The people at LMPerformance know that cold air intake parts should provide your engine with more air and colder air. That is why they offer you Cold Air Intake Parts from Cold Air Inductions, Inc. Cold Air Inductions intake tubes have Ceramic Coating inside and out to reduce heat soak by keeping radiant heat from penetrating the ambient intake air and are made of high quality .08" aluminum, not heat absorbing plastic. Our cold air intake parts apply 3/8'' thermal insulation in the box preventing heat transfer from the engine bay and keeping incoming air cool. Cold Air Inductions welds each air intake by TIG welding by hand and each intake has a clear viewing window on the lid to allow for easy filter inspection. The Cold Air Inductions lid is easy to remove and allows faster filter cleaning. In addition the team at Cold Air Inductions designs and engineers every intake specifically for the individual vehicle they are sold for resulting in maximum performance, easy installation and a perfect fit on each car.
Cold Air Inductions uses Thermal Imaging Cameras and data software during the design and development stages of the Cold Air Inductions systems to make sure they increase the airflow and keep the intake air temperature of the Cold Air Inductions system as cold as possible. The thermal imaging cameras and thermal image data processing software pinpoint the spots in the engine compartment that are creating the most heat. Cold Air Inductions uses this information to make sure the box is properly insulated uses the thermal imaging equipment to check for leaks that may have been created during the prototype process.

The New York Times ran a weekend profile on Dutch planting designer Piet Oudolf, who is now at work on plans for the High Line. The Home & Garden piece paints Piet as somewhat of a revolutionary in his holisitic approach to plant life cycle. He claims,"The skeletons of the plants are for me as important as the flowers," and picks plant species for their structural integrity, even in the leafless dead of winter.
here (PDF), taken from a presentation Piet gave to Friends of the High Line last year.
James Corner, the principal of Field Operations, who's working with Piet on the landscape design for the High Line, said, "He's like a really good chef. He knows his ingredients in a much deeper way than an amateur. He's a master of the medium."
Looking out over his perennial meadow, Mr. Oudolf articulated it this way: "You look at this, and it goes deeper than what you see. It reminds you of something in the genes - nature, or the longing for nature." Allowing the garden to decompose, he added, meets an emotional need in people.
"You accept death. You don't take the plants out, because they still look good. And brown is also a color."
A Landscape in Winter, Dying Heroically (New York Times)

Piet has also written three fantastic books with beautiful photographs. The most recent is called Planting Design: Gardens in Time and Space. (Amazon)

Jaguars bring tears of joy to Tennessee
June 6, 2010
By Bucky Dent, Special to NCAA.com
OOLTEWAH, Tenn. -- Who says there's no crying in golf?
Moments after his sixth-seeded Jaguars dumped No. 2 Florida State 4-1 in an NCAA Division I men's golf championship semifinal Saturday at The Honors Course, Augusta State coach Josh Gregory pushed tears out of his eyes as he lavished platitudes on his unheralded, talented side.
"The proudest moment of my career," he called it. "We have a chip on our shoulder and something to prove. Our program and our city deserve the opportunity."
The opportunity of which Gregory spoke occurs at 9:30 a.m. Sunday in the national championship match when Augusta State meets top-seeded Oklahoma State.
While casual fans may opt for a David vs. Goliath cliche to hype the match, it might be more advisable to bill this as a Butler vs. Duke scenario.
The Jaguars came into the tournament ranked as a Top 10 seed and qualified for the match-play quarterfinals comfortably at No. 6. Gregory said they were disappointed when they finished second in their NCAA regional.
But as a small school with a limited budget that offers no other Division I sports besides golf -- Augusta State is Division II in all other sports -- it is dwarfed in resources and tradition by the 10-time NCAA champion Cowboys.
But the Jaguars can play. Top seed Henrik Norlander is a strapping Swede with a flair for the dramatic, illustrated by his holing out an 84-yard lob wedge on 17 to close out Drew Kittleson 3 and 1, and clinch the team win.
No. 2 man Patrick Reed, whose 18th-hole birdie Friday against Georgia Tech allowed Augusta State to survive, never trailed Saturday in his 1-up win over Brooks Koepka.
But the gutsiest performance -- in more than one sense of the word -- came from No. 4 man Taylor Floyd. Enervated by an illness so bad that Gregory asked during a rain delay if he should consider withdrawing, Floyd refused and closed out his win over Wesley Graham with a birdie on the calculus-tough 18th hole.
"He's not the type of kid to complain about anything," Gregory said, "but for him to close out with a birdie on 18 was something as sick as he was."
So now the Jaguars mount that chip on their shoulder one more time and try to swing their way into history.
"We're real excited about being here," Norlander said. "We don't have the same budget, but we think we can beat anyone."
Quack Attacked: Oregon entered the tournament as the overall top seed but fell to Oklahoma State in the day's first semifinal.
But fourth-year coach Casey Martin isn't looking at the season as a disappointment, not after his team's numerous accomplishments.
"It has been a magical season for the Ducks. It has been awesome with five victories and finishing third in the tournament, winning the (Western) regional," he said.
If one is looking for an early favorite for the 2011 national title, it could be Oregon. It returns everyone from this year's squad, including top seed Eugene Wong.
"It's been a great, fun year, and hopefully, it's not the last of its kind," Martin said. "We just need to keep recruiting, bring guys in and scrap for it."
Wrong Word: By accident, Stanford's Steve Ziegler ended his day a hole early on Friday in a loss to Oklahoma State's Morgan Hoffmann.
Down one hole after dropping the 17th, Ziegler said, "Match," to Hoffmann. A rules official overheard him and said the match was over, declaring that Ziegler had conceded.
Had Ziegler said almost anything else, the match would have continued to the 18th hole.

This time of year, nothing tastes better than a hot toddy—or spiked cider, or mulled wine, or anything else that properly warms your insides. We asked bartenders across the country about their favorite hot cocktails; here's what they had to say.
"Coal Miner's Daughter meets a hot toddy. It's made with a scoop of macerated ginger, a little bit of lemon, honey, about two ounces of rye, and filled the rest of the way with hot water." — Derrick Bass (Willie Jane)
"I love blended Scotch (2 ounces), 3/4 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 ounce of honey syrup, 1/2 ounce of ginger syrup (which is ginger juice and simple syrup), Fee's Old Fashioned Bitters, and about 4 to 5 ounces of hot water." — Matt Tocco (Pinewood Social)
"An old roommate of mine had the simplest and best cocktail, and it saw us through many a broke, cold night: boil 1 liter of water with a grated root of ginger. Let it steep, then add 2 ounces of the worst brandy you can find, 2 ounces of honey, and a squeeze of lemon. Nuclear heat in your chest." — Dan Bronson (The Strand Smokehouse & Crescent & Vine)
"The hot stinger: hot chocolate with 1 ounce Branca Menta and 1/2 oz créme de cacao. Garnish with a mint sprig." — Scott Brody (Presidio Social Club)
"One of the first cocktails I developed was a hot drink using Scarlet Ibis Rum, pistachio syrup, orgeat, Angostura bitters, and a pinch of malic acid, all steamed and topped with fresh whipped cream and toasted pistachio dust. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a toddy or a hot buttered rum, so this little guy ended up being somewhere in between." — Chris Amirault (The Eveleigh)
"I don't get to make hot cocktails often in San Diego, but I live for a well-made Irish Coffee." — Jen Queen (Saltbox Dining & Drinking)
"I just made a drink with Dutch's Spirits Sugar Wash Moonshine (a demerara sugar spirit) and cardamom hot cocoa, with a torched meringue top and garnished with homemade graham cracker crumbles and orange zest." — Justin Fairweather (Evelyn Drinkery)
"The ultimate crowd-pleaser is a good and spicy hot apple cider with a rich, dark rum. I put cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg, orange peel and plenty of ginger in my cider. The ginger adds a spicy note that helps balance out the sweetness of apple and rum. Cold pressed apple juice works best (the cloudy, brown kind)." — Lauren Lathrop Williams (Jsix Restaurant)
"We are making a Hot Buttery Nipple—butter & cacao infused Jameson, hot water, and rich demerara syrup, with whipped cream." — Kevin Peters (Golden Cadillac)
"We have three at Play: an intense hot chocolate, served with Guillemette Genepi, in the traditional Alpine style; a spicy mulled wine, incorporating Thai long pepper, vanilla, ginger, chai, and three different meads; and a mulled cider, which contains licorice, clove, and mulling spices, along with Laird's Applejack, ginger mead, and Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier distillate, made from the smoky German beer." — Jim Kearns (PLAY)
"Right now we are making a cocktail called the Kyoto Winter Warmer. It's an Oyuwari (which means hot water with whisky) made with Yamazaki 12 year whisky, cloves, orange, roasted cacao tincture, Meyer lemon, and hot water. We garnish it with black cardamom, which brings out some smoked wood notes. " —Brian Means (Fifth Floor)
"Right now we are serving a cocktail called The Kettle, the Apple and the Mug which we make with apple brandy, bourbon, hot apple cider, lime, and a cinnamon stick." — Juan Coronado (The Bazaar by Jose Andres at SLS Hotel South Beach)
"We have a few hot tea and toddy cocktails. One uses Bombay Sapphire East, ginger syrup, Benedictine, and Kyoto Cherry tea. It's fantastic." — Nate Howell (Cusp Dining & Drinks)
"My favorite hot cocktail is a traditional Irish coffee. Made with raw sugar and freshly shaken cream, nothing is better in the winter." — Dan Andruss (312 Chicago)
"I love to play with strong spices that mix well with lemon and honey. Currently, I love to use mezcal as the base spirit for a take on a hot toddy. Take a smoky mezcal, such as Sombra, a little lemon juice, honey, and add plenty of aromatics like bitters, spiced tinctures, and top with hot water. Garnish with spices like cloves, cinnamon sticks and a lemon peel." — Ryan Prevost (Kabocha)
"We have a great house-made buttered rum. We make it in a slow cooker with dark rum, light rum, butter, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla bean, brown sugar, and orange zest. It is a nicely balanced winter drink—not too sweet." — Dave Ellis (FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar)
"I used to make a chamomile tea cocktail, which has always been one of my favorites. We used Canton ginger liqueur, El Himador Reposado Tequila, lemon, and honey and would heat it up. It was perfect on a cold day." — Gianni Cionchi (FishTag)
"I like the classic stuff like Tom & Jerry's (rum, brandy, egg batter, milk or hot water) and lambswool wassail (spiced beer with apple puree). This year, I'm making white hot chocolate with smoked chestnut puree." — Jonathan Harris (Firefly)
"There are a lot of spins on hot toddies, but I prefer my own, called La Tizana. It is made with 1 ounce of Bacardi Oakheart, 1/2 ounce plum syrup (1 cup of fresh plums, 1 cup of raw sugar, 1 cup of water, simmered and strained), and 3 ounces Earl Grey tea." — Ergys Dizdari (Filini Bar and Restaurant)

WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- Manufacturing problems may have been responsible for a gaping hole in the roof of a Southwest Airlines jetliner earlier this month, an investigation indicates.
A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that dangerous structural cracks in the Boeing 737 jet's fuselage might have been due to misaligned rivet holes and loose bolts during manufacture.
The April 1 event occurred as the 15-year-old 737 jetliner was headed from Phoenix to Sacramento, Calif. with 122 people aboard.
The twin-engine plane experienced sudden cabin depressurization and was forced to make an emergency landing at a military base in Yuma, Ariz.
X-ray inspections of the plane found that several feet from the rupture, rivet holes in the upper and lower aluminum skin of the fuselage were "slightly offset relative to each other," the report said.
The NTSB report also said many of the rivet holes were found to be of irregular shape.
Along the actual tear, investigators discovered "fatigue cracks emanating from at least 42 of the 58 rivet holes."
The NTSB said Monday its examination of the rivets and holes is continuing along with a fatigue analysis of the aluminum skin.

FDA, States Collaborate for Safety's Sake
October 15, 1997
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Battling AIDS FraudRecent years have seen a growth in fraudulent or scientifically unproven treatments aimed at patients with AIDS who are desperate for any help against this deadly disease.
FDA has joined with several states to form the AIDS Health Fraud Task Force Network, a grassroots cooperative striving to curb AIDS fraud through various information programs. So far, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas have created task forces, each with its own programs tailored to the state's needs.
"Our hope is that eventually all 50 states will come aboard the program," says Richard Barnes, director of FDA's division of federal-state relations. Task forces include federal, state and local officials, along with members of AIDS service organizations, academia, businesses, and AIDS medication "buyers' clubs." FDA funds the task forces.
The 6-year-old task force network is not a law enforcement body, though it sometimes refers suspected fraud cases to state or federal regulators. Instead, the network seeks to abolish fraudulent activities by sponsoring consumer education through telephone hot lines, newsletters, public service announcements, exhibits, and videos. Because they regard AIDS fraud as common and costly for people with AIDS or infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), task force members help patients steer clear of fraudulent operations. Patients can report suspected fraud to task forces (the phone numbers are listed in local directories under state services). Task forces also help patients make informed choices about legitimate treatments.
A clear advantage of the task forces is speed, says Lynne Isaacs, AIDS coordinator in FDA's Florida district office. "If suspected fraud is found, the task force can rapidly alert the news media, which gets the message to the public."
One recent Florida case involved a hand lotion the distributor claimed could block HIV and eliminate the need for health workers to wear protective gloves. The task force quickly spread the word about this unproven product, and FDA sent a warning letter to the company, which resulted in the company canceling its advertising.
Collaborating with states makes good sense, Barnes says, because "FDA cannot stop AIDS fraud alone. Fraud happens at the local level, and that's where exposure of the fraud should take place."
Barnes emphasizes that AIDS fraud is not an isolated problem affecting a small patient population. It is part of a much larger problem that has negative consequences for the country's economy. "Let's face it," Barnes says, "when someone is involved in health fraud, it ends up costing all of us."
The current listing of task forces and contact people is located at http://www.fda.gov/oashi/aids/tfmems.html.

The Journal of a Prizefighter
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in late 2003, but it wasn't until after learning about my first relapse in the summer of 2005 at which time I discovered the dozens of inspirational stories of other survivors on the Internet that I decided to make this blog a reality. Since 2007, I've been cancer-free. I hope that cancer survivors and their families will be able to take something from this that will help them in their own journey.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is spread through the bite of one of several types of ticks.
Borreliosis; Bannwarth syndrome
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi). Blacklegged ticks and other species of ticks can carry these bacteria. The ticks pick up the bacteria when they bite mice or deer that are infected with B. burgdorferi. You can get the disease if you are bitten by an infected tick.
Lyme disease was first reported in the United States in 1977 in the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut. The same disease occurs in many parts of Europe and Asia. In the United States, most Lyme disease infections occur in the following areas:
There are 3 stages of Lyme disease.
Risk factors for Lyme disease include:
Important facts about tick bites and Lyme disease:
Symptoms of early localized Lyme disease (stage 1) begin days or weeks after infection. They are similar to the flu and may include:
There may be a "bull's eye" rash, a flat or slightly raised red spot at the site of the tick bite. Often there is a clear area in the center. It can be large and expanding in size. This rash is called erythema migrans. Without treatment, it can last 4 weeks or longer.
Symptoms may come and go. Untreated, Lyme disease can spread to the brain, heart, and joints.
Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the tick bite, and may include:
Symptoms of late disseminated Lyme disease (stage 3) can occur months or years after the infection. The most common symptoms are muscle and joint pain. Other symptoms may include:
A blood test can be done to check for antibodies to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. The most commonly used is the ELISA for Lyme disease test. An immunoblot test is done to confirm ELISA results. Be aware, though, in the early stage of infection, blood tests may be normal.
In areas where Lyme disease is more common, your health care provider may be able to diagnose early disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 2) without doing any lab tests.
Other tests that may be done when the infection has spread include:
Persons bitten by a tick should be watched closely for at least 30 days to see if a rash or symptoms develop.
A single dose of the antibiotic doxycycline may be given to someone soon after being bitten by a tick, when all of these conditions are true:
A 10 day to 4-week course of antibiotics is used to treat people who are diagnosed with Lyme disease, depending on the choice of drug:
Pain medicines, such as ibuprofen, are sometimes prescribed for joint stiffness.
If diagnosed in the early stages, Lyme disease can be cured with antibiotics. Without treatment, complications involving the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur. But these symptoms are still treatable and curable.
In rare cases, a person keeps having symptoms that interfere with daily life after they have been treated with antibiotics. This is also known as post-Lyme disease syndrome. The cause of this syndrome is unknown.
Symptoms that occur after antibiotics are stopped may not be signs of active infection and may not respond to antibiotic treatment.
Stage 3, or late disseminated, Lyme disease can cause long-term joint inflammation (Lyme arthritis) and heart rhythm problems. Brain and nervous system problems are also possible, and may include:
Call your health care provider if you have:
Take precautions to avoid tick bites. Be extra careful during warmer months. When possible, avoid walking or hiking in the woods and areas with high grass.
If you do walk or hike in these areas, take measures to prevent tick bites:
If a tick is attached to you, follow these steps to remove it:

15-Minute Avocado Pasta! This pasta comes together so quickly with no fancy equipment needed. Jump to the Avocado Pasta Recipe or watch our quick recipe video showing you how to make it.
It's hard to believe, but you only need avocado for the creamy avocado sauce. No butter or cream, just avocado! I love how easy this is and the fact that I can make it in less than 15 minutes is a real bonus, especially during the week. We love this recipe so much that we've even made a version swapping sweet potato noodles for the pasta.

How to Make the Best Avocado Pasta
The great thing about this recipe is that in the time the pasta takes to cook, we can make the creamy avocado sauce.
Simply add avocado to a bowl and mash really well with a fork.
A ripe avocado is ripe is best for this, otherwise there won't be much flavor. An avocado is ripe when it gives slightly when squeezed. You can see our tips for buying, cutting and storing avocados here.
Add a little flavor — we like fresh garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. A microplane helps with the garlic — If you don't have one, just mince the garlic finely. Use a fork to mash everything together. You can also use a food processor, but we hate cleaning it, so a fork is our go-to.
Once the pasta is cooked, add a little pasta water to thin out the sauce. Then throw in tomatoes, chopped green onion, and the cooked pasta. After a good toss, the sauce should coat the pasta — if you need too, you can add a little more water to thin things out a bit.
That's it! Your very own bowl of creamy avocado pasta.

Quick and Easy Avocado Pasta Recipe
Fast, fresh and so easy. The longest part of this recipe is cooking the pasta. The avocado "sauce" is made in minutes. In the recipe, we call for grated garlic. To do this, we use a microplane grater. If you do not have one at home, make sure you mince the garlic very finely before adding. Choosing avocados can be a little tricky, for our tips, see our thoughts on how we choose and store avocados.
You Will Need
9 ounces dry pasta
1 medium tomato, diced
1 green onion, finely sliced
1 large ripe avocado
1/4 teaspoon finely grated garlic
Juice from 1/4 of a lemon
Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of hot pasta water then drain pasta.
Mash avocado in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic and lemon juice then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in a 1/4-cup of the reserved pasta water. Add pasta, tomatoes, and green onion then toss until the pasta is completely coated by the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more pasta water.

Ignite Asset Management is a new name in the MotoGP paddock's lexicon, as well as the new sponsor of Ducati's "junior" team. While each year sponsors come and go, Ignite is a bit different from the usual batch of names plastered on the side of a GP bike, and the investment firm is getting some interesting play in the otherwise unassuming motorcycle world.
If you are not sure what an "alternative asset management" investing firm happens to be, then the American company's self-description as a "management firm led by a group of hedge fund industry veterans and supported by private investors that are driven by the undiscovered alpha" is going to really leave you really wondering what slicks-back the hair on these Wall Street types.
Boiled down to its essence, an alpha represents the ratio of an investments and measure how sizable a return was in relation to measured risk. A positive alpha coefficient signals that an investment was good not only in its return, but also in its risk management. Investors are always talking about "seeking alpha" and here Ignite is touting its professional ability of finding the diamond in the rough — standard Wall Street Napoleon Complex stuff.
So then, how does a company like Ignite Asset Management enter into a sport where the running joke about how to make $10 million dollars is to start with $100 million?

Wing Your Heel wrote:Hello fellow vintage bike nutters
Am a newbie to your forum, but an oldie beyond all redemption when it comes to early bicycles.
Been looking for an original paint Malvern Star to add to my collection for some years now, so I bought the 5 Star on American ebay the other day.
Seller told me he had emails from some very angry potential bidders from your neck of the woods because he would not ship abroad. Some sellers in every country might be paranoid about foreign shipping. In case you need to get around that stupidity in future, you have to have an optional American address for postage; I use a mate there, who forwards stuff to me.
So, apologies to various Australian fellow bidders who understandably wanted to repatriate it.
But rest assured it will be ridden, and displayed at some shows here so brits can see what a great Australian bike looks like.
And of course it will also be parked on http://www.oldbike.eu/museum
Three questions:
1. Seller says frame no is M27517. I suppose he might have misread it as lack of prefix number seems to be out of sequence?
Can you offer any clues to the age from the style of the transfers (decals) on the ebay photos?
2. I'd love some copies of brochure/ ads for this particular model to add to its page. Payment as req'd.
3. BSA or CL chainwheel in your opinion?
(You can view it by putting its item number 181014591925 into ebay search)
(Brighton, jolly olde englande)
Just re-reading this thread, followed the link mentioned above & found the Malvern Star details here http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/1940s/1940 ... rack-bike/ Nice photos!

Well... the bench is gone, fun over? Nope! We are excited to let loose with this next idea. We are temporarily installing framed art in various public spaces.
Have you ever looked through the art at thrift stores? It is an odd assortment that in large part consists of amateur landscapes, flowers, twenty year old photos of places you've never been, someone's favourite animal, tacky souvenirs from resorts in Mexico, more flowers, and a creepy child or two. All of it, good or bad, is awesome, and we decided that maybe some of it deserves a second chance at being seen. The best part is, there is so much of this amazing cultural flotsam and jetsam.
Yes, this isn't exactly bench related. We are aware that the name Interbenchion kind of ties us to only working with benches, but then realized, heck, who exactly is making the rules here?
Same rules apply as to the bench, we won't damage anything, and it is temporary. We will be back in a couple of days to take it down. Unless it falls down, which may happen.
So anyways, here is the first attempt/tape-test.
|Camera phones ain't great at night.
|Small art, big wall.
Anyhoo, keep your eyes out as you walk around. We will post the best ones here.

The Canisius College Office of Veterans Services and Army ROTC will host Veterans Day events to remember the sacrifices of America's 25 million veterans. All events are free and open to the public.
LTC Gerald "Andy" Boston, US Army War College, will present a talk titled "A Time to Serve, A Time to Lead," on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 9 a.m. in Lyons Hall Room 311.
On Monday, Nov. 12, Canisius will hold a Veterans Day observance in front of Old Main at the college's Greatest Generation Memorial beginning at noon. In addition to remarks by President John J. Hurley, the Canisius community will pay special respect to the more than 6,000 service members who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, with a reading of the names of those who died in these conflicts. The roll call is expected to last several hours.
Brian Castner, former U.S. Air Force explosive ordinance officer, will read from his new, critically acclaimed book "The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life that Follows," at 1 p.m. in the Bouwhuis Library, first floor.
As part of the National Roll Call, Canisius will also observe a "minute of silence" at 2 p.m. to honor the fallen. Canisius is one of 97schools nationwide, and one of two in New York state, to participate in the Roll Call.
As a show of service and pride, all Canisius faculty and staff who are veterans are encouraged to wear their ribbons or medals on Veterans Day. Medals tell a story of service, sacrifice, honor and accomplishment. By wearing them on Veterans Day, Canisius veterans can tell their story to the entire college and help teach students the true meaning of citizenship and freedom.
For more information, contact the Canisius College Office of Public Relations at 716-888-2790.
Canisius College is one of 28 Jesuit universities in the nation.

This album is posted on the UC Hastings Facebook page.
UC President Janet Napolitano told graduates at UC Hastings' 133rd Commencement May 10, 2014 that she "envied all the fresh opportunities that lie ahead for you to make a difference in the world." Napolitano addressed some 400 graduates and more than 4,500 invited guests at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
After an introduction by Chancellor & Dean Frank H. Wu, Napolitano congratulated students for entering a "family of alumni that has demonstrated an incredible commitment to public service—an incredible commitment to making a difference."
Napolitano invoked the legacies of four legal giants whose reputations are bound with UC Hastings: Ambassador Chris Stevens '89; Willie Brown Jr. '58; Congressional Representative Jackie Speier '76; and Clara Foltz, a divorced mother of five who sued UC Hastings for admission in 1879 and became the first woman lawyer on the West Coast.
She spoke of Stevens' service in the Peace Corps and in Benghazi, where he was killed in an attack on the embassy there. She spoke of Brown's rousing speech at the raucous 1972 Democratic National Convention. And she spoke movingly about Rep. Speier's injuries when she and Congressman Leo Ryan were shot, Ryan fatally, on a tarmac as they attempted to investigation the Peoples Temple cult in Guyana. The Jonestown massacre, as it came to be known, claimed the lives of 918 in 1978, most in a mass murder in which many were forced to take their own lives.
Foltz, Napolitano noted, authored a state bill that replaced "white male" with "person," allowing women and people of color to become attorneys in California. In September 1878, she passed the bar and became the first woman admitted to the California Bar. At the insistence of its women students, Hastings College of the Law granted Foltz a posthumous degree of Doctor of Laws in 1991.
"You have received a Hastings education," she told graduates. "So you know the role that public service plays in giving a career, and a life, true purpose. … Now it's your turn. What will be your path? I, for one, am excited to see what this, the Class of 2014, will accomplish." (Read the full speech here.)
Valedictorian Max Mazzelli '14 spoke of the diversity of the class, and his steadily deteriorating eyesight. "I literally can't see anything beyond this podium," referring to the reading load of the "three-year emotional hurricane that is law school."
Each year, the graduating class votes on one student and one professor to address the graduates. This year, John Beard gave a humorous account of the wisdom he gained at the Tenderloin bar the Brown Jug and "clerkships at the food court in the mall."
Some people think "success is fleeting, failure is forever," he said. "And that's not true."
"At least I don't think it is. If you don't believe me, then you must either feel untouchable or doomed. Both are equally boring, and whichever way you swing, your stories will suck. If people still had cocktail parties, no one would want to talk to you. I think I promised you optimism earlier. That still may or may not happen. "
"I guess what I am trying to say is don't mind losing a bit here and there. Each loss is but a scratch. Take heart that no one has yet to say death by a thousand scratches."
He concluded with sage advice from playwright George Bernard Shaw. 'I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and besides the pig likes it.' With all respect to Shaw, if you care to learn anything from anyone today, it's the pig. One, they are intelligent. Two, they look out for each other. And three, when it comes to success and failure, it's all just mud so you might as well find a way to enjoy all of it. "
But the crowning moment of the event came in the address given by Professor John Crawford. He delivered a humble and bittersweet message to graduates, who entered UC Hastings the same year he joined the college to teach Property Financial Crises and the Regulation of Financial Institutions.
After quoting Rainer Maria Rilke's gentle wisdom of being patient enough to "live ourselves into the answers" of the questions of our lives, he ended with a cappella tribute to the Class of 2014, singing Adele's "Someone Like You."
Never mind we'll find someone like you.
We wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget us, we beg
We remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in law,
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Graduates applauded wildly, and then dispersed to Grove Street for a small street party.

Taking poetry on the road
POETRY SLAM: Roxanne Whiting's English class performed round two of a poetry slam recently at Deb's Bakery, Diner & Donuts where students act out poetry they write or select from other authors. Whiting said 65 students were in round one. That was whittled to the 20 who performed at the donut shop. Five will advance to finals at Stone Hearth Estates where Josh Clark was declared the winner by judges who decide who advances and who wins. Last year's slam winner was Lauren Schmiett who returned this year as slam master.
Pictured (right) are judges (clockwise from foreground) Schmiett, AJ Whiting, resource teacher Carol Keiser, Becki Wardyn and Nikki Brand. Left, Mackenzie Brand performs. This was the third year of the contest that Whiting said is a competitive art of performance poetry that takes place in coffeehouses and bars across the nation.

Sandy Alomar, Jr. Could Be Next Up for an Interview and Other Bullets
Maybe I don't appreciate the beauty of defense, but a 9-6 game with a bunch of turnovers, missed field goals, and stupid plays is not the "biggest game ever." Neither is it particularly interesting. Way to waste my Saturday night, Alabama and LSU.
- The Cubs are getting their managerial ducks in a row. As noted yesterday, Brewers' hitting coach Dale Sveum and Rangers' pitching coach Mike Maddux are expected to interview Monday and (approximately) Wednesday of this week, respectively. And Dave Kaplan reports Indians' bench coach Sandy Alomar, Jr., 45, is also expected to interview later in the week. You'll note that all of Sveum, Maddux, and Alomar – as well as the Cubs' first interviewee, Pete Mackanin – are also Red Sox interviewees.
- Kaplan also says the Cubs are expected to speak to Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale at some point in the near future.
- Another source says an Epstein/Terry Francona reunion in Chicago is unlikely.
- Grantland's Jonah Keri offers five tips for Theo and Jed over the Winter. I don't hate any of them, but neither do I entirely agree: (1) Sign Grady Sizemore (shrug, fine if cheap (but that's what every team is thinking)); (2) long-term deal for Matt Garza (eh – Cubs can afford to take him through arbitration, and I'd just as soon see the Cubs shop him); (3) don't sign Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder because there are too many red flags for the extreme cost (agree on the former, probably agree on the latter); (4) keep spending big in the draft (fo shizzle); (5) hire a manager who fits the philosophy, rather than a "name" (agreed, obviously, and it seems clear this is the direction the Cubs are going).
- Comparing Theo Epstein to another executive pulled away from a successful organization in the hopes that he could revamp the Cubs. Namely, Dallas Green.
- The half of the AFL on which the Cubs are represented got spanked in the Rising Stars Game yesterday, thanks primarily to a rough outing from top overall pick in this year's draft, Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole. Junior Lake had a double in three at bats and a throwing error. Chris Carpenter got a couple guys out, and Trey McNutt struck out the only batter he faced.
- Speaking of the 21-year-old Lake, Baseball America's Jim Callis is a fan: "He might have the best infield arm in the entire minors, he has above-average raw power and he's suddenly running wild on the bases this year. He probably winds up moving to third base in the long run because he's so big (6 foot 3, 215 pounds), but he has the tools to profile as an everyday guy there."
- Fluff on Lake.
- Friends of the program over at North Side Baseball are running a free agent signing contest (for fun).

That is my FICO score and $1600 is per year. 1 year is my AAOA
These prime lenders are denying you because you do not have enough established credit history and your income is not sufficient to justify the awarding of substantial credit. The parent-credit aided FICO score is nice, but without a solid credit and income history to back it up, the risk to prime lenders is not mitigated.
Take heart...managing credit responsibly over time will fix what ails you now. We've all been there...patience is your friend
I'm making so little a year because as I said I'm a student. I live with my mom and sister so I don't have bills other than phone, and car. I just want to know if there is a good credit card company for Full-time students. I don't care what the limit is of interests rate because I will pay in full every month.
my mistake i make 4800 a year

There have been cases where wells Fargo has handed credit cards to students with low income. If you bank with them, that would be one of the very limited, if any, options available.
I would suggest opening a joint credit card with one of your relatives that has good credit history/income mix. The limit you get there will make other lenders grant you similar amounts when you apply later on.
The WF Student card has a minimum income requirement of $3000, so it is definitely a possibility for OP, but they accept almost NO ONE who doesn't bank with them.
OP: Are any scholarships and grants you get from your school included in your income? You're allowed to report any rewards you get from your school (with the exception of student loans, IE: You cannot report anything you have to pay back) in your income. Also, many student cards will often require you to send verification of your enrollment in order to be approved.
Also, you aren't subtracting the cost of your school from your icome, are you? Just because you are spending the money, doesn't mean it isn't income. There was one person who posted once that said they only made 2-3 thousand dollars because they kept subtracting all of their bills from their income.
If you're looking into the WF Student card, and you don't bank there, I would suggest going into a branch and opening up a college combo ($100 minimum deposit, not a big deal) and then have the banker you do that with submit an application for you. They approved me without even asking me about my income or anything, the banker did the application for me after I had left.
My first student credit card was Capital One Journey.
It's a nice starting card to have. It does give you 1% cashback on all transactions which is a bonus and an additional .25% if you pay on time.
As others have stated though, depending on what you put down as your income, tbat may automatically deny you. I will warn you that Capital One will pull from all 3 CRAs so be cautious if you have a lot of inquiries as it is; however, I had quite a few when I applied and that didn't stop me from getting the card after just having a few months history on a secured card.
I have Citi Forward as well, but they require more credit history to be established on multiple accounts first before getting approved.
Try going around your local CU to apply for a student card. If anything you can open up a secured credit card until your income is more sufficient and established a longer credit history.

I was in a similar situation last year. I was college student and only made around 2500/yr. I applied for a credit card with a local CU and was approved for a $500 limit. Hope everything works out.
I spoke to citi again. I forgot to add some amounts and updated my applications and was approved! 1100 spending limit which is perfect for me!
Congrats on the approval!

Also, windows 10 upgrade is fantastic. To anyone who doesn't have it already, your missing out!
W10 is cool and nice to use. Though I get glitches on video files (online as well) ever since I upgraded. Reinstalling/updating drivers didn't fix it either.
Also a reminder to turn off the native keylogger that W10 has. http://thehackernews.com/2015/09/win...-security.html
My current laptop (Toshiba Satellite, AMD, RAM 4GT, originally Windows 7 but now Windows 10 Home 64-bit) is living its final days...
So I was thinking (I need to) buy a new laptop (Lenovo B50-10 15,6", Intel, RAM 4GT but I'd expand it to 8GT, Windows 10) and I want to ask your thoughts on it.
All I need from my laptop is a good sized screen, can manage photo editing programs has speed & ability to stream lots and lots of videos online.
So a basic laptop for browsing & video streaming. I don't want to (and I can't) pay more than 400€.
Kinda hate laptops these days.... Will buy a Tablet soon.
13.3" and not too heavy, touchscreen so I can kind of use it like a tablet.
I also just won a Google Home at a party last night, but my house isn't all wired up.
What can I do with it???

The passport of the coach expired so there's now doubt if he can make the trip.
Surely wouldn't take weeks to get a passport? Can get a brand new UK or USA passport within 24 hours.
Yeah will have to go the emergency route though.
I hadn't realised that Richards is 33 and Dowlin 32, I thought this was a team of youngsters. Powell would have made it four over-30s if he'd gone.
they should bring Lara back, its not too late, he has only been gone for 2 years. he can get back in to the groove of batting quickly

Updates from the Hockey World
So there seems to be a decent amount of activity in the hockey world this week. Normally we would be sitting here, scraping the bottom of the barrel putting up tired, old topics of how to free up cap room as filler (or actually working at our real, full-time jobs). But now that there is actually something to talk about in the hockey world, I'm going to have to apologize (to myself and to Trogdor) for pushing some recent articles down. So be sure to check those out afterwards. Anyways, here is one mondo post to gather up all these topics for discussion in the comments section.
So let's start with today's big headline and the source of the picture above.
Marleau Stripped of Captaincy
TSN is reporting that the San Jose Sharks are currently captainless. No alternates either (for 08/09 these belonged to Joe Thornton and Mike Grier). As it stands, it sounds like the Sharks are going to let the training camp decide who earns the "C", and that very well could be Marleau again. But clearly the Sharks are looking for an answer for the teams lack of success in the second season. Marleau has been rumored in several trades this year, so don't be surprised if something happens here.
Team Canada's New Duds
Today Team Canada unveiled their new jersey design (complete with new logo, since the douchebags at the IOC wouldn't let us use the Hockey Canada logo). Let me be one of the first to say that the new logo is pretty. I think I see the Air Canada logo above the two birds in the middle… all that seems to be missing is the Timmy Horts logo somewhere.
Big Bert Back to Motown
As per TSN, Todd Bertuzzi will head back to Detroit. The deal is a 1-year deal worth $1.5M. At that price, it's hard not to like that deal for the Wings.
Moose Doing Coffee Runs for Slats
Mark Messier has been hired on as "Special Assistant" to Sather. Funny, I would have picked someone prettier for that role. Details on TSN.
Vinny Prospal Signs in New York
I only mention this because his name was thrown around here as to who the Oil should sign. He signed for a pretty bargain-basement price at $1.1M for one year. Hard to say that this is a bad signing. Pretty good, considering how the Rangers like to throw the cash around. Should the Oil have taken a stab at signing him?
20 Cent Update
Much like many of us have done after a night of drinking, Patrick Kane woke up the next morning, puke in hair and offered an apology for the ass he made of himself (ok, it wasn't exactly the next night.. but I'm pretty sure he was good and hammed for a few days and it took a while for his brain cells to come back). The latest dirt on Kane has him plea bargaining to lesser charges to avoid spending the night in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. He's too pretty for jail. Read more on TSN.
And that's the news, and I.. am… outta here.
6 Responses to "Updates from the Hockey World"
I find it funny how the Lightning are still paying Prospal (1.9 mil from the buyout) more than the Rangers are (1.1 mil)!!!
I've always liked Prospal. Not sure why we wouldn't try and sign him really. I've been an advocate of this in the past when he was available. Good/potentially great signing by the Rags.
Bertuzzi deja vu all over again. He had a decent year last year and they will be giving him lots of ice time with Hudler and Hossa gone. He'll do well I think.
Also, this gives me a reason to not like Kane. His "appology" was a joke. He's so guilty. Out of court settlement coming up for sure.

So.. What Do You Think - Using Evaluative Questions with Literature
Lesson 3 of 15
Objective: SWBAT use evaluative questions about the text and illustrations to increase their understanding of literature.
- Covered Wagons, Bumpy Trails by Verla Kay
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: questioning, inferring, literal, evaluative, literature, opinion, rhyme
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'So… What do YOU think' worksheet**
- 'Literal/Inference Question Words' chart
- 'Evaluative Question Words' chart
- clipboards for the students
- teacher clipboard with worksheet
This lesson is the one of the first lessons I have taught about using the questioning strategy to improve comprehension. My students are able to ask lots of questions, but they tend to be literal and always start with 'wh'. Using questioning to improve comprehension is not a reading strategy that they often employ.
In this lesson, the students ask and answer to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text (RL.2.1), which supports the shift in Common Core Standards toward using text evidence to improve comprehension. They also look at the rhythm and rhyme of text (RL.2.4) that adds so much to the meaning of this text in particular.
I chose this book because the text is understandable, it is poetry, and the illustrations are wonderful. We have practiced asking questions and determining where to find the answers in a 2 previous lessons, including The Whys and Whens of Questioning and Big Questions About Informational Text. We're continuing that skill today and using evaluative questions.
**I'm attaching an alternative evaluative questions worksheet because I taught this lesson 2 years later on another informational topic - plants. This worksheet is more generic and has less writing. I'll actually use this one from now on, regardless of the topic.
Resources (6)
Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words.
Common starting point
- "We have practiced different kinds of questioning that helps us read better."
- "What kinds of questions can we ask and where do we find the answers?" literal with answers in the text and inferential with answers that we have to use our background knowledge plus clues in the text to answer.
Get students engaged
- "I brought some clipboards today - you'll be questioning people about their opinions."
- "What's an opinion?" Take ideas - make sure kids know they are what people think based on their experience and that opinions are not 'right' or 'wrong'.
- "Tell me your opinion and I'll record it on my worksheet" (with the clipboard- demonstrate this now because the students will do this later)
- "What do you think about having lunch before recess. Tell me your opinion and why you feel that way." I used this question because my kids had their recess and lunch switched this year so I know they have opinions about this.
- Ask several students and record their answers on the board on the worksheet format. Here's my worksheet with questions.

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "Yesterday you learned how to ask literal and inferential questions about a book."
- "Now that you're in 2nd grade, you're ready to ask some evaluative questions about text as well."
- "These questions let us share our opinions. When you answer these questions, you have to give reasons why you have that opinion."
Introduce strategy - modeling
- "The book is about early American settlers. It has some cool rhymes, figurative language and great illustrations in it that really add to the meaning!"
- "To share our opinions, we'll use evaluative questions that...
- require to give an opinion, a judgement or decision.
- have more than one answer.
- need proof from the text or from your background knowledge.
- help you learn as you listen to others' questions."
- "Some evaluative questions start the words - 'Do you think' and 'Is....' ." write these on the chart. I prompted with some of the words.
- Read the first 2 pages and look at the illustrations. "Here's an example of an evaluative question for the cover - Do you think this was an easy trip?" Take student's ideas and write them on the chart on the board. Encourage and prompt them to give reasons for their opinion.
Review strategy - guided practice
- Read the next page - Model asking another question using the evaluating questions list.
- Ask students' opinions and record them on the list.
- You may need to prompt - here's how I prompted a student to give an opinion.
- This is what my completed whiteboard looked like.
Resources (3)
Students Take a Turn
Assign Task
- Here's how it looked when I explained the task to students.
- "Let me finish the book and then I'll give you a few moments to write 2 opinion questions."
- "The questions need to start with the words from the list."
- Prompt students to reread and edit their questions. Here's a student who rereads with reminder to use questions mark and how I prompted a student to check their work.
- "When we're all done, you'll put your paper on the clipboard and ask 2 different friends their opinion. Don't forget to ask them WHY they have that opinion."
Although rhyming and figurative language was not the focus of this lesson, I did mention how this kind of wording added a great tone and rhythm to the story. The Core Standards encourage students to use this kind of text to add meaning to what they read. (RL.2.4)
Monitor work
- Walk around and check on students - make sure they are using a variety of words.
- When all students are done, have them get up and ask questions and record answers.
- Here how it looked when one of my students was asking for opinions. I did prompt him to support his opinion as well.
Resources (4)
Share What You've Learned
Share what you know
- "Who would like to share one of your questions? Do you think anyone else has the same questions?"
- Kids share questions and an opinion. Here are 2 examples - student worksheet 1 and student worksheet 2.
- "What did we learn today about the settlers who went West?"
- "Did you enjoy the poetry traits - figurative language and rhyming? How did it help you understand better?"
- "Were the illustrations helpful to you? How?"
- "Did it help you to hear other people's opinions?
- "Were the opinions right or wrong?" That was a great discussion.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with limited language and vocabulary will need a partner or need to sit with the teacher during the writing portion of the activity. You could also prompt them with questions and vocabulary on their desk.
Students with more ability should be encouraged to write more in-depth questions. Encourage them to ask questions that have strong opinions and use higher level vocabulary.

Kate Moss Does Good Versus Evil 'W' Magazine Covers
Kate poses in two very different beauty looks for 'W' magazine's March covers. It just goes to show what a difference makeup can make!
The biggest differences in these two cover photos from The Huffington Post of Kate Moss are her lip color and the color of her lace wrap. Her "evil" cover shows Kate in black lace and an incredibly dark, matte lipstick. The "good" cover depicts a more bridal beauty look with nearly no makeup and white lace. Which look do you think suits Kate best?
According to W magazine editor Stefano Tonchi, the covers are a play on the classic good girl versus bad girl dichotomy.
"This season, however, the good girls seemed to constantly stray into bad-girl territory, and vice versa. Designers are too savvy to go for straightforward cliches, and what I found most interesting was the way in which they tweaked familiar archetypes," Stefano said in a statement.
Considering that Brad Pitt just called Angelina Jolie a "bad girl," it's certainly a reoccurring theme in beauty, fashion and the celeb world!
Do you think your beauty preference tends towards the good or evil looks shown here?

EC: Allen-Bradley ArmorStart LT Distributed Motor Controllers
Power - Motor control : Allen-Bradley ArmorStart LT distributed motor controllers offer a compact, modular solution that puts motor control on or near the machine, ideal for light-industrial, material-handling applications. This is a Control Engineering 2013 Engineers' Choice Award winner.
Machine builders can now offer customers a compact distributed motor controller that easily installs on the machine without an enclosure, and quickly connects to the enterprise network, thanks to the new family of Allen-Bradley ArmorStart LT distributed motor controllers from Rockwell Automation.
ArmorStart LT distributed motor controllers are ideal for coordinating conveyor motor systems used in material-handling and packaging applications, and other types of warehouse distribution systems. The new family of distributed motor controllers provides the advantages of On-Machine architecture, a pre-engineered system that helps simplify wiring, speeds up commissioning time, and reduces the need for extra cabinet space.
ArmorStart LT controllers with EtherNet/IP connectivity improve the exchange of critical information about machine performance and component health, while allowing operators to access parameters, status and diagnostics, regardless of location. The ArmorStart LT controller is ideal in size and weight for most general material-handling applications, making it easier to integrate on or near the conveyor or machine.
Installation also is simplified by the distributed motor controllers' dual-port EtherNet/IP switch technology, which supports device-level ring (DLR) network topology. DLR-based networks reduce configuration time and costs by minimizing the number of managed switches and reducing cabling needs. Users can create one DLR network that connects all components at the device level locally. Information can be seamlessly communicated in real time to various levels of an organization, without additional complexity.
The distributed motor controllers include an add-on profile for Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000, the software used to program Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable controllers from Rockwell Automation. The add-on profiles automatic, predefined tag names provide manufacturers with a common language that can help improve consistency, along with programming speed and efficiency.

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.
This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide.
Spain´s highest mountain @(3715m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies.
A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April (http://bit.ly/g3tsDW) and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes.
Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.

Press Release
June 07, 2012
Contact: Ron Klug, 518-486-6976
Department of Financial Services Foreclosure Prevention Specialists Available to Meet Homeowners at Wyandanch Senior Nutrition Center, 28 Wyandanch Ave. from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, June 8
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and Benjamin M. Lawsky, Superintendent of Financial Services, today announced that Department of Financial Services mortgage foreclosure prevention specialists will be available to offer help to Suffolk County area homeowners who are already in foreclosure or at risk of foreclosure from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, June 8 at the Wyandanch Senior Nutrition Center, 28 Wyandanch Ave. in Wyandanch.
Governor Cuomo said "It is essential that we provide as much help as possible to financially-troubled homeowners. The objective is to provide direct help to homeowners and get the word out to others that it's important to ask for help as quickly as possible. The longer a homeowner waits, the harder it may be to save a home."
Earlier this year, Governor Cuomo created the Foreclosure Relief Unit within the Real Estate Finance Unit of DFS.
Senator Owen H. Johnson said, "Families are struggling to stay in their homes in this difficult economy and need to know there are services available to help them. Homeowners can speak one-on-one with trained professionals to learn about services to help them stay in their homes. I thank the Department of Financial Services for partnering with me to offer this essential service to local residents."
Assemblyman Bob Sweeney said: "This is an important initiative designed to help homeowners greatly increase their ability to stay in their homes. It is important that people in foreclosure seek help as soon as possible. The longer they wait, the more difficult it becomes to manage the process."
The Department's foreclosure prevention specialists will meet with homeowners to assess where they are in the pre-foreclosure or foreclosure process. They will offer:
- Information about specific loan modification programs which may be available to homeowners;
- Guidance on how homeowners can file complaints with the Department so that cases of lender or mortgage servicer abuses, such as predatory lending practices, can be investigated.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved housing counselors will also be available.
The foreclosure prevention specialists will meet with homeowners inside the Department's Mobile Command Center, a 36-foot long vehicle. Homeowners should bring with them any documents relevant to their individual situations, such as records of mortgage payments or letters to them from lenders or mortgage servicers.
Homeowners may also file complaints using the Department website, www.dfs.ny.gov. Also, information may be obtained by calling the Department's toll-free foreclosure hotline, 1-800-269-0990 or 518-457-1654, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
DFS urged homeowners to be wary of mortgage rescue scams, which may be marketed by private businesses.
Beware of anyone who asks for an upfront fee in exchange for getting you a loan modification, saving your home from default or stopping a foreclosure or tax sale. New York law prohibits the collection of such fees in most cases. Also, many not-for-profit housing counselors will help you negotiate with your lender for free.
Beware of anyone who says they can save your home if you sign or transfer the deed to your house over to them so you can catch up on your mortgage payments or refinance your loan. Never submit your mortgage payments to anyone other than your mortgage company without its approval.
The Department is sending foreclosure prevention specialists to assist homeowners at sites across the state, particularly where there are high concentrations of homeowners in or at risk of foreclosure. The Department's foreclosure prevention initiative was launched in February and has visited more than a dozen sites in the state as part of its outreach effort.

Ribbon cut to mark opening of Kinzua Sky Walk
MT. JEWETT --A tornado in July 2003 toppled the midsection of the Kinzua Viaduct and virtually knocked out the area's major tourist attraction.Mother Nature won this battle, but the ingenuity of man has overcome that setback with the construction of the Kinzua Sky Walk-- a pedestrian walkway built atop the very towers that once supported the historic Kinzua Bridge near Mt. Jewett."Out of the disaster of the tornado, the idea to re-invent the park-side towers into the Kinzua Sky Walk was created," Linda Devlin said Thursday at a program prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Sky Walk. "The end result is spectacular."Devlin is the executive director of the Bradford-based Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau (ANFVB), which has played a major role in reviving the Kinzua Bridge State Park as a destination for tourists.According to Devlin, "it is estimated that the Kinzua Sky Walk will bring $11.5 million additional tourism revenue into our local economy."The Sky Walk is a wooden walkway that provides visitors with a panoramic view of the Kinzua Creek Valley and the steel rubble from the bridge-- once the highest railroad span in the world. A glass floor at the valley end of the walkway enables visitors to see the support towers and the trees and vegetation below.The $4.3-million project, which began in 2009, includes wide paved paths to the Sky Walk from parking lots at McKean County's only state park.Rails still remain in the center of the walkway to remind visitors that trains once crossed the valley on the viaduct. The Knox and Kane Railroad operated an excursion train over the bridge for about 15 years from 1987 to 2002. Bridge-crossings ended in 2002 when it was determined that the bridge needed improvements to be safe. The renovations were under way when the tornado struck and downed the midsection of the bridge.
