The Clymer school superintendent was found dead outside his home Monday morning, in what Chautauqua County sheriff's officials are calling an apparent homicide.
Sheriff's deputies found the body of Keith L. Reed Jr., 51, on his property on Clymer-Sherman Road, Sheriff Joseph A. Gerace said.
Gerace said Reed's body was found by a sheriff's K-9 dog outside his residence. The sheriff would not say where on or near Reed's property that his body was found.
The sheriff also said he couldn't discuss any leads into motives or possible persons of interest because of the ongoing nature of the investigation.
"We got a missing-persons report [Sunday] night from colleagues and friends gathered at [Reed's] house," Gerace said.
"One of our K-9 units went up this morning, and the dog found the body."
Preliminary indications suggest that Reed was shot to death. Asked whether he was shot multiple times, the sheriff said, "That is probably accurate."
Reed, who lived alone, had last been seen alive Friday evening.
Sheriff's officials gave no indication of any possible suspects in the case.
Forensic experts remained on the scene searching for evidence and clues into Reed's death. Reed's body is expected to undergo an autopsy this morning in the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office in Buffalo.
Gerace said sheriff's officials are seeking the public's help with any information into Reed's death. The Chautauqua County sheriff's number is 753-2131.
R. John Rough, who lives next door to Reed, was out of town in Pittsburgh when his neighbor was believed to have last been seen.
He was stunned to see all of the police activity outside of his home Monday morning.
"It's just beyond me. I can't imagine anyone wanting to do harm to him. He was not that kind of guy," Rough said. "He was a very personable person. Very likable."
Rough said he was told that Reed was never unavailable for extended periods of time.
After School Board officials were unable to reach Reed over the weekend, or get a return call, Rough said they went to his home. After that, the missing persons report was filed.
"He cared about his job, the teachers and the personnel at the school. He cared about the kids," said Rough, whose grandson is an eighth-grader in the Clymer district.
"He was very energetic about his work. He was conscientious. I don't think the school will find another superintendent like him."
Rough said the superintendent, who was divorced but expected to soon remarry, lived alone with his dog. He recalled they often exchanging friendly waves and conversation while outside tending to their yards.
"We're going to miss him tremendously, he was a great neighbor," Rough said.
Reed's home remained surrounded by yellow crime scene tape as the sun set into darkness Monday.
Following news of the superintendent's death, several school activities were canceled or postponed. The district posted a message on its website announcing his death.
"We became concerned that the superintendent was missing after he did not return phone calls that he typically does," the statement said.
"We express our deepest sympathies to his family and close friends. Grief counselors will be available to assist faculty, students and parents throughout the week.
"This unfortunate matter is being handled by the Sheriff's Department and any further communication will come from their office."
Reed, a graduate of St. Bonaventure University, was appointed as superintendent Nov. 28, 2011.

Marion County mother appeals murder conviction
Violet Ray convicted of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2008
MARION COUNTY, Fla. – Lawyers for a Marion County woman told an appeals court on Tuesday morning that she should not have been convicted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.
Violet Ray said her daughter, Faith, fell off a chair or table back in 2008, causing a head injury that prosecution experts said was caused by abuse.
Judges did not appear to be swayed by the appeal seeking to throw out the jury verdict.
"The ER doctor believed this was a case of child abuse and I'm not here saying that, it's not up to us to determine who to believe, it becomes a jury question," said Judge Wendy Berger of the District Court of Appeal.
But a jury convicted her and Ray was sentenced to life in prison.
Ray's attorneys argued the jury was misinformed by state experts and investigators, who were falsely told that Faith showed signs of sexual abuse. The Department of Children and Families had never previously confirmed any abuse of faith or the other five children the Rays adopted over three and a half years.
The court usually takes several weeks to rule and if Ray loses her appeal, her attorney said other challenges will follow.

Google's fourth-quarter earnings rose 17 percent even though a long-running slump in its online ad prices deepened.
The performance announced Thursday indicates that Google is still struggling to close the gap between the rates for ads shown on mobile devices and those on personal computers.
Advertisers haven't been willing to pay nearly as much to reach prospective customers on the smaller screens of smartphones and tablets, but Google Inc. has been tweaking its digital marketing system so mobile and PC ad campaigns are bundled together.
Google's average ad price during the fourth quarter fell 11 percent from the previous year.
The company earned $3.4 billion, or $9.90 per share. That compares with $2.9 billion, or $8.62 per share, in the prior year.
Revenue rose 17 percent to $16.9 billion.

Rock Island:
Key events during the Korean War, December 1952
President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower made good on a campaign
promise and visited the commanders and troops in Korea Dec. 5-8,
1952. Admittedly a public relations event with little impact on
strategy, the visit by the World War II hero and soon-to-be
commander in chief bolstered the spirits of the American troops who
were spending their third December in the harsh winter conditions of
Korea. Eisenhower repeated his pledge to bring an end to the war,
something he would help bring about during the next year.
Meanwhile, the United Nations troops did not get a holiday
vacation from the fighting. The war was increasingly defined by
massive artillery duels. The fighting between South Korean and
Chinese forces at Big and Little Nori, near a horseshoe bend of the
Imjin River, was typical of such actions. The Chinese attack lasted
only four days and was centered on a tiny 300-yard front.
Nevertheless, United Nations forces fired 120,000 rounds of
artillery during the battle, plus 31,000 mortar rounds and 4,500
tank rounds, while 177 air sorties were flown in support. In return,
the Communists fired 18,000 artillery and mortar rounds against the
U.N. positions. For all of this, the South Koreans suffered 750
casualties, while Chinese casualties were estimated at approximately
On Christmas Day, Chinese forces launched an attack on the United
States 38th Infantry Regiment, part of the 2nd Infantry Division, in
what became known as the Battle of T-Bone Hill, named for the shape
of the terrain defended by the American units. A savage, two-day
battle ensued and the U.S. forces sustained heavy casualties, but
they were able to repel the attacking Chinese.

What do you think of the star's sassy outfit?
Mark your calendars, royal-watchers: This may be the first time a royals-adjacent person has been spotted in jean shorts. (In public, anyway — we don't know what Prince Charles wears in his free time.) And they've been seen on the most famous butt of the past five years, owned by Pippa Middleton, sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, making this a very high-profile (and very delightful) denim debut.
RELATED PHOTOS: Obsessed or hot mess? Vote now on these controversial star styles!
Middleton, 30, was spotted out in London with boyfriend Nico Jackson wearing a pair of jean cutoffs, a white polo and white tennies while running errands (and we mean literally running — the girl is fit). While we were surprised to see her without her normal full face of makeup (she and her sister love eyeliner and blush for public outings), we were even more surprised to see someone with royal connections sporting a pair of jorts. Don't get us wrong, they were well-fitting, classy, fashion-y jorts, but jorts that would be appropriate for a BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks nonetheless.
Obviously Middleton isn't held to the same sartorial standards as her big sis (who is rumored to be reaching for longer hemlines by order of the Queen), but we did get a giggle imagining Pippa showing up to George's next birthday party at Buckingham Palace in a pair of ripped denim cutoffs and other festival attire. Maybe she can introduce her sister to the wonders of floral crowns next?
Are you surprised to see someone royals-adjacent in jean shorts? Do you like her style?

We need a new corporate identity that conveys the passion we have for teaching people salsa & latin dance.
Salsa Connection (or Salsa Connection Dance Studio)
Current website is at http://www.salsaconnection.com.au
If possible, the shades of blue & orange on the current website should be used. Must look good with a black background, but hopefully will be able to be adapted to work with other background colours for use on T-Shirts, embroidered products, etc.
Here are some of our youtube videos which may be useful for inspiration : http://www.youtube.com/user/SalsaConnection
- Must strongly communicate the passion we have for dancing, and for teaching dance - in particular salsa & latin styles.
- Suggested black background, with blue & orange
- True corporate identity that is able to be used in multiple formats (embroidery, shirts, posters, website, business cards, etc)
- Tagline desirable, but not essential - if so, should instill some / all of these ideals : technique, fun, excellence, individuality, style, passion, our salsa 'family' ... "Where students are encouraged to achieve their best by learning from the best"
- Must include business name in short or long form (Salsa Connection, or Salsa Connection Dance Studio)
- Stylish, clear, professional, viable for national and even international markets - modern & edgy
- Would prefer a logo with impact
- Image should be of a precise, styled move if possible
- Nothing soppy or flowery
- The typical 'lady falling into the mans arms' type of dancing image often equated with ballroom dancing
- latin dancing does not mean Jamaican or Caribbean themes

Ryan Wallace and I sat down via email and instant message and chatted. We talk about everything from his recent show (((Ω.))) (Omega Point) to his inspiration and process behind it, to the beauty of math and more. Enjoy!
Tell us about the name of your show (((Ω.))) (Omega Point) which recently closed at Guerrero Gallery.
The show's title, (((Ω.))) (Omega Point) acts as a representation in text of a term coined by French philosopher, Jesuit priest , paleontologist and geologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in his book The Phenomenon of Man. Chardin's theoretical "Omega Point" describes evolution as a process that leads to increasing complexity, culminating in the unification of consciousness. While I find these types of theories beuautiful I am wary of lofty singular ideas and predictions: the end of the world, a raison d'etre for evolution, one supernatural being, universe, politic, etc.
The works [in the show] become individual interpretations on a theme rather than depictions in support or against an overarching pedagogical idea. I'm not making arguments or statements. I am much more interested in tone and questions. I don't look to depict or render an event. I'm trying to articulate an abstraction after having come in contact with an idea.
And your inspiration behind the name for your show?
I began to see that these works have a language of their own beyond that of painting. They each encorporate pattern in a way that could be perceived of as a kind code. There is an experimental band called Sunn O))). This is prouounced "Sun". They make these droning, ambient soundscapes. I like this idea of slow building to a visceral crescendo. My paintings are visual manifestations of this type of building and layering but with mark instead of note. So between Chardin, computers and doom metal I deciced to call the show (((Ω.))) instead of Omega Point.
Are you interested in language and code outside of art?
I'm interested in elegance and beauty in all things. I can't think of anything more artful than the language of mathematics or a super collider.
Can you tell me what that means "language of mathematics or a super collider."?
Math is as artful as a painting. So is a super collider, which is a big machine that fires particles and examines explosions...like a giant scientific sculpture I guess also that I see a lot of things as art. Things other than say paintings or drawings, etc. So, while the language of math and engineering is outside of what we typically call art, I think that the elegance of them is actually just as artful as traditional art approaches.
(((Ω.))) is an impressive body of work. What I love about each painting is the intensity & depth once you step close to each piece. How long had you been working on the show?
On and off for around two years. That is not to say that it took so long to complete. I work on multiple bodies and types of work simultaneously. They feed off of one and other conceptually and keep my practice fresh. I work on what feels appropriate at the time. I started the (((Ω.))) paintings in the summer of 2009. I developed them to a certain point then I photographed them and put them away for a year or so.
Then, I bitmapped and tweaked the pictures in Photoshop and made lithography plates from those images. These plates became the basis for the works in the large square grid in the show. As I began those works on paper, I switched from newsprint to a finer, whiter drawing paper and Mylar to catch the run off from the plates in the printmaking process. Those pieces of paper and Mylar make up the cut pieces in Mist (Timeline) 3 the horizontal piece that you see at the entrance. Then I looked at everything and went back to finish the paintings that I had first started. From there I felt that the gestures in the work could be played with in a different way and maintain a similar tone and the Tablet paintings are the result of that exploration.
You live and work in Brooklyn and you have a wife and a toddler. How do you find the time to balance family, art and New York?
We communicate well. I love working in my studio and I love spending time with my family so I'm selfishly motivated to do both. My wife and I both have flexible schedules and the nature of our work is that there are more demanding times and deadlines at some times than at others. I think that this would be the case regardless of where we lived. Our son would just attend less openings.
When we spoke at the gallery the night of your show, you had mentioned that you had really hit your stride with this latest show. Are you still feeling it? What are some of your practices when you are feeling 'stuck'. Would you mind sharing them with us?
Oh, I didn't mean with this body of work so specifically. I'm always looking to see where things go. Currently things just seem to make sense in the studio. I make what feels like the next logical move. Hopefully these moves are surprising. There is always something that needs to be done, so if I don't feel like actually working there is usually some busywork. If there is nothing that needs cleaning or stretching or priming or cutting then I don't stay in the studio. Printmaking is a wonderful way to find new directions quickly. Even video artists can benefit from making prints. It's great for any studio practice.
I'm very happy with the show. Andres' did a wonderful job with the space. It feels like the appropriate venue for this body of work. I came to visit in September to see the gallery in person. Though all of the ideas we talked about with your first question inform me in my approach, this is really a show about painting and about light as a phenomenon and metaphor. After I saw the space in person I knew that this was the direction that I wanted to take in finishing the show. I saw it as a place where I could create an atmosphere allowing the audience to feel taken care of in a way that they could approach the work on their own terms.
If you could give your 18 year old self one piece of advice about surviving in the art world, what would it be?
N'allez pas trop vite [Don't go too fast].
Who are your greatest inspirations (living & dead, artist/non-artist)?
Right now, next to my computer, I'm looking at recently acquired books on the Hubble telescope, Gerhard Richter and Jung's Liber Novus. That's a good sampling outside of friends and family.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates
The UT Arlington REU Site on Hazard Mitigation brings together a total of 30 engineering bound undergraduate students (10 per year for 3 years) from several community colleges and universities with limited research opportunities. The community colleges are in the Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) metropolitan area, while the universities are in Texas and other states. The community college partners are Tarrant County College Southeast Campus, Eastfield Community College, Richland College, and Baton Rouge Community College. The universities are: UT Arlington, Texas A&M University – Kingsville, St. Mary's University, University of Southern Mississippi, Wesleyan University, MIT, Ohio State University and Grambling State University.
The common theme of the REU site is Hazard Mitigation. A total of five research projects are included for student participation. The projects are sub-sets of larger funded research projects that are ongoing or have been recently completed by faculty researchers. Each project also is a part of the ongoing UTA RET Site on Hazard Mitigation. Further, they all tie in to the Disaster Mitigation Group at UT Arlington, a multi-disciplinary effort of faculty members and public and private sectors. The Disaster Mitigation Group of researchers at UT Arlington is a multi-disciplinary group of 23 faculty members, who have generated about $7 million in hazard-related research funding and about 150 hazard-related publications. The umbrella organization brings together and fosters the activities and talents of faculty with external agencies. The proposed REU effort is headed by Drs. Nur Yazdani and Yvette Pearson Weatherton from the Civil Engineering Department, and Dr. Stephanie Daza from the Education Department at UT Arlington, and includes a total of five other faculty members, several graduate students, and the REU student researchers. The multi-disciplinary group of REU faculty members comes from civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and education.
The projects for the proposed REU site are designed to recruit undergraduate students from engineering and related sciences and introduce them to engineering research. Involvement in hands-on computer and laboratory research experiences is expected to improve recruitment of students from the above-mentioned institutions, retention of current engineering students and motivate them towards graduate studies. There are many reasons for the lack of student interest in engineering fields, including students' perceptions of coursework as overly theoretical. Our REU Site will allow them hands-on experiences in hazard mitigation research and applications.
Objectives and Outcomes
The objectives of the REU project are to (1) recruit students into, and retain students in, four-year engineering programs through graduation; (2) encourage participants to pursue graduate degrees in engineering and (3) expose participants to practical applications of engineering research. These objectives will be achieved through the planned activities whose effectiveness are determined by the success of the following associated measurable outcomes:
- Recruitment and Retention – This REU program will aid in and/or bolster recruitment and retention in engineering degree programs. While the investigators realize that tracking students from several schools presents a challenge, every effort will be made to do so. An online system is available whereby students can self-report data through information forms and surveys. The information form allows students to update contact information to facilitate further tracking. Pre- and post- surveys, as well as qualitative data, is assessing the impact of the REU program in influencing participant decisions to enter and/or remain in an engineering program through graduation.
- Pursuit of Graduate Degrees – Participants in the REU will enroll, and/or indicate their intention to enroll, in engineering graduate programs. The online system (described above) is tracking and surveying REU participants in order to report their enrollment in engineering graduate programs. Pre- and post- surveys, as well as qualitative data, is assessing the impact of the REU program in influencing participant decisions to enroll in engineering graduate programs.
- Practical Applications of Engineering Research – REU participants will demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge gained through the research experiences to "real world" problems. REU participants are given opportunities to demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge gained through the REU projects. Pre- and post- surveys, as well as qualitative data, is assessing the impact of the REU program in influencing participants' ability to apply the knowledge to problems encountered in other research environments, graduate school and/or in industry. Because many students engage in internship opportunities, this data will be collected as the students continue their undergraduate matriculation as well as after graduation.

Wells County agencies share data with new software system
Bluffton, Ind. – Nov. 12, 2009 – Law enforcement agencies in Wells County, Ind., are using newly implemented software from Spillman Technologies to share data and help identify crime trends.
The county's law enforcement agencies have common offenders, and having the ability to share information between agencies will add a new dimension to the investigation and resolution of cases," said Ossian Police Department Chief David L. Rigney.
In coordination with the Wells County Sheriff's Office, the Bluffton, Zanesville, and Ossian police departments, and the Bluffton 911 Dispatch Center are storing their data on a single server hosted by the Wells County Sheriff's Office. Data stored on the server can be accessed by authorized personnel at each of the agencies.
Quick access to data from around the region will help the Wells County Sheriff's Office conduct investigations more efficiently, said Sheriff Bob Frantz.
We were spending a lot of time trying to check out local agencies' files on information about suspects," Frantz said. I suspect that Spillman is going to save us man-hours there."
Utilizing a shared system will allow the departments to exchange information on names, criminal records, and incidents. The system also makes financial sense for the agencies, said Chief Tammy Schaffer of the Bluffton Police Department, because it spares each agency the expense of operating an individual database.
It makes sense to pool our resources and share the cost, as well as share the information that we all need to do our job better," Schaffer said.
Wells County is located in northeast Indiana and has a population of approximately 30,000. Wells County and its partnering agencies are among 74 agencies in Indiana and more than 800 agencies across the nation using Spillman software. The agencies went live with the system on Aug. 31.
Schaffer said Spillman's reputation influenced their purchasing decision. Spillman has been creating reliable public safety software for more than 25 years and serves nearly 50,000 public safety professionals in 35 states nationwide.
We purchased Spillman because we were looking at high quality records management systems. The Spillman name came up over and over," Schaffer said.
Spillman Technologies provides a full range of integrated software solutions for public safety agencies, including Records Management, Computer-Aided Dispatch, Mobile Communications, Corrections Management, Fire/EMS Management, Resource Management, and Data Sharing.

Blue Jays designate Ortiz, option Weber
TORONTO -- After Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Braves, the Blue Jays made a couple of roster moves.
Ramon Ortiz, 40, was designated for assignment and reliever Thad Weber was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.
In conjunction with third baseman Brett Lawrie being placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a left ankle sprain, the Blue Jays recalled right-hander Todd Redmond from Buffalo and selected the contracts of right-hander Neil Wagner and left-hander Juan Perez from the same club.
Ortiz, who threw three innings of relief on Tuesday, was 1-2 with a 5.01 ERA in six appearances -- including three starts -- with the Blue Jays
The right-handed Weber pitched in his third straight game Tuesday, surrendering the game-winning solo home run to Braves designated hitter Brian McCann. In three innings with Toronto, he allowed just that one earned run and struck out two.
Redmond, 28, has made two appearances this season for Buffalo, including one start, posting a 1-0 record with a 9.53 ERA. He began the season on the Minor League disabled list with right shoulder impingement. He is 72-61 record and a 3.60 ERA in 209 games over nine Minor League seasons. He was claimed on waivers from Baltimore on March 22.
Perez, 34, posted a 0.86 ERA in 17 relief appearances for Buffalo. He has appeared in 42 Major League games, going 1-2 with an ERA of 4.88 in four seasons for the Pirates, Phillies and Brewers.
Wagner, 29, has appeared in 19 games for the Bisons, recording 13 saves and 0.89 ERA while allowing just 10 hits and striking out 32 in 20 1/3 innings. He has appeared in six Major League games, all in relief for the A's. in 2011.
"We're going to need probably a couple of pitchers with [Esmil] Rogers going tomorrow in a spot start," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "We really don't know what's going to happen there."

Service Center Installs Double-Driven Eccentric Rotary Shear
Olympic Steel's Cleveland, OH facility has installed a new rotary shear from Butech Bliss, Salem, OH. The eccentric rotary shear features one knife holder providing downward displacement and a second knife holder that rotates upward across the strip. Their action is synchronized, along with reaction arms on roller guides, for cutting the strip at predetermined lengths without stopping. A pair of 400-hp motors power cutting at up to 200 ft./min. along an existing temper mill and cut-to-length (CTL) line. Other shear features include automatic knife-gap adjustment and threading tables.
Olympic Steel also announced plans to have Butech Bliss install a new CTL line at its service center in Gary, IN. The line, slated for installation in Q1 2012, will process high-strength steel 0.075 to 0.530 in. thick, and coils to 80,000 lb. by 74 in. wide.

What causes my group of friends cycles to sync up?
No one is sure why women who live together or spend a lot of time in each other's presence tend to ovulate in tandem. But it has been observed in clinical studies as well as anecdotally in the real world and is considered a valid phenomenon, explains Mary Jane Minkin, MD, clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale University School of Medicine. The prevailing theory is that chemicals emitted from our sweat glands called pheromones somehow trigger each woman's cycle to synchronize, says Dr. Minkin. The purpose of this is still a mystery. It may be that back in caveman times, having a group of females be fertile all at once helped propagate the species, since one man could impregnate them very quickly.

Male American goldfinches in breeding plumage
The Columbus Dispatch
August 18, 2013
Jim McCormac
Enter the American goldfinch. The gorgeous little "wild canaries" go against the grain by eating almost nothing but grains and other vegetable matter. Goldfinches commonly visit backyard feeders and especially covet thistle seed. In wilder places, they also seek sunflower seeds, grasses and myriad other types of plant fruits. Although goldfinches occasionally wolf down an aphid or two, for the most part they shun the bugs.
When goldfinches descend on a ripe patch of sunflowers or well-stocked feeders, it's as if a pack of debonair feathered piglets has landed. Many a collector of wild prairie seeds has been thwarted by the finches. Arrive to the flower patch too late and you'll be greeted by little flecks of gold bouncing between the seed heads, stripping them of their fruit. Not to fret, though: The finches rightfully have first dibs.
Their vegetarian preferences serve goldfinches well when it comes to parasitic brown-headed cowbirds. Female cowbirds dump their eggs in other bird species' nests, usually to the detriment of the host. The growth of the cowbird chick outstrips that of the native chicks, which often perish due to the cowbird receiving most of the parent's food. Cowbirds don't thrive on plants alone, however, and they soon die when subjected to the vegetarian diet of the goldfinch.
Male American goldfinches are now at the peak of their feathered finery. They sport a jaunty black cap and ebony wings and tail, which form a striking contrast against brilliant golden-yellow body feathers. Females don't attain the bright colors of males, resembling a somber version of their showy mates. Goldfinches seem to exude happiness, gamboling about with an undulating flight constantly punctuated with sweet singsong twitters. They are social animals, too — quite tolerant of their brethren and prone to flocking at favored feeding sites.
Goldfinches are busily breeding now. They delay nesting to coincide with the maturation of thistles, coneflowers, coreopsis and other plants in the massive sunflower family. The down of ripe thistle, especially, is heavily integrated into their nests, and late summer's abundant crop of seeds provides fodder aplenty for the chicks.
Enjoy the colorful male goldfinches while you can. Come fall, they will commence the most conspicuous molt of any of our songbirds, rapidly shedding their lemony feathers and taking on the muted tones of the females. They'll ride out the winter dressed down. But come spring, the male goldfinches will cast off their low-key plumage and flash to life in a living sunburst explosion — Nature's wild canaries reborn.
Naturalist Jim McCormac writes a column for The Dispatch on the first and third Sundays of the month. He also writes about nature at www.jimmccormac.blogspot.com.

SFO is more than an airport. It's also a museum. On display now is the history of the mountain bike, "From Repack to Rwanda." What better place? Our international airport hard by San Francisco Bay is overlooked by Mount Tamalpais where the mountain bike sprouted wings in the 1970s and soared into a thriving industry by the early 1980s.
Three display cases house a wealth of mountain bike history from the balloon-tire Schwinns of the early 1940s to the audaciously futuristic Fisher Superfly. We follow the growth of the sport chronologically through words, pictures, maps, even video. Most is familiar to anyone who has been part of the mountain bike movement. But there are surprises.
I learned about one Erik Koski whose work on dropouts and forks (the now familiar U-shaped lugless design) blazed a trail to the modern bike with a better, more reliable ride. His innovations earned him a place in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, 1989.
All the more satisfying is the Project Rwanda display contrasting the modern and oh-so-primitive wooden mountain "bike." We see Tom Ritchey surrounded by children who may one day be elite bike racers or successful farmers helped by the modern mountain bike. Adrien Niyonshuti raced for his country in the London Olympics. He survived the country's ethnic cleansing in 1994, but lost six brothers.
Joe Breeze is credited with helping gather information for the display. Smart move. Joe's early mountain bike frames deserve their reputation for workmanship and it's only fitting that one of them would be on display in the Smithsonian.
While the mountain bike can't lay claim to being the first at anything (lest we forget cyclo-cross and those early "steeplechase" off-road races at the turn of the century) it changed the game and made cycling off-road something for everyone. More photos.

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
The history of health care over the past 30 years has included a long list of organizational types that come and go. Some are fads, some are promoted and subsidized by government, some are more talked about than actually undertaken.
Accountable care organizations — ACOs — certainly fall into this category. Our cover story is the latest to join the parade, whose other members include HMOs, PPOs, physician practice-management companies, shared-services organizations, integrated delivery systems, and so on.
In this case, the concept is getting a boost from the federal government under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which should count for something. Yet as you read the article, you realize that there's a lot to be done, and while the effort to integrate payers and providers in new alliances promises attractive results, there are many elements to be fit together.
Each participant will have new responsibilities for improving patient care, where each will face serious financial threats, where each will have to create a new internal culture. This is all easier said than done, and I think that is clear in the article, although the authors are upbeat about it.
Jeff Goldsmith, the well-known, perceptive, and loquacious consultant, is less optimistic (see my interview with him), to put it mildly.
Elsewhere in this issue, you will find a discussion of the frustrating management challenges of chronic fatigue syndrome, and a look at how specialty pharmacy management may change — in some cases, is already changing — over the next few years in response to the characteristics of drugs in the pipeline and the increasing need to keep a lid on costs. And we have a slightly whimsical look at what one pharmacy benefit manager is doing to create a bond directly with members.

A more current piece on/from Ken Hamm, directly from AiG.. should be good for a laugh.
Christian education is under attack in America as never before. Yesterday on this website, we highlighted the plight of the Romeikes, a German Christian family who is seeking asylum in America because the German government forbids their homeschool instruction. The Obama Administration is siding with the German government and its view of homeschooling, and they are seeking to deport this family who wants to educate their children in accord with God's Word. If the U.S. Attorney General succeeds in denying their asylum, it may have chilling ramifications for religious and educational liberties in the United States.
Today, we bring your attention to another attack on Christian education. A Christian K–12 school in South Carolina, with dedicated and highly qualified Christian teachers,1 has come under vicious attack by atheists. Why? Because one of its instructors, a fourth-grade teacher, tested her children about biblical creation, science, and dinosaurs (using AiG resources), and she has become (in)famous on many atheist websites and blogs.
The atheist buzz about the dinosaur-and-Bible quiz, however, is not really all that surprising.Over the past few years, we have seen atheists becoming more aggressive and intolerant towards Christians. (See the sidebar for just a few of the many examples we could cite.) They are attempting to impose their belief system (yes, their religion) on the culture.
It seems that since the last presidential election, atheists have grown more confident about having something of a license to go after Christians. These secularists want to impose their anti-God religion on the culture. They are simply not content using legislatures and courts to protect the dogmatic teaching of their atheistic religion of evolution and millions of years in public schools. There is something else on their agenda: they are increasingly going after Christians and Christian institutions that teach God's Word beginning in Genesis.
In South Carolina recently, a fourth-grade teacher at Blue Ridge Christian Academy (a nondenominational K–12 Christian school) showed students a DVD of a children's program, in which AiG song-writer and dinosaur sculptor Buddy Davis and I are featured. In this DVD, we teach children the history of the universe from the Bible, with a special emphasis on teaching dinosaurs from a biblical perspective (as we do inside our Creation Museum). The teacher handed out a question sheet to the children to test what they learned from the DVD. (See the quiz above.)
A friend of one of the parents who has a child enrolled in the fourth grade class posted the quiz sheets on the internet. The parent, like all parents who have children enrolled at this academy, had signed a statement, which acknowledged an understanding that sending their child to this Christian school would mean they would be taught biblical Christianity. The parent expressed dismay that his daughter was taught a biblical approach to dinosaurs. The quiz's posting to the internet resulted in a number of atheist websites reposting the questions and answers, and many of them responded in rage and vehement attacks on the school.
The school administrator, relatively new as the head of the academy, was shocked to find her school becoming the target of atheist attacks and even some threats. Articles on mainstream websites (like a Seattle TV station over 2,500 miles away), a UK website, and other places on the internet made the controversy grow even larger.
Now, this Christian academy is not a large school. Yet the atheists went after it with incredible fervor. The school administrator informed us she knew that the school would be involved in a spiritual battle after the quiz went public, but she was not expecting such ferocity. She told us she was shocked at the level of hate that the atheists poured down upon her, the teacher, and the school in general.
For the next two years, our special theme for the Answers in Genesis ministry is "Standing our Ground, Rescuing our Kids" (Galatians 1:4). We, too, have experienced recent increased attacks by atheists, especially whenever they discover we are influencing children with the truth of God's Word. These anti-God people hate the fact that Christians are teaching children to stand on the authority of the Bible; they want to be the ones teaching children and indoctrinating them into atheism. Even children's TV host Bill Nye has recently made many harsh statements against those of us who teach creation to children.
In a way, what is happening to this Christian school and also to the Romeike family should be a warning to all Christians: the atheists want your children. They are aggressively trying to demonize and marginalize Christians in their attempts to recruit your children for atheism or secularism.
Though we praise God for the minority of Christian "missionaries" who work as teachers in the public school system (and who need our prayers), government schools have increasingly become, in essence, churches of atheism. We are aware that the overwhelming majority of children raised in the church attend public schools, and thus it should not be surprising that with all the secularist indoctrination in schools, about two-thirds of our young people brought up in church are walking away from it by the time they reach college age. (See the book Already Gone for details.)
As we wrote yesterday on this website, the growing anti-Christian attacks in America should be a warning to the church that a chasm is widening between what is Christian and what is not. Christians can no longer straddle both sides of the chasm, for it's getting wider. They will ultimately have to decide which side they will stand on! And if those who are on God's side stand their ground on His Word without compromise, then they may face persecution of various forms.
More than ever, God's people need to be standing up publicly and unashamedly for the authority of His Word.
The authors of this web article have been highly impressed with the spiritual quality of this school, the administrator, and the teacher involved as they have had to cope with some very vicious attacks.1 We were encouraged to read on the school's website that the Academy believes, "God's truth is authoritative and is the foundation for all living and learning in order to develop a biblical worldview, while both understanding the culture in which they live and being ready to confidently defend their faith."
It must be frustrating for Blue Ridge Christian Academy for another reason right now. Like many Christian schools, it has been struggling financially during this recession. And, of course, they don't receive the tax money that public schools get.
At AiG, we want to help this school be a good example to the entire Christian community of how all believers should defend our faith and stand our ground so that more of our children can be rescued from this evil world. Galatians 1:4 states that Christ "gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father."
As an encouragement to this Christian school, which has been besieged lately, we ask you to contact the Academy through its website and offer your words of support—and also send it a donation as another means of encouragement. Blue Ridge Christian Academy www.brca.us is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization; you can donate with a credit card or through PayPal at www.brca.us (see the right side of the homepage), or you can send a generous check in the mail to this address: Blue Ridge Christian Academy, 424 Hwy. 101, Landrum, SC 29356.
At the very least, please send the Academy an email or letter of encouragement—and also pray for them.
Meanwhile, AiG will be working with the school administrator and her board to see what else we can do as a ministry to help them continue the calling it has to rescue kids from this present evil age.
Let's not forget this piece on the same page..

They leave the best for last: SEND MONEY! We even take credit cards.....or even send a GENEROUS check in the mail.
For centuries the church has had it their way and now, with the changing culture of our society, are realizing that "modern man" is becoming increasingly less likely to accept their bullshit dogma.
This just makes me angry. Indoctrination? REALLY?!
Liars don't like being called on their lies do they?
The bill boards and website not bad ideas really. I tend to have a live let live attitude . School should be left alone unless they are public in which case religion is an issue. Covered under separation of church and state. If that gets crossed then there is an issue. One that can be resolved through appropriate actions. following chain of command if that fails then legal action. If we go attacking christians for their faith we are no better. We risk a serious backlash that will erode our efforts to be seen as reasonable. Not to say we can't defend ourselves from their attacks merely suggesting tact and diplomacy might go much farther than say lashing out in reflex.
False beliefs which are destructive to the community (which creationism is) are non-defensible. Critical responses to such are appropriate, but mere counter-accusations is not. Tact and diplomacy have their place but irresponsible conduct must be directly confronted, not appeased.
Not even worth getting angry over honestly. Just a transparent attempt by the Christian Right to reflect their own faults and flaws on those they perceive as their enemies. :\
This is very silly... and sad.
I totally agree with Angela Kozma.
Heck, it was even shared on Faceook! It might have originated here, but I don't think so. Lying to young school children to advance your agenda does typically result in rage and often vehement attacks Go figure. :)
so retracting my previous statement. Still believe in tact and diplomacy but based on a few discussions i had with others about what i posted i see where my view had a few fallacies. I based what i knew of christian schools from well 35 years ago. I failed to account for society changes.
My view was didn't see christian schools as a problem. It was pointed out how teaching varied and the whole creation versus evolution is taking a stronger hold. when i attended catholic school we were still taught science including evolution.

"My grandson had a lot of fun making the siren sound and got to ring the bell he also enjoyed playing inside the firetruck and putting on the firefighter outfit and hat. There are a lot of nice pictures and firetrucks to enjoy."
Alliance, NE
"If you have someone in the family or a friend who is a fire fighter you need to see this museum. It is not big nor is it expensive to visit. It has a 1973 caddy ambulance that was still in use till a few years ago. That caddy is bigger than most boats. There is a ladder truck that tells the story of how it came to be. There is a notebook that talks of different disasters that fire fighters have dealt with in the area."
"If you have anyone who gets into fire trucks in your family or has served as a firefighter, this museum is a must. Located right off the interstate next to the Great Platte River Road Archway, it is really convenient and a cool place to stop."
Ogallala, NE
"I really enjoyed the museum. It had a lot of common sense information about how to prevent fires but sometimes we all forget some of this important information. As dry as a lot of this country is, it was a good reminder that the main reason for any fire is YOU. There were also quite a few firetrucks to look at. Remember Smokey the Bear--he is there."

Velo Orange is continuing to grow at a rate beyond my expectations. Thank you. While this is great news it also presents certain problems.
We need to ramp up production for some of the products we make, particularly the racks and decaleurs. We are going to be low on most models for the next 2-3 months. The simple fact is that they now sell faster than we can make them. We do have a plan to solve this; another welder will soon join the the US shop that makes them and the less expensive chrome plated racks will begin to arrive from Japan. But then the porteur racks will enter production and we may again face supply problems.
We are also having problems getting sufficient quantities of Grand Bois tires. I have decided to bring them over in larger quantities directly from the factory, but even they are unable to meet demand in a timely fashion.
Likewise we keep increasing our orders with Honjo and Ostrich, but it will take some time for them to catch up.
Now the good news. We recieved anther shipment of rear constructeur racks (note the new bottom loop), Grand Bois tires, and a few other items we've been short on.

Hang tough, brother. And... nice rack!

The lower loop really makes the rack (got my order for one in earlier today) even more special than the first.
If you have not already, take a look at the gorgeous Alex Singer currently up for auction on e-bay. The rear rack has a similiar treatment.
May be sacrilege, but I think yours does it a little better.

PPD's Phase I Clinic conducts clinical studies to determine how new medicines act in the bodies of healthy volunteers.
Get information about PPD posted on industry websites and publications.
Bringing one new drug to the public typically costs a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company on average more than $1 billion and takes an average of 10 to 15 years. PPD's comprehensive portfolio of services, spanning preclinical through post-approval, features integrated laboratory, Phase I-IV and consulting services to provide end-to-end solutions.
Download the .pdf version of the drug development process info graphic (Adobe Acrobat file, 194 Kb).
New drugs begin in the laboratory with scientists, including chemists and pharmacologists, who identify cellular and genetic factors that play a role in specific diseases. They search for chemical and biological substances that target these biological markers and are likely to have drug-like effects. Out of every 5,000 new compounds identified during the discovery process, approximately five are considered safe for testing in human volunteers after preclinical evaluations. After three to six years of further clinical testing in patients, only one of these compounds on average is ultimately approved as a marketed drug for treatment. The following sequence of research activities begins the process that results in development of new medicines:
In the preclinical stage of drug development, an investigational drug must be tested extensively in the laboratory to ensure it will be safe to administer to humans. Testing at this stage can take from one to five years and must provide information about the pharmaceutical composition of the drug, its safety, how the drug will be formulated and manufactured, and how it will be administered to the first human subjects.
In the United States, results of all testing must be provided to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or other appropriate regulatory agencies to obtain permission to begin clinical testing in humans. Regulatory agencies review the specific tests and documentation required to proceed to the next stage of development.
Testing of an investigational new drug begins with submission of information about the drug and application for permission to begin administration to healthy volunteers or patients.
In addition to obtaining permission from appropriate regulatory authorities, an institutional or independent review board (IRB) or ethical advisory board must approve the protocol for testing, as well as the informed consent documents that volunteers sign prior to participating in a clinical study. An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, community advocates and others that ensures a clinical trial is ethical and the rights of study participants are protected.
Clinical testing is usually described as consisting of Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical studies. In each successive phase, increasing numbers of patients are tested.
After the FDA (or other regulatory agency for drugs marketed outside the U.S.) approves a new drug, pharmaceutical companies may conduct additional studies, including Phase IIIb and Phase IV studies. Late-stage drug development studies of approved, marketed drugs may continue for several months to several years.

In a new post to his blog, Jim Plush talks about why he made the choice to go with the Zend Framework over other framework options for his company (Panasonic).
At Panasonic like most large companies we have a plethora of websites ranging from little one off reporting sites to full scale applications. A major problem arises when these sites are left up to the discretion of the developers to choose their own styles, languages and frameworks(mostly custom to themselves). [...] This was where we were 7 months ago. During that time I've been developing a Zend Framework based application that will house all these sub-apps as "modules" underneath the main Zend umbrella.
He lists the reasons why he chose Zend's framework offering - it has the strength of a company behind it, its flexible, its proved its stability, the small footprint and the copious amount of documentation that's been worked up. He also points out a few things that can help keep his development (and, really, anyone's) on the "straight and narrow" - code reviews, a code inspector and unit testing.

Riplash Ruins, found at the southernmost portion of the Borean Tundra near the Riplash Strand, are ruins of what appears to be a night elf or highborne city. There is a shrine here that looks like the Temple of the Moon, but with a statue of Queen Azshara in it. Raj Naz'jan was the emperor of Riplash 500 years ago.
Recently, the Skadir wiped out most of the naga (leaving only Veehja) and took the ruins for themselves, using them as a staging ground for attacks on the Borean Tundra. Ragnar Drakkarlund can be found here. The Skadir plan to revive Leviroth.
Lands of Mystery EditThis section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft RPG, and thus unlikely to be canon.
The old ruin stands at the tundra's south end — the southern tip of Northrend. From its architecture, it appears to be nerubian, except that it is mostly above ground. There may have been an earthquake long ago, possibly the result of magma beneath, and this section of Azjol-Nerub which uplifted this section up to the surface. Regardless, nerubians aren't there now, and a pack of naga moved in some time ago. They attack anyone who gets within range.[1]
In Wrath of the Lich King, the ruins have now been described as an ancient night elf or highborne city, and not a section of Azjol-Nerub.
Notes Edit
- It was said at BlizzCon 2007 that from here the naga sought to flood the region by melting the icecaps. This was also mentioned at the Borean Tundra page at the Wrath of the Lich King town hall.[2] The naga's plan is not mentioned in-game. Their plans may have been halted by the re-emergence of the kvaldir, or the idea was scrapped.
On the ceiling roof of the tower Ragnar Drakkarlund stands in, is a mural of constellations. And, below the mural is a narrow ledge where you can find an easter egg (literally) tucked into a crevice.
