Mongolia, also called (historically) Outer Mongolia, country located in north-central Asia. It is roughly oval in shape, measuring 1,486 miles (2,392 km) from west to east and, at its maximum, 782 miles (1,259 km) from north to south. Mongolia's land area is roughly equivalent to that of the the countries of western and central Europe, and it lies in a similar latitude range. The national capital, Ulaanbaatar (Mongolian: Ulan Bator) is in the north-central part of the country.
Landlocked Mongolia is located between Russia to the north and China to the south, deep within the interior of eastern Asia far from any ocean. The country has a marked continental climate, with long cold winters and short cool-to-hot summers. Its remarkable variety of scenery consists largely of upland steppes, semideserts, and deserts, although in the west and north forested high mountain ranges alternate with lake-dotted basins. Mongolia is largely a plateau, with an average elevation of about 5,180 feet (1,580 metres) above sea level. The highest peaks are in the Mongolian Altai Mountains (Mongol Altain Nuruu) in the southwest, a branch of the Altai Mountains system.
Some three-fourths of Mongolia's area consists of pasturelands, which support the immense herds of grazing livestock for which the country is known. The remaining area is about equally divided between forests and barren deserts, with only a tiny fraction of the land under crops. With a total population of fewer than three million, Mongolia has one of the lowest average population densities of any country in the world.
The Mongols have a long prehistory and a most remarkable history. The Huns, a people who lived in Central Asia from the 3rd to the 1st century bce, may have been their ancestors. A united Mongolian state of nomadic tribes was formed in the early 13th century ce by Genghis Khan, and his successors controlled a vast empire that included much of China, Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. The Mongol empire eventually collapsed and split up, and from 1691 northern Mongolia was colonized by Qing (Manchu) China. With the collapse of Qing rule in Mongolia in 1911/12, the Bogd Gegeen (or Javzandamba), Mongolia's religious leader, was proclaimed Bogd Khan, or head of state. He declared Mongolia's independence, but only autonomy under China's suzerainty was achieved. From 1919, nationalist revolutionaries, with Soviet assistance, drove out Chinese troops attempting to reoccupy Mongolia, and in 1921 they expelled the invading White Russian cavalry. July 11, 1921, then became celebrated as the anniversary of the revolution. The Mongolian People's Republic was proclaimed in November 1924, and the Mongolian capital, centred on the main monastery of the Bogd Gegeen, was renamed Ulaanbaatar ("Red Hero").
From 1921 until the end of the 1980s, Mongolia was a one-party state closely tied to the Soviet Union. It received technical, economic, and military assistance from the Soviet Union and generally followed Soviet guidance in political and economic matters and in the building of a socialist society. However, beginning in 1990, forces for change in Mongolia ended the monopoly of political power by the communists in favour of free multiparty elections, coalition government, a new constitution, greater cultural and religious freedom with more emphasis on Mongol national traditions, a neutral position in international relations, and a transition to a market economy.
Mongolia can be divided into three major topographic zones: the mountain chains that dominate the northern and western areas, the basin areas situated between and around them, and the enormous upland plateau belt that lies across the southern and eastern sectors. The entire country is prone to seismic movements, and some earthquakes are extremely severe. Their effects, however, are limited by the low population density.
The mountains
There are three major mountain chains in Mongolia: the Mongolian Altai Mountains, the Khangai Mountains (Khangain [or Hangayn] Nuruu), and the Khentii Mountains (Khentiin [or Hentiyn] Nuruu). The Mongolian Altai in the west and southwest constitute the highest and the longest of these chains. Branching southeastward from the main Altai range at the northwestern border with Russia, the Mongolian Altai stretch southeastward for some 250 miles (400 km) along the Chinese border before turning slightly more eastward for another 450 miles (725 km) in southwestern Mongolia. The range—the only one in the country where contemporary glaciation has developed—reaches an elevation of 14,350 feet (4,374 metres) at Khüiten Peak (Nayramadlyn Orgil) at the western tip of the country, Mongolia's highest point. Extending eastward from the Mongolian Altai are the Gobi Altai Mountains (Govi Altain Nuruu), a lesser range of denuded hills that lose themselves in the expanses of the Gobi.
The Khangai Mountains, also lying from northwest to southeast, form a solid mountain mass near the centre of the country. The range's peaks reach some 12,000 feet (3,700 metres), with Otgontenger, the highest, rising to some 13,200 feet (4,025 metres) in the northwest. Characteristic of the Khangai are gentle slopes covered with fine pastureland. To the north the Eastern Sayan Mountains of Siberia lie along the border with Russia.
The alignment of the third mountain chain, the Khentii range of northeastern Mongolia, is southwest to northeast, extending into Siberia. The highest peak is Asraltkhairkhan, which reaches about 9,200 feet (2,800 metres), but, in general, maximum elevations are about 7,000 feet (2,130 metres). Ulaanbaatar lies at the southwestern edge of the range. The Da Hinggan (Greater Khingan) Range rises along and beyond the eastern frontier with China.
The northern intermontane basins
Around and between the main ranges lie an important series of basins. The Great Lakes region, with more than 300 lakes, is tucked between the Mongolian Altai, the Khangai, and the mountains along the border with Siberia. Another basin lies between the eastern slopes of the Khangai Mountains and the western foothills of the Khentii range. The southern part of it—the basins of the Tuul and Orkhon (Orhon) rivers—is a fertile region important in Mongolian history as the cradle of settled ways of life.
The remarkable Khorgo region, on the northern flanks of the Khangai Mountains, has a dozen extinct volcanoes and numerous volcanic lakes. Swift and turbulent rivers have cut jagged gorges. The source stream of the Orkhon River is in another volcanic region, with deep volcanic vents and hot springs. Near the northern border, Lake Khövsgöl (Hövsgöl) is the focus of another rugged region that is noted for its marshlands.
The plateau and desert belt
The eastern part of Mongolia has a rolling topography of hilly steppe plains. Here and there, small, stubby massifs contain the clearly discernible cones of extinct volcanoes. The Dariganga area of far eastern Mongolia contains some 220 such extinct volcanoes. Most of the southern part of the country is a vast plain, with occasional oases, forming the northern fringe of the Eastern (Mongolian) Gobi. The flat relief is occasionally broken by low, heavily eroded ranges. Several spectacular natural features are found in the Gobi region. Huge six-sided basalt columns, arranged in clusters resembling bundles of pencils, are found in the eastern and central regions. The southern Gobi contains a mountain range, the Gurvan Saikhan ("Three Beauties"), that is known for its dinosaur fossil finds at Bayanzag and Nemegt. In addition, the range's scenic Yolyn Am (Lammergeier Valley)—now a national park, with a deep gorge containing a small perennial glacier—is surrounded by towering rocky cliffs where lammergeiers (bearded vultures) roost.

All fish feeding should stop once the water temperature reaches 40°F. Being that the fish are almost in state of hibernation at that point, they will then live off their stored body fat until spring feedings start up, again at 40°F.
What others are saying
"Love feeding fish this way..."Annette Brady of Silver Springs, NV
This is the easiest way to feed fish. I love this food. My kids can even feed and we don't have to worry about over feeding, underfeeding...so easy and fun to watch the shy Koi come up and eat.View entire review
"Ponstix"DONNA WHITTEN of DEMING, NM
My koi have been on ponstix for nearly a year now & have grown double their size & appear happy. You can tell because they are smiling. This is my first experience raising koi & everything seems to be going well. With a shaded pergola over the pond and a strong circulating pump/filter even the desert heat hasn't bothered them.

One of the breeds of gamefowl most in demand today are the "Sweaters". There are several versions of how they originated. The following account of their origin is "straight from the horse's mouth". It comes from Johnny Jumper and another respected cocker who knew the parent fowl; when, where and by whom they were bred. The following is their version how the Sweaters originated. Sweater McGinnis gave Walter Kelso a yellow legged Hatch cock whose bloodlines are thought to trace back to Harold Browns McLean Hatch. Mr. Kelso bred this cock to his Kelso hens and the offspring from the mating proved to be outstanding pit cocks. Cecil Davis, who was a friend of Mr. Kelso, walked cocks for him and had access to Mr. Kelso's best fowl. Cecil got one of the cocks which Mr. Kelso raised from the Sweater McGinnis Hatch cock and his own hens. Cecil got this cock from Doc Robinson, who also walked cocks for Mr. Kelso. The cock was yellow legged and pea combed. Cecil bred him to five of his out-and-out Kelso hens. The offspring from this mating were the foundation of the Sweaters. They were called Sweaters because the Hatch cock from Sweater McGinnis was their grandfather. As the above indicates, in breeding, they would be ¾ Kelso-¼ yellow legged Hatch. The original Sweaters were bred by Ira Parks, who was Johnny Jumper's brother-in-law, a very fine man and an excellent breeder of gamefowl. Ira, Johnny and Cecil were at the hub of a group of cockers in northern Mississippi and Tennessee who were friends and cocking partners. Several of this group got Sweaters from the original mating. Some of these friends have bred the Sweaters without addition of outside blood and have them in their purity today. Other breeders have added infusions of other blood to their Sweaters. The line of Sweaters which is bringing the breed such popularity today came from Roy Brady, who got some of the first mating of Sweaters, to Sonny Ware, to Odis Chappell, to Carol Nesmith and the Browns of Mississippi. Odis Chappell let a number of friends in addition to Carol, have his Sweaters, so the blood has been distributed rather widely in central Alabama in recent years. It has been excellent blood for all who got it. This line of Sweaters produces occasional green legged offspring, usually pullets. When asked about his, Roy Brady said that at one time some Hatch was bred into this line. This line is said also to carry small amount of Radio blood. The Sweaters described in this article are typically orange-red to light red in color, with yellow legs and pea combs. Of interest, however, Dolan Owens of Booneville, Mississippi, acquired some of the early Sweaters and has bred them to come uniformly dark, wine red in color, straight comb and white legged. In looks, these two lines of Sweaters show almost no resemblance. This is an example of how a family of fowl can be bred toward different standards by different breeders and In a few generations the two lines will be like two different breeds. Sonny Ware bred some Radio into the Sweaters making them pumpkin in color. Most people like this color better and breed to that end.

Lun Gilmore was a cocker and a good friens of ben ford,they fought birds with and agianst each other for over 60 years..lun gilmore accired his birds direct from sanford hatch and mike kearny ...when mike crossed the kearny brown reds on the hatch birds they were awsome as any ever bred til this day...sanford wanted to breed em back to the yellow legged side but mike insisted on breedin them one more time to the brown red side and produced them to fight.fight they did and won some derbies against everyone at that time,he wanted to breed a cock of his fathers breeding which was the kerany whitehackle to the sanford ,kerany,kerany breedings- from this breeding he had 17 black birds with white specs in them and over 40 brownred lookin birds,,he then crossed these back on the brown reds-having the kearny white hackle in them and hatch blood they came all dark fowl with green leggs-mike give lun glimore 6 hens and one dark red cock to breed over them=this was the origination of the gilmore hatch fowl -and the ben ford fowl-these birds was given and sold to gilmore from mr hatch and mike kearny...it did kearny mike s fathers blood -mike kearny sr white hackle blood in them and still till this day they will come spangle or dark ...!the next breeding that was the brown red and kearny out and out became the 42 hatch that jd perry dominated with-same fowl from same people except did not have the kearny white hackle in them...but mostly yellow leg ,and the black leggs made em all come od green legged.......believe it or not.....i knew collonel givens for over 40 years and he got his from lun gilmore in the early 40s and also got some of mike kearny jrs white hackles that was dark red and spangled.....and fought the kearny white hackle crosses at sunset and all over north alabama.....collenol givens and jimmy east were the handlers for john ovilan fowler from huntsville ala.when john fowler died jimmy kept has hatch birds and collenol givens kept the white hackles.....so the gilmores are 1/4 kearny whirte hackle-1/4 hatch- 1/2 brown red bred back to the 1/2 hatch 1/2 brown red and kept that way until he passed on- - - - still til this day all gilmores will throw a spangle every other year or so....depends on how there bred and where ya got them- - - so there is your facts- believe it or not- - - but if ya didnt get em from gilmore there yours MR KELSO* MADDIGAN*LAW*KEARNY*MORGAN* O 'CONNOR....there your birds- heres ya sign.......! before i forget...the mike kearny brown reds and the sanford duryeas crossed were very good fowl and after they bred em back makin the 42s the breeding back to the p combed hatch side was the ones they gave Ted McClain, and Thodore Mc Lean two seperate men...and the ones that were 3/4 hatch-duryeas and 1/4 kearny were the left nose hatch of the late Sweater Mc Guiness....Marvin anderson was in ww! with sanford hatch and become friensds in 1910 were they fought in north alabama in long heel mains which was all new to the short heelers....marvin s father had the Kelcy patts from ireland and sanford hatch fell in love with the long heel roosters....sanford gave birds to marvin untill his death,and marvin gave the patties to sanford upon any request of these men....and they whipped all round head fowl those days. which was dominating the early years....judge lacy was makin a statement at this time and was winning more than average in alabama and at the agusta tounaments.....the Kelcy Pattswere brought from ireland by marvins grandfather well before the civil war......no one knew there originality.... strait combed,lemon hackled,bigg thighs and wide backs and spangles came dark red with lemon around the bottom of the shaw.......the photographs are all black n white.....marvin lost them over the years do to hawks and eagles in the mountain areas of north east alabama....he owned the ranburne pit which was shut down in 73 due to his health...........

By Harry Parr, November 1977
Interest in the breeding of game fowl strains has always run high even though the knowledge thereof seldom has any practical application. I have been asked many times to set forth the breeding of the Mclean Hatch and their offshoot, the Blue Face family. This I have done briefly in letters and countless times orally. It is amazing how twisted these accounts become. So, since this subject appears still to hold the interest of many, I have decided to write down the facts for one and all. Although Ted Mclean has been out of the "chicken business" since December of 1954 at which time he gave me all his fowl, he is still very much with us. I mention this only because I have seen too many "histories" come out when it is too late for the facts to be verified by the principles involved. Further, the following is being written with my notes and breeding records before me and this paper will be limited to first hand information. Finally, lest anyone think there is an ulterior motive involved, my chickens are my hobby. I keep only enough for my purposes and have never, nor do I ever contemplate selling them. In the early thirties, Mr. E.S. Hatch and Mr. E.T. Mclean were on the floor of the stock exchange. That Mr. Hatch gave Ted Mclean fowl is the testimony enough of their friendship, as it is well known that Mr. Hatch did not let many go. At the time, Mr. Hatch's fowl consisted of four basic bloodlines. These were the Kearney fowl made up of the two strains Mike Kearny brought from Ireland, namely (1) the "beasy" Breasted Light Reds (Whitehackles) and (2) the Brown Breasted Reds, plus (3) the Herman Duryea fowl (commonly called Boston Roundheads) which he added when he worked for Mr. Duryea. With these bloodlines Mr. Hatch incorporated (4) the green leg Thomson (Jim Thomson) fowl. I might say here that from then till now, the strain made up of these four bloodlines is what Ted and I call the "straight stuff". In those days virtually all the fighting in the North East was done in inch and a quarter, heavy, slow heels, which is not surprising considering the cockers prime requisite, was gameness. It followed the toughness and power was high priorities and the Hatch fowl had all these in abundance. While they surely did not compile a great winning record, they were admired by name for these attributes. Fortunately, Ted Mclean kept this set of priorities or the "straight stuff' would have long since gone by the boards. For in addition to these attributes, the Mclean Hatch are poor cutters, low headed dumb fighters, that usually take two or three shots before unleashing one of their patented hay makers. Obviously as the heels got faster their ability to win lessened, so they are useless now if fought pure. Their value then, is only as an ingredient to produce battle cocks. Ted Mclean bought "Gamecock Farm" in Maryland and built one of the best all around chicken plants I have ever seen. He gave me a trio of his Hatch fowl in 1948 and shortly thereafter I bought a farm within a short distance from his. I suppose I was at Gamecock Farm a couple of times a week and everyday during fighting season, because we fought a heavy schedule and chickens were almost always in the cock house for conditioning. At least one experimental cross was tried each year and many produced superior battle cocks, but as soon as one quit, all chickens containing that blood, came under the axe. I saw an awful lot of chickens killed and when he retired from the game in 1954 and only the "straight stuff" remained. All of these fowl were given to me.

With a second winter weather system heading toward the state, the Carolina Lowcountry Chapter of the American Red Cross is urging residents to take steps now to stay safe when severe weather threatens.
We are watching this storm system closely and urging everyone to have a plan for severe weather, Red Cross Palmetto SC CEO Louise Welch Williams said. The weather models are showing a wintery mix with freezing rain, snow, and ice for our area, so people need to prepare.
As with any disaster, preparation can be the difference between life and death. The Red Cross recommends individuals and families prepare for winter storms.
Assemble an emergency preparedness kit: Pack a winter-specific supply kit that includes a warm coat, hat, mittens or gloves, and water-resistant boots, along with extra blankets and extra warm clothing. Sand or non-clumping kitty litter is good to have on hand to help make walkways or steps less slippery. Make sure you have a first aid kit and essential medications, canned food and can opener, bottled water, flashlights and a battery-powered radio with extra batteries in your home in the event of a power outage.
Heed storm warnings: A winter storm watch means winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. People in a watch area should review their winter storm plans and stay informed about weather conditions via NOAA Weather radio, or local radio or television stations. A winter storm warning means that life-threatening, severe winter conditions have begun or will begin within 24 hours. Individuals in a warning area should take precautions immediately.
For safe winter driving, the best thing to do during a winter storm is stay off the roads if possible. If you have to drive, the Red Cross offers these tips about how to drive safely during a winter storm or what to do if you become stuck in your vehicle:
Make sure your vehicle is ready for winter with a window scraper, kitty litter or sand in case you get stuck, extra clothes and a disaster supply kit in your trunk. Pack high-protein snacks, water, first aid kit, flashlight, small battery-operated radio, an emergency contact card with names and phone numbers, extra prescription medications, blankets and important documents or information you may need.
Fill the vehicles gas tank and clean the lights and windows to help you see.
Find out what disasters may occur where you are traveling and pay attention to the weather forecast. Before you leave, let someone know where you are going, the route you plan to take, and when you expect to get there. If your car gets stuck, help can be sent along your predetermined route.
If you can, avoid driving in sleet, freezing rain, snow or dense fog. If you have to drive, make sure everyone has their seat belts on and give your full attention to the road. Avoid distractions such as cell phones.
Dont follow other vehicles too closely. Sudden stops are difficult on snowy roadways.
Dont use cruise control when driving in winter weather.

MWF Microbiology: Monitoring Microbial Contamination
Instructor: Dr. Fred Passman, BCA, Inc.
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 12-1:00 p.m. CST, with optional Q&A from 1-1:30
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
This presentation builds on the foundation laid during the MWF Microbiology Basics webinar. However, it is also useful as a stand-alone program.
Condition monitoring (CM) for microbial contamination shares common features with other routinely performed MWF CM. However, there are several concepts that are unique to microbiological sample collection, handling, testing and data interpretation. Optimal MWF management depends on understanding these unique concepts. During this webinar, Dr. Passman will provide a very brief overview of the microbiology basics as a refresher for those who have participated in the earlier webinar and a means of bringing newcomers up to speed.
He'll then discuss some of the most critical elements of microbiological sample collection. The underlying concept behind this information is that the microbiology of the bulk MWF is very different from that of surface and aerosol samples. Low numbers of microbes in bulk fluid samples can give a false sense of effective contamination control. Moreover, samples intended for microbiological testing are quite perishable and need to be handled accordingly. Dr. Passman will describe best practices for handling microbiological samples from time of sampling to the initiation of testing.
The greatest portion of the webinar will focus on a discussion of the methods that are most useful for microbiological CM. There is no single microbiological test that provides all of the relevant information about MWF microbial contamination. Dr. Passman will describe the methods, the type and value of information each method can and can't provide and best use of data for system management.
Although the webinar won't discuss strategies for controlling microbial growth, it will provide the foundation of information needed to help plant operators and fluid managers to design cost-effect condition monitoring and microbial contamination control progams.
Dr. Passman is an STLE Fellow and Certified Metalworking Fluids Specialist with 35 years' experience in environmental-industrial microbiology. Since 1973, Dr. Passman has conducted research and consulted to government and private industry on topics as diverse as composting municipal sewage sludge, U.S. EPA criteria for various groups of toxic substances in fresh-water systems, microbially enhanced oil recovery, and microbial contamination control in industrial process-fluids. He is a member of numerous professional and trade organizations including ASTM and STLE. Within STLE, he is currently the Chair of the Education and Certification Harmonization Ad Hoc Committee. Dr. Passman is Chair of ASTM Subcommittee E.34.50 Health and Safety of Metalworking Fluids, Vice-chair of ASTM Committee E34 Occupational Health and Safety and is an active member of E.35.15 Antimicrobial Pesticides. He has drafted ASTM Standards for each of these committees. Dr. Passman has twice received STLE's Wilber Deutsch Memorial Award for writing excellence, and is a recipient of STLE's P.M. Ku Award. He has more than 40 publications to his name.

Things I liked:Metal upper receiver construction, realistic weight.
Things I would have changed:Nothing really.
What others should know:Mine came with three high cap magazines! It does have a faux wood finish, but you would not know from looking at it. The detachable rail system is a nice plus. Very good value, had it in the field this past weekend and it rocked hard for over 2 hours. Get a Specter Gear 3 point sling.
Things I liked:Fast rate of fier, sounds like it has power behind it. Realistic look and feel.
Things I would have changed:Magazine and rifle stock have way too much play in them. So I would tighten them up or change the materials used.
What others should know:I got mine today and couldnt wait to take it out for field testing. I did and was a bit dissapointed. My rifle DOES NOT fire in semi-auto. I dont know if its an issue with the gear box or the manufacturing. Occasionally, the gear box seemed to jam or fail altogether. Accuracy seemed pretty decent and I didnt reallt take the time to site it in. Seems you need to have at least 50 rounds or more or the mags wont feed bb's anymore. As J.M. Shneider said "You can taste the difference quality makes!". This folks, is not a quality gun. Pretty dissapointed for what I was expecting. Looks better than a Canadian tire gun, but the overall performance just wasnt what I was expecting. Maybe I just got a bad gun?
Things I liked:Well built.Site rail allows holographic 4 recticle site.Looks real.Hits hard and very accurate with a good 130ft+ range.
Things I would have changed:Provide a heavy duty shoulder strap.
What others should know:Tighten all screws to gun including sling straps.Mag tensioner needs attension often.Installing site rail,spring loaded round nut can be adjusted for a rock solid mount.Keep an eye on the butt plate.Can be knocked off.
Does this have real wood/metal?

It was a strong start to the Aiken eventing season on Sunday as the Full Gallop Farm Horse Trials featured riders going beginner novice through intermediate. Aiken-based Gagne International Stables' J.F. Gagne and GWF Sporthorses Sherry Hill can usually be found in the show jumping ring, but they were among the riders competing at Full Gallop, with Gagne going novice on Sherry Poplin's mare PF Hala Dyanmo, and Hill having the catch ride on Donatella, the mare being owned by one of Gagne's clients in Canada, with the rider/horse combination going beginner novice.
The two horseman had evented previously before transitioning to show jumping, and directed much of their energies on Saturday to dressage.
"We probably did like 20 horses, no stirrups, a lot of sitting trot, which we show jumpers aren't used to," said Hill.
The challenge of being strong in all three phases of eventing was one that the riders readily embraced.
"You have to have a horse that moves well enough for dressage, has enough blood for cross country, and then be rideable enough for stadium," said Hill. "She's dressage blood, but she's very young and green. This is is her first show."
Gagne and PF Hala Dyanmo, or Haley Dynamo, a six-year-old Arabian-Hanoverian cross, went novice on Sunday.
"This is a very willing and athletic horse," said Gagne. "It's great to have good owners and horses."
The riders found themselves having to adjust to the size of the dressage ring.
"It's pretty rare in show jumping that we find ourselves having to do flat work or jumping in such a small area, but it actually helped us in keeping everything structured, said Gagne.
However, the riders did find themselves making a number of adjustments as the day went on. Cross country provided the horsemen with a number of challenges.
"We needed a little bit more pace to find the jumps right out of stride, and to keep the horses forward and brave throughout the whole course, and not to take too much out of the horses in the first half of the course because there's 17 jumping efforts," said Gagne. "You have to be able to save your horse and keep them brave throughout the whole thing."

Ida Kaminska (1899-1980): Grande Dame of the Yiddish Theater, opened in May 2001 at the Center for Jewish History. Curated by YIVO Archivist Krysia Fisher, it chronicled the life and career of Ida Kaminska, daughter of the great Yiddish actress Esther-Rachel Kaminska, co-founder of the VIKT (Warsaw Yiddish Art Theater), and after World War II, the director of the Warsaw State Jewish State Theater.
The exhibition traced the life of Ida Kaminska from 1923-24, when she and her husband, Zygmunt Turkow, established their Warsaw Yiddish Art Theater (WIKT) ensemble, to the post-war period, when she and her second husband, Meir Melman, founded the Jewish State Theater in Warsaw. Kaminska's fame was enhanced by her film work. Her most famous crossover role was in the Oscar-winning The Shop on Main Street. In 1968, Kaminska and Melman left Poland to settle in the United States.
Ida Kaminska (1899-1980): Grande Dame of the Yiddish Theater was made possible by the generous support of Ewa and Jozef Blass and Victor Markowwicz.
The exhibition was accompanied by a catalog with essays by Krysia Fisher, Dr. Michael C. Steinlauf, and Henryk Grynberg. The catalog is available for purchase at the Center's Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Book Store.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Keuka College made a clean sweep of their three matches this season against Hilbert College in women's volleyball. The Storm's Devan Curtis and Paige Golden each finished with 8 kills but it was Brittany Smyder who led the visitors in hitting percentage (0.353) to take a 3-0 victory September 26. Hilbert drops to 2-7 with the non-conference loss to Keuka who is on a roll this season winning their 7th game in 10 starts.
Hilbert played a competitive first and third set, losing both by the score of 25-22. But in their second and most important set to play, the Hawks came out flat and surrendered an 8 point lead which they never recovered from (25-14).
Freshman Jordan Botsford finished with 7 kills, one more than sophomore Chelsea Reischuck. Sweet Home's Shannon Memminger earned three aces and 19 assists.
The Hawks next match is against cross town, and AMCC rival Medaille College in North Buffalo. Game time is scheduled for 7pm September 28 in the Sullivan Center.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

- EGFL7 regulates adult neural stem cell maintenance and differentiation by inhibition of Notch1 (2010)
- In neurobiology the preexisting dogma on the unchangeability of the adult mammalian brain and its inability to give rise to new neurons has been challenged since the early nineties. Generally, it is now accepted that neurogenesis persists in adults. Progress in developmental and stem cell biology in recent years led to an increasing interest in regeneration-based treatment strategies for damaged tissue of the central nervous system. Thus, the enhancement of the endogenous potential of the brain to repair itself is potentially a feasible therapeutic strategy to treat various types of brain damage. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand the molecular mechanism that regulate adult neurogenesis. One of the prominent pathways suggested to be involved here is the Notch signaling cascade. Previously, it has been shown that various components of Notch signaling are expressed in the stem cell niche of the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) in vivo. Interestingly, a recent study demonstrated that the self-renewal potential of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) isolated from the SVZ depend on Notch signaling in vitro. Recently, we identified a novel non-canonical Notch ligand termed epidermal growth factor-like domain 7 (EGFL7), which was originally described as a protein secreted by endothelial cells and functionally implicated in cellular responses of the vascular system such as cell migration and blood vessel formation. We were able to show that secreted EGFL7 binds to a region in Notch that is involved in ligand-mediated receptor activation, thus acting as an antagonist of Notch signaling. The present study identifies neurons of the human and murine brain as a novel source of EGFL7, which suggests functions of EGFL7 in the neural system. Expression analyses by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed EGFL7 is down regulated in the adult SVZ, which suggests that endogenous EGFL7 may act as a Notch modulator of NSCs. We assessed the expression of Notch pathway components in adult NSCs isolated from the SVZ of adult mice and demonstrated that inhibition of Notch activity by the γ-secretase inhibitor DAPT reduced the self-renewal potential of NSCs. Accordingly, adenoviral-mediated expression of EGFL7 in vitro decreased Notch-specific signaling and reduced proliferation and self-renewal of NSCs. Conversely, activation of Notch by a constitutive active form of Notch (NICD) rescued the EGFL7-mediated reduction of NSC self-renewal verifying that this effect was directly linked to Notch signaling. Congruent to the reduced proliferation rate measured in vitro, induced expression of EGFL7 in vivo significantly reduced the number of Ki-67 positive cells within the SVZ upon cerebroventricular injection of EGFL7 adenovirus. Expression analyses in the developing brain showed single EGFL7-positive cells within the marginal zone of the neocortex as measured by in situ hybridization. These cells might be Cajal-Retzius cells, specialized neurons, which specifically express Reelin, which is a protein of the extracellular matrix known to control neuronal migration and differentiation. Interstingly, we could show that Reelin and EGFL7 are expressed in a subtype of neurons of the adult mouse cortex. This implied an interaction of both proteins and was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assays, suggesting an additional role for EGFL7 in neuronal maintenance. QRT-PCR based expression analyses in vitro comparing differentiated and non-differentiated NSCs displayed an increase in EGFL7 expression during the differentiation process, which was paralled by reduced Notch signaling. NSCs differentiated on coverslips coated with EGFL7 differentiated into all three cell types - neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. EGFL7 favored the formation of neurons as compared to control comparable to the effect of the Notch-inhibitor DAPT. Furthermore, additional oligodendrocytes were formed. These cells displayed a mature morphology with distinct sprouts and branches in contrast to the small and round oligodendrocytes that formed on control coverslips, which resembled us of precursor cells. Neurons and oligodendrocytes were formed at the expense of astrocytes. Congruently to the effect observed in vitro, adenoviral-based expression of EGFL7 in the SVZ yielded a slight induction of neuronal differentiation in vivo. Taken together, these results show for the first time a previously unrecognized role for EGFL7 in the brain by modulation of the Notch pathway in adult NSCs, which changes the proliferation and differentiation potential of adult NSCs in vitro and in vivo.

Brett Rogers appears to have been released from Bellator - Bloody Elbow
Following a 11 stint with the promotion, that saw him lose most recently to current heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov, it would appear that Rogers has been released from his Bellator contract. His profile has been removed from their website, and when asked about his next fight Rogers posted the following messages on his Twitter account:
Brett Rogers @Brettrogersmma
Looks like I'm gonna be fighting in Korea!!!!!

Middleweight Clifford Starks the latest fighter to be released from UFC roster
Report: Middleweight Clifford Starks the latest fighter to be released from UFC roster - MMAmania.com
According to a report from British news outlet MMA Opinion, the 32-year-old has been released from his UFC contract following a 92-second knockout loss to Yoel Romero at UFC on FOX 7: "Henderson vs. Melendez" on April 20, 2013.
Pair the MMA Opinion report with the fact Starks' profile is no longer on the organization's official website and it appears there is one less middleweight employed by the UFC.

The Black Cats striker admits Di Canio's authoritarian approach to management left players deflated and afraid to step out of line.
The Italian was, however, to pay the price for a disappointing start to the season and has since been replaced by the more relaxed regime of Poyet.
He has helped to lift spirits within the camp, with Fletcher among those to have welcomed a much-needed change in the dugout.
Ahead of Sunday's Wear-Tyne derby clash with Newcastle United, he told The Sun: "The difference between the two managers is like night and day. Gus has given the place a buzz again and it needed it.
"His staff like us to tell them their opinion - it's not just their way or no way."
Fletcher says that was the case under Di Canio, with strict rules making life a misery for those on the playing staff at the Stadium of Light.
He added: "You had a little laugh and you felt like the head teacher was going to shout at you.
"Paolo would be the first to admit it as well, he didn't want you to smile in training.
"We would end up not even speaking because we were scared to say anything in case he cracks up at you. It got to the point where you didn't want to talk to each other because you just couldn't be bothered with the hassle.
"The boys would come in, get a shower and leave because they just wanted to get away. It wasn't a nice place to be.
"He could have become a Sunderland legend because the fans loved him. But the players never did and it is the players that need to like him."

Counting Crows to swoop into SylvaniaWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
On "Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation)," Counting Crows refract 15 tracks, bending a few favorite songs to create big, bright waves of sound.
Adam Duritz said the group had fun covering songs — and found freedom.
"It was such a great liberating thing to get to work with so many other songwriters, in a way. I mean, it was like collaborating with people without them being there," he said during a teleconference with some 30 media outlets, including Toledo Free Press.
"Something happened when we made that record. I mean, we just played differently and I'm not sure why, but it affected everybody," he said. "There was something that was completely liberating about not doing my songs, about just like the fact that the guy that wrote them wasn't necessarily standing in the room with you and wasn't necessarily a guy you'd known for all these years, so you owed less to them, in a way.
"I don't know what happened with everybody, but everybody loosened up in some way. It was really creative, including [for] me. Like, I love the singing on this record; I love the vocals on this record."
And he loves listening to the disc, which features songs by Pure Prairie League, Tender Mercies, Fairport Convention, Travis, Bob Dylan, Teenage Fanclub, Faces, Gram Parsons, Big Star and others.
"I feel like putting it on sometimes, walking around the city listening to it. I dig it. It just keeps surprising me," Duritz said.
The singer-songwriter and the band — drummer Jim Bogios, keyboardist Charlie Gillingham, bassist Millard Powers, and guitarists David Bryson, David Immerglück and Dan Vickrey — are hitting the road in support of their first independent release, which came out in April.
"We were looking for just not playing the sort of same old cookie-cutter venues that everybody goes to. We wanted venues that were a little bit more fun to play and also maybe a little more fun for an audience because we want people to be coming out early and checking out all these bands," he said.
Counting Crows will bring the Outlaw Road Show to Centennial Terrace in Sylvania for a 7 p.m. concert June 16. Special guests will be Good Old War, Foreign Fields and Filligar. Tickets range from $35 to $85. Gates open at 5:30 p.m.
The front man with the famous dreads said the group likes to wing it and writes the set list right before the show.
That list might not feature all the rockers' hits, which include "Mr. Jones," "Rain King," "Hangin' Around," "Accidentally in Love," "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Round Here."
"If I'm tired of playing something, I'm not going to play it because I think that's going to make a bad show," Duritz said.
"You don't owe [fans] songs, but you do owe them a quality performance, and I think the best way to do that is to, like, make sure that you're fully invested in everything you're doing. And it's art, so you can't necessarily guarantee you're going to be fully invested in somebody else's suggestions, but you can pretty much guarantee you'll be invested in yours.
"And I think we've stuck by that fairly religiously over the years, and I think it's really paid off for us because I still like playing 'Mr. Jones' as opposed to a lot of people I know who have that kind of song in their catalog who just don't want to play [it]."

Phoenix Zoo tiger picks Oregon to win Fiesta Bowl
The Oregon Ducks now have the blessing of a Phoenix tiger.
Hadiah, the Phoenix Zoo's Sumatran tiger, on Wednesday picked the Oregon Ducks to beat the Kansas State Wildcats in Thursday's Tostitos Fiesta Bowl football game.
Phoenix Zoo spokeswoman Linda Hardwick explains how Hadiah made her pick.
"We had two cardboard boxes with the logo of each team on them," she said. "Inside the box, we put the same amount of fish and meat. We button those up, the zoo keeper then goes back inside and releases the tiger into the area. Whichever box the tiger touches first, that's who the winner of the bowl game is."
Hadiah touched the Oregon box first, making the Ducks the winner. The tiger then immediately walked over to the Kansas State box, took the food out and devoured it. Several minutes later, she returned to the Oregon box and ate what was inside.
So far, Hadiah has a record of 2-1 in picking bowl game winners, dating back to last year. She correctly predicted Michigan State to win last week's Buffalo Wild Wings bowl at Sun Devil Stadium.
