In this study, we synthesized the new kinds of semiconducting polymeric gels having negative (n-type) and positive (p-type) counter ions as charge carriers. The polyacrylamide gel was doped with pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, trisodium salt), having \( {\text{SO}}_{3}^{ - } \) ions as side groups and Na+ as counter ions, so-called p-type semiconducting gel. The doping process was performed during the polymerization where the pyranine binds to the polymer strands over OH group chemically via radical addition. In a similar way, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) gel was doped with methacrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (MAPTAC), having Cl− as counter ions, so-called n-type semiconducting gel. Here MAPTAC was embedded by copolymerization within the polymer network (NIPA). These semiconducting gels can show different electrical properties by changing the concentration of the doping agents, swelling ratio etc. We have shown that the pn junction, formed by combining p-type and n-type gels together in close contact, rectifies the current similar to the conventional Si and Ge diodes.

Get an iPhone 4S Unlocked with No Contract Early
So Apple decided to only allow people to pre-order the iPhone 4S with a 2 year service contract. If you were like a lot of people and stayed up late last night to pre-order an unlocked iPhone 4S with no contract only to find out Apple will not sell it to you, then here is how to get it early.
Apple posted on their website that they will not sell no contract unlocked iPhone 4S's until November. If you are not eligible for an upgrade, would prefer not to sign a contract with a carrier, or are a T-Mobile customer who wants an iPhone 4S early this is how you can get it.
Head over to Verizon's website and click on pre-order iPhone 4S. Select new customer, enter your zip code, and then click buy device with service. (Please note that we are not signing a 2 year contract, only month to month.) Next select individual or business account. You will then see in red, pricing for 2-year contact. Change this to Month-to-Month. You can now select which iPhone 4S you want at the full price. 16GB is $649, 32GB is $749, and 64GB is $849.
It will then Ask you to select a service plan, select individual and choose the cheapest monthly payment possible. (Don't worry we will not be paying monthly, because we will not activate the iPhone 4S when we get it, or cancel service right when we get it.)
Please note that there are still a few questions that I have and I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone.
Q. Will the iPhone 4s from Verizon be unlocked to use on T-Mobile USA or anywhere else in the world?
a. Apple announced that the iPhone 4S was a world phone and would be unlocked to work everywhere, but We are getting reports that this may be different in the US until November.
Q. Will I get charged for 1 month of service?
a. Possibly, you may be able to get away without activating it or you can possibly cancel the service right away and have them just bill you for the iPhone 4s.
So worst case scenario is that if this does not work you can get a full refund if you cancel within 3 days I think. You will then just have to wait to get an Unlocked iPhone 4S from Apple in November. If you have any other questions or ideas please let us know.

Are you getting the error message The error was: "The operation couldn't be completed. Invalid argument"? It appears that iOS 5 Beta 7 has hidden the edge settings on all iPhones, even officially unlocked ones. I did a fresh restore to iOS beta 7 on my factory unlocked iPhone with a T-Mobile sim in. There is no way for me to edit my edge settings so that I can get internet.
In order to fix this you will have to jailbreak your iPhone with RedSn0w. What a pain. Apple needs to fix this before the official release of iOS 5 comes out.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it only me? Let us know in the comments.

No one disputes that BPA is toxic at high levels of exposure. Experts are divided over whether BPA at the low levels found in foods poses significant risks to human health.FSANZ, in line with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The UK Food Standards Agency, and other national food regulators, maintains that the safe level of the chemical to ingest is 50 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. None of the foods we tested delivers more than 10% of this amount per serving. But a number of independent scientists recently expressed concern that this limit is based on experiments done in the 1980s, rather than on the hundreds of recent animal and laboratory studies that suggest we could be at risk from much lower doses.
There's growing evidence to suggest exposure to low levels of BPA may be linked to an alarmingly diverse list of illnesses such as infertility, obesity, breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, thyroid malfunction and attention deficit disorder.
Some critics of the current high safety limit also challenge a core assumption made by food regulators that experiments with high doses will necessarily reveal potential hazards from low doses. This assumption originates from the work of the 16th century toxicologist Paracelus, whose dictum "the dose makes the poison" (implying that even toxic substances can be safe as long as the dose remains below a certain threshold) is still a bedrock principle for toxicologists.Decades of research in endocrinology has consistently shown that hormonally active compounds can cause effects at low doses opposite to those at high doses. So with endocrine disruptors such as BPA, a low dose can be worse than a higher size dose. While the evidence for lowdose effects from BPA is far from conclusive, there's now far too much of it to be ignored.

Laundromat vs. Appliance Repair
Laundromats have popped up on just about every block in Brooklyn and observing people lugging seemingly endless sacks of clothes to and from has become a norm. Luckily, customers of Superior Appliance don't have to worry about rushing to the Laundromat when issues arise with their washer or dryer. Is repairing your washer or dryer really the way to go? Just a quick look at some issues with Laundromats makes the decision to finally get that washer or dryer fixed easy!
Lets start with something simple; the laundromat is not in your apartment building. This means everything you want cleaned has to be packed up and moved (yes, by hand) to the nearest laundromat location. On the other hand, instead of waiting for a massive stockpile of dirty linen you can save time by leisurely washing and drying at home. Ease and access, however, aren't going to convince everyone to shell out the money to repair their washer or dryer. The real decision maker is the economic value! The average cost of one load at the laundromat is at $3.00 and counting, while the energy consumed for a load at home is only a third of that; a savings of $2.00 per load.
Looking at the math, even for just a moment, it becomes clear that the upfront cost of repairing an appliance is dwarfed by the long term economic effect of the laundromat. If the economic and time reasoning still doesn't do it for you, perhaps the constant threat of bed bugs will initiate that much needed repair call.
Want to keep out of the laundromat? Look for updates on this blog for the best tips on appliance repair!

No information on the name of his father or mother, but he stated he lived with a family in Arkansas by the name of Montgomery. We can pick him up in the 1910 census in Hamilton County Texas and have a marriage license to Clara Rebecca Wood in 1904 in Sommerville Co., Texas. He had a half sister who died within a few years of his marriage to Clara. Don't know her surname. |

Note on Maximal Bisection above Tight Lower Bound AbstractIn a graph $G=(V,E)$, a bisection $(X,Y)$ is a partition of $V$ into sets $X$ and $Y$ such that $|X|\le |Y|\le |X|+1$. The size of $(X,Y)$ is the number of edges between $X$ and $Y$. In the Max Bisection problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and are required to find a bisection of maximum size. It is not hard to see that $\lceil |E|/2 \rceil$ is a tight lower bound on the maximum size of a bisection of $G$. We study parameterized complexity of the following parameterized problem called Max Bisection above Tight Lower Bound (Max-Bisec-ATLB): decide whether a graph $G=(V,E)$ has a bisection of size at least $\lceil |E|/2 \rceil+k,$ where $k$ is the parameter. We show that this parameterized problem has a kernel with $O(k^2)$ vertices and $O(k^3)$ edges, i.e., every instance of Max-Bisec-ATLB is equivalent to an instance of Max-Bisec-ATLB on a graph with at most $O(k^2)$ vertices and $O(k^3)$ edges.

Today we're catching up with Timothy J. Ness, M.D., Ph.D., the Simon Gelman Endowed Professor of
**Editor's Note: We
just learned that Dr. Ness has been elected to the Board of Directors of the American
Pain Society. Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved honor.
Dr. Timothy Ness has spent nearly 30 years studying acute
and chronic pain, focusing his research on urologic-gastroenterologic pain. In
his most recent study [An EndogenousPain Control System is Altered in Subjects with Interstitial Cystitis published
in the February 2014 Journal of Urology], he and his collaborators have found a
difference in the pain experienced by participants suffering from bladder pain syndrome—or
interstitial cystitis—and that of healthy control subjects, aligning bladder-pain
subjects with certain other chronic pain sufferers.
The researchers asked participants to rate their pain in a
variety of instances, including while experiencing heat applied to their ankle,
with their forearm wrapped tightly as in a tourniquet, and while immersing
their hand in ice water. Later, ice water and then heat were applied to
determine pain tolerance. In a normal, healthy body, pain control systems step
in to manage new stimuli. This is known as conditioned pain modulation—it's a
protective mechanism that enables the body to avoid feeling too much all at
once. But subjects with interstitial cystitis couldn't take it: They felt pain
with no relief, no modulation. In fact, in some cases, their pain could even be
The results show that bladder-pain subjects and sufferers of
chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome share
a similar lack of pain modulation, as well as suggest that the body's inability
to control pain contributes to the disorders. And for Dr. Ness, the
hypersensitivity displayed by the patients suffering from bladder pain syndrome
is among his primary concerns.
Through this and other research, Dr. Ness and his
collaborators, including Meredith Robbins, Ph.D., and Alan Randich, Ph.D., are
interested in getting to the root of visceral hypersensitivity. "What primed
their systems?" Dr. Ness asks. Among the findings he and others have uncovered
is the instance of bladder infections before age 5 in subjects with
interstitial cystitis. While development of the central nervous system is
taking place in childhood, an infection or other trauma may lay the groundwork
for this disorder, and when another trigger (inflammation, stress, or another
event) occurs later in life, hypersensitivity and lack of pain modulation can occur.
His other bailiwick is developing standard models for
studying visceral pain. Whether measuring psychophysical responses in humans or
rodents, the translational nature of research requires that there are reliable
models in place. "There are a lot of bad models out there that aren't
predictive," he says. "We don't have very good models of chronic pain. So the
goal of our lab is to create good models."
Dr. Ness has collaborated on more than 150 research studies and been awarded 25 grants. He offers this piece of
advice for prospective researchers interested in pursuing a similar career
path: NIH funding is dependent on research that is clinically significant. "Pain
is always clinically significant," Dr. Ness says. "Every person has experienced
it in some form. And we can always manage it better."
Timothy J. Ness, M.D.,
Ph.D., joined the UAB Department of Anesthesiology in 1995, after completing a
pain medicine fellowship and serving as an associate at the University of Iowa
College of Medicine. He is a member of the American Society for Regional
Anesthesia, the International Anesthesia Research Society, and the American
Pain Society, among others. For more information about his lab, see this link. To view his research publications, see PubMed.

@nony - I was a juror once at a murder trial. The defense attorney argued that some of the crime scene forensics had been compromised because it had been improperly handled.
It was amazing how they were able to point out the most minute faults in evidence collection, which left doubts in the minds of the jurors as to whether there had been tampering with the evidence.
I don't believe there was, but other jurors did. You can't afford to mess up if you want to become a crime scene investigator. If you do, you basically hand the defense its strongest argument.

Of course Khloe is worried sick about her struggling husband's health, but a source close to the reality star tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that this unfortunate episode has also left her infuriated.
When Khloe Kardashian first met Lamar Odom he was at the top of his game, now it seems as though his ambitions have been tossed out of the window. And that may be the most aggravating part of this whole mess.
Why Khloe Kardashian Is So Frustrated With Lamar Odom
It seems like Khloe's done all that she can to help her troubled husband Lamar, who is still adamant that he doesn't have a drug problem. But aside from the denial, the lies, and the emotional distance Lamar has created, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Khloe is most bothered by the fact that he's knowingly throwing his career away.
"She's severely disappointed in him for not taking his life seriously," says the source. "He's been fortunate to play in the NBA. Do you know how many guys dream of that? It's a gift, Khloe told him, and it's like he's blowing it off and she's pissed."
In addition to throwing his dreams out the window, Lamar's health is in major jeopardy if he continues abusing drugs.
"She doesn't want her man to die and she's fighting to save their marriage," the source says. "She's a strong woman though, out there putting on a brave face for the world while her husband is spiraling out of control."
Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom's Wedding Anniversary
Khloe and Lamar's fourth wedding anniversary is coming up — but what should be a time of celebration may end up being a time of tears!
"If Khloe could have anything for her anniversary, it would be for Lamar to once and for all go to rehab," another insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "Initially Khloe had mentioned taking a romantic vacation in the tropics to celebrate their anniversary."
"She thinks Lamar will eventually come to his senses and realize what he's been missing. I don't think she fully realizes that his addiction has nothing to do with her — it's a disease of the mind, body and spirit. And it's genetic," explains the source. "I think Lamar is still in denial about the severity of his addiction."
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers, is Lamar throwing his life away? Would you be upset if your boyfriend was not taking his life seriously?

Can Khloe ever be trusted especially since she is the god mother of mason. dear lord *rolling eyes*
Posted at 3:20 PM on September 15, 2013
how can she be disapointed he is throwing his life away when she knew from day 1 he had drug addiction problems and was a serial cheater? did she mistake crack for spiniach??!! khloe put all her mom ever taught her on the back burner because i know she KNEW BETTER, but she ignored her better judgement. she then hides the real truth of who he REALLY is from her family rushing to get married…and she is SHOCKED at the state his CAREER and her MARRIAGE is in??!!! really khloe??? i dont believe she is disappointed nor shocked. i believe what she told her self, who lamar IS- is manageable and will be kept under control, and no one would ever find out (thinking she would never have to spill the beans to a soul while living a lie) has now manifested into full blown hood rat drugging central! its so out of control she cant manage him, he cant manage himself and now khloe cant manage HER SELF without her familys support!!! she took a risk made it secret running with it and she cant blame anyone but herself. NOW her family is being dragged down because she cant shake the drug addict? if khloe was my sister i would be pissed, worried and in a lot of pain. i wold not allow that POS anywhere near my home or kids. I AS A FAN AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN KHLOE. SHE HAS DISAPPOINTED AND LET HER FAMILY DOWN and all the while she has a nerve to stick to her guns. wow.
Posted at 2:08 AM on September 15, 2013
lamar has gotten himself a one way ticket to "NO WHERE" and if that dude had 60 million how does it make it ok? he is trash. trash is trash. he is not good for anyone. his kids wife gfs the list goes on. he is nothing but trouble for the nba. people keep harping on this money he has but that is beside the point unless you are terminally tarded. im curious to know how that rich soil line he has is going… who the hell would buy into that weak freak clothing line. just another sham. lamar prob got most of his money from ripping off that non profit organization thing he was behind man that guy lamar is slippery and now he gots an accomplice…khloe. rob has been depressed and over weight since living at khloes. whats up with that? rob was not like that until lamar came around.

Khole has no money all their money is locked into the show. Sears brand dose not sell and is sent back to warehouses. Dash is a joke and makes no money. Their brand is not existent, Their makeup co they slapped their name on sued them and won! Khole has no money however she will get paid millions in a divorce settlement if the lies spread by herself and Pmamakris result in endorsers pulling out and the NBA not picking him up for a team.
Now you know the motivation for the drug lies being spread to every media outlet.

Lamar has had a career way before Khloe. He doesn't need her money. Why would Lamar risk having to pay out a lot of money to Khloe in the prenup if he cheats on her? I don't think any man would risk that. If Lamar was on drugs that bad his career would have been over. All of these lies are killing Lamar's career. Nothing but lies!!!!!!!

you cant change the spots on a cheetah, cant teach an old dog new tricks and you HOWEVER you can take the rat out of the hood but you cannot take the hood out of the rat. especially when you knew this person was hood rat drugging cheating living a lie from the beginning. you cant fix something that just is. you cant. lamar is a lost cause whos true self/double life has been kept private and some people are just *ucked naturally and by their environment growing up. lamar got lucky on the lakers and threw it all away. he was fortunate to be accepted and loved by khloe and her family and the threw that away. people who are peranmantly *ucked up cant be changed, asked to change or told to changed. the only people that have NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE A CHOICE TO change is everyone else choosing to surround lamar…for they have to choose to go against their better judgement and turn a blind eye to the seedy life he really lives and upholds. thats just sick and pathetic. that can drive anyone crazy. yack!! there are so many people in l.a. that take drugs and the one thing i pride myself in is not having the desire/knowing better not to go there. i have gone out with some hot guys, some actors or what not and as soon as the drug thing pops up im out of there. but thats just me. if you lose your inner voice in a toxic relationship you cannot expect any good to come from it no matter how hard you fight, fake, or hide it.

Khloe has millions of her own money; she is famous; is very close with her family; is an astute businesswoman and looks great. Why in the world would she want to stay with a loser husband who is on drugs; cheats; has a questionable family life and friends who hang on for handouts? He was a catch when she met him. Now he is a joke. She needs to move on with her life! I am all for helping someone, but when they start playing with skanks – it is time to look after yourself.
just sayin'

Khole has no money now the brand is in the toilet the KUWTK is going to be cancelled. They need the money their Baby Daddies, and husband's make. They can sue Lamar is a team doesn't pick him up cause of the drama PMK and Khole have been spreading to the tabs which are lies. They can also sue if he doesn't get picked up by a team and win millions!!! It's called marital dispensation.
Total B.S. Khloe is mad about Lamar's future alright, his future income. The prenup that they signed states that Lamar buy their home, which Khloe spent over 5 million dollars of Lamar's money on. Then there is the joint bank account set up, and boy is it a set up. Because Khloe has full access to it and only Lamar puts money into it, in addition to all that she gets a large amount of spending money each month from Lamar, she gets a new high end car each time her car lease is up paid by Lamar. Khloe and Kris robbed this poor guy blind and he didn't see it coming. He needs help alright, help from an attorney, and not one that the Kardashions lead him by the nose to.

Miss Khloe is no one to be "pissed off" about Lamar not returning to his basketball career. She and her big mouth, meddling, and advertising his issue to his teammates and managers, plus all over every media site, tabloid and web site she could find have made it all but impossible for him to be invited to join another team. She can't have her cake and eat it too. She's as much to blame for hurting his career as he has been. She has tried to mother Lamar, coddle him, run his affairs, and make decisions for him the same as her mother always does with men, and he resented it from the start.Too bad he didn't move far away from the K family, and maybe he and Khloe would have had more of a chance as a couple.

What is Sumí-e?
Sumí-e is a Japanese word for "black ink (sumí), and painting" (e). What is called sumí-e is the oriental art form of pictures created in black ink. More than a technique; it is an art form that strives to "distill the essence of an object in the fewest possible strokes." In creating a sumí-e brush painting, the artist must grasp the spirit of the subject. Balance, rhythm, simplicity, and harmony are the qualities the artist strives for by developing patience, self-discipline and concentration. The goal of the artist is to use the brush with both energy and restraint. Simplicity is the most outstanding characteristic of sumí-e. Working in one color, (the Asian rainbow of seven
shades), this centuries-old traditional art form presents a unique expression of the everyday world felt within the artist.
Does Oriental Brush Painting differ from Sumí-e?
Philosophy and symbolism play a large role in oriental art. Both these centuries-old art forms of sumí-e and oriental brush painting blend simplicity and traditional oriental spirit in a technique where an object is more than represented; it is a symbolic expression. It is both a contemplative and complex approach of brushstrokes painted without previous planning or sketching resulting in a painting appearing simplistic. This is an important element in brush painting. With color introduced to these creations, a sense of perspective is intimated through varying degrees of ink and color.

Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women provide its global community of Representatives, Associates and customers in more that 50 countries with information, tools and resources to help them mobilize their networks to support causes they care about. The result is a global scope with tangible impact at the local level, often through partnerships, programming and advocacy efforts that support the global mission to help eradicate breast cancer and violence against women.
Avon South Africa supports UNIFEM's "Safer Cities" program in South Africa, and aims to reduce and prevent gender-based violence by developing urban spaces that promote the rights of women and advocating for public policies to recognize these rights. The Avon South Africa iThemba Crusade of Hope program partnered with Breast Health Foundation and Curves to launch the first Mobile Breast Health Education Unit in the Western Cape in 2010.
Avon Saudi Arabia partnered with Zahra Breast Cancer Association to organize the first female Avon Breast Cancer Walk in Saudi Arabia in 2010. More than 6,000 women walked proudly together to raise awareness for the breast cancer cause. To help raise awareness, Avon Saudi Arabia Associates and friends created the world's largest human pink ribbon.
Avon India reached more than 1.5 million people with a multi-part campaign in 2010 that was designed to chip away at the lack of awareness, which is believed to be the leading cause of death in breast cancer cases in India. Through the sale of pink ribbon products, Avon India raised more than $80,000 from 2008 to 2010, and the funds have been donated to the Cancer Patients Aid Association.
Avon Philippines partners with the Women's Crisis Center to support a domestic violence hotline. Avon's contributions have resulted in a 30 percent increase in phone counseling sessions and have built the capacity of WCC to provide legal and medical referrals and temporary shelter for victims.
Avon Taiwan offers free mammograms and breast cancer-related educational activities at Avon Service Centers nationwide to raise awareness about the disease and educate women about the importance of routine examinations.
Avon Croatia conducts a mobile mammography tour each year. In the first year, 77 percent of the 850 women examined received a mammogram for the first time. In 2011, the Avon Walk for Life launched in the capital city of Zagreb to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer.
Avon Hungary hosted its 8th annual Walk for Life in 2010 in the heart of Budapest and broke previous attendance records, with 10,000 walkers participating, including more than 3,000 Avon Sales Leaders and Representatives. The walk was followed by a concert and family programs, and the event raised a total of U.S. $270,000 for the Hungarian Cancer League.
Avon Serbia conducts a "We Need Each Other" campaign and provides vouchers good for a free breast cancer screening for two people, so women can go for a screening with a friend, sister or mother.
Avon Slovenia collaborated with Women's Counseling Service to launch a mobile counseling service, helping counselors provide education and support to victims of domestic violence in remote areas of the country.
Avon Spain partners with Fundacion Mujer to develop educational materials to teach gender-equality in schools, and also supports Florencia Foundation, a local shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
Avon U.K. supports several annual events, including the Crazy Hats walk, which reached its first £1 million in 2010, including a donation from Avon of £20,000 to purchase a new van to support breast cancer patients in the local community of Northampton, where Avon is based. Avon UK Sales Representatives also hosted two Crocus Walks in aid of longstanding charity partner Breakthrough Breast Cancer. In 2010, Avon UK associates and their partner, Refuge, presented to members of Parliament a petition for increased support for domestic violence services.
Avon Brazil received government recognition for its support of the groundbreaking Maria da Penha Act, which classifies domestic violence as a human rights violation, provides a new measure of protection for women in danger and requires the active participation of law enforcement and justice officials. In the breast cancer area, Avon Brazil has also donated more than $5 million to Barretos Cancer hospital, beginning with funds for the hospital's first mobile mammography unit in 2002, and in 2010 more than $1 million was donated to help support the Avon Institute Breast Cancer Prevention Center.
Avon Chile financed a 2010 citizens' action program "Young Leaders For Non-violence Against Women," developed by Centro de Desarrollo para la Mujer Domos (Women's Development Center, DOMOS) through the first competitive grant awarded in Chile by the Avon Speak Out Against Domestic Violence/UNIFEM program.

@Moldova - I agree and I wanted to ask why the material was flammable? I don't understand why the Hindenburg blimp was not made of another type of material.
I guess when you look back at a tragedy like this you always have unanswered questions. No one ever wants to think that something like this would happen and I guess hindsight is 20/20.
It is just like the Titanic was dubbed, "Unsinkable Ship" that sank and killed over a thousand people. With the Titanic disaster at least we developed safety regulations that required all passengers to hear a safety drill on board every ship which included wearing a safety vest and learning what to do in case of an emergency.

ALBANY, NY — Fourteen goals and a shattered pane of glass later, the Albany Devils claimed an 8-6 victory against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers Saturday at Times Union Center. Six Devils registered multi-point games; Stefan Matteau, Mike Sislo and Tim Sestito led all scorers. Matteau and Sislo both registered two goals and an assist and Sestito recorded a goal and two helpers.
Reece Scarlett posted a goal and an assist. Reid Boucher and Chris McKelvie also scored, while Dan Kelly and Kelly Zajac both registered a pair of helpers.
The Devils eight goals tied a franchise record, which was also accomplished against Providence (8-1) on Dec. 27, 2008.
"I just told the guys, we don't need any more of those games for a long time," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky. "We were on the right side of it.
"I did like that we scored some goals and responded even though they kept coming back. For whatever reason, this weekend we just were not as tight as we've been in our defensive zone, so we're going to have to correct that. But again, find a way to score goals and get three or four points."
Raman Hrabarenka's body check, which demolished a pane of glass near the Sound Tigers bench, sent both teams to an early second intermission. When play resumed, Bridgeport's Matt Donovan tied the game, 5-5, at 16:30 of the middle period.
(WATCH: Hrabarenka's glass-shattering hit)
Matteau scored his first goal of the night — a power-play tally — at 19:41 and netted the eventual game-winner, unassisted, at 5:40.
"I just saw the puck popped out, the defense just kind of mishandled it and it blew right by them," Matteau said of his second goal and fourth of the season. "It froze the goalie and I went around him. When you work hard, good things happen."
Albany trailed 3-1 early in first until Boucher netted his team-leading 10th goal of the season at 15:20 of the first period. Before the break, Sestito scored at 16:06 and Scarlett netted his second in as many games at 19:57.
After Bridgeport's Alan Quine scored at 4:24 of the middle frame, Sislo netted his second of the game at 9:15. The Sound Tigers followed with a pair, which was countered by Matteau's back-to-back goals.
McKelvie made the score 8-5 at 12:26 and Bridgeport's Nick Larson capped the scoring at 12:32.
Albany, which owned a 32-15 shot advantage, went 3-6 on the power play and 2-3 on the penalty kill.
"We try not to repeat bad things and we try to repeat what gets us two points," Matteau said. "Defensively we gave up a lot of goals, but offensively it was one of our better games with eight goals."
Albany concludes its stretch of six straight divisional games Wednesday when they welcome the Springfield Falcons to Times Union Center for a 7 pm contest. Fans can stream the game online at ahllive.com or listen on 104.5 "The Team" ESPN Radio.

Ron Chenoy/US PresswireFlorida catcher Mike Zunino is solidifying his status as an early first-round pick.
I saw Florida host Vanderbilt on Saturday under the broiler at McKetchan Field, and Florida's top three draft prospects for this year all played well, led by catcher Mike Zunino. He is one of the top two college position players in this draft, along with Arizona State shortstop Deven Marrero; both play premium positions in the middle of the field and project to stay there in pro ball while providing above-average offense for their positions. Zunino's swing isn't entirely conventional, but it works. He has a slight drift but keeps his weight back enough to drive the ball; his real asset at the plate is his hands, strong and quick, giving him the ability to go to all fields, and, combined with good leverage from proper hip rotation, at least future-average power. Vanderbilt didn't have the baserunners to test Zunino's arm, but his throws in infield practice and warm-ups showed enough strength for him to stay behind the plate, and he had no trouble receiving the heavy diet of off-speed stuff served up by Brian Johnson. It also looked as if Zunino and Johnson were calling the game themselves -- Zunino didn't look into the dugout to get the signs -- which would be a positive for both players if correct. Zunino's approach is sound, and even if he ends up with average hit and power tools, that's an above-average major league regular behind the plate. He's a lock to go in the top five picks.

AUBURN, Ala. – Amtrak's chief of police and program manager are the first individuals to be recognized by the Auburn University Canine Detection Research Institute (CDRI) for their enduring contributions to canine detection.
Shown are Associate Director of the Auburn University Canine Detection Research Institute John Pearce, Amtrak Canine Program Manager William Parker, Amtrak Police Chief John O'Connor, and Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine Dean Tim Boosinger.
Amtrak Police Chief John O'Connor and Inspector William Parker are the first recipients of the War Eagle Spirit Award. They were honored recently following a graduation ceremony for detection dogs and handlers at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.
"Our graduates wouldn't have the extent of knowledge and understanding of canine olfaction, training, and detection if it were not for the hard work and dedication of those within the canine detection industry – interested individuals in associated industries who utilize detector dogs and, of course, academia," said John Pearce, associate director of the Canine Detection Research Institute.
Chief O'Connor first visited Auburn's CDRI in 2007. "At that time he told us he wanted Amtrak to have the most reputable program possible," Pearce said. "Chief O'Connor's drive and determination have quickly given the Amtrak Police Department a canine program that is second to none. He provides support and is willing to seek innovative ways to apply canine detection to protect the traveling public from acts of terrorism."
Inspector William Parker is the canine program manager for Amtrak. Already well known for managing canine security at multiple airports within the area of Washington , D.C., Inspector Parker came to Amtrak in 2007 to strengthen and expand its program. "Amtrak's canine detection program quickly became the benchmark for other canine programs," said Pearce. "Inspector Parker's innovative deterrence strategies and use of dogs is changing how mass transit canine detection operates."
Auburn University's Canine Detection Research Institute has over 20 years of research activities involving canine detection and the process of canine olfaction. The Auburn University program is the largest canine detection research program in the United States and its Canine Detection Training Center is one of the largest outside the federal government.

I've had a fascination with panoramic photographs for some time. Ever since I had one of those Early Canon IXUS point and shoot digital cameras that had a panorama or stitch mode.
That camera is long in Camera Heaven, but I've been collecting panorama shot collections from my digital SLR for some time without the ability to create them (read haven't looked at how to do it).
I don't have or use photoshop so I finally bothered to look around at how to create panoramas and found a piece of software call Hugin.
What better way to try it out than on some shots that I took when we recently visited the beautiful Croatia?
I hope you enjoy the shots. I took them all on my Canon 40D, freehand with about 6 photos each. I noticed that in checking back that I some were on full manual (better I think for consistent settings) and Aperture Priority.
It's important that the aperture remains the same for a consistent depth of field (area in focus) so that the images look good. Looking back, it would be better to take them in full Manual mode to ensure that the settings are consistent for each photo. You would need to take a measure of the exposure across the panorama though to get it right.

You may or may not have heard but Google has made a recent change to its terms and conditions that allow Google to use your name, picture, and comments/reviews posted on Google+, Google Play Store, and Google+ Local to endorse products advertised via Google AdWords.
For example, if you +1 a product on Google+, Google will show that you +1'ed the product in the product's ad shown to your friends… sort of as if you endorse it (minus the paycheck that comes with endorsements, of course); and if you rate an app or book or movie or show on Play Store, Google will use your rating (with name and picture) in ads for the thing you rated.
It is easy to imagine many people being uncomfortable with this. Thankfully, there is a way to opt-out of these so called shared endorsement ads — a way to stop your name, picture, and reviews/comments from appearing in ads. This guide shows you exactly how to do that.
Stopping Google from using reviews/comments in shared endorsement ads and removing your name and picture is actually fairly easy. To remove your name and picture and reviews/comments from appearing in shared endorsement ads, do the following:
- Go to https://plus.google.com/settings/endorsements. If you aren't logged into your Google account already, you will be asked to login.
- Once logged in, if you don't already have a Google+ account, you will be asked to upgrade to one. (If you have a Google+ account, you will be taken straight to the settings page — skip down to the next bullet point below.) Upgrading to a Google+ account is free and a fairly simple process, since you already have a Google account. You must upgrade to a Google+ account if you want the ability to turn remove your name/picture/reviews/comments from shared endorsement ads.
- Now scroll to the bottom of the page and look for a setting that says "Based upon my activity, Google may show my name and profile photo in shared endorsements that appear in ads" — uncheck the box next to that setting.
- Finally, hit the 'Save' button.
Repeat this process for all your Google accounts.
I realize that Google is feeling pressure from Facebook and Facebook ads, but I'm can't understand why Google execs thought this was a good move. A good move for Google's wallet, yes, since it will make Google ads more competitive against Facebook ads, but a good move for Google's users? Eh. Did they think the majority of people would be happy endorsing ads in advertisements? At least cut us in on the profit, if you are going to do that.

If Google only had an opt-out for sharing our lives with NSA…
Google what is that ? Something essential to have a fun and free quality life ? I didn't think so.
I have banned this company almost completely from my life, just using an empty Google account for my Android phone, that's it. (after all gmail isn't s good as it used to be so really don't miss it)
Email via my own domain, Bing as search engine, clicky.com for my websites anaytics and NO Google+ buttons on my sites, not either Facebook like shit.
You don't need Google but Google needs you, let get this straight!
New phenomenon has begun: Google flight!
As if cooperation with an oppressive gestapo-esque government isn't enough to drive you away, now you will be singled out for mass distribution as sponsor/recommender/user of products you purchase (but may not use).
This is a failed design from the start. And it's a significant intrusion on everyone's purchasing privacy.
Imagine, the secretary buying maternity clothing (for a friend) discovered by a unreasonably jealous wife!
I have gone 180° on the NFL; for example: Godell, the consideration of a female non-player to replace him, the chickification of league, league run Thursday night games, unreasonable salaries paid to marginal individuals, the inculcation of hoodlums as players … the negative NFL list is endless. So if I buy friends or their babies any NFL junk, I am misrepresented world wide as a supporter of a bogus NPO! No support for tax cheats here!
This program is a stalkers delight!
Wait until your kid's picture is posted as buying sex toys…
Wait until someone is misidentified as a criminal as a result of this process.
The law suits will be enormous.
Recommendation: Flee Google, ixQuick their search engine, and never never never every buy their ad words.

So, the *only* way to opt out of this, is to have a GG+ account???!!
Darn !!! I managed to stay away from these silly time waiters …
BTW, over @CNet, there is an article abt ppl using a photoshoped Larry Page pic on their profile, as a form of retaliation, see how they like their own medicine … Could be interesting if it spreads wide enough !!
