I am commenting here because I am too lazy to log in at the other site. I wonder, with the advent of more shift-working docs, e.g. residents and hospitalists, that this situation is not ripe for becoming epidemic. It also illustrates my long-held conviction that medicine is a relentless taskmistress (don't ask why I think of her as female, being female myself) - one never gets a break - except, perhaps, that our errors mostly do not kill the patients.ReplyDelete
Um. What about the fact that nothing said bacterial meningitis at first?ReplyDelete
Are saying the previous doctor missed an ear infection which caused the spread of the bacteria to the brain which could have been prevented with antibiotics? All the kid would have had was probably 1 dose of PO antibiotic---would that have prevented a bacterial meningitis?
What I am saying is that the kid probably already *had* meningitis when we saw him. We don't know because neither of us did a good exam. We know a perforated eardrum (not exactly subtle) was missed. Were there meningeal signs? If I'm tired and thinking "face pain" I might not check for nuchal rigidity. Since 12 hours later he already had ALOC, he certainly had early meningitis on presentation.
It's equally likely that he would not have been diagnosed with meningitis even had we done a good exam. He was on steroids, which notoriously can mask disease.
He did get a dose or two of antibiotics, which may account for his complete recovery. The point is that it was a fuck-up, and that we're very lucky he came back. Had he been left home alone, he probably would have been found dead the next morning.
That's a scary case because of it's atypical presentation. But it's an easy mistake to make on your part with the simple assumption that the night doc did his job thoroughly and completely. If you don't make that assumption, you're going to have to spend the first 2 hours of every shift re-hashing everything that your colleagues have done and wasting a bunch of time. Do you think a quick HEENT exam might have caught anything like papiledema or some otitis/exudate? If he perfed an ear drum in 12-16 hours it seems like there might have been something in the otoscopic exam. But what do I know, I'm a second year med student.ReplyDelete
I'm glad everything came out all right with the patient and hope you don't get thrown under the bus for this one.

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/ ... ree-agent/
we should draft a pure center so he can learn behind bogut and lee, and sign Gerald Wallace for defensive set up. just my imo, get the best center outta this yrs draft! big men are hard to find.
Signing GWallace would be the best thing to me, as long as there is salary space for him (which as things are right now, there isn't) and he doesn't want more than 8 million a year for no more than three years. A trade getting rid of DWright for future picks would maybe open up enough salary space to sign GWallace, but that'd have to be done first and early in the offseason to have a good chance of landing him. That would then definately allow for the drafting of the best big available, so that's a very good, though difficult to do and time, direction.
GWallace is a serious defender and that is what makes him so valuable to me. If he was added to the roster right now, that could be championship caliber right there. Blazers didn't have as much talent when they had GWallace, even when Roy and Oden were healthy.
I think Wallace is a pretty do it all kind of player and good wing defender. He is a gamble because he is injury prone and Wallace is searching for a multi year deal. Wallace alone wouldn't make this a championship caliber team, but he can be part of championship piece if more pieces quality impact piece like Wallace are added to this roster. Also a clean bill of health through out the season for Curry and Bogut.

Past Imperfect: The Tournament We ForgotPosted by JWeill on March 18th, 2011
Past Imperfect is a series focusing on the history of the game. Each week, RTC contributor JL Weill (@AgonicaBoss| Email) highlights some piece of historical arcana that may (or may not) be relevant to today's college basketball landscape. This week: the lost, great 1998 NCAA tournament.
The 1998 NCAA tournament is the most exciting, bracket busting, nerve-wracking, well-played tournament in the modern era. And yet, no one seems to remember it. It's sandwiched right there between "Simon says, 'Championship,'" and Khalid El-Amin atop the scorer's table. Can you see it? Look closely, it's there. It's the one with the two weird teams in the Final Four, the North Carolina squad coached by the old guy (no, not Dean Smith, the other old guy) and the first-year black coach at Kentucky. Oh, I know what will help…it's the one where the coach's kid hits that shot. Oh, now you remember.
It's a shame, too, that no one remembers the 1998 tourney in toto. From beginning to end, the tournament was riveting, nip-and-tuck, gut-twisting basketball. And it didn't take long at all to shake things up. On the first day, before many people were probably even aware that games were afoot, an out-of-the-way locale provided fans with some of the tournament's most in-your-face moments, courtesy of a few names fans would become very familiar with over the next decade but who at the time were little known outside of the basketball community. But strange things can happen in Boise.
Ben Howland, then coach of the 15th-seeded Northern Arizona Lumberjacks, had his team on the cusp of history, all even at 62 apiece with Bob Huggins' two-seed Cincinnati with just seconds remaining. Northern Arizona was the nation's best three-point shooting team that year, so it was doubly cruel when Cincinnati's D'Juan Baker buried an open three to win the game with just 3.6 seconds left to save the Bearcats' skin. But Cincinnati's flirtation with late-game disaster would come back to bite them the next round when, this time against West Virginia, Baker again hit a deep three-pointer to give his team the lead and then strutted down the court, only to watch helplessly as Mountaineers guard Jarrod West – yes, Jarrie West — threw up a prayer that was answered with eight tenths of a second left. West's tipped three-pointer hit the backboard and went through the net, turning Baker's sideline strut into a slumped-over disbelief. Live by the buzzer beater, die by the buzzer beater.
Meanwhile, in Sacramento, Tennessee fans got their first glimpse of a coach they'd become all too familiar with in a few years, when Kevin Stallings-coached Illinois State ruined the Volunteers' sunny trip West on a running layup with 1.8 seconds left in overtime. While the Redbirds would get blasted in the second round, that was small consolation for Tennessee fans. Because just a season later, Stallings would take the job at intra-state rival Vanderbilt.
But the action wasn't all left to the Left Coast. Back in D.C., President Bill Clinton wasn't the only one issuing denials. Washington denied Xavier a spot in the second round on a Deon Luton game-winner, while three-seed South Carolina saw B.J. McKie's last-gasp attempt fall short, keeping the Gamecocks on the outside looking in at upset king Richmond moving on. Oh, and for good measure, Indiana needed extra time to top Oklahoma as well. Had enough? Too bad. Because if Thursday seemed like enough excitement for any single round, things were just getting started.
All across the country, the tense moments and close games continued on Friday. In Lexington, a gruff Syracuse senior from Lithuania named Marius Janulis buried not one but two three-pointers to help the Orange squeak by Iona. Then Chicago turned into Boise, with Detroit Mercy upsetting St. John's by two and Western Michigan sending Clemson packing by three. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, UCLA outlasted Miami (Fl.) on four straight free throws in the final seconds. And then, it happened.
It would be a shot for all time. It would be replayed so often it has become an indelible part of the very tournament itself. Like Christian Laettner's turnaround jumper, like Jim Valvano running around looking for someone to hug, the miracle shot by Valparaiso guard, and son of his coach, Bryce Drew was the artistic flourish on a first round of gripping drama. Drew's deep three, coming on a designed play whereby a half-court pass is touch passed to a streaking Drew, was the most memorable moment on a whole tournament's worth of memorable moments.

"Nuts, or other high-quality foods of decent size appear only seasonally above ground in the savanna and such is the case in the Levant, too. But not only are they seasonal, they also require laborious collection and most of them contain phytic acid [phytate] that inhibits the absorption of contained minerals. These foods also contain anti-nutrients and toxins such as trypsin, amylase and protease inhibitors as well as tannins, oxalate, and alkaloids the elimination of which can only be achieved (sometimes only partially) by pre-consumption processing like drying, soaking, sprouting, pounding, roasting, baking, boiling and fermentation."
As I wrote in Powered By Plants: Natural Selection & Human Nutrition:
"Whether any of the so-called anti-nutrients has any harmful effects in humans depends entirely on whether humans have specific metabolic adaptations to these compounds."In Powered By Plants: Natural Selection & Human Nutrition I have a section devoted to one of these "antinutrients": tannins. Animals naturally adapted to plant-based diets produce salivary proline-rich proteins, which neutralize the anti-nutritive effects of tannins. About 70% of the proteins in human saliva consist of proline-rich proteins. Moreover, humans seem to have a 'taste' or preference for tannin-rich foods such as tea, herbs, spices, chocolate, beer, and smoked foods. Thus we have clear evidence that humans have an evolved adaptation to tannins, which negates their claimed antinutrient effects.

At this point, most of us are willing to put our money on Microsoft and Sony announcing their upcoming consoles at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), an annual game industry trade show held in Los Angeles.
With every potential console announcement comes rumors of hardware specs and features. We can't confirm whether these are true, but most of what's leaked or discussed is consistent and falls in line with what a next-generation machine would reasonably be capable of.
Here's some of what VGLeaks says (from a Joystiq report) says about Microsoft's next Xbox system, reportedly codenamed "Durango" and dubbed Xbox 720 by gamers and the press:
- x64 Architecture
- 8 CPU cores running at 1.6GHz
- Each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache
- Each module of four CPU cores has a 2MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4MB of L2 cache
- Each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources
- Each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock
- Custom D3D11.1 class 800 MHz graphics processor
- 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads
Of course, these are just numbers, and it's difficult to say just how it will look when it's rendering a game on a screen. If there's anything to take out of this, it's that the next Xbox will be a powerful machine. However, if this is accurate, it may not be as powerful as the PlayStation 4, based on what we heard last week.
They also mention a "High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor" that "is always present." According to Joystiq's report, this implies some sort of Kinect-like functionality is built into the console. A hard drive and a Blu-ray disc drive are also in this rumored device.
E3 is still five months away, and a lot can happen in the weeks leading up to the conference.

If you're hoping for a Kindle or iPod Touch this holiday season, it pays to think ahead. Which applications will you buy? For $10 you could get a half-dozen new games. But with thousands of choices at the App Store, Amazon and Google Play, how do you know which ones are fun and which are a waste of a dollar? We tried out new apps for 7- to 12-year-olds -- games, puzzles, arts and crafts, and even a few your parents would call educational -- and picked some to entertain you over the holidays. The paid apps are worth every penny, and a few won't cost you a single cent.
Perry the Platypus from Disney's "Phineas and Ferb" has a spinoff of the popular "Where's My Water?" app. Perry, or Agent P, needs to get to his underground base to uncover the latest schemes of evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. But the water that fuels his transport tube has been blocked by gates and lasers that change water to steam or ice. Players have to find a path for the water and try to collect bonus gnomes along the way. The free version has one mission with a dozen levels. Paid versions include four missions with 20 levels each.
Disney. Android, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad: free; ad-free version that includes more levels: 99 cents; Nook: $1.99.
December isn't prime time for nature walks. But if you love bugs, you don't have to wait until spring to see butterflies, cicadas and stink bugs, thanks to this app. Check out a video of two male Japanese beetles fighting over a female or a brown cicada turning into an adult. You can read about insects' life cycles, their colors and patterns and their habits. The app features no games, but there are two types of quizzes to test your knowledge. An observation journal for when the weather cooperates helps you investigate what insects are in your back yard or neighborhood park. You can even upload pictures to your virtual journal. Developer NC Soft, which worked on this app with the National Science Museum in South Korea, promises that more insects are on the way.
NC Soft. iPad only: $3.99.
If you're particular about what you wear and enjoy mixing and matching clothes, Toca Tailor is a good fit for you. Four characters -- a boy, a girl and two animals -- come simply dressed in a shirt and pants. A slide of the finger turns the pants into shorts. A tap changes the style to puffy or cutoffs or a miniskirt. Tap on the box with the thread to change patterns -- and you can pick more than one. (How about shorts that have polka dots on one leg and leopard spots on the other?)
You can also add pockets, buttons and zippers to your colorful creations. Complete your outfit with hats, scarves, shoes and other items from an accessories box. When you're done, click on the mountain symbol to take a picture of your model in whatever setting you choose. Photos will save to your device's camera roll so you can e-mail them to friends.
Toca Boca. iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad. $2.99.
Collaborating, or working together, isn't common among painters. It's hard to imagine Pablo Picasso saying to his friend Henri Matisse, "I'll do the left side of the canvas, and you do the right." But that's the idea of the Half Team app. You can use e-mail to work with a drawing partner far away or use "pass and play" to draw with someone in the same room.
Choose the top or bottom of the drawing space, and then choose your tool and color. You can mix thick and thin lines and change colors. You can also add a label or voice recording. You mark how wide your drawing is, then let your friend take over. He starts with a blank half-sheet, and both of you see the finished product when your friend is done. The results can be very funny: a brown bear with chicken legs or maybe a house with flowers coming out of the roof.
Clustered Apps. iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad: $1.99.
You don't have to be a fan of "The 39 Clues" book series to enjoy jumping into the world of spies and evil plots. You're part of the Cahill family, and the archenemy Vesper is always up to no good. You receive an assignment that will require you to solve puzzles in order to unlock clues about Vesper's latest plot. Is your suspect male or female? Does he always wear a hat? Does she have an interest in knitting? Use the clues to narrow your suspects, and the command center will tell you if you're on the right track. If you guess wrong, the Cahill database may provide a clue or let you send in a backup agent for help. If you find your suspect, you earn a medal and, of course, save the world.
Scholastic. iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad: free.
Which flag is the one with the red maple leaf in the center? If you answered "Canada," then you're up for the challenge of Aliens Abducted. Three aliens -- Moe, Barry and Marvin -- have been taken from their planets and sent to Earth. They need your help to learn which countries are where. Look at the map and match one of three flags to the highlighted country. The clock is ticking, and every wrong answer means one of the aliens gets zapped. (You can use the "library" to review where countries rest on the map, along with each nation's capital and population.) With enough correct answers, you can unlock Escape Mode, where you help Moe defeat evil robots while running along a platform collecting coins. This part requires no mastery of geography; it's just a fun detour.
Bilu Games. iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad: free; add more levels with 99-cent version, which is free for a limited time.
If you're looking for a more challenging kind of word-search puzzle, this app passes the test. In the app's Finder game, you are given a series of clues about the hidden words. (For example, a Pacific Northwest state that has six letters. Did you guess "Oregon"?) Once you think you know the word, look for it on the board. The twist is that words aren't usually in a straight line; to make one word, you might zigzag all around the board. There's a dictionary and a hint button that will reveal a few letters in the puzzle. As many as three people can play at once, and there are "Speed" versions. If Mom and Dad think this is just for kids, have them try the "Challenge" game.
Word Winder. iPad only: free for three games and one bonus level. In-app purchases of 99 cents to $1.99 unlock additional games.

NEW YORK (AP) - Michael Winterbottom promptly announces that he doesn't like making period films. The irony is that he finished shooting one not 24 hours earlier.
The British director completed production the day before on "King of Soho," in which Steve Coogan plays the pornography impresario Paul Raymond from the 1950s through the '90s.
But Winterbottom arrived in New York on Friday for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his "Trisha," an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" that doesn't go the period route. It transfers the Victorian story from 19th-century Dorchester to contemporary Rajasthan and Mumbai, India.
It's neither the first time he's adapted Hardy (1996's "Jude" and 2000's "The Claim") nor his first modernizing of an older work (2006's "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story" and its kind of sequel, last year's "The Trip," which also drew from Laurence Sterne, albeit faintly).
"Trishna," which opens July 13, stars Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire") as a peasant woman swept up by the charismatic son of a rich British businessman (Riz Ahmed).
AP: Why don't you like making period films?
Winterbottom: What I find enjoyable is the relationship between the characters in a story and the environment they live in - the towns, their family, their relationships. All those things are much easier to feel as spontaneous and natural and kind of true, in a way. You take a group of actors and you put them in a real environment, the way they behave is affected by that.
AP: How did you arrive on transplanting "Tess" to India?
Winterbottom: I happened to be working in Rajasthan, India, about eight or nine years ago. It seemed like that kind of society was undergoing a lot of the changes when Hardy was writing "Tess." It felt like it had a lot of close echoes to what I was writing about. It was there, it was real, it was concrete. Whereas, when we did "Jude" and tried to recreate that, the truth is you can't, really. If you show a steam train in a period film - as we did in "Jude" - it just looks like a nice, old-fashioned, picturesque steam train. Whereas for Hardy, steam trains were modern and at the cutting edge of technology.
AP: What is it that draws you to Hardy, whom you've now adapted three times?
Winterbottom: A lot of people in England think of Hardy as a sort of fatalistic writer. To me, Hardy always seemed much more radical, especially in "Tess" and in "Jude," his last two novels. He's describing a society that he pretty much lived in. I think Hardy's great in how he shows the way society and forces like the church or education and class and gender affect individuals. And he doesn't suggest that people are only a product of those forces.
AP: "Trishna" has a natural, almost documentary-like feel. Was it difficult to get that in the realm of a Bollywood film culture accustomed to more artificial filmmaking?
Winterbottom: We took Freida and inserted her into the local environment. The family that she's in - the mum and the dad are actually from Mumbai - but the rest of the family is a family of a driver. That's his family and his house and the children go to the school that his children go to. We really inserted our characters into a kind of real environment rather than using a lot of actors from Bollywood. It was the same in Mumbai. The film director is a film director, the dancers are dancers. In a way, everyone in the film was a version of themselves.
AP: Was it easier to get a grasp of Indian culture and life by using nonprofessional actors?
Winterbottom: Exactly. We were observing how they behave rather than telling them how to behave. The way I like to work is very observational.

On Nov. 5, officials of the Holy See released an official preparatory document for the October 2014 Extraordinary Synod of Bishops, which has as its theme "the pastoral challenges of the family in the context of evangelization."
The preparatory document establishes many of the key topics for deliberations by the bishops, including "The Church and the Gospel on the Family"; "The Plan of God, Creator and Redeemer"; and "The Church's Teaching on the Family." The attention of the media, however, was understandably more focused on the last part of the document — a questionnaire on the main challenges facing the family today.
Media misrepresentation
Below are several questions excerpted from the Vatican's preparatory document. Each bishops' conference was given a copy along with a request to turn in an assessment of these questions by January 2014. We invite you to offer your own answers to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will print selected responses in an upcoming issue.
Some media outlets presented the 39 questions as a way for the Vatican to poll Catholics on whether the Church should change its teachings on divorce and remarriage, cohabitation, same-sex marriage, abortion and contraception. Such unfounded speculation was dismissed immediately by the Vatican, but it also demonstrated a failure on the part of many reporters and commentators to read the actual questions.
The questionnaire seeks to assess the current levels of knowledge and acceptance of the Church's teachings on marriage and the family and various cultural obstacles to their adherence. The questions are intended to allow "the particular Churches to participate actively in the preparation of the Extraordinary Synod, whose purpose is to proclaim the Gospel in the context of the pastoral challenges facing the family today."
The questions are divided into several pastoral categories, such as "The Diffusion of the Teachings on the Family in Sacred Scripture and the Church's Magisterium"; "Marriage according to the Natural Law"; "Pastoral Care in Certain Difficult Marital Situations"; "On Unions of Persons of the Same Sex"; and "The Openness of the Married Couple to Life." A final section asks about other challenges and proposals that should be discussed.
Better understanding
Catholics are not asked whether the Church should change its teachings. For example, on the issue of couples being open to life, the questions ask, "What knowledge do Christians have today of the teachings of Humanae Vitae ("On Human Life") on responsible parenthood? Are they aware of how morally to evaluate the different methods of family planning? Could any insights be suggested in this regard pastorally?" The follow-up asks, "Is this moral teaching accepted? What aspects pose the most difficulties in a large majority of couple's accepting this teaching?"
Sending out questions in preparation for an upcoming synod is also hardly unprecedented. In the lead up to the 2012 Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization, 30 questions were distributed to the world's bishops on all phases of evangelization in the modern world.
Cardinal Peter Erdö, the archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest in Hungary, who was appointed by Pope Francis in September as the relator of the upcoming synod, stressed at a Nov. 5 press conference that the questions seek simply to provide a better understanding of current levels of knowledge and attitudes as the bishops do their work.
There is no plan, he declared, to make decisions based on public opinion. "Certainly the doctrine of the magisterium must be the basis of the common reasoning of the synod," Cardinal Erdö said.
Submitting results
The Hungarian cardinal will help guide the synod in its deliberations, working closely with the synod's new general secretary, Archbishop Lorenzo Baldisseri, who was appointed last month. They noted that the questionnaire would be distributed to the world's episcopal conferences, which will then be free to disseminate them as they see fit, including distributing them to parishes. Individual Catholics are also encouraged to respond on their own and send the questionnaire to the Vatican, if they wish.
The episcopal conferences are expected to organize the collected data from individual dioceses and archdioceses and present summaries to the Synod Secretariat, the commission in charge of the preparations for the synod. The secretariat will then incorporate the results in the working document, called the Instrumentum Laboris, for the synod itself. The bishop's conferences were asked to submit their summaries to the General Secretariat by the end of January 2014.

As the winter descends slowly on the northeast our thoughts turn towards our avian friends flying south. One of the few places that privileges these fellows here in the New York Harbor is Shooters Island, the most beautiful briny mud flat in the world, and one of the many uninhabited islands dotting the harbor.
[Shooters Island sits just off Staten Island's North Shore in the Kill Van Kull; the major shipping channel to Bayonne is just to the north; Shooters Island was nearly blown up in the 1960's to ease navigation in the Kill]
Shooters Island is administered by the New York City Parks Department and closed to the public, and that is all the more reason you should consider sneaking a boat into the South Shooters Island Reach of the Kill Van Kull and paddling through the petrochemicals over to the island. The history of the place is immediately palpable, but just to render what you already perceive, we'll note for you a brief synopsis:
The island was little more than a hideout and hunting reserve in colonial times and remained undeveloped until the 1860's when the first small shipyard was established here. During the early 20th century the North Shore of Staten Island became one of the biggest shipbuilding centers in the world. The Townsend-Downey Shipbuilding Company began operating here, manufacturing world famous vessels for the rich and famous; in 1902, the island produced a luxurious yacht for the Kaiser Willhelm II of Prussia. And then twelve years later it started cranking out gleaming war machines that would eventually rend asunder the good emperor's navy.
["Yes, yes, your yacht is right this way Mr. Kaiser. NO! Please, emperor, you can't look at the warship we are building behind that curtain."]
The need for fill to enable the expanding shipbuilding operation made Shooter's Island a convenient dumping ground for the dredge material from the adjacent Kill Van Kull and the island swelled beyond its primary bulkhead. Not long after the end of WWII, shipbuilding on the Island was done and it was abandoned, left to soak in the petrochemicals and sewage overflows from surrounding industry and neighborhoods for the next 60 years and now the ever larger dredging operations are slowly eating away at the island.
[the USS Muscatine being fitted out at Shooters Island; it was a 4430 gross ton refrigerated cargo ship (with 10,562 tons of displacement) used by the Navy as part of the logistical supply line during WW1]
In researching this (we obviously use the term "researching" loosely), we came across some interesting web chatter: a number of Staten Islanders seemed to remember an old woman who lived on the island for years, rowing herself to shore a couple of times a week for supplies and to wander flaneur-like up and down the heinous streets of Staten Island. In recent years, the city of Bayonne, New Jersey has tried to sell its portion of Shooters Island, ostensibly to "close a budget gap". This may or may not be part of some new hard line conservative fiscal initiative, but regardless, whenever you stand to make a few thousand dollars by selling off a priceless ecological sanctuary that happens to embody some of the greatest story lines of your industrial past, you've got to do it.
[the NOAA navigational charts show the bathymetry of the channels swirling around Shooters Island. The South Shooters Island Reach is a minor channel and is not maintained by the same Army Corps contracts as the channel to the north]
We here at FASLANYC are in awe of the lovely, dangerous, polluted island. The juxtaposition of petrochemical industries and bird sanctuaries, an old boat graveyard and massive modern tankers, shipbuilding histories and hearty, homeless old ladies, all perfectly embodied by that sharp line bisecting the island, demarcating the tidal mud flat from the marshy island- it seems perfect, and makes us want to pan around and around in Bing (of course, we would never go to the island- we prefer to conjure landscape experience through the glowing screen). We wonder what ever became of the idea floated out in this NY Times piece from the 1990's, and whether anyone else has any designs on the drawing board for what the island might be. At the very least, it should be the subject of a most excellent treasure map: a carefully curated and choreographed journey aboard the Staten Island Ferry, down Richmond Terrace, through the numerous bands of chain link fence, careful to circumvent the combined sewer outfalls, ending with a straight shot across the South Shooters Island Reach of the Kill Van Kull.
[if you want to see me, make your way to Shooters Island; and even if you don't care for birds, it's still an amazing place]
At any rate, the great migratory birds that love the island are heading south for the winter, and we are too. We still hope to get up some content occasionally, but things are likely to be a little slow until February rolls around and the first thaw begins to show up. Hopefully we will be able to chime in with new developments, report a bit from down south, and we promise to trot out some new themes, interviews, and to bring you the most lackadaisical reporting around.
[Faslanyc, H. Willis Montcrief, and DRDLM- the turkey buzzard flock of the nerdy landscape blog world- prepare to head south for the winter. Or is it west? Do they have any idea of the direction they're headed?]

2007-01-17 / Columnists
Pets, Pets, Pets
Too bad there isn't a sign that warns: BEWARE of Dog Rescuers- Dangerous and Deceptive. The bleeding hearts and the phonies are out there, biting the unsuspecting. They prey on town shelters and trample the name of reputable humane groups. Worst of alltheir tactics undermine the efforts of those really trying so hard to place shelter dogs in a responsible way.
First there are the animal hoarders. Their "rescues" suffer in confinement and filth, often a fate worse than the life they had before. The collector syndrome is a complex psychological disorder. Some hoarders start well-intentioned, but lose the ability to part with their waifs. Others bask in the glory of their "saves", and refuse to let anyone into their homes to see the real horror. Even if prosecuted, they are adept at moving to new locations and latching onto legitimate groups. (While editing this, I got a call to help place an Afghan used for breeding taken from a Pennsylvania hoarder with 145 dogs.) We all must be vigilant of the red flags, and inspect where our animals in transit go- be it to the fictional farm upstate or that lady too eager to take every elderly Chihuahua, sight unseen.
Next are those who misrepresent humane groups. They may falsely assure the town shelters that they have been authorized to rescue certain dogs, perhaps with aggression or serious ailments, that the group has no intention of taking. They reach out further away when the groups cut ties with them.
Last spring when placing my foster German Shorthaired Pointer via Petfinder, I corresponded several weeks with an out-of-state film maker who kept saying he'd come see my dog. For some reason (red flag), he kept stalling when I asked for vet references. He'd talk about how he helped breed rescue and how he'd assimilate her into his pack. The man dropped the right names, even said that he made a documentary for a famous veterinarian. It wasn't until I ran his name by his local Pointer Rescue that I learned of the havoc he caused and the poor Pointers he'd adopt and abandon.
Watch out for the yellow, sky blue pink journalism in print and online, scribbled by those who have never set foot in a town shelter- those who don't check facts, don't research, but instead distort what credible sources tell them. They send out Internet false alarms about imminent mass executions in pounds. They start petitions bashing shelters based on the testimony of those who never met the dog that sparked the controversy. Unfortunately, many caring animal lovers still believe everything they read. They jump on the bandwagon and the rumor takes on a life of its own. In the hysteria, the image of every shelter worker and shelter dog suffers.
Yes, many disturbing things happen in municipal shelters, but there is a vast difference between private rescues that can be choosy about dog intake and placement, and government animal control facilities that must keep an open door to all dogs and potential adopters. Educating the public and approaching officials in a professional way are the keys to positive change.
Then there are a few phony philanthropists who exploit innocent shelter dogs. They brag that they pay the bills on their "personal rescues" and advertise that they make substantial donations to animal charities, if gullible customers use their business, when in reality; they have never contributed this way at all.
The humaniacs are the most frightening because while pushing so hard and breaking the rules, they destroy the mission of their organization to rehome dogs permanently. Shelter dogs are second hand pets, many with issues or imperfections, often with unknown histories, so their caretakers can't be shady used car salesmen. Living beings' health and behavior can never be guaranteed. We are obligated to disclose all we do know- estimated age without shaving off a decade, medical condition- the old Collie had a cancerous growth removed that is likely to reoccur, and temperament- this Lab is too mouthy and hyper for young families. We can't lie to fellow volunteers or expunge bad behavior from the record as if the returned dog were a juvenile delinquent starting with a clean slate.
Screening for homes requires experience, astute judgment, some intuition, and lots of common sense. We all should learn from our errors. There should be checks and balances in each organization's procedures and consideration for the feelings of the families left waiting. We cannot disregard recommendations of the professionals hired to evaluate and train our dogs. If a respected behaviorist says that certain dogs should not be placed with kids under 12, so be it.
Private rescues, unlike pounds, have the luxury of time to make appropriate pet/owner matches. Quality rather than quantity should be the placement priority. Adoption coordinators must be more like honest marriage brokers, finding the right someone to take the dog for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, as long as they both shall live. Without ethics, we hurt the public and the very dogs, that some of us only profess to love.
+The poster pets at Babylon Town Shelter (643- 9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon are a study in black & white this week. "Panda", a neut. mix in Cage 47 looks more like the Chinese national treasure than any AKC breed. He seems very sociable with people, indifferent to cats, but does not like other dogs. "Bosco", (#18483) the 5 mon. polydactyl longhaired tuxedo kitten is quite out going and has been agreeable when used to "cat test" the dogs. See more poses of these fellows and others on the shelter's Petfinder site.
+Males: "Buster" the 2 yr. Basset in Cage 43; "Bullet"- the red Siberian Husky in Cage 7.
+Females: "Bosco's" calico sister- look closely to see her in the photo; the older mini Schnauzer.

Four inspiring women have left us in the space of the past week.
Diana Wynne Jones, acclaimed British fantasy author, lost her life on Saturday at 76.
Ms. Jones's work is critically acclaimed. Several of her novels have been nominated or shortlisted for awards, including the Carnegie Medal, Mythopoeic Fantasy, British Fantasy Award, Boston Globe-Horn Book, and World Fantasy Award.
Jean Jennings Bartik, one of the ENIAC technicians, died on Wednesday at 86.
Bartik graduated from Northwest Missouri State Teachers College in 1945 as the school's one math major. She recalled living on her parents' farm, refusing the teaching jobs her father suggested and avoiding all talk of marrying a farmer and having babies. Instead, she took a train to Philadelphia to work for the military.
There, she learned ballistics calculations and was quickly hired to work on the ENIAC, created during the war by University of Pennsylvania scientists John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert Jr.
Bartik and her colleagues debugged the computer, which weighed 30 tons, contained about 18,000 vacuum tubes and completed the same work the women "computers" did but in a fraction of the time.
Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run on the national ticket of a major (US political) party, passed away on Saturday at 75*.
64 years after women won the right to vote, a woman had removed the "men only" sign from the White House door.
It would be another 24 years before another woman from a major party was nominated for vice president — Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the Republican running mate of Senator John McCain, in 2008.
Elizabeth Taylor, actress and advocate for gay rights, took her final curtain call on Wednesday at 79, outliving the author of her obituary and turning up to her own funeral 15 minutes late, by request.
"I did not become an activist to win awards," she said in accepting a GLAAD award in 2000. "I became an activist to try to protect people. I could not sit silently by just doing nothing. I started my activism in the 80s when a new disease emerged that was quickly and inexplicably killing people."
"Worse than the virus there was the terrible discrimination and prejudice left in its wake. Suddenly gay people stopped being human beings and started becoming the enemy. I knew that somebody had to do something."
"All my life I've spent a lot of time with gay men – Montgomery Clift, Jimmy Dean, Rock Hudson," she added. "I never thought about who they slept with. They were just the people I loved."
"I could never understand why they couldn't be afforded the same rights and protections as all of the rest of us. There is no gay agenda. It's a human agenda."
Rest in peace, and thank you.
* See Shakesville for additional commentary on Ferraro's passing.

From time to time, some of the attendees of the writing classes I facilitate allow me to post their memories to share with all of you. This is one of those. Thank you Lee.
To appreciate this experience to the fullest, you must imagine our house in a suburban neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. Nice big lots, manicured lawns, children playing on the streets, and a Mormon Church around the corner and down two blocks. This peaceful looking setting typifying what most folks thought of as pure Americana, was anything but. We were smack dab in the middle of the most dedicated followers of the John Birch Society. In a Mormon neighborhood, all social activities are centered on the church and its various auxiliaries. When you have a bishop who has strong political leanings and presides over a congregation of about 500 people, you will have a neighborhood that is usually in line with what is being preached at the local church.
I was already on the list of people to watch as I had supported the reelection of the Democratic Governor with a poster in my front window. That caused my yard to be toilet papered and have trashcans emptied on the front lawn on a regular basis during the previous election season.
It was during the summer of 1969 I received a phone call from my sister Judy to tell me that she and husband Tim would be coming to Utah for a few days to visit. They were going to come by bus because they were stopping along the way to visit the small towns and didn't know exactly when they would arrive. They were finding the sights in Southern Utah interesting. Since Judy and Tim never traveled without best friend Bill, I was wondering where would I put three guests when Judy informed me that they were camping along the way and would I have room for their tents in our yard? I told her not to worry as we had a big yard surrounded on two sides by a cinder block wall, and we were on the corner.
Two days later, mid afternoon on a lovely summer day, Mark (my son, not the apostle) came running into the house and said, "Mom you better come and see this, I think it's Aunt Judy." Remember, this is 1969, in the full flush of hippi-itus, tie dye, love beads, flowers in her hair etc….
I walked out to the front yard and coming up the middle of the street was a small parade, and it looked like Jesus, Joseph, and Cher leading, followed by most of the young children in the neighborhood.
Following the parade was a sheriff's car.
We were about four blocks from the nearest bus stop, and it looked as though they had gathered all the children in a parade. In a Mormon neighborhood, that can be a whole lot of kids.
I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I laughed until I cried!
If you have ever been in a Mormon Chapel you will see a picture of Jesus. Their version has long slightly curling hair sun streaked light brown, a well-trimmed beard, and piercing blue eyes which is interesting when you think about the fact that Jesus was a Sephardic Jew and would be rather dark. Tim could have been the model for the picture, and today he is wearing a long flowing thing that looked like a robe and sandals.
Bill, with his slightly receding widow's peak, and trimmed goatee, was a dead ringer for the Mormon profit Joseph Smith. Where he found his frock coat would remain a mystery
Then we have sister Judy, about 5'7', a size 5 and long dark hair parted in the middle, looking like Cher before Cher met her plastic surgeon. She was wearing a tie died, long drapey thing, bell-bottoms, and sandals. A whole lot of beads and a flower behind her ear completed her look of the day.
As they turned into our driveway all those nice little kids, who looked like the rats following the Pied Piper immediately stopped at the edge of our lawn. This was the house of the Democrat and we can't go any further, we could catch something. They just stood there looking toward the house.
Our visitors dumped tents and backpacks in the back yard, we all went into the house, and after they were settled with cold drinks, we noticed the kids in the neighborhood began to disperse I told Judy I was surprised they arrived here so soon. I assumed they would be stopping in the little towns along the way. Cher, in a very serious manner informed me "those fucking bigots just don't get what make love not war is all about. Seeing that they didn't appreciate our life style we decided not to grace them with our presence."
Now why did that not surprise me? I could have warned them but this was a lot more fun. There are some things in life that are either so funny or outrageous that you just never forget them. I was soon to learn that I would have a whole week I would never forget.
The dinner hour was approaching and while I prepared for a cook out, they set up their tents, took showers, and got ready to settle in for a week. Since they didn't spend any time exploring the little towns, they could spend more time with us because they didn't have to be in Colorado for 10 days. Yippee! Did I want to know what they were going to do in Colorado? It was business, Jesus informed me, a pot grower's convention. I picked my jaw off the floor and thought how could they say these things with a straight face?
I requested that they not tell anyone in the neighborhood if asked and most of all, my husband Val. Val and I already had many a discussion about my family and friends, and he was convinced that my sole purpose in life was to embarrass him.
For the next week Val managed to leave early and come home late; business called. I asked Judy if Mom and Dad knew where she was. "Oh yeah, she was happy I was coming to see you, but when I told her we would probably hitchhike and camp along the way, they had a fit. She was crying and carrying on, so I promised we would take the bus. I don't know what their problem is." Yep, that was our flower child.
Then the fun began the next morning. I was making coffee in the kitchen when I heard "Maaa-um the hippies are up." I knew it wasn't one of my kids so I peaked out the back door to discover at least five kids sitting on top of the block wall and one was the designated spy and reporter to the busy body next door. Of course that just inspired the hippies. They started out the morning by sitting at the table in the yard and rolling their early morning joint. "Maaa-um, they're rolling cigarettes, maaa-um, they're smoking." "Maaa-um, the one that looks like Jesus is making out with Cher!"
Oh boy this is going to be a long week.
As soon we finished breakfast, I packed a picnic lunch and loaded Jesus, Joseph, and Cher along with my children in the station wagon and off we went. I figured they would like to visit the forests in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I found a campground and let them hike through the woods. Is it asking too much Lord to let them get lost for a couple of days? They're hippies, they could live off the land, and it was fairly warm. I guess He thought it was too much to ask as they returned in time for our picnic.
We arrived home after dark, and I was hoping that the neighborhood excitement had worn off, but there she was, the spy sitting on the wall waiting for the hippies. I told her to get down from the wall or I would call the police. She slowly climbed down while yelling, "Maaa-um, she's gonna call the cops!"
The next morning there were several kids sitting on the wall, and they politely informed Cher that they were sitting on their side of the wall, so there!
I packed us all up again and headed up Parley's Canyon so they could see where the pioneers first saw the Salt Lake Valley. We then headed up to Park City, which at the time was still a little mining town with little wooden houses clinging to the sides of the hills. We wandered around until most of the day was gone, getting back to the house after dark seemed the best solution to avoid the spies.
The next day Judy and I went grocery shopping. I convinced Jesus and Joseph to stay and guard the tents and watch my kids. We made it through the market with only a few turned heads and whispers.
When we arrived home we prepared a lunch and took off up Little Cottonwood Canyon. They loved being out in nature, and I loved leaving them out in nature. We spread around a lotta love. We returned home a little before sunset and sure enough a whole group of kids were sitting on the wall, waiting to watch and report.
The next day we went to the Great Salt Lake, and drove around parts of the city I thought they would enjoy seeing. Keeping them out of the yard until sunset was an all day job!
I couldn't put it off any longer, the next day we would go downtown to Temple Square.
I suggested to Judy that maybe they should consider dressing up a bit as we would be going to the visitors' center and they would be required to wear shoes, shirts, etc.
When they appeared, Tim had on a cleaner robe thingy, Bill had a clean tie-dye under his frock coat and Judy had on some bell-bottoms that she had decorated herself and a bunch of new beads. They were ready so off we went.
Temple Square is the heart of Salt Lake City. It is at least two city blocks square, and the blocks in SLC are about twice as long anywhere else and very wide. Brigham Young had a four oxen, and it had to be able to turn in a full circle from the middle of the road. The Temple Square area downtown is quite lovely with big old trees; there were park benches, a statue of Joseph Smith, the tabernacle the temple and in the corner, a one room pioneer hut that had been original to the site.
The big three were completely blown away when they saw the statue of Joseph Smith. He looked just like Bill, frock coat and all! They were not the only ones who were impressed. In a matter of minutes there was a line of tourists who wanted a picture of Bill with Joseph. Then Jesus and Joseph Oh, this just kept getting better. In the meantime I lost track of Cher. I walked over to the pioneer hut, and there was Cher twirling around on the dirt floor. When she saw me she cried, "Isn't this just fabulous?" I confess I could not see anything fabulous about living in a hut about 12'x 12' with a dirt floor and no windows. She twirled herself against the wall and started laughing. "No I don't mean the hut; I mean all those people who think those two out there look like Jesus and Joseph!"
"I love camping but this hut is too much, those pioneers must have been nuts!" We both laughed until someone came to the door and two little old ladies were remarking that it was just uncanny how much those two looked like Jesus and Joseph. One said, "Do you think they are really Mormons?" To which Judy replied, "Those two guys out there? Nah they just look like hippies to me"
What a day! I don't know if word ever reached any church authorities that Jesus and Joseph visited Temple Square that day. They surely missed an experience. It took about another hour to get J & J away from their admirers and cameras. We walked through downtown and toured some more of the historical sites. People stared but no one stopped and asked for a photo op, and I think the guys were a little disappointed. Their 15 minutes of fame lasted at least two hours; that is more than most people get.
It seems that not being able to roll weed and smoke at will was putting a damper on their time in Salt Lake City. When we arrived home they organized so that they could leave first thing in the morning. We had one last cook out in the yard with a few kids sitting on the wall, and I could see the wheels turning in Judy's head. I warned her, "What ever you are thinking of doing, don't! I have to live here after you are gone."
I have thought about that time and some of the things that Judy and I did a few years later when she and son Joey moved to Salt Lake City. No matter that she was older; she was still a hippie in her heart. She was kind, generous and funny, and I miss her every day. She died at 35, and I can still hear her say, "I just know I will not ever be an old person so I need to do everything while I can." She did.

In the depth of winter, the sun shines about four hours a day here. But thousands of Icelanders – more than 1 percent of the entire country – have sacrificed much of their precious few hours of daylight in recent weeks to protest the financial darkness that now shrouds their island.
From dapper senior citizens to masked anarchists, an eclectic group gathers every Saturday to demand the resignation of their government. On Tuesday and Wednesday, they clashed with police in increasingly violent demonstrations that suspended Parliament.
They're furious over Iceland's recent plunge from the world's fourth richest nation – and the best in the world to live in, according to the United Nations – to global financial crisis roadkill. Its banks are ruined, the currency devastated, and one of the country's closest allies recently named it a terrorist state.
"This has been very hard for the nation," says protester Rosa Eyvindardottir, eight months pregnant and carrying a red socialist flag in her hand during a recent Saturday protest. "Maybe this is a lesson that we need to wake up and see what's been right and wrong with our minds."
Harbinger of trouble?
As the world holds its collective breath, worried that a global recession will become another Great Depression, Iceland is being seen as the canary in the coal mine, an early warning system that might indicate what other countries could face. With the dust beginning to settle from the banking system's collapse, Icelanders are taking stock of the mistakes.
"The banks were expanding too fast, they were taking excessive risks, and the government didn't do what had to be done to keep them in check," says Gunnar Haraldsson, director of the University of Iceland's Institute of Economic Studies.
Iceland's banks were relatively new players on the international stage. Indeed, they were based in a remote, sub-Arctic country that had spent much of its history in a state of grinding poverty. Constrained by a short growing season, battered by storms and volcanic eruptions, Icelanders were one of the poorest peoples in Europe when they achieved independence from Denmark in 1944. Their national dishes – singed puffin, putrefied shark carcass, charred lamb's head – reflect past necessity to avoid starvation.
After World War II, Icelanders harnessed the fish in the frigid sea and the lava-heated steam beneath their feet, investing the proceeds in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. By 2000, it was a society nearly devoid of poverty, where almost everyone is fluent in a foreign language, where homes and even the capital's streets are heated with geothermal heat. Health care and education are virtually cost-free.
Iceland went global
In recent years, Iceland embraced the world economy, integrating with (but not joining) the European Union, floating its tiny currency on the open market, and, in late 2002, deregulating its sleepy banks. The banks rapidly expanded overseas, buying English soccer clubs, offering high-interest Internet savings accounts to Dutch and British families, and foreign-currency mortgages to Icelanders.
"The whole world was suddenly open to us and this new generation of young people had taken over the banks and they looked like they had the know-how to deal with this new reality," says the Rev. Karl Sigurbjornsson, bishop of Iceland's state-sponsored Lutheran church. "Ordinary people like myself couldn't understand what was really happening and when we asked questions we were told that we were just ignorant of the great new world of the free market."
Halla Tomasdottir, a former head of the national chamber of commerce and cofounder of Audur Capital, says the economy was defined by "extreme risk-taking, short-term orientation, paper profits, and a lack of regard for transparency and the human being.... We looked around and said: This is going to burst."
By 2006, many worried that the banks had become too big and globalized for an economy of 300,000 people to backstop. The balance sheets of the three big banks – Glitnir, Landsbanki, and Kaupthing – exceeded Iceland's gross domestic product (GDP) by more than five times. A report from Copenhagen-based Danske Bank warned that the banks had outgrown the country.
"The Icelandic banks, media, and officialdom saw the report as part of a conspiracy by representatives of the old colonial power," recalls the report's coauthor, Lars Christensen, who says the crisis could have been headed off if the banks had been reined in at that point.
"We were worried, but it's difficult when you are in a competitive environment to take responsibility for macroeconomic solutions," says Landsbanki chief economist Yngvi Orn Kristinsson. "Somebody else has to do that: the Central Bank."
Bank controls were weak
But, the Central Bank and government regulators didn't rein in the banks. By October, their liabilities had reached twelve times Iceland's GDP. The banks had borrowed heavily to make these investments and were dependent on short-term loans to continue operations. When Lehman Brothers collapsed and global credit markets froze in September, the banks had nowhere to turn for help.
At the end of September, Glitnir executives turned to the Central Bank for a bridge loan. Instead, Central Bank chief David Oddsson – a former prime minister with no banking background – announced he would nationalize the bank.
Mr. Kristinsson, of Landsbanki, recalls: "We knew immediately that we wouldn't have more than one or two weeks. It was a dangerous miscalculation, because analysts and credit institutions abroad believed that it was too much for the government to take on."
Ratings agencies downgraded the value of Icelandic bonds, dragging down the currency, and cutting Landsbanki's credit lines, triggering its failure. Mr. Oddsson then suggested that Icelandic banks might not pay British depositors, prompting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to evoke antiterrorism laws to seize their British assets – a move that took down Kaupthing.
Icelanders were shocked to see Landsbanki listed alongside Al Qaeda and North Korea on Britain's list of sanctioned "regimes."
"We conceived of ourselves as a very peaceful, peace-loving people," Bishop Sigurbjornsson says. "Being labeled as terrorists was something we could never have imagined."
Most British and Dutch deposits will be guaranteed, largely by Iceland's citizens using money borrowed from abroad. Many here are upset that they are left paying an enormous tab run up by wealthy bankers. Some economists compare the debt burden to the crushing one imposed on Germany after World War I.
Protesters want new leaders
The protesters' main demand is for Oddsson and his longtime political ally, Prime Minister Geir Haarde to resign, which organizers say is the first step toward rebuilding public and investor confidence. Both have resisted.
"They want to be able to lead the nation out of the mess," Mr. Haarde's spokesman, Kristjan Kristjansson explains. "Walking away from the problem now would be to surrender to it."

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - The stage is now set for this weekend's ceremony as Plymouth State University inducts the newest class into its Athletic Hall of Fame.
The 19th class of the PSU Athletic Hall of Fame, and the first since the school changed its name from PSC to PSU, will be enshrined at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet this Sunday, Oct. 5, at Prospect Hall on the PSU campus. This year's group will increase the total numbers in the Hall to 92 individuals and six teams.
The new inductees will be Paul Andrew ('96), a former Panther men's soccer standout and two-time Academic All-American; Diane Cote-Burk ('78), a former Plymouth State gymnastics star who remains involved in the sport as a teacher/coach and elite-level judge; Bill Flynn ('80), a former Panther football player, and one of the stalwarts in the early years of the program; Kristen Hodsdon-Morissette ('94), a former captain and all-star of both the PSC women's basketball and softball teams; Carl McAllister ('67), a former scoring and rebounding leader on the successful men's basketball teams of the 1960s; and Mike Moffett ('78), a former men's basketball rebounding record-holder who went on to become the school's Sports Information Director.
"We are delighted in announcing the six new members of our Hall of Fame," said Hall of Fame Committee Chairman Peter Cofran (PSC '74). "We have many deserving candidates, so to rise above the rest and earn induction is an extremely high honor. Each of this year's inductees has been selected because of his or her outstanding contributions to our institution."
The inaugural Plymouth State Athletic Hall of Fame class was inducted in 1985. This year's activities begin with a reception at 12:00 p.m. on Oct. 5th, followed at 1:00 p.m. with a banquet and the induction ceremony. For tickets or more information, call Peter Cofran at 603-535-2772.
A nomination form open to the public is available on the PSU Athletics and Sports Information website at athletics.plymouth.edu.
A brief profile on each of the 2003 inductees follows.
PAUL ANDREW ('96): A two-time All-New England midfielder in the mid 1990s, Andrew helped re-establish the Panther men's soccer program as one of the best around under head coach Shawn Griffin. Andrew served as captain for three seasons, helping the team to a four-year record of 44-24-3. He epitomized the term 'student-athlete,' earning Academic All-America honors as a junior and a senior and graduating with a 3.97 grade point average in political science.
A native of Paisley, Scotland, Andrew made an immediate impact on the soccer team as a freshman, earning the Little East Conference Rookie of the Year Award in 1992. He was selected LEC Player of the Year and All-New England the next two seasons after helping the team to consecutive conference championships. Despite missing the first half of his senior season with an injury, Andrew was named All-LEC for the third straight year and was selected to the New England Senior All-Star game. He finished his career with the school assist record (34), and his single-season mark of 18 assists in 1993 stood as the standard until 1997.
After a 6-8-2 record as a freshman in 1992, Andrew helped the Panthers to a combined record of 38-16-1 from 1993-95, including three straight post-season berths (ECAC Tournament in '93 and '94, NCAA Tourney in '95). He was also active off the soccer field, being voted to the prestigious Academic All-America team in 1995 and 1996. He served a two-year Fellowship in the Sports Information Office, and was Sports Editor and Political Columnist of the student newspaper. Andrew received the Paul Arold Memorial Award in 1996 as PSC's top student-athlete.
DIANE COTE-BURK ('78): One of the top gymnasts in Plymouth State history, Cote-Burk has continued her involvement in the sport as a teacher, coach and judge at the elite level. She is the co-owner of the Granite State Gymnastic Center in Bow, N.H., and has been a member of the NHIAA Gymnastic Committee since 1980.
Cote-Burk was a member of the PSC varsity gymnastics team from 1974-78, serving as team captain her senior year. She holds six school records, including individual marks on the uneven bars (7.3), balance beam (7.05) and floor exercise (7.45) as well as team marks in vaulting (28.75), beam (23.25) and floor (26.15). (Plymouth State discontinued its gymnastics program in 1979.)
In addition to running the Granite State Gymnastic Center since 1978, Cote-Burk has been an esteemed judge for a quarter century. She received a Class 1 rating in 1980, and has judged at such events as Eastern Regional Championships in Orlando, Fla. (2002) and Cleveland, Ohio (2000), and the NCAA Regional Championships in Gainesville, Fla. in 1996. Cote-Burk has been the USA Gymnastics State Chairperson since 1996, and was the State Judging Director from 1984-92. She has spent the past five years as assistant gymnastic coach at Bow High School, and has received several honors for her contributions to the sport of gymnastics, including the John R. Clark Official of the Year Award in 2000-01 from the Union Leader/NH Sunday News.
BILL FLYNN ('80): The star running back on Plymouth State's football teams of the late 1970s, Flynn was the first Panther player to make regional headlines for success on the gridiron. Playing in a football program that was less than 10 years old, Flynn earned recognition from the New England Sports Writers and the ECAC for his prowess in the Panther backfield.
Although many statistics from the 1970s weren't kept, Flynn starred at running back at PSC for four years and was captain of the team as a senior in 1979. He made headlines on several occasions in '79, receiving the prestigious Gold Helmet Award from the Boston Globe and earning weekly honors from the ECAC several times. He was selected the team's Most Valuable Player Award after becoming the first player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. His mark of 1,068 yards and 10 touchdowns in 1979 still ranks seventh on the school's single-season rushing list.
Flynn played his final two years under head coach Dan Zaneski after participating his first two seasons under head coach Charlie Currier, the man for whom Plymouth State's home field is named. Flynn has remained active in sports, teaching and coaching at the high school level in Malden, Mass.
KRISTEN HODSDON-MORISSETTE ('94): One of the top two-sport athletes in school history, Hodsdon-Morissette set records and earned top honors as a member of both the women's basketball and softball teams. She was elected captain of both sports during her tenure, and helped lead each team to what was then the most successful season in school history. She continues to be involved in athletics, as she is a volleyball and softball coach at Exeter (N.H.) High School.
A point guard on the PSC basketball team, Hodsdon was captain of the 1994-95 squad that finished with a school-record 21 wins and became the first team in school history to advance to the NCAA Tournament. She earned All-Little East Conference First Team honors as a senior and played in the New England Senior All-Star Game. Hodsdon set the Plymouth State career assists record in 1995 with 258 (which has since been broken).
On the diamond, Hodsdon starred at shortstop and at the plate, finishing her career with 11 school records. She was named All-New England in 1994 after leading the team to a school-record 20 wins and a berth in the ECAC New England Tournament. Among the records she set were most hits, runs, doubles and total bases, all for a season and a career. She also set standards in the field with the most career assists and the highest fielding average.
CARL McALLISTER ('67): One of the top basketball players to wear the Panther uniform in an earlier era, McAllister was only the second player in school history to score more than 1,000 career points when he accomplished the feat in 1967. He finished his career with 1,050 points and still ranks 14th on the PSU all-time scoring list.
McAllister was a four-year veteran on the varsity basketball team under coaches John Foley and Dayton Spaulding from 1963-67. He led the team in scoring and rebounding as a junior in 1965-66 with 19.2 points a game. He was elected captain as a senior, and was again one of the scoring and rebounding leaders as he reached the career 1,000-point plateau. Plymouth State had a winning record all four years when McAllister was playing, going 51-33 overall and putting together a 15-6 mark in 1964-65, Coach Foley's final season.
After graduation, McAllister got involved in coaching, serving as boys basketball coach at Fall Mountain Regional High School from 1967-71 and taking the team to the Class I semifinals three times in four years. McAllister returned to Plymouth State to earn his Master's degree, which he received in 1975. The PSC Men's Basketball Program honored him with Carl McAllister Day at Foley Gymnasium on Feb. 10, 1990.
MIKE MOFFETT ('78): The name Mike Moffett is not only in the Plymouth State Men's Basketball record books, but in the history books of just about every other Panther sport because of his work as Sports Information Director from 1986-93. He etched his name in the basketball annals from 1975-78 with more than 1,000 points scored and the all-time rebounding record, and practically re-wrote records in every sport when he put out a book on the history of Panther Athletics in the early 1990s.
A native of Groveton, N.H., Moffett played four years in a Panther uniform, finishing with a school record 728 rebounds, including a record 321 as a junior. Moffett score 1,030 points, becoming the fifth highest scoring leader in the program's history. He played on three winning PSC teams in four years, including the 1975-76 unit that finished 19-7 and averaged a school-record 97.5 points.
In addition to writing the history book, Moffett publicized Panther Athletics as SID for seven years, promoting numerous national calibre student-athletes and teams in an era before computers. He helped start the PSC Athletic Hall of Fame, helped establish Plymouth State as the site of numerous N.H./Vt. All-Star games, and served as the first publicist of the Freedom Football Conference. Moffett is still involved in athletics, having set up the Sports Management program at N.H. Technical Institute in Concord. He coached the NHTI basketball team for several years, taking it to the Small College National Tournament in Kansas in 1998.

CAMPTON HILLS – A St. Charles resident who has worked in the restaurant industry for 20 years is preparing to open a place of his own this month in Campton Hills.
Jose Quintero said he had been thinking about opening a restaurant for a while, when an opportunity to start one across from Village Hall arose in early fall.
"That was my chance," he said. "We came to an agreement, and here I am, trying to open."
Named after one of his 31⁄2-year-old twin daughters – Quintero joked he has to rush to open another restaurant for the other twin – Lupita's Cocina occupies 40W222 LaFox Road just south of Route 64. Former occupants include short-lived Burrito Stop, Jalapeno Nacho and a coffeehouse.
"I love my location," Quintero said, noting the lack of Mexican restaurants nearby.
Since October, Quintero has been transforming the small space into a sit-down restaurant. Changes include halving the office space to make room for a bar, redoing the counter around the kitchen and installing proper kitchen equipment, he said, noting the space didn't even have a gas pipes when he moved in.
Outdoor seating is planned for the summer. Looking outside, Quintero noted how the seating will be in the shade later in the day.
"This is going to be perfect," he said.
Quintero expects to be part of the kitchen crew, who will work off a menu developed by Mario Cruz. Dishes include tacos, enchiladas and fajitas featuring such ingredients, as wood-grilled skirt steak, wood-grilled chicken breast, wood-grilled shrimp, slow-roasted pork belly and various vegetables and salsas. A children's menu also is offered.
Meals will be made to order. In the summer, the restaurant intends to buy ingredients, especially vegetables, from local farmers markets, Quintero said.
"We want to try to keep it fresh," he said.
Quintero is excited and nervous about opening Lupita's Cocina, he said. He worries about not getting enough business, he said, but he is comforted by the number of people – such as the nearby office workers – who have asked when the restaurant will open.
Quintero hopes to open this month, he said, adding he planned to meet with employees this week.
