College-owned housing is closed during winter break. Students must vacate College-owned residence halls and houses according to the date and time scheduled by the College, unless sponsored for Winter Break Student Status (WBSS). WBSS means students have received approval to remain on campus after closing and/or return prior to opening of College-owned residence halls and houses during Winter Break due to one or more of the following reasons: participation in winter athletics or other College sponsored activities/events; International or U.S. Global Nomad Student; working for College Services* a minimum of 20 hours per week; or approved by the Division of student Affairs. No other students will be allowed in College-owned housing during Winter Break. *College services are those services necessary for the day to day operation of the College during Winter Break. These services include but are not limited to Campus Security, Mail Services, Catering, Library, and Admission. WBSS is a privilege, not a right. Only sponsored/approved students will be allowed in College-owned residence halls and houses during Winter Break. Students who have received WBSS automatically agree to accept and comply with College rules and regulations. Students are expected to act responsibly so their ability to stay in College-owned housing during Winter Break is not jeopardized. In the rare case a student violates the Winter Break Policy or does not act responsibly during this time, the student may be required to leave campus until the semester begins. Fines may also be issued, and/or judicial charges may be pursued. Departments whose sponsored students violate this policy may lose the privilege of sponsoring early arrival students. Winter Break is substance-free. All students with WBSS implicitly agree not to use or distribute alcohol or drugs on campus during this time, regardless of age. STUDENTS GRANTED WBSS AGREE TO:
- Abide by the Winter Break Substance-Free Policy.
- Keep public spaces clean and orderly throughout the break period.
- Not allow unauthorized students into College housing.
- Keep outside doors to all College-owned residence halls and houses closed and locked (not propped open).
RLC / EMERGENCY CONTACT:If you have an emergency or need assistance, please call ext. 4600 (or 641-269-4600 if calling from off-campus) to reach Campus Security / the RLC on call.
- One RLC is on-call while the College is operation during break.
- Campus Security will provide on-call assistance the week College offices are closed.
MEAL PREPARATION: Students with WBSS may cook in the residence hall / College-owned house kitchens. Students who use hall/house kitchens agree to clean the kitchen immediately. Any items left out and/or dirty will be disposed of daily. All appliances must be turned off and unplugged after each use. SERVICES: Shuttles, dining services, and health services are NOT available during Winter Break. GUESTS: Students with WBSS may have guests visit them in the residence halls under the following conditions:
- Guests cannot be currently enrolled Grinnell College students.
- The number of guests is limited to two guests on campus at one time.
- Students must register their guest(s) at the Security Office upon arrival to campus and check them out when permanently leaving campus.
- Students are responsible for the behavior of their guests.
Grinnell College students approved to remain on campus during all or part of Winter Break understand staying on campus during Winter Break is a privilege, not a right. Students who do not abide by the Winter Break Policy outlined above, may (at a minimum) be required to leave campus until the semester begins. Revision Date: 11-16-10

NAMI Survey Examines Expanded Role of Pharmacists in Mental Health Care
By Bob Carolla, NAMI Director of Media Relations
Do you talk with your pharmacist?
That is to way, other than about the weather or how Tim Tebow should get more (or less) playing time.
At the cash register in a retail pharmacy, a technician may ask customers whether they need to talk with the pharmacist about their prescriptions. Most people say no, but they may be missing out on an important opportunity.
According to a survey conducted by NAMI in conjunction with the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists Foundation (CPNPF), approximately 75 percent of individuals living with mental illness and their caregivers seldom or never receive safety or effectiveness monitoring assistance from community pharmacists. NAMI and CPNPF want to improve the opportunity for individuals and caregivers to take advantage of the pharmacist's knowledge and expertise.
Pharmacists are an essential piece of the treatment and recovery process. They received exceptionally high marks in the survey for their professionalism and trust.
More than 90 percent of survey participants are very comfortable going to community pharmacies and 83 percent feel respected by their pharmacist. Many, however, would like to have a stronger relationship with their pharmacist.
The survey report is titled Characterizing the Relationship between Individuals with Mental Conditions and Community Pharmacists.
The greatest obstacle to consultation with pharmacists, cited by 58 percent of respondents is the lack of private space in retail pharmacies to discuss medication issues, such as effectiveness, side effects and drug interactions. The result is that some people don't see pharmacists as interested in their care.
"The survey suggests areas for action to strengthen to role of community pharmacists as part of treatment teams for mental health problems as well as other medical conditions," said NAMI Executive Director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "Pharmacists can serve as a first line of defense in identifying medication issues to be discussed with a person's doctor—before any concern turns into an adverse event."
In other words, it's easier—and free—to talk with your pharmacist rather than making an extra appointment with your doctor to raise a medication concern, or worse, not discussing a concern with anyone who has professional expertise.
CPNPF President Charles F. Caley called the survey "groundbreaking" in its identification of "important opportunities to expand the commitment of the pharmacy community to greater numbers of individuals living with mental illness."
Nationally, over 118,000 pharmacists work in community settings representing 43 percent of the profession overall, playing an important role in mental health care. There are approximately 2,000 "psychiatric pharmacists" in the United States who specialize in mental health medications, but not enough to directly support the number of individuals being treated with mental health medications.

Simon Xiao, Software Developer Engineer in Test II, introduces the Exchange Protocol Test Suite Architecture. The talk also includes a demo presented by Xianming Xu (Chinasoft), Test Suite Developer. This talk was part of the January 2011 Exchange RPC Protocol Documentation Plugfest and is related to the Exchange Server Open Specifications Program, which includes documents that are available on MSDN.
Oops, something didn't work.
Sorry but he is in-comprehensible. This would have been an awesome presentation with an native english speaker.
This is for Simon ( and the rest of the team in china.)
Before presentations:
Understand who your audience are. Prepare 10 times before the real presentation.
During presentations;
Assume that listener is naive, explain without using acronyms, remain focussed on the overall objective of the presentation.
Keep the listeners engaged ; you can do this by varying your tone while speaking, that makes it non monotonous. Interact with them. Be confident.
Practice English speaking.
It was a decent attempt ! 4/10.
I was at the talk, and while it was a bit difficult to follow, it was OK live. I don't think this version is as easy to follow as the live version.
There was a follow-on talk (in the Windows part of the interop event) presented by Nick Meier that covers some of the same material. That may be a useful adjunct.
That said, none of this is a substitute for being hands-on and working on the real test suites and having the test suite developers (i.e. the whole team) in your office working on the issues. That was a great experience!

I didn't say that. Cleary sucks a$$. That being said, why can't Nyquist beat him out? Or eaves or Emmerton, or...... that is the point. Read what is written and stop ass-u-me-ing. I don't think Nyquist will ever be better than a 40 point guy in the NHL. That is my opinion. But I have also said several times, the only way to find out is for him to play in the NHL. Play him. Then he makes it or breaks it.
I think the idea isn't that Nyquist couldn't beat out those guys, rather that he is waiver exempt. Eaves or Cleary would have to be waived.
Having Nyquist as the swing man who can come up or be sent down as the team needs on a game-by-game basis is ultimately what this is all about. It gives the team depth. Or, at least it's supposed to.
Plus you have to consider roles. For example , Nyquist > Andersson and will be a more important player in the long run, but Andersson fits a niche right now, adding size to line 3.

Does Shareholder Proxy Access Improve Firm Value? Evidence from the Business Roundtable Challenge

January 19, 2012
Harvard Business School Finance Working Paper No. 11-052
Harvard Business School NOM Unit Working Paper No. 11-052
Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 685
We use the Business Roundtable's challenge to the SEC's 2010 proxy access rule as a natural experiment to measure the value of shareholder proxy access. We find that firms that would have been most vulnerable to proxy access, as measured by institutional ownership and activist institutional ownership in particular, lost value on October 4, 2010, when the SEC unexpectedly announced that it would delay implementation of the Rule in response to the Business Roundtable challenge. We also examine intra-day returns and find that the value loss occurred just after the SEC's announcement on October 4. We find similar results on July 22, 2011, when the D.C. Circuit ruled in favor of the Business Roundtable. These findings are consistent with the view that financial markets placed a positive value on shareholder access, as implemented in the SEC's 2010 Rule.

XGames.com: Billie Joe says in the film that Green Day is "like an old race car: You gotta keep it tuned up or it's just gonna sit there and rust." Talk about that: How long is a lot of time off for a band like Green Day?
Mike Dirnt: A couple weeks to a month. This hiatus we've had now has been the longest we've had as a band. I think it's a good thing at this point; we don't know what else to do with ourselves.
Green Day invited their audience into the studio for the first time in more than two decades. What was that like?
At first it was a little unnerving, and then you leave the cameras there long enough, in place, and you really don't think about it anymore. A lot of the cameras, we would set up still, and a good friend of ours filmed a good chunk of it. He's a really good fly on the wall. So after a while you don't think about it. But at first you're like, "You know, this is really weird." [Laughs.]
What were the early Gilman Street-era recording sessions like?
Really exciting. You go in and you're like, "What's that piece of equipment do?" "What's that piece of equipment do?"
It was just such an exciting time. You are learning so much every time you go in. We're still picking our brains about stuff, but now we have an idea of what recording is and how we like to approach things.
Back then, everything was so new; it was super exciting. And it was also [like] you gotta get it right the first time, because you don't have a budget.
How has the band's process of writing songs changed?
It's definitely changed in the sense of how we all appreciate one another for writing songs. Nowadays instead of jumping all over somebody's idea the second you hear it, we listen a little better than we used to. And we try to let everyone formulate their ideas rather than attacking quite as much. But we have kind of gone back to a kneejerk way of writing too: Whatever feels right, go with it and make sense of it later.
Do you listen to music while writing music?
A little bit. During that process you're writing so much and you're trying to get into each song and find these nuances for each song, so yeah, but when you're spending the whole day in the studio, you only can spend so much [time listening to someone else's music] before you go in.
My thing is, I'll get up in the morning and I'll grab my coffee and I'll put on a record. That will be the thing I listen to that day that inspires me.
What were you listening to for the last recording sessions?
A lot of early Kinks stuff. And my wife would go out and buy Yellowbirds records or Bob Dylan with The Band. Just random old rock-and-roll records and then obscure punk records I've never heard of before, and I'd [say to myself], "Wow, that's really cool," or "Wow, that's awful."

Tucson I never really thought much about vacationing in Arizona, other than the Grand Canyon, until a Facebook contest last year. After all, my bucket list was already full.
Tucson trip costs
$544: Roundtrip airfare to Tucson on Delta (via Atlanta), plus fees for one bag.$251: Two nights at Hotel Congress, downtown Tucson.$330: Two nights at Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort (marathon discount).$180: One night at Casa Tierra Adobe Bed & Breakfast.$95: Registration for the Holualoa Tucson Marathon.$18: Entry fee to Biosphere 2.$12: Entry fee to Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.$10: Pass to Saguaro National Park.
But Tucson, the city that got a black eye with the 2011 shooting of then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was beating out Charleston in Outside magazines Best Town Ever contest.
I was curious why and started reading endearing comments made by residents and other fans about the array of fun outdoor stuff to do there. It sounded like my kind of city: a desert version of Charleston or Arizonas version of Austin.
The contest piqued my curiosity and, like many running geeks, I looked up Tucsons annual marathon as a potential destination race, a runners excuse to visit a place and hang out a while, much like next weekends Charleston Marathon.
Running a marathon in a sun-drenched desert in December in Arizonas centennial celebration of statehood sounded like a mini-adventure, so I booked my trip last spring and sketched out a loose itinerary.
Funky downtown
My four-day blitz of Tucson started downtown with a stay at the historic Hotel Congress, built in 1919 to serve passengers of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the heyday of train travel.
Congress is a gem of a hotel, in part, because the owners and management have resisted modernizing too much. Rooms have cast-iron frame beds, rotary phones and no TVs.
Integral parts of the Hotel Congress are the Cup Cafe restaurant, Club Congress nightclub featuring live music, Cooper Hall reception venue and even a place to get a decent haircut, the Hive Hair Studio. All combine old-fashioned with a twist of funk.
The Hotel Congress even had a brush with history. In the winter of 1934, John Dillinger and his gang traveled to Tucson to lay low after a string of bank robberies back East. A fire broke out on the third floor, and after gang members asked firefighters to retrieve bags, filled with money and guns, the firefighters alerted local police and captured the gang.
My luck found me in down- town Tucson during its win- tertime Fourth Street Fair, which gave me an opportunity to blend in with the citys mix of Latinos, tattooed youths, leathery hippies and snowbirds, and listen to several local music performances, including the Ballet Folklorico Xochitl de Tucson.
The hotels location also made it convenient for a pre-checkout morning stroll along the Presidio Trail, a marked urban trail highlighting historic and cultural buildings and sites in Tucson, known as the Old Pueblo. The Presidio, a fort that was destroyed in 1856, has been re-created and offers reminders that the East Coast has no corner on history.
To the mountaintop
After the tour, with the marathon facing me the next day, I needed to find a way to stay off my feet yet still immerse myself in southern Arizona.
And while Ive never been into taking a drive, thats exactly what I did, straight into the Santa Catalina Mountains, through four ecosystems and past the southernmost snow skiing destination in the United States to the summit of the 9,157-foot Mount Lemmon.
The General Hitchcock Highway, also known as the Sky Island Scenic Byway, is an outdoor lovers treasure chest with ample parking areas, trails, campsites and picnic areas.
Between the Mount Lemmon Ski Valley and the peak is the tiny mountain resort town of Summerhaven, an ideal place to stop to eat and use the restroom. The town amazingly still bears the scars of an aspen wildfire that torched two-thirds of its homes, more than 300, and nearly 85,000 acres in June 2003.
A short drive from Summerhaven is the peak of Mount Lemmon, which is home to the University of Arizonas Steward Observatory, accessible only via reservation. The sunset drive back down was nice, to boot.
The marathon
Before the sun would rise again, Id be huddled with a bunch of runners in a bus headed to the starting line of the marathon. Primarily for convenience sake, I decided to stay at the marathon host hotel, the Hilton El Conquistador in Oro Valley, north of Tucson.
The hotel offered, in my opinion, a fair rate of $165 (taxes and fees included) for the predictable comforts of a Hilton. Trust me, you dont want to be uncomfortable before or after a marathon.
For runners, the Holualoa Tucson Marathon is medium-size (1,053 finishers, not including half-marathoners) and a fast course with substantial portions before the critical final 10K being slight downhills. That said, those who got a little too aggressive and ran it too fast paid the price, especially with the slight uphill portions and growing headwinds in the final miles.
The event also features a half-marathon and marathon relays.
An unexpected benefit of staying at El Conquistador was the informal reunion of runners poolside all afternoon, soaking up both sunshine and the comforts of the pool, hot tub and cold spa.
It offered a chance for runners to chat and compare experiences at Tucson and other races.
Nature: Inside & out
My final full day started with a short trip north to Biosphere 2, now operated by the University of Arizona for Earth science research: energy, water use and agriculture.
As many will recall, Biosphere started as an experiment by eight researchers who basically locked themselves inside the high-tech mega-terrarium in 1990.
As the planet continues to strain under the pressure of man, Biosphere 2 is doing work to find better ways to live in harmony with the Earth while preserving a modern lifestyle and conveniences.
After a tour, I headed southwest for my final stop in this four-day blitz of Tucson: namely, Saguaro National Park. On my way, I had my best meal of the trip, a lunch at El Charro restaurant, a Tucson institution since 1922.
Sundown on Sonora
Tucson is bookended by a national park. Saguaro has east and west districts. I chose the latter because of its large stands of saguaro cactus and its proximity to Pima Countys Tucson Mountain Park, which turned out to be impressive in and of itself as I entered it through Gates Pass.
Because I was running out of time, I booked a room at a bed-and-breakfast inn, Casa Tierra Adobe, that was a half-mile from Saguaro and, frankly, was a bit of a challenge to find. Let me just say Im glad I didnt follow my instincts to exchange my Toyota RAV4 rental (an SUV I didnt ask for) for an economy car.
I checked in, chatted with owner Dave Malmquist and, at his recommendation, dashed off for a quick sunset hike to Signal Hill, to see some petroglyphs, or rock art, created by the prehistoric Hohokam people.
As the deep dark of night came over the desert, I capped the day with a beer and meal at Los Nopales in nearby Tucson Estates and then worked my way back to Casa Tierra, managing to get lost only three times before finding the inn for an eerily quiet night.
While not much was happening at Casa Tierra that evening, it was nice to pop out into the middle of the cold desert with a piping hot cup of coffee to watch the sun rise and start my day.
Impressed with the mountain park, I headed back for a hike that proved too much for marathon-sore quads and calves. Humbled, I opted for Plan B, going to the Arizona- Sonora Desert Museum, which is basically a native species zoo filled with mostly unreleasable animals.
My timing, once again, was lucky for the museums phenomenal raptor flying demonstration, featuring owls, hawks and falcons that call the Sonora home.
The Holualoa Tucson Marathon is medium-size (1,053 finishers, not including half-marathoners) and is considered a fast course.×
Staying in a bed-and-breakfast, Casa Tierra Adobe, a half mile from the Saguaro National Park offered an opportunity to slip out of bed to watch the sun rise on the Sonora Desert while sipping fresh-brewed black coffee.×
The historic Hotel Congress, established in 1919, is known to be on the lively, noisy side of hotels because of the proximity of the Cup Cafe restaurant and the Club Congress. The hotels brush with history came in the winter of 1934, when John Dillinger and his gang stayed there after a string of bank robberies in the East.×
El Tiradito, which is Spanish for The Castaway, is a shrine dedicated to a murdered sinner in the early 1870s and located in Barrio Viejo. Tiradito, aka the wishing shrine, is on the National Register of Historic Places.×

Q. I want to sign up for a streaming-video service, but there are too many to choose from. Is Netflix better than Hulu Plus or Amazon Prime?
A. Honestly, I don't think any of the big name streaming services is flat-out "better" than one of the others. All three offer hours upon hours of videos to watch at high quality. They're all priced about the same to start, too. Amazon ends up being $1 cheaper a month, but you have to pay annually. I'd see which service offers your favorite shows and movies. The site Can I Stream It? can help you find out. Sign up for the service that has what you want to watch. Keep in mind that a show that's exclusive to one service now may be on every service in a few months.
Q. One of the pixels on my monitor is stuck on red color, and it's distracting me. How do I fix it?
A. The easiest way is by quickly flashing red, blue and green images on the screen. You can find videos that do this on YouTube or on a site called Flexcode. If you have epilepsy or are prone to seizures, I'd ask someone else to do this for you. If that doesn't work, you can try firmly pressing on the pixel with a pen cap or stylus to try to get it working again. You can massage it with a damp microfiber cloth when your monitor is off, too. Keep in mind, though, that this could make the problem worse and void your monitor's warranty.
Q. My friend said I infected her computer with a virus. All I did was copy a few files from my keychain USB drive. Is it possible for a USB drive to carry a virus?
A. It's definitely possible. Anything that can hold files can have a virus. However, a computer with active anti-virus software should have caught the virus as it was transferring. Tell your friend to grab free anti-virus software like avast! or Avira so this doesn't happen again. You can carry an anti-virus program like Clamwin Portable on your drive, too. Run that when you plug into a new computer to stop viruses from infecting your USB drive.
Q. I'm buying a desktop, so I need a webcam to go with it. I've never purchased a webcam before. What should I look for?
A. The most important feature of a webcam is if it fits your office. Make sure the cord reaches your desk or monitor. If the webcam has a clip-on stand, make sure it actually works with your monitor. For great image quality, look for a resolution of 1280x720 (720p HD) and a frame rate of 30 frames per second. More resolution or frame rate is nice, but not necessary. If you don't use video chat often, you can go down to 15 fps or a resolution of 640x480, but I wouldn't go lower. After that, it's all about add-ons. If you want fun video effects and the webcam software you like doesn't offer them, you can get them with ManyCam. As for actual video-chat software, stick with Skype.
Q. I need to email a big PowerPoint presentation to my employees. Will my email service accept it?
A. It depends on your email service. Some email providers offer up to 10 gigabytes of space for attachments, while others are still limited to 20 megabytes. Even if your provider offers a lot of room, I still wouldn't attach it. It is going to fill up your employees' inboxes and take a while to download even if you compress it with a program like 7-zip. Instead, I'd upload the file to a sharing site like WikiSend and send your employees a link. You can even add a password to the download. You can tell your employees the password offline for security. You also could share it on a cloud storage site like Dropbox or Google Drive.

What about the drinking and woman on Manchin's yacht to sway senators to vote for the bill? The second amendment is not to be changed y congress, it is part of the peoples rights under the US Constitution. Guess oit takes sordid business methods to get senators to vote against the Constitution.

Teething usually starts during these months. The two front teeth (central incisors), either upper or lower, usually appear first, followed by the opposite front teeth. The first molars come in next, followed by the canines or eyeteeth.
There is great variability in the timing of teething. If your child doesn't show any teeth until later than this age period, don't worry. The timing may be determined by heredity, and it doesn't mean that anything is wrong.
Teething occasionally may cause mild irritability, crying, a low-grade temperature (but not over 101 degrees Fahrenheit or 38.3 degrees Celsius), excessive drooling, and a desire to chew on something hard. More often, the gums around the new teeth will swell and be tender. To ease your baby's discomfort, try gently rubbing or massaging the gums with one of your fingers. Teething rings are helpful, too, but they should be made of firm rubber. (The teethers that you freeze tend to get too hard and can cause more harm than good.) Pain relievers and medications that you rub on the gums are not necessary or useful since they wash out of the baby's mouth within minutes. Some medication you rub on your child's gums can even be harmful if too much is used and the child swallows an excessive amount. If your child seems particularly miserable or has a fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius), it's probably not because she's teething, and you should consult your pediatrician.

LOCKPORT – John R. Freeman Jr. admitted Wednesday in Niagara County Court that he killed a 5-year-old girl he was baby-sitting last year in a Niagara Falls home.
Freeman, 17, of Sixth Street, Niagara Falls, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence for killing Isabella M. Tennant, of Cheektowaga, and throwing her body into a garbage tote in Niagara Falls on Aug. 26.
Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III agreed to sentence Freeman to a maximum sentence of life in prison, with the minimum of 20 to 22 years before he is eligible for parole. The sentence will be imposed Sept. 5.
"He admitted that he initially said she wouldn't go to sleep. Then he put her in a chokehold, eventually causing her death," Niagara Falls Detective Lt. Michael Trane said at an afternoon news conference.
He commented, "We think it was a very strong case, (Freeman) pled to the indictment." Trane latter added, "I think he should be granted no leniency whatsoever."
Charges remain open against Freeman's co-defendant, Tyler S. Best, 18, of Barnard Street, Buffalo. He was charged with a felony count of tampering with physical evidence after he told Niagara Falls police Aug. 27 that he had helped Freeman dispose of the girl's body.
Trane said the girl's body was found in a garbage tote in an alley between Third and Fourth streets, to which detectives were led by Best, who was called by Freeman after the girl died.
Trane said neither defendant had any criminal record before the murder.
Best's next scheduled court appearance is July 26. His trial is scheduled for Aug. 19.
So was Freeman's, until Wednesday morning.
In a brief court appearance for Freeman, Murphy issued a decision allowing defense attorney Robert Viola to use a mental health defense at Freeman's trial. Prosecutors had objected to that because of Viola's delays in giving them specifics about his claim of "extreme emotional disturbance" for Freeman.
In Murphy's ruling, he wrote that Viola intended to use two mental health experts to testify about how Freeman's fetal alcohol syndrome "caused him to have impaired decision-making abilities, presumably thereby rendering him unable to formulate the intent necessary for the two crimes with which he is charged."
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a permanent brain injury caused by a mother's heavy drinking during pregnancy. According to several health-related websites, it is regarded as the leading cause of preventable birth defects in the United States.
Murphy told the attorneys to return to court 90 minutes later to discuss scheduling. That's when the plea was entered.
Deputy District Attorney Holly E. Sloma said a gag order imposed by Murphy on all attorneys in the case remains in effect, so she was unable to discuss the case. Viola did not return calls seeking comment.
Freeman was a neighbor of the girl's great-grandparents, Sharon and Hank Lascelle, who lived on Sixth Street. They told police they went to bed, leaving the child in the care of Freeman.
The girl's mother, Crystal Walker, had dropped her off on her way to work at a Niagara Falls bar.
"At the time, he was considered a family friend," Trane said. "Everyone involved in this case was just crushed by what happened."
Walker could not be reached Wednesday, but she gave a statement to YNN News saying, "The pain of losing my daughter will never subside. She was my best friend and my everything. I still feel as though I am living someone else's life. I am glad he finally pleaded out instead of dragging this out any longer."

Truckee's Kara LaPoint, author of the Sierra Sun's Endurance Endeavors column, won the women's 25-29 division at the XTERRA USA Championship off-road triathlon this past Saturday at Snowbasin Resort in Ogden, Utah.
LaPoint was the first of eight athletes in the division, recording the second-best swim (32:02), best bike (1:45:46) and the best run (53:52), for a winning time of 3:11:40. She was the 16th woman and was 84th overall.
The national title marks the first of LaPoint's XTERRA career. She captured the West regional championship this year as well.
Several other athletes from the North Lake Tahoe area also brought home national titles.
Genevieve Evans of Carnelian Bay earned a national title in the 35-39 age group with an impressive finish in a time of 3:04:29, which was good enough for ninth place among the 102 women in the race and 57th place overall in a field of 319.
James Rawie from Incline Village also won the Men's 65-69 division, recording the second-best swim (46:51), the best bike (2:29:24) and the best run (1:15:51), for a winning time of 4:32.06. It was Rawie's first national title.
Rob Laurie of Incline Village finished one place behind Evans, in 58th, in a time of 3:05:06. Laurie was second in his 45-49 age group behind Bruce Rogers (3:02:44).
Josiah Middaugh of Colorado and Lesley Paterson from Scotland won the professional divisions, posting times of 2:26:57 and 2:49:09, respectively.
Neilson Powless of Roseville — who at the age of 15 won the XTERRA Lake Tahoe off-road triathlon and the XTERRA Tahoe City triathlon this past summer — was the top amateur and was 12th overall in a time of 2:43:32. Hannah Rae Finchamp was the top female amateur and eighth overall among women in 3:03:59.
Triathletes from 45 states took part in the race.
XTERRA Nationals is the last of 70 races in the XTERRA America Tour. Athletes first have to qualify to compete in the race by finishing among the best in their division, in their region, during the course of the season, which started back in March.

Black's Law Dictionary defines "boilerplate" in part as "standard language in a legal document." In fractional contracts, plenty of provisions appear to be just that, and the response from your salesperson when asked about such provisions is likely to be, "Oh, don't worry. That's just boilerplate."

Uncertainty about aircraft values in the current market poses a major challenge for the companies that finance their purchase. For many new aircraft, the wait for outfitted delivery is as long as five or six years. This backlog puts a lot of pressure on the pre-owned market, where inventories for some models are at all-time lows.

Is it realistic to expect the same quality of culinary fare aboard your business jet that you enjoy at four-star restaurants? That depends on your flight attendant's cooking skills and on whether the aircraft galley is equipped to support them. But even the best airborne chefs can be stymied by the cabin environment in which they have to work.

ImaginAb raised $12.5 million in an oversubscribed Series A round of financing led by Novartis Venture Funds. The firm is exploiting its engineered antibody fragment platform to develop positron emission tomography (PET) diagnostic imaging agents and therapeutic products. It says the funds will be used to speed clinical development of its cancer and immunology imaging programs, which are focused on the staging of metastatic prostate and pancreatic cancer. "This is an important growth financing event for ImaginAb because it augments financial resources from our rapidly expanding pharma companion diagnostic program and strategic National Cancer Institute funding," comments CEO Christian Behrenbruch, Ph.D.
ImaginAb's technology effectively allows antibodies to be re-engineered into smaller fragments with fast kinetics suitable for diagnostic imaging, while maintaining target biospecificity. The firm is developing an internal pipeline of imaging agents for a range of indications, and has over a dozen development programs ongoing with biopharma partners to develop companion diagnostic imaging agents for use alongside therapeutic antibody drugs.
In October 2011 ImaginAb was awarded a $2.3 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the NCI to further develop diagnostic imaging agents for PET, and in particular to accelerate development of its prostate and pancreatic cancer programs.

HTC ThunderBolt ReviewHTC ThunderBolt 8.5
HTC ThunderBolt is with the call quality. The sound is decent for the most part, however there's a bit of buzzing if we turn the call volume all the way up with someone talking. At this point we're not sure if all ThunderBolts have this problem, or maybe this is just a bad batch, but it is something to look for and try out if you are thinking about purchasing one. Aside from that, we could also hear a continual background "hiss".
Signal reception remained good around south FL, and showed 2-3 bars most of the time, though we're not sure if it is showing an indicator just for 4G 700 MHz reception, or is also taking into account standard voice cellular 800/1900MHz reception.
The included 1400mAh battery seems a bit small for a device with such a large screen and 4G LTE data, though it is rated to get up to 6 hours of talk time or 13 days of standby time on a full charge. During our testing over the past few days, we have been able to get up to 7 hours of talk time on a fully charged battery with no data used in the background. But when doing normal mixed usage, which includes some talk time, web browsing, social networking, and using other applications, we could only get about 5-6 hours total before the battery required charging. So it appears to us that the combination of the 4G data, large display, and 1GHz processor will eat through battery time. Verizon does sell a larger 2750mAh capacity battery on their accessories page for $49, which heavy users may be interested in trying out.
We ran a few benchmarking programs on the ThunderBolt to see how well it would stack-up to the DROID X. With Quadrant benchmark, the ThunderBolt got up to 1863, though sometimes would drop down to 1450 (probably because there was another app using the CPU in the background), while the DROID X was usually around 1350-1420. When we ran NeoCore, the Thunderbolt would get between 57-60 fps, with the DROID X at 30-40 fps. And finally we ran AnTuTu Benchmark, which got 1839-1841 on the ThunderBolt and DROID X.
There's a lot to like about the HTC Thunderbolt – fast web browsing and data speeds, Sense user interface, ample 4.3" display, 8MP camera, 32GB memory card, and overall snappy performance thanks to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. If you're in need of the newest and fastest smartphone now, the ThunderBolt is clearly the best choice out there for Verizon. But our two concerns are with the buzzing we heard in the earpiece speaker, and with the color difference we saw with the displays of the two units we received. Because of this, we'd recommend at this point you purchase it from a local store so you can see and try it out there. Just in case it has any issues, you can exchange it on the spot. But if you aren't in a major rush, we'd suggest waiting a while, as there are three other LTE phones coming out in the next few months, and it's hard to tell at this point which one may turn out to be the best. With that said, yes, guys, it is super-awesome to use data with Verizon's brand-new 4G LTE network, and the HTC ThunderBolt makes the experience even better.
Software version of the reviewed unit: Android 2.2.1, Build 1.12.605.6, Kernel 18.104.22.168 Sat Feb 19 2011
HTC ThunderBolt Video Review:
- Fast 4G LTE data speeds
- Can talk on the phone and use data at the same time
- HTC Sense user interface & customizations
- 8MP camera with good picture quality
- 32GB memory card included
- Could hear earpiece buzzing at high call volumes
- Video chat not available yet with Skype
- Able to see TFT color & contrast differences between two units

Mine also has a little static/buzz when the earpiece is turned all the way up... however i will say, that when turned all the way up, the volume is just way too loud. Its almost speakerphoneish. I have mine turned down to the half way mark. Not bc the quality, just bc the volume level.
as for my battery, i just got rid of my Incredible for this phone, and i think this battery is actually holding up better than my incredibles was.

the review states that the Thunderbolt is much faster than the Droid X loading web pages, yet you have a video on the site showing a real time comparison where the conclusion was that they were about the same speed. Can you explain this?
5. AstroStrat89 (unregistered)
I think they stated that all the flash content was turned off on the X.
4. Tre-Nitty (Posts: 468; Member since: 16 Nov 2010)
Exactly, the Droid x killed the thunderbolt. Stop trying to make this phone better than it is.
7. Rejeimha (Posts: 18; Member since: 29 Jul 2010)
Go back and read the update on the comparison test. They admitted that the DX was rooted in order to remove the flash ads from the browser, and the Thunderbolt was keeping up with it out of the box even though it wasn't rooted.
18. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
i said on that comparison test and ill say it again. give it up tre-nitty.... your overwhelming bias is very apparent. its clear that anything you say regarding verizon should just be over looked. you have made up your mind already before the facts are out. thank you PA for letting the truth be known. i had previously said PA is the fox news of phones by how they tried to slam the thunderbolt and verizon with their faulty speed test comparioson and although i wont take back my comment i will commend you for letting us know the actual speed comparison in this review.
6. AstroStrat89 (unregistered)
my cons so far... (upgraded from Eris)
It's just silly I can't charge and use the kick-stand
Screen is washed out in sunlight, Eris wasn't great either
Seem to be some very minor network "glitches" where the conx needs to reset or something. (update fix?)
cost, If I hadn't had a $100 NE2, i would have never gotten one.
Some pre-installed apps are annoying.
Would like a camera button.
Things I like
Screen otherwise is very nice to look at.
Eye popping 4g speeds
Very snappy even when running lots-o-apps
Sense upgrades are nice and useful.
LED under ear piece grid makes nice pattern on the ceiling in the dark :-)
Kickstand more useful then I thought
I think the camera is better then most give credit, the flash worked well for me.
I like the weight my self, feels nice in the hand
Free hotspot til May 15th! Sweet.
Things people need to relax about.
Battery life, give it time and I'll bet battery life will get better. The Eris was bas at 1st too. Also it seems to be the screen that's eating the battery. Not the 4g, but what do I know?
not dual core, I know two is better, but how much more battery will that take, and are you running a web server or something? Geeze.
No HDMI, really? Realllyyy? use the stream Luke.

I'm not the troll. You sniggly and the rest of the Apple bashers are the trolls. I have no problems with android phones. I'm happy with my iPhone and at the same time realize other companies make good phones. I don't need to bash everyone that doesn't want the same phone as me.
11. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
that was a nice comment
12. Kjayhawk (Posts: 293; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
I agree, I hate when people bash the iPhone just because its an iPhone. I get even more pissed off though when Apple fanboys get in an argument that makes no sense and act like they know what they are talking about, same goes for android fan boys. I don't pay attention to who is who, but overall I agree with your argument, things just get plain annoying
15. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I'll Give you thumbs for saying you aren't a troll, and I'll try not to strike you, but sometimes you do look like one.
bout calling me troll, I don't think I go brainlessly bashing against apple, But i can be proven wrong. I have to say they(Apple) produce pretty darn good stuff, I just hate when people brag calling other peoples tech trash or useless crap and start doing the 1 vs 100 comparison among other I say the apple VS android is a win loose comparison with anyone you win something and loose something.

I returned mine today. I was only getting about 3 hours of battery life and the phone was actually running hot in temperature. The google maps and any other "navigation" app were totally off and not accurate. Don't get me wrong; the phone has great DL speeds in the Dallas, TX area. I just can't deal with the battery life and having to charge it up to 3 times per day. Also, the phone said it came with 8GBs; after a couple of apps downloaded I was down to 2GB. Maybe the Bionic will hold it down.
19. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
it sounds like you had a deffective phone buddy..... maybe you should of just exchanged since you still had 11 days to try it.
24. Nunez20v (Posts: 14; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
Maybe I did have a defected phone; just as well as 4 other people that same day @ Verizon (including the rep himself). But I guess that's why they offered the 14 day worry free return policy right? =)
37. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
yeah or maybe your lying.... i have the thundrbolt my sister has the thunderbolt my mom has the thunderbolt.... thinking about getting grandma the thunderbolt..... none with problems you speak of. and it looks like those problems cant be as widespread as you say or there would have been a recall by now. battery is nothing special but clearly 3 hours is not what should happen. i get about 20 hours of battery a day using it very frequent. lucky for me im not awake 20 hours a day. you suck troll!
39. Nunez20v (Posts: 14; Member since: 17 Feb 2011)
I suck troll? WTF is this, kindergarden? I chose not to keep a phone because of its performance and the issues it provided. I just went back to my simple and very effective BlackBerry Curve. Obviously you've read continuous posting on the battery life. If they haven't had a recall for the device they probably will in a couple of months. Look at everyone trying to figure out how to turn this off and turn that off yet not being able to enjoy the full functionalities of the phone. What's the purpose of pocketing out $250 if I can't even enjoy it?
25. theo14461 (unregistered)
Returned mine also. Great display, good call quality, nice build and feel, horrific battery life. Would drain 20% in about an hour of "normal use"
27. theo14461 (unregistered)
I'd like to update my last comment. I must have had a defective TB, exchanged it for another, and battery life is MUCH better.
41. bugsbite (unregistered)
The phone is not defective we just got the phone yesterday and only getting 3-4 hours of battery time and it does run hot, I have no clue how tragichero is getting 20 hours ( maybe running 3G?). Do a Google search this is a known problem.
Will return promptly..............

Regarding downloading apps, doesn't the phone have a 32GB SD card? Can't that be used for apps?
Battery Life -
If you remove the Sim card, does the phone work as a 3G phone? If it does, this would allow testing if the 4G or the display is the source of the battery drain?
In addition, when we had dual digital / analog phones, if you were in a weak area, the battery would drain faster as the phone searched with high power analog transmit to snag a tower. What happens with the 4G channel when you are not in a 4G area? Does the phone burn more battery trying to find towers that are not there? These might not be questions for the Thunderbolt alone, but for all the new 4G phones.
20. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
the phone wont work on 4 or 3g if the sim is out so that test wont work. it needs the sim. yes it uses battery looking for 4g network while in 3 g but using the term burn or drain is an overstatement.... hardly anything at all. the phone shouldnt get only 3 hours and if it took up that much memory its clear nunez just bought a defective phone
16. etownone (Posts: 40; Member since: 25 Jul 2010)
Now i'm hearing rumors or the Droid Bionic being released mid April ...
and my upgrade is on march 31, and i was set on getting the TB.
Mostly every review complains about battery life ... and recommends to wait for the Bionic.
i was so ready to upgrade to the TB ... especially since Verizon might get rid of that unlimited data plan ... but now i'm thinking to take a chance and wait for the Bionic.
bigger battery, dual core CPU, HDMI, qHD screen, and the option of a laptop dock in the future.
22. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
im waiting for the bionic too. its the best phone to be realeased at least in the first half of this year maybe the whole year
23. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Yea, it'll be interesting to do some comparison testing with the T-Bolt and Bionic. The TB is very quick, and like the article stated I also clocked about 18 seconds to download Angry Birds...under 30 seconds to download and install. Near SFO area, 11mbps down and 4 up.
The display is clean and sharp and Sense UI I think looks great and feels polished. It does have a good heft to it and I like that. I can definitely be happy with this phone for the next two years. Im coming from the Incredible so sound quality is much better. I don't notice the sound difference with the kickstand open or closed, it sounds great either way.
Hopin for some Netflix and Skype video/chat in the near future, will try Tango...still need to test dlna...Mine also says only 2 something gb available, so I need to go in to see about that one.
17. griffin2003 (unregistered)
According to the review in Phone Scoop, the battery drain is caused by using 4G and in an area without 4G, the battery life was much better. They promised numbers soon.
I also found a comment that I cannot find again that said you can dial a particular number (some sort of support number) and force the network preference to CDMA. This seems pretty drastic, but without control on the phone itself, it would all you to save the rest of the battery in desperate situations.
21. tragichero (Posts: 163; Member since: 07 Jan 2011)
DO NOT DIAL *228 on the thunderbolt unless you want to DESTROY YOUR SIM CARD. if you dial that number your sim card will be obsolete and you will have to get a new one. sheesh

28. SMARTPHONE before Purchasing (unregistered)
This is a WONDERFUL phone. Everyone complaining about the battery life must....LEARN HOW TO USE A SMART PHONE BEFORE PURCHASING ONE!!! Pretty much you don't know how to use the phone. My battery last me all day and I have heavy call and emails volume. Go to Settings...Applications and CLOSE the apps that aren't being used. Close all of them!! Open apps as needed! Also you need to understand that the phone has live wall paper. If the performance of the phone is more important then looks ( WHICH IT SHOULD BE), change the wall paper. Do not keep your 4G on all the time. 3G works as great! Do not post silly reviews and deprive people of a great phone. Understand the device before posting. Moral of the story is....play with the device in store and ask questions before purchasing! LEARNING IS FUNDAMENTAL...Fantastic Phone for people who understand how to use electronics.
34. oldplayer (unregistered)
smarty, my phone is fully charged. I have an app killer on it with the most aggressive settings, no live wallpaper in fact everything is black, no 4g. No use at all!
I place the phone on the table and 4 hours later the battery without any app running, without any use, no calls, no text, no messages, not even touching the phone the battery goes down to 50%!
There, dummy. Sure it matters how do you use the phone but if it's messed up it's messed up.
I am not saying all the TBs are faulty but reading forums it seems like it's more than a few what would be acceptable in mass production.
HTC should fire a few people including half of the team who are responsible for this junk.

i got tunderbolt a week ago i dont really like or maybe i just have to get use to this new phone . i up grade from the driod x big mistake yes tunderbolt is fastter but it sucks for texting droid x has better texting options .
the other down thing about this phone no camera button on the side which at firts i thougth no problem but i guess yes is really annoying. what is the point to have 8 MP camera when it takes forever to take a picture .
battery life kinda sucks two i have to charge my phone like almost 3 times per day
big mistake sorry driod X i shouldn't got rid off you :(

I have had the Thunderbolt for 2 1/2 weeks now. I live in a marginal area, so at home, 4G is about 1000 feet away. the extended battery solved battery drain issues. I can run the phone for 17 hours with light use and still have 1/4 to 1/3 charge left.
I did notice something which I wish someone at phone arena would look into. There are two antennas in the back cover, a small one( wifi?) and a large one (3G, 4G?). On the standard back, the large antenna appears to be some painted on material and the small antenna is a piece of metal. On the extended battery case, both antennas are metal sheets. Could this be part of the problem?

I need advice. i have AT&T prepaid and im looking into either staying with AT&T and get the Atrix or inspire...or go to verizon and get the thunderbolt???
i know that verizon is ending their unltd data plan soon and ive heard nothing but good things from them about their voice service...but i dont talk on the phone that much so its almost irrelevant to me.
Ive had little problems with AT&T, but i know that i'll go over 2GB/month with either the atrix or the inspire. i want to wait for AT&T to have its own LTE service and see what happens, but i dont know yet
i know that im going to get some biased folks to weigh in on this, but i want some REAL GEEKS to help me out with this because i'll have a contract with either AT&T or verizon and i cant afford to think twice about it
32. dave (unregistered)
i have just got back to England from vegas where i noticed the thunderbolt and i really liked the look and sound of it but the thunderbolt does not seem to have a realese date over here in England..
Can you please tell me when it will be realesed over here.
33. oldplayer (unregistered)
The phone I was waiting for so much turned out to be a big let down.
There is no 4G in this area yet I still needed 2 apps to kill running apps and turn the 4G off or I had to charge the phone TWICE a day with MINIMAL use. Not sure if 4G had anything to do with it but that doesn't change the facts: the battery is good for a few hours. If I use it a little more I have to charge it 3 TIMES. I have never turn on the wifi and the standalone gps. Unacceptable battery performance.
The speaker is horrible, it's wavy.. the sound is higher, lower by the sec. but if I turn it off it's steady on the phone. In fact the phone is LOUDER on the lowest setting sometimes than the speaker. Horrible quality but louder. It gets stuck, it shows the phone at the lowest sound but it's on the highest and it so loud you cannot put it to your ear. My friends couldn't believe it, so we tried it a couple times. They are still laughing on the TB...
The call quality is substandard to say the least. Compared to my old Nokia XM (with the other provider) this is garbage.
Verizon is so proud about the coverage but in this area my old XM had full bar and the TB has 1-2, if I hold the TB in my palm all the signal is lost. The coverage map is a lie or this phone is bad at that one too.
Several calls/day go straight to the voicemail without even ringing!
My 3G turns to 1x or nothing time to time. Especially in buildings.
I only had it a few days ago so today I contacted WFly - the seller - and they are sending another one. I wonder how much better that will be... I should have waited for the Bionic.... I hate the icrap for the simple minded with their Fuhrer on the top and hated the greedy at&t more with their 4GB "unlimited" plan but not sure if this is any better... at least I could make a call on my xm at at&t.

I just got a thunderbolt last week and I just love it so far. I wish I had 4G in my area right now but its coming soon. I bet most of the people complaining about battery life are coming from dumbphones or something. It's like a mini laptop people. You.can't expect it to load YouTube videos all week on one charge. It lasts me just fine for a day on moderate usage
36. Lou2253 (unregistered)
The thundrbolt is a great phone, It is fast, works great as a hot spot but I had it for 12 days and returned it.
The phone is only as good as the battery lasts and this battery only lasted 4 hours after charging all night. I can't work like that.
38. AaronsIpodTouch (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 Aug 2009)
Gosh! Sentence after sentence you degrade this device. Was the author of this review just irritated or something? Maybe your device was defective.
My thunderbolt's display is noticeably better than the Droid X's which i had upgraded from. Very easy, in fact, to see in direct sunlight when the brightness is all the way up. Whites certainly look, well, white especially in comparison to my computer's monitor.
Battery is disappointing, however I normally do not use my phone "heavily" for long periods of time so it is fine for me.

I have the TB. I love the TB. I switched from iPhone and cannot be any happier. I absolutely do not miss anything about the iPhone. I have 3g at home and 4g LTE at work. It is noticeably faster with LTE, but is still faster than my iPhone was at 3G. Battery life sucks, but it does on all smartphones. (In my opinion) I've never had a problem with the call quality as described in the article. It sounds great. I charge twice a day, and have always had to do that with every smartphone I've ever owned. Only because I'm an extremely heavy user. Overall, its an A+ in my book. I would wait for the Bionic if you necessarily have to have the HDMI port, but for me that is the least of my worries :)

Thanks for the review and additional user comments.
I am looking at the next-best to possibly replace my Incredible. I am very pleased with it, but would enjoy an bigger screen and perhaps faster speeds.
Two comments I have in looking at the kickstand feature, is WHY wouldn't you be able to plug the charger in while in kickstand mode?? Another, if the speaker is severely hampered by the kickstand, it should be machined out so that the kickstand is just a frame and not solid.
Just my visual observations.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
April 24, 2013
When Dr. James Barnett joined the faculty to teach biology at Saint Vincent College in the fall of 1985, the primary attraction was the opportunity to teach. Now, 28 years and thousands of students later, he remains clearly focused on teaching. "I truly have had the opportunity to teach," Barnett commented. "I enjoy that the most! I have worked closely with students in a number of roles – in the classroom, as a senior research mentor, as an advisor and as chair of the Pre-professional Health Committee. There are many ways to teach both inside and outside the classroom, both personal and educational." Barnett has supervised more than 100 senior research projects over the years, though he hasn't done any since he began teaching in the nurse anesthesia graduate program six years ago. He has also chaired the committee that advises and guides students seeking admission to medical and other health profession schools. "The Pre-professional Health Committee is something I have enjoyed in recent years. Earlier, I served as chair of the biology department. The opportunity to do different things at different times has kept my work interesting." During his long career, Barnett has taught introductory biology for science majors and non-majors, exercise and sports physiology, mammalian physiology, and for the graduate program, advanced anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. While he admits that some students have stood out over the years, he hesitates to identify them because there are so many. "A number have gone on to health professional schools and have kept in contact with me which I greatly appreciate," he added. "Their success is in part attributable to what they brought to the College – the values their parents taught them, their beliefs, work ethic and interest in science. We contribute to their preparation and they move on. I hesitate to take any credit for their success." Barnett said that one of the fundamental things that has changed is that he used to teach by example but now overtly teaches students how to think. "When I work through a problem, I don't do it as an example. I think out loud and share what is going through my mind as I solve the problem. I spend time explaining how to think about science." Barnett praised his colleagues in the Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Computing and commented that the environment in which he worked has always been positive due to the people he worked with. "The faculty is great. We have a very collegial, respectful, open department which has made it wonderful to work here. The new Sis and Herman Dupré Science Pavilion has enhanced the physical environment. The facilities enable us to do some things better and to do new things. However, the people are the most important dimension of our school." In the future, Barnett predicts more collaborative learning and student-centered classrooms, rather than teacher-centered classrooms. "I think educational methods will move toward more collaboration," he added. During the next few years, he plans to begin to transition from full time to half time teaching. "I want to devote more time to my wife, Ginny, and our family. And I want to spend more time with my hobbies – building wooden models of 17th and 18th century sailing ships, machining historic brass locomotives and back road bicycling." A native of Boston, Barnett grew up in San Francisco and earned a bachelor of science and a Ph.D. in animal physiology from the University of California at Davis. He was a National Research Council research associate in NASA's biomedical research division before he came to Saint Vincent. He is the author of journal articles in various aspects of biomedical research. He has been recognized several times for excellence in teaching by the Pennsylvania Academy for the Profession of Teaching, Council for the Advancement and Support of Education and Saint Vincent College's Boniface Wimmer Faculty Award.

, updated November 7, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Former TV news reporter Stefan Mychajliw unseated Democratic incumbent David Shenk as Erie County comptroller. Mychajliw, the Republican challenger, kept his lead in a nailbiter with 52 percent of the vote as of early Wednesday – 183,554 to 172,287 – with 99 percent of districts reporting.
"The most touching part of this entire election is that my father was born in a country under communist rule, under an iron first, and today he was able to cast a vote for his own son," Mychajliw said. "I'm touched that I can dedicate this win to my parents. I'm thankful to the people of Erie County. I'm humbled by their support."
The race for comptroller pitted the well-known television news personality and public relations spokesman against an Army reservist and former Boston town clerk. In the end, name recognition and the promise of political and fiscal independence trumped the benefits of experience and incumbency.
Both men waged a fierce race for the comptroller's seat, both doing the necessary legwork and campaign appearances, and spending huge sums on television advertising. Mychajliw raised nearly $98,000 toward the race, and Shenk raised more than $86,000, as of the last campaign finance report.
But voters were apparently swayed by Mychajliw's public message of fiscal and political independence.
Mychajliw, 38, ran on the Republican, Independence and Conservative party lines. He enjoyed great name recognition in this race as a former reporter for WKBW, then WGRZ, from 2001 to 2007. He is co-founder of a public relations firm and has stayed in the news as a spokesman, previously representing the Buffalo Public Schools and then-County Executive Chris Collins in his failed bid for re-election last year.
He promoted his roots as the son of frugal and hardworking immigrant parents and drew on his career as a reporter during the county's red/green budget crisis. As county comptroller, he said, he will continue to wage a fight against government corruption and patronage.
Mychajliw turned his Republican affiliation to his advantage in an otherwise Democratic county by promising to be a politically independent counterweight to a Democratic county executive. Though new to political campaigning, he worked his campaign aggressively, on foot and on air.
"The positive nature of our campaign connected with voters," Mychajliw said. "This is a monumental win for a Republican countywide in a Democratic, Obama presidential year."
He turned out two slick political commercials that pushed a message of personal commitment and independent values. That led Shenk to follow up with a second campaign commercial in which he held up a red jacket – the signature apparel of WGRZ reporters – and told viewers, "I don't need one of these to ask the tough questions."
Shenk, a Democrat appointed in February to fill the seat vacated by County Executive Mark Poloncarz, ran on the Democratic and Working Family party lines. He touted his fiscal experience as Boston town clerk for 10 years, his in-house accomplishments as county comptroller, and his long military service in the Army Reserves, including three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Shenk, 42, was endorsed by the Good Government Club and a dozen unions, hoping to capitalize on the county's Democratic enrollment edge in this presidential election year, which traditionally leads to high turnout.
As comptroller, he said, he has conducted audits of the County Clerk's Office, the county's Medicaid transportation provider, and the Sheriff's Office. The audits have saved the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, he said.
His office is also conducting the first comprehensive audit of the Erie County Water Authority in more than a decade – an example, he said, of how there are no "sacred cows" in his approach.
But Mychajliw cast Shenk as a political appointee beholden to Democratic party bosses for his job, rendering him incapable of being a true independent watchdog when it comes to Poloncarz. He called the current situation a case of "the fox guarding the henhouse."
Mychajliw also criticized Shenk for supporting Poloncarz's decision to borrow county money without going through the county's state-appointed financial control board, which could borrow more cheaply.
Mychajliw said he knows the value of a dollar. He repeatedly mentioned his roots as the child of frugal, hardworking Polish and Ukrainian immigrants. He told stories about his grandmother nailing shingles to her own roof and sent reporters pictures of his worn-out campaign shoes and the odometer reading on his 1999 Oldsmobile, which is pushing 140,000 miles.
As comptroller, he said he will use audits to hold politicians accountable, save taxpayers money by encouraging borrowing through the control board, and propose ways to build up county reserves by cutting government spending.
Mychajliw also said he will hire "the best and the brightest" fiscal minds to keep county government in check.
"I'm in the construction business," he said. "I want to build Erie County up into a model of fiscal responsibility."

Swiss Chard and Saffron Tart Recipe
By Joanne Bruno | December 3, 2012
I love the idea of savory tarts, but we're reaching that point in the holiday season when I am utterly weary of cutting butter into flour and chilling for two hours, only to then fail to roll out a pie crust that doesn't look like a patchwork quilt. Plus, I'm getting enough saturated fat at dessert…I don't really need it for lunch and dinner, too.
This week, I discovered yeasted tart dough and my whole worldview shifted. Not only is it easy to throw together, but there is nary a tablespoon of butter in sight making it figure-friendly. While not quite as flaky as as a butter-based crust, it is a bit heartier, which pairs perfectly with this saffron-infused swiss chard filling. Now you truly can have your "pie" and eat it too.
