Chip Kidd to speak at Farmingdale State College Farmingdale State College, 2350 Broad Hollow Rd., Farmingdale, invites the public to attend a free lecture by award-winning graphic designer Chip Kidd on March 10 in Gleeson Hall, Room 104, from 3:05 to 4:20 p.m. Kidd will discuss his graphic art and design, comics, and book jacket work. Kidd is the associate art director at Knopf, where he designs, on average, about 75 book jackets a year. USA Today has called him “the closest thing to a rock star in graphic design today,” while Publishers Weekly has said that Kidd’s “creepy, striking, sly, smart, unpredictable covers make readers appreciate books as objects of art as well as literature.” His design for Michael Crichton’s “Jurassic Park” novel was carried over into marketing for the film adaptation. Kidd, on the other hand, strongly dismisses the idea that book jackets sell books. “I’m very much against the idea

that the cover will sell the book. It’s about whether the book itself really connects with the public, and the cover is only a small part of that,” he said. Kidd has had tremendous influence on modern graphic design, working for Pantheon Books and freelancing for Amazon, Doubleday, HarperCollins, Penguin/Putnam and Farrar Straus & Giroux. He has also written and designed book covers for DC Comics and is the author of “The Cheese Monkeys” — a novel about his experiences as a design student at Penn State — and “The Learners.” A reception for the artist will follow in Hale Hall from 5 to 7 p.m. In addition, many of Kidd’s works will be on display in the Memorial Gallery in Hale Hall through April 17. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. For more information, call 631420-2000.

KNOWLEDGE

SB’s Zhang studies drop in rainfall in northern tropics

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

In winters like this one, most people focus on the weather for the day or week. That’s not the case for Minghua Zhang, who is much less concerned about whether to buy more salt for the next snowstorm than he is about global changes in the weather over the last 100 years. The dean of the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University, Zhang studies weather around the globe, exploring changes in temperature, precipitation, clouds, convection and atmospheric and oceanic circulations. Working with a team of scientists from Britain, Switzerland and Germany, Zhang recently discovered that the industrial revolution has had severe consequences in the northern tropics in the Atlantic. Zhang, who worked with graduate student Tingyin Xiao on the study, said precipitation

in that area decreased by 10 percent in the last 100 years. This decrease could have implications for farming in Central America, experts said. “These findings may help to reveal shifts in seasonal rainfall in Central America, which is critical for agriculture in the area and may, therefore, have potential impacts on agricultural and environmental policies in the region,” wrote Provost Dennis Assanis in response to emailed questions. Zhang said sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere moderated temperatures in the northern hemisphere by reflecting radiation from the sun. This shifted the intertropical convergence zone, which is a tropical rainfall belt near the equator, toward the southern hemisphere. Led by Harriet Ridley from the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University in the United Kingdom, the scientists published their work in the

journal Nature Geoscience. Zhang addressed the challenge of predicting or understanding global patterns even as computer models, which are at the center of predicting and understanding weather, raised alarms in New York City for a record-breaking blizzard that never came. “The fluid system is chaotic,” he suggested, “which prevents a deterministic prediction with long lead time.” The predictive ability of the model for approaching storms are limited by the computing power to resolve key processes, the lack of understanding of turbulence and condensed water processes, such as ice crystal aggregation and the lack of sufficient data in remote areas, such as over the ocean. “In the short term, the weather is chaotic and there is a limit” to how well these models predict the movement of approaching storms, he said. More broadly, Zhang, whose research contributed to the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 headlined by former Vice President Al Gore, said his research goal is to improve global climate models. “We have uncertainties in the models, especially those related to clouds,” Zhang said. Indeed, despite advances in technology, computers are still not powerful enough to resolve large cloud systems, he said.

The current fastest computer in the United States can do about 27,000 trillion calculations per second, he said, which is the equivalent of the speed of about one million desktop PCs. That only resolves the climate in units that are about 25 kilometers apart. Zhang said the scientific understanding of liquid clouds is much better than before, but the knowledge of ice clouds in a turbulent environment is “still not sufficient.” When he’s not conducting research, Zhang oversees a school that has 120 faculty and staff, with about 150 graduate students and 350 undergraduates. While the Ph.D. program is ranked sixth in the category of marine and atmospheric sciences by the National Research Council, Zhang wants to continue to move up the ladder. He also wants to improve the teaching at Stony Brook and has put the syllabus for all the courses on the website and urges all faculty to be involved in advising undergraduate students. Zhang has established a faculty mentoring program that allows junior faculty to receive tips from senior faculty. Zhang “has helped to grow the school” of faculty that are “working together to better understand how our marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric en-

’These findings may help to reveal shifts in seasonal rainfall in Central America, which is critical for agriculture in the area ...’ — PROVOST DENNIS ASSANIS

vironments function and are related to one another,” Assanis explained in an email. “The current expertise [at the school] places them in the forefront in addressing and answering questions about immediate regional problems, as well as long-term problems relating to the global oceans and atmosphere.” Zhang and his wife Ying live in East Setauket, where they raised their daughters Grace, who is studying art at Brown University, and Harley, who works for the Singapore branch of a consulting firm based in New York. Born and raised in China, Zhang said that, in his rare free time, he enjoys visiting the beaches through all the seasons. As for his work, Zhang fi nds his role as the dean of the school and as a researcher rewarding. In his research, he focuses on “improving the mathematical formulas that go into the models.”

• A performance-based funding scheme that pits campuses against each other for funding and curtails access for high-needs and under-resourced students.

My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels. This was accomplished in a little over 3 months. Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months. In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future. —D.L., age 64

“My pain has subsided considerably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/ IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

The skinny on fats look at the forest, not just the trees

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

To eat fat or to not eat fat is a question that has been dogging the medical community for years. It would seem, at least on the surface, that this should be a simple answer, and it is. Of course, we should eat fat. However, what type of fat is good for us and what type of fat may be detrimental is where it gets downright murky. Is low fat beneficial, or is a normal fat or even a high fat amount okay in our diet? We are constantly discussing fats because they could have an impact on chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and obesity (1). The problem is that we are focusing potentially on the wrong issue. It may not be about choosing one macronutrient over another. There are three macronutrients: fats, carbohydrates and protein. You would think with just three macronutrients there can’t be that many permutations to find a diet that works. The upshot is that it may be more important to focus on the diet as a whole rather than on the individual macronutrients. Unfortunately, there is no one specific balance that will fit the population at large. The reason for writing this article is twofold: There is a recent study touting that fat consumption is not an issue; and there are potential new dietary guidelines on the horizon from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture as a result of advisory committee recommendations. The government usually follows the recommendations of the advisory committee. The advisory committee has suggested lifting the current dietary recommendation of 35 percent fat restriction (2). Does this mean we should eat more fat? Not necessarily. However, they have maintained that saturated fat remain less than 10 percent of the diet. This is not as severe as the American Heart Association, which recommends limiting saturated fat to 5 to 6 percent of your diet. Another significant advisory panel recommendation is that the 300-mg cholesterol restriction be removed. The advisory panel emphasized

the importance of consuming unsaturated fats including nuts, fish, olive oil and vegetable oils. It is difficult to cut fat. Do you replace it with protein or with carbohydrates? Food manufacturers have been replacing fat with sugar in processed foods. I know because when fat-free cookies were popular in the 1990s, my wife and I felt guiltless eating them all, although we were overwhelmed by the sugar. The government is now more interested in reducing sugar than fats. We overconsume sugars by at least twofold. The advisory committee was in line with my comments above about focusing on the whole rather than looking at the parts. We cannot see the forest for the trees. Let’s cut through the fat and look at the research, metaphorically speaking of course. SHOULD WE LIMIT FAT AND SATURATED FAT? This is a loaded question. In a recent meta-analysis involving a group of six randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of studies, results showed that there were no statistically significant changes in the treatment groups (which one would think would be a “low fat” group) and control groups in regard to overall mortality and heart disease (3). The actual trials were performed from 1977 to 1983. The intent of the meta-analysis was to determine whether or not the original recommendations regarding fat and saturated fat restrictions were based on solid results. The researchers concluded that they were not. Interestingly, five of six trials did not actually look at limiting overall fat to less than 30 percent or at reducing saturated fat to less than 10 percent. Instead, the trials replaced saturated fat with vegetable oils, which are high in polyunsaturated fats, specifically omega-6s. What is the significance of omega-6s? Keep reading! ULTIMATELY, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IF FAT IS NOT THE ISSUE? There are two questions that stem from either reducing fat overall or replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats. The first is: With what are you replacing the fat? The second is: Are all polyunsaturated fats safe or harmful, compared to saturated fats? Studying saturated fats is complicated because studies that show equivocal nonharmful results with these types of fats also contained unsaturated omega-3s as well (4). Even if saturated fat has shown no harmful effects, it has not demonstrated beneficial effects either.

REPLACING FATS WITH CARBOHYDRATES We had this long-standing belief that fats were the culprit in obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. However, studies have shown that replacing fats with carbohydrates has resulted in an increase in obesity and diabetes, rather than a decrease. In

stock photo

Salmon and other fatty fish such as sardines and mackerel are the superstars of hearthealthy foods.

an epidemiologic study, results show that refined carbohydrates, specifically corn syrup, increase the risk of diabetes, while fiber decreased the risk. Fat and protein had no effect (5). In other words, reducing fat may not be the best idea, depending on whether you’re replacing that fat with refined carbohydrates or not. NOT ALL POLYUNSATURATED FATS ARE EQUAL Certain types of fat may be more beneficial than others. A study comparing polyunsaturated fats, which include omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids, and their replacement of trans fats and saturated fats showed mixed results (6). Diets that contained both omega-3s and omega6s had reductions in the risk of heart attack and heart disease death when compared to those containing omega-6s alone, which appeared to increase the risk of heart disease mortality. Certain vegetable oils contain high amounts of omega-6s such as safflower oil. In the Sydney Diet Heart Study, there was a trend toward increased cardiovascular disease when replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids referred to as linoleic acid (7). Both of these trials were not without their statistical weaknesses. However, caution should be advised when replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats; you should include an increase in omega-3 fatty acids and not necessarily an increase in omega-6s solely.

WHAT TYPE OF DIET IS BENEFICIAL?

Diets rich in heart-healthy foods are better than low-saturated-fat diets at reducing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels, a risk factor for heart disease, according to the results of a randomized controlled trial (8). Patients

were randomized into three groups: one low-saturated-fat group and two portfolio diet groups, one with intensive counseling and one with moderate counseling. The portfolio diet was a heart-healthy plant-rich diet consisting of viscous fibers (referred to as sticky fibers), nuts, plant sterols, vegetables and soy proteins. Both portfolio diet groups experienced significant reductions in LDL similar to that of an early type statin while the low-saturated-fat diet did not. The study duration was six months, and it involved over 350 participants. Thus, we need to focus on the diet as a whole, such as the Mediterranean diet, not on a single component, for that is when we get ourselves in trouble. Also, just because the fat is unsaturated does not mean it is necessarily healthy. Omega-3 fatty acids are most likely beneficial. Some vegetable oils are loaded with omega-6 fatty acids that induce inflammation and may be no better than saturated fats. It is important to maintain a reduction in saturated fat as long as it does not mean replacement with refined carbohydrates or potentially harmful omega-6s, though not all omega-6 fatty acids are created equal either.

What do low oil prices mean for investors? As you’ve no doubt noticed, your trips to the gas station have been a lot more pleasant these past several months. There’s not much doubt that low oil prices have been welcome to you as a driver. But when oil is cheap, is that good for you as an investor? There’s no clear-cut answer.

A wonderful evening of fun and laughter at Theatre Three By Stacy Santini

Imagine every thought you have ever had about relationships, marriage and the opposite sex coming alive with indelible humor and song and you may find yourself sitting at Theatre Three observing “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” over the next few weeks. Director Steve McCoy shamelessly brings this musical to life with a unique understanding and flair for comedic drama. An international sensation, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” premiered Off-Broadway at the Westside Theatre in 1996 and has made its way onto stages in London, China, Australia and Mexico City, to name just a few. It is not surprising that it has been translated into over 17 different languages, as the running themes throughout the production are universal, relatable and deliciously relevant. Instinctual insight served as the basis for the original book written by Joe DiPietro, who also carved out the lyrics. Teaming up with Jimmy Roberts composing the score, this delightful musical spectacle was born. Although the themes are consistent, the production itself is comprised of 16 small vignettes — each possessing its own storyline. Running the gamut from a married couple trying to find time to be intimate to a prisoner espousing the virtues of relationships to a bridesmaid who is always the bridesmaid, you will undoubtedly find yourself anticipating the next insightful snippet. McCoy matches DiPietro’s visionary technique with his version of “I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change.” It is apparent

from the opening song that McCoy has a keen understanding of the subject matter. It is that very intuitiveness that carries the appeal of the musical into its final rounds. An accomplished award winning performer himself, McCoy intercepts the talent of the four actors and molds his intent nicely to accommodate the messages surrounding each scene. Taking on the additional role of choreographer, the scope of his gifts are obvious. The challenge for the actors taking the stage is considerable as they essentially must play 16 roles. James D. Schultz shines once again and is simply dazzling

in every scene of which he is a part. As a company member of Theatre Three, he is a prolific actor with a substantial body of work and never disappoints. He most recently had a lead role in “Don’t Dress for Dinner” but has entertained our community in the past with performances in “Les Misérables,” “Crossing Delancey” and “A Christmas Carol.” A virtuoso in a sense, you will marvel at his ability to transition from murderer to preacher to cocky protagonist. Partnering with Schultz in “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” veteran Theatre Three actor Brett Chizever returns with a com-

parable performance. He is extraordinarily entertaining and compliments his fellow actors beautifully. Jenna Kavaler and Lisa Brodsky are enchanting as well. Brodsky’s voice is magnetic and brings sentiment as well as humor to her performance, especially when singing her rendition of the song “Always a Bridesmaid.” Kavaler is endearingly relatable as she portrays a jilted woman making a Match. com video. McCoy’s aptitude for cast selection is palpable with this ensemble. The set is simple and sparse but appealing due to the skill of lighting designer, Robert Henderson Jr. The varying hues of color enhance rather than distract the easiness of the austere stage. And more than noteworthy are the melodies emanating from the orchestra under the musical direction of Jack Kohl. The music carries “I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change” and with Kohl at the helm, the lyrics sound even more delightful. With Mike Chiusano on bass and Jim Carroll on drums, the synergy among the trio is apparent — creating harmonious sound. Theatre Three’s clever rendition of “I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change” is an enjoyable, often hilarious take on the differences between men and women, how we think, what is expected and the roles we all play. It will definitely leave you smiling the next time you ask your partner to take out the garbage. Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson will present “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” through March 28. Tickets range from $15 to $30.

Discovering the artist inside, one paint stroke at a time North shore museum offers exciting new program By Rita J. Egan

The Whaling Museum and Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor has added a bit of color to its adult program lineup. This past November, the museum launched its very own Paint Nite, a gathering that provides participants an opportunity to learn how to paint in addition to a fun and relaxing night out. On Jan. 22, the first event of 2015, which included a step-by-step painting class, wine, cheese and other light refreshments, resulted in a variety of interpretations of an inviting wintry scene that included a snow-covered landscape as well as evergreen trees and snowflakes. Museum educator and instructor, Liz Fusco, said she likes to choose seasonal scenes for the gatherings that are easy to paint but at the same time include a background, middle ground and foreground so there is some depth. Paint Nites have been

growing in popularity, and the educator said for those who have never attended one, “They should expect a lot of fun. I do give a little bit of background on some painting terms and a little bit on mixing color, but then we want to concentrate on having a good time and creating something that they will take home and that they can be proud of.” Lucia Trowe returned for her second Paint Nite at the museum with friend Carol Brower, who had heard how wonderful everyone’s paintings were at the first event. Trowe said she told Brower when she and her friends saw the sample top photo by cynthia Grimm; above and below photos by rita egan picture of a water scene with a whale in top, participants of Paint nite show off their masterpieces; above, Ken Snyder and Lisa Page November, they thought it was impos- enjoy a fun night out; below, Jennifer Donatelli contemplates her next stroke. sible to recreate.

Planning a child-friendly garden By EllEn BarcEl

One of the joys of gardening is sharing it with the younger generation. I have many warm memories of my own childhood and “helping” my father in the garden. He’d pick ripe figs, wash them off with the hose and hand them to me to enjoy on warm summer days. “Remember,” he’d tell me, “break the fig open first before you bite in, just in case an ant has crawled inside.” Then there were the times we planted green beans and week after week, water and fertilize them, finally picking a bunch for my mother to cook for supper. Kohlrabi were eaten in the garden raw, peeled with my father’s pocket knife and washed off with the hose. Of course, the times I’d chase my grandmother with worms were fun for me. Not so much for my father and his mother. “Oh, Ellen, stop that,” she’d say with her slightly Czech-accented English. So, as you plan your next garden, either to share with your children or grandchildren, here are some ideas to take into consideration. * Make sure to show kids which plants are edible and which are not. This can be confusing for a child, so close supervision is needed, really close, especially with the little ones. Tomatoes are edible but not their leaves. Rhubarb stalks are edible but not the leaves, etc.

Introducing children early to plants and flowers will instill a lifelong love of gardening.

* A really cool, child-friendly tepee to play in can be created by forming an inverted cone with a grouping of wooden supports. Then plant scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) around the outside. Once they germinate, train the vines, which can grow up to 10 feet tall, up the supports. Don’t forget to leave an opening on one side for an entrance. Soon you’ll have a green tepee, first covered with bril-

liant red flowers and then as the summer progresses the beans themselves. The flower is a favorite with hummingbirds — note the flower’s elongated shape. The beans are edible. There are many recipes online for cooking the beans, including with bacon for a smoky taste. While the beans can be used in salads, soups and stews, some people just enjoy growing the vines for their beautiful red flowers. * Since fig trees are not really hardy on Long Island, consider growing one or two trees in a tub. Prune to keep them small enough to move into an unheated garage in winter and so that children can easily reach the ripe fruit to enjoy in the garden. * If you include roses in your childfriendly garden, consider making jelly with the kids using the petals. A really simple recipe includes rose petals, sugar, water and lemon juice. Remember to remove the white part of the rose petals as they can be bitter. How you preserve the jelly depends. If used right away, just put in a clean container and store in the fridge. If you plan to use them far into the future, use proper canning practices. The jelly will be the same color as the petals. So, red petals, red jelly, etc. Pick the most fragrant rose petals for the tastiest jelly. Also, use thornless roses if possible. That way trips and falls don’t result in scratches and tears. * A great plant for children to grow is the sunflower. Most will easily reach five or six feet tall. You can measure the plants, week by week, as they reach, and then exceed, the children’s height. At the end of the summer, harvest the sunflower seeds for snacks for the kids. * Children are more likely to eat veggies if they’ve grown them, themselves. So, grow tomatoes, beans, onions etc. planning with the kids how to prepare each when harvested. * Growing watermelons or cantaloupe is also fun for children. They can watch as the flowers turn into tiny melons, which then grow bigger and bigger. Then, come late summer, they can enjoy devouring the sweet treats.

From top to bottom, rose petal jelly will be the color of the flowers used; grow some pumpkins in the garden, then make pumpkin pie; measure the little ones against sunflower plants,ß which can grow to five or six feet tall.

*Potatoes enjoy the sandy soil of Long Island. So, cut a potato into sections, making sure there’s an eye in each section, then plant each. They’re really easy to grow here and you and the kids can make your own french fries after harvesting the potatoes. * A butterfly garden is a great one for kids. Plant annuals and perennials that attract butterflies and then enjoy both the flowers and the show as the colorful flyers are attracted to the area. Butterflies love butterfly bush flowers (Buddlea), butterfly weed (Aesclepias tuberosa), phlox, coreopsis, zinnias etc. * Blueberry bushes are another great plant for kids to enjoy. Once picked, the berries can be added to oatmeal, chicken salad or yogurt or eaten right out in the garden. * If you haven’t already, set up a compost pile and have the kids help you by adding peelings and other greenery to the pile and then using the compost to fertilize the plants.

Brianna Cea: Spreading awareness through leadership By Sue Wahlert

17-year-old Ward Melville senior Brianna Cea has always embraced the philosophy that girls can do anything, and from her accomplishments thus far it is evident that she is living proof of her beliefs. Since the age of 13 Cea has been a member of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corp, “a nationwide organization dedicated to helping American youth realize personal success and achievement through a nautically oriented training program.” In October she obtained the rank of chief petty officer, making her the only female on Long Island and in the Empire region of New York and New Jersey with this rank. Her division is based out of the Northport VA Center where she is responsible for approximately 60 cadets for whom she creates a plan of the month for all drills, supervises the division petty offiPhotos from Brianna Cea cers to carry out drill activities and plans and coordinates events with division Clockwise from top left, army National Guard Specialist Kristine trujillo, Naval Sea Cadets Brianna Cea and Kyle antonucci at an Operastaff.

The snowy day

By Gwyn, 4th grade Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, Port Jefferson A snowy night I could hear the cracking Ice dropping down the window. It was a cold night. I could see the frozen ice hanging. Seated on a rocking chair relaxing by drinking hot chocolate. It was dark outside covered in snow.

Winter Cold

By Liam, 4th grade Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, Port Jefferson In a cold winter night every one seemed to be in fright by snow fighting hard like a mad St. Bernard The next winter day a cold winter breeze makes you want to freeze and cover your knees and freeze after that breeze I got the flu ACHOO!!! I blew into a tissue when I was looking outside I saw my driveway plowed and my dad was proud I really hope that the snow will make an awesome slope and my sister will say nope! So I went sledding the snow felt like bedding it was so fun to have a happy winter.
