Runners Club at Wakeland Elementary promotes exercise as well as community
Hundreds of children come to the dusty track before school starts for Wakeland Elementary School's running club.
Coach Jan Dart wants it to be a habit. She wants it to stick. School exercise is also the law; students at this age need 30 minutes of activity per day.
In the beginning, there was no track at Wakeland. So Dart measured out the length of a course in the grass behind the school on 27th Street East.
Later, teachers would vote to use extra funds to level a dirt track. Seven laps equal a mile.
Now, six years after that first humble course, students compete for trinkets and bragging rights. Sometimes, they run with their parents in tow. At an early age, they understand the importance of being healthy.
Some will run a mile or two before school starts. Others will finish a few laps, wheeze and laugh or chat with their friends.
On a recent day, kids ran in green T-shirts — a marker of their membership in Wakeland's 100-mile club. Last year, 33 students hit that elusive number by the end of the school year. A handful are in the 200-mile club, and running toward 300.
"It's not become a Runners Club," Dart says. "It's become a community activity."
They earn their first chain at five miles, and then trinkets to add to a necklace for miles after that.
Jerry Richardson, 9, will count them out for you. One, two, three . . . all the way to 14.
Parents volunteer
About 25 parents regularly volunteer at Running Club. They pass out Popsicle sticks to children to mark their laps. They help tally the miles when it's done. Later this year, they will have another responsibility: keeping track of students about to hit the club and getting ready with the traditional celebratory banner.
"I'm lying in my bed at 6:30 and my son is peering over me like, "Let's go to Running Club," said Alicen Gordon, who brings children Madison and Ryan to the club most mornings.
Angelo Campanale can do that math — 100 miles is 700 Popsicle sticks. The number is daunting even for the veteran 100-mile clubber.
He's shooting for 200 now. Keeping up with his friends, Noah and Louise, keeps him motivated.
Why does he like running?
"Because it gets your heart rate up," he says, as if to say: "Don't you know that?"
Coach Dart laughs and beams.
"Good answer."
The plaques line the main hallway. Names fill two 100-mile club plaques. The third bears only three names for the 200 mile club, but needs to be updated to accommodated a few other accomplished runners.
Maureen Marhold is a proud mother. Her daughter, Emily, was a stand-out member of the club and is the first member of the 100-mile club. This year, Emily made the varsity cross-country team at Southeast High School. She remembers the beginning.
"Kids weren't waking up," Marhold says. "They weren't getting enough exercise as it was."
Now, legacy inspires others.
Dart points to Isiah, who ran 100 miles last year as a kindergartener. His older brother Zachary is leading the class, well on his way to 300 miles. Isiah doesn't want to stay and chat. It's 7:45 a.m. and the whistle has blown, which means he has about 30 minutes to pack in as many miles as he can.
Julie McCray son's are in the 200-mile club. The brothers are competitive, with their classmates and each other.
Connor has a crop of golden curls. Noah sports a fedora to school and doesn't remove it for his laps. McCray comes most mornings, and has coordinated the parent volunteers for several years through a private Facebook group.
"They know they can only hit their goals if they get here in time," she says."
Sometimes they find that sharing the goals is a little more rewarding.
When Noah and his friend Sam Jones realized they were both close to 100 miles for the year, they decided to run their last laps together.
Noah's mom had the banner ready.
Marylee Webley jokes that her pants have been a little looser since she started running with her daughter, Priscilla, 6, at the track in the mornings.
The Wakeland Elementary nurse secretly wants to earn her first chain, but she also revels in the lesson the club is sending to children who she wants to be concerned about their health.
"This is the age where everything they carry for the rest of their lives is now," Webley said. "This is something they are going to continue to do, whether it's running or walking."
Before running club, life was a dull routine for Hunter Verhelst, 11.
"It was go home, eat dinner, go to bed," the Johnson Middle School sixth-grader said as he patrolled the track on a recent morning. Hunter is using required volunteer hours at his new school to give back to his old club, and hang out with his little brother Dylan, who still attends Wakeland.
"It was really fun for us," Hunter says with earnest, as if remembering something that happened a long time ago. "Because everyone came with their objectives, but we still got to talk on the track."
What keeps kids coming, eager to rise earlier than necessary to run laps before the school day?
Peer pressure could play some some role. More than half of the school's population — 480 students — have registered this year. And parents and teachers say the program is not just an exercise opportunity, but a positive excuse for kids to socialize and expel energy before the school day.
"I hate running," a girl shouted recently without stopping. She held three Popsicle sticks.
Why was she there?
"My friends," she shrugged and took off chasing a squealing girl.
Zachary Jones, 10, is the fifth-grader whom running club members look up to. He sports Vibram FiveFingers running shoes.
He can't tell you how many total miles he's run because he's lost track, but he knows he's knocked off about 33 miles this year.
"That's a hard question for you," his pal Connor says solemnly, who is often close behind. He's got 23 miles under his belt, like his younger brother, Noah.
They understand the impact they have on their younger classmates who have watched them push the limit.
"It feels important to have these people look up to you," Noah says shortly after the trio had posed for a picture with other 100-milers, as other runners looked on in envy.
"It's a really critical place to be," Zachary says.

Summer Research: Why is Mistletoe a Kiss Goodbye for White Spruce?
Story posted August 03, 2009
While a lip-lock may result from a chance meeting beneath a sprig of mistletoe, its encounter with a spruce tree can be the kiss of death.
The parasitic eastern dwarf mistletoe is a clingy and dangerous consort. It latches onto its host and slowly drains its life force — killing it in 10 to 20 years. Over the past quarter century, it has had a profound effect on the white spruce forests common along the coast of Maine.
This unhealthy relationship has long been studied by Barry Logan, associate professor of biology, and is the focus of a summer research project he's leading with three students.
In early July, Logan, Shem Dixon '11, Danielle Marias '10 and Stephanie Schmiege '10 traveled to Southport Island to see the damage at their field site firsthand.
Infected trees are easy to spot; they are the ones with "witch's brooms" — tangled masses of branches that stand in stark contrast to the organized, two-dimensional splays seen on healthy spruce trees.
"Branches on a typically uninfected tree array themselves in an orderly and mostly horizontal presentation to the sun, maximizing their ability to absorb sunlight," explains Logan.
Curiously, witch's brooms are often the healthiest branches on their host trees.
"The host is not recognizing its own infection as stressful," says Logan, explaining that the tree devotes its resources — water, mineral nutrients and sugars — to the infected branch, to the detriment of its other limbs.
"As the tree dies it's actually shedding healthy branches — uninfected branches — and preserving the infection when, at least to my mind, the ideal way of coping with this would be to kill off the infected branch, like taking off the infected limb to save the body. The tree is not doing that. It's doing exactly the opposite," says Logan.
"We think that it's playing out that way because the parasite is able to, in some ways, hijack the hormonal metabolism of the host because they're both plants."
Logan and his students are examining witch's brooms from a physiological standpoint to try to understand how the formation of those brooms may compromise the health of the host.
Their hypothesis is that, since the brooms are more shaded, they're not getting as much light, so they can't do much photosynthesis — a plant's process of taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make sugar — as light powers photosynthesis. If there's not enough light, photosynthesis will be compromised.
"That then is a contributing factor to the costs of infection," says Logan.
"Needles are all about gathering sunlight to do photosynthesis to pay back their construction costs and to support the tree. Growing them in witch's brooms is not a very good way to do that."
Logan's students are testing the hypothesis a number of ways.
Danielle Marias, a Gibbons summer research intern, will be using Y-Plant, a computer modeling program developed by plant biologists at the University of California-Davis.
It enables researchers to input measurements of the architecture of the plant — the angle of the branches, the distance between branches, and the size of the leaves or needles.
"If you punch in all those parameters you can construct a plant model in a computer, and then with that you can move the sun over the plant and look at any given moment of the day how efficient is it at capturing light, how much self-shading is it experiencing," says Logan.
"This is the first time Y-Plant has been considered to be used for conifers, let alone using it to study the brooms of mistletoe infection, so that's an exciting aspect of my part of the project," says Marias.
"We don't know what the results will be at all, we don't know what's going to happen, which makes it intriguing and exciting."
Stephanie Schmiege, A Surdna fellow, is also examining light intensities, but by way of an empirical approach; she'll affix sensors that measure light intensities at various depths through the broom and collect, over the course of a sunny day, light penetration levels.
The project is a familiar one for Schmiege. As a first-year, she looked at the effects of mistletoe, as well as water intake and its role in the death of the spruce, as part of Logan's Plant Physiology course.
"So now I'm taking a different aspect and I'm looking at light absorption, how brooms affect light absorption and how that may also conspire to kill the spruce tree," says Schmiege.
"So taking a different aspect is really exciting."
Schmiege is also hoping to compare her results with those of Y-Plant, to see whether the program is an accurate representation of the effect of witch's brooms on self-shading.
Shem Dixon, A Rusack Coastal Studies fellow, is constructing a chamber to enclose an entire broom. Once sealed, the team can measure the rates of photosynthesis.
"It will help us evaluate the efficiency of the branch," says Dixon.
"It should yield some data we can use in conjunction with their data to further understand just exactly how the broom functions. One of the main goals is to figure out just how efficient they are compared to a branch with normal growth.
"Going through and testing various prototype chambers through trial and error and really applying my critical thinking skills is really what's exciting to me — constructing problems and finding a way to overcome them, being creative."
The pioneering work takes the team to beautiful locales along the coast of Maine, an added bonus notes Dixon, as the team hopes to make out well in its quest to embrace the mysteries of mistletoe's fatal attraction.

Mira Sorvino Will Play Jim Gaffigan's TV Wife
In the comedian's autobiographical CBS comedy pilot.
Stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan's autobiographical pilot at CBS has found its female lead in Mira Sorvino. Bearing Gaffigan's actual spouse's name, Sorvino will play Jeannie, "a super-wife and super-mom. The mother of five kids, she has a sixth child in the house: her husband Jim." Yes, it's going to be a banner pilot season for man-children, but Gaffigan might have something special here, with a script from Rescue Me creator and The Larry Sanders Show writer Peter Tolan.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch banks say a cyberattack has affected their online services, but did not breach the security of customers' accounts.
The Netherlands Association of Banks says Dutch and some foreign banks were hit by a denial-of-service attack, in which huge amounts of data overwhelm servers — like hundreds of letters being jammed through a mail slot at the same time.
The association did not say who was responsible for the attack Friday.
In the Netherlands, the attack temporarily forced Internet and mobile banking sites of the ING bank offline and also affected online payments for other banks.
The association stressed that bank customers could still get cash and pay bills at ATMs.

MichLUG and WMLTC are pleased to announce the formation of a new Lego club. Western Michigan LEGO® Train Club is a chapter of MichLUG and will share resources and members. We formed the chapter to better serve the needs of club members on this side of the state. It is our hope that with local meetings and events we can encourage more AFOLs to participate. While we've branded ourselves as a LTC, we are by no means only interested in Trains; Castle, Space, etc are all of interest to our membership.
We are actively looking for other adults passionate about the lego hobby who want to share creations with like minded enthusiasts. We currently expect that our show schedule will be more subdued that MichLUG's hectic pace of 20+ events a year. Perhaps aiming instead for 4 shows and 4 meetings a year.
Our first meeting will be on Decemeber 17th in Kalamazoo at David Kohrman's residence from 12pm-3pm, and our first show (under this name) will be on Decemeber 31st. All of our current membership are past and present members of MichLUG and/or other Lego clubs.

Golden Eagles leave for Sweet 16
Marquette won its only NCAA basketball championship in 1977 in Atlanta.
This year, the Final Four is once again in Atlanta, and the Golden Eagles need two more wins to advance to it.
Buzz Williams and his squad were sent off Tuesday afternoon with a mini-pep rally outside the Al McGuire Center.
The third-seeded Golden Eagles face the second-seeded Miami Hurricanes at 6:15 p.m. Thursday night in Washington, D.C.
Miami is in the Sweet 16 for just the second time in school history. Marquette hasn't won a Sweet 16 game since 2003.
"We could easily just give up, or we made it to the Sweet 16, nobody expected us to take it this far, we're good enough, we don't have to win this game. But I really feel like everybody's going to D.C. to win, and we're hungry, we're just hungry for more and want to keep winning," Vander Blue said.
"You know, when you get to where there's only 16 teams left playing, it's not one player, it's not two players, it's not one coach. Everybody is at an elite level, and everybody's playing for a national championship," coach Buzz Williams said.

Carolyn Marsden says that THE BUDDHA'S DIAMONDS was inspired by a talk given by Th y Ph p Ni m to the children of Deer Park Monastery. Th y Ph p Ni m's childhood experiences form the basis of THE BUDDHA'S DIAMONDS. A year after the storm depicted in the story, he escaped postwar Vietnam and became a Buddhist monk. All of his royalties will be donated to the Touching and Helping Programs in Vietnam.
She held out two pieces of bamboo and some pink paper, a bit of string, and a bottle of glue. "You brought everything," he said. "I remembered what you needed." Tinh stood on tiptoe and looked toward the soccer field. If there was a soccer game oing, he certainly didn't want to spend time with his sister. But it was probably too late to join the game. Plus his cousins would tease him for staying in the temple. Tinh sat down on a low wall and fastened Lan's bamboo sticks into the shape of a cross. When the sticks were firmly tied, he held the skeleton of the kite to the sky, imagining it floating in the soft blue. Lan wiggled in anticipation. As Tinh lowered the bamboo to his lap and stretched the pink paper over the cross, he thought of how the next day his sister would run along the beach, flying this kite. Last summer, Tinh had also flown kites. But when he'd turned ten at Lunar New Year, he'd left that childhood behind. Now, during the long days of summer vacation, it was his job to help Ba with the fishing. "Hold here," he said to Lan. Lan put her small finger on the paper while Tinh glued. "You need more string for a tail," he said when the paper was in place. "And some bits of cloth to tie on to the string." Just then, Tinh heard the shouts of Trang Ton, Dong, and Anh and then someone shushing them. Then, Tinh heard another sound-like a giant mosquito. He stood up to look. Zooming ahead of the four boys came a miniature red car. Tinh stepped back. The car drove itself. It ran up the dusty path and across the flagstones of the courtyard as if by magic. The little kids stopped their war games to watch. Adults leaned out the temple doors, fingers to their lips. "Want to try, Tinh?" Trang Ton held out a small gray box. "Here, you just push this button to go forward, this one to go back. These"-he touched two more buttons-make the car go left and right." Tinh reached for the remote control. It was heavier than it looked. He tapped the button on the left, and the car drove toward a palm tree. He maneuvered the car around the base of the tree. He drove it to the edge of the stone steps, then backed it up. He loved the feeling of power in his hands. "Now it's my turn," said Phu, one of Trang Ton's younger cousins. Tinh handed over the box. This car was a diamond the monk didn't know about. No one in the village could afford a remote controlled car. Trang Ton had an uncle who'd escaped by boat to America. That uncle worked in an office and sent back money and gifts like the soccer ball and the car. The uncle's generosity enabled Trang Ton's family to live in a brick house instead of a hut made of bamboo. The bell sounded three times, and Phu held his finger over the remote control, poised for action. All eyes were on the red car, now half submerged in a pile of faded bougainvillea flowers. The vibrations stopped, and Phu backed the car up. The adults emerged from the temple, talking and laughing among themselves. As the nuns spread a feast of fruit on a long table set up in the courtyard, Tinh turned his attention from Trang Ton's red car. He loaded his arms with vanilla mangoes, finger bananas, a stick of sugarcane, and a bunch of longan. He plucked a round longan fruit from the stem and sunk his teeth into the hard skin. The fruit burst open, white and sweet. From the Hardcover edition.

In Good Time, The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland, part of the free Jazz Fest Movie Series at the Little Theatre
Fri, 06/29/2012 - 8:00pm - 10:00pm
"If there ever was a lady with a capital "L" who has earned her recognition in jazz, it is Marian McPartland."
It's a Jazz Fest Free-for-All from WXXI and the Little Theatre! Every evening during the Jazz Fest, we're proud to bring you this free screening. Join AM1370's Jazz from the Cellar host Tom Hampson on Friday, June 29 at 8 p.m. as he introduces the film In Good Time, The Piano Jazz of Marian McPartland, a documentary about the life and career of jazz legend Marian McPartland as a musician, composer, and host of National Public Radio's Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. Immediately following the screening, Tom will host a talkback with the film's producer, Huey.
A film by Huey, this documentary tells the story of now 93, McPartland through interviews filmed over 4 years featuring her own musical compositions and piano improvisations. A native of England, McPartland arrived in America in 1948 with her husband Jimmy McPartland and established herself as a leading musician in the male dominated jazz world.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Miss McPartland is the cleverest, most intelligent and talented woman to have graced our music," reviewed Steve Voce, Jazz Journal, May 2012, UK.

Four wonderful new pictures...
Here's one that I got to qualify for the MegaFamily board. Just a nice size family!
The above photo says "Dr. Cosner, Dec. 1920" I love the chubby-cheeked toddlers, and the little one looks so cheeky with that grin, perhaps not quite as dignified as her doctor father!

Defending Virtual Crimes
A true story. Defense counsel stood before the court and argued for almost an hour and a half providing reason, legal theory, and precedent supporting his request to inspect the computer and files seized pursuant to a search warrant in a computer child pornography prosecution. When he sat, he looked at his co-counsel. Each could tell what the other was thinking. The judge had to release the evidence. Fundamental fairness—the very foundation of the criminal justice system—dictated that the defense must have the opportunity to possess the evidence. Without it, an expert could not determine when the images were downloaded, whether they were actually downloaded from that computer, and whether any intrusions on the computer had compromised the investigation. These are but a few of the many facts that must be determined in child pornography cases. Even the defendant in his orange prison jumpsuit seemed to show some optimism for the first time in months.
The prosecutor stood and slowly walked to the podium. Her file was a fraction of the size of defense counsel's. With conviction she exclaimed, "But, Your Honor, this is child pornography." She took a deep breath and moved her way back to her seat. Everyone in the courtroom looked at each other. This must have been a joke.
But it was not a joke. In fact, it took the judge only about one minute to state his reasons for denying the defendant's motion, and they didn't stray far from the argument made by the prosecutor.
Computer child pornography cases are some of the, if not the, most difficult cases to defend today. Alleged offenders are vilified constantly in the media. Politicians call for stiffer penalties, and communities vote to exclude offenders from their neighborhood. A jury trial seems entirely unrealistic, and elect-ed judges find it unthinkable to release a defendant accused of such a crime; judges know full well that local newspapers and broadcast news stations would never recognize that the law might dictate a decision to release such a suspect. The media would simply characterize the judge as unfit to protect the citizenry.
To successfully defend these cases, counsel has to depart from the routine steps. The defense lawyer must first analyze the audience, whether it is the prosecutor during plea negotiations, the judge during evidentiary hearings, or the jury. The lawyer must understand the psychological aspect of the offense as he or she will be required to teach the audience; the need to humanize the offender is crucial. Throughout, counsel must question every aspect of the case, from the forensics to the integrity of the investigation. Realizing that a court may deviate from the strict application of the rules of evidence, counsel must be relentless in keeping the court on track.
Prosecutions involving computer pornography are in their infancy. The case law is just starting to evolve. It will do so rapidly as the number of cases have steadily climbed recently, owing to the federal government's recognition of growing computer use and consequent increased funding of prosecutions.
Today's successful defense practitioners know that to properly represent a client charged with some form of computer sex crime, they must dedicate themselves fully. A prolonged and dynamic effort is mandatory as the risk of unfavorable precedent looms ahead at every juncture.

I have an iPhone. I'm finding myself very prone to snapping photos now, whereas before I was completely unlikely to tote a camera. I also discovered that Movable Type works just fine on the iPhone, I even posted an entry on my personal blog from it while we were at the ice cream place.
But you know what? I want to put up a photo I just blogged. But transferring a photo via anything but email is a pain. Enter perl. I whipped up a perl script to receive iphone photo email, piped via procmail, and save the photo attachment to a path, then email back the phone address with the filename it used.

The more boats you have in the way of recovery or needing salvage after a hurricane, the longer the delay in returning to normal.
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) May 29, 2014
In the weeks after Superstorm Sandy struck Staten Island's Great Kills Harbor, orphaned boats littering city streets blocked traffic and interfered with access by emergency vehicles, and sailboat masts snagged in overhead wires delayed the return of much-needed electrical power. Keeping boats contained in Sandy would have facilitated recovery efforts on every front. "The more boats you have in the way of recovery or needing salvage after a hurricane, the longer the delay in returning to normal," said BoatUS Vice President Public Affairs Scott Croft.
With the Atlantic Hurricane season starting Sunday, June 1, BoatUS offers boat owners, public and private marina operators, boat club and community resiliency managers free information on preparing boats, marinas and boat clubs at the online BoatUS Hurricane Tracking and Resource Center (BoatUS.com/hurricanes). Included are:
1. The easy-to-download, print, post and share BoatUS Tips for Protecting Boats in Hurricanes (http://www.BoatUS.com/hurricanes/tipsheet) is a basic two-page primer on hurricane prep for all boaters in a hurricane state.
2. Boater's Guide to Preparing Boats and Marinas for Hurricanes (http://www.BoatUS.com/hurricanes/assets/pdf/swhurr_prep_guide.pdf) is the boaters guide on Hurricane prep 101, and has more details on protecting your boat and a marina.
3. What Works: A Guide to Preparing Marinas, Yacht Clubs and Boats for Hurricanes (http://www.BoatUS.com/hurricanes/assets/pdf/hurr_prep_guide.pdf) is a helpful resource for community resiliency managers, local government, marina and boat club staff that focuses on facilities.
Local emergency managers, marina or club fleet operators can also download a sampling of marina hurricane preparation plans to see how their local marinas compare, learn about the value of strapping down boats stored ashore, and view features on why some marinas fare better than others.
When a storm approaches, BoatUS.com/hurricanes also has up-to-the-minute storm tracking tools with live satellite images, as well as checklists for what to do before and after a hurricane strikes.
Much of the information provided comes from BoatUS and its Marine Insurance Catastrophe (CAT) Team, a national leader in hurricane preparedness that has over 30 years of storm salvage experience. Go to BoatUS.com/hurricanes for more.

Project will reduce congestion and restore an Olmsted park
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Friday that New York will construct a new traffic ramp that will connect the U.S. Peace Bridge Plaza directly to the northbound Thruway I-190. The new ramp is part of the New York Gateway Connections improvement project, which will reconfigure access to the U.S. Peace Bridge Plaza, reducing congestion and improving traffic flow for both commercial and private vehicles. This step, Cuomo said, will make the Peace Bridge a more effective conduit for travel and commerce between the U.S. and Canada. The project will also utilize the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy Master Plan, which was adopted into the City of Buffalo Comprehensive Plan, to revitalize the historic Front Park by removing Baird Drive.
"This project is a win for the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy and the Peace Bridge plaza neighborhood, because it will provide efficient and effective traffic movement between New York state and Canada and improve commerce between the two economies," Cuomo said. "By removing Baird Drive and having Peace Bridge traffic utilize Porter Avenue and the Thruway, we will move traffic away from a residential neighborhood, provide better border security and restore the historic character of Frederick Law Olmsted's Front Park."
The approximately $22 million project, which will create hundreds of jobs, including planners, engineers, suppliers and construction workers, is expected to begin construction in spring 2014 and be complete by the end of 2015. The state is currently fast tracking the environmental impact statement with concurrent design build procurement.
The plaza enhancements will include:
•Reconfiguring traffic flow to a single point of ingress and egress to and from the plaza.
•Adding a direct connection from the U.S. Plaza to the northbound Thruway I-190.
•Adding a new access point to the Peace Bridge from the City of Buffalo via Porter Avenue.
•Removing Baird Drive from Front Park.
"The Olmsted City, The Buffalo Olmsted Park System: Plan for the 21st Century," which was developed under the direction of the City of Buffalo and County of Erie, details six goals for restoration of Front Park. The "U.S., New York Gateway Connection Improvements" project addresses several of the goals: restoring the historic integrity of the park from the period of significance, restoring and enhancing the park's gateways and edges, establishing connections to areas surrounding the park and restoring the basic park elements. While the restoration of Front Park is complicated by its proximity to the Peace Bridge, New York state will, through this project, provide significant momentum to achieving the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy's restoration goals.
In addition, air quality will be improved by the elimination of traffic lights at the plaza and on Porter Avenue.
"Frederick Law Olmsted envisioned Front Park as Buffalo's 'public face' to our northern neighbors," said Congressman Brian Higgins, who in 2010 joined with the Olmsted Parks Conservancy in calling for the preservation of Olmsted's gateway vision for Front Park. "This significant investment by the governor continues our efforts to streamline the flow of traffic across our borders while enhancing the corridor that welcomes visitors into the City of Buffalo, both of which improve the neighborhood while building new economic opportunities for our city and region."
"I want to thank the governor for his leadership in restoring park land to Front Park, which also includes a plan to move traffic away from the adjacent residential neighborhood," said City of Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown.
Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy President and CEO Thomas Herrera-Mishler said, "The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy has long advocated for the removal of Baird Drive, taking bridge traffic out of this historic landscape and reconnecting Front Park to its community, allowing for another important step toward the restoration of Frederick Law Olmsted's first park and parkway system and enhancing the neighborhood. We applaud Gov. Cuomo for recognizing the importance of this goal and helping make it a reality."
State Sen. Mark Grisanti said, "I applaud the leadership of Gov. Cuomo, and all the partners working together on this project. As chairman of the environmental conservation committee, I am excited to see the green space persevered and restored around the peace bridge, and the jobs that will be created from it."
Assemblyman Sean Ryan said, "The positive impact that this project will have on Buffalo and Western New York cannot be overstated. The improvements to traffic flow will enhance commerce between the U.S. and Canada, and the associated reduction in congestion will help to improve air quality throughout the nearby west side neighborhoods. In addition, Olmsted's historic vision for Front Park will be restored for everyone to enjoy. Gov. Cuomo's commitment to progress at the Peace Bridge continues to bring good news for Western New Yorkers."
City of Buffalo Councilmember David Rivera said, "I am supportive of Gov. Cuomo's announcement that Baird Drive will be removed and land will be returned to the Olmsted Parks Conservancy and the visitors of Front Park. Additionally, I am pleased to see entry into the plaza will be improved to minimize idling vehicles. Moving the entry point further from the neighborhood is a positive step in the right direction towards a more environmentally friendly Peace Bridge Plaza."
NYSDOT Commissioner Joan McDonald said, "Under the leadership of Gov. Cuomo, the New York State Department of Transportation is commencing with a project to reconfigure access to the U.S. Peace Bridge Plaza. The connectivity between the plaza and the adjacent New York state interstate highway system and local streets will be enhanced, improving the traffic flow on this strategic trade corridor in the City of Buffalo, Erie County and in and out of Canada for both commercial and private vehicles. The associated removal of Baird Drive from historic Front Park will help to better align the park with the original vision of Frederick Law Olmsted."
Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority Chair Sam Hoyt said, "Gov. Cuomo and New York state provided the much-needed leadership to move this project ahead. The U.S., New York gateway connection improvements to the Peace Bridge will provide access improvements to the existing U.S. Peace Bridge Plaza utilizing community and Olmsted feedback, while enhancing the operations of border crossing facility at its current location."
In addition to this NYSDOT project, the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority continues its work on the U.S. Customs Commercial Building renovation, a $20 million-plus project expected to commence construction in the fall of 2013 and take 18 to 24 months. The PBA is also advancing the Peace Bridge approach-widening project, a $10 million-plus project to widen the throat of the bridge on the U.S. side to facilitate smoother traffic movements, thus alleviating congestion within the existing Peace Bridge U.S. Plaza. This construction is expected to start in the fall of 2013 and take 18 to 24 months to complete.

A greener Catholicism, with a "but"
The pope acknowledged--as he has often lately--that Catholics could be better stewards of the environment, according to the Times of India. He inserted a "but," however, arguing that "a materialistic world" that denies God is the greater danger to the planet. The pope is right on both counts, of course, and the two concerns are connected. But it would be nice if B16 could make one of these statements without the constant "but" that usually ends up making him look like a scold. We know he's capable of it.
As for me, this will be the last post on The Examined Life until September. I'm off to try to enjoy creation a bit more myself. First stop: Glacier National Park in Montana--where the last glacier is due to melt in 2030, thanks to global warming.

Best ever Bubble Bath
There is nothing like a soak with added Thymes Bubble Bath. I have been enjoying one for a while now and love the aroma plus the feel after the bath. It is truly sensual and rewarding. Very economical on usage it needs a small amount of mixture to till the bath tub. I have been using it for a while and already think of purchasing my next one. Thymes company has many excellent products, but this one is a true winner. I highly recommend it!

Love this!
I absolutely love this bubble bath. I have extremely sensitive skin and it is so hard to find a bubble bath that smells great but doesn't make me itchy or irritate my skin after bathtime. This bubble bath is great on my skin and the smell is fantastic. I love taking a bath right before bed because the smell lingers on my sheets and makes me feel like I am in a spa!! This seriously is the best product.

Difficult to find, love to enjoy!
Eucalyptus Bubble Bath is not an easy product to find in my area. Lotions are common; bubble bath not so much. I first encountered this product at a hotel shop in Orlando FL. Using it was a very pleasant surprise. Lots of fragrant bubbles from just a small capful! I just loved it. Returning to Western NY, I could not find it at local retailers so the website was my only option. My order came promptly but the biggest surprise with this order (with the exception of the many free samples enclosed) was the care given to protect the product in shipping. I could not to a better job preparing the package! I will return to the website soon! I highly recommend the Eucalyptus scent.

This is either the most awesome April Fools joke from an OEM ever, or the Honda NM4 is coming to America. Announced two weeks ago at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, the NM4, or "Vultus" as it's being called in Europe, features a 670cc two-cylinder engine for the US market (the machine seems to get a 745cc parallel-twin lump in other markets), and includes Honda's dual-clutch transmission.
Why the NM4 gets a capacity reduction for the American market is not clear to us, though the entire launch of the Honda NM4 has been a confusing one, as the motorcycle was debuted as a concept bike in Japan, and shortly thereafter announced as a production model for Europe (now for the USA & Canada as well). Effective communications aside, considering the favorable comments we got last month about the NM4/Vultus, Honda has a popular motorbike on its hands here.
Expect the 2015 Honda NM4 to hit the United States in June with a $10,999 MSRP price tag. You can get it in any color you want, as long as it's black. Pre-production photos are after the jump, along with the technical specifications for the American market.

OK, so it wasn't "The Last Exorcism" after all. Here's "Part II," an 88-minute bore without the nervy, shaky-camera found-footage conceit, without the doubting exorcist's moment of truth, without the chills of demonic possession thrills that the low-budget original film served up.
"Part II" is every bit as cheap and far more generic, nothing more than a run of the mill ghost story masquerading as "The Devil Made Her Do It."
Ashley Bell, as Nell, the teen lusted after by Lucifer, seems exhausted, frazzled, out of her acting league and nowhere near her teen years in this sequel. Nell has stumbled into New Orleans, hounded during Mardi Gras even as she tries to convince doctors and those in a mental health halfway house that "I'm not crazy."
But she's seeing her dead daddy (Louis Herthum). She's hearing voices.
Dogs bark at her passing, gorillas at the Audubon Zoo act up. And every Mardi Gras reveler in a scary mask stares her down. Frank (Muse Watson), who runs Deveroux Halfway House, could not be more wrong when he assures her, "Whatever you're running from won't find you here."
"Last Exorcism II" is a slower than slow thriller built around Bell, who isn't at her most subtle or empathetic here. There's fear and the burden of "If he seduces you, all hope is lost." Not that Bell gets that across. There's no urgency to the performance, or that of anybody else trying to save poor Nell from Hell.
It's a film of cheap shriek scares and fizzing frights that pack no punch. The tropes of the genre -- exorcists who have the tools but face long odds, bleeding walls, birds that fly into a house where Nell hides out (hey, it was ALIENS who caused that in "Dark Skies") -- are there. But the effects are skimpy and cheesy, with that crazy contortion business that the first "Last Exorcist" took to new extremes rarely used.
Filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly sets too much of the action in broad daylight, which isn't spooky. The dull acting doesn't hide that there's not enough story to justify setting this in Voodooville, USA -- New Orleans.
So one can only hope that when the say "The Last Exorcism," that they mean it.
Note: McClatchy-Tribune movie critic Roger Moore wrote this review.

From a nutrition standpoint, I've never felt bad about using frozen vegetables; I've always believed (and new studies back me up) that vegetables that are frozen just after harvest actually retain more nutrients than fresh vegetables that have been shipped long distances. In the winter months, when the only fresh, local produce I can get are the collards in my garden, frozen vegetables are a healthy alternative. From a taste standpoint, frozen vegetables wouldn't be my first choice for steaming or stir-frying, but they taste just fine in soups and stews where their texture doesn't need to be crisp.
This recipe, like most of my "ridiculously easy" recipes, was never meant to be shared on this blog. I just wanted something hot for lunch, and I started tossing frozen and canned ingredients together to taste. Somewhere along the line, probably when I added a turnip my mother recently gave me, I stopped thinking of this as a variation on my Dirty Little Secret Soup and as a recipe in its own right. It's not succotash, but the lima beans and corn are reminiscent of that dish, while the okra and turnips give it a little Southern flair. Give it a try, but don't be stingy with the Creole seasoning, which makes this homely stew something to sing—or blog—about.
Southern Succotash Stew
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 12 ounces baby lima beans, fresh or frozen
- 12 ounces frozen soup vegetables (mixture of carrots, corn, peas, green beans, etc.)
- 6 ounces okra, sliced, fresh or frozen
- 6 ounces green beans, fresh or frozen, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 large turnip, peeled and diced (may substitute potato)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (or more to taste)
- 7-9 cups hot water or vegetable broth
- In a large soup pot, sauté onion until soft. Add remaining ingredients along with 7 cups of the water or broth. Cook until turnips and other vegetables are tender, about 1 hour, adding more liquid as needed. Check seasoning, adding more Creole seasoning and salt to taste.
Serving Suggestion: Stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to each bowl just before serving.

Soul Music
Reviewer: Ajeet Kaur MN USA
I ordered the Chants of Baba Siri Chand because I really liked the 1st CD I purchased of Amandeep Singh. This CD is really beautiful & I highly recommend it. I especially love the chants Ad Such & Jai Sri Chander Deva. Even before I received this CD, Amandeep Singh recommended that I chant the Jai Sri Chander Deva mantra ~ and each day that I chanted this mantra, I had dreams that I was connecting to the vast ocean of wisdom from Guru Nanak, and others. On the third day, I dreamnt that I connected to the Subtle body of Baba Siri Chand, and it felt enormously powerful, not an ordinary dream. This mantra is powerful, and very helpful, it helps to cut through any stuck energies within, and begins to remove them at the core level of one's being. Several months ago I began to feel a connection with dear Baba Siri Chand, and I've been learning more about this extrodinary Soul, so having these blessed chants are a sacred and beautiful way to deeply connection to him, to Omnipresence within.
Baba Sri Chand is the protector of innocent

I. In Focus This Week
U.S. Postal Service once again in dire straits
Election administrators unfazed by possible service cuts, rate increases
In what's become an almost annual tradition, once again the U.S. Postal Service is threatening to cut services and increase postage costs as the agency faces a multi-billion dollar budget deficit.
With more and more voters choosing to cast their ballots by mail — either as absentee ballots or as actual mail ballots — state and local elections officials are taking the potential Postal Service service cuts in stride this time around.
"We are certainly are watching the situation, but don't anticipate any major impacts," said Katie Blinn, spokesperson for the Washington Secretary of State's Office.
Earlier this year the Washington Legislature approved legislation making Washington the second all-mail balloting state in the country. Although much of the Evergreen state had long been voting by mail, the legislation made it the law statewide in 2011.
In his recent testimony for a Congressional committee, Patrick R. Donahoe, the postmaster general asked called on Congress to allow the Postal Service to make a variety of changes to its employee benefits system as well as how and for what price the mail is delivered.
Among those service changes are potential rate increases and once again a call to eliminate Saturday delivery.
"Postal rates have continued to rise over recent years, but we expect new, higher rates would not affect our plans," said Freddie Oakley, clerk-recorder for Yolo County, Calif. "Voters and registrars are accustomed to accommodating this inflation."
Yolo was recently given legislative permission to conduct a pilot program conducting three local elections using mainly mail ballots in the next six years.
Oakley doesn't anticipate making any changes to the county's new pilot program should the Postal Service raise rates and/or cut Saturday service.
According to a spokesperson, the Postal Service consults with election officials to discuss how changes or proposed changes in operations affect voting by mail.
"Our Five-Day Delivery Plan specifically mentions how we addressed customer concerns, including election mail ballots," said David Partenheimer. "Also, we are committed to providing at least six month's advance notice before moving to a five-day delivery schedule and would continue to work closely with election officials to ensure a smooth transition."
Tim Scott, director of elections in Multnomah County, Ore. said there would be few administrative impacts on the elections office due to cutbacks at the USPS, however, he noted voters will feel an impact.
"For the voter, there could be some inconvenience in not being able to have their ballot picked up by their home carrier on Saturdays," Scott said. "The trend with vote-by-mail has shown that electors vote on the weekends and mail their ballots either Saturday or Monday with our largest mail returns happening on the three Tuesdays during the voting period."
Scott said voters may need to take into account the lack of home service on Saturdays and get their ballots in the mail on Fridays. Scott said the secretary of state's office, other elections officials in Oregon and the Postal Service have a long history of working well together to ensure that vote-by-mail is successful.
"Service cutbacks are a hurdle that will be felt most deeply by rural Oregon counties but we will work together to make it work for the voter," Scott said. "Extending the 18 day voting window is one concept that has been discussed but I am not sure if the legislature will take up the concept in the next session."
Officials in Washing and Oregon believe that the bigger impacts of service cuts will come from the closure of post offices and the elimination of numerous processing centers.
In Washington, Blinn said USPS' decision to close dozens of processing centers across the country has already begun to impact delivery times citing the example that Olympia used to have a processing facility, but now mail must go to Tacoma for postmarks which can add at least a day to the process.
While increased postal rates would make elections officials rework their budgets, none of the officials interviewed felt there was a time or price point that would eliminate vote-by-mail in their jurisdiction.
"I think running polls is still far more expensive than vote-by-mail," Blinn said. "And at the end of the day, the public has spoken, they want vote-by-mail."

About this recipe-- it comes from The Pioneer Woman's blog, but it's really Jaden, from Steamy Kitchen's Recipe Blog and her new cookbook. Truthfully, I wasn't thrilled with my photographs-- hence, my reluctance to post this. I was in a hurry to get dinner on the table, and I had run out of natural light. So much for excuses-- I'm going to post the recipe, anyway, because it was super fast to make and I liked it. Let's begin:
TASTING NOTES: This is a super fast weeknight meal. I think kids would actually eat their broccoli, with this meal. I would make this recipe again, but I'd invest in a little extra money and make it with flank steak. That way I could cut the meat strips a little wider and get a better "brown" on them.
Enjoying my weekend,

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Authorities continued to seek clues Monday in the puzzling case of a healthy baby boy left abandoned in the interior hallway of a St. Louis County apartment building.
The child, identified by relatives as 3-month-old Donovan Prom, was found at 5 a.m. Friday at the Hickory Trace apartment complex in Breckenridge Hills. The hallway was fully enclosed so the child was shielded from the cold morning. He was in a car seat, with a blanket over him and a bottle of milk by his side. A resident of the complex found the child as he was going to work and called police.
Relatives say Donovan is the son of Ebony Jackson and her boyfriend, Craig Prom. Jackson is a native of East St. Louis, Ill. She and Prom now live in Oklahoma City.
Paternity tests are pending and Breckenridge Hills detective Jeff Heisse said the child won't be turned over to Prom until he is confirmed as the father. For now, the boy remains in state custody.
Meanwhile, relatives fear Jackson, 30, could be the victim of foul play, though Heisse said police have not found any signs of a struggle. She left Oklahoma on Wednesday to visit relatives in the St. Louis area, but hasn't been heard from since Thursday.
Relatives spent hours Sunday searching for clues around the apartment complex, placing "Missing" posters with Jackson's photo on trees and walls. Her story was also posted on the website hopeforallmissing.org.
Heisse said police have "zero information" about the mother's whereabouts.
"It's just weird that nobody's had any contact with her," Heisse said. "We're doing everything we can to locate her."
Relatives told police that Jackson has had several surgeries on her brain and suffers from impaired memory, even jotting notes to herself so she'll remember things. The reason for the brain surgeries wasn't clear.
Heisse said neither Prom nor Jackson had any known connection to the apartment complex. He said there was no video surveillance there, and surveillance cameras at neighboring businesses were not pointed in that direction.
No residents at the apartment complex heard anything.
Authorities aren't even sure exactly when the baby was dropped off Heisse said it was between 10 p.m. Thursday and when the child was discovered seven hours later.
Jackson was last seen in a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant with Colorado license plates.

Striking Care UK workers swapped their placards for microphones and headed to the recording studio to lay down their own anthem about cuts in the NHS.
The song, composed by resident Doug Wright and his granddaughter Georgina Benson, was performed by care workers at Higher Rhythm Recording Studio.
The lyrics included: "We're fighting for the NHS we are, we are, We won't be conned by the government's lies, We'll occupy and nationalise, We're fighting for the NHS until the day we die." and there was no doubt about the depth of feeling.
Strikers certainly made their voices heard at the recording session that was filmed for YouTube.
The recording comes after striking staff returned to work on Tuesday following the latest 14-day walk out in support of a pay claim for the national living wage of £7.65 an hour.
They rate is above the current rate of just £7 an hour and would be a meaningful pay rise for all staff.
The latest action means the strikers will have taken a total of 48 days' strike action since February.
Speaking about the song, co-writer Doug Wright said: "It was quite a spontaneous thing really, I felt strongly about the cause and decided it would be a good thing to do.
"I was chuffed to hear the outcome, it sounded fantastic and all the strikers were behind it.
"It was a lot of fun and something the strikers can sing when they are travelling around the country highlighting their cause.
"My granddaughter, who co-wrote the songs works for the NHS, and I'm keen to support local campaigns so I thought this would be a good way to show support."
More than 50 Unison members headed to London last week to confront bosses of Bridgepoint which owns Care UK.
Unison regional organiser Jim Bell said:"In total members have seen their pay cut by up to 35 per cent which makes it impossible for them to meet the most basic costs of living."
Care UK's director of learning disability services Chris Hindle said: "The union has indicated verbally it is demanding a pay rise of up to 10 per cent. "This is simply unrealistic in light of the reduced funding from the council and seems totally at odds with what is happening in comparable jobs in the NHS and other public sector roles where settlements, if any, are a fraction of this."
Care workers are striking over changes they claim could see some workers lose up to 50 per cent of take-home pay.
Care UK looks after 140 people with learning disabilities in 40 properties in Doncaster and said the proposed changes would protect jobs.
