Summary: I have been using a Sony HC-3 High Definition Camcorder since 2006 with very good results. The HC-3 records to mini-DV tapes. I purchased the R300 to save time by not having to deal with the hassle and expense of finding and using tape. To transfer two hours of video to my computer from the HC-3 it takes an additional two hours. The Canon HF R300 records to files of a number of different resolutions, compressions and formats. Many can be used without any re-encoding before being either uploaded to YouTube or written to Blueray discs. This is a huge time saver for me and the primary reason that I purchased this camcorder.
It does come stock with a very small battery and I understand other users frustrations. I have always purchased at least a couple of extra batteries immediately for every camcorder that I have ever purchased. Taking video and especially high definition video has always been a power hungry application. Most of the video that I take is actually in auditoriums; the first thing that I do is try to find a good spot that has both a good view of the stage and a power outlet. I have always had issues with batteries giving out on me at the most inopportune times.
I purchased my Vixia in a bundle that included an additional OEM medium capacity battery, a case, and an 8gig SD card. I immediately purchased two additional generic high capacity batteries and a wall charger for $24 including shipping. With three extra batteries I have the battery capacity that I need even if I am not able to park myself next to an outlet during an event and I got it all at a price that I cannot even mention here because it was so low.
My Sony HC-3 has a 1/3" CMOS sensor and it had the best low light capabilities of any consumer camcorder in 2006. The Canon HF R300 has a smaller 1/4.85" CMOS with more pixels, so it is at a disadvantage because each pixel is receiving a smaller amount of light at a given brightness level. However there have been improvements in both pixel sensitivity and density over the years and the Canon HF R300 while not quite as good as some higher priced camcorders in low light... is more than adequate for what I use it for. The results are very similar to my Sony HC-3. For what I use it for the most the 30x zoom lens is a very big plus as compared to the 10x lens in my Sony HC-3 and the more expensive Canons. I am willing to give up a little in low light sensitivity for the more powerful zoom.
For my purposes the ability to plug in an external microphone or the line out of a PA system or mixer is essential. Every camcorder that I have purchased over the past 30 years has always had the capability to plug in an external sound source or microphone. The Sony HC-3 did not initially have a mic jack but both bluetooth mics and a mic jack adapter was available which added the mic or line input through the hot shoe. An external mic jack is generally available on most high end camcorders, but on less expensive camcorders this is one of the first options to be dropped. So I am very grateful that the Canon HF R300 has both an external mic jack and a headphone jack.
Every camcorder in this price range is going to have a few compromises. Mine came bundled with adequate batteries and I purchased additional high capacity batteries and a wall charger for a nominal amount so I do not consider that to be a negative. My assumption is that Canon will most likely include a larger battery on this coming years model. I would have appreciated a hot shoe for powered accessories such as a light or bluetooth microphone. This camcorder has a lot of options and adjustments that can be accessed through the menu system; it would have been nice if a few of these could have been accessed through programmable buttons. I also would have loved a LANC terminal so that I could control the Zoom and other functions from a tripod.
Overall this is an incredible camcorder for the price. It has too many features to list in my review. I especially appreciate the choice in file formats, frame rates, resolution and compression. This allows a user to easily burn a DVD that will play HD video in a blueray player without re-encoding. It also allows one to upload HD content to YouTube without re-encoding. This is a feature that is a big improvement over the prior years comparable Canon Camcorders. Inexplicably this major improvement is not mentioned in most reviews, but will save me hours of time and frustration.
This is an incredibly versatile camcorder with a lot of hidden bells and whistles. It records very good video and has an easy to use automatic mode, but enough options to keep a more experienced user happy, lastly I suggest check for best deal of this camcorder at: Flashmemory-camcorders.blogspot.com/p/canon-vixia-hf-r300.html
Thank for reading and hope this review is helpful for who looking for some worth camcorder.

Minor: Physics
Related Majors: Chemistry, Applied Mathematical Science
Related Minor: Chemistry
Program Director: Charles Benesh, Associate Professor of Physics
Physics courses are offered in support of majors in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and educational studies and also to fulfill the College's General Education requirements. Students interested in further studies in physics should consider the physics minor. For information about specific courses offered, please see our Academic Catalogue.
Related Programs
Wesleyan has a pre-engineering dual degree program in conjunction with the Georgia Institute of Technology, Auburn University, and Mercer University. Under the dual degree program, a student attends Wesleyan for three years (90 semester hours) and then attends one of the cooperating institutions for two to three years. After completing the academic requirements of the two institutions, the student is awarded a bachelor's degree from both Wesleyan and the cooperating engineering school.
Our pre-engineering program is administered through the Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The pre-engineering curriculum is designed to give an engineering student a strong background in the liberal arts as well as the basic mathematics and science she will need for her engineering coursework. We have had graduates in electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, and nuclear engineering.
Laboratory experience plays a central role in study of physics at Wesleyan. Each of our introductory laboratory stations features a wide variety of sensors and interfaces for computer data acquisition and analysis. Apparatus are available for the study of more advanced topics in optics, nuclear and atomic physics, and chaos. Several small telescopes are available astronomical studies. The department has also put together a Linux-based Beowulf cluster for use by students interested in projects in computational physics.
The Munroe Science Center, a dynamic new campus centerpiece, opened in August 2007. The new state-of-the-art science facility will serve an increasing number of Wesleyan students enrolled and majoring in one or more fields of science while also addressing the great need throughout our state and nation for women who are skilled in medicine, scientific research, computer technology, and mathematics. Through its eleven teaching laboratories and nine research laboratories, the new facility encourages faculty/student collaboration on research projects, contains interactive laboratories for specific experimentation, and offers individualized instruction in an environmentally efficient and safe setting. State-of-the-art laboratories include cell biology, ecology, physiology, immunology, and instrumental analysis labs as well as general biology, and chemistry labs. While teaching laboratories serve as classrooms, a small seminar room and two technologically advanced classrooms also are used for instruction. Among its many specialty science spaces, the 42,000-square-foot facility includes an astronomy observation deck, a greenhouse, a vivarium, and a community learning center.
The Randolph and Margaret Munroe Thrower Astronomy platform, a rooftop observing space, provides space for 8-10 telescopes for use by astronomy and physics students. Plans are also underway to renovate and expand the physics facilities in Taylor Hall to include a dedicated space for an advanced laboratory for upper level courses and additional research space for students and faculty.
Field Study
Physics students are strongly encouraged to participate in undergraduate research both on and off campus. Recent students have collaborated with faculty on a projects in hadronic physics and completed an honors thesis on chaos. Physics majors have also participated in undergraduate research programs at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Cornell High Energy Synchotron, and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Scholarships and Awards
Munroe Scholars Program. Provides substantial financial support for outstanding students majoring in science and math.
Lise Meitner Award. For the outstanding physics student.
Graduates from Wesleyan with a major in physics are currently studying at the graduate level in physics, medical physics, mathematics and related areas; working in government and industry, and teaching high school or college mathematics and physics. Equipped with a strong liberal arts background, our graduates combine a physics foundation with other unexpected academic disciplines and succeed in a wide array of professional pursuits. Some recent graduates who doubled majored in mathematics and physics are now succeeding in law school. Of the Wesleyan physics majors who graduated in the past five years, forty-three percent immediately secured work in a field related to their undergraduate degree while fifty-six percent pursued graduate or professional school.
You'll find recent Wesleyan graduates pursuing post baccalaureate degrees related to the field of physics at countless prestigious institutions across the world including Washington University, Clemson University, The University of Texas (Houston) Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M, Northwestern University, Emory University, Vanderbilt University, Duke University School of Medicine, George Washington University School of Medicine, Florida State University Dental School, University of California Veterinary School, University of the West Indies Veterinary School, Vanderbilt University Law School, and Mercer University Law School.

DALTON, GA (WRCB) -- The search is on for the man who forced his way into an elderly woman's home and sexually assaulted her.
Police have a description of the suspect and his car, but they need the public's help identifying him.
Just a block from an elementary school, a Vann Circle housing authority complex is full of senior citizens and young families. That's why Sgt. Matthew Locke says what happened here came as a surprise. "Middle of the day, younger suspect, older female victim," Sgt. Locke says. "We're very concerned. We want this person off the streets." Dalton police say a man forced his way into an elderly woman's home around 10:30 Thursday morning. "Basically, he asked for someone by name and when she told him there's nobody here, that's when he forced his way into her house," says Sgt. Locke. After raping the woman, who is in her late 70s, he left in what neighbors describe as an older model white Jeep Cherokee. The victim described the suspect as a white male who's about 30 years old. He is about 5'8" tall and slender. He was wearing a ball cap and what appeared to be a leather jacket and jeans. The suspect left the home without taking anything. Detectives say he makes his intentions pretty clear. What isn't clear is if he had prior knowledge that the victim would be home alone. "As far as she can, that's the first time she's ever had any contact with him," says Sgt. Locke. While the victim may have not recognized her attacker, neighbors recall seeing his getaway car. "Some people feel like they've seen it in the area before, so there's a good possibility the person is actually from that area," says Sgt. Locke. Neighbors were reluctant to go on camera for fear of their safety, but say they'll be on edge until the man is behind bars. "If anyone has any information that sounds familiar to the description or the vehicle, please call us here at the police department," pleads Sgt. Locke.
Dalton police say if someone comes to your door while you're home alone, don't open the door. If you don't know the person and they won't leave call 9-1-1.
If you can help in this case, you're asked to call Detective Greg Bates at (706) 278-9085 ext. 137.

The cost of food is going up, experts say. Here's how to offset higher prices with smart savings strategies.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromKelli B. Grantat partner site SmartMoney.
Coupons don't cut it for grocery savings anymore.
Although inflation has been modest lately, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts food-price inflation is likely to jump 2% to 3% in 2011. That means food companies and supermarkets will soon be facing higher overhead costs.
Prices of commodities such as coffee, cattle and grain are rising, and they can go up only so far before the food industry is forced to reduce package size, raise prices or both.
"When a food that depends on one commodity like coffee goes up, we see it pretty fast in retail prices," says Jack Plunkett, chief executive of Plunkett Research, a market research firm.
Consumers who want to keep rising food costs in check will need to adjust their spending substantially, says Phil Lempert, founder of grocery information site Supermarket Guru.
Could the 30-year rate fall below 4%? Experts consider the possibility.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Mortgage interest rates dropped yet again this week.
- Freddie Mac, the quasi-government mortgage company, reported that 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are averaging 4.32% (with an average cost of 0.7 point), down from 4.36% last week -- and from 5.08% this time last year.
- Fifteen-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped to 3.83% (with 0.6 point), down from 3.86% last week and 4.54% last year.
Freddie Mac started tracking the 30-year fixed-rate in 1971 and the 15-year rate in 1991, and the prices this summer have broken every record.
Here's the new question: Could the 30-year fixed mortgage conceivably drop below 4%? It would be something to tell your grandchildren about.
If an item is vastly underpriced, are you required to tell the seller?
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
In my recent post about cultivating your knowledge for fun and profit, I mentioned that you should hit yard sales, consignment shops, estate sales, etc., as a way to put your knowledge to work for you and take advantage of underpriced items. A few commenters thought this was unethical, so I thought I'd look at that particular point a bit more deeply.
I'll start off by giving you a specific example of when I've done this in the past. As a teenager, I collected Magic: The Gathering cards (I still play with my wife using a handful of remaining cards). I had a very good idea of what some of the valuable ones were, including a few that sold for hundreds of dollars and a good number that could net $20 or more apiece.
Credit card companies are pushing 'professional' cards, which don't have the new consumer protections of personal cards.
Aren't you special. Credit card companies have decided that you're a "professional" and are sending you applications for their "professional" cards. It doesn't matter if you're retired or, say, drive a tow truck for a living.

But therein lies a trap. While your personal status hasn't changed, the rules for personal credit cards have. The so-called professional cards, unlike personal cards, aren't subject to the consumer protections in the now fully implementedCredit CARD Act.
Automakers employ 'nose teams' to create distinctive scents for their brands while working to eliminate the toxic fumes of the past.
We all say we love the traditional new-car smell, but the truth is that the new-car smell of the past is the smell of toxic chemicals. That just won't do.
Knowing that smell is an important part of the new-car experience, Ford has a "smell jury" working on coming up with just the right fragrance for a new Ford, reports Forbes.
The smell jury's goal "is to pinpoint a scent that 'produces a sense of well-being inside a Ford,' says Derrick Kuzak, group vice president for global product."
Consumers looking for a seasonal flu vaccination can get them early and cheap.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromKelli B. Grantat partner site SmartMoney.
Catching the flu can be a pricey proposition, what with lost sick days at work, doctor visit co-pays, and trips to the store for Tamiflu, tissues and chicken soup. In comparison, a seasonal flu shot for $30 seems like a bargain -- and yet even at that price, you may be overpaying.
After last year's vaccine shortages and widespread H1N1 (aka swine flu) cases, retailers are using public interest in seasonal flu shots as a way to get consumers in stores. Both CVS and Rite Aid cut prices from last year: CVS to $30 from $35 and Rite Aid to $25 from $30. Supermarkets including Safeway, Winn Dixie and SuperValu are sweetening their clinic offerings with store discounts and coupons.
One technology that hasn't kept up with the times is the power meter outside your house. Now new devices can help you track minute to minute how much you use.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
They say knowledge is power, but Microsoft and a partner are betting more knowledge means less power. The computer software giant has teamed with Blue Line Innovations and created a device that charts your home's electricity consumption -- and cost -- every 30 seconds, and displays it on a handheld device or your computer.
"You're getting real-time data so you can take real-time action," says Troy Batterberry, product unit manager for Microsoft Hohm -- Microsoft's energy-saving website.
Knowing what to reject is just as important as knowing what to grab.
This post comes from Kentin Waits at partner blog Wise Bread.
The idea of dumpster diving seems to push the limits of even the most frugal among us. Visions come to mind of foraging in muck, half-disguised out of fear of being spotted by a neighbor, only to rush home for a shower worthy of Silkwood when it's all over. But the reality is far more reasonable, clean, and civilized than you might imagine.
Dumpster diving (an unfortunate misnomer in most cases, as I've never seen anyone actually get in a Dumpster) is a spectrum activity; you can go as far as your comfort level allows and there are great finds to be had at each point.
Let's face it: The recession has uprooted a lot people -- folks are on the move as they return to college, downsize, look for work, and consolidate households.

Zayo files paperwork with SEC for IPO
Last Updated: 18:57 July 2, 2014
Boulder-based Zayo, a bandwidth infrastructure provider, did not include in the filing how many shares will be sold in the offering or on which exchange the stock will be listed.
The filing said Zayo plans to use the proceeds from the offering for debt repayment and general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures, and to pay other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering. The company pointed out in the filing that it has spent more money than it has generated.
Zayo provides high-bandwidth infrastructure services over metro, regional and long-haul fiber networks and through interconnected data centers.
Zayo was founded in 2007 by Dan Caruso and John Scarano, former executives of Broomfield-based Level 3 Telecommunications Inc. (Nasdaq: LVLT), and has been growing through acquisitions.
The company's network connects 14,490 buildings, including 3,838 cellular towers and 527 data centers.
Zayo is backed by private equity and venture capital firms including GTCR LLC, Oak Investment Partners, M/C Partners, Columbia Capital and Charlesbank Capital Partners.
The company's revenue almost tripled to about $1 billion in 2013, but net loss widened to $137.2 million from $1.2 million a year earlier.
Zayo listed Morgan Stanley, Barclays and Goldman Sachs as lead underwriters for the IPO. Additional underwriters include RBC Capital Markets, Citigroup, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Cowen and Co., D.A. Davidson & Co., Oppenheimer & Co., Raymond James, Stephens Inc., Wells Fargo Securities and William Blair.

The Shrine Auditorium was lined with informational booths and even a store to provide participants with clothing and hygiene items."The people that are struggling everyday grow every year," said Karla Maslowski, Billings Community Connect board chair. "We see that numbers keep increasing as far as people who need to connect with agencies to get a hand up versus a hand out."An annual survey by Welcome Home Billings showed nearly 800 people didn't have a place to live last year in January. That's a five percent increase from 2012.The event's not just for those without a home though. It's for anyone who's struggling to keep their independence."People really just need that chance and that's why I think it's a great that we have so many non-profits that work so hard here in Billings to provide those resources," said Shelby Barron, a volunteer.Volunteers say it's a good way to enrich the community and show that people care."For me, it's an opportunity to make a personal connection and offer some very personalized service," said Pam Makara, the event's volunteer coordinator. "They seem to be very eager to accept help and always so very grateful for the help that you are willing to take a few minutes to give to them and for me that's very powerful."Organizers say they brought together more service providers than ever before. 51 organizations were there.

February was a record-breaking traffic month for Mother Jones. Three million unique users visited the site — a 420 percent increase from February 2010′s numbers. And MotherJones.com posted 6.6 million pageviews overall — a 275 percent increase.
The magazine credits the traffic burst partly to a month of exceptional work in investigations, essays, and exposes, its editorial bread and butter: real-time coverage of the Wisconsin protests, a Kevin Drum essay on the consequences of wealth inequality in America, the first national media coverage of that infamous prank call to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. The also mag credits the traffic, though, to its extended presence on social media: Mother Jones' Twitter followers increased 28 percent in February, to more than 43,000; its Facebook fan base grew 20 percent, to nearly 40,000; and its Tumblr fan base grew 200 percent, to nearly 3,000 followers.
In all, the mag estimates, a cumulative 29 percent of traffic to MotherJones.com came from social media sites.
But Mother Jones also attributes the traffic explosion to a new kind of news content: its series of explainers detailing and unpacking the complexities of the situations in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, and Wisconsin. We wrote about MoJo's Egypt explainer in January, pointing out the feature's particular ability to accommodate disparate levels of reader background knowledge; that format, Adam Weinstein, a MoJo copy editor and blogger, told me, has become the standard one for the mag's explainers. "It was a great resource for the reader, but it also helped us to focus our coverage," Weinstein notes. "When something momentous happens, it can be hard for a small staff to focus their energies, I think. And this was an ideal way to do that."
The magazine started its explainer series with a debrief on Tunisia; with the Egypt explainer, written by MoJo reporter Nick Baumann, the form became a format. The explainers became "a collaborative effort," Weinstein says — "everybody pitched in." And the explainer layout, with the implicit permission it gives to the reader to pick and choose among the content it contains, "just became this thing where we could stockpile the information as it was coming in." It also allowed MoJo journos to "be responsive to people responding via social media with questions, with interests, with inquiries that they didn't see answers to in other media outlets."
It was a format that proved particularly useful, Weinstein notes, during the weekend after Mubarak had resigned in Egypt and when protests gained power in Libya and, stateside, Wisconsin. "All of this was happening at the same time," he says — "none of us were getting a lot of sleep that weekend" — and "our social media just exploded." But because MoJo's Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook pages became, collectively, such an important interface for conversation, "we needed a really efficient way of organizing our content," and in one conveniently centralized location. So the explainer format became, essentially, "a great landing page."
The success of that format could offer some insight for any outlet trying to navigate between the Scylla and Charybdis of content and context. Explainers represent something of a tension for news organizations; on the one hand, they can be hugely valuable, both to readers and to orgs' ability to create community around particular topics and news events; on the other, they can be redundant and, worse, off-mission. ("We're not Wikipedia," one editor puts it.)
It's worth noting, though, that MoJo explainers aren't, strictly, topic pages; rather, they're topical pages. Their content isn't reference material catered to readers' general interests; it's news material catered to readers' immediate need for context and understanding when it comes to complex, and time-sensitive, situations. The pages' currency, in other words, is currency itself.
That's likely why the explainers have been so successful for MoJo's traffic (and, given the outlet's employment of digital advertising, its bottom line); it's also why, though, the format requires strategic thinking when it comes to the resources demanded by reporting and aggregation — particularly for outlets of a relatively small staff size, like MoJo. Explainers, as valuable as they can be, aren't always the best way for a news outlet to add value. "We still do the long-form stories," Weinstein notes, "and this has just given us a place to have a clearinghouse for that." For MoJo, he says, the explainer "is a way of stitching together all the work that everyone's been doing. And we're thrilled that readers have responded."

The Miami Marlins are looking forward to slugger Giancarlo Stanton taking aim at the home-run structure in left-center field at Marlins Park. Maybe he'll hit a ball into it and it will burst into fireworks like the light tower did in "The Natural"!
Or not. Anyway, now the Marlins are simply hoping that Stanton will be healthy for the start of the regular season. Manny Navarro:
The Marlins starting left fielder and clean-up hitter said Friday an MRI performed Wednesday revealed "a little bit of inflammation in his left knee" and he'll wait a couple days before being reevaluated.
This can't be good. The article goes on to say that Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen "hopes" to have his entire lineup "ready to go" by March 24 — that's a week from Saturday, so that still gives Stanton time to rest up and be ready. But:
Asked if he thought he would be back by then, Stanton said: "We're working towards it."
"It all depends on how it responds. I'm trying to get there," he said.
Navarro reports that Stanton had played through some left knee issues during 2011, which didn't stop him from hitting .262/.356/.537 with 34 home runs. Pretty good if you're healthy, very good if you're playing through pain.
As always, we await further developments.

Chronic kidney failure, also called chronic kidney disease, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney failure reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can accumulate in your body.
In the early stages of chronic kidney failure, you may have few signs or symptoms. Chronic kidney failure may not become apparent until your kidney function is significantly impaired.
Treatment for chronic kidney failure focuses on slowing the progression of the kidney damage, usually by controlling the underlying cause. Chronic kidney failure can progress to end-stage kidney disease, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant.
Signs and symptoms of kidney failure develop slowly over time if kidney damage progresses slowly. Signs and symptoms of kidney failure may include:
Signs and symptoms of kidney failure are often nonspecific, meaning they can also be caused by other illnesses. In addition, because your kidneys are highly adaptable and able to compensate for lost function, signs and symptoms of kidney failure may not appear until irreversible damage has occurred.
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms.
If you have a medical condition that increases your risk of chronic kidney failure, your doctor is likely to monitor your blood pressure and kidney function with urine and blood tests during regular office visits. Ask your doctor whether these types of tests are right for you.
Chronic kidney failure occurs when a disease or condition impairs kidney function, causing kidney damage to worsen over several months or years.
Diseases and conditions that commonly cause chronic kidney failure include:
Factors that may increase your risk of chronic kidney failure include:
Chronic kidney failure can affect almost every part of your body. Potential complications may include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms. If tests reveal you have kidney damage, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in kidney problems (nephrologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, including what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
For chronic kidney failure, some basic questions to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask additional questions during your appointment as they occur to you.
To determine whether you have chronic kidney failure, you may need tests and procedures such as:
Depending on the underlying cause, some types of chronic kidney failure can be treated. Often, though, chronic kidney failure has no cure. Treatment consists of measures to help control signs and symptoms of chronic kidney failure, reduce complications, and slow the progress of the disease. If your kidneys become severely damaged, you may need treatments for end-stage kidney disease.
Treating the cause of kidney failure
Your doctor will work to slow or control the disease or condition that's causing your kidney failure. Treatment options vary, depending on the cause. But kidney damage can continue to worsen even when an underlying condition, such as high blood pressure, has been controlled.
Treating complications of kidney failure Kidney failure complications can be controlled to make you more comfortable. Treatments may include:
Treatment for end-stage kidney disease
If your kidneys can't keep up with waste and fluid clearance on their own and you develop complete or near-complete kidney failure, you have end-stage kidney disease. At that point, dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed.
If you're unwilling to have dialysis or a kidney transplant, a third option is to treat your kidney failure with conservative measures. However, your life expectancy generally would be only a few weeks in the case of complete kidney failure.
As part of your treatment for chronic kidney disease, your doctor may recommend a special diet to help support your kidneys and limit the work they must do. Ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian who can analyze your current diet and suggest ways to make your diet easier on your kidneys.
Depending on your situation, kidney function and overall health, your dietitian may recommend that you:
Receiving a diagnosis of chronic kidney failure can be worrisome. You may be concerned about what your diagnosis means for your future health. To help you cope with your feelings, consider trying to:

Glenn Guilbeau / Gannett Louisiana
BATON ROUGE - Former LSU linebacker Tahj Jones wants to play football again as he continues a speedy recovery from two surgeries for a gunshot wound to his abdomen on April 11.
"Oh yeah, he plans on playing football again," said Mark Swinney, who with his wife Pam Swinney adopted Jones a decade ago in Sulphur after Jones' mother died. "There is always a chance. That's what we're praying for."
Doctors at Rapides Regional Medical Center in Alexandria did not rule out a return to the football field.
"They want him to take it slow right now," Swinney said Wednesday night from Jones' hospital room as Jones was awaiting final orders from doctors before he could leave. Later after 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jones was released from the hospital, Rapides Regional spokesman John Marcase confirmed at 8:30 p.m.
"He is up and walking around," Swinney said. "He's trying to go too fast, the doctors said."
Jones, 24, has always been very fast. On April 9 at LSU's Pro Day, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound outside linebacker ran the 40-yard dash in front of several NFL coaches and personnel executives at the tailback and wide receiver time of 4.54 seconds.
Two nights later, he was shot in the abdomen allegedly by former LSU offensive tackle Brandon Winey of Lake Charles at the apartment of a female acquaintance of both in nearby Sulphur shortly before midnight. After Winey fled, the female friend took Jones to West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital in Sulphur, according to Sulphur Police.
Jones was then taken by ambulance to the Level 1 Trauma Unit at Rapides Regional Medical Center in Alexandria for emergency surgery early Saturday. A second surgery followed on that Sunday.
He was in intensive care for two days and in serious condition for several more. Winey, who played at LSU from 1997-2000, remains in a Sulphur jail on $1 million bond on a charge of attempted second degree murder.
A 2009 signee out of Sulphur High School, Jones was expected to start at outside linebacker for the Tigers in 2012 before he was ruled academically ineligible for all of the season except the bowl game. In the loss to Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, Jones made four tackles with a sack and a forced fumble. Jones won his starting job back before the 2013 season but missed most of the year with a nagging hamstring injury.
"He wants a chance to play," Jones' childhood friend Shane Hanchey said. "He's so fast. He could really roll down the field on those kickoffs."
Jones was not expected to be selected in the NFL Draft on May 8-10, but he had hopes of trying out at training camp in July and August and catching on as an undrafted free agent because of his special teams abilities.
"He plans on trying that next year," Swinney said. "He made it through this. Who knows what he can do if he gets the chance? We thank God that he survived. The kid could've been dead. The doctors couldn't believe he stayed alive."
At the moment, Jones still has a tube in his side for draining purposes.
"He's supposed to have a lot of bed rest for at least a week," Swinney said. "We thank God that he's all right. I know people at newspapers don't like to quote people talking about God, but we feel like Tahj was saved by a miracle."

There are technical and career schools, universities, colleges, online schools, and more. What's the difference?
Technical Schools
Technical schools offer training in specific careers that involve technology. Courses teach knowledge and skills focused on specific technical careers such as computer programming, graphic and web design, and electrical/electronic engineering, to name just a few. This is the kind of school you need for technical certification in particular computer programs and software. Technical degrees are also offered by many schools.
There are many good websites available to help you in your search for a technical school. Here are just two:
Career/Vocational/Trade Schools
Some people, and websites, consider technical and career schools the same, and these two types of schools do have the same focus: helping students prepare for a specific career versus a general, liberal arts education. I separate technical because all technical careers involve heavy, even exclusive, use of a computer. If the job you want is on a computer, a good technical school might be best for you.
Career schools offer a wide variety of programs involving specific skills for the following kinds of careers:
- Mechanic
- Hair stylist
- Truck driver
- Interior designer
- Chef
- Photographer
Many offer two-year associate degrees and professional certificates, and some even offer four-year degrees. Other programs might last just a few months.
- Technical School Directory includes career schools too.
- Vocational Information Center also combines these types of schools.
Community/Junior Colleges
Community Colleges, sometimes referred to as Junior Colleges, offer two-year associate degrees that prepare students for transferring to a four-year college or university program. These colleges serve communities well by offering classes at a variety of times (days, evenings, and weekends), to make it easier for working people to attend. They're also considerably less expensive than traditional colleges. Most also offer community education courses and seminars.
- Allen Grove, About.com's Guide to College Admissions, has a wonderful article entitled 5 Reasons to Consider Community College.
- The U.S. Two-Year Colleges website offers a list of thousands of community colleges.
- The University of Texas at Austin also provides a list of community colleges by state.
Universities, both state and private, offer the most edcuational options, from associate and bachelor's degrees to master's and doctorates in almost every field. As a result, universities are often very large organizations. This is something to be considered. You might find that kind of setting thrilling or intimidating. If you have a university available to you, check out all of the opportunities it offers before you make a decision.
- Allen Grove also has a list of the Top Universities in the U.S.
- Universities.com is a good online resource for all things university.
Private Colleges
Private colleges offer bachelor's degrees primarily, but many offer graduate degrees also. Many, if not most, are liberal arts schools, which means they provide a general education as opposed to one focused on a particular career, and focus on undergraduate degrees, both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. The benefit of a liberal arts education is that it exposes students to a wide variety of disciplines, teaches them how to think both critically and creatively, and provides them with a well-rounded education that can be applied in almost any field.
Private colleges are often found in beautiful settings that create a sense of community. Many are affiliated with a religious denomination, and most are rather expensive.
- Allen Grove's Top Liberal Arts Colleges.
- Petersons.com provides lots of information about colleges, universities, and technical/career schools.
Business Colleges
Business schools are pretty self-explanatory. They focus on business subjects: accounting, business administration, e-commerce, human resources, public relations, marketing, economics, project management…you get the idea.
- Karen Schweitzer, About.com's Guide to Business Schools, has a website full of everything you need to know if you've chosen an undergraduate degree in business or are after an MBA (Master's in Business Administration).
- BusinessSchools.com provides a good directory of both online and on campus schools.
Online Schools
Online schools are fantastically convenient. You can take classes anywhere in the world from your very own living room. It doesn't get much more convenient than that. Going to school online, however, has its drawbacks. It's important to thoroughly check out the school you've chosen to be sure it's accredited or your credits will not be recognized or transferable.
Jamie Littlefield is the Guide to Distance Learning at About.com. She can guide you through the process of choosing the right online school for you.
If you have chosen theology, or religion, as your career, a seminary might be the best place for you to get your education. They are usually affiliated with a specific religion, although not always. Many colleges and universities also offer degrees in religion. Check out all of your options if this is your chosen path.
A military college might be the best choice if you know you want a military career. There are a lot of choices, including military prep schools, liberal arts junior colleges, four-year colleges, and academies for specific branches. About.com's Guide to the U.S. Military, Rod Powers, can help you sort through the choices.

The New York Jets will have several difficult free agency decisions (whenever the NFL lockout ends and free agency starts) and among those tough decisions will be WR Braylon Edwards. The Jets have continually said they want to keep Edwards but A.) that may not be feasible with guys like WR Santonio Holmes and CB Antonio Cromartie looking for new contracts as well and B.) the Jets may not even try that hard to keep him.
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network writes that he doesn't think re-signing Edwards to a big contract is the right move and that the Jets aren't expected to try that hard to do so.
He is looking for the kind of big money that goes to top starting receivers. In what could be a very shallow market, chances are he will get it. The Jets won't fight that hard to keep him -- that tells you more than enough. New York is in the middle of a huge effort to re-sign and retain its core youngsters.
La Canfora cites Edwards' inconsistency as a reason for the suggestion that the Jets won't make a strong effort to keep him in New York.
Edwards can be petulant, is inconsistent and has made poor decisions off the field. He will wow you with one moment of splendor then fall back into a bone-headed funk. I'd expect his worst traits to be exacerbated once he has that big contract. I wouldn't go there.
All that said, it's possible the Jets have enough cash, even if they want to re-sign Holmes. If the new CBA includes the same restrictions on free agency that there were in the 2010 season -- six years needed for unrestricted free agency -- then Holmes can be retained at a cheaper price. That's a scenario in which Edwards could then return to New York easier than re-signing both as unrestricted free agents.

Woman charged with ramming ex's car
WARREN - A 22-year-old Cortland-area woman is free on $5,000 bond after pleading not guilty Monday to two counts of felonious assault in connection with a traffic crash early Sunday when her boyfriend and another woman were reportedly run off the road.
J'me Brady of North Park Avenue Extension was ordered to have no contact with Michael Keith, 22, of Eggelsson Drive N.W., and Sara Barnosky, 21, of Garrettsville. The couple told police that Brady rear-ended their car several times about 2:30 a.m. when they were driving on Parkman Road N.W. The couple said they turned on Southern Boulevard and were run off the road and into a tree in front of 1635 Southern Blvd.
Both refused medical attention. Keith told police Brady was his ex-girlfriend.
Brady, who was scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 15, told an officer she simply wanted to get Keith's attention to talk to him, the police report states.

Sharafan and three children, ages 15, 13 and 9, were all taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center to be treated for minor injuries. She was cited for failing to maintain assured clear distance.
Hiram woman killed in single-car crash
HIRAM - A Hiram woman was killed Sunday night in a one-car crash near her home.
Troopers from the Ravenna Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said the crash occurred about 9:15 p.m. on Pope Road, north of Winchell Road.
A 2008 Pontiac G6 operated by Rebecca Brownlee was traveling south on Pope Road when the vehicle dropped off the east side of the road, hit a tree, flipped and landed on its top.
Brownlee, 23, was trapped in the vehicle and had to be cut free from the car. She was pronounced dead at the scene by the Portage County coroner's investigator.
She was not wearing her seat belt, according to the report.
The crash remains under investigation.
Store operators robbed at closing
WARREN - A Youngstown couple who operate Z&J Market at 1006 Perkinswood Blvd. S.E. was robbed of $7,000 by two men as they were closing the business Friday night.
Mustafa Amireh, 57, and his wife, Ibtisam, 53, said they were walking to their car about 10 p.m. when they were attacked by the two people, who eventually took off in a northwest direction. A police dog lost the scent of the robbers.
Mustafa Amireh said he was struck over the head as he was shutting off lights outside the store.

Rafael and Ryan Giggs netted either side of the interval to clinch a hard-fought win that took the Reds 15 points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
It was a battle, though, with the London side making life difficult for Sir Alex's men on a pitch that played havoc with United's fondness for fluid, passing football.
"We expected a tough game and we certainly got it, especailly in the first half," Carrick told MUTV. "The pitch was bouncy and bobbly and it's tight at the best of times here [at Loftus Road].
"It was just a case of adapting to the conditions and the context of the game, battling it out at times. I thought we did that well.
"Sometimes you have to do that. Throughout the season it's not always going to be pretty. Sometimes you have to grind out results, work hard and make the most of your opportunities.
"We were able to cope with QPR and, at times, we played some good football. At other times we defended well and played on the break. In the second half we controlled the game and created more chances.
"All in all I think we can be delighted with how the day's gone."
United opened the scoring on 23 minutes when Rafael ran onto a bouncing ball and sent a thunderous shot screaming into the top corner from 20 yards.
"A goal like that from Rafa put us in a great position," Carrick said. "I was right next to it. It was an unbelievable strike. It caught me by

ROTTERDAM, N.Y. – The Rotterdam Town Board heard proposals from EMS providers Thursday to become the primary emergency response team in the town, but board members said it will ultimately come down to quality of service.
Thursday night's presentations by Mohawk Ambulance & Rotterdam Emergency Medical Services drew a packed crowd and high emotions. At times, board members got a little hostile towards one another.
The board room was hot and packed out into the hallway. The meeting lasted nearly five hours and was attended by people eager to hear what EMS could look like in Rotterdam in 2014.
"I think we learned a lot of information tonight," Rotterdam Town Board supervisor Harry Buffardi said. "I certainly heard some things that are going to help me make up my mind as to how I'm going to vote."
REMS, whose been the primary EMS provider since the early 2000's, said its 44 employees will provide four ambulances dedicated to the town. REMS added it will fully staff two ambulances 24 hours a day all year long.
"I think we present a very good opportunity for the town of Rotterdam," REMS board member Dean Romano said. "To provide great EMS services for its citizens as it has for the last 77 years."
Mohawk touted its 33 ambulances, 250 employees, and committed to supply two fully staffed ambulances in Rotterdam all year during its presentation.
"We feel we delivered a very good proposal to provide the people of Rotterdam with the best possible service," Mohawk Vice President of Operations Rich Brandt said. "We feel they deserve that, and we stand by it."
Another difference between the two companies is the rates they charge for services.
REMS claimed to be able to save patients $250 per call based on patients' savings over the last contract period.
In years past, the town had to partially fund REMS for operations, but REMS said that has changed.
"We reinvented ourselves as an organization so we could pay off our debt and become sustainable," Romano said.
REMS said they will likely have to lay-off all 44 full- and part-time workers if Mohawk is chosen.
"Rotterdam EMS will not be able to survive if they do not have the call volume that is in the town of Rotterdam," Romano continued.
Two controversial issues were discussed during the meeting.
The first was whether or not REMS has the certification to operate on its own. Included in REMS bid proposal were copies of the certificates from the State of New York authorizing REMS to be able to fully perform the duties of an EMS provider in Rotterdam for both basic life support and advanced life support services.
The second was whether or not REMS owed the town money from when Rotterdam supplied paramedics capable of providing ALS services to REMS when the company was not certified to do so. Romano said they have never been given a bill by the Town of Rotterdam stating how much they owe, but he did say REMS will honor any credible costs that the town incurred while it provided paramedics with ALS services to REMS.
Whoever wins the bid will serve the town for the next five years.
The town board will meet December 11 to vote on which EMS provider they want to hire.

Samantha and Michael were an absolute pleasure to photograph. It was only two weeks before their wedding that we did the engagement session so the engagement and wedding felt like one big awesome shoot.
The groomsmen got ready at Michael's parents house up in Bolton and Samantha got ready at her parents' house in Stouffville. So I split up the team as usual and sent Christian to capture the guys getting ready as I concentrated on Samantha and her family. Both Samantha and Michael looked absolutely stunning and were glowing with love and happiness for one another.
The ceremony took place at the St. Patrick's Church in Brampton, a church that is especially dear to Michael's family since they have been attending it for years.
After the ceremony we headed over to Michael's parents gorgeous home for a wonderful catered lunch. We also had a chance to take some fantastic shots at the residence before heading to Bellvue Manor in Vaughan.
During the evening, guests were entertained not once but twice by the stunning girls of Samba Brasil Entertainment. I too found this part to be very entertaining
The evening wrapped out with a cake cutting and, off course, the bouquet and garter toss.
Samantha and Michael: Both of us had an absolutely wonderful time capturing your wedding and thank you for allowing us to share this day with the both of you. Once again congratulations and wish you all the best!

Two Supreme Court Cases Could Affect Victims of Violence
Apr 21, 2008
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases with implications for victims of domestic and sexual violence: Patrick Kennedy v. State of Louisiana; and Plains Commerce Bank v. Long Family Land & Cattle Co. Rulings are expected in both cases later this year.
Patrick Kennedy v. State of LouisianaSince 1964, only people convicted of murder have been executed in the United States. In 1977, the Supreme Court prohibited the death penalty in cases where an adult is raped. In Patrick Kennedy v. State of Louisiana, the Court may decide whether a person who rapes a child also can be sentenced to death.
In 1998, Patrick Kennedy was convicted of the brutal rape of his then-eight-year-old stepdaughter. Court documents reveal that the child required surgery as a result of the assault. Louisiana is one of five states that have adopted laws allowing executions of people who rape children, and in 2004 Kennedy was sentenced to death. Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas have similar laws on the books, and other states are considering them. In this case, the Supreme Court may decide whether those state laws can stand.
Over the past several decades, the Supreme Court has interpreted society's "evolving standards of decency" to limit use of the death penalty, removing juveniles, people with mental retardation, and adult rapists from death rows. Louisiana officials argue that the same "evolving standards of decency" that tightened restrictions for sentencing a person to death also dictate harsher punishment for criminals who violate children.
A coalition of violence prevention experts, service providers and social workers is asking the Court to disallow the use of the death penalty in cases of child rape, saying allowing executions of child rapists would compound the harm to the victim. The National Association of Social Workers and its Louisiana Chapter, Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault, National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault, New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and Texas Association Against Sexual Assault filed an amicus brief in support of Patrick Kennedy.
In the brief, they warn that allowing child rapists to be sentenced to death may discourage reporting because sexual assaults against children are often committed by family members or friends who would hesitate to turn in someone they know if doing so can result in that person being executed.
The brief also warns that equalizing penalties for child rape and murder may encourage abusers to kill their victims.
The groups also argue that, "The trauma caused by the extensive trial process itself and the prolonged notoriety the case will generate will be even more severe and long-lasting, greatly hindering the healing process" for the victim. It continues, "Imposing the same penalty for child rape as for murder will signal to child rape victims that society believes them to be as irreparably harmed as murder victims."

Plains Commerce Bank v. Long Family Land & Cattle Co.Plains Commerce Bank v. Long Family Land & Cattle Co. reviews tribal court jurisdiction concerning non-Indians entering into consensual relationships with Indians on reservation land. Although the case concerns a business dispute, advocates fear that the Supreme Court's decision could broadly undermine tribal authority over perpetrators of domestic violence.
Many non-Indians live on reservation land and have consensual domestic relations with Native women who live in tribal communities. Some commit domestic violence. Indian tribes lack criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians and rely on their civil authority to protect women and girls. This civil authority is especially critical when the nearest state court sits hundreds of miles from the homes and communities where victims live.
Fifty organizations, including Sacred Circle, the National Resource Center to End Violence Against Native Women and the Family Violence Prevention Fund, filed an amicus brief designed to inform the Supreme Court of the broad unintended consequences this case may have, and what is at stake regarding the safety of Indian women.
Thirty members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians attended the oral arguments, to underscore their concern about how the ruling will affect the safety of Native women. Terri Henry, Principal Director of Clan Star, Inc., said, "It is well documented that Native women are victims of violence at far greater rates than any other populations of women in the United States. Violence committed by non-Indians against Native women is a national crisis. This case threatens to remove the only legal protection Native women have."

house rental amenities
The house enjoys a very convenient location. A short 5 minute drive gets you on to the Interstate and a 10 minute drive gets you downtown. It takes about two hours to get to Disney, about 40 minutes to Busch Gardens and around 25 minutes to St Pete Beach. The local area has more attractions than I can list here but some of note are; The Dali Museum, The Florida Aquarium, The Museum of Science and Industry, Lowry Park Zoo, Fort Desoto National Park as well a annual events like the St Petersburg Grand Prix and Gasparilla. We have many top sports franchises like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and The Lightning Ice Hockey Team. In St Petersburg we enjoy First Friday which is a free open air concert downtown every First Friday of the month where you can hang out with the locals and get a taste of living in the City while at the same time getting a taste for the local restaurant scene which has many cultural influences. Outside on the wooden deck you will find a gas barbecue grill which you are more than welcome to use. To ensure you get the most from the gas bottle (not included in the rental fee) please try to remember to turn it off after each cook out as this stops the gas leaking gradually over time. In the garden underneath the Oak tree, who's name is Oscar, you will find a picnic bench which is useful for eating and drinking outside and for enjoying the evening time as the sun goes down. On the small brick patio area next to the deck there is a Well Water Pump and associated timer. This is for the irrigation system and should not be operated by the guest as the system can only be used when allowed by the City of St Petersburg and the timer ensures that the regulations are complied with. The Garden Shed is for maintenance use and once every two weeks a maintenance man will visit the home to take care of the lawn and Garden and answer any maintenance related questions.

Aviators welcome. The house is located within a 10 minute drive to the Albert Whitted Municipal Airport. From here you can plan your Flight Training Vacation and should be able to complete your U.S. Private Pilots License within Three to Four weeks. I have many contacts at the Airport who will personally guide you through the Training Process and if you happen to be in town at the same time as me, I can fly with you as a Certified Flight Instructor. You can rent a C-172 for approximately $96 per hour after joining the club and you can also fly a Garmin G1000 172 that comes with air conditioning. The flying here is very straight forward and a short flight across the Bay gets you into Uncontrolled Airspace where you can conduct all of your maneuvers without distraction. For the more advanced Pilots, you can fly Instrument Approaches (without cost) to Tampa International, Sarasota International and Clearwater International Airports while gaining valuable experience in a busy and demanding Radar Vectoring environment.
Weigh the Anchor. The St Petersburg area has many Marinas and Boating facilities. The Sailing Florida Charters & Sailing School, Inc has everything that a Sailor could want for a vacation on the waves and just like most everything else, it is situated within a short drive from your vacation home. They have two very convenient locations as follows: Vinoy Resort Marina, 501 Fifth Avenue NE, St. Petersburg, FL and The Harborage Marina, 1110 Third Street south, St. Petersburg, FL. If it is Offshore Sailing that you are into then, Steve and Doris Colgate's Offshore Sailing School is probably for you. Also located at the Harborage Marina it offers too many options for me to list here but rest assured, within this idyllic part of the world you will enjoy a Sailing Vacation to remember.
Fishing Frenzy. Try to imagine a Fishing Trip where you catch Fish so big, they almost drag you off the side of the Boat. On top of that, you will be able to take the catch home and cook up a wonderful seafood dinner for your friends and family on the gas grill provided at your vacation home. The Offshore Grouper Fishing is the best anywhere and if you like the more exotic species like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Shark, Snapper, Amberjack, Tarpon, Kingfish, Snook, Redfish, Permit, Cobia, then look no further than the St Johns Pass Marina. To get there will require a 30 minute drive from St Petersburg but once you arrive, Go Fish Hardcore Offshore Fishing Charters will have your arms aching in no time at all. If you happen to catch more than you can handle, please put them in the freezer for me to eat when I manage to get back home.
Fore. Florida is a very popular destination for Golfers, especially in the winter months. There are many Public Courses in the area along with Exclusive Clubs that have short term memberships available. The house is literally next door to the Renaissance Vinoy Resort Golf Club which is sometimes open to the public. One very popular Par 72 Championship 18 hole facility which happens to be located less than five miles away from your vacation rental, is called the Mangrove Bay Golf Course. It is my favorite golf course as it offers the casual golfer a chance to practice on the driving range, make plenty of practice pitch and puts and sand trap shots for just a few Dollars. The course presents a challenge for the long hitting, more advanced player while novices like me can gain confidence and experience from the forgiving fairways. There is a set of clubs at the house for anyone to use if they decide not to bring there own with them. There is no charge for this but, I ask that you clean them after use.
vacation rental rates
The house is not available for short term rental and we concider the minimum stay to be one month. The montly rate can be adjusted for any combination of days, weeks and months following the first month. Please contact me with your needs. I will concider all requests.

COAL CITY, Ill. -- The only two elephants in Illinois could soon be moving out of the state.
The Niabi Zoo in Rock Island County has two elephants, Babe and Sophie. Alan Roocroft, a zoo consultant hired by the county board, is calling for the Asian elephants to be moved because of their age and the condition of their winter quarters at the zoo.
"It's when the winter months set in and they have to be more and more in a small room, a large animal like that doesn't do very well," Roocroft says.
The consultant recommends the elephants be moved together. An official of the Peoria Park district says while the Peoria Zoo has an Africa exhibit, moving the elephants here is not an option.

By Matt Wright - bio | emailPosted by Nick Dutton - email
TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - As identity theft cases skyrocket, more people are turning to identity theft protection services.
Elaine Lidholm, a consumer affairs expert, says one of the main advantages of the groups is that they can quickly alert someone that their identity has been compromised.
While the services can be helpful, the Consumer Federation of America says consumers do not always get what they pay for.
In fact, Lidholm says that no person or service can absolutely promise to protect someone 100 percent of the time from identity theft. "It would be wonderful if they could but it is just not realistic."
However, something is being done to combat the problem. Identity theft task forces, joint efforts between the U.S. Postal Service and other law enforcement agencies, are popping up across the country.
"We get an early leg up on the bad guys when they are in this area operating because we talk to the financial institutions and we are also working the cases jointly between all area law enforcement," said postal inspector David McGinnis.
The task force recommends five tips:
1. Review your credit report annually.
2. Promptly remove mail from your mailbox. You should always mail checks and bills from the post office instead of your mailbox.
3. Keep up with your bank statements and reconcile them with your receipts. Then shred those receipts, along with unnecessary financial documents.
4. Never give out your personal information unless you have initiated the contact.
5. If you are considering an identity theft protection service, look for one that is backed by Equifax, Experian or TransUnion and carefully read the contract terms and conditions.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
A small southern Arizona company is making waves around the world. Hydronalix is designing remote-controlled, unmanned boats that are changing the way the world looks at the seas, and at hurricanes.
What these boats are being developed to do is expected to save lives and money, and we could see them in action very soon.
They might not be huge -- in fact, they're tiny -- but the information they some day might provide will be monumental.
"It's to protect people and property," explains Hydronalix Vice President of Ocean and Marine Sensing Rori Marston.
Hydronalix is headquartered in Sahuarita, just south of Tucson.
It has a contract with NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to use the unmanned boats to help learn to predict hurricane behavior.
NOAA scientists need key information, no one has now.
"A hurricane can go from a category one to a category three in 16 hours in an unpredictable way," says Dr. Russ Chadwick of NOAA.
The hope is that the technology-filled boats will give NOAA what it needs to predict that sudden change.
"Save lives, give better, shorter warning times for hurricane intensification. That's the key item. Shorter warning times," says Chadwick.
Sounds easy enough, but we're talking about sending the boats into hurricanes.
"What we're going to have to be able to do is sustain and go through very high winds, very rough seas. It's got to go for half-a-dozen or more days, and we have to be able to control it from satellites and from ground," Marston says.
So far, NOAA has provided $300,000 for the project.
The scientists say a call to evacuate brings costs of about one million dollars per mile of coastline.
Call it wrong, and it's money that could have been spent someplace else.
"On the other hand, if you don't evacuate enough coastal area, you've got a hazard to coastal residents," says Chadwick.
He says with proper funding, in just a few years, scientists could have the data they need to quickly and accurately predict what a hurricane will do.
For now, testing the boats will be moving from lakes to the hazards of the ocean.
The hurricane boats are not the only way Hydronalix is making a name for itself.
Its high-tech boats also can be used to reel in ocean-going fish poachers, and to map the bottoms of bodies of water. They've even found sunken ships.
