Published June 26, 2014
Jean Wactawski-Wende, vice provost for strategic initiatives and research advancement, and professor and associate chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health in the School of Public Health and Health Professions, has been named interim dean of the school.
The appointment, announced by Charles F. Zukoski, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, and Michael E. Cain, vice president for health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, is effective July 1.
Wactawski-Wende succeeds Lynn T. Kozlowski, who is stepping down as dean June 30 to resume his role as a full-time faculty member in the Department of Community Health and Health Behavior.
An international search for a new dean will begin this summer.
"We are grateful to Jean for her willingness to serve as interim dean during this transitional period," Zukoski and Cain said in announcing Wactawski-Wende's appointment. "Her strong research and leadership record will ensure that the School of Public Health and Health Professions will succeed as we are searching for a permanent dean."
A UB faculty member since 1989, Wactawski-Wende is an epidemiologist specializing in women's health issues. Her initial appointments were in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, where she was director of the Division of Women's Health Research. She joined the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine — recently renamed the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health — in 1999. She was named vice provost for strategic initiatives in 2009. Prior to coming to UB, she spent five years as a research scientist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
An active researcher for more than 25 years, Wactawski-Wende has been focusing her work on understanding the conditions affecting women's health. She is principal investigator of UB's Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Center, one of 40 centers across the country responsible for implementing the landmark, National Institutes of Health-funded study. WHI, which includes both randomized clinical trials and an observational longitudinal study, investigates the major factors influencing disease and death in older women. Results of that work have been far-reaching, impacting our understanding of long-term health in women.
Wactawski-Wende has held various leadership roles in WHI, including publications chair, and has served on the WHI executive committee and currently serves as national chair of the WHI Steering Committee. She also leads the WHI Northeast Regional Center at UB, which manages data collection and scientific coordination among nine WHI-affiliated institutions in the mid-Atlantic region and the Northeast.
In addition to the WHI, she has been principal investigator on dozens of research studies funded by the NIH and other federal agencies. Her research interests include risk factors and prevention of cancer, osteoporosis and periodontal disease in postmenopausal women. She also has conducted several studies on reproductive health issues in younger women.
Most recently, she is principal investigator on a nearly $4 million NIH grant to conduct a prospective study of the oral microbiome and periodontitis in postmenopausal women, as well as principal investigator of the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation Reproduction (EAGeR) medical trial that examined the effect of low-dose aspirin therapy for women with prior pregnancy losses.
As vice provost for strategic initiatives and research advancement, Wactawski-Wende coordinates and oversees UB's Strategic Strengths — which serve as the platform for the university's interdisciplinary and collaborative research — as well as the Office for Research Advancement, which provides support for faculty to pursue large-scale, multi-investigator, cross-disciplinary research grants of institutional priority.
Zukoski and Cain said that while Wactawski-Wende is serving as interim dean, this office will report directly to Alexander Cartwright, vice president for research and economic development.
Wactawski-Wende is the recipient of numerous awards throughout her career, including the inaugural Outstanding Researcher of the Year award in the School of Public Health and Health Professions in 2005, the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarship in 2006 and the UB Exceptional Scholar: Sustained Achievement Award in 2009. She was elected a member of the American Epidemiological Society in 2011.
A graduate of Canisius College with a degree in biology, she holds an MS in natural sciences and epidemiology, and a PhD in experimental pathology and epidemiology, both from UB's Roswell Park Division.

LEE — A mere 15 votes ended the proposed race car driving school at Lee Speedway Tuesday following a day of voting, opposing views and a lengthy debate during the town's deliberative session.
Four-hundred and fifty-six votes for the school trailed the 471 votes cast in opposition to the it. The school would have been an extension of business at Lee Speedway that owner John MacDonald had said during deliberative session would help to create revenue at the track where taxes and expenses were becoming a burden.
During the day while voters were hitting the polls at a steady pace, General Manager Robert Watson stood with a sign promoting the school while concerned resident Andy Lelio asked people to vote no.
"I think it's going good," said Watson, who had been out at the Safety Complex since 7 a.m.
Lelio said that while he thought the driving school was a good idea and has even participated in a couple himself, he felt the proposal presented in Article 3 was deeply flawed.
He said additional race events and the resulting increased noise levels from the track was something residents had worked hard to avoid, though the speedway was established in 1968 long before many current voters took up residence in the town.
Article 3 petitioned voters to amend the ordinance so as to allow for the school without considering the driving school sessions an "event." Currently, Lee Speedway is allowed 23 events between April and October. The driving school would allow 28 sessions no more than four times per month between those same months and allow no more than four NASCAR-like stock vehicles on the track between the hours of 12 p.m. and 6 p.m.
During deliberative session, the racing school article prompted the most discussion from voters concerned over the noise level such a facility would create.
Lelio said at the polls the school would allow noise from the track to be as loud as a regular race event, despite assurances from those involved with the speedway that it would not.
"I have absolutely every right to believe they could be [as loud]," he said.
Watson pointed out that the noise level would be lower not only due to fewer cars on the track than at a regular racing event, but also because instructors and drivers would need to communicate via radio while motors were on.
Scheduling the school events in advance was also a concern, though Watson said of the 28 that would have been allowed, he felt it far-fetched that even half a dozen or so would have been scheduled. Still, he said, that outcome would have been great.
He noted the cars used at the school would have been vehicles that a paraplegic could have used and there were about half a dozen veterans who were interested in driving.
Both Watson and Lelio maintained a civil, somewhat comical, and no doubt friendly debate outside the Safety Complex as voters continued to enter the polls.
Inside, moderator Jan Neill said things were going smoothly throughout the day. A slow but steady stream of residents made their way into the polling area to collect their ballots and cast their votes.
Around noon, nearly every partition was occupied by someone filling out a ballot.
Neill said at least one resident had stated simply that getting out to the polls and voting was her duty as a resident.
"It's really, really terrific," Neill said of the day.
Resident Sally Barney said Article 3 was a priority for her in voting on Tuesday and was supporting the "quiet in Lee" school of thought due to the location of her home. She said any addition of noise to the speedway would have caused a great disturbance to her quality of life there.
"I was eager to come and vote and express my opinion," she said.
In the three-way race for an open selectmen's seat, Carole Dennis came away the leader with 505 votes by Tuesday evening, ahead of Scott Bugbee with 267, and former Oyster River Cooperative School Board Chairman Henry Brackett with 110.
This was the first year in many that there were multiple candidates vying for an open selectmen's seat.
Residents also voted 510 to 385 in favor of the Police Department getting a new police cruiser. Article 7 asked voters to raise and appropriate, is $27,964 for the car with the price including the changeover of radios and safety equipment.
A natural grass playing field will also be established at Little River Park for the $80,000 by a vote of 528 to 364. The park is intended for general recreation.

More than 100 volunteers and their guests attended a recent Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteer appreciation party during which awards were presented.
"Volunteers are the backbone of our organization," said Nancy Daniels, executive director of the organization. "We could not provide these valuable services and make a positive impact on the lives of nearly 600 children each year if it were not for our caring volunteers."
During the event, Sheldon Warmington was named Big Brother of the Year for the Community Based program.
His little brother nominated him, saying, "He is the best Big I could ever imagine."
Sheldon and his little have been matched for nearly three years.
Greg Allen received Big Brother of the Year for the Site-Based program.
Crystal Scott, who has been matched with her little since 2004, was named Community Based Big Sister of the Year.
Peggy Hansen-Nagy received Big Sister of the year for the Site-Based program and has been with her little since 2009.
Big Sister of the Year nominees included Katherine Kotsch, Evy Struttman and Rhiannon Haskin.
Big Brother of the Year nominees were Gerald Franklin, James Stemmons, Cody Purney, Greg Lee and Mike Stock.
Children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program were given the opportunity to nominate their Big by writing a letter about why their Big should be selected.
Studies show that children mentored through Big Brothers Big Sister are less likely to use illegal drugs, drink alcohol or react with violence. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a game-changer, and it takes as little as 30 minutes a week to make a positive difference in the life of a child, organizers say.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Region 7 to Hold News Conference June 4 in Omaha, Neb., to Discuss New Milestone for Omaha Lead Superfund Site
Release Date: 06/03/2013
Contact Information: Chris Whitley, 913-551-7394 (office), 816-518-2794 (cell), email@example.com
Environmental News
(Lenexa, Kan., June 3, 2013) - National and regional EPA officials and local government officials will hold a news conference on Tuesday, June 4, in Omaha, Neb., to discuss a significant milestone in the Agency's continuing efforts to clean up toxic lead from residential yards and properties in the city.
The news conference will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4, in the Jesse Lowe Conference Room on the Third Floor of the Omaha-Douglas Civic Center, 1819 Farnam Street.
Since 1999, EPA and its contractors have been working cooperatively with local officials, agencies, institutions, community organizations, residents and property owners to sample and remediate lead-contaminated soils from Omaha's residential yards, schools, day care facilities, parks and playgrounds. Addressed under EPA's Superfund program, the Omaha Lead Site, consisting of approximately 27 square miles of eastern Omaha, has been on the National Priorities List since 2003.
WHO: Mathy Stanislaus, Assistant Administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER); EPA Region 7 Administrator Karl Brooks; Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle
WHAT: News conference to discuss milestone in Omaha Lead Site cleanup
WHEN: 1 p.m. Central Time, Tuesday, June 4, 2013
WHERE: Jesse Lowe Conference Room, Third Floor of Omaha-Douglas Civic Center, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Neb. 68183
In 1998, the Omaha City Council solicited assistance from EPA in addressing problems with lead contamination in area soils, prompted by cleanup activities at the former ASARCO lead processing facility along the west bank of the Missouri River in Omaha.
From the early 1870s until it closed in 1997, the ASARCO plant emitted lead and other heavy metals into the atmosphere from smoke stacks and fugitive emissions. Those pollutants were carried by wind and deposited on the ground across eastern Omaha for more than a century. Over time, soils around many residences have also been contaminated with lead from the flaking and deterioration of lead-based exterior paints.
Lead in surface soils poses a serious health risk to children six years of age and younger, and to pregnant women. Lead poisoning can result in learning and behavioral problems, hearing problems, diminished IQ, and kidney damage. EPA also classifies lead as a possible cancer-causing agent.

Whether crusading for the environment in China, combating human trafficking in Thailand, representing asylum seekers before the UNHCR in Hong Kong, or prosecuting genocidaires in Tanzania, the nine fellows profiled in this piece had the opportunity to perform what many would consider the legal work of a lifetime.… An Era of Transformation: Strategic Leadership Fosters Exceptional Growth Over the course of former Dean Joan G. Wexler's 16-year deanship, the Law School achieved new heights in every key area of its development. This feature shines a light on Wexler's leadership and vision and celebrates her significant accomplishments, including recruiting top students, attracting quality faculty, and developing a strong and thriving endowment.… Lasting Legislation: Banishing the Temporary Tax Code This insightful piece by Professor Rebecca Kysar explores the rampant use of sunset provisions in tax legislation which have effectively removed the certainty from the tax code and transformed it into a temporary body of statutes with devastating effects. For nearly all tax law, she proposes a policy presumption against temporary legislation and argues in favor of legislation that does not expire by its own terms, which she calls "lasting legislation."… Back to top Back Issues Archive 2018-2019 2017-2018 2016-2017 2015-2016 2014-2015 2013-2014 2012-2013 2012-2011 2011-2010 2010-2009 2009-2008 2008-2007 2007-2006 Spring 2011 Fall 2010

Months ago, the New England Patriots were poised for supremacy in the National Football League. But a promising season that ended with a thumping defeat in the AFC championship game has been followed by one distraction after another.
First, popular and prolific wide receiver Wes Welker followed dollar signs to Denver, and overachieving fan favorite Danny Woodhead left for San Diego. Then, tight end Rob Gronkowski had a series of surgeries, putting his 2013 season in jeopardy, and the team stunned its fans by signing New York Jets castoff Tim Tebow, perhaps the league's most polarizing player.
Now comes the news that another tight end, rising star Aaron Hernandez, could have been involved in the death of an associate.
Is the veneer of the Patriots' 12 years of excellence wearing off? Is the team becoming loathsome? More than two months before opening day, fans may be excused if they're a little pessimistic about their team's upcoming season.
"To be honest, I think the Patriots have gotten away from what made them very successful – bringing in good quality character guys and veterans that seemed to mesh together," said Dave Eid, sports director at WGME-TV in Portland. "The window is closing on the dynasty. The foundation is still there, but it has cracks."
John Wolfgram, the football coach at Cheverus High School and a Patriots fans since 1960, said each of the Patriots' issues this year has been unique.
"It seems like, with today's athletes, they have more off-the-field problems, for whatever reason," he said.
New England football fans have been spoiled by a team that wins 11 or more of its 16 regular season games every year. In 2001, the year Tom Brady became the starting quarterback, the team was extremely likeable and, in some ways, became America's team, Eid said.
They won the Super Bowl that season, then won it again in 2004 and 2005. In the 2007 season, they went 18-0 before losing, in heartbreaking fashion, to the New York Giants in football's championship game.
Since then, the team has become Enemy No. 1 in the NFL and has failed to win another championship. More than that, fans say, the culture of the team has changed, and not for the better.
Since losing the AFC championship game in January, the Patriots have endured their most tumultuous off-season.
Jim Hartman, football coach at Portland High School and a Patriots fan, acknowledged that the distractions are starting to pile up.
"The Hernandez thing is huge," he said. "How unfortunate that is for a 23-year-old kid."
But, Hartman said, if any clubhouse can dampen distractions and focus on football, it's a clubhouse led by Bill Belichick, the Patriots' enigmatic coach.
"These things are going to give their enemies more fuel, that's for sure," Hartman said. "But Belichick, the way he approaches business, he keeps the nonsense to a minimum."
Case in point? When news broke that the team had signed Tebow, the national media descended on Gillette Stadium. After a long news conference that featured the coach, in Belichickian fashion, refusing to answer questions about the media circus that has followed Tebow since he entered the NFL, the circus all but left town.
Jim Walsh, athletic director in Wiscasset, coach of the Maine Sabres semi-pro football team and a Patriots season ticket holder, agreed that the off-season has been unusual. He joked Friday that he's trying to put on some weight, in case the team needs another tight end.
Walsh is still optimistic, though.
"When I look at their off-season, I like some of the guys they brought in," he said. "They will lose some games, but in their division they are still the best team."
Chris Sedenka, host of the PM Jab, a sports talk radio show on WJJB in Portland, said the Patriots will be a playoff team as long as Brady is its quarterback. The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, and Brady is among the best, even though he will be 36 by the time the 2013 season begins.
"I think the atmosphere has changed. People are weary of how this has played out with Hernandez, and (the Patriots) have brought in some other guys of questionable character," Sedenka said. "But if you're winning, that can cure all."
The Boston Red Sox remade their team this year after suffering through their worst season since 1965 last year. This year's team is considered much more likeable, and it's winning. The Sox have been in first place for most of the season.
The Patriots "don't need a makeover," Walsh said. "They have worked hard to fill in roster spots. But their fortune is tied more to one person (Brady) than most teams."
The team will report to mini-camp in late July. Tebow likely will make as many headlines as Brady. Gronkowski, when he's not in a bar, will be on the sidelines nursing his five surgeries. Belichick will be surly and tight-lipped with the media. Who knows where Hernandez will be?
And who knows what else might happen before opening day?

After seeing the Gershwin musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It, on
Broadway last fall, Tim was inspired to explore the lives and music of the
Gershwin brothers, George and Ira. Holt will perform and play songs from the
musical, including "'S Wonderful" and "Do Do Do," as well as selections from
Porgy and Bess, and other works by the Gershwin team. He'll discuss
their contribution to American popular music and give a behind-the-scenes look
at how they weaved music and words seamlessly together. Tim will also discuss
the work of other great composers from that era: Harold Arlen ("Somewhere Over
The Rainbow"), Irving Berlin ("Cheek To Cheek") and Jerome Kern ("'Ol Man
River"). As in his other programs, Tim will encourage audience members to
celebrate our musical heritage by singing right along with him.

Thank you, Mr. (Former) President
Sarah Palin came to town Monday to a smallish crowd of Palinites, who came to hear what she had to say about the killing of Osama bin Laden. She did thank the president, but she just couldn't quite bring herself to say his actual name. But she did, of course, thank President Bush by name. He isn't exactly the president anymore, of course, but he does get to keep the title. Sort of like when they call Mike Tyson "champ."
Here's the clip from Palin's speech:

I'm your average frustrated professional except that I believe my workplace and the organization I work for can be better. Not only for myself, but for everyone including my peers, management, and the organization as a whole. I'm an optimist, a problem identifier, and a solutions creator.
Initial target audience are twenty- and thirty-something professionals in large sprawled out organizations with several levels in their org's organizational structure. Their org suffers from communication barriers, red-tape, slow to change, incompetency, and lack of transparency and accountability. These professionals might be in healthcare, IT, finance, marketing, government, etc... Eary adopters of my concept will be "activist" minded users that won't accept the status quo.
I envision a comic strip like illustration in which there are a sequence of events that demonstrate a successful use case on OrgStorm.com. Be creative throughout. 900px wide.
F1: An average professional working in a cubicle is frustrated by something. Don't turn "something" into a specific, it can be almost anything the viewer can imagine.
(r1) Add thought cloud to worker "there has to be an easier way"
F2: The same worker thinks of an idea to solve his problem. A "light bulb" is shown above his head and he appears excited.
F3: The same worker remembers that due to the organization's beaurocratic culture innovation and new ideas aren't exactly encouraged. Management seems to like the status quo. Can be creative here.
(r1) Worker seems discouraged. Show thought cloud where the worker can envision his boss rejecting his idea out right.
F4: The same worker submits his idea into OrgStorm.com. He appears to be unsure taking this path will work.
F5: The next frame would be filled with a cloud that has randomly placed items extruding from the cloud. The items can be "thumbs up", the words "pros", "cons", "comments", "light bulbs", exclamation points, etc. The purpose of this frame is to reflect peer collaboration on the idea submitted to the site in a storm-like manner. You are welcome to be extra creative on this frame. (r1) the cloud should look like an actual cloud. it represents the OrgStorm system.
F6: Show the worker's boss looking at her monitor giving a "thumbs up" and saying (r1) "We should do this!".
F7: A month later, worker is happy in his cube. (r1) His job is less tedious.
F8: (r1) show the boss holding a report. thought cloud.."costs down, profits up!". the boss should look directly at the viewer with a pleasantly surprised expression.

10 Sandwiches for a Summer Picnic Lunch
Are you grilling out tomorrow, July 4th? Or maybe you're doing a more casual picnic — just you, a friend, a basket with some sandwiches, and bottle of Prosecco. If that's the case, let us offer a few ideas for sandwiches, from the sublime yet simple tomato-mozzarella sandwich, to a bánh mì stuffed with lemongrass tofu, to the classic farmer's lunch of apples, mustard, and cheese. Oh, and we throw in that famous Smörgåstårta (aka Sandwich Cake), just for fun!
• 1 Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich - A favorite from summers in Italy.
• 2 Bánh Mì with Lemongrass Tofu - The classic Vietnamese sandwich.
• 3 Boiled Egg, Seared Asparagus and Pickled Onion Sandwiches - Fresh and colorful.
• 4 Farmer's Lunch Sandwich - Best with sharp cheddar and Granny Smith apple.
• 5 Thin-Sliced Roasted Pork Sandwiches with Southwestern Spices - A heftier sandwich.
• 6 Cheese and Onion Sandwich - A British-style sandwich with mayo.
• 7 Eggplant Caponata Sandwiches - This sandwich filling can also be served as a dip.
• 8 Dill and Yogurt Chicken Salad - I'm biased, but I think this is the best chicken salad!
• 9 Smoky Salmon BLTs - Substitute smoked salmon if you don't want to grill.
• 10 Avocado and Bacon Club Sandwich Cake - The famous sandwich cake!
What's your favorite sandwich for a picnic lunch? Me, I'm still partial to natural peanut butter and honey on whole wheat bread. I love how the honey crystallizes in the warmth of the sunshine!

The pre-Christmas shopping season is likely to boost cellphone sales less that usual this year as a weaker global economy forces consumers to cut back, research firm Gartner said on Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
"It will be a cautious quarter. Consumers are either cautious with their spending or finding new gadgets like tablets, as more attractive presents," Gartner analysts said.
Gartner said sales of cellphones declined 3 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, falling for the third quarter in a row, while sales of smartphones grew 47 percent.
Smartphone growth this year is boosted by strong demand in China, where annual sales will grow to 165-170 million from 78 million a year earlier, it said.
"There is huge growth coming from the Chinese market," said Gartner analyst Anshul Gupta.
This is helping local players to climb in global cellphone rankings, with ZTE, Huawei and TCL now among the seven largest cellphone vendors globally, Gartner said.
Samsung Electronics continues to lead the global cellphone sales ranking, ahead of Nokia and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). In smartphone sales Nokia, which still lead the market early last year, dropped to No 7, Gartner said.

Few adults would be hard pressed to remember a time when they didn�t bend the rules a little during their childhood. The decision to stay out past curfew, skip school, or get into an argument with your parents meant the loss of your allowance, being grounded for the weekend, or a parent-teacher conference. But for kids today, the punishment for these behaviors can land you before a judge, facing time in a juvenile detention facility and in the pipeline of the U.S. criminal justice system.
The incarceration of youth for status offenses � behaviors that would not be considered criminal if committed by adults � is one of the major shortcomings of a juvenile justice system that has relied on one-size-fits-all solutions. Today, an estimated 10,000 kids every year in the U.S. are placed in confinement for non-violent status offenses that pose no threat to public safety.
There�s no denying that kids make mistakes but those mistakes should not irrevocably alter their future with a punishment that does not fit the crime. More states are adopting reforms that reduce their reliance on incarceration as the go-to response to addressing these behaviors in kids but greater reform is still needed.
We need policy reform that: limits incarceration of status offenders; decriminalizes status offenses; turns to families, education, mental health and child welfare systems as a first line of defense to adjusting behaviors; and, invests in alternatives that support proven approaches to dealing with delinquent youths.
The need to reduce our nation�s reliance on incarceration of juvenile offenders is not a recent phenomenon. The nationwide effort to decriminalize status offenses accelerated 40 years ago with the passage of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act, which required states to reduce the number of incarcerated status offenders by 75 percent or risk the loss of federal funding.
The good news is that we�re on the right track. The number of youth incarcerated for status offenses has decreased by more than 50 percent from 2001 to 2011, according to a new report by the Texas Public Policy Foundation. But while the JJDP Act has been instrumental in reforming the juvenile justice system, an amendment to the law has allowed judges to once again criminalize status offenses under the valid court order exception, which gives judicial authority to confine youth in secure detention for violation of a court order.
Incarceration is the last place where many of these kids should be and ignores community-based solutions that are more cost effective and better equipped to address the underlying causes for status offenses. Many status offenders lack support networks, experienced traumatic childhoods or broken homes, or have mental health or special education needs. The decision to incarcerate youth for these non-violent behaviors only increases the likelihood they will be rearrested, exposes kids to violence, and makes it more difficult for youth to finish school, get a job, or join the military.
Current juvenile justice policy risks turning today�s status offenders into tomorrow�s serious offenders. The fate of countless kids, families and communities relies on much-needed cost-effective and proven solutions that hold youth responsible for their behavior without throwing away their futures.

Siem Reap
Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Cambodia : North-western Cambodia : Siem Reap
The town of Siem Reap [88], in northern Cambodia, is the primary access point for the Angkor Archaeological Park.
The name Siem Reap literally means "Siam Defeated". These days, however, the only rampaging hordes are the tourists heading to the Angkor Archaeological Park. This once quaint village has become the largest boomtown and construction site in Cambodia. It is quite laid-back and a pleasant place to stay while touring the temples. It is a nice compromise between observing Cambodian life and enjoying the amenities of modern services and entertainment, thanks to a large expatriate community. Since Siem Reap is a major tourist destination, prices in some instances are higher than elsewhere in Cambodia. Expect to receive almost constant offers for motodop and tuk-tuk rides, along with everything else which drivers may be able to offer to you.
Be sure to pick up your free Siem Reap Angkor Visitors Guide and the equally free and useful Siem Reap Pocket Guide from your hotel/guesthouse. It contains lots of info on Siem Reap and the Angkor Archaeological Park, including hotel/bar/restaurant/shop info, travel info, and maps. For the eco-sensitive tourist, check out "Stay Another Day: Cambodia," a detailed guide with local spots that support the environment and community. Another address is the ConCERT [89] tourist office, a local NGO committed to raising the standards of responsible tourism and ecotourism activities and providing information on the causes and effects of poverty in Cambodia, volunteering opportunities and ecotours.
APSARA (the acronym is based on the French for the "Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap" and also the Sanskrit for a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology) has a very informative website detailing the history and architecture (in 6 languages) and endorsed by the recently deceased King of Cambodia: [90]
Get in
By plane
Siem Reap International Airport [91] (IATA: REP, ICAO: VDSR) is the second largest airport in Cambodia. Its modern architecture is based on the traditional Khmer style. Its facilities are limited. There are separate terminals for international and domestic flights.
The airport is served by:
The airport is around 7 km from the town centre. Prepaid taxis cost US$7, see the prepaid booth just outside the terminal. Prepaid tuktuk rides for slightly less are also available. Thrill seeking solo travellers without much baggage can save a few dollars by opting for back of a motodop for US$2. Most hotels offer a free airport pick-up if you've booked in advance.
By bus
Major companies include Phnom Penh Sorya Transport [93] Capitol Tours, and GST Express.
Try to book at least the day before travel. Travel agents and guest houses will do this for a US$1-2 fee. Buses tend to leave in the morning or early afternoon. There are also night buses on some routes.
Many buses terminate at an out of town bus station to the east of Siem Reap, from where tuk-tuks are needed to get into the town. This should cost no more than US$2, or maybe US$3 if you're not keen to drive a hard bargain. Anything more will have your driver thinking you are a weak-willed idiot, rather than the generous, naive optimist you perhaps consider yourself to be.
If arriving from the west, consider getting off the bus as it passes through town on National Highway 6, say as it crosses the bridge over the river, before it reaches the bus station. If arriving from the east you have little choice but to face the touts.
Capitol Tours buses, however, terminate at the company's office in the centre of town, near the old market, making them the most sensible choice.
Domestic services
International services
Be wary of the sleeper bus from Siem Reap to Vientiane. A second payment may be sought for travel onward after stopping for the border crossing. Unscheduled trip delays and an unexpected change to a different service may occur on-route. Be alert to issues of personal security and watchful concerning your possessions and luggage, especially whilst sleeping.
If travelling independently to the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border, see those towns' articles for advice on how to reach the border, survive immigration and avoid the "Government" bus scam.
By boat
A more expensive and more time consuming option from Phnom Penh ($35, 6 hr) or Battambang (US$20-25, 5 hr) is to take a Soviet style Hydrofoil across the Tonle Sap lake. These can be fantastic trips giving you the opportunity to view life on the lake, floating houses, working fishermen, and to get a sun-tan if you choose to sit on the roof of the boat. However, the trip can be ruined due to bad weather. Remember to use sunscreen and take a waterproof jacket. You will not be always able to access your luggage during the journey (sometimes the baggage is available, sometimes it is not). If you have the time, it is better to visit the floating villages as day trips from Siem Reap than to see them from the boat.
The quickest method of getting from the Poipet border to Siem Reap is a shared car. A four seater car costs US$25-45, depending on your bargaining prowess, and takes 2-3 hr. Even if you're travelling solo, it shouldn't be too hard to find others to share the expense.
By helicopter
Helicopters can be chartered to go nearly anywhere in the country. They seat 5-6 people. Prices start at US$1,000 for trips to some of the temples north of Angkor Wat. Companies include Helicopters Cambodia and Helistar Cambodia.
Get around
Travel to and around the Angkor Archaeological Park is extensively covered in its own article. The following is a discussion of travel with Siem Reap.
On foot
The city centre is fairly compact and flat.
By bicycle
Many guest houses will lend you bicycles either for free or cheaply (US$1-3).
By motorbike
Motodops (motorbike taxi) abound and will make sure you know where they are. Rides within town should only cost US$0.50 or 2,000 riel, although prices can double at night or during bad weather. Agree a price first. Full day can be arranged for ~US$10. Helmets for passengers are rare though may materialize if requested in advance.
Renting a motorbike is prohibited for foreign visitors to Siem Reap, though motorbikes rented elsewhere are permitted.
Petrol stations vary from first world forecourts to roadside stalls selling fuel of dubious quality in old drinks bottles.
By tuk-tuk
Tuk-tuks, like motodops, will call to tourists from nearly any street corner.
A trip within Siem Reap should cost US$1 regardless of how many people pile on. Most tuk-tuks can convey four people comfortably though the extra weight can make the low-powered bikes laboriously slow. Prices can double at night or during bad weather.
Ensure both you and the driver are in crystal clear agreement on the destination and total fare before departure. Payment is made on arrival and doesn't increase if the driver got lost or had to take a circuitous route.
By car
Cars with drivers can be hired for single or multiple days. While all drivers are familiar with the area and happy to suggest good routes, most speak little English and are not actual tour guides. Licensed tour guides charge US$45-US$50 per day for a driver and English speaking guide. Drivers will likely ask for US$5-US$10 extra for trips to further temples such as the those of the Big Circuit, Banteay Srey and more for remote sites like Beng Mealea.
The taxis (US$7 fixed cost) from the airport to Siem Reap proper may provide a full day of touring for US$25-30.
Most people come to visit Angkor Archaeological Park, which is thoroughly covered in its own article. The town itself has some worthwhile attractions and a number of beautiful modern Buddhist temples.
Cooking classes
Cultural performances
The Khmers believe that Thai massage is derived from Khmer massage but is more relaxing as it requires less twisting and turning. The numerous Khmer style massage shops are mostly (and this means "mostly" as oil massages may lead their hands to wander...) genuine massage and not a front for sexual services. If you feel unsure what type they will give you, a safe bet is to opt for one of the blind massage services. The trained masseurs are the real deal. Some are inside the night market. But as of April 2012, contrary to common beliefs, blind massage services DO OFFER special massages too.
Orphanage visits
Some travellers feel visiting an orphanage is a good way to make a positive contribution to Cambodia, while others feel that orphanage tours do more harm than good. The largest child protection group in the country has asked that tourists not visit orphanages--the great majority of Cambodian children in orphanages have living parents, but the tourist demand for orphans results in these children being separated from their parents.[94] Whichever view you hold, orphanages and the aid organisations that support them are a significant feature of the Siem Reap economy. Many are scams, so it's worth doing a bit of research on them beforehand.
Some long running orphanages that have a good reputation are;
As elsewhere in Cambodia, US Dollars, and to a lesser extent, Thai Baht are preferred over Cambodian Riel except for the very smallest purchase. Using Riel for small purchases can be better than using dollars as retailers tend to round up US$ prices.
The Heritage Watch [95] non-profit organisation supports business that promote Cambodia's arts, culture, heritage and development. Certified businesses display either a gold or silver Heritage Friendly logo.
International ATMs in Siem Reap are plentiful and most banks will do cash advances from credit cards.
Art and craft
Eating options span the full spectrum of tastes and budgets from the rudimentary Asian staples and pizza to authentic Khmer and sophisticated fine-dining featuring exotic local ingredients. The highest assortment of restaurants are in few blocks north of the Old market but there are numerous appetizing alternatives along Wat Bo Road and hiden among the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Old market area
Though Pub St is better known for its bars a handful of places are known for great food, many with seating upstairs so you can escape above the partying milieu on the street below. Crammed along The Alley is a wider selection of restaurants that offer a generally quieter and more intimate experience. The local restaurants lining Phsar Chas have extensive yet near identical menus of cheap fried rice and westernised approximations of Khmer dishes. At dusk the Kindergarten on the corner of Street 8 and 11 erupts into a a rabble of small BBQ stalls, billowing smoke, noise and the persistently entreating peddlers. The phnom pleurng here is the cheapest you will find.
Wat Bo Road and surrounding areas
Outside of the main part of town in the sometimes dusty neighbourhood streets and area along Wat Bo Rd are some trendy restaurants and small local places serving the most authentic Khmer food.
The distinction between eating and drinking establishments is fairly blurry as even the most humble of restaurants can have an extensive cocktail list on their menu. Nonetheless, a vibrant drinking scene concentrated along Street 8, aptly dubbed Pub St, is where serious drinkers head for cheap beer, loud music and the sweaty backpacking hubbub scene akin to Bangkok's Khao San Road. The biggest and most well known Pub St bars, Angkor What?, The Red Piano, Temple club and Le Tigre de Papier, are easy to find.
Visitors looking for more subdued place to appreciate a quiet drink can seek out some of the smaller places along The Alley, The Lane and the adjoining streets.
Most places have draft Angkor beer for US$0.50 and cans of other brews for US$1-2. Cocktails and spirits go for as little as US$2. Imported red and white wine, generally from the less prestigious wine producing countries, is widely available and cheaper than you would expect. Better quality Australian and French wines are available in more upmarket establishments at a correspondingly premium price.
A few drinking holes offer a bit more than cheap drunkenness.

The Lane
Around town
A seemingly inexhaustible range of sleeping options from upmarket hotels to grubby backpacker hostels, with a myriad of guest houses, boutique rooms, bungalows, concrete cells, wood huts and French villas in between, make finding a place to sleep one of the easiest things you will do on your trip.
Hotels are spread over the entire city but most larger hotels line the National Highway to the Airport, cheap backpacker hostels tend to surround the old market area and stylish boutique hotels are nestled in the trees along Wat Bo Road. Small Khmer run hotels and guest houses, especially in the low season, can be surprisingly good value if you are willing to do a bit of hunting for one that hasn't been overrun by the guidebook toting hoards.
Accommodations at every price point generally offer hot water showers, cable TV, internet and airport or bus pickup. Some may include free breakfast, though don't expect much more than an egg on toast and a coffee.

Stay safe
Siem Reap has long since been thoroughly de-mined.
Most local are decent people just trying to make an honest living but a few shady characters try every trick to take advantage of visitors. Be alert to deception, but don't let suspicion ruin your visit.
Convenience stores have been known to give incorrect change and pocket the rest. Check your change before you walk out of the store and point out any short changing. Most likely they will admit to their "mistake" and give you the right change.
Street vendors and beggars in competition for generous visitors' handouts have developed cunning, if underhanded, techniques to get your attention and money. The "beggar army" of young children will come up to you in the crowd and grab your hands, leading you to a store where they will then try and have you buy food/baby milk/water for them: baby milk seems the most popular. It might sound like a more humanitarian way to help than simply giving them money, but once you leave the shop the goods you bought for them are sold back to the owners, or to other locals and the cash goes to an adult. Young women with babies cradled in a krama perform a similar trick.
Donation-collectors for orphanages may approach you in the street claiming to be volunteer workers, showing you convincing photos of themselves in the orphanage and a clip board listing the generous donations made by foreign visitors. Though these young adults may be well groomed and speak excellent English it's possible that your donation will go directly into their pockets. A donation of money or your time to a recognised charity might be a better way to help.
Baby-milk scams may be encountered in the centre of town, outside supermarkets. A very poor looking woman will beg for some milk powder, pointing to her baby. If one cracks and buys the milk, she later returns it to the shop, and the money is split 50:50.
Stay healthy
For general information on health, see our Cambodia#Stay_healthy article.
The numerous Internet cafés charge anywhere US$0.50-1.50/hr. Speed of connection, and speed of PC, very much depends from place to place. A free public WiFi network covers the Pub St and Alley areas but it can sometimes be spotty and always terribly slow.
Most hotels will have cable TV with many international channels such as BBC and CNN as well as those from surrounding countries. There are several FM radio stations, which includes the BBC World Service on 99.25MHz and Radio France International on 92.0MHz.
Full service laundries can be found throughout town and most hotels and guesthouse will also take care of your laundry. The going rate is $1/kg. You may occasionally be able get it cheaper if you are willing to wait longer, in which case the laundries won't have to use the dryer. 3-hour services are frequently advertised, but rarely realistic.
Sample services include:

Johns Hopkins-bound Shack Stanwick had five points (two goals, three assists) and No. 1 Boys' Latin completed a perfect regular season in boys lacrosse Tuesday with a 13-8 win over No. 5 St.Paul's.
The Lakers finish the regular season with an overall record of 18-0 and a 9-0 mark in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association AConference. The last time Boys' Latin had a perfect season was 2006; there have been only five undefeated teams in the MIAA since plastic sticks were introduced into the sport. The Lakers are the top seed in the conference tournament and await the winner of Friday's game between the Crusaders (15-4, 5-4) and No. 4 Calvert Hall in Tuesday's semifinal at Johnny Unitas Stadium.
Mount St. Joseph 9, No. 11 St. Mary's 8, 2OT: The Gaels (10-10, 2-8 MIAA A Conference) fell behind early but switched goalies and turned up the offense to win.
The Saints (6-9, 2-7) led 5-2 at halftime. Mount St. Joseph put Connor Lawson in the cage, where he made 14 saves in the second half. And Michael LeClair scored the go-ahead goal, 8-7, with 25 seconds left in regulation. St. Mary's Cole Robertson tied the score with 2.6 seconds left to force overtime.
With 1:10 left in the second overtime, LeClair scored again to eliminate St. Mary's from playoffs.
No. 4 Calvert Hall 12, No. 7 Loyola 5: Andrew Fanshaw had five points (two goals, three assists) and the visiting Cardinals (11-5, 6-3) won an MIAA A Conference game against the Dons (10-8, 3-6).
Timmy Kelly had four points (two goals, two assists) and Johnny Kelly had three goals to power Calvert Hall, which next hosts No. 5 St. Paul's (15-4, 5-4) in Friday's MIAA A Conference quarterfinal at 4 p.m.
Despite the loss, Loyola takes the sixth seed because No. 11 St. Mary's lost; the Dons will face No.3 Gilman (12-3, 7-2) on Friday at 4 p.m.
No. 10 Archbishop Spalding 5, No. 14 Severn 3: The visiting Cavaliers (12-9, 2-7) used five scorers to beat the Admirals (9-11, 1-8), who were led by David Jones with two goals.
Track and field
Howard County championships: Most of the fans had cleared out of the stadium Tuesday. Howard was announced as the girls champion 30 minutes earlier and had already taken a victory lap.
But for the Mount Hebron and Reservoir boys teams, there was nervous energy mounting as two events — discus and triple jump — were still undecided. Through 16 events at this year's championships, only a couple of points separated the two teams.
Several minutes later, though, after the final points were tallied, it was Mount Hebron — on the strength of Brendan Chavis' capturing gold in the discus — doing the celebrating. The Vikings ended up prevailing over the defending champion Gators, 116-110, on a rainy afternoon at Reservoir High School.
"I'm extremely proud of myself because I didn't think I could win in both events," said Chavis, who also won the shot put. "I'm so proud of the team, too. We were trying to win it all and we achieved that goal."
Mount Hebron coach Teyarnte Carter expected the tight finish.
"To be honest, we knew it was going to be close between three teams — Reservoir, Howard and us," Carter said. "We told them to come out here and just compete. We didn't have a beautiful day to drop times so we told them to just worry about the places. Everyone had to show up on the same day."

Baltimore County Championship: The game between No. 1 Eastern Tech (17-0) and Franklin (11-9) was canceled because of rain.
Since the first round of the state playoffs is scheduled to begin Thursday, the game will not be made up. Eastern Tech and Franklin will share the championship.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Tornado Athletics and the King Student-Athlete Advisory Committee held a fundraiser to generate aid for those people devastated by the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The event was held during King's men's basketball exhibition contest against UVA-Wise on Tuesday night. King students, faculty, and staff plus fans helped raise over $350 and brought in various supplies to be donated to the American Red Cross.
The event, co-sponsored by Tornado Athletics and the King Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), officially raised $357.70 in monetary donations and brought in emergency supplies and nonperishable food items including bottled water, canned food, pasta, and various household items. All items and donations will be handed over to the American Red Cross in Bristol, Va. to be forwarded to the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
"We thought it was successful," said the president of SAAC and King swimmer Kelsey Copeland. "We had several people tell us that they were glad we were doing it. I was blown away that we raised as much money as we did. I wasn't expecting it, but it shows that people are truly generous to others in a time of need."
Hurricane Sandy hit the United States eastern shores and the Northeast last week and displaced thousands of families from their homes, destroyed property, homes and even took lives with the severity of the storm. Estimates of the damage caused are well over $10 billion and rising as the cleanup effort continues.
Tornado Athletics and SAAC would like to thank all those that so generously gave to the cause in an effort to make a difference and help those affected by the tragedy. Special thanks also go to those that helped promote and staff the event.

Winter is coming.
I can't tell you too much about what I am knitting. It is a surprise for someone. I can tell you it is going to be soft, warm, and oh so very cozy. I can also tell you that cat hair sticks to it like crazy.
Last week, I picked up a pile of knitting books from the local library. I can devour patterns so much faster than I can actually knit them, but the pictures are pretty, and very motivational.
They taunt me. … keep knitting, don't stop, don't you want to make something pretty and colourful like these mittens? … oh, knitting dark green stockinette stitch again… still…. with 8 skeins more to go? … don't you wan to knit something small and colourful like these mittens? … keep knitting… don't stop….
I am going to finish this sweater before I cast on another project. I swear. I solemnly swear. MUST KEEP KNITTING.
This is my second post in the Ginny's Yarn Along on the small things blog. Its fun to see who else is participating, what they are reading and knitting. I see Ginny is reading one of my all time favourite stories, 'Howards End'

The purpose of this update is to inform the public that we have reached the next challenging step in the clean-up process after Winter Storm Charlotte.
After spending the last 72 hours cutting emergency access lanes through every road and subdivision in town, Town crews have transitioned to widening all routes for traffic safety. We have completed most of the main roads and are now working on secondaries and subdivisions.
In many cases, mailboxes and storm drains remain inaccessible, and it is still difficult in some places for school buses to pass by big cars and trucks. Our initial push for emergency access necessarily left as much as 5-8 feet of unplowed snow on some roadways. The widening process now requires us to push that snow off to the side.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but you should be prepared for two things as we continue:
1. Your driveway will probably get snowed in again as crews continue plowing
2. Because of the wetness of the snow, it will probably be more difficult to clear than it was the first time.
Town staff withe snow and clearing private driveways. This would take a level of manpower we do not have and add weeks to the rec
It will, therefore, remain the responsibility of individual homeowners to clear their own driveways, and please keep in mind that it may take multiple passes by town plows to widen all roads.
Reminder*** The requirement to clear sidewalks remains suspended until further notice.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
Town Manager Garry Brumback
