Priests for Life Outreach-Staten Island, NY
Staten Island, NY - Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, issued the following statement upon hearing this morning of the killing of abortionist George Tiller:
"I am saddened to hear of the killing of George Tiller this morning. At this point, we do not know the motives of this act, or who is behind it, whether an angry post-abortive man or woman, or a misguided activist, or an enemy within the abortion industry, or a political enemy frustrated with the way Tiller has escaped prosecution. We should not jump to conclusions or rush to judgment.
"But whatever the motives, we at Priests for Life continue to insist on a culture in which violence is never seen as the solution to any problem. Every life has to be protected, without regard to their age or views or actions."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

I have my DUPR for next Saturday 10/8 at Roaring Brook. Has anyone used the new system its says that DUPR's are excepted until 7:05am then they give away spaces on first come first serve basis. Since I've never been here i was wondering if there will be line of cars that I should just pass to get to gate with my DUPR, I don't want to wait in line only to realize i shouldn't have, how much earlier should I arrive to ensure entrance?
This strictness is freaking me out a tad I don't want to drive so far and not get in

According to Sanofi CEO Chris Viehbacher, while the French drug giant is still on the prowl for innovative products to beef up its pipeline, it would prefer to partner rather than acquire.
Sanofi recently bought Cambridge, Mass.-based Genzyme in a high-profile biotech deal valued at around $20 billion.
"I think, especially given the nature of biotech companies, you're much better off doing partnerships. Genzyme was kind of an exceptional situation," Viehbacher told reporters at the Boston College CEO's Club luncheon in Boston on Tuesday.
Viehbacher said that in particular, Sanofi is interested in either acquiring or partnering for drugs targeted at the consumer health and diabetes markets. The drug maker is also keen on building out Genzyme's pipeline of therapies to treat rare diseases and multiple sclerosis, or MS.
Viehbacher appeared surprised, however, when he was asked if Sanofi would consider a bid for MS specialist Biogen Idec , which is also based in Cambridge.
"I'm not going to make any comment on a specific target, but that one surprises me," he said.
One area Sanofi isn't interested in adding onto is vaccines, where it already has a substantial presence. The company also isn't very interested in buying Pfizer's animal-health business, Viehbacher said, largely because of Sanofi's recent difficulties in launching an animal-health venture with Merck . Sanofi and Merck were forced to dump the project last March after facing considerable resistance from anti-trust regulators on both sides of the Atlantic.

Mahmoud al-Zahar (Arabic: محمود الزهار Maḥmūd az-Zahhār) (born 1945) is a co-founder of Hamas and a member of the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip. Since the formation of the Hamas/"Change and Reform" government in the Palestinian National Authority in March 2006, al-Zahar has served as foreign minister in the government of prime minister Ismail Haniyeh. Prior to that he was seen as a major candidate among the Hamas members elected to the Palestinian Legislative Council for prime minister, as he was at that time the most senior official within the organization. al-Zahar's son, a member of the Hamas military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was killed in an Israeli raid in Gaza on January 5, 2008.
Little is known about al-Zahar's early life beyond the report that he was born to a Palestinian father and an Egyptian mother.
At the age of 26, he graduated from the Cairo University Faculty of Medicine and five years later he got his Masters Degree in General Surgery from Ain Shams University, Cairo. He then became the adviser to the Palestinian Health Minister, and helped create the Palestinian Medical Society and was one of the primary founders of the Islamic University in Gaza in 1978.

Appearing somewhere around 2007, Jeep Brah made his grand appearance on the internet and almost instantly gained meme status.

The home of serial killer Anthony Sowell has been demolished.
It took crews around two hours to completely tear down the Imperial Avenue house.
Trucks are now on site to haul away the debris. Once filled, the trucks will be led by police escort - to prevent tampering - to a Garfield Heights recycling plant. The debris will be immediately shredded as to prevent anyone from gaining any type of memento from the mass murder site.
51-year-old Sowell was sentenced to death for the murder of eleven women between June 2007 and September 2009.The victims' remains were found inside and outside of Sowell's Imperial Avenue home in Cleveland.
The city had been working through a legal process to make preparations for the demolition.
"It should have been down, long time ago," said Lavon Williams. "Everything in there should be destroyed and sent to a landfill. I've seen people take stuff out of there last couple of weeks. I wouldn't want none of it in my house."
Relatives of victims were notified by hand delivered letter on Monday.
"In order to prevent actions that would be disrespectful to the memory of your loved one, your family and our community; the demolition will be performed in such a way that no piece of the property will remain."
The property is owned by Sowell's family, who will be billed for the demolition work. If it's not paid, a lien will be placed on the property.
As of now, Sowell's execution date is set for October 29th, 2012.

A grand jury indictment unsealed against Joseph Beer, 17, of South Richmond Hill, charges him with Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Manslaughter in the First Degree, four counts of Manslaughter in the Second Degree, four counts of Vehicular Manslaughter in the Second Degree, Driving While Intoxicated-Drugs, Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree, Reckless Driving, and Unlicensed Operation of a Vehicle.
He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in First District Court, Hempstead.
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said that at approximately 3:35 a.m. on October 8, Beer was driving a 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STI westbound on the Southern State Parkway at speeds estimated at more than 110 miles per hour when he lost control approaching Exit 17. Beer was unable to negotiate a curve in the road at the bottom of a rise and left the roadway, crashing into the trees along the parkway.
Darian Ramnarine, 18, of Inwood; Peter Kanhai, 18, of South Ozone Park; Neal Rajapa, 17, of South Ozone Park; and Christopher Kahn, 18, of Ozone Park died in the accident. All of them were thrown from the vehicle.
Beer, who only possessed a learner's permit and was not permitted to be driving between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., suffered minor injuries.
The impact of the crash ripped the vehicle in half, with the front half of the car located 20 feet away from the impact site.
Analysis of a blood sample taken from Beer two hours after the crash tested positive for marijuana.
"The sheer magnitude of this tragedy is unthinkable, and it could have easily been avoided if this defendant had simply made the right choice to drive sober and drive safely," Rice said. "Instead, we have four promising young lives cut short, another young man facing years in prison, and families that will forever be torn apart by this horrific crash."
Beer's parents, Patricia and Aaditia Beer, were charged with Unlicensed Operation of a Vehicle for knowingly allowing their son to drive without a license. They each face up to 15 days in jail and a fine of $300.

Samsung and Apple have been globally making the rounds with various lawsuits and injunctions against specific products. The two manufacturers' various patent disputes have run the gamete, ranging from infringements over marketing materials to product sizes. But now we may have reached the final frontier of these legal entanglements: Samsung claims that Apple has violated some up-until-now unmentioned patents regarding emoticons. The manufacturer is lobbying four new lawsuits against Apple that relate to the WCDMA standard for 3G, one of which includes Samsung taking Apple to court over emoticon display.
The suit was filed in Germany, and according to Reuters, these new claims will be separate from litigation from last April.
Apparently Samsung will challenge the way in which iPhones enter emoticons on the handset's screen. The two tech giants have been involved in an escalating war, which Samsung was at the mercy of when its Galaxy Tab tablet sales were blocked in Australia. The injunction has since been lifted, and Samsung's attempts to block the iPhone 4S have been unsuccessful.
This new suit, while ridiculous-sounding on the surface, will probably just act as fuel for Apple to follow up with its own new patent claims. It's starting to feel like these companies are grasping at straws, looking for untouched territory they can leverage as patented. What Apple will retaliate with we can't say, but at the moment it would appear Samsung has been taking a legal bruising. It could use a win in this series of court appearances.

Java lovers, take heart. A large prospective study suggests that – far from being bad for your health – that steaming cuppa is actually associated with a lower risk of death.
Analysis of a large prospective study of more than 400,000 people found that men who drank four to five cups of coffee daily reduced their risk of death over a 13-year period by 12%, while women's risk dropped by 16%, according to Neal Freedman, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute, and colleagues.
The inverse associations were seen for deaths due to heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections, but not for deaths due to cancer, the researchers found.
On the other hand, a suite of other behaviors that often go hand-in-hand with coffee drinking – smoking, lack of exercise, and poor diet – usually combine to mask the benefit, the researchers noted in the May 17 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
Freedman and colleagues cautioned that the study could not prove that coffee is good for you.
"It may be that there's something that goes along with coffee-drinking that's affecting our results that we couldn't take into account in our analysis," Freedman told MedPage Today.
But, together with previous research, he said, the findings provide "some reassurance that coffee drinkers don't have a higher risk of death (and suggest) that there might be some benefit from drinking coffee."
Indeed, the findings are not surprising, according to Frank Hu, MD, PhD, of the Harvard School of Public Health, who was senior author on a 2008 study that also found an apparent benefit for coffee drinking.
"All the evidence is coming together to indicate a potential health benefit of regular coffee consumption," Hu told MedPage Today.
The only way to prove the benefit exists, Hu said, would be to conduct a large randomized trial, but such a study "may not be feasible" because it would need too many participants.
In the meantime, a large prospective cohort, such as the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study analyzed by Freedman and colleagues, provides the "best available evidence."
The NIH-AARP cohort has been running since 1995 and includes 229,119 men and 173,141 women who were 50 to 71 when the study started. Over the period from 1995 through 2008, Freedman and colleagues reported, 33,731 men and 18,784 women died.
In an analysis that only took age into account, coffee consumption was associated with an increased risk of death, they reported.
But coffee drinkers were also more likely to smoke, to eat more red meat and fewer fruits and vegetables, to drink alcohol, and to have less vigorous physical activity.
When those factors were taken into account, Freedman and colleagues found, coffee emerged as being inversely associated with all-cause mortality, as well as a range of major causes of death.
Compared with non-drinkers, there was little effect for those who drank some coffee, but less than a cup a day. But for more coffee, the odds of death dropped significantly. Specifically:
- For those who drank one cup a day, the odds ratios for death were 0.94 for men and 0.95 for women (95% CI 0.90 to 0.99 and 0.90 to 1.01, respectively).
- For two or three cups a day, the odds ratios for death were 0.90 for men and 0.87 for women (95% CI 0.86 to 0.93 and 0.83 to 0.92, respectively).
- For four or five cups a day, the odds ratios for death were 0.88 for men and 0.84 for women (95% CI 0.84 to 0.93 and 0.79 to 0.90, respectively).
- And for six or more cups a day, the odds ratio for death were 0.90 for men and 0.85 for women (95% CI 0.85 to 0.96 and 0.78 to 0.93, respectively).
- For both men and women the trend was significant at P<0.001.
While most of the outcomes showed a benefit for coffee, "the effect was modest," Freedman said.
Indeed, other experts said other behavioral changes are likely to be more useful than drinking more coffee.
"Based on this study alone, I would not tell people to start drinking more coffee to lower their risk of death," said Lona Sandon, RD, of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
"There are other things with bigger impact on mortality that they probably should be doing," Sandon said in an email to MedPage Today and ABC News.
Freedman told MedPage Today that people should consult their physicians before making a change - or not - in their diet.
Sandon also questioned one of the acknowledged limitations of the study -- that the coffee consumption was measured only at the beginning. "It is possible that their coffee-drinking habits changed over the 12 years of the study," she said.
Again Freedman agreed, but noted that other studies have shown that coffee drinking as a part of diet is relatively stable over time.
The bottom line, Sandon said, is to "stop smoking, be more physically active, eat your fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats, and a little coffee doesn't appear to hurt."
The study is well done and the conclusions are supported by the data, argued Peter McCullough, MD, of the St. John Providence Health System in Detroit.
In an email to MedPage Today and ABC News, McCullough noted that even decaffeinated coffee appeared to be beneficial - "good news" for people who like coffee but fear caffeine.
But he and others called for a deeper understanding of the complex mix of compounds found in coffee.
"If you are not a coffee drinker, this study is not a good enough reason to start," commented Cheryl Williams, RD, of Emory Heart & Vascular Center in Atlanta.
Williams said in an email to MedPage Today and ABC News that she's not confident coffee is truly beneficial, given that other factors might also play a role in the outcomes reported by Freedman and colleagues.
"Overall," she said, "more research needs to be done to truly understand the compounds in coffee (including those unknown) and their biological activity and effect on health."

Lawmaster: And what do you think I should do at this point solider?
Solider: If I were you my majesty, I would use stealth, the general is a good fighter but he is out of experience, missions require more than brute force anymore.
Lawmaster: How would I go about this?
Solider: You could send a specialized squad into the nearest military base from that battle. More than likely any survivors would be there.
Lawmaster: Well then, I suggest you pick you squad wisely.
Solider: Sir?
Lawmaster: Congratulation on your promotion Mr....
Solider: James.
Lawmaster: You have 48 hours to pick your squad and depart James, I expect success or body bags.

McCABE RESIGNS AS ASSISTANT FOOTBALL AND ASSISTANT LACROSSE COACH
LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee assistant football
and assistant men's lacrosse coach Gene McCabe has resigned to accept
a position at Hamilton College. McCabe will serve as the Continentals'
head men's lacrosse coach and will assist the football team.
"My family is very excited about this opportunity,"
said McCabe. However, it is almost bitter sweet because my time at Washington
and Lee has been very rewarding. Working with outstanding coaches, administrators
and athletes at W&L has been an invaluable experience and has prepared
me to move on as a head coach. My family and I extremely appreciative
and take with us many fond memories."
"Gene McCabe has been an outstanding coach in two
sports while at Washington and Lee University," said Mike Walsh,
W&L's Director of Athletics. "He has been an integral part
of the successes in our men's lacrosse and football programs. Additionally,
his work in establishing the Academic Liaison Program for prospective
athletes and his coordination of the Safe Drive Program speak to his
commitment to all aspects of a student's life. We will miss Gene and
wish him every success at Hamilton College."
A 1995 graduate of Bates College, McCabe arrived at W&L in July of 1998 following two years as the head football and lacrosse coach at Oak Hill High School in Wales, Maine. In his time at W&L, McCabe helped lead the men's lacrosse team to a 43-5 overall record and two Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championships.
The Generals advanced to NCAA Division III Tournaments,
finishing as a National Semifinalist during the 2000 season.
"Gene is one of the bright young coaches in college
lacrosse," said W&L Head Lacrosse Coach Mike Cerino. "It
will be a great loss that we don't have him on the sidelines this season.
We do wish him, however, all the success at Hamilton College in the
In four years as an offensive backfield coach and recruiting
coordinator for the football team, McCabe aided in the development of
W&L's all-time leaders in passing (Christian Batcheller), receiving
(J.T. Malatesta) and rushing (Marc Watson).
McCabe begins his appointment at Hamilton the second week of January.

The Foothills Cuisine of Blackberry Farm by Sam Beall
You may not think you know foothills cuisine, but you really do. This is the homey, soul-satisfying, belly-filling food that takes the best and freshest foods of the season and puts them on our plate. We're talking green tomato pie and lamb meatballs with green garlic, roasted peaches and brook trout with grits. The dishes in this book come from the kitchens of Blackberry Farm, lauded as one of the country's finest farm-to-table restaurants. There, foothill cuisine isn't just a collection of recipes — it's truly a way of life.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Sam Beall with Marah Stets
• Who published it: Clarkson Potter
• Number of recipes: Eight different menus with 3-5 recipes in each section, along with 4 sections on artisan techniques (cheese making, gardening, preserving, and butchery)
• Recipes for right now: Red-Eye Brined Smoked Pork Loin, Seckle Pears with Black Walnuts, Duck and Dumplings with Poached Eggs, Meat Loaf and Roasted Plum Tomatoes, Chocolate Nut Chunk Cookies
• Other highlights: I really really love how this book is arranged around menus, which in turn reflect each passing season. To me, this changes the whole focus of the cookbook: instead of looking at lists of ingredients, I am thinking about how to put together a meal, who I would invite, and how great it will be to eat together. The menus put the individual recipes in context. I can see how the flavors play off each other, sometimes complimenting and sometimes contrasting. It makes the meal dynamic and interesting.
I have never eaten at Blackberry Farms, but if sitting down at their tables is anything like sitting down with this book, it's going on my bucket list.
• Who would enjoy this book?

Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia in the pediatric age: clinical pictures and results of surgery tailored on different subgroups in 80 cases
Search Medline for
|May 30, 2008
Objective: There are still many discussions about surgery for Chiari I Malformation (CM) and Syringomyelia in children, both on indications and on surgical technique.
Methods: The present study concerns 80 children operated for CM at the National Neurological Institute of Milan between 1986 and 2007. Age at time of surgery ranged from 1 up to 17 years (mean 11). Preoperative MR was performed in every case and extended on the whole neuraxis to role out associated malformations. All the patients had symptoms before surgery, in the 60%due to the associated syringomyelia; headache and nystagmus prevailed in the pure CM; 4 children presented fluctuating acute paraparesis, before surgery that regressed afterwards. 7 cases had an associated developmental and behavioral disorder with macroencephalia. A small subgroup had an associated craniostenotic pattern.
The surgical treatment was chosen on the basis of the "pathogenetic" subgroup. The "adult" CM were submitted to "classical" decompression with dural patch; in the "craniostenotic" subtype limited osseous CVD was performed. An arachnoidal opening and tonsillar resection, was reserved for "megaloencephalic" patients and reoperations due to failure of the less invasive procedures.
Results: There were no major surgical morbidity and no mortality. The preoperative symptoms improved more in this pediatric series than in the adult cases treated at our Institution in the same period; an explanation could be the shorter duration of symptoms. In our hands, the results of the limited extradural decompression were poor. In "megaloencephalic" CM an unexpected neuropsychiatric improvement was observed after tonsillar resection. The associated Syringomyelia reduced in more than 80% of children and disappeared in a significant number.
Conclusions: Children may present peculiar picture of CM, like syncope and acute paraparesis. The clinical Symptoms are often more serious than in the adult population, but the results of surgery, especially on the syrinx, are better.

Java applications can ask the garbage collector to run by calling the
System.gc() method. Generally, this is a bad idea: the garbage collector is designed to run with good performance without intervention from your application. In fact, forcing the garbage collector to run unnecessarily can degrade performance significantly.
System.gc() is called, output similar to the following appears in your

System.gc() because it is contained within a
<sys> stanza.
Because sometimes calls to
System.gc() originate from within third-party code that you don't have control over, IBM provide the
-Xdisableexplicitgc option which disables calls to
System.gc() so they are ignored by the garbage collector. If you are using code containing lots of
System.gc() calls which are affecting performance, and you can't change that code, we recommend using the
-Xdisableexplicitgc option.
I was recently contacted by a customer who had set the
-Xdisableexplicitgc option, but still saw a
<sys> stanza in their
-verbose:gc output. Once we had worked out the reason why, I thought others might be interested in how this can be the case.
It turned out that an additional JVM option had been specified:
This option tells the JVM to write a heapdump file to disk when SIGQUIT is sent to the JVM. By default, we write a javacore file — this option makes us write a heapdump as well.
When we write a heapdump, by default we run a full garbage collection beforehand. The reason we do this is to remove all un-referenced objects from the heap, so the heapdump only contains live objects. This makes analysing the heapdump easier, and has the nice side-effect of making the heapdump file itself smaller.
This garbage collection appears in the
-verbose:gc output. And because it's a "forced" GC (triggered because a heapdump is being taken) it appears as a
<sys> stanza, despite the fact that
-Xdisableexplicitgc is specified.

For those of you not familiar with the (cvs, svn, git, ...) family of software, these are versioning systems that (generally speaking) maintain a repository of your files, allow you to check files out, make local changes, and check them back in, simultaneously with others who might be editing other files in the same directory, or even the same file itself.
This is perfect come paper writing time. Rather than passing around tokens, or copies of tex files, (or worse, zip files containing images etc), you just check the relevant files into a repository and your collaborator(s) can check them out at leisure. SVN is particularly good at merging files and identifying conflicts, making it easy to fix things.
My setup for SVN works like this: Each research project has a directory containing four subdirectories. Two are easy to explain: one is a "trunk" directory where all the draft documents go, and another is an "unversioned" directory for storing all relevant papers (I keep these separate so that when you're checking out the trunk, you don't need to keep downloading the papers that get added in)
The other two come in handy for maintaining multiple versions of the current paper. The 'branches' directory is what I use when it comes close to submission deadline time, and the only changes that need to be made are format-specific, or relate to shrinking text etc. The 'tags' directory is a place to store frozen versions of a paper (i.e post-submission, post-final version, arxiv-version, journal version, etc etc)
It seems complicated, but it works quite well. The basic workflow near deadline time is simply "check out trunk; make changes, check in trunk; repeat...". A couple of things make the process even smoother:
- Providing detailed log messages when checking in a version: helps to record what exactly has changed from version to version - helpful when a collaborator needs to know what edits were made.
- Configuring SVN to send email to the participants in a project whenever changes are committed. Apart from the subtle social engineering ("Oh no ! they're editing, I need to work on the paper as well now!"), it helps keep everyone in sync, so you know when updates have been made, and who made them.
- Having a separate directory containing all the relevant tex style files. Makes it easy to add styles, conference specific class files etc.
I can't imagine going back to the old ways now that I have SVN. It's made writing papers with others tremendously streamlined.
- SVN isn't ideal for collaborations across institutions. Much of my current work is with local folks, so this isn't a big problem, but it can be. Versioning software like git works better for distributed sharing, from what I understand.
