Introduction to History of Art
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
My education included almost no art whatsoever.
Can you recommend a good (short, simple, readable, accurate) book to get me started exploring this area?
Thank you!0
One of the absolute best introductions to art is not a book but rather a documentary series called Simon Schama's The Power of Art. The show goes above and beyond a simple linear historical narrative. It was produced by the BBC and deconstructs eight works of art and their accompanying historical context. There is an accompanying book of the same name that I haven't read, but I have heard is a useful addition.
The Power of Art is NOT a generalist introduction to the subject, but one that is selective in its focus to argue for the importance of art through history.
When I took a lot of art history in college (6 or 7 classes that covered 5,000 years of the stuff, with my favorite covering 18th and 19th century American Art ) the classes that were most successful were ones that sought to describe why art was meaningful, why it could be seen as a reflection of the culture of its creation. Part of this was driven by my desire as an artist to figure out why art mattered. This meant fewer facts, and a greater appreciation for historical and cultural context.
Janson's History of Art has long been the standard issue Art History 101 textbook, with good reason; it's thorough, accessible and nicely, voluminously illustrated.

A semipermeable row of plants will shelter the ground behind it for a distance 20 times the height of the plants – whether they are 10 inches or 200 feet tall. For example, a shelterbelt of 60-foot poplars with a shrubbery understory will protect the soil downwind for 1,200 feet – regardless of windspeed. — Pierce Butler, Natchez, Mississippi

How you refuel for your recovery during marathon and half marathon training can make the difference in the way you feel and perform during your next workout. More than 20 studies support the benefits of recovering with the high-quality protein and nutrients in lowfat chocolate milk after a tough workout.
As a registered dietitian and Team CHOCOLATE MILK expert, here are a few trustworthy tips that are backed by science for proper recovery after all of your training sessions.
- After exercise, your body wants an adequate supply of :
- Protein to reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate growth
- Carbohydrates to refuel depleted muscle glycogen
- Fluid and electrolytes to rehydrate the body to replenish what's lost in sweat
- Plan ahead so you can eat well by having the right foods readily available at the right times. You cannot out-train a poor sports diet!
- If your training session will exceed 60 to 90 minutes, make sure to consume some fuel during the exercise to help maintain your energy! Popular mid-workout snacks include dried pineapple, (or other dried fruit) gels and electrolyte drinks, and sports performance gummy candy. Experiment during training to learn what works best with your body.
- What you eat after you work out is just as important as what you eat beforehand! Having a post-exercise recovery routine can enhance your performance at your next workout session, help reduce the risk of injury and boost your overall well-being as an athlete. Lowfat chocolate milk is a popular and effective recovery food and tastes yummy!
- As you know, your muscles get damaged during strenuous training sessions. Drinking lowfat chocolate milk after hard workouts gives your body high-quality protein with all the essential amino acids that have been scientifically shown to help build and repair lean muscle.

Summer exhibitions at the Dishman Art Museum
The Dishman Art Museum on the campus of Lamar University will host two summer exhibitions through Aug. 10. "(An)other Face: Masks from the Collection of Dr. William Brown" opens Friday, May 27, in the Upper Gallery, and "He Said/She Said: They Spoke with One Voice, Figurative Works by David and Patty Cargill," starts Friday, June 3, in the Lower Gallery. Both shows open with a reception at 7 p.m.
"(An)other Face" features painted wooden masks from the world travels of the late Dr. William (Bill) Brown (1920 – 2009), former director of counseling and professor of psychology services at Texas State University in San Marcos. The collection includes 77 masks from such countries as Indonesia, Mexico, Guatemala, Libya, New Guinea and Japan.
"The exhibition offers a glimpse into a fascinating era in modern art as well as giving viewers a sense of the artistic traditions of various world cultures," said Jessica Dandona, art historian and director of the Dishman Art Museum. "Masks from non-Western regions like Africa were, of course, important influences on the work of artists like Pablo Picasso and the German Expressionists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner."
Mask-making is an important art form in many cultures, Dandona explained, including tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, Africa, South America and the Pacific. Masks are often used in religious rituals or the performance of plays and other events.
Dr. Brown moved to Beaumont upon retirement, where he set up a part-time counseling practice. The collection was a bequest to the Dishman by Dr. Brown, in honor of his wife Dorothy Forristall, who worked for the College of Education and Human Development at Lamar for many years. Most of the masks in the collection date from the 20th century but reflect centuries-old artistic traditions.
"He Said/She Said: They Spoke with One Voice, Figurative Works by David and Patty Cargill," is the first exhibition of works featuring the Beaumont couple together, with highlights drawn from their 60 years of marriage and artistic collaboration. The show will include charcoal sketches, oil paintings, terracotta and bronze sculptures, and works in other media, produced between 1950 and 2011.
David and Patty met when they were both studying at the Pratt Institute in New York in 1948. The couple moved to Beaumont in 1951, so this exhibition also commemorates their 60 years of dedication to the city and surrounding region.
"David Cargill's work has in many ways helped define the public face of Beaumont. Sculptures by David can be found all over town, including the campus of Lamar University, the Civic Center, and the Art Museum of Southeast Texas," said Dandona. "David's signature style, which encompasses both the muscular, rounded forms of a sculptor like Henry Moore and fluid shapes reminiscent of the work of Constantin Brancusi, serves as an interesting foil to Patty's more delicate and often quite colorful sketches, portraits, and figure studies. Yet the two artists share a common fascination with exploring not only the lines and shapes of the human form, but also the affective ties that bind mother and daughter, husband and wife, and loved ones of all ages. Also shared is their dedication to their faith and to creating works that honor their spiritual as well as their artistic side. The Dishman Art Museum is honored to show the work of two artists who have done so much to support the arts in Beaumont and who have had such an impact on their local community."
Light refreshments will be served at the receptions on May 27 and June 3. The exhibitions will run through Aug. 10. Admission to the receptions and the exhibitions is free.
The Dishman Art Museum is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is located at 1030 East Lavaca, Beaumont, Texas. Free museum-dedicated parking is available in front of the Dishman during museum hours. Call (409) 880-8959 for more information or visit lamar.edu/dishman.

Recovered from the holidays, Xav and Jeff join Garnett for the first Weekend Confirmed of 2012. The year kicks off with a special guest in the fourth chair, prolific videogame voice actor Zach Hanks.

Local coat drive best year yet
BLACKFOOT — No one in Bingham County should have to go without a warm coat this year thanks to the success of the 6th annual 'coat drive' spearheaded by Blackfoot's "Bingham County Chiropractic." Organizers wrapped up the coat drive on Tuesday calling it "the most successful one yet."
"This was a great coat drive, better than years past," said Cari Garrett, office manager of Bingham County Chiropractic. "More businesses participated this year and we've received hundreds of clean, gently used coats and jackets."
The coats will be donated to the Bingham County Crisis Center. Dixie Chapman, executive director of the crisis center said, "The coat drive is a great way to give back to the community. So many coats were received this year that there is no reason why any man, woman or child should go without a warm coat this winter."
Organizers say that while the two-week thrust of the coat drive had ended, business sponsors of the coat drive and the Bingham County Crisis center will accept coats all year.
Sponsors of this year's coat drive are: Bingham County Chiropractic, Advanced Eye Care, Barnes Physical Therapy and Gold's Gym.

Such cracks are known as "offline attacks" because they target the hashes leaked as a result of a database compromise, allowing the person who recovers the hashes to try an unlimited number of guesses until the correct plaintext passwords are found. Once the underlying credentials are revealed, a hacker can use them to compromise the online account they secure.
This makes no sense. If the attacker has comprised the login database, they already have access to the online account that database controls access to.
This entire series of articles has been seriously flawed in that it has never clearly explained the threat that offline attacks pose to end users, [snip]
What if party A compromises the database and releases the list of credentials to Party B? Party B can perform the offline attack but does not have access to the information behind the login (well, yet).
Party A has access to everything. Why are you more worried about Party B than Party A?
I'm not sure how that's unclear. From the very portion you quoted, it lets attackers make unlimited attempts, thus bypassing any "three strikes and you're out" policies that various websites employ.
What difference does it make if the server itself is compromised? They can pull whatever they want off that.

You said that it is permissible for non-Muslim women to see a Muslim woman without hijab. I am not convinced yet, because you quoted one hadeeth which says that 'Aa'ishah appeared before a Jewish woman. I hope that you can explain the matter further, because my in-laws are not Muslim.
There is nothing wrong with a woman looking at a man; hence men, whether they are Muslim or kaafirs, net enjoined to cover their faces. Women are enjoined to cover themselves but men are not. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with a woman looking at another woman if one of them is not Muslim. That is because the prohibition on looking is due to the fear of desire being provoked, and it is well known that a woman will not be stirred by desire if she looks at another woman.
As for the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning): "It is no sin on them (the Prophet's wives, if they appear unveiled) before their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brother's sons, or the sons of their sisters, or their own women" [al-Ahzaab 33:55], the word nisa'ihinna (their own women) does not apply exclusively to believing women; rather it also includes disbelieving women. If a woman looks at a non-Muslim woman that will not result in evil, so there is nothing wrong with her looking at a non-Muslim woman, especially if she needs to meet with her, such as if she is a teacher or a doctor and so on. It would be too difficult for her to observe hijab before her or to look away from her.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Neb. lawmakers pass bill to cut early voting days
Neb. lawmakers pass bill to cut early voting days
LINCOLN, Neb. —
Nebraska lawmakers voted 33-8 to pass a measure that would leave register voters with fewer days to cast in-person early ballots.
On Thursday the Legislature gave final approval to the measure that would cut early voting days from 35 to 30 days.
Sen. Scott Lautenbaugh of Omaha introduced the bill because election officials say they need more time to program specialized voting machines used by visually impaired voters.
The 2002 Help America Vote Act requires specialized electronic voting machines to be available to assist voters with disabilities in casting their ballots privately. A Lincoln woman who is blind complained that the voting machines weren't ready when the early voting polls opened last year.

Energy secretary vows to move swiftly on LNG exports
WASHINGTON — Top Obama administration officials on Thursday pledged to lawmakers that they would move quickly but carefully in vetting new applications to export more domestic natural gas, with some final decisions coming this year.
The assurances, delivered by new Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz during a House committee hearing and by one of his top deputies in a separate meeting with lawmakers, seemed designed to calm concerns that the reviews could drag on too long, potentially jeopardizing U.S. businesses' ability to compete in a global natural gas market.
Moniz said he expects to have final decisions this year on some of the 16 pending applications to export natural gas to countries that don't have free-trade agreements with the United States.
But he said the Energy Department also will be methodical because it faces lawsuits challenging the process and any final decisions.
"The pitfalls of litigation are there, so we have to do it right," Moniz said, adding that he plans to move "expeditiously" and transparently.

Moniz, making his first appearance on Capitol Hill since being sworn in as energy secretary last month, has committed previously to look more closely at data used to evaluate the economic effects of broader natural gas exports. This led to concerns among export advocates that the application review process would slow.
The Energy Department has given two Houston-based firms, Cheniere Energy and Freeport LNG, licenses to export domestically harvested natural gas.
But the Energy Department's export license is only one step; companies also must win approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build the facilities that will liquefy natural gas for overseas transport. So far, just Houston-based Cheniere has cleared that hurdle, for its Sabine Pass terminal in southwest Louisiana.
Christopher Smith, the acting assistant secretary for fossil energy, said during a meeting Thursday with the House Natural Gas Caucus that future export decisions probably will come about every two months.
Rep. Gene Green, D-Houston, said he was impressed with Smith's presentation and walked away with "some certainty" on how the Energy Department is tackling the applications. Under a December order, the department is giving priority to evaluating proposals from applicants that have launched a prefiling process at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Some export supporters complain the administration's effort has dragged, especially since the Energy Department took a two-year timeout after approving Cheniere's license in May 2011 to study the economics of additional exports.
They say further delays jeopardize the ability of U.S. natural gas producers and liquefaction terminals to complete long-term deals with foreign customers, as Australia, Canada and other countries race to approve their own export facilities.
Critics of expanded natural gas exports — including some large industrial interests that use natural gas as both fuel and raw material — say more foreign sales could cause the domestic price to climb, increasing energy bills for manufacturing plants as well as households.

It's a bit early, of course, to pass definitive judgment on the literary legacy of the '00s, or how it stacks up against that of the 1930s, or 1850s. Who knows what will be read 50 years from now? But, with the end of the decade just a few months away, it seemed to us at The Millions a good time to pause and take stock, to call your attention to books worthy of it, and perhaps to begin a conversation.As of this writing, they haven't revealed the top two, but numbers 3-20 are there, and it's a good list -- I'm amazed, actually, at how many of them I've read all or part of. There's not a book on there I would fight vociferously against including, even if novels like Gilead aren't really to my taste (though I've used that book in a couple of classes, so I wouldn't say I hate it ... I just don't see what it seems everybody else on Earth sees in Marilynne Robinson's writing). I wouldn't arrange the books in the order arranged in the list, and actually would probably not put them in any order other than alphabetical, but that's probably true of all the contributors as well -- it's a survey. I'd also probably choose Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners over Stranger Things Happen only because "Lull" and "Stone Animals" are my favorite of Kelly's stories.
Scott Esposito has posted some interesting thoughts on the choices, and I'm sure other people have as well.
I usually can't resist lists, but if I had been asked to "name up to five books available in English with an original-language publication date no earlier than Jan. 1, 2000", I have no sure idea what I would have named. I probably would have tried for some that might otherwise not get much mention because of the various voters' lack of familiarity with them -- books, for instance, by guys named Jeff (Shriek, The Empire of Ice Cream).
Or maybe I would have gone with books that always come to my mind when I think of recent fiction that has particularly impressed me (Oh Pure & Radiant Heart, People of Paper, Octavian Nothing 1, Dark Reflections [this latter book being one that is more impressive every time I return to it -- true of the others, as well, but Dark Reflections is one that it really took me multiple reads to fully appreciate]).
Or, well, I don't know.
I just looked up M. John Harrison's Light and Things That Never Happen, the publication dates of which I couldn't remember, and they do qualify (both 2002), so one of them at least should certainly be on the list. And probably a few things I've forgotten but will remember seconds after publishing this post.
But if you're looking for some good, serious reading, you could do a lot worse than to try out the books on The Millions list.
Update (9/26/09): And the winner is ... The Corrections. Huh. Well, it's a survey, and inevitably the item most common to various lists will be safe, solid, and underwhelming.

© ® The Nobel Foundation
IPCC honoured with the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
Phone: +41-22-730-8208/84 e-mail:
Following publication of its Second Assessment Report (SAR) and on recommendation
of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice of the Conference
of the Parties, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published
its Special Report on the Regional Impacts of Climate Change in early 1998,
providing assessments of the vulnerability of natural ecosystems, socioeconomic
sectors, and human health to climate change for 10 regions of the globe (IPCC,
1998). That Special Report served as guidance material, illustrating for the
first time the potential character and magnitude of region-specific impactsthough
often in qualitative sense only, based on a diverse range of methods and tools.
A key message of the regional assessments in that report was that "many
systems and policies are not well adjusted even to today's climate and
climate variability." Several examples cited, based on information gathered
during country study and other projects, demonstrate current vulnerability in
the Asian region as a result of increasing risks to human life and property
from floods, storms, and droughts in recent decades. The report suggests that,
as a consequence of climate change, there could be a large reduction in the
area and productivity of forests in boreal Asia. In arid and semi-arid regions
of Asia, water shortagealready a limiting factor for ecosystems, food
and fiber production, human settlements, and human healthmay be exacerbated
by climate change. Limited water supplies and land degradation problems are
likely to threaten the food security of some countries in this region. Major
changes in the composition and distribution of vegetation types of semi-arid
areasfor example, grasslands, rangelands, and woodlandsare anticipated.
In temperate Asia, changes in temperature and precipitation may result in altered
growing seasons and boundary shifts between grasslands, forests, and shrublands.
An increase in temperature could lead to oxygen depletion in aquatic ecosystems,
fish diseases, and introduction of unwanted species, as well as potential negative
factors such as changes in established reproductive patterns, migration routes,
and ecosystem relationships in temperate Asia. A rise in sea level will endanger
sandy beaches in the coastal zones and add further to the problems of tectonically
and anthropogenically induced land subsidence in deltaic regions of temperate
Asia. Substantial elevational shifts of ecosystems in the mountains and uplands
of tropical Asia are projected. Increases in temperature and seasonal variability
in precipitation are expected to result in more rapid recession of Himalayan
glaciers. Climate change impacts could result in significant changes in crop
yields, production, storage, and distribution in this region. Densely settled
and intensively used low-lying coastal plains, islands, and deltas in Asia are
extremely vulnerable to coastal erosion and land loss, inundation and sea flooding,
and upstream movement of saline water fronts as a result of sea-level rise.
The incidence and extent of vector-borne diseases, which are significant causes
of mortality and morbidity in tropical Asia, are likely to spread into new regions
on the margins of present endemic areas as a result of climate change.
The 1998 Special Report underscores that, in many countries of Asia, economic
policies and conditions (e.g., taxes, subsidies, and regulations) that shape
decisionmaking, development strategies, and resource-use patterns (hence environmental
conditions) hinder implementation of adaptation measures. For example, water
is subsidized in most developing countries of Asia, encouraging overuse (which
draws down existing sources) and discouraging conservation measures that may
be elements of future adaptation strategies. Other examples are inappropriate
land-use zoning and subsidized disaster insurance, which encourage infrastructure
development in areas that are prone to flooding or other natural disastersareas
that could become even more vulnerable as a result of climate change. Adaptation
and better incorporation of the long-term environmental consequences of resource
use can be brought about through a range of approaches, including strengthening
legal and institutional frameworks, removing pre-existing market distortions
(e.g., subsidies), correcting market failures (e.g., failure to reflect environmental
damage or resource depletion in prices or inadequate economic valuation of biodiversity),
and promoting public participation and education. These types of actions would
adjust resource-use patterns to current environmental conditions and better
prepare systems for potential future changes.
The 1998 Special Report emphasizes that the challenge lies in identifying opportunities
that would facilitate sustainable development by making use of existing technologies
and developing policies that make climate-sensitive sectors resilient to today's
climate variability. This strategy will require developing countries of Asia
to have access to appropriate technologies, information, and adequate financing.
In addition, adaptation will require anticipation and planning; failure to prepare
systems for projected change in climate means, variability, and extremes could
lead to capital-intensive development of infrastructure or technologies that
are ill-suited to future conditions, as well as missed opportunities to lower
the costs of adaptation.
Subsequent to publication of the 1998 Special Report, some advances in our
ability to better understand the likely future state of social, economic, and
environmental factors controlling the emission and concentration of greenhouse
gases (GHGs) and aerosols that alter the radiative forcings of climate have
been made. Details on future projections of climatic and environmental changes
on finer scales also are now better understood. This chapter presents an update
on the climate change projections for Asia and examines how projected changes
in climate could affect social, environmental, and economic sectors in the region.

- How to balance digestion for healthy weight
- Balance Colon Digestion
- Balance Liver Digestion
Organic India explores the top ways to balance stomach, colon, and liver digestion to reach your optimal weight.
More About:
Traditional wellness systems often reveal that a balanced digestion is the root of all health. One of the many wholesome benefits of having a balanced digestion is the increased ability to attain your optimal weight. Here's how to target your various systems to be healthier overall.
Balancing Stomach Digestion
Traditional medicine usually divides digestion function, especially in the stomach, into three simple categories: too slow, too fast and just right. But just what does that mean and what can we do about it?
In our stomach there are two main and opposing forces, which are known as the aggressive factors and the protective mechanisms. The aggressive factors include the gastric juice composed of hydrochloric acid and all the enzymes that break down the food. The protective mechanisms include bicarbonate to help lower the pH of the acid if needed and also the mucus and the mucous membrane of the stomach.
So when digestion is too fast in the stomach it typically means that the aggressive factors are too great relative to the protective mechanisms. Slow digestion is typically the opposite, when protective mechanisms are too strong relative to the amount of aggressive factors present.
"Relative" is the operative word here. It is not necessarily the case that some facet in your stomach physiology is bad or wrong, but rather it is simply that two facets that are required for health are out of balance relative to each other.
Of course one common sense way to balance the stomach digestion is to remove the cause, which often is a bacteria but also can be stress, cigarettes, alcohol, acidic food, sustained intense emotions and numerous prescription drugs like NSAIDS.
One of the best remedies for helping maintain balanced factors in the stomach is the herb called Amla, or Amalaki, which is the fruit pulp of Emblica officinalis. It has potent antioxidant polyphenols including one of the highest levels of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), bioflavanoids, ellagic acid, and other tannins.
Amalaki is one of the world's greatest adaptogens and antioxidant-loaded super fruits. It is unrivaled in offering people of all ages a broad spectrum of deeply supportive nourishment. Amalaki is the herb of choice when it comes to deep rejuvenation as it can be used to renew the digestive system, support healthy liver function, support the immune system, and support healthy inflammatory response, all of which can support a healthy balance of factors in the stomach and digestion. For thousands of years Amalaki has been one of the best and most used tonics for overall health.

Documents about the campaign for prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
Dear Readers
Happy new year!
We hope that in 2008 the implementation of the National Strategic Plan will gain momentum and many lives will be saved. Your support will help us achieve this. Support TAC by making a donation to fund our efforts. For details, go to http://www.tac.org.za/donate.html. Many thanks.
We must improve the maternal health and prevention of mother-to-child transmission programme
Tomorrow, TAC's Gauteng branches will march in Germiston to demand better maternal health and prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services in the Ekurhuleni district. We want the health facilities in this district to become a model of excellent PMTCT delivery that other hospitals and clinics across the country can emulate.
The Minister of Health has made statements to the media that the Department of Health has long been prepared to implement dual therapy regimens in all the provinces in South Africa, but has been prohibited by the 2001 Constitutional Court judgment in Minister of Health and Others v TAC and Others. She states that the judgment limited the Department of Health to implementing only 'monotherapy' nevirapine (NVP) to mothers with HIV to reduce mother-to-child transmission.
The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) National Executive Committee has resolved to mobilise to improve the public health system's mother-to-child transmission prevention programme. Tens of thousands of infants contract HIV every year in South Africa. A government inquiry released in 2006 showed unacceptably high maternal mortality.

JBU offers a choice of three concentrations for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree:
- Electrical/Computer Concentration
- Mechanical Concentration
- Renewable Energy Concentration
Students in the engineering program at John Brown University are encouraged to apply fundamentals learned in the classroom to real world, open-ended problems. They use Basic Utility Vehicle building competitions and design projects, such as creating devices to improve water filtration and to implement classroom learning.
These opportunities are integrated into the major to better equip students for post-graduate careers and ministry tasks. In addition to jobs such as consulting, teaching and working as civic engineers, JBU's engineering program provides an excellent foundation for those planning to pursue a graduate degree and specialize in specific areas, such as biomedical engineering.
"Our professors were always there to assist us, and they have continued to support us in our ventures. Professors have helped guide us through adapting our senior design project for the non-profit market," said 2010 graduate Drew Thomason who studied mechanical engineering. "Now I am in graduate school studying Biomedical Engineering at Colorado State. I am thankful for the availability of JBU professors who offer help even after I've graduated."
Each year, the department receives multiple requests for referrals from graduate schools familiar with the quality of graduates. There are opportunities for undergraduates, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduate. At the graduate level, schools like University of Michigan, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, University of Arkansas and University of Tulsa recruit JBU students.
Students apply their knowledge and faith as they move into career opportunities, mission efforts or continuing education.
"I work as an electrical designer for Benchmark Group," said graduate Sam Stewart. "JBU's Engineering program taught me how to approach a novel problem and think of a good way to solve it, not just how to solve textbook problems."

Ninety-six-year-old victim of home invasion dies
Levi Clayton, the 96-year-old victim of a violent break-in at his East Side Buffalo home last November,has died.
Police sources Wednesday were not expecting a ruling from the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office until sometime today as to whether Clayton's death was the result of natural causes or linked to the injuries he suffered in the Nov. 24 attack, in which case it would be classified as a homicide.
An 18-year-old Riverside High School basketball star was arrested earlier this year in connection with the home invasion in which the elderly man was beaten on the head, face and body.
Clayton suffered critical injuries in the attack, including a broken jaw. He was hospitalized for weeks in Erie County Medical Center and later recovered enough to be placed in a long-term health care facility, where he died early Wednesday.
Video from exterior surveillance cameras that were mounted outside Clayton's Longview Avenue home captured images of three people in the home invasion. The video was later released by the Buffalo Police Department to the media, and it, along with tips from the public, prompted police to arrest Justice Feggans.
Feggans has since been charged with two counts of first-degree robbery as well as two counts of first-degree burglary. His bail was set at $250,000. The two other suspects in the case remain at large.
The crime sparked public outrage and prompted Mayor Byron W. Brown to pay a visit to the hospitalized retired autoworker and World War II veteran while he convalesced.
"Mr. Clayton is certainly a fighter," said Brown, following his visit with Clayton at ECMC.
"It was terrible to have a member of our community in that position. It was a crime that really captured the attention of our community," the mayor added.

Maker's Mark Kumquat Marmalade
Maker's Mark Kumquat Marmalade
By Brad Farmerie, Executive Chef, PUBLIC, The Monday Room, Double Crown and Madam Geneva
Kumquats are the miniscule members of the citrus family that usher in the holiday season. They hit the markets in early November and look so small and funky and loveable, yet few people know what to do with them at home. My favorite use involves introducing them to my friend Maker's Mark® Bourbon and cooking them into a chunky, slightly spicy and deliciously grown-up marmalade. If you've never made jam before, this recipe is a good start, as marmalade is a little more forgiving when it comes to under- or overcooking. It seems strange to keep the seeds from the kumquats, but this is a jam-making secret as they possess pectin which is a natural thickening agent that helps turn your runny cooking liquid into a delicious spreadable delight. And this is no mere toast topping. My brother Adam uses this Maker's™ Marmalade as his star ingredient in one of the most memorable cocktails in recent Farmerie history, and I like to use this breakfast treat as a base for the best cranberry sauce you have ever had on Thanksgiving Day.
Cook Time:
Ready In:
- 1/2 cup Maker's Mark® Bourbon
- 1 pound fresh kumquats
- 2 pieces whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces star anise
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 jar (9.5 ounces) candied ginger in syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- Cut the kumquats in half.
- Using the tip of a small knife, remove the seeds from the kumquat halves.
- Place these seeds in a small piece of cheesecloth with the cloves, cinnamon and star anise, and tie the corners together to contain the contents.
- In a large pot combine the kumquats, water, orange juice and muslin bag containing the seeds and spices.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the kumquats are soft, about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime place the ginger and the juice from the jar into a blender or food processor and run until it reaches a fine puree.
- Add the sugar and half of the pureed ginger to the marmalade, reserving the remaining pureed ginger for future use.
- Bring back to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until a thick jam-like consistency is reached, about 1 hour more.
- Ladle the finished marmalade into sterilized jars and refrigerate until the urge arises to indulge in some Maker's Mark® Bourbon in a whole different way.

The Walrus Says
Ali's Run, the 6th annual Ali Dunn Packer Memorial Race, will get underway from the Lt. Col. John C. Rembijas Memorial Pavilion at Ft. Getty on Sunday.
The 1/2 mile Kid's Fun Run/ Walk, free for all children 10 and under, will kick off at noon. Registration is not necessary to participate.
The kids will get goodie bags, awards, bib numbers, and a complimentary lunch. They are also urged to bring their soccer balls to be autographed by New England Revolution players Shalrie Joseph and Michael Parkhurst.
The 5K USATF-certified race begins at 1 p.m. and finishes at Fort Getty Park.
Walkers are encouraged to participate. Music, awards, prizes and activities are planned for the entire family.
Registration for the run/walk will be available Sunday and a complimentary lunch will be provided.
For additional information, log on to www.alisrun.com or call 423-9695.
Ali's Run is a nonprofit organization benefiting Rhode Island youth. It happens rain or shine.
Don't forget to take part in Tick Control Awareness Day at a special event, Saturday at 3 p.m., at 11 America Way (at the entrance of East Passage off East Shore Road).
The tick research team from URI will be on hand to help islanders learn how best to control ticks on their yards and pets, and how to prevent tick bites and disease.
A story in the ProJo explains that adult deer ticks must be attached for 48 hours to transmit the Lyme disease pathogen, while nymphs, which are tiny and diffi- cult to see, need only be attached for 24 hours to transmit a Lyme infection.
In addition to Lyme disease, deer ticks also carry a malaria-like protozoan that causes babesiosis and a bacterium that causes human anaplasmosis. Like Lyme disease, these infections cause summertime flu-like symptoms and are difficult to diagnose, but unlike Lyme disease, they can be fatal.
For further information, call Anne Lane, 423-3942.
Anita Marie is home again.
After leading a vagabond life for 10 weeks in the Shores area the two-year-old chocolate Lab has been reunited with Abby, a 4 1/2- year-old chocolate Lab.
Anita Marie has been the object of a search by islanders and the subject of notices throughout town and newspaper ads. Shy and fearful of humans, she ran away from her owner Justin McAloon when a neighbor approached while she was playing in the yard and off her leash.
She had been adopted the day before, on St. Patrick's Day, from Labs 4 Rescue out of New Orleans. She is a special needs Lab, skittish around people. At her kennel, volunteers would read books to her to try to help her overcome her shyness. She was adopted to be a companion for Abby.
Justin and his wife, Candace, searched every morning and night and asked islanders to call with any sightings of her.
Finally the couple, after consultations with veterinarians, reluctantly decided to do what people had suggested weeks ago - tranquilize her with a dart. They borrowed a gun from a veterinarian and spotted her on Schooner Avenue. After the shot, they tracked her and found her asleep 40 minutes later.
People involved with Anita Marie's recovery are Animal Control Officer Cathy Gregory and other members of the police force, Luann Botelho and Henry Dutton.
Justin said Anita Marie is adjusting OK, although she has Lyme disease and hook worm as a result of being without her preventive medications for so long.
Abby has her companion back and it's a happy ending for everyone.
Kudos to the latest fireworks donors, Serena Beretta of Walcott Avenue; Kristin and Philip Zhivago of Seaside Drive who wrote, "Here's some hard-earned money to blow sky high. We will miss the fireworks so much. Thank you for years of big bangs and glowing faces - and the laughter brought by the big finale;" David Cain of Fayston, Vt., who commented, "I am looking forward to retiring back to the island where I grew up from 1944-67. " Cheers; and Pat and Jim Perry of East Shore Rd. who wrote, "Here's hoping your last is the best!"
Send your contributions to the Fireworks Fund, PO Box 1776, Jamestown, 02835, or drop them off at the Press office and we'll blow your money up, too.
Meg Hovanesian and John Kaiser, chefs at the PAC Club, are touting their "fabulous new summer menu."
Some 20 "farmers" turned out at the Community Farm Saturday to get the growing season "off to a bang" as one observer put it.
Long-term volunteer Phil Larson said the group, toiling under an unusually hot spring sun, planted 200 tomato plants, 250 pepper plants, 250 eggplants, 1,200 feet of green beans and 1,600 feet of squash.
"There wasn't a weed in the field," Phil said, crediting Bob Sutton who had plowed the day before. "He doubled up on the harrows and by using an invention of his, set the rows three feet apart that makes the plants easier to weed and cultivate."
New farmers on Saturday were Peter Fay and his 6-year-old son, Tim; Cliff and Elaine Hamm;
Dan Shapiro and his son, Greg, and the extended Clarke family.
Phil credited long-time farmers Mike Innoli and Bob Henrikson for their leadership.
The group works at the field Saturday mornings from 9 to noon, and Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Phil invites everyone to come on out and get your hands dirty. "You'll be feeling good."
Here we are, out of cigarettes............
Ace's is under new ownership. We're told it's going to take on a sports atmosphere.
This from Jim Anderson, "Your line in the May 10, 2007 edition, J.P. - I know a little bit about a lot...started me mentally meandering to a theory I came up with many years ago.
"I did not realize this was a song line (which usually appear at the tail of your articles) until speaking with a close Walrus observer.
"Here is my thought presented for your consideration. (Thank you Rod Serling)
An expert is one who knows a lot about a few things. A generalist is one who knows a little about many things.
"As they progress, the expert knows more and more about less and less. The generalist knows less and less about more and more.
"At their final extrapolation, the expert knows everything about nothing.
"The generalist knows nothing about everything!"
Thanks, Jim, that explains a lot.
We all know how unpleasant it is when we experience a skunk-pet encounter. Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic tells us how to deal with it.
"It is not uncommon for some of our pets to get sprayed by skunks during the spring and fall seasons. First make sure that your pet does not have any wounds after an encounter with any wild animal. Also, make sure your pet is up to date on rabies vaccine. If the skunk is out during the day, or worse yet acting unusual or fearless towards you or your pets, get away
from it and contact animal control immediately. "If your pet does get sprayed in the face, try to flush out their eyes and mouth with warm water or saline solution. You can bathe the rest of them using a shampoo made from 1/3 parts hydrogen peroxide, liquid dish soap, and baking soda. Use this recipe as a shampoo and rinse and repeat as necessary to reduce
the odor as much as possible." ARF!!
Jackie Deinert wonders how many homeowners on the island have had their homeowner's insurance policies not renewed over the past year due to possible hurricane losses? "We received our notice two weeks ago. However, the company would renew our policy if we put hurricane shutters on all windows, glass doors and garage doors, etc. Maybe they are going into the shutter business???"
Actually Jackie, we've been on top of this ever since Quincy Insurance pulled our homeowner's out from under us some six or so months ago. We've been in touch with Rep. Bruce Long who is a member of the ad hoc legislative committee investigating the insurance companies. He promised to keep us informed.
The Duke would have been 100 last week.
If you get behind a school bus close all your windows. The amount of exhaust being pushed out of them is unbelievable as they drive around the island spewing out their pollutants. We're not an environmental wacko, by any means, but if we have to have our vehicles checked every two years why shouldn't these tax-payersupported buses also be required to clean up their act so we don't have to breath in their poisons.
Kudos to whoever is responsible for the Narragansett Avenue patch job. Onward to North Road.
While on a short vacation trip, Kathy Westall purchased a circa 1919 Mills slot machine. However, it's jammed up. Anyone out there with the necessary talents to unjam it? Call her at 423-2616.
Kudos to Spinnakers for offering the opportunity for the community to send letters to the troops overseas.
We were taken back over the weekend to hear the talking heads on television wishing people a "happy Memorial Day." Don't they know what the day symbolizes.
Tomorrow is the Rose Moon, Flower Moon, and Strawberry Moon. Take your pick.
It was on June 6, 1944, D Day, when allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in the invasion of Europe.
*** Be true!!

Auberge Willowhas new owners,lots of changes Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (The more things change, the more they stay the same). The proverb was coined circa 1850 by a journalist in France.
Checking in: Hudson inn updated with terrasses, rooms
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (The more things change, the more they stay the same). The proverb was coined circa 1850 by a journalist in France.
After more than a year of renovations by new owners, Auberge Willow has been updated and expanded.
Stay cool. Habitués of this popular fixture of Hudson hospitality don't need to worry about discomforting changes to their comfortable local hangout. It's all still there, homespun and familiar, with those wonderful lake views, but it has been refreshed with new menu items, more patio dining space, renovated guest rooms and a wedding-worthy waterfront lawn. Grandma's wallpaper has been stripped and walls are lighter.
The inn's most valuable asset remains strong: that glorious setting on the shore of Lake of Two Mountains with views across the water as far as Montreal's Mount Royal and the silvery steepled church in Oka.
In summer, the ferry between Oka and Hudson crosses regularly and pleasure boats glide by. In winter, snowmobilers zoom into the Willow Pub for onion soup, steak-frites and Irish coffee. People even stop by for lunch aboard small planes or helicopters. Me? I drove out to meet my good friend Margaret Bateman, accomplished horsewoman, Montreal General nurse and longtime St-Lazare resident. We started on the patio with martinis and moved indoors for dinner. We had steaks, lemon pie and lots of fun.
Most notably, the lakefront dining area has been expanded with new decks, so on a busy summer night, the Willow can seat 400 people. With turnover, it serves as many as 600 in three indoor and outdoor spaces: the three-level Terrace, the Willow Pub and Bistro 208, which is the dining room. I was amazed at the scope. We're really talking volume.
The three owners are new to the hospitality business, but they are wildly enthusiastic. Carole Ménard and her husband, Pierre Lanctôt, both sales and marketing executives, returned to Quebec after 24 years in Toronto and bought the Willow with brother-in-law Michel Poirier, who owns local IGA supermarkets.
The white stucco cottage is still surrounded by giant shade trees and tall cedar hedges, but the veranda has been prettified with new tables and chairs, black and white, to match the shutters and roof. Out back, Ménard and her team have re-landscaped the huge lawn that spreads down to the lake and added 70 Adirondack chairs on the shore so that guests can have drinks on the waterfront or lounge in the sun.
The Terrace is bigger and better, and a platoon of summer students serves food and drinks from day to evening. Some new dishes and old faves are: wings, bruschetta, lobster rolls, fish 'n' chips (with homemade fries), artichoke dip, plus kids' stuff. The Hudson Burger, with Oka cheese, peameal bacon, crisp onions and house sauce, is new. And on some weekend nights, the chef fires up a barbecue for rack of lamb, steaks and fish.
Bistro 208 is the new name for the dining room, which has been redone in a more open concept with a leafy motif. It's often sold out for Sunday's buffet brunch, and it's the place for dinner — scallops, ribs, lobster pasta, filet mignon, grilled salmon or cod in white wine. The specialty is roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, served Thursdays to Sundays, but with a discounted deal on Thursdays, $19.95 to $25.95.
The Willow Pub has been refitted with high cocktail tables and more brews on tap. I'm happy that the beautiful, well-worn tavern chairs survived the update. The pub's dark oak panelling still dominates, but Ménard has added a montage of Willow collectibles, so she is keen to hear from anyone who comes across old postcards or artwork. Co-owner Poirier has mounted his red hockey sweater, a prized souvenir from when he played defence on Canada's national team against Russia in 1969, with teammate Ken Dryden.
Ménard really improved the nine guest rooms upstairs. She brightened the walls with pale yellow or cream and bought cotton waffle-weave bathrobes, high-quality pillow-top mattresses, fine sheets and duvets, and hypoallergenic Willow Pillows, all of which are also for sale. She combed flea markets and antique shops, and freshened up vintage armoires, dressers and lamps. She added flat-screen TVs.
With its picturesque lakefront setting for photo ops, Auberge Willow has a major clientele for weddings. The inn also does brisk business in company conferences, given its location between Ottawa and the West Island's corporate-industrial corridor along Highway 40.
Currently at the Hudson Village Theatre, Nicholas Pynes is directing The 39 Steps, a fast-paced British spy thriller. It's a classic based on the 1915 novel by the multi-talented Scottish author John Buchan, a member of Parliament, Oxford alumnus and First World War historian. Alfred Hitchcock's film version hit the big screen in 1935, around the time that Buchan was appointed Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield and governor general of Canada (.villagetheatre.ca, 450-458-2743, on stage until Aug. 24).

Several publications are reporting the possibility that the European Commission (EC) could be preparing to implement a European-wide limit of 100HP on motorcycles when the European executive power meets this summer. The issue arises after France instituted a 100HP ban on new motorcycles, causing the country to be out of line with the rest of European Union. France's new law places an undue burden on manufacturers, who must now make a French variant for each new EU motorcycle model (or just not offer the bike in the French market all-together), and as such the EC aims to bring the EU under one policy.
This has created cause for alarm in the industry (or just in sensationalist journalists) who fear that the EC could place 100HP limits across the entire EU, along with other hindering provisions as well (mandatory ABS brakes seems to be the other main concern), in order to bring balance to the Union's approach on motorcycles. If that sounds ridiculous to you, then you're in the same boast as us. Considering how the EC and EU directives, regulations, and decisions actually operate, the real likelihood seems to be the possibility of France's law being repealed, but that doesn't mean activists have any less cause for alarm.

Today is the day that I'm turning on the Christmas music and I'm going to decorate the tree. I need to come up with my game plan to bake cookies (who doesn't love cookies as a gift? Raises hand. Then the other.) I have some ambitious ideas for other edible gifts. But, I'm not saying what they are. Just in case I run out of steam. If I don't accomplish my goals, well gift cards are a wonderful solution. But, first, I need a hearty breakfast so that I don't eat the cookies, I'm about to bake.
The batter is thick, and the pancakes will puff up pretty high. I carefully watched the griddle, so that it was about medium hot, and let these cook until I see bubbles forming. The batter is thick, so it took a good 2 minutes, before flipping them.

WORCESTER — After going without power for almost 24 hours Monday into Tuesday afternoon, Grafton Hill residents barely had time to appreciate the restored electricity before it went out again Tuesday night.
Jackie Barry, a National Grid spokeswoman, said the second outage, affecting about 300 customers, occurred about 6 p.m., and everyone's power was restored by 7:30 p.m.
She said the outage was caused by an overloaded circuit on the line. Crews fixed it by installing larger fuses, she said.
"We apologize to our customers that there was another outage and we worked as quickly as we could to get the power back on and try to limit the inconvenience."
The second outage compounded the frustration of Grafton Hill residents who had already been without electricity for almost 24 hours.
Some residents on the block without power said they relied on public assistance and would not be able to replace the food they lost during the lengthy first outage. They were also upset about the utility's rolling and inadequate estimate of how long the power would be out.
Brian Sinkus of Barclay Street said many in the area were told by National Grid that they would have had the power restored by the end of Monday.
"If they told us it was going to be days, I would have moved my food," Mr. Sinkus said.
David Graves, another spokesman for National Grid, said Tuesday morning the company ran into unforeseen complications and was unable to restore power by a noon deadline.
"My refrigerator stinks," said Patricia Pulsifer, who lives on the second floor of a three-decker on Barclay Street. She called National Grid around 2 on Monday afternoon to let them know about the outage.
"At 2 they told me it would be fixed by 4:15. I called at 5 and they said 7. At 8:30 they told me midnight. At 4 this morning, they told me 7. At 8:30 I called and they said noon."
For reasons unclear, a pole carrying a large transformer in the Mendon Street area came down early Monday afternoon, causing 235 National Grid customers to lose power, according to Mr. Graves. Utility crews were able to isolate the immediate problem, and power was restored to 125 customers by about 6 p.m.
However, when crews went to energize the line, they discovered a fault in an underground cable.
"They found one of the neighbors had built a stone wall over the underground conduit," Mr. Graves said.
Electricity was ultimately restored about 1 p.m. Tuesday, only to have it go out against about five hours later.
Ms. Pulsifer said she received her public assistance funds on Monday and had just done a big shopping.
"All my food has spoiled," she said. "I'd like to know who is going to reimburse me."
The frustration for many, according to Mr. Sinkus, is that National Grid repeatedly told customers that the repairs would be made on Monday.
"If they could have told us," Mr. Sinkus said. "People could have saved their food somehow. It's tough for many, a lot of us don't even have transportation."
Darcelle Clark and her sister, Jessica Lamboy, live with their five children under the age of 7 in an apartment on Barclay Street. Ms. Lamboy said they are on welfare and all three of her children have health issues.
"It's horrible," Ms. Clark said. "We stayed outside late (Monday) night, and had to buy candles. The fridge is already leaking."
Ms. Clark said one of her sister's children has asthma and they can't plug in the machine for treatment.
"It's scary," Ms. Clark said.

Veterans' healthcare needs a booster shot
Leroy Wehler. George "Pizza" Pirraglia. Most recently, Ron Guilyard. And the list of the Vietnam-era veterans who died from the effects of Agent Orange continues to get longer. It's just one of the complications our veterans are facing following their service to our country. Getting to know some of the Vietnam veterans in the area, particularly those from the Bucktail Chapter 720, has really brought home to me a frustrating and disturbing issue that has existed for a long time in this country and affects all of our veterans, from World War II to today —the burdensome patchwork of medical care that veterans have to deal with, from routine checkups to major surgery. The actual care people get can be excellent, but it is hard when they have to travel long distances to the nearest VA hospital or treatment center for care. For the veterans in rural counties, it can be especially difficult. Getting to DuBois is one thing, but having to go to Altoona or Pittsburgh, and sometimes beyond, to see specialists or to have surgery is daunting. It's not just the logistics of how to get there, but it is often an all-day, tiring process, particularly for some of our older veterans or those who are not in good health.Maybe when the Veterans Administration was created, it seemed like a good idea to have healthcare facilities tailored specifically to veterans' needs. That is still a good idea, but coverage should be expanded so that they can see physicians in their own towns and have it covered by VA benefits. Talking heads use the word "complicated" while also saying veterans "deserve the best." Let's help them get it – and let's be clear, I have no sound plan for how to do this, just that I, a fellow American, would like to see something done. When you sit down and try to figure out how this stuff works, the bureaucratic tangle and the vast amount of information can make you want to give up before you even start. I'm equating this into going into town to buy bananas, and the store has them, but I'm not allowed to have those bananas – instead, I have to travel three hours away to get some bananas. It just doesn't make any sense. Veterans are used to red tape and procedures that seem to exist for no good reason-- but don't you think they got enough of that while they were in the service? Don't think I'm knocking our Veterans Affairs offices, either, especially the Elk County VA office. These people do a great job of advocating for veterans and helping them access benefits and services to which they are entitled. And our Rides4Vets charitable organization has been wonderful in helping get veterans of all ages and situations to appointments across the state. How fortunate for us to have them; how unfortunate that they are so badly needed. As usual, it seems the problem lies at the federal level. It's not a question of Republican or Democrat. This is a longstanding, bipartisan issue that cuts across all ethnicities, religious persuasions, and geographic regions. The members of Congress—who have very, very good healthcare, by the way-- need to step up and get it done. If we can spend billions of dollars every year on national and international defense, weaponry, and payouts to "friendly" nations to help us in whatever quest we're currently undertaking, then we can damn well find the appropriate funds and makes the legislative changes necessary to see that our veterans have access to appropriate, efficient care when– and where-- they need it. Whether you were on a troop ship, in a foxhole, a submarine, a plane, in cold lands, in sweltering countries, served stateside during your entire enlistment, got shot at, poisoned, bombed, blown up or you cut yourself with a vegetable peeler doing K.P. on base, it shouldn't matter. The majority of veterans say they wouldn't take back their service to their country, no matter how it has affected them afterward. That kind of loyalty and willingness to sacrifice is the backbone of our nation. It's what keeps us strong and healthy as a country. Shouldn't we be doing everything in our power to ensure that our veterans can say the same?-- Victoria Stanish, Daily Press Editor
