What should you do if the DEA or the police break down your door?
Sadly, law enforcement officers have a nasty history of breaking into the wrong homes. The latest attack was just two days ago, in Aberdeen Washington. Here's the report, from various WA newspapers:
"Federal agents and officers broke down the door to the wrong home in Grays County during a series of drug raids. The resident told KBKW she was taking a shower when armed agents broke in and forced her outside in a bath robe. She later found out the search warrant had a different address than her home, where she lives with her 2-year-old daughter and mother."
At least she wasn't killed. In another case, police (using faulty information from a drug informant) raided an innocent couple in Lebanon, Tennessee. When they pounded on door, the wife—fearing a home invasion—yelled to her husband, "Baby, get your gun!" Shots were exchanged and her husband was killed.
One danger is that the a search warrant itself may contain the wrong address. Another is that--such as the case in Aberdeen--the agents don't pay enough attention to the address. The third danger is that you may have an enemy who arranges for anonymous calls to the police, saying marijuana is being grown in your home even though this is totally untrue. So what's an innocent person to do?
This is outlined in my e-book Dirty Tricks for Savvy Checks. If you have a dog that barks, that will put you on the alert. If no dog, an electronic dog can be used for the same purpose. Movement beyond the front door sets off a series of barks. In addition, you need to have one or more long-throw deadbolts in place, backed up by a door-jammer brace. That way, the first blow from the agent's sledge hammer will NOT break the door in, giving you time to act.
If you have a gun, keep it with you but hide under the bed or in a closet or safe-room until you determine who it is. If you decide it must be a raid by the DEA, hide the gun and wait to be found. But if masked men break into your bedroom and you are in fear of your life, act accordingly.
For more information about fortifying your home and using weapons, see Dirty Tricks for Savvy Chicks (Ages 18-88).

sadly if it is the govt and you have a gun in your hand, they will outgun you and have body armor, so you will be killed
the dog will probably silenced with drugs or killed so he won't warn you either.

Follow Mr. Luna's advise and become as invisible as possible for your situation. Be aware that police utilize blunt force tactics and there some very simple remedies to delay their or a criminal entry into your premises. The key is education and training. The next question is more serious. What have you done, or could have possibly done. or be linked to others, to get real professionals interested in you. Chances are slim that you will thwart true professionals. Have a bug-out bag.ReplyDelete

For those of you who are planning on building your own home, you can have a 'fake door' installed at the front of your house, and when the fuzz goes to break it down, they instead have a cinderblock wall in front of them- put the 'real' door somewhere else, disguise it by using T-1 11 siding or something, ha!ReplyDelete

Professor McGrath receives Dean's Office PumpPrimer II Grant
Professor Jim McGrath recently received a Dean's Office PumpPrimer II Grant for his research project titled, "Desalinization with Ultrathin Nafion Membranes.
Project description: The World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report has consistently ranked access to water as one of the most critical issues facing the planet. Arid and drought-strikes regions with ready access to sea water in California, Israel, India, Australia, and elsewhere are investing billions in the production of inefficient reverse osmosis (RO)-based desalinization plants to produce drinkable water. Increasingly, technologists are turning to nanotechnology as a means of reducing costs by fundamental changing the fundamental principles at work. This project will test a prediction that ultrathin (100 nm thick) Nafion® membranes have the potential for desalinization with orders-of-magnitude greater efficiency than conventional reverse-osmosis (RO). This prediction is based on unexpected findings of a rate of osmotic flux of pure water across ultrathin Nafion® membranes used as eletroosomostic pumps.

Karl Smith places third in University's Falling Walls Competition
Karl Smith, a PhD student in Biophysics and a member of the lab of James McGrath, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, won third place in the University of Rochester's Falling Walls Competition for describing his use of physics to make water behind a filter form a mixer vortex, reducing the difficulty of normal stirring when fluids stick to surfaces. A total of 19 presenters competed.
The competition is associated with the Falling Walls foundation, a non-profit organization that fosters discussions on research and innovation and promotes the latest scientific findings to society. The Rochester winner's idea will compete with others from around the world at the Falling Walls Lab Finale in November in Berlin. This event selects the participants for the annual Falling Walls Conference the following day: an international forum for science and innovation to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall. Speakers at the conference have included Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany; Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse; and young inventors from around the world. BBC London said it was where the
brightest minds on the planetmeet.
Last year's Falling Walls Lab Rochester winner, Ryan Trombetta, a BME PhD student in Dr. Awad's lab, finished 12th (out off a 100 finalists worldwide) in the Berlin competition for his description of using 3D printed bone grafts to treat osteomyelitis. See his presentation here.

Grant Will Help Move UR Innovations From Bench-Top to Bedside
BME Professor Jim McGrath has received I-Corps funding for his project entitled
Portable Hemodialysiswhich aims to develop a portable hemodialysis system for acute renal replacement therapy that clears toxins at rates required for human treatments. The McGrath lab will develop a multichip dialysis prototype that clears urea (acute kidney failure) and ammonia (acute liver failure) from blood at a rate (10 mL/min) typical of standard dialysis machines.
The NSF I-Corps program gave us an opportunity to investigate the commercial viability of our ideas for wearable hemodialysis by talking to 100 potential 'customers.' These customers included patients, doctors, caregivers, dialysis center and hospital administrators, first responders, engineers, social workers and more. The experience transformed our understanding of hemodialysis, how it is administered, and where the technology needs actually are. We've used the iCorps experience to write highly informed and focused grant proposals to the NIH that we hope will enable us to translate our technology and actually improve the life of patients with end stage renal failure, said McGrath.

Super-Thin Membranes Clear the Way for Chip-Sized Pumps
A microfluidic bioreactor consists of two chambers separated by a nanoporous silicon membrane. It allows for flow-based assays using minimal amounts of reagent. The ultra-thin silicon membrane provides an excellent mimic of biological barrier properties.
The ability to shrink laboratory-scale processes to automated chip-sized systems would revolutionize biotechnology and medicine. For example, inexpensive and highly portable devices that process blood samples to detect biological agents such as anthrax are needed by the U.S. military and for homeland security efforts. One of the challenges of
lab-on-a-chiptechnology is the need for miniaturized pumps to move solutions through micro-channels. Electroosmotic pumps (EOPs), devices in which fluids appear to magically move through porous media in the presence of an electric field, are ideal because they can be readily miniaturized. EOPs, however, require bulky, external power sources, which defeats the concept of portability. But a super-thin silicon membrane developed at the University of Rochester could now make it possible to drastically shrink the power source, paving the way for diagnostic devices the size of a credit card.
Up until now, electroosmotic pumps have had to operate at a very high voltage - about 10 kilovolts,said James McGrath, associate professor of biomedical engineering.
Our device works in the range of one-quarter of a volt, which means it can be integrated into devices and powered with small batteries.
McGrath's research paper is being published this week by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

UR, RIT Researchers Face New Pressure to Commercialize Work
When University of Rochester scientist James McGrath started his career, doing research that would lead to marketable products was not a priority.
But the landscape has changed dramatically. Government funding for research has been stagnant for several years. Public and private grants now come with greater demands for results that can help drive profits and economic development.
Some venture capital firms are investing less in small early-stage projects. Pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers have switched from in-house research to working with universities and other institutions. Partnerships between university researchers and industry have grown.

Reasearchers Working on Dialysis Machine Small Enough to Hold in Your Hand
Imagine a dialysis machine small enough that a patient could wear it. A super-thin filtering material may allow researchers at the University of Rochester to revolutionize dialysis for patients with kidney disease. Jim McGrath, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester, says the thinner the membrane that blood passes through, the more efficient its filtering capacity.
McGrath says the material they're working with filters blood more efficiently, and could end up in a much smaller device that could fit on an arm band.
We can basically replace the experience of going to a dialysis center three times a week with nightly dialysis at home with a device that's about the size of a cell phone and achieve the same sort of clearance level. This is actually like a clinic on a chip,he said.

Nano-porous silicon membranes developed at the University of Rochester's Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences will soon be used to manufacture portable devices that can analyze DNA in remote settings.
A $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation will fund a partnership among Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, James McGrath, SiMPore, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Integrated Nanotechnologies (INT) to fabricate the devices.

Dr. Jim McGrath Receives $900,000 in NSF Grants
Biomedical Engineering associate professor, Jim McGrath, Ph.D. has just received some important grants to develop new applications for the super-thin, nanoporous silicon membranes that have been developed at the Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. A nearly $600,000 National Science Foundation grant will partner McGrath's lab, SiMPore (the University-based startup that manufactures the membranes), RIT, and Integrated Nanotechnologies (INT), another local startup. They'll be using the membranes as filters in a portable INT device that can analyze DNA extracted from a drop of blood. This can be used to diagnose disease or detect pathogens, in the field, in a matter of minutes. They'll then miniaturize all of this onto a lab-on-a-chip (LOC).
Another $300,000 from NSF will fund McGrath's ongoing research to modify the membranes for additional uses; a $100,000 grant continuation from the Coulter Foundation will fund McGrath's efforts to develop a blood dialysis device, using a silicon membrane, that would be small enough to wear on a belt. Imagine what a godsend that would be, if people could remain mobile and active while undergoing continuous dialysis, instead of sitting four hours a day, three days a week in dialysis centers!
August 30, 2011
Dr. James McGrath Receives Coulter Foundation Grant
Professors James McGrath, Ph.D. (Biomedical Engineering) and Jeremy Taylor, M.D. (Nephrology) were recently awarded a Coulter Foundation grant to develop a wearable hemodialysis system using a breakthrough silicon nanomembrane technology originally developed at the University of Rochester. Taking advantage of the extraordinary permeability and selectivity of the nanomembranes, the team hopes to eventually replace clinic-based hemodialysis with a much smaller continuous dialysis system that allows patients to remain mobile. As clinical dialysis requires hours of immobilization during dialysis and fluctuations in toxin levels that cause side effects, a continuous wearable system would provide dramatic improvement in patient lifestyle.

BME Student Kelli Summers Receives Fulbright Grant
Congratulations to BME undergraduate student Kelli Summers, who has been selected as a 2011-2012 Fulbright Scholar to conduct research on
Implementing a Strategy to Combat Child Pneumonia Fatalities in Ghanaian Rural Hospitals.
Kelli will leave for Malawi at the end of May to learn about conducting anthropological research and begin her Fulbright research. She will then travel to St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Foso, Ghana for her Fulbright year and will collaborate with a physician she met during a volunteer experience in 2009. She hopes to create modifications to the World Health Organization's Child Lung Health Program (CLHP) through the use of a focus group and then implement it in the Children's Ward to ultimately decrease the child mortality rate at St. Francis and provide a model for other hospitals in the area.
Her research builds upon the CLHP, which contains protocols to assess and treat childhood pneumonia in developing countries in an effort to decrease the child mortality rate. After conducting extensive literary research, Kelli believes three major problems of the CLHP prevail:
- Disconnect between the policy-makers and the hospital staff implementing the program
- Lack of cultural specificity in nurse education and expectations for patient receptiveness
- Lack of diagnostic technology - specifically pulse oximeters
Kelli has been the immediate past president of the Student Chapter of BMES, and has been involved with BMES since she was a freshman. As co-founder and co-President of UR Genocide Intervention, Kelli helped to raise awareness, advocate to local politicians, raise money for victims, and secure scholarships for Sudanese students to come to the University of Rochester through Banaa. Additionally, Kelli has been tutoring local refugee high school and middle school kids every Saturday for the past year and a half.
It's been interesting interacting with them,said Kelli about the kids,
It's incredible to see how much they've grown in such a short time.Kelli has also been working in Professor McGrath's Laboratory since her sophomore year conducting research under an NIH grant on
Mechanisms Underlying Collective Cell Migration in Vitro.She won the Presidential Research Award this year and is currently working on a peer-reviewed paper as the primary author to submit to the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.

Tom Gaborski takes
lab-to-marketas VP of Life Sciences at SiMPore Inc.
Recent Ph.D. graduate Tom Gaborski is realizing his dream of entrepreneurship as VP of Life Sciences at UR spinoff, SiMPore, Inc. Tom helped found SiMPore Inc. in 2007 while he was a graduate student in the Ph.D. program. The company actually grew out of a chance experiment conducted by Tom and Chris Striemer, who was then a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Chris had inadvertently made the world's thinnest nanoporous membrane while developing new materials for silicon-based lasers. Tom and Chris designed and conducted experiments to test if the nanoscale pores could be used to separate proteins of different sizes and charges and discovered that they did so very efficiently. The commercial potential of this discovery was immediately obvious to Tom.
Along with their advisors, Chris and Tom founded SiMPore to commercialize the discovery. The company now employs 9 people and started selling membranes in January of 2009. Sales have been steadily increasing as advertising efforts payoff and global interest in the material grows. Tom wears many hats in the small start-up but his primary job is to lead the company in its development of products for the biological sciences. Under Tom's leadership, devices for protein and DNA purification are already in the SiMPore product pipeline.

What's your emergency plan?
Most of us are aware of the devastating wildfires in the surrounding area recently, but what many people don't often think about is what they would do in a natural disaster such as a wildfire or flood. Being that our state is frequently victimized by wildfires, we need to ensure that we have personal disaster plans in place. Being that a large percentage of people in Payson and the surrounding communities own companion animals, the Humane Society of Central Arizona would like to surface the topic of preparedness prior to an emergency occurring. A simple plan such as having an emergency bag packed with your pet's necessities could be a savior during an emergency. When a disaster strikes, you really want to be prepared and run out the door, right?

This is why I wait for the whole story to come out:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/f ... &eref=sihp
Now if we could just convince ESPN to give this story the same amount of runtime that the allegations received.
I am interested in the outcome of the investigations of allegations from anonymous felons and current Lucasville inmates regarding the cigarettes that three Buckeyes were seen "bumming" from possible boosters in a sports bar in Ohio, or the 4 cents one player was seen taking from a give a penny jar at the local 7-11. The 4 cents were seen being placed their by a tattoo artist from Wickford, RI!
So we are now back to 5 players that received tats for gold pants and rings and a coach that lied about it.

Why You Need to Refinance Your Mortgage Immediately
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For years, the mortgage industry has been living off refinancings, which have often accounted for more than 70% of mortgage applications. Now the refi rage is fading, as rising rates make it harder to save money by replacing an old loan with a new one.
But homeowners should not give up too quickly. Saving a little isn't as good as saving a lot, but better than saving nothing. Those who can still refinance to trim their monthly payments would be wise to start hunting for a deal now, as the remaining opportunities will slip away if rates keep going up.
"The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to 64% of total applications, the lowest level since May 2011, from 67% the previous week," the Mortgage Bankers Association reported last week.
"Mortgage rates reached their highest point in two years," said the MBA's vice president of research and economics, Mike Fratantoni. "At these rates, many fewer homeowners have an incentive to refinance, and refinance application volume declined more than 15%. With this decline in volume, the refinance share dropped to its lowest level in more than two years."
The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage now charges about 4.5%, according to the BankingMyWay.com survey . The rate was 3.6% in early May.
Few experts think the rate will fall significantly in the months ahead, as markets anticipate the rising interest rates that typically accompany strengthening economies. So there's little reason to postpone a refinancing. After all, today's rates are still low by historical standards. The 30-year fixed loan often goes for 6% or 7%, or more.
To make a refinancing pay, the homeowner must keep the new loan long enough for its lower monthly payment to offset the refinancing fees . That obviously means that a small reduction in mortgage rate takes longer to pay off than a large one, one reason the recent jump in rates has reduced the number of refinancing applications.
But a number of lenders offer mortgages with very low fees or none at all, according to HSH Associates , the mortgage-data firm. That can make a refinancing pay off fairly fast even if the rate reduction is small.
But borrowers should assess these deals carefully, as the great fee deal may be offset by a higher loan rate. Use the Refinance Breakeven Calculator to figure which loan would provide the largest savings over the period you expect to have the mortgage.
Some lenders have eased their standards for approving applicants, HSH adds. If you worried that a less-than-perfect credit history would keep you from getting a new loan, your chances may now be better than you think.

This film is adapted from the popular series of novels by author Cassandra Clare. Call the library at 723-4650 for the exact title of this and other movies in this series as the library's movie license does not permit listing the titles of movies outside the library.

Refactoring of SortedReportRenderer to intended place at the drop-in directory /renderer.
The new renderer is called ReportRenderer. It can be called like the following example:
[[ProjectPlan( renderer=ticketlist,filternot_status=closed,showdescription=T,rows=summary|dependencies,sortby=id,asc=F,usecolors=Y,useimages=Y)]]
The new parameter showdescription creates a row spanned over the complete table width (colspan) containing the description of the referenced ticket. This can be used to for creating overviews of ticket contents.

This is a modified version of code originally contributed by Itamar Ostricher.
I felt like improving usability by replacing the input field for old tag(s)
with a select box containing all currently defined tags, where even multiple
selection and tag mass deletion is possible now.
Thank you for your truely inspiring work, Itamar.

TagsPlugin: Allow optional comment on tag changes, refs #9061.
This is an API change.
It looks tiny, still any Component implementing ITagProvider should
be updated to fully support new capabilities. This is sensible at least,
if its realm knows about tag changes like Trac tickets does, where we use
the keywords field, that has changes recorded like other ticket fields
in Trac db table ticket_change.

Code threw an AttributeError: username exception when attempting to change
tags on tickets. Couldn't find another occurance of req.username in any
other plugin nor in Trac core itself.
Turns out this flaw has been specific to the 0.6 release introduced by the
first development code in changeset [2953] back in 2008 - wow. I stumbled
upon this when attempting to implement tag mass replacement - a lucky catch.
Lucky again for finding get_reporter_id, that has been avaiable since
earliest days - 2004, and it works very well.

As outlined by Odd (osimons) in comment 4 of #9059
the usual first argument self is omitted from Interface definitions
intentionally; cite:
Interface class declarations in Trac (and plugins) are always defined
without adding self to the template methods. It has no real functional
meaning, other than established practice to specify the essence of the API
without implementation details + prevent that someone by accident makes an
instance of the Interface class and tries to call it (if so it should fail).

This work is based on code contributed/tested by Itamar Ostricher and sika.
Had a hard time myself to understand the consequences of wiki rename in
Trac 0.12 i.e. for attachments, but now I favor this approach, even regarding
naming conventions.
So I preferred reparent_resource_tags over rename_resource because the
former is what we actually do while the latter has already been done, when
IWikiChangeListener method wiki_page_renamed is triggered. Other details
regarding the latest patch by Itamar have been discussed in #9059 before.

Some major things are happening.
I'm going to be the administrator of a Genealogy Software Guide. Technically I already am. I've spent the last few months tinkering under the hood and compiling information and have (slowly) started updating it, in addition to working on two other sites – see below. It has been dormant for a few years, but there won't be any kind of formal relaunch or anything. I guess you could call it a soft reboot or a rolling relaunch, but it's a matter of me literally going through every page and refreshing everything while adding new content and checking old links. Going through the old content has taken up the better part of my time recently, which is why I haven't been able to add much new content to it, but I'm reaching the point within the next few days where noticeable things will start happening.
Along the way, I'll be merging Genealogy Software News into it. They should never have been two separate websites in the first place, but that was a few years ago and what matters is the here and now. I'll have some help from some other people who will introduce themselves at a later point on GSG.
I also have big plans for expanding it, but I'm not going to talk about those until I put them into place, since they might change and since they might create certain expectations.
Because of some changes in my professional life, I'm also going to have the time to contribute to two other genealogy sites that interest me greatly. One I am helping to migrate from an online blog service onto its own domain. It's got a small following (very small), but I expect that will change once we get it setup on its own domain. Another is fairly obscure as well and is undergoing an overhaul as well. Both revolve around topics that I consider myself to be fairly well versed in, and I'll be talking about them down the road. I don't want to get into details because one is still being moved and the other is still being overhauled, but I think they have potential.
Random Genealogy will still be my "blog" of sorts, and I'll be posting here a lot more frequently since I'm going to be once again immersed in the world of online genealogy and will come up with plenty of interesting and off-beat stuff. It'll also be my testbed of sorts for trying out new things and the occasional tutorial, so if you stop by and the look is different, don't mind it.
I'll probably be using Random Genealogy to discuss what I'm doing elsewhere on other blogs, since it's a much more informal site, as well as discussing my own genealogy research, but I will be posting unique stuff here and there.

In today's Acton Commentary, "The Logic of Economic Discrimination," I take up a small slice of the larger controversy and discussion surrounding religious liberty laws like the one passed recently in Indiana. My point, drawing out some of the implications of observations made by others, including Ryan Anderson and Shikha Dalmia, is that anti-discrimination boycotts depend on discrimination. Or as Dalmia puts it, "what is deeply ironic is that corporate America was able to wield its right not to do business (and boycott Indiana) by circumscribing the same right of Indiana businesses."
Now there are lots of other angles and significant points to explore surrounding this enormously complex and important debate. Many have criticized the hypocrisy of corporations like Apple for doing business in places like China and Saudi Arabia even while they grandstand against Indiana. Others are now pointing to the actions of many in Silicon Valley, which despite the proclamations of support for social justice, have actually created huge inequalities. Tech centers like Silicon Valley are great, it seems, unless you are a woman, have a family, or are a blue-collar worker.
Indiana politicians, under massive scrutiny, have since moved to "clarify" the RFRA law that was passed, a move that has mollified some but not others. From the beginning, these conversations about religious liberty and economic rights have, in my view, insufficiently included sensitivity to considerations like freedom of association. Hopefully the larger context and interactions of contracts and rights, not merely "religious liberty" narrowly defined, can help broaden and mature the conversation.

Norma,As a point of clarification, are you saying that 3/4 cup of your Ischia poolish weighed 2.8 ounces?Peter
Norma,If you used a bowl residue compensation of 1.5%, you must have used a thickness factor of 0.1015. Otherwise, the numbers are not the same as you posted. I mention this in case someone wants to modify your dough formulation for some reason.Peter
Norma,I would just treat the second dough ball the same way as you did the first dough ball in terms of using to make a pizza. If I recall correctly, the second dough ball got two hours of room temperature fermentation and was then placed in the refrigerator, where it will have lain in sweet repose for about four days by the time you plan to bake the pizza tomorrow.Peter
Norma,I forgot earlier to ask you how you liked the last pizza compared with the milk-based sour dough mix version of the Lehmann pizza you made recently.Peter

Entries now being accepted for Southern Tier Biennial Art Exhibition
LITTLE VALLEY – The Cattaraugus County Arts Council has announced a call for artists for the Southern Tier Biennial, a nine-county professionally juried contemporary art exhibition. The application deadline is June 7. Professional jurors from the Castellani Art Museum and the Erie Art Museum will review entered artwork on June 18, and artists will be notified of acceptance beginning July 3. Artists can read application guidelines and submit entries online at www.southerntierbiennial.com.
Past STB jurors have typically reviewed about 300 submitted works of art and accepted anywhere from 25 to 40 pieces. Accepted works are determined solely by the discretion of the two jurors, who only see images, titles, and dimensions. STB's scope, vision and number of accepted pieces are dependent on the judges' interpretation of what is "contemporary" art.
Juror Kate Koperski is Director of the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University, where she previously served as Curator of Folk Arts. She earned a Masters of Arts in Humanities from the State University of New York at Buffalo, an interdisciplinary degree combining studies in English and Cultural Anthropology with a concentration in visual material culture. Koperski has more than 15 years' experience producing exhibitions and related public programming, and has a special interest in artistic expressions that have historically been under-represented in museums.
Juror John Vanco is Director and Curator of the Erie Art Museum. Since 1968 he has organized more than 400 exhibitions. His most recent major project is the expansion of the Museum: a new LEED-certified building connecting five historic buildings into one complex that opened in October 2010. He is a frequent lecturer, essayist and exhibition juror and has served on advisory panels for the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet The Composer Foundation, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the state arts agencies in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Montana.
As in past years, works created in all visual media are eligible and the exhibition is open to all artists, 18 years of age or older, who are currently residing in New York state's Southern Tier (Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, Tioga and Tompkins counties). New for 2013, artwork will not be judged by media categories.
Accepted STB artists receive numerous benefits including the credibility and prestige of being included with some of the best contemporary artists in New York state. To add to their portfolio, each accepted artist will have their work reproduced in a color catalog. In addition, they will learn from the experience of competing in a professionally juried show as well as competing for cash prizes and a solo show.
Each artist accepted into the show will receive a $100 stipend to help defray costs associated with travel, shipping, and production. In addition, four cash awards totaling $2,500 will be presented: $1,000 to the Best of Show winner and $500 for three Honorable Mention winners. The Best of Show winner will also be presented with a solo show in the Fall of 2014 at the Olean Public Library Gallery with a four-color catalog, up to $1,000 for professional development, and up to $1,000 for show expenses.
A two-part artists' reception will take place on Sept. 21. The events will start at the Olean Public Library Gallery at 3 p.m., and continue at JCC's Center Gallery at 4:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The STB show will hang through Oct. 25.
The Southern Tier Biennial was founded in 2005 and is produced by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, in collaboration with the Olean Public Library, Jamestown Community College and the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation, made possible by an endowment from the estate of F. Donald Kenney.

Arrest report of Rosa Parks
In 1955, a 42-year-old seamstress touched off a 381-day boycott of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system when she was arrested for failing to yield her seat to a white man. This is the record of Rosa Parks's arrest. A few days later, she was fined $10 plus $4. for court costs. A 26-year-old unknown minister, Martin Luther King, Jr., emerged as the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Blinding: an essential component in decreasing risk of bias in experimental designs
- Correspondence to: Dr Dorothy Forbes
Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta, Level 3, Edmonton Clinic Health Academy (ECHA), 11405-87Ave, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 1C9; dorothy.forbes{at}ualberta.ca
What is blinding?
Blinding (or masking) is the process used in experimental research by which study participants, persons caring for the participants, persons providing the intervention, data collectors and data analysts are kept unaware of group assignment (control vs intervention). Blinding aims to reduce the risk of bias that can be caused by an awareness of group assignment. With blinding, outcomes can be attributed to the intervention itself and not influenced by behaviour or assessment of outcomes that can result purely from knowledge of group allocation.
Why incorporate blinding?
Lack of blinding in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) has been shown to be associated with more exaggerated estimated intervention effects, by 9% on average.1 Studies with subjective outcomes are more likely to show these exaggerated estimates.2 In a systematic review of 250 RCTs, researchers observed a significant difference in the size of the estimated treatment effect between trials that reported 'double-blinding' compared with those that did not (p=0.01), with an overall OR 17% larger in studies that did not report blinding.3 In addition, studies are often simply described as 'blind' or 'double-blind' and do not specify who was blinded,4 which means blinding of one …

Specialty Services
Family Medicine is first and foremost a primary care discipline. Family physicians do not exclude patients from care based on organ system, sex, or age. The practice of family medicine has several distinguishing characteristics:
- The family physician provides continuity of care across time and across family generations.
- The family physician provides comprehensive care, dealing with both acute and chronic illnesses, often in the same office visit.
- The family physician provides preventative medical care, for example screening laboratory tests and immunization updates.
- The family physician is a patient advocate, serving to provide the patient with appropriate care and medical services. An important part of this role is helping to interpret the almost overwhelming amount of information available to patients and helping them make intelligent choices for their own care and their family's health.
Family physicians are trained in many areas, including:
- Adult medical care
- Geriatrics
- Pediatric medical care
- Pre-operative assessment
- Psychiatry and behavioral medicine
- Sports medicine and musculoskeletal care
- Women's health care (including prenatal, birth, and after-birth care)
All of our faculty members are skilled and trained in these areas of primary care. In addition, several faculty members have additional training and certification in areas such as:
We also have a very active Global Health program.
The Department of Family and Community Medicine provides primary care to people of all ages, from newborn to geriatric care. Outpatient care is performed at selected Penn State Health Medical Group locations. Our physicians admit to the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the Penn State Children's Hospital, and the Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College. Resident physicians in training provide patient care under the direct supervision of faculty members.

Thanks to increased performance of Advanced Micro Devices' Phenom II central processing units and increased popularity of AMD's chips among performance-minded customers, the importance of launching of high-end AMD components is increasing. OCZ Technology Group, a leading supplier of advanced computer components, this week launched its first DDR3 memory kits designed for AMD Phenom II and future chips.
"AMD's new AM3 architecture is designed specifically for the gaming community, with emphasis on high data transfer rates between the system memory and the graphics subsystem. The key improvement over the AM2 platform is the embracing of DDR3 technology where OCZ has a track record of being a market leader," said said Michael Schuette, vice president of technology development at OCZ.
OCZ's new Gold and Platinum "AMD Edition" memory module kits can operate at 1333MHz or 1600MHz with 1.65V voltage. The memory modules will hardly enable high overclocking potential, unlike OCZ's earlier released premium-class kits aimed at Intel Core i7 platforms, however, they will enable cost-efficient upgrade path for users looking forward AMD AM3 platforms that support only DDR3 memory. In addition, the new modules do not come with significantly boosted power supply voltage, which may positively affect their lifespan.
"These new AMD kits further establish our leading role in this category and show our commitment to both industry partners and the gaming community by complementing AMD's gaming platform with future-oriented, low voltage memory technology," said Mr. Schuette.
Technical specifications of the newly released memory modules are as follows:
- OCZ PC3-10666 (1333MHz) Gold AMD Edition Low Voltage (2x2GB) CL9 9-9-20 @ 1.65v
- OCZ PC3-10666 (1333MHz) Platinum Low Voltage AMD Edition (2x2GB) CL7 7-7-20 @ 1.65v
- OCZ PC3-12800 (1600MHz) Gold AMD Edition Low Voltage (2x2GB) CL8 8-8-24 @ 1.65v
- OCZ PC3-12800 (1600MHz) Platinum AMD Edition Low Voltage (2x2GB) CL7 7-7-24 @ 1.65v

Skip to comments.California's health exchange to serve as voter registration hub
Posted on 05/21/2013 1:16:36 PM PDT by Nachum
Millions of Californians who contact the state's new health exchange to buy insurance will be given the opportunity to register to vote, too, a move that some Republicans fear could benefit Democrats.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen made California the first state to designate its health exchange as a voter registration agency Wednesday, but others are expected to follow suit, said Shannan Velayas, Bowen's spokeswoman.
"This is about making sure that all eligible Californians are offered the chance to register to vote," Velayas said Thursday.
A 1993 federal law requires states to designate their agencies and offices that provide public assistance or disability services as voter registration agencies, Velayas said.
The federal law commonly is known as "motor voter" because it ensured that applicants for drivers' licenses nationwide would be asked if they wanted to register to vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at sacbee.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What if it is designed to evolve into -
If you are not an Obama and ObamaCare peon, you don't get to vote?
This country has become Alice in Wonderland...turned on it's head.
Can we get the NRA and Gun Stores and Shows as Voter Registration sites?
"One great cohort..."
Fee charging tax preparers ought to be recruited into a Voter Registration Drive.
Is there a Military Voter Registration Drive?
(Not that it would matter anyway; we know the 0bamaNazis would destroy the ballots anyway....)
Make sure you put a D after your name. Just saying.
Wait till they set up "satellite offices" in Tijuana and Mexico City.
Of course it will help with voter fraud.
A family member came to my (battleground) state to work for the zero campaign. They made it mandatory that the workers go door to door and got a verbal yes/no if the person was going to vote. My suspicion? The campaign filled out absentee votes (marked for zero) for all those who told the workers they weren't planning on voting.
I think they have a recruiting office in Oaxaca.
Yes! Why should somebody actually have to be physically present on U.S. soil to receive social benefits and be protected by our Constitutional rights. Seriously, this is the next logical step, once we've legitimized criminal immigration. Why force people to actually come here?
What could go wrong? No "D", no healthcare for YOU!
You have just described the ideologue of the community organizer in chief.
With all the reports out there about what a fustercluck of a train wreck this is going to be, Obama may want to think twice about attaching new voter registrations to it.
Yes. This varies from state to state but there are all kinds of political entities (Acorn for one) that go door-to-door and register voters. When I moved to Colorado in 1980 I registered at the grocery store through a League of Women Voters volunteer. The gun stores and gun shows is a great idea. I'm sure there are other venues where conservatives also congregate like NASCAR and local races, shooting ranges, bait and tackle stores.
Yep, if someone registers something other than D will they get lesser quality healthcare or have to wait longer, etc...

"I fly to work and I work to fly. "
Hop Aboard an Alaskan Dogsled in Yellowstone
To witness world-class dogsled racing, you don't have to fly all the way to frigid Fairbanks to watch the Alaska Open North American Championship or stand at the crowded finish of the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous. And you don't have to commit to living in a Jack London novel for days or weeks in the frozen north to experience the pristine winter wilderness behind a team of Alaskan huskies.
During the last 20 years, the traditional circumpolar sport of dogsledding has taken hold in and around Yellowstone, America's oldest national park, in easily reached Wyoming and Montana. You can be an enthusiastic sideline spectator, catching all the excitement of a big-time amateur dogsled race through the spectacular winter scenery of the northern Rockies (see sidebar), while staying in cozy bed-and-breakfasts and luxury resorts. Or you can jump right in and become an active participant, climbing into your very own sled for the day with an experienced musher at the reins.
One of the best outfitters in the region is 43-year-old Jason Matthews, the professional wilderness guide and naturalist whose tour company is called Yellowstone Dog Sled Adventures. Last year, he and his team of seven drivers (most summertime national park rangers, so you're in good hands in the woods) took 2,283 guests dogsledding. They came from all over the U.S. and as far away as Nepal. Most went on Matthews's half-day trips in Montana on trails leading into the piney woods from Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Chico Hot Springs in Paradise Valley or the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman. He also organizes trips into the rugged, stunningly beautiful Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.
Guests arrive at trailheads each morning not quite knowing what to expect. There are family groups and adventure-seekers of all ages. There are no preconceptions. The scene is one of organized chaos, with up to 50 Alaskan huskies in their leather harnesses barking, howling, lunging, leaping and going crazy with excitement. They are animals of boundless energies that the Alaskan Natives and old-timers affectionately call "villagey." Bred for toughness and endurance rather than fluffy looks, they descended from pre-Columbian dogs that crossed over from Siberia in waves of human migration stretching back tens of thousands of years.
"As soon as they start running," Matthews tells me, "the dogs are silent."
The only sounds are the wind, the swooshing noise under the sled runners and the breathing of the dogs. Soon they are miles into the back country with commanding views of a winter wonderland.
"People are blown away," Matthews says. "They can't believe how far the dog teams take them in such a short time and how incredible the scenery and solitude is. I've run raft trips all summer for years and we rarely hear back from anyone when it's over. With dogsledding, people are emailing us that night, thanking us and sharing their photos. It's amazing."

Back problems are fairly common among canines, especially in certain smaller breeds like the Dachshund. There are a number of different diseases and health issues that can cause back pain including weight problems, disc disease, cervical stenosis, bone infection, kidney infections and cancer. If you think your pet may be experiencing back pain, you should visit a veterinarian, who can determine the cause of the pain and the best course of treatment.
The most common cause of canine back pain is disc disease—commonly called a "slipped" or herniated disc—according to WebVet.com. Discs are the cushion between vertebrae bones that prevent them from rubbing together, but over time they can wear out and "slip" out of place. This can lead to nerve inflammation and cause pain for your dog, and the discs near the top and base of the spine are most likely to develop this problem.
Clinical signs of slipped discs can vary depending where the problem is located. WebVet.com states that dogs with lower back problems may present with clinical signs such as arching their backs, being reluctant to move and reacting negatively when you try to touch their backs. They might even have difficulty controlling their bladders. Spinal pain near the neck might cause muscle spasms, stiffness and a wobbly gait.
Whether your dog has slipped a disc or is experiencing back pain for other reasons, you should bring your pet to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. The vet will be able to give your dog shots to help with the pain while determining the best treatment plan.

My comments were written in general terms to what seems to be a prevalent attitude and not aimed specifically at you.If I were addressing you I would have been courteous enough to do so (As you have with me ).
Finally, the hatchet is buried. I've learned over the years that "One of us is not as smart as all of us". One may not agree all of the time, but one always will learn from the experience.Pizza on!
Marco, not long ago, giving rave reviews on a book that taught him how to make pizza:"As a Neapolitan leaving abroad, I was looking for help in recreating the real thing! Then I found this book. The history of the Pizza is full of detailed information and the description of ingredients and methods scientifically precise. A must have book for anyone interested in baking his own pizza or knowing more about this wonderful food." - Marco Parente, in a 5 star review of book "Pizza Napoletana", Amazon UK, Jan 15th, 2004 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1580080855/?tag=pmak-20- aba

About a quarter of the way down, her hair is then starting to curl where it is full and thick. The look is really romantic, and this red head looks fabulous with this hairstyle.For this look, the hair is cut long.The hair is coloured a fire red.
