WASHINGTON, D.C. – National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Thomas D’Agostino today welcomed Anne M. Harrington as the new NNSA Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation. Ms. Harrington will manage NNSA’s $2.7 billion nuclear nonproliferation program, in more than 100 countries to secure vulnerable nuclear material around the world, stop nuclear smuggling, and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
“Anne Harrington brings more than two decades of nonproliferation and threat reduction experience to this position and is the perfect choice to lead the world’s largest nonproliferation program,” said Administrator D’Agostino. “Her experience in government, non-profit and private sectors both domestically and internationally are tremendous assets in helping to implement the unprecedented nuclear security agenda President Obama outlined in his 2009 speech in Prague.”
Ms. Harrington most recently served as Director of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control from 2005 to 2010.

Blood Drive Sign outside the Town Hall
On October 19, 2010 the Long Lake Town Hall on Route 30 in Long Lake, NY was the site of the Red Cross Blood Drive sponsored by the Town of Long Lake and Long Lake Central School. Twenty seven were pre-registered, twelve walked in and forty-four donations were made. Students from Long Lake Central School including Jessica Pitcher, Eve Tobey and Melissa Clark volunteered their time after school at the Long Lake Town Office to rustle up donors. A partnership between the town and school has become an important component to the success of student community service and Melissa, Eve and Jessica were a huge asset.
Patty Farrell entertained donors at the snack table, Anna Pratt registered all appointments, Cindy Black commanded the coffee and seven nurses were on hand counseling. Many generous Long Laker’s baked cookies and made treats for the donors.
The goal was for forty pints and eight DRC donations.

An Adirondack Affair on Oct 1,2 took fans of the soap opera genre behind the scenes. A panel discussion on Friday night tore apart the realities of the future of soaps and what could have prevented the downsizing of the industry. Panelists listed everything from the OJ Simpson trial as the first death knell to the internet and shrinking budgets and lack of corporate vision.
Saturday workshops included writing. Participants learned about the process of how a daytime drama script is conceived and written in a short window of time and 250 episodes of material have to scribed a year. Acting workshops saw Yvonne Perry ex-Rosanna from As The World Turns work scenes with aspiring actresses.
Martha Byrne worked on the 2nd workshop session and her students ran scenes with her from As The World Turns and All My Children. The classes were so small, each student really had an opportunity to work up close with our actresses.

(excerpt from the Times Union)
LONG LAKE — When Alexandra Verner Roalsvig was a child of 8 in this Adirondack town, her family’s television got two stations, and they were both CBS affiliates. So she grew up watching “As the World Turns.”
Now, as director of tourism in Long Lake (population 850 year-round, 6,000-8,000 summers), she has organized a two-day event this weekend called “An Adirondack Affair.” A panel discussion tonight will address the question: What happened to our shows?
“Our shows” are soap operas, specifically “As the World Turns,” where Roalsvig worked for 17 years as production assistant before moving last year back to Long Lake, 130 miles north of Albany. She has invited five former colleagues — a writer, director and three “As the World Turns” actresses (two-time Emmy-award-winning Martha Byrne, Ellen Dolan and Yvonne Perry, who lives in the Capital Region) — to participate in a panel discussion, acting and writing workshops, and a cabaret performance. (See box.)
