Meadow Lake truck mystery
From DNA Info:
A pickup truck with temporary plates from a Texas used-car dealership was pulled from the water at Flushing Meadows Corona Park Monday morning.
The truck, a diesel 2007 Dodge Ram 2500, was unoccupied, the FDNY said, and no injuries were reported.
Firefighters responded about 8:45 a.m. and found the truck stuck in silt and covered up to its engine and door handles in water at the southern end of Meadow Lake.
The truck was purchased Nov. 9 from North Texas Truck Stop, a used car dealership in Mansfield, Texas, by a man from Rego Park, according to North Texas Truck Stop vice president Kevin McCary.

I think I see the owner of the truck in that photo. He is tied to a concrete slab underneath all that blue stuff.

I like the functionality of Windows to Go, a way of running Windows on a USB Drive. Especially, I like these two features of it:
- It is hot-pluggable, I can unplug it, and as long as I plug it in again in 60 seconds, my machine won't power down or kernel panic.
- I can have multiple driver configurations for every computer I plug it into and the correct driver set can be autodetected. Is there a way to do this with a Linux distro?

Dating back to ancient times, cats were the friends of goddesses, not gods. So it might surprise you to learn about the litany of famous fathers who've caved in to cats' charms.
One of the most macho devoted cat lover dads was writer Ernest Hemingway, whose home and museum in Key West still harbor scores of polydactyl cats, which have extra toes. "A cat has absolute emotional honesty," Hemingway once said. "Human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not."
Abe Lincoln owned the White House's first cat, Tabby, who was sometimes fed at state dinners — to the horror of Mrs. Lincoln but to the delight of their children. "No matter how much the cats fight," President Lincoln observed, "there always seem to be plenty of kittens."
When dads today come out as cat lovers, they're in good company. An online survey by PetPlace.com found that more than 83 percent of respondents answered the question "Do real men own cats?" with a resounding "meow." "Cats are cool," one person wrote. "Cool guys like cats."
How Cats Benefit Fathers
Cat owners report that cats add companionship, relaxation and entertainment to their lives. These are some of the reasons that 38.2 million households in the U.S. have cats — the second highest figure recorded since the American Pet Products Association (APPA) started undertaking a national survey in 1988. According to APPA's 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 65 percent of respondents said they feel like their cat is part of the family.
Typically, the interactions people have with cats are very nurturing. "We feed them, pet them, cuddle with them, and that's what the mother cat would do," says Dr. Nicholas Dodman, an animal behavior professor at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. "In the wild, fathers are absent. Mom does all the raising on her own."
In the home, however, dads can take a more involved role. Exercising the family cat with mobile toys, tubes or anything on a stick can help the cat maintain a healthy weight and help dad de-stress at the same time. Clicker training is another activity that dads can take on with the cat and the kids because cats can learn to respond to food rewards and sit, jump and do other tricks. "It can teach dad new respect for his cat friend and demonstrate his nurturing side to the family," says Dodman.
Cats Help Men in Human Relationships
Men have much to learn about relating to others — especially children — from the way they interact with the family pet, says Chris Hamer, author of Parenting with Pets: The Magic of Raising Children with Animals. Here are four lessons dads can learn:
1. Be better communicators. Men sometimes have difficulty with communication, particularly with children. "You can't be macho around an animal. They don't relate to that. They need fairness and consistency," says Hamer. "So do children."
2. Don't react in the moment. "Working with an animal, especially if you're doing training, you have to be thinking ahead of time about what you are trying to get out of the situation," says Hamer. The same techniques can be applied to parenting, she says. "Be proactive, not reactive."
3. Soften up. Many men tend to react to a complex situation by becoming more dominant or forceful, when sometimes the opposite approach is actually more effective. "I try to get them to soften their voice and give a lot of praise," says Hamer. This can be a teaching tool for dads when interacting with children.
4. Devote time to the relationship. Involving kids in taking care of the cat is a great way to teach responsibility, build confidence and experience a great family dynamic. But it takes time. "Dads can be cat parents too," Dodman points out. "It will be mutually beneficial and a good example for the kids."

Hi HG, I'm getting ready to go on a summer camping trip... Very excited! But I'm worried about eating right. Do you have any camping-friendly food ideas that won't blow my calorie budget? Camille Loves Camping
Hey, Camille!
Camping trips can be tough because you're limited to foods that'll stay fresh and cook up well over a campfire. Make sure to plan for snacks as well as meals. Stick with snack foods that travel well, like filling snack bars with protein and fiber (I love bars from Luna and KIND), 100-calorie packs of nuts, jerky, portable cheese snacks (like the wax-encased Mini Babybel rounds) and, of course, fruit. Check out a bunch more travel-friendly snacks here! My breakfast picks are precooked oatmeal cups, like the ones from Seneca Farms and Kozy Shack. Those can be eaten hot or cold. Or try these chewy oatmeal squares from Corazonas -- a new love of mine! You could even whip up a batch of my breakfast-friendly Grab 'n Go Cookies before you leave, as another morning option. For lunch and dinner, pack lots of lean protein -- fat-free or nearly fat-free hot dogs (like Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks... bring a cooler!) and shelf-stable pouches of albacore tuna in water (no can opener needed!) are great options. Bring cut veggies too, to fill out your meals. Splurge on s'mores for dessert... Just limit yourself to one or two. For perfect s'mores, check out these new Jet-Puffed StackerMallows. REALLY fun! Thanks for emailing, and have a great time camping...
Dear Hungry Girl,
I am a huge fan of Granny Smith apples! I love their crisp, tart taste. But I see that only a few of your recipes use these apples and way more of them call for Fujis. Are Fuji apples better for you nutritionally? Or is it a flavor preference? Thanks for all you do!
Apple-Obsessed Jess
Hi Jess,
First off, let me just say that I support eating apples, no matter what kind. They're packed with fiber, and they're incredibly versatile -- as stand-alone snacks and in salads, parfaits, oatmeal, slaws, etc. So many possibilities! To answer your questions, though, I definitely love Fuji apples best, which is why I call for them in so many recipes. They have just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. Nutritionally, all apples are awesome, although Fujis do have the most flavonoids. And research suggests flavonoids could reduce the risk of heart attack and heart disease -- just another reason to jump on the Fuji bandwagon. Granny Smith apples have a very distinctive taste, so they aren't an ideal swap in recipes that call for Fujis, especially if the apples get cooked or baked. But other sweet varieties -- like Gala, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady -- can be easily swapped for Fujis in most recipes. There's definitely, however, a time and place for Granny Smith apples! They work best when they're raw and thinly sliced or chopped, like in this creamy 'n sweet fruit salad and this brand-spanking-new recipe for chicken salad sandwiches. Some HG recipes even call for BOTH Fuji and Granny Smith apples, like my I Heart Apple Slaw. Now that your apple IQ has been raised significantly, have fun making new recipes, and keep eating those apples!
Today, July 13th, is... National French Fries Day!?! WOOHOO! Celebrate with classic Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries or with one of these fun variations!

I wasn�t too spiritual as I attended church Nov. 18.
I wasn�t too spiritual as I attended church Nov. 18.
Yes, I was there to worship and serve as a member of my church�s Guest Services team, but my mind was elsewhere.
I was distracted by events in Knoxville, Tenn., over which I had now power. Like many Tennessee fans, I waited to see if � or when � Derek Dooley would be fired as the Tennessee head football coach following a loss to Vanderbilt the night before that dropped the Volunteers to 0-7 in Southeastern Conference play and 4-7 overall on the season.
I might have been at church and away from my computer, but I still had my smart phone and was constantly checking my trusted websites to see updated status on Dooley. News of his firing came some time around 10:45 or 11 a.m.
I shouldn�t have been so caught up in the drama surrounding the Volunteers, but I am a Tennessee alumnus and do love the team. Most people probably already know that �fan� is just the shortened form of fanatic and southeastern college football fans are fanatically in love for their team.
I wonder how many Auburn fans were checking their phones while at church this past Sunday to learn Tiger football coach Gene Chizik�s fate.
A new kind of anxiety kicks in for fans once the coach is fired � it comes with hoping our team will be the one that lands the coach everyone talks about.
The big name I�ve seen on Tennessee message boards is former Oakland Raider and Tampa Bay Buccaneer head coach Jon Gruden. Gruden was a Tennessee graduate assistant in 1986 and married a former Tennessee cheerleader. Early rumblings were that he had been in contact with potential assistant coaches testing their interest in following him to Knoxville.
If not Gruden, maybe Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher. Word is he might be persuaded to leave Tallahassee, but he might be more interested in Auburn than Tennessee if both schools were options.
Tennesseeand Auburn aren�t the only schools in the Southeastern conference seeking a football coach; Arkansas and Kentucky also are on the look-out for the next guy to lead them.
Arkansas has been in search mode since then Razorback head coach, Bobby Petrino, took his infamous motorcycle ride with his mistress last spring � a trip that landed him in a neck brace and out of a job. Word has it that the Hogs also are interested in Gruden, but if Gruden were to coach at the college level, Tennessee is the leader for his services.
That brings us to Kentucky, which has always been, and probably always will be, known as a basketball school. Word has it that the Wildcats might be interested in Petrino, and I can�t help thinking he would be a huge mistake for any program. Yes, the guy wins, but he has more baggage than an airport lost and found.
The next few weeks will be interesting as we wait to see who will be hired to fill the SEC openings. Even fans who lack a horse in the race care to see who will go where, and what impact the new coaches will have on their favorite teams.
A home run hire like Gruden could quickly land Tennessee back in a place of SEC East pominence. And things would get very interesting if Fisher ended up at Auburn, where his biggest rival would be Alabama, which is coached by Nick Saban, his former boss at Louisiana State.
If Kentucky pulls the stringand goes with Petrino, it will be interesting to see what ethics guidelines appear in his contract.
And since we know Petrino won�t return to Arkansas, who would be second on Arkansas� list if Gruden goes to Tennessee?
Yes, it will be a tough few weeks as we wait to see just how things play out with our favorite teams.

I don't think anyone 'expects' you to predict anything. There was nothing wrong with suggesting that (for example) Martyn would have a good Ashes, because all the signs pointed to it. The point is that even though it's better to have an opinion than sit on the fence, it's a bit rich for anyone to respond to criticism by implying that they are always right, and you're not really doing yourself any favours there.
Personally, I've been a long-time backer of a few players that have been widely criticised on here, like Lee and Watson for instance, and enjoyed their recent success all the more because of it. I was certainly wrong about, say, Pietersen though, who I didn't expect to have quite the impact on test cricket that he has.

Northside outplayed overmatched Mattamuskeet 73-6, but the Monarchs did it as nicely as possible, coach Bob Eason said.
Northside outplayed overmatched Mattamuskeet 73-6, but the Monarchs did it as nicely as possible, coach Bob Eason said.
�Obviously it was a mismatch, but I thought it was a game played for the right reasons. The love of the game,� Eason said.
Northside improved to 2-2 entering next week�s nonconference game at two-time defending state 3-A champion Havelock. Mattamuskeet fell to 0-4.
Eason credited Mattamuskeet for playing hard, despite never being in the game. He also praised both teams for their sportsmanship and for staying competitive well after the game was decided, and it was decided early.
Northside flew to a 21-0 lead with nearly 4 minutes left in the first quarter. Josh Cabrera scored his third receiving touchdown on fourth and goal from the Mattamuskeet 26-yard line. Already up 14-0, Northside took a chance on a long fourth down and threw a deep wheel route to the standout receiver for the score.
�I knew it was fourth down, but I wasn�t really thinking about it,� said Cabrera of the touchdown.
The score characterized the Monarchs� total control. It also marked the third passing touchdown of the first quarter, a quarter that consisted of eleven offensive plays. All eleven plays were passes.
�Looking at their numbers, we knew they would wear down,� Eason said of the Lakers. �We thought the first quarter would be a good time to work on some things.
Sophomore quarterback Jake Erickson was 5 of 11 for 116 yards passing, all in the first quarter. Erickson hooked up with Cabrera for three scores on the game�s first three possessions. The lefty signal-caller was pleased with the amount of throws.
�Usually we�re a little more balanced, both running and passing,� Erickson said. �The coaches called great plays and we executed. I liked getting to throw the ball that much.�
Erickson was also pleased with the efforts of his two primary targets, Cabrera and senior receiver Matthew Pinto.
�They get open and I just have to get them the ball,� Erickson said.
The Northside defense matched the offensive effort. The Lakers finished with minus 27 yards rushing and had five turnovers. Among those five turnovers, two translated into Monarch scores.
Cabrera intercepted a Sharvonte Williams pass at the beginning of the second quarter and used the offensive skills Monarch fans have become familiar with to return the pick 80 yards to increase the home team�s lead to 28-0.
�We try to use our guys� skills on offense to help us out on defense,� said defensive secondary coach Dustin Johns. �Cabrera is a great receiver and defensive back. We want to use those skills on the other side of the ball to help out on �D.��
Junior Kirtlon Sanders� 60-yard interception return in the fourth quarter was the second defensive touchdown for Northside.
�We pride ourselves on having the most picks in the county,� Johns said. �We haven�t really gotten going yet this season, but tonight was a good start.�
With a 42-0 halftime lead, Eason said he looked for an opportunity to both limit his team�s offensive output, but also get his reserves some needed experience. Those reserves played the entire second half. They also helped in four more Northside scores.
The Monarchs consistently ran dive plays in an attempt to consume the second-half clock. Despite the conservative play calling, junior Autray Taylor rushed for touchdowns of 5 and 25 yards. Sophomore Christian Gordon scored on a run from 26 yards and senior Justin Gordon contributed the final touchdown with a run of 26 yards.

A sharp rise in HIV infections around Fairbanks, Alaska has been traced to military men finding sex partners via online hookup sites "like Adam4Adam and Craigslist," according to public health data reported in the Army Times.
The outbreak involves nine cases between Jan. 1, 2011, and Jan. 31, 2012. ... From 2007 through 2010, the number of HIV cases reported in the Fairbanks area was fairly stable at two to four a year, so "this is a very unusual spike," said Susan Jones, a state epidemiology official.
Of the nine people infected in 2011, eight were men who had sex with other men, according to the agency. Seven were either in the Army in Fairbanks or had sexual partners in the military. Most were young. Four were under the age of 20. Seven of the men reported meeting sex partners online.
Last summer, epidemiology workers traveled to Fairbanks to interview the people involved and found that many of them had used websites like Craigslist and Adam2Adam to locate what she described as "anonymous" sex partners in the Fairbanks and Fort Wainwright area.
Sex-seeking Internet sites have been a major conduit for high-risk sex linked to STD infection in the Lower 48, Jones said. This is the only major outbreak associated with them in Alaska she knows of, she said.
The military requires HIV testing of active duty soldiers every two years. That's in addition to mandatory testing before and after deployments. Troops that seroconvert can continue on active duty but cannot serve overseas. The Navy has generally had higher seroconversion rates than other service branches.
In previous years, there were anecdotal reports from HIV+ troops across the military who complained that results of HIV contact tracing and public health investigations were used to dismiss them under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Canucks haven't had a 'fair' fight in years
Ryan Suter #20 of the Minnesota Wild and Alex Burrows #14 of the Vancouver Canucks jockey for position in front of the net guarded by Josh Harding #37 of the Minnesota Wild during the third period of the game on February 7, 2013 at Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, Minnesota. The Canucks defeated the Wild 4-1.
Photograph by: Hannah Foslien , Getty Images
VANCOUVER - In the Northwest Division, the Vancouver Canucks are giants among Lilliputians, Paul McCartney among the Wings, the German economy among the European Union.
It isn't a fair fight in this National Hockey League outpost and hasn't been in years.
The Minnesota Wild came to town Tuesday night trying to win 1-0 behind a minor-league goalie making his first NHL start. The Canucks won 2-1. As part of its pre-game preparation, the Wild may have sacrificed a chicken and made a voodoo doll of Canuck goalie Roberto Luongo because – after four years and 10 games without a win in Vancouver – it couldn't hurt.
Since last missing the playoffs in 2008, the Canucks' record against their four divisional "rivals" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) is 72-22-9.
The last two years, Vancouver was the only Northwest team to make the playoffs in the Western Conference.
In the four years and counting the Canucks have won the Northwest, the division has contributed only six of 32 playoff teams in the conference. The Central Division has sent 14 teams to the playoffs, and the Pacific Division 12.
What gives?
The Wild, Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers.
"I like to think we have had a big hand in that," Canuck defenceman Kevin Bieksa said of the futility among rivals. "We take pride in winning these divisional matchups. We approach them like big games and I'm proud we've had the seasons we've had, where we've been able to win most of our divisional games. And that hurts the playoffs chances of those teams. We had a big hand in eliminating those teams."
So have, in no particular order, Chuck Fletcher, Jay Feaster, Pierre Lacroix and Kevin Lowe – the managerial kingpins of the other teams.
The Avalanche, which oscillates annually between dreadful and not-quite-good-enough, have made the playoffs once since 2008, the last year the Flames made it under previous management. The Wild, the last division champion before the Canucks, has missed the playoffs four straight years, eclipsed in the Northwest only by the Oilers' six-year playoff drought.
It's difficult to fathom that the NHL's most remote cluster of teams was considered, prior to the lockout in 2004, arguably the league's toughest division.
The Avalanche won its last Stanley Cup in 2001 and the Flames should have won another in 2004. The Wild made the conference final in 2003, when every Northwest team but Calgary made the playoffs.
The division's down-cycle was supposed to be reversing this season.
Fletcher, the Wild's general manager, spent nearly $200 million on two players, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, and Minnesota was expected finally to score enough to frighten opponents. And the Oilers, managed by Steve Tambellini and overseen by Lowe, were supposed to begin reaping the benefit of years of ineptitude as a frat house of sublimely talented draft picks matured and started finding their way in the NHL.
But the Wild has scored seven times in six games and its offence is ranked 29th. And the Oilers, still groping for structure and a defensive backbone, remain just a promising theory. They lost to the Dallas Stars 4-1 at home Tuesday night.
Even before losing vital forward Gabriel Landeskog to a concussion, the Avalanche decided to play this season without their best player from last season, Ryan O'Reilly. Guess how that's working out?
And Flames' GM Jay Feaster, whom we thought was being wry two years ago when he suggested Darryl Sutter had left him a "foundation," apparently believes Miikka Kiprusoff and Jarome Iginla will have more trade value in fossil form.
It appears the Canucks may win another division title by default and stroll into the playoffs again.
"With the salary cap, maybe it should be more even and more tight," Canuck Daniel Sedin said of the division. "But this is the way it has been for a few years now. I think our division is getting better. Minnesota's lineup tonight is a lot different than it has been the last few years. Edmonton is going to keep getting better and better. They're only a few points behind and if they win a few games they're right back in it. It is a better division than it was."
The 8-2-2 Canucks lead the Wild and Oilers by five points and have a game in-hand on each.
Sedin acknowledged it has been a while since the Canucks had to "fight" to get into the playoffs, and many players admitted after their first-round exit last April that they were mentally unprepared for the Stanley Cup tournament.
And that is the problem with winning your division by 21 points.
The Canucks' stature is not diminished by their weak division because there are still (in a normal season) 58 games outside the division. By many other statistical measures, including their conference-best record against the seven teams from the Central and Pacific Divisions that made the playoffs last season, the Canucks were an elite team.
But conditions change in the playoffs and the lack of desperate, must-win games in the final month of the regular season seems like poor playoff preparation, even if the Canucks nearly won the Stanley Cup in 2011 after taking the Northwest by 23 points.
"I know what you're talking about," Bieksa said. "But for this team, we're always looking up (at who's ahead in the conference), not looking down to see what's happening in the playoff race or in our division."
Captain Henrik Sedin said: "I've heard a lot of things – that it can hurt us in the playoffs because we're not playing those tough games within our division. But this is such a tough league; no games are easy. I'd rather take winning the division easily than having to fight just to make the playoffs. It's not as easy as people think it is."
Perhaps not, but it will get harder. NHL re-alignment will create a battle for the Canucks that the Wild, Oilers, Flames and Avalanche have been unable to muster.

Mariano Rivera laid two long-stemmed red roses across home plate. Tears filled Joe Girardi's eyes. Derek Jeter's face was flush with emotion.
As fans stood through "Taps" and a 2-minute moment of silence, the 27 World Series championship flags that George Steinbrenner cherished with all his might could be heard flapping at half-staff toward center field from the top of Yankee Stadium in the stiff breeze.
The New York Yankees celebrated the life of "The Boss" with a solemn 15-minute pregame tribute Friday night that included an vivid remembrance from Jeter, spoken to the crowd of 47,524 from behind the plate before New York beat Tampa Bay 5-4 on Nick Swisher's ninth-inning single.
Steinbrenner, the team's driving and blustery owner, died Tuesday, two days after the death of Bob Sheppard, Yankee Stadium's longtime public-address announcer. New York returned home following the All-Star break to mark what both meant to a franchise obsessed with its tradition.
"We gather here tonight to honor two men who were both shining stars in the Yankee universe," Jeter said as teammates and the Rays stood ramrod straight, caps off, in front of their dugouts. "Both men, Mr. George Steinbrenner and Mr. Bob Sheppard, cared deeply about their responsibilities to this organization and to our fans, and for that, will be forever remembered in baseball history and in our hearts."
The new ballpark, opened last year in one of Steinbrenner's final acts, could not have been quieter. Yankees executives in business suits watched somberly from behind the plate.
"Simply put," Jeter said, "Mr. Steinbrenner and Mr. Sheppard both left this organization in a much better place than when they first arrived. They've set the example for all employees of the New York Yankees to strive to follow."
Steinbrenner died of a heart attack at age 80 after 37½ years as owner of America's most famous team. Sheppard, whose elegant and booming introductions gave old Yankee Stadium its voice from 1951-07, was 99 when he died. In his honor, there were no introductions of batters during Friday night's game, and the often-obtrusive music that punctuates evenings in the Bronx went silent.
Known throughout most of his tenure for lavishing record contracts on free agents and then badgering many through front-page headlines, Steinbrenner mellowed in his final decade and became beloved for the team's success and his enormous generosity.
His funeral was scheduled for Saturday in Tampa, Fla., and was to be private. More ceremonies were to take place Saturday at Old-Timers Day, and public memorials were under discussion for later dates in Florida and New York.
Throughout the day, an impromptu tribute unfolded at the main entrance behind home plate, where the famous interlocking "NY" logo is etched in stone. Bouquets, memorial candles, newspaper clippings, hats, jerseys and souvenirs of World Series titles were placed there in tribute, along with one old baseball.
Yankees fan Peter Goldschmidt teared up.
"George was always like, for me, Santa Claus. He always brought me what I wanted," said the 46-year-old from New Milford, N.J. "Free agents, World Series championships, a new stadium. Whatever the fans wanted, he brought us."
Wreaths were placed on each side of the Steinbrenner statue inside the team office entrance in left field, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was among those who filed past. A wreath also was placed next to Sheppard's plaque in Monument Park, behind the center-field fence.
After heading the group that bought the team in January 1973 for $8.7 million net, Steinbrenner turned it into a $1.6 billion standard-setter for the sport and established what have become often unreachable demands. Fans emulated his desires.
"You could feel it not only from the office up above but you felt it in the crowd as well from the fans of New York," Girardi said before the ceremony. "He set up an expectation here, that getting to the playoffs wasn't good enough, getting to the World Series wasn't good enough."
During batting practice, video tributes to Steinbrenner were shown on the scoreboard along with quotes of famous Yankees praising him. Yankees players wore patches with Steinbrenner's name, initials and "The Boss" over their hearts, and ones commemorating Sheppard on their left sleeves.
"His legacy will continue because of the patch, and people will talk about him and what he meant here," Girardi said.
Yankees players learned of Steinbrenner's death Tuesday by receiving voice mails and texts.
"He always asked you for the best. He didn't want no mediocracy," Rivera said. "He wanted 100 percent or 1,000 percent that you had to give."
Before the tribute began, Frank Sinatra's rendition of "My Way" was played as streaks of fading sunlight illuminated center and right fields. Some fans held up signs.
"Thanks George," and "Thanks Boss," read two.
Steinbrenner's name filled the ribbon board on the front of the upper decks. Fans applauded when the Yankees triumphs under Steinbrenner were recounted: 16 AL East titles, 11 American League pennants and seven World Series championships. After the moment of silence, there were chants of "Lets's Go Yankees!"
Most current Yankees know only positive memories, having escaped the criticism of the younger Steinbrenner during his combustible days.
"I lost the World Series in 2001 and I never saw an angry man," Rivera said.
Still, he didn't change his pinstripes to his dying day. Andy Pettitte remembered meeting Steinbrenner for the last time during a spring-training game this year.
"It was almost like he was ignoring what I said and he just said, 'We need to score some runs tonight. We're losing right now,'" Pettitte recalled. "That was George in a nutshell. Everything was good as long as we were winning."
Yankees Honor Steinbrenner, Sheppard at First Game Since Deaths
Mariano Rivera laid two long-stemmed red roses across home plate. Tears filled Joe Girardi's eyes. Derek Jeter's face was flush with emotion.

LOS ANGELES - A social-conscience espionage film that has actually thought about its "eco-terrorism" themes beyond figuring out how to mine them for suspense, "The East" sends a straight-laced overachiever undercover with a violent eco-vigilante group.
Zal Batmanglij and cowriter/star Brit Marling deliver a consistently tense, morally alert story that has plenty of box-office appeal.
Marling plays Sarah, a former FBI agent now seeking her fortune in the private sector.
Her first assignment for Hiller/Brood, a secretive company providing undercover risk assessments for multinational corporations, requires her to infiltrate a new anarchist group, The East, which has targeted polluters in a series of let-the-punishment-fit-the-crime "jams."
Telling her patient boyfriend (Jason Ritter) she's off to Dubai for business, Sarah actually hits the streets not far from her Washington, D.C., home - getting grubby with freegans and hobos while watching for someone whose political rants sound likely to produce action.
After an enjoyable bit of improvised role-playing, she winds up at the burned-up mansion The East calls home.
The group looks a bit like a cult, especially given the shaggy, Jesus-like appearance of head strategist Benji (Alexander Skarsgard), but is more of a democracy than it seems.
Members like Doc (Toby Kebbell) and Izzy (Ellen Page) offer villains from their own pasts - a reckless drug manufacturer, say, whose wares injured loved ones - and together they decide how to get close enough to do that company well-publicized harm.
The tidy paybacks will appeal to many viewers: Who hasn't thought execs who knowingly pollute waterways should have to bathe in their own slurry?
But putting a secret agent in the middle of their execution allows us to live the fantasy and question its justice simultaneously.
Sarah will inevitably be changed by this group. But will it be in the expected, manageable way - as her shark-like boss (Patricia Clarkson) warns, some sympathy is inevitable when you devote every waking moment to earning someone's trust - or will she go rogue?
The actors bringing this band of anarchists to life project enough wounded, uncertain self-righteousness to distance them from the generic zealots more often seen in this kind of tale, and Marling, working behind a couple of layers of role-playing, keeps audiences guessing about what Sarah actually believes.
Batmanglij balances emotional tension with practical danger nicely, a must in a story whose activist protagonists can make no distinction between the personal and the political. (By John DeFore/The Hollywood Reporter)

Napalm Records
Every once in a while something unique comes along and grabs my attention. A few weeks ago, I received a press release promoting Van Canto's third album, TRIBE OF FORCE, and the band's innovative style of A Capella Metal. A Capella music is group vocal music and/or singing without musical accompaniment from instruments…..the first thing that comes to mind is barber shop quartets, doo-wop groups and choirs. A Capella singing in Heavy Metal? No instruments? I was skeptical but I read the press release and saw that it included a link to a video of the band covering Manowar's 'Kings Of Metal' (from their second record HERO). I was impressed with the cover, especially with how I forgot that the only instrument used was the drums!
Based on their 'Kings Of Metal' cover, and their cover of Metallica's 'Battery', I decided to give TRIBE OF FORCE a try figuring that at least it would be a change of pace if the concept of vocalizing the guitars, bass and keyboards didn't work. The first single from the new album is 'Lost Forever' and it is a perfect way to kick start the album with it's Power Metal style and superb vocal harmonies. At first I wasn't too sure because the harmonized vocal intro had me thinking that this was going to be a less aggressive project but, once the drums kicked in, Van Canto really go for it! Frist the lead vocal trade-off between Philip and Inga is excellent, both have great voices with plenty of range, and the male/female co-lead vocal adds an extra dimension. Inga's operatic style easily puts her right up there with some other female vocal heavyweights in Metal like Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish), Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) and Simone Simons (Epica). The cool thing is you can also hear some Medieval/Rennaissance style like Candice Night (Blackmore's Night) in her delivery as well. What is most impressive is the guys doing the bass and guitars…..Stefan, Ross and Ingo do one hell of a job sounding like their instrument counterparts that you sometimes forget that it's really just singing. Listen to the guitar solo, that's Stefan singing the solo, not a guitar!
Needless to say, I was impressed. Van Canto continues in the same Gothic/Power Metal direction with 'To Sing A Metal Song', 'One To Ten' (featuring Victor Smolski of Rage), and 'I Am Human'. The vocals are excellent and the vocal instrumentation is excellent but it's at 'My Voice' where I start to get that "I've heard it before" feeling. 'My Voice' is a good original song with plenty of layers and tempo changes but I get the point and I am now listening for the guitars. Track six is a cover of Grave Digger's 'Rebellion' (from 1996's TUNES OF WAR) and features Grave Digger's Chris Boltendahl on lead vocals. Normally I don't welcome covers but this is a nice way to break the album up, especially with Boltendahl guesting. If you compare this version to the original, it's a pretty good rendition and it is amazing to hear the band vocalize the instruments. Listen again for the guitar solo by Stefan! The second single and video is 'Last Night Of The Kings' and it is a ballad with a Medieval/Rennaissance sound. This song could easily fit on the first two Blackmore's Night albums and the a capella singing fits perfectly.
The title track sounds a little more laid back, more commercial but 'Water Fire Heaven Earth' stands out with Inga's operatic vocals. It's more of a Gothic Metal mid-tempo song and it's very good due to the beauty of the lead vocal, Inga rivals her peers and is definitely a superb operatic vocalist. I wouldn't mind hearing more of a spotlight on Inga in the future, although Philip has a great voice too and the vocal trade-off is a perfect match. The second cover on TRIBE OF FORCE is Metallica's 'Master Of Puppets'…..it's not a bad cover and I actually like Van Canto's interpretation, I prefer the original but it's a fun comparison piece. 'Magic Taborea' starts off kind of slow and subdued but, as the song progresses, the tempo picks up and it has an epic sound to it. What impresses me here is the quick keyboard vocalizations, they are like the guitar solos, very impressive. Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica guests on the faster 'Hearted' and I like Van Canto's addition of some harsh vocals to the arrangement to make things more interesting. Last song is 'Frodo's Dream' and it's another epic sounding song but I'm just not getting into this one at all.
Bottom Line:
I have to admit that I was skeptical that Van Canto could pull off an A Capella album of heavy Metal songs but they are all talented vocalists and they do a superb job on each and every song. Let me add that drummer Bastiam Emig puts in a stellar performance over the entire record and really drives the songs. Being the only person playing an instrument, his performance needed to be great and it was. Overall, I liked the album, even the cover songs but, after multiple listens, I started to lose some interest. I have played TRIBE OF FORCE to death so I could really focus on those layers of vocals and the vocal instrumentation but I found that I was looking for the real thing after a while so I needed to give myself a break and come back to it with fresh ears. That doesn't diminish the talent and solid performances because there is a lot of quality work on this album and Van Canto isn't the novelty act that people might mistake them to be. These musicians are all extremely gifted and they do a great job creating interesting and enjoyable songs. I wouldn't be surprised to find this somewhere in my year's best list for 2010 and I am definitely going to check out the band's first two records.
Favorite Songs:
'Lost Forever', 'To Sing A Metal Song', 'Rebellion', 'Last Night Of The Kings', 'Water Fire Heaven Earth'

The Sartorius Entris2202i-1S is officially discontinued as of November 2019. There is no remaining stock on the Sartorius Entris2202i-1SUS. The replacement is the new Sartorius Entris BCE2202I-1S. The Entris II offers many new features over the predecessor model.
All information displayed herein is for archival and support purposes only.
Sartorius Entris2022i-1S offers 2200 grams weighing capacity with 0.01 grams graduations (2 decimal places). That is 1/100th of a gram or 10 milligrams. The large 7.1 x 7.1 inch weighing platform and German engineered magnetic force restoration weigh sensor delivers weight measurements in under 2 seconds. The Entris2202i-1S offers all the features of the Entris2202-1S with the added feature of motorized internal calibration adjustment, minimizing the need for external calibration weights. The internal motorized calibration function provides optimal weighing accuracy and operating convenience.
Performing calibration is simple with the Entris2202i-1S and ensures accuracy. Simply a press of the "Cal" button and the built-in motorized calibration weight located in the housing is applied and removed automatically for internal calibration. Calibration is the determination of any difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of a sample.
The Sartorius Entris2202-1S has several weighing applications (Weighing, Density, Percentage, Counting, Unstable Conditions, & Conversion). Unstable Conditions also known as dynamic animal weighing application allows this digital scale to weigh small insects that may be moving on the weighing pan accurately. Parts counting is another great application allowing this accurate scale to easily count those extremely small and lightweight parts the typical counting scales can't even sense the weight.
Sartorius Entris precision balances all feature a built-in RS-232 interface enabling you to transfer the weighing results to a computer or connect to the Sartorius YDP20-OCE printer.
The easy to read back-lit display and simple controls which make it easy to use this lab balance. When you need to get a heavy workload of repetitive applications done fast and reliably, day and day out, the last thing you need is a lab scale so complicated that it causes operating errors and wastes your valuable time as a result. Welcome to your new Entris balance comfort zone: a simple, easy-to-understand control panel, key function assignments and the easy-to-read display are ideal for efficient weighing in your lab. User-friendly operation: short, plain-English text prompts and cursor keys for navigation make it simple for you to configure the balance to meet your individual requirements. Outstanding readouts thanks to the backlit and high-contrast display (height of digits: 15 mm). The level indicator is positioned conveniently right next to the display so that checking whether the balance is level becomes "second nature" to the operator.
Sartorius products are manufactured with ISO9001 standards and have the CE mark. Sartorius has been proving their trustworthiness thanks to their top-of-the-line technology that ensures maximum accuracy. Sartorius begin building balances in 1871 and holds the Guinness Book of World Record for the most accurate balance in the world. When you have an excellent reputation and image in the technologically sophisticated field of weighing metrology there is no question Sartorius should be your only choice.
The Sartorius Entris Series consists 3 Analytical models (4 decimal places), 4 Milligram Balances (3 decimal places), 5 Precision Balances (2 decimal places) & 3 Precision Scales(1 decimal place) and you choose with internal calibration or without internal calibration. See the Complete Entris Series here.
Sartorius Extend ED2202-CW. The Sartorius Extend ED line was phased-out and replaced with the Sartorius Practum1102-1S, Quintix 1102-1S or Secura 1102-1S. The Secura, Quintix and Practum balances introduced in 2013 featured an entirely new cutting edge design offering with a touch screen display with graphical user interface. These new touch screen balances are very nice and offer advanced weighing applications, but they are also expensive and for some people they prefer tactile keypad buttons over a touchscreen. The Sartorius Entris2202i-1S is the same platform, housing, weigh sensor and embedded software as the Sartorius Extend. The only difference is a new display overlay, new microprocessor and the electronics used are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. The overall operation of the Extend and Entris are the same.
We understand purchasing an precision balance is a major capital expense and if you have any questions give us a call and one of our weighing experts can discuss your weighing application and get you the most affordable balance for your weighing needs.

Olympics in a country in motion
The political crisis, the environmental impact and an ailing economy – everything seems to indicate that the 2016 Summer Olympic Games will a little out of the ordinary. And that is precisely what makes them so appealing
"The world has recognized that the time has come for Brazil!" On October 2, 2009, when Rio de Janeiro was awarded the Olympic Games, the then president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was not the only person overwhelmed by emotion and pride. The Summer Olympic Games in Rio, which take place from August 5 – 21, in the middle of the Brazilian winter, are the first ever games in South America. Sure, there were the Games in Mexico City, Central America. But that was a lifetime ago, way back in 1968. Rio, an incredible amalgamation of New York and the Maldives, a place that combines the spirit of one of the world's iconic cities with that of a holiday paradise, is bringing its very own, distinctive charm to this Olympics.
A lot has happened since the president's ecstatic proclamation; both he and his successor, Dilma Rousseff, have been embroiled in scandal. However, this in no way lessens their historic achievement of helping 40 million poor Brazilians to escape poverty and rise up into the middle classes. The last major sporting event in Brazil, the World Football Championships two years ago, gave the country a much-needed boost in the form of a grassroots movement for better education and hospitals. The championships were an unprecedented success – with the exception of the host nation's bitter 7:1 defeat by the later World Champion, Germany, which saw them leave the tournament in the semi-finals. The anticipated chaos failed to materialize. Quite the opposite: many Germans found it easier and less stressful to change flights at a Brazilian airport than back at home. The only small speck of criticism in this morale and image-boosting event was the condemnation of building vastly expensive stadiums in cities like Manaus, in the middle of the rainforest, where football is, at best, a marginal sport.
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, sports centers will become schools
Those responsible for planning the Olympic Games, which are largely taking place in Rio de Janeiro, have learned from past mistakes. The city's mayor, Eduardo Paes, promised: "We are not going to build white elephants". His magic charm is the "public-private partnership". The Olympic Park is the venue for 16 disciplines, including tennis and watersports. "We are not wasting the taxpayers' money on buildings here," proclaimed Joaquim Carvalho, an assistant of the mayor, during a tour of the building site. "Everything is being paid for by private investors who then recoup their costs when the complexes are used."
So how do ordinary Brazilians benefit? "After the Games this will be turned into a public park that is open to everyone," explained Carvalho, "and the investors must pledge to hand over some of the buildings to the city so that they can be turned into schools. For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, sports centers will become schools." Thanks to the Olympic Games, Rio is experiencing an unprecedented construction boom. In the long run most of what is being built will actually improve the lives of the Cariocas – as the people of Rio call themselves. At long last, the underground network is being extended and 16 kilometers of new lines are being built. "300 000 people will use this new underground line," said Rio's deputy transport secretary, Bernardo Carvalho, "and every day there will be 2000 fewer cars on the streets." At Rio-Galeão international airport (GIG) a new 100 000-square-meter terminal with 26 new aircraft parking positions went up in only 20 months.
But something else is also changing, something far more fundamental. Kenneth Maxwell, an expert on Brazil at the University of Harvard, describes it thus: "Ever since the conquerors landed in Brazil, the state has had only one function: to develop mechanisms allowing those in power to build their personal fortune." For centuries, Brazil has been shaped by wealth and ignorance on one side, and passivity on the other. Now, Brazilians want to change their country and this has triggered a public and often very voluble debate. Visitors to the Olympics won't be able to overhear it – and experience it as an aspect of a dynamic country in motion.

Community life at Reed is intended to complement the college's academic program through a commitment to creating and learning together in a community of scholars from diverse racial, ethnic, national, religious, socioeconomic, and political backgrounds. Richard Scholz, the college's second president (1921–24), stated the college's aspiration in his inaugural address: "Education is not merely a process of instruction, nor an individual matter of self-development. It is also a matter of self-realization through membership in a community of like-minded and congenial 'comrades of the quest' for knowledge and for wisdom."
Honor Principle
Since the college's founding, members of the Reed community have described the Honor Principle as one of the most important and distinctive features of the college. Its origins can be traced to the first class of Reed students, who "voted to relieve the faculty of the burden of enforcing honesty in . . . tests, and agreed to make it a 'point of honor' not to cheat in examinations." In 1973 the faculty adopted a more explicit statement about the Honor Principle that reconfirmed the community's responsibility for "maintaining standards of honesty and mutual trust in their academic and social lives. . . . The Honor Principle also demands the respectful concern of each person for the other, and exercise of conscionable judgment in all actions toward individuals and their property." This statement continues, "Although the college does not call upon its members to sign a pledge of honor, it does recognize the necessity for tacit agreement of all its members to support the Honor Principle by governing their own conduct in accordance with its spirit, [and] by respecting regulations which the community has established."
The preamble to the community constitution applies to all students, faculty members, and staff members. It states, "We declare our commitment to responsible and honorable conduct in academic and community affairs, and we reaffirm one another's rights to freedom of inquiry and expression in coursework, scholarship, and the day-to-day life of the Reed community. Since such freedom requires an atmosphere of trust and mutual confidence, we further declare that dishonesty, intimidation, harassment, exploitation, and the use or threat of force are incompatible with the preservation of this freedom."
An honor council composed of equal numbers of students and members of the faculty and staff is responsible for educating members of the Reed community about the meaning and importance of the Honor Principle. Members of the various subcommittees of the honor council provide advice to those seeking resolution of grievances. The mediation subcommittee of the honor council oversees the process of formal mediation, including the provision of neutral third-party mediators. The community rights subcommittee may bring honor cases on behalf of the community when the community's rights have been violated. A student judicial board has primary responsibility for adjudicating formal complaints against students.
Student Services
The mission of student services is to promote student success and well-being, and to foster an inclusive Reed community.
Student services supports Reed's educational mission:
• by providing information, guidance, and resources;
• in collaboration with students, staff, faculty, alumni, and other community partners;
• through sponsoring comprehensive programs and services;
• in order to enhance learning in and beyond the classroom.
Dean of Student Services' Office
The dean of student services' office works with faculty, staff, parents, and students in an effort to coordinate a comprehensive network of support for all students. Students are invited to contact the dean of student services' office for guidance regarding their progress and engagement at the college, including questions relating to administrative and academic issues and college policies and procedures. Please visit http://www.reed.edu/student_services for more information.
Descriptions of the resources and services available through the various departments operating within student services are listed below.
Academic Support
At Reed, intellectual life is paramount, and students are challenged to embrace the goal of learning for knowledge, rather than for a grade. Because strengthening talents and building new skills happen both inside and outside the classroom, Reed has developed several important resources to complement the curriculum. In collaboration with faculty, academic support services offers peer tutoring, a cooperative study environment, writing support, workshops, and individualized coaching.
As fellow students, peer tutors have a deep understanding of Reed's approach to academics. Tutors are available on a drop-in basis for biology, chemistry, economics, physics, math, modern languages, statistics, and writing. Tutors collaborate with students to talk through a particularly difficult problem set, offer feedback on lab reports, ponder questions about course materials, or share a fresh perspective on a concept that's just out of reach. Individual tutors can meet with students for up to an hour per week in most subjects. All Reed tutors have been recommended by their professors and have completed specialized training to prepare them to help with Reed's challenging coursework. Cooperative learning is a cornerstone of the Reed education; this is such a popular resource that many tutors have been tutored themselves.
In addition, staff members are available to discuss study skills, learning styles, time management, test anxiety, goal setting, procrastination, quantitative skills development, and academic stress. Students can consult with staff to develop personalized strategies for success from their first Humanities 110 paper to the oral defense of their thesis project.
Additional resources, including tutor and workshop schedules are available at http://www.reed.edu/academic_support.
Career Services
The office of career services provides a variety of resources, counseling, and services to help students and alumni put their liberal arts education and their experiences to use in pursuit of a lifetime of fulfilling opportunities. Staff members encourage and assist students in self-discovery, career exploration, and in securing volunteer and paid summer internships. With this support, students can further advance their skills and career development while in school, and prepare to launch their careers after graduation.
In collaboration with faculty advisers, staff members also provide assistance to students in the pursuit of advanced studies in graduate or professional school.
Alumni of the college are enlisted as volunteers to support students in making the transition to the world beyond Reed. Students can search a secure online database of Reed alumni, and career services staff members can help students connect to individuals and organizations of interest. Many alumni volunteers visit campus to support career-related programming.
The staff works to develop relationships with faculty, staff, alumni, community partners and employers so that students have access to quality resources, special programs, and a variety of jobs and career opportunities.

Community Safety
The primary mission of the community safety office is the safety and well-being of the Reed community, including students, faculty, and staff. Community safety staff seek to achieve this through collaboration with all members of the Reed community as well as with a variety of supportive resources in the greater Portland area.
Community safety oversees the college's programs and activities in several key areas, including emergency preparedness, crime prevention and response (including sexual assault), and alcohol and other drug policy monitoring, and acts as the primary liaison office with law enforcement.
The office operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing patrols of the college campus and facilities. Reed College community safety officers (CSOs) are trained and able to assist with CPR and first aid, fire safety, criminal incident investigation and reporting, crime prevention, vehicle jump starts and unlocks, vehicle and bicycle registrations, and parking. Community safety dispatch serves as a resource for students with medical or psychological needs after hours by helping students connect with the appropriate resource, and by working with parents who need to call their student in an emergency. The emergency phone number is 503/788-6666. This department also staffs the college switchboard: 503/771-1112.
Working to keep Reedies safe, CSOs provide safety escorts on campus 24 hours a day, and the college provides free bus service at night to take off-campus students who live in the vicinity from the library to their doorsteps.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/community_safety for more information.
Community Service
Students for Education, Empowerment, and Direct Service (SEEDS) provides information, education, and leadership for students, faculty, staff, and alumni who participate in community service activities. SEEDS works to match individuals and groups with local, national, and international opportunities to serve others. During the school year volunteers actively engage the community in a variety of ways, including reading with elementary school children, teaching English to immigrants, and restoring frog habitat at nearby Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge.
SEEDS coordinates many ongoing programs throughout the year, most created and led by Reed students. Reedies serve as mentors and tutors in a wide range of educational settings. Through established partnerships with local schools and non-profit organizations, Reedies also engage in a variety of other educational and outreach service activities on issues ranging from empowering immigrant laborers to educating and engaging homeless youth and adults. SEEDS regularly offers one-day service projects that engage students in environmental restoration and issues of hunger and housing in the Portland community.
SEEDS promotes special activities during holidays, school breaks, and orientation week to offer Reedies a chance to focus their creative energies outside the classroom. The SEEDS website, www.reed.edu/seeds, hosts a database of local volunteer opportunities, announcements about upcoming events, information about the off-campus federal work study internship program, links to volunteer opportunities by area of interest, information about funding opportunities for projects, and other resources to help the Reed community engage in service.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/seeds for more information.
Disability Support Services
As a part of Reed College's commitment to providing equality of opportunity and meaningful access to all students, disability support services takes a highly individualized approach to providing services for students with disabilities. Upon receipt of a request for services and the appropriate documentation, student services works with the student to provide or establish the most suitable and reasonable accommodations or services given the context of a particular class, professor's pedagogy, or area of campus.
Disability support services can provide students not yet diagnosed or without documentation with coaching from professional staff and/or referrals to community resources including evaluation and diagnostic specialists. Students with mobility, chronic medical, psychological, visual, hearing, attentional, and learning disabilities, Asperger's syndrome/autism spectrum, and/or other conditions that impact the student's access to educational opportunities at Reed are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services.
Accommodations and other resources provided by disability support services are designed to enable all students to access what Reed has to offer. Reasonable accommodations should in no way alter the expectations of a course, nor should they fundamentally alter the content of a course. Students with disabilities are held to the same academic expectations as their peers.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/academic_support/disability_services for more information.
Health and Counseling Services
The Reed College health and counseling center is available to all regularly enrolled students. The health and counseling center provides primary health care with an emphasis on prevention and health promotion; it strives to help students maintain and/or return to health as quickly as possible. A staff of nurses, nurse practitioners, and part-time physicians provides these services. When students' needs exceed Reed's primary care services and specialty care is required, staff members will make and facilitate referrals. All of a student's immunizations must be up to date in order to enroll at Reed College.
All healthcare provided by college staff is covered by student fees. Additional charges will result from lab work, X-rays, and prescriptions. All students are required to have health insurance coverage to ensure that they can cover at least some portion of specialty or major medical needs. Students are encouraged to consider enrolling in the college health policy, which is tailored toward those medical expenses likely to be incurred by college students. Reed health insurance is also available to MALS students. Given the limits of coverage existing for many managed care plans, the health plan available through the college is recommended as additional coverage to plans that parents choose to continue to carry.
Students can schedule an appointment, or come in without an appointment to be assessed by a nurse. If necessary, the nurse will arrange for a scheduled appointment with a nurse practitioner or physician. Students with urgent health care concerns after hours can call the Community Careline Consult Service. The consulting nurses will offer medical advice and refer students to appropriate medical care as needed. Students needing emergency assistance should call 911 and/or the community safety office, where staff will help students connect with the proper resources.
In addition to medical care, the college also provides counseling services. Staff members include psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, a psychiatrist, graduate interns, and psychology and psychiatry residents. Students seek counseling for many reasons, including the stress of personal problems, academic pressures, adjustment to college life, psychiatric disorders, and problems related to drugs and alcohol. In addition to individual counseling, groups are available as specific interest and needs dictate. Counseling staff members are also available for consultation, training, and workshops in areas of student interest and needs.
Students who wish to be seen for individual counseling may schedule an appointment; every effort will be made for students to be seen within a week. Daily walk-in hours are available during the week for urgent concerns. There is a counselor on call after hours and on the weekend for urgent and emergency situations. Reed contracts with ProtoCall, an after-hours mental health telephone triage service, to provide mental health consultation and advice whenever the health center is closed. This service is available to students, or anyone with a concern about a current student, and may be accessed by calling Reed's main switchboard and asking for the counselor on call. Callers do not need to identify themselves or the student about whom they are concerned in order to speak to the ProtoCall clinician.
Reed also offers group acupuncture to help students to achieve and maintain optimal health and wellness. Students may be referred to acupuncture services by a health and counseling center clinician, or can request a consultation with the acupuncturist to discuss whether acupuncture treatment is indicated for the student's concern.
All health and counseling records remain separate from student academic records and are completely confidential as required by state and federal laws and clinical licensure. Information is released only with the student's permission, unless a medical and/or psychiatric emergency seriously threatens the safety and well-being of the student or of a member of the Reed College and/or off-campus community.

International Student Services
An exceptionally diverse group of students benefits from a range of programs and support offered by international student services (ISS). ISS programming—including international orientation, the host family program, and the InterConnect mentor program—offers support not only to foreign citizens, but also to U.S. citizens who have spent a portion of their lives abroad. ISS provides assistance and guidance on immigration regulations for students F-1 or J-1 visas. Additionally, ISS collaborates with other campus offices—including academic support, the dean of students, career services, and residence life—to provide resources and programs that help international students acclimate to life in the U.S. and thrive at Reed.
Please visit http://www.reed.edu/iss for more information.
Multicultural Affairs
Multicultural affairs seeks to create an affirming campus environment and to support the experiences of all students. By creating small- and large-scale programs in the Multicultural Resource Center (MRC), multicultural affairs staff provide opportunities for the community to consider how one's relationship with issues of ability, class, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, and social perspectives affect the ways in which people understand and interact with one another. The MRC houses a small library of materials that addresses issues of multiculturalism, including movies and music. In addition to campus programs, multicultural affairs is responsible for coordinating the peer mentor program described below.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/multicultural_affairs for more information.
Peer Mentor Program
The peer mentor program, begun in 2001 by Patty Hsue '02, pairs new students who identify as students of color, first-generation college students, and any student who is interested in addressing issues of diversity with current students. The program provides an opportunity for students to develop a supportive community through initiatives that include small-group discussions, social and recreational outings, and small group mentoring time. The program is coordinated through multicultural affairs with the support of staff members in admission and academic support services.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/multicultural_affairs/peer_mentor_program for more information.
Residence Life and Food Services
The residence life office is responsible for providing students with well-balanced, safe, and healthy living options on campus. A primary goal of the staff is to help students develop a community within each of the residence halls and to provide residents with a variety of opportunities for personal and social growth and development. Establishing living units compatible with students' educational needs, safety, lifestyles, and interests is of primary concern. Living on campus offers proximity to classes and a chance to participate in social and educational events planned by the staff with residents of the floor. Being on campus allows easy access to the college's resources and services. Over 60 percent of Reed students, including almost all first-year students, live in the college residence halls, houses, and apartments.
Reed's residence halls, in six area groups on the campus, are characterized by distinctive architecture intended to foster community living. Housing choices are typically coed, with the exception of one all-female floor. The majority of non–first-year students live in singles, with most first-year students living in divided double and a few triple rooms. Within the residence halls specific communities are organized by students and include communities concerned about lifestyle choices such as living substance-free, or themes such as fantasy and science fiction, outdoor adventure, Arabic culture, or academic interests. All residence halls are nonsmoking. In addition, Reed's five language houses accommodate non–first-year students studying French, German, Spanish, Russian, or Chinese.
Apartments offer students a combination of on- and off-campus living. A short walk from the center of campus, these furnished one- and two-bedroom units house one or two residents respectively. The apartments usually house non–first-year students.
Returning students select housing for the following year through a housing lottery held in the spring. New and transfer students select their preferred housing options, which staff members then use to make room assignments. First-year students who meet the housing application deadline are guaranteed housing on campus; transfer students are provided rooms on campus on a space-available basis.
To help students build communities within the halls, non–first-year students serve as house advisers. House advisers are selected and trained to help students adjust to Reed, provide information, and offer support for the students with whom they live. House advisers encourage students to participate in programs and activities and get involved in campus life. In addition to the house advisers, five full-time professional resident directors live on campus to support the house advisers, serve as a resource for all students, and provide assistance in emergencies.
All students who live on campus, except apartment residents and students living in the co-ops, contract for their meals on an annual basis. Students who live in the apartments or off campus have the option of participating in the board program or purchasing Commuter Commons Cash. All those on board plans eat in the centrally located commons (dining hall).
The food service program operates on a declining balance system. Each student on board pays a fee at the beginning of the term and is credited with "commons cash" (dollars) to be spent in the dining hall. Dining services are available approximately 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday, and five hours per day on the weekends. Information describing the meal plans is available on the "Food Service & Meal Plans" section of the residence life webpage.
The residence life office maintains listings of off-campus housing resources linked from the residence life home page, http://www.reed.edu/res_life.
Sports, Recreation, and Physical Education
There are many opportunities to participate in a wide variety of sports and physical fitness activities at Reed. In addition to the more than 50 physical education courses the college offers, the physical education department sponsors a number of team sports and special events throughout the year. Last year Reed students participated in men's basketball, men's and women's Ultimate Frisbee and soccer, women's and men's rugby, squash, and rowing. Special events included the juggling festival; the March Madness basketball tournament; badminton, racquetball, and tennis play days; and fall and spring softball tournaments. Reed also offers outdoor education classes, including white-water rafting, rock climbing, winter camping, and backcountry navigation. The sports center includes a fitness facility, a martial arts room, new and renovated squash courts, reconfigured and updated locker rooms, an elevator, and classroom space.
The sports center provides nutrition and wellness counseling services. The health and wellness program works with the college's food service, the health and counseling center, student activities, residence life, and physical education to bring education and support to Reed students in the areas of nutrition, stress management, mindfulness, and other healthy strategies for managing the academic rigors of Reed. One complimentary service offered each semester is a wellness retreat that includes instruction in yoga, mindfulness, and massage, and offers healthy teas and nourishing foods.
Please visit http://www.reed.edu/sports_center for more information on physical education classes, team sports and events.
Student Activities
The goal of the student activities office is to provide experiences that complement the academic program by helping students discover their place on campus and engage in holistic development. In support of this, the student activities office provides the following:
• Resources for students to manage events and organizations
• Programs to help students gain valuable leadership skills
• Opportunities for entertainment and educational events on and off campus
• Resources to help students gain the most from their involvement and engage in personal development
Programs and services include support of student groups and student senate to advise and assist with event planning and registration. Student activities coordinates Reed Arts Week, Gray Fund events, and new Reedie orientation. Student activities also coordinates a leadership and involvement program to help Reed students gain skills to be effective in student organizations, manage events and become well-rounded individuals.
Visit http://www.reed.edu/student_activities for more information.
Special Events
Orientation (August)
Reed offers new students—first-year, transfer, and special-admission students—and their parents several days of orientation before classes begin in the fall. At these events new students meet with returning students and members of the faculty and staff at events designed to provide a relaxed and informative introduction to the college.
Typically, orientation includes introduction to the intellectual life at Reed through discussions about the Reed curriculum, humanities program, and academic advising, in addition to informal opportunities to meet faculty members and returning students. Other sessions are meant to help students learn about the college culture and our expectations for how they govern themselves under the honor principle. Our odyssey programs, which take place immediately before orientation, allow students to meet others interested in outdoor or volunteer programs, take part in the peer mentor program, or participate in international student orientation. A detailed description of the orientation program is available online at www.reed.edu/orientation.
Gray Fund Events (throughout the year)
In 1991 the late Betty Gray, a longtime friend of the college, endowed a fund, the purpose of which is "to assure that Reed College will have stimulating cultural, social, and recreational programs of excellent quality on a regular and planned basis that will interest students, faculty, and staff members and involve these three groups together in activities outside the classroom that complement the college's academic program." A committee composed of students, faculty and staff members, in association with the assistant director of student activities, acts as an advisory group for use of the fund. Events have included lectures by hip hop artist Common, authors Sherman Alexie and Ursula Le Guin, graphic novelist Art Spiegelman, and activist Cleve Jones; concerts by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and Reel Big Fish; and many other activities. Recreational trips have included sea kayaking, wildflower hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Social trips have included plays, museums, glass slumping and fusing, a gourmet cooking class, and more. The Gray Fund committee plans events throughout the year and encourages input from the community.
Paideia (January)
Paideia is a Greek word that means, roughly translated, "education." Taking place during the period before the beginning of the spring semester, Paideia is a time to enjoy being at Reed without academic expectations or pressure. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Reed offer informal, noncredit courses and lectures on a wide variety of topics.
Reed Arts Week (March)
Reed Arts Week (RAW) is a celebration of the arts at Reed, including music, dance, theatre, films, creative writing, and the visual arts. In addition to student installations and performances, major artists join in the campus celebration by providing various forms of installations, performing original works, and participating in master class work with members of the Reed community.
Canyon Day (April and October)
One of the true Reed traditions, Canyon Day was begun in order to make the canyon a suitable recreation space for the college community. Over time, it developed into a community effort to clean up and preserve the natural ecosystem of the canyon. Music, food, friends, and games accompany the day's activities.
Renn Fayre (May)
Originally, Renaissance Fayre was a one-day event during the spring semester that turned Reed into the Age of the Renaissance as authentically as possible. Renn Fayre has evolved into a campuswide end-of-the-year festival. On the last day of classes, seniors march from the steps of the library to the registrar's office to celebrate turning in their theses and to be congratulated by the president. This thesis parade kicks off a weekend-long celebration with music, food and drink, sports, games, arts and crafts, and fireworks.
