Genome editing has had a real boost recently through the interest in CRISPR technology. However, whilst the majority of CRISPR papers being published utilize the technology to functionally disrupt (knockout) a gene using an NHEJ-based mis-repair system, using CRISPR to purposefully edit the genome in a more controlled manner is a slightly more challenging proposition that calls upon the endogenous homology-directed repair system and requires one additional component not needed in knockout experiments—a "donor" DNA template.
For the most part, researchers have been using either single-stranded oligos or double-stranded plasmids to provide this homology template. Horizon has a long history of using rAAV (recombinant adeno-associated virus) to edit and create hundreds of isogenic lines, and we were therefore curious to see whether the combination of rAAV with a CRISPR-induced break might lead to levels of targeted recombination higher than seen with either an oligo or a double-stranded plasmid in combination with CRISPR.
It has been known for some time that rAAV is able to drive levels of homologous recombination that are up to 1,000-fold higher than when using a simple plasmid. Despite this vast improvement compared with plasmids, the levels of recombination seen are still relatively modest using rAAV alone. Recombination rates have however been seen to be boosted significantly when a double-strand break is introduced in the vicinity of the homology region.
To investigate the effect of combining CRISPR and rAAV, we used CRISPR to introduce double strand breaks at various points in the genome of a cell line (HCT116) carrying a disabled copy of the GFP gene on one chromosome. Figure 1 shows the organization of the artificial GFP gene split into three exons, with the third exon carrying a mutation which prematurely terminates the GFP protein rendering it nonfunctional. Conversion of the A residue to a C restores GFP functionality. The location and relative distance of five different gRNA targets sites from the point mutation are shown below the expanded Exon 3 region.
Figure 1. We used both a plasmid and rAAV derived from that same plasmid as a donor and measured the ability of these donors to stimulate a genetic modification at a range of distances from the induced cut site (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Remarkably, the AAV donor performs markedly better than the corresponding plasmid with an average 10-fold improvement at most distances. We are looking to extend this work, and recent results comparing rAAV with oligo and plasmid donors at different concentrations have supported these findings.
CRISPR has already proven itself to be an incredibly useful tool for disruption of multiple genes. However, we feel that the true power of gene editing and the promise of CRISPR will shine when researchers can routinely recreate the full variety of patient-specific SNPs, which may be contributing to disease or resistance to treatments. CRISPR alone may not be sufficient to fully realize this dream, but through combinations of technologies, like rAAV-assisted CRISPR genome editing, we hope to take researchers one step closer to this reality.

First Interstate Bank will sponsor rollover calf auctions at more than 20 auction markets in South Dakota, Montana and neighboring states in the next 30 days.
Proceeds from the rollover auctions will go to the Rancher Relief Fund to aid producers who lost livestock in the recent storm.
Bank representatives reached out to every barn in the region, urging them to help with relief efforts. Some barns are hosting separate relief fundraising projects but many others were pleased to join the effort.
Shawn Rost, Northern Hills Market President, said the chain of financial institutions will also work with a few other auction markets such as the one in Valentine, Neb., in order to cover the entire territory affected by the recent storm Atlas.
"With the tragic losses we wanted to donate something, and we thought we could give $20,000 or $30,000, but we wanted to help more," Rost said, explaining that the banks will contribute whatever it takes to purchase a heifer calf from each the barns participating, and they hope that after the rollover auctions are complete and the donations are tallied, their gift — aided by generous folks around the region — will have grown to $150,000-$500,000 to help producers hurt by the storm.
"We've been working closely with the Stock Growers, the Cattlemen and the Sheep Growers to build the relief fund and we wanted to put a big multiplier on our contribution," said Rost.
While the bank will purchase a heifer calf at every sale, a representative may not be available for every single event.
"We're talking Sioux Falls, S.D., and Aberdeen, S.D., and western Montana. It's such a wide geographic area. For some of them, we'll give the salebarn the money and they'll buy the calf, because we can't be at every one," Rost explained.
But bank representatives plan to participate in as many as of the rollover auctions as possible.
"We are a long-term bank," Rost said, of their attitude toward their customers dealing with significant livestock losses. "We've talked to many customers and non-customers that have lost livestock. We're encouraging them whether they are our customer or not, to come and visit with us for advice and support."
Rost said the bank has on staff some individuals who have worked with ag producers for over 30 years and can help in a variety of situations.
"Everyone's circumstance is different. Everyone's needs are different. We were here yesterday and we will be here tomorrow to take care of our customer. We are here for long term banking relationships," said Rost.
"This is a case of neighbors helping neighbors," Rost went on to say. "The ag industry takes care of our own." ❖

Does anybody here own a 09 winter classic jersey?
I think I found a real one(from a seller that both me and a couple of friends have bought from before) on ebay. but i have a couple questions about it.
First off the link to the ebay auction itself:
-There is no nhl shield logo on the collar under the laces. Is that normal?
-The lettering on the nameplate seems a bit jumbly,although that could be the photo itself,does it look normal to someone who owns the jersey?
-Finally the numbers & logos look really shiny,almost as if on a fake jersey? Again it could be the photos,but does it look legit?
I've been kicking myself for years for not buying one of these when they first came out,i didn't make the same mistake with the new one and picked myself up a Zetterberg WC in the spring. I'd love to complete the Euro Twin's set,and if I can get a 09 WC jersey with Datsyuk on it,it'd be killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Does it look legit to anyone on here who has one of these jerseys(even if it's not a Datsyuk)?
Thanks for the help guys!

We are losing the holiday meaning
November 23, 2013
Thanksgiving has always held a special place as a holiday. First it is a celebration that dates back to Jamestown and Plymouth. Abraham Lincoln gave it official status in 1863....

When junior defensive tackle Greg Webb and teammate Dajaun Drennon weren't allowed into the recruiting lounge at Beaver Stadium in a snafu after the Iowa game last fall, many Penn State fans wrote off the Nittany Lions' chances at landing the high school All-American from New Jersey.
Luckily for them, Webb didn't write off the Lions.
Webb, the 6-foot-2, 295-pounder from undefeated South Jersey Group 3 champion Erial Timber Creek High School who is rated the sixth-best defensive tackle and 78th-best prospect in the country by Rivals.com, became the seventh member of Penn State's 2013 recruiting class by making a verbal commitment on Thursday afternoon.
Article Photos
Webb, who already has been picked for January's U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, becomes the third defensive lineman in the class, joining fellow New Jersey All-American Garrett Sickels and Council Rock South's Curtis Cothran, both ends.
"I felt comfortable with area, I love the coaching staff and feel it's a great place to be," Webb said to the Cherry Hill Courier-Post on Thursday night of his reasons for choosing Penn State. "I've made a couple of visits and had great experiences. It's a great feeling.''
Webb had his pick of 32 colleges that offered scholarships, a list that included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Iowa, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Southern Cal, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Washington and Wisconsin. In the end, he chose Penn State over Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama and Texas A&M.
"In my mind, he's probably the top defensive tackle in the country,'' Timber Creek coach Rob Hinson said. "Greg is probably the strongest player I've ever coached. He's so explosive. He has a low center of gravity. He's hard-working; he's only been in our program one year and was name captain, so Greg is not a guy you have to motivate. He's technically sound for a high school lineman. He uses his hands well and runs down plays.''
Webb reportedly cancelled a planned last-minute visit to Virginia after making his decision. He also had taken trips to Rutgers, South Carolina and Maryland but was leaning heavily to Penn State after heading up to Happy Valley on March 24.
"There was some pressure, but I spent a lot of time thinking everything through. I didn't see a lot of places. I didn't see the Ohio States, the Alabamas. But I don't see any negatives at all. I'm relieved," Webb said.
Hinson said defensive line coach Larry Johnson's presence on the Lion staff also factored heavily in the Lions' favor in landing Webb.
As a junior with the Chargers after coming over from Paul VI High School in Haddon Township, Webb had 94 tackles - 87 solos - to go along with nine sacks, 18 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and an interception for the 12-0 Chargers playing the one, three and five technique positions in Hinson's 4-2-5 defense, which also included Drennon at end and Rutgers recruit Quanzell Lambert at linebacker. They led Timber Creek to its first group title.
Webb was named first team all-area by the Courier-Post and first team all-South Jersey by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"In high school, he could play defensive end. We used him there when Quanzell was out for a couple of games,'' Hinson said. "In our first three games he showed what he could do. The first game we played an I[-Formation] team, and he blew up their line. The next week against a Wing-T team with all the trap blocking, he was dominant. Then we played a Spread team and he had I think three sacks.''
Hinson said he knew he had something special the first time he saw Webb.
"He had the look of an SEC lineman. He has those broad shoulders and a big base, but he walked on his toes like a skill player,'' Hinson said. "At our first practice, he said he wanted to take on Quanzell Lambert because he knew that was our top guy. They went one-on-one. It was epic.''
Webb vowed to bring that kind of attitude to Penn State.
"A tenacious player who works hard," Webb said when asked what the Lions are getting in him. "They felt the same way.''
Although he had the opportunity to play his college ball in the south, Webb was excited to go to a Big Ten school.
"Big Ten football is one of the top football organizations in the country. It's going to be a great experience," Webb said.
Webb also is a standout heavyweight wrestler. He was 34-2 as a sophomore and opened his junior year 3-0 before being sidelined with an ACL tear. He used to box, as well.
Webb's commitment eased the pain of a few recent reversals for Penn State in the recruiting arena. The most recent came on Tuesday when Washington, D.C. cornerback Devin Butler, once considered a Lion lean, verbally committed to Notre Dame.

Friday, March 28, 2014
Former Exchange Club President Dennis Lott was apprehended and arrested the evening of Friday, March 28 in Walterboro.
Charleston County Sheriffs Office Maj. Eric Watson said Lott was being transported to the Al Cannon Detention Center in North Charleston as of about 7:30 p.m.
The arrest ended without incident, according to Watson.
Lott is accused of writing a check to himself in the amount of $190,000 and cashing it on July 19.
The Exchange Club is in charge of running the annual Coastal Carolina Fair in Ladson.
CCSO held a press conference in North Charleston to discuss the case. CCSO Assistant Sheriff Mitch Lucas said deputies and Lott had made arrangements that he would bring himself in for questioning that day.
Lucas said at the time he had no reason to believe Lott would be a flight risk.
In this kind of case, documentation is important, Lucas said at the press conference. We have reason to believe he wrote himself a check not for the benefit of the Exchange Club.
The official charge is breach of trust, Lucas said.
The criminal act is writing the check and cashing it for personal use, Lucas said. We found nothing that would have been an indication to keep an eye on him, no red flags.
He was a longtime member of the Exchange Club.
He signed the check with his own name and made it out to himself. In his role as president he wrote checks to various organizations, according to Lucas.
The suspicion came to light after the Exchange Club performed a forensic audit.
Weve been on this case for 28 hours, Lucas said. This would be considered a white-collar crime. These kind of cases rely almost entirely on documentation.
Lott could likely face up to 10 years if convicted, Lucas said.

When the pope speaks these days, people listen. They listen because they are likely to be surprised by what they hear.
Pope Francis, an Argentine of Italian heritage and the first Jesuit pontiff, surprised the Catholic world on Thursday when his thoughts on hot-button issues such as abortion, contraception and gay marriage were published by the Jesuit journals America Magazine and La Civiltà Cattolica.
Pope Francis told the interviewer, the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, editor in chief of the Vatican-endorsed La Civiltà Cattolica, that church leaders spend too much time on dogma and divisive issues and not enough time working to make the church "a home for all."
"It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time," Francis said. "The dogmatic and moral teachings of the church are not all equivalent. The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently. We have to find a new balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel."
His comments rippled through the church like a tsunami, provoking much discussion and debate. Was Francis signaling the start of a reform effort or just trying to restore some balance? Did this signify a new era of inclusiveness and perhaps a redefinition of sin, or was the pope only trying to shift the emphasis of worldwide Catholicism toward compassion and service?
U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, told "CBS This Morning" on Friday that these wedge issues not only obsess the Catholic Church but also concern many.
"Every pope has a different strategy," Dolan said. "What I think (Francis is) saying is, Those are important issues and the church has got to keep talking about them, but we need to talk about them in a fresh new way. If we keep kind of a negative finger-wagging tone, it's counterproductive."
This was a significant statement in itself, coming from a church leader who has been especially vocal about the church's opposition to contraception, abortion and gay marriage.
On Friday, Francis adjusted the balance once again, attributing abortion rates to today's "throw-away culture."
"Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord," he told a group of gynecologists, encouraging them to abide by their consciences.
Pendulum swings
Despite this reassertion of church doctrine, many observers of the new pope said they were pleased by his recent comments.
"Every day he surprises us," said the Most Rev. Robert E. Guglielmone, bishop of the Diocese of Charleston. "He said a lot of things in that interview. There is nothing there that I would find difficult. ... He's asking us as a church to look at the big picture."
Guglielmone said the pope's perspective is "helpful and challenging," and that his emphasis on ministering to people, on remaining accessible and compassionate, is an important message.
"I welcome his insights," Guglielmone said. "He's just got a way about him that's refreshing."
He added that he thinks the pope is trying to adjust priorities, not abandon doctrine.
"The Holy Father has certainly indicated that we're not pulling back in terms of our issues" — contraception, abortion, immigration, outreach to the poor — he's only trying to strike a new balance. "The church is a lot more than just these hot-button issues," Guglielmone said. "They're important but that's not what we're all about."
Agnes Galasso, 73, has been an active Catholic her whole life. A nun for 35 years, the North Charleston resident said she was delighted that Pope Francis has shifted the emphasis away from political hot-button topics.
"He gives me a lot of hope," Galasso said. "I guess I'm not so surprised (at Francis' comments) because I so believe in what he's doing, knowing that only God can judge a person. I just think the basis from which he operates, the simplicity of his life and his deep spirituality, I think he's just living what he believes."
And the modesty and self-effacement he's displayed, his concern for the poor and his ascetic inclinations, set a good example, Galasso said. "(It) is a wonderful thing for the church."
She said she agrees with the church's stance on abortion but has long worried that the church alienates people more than it helps them.
"That's another whole group of people that's calling out to be reached in some way," she said. "I would like to see the church do more in the support and counseling of people who have suffered from that, or any other type of physical or emotional trauma."
When it comes to gay marriage, she goes further than Francis. While she remains uncomfortable about the use of the word "marriage" in the context of same-sex unions, she insists that homosexuality is not a choice, and therefore questions whether it can be considered a sin.
"It's not environmental, and therefore, in God's eyes, each person is whole and acceptable," Galasso said. "It's so hard to make rules and laws about things like this. Only God knows a person's heart."
She said Francis' recent musings affirms her own attitudes as a practicing Catholic, and that his effort to strike a better balance within the church is most welcomed.
"The pendulum has to swing both ways before it hits that middle way," she said. "I'm just uncomfortable with the pendulum being so noisy."
Road to reform?
Warren Redman-Gress, the director of the gay rights advocacy group Alliance for Full Acceptance, was a Catholic priest for 13 years, serving in the Diocese of Rockville Center, Long Island (the same jurisdiction Guglielmone came from).
Redman-Gress left the priesthood because of the celibacy requirement and the church's growing antipathy toward gays, he said. It did not help that the sex abuse scandal was wreaking havoc inside the church and prompting some to vilify its many homosexual leaders.
He said he was somewhat surprised by the pope's recent comments, noting that Francis seemed more concerned with pastoral care than dogma.
"But my suspicion is that he is still holding fast to the line that a person's sexuality itself may be sinful, objectively sinful simply (because you are) living out the sexuality that you've been given," Redman-Gress said.
Francis has avoided declaring homosexuality a sin. "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" he told reporters on the flight back to Rome from Brazil earlier this summer.
He has emphasized the needs of the individual over controversial issues and enforceable doctrines.
"How are we treating the people of God?" he said in his interview published Thursday. "I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess. The church's ministers must be merciful, take responsibility for the people and accompany them like the good Samaritan, who washes, cleans and raises up his neighbor. This is pure Gospel. God is greater than sin."
Redman-Gress said he welcomed these sentiments, but remained concerned that the pope's who-am-I-to-judge attitude nevertheless implies that someone else is judging.
"We are still years and miles away from a pope recognizing that homosexuality is a normal experience of human life, and as a normal experience should be celebrated, not avoided or condemned," he said. "I believe that God approves of me living out my life and of my love for someone who happens to be another man."
Mark Dickson, vice president of Mission at Roper St. Francis Healthcare and a practicing Catholic, said he, too, is happy with the new tone and perspective.
"I think he's helped getting the church refocused in a wonderful way, back on love and compassion, the main emphasis of what we should be about," Dickson said. "He's simply reminding all of us, Catholics and all people of good will, to help each other and have a special attention on care for the poor. That's been his focus all along. ... He's not changing any of the church teachings, he's just refocusing to say care for people first and foremost, and express that compassion and love that we should all have for each other."
By reframing the issues and emphasizing the need to minister to individual people and reserve judgment for God, the pope could be setting the stage for doctrinal reform in the future, Dickson speculated.
"Maybe he's leading the church and all of us towards a more inclusive future," he said. "He himself has said he has developed his own thinking. He was too autocratic early on, and now he's become more open and compassionate. Maybe the movement of the spirit is moving (all of) us in this direction. I trust that. I think he's the right person for the right time."

Former Berkeley track star Catrina Morrison is about to embark on a great adventure.
In town for the summer, Morrison has been conducting cheerleading camps with some former collegiate cheerleaders. On July 28-30, she filled the Berkeley Middle School auditorim with 68 of her former Stags cheerleaders for a three-day cheer camp.
Working with Berkeley brought back so many memories especially since I was in those girls shoes a few years ago, Morrison said.
While at Berkeley, in addition to being a cheerleader, Morrison and her younger sister LeAnna were the queens of South Carolinas track kingdom, winning multiple team relay and individual championships during their time at Berkeley High School.
While LeAnna went off to run at UNC Charlotte, and now plays basketball, in addition to running track in 2015 at South Carolina, Catrina chose a different route.
She followed her cheerleading dream.
Catrina roamed the football sidelines at Clemsons Death Valley for the past four seasons as a Tiger cheerleader.
I love cheering and loved cheering for Clemson, she said.
In May, Morrisons career at Clemson concluded with a degree as she hung up her orange and purple cheerleading uniform for the final time.
Graduation did not sound the end of Morrisons cheerleading career. Instead, this was just the beginning of her next great adventure.
While waiting to begin work on her masters degree, Morrison spent the summer pursuing her two favorite pastimes by conducting cheerleading camps throughout the Southeast.
This summer I traveled to Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina to teach about 12-to-15 different camps. Its such a fun job because I get to do my two most favorite things in the world, cheering and traveling.
Morrison is a Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) instructor. More than 1,500 instructors make up the UCA staff and they are chosen based on skills, personality and their ability to teach.
Instructors travel all over the Southeast to teach cheer camps to high school students, she said. Im very passionate about cheering and also helping other girls to become just as great as I was with cheering in high school and college.
Locally, Morrison is a cheer coach at the new Elite Sports athletic facility in Moncks Corner. She said coaching would be something shed be able to do while she completes her masters degree in Social Work or Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
She is excited about where the road might lead.
Its just the beginning of an exciting life for me, she said. My plans are to work with children that either have behavioral problems such as conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder or to work with children who experienced some type of maltreatment whether its sexual, emotional, physical, or psychological.

We all remember the ghosts of Valentine's Days past. They come in the forms of sugar rushes, hyper headaches and those tiny themed valentines and the hours spent tediously labeling and taping each one. Ah, those were the days, when a whole day of school was dedicated to eating candy and reading paper valentines.
While reminiscing about previous Valentine's Days is fun, it's time better spent on thinking of how we spend Valentine's Day now. It's hard to miss the evolution of Valentine's Day, along with the magnification of everything else at the high school level. Coming from a middle school that had very little to offer in the Valentine's Day department, I am very satisfied with the Valentine's Day routine at Williamsville South High School.
I truly wasn't expecting much as I trucked into school last Feb. 14 as a freshman. I knew about the hush hearts, our unique tradition where each girl is presented with a paper heart necklace at the start of the day. If she says one word to a guy throughout the day, she is forced to hand over her heart necklace, which guys aim to collect (these roles are switched on St. Patrick's Day, when girls compete for guys' shamrock necklaces). So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled into a plush pink cafeteria glamorously decorated with hearts and glitter, with strawberry milkshakes floating around on trays and corny holiday games in every corner. Carnations were also being delivered left and right, white from friends, red from girlfriends or boyfriends, and pink from secret admirers. The entire day was overwhelmingly jovial, to say the least.
Shannon Murphy, sophomore and current Pep Club president at Williamsville South, admits that it's not easy to put together.
"I feel like it's definitely worth it," she said on the subject of the endless hours she puts into organizing the carnation sales. "We go through all this hard work to order the flowers and make the tags, but it makes everyone happy."
Sabrina Giordano, a freshman at Grand Island High School, explains that they do something a little different.
"We do this thing where the people give whoever they want a 'crush' can, like the pop Crush," she explained. "And the can is crushed up, symbolizing they have a crush on you."
No matter what the tradition, Valentine's Day is undoubtedly a day we all look forward to. This quasi-holiday has made its way to becoming one of the more materialistic holidays in the U.S. We cherish Valentine's Day as a day that gets us through winter months in one piece, so that we emerge into spring with a little less darkness; if anything we can appreciate it for its timing. Buried behind boxes of candy and Hallmark cards, though, lies the true heart of the matter; sometimes all we need is a little love.
So despite the number of valentines we receive each year steadily decreasing in number, it seems that high school has allowed us to grow to appreciate Valentine's Day, along with many other things, in a newfound light.
Shannon agrees: "It's not the same as it was when we were younger, but I feel like it's something everyone looks forward to."
Rachel Whalen is a sophomore at Williamsville South High School.

NEW YORK � Louise Erdrich is more than this year�s winner of the National Book Award for fiction. She�s a bookstore owner and has some ideas for what customers might pick up as holiday gifts.
The four other finalists: This Is How You Lose Her, by Junot Diaz; A Hologram for the King, by Dave Eggers; The Yellow Birds, by Kevin Powers; and Billy Lynn�s Long Halftime Walk, by Ben Fountain.
�This was a tough crowd!� Erdrich, who runs Birchbark Books in Minneapolis, wrote in a recent email about her competition.
Erdrich didn�t mention her own novel, The Round House, but another author-bookseller took care of that. Ann Patchett, who founded Parnassus Books in Nashville, says she has been recommending Erdrich�s story of a boy seeking his mother�s rapist well before the award was announced in mid-November.
�I read the book really early on, and I�ve thought about it every single day since,� Patchett said. �It�s dark, funny, complex and very, very moving.�
Patchett had several other suggestions, from Jon Meacham�s biography Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, a pick she thinks ideal for men; to Maile Maloy�s The Apothecary for middle schoolers. She also loved J.K. Rowling�s first grownup novel, The Casual Vacancy, a feeling she made clear in October when she interviewed the �Harry Potter� author on stage at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.
Erdrich also cited the illustrated edition of Edmund de Waal�s The Hare With Amber Eyes, writing �it feels lustrous in hand, orderly, pleasing. This is what a book should be.�
Gayle Shanks, owner of the Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe, Ariz., likes the novel Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter; Deb Perlman�s Smitten Kitchen cookbook; and Marcus Samuelsson�s memoir Yes, Chef.
Barnes & Noble is suggesting works of humor (The Onion Book of Known Knowledge), music (An illustrated Rolling Stones biography to mark the band�s 50th anniversary) and history (Reporting the Revolutionary War).
Sarah McNally, owner of McNally Jackson Books in Manhattan, likes Alice Munro�s story collection Dear Life; Alan Ryan�s two-volume history On Politics and Louise Glueck�s Poems 1962-2012. Kate Milford, a children�s author and McNally Jackson employee, suggests the picture book Cecil, the Pet Glacier, by Matthea Harvey; the middle school novel Twelve Kinds of Ice, by Ellen Bryan Obed and illustrator Barbara McClintock.
�This is going to be one of those things adults buy for a kid and end up keeping themselves or giving to other adults, too,� Milford says of the Obed book. �It�s beautifully illustrated, beautifully written, and just feels like a classic gift book.�

David Gilmore, "Numerology: Live at Jazz Standard" (Evolutionary Music). The last disc under guitarist Gilmore's own name came out six years ago. This one makes only three total that he's released despite a sizable career that has seen him work with the cream of jazz musicians (Wayne Shorter, for one.) This recording of his suite "Numerology" has a truly extraordinary all-star band to plays his music: singer Claudia Acuna providing vocalises, alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon, pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Christian McBride, drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts and percussionist Mino Cinelu. It's a nine-movement work whose stars are saxophonist Zenon and drummer Watts. That there's a touch of mysticism to this doesn't mean there's anything the slightest bit disembodied about the music which is lusty, earthy and polyrhythmically vibrant throughout. It was smart and then some for Gilmore to record this suite in live performance rather than in a studio presentation. The combination of his compositional ambition and the electrcity of music for a live audience makes for a first-rate jazz disc. ∆∆∆½ (Jeff Simon)
Frank Wess and Johnny Coles, "Two at the Top" (Uptown, two discs). The estimable saxophonist and flutist and cum laude Basieite Frank Wess thinks now that "Two at the Top" is one of the best things he ever did. It's from a 1983 date that is now seeing its CD release for the first time. Paired with it is another recording of Wess and the great trumpet player Johnny Coles, "Live at Yoshi's" from 1988. Coles died in 1997 but the enormous appeal of the mainstream 1983 disc with Wess and Coles is the whole group – the great Kenny Barron on piano, Kenny Washington on drums and Reggie Johnson on bass. There's little on these two discs but ultra-professional '80s bebop by two of the most reliable mainstream jazz veterans anywhere. They play Gigi Gryce's classic tune "Minority" and Rodgers Grant's "Morning Star" on both dates. All due respect to Wess, there's nothing on these two discs that stretches into superlatives but it's a meat and potatoes dinner that seems out of its time to be nothing if not comfort food. ∆∆∆ (J.S.)
Mozart, Piano Concertos No. 20 and 21 performed by Jan Lisiecki and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Christian Zacharias (Deutsche Grammophon). Jan Lisiecki, 16, is a piano Wunderkind who has been showered recently with attention. Born in Calgary, he is Polish and looks it, with blond surfer hair and an intelligent smile. He is studying on scholarship at the Glenn Gould School of Piano and recently, he got a deal on Deutsche Grammophon that put him on the fast track. In contrast to all this hoopla, Lisiecki's playing on this disc shows modesty and simplicity. These two Mozart concertos – both masterpieces that no one should die without hearing – calmly play up the perfection of the music. Tempos are conservative, and though there's some improvisation, it's minimum, and unobtrusive. In the D Minor concerto, Lisiecki plays the usual Beethoven cadenzas. In other words, there are no surprises, not that there necessarily should be. Lisiecki's playing is lovely, crisp without being dry. He has the good fortune to be set up with prime orchestras – he recently was featured with the New York Philharmonic – and with the best conductors. Zacharias knows what he is doing, and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra shines, with a strong, chiseled sound. This recording reminds me of many other performances of these concertos that I have loved over the years. ∆∆∆½ (Mary Kunz Goldman)
Dvorak and Suk, Czech Serenades for String Orchestra performed by Appassionata conducted by Daniel Myssek (Fidelio). If the most famous serenade for string orchestra is, unquestionably, Tchaikovsky's intensely lovable tribute to Mozart, these two string orchestra serenades by Czech composers – with the addition of Dvorak's Nocturne for Strings in B-major – represent 19th century Czech music about as charming as it gets. Suk's Serenade for Strings in E-Flat Major Op. 6 was written while he was a pupil of Dvorak's so the music here has strong bloodlines, to put it mildly. And the performances by Daniel Myssek's Canadian chamber orchestra Appassionata are gorgeous. ∆∆∆½ (J.S.)
Bruckner, Symphony No. 7 performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Donald Runnicles (Hyperion). Bruckner's "Te Deum" is almost an exact contemporary of his seventh symphony. By the time that he's written it, he'd endured vituperative critics, romantic failures, religious doubts and all manner of assaults on creativity that might have derailed composers of lesser gifts. It's that very triumph over such a naively uncharmed life that has helped make his symphonies the objects for reverence that they are. It's great music played by one of the most active Wagenerian conductors around, with a superb orchestra from his native Scotland. You'd expect fine performance, if not entirely perfect, and so it is. ∆∆∆ (J.S.)
New Age
William Close and the Earth Harp Collective, "Holidays" (Top Tomato Records). As New Age Christmas records go this one is kind of appealing. Close, of "America's Got Talent" fame, plays an instrument of his own design called an Earth Harp which can produce an impressive range of textures. He jingles and plucks and even drones his way on this disc through 10 Christmas numbers, including a few originals. It doesn't get boring, because almost each song sounds different from the one before, and he is joined by a variety of vocalists. An arrangement of the "Hail Mary" in Latin has a Broadway feeling but it's reverent. It's nice that people are still making arrangements of this ancient prayer. Vocalists Laura Vall, Lisbeth Scott and Nadine Christine Duggin have a modern pop sound without ever veering over into the offensive territory of too many curlicues. Vall's "Silent Night," sung to the Earth Harp of William Close, is mirrored by a Spanish version, "Noche de Paz," which concludes the disc. "Earth Prayer" is a spacy take on the Prayer of St. Francis. ∆∆∆ (M.K.G.)

The first of the 200 Days portrayed in this issue of the Alumni Review is Aug. 13, 2010. But the project itself really began in December 2009 when Steve Wulf '72, P '12, editor-in-chief of ESPN Books and a senior writer and former executive editor for ESPN The Magazine, approached Hamilton with an idea to celebrate the Bicentennial: 200 stories from one academic year in the life of a College that's been around for 200 years.
That turned out to be the easy part. Because Hamilton offers so much both in the classroom and beyond it, we needed to start planning months in advance. And in order to capture the true essence of the Hill, we sought out student writers and photographers as well as alumni mentors.
With Steve assuming the role of guest editor, the task of organizing calendars, identifying contributors, orchestrating photographers and putting the entire issue to bed was handled by College Editor Donald Challenger, who notes, "We could take on such a project only because we have such a strong, responsive community to provide ideas and support." Responsibility for assigning, wrangling and fine-tuning each written profile fell to Project Manager Bambi Bachman Wulf P'12, who kept in constant contact with more than 30 student writers and their mentors throughout the year. Having spent 32 years on the editing side of Sports Illustrated and Time magazines, she was "awed" by the professionalism and talent exhibited by her student charges.
Long before that first moment of the college year — when upperclass students in jester garb gathered along College Hill Road and went hoarse greeting new students arriving for pre-orientation — came the realization that with such a wealth of material, we would be left with far more choices than days. So while we believe this issue is representative of the people, events and values that define Hamilton, we won't claim that it's fully comprehensive. Indeed, we could publish a chronicle like this any other year and come up with 200 totally different stories.
The beauty of this issue owes a great deal to Catherine Brown, the College's director of visual communications, who created the design, and to photographers Nancy L. Ford, Laura C. Laurey and Phil Scalia, who provided so many of the memorable images. Special thanks go to the Office of Communications and Development for its constant support and to the College itself for its warm embrace of the project.
But we reserve our deepest gratitude to the students and the alumni mentors who took time out of their busy lives to suggest, report, write, edit and shoot these stories. The qualities that make Hamilton so unique — the creativity and the vitality, the rigor and the play — are reflected in their extraordinary contributions. A lot of work went into this issue, but it was a lot of fun, too, and we'd gladly do another version.
Just give us a few days.

AMD has delivered its second Fusion processor – combining four CPU cores with powerful HD graphics on the same chip. The new Sabine platform, which the A-Series is part of, kills Intel's Sandy Bridge on graphics performance in midrange laptops. We've tested it, but what's the tech behind it?
The A-Series – previously codenamed as Llano - is what AMD refers to as an APU – an Accelerated Processing Unit. It's a combination of the CPU and GPU, just as Sandy Bridge is, but AMD's graphics experience (gained from its 2006 takeover of ATI) really begins to tell.
The A-Series is a cheaper chip than Intel's higher end Core i lines, designed for low-cost laptops. Quite how much laptops featuring the A-Series will cost remains to be seen - we'll know more on this in the coming days.
There are two variants of the A-Series 32nm die, one with 1.4 billion transistors and the second with 758 million. While the versions already announced are quad-core,
AMD will follow this up with a dual-core variant which it is currently tight-lipped about – some of these will no doubt be rejected quad-core units.
Much of the Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 line will still outperform the A-Series for CPU performance as we saw in our review, but it's in graphics where AMD's new chip hits a home run. In the top A-Series chip, the 3500M, the graphics core is known as the Radeon HD 6620G and has all 400 cores enabled and runs at up to 444MHz. As Jeremy Laird says in our review, "it absolutely destroys Intel's equivalent integrated graphics core, the HD 3000".
"Trust me, this is really discrete-level graphics. This isn't only about gameplay, it's about features," said AMD general manager Rick Bergman at the recent Llano launch event attended by TechRadar.
"By this time next year, 90 per cent of our processors will be APUs."
"The world of graphics changed 10 years ago. It's no longer about GHz," Bergman says. "You have to look deeper. We've dedicated almost half the die to our GPU technologies." The A-Series is fully DirectX 11 graphics compliant, rather than the DirectX 10-capable Sandy Bridge. AMD has already sold more than five million of the original Bobcat Fusion C and E Series CPUs since late 2010. These have been put into netbooks under HD graphics branding.
The A-Series chips offer some serious computing power, with up to 400 gigaflops of compute power in notebooks and up to 500 gigaflops in desktops. And, what's more, the tech will be expanded to lower power devices in due course. "Fanless APUs are on the horizon," predicts Bergman. "We can actually expand this to tablets… later in the year. Devices with an entirely different level of capabilities"
Another boon of the A-Series is battery life. AMD cites up to 10.5 hours are possible, though we got around 6.5 hours on our whitebook test machine running 720p video for that period.
"We're delivering Fusion supercomputing power in a notebook that lasts all day," continued Bergman. "There [has been] scepticism. AMD [has previously] struggled with battery life. Two years later, we're delivering on that promise."
"We actually have two links into our GPU into the Northbridge. GPU performance scales with memory bandwidth, so we have this direct path through the Northbridge to the DDR, this gives the GPU priority access to access the system memory with high bandwidth – the Radeon Memory Bus."
The new platform also supports HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.1 and USB 3.0 to drive multiple displays and devices. AMD has also done a lot of power saving work including its Turbo Core Technology, which dynamically optimises or boosts CPU and GPU performance depending on the applications being run. AMD claims up to 10 per cent faster than Intel for USB 3.0 transfers.
Llano utilises AMD's Stars core design. Llano has up to four Stars cores, the Radeon graphics cores, 1MB of independent L2 cache per core, plus an integrated Northbridge, Unified Video Decoder ("this is the block that helps us do multimedia playback at very good power levels"), dual-channel DDR3 support, 24 PCI Express (Gen2) lanes and dedicated digital display interfaces (there's support for HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI). It all represents around "12-14 months of engineering effort" according to Bergman.
Fusion Compute Links enable the GPU to access coherent cache and memory. "It's the same I/O path that other devices use, but as it's internal we can plumb it better. Our APIs like Open CL can better share memory with the CPU."
AMD has also introduced a feature called Steady Video with the A-Series that's designed to stabilise videos during playback – making unsteady content look steadier.
John Taylor, Director of Product Marketing, told us that the lower end A4 parts will start at a sub-$300 price point. Taylor says that the sweet spot for the platform is in pitching the A6 chip against Intel's Core i3. "That's four cores versus two and we've got better battery life."
"Intel has flirted with [promoting on] 'ditch the discrete'. We will be marketing on full DirectX 11 support with the 320 Radeon cores from the A6."
"We light those pixels up better and more beautifully than anyone else in the industry."
AMD says the new APUs will appear in over 150 laptops and destops during the coming months and you'll see the A4, A6 and A8 processors appear under the AMD Vision branding. We're trying to get hold of a desktop setup at the moment and will review that as soon as we can.

Human nature is simple. All we need is life is food, sleep, a roof over our head and people to love us. That gets complicated at times. You can absolutely be a simple girl with simple pleasures who sometimes gets wound up in the more difficult things in life!
So glad I finally got to meet you Friday! Let's plan something again soon!

No one person is simple no matter how much they kid themselves. There's just a difference between being needy, whiny, complaining and never fully satisfied 24/7 and then having a moment like that here and there. COMPLETE DIFFERENCE - and that is what defines the "simple girls" from the "dramatic girls."
Loved reading this and I love your blog no matter what your title is :D

Nearly 200 new teachers expected
May 7, 2013
MARTINSBURG — As part of Monday night's agenda, Berkeley County Board of Education members reviewed 31 typed pages of personnel action for the upcoming school year — and that's only the beginning......
The do part is where you feed children in school so they are able to learn instead of being hungry. It certainly isn't not doing anything but it is by investing in their future and giving them a good begining. You seem like a very negative person. What do you do to make the county a better place? Your remarks are so negative!

How can we expect....

My heart and my mind both work at the same time and the constitution doesn't have to include this for me to know how to treat others especially when it comes to vulnerable populations! It also doesn't take much intelligence to know that when children have a healthy start they have a better chance at becoming successful adults. Putting dollars, or lending a hand to help children only can help decrease the dollars that go into jails or state subsidized programs for adults. Of course this takes a long time for the community to reap the benefits but starting with the young is a worthwhile investment. I understand that you disagree and that I focused on serving others and making our community a better place for all. Best regards!

I was a kid whose parents were unavailable and a wreak and needed help from the community. Now I have a college education, a great job and help others because I want to not because someone makes me. Let all children have a chance to make it not just the ones who are fortunate to have a loving happy home with parental support.

food thrown away at schools? No more than any restaraunt in the country. Honestly, I don't understand these post. Whats the other choice - not hire the teachers? LOL, then same people would complain of overcrowding. It isn't schools job to raise kids - I would agree. Unfortunately, we can't change their home life and what the school does either way won't affect that. Also, on the drop out rate - you would be surprised, dramatically surprised what early intervention can do. Other states have done it for years. If you don't believe me, you are wrong. My wife taught it in S. Carolina for 10 years. It wasn't opened to anyone there though but based on academic need. Early intervention strategy. It did very well and in longitudinal studies, when cross correlated made significant strides. Most people complaining on here never want schools to do well and that is your freedom to speak out. But, some are simply irrational and plain wrong.

4 year old programs have been in effect for years in other states and open to more students. It's all about early intervention. It can actually save money down the road. Free lunch? Great idea if they can afford it. This is the only meal for many of our students - believe it or not.

The reason these changes are happening is to help all children have a healthy start which directly helps our community be stronger. Investing in children is a way to invest in everyone's future.

have you ever seen ALL THE FOOD thrown away @ our schools ? it is unbelieveable and now we are going to give everyone free lunches. So much waste in the " system" not only in " lunches " but also in salaries. Before any request for more money,lets get the OUT OF STATE TAGS away from our buildings. THINK ABOUT IT

I'm hopeful that the new food service bill will go a long way to improve the school food program. I am willing to pay more in taxes to have such a service in place. Shame on Delegate Michael Folk, R-Berkeley for his uniformed comments against the bill.

While I can appreciate the concern over increased spending, the 4 yr old program and free lunches will have a dramatic impact on students. As a parent of two children who have attende the 4 yr old school program in Jefferson County, this early, structured education helps children realize that learning is fun. In addition to preparing children to succeed academically, it also allows issues such as learning disabilities to be identified earlier. THe sooner issues are found, the sooner the student can receive the assistance needed to overcome them.
The free lunch program will also improve education in the county, although it may take a few years to see the benefit. Proper nutrition has long been linked to performance in school. While some families may have enough food, if they make poor nutritional choices, it can negatively impact a child's performance in school.
While each of these programs comes with a cost, the investment in our children is worth it.

"...Tomblin will sign the food service bill into law, which provides free lunches for all state students..."
Nothing free about this bill. We all pay for it and it is not necessary. Free lunches for poor kids? Sure but free for everyone? Stupid "feel good" measure. Will food stamps for all be next?
8 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
So let me get this straight. The Head Start program started years ago for "low income" families who couldn't afford regular day care and to allow these children the same opportunity that "working parents" were providing to there children. Now it is going to be required. Maybe the focus should be on lowering the drop out rate. If we spent as much energy on keeping these kids in school at the middle and high school levels maybe the drop out rate wouldn't be so high, and I don't think going to school at age 4 affects these statistics.

4-year-old program? SMH...I'm speechless. Such a horrible idea!

Don't forget the "free" lunch for everyone as not to make certain children feel bad. More tax and spend!

The system can't handle the children we already have in school & now they want 4 yr olds in school. I don't think 4 yr old children need to be in school all day. All that will be is a babysitter as Major stated. Kids grow up fast enough let's not push them any faster.

The Bürgenstock Resort nestles in the heart of Central Switzerland atop a spectacular mountain ridge offering incomparable views of Lake Lucerne. The Resort is a landmark that measures 1 km across and occupies 60 hectares.
It is a place boasting a superior sense of vision. It always has. The first establishment to be built on Mt. Bürgenberg was the Grand Hotel back in 1873. It was a special destination for special guests, from Charlie Chaplin to Kofi Annan. Sofia Loren resided at the resort, and Audrey Hepburn was married in the Bürgenstock Chapel.
Mt. Bürgenstock is a great place for walking. Completed in 1905, the rock-face path "Felsenweg" is a traditional, some say mythical, mountain trail that leads to the towering 152.8 metre-tall Hammetschwand Lift.
Due for completion in 2017, Central Switzerland is witnessing the emergence of a premier resort – the Bürgenstock Resort. Therefore the Bürgenstock Bahn is closed.

James Franklin is going to genuinely love the next 3 months until fall camp begins, not just endure them the way Bill O'Brien did.
That represents perhaps the single biggest difference between Penn State's current football coach and its previous one, which also makes it the biggest reason to believe Franklin will stick around much longer than O'Brien did.
With spring ball over, it's now glad-handing time for Franklin. Time to get on the Coaches Caravan bus to meet fans across the region, to speak at all sorts of functions, and to talk to donors and alums to trump up support for the PSU program in ways that have everything to do with personality and charisma and nothing to do with Xs and Os or football strategy.
Article Photos
James' Franklin's May 20 Penn State Coaches Caravan date at Penn College has sold out.
Franklin, as much of a people person as you'll meet in sports, can't wait to do all of that. The guy's PR skills are just off the charts.
O'Brien did all of it, too, especially his first year on the job at PSU in 2012. He went to 18 Coaches Caravan stops and spoke to thousands of people, always representing himself and Penn State extremely well but never appearing to fully embrace or enjoy all of that stuff.
O'Brien, as we all came to find out, just wants to coach football. Now that's all he has to do in the NFL.
It might not be the case, but from what we've seen so far, Franklin seems to enjoy all of the extraneous stuff even more than coaching football.
He's a natural salesman. Maybe that comes with negative connotations, but it shouldn't always.
Franklin seems to be the real deal. If he truly is or if some of it is just an act, well, only time will tell.
For now, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He does appear to genuinely enjoy meeting people and developing personal relationships.
Let's get one thing clear: Penn State football wouldn't be in the strong position it is today if not for O'Brien. Just because he left after a short tenure and upset some people with comments he made on his way out the door, it doesn't change the fact that he kept the roof on the building during the worst tornado any college football program has ever weathered.
But it's also very possible that O'Brien had taken Penn State as far as he could in his two years.
A college coach nowadays has to have a lot of salesman in him, and O'Brien can't equal that or the enthusiasm Franklin brings.
O'Brien is a straight shooter who doesn't embellish, doesn't make grand promises and doesn't make half-man, half-lion Photoshop images and post them to his Twitter account (Yeah, Franklin did that last week, and while it looked kind of creepy, you have to think 17-year-old recruits find that stuff cool).
A buddy asked me Monday if I think Franklin is an upgrade over O'Brien. My answer: It's too early to tell.
Franklin has never coached a game for Penn State, and until he does, the jury will be out in many ways.
But in a few short months on the job, Franklin already has assembled the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. That is, in every way, absolutely incredible.
Penn State still can't go to a bowl game, it still has only 75 scholarships this year, it has a new coach and a fourth new coach in four years, it only went 7-5 last season, and the school still faces image issues in other parts of the country. Clearly, there are reasons for players not to pick the Lions.
And yet, remarkably, Franklin is attracting highly touted recruits at numerous positions. If that keeps up for a couple of years, the talent we'll be seeing at Beaver Stadium will be very fun to watch.
If Franklin turns out to be as good of a football coach as he is at the personality and salesman stuff, then Nittany Lion fans could see a return to national prominence in a short period of time.
It won't happen this year, since the current team has a number of major question marks and serious depth concerns.
But no matter what happens this season, as long as Franklin remains as committed to Penn State as he is now and doesn't start seeing greener grass in the NFL or another college program, there's no reason to believe he won't be very successful.
