MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2013 / 3BL Media /PRNewswire/ -- Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the world's largest provider of health care products and services to office-based dental, medical and animal health practitioners, today announced that the Company, its supplier partners and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation have fulfilled its commitment to contribute more than $1 million in financial donations and essential health care supplies to 11 relief organizations serving communities affected by Hurricane Sandy, which struck areas of the Northeastern United States on October 29. The Henry Schein Cares Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that carries out its mission through financial and health care product donations that support health care professionals and community-based programs focused on prevention, wellness, and treatment; disaster preparedness and relief; and capacity building of health institutions that provide training and care.
"We are proud to support the extraordinary work of the 11 organizations receiving our financial support and donations of health care supplies to assist in recovery efforts for communities affected by Hurricane Sandy," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Henry Schein. "These donations, supported by the generosity of our Team Schein Members and supplier partners, exemplify the deep commitment to giving back to society that has been part of the character of Henry Schein since we were founded eight decades ago."
The Company donated essential health care and hygiene products to relief organizations serving communities affected by the storm. The donations were made through Henry Schein Cares, the Company's global corporate social responsibility program, in partnership with the Company's supplier partners. Recipients included AmeriCares, Direct Relief International and Heart to Heart International.
The Company's Henry Schein Hurricane Relief Fund, established through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, provided a pathway for Team Schein Members and others who were interested in supporting relief efforts to contribute. Henry Schein matched all donations contributed to this fund by Team Schein Members. All proceeds of the Fund were applied directly and completely to support the relief efforts of the following local organizations:
- Island Harvest;
- FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties;
- North Shore Animal League America;
- ADA Foundation Hurricane Sandy Fund;
- New York State Dental Foundation Relief Fund;
- Empire State Medical, Scientific and Educational Foundation, Inc.; and

In addition, the Company held drives for Team Schein Members to donate goods at its headquarter offices located in Melville, N.Y. In all, the Team Schein Member campaign collected more than 2,900 pounds of food, clothing, shoes, coats, linens, diapers and other personal items for Island Harvest and The Salvation Army. Henry Schein Cares also provided "Hurricane Sandy Cleaning Kits" (including gloves, masks, gauze, paper towels, drape sheets, trash bags and hand sanitizer) to Team Schein Members who needed assistance in their personal clean-up efforts.
In addition to its support of community relief efforts, Henry Schein supported health professionals affected by the storm in a myriad of ways. The Company opened a disaster relief hotline for dentists, physicians, and veterinarians who experienced operational, logistical, or financial issues as a result of the storm. The Company offered a host of financial services to affected customers, and Henry Schein Professional Practice Transitions provided licensing assistance and other guidance to health care practitioners who wished to practice out of state or relocate. Lastly, Henry Schein held an expert-led symposium, in conjunction with leading health care professional associations, examining all aspects of practice recovery. The symposium, entitled "Recovery Empowerment Symposium: Emerging from the Storm," was held in New York City on November 16 and was open to all interested health care professionals.
In the past, Henry Schein Cares has responded to other disasters including the Colorado Wildfires in the United States in 2012; the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, earthquake in New Zealand, and flood in Australia in 2011; the earthquakes in Haiti, China, Chile in 2010; the flood in Pakistan in 2010; the cyclone in Myanmar and earthquake in China in 2008; Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005; the 2004 Asian tsunami; the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan; the conflict in Israel, Lebanon, and Palestine; and September 11.

COLUMBIA, Md. (AP) — Police say they are still trying to determine the identity of a gunman who killed two employees of a store at a Maryland shopping mall. The gunman also died.
The attack took place at a skateboard shop called Zumiez on the upper level of the Mall in Columbia, a suburb of both Baltimore and Washington, according to Howard County Police Chief William J. McMahon.
McMahon said authorities ran into difficulty in identifying the gunman because of concerns that he might be carrying explosives.
The two victims were a man and a woman, both in their 20s. They were employees of the shop where the attack occurred. Their names were not released.
Five other people were injured, none seriously.

Meet CIS Graduate Kenny Lawhorn
Kenny Lawhorn is a proud graduate of James Madison University. He earned a degree in CIS, graduating in 1987.
Why JMU?
He selected JMU based on positive feedback from friends who attended and expressed pleasure in campus life. He also felt there were a broader range of majors that were offered. He says, "Once I visited campus, I could see myself going to school there."
Although a native of D.C., Kenny grew up in Spotsylvania County, graduating from Courtland High School. He and his family currently live in Fairfax Station, Va.
Kenny always knew he wanted to do something with business and software development, so he selected computer information systems as his major. He also recalled hearing an army recruiter talking about software development and the increasing importance of computer information systems.
CIS Major
He really enjoyed his CIS classes at JMU. He says, "I felt that my experience at JMU prepared me for the real world. I was a first generation college student, and I really didn't know what to expect. I made many friends that I still see. The experience at JMU exceeded my expectations. I developed a keen interest in computers. I loved the real life aspects of college world and computers. My experience really helped to launch my career. The classes introduced me to skills needed in real life."
He remembers his "top notch" professors, such as Don Musselman, Glen Smith, and Dr. Fortch. They advised him to do more advance programming; companies will be looking for students with those skills, so he might as well acquire those skills now and be ahead of the game. Kenny appreciated the interaction with faculty, and the good feedback. He appreciated all the help and good advice from the career placement office. He says, "I was overwhelmed by positives at JMU."
Kenny started his career with Arthur Anderson 26 years ago. Although he's technically been with the same company throughout his career, the company has transitioned from an accounting partnership into a consulting firm into a publicly traded company, now known as Accenture where he is a Managing Director. He felt like he worked for three different companies due to the transitions and changes.
During his early career, he worked as a programmer and designer. He soon progressed up to the ranks of management. Over 18 years, he worked on several transformation projects for both commercial and government clients, focusing on modernizing systems to improve efficiency.
He says that after the 9/11 attack, he wanted to do something that would have an impact. He had friends who lost family members in the Pentagon, and he felt compelled to become involved in a project that would tighten up security for our country. Under Kenny's leadership, Accenture Federal Services was recently awarded a five-year Government contract to modernize and transform identity management and credentialing system capabilities for workers who are in and around sensitive, secure areas.
Kenny says he enjoys his gratifying relationships with clients, as well as the whole networking piece. "I met great people who were instrumental in giving me advice, and in taking personal time to help me navigate the system."
When he switched roles, many managers wanted to go with him. Although they knew it was risky, they wanted to stick with Kenny and learn new skills. He says, "This was very rewarding. I feel that I've helped to create a runway for these guysthat will help them grow their careers. Others did this for me throughout in my career and it feels good being able to do the same for the managers following me."
Connection to JMU
Kenny has remained connected to JMU since he graduated in 1987. He did a lot of recruiting at JMU in his early career. He felt a sense of wanting to give back. Accenture taught employees to give back to their universities. They encouraged them to give by matching their gifts.
Over time, Kenny became involved with the CIS Advisory Board and the Parents Council Board. He says, "I'm blown away when I come back to JMU and see all the bright young minds." I like to go back and tell stories about getting out there in the world and working hard, and good things will happen.
He works with some of the IT consulting classes and entrepreneurship classes. He has also worked with students via teleconferencing. He comes to campus often for the CIS Advisory Board, helping to refine the curriculum so it continues to be relevant to the industry.
He says, "I hope JMU and the COB will continue to maintain the culture of growing strong business leaders. I hope the student/faculty relationship remains strong, and that online learning doesn't erode that." He goes on to say, "As I look back, I appreciated the opportunity to get to the professor. I knew him from class, I met with him during office hours. This was a real world experience. You'll need to meet with your boss, and meet with people you don't know. These relationships are really how you make things happen and get things done."
Personal Life
Kenny and his wife, Julie, have three boys. The 20-year-old twins, Donovan and Geoffrey, are juniors at JMU majoring in Quantitative Finance, with a minor in Computer Science. Their youngest son, Mitchell, is a senior at Fork Union Military Academy, and he has plans to attend JMU.
Twins run in the Lawhorn family. Kenny has a twin brother, who has twins. Kenny says his twins are very competitive. They are both interning at a startup green company in Durham, N.C.
Kenny enjoys skiing, golfing, and vacationing at the beach. He loves betting on the ponies; his favorite track is Saratoga Springs. His dad was an avid horseman, so Kenny grew up learning the ins and outs of horse racing.
Advice for students
Kenny offers this advice for students: understand the skills you want to build; make yourself relevant every day; find a way to be involved; don't be afraid to take risks or fail; you can learn a lot that will lead to future growth and success; you need to recognize that.
Kenny has taken heed of his own advice, taking risks, sometimes failing, but always learning and leaning toward success.

The Chicago Fire are rapidly closing in on a new record for ties in a season with their 12th of the season in a lively 1-1 draw against Chivas USA on Saturday night at The Home Depot Center.
The Fire, who extended their unbeaten streak to eight games, got on the board first as forward Dominic Oduro used his speed to beat the Chivas back line and slot home in the 26th minute. Barely a minute into the second half, Chivas USA's Nick LaBrocca, one of the best players on the field, equalized on a spectacular volley which dipped under the crossbar.
Oduro broke away from the Chivas defense time and again during the first half and fired in a shot that forced Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy to make a sprawling save in the 8th minute. Just seven minutes later, Oduro again broke free and once again forced Kennedy into a save.
But the Ghanaian forward won his one-on-one battle with Kennedy with a goal in the 26th minute. Oduro's teammate, Patrick Nyarko pass, fed the striker on a run and Oduro was able to beat Kennedy from a difficult angle to give the Fire a 1-0 lead.
Just before the half, the Rojiblancos came alive with a pair of chances within a minute of one another. In the 31st minute, LaBrocca sent in a shot that rattled the crossbar and just a minute later, Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson snuffed out a Jorge Flores chance from close range.
But with Chivas USA pressing for an equalizer during the closing moments of the first half, the Fire nearly doubled their lead in the 42nd minute when Oduro forced a save from Kennedy that nearly bounced in if not for a clearance by Michael Umaña.
Chivas found their equalizer just moments into the second half when LaBrocca fired a shot that dipped under the crossbar and beat Johnson for his fourth goal of the season.
The spritely midfielder was a catalyst for the Rojiblancos throughout the half, leading the push for the go-ahead goal. LaBrocca was nearly successful in the 71st minute when he fired a shot that went just over the bar after sailing past Johnson's outstretched hands.
However, as the match wore on, both teams struggled to generate scoring chances as they looked to preserve a point. It was Chivas USA which had the best chance to break the deadlock when Zarek Valentin sent in a cross that forward Victor Estupiñán headed into the hands of Johnson.
With the result, both teams remain stuck on 18 points apiece in the standings. The Fire will continue their stay in Los Angeles, taking on the LA Galaxy next week, while Chivas USA face a shortened week with a match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday.

CHI -- Dominic Oduro 5 (Patrick Nyarko 3) 26

Vin Sylvia: NH big man in Big DanceBY VIN SYLVIA
March 20. 2013 10:12PM
SCOTT Fitzgerald is thrilled about how things have turned out for Kaleb Tarczewski, though he can't help but think about what would have been had Tarczewski completed his eligibility at Claremont's Stevens High School.
Note we said "would," not "might."
A 7-foot freshman, Tarczewski is the starting center for the University of Arizona, which begins play in the NCAA men's basketball tournament tonight against Belmont. Four years ago, he was the starting center for Stevens, playing beside 6-foot 6-inch forward Kevin O'Connor in NHIAA Class M (now Division III) competition.
Fitzgerald, now at Kearsarge Regional of Sutton, was director of athletics for Stevens in 2009, and, he recalled Wednesday, Division I coaches already were contacting him about Tarczewski. Visions of an unprecedented period of Stevens basketball dominance fired his imagination.
"I know exactly what it would have been like," he said, launching into a description of life with two seasoned big men competing in a small-school league. "The gym would have been packed for every game. You would've had to get there before the JVs played to see the varsity. We would have had Division I (college) coaches in the gym all the time, and there's no doubt in my mind Stevens would have won its first state title in more than 100 years of basketball at the school."
But Tarczewski transferred before the next season to prestigious St. Mark's School in Southborough, Mass., where he knew he would have a better opportunity to develop his basketball skills in addition to getting a great education. The following year, O'Connor left for equally renowned St. Paul's School in Concord, where he continued to play basketball and also became a highly successful competitive rower.
Stevens still hasn't won that elusive state basketball title.
"When Caleb talked to me at the end of his sophomore year about the opportunity to go to St. Mark's, I wanted him to stay because he was a great kid - he's smart, he had good grades - but I told him he had to do what he thought was best for him," Fitzgerald said, adding that he had a similar conversation with O'Connor the following year.
"I have no regret or disappointment over their choices," Fitzgerald said. "Obviously, both went on to great things at their next schools, so their decisions worked out well for them. But it would have been cool if they'd stayed ..."
A raw talent still adjusting to his height as a Stevens sophomore (he'd failed to make the varsity as a freshman, despite being close to 6-feet, 10 inches at the time), Tarczewski developed his skills and refined his game in three seasons at St. Mark's and at multiple summer camps - developed them to the point where he became one of the most widely recruited players in the country.
As he did in choosing St. Mark's he appears to have made a good decision in selecting Arizona.
Nicknamed "Zeus" - his last name is pronounced Tar-ZOO-ski - the 20-year-old Granite Stater has started all 32 games for the Wildcats, averaging 6.5 points and 6.1 rebounds in 21 minutes per game. Arizona has gone 25-7, earning the No. 6 seed in the West Regional.
Tarczewski will handle tip-off duties when the Wildcats step into the Big Dance against No. 11 Belmont (26-6) at 7 p.m., and pro scouts will be watching.
Although his statistics this season are relatively modest, multiple factors make Tarczewski an almost surefire NBA prospect. First, of course, there's his size: a chiseled 255 pounds on that 7-foot frame. Then there's the matter of how far he's come in a fairly short time - from that gangly kid who couldn't make the Stevens varsity to MVP of the Independent School League at St. Mark's (he averaged 20.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks as a senior last season) to an honorable mention on the Pac-10 Conference all-freshman list this year.
With a reputation for being smart, hard-working and eminently coachable, Tarczewski is expected to continue that improvement over the next season or two at Arizona before facing the decision of whether to leave school early to enter the NBA Draft. Once he's there, he'll become just the third former New Hampshire high school player to make it to the NBA, following Portsmouth High's Jeff Cross, who played in 21 games for the Los Angeles Clippers in 1986, and, of course, Concord High's Matt Bonner, now in his seventh season with the San Antonio Spurs and ninth season in the NBA overall.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Tonight, most of Claremont - and much of the state - will be watching when Tarczewski jumps center for Arizona in the NCAA tournament. No need to imagine: The big man from New Hampshire has hit the big time.

Lawsuit alleges improper conduct by Bethlehem treatment center's director and her husbandBY BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader
March 17. 2014 6:35PM
HAVERHILL — The director of a residential mental health treatment home in Bethlehem which closed abruptly last month is, along with her husband, being sued by the parents of a Virginia woman who claim the director's husband tried to initiate a romantic relationship with their daughter, who was receiving treatment at Sovereign Journey.
The Grafton County Superior Court lawsuit was filed against psychologist Karen Fitzhugh and her husband, Mark Fitzhugh, of Peacham, Vt., and their treatment center, which was in a large and prominent Victorian home on Main Street in Bethlehem.
The family claims that in-person and text messages from Mark Fitzhugh to their 19-year-old daughter started last summer and steadily became more "inappropriate and personal" and "sexually suggestive and flirtatious."
They allege that on one occasion he drove their daughter away from the facility in a car.
When word of Mark Fitzhugh's alleged behavior reached families of the women between the ages of 18 and 24 who lived in the group home and were being treated there, most pulled clients out of Sovereign Journey and stopped paying the approximately $10,000 per month fees for each woman, effectively killing the business, according to court documents.
Mark Fitzhugh is not a licensed clinician, according to the suit, and was working at the facility in information technology.
Nevertheless, when the plaintiff in the case was "having a difficult day" last summer, Karen Fitzhugh suggested she "go over and talk with her husband, Mark Fitzhugh," the plaintiffs say in the lawsuit.
Things deteriorated from there for the woman, who suffered a setback in her condition in succeeding weeks as a result of Mark Fitzhugh's behavior, her family alleges.
Designed to treat young women suffering from emotional disorders that included anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and school failure, Sovereign Journey was a $1.2 million federal project that benefited from Housing and Urban Development community block grant money.
In addition to helping the 13 clients who lived there at a time for nine to 12 months each, it was intended to provide at least 14 jobs for low- to moderate-income residents of the economically strapped North Country in the Bethlehem area when it opened in February 2012.
The state of New Hampshire also kicked in an additional $360,000 low-cost loan to help the treatment facility get started. That loan came through the state's Community Development Finance Authority.
The civil action filed by plaintiffs' attorney Jon Strasburger of Manchester claims negligence and breach of contract, and seeks unspecified damages for the teenager and her family.
A response filed on behalf of the Fitzhughs by Gloucester, Mass., attorney Christopher Driscoll denies the main points claimed against them.
Driscoll, in a telephone interview Monday, said neither he nor the Fitzhughs would comment on the case, including a statement in his written response to the suit that acknowledges nearly all families who had women in Sovereign Journey's programs had pulled them out in recent months.
Strasburger did not return a message Monday seeking comment, including on a statement in the lawsuit he filed that says a psychiatrist treating residents at Sovereign Journey reported the allegations against Mark Fitzhugh to the state, which sparked an investigation.
Rachel Lakin of New Hampshire Health and Human Services' Bureau of Adult and Elderly Services did not return a message Monday.
A spokeswoman at HUD's Boston office was working late Monday to get information on the large Sovereign Journey grant.
Meanwhile, regarding the state portion of the funding, Kevin Flynn, New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority's communications director, said Monday, despite Sovereign Journey's apparent business failure, Karen Fitzhugh had fulfilled her obligation to create the jobs she promised, and CDFA has completed its dealings with her facility.
"We're disappointed that this business did not succeed, and obviously with the loss of those jobs. We hoped it would give an economic boost to Bethlehem," Flynn said.

I just saw the symbol of the atheism by luck in one of the streets of Egypt in downtown. I never expected to see it here, but that gives me hope :)
Views: 406
i wonder who painted it there !!?? think someone found it on the internet and thought it stands for anarchism not atheism ...anyway it's good to see it :))))
Maybe. But the anarchist one looks totally different by the way. I found another one next to Tal3at 7arb just in front of Grillon, this one is easier to see :D
I like the design, looks really cool. Sadly, however, that looks remarkably similar to chris angel's trademark....
Yeah, and it looks also similar to the anarchist one.

A Ravenswood outpost of a Logan Square BYOB Chilapan opened on March. This new location of the family-owned Mexican restaurant (1522 W. Montrose Ave. 773-319-6421) features more seating – 74 seats inside and 35 outside – while maintaining the same homey, whimsical vibe of the original eatery.
There's more room to work in the kitchen, so expect to find all your old favorites on the menu along with a few creative specials. Another new addition for this location is a chef's table, where diners will be served a multi-course meal that will run about $60-65 for two. (Word is the chef will personally serve each course.)
So why Ravenswood? Owner Olga Vega-Miranda knew the space was perfect for a second outpost when she noticed a few similarities with the original location: Both spots are CTA accessible, both are in up-and-coming neighborhoods and both have great dessert options nearby like Margie's Candies.
"We wanted to be able to grow with the neighborhood this time at this location as well," said Vega-Miranda.
Chilapan's hours at this location are Monday-Thursday from 5 p.m.-10 p.m.; Friday from 5 p.m.-11 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.-8 p.m.

SAND HILLS � This probably wasn�t the way the Mosley girls soccer team expected to celebrate its senior night.
Unable to locate a second referee to officiate the game, Mosley and Bay canceled their non-district soccer matchup at Bucks Field on Thursday night. It was an unfortunate development for two high-caliber teams preparing for their respective district tournaments.
�This was possibly the last opportunity to play in front of their parents and fans,� Mosley coach Marek Betkowski said of his seniors. �I strongly believe we�ll be back in Panama City and playing this season. This game has been scheduled for a long time, and the girls deserved to have two refs here.�
The two teams are the best in the county. Mosley is 13-1-2 this season, and Bay is 15-2-1.
�I think we are ready� for the postseason, Betkowski said. �We�re in good health. We�re doing a great job on the field. We have great chemistry off the field. We�re in a very good position to start the district tournament.�
Bay coach William Carter said the cancellation was a missed opportunity for his players.
�The whole reason we scheduled a team like Mosley was in order to give the girls a good workout,� Carter said.

BURLINGTON –Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus has been detected in two batches of bird-biting mosquitoes collected from the town of Whiting on August 19. This is the first detection of EEE virus in southern Addison County this year, and the first detection of this virus in Vermont since it was found in mosquitoes from Grand Isle in the middle of June.
West Nile virus was detected for the first time this season in mosquito pools collected in St. Albans two weeks ago.
Both viruses are spread to humans and some animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. No human or animal cases have been reported to date in 2014.
"These detections confirm that both mosquito-borne viruses are circulating in Vermont again this year," said Erica Berl, infectious disease epidemiologist for the Vermont Department of Health. "EEE can be a very serious disease and, although the risk of getting infected is low, it's not zero. No matter where you live – enjoy the outdoors but take precautions to fight the bite."
Take Action to Fight the Bite:
- Limit your time outside from dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most active and biting. When you do go outside take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants outside when mosquitoes are active.
- Use insect repellents that are labeled as being effective against mosquitoes. Effective ingredients are DEET, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus. For more information about choosing a repellent, go to healthvermont.gov and search for 'insect repellent'
- Cover baby carriages or outdoor play spaces with mosquito netting.
- Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out.
- Reduce mosquito breeding habitats by getting rid of standing water and draining areas where water can pool, such as rain gutters, wading pools and old tires.
The Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets recommends that owners of West Nile virus and EEE-susceptible species, including horses, camelids (llamas and alpacas) talk with their veterinarians about vaccinating their animals. West Nile virus and EEE can cause severe neurologic disease (incoordination, seizures and inability to stand) in horses and camelids and can result in high mortality rates in those species. Emus are susceptible to EEE and can be vaccinated with the equine vaccine.

William Shatner has played an attorney, a starship captain, an alien and a Roman tax collector, among many other roles. Over the past half-century, the Canadian actor has performed on television, in commercials, in movies and on Broadway — and penned several novels.
He recently returned to Broadway for the first time in over 40 years with a new solo show, Shatner's World: We Just Live In It. In the 90-minute performance, Shatner talks about his childhood growing up in Montreal and reflects on his many acting roles with an assortment of photos and video clips.
Shatner tells Fresh Air's David Bianculli that when he gets on stage each night, he doesn't think about his performance. Instead, he thinks about the show in the same way one would learn to ride a horse or ski or perform any other difficult skill.
"When you've done the technical part, you're then into the joy, the zen, into being," he says. "Technology no longer exists for you. You're then into the mystery of the thing you're doing."
One of the memorable stories Shatner tells onstage is about his father, who was in the clothing business. As Shatner talks about his father's death, he precisely folds a jacket onstage — just the way his father used to do it.
"It was like [watching] a sculptor putting the last touches on his sculpture, sanding his last moment, getting the last abrasion out of the thing that he had created," he says. "This garment, to my father, was his creation. And I talk about the hands that went to loom and the material that fitted it, and it became — in my mind's eye — a part of my father. So when I told the story of my father's death, it came to me that I would tell it through the act of his jacket."
Midway through the act, Shatner takes his jacket off and lays it to rest in a coffin.
"Then, the most moving moment for me is that I come to the conclusion that life doesn't have to end with death if love is present," he says. "And I put the jacket back on."
A sizable chunk of Shatner's performance, of course, is devoted to his iconic role as Capt. James T. Kirk. He speaks candidly about how Star Trek's popularity made him begin to see his own acting career in a negative way, until he heard Patrick Stewart speak about his own role on the show's sequel series, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
"I have a lot of respect for Patrick Stewart, and [it was seeing] the gravitas that this great Shakespearean actor gave to his role that I suddenly realized that this guy is taking Capt. Picard every bit as seriously as Macbeth," Shatner says. "And I used to. And I stopped. And what the hell's the matter with me? It was a great piece of work. Everybody contributed to it for three years, and it has lasted 50. It's a phenomenon. Why aren't I proud of it? And that's when I had a moment."
After Star Trek, Shatner managed to create another iconic TV character, playing the role of Denny Crane on ABC's The Practice and Boston Legal. He says he envisioned the character as a lizard who sticks his tongue out.
"Why does the lizard stick his tongue out? The lizard sticks its tongue out because that's the way its listening and looking and tasting its environment," he says. "It's its means of appreciating what's in front of it. It sticks its tongue out to be sure that it's not going to be eaten. I thought, 'That's what [Denny Crane's] doing. He used to be a great lawyer. And when he said, 'Denny Crane,' I thought, who's he saying that for? How do you play that? I played it like the lizard saying, 'Denny Crane.' He's trying to say, 'Here I am,' but without being able to say it.'"
Shatner says the scenes that series creator David Kelley imagined for his character were both imaginative — and plausible.
"I remember one moment he was giving himself Botox injections, and something surprised him so he turned around in his chair and had a Botox needle sticking out of his forehead," he says. "In one moment, he's totally lucid, and in the other, he's totally insane. How extraordinary — what a character to play! To have had the privilege to have worked with those actors and directors and writers — I loved every one of them, and it was a sad, sad moment to say goodbye when the show was over."
Interview Highlights
On taking risks
"It's very easy to say no to leaving the house. I'm happy with what I got. No, I'm not going there. No, I don't want a new idea — the old idea is fine. No, I don't want a new thing — whether it's a president, an idea, a concept. No. And you're safe. You're right in your little hole; you haven't moved. And what you're doing before is what you're doing now. And that's safe. That's comforting, and you're going to die that way. 'No,' and you're put in your hole and that's fine and you're dead. 'Yes' requires you to move out of that hole. 'Yes' is like those little animals that pop their heads out and look around. But some of them don't go."
On the popularity of Star Trek
"I spent years doing Star Trek bits and things, and a lot of people loved it, a lot of people mocked it. They did their various comic turns on Star Trek, and I went with the joke because, what, you're not going to joke with the joke? At the time, I applied every talent I had to making it valid and working on story and fighting management and doing the best I could," he says. "There were many, many talents who did that. ... I did the best I could. So when I left Star Trek, I left it with pride and went onto other things. Then Star Trek started to become popular about six years afterward, when it went into syndication, and then people started talking about it."
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross.
William Shatner has played two iconic TV roles decades apart. In the 1960s, he was Captain James T. Kirk in NBC's "Star Trek." More recently, he starred as unpredictable attorney Denny Crane in ABC's "Boston Legal." And at the age of 80, he's still performing. He's recorded and released a two-CD concept album called "Seeking Major Tom," and currently, he's starring in an autobiographical one-man stage show called "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It." The show just concluded a limited Broadway run and begins a nation-wide tour Saturday in Los Angeles.
William Shatner was born in Montreal, studied economics at McGill University, and performed at the Shakespearean Stratford Festival of Canada before embarking on the stage and screen career in the U.S. Before "Star Trek," his other memorable TV roles included playing to a terrified airline passenger in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," a 1963 episode of the "Twilight Zone."
Our TV critic David Bianculli spoke to William Shatner last week when he was in the final days of performing "Shatner's World" on Broadway.
William Shatner, welcome to FRESH AIR.
WILLIAM SHATNER: Thank you. It's a pleasure to be at FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: I've seen one-man Broadway show...
SHATNER: Have you? Yeah.
BIANCULLI: ..."Shatner's World: We Just Live in It."
SHATNER: Yeah.
BIANCULLI: And you're about to go on a nationwide tour.
SHATNER: Right.
BIANCULLI: As a conversational biography, it seems pretty complete. It's got your early acting roles, your love of horses, the days of TV's "Star Trek" and "Boston Legal." But I want to start off by asking, there's an early TV highlight that you don't mention, and I'm really curious about why you didn't. So it's all the way back to 1957. It's a live TV installment of the CBS anthology series "Studio One."
SHATNER: Mm-hmm.
BIANCULLI: So, yes, it's 55 years ago, but I consider it a really important moment in TV history.
SHATNER: Mm-hmm.
BIANCULLI: It's Reginald Rose's "The Defender."
SHATNER: Yes, "The Defenders." I did a lot of those live television - I refer to them, ending up with "Playhouse 90."
BIANCULLI: Yes.
SHATNER: Reggie Rose's "The Defenders" was a huge thing, and - but...
BIANCULLI: And this was the pilot, where - it's father-son lawyers, and in the pilot, Ralph Bellamy was the father and you were the son. And the client that you were defending on a murder charge was, indeed, Steve McQueen.
SHATNER: Right.
BIANCULLI: Well, let's hear a clip from it. This is from "Studio One," "The Defender," 1957.
SHATNER: Wow, you are going back.
BIANCULLI: I am going - well, it's only 55 years. I'm sorry. You've had a very long career.
SHATNER: That's true.
BIANCULLI: So this is you as a young defense attorney, and you're doing a preliminary interview to try to pull more information out of your client, who is played by a very young Steve McQueen.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Now when you brought the delivery up in the elevator, what did you do with it?
STEVE MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I told you. I rang the bell. She opened the back door, and I handed her the package.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Don't you usually ring the bell, leave the delivery leaning against the door and get back into the elevator?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) Yeah, that's what I do.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Why did you wait?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I told you. I thought maybe I could get a tip.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) I see. And then you came back down in the elevator.
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) Yeah.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) But the elevator man says you didn't.
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I don't care what he said. What do you want from me, huh? I came down on the elevator.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Then what did you do?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I got on the subway, and I went home.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Why didn't you call the butcher shop and tell them you were sick?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I was too sick to call.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) What do you take for your headaches, Joe?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I told you: codeine.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Do you have any at home?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) Yeah.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Where do you keep it?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) Next to my bed.
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) Did you take any when you got home?
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) Yeah. How many more times even ask me?
SHATNER: (as Kenneth Preston) I'm asking you because you might have forgotten something, something important.
MCQUEEN: (as Joseph Gordon) I didn't forget nothing.
BIANCULLI: That was Steve McQueen and our guest, William Shatner, as client and defense attorney in the 1957 live TV production of "The Defender."
SHATNER: That sounds good, doesn't it?
BIANCULLI: When is the last time you heard that?
SHATNER: I've never heard it.
BIANCULLI: That was not the answer I expected. So what goes through your mind as you're hearing something from...
SHATNER: Oh, I'm listening to a younger voice. I'm listing to how good Steve McQueen is. I'm listening to the rapidity of the delivery. I'm listening to the spontaneity involved in there, and I'm thinking, hey, that sounds darn good.
BIANCULLI: I thought it was darn good, too. What are the differences in intensity between acting on live TV and on Broadway, and even before an audience on a sitcom, all of which you've done?
SHATNER: Well, I suppose the immediate answer is that there's no difference. You start from a germ of truth, and if it's a comedy, you go to a comedic area that's almost inexplicable. So many people on Broadway wanted to do live television, because it was a way of earning a living that was very similar, but it was also intimidating. You're intimidated by the fact that you had to be perfect. If I had fluttered at all, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'd have been left out to dry. There's no help. Then there's the cameras. The cameras come floating in. They're huge. They're warm, and they're like animals. And then this red light goes on...
SHATNER: ...and it's staring you in the face, and you've got to be truthful. So it's intimidating to a lot of people.
BIANCULLI: You say in your most recent book that by the time you get on stage, you're no longer thinking about the words. Is that still true?
SHATNER: Well, that's the epitome. That's what you want to work for. You want to work to the point where you no longer - I ride horses a lot, and in riding a horse, you need to be in balance. So you're taught to be in balance - head, shoulders, hips, legs all in balance, and there's a whole technical thing that you're taught that sometimes can take years. When you're done, the technical part - I ski.
When you're done, the technical part of skiing and horses, you're then into the joy, into the Zen, you're into the mysteriousness, into the mystery of the thing you're doing - like the mystery of a horse, like communicating with a horse with your hands and your legs and your voice - that is almost imperceptible, both to you and the horse. When you're skiing a hill and you swoop down over a swell and you you use the swell to caress your skis and you're playing the hill like a piece of music, and that's at its epitome. That's what an actor does with the words.
BIANCULLI: The night I saw your play, the most memorable thing to me, the most touching thing wasn't even words, and it wasn't a story that I would consider that you had told many, many times. It was you folding and a jacket, and the way, the preciseness with which you folded it and why. Can you talk about that?
SHATNER: Well, my father was in the clothing business, and he once showed me how to fold a jacket for shipping. The thought was when I was a young man, I was going to go into this small business, and with my youth and vigor and his intelligence, we would make it a bigger business, and the family would have more sustenance. We weren't poor, but, you know, we weren't rich. We were in the lower end of the middle-class and we had enough to get by, but we weren't in luxury, by any means. So the whole idea was I was the only son. I was going to go into the family business.
So my father showed me how to fold a jacket, and I remembered that, because he folded it with such care. It was like a sculptor putting the last touches on his sculpturing, sanding that last moment. And it became, in my mind's eye, for years, a part of my father. So when I thought of telling the story of my father's death, it came to me that I would tell it through the act of his jacket and how - so I take my jacket off, and it becomes part of my father. And then I lay it to rest in a coffin, and then I bury it. And then the most moving moment for me is that I come to the conclusion that life doesn't have to end with death if love is present, and I put the jacket back on.
BIANCULLI: There's no way of getting around an interview with you when we're talking about your whole career without getting to your most iconic role of James T. Kirk in "Star Trek."
SHATNER: That's cool.
BIANCULLI: But I thought that we would start by playing a clip. I found something where you're giving a little speech, so it shows the way you act as James T. Kirk, but it talks about a philosophy that sounds not too far removed from the one that you talk about in you new Broadway show. So here's a scene in which Capt. James T. Kirk is encouraging his team to see that the advantages of a starship trump its risks.
SHATNER: (as Captain James T. Kirk) Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars, and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this, but I'm not, because Dr. McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this, but I also point out that the possibilities, the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great. Risk. Risk is our business. That's what this starship's all about. That's why we're aboard her.
BIANCULLI: That's our guest William Shatner in his iconic role as a starship Captain James T. Kirk in the 1960s TV series "Star Trek."
SHATNER: God, 50 years ago. Unbelievable.
BIANCULLI: Almost. Almost. So, well, you say in your Broadway show that it's easy to say no. It's risky to say yes.
SHATNER: Yeah.
BIANCULLI: Does that speak to you through the world of "Star Trek," that long ago? I mean, are you speaking to you?
SHATNER: You know, I listen to that speech - yes. It's easy to say no, I'm not going to do that. I'm not leaving the house. I don't - I'm happy with what I've got. No, I'm not going there. No, I don't want a new idea. The old idea is fine. No. And you're safe. You're right in your little hole. You haven't moved, and what you did before is what you're doing now, and that's safe. That's comforting. You're going to die that way. Yes requires you to move out of that hole. Yes is like those little animals that pop their head out...
SHATNER: ...you know, that look around, what, what's going on? I'm back in my hole. But some of them don't go. Some of them, what is that wonderful series where these little animals...
BIANCULLI: The meerkats?
SHATNER: Meerkats.
BIANCULLI: "Meerkat Manor."
SHATNER: Yeah. There you go. It's a meerkat. You want to be a meerkat. We can be a meerkat. Taking risk is the way we should leave our lives.
BIANCULLI: We're speaking with William Shatner, who's about to tour the country with his one-man Broadway show "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: My guest is William Shatner, who's about to embark on a national tour of his one-man Broadway show, "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It."
I guess it was 1976 when "Saturday Night Live," in its first season, did a long spoof of "Star Trek." And the audience that night reacted with such love and familiarity to John Belushi as you, that it was clear that something was up. Of all the imitators of Captain Kirk, do you have one that's closest to your heart? Or farthest away?
SHATNER: Well, no, I always thought I did the best imitation, but geez, no.
SHATNER: I'll tell you the iconic moment. We did a - I was on. I was the host of "Saturday Night Live" - they've never asked me back, by the way, in all these years. And it was I, as Shatner, come up in front of all these geeks who are wearing ears. And I called them geeks now then, but I've done a documentary in which I portray them as they really are.
BIANCULLI: Mm-hmm.
SHATNER: They're not geeks. They're people in search of something else. But that's another whole subject. Anyway, a group of these "SNL" people were wearing ears and all that, and I gave the phrase: Get a life. And a lot of the people laughed and some of the people didn't laugh across the country who were aficionados. But it was meant in fun, and I've ultimately wrote a book called "Get a Life," which examine why the people are going to conventions and their reason(ph) .
BIANCULLI: Well, I consider it one of the - I don't mean to stop you. I just consider it one of the best...
SHATNER: Stop me.
BIANCULLI: ...moments ever on "Saturday Night Live." And I want to ask you a couple of questions about it. But first...
SHATNER: Please do.
BIANCULLI: Let's play it.
SHATNER: Yeah.
SHATNER: You know, before I answer any more questions, there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled, you know, hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say: Get a life, will you people?
SHATNER: I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show. I mean, look at you. Look at the way you're dressed. You've turned an enjoyable little job that I did as a lark for a few years into a colossal waste of time.
SHATNER: I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves? You, you must be almost 30. Have you ever kissed a girl?
SHATNER: I didn't think so. There's a whole world out there. When I was your age, I didn't watch television. I lived. So move out of your parents' basements and get your own apartments and grow the hell up. It's just a TV show, damn it. It's just a TV show.
BIANCULLI: That's William Shatner in a sketch from a 1986 edition of "Saturday Night Live."
In your one-man show, you show a clip from one of your documentaries in which you're talking to Patrick Stewart, who played...
SHATNER: Right.
BIANCULLI: ...Jean-Luc Picard from "Star Trek: The Next Generation." And he talks about realizing that his obituary will lead with "Star Trek." And he says he's fine with that. And then you say, at that moment, that you had an epiphany.
SHATNER: That's correct.
BIANCULLI: Will you say that to us now?
SHATNER: I had an epiphany.
BIANCULLI: Now, would you explain the epiphany?
SHATNER: Oh, you want an explanation.
BIANCULLI: I know. I know. Oh, man.
SHATNER: You didn't...
BIANCULLI: It's OK. It's OK.
SHATNER: All right. So you're...
BIANCULLI: Once you're on a sitcom, there's no holding you back. Go ahead.
SHATNER: No, no. I had spent years doing "Star Trek" bits and things, and a lot of people loved it. A lot of people mocked it. A lot of people, you know, they did their various comic turns on "Star Trek." And I went with the joke, because - what? You're not going to go with the joke? At the time, the three years I spent, I applied every talent I had to making it valid and working on story and fighting management and doing the best I could. There were many, many talents who did that. I don't mean to take that away. All I'm saying is I did the best I could.
So when I left "Star Trek," I left it with pride and went on to other things. And then "Star Trek" started to become popular about six years afterwards, as it went into syndication. And then people started talking about, hey, there's - beam me up, Scotty. And there's Captain Kirk. And, you know, and then somebody would say: Do you really go where no man has gone before - in that sort of semi-mocking tone that I thought, well, all right. Maybe it wasn't as good as I thought it was. And maybe I wasn't as good as I thought I was. And I held myself up defensively.
It was only watching Patrick Stewart - and I have great respect for Patrick, both as an actor and as man. I love him. And the gravitas that this great Shakespearean actor gave to his role, that I suddenly realized that this guy is taking Captain Picard every bit as seriously as Macbeth. And I used to. And I stopped. And what the hell's the matter with me? It was a great piece of work. Everybody contributed to three years that has lasted 50. It's a phenomenon. Why aren't I proud of it? And that's when I had that moment.
BIANCULLI: We're speaking with William Shatner, who's about to tour the country with his one-man Broadway show "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It." More after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
BIANCULLI: My guest is William Shatner, who's about to embark on a national tour of his one-man Broadway show, "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It."
You did manage to create a second major TV character, which a lot of iconic actors do not, on television. But Denny Crane on ABC's "The Practice" and "Boston Legal" is just about every bit as big, and on the night that I saw your Broadway show, got as much applause for the first mention of Denny Crane as for the first mention of James T. Kirk. Now, I have such respect for David E. Kelley as a TV writer-producer, and...
SHATNER: He's a genius.
BIANCULLI: It's just such a funny character. And I'm wondering: How quickly did you and Kelley find each other's wavelengths? I mean, because I think producers, once they see what an actor can do, start writing more for that.
SHATNER: Well, you see, that's very astute of you. That's exactly what happened. He had me saying Denny Crane. And I thought: Well, why is this guy saying Denny Crane all the time? I mean, it was a good comic device. I don't know what David had in mind. But every so often, he would say, Denny Crane. And I thought: Why is this character saying Denny Crane? And in my mind, what I saw was a lizard who sticks his tongue out.
SHATNER: OK. It's funny on the surface, right? Denny Crane. But wait a minute? Why does the lizard stick his tongue out? Do you know why? Because that's the way it's listening and looking and tasting its environment. Its tongue is its - I don't know about eyes, but it's his whiskers. It's its means of appreciating what's in front of it. It sticks its tongue out to be sure that it's not going to be eaten. It's identifying itself by sticking its tongue out. And so I thought, that's what he's doing. He's saying Denny Crane to see what the - I mean, he used to be a great lawyer. So when he says Denny Crane, who's appreciating that? I began to think of Denny Crane, and he sticks his tongue out.
So he had me in one scene, David Kelley wrote Denny Crane, seven over - eight times. How do you play that? I played it like the lizard saying Denny Crane - OK, what was the reaction on that? Well, Denny Crane. Denny Crane. He tries a different series of ways of sticking his tongue out by saying Denny Crane to see who's there to - and nobody pays any attention to him. He's trying to say here I am, but without being able to say it. And that was the image I had.
BIANCULLI: I'd like to play a scene from "Boston Legal." This is from 2006, with you in the courtroom as Denny Crane. And it shows your outrageousness and your - it shows a lot about your character in a very brief scene. It's a case in which an attractive young woman is seeking emancipation from her parents and trying to make it as a young model, and your cross-examination hones in immediately on her daily diet.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) What did you have for breakfast this morning?
JESSY SCHRAM: (as Claire Wilson) I had a diet soda and a cracker with some butter spray on it.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) And lunch?
SCHRAM: (as Claire Wilson) I didn't eat lunch. I can't eat when I'm stressed out.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) So how many calories have you had today?
SCHRAM: (as Claire Wilson) Sixteen.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) Are you aware that the daily required number of calories for someone your age and height is somewhere between 18 and 2,400?
SCHRAM: (as Claire Wilson) And are you aware that two out of three Americans are overweight? No one's calling them sick. I'm healthy. I watch what I eat, and I exercise. You can ask any fat girl at my school if she'd want to trade places with me.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) Now, don't go knocking fat girls. I love chubby sex. I'm sure your honor does.
MARY BOUCHER: (as Judge Rose Olsheim) Mr. Crane.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) Ms. Wilson, are you aware the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" defines anorexia nervosa as a mental illness?
SCHRAM: (as Claire Wilson) Thirty years ago, they said the same thing about homosexuality.
SHATNER: (as Denny Crane) Exactly. No further questions.
SHATNER: That's great. It's great writing. It's great writing.
BIANCULLI: That's our guest William Shatner as attorney Denny Crane in the David E. Kelley series "Boston Legal." My further question is: How much fun was this guy to play?
SHATNER: Oh, my Lord. I could do anything. I remember one moment, he was giving himself Botox injections, himself. And something surprised him, so he sprang out of his chair, and he had a Botox needle sticking out of his forehead. I mean, he takes a gun into the office and he shoots somebody because - I mean, the things that Kelley imagined were so outrageous and so plausible in an outrageous character, because in one moment, he's totally lucid. And the other, he's totally insane. How extraordinary. What a character to play.
You know, to have had the privilege to have worked with those great actors James Spader and Candice Bergen and John Larroquette and David Kelley and all the - Bill D'Elia and all those wonderful directors and writers, and I just - I loved every one of them, and it was a sad, sad moment to say goodbye when the show was over.
BIANCULLI: Your one-man show tour for "Shatner's World: We Just Live in It," I'm looking at the schedule. It's March 10th, L.A., March 11th, San Francisco, March 13th, Philadelphia, March 15th Minneapolis. I mean, that's a grueling, young rock star schedule. How and why are you doing it that way?
SHATNER: How am I going to do it? How am I going to do it? I'm going to do it - I once did, as a much younger man, 43 cities in 44 days. How did I do it? I don't know. I came back to Los Angeles, and as I came down the escalator to get the baggage, my hand was trembling from fatigue and nerves. And I thought, wow, that was challenging, physically. I can do this. My wife's going to be with me. I'll make it by resting as much as possible.
And if nothing else in my life, I point to my endurance. I used to run track, and I was an endurance runner. And I'm doing everything I can to make this work because, at the end of which, like I did on opening night, I became exultant. I did it. I - this rage inside me which says I've got to do this, I've got to please the people, has not been banked. It's still there. And I will be there at your city, and I will make it a great show. And fear not.
BIANCULLI: I noticed that you'll be - you're scheduled to perform in Dallas, Texas on March 22nd.
SHATNER: Yes.
BIANCULLI: That's the day you turn 81 years old. Any special plans?
SHATNER: I am. Plans? To stagger on stage and give the best performance of my life.
BIANCULLI: Well, congratulations on the show, the tour, the longevity, the career, and thank you for being FRESH AIR. I've really enjoyed this conversation.
SHATNER: Thank you. So have I, and I fully expected to, and it's met my expectations.
GROSS: William Shatner spoke with our TV critic David Bianculli. Shatner is about to embark on a national tour with his one-man, autobiographical show "Shatner's World." The first stop is Los Angeles, Saturday.

Revision as of 04:29, 10 June 2014
Proposed Canon
A non-humanoid unit that can be ridden by a non-Heavy humanoid unit for increased mobility and apparently combat bonus or protection. While mounted, a unit expends its mount's move rather than its own while crossing hexes. Many mounts are also able combatants in their own right and some are flying units.
The unit and their mount still count as separate units for damage purposes. A unit can be knocked off their mount by a strong (or lucky) enough attack, or have it destroyed from under them.
Most mounts cannot speak, but understand basic commands. They can be named by their Ruler or Barbarian Warlord or Chief, and possibly by any unit assigned to them, and they will respond to that name.
Mount Relay
As a mounted unit does not use its own move to cross hexes, it is possible to create a relay of mounts that allows a unit to travel great distances in a single turn. The unit would mount up, ride to the next mount in the relay, then mount that unit and ride on.

No changes right now for Manchester school districtsBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 28. 2013 11:48PM
MANCHESTER - School Superintendent Thomas Brennan has presented a redistricting report that draws much the same conclusion as past attempts at redrawing school attendance zones: the task is too complicated to be completed in a short time frame.
In his report, presented to the Board of School Committee on Monday, Brennan recommended "retaining the current configuration of our current elementary and middle schools" for the next school year, as well as for the high schools.
Brennan's report also made no proposal for the establishment of a central preschool, which was seen as a way of freeing up space at the district's elementary schools.
He did note, however, that there was enough capacity at Manchester High Schools Central and Memorial to eliminate West High. Any plans for a "new educational model" for West, Brennan stressed, should not be implemented until the 2014 school year and would require "a comprehensive plan and the appropriate vetting of the concept."
In the fall the school board, at the urging of Mayor Ted Gatsas, directed Brennan to press forward with a suite of reforms, following the uproar over crowded classes.
Progress has been made on several of those initiatives, including virtual learning and partnerships with local universities, but the redistricting component has proven far more challenging, Brennan told the school board.
"It's like squeezing the balloon - every time you put pressure one place, it pops up somewhere else," he said. "Whatever I came up with was not workable in many people's minds. We've spent a lot of time on this, and this is the best assessment based on what I have at this time."
Gatsas has pushed for redistricting since he was elected, as a way to make better use of school facilities. Some elementary and middle schools, such as McLaughlin, have considerable excess capacity, while others are overcrowded, such as Beech Street Elementary.
"We're trusting him with doing the redistricting," Gatsas said in September when the decision was made to give Brennan unprecedented authority over redistricting. "It is not an easy decision, but it must be done."
Several proposals for redistricting have come and gone in the face of parental resistance and high cost estimates.
The centralized preschool proposal was seen as a more workable alternative, with the more than 300 preschool students possibly sent to McLaughlin.
Brennan in his report said this option was not "educationally sound" and could have a fiscal impact of around $2 million.
Gatsas did not offer any comments in response to Brennan's report on Monday.
Brennan said there was no easy fix to the district's imbalanced school attendance patterns.
"You're either going to have to add a (elementary) school or expand a facility. It's unfortunate, but there wasn't a lot of long-range planning in terms of where schools were built," he said.
Brennan noted that there has been significant population growth on the northern outskirts of the city, while many school facilities are located on the West side, where the number of families has declined.
Board member Sarah Ambrogi said it may be time to consider a school assignment plan that bridges the two halves of the city.
"I think we may have to ignore the fact that there's a river in the city and look at moving children across that river," she said. "We have the buildings, but don't always have the families there."

Violence spurred housing crackdown
Safety and security were discussed extensively at a Wilmington Housing Authority meeting held Monday at Creekwood South, a public housing complex that has been plagued by violence recently.
The board that oversees the authority approved new security policies, the first wave of a formal effort to crack down on criminals, many of whom do not live in public housing, officials have said.
At times, tensions ran high at the meeting, which drew residents and representatives from the Wilmington Police Department. Multiple Creekwood residents spoke about safety concerns before the authority's board of commissioners.
"I'm to the point now where I want to leave Creekwood because I feel like my kids are not safe," said Allameshia Tiesmon.
Sonya Muldrow said break-ins prompted her to stay in a relative's home. "I really, really want to move," she said. "You should have a peace of mind where you live at."
Glendora Mullins, the president of Creekwood's resident organization, said she, too, had concerns about crime in the community.
During the meeting, board member Arcelia Wicker said the housing authority has new initiatives designed to address escalating crime. "What I ask of you is to be a little patient," Wicker said.
Top brass from the Wilmington Police Department spoke at the meeting to overview how law enforcement is responding to rising violence. The New Hanover County Sheriff's Office has committed to add seven deputies to the WPD's seven-officer unit that patrols public housing complexes.
"We'll be out here more and in all housing areas more," said Deputy Chief Marshall Williamson, who added that ramped-up presence will be mobilized next week. "I want to assure you that the men and women of this police department want to make every resident in every area of this city as safe and secure as possible," Williamson said. A new WPD gang unit is also in the works to address violence Creekwood residents have experienced, said Deputy Chief Mitch Cunningham.
On Oct. 10, a county sheriff's detective was shot in Creekwood. The alleged shooter was later killed by law enforcement officials. The shooting of the detective in Creekwood followed a rash of other shootings in the community.
On Monday, the authority board discussed the WPD's ShotSpotter techonology, which uses a series of acoustic sensors to triangulate the location of gunfire with near-pinpoint accuracy. The board voted unanimously to pursue funding the expansion of ShotSpotter technology to cover all its housing sites.
Vernice Hamilton, the authority's interim CEO, said she thinks the authority has identified funding for the first year.
Hamilton also revealed the authority is working with the city to study altering the traffic patterns in Creekwood, which is between Market Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Officials are exploring closing some streets so there are fewer ways in and out of Creekwood.
Hurst Street, for example, could be closed, Hamilton said. Hurst connects Creekwood with Maides Avenue, another residential area.
Board member Deb Hays said there has been discussion of installing barricades or gate arms that were shut at certain hours, a notion board member Alfredia McDonald compared to "caging everybody in."
"No," shot back Jeff Hovis, the board chairman. "No, I'm not going to go your negative way. That is totally an inappropriate way of talking."
Raising her voice, McDonald said it was not inappropriate or negative, and questioned why only Hovis and Hays seemed to be aware of the proposal.
WPD Sgt. M. Ingram said the proposal to gate streets is designed to make it uncomfortable for criminals.
"When we come in here, there's lots of ways for criminals to go," he said. "It's not to box you in."
Also Monday, the authority voted unanimously to approve several new rules for residents, some of them aimed at increasing safety.
Under the new rules: Residents are not allowed to have more than eight visitors at their homes at a time unless they have a special event permit. The permit application must include the purpose of the visit and the number of visitors, as well as their names, addresses and phone numbers.
Residents must have a parking sticker on their vehicles to park on housing authority property. Guests can apply for a guest pass for overnight visits or to park for multiple days. Vehicles without stickers could be towed at the owner's expense.
Residents under the age of 18 must abide a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The curfew means children and teens must be in their homes during those hours, as the curfew also applies to common areas such as playgrounds and parking lots. The curfew has exceptions. Children and teens would not be found in violation of the curfew if they were with a parent/guardian or if they were returning from home, school, church or work.
Smoking is banned in housing authority units, although it will be permitted outside of the buildings. To enforce the ban, authority staff members will regularly inspect the units. If smoke odors or signs of smoking are discovered, the area will be professionally cleaned and the resident will be billed the cost.

If Joan of Arc had knit herself a gray cashmere hood rather than a chain-link one, stolen the paws off bears to be worn as gloves, and then found suiting pieces to make her badass entrance in, she would have felt right at home at Alexander Wang's fall '13 show. Yes, in his latest offering Wang took a slight turn from his body-con smoke-and-mirror days of yore (don't worry, it's still somehow just what you wanted), pumping up the fabric and letting out the hemlines.
Think: Oversized coats you already want to live in, turtlenecks that don't necessarily end at the chin, boxy blue-and-black jackets that could go over everything, and yes, bear-paw gloves. There was a particularly strong destroyed-jacquard set, some angora and mohair pieces that looked so luxe they could have been fur (or were they?), and metallic low-back sweaters perfect for that chilly night dinner party.
As for the accessories, well, they sure didn't disappoint either. Well-sculpted heels cut diagonally up models' feet and mules disguised themselves in wrapped gray wool. And then there were the bags: one-handle, two-basket, pony-hair dreams that, despite their sleek design, can still be aptly considered carryalls. Given all of this, it's no surprise the show opened with a resounding "Eye Of The Tiger," and, as Wang made his signature victory lap around the intricate Cunard building stage, ended with resounding applause.

If you believe the advertisements, men who experience problems in the bedroom can pop a pill once a day and instantly enjoy more passionate, longer-lasting, satisfying sexual experiences that leave them feeling confident about their manliness.
Naturally, men of all ages are lining up to try the latest miracle drug.
But health care professionals caution men to think about what marketers fail to tell you. These "miracle" enhancement drugs can lead to physically and emotionally painful side effects, including erectile dysfunction (ED).
We've entered an era where talking about sex isn't taboo. People aren't afraid to discuss ways to improve their sexual function, and companies are flooding the market with over-the-counter drugs they claim will solve a couple's problems in the bedroom and make men the tigers their wives supposedly want them to be.
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a condition in which a man is consistently unable to get or maintain an erection sufficient enough to have sexual intercourse. The condition is more common in older men, and certain medical conditions, like high blood pressure or diabetes, can increase a man's risk.
There are several things every man should understand about male enhancement drugs before popping a pill in the hopes of revving up his sex life:
Naturally, these issues can lead to sexual misunderstandings and stress between couples, but you have to identify the problem before you can fix it, and pills will not solve this problem. Understanding how your sexual brain works usually will.
In most cases, the problem is the man's lack of understanding about overall sexuality and how to interpret his partner's body signals.
Most people choose to address the problem with a quick fix, like an over-the-counter drug, because talking to a doctor or their partner about it is too embarrassing.
To prove a drug works, the bias has to be removed by means of a double-blind study that tests for safety, effectiveness and potential drug interactions. As far as our experts know, none of the over-the-counter male enhancement drugs have gone through any such scrutiny.
For example, some supplements contain yohimbine, an alkaloid obtained from the bark of a West African tree, which increases blood flow. The effect, however, is not isolated to the genitals. It happens throughout the entire body, which can cause serious stress to the heart in men with heart or vascular conditions.
Other supplements contain hormones like testosterone that can contribute to other health complications, such as enlargement of the prostate gland or an increased incidence of prostate cancer.
Erectile dysfunction can be treated when the underlying cause for the problem is diagnosed by your urologist, and almost everyone will have some form of sexual dysfunction as they age, whether it manifests as a decrease in arousal, ability to maintain an erection or ejaculation timing. But problems with sexual function don't necessarily mean disease.
Misuse or abuse of male enhancement drugs that contain herbal substances can cause serious side effects. The most serious side effect is priapism, a persistent, painful erection that lasts for hours. Priapism, which can occur without sexual stimulation, requires surgical intervention and can eventually lead to erectile dysfunction.
Prescription drugs like Viagra, which are carefully regulated by the FDA, can be effective for men with diagnosed erectile dysfunction, but they should only be used under the advice and supervision of a physician.

Whelpton World wide
Hello everyone
Since embarking on this wild ride called family history
I have become fascinated with my husbands maternal
ancestors. The name is Whelpton and they owned property
in Victoria and Queensland. Our Edward Whelpton appears
to have been a mariner. I can find no records of how he
came to Australia but believe he may have come via the
USA or Canada, as he is supposed to have brought a type
of Pre fabricated house with him on a ship??? I have seen
this house which sadly was burnt in this years fires in
Victoria and
I assume with the photos etc that were left there.
I am trying to contact the owner to see if anything was
I am now attempting a name study to see where they all
link in. If anyone has any information on any Whelpton,
any where I am willing to compile this and share. Maybe
we could have a descendants of Whelpton reunion.
Looking for William Bell in Australia
I am looking for William {Bill}Bell who was a hairdresser in Port Melbourne Victoria Australia between at least 1949 and 1954.
I believe he was married to a Jessie Margaret Sherwood and very well may have lived in Horsham Victoria at some stage.
He also may have been an amatuer boxer when young.
Hope someone can help.

I think the Superbowl will be Green Bay and Baltimore. The Saints have to go on the road for all their games and should be a little worn out when they reach frosty Lambeau.
True. I am hoping for colder weather by the time they play. Hopefully some combination of that, playing on the road, and the Wisconsin crowd can keep them off balance. The Saints have looked pretty unstoppable the past few weeks and it's not like the Packers are going to suddenly improve their defense. Best case scenario is the 49ers take care of them.
I'm not a big Packers fan, but what a bummer of a way to kick off the week for the coaching staff. Hate to see them heading into their first playoff game with something like that hanging over their heads.
...and some of the worst officiating I've seen in an NFL game!

Most wounds will gradually repair themselves over the course of the body's natural healing process. There are instances, however, when a wound resists healing. These "non-healing wounds" can reflect medical problems that require ongoing, specialized treatment and care.
Holistic & Comprehensive Approach
Henry Ford Allegiance Health creates a treatment plan to address your needs as an individual. Our team works closely with your personal physician and others involved in your care to ensure that we are not only addressing your immediate needs, but considering your overall condition.
Staff Trained in the Latest Techniques
Our staff includes advanced practice nurses with additional certification in wound, ostomy and continence nursing through the Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Credentialing Board and the American Burn Association. We offer effective treatment and therapies designed to help promote the healing process.
Education & Support
Caring for your wound at home between visits is important for proper healing. Our team will educate you and your caregivers and suggest lifestyle changes that may aid the healing process. If a chronic disease is involved, we will help you understand how the disease impacts your body's ability to heal.
