It's the tech news that broke after you logged-off
The Nintendo Wii price has fallen again in the United States, with the motion sensing console now available for just $149 with a copy of Mario Kart and a steering wheel. That works out at about £90. Nintendo is obviously trying to rid themselves of the original console before the Wii 2 arrives next year, but that's still some bargain.

A large group of very special visitors will be coming to the coalfields soon.
Leadership West Virginia is a statewide program to develop, strengthen and connect emerging leaders for the Mountain State. Over an eight months of training period, participants in each Leadership West Virginia class are shown how to enhance their personal leadership skills and enrich their knowledge of not only the problems facing the state as well as how to utilize and
enhance the Mountain State's potential.
LWV was set up years ago with the goal of creating new leaders to move the state forward through education, observation and networking. Leadership West Virginia works
to develop and motivate a cross- section of leaders who will use their talents and abilities to inspire others and to foster a new spirit of energy, enthusiasm and vitality throughout the state. Each year a class of some 50 leaders is selected to participate in the program.
Debrina Williams of the Hatfield-McCoy Convention and Visitor's Bureau was on hand at the Logan City Council on May 14 to talk about the visit and to present the Logan City Council with the newest publications from her organization which will help newcomers to the area find restaurants, hotels and lodging when coming to Logan County.
Williams said she wanted to thank the Logan City Council for all they had done in recent years in helping the H-M CVB and she handed out copies of the new travel guide book that highlights the area for tourists as well as new brochures. Williams herself has been travelling a lot lately with the Hatfield-McCoy Trails at trade shows to reach out to visitors and let them know what this area has to offer. Williams also had some big news about a major coup for the H-M CVB.
"Leadership West Virginia is coming here," she said of a special organization that studies economic development and issues pertaining to the Mountain State to find ways of improvement. "They will be coming with 55 people who will be staying for three days and this is something where they normally stay in Huntington. But we felt that the coalfield area is where so much of the activity is from mining to tourism and that made our area the most logical choice."
Mayor Nolletti thanked Williams for working so closely with the City of Logan on so many projects over the past decade and said he was delighted to hear of the upcoming visit.

Assigning two sounds to one controller/footswitch?
Hello, I have a Roland Handsonic HPD-10 with a KD-8 kick trigger pad and a Boss FS-5U footswitch, which now is set up to trigger kick drum (obviously..) and hi-hat foot, respectively. But I'm wondering if it's actually possible to assign the KD-8 or the FS-5U to play both sounds simultaneously..?

Now that the presidential election is in the books, we have entered the "silly season" for politics. One glaring example of this is an online petition by residents in 37 states who want to withdraw from the United States. Yes, you read that correctly, they are asking that their states secede from the union.
The secession movement appears to be the strongest in the states of the old Confederacy, like Tennessee, which saw a majority of their voters disappointed by President Barack Obama's re-election.
As famed writer and philosopher George Santayana once observed, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." So we would remind folks who are pushing secession that it didn't go very well the last time it was tried. In fact, it was a bloody disaster.
Certainly it would be easy to dismiss this attempt as wacky, but the same was also probably said in 1861. That's why we applaud Gov. Bill Haslam for refusing to lend any legitimacy to this ridiculous idea. The governor told The (Nashville) Tennessean he doesn't think the state will be seceding any time soon.
"I don't think that's a valid option for Tennessee," Haslam said Tuesday.
Instead, Haslam would like to see state officials tackle truly important issues, such as the establishment of an online health insurance exchange under the federal Affordable Care Act. Republican leaders of the state General Assembly were so convinced that GOP candidate Mitt Romney would be elected president and repeal the act that they refused to even consider setting up a state exchange.
Now, with a deadline for action looming, Tennessee officials have just two options: Create a state exchange or leave it up to the federal government to do.
Haslam is no fan of the Affordable Care Act, but he believes the state can do a better job than the feds in running the exchange. He's right. This state's experience with TennCare could prove most valuable in dealing with this issue.

Are frustrated by acne products that burn? Do you feel like every new skin care product stings and irritates your skin? Are you tired of your sensitive, acne-prone skin?
You're not alone. More and more people are complaining about sensitive skin and acne. But surprisingly only about 5% of the population was born with truly sensitive skin. So what's the problem? Environmental factors and harsh skin care routines have left your skin raw and vulnerable.
Follow my top five tips listed below, and you'll be on your way to soothing irritated, acne-prone skin and ultimately clearing your complexion:
1. Lower your thermostat.
Your water temperature should barely be above body temperature, yet most of us love the comfort of a hot shower. If you can't handle cooling down your daily shower, wait to wash your face in the sink where you can control the temperature. Hot water strips the skin, leaving it irritated and dry...not to mention red. So stick to tepid water to wash your face. Bonus tip: A splash of cold water after you're done rinsing has a vasoconstricting effect and creates the illusion of smaller pores.
2. Limit cleansing to 30 seconds.
Most cleansers today contain either sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, which is irritating to the skin when left on the skin for long periods of time. (In fact, sodium lauryl sulfate is used in lab studies whenever scientists need to induce irritation for whatever reason.) Many believe these chemicals should be banished all together from skincare, but when used correctly, these detergents are rather effective cleansers. But cleanse wisely and limit the time they spend on your skin to thirty seconds maximum. That includes rinsing time.
Bonus tip: Reduce irritation even further by reaching for an emollient makeup remover like Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm before sudsing up. Many of us double or triple cleanse because we're relying on foaming agents to cut through our makeup. This can cause irritation.
3. Pat your skin dry immediately after cleansing. Don't rub.
This step is pretty simple, but many of us are guilty of being too rough with our skin or skipping the drying step all together.
4. Wait twenty minutes in between products.
Applying any product--medicated or not--will lead to further irritation if your skin is already irritated. Wait until your skin calms down before applying the next product. This will also make sure your skin has properly absorbed the product, which will help them work more effectively.
5. Use all of your products on dry skin unless otherwise instructed.
If you've followed the last two steps, you should already be doing this. But I feel the need to say this anyway. Many people tell you to apply your moisturizer to wet skin in order to trap in the moisture, but today too many products contain exfoliating ingredients, which are often activated by water. This can cause additional irritation because a stronger product usually comes with unwanted side effects. So don't outsmart your products.
Hope this helps soothe your sensitive, acne-prone skin! Remember to be gentle with your skin no matter what you're using.

A Puzzle in a Can
Jake Wakefield is an artist who specializes in metalwork. For a school project, he was tasked with the theme of "hidden meaning." Cryptix, as he calls this piece, was his response. And, yes, the title is from Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
It consists of two copper tubes with a liver of sulfur patina. They fit neatly within each other, measuring 8 inches long and 2 inches across. There's a pin inside the outer cylinder. To separate them, you must twist them, moving the pin along a maze-like path. If you know the path, it takes only a minute or two to unlock the puzzle. But, so far, only Mr. Wakefield has been able to do it.

The thirteenth annual News10NBC Pirate Toy Fund kicked off Monday morning at Eastview Mall with Gary the Happy Pirate.
The goal this year is to collect 14,000 toys for children in our area.
Each year, the Pirate Toy Fund adds more programs that receive the donated toys and distributes them. Last week, News10NBC was at the Sawgrass Surgical Center in Brighton where they have a great toy closet.
Sawgrass is an outpatient facility that's part of the University of Rochester Medical Center and they perform about 100 surgeries on children per week. That's why they love receiving toys from the Pirate Toy Fund. The nurses give the toys to the children to try make the process a bit nicer.
Kathleen Walther, R.N. said, "As anybody who has had surgery knows, there can be a lot of anxiety with surgery especially before hand and children handle anxiety in different ways and being able to play with something and something new before surgery, it kind of gets them the idea that maybe it's not such a bad thing."
If you bring a new, unwrapped toy to one of the live locations throughout the week, you can sign up for a chance to win tickets to see Sesame Street Live! when the show comes to Rochester next year.
News10NBC will be live Monday through Wednesday at Eastview Mall, Thursday and Friday at The Marketplace Mall and we will wrap up at The Mall at Greece Ridge on Saturday, December 8.

30 Rock Final Season Spoilers: Ryan Lochte Plays "a Sex Idiot"
30 Rock is coming to an end after its seventh season, and according to Tina Fey, it's going out with a bang.
E! caught up with Tina on the 2012 Emmy Awards red carpet, and she had a lot to say about the way her show might wrap up.
After emphasising that no plans are finalized yet, she hinted "big things should happen to Jack Donaghy." She also dished that Liz Lemon might finally get her baby — and maybe even a husband. Above all, she promised that the writers want the finale to be "satisfying to people who actually care about the characters," adding "our goal is to make people cry."
Tina also teased the guest appearance of hottie Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, hinting that he'll play "a sex idiot."

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
We summarise and comment on the recent Options Paper released by the Advisory Council on Intellectual Property (ACIP), an independent government-appointed IP advisory body, in relation to its review of the innovation patent system.1 In the Options Paper, ACIP outlines 3 options for discussion:
A. No change;
B. Abolish the innovation patent system; or
C. Change the innovation patent system.
ACIP's Options Paper is the result of a consultation process following the Issues Paper released in 2011 in response to a direction from the Australian Government to review the innovation patent system. Findings from the Verve Economics March 2013 report2 are also discussed in the Options paper. A total of 64 submissions have been reviewed along with input from a series of round-table discussions held in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. ACIP has also reviewed submissions made in response to IP Australia's September 2012 consultation paper which we previously reported.3 No changes have resulted from IP Australia's consultation paper. Rather, the Government will rely on ACIP's final report (due at the end of 2013) to inform its deliberations on the innovation patent system.
We summarise the 3 options proposed by ACIP below.
Additional roundtable discussions are occurring in September 2013 and written submissions by any interested parties are due by 4 October 2013. ACIP are seeking further comments on the options presented and on policy issue. Comments have specifically been invited on preferred Option C discussed below. These are to be directed to Jeff Carl at ACIP.4
ACIP notes that only 10% of respondents to the Verve Economics survey were from firms with over 200 employees. Also, comparatively few comments were received regarding international perceptions of the innovation patent system.
If you or one of your clients, as the case may be, would like to make a submission we may be able to assist. Even if you do not want to make a formal submission, we would still be interested in any comments or suggestions you may have.
A number of considerations were discussed in relation to this:
There was general agreement in the consultation process that the level of innovation is too low and that level of protection is not commensurate with this. However, there is no agreement on what the innovation threshold should be raised to or what, if at all, the remedies could be reduced to. Further comments are requested by ACIP. Several options are outlined below:
Review of the Innovation Patent System
Verve Economics, 'The Economic Value of the Australia Innovation Patent'
Innovation Patent – Fundamental changes proposed
Intellectual property laws amendment (Raising the Bar) Act 2012; Easy Guide
This is comparable with standard patent renewals at the 8-year anniversary, similarly just over a third of the maximum term of the patent

Scottish Highlands Day Trip and Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Travel along the banks of tranquil Loch Earn into the beautiful Highlands region of Perthshire, where you have the option to learn about the production of Scottish whisky on a local whisky distillery tour. Learn about the barley and malt used to produce the peaty notes of a good Scotch, and sample a shot of whisky made on site. Next, explore the peaceful Hermitage pleasure grounds and take a short woodland walk to see some spectacular waterfalls as well as Ossian's Cave and the River Braan. A break for lunch (own expense) is included either at the whisky distillery or at the Hermitage pleasure grounds.
Return to Edinburgh in the early evening, passing the medieval Dunkeld Cathedral and Forth Bridge, and then enjoy free time to relax and eat dinner (own expense) before making your own way to Edinburgh Castle for the Military Tattoo.
Set on the floodlit esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo includes acts by performers from around the world. The action-packed program features hundreds of Commonwealth participants with appearances from the Massed Pipers and Drums, the Bands of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, cultural troupes, singers and the Lone Piper.
The evening event typically lasts around 1.5 hours and finishes at the esplanade. If you book the experience for a Saturday, the tattoo is followed by a spectacular fireworks display over the city. Food and drink stands can be found on site; just note that any items are at your own expense.

A nice light savory torte/cake/pie for outdoor potluck
i'm usually a fan of cornbread, but i would prefer something a little less starchy and dense. it needs to be something that can hold up to outdoor heat in case the weather jumps at the end of May. If it could be made in a cast iron pan, or dutch oven, even better.
This is something that I was considering http://www.food52.com/recipes/4078_spring_pea_and_ricotta_torte_with_lemon_and_mint but I would imagine that because of its fluffy/eggy structure, that after sitting outside for a bit that a bit of soggyness might start doing it in.

Miley Cyrus Says a Ghost Watched Her Shower! (VIDEO)
Miley Cyrus had some ghost stories to tell Elle UK about staying in a historic, and apparently haunted, London apartment. That's right: Miley claims to have experienced ghosts.
She says in one incident, she saw a little boy sitting in the sink watching her while she took a shower. Her sister had a shower experience too, she says: the water turned to scalding hot without her intervention.
Liam Hemsworth, who was also staying at the apartment, experienced it too, but we don't know what!
The rest of the Cyrus family, she says, experienced windows and doors opening and closing on their own.
Miley is on the cover of the June 2013 issue of Elle UK, out now.
We're not sure how much stock to take in these stories, but we definitely want Miley at our next campout!

It's the holiday season, which means that it is time for family. And if you are in a relationship, this means that you will probably be meeting the parents of your significant other if you haven't already done so. Well, this experience can go either really well or really bad. But for all intended purposes, this article offers advice to turn what can be a very nerve racking and stressful experience into a positive and pleasant one.
One thing that should be taken into consideration beforehand is how serious the relationship is and do you see this person potentially in your future. After all, there is no point in the two of you all meeting each other's parents if the relationship isn't serious. If you think that you and this person are going to break up next week, don't bother introducing her to your parents or going to meet hers. However, if you are in a serious relationship where you think that there is a future between the two of you, then go ahead and keep reading.
First, advice for meeting the female's parents:
When meeting a female's parents, there are a few guidelines a man needs to follow. First, show the utmost respect. Showing respect will get the parents on your side from the start instead of making them the enemy. Ultimately, you don't want to put your significant other in a situation where they have to pick between you or her parents, because in most cases she is going to pick her parents. Also, if you don't show respect to the parents, then why should they trust you to show respect to their daughter. It is important to gain the trust of the parents from the jump.
Now there are many ways to go about showing respect. Here are some easy and simple steps that can be taken to show respect.
Overall, make sure that you are the perfect gentlemen, and just try to be the most helpful person there is in the house, especially since you are the guest. If you show manners towards the parents, then they will trust you to show manners towards the daughter when they are not around.
Now, when a female is set to meet your parents, the same end result is in sight. Just like how the man is trying to show that he is the perfect gentlemen, it is important for the female to show that she is the perfect lady. And much like it is the job of the man to impress the father; it is the job of the female to impress the man's mother. So alert the female of any little things that the mother might not like or things that she should avoid doing to stay on the mother's good side, and the father's for that matter. Tell her not to wear anything too skimpy or revealing because you don't want her to send the wrong message or appear to be something that is unacceptable. Also, let her know that she too should offer to help the mother or whoever is responsible for clean-up, to show that she is capable and not above getting her hands dirty.
Now in the course of conversation, one important piece of advice to remember is to avoid arguments, especially over touchy subjects such as religion or politics. Arguments with the right intentions can quickly turn into personal jabs and frustration, or even worse, violent outbreaks. If you are going to engage in arguments, let it be over something small and insignificant such as sports and favorite teams. Never argue over serious things because that can ruin a good first impression to the point that there is no going back.
The whole point of meeting the parents during the holidays is gaining the trust of her parents and the whole point of her meeting your parents is getting them to like her. If they like you, they will make it less difficult for the two of you to date each other, and vice versa.
Even if to a certain extent you have to act differently than how you normally act, it is still the job for you to be a better person around the parents than you are when you're not around them. Obviously, some of these things you probably aren't going to do on a regular basis and that is perfectly okay (even though you should do some of these things some of the times), but impressing the parents and getting their seal of approval is the key to taking the relationship to the next level. Yes, you can still maintain a relationship in spite of parents not liking you or your significant other, but for smooth sailing, it is best to get the parents on your side, and that starts with the first impression you make. And no better first impression is made than during the holiday season.
So happy holidays, and good luck meeting your potential future-in-laws!

My stomach is starting to turn. Maybe it's because I haven't had lunch yet. A better explanation is that we're just hours away from the big game: KU vs. Memphis. KU's ride has been tremendous the last few weeks! I was very fortunate enough to see the opening round game in person in Omaha but how cool would it be to have tickets for tonight's matchup? It should be an exciting one and in the end, as long as KU has one more point than Memphis, I will be one happy camper!
I'm sure our dog Daisy will be happy to see the end of the basketball season. I get a little worked up during KU games. Always have...always will. Heck, last month I was watching ESPN Classic and they had the 1988 KU vs. OU National championship game. Immediately upon hearing the TV, Daisy sat down beside my chair, ears glued to her head and just starred into the other room. I told her "Daisy, it's OK...I know how this one turns out!!" It didn't help.
My wife doesn't understand how a grown man can get so loud and overworked during a basketball game. No apologies...I bleed Crimson and Blue and tonight Daisy will be my wife's best friend for 2 hours. GO HAWKS!!

The USO Fort Drum is serving record numbers of troops and families this year with nearly the entire 10th Mountain Division at home station.
With record-breaking numbers and nearly 70,000 served in the first half on 2012, the USO Fort Drum is seeking the public's assistance to provide troops with a home away from home.
"Soldiers are embracing the programs and services USO Fort Drum has to offer by the thousands. It is wonderful to be meeting the emotional and social needs of our military community, but we could use some help meeting the snacking needs," said Karen Clark, director of the USO Fort Drum.
The USO Fort Drum is seeking donations of snack and candy items to serve troops and families in their 8,000 square foot facility on Fort Drum.
On average, the USO sees over 250 people each day in their main Center. While in the USO, troops and families are offered connectivity through internet, computers, and video gaming, drinks and snacks, all free.
"USO Fort Drum strives to provide daily snacks in our Main Center, have treats and toiletry bags ready for the Wounded Warriors making their way back to Fort Drum, and serve refreshments at Wheeler Sack Army Airfield for each plane load of Soldiers returning home from Afghanistan. I can't stress enough how vast our need is for packaged snacks. We do the best we can with what we get donated, but after serving 19,000 patrons in the month of June, our food pantry is almost as bare as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard," said Mrs. Clark.
Donations can be made by dropping off items to the USO Fort Drum, 10502 S. Riva Ridge Loop, Fort Drum, or mailed via USPS to USO Fort Drum, PO Box 454, Fort Drum, NY 13602.

I received treats free of charge in exchange for an honest product review.
With the chicken jerky scare, I've really started paying attention to ingredients and where they are sourced from; I've noticed that many healthy dog treats will say that they're distributed from a state in the United States, but where are the ingredients sourced from?
I don't know about you, but I've noticed many dog treats being branded with the US Flag and a Made in the USA emblem (great for those of us in the USA) – I know that this wasn't common 6 months ago, because I was looking. Well, the healthy dog treats that I'm sharing today are all Made in the USA and have a few things that our babies love – they smell yummy!
It's important to remember the treats that aren't sourced in China; follow CloudStar on FACEBOOK & TWITTER
I thought I had never heard of Dynamo Dogs by Cloud Star until they reached out to me for a review. But then I remembered that we picked up some Buddy Biscuits Dog Treats for the dogs – they love them. They're a family owned company that started in 1999 with the goal of providing us with healthy treats.
Cloud Star was very generous; they sent me enough treats to make the local rescue group I support happy. I'm donating them to foster families in an attempt to help make a dog's transition to their forever home go more smoothly.
Cloud Star healthy dog treats are Made in the USA and are functional treats (I call them Combo Treats), meaning that they're great for training, treats, and they offer support for joints, skin & coat, and the tummy. The treats are soft and the dogs love them, making it difficult to honor the feeding instructions listed on the package.
The Dynamo Dog Treats don't contain wheat, soy, or corn. Cloud Star left out the artificial colors, flavors, and byproducts. Thank you! But what I love most about these treats is that the Hip & Joint treats list out the amount of glucosamine (in milligrams) on the package. Our dogs require 3,000 per day (per our veterinarian) so we'd have to feed them each over 6 treats per day (the feeding instructions say 2 per day).
I appreciate this so much, because when we were first researching joint pain, we thought that treats and food with glucosamine in the ingredients was all we needed.
Our dogs were able to try a few of their flavors and all of them were a hit. The Salmon and Chicken treats include the meat as the first ingredient.
- Cloud Star Dynamo Dog Skin and Coat Functional Treat Pouches, Salmon
- Cloud Star Dynamo Dog Tummy Functional Treat Pouches, Pumpkin and Ginger
- Cloud Star Dynamo Dog Hip and Joint Functional Treat Pouches, Chicken
I'm pretty excited about giving the treats to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue – our dogs went nuts for them so I know that other dogs will love them too. And if you're wondering about where Cloud Star sources their ingredients, you can breathe easier knowing that none of their ingredients come from China!
"Hi Kimberly, thats a great question, we are glad you asked! We make it a point to source as many ingredients from America as possible. A great example is our plant-based glucosamine HCL, which …we searched high and low to find in America. But there are a few that we just can't find, such as Salmon Oil, which comes from Norway, and Green Lipped Mussel from New Zealand. We are very confident in saying that NONE of our ingredients are sourced from China. If you have any other questions please let us know!" ~ Cloud Star
Another treat that joined our family came from Dogswell…
I had actually written off Dogswell treats, because I mostly saw that they had chicken jerky treats and I stopped buying them from everyone. I was happily surprised when I opened the package to find Dogswell Vitality Jerky Bars. These are what I call Combo Treats too – they're yummy for the dogs, a great way to show our love, and they offer good things for them (skin care, joint care, vitamins).
Here are the highlights and what makes me smile…
- No gluten, corn, wheat, soy, byproducts, antibiotics (those are in treats?), added hormones, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. And no BHA/BHT or ethoxyquin – I hate that word, because I can't pronounce it.
- The package has daily feeding guidelines, which is helpful for dog parents like me who tend to spoil with food. It's always eye opening when you realize that giving dogs treats every time they do something adorable just isn't going to work.
- The meat on the package is the first ingredient on the list! Wow! Someone gets it!
- The treats are smelly – we opened the salmon first and the dogs came tearing into the kitchen, barely able to maintain their site they were so excited.
I don't have any cons about these treats. I'm really happy with the ingredients, the texture (they didn't just gulp them down), and that our dogs love them. I do, however, have cons about Dogswell. Although the Jerky bars I reviewed are sourced and made in the US as well as other Dogswell products; they still carry jerky treats (not the bars) that are made in China and have chicken sourced in China.
From the Dogswell website…
"Where are your products manufactured? Most DOGSWELL products are manufactured in the US. Some of our treats are manufactured in China, but we hold these facilities to the same stringent quality standards we maintain at our US facilities. DOGSWELL sources its ingredients based upon where we find top quality ingredients and a high quality supplier whose facilities and practices meet our safety testing standards." Go to the Quality Assurance, Dogswell page to learn more.
Have you found yourself reading the ingredients on your dog treats before buying?
Hot Guys and Their Dogs!
I'm not a basketball fan, but when Douglas from the Detroit Pistons sent this to me, are you surprised that I watched it 5 times. Jonas is adorable. Hank is just a cuddly sweetie. Yeah yeah, he bought from a breeder, but you know my thoughts – any dog who ends up in a happy, loving home is a win for us all! I'm sure his next dog will be a rescue

UPEI Men's Hockey Head Coach Forbes MacPherson is pleased to welcome Mark Carragher to the Panther coaching staff.
Carragher was most recently the head coach of the Kensington Monaghan Farms Wild major midget team in 2013–14 (of the NB-PEI Major Midget League), and also coached its predecessor, the Cornwall Thunder, in 2012–13. Both teams won the provincial major midget championship during the years he coached, with the Thunder also winning the silver medal at the Atlantic Major Midget Championship. Carragher is also an assistant coach with PEI's 2015 Canada Games men's hockey team and is in the process of completing the Hockey Canada Advanced Level 1 Coaching Program.
Carragher played university hockey at the University of Southern Maine from 2003–07 and finished as the career-scoring leader. After university, Carragher played professional hockey with the Texas Brahmas and the Amarillo Gorillas in the Central Hockey League from 2007–09.
"I am very excited to join Forbes on the coaching staff for the UPEI Panthers. I look forward to working with this group of dedicated young men to help bring a championship back to UPEI," said Carragher.
"Mark is a tremendous addition to the UPEI Men's Hockey coaching staff. He will bring a very high hockey IQ, a strong work ethic, and a competitiveness to our program that we look for from our coaches and players alike. I have had the opportunity to work with Mark in minor pro, and I am excited to reunite with him," said MacPherson.

Can portable in-flight entertainment (IFE) providers survive in an environment where airlines are fitting their aircraft with in-flight connectivity and looking to support passengers' own devices? Not if their businesses are based solely on the provision of portables, suggests IFE Services managing director Andy McEwan.
"I am a believer that within an IFE strategy of an airline, portable devices can fit into that strategy somehow, but it has got to be the individual's portable device. [Generally] I don't think it's a device that's provided by an airline or a third party," McEwan told RWG in a recent interview.
"From the limited knowledge I have of companies whose core business is the provision of portable devices, I don't think there are many that actually make money. I think probably most of them lose money and that's what they do, Monday to Friday, five days a week. So, something doesn't smell right to me."
Those are some strong words from a company that, in addition to providing airlines with IFE audio/video content and management, supplies a portable IFE solution based on Sony's PSP gaming device. And, as you'd expect, McEwan caveats his comment, saying portable IFE devices still play a role in "certain situations".
Says McEwan:
"So lets say you have a long-haul, low-cost airline – and we've signed a client in Asia with that type of characteristic – I can see it working then. You have 200 or 300 people on board an aircraft, there is no IFE, they're flying 10 hours to London, it's a portable device, it's rented out, and there is a solution there. I can see it working in that situation and some of our clients kind of do that today but the ones that are successful at it have very good product management; they typically product manage everything themselves. As soon as you involve a third party, like a catering company who is doing the loading onto the aircraft, charging up the devices, you're potentially going to have problems."
Portable IFE (and tray-table embedded IFE) based on Samsung's latest Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, received a lot of attention at APEX, even though Apple had already successfully won an injunction preventing its sale in Germany at that time (and later Australia). Naturally, I wanted to get McEwan's take on whether the lawsuits would ultimately hurt the business case.
"…I wouldn't have thought an airline making a decision about portable devices in the short-term particularly in Europe is going to progress with the Samsung tablets," he says.
As for iPad-based portable IFE, the well-documented challenges associated with that scheme serve as "the perfect example of how technology moves so slow in the airline industry", according to McEwan "Let's take ourselves back to April 2010, Hamburg – Aircraft Interiors. [There was] lots of fanfare and the iPad is a great product. But how many airlines today, 18 months on, are actually using an iPad solution, one or two or three?"
Meanwhile, in the 15 months since McEwan took the position of managing director at IFE Services, the UK company has rapidly grown its client roster, delved into marketing its brand through social media, and positioned itself to participate in industry consolidation.

Barrie Speedway would kick off the second half of its 2013 campaign in fine style on Sat July 13, and the action on track would prove to be highly intense and competitive in all three divisions on Canestoga Property Maintenance Night. The evening would feature a return to victory lane by 2011 track champ #57 Ron "The Dominator" Quesnelle of Penetang, who captured the 30 lap finale to the evening for the Wahta Springs Late Models. Quesnelle, who captured the opening feature race of the season but then hit a sudden 2 month dry spell, was chased to the line every step of the way by #14 "Hurricane" Thayne Hallyburton of Hillsdale, after Hallyburton went to victory lane in the first 30 lap feature race earlier in the card. With the win, Quesnelle narrowed the gap to point leader #10 Gord Shepherd of Oro Station, as 27 points now separate the drivers heading into this weekends action. Sophomore driver Hallyburton sits just 5 points further back of Quesnelle, on the strength of 5 feature wins this season, while 2009 track champ Shepherd currently leads the division with six feature wins in 2013.
In the initial 30, it was #44 Rick Meyer of Orillia who broke to the front early, after racing the first two laps door handle to door handle with #74 Roy Manary of Gravenhurst. Also making an early move towards the front was division sophomore #91 Andre Pepin of Midland, who made a daring three wide move out of turn two, splitting Manary and #5 Mike "The Hulkamaniac" Langley of Orr Lake to claim runner up positioning in the early stages. Manary, would eventually get shuffled back to 5th in the running order, as a hard charging #83 Ian Bourque of Newmarket passed him to the inside of turn 3 to move into 4th. The caution would fly early, when the field would stack up behind Manary, as #02 Shawn Murray of Alliston would turn Quesnelle in turn 3, with rookie contender #24 Leonard Johnston right in that mix as well. The result would see Murray collide with the outside retaining wall while trying to avoid the prone Quesnelle ride, with a broken wrist the outcome for the talented sophomore, thus ending his race night early.
On the restart, it was Meyer who moved out to a single car length lead, soon finding pressure to the outside from the talented Pepin, as the two drivers waged a tooth and nail battle for 2 solid laps, when Pepin finally found the point to the outside of turn 4. On the next lap, with Meyer still digging hard on the inside, he would run up on and inadvertantly turn race leader Pepin just shy of the midway mark. This turn of events would totally reshuffle the front row, to now include Bourque and Hallyburton, as Hallyburton would power to the point on the outside, after a hard fought 3 lap duel with Bourque, while further in back an alert 24 of Johnston would find the inner groove in 3rd in front of Manary. It was at this point in the race when the 10 of Shepherd began to make his presence felt, getting past Manary, and then Johnston with an outside pass in turn three to move up to 3rd in the running order. With leader Hallyburton now clear of the field by half a straightway with laps in the 14.9 second range, the 2nd place car of Bourque would come under heavy fire from Shepherd, as the latter would take over that position with a clean inside pass in turn one. Over the duration, Shepherd couldn't narrow the lead Hallyburton had built up at the front of the pack however, as Hallyburton would take the checkered by a half straightaway over Shepherd at the stripe. Bourque, would finish a solid 3rd to earn his 2nd podium of the season, while Quesnelle and Johnston would round out the fast five.
In the 30 lap finale to the evening, it was the 74 of Manary who moved into the initial lead, after gaining the advantage on the 5 of Langley from the drop of the green. Once again it was the 91 of Pepin who was quick to find 2nd along the inside of Langley, with rookie sensation Johnston progressing to 3rd, as fellow rookie Langley was now trapped to the high side. Also quick to find the front was the 57 of Quesnelle, as the longtime division veteran would dispose of Langley for 4th, with a smooth inside pass while racing out of turn two, dragging the 14 of Hallyburton along with him to enter top 5 positioning. Further in back of all this action, there was a great dice shaping up for 7th, involving the 10 of Shepherd and 83 of Bourque, as those two waged all out war for that position, with Shepherd eventually coming out the victor. On lap 4, the first lead change would occur, when the 91 of Pepin would power past Manary with an inside move in turn 4, while further in back Quesnelle would take over 3rd from Johnston. Quesnelle's charge towards the front would not end there however, as the driver would move past Manary on the outside of turn 2 on lap 6, with Johnston and Hallyburton now locked in a tooth and nail battle of their own for 4th in the running order, as Hallyburton would take that spot.
Approaching the ten lap mark, Hallyburton would slip down inside of Manary to move into 3rd, leading the way for Johnston to claim 4th just a short while later. The race's first caution would appear a short while later for debris on the track, with Quesnelle seemingly glued to Pepin's back bumper. On the restart, the hard charging Quesnelle would take the lead from the outside line, with Pepin landing in second while Hallyburton and Johnston waged an impressive dice for 3rd with Johnston looking game on the outside, in a duel eventually won by Hallyburton. On lap 18, Johnston would lose another position, as the 10 of Shepherd would relieve him of 4th place, when the caution again would appear a short while later when the 74 of Manary and 5 of Langley collected in turn 4, as rookie #44x Mike Meyer was also involved in the melee, sending all three to the rear of the field. This set the stage for Quesnelle and Pepin to once again battle from the front row, as Quesnelle quickly found the point, leaving Pepin in the clutches of Hallyburton in the race for 2nd, a spot Hallyburton would capture with a nifty inside pass in turn 4 on lap 21. The Hallyburton pass would soon open up the necessary room for Shepherd to relieve Pepin of 4th, after a intense battle with the pesky Pepin for three solid laps side by side. It was clear nobody was catching Quesnelle's Sunrise Toyota Camry however, as the driver would notch the feature race win by 3 car lengths over Hallyburton at the checkered. Shepherd would cap off a solid point night in finishing 3rd, while Pepin and Johnston comprised the remainder of the top 5.
In the Canestoga Property Maintenance Thunder Cars, it was #44 Dave "The Doucette" of Angus who survived a thrilling late race battle with #00 Darryl St. Onge of Barrie to take his second feature victory of the season in the 30 lap main. This division currently features the tightest points battle heading into the final two months, as division sophomore #39 Travis Hallyburton sits atop the standings, despite having not tasted a feature race win thus far in 2013. St. Onge, meanwhile used the solid 2nd place showing to tie defending track champ #10 Rick Walt for 2nd place in the season long point standings, just 3 points in behind Hallyburton, while Doucette by virtue of his win closed to within 12 points of the leader Hallyburton. Expect these four drivers among others to put on a heck of a show this coming week, as well as moving forward towards the close of the 2013 racing calendar.
The feature race would kick off with rookie stalwart #16 Bryan Penny of Barrie moving out front early, as #55 Shawn Goggins filed into 2nd, with Doucette advancing to third after a side by side battle with #21 Bill Walt. The wily veteran Doucette would soon find the 00 of St. Onge welded to his back bumper, as that duo would slip past the 55 of Goggins to claim 2nd and 3rd respectively. A strong run at the front would soon come to its conclusion for the game rookie Penny just shy of the ten lap mark, as the talented wheelman would slow out of turn 4 with mechanical issues, handing over the lead to Doucette in the process. Throughout the middle portion of the race fans could be excused if they envisioned 2007 and 2008 when on track rivals Doucette and St. Onge went to weekly war around the tight Barrie confines, as the two silky smooth veterans treated the fans on hand to a clinic of clean and tough short track racing for the next several laps. St. Onge, would really close in and look to the inside on Doucette while racing into turn 1 during this time, while Doucette was earlier to the throttle out of turn two, finding enough horsepower to keep St. Onge at bay.
Approaching the midway mark, the hard charging 39 of Hallyburton had found his way to 3rd, after a impressive dice with the 21 of Walt, while former track champs #12 Jim" Polish Prince" Belesky and #10 Rick Walt raced nip and tuck behind that duo. Belesky, would slip past the 21 of Walt for 4th in the running order on lap 15, after a hard fought battle for 2 laps side by side. The front running duo of Doucette and St. Onge was setting a torrid pace at the front of the pack, breaking away by half a straightaway, with St. Onge having a couple of brief looks to the inside of Doucette racing out of turn two inside of five laps remaining. They would parade to the checkered in this order, as Doucette would edge St. Onge by the narrowest of margins at the checkered. Hallyburton, would continue an impressive streak of podium results in coming home 3rd, while Belesky and #21 Bill Walt rounded out the top 5.
Heat wins went to Hallyburton with a pair, Doucette, and St. Onge.
In the St. Onge Recreation Pure Stock division, it was third year driver #400 Justin Holmes who took his brilliantly prepared Hwy 400 Transmission sponsored Mustang to victory lane for the first time in 2013. This division has raced 70 laps caution free in feature races covering the last three weeks, an impressive feat to say the least, in one of the most tightly contested divisions you will find anywhere in the province. The race would begin with #06 Ryan Hardy moving out front from the onset, getting the jump on rookie #83 Sean Sikes from the drop of the green. Hardy, would soon find a stern challenge to the outside in turn one on lap 3, as #71 Pete Gettliffe would take control at the front in his Rockwell Watches Sponsored Pinto. It was this point in the race when promising upstart Holmes began to make a name for himself, getting to the inside of #57 Ryan Toon in turn three to take over 3rd place positioning. On lap 4, Holmes would close in on Hardy in the race for 2nd, with Holmes capturing the spot with a clean outside pass in turn 3, leaving Hardy to now fend off Toon to the outside for 3rd. Also working his way towards the front was #77 Mike Gettliffe, as the former Thunder Car pilot had now entered the top 5 in his TMK Mechanical/ TSS Top Shops Sponsored Dodge Neon. Gettliffe, would soon work his way past both Hardy and Toon to take control of 3rd, with Holmes now hounding the elder Gettliffe for the race lead just a little further up ahead.
On lap 6, Holmes would make the winning move, again finding the outer groove to his liking, as he slipped past Pete Gettliffe in turn one to take control at the front of the pack. Gettliffe, would soon fall back into the clutches of son Mike, who made a stunning outside pass of his father and fellow competitor on the outside of turn 3, just shy of the midway point to take over second. Holmes, was increasing his lead over the Gettliffe battle with each passing lap at this point, as he was now clear by half straightaway at the front of the field. Not much would change over the duration of this one, as Holmes would easily cruise to the victory, by a wide margin over #77 Mike Gettliffe at the line. #9 Charlie Smith would come home in 3rd, with #10 Doug Butler and Toon rounding out the fast five. Unofrtunately the post race technical inspection would catch up with defending track champ Smith for oversize valves, negating his third place result, and bumping both Butler and Toon up one position, as #71 Pete Gettliffe would become the eventual 5th place finisher.
Heat wins went to Butler with a pair, Holmes, and #71 "Scrap Iron" Pete Gettliffe.
PIT NOTES ------------- Be sure to join us this coming weekend Sat July 20th for the first and only Barrie appearance of 2013 for the Lucas Oil Can Am TQ Midgets. These little devils will be the fastest vehicle of any sort to adorn the tight and tricky one third mile tri oval configuration this season, with many of the divisions front runners capable of sub 13 second lap times. 2011 Barrie race winner and former Cascar Super Series competitor #74 Rob Neely currently sits atop the point standings, with last seasons Barrie champ #40 Mack Deman currently in 2nd, roughly 60 points behind, while Wyoming resident #39 Corey Moseker sits third having gone to victory lane just last weekend at Flamboro Speedway. Last season's Barrie race was a caution free 25 lap affair that took just a few minutes to complete and featured passing all over the speedway.. THIS WILL PROVE TO BE A CAN'T MISS EVENT!! All three home track divisions are also back in action, with pit gate opening at 1pm, spectator gates commencing business at 5pm, and green flag slated to drop at 6:30pm sharp as all the action will be presented by the good folks at Industrial Commutator in Barrie.
A new face would take to the Pure Stock ranks for the first time in 2013, as #79 Nicole Podewils would make her first career Barrie start,, The highly talented Podewils would have to start shotgun the entire night but she wouldn't let that deter her penchant for impressive results, turning in 4th and 5th place heat results, go go along with a feature finish just outside the top 5 in a deep and talent laden 17 car field. The 02 ride usually campaigned by Shawn Murray would see Darryl St. Onge take the wheel after the Murray accident in the initial feature. St. Onge, only making his 2nd career Late Model venture would turn in an impressive performance is substitute duty, keeping a clean car under him the entire 30 laps while bring home an 8th place feature result.
