CL&P estimates power restoration will take 24 hours or more
8:01 p.m. update
East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said town crews have been out working since 7 a.m. Friday, and snow-plow crews have passed over all town roads at least once. On Sunday, crews will continue to work on snow removal to plow roads more than once. He also called the state Department of Transportation regarding help with plowing Route 161.
To help restore power, a CL&P line crew worked with town personnel Saturday. The Flanders power substation also was repaired Saturday, he said.
7:28 p.m. update
East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said Saturday evening that about 87 people were at the regional shelter at the East Lyme Middle School for East Lyme, Old Lyme, Montville, Waterford and New London.
He advised residents to bring essentials such as medications, blankets and pillows with them to the shelter. He said caged or leashed animals are permitted there.
The National Guard was in the process of picking up and driving residents to the shelter Saturday. In East Lyme, six Humvees were making the rounds Saturday evening, said Fire Marshal Dick Morris.
7:25 p.m. update
Connecticut Light & Power said Saturday night that 35,000 customers remained without power following the record-breaking snowfall and high winds that hit the state.
"Road conditions are hazardous and have made travel difficult for our line workers and tree workers," said Bill Quinlan, CL&P senior vice president of Emergency Preparedness. "We will continue working around the clock and expect to make strong progress in the harder hit southeastern part of the state; however, some customers may be without power for a day or more."
Estimated restoration times for specific areas will be updated under the "My Outage Status" link at www.cl-p.com and at (800) 286-2000, Quinlan said.
When specific restoration estimates become available, CL&P will also make periodic calls to update customers.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Nursick said that all highways in the state are considered passable, but many are functioning with reduced lanes.
"There's so much snow," Nursick said, "so much snow that we're having great difficulty getting highways open to their full width."
Nursick estimates that about 50 percent of the highway ramps across the state are not functional, because of the snow.
The department has been clearing the roads with 632 state plow trucks and 200 contractor trucks.
"I think this recovery is going to take days in terms of the transportation infrastructure," he said, but added that each day drivers will see an improvement.
He urged people to refrain from driving if possible. He said most people heeded the department's warning and stayed off the roads, but some drivers had to abandon their vehicles because they ran into trouble on the snowy roads.
6:20 p.m. update
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has announced that he has submitted a request for a presidential emergency declaration.
"As we continue with the recovery from this historic winter storm, I am asking the federal government to provide us assistance with this process," he said. "If granted, this declaration would provide much needed help to our state."
6:15 p.m. update
New London - Mayor Daryl Finizio said all of the city's public works personnel have been called in and are "working around the clock" to clear snow from streets. The city has also hired two contracting firms to assist in removing snow.
"We have as many plows on the street as we can," he said.
But full snow removal on roads could take days because of the sheer volume and weight of the snow, said Finizio, and there is no definite estimate of when all roads will be clear. He is asking residents to remain patient as crews work on clearing roads and urges them to continue to report power outages to CL&P.
Finizio said all roads are still considered closed, and it is imperative that residents remain off them for safety reasons. City personnel will be blocking off State and Bank streets later this evening until about midnight to allow crews to remove snow, but he added that the times are approximate because of the weather conditions.
Keeping lanes open for access to the hospital remains a priority, he said.
5:47 p.m. update
In Stonington borough, Warden Paul Burgess said late this afternoon that all roads are passable with the exception of several areas where there are downed wires. These are Diving Street at Hancox Street, Elm Street at High Street, Broad Street and Bayview Avenue, where a utility pole snapped in front of the American Velvet Mill.
Almost all of the borough has power except for a small section of homes on the east side of the footbridge.
Burgess said the borough's two-person highway crew worked 36 hours straight before going home around mid-day. He said they will be back removing snow on Sunday with the help of several contractors. A few borough restaurants are open this evening.
5:30 p.m. update
Mitch Gross, media spokesman for Connecticut Light & Power, said the company is assessing the damage from the storm, which includes heavy snowfall and downed wires.
Restoration efforts will begin once CL&P assesses the damage.
"Some customers in the southeastern part of the state may be without power for 24 hours," he said at about 5 p.m.
He said the company has hundreds of line workers and tree workers in the region and is setting up staging areas in Madison and at the Waterford Speedbowl.
"There was a great deal to assess and repair," he said. "We will do everything we can to move as quickly and as safely as we can."
The company is working with towns to coordinate efforts, and the region remains among the hardest-hit in the state, he said.
"What took place along the coast mirrors the path of the blizzard," he said.
3:18 p.m. update
The travel ban on all roads, including major highways, will be lifted at 4 p.m., according to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
"While we are lifting the ban on travel this afternoon at 4PM, I still want to urge residents to stay off the roads if at all possible," Malloy said in a press release. "Crews are out clearing roadways as we speak, but the fact is we are going to feel the impact of this storm for some time. The longer we can keep traffic out of town centers and off of our highways, the more effective our recovery effort will be."
3:16 p.m. update
About 770 Connecticut National Guard troops are active this weekend, and some already are assisting state and local officials responding to the blizzard and the cleanup, Lt. Col. John Whitford said today.
National Guardsmen are assisting today in East Lyme to transport about 40 senior citizens who lost power to a regional shelter set up in the town, Whitford said. A similar assignment could come in Old Lyme today as well, he said.
Even before the storm, this weekend was a scheduled training weekend for 500 National Guard troops throughout the state. Another 270 troops were placed on active duty Friday night when the storm intensified.
Whitford said since 11 p.m. Friday, National Guard troops have been assisting stranded motorists on the state's highways, responding to 67 calls, including two medical emergencies in which people were taken to local hospitals. He said most of the calls were in central Connecticut.
National Guard crews also are available to help municipalities clean up from the storm. While they would not do traditional road plowing, the Guard does have heavy equipment to help with snow removal, Whitford said.
3 p.m. update
Gov. Dannel Malloy visited the East Lyme regional shelter this afternoon, sitting with residents who lost power in the cafeteria of the East Lyme Middle School.
"They're moving in everything you need - food and carts. We're trying," said Malloy to a group of residents that included Jacquelyn Goodwin, of Niantic, who came to the shelter this morning. Goodwin lost power Friday evening; she loses power during every storm, she said.
A table at the shelter contained coffee and snacks, and a station was set up for sandwiches.
About seven residents were taking advantage of the shelter as of 2 p.m.
State Rep. Ed Jutila, D-East Lyme, First Selectman Paul Formica and Waterford First Selectman Dan Steward helped bring boxes and cots with Red Cross personnel into the shelter.
"This part of the state was badly hit," Malloy said about his reasons for visiting the region. He said the region's proximity to the water and high winds made it vulnerable to power outages.
The National Guard, out helping elderly residents leave their homes, is expected to arrive at the shelter shortly with residents.
Ronald Luich, the Red Cross shelter manager, said the first guest came at about 8 a.m. He is expecting a larger crowd later today.
"We're estimating 60 or 70 this evening," he said.
2:53 p.m. update
Waterford – Snow plows will continue to focus on the main drags as crews begin digging the roads out of about 2 feet of snow.
Waterford Police Chief Murray J. Pendleton said plows had to abandon the roads Friday night as the blizzard intensified. Road crews returned to work around 8 a.m. today.
"The actual plowing of the roads did not take place until the majority of the storm subsided," he said.
Main thoroughfares like Boston Post Road, Clark Lane, Route 32 and Rope Ferry Road are "passable," he said, but "not the roads that we're accustomed to driving on."
"They're bumpy, they're ruddy, they're snow-covered," he said.
Pendleton said plows will focus first on clearing these streets and work their way into connector roadways and finally into residential neighborhoods later today.
"It's a work in progress as we speak," he said.
Waterford residents can seek shelter at the Community Center, at 24 Rope Ferry Road, Waterford police said on its Facebook page. The center has power and heat and is offering cots and food.
Elderly residents who need help getting out of their homes should call Waterford police at (860) 442-9451 for a ride to the shelter.
2:12 p.m. update
All 632 of the state Department of Transportation's trucks were still out there as of 12:30 p.m., plus more than 200 private contractor trucks that the DOT hired, said Judd Everhart, DOT spokesman.
"Our drivers go for 17 hours straight and then get a 3 hour break, then get back on the road. But this is what we do and we are very much back in control now that the snow has stopped," Everhart said in an email.
"There are still many stranded cars out there, especially on local roads. The Governor's travel ban has been extremely helpful in limiting the number of cars that our guys have to plow around," he said.
1:47 p.m. update
Meteorologist Gary Lessor has just one adjective for the storm that just walloped New England: "Phenomenal."
"No other words to describe it," he said.
Lessor, of the Weather Center at Western Connecticut State University, said this blizzard could end up knocking the other whopper of recent memory out of its second-place spot in New England history – the blizzard of '78, which rolled in 35 years ago Thursday.
In terms of intensity, he said – the snowfall and powerful winds – this storm has its '78 predecessor beat. The highest snow accumulation in the state clocked in at 38 inches in Milford, and the highest wind gust blew through Westport at 82 mph.
Lessor said in some places, 4 to 5 inches of snow fell per hour, coupled with 40- to 50-mph winds, creating whiteout conditions with close to zero visibility for hours at a time.
The wide swaths of power outages throughout southeastern Connecticut had powerful winds to thank. As of 4:45 p.m., CL&P reported 36,957 customers without power.
An average of 25 inches of snow buried New London County, with 30 inches reported in Old Saybrook.
Inch counts throughout the region included:
Putnam: 26
Norwich: 25.5
Colchester: 25
Gales Ferry: 24
Lisbon: 23
Ledyard: 22
Mystic: 21
Stonington: 21
The Weather Center does not yet have an inch count for snow accumulation in Groton.
As experts weigh this blizzard's severity in the coming days, one factor may bounce this storm back to third place: The blizzard of '78 hit during the week. Storm rankings depend not only on the storm stats themselves, Lessor said, but on their practical effects.
"The only thing that his storm does not have going for it is that it's happening Friday night into the weekend," he said, "so the impact isn't the same as having it on a Monday morning."
Still, Lessor said, he believes the blizzard of 2013 will win out in the end.
"I think this is going to end up being the second-most intense blizzard in New England history… when everything is said and done," he said.
The storm worked its way northward into Connecticut early Friday morning, with snowfall starting in the area around 7:30 a.m. As of noon Saturday, Lessor said, there was still some light snow being reported in Groton.
The worst blizzard in the region's history remains the blizzard of 1888. That storm buried Middletown in 50 inches of snow – the only officially recorded accumulation in the state, Lessor said.
"That basically just paralyzed everybody," he said. "Throughout the state it was just absolute gridlock for days on end because obviously they didn't have the tools to get rid of it."
Though the region is in the clear for now, Lessor said meteorologists will be keeping an eye on rain Monday night into Tuesday, and possibly some snow Wednesday night into Thursday.
12:26 p.m. update
The Old Lyme Emergency Operations Center is open and residents with special needs or facing power outages are advised to call the center (860) 598-0120, according to a town press release.
A shelter at the East Lyme Middle School on 31 Society Road in East Lyme is open. Officials are advising residents to bring medications, toiletries, blankets and pillows. Pets are allowed, as long as they have a leash, food, food bowls, rabies tags or proof of vaccination.
Later today, a respite center will open at the Lymes Senior Center at 26 Town Woods Road, where meals will be provided and Wi-Fi access and restrooms will be available, the release stated.
Town officials are continuing to clear roads and advised residents to avoid driving and steer clear of downed wires.
"This storm has presented challenges that we have not seen in years, with the need to bring in heavier equipment to move the snow and keep the plows working," the release stated. "Road conditions are poor, so it is important to stay off the roads and allow the crews to get their work done. Numerous roads and streets have trees and power lines obstructing travel lanes."
12:02 p.m.
Stonington - With 60 percent of homes and businesses here without power as of noon and temperatures expected to dip into the single digits tonight, the town expects to open the emergency shelter at the high school early this afternoon.
Officials at the emergency operations center said this morning that before they can open the center, they have to clear snow from the high school parking lot and then transport Red Cross volunteers to the high school.
With roads still closed, residents who need shelter will be able to call the center at 860- 599-7583 or 599-7584 and police officers in SUVs will bring them to the shelter.
Because of this, First Selectman Ed Haberek encouraged residents without power to first seek out friends and relatives with power before calling for a ride to the shelter.
Numerous downed trees and wires have made roads across town impassable including major thoroughfares such as North Main and North Water streets south of Route 1, Jerry Browne Road at Mistuxet Avenue and River Road at Rivercrest Drive.
In all there are 110 reports of downed trees and wires and 25 blown transformers.
Police captain Jerry Desmond said that during the night calls reporting power outages and downed trees and wires flooded the police department communications center.
"Our dispatchers did a great job handling them," he said.
Haberek said a large number of CL & P crews are currently working to repair a major substation and power line that feeds the town.
In addition, he said wires are down and covered by snow, some in wooded areas. In those areas he said it may be days before customers in those areas have power restored. He said CL & P should have restoration estimate available later today.
"This is like Hurricane Sandy with a super snowstorm," he said.
After the October hurricane 95 percent of the town was without power and it took almost a week to restore the entire town.
Police Chief J. Darren Stewart said residents need to be aware of the fact that where they are shoveling of children playing there could be downed power lines covered in snow.
"The best thing people can do is to hunker down for a few days and enjoy your company," he said.
While the roads here are technically closed, a large number of plowing contractors were out this morning clearing driveways and parking lots. Route 1 was passable this morning with four-wheel drive.
During the night, Stewart said police cruisers were unable to get through the heavy snow so police had to make use of three sport utility vehicles and the animal control truck to respond to calls. On medical calls, high department plows cleared the way for ambulances and police.
Stewart said a Pawcatuck woman who twisted her knee, fell in the snow and could not get up was then struck by a falling tree limb. She escaped serious injury.
Emergency Preparedness Director George Brennan cautioned people with direct vent furnaces to make sure they clear snow from the vents.
11:30 a.m. update
In Preston, one snow plow is stuck in a ditch on Lewis Road, and several roads are blocked by trees and tangled wires down, First Selectman Robert Congdon said.
CL&P is reporting 232 Preston customers without power as of 11:30 a.m.
Roads blocked by trees and lines include Prodell, Brickyard and Mathewson Mill roads.
Congdon is "cautiously optimistic" that schools can reopen Monday but that would depend on how well the roads have been cleared.
"We're going to get the roads opened up the best they can and then we'll let them get some sleep and go back tomorrow," Congdon said of the town road crews.
Norwich Public Works Department crews are grappling with equipment breakdowns caused by the heavy snow and will concentrate today's snow removal efforts on clearing main thoroughfares in the city, City Manager Alan Bergren said.
Bergren has participated in conference calls between Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and municipal leaders throughout the state.
Malloy announced during his 11 a.m. press conference today that 270 National Guard troops have been deployed and a few hundred more will be assigned to work with state and municipal departments to clean up from the storm.
Bergren said he will discuss that possibility with Public Works Director Barry Ellison today and might seek National Guard assistance to clear the city.
"Certainly we welcome the steady efforts of the governor to keep in touch with the municipalities throughout the storm," Bergren said.
Norwich Public Utilities corrected its outage numbers this morning. At peak, 750 customers were without power.
Currently 163 customers are without power, with 141 out in the Sunny Waters Mobile Home Park in Occum.
11:20 a.m. update
"Stay home" Gov. Dannel P. Malloy told a socked-in state Saturday morning as the massive blizzard wound down after dropping up to 38 inches in some parts of the state.
Malloy signed an executive order banning travel on all road ways to keep them cleared for emergency responders.
He also noted the 39,000 Connecticut Light & Power customers, the majority in southeastern Connecticut, in the dark. CL&P is staging crews at the Waterford Speedbowl and Hammonasset State Park in Madison, but responses will be limited by impassable roads and high winds, Malloy said.
Outages around 11 a.m. topped 7,700 in East Lyme, 6,584 in Waterford, 2,492 in New London, 3,981 in Old Lyme and 4,159 in Stonington. About 36,000 of the 39,000 statewide totals are in southeastern Connecticut.
"CL&P is massing resources in that part of the state," Malloy said, with a CL&P news conference expected later today.
Malloy said 270 National Guardsmen are on duty, with more expected. State police responded to more than 1,600 calls during the last 24 hours, Malloy said, including to one fatality in the state stemming from the storm. Malloy said an 81-year-old woman using her snowplow in Prospect Friday night was hit by a car, which fled the scene.
Malloy said the travel ban, on all roads throughout the state, will be extended at least through today. Malloy will make another statement around 6 p.m. this evening.
8 a.m. update
In Stonington, more than 50 percent, or about 4,125 CL&P customers are without power. First Selectman Ed Haberek reported by phone from the town's Emergency Operations Center that roads are practically impassable with snow, trees and wires down everywhere.
"The amount of roads that don't have trees down are less than the ones that do," he said. "We're trying to dig out right now. Guys have been working all night; they're wiped but trying to keep up. We're asking people to give patience as we try to get roads open for access."
"We're already getting calls for shelter," Haberek said around 7:30 this morning. By 10 or 11 a.m., Stonington High School is expected to open as a second regional shelter.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio in New London said a plan was being crafted to evacuate people from an elderly housing complex that has lost power. New London has 1,823, or 13 percent of CL&P customers without electricity.
"We're also monitoring our ongoing removal efforts and concentrated on trying to keep the main arteries open, especially the avenues to the hospital," Finizio said. "It's all hands on deck but obviously with the degree of snowfall, there's only some much we can keep pace with. Mother Nature is a pretty powerful force here."
Around 8 a.m., Finizio said plow crews were reporting people walking around, impeding the snow removal process.
"There's downed wires everywhere and it's a major public safety risk to be out now, so go home and stay home until we can get this under control," Finizio said.

Although commonly known simply as Dubai the city is only a part of a vast desert area which forms the emirate with the same name. Here are the main areas of the city and the outlying region, and what you will find in them.
The long, lazy S of the Creek (Khor Dubai) is the artery around which the city has grown and prospered, and from where it derives much of its character. An intriguing mix of trading, fishing and tourist vessels constantly ply its waters.
Despite the bulldozing and building that is swiftly re-shaping Dubai, the Creek has managed to stay one of the most characterful areas in Dubai, and remains a busy thoroughfare.
This area of Dubai is truly eclectic, mixing the traditional with the modern. To the west is souk land, a rabbit warren of narrow alleys, where cheap eateries jostle for space with overflowing shops selling goods of every description.
Further east in Deira and along the bank of the Creek, you will find ancient dhows loading and unloading their cargos. Next to them rise striking buildings such as the glittering glass and steel towers of Deira's burgeoning business district. Attractions in this area of Dubai include Deira City Centre mall, the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, the tennis stadium, Century & Irish Villages and Dubai Festival Centre, the location for yet more shops, restaurants and entertainment.
The bustling Bur Dubai area is the location of some of Dubai's most historic buildings, including the beautiful wind-towered Al Fahidi Historical District – the old mercantile headquarters.
Bur Dubai houses the Diwan (Ruler's office) where matters of state are decided. The old fort, now the Dubai Museum, traces the city's development. There is a bustling business hub, a textile souk, a street full of electronics shops, plus many residential apartment blocks, as well as many outdoor eateries and shisha cafés along the Creek.
Oud Metha is a largely residential area of Dubai, but also home to an array of recreational and educational facilities. There are classy shops at the glorious reincarnation of ancient Egypt that is Wafi City, excellent eateries at the nearby Pyramids, some seriously sophisticated bars at the adjoining Raffles Dubai hotel as well as additional retail opportunities at Lamcy Plaza.
Take your pick from bowling, ice skating, cable car rides, the Wonderland Theme and Water Park and daily dinner dhow cruises from Al-Boom Tourist Village. This area of Dubai is also home to Dubai Healthcare City, a state-of-the-art medical facility.
Heading south-west from Trade Centre Roundabout towards Abu Dhabi, the famous 12-lane Sheikh Zayed Road runs parallel to the coast. Lined with hotels, malls, office and apartment blocks of stunning chrome and glass, the architecture speaks of eye-popping wealth and conspicuous consumption.
A mass of record-breaking new developments have sprung up in this area of Dubai, including the distinctive gate-shaped DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) – home to Dubai's very own financial exchange – and the vertigo-inducing Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, surrounded by the Dubai Fountain.
Jumeirah is an affluent suburb crammed with all the facilities needed to live the good life: desirable properties, art galleries, boutiques, lovely parks and beautiful people. This area of Dubai is a soap opera neighbourhood in the making, with some of the well-heeled female residents being dubbed the Jumeirah Jane set.
There is a plethora of malls and beauty salons, but also many pleasant cafés. Jumeira Beach Park offers a convenient place to top up the tan, while a busy coastal cycle path runs along the beach. The nearby oasis of Safa Park provides fairground rides and sports in a green, shady environment.
In contrast, neighbouring Satwa is earthy and atmospheric, best known for its textile shops and excellent tailors. However, even this bastion of old Dubai is planning radical reconstruction as this area of Dubai is prime real estate. See it now before it changes forever. And while you're there, it's worth catching a glimpse of the Thursday and Friday night traffic parade along 2nd December Street (formerly known as Al Dhiyafah Street).
The southerly stretch of the west coast leads away from the heart of Dubai into a totally different world, although a burgeoning host of luxury residential projects, exclusive five-star resorts and chart-topping attractions are busy breathing new meaning into the term 'ground-breaking'.
Umm Suqeim boasts the Burj Al-Arab, Wild Wadi and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Further south, and home to the exquisite One & Only Royal Mirage, Al-Sufouh is sandwiched between the high-profile Madinat Jumeirah and Dubai Marina developments, and controls the entrance to the man-made Palm Jumeirah project.
One of the first areas to allow foreign ownership of property, New Dubai has grown from several modest housing developments to include Dubai Marina, and Jumeriah Lake Towers, with its 200 plus high-rise properties. Inland, it features low-lying residential areas surrounded by lakes, meadows and golf courses.

More than half of all adult women will have at least one vaginal yeast infection –and, surprisingly, about 20% of men experience a similar infection. Although these infections can be effectively treated with medications, for an unfortunate few they have a tendency to recur despite adequate treatment. Can eating yogurt help them avoid repeated infections?
Evidence for the Health Claim
A fungus known as Candida is responsible for causing yeast infections. A small amount of it is always present on the skin and mucous membrane surfaces in the body. However, when Candida multiplies, and the acid levels in the vagina become imbalanced, the unpleasant symptoms of a yeast infection, or candidiasis , result. Most female yeast infection sufferers report itching and burning that may be more pronounced when urinating. Men who have candidiasis typically complain of itching and red, bumpy skin on and around the penis.
Fermented milk products contain so-called "probiotic," or "good" bacteria, including lactobacillus, acidophilus , and bifidobacterium , that compete with Candida in the genital area.
In a study conducted with 320 Finnish women, researchers found that those who ate three or more servings per week of yogurt–or in some cases, cheeses made from fermented milk–had far fewer fewer UTIs than those who did not eat yogurt or ate it only infrequently.
Several studies have found that to make a significant reduction in the occurrence of yeast infections, people need to consume at least one serving of yogurt per day. In these studies, the yogurt contained acidophilus bacteria, which is generally noted on food labels as containing "live" or "active" cultures.
Evidence Against the Health Claim
Not all studies support the claim that regular yogurt consumption reduces the risk of recurrent yeast infections, and those that do have generally been small in size. Furthermore, there is little evidence to suggest that eating lots of yogurt once symptoms appear will resolve an acute infection any quicker.
There is probably sufficient evidence to recommend the consumption of active-culture yogurt as a safe preventive treatment for women who are prone to repeated infections. It is unclear whether the same can be said for men. Women who suffer from repeated infections may wish to add yogurt to their regular diets, and have at least one serving daily. Because yeast feeds on sugar, most authorities recommend selecting low sugar or unsweetened yogurts.

April 27, 2007
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale had 28 teams honored by the NCAA with Public Recognition Awards for high Academic Progress Rate scores Thursday, four more than any other school in the country. A total of 839 teams across 217 Division I colleges and universities were honored with the awards, which are given to those teams whose multi-year APR scores are in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.
The Bulldogs have a history of faring well in Academic Progress Rate scores. Last year 26 of Yale's 29 teams that were eligible to be rated were in the top 10 percent, more than any other school in the country.
The Ivy League was the Division I conference with the largest number of high-performing squads, with 152 teams receiving awards. Yale (28 teams) was followed by Brown and Dartmouth (24), Harvard (21), Princeton (19), Penn (15), Cornell (12) and Columbia (9). The league average of 19 teams per school was nearly double the next best conference average (11.5).
The Academic Progress Rate measures semester-by-semester progress toward graduation of every individual team in Division I and includes eligibility, retention and graduation as factors. The APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic-eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible. The APR is a multi-year rate for enrollment throughout the 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 academic years.
Yale's Public Recognition Award recipients were:
- Men's Baseball
- Men's Basketball
- Men's Cross Country
- Men's Fencing
- Men's Football
- Men's Golf
- Men's Ice Hockey
- Men's Indoor Track
- Men's Lacrosse
- Men's Outdoor Track
- Men's Soccer
- Men's Swimming
- Men's Tennis
- Women's Basketball
- Women's Crew
- Women's Cross Country
- Women's Fencing
- Women's Field Hockey
- Women's Golf
- Women's Gymnastics
- Women's Ice Hockey
- Women's Indoor Track
- Women's Outdoor Track
- Women's Soccer
- Women's Softball
- Women's Swimming
- Women's Tennis
- Women's Volleyball
Note: Heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, sailing, women's sailing, men's squash and women's squash are not included in the NCAA's APR ratings.

In a business, there would surely be different ways of keeping the business processes intact or maintained. There are different managerial skills and responsibilities that are applied as well as conceptual skills that are always imposed to leaders. These are the skills that would always be important of all. Without these skills, normally, the company would not work efficiently and would not be productive and progressive. This is somehow disturbing for the people involved in the company, either coming from the outside or inside premises.

Key to the Table Above
The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a unique and widely used international resource of the results of 6540 chronic, long-term animal cancer tests on 1547 chemicals. The CPDB provides easy access to the bioassay literature, with qualitative and quantitative analyses of both positive and negative experiments that have been published over the past 50 years in the general literature through 2001 and by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program through 2004. The CPDB standardizes the diverse literature of cancer bioassays that vary widely in protocol, histopathological examination and nomenclature, and in the published author's choices of what information to provide in their papers. Results are reported in the CPDB for tests in rats, mice, hamsters, dogs, and nonhuman primates.
For each experiment, information is included on species, strain, and sex of test animal; features of experimental protocol such as route of administration, duration of dosing, dose level(s) in mg/kg body weight/day, and duration of experiment; experimental results are provided on target organ, tumor type, and tumor incidence; carcinogenic potency (TD50) and its statistical significance; shape of the dose-response, author's opinion as to carcinogenicity, and literature citation.
Only tests with dosing for at least ¼ the standard lifespan of the species and experiment length at least ½ the lifespan are included in the CPDB. Only routes of administration with whole body exposure are included. Doses are standardized, average dose rates in mg/kg/day. A description of methods used in the CPDB to standardize the diverse literature of animal cancer tests is presented for: 1) Criteria for inclusion of experiments 2) Standardization of average daily dose levels and 3) TD50 estimation for a standard lifespan. See Methods for other details.
TD50 provides a standardized quantitative measure that can be used for comparisons and analyses of many issues in carcinogenesis. The range of TD50 values across chemicals that are rodent carcinogens is more than 100 million-fold. More than half the chemicals tested are positive in at least one experiment.
A plot of all results on each experiment in the CPDB for this chemical is presented below. These results are the source information for the Cancer Test Summary table above.

See full CPDB Summary Table on 1547 chemicals. See Full CPDB for all results on 6540 experiments of 1547 chemicals.
A complete list of CPDB chemicals, which is searchable by name or by CAS number, is available here.
For a compendium of CPDB results organized by target organ, which lists all chemicals in each species that induced tumors in each of 35 organs, see Summary Table by Target Organ.
The CPDB is available in several formats that permit printing and downloading into spreadsheets and statistical databases.
A Supplementary Dataset gives details on dosing and survival for each experiment.
Relatively precise estimates of the lower confidence limit on the TD10 (LTD10) are readily calculated from the TD50 and its lower confidence limit, which are reported in the CPDB. For researchers and regulatory agencies interested in LTD10 values, we provide them in an Excel spreadsheet.
PDF versions of our publications of analyses using the CPDB are available, organized by year and by research topic.

Gay Theology Without Apology
Pilgrim Press, 1993 - 183 páginas
"In these fresh and bold essays, Gary David Comstock finds God's liberating connection in scripture-from-the-underside, in nontraditional traditions, and in body experience. Candidly self-revelatory, he shows how only in taking our own lives seriously can we be lovers of the world. Gay Theology without Apology is ... a charter of hope for gay/lesbian/bisexual Christians on the edges of the church." James B. Nelson

Allen Dodson was the 2008-2009 ASBMB science policy fellow. He received a B.S. in molecular, cellular and developmental biology from Yale University in 2002, doing his senior thesis with Sidney Altman. He completed his doctoral dissertation research in 2008 in the laboratory of Donald Coen at Harvard Medical School's department of biological chemistry and molecular biology.
As a ninth-grade biology student, I learned that scientists were trying to harness viruses to deliver corrected genes to the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The ingenuity of this approach captured my imagination. Genetics had identified the cause of the disease, but human hands had not yet devised the tools to correct the flaw in a living, breathing patient. In contrast, cold viruses had evolved over the course of centuries to deliver genes to human lung cells. The potential of biology to solve this intractable problem was appealing on an intellectual level.
When I first read through the course catalog at Yale University, two listings stood out. One offering, a graduate-level elective titled "Molecular Genetics of Prokaryotes," started with the most fundamental levels of gene expression and then built the skills and knowledge needed to understand and design such clever approaches to problems. The other, a two-semester course on constitutional law, offered an equally fundamental view of the law that shapes our society — the context in which our problem-solving efforts take place.
As an undergraduate, I did not have to choose; I could take a break from my senior thesis research in molecular, cellular and developmental biology to participate in debates on the floor of the Yale Political Union. I ultimately decided to pursue graduate school, reasoning that a specialized knowledge of biology would serve me well regardless of where I went afterward.
Shortly after I started at Harvard University, I joined a graduate student group called Science in the News, whose mission was to bring a greater understanding of science to the public. Through SITN, I presented seminars on topics like therapeutic cloning, avian influenza and the cervical cancer vaccine. I enjoyed learning about different topics in science and explaining them to nontechnical audiences.
During my second year of grad school, I began my dissertation research on antiviral drug screening against the herpes simplex virus. The work appealed to me because it drew on some of the same types of ingenuity that prompted researchers to use viruses for gene therapy. At the same time, I found that I enjoyed learning about, evaluating and communicating science more than I enjoyed performing it at the bench.
As I neared graduation, my adviser pointed me toward the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's science policy fellowship. I applied, was accepted and started in ASBMB's public affairs office in the fall of 2008. During my first week on the job, we traveled to the Rayburn House Office Building to see National Institutes of Health Director Elias Zerhouni testifying to the House on NIH's progress. On our way out, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice passed us in the halls on her way to a hearing on Russia. It was a pretty dramatic change from the daily routine of research.
Most of my lessons from my time at ASBMB are more mundane. I spent a lot of time reading about budget processes and regulatory proposals. Writing nontechnical information, with space at a premium, on a daily basis greatly has improved the quality of my writing. I also had the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of Peter Farnham, the members of ASBMB's Public Affairs Advisory Committee and our collaborators at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
"Most researchers know where to find the path from graduate school to an academic postdoc or a position in industry."
Most of all, I have enjoyed bringing members of ASBMB to the Hill. As a policy staff member, I was in the unique position of being an ambassador between our member scientists, who know technical information but are not as familiar with Congress, and congressional staff, who generally do not have a technical background. I always have been struck by our members' enthusiasm and willingness to participate, and it was very rewarding to know that I had helped them get their messages across.
Every month or so, I receive an e-mail from someone looking for career advice.
Most researchers know where to find the path from graduate school to an academic postdoc or a position in industry. The path away from the bench seems murky by comparison. Job announcements request years of experience, and many of the scientists who have successfully made the jump to policy did so with the help of a highly competitive fellowship (such as ASBMB's). The first position beyond the bench — that key credential that establishes one's ability to succeed at something other than experimental science — can prove highly elusive.
I can't claim to solve this problem, but perhaps I can offer some advice on how to look for the solutions.
The science policy field encompasses a wide variety of activities. Knowing which ones interest you will influence what types of jobs you pursue.
Advocacy organizations like ASBMB work to influence policy: budgets, regulations and all of the other news we cover in this magazine. The policymakers in Congress and relevant agencies are the most prominent audience for this sort of work, but they are not the only audience; communicating directly with the people you represent is equally important. The ASBMB Hill Day covered in this issue was possible only because of the efforts of society members in each of the target districts who responded to my requests for students and postdocs who would make excellent ambassadors for science.
The other major direction is implementing policy at government agencies. Scientific expertise is needed to interpret existing regulations and determine how they apply to specific situations. The goal is to ensure that existing policies are carried out — hopefully with an eye toward helping people comply with the regulations.
Ever since leaving the bench, I have learned that a lot of the skills I used in research are also applicable to other jobs.
Communication, whether by reading, writing or giving presentations, is crucial. In general, you will need to present concise, nontechnical information, in contrast with the highly technical experimental details of your scientific research. If you do not enjoy reading and writing, whether it is policy news, regulatory submissions or legislative language, this will affect what types of jobs you will want. Research presentations, participation in student/postdoc government or articles for your institution's student newspaper can help polish your skills even as your daily focus remains on bench work.
Your research career also builds qualities that employers will be looking for. You have independence and drive, with the Ph.D. and/or publications to prove your ability to complete a project. You have analytical skills, which work on qualitative questions of policies and budgets. You also have experience working in a group environment and in training your fellow researchers, both of which can play big roles in any number of careers beyond the bench.
Finally, as with bench research, your search will take patience and persistence. The harsh economy may seem to have made a tough job hunt even tougher, but the dedication that gets you through your research should be enough to handle one more challenge.

Independent label signs New Order
Pop pioneers New Order have signed for independent label Mute more than 30 years after making their name with Factory Records.
The Manchester band, who formed in 1980 out of the ashes of post-punk rockers Joy Division, released their first single on Factory in 1981 and went on to have hits with pioneering dance track Blue Monday and Temptation.
Mute, founded in 1978 by Daniel Miller, is best known for launching the career of Depeche Mode.
New Order said: "We couldn't imagine a better place to be than working with Daniel Miller and his team. Mute has a superb roster of artists and a history that complements our own. In many ways joining the label feels like we are coming home, returning to our independent roots."
Miller said the deal was "an exciting new chapter" for the label and the band. He said: "When the possibility of us working together first came up, I was invited to hear some of the new material and immediately had no doubts whatsoever that Mute would be the right home for New Order. We've already had a number of creative conversations, and I am looking towards an exciting future."
The band, currently performing without founder member Peter Hook, recently toured South America and the United States and plan to record new material this year.

Covered in extensive detail on the IEEE Spectrum magazine site, a father names Paul Wallich in Vermont decided to build a camera-equipped quadcopter to follow his son from home to the school bus stop. He specifically wanted to build the security device for extremely cold mornings in December and January in order to avoid the quarter-mile walk to and from the bus stop. To get started, he first purchased a basic quadcopter kit and was quickly able to get up in the air due to the simple construction. He also designed a few sets of replacement legs out of foam board to cushion landings.
Rather than develop a custom video solution, Wallich attached an old smartphone to the quadcopter and turned on a video chat application in order to send a video feed back to his computer at home. That particular model of quadcopter could lift several pounds, so the addition of the smartphone wasn't significant in regards to the effect of the added weight on maneuverability.
While the software controlling the quadcopter can be programmed to travel a specific set of coordinates, Wallich needed to come up with a solution that would work with the varied path his son took each day on the way to the school bus stop. In order to accomplish this, he created a small GPS beacon powered by a coin-cell battery that lasts up to a week. This beacon was placed within his son's backpack and the quadcopter was programmed to stay a specific distance from the beacon.
According to Wallich, he ran into issues with wind as well as obstacles in the path such as branches on trees. In an interview with NBC News, Wallich stated "Vermont, as it turns out, is a really bad place for doing this kind of thing because you have hills and you have trees. Hills mean that the altitude control gets a lot more complicated and trees mean you have to do obstacle avoidance. If my kid is walking along the road and there is a branch overhanging the road, the quadcopter will gleefully run smack into it."
He's looking into adding more sonar units on the quadcopter in order to assist with collision avoidance as well as a new sensor to provide more accurate positioning while in the air. Wallich also discovered that the lithium-ion battery life powering the quadcopter was limited at best. He had enough time to fly to the bus stop, hover for a few minutes and fly back to the house before the battery would go completely dead. In addition, power requirements doubled when the quadcopter was in motion or attempting to fly against a stiff breeze. Adding extra batteries to the quadcopter to increase power also increased the weight, thus it wasn't significantly helpful.
Regarding the safety of the device, Wallich stated "With the current state of the technology, unless I really changed the design a lot, I would not want it within 15 feet of my kid." However, Wallich indicated that his son liked the automated robot drone.

Syria's opposition urges West to send rebels arms
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The newly elected leader of Syria's main opposition group slammed the international community for what he called inaction, saying Saturday that fighters are in desperate need of weapons to break the stalemate with President Bashar Assad's forces.
George Sabra's comments came as his Syrian National Council struggled with other opposition groups to try to forge a cohesive and more representative leadership as rebels step up attacks against regime forces.
Two suicide car bombers struck a military camp in the southern city of Daraa on Saturday, killing at least 20 government soldiers and prompting clashes in the area, activists said.
Bombings targeting state security institutions have become frequent in recent months, raising Western fears that extremists fighting with the rebels could gain influence. That's one of the reasons the rebels' foreign backers are wary of providing weapons.
The United States also has become increasingly frustrated with the opposition's inability to overcome deep divisions and rivalries in order to present a single conduit for foreign support.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton harshly criticized the SNC late last month and called for a leadership that can rally wider support among activists fighting the regime on the ground.
Sabra, who was elected by the SNC on Friday, said the international community should support the opposition and send arms without conditions, rather than linking aid to an overhaul of the leadership.
The Syrian opposition may have many foreign friends, he told The Associated Press in an interview, "but unfortunately we get nothing from them, except some statements, some encouragement." The regime "has few friends, but these friends give the regime everything," he added, referring to Assad allies Russia, China and Iran.
Sabra, 65, headed the SNC delegation Saturday in talks in the Qatari capital of Doha on a Western-backed proposal that would give the group only about one-third of 60 seats on a leadership panel to make room for more activists from inside Syria, including those fighting on the front lines.
The outcome of the talks will be crucial not just for the SNC, widely seen as out of touch with activists on the ground in Syria, but for the future of the entire opposition. Without unity among opposition groups, the international community is unlikely to step up aid.
Sabra, a Christian and a veteran left-wing dissident who was repeatedly imprisoned by the regime, said the SNC agrees that unity is important but suggested his group would not accept a deal that could lead to its demise.
The choice of a Christian to lead the SNC could help counter Western concerns about the influence of Islamists in the group. A senior Brotherhood figure, Mohammed Farouk Taifour, was chosen as Sabra's deputy.
But analysts said Sabra's election was unlikely to significantly change the situation.
"I don't think his election will do anything to persuade the detractors of the SNC that it has become more attractive and democratic," said Salman Shaikh, the director of the Brookings Doha Center. Sabra is an SNC insider, and "his election is part of continuity, not change," he added.
Senior SNC members portrayed Saturday's meeting as the beginning of what could be days of negotiations over the size and mission of any leadership group. Other opposition delegates said an agreement on the new body is imminent.
Riad Seif, another veteran dissident who presented the reform plan, has said the new group would be recognized as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people and would receive billions of dollars in aid.
Sabra said he and the 66-year-old Seif are old friends and even shared a jail cell when both were rounded up after the March 2011 outbreak of the uprising against the regime. "The problem is with the initiative itself," he said of Seif's plan, arguing that it's too vague.
Haitham Maleh, a veteran Syrian opposition leader, said discussions with Sabra will continue but the leadership group might be formed without the SNC if an agreement can't be reached.
"If they (SNC representatives) don't accept having a common body, we could form a political body alone," Maleh said.
Damascus has dismissed the meeting in Doha, and Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called it a political folly. In an interview on state-run Syrian TV aired late Friday, al-Zoubi said those who "meet in hotels" abroad are "deluding themselves" if they think they can overthrow the government.
Syrians, who fled violence and found refuge in neighboring countries, like Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon, urged Sabra and other opposition leaders to work together to end bloodshed.
"Our priority is to stop killing of the Syrian people. They should unite and become a single entity," said Abdulrahman Mostafa, 33, who has been living in the Yayladagi refugee camp in Turkey's Hatay province along the border with Syria. "If our leaders are not united, how can we stand united as a people?"
Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have fled the violence in their country, inundating neighboring countries. As many as 11,000 crossed the borders on Friday, a surge attributed to fighting at Ras al-Ayn in the predominantly Kurdish oil-producing northeastern province of al-Hasaka.
The uprising against Assad began in March 2011 with peaceful protests in Daraa, inspired by the Arab Spring wave of revolutions in the Middle East. But a regime crackdown prompted fierce fighting, propelling the conflict into a civil war that has taken on sectarian overtones. In all, activists say more than 36,000 people have been killed.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, said two suicide bombers drove their explosives-laden cars into a military encampment behind the officer's club in Daraa in quick succession. It said at least 20 soldiers were killed, most in the second explosion.
Other activists described explosions that targeted the high security area but didn't say they were suicide attacks. State-run news agency SANA reported triple car bombings in Daraa that killed seven civilians and wounded several others.
The government rarely provides death tolls for security forces, and the discrepancy could not be reconciled or independently verified.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Saturday's attack, but Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaida-inspired extremist group that is fighting alongside the rebels, has said it was responsible for similar bombings in the past.
In other violence, Syrian TV said a locally made rocket slammed into a four-story residential building in the district of al-Qassaa in the capital of Damascus, wounding two young women.
SANA said three mortar rounds were fired in central Damascus Saturday evening, injuring several people and damaging a clinic in a residential building in al-Tilyani neighborhood.
The state media blamed "terrorists" for the attacks — the term used by the Syrian government to describe rebels.
