There will be blood - Behind the scenes!
posted by Miss_Dreamer
So gruesome آپ sometimes can't look, so real آپ double-take, and so essential to the quality of the دکھائیں that it wouldn't be what it is without them. The make-up effects used in heroes are in a whole league of thier own. From graphic autopsy thrillers to extremely nasty burns, so much of what آپ see is real-life make-up and prosthetic effects. Heading the team that break bones, mangle hands and scar faces is the shows make-up producer and designer, GLENN HETRICK.

DarkSarcasm's 10 پسندیدہ Heroes Moments - Season 1

Each time I see a great scene in a show, I mentally put it on a list. Sometimes these lists are transferred to paper, which get lost within a few days, یا sometimes I forget altogether. After months of procrastinating, I'm proud to present the first فہرست that actually made it to the screen - my سب, سب سے اوپر 10 Heroes scenes from season one. I probably shouldn't have to warn you, but just in case - if you're a new پرستار and haven't finished season 1 yet, here be spoilers.

Heroes vs X-Men: Characters' Powers
posted by cressida
I enjoy watching Heroes. I truly do. It's a great دکھائیں to watch and every week I tune in. But from the very beginning of season one, I had issues with Heroes and its very obvious character parallels to X-Men. Sure there are those basic powers one must hit for entertainment purposes: flying, instant healing, reading minds. But just for my sake of drawing the character parallels because this stuff interests me, here are some of the instant X-Men/Heroes connections (nine-tenths of my X-Men knowledge is based on the فلمیں -- so I apologize if I managle comic book lore.)

Nissan Versa. Nissan Versa.
Tim Kring is a genius. Masi Oka is a rockstar. Ali Larter and Hayden Panittiere are smoking hot. NBC's new دکھائیں Heroes is the talk of the town and for good reason.

Matt Parkman - The Unsung Hero

Well, I thought I'd write a little tribute to Matt Parkman since he is my پسندیدہ hero. He probably isn't alot of people's favorite.

The Rapists of Heroes
posted by Dragonclaws
Heroes is a dramatic دکھائیں that has many common themes, such as sexuality and violence. A theme that runs between those two is that of rape and other sexual assault/violence elements. Some of Heroes' sexual predators have been used to bring sex appeal to the show, engaging the viewers while simultaneously repelling them, while others are meant simply to disgust and terrify. Characters Brody, Doyle, Sylar, Flint, and even Elle to some extent have threatened our protagonists with sexual violence.
Despite having no powers of which to speak, Brody is perhaps the most disturbing. He doesn't start...

Labeled High Art, Ridgefield Symphony Music Director Yuga Cohler's concert last Saturday evening, this time at the Ridgefield Playhouse, featured cellist Jay Campbell as guest soloist for Joseph Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major in a wide-ranging program that also included Anton Webern's atonal Six Pieces for Orchestra and Ottorino Respighi's musically descriptive Trittico Botticelliano.
For centuries, thematic development and connective repetition have been the chief means by which composers express and listeners follow emotional direction and movement in music. So, since thematic development is impossible in atonal music (music without a major or minor key harmonic basis), and since Webern also disallowed repetition in his Six Pieces for Orchestra, how was he to achieve coherence and direction, and what should audiences listen for?
Because the usual sort of development was impossible and because he was essentially a Romantic, he chose to express moods and movement through sequences of wonderfully colored chamber-music-like musical vignettes, using a larger selection of orchestral instruments in small isolated groups, moving his music and consequently his listeners in progressive stages of increased intensity towards a climax in the fourth piece and then towards a relaxed, quiet ending in the sixth.
Although Webern's works are unlikely (anytime soon anyway) to appear on WQXR's annual 100 Audience Favorites List, his approach has influenced a number of other more mainstream composers, Stravinsky among them; and Maestro Cohler gets high marks for sharing his own understanding and appreciation of Webern's atonal approach with his Ridgefield audience, skillfully managing and unifying the music's progressive sequence of colorfully orchestrated musical impressions to underscore the composer's imaginative structuring and expressive intent.
Respighi's Trittico Botticelliano is a beautiful musical depiction of three Botticelli paintings – Spring (complete with bird calls and a bucolic dance melody), The Adoration of the Magi (a Siciliana with echoes of Gregorian chant), and The Birth of Venus (with a sensuous melodic "Venus" theme and an undercurrent suggestion of the waves from which Venus is seen emerging in the picture.
As in his handling of the Webern pieces, Maestro Cohler was masterful in his direction of balances, phrasing and coloration; and his orchestra followed him at every point. Orchestral playing was fine throughout, with special kudos due to lovely solo and ensemble woodwind playing, especially in The Adoration of the Magi, and excellent overall balance and coloration in The Birth of Venus.
Haydn probably wrote his Cello Concerto No. 1 in the early 1760's, during the first years of his service at the palace of Prince Esterházy in Austria, but it remained unknown for over 200 years (probably unidentified in the vast collection of some noble family) until it was happily discovered and authenticated in Prague's National Library in 1961. Now a much-appreciated adornment of standard repertory, it is a beautiful early Classical work, with a jaunty, dance-like first movement, a richly lyrical slow movement, and a lively finale that, with its combination of lively lyricism and agile technical display, is an obvious solo showpiece.
passages (perhaps featuring the use of harmonics) that were played so softly that they were effectively inaudible to those of us seated toward the rear of the concert hall.
Otherwise cellist Jay Campbell's impressive amalgam of interpretive sensitivity and technical mastery assured a memorable performance. Haydn, who probably wrote the concerto for a particular cellist in his orchestra at Esterházy Palace, undoubtedly intended it as both a musically expressive and a technically challenging showpiece; and Jay Campbell's performance would undoubtedly have pleased Haydn on both counts.
Haydn's early Classical period orchestra was very small (perhaps twelve or so players plus Haydn himself at a harpsichord), and Campbell's carefully articulated and lyrically gentle handling of the middle movement's lovely lyricism would have been right on the mark in the early eighteenth-century setting; and Campbell's technical prowess – the sort of nimble agility that makes even technically challenging music sound easy – would have made Haydn smile.
I'm sure that others in last Saturday evening's audience would join me in looking forward to more performances in the future by this exceptional young artist.

Large scale CASTEP calculations to interpret solid-state NMR and Vibrational Spectroscopy Experiments
eCSE04-010

eCSE Technical Report: Large scale CASTEP calculations to interpret solid-state NMR and Vibrational Spectroscopy Experiments
In recent years it has become clear that in the broad discipline of Materials Science the power of modern experimental spectroscopic techniques is inextricably linked to the availability of advanced computational tools and the infrastructure to run such simulations. This is particularly true in the fields of solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and vibrational spectroscopy (neutron and X-ray scattering, Raman and IR spectroscopy), where deployment of first-principles methods to predict experimental observables has enabled many research groups to employ a combined experimental and computational approach.
Solid-state NMR spectra are a rich source of information about atomic-level structure and dynamics, capable of providing information on wide range of materials both with and without long range order. Planewave pseudopotential approaches developed in the last 10 years have been demonstrated to be an invaluable tool for predicting and interpreting solid-state NMR observables. Notably, the GIPAW (gauge-including projector augmented wave) method (and in particular its implementation in the CASTEP code) gives excellent agreement with experiment and has been rapidly taken up by the experimental solid-state NMR community. Many experimentalists rightly describe the impact of GIPAW calculations on the field as revolutionary. Practically all solid-state NMR research groups in the UK make use of GIPAW calculations in their research accessing a range of departmental and institutional level HPC resources.
Similarly, inelastic neutron scattering is one of the most important experimental probes of lattice vibrations, with world-class high resolution instruments such as TOSCA and the new LET hosted at the ISIS facility. It is complemented by IXS, with STFC funding for the ID28 instrument at ESRF, which can be applied to tiny single crystals, dramatically extending the range of materials which can be studied. First principles lattice dynamics calculations (at which CASTEP excels) have revolutionised the ability to interpret spectra of complex materials. Indeed both experimental proposals and publications now risk failing peer review without a modelling component.
In this project we have significantly improved the parallel scaling of the spectroscopic modules in CASTEP (specifically NMR and vibrational) by introducing an additional layer parallelism into the code - parallelism over perturbations. Many spectroscopic parameters can be considered as the response of the electronic structure to a perturbation. For example the NMR J-coupling is the response of a system to the magnetic field generated by excitation of a nuclear spin; the NMR magnetic shielding is the response of a system to an applied external magnetic field; lattice dynamics is the response of the system to the movement of the ionic cores. Utilising this new level of parallelism means that for large core counts the parallel FFT is only computed within a small subset of the participating cores - dramatically increasing the scaling performance of the code. We give an indicative example for the simplest case - that of the NMR J-coupling: For a moderately large system (108 atoms) there are 108 independent perturbations. Previously these were computed sequentially i.e. one after the other. As shown in Figure 1 the scaling of the parallel 3d FFT limits the number of nodes that can be used effectively to about 4 with each perturbation taking about 4 hours to compute. Having implemented the automatic parallelisation over perturbation sites the calculation shows nearly linear scaling up to 108*4 nodes (10368 cores) (Figure 2). This dramatically decreases the time to science.
Achievement of objectives
The project had four main objectives:
Perturbation parallel for NMR J-coupling tensors:
Objective fully met. We have demonstrated close to linear scaling with the number of perturbation farms, extending to over 10k cores. We anticipate the software will scale to even larger core counts for larger problem sizes. The new functionality is included in the development version of CASTEP, and is ready to be made available to Archer users.
Perturbation parallel for NMR Magnetic Shielding tensors:
Using the experience gained in NMR J-coupling tensors, further analysis revealed that this development would give only marginal performance improvements. For this reason this objective was not pursued.
Perturbation parallel for Phonon/vibrational properties:
Objective fully met. We have demonstrated very good scaling of the perturbation part of the calculation with the number of farms - extending to over 4k cores. Again we anticipate larger core counts would enable scaling to extend to larger number of cores. However, tests show a less good scaling of the total calculation time. This is due to the calculation of the e-field response, which does not scale with the number of farms. A simple re-factoring of the code (c. 1 month) will remove this bottleneck, at which point the code will be made available to the ARCHER community.
A further objective is the development of heuristics to inform users of the best parallel strategy for a particular job:
We have extended the phonon_kpoint tool to take account of the new parallel distributions - this identifies optimal core counts for the specific job.
Summary of the software
CASTEP is a UK-based state-of-the-art implementation of DFT and a flagship code for UK HPC. It was designed from the ground up according to sound software engineering principles and with HPC in mind. CASTEP describes the electronic states ("bands") using a plane-wave (Fourier) basis, necessitating the heavy use of parallel fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) for efficiency. This implementation, while general, is very well-suited to solid-state applications including defects and interfaces. The robustness and reliability of the code has strongly contributed to its widespread adoption by the experimental communities detailed above.
In recent years the scalability of CASTEP has improved dramatically through the efforts of the CASTEP Developers Group, STFC-Daresbury (via the SLA) and a series of dCSE grants. CASTEP is a code that can be used on a variety of sizes of HPC systems, depending on the physical size and complexity of the material being studied. This can range from a single core PC suitable for the study of a few 10s of atoms, up to a few thousand cores for systems with 1000s of atoms. For large problem sizes the scaling limit of CASTEP arises from the need to perform distributed 3d FFTs.

TOO DISRUPTIVE – Reaction to Readings on Identity
March 14, 2015 / Jay Loomis / 1 Comment
David Buckingham. Youth, Identity, Digital Media. Chapter 1 "Introducing Identity."
Etienne Wenger. Communities of Practice. Chapter 6 "Identity in Practice."
The Giddens-Foucault binary is especially revealing of talks concerning identity. On one hand there is Giddens who believes in the "choice" of identity. On the other, is Foucault. Michel Foucault, whose theories revolutionized 20th-century thinking (yet is as of late becoming known as being old-fashioned and almost cliche) aligns himself with the idea that people's identities are shaped by the world they live in. I believe that each scholar has their own merit. As the lines between "identity" and "identification" are perceived to be more blurred, so do these two arguments. Technology seems to serve as the catalyst for self reflection with regard to others.
Buckingham also critiques (overly harsh in my opinion) Erving Goffman's dramaturgical sense of self. Goffman argues the idea of the situational self. The situational self can be regarded as a person that presents his or herself with regard to the current definition or "rules" of the situation. For example, a person that maintains a job as an elementary school teacher will present in a different way than we they work in a bar on the weekends. In terms of the Internet, the web may be seen as a particular situation that one may choose to identify in a certain way. However, I also believe that the technological methods of information and social transfer are slowly changing the way in which a "base" or "backstage" or "ideal" or "felt" self is constructed.
The ways in which the Internet may or may not affect identity (transcendent- vs. desocialized-technological determination) calls to mind the idea of the medium. What or who is the medium? At this point I'm still not sure if people are or are not.
The biggest point in the Wenger article that stands out is his idea of the "trajectory" of identity as the rest of his ideas align with general sociological teaching. I believe that making the focused distinction that not only does identity form over time (which sociologists agree on), but that it is the cumulative process (including all points along the self-growth timeline) is what separates Wenger's identity theory. In this way, it aptly reflects a CoP form of tradition: the CoP in-group is formed over time.
CHRIS:
Wenger speaks about the community's ability to speak for us, about our nature, qualifications, knowledge base, etc. This works to our benefit in organizational environments, where membership and participation indicate status and value. In some cases, especially in communities based on a single attribute, the projection of the community stereotype is limiting. Several negative outcomes caused by generalizing based on single/limited communal attributes: racial profiling, use of stereotypes to justify escalating "objectively" determined risk levels–leading to sanctioned violence, and genocide.
Increasing the complexity of the community's membership positively influences the trajectory of the identificational trajectories. A wider membership, experience-base, knowledge base, and access to resources, [networking] culminates success.
Buckingham's theories indicate that social progress, mutation, and/or development occurs on a timeline that has departed from chronological realism. Such identity changes are more closely measured by events and experiences.
Our digital facades allow us to explore communities in any way that we choose to approach them, making the experience unique to that digital exploration of self.
KATHERINE:
social identity should be seen not so much as a fixed possession, but as a social process, in which the individual and the social are inextricably related
Individual selfhood is a social phenomenon, but the social world is constituted through the actions of individuals. As such, identity is a fluid, contingent matter—it is something we accomplish practically through our ongoing interactions and negotiations with other people. In this respect, it might be more appropriate to talk about identification rather than identity"
the Internet provides significant opportunities for exploring facets of identity that might previously have been denied or stigmatized, or indeed simply for the sharing of information on such matters. Such arguments presume that media can be used as a means of expressing or even discovering aspects of one's "true self," for example, in relation to sexuality.
Yet on the other hand, these media can also be seen to provide powerful opportunities for identity play, for parody and subversion of the kind promoted by queer theory. Here, the emphasis would lie not on honesty and truth, but on the potential for performance and even for deception. Sherry Turkle's discussion of the fluidity of online identities—for example, in the form of "gender bending" in Internet communities—provides one well-known (and much debated) instance of this kind of approach.
Technological determinism – from this perspective, technology is seen to emerge from a neutral process of scientific research and development, rather than from the interplay of complex social, economic, and political forces.
Wenger. Communities of Practice. Chapter 6 "Identity in Practice."
Identity as negotiated experience. We define who we are by the ways we experience ourselves through participation as well as by the ways we and other reify ourselves.
Identity as community membership. We define who we are by the familiar and the unfamiliar.
Identity as learning trajectory. We define who we are by where we have been and where we are going.
Identity as nexus of multimembership. We define who we are by the ways we reconcile our various forms of membership into one identity.
Identity as a relation between the local and the global. We define who we are by negotiating local ways of belonging to broader constellations and of manifesting broader styles and discourses.
JAY:
Buckingham and Wenger coincided in their discussions on identity in several ways. Both authors emphasized that identity is neither static nor steady; instead, they describe how it is a "state of becoming," and that the process of "identification" is going on all the time. Wenger and Buckingham discuss several perspectives on identity in the modern era, and how identities are perceived and projected in digital realms. One of Buckingham's most compelling arguments is that he juxtaposes common concepts of identity politics (focused on gender, ethnicity, age, etc.), with the way digital technology and the web function as tools for people to create constantly changing projections of their identities through content production online. In his discussion he contrasts the fluid expressions of identity through social media with fixed ideas of identity that characterize certain aspects of traditional identity politics mentioned above. Buckingham suggests the term "identification" as a possible replacement of "identity," to emphasize the dynamic process that is involved in the way people are constantly defining themselves in different ways. Wenger contributes to this discussion on identity by describing several specific ways that people participate in the procession of "identification." He says that identity is "lived" through "participation and reification," and that a person's perception of self is in a constant process of "negotiation;" this process is not reserved only for adolescence. Wenger emphasizes that identity is also lived out in community, and we understand ourselves through the "familiarity that we experience in certain social contexts." He goes on to say that our identity is the result of a "nexus" of interlocking contexts and our ability to function "across boundaries of practice." According to Wenger all of this "identification" takes place both locally and globally.
One of the most interesting parts of these readings for me was the paradoxical etymology of the word identity which Buckingham described in the opening of his chapter. From its roots, the word identity describes both sameness and difference at once. On one hand, our identity is something that indicates who we are and defines us (somewhat consistently) by setting us apart, but at the same time our identity is also defined by who we are connected to. As the Spanish proverb says: "Tell me who you hang with and I'll tell you who you are." "Dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres."

An excellent team summary … I enjoyed reading every one of your insightful words.


TIANJIN – Chinese police have for the first time confirmed deadly sodium cyanide at the site of two huge warehouse blasts that killed 85 people, state media said on Saturday, as a series of new, small explosions were heard and small fires broke out.
Police confirmed the presence of the chemical, fatal when ingested or inhaled, "roughly east of the blast site" in an industrial zone in the northeastern port city of Tianjin, the state-run Beijing News said.
It did not say how much had been found or how great a risk it posed.
The blasts late on Wednesday originated in a warehouse storing toxic chemicals and some residents expressed concern that the air and water could have been poisoned.
An area three km (two miles) from the site was cordoned off while one school, which had been set up as a safe haven for residents living close to the danger area, had since been evacuated, the Beijing News said. It did not give a reason.
"At the moment, the (air pollution) does not pose much danger to those in the vicinity," said Bao Jingling, a former engineer with the city's environmental protection bureau.
Harmful substances could not be detected in the air from 17 monitors placed around the city, said Bao.
with around 721 injured and 33 in serious condition, Xinhua news agency said. Shockwaves from the explosions were felt by residents in apartment blocks kilometres away in the city of 15 million people. Twenty-one of the dead were fire fighters.
About a dozen family members of missing fire fighters tried to storm Bao's press conference, angry at a lack of information about their loved ones.
"We have gone to each and every hospital by ourselves and not found them," said Wang Baoxia, whose elder brother is missing.
"There is no government official willing to meet us. Not even one," she said. Relatives said around 25 fire fighters they said were missing were young contract workers not part of official city fire brigades.
After Wednesday's blasts, fire crews were criticised for using water to douse flames which may have contributed to the blasts given the volatile nature of the chemicals involved.

Auctions helping South Africa break through 'glass ceiling'
Chris Mercer March 25, 2014
Cape Wine Auction
South African wineries are on the right track to overcoming consumer misconceptions about their standing in the fine wine world, but it will take time, says Accolade's chief winemaker in the country, Bruce Jack.
Bidders begin to gather for the AfrAsia Bank Cape Wine Auction earlier this month
The past year has been relatively kind to South African wine. Producers took advantage of favourable exchange rates and their country's rising reputation to achieve record exports of nearly 527m litres – equivalent to 700m bottles – in 2013.
But, there continues to be a stigma around South African wines that prevents them from reaching the upper echelons of many restaurant lists, according to Bruce Jack.
'There's a glass ceiling,' he told a masterclass at a recent trade tasting held by UK supplier Matthew Clark in London. 'But, we'll eventually break through it, once people realise how good the wines are.'
He highlighted Shiraz and Viogner as key varietals now in South Africa's wine arsenal. 'There's been huge growth in Shiraz plantings. They made up 7% of vine plantings in South Africa in 1999 and now its 38%,' he said.
He also said Viogner clones have shown more promise in South Africa than many parts of Australia, where it initially found a New World home after being imported from France.
Recent auctions have boosted South Africa's fine wine image. In late 2013, the 29th Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Auction saw a 14.5% increase in the price paid per litre. And at the inaugural charity Cape Wine Auction earlier this month, South African wines contributed strongly to the sales total of 7m rand ($640,000), even though the lure of foreign travel appeared to fuel prices for many of the best-selling of the 40 lots.
Among the wine lots, a 220l barrel of Waterford Estates' The Jem, split between bottles and magnums, fetched 160,000 rand ($15,000), while 27 vintages of Meerlust Rubicon from 1980 to 2009 – plus lunch at the estate and a Rovos Rail train journey from Pretoria to Durban – sold for 150,000 rand.
Auction trustee Mike Ratcliffe said he was 'overwhelmed' by the success of the sale, which attracted 250 bidders based based in South Africa and overseas and was sponsored by AfrAsia bank.

Egypt Hopes to Secure More LNG from Qatar
Source: Reuters 10/22/2013, Location: Africa
Egypt hopes that political tensions with natural gas giant Qatar will not undermine efforts to secure supplies from the Gulf state, but sees Algeria and Yemen as other options, a top state oil executive said.
Tarek El Molla, chairman of state-run Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), recognised the importance of keeping channels open with Qatar.
"Let us say they are among the biggest LNG suppliers in the world, (but) we have still possibilities with Algeria, Yemen, with other countries," he told Reuters in an interview.
Doha agreed in May to donate five cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and initial talks were held for Egypt to buy at least 13 more.
But Cairo's relations with Qatar deteriorated after the Egyptian army deposed President Mohamed Mursi on July 3. Qatar had been a firm backer of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood and lent or gave Egypt $7.5 billion during the year he was in power.
Negotiations over additional cargoes have not resumed. A Qatari industry source said last month the Egyptian army must ease pressure on Brotherhood supporters before the two countries can resume talks on more fuel.
"But we haven't closed the door...We'll get back on the phone with them. We are professionals here, it's pure business."
LNG producer Egypt has curbed its exports in recent years due to supply shortages and growing domestic needs.
State-owned Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) issued a tender this month for a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) which it hopes to use by next April.
Molla said the terminal and LNG imports were needed to avoid an energy crunch next summer.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is reportedly thinking about a presidential run in 2020, and her team is currently thinking of a strategy to ensure she wins.
KAMALA HARRIS PLANNING FOR A 2020 RUN?
Iowa would be a pivotal state to Harris and she would plan to focus on it. Moreover, California, Nevada and South Carolina are also on her radar, and she even plans to travel to the latter this week. Notably, South Carolina will be a focal point for all Democrats in 2020, and since former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Cory Booker are well-known there, Harris will need to make a name for herself down there.
She will also arrive in Iowa next Monday in a test of her viability, staying there until Tuesday to make stops at Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Harris will "likely campaign later this fall in California" too.
Between former United States President Barack Obama claiming Iowa during the 2008 election and Harris' own success in winning over white progressives in her home state, her advisors believe she could prove to be a viable force in Iowa. New Hampshire is expected to be a challenge, however; Harris has yet to visit the state, and many of her colleagues — such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren — are more established there.
However, Harris' advisors maintain that if she can court black voters in South Carolina, that could translate into success in Southern primaries if African American voter turnout is high. As such, she would likely spend a lot of time campaigning in Nevada and California, depending on labor unions and activists from the latter to move over to the former to help her campaign.

Raising the flag
Girl Scout Ambassador Adeline Whitmore on Saturday celebrated the completion of her Gold Award project, the Village of Nichols Veterans Memorial Park.
Local veterans from the Nichols American Legion raise the flag at the new veterans memorial park in Nichols in Saturday.
NICHOLS — "It was always a dream of the village to have a veterans park right here in Nichols, and Adeline Whitmore made it happen," Nichols Village Mayor Lesley Pelotte declared Saturday.
That dream culminated with the gathering of local veterans and community members Saturday for the opening of the new Veterans Memorial Park on West River Road in Nichols.
A brand-new sidewalk leads up to two benches located at the park with a large stone and a plaque placed in front of a flag pole, which a group of veterans from the Nichols American Legion used to raise an American flag to kick off the special ceremony.
Following the Pledge of Allegiance by Girl Scout Troop 61082, members of the Tioga Central High School Band led off with a performance of the National Anthem.
That music was followed by the comments from Pelotte, which led to much thanks from Whitmore.
"My hope is that this memorial will be here to honor and remember veterans for many years," she said. "Without the courageous sacrifices of these men and women, we wouldn't be here today to enjoy the freedoms that we have."
For Whitmore, the park is the product of two years of hard work to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award. In order to raise the funds needed for the park, she organized community yard sales, pancake breakfasts, a motorcycle rally and also approached local businesses for donations.
"As a village, we are very proud to have this park to honor our veterans," Pelotte added.
After WWII, three-quarters of a century battling PTSD
By MATT FREEZE/Staff Writer
Above, Waverly native Bill Cowles is pictured at left in Europe the spring of 1945. Cowles served in the 415th Military Police Escort Guard attached to the 5th Ranger Battallion.
ATHENS — "When I came home, I was ready for the nuthouse," said World War II veteran Bill Cowles.
Seventy five years later, Cowles has said his memory "doesn't work like it used to."
However, he silently dealt with his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder over the decades by staying incredibly busy in the Valley community.
Cowles met his wife Virginia in 1947, and married one year later on Dec. 26, 1948.
He has long credited her for saving his life.
The few years after his arrival back home have been lost within foggy memory, but he recalls working for a short time at Ingersoll-Rand as a machinist.
That was until a heated dispute bubbled over, which involved a raised hammer and Cowles strongly suggesting that his co-worker go away. Cowles ended up quitting the job moments before his supervisor came down the hallway with the intent to fire him.
Shortly after, at a union meeting, he was rehired. However, he promptly walked over to his former boss and told him that though the dispute was over, he could take the job and "shove it."
From there, with an associates degree in engineering, Cowles went on to work for roughly five years at Ward Lafrance Truck Company in Elmira, designing state-of-the-art emergency response vehicles as a draftsman.
It was the suggestion of an acquaintance that prompted Cowles' application at IBM in Owego, from which he would eventually retire after 30 years.
Cowles said he enjoyed his job in Elmira but went through with the interview at IBM when they called him.
"He asked me when I could start, and I told him seven weeks," Cowles said. "He said 'I don't know if that will work for us.' But, I told him we were working on a very important project and I wasn't going to leave my guys before it was finished.'"
"He said I must be a pretty stand-up kind of guy," he continued. "I told him I try to be, and he offered me the job if I gave my word that I'd be there seven Mondays from that day."
Cowles' IBM career started at the airborne computer lab in Vestal as a junior engineer. A few years later in 1957, he was promoted to aircraft installation designer. Again in 1959, he was promoted to design engineer in installation development; associate engineer in tool design and test equipment in 1962, and senior associate tool designer in process engineering in 1969. He became a staff engineer/scientist in test equipment engineering in 1980.
He the worked on Project Gemini capsule in the early 1960s but can't quite recall the other particular projects he worked on.
But, he did remember that "they always had me in the hot spots."
"I never understood most of (his job)," Virginia said. "I could see where he was a very good engineer, because he always does things so precisely and correctly."
Outside of his professional life, Cowles was a whirlwind of activity each day as he tried to keep his mind busy.
"He was always busy and just kept going after retirement," his wife said.
She also explained that the main way she helped him deal with PTSD was allowing him to go do all the things he wanted.
"I think some women would've not gone along with it," she said. "It was difficult at times — him doing so much."
Cowles ran at least three miles every day in the same route throughout the Village of Waverly.
He was an instrumental figure in the Penn-York Archer's Club, which won countless tournaments and received steady news coverage in The Evening Times.
He also bowled and played golf often — he fondly remembers getting a hole-in-one at Tomasso's.
Being that he has been a lifelong outdoorsman, Cowles was a New York State certified hunter safety teacher and taught archery and marksmanship classes for both adults and youth in the Valley.
Additionally, he was a founding member of the Lockwood Farmers and Sportsmen Association as well as the Valley RC airplane club.
Cowles explained that he wanted to enter the service out of high school as a pilot but did not pass the vertigo test. His love of airplanes and flight continues to this day as he has dozens of photos of model planes and radio control systems he built along with a stack of airplane magazines in his room at Sayre Health Care Center.
With all those activities, Cowles always made time for fishing, trapping and hunting — even getting the IBM award for getting the biggest buck among all company employees, weighing in at 178 pounds.
He recalled fishing up north, where another man was "being a wise guy with his line — the next thing I knew, he was in the river, and I told the other guy 'I don't think he's going to bother you anymore.'"
With Virginia, the two would also practice archery and marksmanship, with her winning several trophies and shooting a perfect score on a few occasions.
Additionally, they would fish together, go on boat rides, rollerblading, dancing lessons and more.
"We had a lot of fun," she said.
Through it all, "Bill never talked about the war," Virginia said, "He had very good friends that were in the war, and they never talked about it."
"He doesn't like to watch movies or read about it," she continued. "It's terrible when you take a 18-year-old and throw them in that kind of situation. Of course it affects them."
"Especially in that war, at that time, the men came back and didn't talk about it," Virginia said. "Now, they have learned that it's much better if they talk to each other and let it out rather than keep it all buried."
For decades, they didn't know he had a PTSD diagnosis.
"I didn't realize what it was until we went to the VA, and this man there knew what was going on and told us," she said. "It helped me to realize what it was. It was a long time before we knew what it was."
Cowles had been prescribed Xanax for a number of years, and when it was discovered that long-term use of the medication was the cause of chronically low blood pressure that led to him passing out, his prescription was changed.
Going on eight decades later, Cowles and his wife — as well as their three children, Bill, Patricia and David — have endured his PTSD and other combat-sustained physical ailments in the most honorable way imaginable.
Bravery, honor, and sacrifice
Staff photo
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. George Crowell and retired U.S. Marine Corps Captain Dr. Frank Kozlowski, who is also an Athens social studies teacher, hold an American flag at Athens High School on Friday.
ATHENS BOROUGH – Around 25 million U.S. military veterans are living today, according to retired U.S. Marine Corps captain and long-time Athens social studies teacher Dr. Frank Kozlowski. And although their experiences while in uniform may have varied greatly, their service all began the same way – with an oath.
"With that oath they implicitly have said, 'If it comes to it, I will give my life,'" said Kozlowski.
During a Veterans Day assembly Friday, signaling the start of a new tradition of honor and remembrance at the Athens Area High School, Kozlowski asked the students to keep one thing in mind as they listened to him and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. George Crowell that morning: "What are you willing to die for?"
Kozlowski said that question and the sacrifice veterans are willing to make for their country is the foundation to character traits such as honor, selflessness, and bravery.
"Whenever you see a veteran, think about these values that I talk about, that these people have a sense of honor, that love of country," he stressed to the students.
A few student hands raised when asked if their parents were veterans, or who planned to pursue the military after high school. When asked how many know a veteran, nearly every hand shot up.
As Crowell spoke to the students, he emphasized the connections that everyone has with veterans and how all who serve, whether they are on the front lines or cleaning the mess hall, all play a role in America's defense.
"Wherever you go, whatever you do, you have people just like yourself that are all serving and doing things like this," said Crowell, who also encouraged students to visit the Bradford County Veterans Memorial Park in Towanda Borough and check out the many bricks laid honor or memory of county residents who have served.
"If you have the opportunity you should go see them," said Crowell. "I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see so many veterans until we started seeing things like the bricks and all of the people who go their to pay their respects."
During his opening remarks, high school Principal Corey Mosher reflected on the stories heard from his grandfather, who served in the U.S. Navy on board the USS Alaska during World War II.
Mosher said he might have not appreciated those stories from his "poppy" during his younger years but now holds on to all of that wisdom to this day.
"They are truly memories that I will always hold onto for the rest of my life," Mosher said.
"Enjoy them, hold on to them, listen, and soak up all of that information. And, most importantly, spend as much time with them as you can," he added. "The knowledge and wisdom you can gain from them is indestructible. I am very thankful for all of our veterans and hope that all of you understand the importance of what they have done for our country."
This includes allowing these students and those throughout the community to enjoy the lives they have today.
"Honor American veterans for their dedication to our country, especially those who gave their lives and those who have sustained life-long disabilities for our sake – physical and psychological, as in PTSD," said Kozlowski. " … It's truly they who have made our nation the home of the brave."
The unfulfilled mission for a Purple Heart
ATHENS — From Normandy beach on D-Day, through the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge, World War II veteran Bill Cowles has lived the last 75 years with blown-out hearing, neuropathy from frostbite, and shrapnel in his hand.
However, 95-year-old Cowles has still yet to receive a Purple Heart for being wounded in combat.
This is certainly not due to lack of effort.
Both Dr. Rachel Lee, a now-retired dermatologist, and Vietnam veteran Bernie Pietro of the Sayre Health Care Center, can each point to their own stacks of documents and letters in their respective efforts to get Cowles the well-deserved Purple Heart.
Both have sent countless letters to numerous representatives and military officials, but the medal continues to be elusive.
Thus far, attempts at progress inevitably revert back to the fact that Cowles did not have a medical exam upon discharge in late 1945.
"The proof in the pudding is that I never had a physical for discharge," Cowles said. "The colonel was so damn mad I wouldn't re-enlist, he just signed the discharge and the next thing I knew, I was shipped out to come home."
"The Syracuse VA said I should've had my Purple Heart, but the colonel that interviewed me gave me a ring job," Cowles said. "He didn't report a damn thing about what had happened to me."
While sifting through a fat folder of documents, Lee explained that the offices of Rep. Tina Pickett, Sen. Pat Toomey and Sen. Bob Casey were helpful, but they all "kept hitting dead ends."
Being that Cowles was a Waverly resident, Lee reached out to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for assistance, but she received no response.
"Not a word," Lee said.
Eventually, she learned that one avenue to pursue was to get the decision before a court.
With the requisite paperwork submitted, the request was denied to hear the case.
"The letter basically said that (Cowles) had to go to a medic when he was hurt," Lee explained. "Come on — on Omaha Beach, with guys drowning next to you and people having their legs shot off from up on the cliff? He wasn't going to go to a medic."
Cowles said the same: "With guys laying around here with their arms missing, shot up all over the place, legs blown off — I knew where they'd tell me I could go."
Incredibly frustrated at the lack of success in an effort that has spanned more than a decade, Lee reached up as high as she could go.
"I said just get it to President Trump, and he'd say 'well, screw this,'" she said, certain that he would get it done.
The correspondence was forwarded from the White House to the U.S. Army Awards and Records Branch. But again, a denial came back.
"During World War II and the first part of the Korean War, soldiers requiring hospitalization for severe frostbite were eligible to receive the Purple Heart," Lee said, reading the letter. "The frostbite must have been incurred while the soldiers were actively engaged in combat operations and must have been subsequent to November 1943."
Cowles received frostbite after spending 78 hours in a fox hole during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945.
"The severity of the frostbite had to be officially documented in medical records," she continued reading.
"Upon review of the provided documentation, Mr. Cowles did not seek medical attention following a gunshot wound to the hand," Lee read from the letter. "Additionally, Army regulation explicitly prohibits the award of a Purple Heart on the basis of hearing loss and tinnitus. While these medical events were clearly unfortunate, they do not meet the criteria for a purple heart."
D-Day was after 1943, but he wasn't hospitalized for it, she said.
The latest unresolved effort has been made through the VA hospital in Syracuse, where Cowles has been a patient for years.
It is hoped that, somewhere within their medical records, documented proof of his combat injury can help award a Purple Heart after 75 years.

Giant Springs Heritage State Park
4600 Giant Springs Rd
Discovered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 and one of the largest freshwater springs in the world. This is the site of the Roe River, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's shortest river. Giant Springs flows at a measured 7.9 millions gallons per hour or 193 million gallons of water per day. The water stays at a temperature of 54 degrees, and has been carbon dated to be about 3,000 years old. More than a quarter of a million people, visit Giant Springs Heritage Park each year. Many come to marvel at this remarkable feature, or to view the variety of bird life. Some come to visit the nearby Rainbow Falls Overlook, the visitor center, and the fish hatchery. The Fish Hatchery Program raises about 1.3 million fish annually. They are then distributed to areas within a 150-mile radius of the hatchery. A group picnic site is also available.
The visitor center (right across from the roadway from the springs) features taxidermy mounts of grizzly and black bears, educational features on fish and bird recognition, wildlife photographs, and a mini-theater that shows wildlife videos. It's open Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm.

21-Year Veteran Oregon Jail Guard Indicted for Sexual Assault
Loaded on May 15, 2012
Filed under: Staff-Prisoner Assault, Misconduct/Corruption, Guard Misconduct, Criminal Prosecution. Location: Oregon.
On February 29, 2012, a longtime Oregon jail guard was charged with sexually abusing a female prisoner in his custody.
Eddie James Miller, 59, worked twenty-one years for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office as a guard at the Inverness Jail in Portland, Oregon. His career came to a disgraceful end, however, when he forced a 34-year old female prisoner to perform oral sex on January 9, 2012. The prisoner immediately reported the incident to detectives, said Mike Schults, a chief deputy with the Sheriff's Department.
Her DNA was found on Miller and she testified before a grand jury, according to authorities. On February 29, 2012, the Grand Jury indicted Miller on charges of official misconduct in the first degree and custodial sexual misconduct in the first degree, according to court records.
After he was indicted, Miller turned himself in to his former colleagues on February 29, 2012. One deputy shook his hand while another patted him on the shoulder as he waited to be arraigned.
Miller pleaded not guilty to the charges, through his attorney, Lisa Ludwig. He was allowed to remain free pending trial, but he was fingerprinted, had his mug shot taken and was placed on pretrial supervision. The prisoner was transferred to a neighboring county jail for her safety, according to Schults.
"We take these things very seriously," said Schults. During the initial investigation, Miller was placed on paid leave but once he was indicted he was placed on unpaid leave. "Our members are held to the highest standards," declared a prepared sheriff's office statement. "Our agency investigates allegations of misconduct diligently and with the highest priority."

The Next Bestselling Subject
By Jack Eason Last updated Jan 23, 2022
As a reader, have you ever thought about where the books you love fit in the great scheme of things? Reading tastes are constantly changing. It would require a brave person indeed, who is willing to predict what the next bestselling subject will be.
It may not matter to you. But if you are a writer, where your book fits is always at the back of your mind. Every genre has multiple compartments within it, where discerning readers, critics, reviewers, and publishers like to place your work. People are people, after all, they love to pigeonhole things.
At this moment in time, while one of my books is selling well, the one I personally prefer which has earned nine extremely positive reviews on Amazon is not. If I had written it forty years ago it might have enjoyed a modicum of success.
While folk like it, not many are actually buying it. It fits into a small niche market that is currently out of fashion you see.
In its particular case, all I can hope for is a wholesale rediscovery of fantasy tales about goblins sometime in the future. At the moment people don't necessarily want to read a lighthearted anthology like 'Globular Van der Graff's Goblin Tales for Adults,' no matter how friendly I made them.
And yet for some reason, they are willing to read about a rebellious young archaeologist out to save the world before the deadline to destruction for the Earth and the entire Solar System of December 21st, 2012 in my book 'The Seventh Age', which is selling well. Who knew it would take off – certainly not me.
If as a new writer, one of your books gets taken up by an established publishing house, more power to your pen. That's not for me – never was. With the changes, some would say more an unnecessary upheaval, going on within the publishing industry; at least the ebook versions of our work are always available via the internet, therefore in the public eye, unlike their physical cousins who have a short shelf life in the bookshops of this world before they are remaindered and sadly forgotten.
But all this still doesn't answer my question – which market should I write for? Want my advice? Change your approach and simply write what you would love to read. Chances are if you love it, others will too – eventually.
