I’m beginning to despise Mother Nature. More specifically, I despise those weather forecasters, news anchors and so-called “reporters” who insist on inciting what amounts to mass hysteria every time a single snowflake or shower is detected on the horizon. Honestly, have we learned nothing from Hurricane Sandy? Back in October, there was plenty of advance warning, to be sure; but how many decided against taking precautionary measures based solely on past precedent? What’s that they say about the boy who cried wolf? Oh, eventually, he will be right…but no one will listen. Fast forward to my most favorite season of all – winter –
with all its blizzards and sleet and ice storms. You know, the season where one flake in the forecast calls for widespread panic. Let’s all run in droves to the stores to snap up every last shovel and snow-blower – “just in case.” Let’s stock up on milk and eggs because, after all, once the power goes out, what better necessities to have on hand? Oh, and let’s not forget to wait in line for gas once again – you know, for all that driving we’ll surely be doing in two feet of snow. Seriously people? Personally, I’m a big fan of waking up, looking out the window and assessing the situation for myself. And if the power goes out, well that’s a whole other ballgame. Then gone are those cozy dreams of being snowed in with nothing but a pile of DVDs and books to catch up on while you bake
cookies and make hot cocoa. Honestly, the last time I truly enjoyed a “snow day,” I was probably about eight years old. It’s a bit different when you need to shovel your way out and work for a living, isn’t it fellow adults? And doesn’t it always seem that the worst weather hits right when you have a million things to do? When you have all these grand plans to be productive and proactive and all that good stuff? So much for that. Best plan: pull the covers over your head, go back to sleep and enjoy the peace and quiet. No hysteria, no stockpile of milk and eggs, no need to skate all over the roads. No sense trying to fight what you can’t control. Trust me, there is no shovel that’s a match for Mother Nature.
The Long Island Polar Dip to benefit Camp Sunshine is set for Saturday, March 2nd at Crab Meadow Beach in Huntington. Participants will plunge into the frigid waters of Long Island Sound to raise money to help send more New York families to Camp Sunshine, a one-of-a-kind national retreat in Casco, Maine for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Every polar dip participant is encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges. The Long Island Polar Dip has partnered with CrowdRise, a popular online fundraising platform, to make it easier for the entire community to unite, support and fundraise for Camp Sunshine. To start raising funds, form or join a team, and donate online, visit h t t p : / / w w w. c r o w d r i s e . com/LongIslandPolarDip. For more information, call 207.655.3800. Organizers have set a goal to raise $20,000 – enough to send 10 New York families to Camp Sunshine (www. campsunshine.org). Plungers are encouraged to create a plunge team of four or more people, consisting of co-workers and classmates and from civic groups or places of worship. Each participant who raises at least $100 in pledges for Camp Sunshine will receive a coveted “I DID IT!� t-shirt. Crab Meadow Beach is located at the

end of Waterside Avenue in Huntington Township on Long Island’s North Shore. The area features a boardwalk, playground and restaurant. Registration will get underway at noon with the dip set for 2 p.m. “We’re so excited and gratified that Huntington Township has allowed us to relocate our plunge this year from storm-damaged Amityville,� said Michael Smith, Camp Sunshine’s Director of Special Events. “This polar dip on Long Island will raise funds for Camp Sunshine and help more families from that area take advantage of our services.� He added, “The reality of this event is that the discomfort our plungers feel for just a moment will never compare to what our families go through during the course of their child’s illness. It’s for the families and children that we plunge – we call it Freezin’ for a Reason.� Those unable or not willing to submerge in near-freezing water can still participate in the Chicken Dip. Chicken dippers are still required to raise the minimum of $100 to participate, but only need to get their feet wet – a perfect opportunity for some of Camp Sunshine’s children to take part, Smith said. Nestled alongside the shores of beautiful Sebago Lake in Casco, Maine, Camp Sunshine (www.campsunshine.org) offers children with lifethreatening illnesses and their families a place to
relax together for a week and to take a break from the extraordinary demands placed on them on a daily basis. The year-round program is free of charge and staffed almost entirely by volunteers. It is the only program in the nation whose mission is to address the impact of a life-threatening illness on every member of the immediate family Since the opening of the Camp’s year-round campus in 2001, more ill children and their families have come from New York than any other state in the nation. In 2012, 152 families from New York, many from Long Island, attended the Camp. Even with multiple sessions being added annually at Camp Sunshine, there are still many more children from New York being newly diagnosed each year, Smith said. Camp Sunshine’s program continues to be recommended by the following New York treatment centers: Mount Sinai Medical Center, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Schneider’s Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York University Medical Center, Brooklyn Hospital Center, Westchester Medical Center, Stony Brook Medical Center, and numerous others.

(NAPSI)—Preparing for retirement can be a challenging process— and emerging trends are not helping matters. Fortunately, developing a retirement plan can help. That’s the word from experts who say changes in employee benefits, longer life spans, uncertainty with Social Security and Medicare and the rising cost of health care have made funding retirement
more difficult. With most of the responsibilities for financial aspects of retirement now falling squarely on the shoulders of individuals, the key, according to Insured Retirement Institute President and CEO Cathy Weatherford, is to have a comprehensive plan that addresses both retirement income and expensesincluding health care.
National Retirement Planning Week was created to remind consumers of the importance of having a plan for funding their retirement. For those needing help, a professional financial advisor can assist when creating a road map toward attaining financial security. To learn more, visit www. retireonyourterms.org.

ANOTHER N SUGGESTIOUR FROM O R READE SURVEY!
A New Approach One of the latest approaches to managing cholesterol involves taking a nutritional supplement. One such supplement, called Sytrinol, is described as a safe, effective cholesteroland triglyceride-lowering nutrient that is designed to begin working in 30 days. The supplement is made up of a blend of powerful antioxidants including polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) and a range of palm (alpha, delta and gamma) tocotrienols. According to a published clinical study, Sytrinol was able to significantly lower total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. The formula is also said to increase HDL levels. This is often referred to as the “good cholesterol” because of the way it transports LDL
cholesterol away from the heart and back into the bloodstream. Heart-Healthy Ingredients One of the main active ingredients in Sytrinol is a group of compounds derived from the peels of citrus fruits. The two most common are tangeretin and nobiletin, which are described as extremely potent bioflavonoids. Another ingredient is a group of palm tocotrienols, which are members of the vitamin E family and are extracted from the fruit of the palm tree. Like vitamin E, palm tocotrienols control antiinflammatory responses and degrade a key enzyme used by the liver to produce cholesterol. Concrete Concrete was invented by the Ancient Romans.

There’s good news for those concerned about cholesterol and their health. They may have a new way to regulate their cholesterol level that doesn’t involve prescription drugs. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It is used to make many of our hormones, vitamin D and bile acids, which aid fat digestion and keep cell membranes intact. How much you have is based on a combination of genetics and lifestyle. However, too much LDL cholesterol—often referred to as “bad cholesterol”—can slowly build and contribute to heart disease and clogged arteries. Some will try to manage their cholesterol with diet and exercise while others will turn to prescription medications.

As an organizational family, we take comfort in knowing our efforts bring us a step closer to a better future.” The Red Cross blood
drive will take place in the Lower Box Office of the Coliseum. Walk-ins are always welcome, but donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance by calling 1.800.RED.CROSS (1.800.733.2767) or by visiting redcrossblood. org. All presenting donors will also receive a voucher for one free entrée from Moe’s Southwest Grill and have the opportunity to enter to win many great prizes including a luxury suite for ten people at the Saturday, March 9th Islanders game, a catered lunch for 20 from Moe’s Southwest Grill and a Hockey Getaway Package which includes two Islanders game tickets to the March 22nd game, a “High Five” opportunity as players come onto the ice, overnight accommodations and breakfast at the Long Island Marriott.*

Before the puck drops on Saturday, February 16th the New York Islanders Hockey Club and the American Red Cross will, for its third year, partner for a blood drive to continue their lifesaving commitment. The blood drive will take place at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. As a special thank you for helping their neighbors, all presenting donors will receive a voucher for two tickets to a 20122013 Islanders regular season home game.* This marks the first of four blood drives the two organizations will host this year. Local donors are needed all year round to ensure the blood supply stays strong. Blood is an essential component for patient care in area hospitals, and the only source of blood is a

Commitment To Saving Lives
The inaugural cohort of SJB’s scientific research program, known as GENESIS, welcomed a guest speaker earlier this school year. In December, students in the GENESIS program were offered an opportunity to gain perspective on the process of conducting Doctoral level research during a roundtable discussion with Kara Hanson Micucci, a Doctoral candidate in the field of psychology at Fordham University. Mrs. Micucci is currently studying the impact of a Catholic school setting on student self-efficacy. The SJB GENESIS
students were able to draw on the lessons they have learned through the program to ask questions about topics such as dependent and independent variables, internal review boards and the process of selecting topics to research. Dave Erlanger, the Director of the GENESIS program said that “it was a great experience for our students to learn about the process from a Doctoral candidate actively engaged in the research process”. The GENESIS students are currently learning the basics of research and working on creating
thorough literature reviews in anticipation of starting their own projects next year. Mrs. Micucci proclaimed “it was a pleasure to present to the students in the Genesis program. The students generated several thought-provoking questions about the research presented, shared information about their acquired knowledge, and asked questions about different college programs. They were a wonderful audience, and I truly enjoyed my time at St. John the Baptist!”
(NAPSI)-Doing a little homework before you travel could save you time at the airport. For instance, visiting www.TSA.gov, the Transportation Security Administration’s Web site, can help you learn what
items can be packed in carry-on and which are best left in checked suitcases. You can also learn size requirements for toiletries that are allowed on planes and then find properly sized items in stores. As a final tip, remember
that all carry-on gels, liquids and aerosols need to be placed in a 1-quart, single zip-top, clear plastic bag. For more information and tips, visit www.shave. com.

Churchill Scholar
Stony Brook University senior, Kevin Sackel, an Honors College student double-majoring in Mathematics & Physics with a minor in Music, has been selected as a Churchill Scholar by the Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States to study at the University of Cambridge where he will spend the 2013-2014 academic year pursuing a one-year Master of Advanced Study degree in Mathematics. This prestigious award is given each year to select students that demonstrate exceptional academic talent, outstanding achievement and a capacity to contribute to the advancement of academic knowledge in their respective field. Of this year’s 14 Churchill Scholarship recipients, Sackel is the only student selected from a New York college or university. He will receive full tuition and college fees, a living allowance and a stipend for travel expenses. “We are all extremely proud of Kevin for achieving such a high honor, and as such he honors Stony Brook,” said Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD, President of Stony Brook University. “We have celebrated three Stony Brook educated Churchill Scholars in recent years, all of whom are brilliant. Kevin is the first to be awarded this prestigious scholarship in the tremendously competitive Cambridge Department of Pure Mathematics. That he has accomplished this underlines his prowess as well as that of our Math Department. I could not be more impressed.” “Through hard work and dedication, Kevin Sackel has clearly earned what is one of the most competitive and prestigious academic opportunities in the nation,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “As a Churchill Scholar, we are confident that he will represent New York and SUNY with distinction as he continues his studies alongside some of the world’s best and brightest young minds. Congratulations to Kevin and the entire Stony Brook community.” “I am extremely honored to have been selected as a Churchill Scholar,” Sackel said. “My experience at Stony Brook University has been wonderful and I thank all of those who have supported me throughout my academic career and during the application process for this award. I am really looking forward to my experience in the Department of Pure Mathematics at Cambridge; I think it will be great fun.” Under the direction of Stony Brook Math Professor Christopher Bishop, himself a Churchill Scholar (1982-1983), Sackel is working on his undergraduate thesis involving questions of mathematical analysis. Professor Bishop fully supported Sackel’s application
and noted that he “is the best candidate for a Churchill Scholarship I have ever seen, or expect to see.” Sackel has maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point average at Stony Brook University. Sackel also conducted independent research involving algebraic structures under the direction of Professor Martin Rocek of the Institute for Theoretical Physics. Additional faculty sponsors supporting Kevin’s application include Professors Moira Chas and Dennis Sullivan in the Department of Mathematics. Professor Chas praises Sackel’s “fantastic mind” and ranks him as “the best student I have met in my more than 20 years of teaching.” Professor Sullivan, the winner of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics (2010), in detail relates his “astonishment” at Sackel’s problem-solving abilities and describes his unique personal qualities as “very rare.”
“I am deeply impressed by Kevin’s intelligence, commitment, humility and concern for others,” said Dr. Charles Robbins, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Stony Brook University. “While it is unusual to meet a student with any one of these characteristics, to encounter someone who demonstrates them all on virtually a daily basis is indeed very special. Kevin is that special individual. There is no doubt in my mind that he will make the Churchill Scholarship program, Cambridge University and Stony Brook University very proud.” In his freshman year at Stony Brook, Sackel reinvigorated the Math Club and now serves as its president. For the past four years he has represented the Mathematics Department in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition, an annual competition for undergraduate students that is considered by many to be the most prestigious university-level mathematics
examination in the world. He was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma Honors Societies as a junior and plays the oboe for the University Orchestra. He is a recipient of the Undergraduate Recognition Award for Academic Excellence and is a member of the computer programming team. Other honors include winning the Freshman Math Department Award; the Stony Brook Foundation Award for Excellence in Mathematics as a sophomore; and the Kugh-Sah Memorial Award in Mathematics as a junior. He regularly challenges himself with graduate level courses and in his spare time audits courses that spark his interest. He also dishes out compliments and hugs to people in front of the Student Activities Center every Monday to brighten their day. After finishing his PhD in Mathematics, Sackel hopes to enter the academic world. “Professorship appears to be the ideal job, since it would keep me strongly tied to the mathematical world through research while also allowing me to share my love of mathematics through teaching,” he said. Kevin is the fourth student from Stony Brook to be honored as a Churchill Scholar and one of only three Churchill Scholars named this year to be graduating from a public university. Previous Churchill Scholar recipients from Stony Brook University include Rita Kalra (2005-2006), Diana David (2004-2005) and Belvin Gong (1999-2000). Stony Brook University currently has three Churchill Scholars on faculty; these include Professor Bishop, Jessica Seeliger, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacological Sciences; and Eugene Katz, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Molecular Genetics & Biology. The Winston Churchill Foundation was established in 1959, the same year that Churchill College at the University of Cambridge was established as the national and Commonwealth tribute to Sir Winston Churchill. The first Churchill Scholarships, three in number, were made in 1963, and with this new group there will be 479 Churchill Scholars. The Churchill Scholarship pays all University and College fees (ranging from $33,500 to $37,600), a living allowance (ranging from $17,700 to $21,000), transportation to and from the United Kingdom (up to $1,100), student visa expenses ($450), a Travel Award of $500, and a possible Special Research Grant up to $2,000. Depending on the field of study, the Churchill Scholarship is worth from $52,800 to $62,600 (depending on the rate of exchange).

Team Tackles Victory
Animal Science With dogs cute as a button, and a few larger than life, the Canine Careers class invited Paul Webber’s special education students to visit. There were happy faces with a lot of petting and massaging going on, as Brookhaven Technical
Legislator Rob Calarco recently visited the Patchogue Medford FIRST Robotics Team 329 where the team was in the process of tackling, what one of their team advisors, Dean of Students Mr. Kevin Ray, called the most difficult challenge he has seen in his 13 years of supervising the club. This year’s challenge is called “Ultimate Ascent,” and tasks teams with building a robot that, in addition to shooting discs into slots stacked at varying heights on either end of a 27’ x 54’ field climb, must successfully climb up a hollow metallic pyramid. The more discs the robots successfully attain, and the longer and higher they can stand on the pyramid, the more points they score. The challenge was announced January 5th and the students have been spending endless hours since then planning and brainstorming on their robot since then. There are more than
four dozen FIRST Robotics Team 329 members, but Legislator Calarco spent the bulk of his tour with the students leading the intensive planning efforts behind this year’s robot. Junior Ricky Wecera explained that this is the first year the team is building the plans before building the robot – a major strategy change so difficult to execute only 100 out of the 2,700 competing teams are attempting it. “Ultimate Ascent” has presented new challenges to the Pat-Med Robotics squad and, as they explained to Legislator Calarco, they have responded with new approaches. For the first time ever, juniors Tim Oliveira, Justin Ferrari and Ricky Wecera are using a sophisticated computer program that allows them to test potential mechanical parts of the robot in the actual dimensions and materials before assembly. For example, if they want to see how a specific type of arm will operate, they
can use the program to install it virtually instead of spending hours in the workshop. Legislator Calarco said, “I was incredibly impressed by what the students are doing. This is exactly why it is so important to support STEM programs. If we can get kids interested in these types of activities now, they may choose to study STEM subjects in college and eventually pursue careers in engineering and science. I am excited for my next visit to see the completed robot; I cannot wait to see what the team will have accomplished. As part of his ongoing efforts to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) youth programs, Legislator Calarco is returning to the FIRST Robotics Team 329 on February 15th to see the finished robot, and will be accompanying the team to their competition at Hofstra University on April 5th.
