New Collaboration between the Helguera (RIT), Dalecki, and Hocking Labs
A new collaboration, funded by the NIH, brings together the expertise of Professor Maria Helguera (Center for Imaging Sciences, RIT), Professor Diane Dalecki (BME, UR), and Professor Denise Hocking (Pharmacology & Physiology, UR). The collaborative effort focuses on developing novel, ultrasound tissue characterization techniques for engineered tissues. This work is part of a larger project, led by Drs. Dalecki and Hocking and funded by the NIH, that aims to develop ultrasound-based technologies for the field of tissue engineering.
Dr. Helguera's laboratory is devoted to advancing multimodal imaging and materials characterization techniques. Over the years, she has developed a suite of nondestructive, ultrasound-based materials characterization techniques for non-biological materials, such as polymers, ceramics, and layered materials. Through this new collaborative effort, the novel approaches that Dr. Helguera has developed and implemented for ultrasound characterization of non-biological materials will be translated to characterize the biological properties of engineered tissues. We propose to extend and apply high frequency ultrasound-based, tissue characterization techniques to monitor non-invasively biological and structural properties of cells and extracellular matrix proteins within three-dimensional engineered tissues. NIH support for the next two years will allow Dr. Helguera to spend the fall semesters and part of her summers devoted full-time to the research project as a Visiting Scientist in the Dalecki lab at the UR BME department. Drs. Helguera, Dalecki, and Hocking are all members of the Rochester Center for Biomedical Ultrasound.

Kelley Garvin Wins Best Student Paper Competition
Kelley Garvin won the Best Student Paper Competition at the 157th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America held in Portland, OR from May 18-22. Her paper, titled
Ultrasound standing wave fields control the spatial distribution of cells and protein in three-dimensional engineered tissue,was recognized as the best student paper in the Biomedical Ultrasound / Bioresponse to Vibration Technical Section. Kelley presented her recent work demonstrating the use of ultrasound fields to non-invasively control the spatial locations of cells in collagen-based engineered tissues. Ultrasound standing wave fields were used to organize cells into planar bands within collagen gels, resulting in a significant two-fold increase in cell-mediated gel contraction, suggesting that ultrasound-induced cell organization leads to a differential extracellular matrix remodeling. Further, using ultrasound to spatially band endothelial cells within collagen gels resulted in vessel sprouting. These novel technologies have important applications to the fabrication of engineered tissues with desired tissue characteristics. Kelley is a third year graduate student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and her thesis research is co-advised by Dr. Diane Dalecki and Dr. Denise Hocking. Kelley is also a student member of the Rochester Center for Biomedical Ultrasound (RCBU). Kelley's research is part of a larger, multidisciplinary project, led by Drs. Dalecki and Hocking and funded by the NIH, that aims to develop novel ultrasound technologies for the field of tissue engineering.

New Five-Year NIH Grant to Study Ultrasound and Wound Healing Awarded to a Multi-Disciplinary Team of Engineers, Scientists, and Physicians
Diane Dalecki, Ph.D. (BME) and Denise Hocking, Ph.D. (Pharmacology and Physiology) are multi-PIs on a new, R01 NIH grant entitled "Mechanisms for Wound Healing with Ultrasound." The grant was awarded by the NIBIB for a five-year period. The overall goal of the project is to identify key biological and physical mechanisms for ultrasound-enhanced soft tissue wound healing in order to develop the use of ultrasound for chronic wound therapy. The guiding hypothesis of the work is that mechanical forces associated with ultrasound propagation are capable of triggering conformational changes to extracellular matrix proteins that in turn enhance cell growth and contractility, stimulate cellular migration, promote collagen organization and mechanical strength, and increase blood flow to tissues. The multi-disciplinary team of engineers, basic scientists, and physicians on the project are Ingrid Sarelius, Ph.D. (Pharmacology and Physiology), Sheryl Gracewski, Ph.D. (ME), Sabine Brouxhon, M.D. (Emergency Medicine), Charles Francis, M.D. (Medicine/Hematology), and Edwin Carstensen, Ph.D. (ECE).

NIH awards grant to study Ultrasound Technologies for Tissue Engineering
Diane Dalecki, Ph.D. and Denise Hocking, Ph.D., serve as multi-PIs on a grant from the NIH NIBIB titled
Ultrasound Technologies for Tissue Engineering. The overall goal is to develop ultrasound-based enabling technologies for the fabrication and monitoring of functional, 3D artificial tissues. Through the project, they will develop the use of ultrasound to regulate the structure and organization of the extracellular matrix in order to stimulate cell processes that are critical for engineering functional tissue constructs. Current studies are testing the ability of ultrasound to produce conformational changes in fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein that plays key roles in regulating cell growth and migration. Working with co-investigators Stephen McAleavey, Ph.D. and Sheryl Gracewski, Ph.D., the team is also developing and applying new ultrasound imaging and tissue characterization techniques to noninvasively monitor the material and biological properties of engineered tissues, and to validate the measurements through mechanical testing and finite element modeling.

U.S. Navy Awards Grant to Study Neural Effects of Underwater Sound to John Olschowka, Ph.D. and Diane Dalecki, Ph.D.
John Olschowka (PI, Dept. of Neurobiology & Anatomy) and Diane Dalecki (co-I) received a two-year grant from the U.S. Navy titled
Neural Effects of Underwater Sound.Underwater sound fields are used for numerous commercial and military applications, including imaging, oil exploration, mapping the ocean, and harbor surveillance. Sponsored by the U.S. Navy, Drs. Olschowka and Dalecki have embarked on a new collaborative project that will investigate the interactions of continuous and impulsive underwater sound fields with the brain and spinal cord. The Olschowka lab, in the UR Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, has long-standing expertise in examining injury to neural tissues, including trauma, using molecular, protein, and immunohistochemical techniques. Using the acoustic sources and technical expertise of the Dalecki lab, the team will investigate neural bioeffects of sound fields at frequencies ranging from 500 Hz-30 kHz. To also study the effects of acoustic impulses, the facilities and expertise available at Hydroacoustic, Inc. will be employed to generate underwater impulsive sound fields using an air gun system. Neural tissues of animals exposed to these continuous and impulsive underwater sound fields will be assessed for vascular damage, axonal injury, and glial activation. Results of this project will help to establish safe exposure guidelines for human divers and marine life exposed to underwater sound fields.

Following Boyer's typology in Scholarship Reconsidered, consider scholarship to include the full range of Scholarship of Discovery, Scholarship of Integration, Scholarship of Application, and Scholarship of Teaching.
- Endowed Chairs have additional reporting responsibilities detailed in section 8, part VB of the Faculty Handbook.
- Please remember to attach a dated copy of your current c.v. to this document.
Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate
By Ernest Boyer (1990)
- "Scholarship of Discovery"—"traditionally-conceived original research, committed "to knowledge for its own sake, to freedom of inquiry and to following, in a disciplined fashion, an investigation wherever it may lead" (Boyer 17);
- "Scholarship of Integration"—"serious, disciplined work that seeks to interpret, draw together, and bring new insight to bear on original research" that involves "doing research at the boundaries where fields converge,...making connections across the disciplines, placing the specialities in larger context, illuminating data in a revealing way, often educating nonspecialists, too" (Boyer 18-19);
- "Scholarship of Application"—"service activities" that are "tied directly to one's special field of knowledge and relate to, and flow directly out of, this professional activity" (Boyer 22);
- "Scholarship of Teaching"—"the self-conscious examination and practice of teaching in which "pedagogical procedures must be carefully planned, continuously examined, and relate directly to the subject taught," in order to "stimulate active, not passive, learning and encourage students to be critical, creative thinkers," in a process through which "faculty, as scholars, are also learners...pushed in creative new directions" (Boyer 23-24).

COLUMBIA -- Welcome to Carolina Stadium, home of the SEC's best 1-5 baseball team.
The two-time defending College World Series champion South Carolina Gamecocks are 17-7 overall but fell four games out of first place in the SEC East on Saturday. A 5-4 loss to No. 1 Florida in the rubber match of a captivating three-game series at Carolina Stadium put the home team in a big hole and a bad mood.
South Carolina had nowhere to go but down after triumphing twice in Omaha.
Now the Gamecocks have nowhere to go but up in the standings.
The Gators are No. 1 for almost as many reasons as they have uniforms. But South Carolina plays its next five games on the road, with a three-game SEC series at Vanderbilt sandwiched between a Tuesday night game at The Citadel and an April 4 visit to the College of Charleston.
"I don't feel too good, to be honest with you," USC coach Ray Tanner said. "We've played hard. We've had some spurts that we've been a pretty good club, but we haven't been able to put it all together. Hopefully, we'll make some strides and get some games back that have been close and they got away from us.
"All you can do is keep grinding it out."
'Not satisfied'
A win Saturday and it's a different spin.
But with two outs in the ninth inning and the game tied 3-3, Matt Price hit Florida's No. 9 hitter, Cody ("Son of Bucky") Dent, with a 3-2 pitch, right before Nolan Fontana came through with a two-run triple.
The inning before, pinch-hitter Michael Roth -- yes, the hero pitcher Michael Roth -- and freshman catcher Grayson Greiner struck out with two runners on base.
Florida is so good, the Gators can win with 2010 ninth overall draft pick Karsten Whitson still out of the rotation with an arm injury. A guy named Vickash Ramjit came off the bench to hit two home runs in Florida's 8-2 victory Friday. When Brian Johnson isn't an undefeated starting pitcher, he serves as a designated hitter.
"We're getting better," South Carolina junior first baseman Christian Walker said. "We're scoring more runs. But we're still not winning, which is the ultimate goal. So they could score 10 runs, and if we only score nine, we're still not satisfied. That's really about it."
South Carolina this season is 0-4 on the road against major conference teams (one loss at Clemson, three Kentucky).
Yeah, and The Citadel and College of Charleston have to feel relatively confident. Fellow Southern Conference member Wofford, as recently as Wednesday night, defeated the Gamecocks.
'A daily grind'
"It's going to be a challenge," Tanner said. "It's a daily grind, but I think it's one of those deals that if you enjoy putting on the uniform, it's a tremendous challenge. We've got some guys that are grinding it out and we've got some guys that back off a little bit at times.
"They're aggressive and then they're tentative. They're young, they're inexperienced, a lot of them. It's difficult for them."
This quest might take a while.
If USC takes two of three games over the next four SEC series -- Vandy, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Auburn -- they will pull even in league play. By late April.
As demonstrated in a tossup Game 3 against the nation's top-ranked team, South Carolina easily is good enough to win any game or any series. But securing a national seed in the NCAA tournament -- the ticket to hosting a super regional -- is a long "grind" away.

Analysts: He needs to offer much more to lure investors
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn will have to pony up at least another $5 per share to get the love he seeks from Lionsgate's investors.
Icahn's current tender offer of $7.50 per share, his latest extended bid that expires Dec. 10, is woefully inadequate, some major shareholders said privately this week. An offer of, say, $12.50 might prompt them to sell, they added.
At the same time, Icahn has proposed a slate of five directors for Lionsgate's 12-member board that he hopes will win approval at the mini-major's annual meeting Dec. 14 and allow him to chart Lionsgate's destiny.
Icahn has stubbornly stuck to the $7.50 offer, extending it five times. An Icahn spokeswoman could not be reached for comment.
Clearly, Lionsgate's current shareholders and Icahn each have their own agendas and views on the company's value, but an offer of $12.50 per share is not overly inflated, say analysts. "(Icahn's) $7.50 offer is laughable," said James Marsh, an analyst with Piper Jaffray. He added that some analysts have a $10 per share 12-month target price on the stock, and that a takeover premium of $2 or so is within reason. The offer of $7.50 represents just about a 2% premium over Lionsgate's current trading price. (Company's share price was up 18¢ at the close of trading Wednesday to $7.39.)
It is widely believed that the majority of Lionsgate shareholder base are long-term investors who are holding the stock because they see tremendous upside potential for Lionsgate, said Marla Backer, an analyst with Hudson Square Research. For those shareholders to cash out today, it would take an offer of $12.50 or so, she said.
Lionsgate is an "amazingly complex" company for shareholders to understand, said Piper Jaffray's Marsh. With a market value of $1 billion, it is considered a small cap stock, yet its various businesses, from a cable channel to movie and TV production, make it seem more like a larger media company. By comparison, Time Warner has a market cap of $33 billion.
"Once an investor is able to size up this company, they take the long view," Marsh said.
On Friday, the New York Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments over Icahn's motion to prevent Lionsgate's No. 2 shareholder, Mark Rachesky, from voting shares he received as part of a swap-for-equity stake in July that essentially diluted Icahn's position in Lionsgate.

THE BRONX—Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday he was unaware of the problems plaguing a Harlem anti-violence site that uses ex-gang members to stop shootings but that he stood behind the model the city has chosen to address stubborn gun violence in the city's toughest neighborhoods.
Harlem SNUG is one of 14 sites that the mayor and the City Council dedicated $13 million to last year as part of de Blasio's Gun Crisis Violence Management system. The system was based on the Cure Violence model, created by criminologist David Kennedy and based on the idea that gun violence could be treated like a disease.
"I'd say the broad concept is getting intervention I believe in very fundamentally," de Blasio said at an event in The Bronx. "I'm a big fan of David Kennedy and the concept he created about how you stop gang violence before it proliferates; how you involve community members, family members, clergy in that effort."
But the central Harlem site, run by the Mission Society, is under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's office following the shooting of a former employee.
There were also allegations that active gang members were still involved in the program and possibly dealing drugs and recruiting new gang members.
On Monday, DNAinfo New York reported that the supervisor of one of the expansion sites in The Bronx had been arrested for domestic violence for brutally beating and threatening to kill his former girlfriend, a fellow employee.
DNAinfo is withholding the name of the defendant in the domestic violence case to protect the identity of the victim. The defendant is facing charges of assault and harassment and has been released without bail.
The victim claims that Mission Society was aware of the abuse and did nothing.
In fact, she says Mission made her work in the same building as her abuser despite having a restraining order against him, charges the Mission Society has denied.
The victim says her abuser was promoted to supervisor of one of the expansion sites under de Blasio's program even after her beating.
Mission Society is investigating the allegations against the supervisor accused of domestic violence, an ex-gang member who is still employed with the non-profit.
The victim was fired by Mission Society, along with several other employees who said they were in fear of their lives because of alleged threats made against Harlem SNUG following the shooting of the former employee.
The Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice has said it is involved to make sure the Department of Health and the Mission Society are following proper hiring and employee management protocols.
Elsie McCabe Thompson, former head of the Museum for African Art and wife of former comptroller and mayoral candidate Bill Thompson, has head the Mission Society for the last year.
The trouble with the program comes as the city is experiencing an increase in shootings, including a bloody weekend where three people were killed and 23 wounded in 21 shooting incidents, The Daily News reported.
De Blasio said the model works.
"We certainly have had some real success with former gang members getting their life together and then being agents of peace," said the mayor.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Children with a high risk of joining gangs can attend a summer program sponsored by Syracuse police to help keep them out of trouble.
The G.R.E.A.T. Summer Youth Academy is meant to teach kids how to cope with pressure to join gangs through team and confidence building exercises, said Lt. Geno Turo.
The year-long program, Gang Resistance Education and Training, is a national initiative that teaches kids how and why they should stay out of gangs. Three officers, who are also certified teachers, run the Syracuse-based program.

Turo said one major team and confidence building exercise they do at the summer sessions is an obstacle course that requires kids to complete individual tasks to help their team finish the course. The course starts on the ground before rising to a height of 30 feet, where kids try to do it again while wearing safety harnesses.
Turo said other activities include role playing games, field trips and lectures.
"This is our only line of offense (against gangs)," Turo said.
The summer academy is also meant to create a relationship with police officers and young people who might come from a community where mutual respect between the two does not exist.
"Their environment tells them police are evil," Turo said, adding that reports of officer shootings, such as the one in which a black man was shot and killed while running away from police in South Carolina, do nothing to help ease tensions between the groups.
"That's not who we really are. That's an exceptional disgrace to our field," Turo said.
He admits that not everyone can be saved from turning toward a life of crime or drugs, but he steadfastly says the prevention programs work.
He said students tell officers from one year to the next that they've used skills they learned at the summer academy or through G.R.E.A.T. to stay out of gangs.
"Those are the little success stories," Turo said.
Applications for the summer academy can be found at the Syracuse Police Department website.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A Latin Kings gang leader in New Jersey has been convicted again for his involvement in the 2004 killing of a female gang member who witnessed an abduction.
Latin Kings leader Jose "Boom Bat" Negrete was found guilty of murder and conspiracy in the death of 23-year-old Jeri Lynn Dotson. He was also convicted of attempted murder for his role in the abduction and beating of a rival gang member.
Negrete was also convicted in 2009, but his 80-year prison sentence was overturned by an appellate court because of jury misconduct.
Negrete's attorney, Jack Furlong, says he will file a motion for a new trial. He says he was deprived of his right to confront some of the fellow gang members who testified against him.
Fifteen alleged gang members were charged with everything from attempted murder to conspiracy after the clan allegedly plotted vicious crimes via social media, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The Lyman Bosses, a violent Bronx based gang, was being probed by the District Attorney's office and the NYPD as they monitored their Facebook interactions where the thugs often posted about targeting rival gangs, sources said.
The youngest of those arrested was 17-year-old Fabian Johnson who was charged with conspiracy, robbery and assault, according to an official press release from the District Attorney's office.
Daquan Carrasco,18, also known as Day Day Lyman, was slapped with charges of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon, records show.
Ten of the 15 gang members face conspiracy charges.
Seven of the thugs were already in police custody for prior offenses, including a March 1 robbery, where the violent teens assaulted a food delivery man and swiped his cell phone and cash, sources said.
The remaining eight men were rounded up during a raid conducted by the NYPD's 42nd Precinct early Wednesday morning.
Some of gang affiliates have whacky nicknames like 'Sal Capone' and 'Mal Pacino.'
"This investigation is an example of law enforcement addressing the violence caused by street crews such as the Lyman Gang whose reckless actions affect the quality of life of the residents where they operate," said Police Commissioner William J. Bratton.
"I want to thank the members of the 42nd Precinct and the Bronx District Attorney's Office for bringing these alleged crew members to justice," he added.
Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said, " "This kind of violence is senseless, and it is our office's goal, along with that of the NYPD, to make sure that guns are taken off the streets, and those wrongdoers who would use guns or other means to threaten the safety of law abiding citizens, are targeted by our investigations."
NEW YORK (AP) — A reputed street gang leader has been sentenced to life in prison following a New York City trial that featured his amateur rap videos.
A judge Thursday announced the sentencing of 33-year-old Ronald Herron, who was found guilty in a Brooklyn federal court last year of multiple counts of murder, racketeering and drug trafficking.
Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis sentenced Herron to 12 life terms plus 105 years, saying the amateur rapper has "shown a complete lack of remorse for (his) abhorrent conduct," The New York Times reports.
Herron seemed defiant in the wake of his sentencing, saying the court created "an atmosphere of guilt."
"You can sentence me to 10 life sentences," he told the court, according to the New York Post. "But I am only going to die one time. God have mercy on all of us.
During the trial, prosecutors showed jurors videos of Herron rhyming about carrying guns and spilling the blood of rivals. The government argued the recordings were proof of his status as the violent leader of a Bloods faction called the Murderous Mad Dogs.
Before trial, the defense had unsuccessfully argued that the videos should be off-limits because they're free speech. Herron testified that his lyrics were "exaggeration" and "hyberbole."
Kathy Buettner, the spokeswoman for Cure Violence, responded to the story Friday and wrote: "The issues about the management of a site are handled at the local level, not at the Cure Violence national level."
New York City Mission Society, the organization that runs Harlem SNUG, said staffing changes were recently made but did not say whether allegations of gang activity were the cause.
Jeff Simmons, a spokesman for the Mission Society, did not provide more details.
Shawanna Vaughn thought she had landed her dream job in November, joining New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's $12.7 million plan to curtail the bloodshed produced by the city's deadly mix of street beefs and guns.
The 36-year-old mother of two went to work as a violence interrupter for Harlem SNUG (that's guns spelled backwards), part of a nationwide program called Cure Violence that treats urban crime as a contagious disease. Vaughn earned a $32,000 salary interviewing victims of stabbings and shootings as they recovered in Harlem Hospital. She would offer to help mediate between victims and attackers, to defuse tensions. She always promised to keep their stories secret from the police.
Now Vaughn has become, depending on who is telling the story, a whistleblower or a snitch. In late February, Vaughn told a program director with the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice that Harlem SNUG employs active members of the Bloods gang and a subsidiary group called Shine Love, a street crew based out of a nearby public housing development. In an interview with The Marshall Project, Vaughn said neighborhood drug dealers used the SNUG office bathroom to deal narcotics. On one occasion, she said, a former SNUG employee showed up at the office with three armed men who pulled out their guns on a co-worker. On March 12 she was fired, and took her story to the New York Police Department.
"People's public safety is at risk," Vaughn said. "You have to tell the truth."
Cure Violence declined to respond to questions about Vaughn's charges or to say why she was fired. The Manhattan District Attorney's office has a prosecutor looking into her allegations. Sarah Solon, a spokeswoman for Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice, confirmed city officials are also investigating.
"The City takes these allegations seriously," Solon wrote in a statement. "We do not want to lose sight of the important role that credible messengers and targeted programming can play in preventing violence, however it must be done in a manner that promotes safety."
Safety has been a recurring issue for Harlem SNUG's parent organization, Cure Violence, which uses former gang members to mediate simmering street conflicts between warring teenagers and young adults who are beyond the influence of local police.
Cure Violence was started under the rubric CeaseFire in Chicago in 1995 by Gary Slutkin, an epidemiologist who theorized that gang violence could be treated like an epidemic. (Slutkin had worked with the World Health Organization combating AIDS in Uganda.) Unlike an anti-gang model popularized in Boston during the late 1990s, in which ex-offenders and police officers worked together to curtail violence, Slutkin's approach leans more heavily on members of the street culture.
"We hire the people who already know everybody around from the same neighborhoods, and they're very much trusted," said Slutkin in a recent NPR interview. "There's a way to reverse epidemics. And in order to interrupt the transmission, you need to detect and find first cases."
Cure Violence, based out of the University of Illinois at Chicago's School of Public Health, employs an estimated 350 outreach workers in 23 cities across the country and has a reputation as an effective anti-violence program. It has received more than $14 million from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and a version of the program launched in Baltimore, called Safe Streets, has won multiple grants from the U.S. Department of Justice. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for The Prevention of Youth Violence reported in a January 2012 study that the Baltimore program had mediated 276 disputes and prevented at least five homicides and 35 nonfatal shootings within a three year span. The program was the subject of an acclaimed documentary, "The Interrupters," that followed CeaseFire street workers around tough Chicago neighborhoods over the course of a year.
But the Baltimore Health Department closed the Safe Streets office in December 2013 after police arrested an outreach worker for carrying a handgun. That announcement came a few weeks after the U.S. Marshals arrested one of the program's most famous employees, Nathan "Bodie" Barksdale, who was an inspiration for the drug lord character Avon Barksdale on the HBO series "The Wire". The Drug Enforcement Agency accused Barksdale of being a heroin dealer for the Black Guerilla Mafia.
Chicago cut funding for the program in that city (still called CeaseFire) after police grew suspicious that employees, many of whom were former felons, had returned to a criminal lifestyle, and after Tio Hardiman, the organization's Illinois director was arrested for punching his wife (the charges were later dropped). Hardiman sounds disenchanted with the organization's approach.
"You have to have a mix. You can't just have former gang members working. You gotta have people who haven't broken the law," Hardiman told The Marshall Project.
Cure Violence spokeswoman Kathy Buettner declined to comment on the problems in specific cities and defended the program's continued mission of sending ex-offenders into rough neighborhoods to stem shootings.
"We are training and retraining all the time," Buettner said.
The issues in Chicago and in Baltimore didn't impede officials in New York from expanding Cure Violence across the state under Operation SNUG. The state Division of Criminal Justice Services oversees ten SNUG offices and the city Department of Health and City Council funds sites in 14 police precincts.
Jeffrey Butts, a director of research at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, co-wrote an ongoing analysis of Cure Violence's presence in high-crime New York City neighborhoods and found that homicide rates are on a downward trend in three areas that employed the interrupters in Brooklyn and in northern Manhattan.
"They can form relationships in high-violence communities that police, social workers and ministers simply can't," Butts said.
Vaughn, whose allegations have cast a shadow over the New York program, understands both sides of the law. The daughter of a 20-year veteran of the Bakersfield Police Department, she said she served four years in a California prison for robbing a Bank of America branch. Her brother was murdered in Bakersfield when he was 24.
The NYPD has since moved Vaughn and her two children out of her old apartment and into a safe house while police continue to investigate whether her former co-workers have connections to the Bloods. She is angry that her complaints were initially ignored, and fearful for her family's safety.
"Cure Violence has made me start my whole life over," Vaughn said. "I am so disgusted."
Seven reputed members and associates of a notorious South Queens street gang last week were indicted on conspiracy, weapons and other charges for the attempted murder, shooting and assault of two men believed to be associated with a rival gang on the same day in January, 2013, according to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.
Jerald Lowe, Jeffrey Bien-Aime, Rasheed Watson, Jonathan Jean-Pierre, Anthony Biggs, Kenneth Stokes and Dayjah Knowles—all allegedly either members or associates of the Everybody Killas gang—were arraigned on charges of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree attempted assault, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, first- and second-degree assault, second-degree reckless endangerment and second- and fourth-degree conspiracy. Bien-Aime and Watson are presently being sought.
According to the charges in the indictment, the defendants conspired and acted in concert with each other between Nov. 1, 2012, and Feb. 28, 2013, to shoot two individuals whom they believed to be associated with the SNOW gang. At approximately 5 p.m. on Jan. 7, 2013, a group of EBK gang members—including Lowe, Bien-Aime, Watson, Jean-Pierre, Knowles and Stokes—allegedly confronted members of the SNOW gang in the vicinity of Jamaica Avenue and Parsons Boulevard. After an exchange of words, one of the defendants allegedly shot a suspected SNOW gang member in the right foot.
Additionally, at approximately 9:30 p.m. on that same day, Anthony Biggs, Kenneth Stokes and two other EBK gang members saw another suspected SNOW gang member at a bodega on Merrick Boulevard. One of the EBK gang members then allegedly entered the store and, pulling out a .380 pistol, fired one shot at the SNOW gang member, hitting him in the left mid-section. The victim fell to the floor and the shooter allegedly attempted to shoot him again, but the shell casing jammed inside the gun.
All of the indicted, except Stokes, face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. Stakes is facing up to 50 years.
Ronald Herron was sentenced Thursday to 12 terms of life in prison plus 105 years. The leader of the Bloods street gang, he was convicted in June 2014 on charges of racketeering, murder in aid of racketeering, narcotics trafficking, robbery and firearms offenses. Herron's division of the Bloods was active throughout New York City, primarily in the Gowanus and Wyckoff Gardens areas of Brooklyn.
"For years, Ronald Herron unleashed brutal, unrelenting violence on his community while glorifying his criminal lifestyle as a crack-dealing gangster. Today's sentence put an end to all of that, for good," U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
"Herron styled himself a rap artist, but the evidence proved that he was a murderous thug who sought power through violence, fear, and intimidation," she continued. "Let today's sentence send a message to other gang members who terrorize their own communities: We and our federal and city law enforcement partners will not tolerate such heinous criminal conduct."
In his music, Herron claimed to be a leader of the "Murderous Mad Dogs," a division of the Bloods. He also boasted online about "beating a body," a reference to beating a murder rap. His street name was "Ra Diggs."
Enhanced enforcement by the Syracuse Police Department this winter, as part of the TRUCE initiative, has led to the arrest of 20 Bricktown and Bootcamp gang members.
Syracuse TRUCE started two years ago, as a collaboration between police and community service organizations with the aim of reducing gun violence in the city.
The gang-related killing of Kendall Williams on New Year's Day pushed the TRUCE program into action this winter. The so-called trigger, meant ramped up street level enforcement in certain parts of the city and more parole and probation visits among other things.
It ended with 20 arrests of Bricktown and Bootcamp gang members, on charges ranging from murder to firearm possesion.
Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler said this stepped up enforcement is only one result of the latest TRUCE initiative meant to curb gun violence in the city.
"We know that we can't arrest our way out of this problem," Fowler said. "It's going to take a collective effort. Intervention and prevention is going to be key in this."
Fowler said arrest figures show a 50 percent drop in serious crimes following the latest TRUCE triggered initiative.
TRUCE Program Director Sheria Dixon said TRUCE is more than just a crackdown on gang members. It's the opportunity for gang members to get out, by offering them a place to belong. Community organizations work together with gang members who want to leave that life, helping them find jobs or an education. She believes it's making a difference in the community.
"I grew up in this community," Dixon said. "My parents still live in the house I was raised in. I talk to my parents and people who live in that area all the time. They feel the police presence, and they see that it's there. It's making it easier to be in the front yard and do yard work, because they know that they are going to have that police interaction and that police presence."
HARLEM — An anti-violence program that uses ex-gang members to stop shootings, and is the model for a $13 million citywide expansion of the initiative, is being revamped after allegations surfaced that employees were still active gang members, DNAinfo New York has learned.
In the wake of the revelations, several members of the group, called SNUG, which is "guns" spelled backwards, have been removed, according to the Mission Society of New York City, which runs the program.
Remaining staff members who were being retrained and "new security protocols" are being put in place, they said.
Shawanna Vaughn, a worker at the Central Harlem organization, was placed under police protection following the shooting of a former SNUG employee.
"They are hiring active gangbangers," said Vaughn, 36, who has worked at the program as a violence interrupter and hospital responder for several months. "It needs to be shut down."
Vaughn said she made an official visit to the former violence interrupter and hospital responder in Harlem Hospital on Feb. 20 after he was shot on 142nd Street and Seventh Avenue, which is in SNUG's territory.
The shooting victim believed someone at SNUG was responsible for the gunplay and had allegedly made threats that caused employees to believe that violence might erupt, according to a recorded meeting with managers of the SNUG program obtained by DNAinfo New York.
The victim had been removed from his job prior to the shooting.
The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment on the shooting.
When Vaughn went to Mission Society management with a report she made on the shooting, she claims it was swept under the rug.
"They told me to delete the report, that it never happened," said Vaughn, who fears for her safety.
When she complained to the mayor's office shortly after the shooting about what was happening at the Mission Society, Vaughn says she was fired. Several other Harlem SNUG workers have left the area out of fear for their safety, sources said.
The de Blasio administration acknowledged problems with hiring practices for the program.
"The City takes these allegations seriously and we have been meeting with Mission Society leadership to ensure appropriate hiring practices are in place and that the program is currently staffed to effectively and safely carry out its mission," said Sarah Solon, a spokeswoman for the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice.
On the recording, two SNUG supervisors acknowledged that the former employee had been shot and that they had received notification from Harlem Hospital.
"He's bringing outside in. That's the danger," one supervisor can be heard saying.
The supervisors also listened as SNUG employees described how they felt their lives were in jeopardy because of the shooting, which they say they don't know the motivation for.
"It's only a matter of time before something...really, really bad happens to someone on the team," said an individual who worked as a SNUG violence interrupter, according to the recording.
"I'm feeling like I might have to go back to my old ways," the recording captured the violence interrupter, who is also a former gang member, saying.
The same SNUG member described how female employees of the program such as Vaughn felt afraid for their lives.
"Fear is not necessarily a bad thing," a supervisor says on the recording. "We hired them for their ability to go through s--t like this."
The SNUG worker promptly corrects the supervisor.
"No, we hired them because they were supposed to be able to have credibility and be able to do mediations," said the worker. "We didn't hire them to get ready for war."
DNAinfo is withholding the names of the SNUG employees due to safety concerns. Vaughn said she was afraid, but felt she had to speak out publicly.
"The Mission Society is acting like the criminals," Vaughn said.
Under current protocols, ex-gang members being considered for jobs are interviewed by a panel that may include Health Department officials, local police, social service providers and community leaders.
Employees must take a criminal background test and undergo screening to make sure they are not actively using drugs or still involved with gangs or illegal activity.
The Mission Society declined to make President Elsie McCabe Thompson or any other staff member available for an interview or to directly respond to questions.
In a statement, McCabe Thompson acknowledged that the Mission Society had "removed several individuals" from the SNUG program and has launched a search for several new staff members.
"An internal review identified areas for improvement in the program's management and delivery of services, and noted a lapse in protocols," the statement read. "We value all of our employees and we take seriously any concerns about our model."
Robin Levine, a spokeswoman for City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, did not directly respond to questions, but said the City Council, which funded the first SNUG programs, was "proud" of its efforts and "will continue to examine strategies" to reduce gun violence.
The Mission Society receives $1,469,216 in funding from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Health and Hospitals Corporation and the Mayor's Fund, as well as private sources.
SNUG is modeled after the Ceasefire Chicago initiative where former gang members serve as "violence interrupters" to stop shootings by trying to convince gang members to go into mediation to resolve their disputes while trying to cajole them out of the gang lifestyle.
SNUG members also employ hospital responders who go to Harlem Hospital to speak with every shooting victim.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in August that he was launching a "Gun Violence Crisis Management System" to "prevent violence before it happens" that would expand the program to 14 neighborhoods with stubborn gun violence.
In addition to the Central Harlem site, the Mission Society also runs a similar program in East Harlem and The Bronx that was a part of the expansion announced by de Blasio last August.
The expansion effort began hiring staff in December and now has programs in neighborhoods from Coney Island to Long Island City's Queensbridge Houses.
City officials say studies show the model works in spite of the troubles taking place in Harlem. The revamping of the city's effort to reduce gun violence comes as the number of shooting incidents and shooting victims have increased by 11 and 10 percent respectively this year.
David Brotherton, a professor and chairman of the sociology department at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who studies gangs, said there are risks associated with the model.
"I'm sure there are some dodgy people who have a seat in both camps," Brotherton said about the ex-gang members.
He added that the model is a worthwhile alternative to heavy-handed policing, but it should only serve as a part of the solution.
"Maybe you can stop homicides for five months but all the other problems of a community" that help gangs flourish, such as poverty and elevated school dropout rates, remain the same, Brotherton said.
"These programs act as a kind of salve to the system," he added. "No one is doing anything to structurally rethink these neighborhoods."

Just when things were really on a roll for Eric Devendorf in New Zealand, with the former Syracuse University star leading his Wellington Saints to five consecutive wins, bad luck struck.
Devendorf suffered a high ankle sprain in a game Friday and will miss at least three games, according to a report from The Dominion Post
It is terrible timing for the Saints (9-4), who had won five straight games since acquiring the former Syracuse University star.
"It was devastating for us at the time, because we were on a roll, everything was going right," Mills said. "It is a major blow when your star player goes down with an injury in your home stretch."
The Saints were understandably rocked by Devendorf's injury on Friday, slumping to a 80-65 defeat, their first home loss of the season.

Not only did all 17 Douglas High School thespians qualify for state at the regional Thespian Festival in Reno on Feb. 7-8, but one of them earned the highest score out of all the competitors there.
Dalton Miller, 16, earned the top superior award with his solo musical piece, "It Takes Two," from Hairspray.
"I had no idea because there was so much talent there," he said. "It was unbelievable."
Dalton said performing a solo musical is more than just singing.
"You put movements with the song, and you actually feel the song," the sophomore said. "You sing it well and show the judges what you're made of."
Dalton also earned a superior ranking in contrasting dialogue along with Kai Stoll, and Katelin Teigan.
"I enjoy it because it lets everything out. When you act and get into character, it's a passion, and I love doing it," Dalton said of acting. "If I could act every day of this year, I would. I'm definitely going to do it when I'm a junior and senior."
The state competition is March 19-23 in Las Vegas.
To raise money to get to the competition, students are selling advertisements for the spring play "Almost Maine" the last weekend in March and first weekend in April.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Sen. John McCain's self-portrait as a bold leader willing to set politics aside to save an endangered financial bailout plan took a pounding Thursday from top Democrats and even some fellow Republicans.
His efforts to re-energize his presidential campaign will partly turn on who wins the public relations battle, destined to play out for days. Things didn't go too well for McCain on Thursday.
Top Democrats in Congress ridiculed his role after a chaotic end to a White House summit meeting that McCain had requested, and which included Democratic nominee Barack Obama. McCain's own campaign said the session "devolved into a contentious shouting match."
The campaign statement suggested Obama was at fault. But Democrats were disdainful.
"John McCain did nothing to help," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, who attended the meeting. "He only hurt the process."
Hours later, when negotiations hastily resumed in the Capitol, House Republicans refused to send a representative authorized to bargain.
"This is the president's own party," said Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, a chief Democratic negotiator. "I don't think a president has been repudiated so strongly by the congressional wing of his own party in a long time."
"We still don't know whether Sen. McCain works with them or not," he added.
Negotiations that had centered on a $700 billion plan the Bush administration presented last Saturday seemed to fall apart. An alternative plan drafted by conservative House Republicans was discussed at the White House meeting, but McCain's level of interest was unclear.
"At this moment, the plan that has been put forth by the administration does not enjoy the confidence of the American people as it will not protect ... taxpayers and will sacrifice Main Street in favor of Wall Street," the McCain campaign said in a statement. "We are still optimistic that a bipartisan solution will be found," it said.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson sped to Capitol Hill to try to revive or rework the proposal the administration says Congress must approve quickly to stave off economic disaster.
Even the House's Republican leader, John Boehner of Ohio, passed up a chance to praise McCain's leadership powers shortly before the two met in the Capitol at midday Thursday. Asked by reporters if McCain could help win House Republican votes for the proposed package, Boehner shrugged and said, "Who knows?"
Boehner later said in a statement that McCain "has a vital role to play in this process, and he has a history of working together with both parties to make things happen."
Other Republicans gave McCain more credit. "They got something done this morning only because McCain came back," said Sen. Jim DeMint, a Republican from South Carolina. DeMint later called the administration's proposal "a trillion-dollar Band-Aid that does not contain a single item that will stimulate our economy."
President Bush's biggest worry is House Republicans, many of whom are balking at his plan. Several said it was essential that both McCain and Sen. Obama back some legislative package together.
"If McCain and Obama would stand together and take this off the table" as a sharply partisan issue, then wary House Republicans might get on board, said Rep. Zach Wamp, a Republican from Tennessee.
Framing the issue in those bipartisan terms, however, complicates McCain's bid to differentiate himself from Obama on leadership issues.
In truth, McCain has faced a no-win situation for days. To support the bailout or a similar plan could put him at odds with millions of voters and many House Republicans at a time his campaign is sliding in the polls. Also, McCain has struggled to distance himself from the unpopular Bush, and embracing the administration's plan clearly would not help.
Obama has an easier path. No one will accuse him of being a Bush clone even if he ends up siding with the administration. And Democrats in general are more receptive to government regulation of powerful institutions.
McCain's other option was worse. Opposing some version of a financial rescue plan would open him to fierce accusations of walking away from a national crisis. And if a congressional impasse triggers more Wall Street catastrophes, as the administration says it would, the criticism would be still worse.
McCain's only real option was to say, "I'm the leader, I'm going to put country first," said Republican consultant John Feehery.
McCain tried to do that Wednesday. Going before TV cameras shortly before Obama did, he signaled his likely support for some version of the costly plan and urged Bush to convene a meeting including Obama. Bush did so, giving McCain and his backers a chance to claim some leadership credit, at least until the meeting ended in disarray.
"It seemed like this deal yesterday was very close to dead," McCain adviser Mike DuHaime told Fox News on Thursday. "I think you've seen tremendous progress since he made that announcement."
He noted that Reid earlier had called on McCain to take a stand on the bailout issue, only to rebuke him when he took a larger role.
McCain met separately with House and Senate Republicans in the Capitol Thursday, before the White House session. He did not attend meetings where the bailout legislation was being hashed out.
Even if McCain fully embraces a bailout package, many Republican candidates elsewhere on ballots will not go along. Rep. Ray LaHood, an Illinois Republican who is retiring, said he probably will vote for whatever plan emerges.
But the Republican running to replace him, LaHood said, "is running against it. Everyone's running against it."

PDO For WordPress – Status
I have been working on an update to PDO for WordPress. Before anyone asks, there is no ETA …
I am of the view that the queries in WP are becoming ever more complex and are relying quite a lot on implicit type casting within mysql (for example, user entered dates should always be cast to a date type before use in a comparison, but they are not). In particular this is true with date functions but the similar mysql specific problems exist elsewhere.
Yes – we could continue to hack and patch with regex and UDFs, but I question whether this is the right approach longterm.
The goal of PDO for WordPress was to open up WP to all the flavours supported by PDO, not just sqlite (although personally I never had any aim to write a driver beyond sqlite).
To this end, I believe that the right approach is now to parse each query into its constituent parts, and then to reassemble the query in the target language.
To those in the know, creating a parser that can then be used for recompiling is really not straight forward, nor a short piece of work (I have been working on the structure and starting on the select queries for some weeks now). I am also concerned that this might have an impact on performance, although in the back of my mind I am hoping that the impact might be positive.
There are mysql parsers out there. None have so far passed my tests of a few relatively complex queries being thrown at them. The best I have found is ParseCompile by Tom Schaeffer, but even this piece of comprehensive wizardry fails with my test query.
I started off trying to 'fix' the versions already out there, but as always trying to understand and follow someone else's code seems more difficult than rewriting it. So I have tried to take lessons from Mr Schaeffer and others and am building my own.
This should make it rather easier to write compiler grammars for non mysql query languages.
For those interested my test query (which I believe to be valid mysql) is:
SELECT CONCAT_WS(', ', u.lname, u.fname) AS UserName, u.email AS Email, u.mobile AS Mobile, cc.countryName AS Country, DATE_FORMAT ( FROM_UNIXTIME(u.reg_date),'%Y-%m-%d') AS JoinDate, DATE_FORMAT ( u.last_login_date, '%Y-%m-%d') AS LastLogin, u.package_id AS 'Product ID', IFNULL(ro.FPFiled,0) AS 'FP Filed', IFNULL(ro.FPDraft,0) AS 'FP Draft', IFNULL(rv.c,0) AS Validations, ifnull(r.name, 'RR') AS Reseller FROM itc_user u LEFT OUTER JOIN jaCountries cc ON u.country = cc.countryCode LEFT OUTER JOIN resellers r ON u.reseller_id = r.reseller_id LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT owner_user_id, SUM( CASE WHEN ifplid != '' AND ifplid IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS `FPFiled`, SUM( CASE WHEN ifplid = '' OR ifplid IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS `FPDraft` FROM itc_route GROUP BY owner_user_id ) AS ro ON ro.owner_user_id = u.user_id LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) AS c FROM route_validations GROUP BY user_id ) AS rv ON rv.user_id = u.user_id WHERE u.package_id = 99 AND ( IFNULL(ro.FPFiled,0) >= 1 OR IFNULL(ro.FPDraft,0) >= 3 ) ORDER BY u.lname ASC, u.fname ASC, u.reg_date ASC
If anyone has leads on a full function good quality php parser for mysql, please let me know in the comments. Similarly if anyone would like to help with the mysql parser then I'd be grateful.

Dearborn, Grosse Pointe and Birmingham are a just a few of the Metro Detroit cities that are participating in Small Business Saturday, a push to promote shopping at small businesses on Saturday, Nov. 24, the day after Black Friday.
The Chambers of Commerce from both Dearborn and Grosse Pointe are hosting activities on Saturday as part of the two-year-old promotion.
For instance, the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce is holding a "reverse cash mob," in which it will be distributing $25 American Express gift cards to customers at random small independent retailers throughout the day. There will be prize giveaways alter in the day too. Consumers can follow the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce on Twitter or Facebook to get more details.
The Birmingham Principal Shopping District is participating in the event too.
Small Business Saturday was created by the American Express credit card company in
2010 under the guise of promoting independent businesses.
President Obama made a high-profile pitch for the supposed answer to Black Friday last year, visiting an independent bookstore in Washington D.C. with his daughters.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 digital compact camera is a radical departure from the norm. How many other cameras can you think of that offer a 3.5 inch, 921,000 pixel LCD screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, MP3 player, optical image stabilisation and 2Gb of internal storage? On the other hand the Sony G1 also has some more regular features in the shape of a 6 megapixel sensor and 3x zoom lens equivalent to 38-114mm. To top it all off, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1 has a suggested retail price of £449 / £600, putting it in direct competition with an entry-level DSLR with kit lens. Is the Sony G1 worth that hefty price premium? We find out in the world's first online review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-G1.

Nice compact digital camera, too bad it's only 6MP!
I was hoping limiting the camera to 6 megapixels would help limit its
image noise, but that doesn't appear to be the case. What happened? :)
Even 6 MP is too much for such tiny sensors.
4 MP would perhaps provide much better image quality.
Okay, I'll split the difference with you, '5' megapixels, especially if you
consider the efficiencies of today's microlens arrays for collecting light.
Thank you SO much for providing the sample photos of Sony's Cybershot G1. I really want to buy it but some web comments were making me hesitate. Is there any way you could PLEASE post a small movie with normal talking on it so I can judge if the negative comments about the G1's audio are accurate? I couldn't tell from the one you posted because of the naturally high level of noise from a crowd scene. I would be so grateful if you could help me (and others) out by giving us some example(s) of audio from just talking with the movie going or even talking among two to three people? Thanks regardless, for the awesome photos. Are you happy with the G1? Donna in Texas
Donna, unfortunately I don't have the camera any more (the manufacturers' only provide us with review samples for a few weeks).
thank you, that was very helpful and thorough

Hi! I don't know what happened to my last post -- it just seemed to disappear! -- and so I am posting again, hoping that I can get some help regarding my cholesterol numbers.
I am 31, 5'6", 125 pounds. I have been on the paleo diet again after a three-month stint with a raw veggie and fish diet. I was on the paleo diet before but thought I'd experiment. While on the raw diet, I overdid it on two things: almond butter and coconut butter. I was starving for real animal protein and fat.
So, my cholesterol numbers don't look good and I'm worried. I don't eat many carbs ... just low-carb veggies. I eat eggs, mostly red meat, butter, olive oil, virgin coconut oil ... and that's about it. I've been doing bone broths to help heal my gut.
Here are the numbers:
Trig -- 45
Cholesterol -- 250
LDL, calculated -- 189
I don't know what all this means!
My Lymph number is also high: 47.3, when the average is 18-46
And my Bilirubin is also a little high: 1.6, when .3-1.2 is the norm
Any ideas? I would so appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this!!!

As someone who loves both science and history, I have to say that the compartmentalization of academia may have a lot to do with the overreaching assumptions and overgeneralization in general. History, anthropology, and science scholars stay in their incestuously tiny boxes, when a general awareness of the state of the other fields might help each stay more objective and honest. To name just one well-studied historical example, which could have informed research with WEIRD undergrads: premodern Japan, which had multiple, age-and-class-structured, genders within the male sex.
Here's a great blog post that provides a good overview:
Despite the "hyper-specialization" of our culture, as Gender is not Sex(y) has noted, cases like this make a good argument for cross-training intellectuals on other fields. Get those drama majors into physics classes, and the organic chemistry strudents into literature courses! Art needs science, and science needs art.

Fifteen members of the Niagara hockey team earned Atlantic Hockey All-Academic honors with senior Jason Beattie earning a share of the conference's Student-Athlete of the Year for posting a 4.0 or better grade-point average.
Eleven players, including Canisius freshman Stephen Miller, had GPAs of 4.0 or better during the season; thus all shared the conference's top honor for student-athletes.
To qualify for the Atlantic Hockey All-Academic Team, a player must post at least a 3.0 grade-point average in all of the academic periods during the team's playing season.
Beattie earned his bachelor's in accounting in 2012 and completed his master's this past academic year in business administration while helping the Purple Eagles reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008. He scored in Niagara's 2-1 loss in the tournament to North Dakota.
Joining Beattie on the All-Academic Team from Niagara were: seniors C.J. Chartrain, Jeff Hannan and Dan Weiss; juniors Ryan Rashid , Kevin Ryan and Matt Williams; sophomores Nick Gawron and Mike Benedict; and freshmen Matt Chartrain, Matt Dineen, Rocky Gruttadauria, Dan Kolenda, Chris Paulin and Hugo Turcotte.
Miller is the fourth Canisius player to earn Atlantic Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year, joining Max Buetow (2005-06), Dave Cianfrini (2009-10) and Ryan Bohrer (2011-12). Miller had four goals and 13 points in helping the Golden Griffins earn their first NCAA Tournament bid.
Other Griffs to earn spots on the All-Academic Team include seniors Torrey Lindsay, Ben Parker, Chris Barrea and Preston Shupe; juniors Ryan Bohrer, Kyle Gibbons, Taylor Law, Tony Capobianco and Patrick Sullivan; sophomores Cody Freeman, Matthew Grazen, Doug Jessey, Carl Larsson, Mitch McCrank, Tyler Wiseman and Braeden Rigney and freshmen Adam Harris and Chris Rumble.
