Sandra Springer, MD is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine, section of Infectious Diseases at the Yale School of Medicine. She is Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases and Addiction Medicine. Dr. Springer has significant research experience with adherence interventions for HIV-infected drug and alcohol dependent persons. She was a recipient of a NIDA-funded K23 mentored career development award, during which she evaluated the use of medication assisted treatment (MAT) to prevent relapse to opioid use as a conduit to care among HIV-infected opioid dependent released prisoners. She developed the first protocol to use buprenorphine as relapse prevention for opioid dependent HIV+ prisoners on day of release and has published these findings that serve as proof of concept that MAT can be effective in maintaining HIV+ released prisoners HIV clinical outcomes. She also has expertise in supervising RCTs by serving as medical director and co-investigator for multiple RCTs including DAART adherence interventions for IDUs and HIV+ released prisoners. She also has considerable clinical and research experience with the use of extended-release naltrexone and has been awarded an R01 from NIAAA as Principal Investigator to evaluate its use to prevent relapse to alcohol use among HIV infected alcohol dependent prisoners transitioning to the community and from NIDA as PI as part of the Seek Test Treat and Retain initiative to evaluate its use to prevent relapse to opioid use among opioid dependent released criminal justice populations as a means to maintain HIV treatment outcomes. She is also a co-investigator on an R01 from NIDA with Dr. Altice evaluating the use of buprenorphine as linkage to HIV testing and conduit to care for opioid dependent persons in Washington D.C and a co-investigator for a NIDA R01 with Dr. Altice (PI) that is implementing extended-release naltrexone for opioid dependent persons in Ukraine. She has a K02 independent scientist award from NIDA as well.

The Mind's Eye (Vintage)by Oliver Sacks
Staff Pick
Oliver Sacks, as fascinating, empathetic, and formidably talented as always, focuses on six individuals who've lost what we think of as essential abilities, including reading, face recognition, and speech. The Mind's Eye is a mesmerizing and exhilarating exploration of how we interact with language and each other.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In The Mind's Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world.
There is Lilian, a concert pianist who becomes unable to read music and is eventually unable even to recognize everyday objects, and Sue, a neurobiologist who has never seen in three dimensions, until she suddenly acquires stereoscopic vision in her fifties.
There is Pat, who reinvents herself as a loving grandmother and active member of her community, despite the fact that she has aphasia and cannot utter a sentence, and Howard, a prolific novelist who must find a way to continue his life as a writer even after a stroke destroys his ability to read.
And there is Dr. Sacks himself, who tells the story of his own eye cancer and the bizarre and disconcerting effects of losing vision to one side.
Sacks explores some very strange paradoxes — people who can see perfectly well but cannot recognize their own children, and blind people who become hyper-visual or who navigate by "tongue vision." He also considers more fundamental questions: How do we see? How do we think? How important is internal imagery — or vision, for that matter? Why is it that, although writing is only five thousand years old, humans have a universal, seemingly innate, potential for reading?
The Mind's Eye is a testament to the complexity of vision and the brain and to the power of creativity and adaptation. And it provides a whole new perspective on the power of language and communication, as we try to imagine what it is to see with another person's eyes, or another person's mind.
"An absorbing attempt to unravel the complexities of the human mind." Kirkus
"Sacks has a seemingly inexhaustible talent for eloquently and humanely explaining our brains' most arcane and bizarre neurological dysfunctions." Time Magazine
"Sacks has taken the patient history — the most basic tool of medicine
"Richly detailed... creatively balances complex medical discussion with solid, down-to-earth prose, which will attract his legion of fans interested in the human condition." Library Journal
"Inquisitive and horrified at once, Sacks shows us knowledge, discipline, and imagination confronting the terrors of illness and loss... Readers may never take the view of a sunrise or of their child's smile the same way again." Boston Globe
"Implicit in Sacks's panorama of clinical problems is a deep and surprising view of reading, perceiving, and understanding... extraordinarily poignant." Harpers Magazine
As he has done in classics like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and Awakenings, Dr. Sacks shows us that medicine is both an art and a science, and that our ability to imagine what it is to see with another person's mind is what makes us truly human.
About the Author
Oliver Sacks is a practicing physician and the author of ten books, including Musicophilia, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and Awakenings (which inspired the Oscar-nominated film). He lives in New York City, where he is a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and the first Columbia University Artist.

Submission China Claimed Millions of Computers Hacked by U.S.-based Servers->
hackingbear writes: While we have heard reports of computers being hacked from China almost every other day, China's National Computer Network Emergency Response Centre identified 7.8 million computers in China had been hacked in the first six months of last year, with the most common location of the attackers being in the US (pay wall). According to CNCERT, 73,286 overseas IPs were involved in hacking China's 14.19 million IPs, among which 10.5 million received attacks from US-based servers, 780,000 from South Korea and 778,000 from Germany. Apparently, as neither side can prove their claims or disprove the other's claims with absolutely indisputable evidences, the war of words will keep going.

Friends of mine at a small casual SF convention did something very much in the spirit of these ideas.
They moved a chair, a small couch (loveseat), and some potted plants and ashtrays from the lobby areas near the elevator, into the elevator. One of them acted as a talk show host, and others as announcer, stagehand, and bandleader. Whenever someone got on the elevator, they'd invite them to sit on the couch, and then start interviewing them.
Then the rest of us moved the elevator-lobby couches on the remaining floors to be directly facing the elevator doors, and then sat in them and became TV viewers. When the elevator doors opened on a floor, the viewers on that floor would pretend they just tuned to that channel, and as they began closing, they'd pretend they were changing the channel.

DuPont Refinish now offers a new range of Cromax Pro Basecoat components specifically to answer issues associated with using waterborne paint systems when low moisture levels affect evaporation and drying times. Even though bodyshops can regulate the temperature in the workshop area, it is not always easy to control extremely dry, low humidity conditions.
The range includes two low humidity controllers (WB2043/WB2045), a reducer (TN800W) and a blender (WB2093). They all help refinishers to control drying times and paint performance by taking into account the ambient conditions.

POTSDAM While many college students probably spent their Sunday catching up on sleep after a weekend of Halloween parties or preparing for classes on Monday, SUNY Potsdam athletes were outside raking leaves for most of the day.
For the seventh year in a row, approximately 280 students from every athletic team raked 18 yards belonging to either senior citizens or those with special needs or disabilities.
It feels good to give back to the community, said Stephanie A. Vlad, a junior at Potsdam who plays on the womens varsity volleyball team.
Casey L. Chase, a sophomore on the varsity volleyball team for Potsdam, said that the people who call in to have their yard raked cant get the job done on their own.
We got a sheet of paper with different teams that are supposed to go to certain houses, she said. Every team is supposed to do two houses.
Lauren E. Bruce has been coaching womens lacrosse at SUNY Potsdam for 10 years and organizes the schools leaf-raking day each year with the help of the Athletic Leadership Council.
She said that since leaf-raking day is mandatory for all the athletes and they only have 70 rakes, the students have to do the raking in shifts between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
She said that this year, they didnt have as many people signed up to have their yard raked, but students also raked both Garfield and Bayside cemeteries in Potsdam.
Weve gotten gift cards through SUNYAC, so a lot of the supplies were bought at Lowes over the years, she said. Its like $100 each year, so weve just accumulated a lot of rakes.
Ms. Bruce said the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce loaned some rakes and the school also pitches in funding to replace any equipment that breaks.
Leaf-raking day was initiated by the SUNYAC Conference and was supposed to be for all SUNY schools to participate in on the same day, according to Ms. Bruce.
That got pretty difficult to do, Ms. Bruce said.
They changed it so that schools would participate all in the same week, but even that was hard to manage because, for some universities, it was difficult to get the supplies.
So, its not a SUNYAC-wide event anymore, but we committed to it because it just works for our community, Ms. Bruce said. We get many thank you notes. Most of the time they come out with cookies and cider and hang out with the athletes.
One repeating customer the students have is Hyman Baker on Leroy Street. He and his wife, Ceile, are from New York City, but moved up to Potsdam a few years ago.
He said its fantastic that the student come out and rake his yard each year and that they do a great job.
Being from New York City, raking leaves isnt really my thing, he said. Its really nice when I dont have to deal with anything rural.
Mr. Baker said that previously he had to pay for people to rake his yard.
They support us, so we want to support them, Aliza M. Fields, a junior on the volleyball team, said. Maybe not these specific people, but the community does come to our games.

Currently we have a set of Lifecycle events, but they seem to be misleading both in actual implementation and documentation.
One good example is prePersist and postPersist, which is only fired when you're creating new entities. It should be renamed to preInsert and postInsert.
As of preUpdate and postUpdate, they seem quite valid.
But if we rename prePersist and postPersist to (pre|post)Insert, we may have a situation where you wanna cover both insert and update.
For this, (pre|post)Persist should be reinstated, but acting differently from what it does currently.
Also, documentation for post* methods is broken at the website:
"Changes in here are not relevant to the persistence in the database, but you can use this events to"
It cuts off in mid-sentence.
RDohms, this paragraph was already sorted out.
The actual ticket is still valid here.
Commenting here to say that this caused a lot of headaches for our project until we got it sorted out what these events really do.
The problem is that the term 'persist' is ambiguous - it means both persist and update in the context of the persist() function call, but only means INSERT in the context of the event system.

François Froideval is a French comics writer, specialized in heroic fantasy, but also in fiction in general. He wrote his first stories in the mid-1970s. He cooperated on the launch of the Jeux et Stratégie magazine, for which he wrote editorial text and developed several game pages. Afterwards, Froideval was editor-in-chief of Casus Belli periodical until his depart for the USA in 1982. In the States, he worked in the game animation field, like on the 'Donjons & Dragons' cycle.
In March 1988, Froideval turned to comics, with some comics for Pilote and Charlie ('Le Ninja de la Nuit' and 'Cauchemar', drawn by Henry Bismuth and Tignous). A year later, he started the fantasy cycle 'Les Chroniques de la Lune Noire' with Olivier Ledroit. After five episodes, the artwork on the series was taken over by Cyril Pontet.

In 1991, Manini teamed up with Jack Manini to create 'L'Archimage Robert' for Zenda publishers. At the same publisher, he came up with '666' two years later, drawn by Frank Tacito. From 1996 Froideval multiplied his collaborations, writing for Patrick Larme and Francard ('Les Fées et Fatum'), Wing K. Law ('Sakura'), Guillaume Sorel ('Mens Magna'), Fabrice Angleraud ('Atlantis'), Stéphane Collignon ('Lex'), and Nicolas Bournay ('Nexus'). For publisher Albin Michel, he launched the series 'Methraton' (with Fabrice Druet in 2001) and 'Harkhanges' (with Sylvain Guinebaud in 2002). In the following year, he started 'Hyrknoss' with Andreï Arinouchkine at Casterman.

Commander's house back at site of old Oregon fort
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Perched atop the first story of what originally was a two-story house, workers on Thursday lined up the rafters as the house's second story, 30,000 pounds of roof and metal I-beams, dangled over their heads.
When a crane operator carefully lowered the roof so that the girders lined up perfectly, the workers began power hammering new boards to the two ends, tacking the two floors together board-by-board.
And so it came to pass that the historic Commander's House at Fort Hoskins stood, once again, in one piece on its original plot.
Down below and a safe distance away, a small group of people watched as years of research, planning and fundraising came to fruition.
"It's just in remarkable shape, and the fact that it was never significantly altered is probably more amazing than anything," said Oregon State University archaeologist David Brauner, who has researched and excavated the Fort Hoskins site since the mid-1970s. "I just can't describe the feeling when this thing got back on the original site — it's just amazing."
The pre-Civil War structure was home to Capt. Christopher Colon Auger, the first commander of Fort Hoskins. The fort was erected in 1856 in what is now Kings Valley to monitor and protect the newly established Coast Indian Reservation.
But in 1869 or 1870, the building was moved to Pedee, and that's where it stood until October.
The crew transported the house in two parts to Fort Hoskins on Oct. 21 to avert the expense of taking power lines down along the journey from Pedee, about eight miles away.
Last week, the ground floor was placed on a foundation. Rain and the resulting mud delayed bringing out the crane and assembling the house until Thursday.
It took a few hours to move the crane to the site and prepare it to lift the roof. Attaching the roof itself took another couple of hours. The crew plans to pull out the steel I-beams and close it in.
Returning the house to its original site is just the beginning, Brauner said. He plans to work with a historical architect to help determine the construction techniques and design elements to restore it back to its pre-Civil War era condition.
"We'll be doing the architectural history of the building, that's the detective work, inside and outside," he said.
The house's kitchen wing will be stored at the Benton County Public Works yard until it can be correctly reattached in the next summer or two. Behind the wallboard in the kitchen wing, Brauner has gotten a glimpse into the original architecture of the house.
"The original green painted walls are all there, so when we took the Sheetrock off, we could see the outline of where windows and doors were, where they took the molding of the doors when they remodeled it," Brauner said. "You can see the outline of the original 1850s molding. It's a ton of information on how to help us restore the building."
Benton County obtained the Fort Hoskins property in 1991, but no structures from the original fort remained on the site.
"I've worked on Fort Hoskins so long that every time I come down here I'm walking into the fort — it's all in my mind," Brauner said. "But to the casual visitor, they're looking at a bunch of grass and signage. Well, now there's a real tangible part of the pre-Civil War and Civil War standing here."

It's difficult to feel sunglass-savvy these days: between celebrity-driven trends and the constantly changing styles on the market, what's cool today can seem passé tomorrow. Aside from this instability, the simple process of picking the perfect pair is intimidating enough. After all, the right shades have a transformative power and can turn an outfit from playful to glam, or simple to edgy, in a snap. But don't despair, dear readers, finding the right sunglasses might be easier than you think, especially with the WhoWhatWear.com staff at your disposal!
As regular readers know, when it comes to sunglasses, we consider ourselves aficionados. Though we obsess about them all year long, we must admit our enthusiasm for the spring crop is particularly intense. In fact, the excitement levels were so high that we decided to skip showing our favorites on a fit model and jumped into the images ourselves! Although sunglasses are like shoes-meaning you can never have too many-we somehow managed to narrow it down to the absolute cutest, most flattering, and on-trend pairs for today's Top Five. From circular styles to eighties-inspired wayfarers, we hope you enjoy our picks. And now, without further ado, here are the shades you must have at this very moment!
1. Benjamin Eyewear Cindy Sunglasses ($325)
Of all the styles we pulled for today's story, the Cindy Sunglasses from Benjamin Eyewear topped everyone's list. Modeled by our resident stylist, Angela, these oversized black frames are incredibly flattering on a range of face shapes. They were inspired by two excellent references: the sunglass-clad ladies in Patrick Nagel's iconic, eighties lithographs and classic Italian frames from the sixties. The results are truly amazing and are sure to add a glamorous oomph to any outfit-no wonder Gwyneth Paltrow purchased this exact pair just last week! Of course, we do have some alternatives for you as well: try Topshop's 80's Flat Top ($30) version for a similar look at a lower price. You also might like the wire-framed style of American Apparel's Highwire Sunglasses ($30) as another option.
2. AJ Morgan
Feline Sunglasses
While the eighties and nineties were big influences on the Spring 09 runways, we also saw the reemergence of classic fifties looks at shows like Giambattista Valli and Michael Kors. Naturally, the decade's shapes and silhouettes trickled down to accessories too, albeit in a modern way. Take AJ Morgan's Feline Sunglasses, for example: they offer a subtle riff on the iconic wayfarer shape-very Talented Mr. Ripley. As seen on Kate, above, the subtly retro style has a very luxe look, especially when paired with a little red lipstick! They're perfect for lots of different occasions: a three-martini lunch, holiday on the Rivera, or even just cruising around town in a sweet summer dress.
3. Vintage Classic by Ralph Lauren Sunglasses ($250, 323.951.9740)
As we mentioned earlier this season, the circular frame is having a major fashion moment. As modeled by one of our wonderful WhoWhatWear.com interns, Amy, these Vintage Classic Sunglasses by Ralph Lauren are the perfect amalgam of style and spirit. Handmade in Italy in the eighties, they're of the utmost quality and are just as fashionable now as when they were originally created. The tortoise and wire frames give them a modern and cutting-edge look, even with the round, vintage shape. For a similar look, try Lennon Brown's Leather-Like Small Round ($16) version; they're a total steal.
4. Lanvin #4122 Sunglasses ($295)
Our Top Five needed a dose of Parisian chic, so we included these Lanvin sunglasses, as they give our other editorial assistant, Liza, a certain je ne sais quoi. Although they're not traditional-at least in the Delacroix floor of the d'Orsay sense-this sturdy, circular shape favored by fashion icons like Mary-Kate Olsen is already a cult classic. Perfectly proportioned, we like Lanvin's version because it doesn't overpower une petite face. Since this style is so à la mode, there are plenty of options that will help you achieve a similar look for less of an investment. Choose from Cheap Monday's Night on Earth Circle Wayfarer ($30), 80s Purple Activist Vintage Sunglasses ($10), or 80s Purple Inventor Round Vintage Glasses ($10), which has the added flair of a flip shade.
5. Karen Walker Duper Strength Sunglasses ($200) in Powder Blue
Our coverage wouldn't be complete without at least one colorful set of sunglasses, so we decided to include this powder blue pair. Modeled by our associate photo editor, Christian, these Karen Walker Duper Strength sunglasses really pack a playful punch! The light blue hue is a fresh update to last summer's clear craze and neon frames, not to mention they're a bit jazzier than classic black. You can never go wrong with Karen Walker-her shades have been seen on fashion savants like Alexa Chung, Jenny Lewis, and Zoe Kravitz. Punky and perfectly cool, they're a highly covetable, super-strong selection!-Liza Kaplan

A Watertown man was sentenced Wednesday in Jefferson County Court to up to three years in state prison for twice having sexual intercourse with underage girls.
Robert L. Taplin, 21, was sentenced as a second felony offender to 1� to 3 years in prison for Jan. 22 guilty pleas to two counts of third-degree rape and an admission that he violated probation by committing a new crime. He admitted that in August 2010 he engaged in sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 15 in Watertown and that on Oct. 24 he had sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 17, again in Watertown.
At the time of the second incident, he was serving a five-year term of probation imposed in May for a third-degree attempted burglary conviction.
In other court activity:
Lee M. Adkins, 22, Watertown, was sentenced to concurrent one-year terms in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building for Jan. 15 guilty pleas to third-degree assault and second-degree attempted assault. He admitted that he struck Gregory G. Gleason, Watertown, in the face with his fist during a Sept. 20 altercation at Fat Boys tavern, 743 Huntington St. Police said Mr. Gleason suffered bleeding, bruising and swelling to his face. Mr. Adkins also admitted that he attempted to injure Lt. Richard C. Wood, who tried to break up the fight, by striking him. Lt. Wood suffered a sprain of his left knee in the scuffle, police said.
James F. Weaver, 37, Irondequoit, Monroe County, was sentenced to five years probation and fined $2,500 for a Nov. 27 guilty plea to felony driving while intoxicated. He admitted that he drove while intoxicated July 6 on Route 12 in the town of Clayton after previously having been convicted of misdemeanor DWI in Irondequoit Town Court. He also was sentenced to five days in the PSB, had his drivers license revoked and was ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns or operates. His probation supervision will be transferred to Monroe County.
Linda M. Clyde-Jones, 49, Theresa, was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to pay $1,400 in restitution in the form of a civil judgment for a Jan. 2 guilty plea to fourth-degree attempted grand larceny. She admitted that between Dec. 10 and 12, she tried to steal more than $3,000 worth of jewelry from Sheila Yates in the town of Antwerp.
Jannell L. Labrake, 33, formerly of Carthage, now of Franklin County, was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the PSB and three years probation for a March 23 guilty plea to second-degree falsifying business records. She was accused in January 2012 of canceling records of sales transactions to cover up the theft of small amounts of money at her employer, the Nice N Easy on Bridge Street in Carthage. She also was ordered to pay $200 in restitution. Her probation supervision will be transferred to Franklin County.
Ronald R. Kahn, 41, Black River, pleaded guilty to attempted failure to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge. He also was fined $300. He was charged in January with failure to update his file with the states sexual offender registry. He is a Level 1 sex offender, the lowest of three categories, having been convicted of third-degree rape, involving a 15-year-old girl, in May 2000 in County Court.
Mark S. Remington, 25, Watertown, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal contempt. He was charged in December with moving back in with Laurena E. Chapin, who held an order of protection against him. He is expected to be sentenced June 10 to nine months time served at the PSB.
Willie R. Fowler, 36, Watertown, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He was accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in November with selling cocaine twice on the same day in late August. Sentencing was set for April 19.

Detailed Description:
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious disease in Taiwan, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality including hepatic failure, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently a large body of evidence supports that high level of serum HBV DNA is an independent risk factor for late complications in CHB patients. Nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUC) are effective antiviral therapy that can potently inhibit replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and has been widely used in management of patients with CHB. Current practice guidelines recommend using serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2 times of the upper limit of normal (ULN) as the prerequisite to initiate antiviral therapy in compensated CHB patients without liver cirrhosis. However, serum ALT level does not exactly correlate with serum HBV DNA or liver tissue injury. Whether antiviral therapy improves outcomes of patients with slightly elevated ALT (i.e. 1-2 folds of ULN) remains unknown.

Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study highlights the significant side effect profile associated with GnRH agonist use in non-metastatic prostate cancer. The methods used in patient selection and follow-up, however, were not able to identify use of bisphosponate therapy between the two groups, and intermittent versus continuous use of GnRH agonists in the study group was likewise unknown. Nonetheless, physicians should consider the side effect profile of GnRH agonists and potentially take measures to prevent the inherent skeletal events via such options as bisphosphonate therapy and intermittent dosing of GnRH agonists.

Alas, the time has come for me to air my ignorance:
I am a relative newcomer to linux and am currently running SuSe 9.3. Until recently I could only access the internet via a dial-up connection, but am now able to use broadband ADSL at 512k.
I had no problems configuring my modem for dial-up, but I have not yet been able to configure my D-Link G604T ADSL router to allow access from my linux system to the internet.
I am able to access the router from Linux as address 192.168.1.1 to enable me to set it up, so I know that the router is somehow connected. I am also able to access the internet via this router from, dare I mention it, Win XP, but for Linux the secret eludes me. I have spent a couple of weeks trying to find the answers from various sources.
Ironically, one of the reasons for me moving to linux was that there is too much hand-holding in Windows, so I find this rather embarassing.

MASSENA - A 30-year-old Massena man was arrested Monday and charged with exposing himself to a woman in July.
The Massena Police Department Investigations Unit charged Jason D. Tassie, 124 Main St., Apt. 2, with a misdemeanor count of third-degree criminal trespass and a exposure of a person.
Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said the arrest was a result of an investigation that began at 11:45 p.m. July 26, 2012 when a female reported to police that a man was standing outside her back patio door exposing his private parts.
Mr. Currier said that DNA results returned from the New York State Police Forensic Investigation Center were used to confirm the perpetrators identity and support criminal charges.
Tassie was arraigned Monday afternoon by Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and released without bail to reappear at a later date.
This arrest demonstrates the value of DNA evidence and how law enforcement can utilize it to help bring cases to a successful close, Mr. Currier said.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Chris Benchetler was born and raised in the Eastern Sierra and wants to share his passion for adventure and these incredible mountains through a two-day camp over Memorial Day Weekend. Shred the mountain with Chris and experience a new and creative way to look at Mammoth Mountain.
The highly anticipated premier of Freeskiing at the Winter Olympics was a resounding success and Atomic Freeski athletes performed phenomenally well in both of the new events. Gus Kenworthy won the silver medal in Men's Slopestyle, Mike Riddle also won silver in Men's Halfpipe and Ayana Onuzuka took bronze in women's halfpipe.
Five generations deep – pillow bashing and powder slashing have never been more fun. The sixth reincarnation of the Bent Chetler will yet again take the world of powder skiing a leap forward, with the introduction of brand new Atomic HRZN Tech.
With Gus Kenworthy being crowned overall AFP world champion, Nicky Keefer winning the 'ruler of the week' and the 'best style' awards at the Nine Knights and Mike Riddle claiming the FIS world halfpipe championship, another highly successful season has come to a close.
Gus Kenworthy claims bronze and Jossi Wells silver at the 2013 X Games Tignes infront of an exhuberant french crowd. As an AFP platinum event the winter X Games Tignes is one of the most important competitions of the season and both Gus and Jossi couldn't be happier with the result.
After the success of Gus Kenworthy, Byron Wells and Mike Riddle, Atomic athlete Andreas Håtveit also claims his first major podium of the 2012/13 competitive season. A second place finish in the slopestyle finals of the Dew Tour in Breckenridge, an AFP platinum level event, is the perfect start to the season and Andreas is fired up on the success.
Gus kenworthy claimed his first two podiums with Atomic this weekend in London at the relentless freeze big air competition. Unleashing an unbelievable array of tricks with the required technicality and unrivaled style, Gus had the local crowd in a frenzy anticipating what trick would come next.
Widely considered one of the most talented and innovative park and pipe skiers on the planet, Gus Kenworthy has partnered with Atomic through the olympic year, 2014. With his unmatched passion and continual dominance on the competition circuit, Gus and Atomic are primed to destroy parks worldwide.
Jossi Wells, Chris Benchetler, Elias Ambühl, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Dana Flahr and Molly Baker have worked with the experts at Atomic to build the kind of freeski equipment they themselves have always dreamed of.
A role model and a modern freeskiing pioneer, Michelle Parker is now shredding the mountains on Atomic skis. Incredibly excited to welcome Michelle to the family, Atomic will be the perfect compliment to her unmatched positive attitude and backcountry prowess.

The 10 year-old Carbon Blue All Stars are Cal Ripken baseball state champions.
Remaining undefeated through three days of play at home in Price, Carbon Blue got big hits when they needed and strong pitching throughout, finishing the tournament with a pair of tense one-run victories.
"These kids were amazingly focused for their age," said team scorekeeper Nicole Steele, who also has a son on the team.
Price and Vernal, the tournament's only undefeated teams heading into the weekend, met in semi-final action on Saturday morning after a storm postponed Friday play. Down three in the third, Carbon's Jordan Fossat locked on to a Vernal fastball and cleared the bases with a grand slam.
This year's tournament marked the first occasion in several years that the home run was a factor, as 10 year old All Stars often play on a field that lacks a Cal Ripken regulation fence.
Vernal tied the contest in the fourth, before Levi Schade crossed the plate in the bottom half, making the score 5-4 and handing the Uintah Basin squad their first loss. Jered Davies pitched the game's first four innings with Dillion Thomas coming on to close out the last two.
Vernal would not go down quietly however, as they returned to face Carbon Blue in the tourney's final Saturday night.
In the Championship game Carbon trailed by 3 runs heading into the last inning. Seven runs for each team heading into extra-innings after three days of play. In the top of the seventh, Vernal hit a single to left field to start overtime action. The next batter hit the ball straight at second base and Cayden Steele, who tagged the oncoming runner and threw to first for a double play, negating the Vernal threat.
Tournament Most Valuable Player Jered Davies needed only one pitch in the bottom of the seventh to make Carbon Blue 10 year-old State Champs. His walk off home-run gave Carbon an 8-7 win and punch their ticket to the next round of play in California. In the championship, Jordan Fossat pitched the first four innings before Cooper Schade came on for two with Dillion Thomas closing out the last set.
The team now heads toVisalia, CA where they will face the likes of Arizona, Guam, Hawaii, Nothern Utah, Northern California, Central California, Southern Utah, Nevada, Visalia and Southern California. They will be selling snow cones through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Smith's, Walmart and Sutherlands to help finance the trip. Donations will also be taken and greatly appreciated.
The Carbon Blue team is Jordan Fossat, Austin Emerson, Jered Davies, Cayden Steele, Levi Schade, Cooper Schade, Chase Magann, Ryker Childs, Brayton Nielsen, Dillion Thomas and Austin Fiechko. They are coached by Bob Fossat, Mark Emerson and Cletis Steele.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #07)by J. K. Rowling
Staff Pick
I couldn't imagine a better ending for this extraordinary series. J. K. Rowling, thank you for staying true to your vision.
The seeds planted throughout the series bear fruit in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. How did Dumbledore's nose get broken? Or his hand burned to a crisp? You will find all the answers here. This is the finest book in the series; the writing is excellent and action and emotion come together seamlessly. Harry emerges from the pages as an adult, confident and grim.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The thrilling final book in J. K. Rowling's seven-part saga receives a production treatment as sumptuous as its story, with a special slipcase and art exclusive to this Deluxe edition.
Beyond the excitement of the Book 7 text itself, the Deluxe Edition includes an exclusive insert featuring near-scale reproductions of Mary GrandPré's interior art, as well as never-before-seen full-color frontispiece art on special paper. The custom-designed slipcase is foil-stamped and contains a full-cloth case book that has been blind-stamped on front and back cover with foil stamping on the spine. The book includes full-color endpapers featuring the jacket art from the trade edition, and a wraparound jacket featuring art created especially for this edition by Mary GrandPré.
"Potter fans, relax — this review packs no spoilers. Instead, we're taking advantage of our public platform to praise Rowling for the excellence of her plotting. We can't think of anyone else who has sustained such an intricate, endlessly inventive plot over seven thick volumes and so constantly surprised us with twists, well-laid traps and Purloined Letter-style tricks. Hallows continues the tradition, both with sly feats of legerdemain and with several altogether new, unexpected elements. Perhaps some of the surprises in Hallows don't have quite the punch as those of earlier books, but that may be because of the thoroughness and consistency with which Rowling has created her magical universe, and because we've so raptly absorbed its rules.
We're also seizing the occasion to wish out loud that her editors had done their jobs more actively. It's hard to escape the notion that the first three volumes were more carefully edited than the last four. Hallows doesn't contain the extraneous scenes found in, say, Goblet of Fire, but the momentum is uneven. Rowling is much better at comedy than at fight scenes, and no reader of the sixth book will be startled to hear that Hallows has little humor or that its characters engage in more than a few fights. Surely her editors could have helped her find other methods of building suspense besides the use of ellipses and dashes? And craft fight dialogue that sounds a bit less like it belongs in a comic book? Okay, we're quibbling. We know these minor nuisances won't dent readers' enjoyment, at least not this generation of readers; we couldn't put Hallows down ourselves. But we believe Rowling, and future readers, deserved even better. Ages 9-12. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"All great writers are wizards. Considering the mass Harrysteria of the last few days, who would have been surprised if they had logged on to YouTube at 12.01 a.m. Saturday and seen J.K. Rowling pronounce a curse — 'Mutatio libri!' — that would magically change the final pages of her book and foil the overeager reviewers and Web spoilsports who revealed its surprise ending? Yet... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) Rowling's spell remains unshattered, despite the broken embargo: It's hard to imagine a better ending than the one she's written for her saga after 10 years, more than 4,000 pages and close to 400 million copies in print. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' may be a miracle of marketing, but it's also a miraculous book that earns out, emotionally and artistically. Was it worth the wait? You bet. I was a somewhat reluctant Potter convert. Rowling's debt to the great 20th-century English fantasists — J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, E. Nesbit, Alan Garner — made her work seem less homage than unabashedly derivative. Still, I read the first five books aloud to my two children, and also listened to Stephen Fry's delectable audiobooks (more than once). I found Rowling's prose style clunky (though Fry made her words sing like Shakespeare) and her storytelling workmanlike in the early books. But Rowling's darker, more resolute vision in 'Prisoner of Azkaban' won me over. By Book 6, my kids were teenagers, and I no longer had reading aloud as an excuse. I was hooked. So Friday night I lined up at midnight at my local bookstore, along with a hundred other readers, and scored my copy of 'Deathly Hallows.' Sleepless, over-caffeinated and teary-eyed, I finally finished it on Saturday morning. Tolkien continues to cast a long shadow over Harry Potter's world, along with C.S. Lewis, but the writer most evoked by 'Deathly Hallows' is Charles Dickens. Rowling's enchantments have always lived easily in a secular world, rooted in mundane details of Muggle life and wry, careful accounts of wizards who work side-by-side, if unobserved, by their nonmagical neighbors. Like Dickens, she has a gift for marvelous names — Severus Snape is as brilliant a moniker as Magwitch or Ebenezer Scrooge — as well as that of making the everyday seem at once familiar and extraordinary. Her magical world is grounded in small, meticulous observations — that liminal train platform at King's Cross; the disgusting flavors of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans; the wearying bureaucracy of the Ministry of Magic — that can make her invented world seem as real as ours. In 'Deathly Hallows,' the thin protective veil between the Muggle and Wizarding worlds is torn away. Voldemort no longer lurks in the shadows: His forces have infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself, intent upon practicing their form of wizardly genocide. Half-blood wizards and Muggles are designated Undesirables, and Harry Potter is 'Undesirable Number One.' Muggle families like the Dursleys and the Grangers resort to a kind of Wizard Protection Program to escape being tormented by Dementors, and a mass escape from Azkaban Prison is hushed up by a corrupt Ministry of Magic, which has embraced the Orwellian slogan 'Magic is Might.' Against this grim backdrop, Harry and his closest friends, Hermione and Ron, become fugitives. All three refuse to return to a Hogwarts where the murderous Severus Snape is now Headmaster, after having killed the beloved Albus Dumbledore at the end of Book 6. The aftermath of Dumbledore's death is not easily resolved. In his will, he left three enigmatic objects to Harry, Ron and Hermione, artifacts that they hope will aid them in locating the hidden Horcruxes, which contain Voldemort's divided soul, and so defeat him. But their quest for the Horcruxes leads them into the stranger and darker territory of Dumbledore's past, and a dizzying labyrinth of betrayals and counterplots that both reverses and deepens a reader's understanding of everything that has happened in the previous volumes. 'Deathly Hallows' is exhilarating but also exhausting: Rowling's prose suddenly shifts into high gear, and the spectacularly complex interplay of narrative and character often reads as though an entire trilogy's worth of summing-up has been crammed into one volume. The novel's breakneck speed is reminiscent of John Buchan's fervid 'The 39 Steps.' 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' is a far bleaker, unapologetically adult novel than its predecessors, which now have the feel of a long, picturesque prologue, rather as 'The Hobbit' is a prelude to 'The Lord of the Rings,' with subplots involving goblins and warring factions who behave like orcs quarreling over the injured Frodo. But the echoes of Tolkien and Lewis are sometimes too obvious. The locket that is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes exerts a malignant power over its owners, inevitably evoking the One Ring, and the story owes too much to 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.' Yet Rowling trumps even Tolkien in the sheer humanity of her characters. She nimbly and unsparingly dissects the master-slave relationship of the wizards to their elf and goblin helpmeets, and the arrogance of the sorcerers — even ostensibly good ones — toward their ordinary, human counterparts. And the maturation of Harry and his friends is as moving as it is realistic: Their romantic and emotional bonds are frayed and sometimes appear to be severed, but Harry and Ron and Hermione stumble on, dogged and damp and quarrelsome as real adolescents. 'The rain was pounding the tent, tears were pouring down Hermione's face, and the excitement of a few minutes before had vanished as if it had never been, a short-lived firework that had flared and died, leaving everything dark, wet and cold. The sword of Gryffindor was hidden they knew not where, and they were three teenagers in a tent whose only achievement was not, yet, to be dead.' Beloved figures die in this book. But it's part of Rowling's greatness that she permits her surviving characters to grieve, and they — and the reader — are the better for it. Rowling understands that grief is part of what makes us wholly human, along with the ability to love and forgive and show remorse. And while magic is ultimately seen to have limits — Death has its dominion, even at Hogwarts — love does not. Rowling's major theme throughout the Harry Potter books is not the power of magic to maintain the wizards' social order, but that of love to create and sustain a community, to establish a sometimes fragile but remarkably resilient network of families, good, bad and indifferent. Parental love triumphs over even death; the love not just of biological mothers and fathers but of godparent and grandparents. There may be no broken families of divorce in the Harry Potter books, but there are blended families made up of orphaned children, Muggle and magic alike — another trope Rowling shares with Dickens, who also understood the anguish and longing of the awkward, unlovable child shunted aside by his better-off, better-looking peers. The much-maligned loner Snape does not come onstage until the latter part of 'Deathly Hallows,' but when he does the book becomes his: Snape's fate, more than Voldemort's, perhaps more even than Harry's, is the most heartbreaking, surprising and satisfying of all of Rowling's achievements. I cried at the end of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.' It's that rare thing, an instant classic that earns its catharsis honestly, not through hype or sentiment but through the author's vision and hard work. One gets the feeling that J.K. Rowling is as relieved and joyous as we are to reach this point at last; that she's grown and suffered and struggled through the last 10 years, just like Harry. Just like us. " Reviewed by Patrick Anderson, Washington Post Book World (Copyright 2006 Washington Post Book World Service/Washington Post Writers Group)
(hide most of this review)
"[T]rue to its roots, [the series] ends...with good old-fashioned closure: a big-screen, heart-racing, bone-chilling confrontation and an epilogue that clearly lays out people's fates....While Ms. Rowling's astonishingly limber voice still moves effortlessly between Ron's adolescent sarcasm and Harry's growing solemnity, from youthful exuberance to more philosophical gravity, Deathly Hallows is, for the most part, a somber book that marks Harry's final initiation into the complexities and sadnesses of adulthood." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"I'm amazed, when I sit back, at the sheer, immensely complicated arc of the story; Rowling has always said she had the entire seven-book series plotted out from the very beginning, and it's clear she did....Rowling winds up her tale with a stunningly beautiful simplicity. As an added flourish, she gilds it with a moving epilogue, one that brought tears to my eyes." Entertainment Weekly
"It's hard to imagine a better ending than the one she's written for her saga....Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may be a miracle of marketing, but it's also a miraculous book that earns out, emotionally and artistically." Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post
"[A] triumph. Its weaknesses become a source of strength, like the scar on Harry's forehead, and the seventh and last novel in J.K. Rowling's series turns out to be the best one." The Oregonian
"Book 7 is no less penetrating, but it lacks much of the charm and humor that distinguished the earlier novels. Even the writing is more prosaic, less fanciful....
"It's a great read. Don't be sad that it's over — to be complete, a finished, fully realized creation, Harry's tale had to end. We had to know what would finally happen to him, and now we do. I'm satisfied, and I can't wait to see the movie version of this last book." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Seventh time's the charm. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows isn't letter-perfect, but it's the most captivating book in J.K. Rowling's series. Dramatic, poignant and deftly plotted, it's a classic yarn." Kansas City Star
"[A]n exhausting, gut-wrenching experience....It is very, very good. Rowling's seventh novel shows she's mastered her craft: All her powers are on display here — the magnificent imagination, the keen wit, and, most of all, her tremendous gifts as a mystery writer." Miami Herald
"[W]hat Rowling has achieved in this book and the series can be described only as astonishing. Just as her characters have matured, the language and tone of the books have grown in sophistication and lyricism. But she has never lost the sense of wonder that has propelled her into literary legend." Los Angeles Times
The magnificent final book in J. K. Rowling's seven-part saga comes to readers July 21, 2007.
