text: Three grads cover the world for top news organizations News Home 03.05.13 By: Buff Lindau Burma, Afghanistan, Iraq, China - these are the locales for three Saint Michael's College graduates covering the news around the world for The New York Times, National Public Radio, The Washington Post and several free-lance media outlets. The voice of Tom Bowman '77 is heard almost daily on NPR, as their National Desk reporter covering the Pentagon. In his current role, Bowman has traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan often for month-long visits, and embedded with U.S. Marines and soldiers. He is heading this month back to Afghanistan. Before joining NPR in April 2006, Bowman spent nine years as a Pentagon reporter at The Baltimore Sun, covering the Maryland Statehouse, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the National Security Agency (NSA). His coverage of racial and gender discrimination at NSA led to a Pentagon investigation in 1994. Essex Junction, VT native Tim Arango '96 is The New York Times bureau chief in Iraq, dividing his time between Baghdad and Istanbul, Turkey. He joined The Times in 2007, and was featured in the film "Page One: Inside the New York Times." He has reported previously for Fortune Magazine, The New York Post, and The Street. He had a page-one NYTimes story, Feb. 24, 2013, titled "Turks Debate Modest Dress Set for Takeoff," capturing the divide between the religious and the secularist movements in Turkey as revealed by official clothing for airline flight attendants. Shelburne, VT native Jonah Kessel '06 covers China for The New York Times video department, and shoots still photos for The Times and other publications. "China's growing role in global politics, economics, social and environmental issues has made this a fascinating position," Kessel said. He has recently started shooting a documentary in Burma for a nascent "but feisty" online news startup called Global Post. He has also recently taken assignments from The Washington Post.

Here are our position by position grades:
Ryan Fitzpatrick fumbled the ball away on a hit from behind but settled down in tough weather conditions. He finished with 14 completions on 23 attempts for 142 yards. It was a day for the running game and he helped out there as he finished with 49 yards rushing on four carries, including three designed runs.
Grade B-: Got the win but did more with his legs than his arm.
Fred Jackson put the game away with some good, hard running in the final quarter as he finished with 112 yards on 29 carries.
C.J. Spiller was mixed in more and had eight carries for 33 yards.
Corey McIntyre did some nice things in the blocking game and caught a big 14 yard reception in the red zone.
Grade A: Controlled the ball game on the offensive side.
Lee Evans didn't catch a pass before leaving the game late in the first half with an ankle injury.
Steve Johnson made some nice tough catches and seemed to have his confidence back. He led the team with five catches for 42 yards.
Donald Jones had two catches for 14 yards.
David Nelson made a really nice diving catch for his touchdown. Big time play in less than ideal conditions.
Jonathan Stupar had a big game with three catches for 45 yards including a big run after the catch on a 35 yard play.
Donald Martin had a 13 yard reception.
Grade C+: The tight ends get involved this week.
Eric Wood made an easy transition to center and made the right calls as the communication seemed fine.
Cordaro Howard split time at right guard since his shoulder injury wouldn't allow him to play the whole game.
Chad Rinehart got the other reps in what was a bit of a surprise.
Grade B: Gave up two sacks but paved the way for a 4.6 yard rushing average.
Kyle Williams had a nice return of a fumble but was quiet the rest of the game.
Marcus Stroud was barely even mentioned as he had just one assist.
Alex Carrington had just one tackle.
Spencer Johnson made two tackles.
Torell Troup had one assist.
Grade D: Didn't do much against the run or in the pass rush.
Chris Kelsay had four tackles and forced a fumble.
Paul Posluszny had nine tackles but didn't lead the team.
Akin Ayodele did lead the team with 10 tackles.
Arthur Moats had a sack which forced a fumble that the Bills recovered and was in on three tackles.
Grade B+: Kept the short passing game in check and did a good job against the run.
Drayton Florence was called for a costly penalty to give the Browns a new set of downs. He was in on four tackles
Terrence McGee was beaten for a downfield completion.
Leodis McKelvin forced a pass breakup and then picked off a pass on consecutive plays.
Jairus Byrd forced two fumbles by Peyton Hillis, one recovered by the Bills.
Donte Whitner was in on only five tackles but did force a fumble.
Bryan Scott recovered a fumble.

Brian Moorman had four punts for a 43.5 yard average and 36.8 yard net.
Rian Lindell hit both short field goal attempts.
Donald Jones had two kickoff returns for 35 yards.
C.J. Spiller had three punt returns for a 13.7 yard average including a 33 yard return.
Coverage Units gave up a seven yard punt return and four kickoff returns for a paltry 11.5 yard per return average.
Grade C: Too many mistakes but the kicking game knows this kind of weather.
Chan Gailey didn't look good when the team took a delay of game penalty coming out of a timeout. He did alter his game plan nicely for the weather conditions and went with the ground game.
George Edwards adjusted nicely after the Browns ran it down the Bills throats on the opening possession.
Bruce DeHaven his unit continues to make some boneheaded plays. The personal foul on Jon Corto right before halftime could have cost them if there were a few more ticks left on the clock. Reggie Corner was called for a holding penalty in the fourth quarter putting them in a hole.
Grade B: The team hasn't run for the bus, they have won three of their last five.

When a patient is diagnosed with bladder cancer, removing the tumor is one of the first options considered. The type of surgery will depend on the stage and grade of the cancer. There are two surgical options:
- Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT): This procedure may be suggested for slow-growing cancers that remain confined to the bladder lining. A surgeon uses a cystoscope with a loop cutting tool inserted into the bladder through the urethra, to remove the tumor. If necessary, an electric current may be used to burn away remaining cancer cells (referred to as fulguration). The doctor may also take biopsies of both the tumor and surrounding normal cells.
- Cystectomy: Partial or total (radical) removal of the bladder may be the best option for aggressive cancers. A radical cystectomy removes the entire bladder, nearby lymph nodes, part of the urethra and nearby organs that may contain cancer cells. In men, the prostate gland is usually removed and sometimes the urethra. In women, the lower end of the ureters, the front wall of the vagina, the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries are usually removed. In some instances, a segmental (or partial) cystectomy is performed where only the cancer and some of the bladder tissue around the tumor are removed.
Patients who undergo chemotherapy before surgery may increase their cure rate by as much as 10 to 30%. Learn about the benefits of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy to help treat your bladder cancer.
Robot-Assisted Cystectomy
Since 2005, Roswell Park has offered a minimally invasive option for surgical bladder removal called robot-assisted radical cystectomy. Today, more than 98 percent of all bladder cancer surgeries are performed with robotic assistance. While open surgery involves a long incision, robotic surgery is done laparoscopically — through small incisions in the abdomen. The technology used is Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci® Surgical System, which offers breakthrough surgical capabilities, imitating the movements of a human surgeon's hands while increasing precision.
Patients who have robotic-assisted cystectomy experience 50 percent less pain, less blood loss, quicker recovery, and fewer complications compared to those who undergo traditional cystectomy. This makes the procedure an important treatment option for the more than 60 percent of bladder cancer patients who are over age 65 because many have health problems that would make them ineligible for traditional open surgery.
Reconstructive Surgery
If you have a cystectomy, you also will have reconstructive surgery. Once the bladder is removed, it is necessary to create a storage space to take over the bladder functions, and to fashion a structure that will allow you to pass urine.
Roswell Park surgeons offer three ways to achieve this:
- Urostomy: If the urethra was removed as part of the cystectomy, surgeons can create a urinary passageway by forming an ileal conduit or urostomy. A portion of the small intestine (ileum) is used to make a tube through which urine will pass through an opening to the outside of the body, called a stoma. Urine collects in a flat, disposable bag worn on the outside of the body. The bag must be emptied and replaced regularly, and the stoma cleaned and checked.
- Continent Reservoir: This procedure uses the small intestine to create a reservoir or storage pouch to collect urine inside the body. This pouch, also called an Indiana pouch, means an external bag is unnecessary. The stoma is very small and can be covered with a bandage. Inside the pouch is a one-way valve that does not allow urine to escape. Every 4 to 6 hours, you will insert a small catheter (tube) into the stoma to drain the pouch.
- Orthotopic Neobladder: In this procedure, a part of your small intestine can be used to make a new pouch (a neobladder) that is connected directly to your urethra. No stoma or external bag is necessary. Instead, the neobladder empties just as the original bladder did, with urine passing normally, through the urethra. Some people may need to use a small disposable catheter a few times a day to empty the neobladder. The catheter is placed into the bladder through the urethra.

Handspun Friday - Old Forge!
I realize that this is an old hat for many of you, who've seen it on Ravelry and/or on flickr already!
Yeah! My Old Forge blanket is done! I can't tell you how much I loved this project from start to finish. As soon as I saw the pattern, I knew I would do it in handspun yarn.
Just to remind you what I've used: variegated BFL for the key lime green, and royal purple I dyed up myself, and some Corgi Hill Farm "Monika's Muse".
This royal purple is impossible to capture:
"Monika's Muse"
And here's the finished blanket:
I made some modifications to the orignial. I left out the lace part. Although I like the idea of the lace, I didn't like the lace design.
I also left out the stitch pattern before the border. But before I added the garter ridge border, I did some slip stitching. I would have liked a few more rounds of that, but I didn't know if I had enough yarn left.
I cast on 11 stitches for the border, and knit it a little different than the original. Notes on that are on my Ravelry project page.
I used 5mm needles, but the yarn was mostly chunky and should have been at least a 6mm needle. Oh well, can't do anything about it now. It's still 61inches in diameter. Using 5mm needles, saved me some yarn, but it might not have been enough when using larger size needles, so I'm happy with the outcome.
Even though I took the photos in the morning sun, the colors are not as vibrant as in real life. Still, I love my Old Forge blanket, and have already planned another one, which will be modified as well.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

As a burgeoning biodiesel industry continues its binge on U.S. vegetable oil production, including oil pressed from cottonseed, one processor has demonstrated a special appetite for a bygone byproduct of the business — mechanically expelled cottonseed meal, or "old-process" cake.
Formed in 2005 in response to the alternative-fuel boom, Lake Providence, La.-based Hollybrook Cottonseed Processing has developed an extrusion process that more closely resembles the historical method of pressing oil from delinted whole cottonseed.
Chris Troeh, an investor in the Hollybrook venture, explains that solvent processing, which requires the chemical hexane, replaced the mechanical press in the mid-1900s because of its ability to extract more oil. This, of course, meant less oil would remain in the expelled meal. The hexane process also strips away vitamins and antioxidants, which serve as natural feed preservatives.
Adds Buck Chastain, a technical consultant with Albion Advanced Nutrition, Brownstown, Ind., "Old-time feeders remember the old cottonseed meal because of the additional energy it provided. The gals would really slick up and bloom up."
For economic reasons, the "old process" cottonseed meal became a memory — until now. "Everything comes full circle," Chastain notes, referring to Hollybrook's return to a mechanical press — although a more modern, efficient mechanical press. "The good news for beef producers is that the resulting meal retains more of the oil, and all of the cottonseed hull — unlike solvent-extruded meal, which is completely dehulled — for a cake that provides omega-3s, protein and fiber."
A self-described "big fan" of the Hollybrook cake, Chastain explains why cattle will perform well with this unique three-in-one product. "It's high in protein like traditional cottonseed meal, but it offers the added benefits of higher fat, which helps slow digestion, and higher fiber from the hulls, which boosts feed efficiency," he says. "You get more digestibility out of the feed ingredients rather than watching them go out the back end."
Rebecca Elliott, regional sales representative for Freeport, Ill.-based Furst McNess Company, the exclusive distributor for the Hollybrook cake, says the process brings the opportunity for added value to Mid-South's cotton farmers and, in turn, provides a nutritious local feed supply for local cattle farmers.
"It's a unique feed ingredient that in many cases compensates for the weakness of the region's forages," she says.
Adds Chastain, the options for using this product in beef production, from creep feed, starter-grower, developing heifer, and bull performance test diets, are "very exciting."
While traditional cottonseed meal compares at 41 percent protein, 14 percent fiber and 0.5 percent fat, the nutrient profile of Hollybrook's cake tests at 26 percent protein, 24-25 percent fiber, and 6 percent fat.
"The high fat improves body condition and daily gains, the high fiber levels reduce forage requirements, and the natural phosphorus level reduces mineral supplements while also improving reproduction," Elliott says. "What's more, the heat produced during oil extraction actually increases the bypass characteristics of the protein and reduces the free gossypol content."
With the installation of an on-site pellet mill later this month, Hollybrook soon will add range cube production to its offering, allowing cow/calf and stocker operations to feed with ease, Elliott says.
"Production of the finished good at the point of origin creates freight savings and other synergies that are typically not seen in today's environment of commercial feed manufacturing," she says. The cubes provide enough hardness to reduce shrink and improve flowability.
Currently, the cottonseed cake is available in meal form. Bulk meal costs $130 per ton, f.o.b., and $155 per ton, f.o.b. in super bags. Pellets and cubes, available as early as April, will carry a $20 per ton premium and can be delivered on dump trucks, walking floors and hopper bottoms. Producers can call the Furst McNess Company at (800) 622-3276 for a delivered price.

ADDISON COUNTY/BRANDON — Eleven area schools have been tapped to receive about $450,000 to pay for computer hardware and software as the result of the settlement of a consumer fraud suit against Microsoft Corp.
Superintendents in all four of the local supervisory unions this week received letters from the Vermont Department of Education telling them that some of their schools would be among the 135 Vermont schools that will share in $4.7 million Microsoft agreed to pay in order to settle a 2001 court case. The payouts will come in the form of vouchers that could be used to purchase certain computer software and hardware products, and related services, which need not be from Microsoft.
"It's like manna from heaven," said William Mathis, superintendent of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union.

MONTPELIER — Vermont dairy farmers by the end of next week are expected to receive their first checks under an emergency price support program implemented by the state in late June.
Officials at the Vermont Agency of Agriculture explained this week that under the Vermont Target Price Program (VTPP) they will pay dairy farmers 99 cents per hundredweight for milk they sold in June. The $8.6 million VTPP fund was created by Gov. James Douglas and the Vermont Legislature in late June to help dairy farms handle the losses caused by the combination of bad weather, high fuel prices and low milk prices.
"It's definitely going to help," said Ferrisburgh dairy farmer Ray Brands. "Right now, the prices are at their lowest point."
NEW HAVEN — After 28 years on the New Haven selectboard, Amos Roleau III resigned his position at the body's July 11 meeting, saying he was discouraged by changes in the town in recent years.
Looking back on his time in office, Roleau was concerned about the direction he thought things were going. "The (town) government is going to have to change," he said. "You're getting more municipal services that everyone wants, and that has to come from somewhere."
He said that if current trends continued, New Haven would need a larger town government, including offices like a town manager or a town planner, which he opposed.
Roleau said one of his biggest reasons for leaving was the voters' decision, made at a special town meeting May 25, to decide future town government issues by Australian ballot. "That, to me, means we don't even need a town meeting any more," Roleau explained.
BRISTOL — In response to concerns about availability of dental care in Addison County, two groups are trying to start a dental clinic that could serve area residents who now lack adequate care.
The need for a dental center in the county is likely to grow, according to Moira Cook, district director of the Middlebury office of the Vermont Department of Health. "We are concerned about the access to dental care in this county, so anything to make dental care more readily available would be a good thing."
The area might not have a shortage of dental care providers right now, Cook said, but as dentists retire or leave the area, some fear that a problem will arise. "There's pretty decent coverage in this county, but we're more concerned about the future," she said.

BRIDPORT — When the Rev. James Slowey came home to what was supposed to be his surprise 40th birthday party in Picayune, Miss., on Aug. 27, 2005, there was no way he could have predicted the terrifying events of the next few days, let alone the next year.
There was no way he could have known that the following summer he and his family would be sitting down at the dining room table of Tim Franklin, pastor of the Bridport Congregational Church in Addison County, Vermont. Up until the spring of 2006, Slowey and his family knew very little of Vermont and never dreamed that they would take their first airplane trip there.
But then Hurricane Katrina struck his coastal community, some 55 miles northeast of New Orleans, and the world changed.

ADDISON COUNTY — Some lawmakers are learning about dairy farmers' financial problems during debates and meetings in the Vermont Statehouse and in the nation's capital.
But Sen. Harold Giard, D-Bridport, said one doesn't need to go beyond the local supermarket to get a vivid picture of the issues plaguing farmers and what is needed to get them back on their feet.
While walking in the dairy section in one of Middlebury's chain supermarkets last week, Giard — a former dairy farmer and member of the Senate Agriculture Committee — gestured to gallons of milk lined up in a long cooler.
He noted a price of $3.13 per gallon for the milk, of which only $1.03 is ending up in farmer's pocket, due to the many deductions and price adjustments that take place as the product makes its way from the farm to the supermarket.
MIDDLEBURY — Town officials in Middlebury have abandoned the notion of establishing a local mosquito control program this year and will instead survey residents next Town Meeting Day to determine whether there is enough interest to pursue the idea in 2007.
Selectmen made that decision on Tuesday after learning it could cost the town $50,000 to $100,000 to run an effective mosquito control program this year — and that's with the summer well under way, and with the prime insect hatching period just about over.
"I would not expect we would be able to do this, this year," Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger said.
An increasing number of residents in town have asked selectmen to look into ways of putting a dent in the mosquito population, which they say has soared with recent wet weather. The county already includes two insect control districts — the Brandon-Leicester-Salisbury-Goshen district and the Lemon Fair district (covering Bridport and Cornwall). Weybridge voters on July 25 will decide whether they want to contract for mosquito control services.

Some Capital Bikeshare Stations Getting Temporarily Removed Today
From Capital Bikeshare:
Security measures and traffic restrictions that will be put in place for the upcoming inauguration will have a significant impact on Capital Bikeshare. Please take the time to read the information below regarding the specific impacts the inauguration will have on our service. In the past, the Secret Service have changed plans and have shut down access as events happen so be prepared to change your route or to make new plans. Be flexible!
Station Removals
Due to security measures being put in place for the inauguration, Capital Bikeshare will be completely removing stations in the area of the inaugural parade route (from the Capitol to the White House) starting this week.
On Wednesday, January 16, the following stations will be removed:
• 10th & E St NW
• 10th & Constitution Ave NW
• 15th & NY Ave NW
On Thursday, January 17th the following stations will be removed:
• Reagan Building/14th & D St NW
• 14th & G St NW
• 14th & H St NW
Station Reinstallation
Removed stations will be reinstalled starting on Wednesday, January 23rd and be completed by Thursday, January 24th.
Continues after the jump.
Pre- and Post-Inauguration Bike Corrals
In order to accommodate our members while these stations are taken off the street, we will be hosting a bike corral at the 13th and NY NW station from 8am to 10am. The morning corral will be available on the following days:
• Wednesday, January 16th
• Thursday, January 17th
• Friday, January 18th
• Tuesday, January 22nd
• Wednesday, January 23rd
• Thursday, January 24th
Please note that while we can guarantee you a place to dock your bike, we cannot guarantee that a bike will be available for your return trip, so please plan accordingly.
Rebalancing During the Inauguration (Monday, January 21st)
Due to the security perimeter established for the inauguration, a significant number of downtown stations will not be accessible to rebalancing vehicles. Other stations outside the perimeter will be difficult to access due to road closures, security measures, and anticipated high volumes of traffic. As a result, we may have difficulty rebalancing many downtown stations. We ask for your patience during this time. Please be sure to consult Spotcycle before starting your trip.
Inaccessible Stations on the National Mall (Monday, January 21st)
There will be two stations on the National Mall that will be out of service during the Inauguration: 14th and Jefferson and 12th and Jefferson (Smithsonian Metro). These stations will be shut down during the event and will open up in the evening after the parade has finished. We are expecting this to be around 7pm.
Inauguration Day Bike Corrals
To accommodate the anticipated high usage of Capital Bikeshare on Monday, January 21st, we will be hosting two bike corrals, one each on the north and south sides of the security perimeter: The north corral will be held at the 17th and K NW station next to Farragut Square. The south corral will be at the 12th and Independence Ave SW (USDA) station. Both corrals will be open from 7am to 5pm. You will be guaranteed a place to drop off your Capital Bikeshare bike but we cannot guarantee a bike for return trips.

The Town of Lewiston Board was proactive as it moved on various financial fronts Monday. It approved a restructured $16.640 million town budget for 2013; reviewed a number of improvements for the soon-to-open ice rink at Academy Park and heard more on the benefits of Lewiston's new surplus electrical power sales package.
Leading off, the 2013 budget saw unanimous approval by the board.
The plan, which was trimmed from a $17.9 million plan submitted earlier, stays within the state's 2 percent tax cap and came to be as a result of spending reductions, plus the town choosing to go the low-interest bonding route versus new taxes to fund needed highway paving work. "With the help of the board, all the department heads and the highway superintendent, we were able to keep it down" said Town Finance Director Michael Johnson, who added that, once again, Lewiston, unlike other towns, will be able to avoid imposing a town tax on its residents for the coming year and still stay within the 2 percent cap.
Johnson explained that, thanks to a number of cost-saving factors, Lewiston was able to hold the line this time around. Included were state retirement expenses that came in less than expected; town insurance costs that dropped an estimated $40,000 to $45,000 from last year; the town facing a modest $4,000 increase over budgeted numbers in workmen's compensation costs; increases in sales tax revenues; the town reaching agreement with the Village of Lewiston on funding the Lewiston Police Department budget; plus the town being able to achieve favorable bonding for the Master Sewer District. Johnson noted that Supervisor Steve Reiter was able to gain a significant reduction in master sewer costs from $105 per unit to $35.90 per unit. It's "one of the major factors that kept us under the tax cap.
"It's trimmed down," said Johnson of the overall budget, adding the town needs to be very cautious on its spending in the future. "The next three to five years, it will be a little bit different. After the first of the year, we should start focusing on revenue and cut spending."
Johnson said that Reiter and the Town Board are already pursuing new revenue sources and that Town Recreation Director Mike Dashineau is doing the same for the town ice rink this year in the form of new sponsorships.
"This budget is based on bonding money to do road construction for highway ... we're getting some (bonding) rates now, we hope to have this done by the first of the year," said Johnson.
Board members on roll call vote went on to approve the 2013 spending plan soon after. It includes $10.862 million in appropriations (general, general/outside village, highway/drainage-town outside village, and the Water Pollution Control Center) - all fully funded with no taxes; and $5.778 million in special districts funding (Lewiston water improvement, fire protection, LMSIA, Lewiston south sewer, Lewiston Heights and refuse) with $2.445 million to be raised by taxes. Other highlights are a 3 percent increase in salaries for all town employees, excluding the Town Board who "graciously gave theirs up," said Johnson.
In other news from the session:
•The board approved a motion for $29,152 in electrical improvements at Academy Park in preparation for the ice rink operations.
Reiter said money for the improvements came from the recent sale of Lewiston's low-cost power allocations on the market. He said that as a result of a new arrangement for Lewiston to sell its annual New York Power Authority low-cost power allocation of 6.5 megawatts, the town was able to pay off more than $57,000 in debt owed to National Grid - a final payment from an earlier staggering $1.2 million owed to National Grid under an expired sales reimbursement arrangement. In addition, Reiter said the town received $80,000 in its latest electrical sales proceeds to fund the Academy Park work; and all new electrical sales revenue to the town is going into an escrow account. Reiter said further that the town is working on a water billing package with the Village of Lewiston to have surplus money from town electrical power sales go to lower water bills for village residents in the form of a debit on their bills.
•In related ice rink news, the town approved the hiring of new staffers for the facility. Councilman Mike Marra reported that new sponsors have been signed up and Dashineau is actively pursuing more. Sponsors signed up thus far include: Wendt's Propane, in the form of $15,000 in assistance to cover heating costs and rental equipment related to rink operations; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 37, with $20,000 in in-kind support for electrical upgrades; Falls Tent, $5,000; and $5,000 from the Village of Lewiston.
Dashineau seeks $17,000 in additional sponsorships from area businesses and is expected to name them in the near future.
Reiter closed by saying the rink, which will open on Dec. 1, will be one-and-one-half times larger in size than last year's and more elaborate, with the above facilities improvements plus a number of embellishments coming from the Village of Lewiston. He went on to praise the efforts of Dashineau, saying, "Mike is doing a great job of getting costs defrayed." (See related Page 1 story on the ice rink.)
•The board set a public hearing for Monday, Dec. 10, at 5:45 p.m. to consider a draft submitted by the town's Wind Tower Committee for a new commercial wind energy code. It also reminded residents that a public hearing to review the Lewiston's zoning map amendment will occur Monday, Nov. 26, at 5:30 p.m., prior to the Town Board's regular monthly meeting at Town Hall.
•The board discussed, but took no action on, a possible purchase offer by Coppins family interests of a green space area currently owned by the town in the Lewistowne Park subdivision-Raymond Drive neighborhood. Reiter noted that he and the board have been actively pursing letting the town's numerous green space lots be sold off. More news on this, at next month's meeting.

Internet Librarian 2011: John Seely Brown Opening Keynote
Internet Librarian 2011:
Opening Keynote (John Seely Brown)
The entrepreneurial learner—people constantly wanting to learn new things in a world full of constant change. How do we cultivate that kind of spirit in today's kids and perhaps even ourselves.
Up until the last 5-15 years, the infrastructures we've experienced—steam, electrification, etc.—have all had an S curve of development. Quick innovation and then long periods of stability, which is when we reinvent the new social practices of how to operate. The digital universe, however, doesn't follow the S curve pattern…It's a continuously increasing upswing, with no time of stability to settle down.
We're experiencing a very strange phenomenon—the half-life of a given skill has shrunk to about 5 years. Most of us grew up in a time when our skills would be relevant for 20 or more years. Going back to school is not the solution. You have to find new ways of constantly picking up new skills.
We know how to deal with stocks (protecting and delivering authoritative knowledge assets). But we're moving into flows, from codified knowledge to tacit knowledge, where cultivation is more important than ever. We have not had time to build institutional warrants. A new kind of critical reason is important to thought.
And contrary to what people say, librarians are more important than ever. Are we preparing our students for this new world?
This requires more than just the skill of learning how to learn. It requires new dispositions. And dispositions cannot be taught. But they can be cultivated in the right settings…like libraries.
We have to be able to afford curiosity in a networked age. Mobile devices are amplifiers – amplifying curiosity.
Dispositions of an Entrepreneurial Learner
- Curiosity – pulling information on demand
- Questing – seeking, uncovering, probing
- Connecting – listening to others, engaging
Perhaps we need new approaches to learning, new practices, and new approaches to thinking and acting. Maybe we need a new tool set.
Many of us grew up with a Cartesian view of learning – I think and therefore I am. Pedagogy was viewed as knowledge transfer. What worked well for the last century is not up to today's challenges. We need a social view of learning – we participate and therefore we are. Understanding is socially constructed. We see this in study groups.
What is the single best indicator of success at college today? Is it SAT scores? No. GPAs? No. Wealth of your parents? No. It is your ability to join or form your own study groups—pull people like you together, talk through material. This idea works digitally too – it doesn't have to be face to face. A lot of students do joint problem solving through SMS, Facebook, chat, etc. So they are building in the virtual world an amazing study room to help them through their learning processes.
Authority vs. timeliness in a rapidly evolving world – good example is Britannica vs. Wikipedia. Wikipedia has given us the ability to see the back room – the arguments, the disagreements, the kind of knowledge and scholarship that is contested and argued. For the first time students can see this and be participants and contributors to these discussions. We as librarians know how to peel back and see what is still being contested – we can help our students cultivate this kind of inquisitiveness and help them make sense of the arguments.
We used to focus on content, assuming context was relatively stable. But in the world of social media and networked knowledge context is much more fluid. Blogging and remixing mucks with the content and the context. Blogging can be joint context creation.
"The blogger is—more than any writer of the past—a node among other nodes, connected but unfinished without the links and the comments and the track-backs that make the blogosphere , at its best, a conversation, rather than a production." – Andrew Sullivan. Sullivan compares blogging to jazz—improvisational, intimate, and individual, and collective – and the audience talks over both.
From David Weinberger's Too Big to Know: "We used to know how to know. We got our answers from books or experts. We'd nail down the facts and move on. We even had Canons. But in the Internet age, knowledge has moved into networks. There's more knowledge than ever, but it's different. Topics have no boundaries, and nobody agrees on anything.
Collectives—folks who share participation over belonging, they make no demands on users, yet learning happens all the time. They have almost unlimited scale (unlike social networks) and at their core rest on peer and master mentoring.
How do we bring knowing and making together? Content and context both. Given that meaning emerges as much from context as content, new dimensions to the creation of meaning are opened. This is the essence of remix.
In a world of constant change entrepreneurial learners must be willing to regrind the conceptual lenses with which they make sense of the world. And for this an essential thing is PLAY. Play is imagination, poetry. Play is freedom to fail, and then get it right. Play leads to epiphanies—everything suddenly falling in place. Learning leads to a reframing or a re-registering of the world.
We are always faced with riddles that require us to create new lenses to reframe the challenges. Keep in mind three epistemologies—knowing (homo sapiens), making (homo faber), and playing (homo ludens). We need to tinker – to embrace change. We focus too much on knowing in our schools right now – and not enough on playing and making.
We also need to acknowledge the shifts of:
- Knowing what à Knowing what and where
- Making things à Making things and context
- Playing for sense-making à Playing for reframing
This notion of networks of imagination – that turns on emergent collective action. People don't just read Harry Potter or play World of Warcraft, then experience it and contribute to it. Networks of practice and communities of interest come together to create this collective imagination.

Cary Jay Scher, 68, died on Friday, July 13, 2012.
He had been diagnosed with cancer four weeks before he died. He was a renowned local market gardener and author of The Ten Week Garden.
He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Gladys and Lawrence Scher. He graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and earned a bachelor of arts in economics from Long Island University in 1966.
He met his first wife, Linda Larisch, while working for the Department of Justice Welfare in New York City. They moved to northern Vermont in 1968, part of the "back to the land" movement of the 1960s. They traveled extensively as well, living in Costa Rica and Mexico City. It was in Mexico that Mr. Scher's first son, Ravi, was born, in 1971.
Upon returning to Vermont, he became interested in gardening and soon developed quite a knack for growing excellent produce. He was encouraged to write a book on gardening by his good friend and founder of The Something Else Press, Dick Higgins. His book, The Ten Week Garden, which was illustrated, and hand written by Mr. Scher's wife, Linda, was published in 1973 and it was a great book for growing vegetables in a Zone Three climate. The book was translated into two foreign languages. The book was reviewed in the first edition of the Chronicle, dated March 28, 1974.
In 1975, Mr. Scher met Donna Laurin, who became his wife several years later. They had three sons and a daughter. They lived a "homesteading" lifestyle on their three acres of land in West Glover, raising vegetables, fruits and small livestock. After working at several human services jobs, he decided to devote his life to full-time gardening and raising the children while his wife worked. He became a "market gardener" and sold his vegetables and small fruits for 22 years at the Newport Farmers' Market where he had a devoted customer base.
He is survived by his 92-year-old mother, Gladys; his sister Fern and her husband, Frank, of Brooklyn, New York; by a special niece, Maggie, and her husband of Chicago; his cousin Karl and his wife, Dee, of New York; his cousin Sheila and her husband, Arnie, of Staten Island, New York; his cousin Stanley and his wife, Harriet, of Florida; and by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his five loving children: Ravi, 41, Justin, 32, Brandon, 28, Tyler, 23, and Jessica, 21. He leaves two grandsons: Emilio, 11, and Grayson, 15 months. He also leaves behind his two best friends: Donna Laurin of Glover and Sandy Kepler of West Glover.
A celebration of his life will be held at Parker Pie in West Glover on Tuesday, July 31, at 5:30 p.m.

Richard Danforth Wright died on Friday, June 29, 2012, in Newport.
He was born in Albany, New York, on June 2, 1933. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Williams College and two master of arts degrees, including one from Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English. He was a lifelong student and a teacher of many different subjects, including English at North Country Union High School until his retirement. He was a scholar for the Vermont Council on the Humanities and the Vermont Center for the Book, and led reading discussion groups at many libraries. He taught meditation classes for the Wellness Center and many years of free classes on meditation and non-denominational spiritual subjects for the nonprofit Center for Awakening in Derby Line.
He and his wife, Pat, have lived in Derby Line since 1973, where they have a book and gift shop called Tranquil Things. In that community, Mr. Wright helped organize the Bicentennial Celebration, was an officer and later executive director of the North Country Concert Association that then organized four concerts a year at the Haskell Opera House, was in the past a chairman of the board at the First Universalist Church and an officer of the nonprofit Quemont-Verbec Craft Center and School, that at that time brought together Vermont and Quebec craft students and teachers for summer classes. He loved the natural world and participated in many Vermont Earth Institute reading and discussion programs.
He was also a dowser and had been a trustee for the American Society of Dowsers and an editor of their journal, The American Dowser, to which he often contributed articles. With T. Edward Ross II, in the mid-'80s, he organized a two-day dowsing school focused on dowsing as mind reach that brought many people with medical and scientific backgrounds to Danville. He gave many dowsing talks and participated in the symposia on dowsing and consciousness that he and his wife organized as part of three annual dowsing conventions they planned. He had two published books, The Divining Mind, written with Terry Ross, and The Divining Heart, Dowsing and Spiritual Unfoldment, written with his wife, both books published by Inner Traditions International. He leaves behind two unpublished manuscripts, one on the formal retreat process and another on similar lessons learned in raising three sheltie siblings. He read widely and wrote many reviews of new books.
He was also the stepfather and guardian for a disabled son, Michael.
He enjoyed a great many things, including collecting books (with a special interest in Sherlock Holmes-related ones), films, and Irish music, and playing the autoharp and the native flute. He took great pleasure over the years from the companionship of wonderful dogs — two collies, and five shelties, and he felt blessed by many dear friends. He was a loyal, hard-working, humorous, gentle and kind man who was valued very highly by those who came to know him. They will miss his physical presence greatly: as the Irish say, "His like will not be seen again."
Amanda Sanborne Krieble

It's my new travel bike, the newest of the Modal concepts that I've designed for myself and others. I'm still kicking around ideas for its name. Maybe Mk V or Mach 5. With only 3 days until the Expo, there's only enough time to apply a brushed finish to the titanium, but afterwards I'll have it painted in a scheme that will be of really questionable taste.

To see your current partition table setting, run parted /dev/<your_volume> and then "print."

You guys know that I am obsessed with pencil eyeliner, right? I recently discovered theTaiwan produced brand 'Solone' known for their best selling long lasting eyeliners – full review here. I liked the eyeliner enough to purchase more colours…
So here are just some swatched and quick thoughts…
*Sorry mixed up Dark Night (blue) and Star Dust (silver) in the above picture.
From purchasing more colours I've realised these eyeliners are NOT created equal.
From the previous haul, Red Wine (a blackened plum with red glitter) and Forest (blackened green with gold glitter) are knockouts. So stunning smudged in, worn as eyeliner or eyeshadow. These new shades are of mixed results.
01 – Silver Black: For ages I've wanted a black eyeliner with offensively obvious silver glitter. This black eyeliner is certainly pigmented and creamy but the silver glitter is not so obvious and therefore it just looks like lots of other eyeliners in my brood.
04- Bronze: Rich brown, nothing special- I prefer Urban Decay 24/7 browns and golds to this. Blends poorly, looked muddy on my eye.
08 -Dark Night: Rich deep blue, pretty
12 -Stardust: Not as shimmery as I hoped and a bit dull.
14 Velvet Sky: Light blue, too sheer for my tastes.
I also got Peach Gold (lost it!) which is a golden peach (would you believe!!!)-like Nars Orgasm in an eyeliner. It's so pretty to look at but I couldn't get it to work on my waterline.
If you only buy one or two of these, Forest, Red Wine and Jade are my favourites. The rest are ok if you don't have any eyeliners and you are just collecting your basics.
*Purchased by me

I just got an amazing new collection of small wooden blocks…150 pieces with an even greater price. The quality is very good–there are both plain and colored blocks. I was really psyched -hoping we could get a safety verification form quickly so that we could put it on our Platinum List. But then I looked at the age label 2 & up and while all of the pieces pass the federal guidelines for small parts with a choke tube, the pieces are just a tad bigger than the regulations provide. In otherwords, they are legal but if you used a toilet paper roller (recommended to consumers by the CPSC), the pieces would fail.
This year we got many many sets with toys for pieces that are unnecessarily small. And while you could argue that your two year old may not choke, the pieces could certainly gag your toddler. If you've watched toddlers play, you know they still taste their toys.
There is no developmental or educational value of smaller parts for this age group that outweighs the safety issues poses by these smaller pieces.
So – yes toys are much safer this holiday season. The toy industry is now required to pre-test toys -rather than the old self-regulation systems. But still know that you are still the best consumer advocate your child can have. We still advise you to take a toilet paper roller and do your own at home test. If the toy fits within diameter of the roller, put it away for now.

Birds Nest Knit dress
Added Mar 24, 2013

George Town, Cay...
McCall's M6074 – the One to Four hours dress
Yet another project where there is enough fitting ease to fit my husband inside the dress with me! A one hour dress takes four.
Do drop over to my blog at http://so-sew-easy.com/mccalls-m6074-the-one-to-four-hours-dress/
to read more about this project and the dress I made using the same pattern in a Roxy fabric.
I'd been itching to try this pattern for a while and eventually got round to it. It's a very simple pattern with just 4 pattern pieces, well 2 really if you consider that each one is a mirror image of the other. Two for the front, left and right side and the same for the back. And a small piece as a casing for the elastic which creates the gather under the bust.
There were some fitting issues, but now it's finished I really like it. The material is lovely and soft and hangs down nicely, it has a bit of weight to it and the dress looks very smooth and flattering. I took the time to make some notes and rough alterations to my pattern pieces, and immediately set about making the same dress again!
This time the fabric was very different – a Roxy Girl jersey from GirlCharlee. However it is VERY lightweight – almost tissue thin and was quite difficult to sew with. I liked the fabric design so I cheated a little and I cut the back very slightly off-grain and this allowed me to line up my pattern pieces tighter, and leave fabric left over for another t-shirt. It doesn't seem to have made the dress hang badly.
This is a pattern I highly recommend for new sewers like myself. Few pieces, quick and easy to sew, and easy to adjust to get the fit you like.

Robert Mulligan; Links
The filmmaker Robert Mulligan has died. Here's David Hudson's entry at Greencine. John Belton had an essay in the special Mulligan issue of The Film Journal a couple of years ago:
Mulligan is clearly not the author of his films in the same way that Ingmar Bergman is; he does not create his own characters or stories or write the dialogue. But Mulligan is a storyteller, interpreting the stories of others. As Mulligan describes his role, "Things have to sift through me. That's me up there on the screen. The shooting, the editing, the use of music—all that represents my attitude toward the material." In his role as storyteller, Mulligan interposes his personality and sensitivity between the tale and the audience; he makes the story his own by supplying attitude. It is this attitude or tone that becomes the true subject of a Mulligan film, not character or plot. Thus in a Mulligan film, no single individual—director, screenwriter, producer, or actor—stamps the film with his personality; the feelings generated by Mulligan's view of specific characters in specific situations and settings are what count most.
Mulligan, as interpreter, chooses preexisting plots and characters for the stories of his films. His best films have been based on best-selling novels that have in common strong subjective narrations and settings that are inseparable from character and plot.
I know he's much admired but I've seen only two of Mulligan's films, To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) and Summer of '42 (1971). The former has been forever transfigured in my memory since I encountered Austrian filmmaker Martin Arnold's appropriation and deformation of it in his avant-garde classic Passage À L'Acte (1993).
I'm wondering: Do you have any favorites among Mulligan's films? Perhaps we can collect some ideas and recommendations here?
Adrian Martin has a new essay--on William Klein. Here is an excerpt:
William Klein is a remarkable figure in film history, a law unto himself, ultimately beyond (while overlapping with) many movements and trends. To look at the 1964 footage that constitutes the first half of Muhammad Ali, The Greatest (1974) - with its lack of voice-over narration and its relentlessly energetic 'in the moment' reportage - one might imagine him to have issued from the American cinéma-vérité school of Leacock, Pennebaker and the Maysles brothers. But, crucially, there is no spurious objectivity in Klein: just one look at the deliberately ugly way he frames the boxer's Southern white 'owners' (another lateral 'defilement') in contrast to the open, generous way he films Ali and his intimate entourage, is enough to palpably convey who the filmmaker is for and against, who he likes and dislikes. So, there is an aspect of Klein that anticipates the cooler, more analytical - although still indirect - gaze of Frederick Wiseman's documentaries about every kind of social institution (prison, school, office, abattoir, monastery ... ) as well as the more loquacious essay-films of Chris Marker, who first encouraged Klein to turn his photographic eye into a cinematographic eye in the (literally) dazzling short Broadway by Light (1958).

-- Dave Kehr in the NYT on the Murnau/Borzage box set, which, he writes, "also functions as a miniature history of the transition from silent films to sound. The free-floating camera and dramatic fluidity of the silents seem to screech to a halt with Borzage's first all-talking picture, the 1929 Will Rogers vehicle "They Had to See Paris." He recovers a bit of his camera mobility with the interesting 1930 "Song o' My Heart," a musical starring the hugely popular Irish tenor John McCormack, in which Borzage experiments for the first time with sound to create a bridge between lovers separated by space. But sound also constrains Borzage's gossamer romanticism, and his films take on the straightforward, slightly embittered social realism that was beginning to dominate over at Warner Brothers."
-- David Bordwell: "Like many Hong Kong movies, nearly every one of Wong Kar-wai's films went through multiple versions. But unlike many directors he seems to enjoy tweaking and rethinking his work. In production he shoots scenes, watches them, reshoots them, recuts them, and reshoots again. Editing and mixing involve the same play with variants. He adds different shots, juggles the order, adds or subtracts music at will. [...] His drive to redo his films seems to go beyond indecision or commercial calculation. Wong seems to have taken to heart his central theme of the transient moment, the fact that love can be extinguished at any instant. So why not change your films to match your mood today? Further, like Warhol, he seems to enjoy prodigality for its own sake. He enjoys conjuring up one variation after another, multiplying just barely different avatars, and draping in mist the notion of any original text. His films' basic constructive principle—the constant repetitions that create parallels and slight differences, loops of vaguely familiar images and sounds and situations—gets enacted in his very mode of production."
-- Steven Shaviro on presses (in this case, Continuum) with extremely restrictive agreements that prohibit authors from disseminating their own work, thus limiting their readership. He writes: "Some of the best theory books of the last decade have received far less notice than they deserved, all because they have been caught in the limbo of this sort of publishing arrangement. [...] There obviously needs to be some sort of open access policy for scholarship in the humanities, as there already is to a great extent in the sciences. We don't really get paid for our writing, except very indirectly in the sense that a scholarly reputation increases your "marketability" and hence the kind of salary you can get as a professor. In these cases, the policies of presses like Continuum (which I am singling out here only because of my own dealings with them; many other academic presses are just as bad) serve the interests neither of writers nor of readers. I don't have a blueprint of how to get there (open access) from here (restrictive copyright arrangements), but a first step would be for those academics who, like me, can afford to forgo the lines on their vitas, to refuse to publish with presses that have such policies."

Grant Hart | WIG318 | Released: 07/22/13
As founder and half of the songwriting engine that drove the mighty Hüsker Dü to his maverick solo work, Grant Hart has cut a singular path across the last three decades of music. It is with great confidence that we say he has made an album to rival his greatest achievements. A double album based on John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, Hart distills its essence into pop and rock concoctions that nimbly flit through the history of 20th century music from Irving Berlin and David Bowie to... Hüsker Dü, even. Ambition is the topic and Hell is the location for this project that is ambitious as Hell. Does he pull it off? We say yes!
While visiting James Grauerholz, former friend and secretary for William S. Burroughs, James showed Grant an unpublished manuscript for Lost Paradise, William's science fiction story which portrays the fallen angels as men from distant planets and God as none other than fellow Missourian Harry S. Truman. James and Grant discussed adding music to William's story much in the same way that Tom Waits and William conspired to turn the German folk tale Die Freishutz into The Black Rider as staged by Robert Wilson.
From that point the seed had been planted, and the seed grew into the most beautiful tree in the garden of Grant's career. Domino invite you to taste the fruit of this tree. Go ahead, taste it.
Although lines from the poem are rarely quoted directly, all of the menace, pain and devotion of Milton's best loved work are here found. But where Milton's poem was "unadorned by rhyme,'' The Argument contain many complex couplets, especially the title track, in which not only the ends of lines rhyme, but the word that ends a phrase is the same as the first line of the phrase after it, all while conforming to the original ten syllable structure devised by Milton. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with Grant knows how patiently he chooses the words he uses.
As a double album of two halves, we wanted to show both the light and the dark of the album in its initial introduction, so we are offering two tracks for preview. "Is the Sky the Limit?" is a melancholy song of the aftermath of rejection built upon the eerie and lonely sound of Sputnik 1. To counterbalance this somber paean, "Letting Me Out" follows in all its propulsive Buddy Holly glory as the Artist formerly known as Lucifer offers up his cunning business proposition to populate the netherworld.
