STOCKHOLM (AP) — A hatch on a Swedish church tower inadvertently left open for some three decades resulted in 2 tons of pigeon droppings amassing in the tower.
The church's property manager says the layer of droppings was 12 inches deep when it was discovered during a May inspection of the Heliga Trefaldighets Kyrka in Gavle, 105 miles north of Stockholm.
Lennart Helzenius said on Thursday that church staff had been shocked by the sheer number of bags of excrement cleaners were removing from the tower. He says the droppings filled 80 bags in the first round of cleaning, and then just as many in the second round.
Helzenius says the hatch had probably been left open since the 1980s.

Christmas tree shipment dumped in Austrian garden
VIENNA (AP) — An early seasonal delivery went badly wrong in Austria when a truck was involved in a crash and dumped 14 tons of Christmas trees in a resident's garden.
Police in Vorarlberg state, at Austria's western tip, say the accident happened Friday night as a truck with a trailer loaded with trees drove through the town of Hohenems.
The trailer hit a wall, tipped over and landed in the garden of a house. A police statement Saturday said that the fire service dispatched 30 people to recover the hundreds of fir trees.
A passenger in the truck was injured and taken to a local hospital.

Bloody bear paw baffles central Ill. authorities
DECATUR, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a bloody severed body part found along a central Illinois bike trail belonged to a bear.
A walker found the mangled paw on Thanksgiving morning along the bike trail in Decatur. That triggered an investigation by the Macon County Sheriff's Office. Deputies closed part of the path Friday when it was determined the body part did not belong to a human.
The Decatur Herald & Review reports (http://bit.ly/ShoXnK ) authorities have turned the paw over to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in hopes of discovering how it ended up along the bike path. There was no sign of the rest of the bear.
Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Atkins says there's no reason to worry about bears in the area.
Black bears have not lived in Illinois since the 1800s.

Ecuador officials reject donkey as candidate
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The demand of dozens of citizens has been denied in the Ecuadorean city of Guayaquil: There will be no jackass running for the legislature.
At least 40 people paraded their candidate through the city's streets to the electoral council offices. Mr. Burro even wore a tie. But officials refused to even let them in the door on Thursday, even though backers had dummied up a mock voter registration card showing the candidate's photo superimposed on a man wearing a business suit.
Donkey backer Daniel Molina told local television stations the goal was to call voters' attention to the seriousness of the February election, not to insult any party.

Shipping containers to become condos in Detroit
DETROIT (AP) — Plans are moving forward to use empty shipping containers to build a $3.4 million, 20-unit condominium complex in Detroit.
The Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/XhdbOq ) a model unit and sales center will break ground in mid-December near the Wayne State University campus. First proposed in 2008, the project known as Exceptional Green Living on Rosa Parks stalled amid the national real estate market tumble.
Leslie Horn is CEO of Three Squared, the Detroit-based business that's working on the project. She says the sales center will help potential buyers understand shipping container architecture. The project would stack empty containers four high, cut in windows and doors, install plumbing, stairways and heating, and add amenities.
Horn says construction on the project is expected to begin in 2013.

Mercury poisoning of Danish astronomer ruled out
KAREL JANICEK,Associated Press
PRAGUE (AP) — Ever since Tycho Brahe died suddenly more than 400 years ago, there has been mystery about whether the Dane whose celestial observations laid the groundwork for modern astronomy fell victim to natural causes or was murdered.
On Thursday, scientists who had exhumed his body said one thing is clear: if he was murdered, it wasn't with mercury, as many rumors had claimed.
"We measured the concentration of mercury using three different quantitative chemical methods in our labs" in the Czech Republic and Denmark, said Kaare Lund Rasmussen, associate professor of chemistry at the University of Southern Denmark.
"All tests revealed the same result: that mercury concentrations were not sufficiently high to have caused his death. In fact, chemical analyses of the bones indicate that Tycho Brahe was not exposed to an abnormally high mercury load in the last five to 10 years of his life," Rasmussen said in a statement.
The scientists didn't say what did kill the astronomer, but tests on the remains are still being conducted.
Brahe's death in 1601 at the age of 54 was long believed to have been due to a bladder infection. Legend said it was the result of his reluctance to breach court etiquette during a reception by leaving for a toilet. Kidney disease was another suspect.
But some speculated that he might have been poisoned with mercury, even at the hands of a king or a rival astronomer.
"Brahe's famous assistant (astronomer) Johannes Kepler has been identified as a possible murder suspect, and other candidates have been singled out for suspicion throughout the years." said Jens Vellev, a professor of medieval archaeology at Aarhus University, Denmark, who heads the Czech-Danish team of scientists that conducted the research.
Some even contend that a cousin of Brahe's killed him on the orders of Danish King Christian IV for allegedly having an affair with the king's mother.
Tests conducted in 1996 in Sweden, and later in Denmark, on samples of Brahe's mustache and hair obtained in a 1901 exhumation, showed unusually high levels of mercury, supporting the poisoning theory.
But Vellev wasn't satisfied with that conclusion and he won permission from the church and Prague authorities to reopen the tomb, saying the remains needed to be analyzed with contemporary technology.
His team opened Brahe's tomb in the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn near Prague's Old Town Square two years ago.
Tests on Brahe's beard and bones resolved the mercury question, Vellev said, but work is still being done on his teeth and that could determine his cause of death.
Brahe was born in 1546 at his family's ancestral castle in Scania, then part of Denmark, and he studied astronomy at the University of Copenhagen and in Germany. He worked at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II at a time when Prague was an imperial city.
In 1572, Brahe detected a new star in the constellation Cassiopeia. At the time the heavens were thought to be unchanging, so his discovery was startling. The next year, he became the first astronomer to describe a supernova, or exploding stars.
The exhumation also shed light on another mystery linked to Brahe — his artificial nose.
The astronomer had part of his nose sliced off in a 1566 duel with a fellow nobleman while a student in the German city of Rostock, and the missing piece was replaced by a metal plate.
"Surprisingly, our analyses revealed that the prosthesis was not made of precious metals, as was previously supposed," Vellev said. He said the samples contained "traces of equal parts copper and zinc, which indicates that the prosthesis was made of brass."

The incoming Fairmont football coach has fielded more calls from reporters and others over the last 48 hours than he did all of the final month of the season at West Johnston.
Ragland spoke with The Robesonian when the dust settled just after dinner Wednesday, his first day as the coach picked to lead the Golden Tornadoes back to a Three Rivers Conference championship.
"You wouldn't believe how many times my phone has rang since Tuesday," he said. "I've had a busy last couple of days. It's all happened so fast. I just want to get down to Fairmont and get this thing going."
Ragland interviewed with Fairmont's search committee — led by principal Kent Prater and athletic director Michael Baker — on Monday and received a call Tuesday afternoon that he had been selected. The hire was approved later that evening by the school board and the onslaught of congratulatory messages began.
Baker said Ragland was the best fit for Fairmont coming off a disappointing 4-7 that included a playoff ban and brings excitement to the community.
"You've got to have fun playing football and I think Randy brings that fun element to our team," Baker said. "I tell my basketball players all the time that if you're not having fun, play another sport. Randy seems to be a great leader and when I spoke to all his references, they were very convincing. From beginning to end, it seemed like I was talking to the same person."
Ragland was a finalist for the Fairmont opening in 2010 that ultimately went to current Scotland assistant Keith Wood. An assistant at Middle Creek at the time, Ragland was offered the West Johnston gig during that same week. Robeson County Athletic Director Jason Suggs was Fairmont's principal during the interview process and established a working relationship with Ragland.
Ragland was on the short list to fill the vacancy following James Atkinson's resignation in December.
"I just wanted to call Mr. Suggs and confirm it was still a good job with good kids," Ragland said. "When it came open again, I remembered how highly Mr. Suggs talked of the school. It kind of stuck with me these last three years and I thought it would be an excellent opportunity. I consider myself a small-town guy and that's Fairmont."
Ragland was the starting quarterback at state runner-up Fuquay-Varina in 1985 when the Bengals were a 2A competitor. He's had football in his blood since, leading the offenses at his alma-mater and Middle Creek before finishing 14-17 in three seasons as head coach at West Johnston.
"I think Randy is a good fit for Fairmont, one that will have success," Suggs said. "He brings a kid-friendly passing offense that people will enjoy, but most of all, he's a guy that understands the impact a local community has on a football team. He was one of my favorites (back in 2010)."
Ragland is taking over a program still stinging from a tumultuous season that included multiple ejections for fighting. Two years removed from a 12-1 finish, the Golden Tornadoes' reign at the top of the Three Rivers ended as did a dominant stretch over in-county rivals Red Springs and St. Pauls.
Ragland won't meet the players until he arrives at the school in February, but says he's heard good things about the current makeup of a team that returns 22 seniors. He recently attended a Fairmont basketball game and raved about the athleticism he saw on the floor.
"They've got some talent it looks like," Ragland said. "Everyone I have talked to describes Fairmont's athletes as quality kids. I know the school had some unfortunate things happen last season, but I don't think I'll have to worry about discipline problems. I never have before."
Baker said Fairmont interviewed many highly-qualified candidates but Ragland's combination of football knowledge and willingness to interact with the community sealed the deal.
"Being from Fairmont, I know the importance of getting local folks involved with backing your athletic program," Baker said. "Randy's from Fuquay-Varina and that was once a very small area. He's used to that small-town feel and that's what we needed."

(SOURCE: The Lancet, news release, July 25, 2012)
WEDNESDAY, July 25 (HealthDay News) -- Two years after he became the first child to receive a stem cell-supported trachea (windpipe) transplant, a 13-year-old boy is able to breathe normally, has grown about four inches taller, does not require any anti-rejection drugs and has returned to school. Ciaran Finn-Lynch, born with a structural defect of his large airway, underwent the transplant in March 2010 at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. After his windpipe was removed, it was replaced by a windpipe from a deceased donor in Italy. The windpipe was stripped of the donor's cells down to the inert structure of collagen. Tissue from the lining of Finn-Lynch's windpipe was implanted in the new windpipe to kick-start the growth of a lining in the new windpipe. The surgeons laced the transplanted windpipe with Finn-Lynch's own bone marrow stem cells to prevent his body from rejecting the new organ. The teen also received compounds to promote the growth and differentiation of cells within the new windpipe. It was the first attempt to grow stem cells within the body of a child who had this type of operation, rather than in a laboratory, according to an article published online July 25 in The Lancet. "Since the treatment plan for Ciaran was devised in an emergency, we used a novel mix of techniques that have proved successful in treating other conditions," paper co-author Martin Birchall, a professor of laryngology at University College London's Ear Institute, said in a journal news release. "To minimize delays, we bypassed the usual process of growing cells in the laboratory over a period of weeks, and instead opted to grow the cells inside the body, in a similar manner to treatments currently being (tested) with patients who have had heart attacks." He added that more research is needed on stem cells grown deliberately inside the body, rather than grown first in a laboratory over a long time. "This research should help to convert one-off successes such as this into more widely available clinical treatments for thousands of children with severe tracheal problems worldwide," he said.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The initial aroma is juicy, concentrated, and jammy. The palate entry is squeaky clean, more than adequately acidic, and intensely grapy; at midpalate the taste profile includes an odd flavor of chalk/limestone. Concludes with a ripe, grapy rush. Best Buy."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The number one selling cognac in the US and the world, Hennessy V.S was created in 1865 by Maurice Hennessy, great grandson of the founder, Richard Hennessy. Hennessy's "Three Star" blend is today known as Hennessy V.S.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Made in the south-west of France in the Gers region, it is intrinsically linked with Old Gascon culture. Its production probably pre-dates Cognac too, having been produced by the Moors in the 12th Century. There are three regions of vineyards with Bas Armagnac in the west being the most revered..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The sumptuous bouquet smells of old leather, old books, toasted marshmallow, pipe tobacco, prune Danish, dried fruit, salted butter and caramel cream. Entry is hugely luscious, succulent, ripe and sweet; the midpalate is concentrated, ripe, fruity, sherry-like and caramelized. Concludes balanced..

Wingers=D Tuffour,D.Sutton,D Wilson,T.Lineham,D.mole,A. Winstanley.
Centres=D.Straughier,M.Barlow,L.Watterman,M.Mitchell,I. Bell,E.Smith.
Thats 13 players to fill 4 places
looking a bit light in the pack which wont be a wise move in the championship ????
unless Woodsy is packing down of course !!
Based on the players which played for York last season and what I know about the other players. I would see Tom Lineham and Bush been first choice on the wing, but not sure about centres. At least four of the 13 are likely to feature more in the reserves. I wouldn't be suprised if some of the centres listed turn out in the second row or at loose forward next season namely Lee Waterman, Ian Bell or Mark Barlow (who is billed as a utility).

PM all in a stateIs there a way to PM everyone in a state listing at the bottomof the pages ? Be kind , I am not a "Mr E" on the computer
Re: PM all in a stateJim,
The Mods may know a trick, but as far as I can tell you would have to open a PM and manually add each one of them. You could make that process a little bit easier by adding them as "friends" then you can simply click on the name(s) on your "friends list" that is shown in the left margin when you are creating the PM. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. - Albert Einstein

Re: PM all in a stateWhen you go to compose a new PM, look for the "groups" listed to the right of the address box. Click the state you want and then click the "add" address to send to the state group.
"Time makes more converts than reason."
Re: PM all in a stateThere is a catch with the state groups. You are only part of the group if you actually JOIN the group. So sending to the state group will not get everyone from that state. (Right now, the Texas group only has 2 members!)
Re: PM all in a stateThanks guys. All good information.

Bobby Brown's early departure from Whitney Houston's funeral yesterday put the tensions in the Houston household on display for the entire world to see. What everyone really wants to know is how does Bobbi Kristina feel. Inside Edition spoke with Bobbi Kriss' ex boyfriend and he gave some insight on the complicated relationship between Bobbi Kris and her mom.
Zach Jafarzadeh dated Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, for more than two years. He spent many hours at the Houston's mansion in Atlanta.
On Bobbi Kriss and Whitney's Relationship:
"There was a power struggle at that household, Bobbi Kristina loved her mother dearly but they would have major blowups. They would fight, they almost felt like they were sisters.
What would they fight over?
"Anything. If there wasn't milk in the refrigerator or something. There would be an outburst."
On How Obvious Whitney's drug use was
"Everybody knows Whitney had a drug struggle. She had a hard time with drugs and it was obvious in the house that that was happening. There would be days when she was extremely ecstatic, happy, being outgoing having a good time, and next day, sad and down, on the couch watching TV all day."
On the role reversal between Bobbi Kriss and Whitney
"Krissi was the parent sometimes. She always looked out for her mom. Anything that was going on with her mom, if her mom felt sick, was down for the day, Krissi would comfort her mom, talk to her, try to get her to go out," said Jafarzadeh.
Bobbi Kristina herself hit the headlines last year when the National Enquirer showed photos of her reportedly doing cocaine. If she continues with this habit, Bobbi looks like she is going to need drug addiction rehabilitation in the future.
Jafarzadeh admits he leaked the photos to the Enquirer and now regrets that decision.
"I wish I had never done it. If I could say anything to Krissi, I would say, 'I am so sorry for any stress I caused her.' "
Jafarzadeh says Houston allowed her teenage daughter to drink booze.
"She'd rather have Krissi at the house drinking, than out partying and drinking, getting in trouble," said Jafarzadeh. If she had let Bobbi Kristina go out and do what she wanted to, I think it would have been a lot worse."
Jafarzadeh says he knows the heartache his ex-girlfriend is going through now after losing her mom.
Did Bobbi Kriss want to be like her mom?
"Yeah, of course. She looked up to her mom so much, her mom was huge, she was the best, she had so much personality. They really had a very extremely close relationship. Krissi needs her right now," said Jafarzadeh.
At the end of the day, after all of the stories are told this was once a family who was together and loved each other very much.

So I realize that I've been a horrible blogger this summer….and especially in the last few weeks…but I do have an excuse! I've been working full-time, and after work have been devoting my time to getting ready to move to Toronto! I moved in last weekend, and let me tell you, it feels amazing to have my very own condo in the city! It's super-tiny (497 sq feet to be exact), and it's only one room (plus a galley kitchen and bathroom)…but it's all mine! Yay! Throughout the summer I was on a scavenger hunt to find pieces for my new place, all on a budget. I started out with a brown futon from my undergrad days, but wanted to create a black and white colour scheme. From there, I decided that a neutral palette of browns, creams, whites, and black would be appropriate. A little while ago I posted about how I found two Tiffany blue antique chairs on the side of the road, for free, and immediately decided to use them as an accent colour in the space. The only issue was that I still needed a table. With such a small space, I was really hoping to find a white bistro table with a pedestal base. The closest thing I could find was one at West Elm, but at $199, it was still way out of my price range. Two days before I was set to move to Toronto, my Mom and I were driving past an antique store, when I shouted "stop the car!" There, sitting on the sidewalk, was an adorable square kitchen table with two white chairs. I wasn't too fond of the whole "country kitchen" look of the set, but for $30, and the impending move, I couldn't be picky. Initially I was going to store away the two white chairs in my storage locker, but have since decided that a mismatched set of two Tiffany blue chairs and two white chairs looks really cute. I also painted the table legs black, as well as a black geometric pattern on the table top.
Another way I customized my apartment on the cheap was to make my own artwork. In my opinion, nothing pulls a room together faster than hanging some art. I used three pieces that I had previously made in art classes at school (like the Lenny Kravitz silhouette art that is blown up in my breakfast nook), and found the other frames in my house. To make cheap art, I just found images that I liked online, and printed them off on regular paper. Popping them into the frames instantly gave the look I was hoping for. I even created a print using Picnik, where I typed in various Amsterdam-related words in different fonts, set on a black background. This way I can easily change up the art whenever I feel like it, and it won't cost me a cent. On my dresser I framed a picture I drew in Amsterdam one morning, staring out of my window.
By far the most costly item in my condo is this cow-skin rug from HomeSense. It was a splurge, (thanks Mom and Dad for the birthday present!), but instantly tied in the browns, creams, and black of the space. Plus it's super-soft and silky, and is the perfect size for in front of my futon.
I had so many mismatched antique items that I was a bit worried how they would work together in the space. From this old coat-rack to a beautiful claw-footed half-moon table my Mom's friend gave me, I wondered if the different colour woods would look ok. I think with the dark floor that they all tie in nicely, and give the space some character (nothing is worse, in my opinion, than walking into a house that looks completely from an IKEA catalog). I also brought along my Amsterdam table, that I brought home in a suitcase. For only 5 euro at a Queen's Day sale, it was a great find from my time there. Now it houses my ceramic elephant and a little basket of change.
One of my favourite elements of the room is this custom bookshelf. Originally just a plain ole white bookshelf that I had in my bedroom for ages, I decided to give it a facelift by wall-papering the back. Since the width of the bookcase was more than the width of a roll of paper, I had to do some tricky lining up of the pattern, but I think it ended up matching pretty good. The owls are from an antique store, and were originally coloured. Made from chalk, they're actually from the 1930s. I ended up negotiating and got them both for $20! A few coats of glossy white spray paint later, and they're heavy book-ends or decorative pieces.
So, what do you think? Any tips for small-space living? I'm actually getting used to living in one room, and with a lot of organization and a place for everything, it's surprisingly spacious!

E. Donald Shapiro
Harry H. Wellington
H. Zeigler
The New York Law School community mourns the passing of E. Donald Shapiro, Dean Emeritus and Joseph Solomon Distinguished Professor of Law, who passed away on December 27, 2010.
Dean Shapiro made significant contributions to the field of legal medicine throughout his long and illustrious career in private practice, as a professor of law, and as a law school dean. He was one of the pioneers in health law who transformed the field into an important and academically respectable part of legal education. From his landmark casebook to his cutting-edge scholarly articles, Dean Shapiro contributed greatly to the improvement of the legal profession's response to medical science challenges, specifically in the areas of DNA, pharmaceuticals, and bioethics.
Born in 1931 in York, Pennsylvania, Dean Shapiro graduated from Dickinson College in 1953 and went on to attend Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1956. He joined the faculty at Boston University School of Law, where he co-authored Law, Medicine, and Forensic Science (with William J. Curran), his influential casebook on law and medicine. In 1960, he joined the University of Michigan, where he served as Associate Dean for Continuing Legal Education at the law school as well as Professor of Social Welfare at the school of social work. He later became the President and Director of the Practising Law Institute in New York City.
From 1973 to 1983, he served as President, Dean, and Professor of Law at New York Law School, leading the School through difficult economic times. He was named the Joseph Solomon Distinguished Professor of Law in 1982, serving in that role until 2000 when he was also named Dean Emeritus. Dean Shapiro is credited with helping to build an outstanding faculty, ushering in a more modern approach to legal education, and taking the first steps leading to the Law School's establishment of a campus, including its new academic building, in TriBeCa. His love of the institution was felt long after his departure as dean.
"Don loved New York Law School and expressed to me on many occasions his tremendous pride in our school," said Dean Richard A. Matasar. "He consistently offered his support to me, asked about his faculty friends often, and constantly sought out information on the many graduates of the school he taught and led for so long. He will be warmly remembered by our graduates and missed by us all."
A lifelong teacher, Dean Shapiro taught at several other institutions, including Oxford University, where he served as a visiting fellow and supernumerary fellow of St. Cross College. While at Oxford, he delivered the Sacks Memorial Lecture and presented the keynote address to the Royal College of Medicine. He was also a visiting professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Bar-Ilan University (Israel), Harvard Medical School, The University of Buckingham School of Law (England), California Western School of Law, and New York University.
In recognition of his scholarship in legal medicine, Dean Shapiro received honorary degrees from the following institutions: New York Law School (LL.D. 1973), Dickinson College (LL.D. 1975), York College of Pennsylvania (H.L.D. 1980), Oxford University (M.A. 1986), and California Western School of Law (LL.D. 2010). He served on several corporate and nonprofit boards, including Frequency Electronics, Inc. and Loral Space and Communications, Ltd. Among his many honors and awards, Dean Shapiro received the Lifetime Honorary Membership Award from the New York Law School Alumni Association in 2001, and the Law School's Smith Distinguished Scholarship Award in 1982.
New York Law School is grateful for Dean Shapiro's leadership as a dean and professor, for his dedication to his family, and for his many accomplishments. We extend our condolences to his wife, Merle, and his children and grandchildren.
Note: On April 29, 2011, then-Dean Richard A. Matasar and Merle Shapiro hosted an event for the New York Law School community celebrating the life of Dean Shapiro at the Law School.
The New York Law School community mourns the passing of Harry H. Wellington, Professor of Law and Dean Emeritus, who died at his home in Manhattan on August 8, 2011.
"New York Law School was truly fortunate to have one of the nation's most prominent legal and academic figures lead the Law School into its second century," said Dean and President Richard A. Matasar. "Harry will be warmly remembered by our board members, faculty, staff, and graduates and missed by us all."
The course of Dean Wellington's life was not at all predictable. In a leap of faith—both in himself and in New York Law School—he said goodbye to the familiar prestige of Yale Law School, where he had served as dean for a decade and been made Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law, and became the 14th Dean and President of New York Law School in 1992. His decision to take the helm of an up-and-coming urban law school whose very foundations were revolutionary says much about his personal and professional courage. In fact, it was also a vote of confidence in NYLS.
Dean Wellington's courage was in evidence much earlier in his life. He was born in 1926 in New Haven, Connecticut. Although money for college was scarce, and the prudent choice would have been Yale, his father's alma mater, Dean Wellington craved independence and adventure. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, helping to pay his tuition by working as a fry cook at a luncheonette and by earning a scholarship. He was accepted to Harvard Law School and later awarded a clerkship with Justice Calvert Magruder of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He served another clerkship with Justice Felix Frankfurter of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Dean Wellington's academic career began at Stanford Law School where he taught for one year. He then joined the faculty at Yale Law School where he flourished as a scholar and teacher, and where he served as Dean from 1975 to 1985. During his 10 years in the role, he became known as a nurturer of his faculty members. In 1983, he was named Sterling Professor of Law. While at Yale, Dean Wellington served as a consultant to domestic and foreign government agencies and commissions and was actively involved in bar association committees concerned with law reform.
In 1992, upon his retirement from the Yale faculty, Dean Wellington made an extraordinary move, joining the faculty at New York Law School to lead it as President and Dean. "At first, I said no, and when they asked me why, I told them that being a tenured professor at Yale Law School was the next best thing to being born rich," he recalled. "But as I thought about the opportunity to help this place that I had come to love, I changed my mind."
At NYLS, Dean Wellington had a major impact on the image and reputation of the School. He put together and oversaw a first-rate faculty, whose well-established scholarship continues to earn respect and admiration from the legal community. He remained dean for eight years until 2000, and in 2007, he retired from teaching. He continued to serve on the School's Board of Trustees. Dean Wellington was awarded the President's Medal of Honor during the Law School's 2011 Commencement Exercises for his significant contributions to New York Law School.
Dean Wellington is survived by his wife, Sheila Wellington; his sons, John and Thomas; his daughter-in-law, NYLS Professor Lenni Benson; and two grandchildren, Max and Lily. Contributions in his memory may be sent by check to NYLS's Office of Development and Alumni Relations, Attention: Harry H. Wellington Scholarship Fund (checks payable to New York Law School).
Note: A memorial service was held for Dean Wellington at Yale Law School on November 13, 2011.
Remarks by: Professor Edward A.
Purcell Jr.
Memorial for Harry H. Wellington |
November 13, 2011 | Yale Law School
I first met Harry some twenty years ago when he came to New York Law School. Then, I took pride, as I surely do now, in the fact that I had a small hand, as a member of the dean search committee, in bringing him to the school. From our first encounter, I was won over by his rare combination of warm and gentle manner, tolerant and sensitive demeanor, astute and sophisticated judgment, and passionate devotion to intellect and education.
Harry nourished a never-flagging commitment to the highest possible standards of academic excellence. During his deanship I served for several years on the appointments committee, an onerous and time-consuming job that a dean could surely avoid. Always, however, Harry insisted on sitting with the committee and participating in all its deliberations. "The most important thing I can do," he repeatedly insisted, "is to help ensure that we find the very best candidates and make the highest quality faculty appointments possible."
I remember vividly the way Harry recounted one particular story about clerking for Justice Felix Frankfurter. Harry thought me an avid, though relatively unsympathetic, audience for his Frankfurter recollections, and I suppose it's fair to say that he himself had mixed feelings about the Justice and his career on the court. The story involved an intense disagreement. Asked to review the Justice's draft of an opinion, Harry reluctantly explained that he thought its reasoning unsound. Frankfurter immediately began arguing with him and continued to do so for several days. Indeed, while Harry was driving him home one evening, Frankfurter grew so upset with Harry's continued refusal to accept the opinion's reasoning that he gave him an extended and exceptionally rough going-over. It was so rough, in fact, that when Harry arrived home his wonderful wife, Sheila, was waiting at the door with a martini in her hand. Frankfurter had just telephoned, she informed him, and told her that when Harry arrived home he would be needing a particularly strong drink.
Harry, of course, was unnerved by the experience, and he feared that he had overstepped his bounds. In chambers the following Monday he awaited the Justice's arrival with some anxiety. When Frankfurter finally appeared, he strode straight to Harry's desk and literally threw a batch of papers on it. "Here, read this," he commanded curtly. "I hope you're happy!" Stunned, Harry quickly gathered the papers and began reading. It was the opinion, now rewritten to reflect Harry's analysis and Harry's conclusion. Frankfurter had reexamined the opinion over the weekend, and he had finally—and obviously quite unhappily—decided that Harry was right.
Harry was understandably relieved and rightly proud, but he was also deeply impressed. On an opinion the Justice cared about and defended repeatedly—and even vehemently—Frankfurter was ultimately willing to acknowledge that his young law clerk had the better of the argument. The episode, Harry believed, exemplified in practice the ideals of law and reason, of intellectual honesty and integrity. It was for its illustration of those ideals, I believe, that Harry continued to remember and recount the story, and it was for his own profound commitment to those same ideals that I—and so many others—so admired Harry.
After Harry left the deanship, he moved into the office next to mine. At first occasionally, and soon quite regularly, I would stop by his office, invariably greeted by a wide, welcoming smile. "Come in, my friend," he would say with a wave, and then one or the other of us would immediately advance some question, or observation, or opinion on whatever issue was currently occupying our attention, sometimes speaking simultaneously and frequently seeking—delightfully as it turned out—to be attempting to make the exact same point. There was wonderful satisfaction in knowing that no matter how agitated I might be about some unfortunate new legal or political development—and no matter how hyperbolic some of my assertions might be—Harry would respond sympathetically and often would add something like: "Well, you're right, and let me tell you what makes it even worse."
Those conversations ranged widely from law and politics, to friends and family, to the books, plays, movies, and travel experiences we shared or hoped to share. Talking with Harry was invariably rich and rewarding—informative, amusing, enlightening, and thought-provoking. Listening to his comments and observations, I not only learned a great deal, but I came to understand the values he most prized: fairness and justice, reason and tolerance, honesty and integrity, friendship and family.
My feelings about Harry are dominated by one all-encompassing sense. Harry was kind, decent, understanding, and entirely fair-minded. Simply put, he was a fine and good person. While his professional achievements merited my deepest respect, his personal qualities commanded my highest admiration. I miss his welcoming smile, his conversation, and his inspiration. I miss his friendship.
The NYLS community mourns the loss of Professor Donald H. Zeigler, one of the School's most revered and accomplished professors, who passed away on October 9, 2011. Professor Zeigler joined the faculty in 1984 and taught core courses in evidence, civil procedure, and federal courts for more than 25 years. He was also the Co-director of the School's Center for Professional Values and Practice.
Professor Zeigler's teaching style was marked by meticulous preparation for class, a collaborative in-class approach, and overwhelming respect for his students. He came to each class with a detailed "script" designed to organize the flow of thoughts for that particular lesson. The scripts included all of the questions he planned to ask students about a case, followed by leading and back-up questions. He encouraged exploration in the discussion, constantly creating as he went with ad-libbed questions sparked by students' responses.
In an interview with New York Law School Magazine in 2008, Professor Zeigler described his exchange with students in the classroom as a "group effort—one that's meant to be cooperative rather than competitive." It was during these moments that Professor Zeigler felt most "in the moment, fully engaged."
"Time passes differently," he said. "I feel very strong. I feel creative. When class is going particularly well, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction."
2007, the faculty asked Professor Zeigler to share his proven strategies
with his colleagues. Always a willing mentor, he happily obliged, with the
presentation in 2008 of his paper How I Teach, which outlines the approach
he perfected throughout his teaching career. In addition to this valuable
resource, Professor Zeigler helped many colleagues over the
years—both at New York Law School and Pace University—by
offering them his scripts as a preparation tool.
Professor Zeigler
said one of his greatest challenges as a teacher was being prepared to
walk into class every day with the energy and focus he needed to do a good
job. The last five years proved especially trying for Professor Zeigler,
who was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006. But that didn't stop him
from doing everything he could to help his students succeed.
The love and respect that Professor Zeigler had for his students came across in everything he did, from his careful preparation, his openness with students, and even his dress code—always a jacket and tie. Students received the message loud and clear and responded with overwhelming admiration. Professor Zeigler was recognized by students with the "Teacher of the Year" award, given at Commencement, in 2005, 2008, and 2009.
Professor Zeigler graduated from Amherst College in 1966 and Columbia Law School in 1969. He was appointed a staff law clerk, first at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from 1969–70, and then at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from 1970–72. In 1973, he joined the New York City Legal Aid Society as a staff attorney in the Special Litigation Unit. He became the head of the unit in 1975. While at the Legal Aid Society, he helped bring a number of federal civil class action suits seeking to reform the New York City criminal justice system. In 1978, Professor Zeigler joined the faculty of Pace University School of Law, where he taught for six years and was granted tenure.

Remarks by Professor David
Memorial for Donald H. Zeigler | November 7, 2011 | New
York Law School
To his colleagues, and I have had the good fortune to be one for over a quarter century, one of Don's most outstanding characteristics was his generosity. That generosity manifested itself in his teaching. He prepared for class by writing what he called his "script." In it, he would set out not only each question he would pose to the students, but also each conceivable answer and his response. Such preparation came from a source much deeper than the motto "Be Prepared," although he did have his inner Boy Scout. No, the assiduousness of the preparation came from his desire to give everything that he could to his students—that is, from his generosity. That is why the students acknowledged him as a master teacher, and his colleagues did too.
He was profoundly generous towards us too. He not only befriended new colleagues, but offered to teach them how to teach. To those lucky enough to teach his subjects, he gave copies of his precious scripts with stage directions to go with. He was equally generous in offering to read drafts of articles and providing constructive—always constructive—comments. I can still hear the excitement bubbling up from within him as he offered suggestions on how to make our work better.
This generosity to colleagues was evident from the first time that I met him in the academy in 1983. That generosity continued even after he fell ill. Don and I went off to lunch at a nearby restaurant. I didn't know how many more such lunches there would be. What Don wanted to talk about was our new First-Year Legal Skills Program. We had hired Anne Goldstein to design it. The design was a big challenge because it would involve 15 full-time professors giving hands-on help to the entire first-year class, and lots of long-time professors had opinions. In hearing Don talk, I saw that he believed deeply in Anne and the program, that he was on her side and the side of the students who would benefit from it, and that despite being ill, he was up to his elbows helping her.
Don's generosity was also evident outside the academy. He loved to help. I see marks of his help in my daily life. I open the door of my house and see a flower garden, which he designed. I open my favorite cookbook, which he recommended. I pick a tomato from one of my tomato plants, which is thriving because he suggested strategies to stave off the dreaded tomato wilts.
A week
ago, as I was preparing these remarks, I saw a dish of tomatoes on the
dining room table. This year's tomato vines had finally succumbed to
the wilts and the cold. These were the last of their tomatoes. Today those
tomatoes are gone. What is left is the memory of Don's generosity,
and the source from which it came—love.
Remembrance from Christine Mooney, Class of 2006
Many of the staff at the Law School did not know the
Professor Zeigler who entered our class each night. Professor Zeigler was
the Evidence instructor for the Evening Division students of the Class of
Twice a week we had the privilege of witnessing his
amazing abilities. Class always began promptly as he arrived looking like
he stepped out of a Brooks Brothers catalog accompanied by his suspenders.
Each class meeting brought laughter and a new legal principle. The Federal
Rules of Evidence could never be the same after listening to his
distinctions between FR 608 and FR 609. The depth with which he immersed
his entire audience in the subject matter was utterly amazing. There was
never an unanswered question, nor a student for whom he did not go the
extra mile. Professor Zeigler exemplified the excellence of teaching.
I am a full-time member of the faculty for the City University of
New York. My memories of Professor Zeigler, his passion for the law, and
his unwavering ability to make our class the best place to be, make me
want to be the same teacher for my students today. Professor Zeigler
taught us to embrace all aspects of the law, most importantly, the manner
in which you teach others the law!
His presence will be deeply
missed, but his guiding principles will live on through the many students
whose lives he touched at New York Law School.

When Did ESPN Lose Its Journalistic Integrity?
When exactly did ESPN lose its journalistic integrity? It's a difficult question to answer, but one that certainly needs to be asked in light of the Bruce Feldman fiasco. Granted, trying to sort through the answer to this question is an exercise more suited for an educated journalism professor or the Poynter Institute instead of a sports fan who's a grad student in chemistry. Although, I will spare you ten minutes reading Poynter's response to the situation by summing it up in one word... weak. Our own Ben Koo took down Poynter's lame response in grand style yesterday.
In fact, any critique of ESPN, either by bloggers or their own ombudsman, may be entirely fruitless. Attempting any criticism of ESPN at this point is like attacking a battleship with a BB Gun. Quite simply, ESPN is a monopoly sports fans can't live without. Many are of the mindset that we as fans should just accept ESPN's faults and learn to live with them, no matter how glaring they grow by the day.
But, stop to consider what we've been through the last several days. Even though the #FreeBruce revolution on Twitter will quickly be forgotten, ESPN sat (we can play semantics all we want) a man with supreme journalistic integrity for merely doing a job he'd already been approved to do. So why the "enforced period of inactivity?" Apparently because writer Bruce Feldman helped confirm the worst fears about fellow ESPNer Craig James and shed light on the shady practices of supposed straight news reporter Joe Schad. As if the "suspension" alone weren't bad enough though, ESPN's lame PR statement failed to hide their mistakes throughout the Mike Leach story.
Apparently, ESPN and Poynter would like all of us to get caught up in the semantics of the word suspension and feel guilty for being bad bloggers by spreading mean, nasty rumors. And while no amount of blog posts, boycotts, and hashtags will make a sizable dent in what's left of the mothership's appearance of integrity, we as sports fans have a right to examine the credibility gap now present at ESPN. Ask yourself, how long will it take to fully believe ESPN again when it reports the news? How long should your skepticism last? If the lessons of #FreeBruce aren't forgotten within our ADHD 24-hour news cycle, the credibility gap between ESPN and its viewers should be permanently at the forefront of fans' minds...

UNION — The candidates for the position of USC Union campus dean have been narrowed down to two.
The University of South Carolina has narrowed the selection of the next USC Union campus dean down to two final candidates — Alice T. Colbert and David E. Fitz.
Colbert is currently associate vice president for academic affairs and professor of history at Lander University in Greenwood.
Fitz is currently the interim dean of the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville in Titusville, Pa.
USC Union has not had a permanent campus dean since the resignation of Dr. Hugh Rowland in March 2010. Dr. Stephen Lowe has served as interim campus dean since July 1, 2010, and will continue to do so until a new permanent dean is hired.
USC Palmetto College Vice Provost Chris Plyler said interviews are scheduled through March and April on the Union and Columbia campuses. The appointment of a permanent dean is anticipated in late spring.

Vol. XXI, No. 2 February 6, 1950 TEAMS RECEIVE LETTERS New Campus Cf course everyone is conscious of the progres being made in the two new dormitories on the Agri-cultural Campus. They are the first of several buildings which are to be constructed in the next three years under the Industrial- Technical Program. The "L" shaped dormitories will flank each side of existing Dorm-itory Four on the southern end of the dormitory quadrangle and will accomodate 110 men each. The two story brick buildings will consist of fifty 9x12' rooms, shower rooms and lounges. Plans for rooms include double deck beds which will allow stu-dents more rocm for closets, dres-sers and desks. The buildings are now nearly completed up to the second floor, are expected to be completed by June, 1950. It is hoped that students in the Industrial-Technical Campus will share the rooms of the new dorm-itores when the fall sesmester opens in an effort to bring the two Campuses closer together. Among other buildings to be erected on the proposed Industrial- Technical Campus will be a $3,500,0C0 Shop and Laboratory Building, an Administration-Class-room- Library Building, a Gym-nasium- Auditorium Building and a Heating Plant. Work on the new Campus is expected to begin this fall. Spot Training Our senior dental hygiene stu-dents are really going to town on cleaning teeth. They have a pro-gram set up in Grumman Aircraft plant, the Hicksville schools, the Holtsville sanitorium and will soon start in at Meadowbrook Hospital. Experience is the best teacher and that's what they're getting. I bet you didn't know there is almost as many night school stu-dents as in the day time. In the current evening course program, instructions are being given in 51 subjects. ASSEMBLY The January 18th assembly pro-gram began in the usual way and rapidly improved with the intro-duction of Mr. Willenbrock. Our Guidance Director casually men-tioned that the.e was a wide spread but erronious rumor cir-culating that guidance people were inclined to be long winded. In thirty minutes time Mr. Willen-brock attempted to disprove this. He did, however, present the re-sults of a very interesting survey that has just been completed re-garding the placement of the past two year's graduates from the Tech Division. This survey went into type of employment, location and wages which brought forth a real spark of interest from several hundred broke Seniors. The pre-sentation was made graphic by the use of a new machine called the Vu-graph. A group of Seniors then attempted, by way of two short skits, to portray interview technique. This was done bv using a good and bad example. Bob Christman stole the show as the ultimate in poor examples and John Cowie was his counterpart. Larry Crinklow was the distin-guished employer with John How-ard as his unspoken mind. Barbara Cropsey played the part of the secretary and Mickey Jones was her unspoken mind. The skit was under the able direction of Mr. Wallace and Mr. Hallahan. The Assembly was then thrown open to questions but since the skits had been so well done there did not seem to be any except from members of the cast NOTE There are still many students using the parking areas without a parking permit. This is a vio-lation of school regulations. Some car operators are indifferent to parking signs are cause inconven-ience to others.

Mr. Neville will attend a meet-ing of the New York State Soil Conservation Society of America, Monday and Tuesday, January 30 and 31st in Ithaca. The topic will be "Economic Aspects of Soil and Water Conservation". Some speak-ers will be J. K. Pasto who will speak on "Economics of Conserv-ing Land Resources"; Hugh Cos-line whose subject is "Conservation Policies and Practices as I See Them"; and J. L. McGush who will talk on "Saver's Work In Il-linois on Economics of Soil Con-servation". It should prove to be a very interesting program. Mr. Neville also attended the Seed and Fertilizer Dealer's ®on-ference, Thursday, January 26, 1950. This was held in Knapp Hall. Mr. Neville and Dr. Walter Jacob of the Vegetable Research Farm on Long Island spoke on "Weed Control Chemicals". Dr. Eichman was a member of the panel discuss on on "Vegetable Problems in the Cold Frame" at the Seed and Fertilizer Dealer's Conierence. Did you know that on Friday and Saturday, January 27 and 28 about 20 to 25 teachers from both campuses attended a State Uni-versity symposium conference at Buffalo? Among them were Mr. Amidon, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Ray-maley, Mr. Hallock, Mr. Foote, Mr. Wedell, Mr. Roesch, Mr. Bow-man, Mr. James and Director Knapp. This symposium is the first meeting of representatives from the colleges and two-yeai* institutes which make up the State Univehsity. operation is corrected. Anyone without a permit should apply to Mrs. F. Schafer in the office immediately. There is no charge for a permit. The week of January IG saw both the football and soccer majoi letters awarded in the assembly. Eighteen men from both cam-puses received their varsity letters for soccer. Ihey were: Richard Andre, Louis Carlsen, Mark Costello, Halloch Dean, Allan Dickerson, John Elston, George Fitzgerald, Sergia Garcia, Robert Grogan, John Howard, Louis Klen-kel, James Maney, Louis Martinez, Albrier Moller, Seth Morgan, Sey-mour Rotter and Robert Schecter. Norman Williams also received a letter for acting ls manager. A total of 24 membei-s of the 1949 Aggie football team received their letters. They were: W. Arnaiz, R. Brown, H. Booker, D. Brogdon, E. Butan, J. Canino, R. Carter, J. Dohei'ty, D. Ecker, D. Gagliardo, C. Grampp, C. Hof-fer, B. Jones, L. Morgan, J. Naber, J. O'Brien, J. Parini, H. Pfau, J. Ransom, A. Russo, ' S. Schiff, H. Schweickhardt, T. Sadowski, F. Thomas. D. Putnam and L. Hut-welker also received letters for team manager and trainer-mana-ger, respectively. Department News The Mechanical Department is machining the large magnet and coil components of a small cyclo-tron being built at Hofstra College. When the cyclotron is completed it will be used to show effects s.milar to that experienced on larger machines; this is an ex-perimental model of a full-scale model which will be built later. On Jan. 23, students interested in Radiogrophy (X-ray) of non ferrous materials are invited to attend a meeting at the Engineer-ing Societies Bldg., 29 West 39th Street, New York, 7:45 P. M. Cars will leave at S:00 P. M. from the school. In case of an emergency it becomes necessary to move cars. A permit number makes it pos-sible to immediately identify the operator of the car in question. For the benefit of all, kindly comply with the regulations.
