Dennis Probst, D.O.
Dr. Probst's parents still call Lock Haven home. His mother, Carol, was a long-time employee of Lock Haven Hospital.
Dr. Probst holds a degree in biology from Lock Haven University and is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his Family Practice Residency at Pinnacle Health Hospitals in Harrisburg and is board certified by American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians.
Probst served in the United States Air Force and provided primary care for active duty service personnel and their families. Prior to his return to the Lock Haven Community, Probst operated Big Fork Family Practice in Montana.
"We are excited to welcome a talented, high-quality, family physician of Dr. Probst caliber back to the Lock Haven community," said Cindy Segar-Miller, chief executive officer, Lock Haven Hospital. "The addition of Dr. Probst and Haven Family Practice fills a pivotal role in providing a broad spectrum of quality care, right here in the Lock Haven community."
No wait sick child visits
Haven Family Practice will offer parents no-wait sick child visits.
"When your child is sick, it doesn't make sense to make them wait to be seen by a doctor," said Dr. Probst. "We want to offer parents the peace of mind that they can bring their child in and actually have them be seen quickly."
Endoscopy services
Family practice physicians have to complete a rigorous three-year residency after medical school that focuses on six major areas: pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry and neurology, surgery and community medicine. Dr. Probst will also offer outpatient endoscopy/colonoscopy services at Lock Haven Hospital.
Accepting new patients
Dr. Probst and Haven Family Practice are accepting new patients. Haven Family Practice is located in the Haven Medical Arts Building, 208 E. Church St., with office hours Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 748-0590 to arrange for a convenient appointment time or for more information.

Ben Kasun's stock and trade is setting, but, if you press him enough, he might tell you how he gets his biggest thrill on the volleyball court.
"Honestly, I like getting the big spike,'' Kasun said with a mischievous grin. "I'm ready to hit the ball any time. But my first job is to get the ball to other people.''
Typifying the balance and versatility that has been serving the Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic High School boys volleyball team so well in recent weeks, Kasun piled up 28 assists but finished the match with two of his seven kills as the Marauders returned home for their first date at the Pleasant Valley gymnasium in almost a month to stop Central, 25-10, 25-17, 31-29, in Mid-State League action on Monday night.

Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec
Nick Little picks up a point for Bishop Guilfoyle with a spike past Matthew Price.
"We have the chemistry, so we're not going to let it down,'' said senior libero Nate Dorman, who had four of his six service points in the final game and finished the match with 19 digs. "Our biggest strength is our depth. We can go a good two or three guys back, and that helps when we're in a rut. We can get one sub in, change the look and go right back on the offensive.
"It's really comforting, because last year we only probably had one or two strong attacks, but, this year, it gives you the confidence if you get a pass up, someone is getting a good attack on the ball.''
Spearheaded by the play of Nick Little, TJ Jorkasky, Damon Rickens and CJ Fulare, Guilfoyle controlled things around the net, getting 19 more kills than did Central as it raised its record to 5-4 overall and moved to 4-4 in the Mid-State League.
"We're always trying to go for a balanced attack,'' Guilfoyle coach Bob Kasun said. "On any given night, it could be our middles, or it could be our outsides, or it could be our outside. At the outside, Jamey Brumbaugh, Damon Rickens and Nick Nelson are talented and all have the ability to put the ball away. But, tonight, it was the middles' turn.''
Central (0-8, 0-6 MSL) was close to forcing a fourth game, but Guilfoyle erased a 23-19 deficit to tie it at 25 on Ben Kasun's serve and then pulled it out after the teams exchanged the next eight points. Already at a disadvantage, the Scarlet Dragons were playing without starters Chris Brumbaugh and DJ Shaw.
"BG has a pretty good program and a lot of guys that get good offseason play,'' Central coach Mark Steele said. "It's definitely an advantage to have [as many guys as they have], because you can't focus in one guy just to try to harness it.''
Steele needn't feel too badly. During the Marauders' long road trip - it was two days short of a month between home matches because of a quirk in the schedule - the rotation which is almost an equal mix of seniors and sophomores has gelled.
The high point came over the weekend at the Hempfield Tournament when the Marauders stunned Maplewood, the state's fifth-ranked Class AA team, in the quarterfinals. It's the first time Guilfoyle has defeated a state-ranked opponent.
"We were pretty pumped to come back to our home gym and show how we progressed,'' Dorman said. "I think we've maintained the momentum.''
Now, with the benefit of a home-court advantage much of the rest of the regular season, the Marauders will try to keep gathering steam for a big playoff run.
"We have made a lot of strides. We are a lot farther than I ever expected this team would be,'' Ben Kasun, a sophomore, said. "I see us going far in districts and, if we get there, going far in states. We've proven what we can do.''
Match notes: Nelson fronted BG with 10 service points, while Kasun had nine. Little and Jorkasky topped the Marauders in kills with nine and eight, respectively. ... Darrin Thompson had a fine all-around match for the Scarlet Dragons with four service points, four kills, nine digs and three blocks, and Jeremy Aiello recorded 14 assists. ... Guilfoyle also won the JV match in three games. ... The Marauders return to the court on Wednesday for a showdown at Forest Hills. Central's next match is Thursday at DuBois.
CENTRAL: Thompson 4, Bennett 4, Garber 3, Price 3, Aiello 1, Link 1.
BISHOP GUILFOYLE CATHOLIC: Nelson 10, Kasun 8, Kapfhammer 6, Dorman 6, Jorkasky 5, Brumbaugh 4.
CENTRAL: Garber 6, Thompson 4, Price 2, Link 2, Aiello 2.
BISHOP GUILFOYLE CATHOLIC: Little 9, Jorkasky 8, Kasun 7, Rickens 4, Fulare 3, Brumbaugh 2, Nelson 1, Dunning 1.
CENTRAL: Thompson 3, Garber 1.
BISHOP GUILFOYLE CATHOLIC: Brumbaugh 1, Jorkasky 1, Little 1.
Team records: Central (0-8, 0-6 Mid-State League); Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic (5-4; 4-4 Mid-State League)
JV: Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic, 25-19, 16-25, 15-11. Bishop Guilfoyle improved to 4-4, while Central fell to 0-8.

1997 Oldsmobile Regency Sedan 4dr Sedan
I bought this car with 60k on the odo. It is smooth, luxurious, reliable and cuts a low profile. It cost me $3650. That is an unbelievable deal for this much car. Highlights: very good leather, much better than average American car leather. Auto-dim mirror with built in digital compass. More room than you need. Very good freeway cruiser. Lowlights: grandpa car. But that's really a highlight. Teenagers don't drive these, so they're not beat down when you buy them used. grandpas tend to have garages and change the oil and filters too. If you see a low-miles Regency used, snap it up. You'll be anonymous on the road, and you won't regret it.
Leather. Dual driver seat memory. Tri- zone climate control. Steering wheel climate and audio controls. Compass. You'll like this car.
Does not handle well. Make sure to keep the alignment perfect. Not a driver's car, unless that driver is stuck in traffic. Then it's great because it's more comfy than your living room couch.
I loved my Oldsmobile. It is sharp
looking, and very classy in the
The one drawback to my thinking is that
it doesn't have the greatest pickup
when merging.
I did have to replace a transmission,
and the replacement was faulty and had
to be replaced, but Olds stood behind
the car and I was satisfied.
Everything is handy in this car from
the center consoles with cup holders to
the overhead consoles.
Bought the car after a bad experience
with a '97 Chrylser LHS. We enjoy the
big car ride and we do a lot of road
travel. This one we rebuilt the
suspension with Monroe Reflex struts
and it made a huge difference in
handling. We get excellent gas
mileage (often in the 30mpg area)but
the power performance is only "ok."
The trunk opening is less than
desireable for a large car due to the
steeply slanted rear window. This was
a replacement for an '87 Olds 98
Touring Sedan that we loved, but there
are few similarities other than good
mileage and mechanical reliability.
We are nearing 100k miles and it still
seems very tight and few problems.
The sun roof, the combination CD/tape
stereo, and (thanks to the revised
suspenstion) good handling.
Better engine performance, go back to
the opera coupe roof for better trunk
opening and rear headroom.
More fuel effecient,comfortable to
drive on cross country trip than the
Lincoln and Caddy I have owned. I
surely miss that car.
Comfort, Memory seats ,fuel mileage 29-
30 mpg
Rear seat belts hard to use.

Isotope shortage means a healthcare crisis--------------------The radioisotope is needed to scan for heart disease and cancer. Two nuclear reactors that produce it have been shut down, severely limiting the supply, and alternatives are scant.By Thomas H. Maugh IIAugust 9 2009The abrupt shutdown of two aging nuclear reactors that produce a radioisotope widely used in medical imaging has forced physicians in the U.S. and abroad into a crisis, requiring them to postpone or cancel necessary scans for heart disease and cancer, or turn to alternative tests that are not as accurate, take longer and expose patients to higher doses of radiation.The complete article can be viewed at:http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-sci-isotope9-2009aug09,0,6453741.story

Lebbeus Woods, SLUMS: The problem (via Subtopia)
People with steady jobs and incomes, who are assured of having enough money to go to school, to the doctor or clinic; who can save some money, buy enough food and clothing to last a while; who can plan for the future; all too often coast along without thinking very much or having to fall back on their resourcefulness. But there is no coasting for the slum dweller. Everything is now, today, and each day is a new struggle for survival. The gains made yesterday were maybe enough, but they were consumed yesterday. Nothing carries over, except the needs. Slum dwellers share something with people caught in a war zone, where the infrastructure of society has been interrupted or destroyed. They have to scrounge and improvise, just to have the basics pf shelter, food, heat. To survive, they have to be inventive. But the people in the war zone can look forward to the end of war, the restoration of society and its services. The slum dwellers have no such prospect. For them the war, its brutalities and atmosphere of cruelty and indifference to human life, never ends.
There is much that is admirable in the way that slum dwellers struggle against overwhelming adversity, but admiration must be tempered by the realization that they do not struggle because they choose to, out of principle, or in the service of high social or political ideals, but because of their desperation at the brutal limits of survival. It is a mistake—and a grave disservice to them—to imagine that their ingenuity, resourcefulness, and capacities for self-organization can in any way serve as models for our present global society. To believe so would be to endorse the dog-eat-dog ethics that rule their lives and, all too often, those occupying society's more economically advantaged classes.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clinton Township officials have long fought about fulfilling the town's state-imposed affordable housing obligation, both among themselves and against the state Council on Affordable Housing. The municipality even leads a 20-town suit against COAH, as the state agency is commonly called.
But, this week, the township council finalized a plan to create the affordable housing units required by the state.
The plan calls for 151 homes to be built on the former Windy Acres property. Technically, it will be "municipally sponsored" housing, but officials are working with developer Conifer. Township administrator Marvin Joss said Conifer will likely buy the land, build the townhouse-style homes and then manage the community.
The township council officially adopted the plan Wednesday — even as the town awaits the result of its lawsuit against COAH and while the state legislature considers a bill that could abolish that agency, Joss said.
The deadline for municipalities to submit plans to COAH is June 8. Joss estimated the township has spent nearly $70,000 preparing the plan, which will fulfill its affordable housing obligation for both the second and third round of mandates.
Clinton Township's lawsuit contends that the most recent, or third round, requirements from COAH are unreasonable because they are based on outdated studies of projected growth. Other similar suits, including one filed by the League of Municipalities, are also pending in the courts.
"How can you say, 'Because they grew like wildfire in the '90s, they're going to grow that fast in 2010'?" Joss asked.
Development has practically halted in the township, he said, with most large parcels of land already bought up for housing or preserved as open space. The strict building regulations of the Highlands Act will limit development even further.
The municipality has chosen to "opt in" to the Highlands rules, and that means it can use the Highlands Council's projected growth numbers, which are far lower than COAH's.
Under COAH, the township would have had to build more than 300 housing units, while using the Highlands numbers, it has to build 151.
The slowing pace of construction in recent years doesn't only affect how much future development the township is expecting. It has also affected how much money the township has to fund affordable housing.
Towns aren't allowed to use taxpayer dollars to pay for low- and moderate-income homes; they can only use money from their affordable housing trust funds, according to the Fair Housing Act, and that money comes from fees developers pay when they build projects in town.
So, in the case that Clinton Township doesn't receive any grant funding to cover the shortfall between the cost of building the Windy Acres homes and the revenue generated by their sale or rent, which is below market rate, the town is legally responsible to pay for that shortfall, but only with money from the affordable housing trust fund.
The township currently has $150,000 in that account, according to Mayor Kevin Cimei, who opposes putting all the town's COAH units at Windy Acres.
But that has been Clinton Township's plan for many years, said Joss, who said past council members, as well as the slowed rate of development, were to blame for "putting all of our eggs in one basket."

If youre looking for boating variety, then consider a fest that will show off craft priced from $14,000 to $1.3 million.
The event is the Hall Marine Charleston Boat Show and Sale. The in-water show, in its 11th year, runs today through Sunday at Charleston Harbor Marina near Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant.
It looks like a good week, said Jim McClellan, general manager of the Daniel Island-based boat dealership. Neither the USC or Clemson football teams are playing at home. Thats why we picked this weekend, he said.
The show and sale typically attract 800 to 1,000 boat enthusiasts.
Hall Marine Charleston, formerly known as Sea Ray Scout of Charleston, plans to display 23 boats for sale. The top-priced vessel is 54-foot 2011 Sea Ray Sundancer priced at $1.3 million. Powered by two 750 horsepower MerCruiser engines built in the Lowcountry, the yacht has two staterooms, washer and dryer, five televisions and satellite connections.
Also at the show:
At least two Bennington pontoon boats will be in the water. The painted, flat-bottom boats are popular with Lake Moultrie water enthusiasts among others.
Five or more Scout boats will be for sale: the brand just held an open house here last week.
Four Boston Whalers will be displayed, including a new 23-footer that showcases fishing rod holders, places to hitch up or store wake boards, even a pop-upseat in the front. I call it a boat utility, he said, a play on sport-utility vehicle.
The two Meridian yachts include a $470,000 vessel with a ships bridge to leave more room below deck.
A half-dozen or more Sea Rays will be available in addition to the 54-footer.
Parking and admission is free. Hours are noon to 6 p.m. today and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call 843-747-1889 or visit www.hallmarine.com.
Reach Jim Parker at 937-5542 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jim McClellan, general manager of Hall Marine Charleston, is prepaing for the 11th annual boat show and sale today through Sunday at charleston Harbor Marina. More than 20 boats from 17-54 feet will be on hand ( Leroy Burnell/postandcourier.com 9/27/2012 )×

Being able to say and do what I want, when I want, where I want, because I want, when I chose to and not, and to respect others' right to do the same......I really respect the right of expression. So, THAT said...I would like to share something I said.....it has to do with censorship..........on the Love to be Naked tribe....
Okay.....I am here, for a moment....and strangely - well, maybe normal for mwa, saw what I needed, and have something to say.........
First, I apologize for my absence. But I am also thankful for it. You might be too?
If you were at all attracted to this place because of its nature, its natural and almost archaic seed of conception....the bare reality of freedom; a true expression of self, truly acting upon the statement, "I don't dance on command!" and "Don't stop me from being me!" ....the raw feeling of true nudity, this tribe was created out of an instantaneous and truly harmonious knee jerk reaction to a spontaneously hilarious idea that the world could actually have a place where humans could be themselves, and be who they are no matter WHAT, no matter WHO, no matter how. Tribe had announced a censorship issue that pissed me off. I have been pissed off before, and I have been pissed off since. But, this issue of censorship seems to find a way to continually piss me off. Well, I decide to piss on it. Piss on it every chance I find the need to. Piss on it just to piss on it.
So, thank you tmoss, I hope I did as you requested, please correct me if I was wrong. I do not believe in censorship. I will not remove or discourage conversations of any nature. For this, I will never apologize.
Funny. How the things in life that you are perhaps supposed to be paying attention to find there way to you no matter the blinders you choose to wear. As I was blindly navigating my way through my existence as of late, really just making sure there is food on the table each day and gas in the honda damn combustion fuck up, oh, and that the person who signs my paycheck gets theirs at my expense….oh, sorry, I not only said potty mouth words, I am venting….BUT……..explicative explicatvie explicative……, the issue of censorship hit me upside the head a few too many times. Hello Kymber, Pay the fuck attention to THIS…….
Anyway….I do say, I am sorry for not paying attention. However, I probably would only have had instigating things to say, and nothing to delete, like some moderators do, or some others threat……and maybe some would like that and some not…..but that IS a part of the naked truth…being who you are, and accepting that others may not agree with you, and being that way anyway., because it is how you are, what you believe, your naked reality.
I only came here today because of a personal invitation to delete a comment made by the person requesting the deletion, who was the person who made the comment. I believe that kind of censorship to be TOTALLY appropriate. While browsing to find what that person meant, the thread that caught my eye was a post by "unsub-"suspicious"scribed," the way to christ…..so, with curiousity, I entered.
I only spent about two seconds scrolling to catch the gist of the conversation. I was AMAZINGLY proud of this tribe. I LOVE ALL OF YOU. I also read, loud and clear, "WHERE IS THE MODERATOR OF THIS TRIBE?…"
I believe I did what I would have done had I seen this post on its first day. This tribe is about the freedom of expression. I believe it is also about belonging to a group of like-minded individuals who also believe in this same freedom of expression, those who love the naked truth, despite its reality.
So, I believe that it is okay for some freak to post some completely off topic thread, for their own delight, anywhere, anytime. It is a hell of a lot better than getting that all invasive telephone call at your home during family time trying to sell you something you don't really need, or ask you questions you don't have the time or patience to answer, or he forever determined johovas witness who knock on your door EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND because you are too nice to say, "Go the fuck away you invasive god damn freak!"
I am so proud of all of you for how you handled this goofball.
*By the way, notice, I spent two seconds to find this out, so I obviously did not get to read in detail everything, but I was roflmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At what I did read…and I promise to take some time to read more!
Anyway. The last time I took time out to get involved with any so called "drama" on tribe had to do with this censorship issue, AGAIN and, did not happen that long ago, hence maybe why this long ass novel…….
The conversation did have a lot to do with the question as to whether someone just has the right to post off topic threads….for instance, on a tribe dedicated to the love of music and the community supporting it, does a member, ***AND THIS IS THE IRONY OF THE CONVERSATION I AM TALKING ABOUT**** does a member, not the moderator, and then of course it went to, should the moderator, have the "right"…to delete threads that are "off topic".
Anyway. My stance now and forever, and THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FOOTNOTE……is that anyone should be able to say whatever they want wherever they want. It is up to the COMMUNITY to accept or change the outcome of that interaction. The community can embrace the conversation, or the community can kick that fucking asshole right off the playing field. You can engage in that dinnertime conversation, or you can hang up, or refuse to take the call altogether. …..your response…..
God job.
****For those of you with delicate ear, I appologize for the potty mouth. I really do have other words to use, but sometimes it just feels so darn good to say those nasty words that it is worth making the appology, and even worth it sometimes if it is not accepted. I do keep that in check, being the mom that I am, and, as a matter of fact, I actually shared all of this with my 12 year old while she was entertaining my 18 month old so I can get this SHIT off my chest, and she said it was not that bad….ha ha ha.
But, this is where I can freely express myself, so, are you glad I was silent or no?
P.S. I really do believe that when you can take the time to express yourself with your fingers, you have the reflection time to make sure you use the most appropriate words to express your feelings. I don't use words with my fingers that are offensive to ones ears on the norm, but, of course, here I can be naked, and explain to my children that there are rough spots that maybe they won't want to touch, but they are what make me who I am, and they must love me for who I am, not who they wish I would be.
My kids are so great!
Anyway, namaste,
okay, I am off my soap box...no mas en el cajon de la jobon de mio? * I obviously need lessons.....

Prison zoning to be regulated in Loyalsock Township
August 14, 2013
Loyalsock Township's board of supervisors is close to making a zoning change that will regulate where a prison may be built, if one were to be proposed for the municipality....
Wes- 1. Gabe is not looking for a place to build a prison, the county is. 2. A very small portion of Lycoming Creek Rd is in Loyalsock Twp. 3. I believe the proposed new prison site is the area of the county farm. Those who live on Stopper Dr are trying to have some sort of control over how close said new prison can be built to their homes.

Loyalsock Twp should have its own Police Force. Trying to relate PSP covering Loyalsock to City Police and Williamsport is out there. Look at the population make up of Loyalsock compared to Williamsport. Loyalsock is loving the fact they do not have to pony up for Police services and can continue to bring in the big tax dollars and fill their coffers. With the "Golden Strip" business district and all the work that comes from there concerning thefts and such, a dedicated Loyalsock Twp Police force should be started to take care of that and all the coverage area they have.

Perhaps no one understand my initial comment. Gabriel Campana is looking for a place to build a $40M prison, now all the sudden Loyalsock is changing an ordinance that prevents a prison in their township? LIke I said, prelude to $40M Prison. Lycoming Creek Road is technically outside of the city. Get ready Loyalsock, you're about to get a whole lot of trash dumped into your lap.

Well, I wasn't suggesting that causation. Rather, lower crime and faster clearance of existing crime is desirable for everyone in the state, so why not put the cost and the allocation of who patrols where in the hands of the state?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Perhaps the best thing would be for the state police to patrol all municipalities, including Loyalsock Township and City of Williamsport, disbanding all local forces.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Why fix something that isn't broke? Until the time comes that the state police can't control crime in the township, why have a separate force? In other states the township would be under the jurisdiction of the sheriff's department.

btw, before anyone starts complaining about my sarcasm, I am a township resident/taxpayer. It just feels like you can pick up the newspaper at any time and it's on a reel that beats the same issues over and over.

You got it, radioactive. God forbid the Loyalsock Township residents would have to pony up $$ for a police force!! Better micromanage the birds that fly over there as well!

1. Farm 24 man stormy pohwaran and after you get a good weapon of your class and a bopae set you move one.
2. Farm 24 man Dark port bloodshark with the exactly same goal as the above + some new accessories.
3. Do pvp dailies and more pve dailies for the black stone to trade for your weapon with NPC and extract it for iron coins.
4. Spiral Labyrinth which I have not attempted yet because it was too hard and the koreans were asking me to pay 2000G per round just to be in their group and they will carry me.
5. Tower of Mushin 8th floor (I couldn't even get pass the 5th floor because my gears were very bad at that time).
Right now I'm at stage 2 and 3 so I just keep farming for a better weapon and trying to complete Haemoojin's bopae set.

As RIM Goes, so Does Canada's Electronics-Manufacturing Sector
By Ben Dummett
As if BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. didn't have enough pressure.
RIM is counting on a slate a new smartphones to revive its sagging fortunes and restore its relevance in the fast-growing and hyper-competitive global mobile computing market. If that wasn't enough, the fortunes of Canada's entire electronics-manufacturing industry also depend on a RIM turnaround, according to a report from the Conference Board of Canada and the Business Development Bank of Canada.
The sector certainly needs a boost.
Total profits last year plummeted to 264 million Canadian dollars ($260.1 million) – a nine-year low – from more than C$2 billion in 2011, coinciding with a relatively weak global economy and RIM's decline versus rivals Apple Samsung Electronics and others. Production in the Canadian computer and electronic product manufacturing sector fell 7% last year, and the industry has shed more than 23,000 jobs since 2011, according to the report.
How RIM's new smartphones will ultimately fare still isn't known. But the early response is encouraging enough for the Conference Board to forecast that profits for Canada's computer and electronic product and manufacturing industry will rebound this year to C$846 million, more than triple last year's level.
"Early sales and response for the new Blackberry puts the industry on track to achieve our 2013 forecast," Michael Burt, the Conference Board's director of industrial economic trends, said in a release. And "longer term, the performance of Blackberry will shape the industry as a whole," he projected.
Modest price increases and lower costs in the sector are also expected to contribute to the industry's expected profit rebound, the study said.
Based on 2011 revenues, RIM is the largest company in Canada's computer and electronics products industry, followed by Celestica, an electronics- manufacturing services company, and IBM Canada, a unit of technology giant International Business Machines, the report said.

ZoomInfo Public API Termination
ZoomInfo will be ceasing support of the Mashery Public API platform that you currently utilize and will terminate the service by end of year. ZoomInfo has determined that the program is not consistent with its business model, and that the reduced data set the platform provides access to misrepresents the breadth and depth of Zoom's company and people information.
ZoomInfo does provide its revenue generating partners with a REST Partner API with full access to the ZoomInfo data set and without a pre-defined daily usage limit. However, with the termination of the Mashery platform, ZoomInfo will no longer be providing access to its data set at no cost.
Should you want to learn more about ZoomInfo's formal partner program, please click here, enter your information, and a member of the ZoomInfo business development team will contact you to discuss your requirements.
Thank you,
The ZoomInfo Team
Paging for Faster Performance
Paging exists in the API and isn't documented. There are undocumented paging parameters 'page' and 'rpp' for the company detail, person detail and company competitor queries. The 'page' parameter stands for the page offset, with 1 for the first page, 2 for the second and so forth. The 'rpp' parameter stands for requests per page.
A typical scenario is to page 10 results at a time. The request parameters would look something like this:
&page=1&rpp=10 for the first ten results 1 - 10
&page=2&rpp=10 for the next ten results 11 - 20
Most end users only can digest 10 - 20 results visually at a time, so requesting more isn't helping them out and in fact is slowing down how long they wait to get results.
So, some of you are probably asking, why is this important? Three reasons. The first is that it really improves the user experience--fewer results means much snappier response times. The second is that it really decreases the load on our servers and that makes us happy ;) The third is that once everybody gets in the habit of paging, we can increase the number of results that can be paged.
Feel free to follow up with comments in the forum.
Easy To Get Started
Shortly after taking on the API I realized how difficult it was to authenticate. The point of the API is ... well .. to make all of our great work available to support your efforts to build great applications.
And the API should be easy to use.
So, we made it easier to authenticate. You only need to provide your key via the pc parameter.
Looking to shine?
and while you are coding and mashing up all kinds of cool things – don't forget.. post your comments and questions!
Show off your <body>
As you put your mind and this API to work you could be stylin' – well at least the first 100 of you that post a comment– as you rock the latest in ZoomInfo T-Shirts.
Just for being one of the first 100 to try out our API and post a comment, question or any feedback we will send you a free <body> t-shirt </body>, you will be the envy of all your friends – well that is unless they have one and you don't!
So once you post something you will get an email from us asking for your address – not to stalk you – just so we can send your shirt over to you.
Take a look at the shirts!
You know you want one...
What's new?
What's new? It's been a little over a month now, since we launched the new API and we've heard from several of you already, but we'd love to hear more about killer applications you're building with the API -- so post a comment and let us know.
We do want to make this information as useful for you as possible – so your feedback in invaluable to us as we grow and constantly improve this site.
Although the API has been up and running you may have noticed we have been making slight changes to the XML data being returned to you, now all of our changes are complete… well sort of…
You may have also noticed the Company_competitors not working – the call is failing due to authentication issues. Check out the forum for more details on what you can do to use this call while we work on a patch release.
We want this resource center to cater to your needs -- so please share both your challenges and successes, and let us know if there are specific topics you'd like us to address!
So, happy coding and stay tuned for more…
It's here... the ZoomInfo Public API!
Many of you have been patiently waiting to integrate ZoomInfo data and search capabilities into your existing applications and sites, or to create new cool mashups with other existing APIs.
Well, your chance is finally here…
Let's start with some basics… (For those of you that don't already know.)
Who Are We?
ZoomInfo is a business information search engine with information on people and companies. Our database contains more than 37 million people and 3.5 million company profiles. You can use ZoomInfo for quick and easy access to in-depth information on industries, companies, people, products, services and jobs.
How Do We Do It?
Magic fairy dust that we manufacture right here in our own offices. Well…kind of. Our magic fairy dust is our semantic search engine, which employs Natural Language Processing and advanced algorithms. ZoomInfo crawls a specific portion of the internet that we call the Business Web - the millions of company websites, news feeds and other online sources -- identifies information on people, companies, products, services and industries and then organize this information into fresh, comprehensive, objective and easy-to-read profiles on a daily basis.
What the API does?
We created our API to give users access to ZoomInfo data in way that is easy to integrate into any application or website. Using our REST-based API, you are able to receive data to support, enhance, and find the descriptions of any company, business professional, and more. Your only limit is your imagination…and of course making sure you follow our Terms of Service and Branding Requirements. You can check out what some others, like Compete, Amazon A9 and Xing, have done with the beta version of this API in our Application Gallery.
Have Suggestions?
This is just the beginning for the ZoomInfo API. Over the following months, we will be rolling out updates and additions to the type of data and search capabilities that are available in the API.
But more importantly, we want to hear what you want. If you have any suggestions, questions, or comments go to our Forum and we will respond ASAP.
Getting Started…
You can sign up and get access to what you need right now.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
A large proportion of pharmacologically relevant targets are located on the surface of cell membranes. In addition, many compounds capable of modulating cellular responses do so by directly binding to native cellular proteins on the surface of the cell. The higher the affinity that a compound or antibody has for its target, the more effective it will be at triggering the desired response at a physiologically relevant concentration.
It is, therefore, not surprising that assays investigating the interaction of potential drugs with their targets are of particular interest to the pharmaceutical industry.
Several approaches exist to measure binding between a drug compound and its target. These include ELISA, Western blot, isothermal titration calorimetry, KinExa, and flow cytometry. However, these techniques often involve radioisotope or fluorescent labeling. Such labels may inhibit the antibody-target interaction in vitro and would not be used in vivo, limiting the biological relevance of results produced using this sort of approach.
In addition, many of these equilibrium techniques lack the temporal resolution required to facilitate accurate kinetic binding analysis, while another option, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), has only been able to work with purified receptors and membrane fractions.
To address these limitations, SAW Instruments has developed the sam family of biosensor solutions for detecting and displaying biomolecular interactions in real-time. The systems use an innovative approach based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology, whereby an aqueous sample is guided over a proprietary sensor chip that converts a high-frequency signal into a SAW via the inverse piezoelectric effect.
The phase and amplitude of the resulting SAWs are sensitive to changes in mass loading and liquid viscosity respectively, allowing biomolecular interactions at the chip's surface to be detected with a high level of sensitivity.
The great advantage of the SAW method is that it provides real-time data rather than relying on equilibrium-based models. This allows rapid analysis and accurate kinetic information to be captured. The system can also be used to study living cells, vesicles, antibodies, enzymes, and even LMW compounds (< 200Da in size) without the need for labeling. Molecular conformational changes, such as those that occur when a ligand binds to its target active site, can also be detected using SAW technology.
Recently, researchers at SAW Instruments and Affimed Therapeutics collaborated to investigate the interaction between a therapeutic (bispecific) antibody fragment and its specific tumor cell surface target in a live cell-based assay (Figure 1). This is an early example where real-time kinetics data has been generated to describe the binding of a label-free therapeutic antibody to cancer cells.
In order to study the binding of the Affimed TandAb (bispecific antibody) ligand to its target antigen on tumor cells, the ligand was first incubated in 10 mM acetate buffer (pH 5) and immobilized on the surface of a sam short-chain CMDextran (2-D surface) sensor chip to form the cell capture surface. Human IgG mix, at a concentration of 150 nM, was also immobilized on the same chip and used as a reference position. The sensor chips and fluidic cells use state-of-the-art microfluidics, allowing one chip to house multiple sensor elements. Using this approach, a concentration analysis can be performed and an accurate affinity constant (KD) calculated.
Freshly cultured tumor cells in suspension, positive for the antigen of interest, were injected directly from the autosampler at a concentration of 10,000 cells per mL in phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS, pH 7.4) and immobilized on the capture surfaces. The interactions between the TandAb ligand (at different concentrations between 5–40 nM) and the antigens on the surface of the immobilized cells were measured via repeated cycles of injections. SAW phase changes were recorded and used to generate binding data based on a 1:1 binding model (Figure 2).
As the data shows, increases in binding were observed as the concentration of the ligand was increased, as would be expected. Figure 2 also includes the raw association and dissociation kinetics of ligand binding, as well as the binding curve observed when using the ligand at the median concentration of 15 nM.
Using the data generated by the concentration analysis, a plot of observed rate constant (kobs) versus concentration (nM) was constructed (Figure 3). The data exhibited a linear trend, allowing the researchers to determine the association rate constant (kon) and dissociation rate constant (koff) for the ligand/target interaction.
These figures were then used to calculate the KD value for the on-cell interaction, which in this case was KD = 2 nM. This result was independently confirmed using laborious flow cytometric analysis that can only resolve steady-state KD. This work, along with other customer projects conducted by SAW Instruments, shows that the sam biosensor can accurately measure on-cell affinity constants over a large spread of concentrations, including those in the low nM to high pM ranges.
After each concentration measurement experiment, the surface of the chip was regenerated using a 10 mM glycine regeneration buffer (pH 2.0). This strips the bound cells from the immobilized ligands on the chip's surface without affecting the capture ligands themselves, thereby allowing the chip to be reused for another round of analysis using a fresh cell suspension sample.
The data presented here illustrate that real-time, label-free kinetic binding analysis on whole viable mammalian cells produces reliable KD values. The rapid speed (minutes rather than hours) of the assay is key, as the use of freshly cultured, unfixed cells allows the analysis to be performed before any internalization of receptors can take place.
The results obtained during this study have also been confirmed using more traditional methods (e.g., FACS analysis), suggesting the system is robust and accurate enough for widespread adoption. Such studies can be conducted using suspension cells, such as in the capture assay described, or using adherent cells, which can be cultured and grown directly on the sensor chip surfaces.
The SAW approach using cells could now facilitate new studies exploring the following:
The latest addition to the sam family, the samX, advances the cell-based workflow a step further by having two independent sensor chip positions, instead of one, providing eight sensor elements that can be individually addressed via the fluidics and which facilitates on-chip immobilization. This expands the workflow options available for increased power, flexibility, and throughput.
The new product also makes it possible to inject a different concentration of ligand into each sensor element position of the chip. This allows cells to be captured or adhered in all positions, meaning that each sensor element position can represent a unique ligand concentration. By increasing the flexibility offered, these factors make samX the ideal platform for performing rapid, real-time, cell-based binding analyses.

Going green can be as simple as turning off a light, but to actually make an impact on the environment, communities need to make big changes. For the sixth year in a row, the Young Adult Environmental Leadership Program has helped teenagers learn to become real environmental change leaders.
This year teams from Nichols, Pembroke, Charter School for Applied Technologies, Tonawanda, Mount Mercy Academy and Upward Bound came to the program hosted by Sustainable Earth Solutions that was held last Friday and Saturday at Rich Products on Niagara Street.
With the help of an adviser and a professional facilitator from the International Center for Studies in Creativity, the students set out to address environmental issues at their schools.
One of the main skills the program teaches is creative thinking. Program coordinator Dave Bauer, a self-proclaimed "earth nerd" who taught at Alden High School for 34 years, said, "Creativity isn't something that schools teach well -- they don't expose novel thinking to students."
To solve this problem while helping young people reach their potential, Bauer created the YAELP.
Bauer, president of Sustainable Earth Solutions, told the teams that there are five qualities of a change leader: perseverance, creativity, heart-centeredness, psychological insight and intellect. No one is strong in all five qualities, which is why one person can't work by themselves, he said, adding that everyone can find their niche as a team member and become an agent of change.
When the teams began working together, they covered the walls with Post-it Notes and kept their minds and hands busy with toys and Play-Doh, since it is believed that playing with something in your hands while brainstorming and problem-solving can help open the mind to new ideas. Some teachers have even tried bringing it into the classroom. The teams seemed to enjoy it.
This year they tried something new by putting the Pembroke and Nichols teams in the same room and seeing what could come out of it. Although they had different projects, (Pembroke is trying to get a wind turbine, and Nichols wants to create a green space), they decided to work together. The result: One team's compost would be given in exchange for another's seedlings. This synergy between teams showed that it isn't a competition to see who can have the most success -- everyone is working toward the same goal of helping the environment.
At the end of the day Saturday, the teams presented their projects to each other. Projects included creating an environmental vibe in the courtyard at Tonawanda, a rain garden to stop polluted run-off water at CSAT, a garden at Mount Mercy and a recycling program for Upward Bound. Some challenges they will face are getting people to be enthusiastic about the projects at their schools, approval and funding. To help solve these problems, all the students gave feedback to each other.
The teams face more hard work in the future, and spreading the word through advocacy is going to be one of their most important steps. If the teams meet certain requirements after eight weeks, they will receive $500 to continue with their projects.
The projects they're working on are just the first step. With Bauer telling them, "You have more power than you know," the students are better prepared to lead the world into a new green age.

What do Neil Young and Mark Twain have in common?
Reports of their deaths were exaggerations.
But Neil Armstrong, an authentic American hero who set foot on the moon in 1969 when Michael Jackson was a mere earthwalking lad of 10, died Saturday at age 82.
In writing the headline announcing Armstrong's death, someone at NBC must have had his or her mind on celestial music. Very much alive at 66, Canadian Neil Young is one of the great musical talents of the last half century.
Any journalist who's been around the business long enough has witnessed and likely participated in some memorable blunders (yes, that includes Punditty). But getting two distinctly different celebrities mixed up when announcing a death is, at the very least, announcing news before it ever happens.
Young, who is scheduled to play at this year's Farm Aid Sept. 22 in Hershey, Pa., has more company than just the author of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" on the list of celebrities reported gone before their time.
The list is so long, in fact, that Wikipedia has an entry for "List of premature obituaries."
Young joins such other musicians as Fats Domino, Paul McCartney and Lou Reed – all of whom are still among the living – on the Wikipedia entry.
Armstrong died at 82, after suffering complications from heart surgery, according a statement released by his family. "We are heartbroken to share the news that Neil Armstrong has passed away following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures," the statement read.
It went on to say that Armstrong was "a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job. He served his Nation proudly, as a navy fighter pilot, test pilot, and astronaut. He also found success back home in his native Ohio in business and academia, and became a community leader in Cincinnati."
The full statement can be found here on the NASA website.

This special issue will explore works of contemporary poetic experiment and the conditions within which they are produced.
We are interested in research and criticism into the relationship between formal innovation and political claims. Should one make political claims at all for formally motivated poetry? Much of this work professes to destabilize naturalized ideological forms, creating previously unarticulated spaces within larger dominant discourses. What can we make of these claims? Does such experimentation merely carry out the brainwork of late capitalism / neoliberalism? Do formal innovations in poetics advance the work of capitalism – 1980s disjunction becomes contemporary media streams, the "open" text becomes the digital "hot" link, 1960s poets' lower-case "i" becomes the iPod/iPhone.
Concerns about the implications of formal experimentation are varied. Narrowing their critique to the term and the concept of the avant-garde, Pauline Butling and Susan Rudy argue that the avant-garde privileges young white male artists and "enacts progressive narratives of modernisms / capitalisms (Writing in Our Time: Canada's Radical Poetries in English (2006)). In "Letters to Poets," Jacket 31 (2006), the late Leslie Scalapino critiques the assumption that "the elimination of expressivity" is a sound definition for contemporary avant-garde work. She argues that such a conclusion excludes "feminist and Black art" and pushes "formalism to the point of a totalitarian construct." Stephanie Young and Juliana Spahr address similar concerns in noulipian Analects (2009), questioning the gender politics of constraint poetics within the experimental Oulipo tradition of Anglophone writers.
Consider these discussions and the questions they raise. What constitutes an avant-garde, experimental or radical poetic? Can poetic innovation make any claim toward political activism? Are the terms currently in use (avant-garde, experimental, radical, conceptual) meaningful? Are some more fitting than others and how might these terms work with (or against) postcolonial, aboriginal, feminist, queer, communist, anarchist, or posthuman concerns? If the experimental is so easily plugged into the agendas of late capitalism (from i to iPod), might it be better, as Alan Badiou claims, "to do nothing . . . [rather than] contribute to the invention of formal ways of rendering visible that which the Empire already recognizes as existent" ("15 theses on contemporary art" Lacanian Ink 23. 2004)? Or not?
The focus of these discussions can include digital/screen poetics; popular forms like hiphop or other "insurgent" music like punk/indie/heavy metal; spoken word/oral.
NOTE: As this edition is dedicated to the study of structurally innovative texts, submissions that challenge the boundaries of the conventional paper will be considered as well as those taking more standard approaches.
Cover letters should indicate that the article is to be considered for this special issue.

Fulton, NY -- Oswego County BOCES no longer will use the time out room at the Fourth Street School in Fulton after a parent complained to the state about potential safety concerns in the room.
BOCES' decision follows an unannounced visit April 25 to the site by a state Education Department representative after the state heard from the parent.
An April 26 state Education letter to BOCES Superintendent Joseph Camerino said a review of the time out room found the physical space did not provide a way for teachers to see and hear the student in the room. The room also is not big enough to allow the student to move about and recline comfortably, Irene Buchan, of the Education Department, said in her letter to Camerino.
Buchan, who reviewed the room, also found it "was not free of objects and fixtures that could be potentially dangerous to a student," noting two small pipes were sticking out of the wall. She also said lighting was inadequate and the wall and floor coverings were not designed to prevent injury.
Tom Dunn, speaking for the state Education Department, said BOCES has discontinued using the time out room and "is looking into becoming compliant."
BOCES has been told to submit its policy and procedure on the use of time out rooms to the state.
Camerino, in a prepared statement, said BOCES has closed the Fulton time out room and those at the Mexico BOCES campus "to review the utilization of those rooms to again make sure that we are in compliance with the regulations governing their use."
He also said BOCES' "first and foremost priority is the safety of our students." He said BOCES officials will review what needs to be done to make the rooms safe and that the rooms comply with all regulations.
The state Education Department allows the use of time out rooms for students who are out of control and need to go somewhere to calm down. Regulations state this is for the safety of the student, other students and staff.
A time out room also must be used "in conjunction with a behavioral intervention plan" for the student, the regulations say.

Monday's Erie region forecast: High near 78, chance of storms
Temperatures could climb near 78 degrees, but showers and thunderstorms could put a damper on the summerlike day.
The National Weather Service in Cleveland is predicting a 60 percent chance of precipitation during the day and a 40 percent chance at night when temperatures could fall to about 62 degrees.
Temperatures could climb into the 80s Tuesday, topping out near 81. But the chance of storms once again lingers in the forecast. Tuesday night's low will be around 60.
Wednesday should be a bit more mild, according to the weather service, with a high near 67 and a low near 50.

FOXBOROUGH – New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes returned to practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday's joint session with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for undisclosed reasons.
Tight end Daniel Fells, defensive linemen Jermaine Cunningham and Armond Armstead, wide receiver Mark Harrison and tight end Rob Gronkowski did not participate. Offensive linemen Marcus Cannon, Kevin Haslam, Tyronne Geen and Dan Connolly and cornerbacks Alfonzo Dennard and Ras-I Dowling dressed but did not participate.
The big story of the day was Tom Brady's knee injury, which, as it turns out, wasn't as big of a deal as it initially appeared. Brady is believed to have a sprain and is considered day-to-day. Before exiting the field, he completed 8 of 9 passes during 11-on-11 drills, including three completions after suffering the initial blow.
Tim Tebow threw a couple really good passes after Brady went out, including a deep touchdown pass to wide receiver Julian Edelman and a dart over the middle to Kenbrell Thompkins. Edelman has looked good since coming back from a foot injury, but it appears that he's still lacking a little bit of his usual explosiveness.
Ryan Mallett completed about half of his passes with an interception.
Not a bad day for the defensive backs. After a down day, Aqib Talib bounced back and fared well against the Buccaneers receivers, and recorded an interception. Logan Ryan and Marquice Cole also had interceptions. Steve Gregory dropped an interception. Ryan could have added another interception in one-on-ones, but he never located the ball until it hit him in the chest.
Not the best day for Ryan Allen in the punter battle. He had a punt blocked and appeared to pale next to Zoltan Mesko. Mesko, however, had a fumbled snap. It was unclear if it was the result of a poor snap or buttery fingers on Mesko's end.

I live in a small town. I wasn't born in a small town as John Cougar Mellencamp croons, but I got to one as soon as I could.
It's a town where everybody knows your name, and everybody at the local diner cries "NORM!" when you walk in…just like the show, Cheers.
When the temperature isn't 18 below zero, and we're not covered in five feet of snow, something magical happens in this small town. Something completely random and delightful.
A wandering minstrel appears.
Huh? Yeah. A dude strolls about small-town-main-street USA strumming an acoustic guitar while singing.
What's so magical about that? I mean…the guy is average age, average height, average weight. But what he does is magic, man. Why? Because he's a self-propelling joy machine. And that joy is infectious.
I've never heard him play. Seems I'm always spotting our small town minstrel while I'm driving. But it doesn't matter what he sounds like. It doesn't matter if he's playing Hendrix or Prelude for Lute in C minor by Bach. It doesn't matter if he has the voice of Kermit the frog, or Bocelli. The performance isn't where the magic is.
You see, he cares not what the world thinks of him. He makes his joy anyway. He doesn't have to have a record deal to perform. He doesn't get paid for what he does. He doesn't even require an audience! He just does for the joy of it.
And in so doing, he gives me merriment. I'd like to think he spreads his good juju to all the townspeople too. At least I hope everybody around here appreciates him as much as I do.
Every time I see the Wandering Minstrel doing his thing, it makes me beam. Heck, HE'S beaming. His mirth in palpable. I love this guy for the gift he gives…the gift of being himself, doing what makes him happy, and thus spreading good vibes to others.
So…what's the symbolism here? What's the moral of the story?
Be you. Sod what everybody else thinks. Be your own Joy Machine. You don't need financial backing. You don't need permission. Just do it. Do it for the love of it. The consequences of your giddy escapades will be astounding and far-reaching.
Mirth on,

The #SciFund Challenge: Science Funding Through Crowdsourcing
Scientists have started the #SciFund Challenge, a new type of crowdfunding that lets individuals support scientific research projects, organizations, and causes they believe in.
Wendy Yang | November 15, 2011 | Features
AsianScientist (Nov. 15, 2011) - Most scientists know the drill. In order to do research, they need funding. To get funding, they need to apply for grants, usually from government agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and sometimes from private foundations.
However, two main problems arise from this traditional venue of funding:
One, these agencies provide funding through taxpayer dollars, meaning that many people are already funding scientific research, but they don't know exactly what research their money goes to; and two, it has become increasingly hard to receive funding through this method.
This is where the #SciFund Challenge steps in.
#SciFund proposes crowdsource funding (or simply crowdfunding) – an alternate venue of funding that has worked for the microfinance sector and the arts, yet remains largely untried in the sciences. Crowdfunding describes the collection of money from individual sponsors toward a specific organization or cause.
Under the Challenge, scientists launch their own crowdfunding campaigns by laying out their proposals and research to the public and letting the public decide which projects to donate to.
This method serves a dual purpose: it provides for project funding and at the same time allows for the direct involvement of the public in science. Not only does it let people see exactly where their money goes, but also it engages the public in current scientific research, appealing to their interests or fascinations.
Examples include:
- Social networking to deliver vaccines in rural Tanzania? Interesting!
- Using plants as biofuel? Cool! And…
- Explosive duck erections? Definitely weird enough to check out.
But how viable is crowdfunding in the future of science?
Some see it as a plausible alternative, especially for funding smaller research in which "a little goes a long way."
Others see traditional funding as more fair and less reliant on the public. Yet as U.S. government science spending starts to diminish while spending in Asia continues to grow, will its impact become more significant with time?
Furthermore, will crowdfunding be able to overcome some of the major obstacles – such as advertising its projects to the public, as Dr. Shermin de Silva (whose elephant coexistence project, also part of #SciFund, also referred to in this previous Asian Scientist article) points out on the #SciFund blog?
The first real step to answering these questions relies on the success of #SciFund, which ends on December 15.
For more information, visit the #SciFund Challenge website and check out its sponsored projects.
