Dealing with injuries
The loss of slot receiver Cameron Colvin hurts because he was coming into his own replacing the valuable Brian Paysinger, lost earlier in the season. UO coach Mike Bellotti said that tight end Ed Dickson is able to do the same kinds of things Colvin did in blocking the option and running seam and inside routes, both from a tight end position and in the slot. It helps to have a bigger receiver in that position because of the match ups that occur with linebackers and safeties trying to cover them, and to provide a larger target for the quarterback. As for the option, the inside receiver (closest to quarterback) to each side of the formation is the "point man" for the play. His block may be the most important in breaking a runner for a long gain. Look for the Ducks to spring their pitch man on the option soon, as defenses have been continually hurt by the inside (dive) part of the play.
With the season-ending injuries to Colvin and running back Jeremiah Johnson, the first thing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly does is look at his formations and how Dickson, who is blossoming as a blocker and receiver, can fill in at Colvin's various positions in different formations: There are similarities which should not take additional learning. As a matter of fact, this allows the opportunity of presenting some new looks.
Colvin's injury should also mean more time for sophomore Rory Cavaille, who has good size (6-foot-3, 210). There will also be the need to physically and mentally prepare backups, who were third-string before, at both tight end and wide receiver.
In most cases when a young running back, (such as Andre Crenshaw), replaces an injured, more experienced player (such as Johnson), the former backkp doesn't measure up as much as a blocker or receiver. However, UO running backs coach Gary Campbell pointed out that Crenshaw is considered better in those areas than Johnson, so there should not be a fall off in production at that position. Remene Altson, a redshirtfreshman, steps up behind Crenshaw.
Psychologically, there are two concerns after injuries: The coaches want to ensure continuity, so that the team's confidence, and especially the offense's confidence, remains high. It has taken spring ball, fall practice and six games to get it where it is now. The backup players need to be put in the best possible position to get some success early, to build the confidence of those players and the team.
This may affect the play calling, compared with the first half of the season, or it may not. Make no mistake, confidence is one reason the Ducks are where they're at right now. It took a lot of hard work and repetition to get there. If things don't go well (penalties, turnovers), that could bring the offense to a grinding halt. The confidence that was so apparent in dealing with the adversity at Stanford earlier in the season is much more vulnerable now, and both the coaches and players know it.
The second concern is replacing two very popular and inspirational players. But the survivors have to carry on the best way they know how, and this can be painful, no matter what the results.
No one on the present Oregon Duck football team has played against Washington in Husky Stadium. As such, the Ducks need to be prepared psychologically for an imposing stadium and intense playing environment. It will likely be wet and cold with a brisk wind off Lake Washington at game time and a frenzied crowd anxious for an upset. Jim Radcliffe, strength coach, said he gathered a group of players to let them know what it's like: "Everyone knows Oregon State, our rival, and you really learn what that is all about when you play them in Corvallis. We've had to remind our players that the Huskies are just as much our rivals as the Beavers."
John Neal, the UO secondary coach, calls the Huskies' Jake Locker "the best looking quarterback I've ever seen." Locker, a redshirt freshman, is UW's leading rusher, but has thrown eight interceptions. "Sometimes, it looks like he's so programmed in on his receivers, he doesn't see defenders," observed Neal. The talent of vision is real, and because high school defense isn't as fast as the college level, a young quarterback's field of vision tends to be narrow. With experience, repetitions, and unfortunately, interceptions (painful, but the best learning experiences), quarterbacks are able to widen their field of vision. Once they get to the pro level, the same learning process occurs all over again.
Ken Woody is a former Fox Sports football commentator who played defensive back, receiver and kicker for Oregon from 1966 to 1970. He coached college football for 18 years, including stints as an assistant coach at Oregon, Washington, WSU and Utah State, and was head coach at Whitman College and Washington University-St. Louis.

UV Protective Clothing
– One of the greatest barriers you can erect in the face of the sun's dangerous UV rays is a covering of clothing: wide-brimmed hats and long-sleeved shirts and pants. While any kind of fabric offers some degree of defense from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, UV protective clothing is specially manufactured and treated for optimum shielding and is an option worth considering for anyone who spends much time outside.

The danger is real. Some 90 percent of skin-cancer cases in the U.S. stem from sun exposure. Other effects of prolonged sun exposure include sunburn and photo-aging. Two kinds of UV radiation, distinguished by their wavelengths, threaten humans: ultraviolet A (UVA), the most common, and ultraviolet B (UVB), much of which, but not all, is absorbed in the planet's ozone layer (a third kind of radiation, ultraviolet C, is exceedingly harmful, but the ozone layer absorbs it before it reaches the surface).
- chosen and used appropriately - can make a big difference in repelling UV radiation, but many people fail to apply it liberally and frequently enough to adequately protect themselves. We may also neglect to apply protection on overcast days, although dangerous reflected UV radiation can still be a factor then.
When UV radiation hits fabric, it tends to dissipate in destructive power, but that fabric's make and design hugely influence how well it shields. Specialized features exhibited by UVprotective clothing may include particularly dense knits or weaves and radiation-blocking dyes and chemical treatments. Certain fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, are better than others at shielding skin from UV light.
Garments are rated with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor, or UPF, that reflects the extent of their UV-shielding capabilities. The higher the rating, the better. The UPF categories range from "good" (UPF 15-24); "very good" (UPF 25-39); and "excellent" (40-50+). The actual numbers used relate to the proportion of available UV radiation that can penetrate through the fabric.
Here at drugstore.com, we provide a broad selection of UV protective clothing in the
sun care
collection. Look above all for the UPF rating. Don't neglect head covering: wide-brimmed and "legionnaire-style" billed hats protect your hair, the crown of your head, face, neck, and shoulders - critical areas that often receive the brunt of sun exposure.
While UV protective clothing is a fine choice for shielding yourself from the sun, it's not the only line of defense you should pursue. If you can, stay inside or in shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the interval when radiation is typically most intense. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a handy rule of thumb if you're without a timepiece: if you're taller than your shadow, you should get out of the sun. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of adequate strength, and reapply regularly. Remember that surfaces such as water and snow reflect sunlight with particular intensity, so take extra care to swath yourself in protective clothing and sunscreen when boating, skiing and the like.
Don't take chances with UV radiation. Alongside sensible behavioral practices and the use of sunscreen, consider UV-protective clothing so you can enjoy some peace of mind when adventuring - and relaxing - in the great outdoors.

Why Mitt Romney Needs To Talk Openly About His Mormon Faith
February 06, 2012
In the current presidential election campaign, many, if not most, Americans are expecting that Mitt Romney's quest for the White House will be buffeted by questions about his religion. How to handle Romney's Mormonism has proved especially vexing, both for the candidate and for the electorate. It's worth considering exactly why that's the case. The essential question, from the perspective of many voters, concerns the very nature of Mormonism, an upstart religion born in western New York in 1830 and persecuted for much of the nineteenth century.

David Thomson on Films: 'Page Eight,' a Small Screen Movie That's Nonetheless About Large Issues
November 10, 2011
Page Eight gives every sign of being a momentous television event. It is a debut outing for "Masterpiece Contemporary" on PBS. Some of the color photography, by Martin Ruhe, is exquisite but sinister—there's a bruised sky against college masonry in Cambridge that escapes the usual proviso that television cannot be "beautiful" without seeming picturesque. The subject matter turns on such large issues as security, intelligence, Intelligence, honor, and love. The cast is so daunting it makes you keep an open mind about which characters are not to be trusted.

In London, George Eliot was writing Daniel Deronda; in Paris, Henry James was writing Roderick Hudson. The majestic Nineteenth Century was everywhere.

New Orleans Postcard
August 14, 2006
My wife and I were about to put our house on the market before Hurricane Katrina. I remind myself of this as we contemplate an act that has taken on the trappings of civic treachery--putting our house on the market now, a year after Katrina. It's true: We really were talking to realtors last summer. It was time to downsize, we said. Empty-nest syndrome, we said. That was our cover. Secretly, we were a bit freaked out about hurricanes even before Katrina. (At least I was.) Not so secretly, we were certain the national real estate bubble had reached its soapy and iridescent limit.

"Did you see the gas vans?" Claude Lanzmann asks Mrs. Michelsohn, an old German woman, in his film Shoah. Mrs. Michelsohn lived in Chelmno, 50 yards from the spot where Jews were loaded onto the vans at the Nazi extermination center. "No," she answers at first, with a look of annoyance. Then her face registers the recognition that Lanzmann and his movie cameras will not be deflected. "Yes," she acknowledges, she saw the vans, "from the outside. They shuttled back and forth. I never looked inside; I didn't see the Jews in them.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Police Commissioner Ray Kelly needs to be the next mayor of New York City.
If he runs, elect him by a landslide. If he doesn't, write him in anyway.
God forbid he dies before 2013, but we could work around it. You've seen "Weekend at Bernie's," right?
There really is no alternative. Actually there is, but you don't want to know.
OK, since you asked...
If Kelly doesn't run, New Yorkers will face the unsightly, unseemly, unfathomable choice of two Wall Street losers.
In one corner, there's Eliot Spitzer, the disgraced former New York governor and attorney general.
In the other corner, there's Dick Grasso, the disgraced former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.
You were warned.
This nightmare scenario is a lot closer than you may think. Spitzer, who seems to think his CNN talk show has given him some kind of redemption from his hooker scandal a few years ago, hinted last month that he will make a run when Michael Bloomberg calls it quits in 2013. Watch Spitzer sort of dodge the question on his show.
That prompted Grasso, speaking at Wagner College last week, to throw his own scalp into the ring. "I will run for mayor of the City of New York," he said conditionally — if Kelly doesn't run and Spitzer does.
Let's hope for both of their sakes that it's just the ego talking. Spitzer's approval ratings were at 35% even before his prostitution revelations became public. Grasso couldn't survive a confidence vote of the NYSE cronies who gave him a $187 million compensation package.
You'd have to look pretty far to find a field that could lose to these guys. Mark Green comes to mind. The Gadhafis might be available. Or Sen. John Kerry. How about Donald Trump?
Really, no one in his or her right mind would think this was possible. But we've seen some strange things happen in politics before. Marion Barry was re-elected mayor of Washington after getting busted with a nose full of cocaine and serving a jail sentence.

Yum Alert: A Welcome Alternative to EggnogBy emilyc • Dec 21st, 2012 • Category: Alcohol, Dining, Food, FOOD AND TRAVEL, Recipes
I love a good eggnog, but sometimes I wonder why it's customary to chase rich, creamy, heavy holiday foods with a drink made with heavy cream and eggs. The Houndstooth cocktail made with ever-refreshing BULLDOG Gin is basically the antithesis of eggnog, which is most likely the kind of cocktail you'll want once you're settled into a holiday food coma.
The Houndstooth
1 ½ oz. (45 ml) BULLDOG Gin
¾ oz. ( 20 ml) Endive Syrup
½ oz. (15 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
Dash of Celery Bitters
8 Grape Tomatoes
4 Basil Leaves
Endive Spear (garnish)

How do I add a note to a task?
Asked on Dec 08, 2011 - 14:05 UTC
I am a premium member, and one of the reasons I signed up was the notes feature. However, I've searched high and low and can't see how to do it. Nor is it listed anywhere in help or support that I can find. So -- help! I need support! :-)
All responses
Replied on Dec 08, 2011 - 14:07 UTC
Okay ... I can answer my own question now. Hover over the task and see a little "call out" balloon (not the icon I would have used for a note, BTW). Click the balloon and up pops the note!
Would be helpful to add this to the help page somewhere obvious.

Peace Is Not Possible Now, Says Leader of America's Reform Jewry Yoffie Calls on Israel to Freeze All Settlement Construction, Urges Bush Administration to Increase Mid-East Mediation
Full Text
(CLEVELAND, June 1, 2001) The leader of North America's Reform Jewish community tonight conceded "peace is probably not possible now" as he admitted he had been wrong to believe Yasser Arafat would live by the "normal standards of moral judgment."
"The masks are off, and the costume ball is over," said Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Somber and discouraged about the prospects for peace, Yoffie termed his speech a chesbon ha-nefesh, an accounting of the soul, as he spoke to the 225-members of the UAHC board who were worshipping with the Reform Jews of Cleveland's nine Reform synagogues.
Yoffie placed the blame directly on the shoulders of Arafat and other PLO leaders for nourishing a culture of hatred. At the same time, he was also critical of Israel for its behavior these past eight months. "Occupation involves acts of degradation and cruelty, and Israel's occupation has been no different," Yoffie said in his first major speech on Israel since the election of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "Her settlement policy, it often seems, is in the hands of fanatics."
Yoffie called on Israel to temporarily freeze all settlement construction "not because the Mitchell Commission wants it, or because the American government wants it, but because it is politically wise and morally right. At this moment, deepening or extending settlement simply does not serve Israel's interests."
Yoffie is the first major American Jewish leader to call on Israel to end settlement expansion since the recent outbreak of Palestinian violence.
And he urged the American government to take an active role, because an end to the violence and a return to negotiations can be achieved "only with American involvement," which he said is far preferable to intervention by a hostile United Nations.
But his harshest criticism was of the Palestinian leadership, which he called "one of the most stupid, murderous, and bloodthirsty national liberation movement in all of human history."
"We have believed, along with our allies in the peace camp, that if an Israeli prime minister would be brave enough to say that Israel must choose peace over territories, the Palestinian Authority would also choose peace," Yoffie said. However, "Yassir Arafat was still thirsty for blood and tears" when he rejected former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's offer of land for peace last summer, Yoffie said. Arafat "says he wants to talk, but he cannot expect to come to the table when he is covered in blood."
Yoffie conceded he had not paid nearly enough attention to the "culture of hatred created and nourished by Palestinian leaders." And, as a result, had not understood that peace is impossible as long as the Palestinians "continue to hate the very idea of the Jewish state."
Referring to the shocking and bewildering escalation of terror and violence perpetrated by Palestinians, Yoffie said the Palestinian leadership "barely bothers anymore to regret these atrocities, or to deny its own responsibility."
Yoffie said peace cannot be achieved until Arafat finds a way to speak the language of peace to his own people. "If he is ever to achieve the agreement he seeks, he must find a way to say to the citizens of Israel: 'You are here in this land by right, as we are. Welcome home.'"
Recalling the positions adopted over the past several years, Yoffie reiterated what the Reform Movement believes must occur if peace is to be achieved in the Middle East, namely:
While "security and survival receive absolute preference," Yoffie called on Reform Jews to "not put aside our religious concerns" in Israel, where the Reform Movement has been fighting to break the stranglehold of the Orthodox monopoly on religious matters, particularly on marriage and conversion issues.
"Israelis face a prolonged period of political uncertainty. Systems of meaning are needed at such times, to provide comfort and revive hope. And liberal Judaism can offer what secularism, classical Zionism, and Israeli Orthodoxy have all failed to provide," he said.
"Yes, we will defend Israel's body, but we will also nurture Israel's soul. And for this no apology is needed," Yoffie said.

Now the government-goons who molest little kids while claiming without a single blush that pedophilia is "proper procedure" are strip-searching grannies with the same excuse — even as they deny inflicting any such wickedness.
The latest brutality to catch the corporate media's attention features an 84-year-old woman who divides her time between New York's Long Island and Florida. Lenore Zimmerman wears a defibrillator, uses a walker and wheelchair, weighs less than 110 pounds and stands under 5 feet tall. She also boasts a nose for nonsense: "I really look like a terrorist," she sarcastically told New York's Daily News.
Ms. Zimmerman tried to catch a flight on November 29 from JFK to Fort Lauderdale and "asked if she could forgo the advanced image technology screening equipment [sic for 'carcinogenic porno-scanner'], fearing it might interfere with her defibrillator. She said she normally gets patted down [sic for 'sexually assaulted']. But this time, she says that two female agents escorted her to a private room and began to remove her clothes. 'I was outraged,' said Zimmerman, a retired receptionist."
Who wouldn't be? But that didn't end her travails: "As she tried to lift a lightweight walker off her lap, she says, the metal bars banged against her leg and blood trickled from a gash. 'My sock was soaked with blood,' she said. 'I was bleeding like a pig.' She says the TSA agents [sic for 'sociopaths'] showed no sympathy, instead pulling down her pants and asking [sic for 'brusquely ordering in stentorian tones,' or I miss my guess] her to raise her arms."

BMW and Toyota could be on the verge of announcing a new technology tie-up, according to reports out of Germany this week.
Deutsch paper Der Spiegel reports that the carmakers will soon announce plans to expand cooperation beyond battery development and diesel engines.
The report follows news in December that Toyota will source small diesel engines from BMW for its European-market models from 2014, in exchange for cooperation in the development of next-generation lithium-ion battery technology.
Details are thin on the ground, although reports out of Europe suggest that deepening ties between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Opel could see BMW move its focus on hybrid drivetrain development to Toyota and away from PSA.
Adding to speculation of an advanced green-technology partnership, Germany's Manager Magazine reports that BMW and Toyota will soon announce an alliance based on "joint projects in hybrid technology, fuel cells and vehicle electronics".
BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer and Toyota President Akio Toyoda will announce details in the near future, the magazine said.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Aaron French spends his school-year running from classes and chemistry labs to, well, running cross country and track, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. It's no wonder that the sophomore chemistry major from northern Wisconsin was named the 2012-2013 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
"For me, personally, being an athlete has helped me to be a better student," said French. "To compete well as an athlete you need dedication and discipline. That same dedication and discipline can roll right over into your academic life."
This year, French, a sophomore who plans to pursue a doctorate in chemistry with a potential focus on energy research, took Organic Chemistry, traditionally one of the most grueling required classes for chemistry majors. It was the Philosophy of Being course, however, that turned out to be even more difficult, as it required him to wrestle with questions outside the realm of analytical problem-solving.
"As a science major, I'm grateful for the Core," French said. "It forms an integral part of who we are as citizens of the United States and Western culture as a whole."
French is also grateful for the bond he has formed with his teammates and for the sense of place that comes with competing for a university.
"You practice together. You travel and eat together. You sweat and suffer pain together. That binds you in a special way, like another family," he said.
The award is given annually to the letter-winning varsity student-athlete with the highest GPA. Greg Roper '84, associate professor and chair of English, earned UD's first Scholar-Athlete of the Year for his academic performance and his contributions to the men's soccer team.

Hudson River Almanac January 8 - January 14, 2013
This week was marked by atypical winter weather and reports of wildlife's predictable response. The possibility of climate change effects weave their way into these discussions, as do reminiscences of the good old days when winters were winters.
1/12 - Metro North Hudson Line; HRM 34-11: Glued to the riverside window of my commuter car, a nice clean one for a change, I could not help myself on the run from Grand Central Station in Manhattan to the Croton-Harmon station 33 miles north - I had to look. As it turned out, this was not a great run, the result of the mild winter - no ice on the river and very few birds to see. The days of great rafts of thousands of scaup and canvasback ducks are past. I had to be content with the river view and with fifteen species of birds. In a normal winter, I would have expected several dozen bald eagles to be riding the ice, soaring, or perched in trees. I was pleased to spot just one, as the train slowly rolled into the Croton-Harmon station.
- Christopher Letts
1/8 - Norrie Point, HRM 85: In less than two hours at midday, I spotted four bald eagles: two adults flying up the river and then perched on the western shore, and two immatures chasing one another just south of Norrie Point.
- Jim Herrington
1/8 - Stanfordville, HRM 84: My backyard barred owl had moved on to a new day roost; it was such a delight to have him out there in plain view for a few days. Today's visitors to the feeders: a mob of common redpolls. They are so cute!
- Deb Kral
1/8 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 69: At midday from across the Hudson, I spotted one of the resident adult bald eagles perched at the edge of the river.
- John Scott
1/8 - Wappinger Creek, HRM 67.5: While traveling along Creek Road paralleling the tidal Wappinger, two bald eagles, one adult and one immature, flew upstream low over the water. It took me by surprise to see them flying so low and pretty exciting to see two in quick succession. I stopped to watch the immature fishing. I'm not sure what it caught but it was quite large and it took it up to a tree to eat.
- Jamie Collins
1/8- Croton Point, HRM 34: I counted 40 pipits this morning but no meadowlarks or horned larks. A kestrel and a peregrine falcon were hunting in the wooded area on the border of the marsh. Two white-tailed bucks walked the ridge-top - one a stout six-pointer, the other a ten-pointer that absolutely dwarfed the smaller buck.
- Christopher Letts
1/9 - New Hamburg, HRM 67.5: An immature bald eagle has taken up temporary residence in one of two trees on our island. For the past four days it spent time each day perched in either a red oak or a tall basswood on the north edge of Rabbit Island. Several times during the day the eagle has landed on a favorite branch, surveying the area and staying there for a period of time, departing only when I tried to get a picture of him with a long distance lens. Some thrill to see such a large predator just seventy feet away, behaving like it owned the place.
- David Cullen
1/9 - Croton Point, HRM 35: Common mergansers are, well, common here in winter. Several hundred are often to be seen, scattered along the river from Haverstraw Bay to Peekskill. During the last of the flood tide this morning, I spotted a concentration of birds a quarter mile north of Croton Bay in the main stem of the Hudson. There were hundreds of birds spread over a five acre area. At least three hundred common mergansers were diving, and hundreds of gulls were in the air and on the water, presumably to glean or steal what they could. At least two dozen black-backed gulls were there, the most I had seen since the herring run last spring. I could not tell what the food source was; perhaps something roiled up and concentrated by the force of the flood tide bumping out into the channel after forcing its way around the Point. Whatever the draw was to that spot, it was powerful. I did not see a single eagle in my travels today.
- Christopher Letts
1/10 - Saugerties, HRM 102: Counting the drifting brash ice in the channel, the river was about 50 percent covered, and much less than earlier in the week. There was still plenty of eagle activity around the Saugerties Lighthouse, but I haven't seen them congregate like they did three days ago, which made them easy to count.
- Patrick Landewe
1/10 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 74: We watched a great blue heron today on our field trip to the grounds at Vassar College. The heron was so still we thought it had frozen. One of our bird club members spotted a merlin dining near the Observatory.
- Deb Kral
1/10 - Wappinger Fall, HRM 67.5: Taking a walk along Wappinger Creek, I was fortunate to see an adult bald eagle perched in a tree in the center of the creek where a backwater marsh juts out to meet the main stem. It sat, barely moving, apart from the occasional glance around the area. A small group of common mergansers with a single female hooded merganser went sailing underneath where the eagle was perched. Neither seemed concerned with the other's presence.
- Jamie Collins
1/10 - New Hamburg, HRM 67.5: This afternoon an adult bald eagle joined the immature on a branch in the large red oak just outside my office. That's five sightings in five days, making for some fabulous viewing.
- David Cullen
1/10 - Beacon-Newburgh Bridge, HRM 62.3: Just before sunset, while crossing westbound on the Beacon-Newburgh Bridge, I was able to clearly witness a perihelion, known to sailors as a "sun dog." This is a form of halo consisting of an image of the sun at the same altitude and some distance from it, usually 22 degrees. The halos are caused by the refraction of light by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
- Robert Anderson
1/10 - Fishkill, HRM 61: This morning at first light, for the first time, there were three white-tailed bucks in my back yard. One, a good looking six-pointer, was bedded down; then along came a smaller four-pointer and a "spike" (two-pointer). The six-pointer got up and jousted with the four-pointer, easily forcing him back while the spike looked on. Last year we had a good-sized six-pointer but a much bigger eight-pointer as well. It was the largest I had seen in 32 years at my house. That one was very husky with a big neck and would have field-dressed out around 225 pounds.
- Lee Banner
1/10 - Beacon, HRM 61: Sunrise occurred one minute earlier this morning for the first time since June 18. I counted 40 common mergansers, both hens and drakes, handsome birds. The real show was watching the males "scoot" across the water to drive off other males - breeding hierarchies were being established in January. All the while, an adult bald eagle was perched overhead in an old cottonwood. He was not bothered by my presence and the ducks were apparently not concerned by his.
- Tom Lake
1/10 - Verplanck, HRM 40.5: We met with other Saw Mill River Audubon members at Steamboat Dock in Verplanck for an eagle monitoring program. We noted black-backed gulls, common mergansers, ring-billed gulls, greater scaup and many Canada geese. When we had just about given up on our eagle search, we noticed a gorgeous adult perched high in a tree over a house overlooking the river. None of us had seen it flying in, and it just seemed to appear from nowhere to make our search worthwhile.
- Dorothy Ferguson, Bob Ferguson
[This tree, an oak that stands to the rear of those viewing the river in Verplanck, has frequently, for a decade or more, provided such a "ghost bird" sighting. Birders become so intent on watching the river that an eagle will slip into the tree, not a hundred feet away, and seem to magically appear when someone finally turns around. Tom Lake.]
1/11 - Saratoga County, HRM 180: In December 2012, a report came into the NYSBIRDS E-birds List of a northern hawk-owl sighting in Saratoga County. The bird was seen briefly but then not again, until this afternoon. This would be the first northern hawk-owl in Region 8 since 2003 in Montgomery County.
- Will Raup
1/11 - New Hamburg, HRM 67.5: We stood alongside the Metro North railroad tracks and watched David Cullen's Rabbit Island bald eagle, an adult, perched in his red oak. Moments later and a mile upstream (Wappinger Creek) another adult bald eagle sat at the very edge of the ice not more than a hundred feet from a Canada goose and seven common mergansers.
- Tom Lake, T.R. Jackson
[This is an enduring mystery of avian predator-and-prey behavior: There are times when pandemonium will break out in flocks of waterfowl with even the suggestion of an eagle's presence. Then there are times when ducks and geese will show no signs of agitation with an eagle close at hand. There must be some form of predator-prey non-verbal communication indicating a well-fed raptor. Tom Lake.]
1/11 - Chelsea, HRM 65.2: While sitting near the Chelsea Yacht Club, I saw one lone snow goose slowly drifting north with the incoming current. Its head only turned when it heard the unmistakable call of a kingfisher that kept moving from boat mast to tree and back.
- Andra Sramek
1/12 - Schodack Island, HRM 133: This afternoon, I watched a pair of bald eagles perched side-by-side, chirping eagle-sweet-nothings, and then later carrying a large stick to somewhere off in the distance to the east where, perhaps, they were building a nest.
- Rich Guthrie
[I have noticed over the last decade or more, that eagle pairs have been starting their spring housekeeping at their nests earlier and earlier. It used to be early February; now it is not uncommon to see them fussing about in mid-to-late December. I'm sure they sense minute changes much better than we do. Climate change? Tom Lake.]
1/12 - Farmer's Landing, HRM 67: Even in an age of sophisticated electronic navigation, fog horns from commercial vessels could be heard all day on the river. The warm air created an eerie "moorish" fog that rose off the snow fields along the river.
- Tom Lake
1/12 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: After splitting black oak into firewood, I ended up with a nice pile of flat-headed grubs that had been hibernating under the bark of the wood. I made a nice grub pile on my driveway; about 30 minutes later a flock of eight robins found them and gobbled them all down. Another minute later, all were gone: grubs and well-fed robins.
- Andra Sramek
1/12 - Blooming Grove, HRM55: I had a red-winged blackbird at the bird feeder this morning and it has been back several times. It was strange to see the snow on the ground, dense fog surrounding our area, and a red-winged blackbird on the feeder. What season are we in?
- Carol Coddington
1/12 - Furnace Woods, HRM 38.5: Often in the past month the driveways and walks have been spattered with maple sap. All the twigs and limbs shattered by Hurricane Sandy were responding to the weather. If I planned to make syrup this year, the buckets would have been hung on New Year's Day. Yet, for many decades, local tradition was to tap on President's Day, more than a month later. Watching the ice go out in mist and fog, I wondered if I've blown my chances for this winter.
- Christopher Letts
1/13 - Farmer's Landing, HRM 67: This was day two of the great fog. The water was 34 degrees Fahrenheit and the air twenty degrees warmer. We could hear the clear sounds of geese, ducks, and freight trains but could see nothing beyond a hundred feet.
- Tom Lake, T.R. Jackson
1/13 - Westchester County, HRM 43: I was coming back from walking the dog at Mohegan Lake at O-dark-thirty in the morning and heard a familiar sound: spring peepers in my front yard!
- Marnie Miller-Keas
1/13 - Furnace Woods, HRM 38.5: On my way back from the compost pile today, I was peering and peeking, looking at all the beds to see what has been fooled by the weather. Daffodils were up as much as ten inches, and some tender perennials never completely died back. The big surprise came as I was filling the bird feeders yesterday and saw that a dozen or more snowdrops were up and booming. Climate change?
- Christopher Letts
1/14 - Farmer's Landing, HRM 67: On day three of the big fog, it now threatened to lift. A huge and low-hanging fog bank obscured the river for more than two miles from Chelsea north to New Hamburg. Well above the fog, blue sky was developing. The fog bank in front parted just long enough for us to spot a large raft of common mergansers, no fewer than 75 birds. On one end was a pair of common goldeneyes and on the other end a lone canvasback. In that brief interlude when the fog parted, we thought that we counted a dozen bald eagles scattered along a mile of shoreline from Soap Hill upriver to Cedarcliff. Through the binoculars, however, the "birds" revealed themselves to be small patches of snow nestled in the hillside.
- Tom Lake, T.R. Jackson
1/14 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: In mid-afternoon the air temperature topped out at about 50 degrees F. With the snow melting and the soil not even close to being frozen, I finished planting my 60 hyacinth and 30 daffodil bulbs, all of which I meant to plant in October.
- Andra Sramek
1/14 - Fishkill, HRM 61: On this relatively warm January night (44 degrees F), while in my yard in a heavily wooded area of the town, I could hear the low hooting call of a great horned owl. It had been nearly 20 years since I have last heard the "Hoo Hoo Hoo, Hoo Hoo Hoo" in my neighborhood. A while later as I emerged from my vehicle, I saw a medium-sized, rufous-colored bird flying across the beam of my headlights. It flew in the fashion of a whippoorwill in pursuit of insects from the white pines adjacent to the driveway. But, being January, it was more likely an eastern screech owl.
- Ed Spaeth
1/14 - Bear Mountain Bridge, HRM 46: What a foggy morning! A unseen ship had been leaning on its horn for about ten minutes as it worked its way north under the Bear Mountain Bridge when, seemingly out of nowhere, the Glorious Morning, a 500-foot-long dry bulk freighter came ghosting out of the fog. I heard her continue to grope her way north through the Hudson Highlands for a long time afterwards.

2. The Commissioner had earlier announced the carrying out of a compliance check against Google's admitted wrongful collection of the Wi-fi data which contained certain personal data. He expressed disappointment at the lack of response from Google as to its intention to remedy the situation and at Google's failure to assuage the concern of the people of Hong Kong by signing the Undertaking. He did not think it was the proper stance a respectable international organization like Google should take. He failed to detect any sign of willingness to cooperate in the matter of the Undertaking.
3. Mr Woo said, "I am dismayed by Google's apparent lack of sincerity in its handling of this matter. I am particularly dissatisfied with the current status. I do not see that Google is taking the matter seriously enough. Google says time and again that maintaining people's trust is crucial to everything it does. However, when asked to sign a formal Undertaking which in most parts repeats what it has said elsewhere, Google has been found not forthcoming and less than cooperative. Yesterday I chaired a meeting of the Standing Committee on Technological Development and sought the advice of external experts and professionals. Today I discussed this matter with some overseas data protection authorities which are equally concerned about Google's wrongful collection of personal data. Unless some remedial measures are taken by Google promptly, I shall have to consider escalating the situation and resort to more assertive action."

Kiersten Hathcock, CEO of Mod Mom Furniture, proved that success can be achieved even without a check from the sharks. She appeared on "Shark Tank" in 2011 with her homemade toy boxes, seeking money for manufacturing costs. Shark Robert Herjavec felt that the business was still "starting out," but he saw potential and offered her a deal.
Normally, the story would end there. But Hathcock told CNBC.com that after the show aired, the deal didn't go through.
"In January of 2011, after discussions with Robert, he made it clear Mod Mom was still a bit too small," she said in an email.
Luckily, an angel investor saw her episode and offered a deal that she said was even better, allowing her to "expand in ways we never thought possible."
CNBC.com caught up with Hathcock to see what it's like to be on "Shark Tank." She also spilled some secrets and went into detail about what happened after the show aired.

When the always obedient Lady Iona is pressured into accepting a husband of her father's choosing, she seeks out the notorious rake, Lord Nathan Wynter, for his help in learning how to stand up for herself.
The more Nathan tries to protect Lady Iona from running head-long into disgrace, the more he admires her daring spirit and unpredictable antics. Instead of returning her to the obedient world to which she was raised, he encourages her blossoming passions. Such a move is surely going to lead them both to ruin.
But for love he is willing to risk everything.
Filled with emotion and torment, a steamy romance in which the hero and heroine can barely keep their hands off of each other, and a tender, heartbreaking realization and reconciliation, LADY IONA'S REBELLION meets every requirement that we deem necessary for it to be a Perfect 10. The writing is crisp, the tension so thick that you can cut it with a knife, and the cast so alive and vivacious, down to even the most secondary of characters. ~ A Perfect 10! ~ Romance Reviews Today
Lady Iona's Rebellion took me by storm. Not only is the writing grand, but the whole premise of the storyline is beautifully created. Iona is sassy and bright and I loved how she stands her ground for her independence. A hot-blooded Nathan and a desirable Iona, wow, this story sizzles with excitement, passion and the natural interference of families. Dorothy McFalls develops an intriguing read where characters linger long after the story ends. The well-sculptured secondary characters definitely put a spin on the story. This is one tantalizing read that is truly extraordinary in a most satisfying way. ~ 4 Cups! ~ Coffee Time Romance
LADY IONA'S REBELLION by Dorothy McFalls is an outrageous romp through Regency England with two wonderfully compelling characters as they find themselves dodging scandal on the way to discovering love. ~ 4 Ribbons! ~ Romance Junkies
The plot is fresh and adventuresome and each sister, brother, parent, friend and servant were a tribute to this wonderful story of confusion! The more Iona and Nathan experienced together, the more involved the events became! Each time Nathan did anything, it was perceived as scandalous; Lady Iona had the sympathy of the entire ton because, since she was known as the malleable child, it was never expected that she had anything to do with the outrage! This is a meticulous novel in which Ms. Dorothy McFalls showed her vast talent in the expansion of this book. I literally could not put it down. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves regency romance. This book will go well on your "keeper" list!
~ 5 Hearts! ~ The Romance Studio
Dorothy McFalls has written a fantastic romantic tale, one which is easy to read, engaging and entertaining. … It is this attention to detail that pulled me completely into this story and made me forget I wasn't right there on the pages with Lady Iona and Lord Nathan. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am eagerly awaiting any new book by Dorothy McFalls. Lady Iona's Rebellion is top rate on all fronts and I am sure whatever follows will be just as good. Well done! ~ 5 Angels! ~ Fallen Angel Reviews
Lady Iona is full of spit and fire and Lord Nathan is charmingly earnest. I kept on laughing throughout this story because of all the situations they get into. … I haven't been this amused by a book in a long time. The pace is wonderful and you don't want to walk away from it…Lady Iona's Rebellion is a definite must read.

Vicki Lundblad
Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory
Ralph S. and Becky O'Connor Chair
Vicki Lundblad, a Professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, seeks to understand the unique properties of telomeres, the specialized structures found at the ends of linear chromosomes. Telomere function relies on a dedicated enzyme called telomerase, which is responsible for keeping chromosome ends fully elongated. In human cells in which telomerase has been experimental manipulated, the resulting loss of DNA from chromosome ends results in a gradual loss in cell proliferation. Most human tissues have very low levels of telomerase, whereas in cancer cells, telomerase is dramatically up-regulated. Scientists believe that this up-regulation is an essential step in tumor development, and thus, drugs that target telomerase could provide a highly specific anti-cancer therapeutic. Conversely, telomere maintenance may also be a crucial determinant that influences the proliferation of certain tissues during the aging process. Even within the normal human population, variations in telomere length correlate with the onset of certain age-related diseases.
Past work in Lundblad's laboratory pioneered the discovery of genes that encode protein subunits of the telomerase enzyme, using baker's yeast as an experimental model system. Her group has also elucidated a regulatory mechanism for telomerase, by demonstrating that a telomere-bound protein called Cdc13 is responsible for recruiting telomerase to chromosome ends. Lundblad is currently expanding on these studies, through detailed mechanistic analysis of telomerase and Cdc13, as well as the identification and characterization of new genes that make important contributions to telomere biology.
"I am fascinated by the fact that the loss of an extremely small amount of DNA from the tips of chromosomes can dramatically impact the aging process. Understanding how this contributes to a healthy lifespan in humans is a major goal of the research in my laboratory."
During our lifespan, our bodies rely on cell division to replenish our lungs, skin, liver and other organs. However, most human cells cannot proliferate indefinitely. Instead, cells have a "clock" that counts down the number of cell divisions. Once cells in a tissue can no longer divide, the ability to withstand the degenerative aspects of aging declines.
Vicki Lundblad discovered that the molecular basis for this clock resides at the very ends of our chromosomes. These chromosome ends — called telomeres — get nibbled away with each cell division, until they become so short that cells are prevented from dividing further. Although Lundblad first uncovered this process in a simple single-celled organism, subsequent studies by clinicians have shown that whether this telomere clock counts down faster or slower is a contributing factor to age-dependent diseases such as bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis and late-onset diabetes.
However, this clock can be re-set by a telomere-dedicated machine called telomerase which re-elongates telomeres, thereby rescuing them from oblivion. Lundblad's group pioneered the discovery of the components of telomerase, once again using a single-celled organism (baker's yeast). Because the process of cell division is basically the same in baker's yeast and human cells, her laboratory's findings provided the tools for uncovering the components of human telomerase. With telomerase components in hand, this has allowed experiments to determine why the telomere clock might count down faster in some cells. Lundblad postulated that these variations are likely due to be how telomerase finds its way to chromosome ends in order to re-set telomere length. In support of this, her laboratory has made a series of discoveries showing that the surface of telomerase has multiple docking sites that ensure its efficient delivery to chromosome ends. This provides an unexpected insight into how telomerase might be manipulated to promote healthy aging.

IndyCar Driver to Support Anaphylaxis Awareness
Posted By Allergic Living On 2013/05/05 @ 5:18 pm In Food Allergy | No Comments
IndyCar driver Alex Tagliani is partnering with Pfizer Canada (distributor of the EpiPen) to promote food allergy awareness and support the education organization Anaphylaxis Canada.
The initiative is being called "The Summer of TAG" – a nod to the Montreal native's racing nickname. Various events are planned:
• Tagliani will be speaking at schools in Toronto and Montreal in early May about his own experience with food allergies, as well as the importance of vigilance for anyone living at risk for anaphylaxis.
• You can also take part in a contest to create a design for Tagliani's racing helmet, which he will wear during the Toronto Indy, and a special one-on-one race to benefit Anaphylaxis Canada [1].
The veteran driver is no stranger to anaphylaxis himself:
"As someone with a severe food allergy to peanuts and tree nuts, I can tell you that an anaphylactic reaction is far more frightening than driving a race car at 400 kilometres (250 miles) per hour," Tagliani said in a press release, "That's why I always carry my EpiPen with me, wherever I go."

Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science, 11: Supply Chain Management: Design, Coordination and Operation
Edited By
- A.G. de Kok, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands
- S.C. Graves, M.I.T., Cambridge, USA
Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been a very visible and influential research topic in the field of operations research (OR) over the course of the last decade of the 20th century. The problems and experiences that emerged from business practices have stimulated many researchers to contribute to a deeper understanding about underlying phenomena and causal relationships. SCM has also served as an important application area for OR methods and techniques.
This handbook contains chapters covering a broad range of SCM issues written by leading experts in the field. The work is intended for researchers, students, engineers, economists and managers involved in SCM.
After the Introduction to SCM in Chapter 1 the Volume is divided into 3 parts.
Part I deals with Supply Chain Design. In Chapter 2, the optimal location of warehouses and factories is discussed as well as some tactical problems related to pricing and integrated production, inventory and transportation policies. In Chapter 3 various strategic and tactical issues that must be addressed when deciding on investments in inventory capital to hedge against uncertainty are discussed. Also, the issue of supplier selection in the context of the trade-off between supplier flexibility and variable material costs is discussed in detail. Chapter 4 provides an overview of the literature on flexibility in the context of Supply Chain Design. The literature review reveals that most of the flexibility concepts from the literature do not provide insight into the issue of allocation of assets across the supply chain, so that flexibility is created at the right links. A modelling framework is proposed that addresses this issue. Part I closes with Chapter 5, where the relationship between product and process design and Supply Chain Design is examined.Part II deals with Supply Chain Coordination. In this context coordination refers to the design of contracts between suppliers and buyers, as well as the information that is exchanged between them. The different incentives of supplier and buyer are formalized in a game-theoretic context, showing that without proper incentive schemes the supply chain becomes inefficient in comparison to a supply chain with centralized control. Relatively simple models reveal fundamental insights on Supply Chain Coordination and already have had a great impact in the business practice of today. Chapter 6 focuses on contracts that allow for various kinds of transfer payments and identifies conditions under which such transfer payments yield a properly coordinated supply chain. In Chapter 7 the value of information exchange and sharing is studied. By comparing alternatives for sharing information between the links in the supply chain, we obtain insights about which information is most valuable and under what circumstances. The results from Chapters 6 and 7 provide input in terms of costs and prices, as well as available information, for the coordination of the supply chain. Still, many other parameters are required to execute the supply chain. Chapter 8 provides a framework for understanding the role of tactical planning parameters, such as forecast accuracy, mean and variance of lead times, and capacity utilization. They also emphasize the issue of the structural complexity of a supply chain. Real-world problems have such an enormous structural complexity that there is hardly any hope for solving them cleanly with a closed-form formula. Thus, alternative routes to cope with this complexity are proposed.Part III is dedicated to Supply Chain Operations. Chapter 9 provides an overall Supply Chain Planning (SCP) framework. This framework shows the hierarchical nature of real-world Supply Chain Management and further reveals the structural complexity already discussed. The SCP framework provides the means to assess the state-of-the-art of Advanced Planning and Scheduling Systems. Chapter 10 discusses the progress made during the nineties with respect to the analysis of multi-echelon serial and divergent inventory systems. The fact that the structure of the optimal policy for divergent systems remains unknown, even for the most benign random demand processes, motivates the development and analysis of various control policies. Chapter 11 reports on the substantial progress made in this area and following up on Chapter 9 by discussing Supply Chain Operations Planning (SCOP) applied to arbitrary multi-echelon inventory systems, i.e. many-to-many relationships between items (links) to be controlled. A framework is proposed that enables the assessment of the feasibility of supply chain control concepts proposed in the literature and provide some quantitative results that reveal the counter-intuitive behaviours of such systems. Finally, Chapter 13 discusses the role of the logistics service providers for effective Supply Chain Management. A general framework (vocabulary) is presented for modelling a wide range of problems that arise when dealing with transportation optimisation under uncertainty in demand, pricing, etc. The models emerging from this framework are tackled with a generic method, called adaptive dynamic programming. The underlying idea is the concept of incomplete states and approximate value functions that allow for the development of approximation methods. Also addressed are issues of data quality that are relevant for all problems discussed in this volume.
