(FOX 11) There was lots of emotion in Duarte this morning as two Leukemia patients and their families met the generous strangers who saved their lives at the City of Hope's annual Celebration of Life Bone Marrow Reunion.
Among the highlights of the celebration: the moment 8-year-old cancer survivor Ryan Compton got to meet the 34-year-old Englishman, Barry Crackett, whose bone marrow saved his life
Ryan, who's battled cancer since he was two, was too shy to speak so his dad Jason, an LAPD officer, did the talking for him.
"We can't thank him enough," said Compton.
Crackett signed up for the Bone Marrow Registry in London 11 years ago -- three years before Ryan was even born.
Also meeting for the first time: 63-year-old Joseph Mandel of Woodland Hills, and his 25-year-old donor Nevo Segal.
Mandel, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, is the son of Holocuast survivors. Segal was serving as a soldier in the Israeli Defense Force when he learned he was a match for this, then far away, stranger.
Roughly 1200 Cancer survivors and their families turned out for today's Celebration of Life. To find out how you can join the Bone Marrow Registry go to www.marrow.org.

DALLAS (AP) - The former controller of the famed Collin Street Bakery chain appears in federal court to face allegations of embezzling nearly $17 million from the company.
Sandy Jenkins was indicted last week on 10 mail fraud counts. His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in federal court in Dallas.
Court documents say Jenkins managed a scheme to defraud the Corsicana-based bakery by writing almost 900 fraudulent checks from 2005 through this June. The indictment alleges he spent the money on luxury vehicles, a second home in Santa Fe, N.M., some 60 watches, about 600 bottles of wine, jewelry, and other items.
Bakery managers detected the fraudulent activity, confronted Jenkins and fired him. They reported their suspicions to Corsicana police, who reported the matter to the FBI.

BERLIN – Cyprus authorities detained Iran's foreign minister at the Larnaca
Airport because his name appeared on an EU sanctions list barring Iranians who
are involved in the country's nuclear program.
The Cyprus Mail daily
reported on Thursday that Ali Akbar Salehi was held up for a "few minutes" and
stayed in a VIP room at the airport.
The EU had previously placed Salehi

According to the Cyprus Mail, "[Cyprus's] Justice Minister

Louca said this was due to a "miscommunication" between the

According to the paper, "The incident or

Student Success Stories - Scott Eaton
Creating SeaChange
Scott Eaton, cofounder and director of science and research, SeaChange Group, a Maine-based technology start-up founded in 2009 to develop low-emissions fuels for the heavy shipping and power generation industries.
Where did you grow up?
Gardiner, Maine
Where do you live now?
Hampden, Maine
What degree(s) do you have from UMaine and other places? What degree are you pursuing now?
B.S. in mechanical engineering, University of Maine
M.S. in mechanical engineering, University of Tennessee – Knoxville
Ph.D. in chemical engineering, University of Maine
What has your career path been like in the years following college?
My career path has been smooth, but not necessarily linear. After leaving UMaine in 2004, I studied the catalytic reduction of diesel exhaust emissions at Tennessee. In 2006, I became a research associate at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn., where I worked with Bruce Bunting in the Fuels, Engines and Emissions Research Center. I was involved with the development and testing of alternative fuels in advanced combustion engine platforms. This work was highly enjoyable as I was fulfilling a national need for cleaner, more efficient transportation, while constantly learning and improving the state-of-the-art in emissions reduction technology. In 2009, my family decided to move back to Maine and I took a job as a laboratory engineer at Maine Maritime Academy. I became deeply interested in the maritime industry and particularly how one of the oldest industries can evolve under the modern pressures of global economies and environmental concerns in light of the rising cost of energy. In collaboration with other faculty at the Maine Maritime Academy and entrepreneurs from across the state, we founded SeaChange Group to address these issues. I currently serve as the company's director of science and research.
How did SeaChange come together? What are the company's goals?
SeaChange Group is a Maine-based technology start-up founded in 2009 to develop low-emissions fuels for the heavy shipping and power generation industries. The company was started by six of us as co-founders. We are spread across the state, from Caribou to Cape Elizabeth. Currently, our headquarters is in Cape Elizabeth and our research facility is in Bucksport. This allows for close collaboration with the University of Maine and Maine Maritime Academy. The company was formed around the idea that there is no such thing as waste. With the rise of energy costs and stringent environmental regulation impacting the shipping industry, the market is demanding alternative energy options. SeaChange Group is trying to fill this need by utilizing waste energy products and formulating them into cost-effective, emissions-compliant fuels to serve that broad-based industry. We have raised more than $240,000 from the National Science Foundation, Maine Technology Institute and private industry to fund activity in this area, and have developed an initial patented fuel product. Our intention is to focus on the development and production of this product and distribute it in late 2012 to those niche players most affected by environmental regulations. We hope to expand into servicing a wider market share as regulations roll out and become more stringent. We also plan to research and support the development and commercialization of other new low-emissions fuel products to keep pace with a rapidly evolving marketplace. Our goal is to achieve these objectives and maintain a strong Maine presence.
What led to your return to UMaine for a Ph.D.?
I decided to return to UMaine for a Ph.D. in chemical engineering because of the opportunities presented within the department and the great work being done in the labs of professors Clay Wheeler and Adriaan van Heiningen. I always knew I wanted to return to graduate education. Being in Maine and starting a new technology company provided the catalysts I needed to make re-entering the classroom a high-value proposition.
Why UMaine for college?
As a high school student, I didn't even know what an engineer was or what one was expected to do. I thank my high school teachers and administrators for pointing me in the direction of two summer programs on campus, the Pulp and Paper Foundation summer program (now Consider Engineering) and the Young Scholars Program. I participated in both in the summer of my junior year and I was hooked on UMaine and on engineering in general. Further college searching reinforced that UMaine was a fantastic value in science education.
What, if any, research initiatives were you involved in as an undergraduate?
I was exposed to many research opportunities as an undergraduate. My first research experience was with professor Vince Caccese on an Office of Naval Research-funded project to characterize the mechanical behavior of structure joints. I also had the opportunity to work with professor Mick Peterson to provide proof-of-concept design and prototyping for a marine fuel overflow prevention device for Sebek Technologies Inc. Each of these experiences greatly enhanced my understanding and application of engineering concepts.
Do you have any favorite professors or classes, and what lessons did you take from the professor or class that resonate today?
There are so many people who influenced my life and career at UMaine. I will always recall George Bernhardt's physics lectures because he always had a way of making them entertaining; professor Peterson for his relaxed-yet-rigorous approach that motivated inventiveness in me; professor Mike Boyle for his always positive demeanor (and, yes, Fridays were always happy); and professor Steven Kimball for his fun and giving nature during mathematics group meeting. Looking back, what I learned from these professors was that attitude is important. The way you present yourself, respond to people and respond to your work dramatically impacts the quality you get out of yourself and others around you.
Were there any classes you took that almost did you in? Is there a lesson to be learned from your experience?
Calculus I, by far. It was my freshman year and it was the first time I was really challenged in the classroom. The class became my mountain while at UMaine. After having to drop out the first semester, failing the second and receiving a D the third, I recall thinking that I would never understand the subject. It was on the fourth attempt that the light bulb finally went off in my head about what it meant to study mathematics and what the concepts were preparing me for. Interestingly, that class also inspired me and I fell in love with mathematics. I've received an A in just about every math class since, even earning a minor in mathematics and being inducted into Pi Mu Epsilon (the mathematics honor society) and serving as treasurer for two semesters. This experience reinforces that persistence pays off and college is as much about learning how to learn as it is what you learn.
Most memorable moment at UMaine?
Not sure I can talk about the most memorable here, but I do recall cold nights walking down to the Alfond Arena for hockey games (Go Black Bears), late nights studying in the Oxford Hall study lounges and ordering countless pizzas from Pat's Pizza, still a favorite of mine.
Favorite places or spots on campus?
The library coffee shop. I must have spent at least half of every day there. The old Bear's Den in the basement of the Union. I spent many late nights in the S3 lounge in Oxford Hall. Crosby Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
How did your studies at UMaine prepare you for your career?
I am very proud of the undergraduate education I received from UMaine. Having spent time at other institutions, I appreciate the quality of education I received and I relate this directly back to the great faculty. The size of the engineering program was also very important. A good education requires access to both faculty and state-of-the-art research tools. Faculty members were always engaging and encouraged one-on-one time during office hours or after class. The program was large enough, though, to offer students exposure to equipment and resources that made it as competitive as anywhere in the nation. This combination is rather unique and made for a very strong program that prepared me well for both graduate education and a career.

EDISON, N.J. – Jacksonville University's men's Varsity Four brought home a silver medal from last weekend's regatta and continue to earn accolades for the program today as they were announced as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's Boat of the Week.
For the eighth consecutive year, JU's men's rowing program has won the Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships. In a second-place finish, the Varsity Four boat finished not even a full second behind Georgia Tech at 6:44.7. The Dolphins beat out Rollins by 3.6 seconds and had a ten or more second advantage over Florida, FSU, FIT and USF. The boat consisted of Alex Tate (coxswain), Brian Cosmillo, Chase Rowe, Scott Del Vecchio, and Scott Waitley.
Next up, Jacksonville competes in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships on April 18.


text: "We used it with "sailing" theme for our Christmas/New Year card. We had a picture of our family on a sailboat and after the "Joyful Tidings" caption, I added "and smooth sailing in 2013!" It is a very nice quality card and envelope and I loved the red and aqua colors. I edited our picture to change a few colors so that it tied together nicely - my husband happened to be wearing a red baseball cap and I changed the accents on my boys life vests to be red and aqua. We had many positive comments on our cards!"


text: La Roma was a waste of time and money. The day we took the tour it rained and of course they took us out in the rain. We left late and we returned early. On top of it, I got sick. I made a complaint and asked for a refund and they did not give me one. I was very upset because they didn't care. They never tried to resolve my issue. They could have given me a ship board credit. I've had issues on Princess before and they went out of their way to resolve it. Trinidad and Tobago, we took a scenic tour around the Island, not very exciting. We went to a beach, but were only there for a short time. Unable to swim. Was not a beach tour.

There are four study options at the Umbra Institute, which are detailed below. After reading, you may want to return to the Umbra Institute Program page, look at a list of available courses, or review course registration information.
The General Studies Program has two components: Italian language and culture courses and an array of elective courses taught in English. All students are required to take Italian language for four to six credits. Whether you have never taken an Italian course before or speak at an advanced level, you will have an opportunity to improve your language skills during your time in Italy. You will also select three or four elective courses from among the extensive list of Umbra Institute offerings for three or four semester credits each. You can enroll in a total of 14 to 18 semester credits.
Within the General Studies Program, you may also choose to study in the Food Studies Program, the Honors Program, or conduct independent research.
The Food Studies Program at the Umbra Institute is a curricular concentration within the General Studies Program that applies an interdisciplinary approach to the study of food – history, sociology, cultural studies, business practices, literature, politics, science, agriculture, and sustainability – to discover how the individual, the community, and society relate to food in Italy, America, and elsewhere. The program consists of three courses in food studies, a course in Italian language, and an optional elective (15-18 credits).
Each thematic course includes a series of co- and extra-curricular activities that are an integral part of the curriculum; they include guest lectures, site visits and hands-on experience. These activities will allow students to observe directly the concepts studied in the classroom and analyze issues surrounding Italian food culture from varied approaches and perspectives with emphasis on history, culture, production, sustainability, and business and industry. Students who complete all three food program courses will receive a certificate from the Umbra Institute documenting their participation and satisfactory completion of the Food Studies Program.
The Umbra Honors Program welcomes students with a desire to combine high academic standards, extensive study in the subject area, community engagement, and additional contact with instructors. Honors students further enhance their learning beyond the classroom by living with international or Italian students.
Honors students conduct original research in an area of their choice, working one-on-one with a faculty advisor. The research culminates into a traditional research paper or a creative project, approved by the faculty advisor. Prior to departure, students may also select a home institution faculty member who would approve the particular research topic and correspond with the student throughout the semester.
To qualify for the Honors Program, students must present a cumulative GPA of 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale) and a letter of reference from an instructor at their current home school.
The Independent Research option is designed to provide students with the opportunity to complete a significant research assignment in a topic of their choice as one component of their study abroad experience. Many colleges and universities require undergraduates to culminate their studies in a research paper or senior thesis. With this option, students can engage in independent research, using the experience as a platform for their thesis project at their home institution.
To qualify for the Independent Research option, students must present a cumulative GPA of at least 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale) and a letter of reference from an instructor at their current home school.
Students in the Direct Enrollment will experience the Italian university as a local at the University for Foreigners (Università per Stranieri) or the University of Perugia (Università degli Studi di Perugia). The Università per Stranieri is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of Italian language instruction in Italy, while the Università di Perugia is one of the oldest universities in the world. Students accepted into the Direct Enrollment Program should exhibit exceptional maturity, responsibility, openness, and a fervent interest in a challenging academic environment.
The same Umbra services (orientation, safety, cultural activities, and more) are available to Direct Enrollment students throughout the semester. Students in this program will live in shared apartments with other Italian or international students to help with language acquisition. The program calendar differs slightly from the other Umbra program options. There is no traditional fall or spring break, but students will enjoy holidays listed in the Italian calendar; please contact your Program Manager for details.
University for Foreigners (Università per Stranieri) - 16 semester creditsThe Direct Enrollment Program at the University for Foreigners offers the unique opportunity for students of all levels of language proficiency to focus exclusively on Italian language and culture. You will enroll at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia for a semester-long program, studying alongside with students from all over the world who share the goal to become fluent in Italian.
Students will take a placement exam during orientation to determine the sequence of courses they will take at the Università per Stranieri. Students will study Italian exclusively or enroll in courses covering various topics in Italian language, literature, art, history, and culture at the advanced levels. The program yields 16 semester credits and includes approximately 27 hours per week at the university coupled with weekly recitation classes with Umbra instructors. The instructors' role is to guide, assist, and assess students through their learning experience at the local university. They set weekly assignments and assess students' final grades in the program. Please visit this guide to see how these courses will appear on Arcadia transcripts according to proficiency level in which the students place.
University of Perugia (Università degli Studi di Perugia)This Direct Enrollment option offers students the unique opportunity to gain a truly immersive experience in Italian culture and in the European style of education. All students will begin the semester enrolled in an intensive Italian language course at the prestigious Università per Stranieri for one month prior to starting their two elective courses at the Università degli Studi di Perugia. This month is dedicated to improving language skills and introducing students to the European university setting. Italian language tutorials will be held weekly led by Umbra professors at the Umbra Institute. Fall students will attend the five-credit Language Review Program in September and spring students will attend in January.
Students will enroll in courses taught in the humanities division of the University for one semester or a full year. Students should have a minimum of four semesters of Italian language courses and have achieved a B2 or higher proficiency in Italian based on the Common European Framework to apply. For an overview, please contact the Umbra Institute at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Recent additions to CPAN
Healthy in Old Age
Many people have declared the granddaddy of scripting, Perl, to be dead. A look at new items in the CPAN software repository, however, shows that the community is still quite active.
To paraphrase Friedrich Nietzsche, and may I be forgiven for doing so, "When Zarathustra was alone, however, he spoke thus to his heart: Is it possible? This old saint has not yet heard in his forest that Perl is dead!"
No question: Perl as a programming language has lost some of its significance. Few youngsters today have enough patience to grapple with the admittedly whimsical peculiarities of what used to be the leading scripting language. For years, many users have been moving off in various directions. This does not seem to affect the will of diehard Perl hackers, however. Hardly a day goes by without 50 new module versions appearing on CPAN [1] (Figure 1).
This edition of my column accesses some of the most useful and entertaining modules I stumbled upon while reviewing what the Perl community has released in the past two weeks.

BURLINGTON — The Fletcher Allen Health Care Annual Fund Drive raised $3.9 million in fiscal year 2012, exceeding its goal by $100,000, a 24 percent increase over 2011.
Contributions to the Annual Fund support a variety of programs that provide direct benefits to patients and their families, including research into cancer, heart-rhythm abnormalities, children's services and psychiatric care.
"We are truly fortunate to be in a giving community that continues to support this organization and the patients and families we serve," said Dr. John Brumsted, president and CEO.
"We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given to Fletcher Allen. Their generosity makes it possible for us to provide the highest level of care every day."
Wound Center adds specialist to care team
SARANAC LAKE — A familiar face has returned to Adirondack Health with the addition of Lynn Sarr to the team at the Wound and Hyperbaric Treatment Center in Saranac Lake.
A longtime resident of Saranac Lake, Sarr is an adult nurse practitioner who has received additional special training in wound and ostomy care.
Her career in nursing began at the former Saranac Lake General Hospital, where she worked in many departments, mostly specializing in critical care.
Sahe will care for patients with non-healing wounds and those receiving hyperbaric treatment at the Wound Center, located off Old Lake Colby Road behind Adirondack Medical Center. For the past nine years, she has provided wound and ostomy care in an outpatient setting at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh.
ECH installs new CT scanner
ELIZABETHTOWN — Elizabethtown Community Hospital has installed a new CT scanner to enhance the level of service it offers.
The 64-slice Philips Ingenuity CT scanner, installed in early November, provides more detailed images quickly with less radiation exposure for patients.
CT, or computed tomography, combines X-rays and computers to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of internal structures of the body, helping physicians diagnose disease and assess traumatic injury.
According to Rob DeMuro, medical director at ECH, the new CT unit uses 40 to 80 percent less radiation, a feature that also supports the efforts of ECH to decrease the amount of patient exposure to radiation through CT scans.
"Physicians are becoming increasingly concerned about the risk of radiation overexposure and are carefully considering benefits and risks as they request CT scans," DeMuro said. "It's important to ensure that the CT scan is as safe as possible. This CT unit is one of the most technologically advanced on the market."
The unit can accommodate both larger patients and small children.

As a 7D user (and 40D before that), I have to agree with the people who've already cautioned against the 24-105. I'm sure it's an excellent lens, but the question is whether it would be a good focal length range for you on APS-C. For years I had a 24-70 2.8 (Sigma in my case) because I thought I'd move to a 35mm sensor camera "one day". I was pretty happy with the IQ (and Canon was too expensive for me), but I just didn't find it a very useful focal length range. I often wanted either wider or longer, so I carried a 10-20 f3.5 and 70-200 f4 as well ... and I found myself using the 24-70 less and less. And I also found myself often using the 10-20 but wishing it was a little bit longer, or using the 24-70 and wishing it could go wider ... or doing a LOT of lens swapping.
I keep thinking I'll move into a full frame but, truth be told, it gets more doubtful as I age. For that reason I haven't spent a lot on EF-S glass but all the praise the 17-55 is getting sure impresses me.
In your case, I think the first question is whether you'll be happy with the IQ of a super-zoom and can live with the relatively small max aperture. My brother has 18-200 and it's not bad in good light and excluding the ends of its range. If you want better IQ, the 15-85 is worth considering (my sister really likes hers) but there is still the question of whether the max aperture is enough. The 17-55 is obviously an option although the range is less, or perhaps the 15-85 plus something like the 28 f1.8 for the evenings/indoors (and when you want a more compact kit eg wandering around the streets)? Or your Tokina, a 28 f1.8 (or similar, maybe 35 f2?), plus something longer? For something longer, the 55-250 must be worth a considering if you're looking for small and light (I haven't use one so can't really comment). Or there is always the 70-200 f/4 - at least it's smaller than your 2.8!
If I look at this trip realistically, which is hard for me, I doubt I will be needing any long lens for shooting. The wide-angle end is probably more important. Sootzzs might give more insight into that area since he has been there. The super-zoom category has always concerned me in the IQ. Most reviews mention good IQ between x and y but not on either end. They usually have some sort of disclaimer that says, in effect, "this is a great lens, for what it is." My 70-200 2.8L has probably spoiled me for IQ.
Of course, so much depends on what you want to shoot / what focal lengths are important to you. If 24-105 covers the focal lengths you want to use, I'm sure you'd be happy with it.
No doubt it is a good lens and would probably fit well in my kit but it probably isn't the best choice for this particular trip.
Lastly, the mirrorless idea (OM-D maybe??) has got to be worth thinking about. I'm sticking with my 7D for now (largely because I like to shoot action sometimes) but the size/weight of the mirrorless stuff makes it tempting!The size and weight of mirrorless is certainly a consideration but since I usually shoot wildlife, birds, great-grandkids (who may fit in the first category), and kids sports, they probably aren't my #1 consideration. I may break my prejudice about buying EF-S lenses and pull the trigger on the 17-55 2.8 IS when my photo-fund gets rebuilt.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
Thanks for everyone's input.

Though it looked like he might, Tim Tebow did not disappoint the Florida fans who turned out to see him play against the Dolphins in South Florida today. Trailing by a score of 15-0, Tebow put the Broncos on the board with a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the fourth quarter. One recovered onside kick later, Tim Tebow and the Broncos tied the game and sent it to overtime.
With less than a minute left on the clock, Tebow hit tight end Daniels Fells on a short pass to his right, which Fells ran in for the touchdown. That made the score 15-13, and Denver went for the two-point conversion.
For some odd reason, the Dolphins defense seemed to have no idea that Tebow might run the ball on the two-point conversion play. He did, and the Broncos tied the Dolphins to send the game to overtime.
Denver missed two field goals earlier in the game.
Here's video of Tebow's second touchdown and the two-point conversion.

Like wildfire, they light up Facebook pages, the Twitterverse, and Email inboxes this election season. Hoaxes, Rumors and Urban legends involving the two men battling for the White house in 2012: President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.
Have you fallen for any of them?
There was a Romney campaign button with his motto "Believe in America" on the front, and on the back appeared to be the words "Made in China." That one was popular just last month.
It wasn't long before it was determined to be a hoax. A political prankster photoshopped "Made in China" on the button. According to several news organizations, the Romney buttons were made in America.
"Photoshop is a dangerous thing," said political consultant Wes Gullet. "But now you have the problem of it going viral, and then you don't know what's true and what's not."
President Obama is the target of dozens of hoaxes that usually question his citizenship. A picture of his so-called "real student ID" has circulated for several months.
Snopes.com debunked the ID as a photoshopped fake.
Another story circulating this election season says the President used $500,000 to repaint the tail of Air Force One with his Campaign logo.
That one was debunked by About.com, saying the picture of the tail was from Obama's campaign plane in 2008.
"People sit around in their spare time and do all kinds of stuff, put it up on the Internet and see if they can get it to go viral. When it does, guess what? They're doing the laughing," said Gullet.
Gullett says you can no longer believe what you hear, or see for that matter.
A picture purportedly showing Romney getting his shoes shined, aimed perhaps at making him look elitist? It's actually the governor being wanded for Security before boarding a charter flight in 2008.
Equal shoe time for Obama.
One circulating picture reports he is taking off his shoes to pray at a mosque at the White House.
The picture actually was taken as the President entered a mosque in Istanbul in 2009 for a tour.
The spouses and families are not immune to these hoaxes.
One picture started circulating more than eight months ago. It appears to show Mitt and Ann Romney attempting to spell their last name using their boys with lettered T-shirts. They spell money by mistake? (HOAX!)
THe real picture from the Associate Press shows the correct spelling. Someone photoshopped the misspelled money version.
"That's why the silly season is the silly season," said Gullet.
Another picture under the caption "Butt seriously" claims to show Spain's Princess Letizia and France's then First lady Carla Sarkozy and a rather frumpy looking Michelle Obama.
Mrs. Obama wasn't even at the Spanish dinner where the real picture was taken.
Another recent piece mocks Michelle baa and her daughters for being at the 2012 Olympics, wearing South African blankets.
The picture is actually a shot of the Obamas when they landed in South Africa in June of 2011 for a Youth Leadership event.
So what to do as Campaign 2012 winds down?
"The best thing to do at this time of year, the political season, is not to believe anything. Make up your mind not based on some picture...but based on the facts you can gather, watch the debates make the judgment yourself," said Gullet.
And question everything else.
If you run across something that sounds fishy, there are websites dedicated to debunking these hoaxes, and getting to the truth.

The second video is definitely based on the newer model. My 200DX was made in early '07 and you have to turn the power switch ON, then press process & amps buttons before the meters clear to get into the advanced menu. I can't access my advanced menu with the keystrokes they use in the video with Dig + Amps button (I went to my garage and tried it to confirm).
The manual (OM-2240) that shipped with my 200DX was NOT an easy read, but I figure it's one of those things you have to "chug through" if you want to use the machine to it's full potential. I've read the book at least a dozen times and I still don't get what you would use the mini-logic function for (page 43). I'll have to call up tech someday and ask them to send me a "Dynasty for dummies " manual - LOL
I found a page online once that i printed but cannot find the link again to post here.
A few of the ones i like or use are as follows.
All require turning the machine on while hgolding a combonation of buttons down until the meters clear of teh startup displays
Reset to factory defaults = Hold process, output and adjust buttons and turn machine on...defaults will be re-set as soon as the machine clears it's displays, I think you also have to shut it off and back on to start welding , but not sure as i've only used reset once
Gas pre=flow - hold process and adjust and turn on.
LOw OCV (open circuit voltage) for stick welding and used on "TIG liftarc" if no foot controlo is hooked up and the machine is just set to "on" - access by turning on while holding process, amperage, and adjust buttons - set to either low or normal
Arc timer - displays the total amount of arc time in hours and shows total number of arcs struck on the machine during it's life span... look in the manual for how to read the time display.. manual # 2240
TIG start polarity, time and amperage: Turn machine on while holding process and amperage buttons...the first thing to display will be the "start polarity" it will look like "-EN", hit amperage to get to the next item which is "start amperage" (will look like 40 ) and then hitting the amp button again takes you to "start time" again it will be at 40 for default, these are the AC TIG settings... if you switch to DC TIG you will have different defaults..looks like our manuals are similar, go to pages 37 through 39 and you will learn how to do it, the manual is just confusing to read the way they have it layed out.
I don't really mess with the others and don't even have notes on how to access them without going into the manual and looking.I do know all pages 38 through 56 of PM 2240 are about setting up different items in the hidden menu areas of the dynasty 200 machines (the preflow is a 200 series only thing since other dynasty models have a "pre-flow" button on them

By KIM SMITH DEDAM
---- — RAY BROOK — Four parcels of newly acquired state land are moving through the steps of Adirondack Park Agency land-use classification.
They are sections of the total 65,000 acres being conveyed by the Nature Conservancy to the state as part of the historic Finch, Pruyn & Co. transaction in 2007.
New York allocated $12.4 million late last year for the four parcels situated in the towns of Newcomb, Minerva and Indian Lake.
The parcels vary in size: Essex Chain Lakes is 18,888 acres; Indian River Tract is 945 acres; OK Slip Falls is 3,015 acres; and the smaller Open Space Conservancy section is 160 acres, according to APA documents.
Determining how these lands are classified also triggers potential reclassification of adjoining state park property, pushing the total land mass under APA review to upwards of 47,000 acres.
Adirondack Park land classification has to, by state law, adhere to tenets of the State Land Master Plan.
In a draft Environmental Impact Statement released earlier this summer, APA said: "The protection and preservation of the natural resources of the state lands within the park must be paramount. Human use and enjoyment of those lands should be permitted and encouraged, so long as the resources in their physical and biological context, as well as their social or psychological aspects, are not degraded."
A series of public hearings ended in July.
APA spokesman Keith McKeever said they received 3,749 letters/emails.
"The actual number received was higher, but we removed duplicate comments. We received many, many duplicate comments from the same people."
APA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement puts eight options, with subcategories, on the planning table, including a final "do nothing" alternative.
The various options wrangle with boundaries that would press — to greater and lesser degrees — a preservation-oriented Wilderness boundary against the more accessible Wild Forest designation; or a Canoe Area with Wilderness corridors; or Wild Forest mixed with Wilderness and State Administrative regions.
All but two options form a Wilderness around the Hudson River Corridor.
According to APA's maps, classifications could partition each parcel, isolating the more sensitive land areas from lands crisscrossed by existing logging/camp roads, gravel pits or structures protected by permanent deeded rights for town, public and private use.
Maps of the four parcels offer a complex picture of how each classification might juxtapose another against the surrounding mix of state and private lands within town boundaries.
They look something like giant puzzles, but once assembled, they would depict long-reaching land-use strategy.
DEC has also developed a conceptual map of recreation and access strategy.
The DEC map identifies a Wilderness boundary pertinent to ingress and egress, with the northern two-thirds of Essex Chain Lakes and Indian River tracts set as Wild Forest areas.
DEC suggests access points on the northern side of each tract for different types of recreation, including handicapped-accessible areas, swimming, biking and snowmobiling. And its map marks several sites for visitor parking.
In DEC's concept, OK Slip Tract is classified entirely Wilderness, except for a parcel of private land inside the boundary. That private property has been owned by Northern Frontier Camp, a Christian summer camp for boys, since 1946.
The southern third of the Indian River Tract is isolated as Wilderness in DEC's concept, conjoining OK Slip as part of a larger Hudson Gorge Wilderness.
Most of the APA and DEC plans would establish a Hudson Gorge Wilderness region, requiring reclassification of easterly state land units.
The Hudson Gorge tract is currently a Primitive Area.
APA's analysis of the scientific data and ecologically sensitive areas will govern, to large extent, what course DEC and the towns could chart in managing recreational use on the state lands.
But classification has to make room for easements in place.
Camp properties in Essex Chain Lakes are currently held in fee-lease by hunting clubs.
The Polaris and Gooley Clubs maintain use of 1-acre parcels around their existing camps through 2018 in an agreement made when the Nature Conservancy bought the land nearly six years ago.
At least one environmental group believes APA might do better to wait to classify the lands.
"One option that the APA should consider is not to classify these lands until two things happen," Protect the Adirondacks Executive Director Peter Bauer said in a recent interview.
"First, until all of the entire 69,000 acres has been purchased (from the Nature Conservancy); and second, until all the reserved rights through 2018 are extinguished.
"It's going to be hard to implement any classification while people are still driving around. There is not a lot of precedent for such a deal."
Other land-use agreements allow for sustained municipal use of state lands.
Minerva and Newcomb, for instance, have reserved rights to gravel pits in the Essex Chain Lakes tract.
Both towns also have reserved floatplane access rights on First and Pine Lakes.
Minerva and Indian Lake have easements to a road and gravel pits on the Indian River Tract.
Northern Frontier Camp owns OK Slip Pond inside the OK Slip Falls tract with a private right-of-way on a gravel road to its property.
All of these preexisting conditions could impact the legal decision-making.
The formal DEC management plan for recreational use would come after APA designation.
"APA's role is to classify the land based on State Land Master Plan criteria," McKeever said.
"The second aspect in planning is the Unit Management planning process, and that gets to specific locations of parking lots, boat launches; what types of uses can occur on trails; and where motorized access would be allowed."
The draft Environmental Impact Statement of the four parcels goes back to commissioners in September, when they might either designate land-use classification or carry deliberations into October.
APA's decision will eventually be sent in a joint letter with DEC to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, McKeever said.
The governor's signature grants final approval of any Adirondack Park land-use plan.

This is the first of a two-part report on eight options on the APA planning table for State Land Master Plan classification.
The four parcels around and encompassing Essex Chain Lakes were added to the Adirondack Park as part of The Nature Conservancy's former Finch, Pruyn & Co. timberland deal. The new state lands are primarily in Minerva, Indian Lake and Newcomb.
Part 2 will explore how preexisting conditions could impact legal decision-making in the land-classification process.

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin says the state of Illinois needs to sell the vacant Thomson prison to the federal government now.
The state built Thomson in 2001, but it's never been used.
Now, Illinois wants to sell the facility to the federal government, which would create some 1,100 jobs in the northwestern part of the state.
But, the sale has been blocked by Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the federal Bureau of Prisons.
Wolf is opposed to bringing Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the mainland and sees Thomson as a possible location for them, something that's been repeatedly denied by the Obama administration.
"Just one Republican congressman from Virginia says no. Just one. That's not fair to the people looking for 11-hundred good paying jobs and for the federal prison system which is overcrowded," said Senator Dick Durbin, (D) IL.
Republicans initially opposed an original plan to sell Thompson, but now some, including Senator Mark Kirk are backing the proposal.
