John Quackenbush earned his PhD in theoretical particle physics from UCLA in 1990 and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in experimental high energy physics. After receiving a fellowship from the National Center for Human Genome Research, he worked with Glen Evans on the physical mapping of human chromosome 11, and later with Richard Myers and David Cox on large-scale DNA sequencing of chromosomes 21 and 4. In 1998 he joined the faculty at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) where his work focused on the use of genomic and computational methods for the study of human disease. He joined DFCI in 2005 where his work has increasingly focused on the analysis of women's cancers and pulmonary disease, although the methods he and his group develop can be broadly applied. In 2009 he launched the Center for Cancer Computational Biology (CCCB), a Dana-Farber Strategic Plan Center that provides computational support and access to genomic analysis more broadly to the DFCI research community.
ResearchComputational Biology and Functional Genomics
Every revolution in science has been driven by one thing: data. From the Copernican Revolution to the evolution of quantum mechanics to uncovering the structure and function of DNA, data has enabled us to expand our understanding of the universe and ourselves. The first human genome sequence—its ordered collection of chemical letters—was completed in 2000, allowing us to identify a parts list consisting of the more than 25,000 proteins that make up our cells. Today, new technologies are allowing us to sequence individual genomes for a few thousand dollars and in a matter of days, opening up unprecedented opportunities to discover the associations between the genes encoded in the genome and their manifestations in the physical phenotypes we observe, including their associations with disease.
My research focuses on integrating multiple sources of information—genomic data, clinical information, knowledge gleaned from the published scientific literature—to begin to map out the networks that drive processes within cells and to understand how the networks change as diseases like cancer develop and progress. Our hope is that by fully understanding those networks, we can develop strategies to better treat disease and to minimize the impact of therapy on normal, healthy cells.
Our commitment is to build on what we learn to develop software and tools that will stimulate and facilitate research at DFCI which will be made widely and freely to the broader research community.

When Adirondack wildlife was news
Enterprise stories found in the archives of the Adirondack Room of the Saranac Lake Free Library, carry the history of the region; after all the Enterprise has been around since the 1800s and I have been associated with this newspaper in one way or another for 70 years. I started as a newsboy in 1942.
In the 1950's there were many, many stories about hunters, trappers and outdoorsmen. I often wonder about the readers that certain columns will attract; so with this one I sort of zeroed in on Brenden Olsen, a physical therapist at the Adirondack Medical Center, a real woodsmen and tough as nails. The following stories are from those archives.
More than one wolf
One of the pictures with today's column shows Wilmer LaVoy of Tupper Lake with a wolf he trapped near Tupper Lake in 1956. I have another picture of a wolf trapped by Eugene Woods of Tupper Lake, near Tupper Lake, taken in 1958. The caption said that he would take the pelt to Malone and collect a $25 bounty fee.
There is a picture taken by Kathleen Bigrow in May 1959 of Arthur Martin of 11 Water Street, Tupper Lake with a record Otter. The Otter was taken in the Raquette River and when weighed at Shaheen's Market, tipped the scales at 20 pounds and 12 ounces, claiming to be the biggest taken in this area for several years.
And another Enterprise picture from 1957 shows Tupper Lake Policeman Glenwood Paye holding up a 15-pound Bobcat that he accidentally killed with his car as the big cat ran across the road in St. Lawrence County.
The number of Beaver trapped in 1957 in New York State totaled 7,627.
Biggest bear ever
"Albany (AP) -?The State Conservation Department says a black bear weighing more than 600 pounds, the largest ever authentically recorded in the United States, is prowling the Adirondacks.
"The big bear and another weighing 562 pounds were trapped live on Labor Day [1957], given anesthetic, tagged and set free. They were examined in a research project the department is conducting with graduate students of the conservation school at Cornell University.
"The pointer on the scales pushed past its top reading of 600 pounds for the larger animal; take at the south end of Tupper Lake. The second was trapped at the Blue Mountain Lake village dump.
"A bear taken two years ago at North Creek, Warren County, weighed 530 pounds after it was dressed and probably around 600 pounds alive.
"Grancel Fitz, a big game hunter of New York City, says few bears of 500 pounds have been reported in this country."
Deer kill in 1958
"Big game hunters in New York took a total of 66,469 deer and 514 bear during the 1958 season according to figures released by Conservation Commissioner Harold G. Wilm.
"The 1958 deer take was the third highest of record, exceeded only by the '56 and '57 kills of a little over 72,000 for each of those years.
"Regionally the Catskill counties led the state with a total take of 29,254 deer and the Adirondacks, where a considerably large harvest is needed from the interior areas came in third with a total of 12,988.
"The number of deer taken in Essex County was 897 bucks, 176 does for a total of 1,073. Sixty-five bears were taken. In Clinton 277 bucks were bagged and 84 does for a total of 361. Twenty-eight bear were shot down. In Franklin County total of 1, 712 bucks were taken, 337 does for a total of 2,049. Seventy-five bear were killed.

"It's not a concept if it's a lifestyle." For Spencer Antle (right), founder and creative director of Island Company, that isn't so much a motto as it is a fact. Antle, the creative muscle behind the clothing/lifestyle brand, lives the vibe Island Company instills: exotic, airy, liberated.
For 10 years, Island Company has been steeped in Caribbean colors, bold Polynesian patterns and the light airiness of Arabian linen. The clothing line is more lifestyle, imbuing a sense of worldliness, a well-traveled casualness only achievable through a three-week jaunt on a single carry-on. It's the way Antle lives his life, and it's carried through to the brand's lines, each designed in-house, from the patterns on the fabric, to the cut of the jib. It's a process inspired through life and the functionality of being casually comfortable.
Island Company, now rooted in five locations, including the flagship on Worth Avenue that opened in early 2013, all started from a single bikini. On the eve of a Caribbean holiday, Antle's then-girlfriend could not find a suitable bikini. On a lark, Antle, who was working as a television commercial director and screenplay writer, got down to business and designed a few on spec. What came from this impromptu design session was Island Company's first line of 13 bikinis. Things took off, and with a bit of hard work, the brand has evolved into a lifestyle, selling the ideal Antle sought in his tropical travels through T-shirts, tumblers and key chains. The "Quit Your Job | Buy a Ticket | Get a Tan | Fall in Love | Never Return" mantra was never about the clothes but the experience.
"We're selling escapism," Antle says over cocktails, which speaks to another point of the Island Company experience: a different philosophy on retail.
"There is not really a lot of experience in retail," Antle says. "When you walk into a place, it's like, 'Everything is on sale. Buy this.' Here, it's, 'Come in and hang out. Don't worry about buying anything.' But customers do anyway."
Island Company has grown since those first years. Antle's past experiences as a director, pilot, screenplay writer and world traveler all play a part in the direction of the brand, and his current gig is as creative director. He spends his free time now as a music producer and an advertising consultant. Island Company has branched out as well, growing from a swimsuit line to include a women's resort collection, a men's collection, a line of eyewear designed completely in-house and handcrafted in Italy, a collection of beach accessories, flip-flops and even a line of sun-care products, because Antle was "sick of Hawaiian Tropic, so we made our own." But Antle and crew are the last to rest on their laurels. Island Company is in a state of constant expansion, almost to a point of exhaustion.
"We are growing so fast, we're just trying to figure out how to make it happen," Antle says.
He's also working on a rum recipe, looking to broaden the beauty/bath line beyond sun care and eyeing an expanded run of eyewear—all of this on top of the latest fashion collection expected to hit stores in October.
"It's just a constant state of doing," Antle says. "I am definitely on my own path here, not trying to compete with anyone, just trying to get [things] done."
Following is our conversation with Antle on what's next.
What was the direction of the latest collection?
I wanted it to be a little more airy, free and light. Kind of easy. I guess that's where my head wants to be right now—and probably everyone else's, too. ... Going into this year, everyone is trying to figure out, color-wise, how to relax. So something softer, lighter and airy in terms of color and fabric.
What about inspiration?
I'm not traveling that much for fun, so the inspiration is just guttural, coming out of instinct: What [am I] feeling like? What's going on?
Before I was doing this, I was writing screenplays about the Caribbean and about the people going to the tropics, existing in that mind-set. [The inspiration for Island Company] is not a trait or a gimmick. It's not a concept. It's my personality.
[Design inspiration] was always about exotic locales, exotic people and interesting stuff. So some of it comes from whatever interests me at that moment. It's not like it's going to be some "Great Gatsby" theme this year or any of that. It can literally be: I'm tired and need a vacation, so what can that mean? What do I want to see? Light pastels and girls wearing a lot of white. Flowy stuff. That kind of vibe.

Quagga skeleton
UCL Museums Top Ten Objects: Grant Museum
Next >
Location: Extinct and endangered display near Museum entrance
With only seven examples known of this South African zebra, extinct since 1883, this is the rarest skeleton in the world.
The quagga skeleton will be completely remounted and conserved as part of the 2014-15 Bone Idols: Protecting Our Iconic Skeletons project
The Grant Museum houses one of only seven quagga skeletons in existence. Quaggas were a type of South African zebra with fewer stripes than other species. They were wiped out in the 1880s through hunting by westerners for their unusual pelt and as they competed with farmers' livestock for grazing – the last individual died in Amsterdam Zoo on 12th August 1883.
It was long thought that this skeleton was that of a normal zebra. In fact, it was believed that the Grant Museum was home to two zebra skeletons. In 1972, rumours that one of these zebras was a quagga resulted in an examination of the specimens. It turned out that the Museum did indeed have a quagga, but the other "zebra" turned out to be a donkey.
The other six quaggas are scattered across the world, in Holland, Germany, France and the USA. None remain in South Africa. For a full list of all specimens see here: http://www.quaggaproject.org/quagga-museum.htm
Recent study of the DNA remaining on museum skin specimens (skins are more common in collections than skeletons) has shown that quaggas were not a distinct species but were a subspecies of the plains zebra (Equus burchelli). The Quagga Project in South Africa working to selectively breed plains zebras with few stripes on their hindquarters, until the same color pattern as the quagga is achieved. This is an extremely controversial project as critics make the point that the result wouldn't actually be a quagga genetically, it would just be a plains zebra artificially selected to look like one. They claim that the money spent on the project would be better directed at species that are still in need of conservation.
Scientists could potentially attempt to extract DNA from bone marrow and remaining taxidermy specimens and use it for cloning by injecting this DNA into a zebra egg.

Biography Writing with Patricia & Frederick McKissack: A Writing With Writers Activity
In Scholastic's four-step workshop, two award-winning writers help students develop and publish their own biographies.
- Grades: 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
In the "Biography Writing with Patricia & Frederick McKissack" activity (grades 4–12), students learn to write a biography. The McKissacks, winners of the Coretta Scott King award, provide students with a warm-up exercise, genre-specific tips, and an example of a biographical sketch written by them.
The four-step workshop includes:
Step 1: A Biographical Sketch of Frederick Douglass
The authors share the very rough first draft of a book they wrote about Frederick Douglass, and how it evolved into a final draft.
The McKissacks offer 10 tips to help students with their research and writing, including: select a subject you care about, read an article about your subject, be as accurate as possible, and tell a good story.
Step 3: Write Your Own Biography
Time to get started! These three tips help students craft a biographical sketch – a written piece about a person's life, focusing on one incident that defines who she or he is.
Once students are done writing and revising, they can submit their final products to Scholastic.com for publishing!
Plus, students can Read Student Writing, which shares dozens of biographies that others have written.
Learning Objectives
While participating in the "Biography Writing with Patricia and Frederick McKissack" activity, students will:
- Follow the writing process to create original writing.
- Use web technology to post original writing online.
- Understand how to review and revise their own writing.
- Learn to think critically and objectively about their reading.
- Learn to review and revise their own writing.
- Produce written work to show evidence of knowledge of the different genres.
- Part of Collection:
- Subjects:Research Skills, Narrative Writing, Nonfiction Writing, Writing Process, Historic Figures, Social Studies through Literature

Uncover the wonder of Galapagos on a comprehensive itinerary encompassing seven distinct islands.
Arrive Guayaquil
Fly independently to Guayaquil, Ecuador, and transfer to the Hotel Oro Verde. (Meals Aloft)
Guayaquil / Baltra / Daphne Minor
Fly to Galapagos and board the Evolution. After a safety briefing, enjoy a circumnavigation of Daphne Major, a paradise for sea birds such as magnificent frigatebird. (B,L,D)
Isabela Island / Fernandina Island
Zodiacs take you on a dramatic ride into the heart of a sunken volcano at Punta Vicente Roca. Take to the water, where we swim and snorkel among sea turtles, penguins and possibly even sea horses. Explore the lava fields of Punta Espinosa, located on Fernandina, the youngest and most volcanically active island in the Galapagos. Here we spot flightless cormorants and marine iguanas. Whale watch from the Evolution's open-air decks as we cross the Bolivar Channel. (B,L,D)
Isabela Island
Hike along the uplifted section of sea floor in Urvina Bay at the base of the Alcedo Volcano. Our naturalists point out the tortoises, colorful land iguanas and other wildlife that feed on the vegetation. Board our Zodiacs for an excursion to Tagus Cove, where we look for penguins, flightless cormorants, pelicans along the cliffs before a chance to snorkel and swim. (B,L,D)
Bartolomé / Santiago Island: Sullivan Bay
Visit Bartolomé Island, hiking to the top of a dormant volcano for a dramatic panorama, including famed Pinnacle Rock. The island is dotted with craters, cinder cones, lava flows, spatter cones and broken lava tunnels which run down from the summit. Our Zodiac drivers will take "non-hikers" for a ride around the cliffs, observing a stunning volcanic landscape and Galapagos penguins. Swim and snorkel with sea lions and maybe even speedy penguins. This afternoon, hike across the panoehoe lava of Sullivan Bay, seeing some of the hearty flora colonizing the landscapes. Stroll along the coralline beach spotting black and white oystercatchers. (B,L,D)
Santa Cruz Island: Bachas Beach & Dragon Hill
Walk along the white sands of Bachas Beach looking for Sally Lightfoot crabs, black necked stilts and whimbrels. Snorkel in the calm waters where sea turtles nest. Named for the area's large land iguanas, Dragon Hill is an important nesting site for iguanas reintroduced by the Charles Darwin Research Center. Walk to a lagoon where we often find flamingos, common stilts and pintail ducks. (B,L,D)
Santa Cruz Island
Begin our day in the forested highlands, with ample opportunity to see and photograph giant tortoises in the wild. Stop at a family run farm before learning about the work being done to study and preserve wildlife at Fausto Llerena Tortoise Breeding Center at the Darwin Research Center. (B,L,D)
Española Island
As the southernmost island in the archipelago, Española's relative isolation has resulted in not only an abundance of unusual wildlife, but species and subspecies that are endemic to the island, such as Española (Hood) mockingbird, Española (Hood) racer snake, Española (Hood) lava lizard, waved albatross and brightly colored marine iguanas. Enjoy a Zodiac ride before wading ashore to Punta Suarez through a sea lion colony. Walk along the cliffs looking for waved albatrosses, Galapagos hawks, Hood mockingbirds and the red-colored race of marine iguana en route to Española's blowhole, where waves spout 90 feet into the air. After a relaxing lunch, swim, snorkel and kayak in the waters off Gardner Bay, or simply bring along your book or a camera and relax on the white sands. (B,L,D)
San Cristóbal Island / Guayaquil
End your Galapagos Islands cruise by returning to San Cristóbal to visit the Interpretation Center, opened by the park in 1998. Fly to Guayaquil, with time to relax at the Hotel Oro Verde. (B,L Aloft)
Depart Guayaquil
Board independent flights home. (B, Meals Aloft)

Dr. Walther is a physician-scientist with clinical expertise in gastrointestinal and liver pathology, the molecular diagnostics of surgical pathology specimens, and molecular oncology of solid tumors. Her research interests focus on epithelial cell biology, particularly the roles of membrane-associated scaffolding proteins in cell polarity and proliferation control. A new project in her lab involves characterizing the cellular functions of one such scaffolding protein, called Dlg5 (discs large 5) in the intestine. Allelic variation in the human Dlg5 gene has been linked to altered risk of Crohn's disease, a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of Dlg5's involvement in Crohn's disease pathogenesis are unknown. The Walther lab is using tissue culture and transgenic mouse models to explore the roles of Dlg5 in enterocyte differentiation and function, maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and innate immune signalling in the intestinal mucosa.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (139 votes).
In short: Amazing race the best I have ever done. This is the fourth time.Date of review: February 9, 2015
In short: great organiastion! Date of review: April 3, 2012
In short: The model by which all local 10k races should be judgedIn full: What's not to like. Great fast 'n' flat course. Fabulous atmosphere. Organisation was faultless both before and after the race. AWESOME good bag with the best technical tee.If the wind stays away I defy anybody not to PB on this course. It is pancake flat and of the right size, in terms of the field, to pick people off as you go.The start is narrow so the initial 2-3 minutes is probably a little slower than ideal but at least it stops the cavalry charge start that may be regretted later!Congratulations Mad Dog - you're a credit to running.Date of review: March 4, 2012
In short: Best race I've ran in a long time - organisation amazingDate of review: February 24, 2012
In short: Friendly atmosphere and quick courseIn full: Good atmosphere and some scenic views. Parts of the course do get narrow (half way point) which would benefit from road closures.Enjoyed the whole day and the goody bag was very good!Date of review: February 24, 2012
Date of review: February 21, 2012
In short: Fantastic race. Well organised. Closed roads - most of them. Flat. Fantastic goody bag with useful stuff! In full: I loved this. Wonderfully flat so great for a PB - I managed it! Fantastic communication. Man behind it took the time out to reply to my mail after it - how good is that? Lots of on site parking. Great technical t-shirt, fantastic goody bag with useful things. Definitely in my diary for next year. Who knows - maybe another PB! Date of review: February 21, 2012
In short: An Excellent race and a credit to Adrian who organised the eventIn full: This is without doubt a fantastic race. The organisation was first class. The course is flat and presents an opportunity for a PB. Great encouragement from the Marshalls. The goodie bags are excellent which includes a great T shirt. Overall very good value for money and would recommend to othersDate of review: February 21, 2012
In short: Good parking, unclear T shirt collection, good flat course, good marshalls, poor finish funnelIn full: I found this race to be very good. The parking was very well organised and the course was well marshalled and good. However, the run in part of the race (last 1K) was on the pavement which had a lot of large tree roots and was uneven. The road was not closed so we shared it with the cars which I did not consider to be too safe. Excellent goody bag but a very short finish funnel which meant that we were standing around for minutes waiting to go through the funnel. A longer funnel would have eliminated this problem. Good overall raceDate of review: February 21, 2012
In short: Even better than last year!In full: No wind this year so very good PB course, brilliant organisation and excellent goody bag. Free running shirt the best ever. My brother in law came all the way from Washington DC to run this race again after last year! Woof Woof!Date of review: February 19, 2012

Designer Visions: Tour Matthew Patrick Smyth's Apartment for ELLE DECOR
All love stories unfold according to the same familiar rules. So do I-love-New-York stories. In the classic tale, you have a mad-hot affair with Manhattan in your 20s—wild nights, poetic mornings, fabulous people, brilliant cultural events. Then you flee to the suburbs and buy a house with a yard, having decided that the city is not a marriage-and-family type of town. But you never forget it.
When William Sofield met the couple whose apartment he would ultimately spend the next two years designing, they were on the cusp of reuniting with the city they'd left behind. "We had made a commitment to each other that when our kids went to college, we'd return," says the husband. When the time came, "We ran back."
Says Sofield, "I identified with their whole situation. Like: 'We were young and owned the town, and then we moved out and bought the proverbial butter churn.' This was coming back to their former selves."
The living room mantel of cast glass backed with white gold is custom made, the chandelier is of Murano glass, and American barrel-back chairs flank a metal-and-glass table by Donald Deskey; the sconces are antique, and the mantel clock belonged to designer Madeleine Castaing.

Nice interview on the Johnny Walker show on BBC R2 yesterday (my driving home station).
He confirmed that the entire George solo back catalogue is to be remastered and rereleased next year - with additional tracks and improved packaging. To include Wilburys 1&3 (about time too).
Once that's out the way, there will be a George "anthology" bringing together other unreleased material. Dhani also confirmed he'd like to compile a film from the "miles" of footage filmed by George that he has.
A very sensitive interview by JW, as always. Dhani talked about how his father was a fanatical gardener. He used to like doing the garden in the dark - that way you can only see the bit you're working on, and so you can imagine the whole garden being perfectly finished and weed free.

Leeza Gibbons may have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a raft of Emmy nominations for her 1994-2000 daytime talk show, and a current work resume that boasts of two TV co-hosting gigs (on �America Now� and �My Generation�) and the syndicated radio show, �Hollywood Confidential.� Not to mention her own mineral makeup line, Sheer Cover, and an award-winning book under her belt (Take Your Oxygen First) with another on the way (Take 2, out February 5, 2013).
But of all Leeza�s ventures and interests, what she loves most is reaching out to the millions of family caregivers in the U.S. with a been-there-done-that kind of support she says is sorely needed.
Leeza�s own experience of caring for her mother, who died of Alzheimer�s in 2008, opened her eyes to the need for resources and support for caregivers, particularly those dealing with Alzheimer�s. �Caring for someone with memory loss is one of the most depleting forms of caregiving,� she says. �But the whole notion of caregiving in general�it�s the thing that we don�t really have language for. Nobody really prepares for it, and it�s the ultimate sure thing.�

Summer 2017 courses begin Monday, May 22 and Saint Louis University offers several sessions throughout the summer.
Summer application begins Monday, February 1.
For specific dates of these sessions, view the academic calendar.
College Credit Courses for High School and College Students
Saint Louis University welcomes eligible high school juniors and seniors, as well as students from any college or university, to enroll in college credit courses this summer. We offer nearly 500 courses in a variety of subject areas. From History 112: Origins of the Modern World, to Public Health 502: Ethics of Public Health, there's bound to be a SLU course that will help you have a get-ahead summer.
High school students who have completed their sophomore year with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 system or better, may, with written recommendation and grade verification from their high school counselor or principal, enroll as a visiting student during the summer and be eligible to receive college credit. Approved high school students may register for introductory courses (100 or 200 level) for which they have the proper preparation and prerequisites. For summer, students must fill out the online Summer Visiting Undergraduate Application.
Visiting Young Scholars Program - College Credit Courses for Advanced High School Students
Saint Louis University's Visiting Young Scholars Program provides the opportunity for a select group of high school students to begin their college experience in regular lower division Saint Louis University classes on the SLU campus, prior to high school graduation. This program bridges the gap between high school honors courses and full-time college student status, while providing participating students the opportunity of advancing academically prior to entering SLU as full-time students.
To register, please visit the website of the Visiting Young Scholars program.
Continuing Education
Within the Jesuit tradition of Saint Louis University, education does not stop once a diploma is in hand. SLU alumni and community members are called to pursue lives of "continuing education," whether in individual career fields, family experiences, community engagement and service, or academic studies and research. Saint Louis University is dedicated to providing such opportunities for continuing education, specifically in the classroom, lab and field settings. Students who are visiting from other colleges or universities may also apply.
We offer full degree programs, short-term credit and non-credit certificates, and CEUs. Courses range in length from one-day to a full semester, and may include on-campus coursework, distance learning and hybrid technologies.
For more information, please visit the website of Office of the University Registrar.

Can't trust city again
Gary Panasuk, Minot
Well, here we go again, with more promises of flood protection and property tax relief. The city of Minot got 1 cent on the dollar in taxes after the 1969 flood and paid tens of millions of dollars for flood protection. How did that work out for the citizens of Minot and surrounding areas? I got a 6-foot swimming pool on the main level and a $160,000 bill to rebuild. Awesome! My property taxes have never gone down. It's the same song and dance from the city. Pretty soon we should be paying nothing for property tax with all the 10 percent and 15 percent cuts for property tax relief.
So since you council members figure we need a new tax, I will explain to you why people rebuilt. Lots of people maybe had their home paid for or almost paid for so instead of paying $300,000 for a home people spent a $100,000 plus to fix their flooded home. Not sure what you expect buyout people to do when you can't pay them. It's been over a year! Just fix the dikes we have and actually manage the dams. Quit hiring engineers. Don't we have our own engineers? Why do we pay them?
You got many millions from HUD in CDBG funds to help flood protection, not build parking lots downtown and sewer lines for people on the hill in northeast Minot. That is not what that is supposed to be used for; it should be used for fixing and repairing flooded areas and damage.
This flood has destroyed peoples lives and businesses and you cannot tell me there was not any deaths. People died of suicide, stress, and many divorces. I think the people should be able to vote for raising taxes or adding taxes. People, may we remind you that it has been over a year and nothing has been done. You want more tax money for that kind of flood protection. You taxed us once for flood protection and look what happened.You cannot be trusted again. Somebody needs to pay attention.

Jill Chamberlain
315-764-0226, ext. 300
July 17, 2006
MASSENA—Three movies will be shown Wednesday (July
19) at the admission-free Hawkins Point Visitors Center at the New

Wednesday's schedule, part of the Visitors Center's
"Beat the Heat Summer Movie Days" that will continue throughout the
summer, begins at 10 a.m. with "March of the Penguins." "Cheaper by
the Dozen" will follow at 1 p.m. and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" at 3
p.m. All showings will be in the Visitors Center theater.
"March of the Penguins," narrated by Morgan
Freeman, depicts the journey of empire penguins as they march single
file day and night for 70 miles across Antarctica, the coldest
continent on Earth. The two "Cheaper by the Dozen" movies feature
Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as the parents of 12 rambunctious kids.
Besides enjoying the movies, visitors can sample
the array of hands-on exhibits at the $5 million Hawkins Point
facility, which presents information on such themes as Water Power
and the St. Lawrence-FDR project, Basics of Electricity and Uses of
Electricity. Another highlight is the panoramic view of the
project's power dam from Hawkins Point.
The visitors center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
DIRECTIONS: From Massena: Take State Route 37
east to Route 131 (across from St. Lawrence Centre Mall), turn left
and proceed through the Eisenhower Lock tunnel. Then take the
second right onto Robinson Bay Road and continue for two miles.
Turn left onto Hawkins Point Road and follow the entrance road to
the Visitors Center.
About NYPA:
■ NYPA uses no tax money or
state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of
bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of
electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting
energy-efficiency, new energy technologies and electric
transportation initiatives. ■ It is the
nation's largest state-owned electric utility, with 18 generating
facilities in various parts of the state and more than 1,400

Police Standoff Ends in Medford Without Shots Being Fired
An early-morning standoff between a man and Medford police ended peacefully after 2 hours today. Police received a call at 1:46 a.m. reporting that 29-year old Danny Burlington was threatening to kill himself.
Police arrived to find Burlington, who made a similar threat to take his life in July, standing in the middle of the street, appearing to be holding a gun to his head. Neighboring homes were evacuated.
Burlington surrendered at 4 a.m. The gun turned out to be a fake.
In the incident from earlier this summer, Burlington shot himself in the shoulder. He was cited for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Winter lets governments pass the salt
The Columbus Dispatch - March 26, 2012 10:53 AM
The temperature is supposed to dip below freezing tonight, so let's think warm thoughts -- about last week when it was still winter.
We've already told the story about how much state and local governments saved in the season just past because of the mild weather that kept snow plows parked and snow-plow drivers working eight-hour shifts. The Ohio Department of Transportation spent $40 million less than last year on salt, overtime and other wintertime expenses. Columbus saved $1.5 million, and Franklin County saved $500,000.
Here are the final salt totals, though, from the winter-that-wasn't:
-- ODOT used 367,156 tons of salt across Ohio, compared to 727,858 tons in 2010-11.
-- Columbus' Department of Public Service used 5,681 tons of salt, compared to 27,861 tons in 2010-11.
Unused salt is sheltered and stored for the future.

Thinking of Apple TV- a few questions
I am using a 1st gen intel IMac running Lion 10.7.5. I am on a jailbroken 4S running IOS5.1.1. I understand that I wont be able to do Airplay mirroring because 1st gen intels dont run it correct? Do I have to update my IOS (losing my JB) to 6 to do the airplay from my phone? Do I also have to update to Mountain Lion in order to access IPhoto/photostream or am I unable to do that because of the first gen thing anyway? I know a lot of questions but I am just trying to make a well informed decision. Thanks folks!

Thinking of Apple TV- a few questions
I believe that iOS 5 supports airplay so you should be fine there as long as the app supports AirPlay out. Not sure about AirPlay mirroring from the 4S though.
I don't think you need ML for Photostream. Have you tried to enable it in the iPhoto preferences?

JB iP4S iOS 5.1.1 works fine with Apple TV. You don't need to give up your jailbreak.

Some preliminary details about ATI's next-generations graphics processors have been published at The Inquirer web-site. The biggest news is that the forthcoming chip will support Shader Model 3.0 in spite of ATI's pretty sceptic attitude towards the standard initially.
ATI Technologies' upcoming visual processing unit does not only have its code-number R520 (not R500, as initially thought), but also has its code-name, the web-site claims. Apparently, the chip is called Fudo, probably after the Japanese god of fire and wisdom, as Babynamenetwork web-site describes the name. ATI's current-generation graphics chips – the RADEON X800 – were initially named Loki after a god in Norse mythology.
The R520 is reported to emerge in Q1 or Q2 2005 and feature brand-new architecture that sports Shader Model 3.0 or even higher level of programmability. Before the R520 makes it to the market ATI is expected to release a speed-bump of the current architecture – a chip called R480.
There is no information about the number of pixel and vertex pipelines and the number of transistors inside the R520 visual processing unit.
ATI Technologies did not comment on the news-story.

Developing a Confidentiality Policy
Pages 347–355, Intellectual Freedom Manual, sixth edition, Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association, Chicago, IL, 2001)
Recent years have seen an increase in the number and frequency of challenges to the confidentiality of library records across the United States, and a new dimension has been added to confidentiality concerns. Throughout the 1980s, the Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) received queries from individual librarians who had been pressured by the FBI or local law enforcement agencies for information about library users, or who were afraid of being held liable for a patron's acts after providing information on such topics as bomb construction, weapons, or satanism. Some of these librarians were tempted to maintain special files on patrons who seemed "suspicious" or who made "unusual" requests. These queries revealed a lack of confidence in confidentiality procedures or a misunderstanding of the important links among confidentiality, intellectual freedom, and librarians' professional and legal obligations to uphold the privacy rights of patrons.
Why Is Confidentiality Crucial to Freedom of Inquiry?
Inquiries about patron reading habits raise serious questions for librarians and patrons. For example, are you what you read? Would you want others to base decisions affecting your life on their opinion of the books you read, the music you listen to, the information you access over the Internet or other electronic networks or database services, or the films you view? How would library use change if patrons thought their reading records and other information about their lives would be open for scrutiny? How widely would people read knowing their choices might prejudice others against them? If libraries are to survive as centers for the free and uninhibited access to information so necessary to a democratic society, librarians must vigilantly guard their patrons' privacy and freedom of inquiry.
To support librarians in their role as defenders of the right to read, in 1971 the IFC proposed, and the ALA Council adopted, the "Policy on Confidentiality of Library Records" (revised in 1975). This important addition to the IFC's expanding inventory of tools for defending intellectual freedom was initiated in response to U.S. Treasury Department efforts to identify potentially "subversive" individuals based on their choice of reading material. Looking for the names of those who had borrowed or read books about the construction of explosives, treasury agents conducted inquiries in libraries in Ohio, California, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Librarians sounded the alarm over these apparent "fishing expeditions," and the department ceased its inquiries—but not before some librarians had handed over their records.
The IFC, which is firmly committed to the freedom to read as a necessary corollary to freedom of expression, encouraged librarians to resist such open-ended government inquiries. One cannot exercise the right to read if the possible consequences include damage to one's reputation, ostracism from the community or workplace, or criminal penalties. Choice requires both a varied selection and the assurance that one's choice is not monitored. In the case of criminal investigations or other government inquiries, it is especially critical that a librarian preserve the patron's confidentiality because the consequences of releasing information about the individual(s) under investigation may be dire and the potential for abuse of information about a person's reading habits great.
A case in Decatur, Texas, dramatically illustrates this danger. Early in 1990, the Wise County District Attorney's office, investigating a child-abandonment case, subpoenaed the records of the Decatur Public Library, requesting the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all individuals who had checked out books on childbirth within the previous nine months, the titles they borrowed, and the dates the materials were checked out and returned. The police had no evidence indicating that the person who abandoned the child might have borrowed library books or otherwise used the library. Lacking any other leads, police were simply conducting a "fishing expedition."
The director of the Decatur Public Library refused to release the records. Instead, she chose to respond, with the help of the city attorney, by filing a motion to quash the subpoena on behalf of the library's patrons. On May 9, 1990, Texas District Court Judge John R. Lindsey ruled in favor of the library and quashed the subpoena. The library director in this case was successful in defending her patrons, but imagine the consequences if she had failed: all patrons who had borrowed books on childbirth might have been subjected to police interrogation based solely upon their choice of reading materials. Thanks to this librarian's courageous implementation of the library confidentiality policy, patrons were not subject to such unjust and humiliating proceedings.
Threats to confidentiality arise within the library from loosely managed information or circulation systems, library staff or board members who are unaware of their responsibilities under existing confidentiality policy or state law, or from lack of any policy at all on the issue. Librarians or their staff may be asked for confidential information by patrons, journalists, students, or professors who wish to check on the reading habits of their students, or parents of young children who must pay overdue fines or who wish to monitor their children's reading preferences. As more libraries become automated and computerize their patron information files, and as more libraries add access to the Internet, other electronic networks, database services, and e-mail services to the array of resources they offer their patrons, threats to privacy may arise from abusers of the system. Known as "hackers," these pranksters and vandals enter the system without authorization and attempt to spy on other users or sabotage the system as a whole, using software of their own design or by exploiting loopholes in the system, sometimes causing major system breakdowns.
Finally, many of the most difficult and complicated challenges come from local or federal law enforcement officials investigating criminal activities, or from feuding litigants in civil cases. Although these situations are relatively infrequent, they can be intimidating if a librarian, staff, and governing board are inadequately prepared to respond.
In 1989, responding to an increase in external threats and the clear need for further education on intellectual freedom and confidentiality for all librarians, the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee (IFC) initiated Confidentiality in Libraries: An Intellectual Freedom Modular Education Program. Concurrently, the ALA Council requested a new and more specific policy to address the problem of confidentiality in the context of law enforcement inquiries, a trend sparked by the FBI Library Awareness Program and emulated by law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country—from county sheriffs to urban detectives. The IFC developed a new policy, and Council adopted it at the June 1991 Annual Meeting (see "Policy concerning Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information about Library Users," part II, section 3). The remainder of the chapter discusses confidentiality and the law, state law protection of library records, what librarians can do, and writing, adopting, and implementing a confidentiality policy.
To assist librarians in preserving privacy and confidentiality for library users, particularly in this post-September 11 period, the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee has written an Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights on privacy, which was adopted by the ALA Council on June 19, 2002.

Belated Basket Filling
CELORON – Although the holiday had come and gone, the turnout for the village of Celoron's annual Easter egg hunt was as lively as could be expected.
On Saturday, hundreds of area children and their families came to belatedly celebrate Easter by searching for eggs and other various candy items scattered throughout Lucille Ball Memorial Park.
As the children were lined up and ready to go, they were greeted by a surprise visitor. At 10 a.m., the Easter Bunny arrived by fire truck just before the hunt's commencement, which was announced by the truck's siren. According to Scott Schrecengost, deputy mayor of Celoron, the fact that the hunt was rescheduled seemed to have no impact on the number of participants.
"This was pretty consistent with what we usually get," he said, after the conclusion of the event. "We expected, since we had to cancel it last week, to have quite a few more. But it went well, and the kids clean up really nice down here."
Despite having the park roped off into sections for different age groups, all bets were off once the hunt began. Children could be seen scrambling from one end of the park to the other, grabbing at as many eggs and treats as they could find.
Parents watched the calamity from the sidelines, including Tom Bartlett-who was with his 8-year-old stepson, Alec.
"It's been a great experience for the kids," said Bartlett, who moved to the area last year and was attending his first Easter egg hunt at Celoron. "(Rescheduling the event) worked out because, with everything else that's going on and being on vacation from school, it gives (kids) something else to do this weekend."
From 9-10 a.m., families were also given the option to preregister at the Community Center for a giveaway-which offered several new bicycles to lucky contestants. A bike was given for each of the four age categories: 1-3; 4-6; 7-9; and 10-12.
The annual Celoron Easter egg hunt was organized and provided through the partnership of the village of Celoron, the Chautauqua Lake Fishing Association and the Lakewood Celoron Loyal Order of Moose 2587.

Fiction reflects reality in a way we could see things we normally wouldn't be able to. The stories that take place in Florence or just represent the city give us a different vision of it and all its unnoticed magic and beauty. For that reason, from Il Salviatino, your 5 stars hotel in Florence, we encourage you to discover some of those stories and the authors that made them possible.
As a matter of fact, Tuscany's been the cradle of many artists and writers. People like Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio were born here, and their masterpieces, Divina Commedia and Il Decameron, were made timeless so that they can touch and excite us forever. In addition, books like Under the Tuscan sun are a wonderful invitation for the readers to know a region in which you could even start over.
But when it comes to Florence, there are also some remarkable movies that let us know its citizens, monuments and streets full of life. It's the case, for example, of Tea with Mussolini, which included an incredible cast and told us a curious story. So if you're looking for something to do, bet on these works and make room for Florence's attractive among your dreams.

A few crafty and design photos from Malaysia, a thank you and a couple of book reviews today.
Malaysia, Melaka and the Silk Route
We went to Melaka in Malaysia over Christmas. Partly because we had itchy travel feet and also because Melaka sounded really interesting. During the 14th and 15th century it was part of the maritime silk route. Everyone knows about the overland Silk Road but Melaka was the meeting spot for many trading ships from China, India, South-East Asia and the Arabian Penisula. Visiting a couple of the many museums in Melaka, it sounded to me like almost everything was traded there!
My personal interest is of course craft, textiles and designs so here are a few photos from Melaka on those themes.
I remember doing batik at primary school but nothing like this! We went to the Batik House which is a centre for keeping the traditional craft alive. They have an enormous shop and underneath a huge workspace to teach the art. I enjoyed watching the artist's smooth sweeping strokes as he poured the wax outline on and then filled it with ink.
There was a hole in the wall kind of shop just down from our hotel. One day it was packed with Christmas decorations, the next day they had completely replaced it with Chinese new year: lanterns and red paper cut outs.
Melaka has a river running up through the side of it where at one point (before it silted up) 2000 trading ships would come to rest. Now it is much smaller and lined with houses and gorgeous tiled bridges. Melaka's bridges, buildings and steps are dotted with many lovely almost art noveaux tiles like this one.
And the last thing I was expecting to find was a craft shop that would have fitted perfectly into my Australian country town! It was a truly lovely handmade craft store full of divine bags, purses, patterns, dolls and fabric. They also ran classes. It is called Heart Handy, just off Jonker St in China Town. I spoke with the proprietor who said that she and her friends found a lot of their inspiration in magazines and showed me a bookcase full of them!
Book Reviews
Two short book reviews keeping with the theme of writing and traveling for you this week. These are both books I have read in the last few months in preparation for going to Malaysia and of course, for my work as an author.
APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur by Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've had people tell me they want to write a book. It usually happens after I quietly mention that I write books! So for anyone interested in what you need to do to actually get those words down, then edit them, then either self-publish or find a mainstream publisher this book is pretty much the best I've ever read on the topic. (And I have read a few.) It covers the whole life cycle, you could say of an author's work and is an invaluable resource.
The Harmony Silk Factory by Tash Aw
I read this novel in preparation for going to Melaka. I couldn't put it down, it was perhaps not so strangely really compelling reading. I think this was for two reasons. I haven't really read that much about Malaysia so it was a fairly new story and history for me. And I really enjoyed the plot device Tash Aw used. It is a plot device I would aspire to one day after I have had a lot more writing experience I suspect! The story is told in three parts by three different people. It is each person's view of what happened and what the main character, Johnny is like. I found it thought provoking and insightful.

Dan Deacon is a classically trained spazz. The ringleader of Baltimore's Wham City collective, Deacon makes synth-pop that's both wildly idiosyncratic and steeped in compositional theory. His videos are akin to the absurd surrealism of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" His concerts are something like hipster Jazzercise.
He also resembles Columbus rocker/concert promoter Kyle Sowash, but maybe that's just the glasses.
Deacon's "America," out this week, is his most distinctly classical album in years, which figures, because recently he's been premiering long-form works and scoring a Francis Ford Coppola movie and playing Carnegie Hall. "America" follows suit with movements and suites and such, often translated into Nintendo-era bleeps and bloops.
That should tip you off that "America" is no stuffy snooze-fest. The album surges relentlessly forward, as energetic and fun as anything Deacon's done. Some sections drag on too long, but they'll probably build tension masterfully on stage Thursday at The Bluestone.

Analysts from Goldman Sachs investment firm said that Microsoft Corp. should spin off its consumer Xbox business as potentially lower than expected software sales lock potentially high financial performance of consumer businesses. The proposal hardly makes a lot of sense due to many reasons, among which is natural dependence of console hardware business on financial potential of its owner.
"A break-up of the consumer businesses could potentially unlock hidden value, or more discipline on cost could turn the businesses into contributors to profitability and shareholder value. For example, the Xbox products could be an appealing stand-alone entity, given the historical success of the Xbox and the products' brand strength, and the business could show unlocked value with forced cost discipline compared to as a piece of Microsoft," a recent report from Goldman Sachs reads, reports TechFlash web-site.
But while Xbox business is not profitable, it should be noted that Microsoft had to invest heavily into design of the console and sell it at a loss for a long period of time, at least initially. A small company cannot afford selling hardware at a loss for prolonged time, which is why firms like 3DO, Sega and many others had to quit hardware business. For the Xbox division Microsoft's financial capabilities is the base of long-term success and spinning off the Xbox business may undermine its future development.
But Goldman Sachs seems to believe that Microsoft should completely split up itself into at least two separate companies, one of which would serve enterprise and business customers and another working on the consumer market.
"To date the company's comments suggest that management still sees significant value in combining the consumer and enterprise efforts, but we view a foot in both camps as preventing a successful focus on one strategy, a la Oracle in the enterprise or Apple for consumers," said Sarah Friar of Goldman in the report.
At present Microsoft is at risk given the turmoil on the market, uncertain sales of its software on emerging markets and other factors. However, what should be kept in mind is that Microsoft Windows is used by both consumers and businesses whereas companies like Apple or Oracle have rather very distinct clients.
"We believe the intrinsic value of shares cannot be unlocked if the status quo remains, and we have increased caution near term on a more elongated PC refresh cycle, combined with the newer threat of notebook cannibalization from tablets, where Windows does not yet have a presence," write Goldman Sachs analyst Sarah Friar and associates in the introduction to the report.
