who write seriously memorable hooks and vocal melodies.
The music stands up just fine on its own, but in concert, Caravan of Thieves presents an experience for all of the senses. Dressed in their turn-of-the-century outfits (as in 1900, not 2000), the foursome rocks, dances and even acts out certain aspects of its songs on stage.
It all makes for a highly interactive show.
"I think some people think we're going to get up there and it's like going to see a Broadway play or something," Fuzz said in a late-February phone interview. "It is, first and foremost, a musical concert, and we're up there playing instruments the whole time. So it's like there's only so much of it that can be acted out or choreographed. We don't really choreograph anything. But we move around a lot, and we have little things that we play against each other, and certain songs, certain sections of songs, call for more things where we might be speaking. We're certainly more visual and interactive and theatrical than say your typical acoustic band or bluegrass band."
The band self-released a debut CD, "Bouquet," in 2009 and followed that with a live release, "Mischief House," in 2010.

An evening of reflection on suffering and faith featuring the 2012 Golden Eagle Cine Award winning documentary The Labyrinth. The film depicts the remembrance of suffering by the Polish Catholic artist Marian Koloziej, an Auschwitz survivor. The film will be presented by the producer Fr. Ron Schmidt S.J. with further commentary and reflection by Fr. John Pawlikowski of Catholic Theological Union, Chicago and Dr. David Novak, Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Toronto.
This event is sponsored by the Adam Mickiewicz Foundation and the Polish Consulate, and hosted by Regis College.
Program, beginning at 7:30pm
Presentation by Produce, Fr. Ron Schmidt, S.J.
Screening of The Labyrinth
Reflections by Fr. John Pawlikowski and Dr. David Novak
Response by Fr. Ron Schmidt, S.J.
Questions from the Audience
Youth Symposium, Tuesday March 5, 2013, 12:15pm to 2:15pm
Ron Schmidt and Marina Nemat (http://www.marinanemat.com/) will join a youth panel and students from area schools to reflect on the themes of faith and social justice raised by the film. The format will follow the usual Regis College youth symposium model (adopted from the Thomas Moore Institute in Montreal), which focuses, in this instance, on a one page selection of four or five quotes taken from the transcript of the film. One of the youth panelists will read one of the quotes and offer an initial comment or question for the other panelists to address. The conversation then opens up to exchange with the larger audience. The process is repeated with each of the quotes. The text remains the "expert" and everyone asks "what can I learn from the quote?" The resource people are careful to take no more than their turn but add some depth to the conversation. This approach promotes active engagement and peer leadership among the youth.
Area high schools are invited to send delegations of 4-8 students accompanied by a teacher. For further information, please contact email@example.com .
Youth Symposium Registration
Please register by supply the teacher(s) name, the name of the school and the number of student delegates at the Youth Symposium Registration Link; please click here.
About The Layrinth
Memory, art, love, and hell collide as an Auschwitz survivor finally confronts the horrors of his past after 50 years of silence.
"I built Auschwitz because I arrived there in the first transport. It was also true that for almost fifty years I did not speak about Auschwitz. But nevertheless throughout that whole time Auschwitz was present in everything I did." -Marian Kolodziej
Marian Kolodziej was on one of the first transports to enter Auschwitz. He was given number 432. He survived and never spoke of his experience for 50 years. After a serious stroke in 1993, he began rehabilitation by doing pen and ink drawings depicting the experiences he and others endured in the concentration camp. These drawings, in their skeletal detail, are a gripping depiction of the pain, death, and horrors of the camp. While most of the drawings represent the memories of a young man's hellish experiences in Auschwitz, some tell stories of small acts of kindness and dignity.
Marian's story of survival, of persistence, of life before, during, and after Auschwitz are a testament to the human spirit. Marian's drawings and art installations, which he called The Labyrinth, fill the large basement of a church near Auschwitz and draw visitors into the horrific reality of the holocaust.
'This is not an exhibition, nor art. These are not pictures. These are words locked in drawings…I propose a journey by way of this labyrinth marked by the experience of the fabric of death…It is a rendering of honor to all those who have vanished in ashes.' -Marian Kolodziej
In The Labyrinth, Marian takes the audience on a journey through his drawings and art installations. Through the blending of his testimony and the graphic drawings, we explore the memories and nightmares of a man, who like so many others buried experiences deep within. Why would a confrontation with death late in life, trigger the need to record his long-suppressed memories? And why in this graphic, metaphorical way? This documentary raises these questions in a visually stunning way.
Marian was in the same roll call and cell block as Fr. Maximilian Kolbe, who voluntarily took the place of a prisoner condemned to death and was subsequently executed. This self-less act became legendary in Auschwitz and inspired the entire camp---somehow an act of love and courage stood as a testament to good in the face of overwhelming evil. Marian's numerous drawings of Kolbe are stark and iconographic. Kolbe is now a saint in the Catholic Church.
This is eyewitness testimony that is unique in the annals of documenting the Holocaust. Marian is a Polish Catholic, who has used his drawings to give testimony to the horrors of Auschwitz and of the world today, and whose body of work provides a testament to suffering and 'man's inhumanity to man.'
The documentary will be presented by Ron Schmidt, S.J., a producer and writer of the film. Following the screening of the 37 minute documentary, Ron Schmidt, S.J. will be joined by Professors John Pawlikowski (Chicago Theological Union) and David Novak (University of Toronto) to explore the significance of the film.

Thibodaux man beat woman with hedge trimmer, police say
Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 11:46 p.m.
A Thibodaux man was arrested Monday night for beating a woman with hedge trimmers, Thibodaux Police said.
Brian Jeroud Nixon, 26, of 125 Elmira Court, and the woman were driving in the 2100 block of Audubon Avenue when Nixon pulled into a parking lot, got out of the car and pulled the woman out of the vehicle about 5 p.m. Sunday, police said.
Nixon threw the woman on the ground and punched and kicked her, police said. Nixon then began striking the woman with the trimmers he pulled from the car.
The woman called police during the attack, and Nixon fled in his car, police said.
The woman was taken to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center for treatment of her injuries. Police said the victim had "multiple strike points, lacerations, and bruising," said police spokesman David Melancon.
Nixon was arrested when Thibodaux Police responded to an unrelated call for assistance Monday night from the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office. Terrebonne deputies were responding to a fight on Elmira Court. Nixon was speaking with a Terrebonne deputy when a Thibodaux officer recognized him and remembered there was a warrant for his arrest, police said.
Nixon also had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court, according to police said.
Nixon is charged with domestic abuse battery and aggravated battery with a dangerous weapon. He is being held at the Lafourche jail on a $30,000 bond.
